Save to My Recipes
Arugula and Bacon Quiche
Servings: 6 to 8
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- 6 bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 8 ounces arugula, stems trimmed, leaves coarsely chopped (about 5 1/2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
For crust: Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in enough ice water to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill until dough is firm enough to roll out, about 30 minutes. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim dough overhang to 1 inch. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick high-standing sides. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze crust 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Bake crust until golden brown, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 20 minutes. Transfer crust to rack. Reduce temperature to 375°F.
For filling: Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and drain. Add shallots to same skillet and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add arugula and sauté until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add balsamic vinegar; toss to combine.
Sprinkle arugula mixture, then bacon over crust. Whisk cream, eggs, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Stir in cheese. Pour mixture into crust.
Bake quiche until filling is slightly puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

Youngs faces anxious wait on knee injury
ESPNscrum Staff
October 25, 2011
Youngs crossed the line for England against Argentina © Getty Images
Leicester Tigers' scrum-half Ben Youngs is set for more time on the sidelines after returning from World Cup duty injured.
The 22-year-old half-back underwent the surgeon's knife on his left knee prior to the World Cup campaign but is yet to feature for the Tigers after England's quarter-final exit. Last Friday saw the return of England's Toby Flood and Manu Tuilagi, among others, to the starting line-up for Richard Cockerill's side and the director of rugby would not be drawn on how long he expects to be without his first-choice scrum-half.
"We need to get the full low-down on what happened while he has been with England," Cockerill told the Leicester Mercury. "But, at the moment, his knee is not good enough to play at this level.
"He's a world-class player and left us four months ago fully fit and has come back with a pretty average knee so we need to get on top of that. We end up taking the hit player-wise but that always seems to be the way.
"His knee isn't great and we have to manage and look after it and make sure he is fully fit when he comes back, which he is not at the moment."
Another of Leicester's returning charges is set to return for the side against Sale on Friday. Martin Castrogiovanni has been struggling with a hamstring injury though should be fit to bolster the Tigers' front-row.

F.Stokes - Lets Build
Artist: F.Stokes
Producer: Kleber Fleury
Album: Fearless Beauty
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 3 votes )
F. Stokes' latest single was only recently pressed to (figurative) wax, but its inception dates back decades. According to the Chicago-by-way-of-Arkansas emcee, Lets Build was, "made in 1985 or '86 in a welfare office on the Southside of Chicago." The artist continues, "This piece is derived from the cold, empty, hopeless emotions I felt when I saw my mother filling out the paper work as me and my sister waited." And its stylistic roots go even deeper; Kleber Fleury's minimal, hand drum-led production and the rapper's dynamic, sparsely-rhymed bars bring to mind classic spoken-word works by Gil Scott-Heron and The Last Poets. Set in the streets of Bed-Stuy, Maria Juranic's visuals pay tribute to the cinema of Spike Lee. Fans can find Let's Build, the reader-approved Carpe Diem and much more on Stokes' Fearless Beauty LP, out now online.

Oh wow, I guess every one gets something different. I got a Season 1 Combo Breaker pack for Killer Instincts! and there's a couple of free shows too.
For Xbox 360, Defiance full game is showing up free right now too. It's like Black Friday hit Xbox Live early!
Very nice. I think it's live now. I remember they offered Forza 5 a couple months ago and now this, another full retail brand new Xbox One game! Xbox Live is so much better.
It's fappening!
Pretty much, but their fans will still drool over those list of games they listed to make it seem it's better than the One's first year.
For those few blaming the devs, Sumo Digital also developed Forza Horizon 2 for the 360 which received critical acclaim. LBP just doesn't have the foundation to make it anymore better than the previ...

"Paper-thin walls and no way to shut out the light"
"While the room itself was lovely, and the location was decent, the room I was in had no curtains, just shutters, and those shutters didn't quite block out the light at night. Added to that, the walls were paper-thin, so the entire night I struggled to sleep between the noise of the street and the noises from other rooms. I also was a little put off that when I showed up a bit early (before official 3:00pm check-in) that I was greeted more as an annoyance than a customer. I understood the room wouldn't be ready, but even an offer to take the bags would have helped."
9 out of 10 | Alan stayed April 29, 2010
"Good choice for a Toronto Hotel"
"Very reasonably priced hotel and central for everything in Toronto that you would need. Staff very friendly and helpful."
8 out of 10 | Suzanne stayed August 20, 2006
"Pretty much no frills (except for the refrigerator in the room), but the room was nicely furnished and you can't beat the location."
9 out of 10 | Robert stayed May 14, 2006
"The Staff @ the Victoria were very helpful & friendly, the rooms were very clean. Our entire group enjoyed their stay. we plan on going back to T.O. soon & will definitely stay @ the Victoria Hotel. I would recommend this hotel."
6 out of 10 | Adam stayed May 02, 2006
"It seems as though they are stuck in a void between being a bargain hotel and a great boutique hotel. Needs a lot of work on the cleaning front. Conceirges were pretty bad...not very attentive or responsive, and generally lacking in any sort of personality."
9 out of 10 | Paul stayed April 22, 2006
"The hotel reminded me of a European hotel so in that respect it was unique in a most positive way. The room wasn't overly big but certainly adequate. There were two especially great features about the hotel. One was location, location, location. The second was the staff who were nothing short of outstanding. Helpful, willing to do anything to make your stay better and personable in that they made the guests the focal point. Great stay and I would definitely go again."
9 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed April 19, 2006
"Very centrally located in Toronto's business district, small, clean, quiet. The rooms are small and there are no "central facilities" but its right on Yonge street, very safe and great for either business or vacationers that are out and about most of the day. Everything was clean and well functioning."
2 out of 10 | Jacqueline stayed March 19, 2006
"When we had checked into the hotel, the smoke detector was going off in one of the rooms on our floor for several hours, even when we called down to the desk to have someone check it out - when we left the room to view the city, the alarm was still beeping. When we came back for the evening, the alarm was finished but the room was not cleaned - as we soon found out. When settling down to get some sleep, we smelt that the room was either not cleaned or not cleaned up properly as we could smell the remnants of someone having been sick earlier before when they had the room we were in. The carpet and bedskirt smelt heavily of vomit. We called down to switch rooms and were unhappy that we were given that room. The night manager came up only to quickly tell us that we could switch rooms, no apology, nothing offered for our inconveniences. We had asked for a refund as clearly, this hotel needed some changes and certain "inconveniences" kept us from enjoying our stay. The hotel manager for the evening, refused to say anything to us but "No, we cannot have that." The room we were placed in was smaller than our original room - but it was late so we kept the room. Early on in the morning, we heard the cleaning staff speaking loudly outside in the hallway before cleaning other rooms - They were also testing their smoke detectors in the rooms they were in... there was no notice given that this would be happening in the early morning, and this woke us both up from a short sleep from the night before. When we were checking out of the hotel, there was only a sign on the wall by the elevator and on the inside mentioning that only on March 22nd 2006, would they be testing fire alarms, but nothing anywhere mentioning about the smoke detector testings in the rooms. I was not happy. As well, when we finally reached the lobby, the consierge did not ask us about our stay, how we enjoyed the room etc. He was friendly but did not go any further to assist us in that area. The website for the Hotel Victoria mentiones Gym/Pool Ameneties... there was nothing. That was not even brought up to us upon checking in. I was very unsatisfied with this hotel. I would NOT recommend anyone staying there as this may occur to some more than once."
10 out of 10 | Thomas stayed February 21, 2006
"The Victoria Hotel was a real find! Great location, large comfortable room, all the details were very good. Will definitely go back whenever we need to stay in the city."
4 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed January 15, 2006
"The plumbing was horrible, we had to call the front desk to come and unclog the toilet. This did not work, and with every usage, we had to use the plunger( that the guy at the front desk left for us) to unclog the toilet ourselves. I have stayed in this hotel before, and never had these problems."
8 out of 10 | Charles stayed December 27, 2005
"The hotel provided a warm refuge on a cold winter's night. The room was very comfortable. The clerk helped me find everything that I needed in the downtown area and his recommendations were most helpful."
4 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed November 09, 2005
"Pillows were rock hard; friends traveling with us spent 2 sleepless nights because of noisy neighbors who entertained with their door open; subway noise led to sleep-reduced nights."
3 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed October 18, 2005
"I dropped something behind the bed in my room, and encountered a disgusting layer of dust. It was excessive, and I felt compelled to wash my hands afterwards. Otherwise, the room appeared clean. Nevertheless, I was then aware that I was sleeping above filth. The front desk staff is surly and uncommunicative, with the exception of a young girl and a gentleman who though pleasant, is struggling with English. The latter two were at least doing their best to be pleasant."
9 out of 10 | Neil stayed August 27, 2005
"Great hotel but, bit disappointed that we weren't told that the restaurant was closed for refurbishment, we were given ideas on where to get breakfast but they gave no refund for no breakfast, it was supposedly included in the price."
6 out of 10 | Manu stayed July 15, 2005
"Frustrated as the web site stated that breakfast would be included.However on arrival we found rennovations taking place and were then told that breakfast was unnavailable.We were given a complimentary b/fast on the last day but that was all."
7 out of 10 | Matthew stayed July 12, 2005
"The hotel was a little 'tired'. Although the room was comfortable and clean, the decor and furnishings required some updating. The public areas of the hotel were rather shabby however there appeared to be some work in progress. The price remained good value however, especially with the convenient downtown location."
9 out of 10 | Matthys stayed April 11, 2005
"Very good value for money."
4 out of 10 | Jeanette stayed March 20, 2005
"If you like a lightshow this is a great hotel to stay in, electrical sparks are flying every time you turn in your bed."
8 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed January 28, 2005
"I'm a repeat customer. The continental breakfast is as added bonus. But the main reason for my stay is the location. It's a five minute walk from Union Station. If you don't have to use Pearson Airport, then don't - take the train from Ottawa instead!"
8 out of 10 | D. bridget stayed December 03, 2004
"The Lobby needs some work. After all the 1st impression is the most important. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was spotless ( very important to me). The location was fabulous for downtown Toronto, being very close to Union Station, the subway and the underground "Path". My sister and I are going to make it an annual event and stay at this hotel."
7 out of 10 | Anne marie stayed October 14, 2004
"Hotel was fine. The room we stayed in had very little natural light but I presume that is why it was so reasonable."
8 out of 10 | Arie stayed October 04, 2004
"There is one lady at the reception who looks and sounds Spanish (Latin) and she has a mouth so big, the CN Tower would easily fit in. She starts yells at you when things aren�t going her way and is outspoken customer unfriendly. First day on the job should have been the last day as well, but she was back the next morning so she has worked there at least for 2 days. Or maybe even still works there ..."
8 out of 10 | John stayed July 09, 2004
"Parking is a problem, and wasn't accurately described in the online material. You had to walk three blocks to the public garage. Payment process at public garage was confusing and annoying and not well explained. Having to stop the car in a no standing zone on a busy street to unload and load was no fun."
10 out of 10 | Michael stayed March 05, 2004
"Excellent hotel. Excellent staff. I will stay at this hotel everytime I travel to Toronto."
9 out of 10 | Joan stayed February 22, 2004
"Bedding was awful....sheets too small, bedspread too thin and undersized. Mattress Okay.....some peeling wallpaper in the bath area..."
9 out of 10 | Christine stayed January 16, 2004
"Nice, quiet, small hotel - great alternative to bigger, noisier ones in the city-centre."
5 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed December 17, 2003
"You get what you pay for - an average hotel in the middle of the business district for a cheap price."
8 out of 10 | Stan stayed November 02, 2003
"This is a very nice small hotel on Yonge Street. It is near the subway station and near a few streetcar lines. It has been nicely redecorated and seemed very clean. The drawback is the size of the room I had - very small and because it is in the middle of a city block there was no view from the window. They offered a continental breakfast downstairs which was convenient but not especially noteworthy. It was a good deal for what I paid for the room."

Implement policy before drug testing.
Question: Mary Lou has always been one of our more animated employees; often sharing funny stories and horsing around a bit with others in the workplace. But for the past several days, she's been acting a little over-the-top, even for her. She's been talking boisterously and incessantly and bothering other employees, even after they tell her they're too busy to chat. She also has been leaving her desk to go to the ladies' room several times more than usual during the workday.
In the past, her performance has been consistently impeccable, despite her spirited personality. However, along with her recent "amped-up" behavior, her performance has tanked. There have been rumors that Mary Lou is using illegal drugs, and though I suspect it might be true, I'm not sure how to discipline her without more proof that drug use is the problem.
I'd like to require Mary Lou to take a drug test. May I do that?
Answer: Oregon civil rights laws don't specifically address the issue of drug testing employees. But the absence of specific statutes in this area doesn't mean that employers have carte blanche to conduct drug tests in every situation. In fact, while it's generally legal for private-sector employers to conduct drug tests, you should proceed very carefully, because this type of testing can intrude on an employee's constitutional privacy rights.
So how can you conduct drug tests without landing your company on the wrong end of a lawsuit? Here are a few tips:
Have a clear policy
Your first step is to implement a clear written policy on drug testing and to fully explain the policy to all your employees. Work with your employment law attorney and a qualified laboratory testing service to draft a legal policy that advises employees they could be subject to testing.
Articulate your standard for testing
Advise employees how they can be selected for testing. Although some employers may choose to test randomly, many employment attorneys suggest that you limit testing to situations when the employer has a reasonable suspicion of drug use, or when an employee is involved in a workplace incident or accident.
Apply your policy consistently
To avoid charges of discrimination or wrongful discharge, enforce your drug testing policy in a fair and consistent manner. If you test employees randomly, be certain you can document your selection methods in order to show that they are truly random. If you test employees based on a reasonable suspicion, be certain you can articulate the facts (not merely rumors or gossip) that support your reasonable suspicion that an employee is using illegal drugs.
You can set different drug testing standards for different classifications of workers, as long as your standards are based on business reasons. For example, you might decide to set higher drug testing standards for your delivery drivers than for your clerical staff.
Obviously, it would be discriminatory to drug-test only male employees, or only employees under a specific age. Likewise, you should realize that employees who suffer on-the-job injuries fall into a protected class, and thus it would be discriminatory to drug-test only employees who get hurt at work. So, if you test employees based on their involvement in a work-related accident, you should test all employees involved, regardless of whether they were injured.
Provide advance notice
It is typically recommended that you provide your current employees with at least 30 days advance notice before starting a new drug-testing program. Without such notice, your employees have a "reasonable expectation of privacy," an expectation that they'll be free from drug testing in the workplace. Spring a surprise drug test on an employee without a drug testing policy in place, and you may get a surprise of your own - in the form of a lawsuit.
If you do drug-test employees in a proper manner, you can discipline or terminate employees who screen positive for use of illegal drugs, because such individuals are not protected by federal or state disability laws. The only possible exception would be an employee using medical marijuana for a qualifying disability, which an employer may be required to reasonably accommodate. The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that medical marijuana may be a reasonable accommodation for a disability. The Oregon Supreme Court heard oral arguments on this case this month and a decision is pending.
In your situation with Mary Lou, ask yourself the following questions: Did you previously advise her that your company has a drug testing policy? Did you explain in the policy that employees could be tested based on reasonable suspicion of drug use? Did you provide employees, including Mary Lou, sufficient advance notice of the policy? What facts and evidence led to the suspicion of drug use, and is the suspicion reasonable in light of those facts and evidence?
If you answered no to any of these questions, watch out. Instead of requiring a drug test, you'll be much safer addressing Mary Lou's specific performance deficiencies by following your regular disciplinary policies. If Mary Lou is acting in a bizarre or inappropriate manner, arriving to work late, taking too many breaks or simply not completing her job duties satisfactorily, focus on those issues and apply your existing discipline rules as you would with other employees with similar performance deficiencies.

Doral, FL 33172
Category: Dance Clubs
Region: Doral
You gotta be wondering what this World Cup frenzy is all about. Sure, soccer is an international sport, and Miami is definitely an international city, but when was the last time you were able to find a seat in your favorite sports bar? Apparently it's become the most-watched sporting event in recent history, outdrawing both the NBA Finals and the World Series. Crazy, eh? No doubt some of its popularity has something to do with the Heat's meltdown in the last two games of the finals, leaving sports fans seeking solace and other teams to cheer on without fear of disappointment. So save a shout-out for Cricket Wireless and La Covacha (10730 NW 25th St., Doral) for hosting the Cricket Music Festival and Soccer Tournament, a viewing party and some family-friendly activities this Sunday. The action kicks off at noon when teams from Doral, Miami Lakes, and Coral Gables compete for local soccer honors. And to cap off the all-day event, fans can enjoy a special concert featuring reggae and reggaeton artist Joey Montana and Latin Grammy nominee Andre Cabas. Anyone interested in attending the event can pick up tickets at any local Cricket Wireless store.

- Technology and Network and Sales Organization Awarded Global ISO 9001:2008 Certification—Two Firsts for Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Roshan, Afghanistan's leading total communications provider, today announced that the company has been awarded the highest quality recognition of ISO 9001:2008 for its technology, network and sales operations. ISO is gained by organizations that focus on improving company operations through utilizing performance principles such as strong customer focus, leadership, involvement of people, governance, factual approach to decision making and continual improvement.[1] Recognized in over 150 countries, the two certifications,—a first for any telecommunications operator in Afghanistan—were awarded to Roshan after a year-long rigorous evaluation process conducted by ISO certified auditors.
Over the last ten years, Roshan has been committed to bringing the best-in-class services to Afghanistan while focusing on quality and the overall customer experience. In September of 2011, the company's three time award-winning Customer Care Centre achieved ISO status—making it Afghanistan's first-ever ISO certification. The Customer Care Centre responds to over 30,000 calls per day in Dari, Pashto and English, and also offers a "Ladies Customer Centre" for Roshan's female subscribers.
"The company's guiding principle has been to provide all Afghans with access to mobile telephony, as well as to play a key role in the country's economic development, reconstruction, and redevelopment process," Karim Khoja, Roshan Chief Executive Officer, said. "As we embark on our ten year anniversary, with over half a billion dollars invested in our network including upgrading it to provide 3G services Roshan continues to deliver on the promise of providing quality to ensure the highest level of service through all customer touch points. Our customers tell us they consistently choose Roshan for the superior performance of our wide reaching network that, today, provides coverage to almost 65 percent of the population in all 34 provinces," Khoja added.
Roshan remains focused on delivering innovative products and services to meet the unique demands of the Afghan market. The company pioneered mobile data services in Afghanistan, becoming the first operator to introduce BlackBerry and data products. Roshan's data packages are differentiated to meet the varying needs of consumers, large corporate clients, and small business owners, alike. And, for the growing youth market Roshan introduced Kahkahshaan, an interactive content portal with robust local music, video and news content as well as access to social media.
About Roshan
Roshan (Telecom Development Company Afghanistan Ltd) is Afghanistan's leading total communications provider with over six million active subscribers and a network that covers over 230 cities and towns in all of the country's 34 provinces.
Roshan is a true Afghanistan success story, serving as a catalyst for economic growth and actively contributing to the country's long-term development. Since its inception eight years ago, Roshan has invested over $550 million in Afghanistan and is the country's single largest investor and taxpayer, contributing approximately five percent of the Afghan government's overall domestic revenue. Roshan directly employs more than 1,300 people, 20 percent of whom are women, and provides indirect employment to more than 35,000 people.
Roshan is deeply committed to Afghanistan's reconstruction and development. The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED), part of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), is a major shareholder of Roshan and promotes private initiatives and building economically sound enterprises in the developing world. Also owned in part by Monaco Telecom International (MTI) and TeliaSonera, Roshan brings international expertise to the country and is committed to the highest standards of network quality and coverage for the people of Afghanistan.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.

Chris Webby - Turnt Up
Artist: Chris Webby
Featuring: Dizzy Wright
Producer: Brix
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 5 votes )
After Saturday's THC-drenched festivities, casual marijuana users are likely feeling a little burnt out. For those elite smokers who rolled out of bed this morning ready for another blunt, through, Chris Webby's latest promo single could hardly be a better soundtrack to the first toke of 4/21. Released, along with DanTheMan's official visuals, in honor of the holiday, Turnt Up is a reggae-flavored ode to loud weed and free-flowing liquor. Joining the Norwalk, Connecticut rhymesayer over Brix' slow-rolling boardwork, Funk Volume's Dizzy Wright lends his rapid-fire flows to verse two. This record isn't attached to a larger project, but listeners craving more from Webby are strongly advised to check out his Bars on Me tape, released last fall and available at The DJBooth.

Driving ranges used to offer little more than an open field, a bucket of balls, and a little peace and quiet to shank your way to a lower handicap. Thankfully, that's changing—for the better. New golf centers emerging across the country feature everything from heated bays for year-round hitting to high-tech additions like auto-loading tees and devices that can track the location and distance of every shot. As you work on your game, here are the four best spots to tee off.
1. The Golf Club (Chelsea Piers, New York City): It's hard for New York City golfers to find time for a round, but practice on this spectacular four-tiered range along the west bank of the Hudson River is a great substitute. Pick a spot from one of the 52 tees and let it fly. As you admire your shot, the tee retracts into the floor and pops up fully loaded for the next one. This massive complex (which also offers hockey, hoops, bowling, a spa and a pub, among other pastimes) lets members practice year-round. They also offer video swing analysis from instructors at the Piers' indoor training center and golf academy. It pays to be an early riser: for $25, you can hit all the balls you want until 9:30 a.m. chelseapiers.com.
2. TopGolf (Dallas, Texas): Top Golf's locations resemble what might happen if Tron met Caddyshack—and maybe Dave & Busters. Every golf ball comes embedded with a microchip that allows players to track shots and win prizes. You earn points on proving—and improving—your accuracy by hitting targets from 20 yards to 250 yards. Check the screens installed in each bay and you'll see exactly where your ball landed. When playing with friends, scores get tallied automatically. There's also a fitting area that uses Doppler-based swing technology to help you design custom-built clubs while offering specially tailored advice on your swing. As if that weren't enough, you get to swing your clubs just mere feet from a fully stocked bar and a restaurant that features tons of guy-friendly fare like spicy chili and wings. The owners have a site under construction in Houston and are ready to build in Washington, D.C., Chicago and 10 other locations. topgolfusa.com.
3. Miles of Golf (Ypsilanti, Michigan): Located in the heart of Wolverine country, Miles of Golf offers a 27-acre facility that features more than 100 hitting bays. Unlike most ranges, though, half the bays here are heated, so you can practice all winter—no matter how much snow you have to walk through from the parking lot. The 10,000-square-foot pro shop has been rated one of the world's best since 1999 and includes three TrackMan radar systems that monitor your ball's flight. If you're looking for more formal instruction, visit the Kendall Academy of Golf— Michigan's largest—and get a hands-on critique from one of eight PGA professionals. milesofgolf.com
4. RedTail Golf Center (Beaverton, Oregon): Imagine Disneyland for duffers. Built in the heart of Nike country, this two-tiered driving range features a tool called the MyRYG Locker, a program that videotapes and monitors your every swing. Instructors can then perform a frame-by-frame critique that you can access from home. RedTail also uses a Doppler-based radar system called TrackMan that measures ball flight and club movements to give you instant readouts on flight trajectories, spin movements, and launch angles. Players can also create online profiles to enter scoring info and track progress. If you're really serious, you can slip on a K-Vest, a wireless system that lets you see a 3D rendering of your swing on an adjacent monitor. When you're finished at the range, walk over to RedTail Golf Course, an impressive 18-hole layout that stretches to more than 7,000 yards from the stud tees. A weekend round costs just $37. golfredtail.com

+1000 on the Home, Wine, Beer, Cheese Shop in Woodland Hills.
Amazing customer service...they've walked me through troubleshooting over the phone mid-brew.
Amazing knowledge...they convinced me to enter a brew into a different category than I originally was and I won a gold medal in the Strong Ale category at the 2012 LA County Fair.
Amazing selection...I don't think another shop has the extensive library of grains, hops, yeast, and equipment in So Cal like they do.
Amazing homebrew club...Maltose Falcons can't be beat when it comes to their history, event calendar, and members.
I like the Maltose Falcons and the shop, and they have by far the best club setup I have ever seen for meetings and whatnot. It's too bad they are so amazingly far away from my house. I am in Strand Brewers as they are by far the most convenient for me. Glenn, the owner is a nice guy and I like the shop in Torrance. I have been to Culver City several times, but gave up because I almost never had a good experience at that store, although I know several Pacific Gravity club members and do stuff with them socially. I was a member of Long Beach for a few years, but finally gave up on my membership as the traffic getting to Steinfillers for the meetings just got progressively worse over time. I do really like Steinfillers as a shop, though, and I thought the Long Beach club meetings were excellent in terms of organization.
Thanks for all the good replies guys. I was forced to go back to the same shop for a keg tap for guiness and they were way more helpful. I think it's one those places you establish a relationship and they treat you better (which still isn't right) but at least it's "better for me" gonna try the place in Fullerton for my next kit though.
Does a fish piss in its drinking water?
+1 to osheas, super helpful people. If I'm ever looking at something for more than a minute someone walks up and asks if I need help.
I want to try the more beer in riverside though, if only for their sheer size and volume of sales (online+offline)
Stein Fillers in Long Beach is a great place, and its my favorite place in the south LA/OC area.. All of the guys that work there are very nice and helpful. They usually have a great selection of hops, yeast, and grain (and extract kits). They will also mill your grain for you.
My two local shops are Culver City Brew Supply and South Bay Brewing Supply. My choice by far is South Bay...in my experience they are happy to help no matter your brewing experience. I just get a good vibe from the place. They are closed on Sundays though.
Last time I was in Culver City BS I mentioned I was looking to do 3gal. all grain batches and the guy acted like I was a complete fool. Luckily I only needed a packet of yeast for some cider, so I didn't need to spend any more $ there.
Brew on!
There is nothing on my horizon except everything. Everything is on my horizon - Dwight Schrute
Another +1 for Osheas. A cool little shop, with a nice selection. The guys have seemed nice enough and answered my newbie questions politely. Prices are a tad higher than what I have found online, but I like being able to walk in and look at what I'm about to purchase so its worth it.
I second South Bay Brewing Supply. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Didn't try to upsell me a bunch of gadgets and trinkets I didn't need. And they always seem willing to give advice and tips for the new (and perhaps overzealous!) first-time brewer.
Another vote for Addison's Homebrew Provisions in North OC. The owner is really helpful and really appreciates the business. They also have a nice forum and are likely to have pretty much anything I need. O'Shea's is great for South OC, but I'm really becoming partial to AHP. They are really committed to their customers and getting more folks into homebrewing, including weekend brewing seminars, etc. Their prices are competitive with online vendors, which is almost hard for me to believe. Great LHBS!
Another Vote for SteinFillers.Cal West Hydroponics in Riverside is starting to stock more brewing stuff.
