Dharamsala is the main hill station in the Kangra Valley - a fertile, undulating valley, lying between the gentle Shivalik Hills and the foothills of the mighty Dhauladhars - a valley noted for the beauty of its scenery - lush terraces, wooded hills, manicured tea gardens and sparkling streams. The Dhauladhars, "the white mountains" that rise 4,000 m above the valley floor, provide a dramatic backdrop.
Picturesque Dharamsala, built on a spur of the Dhauladhar range, commands splendid view of the surrounding country. Originally a little hill resort built by the British, Dharamsala rambles up in levels to very near the snow line. While Lower Dharamsala (1,250 m) is the busy commercial area with government buildings, the bazar and the bus stand, Upper Dharamsala (1,982 m) has suburbs with evocative names like Forsythganj and Macleodganj that are quite fascinating.
Places to see:
Up in Macleodganj is a charming Tibetan settlement with bustling bazaars that sell carpets, handicrafts and delicious Tibetan food. A giant prayer wheel ornaments a main street and in the monastery, a serene statue of the Lord Buddha presides over the gentle chanting of the monks.
The Dalai Lama resides in Macleodganj, which is now a major centre of Tibetan culture. It has the School of Tibetan Studies with rare manuscripts and ancient texts, the Tibetan Institute for the performing Arts and a handicrafts centre.
St.John in the wilderness
A stone church with delicate stained glass windows and a memorial to Lord Elgin.

Kunal Pathri

Dal Lake
A popular picnic spot surrounded by forests of fir. An annual fair is held here, every September.(11 Km)
Dharamkot (2,100m)
Above Upper Dharamsala is the Dharmkot Hill with a panoramic view of the majestic Dhauladhars.(11Km)
Close to Dal Lake is the shrine of Bhagsunath, an easy walk from the Macleodganj Bazaar. There is a pretty waterfall not far away. (11 Km)
Machhrial and Tatwani
A beautiful waterfall at Machhrial and the hot springs at Tatwani a little beyond it, are pleasant picnic spots (25 Km).
Kareri (1,983 m)

Around Dharamsala :
A natural cave temple at Trilokpur, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva, has stalactite and stalagmite formations. (41 Km)
Beautiful temples at Masrur, carved out of monolithic rocks in the style of the Kailash Temple at Ellora, date to the 8th century A.D. Masrur is just 15 Km south of Kangra. (40 Km)
The ruined fort and Krishna temple at Nurpur are noted for fine wood carving. Nurpur, which was named after the Mughal Empress Nurjehan, is famous for its fine pashmina shawls and textiles. (66 Km)

JACKSON -- Poultry growers are looking for some help after the April 28 tornadoes that caused tremendous damage on farms and the loss of more than a million birds in four Mississippi counties.
The Mississippi Board of Animal Health reports more than one million birds were lost to the tornadoes or subsequent power outages. Winston, Wayne, Newton and Scott counties reported 58 houses with major damage and 17 houses with minor damage.
Tom Tabler with the Mississippi State University Extension Service said many poultry growers have significant recovery expenses but no options for income except disaster money. He said some of them may have lost their homes in addition to their poultry houses.
"There will not be any quick fixes for these farm families," he said.
The Extension Service hosted a meeting with poultry growers on May 8.
Winston County grower Tim Hobby said he lost 10 broiler houses and 234,000 birds. About half of the birds arrived four days before the storm, and he said the others were placed in the houses about two hours before the tornado barreled through.
Hobby said his immediate need is debris removal.
"I would need 2 miles of roadside to pile all this within 10 feet of the right of way for the county to pick up. There is just too much for that to work," he said.
Mike Sullivan of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency told growers the agency hopes the livestock indemnity portion of the new farm bill will move along faster than it did in the old farm bill.
"These recent tornadoes are the first time we are implementing the new legislation. Unfortunately for Mississippi, but fortunately for those impacted, we have a lot of experience handling disasters," Sullivan said.

THEOHARIS TOUMAZATOS, PLAINTIFF,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DEFENDANT.
Presently before the Court is Theoharis Toumazatos's motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Toumazatos claims that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance during the sentencing phase of his criminal proceeding. For the following reasons, the motion is DENIED.
On February 19, 2010, Toumazatos pled guilty to a one-count information alleging mail fraud. (Ex. B to Gov't Br. in Opp'n (Doc. No. 4-2) ("Plea Tr.").) Toumazatos pled guilty pursuant to the terms of a plea agreement, which provided that, "The defendant will not file an appeal or otherwise challenge, by petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 or any other provision, the conviction or sentence in the event that the Court imposes a term of imprisonment of 57 months or below." (Ex. A to Gov't Br. in Opp'n (Doc. No. 4-1) ("Plea Agr.") at ¶ 4.)
The assigned magistrate judge, Judge Azrack, took Toumazatos's plea. During that proceeding, Judge Azrack asked Toumazatos whether he understood every term that was in his plea agreement. Toumazatos answered yes. Judge Azrack continued:
Do you agree to the terms that are contained in it?
The Defendant: Yes, your Honor.
The Court: Did you sign it at the end to show your agreement?
The Court: Is that your signature on the last page?
The Court: Mr. Toumazatos, has anybody made any promises to you about this case that aren't contained in the written plea agreement?
The Defendant: No, your Honor. (Plea Tr. at 9.)
Judge Azrack then discussed Toumazatos's right to appeal. She explained that "under limited circumstances, you can appeal your sentence." (Id. at 13.) She continued, "I see in your plea agreement in paragraph four, you've agreed not to appeal your sentence if it's 57 months or less." (Id. at 14.) She then asked Toumazatos:
And so you understand that[] the only situation in which you could appeal your sentence would be if Judge Mauskopf sentence[d] you to more tha[n] 57 months The Defendant: Yes, your honor. (Id.)
This Court sentenced Toumazatos on July 28, 2010 to a forty-four month term of imprisonment. (Ex. C to Gov't Br. in Opp'n (Doc. No. 4-3) ("Sentencing Tr.").) During that proceeding, this Court advised Toumazatos that, "under certain circumstances, you also have the right to appeal your sentence in this case." (Id. at 74.) The Court continued
[I]n your plea agreement here, your plea agreement waives some or all of your rights to appeal. Your plea agreement indicates that you have, you have waived your right to appeal if I sentence you to, I think it's 51 months or less. (Id. at 74.) The government's attorney corrected that the waiver was for a sentence of fifty-seven months or less, and the Court continued,
I'm sorry, 57 months or less. So you should discuss your right to appeal with your lawyer, but I just want to caution you that any notice of appeal has to be filed within ten days of the entry of judgment. Do you understand that?
Toumazatos answered, "Yes, your Honor." (Id. at 74-75.)
Toumazatos appealed his sentence. Upon a motion from the government, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissed his appeal because Toumazatos did not demonstrate "that the waiver of his appellate rights is unenforceable under United States v. Gomez-Perez, 215 F.3d 315, 219 (2d Cir. 2000)." (See Mandate (Doc. No. 99) in United States v. Toumazatos, No. 10-CR-43 (E.D.N.Y.).)
Toumazatos filed the instant motion on May 17, 2012. (Doc. No. 1.) The government filed its opposition to the motion on September 28, 2012 (Doc. No. 3), to which Toumazatos replied on December 20, 2012 (Doc. No. 9).
Section 2255 allows a convicted person held in federal custody to petition the sentencing court to vacate, set aside or correct a sentence if, as relevant here, "the sentence imposed was not authorized by law or otherwise open to collateral attack, or that there has been such a denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of the prisoner as to render the judgment vulnerable to collateral attack." 28 U.S.C. § 2255(b). Toumazatos does not ask this Court to vacate his sentence. Rather, he asks the Court to reinstate his right to appeal because his attorney was ineffective when advising him, after the plea agreement was made and after the sentence was imposed, that he could attack the appellate waiver and successfully appeal his sentence. To make out an ineffective-assistance of counsel claim, Toumazatos " 'must demonstrate that his counsel's performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness in light of prevailing professional norms; and (2) affirmatively prove prejudice arising from counsel's allegedly deficient representation." Cornell v. Kirkpatrick, 665 F.3d 369, 375 (2d Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
In his motion, Toumazatos alleges that trial counsel's performance was deficient for incorrectly advising him that he would be afforded the right to appeal any sentence and for advising him that the appellate waiver provision in the plea agreement was a formality. To support these allegations, Toumazatos submitted letters from various family members that were present at Toumazatos's sentencing. In sum, the family members state that, after Toumazatos was sentenced, the family gathered outside the courthouse, where Toumazatos's counsel told them all that, even though the plea agreement contained an appellate waiver, the waiver was standard in plea agreements and could be "fought." (See Pet.'s Mot. (Doc. No. 1) at 10-13.) Toumazatos also submitted a letter from his trial counsel, dated November 30, 2010, which states, "I believe I have incorrectly advised you on your rights to appeal. I advised you that you have the right to appeal any sentence given by the Judge. After a thorough review it seems that you don't have the right to appeal your sentence." (Id. at 14.)
The government counters that Toumazatos's appellate waiver is enforceable because it was the product of a knowing, voluntary waiver of his right to appeal in certain circumstances. Second, the government contends that Toumazatos cannot retain the benefits of his guilty plea and simultaneously excise the appellate-waiver provision by asserting an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim.
Toumazatos's motion is meritless. First, Toumazatos agreed in his plea agreement that he would not "not file an appeal or otherwise challenge, by petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 or any other provision, the conviction or sentence in the event that the Court imposes a term of imprisonment of 57 months or below." (Plea Agr. ¶ 4 (emphasis added).) Because Toumazatos was sentenced to 44 months' imprisonment, below the 57-month threshold in the waiver provision, his ineffective-assistance claim attacking the validity of the waiver -- including the waiver of appellate rights and the waiver of rights under § 2255 -- is meritless unless he can show that the plea agreement containing the waiver was itself entered into as the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. See Melicharek v. United States, No. 09-CV-8542, 2010 WL 1948492, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 13, 2010). Toumazatos has failed to make this showing. In fact, he does not allege that his counsel was ineffective when advising him about the terms of the plea agreement. Rather, he alleges that his attorney was ineffective only after Toumazatos entered into the plea agreement -- indeed, after he was sentenced -- when the attorney mistakenly told him and various family members that he had full appellate rights. Such facts do not suffice. See Jarvis v. United States, No. 10-CV-5693, 2012 WL 34091, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2012) (denying a § 2255 motion seeking to reinstate the defendant's appellate rights based on ineffective assistance of counsel where the defendant "offer[ed] no evidence to suggest that his representation in entering his plea was tainted by ineffective counsel").
Moreover, even if Toumazatos's allegations could be read to suggest that Toumazatos entered into the plea agreement as the result of ineffective assistance of counsel, the record belies those allegations. During the plea colloquy, Judge Azrack ensured that Tomazatos understood the terms of the agreement and made sure that no one -- including his counsel -- made him any promises that were not contained in the agreement. (Plea Tr. at 9.) Judge Azrack also advised Toumazatos that he was giving up his right to file an appeal in some circumstances. (Id. at 14.) Judge Azrack also asked trial counsel whether he discussed the plea agreement with Toumazatos. Counsel answered yes, and also assured the judge that, in his view, Toumazatos understood the rights he would be waiving by pleading guilty. (Id. at 5.) Toumazatos then told Judge Azrack that he had enough time to discuss the case with his attorney, and that he was satisfied with his attorney's representation. (Id. at 6.) The record demonstrates that Toumazatos received adequate representation in the course of entering into his plea agreement. See Jarvis, 2013 WL 34091, at *3 (denying § 2255 petition raising a similar claim as is raised here where the defendant stated, during the plea colloquy, that he understood the terms of his plea agreement and was satisfied with counsel's representation); Melicharek, 2010 WL 1948492, at *3 (denying § 2255 petition seeking to reinstate appellate rights where trial counsel informed the defendant of the consequences of his guilty plea and the court ensured that the defendant understood that he was waiving his right to appeal).
Toumazatos's petition fails for a second reason. "A defendant's knowing and voluntary waiver of his right to appeal a sentence within an agreed upon guideline range is enforceable." United States v. Djelevic, 161 F.3d 104, 106 (2d Cir. 1998). Just as the Second Circuit concluded in dismissing his direct appeal, Toumazatos has not shown that his waiver is unenforceable because it was not made knowingly, voluntarily, and competently, that he was sentenced based on constitutionally impermissible factors, such as ethnic, racial or other prohibited bases, or that the government breached the plea agreement. See Gomez-Perez, 215 F.3d at 319 (citations omitted). As such, Toumazatos cannot claim ineffective assistance as an "end-run around his plea agreement[]." United States v. Williams, 448 Fed. Appx. 156, 157 (2d Cir. 2012) (summary order). As the Second Circuit has instructed, "a defendant may not 'dress up' a challenge to the correctness of his sentence as a Sixth Amendment claim for ineffective assistance of counsel by arguing the deficiency of his counsel's performance 'not at the time of the plea, but at sentencing.'" Williams, 448 Fed. Appx. at 157 (quoting United States v. Djelevic, 161 F.3d 104, 107 (2d Cir.1998)). Here, Toumazatos's sentence fell below the cap contained in the appellate waiver in the plea agreement. His waiver was thus triggered, and it is enforceable.
Absent a showing of ineffective assistance of counsel in entering into the plea agreement containing the appellate waiver, Toumazatos's ineffectiveness argument here is "nothing more than an attempt to escape an enforceable waiver by collaterally attacking his sentence." Parisi v. United States, 529 F.3d 134, 138 (2d Cir. 2008). Thus, Toumazatos's efforts to get a second bite at the appellate apple fail.
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly, and close the case.

Belville has scheduled a special commissioners meeting for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, for input on financing construction of a town hall.
The board will host a public hearing for comment on the question of the town entering into a proposed installment purchase agreement with First Bank.
Belville would finance $950,000 to use to the purchase Lot 5 in the Belville Commons business development and build a town hall.
East Bladen beat North Brunswick 2-0 in a first-round game Saturday of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 2A state soccer playoffs.
The victorious Eagles (15-5-1) were the No. 8 seed in the East. North (11-8-3) was the No. 9 seed.
This was the third shutout in 21 games for the Eagles. The two other shutouts were against West Columbus, a team that finished 0-19.
BEULAVILLE — East Duplin beat North Brunswick 24-14 Friday, Nov. 4, and won the East Central Conference football championship.
The Panthers finished 5-0 in the ECC, 10-1 overall. North Brunswick is 4-1, 7-4.
"We're 7-4, and that is a good year," North coach Larry Brock said. "Heading into this year, I don't know if we could have done this."
East Duplin finished the regular season having given up 62 points (5.7 points a game). The Panthers shut out five teams.
Community organizations are now able to participate in a state program designed to save the lives of children through the distribution of bicycle helmets to low-income families. The N.C. Department of Transportation's Bicycle Helmet Initiative is accepting applications for the program through Dec. 9.
The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners has named Andrea White as clerk to the Board of Commissioners.
The board voted to reclassify the executive administrative assistant to the county manager position to the executive assistant/clerk to the board of commissioners position. As part of that action, the board appointed current Executive Administrative Assistant Andrea White as the clerk to the board of commissioners.
Gov. Pat McCrory announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved his request for citizens in six more counties, including Brunswick, inundated in October by flooding from Hurricane Matthew, to be eligible to receive Disaster Food and Nutrition Service benefits.
"Even though the storm has passed, there are still many people hurting in North Carolina," McCrory said in a news release. "As we begin to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Matthew, disaster food assistance is an additional step to help people get back on their feet again."
Nearly a month after Hurricane Matthew's unwelcome Oct. 8 hit, three Brunswick County beach towns are still dealing with the effects.
Holden Beach
Holden Beach's Central Reach Project is still set to begin mid-November despite the hurricane's destruction of some beach dunes, Town Manager David Hewett said.
The beach project would place up to 1.31 million cubic yards of sand along 4.1 miles of Holden Beach shoreline, stretching from 240 Ocean Blvd. E. to 781 Ocean Blvd. W.
While the Nov. 8 general election features local state, national races, plus a referendum on whether to allow county commissioners to enact a $152 million bond for capital improvements at county schools, some voters have taken the opportunity to cast their ballots early.
Brunswick County Board of Elections director Sara Knotts said, 32,094 voters used one-stop early voting and 1,712 voters used absentee by mail ballots as of Monday, Oct. 31.

NDX ADVISORS, INC., NDX CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC, NDX HOLDINGS, INC., NDX TRADING, INC., AND ST. CROIX CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC, PLAINTIFFS,v.ADVISORY FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS, INC. AND RUTHE P. GOMEZ, DEFENDANTS.
Before the Court are defendants' motion to transfer venue and motion to dismiss. For the reasons stated below, the motion to transfer is granted and the motion to dismiss is denied in part.
I. Background
Defendant Ruthe Gomez sells mutual funds and was the president and primary owner of defendant Advisory Financial Consultants, Inc. ("AFC"), a broker-dealer. In 2007, defendants brought an arbitration action against TradeRight Corp., Enterprise Trust Co. ("Enterprise"), and Locke Haven, LLC before a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") arbitration panel in California. In the arbitration proceeding, defendants alleged that in 2006 they sold their client accounts to Locke Haven, for the benefit of TradeRight and Enterprise, under the understanding that Gomez would continue to do business as she had before the transfer and without any change in her existing client relationships. Defendants further alleged that Gomez became registered with TradeRight, and transferred her personal and family accounts to TradeRight. According to the arbitration claim, as a result of Enterprise's misrepresentations and fraud, Enterprise gained complete control over the accounts of Gomez, her family, and her clients. Defendants also contend that TradeRight failed to pay them $225,000 owed under the transfer agreement, submitted a form to the FINRA that contained false and malicious statements about Gomez, ignored Gomez's requests for an accounting, and failed to pay Gomez trailing commissions from her clients' mutual fund investments.
Defendants' original arbitration statement of claim asserted fifteen claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, negligence, conversion, breach of contract, fraud, and conspiracy. Defendants allege that as a result of TradeRight, Enterprise, and Locke Haven's misconduct, Gomez "has suffered loss of clients, loss of income and her reputation and business prospects have substantially declined."
According to the complaint here, Enterprise ceased doing business in March 2008, after it was forced into receivership by the Securities and Exchange Commission. TradeRight also ceased doing business. TradeRight, Enterprise, and Locke Haven are not parties to this action.
In 2010, defendants filed an amended statement of claim in the arbitration proceeding, adding claims against the plaintiffs in this action. In defendants' amended statement of claim in the arbitration, they allege that the plaintiffs here are affiliated entities that are successors in interest to, and alter egos of, TradeRight. In addition to the claims asserted in the original statement of claim, the amended statement of claim asserts that TradeRight fraudulently conveyed assets to plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs filed this action here in early 2011, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief.
Plaintiffs allege that they are not alter egos of TradeRight, that they did not breach any legal duty owed any defendant, and that they are not liable for defendants' losses. In their claim for a declaratory judgment, plaintiffs ask the Court to declare the respective rights and obligations of the parties. In their claim for injunctive relief, plaintiffs ask the Court to enjoin defendants from pursuing claims against them in the California arbitration, and from initiating new or additional claims against plaintiffs "other than in a court of competent jurisdiction." Jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship: plaintiffs are citizens of Texas and Minnesota, and defendants are both California citizens.
II. Analysis
A. Motion to Transfer
1. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a)
The Court first considers defendants' motion to transfer this action to the Northern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). If venue is improper in the district in which a case was filed, the district court "shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). A diversity case such as this one may be brought in a district "where any defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the same State," or a district "in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated." See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a). In this context, a corporate defendant "resides" in any judicial district in which it is subject to personal jurisdiction when the action is commenced. Id. § 1391(c).
When a defendant has challenged venue, the plaintiff bears the burden of establishing that venue is proper. See Repository Techs. v. Sys. Consultants, Inc., No. 02 C 8640, 2003 WL 21148340, at *4 (N.D. Ill. May 16, 2003). The Court takes the facts alleged in the complaint as true unless they are controverted by affidavit, and draws all reasonable inferences in plaintiffs' favor. See Johnson-Ester v. Schwarzenegger, No. 09 C 5384, 2010 WL 1257787, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 25, 2010). In this analysis, the Court may examine facts outside the complaint. See id.
Since this is not a case in which all defendants reside in Illinois, plaintiffs must show that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred here in order to establish that venue is proper in the Northern District of Illinois. In the complaint, plaintiffs allege that a substantial part of the events giving rise to the controversy between plaintiffs and defendants occurred in this district because "it was in this judicial district, if any, that Enterprise engaged in the conduct alleged to have caused Defendants' investment losses."
In response to this argument, defendants disagree with plaintiffs' characterization of the underlying arbitration action as relating to defendants' "investment losses." Instead, defendants maintain that their claims in the arbitration proceeding fundamentally concern TradeRight's failure to pay Gomez $225,000 owed under the transfer agreement, TradeRight's withholding of sales commissions from Gomez, and defamatory remarks made by TradeRight about Gomez on securities industry forms. According to defendants, there is no nexus between Enterprise's allegedly fraudulent conduct and the underlying arbitration proceeding.
However, defendants' amended statement of claim in the arbitration proceeding asserts that Enterprise fraudulently gained control over accounts of defendant Gomez, her family, and her clients. The amended statement of claim asserts claims against Enterprise, TradeRight, and plaintiffs for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, and conspiracy, based in large part on the allegation that Gomez was fraudulently induced into entrusting funds to Enterprise and granting Enterprise control over her accounts. Although defendants may consider their breach of contract and defamation claims to be their more significant claims in the arbitration proceeding, it appears that Enterprise's conduct is squarely at issue in the arbitration proceeding as well. Moreover, venue may be proper in more than one district, and the fact that a substantial part of the events also may have occurred elsewhere does not prevent venue from being proper here. See In re LimitNone, LLC, 551 F.3d 572, 575 (7th Cir. 2008)
Defendants offer nothing to dispute that Enterprise's allegedly fraudulent conduct occurred in the Northern District of Illinois; indeed, defendants' arbitration claim itself states that "[a]lthough Enterprise holds itself out as headquartered in Nevada, all operational activities are in Oakbrook [sic], Illinois." The Court finds that plaintiffs have met their burden of establishing that a substantial part of the events underlying the claims took place here. The motion to transfer pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) is denied.
2. 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a)
In the alternative, defendants urge the Court to transfer this action to the Northern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). A district court may transfer a civil action to any other district where the case otherwise might have been brought, "[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). In evaluating the convenience of the parties and witnesses, courts should consider the plaintiff's choice of forum, the location of the material events, the residence of the parties, the parties' relative abilities to bear the expense of a trial in a particular forum, and the relative ease of access to evidence and witnesses in each forum. Moore v. AT & T Latin Am. Corp., 177 F. Supp. 2d 785, 789 (N.D. Ill. 2001). In determining the interests of justice, courts should consider the feasibility of consolidation with related litigation, the speed at which the case will proceed to trial, and the court's familiarity with the applicable state law in a diversity case. See Coffey v. Van Dorn Iron Works, 796 F.2d 217, 221 (7th Cir. 1986). The movant bears the burden of establishing that the transferee forum is clearly more convenient. Id. at 219-20.
Plaintiffs do not dispute that both defendants reside in the Northern District of California. The Court finds that venue is proper in the Northern District of California, and that this case "otherwise might have been brought" there. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a).
The Court next considers the factors relating to the convenience of the parties and witnesses. Plaintiffs' choice to file their action here ordinarily would weigh heavily against transfer. However, because this is not plaintiffs' home forum, their choice is entitled to less deference than in the ordinary case. See Plotkin v. IP Axess, Inc., 168 F. Supp. 2d 899, 902 (N.D. Ill. 2001). It appears that material events in this case took place in both Illinois and California, and therefore that factor is neutral.
The Court turns to the residence and convenience of the parties. Both defendants are located in the Northern District of California, and no party is located in the Northern District of Illinois. Defendant Gomez is 86 years old, and presumably would experience some level of difficulty traveling here. Although the president of plaintiffs NDX Trading, NDX Holdings and NDX Advisors states that plaintiffs cannot afford to try this case in the Northern District of California, he does not explain why it would be financially more feasible for these Texas and Minnesota entities to do so here. The Court concludes that the residence and convenience of the parties factors weigh heavily in favor of transfer.
According to plaintiffs, TradeRight's books and records are located in the Northern District of Illinois. Defendants state that documents relating to AFC's and Gomez's claims are located in the Northern District of California. Neither side suggests that the evidence in this case would be difficult to transport from one jurisdiction to another, however, and therefore the access of proof factor is neutral. See Kammin v. Smartpros, Ltd., No. 07 C 2665, 2007 WL 3046128, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 9, 2007).
The Court next examines the convenience of the witnesses. The Court weighs the convenience of non-party witnesses more heavily than the convenience of witnesses within the control of the parties, since party witnesses are presumed to appear voluntarily. See First Nat'l Bank v. El Camino Resources, Ltd., 447 F. Supp. 2d 902, 913 (N.D. Ill. 2006).
In their response to the motion to transfer venue, plaintiffs identify one party witness who lives in Illinois: NDX Trading registered representative Alan Rodriguez, who signed a letter which defendants contend is evidence that NDX Trading was TradeRight's successor. Plaintiffs also identify four non-party witnesses who live in Illinois: TradeRight president Michael Rukujzo, and three other individuals who signed the transfer agreement on behalf of TradeRight and Locke Haven. Rukujzo and one of the agreement signatories state that their present financial and work requirements would not allow them to travel to Northern California to testify at a deposition or trial.
Defendants identify one party witness who lives in California: defendant Gomez. Defendants also identify two witnesses who are former directors of AFC, live in California, and would testify regarding TradeRight's alleged breach of the transfer agreement. According to plaintiffs, these two individuals are shareholders of AFC and are also defendant Gomez's adult children.
In addition, defendants identify 65 non-party witnesses who live in California. Fourteen of these witnesses are former registered representatives of AFC, who would testify regarding the transfer of AFC's customer accounts to TradeRight, and TradeRight's alleged breach of the transfer agreement. The remaining 51 witnesses are former clients of AFC, who would testify regarding the transfer of their accounts from AFC to TradeRight and/or Enterprise, and the subsequent transfer of their accounts to plaintiff NDX Trading; some of these witnesses may also testify as to 2009 correspondence they received from NDX Trading that stated that NDX Trading assumed TradeRight's former account relationships. Defendants do not explain why the testimony of all 14 former registered representatives and 51 former clients is necessary, and it appears that much of this testimony would be cumulative. Even assuming that only a handful of these individuals testify, however, a significant number of witnesses are located in California. The Court finds that the convenience of the witnesses weighs in favor of transfer.
Finally, the Court considers the interest of justice factors. The parties have not identified any litigation with which this case could be consolidated. Nor have the parties identified any complex or unsettled issues of state law such that it would be advantageous for a particular court to try the case. See First Nat'l Bank v. El Camino Resources, Ltd., 447 F. Supp. 2d 902, 914 (N.D. Ill. 2006) (noting that a court's familiarity with state law is a neutral factor where the law in question is neither complex nor unsettled). Relevant statistics regarding the relative speed at which cases proceed to trial in the Northern District of Illinois and the Northern District of California suggest that this factor favors transfer. See Federal Court Management Statistics (2010), available at "http://www.uscourts.gov/viewer.aspx?doc=/cgi-bin/cmsd2010Sep.pl" (indicating that for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2010, the median time from filing to trial was 28.2 months in the Northern District of Illinois and 21.5 months in the Northern District of California).
Having carefully balanced the relevant factors, the Court concludes that defendants have established that the Northern District of California is clearly more convenient than the Northern District of Illinois. The motion to transfer this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) is granted.
B. Motion to Dismiss
Defendants also move to dismiss plaintiffs' claims for lack of personal jurisdiction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2), and for failure to state a claim pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). The motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is denied as moot. The motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim remains pending, and is transferred with the case.
ORDERED: Defendants' motion to transfer [11] is granted. This action is ordered transferred to the Northern District of California. Defendants' motion to dismiss [12] is denied in part: the motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is denied as moot, and the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim remains pending, and is transferred with the case.

Light and Tasty Lemon Yogurt Pancakes
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
I've seen several lemon pancake recipes, but they had either cottage cheese or ricotta. These are made with yogurt. They're low fat too. From Outpost Natural Foods. Instead of lemon flavored yogurt, I use plain and add 1/2 lemon to a double batch. 8 pancakes wouldn't go very far in this family!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free lemon yogurt or 1⁄2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- In bowl, beat the egg and mix in the yogurt, milk and oil.
- Stir in sugar and nutmeg.
- In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add the flour mixture to the liquid and mix. The batter will be thick.
- Grease and heat a griddle and pour out 1/4 C batter.
- Cook pancakes until they begin to bubble, then turn and cook on other side.
- Serve warm with maple syrup or Cherry Pancake Syrup.

Jan 3 2010: Really, really good pancakes. I used plain yoghurt and added 1 tsp of lemon juice. Just love the flavour of these as did the rest of the family. We will definitely make these again. Update Nov 29 2010: I just had to let you know that I must have made these pancakes at least 20 times by now. They are a stable in our fridge meaning that I will mix the batter ahead for a quick breakfast for the kids on weekday mornings. I use yoghurt 1 tsp of lemon juice and I by now completely omit the oil - I don't find it necessary at all. All together a healthy breakfast when served with some applesauce. I have also served these for the morning after a big slumber party and I am now known as 'the mom that makes really good pancakes...'
These where good, but my one regret was that they weren't as lemony as I expected. I used lemon yogurt, and even added some lemon extract, because I love lemon.. but the flavor wasn't strong at all. I'd still make these again though!
These were nice..I would have liked a little more lemon flavour, maybe some4lemon juice or extract added would be great...but the texture was good and these tasted great straight from the pan, didn't need anything on top.

Circles catered one of the events i attended. We had a four-course dinner at the ballroom.
Food was pretty and delicious. They obviously used high quality ingredients and had good chefs cook them. My favourite dish was the pear and chocolate tartlet with walnut ice cream! All the elements of the dessert were absolutely wonderful.

Dinners at Circles are always something I look forward to. It has been the venue for most of our Sunday family dinners, birthday celebrations, and anniversaries. In short, it's been a favorite of mine eversince I was introduced to the wonders of buffet restaurants.
There are two staple buffet restaurants in Manila for me, and Circles is one. I must say that after years of dining here, they still have the best rib-eye steaks, always served in big portions, complimented by their red wine sauce or mushroom sauce. It's definitely the place to visit if you're the steak-devouring kind of person.
Choices in the Asian section arent as much, but boy do they have yummy dimsums. The magic happens after you pass by the Asian section. The western part is a dream. If you happen to chance upon their shawarma, go for it. They have a good one, although it's not always there. Their pasta section is also nice, chefs are always so nice to diners and serves good pasta. This time I tried their spinach ravioli in white sauce and I enjoyed it. Their seafood thermidor is also a must try. No lansa factor at all. Love it. Lamb portions are also great.
Try their cold cuts section, they have this particular cold prawns/shrimp and that's the one I always go for! Their charcuterie section is not as big as Spiral's, but they have a good selection of cheeses, brie being one. They also have hummus but I havent gotten around to liking it yet even after two tries.
After stuffing your tummies with all the good food, go directly to the dessert section!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been more than a year since they upgraded it and I must say that they just keep getting better and better. I love everything, but I love their signature vanilla ice cream mixed with the dark chocolate cake (self-discovered easy recipe years ago!). Their catalene creme is also great. If they happen to serve their kitkat cakes, try it without hesitation, you will love the hazelnut kick!
Circles is perfect for family gatherings and intimate dinners. They have a smaller selection of food but then I think they curate them well. Their staff are familiar faces already and they all look like they love their jobs. Service is great and cleanliness too. Be sure to try dining on a table with a view of their outdoor water feature!

This is the counter version of makati Shangrila. I actually got two passes for this buffet. So sad i could not invite anyone with me cause we always go out with friends as a group. I initially invited my sister however she declined cause she got work.
Having completed all Shangrila buffet cafes around the metro, i could give them a compare and contrast review for all. At the end, IMHO shall i decide who's the best.
I think among the three (heat, highstreet, circles), i still find high street the best. At high street, i remember they would still check if you are enjoying the food. The second best is circles already. I remember them offering me coffee. But i think they could really get busy when customers flock the place. I remember the service here on my first day. Grabe. None was changing my plate.
place/ ambience
Still, ambience at high street is the best followed by heat lastly is this place. Among the three, this is the smallest buffet area. Still, overall, the three were high classed naman.
Take this salad first. As you enter the place, you'll see it immediately. There are mixed greens, solo greens, different kind of olives, capers, quinoa, sun dried tomatoes, mayo and thousand island dresings, nuts (walnuts, almonds and pecan).
Choose/ make your own pasta. I chose the red (healthier) option which is more tasteless. You could choose your proteins next (i chose prawns, mussels, broccoli and zucchini) then choose your sauce (i had red). Chef will take time to cook your pasta so get other stuff.
Not so hype. I think high street still wins this round. I remember from HS the sashimi served right from the tuna. At circles, it's not so fresh. The huge clams amazed me though.
Still, HS is better. At circles, you can find this on the farthest end from the entrance. There's roasted duck and asado which were very tasty. The noodles served there are not yet cooked. Get a bowl and place them there and ask the chef to cook it for you. As for me, i did not take a bowl. I told the chef i don't like soup. So i requested my noodles to be blanched lang.
Yay! Circles won this time! I love how tender it is! I super enjoyed the medium rare steak. Wine and mushroom sauce to taste. There were also roasted potatoes and veggies at the sides. Just make sure you go here early so you get the tasty and best parts.
This one is unique for circles. I like the corn palak(first day) and mushroom palak(on the second day) the lamb korma was so tender i couldn't believe it was lamb! The fish curry was so-so (used tuna). There were weird vegetable stuff which i did not taste cause it was not that appealing. But i guarantee it's authentic because i saw the indian chef walking tall.
I'm torn between circles and HS. But this one is good too. I love the big raspberries and blackberries. The chocolate fondue--who could not resist dipping those marshmallows!! Their ice cream was a flunk though. Magnolia with only three flavors (chocolate, vanilla and ube). On the second day they have the yoghurt sorbet which i took. I added the granola and nuts ay the salad station. (HS won the ice cream cause they served manila creamery)
There were some food that i did not try at circles event cafe: filipino and seafood. Simply because filipino food and dealing with crustaceans does not interest me much. The fruits as well i did not try.
Don't park at shangrila kasi mahal. I parked at car park link just beside it. I just paid 50PhP for my whole stay.
The CR is at the left side outside the circles event cafe. High classed as what is expected from Shangrila.
The wifi is really fast and reliable. I posted my pics at IG right after capturing good food.
So for me:
Winner: High Street Cafe. High 5!
1st runner up: Heat. 4!
2nd runner up: Circles. High 3!

I'm not a big fan of eating in buffet restaurants, but I do enjoy the process of having a variety of dishes to choose from. It's nice to come back at Circles Events Cafe. Last time I was here was last month during my father-in-law's birthday (lol). The food selection is pretty good. It's a selection of international cuisine but being the usual me, I just ate the sashimi, fresh seafood, salad, prime rib and of course, dessert! My favorite here is the prime rib. This is just my personal opinion, but for the price tag - I would rather eat at Escolta or High Street Cafe in Shangri-La Fort. Good thing though, tonight's dinner was free coz somebody gave us coupons.

Celebrated my dad's birthday here last week for lunch. It's been ages since I've been to shangri-la and a few years as well since I've eaten at circles.
No big changes to the interiors or even place setting from what I remember. There are several stations - seafood, Japanese, carving, hot dishes, salad, Indian, Chinese and even a few Filipino dishes. We added 155 for the iced tea buffet which included brewed peach, berries or lemon lime
Tea. Very refreshing IMO!
For the spread, there wasn't any stand out for me except maybe for the seafood which you can have prepared to your liking. The steak was just meh for me and my dad, seven corners parin Kung steak
Had a long lazy lunch service was good too.
Spread was good but i like the spread at heat better.

You'll surely love it here. They offer a wide variety of steaks, salads, seafood, they also purvey different cuisines and not to mention their gastronomic out-of-this-world desserts. Unlike other buffet restaurants that i've tried the ambience here is soothing and relaxing maybe because there is a man-made garden outside and also the noise caused by the other guests is not that loud. Staffs were attentive and efficient. Will definitely go back.

I haven't eaten here in a long while.
they have an extended promo of P1,280/head nett and we ate here during Chinese New Year's Eve.
I didn't eat a lot, i just ate what i was craving for.
the salmon sashimi was a bit wet. not sure if fresh or not.
the California temaki. I ordered less rice and no vegetable. but the nori wasn't crunchy.
the prime rib (pictured) was excellent. I requested for the end so it will be flavorful.
the watermelon was seedless, juicy and very sweet.

Had lunch here with a friend. We were lucky that they had a promo of PHP1280 nett per head, vs. the usual PHP1800 or PHP2350. Understandably, Circles was packed, so we were lucky to have been accommodated even though we didn't have reservations.
Upon being seated (in the far corner), I skimmed the area to see which items are no-miss, since I won't be able to taste everything anyway.
The Japanese station offered just a few variants, but glad that my favorite salmon sashimi and nigiri were present, and were very fresh, with no strong fishy smell or taste.
Other items I tasted: cheese and crackers, pizza (quite good!), veggie tempura, fresh salad, and ravioli (this one tasted a bit weird for me--I couldn't figure out what was in the pasta, but it tasted like medicine). The cuisines I wasn't able to visit--Indian, Chinese, Filipino.
Personally, the highlight of the whole experience was the dessert station, more specifically the assorted cakes, pastries and ice cream. I unfortunately was unable to take note of the names because I was too overwhelmed with how good the desserts were. They had this dark chocolate mousse with actual blackberries thay was so amazingly rich and smooth, that eating it was like flavorful chocolate melting in my mouth. The sweet, slightly sour berries were a perfect complement. This is really one of the best cakes I've eaten.
There were these cheesecake-ish and mango cake dessert that were so light to the taste. I also got to taste a strawberry cream puff that was so creamy and fluffy inside. Then I tasted a bit of the vanilla-chocolate ice cream, which was light but quite flavorful.
I ended this sinfully, sumptuous buffet meal with Peppermint Dilmah Tea, while my friend got their brewed coffee.
Overall experience was almost perfect except for some opportunity areas-- wish they could have quickly refilled some of the stations, specifically the shrimp tempura. Another is on service. Consistently, the staff wasn't as warm as compared to other competitors (ie., Manila Peninsula); some were even cold/irritable, detached at best.
Still, one of the best dinner buffets I've had, in terms if variety of options and quality of food

We availed their 50% off buffet promo. I dunno if it's because of the promo discount that their food, lineup and quality were bad. The only items I enjoyed were the following: Salmon sahimi, fresh mussels which I had them baked with cheese, and their unlimited fresly brewed iced teas (addtl Php120/head).
I didnt like their roast beef carvings, bland bland bland. They didnt have any lamb.

Ongoing promo is ok for the price, but asking for the bill takes longer than the last day of school.
Service sucks now. What happened, Circles?

They have an ongoing promo that will last until Feb 4 (i think). For only P1,280/pax (from its regular price of P2,400+), you can now enjoy their lunch/dinner buffet. But you have to make a reservation days before because they are always fully booked. Crazy food selection! Love the US Prime rib, melts in the mouth! The breads are good too! Definitely worth it!

I just have to get a taste of their dessert first! As with all buffets, their panna cottas are great! Limited ice cream flavors, though. Sushi, sashimi and steak are superb. They just don't offer discounts for certain credit cards on specific days unlike in Spectrum.

This is a buffet resto inside makati shangri-la, more on the upscale considering that it's a bit pricey. There are several cuisine stations. My favorites are the carving and roastings, given the steak and crispy liempo and lamb and the dessert! Their desserts overpowers the other food i must say! I have a sweet tooth and a keen taste in pastries and everything is good! (not a fan of their chocolate cream puff though, chewy na e)

Another buffet at Circles - dinner this time. It was great that we were one of the first ones there so it was quite peaceful compared to my first experience - weekend lunch.
Circles has less variety of food compared to Sofitel, but that's fine since Sofitel's obviously much more expensive.
Desserts are my favorite here! I also love putting ice cream in my complimentary cup of coffee.
'Til next time!

Their buffet lunch has always been a comfort to me.
Had the ff yesterday:
1. Japanese - salmon, maki, sashimi, veggie tempura
They're always fresh and refilled instantly so you can never miss a thing.
2. Salad bar
Always complete, from the sauces to the ingredients. I love their mini cheese station.
3. American - roast beef with buttered gravy
Nothing so different about this.
4. Italian - beef pot roast, seafood pesto pasta, homemade pizza, cannelloni
Loved the beef pot roast's tenderness and juicyness! The seafood pesto was extra good too but lacked a bit of salt and pepper. The pizza and cannelloni were more good looking, the taste wasn't that OK.
5. Chinese - buchi, siomai
The buchi was really yummy! Siomai tasted just fine.
6. Desserts bar
I loved almost everything in it! The raspberry and calamansi cakes were so yuuuuum! The tarts were good too!

How do you get rid of raw egg smell in a car?
By Ginger from Hickory, KY
Was a raw egg actually spilled inside the car, or is the car itself giving off an eggy odor?
When a catalytic converter on a car is on its way out, it'll smell like this.
