We are here this week in Florida for an extremely wonderful family, the Gastons. Finis, the oldest member of the family, has really drawn our attention. He was away at college when his mother suddenly passed away. Instead of letting his nieces and nephews go into the foster care system he came back to be the man of the household. He did what was right in his heart. It has not been easy for Finis, but he is a happy, grateful, wonderful person who just has this inner peace about him. This family is so incredibly deserving of a home that suits their needs, and we are here this week to give them just that!
This week the team rolls into Levittown, Penn. I loved it there. Everyone was very proud of their homes and communities in Pennsylvania, and after spending some time there, it's obvious why. I could see why this family wanted to stay in that beautiful area.This week was about a single mom, Marynoel, trying to make it while raising her four boys. Marynoel took her boys from a bad situation with their father and tried to start a new life. She was able to scrape together enough to purchase what she thought was a safe home in a beautiful neighborhood filled with other families and children. Unfortunately, harsh reality set in the moment they arrived. The home was infested with termites and would cost literally tens of thousands of dollars to repair and make livable. Marynoel has a wonderful spirit but she had been knocked down so many times she was starting to give up. It broke my heart to hear her stories of how she would hide in the car and cry so that the boys couldn't see. It was a ...

Go, army! This week we invaded Lawton, Oklahoma. I didn't know what to think of Lawton, but after spending a wonderful week here with the community and our troops from nearby Fort Sill, it's a place I won't soon forget. There's something very sweet about small towns, and the support we received was huge! Overwhelming even. I met so many wonderful people this week, including the members of an organization called Adopt-a-Soldier, which was started to send letters and care packages to deployed soldiers to let them know that we care. We were able to get 7,000 letters sent to soldiers deployed around the world. Our goal this week was to get the Westbrooks into a house that would work for them. James, the son, and Gene, the dad, are both in wheelchairs. Dad suffered his injury while training troops in Iraq and returned from the field a paraplegic. One day a few months ago, on the way to a church picnic, the Westbrooks were in a terrible car accident that left young James paralyzed as wel...

- Always reliablefoodeaterDined on 31/10/2014Pretty much the local curry place for us - I find the menu interesting and well priced, not the best curry I've ever had, but certainly a cut above most of the standard Indians in the local area.Special Features:
- AnjuVIPDined on 29/9/2014Had a great meal at Guglee on Monday evening. The restaurant lacks ambience but the food is very good. Some of the portions were on the small side but they were packed with flavour so I didn't mind.Special Features:
- Great Indians83nVIPDined on 31/8/2014at a reasonable price, the food service was good, but be warned the food can be spicy, but if you like spicy it is good
- Great food, slightly over pricedEnnoDined on 19/7/2014We went to Guglee before a Saturday evening performance at the Hampstead Theatre. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at 6pm didn't get much busier by the time we left. The location is perfect for the theatre. The menu is very extensive and there are a few unusual dishes. The food was very good and didn't take long to arrive. Service was friendly. I will definitely visit Guglee again even though we found the food slightly over priced.Special Features:
- Excellent as alwaysfoodeaterDined on 15/6/2014One of my favourite curry places around - refreshingly different yet so, so tasy - always a winner!Special Features:
- Always reliablefoodeaterDined on 2/5/2014Slightly different to your average curry restaurant, the food is always spot on at Guglee - it's not the most incredible location or ambiance but certainly good enough for a cheeky curry!Special Features:
- goodjosephDined on 15/2/2014late booking, good food, nice atmosphere, recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not very specialTheatregoerDined on 21/12/2013The Guglee is not as special as the elaborate and attractively presented menu booklet might lead you to expect. Our food was "hot" but not particularly tasty or subtle. The rather too loud Indian "pop" playing throughout did not improve the ambiance and the loo was downstairs and approached via a somewhat scruffy corridor - so presumably no access for the disabled. The restaurant was convenient for the Hampstead Theatre but on a Saturday night was far from full so the residents of Swiss Cottage are clearly not fans and we would not go back.
- The following 129 reviews are from the Guglee Swiss Cottage reviews archive.
- Good FoodKapasDined on 24/11/2013Felt the mixed veg platter was a little light on food. Lamb curry was a little blandSpecial Features:

- Indian street food in Swiss Cottagejm17Dined on 1/7/2013My brother and I had a fantastic meal at Guglee - in part due to advice on food choices from our waiter but actually I think everything would have been delicious. The food was well-cooked, flavoursome and imaginative and the staff were all that ideal combination - attentive without being intrusive. We agreed that we will go back soon and take our partners with us next time.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Post theatre supper for sevenClaireVIPDined on 27/6/2013Post theatre supper for seven and we all really enjoyed the experience. The starters were varied and delicious and we were encouraged to go off piste with our main courses thanks to the helpful prompting of the waiter. Really unusual and tasty dishes. Definitely worth a try.Special Features:
- Ok place, food was reasonable,LaljiDined on 18/6/2013Ok place, food was reasonable, service was very good, but I thought the food to be on the dear side after you pay the added service charge which is not mentioned anywhere but added to your bill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The menu at Guglee is reallysloppyjoeDined on 7/6/2013The menu at Guglee is really interesting - some apparently familiar dishes and some I hadn't seen before - and the food is really delicious. The service is good but not over-attentive and it's good value overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gorgeous MealLisaJaneDined on 1/6/2013The food at Guglee is nothing short of spectacular. Most Indians taste the same to be but this stands out from the others as being extremely tasty with many unusual dishes on the menu. I would definitely recommend it and will most certainly go back there. Can't wait to experience that all over again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Guglee diningVegluverDined on 25/3/2013The standard of the food and the welcome received inside far exceeds what you would expect when looking at the outside. Great value for money - especially the lunch-time deal. Love the fact that they are also environmentally friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect Indian foodfoodieDined on 24/2/2013This is one of my favourite Indian restaurants. The food is very high quality and the taste is authentic. There are a wide range of dishes to choose from, especially for vegetarians. The food here always tastes freshly prepared, unlike at some Indian restaurants, which means that it is not the best choice for a very quick meal. The waiters are very friendly. The best thing about this restaurant is that they have Limca (an Indian lemon/lime soft drink) available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice food shame about the servicediabloVIPDined on 26/1/2013I went to Guglee with my family on a night where the restaurant had lost power. This was not their fault and to the restaurants credit, they managed to keep going. The food was good and the price was resonable. My only issues were that the staff seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves then serving us and even after the lights came back on we had to go out of our way to get their attention. They didn't clear our table after we finished and they didn't offer us any dessert menu. They were very quick to get us the bill and this spoiled what had been a good evening.Special Features:
- Pre-cinema with friendsStevenVIPDined on 17/11/2012There was 6 of us and we left stuffed. It was amazing food and really good value...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food at Guglee RestaurantwhitelightDined on 6/11/2012My husband and I are fans of Indian cuisine and were not disappointed by Guglee. The service was very good and the staff were knowledgable about the food and able to make helpful suggestions. We were encouraged to try an Indian Shiraz (Sula Vineyards) which was surprisingly good and went extremely well with the food - neither of us were aware that mainstream Indian wines existed. Delicious food and good value. Recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good before or after IMAXSecretDinerDined on 27/10/2012Good place to eat pre or post the IMAX! Food is average, deco is good, decent value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative spins on Indian foodTSMLVIPDined on 26/10/2012The menu at Guglee has a lot of variety on it - and not just the standard Indian dishes that we're all used to; so we were delighted to be able to choose some different dishes and enjoy them. They really went out of their way to serve us quickly as we had a tight deadline, so this was really appreciated. Service was very polite to the point of almost trying too hard (we were asked three times during our meal if everything was OK) and we thought the meal was excellent value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great RestaurantStefanDined on 7/9/2012Guglee is a great, family run, Indian restaurant with authentic food and passionate service. We have been numerous times and the place delivers consistently food in high quality with great flavours in a relaxed atmosphere. The street food options are fantastic, albeit priced at the higher end of the spectrum. The staff is very friendly and chatty. We enjoyed it every time we went.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Guglee is a great choice for groupsSJWKJSDined on 24/5/2012This past week we brought 2 different groups of 7 to Guglee. The first was a weeknight get together with friends visiting from the US. They wanted a casual place with great food to reconnect with London friends. Next, we had a group of 5 Americans visiting London this weekend. When they said that they had never had Indian food we knew we had to take them to Guglee! I cannot stress enough how great the staff is--so patient about explaining the dishes and ingredients. Everyone loved the street food chaat dishes. We then ordered 6 different mains shared amongst the 7 of us to let our guests sample all of the wonderful flavours.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On the CSULA campus, I was greeted by Jackie (Jacquelyn) Lowe, who offered skydiving lessons, snowboarding tickets, and other sport related activities for the promotion being offered by her company, Xtreme So Cal. I was genuinely interest, and Jackie seemed like a nice person. After hearing her pitch I decided I would join. But I was notified that if I could get a friend in on the package, we could split the costs. Sounds like I plan, I thought. I gave her my information and my credit card number. Which in hindsight wasn't the best thing to do.
However, I was told that nothing would be charged yet. I then asked Jackie if my card will be charged with anything without my consent (meaning automatic payments) she assured me it would not. The contract I signed also had a box below the terms and condition stating if I agree to make a "1 time payment of 99. [continued below]....
Cut ahead two and half weeks later, I haven't found anyone who would want to join me in the SoCal promotion, so I decide to cancel. Let it be known that Jackie also never specified the cancellation dates. Which, even if she did, wouldn't have helped seeing as the time period mentioned on the contract conflicts with the time period mentioned on the website. I also notice that 99.95 dollars was taken from my account when viewing my online bank statement. Confused, I call Xtreme So Cal's billing department to figure out what is going on, exactly. Lo-and-behold, Jackie herself is the head of the billing department.
I informed the person on the other side of the line (I did not know it was Jackie at the time) that the sales rep I met at my campus had failed to properly inform me of the billing procedure. The head of the billing department flipped out and revealed herself to be Jackie. She claimed "you're a liar", "I've been doing this for five years" and other rather rude statements. Calmly I responded by stating that she did not tell me in detail how the billing process works. In fact, when I asked her if my card would be charged without my consent she flat out told me, "no!"
Again, she continued with "you're a dirty liar," "you will NEVER get your money back," "you are not welcome in this business again," and my personal favorite, "I don't care if they charge you for the rest of your life." Real classy.
Case in point. This business is a scam. Their sales reps and the head of the billing department, Jacquelyn Lowe, is a deceptive, conniving, belligerent, shrew. After some internet searching, the deals and promotional code Xtreme SoCal offers aren't even valid at the various sporting locations they claim they are in partnership with.
SCAM SCAM SCAM. But don't think I'm going down without a fight. I'm working to get Xtreme SoCal banned from soliciting at California campuses.

Apple has been 'pulling the string' on the Apple TV for seven years now. Think about that one for a minute: it's had a set-top box since before the iPhone.

While Apple has a long way to go in order to make the Apple TV a decent… Read More

Apple Scoops Up Matcha.tv To Pack More Smarts Into Apple TV
Apple may still keep us guessing over whether it will ever make a physical Apple TV set, but it's clearly strengthening its play for the living room, by becoming the conduit between us and the screen on which we choose to watch video content.

Apple is said by Bloomberg to be working on a deal that would bring Time Warner Cable content to its Apple TV set-top streaming box, for subscribers to TWC's existing cable packages.

Renoir made the acquaintance of the Charpentier family in 1875, after Georges Charpentier, the well-known publisher, purchased three paintings by Renoir at auction. He later commissioned him to paint his wife and their children, Georgette, then six years old, and Paul, then three, shown at their home on 11–13 rue de Grenelle with their Newfoundland dog, Porthos.Between 1876 and 1882, Renoir painted seven additional portraits of the Charpentier family: a bust-length portrait of Madame Charpentier of 1876–77 (Musée d'Orsay, Paris; DD 465), of which there are two other versions (one sold at Sotheby's, New York, November 5, 2003, no. 4, and the other, a pastel, present location unknown); two portraits of Georgette, one of 1876 (Bridgestone Museum of Art, Tokyo; DD 499) and another of 1880 (sold at Sotheby's, London, November 28, 1989, no. 9; DD 486); an 1878 pastel of Paul (sold at Christie's, London, July 6, 1971, no. 33); and an unfinished pastel of 1882, of another daughter, Jane (present location unknown) [see Ref. Bailey 1997].

vehicles start entering the Puget Sound marketplace this fall. The "Get Plug-In Ready—Now!" workshop was coordinated by Puget Sound New Energy Solutions, a partnership of Central Puget Sound municipalities, utilities, housing and transit authorities.
Viridity Energy received a $900,000 grant for a pilot project with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), the nation's sixth largest public transit organization. Viridity will deploy its software to allow SEPTA to run a pilot project to install regenerative braking systems on trains at the City of Philadelphia's busiest subway line. Electricity captured by the systems would be stored, with excess energy offered for sale at a premium to PJM grid operators. Viridity says the system is intended to reduce SEPTA's operating costs and carbon footprint and also help stabilize the grid.
Ford and Oncor are coordinating efforts to help prepare North Texas for the operation of EVs. Ford and Oncor will work together to develop consumer outreach and education programs on EVs, as well as share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support demand. Cooperation between Ford and Oncor also involves working with the state and local governments on the most efficient ways to bring EVs to North Texas.
Oncor says it has installed more than 1 million of its planned 3.4 million smart meters, capable of providing information to help customers charge EVs when rates are lowest. Oncor added that it will build about 850 miles of new transmission lines from Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ) in West Texas to the rest of the state by 2013, enabling EVs to be powered from renewable energy sources.
ABB and General Motors have signed a non-exclusive MOU to cooperate on a research and development project that will investigate uses for EV batteries once their useful life in the vehicle is over. The project will examine the potential of reusing spent lithium-ion battery packs from GM's electric car, the Chevy Volt, as a means of providing cost-effective energy storage capacity. According to GM, the Volt's battery still will have significant capacity to store electrical energy, even after its automotive life is over.
Echelon Corp.'s board appointed Ron Sege as president and CEO and the company's board. He most recently served as president and COO of 3Com from 2008 through its acquisition by HP.
Orion Energy Systems named Michael Potts its president and COO. Potts served most recently as Orion's executive v.p., building on a more than 20-year career in energy management.
Sensus selected David Elve as v.p. of industry solutions. Elve will lead the regulatory and standards environment and support the company's global smart-grid initiatives. Elve brings 20 years of utility and IT experience with leading international companies, including Enspiria Solutions, Landis+Gyr and Atos Origin. Most recently, Elve was v.p. with Enspiria, recently acquired by Black & Veatch.
ARCADIS, the international design, consulting, engineering and management services company, hired Debbie J. Vreeland as v.p. serving ARCADIS' energy market sector, based in Billings, Mont.

Balancing Act: Clément Layes on Performance, Philosophy, and the Art of Play
The Green Room

Clément Layes' Allege is based on a simple question: "What can I do, and not do, while balancing a glass of water on my head?" The result is a thought-provoking exploration of categories and constraints, habit and expectation—a performance that weaves together Layes' training in theater, dance, circus, and philosophy while remaining resolutely uncategorizable.

The childhood memories of Chloe Fouilloux, as told second hand by Finnegan Roy-Nyline This interview takes place at the Minnesota Children's Museum in downtown Saint Paul. Chloe's collection of childhood memories, I thought, would fit nicely in the playground, with a nice little atmosphere of innocence. So if any of you know the Children's Museum, we sat in the room with the giant ant hill, in that…

Brand Alignment

"The constant dance between artists' brands and corporate brands has become a subject all to itself," one that artists can no longer avoid. A look into these relationships shows how artists are consciously, and unironically, aligning themselves with corporations.

The Green Room
Jan 8

Welcome to 'Frank's Challenge 2014′ blog!
After the great success of my epic ride for my 60th in 2012, from John O'Groats in Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall, when you helped me reach a total sponsorship of over £3,500 for The Dystonia Society, the challenge I have set for myself this year is from Kent to Cornwall, along the south coast of England, travelling on a mountain bike and using as many off-road tracks and paths as possible. Distance is around 350 miles, starting in Tenterden in Kent and finishing in St.Ives, the pretty seaside town on the north coast of Cornwall. I have planned 9 days for the route, so please read 'The Route' page to check out where I might be at any given time. I do not have any sponsorship in place this year so this is purely a personal challenge.
I am still looking for people to come join me for some of this trip, so if you might like to join me for a day or more of the ride, please contact me! Pace will not be fast – average of under 10mph will be the norm as I am riding a mountain bike with a front box and carrying a rucksack myself. Daily distance will be around 40 miles. Some days have a total climbing of over 1,500 metres (5,000ft) which means although short on mileage, are not going to be easy going!

Virginia sophomore golfer Ben Rusch drained a five-foot par putt on the final hole to win the 2012 ACC Championships by a single stroke and become the first Cavalier to capture the individual title since 1955. Rusch, a native of Weinfelden, Switzerland, shot 3-under 69 during Sunday's cool, rainy conditions at the Old North State Club in New London, N.C, for a 54-hole total of 10-under 206.
Rusch's victory helped No. 20 Virginia to a second-place finish in the team competition. The Cavaliers shot 1-over 289 during the final round for a three-day total of 20-under 844. That bettered the UVa team scoring record at the ACC Championships by four shots. The 1992 team held the previous best mark at 16-under 848 recorded at Northgreen Country Club in Rocky Mount, N.C.
Georgia Tech won its fourth straight ACC title at 27-under 837. Florida State was third at 847, three shots behind UVa. The Yellow Jackets entered the final round with an 11-shot lead on the Cavaliers. Virginia managed to close that to four shots at one point during the round.
Rusch said he was surprised to learn he was only the second Cavalier golfer to bring home the individual crown since Pete Arend won the title in 1955.
"I didn't know that and it makes me so proud," Rusch said. "I just played and didn't want to control anything and it just happened. I hit some great shots and made some good putts. I didn't really make any putts the first two rounds. I missed many but today I actually made a lot."
Virginia's showing marked the second time in three years the Cavaliers have been the tournament runner-up. The 2010 squad was second at 10-under 854. UVa had placed second just twice over the previous 56 seasons before its runner-up finish in 2010.
Rusch started the final round in fifth place after turning in scores of 5-under 67 Friday and 2-under 70 on Saturday. Georgia Tech's Richard Werenski entered Sunday atop the leaderboard by one shot but carded a 4-over 76 to drop back to a tie for seventh place at 211.
Rusch posted a pair of birdies on his front nine to make the turn at 2-under. He then managed three consecutive birdies on holes 10, 11 and 12 to grab the tournament lead. Rusch struggled with a pair of bogeys on holes 15 and 16 before finishing with two pars to claim the title.
"I was really nervous," Rusch said about his closing holes. "The shot I hit into the water on 16, I was just trying to get up and down for a five. I didn't want to look at the scoreboard but it actually happened. I saw that I was one ahead. On 17 (par three), I thought I hit a good shot but it went into the bunker. I didn't really think much about it and I hit a great shot right up by the cup. On 18, I just tried to stay dry. It (putt) was four to five feet and I knew it would be straight because coach told me it was. I just tried to make a good stroke."
Rusch's best finish this season was a third-place effort at The Palmetto in Aiken, S.C. Last year he picked up his first collegiate victory by winning the 36-hole Cavalier Classic at 9-under135. He did not play in the ACC Championships last season.
Rusch had plenty of help leading the Cavaliers to a second-place finish.
Virginia freshman Denny McCarthy was fourth in his first ACC Championship appearance. After shooting 7-under 65, tying the best single-round score by an ACC competitor in 11 years of competition at The Old North State Club, McCarthy finished at 7-under 209. He shot 73 during the final round. It was his fifth top-10 outing this season.
UVa senior Ben Kohles, the ACC player of the year in 2010 and 2011, shot 74 Sunday to place 12th at 3-under 213. Bruce Woodall was 29th at 219 and freshman Ji Soo Park was 32nd at 200. Woodall shot 73 during the final round while Park carded a round of 74 that included a hole in one on the par-3, 211-yard third hole.
The Cavaliers will next compete at an NCAA Regional site May 19-21.

Kristen Stewart: So Nervous for Robert Pattinson's Daily Show Appearance!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Is your DVR set?
Robert Pattinson will be a guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight. And while most of the free world is excited over the actor's first public appearance since his heart was torn to shreds by Kristen Stewart, sources say at least one person is "very, very nervous" about how it will go:
Kristen Stewart.
"She's confident that Robert, who has always been such a private person about his personal life, will keep quiet over the cheating scandal," an insider tells Radar Online. "But she does have some concerns that Stewart might poke fun at the situation in an attempt to get Robert to open up."
Let's hope so, right?!?
The status of Robsten remains unclear, although multiple outlets confirm the couple is no longer living together in Los Angeles.
One report claims Pattinson has been drunk dialing his cheating costar, while another (anonymous) source tells Radar that Robert is legitimately torn over the pair's future.
"He's starting to wind down and really think about what he's going to do regarding his relationship with Kristen. He goes back and forth... He has a lot to think about and hasn't decided either way right now."
ROB GET BACK WITH KRISTEN! you guys were meant for each other. i dont think i could live in a world that there is no Robsten! i mean , she made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes. its suddenly so much more worst if your a celebrity cause the press and the papperazzi will blow things way out of poportion and make things even worse. i dont think kristen realised how much this would have hurt rob and i think she sorry for what she's done and the press and some of the crazy fans are giving her such a hard time. ROBSTEN FOREVER
robert please please i hope he forgive kristen
everbody deseves a second chance
rob talk to her and lisen on how sorry she is !!!
Rob always love kristen its so sad
love you rob
from the netherlands
Does anyone else feel like at some point they're just going to go haha got you all - the whole affair was fake! It's just so bizarre and seems really out of character for her. I keep thinking maybe this is actually a Joaquin Phoenix prank...wishful thinking perhaps.
Perhaps the whole thing is a publicity stunt.
ROBERT!! My opinion.. think right what you really want to do with kristen...
Maybe she feel bad what she did... but she should thought what she was going to do but she allready did it she destroyed every thing she had..
People has every thing but when they cheats they want to get it back and thats whats hapaning with kristen I wanna say if some day you wanna talk to some body im always here to listen to you if you want in private just add me on facebook and my full name is elised ramirez
Or else I have a email address is firstname.lastname@example.com well have a great night muahhhh..
ROBERT!!!!!! I Wanna say somethings to you and I hope you see this message soon.. You deserved someone better to love you and respect to you and always be honest with no matter what happened and lever cheats and not telling lies actually I really do understand what you feeling right now love is the first thing in our lifes because its some thing very beautiful that you had in your life honestly if you think to back with its going to be hard for you because its not easy to trust someone that allready cheat on you...
Kristen!!!!! Just leave him alone you cannot make him to for give you GOSH!!!
you broke his feelings, and now his been trinking allot just because of you what you did you should think it twice after you did it...
Robsten should get back because they fit each other not tht i like any of them but for the sake of breaking dawn and the sex scenes itll b totally awkward if they hate eachother best luck 2 both of them
Robert was never right for Kristen. Even if they were trying to hide their relationship from the public, even though everyone knew about it, they still didn't seem like they mesh well together. But, best of luck to them both.
