"Esattamente di fronte al Mass Gen"Recensito da un utente di Hotels.com in data 30 gen 2013
Hotel da poco rinnovato, camere spaziose e buona pulizia. Colazione non inclusa e connessione wi-fi gratuita presente in tutte le stanze, ma purtroppo lenta e irregolare.... il resto merita un buon giudizio!

"Nothing special"
I stay in a lot of hotels and this one happened to be close to my meeting.There was nothing bad about it, but offered nothing special either. I won't rush back to this particular one. I'm inclined to try something else in the are, as there are a number of other options.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"close to transit"
The hotel was close to quincy adams station (to go to boston). The 2 things that I did not like was the room configuration. sink was outside the bathroom and room was really cramped. The service was not so good either, when I called from my room to get the new wifi password, she told it to me and did not work. I called back and she was impatient over […] it.

"Great deal for the Boston area"
The hotel is very nice and very convenient. Close to the T, a mall, and highway.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Decent for the price. The MBTA is a short drive from the hotel. The staff set the AC to 54 degrees, so our room was freezing. The cleaning crew did not speak English, so communicating with any of them was impossible. The front desk staff were very helpful and had extra blankets to our room within a few minutes. We enjoyed a nice breakfast the first […] morning at the hotel, but the second morning it was very crowded. There was no seating or hot food left. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Mediocre hotel served its purpose for one night"
The room door opened directly against the bath vanity (very awkward) and the bathroom itself was tiny with a toilet that wouldn't shut off (loud noises all night long). The A/C fan was also noisy but I was too tired to ask about changing rooms. I needed to print boarding passes and they have one PC in the locked business center. At 11:00 pm I had to […] wait until somebody used up their 15 minutes of computer access time so that I could print mine. The breakfast was not great but I was able to grab a banana and some coffee to go. If I find myself needing a reasonably priced hotel near Boston next time, I may look for something different. Due to local traffic on Rt 93, the time to get to Logan was longer than expected but that is not the hotel's fault. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"A very Pleasant Place to Stay"
I enjoyed the quietness of the Holiday Inn Express in Braintree. I was there for a short visit, and the Braintree Plaza is right up the street, which I enjoyed walking around and eating there. I do recommend this hotel. However, for children it is difficult if you have youngsters who would like to swim. There is not pool. The price was right, and the […] staff is very friendly.

"Super Clean, Comfy, and a Short Drive to the Train"
This was perfect for our family of 4. Kind of pricey, but typical for the area. You WILL NOT find a better value in Braintree. The staff is very helpful with tourists. They WANT you to be comfortable and happy and safe. High standards for room cleanliness and tasty breakfast (with a "pancake machine"). Just one exit from the train--you can park your […] car in the garage, but get there early enough for a spot OR wait til 11am when spots open up. Only downfall--no pool for the kids.

"near stores, restaurants and main roads"
the note book that holds the hotel program had a sticky substance on the back which caused it to adhere to the holder. I tried 3 times to have the maid clean it but it was sticky when I left.

"close to downtown Boston"
The staff was really great. The location off the main road was a little too industrial. While the room was fine & seemed more updated, the corridors smelled like 1970s smoke. Very unpleasant.

"Very nice stay. Would come back again."
I read numerous reviews of this hotel before my stay and I was a little apprehensive. Needless to say, I had a fantastic stay. I found the staff to be courteous, helpful, and friendly unlike many of the reviews. My room was a single double bed and fairly cramped, but had a working refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, and plenty of hot water. The location […] is super. 2.2 miles from the Quincy Adams station for the red line. 1 mile from a large mall, just off the exit on 93 into Boston. The breakfast was hot and was plenty of seating while I was there and both nights of my stay they were at maximum occupancy.

Room was nice, but the wifi was slower than dial up. A lot of the time my laptop couldn't even connect to their sign in page. It would time out.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Poor stay. We were woken up by housekeeping in the hall at 7am. We have an infant and a sick special needs so sleep is important to us. They were talking and laughing outside in the hall.

"Average - not great for Business Traveller"
As an extremely frequent bus traveller, quality of the internet connection is paramount. Thier internet connection was horrible. Also, there were hardly any free electrical outlets in the room (they do make those 6 connection power adapter/outlets that are under 5 bucks - a couple of those would have helped.)

"Terrible hotel - don't waste your money"
The Holiday Inn Express in Braintree, MA is a horrible hotel with awful customer service.. I walked into my room and immediately noticed it smelled like smoke. I was exhausted from traveling all day so just went to bed. The next morning, I went to take a shower and there was ZERO hot water. I tried every angle, turned it off and on again a few times […] and I could still only get cold water no matter what I did. Checking out, I complained to the front desk and the lady there "Natasha" was absolutely no help at all and rather rude. I told her the problems and she just wrote something down and then looked at me wondering why I was still there. No apology, no sorry, nothing. Said I wanted a refund or free nights...SOMETHING and she just told me she couldn't do that. I told her I wanted to speak with a manager and she said there was no manager there (very convenient). I did get a call from a manager 6 hours later (Cunall) and he said the hot water "worked fine". Kind of an insult to my intelligence when you think I don't know how to work a shower properly. I tried every possible way to get the shower to work and IT DIDN'T. Stay somewhere else, don't waste your money. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Convenient and clean"
The lobby and room itself were very clean. However, when I arrived, the staff was cleaning some rooms down the hall where guests had been smoking so the entire hallway reeked of cigarette smoke. Not the best greeting in my opinion but thankfully the smell subsided later when all the doors were closed. Breakfast was hot and basic and the business center […] was functional but very sparse.

This was a little difficult to find in the dark, but close to Route 93, and convenient for just the two of us.

"Great Budget Location just outside of Boston"
We stayed hear based on the Holiday Inn Express experiences we have had in the past. The free parking, wifi, and breakfast were also deciding factors when comparing to other hotels. The nightly rate was slightly more then a closer location, but when you add the savings for those three things, it worked out to be a much more affordable option. The hotel […] was clean and the staff were friendly. There is not restaurant on site, but they have takeout menus for a few delivery places. There isn't a restaurant in the immediate vicinity either. The Thai restaurant that they have a menu for is delightful though. The tropical chicken is a great dinner. The breakfast was the standard Holiday Inn Express breakfast, with processed cheese omelets( or scrambled eggs), hard boiled eggs, hashbrowns or grits, bacon (or sausage patties), cinnamon buns, and a automatic pancake machine. There is also cereal, toast and other bread products. The beds are comfortable, and the tv was a nice flat scree of a decent size. We would stay here again.

Hotel is close to the Quincy Adams Transit Station. Hotel offers Shuttle service to and from the station which is nice. The free breakfast is good also.

Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of periodic limb movements in a population-based sample of older men, and assess whether polysomnographic outcomes and clinical symptoms correlated with periodic limb movements. Prior work in elderly women reported detailed polysomnographic data, and showed that periodic limb movements were common and were associated with altered polysomnographic outcomes, but were not associated with changes in subjective sleepiness.
Study Impact: This study reports detailed polysomnographic data in a large population-based cohort of elderly men. Periodic limb movements were common. Periodic limb movements causing EEG arousals, and those not causing EEG arousals, were both associated with altered polysomnographic outcomes. Similar to previous reports, periodic limb movements were not associated with changes in subjective sleepiness.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized not only by motor symptoms but also by non-motor symptoms (NMS) such as sleep dysfunction, sleepiness, fatigue, pain, and depressive symptoms. This study evaluated the impact of sleep disorders on non-motor symptoms in patients with (PD).
Study Impact: These findings indicate a significant relationship between sleep disorders and increased NMS impairment in patients with PD. More specifically, having sleep disorders predicted increased sleep complaints, lower quality of life, increased depressive symptoms, poorer cognition, and more fatigue. The finding of increased NMS in RBD adds further support to a growing body of literature that suggests that RBD is related to increased frequency and severity of non-motor impairment and subsequent poorer quality of life.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Sleep disturbance and daytime somnolence are common complaints in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), but the main causes remain unclear. This study was done to explore associations between sleep-related complaints and potential contributors, including both motor and non-motor PD symptoms.
Study Impact: Non-motor features of PD, such as mild depressive symptoms, fatigue, and autonomic symptoms, are associated with subjective insomnia, whereas fatigue and dopaminergic medication dose are associated with subjective daytime sleepiness. In evaluation of PD patients who complain of insomnia or sleepiness, clinicians should explore other non-motor symptoms, in particular, as possible causes or co-morbidities.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: The first night effects on sleep parameters and the frequency of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) were assessed based on two-night polysomnographic recordings in sleep bruxism (SB) patients.
Study Impact: Overall, no first night effects were found for sleep variables and RMMA frequency. However, since RMMA frequency might be underestimated in some patients for the first night, low frequency of RMMA can be confirmed by a second night based on the patient's medical and dental history in clinical practice.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Parental reports on their children's sleep may not be accurate. The purpose was to assess the accuracy of parental sleep reports in preschool children and to examine to what extent this accuracy is related to the presence of a clinical sleep-related issue (nighttime fears).
Study Impact: There are general discrepancies between parental reports and objective sleep measures. These discrepancies may be affected by the presence of a clinical sleep related disorder. These results emphasize the need for clinicians and researchers to use complimentary sleep assessment tools.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Parenting behaviors are theorized to influence child sleep patterns, but validated instruments are lacking. The current study aimed to develop and test a brief measure for assessing sleep-related parenting behaviors and interactions among preschool-aged children, The Parent-Child Sleep Interactions Scale (PSIS).
Study Impact: The PSIS demonstrated good internal consistency and showed strong associations with independent measures of child sleep and behavior problems. The PSIS shows promise as a brief and valid measure of sleep-related parenting practices and interactions among preschool-aged children.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Due to health care reform, this study was conducted to obtain an inexpensive objective measure to predict moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Study Impact: This study shows acoustic pharyngometry is an effective measure to efficiently triage patients at risk of OSA.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: This work was designed to explore the possible relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and alterations of the left ventricular mass (LVM) in patients with morbid obesity. The influence of gender, menopausal status, body composition, and cardiovascular risk factors were also taken into consideration. The results show a high prevalence of sleep apnea and LVM alterations in this population, especially for men and PostM women. Interestingly, the apnea-hypopnea index related to LVM independently of age, gender, menopausal status, and other cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension. These results support a direct effect of OSA on LVM, and suggest that LVM should be assessed in all patients with morbid obesity and OSA, particularly men and postmenopausal women.
Study Impact: Morbid obesity is frequently associated to left ventricular mass alterations and obstructive sleep apnea. In this study we aimed to assess a possible direct relation between both cardiovascular risk factors and the influence played by complications such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes, often associated with obesity.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Although older veterans are at high risk for both occult sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and insomnia, the prevalence of occult SDB among older veterans with insomnia has not been reported. Furthermore, the strength of association between classic SDB symptoms and occult SDB has not been examined in older veterans with insomnia.
Study Impact: We found that nearly half of participants had occult SDB, and although the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness was associated with occult SDB, snoring frequency, snoring loudness, and witnessed breathing pauses were not associated with occult SDB. Researchers and clinicians should account for the high prevalence of occult SDB among older veterans when planning research studies and initiating therapies for insomnia.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Although sensory dysfunction in the upper airway has been documented to play a role in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea, there are limited data on a clinical significance of pharyngeal sensory tests. In this study, the relationship between clinical parameters and standardized palatal sensory threshold was investigated.
Study Impact: This study showed that standardized palatal sensory threshold was reflective of both nocturnal hypoxemia and multiplicity of upper airway obstruction sites. The standardized palatal sensory threshold may be a marker for the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: CPAP initiation has been associated with the emergence of central apneas. This study aims to determine the relationship, if any, between CPAP mask leak and central apneas.
Study Impact: The amount of leak during CPAP titration is associated with the emergence of central apneas. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Despite widespread but often disparate recommendations to refrain from caffeine intake close to bedtime, no studies have investigated the effects of a given dose of caffeine taken at different times before sleep. Understanding the temporal effects of caffeine on sleep are important given the increased utilization of caffeine, and need for empirical data to support specific sleep hygiene recommendations regarding caffeine.
Study Impact: This study demonstrates caffeine consumption even 6 hours before bedtime can have important disruptive effects on both objective and subjective measure of sleep. These findings provide empirical support for sleep hygiene recommendations to refrain from substantial caffeine use for a minimum of 6 hours prior to bedtime.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Although polysomnography is a common medical procedure performed in various settings across the United States, there is very little known about the breadth of patient safety issues encountered during polysomnography. This study sought to catalogue the variety of patient safety incidents encountered during over 36,000 consecutive attended polysomnography tests at a single integrated academic medical center.
Study Impact: We found that patient safety incident occurred in 1 of every 623 polysomnograms, and that chest pain, falls, and acute neurological events were the most common. These findings suggest that future emphasis on improving patient safety be oriented towards fall reduction, ensuring access to timely evaluation of acute medical problems, and thorough medical evaluation prior to PSG.

I have a ArduPilot Mega 1 (red, with oilpan "shield") that after the latest firmware update (Arducopter 2.6) doesn't seem to communicate via Mavlink anymore.
Symptoms so far:
- Firmware upload works.
- Console mode in MP works fine. Passes all tests.
- Other modes than Console in MP does not work over USB.
- Nothing works over xbee.
- MinimOSD says waiting for mavlink data.
- It still fly's !
- EEPROM reset and factory reset using Console doesn't help.
- ArduPlane 2.4 has the same symptoms.
- Current version or older version of MP has the same behavior.
I have to admit, the last flight before the firmware upgrade was a heavy crash, so pretty much my question is if this makes sense for a hardware issue (firmware upload possible but no mavlink ??) or is has this to be software ?
Tags: arducopter, crash, firmware, mavlink, no
Did you switch to Mission Planner w/ MAVLink 1.0? Or are you still using 0.9? Look in the title bar of Mission Planner.
HOW do you change the mavlink protocol in the Mission Planner? I cant find a switch or a download for Mavlink 1.0!

Rice Protein
Rice Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why AtherosclerosisRefer to label instructions [1 star] Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions [1 star] Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.ObesityRefer to label instructions [1 star] Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

I have used a few brands of egg protein and this is by far the worst. Taste is poor and the powder does NOT mix well. I used it with my shaker cup and most turned to a foamy substances which was not easy to drink. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

Comments about Dymatize® Nutrition Elite Egg Protein - Smooth Vanilla:
If you have ever had experience with protein before you will quickly learn this is not worth the money. When you first open up the container it has a nice aroma of vanilla but it will deceive you very quickly once you taste it. It boasts award winning taste yet it has a taste of rotten milk, egg yolk and salt that has sat in a warm oven for way too long (even when mixed with other products other than water). If you use a shaker, which many experienced weightlifters do, you will find that half of the shaker turns into foam that is hard to swallow before getting o the actual protein part. Also, no matter how long you shake, blend or mix it, there will still be clumps of the powder that have yet to dissolve. It is also a nightmare to clean. The protein manages to creep into any crevice and not even a toothbrush and hot water was able to scrub it all out. I haven't had seen any changes in size yet since i have been taking it a little over 2 weeks. but i would say this protein has many more liabilities than assets. your better off with something else.

I was very excited to open the box and see my new dishes. When I took one plate out to see the design, I notice some greasy gritty spots all over the plate. As I checked the rest of the order and I found the same dirt and grit on all the dishes. I really thought I was ordering new dishes, I had no clue I was ordering used dirty dishes. I am very disappointed with this purchase and want to return the whole set.

The website is accessible and the response code is 302
The last time we tried to visit mycaminvite.info we received a 302 HTTP status code as response.
By analyzing the HTTP status code we know that the website is online and it is probably redirecting its visitors to another location.
The web server that is hosting the website has the IP address as 188.8.131.52 and its hostname is 220.127.116.11-static.reverse.softlayer.com. This report was last updated 8 months ago.
What can I do if mycaminvite.info is unavailable or not working ?
Generally it is only a temporary problem with the web server and the downtime issue is most likely resolved in a short time. The most common action to do when a website is not working is to wait a few minutes and try again later. If the website downtime persists, it is generally made public by the webmasters in offical announcements or in social networks like Twitter or Facebook. Alternatively you can contact by email the webmasters by searching for their email addresses in search engines or in their official social networks profiles.
More details about HTTP status codes.
What can I do if the problem is in my system and not in the website ?
The first step to do is to check your internet connection, remember that a bad router configuration of your network could cause connection errors to any website you try to visit. Make sure your web browser is correctly configured and that you do not use a inactive proxy server. If you have a firewall software or any other security software, you should take in mind that certain websites can be blocked by these software. Remember also to check your Internet configuration in the operating system and, as last step, you can reboot your system. Most of the time, a system reboot can save your day.

Haydn: String Quartets Op 33
Studio Master:
2CDs for the price of 1
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Vivace assai
Movement 2: Andante
Movement 2: Scherzo: Allegro
Movement 3: Adagio
Movement 3: Scherzo: Allegro
Movement 4: Andante
Movement 4: Finale: Allegretto
Subversive comedy continues in the Scherzo, with its crazy offbeat accents and imitative entries: in a game of musical chairs, the viola ends up stranded with the opening motif. The trio restores rhythmic decorum, beginning as a lolloping cello solo before morphing into a canonic duet for first violin and viola. As in Op 33 No 5, the slow movement is usually placed second, but in Schmitts Amsterdam edition comes third. Again it is in the tonic minor key, with something of a Baroque flavour. But the texture is more varied and complex than in No 5. Above the opening theme, gravely intoned by second violin and viola, the first violins sustained high A recreates the vocal technique of messa di voce (literally placing the voice), involving a perfectly controlled gradual swelling and ebbing of the tone, and indispensable to any eighteenth-century singers armoury.
As in No 5, Haydn offsets a fast first movement with a relaxed variation finale. This is the earliest example in his quartets of his favourite double variation form, with alternating sections of major and minor. The D minor theme, initiated by the cello, is a classic instance of the free, informal counterpoint that is one of the glories of Op 33.

Fig & Olive - Melrose Place
Online Reservations
Love tho place. Came here for a date and it was spectacular as usual. Wasn't given the breakdown of different olive oils this time but everything was excellent.
The food and service were outstanding. We had their three course option for $55. The lambchops were superb needing no help from condiments. And the strawberry desert was out of site. Although a bit pricey, we would certainly do it again.
I consistently return here because I have never been disappointed. Everyone I bring here feels the same.
With so many great menu items, the toughest part was making a choice. Each dish was prepared in a unique way and was beyond delicious. Inventive, thoughtful, mouth watering preparations with mixes of colors and flavors. Also creative cocktails well worth trying. One of our best dinners this year. We will be returning soon. (Only minor negative: very noisey.
One of the most phenomenal culinary experiences I've ever had. Fantastic food combined with flawless service. Cannot recommend enough.
We had a ladies night (dinner and drinks) at Fig & Olive last Thursday night and everything was superb. Appetizers-delish, main course-awesome, dessert was painfully wonderful. I don't usually get my hopes up when I go out to eat, if I have a decent meal and good friends- its enough, but this really was great. Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and adorable. I believe his name was Kurt...I really hope I get his name right because I want him to get all the credit he deserves. Other servers and men in suits would stop by and check on us as well. They really do a great job of making you feel as though you are important and that your business is appreciated. DEFINITELY coming back again very soon.
Has alot of old favorites and some new dishes , ala scallops which are fantastic. This restaurant never disappoints. Great food , great service . Staff makes excellent recommendations.
I have been coming here for a bout 3 or 4 years now. The food quality has gotten much better and the ambiance is very good, however, the prices are outrageous. $22 cucumber martini and average of $40 per plate!!! They need to take it easy with the prices!!
We have been to Fig and Olive for dinner, but never for brunch. We really enjoyed the brunch. They have a pre fix menu option which offers a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert. I had the lobster bisque, crab cake Benedict and chocolate mousse. They were delicious and a good value. The service is very good as well, and they are very accommodating if you want to make minor modifications to your meal. Definitely worth trying.
I found Fig and Olive to be very good, Food was ousanding and service was very good and attentive.. Our servier knew how to ber a serrverr! He was attentive, personable and professional. This is a very enjohable restautrant to go to.
Took a business colleague. Split the tuna appetizer and the lobster salad. Perfect with a good glass of wine. Knowledgeable wait staff. Professional service. Highly recommended.
Very trendy scene as expected on Melrose Place. Often at trendy restaurants the service can be sub-par but in this case it was outstanding and the host was extremely friendly and accommodating when we showed up with one additional person to our party. It's definitely a hot spot.
I came here with my dad on a sat night. The staff was very nice. The decor is very simple & chic. It is a very hip trendy place in West Hollywood. But everyone should expect that coming into any restaurant in Weho. The food is a mixture of French, Spanish & Italian which is interesting. It is on the pricey side but worth it to come for a special occasion. My dad and I really enjoyed everything except for the noise level. It was still hard to hear each other talk. They keep the music loud & there's a ton of people there too. That's the only issue I had. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for the food.
The simplest food ingredients made with such creativity and taste, that I cannot get over how good it is! Please don't close or change your name or move far. Stay the way you are!
i've been to fig + olive a few times now and every time has been a great experience. our office took our boss here for her birthday lunch and it was great. it wasn't too busy, our waitress was super nice, and when a last minute diner joined our party and we had to switch tables, the restaurant was really accommodating and gave us a great seat. thanks for a great experience!
The food was amazing at Fig & Olive, I enjoyed this restaurant. The tables for two were a bit too small to accommodate us comfortably but otherwise the decor, ambiance, music were all great.
Must haves. Scallop app, mushroom crostini, croquettes, chocolate soufflé was to die for Been there before. Always great.
Food and ambience were exceptional. Keep an eye on your valuables left in your car with valet, as I had a small bit of cash stolen from the armrest as well as my sunglasses compartment raided
Often times I'll go to a restaurant and have a great meal, but follow up visits just never quite live up. I am happy to say that Fig & Olive has been the exception. Everything on the menu is fabulous, unique and savory. The service is the perfect mix of attentive without being intrusive. The menu isn't horribly expensive, but it isn't cheap either. They seem to have created the perfect balance in every aspect.
I brought my friend from Toronto to Fig & Olive. She thought it was a beautifully decorated restaurant. We both thought the food was delicious, especially the crostini (goat cheese and caramalized onion and a mushroom and artichoke one) and the mushroom croquettes. The restaurant was late getting us a table so we had to spend half an hour in the bar area, but we were given complimentary wine and strawberry cocktails which was very classy.
This is my fourth time at Fig&Olive and it never disappoints! First of all, it's beautiful - rosemary plants everywhere. The bar is comfortable with a great vibe, and around sundown the lights dim which gives the restaurant a romantic, intimate feeling. The lobster bisque is so good you will want to take a piece of bread to get all that's left in the bowl!! I had the lamb chops which were excellent - the rest of my table had the risotto with shrimp and the chilean sea bass, and dinner ended with the chocolate souffle. We all left fat and happy and will definitely go back.
Out of town with girl friends celebrating our 200th birthdays together! The waitstaff took great care of us when we told home we were each celebrating our 50 th birthdays. He took special attention to one of our dietary needs being gluten and dairy free. And when we all ordered desert...on his own he put a candle in each dessert! Such a special touch! Thank you Jason for making our night super special!!
The restaurant was beautiful. Our waiter was great, really funny and dealt with our loud, rambunctious group well. When we first got there they couldn't find our reservation and it turned out they gave our table to another party. But it was quickly resolved and they gave us an even better table. Would definitely recommend.
EVERYTHING we ate was absolutely delicious - cheese plate, mixed olives, cocktails, truffle croquettes, lobster risotto, filet mignon, and creme brulee cheesecake. Amazing food.
Every dish included complex flavors, so delicious. Try the sweet pumpkin martini, a taste treat with a sweet & savory graham cracker mixture around the rim of the glass. Excellent service...really first class! Pricey but the prix fixe menu is well worth it for a special occasion.
Everything was perfect. We went for our anniversary and made note of that on our reservation. We were given a free round of drinks to celebrate. The service was great from the greeting at the door to our server to each person that came by our table to make sure we were happy. The food was so good, we didn't have one thing we would change at all and there were so many good choices it was hard to decide what to order!
We had 7 45 reservation and we're not seated till 8: 05. We would have been more than happy to have grabbed a drink at the bar but we were left there in the lobby with everyone else who flooded in. Once we were seated the service was impeccable and the food was delicious it was a little loud but worth it. It was one of the few times where I felt you could create the pace of your dining experience.
This was our first time to the restaurant. Must say we were very impressed overall. The start was a little slow, we arrived 5-10 mts ahead of our reservation and I approached the hostess desk to see if they would be able to seat us as our entire party had arrived. She said she would look into it and get back to me. But she didn't and I had to go back after waiting for 10mts and start the process all over again. We were seated and the wonderful meal began. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful and the rest of the wait staff were extremely attentive. The lamb chops and Truffle risotto definitely require a special mention! We never felt rushed and all in all definitely a meal to remember for a long time to come.
Service personnel were also right there and not obtrusive. From the crostini to the dessert the food was exceptional. The entire sea bass plate was very attractive and excellent. The fish was perfectly prepared and the vegetables were not overcooked. My first course was the lobster bisque with extra lobster meat. It was superb. My wife had the lamb chops and enjoyed them. The portions were just right. All in all, I would give Fig and Olive a very high rating.
The decor was tasteful and contemporary. The ambience of the place is really comfortable and relaxing -- not too stuffy and not too casual. The clientele was diverse, from young to older. All of the service was outstanding -- our waitress was open, friendly and helpful about the menu. The food was excellent from the crostini to dessert. She brought olive oil tastings with bread, and that was fun. I had the Chilean sea bass and it was melt-in-your mouth delicious. Everyone at our table loved their meal and we would definitely go back to Fig and Olive again to try more dishes. Highly recommended!
While still eating I received an urgent phone call. As I was on the phone one of the staff came and was trying to talk to me as I was on the phone, he then started to take my plate and i have him a hand signal to wait. He still went ahead and took my plate when I wasnt finished. I was upset at this as it was clear that I was preoccupied why did the staff need to remove plates soo quickly on a night when the restaurant was quiet it was as though they were pushing us out of there.
A beautiful setting for a great dining experience. The menu is diverse and delectable. The food delicious, fresh and presented with panache
The excellent food was equally matched by their great service. The layout was very attractive. Definitely reserved for more special occasions, this restaurant will no doubt become a WeHo staple for fine dinning that is still affordable for what you get
We had such a fantastic time at Fig& Olive. The food was superb, Service Excellent and the Ambience outstanding! I strongly recommend this restaurant for any of your dinning pleasures.
8:00 resy and didn't get seated until 8:30 and didn't see a waiter until 9:45. They tried to make amends with a glass of champagne and delicious crostinis. I came forewarned that Fig and Olive doesn't put a priority on honoring reservations so was somewhat prepared for the wait and this was my experience on two prior dinners there. The food however was delicious.
This was our first time at this restaurant and will not be our last. All the food, from the appetizer to the dessert, was perfect and prepared exactly how we like it. The service was wonderful as well. Very attentive but not over the top. The chocolate soufflé was great considering it only takes them 5 minutes to prepare it so you are not having to order it at the beginning of the meal.
Wonderful food and attentive wait staff. The olive oil tasting was a great added bonus and the rosemary bread to accompany it is wonderful - ask for seconds!
This was my third time to Fig & Olive and it did not disappoint. They bring you a plate with focaccia and a tasting of three olive oils. Oh my! This selection changes every few weeks. The crostini are amazing. Personally, I like the shrimp as well as the mushroom best. The scallop appetizer is large enough for a meal and is well crafted. My favorite meal is the sea bass. Another favorite is the lamb chops. They come with a glass done and when the server pulls it off, a wonderful aroma and plume of rosemary escapes. The strawberry crostata is worth the price of admission.
we were a party of five..service was great and food delicious; we were there for dinner but it would be a lovely place for lunch or brunch too.
Very LA, from the menu to the ambience and the servers. Always very good, except our entrees arrived a bit cold this time.
4 of us, all age 60+, ventured here at 7:00 on a Saturday night..and had a wonderful time. From the warm greeting at the desk, to the perfect table on the back patio ( requested and honored) terrific waiter and delicious food- especially both the whole Bronzino and the branzino w/ figs. The crostini need improving, but overall a winner. The restaurant is so much more elegant and beautiful than their space on Lexington in NYC.
Loved fig and olive and would recommend the restaurant highly!
we love to go for a fun dinner. great food and people. it was a pleasant surprise to se how pretty the restaurant is during the day. as always the food and service is great.
Loved this place. enjoyed the small plates and the yummy flavors of the different foods. The ambience is great the music wonderful.....The only draw back to this cool hip restaurant is the lighting!!! Its too dim and you cant read the menu...... They need to turn it up a notch or come up with some great idea for each table to have menu lighting that you can turn on to read the menu and then turn off. Have a light on the bottom of the candles that you can hover over the menu to choice. then when you set it back down....you cant see the lighting. Let me know when that's done and I will be back...otherwise I guess I will have to stick to daylight hours.
The food is amazing. I have been there several times and have never had a single dish that wasn't delicious.
Our first time at Fig and Olive and we will definitely return. Lovely setting, interesting menu, and every dish we ordered was perfect. The service was both professional and friendly.
Fig and Olive is always amazing but this time it was especially good. We went there to celebrate my dad's 65th birthday and were lucky to be seated in Christian's section. He was the best waiter I've ever had--so friendly and helpful. Definitely ask to be seated in his section.
The food was delicious. And our waiter was extremely kind and helpful.
Fig and Olive is a very pretty restaurant. The food is very good, the service nice and overall it is a lovely restaurant.
Would definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner vs. brunch. The daytime is ok if you want to take your grandparents to brunch but the evening ambience was almost magical. Bring a close friend or significant other and either way you'll have a wonderful experience. The lighting makes the establishment's inside sophisticated and romantic yet still cozy, warm, and welcoming. The dinner menu was so much more enticing with a wider selection of adventurous cuisine. The staff is extremely attentive and you'll never have to search for someone to help you or answer your questions. Food was incredibly beautiful, unique, AND delicious. Oh btw, get the lamb chops!!!

iOS 7 preview: Activation lock aims to keep out the crooks
Find my iPhone - also referred to as Find my iPod or Find my iPad on those devices - has always been a great way to help you find your phone or tablet under a sofa, in another room, or even at a restaurant, coffee shop, theater, or similar public place. It's been great for lost devices. Stolen devices, not so much. Now, with iOS 7, Apple is addressing theft with what they hope is a powerful new deterrent - activation lock. With Talk Mobile 2013 security week underway, lets see how it stands up...
Here's what Apple has to say about Find my iPhone for iOS 7 in general:
Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that's not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who's not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your iPhone is still your iPhone. No matter where it is.
And here's what Apple's show off so far:
- Find my Friends will, following the launch of iOS 7, sport a newly redesigned iOS 7-style interface. ('Natch.)
- There's a Lost Mode which track down your iOS device and shows its approximate location on a map, much as it always had. There are also handy buttons to enter Lost Mode, and well as to play a sound and to remotely wipe the device.
- If a thief wants to try and disable Find my iPhone, or wipe the phone to disable tracking, activation lock will force them to enter your Apple ID and password first, and if not entered, prevent any software tampering with the tracking.
- If you remotely wipe a device, you can re-activate it using activation lock and your Apple ID and password as well.
iPhones and iPads are valuable targets for criminals and activation lock looks like a good way to make the devices less attractive. While it probably won't do much to slow down crooks who want to grab iPhones and iPads for parts, anyone hoping to resell a functional device now has to worry about circumventing activation lock as well.
Activation lock has already been put through its paces by the San Francisco District Attorney which is promising, though we'll have to wait and see how it performs, long term, before we have any idea how successful it in the real world.
Still, doing something is far better than doing nothing. Kudos to Apple for trying to make iOS devices higher hanging fruit.
Activation lock ships as part of iOS 7 this fall. The updated Find my Friends app will presumably be released at the same time as well.
There are 16 comments. Add yours.
Has anyone tried restoring a phone in iTunes after its been locked/wiped etc. Does this update prevent thieves using iTunes also to get a stolen phone up and running again?
Yes. If you restore an iPhone now using iOS 7 it is required to enter your Apple ID and password to restore.
I have had to restore/ wipe my nieces iPod touch numerous times because she locks herself out by forgetting her pass lock. As long as this doesn't affect that situation then it sounds like a great idea.
I would upgrade to iOS7 just to get this feature alone. I wonder however, if it's worth upgrading on my iPhone 4S when it will come on the next iPhone, and that's definitely one reason to stay with the platform?
This feature makes me feel better. At least if my phone is stolen it is one more way to have a chance at a last laugh.
How is this going to work in corporate environments where the company owns the device? We encourage all our corporate iPhone users to setup Find my iPhone, but we sometimes get their devices back when they upgrade (if they're still usable) or when an employee gets let go. So are businesses now stuck with unusable devices in these situations??
If it's company owned then the company should also own the AppleID that goes with the phone.
Except that would mean that our users couldn't purchase their own apps (or else they'd lose them if they were let go) and we would have to create Apple ID's for each user (or else they'd all end up with each others' data and we'd run into the max device limit) and maintain the passwords and hope that they didn't go and change them.... Not exactly practical.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone releases a workaround within a week of the iOS7 release (being pessimistic).
What happens when someone forces a new firmware. So if they manually force iOS 6 in the device an then upgrade back to iOS 7? Or if they jailbreak the device?
How about putting the device into DFU mode and restoring the OS via iTunes?

So, with the [over] thinking of Hardrock, I've looked over the entrants' list and plucked out the folks whom I feel have potential. See, with Hardrock, you can't extrapolate other race results and lay them over this race with any sort of accuracy. Speed alone doesn't get it done. Great climbing alone doesn't do it. Toughness alone, nope. It takes a special talent and drive to be successful here. With that in mind, here are some of the folks I've picked and believe could have a good run (Karl's odds are the final say, in my opinion, so watch for those to be up at his site soon www.karlmeltzer.com):
Julien Chorier (Frenchman pointed out to me by Karl who says he's Kilian Journet "esque" [sic]. His site's title is "The Heart of the Trail" Can't argue with that.)
Dakota Jones (fast and has been training in Silverton)
Joe Grant (on a roll with wins this year in mountainous races and should be top 5)
Matt Hart (fast, hungry, and has been training in Silverton)
Hardrock has superior live race coverage on their site, so you'll be able to follow along from the comfort of home!

It is true that paintings, drawings, …
