falafel in vancouver?
Craving falafel like what I had in Paris at L'As du Falafel, but instead we're heading for Vancouver--please help!
I don't eat much falafel, but my fafafel eating friends like Habibi's on West Broadway. There are quite a few busy falafel joints all around town (the downtown core has quite a number of them).
re: islandgirl
It seems to be more than closed for renos; looks gone. Even the sign is no longer there.
re: miss_bennet
Had an excellent Falafel from Nuba today.
Also if you're willing to travel Abdul's in the Crystal Mall in Burnaby.
re: Sam Salmon
I'll second the rec for Nuba... and it's not just for falafel either e.g. Najib's special cauliflower and the red lentil soup. I've only been to the one on Seymour which seems to do a lot of takeout, but there are a couple of tables and the service is informed and professional. And did I mention it's great value?
re: Sam Salmon
I'm a little less concerned about the actual falafel, and more about the container it is served in.
In Paris, they started with a pita that was about 6" diametre. They open a pocket, and they start cramming stuff in: onions, cucumber, red cabbage, tahini, hummus, fried eggplant and of course, falafel. Granted, the best one I had was down the street, but I can't find falafel in Victoria that is served in the pocket. To me, it was all about the garlic sauce.
Is Nuba's falafel like this?
Note: the pictures are of L'as de falafel's falafel.
re: miss_bennet
Hmm, not quite so much variety as you list stuffing wise but properly pocketed, as I recall. I'm hardly an expert on pitas, but it seems to me that the Greek ones tend to be non-pocketable and the other Middle Eastern ones split apart.
re: Sam Salmon
The absolute BEST shawarmas I've ever had (including falafel sandwiches) is at Abdul's in Burnaby. Comparable to Ottawa's, and Abdul's uses the right bread - not the gyro pita stuff. He opens up the massive lebanese bread, stuffs & rolls it perfectly. Ask for extra sauce (& his garlic sauce is amazing). Haven't been able to get anything in Calgary comparable to it, and it's one of the things I miss most about living in Vancouver!
New restaurant. Busy location, 446 W. 8th avenue. Very close to the new rapid transit location.
Falafel Plus. www.vancouverkosher.ca.
Excellent Falafel. Restauranteur used to own Spice on West Broadway.
Kosher too. Open nightly until 8:00 PM. Closed on Saturdays.
re: veganhound
Yes Simon's new place is great not a large location but the food is delicious.
In summer if it's busy get your Falafel 'To Go' and eat it on the benches @ the fountain in front of Home Depot 1/2 block away.
Facing Cambie it's not the quietest place but the view out over the city is quite calming.
re: Sam Salmon
Nice! Organic Falafel is in the menu. Is the falafel fried fresh to order?
OK, this is a thread that I can speak to with some authority. Having lived in NY for several years and eating several hundred falafel sandwiches, I feel I can comment on this one. There is almost no decent falafel in Vancouver and this is mainly because most(all) places pre cook their falafel balls and then nuke them. You wil never have a decent falafel done this way. The best I have had in Vancouver is at Deserts on Commercial Drive. They are a little hippy dippy but at least they fry everything fresh! The falatka is good.
re: tdeane
I have to agree, tdeane. I haven't ingested as many falafel as you but the precooking thing can be a dealbreaker for me. I say can be because there was one place in Toronto whose product was so good they got away with it :-).
I used to like the Deserts near Kits Beach for the same reasons you mention but I was never a huge fan of the Commercial outpost which I believe is now the only one left.
My all-time favourite was actually from a Greek place on Broadway, sadly long gone. Not only did they fry to order but they served it with the best herby fries evah. Mmm fries with falafel...
re: grayelf
I should have added that the falafel that I had a Deserts that was good was about 3 years ago and the next time I went, it wasn't as good. Actually, it was never as good as it was the first time.
There used to be a sandwich place at Oakridge years and years ago where they did it fresh. Fried it up when ordered but it's no longer there.
Most recently I went to Abduls at Crystal Mall in Burnaby. Had the schwarma which was very good but didn't try the falafel. Their hot sauce has a very nice heat to it, kinda sweet but very addictive.
re: gourmet wife
Falafel Plus on 8th fried the falafel balls to order. Very Yummy!!
Sabra on 3844 Oak Street has decent Falafel. You can enjoy it with a draft or bottle beer or a glass of wine. Something you can't do at most Falafel places in Vancouver. Simon Ruth the owners have a menu that includes shawarma and Chinese.
Inside and outside seating. Glatt Kosher, closed on Saturdays.
re: veganhound
I agree their falafel is decent mainly because of the salads you can include in the wrap. The schwarma I had only once-dry and tasteless.
If you're in downtown Vancouver area, try Babylon Cafe on Robson near Sears and Chapters. I normally have their shawarma though.
re: lyosha85
Okay, that's four recs for Falafel Plus. On my list to check out the next time we have to do the dreaded Home Despot/Cdn Tire bifecta :-).
re: lyosha85
OMG, I just had this last week, finally! Delicious!!!! The green salad was dressed so well, I wanted to take a batch of it with me (and you can). The falafel plate, which is what we had, was a true find!!! Thanks to this forum for telling me about "Falafel Plus", I'm sorry it took me so long to go! I know why it did, I'm not a veggie girl, but both of us agreed this place is going into our rotation, it was so good and I did not miss the meat!
re: ck1234
You've inspired me, ck -- the SO is on his way to pick me up for a trip to Falafel Plus for dinner :-). Your description of the salad was the clincher...
re: grayelf
I hope it's open! It doesn't strike me as a dinner place, and if it is, I know you won't like the T.V....it's loud! :-) Let me know what you think, especially of the green salad!
I've been eating falafel around the world for 20 years, from Canada to Israel to Europe and the Middle East. One of the best falafels I've ever had is at Best Falafel at 2013 Commercial Drive in Vancouver, near 3rd. I've tried about 20 falafel places in Vancouver and this is by far the best of the lot. Their falafel balls are flavourful and not crumbly (like Desert's), and the tahini is extremely tasty. They also have excellent tabouleh, and I would firmly recommend asking for a little scoop of tabouleh in your falafel sandwich. And of course ask for lots of tahini. I am not connected to Best Falafel in any way, don't know them, but used to live just down the street. I can't recommend them enough! http://www.bestfalafel.ca/

Military Readiness:
Opportunities Exist to Improve Completeness and Usefulness of Quarterly Reports to Congress
GAO-13-678: Published: Jul 26, 2013. Publicly Released: Jul 26, 2013.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In its quarterly readiness reports that covered the period from April 2012 through March 2013, the Department of Defense (DOD) addressed most but not all required reporting elements. Section 482 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code requires DOD to report on 26 elements including readiness deficiencies, remedial actions, and data specific to the military services in the areas of personnel, training, and equipment. In analyzing DOD's reports, GAO found that DOD addressed 18 of the 26 elements, partially addressed 3 elements and did not report on 5 elements. For the elements partially addressed--personnel stability, training operations tempo, and deployed equipment--reporting was incomplete because some services reported information and others did not report. When all the services reported on an element, they at times did so inconsistently, with varying amounts and types of information. For example, the services all reported information on training commitments and deployments, but used different timeframes when providing information on planned training events in the future. The services reported differently because DOD has not provided guidance on the information to be reported. For the elements that DOD did not address, including borrowed manpower and training funding, GAO found that information may exist in the department but is not being reported to Congress. For example, the Army now requires commanders to report monthly on the readiness impacts of borrowed military manpower and DOD's budget requests include data on training funding. However, DOD has not taken steps to analyze whether this information could be used to meet the related reporting element. Without issuing guidance on the type and amount of information to be included by each service and analyzing alternative information it could provide to meet the required elements, DOD risks continuing to provide inconsistent and incomplete information to Congress.
DOD has taken steps to improve its quarterly readiness reports to Congress, but additional contextual information would provide decision makers a more complete picture of DOD's readiness. Over time, based on its own initiative and congressional requests, DOD has added information to its reports, such as on operational plan assessments. In its most recent report, DOD added narrative information detailing the impact of readiness deficiencies on overall readiness and a discussion of how the services' budgets support their long-term readiness goals. Federal internal control standards state that decision makers need complete and relevant information to manage risks, and GAO found several areas where DOD could provide Congress with more comprehensive and understandable information if it added some additional context to its reports. For example, in some instances, the services report significant amounts of quantitative data, but do not include information on benchmarks or goals that would enable the reader to determine whether the data indicate a problem or the extent of the problem. For example, the Marine Corps and Air Force report mission capable rates for their specific equipment items, but do not provide information on related goals, such as the percentage of the inventory that should be kept at various capability levels. In other instances, the services have not fully explained any connections between the voluminous data they report on the required elements and the information DOD provides in the report on unit and overall readiness ratings. Without providing additional contextual information, DOD's quarterly reports may not provide clear information necessary for congressional oversight and funding decisions.
Why GAO Did This Study
Congress and DOD need relevant, accurate, and timely readiness information to make informed decisions about the use of military forces, and related resource needs. To that end, Congress requires DOD to submit a quarterly readiness report addressing various elements related to overall readiness, personnel, training, and equipment. A committee report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 mandated GAO report on the type of readiness information available to Congress and DOD decision makers and the reported readiness of U.S. forces. In May 2013, GAO provided a classified report on readiness trends of DOD forces. For this report, GAO evaluated (1) the extent to which DOD addressed required reporting elements in its quarterly readiness reports to Congress, and (2) what additional information, if any, could make the reports more useful. GAO analyzed various readiness reports and supporting documentation, and interviewed cognizant officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that DOD analyze alternative sources of information that could be used to meet the required reporting elements, issue guidance on the type and amount of information to be included by each service, and incorporate contextual information to improve the clarity and usefulness of reported information. DOD generally agreed with the recommendations.

To begin with you'll have to take care of your scalp and get rid of your dandruff problem. A valuable prescription for removal of dandruff is the use of green gram powder. The hair should be washed twice a week with two tablespoons of this powder mixed with half a cup of curd.Answered by Zeus, 19 Jul '08 01:04 pm
Anti-fungal/anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole have been shown to be effective in the treatment of dandruff. A therapeutic hot oil massage helps to nourish dry skin follicle and stimulate production of sebum. A mixture of egg yolk and sour yoghurt also nourishes hair strands and stimulates the oil balance of the scalp. Apply the mixture on the scalp for half-an-hour. Then rinse and shampoo. This should help reduce hair fall too.Answered by Manisha Mehra, 19 Jul '08 09:52 am

Day care at Indira kids Aundh
Ages- 2 years- 12 years
Daycare facililty is discontinued at Indira Kids, Baner Branch with effect from 01st June, 2014. However, the Daycare will continue to remain functional at Indira Kids, Aundh Branch from 09:00 a.m. to 04:00 p.m.
The INDIRA DAY CARE CENTRE has been designed to be a home away from home, as working parents today are anxious about the time they are away from their children; whether the child has eaten on time, whether he or she has had an afternoon nap, whether he or she is creatively and fruitfully occupied and whether he or she is in the right, caring hands.
The Indira Day care Centre is staffed with qualified supervisors and attendants who look after the children in a motherly way trying to inculcate healthy eating habits, team spirit, a caring attitude and hobby development in every child who comes to the centre. To permit better care and individual attention we take only a limited number in the facility.
The children are given lessons in drawing, painting, skating and karate as a part of the Day care Centre's activities.
To save working mothers the hassle of cooking suitable meals for their children for the day, the Day care Centre provides all its children with a nutritious meal plan to take care of their lunch and snack requirements.
Children in Day care Centre can avail of all the facilities provided in the school campus. Thus they get a home away home where they are caringly looked after and are creatively occupied.

The update has slowed the game down. The tiles have an awful bounce effect now and it makes the game slow and it's also jarring and static-like graphically. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Please lose these silly effects. It's totally spoiled it for me now. I used to be able to finish a game in under 4 minutes. Now, because of the drop bounce effect, it's not going happen again. Don't like it :(

The last update fails. Downgrade now. Where can I get the old one? Where is version 2.4.05 that is recommended?

Raja Rao, Indian English Litterateur
Raja Rao was a prestigious Indian English litterateur, who represented the quintessential Indian nationalist.
Raja Rao was a respected and honoured Indian writer of English language novels and short stories. His works have always been deeply rooted in Hinduism, mirrored all through by the man himself. Raja Rao`s semi-autobiographical novel, `The Serpent and the Rope` (1960), is a story of the seeking of spiritual consciousness in Europe and India. The novel had established Raja Rao as one of the finest Indian stylists.
Raja Rao was born on November 8, 1908 in Hassan, in the state of Mysore (presently Karnataka) in South India, into a well-known Brahmin (Hoysala Karnataka) household. He was the eldest of nine siblings, amongst his two brothers and seven sisters. Raja Rao`s mother tongue was Kannada. Raja Rao`s father served as a teacher of Kannada in Nizam`s College, in what was the then Hyderabad State. The death of his mother, when the Indian English Litterateur was barely four, left an eternal impression upon Raja Rao. The non-existence of a mother and what it is like to live an orphan have time and again been made themes in his work. Another influence from early life was Raja Rao`s grandfather, with whom he had stayed in Hassan and Harihalli.
Raja Rao was always imparted education in Muslim institutions, the Madarsa-e-Aliya in Hyderabad and the Aligarh Muslim University. His interest in French had developed during his learning years and he began to learn French at the Aligarh University itself. After passing out matriculation in 1927, Raja Rao went back to Hyderabad and studied for his degree at Nizam`s College. After graduating from Madras University, having obtained major degrees in English and History, he won the Asiatic Scholarship of the Government of Hyderabad in 1929. The scholarship was meant for students who would leave the country to study abroad.
Raja Rao`s next phase in educational life was spent in the University of Montpellier in France. He studied French language and literature and later at the Sorbonne in Paris, he conducted extensive researches in the Indian influence on Irish literature. The Indian English litterateur completed his post-graduate educational life in France; all his later publications in book form have been in English. In the meantime amidst the French countryside, the writer married Camille Mouly, who taught French at Montpellier, in 1931. The marriage however lasted until 1939. The Serpent and the Rope later perfectly portrayed the breakdown of the couple`s marriage. Raja Rao`s very initial stories were published in French and English. During the period of 1931-1932, the writer donated four articles written in Kannada for Jaya Karnataka, a powerful journal.
Coming back to India in 1939, Raja Rao began to edit Changing India, an anthology of modern Indian thought from Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Jawaharlal Nehru, together with Iqbal Singh. Being highly incited and involved with Indian freedom movements, he participated in the Quit India Movement in 1942. Within the passing period of 1943-1944, the writer co-edited with Ahmed Ali a journal from Bombay named Tomorrow. The Indian English litterateur served as the prime motivator in the establishment of a cultural organisation, Sri Vidya Samiti. The organisation was wholly devoted to resurrecting the values of ancient Indian civilisation; however, this highly initiative organisation failed shortly after its inauguration. Raja Rao was also associated in Bombay with Chetana, a cultural society for the dissemination of Indian thought and values.
Raja Rao`s zealous participation in the nationalist movement is reflected in his first two books. The novel Kanthapura (1938) was a chronicle on the impact of Mahatma Gandhi`s teaching on non-violent resistance against the colonialists. The story is viewed from the stand-point of a small Mysore village in South India. The Indian novelist triumphantly adopts the style and structure from Indian vernacular tales and folk-epic. The Indian English litterateur turned once more towards the theme of Gandhism in the short story collection, The Cow of the Barricades (1947). In 1998 Raja Rao published Gandhi`s biography Great Indian Way: A Life of Mahatma Gandhi. In 1988 he obtained the highly esteemed International Neustadt Prize for Literature. The Serpent and the Rope was authored after a long phase of secrecy, during which Raja Rao returned to India. The work dramatised the associations and interactions amongst Indian and Western culture. The `serpent` in the title pertains to illusion and the `rope to reality`. Cat and Shakespeare (1965) was a metaphysical comedy, that absolutely sufficed philosophical questions put forth in the earlier novels. Indeed, novels of Raja Rao bear the clandestine, yet manifested fact of being that revolutionist who always wanted his country to be shackle-free and interactive with western thoughts.
After some significant years in his country, Raja Rao resettled in the United States and taught at the University of Texas at Austin from 1966 to 1983. The novelist had retired as the Emeritus Professor from the University of Texas itself. The courses he taught comprised Marxism to Gandhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Indian philosophy: The Upanishads, Indian philosophy: The Metaphysical Basis of the Male and Female Principle. To further add to the prestigious list of accolades, the writer was awarded India`s third highest civilian award, Padma Bhushan in 1969. In January 2007, it was also harbingered that Raja Rao has been selected to receive the Padma Vibhushan, India`s second highest civilian award. After significant and whirl-wind a personal life, Raja Rao passed away on July 8, 2006 at Austin, Texas. He was aged 97 during his death.

"Fashion is not only part self-expression but also in Orlando Dugi's words, part of the decidedly Native reverence of "Dressing for the holy Ones". Though at first glance, the viewer or wearer of his clothing and beadwork may not see overtly Native designs and patterns, it is in fact his approach to what he creates and why he creates it that makes it truly Native"

- as expectedhappybakerVIPDined on 11/21/2014NSB Grill is nothing if not reliable. The menu hasn't changed much in years, and you really can't go wrong with their burgers and salads. I don't know why I venture out into their entree menu, as I almost always regret it. The salmon was well prepared and had it not been for the excess salt, I would have given it high praise. I could actually taste the grains of salt under my teeth...not good. Otherwise, nice late night choice.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood favoritehappyVIPDined on 11/21/2014I enjoy the food, service and how close it is to my home. Decided the last minute to run out and enjoy the scallop salad which is a favorite of mine. Also, excellent rolls.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent food and Predictable experienceTobbaVIPDined on 11/21/2014Going to NSB you know exactly what to expect. Menu rarely changes, food is very good and the atmosphere comfortable. If you go with someone who wants to pay their own bill - good luck as they refuse to issue separate checks - very inconvenient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood favoritehappyVIPDined on 11/13/2014Relaxed atmosphere, great food, good service and close to home. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, lousy serviceWeezieDined on 11/8/201410 minutes after ordering drinks the server came to take our order. She forgot the drinks and got them only after taking our meal orders. She stood and only wrote what we said not guiding us through. We had to field any questions ourselves. We ordered main dinner courses and salads. Another 20 minutes and when food arrived it was our main courses and salads together (had to track down dressing later). The server said this is how its done at NSB and this was confirmed when we spoke to the manager. We asked why this information wasn't on the menu or told to us by the server, and there was no answer. We were offered a refund on some items but that never appeared on the final check. Will never go back even tho the food is outstanding.Special Features:
- NSBOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/7/2014The staff was delightful. Unfortunately the food was up and down. More down than up actually. For the cost it should have beed outstanding. We had the Steak Frite and Scallop salad, with Calamari for a starter and Baileys Cake for dessert. The steak frite was good. The scallops were cooked beautifully but the salad was mostly chopped lettuce with seemingly no dressing. The Calamari was very good. The Bailey's cake tasted like refrigerator. On the upside, the wait staff was wonderful. Not intrusive and attentive.
- Continuously GoodDancerDined on 11/7/2014The wait staff is always friendly. Good variety of food at good prices. Easy relaxed atmosphere. Good parking available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Service was not especially good--not so attentive and took a long time getting back to our table for occasional service (water, wine, etc.)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/1/2014We went on Labor Day and were glad to find one of the few restaurants open on the holiday. It was a mistake - I think their regular chef was on vacation. The dinner was disappointing. I had a mediocre dinner salad, and my husband said his fish did not taste fresh. My son enjoyed his sandwich, but the waffle fries were terrible. To their credit, I will say that the portions were generous, and the service was very good. The restaurant has a much nicer ambience than I remembered - a more elegant place than you would expect in that setting. But that does not make up for lackluster food. I'm not sure whether we will give it one more shot, but if so it would be on a normal night, rather than a holiday.Special Features:
- NSB Saturday eveningMilwaukeeHowardVIPDined on 8/23/2014Good wine, beet salad and veggie burger served as a nice prelude to Woody Allen's latest film. Quiet ambience, good service.Special Features:

- Lovely evening outside dinnerTobbaVIPDined on 7/18/2014We each got a salad: Beet salad and beef salad. The beet salad was delicious, but the beef salad was tough.....cooked to specification, but definitely tasted like a lower cut of beef. The drinks were made to perfection and the wait staff was very attentive. The prices are reasonable for a neighborhood restaurant and the outside seating is comfortable with umbrellas for the sun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hard to make a choicejetblattDined on 7/16/2014As always had a delightful meal starting withone of the cocktails from the $5 menu. Then comes the hard choice because they have so many really good meals but I chose the the black and bleu burger and it was fabulous. Great dining experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice placeGlendaleDined on 7/11/2014The ribs and shrimp were great, as was the fish fry. My daughter didn't like the dressing on the ceasar salad and didn't finish it. Scallops were a little lacking in flavor. The service was great, drinks were good. Plan to come again because it is so convenient to the North Shore.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Enlightenment 17 Review

My first Linux experiences came through Knoppix and Mandrake, which send you to the KDE desktop by default. I used KDE at first, but I wanted to experiment with other less Windowsesque environments. The first one I installed was Enlightenment 16, which I must confess I had first heard of in Neal Stephenson's essay "In The Beginning There Was the Command Line." In that essay he said Enlightenment "may be the hippest single technology product I have ever seen" and … Continue Reading →

The Saddle Creek collective in Omaha remains as busy and intriguing as ever, swinging between solo and group projects. This tour brings together two of Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst's cronies, Denver Dalley and Maria Taylor. Dalley is Oberst's songwriting partner in Desaparecidos, but his side project, Statistics, offers a dramatic departure. Unlike the passionate indie crunch of Desaparecidos, there is a lazy, atmospheric component to Statistics. Layered guitars compete with burbling electronics, as Dalley croons his emotional pain. The music's shimmering, ethereal quality makes it a nice match for Maria Taylor, a one-time Oberst paramour, and half of Azure Ray. Much like her collaboration with Orenda Fink, her new solo album, 11:11, features an airy, lingering warmth that offers a perfect counterpoint for Taylor's breathy whisper-like vocals. Haunting but gentle, its tender, meandering melodies convey a melancholy distance, a yearning to get closer.

Amerec's handheld controller communicates via rf to control temperature, chromatherapy lighting, and even the optional fragrance injector pump!
Looking for control of the steam bath without drilling into the walls? Amerec debuted its K200i Freedom control at K/BIS in Chicago last week. You can power on and monitor the temperature of your steam bath while brewing a cup of coffee in the morning.
The handheld controller communicates with a sensor mounted to the wall inside the shower using radio frequency signals. Operating range is 50 feet. No cables are required, making the control system a perfect fit for retrofit projects where homeowners don't want to drill into marble or tile.
In addition to controlling steam functions, the K200i manages chromatherapy lighting, an optional fragrance injector pump and an air circulation system. Programmable preset settings are available for two different users.
Price of the controller is $1,200 and it is scheduled to arrive in stores in July.

Warwick School produced another stunning comeback to record their second draw of the season to go through to the quarter-final of the NatWest Schools U18 Cup from a midlands region characterised by tight scorelines in the seventh round last week.
Stamford was the unfortunate side to go out on this occasion after Warwick outscored them four tries to three in a 22-22 draw.
Stamford had looked comfortable going as far as 17-5 ahead thanks to tries from George Cox and Jamie Richardson, but Warwick produced their first comeback of the game to level with tries from Harry Bassett, Bryn Grantham and Tom Howard (brother of England U20 Junior World Championship winning wing Ben Howard).
Archie Toseland then crossed for Stamford to give them the lead with only a few minutes remaining, a score that looked to be enough for the home side, but Warwick fought back with a dramatic late try from James Ainsworth to level the scores and set up a quarter-final with Stowe School.
It will be the second year in a row that Warwick will have both U15 and U18 sides in the Cup quarter-finals after their U15s edged out Aylesbury Grammar 22-15, and will now play Langley School in the quarter-final, who beat Lawrence Sheriff 10-7 in their last 16 fixture.
The two sides are unbeaten against English opposition in the regular season, which should make for an exciting match.
Head of Rugby at Warwick School, Mr Nasey, said of the double achievement: "I think there is a bit more character in the side this year than there was last year. Read into that what you will, but last year was very much about defence and forcing sides into errors, whereas this year we actually look to play more and win games.
"The U15s are a very good side. We have four boys that were involved last year and there is some good depth. They did very well to beat a strong Aylesbury Grammar side who caused them a lot of problems, and it looks like they'll have to play Langley in the next round who have a great record this season."
Adams Grammar School are also through to the U18 Cup quarter-final after coming through a tough battle to beat The Perse School 12-0.
In an attritional encounter, Adams scored tries through Will Macareth and Fraser Martin to secure a knock-out clash with Durham School.
In the U18 Vase competition Bishop Vesey's Grammar School beat Nottingham High School 17-3. Vesey's ran in three tries through Will Curren, Andy Hyslop and Will Shilcof to put themselves into the final eight, with an astonishing record conceding just one try throughout their campaign to date.
In the U15 Vase, Loughborough Grammar School beat Denston College 22-12 thanks to tries from number eight Kane Richards and prop Jamie Lee.
In the other U15 Vase fixture, Stowe School squeaked through with a 19-17 win against Cheltenham College.

Foodie Souvenirs
Hello all. Unfortunately I will not be visiting the area any time soon, but the SO is (end of August - early September). He has kindly offered to bring me back an assortment of souvenirs. Any recommendations as to what he could fly back with him, i.e. any food items that are special/unique to the area that can't be acquired in Toronto, our hometown? He could also bring back fresh food items since the flight isn't that long (assuming of course that these can be carried over the border). Thanks in advance!
Avocados, citrus, fresh tortillas, maybe some good carne asada marinade from one of the Mexican markets?
Can't bring fresh fruit or vegetables across the border. Can't carry cured meats, either (pity, because Knight Salumi makes some excellent sopressata). Tortillas are probably the only thing that you wouldn't be able to get in Toronto that you could actually take back with you. That, and the wine selection in stores here is quite a bit better than in Toronto.
If he's checking luggage then he could bring back some of our local beers. AleSmith Decadence is on shelves now at Whole Foods in Hillcrest and is a very good beer.
Chocolates from Chuao are good and should travel well.
Yea chocolate. If you want something you can't buy online the giant milk and dark chocloate covered caramels at the Elegant Truffle are wonderful. Truffles not so special, but the caramels..... http://www.trufflemaker.com/
Another local one that you can buy online Eclipse Chocolate. i haven't tried the truffles, and you can skip the salted caramels, but the candy bars very good. White choc mac ginger, dark choc chile hazelnut., dark choc peanut butter toffee, and others.. We typically get them at farmers markets around town, closer than the Cafe. If interested call and find out where and when. http://www.eclipsechocolat.com/
re: Island
+1 for Eclispe. Sea salt nibs are awesome.
Here's some items that I can come up with from my own experiences:
Hot Pepper Jelly - Henry's carries the Julian brand, which I like ok
Agave syrup - may be more ubiquitous in the T. but I never saw it before coming down here
Cypress Grove Cheeses - from more NorCal, but their Humbolt Fog and Truffle Tremor goat cheeses are great
Booze - the wine selections are indeed great down here, but I get more bang for my buck (and more happy partakers) from a nice topshelf bottle of tequila or mescal
Also, I'd check with Customs Canada about what is on the "barred" list for the week. I have a good friend who is a hostess for AC and says that it often changes week to week - you might get lucky and get a "window of opportunity" :D
(I'm a Canuck myself, and am always looking for items that I can bring back to Eastern Canada as gifts - especially since I make all my visitors stock me up on Ketchup chips, golden gingerale, maple syrup, cheese curds, etc...)
re: foodiechick
It is legal to put bottled beverages in your checked luggage. Can't tell you how much tequila and hooch (aka homebrew mezcal) I've imported on my Mexico trips over the years. In carry-on luggage before the ban and in checked luggage now. You can pack liquor in your suitcase and check it through to your destination at check-in. When you buy liquor in the duty free shops they pack it for you and deliver it to your plane where you pick it up as you board.
I've cleared U.S. customs at SAN, LAX, SFO, and IAH all with booze or other liquids in my luggage and they never batted an eye. Went though IAH one year with 8 jars of jam and honey in my checked luggage. All of it was delcared on U.S. customs forms.
re: Island
If you declare it, you can't mail it either. Meat products that haven't been sterilized run the risk of spreading animal diseases. It's the same reason that fresh produce needs an import license. You can spread agriculturally relevant diseases. That's the rationale, anyway. How well that rationale holds is another story...
re: Indirect Heat
Bummer. Thanks for the clarification.

Port Norfolk
Winery rolled out as Port Norfolk's latest hidden gem
May. 1, 2009
Editor's Note: The Dorchester Historical Society will host a special event on Sunday, May 3 at The Boston Winery in Port Norfolk from 2-5 p.m. Back in 2007, the Reporter's former news editor Brian Denitzio visited the Winery — run by the Bruno family, who also own the Venezia restaurant next door.

Dot merchants get mayoral run-through on budget woes
Just days before he submits his budget to the City Council, Mayor Thomas Menino gave some insights into his priorities and challenges in his annual address to the Dorchester Board of Trade on Tuesday afternoon.
Menino — who is widely expected to run for re-election this fall — said he foresees a $78 million cut in local aid, money that comes from the state and goes to city coffers for local programs, in the fiscal 2010 budget, on top of a $23 million cut this year.
Menino said he hopes to extract additional revenues from the city's own contractors. Read more
Port Norfolk says nay to billboard, cash payment
It just got a little tougher to put up new billboards in Dorchester.
John McLaughlin, a principal of Sullivan McLaughlin Companies, offered the Port Norfolk Civic Association $50,000 up front and 8.3 percent of net revenue for 20 years in exchange for permission to erect a billboard on his property next to the Southeast Expressway on Tuesday night. A relatively generous offer from a man well respected and trusted in the Port. But neighbors turned it down flat.
"I've been fighting for 30 years against billboards," said Ben Tankle, who helped start a civic group in the waterfront village in 1958. "The money is just them dangling the carrot, saying 'Come on… I'll give you 50 grand.' Well I'm not going to sell my vote." Read more
Port Norfolk Civic considers billboard deal
Plans to erect a new billboard on the Southeastern Expressway stalled this week after Port Norfolk neighbors demanded more time to review the proposal, which would divert an unspecified percentage of profits back into the community in return for their acceptance. Read more
Port Norfolk park dream gets $7m boost in bond bill
Up to $7 million would be provided for the cleanup of an abandoned Port Norfolk lot under an environment-focused borrowing bill lawmakers are attempting to get to Gov. Deval Patrick's desk this week. The funds would go towards a long-awaited revamp of the blighted 14-acre area, where chemical levels were discovered to be lower than expected in the waterfront soil. The site's best-known occupants were the Shaffer Paper company.
"This is something that is a long time coming, and it'll provide opportunity to clean it up and create waterfront public space," said state Sen. Jack Hart. Read more
Some see new 'value' to billboards
Over a dozen years ago, Dorchester's self-appointed billboard king, Joe Chaisson, and a handful of other diehards were fighting hard to stanch a flow of the giant roadside signs into the neighborhood. They managed to create some tough obstacles for advertisers, such as forcing property owners to get a city zoning variance if they want to add a new billboard next to federaly-assisted highways in the city, or modify an existing one.
Before that, neighborhoods had little say in it. Read more
Night to remember a giant of Port Norfolk
May. 14, 2008
On Friday, Dec. 14, 2007 lifelong Port Norfolk resident Michael "Porpar" Leahy suffered a massive heart attack after working a long shift plowing snow at Logan Airport.
In a coma, Michael was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital. Family, friends, and Massport coworkers spent the greater part of a week trying to cheer him up by telling stories and playing his favorite music. When it was clear that Mike would not survive, everyone who loved him had a chance to say good-bye. Read more
Neponset 'Esplanade' gets $5m OK
Three miles of bike path starting in Mattapan Square, a revamped Martini Shell for performances, and a new canoe and kayak launch in Hyde Park will be part of a new "Neponset River Esplanade," Gov. Deval Patrick announced last week, approving $5.18 million for the work.
The park will be another step in the state's long-term master plan to build parks and paths along the entire coast of Dorchester and the banks of the Neponset, connecting Boston Harbor to the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton. Read more

Defense says Port Norfolk arson killing not gang-related
An attorney defending a Dorchester man charged with murder and setting fire to a Port Norfolk Street home in 2001 lit into a top witness for the prosecution this week, accusing her of setting up the fire and lying to a grand jury investigating the case.
In a heated exchange on Tuesday, Robert Galibois, a Barnstable lawyer defending Eric King, on trial for the arson and murder, attempted to rip apart the testimony of Tamia Brown, who has pleaded guilty as an accessory before the fact to the murder of 53-year-old Shelby Caddell by directing King and others to the home.

November 26, 2014
The Ethics Board fined the Tavern League of Wisconsin $2,500 Monday for violating the state's lobbying laws.
The Tavern League held a reception for lawmakers that charged them just five dollars for food and as much beer as they wanted.
About 100 state officials attended, nearly half were lawmakers.
The Ethics Board found the league should have charged at least $27.50 per person.
The March 29th reception came to light after Senator Russ Decker was pulled over for drunken driving in Middleton.
The Ethics Board ruled the league had failed to charge legislators and their staffs the full value of the food and drink they had at the reception, violating ethics laws.

It was dead simple to set up with just one plugin and the whole thing was up and running in less than 5 minuets.
It's possible to control which articles have comments in the plugin parameters by either the menu and individual articles or by an extra plugin that is a comments button, which once installed, appears on the bottom bar of your text editor.
The only downside I have found is that IntenseDebate itself doesn't allow much in the way of customisation; personally I'm fairly happy with it straight out of the box but if you read their forum posts, customisation and how to achieve it is always the main topic.
IntenseDebate also includes half a dozen or so gadgets to add to the commenting, including a most commented sidebar, but the one I really liked and am now using is the social networking links tab which allows visitors to link your article with any of the many social networking and other similar sites out there.
One other thing I particularly liked was that when notified of a new comment, the email notification included the option to moderate via a return email and also the IP address of the person who commented, which could be really useful if you needed to block someone for spam or abuse etc.
Thanks to the team at rockettheme for this great free plugin which couldn't make adding commenting to a Joomla site any easier.

Amber Portwood on Staying Sober: It's a Battle!by Free Britney at . Comments
Amber Portwood is battling hard to stay sober.
Hard as it is for the former Teen Mom star, she's making progress in prison. Four months after choosing to serve a five-year jail term instead of completing a drug program, the 22-year-old admits she's not normal but is turning a corner.
Slowly. Painfully.
"Right now I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life," Amber Portwood wrote in a statement read on the Teen Mom reunion show. "I guess I got lost."
"I went to jail because I had an addiction to opiates. You live and you learn and that's real ... I have to grow up quicker and start acting like a mother."
"My No. 1 priority right now in life is dedicating my life to being sober. And to show my daughter that people make mistakes but you can always come back."
In her case, she will come back in May 2017 (or perhaps sooner based on good behavior behind bars), thanks to her 2011 felony drug possession conviction.
Here's hoping whenever she gets out, she's clean. For good.
amber..you are a strong women..god bless you...
My HEaRt hurts for you love! I have been in your shoes and still am.. IT IS AN UPHILL BATTLE! I pray that you and your Beautiful little princess will have a loving bond between eachother when this craps over.. Stay strong Beautiful, you truly are an amazing person. You will need a good support system to do right... Alot of people will wanna watch u suffer because there are some sick idiots out here. Don't let that demand get the satisfaction of controlling your every more.. You can do it. I believe in you!! xoxoxoxo
Wait...isn't she in prison? Wouldn't she HAVE to stay sober there? I mean, I wish her the best, and hope she straightens up for her kid, but I would hope she wouldn't have a choice but to stay sober in prison.
Best of luck-it will be good for your little girl
Well, Good luck to her.

Investment banks Standard Chartered and UBS have been hired to assist in the sale of a 20% stake in the offshore Rovuma Basin Block 1 permit in Mozambique, which is estimated to hold upwards of 65 trillion cubic feet (1,841 billion cubic metres) of natural gas underpinning the multi-train Mozambique LNG project.
The chairman of Indian telecommunications conglomerate Videocon, Venugopal Dhoot, told Indian television channel CNBC TV18 on Tuesday that the sale of its 10% share in the consortium is close to being finalised.
US-headquartered project leader Anadarko Petroleum has also confirmed it is seeking a buyer to reduce its stake in the offshore Block 1 - and associated stake in the LNG project - from 36.5% to 26.5%.
The combined 20% stake on offer has "attracted a lot of interest from industry", an Anadarko spokesman said on Tuesday, declining to disclose the specifics of the sales process. A Videocon representative was unavailable to comment on the details of its sale.
A bidding war for an 8.5% stake in the same project last July, which resulted in a $1.9bn sale to Thai state-owned oil and gas firm PTT, provides the market with a good benchmark for the valuation of the stake currently on sale, equity analysts told ICIS.
A 20% sale on that basis would settle for just under $4.5bn, but the project has evolved somewhat since PTT entered the project nine months ago.
More gas has been discovered, plans to develop shared onshore liquefaction facilities have been agreed, development costs are a bit firmer, and demand sentiment in Asia continues to move - and all these things have to be factored in, according to Investec analyst Brian Gallagher. And with the potential for yet more gas discoveries in the offshore block, "a line in the sand has to be drawn as to how much gas a buyer is actually buying", he added.
Gallagher continued: "[Nevertheless], the PTT valuation - plus or minus 10% - is still the best reference point. Anything else would be a shock and the economics for the project must have significantly changed."
Anadarko and Italian oil and gas company Eni agreed in principle in December to proceed with a unified liquefaction project, which will be fed from Block 1 and the Eni-operated offshore Block 4.
The project, whose final investment decision on the initial 20m tonne per annum phase is planned by the end of the year, in order to stay on track for a late-2018 start-up, could be interesting for a number of emerging market importers with big balance sheets and access to cash, according to Gallagher.
State-owned energy companies from China and India, such PetroChina and ONGC, could bid, analysts have said.
But with the Mozambique LNG consortium lacking previous LNG experience, international oil companies with experience of delivering LNG projects would be more favoured by the Mozambican government. As such, Anglo-Dutch oil and gas major Shell and US-based energy firm ExxonMobil are leading the pack as favourite candidates, according to analysts.
Whoever does buy into the Rovuma Basin Block 1 project, the transaction will be subject to a capital gains tax of 32% under the newly amended corporate tax regime in force in Mozambique since 1 January 2013. Prior to the sale to PTT last year, the country did not have a fiscal framework for such transactions, resulting in a negotiated capital gains tax on the PTT sale of 12%.
Aside from Anadarko, Videocon and PTT, the three remaining stakeholders in the Rovuma Block 1 are: Japanese trading house Mitsui, with 20%; Mozambique state oil company ENH, with 15%; and Indian state-owned refiner Bharat Petroleum, with 10%.
