RISE Sushi Lounge reviews from OpenTable diners
- Worst tasting sushi I haveOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/29/2012Worst tasting sushi I have ever had. Too pricey for what you get. Extremely too much rice on the rolls. Awful
- Our server Chris was fantastic...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/28/2012Our server Chris was fantastic... We will be coming back regularly!Special Features:
- This is a very straight forwardOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/2/2012This is a very straight forward and simple restaurant; which is great but it could use a little zest. Spring rolls are fantastic. Asian Pineapple cocktail is right.Special Features:
- RISE Not Bad At AllOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/30/2012Enjoyed RISE Sushi Lounge. I especially like the fact that there are non-sushi items on the menu since I am not that fond of sushi. Nice specialty bar offerings. Really like the "Asian Pineapple" and the "Ginger not Mary Ann" Will definitely go back time after time.Special Features:
- Food ok, Service was polite slowOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/20/2012The food was good but nothing spectacular. We were there early before a show at the Tabernacle nearby and so it wasn't crowded but service was still slow. The service was polite but never apologized for the slow service. The atmosphere was quiet since there were few eating that early at 5:30 pm. I probably wouldn't go back especially during a busy time as I can't imagine how slow service would be then.
- Good times.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/16/2012Great sushi and other tasty treats. Great service. Our waiter was doing it all from tending bar to keeping up with us all in a timely manner. The Mrs. and i were on a date and it was spot on during our dinner.Special Features:
- Incredible food, great atmosphere!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/28/2012The restaurant was not overly busy, but those that were there seemed to enjoy it immensely. my wife and I were traveling to Atlanta for a conference and this restaurant was a perfect escape, a perfect place to enjoy each others company, and above all, to enjoy amazing, fresh, high quality sushi in a great atmosphere.Special Features:
- The rolls we ordered (2 specialOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/28/2012The rolls we ordered (2 special & not on menu) along with 3 others were good. However, we wouldn't say they "knocked" us out in terms of taste and quality. Seaweed salad wasn't very good and certainly not worth the $7.50 price. A little pricy in terms of sushi cost. Ambiance was good....not sure if I'll be coming back here again. Service (Jake?) was good.....Special Features:
- Really great sushi. . .comparableAjs2929Dined on 4/6/2012Really great sushi. . .comparable with Hawaii!!! Atmosphere was quiet, not too busy & everything was reasonably priced. Service was good, even got a free round of beers, just because. We will definitely go back!!!Special Features:
- Food was great. Ordered SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/23/2012Food was great. Ordered Sushi rolls on recommendation of server and they were great. Service was off a little. Took a long time to get noticed at host desk. No one was there. NCAA Tournament was going on next door so may have been in recovery mode.
- Service was lousy. IrraticOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/18/2012Service was lousy. Irratic waiter. Main course for 4 of us was served at four fifferent times.
- Awesome placeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/3/2012I went with a friend who is also a lover of great food. We ordered the sushi and sashimi platter to share between us. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of food. Everything was very fresh; compliments to the chef. We both ordered dessert I had the banana spring roll, they had the tempura ice cream; both were delicious. The service was swift and professional, but not too overbearing.Special Features:
- Rise was amazing. I went forOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2012Rise was amazing. I went for Valentine's Day and had some of the best sushi I have ever tasted. The salmon is incredible! It is a little pricy, but with sushi you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend this place. The sinks are awesome too!Special Features:
- Very fresh seafood and inventiveJillDined on 2/10/2012Very fresh seafood and inventive ideas/flavors. The rice was a little mushy and it's a bit pricey. I realize it's downtown Atlanta, but sushi rice is sort of the foundation. I ordered the sushi dinner for $31 which came with 8 chef's choice pieces and a choice of tuna, spicy tuna or california roll. I opted for the spicy tuna. I personally like the spicy mayo, but this came chopped with chili oil making it dry. The dinner also came with miso (very good) and salad (ginger dressing is a bit thick). We got the shrimp dumpling for an appetizer. I thought it was going to be shumai, but it was a thick breading that was deep fried. I should have asked :) My friend was very happy with her signature crunchy roll. The house sake was ok.
- Average Sushi PlaceKatsVIPDined on 1/27/2012I am a big sushi fan and I am always willing to try a restaurant that I haven't visited. I would give RISE an average rating. The food was average and the atmosphere was average. The wait staff were spending more time hanging out with each other than there were customers available. My food came out quickly and I did see some beautiful platters of food come by me as I sat at the sushi bar. I just wasn't WOWED by the taste.Special Features:
- The bento box is mostly rice,OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 1/27/2012The bento box is mostly rice, and so was the expensive appetizer we ordered.
- Too much, Too long, Too much hassleOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 1/1/2012We went in on a Sunday night to find only 2 other people in the restaurant. 3 of us ordered Sushi, while the 4th ordered a cooked entree. The cooked meal came out 20 minutes before the Sushi. The server told us the Sushi chef was swamped, with 6 people total in the restaurant (the other table already had their food). It took entirely too long for the Sushi and when it came out, it wasn't that impressive (for the price/wait perspective). Price is another factor. I almost had a heart attack when I saw $6.95 for a small pile of Edamame? Everything was about $3-5 more than it should be. To say it bluntly, if you're a local Atlantan - it's not worth the drive and hassle of downtown. You'll be there too long and pay too much.
- The bartender doesn't knowOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 12/13/2011The bartender doesn't know that all sparkling wine is not champagne. Good experience overall.
- great food and very attentiveOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/12/2011great food and very attentive service! We will certainly be back.Special Features:
- Excellent varied menu, everythingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/6/2011Excellent varied menu, everything you would expect at a good Japanese restaurant, not the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for. Surprisingly quiet but that suited us and the service was prompt.Special Features:
- Unique Atlanta SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/22/2011Unique sushi for Atlanta: Marlin, Wahoo, White Tuna, Swordfish, Blue shrimp. Incredible job with creative sauces and presentation. I'm looking forward to another visit.Special Features:
- Had several unique fish forOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/23/2011Had several unique fish for sushi not found anywhere else - well done!
- We went there on a SaturdayOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 9/10/2011We went there on a Saturday night about 7:30 and the restaurant was pretty empty. Service was a little slow and it seemed that the timing of sending out the dishes was off. Both tables beside us seemed to have issues with the order being correct or not coming out at the same time. The sushi itself was good, we had several rolls and along with some nigiri. The likliehood that I would return is pretty low, I have had better sushi at other places and for a better price. Also, on that particular night the atmosphere was lacking with all the empty seats throughout the restaurant.
- HORRIBLE place AVOIDOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/9/2011The service was HORRIBLE which is a shame because the food was actaully pretty good. It took 20-30 minutes just to get drink orders in. The restaurant needs to invest in more servers and train them properly.
- The sushi was FABULOUS. VeryHuxieVIPDined on 7/22/2011The sushi was FABULOUS. Very delicious. The service was definitely sub-par. We dined @ the bar. We sat for close to ten minutes w/o being greeted by the bartender. The manager had to chase her down & let her know that she had customers. The food took a VERY long tome to arrive, & the restaurant wasn't very crowded at all. Even the seaweed salad took over ten minutes to arrive. The manager had to go find the bartender another time also, because our drinks were empty. It was very frustrating. I'm not sure id visit again, except to eat the great food again.Special Features:
- The food was absolutely deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/21/2011The food was absolutely delicious and the presentations were beautiful. Sushi rolls were average to generous in size, but the portion sizes of our appetizers were quite small in relation to their prices.Special Features:
- Food was amazing, but theOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/17/2011Food was amazing, but the fact that I had to wait 30 minutes to get my drink order is ridiculous. VERY BAD SERVICE
- Worst Service EverOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/17/2011I had a 6:30 reservation and was seated right away because there were several open tables indicating that the restaurant wasn't that busy. However, when 6:45 rolled around and we had yet to see our waiter or waitress, we tracked down the unprofessionally dressed manager, who decided fraternizing with the bartender was more important than actually running the restaurant. Five minutes later, he came over to take our drink order, and had to tell a waiter to come over to our table. The waiter came over, introduced himself and said he would be right back. Ten minutes later, the waiter was still was no where to be found. After 30 minutes of waiting, my other party and I decided to get up and leave. We definitely will not be back.
- Great Service and FoodNealVIPDined on 7/11/2011Took my wife there for her birthday. The Sushi was the best we've ever had. Service was excellent. We used a scoutmob and received 20% of the food.Special Features:
- Nice ambiance...but horribleOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/10/2011Nice ambiance...but horrible food. Will not return.
- Very enjoyable. Sushi wasOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/9/2011Very enjoyable. Sushi was excellent!! Very extensive menu! Our server was very energetic and helpufl. Wonderful experience.
- Decent at BestOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/10/2011This restaurant was decent at best; our food was warm (sushi should be COLD) and took two hours to make. When we were chatting with the waiter he apologized for the wait and explained that the owner was preparing it - therefore, we were shocked at the performance. The tables are seated rather close; so close we ended up in our neighbors conversation half way through our wait. Sad thing is, they weren't busy. The prices were high...try MF Sushi instead.
- The food was great here, butOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/22/2011The food was great here, but the service was bad. It took forever for our food to get out and although out waitress of sympathetic nothing changed.Special Features:
- Not the best sushi I've everOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/22/2011Not the best sushi I've ever had, but it was very good. The place was a little noisy with terrible acoustics so the music was a bit much.Special Features:
- Decently priced and very freshOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/9/2011Decently priced and very fresh sushi. I will definitely return!Special Features:
- The sushi had great flavorOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 3/25/2011The sushi had great flavor and the menu offers some interesting roll combinations. But, it wasn't the freshest sushi I've had. The service was great. The atmosphere was nice but a little loud. I wouldn't choose to go back, but if others suggested it, I'd be fine to meet up there.Special Features:
- Great, great, great qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/25/2011Great, great, great quality sushi and sashimi. They have some really innovative specialty rolls. The waiter wasn't very knowledgeable of the different wines available, but the one I eventually chose was great. Quite pricey, even though we got a "set." Probably just for special occasions if we don't have a coupon.Special Features:
- We ordered a variety of sushiDorisysVIPDined on 3/24/2011We ordered a variety of sushi & tapas and everything was a taste explosion - lamb, oysters, calamari & the roll with SeaBass on top! Without a problem, they satisfied my request to replace the spicy tuna in the SeaBass roll with shrimp tempura & the ell sauce had some fantastic unique flavor in it....the roll was AMAZING! The sea bass was prepared in some BBQ/grilled way that was so flavorful! Would definitely visit again!Special Features:
- This was my second time diningOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 3/19/2011This was my second time dining at RISE and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience both times. I find the sushi menu to be diverse and the drinks are generous. Both times I've dined at RISE we did not have a long wait and the service was great. This is the perfect place for a pre-Phillips Arena, Georgia Dome event bite.Special Features:
- The restaurant was easilyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/18/2011The restaurant was easily accessible from an adequate public parking garaage across the street. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. Service was attentive and the menu items we ordered were delivered within a reasonable time and were tasty.Special Features:

November 27, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans already feel behind the rest of the NFL, even though they got a bit of a head start with a voluntary minicamp.
The Titans started their offseason program two weeks earlier because the team has a new coach in Ken Whisenhunt, and they also hit the field Tuesday for the first of a three-day, voluntary minicamp to start translating what the new playbook and defensive schemes to the field.
Veteran linebacker Shaun Phillips says that combination puts the Titans behind other teams in the league that have been together for a few years, and the minicamp is part of the process of catching up.
The Titans had good attendance with quarterback Jake Locker throwing in individual drills as he recovers from surgery on his right foot.

DEFINITION of 'Linearly Weighted Moving Average'
A type of moving average that assigns a higher weighting to recent price data than does the common simple moving average. This average is calculated by taking each of the closing prices over a given time period and multiplying them by its certain position in the data series. Once the position of the time periods have been accounted for they are summed together and divided by the sum of the number of time periods.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Linearly Weighted Moving Average'
For example, in a 15-day linearly-weighted moving average, today's closing price is multiplied by 15, yesterday's by 14, and so on until day 1 in the period's range is reached. These results are then added together and divided by the sum of the multipliers (15 + 14 + 13 + ... + 3 + 2 + 1 = 120).
The linearly weighted moving average was one of the first responses to placing a greater importance on recent data. The popularity of this moving average has been diminished by the exponential moving average, but none the less it still proves to be very useful.

Thanks for this info. Any breakdown on conversion rate top 10 in the specific apparel/accessories sector? Cheers!
Erica there is a breakdown by sector in the PDF.
Thank you, great post! Very insightful to watch the top dogs' tricks. Beware: typo in second H2 header.
Thanks for sharing this data. Powerful stuff! Are there fluctuations by category? Most of the people I work with are musicians and they would be interested in knowing what the conversion ratios might be with Amazon selling physical CDs vs digital downloads. Any ideas on where to get those details?
Thanks again,
Am I reading this right. That these conversion rates are for # of uniques customers to # of uniques visitors to the shopping cart.
These conversion rates are till final sale not just adding the item to cart.
I have been checking the conversion rates that you have been posting here for a long time.
To be honest, I don`t think these conversion rates reflect the reality. Some of them may be (just maybe) correct, but most of them are not. 31.1% conversion rate for ProFlowers? I don`t think so.
Of course, this is my opinion and I don`t know the actual conversion rates. Nobody can except for the companies in question.
I have worked for different e-commerce companies and I have tested so many different things and I can confidently tell you that reaching 25% conversion rate for a website that gets more than 500,000 unique visitors is almost impossible.
Having said that, you can even hit 40%-50% conversion rates from a specific traffic source and this is fine. But, when you receive millions of visitors, one must not expect to reach over 20% conversion rate. Maybe 10 years from now, but not now.
Just my 2 cents.
these are fantastic results and congratulations to them all.
one thing these sites have in common is they are well known brands/sites.
it would be interesting to take a look at how the lesser known brand sites do it. do you have the next best 11 – 50 websites?

Mr.Eisenberg i`m a postgraduate student and my thesis subject is about the impact of financial crisis on eCommerce.I want to compare some eRetailer websites so i need data for example conversion rate,no. of unique visitors,no. of orders and etc. could you please help? I spent a lot of time on the web but i couldnt find them free of charge:(
Wow… this is the first time I have seen a website with over 30% conversion rate, that is so amazing, As a website designer I am looking forward to my website do 40% conversion rate this year!
- Daniel Chege
I would like to know if conversion is based on daily, weekly or monthly unique visitors?
What is the difference between success and failure as an on line retailer?
This list varies so much every quarter, it's somewhat staggering!
@ Peter, that's a broad question with a lot of answers. Try reading more articles here at Grokdotcom to get some answers.
I am just about to go out looking for VC assistance with my website and a critical part of the financial plan is conversion rates. Is there a trend that is typical of the growth of conversion rates I could use?
Thank you for this useful PDF.
I want to compare some eRetailer websites so i need data for example conversion rate.
good list, they are really very good online stores.
Powerful stuff! Are there fluctuations by category? Most of the people I work with are musicians and they would be interested in knowing what the conversion ratios might be with Amazon selling physical CDs vs digital downloads.
The average unknown brand such as eft-scripts.com gets between 11% when it started and now that has increased to over 15% using1shoppingcart.com's improved package. As a developer I choose what is easier for the user to use and more secure, not what my little heart desires to build with all the commitment that goes with supporting a new product for year afterwards. This policy has shown good results , especially when the client does listen and follows advice given on SEO and user friendlyness.
That this site has an increasing and not decreasing conversion rate means that the product and the design have provided something the users want. so from design to sold is a process that takes time if you want to increase sales online. For Amazon in general thier overall used to be a credible 14% conversion yoy, so I imagine that a jump of 6% is a seasonal effect as it is with the others.
I'm always interested in good information about conversion. Those rates are amazing. I drool at thinking of converting even 5% of visitors. Guess I still got a lot to learn…
Great article. I've been working for a lingerie boutique in Manhattan that's trying to take on Victoria's Secret and compete with them online. I realize they've got a long way to go before they get there, but articles like this are helpful to consider what needs to be done. Thanks.
Thanks for info, knowing those top 10 online retailers site would give me the feeling of secure when I do online shopping there…
The first thing that i noticed from this list is that most of them are well known brands (you could argue this for Amazon even) so the searchers were most likely looking for these specific sites in the first place.
Am I reading this right. That these conversion rates are for # of uniques customers to # of uniques visitors to the shopping cart.

Boost from the sun could help gas power plants generate more electricity, run more cleanly
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are testing a device that can harness solar heat to increase a natural-gas power plant's efficiency 25 percent.
/ Seattle Times science reporter
Solar power remains a hard sell in the United States, but researchers in Washington have developed a way to harness the heat of the sun to boost the efficiency of conventional power plants.
The new technology allows a natural gas-fired plant to generate 25 percent more electricity from the same amount of fuel. And it also reduces greenhouse-gas emissions, says Robert Wegeng, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) engineer who's leading the project.
Wegeng and his colleagues are testing the system this summer on the PNNL campus near the Columbia River, where it's not uncommon for the blistering sun to drive temperatures into triple digits.
On a morning when the high was forecast to hit 100 degrees, team members gathered around their apparatus to explain how it operates.
"It will work best in a dry, sunny environment," Wegeng said. "In Eastern Washington our sun is pretty good."
The flashiest part of the device is a mirrored, parabolic dish that concentrates the sun's rays onto the business end of the operation: a sleek pod about 4 feet long crammed with wiring and machinery.
When the sun is shining, temperatures inside the pod approach 1,500 degrees — hot enough, with an assist from a catalyst, to blast apart the chemical bonds in a mixture of natural gas and water. The result is another fuel, called syngas, which burns better and releases more energy than natural gas.
Climate-alterting carbon-dioxide emissions drop because a power plant equipped with a solar-booster wouldn't have to burn as much fuel.
"Of all the projects I've worked on at PNNL, this is probably the most economically viable," said systems engineer Rick Cameron. "No matter what the price (of natural gas) is, you can improve the energy value."
But as with all energy technologies, the system's commercial fate will hinge on cost and practicality, which have yet to be demonstrated.
"It's a development effort, and it's a stretch to get there," Wegeng said.
The PNNL approach builds on what's called solar thermal energy production. Instead of relying on photovoltaic cells to directly convert sunlight into energy, solar thermal plants use mirrored, parabolic troughs or dishes to concentrate sunlight and tap the resulting heat to drive steam turbines.
One complex in the Mojave Desert covers more than 1,600 acres and has a capacity of 350 megawatts. Another being built in the same area will have a capacity of 400 MW.
The PNNL system takes advantage of the solar heat to drive a chemical reaction instead of using it to create steam.
Wegeng and his colleagues estimate a 500-megawatt solar-gas hybrid plant — with enough capacity to power about 350,000 homes — would require about 3,000 mirrored dishes equipped with the podlike chemical reactors.
Cara Libby, project manager for environment and renewable energy at the Electric Power Research Institute, called the PNNL system "intriguing." But while the cost of photovoltaic cells has dropped sharply in recent years, the price of mirrored solar concentrators is still high, she pointed out.
That means a steep upfront investment for any new natural-gas plant that might consider the solar-booster technology. "You're adding cost by putting a solar component into the project," she said.
With natural-gas prices so low, operators aren't likely to spend that extra cash.
Solar-gas hybrids might make more sense in places, like Washington, that require utilities to include renewable power sources in their mix, Libby said.
"If a system like this can provide a more economic solar resource than a stand-alone solar project, then I think it would be attractive to utilities trying to meet those mandates," she said.
Another advantage over an all-solar plant is that a hybrid facility could continue operating when the sun isn't shining, by switching to natural gas.
Wegeng and his colleagues are working with industry and academic experts at Oregon State University to reduce the cost of their system and develop ways to mass-produce it. The challenge is to produce a system that's reliable, high-performing and economically competitive with natural gas.
"We think we really have a good shot at it," Wegeng said.
The project was launched with $750,000 in federal stimulus money. The experimental phase is funded with about $3.5 million from the Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative to advance solar technology, and $850,000 from industrial partner SolarThermoChemical LLC, which hopes to commercialize the technology.

Hainanese chicken over rice is an expert take on steamed free-range chicken with scallions, fresh ginger and sesame oil as the base. The long-grain rice, which is cooked with chicken broth, is just as aromatic as the chicken. It comes out with a glossy sheen and has a hint of peanut oil and shallots in the mix. As for the sauces, there are different variations depending on the restaurant. Most commonly is a dark, sweet soy sauce, a minced garlic with scallions dip and in some places, a garlic-soy sauce with chili oil.
Even if you're reading this in China or Singapore, for most of us the SGV -- also Hollywood and Downtown L.A. -- is a bit easier to get to, so we've rounded up our 10 local favorites. Turn the page.10. Yazmin:
Yazmin is a Malaysian restaurant that's been a Los Angeles staple for over 15 years. The dish is available two ways: steamed with bones or fried without bones. We prefer the former, but either way the dish comes with a helping of chicken-infused rice. The two complimentary dipping sauces: a chili-garlic based one with ginger, vinegar, sugar and a dark soy sauce. And while you're at it, don't forget to grab one of Yazmin's signature Malaysian roti canais. 27 E Main St., Alhambra; 626-308-2036.9. Tasty Garden:
Tasty Garden is a Hong Kong-owned café with a simple Hainanese chicken dish bursting with flavor. The chicken is served glistening with a sheen of garlic oil -- skin and bones all intact. To the side is a helping of minced garlic and scallions. Smear that sauce all over the chicken -- or better yet, over a bowl of plain white rice. 1212 S Baldwin Ave., Arcadia; 626-445-9388.8. Nha Trang:
Nha Trang may be a cult-favorite for their pho, but their Vietnamese spin on Hainan chicken over rice is just as solid. It's the same chicken they use for their famous pho ga, but note that it's is a weekend-only dish -- with an occasional appearance on their specials board during the week. The Hainan chicken is loaded over a scoop of well-oiled rice and served with a spicy fish sauce. 742 E Garvey Ave., Monterey Park; 626-288-8825.

|You May Say I'm A Dreamer Department of Peace Sticker Price: $2.00 Write a review | No reviews for this product.
A peace movement has existed in the US since the earliest days of the republic, as far back as 1783! For a history on the peace movement and the idea of a Department of Peace go to The U.S. Department of Peace: A Brief History and Bright Future More recently, Representative Dennis Kucinich(D-Ohio) re-introduced a bill to create a Department of Peace every year from 2001-2009 to create a U.S. Department of Peace. In 2005 Senator Mark Dayton(D-Minnesota) introduced legislation in the Senate a week after Dennis Kucinich introduced a similar bill to the House. For more info on the modern movement check out Student Peace Alliance The idea has many supporters in the U.S. as well as a global initiative to launch Ministries and Departments of Peace.

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

This rather interesting picture surfaced on Twitter this week. It's Alpha Female, who signed a contract with TNA while they were on the European tour, and LeiD Tapa carrying Al Snow, a backstage agent for Impact Wrestling.
John Gaburick, the former WWE executive who now has a lead role in TNA, reportedly has some backstage heat with Eric Young during one of the television tapings on the European tour. The two were arguing over the longevity of a spot filmed for Impact Wrestling.
It appears that the story line and character development for Brutus Magnus is working, as fans have been booing him during the European tour. Many backstage were expecting him to receive cheers like Rockstar Spud has been receiving, but they're pleasantly surprised by the crowd reaction.
In a bit of news that will be troublesome to fans who are concerned with his health, Kurt Angle has postponed surgery on his knees. He was initially supposed to go under the knife in January, but pushed that back to work the European tour with TNA, and there's talks that he might postpost it even further than that.
Looks like TNA picked up some more assets while they're on their European tour. The company has signed Alpha Female, a German born wrestler who works in England. She's expecting to make her debut on Impact Wrestling very soon and could be paired up with a male performer.
Mr Anderson was written off of television on Impact Wrestling, and he's also now the father of newborn twins, so that led many to believe that he was going to be skipping the current European tour that TNA is on. However, it has now been confirmed that he is overseas with the company.
For a while there, Aksana had some backstage heat on her in WWE because of her performances during the European tour. However, a lot of that heat has died down tremendously, as she has slowly received more television time. Aksana is also a candidate to join Total Divas next season.
TNA wants a successful tour of Europe in January, so they're hoping to have AJ Styles involved. The company either wants him to make a surprise return during an episode of Impact Wrestling that is being taped overseas or on an episode before that.
Speculations about Jeff Hardy leaving TNA have increased, as the former world champion will not be joining the company as they do a tour of England in January. He is also expected to miss at least a couple of episodes of Impact Wrestling as well.
Aside from being one of the most known tag teams of all time, the British Bulldogs were cousins. Dynamite Kid's father was the brother of Davey Boy Smith's mother.
WWE is reporting that Dynamite Kid, one half of the famous British Bulldog tag team with Davey Boy Smith, has suffered from a stroke several times over the last couple of days.
Prior to forming the massively popular British Bulldogs tag team, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith were booked in a long feud in both Canada and Japan.

Wednesday, 17 July 2013: UPDATE
Cory Monteith died from a drug and alcohol overdose, it has been confirmed. In a statement released by the coroner's office in British Columbia, it was revealed that a post-mortem examination had determined 'a mixed-drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol' was the cause of death. Monteith is also thought to have been alone when he died as video footage and other evidence suggests he returned to his room at the Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver by himself in the early hours of Saturday morning, after spending the evening with friends.
A representative for Lea Michele issued another statement to People. 'Lea is deeply grateful for all the love and support she's received from family, friends, and fans. Since Cory's passing, Lea has been grieving alongside his family and making appropriate arrangements with them. They are supporting each other as they endure this profound loss together. We continue to ask the media to respect the privacy of Lea and Cory's family.'
Sunday, 14 July 2013: Cory Monteith Found Dead In Vancouver Hotel
Sad news has reached Grazia HQ this morning: Cory Monteith has been found dead has died aged 31. The 'Glee' star was found at noon at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver when staff went to check on him because he didn't check out on time. He had been dead for several hours.
Acting Chief Doug LePard told a news conference, 'There were others with Mr Monteith in his room earlier last night, but video and fob key entries show him returning to his room by himself in the early morning hours and we believe he was alone when he died.' No cause of death has yet been revealed for the actor's sudden death, though no foul play is suspected. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.
Monteith, who played Finn Hudson on the TV show, was dating his fellow 'Glee' star Lea Michele. A representative for the actress told People: 'We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time.' Cory voluntarily checked himself into a treatment center back in April, admitting he had substance abuse issues. It was his second time in treatment and the actor had been open about his struggles in the past.
The shock of his death is still reverberating among costars, friends and the acting community who are flooding Twitter with tributes. The first of Monteith's Glee costars to react was Mark Salling, who simply tweeted, 'no'. Kim Kardashian broke her post-pregnancy silence to send 'prayers for his family' while Rumer Willis commented on what 'a talented and sweet guy' he was.
Taylor Swift, who reportedly dated the actor in 2010, simply said she was 'speechless' and 'for the worst reason' while Gwyneth Paltrow, who appeared on the show, released a moving statement in tribute. 'Cory was a sweet and talented man. My heart breaks for Lea and the entire Glee family,' said the actress. Rest in peace, Cory.

Santa Fe House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Convertible bed(s), Sleeps 6-8
Welcome to Casa Milagro!
This is my home away from home and I am pleased to share it with travelers that will treat it with love and respect.
One of my favorite books that captures the magic of New Mexico is The Milagro Beanfield War by John Nichols. I built my home in Aldea de Santa Fe 7 years ago and I truly love all that it has to offer. Milagro means miracle, and my wish for you is that you experience the magic and mystery of this beautiful place.
I love that Casa Milagro is only 10 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza and downtown Santa Fe, yet it feels like you are located in such a peaceful community far, far, away from the hustle of the city. The sunsets are amazing and the views off of my patios are breathtaking. There is open space all around the home along with an abundance of hiking and biking trails.
My home is warm...the colors are Southwest...yellow, oranges, reds, golden, greens.
The adobe style home has traditional high ceilings, vegas, portals, beautiful landscaping, Mexican doors, patios, kiva fireplaces and a great room.
Furnishings are southwest, antique, modern and elegant. I love to sit on my leather couch and watch the fire at night with the candles lighting up the room.
The kitchen has everything and is the perfect place from which to serve a gourmet meal or an easy breakfast. You can dine or relax on the patio, enjoy a glass of your favorite wine and watch a beautiful New Mexico sunset.
The dining area sits 8 people and there are antique chairs from Portugal that add to the ambiance of that dinner by candlelight. The patio table is a great place to enjoy outdoor eating and the peacefulness of the surrounding area.
You enter the master bedroom by climbing the steps to the second floor and opening up two old Mexican doors and stepping into a very peaceful place. The colors and the lighting are soothing to the soul.
The views from the bedroom are beautiful in all directions and I enjoy turning on the fireplace and feeling the added warmth in the bedroom. Taking a soak in the jacuzzi tub is always special, a great way to unwind from a busy day exploring New Mexico.
A member of my family is in a wheelchair, so the home was built to be barrier free in the downstairs area. One of the bathrooms has a roll-in shower for those that may need this accommodation.
There is wireless internet throughout the home along with 3 televisions cable. There is no land line phone, so please bring your cell phone.
Long term rentals are preferred but please call or email for shorter term options.
I hope you will consider Casa Milagro...a very magical place on the beautiful edge of Santa Fe.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- suitable for elderly or infirm

1/4 Photos of Gardener's Sweet Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
5 mins
0 mins
This salad is a celebration of the summer garden- fresh ripe corn, sweet juicy cherry tomatoes still warm from the summer sun, and basil picked from the herb garden. I like Yellow Pear and Sweet Million tomatoes, but use whatever grows well in your garden. This is a very simple recipe that is all about using the best that the summer garden can offer. Second rate ingredients will not produce the same result. If you're reading this in the winter, save it until you can use fresh, local produce! You'll be glad you did.

Spend your summer receiving great tennis instruction and making new friends at camp! The Tournament Tough Nike Tennis Camp at Ocean Reef Club is a camp for young highly competitive athletes ages 11-18 to come and vastly improve their tennis game.
Carlos Goffi, author of tennis best-seller Tournament Tough, is a former coach of John and Patrick McEnroe.Tournament Tough Training Camps have trained competitive players worldwide for the last 28 years. At the Tournament Tough Nike Tennis Camp at Ocean Reef Club our training methods promote competitive strategies for the committed tournament player -"There are many hitters in the game; only a few players".
Campers will utilize the Ocean Reef Club's tennis facility which includes 9 Har Tru Clay Courts, 6 of which are lit for evening play. The Ocean Reef Club is located on the northernmost island in the Florida Keys, Key Largo. It is less than one hour's drive from Miami International Airport. Surrounded by water on three sides, it is a gated, private club community. The setting is pristine yet filled with activities on the courts, the greens and in the water.
Josh Goffi earned his first college head coaching position when the University of South Carolina tabbed him as the leader of its men's tennis program in July 2010. He took the reins of the Gamecock program with a lofty reputation as an elite recruiter with a solid strategic mind and excellent player development skills.
"My first goal in recruiting is to bring in the very best," Goffi said. "Part of that is a player's character. No matter how great a player looks or plays, if he doesn't know how to win or he doesn't show the character that I need to see or that resonates with my program, he won't be recruited. At the same time, if there's a player out there with that strong character, we can build on that and show him the right path to becoming a great player."
Goffi wasted little time living up to his reputation, both in recruiting and player development. The first class of student-athletes to sign with him at South Carolina was ranked No. 3 in the nation by TennisRecruiting.net and included a blue chip recruit, two five-star players and a four-star performer. It was the Gamecock program's first appearance in the organization's rankings. Prior to their arrival on campus, however, Goffi rose to the challenge of his first season with a lineup that lost its top three singles players prior to his arrival. Behind his teaching, a pair of returning players lifted their games to be competitive playing, at times, three places farther up the singles order than they ever had. While the first season did not produce the record Goffi had hoped, he did win both his head coaching debut over Wofford and his first SEC dual match over Arkansas.
In his second season (2011-12), Goffi developed a team that routinely played with three freshmen and two sophomores in the singles lineup into one that finished the season ranked No. 41 in the nation, earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament and boasted two entries in the final singles rankings, including 2012 ITA Carolina Region Rookie of the Year Andrew Adams, as well as a top-30 doubles tandem. The youthful group doubled the team's overall and SEC win totals from the previous season. The season's victory total included seven over ranked teams with five of those coming on the road. The team grew steadily into its success, closing the regular season by winning five of its last 10 matches before heading into postseason action.
Despite this being in just his first head coaching position, Goffi has been trained by some of the best coaches in the world, including his father, 1991 World Coach of the Year, Carlos Goffi. The breadth of his exposure to elite level players and coaches helped the younger Goffi quickly formulate the basic tenets of his program.
"My overall philosophy in coaching is to instill the right culture, on the court and off," Goffi said. "College is the four most influential years of a person's life, whether it's development in a sport or as a person. So, as a coach, I start with the person. On the court, the culture starts with discipline, accountability, reliability and teamwork. Day in and day out, we'll be practicing that."
Goffi joined South Carolina after just four seasons as an assistant coach, the last two of which were spent at Duke University with head coach Ramsey Smith, son of tennis legend Stan Smith. The duo wasted little time in returning the Blue Devils to national prominence, turning Duke's sub-.500 record in 2008 into a 16-9 mark in 2009 and a No. 14 final ranking in 2010, the program's highest ranking in three years. The Blue Devils' 20-9 overall record in 2010 included a 10-2 ACC mark, which slotted them second in the league and propelled them to the ACC Championship final match.
The turnaround came largely on the recruiting prowess of Goffi as he inked 2009's top recruit in the world in Brazilian Henrique Cunha. Under Goffi's tutelage, Cunha was named ITA National Rookie of the Year and earned 2010 ACC Player and Freshman of the Year honors. Cunha advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Singles Championship and finished the season ranked No. 3 in the nation. He and teammate Reid Carleton were named ITA National Doubles Team of the Year after closing the season as the top team in the nation behind a school-record 41-6 record that saw them advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship.
For his effort in catapulting Duke's program into the national limelight, including a spot in the 2010 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, Goffi was named ITA Carolina Region Assistant Coach of the Year. It was his second regional honor as he was named ITA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008 while helping Arizona State's women's team to a 15-8 record that saw the Sun Devils ranked No. 23 in the nation at season's end. After joining the staff of legendary head coach Sheila McInerney in 2006, Goffi worked closely with individual players on setting goals and strengthening their strategic, tactical and mental abilities.
Goffi began his coaching career after spending four years on the ATP Tour (2001-05). During his professional career, he amassed 18 doubles titles, including three Challengers, rising as high as No. 121 in the ATP in doubles (July 5, 2004). His singles career saw him rise to No. 488 in the ATP (June 16, 2003) as he won a Masters event in Sardinia, Italy, in 2001 and the USTA Sprint Futures title in Elkin, N.C., in 2003. Goffi also claimed the doubles title at the North Carolina tournament, making him one of just six people in the world to turn the double championship in an event that year. Among his six singles wins over top-100 ATP players is a 2004 straight-set win over Stanislas Wawrinka, who later teamed with Roger Federer to win the gold medal for Switzerland in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Before entering the professional ranks, Goffi plied his craft as the top singles player at Clemson University. A three-time All-ACC selection for the Tigers, he earned both the singles and doubles conference championships in 1999 and was a member of the 2000 and 2001 NCAA All-Region teams. He rose as high as No.9 in the singles national rankings and No. 3 in doubles while leading Clemson to three NCAA Tournament appearances and a spot in the 2001 ACC Tournament final. A two-time Academic All-ACC selection, Goffi earned the team's "Mr. Clutch Award" for displaying the courage, heart and determination necessary to pull through at crucial times in 2001. In his four-year career, Goffi posted an 84-64 singles record and an 85-50 mark in doubles. He earned his bachelor of science in financial management in 2001.
Goffi grew up around tennis' elite, lingering around his father's Tournament Tough Tennis Academy to hear the wisdom of various internationally renowned coaches even before he officially embarked on his competitive tennis career at the age of 14. Seeing his father coach the likes of John and Patrick McEnroe, Peter Fleming and Mary Carillo, Goffi absorbed and now implements some of his father's strengths.
"[My dad] is one of the best mental coaches in the world," Goffi said. "He knows how to motivate and how to put things in perspective. As a coach, when you walk on the court, the whole idea is to put things in perspective for the player, who feels like there's a massive magnifying glass on him."
Goffi is married to the former Nancy Augustyniak, a former professional soccer player who spent time with the United States National Team in 2000 and 2001 after a standout career at Clemson. The couple has a daughter, Eliana, and is expecting another this summer.
Coach Carlos Goffi was truly amazing. I cannot believe just how much he worked with and encouraged our daughter. She finally came to the point of going beyond being a good player with her friends but instead wanting to do it for herself. My husband and I are completely indebted. He is incredible! Thank you!!!
I really enjoyed the Tournament Tough camp. It was nice being able to play with more competitive players and I thought the coaches really knew what they were talking about.
My sons really enjoyed this camp and I think they both really improved their games! They really liked playing with more serious tennis players and want to return again next year.
Fantastic program! Great staff who work hard to teach higher level tennis to the kids, but make sure they are having fun at the same time. My daughter will be back!
This is one of the best camps I've ever attended and will definitely be back next summer. Thank you very much and bless you all.
This is my daughters 4th year with Nike Tennis camps. She thoroughly enjoys her time and feels more and more confident after her time there.

Robert Frost examines the reasons for Poland's fall and the conduct of the war by the Polish government, and addresses the crucial question of why, despite widespread recognition of the shortcomings of the political system, subsequent attempts at reform failed. War has long been seen as crucial to the development of more effective systems of government in Europe during the seventeenth century, but studies usually concentrate on states which responded successfully to the challenges. Much can be learned from those that failed, and the paucity of English-language material on this important conflict means that After the Deluge will appeal to a broad audience among historians of Poland, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, and early modern Europe in general.

VE Day: Who Were the Thousands of Scots Laid To Rest Far From Home?
Etched into sun-seared stone, the names of hundreds of Scots can be read on the seemingly endless rows of headstones criss-crossing the small cemetery in northern Egypt. Names like Bruce, Cameron, McCallum, and Stewart appear alien in a landscape so different to that of their homeland.
