"We have an open vision for cloud computing," said
"At Google, as at salesforce.com, we are committed to enabling developer success with cloud computing," said Tom Stocky, director of product management at Google. "Bringing together Google App Engine and Force.com will foster the creation of new Web applications and further demonstrate the power of the Web as a platform."
Force.com for Google App Engine - Connecting the Clouds
Force.com for Google App Engine provides a new set of tools and services that will foster the creation of new kinds of Web and business applications built and delivered entirely in the cloud. Instead of managing and maintaining their own client/server infrastructure, developers can use cloud computing infrastructure from Google and salesforce.com to build, run and deliver new applications on the Web. Web applications developed on App Engine are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as traffic and data storage needs grow. App Engine offers a rich developer community and libraries to power consumer-oriented interactive web applications.
Similarly, Force.com provides developers a complete environment to quickly build business applications that run on salesforce.com's trusted global infrastructure. Now, consumer-oriented Web applications built on App Engine can leverage enterprise data stored in Force.com.
For end users of these applications, the integration of Force.com and Google App Engine means that applications can be powered by both systems while providing a seamless user experience and the trust and reliability of two of the world's leading cloud computing platforms.
Using Force.com for Google App Engine, developers can build applications that span both salesforce.com and Google's cloud computing platforms, and take advantage of the sum of their features as desired. Force.com for Google App Engine provides:
-- A means to leverage Python in a scalable cloud environment and interact directly with database, workflow and logic capabilities in Force.com. -- Force.com for Google App Engine enables the creation of Python libraries that when placed on Google App Engine, allow App Engine apps to read and write to Force.com using the Force.com API. -- App Engine developers get access to Force.com services and capabilities including mobile, analytics, security and sharing models, user authentication, multi-language and currency support and more.
"In times like these, companies are asking for ways they can take
advantage of the low-cost and low-risk benefits of cloud computing for their
enterprise application development projects," said
Building on Success
The companies have been working together to advance philanthropic causes as well as the benefits of cloud computing for developers and customers. Beginning in 2003 with joint work around the creation of Google.org, the alliance has been extended to work together on mashups, Salesforce for Google AdWords(TM), Group Edition featuring Google AdWords, OpenSocial, Salesforce for Google Apps(TM), Force.com for Google Data APIs and now Force.com for Google App Engine.
More than 5,000 salesforce.com customers are using Google Apps today, and more than 10,000 are using Salesforce for Google AdWords. And, 5 of the top 10 most popular applications on the Force.com AppExchange marketplace come from Google-related partners, demonstrating the growing developer opportunity and customer demand for third-party applications that leverage multiple cloud computing platforms.
Force.com for Google App Engine - Harnessing the Power of Cloud Computing for Developers
Force.com for Google App Engine will help developers create new Web and business applications that leverage the capabilities of App Engine, at the same time allowing access to Force.com data and APIs from directly within App Engine projects and applications. Force.com for App Engine includes:
-- Getting started guide -- Python library documentation -- Examples showing Python code accessing Force.com -- Testing harness for the provided library -- Wiki FAQ page on developer.force.com with best practices, latest tips and tricks
Force.com for Google App Engine is freely available at http://developer.force.com/appengine and at http://code.google.com.

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. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

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 ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

As schools cut budgets, strains on counselors grow
"Parents get angry when you don't do more," said Robert Bardwell, past president of the New England Association for College Admissions Counseling. "And it's sad because we should be doing more."
To cope, Wagner runs her office like a sort of triage center: She has a brochure, book or online resource for nearly every student concern. Scholarships? Check. Requirements to enter a state college? Check. Trouble deciding what career path to choose? She's got a book on that, too.
Even with her limited time, Wagner's impact is noticeable. Banners to colleges where students have been accepted hang from the walls - this year's graduating class includes students going to state colleges and prestigious Ivy League universities. Parents and students send her letters of thanks. "It has been an amazing turnaround," one parent wrote. "He is now on the honor roll (all A's) and seems happier than ever and is planning on college."
She advises her students with the candor of a strict supervisor and the concern of a caring mother. On a recent weekday, she is scheduled to help register about 20 freshmen for next year's classes. For many, it's the first time she's meeting one-on-one with them. They're pulled out of a gym class and wait to be called in from a small lobby outside her office.
Mankin, whose talents are evident but whose grades have flagged, is among them.
What does he want to be when he gets older? How does he plan to get there?
"The first thing is getting a high school diploma, because then you'll get a better job," she explains.
Mankin doesn't quite know what he wants to do. He's thought of something with cars or maybe an invention; a math teacher who saw him stick up for another student who was being teased recently suggested he might make a good lawyer someday, and the idea is appealing.
But since middle school he's lagged behind in classes. He says school stopped seeming relevant to him. He started hanging out more, going to the beach or movies with friends.
"I don't think I ever saw a counselor in middle school," he says.
Mankin says he would like to study at Florida State University, where his mother attended, but he'd need to get his GPA up to at least a 3.3 to attend. Wagner goes through scenarios that could bring him there. He still has three years to turn things around.
"It's doable," she says.
"How do you study?" Wagner asks.
"Read," Blake replies.
"You can't just read," says Wagner. "You have to memorize."
She takes him through a list of study techniques. She shows him how even just handing in homework assignments could dramatically improve his grades.
"You know what you have to do, right?" Wagner asks.
The boy nods.
Wagner calls in the next student.
The work is never finished. This summer, Wagner will go to the office for a day every couple of weeks, registering new students for next year's classes. In the past, she's been paid for this, but after years of budget cuts, she is now a summer volunteer. She does not complain. "This is my school," she says, simply.

Silver Bull Resources, International Tower Hill To Present At Proactive One2One Forum In Vancouver 0 commentsDec 11, 2012 1:05 PM
We have Silver Bull Resources (TSE:SVB) andInternational Tower Hill Mines (TSE:ITH) (AMEX:ITH)presenting at our last event of 2012 on Thursday 13th December, from 1:30pm in Vancouver.
Silver Bull is working hard at increasing the resources on its Sierra Mojada in northern Mexico, as it consistently announces high grade silver and zinc results from an underground twinning drill program at the site.
The twinning drill program is expected to wrap up at the end the year, after which the company will initiate a revised NI 43-101 resource update on the Shallow Silver and Zinc Zones, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2013.
Just today, it revealed the first batch of drill hole results from its underground campaign in the high grade zinc zone at Sierra Mojada, returning grades of more than 16% zinc. It hit 40.40 metres at 13.93% zinc in hole T12116, including 11.5 metres at 21.93% zinc.
The results form part of a 5,000 metre drill program underway at Sierra Mojada, with two underground rigs twinning a historical long hole data set along a high grade silver zone and an underlying and adjacent high grade zinc zone, both with a defined strike of 1.5 kilometres and located at the eastern end of the Shallow Silver Zone.
The aim of the campaign is to increase confidence in the historical long hole data set, which represents 38,000 metres of drilling that was either "severely restricted" or discarded in the company's latest NI 43-101 resource report on the Shallow Silver zone in July.
Recent high grade silver results include 15.05 metres of at 463.55 grams per tonne (g/t) silver, including 3.1 metres at 1,654.92 g/t silver in hole T12090.
The company also recently reported what it called "exceptional" preliminary metallurgical results on the silver and zinc mineralization at Sierra Mojada.
Aside from the Mexico project, the silver and zinc explorer has further upside potential from 2 mineral licenses in Gabon, Central Africa, which are prospective for gold, manganese, and iron ore.
Our second presenter International Tower Hill Mines is looking to quickly develop its Livengood gold project in Alaska, today announcing gold recoveries as high as 88 per cent from the property.
A feasibility study for the project is on track for release in the first half of next year. The company said today that metallurgical studies have shown that gold recovery for the four main rock types that make up the majority of the Livengood gold resource, using gravity/whole ore Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) recovery, will range between 77 and 88 per cent.
At the end of last month, the company updated shareholders on its progress at Livengood, noting that next year, it will focus on determining the most cost effective and feasible development path for the project, which has 933 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources at an average grade of 0.55 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, for 16.5 million contained ounces, at a 0.22 g/t gold cut off.
The company will also look to outline a staged funding strategy for the asset's development, and will implement an "aggressive" permitting path for the plan.
Key milestones for Livengood that have been outlined for a target of mid next year include major site engineering and environmental work, which is already largely complete.
The company has also made key land acquisitions as well as infrastructure and logistical assessments for integration into different development scenarios, and has made initial contacts for potential project financing.
"The exceptionally large and strategically located Livengood gold deposit has a spectrum of development opportunities and ITH is focused on optimizing those opportunities to meet the challenges of today's market," said president and CEO, Donald C. Ewigleben, in November after his initial two months on the job.
Ewigleben served as the chairman of the board since November 2011 and was involved during the early stages of Livengood's exploration and development in the 1990s.
International Tower Hill has noted that it not only offers "unprecedented leverage to gold", trading at around $13 per contained measured and indicated ounce in late November, but the project is also located in one of the most stable mining regions in the world.
DATE: Thursday 13th December
TIME: 1.15pm arrival for a 1:30pm start
VENUE: Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver - 645 Howe Street, 2nd Floor
ROOM: Vancouver Room
OTHER: Complimentary wine & canape reception

Managers need to return to the BlackRock roots. Look at employees as people. Reward hard work and loyalty. Don't just look at the bottom line. The better you treat your employees - the better the work product will be.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

I ordered this table and the quality is wonderful for the price. It is very rich looking and is very well made. I've ordered a second one; this is a beautiful little table for a super price, and it shipped very quickly. I am very, very happy!

Brookside Fossil End Tables
By Diane B. from Valrico, FL on Apr 24, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I wanted an attractive table with a stone or simulated top that was easy to wipe clean for my family room. I grew tired of wood or laminated topped tables that showed wear easily. These are very nice, they have a natural stone look and I have high hopes that these tables (with some care) will hold up nicely in that respect. They have a solid metal base with good weight (no worries about anyone tipping these over.) I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Nicer than I expected
By Donna S. from Twinsburg, OH on Mar 29, 2012
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Casual Do-It-Yourselfer, Stylish
I saw the same table at a local furniture store for a much higher price. It is a good size--bigger than the picture makes it appear. The only negative thing I can say is that the little allen wrench was missing from the kit to put the table together. Luckily, I had one handy from another piece I'd recently purchased. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the look and the quality.

Difficult to assemble
By Dante Z. from Ellicott City, MD on Oct 25, 2011
I have rebuilt old british sports cars, added a wing onto my house, and remodeled the entire firts floor...all these with little outside assistance; however, I still had to leave one or more screws undone when assembling this thing because the holes did not line up. Forewarned is forearmed.

Sarah Jaffe Plays Release Show in Dallas Tonight
Sarah Jaffe has announced the addition of Josh T. Pearson as support for her Record Release show at Dallas' Majestic Theatre tonight, August 23rd. The show celebrates the release of her third full-length studio album Don't Disconnect, which is due out on August 19th via Jaffe's longtime label Kirtland Records. "I'm really excited to be joined by Josh Pearson," said Jaffe, "I 've been a long-time fan and I am intensely looking foward to seeing him play in such a beautiful theater." Pearson, also a native Texan, gained critical acclaim across the world for his solo debut Last of the Country Gentlemen in 2011. This show with Jaffe marks Pearson's first live show since 2012.
Don't Disconnect is her third full-length album and the first Jaffe recorded with Midlake's McKenzie Smith. It's also is her most atmospheric and electronic release yet, continuing her evolution away from her more folky and acoustic beginnings. The 12 song set was recorded this past winter at Smith's Redwood Studios in Denton, TX and produced a number of standout tracks, including first single "Lover Girl" which Interview Magazine heralds as "sexy and downtempo, laced with slippery synths, it's an argument in favor of evolution." NPR's Robin Hilton also expressed his enthusiasm for Jaffe's new sound, calling out "Some People Will Tell You" - " it is just so big and bold and beautiful." Check out both tracks below.
Jaffe just wrapped up her first round of touring in support of Don't Disconnect which saw her out on the west coast supporting The Polyphonic Spree. She'll hit the road again in September with Astronautalis for a run of midwest and east coast dates, all of which can be found below.

12/3/2014 - Symptoms and Treatment of Mitral Valve Disease
Mitral Valve Disease can lead to irregular heartbeat and heart failure, which may be life threatening. However, people with Mitral Valve Disease don't always experience symptoms until it is too late. The mitral valve is located between the chambers of the heart and keeps blood flowing through the heart properly. When the mitral valve isn't functioning as it should, blood flows backwards and the heart cannot supply the body with enough oxygen, causing fatigue and shortness of breath. Join Cardiothoracic Surgeon Bradford Blakeman, MD, Medical Director, Heart Valve Institute of St. Mary Medical Center to learn symptoms, causes, how to diagnose and treat Mitral Valve Disease.
Location: St. Mary Medical Center, Patient Tower, 1500 S. Lake Park Ave., Hobart, IN
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

If Pope John Paul II is now
If John Paul is a saint, then there is a heaven and there is a hell. Then there must be a God and all the beliefs that go with it.
Most of us knew who St. John Paul II was. Our family was lucky enough to even see and hear him when we were in Rome.
Pope Francis adds greatly to John Paul II's canonization because Francis is popular, even with those who don't realize that both popes have the same faith and beliefs that the Church has had for 2,000 years.
Pope Francis has a fresh approach and doesn't want to focus on the controversial beliefs like abortion, contraception and marriage. Pope Francis wants the Church to show her love to everyone and welcome all into the Church first.
Francis gave the analogy of the Church as a field hospital on a battlefield. When people come with wounds, you don't treat them for high blood pressure or cholesterol.
In other words, Pope Francis holds firm on the controversial issues of today, but sees the person first and the divisive issue second. See the sinner, not the sin. You can't love the sin, but you can love the sinner and that love can change their--our--life.
St. John Paul II had a famous saying: "Be not afraid." Mostly, do not be afraid to admit that we need God in our life. Like the other saints throughout history, John Paul II--and his Church, which was founded by Jesus Christ (no, not by the apostles or other humans)--probably also meant do not be afraid to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
After all, God knows the number of every hair on your head!

- Bella EderaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 22/11/2014The restaurant is beautiful to look at and the service is respectful, keeping our wine glasses filled and removing plates we had finished. The prawn risotto lacked the creaminess expected in a risotto, the lobster linguini was delicious, the veal picatta (lemony) was more butter sauce than lemon flavoured, the scallops and tagliani pasta was terrific, as were the scallops as a entree, small but served beautifully.
- KoudsDined on 17/11/2014Delicieuses tagliatelles au homard. la tomate mozzarella pourrait etre mieux decoree et assaisonnee. l'eclairage du restaurant est a revoir.Special Features:
- Late lunch at 4 pm at Edera.natarhDined on 27/9/2014The restaurant was completely empty. Only the two of us. The food was good. Simple and not too elaborate. We will need to try that place once more in a proper time when we will be able to better judge the service. The ambient being empty did not give us a good opportunity to know how it would be when a good number of guests would be having lunch or diner. We have asked for a very basic, simple lunch. The food was not bad. Just tasting good enough to eat with no complain.Special Features:
- Business lunchAMK53Dined on 22/9/2014Very relaxed and hospitable venue for a recent business lunch. The food was superb and "off-menu" requests accommodated cheerfullySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not a good experiencemariobDined on 30/8/2014Been there after a few years since my last visit and we were bitterly disappointed. The food and service are still ok, not great, but the place has lost its buzz. Half empty, people making no effort with any sort of dress code. It just doesn't feel right anymore. The floor is weak and you table vibrates every time a waiter passes by... and the bill is disproportionate to what you get. They also charged us for tap water... is this even legal?
- Excellent food and serviceHPfamilyDined on 21/6/2014Fantastic food with a Sardinian flair. Have eaten here several times and food and service have been top-notch every time. The salt-encrusted sea bass for two is heavenly. Save room for the desserts! Excellent wine list, focusing on Italian regional wines. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional wait staff. Warm atmosphere, always full of locals, but not too noisy for a romantic dinner.Special Features:
- Excellent neighbourhood ItalianSpringbokDined on 26/5/2014Delicious food from a well constructed menu. Good wine list. And attentive service. Fair value. An excellent family run neighbourhood restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Late Sunday Night MealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 13/4/2014I went there on a Sunday night (we sat down around 10pm) and, notwithstanding the late (for London standards) arrival, we were served well.Special Features:
- Authentic neighborhood ItalianfoodvocateDined on 8/3/2014Lovely place, good simple food and wonderful ambience. Don't let the unique location put you off. It's been here for over 10 10 years for good reason!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great local restaurantIsaBDined on 26/2/2014Very nice, classic décor, pleasant atmosphere, truly Italian food with Sardinian influences, the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night buzzing with what looked like a local ad business crowd.Special Features:
- welcome backlovelyDined on 25/1/2014we began dining at edera when living in london in 05'-07'. we enjoyed it then and were happy to see it still thriving upon our return assignment. :-) great food, friendly atmosphere, management is superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent Neighbourhood RestaurantShrimpieDined on 7/11/2013My elderly father and I had dinner at Edera. The food was delicious and they prepared something for my father that he asked for but was not on the menu. The staff were outstanding: the service they provided was excellent and they were all very kind, helping my father up and down the few steps and being constantly attentive to his needs. We were very very impressed and pleased with them. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Edera and would return. Mary BrooksI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food BUTeatingoutDined on 14/9/2013Though the food was really good, the extremely fast drumbeat of the kitchen makes it impossible to truly enjoy an evening dinner at this restaurant. It took no more than 5 minutes for the starters to arrive from the moment the order was taken, which can be a good thing if you are out for a quick business lunch but certainly not if you are trying to have a relaxed dinner conversation with your partner or friends. The main course took only 9 minutes to arrive after we finished the starters. The staff - although very friendly throughout - standing near the table watching us closely as we eat also gave the impression that they want their table back as soon as possible. Overall not a pleasant experience.Special Features:

- Excellent Italian in Holland ParkTravelmanDined on 16/7/2013We were staying at the Hilton Holland Park and this restaurant is a short walk. It appears to be a neighbourhood italian, but the quality of food and service challenges any Mayfair equivalent. We had some meat and some fish and all four agreed it was some of the best restaurant food we had been served. The service is quiet and professional, each dish was always served to the person who ordered it, without the need to check. This is quite an expensive restaurant, but well worth it. The food appears to have a slight leaning to Sardinia, and all the better for that. The quality of ingredients was outstanding, a real find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with friends at the EderamarlinDined on 18/6/2013We chose the Edera Restaurant as it had been recommended by a friend and was in a good position to meet from opposite sides of London. The menu offered many Italian dishes and our party of 5 all found something to suit them. It is not a large restaurant and a little lacking in atmosphere but the food is very good. At about £40 a head for food and wine it was not cheap but well cooked. We felt that the set menu should offer all dishes to include vegetables. It makes a nonsense of the description if it is necessary to order and be charged for separate vegetables with some of the dishes. You might as well include these in the a la carte section.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I love this placeAmaiaVIPDined on 24/5/2013Been several times, I love the food and wine. Pasta is great and so is the tiramisu. Could do with a few more starters, but I am always happy with the meal I order: tuna carpaccio + lobster pasta.Special Features:
- food is always well preparedtruffleloverDined on 5/5/2013food is always well prepared and good wine list/service is great without being obtrusive/ great hostSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The italian wine list is longConKDined on 15/4/2013The italian wine list is long and good, but expensive. This is very much a local restaurant rather than a destination. The food is acceptable rather than a gastronomic experience. The service is attentive - during our visit one of the waitresses chased another customer 400 yards or more along the road to return a cardigan that the customer had left behind - at a pace that would put me to shame.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great local ItalianGeorginaVIPDined on 9/2/2013Recently moved to the area and this restaurant is just around the corner. Staff were friendly and attentive, tables are well set out and seem to feel quite 'private'. Food was delicious, a good selection to choose from, though not too many choices it is too hard to decide. The truffle menu was outstanding, starters were really tasty - in particular the burrata and the beef carpaccio with truffles, and mains were very good. Will most definitely be visiting this restaurant on a regular basis if the first dinner was anything to go by.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sardinian Cuisine at EderastevefeigenDined on 8/1/2013Edera is on Holland Park Avenue and its is obviously popular with the locals. We went on a Tuesday and it was almost full. I went partly because I had heard they made fantastic Melanzana and they do, but they have an interesting menu, my Goat stew main was great, and the wine list is particularly strong, with pages of interesting Italian wines as well as the best list of Sardinian wines I have seen. They recommended a Carignano blend which was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We have been to this ItalianwenjDined on 4/12/2012We have been to this Italian restaurant several times. The atmosphere is nice and choice of Italian food very good.The food is usually good, on this occasion the calves liver was sinewy and chewy and so they took it off the bill. We will go again.Special Features:
- High quality neighbourhood placeEdwinaDined on 29/11/2012Lucky to have Edera as our local restaurant. Always friendly, reliable food and reasonable prices. Somewhere for special occasions as well as a quiet family evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lucky choiceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 20/11/2012We booked our table having found on the internet the restaurant was the nearest one for dinner after a book launch at Daunt's bookshop. Lucky choice as the Sicilian food was delicious: inventive, satisfying and beautifully served.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good looks, expensive, poor foodStoneoysterDined on 18/11/2012Had heard great things about this place so we booked a table for Sunday evening. We were greeted by a friendly manager, had a nice seat but then sadly the rest of the evening was a big disappointment. The food was your run-of-the-mill, standard Italian selection of dishes with nothing special to add. The tuna carpaccio with olive oil was watery and the lobster pasta tasted more of fish than lobster. The bread was good though...2 starters, 2 mains and 1/2 a bottle of white wine later = 100 pounds... Nope sorry guys, this was not worth it!Special Features:
- Nice mealmotownVIPDined on 17/11/2012The food and service were excellent. I would definitely go back.
- Good, not as great as expecteddinerDined on 2/10/2012Great aspects, but fell short of expectations based on previous reviews. Fried calamari & whitebate were room temperature, rubbery & a bit soggy. The burrata, with a cherry tomato salad with avocado & flatbread was good. The tomatoes ripe but the burrata was too cold. Mains were very good - tagliolini with black truffles, which was delicious and just the right amount & papparadelle with wild board ragout. The Sardinian wine was interesting & very good. The service was very good & our glasses were kept topped up. The ambience could have been a bit better for a romantic dinner, so would be better suited for a nice catch up meal with friends or family. Quality, authentic Italian food and I would go back, but would try different starters.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- I was looking to avoid theZusterDined on 4/11/2011I was looking to avoid the big hitter restaurants of the West End, Mayfair and Knighsbridge and Edera fit the bill perfectly. The service was excellent, food was consistent and the atmosphere relaxing with a neighbourhood feel. Will visit again.Special Features:

- Edera in Holland Park is anBrettSinclair1Dined on 8/10/2011Edera in Holland Park is an up-market Sardinian restaurant where the emphasis is on fine quality, fresh authentic dishes. There's a warm welcome and service is very good, though the staff don't always seem as on-the-ball as you would expect in such a restaraunt. The foood is excellent and beautifully prepared - The lobster linguine was divine and the swordfish steaks (on a bed of slightly burnt aubergine) cooked to perfection...Overall - expensive but highly recommended. The wine was good too!
