CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Chattanooga Mocs sophomore Agathe Sauzon (Valence, France) was named Southern Conference Golfer of the Month by the league office Friday. Sauzon posted two top 10's during April to earn the award.
Sauzon's big splash came in the second of her two April appearances capturing the SoCon Championship leading Chattanooga to its fourth straight team title. She shot two-over par 218 tying for first with Mary Chandler Bryan from College of Charleston.
The playoff headed to the first hole, a par four dogleg right. Bryan was first to hit after both drives found the fairway. The Cougars freshman hit the green leaving a 30-foot birdie putt. Sauzon lined up her shot from 96 yards out and hit her 52 degree wedge to within three feet. Bryan's putt came up just short setting up an easy par. Sauzon dropped her birdie putt for the win.
It was the third consecutive conference medalist for the Mocs. Sauzon follows Emma de Groot (2011) and teammate Jordan Britt (2012) in the champions line.
That performance came after a great start to the month. She fired a one-over 217 with rounds of 72, 72 and 73 to end up tied for eighth at the Web.com Intercollegiate. She was named SoCon Golfer of the Week on April 10 after posting the team's best 54-hole total since Christine Wolf fired 209 (-7) in a winning effort at the 2011 JMU Eagle Landing Invitational.
She shot three-over par for her 108 April holes. The 435 total is the best two-tourney total since Emma de Groot also shot plus three with a composite 429 in 2011 at the SunTrust Gator Women's (216) and JMU Eagle Landing (213) Invites.
This is the third SoCon award of 2013 for the Mocs. Emily McLennan (Queensland, Australia) also earned Golfer of the Week honors on March 13. The team is preparing for the NCAA East Regional next Thursday through Saturday, May 9-11.GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs. The Mocs can also be followed on their official Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ChattanoogaMocs, or on Twitter, www.twitter.com/GoMocs.

Installing Nouveau on your Linux computer
There are two ways of installing Nouveau on your Linux computer. The most recommended way is to use your distribution-provided packages. If those are outdated or buggy, you may also recompile Nouveau from source.
Nouveau is incompatible with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. If you want to use Nouveau, you first need to remove the proprietary driver from your system.
Using your distribution's packages
The following information are provided to the best of our knowledge. Please seek help on your distribution's wiki if you have any problem installing or uninstalling Nouveau.
- ArchLinux
- Debian : Some more tips and a list of packages
- Exherbo
- Gentoo
- OpenSUSE
- Ubuntu : Some more tips are available
Compiling Nouveau from source
Instead of using the distribution-provided binaries, you can also recompile Nouveau yourself. There are several reasons to want to compile Nouveau from source, here are the most common ones:
- Testing the latest version on Nouveau;
- Bug fixing - checking if a bug in a stable version is still present in the development branches or testing a patch;
- Contributing code - Developers are expected to test and implement new code on the development branches.
Whatever your reason is, the development team thanks you for living on the edge. Please tell us as soon as possible when you encounter a bug!
Nouveau is split into 4 main parts:
- Nouveau DRM : The privileged part of Nouveau, running in the kernel;
- Libdrm : A library that wraps the DRM & Nouveau IOCTLs, it simplifies memory management and command submission;
- xf86-video-nouveau : The device-dependent part of X (DDX) for NVIDIA cards whose role is to provide 2D acceleration (EXA) and some simple video acceleration (XV);
- Mesa : It provides 3D, GPGPU and video acceleration to open source drivers. For more information, please read MesaDrivers.
The kernel modules required by Nouveau (
ttm.ko and
nouveau.ko) are built from a Linux kernel tree. You have several options on how to download the source code (subsections of Section 1) and how to compile it (subsections of Section 2). See also KernelModeSetting for important KMS notes. Please, read carefully.
The Nouveau kernel git repository is called
nouveau/linux-2.6 and contains one recommended branch:
master. The repository name contains "2.6" because we never bothered to rename it to "3": that would either break a lot of people's git configs or we would have two names for the same repository, for no benefit. It does contain the Linux 3.x versions.
You may not be able to compile the DRM modules against your current kernel, if it is too old (might need an -rc kernel or even Linus' git kernel). The possible errors include build failure and kernel modules that cannot be loaded. It is recommended to build your whole kernel from this branch (Section 2.1).
Since the DRM code is part of the kernel since 2.6.33, you can also use Linus' git kernel for Nouveau. However, the code in Linus' kernel will always be older than Nouveau's own git, and because there are no official Nouveau releases, you may encounter compatibility issues with user space parts (libdrm, DDX, Mesa).
This is a simplified tutorial. A more extensive tutorial is also available.
Getting the source code
You have multiple choices when it comes to downloading the source code:
- Get the full Nouveau kernel tree, with full history : Best for developers and people willing to bisect regressions;
- Get the full Nouveau kernel tree, without history: For continuous testers with a data cap on their internet plan;
- Get a snapshot: For occasional testers with an internet data cap (out-of-the-tree compilation only).
In order to download the full Nouveau kernel tree, please run the following command (un-comment --depth=1 if you don't want the full history):
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6 # --depth=1
If you only want to download a snapshot, please run the following commands:
$ wget http://people.freedesktop.org/~pq/nouveau-drm/master.tar.gz
$ tar xf master.tar.gz
Full kernel compilation
This method cannot be applied if you only downloaded a snapshot of Nouveau. Please download a complete version of the Nouveau tree.
The configuration and installation parts are distribution-dependent. You can find some instructions for ArchLinux, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu or Fedora.
Please make sure CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m, otherwise Nouveau won't be compiled in the kernel.
Out-of-the-tree compilation
The out-of-the-tree builds are mostly used by developers or testers who recompile their kernel often with some custom patches. The out-of-the-tree build will only recompile the DRM part of the kernel which should be orders of magnitude faster than a full kernel recompilation.
In order to use the out-of-the-tree compilation, please go to the directory containing the Nouveau tree or a snapshot of it. Please then run the following commands:
$ mkdir nouveau
$ cd nouveau
$ wget http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau/Makefile
$ make
Then, you should insmod all the drm modules that got compiled. It is also possible to install them but this isn't recommended.
WARNING: To use this technique, you will be required to be running at least the same major version of the kernel as one you want to compile out of the tree. If the kernel hasn't been released yet, please compile, install and reboot a kernel compiled from the full Nouveau tree before attempting again.
Run-time configuration
A list of the module parameters is available.
The following tutorial will help you compile and install Nouveau in a user directory. This will lower your chances of messing up your whole system. Each package's instructions assume that you have the proper header files installed. If you're on a Debian-based distro (including Ubuntu), you can run
apt-get build-dep mesa to make sure that this happens.
However, if you need to recompile xf86-video-nouveau and your distribution-provided libdrm isn't sufficient, you will need to set NVD to /usr and install libdrm, mesa and xf86-video-nouveau.
If you are not in this case, please source the following script (nouveau-env.sh) in every console where you need to do Nouveau development:
DEV_HOME=$HOME/nouveau/ # change this to another location if you prefer
NVD=$HOME/install # change this to another location if you prefer
ACLOCAL="aclocal -I $NVD/share/aclocal"
export DEV_HOME NVD LD_LIBRARY_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH ACLOCAL
Sourcing the file can be done by running command:
$ source nouveau-env.sh
Here are the commands to compile libdrm from git:
$ cd $DEV_HOME
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm
$ cd drm
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$NVD
$ make
$ make install
Let's now recompile Nouveau's X.org driver (DDX) from git:
$ cd $DEV_HOME
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau
$ cd xf86-video-nouveau
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$NVD
$ make
$ make install
You'll then need to tell the X-server where to look for nouveau_drv.so. To do so, please create a configuration file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-module-path.conf containing:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/same/path/as/NVD/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/"
WARNING: Please replace /same/path/as/NVD/ by the path you set for $NVD.
WARNING2: If you managed to break your graphical interface. You can revert back to the previous ddx by deleting 01-module-path.conf.
Mesa can be compiled by running the following commands:
$ cd $DEV_HOME
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
$ cd mesa
$ ./autogen.sh \
--prefix=$NVD \
--enable-texture-float \
--enable-gles1 \
--enable-gles2 \
--enable-glx \
--enable-egl \
--enable-gallium-egl \
--enable-gallium-llvm \
--enable-shared-glapi \
--enable-gbm \
--enable-glx-tls \
--enable-dri \
--enable-osmesa \
--with-egl-platforms=x11,drm \
--with-gallium-drivers=nouveau \
--with-dri-drivers=nouveau \
$ make
$ make install
LibVDPAU (optional, only useful for video decoding)
The libvdpau will look for libvdpau_nouveau.so in the same prefix as it was installed (regardless of LD_LIBRARY_PATH). We thus need to recompile libvdpau and install it to the same prefix as mesa in order for it to use the right libvdpau_nouveau.so.
$ cd $DEV_HOME
$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/libvdpau
$ cd libvdpau/
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$NVD
$ make
$ make install
Configuring the X server
When using Nouveau, the X-Server doesn't need configuration, the Nouveau driver should be loaded automatically. If it wasn't the case, you may want to try to force the X-server to load the Nouveau driver. To do so, please create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf and write the following:
Section "Device"
Identifier "n"
Driver "nouveau"
It is possible to give some options to the Nouveau DDX. Please have a look at our man page (man 4 nouveau). For more information, please follow the instructions found in the distribution-specific section.

Some people just don't appreciate their good fortune until it's too late.
Kirsten Dunst got what would have seemed to be the thrill of a lifetime when she kissed Brad Pitt in 1994's Interview with a Vampire, but she didn't enjoy it, according to Bullet.
"It was just a peck," she says of her kiss with the hunk back when she was 11.
"I remember Brad would watch lots of Real World episodes," she says. "He had this long hair. He was just a hippie- ish cool dude."
So was Brad a good kisser? Not according to Kirsten's younger self.
"Everyone at the time was like, 'You're so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,' but I thought it was disgusting," she says.
Then again, maybe she just wouldn't have been impressed by any guy at the time.
"I didn't kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think," Kirsten recalls. "I was a late bloomer."
In other words: Don't take it too personally, Brad.

CRESTVIEW — The Hub City's proximity to Eglin Air Force Base has somewhat insulted the real estate market from the recent recession, according to Dino Sinopoli, a Re/Max Agency One Realtor and former Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce president.
"In general trends, because of the Air Force base being here, we didn't drop as much as other areas (in the south county) that were all second homes and condo markets," he said. "We had real people, with real jobs, that weren't losing their jobs."
Click here for video of North Okaloosa County houses under construction.
The arrival of 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) soldiers and Eglin 33rd Fighter Wing airmen, along with their families and support staff, was a boon to area home rentals and sales.
At first, local agents barely kept up with the demand for rental homes, which has since leveled off, Sinopoli said.

"People just don't disappear," Robby Spierer said at a news conference about the search for his 20-year-old daughter Lauren, who vanished in the early morning hours of June 3, 2011.
Unfortunately, Robby is wrong. Young woman, girls, go missing every day, all over the world. And what we Americans don't like to see is that young women and girls get abducted and forced into sex slavery here in the United States of America all the time. Amy Fine Collins wrote an amazing column about sex trafficking in the online version of Vanity Fair on May 24, 2011. For the women in this story, things mostly turn out OK. They have been rescued. The nightmare they endured is over.
But these particular words from the article haunt me: "Caught in the vice unit's net was a fragile, ghostly, almost child-like blonde. Barely five feet tall and scarcely 90 pounds . . .." That could describe Lauren: blond, barely five feet tall, scarcely 90 pounds. I am not positing that a pimp abducted Lauren and has turned her into a sex slave. I'm only calling attention to the fact that girls do go missing, girls just like Lauren. (Here's the Vanity Fair article. Read it! http://vnty.fr/mSNleY)
As a mom—as a mom who knew Lauren Spierer when she was a child—I have been caught up in the "search," but from afar. I blog; I tweet; I talk to my daughter, who was best friends in elementary school with Lauren's older sister. Compared to those on the ground in Indianapolis, what I do barely crosses the threshold of nothing. There are people who put on hiking clothing everyday to search ravines and woods. Law enforcement agents sift through tips. Through this all the Spierer family has been resolute and dignified, eloquent.
Those in the Bloomington community have come to regard Lauren as one of their own, which she is. For them, even the hundreds who do not know her, finding Lauren has become a mission. And then there are the thousands and thousands who are following the blogs and Twitter feed. "What's pulling them in," I wonder. The wünderkind New York Times reporter Brian Stelter (twitter handle: @brianstelter) made an important observation in article on the Casey Antony case that the public suffers from a lurid fascination with tot killers. (http://nyti.ms/jP5VRO) To the list of what grabs an audience I would add "attractive young women who disappear into thin air."
Still, all those people out there who have been tweeting and retweeting Lauren's information are playing a vital role—because somebody out there knows where she is. Today we call it "crowd-sourcing." It was through twitter "crowd-sourcing" that NPR reporter Andy Carvin (twitter handle: @acarvin. Follow him) was able to debunk the rumor that Israel was providing bombs to Libya. In 2004 New Yorker writer James Surowiecki called this phenomenon "the wisdom of crowds. This time we hope the crowd will be able to find Lauren. True, Robby was wrong: young women disappear all the time. But Lauren's mom, Charlene, was right when she admonished: "Shame on you, shame on you" to anyone who knows something and has not come forward. No matter what you did or saw, the more time that goes by, the worse it will be for you. The more time that goes by, the worse it becomes for Lauren's family. Be a human being. Say what you know.
Before I list a few things that Baby Boomers might want to think about, here are some important resources.
A woman in Indiana, who I'm not sure wants to be named, has been running a blog and twitter feed. Here's some important information.
1. Twitter feed: @NewsOnLaurenS.
2. To find out how you can help online:
3. For people in Bloomington, to help organize volunteers who want to search: http://newsonlaurens.blogspot.com/2011/06/will-you-become-find-lauren-search.html
4. To remind others of the tip line and the reward. "Any information would be most helpful."
Malorie Janasek, who is young and hip and beautiful and an IU graduate, has a younger, hipper, more beautiful blog on her site: http://maloriejanasek.com. Read her. Follow her on Twitter at @maloriejanasek.
For a video of the press conference, see http://bit.ly/miCAlk, from Fox News Insider.
Takeaways for Baby Boomers:
- Keep track. Sometimes the best way to stay close is to pull back and let our children have "their space." But we need to figure out how to know their friends, their habits. Can we somehow be in their lives without being annoying? Suggestions here? (And I am in no way imputing that Robert and Charlene did anything they shouldn't have or neglected to do something. As I wrote in a previous post, they are about the best people you'd ever want to mee.)
- Do something about young people's alcohol consumption. Bad things happen to young people when they are very drunk. But young people drink, and, it seems to me, there's not much parents or even colleges can do to stop this. But any ideas? Are there ways for high schools and colleges to get involved without alienating their students? I remember my daughter had to complete an online course on alcohol before she started college. She made fun of it. But, I consider myself fortunate here, she doesn't hold her liquor well and prefers being sober to being sick.
- Rally for better safety surveillance. Yeah, this is going to go over big in a country that daily becomes more concerned about Big Brother and Big Government, whether it is healthcare or security cameras. Students won't want to be watched, but more security guards and cameras might be the ticket.
Please leave your comments. I understand that since I moved the blog from Blogher to my own website, I've become impossible to find unless one knows the name of my blog. In other words, when one searches Google for "baby boomers," I'm on, like, page 10. The more comments on the blog, the better the search engine optimization. I'm not saying I don't love the emails and Facebook comments. I do! Keep those up too. You can all be my Facebook friends: friend me at www.facebook.com/linda.bernstein; like my page at www.facebook.com/lindabernsteinphd.

David Hall: The 1929-S is the last of the early, i.e. 1916 to 1929, Walking Liberty half dollars. Like all the early date Walkers this issue wasn't saved in any meaningful quantity at the time of issue. Mint state survivors are scarce and Gems are very scarce. The typical 1929-S has somewhat subdued luster. Strike is not the problem you see in the later S-Mints but sharply struck specimens are the exception as most have a little softness in the central devices.

Unchecked and Unbalanced: How the Discrepancy Between Knowledge and Power Caused the Financial Crisis and Threatens Democracy (Hoover Studies in Politics, Economics, and Society)

ISBN 144220124XIn Unchecked and Unbalanced, Arnold Kling provides a blueprint for those who are skeptical of political and financial elitism. At the heart of Kling's argument is the growing discrepancy between two phenomena: knowledge is becoming more diffuse, while political power is becoming more concentrated. Kling sees this knowledge/power discrepancy at the heart of the financial crisis of 2008. Financial industry executives and regulatory officials lacked the ability to fathom the complexity of the system that had emerged.

Great Place to Celebrate Birthdays
We celebrated our daughter's first birthday at Bingo on the 28th Sept. We had close to 250 guests. Like to share our experience that Bingo is a great place to celebrate birthdays as it has all the infrastructure in place to make your day a great one. Right from planning to the entire management and execution was great. All guests liked the ambiance and how the crowd was managed during dining time. Mr Gowdesh helped in the entire planning and also guided us on Menu and events. Everything was setup on time and all went as planned. The food was great and we experienced great service during the entire event. I strongly recommend Bingo to any parents who want to celebrate their children's birthday.
Thank you Mr Gowdesh, Ms Soumya and all the staff of Bingo for making it a great evening for us !!!

Good Place To Party
Organized a birthday party in July 2013 for my son and what an experience it was. Right from the manager Mr Gowdesh to support staff Akshay, everyone was very courteous, professional and helpful. The food was good and so was the ambience. The kids play area was very handy and took care of the kids while adults enjoyed the evening. Very spacious hall, nice location with ample parking space inside the Tech park, I would recommend this to everyone planning to organize a party for 50-60 people.
Thanks a lot Gowdesh and Akshay - Very good service. Please keep it up.

Bingo restaurant located inside Tech Park is a joy to our eyes and stomach. It has old gadgets stuck to the wall. Attractive play area for kids. It has an outdoor arrangement too with beautiful lanterns and birds nests hanging. And Projector screen
I Hosted a Birthday Party. It was a special celebration for our family and friends because we selected this place. It was joy to see couples and children play games, like Hair Coloring , jumping castle, and carry catcher and Tattoo was extraordinary , dancing to the music etc.
Food was also too yummy and quality is also above our expectation.Cake they take care they order from Daily bread was so tasty that I would suggest this restaurant for Parties. Decoration was awesome. I would like to tell about the staff. They are very humble, do good service, take any suggestions sportively.

Sir if you are seeing people complaining about the restaurant. Same time there were guest telling good about the restaurant and food as well. Our restaurant believes in Healthy and Hygienic food.
Anyways sir we will work on the points which ever you have told us.
With regards to the latest review by "sethumaa"
Yes things need to be improvised instead of being politely aplogetic and never check on corrections.
One more question I had seen few reviewers for the first time givng a good rating ??
Only one time review - and never again #$%^&
Isnt that fishy
To be in the list are
1.) "sannjju" and
2.)"vamika2011" and
3.)"kandulapavan" and
4.) "Saurabh Sharma" and
5.)"vijay12286" and
6.)"sangeetha.k.m" and
8.)"eatforever" and
9.)"ssquare" and so on.. the list continues ..
so out of the 22 reviews till date - 9 reviewers in burrp are one time reviewers and they never ever reviewed any place any time :P

Bad taste
We had planned an official lunch at Bingo with some foreign clients.
Its ideally located in middle of many companies. We walked in and were pleasantly greeted.
We were served with two starters i.e., some tandoori with some veg rolls., Chicken was marinated with deep red colored thingy and was not cooked.
We were later later severed with some rolls that were soaked in oil.
We went to the main course and grabbed some delicacies. They appeared great but all tasted blunt ., We later found that a piece of meat contained hair and brickbat. We called up a lady and pointed this. she immediately removed our plate.
She did not even apologize for this.
This left our clients a bitter taste of our country's cuisine.
I have seen many people complaining the same about this restaurant and the restaurant co coordinator apologizing.
But they never seem to improve on the quality of food.
I will never visit this place again.

Since we don't use artificial colors and heavy spices in our food, you might have felt little bland. The only reason we do becau

Good experience
For my parent's anniversary, we (family) decided to explore new restaurant, due to weekday, office timings and traffic we decided on Bingo which is nearby to our home. For safety I booked the table in advance, but to our surprise, restaurant was almost empty (may be because of Monday & it is in Prestige IT park), so we got place by our choice, got a welcome drink (lemon juice) some of my family members did not liked it as it was very cold, and too much lemon syrup. We placed the order for soup (hot n sour & cream of tomato) and starters (baby corn chilly, gobi manchurian, hara bhara kabab), after having one bite of it, we were very much disappointed as it was not warm, food quality was good but it was cold... So while placing order for main course (Egg biryani, veg hakka noodles, veg kadai, dum aloo banarasi & bread basket) we instructed captain to server hot food, Food quality was good, rotis were nice and crispy... my daughter was very happy to see kids section, yes they have one room with full of toys and other games, kids will be very happy.... rates are quite reasonable... Would love to try their buffet (which is quite expensive 375 on fri + taxes )

Nice location, staff and excellent food
Recently hosted a birthday party at Bingo and the experience was wonderful right from the day I booked the place. The staff was cordial and the manager was responsive to my requirements. The restaurant staff to took care of everything right from decoration,food and games. The function was nice and everyone, especially the kids, enjoyed the evening, The ambience is very good with a lot of space. There is an additional kids play area with toys, which the kids liked alot. The food was good especially the chicken recipes and paneer recipes.
BIngo is a nice place for a gathering and the location and ample car parking adds to the convenience.

Poor Buffet
We went for a buffet once. It was really pathetic. Food was not up to the mark. If customers are coming in then at least they should have the courtesy to provide food. The containers were always empty. Even though we went hundred times and asked them to refill it, they were not. God only knows what was the problem. Horrible experience.

Party Spoiled !
Can someone guess - where else a group of around 10 families (with around 22 adults 6 kids) go and spoil a New Year cum Birthday party !! Bingooo You are RIGHT !!
We had a horrible experience for buffet at Bingo on night of 1st Jan, 2013. Not only the service was poor a lot of items in the Buffet Menu which were committed to us - were NOT even served and there were huge delays in serving many other dishes !!.
Being near to my company where in work and even close to my home (and also reading some good reviews) I had invited my relatives and my family friends for the dinner buffet. Initially we had spoken to Mr. Gowdesh Patil who then redirected us to the chef Mr Esatullah. Though we initially insisted on Ala Carte he diverted us to a buffet system (citing the benefits we would get like inlimited dishes/not to worry about adding extra orders during meals) and since we were all Vegetarians he offered us some discounts (though marginal) which made us believe that we were better off with buffet system. I paid an advance to Rs 3000/- in cash and got receipt.
However when we arrived there no buffet was arranged and they told they will serve us on the table directly ! (and that was the trick they played which we could not understand at that time because initially we felt good that we were served directly on table instead of going to buffet to pick the dishes ourselves). And thats where all the party started getting spoiled !! They stopped serving soups after 12 people !! and the starters were served at such a slow rate that eventually many people stopped waiting for starters and asked for main course directly. In the main course they limited the Assorted Indian Breads to just 3 baskets of Tandoori Rotis and one basket of Naan. We had to ask for each item minimum 5 to 10 times to get it served for example due to huge delays in Rotis I asked for Rice which I got after 10 mins, and then I had to wait for 15 mins to get raitha and to add to it pappad arrived when I had finished my rice (which then I declined to take). There were many such individual stories which if I start to write it will end up somewhere else altogether !!.
Anyways the nightmare doesnt end here. I had fixed a minimum of 30 pax however many of them didnt turn up. I had hoped they will bill us on actuals but they didnt (anyways I was prepared for that also). So when I handed over my card he insisted that I need to pay the balance also in-cash only as it is year end and they needed cash ! When I informed that I didnt bring so much in cash they asked me to withdraw from ATM and come back to pay ! Frustrated and not willing to wait anymore there I borrowed cash from my relatives and paid the rest in cash. And thats when I thought I will write a strong feedback about the poor service here itself! After I wrote it and Mr Esatullah read it he said to me that he can compensate for the bad service by giving a parcel of 10 gulab jamuns and giving back 500 in cash as special discount !! WHAT A JOKE !!! I just left the place and said that when I get to that condition (i.e. when I will start needing cashback(s) of Rs 500/- ) I will surely GET BACK !!
I got a chance to record the conversation with Mr Esatullah where he has confirmed the bad service and many items in menu not being served feel free to ask me for same.

....and it was an awesome event.....
Finally the Party is over and the it felt really great to see after all the searching for a good venue, menu, decorators, etc ...etc... that it all culminated into a really happy and pleasant experience. The service was exceptional, the food was yummy and the management and staff ever ready to go that extra mile to make the experience pleasant and good. All our guest were not just happy with the ambiance but also loved the food. Unlike other places where the guys just want to wind up and end the party these guys were extremely patient and even happy to provide hot rotis way after the closing time. We had a lovely time, a BIG THANKS to all the staff & Management.

Horrible Buffet Lunch
Just came back from lunch at Bingo. We were a team of 22 and had gone for the lunch buffet they offered. First of all, when we entered there was hardly any food on the counter. All the dishes were already empty at 1 PM!! After much wait, they started to refill slowly. But if there was soup, there was no starters; if there was curry there was no roti; if there was dessert there were no bowls; I could just go on and on with all the short-comings. The service was pathetic and totally mismanaged.
And I have not even started the worst part of the experience yet! The quality of food was terrible. Not even one dish was good. All the items, both veg & non-veg, was extremely mediocre. Either too much salt or no sugar or sour milk or under-cooked vegetables or just no taste. What is the point in having an elaborate spread if the food tastes so bad.
Since everybody in my team were extremely disappointed, we decided to talk to the manager and tell him our experience but they said he was not available. Then, we had to persuade them to get us to talk to someone atleast who is incharge. I think it was supervisor who came later but he just kept nodding for what ever we complained. The worst part is two of my colleagues have already fallen sick in 3 hours. Not sure how many more will be affected by the horrible food!!!
We are never ever again going to Bingo again. I am really surprised how it has got 4 stars on Burrp.

A memorable event
As our daughter's first birthday is approaching, we have started to research on couple of restaurants around ITPL and Marathahlli area. There were few restaurants shortlisted and we were almost finalized one restaurant. There were reasons to be skeptical on its selection since they were unwilling for prices negotiation. Besides, the party hall ambience looked sloppy.
This triggered for a fresh exploration. This was done on a Monday and birthday was falling on following Friday. The new hunting has landed into Bingo, at
ORR Marathahalli. Immediately made a call to Mr. Gowdesh Patil and he had arranged a meeting with his manager on same day evening.
We where overwhelmed by their reception and courtesy of Mr. Sunil Kumar, their Manager. He was very approachable and was helpful on deciding the menu and the other party related arrangements. We have fixed the price (Dont ask me, but the best I can get in town) for the buffet and the venue. I was bit skeptical about the party area since the table, chair and other objects were cluttered.
Next day I had paid the visit again to finalize the booking. This time I had experienced Mr. Gowdesh Patil's gesture.
As I mentioned earlier, the cost is the best I can get in town for the menu we had agreed upon. To my surprise, Gowdesh has even come forward with the suggestion on few more items in the menu for the same cost. Without having much hesitation, I had immediately made the booking and felt the relief of choosing the right venue. I had mentioned him about the straggling arrangement in the party area and he had assured its good state by Thursday.
On Thursday evening, when I visited to review the arrangement, it was in the same condition and was little upset on it. Once I shared the same with Gowdesh, he had assured it will look better by before noon of the party day.
Now the party day has arrived. The arrangement were done beyond our expectation. The decoration was performed by their known person and it was on an extra cost. It was on an open area and we were worried about the rain. We were lucky that it didn't arrive to spoil the party. We had fixed the cake cutting around 7 pm. Even by 8pm, only 25% of guests had arrived. Meanwhile, my daughter was showing sign to sleep. Without giving her much chance to yawn, we cut the cake by 8:15 pm.
Now comes the party gathering and dinner. Menu consists of both Veg & Non Veg items. There were welcome drinks. Starters consist of Chilly Gobi and Malai Kabab. For vegetarians Paneer Gobi & Aloo Adarak were offered whereas for non-vegetarians, it was with Gongura Chicken & Bhuna Ghost. It was surrounded by Chats and Salads. Yummy rotis, tasty rice and delicious curries. Main course was followed by desserts which consist of Vanilla ice cream and Gulab jam.
Each & every guest has a good word to say about the party. It was a great ambience; food and the courtesy provided by the staffs around were exceptional. Family members & kids loved it. Mr Gowdesh Patil and Sunil Kumar were very much around to help us.
So, the final word is: If you stay around East Bangalore (Or for anyone in Bangalore, as long as their guest can arrive around ORR Marathalli), this is best place to host a party. It matches everything you just imagine for. It is located in ORR; so easy to reach, enough number of parking slot, nice ambience and last but not least, the budget.
Final word - Don't take my words, please go ahead and arrange your next party there. Don't even wait for an occasion to happen; just find an excuse to host a party :)

Didn't Like it....
We had team outing (17 folks) at Bingo today. Due to high head count we opted for Executive Buffet Lunch instead of a la carte. I recommended Bingo Restaurant to my team based on very good reviews so far and convenient in terms of logistics but frankly i didn't like it at all. None of the Buffet items were as good as expected. There was hardly any item which we tasted good except Vanilla Ice Cream & JaalJeera (without Bondhi). It was really a mood spoiler and a colleague shared instant feedback to Chef.
Despite having a reservation we had to wait for good 20+ mins. As far as service is concerned the servers were inattentive & we had to catch their attention many times for things like water, Indian breads e.t.c. Some of the items were empty & we had to ask them for a refill resulting in people queing up.

Dear Mr. Surya,
i would like to apologize for the unsatisfactory service rendered by my Team. I have made not of your feedback and the same has been shared with the Concerned person to ensure that it doesn't repeat in future. I am extremely sorry once again for the inconvenience and the embarrassment caused due to us. Kindly consider this as one of the exceptional incident and not the true service of our restaurant. I would request you to give us one more chance.

Few Blunders that gives us a negative opinion.
Been to this last friday evening for the Dinner buffet with my family of 4 people..
Stepped in with loads of hesitation and dilema about the food and rest all things in mind (ambience, service..)
1. Food:-Since it was a dinner buffet we had options to choose from,
we were served soup and starters -
We clearly said the waiter that 2 were vegetarian and 2 were non vegetarian.When they served the aloo chilly and chicken starters it went well n they tasted good.
Now comes the true blunder from the team BINGO - the waiter served us gobi manchuria and the moment we tasted it we were shocked to know its chicken manchurian. ???
How on earth can one make such a blunder ??
Amongst the soup they just had one - lemon coriander soup. No other option to choose from.
Rotia and butter naan - were served on the table n they tasted really yummy,butterchicken and fish curry tasted well.Mutton biryani wasnt that great :(
And I notice another major mistake here - when we walk through there were no labels for few dishes ??
Do they expect me to guess them ?
2. Ambience - Is pretty descent can be improvised.
3. Service - Is up to the mark as they have one guy catering your needs.
4. value for money -Felt its expensive as per the taste and variety they had in the menu. As there was nothing specific or noteworthy in the vegetarian food.
5. Last but not the least - can improvise much on menu that might pull crowds
On the whole felt good (was still skeptical about to give it a second visit)to be here for a try.

Dear Mr. Kranthi,
At the outset I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused from our end.
Your feed back regarding the service and the Buffet tags has been taken up with the concerned member of my team and would like to assure that this will not recur in future. It is objective feed back from valuable guests like you who highlight the areas where we need to improve and tighten our existing processes to ensure our guests have a comfortable and delightful meal experience with us every time.
We would reques
Delightful Experience..
Had taken my friends for a b'day meetup and BINGO did not disappoint me for sure. Ambience,Food,Service,Rates- all were perfect to the dot. Total value for Money.Highly recommended if anyone's looking for arranging a team gathering. The one and only downside(If i had to tell one ;-) ) I found was, they did not offer hand bowls after the meal, and we had to use the restroom wash area to clean our hands.

Description: "Brrrrr! Wintertime is here and there's snow on the ground. This friendly snowman will keep you company on your iGoogle homepage as the day goes by."
How it looks like:
How to get it: the theme is no longer available from iGoogle's interface, but you can still add it to one of your tabs. Copy this JavaScript code:

Unique Challenges When Commercializing Specialty Drugs & How to Mitigate Risk
Sarah S (Nov 12, 2014)
It is understandable that drug companies wish to extend the use of a product they spent considerable time and money developing. Similarly, patients who have been unable to find answers to their medical issues can hardly be blamed for championing off-label use of a medication to help alleviate a problem.
Opening up a drug to uses other than the one explicitly stated on its label, however, brings significant challenges. Regulators must ensure that drug manufacturers aren't pushing product or advertising it in misleading or untruthful ways. Medical affairs departments and physicians must remain compliant but still do their utmost to help patients.

Google tries to change Google Image Search interface, by adapting Windows Live's clean interface.

5-inch 1080p, 440ppi Android phones coming to the U.S., blowing past iPhone 5 Retina display
HTC is showing off the Verizon Droid DNA today at the special event in New York City, and the big news -- the HUGE news -- is the size and density of their display: a 5-inch fully 1920x1080p at a positively pornographic 440ppi. HTC has always loved pushing the envelop when it comes to specs, and this is obviously no exception. Back when Apple launched the iPhone 4 with Retina display, its 960x640 at 326ppi screen was well beyond anything else on the market, and it stayed that way for a long time. Even with the iPhone 5's 1136x640, still 326ppi screen, HTC is now far, far ahead.
If Apple wants to once again take the screen density crown, and keep app compatibility the same way they did when they went to @2x pixel-doubled Retina, they'd have to switch to @4X pixel-quadrupled super-Retina. That'd be 2272x1280, and unless they increase the physical size of the display, an even more ludicrous 652ppi.
Powering a display that big for any length of time is non trivial as well. The iPad 4's 2048x1536, 264 ppi Retina display required an increase in thickness and weight and a battery that wouldn't be out of place on a laptop. The iPad mini couldn't be made with Retina display.
Here's what those displays do and would look like, both in terms of pixel count and density and physical scale (44x44 pixel grid overlay). From left to right, iPhone 5 (purple), Droid DNA (green), iPad 4 (blue), theoretical iPhone @4x (red).
HTC is using a 2020 mAH battery to power the 141 x 70.5 x 9.73 mm, 138 grams Droid DNA. Apple, by contrast, is using a 1440 mAH battery, for 123.8 mm x 58.6 mm x 7.6 mm, 112 gram iPhone 5. However, the Droid DNA is using the same processor as the Nexus 4, a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 APQ8064 and MDM9615m, despite pushing 1920x1080 rather than 1280x768. It'll be interesting to see what that does for performance, since Apple's Retina devices always seem to take a performance hit for the first generation, and that's usually with all new (Apple A4) or beefed up (Apple A5X) processors.
Apple's priorities seem to be on making thinner, lighter, better devices, not bigger or denser ones, so this might well be a battle Apple is happy to sit out. Arguably, any increase in density beyond 300 ppi is lost on most human eyes anyway. Just like cameras, where better sensors are a smarter play than more megapixels, we might be hitting diminishing returns when it comes to displays.
Still, for people who want the biggest, densest phone screens possible, with the HTC Droid DNA on Verizon, there's a new monolith in town.
Mobile Nations' Phil Nickinson was at the Verizon event today, make sure you check out his full HTC Droid DNA hands-on.

5-inch 1080p, 440ppi Android phones coming to the U.S., blowing past iPhone 5 Retina display
It just highlight the stupidity of the Spex Wars on andrOS, where manufacturer are killing each other with specs... this is end of the life cycle of many previously hyped androphones like GS III... now Samskunk have to come with something better to stay at the top of the food chain... and so on...its a looser game ... too bad for any andro-producer... as they can't get their's investments back... too bad for any andro-user.... if he bought one before the NEWEST arrival .. so he only could enjoy the hype for sometimes just a few days.... that's why APPLE chose not to participate in Spex WARS... DUDES
How is this the end of the S3? The S3 is still the phone to get if you want a phone with a Micro SD Card, Removable battery, and decently fast updates. Every Flagship Android Phone has something to offer over its competition (even the iPhone). The S3 for reasons I said, the One X because its the best phone on the Market for $100 on contract, the Note for being huge, and this for being the phone with the best display. Its about choices.
I'm an Appple fan, but what's up with the DUDE all the time and broken English. You make us apple people look like uneducated idiots
I think this will basically pull up the "our specs are better" fight that will try to make Apple seem ancient going forward, even though pushing that sort of resolution for the MAJORITY of the people on this planet makes no sense. Honestly I still believe 1080p is overkill for a large part of the population. It's still barely noticeable unless you have a significantly larger tv (over 50ish inches) and sit much closer to the TV. Hell, I just watched a SD movie on my 47" TV a about 12' and while it wasn't as clear as something in HD, but it's still more than acceptable. Moving to 720p/1080p, it would be hard to tell the difference at any significant distance.
There is a significant difference between 720p and 1080p all of the time. It doesn't just kick in when you have a larger TV. I sell TVs large and small and it is easy to tell the difference between a 720p picture and a 1080p picture. It is far from overkill.
It ONLY matters when you are at a specific distance from the TV. Someone buying a 42" TV for their living room, when they are 10+ feet away would not need a 1080p set. The eyes aren't able to perceive the difference.
Now I am not discussing compression. But if you took a blu ray 1080p disc on a 720p and 10800 equivalent tv at beyond the distance in the chart I've included, the distance ISN'T noticable. Anyone who says it is apparently is trying to just sell TVs.
Most people sit at LEAST 8-10' from their tv. At that point, the only important thing is the quality of the panel ( contrast, color, refresh, etc).
For the majority of the population you could swap out 1080p sets and toss in a 720p of equal quality and the difference would be only mildly perceptible. It's not just a theory.
If you cant tell the difference its only because 720p and 1080p are both shit resolutions. If you had a 4k tv I promise that you would be able to see the difference.
If it was a 40ish", I'm sure then picture would LOOK nicer, lots nicer, but the extra detail would still be lost at the varying distances noted above.
The whole thing with 4k is putting it into gargantuan 80+" TVs, where at any point you sit, it'll look amazing.
But the most commonly sold TV sized right now are still 50" and under. Maybe 5 years from now, 4k will be in our price range and it might be worth upgrading to, but I think 1080p is going to be around for a while still, especially if we are just NOW getting HD streaming as the norm, and even then bandwidth caps are killing people who want to watch a few shows here and there.
Trust me I like 4k, I think it's the future, but it has to be incredibly competitive with its pricing, as people are now buying other tech like tablets and such which reduces their spending for TVs and such.
Anyway, there's no doubt an 85" 4k TV would blow the ass off of Kim kardashian, but it wouldn't make sense to start selling 40ish" TVs at that resolution unless you're using it as a computer monitor, or live somewhere with a minute room that puts a TV 6' in front of you.
I didnt think so and I own the rMBP, retina iPad, and iPhone 4s (soon to be iPhone 5 since Verizon announced us mere employees could order it) anyways I had a chance to look at this impressive DNA and I have to say I dont care who you are one can easily see almost 25% more pixels on a display. Is it a huge jump over the iPhone? Why yes it kind of is. It almost looked like a sticker at first it really was impressive. It also didn't feel that it took a huge hit on performance but then again we havent given the new Snapdragon S4 a run yet so we will see. However the iPhone 5 (and even 4s) was much smoother, but then again iOS always has been.
Anyways I thought I would share what I saw. It is a nice phone and very thin and light and I congratulate HTC on this device. Not to mention Verizon just announced an employee edition for $99. Does that mean I will pick one up and back to the Android camp? Well, no. I have to say it was much too big for my liking and I like a smaller phone, a little bigger tablet (although the Mini is nice just wish it had the better display), and smaller(isn) laptop. I'm happy with the displays on Apple's current lineup and although it looks nice I would rather have the great ppi and better performance from the iPhone 5 than this DNA.
precisely! The human Eye can't!
What good does that resolution screen do other than a) require bigger images meaning fatter apps b) eats more battery, RAM and CPU cycles? This is clearly a feature that doesn't solve a problem unless bionic eyes are on the horizon.
Let me get this straight. The human eye will not be able to tell the difference and yet there is a need for Apple to go there because another manufacturer wants their amps to go up 11. Makes perfect sense to abandon an operating model and rush in to this without thinking.
Did u read the article? Read the second to last paragraph dude.
"Apple's priorities seem to be on making thinner, lighter, BETTER devices, not bigger or denser ones, so this might well be a battle Apple is happy to sit out."
Why did you find it necessary to include the subjective word, "better," in that otherwise objective list of Apple's engineering priorities?
Oh, wait, I know why... derp.
" 5-inch fully 1920x1080p at a positively pornographic 440ppi"
So, we've discovered what the primary use for all of these big screens is for?
"Positively pornographic 440ppi"
I agree with this proper use :))
Lmao! :-)
I'm sorry, but I honestly believe even just super HD porn is unnecessary. Most people, even porn stars, are at from perfect. And imperfections in those special areas are so astronomically horrific that they should be seen by no one.
Bite your tongue.......I have NO imperfections!
this article's assessment is silly. the fact that its a full 1080p display, with the power to back it up, and only 5 inchs is amazing, but acting like this is a threat to apple is dumb. at this point people are locked into apple's or google's eco system and no one can deny apple makes great hardware. (although since jobs died seems products are more rushed) people on android have a lot of competition, this will be a big winner. i will say this though, the battery and storage are a concern.
I don't need a ridiculous about of PPI on a small device. What I need is 4K resolution across a large display. The limitations of 1920 x 1080 are becoming more and more apparent.
Most phone now adays have higher resolution and ppi than the i5. Lumia 920, GSIII, 8X, now this.
Your wrong they do not have higher PPI than the retina display. Higher overall resolution? Yes, but not higher PPI. The only phone that previously had more was the HTC rezound I believe ..
It's all well and good to keep increasing size to get the specs into the phone that you want. But point of fact is, many of us would prefer a smaller device while continually increasing performance and usability. Apple recognizes this. Better to keep a mobile computing device mobile and then pair it with a tablet if needed, rather than making your mobile device approach tablet like proportions, essentially losing the "mobile" moniker in the meantime.
I wouldn't argue against it too much Rene. Your super retina is where Apple is headed with the iphone 6 hopefully now that the move to 16:9 is done. No doubt the quality is better. It remains to be seen how it will look in comparison. I imagine this is when Apple can freely increase size without worry of losing "retina."
It would be surprising to see HTC accomplish this without a performance hit with android. It's probably lag city.
No I actually disagree on Apple ever making a 1080p screen, or that this DNA is a spectacular product. http://modernprodigy.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
I'm amazed by the size and density. But I really hope apple sits this out. I don't want a phablet. I don't want a phone I can't EASILY hold and use with one hand. HTC screens a beautiful I just wish the rest of the phone was as good as the screen in all cases. I want a phone that just works with a lot of apps so apple please stay focused on that fight.
I'd guess Apple finally makes more than one version when they hit super retina. You'll still have your 4" iphone. But unless they double the res, they're stuck at that size. At least it's at a better aspect ratio for increasing size now.
But just as we have ipad mini that reaches down, we'll see a big iphone eventually that reaches across and tries to appeal to the bigger screen crowd. They have no choice. The iphone is their most important product.
Doesn't matter how high res the display is if there's still crappy software running on it.
I'm sure the S4 Pro can handle this pretty easily. The problem is battery life. I dont see this phone having the battery life of the S3 or Note 2.
Not crappy, for sure, but smooth as silk? Really? Pretty raw silk on my Nexus 7, even with its quad core. Android has indeed come a long way, but has a ways to go.
We are definitely NOT hitting diminishing returns when it comes to displays, maybe mobile displays yeah but nowhere near on computer and larger displays. I thought by now we'd start seeing "Retina" displays coming our way, it's been two years since the iPhone 4 has been out (actually two-years and a half) and we're still nowhere near that.
Retina on a larger display would be a dream come true. It's apparently already cheap to make on a variety of small devices to large tablets, so why can't they push the envelope and push it in the right way, make retina display LCD (or LED for that matter) computer displays?
I would love the option for a screen bigger than 4in. One handed use is irrelevant to me as I use my current phone 2 hands regardless, unless I'm swiping through screens. If I could have the G Note 2 running iOS, I'd have it made in the shade!
Added diagrams, and something on the processor. The Droid DNA has the same proc as the Nexus 4, but it's running 1080p rather than 720p. Be interesting to see how the performance works out.
first of all HTC has no problem pushing the envelope with things like LTE or 1080P screens but that is because they have no problem with releasing a product with a crap design and crap battery life. 440ppi or 320ppi what do I care if my eye can't perceive a difference anyway? If HTC cared about battery life I am sure they would not be releasing this product but instead it will be terrible and even so no one will care in the press because they will all be focusing on apple leaving a screw exposed on the bottom of their phone and how hideous it looks
If the eyes can't tell the difference then why are all of the early reviews raving about how beautiful the display is? Shouldn't they be saying "Sure it's big but it looks no better than the iPhone."
Retina is marketing jargon folks. Your eyes will very likely be able to tell the difference in quality regardless of what Apple tells you. I can't wait to check for myself in person to find out how it compares to my S3 and my work iPhone5.
I heard Rene say many times that the reason the ipad mini doesn't have a retina display is because it would increase the size and cost. But I have to disagree, over the past week I have gone to local stores to see the seven inch competition to the mini and they have far better screen resolution yet still have thin form factors and reasonable prices. It's sad but apple is trying to keep people looking forward to they're future products by withholding features that arguably are here now. Just look at the nook hd, nexus 10 and those displays. I guess im still peeved about apples choice to leave out the retina on the mini. Its a step backwards for apple to shrink an ipad 2. Btw I really enjoy the imore podcasts.
440 ppi doesn't make the screen better. The whole idea over the retina display is that you will not be able to see the pixels at the normal distance. So I believe the Droid DNA is and the iPhone 5 are pretty much the same. And there will be more repercussions with the display on the DNA. http://modernprodigy.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html will give you more info.
Tell that to the people who compared it to 720p screens like the One X and said it looked better. This screen is better then the iPhone 5, and if you doubt that you are an idiot. With that said, the superior screen on the DNA doesnt necessarily make it better then the iPhone 5. But don't talk as if you KNOW there will be other problems on the device, because YOU haven't used it yet.
Anyway, the fact they could get such amazing hardware at the same price as the iPhone and S3 is amazing to me though.
That is because you are simple minded. Comparing a 720p screen to the One X is ridiculous. The One X has a high resolution display, similar to the DNA, and comparing it to something not retina doesn't count (well, maybe depends on the screen). But, since you can look at a Retina Display screen and not see the pixels, in theory, It'll make no difference. And I have had time to look at it seems my claims have been almost right. The screen is a little bulky, but not bulky to complain about. And the one I tried was slow, compared to other phones, and I didn't have a good experience.
Unless HTC can make a use case for 440 DPI, this smells like differentiation desperation. 5 inches okay -- and I'd even have a use for 2560x1440 output, when eventually available -- but I'd rather have longer battery life or faster speed (always a good thing on Android) than the densest display on my block.
This is amazing... when Apple has a feature or capability other devices don't have the Apple fans use that fact to proclaim that Apple device is the best thing ever!
Then when another device has something the Apple device doesn't have... the Apple fans proclaim "WELL WHO NEEDS THAT FEATURE ANYWAYS??? THAT'S JUST SILLY!"
LOL *rolleyes*
Haha, that's a good one, and I would agree with you.
