Welcome to my final Hip Hop Hooray project for the week, a pretty Easter head band. Here's what you will need:
♥ Yarn, 3 colours
♥ Crochet hook + needle + cotton (for stitching)
♥ Felt
♥ Embroidery cotton
♥ Small scrap of felt
♥ Tiny doily (optional)
♥ Tiny printable bunny template - Download Download bunny for head band
Step 1: Crochet three lengths of yarn using chain stitch - ours measured 53cm, but they may need to be adjusted, depending on the child/adult head size.
Step 2: Slip stitch the lengths of yarn together.
Step 3: Pop the three lengths of crochet chain together and cut out a small rectangle from felt.
Step 4: Hand stitch the felt together, to secure the crochet lengths.
Step 5: Print out the template and cut out a bunny from felt. Blanket stitch around the outer edge.
Step 6: Hand stitch the bunny onto a small doily. You can also omit the doily and just stitch the bunny directly onto the head band.
Step 7: Hand stitch the doily/rabbit onto the head band.
Wear and enjoy! The headband can also be worn quite nicely as a necklace :)
Don't forget to pop over and check out Tamar's sweet project for today.
Thanks so much for joining us for our third Hip Hip Hooray series. Hip Hip Hooray for winter is in the planning stages now.
If you have enjoyed our series so far you will LOVE our latest collaboration....
Imagine sitting down and sharing a cup of tea with Tamar and myself, a couple of times a month - while we chat about all manner of crafty things ... watch this space - more details on our secret project coming soon!!

Like many of you, I watched the 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy concert on TV, which featured Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and many other musicians who are on my iPod playlist. I was struck by the stories of Hurricane Sandy survivors – some of whom live within a short drive of Sanofi sites in Bridgewater and North Brunswick, N.J. Most of all, I was moved by the performers' willingness to give of their talents to help New Jerseyans and New Yorkers rebuild. They could easily have a written a check and left it at that, but they gave of themselves.
We're all now in a season of giving – and what better time to use our skills and talents to help others. We can't all sing like Alicia Keys or organize a mega-fundraiser, but we can all give something of ourselves – and the simple things, running errands for an elderly friend or watching a neighbor's children, can make a big difference for those individuals.
Painting a Brighter Future
Sanofi is a very big supporter of employee volunteerism. Our program, in which approximately 1,800 colleagues participated in more than 130 activities over the month of October, was themed Season of Solidarity this year. As part of the annual program, I joined several employees in painting apartments at a Bronx homeless shelter. Most of the shelter's residents are single mothers and their children who stay up to one year as they reestablish the foundations needed to get back into homes of their own.
We divided into teams, a few of us in each apartment with drop cloths, paint brushes and cans of off-white paint. Four apartments were painted on that late October day, and while we did not meet the occupants, I envisioned them returning to the clean crispness of freshly painted rooms – and hopefully, a feeling of home.
Connecting Community Service with Our Core Commitment
We chose that University Avenue shelter because of its connection to Children's Health Fund (CHF), an organization supported by Sanofi US. CHF's mission – to provide comprehensive healthcare to the nation's most medically under-served children – resonates with us as a healthcare company and as parents, aunts and uncles, neighbors and friends.
Every Monday, a Children's Health Fund mobile health clinic van makes a house call to the University Avenue shelter. Among the many services available, sick shelter residents can be seen by doctors and healthy ones can receive preventive care like vaccines. When follow-up care is needed at a hospital or with a specialist, the mobile clinic's staff helps make arrangements, gives reminder calls and provides transportation – not just a bus voucher. With its mobile health clinic, Children's Health Fund provides some of New York's most vulnerable patients with the consistent, competent and compassionate healthcare we would want for ourselves.
I look forward to sharing more about Sanofi; the Children's Health Fund, for which I chair its Corporate Council; and myself in future blogs. Until then, I wish you good health and all the best this holiday season and in the coming year.

I loved it,food was excellent. But the customer service was the worst. Managment needs to retrain the staff,very rude with attitude. But will still go again for the food. Thanks to the kitchen STAFF,very GOOD.

The Basinis is the best run, best food, best atmostphere and best service resturant in Saratoga. I have visited them on a number of different occassions and they have always beenoutstanding, Andrew , the owner, has greeted me almost everytime I have visited his establishment and he always comes to the table, as he does with all the tables, to find out if eveything is to our liking. I have been served by Todd on a few occassions and he is a true professional. He is a wakiing encyclopedia on foods, wines and spirits. If you want to have an outstand experience everytime The Basin is your best choice.

The Basin is consistently great - both the food and the service.
The owner Andrew keeps the place humming along.

This past Saturday evening (6/7/08) I held a private 50th anniversary dinner for 23 in The Basin's warmly-lit private back room. I arranged the whole party from Los Angeles with owner Andrew whose kindness and attention to detail were evident from his emails. I told Andrew we would have 18, and at dinner time we had 5 extra people -- without hesitating, our main waiter Bruno snapped up another two tables, fit them into the room, and seated us without ever losing his smile or patience. Custom menus were printed for our party, delighting the guests of honor. The food reminded me of the authentic flavors of Spain I'd enjoyed only a year ago: Croquetas, jamon serrano, olives, warmed nuts, and Spanish cheese started our adventure. I had the cream-free carrot-ginger soup and a savory line-caught Sea Bass with perfect texture and lovely plating. The steaks ordered by some of the guests are the thickest I've ever seen, and I've been to Ruth Chris, folks. These were better. The Dungeoness crab pasta had a little kick, perfect with the red wine being served. Exacting standards of flavor from the chef were balanced for everyone all around -- a true symphony. The food arrived quickly, the wines were outstanding, and Andrew and Bruno's leadership of the team helping with our party made the evening a night to remember for the rest of our lives. Hats off to this unassuming five-star gem, worthy of a visit from the folks at Michelin.

This is our favorite Saratoga restaurant. The food and ambience is great and the owner, Andy, makes everyone feel like part of the family. It's sort of ""Cheers"" with great food and fun. It's quite small though so seating is really tough if you don't have a reservation. A lot of people go there before the Mountain Winery concerts so a later reservation might be a good idea.

I never used to be a fan of mushrooms until I experienced mushroom nirvana at The Basin. This dish (described as a signature dish) was chalk full of exotic, wild mushrooms such as chanterelles and morels, plesantly light cream sauce, and al dente rigatoni pasta. Our waitress was knowledgable and food savvy. She explained that the meat and produce come from organic and if possible sustainable local farms. The fish is rod and reel caught and they could even name the fishing boat that it came from! The beautiful skirt steak is hormone, chemical free and grass-fed. The owner greeted everyone that walked through the door, gave hugs to his well known guests as they left and shook the hands of the patrons he did not know. The restaurant was full of positve energy and was obviously a delightful local hang out spot for anyone looking for an epic glass of wine (or even better a bottle), a pint of beer or a good stiff martini.

went here tonight and was dissappointed in the crowd. The food was okay and the beer was good, but I like people watching and this place was dead on a wed night. Not a place for a great scene.

A group of my friends and I decided to dine one night due to a friends graduation. We weren't very knowlegeble about food or wine so we decided to search restaurants online and came around to The Basin. The main dining room was lit with a very soft lighting excluding the beautiful candles on the table. Andrew, who I believe to be the owner of the establishment was very generous by letting us have dinner without reservations. He mentioned that next time we come back reservations would be a good idea. The service was great, our server helped us paired our food with our wine and was extremely helpful with the descriptions of the food/wine. The pork chop was phenomenal. It wasn't dry at all! the bourbon whole seed mustard sauce was to die for.. thinking about it makes me want to come back for more. Overall, it was probably the finest dining experience I have ever came across. Thanks to the staff of the Basin and Andrew for a great time!

We went there based on several different recommendations, and were sorely disappointed. The service was good, the prices were high, and the quality of food was mediocre. The paella was one of the worst I have ever had, and the foie gras tasted horrible. We also had the chicken, again mediocre, the ahi tuna which was ok, and the lamb shank which was nothing to write home about. All in all, a very average restaurant, one would expect a lot more, just because of the quality of neighboring restaurants, if nothing else. Would not recommend, unless you have absolutely no other choice. Definitely not worth the price or the reputation

We went to The Basin to celebrate finding out we were going to have our first baby. I made the reservation and we have a very good dinner. The service was good, steaks were very good and to top it all off they remembered I had just made a simple request to have a nice table as we were celebrating. At the end of dinner they made a nice gesture to us and my wife and I appreciated it. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Largest Python Ever Caught in Florida
Published May 20th, 2013
MIAMI-DADE - A Miami man captured and killed what many say is the largest Burmese python ever caught in Florida.
Jason Leon was driving in a rural section of southwest Miami-Dade earlier this month when he and his friends spotted a large snake in the road.
Leon says he pulled over and began dragging the snake out of the bushes.
That's when the python began wrapping itself around the man's leg.
His friends grabbed a knife and killed the python.
Experts at the University of Florida identified the snake as a 18-foot, 8-inch long female.
You may recall the previous record-holding snake was 17-feet, 7-inches that was captured last August in the Everglades.

Study is first to observe oscillatory cracking behavior of materials
"Avalanches"—the crackling behavior of materials under slowly increasing stress, like crumpling paper or earthquakes—may have a novel facet previously unknown, say Cornell researchers.
A study led by former postdoctoral associate Stefanos Papanikolaou employs both theory and experiment to describe never-before-seen oscillatory behavior of microcrystal plastic bursts at very small scales, under highly controlled conditions.
The study, co-authored by James Sethna, professor of physics, is featured on the cover of the journal Nature, Oct. 25.
The experiments were done by co-author Dennis M. Dimiduk of the Air Force Research Laboratory, using microfabricated nickel microcrystals. They recorded individual microcrystals' behavior as they were slowly crushed, causing microscale avalanches. What emerged was a new power law that determined the probability of crackles of different sizes.
Analyzing the data, Papanikolaou and collaborators found that slowing the crushing of microcrystals led to an oscillation of avalanches themselves—large then small, in a repeating pattern, and with time periods between the large events roughly periodic. This was different from previous experiments and theories of crackling noise and avalanches.
Avalanches have previously been known to happen at random times following a power law behavior, in that the number of avalanches is given by a power of the avalanches' size. The new experiments not only display oscillations, but also give a markedly different power law—a "new route to criticality, with a perpetual cycle leading to the emergence of self-similarity," Sethna said.
They explain and model the oscillations and this new law by including other smooth "oozing" processes that compete with the avalanches; oozing becomes important when the crystals are crushed nearly as slowly as they ooze.
It's a theory the scientists think could apply to many intermittent phenomena that become oscillatory as "relaxation" increases—earthquakes deep in the earth crust, for one, but even less conventional ones—like the low-frequency oscillations of brain waves during sleep.
"We could maybe open a window to actually starting to model accurately the emergence of such phenomena in large collections of neurons," Papanikolaou said.
The work was supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Basic Energy Sciences division of the Department of Energy, the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

- Anna Craig
Feb 09, 2011 - After so many years of having hairdressers who didn't get my curly hair, I finally found Anna! It is difficult to find a stylist of her level with the professionalism to match. Anna is extremely knowledgeable about curly hair, the products and trends. I have a cut that looks great whether I blow it straight, diffuse it curly, or just let it air dry. I use to hate my curls, but now I would rather style it curly than blow-dry it straight. Thanks Anna, you've given my hair new meaning!

The Hearts We Mend
Full Product Description
Planning and Post-It notes are the epitome of Evie s life. But when she meets Jack, her life gets more than a little complicated. Thirteen years ago, Evie's firefighterhusband was killed in the line of duty, leaving her to raise their young son, Cody, alone. Now, Cody is marrying the love of his life, and as he packs up his belongings, the house feels as empty as Evie's heart. But for all her planning and mad organizational skills, Evie could never have anticipated the dramatic shift her life is about to make. Tattooed, rough-around-the-edgesJack raises quite a few eyebrows in the tight-knit community of Banister Falls. Where Evie's life is stream-lined, Jack's approach to living is moment-by-moment. But as Evie gets drawn into Jack's world a world that isn't as safe or predictable as the one she's worked so hard to create he challenges her to open her eyes to the problems outside the walls of the church. Jack doesn't makeEvie feel comfortable, but he definitely makes her feel something. Something she hasn't felt sinceMax passed away or, maybe ever. Because even though Jack isn't anything like her late husband, he just might be everything she needs."

text: KITTERY, Maine, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenPages-LogicsOne, a leading systems integrator and cloud services company recently launched its new offering, Cloud Management as a Service (CMaaS) which gives organizations the ability to manage physical, virtual, and cloud resources through a single-pane-of-glass portal. CMaaS provides organizations with visibility into, and control of, their entire infrastructure: from physical servers, desktops, mobile devices, applications, firewalls, and storage platforms—to virtual and on-premise cloud environments—to resources at public cloud providers such as Amazon, Terremark, and Rackspace. "One of the biggest barriers organizations face when moving to a hybrid cloud environment is effectively managing it; they simply don't have the resources or budget," said Ron Dupler, GreenPages CEO. "CMaaS provides enterprise-grade management capabilities at a fraction of the cost—a huge competitive advantage—and eliminates the complexity and risk associated with adopting cloud." CMaaS is an as-a-service, per device offering with features that include Monitoring & Alerting; Cloud Service Provider Management; Provisioning; Remote Asset Management; Secure Timed Access; Session Recording; Patching; and Reporting & Performance Analytics. "CMaaS also works with and enhances monitoring and management technologies that organizations are already utilizing in their environment," added Dupler. "It's a synergistic solution. Rather than displace existing toolsets, CMaaS enables customers to maximize their IT investments by harnessing the full capabilities of leading technologies." GreenPages-LogicsOne offers CMaaS at four different levels: Platform Only; Monitoring; Monitoring Plus; and Full Management. Organizations can also mix and match features from different CMaaS levels to handle specific aspects of their infrastructure. "It all depends on the client's unique IT and business goals," said Dupler. "Our job is to help clients seamlessly move to a hybrid model so they can achieve the technical and operational agility necessary to successfully compete in the modern cloud era."

New research shows giant pandas have a stronger immune system than previously known, because the panda immune system develops different antigens depending on where it lives.
This genetic diversity is a natural defense against extinction, because it means a single pathogen cannot wipe out the entire population. The study shows pandas are more genetically diverse than Bengal tigers, Namibian cheetahs and other endangered species.
Pandas have been listed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's endangered species lists since 1990, but the new findings show that they might be more resilient to environmental change than researchers believed.

Secondhand Smoke
A gorgeous tragicomic novel of working-class New Orleans. Zib and Wilson Bailey-Jerusha's two grown kids-think the thick cloud of cigarette smoke enveloping their mother is what probably killed their father. Certainly the toxicity of Jerusha Bailey's dark and cynical attitudes has driven her children far from home. Wilson has escaped to Chicago, married, converted to Judaism, become a professor of Organic Evolution, all of which earns his mother's scorn. She doesn't think much of her daughter either: Zib, almost forty, unmarried and directionless, has made it only as far as the Florida Panhandle, where she's the assistant manager at the local Winn-Dixie and must fight off her boss's affections.So obliviously isolated is Jerusha, only one person is left in her sights: Dustin Puglia, chubby, wise, and fearless, a ten-year-old living next door with a poisonous mother of his own. The two become attached in this hilarious story of responsibility and blame. Secondhand Smoke is a deeply universal tale of blunt truth and hard-earned redemption.

I am interested in some of the watches in the current Maurice Lacroix lineup, but I don't know exactly what models are powered by an in house movement. The masterpiece collection obviously uses in house movements, but I'm questioning some of the watches from the Pontos collection.
How about the Pontos Grand Guichet GMT? Or the Petite Seconde?
Judging by the price of these pieces I would say that these watches are powered by ETA movements, but I might wrong.
Does anyone have a list of some sort of what movements they use?

Amazing south Indian food
This is one of the amazing places for South Indian food in matunga that never disappoints anybody! I have been here with my family and we have had Idli, Vada, Rava Onion Dosa, Mysore masala Onion Dosa, rasam idli, uttapam and pineapple shira. We also had unlimited Sambhar and chutney which was an eye opener for us,something not offered anywhere else or maybe it was a special day. Price is the best,so affordable even in today's day and age!

delicious and pocket friendly
It's a typical South Indian restaurant/hotel and a must visit if u r a South Indian food fan. I m not, but I surprisingly loved the dishes! Bisibele bhath and neer dosa should b my favorite(make sure to taste all the dip/chutney).
One must end their meal at Ramashray with almond/pineapple sheera (both equally yummy!!!) and a filter coffee.
Ambience is nothing great but the coffee aroma leaves u mesmerized.
Staff is super friendly and service is quick! 5 min walk from matunga station!
Extremely Pocket friendly !
Always crowded (u will Hav to be in waiting whatever time and day it is), but worth d wait :)

Must Visit For All South Indian Food Lovers
Ram Ashraya is one restaurant that we visited every single day during our junior college times. Made me nostalgic when I went here yesterday. If you are somebody who just concentrates on the food, then you will love Ram Ashraya. It just believes in serving you good food; no frills and fancies.
You must try their Rava Dosa - crispy and has just the right amount of chillies and juicy raisins! I always order Onion Uttapa in whichever restaurant I go to, but Ram Ashraya's Onion Uttapam is the best. They serve two types of chutneys - a white coconut chutney and a red coconut, red chilies & garlic chutney. Although, due to the huge demand for their red chutney, it gets over by brunch time, unless you're really lucky.
Ram Ashraya has two different varieties of Sheera everyday for dessert. Till now I have tried Orange, Blackcurrant, Mango, Jack Fruit, Strawberry, Chocolate, and Chickoo; Jackfruit being my favourite.
Give it a go!

Awesome south indian food
One of the best places to enjoy authentic south indian food. The sambar is not sweet and chutneys are excellent. Filter coffee is to die for. This place is easier to find. Mostly crowded but who cares if the food is satisfactory.

Mango sheera, Yes please!
On a lazy Saturday afternoon began our quest for Hotel Ramashraya, a walk to the hotel was quiet an exploring session. Once at the hotel, I saw people busy gorging on their eats. Finding a place we settled and ordered. When our food arrived , the table was full of fine south Indian food. Cheese dosa, Buns, Mango sheera, Kai and Rasam idli is what we had. The dosa was perfectly made with meltled cheese, crispy yet soft. The idli's were a considerable size and the consistency grainy yet soft, paired with rassam it was yummy. Buns very porous, sweet and light.; sheera had a subtle mango flavour and tiny cubes of mango adding the much needed flavour to it. It would not be right if I compare the price to the food, becasue the food is great.

Value for money
If you want authentic South Indian food especially dosas then this is the right place for you. This hotel is very famous here and popular among the college students. You may feel the service is a bit on the lower side but considering the crowd you cannot blame them as it is bound to happen. A normal hotel serving good food with justified price is now a days hard to find and Ram Ashraya has these positives.

Awesome South Indian Food
Craving for South Indian food then this is the perfect place for you. I visit this place regularly. This hotel is always crowded and waiting is always worth it. The best dishes of this hotel includes Mysore Rava Masala Dosa and Sheera. Good news is they serve unlimited chutney and sambar! This place is good to visit at any time of the day. One negative point is, you might have to share your table with strangers. Overall, I would rate it as 4.5/5.

Ram ashray!
On a Sunday morning been to ramashray only to be greeted by a couple of dozen people waiting for a seat. After nearly half n hour came our chance. This is a pure south indian restaurant and theres loads of variety here. We ordered Sunday special Coconut sewai, Buns and rasam wada which were spectacular. The buns were sweet and super hot. The coconut sewai was over for the day before 9am. We then had neer dosa which was amazingly served with 3 diff chutneys. The onion rawa sada and mysore masala dosa were very well made. The dosa's were crisp and the serving was good. We had the sweet sheera which was super soft and very sweet made of pure ghee. The ever refreshing filter coffee was great as u wud expect in a south indian hotel. The Rates were economical as well. Overall highly recommended for a delightful breakfast.

Pure delight!
I have never been a fan of Idli's but this place has changed y opinion about them.
The Idli they serve here is mind blowing. I can never resist myself from having their Butter Idli.
After studying overnight when you start feeling hungry as the sun starts to rise you can happily close your books and go to Ramashraya for their amazing Idlis, Uttapas and Sheera! Not to forget a cup of Coffee to keep you awake till you reach home ;)
That's usually how my visits happen to Ramashraya. But irrespective of the scenario the above mentioned dishes are a treat to your taste buds.

All The Idli Fans!!! Dont miss this chance!!
A must visit if you happen to go to Matunga. Surprising this place has received so fewer reviews in comparison.
It is a roadside hotel and clearly in a no-miss zone. The smell of coffee from the shop nearby literally drags you to it.
Typical south Indian style and very cheaply priced, this place is a haven for daily craves of southie food.
The pineapple sheera, Vada Sambhar and pretty much a lot of food here is on par with the best restaurants around the city. You would feel transported back to crowded peak hour chennai due to the hustle and bustle of this place. Worth every penny.

The best dosa-idli place in town!
Disclaimer: I'm a meat lover who also happens to like well-made veg food. But it well better be made really well. And I don't like spicy food.
Went there with a friend and it's actually a really nice place to eat at. It's definitely not dark and dang. It's brightly lit and spacious. It's not that loud (like some hi-fi places where you can't have a decent conversation!).
Food reigns supreme here. Small portions so more to taste from. I tried the upma, two types of dosas (mysore onion sada and tuppa), two wada (rassam wada and kadi wada), butter idli, and two sheeras (pineapple and chocolate), filter kapi.
Must order (I'll be back for this): butter idli, tuppa dosa, upma, pineapple sheera, mysore sada
Give it a miss: chocolate sheera
Haven't tried; want to try: Rawa saada. Masala dosa.
As a coffee lover, Madras Cafe kapi is better, but Ramashray scores overall.

Sheera - Innovation. Also great South Ind food
This place is located just opposite to Matunga Central Railway Station. You will have to wait for a few mins to get in. The Rava Mysore Onion is so spectacular that you wont need any chutney or Sambar as accompaniment. The Filter Coffee is top notch.
One big reason why you should visit this place is to try out Sheeras. They have a new Sheera everyday. I have tasted Pineapple, Chocolate, Strawberry, Black Currant & Badam Sheeras. I have heard great things about Jackfruit Sheera as well. Also this place is extremely economical. In all, a must visit.

The South Indian King
After a night out on Saturday, 5 am ko Ramashraya kaa garam garam Idli Sambhar nahi khaya to kya khaya :) If you love South Indian food, then am sure you must have been here. Have you heard of Strawberry Sheera or Gauva Sheera, these are some special not missable dishes available out here. Idli Sambhar, Mysore Sada, Filter coffee and other south Indian dishes are all prepared in the traditional style. A word of caution, as with any good restaurant, just be prepared to wait for an hour at peak hours (i.e. Sunday mornings & evening). A must try!

you are close to this place when u see a crowd
if you are in matunga and you see a crowd of people waiting to get in then chances are that you are very close to Ram ashray. their idlis are something to swear by even today after so many years. i have taken parcels from them as early as 5 in the morning for picnics etc. Thankfully they still maintain the same level of service and quality standards. It is sad to see that even street stalls charge more than these udipi restaurants in Matunga

Mr. Dependable!
Its 5:30 am on a Sunday morning and you either partied all night/ had a stay over or are up early to head out on a long road trip and what do you do? Head to Ram Ashray for mind blowing filter coffee and steaming idlis!
Ram Ashray is located close to the Kabutarkhana at Matunga Central and is one of the dozen odd south indian eateries in our area.
Idlis, dosas, medu vadas and coffee are served with great speed, made to perfection and the staff always has a smile on their face.
Their cocunot sevai and shira are also worth a try. The value for money quotient of this joint is unbelievable and taste is top notch. Not the place to visit if you are in the mood for some privacy or comfort as you are provided neither.

You sure cannot miss to locate Ram Ashrayas for 2 reasons; its location on the corner of the main road and the serpentine queue of patrons outside this Temple of South Indian Food.
It opens at 5 am every day, when most of Mumbai is still sleeping and is crowded within minutes. Finding a place to sit here within 10 minutes for group of 4 and more people on a Sunday morning should be added as a task on MTV Roadies, such is the popularity. I would equate it to waiting in a queue outside a temple to take darshan on your favourite God.
But once you enter this temple, it is Heaven all along.
Items to be sampled here apart from the regular run-of-the mill South Indian fare of Idli / Wada / Dosa / Uttappa:
1. Upma
2. Pineapple Sheera [One of the BEST you would ever find. If you are not an early bird, you may not get to taste it]
3. Bissi Belle Bath [This is speciality of Karnataka. A concoction of Rice, Tur Dal, some Veggies, Tamarind paste and Spices. A cousin of the Masala Dal Khichdi but a spicy version]
4. Tomato Rice
5. Curd Rice topped with a fried fiery Red Chilli & Appalam [Rice Papad]
A special mention of the chutney which is different from the other South Indian eateries in the vicinity. It is consists of grated coconut and green chillies, topped with a just-perfect oil tempering. I have been here so many times but every time the URAD DAL pieces in the tempering have the same colour, a perfect brick red.
Down the above with a tumbler or two of Filter Coffee.
The restaurant is very clean, greeted by the lungi clad ever smiling waiters, fast service and more than Value for Money.
When you settle your bill and walk out, you cant help but mutter a silent prayer; ANNA DATA SUKHI BHAVA.

Innovative Tasty Food
After going through various reviews about Hotel Ram Ashray, we decided to visit this most famous hotel in Matunga (East) on the Gudi Padva evening.
As we went in peak hours, there was huge waiting outside this Hotel, which is situated diagonally opposite of Matunga (C.Rly) Station near Matunga Kabutarkhana Opp. Municipal Market. At the entrance, Hotel is displayed a Newspaper article about hotel on Sheera Innovation. As we were just two, so we got an opportunity to get seat within 10 min.
Ambiance: I would give 4 out of 5 as it's not posh hotel. Typical South Indian Restaurant but with ample space between two rows of seats. The space is such a huge that they arrange for additional chair to accomodate additional family member.
Menu: No Menu Card is available in the hotel & Menu is written on Black Board. But we decided to order what we learnt on internet about their speciality Mysore Masala, Dosa, Two plate Bisiballe Bhaath, Chocolate Sheera.
Food: As Mysore Masala was not available because of non-availability of bhaaji, we were served Mysore Sada Dosa apart from Two plate Bisiballe Bhaath, Chocolate Sheera. The taste was awsome. I am foodie & roam around Mumbai for best food. I had never heard or tasted a dish called Chocolate Sheera. It's just fabulous. Bisiballe Bhaat was served with fried kurdai (don't know the exact word for this), Sambar & Chatni. Quantity was good in case of Bisiballe Bhaath at Rs.26/-. I found slightly less quantity of Chocolate Sheera. But if you consider the ingrediants they must have added then Rs.33 for Chocolate Sheera is value for money at any cost. As we expected Mysore Dosa was large at Rs.41. The waiter also gave additional two Sambar plates with Chatnis, of course free of cost. (I recollected Unlimited Chatni & Smabar of Manis Restaurant near Ruia College)
Sevice: The Service given was quick as their staff realize the people waiting outside for having their delicious food. But I felt disappointed about their serving of water as the guy was inserting his figures in the class while serving water.
Overall experience: Good South Indian restaurant with nice crowd, extremely delicious food with slightly unhygine service (which can be improve at any time). So friends if you would like taste Sheera innovation, visit Hotel Ram Ashray.

Authentic Udipi Restaurant
This is taken in the same breath as Cafe Madras..almost similar sort fo a setting.
Huge wait times again to get in esp during weekends.
Hard to miss as it is on the main road and is located on the corner and generally people are standing outside for their chance to get in.
their Idli is absolutely delicious, it just melts in your mouth. Also worth trying is the mysore masala dosa and the Upma is also good.
Their sweets, esp fruit seeras are great. Made with real fruit rather than artificial colours, surely worth a bite.

No one can east just one
Love this little place opposite Matunga Station (central line) Whenever I've visited here, I always walk in thinking I'm going to eat modestly and not be greedy. I always fail.
What I loved:
No fuss quick service.
A/C and non A/C section.
Fresh and piping hot food.
VFM pricing.
What I think needs work:
The place is very small and cramped, but I guess this cant change unless they extend the place or start another outlet.
What I would recommend trying:
Bisibelabath - midly spiced and full robust flavours. Crush a few fried papads and the combination is delightful.
Paniyaram - This fried savory snack is morsel sized and perfect to pop into your mouth with the smallest dab of coconut chutney.
Five stars and my vote of confidence to this one for satisfying my craving of South Indian food on more than one occasion.
Filter coffee - If you like you coffee strong and not too sweet, this is just perfect.

AUTHENTIC Udipi Restaurant in Mumbai
There's nothing left to praise about this place. Other reviewers have included everything i would have said but still i would collate it and give you a detailed review.
First of all its starting time is 5 am and yes it starts bang on stroke of 5.
Early morning breakfasts include Upma, Idli, Vada, Sheera and may be Dosa(dont know for sure coz i never had dosa here early morning).
There is no Menu system which gives you a hint of its Authenticity ;)...
One distinctive feature is they write Special items on
* Slate near the entrance, so when u r standing in the queue, probablity of which is 99/100 times, you know what you have to order today, and
* On the outside part of the Granite that hides person washing hands from those who eat which has two pros, one - the people eating food do not feel disgusted watching that person wash hands and two - people can see what r today's special items :P...
But jokes apart menu is not needed... there are those regular varieties of Dosa's and rassam vada and Bissibelle bhat and appam and idli and vada and upma and goli bhaji and curd rice... ufff
But their sell out dishes include
* NEER DOSA with Red Chutney and Sweet Grated Copra... Never had such an amazing neer dosa earlier in my life
* Flavoured Sheera's... Chocolate, Pineapple, Butterscotch, Kacchi Kairi, Black Currant, Regular... btw i have had all of them... had never heard so many flavours in sheera except for Pineapple... and never does it taste awful... it might be low on resemblance to the actual flavour but never goes horribly wrong... My personal favourite the Buttescotch flavour
And as said by one reviewer ""You say u like south indian food and you haven't eaten at Ram Ashraya!!! Shame on you!"
You should be really lucky to eat stale or tasteless or bad food over here ;)

Finest South Indian Restaurant
Every other day in Mumbai, opens a restaurant, that change the way people percieve food on their palate and then there are few others, which go down in history. I have been to many restaurants, who serve authentic Udipi dishes or atleast claim to do so, but today I was introduced to a place, which not only claims to serve authentic Udipi dishes, but successfully do so and in a grand manner. Hotel Ram Ashray in Central Matunga is a winner all the way!!!!
Don't be fooled, with this hole-in-the-wall restaurant, in the bustling area of Central Matunga. The serpentine queues outside, speaks volume for this place. Hotel Ram Ashray, is not your regular Udipi Restaurant, but this is an authentic Udipi joint. Dont think of going here if you are an ambiance strict person. Ram Ashray is for those, who love to hog on Dosas, Idlis and Upmas irrespective of the place. The ambiance might question your thoughts about this place, but when the aroma of the freshly made Sambar hits you, it will make you erase those thoughts instantly.
The Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala are a hit amongst the regulars, but their stand out dish, has to be the Upma. The softness of the perfectly seasoned Rawa and the flavors of masala makes you a fan at the first bite.
Its not a place to sit for hours with your peers and chat over some authentic South Indian dishes, but this place is for those, who come quick, eat quick, but let the taste of those fermented marvels, stick on their tongues until they return for it.

South Indian food at its best!
"You say u like south indian food and you haven't eaten at Ram Ashraya!!! Shame on you!" Agreed with this statement made by my friends when I went there for dinner yesterday! Seriously, shame on me!
Always full (as my friends told me), the service was quite good! Amazingly soft idlis which just melt in the the mouth, mysore masala dosa, neer dosa(served with sambar, 2 chutneys and dry coconut) dahi chawal (with nimbu ka achaar and a stuffed fried mirchi)! And filter coffee to wash all this down! Jannat!!!
Lots of other things to try... Will be back soon!

Great Start to the Morning
Its very packed on Sunday mornings and you're packed like sardines where ever an empty spot is available. But given its bigger than the rest you get place faster. That aside the food is very good. Unfortunately there's no menu so it's tough if you want to try something different since the waiters are always on the run. I wish they would expand the menu a bit more.
Soft idlis, great Mysore Sada and Uttapams. Even the drinks - Lassi and Nimbu Pani are strangely addictive.
Super cheap, makes for a great Sunday breakfast place with the family.

Was expecting better ....
Was hoping to catch something special at this place this morning since it is Pongal. I was hoping to get some khara pongal since I dont fancy the sweet variety - was told it is not available. Nothing but the usual fare.
So the 2 of us settled in with a plate of idlis and medu vadas, progressed to a plain dosa, followed it with a mysore masala dosa and finally a plain rava dosa. Last came in the filter coffee.
The good: Mysore masala dosa, rava dosa, filter coffee and bill of Rs. 157
The bad: Medu vadas (were hard), sambar, long waiting period between dishes (their kitchen cant cope up)
The ugly: The utensils are not cleaned properly before being used again
Madras Cafe is miles ahead.

Back to Awesomeness but with small portions!
It was a trip back home, after being away from home for almost 2 years. Ramashraya was the first place to eat after getting back to Mumbai. The food was amazing as usual, but small portions and dearer to the pocket.
I ordered a single Idli and Onion Rava Mysore. Dosa was half the size they used to serve and I think 50 percent more pricey. Thank God the taste was the same. Ended up ordering another Mysore Sada dosa.
New interiors, with new upholstery on the chairs, the huge menu card on the wall has disappeared and made place for some portraits of Gods.
The Gods are on their side it seems.

Early bird catches the Idli
The most freshest and the luscious-est idli I have ever eaten. And the fact that it opens up as early as 0600 hours is cherry on the top.
Very minimalistic interiors, which you'd never associate with a restaurant in Mumbai. Like an old run-down Irani hangout with the only exception of serving piping hot (read soft as well) idlis with even more hotter sambar and delectable coconut chtuney.
The pax consist of mostly South Indians who set the alarm a little early (even on a weekend) to catch up the best South Indian fare ever served (at the price at which they offer).
After downing two plates of idlis, then it is time for the kanda poha - and woa, it's a sweet version of this so quintessentially Maharashtrian fare, and didnt I just love it. Never had had Kanda-poha with sambar and chatni, but it tasted totally delicious.
The filter kaapi is five star rated, and just gives you the right amount of kick to get on started with you day.
An amazing place, and would look to be here whenever I am in this part of the town, in the early hours of the morning, and am famished for a bite.
Kudos to Ram Ashraya !!! Hope your tribe increases. :) m/

We ordered 5 dishes which comprised of mysore masala and masala dosa,tomato rice and bissbelle bath and idli! and the bill was just Rs 127! Not only did we have a sumptuous meal but it was an absolute pleasure opting to go there. Truly, the beauty of this eatery lies in it's simplicity...Their know how to make their stuff,how to treat their customers and how to serve the right quantity! They of course have their own cons like there's no ambiance,the place is ever clattering with people and it's perpetually full,but you can't help ignore all of it and just focus on the food.I'm religiously their fan! way to go! :D

Fantastic South India Snacks
Ram Ashraya is a place I have been going to for over 25 years and it has some of the best South Indian snacks ever.
The Mysore Masala, Rava Dosa, Kela Bhajji and Goli Bhajji are must-have, as is the coffee. The traditional idli, vada and upma are great.
It is more than value for money!

fantastic !!
You just cant go wrong when it comes to Ram Ashraya.
I have reviewed a south indian joint which is near Ram Ashraya but the idil's and the mysore sada were just yummy to give that extra STAR.
The sambhar , chutney, Mulga pudi , Bissibele rice and the coffee was just perfect.
perfect service even though it was lunch time and was over crowded.
Must Visit if one is in Matunga.

Superb South Indian Food - Best Idlis I had
Went to Ram Ashray on the recommendation of a friend. Parking Can be a problem in this area. It is very close to Matunga Central Station and bang opposite Shri Sunders restaurant.
It is a very basic, non AC, udipi place, where you eat, savour and leave....no ambience, but the food makes up for it.
What I ate and my review on each -
Idlis - The best I have eaten yet - absolutely melt in the mouth
Mysore Dosa - Smeared nicely with red chutney, very very nice.
Rava Dosa - Again nice but not the best I have eaten. They add some raisins to it too.....I liked the difference.
Dahi Bhaat - superb , served with crisp red chillies , achaar and fried papad like stuff.
Rasam Vada - excellent melt in the mouth vadas and tangy rasam.
Neer Dosa - Tasted very nice but found it a bit too full of ghee for my liking.
There is unlimited supply of sambhar, red chutney, coconut chutney.
To top of the superbly tasty experience, we had a very friendly and eager to please waiter which made it very pleasant.
Also the prices are a steal......all between 15-25 Rs per dish !
Highly recommended place if you are a foodie and not into ambience.

Love thy Food!!
Ramashraya is on the corner opposite Kabuttar Khana in Matunga CR, near the station. It is always full. Never there is a dull moment when you will find it empty.
They serve the basic south indian fare- idli, medu wada, and dosas et all. Do try the Mysore Sada Dosa, Onion Rava Mysore Dosa, Rava Sada Dosa, Upma, Pineapple Sheera. Also try their filter coffee.
It is a very no nonsense restaurant, so don't expect great standards (crockery, crowd, etc), but their kitchen is one of the cleanest in the area and their food the best!
Very moderately priced, a good meal for two will set you back by Rs. 150.
It is open on all days except Monday from 5 am, check this place for super food after a long night of partying!!
Bon Appetit

Awesome South Indian stuff!
15 years! Yeah, that's how long I have been frequenting this place. My highpoints for this place...
i) Their IDLIS melt in the month
ii) Their DOSAS are piping hot and yummy
iii) The orange garlic chutney & the coconut sweet stuff they serve with their NEER DOSA are out of the world!
Though the ambience is very basic and seating is a problem at times, its all completely worth it once the food arrives!

Why I Love Pride
I marched with London Pride yesterday. It seemed necessary, after Orlando and Brexit. I love how the LGBT+ community stands up for the basic human rights it has had to insist on, still has to insist on. That they don't do it with a war, a fight, or even an argument — but with a party. Fierce and Fabulous For the community, Pride is a dress up and dance day that celebrates the wild, the weird, the edgy, the playful, the creative, the colorful and yes, the sexual. Onlookers can misunderstand. Because it's a party, we might make the mistake of thinking it's trivial. We might not get that this community…Continue reading


text: I'm in need of a new holster for my most recent gun purchase. I hate to say the word but I am on a ( budget ) this time. Between the cost of the gun and ordering Triji HD's the money is just not there. I actually had to sell some guns :frown: and other things to fund the new project. I'm trying to stay around $100.00 or so for both (holster and mag pouch), I know that's very low so that's why i'm asking here for ideas or suggestions. Does anyone know of decent leather for that price? If not how about a hybrid which if I'm correct that would be a leather/kydex combination. Also if I do have to go with a Hybrid what are your thoughts on them in general? Will the wear be worse on the frame than leather? I did find a sponsor that peaked my interest White Hat. They make a OWB holster (which I prefer) with the leather/kydex combination. Does anyone here on the forum own one of their holsters and what do you think about them? If it makes a difference it's for a G19 :danceban:. Thanks for any input on this.

Watson Continues to be Huge Asset from Bullpen
Image Courtesy Pittsburgh Pirates
PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Left-hander Tony Watson was called upon with one out, two runners on, and the tying run on second base in the eighth inning on Saturday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Looking calm and collected as the fans were on their toes at PNC Park, Watson struck out Matt Carpenter swinging on an 0-2 slider.
"It was a situation where you got to come in and get some weak contact, get a ground ball," Watson said. "That's the tying run on second base so looking to get early in the count, get the count in my favor. Fortunately it ended in a strikeout."
High-leverage situations like those are a common theme for the left-hander. Watson may not have a full season in the big leagues yet, but he's proving to be a valuable tool for Man...

Suu Kyi sees Myanmar parallels with Arab Spring
LONDON (Reuters) - Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi said there were "notable similarities" between December's revolution in Tunisia and the 1988 uprising in her own country that led to her original detention by military authorities.
Both rebellions started with small, apparently unimportant events that grew into national protests in pursuit of freedom, Suu Kyi said in a speech secretly recorded by Britain's BBC in Myanmar earlier this month and due to be broadcast on Tuesday.
But while Tunisia's revolution led to the overthrow of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and sparked a wave of upheavals across north Africa, Myanmar's student-led uprising was crushed by the military, she said.
"The Tunisian army did not fire on their people, the Burmese army did," said Suu Kyi, excluded from politics since she was first detained in 1989.
"The second (difference), and in the long-run probably the more important one, is that the Tunisian revolution enjoyed the benefits of the communications revolution.
"This not only enabled them to better organize and coordinate their movements. It kept the attention of the whole world firmly focused on them," said the 66-year-old Nobel laureate in a speech to be transmitted on BBC's Radio 4 channel.
"The Burmese are as excited by these events as peoples elsewhere ... The similarities between Tunisia and Burma are the similarities that bind people all over the world who long for freedom," she said.
Suu Kyi's linking of the two events is unlikely to please authorities in the country, also known as Burma, who released her from house arrest last November.
Her release came days after a pro-military party swept elections widely dismissed as unfair. Continued...

911 Tapes Released in Trayvon Martin Killing
Printable View
This topic has been closed twice all ready, as this link contains some more viable information, it's going to run, but keep topics on point and within the rules regarding flames and personal attacks.
I don't think it was murder, but some sort of homicide charge is definitely appropriate.
I would say from the evidence if I was om a jury I would have to say there was not enough evidence to refute his claim of self defense. And I would hate myself for that because I know this guy was responsible for the kids death. I believe he confronted the kid, a scuffle ensued, and Zimmerman didn't bother fighting back. He was taking this time drawing his weapon. That is why he was in a physical disadvantage because he wasn't fighting back.
And it has made me rethink the immunity of civil suits for justified shootings. He was responsibility started when he ignored the advice of the dispatcher and left his vehicle. His tone and comment caught on tape aout "they get away " tells me he was going to do what ever it took stop the kid. Unless some new evidence comes up that is how I am thinking.
Maybe not murder, but an easy conviction on the charge of being stupid.
I was on the fence on this until hearing these 911 tapes. Zimmerman's voice and manner are strange and chilling, as are the cries for help ending with a gunshot. I wonder if Z was tested for drugs or alcohol? He needs to be charged and brought to trial so that all the facts can come out. Maybe he had a legitimate fear for his life. However, if he is allowed to simply walk free it will provide the anti-gunner with a powerful propaganda tool.
BTW, I was gratified to see the many thoughtful comments on a previous thread on this subject.
It appears all the good witnesses opted to remain indoors, which comes as no surprise whatsoever. What I do find surprising is seeing that everything I have ever been led to believe regarding escalation toward deadly force and disparity of force seems to be false, at least in this particular jurisdiction.
This situation would probably be a lot different if Zimmerman were LEO, but the fact of the matter is that he's not. He had no reason to chase the kid, and IMO he had an obligation to just play the part of a good witness.
Premeditated murder? - no. Manslaughter, in my opinion yes. Zimmerman put himself purposefully into a position that aggravated the situation. He followed the guy. Everything in these calls tells me Zimmerman did everything he could to create a confrontation. Regardless of my opinion or any others members opinion we should take a lesson learned here. Be a good witness, but don't go looking for a fight. A simple call to 911 in this instance was enough to get police responding, a cruiser patrolling the area probably would have been enough to make anybody with less than honorable intentions move along.
waiting for it to come out on DVD
I am not taking a side on this issue, but I do want to point out that while the shouts for help may seem to be incriminating for Zimmerman, here is a case where a BG who was in the middle of an attempted rape, and was apparently planning to murder everyone in the house shouted "someone help me. Call the police. Someone call the police!" after he was shot by the GG...
College Student Shoots, Kills Home Invader | www.wsbtv.com
It's hard to say anything about this because everything I read seems to be biased or taken out of context. Strong opinions are formed on data that is misleading.
Fact: Zimmerman was not white
Fact: in his 911 call Zimmerman says Travyon was approaching with his hand in his waistband
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I listened to the tapes, and from what I heard, the one woman that called in tape 3 said she saw someone on top of a guy with a white tee shirt.
If Zimmerman was wearing a white tee shirt, it sounds as though the kid got the jump on him,,,could it have warranted drawing a pistol and firing???,,,,,,,
Its hard to imagine not being able to knee someone in the cojones, pummel their throat, and push them off of you, thereby at least giving you the opportunity to get up, and possibly get back from the situation, and then draw,,,,,,,
but I WASN'T THERE,,, I got nuthin'
I'm taking my chances in the middle of the road on this one, I think the odds are better!
Was george stupid for tailing the kid,,probably
How did the kid react when confronted,,,AND
How did George confront him?????
Too many what ifs and maybes here boys and girls.
I'd hate to be the DA.
Lots of questions, too few answers. The absence of eye witnesses and hearsay testimony will probably let the shooter walk. Trouble is, there is a lot of emotion as well as racial undertones which don't bode well for the shooter, the community or pro-gunners. Something doesn't smell right about the whole mess but it could easily get blown way out of control.
Just finished the audio files...
I agree we don't know what exactly happened, but there are a lot issues with what I heard...
1. Z should not have followed T
2. His comments and actions were wrong
3. Don't really know who was screaming... I am sure the families do.
I am going to leave it there, this is an unfortunate incident that could have been avoided, so Z is going to have to answer to that.

Bay windows on the first floor (and eventually on higher floors too) are common in 19th century civil architecture in Anatolia. In medium-sized and larger homes, the ground floor was organised as a 'service area' (depots, kitchen, residence of the staff, etc.). The 'harem' (= private living area for the owner's family), as well as the 'Selamlık' (reception room where male visitors were received) were located at the upper floors, beginning with the first floor.The main room of the 'harem', where the women of the household spend most of their free time, was generally located at the street side of the house, and often had such bay windows (called 'cumba' in Turkish). These windows were (almost always) equipped with wooden grills: the women could easily keep an eye on what was going on in the street, without being seen by (male) passers-by. So, the 'harem' – a closed and sacred area, when observed from the outside – appears to have had eyes that observed the outer world (and did so without its knowledge).Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.Source: 'Anadolu Mirasında Türk Evleri' (T.C. Kültür Bakanlığı) 1995.Some late-Ottoman houses have a single room on top of their upper floor. Called 'köşk odası' (= kiosk room), it is used in summer, and closed off in winter (because it has no fireplace). Their high position grant them an optimal ventilation, making even the hottest day heavenly.Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.Sources: 'Anadolu Mirasında Türk Evleri' (T.C.

Silvio Berlusconi gladly says "Forza Inter"
AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi caught everyone's attention when he stated "Forza Inter" on a recent radio interview.
The 76-year-old was speaking on RAI Radio 2's 'Un giorno da pecora' and directed the kind gesture towards the Rossoneri's cross town rivals, in a bid to show he is an impartial statesmen.
It must be seen to be believed, and can be found in the video at the bottom of the article.
The AC Milan president also commented on the possibility of seeing foreign investors at the Rossoneri.
"Never say never, maybe in the future we will be forced if the situation asks for it. If there is no need for it we are happy to keep AC Milan within the family."

When set up in RAID 0, the My Book Thunderbolt showed its top performance scoring some 168MBps when moving data over from the Pegasus R6, which is the fastest Thunderbolt storage device on the market to date. When I took the R6 out of the daisy chain and tested the My Book by itself, by copying data from one place to another within the drive, forcing it to do both reading and writing at the same time, it registered around 77MBps. Both of these numbers are faster than many other internal drives, but were slower than those of the LaCie 2big Thunderbolt.
Still in RAID 0, the My Book Thunderbolt scored 156MBps and 167MBps for writing and reading, respectively, when it tested against the MacBook's internal drive. These numbers were noticeably lower than those of the LaCie counterpart.
As expected, the My Book Thunderbolt performed worse in RAID 1. When coupled with the R6, it scored some 101MBps; when working by itself doing both writing and reading, it was just a measly 40MBps. These were the slowest on the charts, even slower than internal hard drives.
Still in RAID 1, when tested again the MacBook's internal drive, the My Book registered 108MBps for writing and 109MBps for reading, about the slowest among Thunderbolt devices but still significantly faster than non-Thunderbolt external storage devices, including those using USB 3.0 and eSATA.
Overall, however, the WD My Book Thunderbolt is still very fast and in most cases faster than you need. The drive also worked well in my testing and generated very little heat..

Service and support
The length of the warranty is the most important thing for storage devices, and Western Digital sort of delivers this time around. The company backs the My Book Thunderbolt Duo with a three-year warranty, which shorter than what it offers the My Book Studio Edition II. At the company's Web site, you'll find a section dedicated to the drive where you can find all you need in terms of support.
While among the slowest of the half a dozen Thunderbolt storage devices on the market, the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo still makes a very good choice for Thunderbolt-enabled Mac owners. The drive is faster than any non-Thunderbolt external storage devices on the market, has a flexible design, and costs significantly less than its peers.

I had an eye appointment the other day and as the nurse was taking vitals as such, one of the questions she asked was "What's was the range of your glucose readings in the last 30 days?"
I hate questions like that. Personally, I really think that question is pretty much meaningless in the Type 1 world. In 30 days, my glucose may go from 40 to 400 despite my best efforts.
So I said "oh, probably 40 to 400" and got a head shake at "how bad" those numbers were. It just irritated me & made me feel defensive so I said that my last A1c was X.X so my endo and I are happy with that. I also mentioned that there were things that can happen that are not entirely under my control. Things like the 15 or so different processes in your body that can affect glucose readings, only 3 or 4 of which I can really influence. Bad site, miscount carbs, hot weather and skunky insulin, WTF days… hell, just being human
You know what the nurse wrote in my record?
Type 1 diabetic, blood sugars fluctuate quite a bit per pt "as a type one diabetic" blood sugars "are not under our control".
Reading that, it seems like I am not even trying. JFC, I get tired of that crap. The uninitiated expect so much without even realizing it. I have plenty of self-esteem issues all on my own, I really don't need any help from any one else, thank you very much.
Listen, I'm about worn smooth at the moment. I try really hard to just let people do their jobs as I know they don't write these questions. I just don't think I'm going to answer it next time. I'm sure, they will pressure me to. I think I'll just say:
That's really a silly question, almost meaningless for a Type 1. The last 2 times I've answered it? I've gotten the "wow those aren't good numbers" reaction from you guys. I'm just not going to answer it today because judging me on that basis is insulting.

Picked up my X6 but...
I just picked up my 2012 X6 on 2/11. Noticed two small imperfections on the steering wheel leather. One at 12 o'clock and the other at 7, which were probably scratched during the delivery process. I notified my CA and basically the response was nothing can be done to repair the scratches short of replacing the steering wheel. The scratches are small but I can feel them while driving and am worried that they will get worse with time.
Not sure I want to replace the steering wheel...Any suggestions or thoughts?
:dunno:You spend $60K+ on the X6 and this is the best answer you get from the dealer???
Looks like they want to see if their leather guy can repair it first and take it form there...we will see. Thx!

'Man vs. Wild' star Bear Grylls fired by TV network
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bear Grylls, the British adventurer and star of survival show "Man vs. Wild", has been fired by U.S. cable television network Discovery Channel in a contract dispute.
Grylls, 37, who was dropped into hostile places to survive by eating insects, wading rapids and drinking his urine, has hosted the TV show since 2006, becoming a celebrity around the world.
But Discovery Channel said on Tuesday that "due to a continuing contractual dispute with Bear Grylls, Discovery has terminated all current productions with him."
A spokesman for Grylls said he and Discovery had been unable to reach agreement on new programming and had parted ways.
"Bear's goal has always been to make life-empowering shows for his many fans around the globe, and he has taken great risks to bring Discovery such award winning programming over seven seasons," said Heather Krug, publicist for the wilderness expert.
"Unfortunately, Bear and Discovery have not been able to come to mutual agreement on new programming, and he disagrees with Discovery's decision to terminate current productions. Bear has loved the 'Man vs. Wild' journey and looks forward to producing further cutting edge content again soon for his loyal audience."
The details of the dispute were unclear but trade publication The Hollywood Reporter quoted industry sources as saying it revolved around two unannounced projects for which Grylls was contracted.
The sixth and most recent season of "Man Vs. Wild" was broadcast on Discovery in July and August 2011. It featured one episode in which Grylls was joined in a remote part of Iceland by actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
Other episodes have seen Grylls dropped by parachute into jungles and deserts, surviving for days by eating snakes, sleeping in snow holes and wrapping a urine-soaked t-shirt around his head to combat dehydration. Continued...
