An enabling legal environment that protects and promotes human rights and gender equality supports rights-based responses to health that for all, including vulnerable and key populations, to leave no-one behind.
An enabling legal framework that protects and promotes human rights and gender equality is imperative to fostering the health and development of all people and attaining the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. Protective laws, policies and practices support non-discrimination, equality and freedom from violence for vulnerable and key populations, allowing for rights-based health responses that promote:
access to effective health information and services without discrimination
reduction of health risks with appropriate prevention, treatment, care and support
participation meaningfully in the design, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of services
realization of human rights to equality, health and development
Rights-based health responses are effective, efficient and inclusive as they reach even those left further behind, such as vulnerable and key populations. Without efforts to protect and promote the right to health, health services may fail to reach vulnerable and key populations and achieve their hoped-for health outcomes. In the Risk, Rights & Health Supplementary Report of 2018, the Global Commission on HIV and the Law notes that while new HIV infections have declined, the number of people living with HIV has risen steadily particularly amongst key populations. There are an estimated 2.7 million more people today living with HIV than there were in 2010. "Members of marginalised populations—gay men and other men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender people, prisoners, and their sexual partners—accounted for 47 percent of new infections in 2017."
Populations who live in situations of inequality and exclusion and struggle to realise their basic human rights are vulnerable to health risks, including the risk of HIV, TB and malaria.
Vulnerable and key populations include populations that live in poverty without access to safe housing, water, sanitation and nutrition and those who are stigmatized, discriminated against, marginalized by society and even criminalized in law, policy and practice. These populations may struggle to fulfil their human rights, including their rights to access health and social services. They live in environments of inequality where they are unable to thrive, feel safe and actively participate in all aspects of society. Communicable diseases such as HIV, TB and malaria, and non-communicable diseases such as cancers and chronic respiratory illnesses, disproportionately affect vulnerable and key populations.
Case study Decriminalizing homosexuality in India
Decriminalizing homosexuality in India protects rights, including health rights, of men who have sex with men.
In September 2018 India's Supreme Court declared that the Indian law that effectively criminalizes consensual same-sex sex was unconstitutional and violated the basic rights of LGBT persons. The court ruled that, in so far as the law criminalizes consensual same-sex sexual acts between adults, it discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation and is a fundamental violation of basic human rights.
The court decision protects the rights of LGBT persons to equality, non-discrimination, freedom of expression, privacy, dignity, life and liberty. It will also arguably have a wider impact on the lives of LGBT persons—including improving their physical and mental well-being and their access to health-care services. The court heard various arguments against criminalization of same-sex sex, including that in countries where same-sex sex is criminalized, LGBT populations experience extreme hardships, including psychosocial distress, and they tend to avoid seeking healthcare for fear of prosecution.
Responding to the Supreme Court decision, Christine Stegling, Executive Director of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, noted: "Far too often, such laws drive LGBT people away from crucial services, such as HIV prevention and testing, and have a devastating impact on individuals' health. Today is a victory for the thousands of activists whose tireless work will have a positive impact on the lives and health of India's LGBT community." i
According to UNAIDS' 2017 statistics, HIV prevalence among gay men and other men who have sex with men in India is 2.7%, in a country where the national HIV prevalence amongst all adults is 0.2%. Around three out of ten gay men and men who have sex with men in India who are living with HIV do not know their HIV status and many people living with HIV do not have access to HIV treatment.
While the Indian Supreme Court decision has been widely celebrated among civil society and key populations, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (Ilga) reports that, in 2017, same-sex relationships were still criminalized in 72 countries, particularly in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. It is critical that countries review their laws criminalizing same-sex sex, in order to protect and promote the rights of all people and to attain the Sustainable Development Goals for all people, ensuring no one is left behind.
The Special Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGASS) 2016 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS and UNAIDS recognize that specific populations experience greater vulnerability to and risk of HIV exposure and are key to the epidemic and its response. UNAIDS considers gay men and men who have sex with men, sex workers and their clients, transgender people, people who inject drugs, migrants and prisoners as key populations. These populations often suffer from punitive laws or stigmatizing policies and are among the most likely to be exposed to HIV.
The Political Declaration further notes the vulnerability of adolescent girls and young women, migrants and key populations and the fact that, despite their higher risk of HIV, many national HIV prevention, testing and treatment programmes fail to provide adequate access to services for these populations.
In the Risk, Rights & Health Supplementary Report of 2018, the Global Commission on HIV and the Law notes that "while new HIV infections decline, the number of people living with HIV has risen steadily: There are an estimated 2.7 million more people today living with HIV than there were in 2010. Members of marginalized populations—gay men and other men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers, transgender people, prisoners, and their sexual partners—accounted for 47 percent of new infections in 2017."
The UNAIDS Strategy 2016-2021 notes the need to reduce inequalities in access to service and commodities, so that young people, particularly young women and adolescent girls, access combination prevention services and are empowered to protect themselves from HIV and that tailored HIV combination prevention services are accessible to key populations, including sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender people and prisoners, as well as migrants.
Vulnerable and key populations and the organizations that support them may be unable to operate and to participate in the design, delivery and monitoring of successful health responses. According to the Global Commission on HIV and the law "…many governments are rescinding women's reproductive rights, persecuting LGBT people, sex workers, and people who use drugs, and stifling the civil society groups that provide services, hold governments to account and mobilize calls for justice" despite the clear evidence that outreach to and collaboration with key populations have positive benefits for reversing the HIV epidemic."
Rights-based health programmes work to address critical enablers—the various legal, political, social, cultural and economic factors that make these populations more vulnerable to infection or illness or that create barriers to their access to prevention, treatment, care and support services and to their participation in national responses to health.
Example: Protective health laws and policies needed for people who use drugs
According to the World Drug Report 2017, one in six of the estimated 15.6 million people who inject drugs worldwide, are living with HIV, over half have hepatitis C and many have a heightened risk of contracting TB.
People who use drugs continue to experience human rights abuses—from the death penalty and extrajudicial killings to inhumane and coerced drug treatment and conditional access to expensive medicines. According to The Global Commission on Drug Policy's 2016 report, strict drug laws have escalated public health crises in the form of HIV and hepatitis C epidemics. The Global Commission on HIV and the Law's 2018 Risk, Rights & Health Supplementary Report describes how criminalization of the possession, use and cultivation of small amounts of illicit drugs leaves a trail of damage for people living with HIV and its co-infections. As described in the Commission's 2012 report, Risks, Rights & Health, policies preferring criminalization and imprisonment over the provision of harm reduction services to people who use drugs, drive people underground and exacerbate health risks. The UN Standard Minimum Rules for Treatment of Prisoners of 1955—known as the Nelson Mandela Rules—mandate that prisoners receive the same standards of healthcare that are available in the community, without charge or discrimination, including for HIV, viral hepatitis, TB and other infectious diseases, as well as for drug dependence. Few prisons around the world follow these rules, with only 40 countries having at least one prison that offers access to HIV treatment or opioid substitution therapy.
The Global Commission on HIV and the Law has urged governments to adopt rights-based law, rights and policy responses to people who use drugs, recommending that states:
decriminalize the possession of drugs for personal use
replace compulsory or coercive services with evidence-based, voluntary services, including
closing down compulsory drug detention centres
not employing coercive methods (such as national drug user registries, mandatory HIV testing, mandating abstinence from drug use as a precondition for accessing HIV, TB or viral hepatitis treatment and forced treatment)
not confining persons during treatment or detaining or imprisoning anyone for failure to take up, adhere to or successfully complete HIV, TB or viral hepatitis therapy or drug dependence treatment
repeal laws or regulations that mandate total abstinence from drug use as a pre-condition for accessing treatment for HIV, TB or viral hepatitis
ensure that incarceration is a last resort for drug use and drug-dependence offences and should instead promote alternatives to incarceration for drug use, and drug-dependence offences
adopt legal protections to prevent discrimination against people who use drugs
The Global Fund prioritizes key populations in HIV, TB and malaria responses
Three of the world's most serious communicable diseases—HIV, TB and malaria—disproportionately affect those populations least able to protect their rights and access non-discriminatory, quality and affordable health care.
Key populations are defined by the Global Fund as populations that have a high epidemiological impact from AIDS, TB and malaria, combined with reduced access to services and/or being criminalized or otherwise marginalized.
The Key Populations Action Plan says: "Depending on the context, this might include groups such as orphans, street children, people with disabilities, people living in extreme poverty, mobile workers and other migrants. Some occupations – in particular mining – and contexts may enhance the risk of TB even more by limiting access to healthy environments. Children and pregnant women – in particular women with HIV - are particularly vulnerable to malaria as their immunity is reduced. In many African countries women and girls who are not marginalized – and so would not be defined as 'key affected women' – are highly affected by HIV and must be considered as a vulnerable population."
Depending on the local context, vulnerable populations require focused efforts and resources that address their enhanced needs and protect and promote their human rights, even though they do not fall under the general definition of "key populations". The Global Fund's new funding model directs resources to priority services where needs are greatest in order to achieve impact."
The Global Fund also recognizes vulnerable populations—those who have increased vulnerabilities in a particular context but may not fit the criteria above—such as adolescent girls and young women and people with disabilities.
Global Commission on HIV and Law: Risk, Rights & Health Supplementary Report Highlights developments since 2012 in science, technology, law, geopolitics, and funding that affect people living with or at risk from HIV and its coinfections.
Global Fund Key Populations Action Plan Describes actions to strengthen the work and the impact of the Global Fund with respect to key populations.
Fact Sheet: Human Rights and the Three Diseases This Fact Sheet was developed with inputs from the Roll Back Malaria Partnership and the Stop TB Partnership Task Force on TB and Human Rights.

Q: When using psql to copy from a csv file, a "" for a null column generates an error instead of a null I'm trying to use copy to copy a large csv file into a postgres table.
A certain integer column is primarily null. In the csv file, this column just has "".
Every column is quoted, which doesn't seem to be an issue for other columns.
I get this error when I try to copy it:
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: ""
I tried setting a NULL clause to '' and "" in my copy statement. '' does nothing, "" generates an error:
zero-length delimited identifier at or near """"
I tried using sed to change all "" to " ", but that still doesn't work even when I set the null clause to " ". I still get
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: " "
For now I am able to proceed by sed'ing the column to -1. I don't really care about this column much anyways. I'd be ok to just setting it to null, or ignoring it, but when I tried to take it out of the column definition section of the copy command, postgres yelled at me.
So my question comes down to this: how can I tell postgres to treat "" as a null value?
Thank you.

A: The typical way to indicate a missing value (null) in a .csv file is to just put nothing into that field. For instance, if you have three columns (A, B and C) and there is no value for B, the .csv file would contain "Col A value",,"Col C value". "" is a string value, not a numeric value, so there's no way for it to be considered one.

A: This is what the force_null option is for:

Match the specified columns' values against the null string, even if it has been quoted

So assuming the name of the int column is "y":
\copy foo from foo.csv with (format csv, force_null (y));

Stately Mansion
Stately Mansion, Kate's third album, was recorded and engineered by Jim Martin at Jim Martin Productions, St Albans, West Virginia, and Josh Clark at Get Real Records, Bath.
"Through a background ranging from champion Maryland string bands to the Celtic American fusion band, The Caledonia Ramblers, Kate Lissauer has built a reputation as one of the finest exponents of old-time American music on the scene. This, her third album, recorded between the US and the UK (where she is now resident) can only add to that reputation.
Though no slouch on banjo – listen to the simple take on 'Willie Moore'with its dnging picking adding homely wistfulness to the ballad's pathos, it's Lissauer's fiddle playing that dazzles throughout. Her playing has that beautiful rhythmic sway beneath the melody lines that is guaranteed to getfeettapping, with the likes of 'Falls Of Richmond' and 'Hell Among The Yearlings' really kicking up the sawdust.
The vocal performance, too, is impressive. Bryan Bowers'stitle track, to which Lissauer has added her own verses, resonates with yeaming, while the rattling 'Reuben's Train' rips along with excellent choruses from the assembled cast of supporting musicians. Ballads, blues and fiery fiddle tunes; Kate Lissauer has them covered, animating her old-time sources with verve and style."
Oz Hardwick
"One of the most gifted exponents of old-time country…If you want a good solid oldtime record with that extra layer of emotional credibility and depth, then it's a simple decision: go for Kate straightaway"

Mature manhood cited as antidote to abuse
June 18th, 2019 / By: David Roach | TEXAN Correspondent / comments
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Upholding the biblical ideal of mature manhood is the best antidote to sexual abuse, said speakers at a Founders' Ministries event preceding the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting.
"Our calling as men is to protect and to provide and to stand up against abuse," said Josh Buice, pastor of Pray's Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, Ga., "and to believe in the dignity and value and the image-bearing picture we see not just in men, but also in women."
Founders—a ministry that promotes church health and advocates Calvinistic doctrine—convened June 10 at The Westin Birmingham for a day-long conference on "mature manhood in an immature age." The conference occurred in conjunction with the SBC annual meeting, where sexual abuse awareness and prevention were spotlighted.
Among Founders speakers, Buice pointed to Jesus as the ultimate example of manhood. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor Mark Coppenger noted common maxims on manhood that have been misappropriated, and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary professor Owen Strachan called men to discipline themselves for godly living.
Preaching from Ephesians 5, Buice said God-ordained gender roles are the solution to sexual abuse.
A low view of women was common in first-century Ephesus, where temple prostitution and other forms of sexual immorality abounded, Buice said. Ephesus was a city "filled with abused women."
To counter such a culture, Paul cited Jesus as the "prime example of mature manhood," Buice said. Christ cared for his bride, the church, by dying for her in the physical realm and seeking to make her holy in the spiritual realm.
"Step out in front. Care for your wife," Buice said to husbands. Risking safety and even life to protect a woman physically is "not male chauvinism. That's not misogyny. That's not sexism. That's not macho male ego. That's what you call male headship up on display in the context of marriage."
Yet a husband's care for his wife should extend beyond the physical realm, and beyond stereotypical notions of manhood, Buice said.
"You may hold a coral belt in Brazilian jujitsu and be able to bench press 300 pounds," Buice said. "And you may be able to climb a high mountain, skin a deer and shoot class-three weapons like a champ. But if you don't know how to care for your wife spiritually, you're not a biblical, mature man."
Coppenger, professor of Christian philosophy and ethics at Southern, said "there is a grain to creation. And when we act as though gender doesn't matter, then we're going cross grain and actually making fools of ourselves."
But in an effort to uphold the natural order of creation, Coppenger said, well-meaning believers sometimes misapply common maxims related to manhood. Among the misapplied maxims:
On a man's deathbed, he won't ever wish he spent more time at the office.
"I think more men ought to say, 'I wish I'd spent more time at work,'" Coppenger said. Men have callings in life that include work outside the home, and they must pursue those callings. "There is something worthy outside, and you can overdo the inside" even though family is of great importance.
God first, family second, ministry and career third.
While the maxim contains wisdom, Coppenger said, at times a wife or child may seek mistakenly to dissuade a man from accomplishing his God-given calling outside the home. In such instances, a family member's desire should not trump God's call.
Christians sometimes imply wrongly, "If you're not [home], you're slacking," he said.
At times, God calls wives to support their husbands' work at great cost, Coppenger said, as in the case of military and police wives, whose husbands are away from home for long periods of time.
"All of us ought to have the attitude that at a moment's call, if God desires, we're up and going," Coppenger said. "And the wife should have the attitude, 'You go. You get after it.'"
Men never should ignore their families, he said. Yet idolizing family is antithetical to godly masculinity.
"It seems like all the push is toward just making the man less of a man," Coppenger said. "And so I'm doing some awkward pushing back."
Strachan, associate professor of Christian theology at Midwestern, critiqued western culture's view of manhood as "schizophrenic."
American culture "is not set up for the flourishing of women," Strachan said. "American culture today tells us not to commit abuse, which is right. But it schizophrenically also tells us to do whatever we want sexually ... That is a schizophrenic, double-minded culture that is not set up to bless and protect women. It says it is. But it is actually set up to destroy women."
To withstand the cultural onslaught against women, Christians must "train men in the image of the warrior king, Christ Jesus," Strachan said, noting Jesus was "so disciplined and so controlled."
A key facet of male discipline is "to kill lust," Strachan said. Men should not merely "bounce our eyes." They should combat sexual immorality "at the level of desire" by confessing and repenting "the instant" sinful desire emerges.
Men also should discipline themselves "to win a woman's heart" in marriage and pursue the biblical ideal of what it means to be a man.
Among other truths Strachan said men must learn:
Same-sex attraction is never a man's identity.
Identity and anatomy are one. The Bible knows nothing of transgenderism.
Men may be called to marriage even if they don't desire it during a particular phase of life.
Even men called to singleness must allow God to change their ungodly desires.
"By the power of Christ's atoning cross and empty tomb, we must embrace our God-given manhood," Strachan said. "Manhood is not fundamentally defined by American culture or any culture … There are implications of it in any culture, and there are some wisdom issues in any culture." But "the core of manhood" is "God-defined and God-given."

Bill Burr Is Now A Meshuggah Fan
Posted By Mike on February 2, 2018. Under For The Laughs, Math Metal
There were so many friends at the show last night, it may as well have been my birthday, ha! Burr's first @meshuggahband show and he loved every second of it. After nearly 20 years of seeing this band live, I still have no idea how they do it.
A post shared by Dave Elitch (@daveelitch) on Jan 30, 2018 at 8:00am PST
ThePRP found this particular gem and we figured a few of you would be interested so here goes…
Comedian Bill Burr apparently loves Meshuggah now. He spoke in-depth about his experience seeing them live recently with his friend Dave Elitch (ex-The Mars Volta).
ThePRP transcribed what he had to say in his recent Podcast:
"I went with Dave [Elitch, ex-The Mars Volta, etc.]—my drum teacher—I went to Meshuggah, who I'd never seen live. I gotta tell ya it was a fucking life-altering experience. I can't remember the last time I saw a fucking band that blew my mind like that.
They are a heavy metal band—not a heavy metal—a metal band, from Sweden; who I've always heard of and I always tried to get into it, but the combination of the singer that 'rawr rawr rawr rawr'-singing like that… I'm already an angry enough guy. I'm like Jesus Christ am I really going to have this on my fucking hard drive?
And then like the music was so complex, I didn't know what was going on. I didn't like so many of the songs, like the drummer's basically playing like a polyrhythm. It's like his body's playing two different songs. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
But as far as I can tell, it seemed like on top he'd be playing in like 4. And then his feet, I don't know what, they're playing like a completely different song. And then the band is playing the rhythm to his feet but the crowd is nodding to what the fuck he's doing with his hands.
So everybody's grooving with this shit. It's like I dunno, do you want to check out a fucking unbelievable song? They got this song "Bleed". And on top he's playing like 8th notes with the backbeat on 3.
So everybody's head is moving to that, like 'gah gah gah gah…'—I can't even do it, right. But underneath his feet are going like 'burta burta burta burta burta burta…' the whole fucking song basically.
On top he's like [mimics hi-hat, snare, etc. sounds] and underneath 'urta urta urta urta…'. It's like you're going insane. You know, I always felt like if you ever heard voices, like that's the music version of that song. Like up top would be somebody talking to ya, going like 'Hey ya wanna go to the mall, maybe, I heard they opened like a new fucking Starbucks, blah blah, blah' and underneath there's demons going 'dah di, dah di, dah di, dah di…'
It's like a seven minute song. I've never fucking seen… And they played it live and it sounded as good as what they played on the record. And then the whole fucking night you never saw their faces.
It was just these fucking strobe lights going at you, lined up with the bass drum. So everybody's fucking nodding to the beat like [mimics bass drum] and the lights are like [mimics song groove] in your fucking face.
I never thought I'd be into some shit like that. I can't say enough how fucking unbelievable that band is. And you're doing yourself a disservice as a human being if you never see them live. It was fucking unbelievable.
And the amount of famous drummers that I saw standing there, just fucking geeking out, big smiles on their faces, shaking their head, ya know? Reaffirming to me as just a casual fan of music that yes, what I am hearing is that unbelievable. It's so unbelievable that drummers that I'm blown away by are blown away by this shit.
For the rest of my life as long as those guys play, when they come to town, I'm definitely going to go see 'em."
You can check out the podcast itself here along with… of course… Meshuggah's Bleed!

August's Bakery Box featured an assortment of products with the theme of Dipped and Drizzled. So from the beginning of trying to figure out exactly which scents and products we'd feature, we thought of so many varieties of snacks and desserts that essentially can be dipped or drizzled. After all, you can legitimately put Fudge or Caramel on anything these days. We narrowed our favorites down to Cupcake Soaps with Chocolate on top, Chocolate-dipped Pretzels, Caramel Apple roller fragrance, Ice Cream Sundae Body Butter with fudge on top, Chocolate Almond Body Mist, Chocolate Caramel Sweet Mini Melts and Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Soap with Bath Whip.
Every box gets an edible dipped or drizzled pretzel snack! Assorted variety varies in each box of Milk Chocolate, Butterscotch and White Chocolate.
Ugh! I'm so glad I came across your company. Your products are remarkable! Loyal customer for life. This is one monthly purchase I do not mind making at all (BakeryBox). Thanks for boosting confidence of women nationwide!


Bill Carrothers was born in Minneapolis in 1964. His musical training began at the age of five with lessons given to him by his church organist. He briefly left the piano at age 11 to pursue every boy's dream of becoming a great right-handed pitcher. At the age of 14 (having decided he could never be another Nolan Ryan) he began studying with local pianist Bobby Peterson and at the age of 15 he played his first gig. In 1982 he enrolled at North Texas State University in Denton, Texas on a music scholarship. He left a year later in order to pursue greener pastures.
In 1986 Bill made a quintet recording, "The Artful Dodger", with local Minneapolis musicians Anton Denner, alto saxophone, and Bill Stewart, percussion, that was regarded highly by many national publications. During these years he had the fortunate opportunity of playing with Dewey Redman, James Moody, Charlie Rouse, Eric Gravatt, James Spaulding, Benny Wallace, Buddy DeFranco, Ira Sullivan, Curtis Fuller, Billy Higgins, Prince, and Bobby Rivkin.
In 1988, Bill moved to New York City to further his musical studies. During his tenure in New York he made three recordings, one with Gary Peacock and Bill Stewart, another with Bill Stewart and saxophonist Anton Denner, and a duo recording with two saxophone players, Anton Denner and John McKenna. Mr. Carrothers also played a week at the Village Gate with his trio and appeared at Birdland and Visiones in addition to playing numerous engagements at the Knitting Factory. He also appeared for a week at Condon's with Buddy DeFranco and Joe Beck and toured with Matt "Guitar" Murphy for over a year.
Mr. Carrothers has recorded as a sideman with drummer Bill Stewart on two recordings, "Snide Remarks" with Joe Lovano, Eddie Henderson, and Larry Grenadier (August of 1995), and "Telepathy", featuring Larry Grenadier, Seamus Blake and Steve Wilson, both on the Blue Note label. Bill currently records for Birdology Records, distributed by Warner Brothers.


South African rapper Stilo Magolide comes through with a brand new song called Sefelosha.
The record is rich with elements of soul trap and a southern boom-bap that sees Stilo ride the beat with eloquence that only he can. While the featured guest, newcomer Truhitz belts out a performance of a seasoned "Hook Killer".

This "meeting will address the increasingly difficult security situation in Sri Lanka and the need to strengthen respect for the Ceasefire Agreement," states a press release issued by the Norwegian government.
The Sri Lankan government has agreed to the proposed Airport venue. The LTTE is yet to make an announcement.
Initially, the LTTE wanted the talks to be held in Oslo, but the Sri Lankan government rejected this proposal. It insisted on talks being held in Sri Lanka. LTTE then proposed Killinochchi as the venue. This was also rejected by the government which insisted on neutral territory.


A trio of teenagers, Meg, Plug, and Buss, reside somewhere on the United States East Coast and fashion themselves as freedom fighters. Hackers refer to them as Tech Thieves. They claim to want to free information and technology for all but in reality, they scavenge technology where they can find or steal and strip it down for their own use. Meg acts as the group's leader. When the NSA first began to pursue Zeta, they found the signal and followed Zeta and later, Ro's exploits on the Internet since the first federal warrant was issued. Buss, in particular, developed an obsession with Ro Rowan and even created a replica taser rod from an appearance in Detroit.
The opportunity for them to meet the duo finally came. During an NSA pursuit, the trio disabled the hovercraft, disabled Bucky Buenventura's transmission, and offered Zeta and Ro asylum. They quickly admitted offered to help them escape once and for all in exchange for being allowed to study Zeta. While Buss distracted Ro, Meg and Plug proceeded to dismantle Zeta. They both fled with one of the gang's hoverbikes but it ran out of fuel. Buss saved Ro and revealed his location out of guilt.

The Absolutely Last-Minute Drugstore Gift Guide
Jessica Coen
If you need this gift guide right now, you're probably fucked. Begin your journey having already accepted this fact, and the process will be easier. You are not going to find a good present, not for anyone, not now, and especially not after midnight. And after that point, you have but one steadfast friend with open doors to help you meet your festive obligations, and that is the drugstore. If you can find a Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid — all of which are open on Christmas Day — you're going to be fine. And no matter how tiny the store, these chains contain gift solutions that aren't totally heinous so long as you manage expectations: At this late hour, you're not going for the gift-giving gold — you're just trying to finish the race.

It seems overly simple, but your mom will probably love it (as she would anything you gave her, but unlike that sticky macaroni necklace you gave her 20 years ago, she'd actually use this gift). Not just any ol' candle will do; stay away from tea lights and small votives, as they instantly betray how cheap and thoughtless you are to have waited until 11:59 PM on Christmas eve to buy gifts. Instead, go for a candle in some sort of glass jar. The big ones last forever; you can subtly overcompensate with a triple wick if you're so inclined. But stay away from the Glade, Febreeze, or any other kind of air-freshener candles — you might as well be telling the recipient their house smells like feet.
Essential Elements 3-Wick Candle, $9.99 at CVS.
Drugstores tend to have at least half an aisle devoted to toys; if you have to buy a gift for a kid, you know what to do here. But if you're shopping for an adult, there are still solutions — you can usually find card and board games that would appeal to any adult, or at least any adult in a co-habitational relationship that involves game nights with that couple from apartment 3B. It also works for any adult who appreciates fun nostalgia. Get a bunch of card games and throw them in a single box, and you've got a "gift set." Or grab some checkers or Monopoly. Do they still make Candyland? I'd be totally happy to get that from someone, even though I would never think to ask for it. Oh, and don't forget the power of an Etch-a-Sketch. You never get too old for that.
UNO Card Game, $9.29 at CVS.
The DIY Gift Box
Take any assortment of crap, throw it in a box with some tissue paper and a bow, give it some sort of "theme," and you've got a faux-thoughtful, multi-faceted present! One idea, which I am totally ripping off from my mom (if you're reading, hi!), is a "staying in for the night" gift pack. Grab a box of instant popcorn, a few bottles of nail polish, and some cheap DVDs. And don't really worry about what the DVDs are, per se — even if CVS had non-shitty DVDs for sale, your giftee probably wouldn't watch them anyhow. Everybody's using Netflix streaming these days, so you might as well get them something intentionally stupid for a laugh. If you're in a state where you can buy beer at the drugstore, I recommend throwing that in there too.
Stocking stuffers, gift boxes, holiday bags of Hershey's Kisses, even some Werthers for Grandpa — there are so many possibilities here! Is a box of Russell Stover chocolates or a Lindt bar a dead giveaway that Santa went to Walgreens? Yes. Will the recipient still eat it? Yes.
Russell Stover Assorted Fine Chocolates, $8.99 at Walgreens.
"Better" Brand Beauty, Bath, and Body Products
A lot of drugstores have started carrying personal products that go beyond the expected drugstore fare. Often you can find Burt's Bees, Yes to Carrots, Paul Mitchell, Essie — all brands that five years ago you'd never find at a Walgreens, but certainly can now. Even my incredibly run-down neighborhood Rite Aid occasionally has magic bottles of Bumble & Bumble (usually discontinued products, but still perfectly good). You never know what you might find. Just get something that has the illusion of being special or better — simply because it's on display at the front of the store or something — that's not Nivea, Neutrogena, Dove, St. Ives, etc. But no matter what you buy, it all comes down to the packaging, really. If it doesn't look like a brand you see every time you pick up your fluoxetine, you're good.
Yes To Carrots Super Rich Nourishing Body Butter, $12.99 at Walgreens.
A Personal Massager
If it's for an achy, athletic, or aging dude, it's some pleasant relief. If it's for a lady, it's an orgasm.
Conair Heated Body-Flex Massager, $17.99 at Rite Aid.
Charity by Smartphone
I was in the car and driving home on Christmas day last year when I realized that oh, shit, I forgot to get two relatives their little stocking stuffers. Unfortunately, the particular stretch of road on which I found myself might as well have been littered with tumbleweeds — there wasn't a CVS or Walgreens or anything around for miles, and I wasn't going to be able to make an emergency gift stop before I got home. But thank god for Steve Jobs and whatever party is responsible for making online donation pages so easily accessible with a mobile browser; within a matter of minutes I'd made two contributions to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in each individual's name. Ideally, I would've been able to print something out and put it in a card for them, but whatever. I still got to wear my smug do-gooder face when I pulled them aside to quietly tell them that they wouldn't be opening a gift from me because I donated $20 apiece in their name to the You Don't Get An Actual Present Because All That Is Meaningless Anyhow foundation. Sainthood by the seat of your pants!
Charitable gifts, all prices — go here for some ideas.

Refused to be victim of a hate crime.
« America's Black Urban Culture.
Four Hispanic males, members of the notorious MS-13 drug gang, were drunk and hunting for a white man to attack. They set their sites on Norman Borden, but he refused to be a victim.
As we reported earlier, he was held in jail for eight months, his four dogs were euthanized, and Hispanic gang members burned his house down. Read more about the facts of the case.

EPL: I miss Premier League – Pochettino speaks on returning to coach another club
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has admitted that he misses the English Premier League (EPL).
Pochettino, a former Paris Saint-Germain manager, also said that he is open to coming back to England to coach another club in the near future.
The Argentine was recently considered by Chelsea, but the Blues were concerned over his ability to compete at the highest level before they decided to appoint Graham Potter.
Pochettino was also snubbed by Manchester United, who ended up appointing Erik ten Hag from Ajax as their new head coach instead.
He was then linked with Aston Villa before the arrival of former Arsenal manager Unai Emery from Villarreal.
"I miss the Premier League," Pochettino told talkSPORT.
"Why not [return], we are open! I am really open. I love England and I am living between London and Barcelona, but more in London.
"My house, my home… I love to be in England. The Premier League is the best league in the world. It's so competitive."

The birthday party invitation sits on the kitchen counter.
Come to my house for Fun and Games!
I don't take the invitation for granted. In and of itself, it stands as a triumph of sorts.
I remember when the invitations didn't come.
But so too, it taunts me.
At the birthday girl's house.
Fun and Games may be the latter, but they're almost never the former for my kid.
Check your insecurities at the door!
Bring Support, Facilitation and Patience galore!
Luau asks me the question over dinner.
I'm quiet. I'm not sure what to say.
She's already RSVP'd. She's excited to go.
The only question is which of us will take her.
What I want is not what I want to want.
"I want to want to take her," I say.
"I want to not be worried about it.
I stare into my plate.
I know that if I look up I'll have to acknowledge the toxic cloud of shame that I've created with my words.
I've just told my husband that I'm afraid to take my child to a birthday party.
And I know that he does.
He leaves it in my hands.
We don't make a decision.
I get it totally, too! You know I do. Brooke will handle it and she'll be Brooke. You will handle it, too in what ever way you have to. She wants to go and she was invited. That's huge.
Your not the only one that had that exact same reaction to birthday party invites. I'm both upset and relieved when the invitations do not come home. The few that actually do we do go but I'm so nervous about. This year tho not a single invitation came home, not a single offer or respond to a request for a play date. I can't wait for this school year to end!
I get it, as many of us do. I don't take my son to the parties (or soccer for that matter). My husband does. I seem to be a trigger…either because my anxieties make my kid more anxious (thereby ramping up his behavior issues) or I am a safe zone so he knows he can meltdown with me. Whatever the reason, we've decided to keep me out of the party loop. Which is fine. But it isn't.
But that she wants to go? That is huge. No matter who takes her, that's still huge.
It's not about shame, it's about self-preservation. Being front and center to witness the differences in a purely social setting is HARD. What is taken for granted at home is instantly and obviously in your face at social events and it breaks you, it just does, a little bit every time. There is no shame in a life well lived, and certainly not for you. Whatever you decide, it will be the right thing for you and for her.
A lot of us feel like that,don't feel ashamed! It has been next to impossible to predict how my boy will react at unfamiliar or public places these last few months.
I hope Brooke surprises you the way my sweetie surprised me.
There's no shame in your reaction. I'm pretty sure we've ALL been there. As many of others have said, the invitation is progress. The fact that she wants to go? MAJOR progress. I remember dreading the few parties our son was invited to so much. And being so happy the first time he ate a cupcake that … Because it meant he wouldn't stand out quite so much at parties. Hang in there. No matter what you decide you will manage to find the positives that come from this.
This is why my husband takes my son to baseball and I don't. It takes a lot of mental energy just to deal with the day to day – the therapy, the school, language, social skills, teaching independence. I want him to learn and have fun but it hurts to watch sometimes. The contrast between him and his peers is right there staring me in the face at baseball. When I do go, I remind myself that we're a family outside the box. Our goals are different, our successes too. Helps a little. But not, 100%. I guess I just want to say it's normal for all of us to feel this.
At least she's not threatening to ruin it, as my son does. He says he'll smash the cake, take the presents, and generally "wreck ev-ry-THINNNNGGG!" Ahem. So. Do I fault you for your feelings? Not one iota my dear.
I totally get your fear! I am happy, but also terrified every time either of my kids gets invited to a party ( my 5 yr old has a peanut allergy and my 3 yr old is on the spectrum). I took them both to their first friend birthday by myself, an hour from our house. I was pleasantly surprised! Besides a little expected stimming, my son did great and seemed to really enjoy himself. I ran around like a crazy woman to redirect him and facilitate social interactions but he DID it, and I was never so proud! All the stress was worth it to see him say hi, and say his friends name! (he is nonverbal ). Is every excursion a good one? No way! But we never know until we try, and I feel I owe it to him to give him the opportunity to succeed. Every little victory is so big for him and us. He surprises me all the time! And if it doesn't work out- at least they know you are there to work through it.
I get it, too. I take my son to the parties…the few that he's been invited to, anyway. I'm always prepping for the worst, but hoping for the best. The last 2 times I was pleasantly surprised. I hope you are, too.
if your gut says "don't go" then give her options: the birthday party, or some other activity at the same..something that could function as a nice treat that she would enjoy. if she chooses the birthday party over that, then it's okay, but if she would rather try the other activity, might work out nicely. good luck with this, i know it's an agonizing choice.
Hey Jess…we're not there yet. I could say be thankful for Brooke being invited….but that doesn't take the sting away. I know what you're facing. I feel it every time we go to the park, or anywhere where there are typical kids. The worry never ends. The hurt doesn't either. But remember when her going wasn't even an option?
The invitation alone sent shivers down my spine. I knew where you were going before you said it, because I've been there (and continue to be) countless times.
And yes, that she wants to go? Huge.
Oh, and, um, I am really proud of myself that I never used the words dread, anxiety attack, or totallyl negative anticipation in my post.
I feel shame for the birthday parties we did not got to which I never told my boy about – I knew he would want to go and I knew it would be very difficult. I could not face it at the time…..
As you can see, so many of us have been there! I have viewed the (somewhat limited) invitations my son has received with joy mixed with a bit of dread…and most of the dread feels very self-centered, because it involves how I will feel seeing my son interact or not interact with his peers. I think we all work hard to choose not to compare our kids to typical children, and opportunities like this provide also the unwelcome opportunity to slip into "pity party land." You are SO not alone. I've been there!
I get it too. This exact conversation has taken place at our kitchen table. Shame & guilt -check.
If you decide to go, you will not break. Each of us has a stake in you. Draw on it. Breathe it in.
You are strong on your own…..unbreakable with your community supporting you.
I feel shame for all the parties I just ignore and do not tell him about. I am the one that can not handle the anxiety of what might happen. I need my son's strength.
Congrats to Brooke! This is HUGE, I mean, she WANTS to go.. 🙂 She will be fine with whoever takes her, and sometimes it's just ok to say it's ok to let L take her. I know they say social clues aren't strong points, but they pick up more than we think. If you are anxious she will get it, it will make her anxious. It's ok to say no, especially since L can take her. So, no guilt allowed.
Like most here we dont get many party invites and the few we(he) do get are to friends of the family. But I can honestly say I never feel more alone than I do at a childs party.

Since your bcf is working in APEWorker, than I would look to the differences between the 2 pipelines. I'd be interested to hear what PTC says about this.
I confirm that bursting is not applied when performing a SIS publising, because payload contents are built on Windchill side, and are not retrieved by APE like for a PE publishing.
I you want "up to date" WC metadata property values to be applied for your publication, you should configure publication to embed them in the manifest. Then a compositionframeworkhook on APE side may read this information from the manifest and use it.

We used Alpacka Llama (Large model). They had a cruiser deck option and specced w the 'cargo fly'. These boats are a superb design, fast, stable and easy to paddle. The cruiser deck was a little cumbersome pushing the buoyancy vest up around your neck but kept most of the water out, we also had 2 boats w the self-bailing floor which is superior in white water.
Accent - Collapsible paddles - The Accent 4 piece breakdown paddles we used were a touring paddle but they fitted the bill nicely. 210 cm length required for packrafts, tick. Strong durable blades, tick. Very light, tick. Deane used an Accent white water 4 piece slightly bigger blade, touch stronger and a unique and funky joining system.
Astral Brewer river shoe - The requirement for an ultra lightweight river shoe was filled when Chris from Kayak HQ suggested the Astral Brewer. Incredibly light, self-draining. I found them best with bare feet but if you want to wear socks go for it.
Astral buoyancy - YTV PFD / Astral bouyancy aids are by far some of the most engineered river gear ever created and the YTV is no exception. Minimal but snug fitting, heaps of buoyancy, and 2 compact pockets make this garment a good choice for packrafting due to its compact size.
Marmot - Quasar Jacket - It was fantastic to have the use of the Quasar jacket as it's super light and weight was critical on this trip. If the weather had really turned on us and we'd had cold days on the river, wearing this at the end of day would have been essential. I also used this jacket to boost my meagre excuse for a sleeping bag!
Marmot Pack Aquifer 24 - Once I aligned the mouldable shank with my back along the inside of the pack, it was a comfortable fit. Nice and light with a single sack as the main compartment and enough space in the lid pocket for more accessible items. The exterior pockets were extremely useful, perhaps the front exterior pocket could use the same stretchy material as the side exterior pockets to allow the user to stuff more items in easily. Side compression straps helped with making pack more streamlined with small loads.
Marmot Super Mica Jacket - Muel and I used the Super Mica Jacket. We needed an extremely lightweight waterproof shell to wear both on the bike and in the packrafts. The Super Mica performed extremely well in both pursuits.

Freshman Tucker Trumbo led JBU with 18 points followed by senior Andy Garcia with 16. Senior Thomas Galliguez finished the evening with six assists followed by junior EJ McWoods with five. Freshman Max Hopfgartner had five total rebounds for the game.
Ecclesia also had two players finish with double digits in points led by Harold Reed with 14 and David Eichler with 11. Jason Holmstrom led the Royals in rebounds with six.
JBU started the game slow, but picked up the pace with a 12-0 run starting at the 10:33 mark with a field goal by senior Adrian Miller. JBU held up to eventually take a 27 point lead with 4:33 left in the first half, but finished 48-28 going into the half.
In the second half, JBU maintained a large lead. Freshman Joseph Pelegreen scored a field goal at the 1:59 mark to bring JBU to its highest lead of 35 points. A minute later, junior Samuel Johnson was fouled and scored the final two points of the game in free throws, ending the game at 88-51.

There's no one harder to buy presents for than the parents of the girl you're dating. First off, you've probably have only met them a handful of times, and you aren't sure about their tastes, desires, or needs. Secondly, this is a group of people you really need to impress if you want to keep dating your girlfriend and make family visits run smoothly from now on (or at least till next Christmas). Needless to say, the pressure is on.
The best gift for your potential future in-laws has to be just right— memorable but not too wacky; thoughtful but not over-the-top; cute but not weird. It's a delicate balance. A Yankee Candle from your local drugstore really won't do the trick.
Instead of more anonymous stuff, we recommend gifting your girl's mom and dad an experience, like a cooking class or tickets to a show. Spending time together is more important than filling up their basements for most parents anyway. Bonus points if you buy a ticket for their daughter, too.
If the girl you love's parents are homebodies, another way to make a gift memorable is to customize it, like with monograms. Or, think of things they would never get themselves but may want—like a pricey dog bed for the family poodle. Once your girl moved out, the dog probably became their center of attention anyway.
In the past, we had your back with ideas from our gift guides for your most creative friends, the fashionable men in your life, and all the sneakerheads on your shopping list. This year you might be totally at loss for what to get for your girl's parents, and luckily we've got you covered there, too.

The Bard meets the Backstreet Boys in Pop Sonnets, a collection of 100 classic pop songs re-imagined as Shakespearean sonnets. All of your favorite artists are represented in these pages--from Bon Jovi and Green Day to Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, and beyond. Already a smash sensation on the Internet--the Tumblr page has 50,000+ followers--Pop Sonnets has been featured by the A.V. Club, BuzzFeed, andVanity Fair, among many others. More than half of these pop sonnets are exclusive to this collection and have never been published in any form.
I love Shakespeare, and when you mash it up with pop music, it makes for some enthralling reading.
I can't believe how much I loved this collection though. My favorite sonnet was a Bruno Mars adaption of Just The Way You Are. It was beautiful. I read it aloud to the hubby and he even agreed. When I read the adaption of Red Hot Chili Peppers song, Under The Bridge, I felt the melancholy so much deeper. It was beautiful. When I read the adaption of The Animals House of the Rising Sun, it felt more dark and powerful. It was beautiful.
I couldn't see why anyone wouldn't enjoy this ditty. It's quite a unique spin on already fantastic lines.
I have a couple of musically inclined friends who would find this a lot of fun!

A unique feature of Woodlesford station for the first century of its life was its proximity to a number of large country houses belonging to the landed gentry and local elite. Within a couple of miles there were no less than six of them including Eshald House – Bentley; Oulton Hall – Calverley/Blayds; Methley Hall – Savile and Sir Titus Salt; Swillington House – Lowther; Leventhorpe Hall; Temple Newsam – Ingram.
All of them at one time or another would have used the railway for their own travels and that of their VIP visitors, including members of the Royal Family. Right up until the Second World War horse drawn carriages, or landaus, with liveried coachmen were seen passing through on their way to the station.
The station may also have been deliberately sited for the convenience of the landowners close to the only nearby crossing of the River Aire at Swillington Bridge. The "toffs" were even supplied with a ramp at the end of the Down platform so their carriages could easily be loaded onto wagons to be attached to passenger trains.
If they were travelling to London the wagons could be manouevred across the main line using a track which was at 90 degrees to it with turntables at either end. The Midland Railway had special carriage trucks which were designed to run in passenger trains. They could be either open flat bed wagons or closed in. The last ones were delivered in 1920. Stations that could accept these carriages were indicated in the timetables and the Railway Clearing House list of stations. Woodlesford could accept them in both freight and passenger trains.
Some of the stonework for the ramp and around the turntables survives today although most of it was destroyed when a new footbridge was built by contractors for Network Rail in 2010. The linking track would have been roughly along the alignment of the old foot crossing as shown on the plan below.
A plan of the original track layout at Woodlesford showing the station building and wagon turntables.
One occasion featuring the local gentry at the station was recorded in the Rothwell and Methley Free Press in 1901. It was the triumphant return from the Boer War of Sir Charles Lowther, the 4th Baronet of Swillington. After serving for just over a year with his regiment, the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars under the command of General French at Capetown in South Africa, Sir Charles had been invalided home suffering from the after effects of enteric fever.
He arrived at Southampton on a hospital ship, the Dunera, just after Easter on the morning of Tuesday 9 April 1901 and immediately set off by train for Woodlesford, arriving in the evening.
According to Midland Railway historian Peter Witts, it's possible he travelled in a through carriage all the way from Southampton Town and Dock station to Woodlesford. He could have gone via London Waterloo with a choice of express trains to Leeds from St Pancras or Kings Cross but he would have had to cross the capital in a cab with his luggage so it's more than likely that he chose not to change.
A check on Bradshaw's General Railway and Steam Navigation Guide for 1901 shows the most likely service was the Midland and South Western Junction Railway's 10.10 am train from Southampton. It ran over the London and South Western to Andover, then the Midland and South Western Junction's own line via Swindon to Andoversford and then on the Great Western Railway to Cheltenham. There the through carriage was attached to an express from Bristol which ran on the Midland via Birmingham and Derby to Sheffield where the carriage was shunted onto another express which had run from St Pancras via Nottingham.
A word with the guard at Sheffield would have prompted a message to the driver who stopped the train specially at Woodlesford at about 7.20 pm.
Forewarned by a telegram home a large crowd had gathered on the platforms and in the station yard for the 20 year old captain's return. The Rothwell Temperance Band was there to play martial music to entertain them as they waited. As Sir Charles' train steamed into the station they struck up with "Auld Lang Syne."
The welcoming party included Sir Charles' mother and his sister Emma along with his uncle, Colonel Bingham. As he climbed into the waiting horse and trap "hats and sticks were waved and loud cheers were given. The bells of All Saints Church also rang out a merry peal."
In an address the Reverend A J Irvin said the inhabitants of Woodlesford and Swillington believed Captain Lowther had upheld the noble traditions of his family and there was cheering as he said they hoped he would recover his health and live long to serve the country as he had done in the past.
Sir Charles then drove in the horse and trap down Station Lane, turned left under the railway bridge, and went along Aberford Road past the brewery towards Swillington House which was on the other side of the River Aire. As he approached Swillington Bridge tenants and workers from the estate unhooked the horse and dragged the trap by hand up to the house.
The Free Press reported that a Union Jack "floated in the breeze" on top of the house and many friends welcomed Sir Charles "in a right royal manner." No doubt the large crowd of locals which had followed from the station were also rewarded with a few pints of Bentley's fine ales!
Sir Charles Lowther had been educated at Sandhurst and went on to serve in the First World War. He sold the house along with local collieries in 1920 and moved to Northamptonshire. He died in 1949. During the Second World War soldiers from Somerset were billeted at the house. One of them, Fred James, stayed on to become a porter at the station. The main part of the house was demolished in 1952.
If he were to make the same journey from Southampton today Captain Lowther could also travel via London where he would have to change three times, or via Birmingham with two changes. In both cases he would however beat the 1901 timing by three hours.

Where to eat during SXSW: Platinum picks
March 9, 2016 SXSW.
Wagyu beef with Carolina gold rice at Olamaie. (Rodolfo Gonzalez AMERICAN-STATESMAN)
Once again, it's South by Southwest time.
You've come for the tech. The music. The movies. The networking. The brand activations. The weather (hopefully). But while you're in Austin, don't forget we've got an impressive (and growing) dining scene for you to tackle, as well.
You can't spend all of your time at talks and screenings and shows. At some point you're going to have to eat. Don't be lured by free queso bars, passed appetizers and complimentary energy bars.
Take some time out and eat at one of the many restaurants and food trucks in Austin's core. Exploring the restaurant scene can be a great way to get a feel for a city and its culture, even if you do only have 30 minutes before you have to go see the presentation of the next world-changing app.
The restaurants listed here are all located relatively close to the main action at SXSW — just a short walk, bike ride or (inset preferred method of automotive transport here) away.
Some of these restaurants may have special events and private parties during SXSW, so it's wise to call ahead or check their website. And, while I always find SXSW a good time to slip into surprisingly uncrowded restaurants downtown, some of these spots will be impossible to get into. There's always July.
(Click here for my complete SXSW Dining Guide.)
(Head to Austin360.com/eats for my Top 25 restaurants in Austin from 2015.)
PLATINUM PICKS (Restaurants that made my Top 25 in 2015)
Bufalina. 1519 E. Cesar Chavez St. 512-524-2523, bufalinapizza.com. The best Neapolitan pizzas in the city and a great Italian wine list at this little East Austin restaurant make the wait worth it. Also try the hand-pulled mozzarella and charcuterie plate.
Clark's. 1200 W. Sixth St. 512-297-2525, clarksoysterbar.com. Raw bar, outdoor seating and a crisp aesthetic make this place a seaside trip in the middle of the city.
Dai Due. 2406 Manor Road. 512-524-0688, daidue.com. Part butcher shop, part all-day restaurant, Dai Due epitomizes the seasonal, farm-to-table attitude of Austin's ethos. Get the pork chop.
Jeffrey's. 1204 W. Lynn St. 512-477-5584, jeffreysofaustin.com. Arguably Austin's swankiest restaurant, the revamped Austin institution that feels plucked from Manhattan serves excellent dry-aged steaks and quality cocktails.
Launderette. 2115 Holly St. 512-382-1599, launderetteaustin.com. Chef Rene Ortiz's East Austin restaurant defies classification, with a menu that ranges from meatballs to crab toast and charred octopus. One of the best cheeseburgers in town.
Lenoir. 1807 S. First St. 512-215-9778, lenoirrestaurant.com. Chef-owner Todd Duplechan prepares what he calls "hot weather food," using local and seasonal ingredients to create flavors that echo hot weather locales like Southeast Asia, India and Africa. One of the city's best restaurants.
El Naranjo. 85 Rainey St. 512-474-2776, elnaranjo-restaurant.com. Chef/owner Iliana de la Vega brought her passion for mole from Oaxaca, and her bungalow on Rainey Street is the best Mexican restaurant in town. Start with the ceviche of the week.
Odd Duck. 1201 S. Lamar Blvd. 512-433-6521, oddduckaustin.com. Few restaurants in town have such a defined point of view and mission as this window-wrapped farm-to-table restaurant that serves thoughtful rustic food.
Olamaie. 1610 San Antonio St. 512-474-2796, olamaieaustin.com. Refined Southern cuisine in a sophisticated setting has earned this new restaurant recognition from the James Beard Foundation, Food & Wine Magazine and the top spot in my 2015 Dining Guide.
Qui. 1600 E. Sixth St. 512-436-9626, quiaustin.com. The prix fixe menu at Paul Qui's eponymous restaurant delivers flavors from the Philippines, Japan, Spain and more. Bonus points: Wonderful cocktails and exceptional service. Good luck snagging a table during SXSW (several special events are being held there).
Second Bar + Kitchen. 200 Congress Ave. 512-827-2750, congressaustin.com/second. New American on Congress Avenue puts you right in the middle of downtown, and the patio is great for dining and people-watching. They do a little bit of everything (Asian-inspired noodles to pizza), and they do it well.
Sway. 1417 S. First St. 512-326-1999, swayaustin.com. Sexy and thrumming with noise and energy, this South Austin spot serves Australian-inspired Thai, with a menu that includes blue crab fried rice, son-in-law, jungle curry and salt-and-pepper shrimp.
Swift's Attic. 315 Congress Ave. 512-482-8842, swiftsattic.com. This gastroclub features a menu dotted with Asian inspiration, from Korean barbecue flank steak to quail with boy choy.
