Ichika not seeing it is just showing how extremely clueless he is. Perhaps the series should be renamed to "Infinite Cluelessness"
The girls not seeing it is because they didn't *want* to see it, they absolutely wanted to have yet another boy.

Not to mention they immediately assigned the "feminine" role to Charles from the get go, meaning they too saw something.
But I'm not for IchikaxCharlotte. She's wasted on him. Houki can have Ichika.
So tonight, WE dine, in Charlotte!!

I am usually an osananajimi shipper but dang I have to throw the red towel on this one. Charles/Charlotte is much too manly and much too feminine together for any other girl from this show to hope to keep up.

Yeah but its not just because they are tsundere, it's because they are unnaturally tsun and because Charlotte is just THAT much better than all of them in EVERYTHING.
K let's do this. Wall of text inc.
First of all, it's because unlike other girls, she isn't constantly contradicting herself, denying any and all sign of interest in him. She is the only one who has acted normal with him both as a guy and a girl and obviously, Ichika can't have enough of her. He even wants her to act like a girl when they are alone
Second, it's because she is very levelheaded and doesn't just rush into things and mess up due to jealousy etc. Even the German girl who has yet to take interest in him talks too much and is thus inferior. She may not have the best specifications or not be the best skilled but unlike other girls, she doesn't talk big and yet she is the one who is brave enough to risk an unfair fight for his sake when IT ACTUALLY COUNTS. She is clearly his shining knight on the horse o.0
Third, it's because she IS very sexy and unlike other girls doesn't go around making an wuss of him for trying to complement or even notice any and all feminine charms. Besides, she is superior to them all in all sense of feminine charm, from body to breasts to face to voice to ass to everything you can think of as a girl's assets and her clearly superior feminine charm has been taken notice of. Ichika actually blushes when he notices her movements.
Fourth, it's because she is playing her cards right. She is just that inviting but isn't a slut by any stretch of imagination. She knows when to say what and is just the kind of girl that knows how to hook a man in not to mention she looks and behaves very honest and easygoing. The kind of woman you want to claim as your wife and be a slave to for the rest of your life. Basically, she actually knows how to nurture a relationship unlike those mega idiot horny teen sluts.
Fifth, it's because she actually has a very very tragic back story - overused though the plot device maybe - that, combined with her good nature, would force any man to wish to protect her. Who can resist coming to aid of a damsel in distress who doesn't force herself onto you? I hate the type that force themselves onto me regardless of whether or not they need me. And Ichika is a respectable (albeit much too dense and academically retarded when compared to me) man like I am. And she doesn't refuse your help or push you out either. She is independent but she is willing to work together. She has led such a rough life and yet she isn't bitter and despite having a personal
IS etc., she doesn't act pompous at all. Just the kind of girl you'd fall in love with if you had been in an academy full of teenage girls that act like they are something fucking beyond this world just because they can use something most other people can't.
Sixth, it's because she is genuinely cute. Her responses are what you'd expect of a girl. She doesn't freak out just because Ichika complemented her. She only has those cute reactions when he touches her or finds her in an awkward situation etc. Screw the rest of the bitches really.
Seventh, it's because she is the only girl who isn't going to murder Ichika the moment he so much as gets involved with another girl. Given Ichika's history and uniqueness, he is most definitely going to be involved with a lot of girls and it would take someone like Charlotte to understand and support him. NOT those women that shoot at him or try to chop off his head for accidentally groping his teacher's breasts.
Eighth, it's because she is benevolent to a fault. She didn't blame Ichika at all for her situation. Most girls I know, both real and otherwise, would despise him for existing to cause them pain of such degree as to being forced to be a man to spy on him. Instead, she is the type that feels easy after telling him her secret. She doesn't blame him for finding her secret either (most girls would prostrate themselves or threaten/try to kill Ichika if he discovered their secret. Also, she doesn't blame and otherwise beat him to death for accidentally peeking at her or for showing some interest.
Ninth, it's because she realizes that it's normal for men to be a bit perverted and she uses that fact in a joyful nature to further bolster their relationship rather than to chide Ichika to a crisp. She isn't exactly easy to get though and Ichika recognizes that she is high class - even if her father was an ass and she lived in the country most of her life - and thus will need to admit genuine interest before he gets some. Still, she is the only girl who actually is fine with that idea and won't freak out while totally otherwise wanting it.
Tenth, it's because all the rest suck compared to her. Yep. Everyone of them.
I could go on and on but I have to sleep.. at least I got ten valid reasons on the board, I think. Maybe we could get a running list going? What say you guys? Just keep adding a reason every time you see a new image or whatever of hers and feel butterflies flying in your groin. Doesn't have to be elaborate, simply state your mind, however perverted :3

"Manliness doesn't depend on how many girls are dying to suck your cock off, it depends, only and only, on how awesome is that one lady who stands by your side every day and who you do every night."
Your line is so awesome it needs an anime.

The difference between Charlotte and the other three is that the other three are kind of pushy, tsundere and a bit violent. Charlotte is pure and nice, also cute and she doesn't go pushy like the other three, which is why Charlotte is pure win.

I actually had a pretty cool mental picture of an anime/story with one man refusing to cheat on his one woman no matter what thanks to your post. Thanks for that. By and by if I get bored enough and have some time, I might write something to share
Anyway, Charlotte is awesome and I want a waifu like her.
But the only French people I know are assholes and they claim it's not their fault because quoting them "French society is a harsh society built around sarcasm, leg-pulling and backbiting." WTF?? That so doesn't fit with how Charlotte has acted thus far but if hidden behind the charming sweet girl is a sarcastic manipulator, I am all for it! Fuck that would make her the best combination possible. And so I want a sweet French bitch for my waifu.

"Appreciate quality ingredients and workmanship, but don't be a snob." That was the attitude of lorigoldsby's grandmother, and it's clear to us: her outlook has been passed down through the generations. Lorigoldsby's food is both challenging and down-to-earth; it makes us want to dive in, to try something new. And, like all good food, it's always passed around, shared, and devoured. As lorigoldsby says on her FOOD52 profile page, "I love family style dinners, I love a fancy ladies' luncheon with my wedding china, or a backyard seafood boil to celebrate my husband's birthday...I love to share food with others."
She's certainly shared some of her wonderful food with us – and, as you can see from her profile picture, with all of the viewers of The Martha Stewart Show (as a prize for winning Your Best Late Winter Tart contest with her Tangerine and Almond Shortbread Tart, pictured above)! And not only does lorigoldsby provide us with fantastic food – she gives us some genuine laughs, too. Just browsing through her recipes makes us chuckle; how can we not want to cook These Oysters ROCK! Oysters Rockefeller, Prince's "Raspberry SorBeret" or just call it Dessert Nachos with Fruit Salsa, How Now Brown Cow?, and D.U.M.P. (Don't. Underestimate. My. Peach.) Cake? We feel lucky to have lorigoldsby sharing her food and humor with us – and we, in turn, are delighted to share them with you!
Read our profile Q&A with lorigoldsby below.
What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
Probably rattlesnake or crocodile...wasn't a fan. I will probably try anything except "live" meats or insects...I'm not squeamish, it just doesn't appeal....
What do you cook when home alone?
I love a good BLT with a runny egg on a rustic, toasted bread
Your most treasured kitchen possession:
My kitchenaid stand mixer which was a "birthday, Christmas, Anniversary and don't ask for anything else this year" present from my mom. Right behind that is my Microplane zester--no other tool works as well.
The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
I love to have dinner with two or three couples, I love the quarterly birthday luncheons for my 12 girlfriends, but my husband's birthday/our anniversary is usually a blow-out celebration and I love each type of entertaining, because it lets me flex a different type of "Cooking Muscle"...The small parties allow me to have a thought out menu with courses...the ladies' birthday lunch always challenges the latent pastry chef in me...these ladies have their sweet tooth and have such high expectations of me! And the family and friend blow-outs, well those are just fun...lots of friends, finger food and a good cocktail--what more does one need?

Chief executive and company founder Tony Lacavera is stepping down at Wind Mobile, the wireless carrier said Friday, with the bulk of his stake being acquired by European conglomerate VimpelCom Ltd., which is assuming full control of the Canadian entity.
[np_storybar title="Rogers CEO's slow deals game could pay off" link="https://business.financialpost.com/2013/01/17/rogers-ceos-slow-deals-game-could-pay-off/"%5DWho says Nadir Mohamed, the cerebral chief executive of Rogers Communications Inc., isn't wired to make deals? Continue reading. [/np_storybar]
For Mr. Lacavera, the departure will cap a bumpy three-year run at the top of the high-profile upstart that aimed to shake up a $19-billion mobile market still dominated by three well-entrenched giants in Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp.
But Mr. Lacavera says with Wind now on a stable footing, it is time to step aside and focus on a new venture.
"The management is stable, the network is stable, the stores, everything is on a stable growth track and as an entrepreneur I'm comfortable now turning it over to operational management," he said in an interview.
Initially backed by Egyptian mobile behemoth Orascom Telecom, the Canadian startup faced unprecedented scrutiny from regulators followed by a protracted legal scrap with competitors which was finally quashed last spring by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Changes to Canadian telecom laws last year allowing foreigners to own telecom operators with less than 10% overall market share spurred Wind's present backer Amsterdam-based VimpelCom to take control of the carrier.
Mr. Lacavera will retain an economic interest in the company, while receiving an undisclosed amount of cash as well as regaining full control of Globalive Communications, the startup he used to launch Wind in 2009.
The transaction is subject to government approval.
Though the carrier has grown to become the fourth-largest provider in the country — eclipsing rival startup Mobilicity and the wireless units of provincial telcos like SaskTel and MTS Allstream in Manitoba — Wind has struggled to hit key targets it confidently predicted at the time of launch.
As an entrepreneur I'm comfortable now turning it over to operational management
The most glaring is the significant shortfall in subscribers, which stand at 600,000 or nearly two thirds less than the 1.5 million customers Wind expected to have by this point.
Mr. Lacavera shifted Wind's strategy in late 2011 to a model focused on "postpaid" customers, more closely following the behaviour of the incumbents. The strategy, which subsidizes smartphones in order for customers to avoid the high upfront cost of a device, has led to better subscriber growth, analysts say, but the new entrants as a group have yet to attain the market share observers estimated they would a few years ago.
Mr. Lacavera will remain acting chairman and CEO until the deal is closed and there is no new chief executive named at present, though current chief operating officer Pietro Cordova, who was moved from Wind Italy last spring, may be installed by VimpelCom.
Comment from the European conglomerate was not immediately available. VimpelCom acquired Cairo-based Orascom in late 2010.
Mr. Lacavera partnered with Orascom founder Naguib Sawiris in 2008, agreeing to take a controlling voting stake and minority economic interest in Wind's parent, Globalive Wireless Management Corp. The move was necessary at the time to comply with Canada's foreign-investment restrictions in telecom.
For Mr. Lacavera, the 38-year-old will stay on as honourary chair while turning attention toward a new venture fund called Globalive Capital, which will invest in domestic technology, media and telecom businesses.
"There's a desperate need for telecom media and technology venture capital in this country. There's no significant growth capital and real risk aversion," he said.
"There's tons of venture capital for early-stage mining and resources, but there's nothing for TMT [telecom, media, technology]. I'm going to fix that over the next five years."

E Ink display at IFA -- where are the upgrades for readers?
Reposted from the blog E Ink / E Read.
Is anyone else wondering if the new Kindle will actually feature an upgraded E Ink screen? We have been using the same Pearl display in all of the major readers since 2010.
(start post)
E Ink displays their latest concepts, but is there a new eReader display in there somewhere?
I recently posted about my love/hate relationship with the Authors Guild, and since all the articles I have read lately are giving me cause to rant, I thought I would detail some of my concerns with the E Ink Corporation. You may have noticed from the title of my blog, E Ink / E Read, that my reading life exists on an almost exclusively E Ink platform. I love E Ink screens. The Amazon Kindle literally changed my life, and without the E Ink screen, I dont think I would have the passion for literature and reading that I do today. I watched the technology grow from the early, brownish-tinged Sony PRS 500 screen, to the beautiful E Ink Pearl display released on the Amazon Kindle 3. With each update, my eReading experience became richer, sharper, and better than before. But in the past two years, E Ink displays have been missing something major: an UPGRADE. Perhaps you didnt notice, but the E Ink Pearl display featured in all of todays major readers (Sony, Nook, Kobo, ect) has not been improved on since July 28, 2010. Two and a half years have gone by without a single upgrade. This is an extraordinary amount of time in the tech world. When the Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, and Nook Touch were released, E Ink apparently had nothing new up its sleeves. Barnes & Noble even had to create their own Best Text font rendering technology to improve the contrast and definition of their displays, with no help from E Ink. Amazon.com didnt even bother to try. Their Kindle 4/Touch screens actually looked worse than the Kindle 3.
As we approach Thursdays Amazon/Kindle press conference, I am hoping for a shift in this E Ink stagnation. Unfortunately, the latest E Ink Corporation display at IFA-Berlin (see video above) doesnt give me much hope. E Ink always takes a booth at all the major tech shows, and videos made by attendees are posted on YouTube. The E Ink booth at IFA contains more of the same junk prototypes and eccentric ideas that all of the others have featured in the past year. E Ink spokesperson Sriram Peruvemba also let slip a telling sign that E Ink has no overt intentions of looking toward the future when it comes to their focus on eReader displays. As Sri was showing off the new Triton 2 display (Triton is E Inks first attempt at producing color E Ink screens for eReaders; the Triton 1 was widely panned as costly and mediocresee the jetBook Color) he commented:
This is the Triton 2 example. What we did here was to increase the color saturation, we increased the size of the pixels. So once you increase the size of the pixels, theyre not really that suitable for reading because you want much smaller pixels, but this size pixel . . . work[s] perfectly fine for signage-type applications.
Signage-type applications. He went on to comment that he expected people to view the Triton 2 display from a few feet away, and that the colors look much brighter and more vivid the further away you stand. Thats great if you want to use color E Ink for a poster-sized advertisement, but how about the jetBook Color? Im sure the students and color eReader enthusiasts who currently put up with the faded and washed out Triton display would be grateful for an upgrade. jetBook will sell more readers, and E Ink would gain more color customers. But no. E Ink is devoting their second generation Triton display to signage-type applications. If you dont know what they are talking about, dont worry. Almost none of their extra-eReader ideas have made it to market.
Take the following presentation for example. Here E Ink debuts E Ink binocular displays, sidewalk displays, traffic lights, box labels (yes, thats right, box labels), and used cellphone collectors . . . Thats just cracking the surface. Yes, their displays are innovative and power-saving, and I dont fault them for trying to expand their business, but how about just making a few upgrades to your substandard, outdated, and outperformed E Ink eReader displays? Take a look:
With the release of the iPad 3′s retina display, and the Google Nexus 7, E Ink is falling well behind the competition when it comes to offering a high-definition eReading experience. More readers are turning to tablets, even though LCD screens are a big step down when it comes to eye strain (the new iPad might be getting better with this). Will E Ink stop fooling around with binocular buttons and grocery store coupons, and start providing some real upgrades in E Ink technology?

Why do you feel that an upgrade in any product must be based on time rather than a genuine necessity for improvement? The current displays are not problematic, they are not being complained about. They work well.
I am quite happy with my devices, I cannot see any area concerning the display that needs improving. I think that you are being unrealistic and somewhat disingenuous.

Sure, DarkScribe, the current Pearl display is functional, but so are the displays on the iPad 1, and the archaic Sony PRS 500. Technological advances are often not based on necessities.
I have no problems reading the text on older E Ink displays, but if I could have a choice between the Pearl display with 16 shades of grey, and the 505 display with 6, I would choose the device with clearer, sharper, more paper-like contrast every time. Technology is all about progress, and E Ink reader displays have made none. The focus of E Ink should be on making displays with whiter backgrounds, higher pixel density, and more shades of grey if they want to compete with tablet popularity. E Ink displays have the ability to look outstanding, rather than satisfactory.
Also, if eReader companies are going to upgrade their devices, wouldn't common sense dictate that the screen resolution should update as well? Should we just be "satisfied" with our devices, or should they continue to improve, regardless of need? The iPad 3 didn't need to feature a retina display, but I can't believe you would think it unnecessary after viewing text on it.
And I would disagree that "no one is complaining about it," many tech bloggers and eReader enthusiasts have been griping about lack of display advancement. That's why companies like Onyx Boox are developing HD readers like the i62 HD in hopes that they can generate business from readers who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
Is it disingenuous to expect an upgrade after 2.5 years? You must not be very familiar with technology standards.

You can't say consumers use iPad3 and Nexus7 for e-reading, no backlit screen is suitable for e-reading, regardless of pixel density.
The new Kindle E Ink e-readers hopefully use the plastics based flexible and unbreakable E Ink screen, if they do, the new Kindle can be ultra thin, ultra light and basically unbreakable, that would be awesome.
But just as the new Epson or others new higher pixel density controllers for E Ink, the flexible E Ink requires significant mass production to be mass produced. That kind of is logic, so it's to be seen how soon there can be some significant large mass production done on those fronts.
Signage is a gigantic trillion-dollar market, with hundreds of millions of advertising billboards and posters worldwide, I don't see why it should be a problem for E Ink to try to deliver solutions for that market. Doesn't it sound awesome that advertising billboards can potentially just use color E Ink in the future? Also, what's wrong with supermarkets using E Ink for centrally and instantly being able to manage pricing of everything on the store shelves.
I also really like E Ink's suggestion to use the back sides of smartphones as an E Ink screen to display data and use the back sides of smartphones for much more comfortable and much lower power consumption for reading any text.
So really, there is only a few brands like Amazon that have the power to get the component makers to launch the mass manufacturing of new generations of screen technologies, but who knows, it might still be too early for flexible plastics based E Ink to really be mass produced at the quantities that Amazon requires, so perhaps Amazon has to stay on Pearl E Ink still for now, perhaps with a new thinner Neonode IR touch implementation for the touch kind.

The iPad 3 screen is more than suitable for long form reading, and many readers are turning to tablets due to upgraded screen resolution. The iPad, the Nexus 7, the Asus Transformer Infinity, and the new Acer have all focused on developing high resolution displays, and consumers are responding. The retina display has caused a major surge in iPad-as-reader popularity.
I would take E Ink over LCD any day, but if eReaders hope to compete, they should think about making some real improvements in screen resolution. Instead they are focusing all of their energy on outlandish prototypes that never make it to market. Have you seen an eReader sign lately? Or an E Ink power drill? I'm not saying they shouldn't expand and make money, but do you think we could at least get a 2.0 version of the Pearl display?
I believe E Ink's inaction is part of the reason why reader sales have slumped:

So many people have EInk readers now that the upgrade market is significant. I can't see why a Sony T1 owner would upgrade to a T2 for example, so Sony is largely targeting new EInk adopters.
A built in front light is an upgrade promoter and so is a higher resolution screen. A higher contrast screen might get some to upgrade, but Pearl's contrast is perhaps good enough already.
A flexible screen would be important to institutional buyers for schools, but would not be a upgrade promoter in itself. However Charbax's "ultra thin, ultra light and basically unbreakable" device would be awesome.

Yes I think that your attitude is disingenuous. Upgrading just because you feel that it is time for something new is disingenuous, as is suggesting that dedicated eReaders are in a "race" with tablets. They are two entirely different devices, designed for different purposes. Like many people I own a tablet - several - and a dedicated eReader. I don't browse, write or play games on an eReader and I don't read on a tablet. I know that some do, but most people who buy dedicated eReaders don't go back to reading on a tablet.

Agreed DarkScribe..... Many people are happy with having a tablet and an ereader. Most have ereaders mainly for just reading books. The eink market is naturally smaller and geared toward readers of which population wise there are not many.... I keep hearing a call for color eink but really.. what is ther realty of that happening? From what little I know of eink it is not an easy thing to do.... How about large eink screens to replace lcd monitors....There are already eink watches....i

I personally would upgrade if they offered a higher contrast screen. While the screen now is ok, it could be improved. I know people who are not interested in e-ink readers now because they find the screens are too grey.

PRS-T1/T2 example
DarkScribe, do you still listen to cassettes? I'm betting you are a cassette man.
E Ink devices already cater to a small market of dedicated readers. This market will only get smaller, and more frustrated with the technology, if progress is not made that caters to improving their experience. How many Sony PRS-T1 users do you think excitedly rushed out to buy the PRS-T2? Why have eReader sales plunged over the past year? Both E Ink, and the major reader producers, need to continue to upgrade their devices to secure interest in their market.
I am not comparing tablets to eReaders Hidari, but I am saying that more people are buying tablets because of this new no-frills eReader attitude, expressed by DarkScribe, that has stifled eReader development. Wallcraft has it exactly right. In order for E Ink to remain relevant in the bells-and-whistles tablet world, they need to make the needed improvements that will make it stand out. An HD screen would certainly help, and existing users will appreciate the upgrade.
Amazon will show the veracity of my argument on Thursday. I am almost certain that "higher contrast" or HD screen technology will be apart of their Kindle 5 pitch. If HD screens are just unneeded, then why would they incorporate this advance?
I am not the only one making this argument about E Ink stagnation:

@Charmain - that is my argument precisely! Nothing more, nothing less.
E Ink screens are grey, text is blurry, and there is plenty of room for improvement. When people are debating as to whether they should buy an iPad or a Kindle, they will see that Apple boasts the retina display, while the Kindle has the same old E Ink screen that came out in 2010. New device users who don't care as much about backlit displays will pick the iPad, while E Ink lovers will grudgingly hope for something better, unless you are totally content with what you have.

What I find strange here is the idea that innovation is just waiting for need. Sure, a market is required for funding, but it doesn't guarantee that something appears when it's wanted. If no one has figured out how to do something, that's all there is to it. If no one knows how to increase e-ink pixel density at the right price point, it won't happen. If the no one knows how to increase e-ink contrast at the right price point, it won't happen. No amount of demanding it as a consumer will bring it about if the technology's not there.

When an eReader can match the resolution of a printed page - why is higher resolution needed? Printed pages are not hi-res. As for new eInk technology - why wasn't the colour eInk screen - released in 2010 - a success? Because people who were serious about reading didn't care. They were happy with what they had - the Pearl screen. Using a colour screen for reading novel would make as much sense as printing a paperback in coloured ink.
You are clearly determined to regard tablets and dedicated eReaders as competing with each other. This is your prerogative, luckily those involved in developing and manufacturing the devices don't agree with you. You are also ignoring other issues to do with sustained reading on active (light emitting) screens that don't affect eInk screens. There has been quite a bit of science associated with these problems made public recently. Many, if not most keen readers will read in the evening before going to sleep. Science is showing that to do so on a screen that emits light rather than reflects it is actually damaging to the body's sleep patterns and negatively affects health.

It seems to me that the major area e-readers should improve is their operating systems and/or firmwares. While the current generation e-ink screens are, from my point of view, good enough - and a significant improvement compared to first gen e-ink - e-reading devices are still rather sluggish and slow to operate (and this is definitely not to blame exclusively on the somewhat lower refresh rates of e-ink screens). The lack of proper pdf support in most (all?) e-ink readers is another issue. In these areas tablets (and smartphones) offer significant advantages over current e-ink devices. Manufacturers should strive to bridge this gap.

Mancini: I'm not to blame for Man City failure
Roberto Mancini believes Manchester City would still be in the title race and the Champions League if he had secured all of his main transfer targets last summer.
The City manager wanted to bring Robin van Persie, Eden Hazard, Daniele De Rossi and Javi Martinez to the Etihad Stadium. But he missed out on all of them and City signed Jack Rodwell, Javi Garcia, Scott Sinclair, Matija Nastasic and Maicon instead.
Only Nastasic has been a success for the defending champions, who are 15 points behind league leaders Manchester United and crashed out of the Champions League after only taking three points from six group games.
But while Mancini has admitted United have won the Premier League, he thinks City would be challenging their local rivals at the top of the division if they had done the business he wanted.
"Yeah, sure, 100%," he said. "Probably we would be on the top and could win the second title and probably we would be in the Champions League quarter-final.
"We had a chance to get three or four players who could improve our team but we didn't in the end. Now it is finished."
Instead of signing for City, De Rossi stayed at Roma, Martinez moved to Bayern Munich, Hazard joined Chelsea and Van Persie signed for Manchester United.
"These players made a difference in their teams this year," Mancini added.
The City manager believes a lack of incision in attack is the reason they are so far behind United, citing the draws with West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal and the defeat at Sunderland.
"This year the difference is only the goals we didn't score," he said. "The difference if we score maybe 15 goals more, probably we would be top. We are missing important goals in games we deserve to win easily: West Ham, Chelsea away, Sunderland, Arsenal at home. We lost a lot of points because we didn't score enough goals. This is the difference."

Burger & Lobster Mayfair
Probably London's cheapest lobster in one of London's priciest areas - and no stinting on quality.
Please note, Burger and Lobster's menu is now full a la carte and prices have changed. Time Out Food editors, January 2018.
Don't be put off by the gimmicky concept or swanky addresses of the nine branches of this chain; this sleek eatery represents remarkably good value for money… if you order the lobster. As you walk through the door in the Mayfair branch (an attractively converted pub), a blackboard tells you all you need to know about the menu: you may order a lobster (boiled, grilled or in a brioche roll with mayonnaise), or you may have a burger, all served with a substantial and tasty salad and french fries, for £16. The simplicity of the pricing – while absurd for what is a fairly average burger – cuts neatly past the usual 'market price' for lobster, which can easily work out to over £30 elsewhere in town. The grilled version got top marks on our visit: the lobster was a fresh, quality specimen, perfectly cooked – and tasted divine dipped in drawn butter. For dessert, there's either an entirely average chocolate brownie or a delicious lime mousse that offers a tart finishing touch to a satisfying meal. If you'd like to make an evening of it, do: the bar has a range of fine cocktails and a decent selection of beers on tap.
To make a great burger you have to start with great beef. Our Angus beef is 'Best in Class' from Nebraska. Our beef, which is three parts of the bull blended, is full of flavour.
The next step: the grill-master. Our burgers are grilled and cooked to perfection. This is something we worked really hard to achieve and our grill-masters take very seriously. Our open flame grilling adds another layer of B&L goodness. Combined with our seasoning, specialty sauce, toppings and classic bun, this is a burger for the books! The end result is a burger that has received a tremendous amount of love made for you.
The Lobster:
The Journey of our lobsters starts in Nova Scotia, where the waters are deep and the lobsters are flavourful. Regardless of what Burger & Lobster location you are at, lobsters are flow in throughout the week to provide optimal freshness. Each B&L location hosts the lobsters in one of the most technologically advanced lobster holding systems, aka The Lobster Spa. This stress-free environment that mimics the ocean allows the lobster to maintain its flavour. Whether you are a grilled-lobster person or steamed-lobster person we do not discriminate and we do both exceptionally! You will find our fresh lobster to be one of the most juicy and flavourful you ever had.

After 4 tries to book a table for 8 people, we finally got the good news! There will be room for all of us in 1 month time... and they mentioned about to meet a condition to spend at lest £35 + service per person, although the menu is set to £20... is not that a bit abusive? That reply changed the impression we first got of the place and it does not seem longer attractive to us... Anyone with the same experience?
I have been around the world and I have learned the truth about mankind everywhere: we all want to eat lobster, and we want it for a fair price without fear of humiliation or an unmentionably high surprise in the bill. Thank you B&L for understanding our species and serving consistently good specimens for 20 quid. Clients, be sure to go at an off-peak time because you are too fabulous and important to stand around queuing. I'm hooked but I noticed the service is starting to get a bit cheeky chucking in a few charges for things that used to be free.
long hours waiting and (few) overpriced food. Never more.
Shame about the wait and the rude and unapologetic member of staff at the door (the general manager of all people!) at the door, as it could've been a really nice experience.
I'd love to have been able to rate this place properly, but the absolute shambles that was their booking arrangements didn't allow. Arrived at 7pm, was 8th on the list and the person in front of me was told about 90mins till a table. Couldn't get a space at bar, so went to a recommended local bar and went back 1hr40mins later and not only no table in sight, they were operating 2 lists and I was 6th on one and didn't feature on the other. Was then told I probably wouldn't get a table that night. Despite all the raving about the food & concept, if they don't sort this out they'll soon fail. We weren't the only people ranting at their organisation - there were at least 4 other groups all experiencing the same. Shambolic is my only review
love the food
Love it!
Very busy but we were seated immediately, friendly staff. The lobster's what everyone's here for, and it didn't disappoint. Brilliant for 20 quid.

If you like lobster, then this is the place to go. I had the lobster and it was a great portion for £20, arrived promptly and was delicious! Yes, the no reservation policy can get in your way since no one really wants to wait for 3 hours for dinner, so I suggest to get there before 6 when there is no queue and you can walk right in. Cannot comment on the burger part since, who's gonna pay 20 quid for a burger when Lobster is on the menu! (just my opinion) The cocktails are a must since they are paired with each meal you choose, was a great experience with friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.
Friendly staff. Great service. Great food! I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good old lobster/burger with beer! Bear in mind, it gets extremely busy for dinner (Soho).
Went to the City branch last night. Don't get anything but lobster otherwise you are being ripped off. The lobster, and the lobster roll were excellent. The roll itself was like french toast - amazing. The fries were thin McDonalds style, and not many of them. The salad was straight out of a tescos 'Mixed lettuce' packet. Meat Liquor/Mission/Market et al is far better value as the sides there are massive and they don't charge service automatically. Lastly the staff at B&L were kind of dickish. Friendly enough, and prompt, but trying way too hard to be hip & cool & irreverent.
Quick service and friendly staff. The lobster roll and the grilled lobster are both FAB but the burger is a disappointment for £20!
The lobster was great - but £20 for a burger is rather steep when you can get a burger of equal quality from places like GBK.
Went to the SOHO branch, had to wait for 45mins on a Monday night. When comes to the food, it's really just Burger and Lobster, the grilled lobster with Garlic dressing was DELICIOUS. Burger was only average, however, if any ladies are on diet, recommend the Lobster roll, fresh and light.
Very unwelcoming when asking for a table and claiming that there would have not been one for days... Agree with other comments on the bad way of dealing with reservations and table requests at the entrance, at least for the Soho place... Disappointing!
Amazing! Went last night for the first time and would go back again (and again)! Having done some research our party knew that a long wait of 1.5 - 2 hours for a table is to be expected, so someone went early and put our name down for a table. We then all met and pub and had a drink while we waited for a call that our table was ready. In the end we only waited 1.5hours.. not bad. When we arrived we were seated promptly, and our drinks orders taken quickly. The service was quick and staff pretty good. But what we were there for is the lobster - and it was worth it! Delicious and huge, i was stuffed after the meal and £20 for lobster, fries and salad is very good value. The ambiance is great, a real buzzy, fun vibe. The waitress spent a few mins with us at the end answering all our questions about where they source the lobster etc - very interested. I will be back and would recommend Burger and Lobster. As long as you are prepared for a long wait for a table, then it is a extremely fun (and delicious) night.
Fret no more, there is a brand new opening of B&L on Dean Street with reservations and is at least twice the size of the Mayfair branch. So no more ridiculous queueing and the same reasonable prices for excellent food. I came in on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Staff were top notch and attentive. Service was speedy, and needless to say food was immaculate. Partner and I opted for the lobster roll to share as a starter and finished with the burger and lobster. Unfortunately they don't do the burger rare, but it was still juicy and full of flavour although I think next time we'll just go for the lobster roll whole grilled lobster which were the real stunners. £20 for a lobster, salad and fries, means I definitely can't complain! They have some top-shelf booze on offer too, although the cocktails weren't particularly exciting and coming in at £9.50 a pop.
I am not sure that people actually get this place, or what it's about. So no bookings, annoying, but you know that before you get there. They tell you how long the wait will be, and you don't have to wait in a queue like MeatLiquor or other similar places. In my experience, the staff were great, friendly, even in what is a totally frantic atmosphere all night. If you don't want to wait, don't bother going. I waited for 2.5 hours, and although i'd rather not have done, and just walked in for a reservation i'd made, that's the deal, that's what is making you all want to go there in the first place. As for the pricing, think about it. At £20 for a full lobster, they can't be making much margin....at £20 for a burger, they must be making excessive margin, and therein lies the reason they can offer a whole lobster for £20 in MAYFAIR!!! I think it's genuis, i wish i'd thought of it. We had all three, and i think the Lobster Roll, although nice, is the least exciting prospect. Great simple well cooked food, witty service and so reasonable for that area. Its sometimes nice not to have a choice when there is so much on offer in London. People suggesting going to Nobu or wherever else are missing the point. What they have created there is hype, backed up by decent food at decent prices. Maybe it's not the best food in London, but they have everyone talking about it, and queues every night, as well as hosts of copycats like Hix's Tramshed who only serve two of three things. Like I said, i wish i'd thought of it...
Seated for lunch today as soon as we arrived, at around 1pm! Friendly and fast service, good food - lobster and burger both great. Would go back.
Come on peeps... If you don't want to wait go early or elsewhere. Four of us went on Thursday we got there at 6pm and were seated in 5 minutes. All the staff including the doorman where perfectly friendly and our waitress was excellent. Great cocktails, amazing lobster rolls but stingy salads.
We placed our names on the 2hrs wait list.We killed 1.5 hrs in a local cafe that shut soon after. It was freezing out so we opted to wait at the bar. Waited nearly 1.5 more hrs & we were 6th on the list but well more than 6 groups seated first. Lobster was good, burger av = not worth the wait!
Agree with all the comments regarding the waiting times, but its difficult to argue with the economics. I'm sure every restaurant's dream is to be at 100% capacity everyday. And they need it, £20 for lobster is great value - forget the burger - there are better for much less. The lobster tasted great and I thought the chips were great. Big low point for me was the dessert - cheesecake - waiters didn't tell us it was effectively a big tub of cheese mouse with a few disgestive crumbs - when we were all expecting big slaps of american baked cheese CAKEs.
It's AWESOME!!!
Sadly the same old problem with the lack of a reservations scheme ruined our lunch experience. We were told (as others have been) that if we turned up at 12.30, we would have a table in about 15 mins. It was not the case. Still standing around 50 minutes later. During this time we were repeatedly told that the table would be ready in 5 mins. I complained to a waitress and saw the manager slink past ignoring me and my complaint. Burger was very good...but unless you have all the time in the world (student / pensioner?) I would strongly urge you to give this place a miss until they organise a proper reservations system.
Burger and Lobster. Too good to be queue? Billed as having a 'no reservation' policy, we were surprised to find the centrally located Burger and Lobster absent of a queue at 7.30pm on a Saturday night. The taste buds were watering at this stroke of luck, especially as we had been in the area since 4pm sampling the delights of Shepherd Market. The previous week, Randall and Aubin, Brewer Street, had softened our hour-long wait with a glass of champagne and plenty of French hospitalité. (As you would expect from a restaurant with a no reservation policy). Upon entering Burger and Lobster, the taste buds started to whither with the news that there was a three-hour wait. Yes, 180 minutes. How so with no reservations and no queue? And therein lies the problem. Front of house, we were advised that we could leave our mobile telephone number and be called when a table was free. Hmm. Isn't that what we call a reservation!? As the waiting list was longer than the trip to Canada where the lobsters are sourced, we decided to try another route. The bar. The bar area 'which doesn't have a wait ' and serves food from the quirky menu was pretty busy as you'd expect. Having waited 40 minutes with a nicely made cocktail, we found ourselves craning over fellow diners to see if they had finished slurping on their lobster claws and were ready to vacate. No such luck as a rather zealous American couple that had been 'waiting way longer that us' ousted us. Subsequently, a waitress with a stack of metal lobster trays dropped them on my partner's calf without hesitation and failed to apologise or raise alarm. Nice. Upon exit, we were placated with a 'did you not manage to eat' smirk and continued into the heart of Soho for a proper pop-up experience. If you like to eat with a hungry audience craning over your shoulders and enjoy an atmosphere lacking charm and hospitality, this could be the place for you. In summary, we have no reservations in avoiding this establishment.
My friend Sarah fancied the guy on the door so was happy with the 45 minute wait. Meant she could sit & the bar & have a little perv. He was a nice firiendly lad from Tipperary (real shame about the mullet). Jolene's pre dinner speech was charged with emotion. There were tears of sadness owing to the length of it followed by tears of joy when she began to round things up. It began as a lament to her Irish exiled friends in London, but ended up being a toast to a man in Hong Kong (Diarmuid Kelly) who would rather play an invisible fiddle in the dark than live a life of rationality & logic. Fiona fetl the table water could have done with a little less chlorine & perhaps a little splash of vodka. Food was excellent as was the wine (hic).
Knowing how popular this place is and attracted by the excellent reviews, we decided to go start waiting at Burger & Lobster (B&L) at 630pm last night for a table. I expected a 2 hour wait which was what the hostess informed us would be when we arrived at 6.30pm. They recommended we go to a bar nearby for drinks and wait for their call once a table is ready. Off we went to Tempo - a bar/restaurant close by (oddly with the Tempo business card with B&L printed on the back- is B&L getting a commission?) After 2 hours and 20 mins and still no phone call, one of us headed back to B&L. Was assured that it would be another 20 mins only. Well, as we have already waited this long. Another 20 mins later, still nothing, we all headed back to B&L. Very stressed manager tells us the table meant for us is right here but the people just won't leave. Urmm it could be because they have just ordered more drinks and are still eating. Eventually we get a table, having waited THREE & A HALF HOURS. The food arrives 15 mins after ordering. We were done with eating in 50 mins after a 3 and a half hour wait. Food - was very nice even if burger we ordered well done was rare. We were too hungry to send it back and just took it. Lobsters were lovely. Fries were nothing special. Salad was tasty with very flavorsome tomatoes. Service during the meal - very harassed and rushed - staff were clearly stressed out. Not sure why was there were so many of them. When we finished, we were asked if we wanted desert which we didn't but we were about to order more drinks when the bill arrived on our table (we hadn't asked for it). Not great considering the long wait and we had only been there for 50 mins. We asked service to be taken off the bill due to the overall bad service and experience of 3 and a half hour wait. The waiter said he had to tell his manager. We expected he would at least come to speak to us. Apparently he was too busy. In conclusion, food was nice but not worth 3 and a half hour wait which by the way I don't believe is the real waiting time as the waiter we complained to seemed shocked when we told him. My guess is that they forgot about us or the first come first served queuing system isn't all that it seems (ie. some special people can push in). Also, don't tell you customers the table will be 20 minutes when the table you are thinking of giving them is still eating and just ordered more drinks. Or simply, just taking reservations. All in all, I won't be going back which is a shame as the food was decent.
Very busy atmosphere, staff were very friendly and the food came very quick. I had the burger which I asked for it to be cooked medium but it was quite rare so I didn't finish it. My friend had the lobster roll which she enjoyed and we both enjoyed the free extra trips. Definitely going to come back service was excellent. It's better to book a table as some people can wait for up to two hours.
We went last night to the famed Burger and Lobster having read the reviews and more importantly because my wife was dying to go to it. We even talked another loving couple into joining us on this special of special nights : Valentine's. I had found out that you could not book but the chirpy lady on the telephone assured me that if we turned up at 6pm and put our names down that we would be sure to find a table. This we did and when we arrived the restaurant was already packed but our anxieties were immediately put to rest when the doorman told me there was a 90 minute wait, took my mobile phone number told me he would ring me when the table was ready. Perfect. Dinner and 7.30pm and our expectations were growing from the sight of the overflowing clientele. We went for a happy drinks session in the basement of the superb George just down the road, until we were summoned by a telephone call asking me whether I still wanted my table. We drove over with tummies rumbling with hunger and expectation. When we arrived the door man was impatient and surly. The lady who showed us to the bar explaining that our table had ordered the bill but had not paid was not much better. Now we were walking through the restaurant we saw that it was indeed stuffed to capacity. Tables and chairs had been jammed into every possible place. The staff pushed by us hurriedly as we waited not sure where to stand as there was no room at the bar. We were clearly an inconvenience. When we sat down our waiter was actually very friendly and took our orders for food and drinks. We waited for a long time for something to materialise. There was none of the tasty bread and butter that the sister restaurant Goodmans serves its customers, but this was a minor niggle if everything else was great which it was not. The drinks never came until I called over our waiter and asked if they were going to arrive before our food came and his answer was 'I think so.' The did, by literally 15 seconds. The burger was ok but lacked the meatiness of Goodmans. The fries were crisp but were no where near as good as Goodmans thick cut chips (let alone those with truffle oil). The lobster was nice enough. No one ordered the lobster sandwich as a quick look round at other tables showed it to be insubstantial and not a popular choice. Desert consisted of a choice of chocolate moose or lime moose. Both were bland and served in what appeared to be mass produced little cups. We left feeling disappointed and in my wife's case slightly queezy. It's apparent success is quite mistifying. Perhaps it shows how desperate people are for a 'reasonably priced' up market fast food restaurant in the area. If you want character, great ambience, friendly staff and the best burgers and chips in town as well as some amazing sides including lobster mac cheese, and also truffle mac cheese then Goodmans is for you. The burgers and chips are also cheaper. It is simply the best.
The food is good, but is it worth the nearly 2.5hr wait to get a table on a friday night? Consider this place is owned by Goodman's who serve equally as good burgers and accept reservations and i think not. The fad will fade.
What a great idea! I enjoyed the food very much, I tried all three dishes. The staff where all very friendly and looked after us extremely well. Great drinks selection. I'll definitely be going again.

As you probably have heard, we are in the middle of the most severe seasonal influenza epidemic in almost a decade. Perhaps you are wondering if there is anything that you can and should do about it for your own personal health and that of those you care about.
Many people use the term flu loosely, such that every cold or diarrheal illness is commonly referred to as the flu.
To be clear, there are many viruses circulating this time of year that are not influenza virus. What typically sets influenza virus apart is its severity.
Influenza virus usually hits quick and hard with fairly sudden onset of fatigue, muscle aches, headache, high fever and chills as well as nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat and cough. Some folks also experience stomach upset with vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Flu virus spreads from one person to the next through contact with respiratory secretions think tears, boogers and spit. These things wind up on the hands when you touch your face and on everything else when you forget to clean your hands.
Because flu virus can live for up to 12 hours on objects such as countertops and doorknobs, the unsuspecting person after you whether co-worker or family member may be the next flu victim. As a potential victim, consider that the virus needs to get to the eyes, mouth or nose to get in your body.
Pearl No. 1: Dont touch your face, at least not without washing your hands first.
Pearl No. 2: Whether you are sick and dont want to spread your illness or well and dont want to get sick, wash your hands often.
Coughs and sneezes propel tiny droplets up to 2 to 3 feet unless covered. If you are the sneezer, it helps to cover that sneeze with your sleeve or elbow. If you are the potential victim, then stay out of the line of fire by keeping a distance of about 3 feet.
You might be asking if its too late to get vaccinated for influenza. The short answer is no. While some estimates indicate that flu activity presently is peaking, influenza season can last well into March or even April.
Flu vaccine is relatively effective, providing immunity in up to two-thirds of those vaccinated. In general, the vaccine supply this year has been good, and the vaccine is known to cover the most severe strains circulating this season. Vaccine comes in two varieties and several strengths.
Inactivated flu vaccine is the kind you get in a shot. Despite widespread belief to the contrary, it does not cause the flu. Live attenuated vaccine comes in a nasal spray and contains a weakened live virus that is safe for most older children and adults.
It cannot be given to very young children, the elderly or those with certain chronic health conditions.
Young children require a two-dose series of flu vaccine one month apart during the first year they are vaccinated and then a booster dose each year thereafter.
Elderly adults benefit from a higher dose of inactivated flu vaccine.

Ecklund Leads The Melges 32 Nationals After Two Days of Racing
27 July 2008
Jeff Ecklund (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) on USA-32 Star put his best moves on the Melges 32 fleet competing at the 2008 National Championship being held in conjunction with the NYYC Race Week at Newport, presented by Rolex. Ecklund went into the second day of racing seven points behind overnight leader David Hoyt (Stowe, Vt.) on USA-184 Goat. With a great deal of perservering speed and smooth boat handling, Ecklund and his team go into the final day of racing ahead by three.
Day two of the 2008 Melges 32 U.S. National Championship started off with beautiful, warm sunshine, blue skies and a light breeze of 5-6 knots. The first race of the day was all about old rivalries being rekindled mixed in with a lot of new fleet members getting their chance to shine at the top! Race one began on time under glorious conditions with a bearing of 210 degrees and distance of 2 nautical miles. On the start, it was fast as the entire fleet punched the starting line with speed. The breeze was pleasant, now up to 8-10 knots and a much calmer sea state, the right side of the course was favored on the first beat. At the mark Marty Kullman and Mike Carroll (Tampa, Fla.) on USA-131 New Wave rounded first, followed closely by Ecklund and Hoyt.
Downwind it was a feisty battle between Kullman/Carroll and Ecklund with Hoyt constantly creeping in for a piece of the action. Right at the last moment, Ecklund took the lead at the gate, then went right. Kullman/Carroll and Hoyt followed just the same. On the left, Pieter Taselaar (Scarsdale, N.Y.) on USA-169 Bliksem, Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y) on USA-128 Argo and Derek Campbell (Seattle, Wash.) on USA-138 Banshee all gambled on the left side and it paid off. At the final mark of the race, Taselaar jumped into the lead, Carroll rounded second with the Kullman/Carroll team managing to squeeze into third. Next in line was Campbell, then Ecklund. It was a heated race to the finish as Ecklund tried to get ahead of Taselaar on the final run. Taselaar eventually pulled away for the win leaving a four-way fight for second. Hoyt found himself back in the hunt along side of Ecklund, Campbell, Carroll. In the end, Ecklund's speed served him well as he took second, just ahead of Campbell in third. Hoyt was fourth and Carroll got fifth.
Race two was started immediately with a new course of 225 degrees and the wind on the increase. Soon it settled in at a more ideal 10-12 knots. With another clean start Taselaar, Ecklund, Hoyt, Bob Hesse (Elma, N.Y.) on USA-153 Lake Effect and Kate Mullin helming for John Sherlock (Mississauga, Canada) on CAN-134 Arkle all took to the left looking for that shift that would put them out front.
The racing was tight from start to finish with Carroll taking the lead at the first mark, closely followed by Campbell, then Ecklund. Downwind a new rivalry was established between Campbell and Carroll as they match raced into the leeward gate. Carroll took honors going right, Campbell rounded second and Kullman/Carroll split the difference with Ecklund on the right rounding third. For the final upwind beat Ecklund got the best of the fleet as he rounded the top mark in first, followed by Kullman/Carroll in second and Campbell in third. It was a tough battle downwind, but Ecklund pulled ahead for the win. Kullman/Carroll and Campbell finished second and third respectively. Kip Meadows (Rocky Mountain, N.C) on USA-77 roXanne had a fantastic race grabbing a fourth place finish followed by Taselaar in fifth.
Sunday is the final day of racing, where two more races are anticipated.
01.) Jeff Ecklund, Star; 2-7-2-1 = 12
02.) David Hoyt, Goat; 1-1-4-9 = 15
03.) Derek Campbell, Banshee; 5-8-3-3 = 19
04.) Marty Kullman/Mike Carroll, New Wave; 9-4-6-2 = 21
05.) Pieter Taselaar, Bliksem; 13-3-1-5 = 22
06.) Bob Hesse, Lake Effect; 10-2-12-7 = 31
07.) Stephen Pugh, Taboo; 4-6-14-11 = 35
08.) Terry McSweeney, Flat Stanley; 3-10-8-19 = 40
09.) Jason Carroll, Argo; 8-21-5-6 = 40
10.) Kip Meadows, roXanne; 14-14-9-4 = 41

Quick, one handed opening with inner spring assist.Product Specifications:Textured synthetic handle with 3D design and steel liners.Combo window breaker & belt/cord cutter on end of handle.Combo edge, partially serrated blade.Sharpened 440 stainless steel blade with black finish.In-line open lock.Includes pocket / boot clip.8 1/4 in. overall opened, 3 5/8 in. blade, 5 in. closed.How are Spring Assist different from a Gravity Knife or Automatic Switchblade Knife?Gravity or Switch Blade knives feature a button, level, or other type of switch that releases a spring pressure to automatically open the blade. On a Spring Assist knife, there is no separate button or switch. Instead, you apply pressure to part of the blade to begin the opening process. This is usually a small bump of metal which sticks out under the knife, making it fast and comfortable to use. Once you press on that part of the blade, it automatically opens and locks into place. Since the action of opening the knife is started by pressing the blade metal, instead of a button or switch, it is considered to bypass the laws which ban Switch Blade knives.

COLUMBIA — Today a state oversight board will decide whether to hear a challenge to a sand-removal permit issued last month to the property owners' association of the gated community Hilton Head Plantation.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control issued the association a permit on Aug. 8 that allows for the removal of 8,000 cubic yards of sand from a 1.4 acre stretch of shoreline at Park Creek inlet at Pine Island. The permit allows the sand to be moved to a section of Port Royal Sound shoreline between Dolphin Point and Pine Island.
David Schofield of Hilton Head Island wrote to the agency Aug. 13, detailing his concerns and asking officials to reconsider the permit, which is aimed at renourishing a sand berm.
"To the most casual observer it is apparent that with each removal of sand form the tip of Pine Island, less and less accrues, as has been the case with the two removals at the site in 1999 and 2005, when 20,000 cubic feet of sand was removed on each occasion," wrote Schofield in a letter addressed to the wetlands section of the state's Ocean and Coastal Resource Management office within DHEC.
On Thursday the board, which consists of gubernatorial appointees, will meet to receive a briefing from agency staff on a variety of issues and to consider various cases, including whether to grant Schofield's request for a hearing.
If the conference is granted, both sides would argue their position courtroom-style. Then the board would vote on whether to affirm the agency's original decision to grant the permit or whether to order a revision or revoke it entirely.
Along with Schofield's request for final review of the Hilton Head Plantation permit is a request by the group, Neighbors for Clean Air and Healthcare. The organization is asking the DHEC board to reconsider a permit granted to Southeast Renewable Energy for biomass fuel-burning facility plans in Allendale County.
