Arizona bounces San Jose from AFL playoffs
The Arizona Rattlers, defending champion of the Arena Football League, defeated the San Jose SaberCats 59-49 Sunday night ending San Jose's season in the first round of the AFL playoffs.
The Rattlers (16-3) scored two quick touchdowns in the fourth quarter to pull away from a 42-42 score through three quarters.
Early in the fourth quarter, San Jose (13-6) drove to near the goal line before fumbling and losing possession. Arizona scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive, taking the lead for good with 9:22 remaining.
On the following kickoff, the Rattler kick bounced off the post of the goalpost and, as a live ball, Arizona recovered it on the SaberCat 7-yard line. Arizona scored another touchdown making it 56-42.
It's the end of San Jose's season, but perhaps not the end of the AFL season for former Lee County and Wake Forest standout Dennis Godfrey.
Godfrey, a fullback/offensive lineman who signed a one-year contract with San Jose in June and played six games this season after being a player/coach for the Saint Ouen l'Aumone Cougars in France's Elite Football Conference through the winter and spring, is a nominee for the 2013 Arena Football All-Star Game.
An all-star game in Honolulu, Haw. is set for Nov. 16 and an all-star game is tentatively scheduled for Beijing, China.
Godfrey is one of four guards who could make the National (western) Conference team. Voting is ongoing at allstar.afl-global.com.

Drones May Set Off A Flurry of Lawsuits
Director of Privacy and Robotics at the Center for Internet and Society M. Ryan Calo is quoted in the following New York Times article by Somini Sengupta on the potential Fourth Amendment challenges to allowing the civilian use of drones in the United States.
Opening up the skies to the civilian use of drones in the United States is likely to lead to a number of new questions about surveillance by electronic means.
Unmanned aerial vehicles can not only take photos and videos, they can also spot heat sources, read car license plate numbers, and perhaps soon capture other information about people and things down below.
Drones are different because they do not involve physically attaching a device to someone's property, and they are not directly affected by the Supreme Court's opinion. However, said Ryan Calo, a legal scholar, the justices did express concern about the surveillance of individuals by electronic means. For a drone to pick up video of a large public gathering may not invite scrutiny, Mr. Calo said, but it might if a drone captures pictures of particular people at a public protest. He wrote about the legal implications of drones in a recent article.
"It is an interesting signal from the Supreme Court that extensive enough surveillance, even if in public, might trigger Fourth Amendment scrutiny," Mr. Calo said. "The antenna is up."

Heat index could reach 100 Monday afternoon; storms expected Tuesday
By Elizabeth Zavala, Staff Writer : May 20, 2013 : Updated: May 20, 2013 2:00pm
More Information
Weather radar, forecast
Current traffic conditions
Monday's heat will make way for Tuesday night thunderstorms around San Antonio, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures hit 90 a little after the noon hour Monday, but the heat index made it feel about 95.
Joe Baskin, a forecaster in the Austin-San Antonio Weather Forecast Office in New Braunfels, said around 4 to 5 p.m., temperatures could reach between 95 and 97 degrees, putting the heat index near 100.
"That seems pretty hot considering the mild weather we've had," he said.
But an upper-level disturbance will dampen things a little.
There's a 40-percent chance of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop Tuesday afternoon.
"It's just one night of somewhat interesting weather," Baskin said, adding that these types of storms at this time of year always brings with them the chance of large hail and damaging winds.
So far expect temperatures this week to be in the 90s with lows through Sunday in the mid-60s to low 70s.

Mitten crabs are a contentious invasive species. They have high reproductive rates and few natural predators capable of reducing their numbers dramatically.
If alien populations are not controlled, they will continue to threaten native ecosystems, damage unprotected river banks and spread even further. Increased larval densities in estuaries will increase the risk of dispersal into new watersheds via the ballast water of shipping vessels. Therefore it is important to manage existing populations.
Since mitten crabs are eaten in southeast Asia, commercial exploitation could potentially be used as a method of reducing crab numbers.
Zoologists at the Natural History Museum have been involved in assessing whether this would be viable for the mitten crab population in the River Thames. The results of the recent study, published in 2009, concluded that the crabs are fit for human consumption and the population is large enough to be exploited.
The decision of whether to start a Thames mitten crab fishery now rests with governmental organisations such as DEFRA, the Environment Agency and the London Port Health Authority. A joint meeting of the Natural History Museum and the Linnean Society of London, supported by the London Port Health Authority, is being held on 11 March 2010 to discuss the pros and cons of such a fishery.

In his last six seasons, Calipari's teams have won 33 games or more five times. The only time he fell short of 30, the 2011-12 Wildcats advanced to the Final Four. Under Calipari, UK and Memphis' seasons have ended in the Sweet 16 once, the Elite Eight three times, the national semifinals once and once in the national championship game.
Clearly Calipari has coached some special teams, but his most recent one is poised to be on a different level, at least statistically speaking. In a number of different key areas, the 2011-12 Wildcats are putting up unprecedented numbers compared with Coach Cal's last six teams:
- Effective field goal percentage (offense) - Effective field goal percentage (eFG%) is a composite of 2-point and 3-point shooting that takes into account the additional value of making a 3-pointer. Cal's teams have shot better from inside and outside the arc, but never this good from both. UK is hitting 52.8 percent from 2-point range and 36.6 from 3-point range, resulting in an eFG% of 53.3. The 2009-10 UK team had the previous high at 53.1 percent.
- Block percentage (defense) - Every Calipari team since 2005-06 has been among the top 12 in the nation in block percentage, but this year's team blocks a higher percentage of its opponents' shots than any of them. In fact, it's not even close. UK is tops in the nation with a block percentage of 22.2, 4.4 percent better than the 2009-10 Wildcat team that led the nation. Primarily responsible for that is Anthony Davis, whose personal block percentage of 14.6 is 5.5 percent better than Calipari's next best individual shot blocker (Joey Dorsey in 2006-07).
- Effective field goal percentage (defense) - Calipari-coached teams have made their living on defense, ranking in the top 10 nationally in eFG% each season and ranking first twice. The Wildcats are second this season behind Wisconsin, but their eFG% of 40.9 is the best of any of Cal's recent teams. The shot blocking of Davis and company has had UK especially deadly from inside the arc, where opponents are hitting just 38.5 percent. None of Calipari's last six teams have held opponents below 40 percent from 2-point range for an entire season.
- Free throw rate (offense and defense) - On the year, UK has attempted an astounding 175 more free throws than its opponents have and has made more free throws (361) than opponents have even attempted (330). The Wildcats have also committed fewer fouls per game than all but 20 teams in the nation. All that has resulted in both the highest offensive free throw rate (43.8) and lowest defensive free throw rate (27.9) among Calipari-coached teams since 2005-06. The defensive free throw rate is especially impressive since none of those teams have ever posted a number better than 29.7 and a pair have actually been over 40. Moreover, for UK to be able to block over one-fifth of opposing teams' shots and foul so infrequently is pretty amazing.
NOTE: Free throw rate is calculated simply as free throw attempts divided by field goal attempts.
- Free-throw shooting - Not only is UK getting to the line more frequently than Calipari's past teams, they're also hitting them more often too. After a rough start to the season, UK has settled in at the free-throw line. The Wildcats have hit 71.5 percent of their attempts, which is half a percent better than Cal's next best free-throw shooting team (UK in 2010-11).
Based on these numbers, this year's UK team is unique. As conference play wears on and tournament play begins, the Cats will try to prove just how special they can be.

BEAUMONT - Looking to add experience and maturity to his team, Lamar men's basketball coach Pat Knight announced the signings of three junior college players to National Letters of Intent on Friday.
Lamar inked a pair of forwards in Octavius Green and Tyran de Lattibeaudiere, as well as point guard Nimrod Hilliard. Last month Knight signed forward Donovan Ross out of Southwest Mississippi Community College to go along with early signees Anthony Holliday (Cerritos College) and Marcus Owens (Deerfield Beach High School).
Green is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound native of Gainesville, Fla., who comes to Lamar from South Georgia Technical College. Green helped the Jets to a 22-10 record after averaging 12.5 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. His rebound average was second-best in NJCAA Division I.
"Octavius is really versatile," said Knight. "He can score around the bucket but can also go outside and be a threat. His rebounding is what really impressed us and athletically he can play a couple different positions."
Green scored in double-figures 22 times as a sophomore and pulled down at least 10 rebounds on 27 occasions. He posted 24 points and a career-best 19 rebounds in a 119-76 win over Sound Doctrine and scored a season-high 25 points with 15 boards against Chattahoochee Technical College.
Green prepped at Gainesville (Fla.) High School where he posted averages of 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds as a senior for the 24-7 Hurricanes. He was named honorable mention all-area by the Gainesville Sun.
De Lattibeaudiere played two seasons at junior college power Vincennes (Ind.) University, helping the Trailblazers to the 2013 NJCAA Final Four. A 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward, de Lattibeaudiere posted averages of 5.6 points and 4.3 rebounds as a sophomore.
"Tyran is a very good athlete who can rebound, block shots and score around the bucket," said Knight. "He's the prototypical forward that I think you need to have in this league. He has long arms and he didn't have to do it in junior college, but he can go out on the floor and shoot it. He's versatile."
Hilliard is a 6-foot-1, 155-pound guard who played last season at Jacksonville (Texas) College after spending his freshman season at South Dakota. Hilliard posted 8.8 points, 5.2 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game last year for the 22-9 Jaguars.
"We wanted to get some older guards in here to help our younger guys," said Knight. "Nimrod is a really good passer and ball handler. He's a good shooter and he just has a really good feel for the game. We wanted more maturity in the backcourt to get us back where we need to be."
Hilliard scored a season-high 24 points in a 108-105 win over San Jacinto College-Central last season and handed out 11 assists versus Lee College. As a freshman at USD, Hilliard averaged 2.6 points and 2.0 assists in 18 games.
A native of Madison, Wisc., Hilliard was named Mr. Basketball in the state after averaging 24.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.9 steals per game for Madison East High School. Hilliard was all-state honorable mention as a junior with averages of 17 points and seven assists.

Horrible service for bland food
I am writing this review after get pissed off by the service in Phileas Hogg, First time when we went ,we thought may be today is the issue,but even second /third time it is worse even when there are less people,
Extremely pricey ,like lunch(app,main course) is 500+ without drinks!!, no water,no cleaning of plates, you will have to wait for 15 min for the first menu to show up and food will take any where from 45 min+, even bill will take 20+ min to show up !!
Horrible exp for the taste less,spice less sweetish food .
Never going there again!!!

Exotic cuisines
I have been to this place a handful of times. The first time that I visited this place, I came back super impressed. However, on the past couple of occasions, the service has been a bit slack. The food however has thankfully remained good. They have one of the most diverse menus that I have ever seen with a mix of a lot of cuisines. The veg items on the menu are quite good as well and their combo of daal makhni and naan is a must have. I have not had the courage to have the Hogg burger but I must say the regular burger is pretty neat. Meal for two would probably cross the 1000 rupee mark.

Great food and great ambience
This place scores a perfect ten on ten in terms of food, ambience, service and overall experience. The steaks are delicious and portions of food are big. If you're going there with someone with not much of an appetite, then be prepared to help them finish of their order. The interiors, which are based on the inside of a train are great. The staff is very nice and even an unreasonable demand will be met with an extremely polite denial.
Each dish tastes like it is supposed to
We had a team lunch and we just could not stop eating. We ordered a non-veg platter and there were 6 different Kababs in that! Someone ordered veg Kakori Kabab and you could smell the flavour of fresh paneer. I had a Chicken Steak and the taste was really yum. Someone else had ordered minced chicken cooked in wine and it was just amazing. The mocktails were just amazing and I could feel a subtle flavour change with every layer I finished. The beer was more chilled than that of Purple Haze below it.
The theme of old Rail coach and a ship deck was well received. The bar is a tad expensive but the food price is just about right when compared to the quality. This is a great place for not very large teams and even couples.

Very good
Phileas Hog was suggested to me by Poshvine ( they do real time reservations for restaurants and offer discounts), must say a good choice. They offer a variety of cuisines from all around. The ambiance of the place is again very cool and chilled out. Will definitely visit this place again.
Ps- Poshvine offers 25% off at this place :)
Cheers! :)

The best burgers in town
I have been on an epic quest for the most succulent delectable burgers in bangalore. Who would've imagined that the place would be so close to me?
I have searched far and wide, and I can tell you with unwavering confidence, the HoggBurger kicks ass!!
It's got pickles, lettuce, mushrooms, egg, bacon, cheese and the most delicious patty ever... all stacked into a formidable adversary. My only problem with this king among burgers is that once you embark on the taste explosion that is this lovely creation, you must leave all thought of proper table manners behind and revert to the days of yore. There is no way to eat this burger without making a complete mess. But the good news is that it tastes so damned good that you won't care either way.
Have had this burger over a dozen times and I must say, it is the best blr has to offer burgerwise.

Nopes....Not Good....
Went to Phileas Hogg last weekend and was downright disappointed.Had heard a lot about the place but it fell short. Firstly the service was bad. I got a torn menu and the server forgot to serve water or put the cutlery on the table.We ordered Hummus and baba Ghanoush platter and although the pita bread was hot and soft , both the Hummus and baba ghanoush were ice cold and had absolutely no flavour . I could not taste the chick peas in hummus nor the eggplant in baba ghanoush.
Later i had ordered a Saffron Risotto but to my horror it was flavoured with turmeric to give the saffron color . It was so evident that it put me off instantly. They also did not use any of the Arborio, Baldo, Carnaroli, Padano, Roma, or Vialone Nano rice for the dish and it remained a half cooked creamy rice porridge.
I assume the spread is way too large for them to cater and they have standard preparations which they try to fill in various cuisines which is a horror....the only saving grace was the fresh lime soda and the hot pita bread.....rest was bad.....

Simply Superb
Was at Phileas Hogg on Saturday with a few friends finally. Had heard a lot of good things about the restaurant. We tried the Lamb galauti, prawn tempura and the orange chicken and found each one to be excellent. Our main course was the pasta, chelo kabab, grilled chicken and the nalli nihari. Fantastic is what I have to say, probably the best restaurant in the marathalli area. Great value for money with an expansive menu.
Need more options with the desserts though. Overall a stupendous experience with a nice creative decor and we are already planning our next stop at Phileas Hogg.
Back after eons and the food still rocks!!!
I was back at Phileas Hogg after a layoff of over 5 months with a few friends last Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the most of my favourites tasted just the same........"AWESOME". i am amazed at the consistency of the guys there and find it a bit surprising to read other reviews stating the quality of food???
Loved the A-la-Kiev and the burgers.....the galauti was very good and the the khow suey was heavenly.Tried the chelo for the first time and found it quite flavourful and nice....but again.....we need some desserts after a meal like that.......come on guys......whip up something HOGGISH
Will be back this weekend with Family!!......LOVE THE PLACE
Nightmare Strikes @ Phileas Hogg
Had been there for dinner after reading the reviews. But to my surprise, it was a terrible experience. We ordered Kakori kabab for starter n it tasted horrible n the quantity was like peanuts (just 3 kababs).
Then came the main course.
1. Steak: It was stone cold n over-cooked. The quantity was super disappointing.
2. Chicken A La Keiv: Was dripping in oil. The quantity was sooooo less.
3. Grilled Fish: It was not grilled but deep fried. Called the waiter and he said grilled was not available. So they got us fried fish. Why on earth did they ever take the order of grilled fish when it was not available? Got it changed to Chicken A King and it tasted simply terrible and
the quantity was super sad.
And for 1600/- for the entire meal (including 3 cocktails), no value for money what-so-ever. Never again Phileas Hogg. Never again!!!
Terrible service & food does not make up for it
I have two words for you-Don't go!.
THE GOOD: (a) Ambience; (b) Drink variety; (c) Dessert.
THE BAD: (a) Slow service; (b) Starters served without cutlery despite reminders; (c) Water served after starters
THE UGLY: (a) Wine served with A FLY in it. (b) Replaced the wine but not apologetic enough to not charge for it.
Maybe it was a bad Friday for them but it was WORSE for us. Not going back!!!

Caution : Renovation in progress
We went over last weekend (28th), and found the building is in absolute disaster state, right from the life area. Lift was not working and the building was in dilapidated state. Horrible. Ofcourse the better part was the food and service.
But I was not amused when the bill did not consider Amex selects offer (which is also mentioned here in burrp).
Amazing Food | Great Service | Value for Money
I had been to Hogg last week, and I should say the ambience is very nice. The food is really good, and like others have already mentioned - the servings are huge :). The service was pretty good, didn't feel like they took long to serve the food. They probably are working on improving their service - this is good.
The managers "Ritesh & Arish" are very courteous and friendly - they come around to ensure you are well taken care and fed. You should visit this place for sure.
Snail-paced service
If Mr Hogg went exploring around the word at the pace his name-sake restaurant serves, i'm afraid he wouldn't really've gotten around much.
Was working from home last friday, so decided to take the opportunity to visit the place for lunch with wife and kids. The place was full of big office groups out for friday lunch but found one empty table. The menu had a wide selection of conti / indian/ oriential/mexican fare, which always makes me suspicious and wary. Anway, we went ahead and ordered. The salad came in relatively quick time but then the wait began. After multiple reminders to the staff and then finally to the manager, the food started trickling in - with a gap of about 15 minutes between each dish (with my modest cheese burger being the last). The food was fairly average - the beef burger patty badly overlooked and hard as a cow's hide, the pasta had way too much cheese in the sauce though the oriental fish was fairly OK.
The good thing was that the manager was profusely apologetic about the delay (said it was due to some breakdown in the kitchen) and gave us a complimentary appetizer and a dessert (which was a life-saver since i had to leave behind most of my burger) - the one extra star in the rating is for that.
Good Food , Huge Serving Sizes , Little Slow
It was a good experience. food was good with lots of variety. good value for money.parking at your own risk.everybody enjoyed the buffet lunch.desert variety not there but after a superb starter, we were almost full to take the main course .you can visit it for sure.
Amazing food!!
Thr are very few places in blore which have such relaxed ambience, good service and amazing food. This place gives the best continental dishes. Been here a number of times and it sets a new limit everytime. I love the grilled chicken with my choice of pepper sauce specially. Even their drinks menu is great and reasonably priced. Recommend for a quiet dinner.

Decent food, slow service
I've been here twice and both the times, the food has been upto the mark. However, both the times the service has been extremely slow. During the last outing, the service was so slow that I saw 4 batches of people getting up and leaving during service - they still had to wait 20mins at the counter to close their bills! Frankly the place seemed understaffed. Recommended only if they improve the service!

Service par excellence!
Imagine a scenario..
You are at work and you are craving for a Steak. You call up Philleas Hogg and order for a steak. I send my driver over to pick it up. There is a minor glitch...which was actually a BIG glitch!
Could u imagine having a steak without a steak knife?! I was distraught.
Guess what?! The guys over at the restaurant were kind enough to send their expensive cutlery with the steak!! THE STEAK WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!
I say these kind actions make the restaurant special. Its the kind of place where you know ur being given the best.
Phileas Hogg...is THE place! Highly recommended!

Good value for money
It's good value for money, at least whatever I've tasted (which would only be dishes from the european/continental section). My friend had a penne pasta in white sauce with green vegetables, I ordered a beef in Burgundy sauce with mushrooms. We also had lime sodas, sweet and salty, and I packed up a shepherd's pie and took it home
The pasta sauce was really scrumptious, unfortunately my friend had suddenly decided to turn vegetarian, otherwise, it was just crying out loud for some nice smoky bacon. My beef in burgundy sauce was AWESOME, with nice small pieces, and a generous amount of mushrooms. The mashed potatoes were just right, crisp on top, soft below, buttery with a touch of pepper which went well with the sauce. The shepherd's price was pretty good too.
Decor wise it's got nice pictures, to go with the concept. What I really liked was the relaxed atmosphere...we went at a time when nobody was around, and the waiters let us take 3 hrs over a simple lunch :). Typical Bangalore :)
This seems to have got mixed reviews, but the continental section is highly recommended. It's comparatively cheap as well.. Only minus point is that it's in Marathahalli, and it's adrag to go there from Koramangala :(
Good Food and excellent taste
Me and My friend decided to try something different on a weekend afternoon . On looking out in Burrp, finally decided to go for this..This restaurant is above purple haze in marthahalli ... Nice ambiance and the menu was completely different with quiet good short details on the food ..That helped us to choose the food ...the food came after 20 min exactly said in the menu..(some items are described with time taken for serving after the order)...went for bugrandy (chicken soaked in a gravy overnight )this was served with smashed potatos..This is the first time i am tasting the different chicken variety and it melted in my mouth...it was so soft..my friend who would never eat more that two small piece was competing with me :) ...bit expensive ..but the taste worth the money...

Super food, super place!
still can't get over the meal... we started off with their signature cocktails called passepartout (hot!) & around the world along with some kakori kababs & garlic n wasabi prawns - mama mia! just the right consistency and the perfect amount of wasabi in the prawns... ordered a couple corona's and tucked into the raan e hogg - never had better (the only one that comes anywhere close is the one they used to serve at the royal afghan at windsor manor)... too full by this time but had to try the beef burgundy - tender n full of flavour served with the creamiest mashed potatoes... the waiter recommended the whole wheat date n walnut cake but it just seemed too much at the time... the ambience was great and the pricing was unbelievably reasonable for such awesome food & portions... heading back this weekend!

Great food and service
I visited this place for dinner yesterday, and I must say that I am really impressed. We ordered a satay, an american, an Italian and a Chinese dish. While the satay was just ok, the other dishes were really good and had good quantity. The service was also good and the place was neat. So, I would recommend this place to anyone who likes meat. For 3, the average price of the meal came to Rs300/- without alcohol.
Excellent....and still improving!!!
Was there again for the 7th time in just over 3 months and the food was as always....fantabulous!! Tried a few of their signature coctails....flavourful and potent...just the way cocktails should be!! It was a welcome change from the normally watered down drinks that most restaurants serve.
We tried the hot pot soup.....very nice!I tried the grilled fish this time round!! Mildly flavoured with a rich and creamy lemon butter sauce....excellent!! The Raan e Hogg was just yummy. One of my friends tried the fully loaded Hogg burger....the guy almost ate his fingers!
I guess we just love this place and everytime we come back the food just keeps getting better!!
Kudos team Hogg!!....way to go!! Will be back for more soon....

not worth a visit for continental food,
we hit this place for a quick bite on a weekday afternoon. We tried beef burgundy and fish wt lemon butter sauce ....
The fish was dead long before it hit our palte and the oil used was cheap, the sauce was sour and while asked, they waiter said the chf used lemon generously and also admited while poruing lemon juice, he had overdone it
people in shabby clothes move to and fro
Beef burgundy tasted like indian curry wit onion, mushroom and small chunks of beef
no salt/spice in mashed potato and it was from freezer
The waiter was rude, gotta call him humpty times to give an update on the food and water was not refilled even after humptt reqyest
finly the great chef arrived and said no he did not make a mistake and the fish was fresh
i told taht the waiter told an another story
to top it all, they gave complementary icecream, we rejected it, payed the bill and waleked out
My verdict : not worth a visit for continental food, fusion indian food in continental in continental name ........ with confused and RUDE STAFF
Not gonna visit this place again.........

wow all the way!!
we went to phileas hogg for dinner last weekend and the experience was perfect on all counts.
although the flight of stairs up is not so flattering, once you step inside you are welcome to a pleasant looking place. the ambiance is pretty warm, and no i am not talking about the absence of air conditioning here :)
they have a pretty interesting menu, with a varied global cuisine on offer.
we started off with a chicken hariyali kabab. the chicken was tender and juicy, and we finished it in no time!
for the mains, we ordered a grilled chicken and a chicken makhani (this comes with 3 mini naans). we opted for french fries instead of the mashed potatoes for the side with the grilled chicken. the sauce was excellent and went perfectly with the chicken. the fries could not be flawed either. all in all an excellent dish.
moving to the chicken makhani, all i can say is that this chicken gravy would give any popular north indian restaurant a run for its money. this was absolutely perfect!! it was so good that we totally ignored the dal makhani that came alongside.
we skipped the dessert as we were too full by then.
based on my first visit, i completely agree with another reviewer here who has said that this is the best restaurant in marathahalli. we'd be back to try out the other stuff on the menu and i am hoping that the experience turns out as perfect!
Decent..could be better
Went on a friday nite, Fairly Ok for the price
The Good
Comfortable seats
Tried their special cocktail which was good as well as the soup, Chicken Satay was fine.
Main course - Pizza pie was delicious,Club sandwich had adequate portions,Keema Pav was tangy
Skipped the dessert.
Cuisine - Wide range to choose ,Dishes were served in reasonable timeframe
The not so good
Nachos did not have sufficient cheese.Tacos/Burritos did not have sufficient flavor.
I wonder why none of the dishes were hot atleast warm to say the least.Service was ordinary nothing to really talk about.

A happy Snapdeal customer
Went to Phileas Hogg with Snapdeal vouchers.Interesting decor. Very nice appetizers, especially their versions of nachos and Buffalo Wings. We also tried their steak in pepper sauce with stirfried veggies. Very nice presentation and lovely sauces. One suggestion would be to provide a bread basket. A very nice and relaxed experience overall.
One of the best in Bangalore!!!!
This is our third visit to Phileas Hogg and the food just keeps getting better!! Kudos to the team at the Hogg to keep up this amazing consistency with all their dishes (with a menu that spans across European, American, Indian and the Oriental cuisines
.I seriously wonder how)!!! We have tried out the various cuisines on offer and we firmly believe that Phileas Hogg is the best restaurant around the Marathalli/ Belandur area. Their burgers are definitely the best in town
..I would rate them way higher than the ones at Hard Rock as well. The Khow Suey is right up there with the best
enormously flavorful and delicious. The Raan e Hogg, I am told is marinated for a whopping 72 hours
and every bite of the raan lets you savour all the delectable spices in the marinade
.incredible dish. The continental fare is just stupendous
though we would like a few more options with our pastas. The only flaw in the experience is that the restaurant is tricky to find (nestled in the fourth floor also makes it quite warm during the summer)
I have been told by my foodie circle that the Indian and Oriental fare is really good as well with my experience so far, I am not surprised!! (Thats one for my next visit?) The Bar also serves up some delightful cocktails along with the regular fare.
Overall the food and the ambience has been spot on .and as residents of Marathalli, we hope that the restaurant keeps serving up this truly exciting fare!!
Cheers to Phileas Hogg ..the freshest restaurant in town.

Worthy place
Love their continental menus and the starters are a delight really - especially the potato bundle.
The pastas are very well cooked - overall good value for the slightly expensive money you pay.
The ambience is totally new and well made and the service is very good and friendly.
Definite YES for not-so-large official eat-outs.
Bad food
I am all for trying new places, so thought will try this firang sounding place. It has an interesting decor, they have segregated the tables with maps, that looks nice.
Now the bad part, there is no a/c which is fine considering bangalore weather but there is almost no ventilation, gets stuffy even at night with 22 degrees. Menu is interesting but the food is stale, bland, cooked in bad oil and leaves a horrible aftertaste. Wish there were better options on outer ring road and they need to focus on food more than decor.

Loved the Ambience
Passepartout. The name did the trick. That is the drink I tried, blended beautifully with Chillies and Vodka.Loved how the theme has been played out. The Hummus was really good and considering this was not an exclusive mediterranean outlet, totally loved it. The music playing was soothing yet vibrant and food was well served and yum. All in All, I had a wonderful evening and am really looking forward to my next visit there. Definitely a MUST GO
AWFUL experience
I visited this place last weekend with a few friends and we had a terrible experience from the get-go. Firstly, the elevator wasn't working so we had to trudge up to the 4th floor. Next, the service staff were demotivated and seemed pre-occupied - perhaps because of the stifling heat of the place (no A/C). When we were able to place our orders and the food finally arrived it was virtually inedible. The meat was bordering on spoiling and the sauces were lacklustre. To make matters worse, one of our group had a bad case of food poisoning. I would not recommend this place to anyone! A big double thumbs-down!
Mediocre ambience, poor service
Our experience in this restaurant last week was very bad. In spite of the late hours (10:00 pm), the restaurant was warm, there was no A/C, which I think is because it is on the roof top (btw, I wonder whether the whole construction on the roof top is legal; but yeah, we are in Blore :-)
In order to avoid intermediate delays which essentially kills the appetite, we ordered our starters and main-course together. But to our disappointment, after we finished our starters (30 min after we placed the order), the waiter came and checked with us the main course menu. And then it took another 40 minutes for the main-course to arrive, all this is in spite of the fact that only two tables were occupied.
This has been a bad experience and we have decided not to go to this place again.
Great theme & ambience, decent food
Visited this place on the eve of the BBMP polls (a 'dry' night). But that didn't shrivel our dinner experience when it came to the overall experience. The place is located opp. the innovative multiplex, and is above Yo China and Purple Haze. The reataurant's theme, based on the travels of Mr.Fogg, is delightful, and there certainly seems to have been some thought behind this venture. So there's a part of the restaurant that's shaped like the bow of a ship, while another portion gives you the feeling of sitting inside a railway coach (not the shattered, roach infested on our govt gives us, these are far better).
Food wise, from the byline, you can guess that they serve multi cuisine. I'm always a little wary of these 'multi-cuisine' places as more often that not they end up botching the whole thing up. Not entirely true in this case. From the starters we had, the galouti kabab was good, but Minestrone soup was very uninspiring and blah. The satay tasted good, but it certainly wasn't grilled but pan-fried. The pizza-pie was a nice inclusion in the menu, and the chicken and bacon in it cerainly made the dish well worth the 25 min wait (mentioned in the menu).
For the mains, we tried a variety of dishes: Macher jol, Burgundy steak, Khow Suey, and Seafood risotto. The risotto was a disaster - dry, hard, and totally tasteless. The macher jol tasted nice, but seemed to be heavily tomato-based, and was deep red instead of yellow (which is what I expected it to be). The khow suey, a noodle dish from Burma was fantastic. It's served with 6 bowls of different condiments like garlic, coriander, chilies, etc. Not only was this exotic, but it was actually good. The burgundy steak was also nice, but what we loved about it was the mash that was served with it. Creamy and delightful!
For desserts, they had strawberry souffle, orange souffle and fried ice cream (among the speacial dishes). Unfortunately, orange had run out, and so strawberry and the fried ice cream it was. Both were ok. Overall, great ambience, while in the food department, while some dishes were terrific, there needs some work to be done on some of the dishes.

Worth a Try...
We went there yesterday after lunch hour, almost in the evening. Even then they allowed us. Nice of them :-)
The setting was different and food was good. Service was fast. Cost was reasonable. Food Quantity was good.
I had these items.
Mocktail (Mixed Fruit Mojito) - Good
Garlic Bread - Good, but can be better
Veg Cutlet - Very Good
Grilled Chicken with Pepper Sauce - Very Good
Downsides: There was no A/C. The restaurant was in 4th floor, and lift was not working. However I can excuse these small -ves for the +ve food :-)

Totally worth checking out this one!
We always had the gripe that there weren't many decent eateries around where we live and the closest we can find good choice of food would be Indiranagar!..Well, I'm delighted to announce 'not anymore'! Having discovered this totally chic place next to 'yo china' on Ring Road (where the very mediocre Ristorant Italia used to be) I am totally happy!
Phileas Hogg is a neat lil roof top eatery with a comfortable decor and boasts of a truly 'global' menu...right from Indonesian, vietnamese to the more popular italian, mexican items.
Since we were there for d first time, we didn't want to be too experimentative and decided to go safe. I settled for grilled fish and my husband ordered a grilled chicken. The food came looking and smelling delicious with a generous splattering of lemon butter sauce. The portion was just right and both our grills came with sauted veggies n mashed potatoes. My fish was crusty on the top and fleshy inside, just the way I like it and my husband's chicken too was succulent. We simply loved the food and regretted not having ordered something more fancy. Next time for sure.
Wait staff was friendly and smiling...totally worth visiting guys!
good food
Went there yesterday. The food was good, and more importantly unique. Most of the dishes we tried out had an unique taste, including the chinese!! Ambiance and service also deserve 5 star rating. And the rates are very reasonable, and offers a very good value for money.
Now the bad part - no a/c!!! and that's the only fact that can ruin the otherwise good experience. i went there on a Sunday afternoon the temperature was already 30+. Given the fact that temperature of Bangalore is fast reaching Delhi's levels, this is one point they should seriously consider.
Nice ambience, good food
Celebrated a birthday with family at Phileas Hogg. Great ambience and good food. Service takes a while and they had already run out of some of the dishes we wanted to try out - so by the time we got our main course, the kids were almost dropping off to sleep. The continental menu, starters and salads were good stuff. Prices are ok. A weekend buffet menu would be a nice option. All in all - a good experience!

BOE presents growth banners to schools
Several county schools were presented with growth banners based on their test scores for the 2011-12 school year during the Rutherford County Board of Education meeting on Tuesday.
The schools were recognized for meeting expected growth, having high growth or receiving a special designation based on the ABC's accountability model. The model evaluates schools based on student performance on standardized tests.
Schools that received banners were:
•Ellenboro Elementary - School of Distinction, High Growth
• Rutherford Early College High School- Honor School of Excellence, Expected Growth
• Chase High School- School of Distinction, High Growth
• Rutherford Opportunity Center- High Growth
• Cliffside Elementary School- School of Progress, Expected Growth
•East Rutherford Middle School- School of Progress, Expected Growth
•R-S Central High School- School of Progress, Expected Growth
• Spindale Elementary School- School of Progress, Expected Growth
Other excitement included the swearing in of Re-elected board members Barry Gold, Jackie Hampton and Ritchie Garland conducted by Hazel Haynes, county clerk for the Rutherford County Board of Commissioners.
Recognitions included Drew Terrell, senior at Chase High School, who was named National Beta Club Secretary. Terrell was presented with the official Beta Club officer banner during the meeting, which will be placed in the commons area at Chase.
Amy Owens, teacher at East
See boe/ Page A7
Rutherford High School, was also recognized for being named the 2011-12 North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Outstanding Secondary Mathematics Teacher. This is the third time that Owens has received this title.
Pam Crowe, instructional coach; Kendra Greenlee, instructional technology facilitator and Darlyne Perry, kindergarten teacher, gave a presentation on the new format for kindergarten through second grade report cards.
"We are using FileMaker Pro which is a database for report cards. The instructional support team has worked with the teachers on using this new technology and each of them have FileMaker on their laptops", Greenlee said. "It is set up so that they can update the report cards anywhere that they have an internet connection."
The report cards have been revised to correlate with the Common Core State Standards.
"The new report cards are both parent and teacher friendly. They are easy to use and the information is saved automatically so you don't risk losing it when you go to work on something else," Perry said. "Parents can quickly see how we are applying interventions and enrichments for the student. The parents that I have spoken to love it and say it is easy to understand and read.
The meeting ended with Janet Mason's superintendent report. Mason presented a two minute video clip that was put together by Brian Bridges to show the impact of the 1:1 Laptop Initiative and other technologies on the school system. The video will be shown in Raleigh today during a reception for schools recognized as digital innovators.
"Rutherford County Schools was recognized as an Innovator in Digital Learning. Tomorrow a team of educators from our system will travel to Raleigh to be honored at a reception where this video will be shown," Mason said. "I think this might be the best superintendent's report I have ever given."
Items of consent for the meeting included the human resources report, Head Start program information summary and a pasture lease agreement.
The next regular board meeting will be on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m.

nice but thinner than expected
This ring is beautiful and the diamonds are high grade but it's much thinner and smaller than expected.Read More
Oh so pretty and very girly. Love it.Read More
Nice ring!
I had to send it back, though. It didn't look good with the pear shaped diamond ring I was trying to match it too.Read More
Love it!
Looks exactly like the picture ! It's a lil thinner than I imagined but still beautiful and fits my other ring perfectly. Definitely worth the price . That's my first order from Overstock , I would buy again , everything was good, the delivery, the tracking, They earned a satisfied customer !!Read More
Loved this band!
Fit like a dream and beautiful! Especially for this price I could not have asked for more.Read More
Bought 2 as a surround and love them!
My engagement ring was my great grandmother's (Art Deco)and I needed a ring that was curved to fit with it. I saw this ring and of course I loved the price! I bought 2 and love them! They're dainty and sparkly and beautiful!Read More
Very dainty and pretty.
I would not recommend purchasing the warranty. I lost a stone a few days after receiving the ring and the warranty required that I send the ring in for replacement. This band was already soldered to my engagement ring, and I didn't want to send them both in. Plus, my wedding was in a week. So, I had to pay to get it fixed at the jewelers anyways. It was only $30 to get a new stone at the jewelers and they had it done in time for the wedding. It is pretty and looks good with my saphire engagement ring. I love how dainty it is. I just wouldn't waste money on the warranty for a ring of this quality and price.Read More
Very light and fits my sapphire ring perfectly
I've only worn this ring for two weeks now. I got it for an extra discount and paid about $XXX for it. So far I am very happy with this ring! The band is very thin so it fits nicely against my 3 sapphire ring without overpowering it. Even tho the diamond chips are small they have a lot of sparkle and really make my ring set look extra nice, and definitely more expensive than they actually are! A ring like this would cost twice as much at a jewelers- believe me I looked at quite a few stores- so I am very very happy!!Read More
i liked the ring, but it is too small
I love the look of the ring, however, it is too small and will not fit my finger. I am going to send it back and hopefully I can get a larger size. I have been so busy with Christmas and New Years that I have not had a chance to send it back yet.Read More

If you missed them, here they are. It's your chance to find
out what was hot in medical tourism in 2012 and the topics that attracted
Is destination attractiveness the new buzz phrase in medical tourism? Have we
abandoned "medical tourism clusters"... Let's hope so!
Not a great deal apparently.... The world recession dampened the enthusiasm for
tourism of all types but there's still plenty of hype out there.
Yep... the hype continues. Let's hope that 2013 is the year when reality bites
in the medical tourism numbers game and the pundits and speculators get out
their calculators and do some basic Maths.
But many around the industry are still convinced that it is. Never forget... "If
you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you
run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."
"When I go to medical tourism conferences, I am always surprised at how many
people are in marketing. It seems like an industry much more dominated by the
business and the marketing people rather than the healthcare people."
Is the mantra of "global healthcare" just a meaningless phrase when it comes to
medical tourism? Regional medical tourism, and domestic medical travel are
becoming the reality.
The Middle East has proved to be a rich source of patients for medical tourism
destinations. Will the building of more "Healthcare Cities" affect patient flow

Yes... says one of the UK's leading medical travel facilitators. But will it
ever happen? And who will be the regulators?

McLintock! is a 1963 comedy Western starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, and loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The film is famous (or infamous) for its two spanking scenes, in which mother and daughter are each paddled with coal shovels: the daughter by her suitor, the mother by her estranged husband.z

Great movie! Thanks for the upload!
MY FAVORITE Duke movie…not to mention I love Maureen O'Hara as well….
This is a good one, but I think I'd have to go with Rooster Cogburn as being my favorite.

Protect Stream Banks and Ponds with Vegetation
Septic Systems: Out of Sight -- Out of Mind -- and Out of Pocket
Protect Stream Banks and Ponds with Vegetation
By Jesse Randall, ISU forestry specialist, and
Rich Clayton, ISU fisheries specialist
Iowans can implement low-cost yet high-yield solutions to improve stream and pond quality and aesthetics on their properties. Some estimates place the number of farm and acreage ponds in Iowa in excess of 90,000. Many acreage owners find a pond or stream on their property is a source of pride, enjoyment and can add to the property's value. This interface between water and soil can also be a source of long-term problems if not managed properly.
Acreage owners use ponds for a variety of reasons including swimming, fishing and ice skating. Properly managed ponds will yield years of enjoyment. The largest single problem that an Iowa pond owner faces is balancing nutrient inputs. With proper vegetation management these nutrients can be partially captured on land, which can greatly reduce midsummer pond vegetation problems. In Iowa, phosphorous and nitrogen additions are the primary nutrients that affect pond health. These additions are not solely due to agricultural runoff. Some is "urban" runoff from lawn fertilization, grub and weed control, as well as the vegetation cut by mowers.
Five inexpensive options can control or limit sources of unwanted nutrients. Leave a grass "filter" strip that is mowed annually (to control woody growth) rather than weekly. Infrequent mowings will help slow overland water flow, which carries phosphorous and nitrogen as well as silt directly into the pond.
Canada geese are a major source of nutrients in ponds and can be the direct cause for midsummer algae blooms. Limit local geese populations by leaving a tall grass strip along the edge of your pond. Canada geese prefer areas that allow them to see approaching predators. A tall grass strip near the water's edge will not be attractive to them.
If mowing is desired, begin mowing close to the pond after the major spring weather has passed. Then limit the number of mowings and set the mower at a higher setting. Blow grass clippings onto the land rather than into the water. As grass clippings decay, they are a source of nutrients acting as a fertilizer.
Use the small contour differences around the pond to reduce inputs particularly if you can identify where overland water enters the pond. These areas are "hotspots" where grass should be left unmowed or mowing is limited as described above. The width of the filter strip can vary depending on the topography and the watershed extent. Our recommendation is to make it as wide as you can without compromising other activities.
If all mowing is discontinued, woody vegetation encroachment will occur over time. Landowners can control the type and density of woody vegetation by strategically planting beneficial trees and shrubs. Woody vegetation can shade areas of the pond to help control temperature and sunlight (influencing pond vegetation), provide habitat cover for wildlife and songbirds, increase pond bank stabilization and provide the homeowner added privacy.
Recent research has begun to focus on in-stream flow and the impacts of active stream bank erosion. Acreage owners often do not own enough of the stream length to realize large downstream changes in water quality. However, they can take steps to limit siltation and nutrient inputs. When multiple adjacent acreage owners combine efforts, improvements can help the overall stream health.
One of the first improvements is livestock control. In Iowa, livestock are often in pasture areas adjacent to streams. Restricting livestock from the stream area will allow vegetation (grasses and woody vegetation) to establish and begin to hold the stream bank. In severe cases, where stream banks have begun to erode creating steep bank situations, a more direct conservation approach is needed.
Stream revetments are one simple method landowners can create by themselves with tools and materials common on most acreages. Stream revetments are structures that slow the water, which reduces the stream's power and causes the stream to add silt in strategic areas that can then be planted with fast growing vegetation such as willows, buttonbush and various sedges. A revetment can also modify the stream bank slope so it can handle the energy from large water flow events.
Figures 1-3 illustrate a before, just following a flood event, and two- month follow-up of a local stream bank revetment project that was installed as part of an Iowa State University class. The project began by anchoring 7 to 10 foot tall red cedar trees (top of the tree pointing downstream) with several wraps of wire to old T-posts that were driven into the stream bed where the bank meets the water. Trees were overlapped to create a continuous row. During floods, sediment was deposited behind the cedar trees, which added to the bank. Willow and buttonbush shrubs were planted in these silted areas. Figure 2 shows that grasses and forbs have begun to grow and further stabilize the bank and "hide" the once open bank face. Once established, revetments need only minor maintenance -- cutting back the willows in the first few years to stimulate root growth and expansion of the trees. These 12-16 inch cuttings, if clipped in early spring before bud break, can be driven directly into the soil bank (leaving 1-2 inches above the soil surface) where they will root and grow into new seedlings.
In time, these revetments will grow and expand to create wildlife corridors, help moderate stream temperatures, and improve the stream's capacity for aquatic life. For more information, see Iowa State's natural resource ecology and management extension site at www.nrem.iastate.edu/extension/
Septic Systems: Out of Sight -- Out of Mind -- and Out of Pocket
By Tom Glanville, ISU Professor of Ag and Biosystems Engineering
They are usually out of sight - so are easily forgotten - but septic systems do need maintenance, and failing to do it can lead to costly repairs.
Septic systems have two main components: a tank - whose main purpose is to trap floating solids and sludge; and a soil or sand filter (variously referred to as soil absorption trenches, leaching field, buried sand filter, filter mound or occasionally a mechanical treatment unit). The filter reduces bacteria and soluble pollutants in septic tank effluent before the liquid is discharged into the soil (preferred) or (when soils are not suitable) into a ditch or stream. The most important maintenance task on the tank component of the system is to have it checked and pumped out periodically. Though chemical and bacterial action inside the tank help to break down solids, the rate of decomposition is generally too slow to keep up with the amount coming in, and so a gradual buildup of solids is to be
expected. If the tank is allowed to fill with solids, then these damaging particles will be flushed into the filter/disposal component of the system, causing plugging - followed by development of wet areas in the disposal area - and ultimately requiring costly
excavation and reconstruction.
The frequency of tank pumping varies with size of the tank, population of the household discharging into the tank, and whether or not a garbage disposal (which increases the rate of solids loading on the tank) is used. Guidelines (http://www.nesc.wvu.edu/pdf/ww/septic/pl_fall04.pdf) published by Pennsylvania State University suggest that a 750 gallon tank serving a household of three people should be pumped approximately every 2.6 years, while a 1,000 gallon tank serving the same size household is predicted to need pumping every 3.7 years. If the household size increases to six persons, recommended pumping frequencies for the above tank sizes increase to 1.0 and 1.5 years respectively. If a garbage disposal discharges into the septic system, more frequent pumping will probably be necessary.
Be sure to ask the technician to check the condition of septic tank baffles each time the tank is pumped. Baffles help to retain solids inside the tank. The highly corrosive environment inside the tank can damage the baffles, resulting in a continuous and damaging discharge of solids.
The benefits of using special additives to maintain or restore septic tank performance continue to be debated by product vendors, researchers and environmental health officials (http://www.nesc.wvu.edu/pdf/ww/septic/additives_sfqw02.pdf). While some research has identified possible benefits, other work has found some additives to be detrimental. New products continue to be developed and marketed, and most experts agree further research is needed. According to information posted on the website of the USEPA – funded National Environmental Services Center at West Virginia University, "Claims made on the effectiveness of additives to either eliminate pumping of a septic tank or restore permeability of soil absorption systems are unsubstantiated. No product will allow a homeowner to escape a regular septic tank pumping and maintenance schedule."
As noted above, several different types of soil/sand filters are used in Iowa to further treat household sewage before discharging it into the soil or a nearby water course. Maintenance on these so-called "secondary" treatment devices varies, but many depend on gravity drainage to deliver septic tank effluent to and throughout the secondary treatment area. Gravity flow control devices, often called distribution boxes, splitter boxes, drop boxes, or dosing siphons, rely on perfectly level installation to split the sewage flow and evenly distribute it across the surface area of trenches or filter beds. If the splitter box becomes unlevel — due to poor installation, settling, frost heave or lawn maintenance equipment traffic — much of the flow may be directed into a small portion of the treatment area, causing local overloading, wet areas and plugging of soil or sand. To avoid this problem, the splitter box should be checked periodically to ensure that it is level and not obstructed by solids.
For further information on septic system design, installation and maintenance, contact your local county environmental health sanitarian, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, or check out the excellent publications posted on the Septic Systems page of the National Environmental Services Center.

|CAMA shuts down
|Written by Michael J. Knell
TORONTO (29 June 2012) - The Canadian Appliance Manufacturers Association has closed its doors having been muscled out of its long-time role in the industry by the U.S.-based Association of Household Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).
The majority of CAMA's member companies resigned their membership in the wake of an announcement by AHAM in early May that it will establish a Canadian office sometime this year.
"This was done without EFC's support," Electro-Federation Canada president and chief executive officer Jim Taggart told Home Goods Online. "This was clearly a case of an American association acting at the expense of a Canadian association."
He stressed EFC was not consulted beforehand and wasn't a friendly move on AHAM's part.
"This closure is a direct result of the Washington D.C.-based Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers opening a Canadian branch office targeted for July 1st, 2012," Taggart said. "Due to AHAM's expansion into Canada, this has resulted in many CAMA members resigning from EFC despite a long-standing relationship."
CAMA became an EFC council in 1995, although it had served the industry for at least 30 years prior to that.
Over the past decade or so, most Canadian major appliance producers were swallowed up by the multi-nationals and actual manufacturing has been consolidated and rationalized across North America to the extent that very little actual manufacturing takes place in this country. It should be noted that the parent companies of Whirlpool Canada, Electrolux Canada and Mabe Canada - the three largest appliance resources in the Canadian market - are also members of AHAM.
Taggart said the remaining CAMA members will be served through another EFC council, the Consumer Electronics Marketers of Canada (CEMC).
Shutting down CAMA also resulted in the lay-off of its staff, including vice president Larry Moore; association manager Sharon Borda; and, vice president of technical services Richard Martel. Borda has joined the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association's secretariat.
"I am proud of all CAMA council staff and their many outstanding accomplishments. Our CAMA staff provided many services to our members and they will be sorely missed for their contributions in the Canadian market," Taggart said.
In a statement posted on the EFC web site, Moore said: "I am proud of our accomplishments in codes and standards; our statistical research program delivering a comprehensive annual trends book, seminars and our monthly Issues & Updates publication.
"We have made great strides in key areas such as extended producer responsibility and consumer product safety," he added.
Taggart said CAMA's Major Appliance Industry Trends & Facts report will be discontinued, although the updates to the end of June will be published shortly.
He also said EFC will continue to be a strong association in the Canadian marketplace focusing on the electrical, electronics and telecommunications sectors.
EFC will also explore the possibility of service beyond year-end 2012 under a Consumer Council banner.

LaxPower: For the Fan. For the Sport.
Lax Coach Mike: Full Field 1v1 Add One
1. You can also begin the drill with a simple ground ball battle between two players, with the winner taking the first offensive fast break.
2. Or you might start the drill with a ride/clear in one end for to a clearing pass to the player entering the field from the midfield line.
Coaching Tips
1. Work in quick, fast break transition, so keep it moving.
2. If the ball is thrown away, just yell "clear" and have the goalie quickly start it back down the other end.
3. Work on the principles of offensive spacing in 4v3, 5v4, and 6v5, with outside shoulder passes at one end and identifying the open man.
4. Work on the principles of even play on defense, slides and recovery, and loud communication on the end that is 'even' through most of the drill.

Have gluten free options but asked about other dressings and was rude about it.
Anna was a wonderful server who explained in detail all the GF options and what we should stay away from. Almost everything was GF anyway but there was a farro salad she steered us away from. So nice & accommodating. Very thankful for restaurants like these!
Really nice meal. In summer, there's a very nice back deck. The restaurant has very knowledgeable staff and they easily accommodated my gluten and dairy free needs and made me a wonderful meal.

MacBook Pro memory upgrade
I'm studying graphic design in college, and I've had my PC for 4 years. I'm now thinking of buying a MacBook Pro 15": 2,16 GHz.
It comes with 1 GB RAM, I was thinking of buying it with an extra 1 GB RAM memory upgrade, so I'd have a 2 GB memory. It's because I use alot of heavy software simultaniously, like Illustrator, Photoshop, etc etc.
Should I indeed buy it with the 1 GB memory upgrade so it would come with 2 GB memory? What are the advantages? Does it make it faster?
So, you're trying to decide between purchasing with 1 GB and upgrading to 2 GB yourself or buying with 2GB?
I bought mine with 1 GB and upgraded to 2 GB myself because it was cheaper, but buying with the upgrade gets you a faster processor and more video RAM. It sounds like you could use all that, so if you have the money, I'd get the upgraded MBP. I wouldn't get the upgrade to 3 GB. At $575, you can definitely buy cheaper in the aftermarket.
Apple does need to upgrade some of its components. The graphics card is very dated already.
Much cheaper to upgrade yourself. Order the memory at the same time as your purchase. Install the extra memory as soon as you receive it.
I did think about buying the 15" one that already came with 2 GB at first, but I really can't afford it. In my country the 15" MacBook Pro with 1 GB costs 2731 dollars, whereas the 15" MacBook Pro with 2 GB and more video ram costs 3597 dollars. I really can't afford that and the apple store next to my house will sell me the extra 1 GB memory for only 219 dollars, so I guess it will be cheaper if I buy the extra memory, instead of the MBP that already comes with 2 GB
new egg has a 1gb memory stick for $70 I believe...a lot cheaper than buying it from apple.
Just backing up what's already been said. I just purchased 2 GB for my macbook at $102 whereas Apple wants $350. I've heard nothing but good reviews for Newegg (which is where I bought my sticks as well). Cheers
Thanks for the help, guys!
I'm very very very sorry if this is a stupid question (I don't know much about computers and/or laptops) but if I was to buy memory sticks from Newegg instead of my Apple Store, would it work on my MacBook Pro seeing as Newegg is an American site and my MacBook pro will be the european version. Are there differences with the computers? I'm asking this because as DVD regions are different, and battery plugs also I was wondering if there is any problem with installing american memory sticks in a european MacBook Pro?
Also, I was over at Newegg and I'm kind of confused, could anyone help me out here? How many entries for memory sticks does the MacBook Pro come with? If I want the macbook pro to have 3 GB memory, the original one I buy will already come with 1 GB, so is it ok for me to buy a CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) and if I instal it will my MacBook Pro have 3 GB memory?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but newegg doesn't ship internationally, do you know of any good sites to by memory that ship internationally?
memoryamerica has international shipping i believe. Computer Memory Upgrades - PC & Mac Memory - SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 RAM
It doesn't matter where your computer was bought or which language it's set to regarding the memory.
For most people, getting the extra memory either built-in or as a retrofit from Apple is tantamount to throwing money down the toilet.
Memory upgrade is dead simple, doesn't invalidate warranty - it's even in the manual.
Go for it. I bought 2 Gb ram sticks (two off) for a total of 50 GBP (about 70 USD).

Simple Mind – Filmed and Edited by P. Nameck
Simple Mind is the story of a man, who through therapy, discovers more about himself and his life then he ever imagined.
Simple Mind was created for the Youtube Your Film Festival contest as a joint effort by Phil Newsom and Paul Nameck who just wanted to see if they could do it. With the help of the very talented and patient actors Tim and Kristi, Paul was able to pull Phil's story off the pages with a simple but effective visual. This film was shot over two days, with no budget, and with only Paul and Phil as the crew.
This film was shot with a Canon T3i using 28mm and 50mm lenses. Edited in Sony Vegas Pro. Sound was recorded directly into the camera with a rode mic which explains the horrible audio (damn you Automatic Gain Control).
Thanks to everyone for making this possible.
Written and Directed by Phil Newsom
Filmed and Edited by Paul Nameck

Berkshire Mountain Distillers, located on Holm Road in Great Barrington, has teamed with The Boston Beer Co., makers of Samuel Adams beer, for a multi-year project in which the local distiller will turn two of the Boston-based brewer's beers to produce two new spirits.
Berkshire Mountain is using 12,000 gallons of Sam Adams' flagship Boston Lager and the small-batch Cinder Bock in a triple distillation process to create an aged whiskey expected to be ready for sale by 2015. The process is expected to yield 500 gallons, or 12,000 bottles, of whiskey.
A.B. According to this, in two years' time, I might not feel so bad about someone throwing a Cinder Block at my head. In fact, my friends and I might toss Cinder Blocks back and forth for fun. I know a guy who might actually juggle them one-handed.
But I do wonder one thing: why "Cinder Block?" Does the flavor remind one of that time that the biker claimed he'd put a brick in one's mouth edgewise? Or is the name a clever ploy to convince consumers to, in fact, throw them around like beanbags at a Phish concert, thereafter bragging about all the Cinder Blocks they tossed back?
Food for thought. Drink, too.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA9) -- Virginia's two U.S. Senators and the entire Northern Virginia delegation is now backing one site for the new FBI headquarters: the Springfield site, as new options concerning private land have opened up.
"We're going to fight on the merits, not the politics and we're a united delegation," said Rep. Gerald Connolly, ( D) District 10.
The Springfield location is next to I-95 and the former Springfield Mall that's being rebuilt. It's also adjacent to a federally-owned GSA warehouse, which contains security-related materials.
"As long as it's a fair and above board process I am sure the FBI will chose Virginia as its location," said Senator Mark Warner.
It's near the Springfield Metro and VRE stations, and FBI employees will be able to use the new Express Lanes now under construction to get to Quantico where the FBI lab is located.It's the same site that was pitched for the BRAC realignment six years ago, but now, the GSA warehouse doesn't have to move or even be included in the project.
That's because a public-private partnership is being proposed.
Boston Properties is the owner of a 40-acre parcel adjacent to the GSA building and the Northern Virginia Community College Medical Campus on Springfield Center Drive.
The private landowner would likely be able to swap the Springfield land for the FBI's famous Hoover building in D.C.
The Virginia site's major competition is the site in Greenbelt now back by Maryland leaders. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority owns the 78-acre Greenbelt site and would hand it over for the project.
Maryland leaders say their Greenbelt site is the best due to security, transportation, and proximity to its FBI employees.
The Virginia leaders say a majority of FBI employees live in the Commonwealth.
The GSA along with the FBI will make the decision, expected in the coming months.
