Very Good
Reviewed by A N L. Review Posted 25/07/2008
Just bought 4 of these (1 DOA and needs replacing) to replace the netgear caddies that had fallen off my network a refuse to re-attach. If you are going to stack these as is suggested I would suggest getting some thicker stick on rubber feet to space them further apart as they do run hot, and this will allow more air around them. Otherwise no complaints!

Excellent piece of kit!
Reviewed by Jim. Review Posted 24/07/2010
Firstly, the kit was deleivered in not much over 24 hours, even on standard delivery! The kit is well built, very professional looking with clear instructions. I had the hard drive installed, up and running within ten minutes. Highly recommended. If you want flexibility, use the Akasa mounting kit AK-MX010 to use the caddy for a 2.5 inch drive.

Excellent piece of kit
Reviewed by Mal. Review Posted 10/07/2008
If you have a largish capacity 3.5" SATA drive lying around, perhaps from an unused desktop, then you should seriously consider buying this piece of kit. It turns a redundant SATA internal drive into a bostin' external drive for your laptop. Very well made, easy to set up and with USB2 gives a respectable data transfer rate - I'm getting approx 13MB/sec using XP which is enough to capture DV video straight to disc. Also uses an ESATA interface if you have one available. Only drawback is that this is not a particularly portable item, it's quite chunky and uses an external power supply. Oh, and the tiny rubber feet are prone to coming off.

Sweet eSata & USB Enclosure
Reviewed by JS. Review Posted 06/12/2007
I'm a bit of an 'enclosure junkie' - as these are essential items in my line of work. This is the best I've used yet... rock solid build quality (solid aluminium), silent and cool running. Choices of connectivity... SATA Drive > eSata or USB 2 IDE PATA Drive > USB 2 Speed when connected to an eSata connection is superb and works well under XP/Vista - will test with Ubuntu later and report back. Only small issue is the skinny cable that lights up the front of the case - I found it best to disconnect until you've installed the drive and almost closed the case, before reconnecting... thus avoiding any snagging/nipping of the cable. Looks smart, feels solid and weighty, performs really well - seems like a good buy (just as well - I took a chance and ordered two!).

OK but screws fail to hold front panel
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 17/02/2013
This product is OK but the 2 screws that hold the front panel to the case can fail to secure the panel. I noticed that my screwdriver can continually rotate the screws so the threads are slipping in the threaded hole, probably stripped threads. I also think the screws are too short.
I also observed that the jumper settings on my PATA drive were ignored. There was a jumper to override the 32GB legacy limit of an old 80GB HD but with the HD in the enclosure I could only access 32GB. This was annoying but it was an old legacy drive.

Reviewed by Iain. Review Posted 16/06/2009
Purchased this in October '08, and it appeared to be a decent piece of kit for the money. Reasonably well finished, with a switchable option for either USB2.0 or eSATA, and included all the necessary fixings, cables and connectors. All well until the power unit (model number CS-120/0502000-E) died. There are threads on the net concerning this power unit. I am awaiting information concerning a replacement.

So So
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 02/01/2014
Given the great review this product has had I thought I'd give it a try.
I was disappointed when I opened the box, it looks to be made of cheap plastic. On closer inspection the actual enclosure is aluminium but is painted in a high gloss finish that makes it look like cheap plastic. Add the cheap chrome plated plastic ends, front and back panel and the whole enclosure looks tacky.
The data transfer LED is actually the entire blue Integral Logo slowly, very slowly, dims and then comes back to its normal brightness. Why?
The lack of USB 3.0 and Sata 6 at this price range is difficult to excuse but the worst part is getting Windows 7 to even show it under My Computer. I only overcame this by downloading a driver from my HDD makers website.
The enclosure is poor but the package makes up for that to some extent. It has an internal power and data interface that connects to older IDE drives and every cable you need is included.
In summary, its cheap tat to enclose high tech.

Beware of possible data corruption
Reviewed by Jan Buelens. Review Posted 19/08/2008
The first time I noticed something was amiss was when the "verify" feature of Acronis TrueImage pronounced my backup corrupted. It seemed hard to believe at first, but after trying several known good hard drives, several USB cables, several computers with different operating systems, the conclusion was inescapable:
it's the AKASA box. Copy a big enough file to it (5 or 10 GB) and 4 times out of 5, your favourite compare program will report mismatches between the source file and the copy on the AKASA box.
I believe my problem isn't an isolated case since a few other people describe identical symptoms in various forums.
I used the product with IDE drives and with the USB connection. It may well be that the unit behaves impeccably in a different context.

Good and Bad
Reviewed by JD Gill. Review Posted 07/11/2008
Works fine except for the loose fitting power connector. Any movement on the cable disrupts the power to the drive causing read/write to fail. Once held securely in place with Blu-Tac works pretty well and it looks quite professional (except for the Blu-Tac of course).

Reviewed by Roger. Review Posted 25/03/2014
My advice is: don't buy an Akasa enclosure. They look good, even feel quality, but everything is so squashed up inside that after a while it fails. Mine started out by working intermittently, then failed, so I took the drive out and put it back again, and all works great with the cover not screwed back into place, but when you put it together again, it doesn't work. Obviously a bad connection somewhere, and not the HDDs as it is the same problem with three of my drives.
Don't buy Akasa!

This show was part of the "1992 Spring Tour."
So this cute girl with green eyes and freckles from school asks me, "hey want to go in to the city to see this cool band I've been listening to?" I went mostly b/c I liked the girl... and I knew how to get to the Roseland Ballroom so if the band sucked, I would just go to Times Square or Chinatown and cause some trouble.
I stayed for the whole show. It never panned out with that cute girl, but I got a new favorite band out of the deal, so it wasn't a total loss.
Roseland was first place I ever went where the Heineken bottles were $8. And this was 1992! I remember that we went to the Cafe Wha before the show and were dumbfounded that the pitchers of Budweiser were $17! Was a very expensive drink night for low quality swill.
John Popper hit a stride during GTBT. Too bad that was end of the show. Where was my Don't Get Me Wrong this night?
Re-listening to the show now brings a lot back - these early shows were so different and felt so raw, you can hear how young the band is at the time, even though it's 8 years into their career.

Please pray for my boyfriend, Lee. He has been on the path to God for months and is growing very well, but the devil has recently started pulling him off that path and its affecting our relationship, which was once so very true. I ask that you please pray for his healing and that the devil is cast out away from Lee.


text: I was watching Final Score on BBC HD on Saturday afternoon. Garth Crooks and Didi Hamman were commenting on all the games as they happened. Garth could not believe that there was no penalty given for the high kick on Demba Ba. He could not believe that nothing was done about the hands around Ashley Cole's throat. Didi agreed with him. I must admit that I thought Garth was biased against Chelsea. But the offences were so bad that even he was amazed that no action was taken by Howard Webb the official in charge.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, April 19, 2013
(MGN Online)
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- In the wake of the tragedy in Boston, parents across the country are struggling with what to say to their kids.
"I try not to tell her too much because I don't want her worrying and I don't want her being fearful or going to school and being scared," said Kimberly Mays.
Mays and her 12-year-old daughter, Kaylee, are prepping for a sleepover with Kaylee's best friend.
A night of fun Mays is grateful for after such a difficult week.
"It just seems like more and more every day I'm having to tell her more and more stories or shelter her from more and more stories on the news," Mays said.
Three people were killed and more than 170 were injured at the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday, and the entire country has been watching the investigation unfold.
"It's been tough because it seems like the world's getting worse instead of getting better," Mays said.
"I don't wanna go to school because I don't want them to go to school and bomb us," her daughter said.
Now, with the nation rocked by Boston's tragedy, Mays just wants to know how best help her child through it all.
"When something like this happens, even though we're not in the Boston metro area, it's normal for everyone to feel a little bit shaken, a little bit scared," explained Child Psychologist Dr. Dale Peeples with Georgia Regents University. "Could something like this happen to me? And children experience that just like adults."
Peeples says reassurance is key.
"Reminding children that we are safe. Saying, 'It's OK to be afraid.' That's important," Peeples said.
And with the investigation on every almost every channel, Peeples says it's okay to shield children from the television.
"Try to keep the routine as normalized as possible," Peeples said. "Life keeps going on ... we're all going about our business."
Exactly what Mays intends to do for her daughter.
"We keep God first," Mays said. "No matter what's going on in the world, we keep God first."

5 Reasons You Didn't Get Hired
Ignore her or hit her with some humor. To be funny, you can say something like, "You say the sweetest things." If you want to stay neutral, simply say, "Thanks for the feedback" and walk away.
Don't try to explain why you look the way you do (because, bitch please). The best way to deal with this is to just tune her out. Realize that you're dealing with someone who thinks their feedback is helping you. If you want to take it a step further, you can always respond with an insincere smile and an equally fake "Thanks!"

OAKLAND -- The A's head into spring training next weekend with a deep, strong starting rotation but without a proven No. 1 guy.
Jarrod Parker is the leading candidate to emerge as the opening-day starter March 31, when the A's begin the 2014 season with a game against the Cleveland Indians.
But newly-acquired left-hander Scott Kazmir or returnees including A.J. Griffin and Dan Straily could get the call. Those four, plus Tommy Milone, Sonny Gray and Drew Pomeranz, will give manager Bob Melvin and pitching coach Curt Young a solid crop from which to choose a first five.
And that could all be for the best.
"I think that sometimes that's a good situation for a pitching staff,'' A's legend Vida Blue said Saturday at the club's annual FanFest. "When you don't have one proven No. 1 guy, you've got five guys pushing to prove that they should be the No. 1. And that makes everyone better.''
Melvin, who got the sold-out FanFest crowd fired up by saying, "We won the (A.L. West) division last year, we won it the year before, and we have higher expectations this year,'' is on the same page as Blue.
He said he's more than happy with his projected rotation and isn't concerned about naming a starter for the opener.
"Here we can send out a guy every day we know who has a good chance to win,'' Melvin said. "We can run any of six guys out there on opening day and feel good about it. That's the most important thing. Having depth allows you to get through the season.
"I was in Arizona as a coach, and we had Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling 1-2, but there was a falloff after that. Here, if someone gets hurt, we have the depth to pick up for him.''
Parker won 13 games in 2012 and another dozen in 2013, but he was at his best in the heat of the pennant race last year. From May 28-Sept. 10, he went 9-0 with a 2.61 ERA in 19 starts. But while that gives him a leg up for the No. 1 job, he says he's lost exactly zero sleep over it.
"Opening day isn't something I'm concerned with at all,'' Parker said Saturday. "I want to be pitching in September and October. And we've got talent here.
"It's not just that we have a lot of talent in the rotation. But in addition to physical talent, there's mental talent, too. This is a strong staff mentally. It's a bulldog staff.''
Elbow soreness plagued Parker the second half of the season, after which doctors advised rest. That seems to have done the trick as Parker said he's ready to go without reservation when the club reports to Phoenix next weekend.
"I've thrown six bullpen sessions throwing about 40 pitches, and everything feels fine,'' Parker said. "I'm feeling a lot better than I did at the end of the season. My weight's up where I want it to be (200 pounds), so I'm good to go.''

Plans are moving forward for the remodeling of the Genealogy Reearch Center at the Quitman Public Library next Monday (Oct. 11).
We are meeting at 8 a.m. to move books, etc. from shelves so that when the workers come in at 1 p.m., they can do the heavy lifting. Then, we are going to try to get all the books etc. back on shelves before we leave that afternoon so they will be ready when the library opens Tuesday.
A few members have emailed that they are coming, but we still need more hands. If you can come, show up Monday morning. If you can't get there at 8 a.m., come when you can.

Two technicians wiring the right side of ENIAC (Courtesy of U.S. Army Research Laboratory)
The term "bug" was popularized by Grace Hopper, a legendary computer pioneer, who was the first to come up with the idea of a compiler and who created COBOL. One of Hopper's favorite stories was the story of a moth that was found trapped between the points of a relay, which caused a malfunction of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (Harvard University, 1945). Technicians removed the moth and affixed it to the log shown on the photograph.
Many people mistakenly believe that the mouse was invented by Apple. Others believe that idea came from Xerox, where the mouse was used on an early office PC called the Star. But in truth, the mouse was first conceived of by Doug Engelbart in the early 1960's, then a scientist at the Stanford Research Institute, in Menlo Park, California.

A CAT Smiles in China
A corporate strategy article by Thunderbird students Shen-Chun Lin, Aimee DeGrauwe, Eli Darby, Monica Willbrand, Raymond Caruso and James Moore
CSR: The Reputation Necessity
For most companies, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a face-saving, repair mission in reaction to some recently identified social injustice or industrial accident. Examples of reputation saving CSR have been seen with Nike's early reaction to substandard working conditions or Union Carbide's Bhopal tragic explosion in 1984. At best, most companies treat CSR as a cost center line item akin to corporate publicity or charity, where a separate division within the organization implements a "community outreach" program. Although these programs do have merit, they are mainly counter balances to the damages a corporation's normal operations have on the community and environment. This inefficiency lies in the fact that many firms' CSR attempts pit society and business against each other, when in reality they should be dependent. In addition, CSR tends to push firms into thinking generally, rather than about shared value. In the developed world, national and regional laws help regulate and limit the damage a company's presence can have at large. From environmental regulations, to worker safety standards, many US and EU companies meet or exceed the bare minimums laid out by governments.

From the elimination of cleaning and cleaning validation to a reduction in capital costs, labor, and space requirements, the myriad benefits of using disposable systems are well-established. However, presterilization is one area that deserves more attention. Presterilization goes to the heart of the disposables concept, which is to minimize opportunities for contamination, whether through operator error, the process, or the product.
As the size and complexity of disposable systems continue to increase, presterilization will become increasingly advantageous and, in some cases, necessary. For example, conventional sterilization techniques such as autoclaving do not always fit a manufacturer's timeline, especially in the case of campaign-based vaccine production. Steam used during autoclaving is also known to damage paper, some plastics, and other heat-labile products and does not always ensure complete sterilization.
In addition to providing validation strategies for presterilization using gamma irradiation, this article addresses the overall benefits of disposables and explains how to minimize revalidation during scale-up.Validation: An Important Early Process Consideration
The different production operations shall be carried out in accordance with GMP; manufacturing facilities must be laid out to allow effective cleaning and reduce cross-contamination risk; equipment used for manufacturing operation, which are critical to the quality of the product, shall be subjected to appropriate qualification and validation.
Presterilized Filtration Systems
Filtration systems exemplify disposable technologies that can be presterilized. Disposable filtration systems are offered in a range of sizes, so that corresponding filters and bags are available for every stage of development, ensuring that the most appropriate and economical disposable filter scheme is used. By using the same materials of construction, these systems also generate reproducible results during scale up. Also, like presterilized filter cartridges, the entire single-use filtration system can be gamma irradiated before delivery to the biopharmaceutical manufacturing site. These systems, which generally comprise disposable bags, capsule filters, tubing, clamps, adaptors, and connection devices, also simplify many biopharmaceutical processes, such as preuse filter integrity testing.
Simplifying Scale-Up
To make certain that the process is scaled up with minimal material revalidation, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies should use components that are made from the same materials from small scale-up to manufacturing scale.
A variety of capsule filter configurations are available to support processes as they are scaled up. Ideally, these differently-sized capsules contain identical filter media and hardware materials. This helps ensure that scale-up and scale-down studies yield relevant information and minimum requalification for various batch sizes.
The availability of a variety of capsules for small-scale operations is especially beneficial for new product development. Since all new biopharmaceutical products may not become commercialized, capital investment can be a concern. Single-use capsules and systems make it possible to produce new products during the early development stages without a large capital investment. Together, these factors can streamline drug development to increase manufacturing capacity, while meeting validation requirements.

- Jim Harbaugh has high praise for Andrew Luck
- 49ers' Colin Kaepernick stars in new TV commercial with Joe Flacco
- Colts' Andrew Luck prepares for Sunday's 49ers game, reunion with ex-Stanford coaches
- 49ers tight end Vernon Davis expects to play Sunday against Colts
SANTA CLARA — First Aaron Rodgers. Then Russell Wilson. Now the 49ers' defense must deal with yet another top quarterback, Indianapolis Colts' second-year signal-caller Andrew Luck, who presents a new set of challenges.
Not a problem, said linebacker NaVorro Bowman. He actually sees an advantage to the 49ers facing some of the league's top quarterbacks right out of the chute.
"If you face the best early in the season, that leaves room for you to improve later on in the season," Bowman said. "I'm excited to face a great quarterback and one of coach (Jim) Harbaugh's protégés."
Bowman said that as he watched film of the Colts, nothing much stood out to him besides the quarterback.
"It's really just No. 12, man," he said. "I feel like they feed off of him and he runs pretty much every phase. We know that he likes to get our looks early before the ball is snapped. So we're going to have to do a good job holding our coverages and holding our disguises. That's pretty much the challenge for us, making sure Andrew doesn't know what we're in."
Bowman is impressed that Luck has already developed a veteran presence despite having played just one season in the NFL.
"He's smart," Bowman said. "You don't really get too many guys that are able to do what he is able to do at the line as a young guy. So they benefit from that. They 49ers veterans, we understand that. So we have to do a good job with the snap."
Bowman added that Luck is an altogether different challenge than Seattle's Russell Wilson, who he felt the defense stifled reasonably well despite the 29-3 defeat to the Seahawks.
"Yeah, I think we did a good job," he said. "It's just one of those games, where both phases of the team aren't working at the same time. I thought we were playing well early in the game and in the second half our offense came along. But that's what you have to do. You have to start off fast and play together and be on the same page. We'll try to get that done this week."
Bowman said it was difficult to lose nose tackle Ian Williams for the season, but believes the 49ers have enough to fill the void in Glenn Dorsey and Tony Jerod-Eddie.
"Glenn played well -- he's a savvy veteran," Bowman said. "For him to come in when we needed him, he did a great job."
Bowman added he was looking forward to seeing longtime 49ers defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois, who now plays for the Colts.
"He was a great teammate of mine," he said. "He was here since I got there, so I'm looking forward to seeing him."

Final no. 104
Roger cruised past Janko Tipsarevic 6-2, 6-3 today to book a spot in the final of the Madrid Open. He will play Tomas Berdych in a battle for a third (after 2006 and 2009) Madrid title there tomorrow.
Just like in the two prior rounds, Roger was never really in danger. He shook off the gusting winds to hit 25 winners and eight aces. He took a 3-1 lead in the first set after a first break, chasing his opponent around the court and later scoring another break to wrap up the opening set. Roger sailed on in just the same style in the second set and made everything clear after little over an hour.
Roger will play his 104th final tomorrow, aiming for his 74th career title - and 20th Masters 1000 title, Rafael Nadal's record mark so far. Our champ leads the head-to-head against Tomas Berdych 10:4, but Berdych has proved he is very strong at the moment, not having dropped a set on clay this year so far.
after strange game :)
Roger, close is out please !!:)
3 champ points has gone away :(

Kristen Stewart says vampire sex with Robert Pattinson was "awful."
That's right -- we're about to, once again, work a 'Twilight" actor's name into a headline with the word "sex" in it. This is what's known as 21st-century impact journalism, folks.
Stewart made the remarks while promoting the upcoming "Breaking Dawn Part 2" film. The 22-year-old actress told E! News she can't imagine anyone else but Robert Pattinson playing Edward Cullen to her Bella Swan.
"It's so obvious; it slaps you in the face anytime you meet somebody who you're like, 'We definitely need to work together!'" she said. "We clearly are into this, maybe not for the same reasons, because he's a nut, but I knew instantly. With Taylor (Lautner) too. I take full and complete credit for those boys."
We're assuming when she says "boys," she doesn't mean Rupert Saunders.
It's a good thing Stewart likes Pattinson because, as everyone over 40 years old out there knows, the two had to film some very intense sex scenes in the two Breaking Dawn flicks.
"(Director) Bill (Condon) kept saying that he wanted to make this one feel like you're very much inside of the experience," Stewart said "Like you're there, you're sort of a part of it, which is odd. But to do that we had to look directly into the camera instead of at each other."
So, it wasn't romantic, she was saying. Maybe she meant, like, like making out with your director or something.
"It was awful!" she said. "I was like, 'Bill, you're depriving me of this experience. We've been waiting for vampire sex! What are you doing?!'"
Oh, we all know you two kids didn't have to wait long.

"They're Bankrupting Us!" And 20 Other Myths about Unions
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 5, for Labor Day.
Bill Fletcher, Jr.
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
6:30pm @ Central Library
Unions have been blamed for budget deficits and for pampering workers with high pay and cushy benefits. Labor leader Bill Fletcher, Jr. tackles those accusations in his book "They're Bankrupting Us!" He traces the roots of anti-union myths, examines the movement's missteps and lists significant labor contributions like the minimum wage and 40-hour work week.
Fletcher has been involved in the labor movement for decades, serving in organizations such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union. He is currently the director of field services for the American Federation of Government Employees.
Co-sponsored by the Institute for Labor Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

- May 16:
- Klay Thompson fails to provide a much-needed lift for the Warriors
- May 16:
- Kawakami: Warriors spill blood, sweat, tears in exhausting defeat
- Golden State Warriors' season ends with 94-82 loss to San Antonio Spurs in Game 6
- Poole: This Warriors ride was fun while it lasted
- Barnes falls in a heap, sustains eye injury
OAKLAND -- Warriors guard Jarrett Jack was on the verge of tears as he stood at his locker. He couldn't find the words to truly express what he was feeling, so he let his attire do the talking for him.
"Usually before I would do any media, I would make sure I was dressed a certain way," Jack said after the Warriors' season ended Thursday with a 94-82 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. "I brought one of my best suits. But looking down at this jersey, it's just a sense of pride I don't think I've ever felt as a professional. ... Nothing in my closet is better than what I have on now."
Perhaps it was the disappointing end to a magical run. Perhaps reality had hit him that he may have spent his last minutes in a Warriors uniform. And he didn't want to take it off.
When the final horn had sounded, the Warriors shook hands with the Spurs and headed to the locker room. But Jack remained. He circled the court, a towel over his head, clapping with the fans. Before long, his teammates and coaches returned. They all took a bow at midcourt before guard Stephen Curry took the microphone and thanks the thousands of fans in yellow shirts remaining.
His future with the Warriors is uncertain. Jack, who made $5 million this season, will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. He played a pivotal role in the Warriors' success as the backup point guard and the late-game ballhandler. So much so, Golden State reached out for extension talks back in January, but Jack declined before talks could get going so he could focus on the season.
Based on his performance with the Warriors, Jack is expected to get several opportunities and lots of money on the free-agent market. Also complicating matters is the rise of rookie Harrison Barnes. An increased role for the starting small forward could mean a reduced role for Jack.
Whether he takes the more lucrative offer else where, or whether the Warriors make a competitive offer to keep him in the Bay Area, that will all be figured out this summer. But Jack was never more clear about for whom he wants to play: Golden State.
"I hope so, man," Jack said. "Obviously there are other things that go into seeing if that works -- we all know this is a business at the end of the day. If I could do it, if I could rearrange it, I would definitely be back at this same locker."

SAN JOSE -- A federal judge Thursday suggested she may trim some of Apple's (AAPL) $1 billion judgment against Samsung in their patent feud, but also signaled that she is inclined to block continued sales of Samsung smartphones and tablets a jury found were copies of the iPhone and iPad.
During three hours of legal sparring, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh told Apple and Samsung she plans to issue written rulings in the coming weeks to finalize the first stage of their patent battle and to send the case along to a federal appeals court.
Samsung has urged Koh to set aside a jury's stunning August verdict that found the South Korean tech giant copied Apple's popular iPhone and iPad, or at least slash hundreds of millions of dollars from the damages award. Koh told lawyers on both sides she found some of Samsung's arguments to reduce the damages "persuasive," but it remains unclear how she will tinker with the jury's conclusion.
At the same time, Koh appeared receptive to Apple's argument that Samsung should not be allowed to continue selling the older line of smartphones -- such as the Galaxy S2 -- and tablets that were found to have violated its patent rights. Apple has asked for a permanent injunction on those devices.
With another Apple lawsuit pending against Samsung's more recent products, Koh once again urged both sides to settle their global legal fight.
"I think it's time for global peace," said Koh, who tried to get the two companies to settle before the verdict. "I think it would be good for consumers, it would be good for the industry, I think it would be good for the parties."
Lawyers for Apple and Samsung blamed each other for the failure to settle. Harold McElhinny, Apple's lead attorney, told Koh the $1 billion verdict is a "slap on the wrist" against Samsung if the case doesn't force the company to stop copying.
But Charles Verhoeven, a Samsung attorney, maintained it is up to Apple to stop the "thermonuclear war" it has launched against Samsung in courtrooms around the world.
"The ball is in their court," he said.
At this point, the jury's verdict appears headed for the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears all patent appeals. Samsung has vowed to appeal the judgment, and Koh remarked several times during the hearing that she was readying her final rulings for that court.
The judge appeared uninterested in Samsung's argument that the jury's verdict was tainted by the jury foreman, one of many issues raised since the trial. Samsung alleges that Velvin Hogan, the foreman, failed to disclose a previous legal tussle with Seagate Technology that the company maintains rendered him biased.
Meanwhile, if Koh issues a permanent injunction against some of Samsung's older products, Apple is expected to return to court to ask the judge to extend the sales ban to some more recent Samsung smartphones and tablets. Apple has already targeted the popular Galaxy S III, which is topping the sales charts for smartphones.

I have a couple of video files I'd like to play (containing obscure foreign kung-fu movies, heh). They are mkv files. One of them is in a folder that also contains a subtitle file, and it plays fine streaming to my PS3 with the Media Server. The subtitles show up fine (well, they look kind of crappy, but fine in general). The other one doesn't have any extra files attached, but when I play it on my PC, subtitles appear. However when I play it on my PS3, I see nothing. I looked at the subtitle options but nothing is jumping out at me, and after google searching, most people's problems seem to be with the additional subtitle files (though I could be wrong).
Any advice?

To district officials, a schoolhouse isn't just where learning takes place, but another asset to put on the market.
"We have to liquify our assets, So that we get additional revenue to cut our deficit," said Lansing School Board member Guillermo Lopez.
Lansing School District hopes to put up Woodcreek Elementary School for sale ---as soon as possible.
" We'd like to have sold it yesterday, but that's impossible," said Lopez.
The district plans to save money from reducing personnel, fewer utility and maintenance costs, and the sale of the property.
"We have sold school buildings for $120,000 to $220,000. It just depends on where it is at and what the market will bear at that location," said Lopez.
But other elementary schools closing won't have the same fate. Officials of smaller districts like Charlotte and Waverly say they are exploring other ways their elementary buildings can be used.
"Perhaps a church or youth organization would want to use it. We would consider leasing it to pay for maintenance and utility fees only," said Dr. Debra Jones, the superintendent of Waverly School District.
The superintendent says those maintenance costs are minimal and Waverly's district may need the space in the near future.
"Should the school system in an elementary range k-4 enlarge by 50 students, we may have to open it back up," said Dr. Jones.
Educators say their decisions are based on a balance of cost-savings and serving the students.

Sunday's letters: Political posturing on guns
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 4:59 p.m.
In response to Carol Augthun's Jan. letter to the editor Tuesday, she seems to have left out a key word. With all due respect to the writer, she must mean military-style assault weapons. Military weapons are not available to the general public. Military weapons are highly regulated and can only be owned by a select group of individuals with the proper credentials issued by the federal government.
The reason the word style is so important is that it describes the difference between the appearance of the weapon and its function. For example, the AR-15 looks the same as the M-4 assault rifle used by our military but does not share all the same functions. Also, most hunting rifles are much more powerful and have a greater range than the AR.
Banning weapons that look scary is not a common-sense approach to gun violence. The need of a certain group in our country to control guns stems not from a common-sense, informed approach but from emotion. Handguns are the No. 1 weapon used in gun crime but were not addressed by the president. Why? The president knows that the legal, law-abiding citizens would not tolerate even the suggestion of banning handguns.
So Rep. Trey Gowdy is correct in saying the president's proposals are political. The president knows his proposals won't work and will do nothing to curb gun violence. Does anyone honestly believe a killer would not use a banned weapon or a high-capacity magazine because they are illegal?
If you want to control violence committed with guns, make the punishment so harsh that no one will want to suffer the consequences.

The old commercial went like this: "You've come a long way, baby, to get where you've got to today." And just where have we "got to today"? Thursday's front page of the Herald-Journal stated that women can now fight in combat; the back page stated that we have caught up to men in the risk of lung cancer due to smoking.
Wow, front lines in fighting and front lines in lung cancer. I'm not sure women can live with any more "advancements," but we can surely die from them. So very sad.

- May 7:
- Golden State Warriors hardly demoralized after devastating loss
- Golden State Warriors break Sports Illustrated cover drought
- Golden State Warriors blowing big leads a dangerous playoff trend
- Kawakami: Mark Jackson and Jarrett Jack are one of a kind
- Poole: Warriors depend on Curry and Thompson
- Third quarters belong to Warriors' Stephen Curry
- Warriors missed Klay Thompson's defense
SAN ANTONIO -- The question was simple, and rookie forward Draymond Green's answer was simply put.
"Is this late-game thing now a thing?" Green was asked.
"Nope," Green said, taking his finger and slicing it across his neck. "That's dead. We're over that."
If only it were so simple.
The Warriors' young team has never been on this stage before and it is showing when the pressure mounts. For the second consecutive playoff game, the Warriors blew a big lead late. Unlike Game 6 against Denver, this time they actually snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They led by 16 points with four minutes left in Game 1 against No. 2-seed San Antonio.
But the Spurs closed regulation with an 18-2 run to force overtime, hijacking the momentum and eventually the series opener, winning 129-127 in double overtime.
"We're just young and inexperienced right now," center Andrew Bogut said. "We're not doing a good job of closing out games both offensively and defensively. I think defensively is where it all starts. We can go into an offensive drought, but we can't allow a team to score 16 straight points."
The Spurs made six straight field goals, including two 3-pointers -- one from Danny Green that sent the game into overtime -- in the final 3:57. Meanwhile, Golden State was 1 of 7 with two turnovers.
So, coach Mark Jackson, you've seen the film. What happened?
"I think overall, you miss free throws, you don't value possessions, you throw away a possession offensively, you don't get back in transition, you don't pay attention to detail defensively, you give up a three, you have breakdowns."
The same happened, basically, against Denver. The Warriors, on their home court, led by 17 with 8:01 left in Game 6. Golden State missed 6 of its next 9 shots and turned it over nine times before guard Jarrett Jack sealed it in the final seconds with a pair of free throws.
Is a trend developing?
"It's a learning experience but it's a tough feeling," point guard Stephen Curry said. "You play so well for three-and-a-half quarters to put yourself in position to get a win on the road against a great basketball team, and you squander the lead. It is a concern you have to learn from. You can't keep doing the same thing, especially as these games in the playoffs become more important."
"It was killing me to watch from the sidelines," Thompson said. "I've got to be smarter than that. I play aggressive, but maybe limit to three or four fouls a night, just for the sake of our team because I need to be out there."
The Warriors weren't missing Thompson's to-die-for jumper. They were missing his defense. As soon as he came out, San Antonio guard Tony Parker took over the game.
"When Klay Thompson left the ball game, Tony Parker was able to create some separation," Jackson said. "I thought Harrison (Barnes) did a very good job on him, but Klay did a spectacular job on him."
Thompson has become Golden State's defensive stopper. His ability to play on-ball defense keeps the Warriors from having to switch and double-team, a big bonus for Golden State's scheme.
Thompson has been especially adept at defending smaller, quicker point guards. He was effective slowing down Denver's Ty Lawson. Monday against the Spurs, he gave Parker fits.
At the 3:57 mark of the fourth quarter, with the Warriors up 16, Thompson picked up his sixth foul. At that point, Parker had played 33 minutes and had 12 points on 4 of 15 shooting.
As soon as Thompson was disqualified, Parker proceded to score six points on 3 of 3 shooting with an assist during an 18-2 San Antonio run to close regulation.
Who would've thought when the Warriors drafted him out of Washington State in 2011, his value to the team would be defense?
Known for his shooting ability, Thompson has learned to use his size and sneaky athleticism to become a good man-to-man defender. He is especially effective against smaller, speedy guards.
"I think I've got pretty quick feet, people don't realize that," Thompson said. "I have worked a lot harder on my defense since I've gotten to this level."

Bond King's Fearless Forecasts for 2013
The bond king unwraps his market calls for the new year, and he did it in a very public forum.
In a pair of messages on Twitter, Pimco's Bill Gross made his calls for 2013.
He predicted the US dollar will lose ground, gold will rally and oil will rise above $100 a barrel at some point in the year.
He also predicted the five-year Treasury yield will end 2013 at 0.7%, a tad lower than 0.718% recently traded.
Gross: 2013 Fearless Forecasts: 1) Stocks & bonds return less than 5%. 2) Unemployment stays at 7.5% or higher 3) Gold goes up……
— PIMCO (@PIMCO) December 30, 2012
Gross: 2013 Fearless Forecasts con't: 4) 5-yr Treasuries yield .70% yearend. 5) Dollar declines & 6) Oil above $100 at some point in year.
— PIMCO (@PIMCO) December 31, 2012
That jibes with his view that bond yields of the medium-term maturity will continue to be pushed down by tepid growth and Fed buying.
Gross told Dow Jones earlier this month he favors five-year notes after Fed announced a new Treasury bond buying program in December. Gross expects the the unemployment rate to stay at 7.5% or higher, which will keep the Fed's quantitative easing program in play.

I'm a registered independent voter trying to figure out which presidential candidate to vote for in November. All the campaign bluster aside, here's my take on the candidates' policies that would affect the health of our nation.
Romney: He seems quite qualified with successful experience in both the private and public sectors. The fact that he's Mormon doesn't matter - these are good people. The fact that he's financially successful simply indicates that he was competent at doing private equity takeovers at Bain Capital. The bottom line is: What are his proposed policies?
• Regulation of banks and Wall Street: Rescind the regulations passed by Congress following the bank bailout fiasco.
• Taxes: Cut taxes for the wealthy/corporations and close unspecified loopholes.
• Safety Net: Diminish Social Security and Medicare benefits for the average citizen to reduce the deficit.
• Military: Increase funding for the Pentagon's budget, which is already bloated and wasteful.
• Eliminate the EPA and Energy Departments, allowing more uncontrolled development of domestic fossil fuels.
• International: Use strong-arm tactics to solve differences with Russia, China and Iran.
• Health Care: Replace the Affordable Health Care Act with a voucher system.
It would seem that Romney would return to the Bush policies that got us into trouble to begin with - all in the name of helping corporations compete globally and promoting trickle down economics. If the stock market is any indication, corporations are already doing well, and we know from history that the trickle down theory does not work. Trying to solve international problems with ultimatums and "drawing lines in the sand" often leads to war.
Obama: Winning the presidency in 2008 was, in part, a reaction to the unregulated free market policy of the Bush administration and their involvement in two unnecessary and expensive wars. The country was then brought to it's knees with a financial crash resulting in a free-falling economy, shedding 750,000 jobs per month and causing massive home foreclosures. The new president pursued corrective policies such as TARP, stimulus and automotive bailouts, but progress in the job market has been painfully slow because of the lingering global recession. His policies have been:
• Regulate the banks and Wall Street to avoid future bailouts.
• Reduce deficits by cutting expenditures (including the military), and increasing taxes on incomes greater than $250K
• Extend universal health care and improve system efficiencies.
• Promote renewable energy and efficiency to address climate change.
• Practice international cooperation through negotiation
The clinker in accomplishing either candidate's agenda is Congress, which continues to be paralyzed by special interest lobbying, ignoring the country's greater good through compromise.
On balance, I'm persuaded to continue with the President rather than regress to the "free-for-all" economic climate of the Bush era. Without question, the free enterprise system has brought us an improved standard of living, however, history has taught us that a certain amount of government regulation is necessary to avoid false prosperity and violent swings in the business world. Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.

FRISCO, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team swept the weekly Southland Conference honors on Monday, with Jordan Lee winning the Hitter of the Week honor for the first time this season, and Daniel Minor being named Pitcher of the Week for the fourth time, the league announced on Monday.
The Islanders went 2-1 against Lamar this past week behind the arm of Minor and the bat of Lee. It is the first time the team has swept the honors this season. Minor won the Pitcher of the Week award three times previously, with Adam Hoelscher also taking home the first one of the season. Jonathan Gonzales won Hitter of the Week two weeks ago, and Lee marks just the second time Texas A&M – Corpus Christi has gotten the offensive honor this season.
On Friday night, Minor set the tone with a complete game, striking out 10 batters while walking just one and giving up two runs. It was his fourth complete game of the season, as well as the fourth time he has had 10-or-more strikeouts in a contest. He improved to 9-2 and his ERA is now 1.94 after his first start at the top of the rotation in the second-to-last week of the season.
Lee did his part at the plate, hitting .538 in the three-game series, with hits and RBI on each day. He had two hits on Friday night, driving in one and scoring the eventual winning run. On Saturday, he moved to the leadoff spot, picking up one hit and two RBI as Texas A&M – Corpus Christi clinched the series. On Sunday he had a 4-for-5 day hitting while plating the only run of the game for the Islanders with an RBI single.
Minor, Lee and the Islanders will be in action this coming weekend as they travel to Arlington to face UT Arlington in the final Southland Conference weekend of the regular season. The team is looking to secure a spot in the Southland Conference Tournament while currently tied for seventh in the standings. The top eight teams advance to conference tourney.
The postseason tournament is scheduled to start next Wednesday in San Marcos at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark.

Lots of GF menu options including gf pasta. separate prep area and allergy alert apropriate for celiacs. no issues eating here with celiac disease.
Wonderful! The owner James even has gf noodles in case you want pasta. Will give you a sliced tomatoe to use with the dipping oil instead of bread if you ask. I keep going back because they care about my experience.
1001 West 75th Street, Woodridge, IL 60517
The food was DELICIOUS! As someone new to being GF, this was my first dining out experience. I researched the menu beforehand. I had the lettuce wraps, a side salad with house dressing, pollo rosa Maria, and garlic mash...ALL labeled GF. Unfortunately, I'm writing this review from my restroom where I'll seemingly be all night. I was so excited about eating out. Guess I'll stick to making dinner for myself.
3949 Trueman Blvd, Hilliard, OH 43026
They are very good at keeping food separate for gluten service was good as long as you explained
2335 Highway 6, Sugar Land, TX 77478
cozze in Blanca to die for, many menu choices including gf pasta. nice atmosphere. I'm ultra sensitive dx celiac I feel safe there. fun Italian atmosphere.
4765 S. 76th Street, Greenfield, WI 53220
I ate here tonight with another celiac who comes here regularly (my first visit). Lots of marked GF options, tasty food and no reaction.
370 Columbiana Drive, Columbia, SC 29212
Great GF pasta substitute, but I wish they had more than one. Regular menu has GF items labeled with GF. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the menu about the possibility of cross contamination in the kitchen, but that seems standard.
12728 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
Actually nice and know what GF is with menu choices including pasta
4503 Riverview Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35242
Sorry I didn't take the other reviews into consideration I got sick also. I eat at the Nashville location a lot I never have gotten sick there
6803 North Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
My husband and I are gluten sensitive and we felt very comfortable at this restaurant. The waittress understood our needs. Highly recommend this restaurant
202 N. Anderson Rd, Hendersonville, TN 37075
Haven't been in a while, on a budget & a diet. Greatly expanded GF menu.
1350 Bald Hill Road, Warwick, RI 02886
Excellent selection of delicious gluten free meals! Staff understands and treats me great each and every time I visit this location. They are the nicest and friendliest employees there! So glad they have Gluten free pasta- it is great to be able to have it! Love this place!
5152 Merten Drive, Mason, OH 45040
Nice selection for GF
14805 Dix-Toledo, Southgate, MI 48195
nice options for pasta
370 Columbiana Drive, Columbia, SC 29212
My husband has Celiac and this is one of the few places we eat in Columbia. Even though the salads are supposed to be gluten free, he doesn't eat them, because he gets sick. Nothing else that is marked GF makes him sick. wait staff, kitchen, everyone is very familiar with Celiac. highly recommend this restaurant
44695 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
They were so accommodating for my gluten allergy and for my mother in laws dairy allergy! I have never gotten sick after eating there. One of my favorite places to eat because they have so many options for me.
7401 West 92nd Ave., Westminster, CO 80021
Had a great GF meal with my family. Went on a Monday night and enjoyed the special for $13-15 / person. Soup or salad, entree and dessert (some of the fancier ones cost $2 more). Service was quick (ask for Chase as the sever). Found 1 regular noodle in the GF pasta dish. None of the 3 of us who are GF got sick. GF minestrone soup & Gelato were also yummy! Just make you let them know you are GF bc pasta can be made both ways (reg and GF). Other family members who ordered off the regular menu left satisfied. Husband and son enjoyed the soft bread and olive oil dipping sauce.
4765 S. 76th Street, Greenfield, WI 53220
I ate there on 7-17-2016 and had a bad reaction to the food. I had the chicken Marsala with mash potatoes and the Sicilian chicken soup (gf version). I have eaten here 3 times before with no problems but I always had the prosciutto wrapped pork chops with mash potatoes and broccoli. Just another restaurant I will cross off my list of places that I could eat at. I am very disappointed.
12728 Ocean Gateway, Ocean City, MD 21842
I love Carrabba's they understand my allergy although they do not have pizza and stuff they have amazing food I always get gluten free chicken Bryan and garlic mashed potatoes with a ceasar salad. Love love love!
10586 Metcalf Lane, Overland Park, KS 66212
Eaten here twice with excellent food, service and not gotten contaminated. They have separate prep area and lots of options including pasta!
5425 University Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34201
Sways fresh, delicious, and hot. Kudos to the manager. Even takeout is great! Never had a problem.
4503 Riverview Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35242
This place made me really sick would not recommend it
5425 University Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34201
Very good gluten free pasta dishes
12507 I-10 West, San Antonio, TX 78230
Good gluten-free pasta. I like it with shrimp. They were careful and I did not get sick. I like going there and would go again.
4503 Riverview Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35242
Got really really sick
553 Cool Springs Blvd., Franklin, TN 37067
I went there and we made sure to tell the waiter about my allergies and he took very good care of it. I tried ordering the gluten free pasta with the sauce and meatballs but he made sure to warn me that the meatballs are NOT gluten free so I ordered something else and I didn't get sick and they are very good about not cross contaminating if you tell them about your allergies. There are also a lot of gf appetizers.
5425 University Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34201
I typically give the benefit of the doubt but three chances are too much. I've eaten at 3 carrabbas in three different states and each messed up our order. 1st time they forgot a gf entree and put croutons only wife's gf salad. You can't just share when they forget the one thing you can eat. 2nd time croutons on salad and put shrimp instead of chicken in our entree (shell fish allergy in addition to celiac). Each time the receipt stated gf and no shrimp, but was still wrong. Last night we tried again using the gift cards we got from the first two mistakes. I clearly stated we needed gf and that we were using gift cards from mistakes with previous orders. My wife's order of gf Alfredo had regular Alfredo noodles. We thought it looked different and luckily my wife didn't eat any before we called and checked. Again they apologized and offered to remove the charge. That's all well and good, but my issue is with carrabbas apparent indifference to food allergies. If you advertise a gf menu, you have to be willing to provide safe meals. Carrabbas obviously has a very poor training program for food allergies and a lack of accountability by their management. Eat at your own peril, but we've given up.
12957 Cortez Blvd., Brooksville, FL 34613
Their GF food is delicious but I don't think their kitchen is trained or understands Celiac's requirements. I've been sick 3/4 times severely from CC on pasta, pork loin, and soup. I've tried a variety of orders and GF items and have been sick 75% of time. love, love, love their food but think this location is poorly trained on GF preparation.
739 Lynnhaven Pkwy, Virginia Beach, VA 23452
didn't get to try their GF pasta since it was gonna take at least 20 minutes for the pasta to be ready. hopefully will get to try it again.
10562 US Highway 98 W, Sandestin, FL 32550
I eat here a lot because so far, knock on wood, I have never been glutened. the food is always great. The servers are always very understanding.
3194 Atlanta Highway, Athens, GA 30606
Had the gf shrimp pasta. Tasted really good but kind of pricey.
15 Van Campen Blvd., Wilmington, NC 28403
Excellent meal! At first the sauce was a bit too thin but the manager was wonderful about fixing it & even making it up to us by reducing the check. He also offered to remake my daughter's so that we would all eat together but we declined. Everyone was very apologetic & helpful!
9965 San Jose Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32258
Always do a fantastic job with our gluten free Chicken Alfredo👍 and yes they do gluten free pasta now🙌
5030 Tiedeman Road, Brooklyn, OH 44144
Ate here twice and got sick both times. Not for people with celiac. Was told they have a gluten free menu but they cook the food on the same grill as the gluten food. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!
1954 13th Avenue Drive SE, Hickory, NC 28602
Sadly, this place is not Celiac safe. I've been to many different locations since Carraba's is my favorite italian restaurant, and this one gives them a bad rep. I made the server aware that I had a "gluten allergy" (celiac). Ordered the chicken bryan with gluten free alfredo, and a side caesar salad with no crutons. She brought our salads out and mine seemed fine. I started to eat, and then I bit into a small piece of a cruton. It definitely caught me off guard because I haven't been served gluten, much less eaten any, since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. it made me extremely upset knowing I'd end up being very sick later on due to the carelessness of the kitchen staff. The manager apologized but didn't seem sincere. I would have told them to keep my food had my husband not told me I needed to eat. My alfredo ended up being extremely bland, and my chicken was still raw halfway through eating it. I didn't say a word because I was just ready to go. Got the bill and they didn't compensate me for anything. The manager actually came by wanting to know how my entree was and I just said "fine" when I should have just given her a piece of my mind. I will never return to this location. They don't give a damn about gluten intolerant customers, and their food is just not up to par with the rest of the chain. I'd say it definitely needs new management.
2200 W. Int'l. Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Gluten Free menu and now Gluten Free pasta! My advice- bring your own bread and ask the server for your own spice/oil dish.
3194 Atlanta Highway, Athens, GA 30606
Order to go from here often. I've only had one occasion where it could've ended poorly and the person bringing my food to my car (to go order) caught it (a piece of regular pasta was mixed in with my gf pasta) and apologized for the wait bc they wanted to remake my entire meal. He saved me totally. Amazing service.
544 N. Thompson Lane, Suite E, Murfreesboro, TN 37129
Their gluten free pasta with bolognese sauce is so good! I have always had good luck here and the staff has always seemed very knowledgeable.
18375 W. Bluemound Road, Brookfield, WI 53045-2920
Menu labeled well, server knowledgable, and no reaction after eating there. Didn't love my meal (preference not quality issue) but it was good overall.
4209 Sycamore Dairy Road, Fayetteville, NC 28303
Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The gluten free options were on the menu clearly. The pots and cook area are separated.
5820 Red Bug Lake Road, Winter Springs, FL 32708
Went for my bday on 5/11 and it was awesome! Kids got grilled chicken with the gf pasta with pomodoro sauce. They loved it! My Chicken Bryan was delish as usual. Server was super nice and understanding about our needs.
5312 New Hope Commons Drive, Durham, NC 27707
I ate here tonight and found a strand of normal spaghetti in the middle of my gluten free pasta with bolognese. The manager was very apologetic and seemed to take the issue seriously, but it still happened. The manager assured us they cooked the GF pasta in a separate pot and use separate utensils so he was not sure how it happened. But I am now bracing to get very sick :(
44695 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Friendly and excellent gf menu.
210 West Day Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545
Surprisingly enough they have a large selection of GF items. They are all marked on their menu so there's no need to ask for a separate/special menu.
587 South Stratford Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27103
I absolutely love Carraba's. I had never eaten here until I was diagnosed with Celiac, and I am so thankful for them. Their food is always absolutely delicious and they are so cautious about gluten allergies/intolerances. My server was extremely pleasant and sweet. I ordered the chicken bryan with a side of gluten free alfredo and it was omg good. Mouthwatering. The best thing I've had there yet. The rest of the family isn't gluten intolerant, so they ordered things like shrimp alfredo. The shrimp were huge, and they didn't skimp. My husband and mother-in-law both loved their food. I also had a blackberry sangria and it was really good. They take Celiac very seriously here and I love the fact that you can even order alfredo because their sauce is made with rice flour. Will continue to go back!!!
2240 E. Highway 50, Clermont, FL 34711
Many GF items, waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about Gluten sensitivity.
502 West Bay Area Blvd., Webster, TX 77598
They give you a second meal - they forgot to do the gf version the second time.
502 West Bay Area Blvd., Webster, TX 77598
good food, good staff knowledge. wish there were more\better options
955 Riverdale Street, W. Springfield, MA 01089

I ordered one of their newer dishes with GF pasta. I also had the GF soup option which was really good and a sweet tea. When my pasta came out, it looked delicious. I mixed it up and took a couple bites and realized it didn't taste right. it was then my waiter came running back saying that they mixed up the pasta and that wasn't GF pasta. They did remake my meal with the GF pasta but that's not going to fix the fact that I ingested some of the regular pasta noodles. They didn't discount my meal or anything for their mix up. Don't think I'm going to risk going back even though they claim to take food allergies/sensitivities seriously. Edit: 05/02/16 I put in a complaint to the Carrabba's website and the owner promptly called me. He's going to figure out where the mix up occurred and find a way to prevent this from occuring again. He's also going to refund my meal back onto my debt card. He's also invited me back to speak directly with him or his assistant about the issue, how to prevent it, and provide a safe meal.

Had the soup and salad. Very friendly staff and made sure my meal was safe! Carrabbas is a go-to of mine while traveling because I seem to always be able to get a safe meal there 👍

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta committee members approved a change that affects how customers pay their water bills.
Utilities Director Tom Weidmeier says new technology means meter readers don't need as long as they used to before sending you a bill. The department is extending the reading cycle by two days a month, meaning for the next 10 months, there will be a longer billing period.
Weidmeier says the change will mean customers get their bills in a more timely manner to accurately reflect the water they're using.
"A lot of people will call and complain about their bill. They say, 'I know I didn't use that much water last month.' Actually, they're looking at a bill that's two months old rather than one month old," he said.
The move comes as the Utilities Department looks to find a new space for business. Right now, the department is leasing space for $15,000 a month.
