Elvaston Castle: £5k lost in parking fees after vandals strike
Posted: February 12, 2014|
THOUSANDS of pounds of income has been lost at Elvaston Castle and Country Park because problems with ticket machines meant visitors could park for free.
Council bosses admitted there have been nine weeks in the last 15 months that people did not have to pay.
These included five weeks last summer when hot weather meant the park was regularly packed.
Derbyshire County Council, which owns the park, said vandalised ticket machines were the main reason people could park for free.

New vision revealed for future of Elvaston Castle
A council spokesman said that, in these circumstances, a ticket office would normally be set up at the gates but staff were not always available to run it.
The spokesman said this meant parking was free for two weeks at the end of November 2012, and five weeks in June and July last year.
And card payment machines installed last August have had technical problems.
Vandals returned last month and parking was free for another two weeks.
The council estimated that about £5,000 had gone uncollected in those nine weeks.
Visitors to Elvaston Castle criticised the council over the issue. Elaine Lowe, of Breaston, part of a ramblers' group that walks around the estate every Wednesday, said: "I don't understand it. The council is always saying it does not have enough money to run Elvaston, so why were they allowing people to park for free? It seemed that, all last summer, the ticket machines were broken and there was no-one collecting money.
"All that lost revenue – what a waste. We had a beautiful summer and the car park was often rammed.
"Having free parking made no sense. People are happy to pay a small amount if it goes towards the upkeep of Elvaston. Just charging our little group would have paid someone's wages for the day to collect money at the entrance, or hire a volunteer."
Diane Allen, of Nottingham, visited the park a couple of weeks ago. She said: "I think there should be a modest fee. It doesn't deter people from coming.
"It was free the last time we came. It was a beautiful day and we struggled to find a space in the car park. The ticket machine was taped up so no one was paying."
Roland Beeston, of Ripley, said: "I don't think the council can afford not to charge people for parking. I'm happy to pay £1.20 for two hours. I think most people are. It can get quite busy here, especially when they have something on like a craft fair."
His wife Janice added: "If the council puts the parking fees into the upkeep of the grounds, you don't mind paying."
The council spokesman said: "It is regrettable that have we missed out on income from parking while the machines were vandalised. Vandalism of the ticket machines is a problem for us and we do our best to ensure they are fixed as soon as possible."

It has been a while since I have written one of these and it just might be my best one yet. Hang on to your hats, for it might be a bumpy ride with the thoughts I had last night.
I get it, no one understands Sookie and her motivations right now. Let's face it,the writers do not make it easy to do so. With that being said, I have been trying to put myself in Sookie's shoes to figure out her reasoning's certain things. Let's take things one at a time shall we?
I have never understood this comment by fans of the show and never will. Sookie has had sex with three men in her lifetime and all three happened to be a vampire or a hybrid. Three men do not equal a slut, no matter what time frame it was in with which she slept with these men. Woman have needs too and with all she has been through, I say more power to her. Why shouldn't she get freak her on? Why shouldn't she ride the white horse? Why shouldn't she be knocking some boots and doing the horizontal bop? I say more power to her.
I know some might be confused by Sookie's actions of late, I am guilty of that myself but Sookie has not had an easy way to go lately. She is constantly being told one thing and one lie after another and never knowing which way to go. What is the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do? Which way should she go and who should she trust? I guess the simplest answer is to trust no one but how far is that going to get her? In reality, the only person she should trust is herself. Let's start with a few simple characters, old and new although I would mostly be focused on the new.
Sookie was told by her fae relatives in the club that her magic is finite and since she is only half-fae, if she used it all up she would be 'fae no more'. Niall tells her the same thing this season, that she could use it one time (I am assuming using it full blown)to kill a vampire namely WARLOW/BEN and she would no longer be fae. Who is telling the truth here? The reason I ask is because Sookie has used her light on vampires before this season(Bill,Pam, and Eric to name a few) and it only weakened the powers to which she only needed to recharge. She used it on Ben, granted not full force but still nothing happened for she still had her powers. She combined her powers with Ben to take him to another plane so Billith could not call upon him and now that they have has sex, her powers are at least 10x stronger than before.
It seems funny to me that she was told by Niall that if she used her powers, she would be 'fae no more' when that has clearly not happened. If I was her, I would be questioning what my supposed grandfather was telling me. Niall could very well have been using Sookie because he knew WARLOW was coming for her and would get his revenge on him then. Notice he did say angrily to Jason that his parents were killed as well so why shouldn't he get to kill him. I would wonder if this was the plan of his all along. One thing is for sure about this is that Sookie's powers have not waned as she was told they would, they only got stronger the closer Ben got to her. Just some food for thought peeps!
The thing with Bill, past and present Bill is that has done nothing but lie to her about everything and I don't blame her one bit for not trusting him. The Bill she once knew, she thinks is dead and gone and rightly so and even if he was in there somewhere, she cannot trust him either. All she sees when she looks at him is someone she cannot trust him to speak the truth, even if it slapped him in the face. What's more is that she sees someone who cannot take responsibility for the things he has done wrong. So when he comes to her about a tale of vampires that she loves dieing in a vamp camp, what is she supposed to do or think? He does not tell her the whole truth and does not mention that Nora is dying, someone she protected from her own brother. Is she just supposed to believe his words? I think not.
Ah, the controversial character! What is he all about? Is he the big bad or is he not all bad? Well, the jury is still out on that one. I, for one hope the writers go the opposite with his character and not do the obvious. It would be too predictable and I would end up very bored with a season that started out with so much good goodness, only to end on a sour and disappointing note. Ben has the potential to be a great character and that does not mean I want him with Sookie. I just feel bringing him on only to get rid of him at the end of this season would be a wasted opportunity. It would be more, LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT!
I digress because this part about Ben has to do with Sookie. We know she is going to ask Ben for his help to save her friends (because a part of her did believe the thing called Billith) but I think it kind of pains her to do so. Now, here is where I am stepping into Sookie's shoes. Sookie, of all people knows what it is like to be used for your blood and how it can help others. It is in this way why I can understand why she is going to be protect him any way she can. It is not all about her attraction to him, she is doing what she feels is right.
Ben has the same ability she does, the power to grant vampires a chance to walk in the sun but at what cost? It is not something they should be used for and in this they share a common bond. Besides the fact that they are both fae and feel left out in the world because they are not normal. I imagine this is ten fold for him because he would feel as if he did not belong to either species. They understand each other in this sense. Who would not be attracted to him then?
Well,that is another one of my two cents and I won't bore you with another one for a while (maybe lol). As usual, sound off below!

By Fred W. Baker IIIAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 3, 2008 Coalition forces are fighting aggressively to secure the battle-scarred city of Mosul, Iraq, in an effort to stamp out al Qaeda safe havens. Video
"We're now forcing the enemy, boxing them in … into areas, that they otherwise had free play in the city," Army Brig. Gen. Raymond A. "Tony" Thomas III Thomas, deputy commander of Multinational Division North, said in a briefing today. "We've seized the initiative, and we're slowly but surely eliminating their toehold in the city."
This push comes as many of the enemy have been forced out of other strongholds in the north and are fleeing to the city that has been a historic center of gravity for them, he said.
"They're still flocking … to Mosul," Thomas said. "They really intend to hold on there in some way, shape or form. And they have for years."
Thomas said his forces can now go anywhere in the city, although some areas still are hostile. And forces have been able for the first time to establish joint security sites and combat outposts "literally in the heart of the enemy sanctuary," stopping insurgents from planting bombs overnight and from establishing firing positions.
"I'm very comfortable that we have the upper hand and the initiative in the city right now, and it continues to get better every day," he said.
Thomas said the fighting is not like what forces saw when clearing the city of Fallujah, but is steady and methodical. He predicted the combat operations will continue for at least a few more months, but noted reconstruction efforts already are in the planning stages. Mosul has borne the brunt of several years of combat and will need much infrastructure repaired or replaced. Roads pockmarked by bombings need to be repaved, and sewage and water systems need to be installed.
Funds from the 2008 Iraqi government budget and oil revenue earmarked for provincial reconstruction will pay for most of the construction, Thomas said. This is a shift from many provincial projects being funded by local U.S. commanders' funds.
"We're truthfully a little more hesitant to apply U.S. taxpayer dollars when there are, in fact, Iraqi dollars to be spent for their own projects. So it's a good change in the paradigm here," Thomas said.
Thomas has two Iraqi army divisions, about 20,000 soldiers, operating in his area. He also has 20,000 Iraqi police and a border force of about 3,500 in his area. The Iraqi forces increasingly are leading operations, although coalition forces still lead most missions.
"Three months ago, four months ago, we were more exclusively coalition-led and Iraqis supporting. We're slowly tipping that," Thomas said. "We're probably at about the 80-20 measure right now of coalition- to Iraqi-led … operations. But you see that growing every day, and it's in line with the capability that the Iraqis are demonstrating."
Multinational Division North is responsible for the seven northern provinces of Iraq, an area roughly the size of Georgia that includes about 12 million people. It consists of the provinces of Ninevah, Kirkuk, Salahuddin, Diyala and the three provinces of the Kurdish Regional Government of Dohuk, Erbil and Sulimaniyah.

How does curation work?
Plus members can submit 5 photos, Pro members 10 photos and Unlimited members can submit an unlimited amount of photos. As a Free member you can't submit photos for curation. Each photo is first sent to the members for voting. When the photo has received 60 votes it will be sent to the official curators. The members can also write tips and feedback about your photo when they vote. If you are a paying member you can see the popularity score from the voting in Photo Directory.
After voting is completed your photo will be sent to the official curators and is evaluated in terms of idea, mood, esthetics and technical quality. Originality and variation in the gallery are very important. The official curators will always take the score from the members' vote into consideration, but sometimes they will override it. For example a photo can receive a high score in voting, but still be rejected by the curators because the same motif has been published many times before. A photo with a low score can be published because it's a very special photo with a certain quality, even though it might be difficult to understand upon the first glance.
As of now, the official curators have evaluated and judged over 1 million photos. There is no computer algorithm which decides whether photos are published in the gallery or not, but each and every decision is taken by a real person.
Who are the curators?
We currently have 10 official curators who are experts in different areas of photography and also live in different places around the world. Visit their profiles to learn more about the curators.
How does member curation work?
Access member curation by clicking "Curate" in the top navigation. Here you can help the official curators to find the best photos by voting either "Publish" or "Reject". You can also write comments with feedback about the photos, which will help both the official curators and the photographers uploading the photos. Remember to always be polite and helpful when commenting on someone's photo and really explain in-depth why you think something and always give tips about how to improve the photo. Especially insightful comments will be awarded by the moderators.
If you are active in member curation, you will gather points and rise in level. When you have reached the highest level, level 8, you might be considered for different positions on the site like becoming a senior critic or an official curator. In "Curator portal" in your "Account" menu you can see which of your comments have been awarded, your current level and a top list of the highest ranked members in curation.
What means with Awarded photos?
All photos in the gallery on the front page are curated, but the Awarded section is a special recognition for photos the official curators want to give extra attention. Only a few photos are selected every week and being selected is a superb recognition of your talent and will give you a lot of extra exposure.

Gain feedback on your images in the critique forum and have the chance to receive critique by other members or one of our especially appointed senior critics, who are experts at analyzing photos and suggest improvements. Critique is give and take, so to gain critique on one of your photos, you first have to provide critique on three other photos.

However, paying members can activate copyright protection for all of their images, which will automatically embed your name in the bottom left of all your photos.
Do you allow borders in photos?
Photos sent to the curators for consideration in the gallery should not contain any borders because we want to keep an elegant style in the gallery and borders are sometimes distracting. If your photo is a diptych or triptych borders are allowed in curation, but please make them as discrete as possible. In your profile, you are allowed to add borders to your photos.
Do you allow using stock photos from other photographers in my photos?
All parts of photos sent to the curators must consist of photos taken by you. You are not allowed to use stock photos in montages. For photos only uploaded to your profile, make sure you have sufficient rights to display them as you are responsible for any copyright infringes.

The Uncommon Reader
written by Alan Bennett
Profile Books Ltd | ISBN 9781846680496
Hardback – 160 pages
Member's price: $22.46
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely (J. R. Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett, and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people such as the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world, and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short, her reading is subversive. The consequence is, of course, surprising, mildly shocking and very funny.

Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital is taking a variety of precautions to minimize the growing spread of flu viruses.
"The health of our patients and our community is very important to us," said David E. Loving, HCMH Chief Executive Officer. "The flu increases the risk of complications to patients with other illnesses, such as individuals who are receiving cancer treatments, to others with compromised immune systems, pregnant women, infants, children, and the elderly. Therefore, as the number of patients with flu-like illnesses continues to increase, so does our vigilance to try and prevent them. For that reason, we are implementing new temporary visitation guidelines for the health of our patients, their families, visitors and our community."
The temporary visitation guidelines are effective immediately and will remain in effect until this flu season passes. The guidelines include:
• Visitors under the age of 18 are restricted from visiting the hospital.
• Visitors with flu/cold-like symptoms such as fever, coughing, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea,
body aches or any sign of respiratory or other illnesses should not visit the hospital.
• Patients with flu-like symptoms may only have one visitor.
• Patients in the Emergency Department may only have one visitor during their stay.
• Patients and visitors to any patients who have presented with or who are isolated with flu/cold-
like illnesses may be asked to wear masks, gloves and gowns in waiting and/or treatment areas.
Additionally, everyone is strongly encouraged to protect his or her health by:
• Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or a shirtsleeve when you cough or sneeze.
• Washing your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze, hand
sanitizers can also be effective in controlling the spread of viruses.
• Avoiding close contact with infected individuals whenever possible.
Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital has provided medical care for residents over 82 years. A private, not-for-profit hospital, HCMH employs more than 940.

It is a tragedy when any one dies of alcohol poisoning. When that person is a child, it is absolutely heartbreaking. Thursday night Todd Trosper was found not guilty of endangering the life of his 13-year-old cousin.
Trosper and others were drinking rum and beer with Blake Barrone when Barrone passed out and never woke up in November of 2004.
The three other people involved in this case all pleaded guilty, so Trosper's is the only case that went to trial. The jury discussed the case for about five and a half hours, and ultimately decided Trosper did not endanger the life or health of his cousin. This is after the charge of giving or selling alcohol to a minor causing his death had already been dismissed from Trosper's trial.

DUBAI – January 13, 2011 – Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide,
Inc. (NYSE:HOT) is strengthening its long established position in the
Middle East as one of the leading luxury hotel operators in the region with a
portfolio of nearly 50 existing hotels and a pipeline of 25 new hotels. This
growth, primarily in the luxury and upper-upscale segments, represents an
increase of nearly 50%. By 2015, the Middle East will become the second region,
after North America, to operate all nine of Starwood's world-class brands - St.
Regis, The Luxury Collection, W, Westin, Le Méridien, Sheraton, Four Points by
Sheraton, and the recently launched Aloft and Element -
further reinforcing the company's commitment to the region.
As a key emerging market, the Middle East continues to evolve as an international business and leisure travel destination. According to the UN World Tourism Organization, the number of tourists travelling to the Middle East is expected to reach 136 million by 2020 compared with 54 million two years ago.
"Reaching out to new frontiers is a key focus for us. With more than 70% of the world's growth over the decade coming from fast-growing markets such as the Middle East, the region plays a central role in our global expansion and development strategy," said Frits van Paasschen, President and CEO, Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
First Mover Advantage Key to Starwood's Leadership Role in the Middle East
Starwood's first-mover advantage in the Middle East dates back to 1966 with the debut of the Sheraton Kuwait Hotel & Towers, the company's first hotel to open outside of the United States. The property was also the first five-star hotel in Kuwait to be managed by an international company. Since that time, Starwood's portfolio in the Middle East has surged to 47 hotels in ten countries, including: United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Bahrain, Pakistan and Yemen.
Starwood Signs Five New Hotel Deals for the Middle East this Month
To mark an auspicious start to the year, Starwood's most senior global executives – Frits van Paasschen, President and CEO; Vasant Prabhu, Vice Chairman and CFO; Matt Avril, President of Hotel Group; Ken Siegel, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel; Simon Turner, President, Global Development and Roeland Vos, President, Europe, Africa, Middle East are currently visiting the region. While in the Middle East, they will sign deals to open five new Starwood hotels in the region.
The new Sheraton Sharjah, due to open in 2013, will mark the debut of Starwood in the emirate. Starwood currently operates 20 hotels in the UAE, more than any other region, and will expand its portfolio with ten new hotels in the country in the next few years.
In 2013, the company will add to its portfolio in Muscat with the addition of three hotels under its W, Westin and Element brands. These hotels will add 700 rooms to the capital's room count when they join the Sheraton Oman which is scheduled to re-open this year following an extensive renovation. This hotel development represents a milestone for the sultanate, which is rapidly developing as a popular tourist destination.
In 2014, Starwood will debut its ultra-luxury St. Regis brand to Jordan with the St. Regis Amman and The Residences at St. Regis Amman.
"Starwood is established as the sector leader in the Middle East and we are dedicated to continued growth and expansion in the region. With 25 hotels set to open in the next few years, this market is integral to our overall growth strategy," said Roeland Vos, President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa & Middle East (EAME). "We are proud to debut our distinct and compelling brands in so many exciting international business and leisure travel destinations."
Eight out of Nine Starwood Brand Flags Fly in the Middle East
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world with 1025 properties in 100 countries and territories with 145,000 employees at its owned and managed properties.

Very fabulous food , awesome place
Very interesting décor and equally lip smacking Teppanyaki food, a combination hard to resist for long. In food, their special grilled dishes and also pastas are worth giving a try. A unique must visit restaurant. Very fabulous food , the peanut sauce is awesome

Thai food is delicious!
We have ordered Thai & Maxican food, and sizzling paneer sizzlers.
I really liked Thai food.
Maxican wrap and Sizzling Paneer was Ok (Not bad, but not too good)
Amewsome ambience! (5 Out of 5) Really a nice place to hangout with friends.
If you love to eat Thai food then you should definitely go there.

waiting to there again
On a cool summer evening, we set out for a long ride on the bike. We had not decided where we would be going to have our dinner. We thought we would just stop by at any place that catches our fancy on the way. And thats how we landed up at NOT JUST GRILL, a very swanky place near Prahaladnagar Garden. The board read that they served Teppanyaki.
The interior is very good, elegant yet comfortable. The food was very tasty, to say the least. Now let my ratings say the rest.
Taste- 10/10
Ambience- 9/10
Service- 9/10
Value for money- 9/10

Poor service
Not sure how this place got some award for their food. The food is nothing special and the service is below what I was expecting based on the reviews.
We started our evening with a waiter who tipped the cutlery off the plates (wrapped in a cloth napkin) with considerable noise and no care whatsoever. Some training is seriously required for the waiting staff here!
For starters the 'glass noodles' were very poor - like chewing rubber bands. Admittedly we were advised to change those for something else but surely if some dish is not up to standard it should not be on the menu? Any reasonable chef who is not confident of his/her recipes should not serve poor quality food!
The falafels were poor - more like pakoras or similar with strangely 'chemical' tasting sides of what I can only assume was hummus etc.
The only 'shining light' for our meal was chow mein which as a relatively simple dish can't really be messed up. The bok-choi was tasty, but the dish was let down by a rather 'watery' sauce.
The veg sizzler comprising rice, veggies and some 'hockey-puck' patties (chewing an old boot comes to mind) in a bitter tomato sauce was also a let-down.
To top it all - our table was totally ignored and only after 10 minutes of waving arms around at the end of the meal did one waiter signal 2-fingers (wait 2 minutes?!). The 'captain' was more interested in his notebook at the door, sadly understaffed and/or waiters not trained. NO waiting staff bothered to ask how the food was for the entire meal.
Not worth a repeat visit.

An exceptional experience
fabulous food and great service. We group of eight had the lunch on my birthday last week and were delighted with the whole experience as to my surprise the restaurant was running Global Grill Fest to celebrate its 2nd Anniversary and have to say that it was fabulous... Recommend highly to anyone who loves good food. Great consistency - a truly enjoyable meal each time I visit. Particularly enjoyed the Grill Festival .... Made my this birthday a memorable one with good food and on that we were given discount because of Grill fest
perfect food with perfect sporting environment
We had dinner in March 2011 at Not just Grill during Cricket world cup 2011 and the environment was perfect much sporting at restaurant and its the place you want to come back to again and again. The food is excellent especially Teppanyaki style and the service is perfect. It is an experience, don't come when you have any time restrictions take the time, enjoy the food and the mocktails, experience the flavors Like it !!!!!!!!! i am sure i would visit it again when i am in Ahmadabad to my home town

Loved it !!!
Not Just Grill indeed offers a different dining experience. We went there for the first time and must say we were not disappointed. We ordered Cottage cheese starters which was served with awesome dip. Also the oriental sizzler was a nice try. The best thing was the "Teppanyaki" which is indeed toothsome. The ambience added a perfect weekend setting to unwind with friends and family. I only wish the service was little better. Nevertheless a very different dining experience !!!

Good ambience's But Poor Food ,Service
we went to this place, was impressed by the ambience's and Open kitchen concept, the Lights, the Mock tail bar, being Sunday it was reservation had to me made, the arrangement for reservation was not manged accordingly. less staff persons so they could not mange the guests, After waiting for long time we finally Got out table, order took long time again, crossing the fingers for food would be worth the Hassles, we ordered the Platters, Pasta, and some starters the JNG Platter just messed up the taste... highly disappointed.. :(
February 09,2011
U must have a visit
some ppl seem to have a lil problem with their first experience itself where as even on my 4th visit to the place has not disappointed me yet...
the food is very good... u gotta try Mongolian platter if u like spicy stuff and even the panner ones were good enchiladas were awesome. i was not pleased with mocktails and beverages will be a much better option. for some ppl over here who may ve concerned about the innovativeness of cooking the food... i must say tht it would be inappropriate to say anything against it unless u ve visited japan and had teppanyaki urself :) come on for japanese food this restaurant is a kick start... so hey be happy tht ur having japanese in abad :D

What a Great Suggestion about what to eat
I visited this place and when the guy came to us for taking order, my wife wanted to have kiwi mock-tail and the guy was telling to try some orange one,, woow
in my opinion if we ask for some opinion than only some can share there own ones...
for example if i wanted to order some Paneer sabzi tehn i can ask for best one they can make..
but if i have some own order then how can that guy can suggest something that is totally diff...
Cheers to this kind of Guys... :(

Pissed me off...
I visited this place for their Sizzler Festival, All the four of us were avid sizzler fans.
So Sizzler festival was just the right tym for us to visit NJG.
So we ordered a Grilled Cottage Cheeze Sizzler, another with potatoe smiles & Cheeze balls & Mumbai Salsa (Mexican) Sizzler, With a Teppanyakki Platter of Grilled Cottage Cheeze.
Just when we had made up our mind as to what we wanted to eat, a over-smart captain came to each of us, & tried to suggest things, althought we never asked him for suggestions.
His suggestions were more like dictates & all of us were pretty pissed off. It just to a a very firm statement & arrogant look from my significant other to shut his mouth & bring what we wanted to order.
Just as we assumed, He messed up the order, got us two teppanyakki platters the one that I wanted & the other one that the caption was trying to impose on me.
The food however was decent, butas far as I know
Teppanyaki is a way of cooking as teppan means iron pan and yaki indicates grilling in Japanese. The best part of teppanyaki is that cooking and eating can be done in the same place.
My platter was cooked on an iron pan but in a extremely ordinary fashion, did not seem very innovative to me at all.
To mess it all up further more, The sizzler & mocktail platter that should have costed only 275 Rs. (according to whant was mentioned in the sizzler festival menu card) They added 75rs extra per sizzler for the mocktail's & adamently refused to return the 130rs that they had charged extra...
What a stupid bunch of morons...

Good Decor but not too good food.
The place seems to be constructed with precision. Its a very exclusive interior. but i wish the food was made with the same precision. The menu seemed very mouth watering but disappointment in the end. As for Pricing, people wont mind paying that much had the taste been better.
March 24,2010
Not Just Food
The most confused Restaurant of all times.
Fabulous interiors, Huge depth and inviting colors.
But very very very disappointing Food , they have been promoting their restaurant as Japanese tepyanki food... EEKkks....
I think the chef should know or learn something about tepyanki food and sauce....... Very Much Disappointed
March 13,2010
not worth it
I went to this place a week before.
The interiors are nice and well made.
they have open kitchen facing towards customers. you can ask the manager to cook whatever you want in front of you.
Food is average. But the rates they are charging is very high.
I would advice them to decrease their rates by 20% if they want the customers.
I think its the most expensive restaurant on the Prahladnagar road. but still not the best one.

Heavy develops, builds upon and experiments with existing tech to attempt something new and hopefully discover meaningful applications and solutions. Heavy does not create tech, but rather finds progressive instances and refashions them for artistic and practical deployments.
As html5 grows more robust, web-based animation will increasingly replace flash-based solutions.
Using a photoshop matte painting by one of my best mates ean mering, with plasma propulsion, the alien ship exists from a planetary spacedock in a 6 second animation.
Using a 10 second animation, the heavy train pulls into the subway station, a ghost heavy graf artist exists the train, tags the wall with his signature red paint, and quickly gets back onto the train as it pulls away down the tunnel.
Paperstreets are an experimental urban art / mobile device AR deployment. Heavy hopes to integrate urban art and mobile device AR media to create a transmedia and collaborative urban experience that adults and kids can both enjoy.
In this piece, you are able to graffiti this paris subway wall (including its poster ads) in Heavy's signature red paint. To become a digital graf artist, you will need to please press and drag cursor (desktop) or just use your finger (mobile).
Based on the genetic image evolution (polygon rendering) javascript created by roger alsing, this application allows the user to evolve images from a selection of cultural icons. Users can tweak the parameters to acheive results that best match the orignal icon.
Based on the procedural drawing code developed by mr. doob (i think), Harmony is an HTML5-based online tool that lets you draw on a white canvas using different brushes. It supports a very basic multiply blending effect (as seen in Photoshop) and the developer notes that it is the first attempt to reproduce the functionalities of a drawing application on the web.
Based on the perspective correct texturing code developed by Thatcher Ulrich, this example allows the user to manipulate an image on the web. The user can rotate the image front to back, change the angle, zoom in and out, and view the image wireframe.
Based on the html5 geolocation specification and the initial experiment and UI created by psyked, this application uses the browsers' quite accurate geolocation API.

When the rumor came out of the woodwork just a few days back, I was taken by surprise. I figured the Penguins were more interested in acquiring winger depth than trying to reestablish the dominant three center model that won them a Stanley Cup.
But what do I know about building a competitive hockey team.
Pittsburgh is reported by just about every major outlet to be heavily interested in acquiring Kesler's services. He would be an instant upgrade at the third line center position and has the ability to play wing when needed; however, there is a big problem with this.
For one, Kesler would join the Penguins at a time of depletion. With Pascal Dupuis and Beau Bennett ...
Shocking News
Before the Olympic break the Pittsburgh Penguins announced that Kris Letang had suffered a stroke. The breaking and shocking news had left many in the hockey community stunned.
Letang is a noted "freak" of an athlete. His training regimen mocks that of power lifters, cross fit, football players, and endurance athletes. His unique blend of explosive power and endurance allows him to play over 25 minutes a night in the NHL.
All of this makes a stroke seem highly unlikely, but as the doctors noted, a prior medical condition was the root cause.
In a short press conference Kris Letang revealed that he was found the morning of his stroke by his ...
The Hawks have had a lot to be excited for this year, from an electrifying banner-raising opening night to sending ten athletes to the Olympics (bringing back six who medaled), and as Saturday night approaches, they'll countine their season with one of the most anticipated games of the season-facing the Penguins in the final game of the NHL's Stadium Series at Soldier Field.
Continue Reading
After ending the first part of their season on a road trip where they went 2-1-3, the Blackhawks, along with the rest of the NHL, will have a 2 week break as the Winter Olympic games commence in Sochi, Russia. Four of the 10 Hawks competing in the games will play for the two North American teams, as Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith will return for their second Olympic games after winning gold with Team Canada in Vancouver, while Patrick Sharp will make his Olympic debut for the Canadians. Meanwhile, Patrick Kane will be the only Hawk to represent the stars and stripes of Team USA in hi...
With the injury list for Pittsburgh starting to cool down in the New Year, the Penguins looked to regain their top form.
Unfortunately for the Penguins, an injury to top six forward Pascal Dupuis has left a major void in the roster. His top end speed and defensively responsible style made him a very good compliment to the offensive powers that are Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz.
In his absence, Pittsburgh was able to go 9-2-1 in January. Crosby had his production dip slightly into the range of 1.3 points per game, just below his 1.45 ppg career average. Since his departure Crosby has had a revolving door of wingers including the following: Tanner Glass, Jayson Megna, Brandon S...
On January 20th, 2014 the Pittsburgh Penguins suffered their first home loss in over two months.
The complaints start with a 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers. With the healthiest lineup of the season, a full four days off, and home ice advantage, Pittsburgh managed to play one of the worst games they have played all season.
Allowing five goals is always unacceptable. When a team allows five goals to a bottom percentile scoring threat, then you have an issue.
Since the Pittsburgh Penguins have gotten back a healthy Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, their GAA has risen considerably.
Since the return of Malkin and Letang the Penguins have given up 22 goals in just six ga...
The Penguins only held the lead in Wednesday night's game against the Washington Capitals for 1:54. The good thing is that it was the final 1:54 of the game after rookie defenseman Olli Maatta finally put the Penguins on top for a 4-3 win. The Penguins have now won 13 straight at home setting a new franchise record.
The Capitals got on the board first more than halfway through the first period when Brooks Laich scored shorthanded after a turnover on a breakout pass by Kris Letang. Laich paitently peeled around a fallen Letang who expected a pass before beating Marc-Andre Fleury to the blocker side.
Letang made up for it in the second period tying the game at th...
Despite it being a relative rarity, it would appear that Sidney Crosby enjoys playing in Vancouver. The Penguins snatched victory from the jaws of the orca with stunning late game heroics on Tuesday night. After back to back backhanders by Chris Higgins and Zack Kassian seventeen seconds apart past the midway point of the third period, the Canucks were looking at a well deserved win over a stout opponent.
Late in the third period, things changed, and suddenly. A Crosby clean face off win found its way to Kris Letang who fired a slapshot that was slightly screened initially by Ryan Kesler as he dropped to one knee to block the shot. It was just enough to delay Eddie Lack's ...
Despite two wins over the weekend, the biggest headlines in Pittsburgh were the returns of Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and the 12 game home winning streak.
Malkin, who missed nine games due to a leg injury sustained in Detroit, returned Sunday against the Jets in glorious fashion. Letang also returned on Sunday against the Jets, but will need further time on the ice in order to find his grove.
On Friday, Pittsburgh welcomed divisional for New York Rangers onto Consol ice. It was expected to be a rather close game considering the beat down the Rangers gave the Penguins at MSG just a few weeks back.
Someone forgot to tell Pittsburgh though.
At the 13:09 mark, C...
Leading into the first game after the Christmas break, the top news was the confirmation of Pascal Dupuis' ACL injury and that surgery will be needed likely ending his season. To fill his roster spot, the Penguins had recalled Harry Zolnierczyk to the fold. As well as seeing the return of defenseman Deryk Engelland from his five game suspension for his head hit on Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader.
The first period was mostly controlled by the home side while both teams skated quite well for the first game back from a several day break. Passes for the Penguins were less crisp however and by the end of the first period the shots advantage was 16-7 in favor of the H...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2004 Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi issued a statement today declaring a state of emergency throughout Iraq, except for the Kurdish region in the north.
Iraqi spokesman Asan Alib said the order is for 60 days and that "all concerned ministers should comply." The order, he said, will be carried out in all regions.
Alib said the prime minister expects to hold a press conference Nov. 8 to answer further questions on his decision.
Reading from a prepared statement, the spokesman said Allawi's decision came as a result of escalating violence and daily mass killings that have included even women and children.
He said the crimes, along with the deliberate destruction of Iraq's infrastructure, are part of a plot by "criminals and terrorists" to derail the process toward general elections planned for January.
Today's declaration of a state of emergency came only after the government tried "all peaceful solutions and carried out all possible connections and communications in order to establish a peaceful solution."
An emergency law, issued in August 2004 with the consensus of all the ministers, stated that "all regions in Iraq can be submitted to emergency rules if found necessary," Alib said.
The emergency law was passed "in order to start the end to all violence efforts carried out by the terrorists," he added.
Alib said the "government is serious in maintaining the security of the country, and also it is quite serious in its part toward the general elections and any obstacles in this way be removed by the government."

A - The same country which has released the most 808 State albums.
Hi all
The reason for this is that UK and US imports actually retail for cheaper in JP than domestic JP pressings. To make the JP pressings appealing to the locals, they often include lyric sheets, always a translated OBI and often some biography. Original JP CD singles were all CD3s in 'match book' sleeves. CD5s tend to be EPs or mini-albums and normally have the suffix (X tracks) in brackets after the title. That is why i would rank 'Forecast' as a mini-album compared to say 'Gorgeous'. Although you list 'Bombadin' and 'In yer face' as singles, these may actually be EPs or mini-albums. They are after all compilations of single tracks. FTR, although all discogs list 'Cubik/Olympic/Pacific' as the release a JP translation lists the title as 'Olympic (8 tracks)'. Whatever peoples opinions are, I just love those JP pressings. I only wonder why The Land Of The Rising Son opted to release a 3 track pressing of 'Oops' and not, say the equivalent of the brilliant US edition?

In the latest in her long line of bad decisions, Lindsay Lohan fired her long time (and long suffering lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, who has defended her through her epic legal battles. What the hell could Ms. Holley have done to get the ol' heave ho from Lindsay? Did she hit on that dude from the Wanted? Did she say that Liz & Dick sucked worse than I Know Who Killed Me and Chapter 27 combined!? Nope: She was on her way to the courthouse to broker a deal with the judge that would get he out of jail time in exchange for going to rehab. Ahh. So, she was doing her job well. Got it.
TMZ is reporting that Holley was literally en route to the Santa Monica City Attorney to seal a plea bargain stemming from Lindsay lying to police after a car accident in June of last year. The attorney was apparently warm to the idea of letting Lindsay go in exchange for 6 months of "lockdown rehab," but before Shawn could pull the trigger on the deal, she got 86'd by Lilo in exchange for a new lawyer. Who is this new hired hand, you ask? Well, he apparently got banned from practicing law for a spell in the 90s. Now that sounds more like Lindsay's style!

Gallery: "Vertical Farming Cabinets"
|Vertical Growing Cabinets: Currently, NuAgri is designing vertical farming cabinets to increase growing potential. In this design plantlets are placed at a forty-five degree angle to the rectangular cabinet, ideal for maximum natural sunlight absorption; and for artificial lighting regardless of light fixture positioning (horizontally above or vertically between rows). In addition, NuAgri is working to utilize aeroponic irrigation systems. Aeroponic nutrient / water management systems significantly reduce water and nutrient needs. These benefits address client's concerns for increased production space, plant safety protocols, and more efficient use of resources.
|Vertical Growing Columns: NuAgri's NuStax is a cylinder shape, vertical column structure designed to grow as many as 64 plants. With allowances for growing space this equates to 7 plants per square foot. Potential markets include commercial growers who are looking to increase their plant density and or who are limited in the space they have to work with. NuStax will also incorporate an aeroponic watering / nutrient management system, significantly reducing resource requirements. These benefits address client's concerns for increased production space, plant safety protocols, and more efficient use of resources.

Program Description
YMRP was established based on the principle that strong neighborhoods have social safety nets, woven by community to support community and to raise social responsibility. YMRP provideS a "social safety net" for low-income young mothers between the ages of 18 and 26 who envision success in spite of their circumstances. With limited options for affordable housing, safe and affordable childcare and/or reasonable employment, many young mothers are forced to discontinue their educational pursuits in order to raise their families.
The purpose of the YMRP is to assist low-income single mothers and their children to achieve successful independent, self-sufficient lives. Programmatic goals have been developed to strengthen participants in the following key areas:
• Academic Excellence
• Career Development
• Financial Security
• Parental Responsibility
• Social/Spiritual Awareness
YMRP seeks to under gird young women who in spite of their challenges, demonstrate a desire to succeed by virtue of their commitment to be enrolled in an area college, university or accredited training institutions. Eligible participants must be the custodial parent of up to two children and be registered in a two or four-year college or university, or accredited training institute. They should have at least part-time employment, and be willing to accept assistance to obtain employment that will enable the mother to sustain her household upon exiting the program. Finally, the mother must be willing to honor YMRP schedule program commitments that provide a year-long focus on self-growth and strengthening of parenting skills.
YMRP provides the following services for up to five women and their children:
- A fully furnished row house with rent subsidy for one to two years
- A weekly workshop series with topics on budget/finance, parenting, computer skills, job readiness, healthy relationships, etc.
- A program mentor, consisting or a professional woman who has volunteered to be available to a mother as a friend and advisor
- Counseling support services, as needed
- A structure whereby participants learn to establish healthy boundaries for the raising for their children, and community networks to sustain them upon exiting the program
Current participants pay between $75 to $250 per month (depending on their income) to cover rent and utilities. This payment falls far short of the approximate $9,500 per month in direct costs that PRH pays for housing, utilities, childcare, workshops/programs and staffing for each participant. Participants also establish a savings plan to assist them to budget for realistic housing costs upon exiting the program.
To-date, over fifty (50) participants have "graduated" from the program. Some are still pursuing their degree; others are professional artists, college professors, accountants, pharmacists, interior designers, teachers, bankers, business professionals and lawyers.
If you are willing to lend your support to these courageous young women, you may "Adopt-A-Mother" with a single or monthly donation of any amount to offset our expenses.

The markup in the House Judiciary Committee of the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, has begun. Observers expect at least two days of markups, and the bill wouldn't see the House floor until sometime thereafter, probably next year. There are over 60 amendments on the bill, and opponents on the committee are dragging out the proceedings. Rep. Zoe Lofgren refused to waive the reading of the bill, so Judiciary staffers needed to spend an hour doing that.
Understand that this bill is getting a hearing, and a markup, because very wealthy interests want it to pass. It so happens that very wealthy interests want it to fail, but that puts it on the agenda as well, because both sides can go to their funders and raise money off the threat of the bill passing or failing. This becomes a bonanza for K Street lobbyists. There are over 1,000 of them working on SOPA.
Zach Carter has another long piece in the Huffington Post on this issue, and it fits with the familiar theme of Congress being a way-station to mediate large corporate disputes. Like patent reform or the swipe fee bill, SOPA pits two powerful industries against one another – in this case, Hollywood versus Internet companies. And the amount of money thrown around to influence policymakers borders on the obscene.
"Hollywood and the recording industry have a one-item agenda. You can't say to them, 'If you go softer on this, I'll give you that,' because there's no 'that' for them," says Gigi Sohn, president and Co-Founder of Public Knowledge, the leading nonprofit on Internet freedom issues, and a staunch opponent of SOPA.
The top target has been the Judiciary Committee, a powerful circle of lawmakers that is responsible not only for intellectual property rules, but judicial appointments, bankruptcy law and scores of issues involving constitutional rights [….]
According to an analysis by the Sunlight Foundation, a nonpartisan government transparency nonprofit, a full 16 former House Judiciary Committee staffers are now lobbying on intellectual property issues, with all but a handful pushing to enact SOPA.
So far, Hollywood, the more established industry, has won out. SOPA has bipartisan support (it also has bipartisan opposition; ideology doesn't play as much of a role on this bill). If it weren't for the serious grassroots opposition this probably would have passed already. But the large Internet companies have rallied, and the outcome is now more in doubt. Especially because Constitutional concerns have been raised.
The much-maligned Ron Wyden, he of Ryan-Wyden, is actually the hero on this bill, placing a hold on it and vowing to mount a filibuster if the bill reaches the Senate floor. The combination of grassroots organizing and the support inside Congress has led the supporters of SOPA to backtrack a bit, though not enough for the opposition's tastes.
Still, there's a lot of support on Capitol Hill to do the wishes of the content providers. If this means disabling websites, breaking the principle of net neutrality, hobbling the future for user-generated sites and fundamentally overturning the structure of the Internet, so be it.

US letter: Syria regime used sarin twice in AleppoThe Associated Press | June 15,2013UNITED NATIONS Syrias government used the nerve agent sarin on two occasions in the embattled city of Aleppo in March and April, according to a letter from a top U.S. diplomat that The Associated Press obtained Friday.
The letter from U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also cited two other incidents of possible chemical weapons use by the regime of President Bashar Assad.
President Barack Obama authorized military aid to Syrias rebels for the first time Thursday after the White House announced it had firm evidence of chemical weapons use by Assads regime.
But Ban said Friday he opposes the U.S. decision to send weapons and that there can be no certainty of chemical weapons use in Syria without an on-the-ground investigation. The U.N. chief reiterated his longstanding position that there is no military solution to Syrias two-year-old conflict, which has killed more than 93,000 people. He said increasing the flow of weapons to either side would not be helpful.
The validity of any information on the alleged use of chemical weapons cannot be ensured without convincing evidence of the chain-of-custody, Ban said.
Rice, who will become Obamas national security adviser in July, told reporters Friday that the U.S. government is very confident in its assessment.
Weve taken two months to reach this through a very careful and deliberative process, Rice said.
In the letter to Ban, Rice said the United States has determined that sarin was used in a March 19 attack on the Aleppo suburb of Khan al-Assal and in an April 13 attack on the neighborhood of Shaykh Maqsud. She said unspecified chemicals, possibly including chemical warfare agents, were used May 14 in an attack on Qasr Abu Samrah and in a May 23 attack on Adra.
The United States requests that the U.N. fact-finding mission include these incidents in its ongoing investigation and report, as appropriate, on its findings, Rice said.MORE IN Wire NewsSALT LAKE CITY The renewed national scrutiny of the Confederate flag has officials again...
