As recently as two decades ago, terrestrial TV stations could be confident that consumers would tune in to watch the latest ground-breaking documentary, and that the battle for the prime-time advertising slots by top household name brands would secure revenue streams.
But a lot has changed since then. A relentless march towards super-connectivity has led to a tangible change in how (and when) people are consuming entertainment. Thanks to developments in broadband infrastructure supported by governments across the world, a distinct shift in the balance of power has occurred – away from the provider and towards the consumer.
A rise in online resources (such as torrents, streaming sites and newsgroups) and mainstream entertainment providers has facilitated this shift to viewing TV "on demand". In the UK, the first mainstream entertainment providers were Sky and Virgin; their comprehensive electronic program guides (EPGs) led consumers to embrace a new-found ability to select what they wanted to watch, whenever and wherever they pleased. With this shift of power away from the provider and towards the consumer, the major providers began to adjust their business models accordingly and looked to other methods of guaranteeing high viewing numbers.
This adjustment has largely involved a move to incorporate a greater online presence. Major broadcasters now offer web-based platforms allowing on demand viewing for internet-connected consumers. An ability to catch up for free on missed TV programs on televisions, laptops, computers, mobile phones and tablets is now the accepted norm in the majority of developed markets.
In parallel to this, some of the most important areas of growth and development during this period were introduced by the hardware manufacturers themselves. The launch of seventh-generation, internet-enabled consoles from Sony and Microsoft (the PS3 and XBOX 360) represented the birth of direct-to-TV streaming, as the platforms sought to go beyond the image of "toys" to become "entertainment consoles". The seven-year evolution of this technology has left consumers with Connected TVs that feature pre-installed broadcaster and third-party streaming software, as well as integrated web browsers, which are now available for less than the cost of an iPhone. Indeed, our latest global forecasts reveal that Smart TV sales – with regards to liquid crystal display (LCD) models – are set to reach 70.2 million units in 2013, a year-on-year increase of 47% compared to 2012. Undoubtedly, the easy-to-use interfaces that allow the average consumer to stream on demand content direct to their TV set through their home broadband connection are driving this popularity.
The upside to the pace of this development is that consumers effectively now have control over content – what they watch, when and where they watch, and how they watch.
However, the potential consequences of this for commercial broadcasters and content owners are significant, particularly in the realms of advertiser reach and engagement. For consumers catching up on their favorite TV shows, it is all too easy to fast-forward through ad breaks, negating the impact of the ad impressions. This behavioral slide towards time-shifted viewing is starting to leave broadcasters with a growing revenue hole and a persistent headache. Direct streaming services like video-sharing website YouTube have sought to counteract this, with the latest "choose your advert" model, allowing users to select either a feature-length pre-roll or two shorter "ad breaks" in longer content.
Taking the UK as an example, only 10% of viewing is currently time-shifted. While, therefore, this doesn't represent a huge threat to traditional advertising models at present, the rapid increase in content and cross-platform expansion suggests that this is a figure is likely to grow.
To counteract this, TV broadcasters have taken steps to retain the "appointment to view" nature of their heavyweight content, that is ensuring that viewers watch TV-scheduled content. Live sport remains a huge draw for all broadcasters as the nature of big events draw in a guaranteed live viewing audience. Live reality shows are also used by broadcasters to retain "appointment to view". Popular live talent shows battle in the primetime ratings wars, often featuring live phone-in votes to help drive live engagement and interaction with the content. The rise of live, "play-along" content has also been prominent, with the likes of international game show franchise "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" utilizing smartphone and tablet platforms to drive second-screen interaction among those watching the live show.
Such innovations have been largely well received and considered something of a success in sustaining viewers' interest in live content. However, it is worth noting that the presence of a second-screen platform doesn't necessarily translate to engagement with the TV content. Twitter recently published a white paper on how the microblogging platform is able to drive "discovery and engagement with TV". While the paper makes some valid points about the link between social buzz and TV viewing, the levels of content engagement appear to vary significantly with the type of programming. While live entertainment programming continues to generate viewer engagement with both content and social media throughout, we see a markedly different response to serious programming (such as US drama "Homeland") which tends to receive large volumes of buzz both before and after. Here, it is the draw generated by this buzz around the content that is the pull for the masses tuning in – as opposed to the time-sensitive nature of live reality and entertainment shows.
So what can we expect in the future? While the format of live events and heavily-promoted entertainment content remains successful at driving consumers' "appointment to view", we are likely to witness a steady decrease in overall live viewing audiences. The migration towards on-demand viewing suggests that content owners must innovate ahead of the curve to develop their content and retain the live audience.

An apparatus and method for efficient hashing uses both an identifying portion of a data packet, e.g., source and destination ID, and an identifying value of the node, e.g., the IP address of the node, to generate a hash result. By inserting a unique value into the hash operation at each node, the invention effectively provides for a different hash implementation at each node. As a result, in situations where multiple paths or multiple links within a path are available to forward packets, traffic can be split over the multiple paths and links. Inefficient utilization of network links found in prior systems which use the same hash operation at each node are eliminated.

The present invention is related to techniques for forwarding data packets on networks and is more particularly related to a technique for forwarding encapsulated data packets on a network in which network nodes are in general connected by multiple paths.
In digital computer networks such as the Internet, collections of data, referred to as "datagrams", are typically transferred from node to node over the network in packets. Each packet of data typically includes a header portion and a data portion. In accordance with the common Internet protocol (IP), the header portion typically includes a 32-bit source identifying portion which identifies the source node that originated the packet and a 32-bit destination identifying portion which identifies the destination node to which the packet is ultimately to be transferred. A packet header can also include other predefined fields such as a protocol field.
At each node, a router is used to forward the packet to the next node in the path toward the destination node. When a router receives a packet, it examines the destination address in the packet header. It then searches its locally stored routing table to determine the next node to which the packet should be transferred in order to ensure that it will reach its destination, typically along the shortest possible path. The router then forwards the packet to the next node identified in the routing table. This process continues at each successive node until the destination node is reached.
In many cases, in such a datagram IP network, when forwarding an IP packet, there are situations in which there are two or more choices for the next step or "hop" that the packet can take, i.e., the next node to which the packet is to be forwarded.
In general, multiple hosts 14 are coupled to each node A and F. A host 14 coupled to node A may have a sequence of multiple IP packets destined for another host 14 attached to node F. It is desirable to keep the packets associated with any one host-to-host flow in order. This is important to improve the efficiency of communication. For example, in many cases, the hosts 14 may be running Internet applications over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and TCP may make use of "slow start." When applications are making use of TCP slow start, if packets are delivered out of order, the TCP implementation assumes that the misordering of packets is caused by congestion in the network. In response, the rate of traffic transmitted may be reduced. If in fact there is no congestion in the network, then this will result in less efficient use of the network. In any case, it is often advisable if not critical that packets associated with the same source/destination node pair be transferred on the same series of links.
Typically, IP routers solve this problem by choosing between multiple equal-cost choices for the next hop for a particular packet. The router typically performs an analysis of the packet header contents to assign each packet to a link. Usually, this involves a hash function of the five-tuple of fields in the IP header, i.e., source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, source port number, destination port number, or a subset of these fields, such as source IP address and destination IP address. A hash function is designed to perform a computation on one or more data words and return a unique data word of shorter length. For example, a hash function performed on two 32 bit IP addresses may divide the combined 64-bit word by a constant and return as a result the value of the reminder in fewer bits, e.g., five. Other hash procedures include the use of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and/or the use of a checksum.
Each time a hash procedure is performed on the same initial values, the same result is obtained. This ensures that packets associated with any one source/destination pair always take the same path, while simultaneously allowing different packets to take different paths. As noted above, sometimes additional fields may be used for the hash. It is noted that any packets belonging to the same flow of packets, i.e., packets which should be kept in order, will also contain the same protocol field in the IP header. Packets which contain a different value in the protocol field may therefore be safely transmitted on a different path. Similiarly, if the protocol field indicates that the next higher level protocol is TCP, then packets which contain different TCP port numbers can be routed on different paths. For these reasons, it is common for the hash to also take account of the protocol and port fields.
Thus, referring to
As the demand for data network services increases, it is becoming increasingly common for the interconnection between any two nodes to include multiple parallel links. Using multiple links increases the total bandwidth available for data transmission. Also, using multiple links allows for the possibility that if one link fails, there will still be a path through the network between any two nodes.
In this case, the same technique as described above for forwarding packets can be used. In particular, node B can perform a hash on the IP source and destination addresses. In this case, node B has four choices for possible links to use in forwarding a packet toward node F. Node B can therefore use a hash function with four possible output values. Each of the four links is considered a possible choice for forwarding of the data packet. In this case, as in the previous case, packets for any single source/destination pair will always go via the same link, i.e., via either one of the two links to C or one of the two links to D. However, the packets averaged over all of the source/destination pairs will generally be split, with some being sent via each of the four links. This allows for more efficient loading of the network by splitting traffic among multiple available paths as well as multiple available links within a path.
A problem occurs in conventional hashing which substantially reduces the effectiveness of the function. In a typical network, the same hashing function is used at every node in the network. Consequently, for a particular packet being forwarded along a path, the same hash function result is obtained at every node. Also, the packets that actually arrive at a particular node in the network are a function of the hash values that have been computed at other upstream nodes. This implies that the hash function, as implemented at any particular node, will not obtain all possible output values with the same probability. As a result of these factors, the conventional hashing function does not provide for utilization of the network resources in the most efficient fashion.
The present invention provides an approach to hashing which effectively performs a different hashing operation at each node along a path, such that the above drawbacks of prior approaches are avoided. The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for transferring data on a network which includes a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of links. At least one of the nodes is connected to multiple links over which data can be forwarded from the node onto the network toward another node. The data includes an identifying portion which identifies a source node which originated the data and a destination node to which the data is to be transferred. The at least one node is associated with a node identifying value which serves to identify the node and distinguish the node from other nodes on the network. A link selection value, which is used to identify the one of the links out of the node on which the data is to be transferred, is generated using the identifying portion of the data and the node identifying value. Because the selection value is generated using the node identifying value, which is unique to the particular node, the selection value will depend on the particular node generating the value and will be different at each node, even for the same data having the same data identifying portion.
The data can be a packet of data and, in particular, can be an Internet Protocol (IP) data packet. The identifying portion of the packet can be at least a portion of the IP packet header. For example, the identifying portion can include the source node ID, the destination node ID and/or the protocol portion of the IP packet header. The node identifying value can be a single constant value which is configured in each router or can be a portion, e.g., the low-order bits, of the IP address of the node router.
In one embodiment, in generating the fink selection value, a logical operation, for example, a hash operation, is performed on the identifying portion of the data and the node identifying value. Again, the identifying portion of the data can include the source ID, the destination ID and/or the protocol fields of the header portion of the data packet. The hash operation can include a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) performed on the identifying portion of the data and the node identifying value.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
In this case, router B may use multi-path, sending some packets via router C and some via router D. In a conventional hashing configuration, all of the routers A-F are implemented with the same hashing function. Given that the packets have various source addresses and/or various destination addresses, it is possible for router B to perform a hash function on the source and destination addresses in order to send some packets via node C and some via node D while sending all packets corresponding to a particular source/destination pair via the same path. This ensures that a good split of traffic is achieved on the B-C and B-D links, while preserving packet order within each individual host-to-host flow.
In the network 200 of
To illustrate the problem, it is assumed that the hashing function in the routers in the network 200 consists of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) function on the IP source and destination addresses of packets. It is also assumed that all packets with an even result are sent on one link, and all packets with an odd result are sent on the other link. For example, at node B, it is assumed that all packets with an even result are sent to node C, and all packets with an odd result are sent to node D. Also, at node C, all packets with an even result of the CRC are sent on the upper link 213 a to E, and all packets with an odd result are sent on the lower link 213 b to node E.
The problem here is that all of the packets that arrive at node C (from A to F) will be packets for which the CRC hash function in this example returns an even result. Given that node C will perform the exact same hash function on the exact same fields in the IP packet, the same result will occur, meaning that all packets will result in an even hash value when the function is evaluated at node C. As a result, all packets will take the upper link 213 a to node E, and the lower link 213 b will not be used at all. This is a very unequal and inefficient utilization of the links from node C to E.
In this case, because of the hash operation performed at node B, node C receives only packets with even hash values. When node C performs its hash operation on the packets, only even results will be obtained, and all packets will be forwarded on link 313 f to node E and on link 313 g to node G. The links 313 c to node F and 313 h to node G would not be used at all, again resulting in very inefficient use of network resources.
In accordance with the invention, a different hash operation is performed at each node along a path such that these problems in conventional hashing approaches are eliminated. This approach ensures that a relatively equal splitting of traffic can be achieved at each node such that network resources are more efficiently utilized.
For general applications to networks, it would be difficult to implement a different hashing procedure at each node on a network, given the large number of nodes. Instead, the hashing operation of the invention operates on both specific fields in the data packet and an additional input value that is unique to each router. For example, the additional input value can be a single constant value configured in each router, or can be a portion, e.g., the low-order bits, of the IP address of the router. Hence, in one embodiment, the hashing operation can be performed on the source ID and destination ID of the packet being transferred and the IP address of the router. The hash operation produces a result that is unique to each router, even though the operation is performed for the same packet. As a result, the problems described above with conventional hashing procedures are eliminated.
In one embodiment, the particular hash operation performed at each node is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) which includes the additional unique node-identifying input value. The CRC function behaves differently when the node-identifying unique value is used in accordance with the invention. To illustrate, it is assumed that a node is applying a CRC to a set of packets such that there are n possible outcomes. It is further assumed that there is a set of packets such that a CRC applied to those packets will result in only m unique values out of a space of n possible values, where m<n. If the CRC is instead applied to the same set of packets using another unique value, i.e., the node-unique value, then the CRC will now result in n unique values in the space of n possible values. This allows an effectively independent hash function to be applied at each node in a network.
Specifically, the CRC operation in accordance with the invention has two operands, namely, the input data for which the CRC is to be calculated and a fixed operand, often referred to as the generator polynomial. As known in the art, the generator polynomial is selected based on various characteristics of the CRC calculation, including the size of the CRC result. The CRC calculation is considered to be a division of polynomials with binary coefficients.
The CRC calculation involves taking the input data represented by such a polynomial and dividing by the generator polynomial. The remainder of the division is the CRC result. In practice, since a digital computer stores data as binary digits, polynomial arithmetic is implemented as binary arithmetic without carries between bit positions.
In one embodiment, the input data to the CRC calculation includes the information used to identify the packet of data being transferred. For example, the input data can include the source address and destination address from the packet header. In addition, the input data to the CRC also includes the node-identifying (node-specific) value. The two addresses as well as the node-specific value can be combined into a single long multiple-bit word. For example, in this illustrative embodiment, the source address and destination address are each 32 bits long, and the node specific value can be 16 bits long. Hence, the input data word to the CRC calculation is a single 80-bit word. This input data word is used to perform the CRC calculation with the preselected generator polynomial to produce the hash result. Because, the node-specific value is used as part of the CRC, the hash value is unique to the particular node router.
In another embodiment, the node-specific value is not part of the input data word to the CRC. Instead, it is used as an initial value for the CRC computation. In the CRC computation, a temporary register is used to store the updated value of the CRC result as the computation is performed. At each step of the calculation, this register is updated with the latest value of the CRC result. In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, the node-specific value is loaded into the temporary register before the calculation begins. The calculation is then performed on the generator polynomial and the input data, which in this case includes only the information from the packet being transferred, for example, the source address and destination address for the packet. Hence, the node-specific value is used in this case as an initial value for the CRC result which is updated as the calculation proceeds. Once again, because the node-specific value is used in the CRC computation, the hash produces a different result at each node for the same data packet.
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Beautiful Tuesday with more sunny days to comeOctober 8th, 2013 at 3:26 pm by Robb Ellis under Weather
It's a beautiful afternoon across central Indiana with temperatures moving into the upper 60s and low 70s. Most locations will likely see highs in the low 70s this afternoon.
With plenty of dry air in place, and high pressure taking control, we're expecting nothing but clear skies through the rest of the afternoon. Once the sun sets, temperatures will drop pretty quickly, with lows tonight expected in the mid 40s.

"The reason we do it so early is so people can get out and really see what's on the ground and the trash before the undergrowth comes in," says Regina Nichols, Project Manager at Delta Laboratories.
Delta Laboratories is sponsoring this Earth Day clean up. It's taking place between March 24th and April 22nd. "First you scout around for a safe and accessible location that you would like to see improved. We all have them we drive by them and we are bothered by garbage and things that we see," says Nichols.
Once you find a spot, get some people to help. Then register at any local Friendly's Restaurant and pick up free trash bags to use. Once the cleanup is over you can bring the trash back to the dumpsters at Friendly's and then fill out a clean-up report. There's even an ice cream incentive to participate.
There is a lot of work to be done. Organizers expect more than two thousand people will take part in the clean-up effort this year. "One person, one bag, it all makes a difference," says Nichols.
Last year 1,400 people collected more than 800 bags of trash and debris. Nichols says it's an important thing to do, not just because it looks better, but because over time trash can have a damaging effect
"Meanwhile the chemicals from these items leach into our groundwater, into our streams, into our waterways and then they wonder why our beaches are closed in the summer," adds Nichols.
In fact, recent research shows Lake Ontario is the most stressed of all the great lakes.

She's arguably one of the best female golfers, and because she's a native daughter, Dottie Pepper is much beloved in the area. However, she had a secret that few people knew about. Now, she's talking about it in the hopes it will helps others – especially kids.
Pepper is an award winning golfer. She's arguably one of the best female golfers- winning major championships while playing in the LPGA. She's also traveled the world as a commentator for NBC, The Golf Channel and ESPN. However, there's still one thing that's tougher for her than a hole in one-- something she hasn't been able to get a good grip on.
"We had our 30th high school reunion and I didn't go because I knew I would have to see her," said Pepper.
She was reliving a painful memory of a childhood bully.
"Gum in the hair, she stole my bike she was a bully in my neighborhood," Pepper explained. "The scars as kids last and things bring them back up."
However last year, as if she were staring down a ball on a difficult course, Pepper decided to take on the issue of bullying in a new book for kids. It's called "Bogey Tees Off."
The book is actually the latest in a series of books by Pepper for children, but the personal connection makes her want to really reach out to kids because she was one of those kids who did not know how to speak up about bullying.
In her book, one of the characters does speak up for the bullied character, named Bogey.
"I think it is as much about speaking up as about being the actual bully," said Pepper.
A book signing with Pepper is scheduled for Friday, August 29 at Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs. It goes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's
Cancer Center Director
Lewis Cantley, PhD, has soured on sugar. As he told the New York Times Magazine earlier this year, "Sugar scares me."
Here's the reason behind his fears: He believes that dietary sugar increases insulin resistance and that insulin signaling may be a necessary step in many human cancers, particularly breast and colon cancer.
As the leader of one of five scientific "Dream Teams" financed by the national coalition
Stand Up To Cancer, Cantley is studying the link between a specific insulin-signaling gene called PI3K and tumor development in breast cancers and other cancers common to women.
Last month, during the taping of an upcoming national television interview about the possible link between sugar and cancer, Cantley said he no longer eats refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup, if he can avoid it. Stay tuned for the broadcast later this year or early next to learn more about this intriguing new scientific theory.

Acid reflux, sometimes referred to as heartburn, is usually easy to treat. But when the condition becomes chronic and traditional treatments fail, rising stomach acid can damage the lining of the esophagus, leading to a pre-cancerous condition called Barrett's Esophagus (BE). As many as 3.3 million adults over the age of 50 are diagnosed with BE each year.
Center for Advanced Endoscopy at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center became the first in Boston to offer a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment for BE. Radiofrequency Ablation Therapy delivers heat energy in a controlled, precise manner, completely removing the damaged tissue without impacting other structures. Research studies indicate BE patients can be safely cured 90 to 100 percent of the time with this technique.
"The standard of care for Barrett's with low grade dysplasia has now changed from cautious waiting to Radio Frequency (RF) ablation," says
Dr. Ram Chuttani, Director of Interventional Gastroenterology at BIDMC. "Also, for many patients with high grade dysplasia in Barrett's, this is now the accepted therapy rather than major surgery."
"Even in some patients with non-dysplastic Barrett's, based on our landmark study with five-year follow-up showing 92 percent cure rate, RF ablation may become an acceptable option," adds
Dr. Douglas Pleskow, Co-Director of GI Endoscopy at BIDMC.

Food and Drug Administration will hold a public meeting next month after saying it is "concerned" that a newer generation of birth control pills may raise the risk for serious blood clots more than older forms of the Pill.
The FDA's renewed concern came one day after a study published in the British Medical Journal suggested women taking birth control pills with a newer progestin hormone, called drospirenone, had twice the risk of clots compared to those who took the older form of contraceptive pills.
Contraceptive pills containing drospirenone include Yaz or Yasmin. The review also found that women who take the Ortho Evra patch and the Nuvaring vaginal ring also had higher risk of blood clots.
For now, the FDA is not advising that most women switch to another form of contraception.
"If your birth control pill contains drospirenone, do not stop taking it without first talking to your health care professional," the agency said.
Dr. Allen Hamdan, Clinical Director of
Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the
CardioVascular Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center agrees, but says women should watch for signs of problems.
"Contact your health care professional immediately if you develop any symptoms of blood clots, including persistent leg pain, severe chest pain or sudden shortness of breath," Dr. Hamdan advises.
He also adds that if you smoke and are over 35 years of age, you should not take a combination oral contraceptive.
"Smoking and increased age heighten the risk that you could experience serious cardiovascular events, including blood clots," he notes.

Few things can deflate confidence more than waking up with a big ol' honkin' zit. I know. The word is even gross. It's the ultimate killjoy. And the worst part of all is it's not like blemishes just magically disappear in an hour! We have to live with them for a few days. And it sucks.
But. There actually are a few ways to drastically reduce the life of a pimple -- to a day or possibly even ... an hour. Yes, I'm being serious.
Here are five weird ways to banish a blemish (almost) instantly.

Paul Cuffee's After-School Club (ASC) provides students at the Lower School (grades K-5) and Middle School (grades 6-8) with a wide range of fun and educational activities during the hours immediately after school. The ASC operates Monday to Friday throughout the school year to ensure that students have consistent access to high-quality supervised programming. (Parents are notified in advance of any days the ASC will be closed, such as on some early-release days.) The ASC has a sliding-scale fee based on family income.
Research shows that children who participate in well-run after-school programs discover interests that give them purpose, form relationships with adult role models, are more likely to stay in school through graduation, and generally avoid dangerous behaviors that can occur during the unsupervised hours after school. Our ASC is designed to promote students' physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development through academic and recreational activities that encourage cooperation and a positive attitude about school. Our mission is to expand learning through quality programs using all available resources within the school community and the city of Providence.
The ASC is licensed by the RI Department of Children and Youth and Families. We maintain a staff-to-child ratio of 1:13 at all times. The ASC is operated by a program manager, a site coordinator, and a team of energetic and caring ASC teachers who understand the needs of children and receive ongoing professional development.

How to make the perfect curry
Dreaming of the perfect dal? Fancy a mouth-watering madras? We asked top curry experts for their best tips
Preparing a curry at home can seem like a formidable and time-consuming business, with a long list of ingredients and high expectations to contend with. Getting a curry right can be a balancing act. But choose a good recipe and stick to a few simple rules, and you can achieve curry perfection.
We asked Rohit Chugh, founder of London's Indian street food restaurant, Roti Chai and greatcurryrecipes.net blogger Dan Toombs, aka The Curry Guy, for their secrets to making a good curry.
Start with the basics
Making a good curry is no flash in the pan. To achieve the best flavour, you have to invest time from the start. This lamb curry for example, needs four hours to marinate. Slow cooking your meat can be vital for flavour too, says Rohit.
"People take shortcuts by using the wrong equipment," he says. "When braising, always use a heavy bottomed pan to cook slowly on a low heat or you risk drying out the meat and trapping in the flavour. The key is letting the flavours infuse throughout and allowing the spices to get inside the meat."
Fresh herbs and spices
Curry leaves, coriander, garlic, ginger and chillies are among the ingredients you will most commonly need. Don't worry if you don't have easy access to fresh herbs and spices. Our fenugreek chicken recipe uses dried fenugreek.
Alternatively, "it's fine to bulk buy, grind and blend these products into pastes with a little water and freeze them in ice cube trays to be added to curries," says Dan. "You will not lose much flavour."
Common pitfalls
After putting time, effort and love into your curry, the last thing you want to do is fall at the final hurdle.
"Yogurt is used to thicken and flavour many curries," says Dan. "It is important to add it one tablespoon at a time while stirring constantly. If you add the yogurt too quickly, it will curdle. A lot of cookbooks fail to point this out."
And if your sauce is too thick? "If you need to thin your sauce, the best option is water. It's the thickness of the sauce that's the problem, not the flavour. Adding another ingredient will put the balance out," says Rohit.
Don't be heavy handed
If your dish tastes bland, it's tempting to add more spice. "People often think Indian food is all about heat," says Rohit.
"Being heavy handed with herbs and spices can ruin a dish, especially in the case of, say, saffron and turmeric. But actually, people often forget about the basics – salt and pepper. Missing your basic seasoning can often throw a dish out and is often where people go wrong and panic by putting more spices in."
Finally, be brave
Curry recipes have evolved over time, so don't be afraid to adapt recipes as you become more confident.
"A lot of recipes have been passed from generation to generation," says Rohit. "They have been fine tuned. There's nothing wrong with playing with it. Go with your own palate. It's not about creating a dish that's spot on. It's about creating a dish that is spot on for you."

Atlanta nightclub sues LeBron James
Mar 8, 2011, 1:10 PM EDT
Pretty much wherever LeBron James goes, there is a party.
In many cities where the Heat play, there are parties at clubs, ones where LeBron is paid to attend (and his friends end up making some money on the deal, think the show Entourage). But now the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that a deal over parties when James is coming to Atlanta has led to a lawsuit.
Atlanta's Opera nightclub is suing the Miami Heat player and the Gold Room over an appearance James is scheduled to make later this month.
In a complaint filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court, Opera accuses James of reneging on a promise to appear for one hour on March 17, for which he was to be paid $25,000. James, who last summer infamously jilted his longtime team the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Heat, will be in town the night before Miami is scheduled to play the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.
The conflict arose when James' agent said competing club, the Gold Room, was also pursuing him for a special appearance. The suit claims James' agent had already taken a $12,000 deposit and a second for $3,000 when he notified Opera on March 4 that James would not appear and would go to the Gold Room appearance instead.
The plantif later told the AJC that the issue is with the "agent" that is promoting the party, Chubbie Baby. As Matt Moore noted over at CBS Eye On Basketball, our promoter is an Ohio-based rapper, complete with a gun charge arrest required of all rappers.
If I were cynical, I would say that someone set up the deal with Opera then got a better offer from Gold Room and tried to switch. But I'm not going to be cynical, and I'm not going to pretend to know what really went down.
I'll also let you draw your own broader implications, if you so choose.

shouldnt you focus more on basketball…the playoffs are what…6 weeks away…instead of trying to get the offense in sync he is more concerned about getting paid for a party…

When you decide to go on national television and proclaim that you're "taking [your] talents to South Beach," you've invited this type of scrutiny. They're the New York Yankees of basketball now. Remember all those ridiculous stories about A-Rod tanning in Central Park? Yeah, now it's Lebron's turn.

LeBron…you think Kobe ever got paid to attend a nightclub the night before a game?
- savocabol1 - Mar 8, 2011 at 3:41 PM
You think Kobe hangs out with/is represented by someone with a name like "Chubbie Baby?"
- hnirobert3 - Mar 9, 2011 at 7:41 AM
Nah, Kobe hangs out in hotels in Eagle, CO.
- thestudiokida - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:12 PM
You people are idiots. Yes Kobe has been paid for all sorts of appearances during the season. Who cares? This is their personal life we're talking about, not basketball.
- bigtrav425 - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:26 PM
The thing i wonder is..if Lebron realizes that he will never reach his "global icon" status now?

It's been that sort of season in Scotland's top flight.
Following the extraordinary demise of Rangers and the restructuring of Scottish football that saw the Ibrox club placed in the bottom tier, Dundee were given just over a week to prepare for life in amongst the top 12.
It's fair to say they have been out of their depth. Just three wins from 26 league games so far underlines how difficult Dundee have found the sudden adjustment to a more demanding environment.
Celtic, with the remarkable resources they have in comparison to everyone else, have built the type of lead in a one-horse race that hasn't surprised anyone.
Thankfully, their supporters have had a successful Champions League campaign to brighten their season.
Despite the recent 3-0 first leg defeat at the hands of Juventus, the Champions League has provided tremendous highlights and as Neil Lennon said in the build-up to what was a magnificent atmosphere in Glasgow's East End, it's the biggest show in town.
The trick for Lennon and his backroom staff will be to ensure they provide Champions League football again next season as most Celtic supporters I speak to find it difficult to imagine their club without it.
On a number of occasions this season, Celtic have struggled to raise their game in some SPL fixtures and Sunday's lunchtime clash will be all about how Celtic approach this one.
If their attitude is spot on, then another six goals to match what they notched last weekend at home to Dundee neighbours United could be on the cards.
Dundee have their pride to play for and manager Barry Smith is still on a steep learning curve.
Just before the January transfer window opened, Smith's future as boss was debated in the boardroom and he was given the green light to continue their fight to escape the drop. In my view it's the correct decision.
Smith has shown himself to be capable of lifting a club from the depths of administration and putting a winning team on the park.
Being completely unprepared for life in the top flight was unforeseen and he deserves the chance to build a side that will be able to compete next time around.
This is a club that has come through really tough times with players being made redundant and Smith has shown enough leadership to merit a longer stay in a job he relishes.
What little quality Smith can call upon is hindered when injuries and suspension kicks in.
Compare that to Celtic who could easily rest 11 first team regulars and still have players of international quality on view.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I am disecting that post, Martin. Have written some stuff......and seen some "new" stuffbut I am too tired tonight to fool with this computer any moreDownloaded Internet Explorer 8 and had to undo it.I will try to post tomorrow. Here we all be.
When you say that Paul never walked a day of persecution in his life, are you saying that he never was persecuted, or that because of his faith walk, the persecution did not become a burden?
St. Paul gloried in tribulations, like anyone does that's believing God 'cause I know I'm going to win this one, so take your best shot, devil
Ok, I'm trying to make some sense out of what Martin and others are saying. Not quite there, yet.In 1 Cor 3, Paul makes a distinction between himself and the believers he is writing to, calling himself a 'master builder,' in the greek, 'architektōn.' This is a really bold assertion. He says he lays the foundation and someone else builds on it--that same foundation the one already having been laid by Christ. 10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.--1Cor 3For this reason, he calls himself (and the other apostles), "God's fellow workers," co-laborers with God, and, this, really puts him on the same level as Christ, it seems, The believers for whom he is laying the foundation, he calls 'God's husbandry, ' harkening back to the garden of Eden, and "God's building," looking forward to the holy city of Revelation.9For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. --1 Cor 3So, in this chapter, we learn that for those who have not yet attained the level of Paul, there are differences.Paul starts chapter 4 by emphasizing that even though he is a servant [of Christ], he has been entrusted with the mysteries of God--mustērion theos. And, it is these mysteries which I think Martin is alluding to when he talks about Paul "transfiguring' himself to present suffering for the sakes of others, when he is not really suffering at all. Well, this is where I get lost.6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. --1 Cor 4[these things] " I have in a figure transferred" [to myself]G3345μετασχηματίζωmetaschēmatizōmet-askh-ay-mat-id'-zoFrom G3326 and a derivative of G4976; to transfigure or disguise; figuratively to apply (by accommodation): - transfer, transform (self).That word, metaschematizo, really means to transform yourself with a disguise, as an actor might do before he walks on stage. In other words, he is purposely presenting himself as something he is not, so that he might benefit others. This kind of has my head spinning."...we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. "... for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. --1 Cor 4How does Paul's disguise, and playacting, if that is what it is, benefit others?
What are we to say, that Paul playacted suffering, so that others would either suffer genuinely when he did not? Or that Paul playacted his suffering, so that others would playact, and the whole world would be given the impression that they suffered for the Gospel when they didn't?
Molly, Paul does not say that he transfigures his suffering. The beginning of 1 Corinthians 4 has nothing to do with suffering. He opens the chapter by talking about not judging eachother's motives for God is the other judge, so we shouldn't even judge ourselves because He knows better than we do. Then he says THESE THINGS (ie the things that he just was talking about).... I have transfigured to myself so that the church can learn from an example. It's not playacting. The word metaschēmatizō can be used to mean a disguise but the word just means to "transfer a form." Transfering a form onto yourself can take TWO meanings: 1) fakery, like Satan transforming (metaschēmatizō) himself into an angel of light (in which case it is a disguise). 2) God "transforming (metaschēmatizō) the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power." That is why the definition says to transform OR disguise. When Paul takes the words regarding his refusal to judge men's motives, he is not disguising himself as something he is not. He is taking on the very form, the embodiment of those words onto himself in the same real way that the body of our humble state will be transformed to the conformity of His glorious body.If the form of the words is transfered to one's self disingenuously, then it is a disguise. If the form of the words is transferred to one's self genuinely, then it is real.He is saying that Paul and Apollos are taking on the form of the words. They are being the very embodiment of the words so that the church can learn. THEN, he moves on from that point to talk about his suffering. Paul was not faking, or playacting, his suffering. It was very real. When Paul and Apollos transfigured the "do not judge" words to themselves, it means they literally abided by those words. They didn't just playact non-judgment.
To transfigure OR disguise.

Molly, Paul suffered in the body.Yes, to you, he did, and to others, he didn't. You see?I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. --1Cor9
1 Peter 1:6-7: "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
We achieve it on the earth. For a little while we suffer for the gospel and then Christ redeems the purchased possession. The suffering that we endure reveals the love of Christ in that while we suffer, we do not retaliate. And the trials of our faith produce patience. It's all very simple.

Theta Pearl Whitman, I am tired of you. This will be my last NaNoWriMo with you as my main character, and I am intersted to move on to other characters. For four years now, I have lived with this same cast, give or take a couple of characters. It's interesting—they're like a family at this point. Three novels I have written with them, or almost. And I know I have years to enjoy them on rewrites, research, editing, and fleshing out. But the heart of the novel—the dust into which we breathed life, which then took on the living body that it is—that part will be done in less than 24 hours. And that kinda makes me sad.
An era will be ended. The era of banging out my first books, my precious baby trilogy, during three wild National Novel Writing Months. Sure, I've word-padded; sure, I'll have to come back and fill in the holes and perfect. But three times now, I have pulled the lever, and had lightning strike. Three times now, the monster has sat up, and I have screamed, "It's alive!"
I can spend the rest of my life perfecting these books, or rush them out the door, misshapen but publishable. Most likely what I will do is somewhere in between the two. But the fact is, it is time to edit and perfect the creations, the monsters I have brought to life. The first spark—the moment they first sat up—will, this time tomorrow, be behind me.
The birth will be over. I will be grooming and growing them. Preparing for the creation of the next book, of which I am throrughly intimidated. But the first three will alaways be special, if for no other reason than because they are the three books I was born to write. All else is pleasure.
I have barely even begun to do them justice, I know. The cumulative six months or so I have spent planning and writing the bits that I have written, barely stack up to the years in which I will have to finish them. But I will be in a completely different phase then, with its own pleasures of novel gutting and renovation. But revamping something that already exists is totally different from bringing it into being out of nothing.
If I could think of anything else to say, I would write it. That is the trouble with trying to punch the whole NaNo thing out in the last weekend. Trying to squeeze fiction out of yourself like toothpaste from a tube has its downside. For one thing, if an idea is stupid or fucks you up, you have no time to go back and fix it, or even think of a good save. You have to just keep going, even if it means changing topics entirely within one sentence, grammar be damned.
It's not even the typing, or the fatigue in your back or eyes or fingers. It is the total dearth of ideas after a certain number of hours. When you are away from your writing, there is a golden window of hours or days that you can stay away from it. Take too long, and you lose the momentum, the thread…the spell gets broken. That is a well documented risk. But there is a converse risk. If you do not take any time away from your writing at all—if you attempt to do what I am doing, and not even take longer than ten minute breaks, for hours and hours, day after day, you run out of thoughts. Not words, not ideas, but thoughts themselves. Your brain just absolutely stops having any juice in it.
I can hear my imagination wheezing.

RENTON, Wash. -- With one designed rollout and sprint to the end zone, Terrelle Pryor showed why the Seattle Seahawks sacrificed a late-round draft pick to add another quarterback.
Pryor's 44-yard touchdown run last Friday against San Diego showed off all his athleticism. He didn't just run away from defensive linemen and linebackers, but left defensive backs playing chase.
It was a moment that commanded attention and reminded people how unique Pryor is as a quarterback.
But according to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, Pryor isn't just a running threat.
"I like the way he throws the ball," Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said after Monday's practice. "He's been great in practice.
"He hasn't had as much opportunity yet [in games] as we'd like to see. The games have just gone in a manner that he hasn't had to [throw the ball]. But he throws the ball really well.
"He's a terrific downfield thrower, he's got a big arm. He's made a lot of big plays for us against the ones, and done a lot of good stuff so we feel very confident he can throw the whole passing game."
But there is nothing guaranteed for Pryor in Seattle.

Warner Bros. has released the first look at scenes from director Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot film Man of Steel. We've seen a few images here and there from the film, but we've all been eagerly anticipating some real footage to get a look at the film's tone and style. Well, the wait is over, and my enthusiasm for the film just went up several notches. Take a look!
And here is an alternate version with a different voice-over:
That looks incredible. The shots of Clark as a young boy running around playing and wearing a cape are particularly cool, and I love the music as well. And that final shot of Superman soaring into the sky breaking the sound barrier? PRICELESS!

It depends on whether you consider wearing a paper napkin tucked in your shirt collar is the same thing as wearing a bib. When I was growing up, my step dad always made us tuck a paper napkin in our shirt collars during meals, so it became a forced habit that has become hard to break. To me, a bib is more like plastic that is tied around your neck like babies wear. A paper napkin is more of an absorbent paper shield for your shirt and is not the same as a real bib. Seems like when I eat a meal without my napkin tucked around my neck, I always manage to at least get a small stain on my clothes. My shirts and ties are expensive and I hate ruining them so unless I am really offending someone, I typically will tuck my paper in around my collar. I have three boys who are somewhat messy eaters, so tucking their napkins in is not only a must, but a requierment as long as I am paying for their clothing.
i wear a plastic bib every time i eat. i can be messy. I work as a barber and will wear a bib or a vinyl cape from the barber shop since it covers more.
i wear a bib every time i eat. i can be messy at times, so i usually wear a bib. i work as a barber and either wear a plastic bib or a vinyl cape from the barber shop. they both work great.
I got to 40 a bachelor, however I always wnate dto get married and when the oppurtunity came I popped the question and now I am very happliy married, however the morning after we were married my wife made it clear that she would be takng me in hand and there would be no further little boy behaviour. i.e getting food stains on my clothes. She was impressed from te out set of our dating that I dressed smartly, particularly when I wore a suit and tie it made her fell special but she had noticed that I was not veru careful when eating. She decide that now we were married that she would have to take me in hand, consquently at all meals untill she told nme otherwise she would put a bib on me until I learned to be more careful. We have been married severak years now and as I have been promoted I wear a suit and tie everyday and I hav elearned to be more careful although whe eating messy foods at home she still pits a napkin bib on me. When we are out I tuck a napkin in my shirt collar. I am to old to worry about what others may think. The important thing is that I dodo not have food satins on my clothes any more. I have told our baby son (to young to understand yet), but he will get the same treatment as I if he does not shape u and be more careful.
I always do. My Wife will say 'You need to wear a bib' and tuck the napkin into my shirt collar.After we got married, I got up for work, put my uniform on,went downstairs & my wife had put my breakfast on the table. I sat down and was just starting to eat it when she came in from the kitchen and tucked a napkin into my collar.Since then I have always worn a napkin as a bib at mealtimes.I often wear a bow-tie so I wear one when I eat.My Wife wears bow blouses so I tuck napkins into her collar as well
I have taken to putting a bib on my husband even if he has a snack. I also make sure that we wear bibs to clean our teeth for obvious reasons. My Husband looks so lovely when I tuck a napkin into his collar and fan it out. I love my Husband wearing a bib and he is the same when he tucks a napkin (After Praying before our meals) into my blouse collar. We look so smart.x
When I was fifteen I was out with my father and we saw a young couple with a small boy of about seven. He was smartly dressed in a blazer shirt and tie (the way they were dressed suggested they had been to a wedding) The small boy was getting a telling of from his mother for getting ice cream down his tie, my father said it was the parents thought because they should have made sure the boy had a cloth of some sort tucked in his shirt collar because you cannot expect a boy of seven not to make a mess when eating from an ice cream cornet. I turned my attention back to the ice cream sunday my father had bought me as a treat and was about to start eating when I heard him say!, son hav'nt you forgotton something! I looked at my father and said "beg your pardon dad" and he said best tuck the napkin in your shirt collar you will not want to get any of the ice cream sunday down your best clothes (I had on a new shirt and tie and my best suit) (I blushed a bit beacuse I should have known better as a napkin in my collar was normal for me) I did as I was told because I knew that it was the sensible thing to do as I was still a bit careless when eating. I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day and even now when I am eating messy foods and I have my best clothes on I tuck a napkin in my shirt collar as do my sons. While I am aware that some people particularly ladies consider it to be poor dining etiquette it is a lot more embarassing and offensice to be sitting there with a blob of something on your clothes that you are unable to get off, at the end of the meal the napkin gets removed and you can leave the table looking as smart and presenatble as when you came to it.
fancyme - i totally agree, would love to have my waiter out on my bib for me!, i think bibs should be more acceptable and one should be supplied in restaurants/cafes if u choose to wear one- it should be put on you too as a complete service! maybe the waiter could then feed me too, but then i am lazy! what do u guys think?
I agree with the above statement. I have recently bought some hairdressing capes to use as bibs instead of napkins. It's lovely to fasten the massive bib around your neck and let it drape nicely over your clothes. Restaurants with huge napkins are good as well because they tie nicely as a bib. I am wearing one now which is covering my Blouse with has a bow tie at the neck. My Husband is also wearing one to cover his dress shirt and bow tie.
I frequently tuck a napkin in my shirt collar when eating both at home and when dining out. Showing respect for your clothes is something my father taught me at an early age and I have always tried to do that. When you have on a smart suit, good quality shirt and a silk tie the last thing you want to do is get something down them (even the best detergents or dry cleaners will not remove some stains)In my experience people rarely take any notice, if they do they will put it down to you being a bit eccentric, off course it helps that I am past fifty but I have always done it when there has been a need (white shirts and silk ties are a magnet for pasta sauce and soup)My wife has got used to it and understands that it is less embarrassing for me than making a mess and besides we are talking spots here not large drops of food, I am just a bit careless that's all.
I don't think there is any problem wearing bibs. My Husband and I also wear them whenever we have meals. We both wear posh clothes. I wear blouses with a bow and I make sure my Husband wears a bow-tie to go out even just to go shopping so wearing a bib is second nature to us.We like to look immaculate. We pray to the Lord Jesus before a meal and before I put the bib on husband I then put mine on.Our Kids have also adopted the same thing. We like using linen napkins as they are bigger and hang nicely from your collar. I think more people should be encouraged to wear a bib at mealtimes wherever they are.
Some of the answers seem a bit weird to me although the idea of wearing a bib is nonetheless a great idea. My sister bought a huge box of disposable plastic lobster bibs from Costco for me since she knows I'm a clumsy eater and I've been a happy camper every time I eat since I know my clothes will remain stain free and pristine. I am officially "pro-bib" and it would be nice if every restaurant provided them. Until then, I have to always BYOB (bring your own bib).
Like bibby, I enjoy wearing a bib while eating and find that it relaxes me. A plastic bib is the best since any mess can be wiped off. I usually wear a Whinnie the Poo toddlers bib with the strings for the arms cut off. The bib then covers my entire front. I too, often wear the bib in a restaurant. The waitress usually laughs at me. I eat breakfast often in a particular restaurant and the waitress ties the bib on me as soon as I sit down. I'm a little crazy but have dun wearing my bib.
i wear a bib all the time, i am 44 and i sit and wear bibs all the time. I have done since i was little. most of the time i put my bib on for my tea and leave it on all night! in fact i am wearing one now and i haven't eaten yet. i don't always use a bib, i sometimes use a towel, depends what i am eating. my husband is fine with and sometimes puts the bib on for me. I have worn bibs in restaurants and even at work. it's nothing to be ashamed off! i just love wearing bibs!
I have three messy boys ages 10, 12, and 14. All three are required to wear their napkin tucked in their collars during meals because all three manage to get food stains on their shirts. It is really no big deal. Paper napkins are there for a reason, to prevent ruining your clothes. Spaghetti sauce looks better on the paper napkin than it does your shirt or tie. When I was in high school, our ROTC instructor insisted we wear our napkins tucked in around our necks or we would get in so much trouble not to mention demerits. He did not allow us to get anything on our uniforms.
Bibs look stupid. That being said, it seems that no matter HOW careful I am -- if I am eating anything (pasta, for instance) with red sauce in it, it never fails -- I have been known to move the fork too fast or innocently knock my elbow on the table or something, and the teensiest splatters will go all over my blouse, or an unfortunate big blob of whatever. And even if the stain may be the size of pindots -- *I* can see them. And it takes forever to get all those teeny spots when I go to wash it by hand. Or, something greasy will fall on my blouse, and it takes forever and a day to get it out of my blouse that evening. Therefore, I have decided that looking stupid for one hour during lunch, beats looking stupid for the rest of the day and possibly into evening if I don't get a chance to change.
Lord no.
I think if you lean over and eat slowly and purposefully, you don't need one. If people want to wear them, though, I don't think anything of it.
I do it at home but not in public. Sometimes I even change my shirt. I've ruined a lot of shirts with food.

Candids of Mischa leaving Stubbs BBQ at SXSW in Austin have been uploaded. She looks visibly upset in these photos so I wasn't sure if I was even going to post them. I try to ignore paparazzi pics when I feel they cross the line. But since this is at a public event I decided to add them.
I'm curious to know how you guys feel about me posting these photos? Do you think I should avoid uploading them? Share your opinion in the comments box.

Authebntic Mughlai cuisines
When in Mumbai and you want to taste authentic Mughlai cuisine, look no further than Shalimar. They serve finest tasting Mughlai dishes.Try their butter chicken, their tandoori dishes they are a delight to eat.The place is very clean and hygienic and is very well maintained. Try going there on a weekday as one might find it hard to get a table on weekends.

Great food
There are only a few places we know we can ALWAYS count on for good food at an affordable price. Shalimar offers a strong variety and won't destroy your wallet. We always ask each other why we don't come here more often at the end of the meal. Absolutely love this place, especially for tourists who want to try quality food on a budget.

One of the worst service
I happened to try this 1 when on my way back from a south Mumbai 1 afternoon. The service was I have to say this, " was horrible". After placing our order and waiting for 30 minutes the food arrived. Although the food was okay in taste, but the content wasn't as per expectations and the service staff was way below standard of the restaurant.
Another couple too had their patience tested and the man had to complain for the delayed service.
I wrote this review here since I read that this restaurant was voted as the best North Indian restaurant in Mumbai. If true this ranking has to be revised.

Shalimar gets Zero Star - bad food + worst service
I pass by Shalimar quite often as I live right off linking road, and this place being right on Linking road is hard to miss. I also had their Rabdi Falooda once in the past, and liked it so thought the food would also be good. So I decided to go with my wife to have lunch this Sunday.
The restaurant was packed, and we had to wait for 10 mins to get a seat. Well, the Menu is moderately priced (read: not cheap, but not very expensive either), and lot of variety. I asked the person who came to take order about which Chicken dish will be good and he suggested Murg Tikka Masala, and so I went with it. I also ordered Dal Makhani, and roomali roti to go with it. When the food came, the Murg Tikka Masala was literally swimming in Oil, and hardly had 4 small pieces of meat.. and the roomali roti was soo rubbery, and very difficult to chew. Anyways, I somehow managed to finish my roomali roti, but my wife wasn't able to so we decided to order Murg Biryani (half). I called the waiter, but he took forever to come (even when a lot of people had left and hotel was not that crowded by then). When he eventually came, I asked him to bring Half Murg Biryani (from the Menu). He went in, and came back and told me that Half biryani is not available, and only full is available. I told him that Menu clearly states two options - half and full, and what does he mean by half not available but full available.. as he can just give me half out of the full portion.. but he said that the Chef is not willing to make half, he will put in effort if it is full biryani order.. So I told him that is it that the chef wasn't willing to make gravy that he also put soo much oil instead of gravy in the Murg Tikka Masala, and he shamelessly laughed.
I was frustrated, and just asked him to get the check. I am usually very generous in giving Tip, but this time I didn't tip him at all and just left the place with my wife who hardly ate 20% of roomali roti and just 1 piece of chicken.
All in all, I will not go to this place ever again. Worst experience. I want to give it a zero star, but burrp has no such option so I am forced to give 1 star.

Great food, good ambience, bad seats..!!
From the outside, you would never guess the ambience inside would be so cozy...I went in just coz i was in the area and i cudnt see a btter place for having some chicken dishes..so i got a pleasant surprise when i went in coz the lighting and ambience was just perfect...they even had a tv showing ManU's game against birmingham..but the seat was horrible...!!! i thought my seat was broken but when i checked all the other seats were like that...whatever...wen we opened the menu..we got a lot of options...we ordered a chicken lababdar , a paneer tikka masala and rumali rotis..n trust me the food was great...the gravy was just perfect....the service was ok too..nothin special but nothin bad as well...can visit again if i go there..
June 20,2010
Go for Murg Tikka Masala..
One of the Best Chicken tikka masala in town! I end up eating more than 2 times a week at this place..just opposite the Shoppersstop at Bandra. Decent & Quite place with some good food. Chicken Lababdar is also goos but the best is their tikka masala with garlic naan. Go there after 7:30 in the evening, else you will have to waot for the naan to come.. not too expensive..yet good & can make you come again.

decent place to eat
Ambience of Shalimar is good. Its simple n quiet inside. Food was good. Had ordered Triple schewan rice, got good quantity n taste. But the waiter was hesitant to serve us. I guess he was puzzled after keeping the dish on table. Lol. Let's see if I come here again n eat something else. 4/5 for Shalimar.

Shalimar ... Read it 'Shall I Mar' your mood?
If there is one place that one shouldn't visit, it is shalimar. I guess some irked guy who had to bear with the restaurant 's aweful service n equally pathetic food.. must 've written the good ol' eatery plaque... Lousy Food, Hot beer and Bad Service. Indeed Shalimar goes one step further to displease you all the more.
The customer service is miserably bad and irks you at times. Food that meet the quality that it was once recommended for. The waiters literally ignore your food orders, get you wrong food items and in a hurry to see you off ASAP.
There is no value for money. For 120 bucks, a bowl of mix fruit custard is a watery white thing and with only bananas surprisefully added. The waiters dont listen to you and dont understand you. Adamant and obstinately in charge, they will insist on food items you dont wanna select.
For 350 bucks the sheesha is perhaps the costliest in Bandra but there are hrdly any flavs and the CS guys behave as if they dont know you... Full marks for topping my list of terrible restaurant experiences!

Good enuf to hang out with friends
This is a small place near Shoppers Stop, Bandra (W).
Nice place, very good ambiance.
The hookahs are amazing, very smooth and regular change of coal in a couple of mins without asking.
Coming to the food part of it, goes pretty easy on the wallet. Not bad at all for the quality and the quantity. Does take a little time but its worth it.
Low quality service and food
Shalimar used to be a one time favourite to me for around 2/3 years, Chicken Junglee / Chicken Sandwich with coffee used to be my regular evening snack there, although I faced issues like rarely at times u by mistakenly overcharged for the food you havent ordered, till the time you dont know, no one spots it. and there is always a sorry awaiting :). Incidents like stale wafers with vegetable sandwich was just a common thing, the good thing was always I found ample of place to sit for long hours without being disturbed, The staff was also there was a major problem as the staff kept on changing, comparatively to a very faster rate than the job hoppings in IT industry :). Overall I guess the place has lost its charm which used to have. Come on Shalimar, its a buyers market. You gotto serve good to survive :)

Request all burrpers - Dont ever visit this place.
I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for quite some time, say 5 years. I even recommended many of my friends. I like their Dal Makhni (Black Dal), one of my favourites. But I believe this place has changed now after a period of time. This is because of change in the service attitude of the waiters & staff.
Last week I had gone here to dine with my friends. As usual I ordered Dal Makhni. The order came after a waiting period of 20 minutes. I asked the waiter for a bowl for serving the Dal, "we dont provide bowls" was the reply. When I asked how can you refuse your customers, he stated "its not in our system to provide bowls". I was shocked to hear this from the place where I was a loyal customer. I just coudn't believe it. I refused to have their food & told him to take back the order, now look at this - the waiter just took back the food we had ordered without being unapologetic stating "OK, I will take it".
I called up the manager, but he didn't give much attention. I felt they are doing some favour in serving their customers.
I fired the senior manager for such a lack in service attitude, but there are no words from his mouth. He is just silent & listening to me. Finally I just left, as no staff was bothered to address me.
I swear I would never come to this place. This was the first time I had such a bad experience in a restaurant.
I want to know how can burrp.com gave an accredition to this place as one of the 'Best' restaurant in Mumbai??? plzzz.....this place doesn't deserve to be best. I would say withdraw your recognition from their place.
I request all burrpers to boycott Shalimar, there are many other restaurants in the same area which are better in food & service, but never come to this place.
Desserts- must try!
This place serves really good mughlai food. Mutton biriyani here is absolutely yummy! The roomali roti & tandoori chicken also taste really good. & oh, they serve amazing desserts. People with a sweet tooth...this is the place for you! Try 'Shahi Thukda' which fried bread slices dipped in condensed milk & served with dry fruits, honey & saffron..It tastes divine!!

Good food
This place greets its guests with a glass of cold water... any restaurant that serves cold water is good....
try the usual fare of mughlai food.... its awesome...
the tiranga kababs
the nice rotis and the boneless chicken biryani...
Now the thing about biryanis is that they are usually quite tasty but what spoils the whole experience is that they have too much kachra in it (read, spices and tiny lil bones).... no such problems with the shalimar biryani.....
lovely biryani rice, tasty but not too pungent biryani masala and juicy pieces of chicken. Its a little oily so i m sure those weight watching types will not like it but hey for the foodies.... its the ultimate.
The service is good considering the fact that we were 10 bikers from the Inddiethumpers motorcycle club all hungry from a ride.

Hi - in my last pg I developed PIH at about 36 weeks and was ultimately given a diagnosis of PE because of platelet/liver changes even though I only got protein in urine once.
I am currently 32 weeks pg with my second child and my blood pressure has started to fluctuate - my baseline is 110/70 (second tri = 110/60) but over last two weeks I have had readings of 120/76, 145/80, 138/66, 125/70. I have some swelling and have put on 3lbs in the last week - but again no protein. I know these BP levels are still relatively low but is it normal for BP to fluctuate like this or does this indicate the beginning of hypertensive problems? My midwife seems unconcerned but I am freaking out here because we almost lost my son - largely because the doctors were waiting for protein to appear before action was taken - and almost left it too late.
Any advice appreciated.

Guess what? Thunderstorms predicted this afternoon — watch out for flooding and uprooted trees
By Pat Andrews
posted May 3, 2013 - 1:18:07pm
For anyone who hasn't noticed, it's still raining in West Volusia. Chances of thunderstorms will increase after 2 p.m.
And this week's rain will continue, bringing gusty northeast winds of up to 40 mph this afternoon, and 3 to 4 inches of rain along the coast from Cape Canaveral northward through Volusia County.
"Those living in flood-prone locations should be prepared to take action should flooding develop," the National Weather Service advised today.
Wet soil could lead to uprooted trees, as well.
The weather service forecasts a 70-percent chance of thundershowers this afternoon, followed by a 60-percent chance tonight, and 50-percent tomorrow, Saturday, May 4.
Mostly sunny weather is predicted for Sunday.
