COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION "Double" (imperial) wheat stout. This imperial really strikes back. From a strange country far, far away, comes the only Imperial Wheat Stout in the known universe. Once again, the Hand brewery - four guys brewing in their spare time, on an absurdly small scale - boldly goes where no brewery has gone before.

January 31, 2015 - Pretty, pretty purse. Lots of room to carry "stuff." And it good to know recycled material was used to make it. I love it!
September 8, 2014 - I'm very pleased with this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, hand bag! It is more lovely in person than the picture. Thank You for such a lovely purse and great cause. Laura of Kirkland.
September 7, 2014 - Alas, these must each be truly one of a kind and unfortunately, mine is made from a selection of different, glittery fabrics, some of which are far more suitable for a showgirl's wardrobe. It's incredibly ugly in comparison to the illustration.
December 31, 2013 - Fabulous bag! So bright and colourful! My rescue dogs "bought it for me" for xmas.. I just love it! I have also noticed a bit of the embroidery unravelling - hurry up and restock it so I can buy another spare!! :D

SIXTEEN years after Ronald Reagan set NASA, America's space agency, the goal of establishing a permanently manned orbital outpost, its first residents have moved in. The members of the "Expedition 1" crew, two Russians and an American, clambered aboard their new home on November 2nd after blasting off in a Soyuz spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on October 31st. Since then they have floated around before the on-board television camera, done a little light work and upset mission control by demanding the call sign Alpha, implying that they are on the first-ever space station (which they aren't: Russia's Mir was first). Their arrival has been, predictably, accompanied by declarations about mankind's bold steps into space. But the truth is that the space station, which will take until at least 2006 to complete at a cost of over $100 billion, is a monumental waste of time and money.
The original purpose of the space station, in the cold-war spirit of 1984, was to assert America's might as a space-travelling superpower. The station, dubbed Freedom, was due to be completed by 1994 at a cost of $8 billion. But Mr Reagan's successor, George Bush, unveiled a change of plan in 1989, on the 20th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing. The space station, he announced, would now be completed by 1999, in preparation for a manned mission to Mars in 2019. But this part of the plan was quickly shelved when NASA worked out how much a Mars mission would cost: a staggering $450 billion.
Instead, the European, Canadian and Japanese space agencies agreed to get involved with the station, which was repositioned as a model for international co-operation in space. In 1993, with the cold war over, the Russians were invited to join in too. The space station thus became a tool of foreign policy. The involvement of the Russians reduced the chances of that country's rocket scientists going off to work for Iran or North Korea, and was also expected to save $2 billion through cheaper technology and reduced launch costs.
In the event, Russian involvement has proved a disaster. It has cost America, the dominant member of the 16-nation consortium that is now building the station, an additional $3 billion in delays and hand-outs to the cash-strapped Russian space programme. Russian components of the station do not come up to American safety standards, and will require expensive "on-orbit" modifications. Worst of all, Russia has still not got rid of its ancient Mir space station, thus raising suspicions about its commitment to the international project. (Last week several Russian officials suggested that Mir would be crashed into the Pacific early next year, but such claims have been made before, only for the station to be granted a last-minute reprieve.)
Overpriced and overhead
What of the station's scientific merits? The truth is that very few scientists—other than those whose livelihoods depend on it—have a kind word to say about the project. One of the supposed benefits of the space station is that research which would be difficult or impossible on earth can be performed in its microgravity environment. But no useful experiment has been proposed that could not be performed on an unmanned satellite, except those that assess the effects of living in orbit—a circular argument for the station's existence. NASA makes much of the possibility of discovering cures for cancer in space. But critics point out that earthbound researchers would be able to achieve far more if they had access to the enormous amounts of money being spent on the space station.
Denuded of its political fig-leaf and its scientific justification, what exactly is the space station for? Its main purpose is to give NASA's astronauts and space shuttles something to do. NASA's enthusiasm for the project is fuelled by a desire to keep manned spaceflight alive, since the agency's bosses think that only manned flight keeps the public interested. In the past that may have been true. Now it is not so clear. In recent years, interest in shuttle missions has dwindled. In 1998 NASA even resorted to the blatant publicity stunt of sending John Glenn, a 77-year-old former astronaut, up in a shuttle on a scientifically spurious pretext. Meanwhile, it is the exploration of Mars, by such craft as the 1997 Pathfinder probe, that has captured the public imagination. (On October 26th NASA unveiled its plans for the robotic investigation of Mars over the next two decades.) All of which suggests that the space station might not be the public-relations triumph that NASA once hoped.
But perhaps the greatest irony is that since George Bush's rash promise to send people to the red planet, the cost of doing so has dropped dramatically. The cost of a manned landing, based on a radical new mission plan that involves extracting fuel for the return trip from the Martian atmosphere, is currently put at around $30 billion—a fraction of the cost of the space station. Instead of wasting years of effort and billions of dollars building a pointless castle in the sky, NASA could have followed both its scientific and populist instincts, and gone to Mars.

Really delicious, disappeared in minutes. Very crunchy and crisp. Super easy and quick to make. Thanks for sharing.
REVIEWER: cooksmeasure
Made these today. They burnt slightly in my oven at 170C FF but were still delicious and so quick and easy. I'll be making these often and will make a correction for my particular oven and do at 150C FF next time. I also substituted sunflower seeds for the hazelnuts. Worked out fine. Thanks for a great little recipe!
REVIEWER: oracle
I substituted the sultanas and nuts for chopped dried apricots and macadamia nuts, and I added a few drops of vanilla. As stated, the mixture is crumbly but spoonfuls come together if squashed in your hand. I will be making these again, they are delicious!
REVIEWER: funingoa
These were a big hit with my work colleagues and so easy to throw together. Will be making again and again.
REVIEWER: kelly_93
I made these biscuits yesterday, and they were beautiful! I didnt have sultanas, choc chips or hazelnuts, but I subsituted them with dried mixed fruit, almonds and 2 crushed tim tams. I also added about 2½ tablespoons of coconut for a bit more flavour to the biscuit. Absolutely yummo!

Half Shell Raw Bar Restaurant Review: Half Shell Raw Bar on the old waterfront is a ramshackle joint with several outdoor decks. Its semi-open Sailfish bar is a rowdy gathering place for locals who come to party and down cold beers with freshly shucked Gulf oysters and seafood finger foods, like beer-steamed peel 'n' eat shrimp or a bucket of steamed clams. There's also conch fritters, fried oyster po' boys, crab cakes on toasted Cuban bread, and fried fish sandwiches with fries and slaw or dill potato salad. Baby-back ribs are available for those averse to seafood. No AC and no tablecloths, but distinctive views of Key West Harbor with a taste of island life. |

Parasailing Industry May See New Guidelines
Legislative Session Coverage
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — The parasailing industry in Florida could be subject to safety guidelines under a bill passed by the Florida Legislature Thursday.
The Florida Senate voted unanimously to regulate the popular water sport in which people are lifted into the air by a motor boat.
The industry has received national attention in recent years with several deaths and accidents, but previous attempts to regulate parasailing have been rejected.
The bill (SB 320) heads to the desk of Gov. Rick Scott.
One of the main requirements is that parasailing would be banned if there is a sustained wind speed of more than 20 miles per hour.
In 2012, Kathleen Miskell died after her parasail harness broke and she plummeted as much as 200 feet into the Atlantic Ocean.

GRANVILLE, Ohio — An official at a central Ohio college says a student who was the subject of intensive search over the weekend apparently died of hypothermia after falling asleep outside.Denison University student David Hallman III was last seen leaving a downtown Granville restaurant early Saturday. The 21-year-old Erie, Pa., native was found Saturday night outside a garage in a condo complex about a half mile away.
WASHINGTON — The State Department says it is "deeply disappointed" in North Korea's decision to withdraw for a second time an invitation to a U.S. envoy to discuss the release of a jailed American businessman.
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Sunday called for Kenneth Bae's immediate release and said the US would continue to work actively toward that end.
The decision apparently came in protest of upcoming regularly scheduled joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, which Psaki said are not linked to Bae's case.
NEW YORK (AP) — "The Lego Movie" clicked with moviegoers, assembling an exceptional $69.1 million debut at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates.
The better-than-expected result made the Warner Bros. collaboration with the Danish toy company easily the biggest hit of the year so far. A sequel is already in development for the 3-D animated film, digitally drawn to mimic a world composed entirely of Lego bricks.
BERLIN (AP) — Actor Shia LaBeouf hit the Berlin Film Festival in memorable style Sunday, first walking out of a press conference for the film "Nymphomaniac Volume I" and then wearing a paper bag over his head at the red carpet premiere.
The actor posed for photographers in a stylish tuxedo — and a paper bag with eyeholes and the words "I am not famous anymore" written across it. LaBeouf has frequently used the statement on his Twitter page, and he was identifiable by a tattoo on his hand.
MADISONVILLE, Texas (AP) — Bursts of applause had already interrupted Rafael Cruz repeatedly, but the loudest cheer of the night came when the Cuban-born pastor finally made the Barack Obama-Fidel Castro comparison the crowd had been waiting for.
"He acts no different than that bearded guy I left behind in Cuba," the father of firebrand U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz told a packed tea party gathering.
Missouri All-American Michael Sam says he is gay, and the defensive end could become the first openly homosexual player in the NFL.
In interviews with ESPN, The New York Times and Outsports, Sam says he came out to his teammates and coaches at Missouri in August.
Sam says: "I am an openly, proud gay man."
The 255-pound Sam participated in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., last month after leading the SEC in sacks (11.5) and tackles for loss (19), and he is projected to be a mid-round NFL draft pick.
EDITOR'S NOTE: In February 1964, the Beatles took America by storm, and rock 'n' roll was never the same.
AP reporters covering the band's Feb. 7 arrival at New York's Kennedy Airport and their appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" two days later never failed to mention John, Paul, George and Ringo's long hair, or the screaming teenage girls who followed them wherever they went.
TOKYO (AP) — Yoichi Masuzoe, a former health minister backed by Japan's ruling party, won Tokyo's gubernatorial election on Sunday, defeating two candidates who had promised to end nuclear power.
Masuzoe's victory was declared in exit polls on public broadcaster NHK within minutes after voting closed. Masuzoe, 65, appeared smiling before cameras, with his supporters shouting "Banzai," and promised to make Tokyo "the No. 1 city in the world."
The ballot was widely seen as a test for Japan's public opinion on atomic power in a nation shaken by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Saying it needed to prevent inbreeding, the Copenhagen Zoo killed a 2-year-old giraffe and fed its remains to lions as visitors watched, ignoring a petition signed by thousands and offers from other zoos and a private individual to save the animal.
Marius, a healthy male, was put down Sunday using a bolt pistol, said zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro. Visitors, including children, were invited to watch while the giraffe was then skinned and fed to the lions.
A storage unit at Top Dog Storage, located on Hughes Street in Athens, was entered sometime between Dec. 12 through Feb. 8, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.
The renter reported Saturday that when she went to the unit to retrieve some items, the pad lock was missing from the unit and multiple items had been taken, according to the report.

For a recent interview (before the sale) with Tapout CEO Dan Caldwell that explains the company's strategies, click here.
Press Release:
NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES and TORONTO, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Authentic Brands Group, LLC, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, is proud to announce the acquisition of TapouT and Silver Star Casting Company (Silver Star), two of the biggest names in the mixed martial arts (MMA) industry.
MMA is the world's fastest growing sport with billions of dollars in annual revenue and global appeal. Authentic Brands Group acquired TapouT and Silver Star as part of its multi-branded distribution strategy designed to protect brand integrity.
Authentic Brands Group has global brand building experience in apparel, action sports, consumer electronics, home and celebrity brands. The company's innovative marketing strategies include traditional and social media, and securing partnerships with high profile athletes and celebrities.
Authentic Brands Group's Chairman & CEO Jamie Salter said, "This sport is still in its infancy. We strategically chose these acquisitions as our first big move because we're getting into the right business at the right time.
"We're looking forward to working with the best brands and the best athletes in the world as we transition these two companies into global lifestyle brands with our retail and licensing partners."
With the acquisition of TapouT, Authentic Brands Group now owns the number one MMA lifestyle brand in the world, a brand name that has become synonymous with the sport itself.
TapouT has global brand awareness that has grown alongside the MMA over the last 15 years by staying focused on the athletes and the fans. Built by three impassioned men who trained in MMA, the late Charles "Mask" Lewis, Dan "Punkass" Caldwell and Timm "Skyskrape" Katz, TapouT has maintained its authenticity through its rapid growth by staying deeply rooted in the MMA culture.
Caldwell said, "TapouT is more than a company or a brand to me, it is a way of life. With the passing of my best friend and co-founder Charles "Mask" Lewis, we've been through a lot.
"Now we are focused on continuing to set the standard as the industry leader, bringing to life Mask's dream of building a billion dollar empire. Authentic Brands Group understands what TapouT is about and they share our vision. Mask always said to simply 'believe' and that one word became our formula for success. We believe in Authentic Brands Group and they believe in us."

Blake Griffin's Chance to Prove He's Tough Enough
Blake Griffin easily had his best season as a pro, averaging a career-high 24 points per game during the regular season and leading the way for the Clippers to defeat the Warriors in seven games to advance to the second round. While Griffin has toughened up considerably, in becoming the Clippers' "go-to guy," as Chris Paul said, is the fourth-year power forward tough enough to get LA past Durant and the Thunder? Doing so would definitely elevate BG's career, not to mention confidence, and leave previous postseason accusations about him being soft in his rear-view mirror. (Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Sovereign Bond Restructuring; Collective Action Clauses and official Crisis Intervention
This paper compares the restructuring of sovereign bonds with and without collective action clauses. One conclusion is that collective action clauses can allow efficient debt renegotiation in a formal model of sovereign debt renegotiation while unanimity rules offer incentives for opportunistic behavior by bondholders that leads to inefficient outcomes. With collective action clauses, the mutual gains from renegotiation can be internalized by bondholders so that the holders of each bond issue have incentives to participate in a collective debt restructuring. The analysis abstracts from transactions costs, and the last conclusion might well be sensitive to renegotiation and coordination costs.

Julie Morgenstern Brings Us Delegation Part 1: Providing Clear Directions
- by Julie Morgenstern

Organizing expert Julie Morgenstern on how to delegate
Click here to read the whole story on the BEYOND TODAY blog
Imagine you are shipping something across the country — family heirlooms, a dining set, an old loveseat for your son, the recent college graduate. Now, imagine when the guy driving the truck arrives, you provide fuzzy directions — a town, but no street address, your son's first name only, no deliver-by due date, no hint of how to get there. You slap him on the back on the way out the door, "You'll be great, buddy, just figure it out." Sheer madness, right? This is how people delegate tasks all the time.
By all measures, delegation is a challenging time management skill. People often lament — "by the time I explain it, I could just do it myself" or "every time I delegate something I have to re-do the work anyway." At the root of blurry direction are usually two feelings, either a belief that your guidance might cramp the other person's style; or worse, "I don't know what I want, but I know it when I see it" (fourteen words sure to make anyone with services-for-hire shudder).
Staying vague is costly — you waste bundles of money paying people who don't produce what you want or need, or redoing the work 10 times, as you change your mind. You also pay in gobs of time — taking over tasks that weren't on your to-do list, stealing focus and energy you can't afford.
Whether you're delegating at the office, bringing on a landscaper or hiring a photographer for your daughter's upcoming nuptials (as I am), click here for three ways to improve your "guiding" skills on the Beyond Today blog.
New York Times bestselling author Julie Morgenstern is an organizing and time-management expert, business productivity consultant and speaker. Her company, Julie Morgenstern Enterprises, is dedicated to using her philosophies and methods to provide a wide range of practical solutions that transform the way people and companies function.

Seems to me I have always been on either the giving or receiving end of delegation, depending on my current job. Sometimes both.
If you are handed a task and don't know what to do with it, ASK QUESTIONS. It's only smart to get up to speed. And remember your boss is probably not the only one who has ever dealt with the situation. You can seek out advice from co-workers as well.
If you are delegating a task, SPECIFY the important parts, or the essential standard, stay available for guidance, but let your subordinate run with it. Usually, I found that they do the work to standard, no surprises; but sometimes, they will come up with a solution that you might not have thought of and it might even be an improvement!
Barbara says:
Lila, Interesting that you say this. Many years ago, when I was a new manager, a friend sent me a video of Pat Helm talking about the Power Dead Even Rule. She is a fascinating speaker and one of the points she makes is that men and women operate very differently in business. The boss (usually a man) gives direction. The male takes that direction and says "Great!" He runs out of the room and does stuff. The female says, "Did you take this into account? Could we approach it this way? How about that for an additional thought?"
The male boss loves the "team player" male worker who understands he is the coach calling the play and goes out and starts executing. He views the female as a problem. He feels like she just doesn't get it. She's such a pain in the a** because she asks so many questions.
When it is time for a promotion, the go-to-it male gets the promo, even though the female had a better thought out approach, the people working with her love her teaming and she has a deep understanding of what she is doing.
I've always remembered this. When I'm delegated a task, I immediately say yes and get going. I figure out what the end result metric will be and I drive straight toward that.
There's nothing wrong with your suggestion to ask questions. It just made me smile as I remembered the piece by Pat Helm.
Barbara, yes, men and women really have different styles. People have told me that I am not a "typical female." Whatever that means; I'm just myself.
But on the questions: Haven't you run into folks who hate to ask questions, lest they be thought stupid? Yet many of my bosses have had the philosophy that the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. And more than once, sitting in some meeting, a strange acronym would get tossed out and I would ask: "What is that? I haven't heard it before." And it would get explained. Almost invariably, someone else would then say, "I sure am glad you asked that, because I didn't know either."
You are right, though – the questions need to help define the desired end state, and once you know that, it's off and running.
Chris Glass` says:
Too many people are afraid to delegate or act as a true leader for fear of not being liked. If you are in a position of authority you need to learn to separate your work life from your social life. If you are in charge the people under you need clear cut instructions.
The other part of delegating is to step back and let people do their work without micromanaging. Anytime the leader steps in and says "May I make a suggestion?" the person doing the work is often kicked back to square one. As a leader you have to learn to accept that the work can be completed to the company satisfaction in different ways. I can always learn from those other methods.

This article is brought to you by TradeWinds Island Resorts.
We booked the Easy Being Green package at TradeWinds Island Grand on St. Pete Beach to enjoy the beach while being kind to Mother Earth. Since the Island Grand and its sister property, the Sandpiper Suites, hold the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Two Palm designation, which means they meet several environmental standards, it seems a natural choice.
I must admit I am still a little skeptical – after all, it's trendy to say you're green these days – but we figure regardless of how green it turns out to be we will at least have a luxury beach getaway.
We are not disappointed on any account. Our package includes a luxury suite, sunset cruise, trolley passes, tickets to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a tote bag and sponsorship for a convalescent sea turtle at the aquarium.
Beauty of Being Green
Upon entering the hotel's Grand Colonnade, my husband James and I feel the beauty of being green. Rays of natural sunlight from the atrium shine down on towering palms, giving us a sense of being outdoors with the cushiony comforts of indoors.
Our tastefully decorated suite with a view of the sparkling blue tide and white sandy beach wraps us in natural splendor. A card in our room says we can help conserve by reusing bath towels, only having sheets changed every three days and leaving recyclables – plastic and glass bottles, and newspapers – on the counter. (It has bigger impact than you may think. Reducing linen laundry has cut the resort's water consumption by 30 percent since 2003, and recycling has cut landfill waste by 10 percent since 2006.)
We head to the pool, where we pick up large beach towels that we use throughout our stay, and hit the sand to soak up some Vitamin D – sunshine. The waves are gentle, and we stroll along the water's edge until it was time to prepare for a more romantic wind-powered water adventure.
Breezy Travel
We use our complimentary trolley passes to reach the docks of Dolphin Landings. The sails billow, and salt air caresses our faces as our 41-foot sailboat glides smoothly along the Intracoastal Waterway. No more than 50 yards away, a family of dolphins repeatedly surfaces and submerges to the rhythm of the sea. We reach the mouth of Tampa Bay as the sun melts into the open sea. The sky is a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges and yellows meeting the horizon of sparkling blue.
When we return to our suite the sun has long given way to the moon, and from our balcony the sea glows periwinkle under the moonlight. The resort's amber lighting along the beachfront allows you to see the ocean at night in a way bright shore lights won't allow. But it also has an environmental benefit that we don't fully appreciate until the next day.
After seeing dolphins in the wild, we're eager to learn more about them. Perched on the bay side of Clearwater Beach, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is most famous for Winter, a rescued dolphin with a prosthetic tail. We spot her happily lounging on a pool raft, while nearby another dolphin puts on a show.
The aquarium is a marine hospital, and its only permanent residents are those that can no longer survive in the wild. This is evident as we watch the100-pound sea turtles. As part of TradeWinds' package we adopt Bailey, a green sea turtle that is partially paralyzed and floats unnaturally. We get a certificate and photo of Bailey, and the resort donates money in our name toward the turtle's care.
We learn one reason why green sea turtles are endangered as we watch a film and see hatchlings marching toward the ocean. Lighted shorelines discourage mother turtles from nesting there and confuse hatchlings, drawing them to civilization rather than the sea.
When we return to our balcony that night, we appreciate the amber lighting even more. Because of its wavelength, turtles can't even see it at night. In fact, since the lighting was changed a sea turtle nested on the shore for the first time in 28 years. Imagine, 83 tiny turtles crawling to the surf just steps from your hotel room. Being green has never been so easy – or so much fun.

Bahrain's National Safety Court sentenced the chairman of the teachers' union and his deputy, both Shiite Muslims, to prison for encouraging anti-government protests, the state-run Bahrain News Agency said.
Mehdi Abu Deib and Jalila al-Salman were convicted of using their position at the union to instigate anti-regime acts such as sit-ins and demonstrations, urging the "forceful ouster" of the regime and broadcasting false statements, BNA said. Mehdi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and al-Salman to three.
Seven other people were sentenced to 15-year jail terms for cutting the tongue of an Asian muezzin who calls for prayer, the agency said.
Another four were jailed for between one and three years for hiding two wanted people, and one got three years for failing to report the running over of two policemen.
Bahraini authorities detained hundreds of people, most of them Shiites, following a crackdown on protesters who held rallies in February and March to demand representative government.
At least 35 people were killed during the clashes. The country's population is majority-Shiite while its hereditary rulers are Sunni.

HBO Premieres BOARDWALK EMPIRE Season 4 Tonight
Atlantic City, February 1924: After barely surviving an overthrow by gangster Gyp Rossetti, Nucky Thompson is laying low at the end of the Boardwalk. But the calm will be short-lived, as Nucky faces new challenges, including a clash with the mayor, a battle with his brother Eli over Eli's college-age son, and the irresistible lure of lucrative - and perilous - opportunities in Florida.
From Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of "The Sopranos," and Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, Boardwalk Empire is set in the 1920s during Prohibition, and chronicles the life and times of Enoch "Nucky" Thompson. The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning drama series kicks off its 12-episode fourth season TONIGHT, SEPT. 8 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.
Boardwalk Empire stars Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson; Kelly Macdonald as Margaret, Nucky's estranged wife; Michael Shannon as former Federal Agent Nelson Van Alden, caught up in gangland conflicts; Shea Whigham as Nucky's brother Elias, whose attempt to steer his son clear of Nucky's influence sparks fraternal tensions; Jack Huston as disfigured war veteran Richard Harrow, who is searching for a new purpose in life; Stephen Graham as gangster Al Capone; Michael Stuhlbarg as gangster Arnold Rothstein, who's newly wary of Nucky; Vincent Piazza as gangster Lucky Luciano; Paul Sparks as Mickey Doyle, head of Nucky's bootlegging operation; Michael Kenneth Williams as Nucky's ally Chalky White, leader of the city's African-American community; Gretchen Mol as Gillian, battling demons from her past as she seeks custody of her grandson; and Anthony Laciura as Eddie Kessler, Nucky's longtime valet.
New cast members in season four include Jeffrey Wright as Valentin Narcisse, a violent Harlem Power Broker who tries to muscle in on Chalky's action; Ron Livingston as Roy Phillips, a business and romantic prospect of Gillian's; Patricia Arquette as Sally Wheet, a Florida speakeasy owner; Brian Geraghty as Federal Agent Warren Knox; and Domenick Lombardozzi and Morgan Spector as Al Capone's brothers, Ralph and Frank.

For many in the aerospace industry, one of the most memorable images of 2013 will be January's television footage of firefighters rushing to deal with a blaze inside a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Boston's Logan airport.
Boeing was rocked by the battery fire on the empty Dreamliner, operated by Japan Airlines. In a rare move, regulators ordered the temporary grounding of the worldwide fleet of 787s while Boeing fixed the problem.
The Dreamliner, Boeing's newest and most sophisticated passenger jet, is setting new standards in fuel efficiency – it is made mainly from lightweight carbon composites rather than traditional aluminium.
But Boeing's first-time use of lithium-ion batteries resulted in two cases of overheating – including the one at Logan airport.
Will 2013 end on a better note for Boeing, with the launch of a planned upgrade to its twin-engined 777 long-haul jet at the Dubai air show that begins on Sunday? And will this demonstrate that Boeing has made better bets than Airbus, its arch-rival, in the lucrative wide-body jet market?
Boeing is proposing a new version of its popular 777 jet, featuring more fuel-efficient engines and carbon composite wings, in a project dubbed the 777X.
Emirates Airline is considering becoming a 777X launch customer by buying as many as 100 of these jets – a deal that could give Boeing a $30bn-plus record-breaking order.
"I think, whatever happens, there will be a substantive order for the new 777," Tim Clark, Emirates Airline's president, said last month, although he stressed at the time no deal had been finalised.
Boeing's plans for the 777X highlight how it is trying to outmanoeuvre Airbus in the wide-body, twin-engined market by having more next-generation models than its European rival.
The US manufacturer aims to have five such jets: three versions of the Dreamliner plus two 777X models, carrying between 210 and 400 passengers.
By contrast, Airbus is only proposing one new wide-body jet – the A350, with plans to make it available in three versions, which will carry between 270 and 350 passengers. The A350 will compete with both the Dreamliner and the 777X, suggesting the European manufacturer would not have Boeing's breadth of coverage.
However, Fabrice Brégier, Airbus' chief executive, said last month the company could potentially build a fourth, enlarged version of the A350 by stretching its fuselage.
Analysts say Airbus' notable success last month in securing its first order from Japan Airlines for 31 A350s, worth $9.5bn at catalogue price, might partly have been the result of problems with the Dreamliner – although the Japanese carrier's management insisted the deal had nothing to do with the 787 issues.
Jim McNerney, Boeing's chief executive, said last month the Japan Airlines order with Airbus was "a campaign we did not want to lose".
"We will take it as a sign to do better and work harder," he added.
He tempered Boeing's disappointment in Japan by highlighting that Lufthansa had, in September, placed its first order for wide-body, twin-engined aircraft with the US manufacturer, by proposing to buy 34 777X jets.
Airbus is playing down the threat of the 777X by making an unflattering comparison with its initial proposal for the A350.
The original plans for the A350 involved attaching the aluminium fuselage of an Airbus A330 wide-body jet to new carbon composite wings – but airlines did not rush to buy the aircraft because its operating costs were inferior to those of the Dreamliner.
"The modified older aeroplane like [the original A350 proposal] can never have the same economics as the clean sheet of paper aeroplane," says John Leahy, Airbus' chief operating officer for customers, adding pointedly: "And that is what [Boeing] are running into right now [with the 777X]."
The final proposal for the A350 was a new design made principally from carbon composites. Airbus is aiming to deliver the first A350 to Qatar next year.
While keeping the A350 plans on track will be a big challenge, the most glaring issue for Airbus this year has been the lack of orders for the A380 superjumbo – which entered service in 2007. Doric Lease Corp has made a preliminary commitment to buy 20 A380s, and Airbus is hoping this will convert into an order before the end of 2013.
Randy Tinseth, a Boeing marketing executive, says Airbus overestimated the size of the market for large wide-body jets with four engines, such as the A380. Last month, Boeing reduced production of the 747-8 – the latest version of its 44-year-old jumbo jet – for the second time this year, blaming the move on reduced demand.
Zafar Khan, analyst at Société Générale, the bank, says: "The A380 has a future, but more as a niche player in the market, and the A350, the 787 and 777X are likely to be the workhorses in the wide-body segment."

There are three popular strategies that businesses can use to gain an advantage against their competitors: cost leadership, differentiation and focus. Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School pioneered these generic strategies and they continue to be popular in both business theory and practice.
Cost leadership happens when a business is the cheapest competitor in its industry. Cheap prices are attractive to customers, so being a low cost leader is an obvious advantage. Businesses can become cost leaders through economies of scale, switching to cheaper materials or suppliers and creating more efficient technologies. However, cost leadership strategies have a few pitfalls. Often, competitors copy the strategy and match the low prices. Too much focus on price can also cause a business to lose sight of other important factors.
Differentiation is a strategy that involves offering something different than competitors. Businesses can pursue this strategy by determining what their customers value and creating products tailored to their needs. Businesses that pursue differentiation strategies can often command higher prices, as they offer things that competitors do not.
Focus strategies involve concentrating on a specific niche of an industry rather than the industry as a whole. This strategy involves narrowing down a small and underserved target group of customers within the industry and serving the needs of those customers alone. Businesses can combine this strategy with low cost leadership or differentiation to become industry leaders.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Leena T The rotis( which looked like naans and DID NOT look or taste like Rotis) were burnt. We were visiting the bay area and decided to use the coupon. Will never visit this restaurant again.Also chicken dish taste was really bad. Nov 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ben G The service was good, but the atmosphere is mediocre at best Oct 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Michele A We were the only table they had the entire time we were there, which concerned me a bit. But everything was wonderful. They helped make recommendations when we asked their opinion. There was a strange banging noise almost the entire time we were there. It sounded like an old typewriter with a microphone next to it. That was a bit irritating. Aug 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kenneth Food quality this time was not as good as first experience. Ambience is lacking - this is your hole in the wall type of place. Great service Aug 7, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda W it was a late lunch, before they closed to get ready for the evening meal. Very nice people, very clean restaurant, and delicious food. Jul 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unja C 1) Very unprofessional service and slow service2) Food was not warm and nun was not fully baked as well as soaky3) Prawn tandoori was worst quality food that I ever tried. Prawn dish thy brought was not small tiny pre-boiled shrimp mixed with some spicy source. We couldn't finish even one third of our food. I would rather pay more money to eat decent food in somewhere else rather than going to this restaurant to redeem a cheap gift certificate. Jun 23, 2014
