Save the Music Foundation visits area schools
MILTON -- An official from VH1 Save the Music Foundation visited middle schools in Mason and Cabell counties Friday to see the need they have for new instruments.
Rob Davidson, the director of Programs and Policy for the foundation, was joined by Cabell County native Randall Reid-Smith, who is the commissioner of the West Virginia Department of Culture and History, and Jeff Pierson, the department's director of the arts. At Milton Middle School, they talked with music teacher Brenda Graves about the need for such instruments as flutes, saxophones and trumpets.
"I had some students who signed up (for band) who wanted to play flute, but I only have one to give out," Graves said. "So they didn't join band."
Of the nearly 100 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders who are in the band, Graves said probably 40 percent cannot afford to purchase their own instrument, which can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Reid-Smith said that although West Virginia has made sure schools have music programs, there isn't always enough funding for instruments, even in a more affluent county like Cabell.
"We have music teachers in about every school," Reid-Smith said. "Just need instruments. This (program) is an opportunity to put resources in teachers' hands."
Last year, Davidson was at Barboursville Middle to present the first strings instrument award given in West Virginia. The VH1 Save the Music Foundation first started working with West Virginia schools in 2010, giving eight $30,000 instrument packages -- three to schools in Lincoln County.
In 2011-2012, 11 more schools received awards, followed by 16 this school year. Reid-Smith said he expects applications for the grants to be submitted by schools in Nicholas, Raleigh, Summers, Putnam and Kanawha counties for the 2013-2014 school year.
Davidson said the foundation is, for the first time, working with officials to tackle the instrument shortage at the state level, rather than just individual counties.
"It's a new model, and West Virginia has been very supportive of this effort," he said.
That support and cooperation led to the state being honored last month with the SupportMusic Award from the National Association of Music Merchants.

Arizona Cardinals
Logan Thomas has 'very, very good' debut for Arizona Cardinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Logan Thomas looked every bit the NFL quarterback in his first taste of game action Saturday night.
Though it was in a preseason game, and he was facing a defense made up of players who will probably struggle to make the Houston Texans, the Arizona Cardinals' fourth-round pick showed a considerable amount in his team's 32-0 win.
Playing the entire second half, Thomas completed 11-of-12 passes for 113 yards with one touchdown.
"He had a nice, calm demeanor," coach Bruce Arians said of the former Virginia Tech quarterback. "We kept with things he likes and knows. He threw some balls in there that made me hold my breath, but the guys caught them. He was very, very good."
Thomas completed passes to five different receivers, and in the process showed a good mix of athleticism in avoiding the rush, arm strength in making throws to the sideline, and accuracy that is necessary to play at this level.
It was everything everyone knew he had, along with a lot of what people were unsure about.
"I just wanted to go through my progressions, make the right reads and deliver the right passes," Thomas said of his goals entering the game. "Right now, I think I did so. Obviously film will tell a different thing or the same thing. I guess we'll just have to see then."
It's hard to imagine the film saying much bad about the performance. Thomas said this was about as good as he's played since camp began, and it's possible he's the type of player who steps up his game when the pressure is on.
"You never know until they go on," Arians said when asked if he expected Thomas to play like this under the lights of game action. "This is the beauty of preseason. People that want to get rid of preseason games don't have young quarterbacks. If they don't get preseason games, they have no chance."
Thomas, who is battling with third-year pro Ryan Lindley to be the team's third quarterback, certainly gave himself a shot with his effort Saturday, that included a mix of throws along with an impressive touchdown pass. Facing a third and four from the Houston 12, Thomas eluded the rush, stepped up in the pocket and appeared ready to tuck the ball in and run, which he's more than capable of doing. Instead, he threw the ball to Dan Buckner for a score.
"I think that's an anybody type of play," Thomas said. "I was just stepping up, saw hole to run, but I saw Buck in the back of the end zone standing alone. Just dropped it off to him."
It's the type of play the 6-foot-6, 250-pound QB is more than capable of making, and why he is such an intriguing prospect.
Thomas lasted to pick 120 in the draft because people questioned his accuracy and decision-making, though the Cardinals believed they could coach him up and fix those issues.
And if Saturday is any indication, they may be on the way to doing just that.

I share the general joy on the right regarding the outcome of this election, but I am sorry to see go some of the Democrats who wound up losing — in particular, Reps. Ike Skelton of Missouri, John Spratt of South Carolina, and Gene Taylor of Mississippi.
All were longtime members of the House Armed Services Committee (Skelton is the outgoing chairman, Spratt the second-ranking Democrat, Taylor a subcommittee chairman). They are part of a dwindling band of centrist, strong-on-defense Democrats — a tradition stretching back to the days of Stuart Symington and Scoop Jackson. These days, alas, the Democrats are led by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The fact that so many Blue Dog Democrats have been knocked off is good news for the short term, but it will have parlous consequences at some point in the future when Democrats succeed in taking back the House. The Democratic leaders on defense and foreign policy issues in the future are likely to be considerably to the left of today's crop.

What Kinds of Problems Do Clinical Psychologists Treat?
Dear Psychologist,
I might want to become a clinical psychologist. Can you tell me the kinds of problems that clinical psychologists treat these days?
Sincerely, Jackie
Dear Jackie,
Clinical psychologists treat all sorts of problems that cause human beings to struggle in their lives. Psychology is a fascinating subject and there are constantly new advances, understandings, and treatments for these problems.
Typically a licensed psychologist has completed a doctoral program of four years or more, engaged in clinical training under supervision, and passed a state licensing exam. Two common doctoral psychology degrees are the Ph.D. and the Psy.D.
Psychologists work in all kinds of settings, from inpatient psychiatric hospitals, to mental health clinics and from private practices to crisis centers. Clinical psychologists can also be found working in prisons, or with school systems. Some psychologists become coaches to leaders of organizations.
So what kinds of problems do psychologists treat?
1) Depression. Depression can be like the common cold of psychology and ranges in severity from mild to quite extreme. Symptoms of depression include difficulty with sleeping, loss of appetite, sad mood, low energy and more. Psychologists treat depression in different ways-- some use cognitive behavioral treatment techniques while others focus more on root causes in the past. While most psychologists cannot prescribe medicine, they can evaluate whether it might be helpful for a client to see a psychiatrist for an anti-depressant.
2) Anxiety. Anxiety is another very prevalent problem in our culture. People might suffer from specific phobias, social phobias, or even generalized anxiety. While medication can be helpful, there are many types of therapy that effectively address anxiety: cognitive-behavioral, biofeedback, supportive therapy, relaxation techniques and more.
3) Life Adjustment issues. Many people choose to go see a psychologist for help in managing the stressors of their lives. Getting a divorce, looking for a relationship, grieving a loss, coping with a major change are some examples of the types of problems that can motivate someone to get treatment.
4) Trauma. If a person has been in a war, a bad accident, or been a survivor of a rape, assault, or childhood abuse situation, he or she has experienced trauma and may be having symptoms related to the incident. Psychologists have a variety of techniques for helping clients deal with their trauma histories, ranging from crisis intervention and traditional talk therapy to newer treatments such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Psychologists also help clients with major mental illness such as schizophrenia and psychosis. In addition, they can help people who are suffering from low self esteem, substance abuse issues, and eating disorders. Depending on the problem treatments can range from a few weeks to many years.
As you become a clinical psychologist you would begin to specialize in the areas that interest you. In addition to particular disorders, you might also focus on a particular age group or population-- for instance, teenagers, children, the elderly, or a specific culture.
If you think you might be interested in becoming a psychologist, there are many doctoral programs to choose from. You can get a degree from a traditional campus based school or you can look at online psychology degrees. Make sure your program is accredited by the American Psychological Association and that it allows for internship experience.
Good luck in your career.

July 30, 2015
HOUSTON—Matt Leinart has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, according to agent Tom Condon.
Leinart was cut by Arizona on Saturday. Condon confirmed in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Monday that Leinart had reached a deal with the Texans.
The Texans were looking for insurance at backup quarterback after Dan Orlovsky threw two interceptions in Houston's last preseason game last week. John David Booty, another former Southern Cal quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in that game, but was cut over the weekend.
The Cardinals took Leinart with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2006 draft, after he guided the Trojans to two national championships and a third title game appearance. With Kurt Warner retired, Leinart figured to finally get his chance to start this season, but Derek Anderson won the job in training camp.
Leinart complained that he had issues with coach Ken Whisenhunt, and the two met late in the preseason. Leinart threw for 3,893 yards with 14 touchdowns and 20 interceptions with Arizona.

We set out to test what we thought to be the best free compression programs in a head-to-head QUANTITATIVE comparison, where we collected actual compression and extraction data on different system. We also took other, qualitative aspects into consideration, such as the features, the appeal of the interface, etc.
One of two tied for first place should be no surprise, it's the well known and powerful "7-zip"; the surprise is the other top place contender, "HaoZip", which is new to me.

"Granddad Bandit" Captured: Accused of St. Louis Bank Robbery, 24 More Nationwide
|Mara at a south county Regions Bank back in May.
Mara, 52, is accused of robbing 25 banks in 13 states since January 2009. On May 18 of this year, Mara allegedly robbed the Regions Bank at 5600 S. Lindbergh in south St. Louis County.
In recent months, Mara's mugshot has been plastered on digital billboards throughout St. Louis and across the country. In announcing Mara's arrest yesterday, FBI special agent Michael Morehart credited the publicity campaign in helping to lead to Mara's capture.
"This arrest would not have been possible without the assistance of civic-minded citizens and the publicity provided by radio stations, print media and the coordination of digital billboards by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America," said Morehart in a statement.
Earlier this month a tipster provided the FBI with clues that led to Mara's capture. If convicted, Mara could spend 20 years in prison.

LYONS, Colo. (AP) — Coloradans who ventured back into the flood-ravaged town of Lyons found scenes of stomach-turning destruction, with dozens of homes destroyed, family keepsakes missing, food spoiling and mud everywhere.
"It's just sickening," said Gloria Simpson, whose family salvaged some of her grandmother's hand-made quilts Thursday from her 81-year-old father's home. They found some family photos, but others were no where to be found.
Up and down Colorado's Front Range, the number of dead rose to seven, with three others missing and presumed dead. But the number of unaccounted-for people dropped to about 140, thanks to rescues and restored communications.
Rescue operations tapered off and the state began to turn its attention to finding homes for the displaced, restoring basic services and figuring out how to repair hundreds of miles of roads and dozens of bridges.
"Right now we're just moving from the life-saving mode to the life-sustaining mode," said Kevin Kline, director of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Kline said it was too early to estimate the dollar damage but added, "It's going to be big."
The damage spans 17 counties and nearly 2,000 square miles.
Gov. John Hickenlooper said the state's reconstruction effort would be overseen by Jerre Stead, executive chairman of the global information company IHS Inc.
A new group within the state Transportation Department will focus on repairing and reconstructing as much of the state highway system as possible by Dec. 1.
Underlining the urgency, Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the only routes still open into the flood-damaged town of Estes Park, was temporarily closed because of snow early Thursday. The high-elevation road normally shuts down in October for the winter.
Under tight security, hundreds of Lyons evacuees were given two hours to check on their homes Thursday. On Sept. 12, the St. Vrain River destroyed dozens of homes, a trailer park, two bridges and sections of roads in the picturesque town of 1,600 framed by sandstone cliffs.
Darren Horwitz saw boulders, broken glass and dislodged propane tanks strewn around Lyons. His truck and sailboat that he parked at a friend's mobile home had been swept away.
"When you get there, the shock sets in," he said.
Bob Ruthrauff, 84, found his home intact, but food was rotting in his refrigerator because electricity had been cut off. He spent his two hours getting rid of the spoilage but was grateful. "We're very lucky. We came home to a dry home," Ruthrauff said.
Utility poles were toppled and power lines were in tangles. Work crews cleared debris and tried to restore power, water and sewer service.
Flooding along the South Platte River pushed into western Nebraska but caused little initial damage.
Amtrak said its Chicago-to-San Francisco California Zephyr train will detour through Wyoming until early October because of flood damage to its route in Colorado. Buses will take passengers to some of the train's normal stops in Colorado and Utah until repairs are completed.
The White House said Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, will visit Colorado Monday.

By Frank Chaudoin from USA on 2010-05-02 17:00:26Things I liked:The gun looks nice and feels good in the hand, the gun is also pretty accurate and the safety is easy to operate with one hand.
Things I would have changed:The screw in CO2 is just a bad idea when you can purchase a gun for the same price that has a much better mechanism for installing the CO2. I own a Daisy powerline 008 and this gun, and after owning both I wouldn't recommend to anyone to purchase an air pistol with a screw in CO2 mechanism.
What others should know:If you purchase be extremely careful not to tighten the screw too tight, I was very careful as I am with all of my possessions and within a 1000 rounds the gun is in poor shooting condition and will only get off about 10 rounds per cartridge because it leaks.

Flambe - The Phoenix story..
Hey Guys ... Well being a foodie I do dare to go out on these Bangalore roads drive 14 Kms for a good lunch or dinner.. I used to Vaguely remember the terrace restaurant that served me a Vodka - pasta one day.. and then day before I visited this place with my beloved. drove all the way from Vijayanagar to Kormangla .. firstly you notice the place has changed.. the ambiance is far better than most of the places .. I say that because i am a designer and its a Huge task to maintain White tables.. I see the effort and Dare there.. We settle down and take a good look at the Menu.. its like 40 Pages!! wow.. most of it.. I didnt even read thru.. I just called the guy and told him.." I need something Tangy , spicy and veggie and whatever Madam wants.." that was for a starter .. he nodded and he upsold me a mocktail till the time my starter arrived :) . anxiously now i wanted to go thru the menu... so i did and 15 minutes passed.. then arrived 2 starters along with the chef . and he says "Hi Sir, I am Girish " and here's the starter please taste it and let me know if you like it.. i can change it if you dont.." I was speechless.. first time some one asked me that in a resturant.. .. now.. the presentation was good.. and The starter was Yummy and awesome!.. now i loved it so much that i went on a starter trip ordering 2 more of different ones.. Flambe'd and sizzlers ..the main course and the Good Old Flambe dessert .. the best part is.. My wife wanted to see how the chef cooked.. unlike other restaurants You CAN ask the cook to tell you the recipe.. while he prepares it for you.. I call this a Raise of a Phoenix !!.. They could have served us faster .. slightly cheeper.. but what the hell.. if i pay peanuts i get monkeys.. (have you ever tried Nandhini?) its not like I would love to pay Rs150 for Meal that 4 of us can eat for 2 days.. :) its an experience and time i spend with my wife on a good dinner.. While posting this review i just realized what a nice line from a movie called "Ratatouille" .. Mr Ego says " In many ways the job of a critic is easy ..." I suggest guys .. Please go there with an open mind ... all these reviews are written by pissed off customers who are getting back.. but i am sure Flambe has had more satisfied customers like me who are touched who rarely write a review on a satisfied dinner..
avoid it like a plague....
Bought some coupons through online deal site for flambe/sizzler.
We were the first to visit the place (evening) ordered within 5 minutes of reaching there... then the wait started. In the meanwhile we asked if they served filtered water to which they replied in affirmative. Had a first sip of water and yuk... ordered bottled water next.
The wait was getting extended with each passing minute. Finally to our relief the ordered Sizzler arrived.. then second.. then Third .. oops but we had ordered third one to be Flambe, pointed this out to the steward and he kind of unwillingly took it away.
They did some jugglery and bought the same dish in a plate calling it to be flambe. Then the wait for final dish started which was suppose to be a Sizzler, but that again they got in a plane plate, when pointed out they took it back and got it on sizzler plate.
In all we wasted 1.5 hr + waiting to be served then next 15 minutes for the bill.
Finally the Bill arrived.. Gosh it was exorbitant.. A mocktail and bottle of water was billed for Rs.446.00, Mocktail Rs. 140.00, packaged bottle of water Rs. 50.00 (All other items were prepaid). So, already overpriced 190.00 was further inflated to 446.00 (ridiculous!!!) bought it to the attention of purser, paid Rs. 200.00 and left the place with the vow not to look at it again.
Food quality was just OK nothing great, quantity too was very less. The anand sweet in opposite building turned out to be savior and we had our dinner there (everything we had in Flambe was nothing more then starters owing to quantity)
Overall a crappy place to be in, on accounts of pathetic service and then unethical billing practices.

loved the mocktails and starters
Went there on a Thursday night, a friend suggested the place... and the only reason I chose the place was because I was curious to enjoy a real lounge in Bangalore... We were 14 of us, tasty Mocktails and amazing starters
Good crowd, A group can sit, relax enjoy drinks (they do not serve alcoholic drinks) and have a nice time without being disturbed.
The staff is extremely friendly and good! Considering how there are hardly any nice places to hangout in Bangalore, flambé is one of the few places I would recommend to my friends when they visit Bangalore.. They have a smoking area too, which is good. You don't have to stand at the door like a tramp to take a few puffs
I complained about my main course not being spicy enough, they took it back and prepared again to my specific taste and that was nice indeed! Best, they did not charge me for that!
The main thing about their flambe dish is that the food is finished off in front of u with the matching liquor. Watching the flames was excellent for the terrace they have.
I would go! Oh yeah, they have many discounts and offers too.. for lunch on week days especially on Monday to Thursday where they run good offers. We were happy we got a good deal!
cheers flambe meet u soon again!
Avoid - "It was a burn the food day"!
I was there in Jan,2012 for a buffet. Got there around 1:45pm & we(my hubby,toddler & I) were they only ones until 3.30pm. It wasn't a laid out buffet & therefore we were served at our table. We were offered "clear sea food soup" which
was like boiled water with tiny chewy pieces of sea monsters more or less like drinking sea water. Then came the starters - small boney burnt pieces of chicken kebab, another small boney pieces of chicken something & burnt hard dry gobi machurian. Was hoping for the main course to get better-but it wasn't worth it. Lots of items but all tasteless..the dal(burnt) & 4 other curries were on the tabble & we
ate only the mutton & chicken gravy with nan. The Chicken biryani had
no aroma! The rice grains of the veg pulao were hard lilttle pests!
Our meal eneded with 1 tiny scoup of vanilla ice cream.
I had to order for noodles for my child & they were nice enough to
make creamy chicken kebabs for my child(which were edible)
Am glad I filled out the suggesstion form which they brought along
with the bill.
The ONLY thing the asked they should change-I said food! The wait
staff were good & efficient-that's probably co's we were they only
ones to be waited on!
Visting Flambe again - NO! Will you tell your friends about us - NO!
That's what I marked...Good Luck Flambe!
With so many negative reviews..FLAMBE- don't you think it's high time you find yourself a good cook to save your business????? Concetrate more on your cook & less on the internet.

Dear IandMe, firstly thank you for your candid feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our laid out lunch buffet is very popular but we have noticed few complaints when we serve the buffet on the table. We are planning a major revamp of our restaurant including the kitchen, staff & interiors, backend etc. very soon. And trust me, this will not be 'old wine in new bottle!' It is your feedback that guides us towards a better future and we have taken it in the best spirit. We will keep you posted of changes. Till then. Happy din

Flambe should go up in Flames
This was one of the worst dining experiences i have ever had. To start with it is a night mare for veggies. There were only 2 starters and both were really bad.
The main course didn't have any paneer item and only one rice preperation was there. To satisfy my hunger i searched for daal but found only a pale yellow one which tasted worse than my cook's ( please be informed he is the worst cook in my area).
Well as for desserts there was only vanilla ice cream along with a pot of kheer which i couldn't dare to taste because of the shock i was in ( instilled by the main course and starters.)
I would suggest others to avoid this place even though the buffet is cheap (approx 200).
January 17, 2012response from management at Flambe:
Dear Veggi, thank you for visiting us and apologies for any inconvenience caused to you. Our lunch buffet is extremely popular and we have made a constant and conscious effort to upgrade the items and quality over time. Having started with a 12 item buffet we today serve a 20 item buffet (excluding accompaniments & miscellaneous items). This spread includes 14 veggies and 6 non-veggies. For the veggies we have 1 soup, 3 salads, 2 starters, 7 main course & 2 desserts. For non-veggies, we have in addition to the above, 1 nv soup, 2 nv starters

This place is a joke
We made the mistake of going to this place for weekend lunch buffet despite reading all the reviews below. We thought, how bad could it be... Trust me, its worse than what has been mentioned below. If there was a regulatory body for restaurants, this place would have been demolished a long time back.
We had been to the rooftop restaurant. The ambience seemed to be decent. Looking at this, we felt that the place might have improved after so much feedback. However, the buffet spread seemed to be limited to very few dishes and the buffet hardly ever had any food. The lunch buffet includes some tasteless salad, couple of chicken starters, based on Chinese cuisine, which seem to have more bone than meat. The vegetarian starters were a little okay but, you'll have to count yoursef lucky if you ever get to see any of it. There is one vegetarian and one non vegetarian gravy. The chicken that was in the gravy was so badly cooked that I am at a loss of words to describe it. The dessert section just has some scoops of normal ice cream and another dish which I never got to see.
The noodles and sauce are the only dishes that I would reccommend. But, I would seriously doubt your decision making skills if you ended up at this place even after reading this review. Whatever food that was available, was not even warm. Its very difficult to believe that the food served here once had life in it. We almost ended up double checking with the manager to make sure that the food had been prepared on the same day. We thought of asking the staff to keep burners under the buffet utensils to keep the food warm, but then realized that the utensils rarely have any food in them.
I am not sure on what basis they expect people to pay for whatever food is served here.
Oh, by the way, we never got that bottle of mineral water we ordered as we came in.

Dear Sumeeth, please accept our most sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. We ran into some unforeseen technical problems in the kitchen yesterday and hence there was a delay in re-filling of the food on the buffet setup. We were also running full on the terrace and that was clearly a wrong time for such a technical failure. We are extremely sorry for the same, and trust us these dont happen often. As for your other feedback I would like to talk to you personally and understand the elements better so we can act on those. We
Bad food and bad ambience
We had booked a table for 14 today and we arrived at that place (terrace) by 1:00 PM. Ambiance is very average. For hand wash we had to go to 2nd floor. Food quality is pathetic. Some food salt less and other tasteless. Poor menu options for buffet. They starting filling the food utensils or buffet boxes quite late. Sweet corn soup served was really bad and had to wait 10 mins for veg starters to come. Pulav had no salt or taste in it. Rotis were not served to our table and we had to help ourselves. Both veg curries were horrible. Overall, if you are out of fever and doctor had advised you to have bland food, then this is the place for you. Above all, deserts did not have ice cream and they had a pathetic sweet which i didn't even bother to taste. Overall worst place i've dined for. 200INR + tax is not worth for this buffet.
December 4, 2011response from management at Flambe:
Hello, we apologise for the inconvenience caused to you and your friends. We will have wash rooms on the terrace floor very soon and this is a feedback we have taken very seriously. As for the food, we do not serve any spicy food and we do so only on request on our alacarte menu options. We tend to keep the spices and salt on the lower side for the buffet so that all the gravies will blend with rice as well as roti. We will still work on improving this for sure. We set up the buffet on small portions to ensure the food is freshly refilled from
We had a great party!
My boss had arranged for a buffet dinner party last weekend and I was pretty concerned after reading some bad reviews for this place on burrp. I went there to give it a try and I must say I am very much pleased with our experience as a group! We were 16 of us and what I liked best was the customized buffet menu that they setup for us! They offered us a choice of all 18 items on the 5 course menu which we decided the previous day by email. We got to choose from their options in Continental, Indian & Chinese cuisine, for no extra charge! Wow! The food was pretty good though the mutton could have been softer. The flavors were pleasant and balanced, not too spicy, which the entire group liked. The complimentary welcome drink and choice of ice cream was a good surprise indeed. The chicken starters were a real hit with the group. Service could have been faster (this was a table service dinner buffet) but was personalized enough which made up for it. At the end of it couple of us tried out their cheese poppers flambe and one chicken strips sizzler. I must say they were just fantastic, with the right balance of continental spices. The flambe dish prepared in front of us was a real treat! The mocktails tasted good but the presentation can be improved. The lighting was a bit sober I thought but didn't spoil the fun. The terrace with lovely breeze made it a great evening for us. In all we had a real blast! Thanks boss for taking us to Flambe! No wonder they say boss is always right!
Worst place to visit
Pathetic and Stale food
The quantity of food served is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo less in comparison to the money charged. When they get the food it looks like there is no food inside. Not 1% worth the money you pay
Horrible sizzlers
Very slow service
Staff are rude, slow without any life
Worst experience of my life and an insult for the people who came with me. I was really embarrassed after the visit for having taken people along
Worst place to visit. Worst Manager
On Saturday we planned for a dinner at Flambe. When i called to book a table for 6, the person who received the call pretended as if the restaurant was full and he could block a table for us if we are sure of going there. When we reached there, we found all the tables to be empty except 2 where there were only a couple.
When we ordered for a common drink which is available in all the Bars, the waiter said its not available. After we ordered the starters, it comes after almost half an hour n the quantity was so damn pathetic.we were 6 people n every starters we ordered came in 6pieces in a plate n the size was approximately 1.5" of every piece.The fish fingers came without white sauce(Mayo) which is commonly served with fish fingers. When we asked for it, the waiter got it but it had oil floating on top of it. They charge so high for all the items and the quantity is not even worth quarter the actual price. Before the starters came we ordered for main course and after we finished the starters it took more than half an hour again to get the main course. One of us ordered for Mutton Biryani n the rice n meat was raw. not even half cooked. The menu card explains what each dish includes, but when the dish actually comes to u, it has all different things added by them with their convenience. We even wanted to have dessert but then, we opted to go to some other place n enjoyed our dessert there. Our bill was Rs.3340 n it was not even worth Rs.340.
Very Slow service!!!
I had been to this place a couple of times and my recent experience had not been so good. I wanted to have a pleasant dining experience in a rooftop lounge and chose this one as it was close to my place. We had ordered 3 flambe sizzlers for which we had to wait for an hr to actually get it served despite the fact that there where only 2 other tables that was occupied then. By the time the sizzlers were served the hunger had gone. The food is ok however will appreciate if they could improve on the wait time..

Dear Patron, we appreciate your sincere inputs. We were facing some operations challenges on that day and we own up for this shortfall in service. But we are glad you enjoyed the food though. We assure you a great experience next time you dine with us. We are also coming up with some major changes in the interiors and menu over the coming month or so. Do stay in touch. Thanks again for dining with us.

With the terrace lounge you will feel pretty relaxed. Good service as well. But a Pint of beer will cost you 130 and a bottle will cost you 180. That's why I call it OVERPRICED. I feel there are better places at better prices in Koramangala. So do not waste your money at this place unless and until you are so specific about the Ambiance. And if you look at the food menu, you will not find a single Item priced below 180. Unless you order for a veg SALAD which may cost you around 140 Bucks :-) . Hope this review helps.
They have mentioned sizzlers as there speciality so i decided to have one when i visited Flambe 2 wks back with a friend. We ordered one veg and a non veg sizzler and to my horror they were the worst sizzler we ever had with stale big chunks of non veg, we left most of it and apart from that they took a very long time to get them,though the restaurant was completely empty.A BIG no,bad ambience poor service high rates,worst experience one can ever have.

do they know what flambe means...??!!
we went there with kids, expecting them to expose them to the flambe concept.... But not to be.. Guess the waiters/captain doesnt have a clue of the menu and am sure the chef (cook??) would have tried some crash course to attempt a flambe dish... Anyway, what we got for chicken pepperonata flambe was some big chunks with equal portion of rice. Looked and tasted similar to goan rice and chicken curry!!
Enchiladas - i have had better ones at shanti sagar (believe it or not!!)
A big NO NO NO!!
Went to this place couple of days back.And would never like to try it again.Had buffet here.It was aweful!.
I think they have some local cooks instead of chefs.The food at the buffet was so bad that I left most of it and went to Anand Sweets which is opposite to it to have something.Most of the people read read reviews before checking out a new place.So no restaurants can fool people these days.I would request my fellow burrpers not to go to this place to waste your money.You might think of trying if its free.That too at your own risk !I read all 4 reviews that were already present on burrp.3 out of 4 are bad .So it's high time management improves upon quality of food.
And I read a review by burp_burp.And I read the reply by management.The management has replied that they have stopped serving buffet on table because of customer demand.But I think they forgot to waive of the service charge !!
Overall from food to management everything is bad..Kindly avoid..
Pathetic is the word
We went to this place today.Food was really bad.Chilly chicken had bones.Ice cream was like Rs 2 icecream on roadside.Rotis were cold.Soup was the most pathetic soup I have ever had and not hot at all.Chicken tandoori was without salt!! Over all everything was too bad to go there again..! dont ever try this one.And this was the buffet and it was not served on the table like its done in some of the good restaurants.But then for what did they take the service charge?Compared to other restaurants of the same class in Koramangla this one is aweful!
April 4, 2010response from management at Flambe:
Dear burp_burp, thanks for your valuable observations. They are well taken. When we launched a couple of months ago we began with a TDH (buffet served on the table) and it was discouraged by most guests who seem to prefer an arranged buffet for lunch. However we also serve the buffet on the table for senior citizens and any guest on request. While I thank you for your candid feedback on todays buffet, I invite you to try us out for ala-carte which is our true identity/ speciality. Will be on the house if you dont think it is worth it! Chee
April 5, 2010response from management at Flambe:
What I mean to say is service tax is ONLY charged if buffet is served on the table.Thats what is followed in all restaurants.And the most important thing is the quality of food.If ala-carte menu is your indentity.speciality then do you really think its correct to makea fool out of people by keeeping such a low quality buffet ?Either scrap the buffet or improve the quality.A person having bad expeirince at a restaurant whether buffet or ala-carte will not like to return again to waste money and try again.Personally I would not like to experim
Uncomfortable place, undesirable food
Went there on a weekday. The place was deserted and it worked for us since we wanted a quite evening. We wanted beer and they only had Foster that too warm. I rate Foster down in the list so wasn't very happy. We tried Cocktail prawns and it was not upto the mark. The salad dressing was very sweet (Atleast i found it sweet). We actually didn't anything else after that.

Dear Ivy.div, firstly we apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. Being a new place, we are sorting our some typical startup issues. However, thank you for dining with us. I also assure you that when you visit us again you will see a significant ramp up in our standards. The Flambe team hopes to have you dining with us again soon! May I suggest you try our signature Flambe dishes and sizzlers next time please. Cheers and thanks for your candid feedback.

Great to hear that. Will try it some time
February 22,2010
All that was expected!
I visited Flambé on Friday 19th in the evening
I walked in with no preconceived notions as to how we will enjoy the evening, after struggling to get a parking (no valet available) we found ourselves going up to the 4th floor. We were welcomed and greeted by the lady who asked us our preference of roof top or indoor seating. We decided to try the rooftop.
The ambiance was pleasant, although very dimly lit so much so that we could not even read the menu!! However a clever adaptation with small torches took care of that! We ordered the chicken Diane and pasta. They were very helpful when we wanted to change the ingredients to a particular pasta type and add mushrooms and other ingredients. Nice touch! Although they have a bar, it was not very well stocked as whatever we ordered was not available.
The food was done well and we had a good time. I would just recommend some ear plugs as Himesh Reshamia was blaring at an unbelievable volume! Besides the music I thoroughly enjoyed the place.
A Must try
April 2, 2010response from management at Flambe:
Dear Yoexa, thank you for dining with us. I am glad you enjoyed dining at the terrace lounge. The music was an aberration and I am sorry for the loud volume. Actually we play soft rock, hip hop and club varying by the time of the day and at medium volume. We are launching our first-change menu later this month and I welcome you to check us out soon! Again, thank you for your valuable feedback and we are eager to see you again at Flambe! Cheers!

Beware of waiters
My husband took to this new restaurant in Koramangala called Flambe. He planned the surprise for my birthday and I was too excited about it. The look was perfect. I was happy about the choice. But thanks to painful waiter our experience turned out to be pathetic. We literally wanted to run out of that place.
The waiter started with the small conversation and never stopped. He insisted that we should order for two main courses though we kept telling him that we want to have more starters. We finally ordered a Chicken item from their flambé section. Till the time we were eating starters he kept annoying us by asking how do we like it and if we need more after every 10 min, but never bothered to clear the table. The worst was when they started making the main dish. He insisted that we see how its been done. To be polite we looked at it and there he was again, Madam now! Now is the time you should see. Oh!
Finally here comes the main course and he was like how is it. I politely replied OK. But unsatisfied he kept standing here and asked again, Good na. Oh God! Yeah good, I replied. This didnt end here, he kept pestering us till the end. Even when we left he followed us till the stairs and was like, Come again, and get you colleagues too, I will get you some discount. Our special evening was so special that we couldnt speak to each other for even 10 min. I went with my husband and baby, but it turned out that we were 3+1.
So overall its a nice place, decent food. But please stay away from waiters and dont try it on a special day.
April 2, 2010response from management at Flambe:
Dear Pooja, this response is a tad too late, but worthwhile. I truly appreciate your straight feedback and I am glad to inform you that we have seriously worked on it. My apologies for the 'over-anxious waiter'. Do give us a chance and I am sure you will truly enjoy dining with us. Thanks for your positive feedback on the food. We hope to have your family dining with us again soon. Cheers!

Unpaid dementia carers are saving taxpayers millions of dollars, but their mental and physical health is suffering and they need more support, researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) found.
Researchers from QUT's Dementia Collaborative Research Centre: Carers and Consumers last week announced the results of a study which investigated one of the most important supports for unpaid carers – respite care.
Study co-leaders Professor Elizabeth Beattie and Dr Elaine Fielding from the QUT Dementia Collaborative Research Centre said the project, which involved interviewing more than 330 carers of people with dementia from across Australia, revealed there was a "high need" for government-funded respite care.
Professor Beattie claimed unpaid family carers, usually either spouses or adult children, provide the majority of care for people with dementia living in the community.
"Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and time-consuming, and rates of depression and burden are high in carers," she said.
About 60% of the carers in the survey reported receiving no regular help from family and friends in their caring role and less than one-third of the carers felt they had someone they could call on to care for the person with dementia for a few days if something unexpected occurred.
"The cost of caring for people with dementia forms a significant portion of the federal government's health budget, and this cost will continue to grow as the population ages over the next 50 years," Professor Beattie claimed.
"Continuing to care for people with dementia in the community with family carers, rather than in residential facilities, entails considerably lower costs and is generally preferred by people with dementia and their carers."
Fellow researcher, Dr Fielding, told DPS News while the current system of government-funded respite care was working well for many carers, other carers experienced significant barriers to accessing respite care, such as financial hardship or refusal on the part of the person with dementia or the respite provider.
"The study found carers who used in-home or care centre respite services regularly were, for the most part, quite satisfied with them.
"However, residential respite care was more problematic. Waiting lists were sometimes prohibitively long and the quality of the care was sometimes lacking in the carers' opinion.
"Most refusals of respite requests were due to availability issues or to the physical or behavioural care needs of the person with dementia. For example, some carers reported respite services refused to accept their relative because of incontinence or aggression."
The researchers said the study backedup and recommended further inclusions into the federal government's Living Longer, Living Better aged care reforms announced earlier this year.
Some of the policy recommendations stemming from the study include:
- increasing the amount and flexibility of respite services;
- improving dementia-specific training to respite care staff; and
- streamlining the referral pathways, since many carers had difficulty finding out about respite care services.

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross baseball team out-hit Navy 22-16 but could not complete a two game sweep of the Midshipmen, winning 8-6 and then falling 10-8 in doubleheader action Fitton Field. With the day's results, the Crusaders collect a record of 19-20-1 (6-8 PL) while the Midshipmen move to 24-17-1 (8-6 PL) on the season. Seniors Brendan McCrea (Hicksville, N.Y.) and Nick Ciardiello (Edison, N.J.) led the team's offensive charge, combining for eight hits and eight RBI over the two games.
Game One
Ciardiello gave the Crusaders an early 1-0 lead after doubling over the right fielder's head in the bottom of the first to bring around fellow senior Jack Laurendeau (Sudbury, Mass.) who led off with a single. After junior starter John Pedrotty (Portsmouth, R.I.) worked his way out of a jam in the second and then got the Midshipmen to go three up, three down in the third, Holy Cross put together three more runs of support in the bottom of the third to take a 4-0 lead. Senior Eric Oxford (Danvers, Mass.) and sophomore Patrick Puentes (East Greenbush, N.Y.) tallied RBI hits in the inning, including a double by Oxford and single from Puentes. Sophomore Stephen Wadsworth (Wayland, Mass.) also added a sacrifice fly to score the third run in the inning.
Holy Cross continued to pull ahead, repeating with another three-run effort in the fourth to go up 7-0. McCrea notched a two-run double in the inning, scoring freshman Mike Ahmed (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and sophomore Alex Maldonado (Brooklyn, N.Y.) while Puentes added another RBI single, scoring McCrea. Pedrotty continued to shut out the Midshipmen in the fourth and fifth innings while the Crusaders put together one more run on three hits in the bottom of the fifth as freshman Andrew Barry (Puyallup, Wash.) collected the RBI on a sacrifice fly.
Navy broke up Pedrotty's shutout attempt in the top of the sixth, loading the bases to chase the southpaw from the mound. The Midshipmen then scored four times off sophomore reliever Tom Marra (Sea Cliff, N.Y.) on two bases loaded walks and then a two-run double. A fielding error allowed two more Navy runs to score as Holy Cross had to go to its closer, sophomore John Colella (Herndon, Va.) to stop the rally. The Midshipmen did not score again as the Crusaders escaped the inning ahead by two runs, 8-6. After Holy Cross did not score in the bottom of the sixth, Colella completed the save situation in the top of the seventh, not allowing one hit as the Crusaders won out by the final 8-6 score.
Pedrotty moves to 7-2 on the year after pitching a 5.1 inning win, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out six. Navy's starter, Ben Nelson, gets tabbed with the loss, falling to 4-5 after pitching the full six innings. He allowed eight runs on 12 hits and struck out tow. In all, Holy Cross scored eight runs on 12 hits, making three errors while the Midshipmen scored six runs on seven hits.
Game Two
Navy jumped ahead 4-0 in the first inning of play, collecting just one hit in the outing. Holy Cross got back two runs in the bottom half of the inning as Ciardiello picked up a RBI single and Oxford knocked in another run on a sacrifice fly. Puentes then tied the score at 4-4 in the bottom of the second, sending home Laurendeau and McCrea with a double. Sophomore Chris Kono (Greenwich, Conn.), who replaced starter Vaughn Hayward (Glendale, R.I.), shut down the Navy offense in the second through fourth innings, striking out four Midshipmen in the two innings of work. The Midshipmen were then able to capitalize on a double in the fifth, going ahead 5-4 and threatened again in the fifth to chase Kono from the mound.
Five Midshipmen runs came across on five hits in the top of the sixth as the Crusaders found themselves down, 10-4 after coming up scoreless in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Ciardiello broke the scoreless stretch with a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh as Holy Cross came within four runs, 10-6. McCrea then followed with a two-run single in the eighth to bring the Crusaders within two runs, 10-8 as Barry and Maldonado scored, each collecting hits in the inning. Sophomore Nate Walker (San Diego, Calif.) struck out the side in the top of the ninth, but Holy Cross could not bat its way to a full comeback, falling by the 10-8 final.
Hayward, who let up the four runs in the first inning, acquired the losing decision, dropping to 0-2 on the season. Navy reliever Preston Gainey earned the win to move to 1-0 on the season. He pitched three innings, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out six. In all, Holy Cross scored eight runs on 10 hits, committing one error while the Midshipmen score 10 runs on nine hits.
The Crusaders will wrap up the four game series against Navy tomorrow, April 25. Doubleheader action will begin at 12:00 p.m. at Fitton Field.

Happy New Year!
Well another year has flown by, and we are ready for the New Year! We had a lovely Christmas Holidays, the boys had so much fun, and I didn't want them to go back to school today!! We had a little break over the New Year and went to Anglesey with some friends, plenty of fresh air and fun - highly recommended! The weather is still very cold here, with black ice, and more freezing temperatures forecast - but don't worry we are all very cosy in the house! We had our gradings inspector come and do a surprise visit just before Christmas, and again we were award 4star Gold - just what we wanted!! The B&B bookings are starting to pick up, which is great, and we sold a tremendous amount of meat over the Christmas period - which was fantastic.
May I take this opportunity of wishing you all the Very Best for 2009, and we look forward to welcoming you to Churton Heath Farm, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Consider Kanye West smitten!
According to Us Weekly, the rapper has voiced his desire not only to wed his reality star girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, but also to become the father of her children — and apparently sooner rather than later!
"They're seriously talking marriage. And yes, she would [accept his proposal]," a source close to the couple told Us. "Kanye says he can't wait to see her carrying his child. He says she will look beautiful pregnant."
While the pair's relationship has been moving at record speed (even by Kardashian standards), sources close to KimYe think the two "are the real deal."
Now if only Kim could settle that pesky divorce...

Indiana Man Lets Buyer Keep His Stolen Car
By editor
Originally published on Fri April 18, 2014 11:10 am
Good morning. I'm Kelly McEvers with the story of not one, but two, good Samaritans in Boonville, Indiana. A Chrysler belonging to Derk West was stolen last week. The thief then sold the car to a 72-year-old man for 300 bucks. That buyer started feeling like the deal was too good to be true.
So he looked up the car's rightful owner, Mr. West, gave him a call. Derk West decided the older man needed the car more than he did so he let him keep it. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

J. Michael McCarthy, May 3, 2012
Type "mechanism" or "robotics" into google.com and the first items to appear are Wikipedia articles. In fact, chances are that any technical term in mechanisms and robotics, such as "machine," "gear," or "inverse kinematics," will yield Wikipedia articles on the first page.
Internet marketers work hard to achieve first page rankings in Google's search algorithm using techniques known as search engine optimization (SEO). In response Google regularly revises its algorithm to reduce the presence of web-sites that have poor content but high rankings, a sign of effective SEO. (1) A revision introduced in early 2011 seems to like Wikipedia.
When teaching, I check to see what my students find on-line with search terms like "four-bar linkage" and "mechanical advantage," even "screw theory" and "quaternions." Last year I became so frustrated with the poor quality of the articles appearing at the top of my searches, that on May 27, 2011 I created a user account and entered Wikipedia as a novice editor.
I am approaching one year and 3,800 edits on over 60 articles on Wikipedia. While I could not repair everything that I felt was wrong or misleading, I am claiming success, because the culture of Wikipedia imposes limits on what can be done.
This experience has sharpened my appreciation for the challenge of managing information on the Internet. Before I get to this, let me share some advice regarding the world that is Wikipedia.
First, please do not ignore Wikipedia, at least not while Google is placing it at the top of most every search. You may dismiss its content, but your students and colleagues are reading it. In fact, 400 million people access Wikipedia every month, that is 13 million people every day. (2)
Next, remember that everyone can edit a Wikipedia article, whether or not they have a user account. Students around the world have great fun calling each other names in the article Simple machines, which has close to 3000 views per day. Wikipedia volunteers work tirelessly to check edits and identify and remove vandalism.
Lastly, regular Wikipedia editors have user names, and it is expected that their identities remain private, which eliminates claims to expertise. In practice, this means any editor can question any edit, and revert it to the original until the questioning editor is convinced. Such edit conflicts can be overcome by a third opinion, or more if needed, documented in written exchanges on the talk page of an article. The infrastructure to manage conflicts and vandalism gives Wikipedia its reputation as a massive, multi-player on-line role-playing game (MMORPG).
The focus of my effort was articles on machines and related topics, which is an infrequently traveled region of Wikipedia. Some articles such as Work and Power have close to 4000 views each day; but Four-bar linkage and Virtual work have around 200; while Kinematic chain and Screw axis bounce around 50 views per day. For comparison, Britney Spears and France receive 15-20,000 views per day.
This means, that I was often left alone in my editing activities. However, I did attract negative attention for edits to the articles Machine, Sprocket, Kinematics, Simple machine and Forward kinematics. In most cases I had to give up, because in remote corners of Wikipedia these are one-on-one conflicts that favor the status quo.
There is much to criticize in Wikipedia (3) and competing web-sites have been designed to increase the reliability of the information they provide. For example, Citizendium, created by Wikipedia's co-founder Larry Sanger, requires editors to use their real names. Scholarpedia and Annotum are designed to support user-generated scholarly content. Another approach is iMechanica for "mechanics and mechanicians" hosted by the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science, which provides specific knowledge for a particular community. A similar site is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy found at plato.stanford.edu. Science magazine and Nature both have beautiful web-sites, but neither is designed to provide simple explanations for basic concepts.
The fact remains that the breadth and accessibility of Wikipedia supported by Google's ranking system makes it the first stop for an overview of a particular topic. (4) And other sites such as About.com and even Citizendium often reproduce Wikipedia articles. None-the-less, in my opinion, it is wise for teachers to disallow Wikipedia as a source, because errors can be persistent. (5) Then again, Wikipedia articles often include links to useful sources. In fact, while working on seemingly ordinary articles like Pulley, Block and tackle, and Inclined plane I was pleasantly surprised by insights found among these links.
Our university and industry colleagues form an international research community that is responsible for expanding, reworking and continuously evaluating what we know and can use in mechanisms and robotics. We prepare textbooks and research monographs, on-line lecture notes and videos for our colleagues and students. This activity continuously verifies and demonstrates the use of this knowledge, which the Internet and google.com then make available around the world.
But where do elementary and high school teachers and the larger society go to find simple and reliable explanations of the basic principles of mechanisms and robotics? I may wish that it was an on-line source that we managed, but the real answer is Wikipedia. I believe our community cannot ignore this. We must make Wikipedia work for us, for our students, and for those who rely on our expertise. So, if the material you find in Wikipedia is not correct, then please fix it, or at least ask me to fix it.

Game of Thrones
Game Of Thrones Season 2: A Guide to the New Characters
Make room for the new kids! Westeros is going to get even more crowded on Game of Thrones Season 2, which premieres April 1 on HBO. The spotlight is going to shine on several important new characters, so here's a quickie guide to some of the major fresh faces we'll meet.
Note: We won't spoil any big plot points, but we have read the books. If you want to go into the season knowing nothing about what's to come, turn away now.
Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane)
Stannis is the middle Baratheon boy — younger brother of the late King Robert (Mark Addy) and older brother of the ambitious Renly (Gethin Anthony). Going by pure bloodlines, Stannis is Robert's true heir, since the kid currently sitting on the Iron Throne, King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), is not actually Robert's biological son. Since Stannis knows this, he's ready to fight and claim the throne for himself. Unfortunately, Stannis is dry and unforgiving and nobody likes him all that much — including his popular younger brother Renly, who is in the process of trying to claim the throne for himself.
Melisandre (Carice van Houten)
The Red Lady is a priestess from across the Narrow Sea in Asshai. She has copper hair and red eyes and worships the Lord of Light, R'hllor. She is Stannis Baratheon's chief advisor and will do anything to help him take the throne, believing that he is prophesied to rule. She's scary and ruthless and has a huge amount of influence over Stannis.
Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham)
Davos, aka "The Onion Knight," is loyal to Stannis and doesn't trust Melisandre. Davos used to be a smuggler but Stannis gave him his knighthood during King Robert's rebellion. However, Stannis also had a few of Davos' fingers cut off for being a thief. Stannis is complicated like that. Davos is fan favorite from the books.
Jeyne Westerling (Oona Chaplin)
When Robb Stark isn't busy fighting the Lannisters and anyone else who challenges his status as "The King in the North," he meets a girl named Jeyne who…let's say…complicates things.
Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie)
Another fan favorite in the books, Brienne is a tall, unattractive wannabe knight who serves Renly Baratheon as Renly attempts to take the throne. Although her love for Renly is unrequited (remember: he's gay), she is his loyal supporter and an accomplished fighter.
Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer)
Margaery is the sister of Ser Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones), Renly Baratheon's secret lover. Beautiful Margaery is kind but shrewd and understands the benefits of aligning herself with the powerful House Baratheon...Even if it means a political marriage that will categorically not involve love.
Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide)
The lord of the Iron Islands, Balon is the father of Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), who has been a ward of the Stark family since he was 8. Theon gets to visit his family on the Iron Islands this season. Will he be welcomed with open arms?
Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan)
Called Asha in the books, Yara is Theon Greyjoy's sister. Fierce warrior Yara has basically been running the show at her father's side, so don't expect her to be happy to see her brother.
Jaqen H'ghar (Tom Wlaschiha)
The mysterious Jaqen was part of Yoren's (Francis Magee) group of recruits taken from King's Landing to join the Night's Watch. He's traveling to The Wall along with Arya Stark, who is disguising herself as a boy.
Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton)
House Bolton is creepy as heck. Roose is cold and calculating and likes to be leeched for health purposes, earning himself the nickname "The Leech Lord." He has a bastard son, Ramsay Snow, who is even more of a bad seed. Expect to see the Bolton crew at Harrenhal on Season 2, where they should meet up with Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) — who is currently on the lam.
Ygritte (Rose Leslie)
Another strong warrior, Ygritte is a wildling woman that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) meets beyond The Wall. She's known for her red hair and for saying "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
Xaro Xhoan Daxos (Nonso Anozie)
A merchant from the city of Quarth, who will be a potential ally for Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
Game of Thrones Season 2 premieres on Sunday, April 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Empowering communities locally and globally to build special needs programs.
Offerings' vision is to empower communities to better serve people with special needs.
Offerings empowers people not by telling them what they should do but helping them gain the skills to develop control over their program vision. This enables them to make their own decisions as problems arise in order to improve their services. Offerings helps people to connect to resources and find new opportunities.
Offerings trip to Bali & Java Indonesia 2014 was about helping programs build their capacity to support children and adults as well as their families with Autism, Downs Syndrome, ADHD and Physical Challenges.
Our kick-off event was hosted by YPK (Yayasan Peduli Kemanusiaan) at the Annika Linden Center in Denpasar, Bali. Approximately 40 guests representing 8 special needs centers or organizations attended. Morning session focused on addressing challenges faced by centers with specific children. Through group facilitation Offerings' Executive Director, Karen Kaplan, identified suggestions and solutions.
The afternoon session offered a functional based, academic curriculum to guests focused on meal planning, shopping, meal preparation, eating and social communication. Participants learned how to see how a key life skill can be used to teach math, reading, communication, socialization, motor planning, science and writing.
Offerings traveled next to the island of Java to the city of Bogor and spent two full days presenting to nearly 150 parents and staff who work with children and adults with autism. This event was hosted by YKPII (Yayansan Kelluarga Istimewa Indonesia).
Day 1 focused on how existing centers can build their capacity to serve children & adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Karen Kaplan once again facilitated and broke centers and agencies into groups to address key questions (Methodologies, Mission/Vision, Goals for families, staff and students, Development Strategies, Philosophy and Training)
Day 2 focused on helping the student with Autism understand how their bodies change as they move from a child to a young adult. Discussions on nutrition, exercise, body changes, masturbation and feminine hygiene were all explored with teachers and parents. Ashley Davis, credentialed regular education teacher and educational specialist, joined Karen by offering insight into how she presents a Family Life Curriculum to her elementary students in California and how she adapts to meet the needs of the special needs students mainstreamed.
The final large event Offerings participated was hosted by the University Dhyana Pura in Kuta, Bali and Sekolah Kalman Kudas Bali (private public schools). Approximately 70 early education teachers and administrators attended this day long workshop to gain some basic understanding of the characteristics, causes and strategies for supporting the student with Autism, Downs and ADHD.
Special Education Teacher Ashley Davis, again presented with Offerings Executive Director, Karen Kaplan at this event on accommodations and modifications she provides in her public school classrooms for students who are mainstreamed with special needs.
Our Executive Director was also able to make some private observations of children and programs and provide suggestions for developing communication skills, play skills and reducing anxiety in children and understanding and acceptance.
2013-2014 was also an amazing year locally for Offerings being able to offer seven meaningful lectures for parents, grandparents and professionals in the field of ASD. Marin County Office of Education provided a wonderful conference space for all lectures. The seven topics included wisdoms from fathers and grandfathers, suggestions from mothers, information from Dr. Clarissa Kripe on how to look at autism through a medical lens and adjust interventions according to the change in issues that stem from medical concerns, information from Laura Briggin, Director of Cypress School on how to prepare our teens and young adults for the real world of work, information from Dr. Neal Rojas on Evidence Based Autism Interventions, information from Dr. Kari Berquist from Stanford on a parent group approach to evaluating ASD interventions and from Dan Phillips, certified SLP and technology specialist on the newest developments in technology to support communication and learning. WOW!
Our annual North Bay Special Needs Resource Fair was hosted at Marin County Office of Education on March 1st where over 40 resource providers obtained vendor tables to connect to professionals and families. Three amazing panel discussions were held on best practice early intervention, building social skills in school and on the world of adult vocational opportunities.
The 2014-2015 Lecture Series kicks off September 24 with Dr. David Traver, Board Certified Peditrician on employing a Bio-Medical approach to ASD. The series will continue with presentations from Music Therapists, Drama Therapists, Reading Specialists, Technology and Communication experts, Dr. Peter Clive Mundy from the M.I.N.D. Institute in Davis and from College Living Experience Director, Dr. Clare Joy Manning. It will be a great series. The series will once again be hosted at Marin County Office of Education in San Rafael, CA.
Our Annual Resource Fair, will again be held at Marin County Office of Education on Saturday March 14th and focus on bringing together organizations, agencies, speakers to discuss Wellness strategies and supports for those professionals and family members raising and educating children with special needs.
