Culture Wars
Culture Wars lies in a gray area between gaming and education and takes advantage of games' unique capability of demonstrating complex, working systems with dozens of interlocking parts. While playing Bacterium, the player can witness and influence the evolutionary process and interact with the mechanisms of genetic drift and natural selection. It plays like a strategy game, but the player comes out of the experience with a much more intuitive understanding of how the evolutionary process fits together.
Culture Wars was created by Stoz Studios, LLC and released through Butterscotch Shenanigans, LLC.

Greater Calculator
Since this calculator is pretty standard, we've included a history to make complex calculations easier. A tap of the "=" sign will store the answer in the scrollable history, and tapping a history value will pop it right back into the display.
A few more notes: Double-tapping the "clear" button will clear the entire input value. Answers will always clear with one tap. Values will be shown with up to 15 sigfigs, and must be less than 10^16. Numbers smaller than 10^-15 will appear as zero. More sigfigs might be stored than are shown, so don't be surprised if your tiny fractional values behave a little unexpectedly.

West Bengal Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival)
When it comes to Rath (or Ratha) Yatra (Chariot Festival) the first thing that comes into mind is Puri, Orissa (Odissa). The towering raths (chariots) of Puri have almost become synonymous wit Ratha Yatra. But West Bengal, the neighbouring state of Orissa, also houses several Rath Yatra festivals, complete with towering raths. Some of this rath yatras dates back a couple of centuries and attracts devotees from far and wide.
Mahesh Rath Yatra
Srerampur, Hooghly
The most well known of the West Bengal Rath Yatra, the Mahesh Rath Yatra dates back to the 14th century AD. Started by Dhurbananda Bhramachari in 1300 AD the rath yatra operates to this day.
The present Rath was donated by Krishnaram Basu and was constructed by Martin Burn Co. The iron rath, with nine pinnacles, towers to a height of 50 feet and weighs 125 tons. Running on 12 wheels of diameter 4 feet the rath was made at a cost of Rs 20,000 and have been in operation since 1885.
Today this gigantic rath is pulled in a wild rampage, through crowded Grand Trunk (GT) Road under strict police supervision. Read more…
Approach: Train to Srerampur and auto to Mahesh or take the GT Road to Mahesh.
Time: Mahesh Rath Yatra starts at about 3 pm.
Guptiprar Rath Yatra
Guptipara, Hooghly
Although Guptipara has the distinction of housing Bengal's first Durga Pujo but Durga Pujo is not Guptipara's primary festival. When it comes to festival in Guptipara the first thing that comes into mind is Guptipara's towering and colorful chariot. Being a Vaishnav centre Rath Jaytra (Chariot Festival) is major festival and prime attraction.
The gigantic nine pinnacled rath is decorated with coloured festoons and banners and is fitted with wooden horses and several wooden statues. The multi wheeled rath is pulled by four thick ropes, out which one is reserved for women. A rope at the back serves as a brake. The rath is pulled through muddy & slushy ground in a wild rampage and it seems a miracle that the event goes on without a stampede. The event is heavily monitored by the police who clear the crowed to make way for the rath. Read more…
Approach: Take train to Guptipara (Howrah – Katwa line). Rickshaw to temple.
Time: The Guptipara Rath Yatra takes place in two phases. The first starts at about 10 am and second at 3 pm.
Mahishadal Rath Yatra
Mahishadal, East Midinapur
Although lesser known than its counter part of Mahesh & Guptipara Mahishadal, in East Midnapur, has the distinction of having the tallest wooden Rath in the world. The 70 feet (aprox.) high rath is 13 pinnacled and is richly decorated with colourfull wooden horses and statues. Started by Rani Janaki Devi in 1776 the chariot has undergone several changes but its main structure have remained the same for the last 236 years.
Gun shots announces the start of the rath yatra and the shots continue through out the entire course of the journey. The local raja (king) Haraprasad Garg accompanies the rath in a palki (palanquin). The rath is pulled by 4 thick ropes out of which one is reserved for women. The rath is pulled through muddy & slushy ground in a wild rampage and it seems a miracle that the event goes on without a stampede. Read more…
Approach: Bus to Nurpur. Cross ferry to Geokhali. Bus to Mahishadal. For the return journey it is best to take the Haldia local from Satish Samanta Halt (6:01 pm)
Time: Mahishadal Rath Yatra starts at 3 pm.
Rajbalhat Rath Yatra
Jangipara, Hooghly
Although not considered as one of the leading Rath Yatras of West Bengal Rajbalhat features a unique rath yatra. Rajbalhat, famous for textile, has a unique rath yatra. The rath does not carry the idols of Jagannath, Balaram & Subhadra but instead carries the idols of Radha – Krishna. Also the rath is not pulled by ropes but by iron chains.
The nine pinnacled rath once had brass pinnacles but sadly they have been stolen and are replaced by cheaper metal. The towering colourfull rath runs on 12 gigantic metal wheels and the rath is pulled in a wild rampage through the slushy ground in front of the Rajbalhat High School.
The distance covered has largely been reduced after an accident in 2011, when one of the devote was crushed to death under the wheels of the rath. Read more …
Approach: Tarakeshwar Local to Haripal. Bus / trekker to Rajbalhat.
Time: The Rath Yatra starts at about 5:30 pm.
Note: The blog entry West Bengal Rath Yatra, presently consisting of entries on Mahesh, Guptipara, Mahishadal and Rajbalhat is a compilation of Rath Yatras of West Bengal. It would be updated from time to time.
Mahesh Rath Yatra
When it comes to Rathayartra the first name that comes to mind is Puri. But closer home Mahesh, near Srerampore in Hooghly district, hosts a magnificent Rathyayatra festival complete with a towering rath.
Legend has it that in the 14th century Dhurbananda Bramhachari, a Bengali sage went to Puri for a pilgrimage, with the desire to offer Bhog to Lord Jagannath. Sadly the temple authorities at Puri prevented him from doing so. Dejected Dhurabnanda decided to fast till death. On the third day of his fast he heard Lord Jagannath's voice, advising him to head back to Bengal, to a place called Mahesh on the banks of Hooghly. The lord also advised him that at Mahesh he will find a huge neem trunk, which he will use to make the idols of Jagannath, Balaram and Subhadra.
Dhurabnanda retraced his steps back to Bengal and on a scary night the long sort after neem trunk arrived. Dhurabananda carried out the lords order and established the temple at Mahesh. Today the temple has been replaced by a new structure but the Rathayatra dating back to 1397 operates to this day.
Like the temple the Rath has been replaced several times. The present Rath was donated by Krishnaram Basu and was constructed by Martin Burn Co. The iron rath, with nine pinnacles, towers to a height of 50 feet and weighs 125 tons. Running on 12 wheels of diameter 4 feet the rath was made at a cost of Rs 20,000 and have been in operation since 1885.
The four storied Rath is fitted with two wooden horses and a chariot driver. Apart from that the first stage contains wooden figures of Chaitanyalila, second and third stage contains Krishnalila and Ramlila respectively. The top stage houses the gigantic wooden idol of Jagannath.
Today this gigantic rath is pulled in a wild rampage, through crowded streets under strict police supervision. The eight day period between rath a ulto – rath is marked by a mela (fair), complete with mary go rounds and circus shows. Makeshift stalls selling household items and artifacts. Last but not least are the food stalls selling papad bhaja and hot jilibis. But the age old melas are also going through the mode of evolution with chowmeins and egg rolls being the most sort after food items and stunt bike rides are the new source of entertainment.
A Year of Blogging ~ My Blog's First Birthday
I still remember the wet morning of 17th June 2011 my friend, colleague and fellow photo enthusiast Akash Mondal introduced me to the world of Blogging. Although I have been writing travelogues for more than a decade and maintained a personal website, I have never been much of a computer friendly person. Strangely I soon got the hang of Blogging and started posting articles regularly.
Soon words of inspiration and likes from friend followed, inspiring me to work hard on my blog. I set up an action plan of "Mid Week Update" updating an article every Wednesday. In a short span of time likes and comments extended beyond my friend circle with eminent scholars and best selling authors commenting on my blog. Comments and likes also followed from fellow bloggers, travel & photographic enthusiasts.
I have always been know as a "Travel Writer & Photographer" due to my numerous travelogues published in the leading dailies of the country. My website tag also reads "Freelance Travel Writer & Photographer" and so does my Blog title, but blogging has given me the advantage to think beyond travel writing. Although for the first year my blog has been restricted to travelogues mainly but I am seriously considering other areas of non fiction writing.
My Blog's achievement in the first year:
- 48 post.
- 12000 + page views
- 100 + comments (including my comments)
- 20 likes
Resolutions for the second year:
- Write non travelogues, covering topics like popular science, food, social science, etc.
- Maintain my Midweek update every Wednesday
- Enjoy blogging
A special thanks to all my friends and well wishers for making my blog a grand success.
Photo Publication – IV
My photo of the train to Vizag is published in the article titled "The Greener East Side" by Malyan Pereira in the June 2012 issue of Discover India.
This photo was shot during a family vacition to Vizag – Araku in September 2007. This photo showing the Kirandul Express on the way to Araku was shot from the trin with the camera extended out of the window. It was shot with point and shoot digital camera Olympus FE310, as my SLR (Vivitar v3800s) did not pass through the window grill.
No trip to Vizag is complete without a visit to the lush green valleys of Araku Valley, along with the Bora Caves. Located North West of Vizag the beautiful valley is connected by a 150 km long rail track. An engineering marvel the rail tracks meanders through the Eastern Ghats passing through 52 tunnels and 84 bridges.
For the best views it is best to take a morning Kirandul Passenger from Vizag, a window sit on the left offers the best views. The train follows the Chenni – Howrah line till Kottavalas from where it takes a left diversion towards the Eastern Ghats.
After about two hours of journey through the lush green coastal plains merges into the even greener Eastern Ghats, marking the starting points of tunnels and bridges. The line meanders past lush green valleys, towering cliffs and thundering water falls, passing through several tunnels some couple of meters long while several others stretching over 100 meters. The longest tunnel has length of 520 meters. Just before reaching Araku the train stops at the Shimiliguda Station, located at a height of 996.32 feet it is the highest broad gauge rail station in India.
St. Mary's Church (Banglai Cathedral), Kolkata (Calcutta)
St. Mary's Church, Kolkata (Calcutta)
Banglai Cathedral
Also see my compilation of Calcutta (Kolkata) Churches
It was a winter Sunday morning Prasanta (da) Banerjee lead me inside the St. Mary's Church. The Sunday Mass was already on and a choir was being sung, strangely the language seemed Greek to me. As I settled down on the beautifully carved bench of the the St. Marys Church, I realised that the language was my very own mother tongue Bengali. But in the dimly lit environment of the Church Bengali appeared totally out of the world.
It has been a couple of months I have been in touch with my on line friend Prasnta Banerjee, a Bengali Protestant Christian, who in a very short span of time became my "beloved dada." Prasanta da personal invited me to the church not only to attend the Sunday Mass but also to photograph its interiors.
As the Mass progressed my eyes got adjusted to the dimly lit interiors of the church. The beautifully wood carved alter crowned with a intricately decorated stained glass attracted my attention. The alter was also flanked by two stained glass windows on either side, each depicting Biblical events.
My attention shifted toward the walls lined with marble memorials, to mu utter astonishment I found many of the memorials curved out in Bengali. No wonder the St. Mary's Church is popularly known as the "Bangli Cathedral."
The concept of the Bengali Cathedral dates back to July 1885, when Rev. Harihar Sandel, a pioneer missionary started worshipping in the Cathedral with a few Christian employees. It was later decided to build up a separate church for their worship. He acquired the land and mobilize fund for the construction of a church for the Bengali Protestant.
Sadly Rev. Harihar Sandel (Sanyal) died on 4 Sept. 1887 when his dream church was yet to open its doors. The St. Mary's Church (Bangali Cathedral) finally opened its door on 16 Feb. 1889, under Rev. Aghore Nath Banerjee. Rev. Aghore Nath Banerjee later became the Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral. He was the first Indian to receive this distinction.
Today the St. Mary's Church stands on the Elgin Road (Lala Lajpat Rai Sarani) opposite the Bhawanipur Education Society College.
The Mass was soon over and Prasanta Da introduced me to Rev. Sukhendu Biswas, the present Canon of St. Marys Church, who immediately gave me the permission to shoot inside the church. Armed with my camera I headed for the beautiful alter flanked with the even more beautiful stained glasses.
Soon I shifted my attention to the marble memorials, and a memorial located very next to the alter attracted my attention. Written in English and followed by Bengali it was a memorial dedicated to Rev. Harihar Sandel (Sanyal).
As I moved towards the main entrance the memorial of Rev. Aghar Nath Banerjee, but unlike Rev. Harihar Sandel (Sanyal), it was written in English only. Next to Rev. Aghore Banerjee's memorial lies a beautiful ,written in beautiful flowing Bengali font, dedicated to the father & daughter duo of Lukswarup Chandra Singh and her daughter Grace Khemankari.
Finally it was time for home. I bade good bye to Rev. Sukhendu Biswas, Prasanta da and all the other church members and returned with memories to last a life time.
Special Thanks:
Rev. Sukhendu Biswas, Prasanta (da) Banerjee and the entire community of St. Mary's Church, Kolkata.

Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman are thisclose to exchanging BFF bracelets. In November, the late-night titan interviewed the queen of daytime at Ball State University, prompting Winfrey to open up about her rough childhood and adolescence (read: abuse, abuse, and more abuse).
Now Oprah has returned the favor, conducting an in-depth interview of Letterman for an episode of Oprah's Next Chapter that aired last night. Winfrey didn't shy away from asking tough questions about Letterman's 2009 sex scandal, his struggles with depression, and even his relationship with Jay Leno — and Letterman didn't shy away from answering them. (For the record, says Letterman, Leno is the "funniest guy I've ever known," as well as the "most insecure.")

Using Computer Assisted Review to More Accurately and Quickly Locate Electronically Stored Information
page 1 of 1
Many attorneys working opposite the Department of Justice find themselves in the unenviable position of being the recipient of a "Data Dump" — having terabytes of electronically stored information ("ESI") produced by the Government. Such productions can contain literally millions of documents and emails, and the search for relevant information, exculpatory or inculpatory or otherwise, may seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. Your instincts tell you that you want "everything" and that you do not want the Government limiting the production, yet the reality of receiving "everything" may be overwhelming. There is some good news, however. Just as technology has contributed to the snowballing amount of ESI, technology can also assist in sorting through that information to locate those crucial "hot docs."
A relatively new technique for searching for relevant information is called predictive coding or computer-assisted coding. This coding system was discussed at length in a recent opinion in an employment discrimination case from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. United States Magistrate Judge Andrew J. Peck approved the use of computer-assisted coding to cull approximately three million electronic documents in Moore v. Publicis Groupe & MSL Group, No. 11-Civ.-1279, 2012 WL 607412 (S.D. NY Feb. 24, 2012). Much of the Moore opinion deals the parties' disputes about the development of an agreed-upon protocol to govern the production of ESI. In the white collar context, there may be no negotiation about protocol — the prosecutors simply determine whether production is required, based on a variety of factors including the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the ethical and professional obligations of individual federal prosecutors. Yet Moore is still instructive because it illustrates how computer-assisted coding is becoming an acceptable and reliable way to search large volumes of information. Although studies have shown that predictive coding is more accurate and cost effective compared to traditional types of review, including manual review, the legal community has been hesitant to adopt the technology. The Moore decision may help the legal community to adopt this new methodology more readily.
When a criminal defense attorney receives a large data dump, he is left to sort out the garbage from the relevant documents. Without the resources to review each document, the criminal defense attorney may elect to run keyword searches in an effort to identify the relevant information. Unfortunately, keyword searches can leave out close to 80 percent of information relevant to the case. The Sedona Conference Best Practices Commentary on the Use of Search and Information Retrieval Methods in E-Discovery, at 206, August 2007. While lawyers believe that keyword searches are capturing 75 to 80 percent of relevant evidence, relevant studies demonstrate otherwise. Id.
In his opinion, Judge Peck cited case studies showing that keyword searches are largely ineffective. When using keywords, lawyers have to guess at what words might be contained in the relevant information, resulting in a search protocol similar to a child's game of "Go Fish." Moore, 2012 WL 607412 at *10. Moreover, searching for keywords often leads to over-inclusive results and can be thwarted by abbreviations and misspellings. Id. Judge Peck also rejected the notion that the best option is to have an attorney review each document, noting "while some lawyers still consider manual review to be the 'gold standard,' that is a myth, as statistics clearly show that computerized searches are at least as accurate, if not more so, than manual review." Id. at *9. Writing with an obvious passion for the subject matter and command of the data, Judge Peck concluded that computer-assisted coding appears to be "better than the available alternatives." Id. at *11.
Edward Page
Explaining how the predictive coding technology works, Judge Peck stated that predictive coding uses "sophisticated algorithms to enable the computer to determine relevance, based on interaction with (i.e. training) by a human reviewer." Moore, 2012 WL 607412 at *2. While manual review is typically performed by junior staff members, predictive coding involves an expert on the case — typically a senior partner — reviewing and coding a "seed set" of documents. Id. Based on the expert's choices, the computer identifies the properties of the documents and uses those properties to code other documents. Id. The computer also codes some documents and asks the senior reviewer for feedback. Id. Compared to manual review which involves putting eyeballs on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of documents at a cost of several dollars per page, predictive coding will typically require reviewing only a few thousand documents from the corpus. The overall cost of the review is substantially reduced to a few cents per page.
Rebecca Shwayri
Judge Peck notes that sampling and quality control tests are an important part of the application of the predictive coding technology. Moore, 2012 WL 607412 at *2-3. Predictive coding is not a license to simply have the computer review all of your documents. The technology involves an interaction of man and machine. In order to ensure that the technology is capturing the relevant documents based on the expert's coding of the initial seed set, it is important for counsel to review a randomly selected, statistically significant portion of the overall corpus of the documents. This may mean reviewing as little as a few hundred documents for a large data set. If the review of the random sample demonstrates that the technology found the relevant documents in that set or that there were no relevant documents in that set, then counsel can rest assured based on the application of statistical methodologies that the technology has captured the relevant documents within the corpus.
Catherine Salinas
Predictive coding technology is thus a partnership of humans and technology. Math and algorithm formulas are used to find words linked to primary terms, and the computer searches for relationships between words and synonyms and is able to search for concepts, rather than just words. While computer-assisted coding is not inexpensive, the price pales in comparison to manual review and keyword searches. Furthermore, the results are better than keyword searches and manual review. Properly designed predictive coding protocols can retrieve up to 90 percent of all relevant electronically stored information in a case. This technology has the potential of extracting relevant documents quickly from huge document productions, allowing for an assessment of costs, liability, and potential for plea negotiations at an earlier stage than might otherwise occur. Thus, as Judge Peck noted, computer-assisted review is an available tool and should be seriously considered for use in large-data-volume cases.

Croatia's Ivo Karlovic returns the ball to Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych during their match in Qatar's ExxonMobil Open in Doha yesterday. Karlovic beat Berdych 7-6 (9/7), 7-6 (7-4).
DOHA: Tall Croatian Ivo Karlovic yesterday upset fourth seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic on the opening day of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.
Karlovic, making use of his 2.08m frame, ousted Berdych 7-6 (7-6), 7-6 (7-4) at the Khalifa Tennis Complex where two-time Doha finalist Gael Monfils of France overcame a slight stutter in the first set to beat Santiago Giraldo of Columbia.
Karlovic, 34, fired an astonishing 24 aces in his straight-set upset of Berdych. The match lasted 1 hour 46 minutes.
Earlier, Monfils, 27, won 7-6, 6-2 to reach the second round at Khalifa Tennis Complex after spending just 77 minutes on the centre court.
Also yesterday, eighth seed Fernando Verdasco of Spain beat Filippo Volandri of Italy. A former world number seven, Verdasco won 6-3, 6-3 in 67 minutes.
Lukasz Kubot of Poland also reached the second round with a straight-set win over Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain. Kubot won 6-4, 6-3 in 79 minutes.
It was Kubot's fourth win over Daniel in six meetings on the ATP Tour.
In what would have been a pleasing outing on a cool evening yesterday, Britain's Andy Murray paired up with Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia to beat German duo of Daniel Brands and Florian Mayer.
Murray/Zimonjic won 3-6, 7-6, 10-8 to advance to the next round of the doubles draw.
Today, world number one Rafael Nadal of Spain will play his first official match of the new season when he takes on Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic.
Nadal, who won 10 titles in 2013, will kick off the new season at Khalifa Tennis Complex hoping to replicate his brilliant run of form in the last season.
Also in action will be second seed and world number three David Ferrer of Spain. Ferrer will take on Alexndr Dolgopolov of Ukraine in their first match of the new season.
Wimbledon champion and world number four Andy Murray will have to negotiate the challenge of Qatari wildcard Mousa Shanan Zayed on the centre court. Murray is coming back after a three-month lay-off.
The winner in Doha picks up a handsome prize bag of $ 188,600 while the losing finalist goes home $ 99, 325 richer.

The Graham
Pub: The Graham
Where: 97 Graham St., Port Melbourne
Phone: 9676 2566
Date: 16 November 2012
Score: 15.5/20
Internet: www.thegraham.com.au
The Graham has been held in the highest regard amongst Melbourne pub diners who seek out food and drink at the higher end of the pricing scale. ( I loathe the term 'gastro' and try to avoid at all costs).
For years, I have wanted to sample simply to see, like the Court House North Melbourne and Grand Richmond, how the Graham delivers at the high end while still retaining that element of pubiness (no such word) that encourages someone to pop in and have a drink.
On the first of the two elements of the foregoing, the Graham passes in spades and its food, drink and service in the restaurant is first class.
It is the second part that intrigues me because they have a cracking public/wine bar attached to the pub that somehow seems to be a separate entity, rather than part of the front of house. (A bit like People's Republic of China and Hong Kong - on second thoughts arguable the worst comparison I have made!!!).
Ok, the Graham still champions the fact it is pub/restaurant and I am happy with that. Perroni is the tap beer and it was served in a chilled, badged slender glass. ($7.50/330ml). It was excellent and confirmed that they love their beer; I would like though to have more tap options.
You can dine from a tapas menu in the wine bar and choose from at least 20 tastes. Open later in the day, it is smart, discreet and upmarket.
But all the action is in the brilliantly white, airy restaurant and boy, can they bang out some food with smart, attentive service at a superior level.
Yes, it costs more (putting on the pub price comparative hat - another shocker from me) but putting it all together it makes for a wonderful experience and is on par with the big gastro pub hitters in town.
But as some wise person once said...'the quality remains long after the price is forgotten'.
Entrees: $20
Mains: $38
Desserts: $16
Wine: $40+ good bottles at all pricing points from monstrous, brilliant list
The conundrum about whether pub or just a restaurant arises when you look at exterior and there are no overt signs of a brand available or a Foxtel sign suggesting a Super 15 game is about to start.
But when you step inside, you know that this special.
The old style pub dining room was transformed years ago and now, replete with the napery, cutlery glassware, you know that the Graham has moved on. Indeed their dining room is reminiscent of the excellent Grand in Richmond, a former DeBortoli Pub of the Year.
Here's what I liked most - The Graham makes a rotating lunch offer of 2 courses, glass of wine for $35.
Given the quality, THIS IS A PUB BARGAIN. The package is enhanced with the continuous offer of chilled water and warm home-made bread, all brought to the table.
You start to read the menu and the eyes water - literal and figurative as the menu bedazzles but you see the prices. But before you go you know the rules, and it is a tough choice between the smoked quail breast, shitake mushroom (21.5) or truffled spanner crab with salmon (yes) crackling (21.5) as entree.
Mains read equally as impressive; pan fried dory, scallop and smoked eel fondant, white asparagus, miso nage - $38.5, lavender honey glazed duck breast, confit leg, caramelized peach thyme jus - 38.5.
Try those two at home and play fair!!
And then there's the bargain and you start to choose from the $35 set menu offer which outlines 3 entrees/mains and with a glass of Christmont riesling thrown in, that's where you head.
The wine list wins too, as an incorrect assumption is drawn that it has to be expensive. Not so. Sure you can pay for French vintage and non-vintage, but local heroes like Christmont, Bests, Skillogolee round out around $8.5 per glass.
- Pot Sticker of the day - $16. Not on the set menu but 4 of the fattest, moist, jumbo Pork dumplings, with a light soy, are the best starter. What a treat!
- The set menu - $35. Entree was pork belly, beans, shallots and roast chilli jam - Crunchy, hot, filling (although it looks small it packs a punch). Main was a rectangle of char grilled rare atlantic salmon, roasted pumpkin and hazelnut, miso broth. Again slightly smaller, but same result - fantastic.
- Bests Great Western Riesling - $45. Award winning winery, outstanding winemakers, great drop, very fairly priced.
At the end of the day, the Graham has staked its foundations in the Melbourne dining scene and will continue to deliver knockout food and drink under the present ownership.
Unashamedly, the Graham WANTS to be known as a pub doing great food and drink, rather than a restaurant that does beer and wine.
Their offer is excellent, no matter what definition/category you want to place them in.
It is a beauty.

The land beside Mud Bay Road from the bottom of the hill at 4 Mile to the private property past Letnikof Cove marina is not open for wood cutting of any kind, including personal use. Unlike other state land in the area, this land is held by the Alaska Mental Health Trust and the University of Alaska. Any cutting of trees, standing or down, must be done under permit.
This announcement is being given as several residents have recently been contacted in reference to cutting in the area and there have been questions in the past as to whether or not cutting here is permitted.
Anyone taking trees from the Mental Health Trust/University of Alaska land without a permit can be charged with theft. The severity of the charge is based on the commercial value of the tree which has been damaged or stolen, and can easily rise to the level of a felony theft for a single tree. In addition, the tree and all equipment used in the theft (logging equipment/vehicles, etc.) can be seized.
Please contact the local DNR Forestry office at 907-766-2120 for information on areas that are open for personal use wood cutting.

DNC: Rahm Emanuel Touts Obama's Auto And Health Care Success
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the winner of the 2012 presidential election will have an opportunity to shape the country for decades to come and he urged voters to give President Barack Obama a second term.
Speaking Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention, Emanuel said Obama has tackled the tough problems — from passing health care overhaul to saving the American auto industry. The mayor said Obama's opponent, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, was willing to turn his back on Detroit and believes in giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.
Emanuel said the country needs proven leadership to deal with the inevitable crises and challenges it will face.
Emanuel served as Obama's chief of staff until late 2010 when he left to run for Chicago mayor.
