2021 Mazda 3 Sedan Test Drive Review: Premium Sedan At A Compact Price
by Ian Wright
We always knew the Mazda 3 had good bones. The problem is, Mazda shot itself in the foot by offering a car with decent dynamics but no engine to go along with it. The 186-horsepower naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter engine is refined, but it always felt as if it could do with a bit... more. That's why 2021 sees the introduction of a turbocharged version of the same motor, generating 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque, but also a new base motor with only 155 hp. The six-speed automatic gearbox is the same, and the 3 Sedan can still be had with either FWD or AWD, it's now just got more fire to back up the excellent chassis we've always loved. Competing in the compact sedan segment, rivals include the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Volkswagen Jetta, but with sleek looks, great handling dynamics, a premium interior, and now, turbo power to go with it, Mazda might have earned itself the top spot in the segment. To see if these virtues are enough to catapult it into stardom, Mazda sent us a turbo variant for a week-long test drive. And it didn't disappoint.

2021 Mazda 3 Sedan Changes: 🚙What's the difference vs 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan?
Mazda made some minor tweaks to the various trims, including a slight renaming, but it all has to do with the biggest changes to the lineup - two new engines that diversify the range in comparison to previous years. A 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder powers the base sedan with 155 hp, while a 250-hp 2.5-liter turbo is finally available in the two high-end models, paired exclusively with AWD. A few features have been shuffled around to accommodate the new trim designations, with the mid-level Preferred losing out on navigation and a 12-speaker Bose sound system but gaining a power sunroof.

Mazda 3 Sedan Exterior
Mazda's design language is known as "Kodo: Soul of Motion." It's a nice piece of marketing jargon, which loosely translates to swoopy minimalism. But in all seriousness, Mazda's designers keep on giving other manufacturers a proper hiding when it comes to design. Take the Honda Civic sedan as an example. A lot is going on there, and for what reason? In sweeps Mazda with a minimalist exterior, simply using basic curves in all the right places to make even the base model look good.
All trims get automatic LED headlights, DRLs, and combination taillights, but from the Premium onward, these become signature-styled items. The lower-end models have a matte-finish grille which becomes gloss black from the Preferred onwards along with gloss black lower bumper garnish and a power-sliding moonroof. Premium models onwards gain a sharkfin antenna, and the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus gets a black lip spoiler on the trunk lid. Wheels measure 16 inches on the 2.0 and 2.5S while everything else gets 18-inch alloys. Some trims get model-specific finishes to these, like black on the turbo models and a polished look on the Premium.

The Mazda 3 sedan shares most of its dimensions with the hatch with one key difference. At 183.5 inches long, it's 7.9 inches longer. The wheelbase is 107.3 inches, and it measures 70.7 inches in width. At 56.9 inches high, it stands a little shorter than most non-performance sedans. Mazda's new entry-level 2.0 Sedan with FWD is the lightest of the bunch, with a curb weight of just 2,984 lbs, but as you add equipment, the turbocharged engine, and all-wheel drive, the weight reaches a maximum of 3,379 lbs.
Wheelbase 107.3 in
Max Width 70.7 in
Front Width 61.7 in
Rear Width 62.2 in
Curb Weight 3,071.0 lbs
Mazda's color palette is just as minimalist as its exterior styling. There are only six colors to choose from, but all of them work beautifully with the design. Only Jet Black Mica and Sonic Silver Metallic are available on the base model, and both are at no charge. Deep Crystal Blue Mica is also a no-cost option, but only available on the 2.5 S, Select, Preferred, and Premium models. Snowflake White Pearl Mica is a $395 option and available on all models except the base 2.0 while Machine Gray Metallic costs $495 and is only available to the Select trim and above. The same goes for Mazda's famous Soul Red Crystal Metallic, which costs $595. The Select is the only variant to have access to the full palette, with upper trims getting pared-back palettes. Mazda could've made it simple and just sold every car in Soul Red though - it's stunning to look at, but the various grays also do a stellar job of accentuating the design language.

Mazda 3 Sedan Performance
Last year we described the Mazda's performance as not being at the top of the class, primarily due to the lack of any other option than the 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine. It's still available this year and produces 186 hp and a matching amount of torque, but Mazda has added two new power plants to the offering. The new base model is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder, while the big news is the introduction of a 2.5-liter turbocharged mule delivering 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque - the same engine we've lauded in the CX-5 and CX-9 before. These figures are a massive increase over the old non-turbo 2.5, but we're a little disappointed that you can't have this mill, or any of them, actually, with a manual gearbox. There's solace to be had, though, as the Mazda 3 is one of the very few sedans in this segment that can be paired with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The turbocharged engine doesn't make the Mazda 3 a performance sedan though. It's not an outright rival to the VW Jetta GLI and Honda Civic Si, with a more laid back driving experience that we'd consider to be 'luxury with power' instead of 'boy racer'. That doesn't mean it isn't fun to drive, and it doesn't mean it isn't quick. The new turbo motor is capable of dispatching the 0 to 60 mph sprint in as little as 5.5 seconds in independent testing thanks to standard AWD, which is a significant improvement over the seven-second dash of the standard 2.5L models. The base 2.0-liter will be the slowest, and we expect closer to nine seconds when we test it. All models are electronically limited to a top speed of 130 mph.
Now that there are three engine options available, the Mazda 3 is more of a multi-purpose tool. The base 2.0-liter only produces 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of torque, but it is the most efficient in the line-up. It's only available in front-wheel drive and is locked into the base trim only.
Now that the turbo provides performance, the naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter fills more of an all-rounder role in the mid-spec models (2.5 S, Select, Preferred, and Premium). With 186 hp and 186 lb-ft, it provides a nice blend of semi-brisk performance and good fuel economy. The engine even sounds alright, although it can be a little coarse when wrung out.
The new turbocharged model is only available in AWD format. It develops up to 250 hp and 310 lb-ft, but you can feed it regular gasoline and make do with 227 hp and 310 lb-ft. It's still not a genuine performance motor, and it loathes being wrung out. There's a steep drop-off after 5,000 rpm, and the six-speed auto is insistent on shifting well below redline to ride the wave of torque down low.
All models in the range use Mazda's six-speed automatic transmission. It's quick and smooth, but the game has moved on a bit and in manual mode, it requires a little preemptive shifting. Leave it to its own devices, though, and it works well with either of the larger engines.

Handling and Driving Impressions
Sadly, Mazda doesn't do dedicated sporty models anymore. The MX-5 is the only glimmer of hope as we think back nostalgically to the MazdaSpeed 3 and MazdaSpeed 6. The thing is, were they great cars? The MS6, with its advanced AWD system and six-speed manual 'box, was, and still is, fantastic, but we're not entirely convinced that the MS3 was ever truly spectacular - it just had a ton of torque steer and made some nice noises.
Modern Mazda's are more mature, and all the better for it. Instead of fitting a car with a rock-hard suspension and too much power for the front wheels to cope with, Mazda focused on steering response and a balanced suspension setup.
The result is the Mazda 3 is a car that flows down the road beautifully and confidently. It stops short of being razor sharp like the Civic SI and VW Jetta GLI, but we don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Not everyone wants something overly firm, and there's a definite market for luxurious cruisers with a turn of pace a-la BMW. These are the buyers Mazda's targeting. Don't get us wrong there's still some fun tuned into the chassis, but the baby won't be bounced awake every time you drive over a pebble. The steering responds well, but it's typical of modern electronic setups in that it doesn't drip with feedback.
The only thing slowing the Mazda 3 Turbo down is the transmission. It's slow to shift compared with how willing and able the engine is, and to get the best out of it, you need to shift manually using the paddles. The transmission is the right one for the car, but not the engine if you're expecting to drive a MazdaSpeed 3 without the badging. A manual transmission would bridge that gap somewhat, but we do feel a proper Mazdaspeed version would be the perfect range topper.
Mazda 3 Sedan Gas Mileage
The entry-level 2.0-liter is the most economical of all configurations. According to the EPA's gas mileage figures, the 2.0 will manage 28/36/31 mpg city/highway/combined. The naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter is rated at 26/35/30 mpg in FWD form, which isn't that far behind, while adding AWD results in 25/33/28 mpg. The turbo's fuel consumption isn't half bad, coming in at 23/32/27 mpg, and we landed on an indicated 25 mpg combined after a week's driving.
FWD models get a 13.2-gallon gas tank, resulting in a best range estimate of 409 miles in mixed condition for the FWD 2.0. AWD models, however, get a smaller 12.7-gallon tank, and in the worst-case scenario, the 2.5T AWD will only manage around 342 miles to a tank and requires premium gas to get the full allotment of power and torque.
City/Hwy: 28/36 mpg

Mazda 3 Sedan Interior
If anything, the interior is even more appealing than the exterior, and for the same reasons. Mazda managed to find that perfect balance between the ultimate expression of minimalism while still retaining easy access to the features the driver and passengers use the most. The material quality is sublime and Mazda's current line-up continues to give the premium German trio and their exorbitant prices something to think about. The seats are comfortable across the range and clad in perforated leather on high-spec models, and visibility in the sedan is better than the hatch thanks to a more conventionally shaped C-pillar.
Standard spec is generous across the line-up, with all models getting air conditioning (dual-zone climate control higher up), remote keyless entry with push-button start, and an 8.8-inch center display.

Seating and Interior Space
The Mazda 3 Sedan seats 5 occupants, but it isn't the most spacious in the segment. Front passengers get 42.3 inches of legroom and 38 inches of headroom. Rear passengers are a bit more cramped with 35.1 inches of legroom and 37.2 inches of headroom. Models fitted with a sunroof decrease the headroom to 37.6 and 36.7 inches, respectively. While there is enough space for four average adults to get comfortable in the back, six-footers will struggle with the rear legroom. Both the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla provide more space, which means the Mazda 3 is slightly below par in this segment.
Front Leg Room 42.3 in
Front Head Room 38.0 in
Rear Leg Room 35.1 in
Rear Head Room 37.3 in
Interior Colors and Materials
The type of materials may vary, but the quality doesn't - it's all exceptional no matter which trim you look at. The base 2.0 and 2.5 S come standard with black cloth sport seats. Black leatherette is standard on Select and Preferred trim, but the latter also has access to a new color called Greige. The 2.5 Turbo mimics this. Premium and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus models get high-quality genuine leather in either black or white. In Premium models, the dash is also covered in leather, with a central strip matching the seats while the upper and lower sections remain black. The trim is simple, with a decorative aluminum accent strip running the width of the dash.
Mazda 3 Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space
Mazda's 3 Sedan is merely average in this department. While the trunk is quite broad and low to the ground, it only offers 13.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The Honda Civic Sedan has 15.1 cubes, while the Mazda's hatch sibling provides a full 20.1 cubes. If cargo capacity is a significant concern, you'd be better off in the hatch. The rear seats do fold flat in a 60/40 split, but getaways with the whole family will require careful planning.
Interior storage is equally unremarkable. In keeping things minimal, Mazda forgot to add a few helpful storage spaces. It comes with dual cupholders up front and a small storage space underneath the center armrest. The door pockets are ample but unremarkable, and in the back, the rear center seatback folds forward for an armrest with extra cupholders.

Mazda 3 Sedan Infotainment and Features
Since Mazda mixed the 3 range up a bit, the standard features list now looks different from last year. The two base models (2.0 and 2.5 S) get manual air-conditioning, remote keyless entry with push-button start, and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise control switches. Dual-zone climate control and Mazda's advanced keyless entry system are only standard from Select trim while heated front seats with power adjustment only come into play from the Preferred. From the 2.5 Turbo, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror and heated steering wheel are equipped, while if you're looking for a head-up display, it's only found on the Premium and the two turbo models.
Safety specification remains generous, however. All models come as standard with smart brake support, lane departure warning, lane departure assist, radar cruise control with stop & go, driver attention alert, tire pressure monitoring, and high-beam control. Select models upward also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition for the full i-Activsense experience.
All models are equipped with an 8.8-inch center display without touch functionality. The base model comes with two USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, HD Radio, voice command, and Pandora integration. An eight-speaker sound system is standard. One step up from that is the full-color display with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration in the 2.5S, but it's not until the Premium that you start to see the full breadth of ability on offer with SiriusXM satellite radio, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, navigation, and flashy aluminum speaker grilles. The 2.5 Turbo misses out on built-in nav.
Since the screen isn't touch-compatible anymore, the infotainment has to be controlled via a rotary control located between the seats. It's easy enough to learn but annoying since Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were both designed with touch functionality in mind. Thankfully, Mazda includes a few shortcut buttons for volume and skipping songs next to the primary controller.
Mazda 3 Sedan Problems and Reliability
The Mazda 3 hasn't been around for long in its current form, which means Mazda is still ironing out some flaws. This is reflected in its J.D. Power quality & reliability score of 74. According to the NHTSA, the Mazda 3 was recalled six times in 2019 and twice in 2020, but only once as a 2021 model at the time of our review. The 2021 recall affected just 599 units that may have a leaking air valve on the tires and also affected the CX-30.
The Mazda 3 is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Mazda 3 Sedan Safety
Safety is the Mazda 3's forte. In the NHTSA review of the Mazda 3 Sedan, it scored five stars in every category and a full five-star overall safety rating. Thanks to its impressive line-up of standard safety features, the 2021 model also received a Top Safety Pick + in the IIHS review, with no restrictions on specific headlights or trims.
Key Safety Features
The 3 is handsomely equipped across the range, but only mid-range models from the Select get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic assist as standard. That's over and above the standard safety features - all models get smart brake support, lane departure warning, lane departure assist, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, driver attention alert, tire pressure monitoring, and high-beam control. Eight airbags are standard including knee airbags for the front occupants, as is ABS, and traction and stability control. Traffic sign recognition is equipped to both the Premium and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus.
Verdict: 🏁Is the 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan a good car?
There's no denying the Mazda 3 is a good package. It has a beautiful exterior and interior, and it's fun to drive. The main problem was Mazda's dedication to the naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter engine. It's a good enough engine, but it just doesn't have the gusto to keep up with competition like the Civic Si and Jetta GLI.
While the new turbocharged model isn't as scalpel-like as some of the more hardcore offerings in the segment, we're just happy that Mazda finally gave it turbo power. We knew there was a good car in there somewhere, and the turbo brings it out. Thanks to Mazda's focus on sublime steering and balanced ride and handling, it can hustle as well, despite erring on the side of refinement rather than brutality. Finally, the Mazda 3 is a brilliant car. Before, it didn't offer any real reason to buy it over a CX-5, but now that Mazda added fun to the mix, it's a viable option.
🚘What's the Price of the 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan?
With the addition of new engines, the price of the Mazda 3 Sedan is now more palatable. The revised range starts at a base price of $20,650 for the entry-level 2.0 Sedan. Next in line is the 2.5 S for $21,650, followed by the Select at $22,850. The cost of the Mazda 3 in Preferred guise is $24,500, and then it's a somewhat significant jump to Premium specification and its MSRP of $27,000. The turbocharged models don't come cheap, retailing for $30,050 in 2.5 Turbo guise and $32,600 in 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. All-wheel drive is available on the Select, Preferred, and Premium for an additional $1,400. These prices exclude Mazda's destination charge of $995.
2021 Mazda 3 Sedan Models
The new Mazda 3 has a revised model range, including new engine options with correlating fresh nomenclature. Seven models are now available in the USA: 2.0 Sedan, 2.5 S Sedan, Select, Preferred, Premium, 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. The numerical prefixes denote the different engine designations per trim, with FWD standard on all but the 2.5T models. These have AWD which is optional on the Select, Preferred, and Premium models.
The 2.0 Sedan boasts automatic LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, push-button start, cloth upholstery, and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen with AM/FM radio, Bluetooth, HD Radio, and eight speakers. Driver assistance is complementary in the form of adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with departure warning, a rearview camera, and driver attention alert.
2.5 S derivatives upgrade to a larger engine and gain Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration thanks to an upgraded, full-color infotainment unit.
Select derivatives are the first with access to AWD. Other improvements include 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, a rear center armrest, leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
The Preferred is differentiated by gloss black styling elements and a power moonroof, while inside, it gets heated front seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory.
Premium-spec sedans have signature LED lighting front and rear, gain full leather upholstery, and are gifted a 12-speaker Bose sound system, SiriusXM satellite radio, standard navigation, a head-up display, and traffic sign recognition.
Standard AWD and a turbo engine accompany the 2.5 Turbo, while the interior gets a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror and a heated steering wheel, but reverts to leatherette upholstery and misses out on navigation and traffic sign recognition.
Top of the pile, the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus sees the return of leather, navigation, and traffic sign recognition while also adding a rear lip spoiler, traffic jam assist, a 360-degree camera, and rear automatic braking.
See All 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan Trims and Specs
Mazda's options list doesn't have a lot to offer. Non-turbo Mazda 3 models can be equipped with a Black Accent Package for $475 with various exterior trim in, you guessed it, black. There are also standalone options, like a wireless charging pad for $275 and, on certain trims, navigation for $450 and a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror for $275.
🚗What New Mazda 3 Sedan Model Should I Buy?
There's no shame in going with the base model for commuter and family work. With any engine under the hood, the Mazda 3 has a flow to how it drives and an excellent interior for the price point. When it comes to value for money with a little extra cash, the Select trim with the 2.5-liter engine makes the Mazda 3 an excellent all-rounder from school runs to long freeway drives and anything in between.
For the up-and-coming commuters, Premium will allow you to sit in comfort in long traffic jams or enjoy taking the long and scenic way home. The 2.5 Turbo occupies a more exciting space and will satisfy anyone that has outgrown the idea of a Subaru WRX. It's quick, it's fun, it's all-wheel-drive, it's practical, but people won't expect the owner to be wearing a flat cap and carrying a vape. That's the one we'd get, with Soul Red Crystal paint for $595 and a wireless charging pad, for a total of $31,915 including destination.

2021 Mazda 3 Sedan vs Honda Civic Sedan
The Civic remains one of the top choices in the midsize sedan segment, for good reason. For a reasonable price, Honda gives you a quality cabin, decent ride and handling, and a turbocharged engine that's very responsible at low speeds. Thanks to new turbo engines, the Mazda 3 is now in direct competition with the Civic Si as well, which already has its cult following as an affordable driver's machine.
These cars compete on two levels. On the practical side, the Honda offers a more extensive interior and better fuel economy. The Mazda's interior is a massive step up in terms of quality at the expense of space, and it has the option of AWD.
On the performance side, we have the Civic Si, which is down on power compared to the turbocharged Mazda. But, and it's a big Seth Rogen-sized but, the Si is available with one of the sweetest manuals on the planet, and it only weighs 2,889 lbs. The Mazda is quicker off the line thanks to AWD, but the Civic Si has built quite a following for a reason. At $25,000, it's a lot cheaper than the entry-level turbocharged Mazda. We'd say a more mature buyer should get the Mazda, while a young hot-head should get a Civic Si or even a base Civic Sport. But there's an all-new Civic on the way for 2022, and until then, we'd rate the Mazda 3 as the better vehicle for the up-and-comer.

2021 Mazda 3 Sedan vs Mazda 6 Sedan
With the Mazda 3 moving upmarket, there was some overlap in pricing with the bigger Mazda 6. Now with the turbo models, that overlap is even more pronounced. A top-spec Mazda 3 retails for $32,600, which is just $350 less than the 2021 Mazda 6 Carbon Edition. This specific model creates a massive problem for the 3 because it's also equipped with the 250-hp 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. Yes, it's sure to be slower, but Mazda's Carbon Edition trim adds a lot of nice features we'd love to be a part of our daily motoring lives. This includes beautiful red leather-trimmed sports seats, power adjustment for both front passengers, wireless Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, heated front and rear seats, a power moonroof, and all of the driver assistance features. The 6 is bigger, with a larger trunk and more rear-passenger space, but lacks the precision of the newest Mazda 3. It's still fun to drive, though. There's only one problem - the Mazda 6 is soon to be discontinued in the US, so if you've had your eyes on one and been putting the decision off, this might be your last chance.

Re: Sam Charters film The Blues
I asked Gary Atkinson of Document Records an update for the movie "The Blues" by Sam Charters. Here's his reply :
The documentary film was finally completed in the autumn of last year. We are very pleased with the results.
It has been given the title of 'Searching For Secret Heroes - The Making Of A Film'. It is made up in two sections. The first is made up of interviews with Sam and Ann Charters discussion how, as a young couple in 1962 the ventured south with a wind up 16mm camera and a reel to reel tape recorder hoping to catch on film, for the first time, some of the "country blues" artists who could still be found and were still performing at their homes and locally. This section lasts for fifty-seven minutes ending with Sam and Ann describing what they had found in the segregated south of the time. As a young couple from the north, they were shocked yet they were also elated with what they had captured both on film and on the microphone. The remaining section is that of the entire film that they shot and which Sam simply called 'The Blues'.
We are now working on the notes and the album, which will accompany the DVD, which is due to be released at the end of this year.

Contrary to popular belief, there are no black panthers in North America; no one has ever captured or killed a black Mountain Lion. Mountain Lions are also called cougars, pumas, panthers, painters, and catamounts. For more information see: Mountain Lions of Texas (PDF Kb).
Its food habits are not well known. Those reported grew to only half the size of the parents.
There have been unconfirmed sightings in Elliotsville Plantation, Maine north of Monson and as early as in New Hampshire. Currently, it is referred to as "puma" by most scientists  and by the populations in 21 of the 23 countries in the Americas.
Now restricted to several isolated patches of suitable habitat in three or four counties of the Rio Grande Plains, the ocelot once ranged over the entire southern part of the state, with occasional records from north and central Texas. In the latest genomic study of the Felidae, the common ancestor of today's Leopardus , Lynx , Puma , Prionailurus , and Felis lineages migrated across the Bering land bridge into the Americas 8.
Other prey animals included in the Mountain Lion's diet are rabbits, jackrabbits, javelinas, and rodents. Small to mid-sized mammals are preferred, including large rodents such as the capybara.
Sighting and kill reports indicate that Mountain Lions now occur in more counties than they did 10 years ago and appear to be expanding their range into central Texas. WVTM 13 By far the most plentiful of wild cats in Texas, and throughout the United States, the feral domestic cat is simply a house pet gone wild.
To the Apache and Walapai of Arizona , the wail of the cougar was a harbinger of death. Packs of wolves can steal cougars' kills and occasionally kill the cat. Whether born to a female puma mated to a male leopard or to a male puma mated to a female leopard, pumapards inherit a form of dwarfism.
Contrary to popular belief, there are no black panthers in North America; no one has ever captured or killed a black Mountain Lion. Mountain Lions are also called cougars, pumas, panthers, painters, and catamounts. For more information see: Mountain Lions of Texas (PDF Kb). Texas is home to 7 different cat species including several endangered ones. Mountain Lion (Puma, Cougar) mountain lion ranges over much of the Trans-Pecos of West Texas, the southern two-thirds of the Hill Country in Central Texas. Mar 5, - Mountain lion encounters are rare in Texas, but locals say they've seen appear to be expanding their range into central Texas," according to.
Packs of wolves can steal cougars' kills and occasionally kill the cat. For example, a study in British Columbia observed that the population of mule deer, a favored cougar prey, was declining while the population of the less frequently preyed-upon white-tailed deer was increasing. Within this range, the cat is most common in remote, thinly populated ranchlands but may be encountered almost anywhere.
Predation by cougars has been linked to changes in the species mix of deer in a region. Bobcats are highly adaptable felines and throughout most of their range in Texas have shown a marked ability to cope with the inroads of human settlement. Unlike several subordinate predators from other ecosystems, cougars do not appear to take advantage of spatial or temporal refuges to avoid their competitors.

The cougar cannot be legally killed without a permit in California except under very specific circumstances, such as when a cougar is in act of pursuing livestock or domestic animals, or is declared a threat to public safety.
They are well known for their screams, as referenced in some of their common names, although these screams are often misinterpreted to be the calls of other animals or humans. The jaguar roams the beaches on spring nights, digs up the turtle eggs and enjoys a delectable repast.
The cougar cannot be legally killed without a permit in California except under very specific circumstances, such as when a cougar is in act of pursuing livestock or domestic animals, or is declared a threat to public safety. It stalks through brush and trees, across ledges, or other covered spots, before delivering a powerful leap onto the back of its prey and a suffocating neck bite.


Encrypted communication is achieved by sending quantum information in basic units called quantum bits, or qubits. The most basic type of quantum information processing is quantum entanglement. However, this process remains poorly understood. Better controlling quantum entanglement could help to improve quantum teleportation, the development of quantum computers, and quantum cryptography. Now, the authors have focused on finding ways to enhance the reliability of quantum secret sharing. In a new study published recently, they provide a much finer characterisation of the distributions of entanglement in multi-qubit systems than previously available. In the context of quantum cryptography, these findings can be used to estimate the quantity of information an eavesdropper can capture regarding the secret encryption key.

Desert Island Album Draft, Round 1: All Things Must Pass
I'm participating in an album draft with nine other bloggers, organized by Hanspostcard. There will be ten rounds, with draft order determined randomly by round. I was the last to select in the first round, but my #1 choice was still available: George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. I'll probably end up doing an extended series on this album when its 50th anniversary comes up later this year.
Where to start with George's 1970 triple album opus, and how to explain concisely why this album means so much to me in a manner that doesn't make me sound full of myself? I'm counting on the fact that we're all music nuts here and can, at least to some extent, relate. Despite the fact that I have no clue what it's like to be musically gifted, internationally famous (never mind an ex-Beatle), wealthy, etc., if there's one artist who I think I can relate to as a person, it's George. I wear my heart on my sleeve like he did, and if I were ever to experience any degree of fame I'd probably react to it similarly to him. That is to say, "'Hari Krishna,' now please get off my lawn while I enjoy this piece of cake." Maybe it's because I'm a fellow Pisces, I don't know. And if there's one album of his which displays his full range of emotions relating to personal relationships and spiritual longing, and is presented in beautifully crafted songs with fantastic musicianship from start to finish, it's All Things Must Pass.
Due to the limits he faced with regard to his songs making it onto Beatles albums, Harrison had been stockpiling them since roughly 1966. After starting 1968 by staying in India longer than the other Beatles, in the fall of that year George spent time with Dylan and The Band at Woodstock, which was perhaps the final nail in the Beatles' coffin as far as George was concerned. Their influence is all over this solo debut album, which was an artistic and emotional purging for Harrison.
There are songs of human love for friends, including the Dylan co-written I'd Have You Anytime, and George's attempt at coaxing Bob out of his self-imposed exile on Behind That Locked Door. Apple Scruffs is his humorous love song to his loyal fans who waited daily outside the recording studio, and What is Life is one of a number of George's uniquely ambiguous love songs over the course of his solo years which leaves it up to the listener to decide if it's about human or Godly love.
There are songs of lament over friendships on the wane. Wah-Wah was written when George walked out of the Get Back sessions. It's a double entendre which refers to the guitar effect as well as the headache John and Paul had caused him. Run of the Mill, too, was written out of his sadness over the Beatles' slow dissolution. Isn't it a Pity, to me, is the most powerful track on this emotional roller coaster of an album. I can't watch Eric Clapton and Billy Preston sing it on The Concert for George without tears. Just thinking about it…
And, there are the songs which focus on George's spiritual journey. The smash hit, of course, was My Sweet Lord, which includes a Vedic chant for which Harrison took heat from Christian fundamentalists for supposedly trying to subliminally indoctrinate America's youth into heathen Eastern religion. As with his organizing the Concert for Bangladesh a year later, it took nerve (and Phil Spector's insistence) for him to put this song out as a single, but it paid off. The Art of Dying had its genesis around 1966 when Lennon's Tomorrow Never Knows was the Tibetan Book of the Dead-influenced song to make the cut on Revolver. To the uninitiated, it can be a dark or frightening song. It's not. As with The Art of Dying, Awaiting on You All is Harrison encouraging us to wake up to what's real and eschew that which isn't. And lastly, after all the madness, fame, and fortune of his Beatles experience left him emotionally and spiritually frayed, there's George's bare bones plea in Hear Me Lord. For such a private man, it doesn't get any more open and sincere than this.
I know I need to wrap this up despite the fact that I could go on (other tracks, the plagiarism lawsuit, Apple Jam, the session players, the cover, etc.). I would, however, like to comment briefly on Phil Spector's production. As with Let it Be, this is the version we grew up with, and I love it just like it is. Perhaps when the deluxe 50th anniversary edition comes out this fall, it will include alternate versions and demos with toned down production. Some of it is already available on bootlegs and YouTube.

November 1 – George Harrison Steps Out
George Harrison – Wonderwall Music
In the world of film scores, some rather clearly need to be heard while watching the film in order to appreciate them. Some are enjoyable regardless of the context in which they're being listened to. One such example for me is the Eurythmics soundtrack to the film 1984. I also find the soundtracks to Wes Anderson's films to be eclectic and enjoyable. But a case where I can see how it could go either way for the listener is George Harrison's score to the Joe Massot movie Wonderwall, titled Wonderwall Music, released this day 50 years ago. It was the first solo album by a member of the Beatles, and the first recording released on their Apple label.
Harrison viewed Massot's work, a movie full of psychedelic pop art (with sets created by the Fool) and dream sequences starring Jane Birkin and Jack MacGowran, at Twickenham Studios. He took notes on the timing of its scenes, and then composed the music to fit accordingly. That music would include Hindustani classical, psychedelic rock, cowboy western movie theme music, and even Ragtime. The film itself is a metaphor for the generation gap as experienced in Swinging London, and Harrison saw it as an opportunity to examine through his compositions the gap between the West and the East, between materialism and spirituality. As described by AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell, the album was "a minor eruption of the pent-up energies of George Harrison."
Harrison, who along with the other three Beatles was experiencing newfound creative independence after the death of manager Brian Epstein in late August of 1967, was given full artistic control by Massot. He composed the music on piano and organ, and played guitar on much of the album, though on the original release he was only credited as producer, writer, and arranger. He also collaborated with top Indian musicians as well as classical pianist and arranger, John Barham, a fellow classical Indian music enthusiast.
Harrison wanted to expand upon the Indian instrumentation that he'd utilized with the Beatles already. In addition to the sitar and tabla, he now employed the oboe-like shehnai, the sarod, and the hammered dulcimer-like santoor, among others. The Western tracks utilized tape loops, backward guitar sound, and wah-wah effects in addition to the more straight forward instrumentation.
Some of both the Western and Indian portions were recorded in London at EMI and De Lane Lea Studios from November '67 to January '68. These sessions included Liverpool band the Remo Four, as well as Ringo and Eric Clapton (credited under the pseudonym "Eddie Clayton"). Peter Tork played banjo on a track which was not included on the soundtrack.

The rest of the Indian sections were recorded in Bombay at HMV Studios from January 9-13, 1968. It was in Bombay that the instrumental track to George's future B-side The Inner Light was recorded. The majority of the Western music was recorded upon Harrison's return to London in January. Final mixing with Ken Scott began on January 31, and two weeks later George returned to India with the Beatles, their wives and significant others for their retreat with the Maharishi in Rishikesh.
Harrison in Bombay, January 1968
The album would mark the end of Harrison's immersion in Indian music as a composer and musician. After spending time with Ravi Shankar in L.A. a few months later, he decided to concentrate on the guitar and Western music. This period did inspire him later in his work with Ravi Shankar on the latter's Music Festival from India and the East/West fusion of Harrison's 1974 North American Tour, where he worked again with some of the musicians from the January '68 sessions.
Contemporary reviews of the score were favorable. There are sequences in the film with little to no dialogue, and it's been noted that the music effectively takes the place of speaking parts. Retrospective reviews also find much merit in Harrison's efforts on the album. It's been described as a stew of music that's altogether "spacey," "esoteric," "rollicking," and "a beguiling tapestry of sound." Of course, there are different strokes for different folks. Rolling Stone lazily included it in its "20 Terrible Debut Albums by Great Artists" issue. RS writer Keith Harris: "The best thing you can say about Wonderwall Music is that it's probably more historically significant than the LP of experimental twaddle John Lennon released a month later – after all, Oasis never wrote a hit song called 'Two Virgins.'" The reality is, there are just many westerners who don't care for Indian music. And that's o.k., because there are many of us who do. And for many if not most of us, it's due to George Harrison introducing us to it.

Scientists discover new ocean current
Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:50 UTC
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a new climate pattern called the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. This new pattern explains, for the first time, changes in the water that are important in helping commercial fishermen understand fluctuations in the fish stock. They're also finding that as the temperature of the Earth is warming, large fluctuations in these factors could help climatologists predict how the oceans will respond in a warmer world. The research appears in the April 30 edition of the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
"We've been able to explain, for the first time, the changes in salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll that we see in the Northeast Pacific," said Emanuele Di Lorenzo, assistant professor in Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

Tim Newton would have been working construction Monday if rain hadn't given him a day off.
"I was just sitting there watching TV and next thing I knew lightning stuck the house and the whole house shook," Newton said.
Newton had been sitting in the living room around 2:45 p.m. when lightning hit. He looked in the hallway and saw the smoke detector smoldering and called for help. His 1 ½-year-old son Nathan's bedroom is right by the spot where the smoke detector caught fire.

Tropical Reforestation Aided By Bats
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:29 UTC
German scientists are engaging bats to kick-start natural reforestation in the tropics by installing artificial bat roosts in deforested areas. This novel method for tropical restoration is presented in a new study published online in the science journal Conservation Biology this week.
Detlev Kelm from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin (IZW) and Kerstin Wiesner and Otto von Helversen from the University of Erlangen - Nuremberg report that the deployment of artificial bat roosts significantly increases seed dispersal of a wide range of tropical forest plants into their surroundings, providing a simple and cheap method to speed up natural forest regeneration.

23rd January 1813: The Leeds Mercury expresses relief that Luddism was unconnected to reformist politics & politicians
However afflictive the transactions the late Assize, under the Special Commission, at York, must have been to every humane mind, there is one point on which every friend to his Country, and every loyal heart – loyal in the true sense of the word, will find consolation; and that is, the discovery that the disturbances which have recently prevailed, stand unconnected with political men and political parties. In these disturbances, not an individual above the rank of the persons who have paid the forfeit of their lives to the injured laws of their country seems to have been concerned, either directly or indirectly.—In the Judge's Charge the Grand Jury, his Lordship seemed to conceive that the erroneous opinions of the persons concerned in these disturbances, had been infused into their minds by some evil disposed persons, for the worst purposes; but there was not a tittle of evidence to support the supposition that these mistaken men acted under any sort of instigation other than that of persons engaged in their own pursuits. Nor is it necessary, to look to any other causes for a solution of their conduct. The objection to machinery amongst persons affected by its operation, is no new objection; nor are outrages on that account in former times, unknown to this country. Upwards of a dozen years ago, a vast number of persons riotously assembled in the streets of Leeds, and from thence proceeded to a Mill in this neighbourhood where Machinery used in the dressing of cloth was used, and completely destroyed the Mill. This spirit was again roused by the practices which so long prevailed in Nottinghamshire, accounts of which, Mr. Park observed, the persons engaged in these practices were in the habit of reading in the Newspapers—in all Newspapers—for these accounts, as forming a part of the history of the times, when inserted in every Newspaper in the kingdom.
The only part of the evidence given at the trials under the Special Commission, that seemed to have any political aspect, was that given by John Hinchliffe, who deposed, that when Scholefield was attempting to prevail upon him to take the illegal oath, he said that they were waiting to get a body of men within the liberty of Holmfirth,—they had got such a body at Huddersfield, and they wanted to get a body of men at all places, and then they might start in a moment and overthrow the Government; and that all the officers and men, except one Serjeant in a whole regiment, were twisted in, besides four of the Queen's Bays. But no sober-minded man would lay any stress upon this redoubtable story, which carries on the face of it, a notorious falsehood; and which would if true, not so much implicate political as military men. We assert, then, and we appeal to the proceedings [at] every stage of the business [obscured] confirmation [obscured] [illegible], that there [illegible] arcana of this [illegible] combination [had] [obscured] got into, though persons most deeply implicated in its transactions, and best acquainted with its secrets have become evidence for the Crown, and made all the discoveries in their power, that there never was a combination of the same extent in this, or any other country, so perfectly free from all political subjects, or so entirely destitute of political characters. It is true, however, that indirectly the political relations of the country, and the want of a free commerce, have given an extension to this combination that it would never otherwise have acquired, and that the privation and deficiency of labour amongst the poor, have led men (in want of better employment,) to hazard their lives in these desperate enterprizes.
We shall at present only further observe, that conceiving it to be a vast importance to the restoration of the public tranquillity to lay before the public, with promptitude, the proceedings under the Special Commission York; we have spared no pains to affect so desirable a purpose, and it may without arrogance claim the exclusive [merit] of having by those exertions given to our readers in a certain sense to the whole kingdom, faithful history of the transactions of an assize equal in importance to almost any occurrence in the criminal jurisprudence of this country.

Real sutureless combined anterior and posterior segment surgery.
SUK HO BYEON, MD; AND YOUNG KWANG CHU, MD
https://crstodayeurope.com/articles/2011-may/bimanual-mics-and-mivs/ link
Cataract development or progression is the most common complication of vitrectomy procedures, with an incidence of up to 95% within the first 2 years.1 Inadvertent crystalline lens touch or prolonged gas tamponade during vitrectomy can rapidly exacerbate this complication. Therefore, combined cataract and vitrectomy surgery is not only cost effective but can lead to faster visual recovery.2
Preexisting lens opacity disturbs visualization of the vitreous and retina during vitreous surgery. Removal of the cataractous lens prior to vitrectomy enhances visualization and provides more room for instrument manipulation, which is especially beneficial to attain a more complete vitrectomy near the anterior vitreous base. Today, many retinal surgeons prefer combined surgery, particularly in presbyopic eyes.
MICROINCISION SURGERIES BECOMING POPULAR
Minimally invasive surgery has become a mainstream technique in ophthalmology, and small-incision and sutureless techniques are gaining momentum in both cataract and retinal surgeries. We believe that combining microincision cataract surgery (MICS) and microincision vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) is at the forefront of combined ophthalmic procedures and should become more prevalent in the near future.
When it comes to MICS, there are distinct pros and cons depending on the chosen technique (bimanual or coaxial).3 The advantages of coaxial MICS include stable fluidics and a generally shorter learning curve. However, the obvious objective and advantage of MICS is surgery through a smaller incision. Bimanual MICS currently allows the smallest incisions, despite its limitations of decreased chamber stability, the need for the surgeon to adopt different style phaco techniques, and a higher risk of corneal burns.4
Currently, the lack of commercially available IOLs that can be implanted through these small incisions is the greatest obstacle hindering popularization of MICS techniques. But the advantages of these very small incisions can be maximized when MICS is combined with MIVS.5 Below we introduce our sutureless combined surgery technique for bimanual MICS and MIVS. A video of the procedure can be viewed at http://eyetube.net/?v=kenir.
Trocar insertion.We begin by placing three 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy trocars (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas; Figure 1). Alternatively, trocars can be placed after cataract surgery, as in some instances insertion can be met with some resistance. There is no regurgitation of the ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) through the corneal incisions when trocars are placed after bimanual MICS.
Corneal incision. We make two clear corneal incisions using a 1.6-mm disposable blade (Figure 2): one trapezoidal sideport incision for the irrigating chopper, and one main incision for the sleeveless phaco tip. The external dimension of the trapezoidal sideport incision is less than 1.5 mm, and the main incision is 1.6 mm. We have seen no excessive leakage during phacoemulsification and no OVD regurgitation through the wound sites during vitrectomy. We do not think that a smaller incision is necessary at this time because the main incision must be extended to 2.0 mm before IOL implantation. We prefer inserting IOLs with sufficient stability during these combined surgeries, especially in cases with gas tamponade where the gas bubble may push a very pliable IOL into the anterior chamber.
Capsulorrhexis. Performing continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC) through small incisions may be cumbersome, but it has the advantage of causing little OVD leakage and thus maintaining the shape of the anterior chamber during the procedure. Our standard CCC is approximately 5.5 mm; however, if gas tamponade is anticipated, we prefer a slightly smaller CCC (5.0 mm) to prevent the IOL from extruding into the anterior chamber.
Phacoemulsification. We use an irrigating chopper (Duet BiManual system; MicroSurgical Technologies, Inc., Redmond, Washington) to perform a primary chop technique (Figure 3), dividing the nucleus into four pieces and removing them with phacoemulsification. We use a sleeveless 30º phaco tip with the Sovereign Phacoemulsification System (Abbott Medical Optics Inc., Santa Ana, California). Minimal phacoemulsification is needed because we utilize the mechanical forces of both instruments for chopping.
Corneal burn is the one of most problematic complications during sleeveless phacoemulsification. This can be prevented by avoiding use of excessively tight phaco incisions and reducing total effective phaco time. In most combined surgical cases, low phaco power should suffice as the cataract is usually not as hard as in conventional cataract cases.
Once cataract extraction is complete, cortical remnants are removed, with special attention paid to the subincisional area. The anterior chamber is filled with Healon (Abbott Medical Optics Inc.), just enough to enlarge the pupil but not enough to cause the posterior capsule to bulge. This will prevent accidental capsular rupture during vitrectomy (Figure 4).
Prolapse of OVD through corneal wounds during vitrectomy can lead to iris prolapse, miosis, and even posterior capsular rupture. Temporarily suturing the incisions to prevent the OVD from prolapsing during vitrectomy, especially during scleral indentation near the corneal incision sites, is not necessary in this technique.
Posterior vitrectomy. We use a noncontact wide-angle viewing system (BIOM; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzler, Germany) during vitrectomy. Clear and full visualization of the entire retina is a key element for successful vitrectomy. Prior removal of the crystalline lens allows excellent visualization of the peripheral retina and clearer visualization of the posterior pole (Figure 5). With the wide-angle viewing system, after the lens is removed, visualization up to the ora serrata can be achieved without scleral indentation. However, scleral indentation allows direct visualization of the anterior retina, facilitating detection of very fine retinal defects and allowing meticulous shaving of the vitreous base (Figure 6). Therefore, we recommend postponing IOL implantation until the completion of the posterior work, because glare from the IOL haptics and optic margins and the magnifying effects of the IOL will hinder visualization during vitrectomy.
IOL implantation. Retinal surgeons usually prefer larger IOLs with larger optics because these are more stable than smaller IOLs. Particularly in cases with gas tamponade, IOL choice is important because the gas bubble may push a smaller, more flexible IOL into the anterior chamber. We prefer using a one-piece hydrophobic IOL (AcrySof; Alcon Laboratories, Inc.), which can be injected through a 2.0-mm incision. We do not have much experience in using IOLs specifically made for MICS in combined surgery.
Completion of surgery. After IOL implantation and OVD removal, the anterior chamber is formed and the corneal incisions are sealed through incision-site hydration. The trocars are then removed and the sclerotomies are checked for leakage (Figure 7). Because of reduced support from the vitreous base after vitrectomy, the eye is more prone to astigmatism. Thus, small incisions and sutureless techniques, both in cataract surgery and vitrectomy, have additional astigmatic advantages.
The benefit of bimanual MICS lies in the use of smaller incisions, and this benefit can be maximized when MICS is used in combination with sutureless MIVS.4 Implanting the IOL at the end of vitrectomy provides the best visualization, most notably in the peripheral retina. Smaller incision sizes have now enabled surgeons to perform real sutureless surgery. Combining sutureless MICS and MIVS may currently be the least invasive combined ophthalmologic surgery technique.

A pipe can fill a tank in 12 minutes and another pipe in 15 minutes. But the third pipe can empty it in 6 minutes. The first two pipes are kept open for 5 minutes in the beginning and then the third pipe is also opened. In what time is the cistern emptied?
Two taps can separately fill a cistern in 10 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. When the waste pipe is open, they can together fill it in 18 minutes. In how many minutes will the waste pipe can empty the full cistern?
Hence in 9 Minutes the waste pipe can empty the full cistern.
A tank is normally filled by one pipe A in 20 min and pipe B in 25 min. Both the pipes are kept open for 5 min and then pipe B is closed. In how many more minutes will the tank be fully filled?
Let us consider, the leak takes x hours to empty the full tank when pipe A is shut.
So, the leak will empty 1xof the tank in 1 hour.
A tank is fitted with 8 pipes, some of these fill the tank while some of these empty the tank. Each of the pipes that fills the tank fill it in 8 hours, while each of those that empty the tank empties it in 6 hours. If all the pipes are kept open when the tank is full, it will take 6 hours to drain the complete tank. How many of these are filling pipes?
Each of the filling pipes can fill the tank in 8 hours.
each of the waste pipes can drain the full tank in 6 hours.


@MihaMarkic which backend you'd like to use?
there is Skia and Direct2d? also gtk3?
so, how would I use gtk?
General contributing question: Are there any rules regarding XML doc comments? Should public members have XML doc comments?
Avalonia.Interactivity.RoutedEvent doesn't have any... should I add some or just add comments for the members I added to that class?
Does anyone know what's wrong with the build?
I think I know what's wrong. There was a change in the most recent VS update that messed up output directories for Android projects. I'll send out a quick PR to fix the build.
@siegfriedpammer I fixed master. Merge those changes into your branch and that should fix the issues in the Appveyor build.


Shift clicking ignores stacking restrictions of a slot if this slot already contains the same item. This does not affect all slots with stacking restrictions because some of them do not use the (probably?) new method Slot.getSlotStackLimit().
The method net.minecraft.inventory.Container.mergeItemStack(ItemStack, int, int, boolean) ignores the stacking restrictions of a slot if the same item is already in it.


Is this birch or cherry?
I just got back from the hardwood dealer this morning and rough milled the boards before letting them acclimate to my shop.
They were all marked as yellow birch, which I purchased to use for a paint grade bathroom vanity.
However, when milling them, a few had that very distinct cherry aroma.
They look an awful lot like cherry (both sapwood and heartwood). If I use these, will this present a problem with bleeding into the white paint? I plan to prime them with BIN, so I don't imagine there will be an issue.
Looks like cherry to me too. It'll be fine to prime and paint.
Looks like cherry to me. I say save for another project. Buy some beech or poplar to paint!
I wasn't going to say anything, but since Bob did… He's right. Painting cherry is a waste when cheaper wood will look just as good.
I wasn t going to say anything, but since Bob did… He s right. Painting cherry is a waste when cheaper wood will look just as good.
Well this kinda was cheaper wood lol.
It was sold as birch for $3/BF.
Sapwood or no … $3/BF or no … if you paint cherry you do know you will go to woodworker hell, right? LOL!
Let's say you bought some packages of chuck steak at the store for a pot of chili. After you get home, you realize two of the packages actually contain USDA Prime dry aged New York Strip. Would you cut that up and put it in the chili, or set it aside for something special?
Birch also has a clear distinction between heartwood and sapwood. Hard to make a call from that pic. Does it show the small black mineral streaks that cherry usually exhibits?


Norman was such a carefree man. He never worried about anything and was always relaxed.

How do you get a fast, but reckless programmer to slow down?
That was a very reckless thing to do. Do you realise you put your own life in danger?
It was a little reckless, but you know, I was 16.

Why White rose restaurant (Nha Hang Bong Hong Trang) is special ?
What is Hoi An White Rose?
According to the local people, White Rose has been long time ago.From the 17th century, when French reporter came Hoi An and enjoy it. He felt that its flavor was delicious, strange and its shape like Rose( a kind of flowers) and White was the color of these cakes.
Known locally as Banh Bao Vac, the name 'white rose' was apparently given by the French. When examining the Vietnamese dish closely it's easy to see how they came up with the name as the outer section certainly could resemble flower petals.
The little dumplings are made from translucent white dough which is filled with spiced minced shrimp or pork, and bunched up to look like little white roses. The recipe for these dumplings is secret, held by one family in Hoi An who supplies all the restaurants. At 533 Hai Ba Trung Street, Tran Tuan Ngai is a third generation secret keeper of the traditional white rose recipe.
Prices are very cheap for such good foods.
It's located at 533 hai ba trung, its a little bit out of the city area but well worth the walk!
Saw this place promoted in gourmet traveller, they only do 2 dishes, wontons and white rose - both are delicious. At 533 hai ba trung, its a little bit out of the city area but well worth the walk!
An American expat recommended this to us as THE place to get Hoi An's local specialties, white rose and fried wontons. It's several blocks out of the tourist area, well worth the walk. Our waitress gave us the menu with the comment "2 foods only," we ordered a plate of each and enjoyed both of them. (Sorry, we devoured the wontons without taking a picture!) She came by our table to show us how they form the white roses by hand; this family-owned restaurant supplies many others in the area. The two platefuls of food were ample for two adults, and our bill came to about $10 including a juice and a beer. We had fried wontons later during our trip, but these were the best.
