Two Cats Tuesday: The Sweetest Faces You Ever Did See
Jan 12, 2010
Two Cats Tuesday: The Sweetest Faces You Ever Did See
Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! Today's is a very special post. I hope someone out there in Cuteland can help!Today I'd like you to meet Lenox and Diamond. Lenox is blind and Diamond only has one good eye. They are brothers and the bestest friends in the world, and Diamond is basically Lenox's seeing-eye cat.Both of these sweet babies were adopted as kittens and had the best daddy in the world. He loved them dearly and they adjusted better than anyone could have hoped. But then their daddy lost his job and as a last resort had to move back in with his parents in New York. His mom absolutely refused to take the cats in. He was crushed!!Luckily, though, the shelter they were adopted from (Animal Aid -- one of Cute's favorites!) offered to take them back in and care for them. He reluctantly took them back and they are in a foster home now -- and have once again adjusted amazingly! They really are quite a pair.
Lenox says hello! Just look how happy he is in his condo. And what a sweet face!Diamond says hello, too! It's like he's winking at us! He doesn't even know he's missing an eye. So now Lenox and Diamond are in search of a forever home again. A real forever home. They must go together as they are used to having each other to depend on. Neither one knows they are missing anything, and together they are the dynamic duo!These babies are too special to not have a mommy and daddy to shower them with love and attention.
They need a real home, where they can live the life they deserve. Let's get together and find them one!Here's some more pictures and a little more about them.
If you or anyone you know might be able to give them a loving home, please email me, tweet me, Facebook me or contact their friend at Animal Aid at LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com.
Animal Aid (and Lenox and Diamond!) is located in South Florida.Lenox is a little over a year old and blind. He is a beautiful white cat -- absolutely scrumptious, little guy, plays, uses the litter box and comes when called. He chases balls, eats up a storm, climbs, tumbles with other cats and you would never ever suspect he could not see. He goes non-stop -- he has so much energy. It is hard to believe he is blind and how his senses compensate for his loss of sight. Lenox has had surgery to remove his eyes, so there will be no need to worry about infections.
Lenox also has a brother, Diamond, who also needed one eye removed. Lenox and Diamond were adopted together and dearly loved by a very nice young man. Unfortunately he lost his job and had to move back with his family up north and so these darling boys are available for adoption again. Lenox and Diamond must be adopted together.
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM, PLEASE CONTACT THEIR FRIEND, LEE, AT 754-366 8072 or LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com.. Lenox and Diamond must be adopted together. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM, PLEASE CONTACT THEIR FRIEND, LEE, AT 754-366 8072 or LeeSparkman (at) aol (dot) com.Please pass this on to anyone you think might be able to give them a home, or who might know someone who could. They are at Animal Aid in South Florida and you can call Lee at the number or email above to meet them or get more info.

Gary and Sarah to get together in Corrie - Yay or Nay?
What I would like to know, however, is whether you think Gary and Sarah should get together.
I'd love Gary and Izzy to get back together, of course, but it looks like that is not going to happen. And so, I think Gary and Sarah might work.
What do you think? Gary and Sarah together as a couple - Yay or Nay?

Oh yes! They'd be great together. And of course, Anna and Gail would be feuding over it...

- Tvor said...
Yay from me. I think they might work quite well and it would be nice to see Sarah getting a decent bloke for a change.
- 8 September 2016 at 12:06
Bethany fancies him, she also fancied Callum, see where this is going?
- 8 September 2016 at 12:07
It's fairly obvious where this is going, Anon above.
I said weeks ago how this was all going to pan out, and it is.
- 8 September 2016 at 12:31
I'm inclined to agree with Anonymous at 12.07. They'll get together, Bethany will attempt to steal Gary or she'll make false allegations against him. A few years ago, the writers changed Sophie's age to fit a storyline and I bet they now wish they'd made Bethany younger. The bullying and subsequent suspension really doesn't make sense for a girl her age (why doesn't she just go to college?!)but I guess Bethany being happy wouldn't be much of a storyline.
- 8 September 2016 at 13:10
- Maricha said...
Nay. Sarah was on the brink of madness just weeks ago and unless she wants her daughter to be another teen mother she should, finally, spend a few months actually raising her child and her new baby.
As for Gary, while I'm sure being, yet again, handed part of a business by the father of his current girlfriend may sound like a good idea but he should keep in mind how things ended the last time. Since the Nazirs look set to blow up and he couldn't buy them out, he'd do well to focus on building a business all his own that he can rely on to help raise his child.
- 8 September 2016 at 13:32
I think they'd be brilliant together. Sarah needs someone with a good head on his shoulders, and I never liked Gary and Izzy together, they seemed very contrived.
- 8 September 2016 at 13:58
Sarah & Gary doesn't work for me - she is so flaky and he seems to be much more level headed. I would feel sorry for Izzy because I can't imagine how the father of her baby would choose someone like Sarah over her. Although it would make for interesting squabbles between Gail & Anna - obviously Anna would win.
- 8 September 2016 at 14:21
Gary Рlatt? - sounds interesting!
- 8 September 2016 at 14:45
- abbyk said...
IDK. Gail would have a problem welcoming a punk who had a part in Joe's demise to the inner circles of her family. He and David were far from friends for the longest time. They've spoken a few times and he cares, appropriately, for Bethany. All I see here is a convenience factor. Which probably means they'll be moving in together soon.
- 8 September 2016 at 14:46
- Flo said...
I thought it looked like he might get back together with Alya, at one point, there was a scene with the two of them giving each other looks like they still had feelings for each other. Unless they are planning on turning it into a triangle down the road?
- 8 September 2016 at 15:03
yay! For all the reasons abbyk stated I think it would be fantastic. I really like Gary and Sarah separately..and they have chemistry...he did not have that with alya or izzy.
- 8 September 2016 at 16:31
I would also say nay as it's getting boring with Sarah being paired up with every bloke on the Street only to be pregnant with their child soon afterwards[so it seems].
I would prefer to see Gary find his way back to Izzy and be more involved with his son's life rather than someone's else's child's life.
The pairing of Sarah and Gary would be a recycling of Gary being paired up with Alya soon after he and Izzy broke up the first time.
I also agree with abbyk's commnets and I think if Sarah was paired up with Gary,it could cause trouble for the family as her relationship with Callum did.
- 8 September 2016 at 16:39
- Rapunzel said...
Yay, they have chemistry, are both parents of young boys so could manage the blended family dynamic. They each have had their share of mental illness and struggle to keep their emotions in check, even though they also show a reasonable degree of level headedness. Plus, as pointed out above, there is plenty of scope for drama so they won't wind up in the couple's death zone - reduced to playing glorified extras unless/until one of them strays ...
- 8 September 2016 at 18:48
Why not just show someone (in this case Gary) strive to do the decent thing for once and follow the drama and conflict in that? Ie. get back with Izzy and help support and raise the child that they made so many sacrifices to bring into this world. Moving a person from partner to partner is a really lazy way to create drama. Also if he can move on so quickly from Alya (the supposed love of his life!) he looks even more suspect in keeping half of the gym. His whole argument for keeping the gift of the gym was because he needed to focus on providing for his child, not to allow him to pick up new women!
- 8 September 2016 at 19:08
I have a mental picture of Gail and Anna rolling around the cobbles in their nightgowns...LOL.
- 8 September 2016 at 21:54
Nay for me. Sarah's too flighty for Gary. Since she's been back from Italy, after years away, I struggle to see much substance in the returned character. (I know, it's just a soap.) Even with all the Callum drama, I still feel like she's always reacting to events, not creating her own life. In general, I'm also just tired of the constant pairing up of everybody! It's unrealistic that women and men aren't close friends more on Corrie.
- 9 September 2016 at 03:13
Def much more believable than Gary and Alya!

This Saturday, Turn In Your Guns (No Cops This Time!)
With 697 weapons turned in this past July, Brooklyn District Attorney Joe Hynes' gun buy-back smashed all expectations and has prompted his office to announce they'll be doing it again Saturday.
The 697 guns, collected in return for $200 prepaid cash cards over only six hours on July 19th, was about 100 more guns than the program bagged last time Hynes' office offered the program. That was in July 2000 when they collected roughly 600 guns over 10 days.
And that number was actually pumped up by the fact that, back then, the bad guys weren't the only ones turning in their weapons.
The NYPD switched in 1993 from revolvers to 9mm, leaving many cops with both weapons. So "a ton" of cops sneakily used the 2000 buy-back program to get rid of their old service revolvers and pocket the $100 being offered per gun back then, according to a DA source.

TicketsWed., May. 31, 7:30pm
So many took advantage of the no-identification, no-questions-asked program, in fact, that before reinstituting it this year, Hynes' office made a policy change.
On the bottom of the "Cash For Guns" flier that Hynes' office handed out a press conference on Tuesday, September 9, large words written in red ink state: "No Current or Retired Law Enforcement Guns."
Even without the cops' old guns, and in a time when crime is reportedly at all-time lows, officials in the district attorney's office were still hoping to get somewhere in the area of 100 guns this past July. That's why the nearly 700 operable guns they took in blew them away. Turning in the guns to churches, instead of police precincts, was cited by Hynes as one possible reason for the unexpected increase. The DA said yesterday the program's success in July made them push to do it again and it's something he would like to see turned into a full-time program.
"I would institutionalize this program," he said. "I see no downside to this program. None."
But then he noted one. The money used for this program comes from their asset forfeiture fund -- money and property taken from criminals -- and that is dwindling.
In any event, there are six "Drop Off Sites" which will be accepting operable guns from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13: The Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace, 1717 Mermaid Avenue; Our Lady of Refuge, 2020 Foster Avenue; St. Anthony Baptist Church, 425 Utica Avenue; Immanuel & First Spanish Methodist Church, 424 Dean Street; Restoration Temple Assembly of God, 4606-10 Church Avenue; and St. Albans Episcopal Anglican Church, 9408 Farragut Road. Guns are to be brought in a plastic or paper bag or a shoebox.
The program will pay for a maximum of three guns per person. NYPD Chief Douglas Zeigler said at Tuesday's press conference that police officers have been given the word to lay off those attempting to turn in weapons at the churches.

'There is no need to over-dramatise,' Mr Delors said. 'We are studying the British problem very seriously, making sure we have properly understood and have all the facts straight. . . it is not for me to step into the shoes of the British government.'

[MR. JOHN CUMMINGS in the Chair]
9.55 am
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Mr. John Battle): I beg to move, That the Committee has considered the draft EUTELSAT (Immunities and Privileges) (Amendment) Order 2000. The order was laid before the House on 30 October. The European Telecommunications Satellite Organisation—EUTELSAT—is based in Paris. It was established in 1977 and ranks as one of the world's leading satellite operators, with reach across Europe, Africa and large parts of Asia, and connectivity with America. EUTELSAT provides TV and radio broadcasts and pioneered the delivery of internet services. It also provides capacity for corporate networks, satellite news-gathering, telephony and mobile voice, data and positioning services. As many as 48 countries are shareholders in EUTELSAT, the largest being Italy with 20.3 per cent., followed by France with 20 per cent. and the United Kingdom with 19 per cent. The order will enable the Government to notify their acceptance of the amendments to the convention and the operating agreement relating to the European Telecommunications Satellite Organisation. The amendments were presented to Parliament by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in February 2000, under the negative procedure. The order is made under the International Organisations Act 1968 and, as such, it falls to a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister to introduce it. It will give effect in UK law to those additional privileges and immunities that we are obliged to confer under the convention and the amended operating agreement. As an intergovernmental organisation, EUTELSAT already enjoys the usual privileges and immunities under the EUTELSAT (Immunities and Privileges) Order 1988. Agreement was reached in 1999 for EUTELSAT to be privatised as a French company, with a residual two or three-person intergovernmental organisation to oversee its obligation to provide public service telephony. After EUTELSAT is put on a commercial footing, the order will exempt the residual intergovernmental organisation from customs duties on goods and publications of the organisation imported by it into the UK in the course of its official activities. It does not apply to or affect employees of EUTELSAT, or any other individual connected with it. In accordance with Section 1 (6) (a) of the International Organisations Act 1968, the privileges and immunities conferred by the 4 order are no greater than are required by the convention and operating agreement, as amended, or those authorised by the Act. I hope that this modest and non-controversial order will have the full support of the Committee. It is a tidying up job, bringing the organisation into line with other international organisations and within the law. The order confers the usual conditions and fully accords with previous decisions made by the House and internationally.
9.58 am
Mr. Richard Spring (West Suffolk): Thank you, Mr. Cummings; I welcome you to the Chair. I also thank the Minister for setting out the order so succinctly and so enthusiastically. EUTELSAT is a treaty-based international organisation funded and run by national telecom operators, and BT and Cable ∧ Wireless are the UK investors. It is the largest carrier of satellite television in Europe, and Britain, as one of the 48 nation members of the organisation is a substantial investor and user. Its success is important to the UK. As the Minister said, the order amends the EUTELSAT (Immunities and Privileges) Order 1988 by exempting EUTELSAT from all customs duties within the scope of its official duties. It is important that it remains competitive in that global industry. The Opposition will therefore not oppose the order. However, I have two questions. To what extent do British interests invest in EUTELSAT each year, and does the Minister believe that the order will increase the country's usage of satellite?
9.59 am
Mr. Battle: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his comments. The last time we debated privileges and immunities, we were reduced to speaking about privileges for embassy staff and others, including whether they could park on yellow lines in London with immunity. The order is not about such privileges, and I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for setting it in context rather more fully than I did. The Department of Trade and Industry has more to do with the role of satellites, but, even with my limited knowledge, I know that satellites are playing an increasingly important role in international telecommunications. They help to ensure the range, the right bandwidth and so on to allow a successful global telecommunications network to be built. The hon. Gentleman reminded us that the industry is a business and that it must remain competitive. That is the key aim of the restructuring of EUTELSAT. Our job today is simply to ensure that the industry remains in line with the usual practices for privileges and immunities. Satellites will be vital to business in Europe, even to public administration, especially for the delivery of internet services, e-commerce, e-business, e-communications and public administration the future. It is important that they are in position and run well and wisely. 5 The hon. Gentleman asked about investment. I said that the UK is a key investor in EUTELSAT; we are behind two other countries at about 19 per cent., but we are certainly a major investor. It is difficult to say how much each company invests in each satellite because that information is confidential. If the hon. Gentleman wants more background information about the range of investment interests and the use of EUTELSAT, I shall happily provide it, through the Department of Trade and Industry, with a 6 background note. Although that matter goes wider than the remit of the order, I shall ensure that the information is made available to all members of the Committee.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,That the Committee has considered the draft EUTELSAT (Immunities and Privileges) (Amendment) Order 2000.

At the time of registration parents must present the following papers: official birth certificate, baptismal certificate and current health and immunization records as prescribed under the Illinois State School Code. (Beginning July 1997, the Illinois Department of Public Health, Child Health Examination Code, will require all children enrolling in a child care facility or preschool program, the Kindergarten level and children entering fifth (5th) grade for the first time, to show evidence of three (3) doses of the Hepatitis B vaccine.)
A child entering Saint George School must abide by the requirements of the State of Illinois regarding the age of admission. Students are also required to present a birth certificate and baptismal certificate. At present this means a child entering kindergarten must have reached five (5) years before September 1st.
The State of Illinois provides for compulsory attendance of all children between the ages of seven and sixteen years. The responsibility for compliance with the law belongs to the parents, but the school is obliged to keep accurate records of daily attendance. This record is kept on file.
The length of the school year and school day is determined by the State of Illinois and the Office of Catholic Education. St. George is in session from 7:55 a.m. until 2:35 p.m.
Saint George School respects the dignity of each student and will not bar admission to any child because of race, color, sex or national and ethnic origin. All can enjoy the rights, privileges, programs and activities that are available in our school. Saint George School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, loan programs, athletics, and other school administrative programs.
St. George School does not have a specific curriculum designed for those with special needs, However, we do accept IEP students and make accommodations to fit all our students educational needs when possible. There is a Part-Time Reading Specialist, Math Coach and services once a week from District 146 to assist in the educational process with students who qualify for services. Consideration for attendance at St. George School will be determined by the principal and the parents, to make sure all educational needs can be meet.
A current dental and health record must be presented and placed on file for all students entering Kindergarten and 5th Grade. Also, evidence of a lead screening test must be part of the health examination. All transfer students must present a dental and a health record upon registering for school. NO STUDENT MAY BE ADMITTED TO A CLASSROOM UNTIL THE HEALTH AND DENTAL RECORDS ARE TURNED INTO THE OFFICE. Good mental, physical and emotional health are essential and necessary to facilitate the learning process.
Students with exceptional needs may be asked to have a psychologist, psychiatrist or certified counselor administer a psychological evaluation. Saint George will follow the recommendation of the psychologist or psychiatrist. Saint George is not equipped to deal with extreme or severe behavioral or emotional problems. Nor is it equipped to deal with students who have learning disorders.
St. George School is supported primarily by tuition and fees. Our School Board assists families through various fund raisers. St. George Parish also provides a subsidy to offset the cost of running St. George School.
A hot lunch program is available for St. George School students by Lunch at Hand. Milk is also available. Menus are sent home for ordering on a monthly basis. Contact Laura Miller through the school office for more information.

The research councils have harmonised on a web-based system called Researchfish to collect information on the wide range of outputs and outcomes from their funding. Researchfish was previously used by MRC and STFC, as well as a number of other funders, while AHRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC and NERC used a system called ROS (Research Outcomes System), which closed in April 2014. As part of the move to Researchfish, Research Councils have also harmonised on a single framework called the Common Question Set, which covers outcome types for all disciplines.

Our smokefree rules
All Nelson Marlborough Health facilities are smokefree.
Smoking cessation advice is available from a number of trained staff in many areas, and who are able to assist you to become smokefree.
The Nelson Marlborough Health is committed to promoting good health and maintaining a healthy environment for our patients, staff and visitors. This is why all our buildings and grounds are totally smokefree.
For those who do smoke, this means you cannot smoke anywhere on site – inside or out. This policy includes the use of e-cigarettes (vaping).
While this can be a challenge, it also provides an opportunity to tap into the expertise of health staff that can help you to stop smoking.
How will I cope being smokefree in hospital?
Our trained staff can manage your smokefree stay and help with smoking cessation advice. We also have dedicated Quit Coaches who are able to support you to continue to be smokefree.
For those who do not want to stop smoking, our staff will support you to remain smokefree while you are in Nelson Marlborough Health facilities.
If you smoke regularly, your body gets used to a steady supply of nicotine. When you stop smoking, it is the withdrawal from nicotine that causes discomfort. To help you remain smokefree and be comfortable during your stay, we can provide nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). For example, patches, lozenges and gum – which replace the nicotine supply to your body.
NRT is used as a safe alternative to smoking to help keep you comfortable. It can reduce the severity of some of the symptoms people experience when they can't smoke, such as cravings, irritability and restlessness.
We know that most people who smoke want to quit and that it can be a hard journey for many. Talking to your doctor or nurse about your smoking is a great first step.
Quit for your surgery
Stopping smoking before your surgery can help you recover safely and quickly. View our quit for surgery guide.
Want help to quit smoking?
We recommend the use of medicines and quit support; this has been shown to boost the likelihood of successful quitting. For more information visit our smokefree section.

|Gerings holiday season has begun
|November 29, 2012 Jerry Purvis
Photo by Elizabeth Gross/Gering Citizen Having arrived at his village in the Gering Civic Center parking lot on Friday during the Gering Merchants Vintage Christmas Parade, Santa met with many admirers, such as young Roman Turney, of Morrill. Spirits were joyful as legions of children told Santa what they wanted for Christmas, promising that theyd been very good all year.
Gering Merchants officially kicked off the Christmas season last Friday evening with the seventh annual Christmas parade and the opening of Santas Village.
It was another fabulous parade, said event co-chair Gloria Gibbs. We had a lot of attendance and I think everyone enjoyed it.
The parade had 10 registered floats, but other vehicles such as the county sheriff and local fire departments also took part. Members of the Gering Police Department also had their patrol bikes decorated in Christmas lights for the event.
Prior to the 6 p.m. parade through downtown, entrants gathered in Gardner Park for judging. The first place float was Valley Bank and Valley Insurance. Second place went to Gering Valley Plumbing and Platte Valley Companies came in third.
The weather was perfect for a parade, said Donna Cozad of the Gering Merchants. It wasnt that miserable cold weve had in past years.
The last float in the parade is always Santa, on his way to the opening of Santas Village at the Gering Civic Center. About 300 people attended the opening as children visited with the jolly elf and shared their wish lists for Christmas.
Santas Village will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. 1 p.m. through Dec. 22. And dont forget that Santa will bring his reindeer to Santas Village on Dec. 1
The big attendance day for the community will be Dec. 1 as all the Gering museums have an open house to Celebrate an Old-Fashioned Christmas.
The Scotts Bluff National Monument celebrates Christmas on the Prairie from 10 a.m. 4 p.m. Children will be able to make decorations and sing carols to the live music of The Village Players. Refreshments are provided and a number of activities common in the 1800s are planned as well.
A High Plains Christmas takes place from 10 a.m. 3 p.m. at the Farm And Ranch Museum. Attendees can ride in a horse drawn hay wagon, toast marshmallows, enjoy their famous bean soup for lunch, send letters to Santa via Pony Express Rider and listen to live music featuring local church choirs.
The North Platte Valley Museum is also hosting the opening of its Trees Along the Trail event from 11 a.m. 4 p.m. as several local non-profit organizations decorate Christmas trees for display. The public is also invited to vote for their favorite. Votes are $1 and the funds help support the local agencies and the museum. Refreshments and prize money are courtesy of H&R Block.
Also on Dec. 1, the Chimney Rock National Historic Site south of Bayard will host its Christmas on the Prairie event from 9 a.m. 4 p.m. There will be refreshments and children can make their own decorations and Christmas cards.

I've noted before that I really don't care who follows me on Twitter. Spammer, scammer, porn bot, marketer, whatever – I don't care. That doesn't mean I don't notice things in my follower list, though. I gain new followers infrequently enough that I opt to recieve emails from Twitter telling me when someone new follows me. I notice.
I've been using Twitter for just over three years. In that time, I've amassed about 950 followers. Now, I'm not foolish enough to believe that I've got 950 people paying attention to me, but the number is what it is. Over the past day or two, that number has gone up by over a hundred, putting me at 1,075 (at the time of this writing). Three years, 950. Less than three days, another 125 – and growing.
Now, I'd like to say that it's due to something that I wrote here or something that I posted somewhere else, but the truth is that every single person who has followed me in the past couple of days has been the result of my joining the 30 Day Challenge. All of the "people" who started following me have around 5,000 followers, they're following about an equal amount, and they have anywhere from 0 to 100 tweets. That's right, zero tweets. Some of these people racked up 5,000 followers without tweeting a damn thing.
Do I care if they're following me? Nope. Nothing's changed in that regard. Will I follow any of them back? Hell, no. These people provide no value. They're all – every single one of them – pitching various internet get-rich-quick schemes. You have to be either brain dead or one of them to follow any of them back. Come to think of it, I'm not sure those two things are mutually exclusive.
Update, June 10th
Interestingly, nearly all the followers I picked up have disappeared. I don't know if it's because Twitter deleted their accounts (possible, even likely) or if it's because they all simultaneously figured out that I wasn't going to follow them back. Either way, they're gone now.

One Day in San Diego
Wonderful fresh food & friendly service!! We shared the dinner for two & the amount of food was perfect! The green sauce served with the Samosas is the best!
We went here for dinner Sunday night after the decent reviews in Yelp. The service was terrible. There was one server and the manager who were siting people, taking orders and serving for both inside and outdoor seating and they could not keep up with the tables. The food is terrible. The chicken curry was bland with bare minimum spices...
Busy place but quick service and great tasting food, the plata and the sag aloo are delicious! I will definitely be back when I am in San Diego
We stopped for lunch and had a delicious lunch platter for less then $10 bucks. And the service was friendly and informative. Perfect lunch.
I went to the restaurant with my family, and we ordered chicken masala and buttered chicken. Both of them were below average. Furthermore, the waitress was picking her nose while taking the order.
In town on business trip, wanted to try something different for us, so stopped in due to convenience. Started with green salad, wife had lamb kebab - nothing special. Chana masala was somewhat tasty. Naan and Taj Mahal beer - same as lamb. While not as bad as some reviews I've seen, not sure it's worth going to given large...
Visited with a friend while at a conference and had some of the blandest Indian food I've ever had. All the food was fairly tasteless and lacking in spice. They seemed to think burnt nan breads were normal as well for some reason.
The food was excellent! We enjoyed the chicken vinadloo curry platters for lunch. If we lived in the area, we would frequent this restaurant.
Well most of the food had the same sour taste, like they used the same tomato gravy.i ordered a dish .it was absolutely unedible, the girl was nice enough to take it away and get me lentils, it was bland . Not worth the money. .
We just had lunch. The food was good but the service was not so. There was no welcoming smile. They made us feel as they were doing us a favor. Our order was wrong but we still accepted it .

Rain poured overhead; the wind caused the trees to sway, shaking and rattling, scratching against windows. Light, sky blue eyes closed as keen, practiced ears listened to the wind howl its mournful song, singing the lyrics of the lone man's heart. He was sitting out in the rain, back against a thick oak tree, his orange jumpsuit mostly protecting his body from the sky's tears. Blonde hair stuck to his cheeks and the back of his neck, looking out of place; it was normally spiked, as though reaching for the sun. Around one long, tanned finger, the blonde male spun a kunai in a useless attempt to distract himself from his depressing thoughts.
It was no use. A pale face clouded his mind; dark grey, nearly black eyes bore into his soul even when there were no dark grey eyes to be found; he still felt the jet-black hair against his scarred cheeks, his neck, and his shoulders; still heard his name being spoken from those pale lips.
The blonde opened his eyes, looking skyward. When was it that his eyes saw that dark hair? With a small, sad smile, Naruto thought back to when they first met; he believed it was a Tuesday night.
The boy, eight years old, sat on the pier, his short legs hanging over. It was like this all the time, Naruto mused. He was sure they were the same age, but unlike others their age; this boy didn't like interacting with others. Pursing his lips, the blonde made his way down the small hill, not bothering to hide his presence as he plopped next to the dark-haired boy. Turning, he gave his best grin, his blue eyes shut, "Hi!"
"What do you want?" came the grumbled reply.
Caught off guard, Naruto blinked up at him, "Um, to be your friend!" he grinned again, though this time his eyes remained open.
The other boy turned away, "If you're going to be my friend, you have to smile like that all the time, then."
"Okay!" Naruto laughed, "I'm Naruto; what's your name?"
"You don't know?" the raven turned to the blonde, "My name is Sasuke."
Naruto sighed softly. After that, the two of them hung out almost daily. They were both alone, both in so much pain. The two almost fed off of each other, using the other to be happy. Neither of them were truly able to smile unless they were together.
The kunai had fallen to the ground as the blonde thought back to their first meeting, but he hardly noticed as mud began to pull the black knife into its depths.
As he recalled, it had not taken long for him to sink into the dark abyss of Sasuke's eyes. There was something almost magical about them; so much raw emotion held in his eyes, though his face never allowed a single twitch – unless he was with Naruto; like the blonde forcibly drug emotions from him that should have died along with his family. He had that effect on people.
Yet, even though he himself couldn't realize his feelings for his best friend until it was too late, Sasuke, somehow, had come to terms with his long before Naruto.
They sat beneath a tree, watching the rain. The two of them were twelve now, and while Naruto was interested in girls, Sasuke only saw them as a nuisance. "Hey, Sasuke?" Naruto turned to his raven-haired friend.
"What, dobe?" the raven mumbled; he rarely called Naruto by his real name.
"Bastard! It's Naruto! Na-ru-to!" the blonde snorted, glaring.
The corners of Sasuke's lips twitched into a smirk as he turned his dark gaze to the blue-eyed boy beside him, "Do-be," he teased, "What do you want?"
Huffing, Naruto rolled his eyes, dropping the argument, "How come you never respond to those girls? If I had all those girls chasing me, I'd be so freaking happy!" he laughed, "You're really weird, Sasuke-teme."
"I don't care about their love. Their love is superficial and will disappear when they're mature enough to realize that I will never like them."
"Why, though? A lot of them are really pretty!"
Sasuke sighed, "You're superficial, too. Love isn't about physical appearance, usuratonkachi; it's about, well, feeling something," he shrugged, "Besides, I already love someone else."
Naruto's sky blue eyes widened as he leaned closer to Sasuke, "Who?" he practically screeched, completely ignoring the raven's earlier statement on love.
Despite the blonde's idiocy, Sasuke still could not fight off the small smile, "Someone that I spend every day with."
"Huh? You spend your days with someone other than me?" he blinked at Sasuke, his large eyes showing slight hurt, "But I thought we were best friends! I thought that-"
"You really are an idiot," Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I never said we were best friends, and you are the only person I see every day."
Naruto cocked his head to the side, blue eyes clashing with onyx, "But then…" he stared at Sasuke, confusion clear in his face.
"Dobe," Sasuke whispered. Before Naruto could protest, the raven's lips pressed softly against the blonde's. It was a quick kiss, innocent like a child's, yet still full of passion, though it lasted a mere second. Sasuke pulled away and looked into Naruto's eyes, "I love you."
"Idiot," he murmured, his eyes staring unfocused ahead. For a long time after that, Naruto had continued to remain on his little island of denial. He never spoke those words to Sasuke, yet the raven-haired male always stuck by his side. It was still strange how, though Naruto was in denial, he could remember one night were he'd allowed himself to let go. The night before Sasuke left his life.
Naruto lay on his bed, his eyes open, staring at the ceiling. It had been two years since Sasuke's confession, and the blonde commonly thought about it. While he admired Sasuke, looked up to him, and even felt some attraction towards the raven – after all, he was attractive, there was no denying that – Naruto was still left confused. The denial had begun to fade away, but barely; bit by bit, piece by piece. The more time he spent with Sasuke, the less he wanted to be anywhere else.
The sound of his window squeaking open caused Naruto to jolt up. A silhouette was crouched on his window sill, carefully making its way into Naruto's bedroom. The blonde opened his mouth and began yelling, but a hand came from what seemed nowhere, clamping over his lips, "Hush, usuratonkachi! You'll wake up the entire village," the familiar voice hissed.
"Sasuke?" Naruto blinked in disbelief; sure enough, onyx eyes and a pale face, illuminated to a ghostly glow, sat inches from his face. Slowly, the raven removed his hand and backed up slightly. The blonde tilted his head to the side, "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you, dobe," he responded immediately.
Naruto felt his face heat up and he turned away, though he doubted the dark-haired male could see his red cheeks. Sasuke often said things like that; things that embarrassed Naruto. He had a funny way of giving out compliments and 'kind' gestures, though; it was always coupled with an insult. Like Sasuke himself was embarrassed to be saying such things. Naruto shook his head slightly, "You couldn't have waited until tomorrow? I kind of need sleep so I can be in top shape for the chunin exams tomorrow," he rolled his eyes slightly.
"It won't matter," Sasuke shrugged slightly, "No matter how much sleep you get, you're still you," he smirked slightly, "You'll still suck."
"If you came here only to insult me, then go away," Naruto growled.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, "Yes."
"No," Sasuke shifted slightly so he was sitting beside Naruto, leaning his back against the headboard, "I want to be with you," he whispered, "forever and always."
Naruto stared in disbelief at his friend, who stared calmly right back, as though he hadn't just spoken probably the most heart-attack-inducing phrase in the world. The blonde licked his lips, "Sasuke-"
"I should probably go now. If sleep really will help you win, you'll need all the sleep you can get," he smirked as Naruto shoved him, before jumping through the blonde's window and disappearing.
Of course, Naruto hadn't been able to fall asleep, yet he still managed to beat Neji. Then Sasuke had shown up late, the Sand betrayed Konoha – though they were close allies now – and Sasuke's curse seal was trying to take over yet again. It wasn't long after that, Sasuke met Itachi, and then his personality took on a complete one-eighty, and then he left for Orochimaru. He left Naruto behind. With a sad sigh, he hit his head against the tree. "You said forever and always," the blonde whispered. The rain got heavier, pounding against his scarred cheeks. He shut his eyes, salty tears mixing with the rain.
