Due to Amazon's third-party vendor policies we will not be able to sell our Ganjifa: Traditional Indian Playing Cards through them for the month of December.
For now, please contact us to purchase Ganjifa cards, and we will arrange payment through PayPal. Amazon sales will resume in January.
We're sorry for any purchasing difficulties this may cause, but sadly the issue is out of our control.

This month has brought a number more website changes, although with luck they should be invisible to most of you browsing the site. The most significant of these changes is a backend change, as we try to move away from the old wiki. This change should have gone into effect some time ago, however, the various search engines have been slow to index our new site pages, and so some technical solution was necessary. Hopefully now the new pages will be indexed smoothly.
The second change is progress on our new Solo RPG app, which was released to select alpha testers earlier this week. Also earlier this week, the first draft of the new site skin was completed, and hopefully everyone should see that roll out to the main site by the end of the year.
In news unrelated to the website, the Against the Dark Yogi Kickstarter is ready for launch once the holidays have passed. We've also gotten the few first chapters back from the editor, and things look good. Progress also continues on our upcoming card game.
Happy holidays!

I'm going to start off with the big achievement of the quarter: Tab Creations LLC finished production on, and shipped, its first successful product: Ganjifa: Traditional Round Indian Playing Cards. Roughly 500 decks were sent out to the backers of our Kickstarter, and almost a dozen more have been sold since the cards went up for sale on Amazon. They remain the only print run of Ganjifa cards in the West in the last sixty years.
Now, the launch of the Ganjifa cards didn't occur without issue. Several production problems were caught, and fixed, shortly before printing. Then, customs selected the cards for two extra rounds of inspection as they made their way into to the US. Finally, there were some packaging issues with the first round of cards sent out to Kickstarter backers. But in the end the cards made it out, and we're heard from many happy buyers.
A great deal of progress was also made this quarter for our next game, the tabletop role-playing game Against the Dark Yogi. Over the last few months the game went through the last iteration of its open beta test, then the beta was concluded, and development on the game finished. Since then, the game has been sent to the editor, and we've received the first few chapters back -- clean and edited. We're currently planning the Against the Dark Yogi Kickstarter for sometime early next year.
This quarter also saw our first convention presence as a company. Tab Creations ran a booth at TengaiCon, and is again running one (this weekend) at Springfield GAME. We even have pictures.
And, perhaps our first public release of this information: Work on what is likely to be our third game, a horror-themed casual card game tentatively titled We're All Going to Die Here has progressed to the point of extensive internal alpha testing. Hopefully more on this game will be forthcoming in the not-too-distant future.
Finally, this quarter saw a number of internal changes. You may notice that our blog is now focusing on the work being done by Tab Creations LLC, whereas before it was focused on our unofficial braintrust, the Tab Creations Collective. Readers may also note that our website underwent a significant revision, and many new internal features made their debut, some of which will be making their way to public visibility quite soon.
And that it for this quarter's Tab Update. Expect the next one after the New Year.

We've finally finished mailing our ganjifa cards and other rewards to the last of our Kickstarter backers, and are happy to announce that our ganjifa cards are now on sale at Amazon! So if you missed the Kickstarter, you can buy them today. (They will soon be appearing at our Tab Store as well.)
For those of you who are waiting on your Kickstarter rewards, if you're in the US then you ought to have received them by the end of next week. If you're international, then it may take a little longer. Let us know if any issues arise.

Today the Against the Dark Yogi Open Beta comes to an end, as we begin our preparation for the upcoming Against the Dark Yogi Kickstarter. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the open beta process, especially everyone who took the time to fill out a feedback survey. Look for the Kickstarter campaign to begin in early October.
We also revamped our online store today, bringing it in line with the LLC and allowing it to focus on our new and upcoming products.
Posted by Thorin (talk) 13:24, 20 September 2013 (CDT)
The Ganjifa Cards we produced as part of our first Kickstarter have arrived, and they're now shipping to the Kickstarter backers. So, if you're a backer, you should be seeing them soon. And if you missed the Kickstarter, you will soon be able to order your own Ganjifa cards through Amazon.com and possibly our online store.
This is a major milestone for us, as it marks the delivery of our first successful product since the formation of the LLC. It also clears up time and attention to focus on our next Kickstarter, Against the Dark Yogi, which we plan to launch in early October.
As a side note, this weekend we plan to close the Against the Dark Yogi Open Beta, and retire our old Tab Creations Collective products from our online store as well. So if you're looking to get in on that, you'd better do so soon.
Posted by Thorin (talk) 11:14, 3 September 2013 (CDT)
Our website and its contents have been in a state of transition for some time now, as we move its focus from the Tab Creations Collective, our gaming braintrust, to Tab Creations LLC, the new company. You will still be able to find information about the Collective in our Development Blog, but this, the TabBlog, will be reserved for company announcements.
Another page that will be changing is our online store. For now you can still find the old Collective releases there, but starting sometime around the release of our upcoming Against the Dark Yogi Kickstarter, we plan to retire the old releases and switch the store over to focus on our official company products. So if anyone's looking to order any of the old Collective releases, get them before they're gone.
Posted by Thorin (talk) 09:53, 16 August 2013 (CDT)
Last week we upgraded our website, as you can likely see from reading this. While the new website is stylistically very similar to our previous one, in terms of engineering the new website is leaps and bounds ahead of our old one.
You may also notice the navigation bar has been trimmed down. This is the first part of several to make the website better focus on our company's products and other offerings. More informal focuses will still be written about in our Development Blog.
Finally, our new website uses a new registration system. Soon our forum will be migrated over to this new registration system. When this happens, existing forum users will receive an email about how they can migrate their account to the new system.

A few days ago we released the fourth and final public beta of our mythic India-inspired fantasy game, Against the Dark Yogi. Anyone can participate in our open beta simply by clicking here to download the game, running it and providing feedback in our occasional feedback surveys.
This is the final iteration of the public beta. It is also the release candidate of the game. At this point we don't expect any significant mechanical changes. The purpose of this iteration is to get as any eyes as possible on the rules so that we can correct any remaining issues before the text goes to editing.
Remember, this is still a early version of the game, and as such the rules being presented have not yet been edited. That means there will be occasional typos or "see page XX" placeholders in the text. It is recommended that players read the open beta readme for more in-depth information on how to participate. Also remember that this is a playtest version of the game, and as such the full setting material that will be included in the final version of the game isn't yet included here.

Tab Creations continues to pick up steam, and this quarter demonstrates that magnificently.
The biggest news of the quarter is the launch, and success, of our first Kickstarter. This project was to produce a set of traditional round Indian playing cards, known as the Mughal Ganjifa. We not only met our fund-raising goal, but we went well past it, raising over $10,000. This will allow us not only to ship high-quality Ganjifa cards to all of our backers, but to make the Ganjifa cards commercially available online after the backers' copies have shipped.
On that front, we've just received the last of the Ganjifa art back from the artist and are currently putting it in the correct format for the printer. We expect to then send the art over to the printer in the next week, and have the cards sent out to backers, as promised, by September.
Meanwhile, when it comes to RPGs, the open beta of Against the Dark Yogi continues, and is nearing a close. In the past quarter we finished up Beta 1, released Beta 2 and then released Beta 3. This beta is expected to end later this month, leading into Beta 4, which will be the final public beta before release.
We also continued a string of Against the Dark Yogi art previews as well.
With the 'public beta wrapping up, and with the last of the writing on it wrapping up as well, we plan to launch it as our second Kickstarter sometime late this quarter or early next quarter. Stay tuned for more information on that in the future.
On the business front this quarter, we finalized the last of the paperwork necessary for spinning off Tab Creations LLC from the old Tab Creations Collective. The website will be changing to reflect this in the near future, although with a set of improvements and new features for the website.
The last of our first-generation Saga Machine products also saw progress. Writing is now complete on Blaugh'Ock, our upcoming supplement to Trystell: Reborn and we released another freebie for Nexus Endtime. Expect Blaugh'Ock to be released by the end of the quarter and Nexus Endtime to be released next quarter. Both of these books will be released under the old Tab Creations Collective, rather than the new LLC.
Looking to the future, we're beginning to make longer-term plans, but our work on fulfilling the Ganjifa Kickstarter and on planning for the release of Against the Dark Yogi are taking up the bulk of our efforts. This is as it should be, but next quarter we ought to have some more announcements to make regarding future Tab Creations projects. Meanwhile, those who want a glimpse into our development process can follow our Development Blog.
Until next quarter!

I would now like to present our fifth art preview for our upcoming mythic India-inspired game, Against the Dark Yogi. In this image you can see an archer and a blade-wielding warrior ready to fight off a crowd of attacking asuras. Meanwhile, in the background the mythic landscape of the world of Bhurloka is visible.
I also want to remind everyone that Against the Dark Yogi is currently in the third iteration of its public beta, which can be downloaded from this link.

I've been following the first season of Legend of the Seeker, which in turn inspired me to go buy book one of Terry Goodkind's series, "The Sword of Truth," book one being called Wizard's First Rule. Toggling between book and show, I've been noticing a few things which makes the difference between the two world's apart.
The book, of course, is vastly superior to the show from what I've read this far…and I'm only 5 chapters into it. The characters seem much more confident and lively and not as corny and…let's face it…stupid. My wife decided she would watch an episode with me to see what the show was like. Her first comment…"Richard is kind of stupid." And I agree – but that sentiment extends to all the characters for me.
In chapters 1 – 5, Richard takes up a very careful but strong approach during his initial journey with Kahlan, still remaining as cheesy as possible but giving off a more real and human sentimentality. Kahlan herself has a personality which exceeds that of Bridget Regan's interpretation of the character.
However, the actors shouldn't be faulted as they do a tremendous job for what they are given. The guilt falls more upon the script. But, as we all know, a TV show must be handled differently, in the literary sense, then the novel it's based off of.
Much of what makes the characters so interesting in the book is the connection they have to each other. The show makes gives Kahlan and Richard this "Romeo and Juliet" feel – No real time to develop their relationship properly….It all happened to quickly. Terry Goodkind gives both Kahlan and Richard the connection needed to properly develop their bond which, as I'm sure it'll happen, will give the love connect much more depth and personality.
The book has me hooked, as does the show. Both are quite campy and full of clichés. The difference…one is written well! I'll let you guess at which one that is.

Easy steps to transform a few paper plates into a ladybug clock and discover a hidden surprise! This peek-a-boo clock is a fun way for your preschooler to learn to tell time.
Watch Kai-lan weekdays @ 10:00 AM EST on Nick Jr.
For the ladybug's head, cut out a crescent shape slightly above the central circle of a 9-inch paper plate. Cut another paper plate in half for the ladybug's wings.
Have your child paint the back of the two half plates in red. After they dry, paint big black dots over the red paint.
Paint the back of the crescent shape in black. After drying, have your child draw two white circles in the center as the ladybug's eyes. Let dry, and then draw two smaller black circles within the eyes to make pupils. Set aside the painted pieces.
Cut out Kai-lan's Ladybug Clock Template. Attach Kai-lan's clock image in the center (through the front) of a new plate. If desired, paint the front of the plate before you glue on the clock image. Use the pointy tail of an unopened brad to poke through the bottoms of the hour and minute hands and the center of the plate (with the clock image in place). Open the brad fastener at the back of the plate to secure it.
Connect the ladybug shapes to the clock plate with a brad. Before you do that, arrange the pieces together to have a vision of the final product. All the painted sides of the plates and the clock image should face you--the clock plate at the bottom, the two wings forming a circle but slightly overlapped at the top, and the head (crescent shape) as the upmost layer covering the top corners of the wings. Use the pointy tail of an unopened brad to poke through the top of all the shapes in this order, and open the brad at the back of the clock plate to secure it.

The Early Years of Hayao Miyazaki Part 1 - Starting Point: 1979-1996
Hayao Miyazaki is a pioneer of film who paints his stories through the lyrical brush strokes of animation. Born in Japan in 1941, many in the West came to know him first through his film, Princess Mononoke, and later, Spirited Away, which was the first anime film to win an Academy Award. The fact that he's a cinematic genius is undisputed. His stories resonate with their naturalistic themes, his characters having a dignity and humanism that is nearly unparalleled in any medium. In a Miyazaki film, you'll empathize with the monsters just as much as the protagonists. Which was why I was thrilled to find out about Starting Point, a collection of essays and interviews by Miyazaki covering his life and work from 1979-1996. This book review will be split into three parts, each covering different aspects of the book. The first part will start with Miyazaki's descriptions of his earlier life as well as his experiences in the animation industry.
Ironically, the first time I heard about Miyazaki, it was in pursuit of another writer, Neil Gaiman. Gaiman had co-adapted Princess Mononoke for American audiences and an early screening was taking place at the Embarcadero in San Francisco. I was curious what type of film the scribe of Sandman had taken part in. Princess Mononoke was a cinematic experience that defied expectations with its probing of nature vs. technology. No pat answers were available, and the deities of the forest were just as uncannily horrifying (and sympathetic) as the soldiers who sought to exploit them. From there, viewings of the rest of his films followed including Nausicaa, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso.
Starting Point provided inspiration for the man behind the movies with all too relatable stories about the early years of the nascent animation industry in Japan. Some of the pieces are essays while others come in interview form, though the pieces seamlessly blend into one another. Miyazaki's candor throughout is refreshing and at times, surprising. As he reflects on his past, rather than waxing about a golden age, he tells it as he experienced it, complete with long hours, endless sacrifices, and low salaries:
"When we were around twenty-four or twenty-five (years of age), shortly after we started working as animators, we had no guarantees, no prospects, no money, and not even any particular talents. For us the job of being an animator actually depended on one thing and one thing only, and that was having what might be called hope or ambition. So in those days, when animators got together the only thing they ever seemed to talk about was whether they should get out of the business, or whether they might find better work somewhere else."
I found it fascinating that there were so many parallels between CG animation and the 2D animation of decades ago. The struggles and the motivations remain the same. Even the conversations seem to ring in synchronous chords. While some may say animation is still relatively young in the history of entertainment, there are many roots. Starting Point highlights many of the original seeds. Miyazaki talks about his experiences on a TV series, Heidi, to illustrate what compelled him to try to advance animation to another level:
"The reason we always pushed so hard with Heidi is that, even in a medium as commonplace as television, we wanted to provide the children watching our series something that would inspire joy, not just be cute, beautiful, or fun. We wanted to go beyond the limitations of normal television. To do this, I sometimes slept on the floor of the studio, consoling myself with the idea that when we overcame this extraordinary situation, I would be able to sleep in my own bed the next time around. Of course, when we eventually finished producing the series I realized that what had seemed an extraordinary situation wasn't unique. I realized that it would continue on and on. When one series ended, another is waiting."

Being single is the best part of my life!A well known line amongst many of the 21st century women. When you are single there are many advantages that you can enjoy from.

I'm glad that Randall was added into the collection. He is very easy to use once you get all his powers down. I expected his invisibilty skill to be like the movie where he completely vanishes but even with a sneak attack he can still be seen by the Fear Tech guys. But on that same note, You can see their guys too when they "disappear" It would have been nice if he could crawl up walls too.

The Ganeplay for Infinity is horrible. My son loves Skylanders so he saved up and purchased this game. The missions are sometimes hard to follow, with no clues, action or anything. At some points you just wander around for 10 - 15 minutes with nothing going on. In addition you can only play 1 player on the Wii in mission mode. Kind of defeats the purpose of trying to play with a friend. If you are a fan of Skylanders, save your money and wait for swap force that comes out next month.

Table 16
Online Reservations
I enjoyed an excellent meal that was full of great flavors blended perfectly. Can't wait to return.
Okay, so the prime rib dinner was FABulous! So was Graham's choice of a cabernet to complement the flavors of this satisfying meal. If you live within driving distance of Table 16, and you didn't go tonight, you are a FOOL. What a treat! Friends of ours came from Burlington and even though they don't eat red meat, they did the chef's tasting and were WOWed. Who wouldn't be?
Graham and team never disappoint. This chef's table included quail, rock fish and rib eye - all perfectly matched with surprising wines and accompaniments. Even down to the bread and olive oil, an almost perfect meal. Thanks to Katie for excellent service on a busy evening.
What a wonderful find in Greensboro. We enjoyed the Chef's tasting menu and did not regret one bite. We recommend that option to everyone. It's a way to enjoy a lot of different dishes.
Coming from Belgium I always look for the nicest restaurants in town. This was definitely a good choice. And I got to sit at TABLE 16, the table they named the restaurant after. I chose for the tasting menu and had 5 different dishes. Each one of them with its own special flavour. The portions were ideal, not to big, not to small. The wines that came with the food were chosen very well. I now understand why this restaurant is highly ranked. I had a very nice waitress, Katie, who asked whether the chef had to take into account any allergies. All in all a very good experience and when I come back to Greensboro, I will definitely stop by again at this restaurant.
Arranged to meet with a new friend here(we met her previously at a Table 16 wine dinner.) Our waitress Emma was friendly and helpful with the menu. Even though she is relatively new, she was more than happy to help us with dietary restrictions and answer our questions about the new April menu. My husband had the bone-in filet and ate every bit of it! I had hanger steak and lobster tail - the buerre blanc was perfect! And we tried the pots de creme: oo-la-la! We had a great time. The place was buzzing with happy diners by the time we left.
Twice in one week? Why NOT? We'd been trying to get some friends to try Table 16 and they said they could go Friday! We had just been on Wednesday, but... SURE! The arugula and blueberries salad was a scrumptious starter (thanks, Chef!) We tried the pork this time, and OMG, the sweet potatoes were divine. Yes, divine. My husband never eats them, but he does now! We had enjoyed the bone-in filet and the hanger steak and lobster tail just 2 nights before, so we could heartily recommend them to our friends. They loved their entrees and the oysters. Then, pots de creme and coffee and... SMILES all around! We sat back, relaxed, watched the passersby (on First Friday, no less!) Matt was an EXCELLENT server, as usual. We'll be back again soon!
I think you simply need more floor space to achieve real ambiance, reduce noise, etc. When you confirm reservations via e-mail (and your system works impressively) perhaps you could provide some parking instruction, especially after the new area at the end of the street opens.
We went for Prime Rib Night (a once a month special) and it was even better than the last! The salad was mouth-watering good: fresh greens with red onion, some grated cheese, and a rosemary - chili pepper vinaigrette. I think that's right. Whatever it was, it was delicious! The prime rib was cooked to perfection, sitting comfortably on creamy mashed potatoes, with young carrots and a delectable Bordelaise sauce. This was complemented by a Tilia Cabernet, if I remember correctly. When it came time for dessert, Hubby and I didn't want to share, so we each got our own pots de creme. A wonderful meal at a great price! We slept well that night...
I was going to be away for a week and wanted a special night out with my sugar bear. So we decided to go to Table 16 and ... they seated us at Table #16! A memorable meal and a wonderful send-off. Katie was such a good server and the meal was fabulous! (As always.)
I come here like others mostly for the High Point trade shows. I have been here a few times and the menu is always changing. The chef absolutely kills it every meal and I can't recommend this place enough if you can get the reservation, book it!
Whereever we are, at home or on the road, we eat out every meal, usually fine dining. I never take the time to write reviews, even though many of our experiences are certainly worth one. Table 16 changes that. It was everything one would want from a dining experience. From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by Pat, we knew we were "home." She was the perfect hostess. Then, the menu, presented by Emma our awesome server. Each item, even if one we had seen before, was combined with unique twists that had our mouths watering. As we enjoyed each morsel, we were very pleasantly surprised to be visited by Graham (the chef), who even took the time to suggest one of the best wines we've had in years. Incredible experience!
Really amazed by the menu...could have selected several different entrees. Loved the app and my tuna and crab entree. Was tempted by the tasting menu but it is about $10 too much for people to jump on. Wine list is very nice. Can't wait to go back...seriously.
Table 16 is our go-to spot for amazingly fabulous food. Always the best, every time. It's too pricey for us on a regular basis, but it is SO worth the expense now and then.
We arrived early and were seated promptly. Our waiter was top notch. I asked about the 4-course meal and was told the chef prepares something unique for each course. He asked about food allergies and warned us that the portion for this meal were small. As I wasn't hungery, I ordered this and am glad that I did! Each course, while small, was delicious. The chef clearly knows how to excite the senses as each dish proved very complex. Beautiful dish presentation and course timing. I wanted a smokey wine and the waiter recommended one that suited my craving exactly. Through the entire meal, the wait staff was attentive while not hovering. The only issue was the table for two which was very long and not condusive to a romantic meal.
We met another couple for dinner at Table 16. It had been several years since we had dined at this restaurant. We were blown away. My Chilean Sea Bass was the best I had ever experienced with the flavor of the fish coming through without being covered up with encrusted ..... The wait staff was knowledgeable and the pacing of the meal was perfect allowing the four of us to converse without being rushed.
Service was a bit slow at first, but once food began arriving it was excellent.
Table 16 is the best Resturant in Greensboro. The menu is fresh as are the quality ingredients. Dishes are prepared in original, innovative ways. Very romantic setting. Excellent service. The perfect place for special occasions.
This is our second time to this restaurant for a romantic dinner in about a two week time span. This time we had the "dinner tasting." To say that it was superb...is an understatement. This has become our favorite restaurant for nights out. My wife and I are from NY and a major concern for us in NC was the restaurant scene. Needless to say the Piedmont Triad has several restaurants that are Manhattan grade and Table 16 leads the pack by far. From the fantastic and knowledgeable wait staff to the talented Chef/owner and his souz chefs this place is a must for all foodies. NO doubt we will be returning for many more enjoyable meals and evening at Table 16.
Food was wonderful, staff was very informative and knowledgable about the dishes she was serving. Celebrated parents 54th wedding anniversary.
If you want a high quality meal with fresh food, table 16 is the place to go. They buy local and create a new menu each month. And, they actually care what you think! Great place.
Wonderfully creative and well executed menu. Was all delicious. Service was informed, friendly and timely. However, the new age music, played too loud was very dreary and sleep inducing. A great evening of food and wine, despite the music! Would highly recommend for contemporary food fans.
We are from out of town and were looking for a great place to celebrate our daughter's graduation. We found it at Table 16. Our waiter (whose name I regrefully don't recall) was knowledgeable and engaging. He answered all of our questions with confidence and ease and offered helpful suggestions on food and wine. We really wanted to try the tasting menu, but had eaten a late lunch and didn't want just a few courses - we're holding out for six. We promised our daughter we'd come back for the tasting menu an other time. A highlight was the parsnip soup - rich, flavorful-perfect blend. Thanks to the chef, Graham, who shared how he made it with my husband. A MUST place to eat. We would be back tomorrow, if it weren't seven hours away.
Live in Winston Salem, but have to go to Greensboro for GREAT restaurants. Table 16 is one of the best hands down!
We had dinner at Table 16 on Friday night and were very pleased. My Chilean sea bass with trufles was superb, as was my wife's halibut. The spinach and creamed corn mixture that accompanied the sea bass was especially tasty. I started the meal with a mixed drink of white chocolate and grand marnier that was both tasty and creative. Dessert was a wonderful chocolate pot de creme that was just right. All in all, a fine meal. Service was also excellent; Emma explained the restaurant's philosophy of using locally grown food and previewed the dishes.
Neither myself nor my date had been here before and now we can't wait to go back! The setting was great - we could have a conversation without shouting at each other and we did not feel crowded in the restaurant. The food was stunning - we thoroughly enjoyed fried oysters with cucumbers for an appetizer followed by flank steak and grilled wahoo and ended by some delicious creme brulee. Service was outstanding and everything was timed very well. We're looking forward to going back in a month when the menu changes up so taste their new creations!
This was our second meal at Table 16, and it was as good as expected. My ginger-piquillo pepper bisque was wonderful, spicy but not too hot. My grilled wahoo etoufee was also good, although it was a bit more Cajun than I might have like. (The word "etoufee" should have warned me.) We ate with another couple, and one of them remarked that the chef knew his Cajun cooking. Service was excellent, and the young lady who waited on us was knowledgeable and particularly patient in letting us talk to our hearts' content.
I loved the mix of elegant dishes in a relaxed and non-pretentious environment. The service was excellent and friendly. The owner/chef also came out and chatted and told us about other special evenings and deals the restaurant offered. Food was great. I recommend the tasting menu for the first visit. It is a bit expensive but if you go with the specials it is affordable.
It was my first time o visit the place and the experience was exceptional. We tried the Chet's tasting menu, and although the plates were small, we both left completely full. Great wine list, but not over the top from a price perspective. Service was great without being overbearing. It is located in a trendy area just outside of the main downtown area surrounded by antique and other eclectic stores and bars. I highly recommend Table 16,
I've been going to Table 16 for several years and we are NEVER, EVER disappointed! The team takes really good care of us, if we are there for a special occasion, they make sure to take special care of us! We LOVE IT! The food is exquisite! That's the only word I can use to describe it!
We always have a wonderful meal and experience at Table 16!
If you've got the time and budget, the chef's tasting menu is the best option. You get small plates of most of the interesting items on the menu. I don't know how many different courses there were, because we stopped after maybe 7 or 8. Highlights of the last meal were prime rib with Yorkshire pudding (both delicious), a broiled halibut with cranberry beans that was crispy on the outside and tender inside. The cheese plate appetizer was very creative, too. We'll go back.
Exquisite food, carefully prepared and presented. It is our "go to" special occasion restaurant as well as all around favorite, bar none! Chef Graham has a gift in food preparation and creatively blends foods that one wouldn't expect to go together -- but they do, under his magic touch!
Special brought us in. A+ food quality plus value. Can't beat that !
My wife and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at Table 16. I am gluten intolerant and the staff was aware and attentive to those requirements. In addition, the Chef/Owner, Graham Heaton, offered us several excellent wines at reasonable cost, and we selected a Russian river Chardonnay which went very well with our meal. We enjoyed wonderful guinea hen soup, and salmon on lentils. The Chef included arugula salad before the salmon, because he felt it would go well with the meal and the wine; it was a great touch and made for a very fine meal. The wine, meal, and the hospitality of the Chef/Owner and his staff made for an extraordinary fine dining experience, which we will repeat when we have the chance.
Halibut, Wreckfish then lobster all beautifully presented, perfectly prepared and with perfectly paired wines. One of our best nights among many at Table 16. Chef Robert and team delivered a wonderful food experience.
The special menus during the week are not only a great deal, but they are quite the experience. Chef Graham Heaton personally delivers some of the courses and provides a unique preparation.
Can't imagine ordering anything off the menu, the Chef's selection is so very delightful. Should've stopped after two savories, ate too much and paid more than we wanted. Had a wonderful time. Wait staff is friendly and personable.
My wife and i enjoyed the tasting dinner. The duck (which I don't care for) was fantastic as were the Tuna and Venison plates. The cheese plates were very memorable and the dessert was delicious. We will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant.
No wonder our NYC friends told is there was an amazing restaurant located in Greensboro. It's world class IMHO.
I am convinced, once again, that this is the best restaurant in Greensboro. If you don't give them a try you are missing out on an exceptional dining experience.
This was our first time at Table 16 and it was excellent. We had quail for appetizer and salads. Main course wagu beef and halibut. The only complaint was I wish steak was served hotter. Other than that it was incredible. Definitely will be back.
Everytime we go we are so impressed! If you haven't tried Table 16, you are missing out.
We had some friends here from out of town, and we wanted to take them to a nice restaurant. There are many in Greensboro, but the tasting menu experience at table 16 is delicious and fun. We enjoyed the prosciutto wrapped egg plant, baked oysters with spinach and hollandaise, and crab cakes the most. I ran into two co-workers that night also enjoying their dinner for a special occasion. I would highly recommend Table 16.
Table 16 is a fabulous place for fine dining in Greensboro. The food is well prepared and not over seasoned as in several other decent places here. Portions are on the small side, but thus is food that is meant to be savored, not devoured. The staff is very knowledgable about the wine list. Many ingredients are locally sourced and the menu changes monthly so the chef can highlight seasonal items. A bit pricey, but worth it occasionally.
Table 16, from year to year keeps getting better and better.
The food was very good but even more so the service was fantastic. We felt like kings! The food portions are very small for the price ( reminded me of the hip resturants in L.A.). Wine list amazing.
Great place to dine when you want a relaxing evening and have a long time.
Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Definitely a first class establishment.
This place is wonderful, from the service to the food! We went for a couples date night and enjoyed table 16 too much!! Thank you for great food and amazing service.

Actually, I guess I feel a little badly for the people eliminated tonight, mostly because we will never hear from any of them ever again. No? You think I'm exaggerating? Okay, tell me the first four kicked off last season? Right. I thought so. One for me, minus one for you.
Isn't that stage awfully crowded? People are hanging off the edges. Well, luckily, we won't have that problem ever again. Time to start trimming the fat! Brenna, please stop vamping. The camera is only going to be on you for one second.
Wow. How did they move the whole group that quickly? I wish they would've run a split screen there. One side with the credits, one side with the kids running to their second marks and trying to not to step on somebody's heels. Simon has broken out his special robin's egg blue for tonight. And Seacrest has broken out his special white satin pocketsquare. The same one Chris Daughtry wore for his wedding.
Seacrest immediately launches into time kill mode. What a pro! Seacrest then cracks on Simon's sweater, immediately causing me to doubt doing the same earlier. Then Seacrest cracks on Simon's age. For only the tenth time this year. Of course, it's still early.
Oh man, is he serious? A 24-piece singing ensemble? Will anybody get more than four words? What a nightmare this must've been to choreograph. Huh. So I guess David Radford performs like that all the time. Or maybe he just didn't listen to the judges. Chris takes the part after David and the difference is...um...stark, to say the least. There's too much going on here. It's like listening to four CDs at once. And not that experimental Flaming Lips album that has four discs meant to be played at once. And speaking of that, who has four CD players in the same room? Come on, Wayne!
After a break, we go through a melange of the performances from Tuesday and Wednesday. Oh, Bobby, David and Brenna. What are you doing? Ha ha! Brett, who are you kidding with that stare? Following, Ryan reintroduces each contestant. We still have 45 minutes left, so expect to meet everybody at least twice more.
No! Don't talk to Brenna. Talk to anybody else. Muting. Aw! Closed captioning! I can't escape her! Then Ryan and Heather have incredibly awkward first date chatter. Man, that appetizer can't come fast enough. Becky says she can think of a million reasons she will make it and a million reasons she won't. Actually, I can think of one why she will. And a million why she won't.
Ryan finally declares it to be time for some action. Back row gals, stand on up. Ooh! Did Katharine cut her hair? I guess I can find out next week, since nobody from the back section had the lowest number of votes. So who does? Not Heather, Stevie or Melissa. That leaves Kinnik, Becky and Brenna twisting in the wind. I wonder if Brenna will have anything to say about this.
It's the moment of truth for the girls group. That sort of rhymes. Sorta. So girls, what did the judges say about you? Eh, who cares? It only matters what the voters said. And they say Becky can rejoin her sister and their modeling career. Now the traditional singing of the eliminated, a bit I've never understood. I mean, obviously we don't want to hear this person singing any more. That's why the votes ended up like they did.
On to the cuts. If you're in the back row or flanking the front row, you're safe. If your name is Bobby or Jose, you're not. The boys both shaved their mustaches, which were apparently their good luck charms. Wait, wait. Jose didn't actually shave his stache. Just...shrank it, I think. Anyway, no more Bobby Bennett. Becky, then Bobby. B names, look out! B names like...Brenna. Or...actually, I can't think of any more in this year's group. Is there a Beverly up there? Not positive, but I think not. Poor Bobby. He'll never want to shave again.
So Bobby gets one last performance. This shouldn't be too over the top. Well, I guess Bobby has a bright future performing somewhere off- off- off- off-. Now, whether those offs are in front of Broadway or the Vegas Strip, that remains to be seen.
The girls are back in town. Back row is safe once again. Look for every girl to try and stuff themselves in that row next week. Brenna is safe. Nobody claps for her until Ryan tells them to. They must really like her. Kinnikcom, you're safe. Melissa, Ryan has a bunch to say about you. Tension building...building. But she's safe. Down to Stevie and Heather Cox. I'd hate to see Heather go home this early, since she has such a huge crush on me.
And the crush will continue! Stevie is going home. I think Ryan pulled strings behind the scenes because Stevie made him look so short. Poor Stevie. Only on Idol for about seven minutes total this season.
Wow. Show's almost over. Time flies when you've totally drifted off. Okay, time for the second guy to go. Hey! Now the front row is okay. Twisterydoo! Ryan makes the guys line up beside him and all of a sudden it looks like Ryan is out on the town. It's quickly down to Bucky and Patrick. Wait. It's just down to Patrick. Looks like I'll only get to use the adjective aquiline once this year. And I didn't even get to blow-dried!
So Becky, Bobby, Bstevie and Bpatrick are no longer part of American Idol. And in three weeks, you'll have completely forgotten them. I can't believe how heartless you people are. The show is closing with a montage of the fallen four. Do they even have enough footage to use?

The atmosphere is not up to snuff. Burger (The Magnificent) was okay, but not magnificent by any means and over-priced. Wife had a salad, and she said the same.

Excellent pizza and Italian variety. I really enjoyed the pizza and the presentation of the pizza coming out to you on mini skillets. I think the "order at the counter" style of food ordering to be a little cumbersome, but other than that, I really enjoyed it.
I had the mushroom and Swiss burger and it was delicious! The customer service was great as well. A great place to go if you're craving a good burger and friendly environment!!
Having gone here because of all the great reviews, we were expecting something amazing. It was not. The burgers we ordered where "meh." I feel you could make ones at home better/cheaper. My biggest issue was there were plastic toothpick toppers in my burger- more than one. They were also terribly over priced for what we received. We will not... More
I have heard that this place is pretty good. I had a bacon cheeseburger to go. All I can really say is this was very much undercooked to the point of raw. Not impressed at all by the food. I would not recommend it.
Just like the downtown location, except in the strip mall near Brown's Shoefit. They feature a reasonably creative burger menu, well-executed. The menu is on a chalkboard and, as at the downtown location, you order upon entering. The burgers themselves were of very good quality meat and well done, but not dried out. Additional ingredients were fresh. The plain atmosphere... More
For a restaurant known for their burgers, 2 Doors Down does not disappoint. We tried their Grilled Tuna and Salmon burgers which were very good. Cooked just right, served with fries (Grilled Tuna) and a side salad (Salmon) that were very good as well. They offer a cavernous dining area with additional room in an upstairs loft area but it... More
Tou order at the register before you sit down- and there is a LOT of tables to choose from. The TACO SALAD is the best flavor I've ever had! The meat is soooo tasty and a good portion on the lettuce. The 2 sauces/dressings that come with are good as well. It comes with a dollop of guacomole but I... More
Visited 2 Doors Down downtown and enjoyed some burgers. Was expecting something similar to Red Robin and that was what we got. The staff was courteous and helpful, refilling drinks and bringing endless streak fries to our hearts' (and stomachs' content). The food was good and it arrived pretty quickly. The only confusing part was the drinks - you fill... More
This place serves the best burgers in Cheyenne and they do it in an efficient manner. Place is full at lunchtime so be prepared to stand in a line but it goes quickly. Can't go wrong with any of the burgers and they will cook them to order (rare to well done). However, there are many other great menu items... More

It hasn't been the case for _many_ years that it was normal to have some number of user-visible bad blocks on a drive. you almost have to go back to the days of MFM/RLL/ESDI drives (I think this was 12+ years ago)
Ext4 to be standard for Fedora 11, Btrfs also included (heise online)

Even my old drives do bad block remapping, but there is no way to know about it until they run out since they do not have SMART!! Given enough time, they will run out or the drive will crash entirely. I have older drives that do remap blocks, but have run out of spare blocks. I no longer use them since they are obviously risky to use, but in the meantime I am happy to have not lost any data until I realized the problem.
Your OS point is idealistic as I tried to explain previously. I don't know of any linux distro that enables smartmon by default, so, no, the average user will not know when the drive is going bad even thought the tools exists to find out. Even if they did have smartmon enabled, do you think the average user looks through logs to see if there are any problems? How would a linux desktop GUI only user ever know?
Not to mention, that you still have not provided a logical reason to NOT perform bad block allocation except for your stance that it is not really needed.
Just to add to this, my personal opinion is that the HD is the wrong place for this feature anyway. It requires you to waste an arbitrary number of blocks as spares. There is no way to get that number right, either you will have allocated too many or too few. Neither case is ideal. Since this really is a software feature (remapping), let the OS know and don't pretend it's a hardware feature. To be honest, it probably belongs at the block layer since it will not make sense to do it at the FS layer if using LVM.
Perhaps LVM should take care of this? If I use LVM, I should be able to have my spare blocks on a separate disk. In fact LVM should probably have thresholds that make it remap the entire disk when it starts to see too many bad blocks! I guess ideally all the layers should be able to handle badblocks somehow. :)

the problem with having the OS do bad-block mapping is that people use drives with different OS's, and they would all have to know about all the bad blocks, what they were remapped to, etc.
drives used to work this way, the reliability of having the OS do this (even in cases where you weren't dual-booting) was bad enough that at the time it migrated into the drives so that the OS could forget about this, everyone considered this a step forward.
it's far more complicated for the drive to do the remapping than to let the OS do it, so it wasn't just a whim that change things so that every drive manufactured does it internally.

No OS bad block remapping scheme will change that.

however, if the drive really is going bad, doing so could further damage your data

(Using RAID will let you do that rewrite without losing the data that was in the sector that went bad.)

Drives often don't remap UNTIL YOU DO A WRITE. So I keep getting errors while trying to mount, fsck, or when doing something to an adjacent sector, until I manually zero out that sector. Then my hard drive is perfect again from the OS's viewpoint.
Of course using bad block lists can often not do the right thing, because they only do a read test...

Eastmoreland-Woodstock Sewer Repair
The City of Portland's Environmental Services will be starting construction this winter to repair and replace almost 40,000 feet of severely deteriorated sewer pipe in various locations in the Eastmoreland and Woodstock neighborhoods. The project area is bordered by SE Ellis Street and SE Woodstock on the north, SE 28th Avenue on the west, SE 45th Avenue on the east and SE Crystal Springs Boulevard on the south. The city installed the existing sewer before 1920. The pipes range from eight to 24 inches in diameter with depths ranging from seven to 17 feet.
Please contact Debbie Caselton at 503-823-2831 if you have questions or concerns, or if you would like to be added to the project mailing list for future updates; please email her to add you to the email list and put "Eastmoreland-Woodstock" in the subject line.
