A biopsy marker introduction assembly is configured for introduction through a specimen retrieval recess into a probe cutter lumen of a handheld breast biopsy handle. Advancing the cutter causes an extending deployment rod to distally translate within an introducer tube of the introduction assembly, pushing a biopsy marker out of a distal end of the probe at a surgical biopsy site. Thereby, the surgeon is able to position the probe and effect deployment of the marker even if using the other hand to position an imaging device such as an ultrasonic transceiver.

The present invention relates, in general, to an applier for delivering and deploying a marker for implantation in tissue of a surgical patient, and more particularly, to such an applier for delivering and deploying an implantable biopsy marker for defining specific locations in human tissue during a biopsy procedure, especially in a human breast.
One in nine American women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women 40-55 years of age and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women overall. Breast cancer will be diagnosed in approximately one in eight women in their lifetime, and one in 30 will die of this disease. Breast cancer does occur in males, but is much less common. Biopsy requests stem from a screening process generally performed via a physical examination (palpable) and/or mammogram (non-palpable). A biopsy is indicated if suspicious tissue is detected. Five out of six biopsies performed return benign indications.
It is desirable and often necessary to perform procedures for detecting, sampling, and testing lesions and other abnormalities in the tissue of humans and other animals, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancerous tumors, pre-malignant conditions and other diseases or disorders. Typically, in the case of cancer, when a physician establishes by means of known procedures (i.e. palpation, x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound imaging) that suspicious circumstances exist, a biopsy is performed to determine whether the cells are cancerous. Biopsy may be an open or percutaneous technique. Open biopsy removes the entire mass (excisional biopsy) or a part of the mass (incisional biopsy). Percutaneous biopsy on the other hand is usually done with a needle-like instrument and may be either a fine needle aspiration (FNA) or a core biopsy. In the FNA biopsy, very small needles are used to obtain individual cells or clusters of cells for cytologic examination. The cells may be prepared such as in a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. In core biopsy, as the term suggests, a core or fragment of tissue is obtained for histologic examination, which may be done via a frozen section or paraffin section. The chief difference between FNA and core biopsy is the size of the tissue sample taken. An imaging system having spectroscopic capabilities, such as the stereotactic guidance system, is employed to guide the extraction instrument to the lesion.
A significant advance in core biopsies in a diagnostic imaging modality such as X-ray, MRI, ultrasonic, etc. have been facilitated by a hand-held biopsy device, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,086,544, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Being handheld, this generally known "MAMMOTOME" breast biopsy system creates a less intimidating and more-comfortable arrangement for the patient with minimal procedure preparation time as compared to a tabletop fixed biopsy device. The procedure may be completed in less than an hour in a doctor's office or on an outpatient basis under a local anesthetic and requires no surgery or stitches. It allows the patient to lie comfortably on her back.
A probe need only be inserted once into the patient's breast via a small incision. Once inserted and positioned via imaging (e.g., ultrasonic, MRI), the needlelike probe can collect multiple samples by means of vacuum aspiration and an internal rotating cutter. The vacuum draws the sample into the probe aperture within reach of the cutter. From there, tissue samples can be obtained in and around the targeted area. Even though the incision is smaller, these samples can be eight times the weight of samples obtained with traditional spring-loaded biopsy equipment.
It should be appreciated that a generally known vacuum assisted breast biopsy system described above has incorporated an onboard microprocessor to automate the sampling process. A positioning sensor allows the color touch-screen monitor to reflect the exact position of the cutting tip. An easy-to-follow graphical user interface gives surgeons maximum control over the location from which the biopsy sample is taken. A two-motor cutting drive system self-contained in the base unit and connected to a lightweight handpiece eliminates the need to table-mount the cutter assembly. Lightweight, flexible cables connect the base to the disposable handpiece. This handheld unit, which incorporates cutter position sensors, allows physicians to place the sampling probe accurately and obtain larger samples of suspect tissue.
The cutting drive system includes direct feedback control of both cutter translational and rotational speeds. When either the translational speed or rotational speed is not at the desired rate due to increased or decreased loading on the system, the control feature modifies the power to the motor. This allows the speeds to remain near their desired levels, enabling maximum control throughout the procedure. The cutter can sample both palpable and nonpalpable lesions, including spiculated masses, asymmetric densities, multifocal disease, and diffuse tissue.
In addition, the handheld cutting probe includes ergonomic features to allow for easy manipulation and procedure control such as a soft-touch finger-control keypad. Precise position control lets the cutter close the aperture through which the sample enters without bottoming out at the end of the probe. Good position control (e.g., within 0.001 in.) enables the minimization of the length of the cushion, or "dead zone," at the end of the probe. Incision of the tissue and completion of the sampling as directed is achieved without causing damage to healthy surrounding tissue.
This hand-held biopsy device is capable of rapidly taking a number of biopsy samples, assisted by a vacuum capability that draws tissue into proximity with a cutter. A computer-controlled vacuum system enables the vacuum to cycle on and off, and optimizes the vacuum in accord with the cutter activity. The vacuum retrieval system allows the caregiver to take multiple samples of a lesion while the needle probe remains in the breast. Moreover, large enough samples are obtainable, avoiding dry taps, or the inability to obtain an adequately sized sample of the suspect tissue, a common problem associated with other breast biopsy systems. Moreover, the hand-held biopsy device may further completely remove suspicious material as a therapeutic treatment for suspicious lesions.
With this ability to completely remove a lesion, however, comes a desire to mark this location for later reference, such as for further treatments or later diagnostic follow-up. To that end, an applier for an implantable surgical marker is advantageously used in conjunction with a hand-held biopsy device, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,261,302, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. After a last specimen is retrieved from a probe of the hand-held biopsy device, the cutter is withdrawn so that an open lumen is presented between a specimen collection bowl and a distal aperture of the probe. A flexible introducer of the marker applier is inserted through the lumen and then the marker is released at the desired location by depressing a button on the marker applier.
While this technique accomplishes the desired end, it would be desirable to simplify the procedure. For instance, when using ultrasonic imaging to position the probe of the biopsy device, the surgeon typically has to hold an ultrasonic transceiver with one hand. The other hand directs the biopsy device to the desired location and controls the taking of samples. Then a third hand is needed to actuate the marker applier. It would be desirable that a two-hand procedure would be adequate while maintaining the efficiency and convenience of using a handheld biopsy system.
In addition, it would be desirable to have the same degree of control and repeatability in marker placement that is available in taking the tissue samples themselves. Generally-known marker placement devices, such as the MICROMARK II device described above, relies upon the user to insert its distal end fully through the open needle of the biopsy device. Actuating the marker placement device in some instances may fail to deploy the marker from the biopsy probe, however.
Consequently, a significant need exists for an improved approach to placing a biopsy marker with the aid of a biopsy instrument.
The invention overcomes the above-noted and other deficiencies of the prior art by providing a marker introducing assembly that advantageously conforms to a biopsy probe and is actuated by a cutter of a biopsy handle to deploy a biopsy marker out of a distal end of the biopsy probe. Thereby, a surgeon may advantageously position the biopsy probe to a desired surgical site and actuate a cutter control to deploy the marker while having another hand free to perform other functions such as positioning an ultrasonic transceiver for imaging the biopsy probe.
In one aspect of the invention, a biopsy introducing assembly includes an alignment feature that confirms a fully seated and oriented placement into the biopsy probe so that advancement of the cutter of the biopsy handle will achieve full travel without bottoming out to reliably deploy the marker.
In another aspect of the invention, a biopsy system and method alters a direct feedback control of the cutter of the biopsy handle to a desired translation distance appropriate for the marker introducing assembly to reliably deploy the marker without bottoming out a plunger therein that communicates between the marker and the cutter. In addition to translation distance control, rate of translation and disabling cutter revolution may be included. Thereby, the surgeon is able to use biopsy controls in a familiar manner for deploying the marker as is used in taking the biopsy samples.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention shall be made apparent from the accompanying drawings and the description thereof.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention, and, together with the general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.
Turning to the Drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like components throughout the several views, in
Also shown in
A proximal end 46 of the marker deployment rod 44 terminates in a cutter seat 48 that extends proximally beyond the entry cone 20 of the cutter lumen 22 a sufficient distance to provide full travel of the marker deployment rod 44 yet fit within a specimen retrieval recess 50 formed within the housing 18 of the biopsy handle 10. The cutter seat 48 has a greater lateral diameter than the tube-shaped cutter 16 to ensure contact. Since the cutter 16 closely fits the inner diameter of the cutter lumen 22, the cutter seat 48 reaches full travel at the entry cone 20.
With reference to
The pusher rod 86 advantageously closes the distal opening 90 of the introduction assembly 62 and thus a specimen opening 96 of the probe 68. This may be an advantageous feature that allows retracting the probe 68 without inadvertently dragging out the marker 82. Thus, there is no requirement to rotate the probe 68 as an additional step or alternatively to remove the introduction assembly 62 and replace it with a stylus (not shown) to close the probe 68.
It is desirable to include a marker deployment mode into the controls of the biopsy system 12 to optimize this function. For instance, if two motors are used, one for longitudinal translation of the cutter and one for rotating the cutter 16, then dedicated control logic would allow disabling cutter rotation during deployment. Also, the amount of longitudinal travel and the rate of travel may be optimized for marker deployment. In
A surgical cite within the patient's breast is imaged (e.g., ultrasonic imaging) (block 102) to guide the surgeon to insert and position the probe (block 104). Vacuum is applied through the probe to assist in drawing tissue into a specimen bowl of the probe (block 106) while the cutter is rotated and distally translated to cut the tissue. The probe may be repositioned, such as by rotating the probe to present the specimen bowl at a different angle with the specimen bowl blocked by the extended cutter. Thereafter, the cutter and sample are proximally retracted (block 110). These actions of blocks 104-108 may be repeated to the surgical site between biopsies or by otherwise repositioning the probe.
Once the biopsies at the surgical site are complete, then the surgeon engages the marker introduction assembly ("introducer") into the biopsy probe (block 112) and enables deployment mode of the marker (block 114). The interface between the introducer and the biopsy handle may be such that its presence is sensed by a sensor (block 116) and automatically prepares the biopsy system for deployment mode, preventing inadvertent rotation of the cutter or an inappropriate application of the vacuum assist system and/or adjusting cutter travel and/or rate of travel. Enabling deployment mode may be manual (block 118) wherein the surgeon uses a control, such as pushing a deployment soft button, to initiate deployment mode. As a further example, a remote control unit that is spaced away from the biopsy handle may initiate deployment mode (block 120). For example, a control unit may be elsewhere in the surgical suite, for instance in an MRI or CTI facility wherein the biopsy system is remotely actuated.
If marker deployment mode has been enabled, then cutter rotation may advantageously be disabled in a two-motor biopsy system (block 122). Distal translation speed is set (block 124). For instance, a greater rate of travel may be desired to better propel the marker from the probe. Maximum cutter travel may be set (block 126) to avoid binding and damage, especially if the mechanical advantage of the motor and mechanization is such as to cause damage before full travel may be sensed. It may be desirable to use a fluid drainage capability of the biopsy system at this point, such as using the vacuum assist system to remove fluid from the surgical site and/or to insufflate the surgical site to provide a cavity to receive the biopsy marker (block 128).
Then the cutter is advanced to deploy the marker (block 130), which may be a programmed mode that is initiated by the surgeon (block 132) or a manual process (block 134) with a deployment command maintained by the surgeon. Imaging may be performed contemporaneously or subsequently to confirm that the marker has been deployed at the surgical site (block 136). Advancement continues until a determination is made that the marker is deployed (block 138), which may be determined based on one or more conditions such as the biopsy system sensing full travel, sensing of cutter binding at full travel, visual confirmation of the marker deployment, etc.
In some applications, the introducer and/or biopsy probe may be determined to be insufficiently closed at this point (block 140), such as the introducer prevents closure. To prevent inadvertently dislodging the marker, the cutter is retracted (block 142), the marker introducer is removed with the probe still in place (block 144), the probe is rotated (e.g., 180 degrees) so that the specimen bowl is moved away from the marker to prevent its inadvertent entry (block 146), and the cutter is advanced to close the port (block 148). Once the port is determined to be closed in blocks 140 or 148, then the probe is removed (block 150).
While the present invention has been illustrated by description of several embodiments and while the illustrative embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicant to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications may readily appear to those skilled in the art.
For example, It should be appreciated that the illustrative embodiment describes a handheld biopsy procedure guided by ultrasonic imaging to accentuate advantages of incorporating marker placement into biopsy instrument controls. However, aspects of the present invention pertain to tabletop fixed biopsy instruments, biopsy instruments used for tissue other than the breast, biopsy instruments positioned with other imaging modalities such as X-ray and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and remotely actuated biopsy instruments.
For example, although a vacuum-assisted biopsy system has been advantageously depicted herein as benefiting from a marker introduction device, it should be appreciated that application of a marker introduction device to a core needle biopsy device would provide similar advantages, allowing a surgeon to place a marker while positioning the core needle device with reference to a diagnostic image.
For another example, although a specific handheld biopsy device is described, it should be appreciated that a detachable probe may be used in conjunction with a marker introduction device.
As yet another example, although affirmatively driving the marker with the cutter of a biopsy handle has a number of advantages, it should be appreciated that the vacuum assist control system of a biopsy system consistent with aspects of the invention may be used to draw a plunger of a biopsy marker introduction device toward the distal end of the probe. With the plunger fully translated distally, the marker would deploy and then the vacuum assist may be removed, leaving the marker in place as the biopsy probe is removed.

hey, i want to play iso games on my wii 4.0e.. but i want to use usb loader.. it's possible?
hey, i want to play iso games on my wii 4.0e.. but i want to use usb loader.. it's possible?
Did this stop working for anyone else with the CIOS38 rev 13b release? After I installed the update, the WBFS partition was no longer detected on my drive. Reverting back to CIOS36 rev10 fixed the problem.
For me, I have just installed bootmii2 on system 4.0 and are still wondering if the cios36 rev10 downgrade/upgrade is needed. I'm currently making an iso dump on my HDD and have still to test if USB loader 1`.5 works.
Thanks in advance for any answer
I am using 1.1 (I think- I'm at work, so unable to check) - as the USB Loader is working ok at the moment, is there an advantage to me upgrading to this latest version ?
dunno. I actually never tried USB loader 1.5 and started straight away with USB loader GX. And that works great! The app is constantly improved with optional updates and you can load them from within the app on your wii.
URL: News ?(USB Loader GX)?
uhh... the cover is not showing for me... how do i fix this??
When you click on a game (iso) and then press 1 the loader will ask you to download the covers. If it cannot find them you can manualy add them from Wii Boxart

After Conquering The World, Our Favorite Angry Birds Head Into Space On March 22
I'm not even going to pretend that you don't know what Angry Birds is… that would be insulting to both you and the game. But do you know what Angry Birds Space is? Nah, I didn't think so. And truth be told, I'm not quite sure what it is either. According to Rovio, Angry Birds Space will be the biggest launch for the company to date. Remember what a big deal… Read More
Video: The Interactive Angry Birds Christmas Lights Display
Eat your heart out, Clark Griswold. This fully interactive Christmas lights display should erase any doubt that Angry Birds is an ubiquitous fixture in pop culture. Rovio's game was everywhere this year from unofficial Chinese themeparks, to a cookbooks and mooncakes. Rovio's CMO Peter Vesterbacka's wife even wore an Angry Birds formal gown to a state gala.

Already On Everything Else, Angry Birds Ported To Rovio Exec's Wife's Dress
Going to a fancy State Gala? Married to a Rovio executive? Angry Birds dresses are SO IN this season. If you've ever met Rovio CMO Peter Vesterbacka, you've probably learned two things: 1) Peter is good people, and 2) he really, really likes his Angry Birds sweatshirt. It's rare to see him not wearing one. I'm convinced he travels with a suitcase full of them and burns… Read More

Rovio Said To Have Turned Down $2.25 Billion Acquisition By Zynga
Ready for this week's tale of someone turning down an absurd mountain of money in exchange for their company?

Angry Birds In Real Life
Sorry, Rovio. A Chinese theme park located in Changsha, Huna China clearly skipped Trademark Infringement 101 and built a very real, very authentic-looking Angry Birds game.

Child's play for Chelsea stars Frank Lampard and John Terry
THERE was a lovely scene at Stamford Bridge on Monday which the 40,704 crowd missed.
It was telling that Sir Alex Ferguson shook hands with the England midfielder before kick-off.
It was a 'jumpers for goalposts' affair involving the two Bridge superstars and their four young children.
I only happened to catch it because I stayed in the press seats to finish my match report, but as a fellow father of two it was a touching sight.
Sometimes it is easy to forget superstar players are fathers, with the huge pressures that go with their job.
And all on the pitch seemed to be having a great time.
For Lampard, such moments are likely to be treasured even more now as it seems increasingly likely he will be not be offered a new deal and will go in the summer.
There does not seem to be much appetite to speak to Terry either, even though he has just one season left on his deal.
With Manchester United keen to snap up Lampard on a free, it was telling that Sir Alex Ferguson shook hands with the England midfielder before kick-off.
No other player was so honoured by the gruff Scot.
If Lamps does go to United, it will be interesting to see whether Fergie allows him to have a kick-about on the Old Trafford pitch with his kids.

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays at PEOPLEPets.com – candy! costumes! parties! – but it can also spell trouble for your pets. Illuminated candles, pet-unfriendly chocolates and dark, crazy nights can lead to disaster if you aren't careful. We spoke with pet and baby safety expert Debra Holtzman, author of The Safe Baby, Expanded and Revised: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Home Safety and Healthy Living, to get her tips on keeping Halloween fun instead of frightful.
1. Supervise pets dressed in costume. "Be sure the costume doesn't interfere with your pet's ability to breathe, see, hear, move or bark," Holtzman tells PEOPLEPets.com. "And supervise your pet in their costume at all times."
2. Move all of your Halloween goodies out of the reach of pets. Chocolate is toxic for animals, particularly dogs. "In addition, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts and sugarless chewing gum are poisonous to pets," Holtzman advises. "Wrappers are dangerous, too, as they can cause an intestinal obstruction."
3. Keep your pets secure in your home during Halloween festivities. "That way, they won't have a chance to be spooked by strangers and costumes, or dart outdoors," Holtzman shares. "Remember that even the sweetest animal can act differently in new situations, or even become violent when they feel threatened." In addition, it's a good idea to keep your pet indoors to avoid any unruly Halloween jokesters, even if you have a fenced-in yard. "Black cats are particularly at risk," she cautions.
5. Place Halloween decorations out of the reach of pets. "If chewed, [decorative lighting?] can cause mouth burns or a life-threatening electrical shock," says Holtzman. "Fake spider webs, tinsels and other dangly decorations should be placed out of reach of pets, since they pose an entanglement risk."
6. Illuminate jack-o'-lanterns with flashlights. "Avoid candles," cautions Holtzman. "Curious pets may get burned by the flame or knock it over and cause a fire."
Remember, safety is the key to a happy Howl-oween!

Here is my recipe for a relatively light-flavored turkey stock that can be used to make anything from soup to gravy to turkey stock popsicles (just kidding on the popsicles, sort of). I like this recipe because I can use it for almost anything (except dessert) and then add additional seasoning or flavors depending on whatever recipe I'm using.
Since I usually like to "wing-it" when I'm cooking, I don't like to use a heavily-flavored stock, lest it interfere with whatever I'm creating or messing around with that day. That and super-salty, greasy stock freaks me out.
City Girl to Country Girl's Lazy Girl Turkey Stock
- 1 frozen-solid turkey leg
- 2 whole stalks of celery (leaves are optional)
- 1 whole carrot (peeled or at least scrape off most of the junk on it)
- 1 onion (cut in half)
- 2 whole cloves of garlic
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon of powdered garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon of ground thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon of ground oregano
- 1 tablespoon of kosher salt (that's KOSHER salt, not regular table salt)
- A dash or two (or three) of freshly ground black pepper
- 8-9 Qt stock-pot filled with cool, fresh water
Place everything into the pot (yes, even the frozen-solid turkey leg), fill it with the water and set the flame on high or to almost the highest setting (your goal is to eventually bring it to a boil) then go off and watch some television. I checked-in periodically during the commercial breaks to make sure it wouldn't get to the point where it would boil over.
When it does come to a boil, immediately lower the temperature to a "really low boil" or "just above a simmer."
Keep watching television and check your stock on and off (to skim off the crud that floats up to the surface) throughout the evening during commercial breaks. Don't forget to taste it from time to time too. Remember, my recipes are generally lower in sodium than most, so adjust accordingly to your taste.
I was watching "Hart of Dixie" as I started making my Lazy Girl Turkey Stock and watched right through that show, the evening news, and four late-night "Friends" episodes. 'Bout four hours give or take.
Yes, "Friends" is one of my favorite TV shows, why do you ask?
Anyway, it will eventually reduce down to about half. At this point STOP everything you're doing, turn off the stove and remove everything (the turkey leg, celery stalks, bay leaves, etc.) and anything else you see floating near the surface.
Wait for it to cool a bit and then place in the fridge overnight (or at least a few hours) for the fat to congeal on the surface. Skim the fat off and then strain the broth.
Re-heat the broth for about an hour or so to reduce it a bit more. Taste again. If any more scum or fat (you'll see the oily film) rises to the surface, skim or spoon off.
When the broth cools it should be dark and clear and should be enough to fill two large, take-out plastic soup containers.
Now, at this point either store the broth in your freezer for later use, freeze some of it into ice cube containers for smaller servings of stock or immediately proceed to make whatever you would like.
Or you could try my City Girl to Country Girl Turkey Noodle Soup. Recipe to be posted
tomorrow soon.
Mucho love and laughter,
City Girl to Country Girl
PS: My camera broke a few weeks ago and I don't see myself getting another one anytime soon. At least not until early summer, so any recipe images you see come from my cheap little cell phone.

Not so Good
On a Friday evening, while getting bored, we decided to try out this new place Volare. Me and three of my friends went out for dinner at Volare. We booked our table through hungrytable.in and conveniently got a table at the restaurant.
Ambiance :
Ambiance of the restaurant is like a normal restaurant, nothing out of the usual. The restaurant consists of two areas, the lounge on the first floor, and family dining restaurant on the lower floor.
Service :
The service is slow, and can definitely be improved upon.
Food :
The food was totally average. We ordered the veg kebab platter and the Seekh Kebab. The veg platter consisted of assortment of veg starters, and none of them tasted more than average. In main course we ordered the Wild Mushroom Rissoto and it was a task to finish it off, as it tasted bad! We also ordered the Shepherd's pie, which tasted good and was enough to serve two people. For desserts, we ordered the Volare Sundae, as the options are very limited. It was decent.
Overall, not a good experience, hence would recommend not to visit this place.

Love the Italian
This is a beautiful restaurant located on the Baner pashan link road. I have been to this restaurant twice earlier. I love their Variety of Pizzas and bruschetta... A good experience for people looking for a fine dining experience in pashan and Baner area.

Not at All Value for Money.
I went to Volare last week. The ambiance of the restaurant is good for a date or for an evening of fine dining. First, we ordered the Wild mushroom soup which was quite good, then we ordered the veg platter which was low on taste as well as on presentation. For main course, we ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto, it was tasteless and poorly prepared. The highlight of the evening was the dessert which was a Volare Sundae, it was well-made and we were delighted after eating it.
Overall, its quite an overpriced restaurant. If they improve the food , then the place can be tried.
November 16,2013
Average Place
Won a voucher and went to try out this restaurant!!
Ambiance :
The lounge upstairs is nice and cosy. The restaurant is on the ground floor only. The ambiance is nice and soothing, but nothing out of the ordinary to please your senses. Regular area, not too crowded even on weekends.
Service :
Service is good. The place starts closing down by 11 pm, and they shut the lights off, even when people are dining around, which I considered unacceptable. While we went, there was only a couple at the restaurant. I have heard, its mostly empty!!
Food :
Highly overpriced food!! Had it not been for the voucher, I would have never liked this restaurant. We ordered the veg platter. The mushroom tikka was good. The paneer starter was just average, while the aloo pakoras they gave us was nothing great!! In the main course we had ordered Veg ratatouille, which also was average. In soups , we tried the Minestrone soup, which is okayish. The Volare special dessert was good.
Final Verdict :
If you want to have a quiet dinner, this place is good, but the food is just average, so no use wasting money over it!
Beware Ripoff Central
After reading the previous review and a recommendation from one of my tweep, i decided to pay it a visit.
I visited the place at 12pm sharp with the hope that the buffet would be nice and hot and i would be the first person to try it. When i went in, i was dissapointed. The place was not ready for service and it dint seem like there was a buffet in the afternoon. I checked when the place would be ready for service and i was told at 12.30.
I was a little surprised, that the place has no sign-age about the timing or that its not open for service. Nevertheless i checked in at 12.30 and when i went in, some ppl were already there so i guess it was open for business.
I checked about the buffet, and i was told that the buffet is only served if we have a confirmed guest list of 15-20 ppl of more. I was very dissapointed on hearing that. but since the buffet is not the only thing a restaurant is rated on, i decided to give the ala-carte a try.
the moment i opened the menu, i felt a lump in my throat. The place is not a 3/4/5 star place, nor does it have a rating nor does it have a notable chef and the prices were nothing less that astronomical. Everything from starters to last page on the menu was in 3 figures. The cheapest of the lot was the Bisleri !
The earlier review mentioned about 299++ , but these prices were busting my nuts altogether. It had a lot of items on its menu. The meen moili, schinchuan beef, pot roast chicken with thyme, crab cakes
All these items no doubt sound delicious, but i was not in a mood to order anything given the fact the amounts of food served on the other table were sufficient for 1.
Hakka noodles veg were priced at inr 195 ! i can get 2 servings of kick ass haaka noodles from Miniwok for that price.
I dint know why they wanted to server Perrier and Evian when Bisleri was priced at INR 50.
I was always under the impression that bottle water has to be sold at MRP irrespective of where it is sold, but after some research i found this article which states otherwise.
even then, i was not able to convince myself to order anything form the main course. I slowly drifted toward the end of the menu and saw the sundae's section.
The volare sundae boasted of a lot of berries, ice cream - oh in short it promised the moon. What did i get - a big ass glass, 3 tea spoons of ice cream( van, straw, choc ) with some strawberry crush in between , one flimsy oreo on top and one long handle spoon.
Mea Culpa - i dint mention the amount of space in between the 3rd scoop and the bottom of the glass - too much it was
Imagine u order for a a dom perignon, the amount served, doest even wet your toungue - this was similar case.
Not to mention i was taxed 12.5% on the 200 rs ice cream i ate.
The ice cream dint satisfy my hunger, nor did it justify the price. Probably it was the price of the 200ml of air served as well.
If u want to drill humongous holes in your pocket - head here.
Also the listing is wrong. The pricing is not close to moderate !
Superb Dining Experience
Newly opened place. Besides the US Pizza, Regent Plaza, on Baner -Pashan Link Road. They need to put up a sign indicating a Multi-Cuisine Fine Dining Restaurant, else people would not even know they exist. From outside, it looks like a salon doorway.
But, once inside, it is a different story altogether. Beautiful, pleasant spacious and calm ambiance and tastefully done interiors.
Since visiting in the afternoon, opted for Buffet rather than ala-carte.
Soups, starters, Main Course, Veg, Non Veg, Salads/snacks and sweets.
Veg Manchow Soup, Chicken Kabab/Veg Dumpling as starters, then, 1 Chicken, 1 Paneer and 1 Fish as main course, 2 Dry Veg, 1 Dal and 1 Pulao plus Salads and Snacks. To end it all, hot Gulab Jamun.
All in excellent taste and reasonable priced. Efficient Service, with hot Rotis/Naans being brought to the table by attentive servers.
Buffet is 290+ taxes. But, was given a discount and hence it came down to Rs 555 for 2 people. Definitely, well worth the money spent.
And the ala carte menu is tempting enough for few more visits, which I will be definitely scheduling. All in all, a very good addition to culinary delight in the Baner-Pashan Area. Fine Dine within reasonable price.
One minus point : They still did not have their Credit Card machine working, so carry cash for payments. Hope it gets resolved soon, along with their sign-board/Identity crisis..!!

Racice wraps up in style
Final day of competition in Racice saw the shorter distances of 500m and 200m being contested.
Final day of competition in Racice
The finals got off to a good start with Canoe single women's event.
200m Sprint Finals

- Ed McKeever (GBR)
The Men's K1 200m proved to be as hot as the weather. It was a fantastic race and went to the photofinish to decide the winner. Ed McKeever (GBR) just nicked it with two hundredths of a second to spare over Victor Zavolskiy (RUS) to maintain his run of unbeaten races. Michele Zerial (ITA) came in third for the bronze.
- Zoom
- Yvan Shtyl (RUS)
Russia would do well winning several medals on Sunday and Ivan Shtyl proved why he has a closet full of medals by winning the C1 men's 200m race. It was another exciting race with Richard Dalton (CAN) taking a very credible second place followed by Russian Evgeny Ignatov.
Teresa Portela (POR) was a popular winner in the K1 women's 200m and told the ICF that she was ecstatic to win the short race as she had been in a lot of competitions over the weekend.

The C1 Men 500m Final, although a non Olympic discipline still produces some good canoe sprint racing. This race was no exception Ilya Shtokalov (RUS) won in a close battle with Thomas Hall (CAN) and Helder Silva (POR) finishing third.
The Women's
The Women'sK1 5000m Final kicked off the final section of the World Cup in Racice. The 5000m are a popular event and this was no exception. Quickly a group of 5 girls broke from the field headed by Lani Belcher (GBR), Jenny Egon (IRE) Anna Adamova (CZE) and Kristina Zur (USA). The Austrian, Anna Lehaci, could not keep up with the pace. So it was a four person fight for the medals. However, due to a miscalculation the bell for the final lap was sounded early confusing the athletes leading the race. Eventually all the athletes completed the full distance with Lani Belches (GBR) sprinted to the Gold medal. Due to the confusion two silver medals were given to Adamova and Egon with Bronze going to Zur.
In the C1 Men 5000m Final saw the race lead from the start to finish by the Canadian Mark Oldershaw giving him his second Gold medal of the weekend in emphatic style. Local boy Lukas Koranda (CZE) gave the crowd something to cheer by finishing second. Canadian Thomas Hall made up the medals in third place.
K1 Men 5000m brought the curtain down on a great World Cup. With a very strong line up of 38 boats it was going to be an exciting race. So much so that 2 athletes capsized immediately at the start as they collided. Adam Van Koverden (CAN) led the field out on the first lap. A group developed at the front of the pack for the main part of the race. With one lap left four paddlers were in the mix Van Koverden, Max Benassi (ITA), Fernando Pimenta (POR) and Poulsen (DEN).
Pimenta punched the air when he crossed the finish line first, followed by Van Koverden who just could not overhaul Pimenta. Third place was taken by Benassi in a thrilling sprint for the line.
Next weekend sees all the athlete reconvene in

Strictly for patient, gay-friendly audiences, this drawn-out melodrama about an ageing drag star in overstays its welcome.
Tonia (Fernando Santos), a veteran transsexual diva whose life has begun to fall to pieces in tandem with her raddled body, finds that the new kids on the block are getting younger and more competitive. Audience tastes have changed too and they want a rather different style of performance and performer.
Her son Zé Maria (Chandra Malatitch) whom Tonia fathered some years previously, has become a deserter from the Army as well as a murderer; meanwhile her junkie boyfriend Rosario (Alexander David) is pressuring her to have a sex change operation.
If that were not enough (and probably for many of the audience it will be) her silicone breast implants have poisoned her body and it looks like she will die of cancer.
Paradoxically, after living for years as a woman she faces the prospect of dying as a male. En route, there are many sideways excursions that lead nowhere in particular.
Rodrigues' third feature, which was selected to represent Portugal in for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar noms and was presented in Un Certain Regard at last year's Cannes Film Festival, shows admirable compassion for its characters but falls a long way short of the giddy heights of Pedro Almodóvar or Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
On the credit side, Fernando Santos as Tonia, resembles John Waters' star Divine with blonde wig and pouty lips, and makes a consistently affecting contribution as she strives to embrace the sexes.
Distributor: Strand Releasing
Cast: Fernando Santos, Alexander David, Gonçalo Ferreira de Almeida, Chandra Malatitch, Jenny Larrue, Cindy Scrash, Fernando Gomes and Miguel Loureiro

We're told … the lawsuit will be filed in Florida and Hulk will allege invasion of privacy, on grounds Bubba and Heather (also a defendant) conspired to roll tape during her encounter with Hulk.

WARRENSBURG - The Burgher wrestlers not only tallied individual feats in Saturday's Class D Sectional wrestling tournament, they secured a coveted place for the team by helping it win fourth place among 12 schools, including several state-ranked teams.
With its win, the Burgher wrestling team advanced with the other top three to next weekend's Section II state qualifier meet at the Glens Falls Civic Center.
√"The team and coacher were happy - we wrestled great," Assistant Coach Scott McKenna said Monday. "We were competing against top teams, including Whitehall, which is state-ranked, and Duanesburg, which is a repeat Sectional champion."
Seven Burgher wrestlers, due to their first- through fourth-place finishes, are entered in this tournament, which includes Class C schools as well as the smaller Ds.
In the gritty effort, Logan Rock won the Class D Sectional Championship Saturday in the 215-pound class by defeating Grant Gebo 5-2.
Four Burgher wrestlers were runners-up in their weight classes: Abby Roth, Logan Winter, Cole Tennant, and Colin Campbell.
At 112 pounds, Roth was beaten only by John Diekel of Whitehall, who took the championship. Roth nearly won the crown, however. Late in the match she was ahead in points, but got tied up with Diekel, and she was thrown unexpectedly and pinned, McKenna said.
Burgher Logan Winter at 125 pounds, lost only to his final opponent from Duanesburg, who decisioned him 8-2.
Also losing only one final match was Cole Tennant at 145, who was pinned in 1:25 by David Northshield of Salem.
Colin Campbell, wrestling at 285 but weighing far less, also had a string of victories ended by one final loss. In this last match, he was pinned in 1:05 by a a tough, physical Berne-Knox opponent who had a 33-2 record.
Placing fourth for Warrensburg were Donovan Santisteban at 119 pounds and Jon Vaisey at 96. Santisteban was in a brutal weight class, running up against several state qualifiers.

Cardboard and duct tape may not share obvious similarities with armor. For third-year Hampshire student Thomas Emerson 07F, using the former was the first step of a largely self-directed apprenticeship in building the latter much as it was done in medieval times.
"I've been studying armor since I was really young. Some of the first books I read were about King Arthur and Robin Hood. That got me into history, but also into armor," he says, noting that experimentation with the tape and board in elementary school eventually progressed to aluminum siding, and then plastics. "You can take something hard and flat, and turn it into something that moves on an organic form."
Emerson plans a career in filmmaking, ideally working with props. Studying filmmaking at Hampshire has drawn him even deeper into crafting armor. He is now building metal armor for a short film on King Arthur, focused on Arthur's final battle with his illegitimate son, Mordred.
Two months after learning the basics of metalworking, instructed by Lemelson Center machine shop assistant Don Dupuis, Emerson is proving to himself that his years of historical study and design experimentation can translate well.
He is concentrating as much as possible on historical accuracy. Acknowledging the dearth of specific knowledge about traditional methods of armor making, he credits a few sources as crucial references: well-preserved armor from a battle in Wisby, Sweden, in 1361, illustrations from medieval manuscripts, and some existing writings provide insight that he draws on in his own designs.
For his film, he settled on a look that predates the industrial armor-manufacturing methods pioneered by the Milanese and Germans (which laid the foundations for the Renaissance) and incorporates styles used by the Saxons, Romans, and Celts as a symbol of Arthur's uniting the three cultures. The facemask Arthur will wear during the battle, and be buried in, is similarly multicultural.
"Arthur's funerary mask symbolized that his glory had fallen by the time of this last battle, and is based on the Roman tradition of an intricately hammered face plate combined with northern European effigies. It's supposed to look like an old effigy found on a crypt," says Emerson. "Arthur's armor is technically from the late 1200s to 1300s, where you start seeing people deviate from chain mail."
One thing that differs from some suits of armor that appear in films is that his won't be shiny. Real battle armor wouldn't have been, Emerson notes, as it would have just been dinged-up in combat.
