Pilocarpus pennatifolius is known, along the Amazon river, as jaborandi. In English, we call it by a translation of that word; "slobber weed." It does exactly what it says.
In Brazil, it is occasionally taken to bring on sweat and to cure dry mouth. It certainly does the latter. Someone who chomps down on slobber weed is sometimes forced to bend with their head over a bucket as they bring up pints of saliva. They drool continuously for hours. Some have to be kept hydrated by doctors.
People used to think that this was the result of irritation to the mouth that was flushed by saliva. Actually, slobber weed hacks your parasympathetic nervous system. Tears, urination, digestion, and even sexual arousal are known to be associated with the secretion of liquids. The parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of that. It takes charge, in part, with the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This is remarkably similar – as far as the nervous system is concerned – to the alkaloid pilocarpine, which resides in slobber weed. Once the weed is ingested, the body reacts as if the parasympathetic nervous system has issued an insistent command to produce drool.
This plant occasionally freaks out horse owners, as sometimes horses will eat some of the weed and drool for days. Although it might be pleasurable to contemplate adding a bit of slobber weed to someone's dish, things can get more serious than just sweating and drool. Dizziness, nausea, and prolonged sickness can also kick in. Perhaps it's best to just know your power over others without using it.

BULB-VAC with 3/8" diameter ESD-Safe Conductive Silicone vacuum cup.
Our vacuum-bulb type tools are the lowest cost pick-and-place tools available. These tools operate very similar to a tweezer. Simply squeeze the vacuum bulb, place the soft suction cup to the part to be handled, then relax your squeeze and the part is firmly gripped. A second squeeze releases the part.
Applications for this tool include SMT parts, metal parts, plastic parts or any item having a smooth-nonporous-surface that the rubber vacuum tweezer tip can seal against. This tool can be used with any of our rubber vacuum cups ranging in size from 3/8" (9.53mm) to 3/4" (19.05mm) in diameter. Use the larger cups to pick up larger and heavier parts. For better precision in part placement see our PEN-VAC or PEN-VAC PRO-Series self contained vacuum pens.

Steve Cavenee necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 185 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
1-800-321-SELL.com - that's the name of the company, our phone number and our website!
I'm a real estate "transactional engineer" who specializes in solving 'game-changing' problems for people going through one of life's most difficult moments, i.e., losing their home due to circumstances beyond their control, such as a death in the family, divorce, job loss, etc. I've always had a heart for helping the guy who life has kicked around. As a result I've endeavored to create an oasis for the down-and-outer, offering unique solutions to empower those who wish to keep their homes, and exit strategies for those who desire the freedom to move on to their next challenge.
The Logo you'll be helping to create should appeal to the middle class homeowner.
I intend to attract a large list of people who are looking for friendly and courteous solutions to their most challenging real estate problems. My clients respect me for my professional approach and appreciate my simple, yet creative solutions. They're often skeptical by the time they get to me, and so I strive to create an inviting, yet professional atmosphere where we both can feel at ease, working together towards a creative solution that best suits their situation.
I've attached a sketch of one possibility of what I have in mind. These are the elements which I believe should be taken into account when contemplating the design:
1. Inviting – A key component to my advertising will be street signs. Many times, the potential client will only have three or four seconds to catch the message. It has to 'suck them in' right away.
2. Whimsical (somewhat) – since I'm appealing to distressed homeowners who need to sell fast, I want them to feel like this is going to be easy, with even a subconscious leaning towards 'fun'. The hope is that when they see my logo it will take their mind off of the seriousness of their situation.
3. Professional – My clients need to feel that they can trust me. I would like the logo to portray a similar 'feeling' to the Real Estate Investor.com logo.
4. Memorable – The logo/name has to be simple enough to remember until they get to a place where they can write it down; and they have to get it right the first time!
5. Color – I would like to use red, yellow and green. Furthermore, I would like to capitalize on the 'countdown' aspect of the prefix, 3-2-1, creating a sense of direction as well as urgency; hence the idea to use a traffic signal. I'm not insisting that a traffic signal be a part of the logo graphic, but it's what came to mind as I initially sat down to consider the project.
Thanks & good luck!

Palestine To Adopt Chilean Private Pension Model
Hashim Shawa, the head of the Bank of Palestine, says that in 2012 Palestine will adopt the private pension system that Chile pioneered 30 years ago and has exported throughout the world. As you can see from the map below, it will become the second Arab territory after Egypt to do so. Of course, the devil is in the details, and for the reform to be as successful as it has been in Chile, Palestine should introduce a whole set of complimentary economic reforms. But if done right, at least in this regard Palestinians will be ahead of almost all of their neighbors, including Israel.

Indian Tech Firms Diversify
The move by Infosys to acquire a British consultancy is another sign of Indian service firms moving up the value chain.
The $750 million purchase of British consultancy Axon Group by Infosys Technologies, announced in August, was the latest sign that the Indian technology industry is entering a new stage of maturity.
The size of the deal, one of the biggest foreign acquisitions by a subcontinental technology firm, made it notable. But more important is the nature of the acquired company, which specializes in SAP implementations. Infosys, long a provider of basic technology services and outsourcing, wants to move up the value chain into more sophisticated markets. Other major Indian tech companies are expected to follow its lead.
One reason for the push into consulting is a slowdown in the industry's growth. Revenues are projected to increase by 20 percent annually, a hot pace that nonetheless represents a sharp decline from past performance. Some of that deceleration is caused by cyclical issues, such as turmoil in the global financial business--a major customer of India's outsourcers--and the weak dollar. But there are also signs of deeper challenges, including competition from other countries able to compete on cost, especially as wages in India are rising.
One way forward for India's tech giants is the development of new products and services--hence, the interest in Axon and a focus on the lucrative software development business. According to NASSCOM, the Indian technology trade group, "The next decade will play a crucial role in bringing about disruptive growth for the Indian software product segment."
But the industry has a long way to go before it can leave its relatively low-margin past behind. IT outsourcing ($23.1 billion) and business process outsourcing ($10.9 billion) still dwarf software and other products ($6.4 billion) in terms of current revenues for Indian companies.

The thriving little city of Punta Gorda enjoys a pleasant year-round climate, relaxed lifestyle, and many recreational opportunities. Holiday rentals in this town are abundant and varied, offering comfortable holiday houses for large families as well as condos and villas for couples and smaller groups. The friendly hospitality, year-round planned activities, shuffle board courts, great restaurants, golfing, fishing, and miles of sandy beaches make Punta Gorda an ideal holiday destination.
Fully furnished holiday villas offer the finest in rental accommodations. Your holiday villa will serve as a home base when you take a trip to nearby Cayo Costa, a favorite spot of the locals. Snooze in an oak palm hammock on a pristine beach, or explore the mangrove swamps and marvel at the stunning bird life. Rent a waterfront home where you can fish and boat and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. The shelling here is about the best that there is.
Leave your holiday rental for the day to experience the most interesting waterfront complex-Fisherman's Village. Here you will find a conglomerate of unique shops and restaurants. Look no further for all your holiday needs including boats, jet skis, and bicycles for rent. For the avid camper there is nothing quite like the Babcock Wilderness Adventures, which offers eco tours through acres of swamps, trails, and wildlife. Take a Swamp Buggy Tour through Telegraph Cypress Swamp. Be enthralled by the variety of flora and fauna. Keep a lookout for elusive panthers, bison, exotic tropical birds, and alligators.
Once you emerge from the swamps, take a deep-sea fishing excursion in the Gulf of Mexico. Some companies offer sightseeing cruises to the outer islands, including full and half-day cruises. Enjoy a romantic sunset cruise, and be amazed at the most beautiful sunsets in Florida. If you want to stick close to your holiday rental, try a round of Golf at the Punta Gorda Country Club semiprivate 18-hole, par 72 golf course. This tree-lined green boasts open fairways and great views. There is a driving range and pro shop, and rental clubs are available.
Don't go back to your rental home too early. At night, you should get out and sample some of the best fresh local cuisine. Offerings range from stew chicken and stew pork to whole fried snapper and snook filets. Restaurants range from open-air, thatch-roof structures to small romantic and upscale dining establishments.
Whether you enjoy a game of shuffleboard, an invigorating swim in the pool at your holiday rental, a game of bridge, or a recital at the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, you will come away with amazing memories of your Punta Gorda holiday, and you'll be eager to get a rental home here again.

The U.S. Drought Monitor is produced in partnership between the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The maps, which are based on analysis of the data, are released each Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time."

For all you or I know, Satan aka the Prince Darkness aka The Devil aka Mephistopheles aka Beelzebub has given $4 million to support Prop 32.
Do I know this for a fact? No, all I know is that someone or something not disclosing the source of its money has given big to Prop 32. (Even the Sacramento Bee's intrepid Dan Morain couldn't figure out the money's source.)
But is it unfair for me to suggest that Satan is the source?
U.S. & World
Not in the least. Such speculation is perfectly appropriate. Even civic minded.
Because when people want to influence your vote in elections, and they won't tell you who they are and where their money comes from, the best strategy is to assume the worst.
There is a big debate going on now in political and legal circles about campaign disclosure. For years, conservatives argued against complex campaign finance limits -- and argued for disclosure. But now, many of those limits have been stripped away, and conservatives are arguing against disclosure.
They may be right. A country with a First Amendment like ours may not be able to demand disclosure of political donors. At least that's what the courts may decide. But that doesn't mean that those who choose not to disclose shouldn't pay a political price. They should.
And the price should be especially high when it comes to ballot initiatives.
In initiatives, voters aren't merely choosing a representative. They are approving legislation themselves -- making new laws, or in some cases, doing something more serious: amending the constitution.
A campaign that accepts secret donations, as Prop 32 did, should be highly suspect. The Devil could even be behind it.

Samsung and Apple executives will sit down and discuss a possible end to their patent wars.
The two mobile tech behemoths are scheduled for a courtroom discussion about a possible patent settlement starting May 21, according to court documents. Both Apple's Tim Cook and Samsung's Gee-Sung Choi, as well as lawyers for both firms, will meet May 21 and 22 in San Francisco, according to PCMag.
Both companies have to come up with a settlement statement by May 9 with their views on settling and other pertinent details. Florian Mueller, a patent blogger noted that Magistrate Judge Spero asked both companies to give "a candid evaluation of the parties' likelihood of prevailing on the claims and defenses," and is adamant about the emphasis on "candid" being placed by the judge, not him. Mueller also expressed serious doubts about both companies being willing to play nice.
Samsung and Apple agreed to the settlement talks earlier this month. If neither party agrees to a settlement it goes to trial in late July.
It would be to both companies' benefits to end the patent fight, because they rely on each other to make much of their money. Their symbiotic relationship is necessary. Without Samsung making parts for Apple and Samsung getting paid to do so, neither would likely be as profitable as they are today.

First three ingredients are named meat products.
Minimum acceptable meat content, use of low quality grain and controversial filler.
The first three ingredients in the food are named meat products. The first two, however, are inclusive of water content, once this is removed as it must be to make a dry food, the ingredients will weigh around 20% of their wet weight. It is thus very unlikely that these are the true first ingredients in the food, and it is more likely that they would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list.
The true first ingredient in the food is chicken meal. There are further meat meal ingredients (turkey, menhaden fish) 7th & 8th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down for the ingredients to make a substantial contribution to the meat content of the food. Salmon meal is also amongst the minor ingredients. We find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they are using solely ethoxyquin-free ingredients in their food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is believed to be carcinogenic).
The third ingredient and major grain in the food is brewers rice. This is a very low quality grain and a by-product. The fourth ingredient is barley, a good quality grain that we appreciate is whole. Oat groats (oats with hulls removed) and potatoes are also good quality ingredients.
Beet pulp is controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We appreciate the range of fruits and vegetables included in the food, and a range of probiotics. We would prefer the use of whole egg rather than egg product.

Charlie Brooker Has Snow Reporting Down to a Hilarious Science
The "SnOMGpocalypse of Death" today has us thinking of the BBC commentator's hilarious meta take on how the news networks report on disastrous weather—namely snow. It's a clever dissection of scare tactics, the word "treacherous," and people falling.
Brooker's dispatch, which may be a little heavy on the Britishisms for all those fat Americans who don't know the different between a biscuit and a cookie, takes a keen and satirical look at how the British news media handled the coverage of their recent spate of storms in January. If you substitute some of these news figures with Katie Couric, Al Roker, and Anderson Cooper in his prissy parka, you'll have just what the nightly news is going to look like this evening. If you think the above is funny, check out his brilliant "How to Report the News" below. You'll never watch another Nightline segment without thinking of it. Speaking of Nightline, whoever thought it was a good idea to import Martin Bashir needs to get this guy on American TV ASAP.

It's not every day you find a bear in your back yard.
And it's certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience to find one taking a dip in your hot tub.
Jenny Sue Rhoades found the black bear swimming in her hot tub two miles from Wekiwa Springs State Park in Florida.
Surprise: The black bear was caught swimming in a family's hot tub last week just two miles from Wekiwa Springs State Park
Cooling off: The bear broke through the screen and decided to have a rest in the family hot tub
She told WFTV that she never turns on her hot tub in the summer because no one uses it – that was until last Friday morning when she looked out her window and a black bear was in the backyard.
She said: 'I should have yelled at him for leaving dirty paw prints around the spa. I went in my office and I got my camera, by the time I came back out his nose was pushed up against the screen.
She said the bear then broke the pool screen, climbed through and started drinking the water in the spa and even though she yelled at the bear, he ignored her.
Gone again: As quickly as he arrived he left again after quenching his thirst
Mike Orlando, Florida Fish and Wildlife officer, told WFTV: 'Once it gets to that point there are things where we may have to actually have to come and get the bear.'
Florida Fish and Wildlife said there are roughly 3,000 bears in Florida and their population is growing. There are so many black bears in the state they are even considering taking them off the threatened species list.
Roy Lukman, a Longwood resident, said he sees bears about once a week and will only walk in the daylight for fear of being attacked
He said: 'It will come across between just exactly where that sign is.
'People have told me that he won't hurt you and things like that. I am still keeping my distance.'
Florida Fish and Wildlife said that getting bear resistant trash cans and only putting out the trash in the morning of pick-up day will help prevent occurrences with bears.

ONETIME- Naked buyer: She found her dream house
One time, I got a call from a guy who was working and couldn't look at houses personally, so he was letting his wife narrow down their choices to just a couple. When she had finally chosen, he would race down, and we'd make a deal. That all sounded great to me: real estate agents like deals that move quickly and people who have to have housing in a hurry.
So I picked this woman up at her husband's workplace, and she was pretty flashily dressed, but it was 10 o'clock in the morning. It was fine with me. We went from house to house, and nothing was quite right.
Then we found one that she liked very much which had a really nice master bath with a Jacuzzi. And she said, "Oh, we have a Jacuzzi in our house that we just sold. The problem was it was so big and we had a small hot water heater, and I could never get enough hot water in it to really use it properly."
She said, "I like this house a lot. Do you think that you could fill this up with hot water?" I said, "I think so. Turn it on– we'll find out."
She turned on the tub, it's filling up, and she said, "Do you think it would be okay if I used the bathroom?" And I said, "Sure." So she shut the door and I was in the house somewhere. And a few minutes later, she said, "Come on up. I think it works fine."
And I went up and she was naked in the Jacuzzi.
I'll never forget this– it looked like a movie shoot– she had on a leopard fur coat, which was strewn across the bathroom floor. She was in the tub. I nervously said, "What do you think of the tub?" She said, "It's perfect! We'll take it!" And I said, "That's good. I'll meet you downstairs." And they bought the house.
On a more serious note, most of my colleagues across the country are women in this business. It's been a very, very common thing for many, many years. And it's a little different situation because I was a man, but it's really important if you're out showing a house, particularly a vacant house, by yourself with just one other person, safety needs to be an important factor. We talk about it often here in sales meetings. I'll often go on appointments with my female realtors to be more careful. This applies just as much to potential buyers: don't visit a house alone.
I've been doing this for 27 years, and I've been bitten by a dog and fallen through a ceiling in an attic, but I think that was the funniest thing that ever happened to me.

Developing Story Structure With Paper-Bag Skits
|6 – 8
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Five 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Cookeville, Tennessee
In this lesson, students will engage in an interactive activity that will enhance their understanding of story structure and story elements. After the teacher models the process of developing a plot, students work in cooperative groups to create semi-impromptu skits. Paper bags containing five unique props are distributed to each group; these props provide the impetus for the development of creative skits. Students then use online tools to outline the story elements in their skits. The lesson also promotes listening skills and critical thinking as students view other groups' performances and determine the conflict and resolution of each.
|Drama Map: This feature helps students map out and label specific parts of the text as character, conflict, resolution, and setting.
|Plot Diagram: This feature allows students to place events in a story in a plot diagram to help them analyze the story.
Schneider, J.J., & Jackson, S.A.W. (2000). Process drama: A special space and place for writing. The Reading Teacher, 54(1), 3851.

Clint Eastwood is unveiling the secrets of the 20th Century's master secret-keeper in his new film "J. Edgar" starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the original FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. And the iconic actor-director opens up his own dossier about making the film for PopcornBiz, and reveals why he thinks he's still in his prime.
On how he viewed J. Edgar Hoover as a public figure growing up:
"I just had my own impressions growing up with Hoover as a heroic figure in the 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond – but this was all prior to the Information Age, so we didn't know about Hoover except what was usually in the papers, And this was fun, because this was a chance to go into it. It was fun to delve into a character that you'd heard about all your life but you never really knew and try to sort that out. We never knew too much about any of his close confidants, but through researching, that was what was fun about making the movie: you get to learn something about people. And then watching the other actors and everybody – we're all just kind of learning history, or putting our stamp on history, our interpretation of it. Sure, a lot of things probably didn't happen exactly the way they happen in this film, but they're pretty close."
U.S. & World
On "J. Edgar's" decidedly non-linear structure and unreliable protagonist:
"It was an interesting way to go back and forth in time and show him and his present day attitude, and how he was when he was younger and just starting out, with all kinds of vinegar and ready to roll. I think we stuck pretty well with the formula and it seemed clever to me. By the same token, it helped to justify all these characters. Hoover, I'm sure, felt that he was right in everything he did, and even the things that we don't like about his character. Everybody always feels that they're right even if they're wrong, and that's what a whole actor's career is built around: rationalizing your way into whatever character you're playing."
On his observations about people in power:
"With people in high office, [it's] the old adage: they go into the extreme of absolute power and absolute power corrupts. So there's always the corrupting thing with [Hoover's] 48-year stint as the director of the Bureau of Investigation. And because he formed it all and he had the trust of various executives along the way, they just relied on him and nobody could remove him. We at least approached it from that way. There are so many parallels in society today that you can use – whether it's the head of studio, an organization, a major newspaper, a major factory or company – of people who stay too long, maybe, and overstay their usefulness."
On reports that the FBI was less than enchanted with the film's controversial depiction of its iconic first director:
"I have great respect for the FBI, and I knew there have been some rumors lately that the FBI was disenchanted because of what we were doing in the story, or doing a certain take: that's not true. Actually, the FBI was tremendously enthusiastic about us doing this film. They didn't read the script, though. They know nothing about it. Their philosophy is 'Go ahead and make the story you want to make, and hopefully we'll love it.' So that's that."
On his reputation as a director who requires minimal takes:
"What I do is 'Whatever it takes, it takes.' Sometimes you see a scene right away and a take looks great, so you might print that. And you might print a couple more and take elements of all three. It just depends. You're looking for the highlights. You're looking for the best elements of the scene, but preferably you'd like to have one good take that would go all the way through. But I'm always trying for it on the first take. That was Don Siegel's favorite thing: He says 'I may not get it but I'm always trying for it.' I've got this reputation for shooting one take, which is a wonderful reputation to have but it's hard to live up to. If I did it, it would be kind of shoddy, I think."
On his decision to return to acting again for "Trouble With the Curve" after suggesting that "Gran Torino" might be his last on-screen apprearance:
"I could say boredom. Actually, it's kind of based on material. I'd been trying to retire to the back of the camera for quite a few years. And then in 1970, when I first started directing, I said 'You know, if I could pull this off, I can some day just move in back of the camera and stay there.' I never was able to pull it off, because somebody offered me a role. Once and a while they come up with a grumpy old men thing and they say "Okay, let's get Eastwood for that." So we'll see. Every once and a while somebody writes a script – but regardless of what age you are, most actors would all agree that it's all based upon material and the material has got to spark with you. It may be great material, but you think it's great material for somebody else. Or it's great material and I'm perfect for it. So you just have to make that judgment and feel in the mood to do it."
On keeping his Hollywood career going strong at age 81:
"I think aging, so far, has been okay. I think it's been good. A lot of people regret [it], because we live in a society that reveres being at the prime of life and everything, but you have certain primes at certain times, and mine happens to be, I think, now. I think I am doing better at certain things right now than I have in the past, and maybe not so good at others."
"J. Edgar" opens in limited release today. It opens to a wider national audience this Friday.

The definition of goodnessJanuary 30, 2011 — Deacon Duncan
Let's start with an analogy: a river flowing across the countryside. Where the slope is nearly flat, the river meanders, wandering here and there according to the influence of various local factors. Where the slope is more pronounced, the river follows a definite course. With a bit of effort, a primitive farmer can use the river for irrigation. Lacking any kind of pump, though, he's going to find that not all attempts to harness the river will be successful, and that the most successful approaches all have one factor in common: remembering that water flows downhill.
Morality is like the river, in that there are some circumstances where it is fairly easy to make it become what we want it to be, as well as other circumstances where, do what we will, the "water" is going to follow its natural downhill flow. But if morality is like the river, then what is the landscape that shapes its natural course, and what force of "gravity" pulls it downhill? That one is a little more complicated to explain.

Until the 1980s fade from living memory, there will be cars kitted out with Ferrari Testarossa side-streaks. There could be worse candidates for the job than a slightly dilapidated Fiat Uno Turbo.
The Uno was the Testarossa's contemporary, introduced a year before Ferrari updated its Berlinetta Boxer to create one of the major visual landmarks of the '80s. It's one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's most iconic designs, a deceptively simple boxlike structure which still manages to ooze Italian style. From 1985 on, it came with something very special under the hood: a 1.3-liter turbocharged inline four making 105 hp. That may only be 27% of a Testarossa's 390 hp flat-12, but the Uno is light enough to not need more.
At barely over 1,500 pounds, a swift wind could propel it just fine—the ferocious spring winds of Budapest, where this car was photographed, could propel it all the way to Giugiaro HQ.
Black, red, and gold may be more German than Italian but it works great on the Turbo. The outside-mounted tire weight is a great touch.
That rearview mirror is so '80s Ferrari. Or maybe it's the other way around?
Invisible Abarth!
Maybe, just maybe, that front arch extension combined with a front splitter is too much.
This particular Uno was parked a block from Budapest's most famous high school, whose graduates gave us, among other things, the Manhattan Project, the H-bomb, and the State of Israel.

Festivities of San Roque
This town, washed by the Mandeo river and its tributary, the Mendo, celebrates numerous fairs and trade shows throughout the year. Betanzos was named "Brigantium" by the Romans. The town sits on a hill where there used to be a hill-fort, on the mouth of the Betanzos estuary, where sea mixes with the freshwaters of the Mandeo and Mendo rivers. It was one of the seven capitals of the Old Kingdom of Galicia, and it was declared a Historic-Artistic Site. Three Gothic churches lend it its character: Santiago, Santa María do Azogue and San Francisco. The latter has the most fascinating medieval sarcophagi, such as the tomb of Pérez de Andrade, held up by two animals that symbolise his lineage: the wild boar and the bear. Also remarkable are the "pazos" (Galician country house) of Bendaña, Taboada, and Lanxós tower, as well as a surprising park named "O pasatempo", whose makers, who had emigrated to America, where ahead of their time and of the concept of modern theme park. In Betanzos we can try the local wine, light and fruity, served in rustic establishments whose only emblem is a bay branch above the door.

The TMS320C64x DSPs (including the TMS320C6414, TMS320C6415, and TMS320C6416 devices) are the highest-performance fixed-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000 DSP platform. The TMS320C64x (C64x) device is based on the second-generation high-performance, advanced VelociTI very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) architecture (VelociTI.2 developed by Texas Instruments (TI), making these DSPs an excellent choice for multichannel and multifunction applications. The C64x is a code-compatible member of the C6000 DSP platform.
With performance of up to 5760 million instructions per second (MIPS) at a clock rate of 720 MHz, the C64x devices offer cost-effective solutions to high-performance DSP programming challenges. The C64x DSPs possess the operational flexibility of high-speed controllers and the numerical capability of array processors. The C64x DSP core processor has 64 general-purpose registers of 32-bit word length and eight highly independent functional unitstwo multipliers for a 32-bit result and six arithmetic logic units (ALUs) with VelociTI.2 extensions. The VelociTI.2 extensions in the eight functional units include new instructions to accelerate the performance in key applications and extend the parallelism of the VelociTI architecture. The C64x can produce four 16-bit multiply-accumulates (MACs) per cycle for a total of 2880 million MACs per second (MMACS), or eight 8-bit MACs per cycle for a total of 5760 MMACS. The C64x DSP also has application-specific hardware logic, on-chip memory, and additional on-chip peripherals similar to the other C6000 DSP platform devices.
The C6416 device has two high-performance embedded coprocessors [Viterbi Decoder Coprocessor (VCP) and Turbo Decoder Coprocessor (TCP)] that significantly speed up channel-decoding operations on-chip. The VCP operating at CPU clock divided-by-4 can decode over 600 7.95-Kbps adaptive multi-rate (AMR) [K = 9, R = 1/3] voice channels. The VCP supports constraint lengths K = 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, rates R = 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, and flexible polynomials, while generating hard decisions or soft decisions. The TCP operating at CPU clock divided-by-2 can decode up to forty-three 384-Kbps or seven 2-Mbps turbo encoded channels (assuming 6 iterations). The TCP implements the max*log-map algorithm and is designed to support all polynomials and rates required by Third-Generation Partnership Projects (3GPP and 3GPP2), with fully programmable frame length and turbo interleaver. Decoding parameters such as the number of iterations and stopping criteria are also programmable. Communications between the VCP/TCP and the CPU are carried out through the EDMA controller.
The C64x uses a two-level cache-based architecture and has a powerful and diverse set of peripherals. The Level 1 program cache (L1P) is a 128-Kbit direct mapped cache and the Level 1 data cache (L1D) is a 128-Kbit 2-way set-associative cache. The Level 2 memory/cache (L2) consists of an 8-Mbit memory space that is shared between program and data space. L2 memory can be configured as mapped memory or combinations of cache (up to 256K bytes) and mapped memory. The peripheral set includes three multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSPs); an 8-bit Universal Test and Operations PHY Interface for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Slave [UTOPIA Slave] port (C6415/C6416 only); three 32-bit general-purpose timers; a user-configurable 16-bit or 32-bit host-port interface (HPI16/HPI32); a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) [C6415/C6416 only]; a general-purpose input/output port (GPIO) with 16 GPIO pins; and two glueless external memory interfaces (64-bit EMIFA and 16-bit EMIFB), both of which are capable of interfacing to synchronous and asynchronous memories and peripherals.
The C64x has a complete set of development tools which includes: an advanced C compiler with C64x-specific enhancements, an assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a Windows debugger interface for visibility into source code execution.

1. Either block or unfriend him on Facebook, because that stuff will be the death of you. Maybe you assume you are a reasonable and mature lady-human who can handle seeing the occasional reminder of him on your Facebook timeline. You're both grown-ups, right?! What's a little "David's Birthday Bar Crawl!" action popping up on your feed? Noooo. There will be a really pretty redhead in his arms in every picture, and you will feel like you want to jump into Buffalo Bill's abandoned well girl-trap in The Silence of The Lambs.
2. Don't immediately suggest to "stay friends"—and if he does, tell him you need to think about it. This is an impulse because you don't want to seem like you care too much about the breakup. Because you're so chill. You're so chill that your heart isn't beating. Aaand, you're dead. But truthfully, during this stilted, awkward breaking-up period, it's hard to tell whether you'll be able to be friends or not. Generally, one person wants to be friends and the other wants to be more. Gotta work that shit out before it can be a healthy friendship … if it ever can be. You're not admitting defeat by not staying friends with him.
3. If you feel an impulse to get drunk alone, call some friends instead. It's the worst being alone and sad and drunk. When you've just broken up with someone, you get all nihilistic, and because there is probably not a Hot Topic near you to get some KoRn CDs, you get too hammered to see and wind up hooking up with a 50-year-old married man with a ponytail in a bar bathroom. At least be sad with people you love! We've all been heartbroken: It's not like they'll judge you for drinking wine with dirty hair in Family Guy pajamas.
Related: The 10 Best Breakup Books
4. If you want to drunk-text, get your friend to take your phone away or throw it in a volcano. Oh, the number of times I have drunk-texted something cryptic to an ex at 2 A.M. and assumed if he texts back, he still has feelings for me. Drunk-texting an ex is a two-steps-forward-one-step-back slide down the rabbit hole. Him replying, "nothing," to your booze-fueled, "sup," does not mean you'll have a spring wedding.
5. Begin some kind of intense, rage-based workout routine. Maybe this isn't a good time for yoga! Maybe it's a good time for something new, like kickboxing. Really get some of that negative stuff out.
6. Spend a lot of time outside. It's a cliché, but fresh air really does clear your head. So does, you know, seeing the sun every once in a while. Take at least two hours from each day just to leave your Cave of Forgotten Dreams and interact with The Outside.
7. Rebound with one incredibly hot guy, if that's what you want, and then give yourself some time to decompress and remember who you are. Go out and get yourself something strange from a guy who is either a King of Leon or just has dirty hair. It's hard to tell the difference. But then slow down and be low-key for a while. If you've had one rebound, you've had them all, in this woman's opinion.
8. If you start dating someone else, take it really slow. Dude. You just ended a relationship and your heart flipped over and exploded like a tanker in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. If you take it step by step and enjoy it as a casual thing for a while, that'll give you some time to evaluate whether you're actually ready to be with someone again or if you're just ready to have really hot sex with them in an elevator once in a while.
9. Allow yourself to cry when you need to. Thus preventing a giant tidal wave of #feels to wash over you in the workplace, or the DMV, or anywhere else inappropriate. If you don't, you'll repress your feelings until you break down in the office pantry while you're microwaving your pasta and that passive-aggressive asshole Susan comes over and takes you to the women's bathroom and murmurs a bunch of vaguely religious-sounding proverbs like, "This too shall pass." And then every time you and Susan make contact afterward, it will be weird.
10. If you get a Facebook invite to his best friend's party...stay home, put a face mask on, eat Chinese, and watch House of Cards. There is always a strong temptation to show up with a fresh blow out and a low-cut J.Lo Grammys dress, and grind with his friend that you hate just to make him jealous. Eat your heart out, you think to yourself as you do a nasty seventh grade dance grind with the guy you once referred to as a "dicksnack tool moron." Actually, assuming his best friend is some guy you don't really care about, going to that party still makes it all about him—not your emotional well-being. And seeing him will just pick the scab open.
11. Don't scheme to get him back: Scheme to get yourself back. Get some solid book recs, join a pickup sports game, go on a trip somewhere with a girlfriend. Paint your bathroom; I don't care. Just do something for yourself.
12. Write him heartbroken letters and never send them. Get it all out, on paper, so as to avoid accidentally sending them. (E is for the "extremely messed up way you treated me." R is for "the rage I feel." I is for "I will never love again." C is for "I HATE YOU, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME." Sent from email@example.com.) I bet that's how Alanis Morissette wrote "You Oughta Know."
13. Avoid posting the details on Facebook. Or Twitter. Or Instagram. Or Tumblr. Live ya life! Airing your grievances on social media is not good for anyone, and it'll be embarrassing later. Who's gonna read it, anyway? Aunt Maggie? That girl you met during Welcome Week?
14. Take baths. Baths are half wallowing and half cleansing/pampering, and thus are perfect for breakups. When's the last time you really filled up your tub (clean it first, please) and had a good soak with a glass (bottle) of wine? Showers are not for the recently dumped.
15. Stop blaming yourself and thinking things like, "If only I'd watched more 'Bourne' movies/dyed my hair blonde/was cooler." It takes two to break up: The problem wasn't just you, it was you two as a couple. It's almost reverse-narcissistic to blame yourself that much! If you try to look at the relationship from the outside, maybe you'll have an easier time seeing how you both contributed to the breakup. "If only" killed the dinosaurs. (Actually an asteroid did, but let's not quibble.)

Week Five
There are frequent pleasant surprises in the capitol. On Monday morning shortly after eight, with only four people in the chamber, we heard the sounds of a choir singing God Bless America wafting in. We followed it out to the Rotunda and found a high school choir singing from the floor below. The sound under the golden dome was beautiful. They sang three songs, concluding with America the Beautiful. There were but a handful of people there to hear the choir of about 25 students. It's moments like this that remind me of what a special and beautiful building this is, the People's House. I later found out that the choir director is the daughter of State Auditor Mary Mosiman.
This week has been marked by heavy subcommittee and committee activity as we work to get bills through committee before the "Funnel" date of Friday, Feb. 21. After that date bills that have not made it through committee will not be considered unless they are appropriations or ways and means bills. We also began debate on bills on the floor of the House this week, passing nine bills on to the Senate.

Sex Offender - I had two bills drafted that deal with sex offenders. One deals with making it a harassment charge if a person attempts to entice a child with gifts, etc. against the wishes of a parent. This bill was filed but after extended discussions with the Judiciary chair, it will not likely move through committee this year. The difficulty is in wording such a bill so as to not ensnare innocent persons. The second attempts to require convicted sex offenders from other states to register on the Sex Offender Registry whenever they move into the state or within the state for life. I will be attempting to amend this bill to another bill dealing with other requirements for sex offenders that another Representative is working on.
Lemon Law HF 2181 - My bill that increases the vehicles subject to the Lemon Law from those under 10,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) to 15,000 lbs. GVW has passed through the Transportation committee and is now eligible for debate and vote on the floor of the House next week.
Insurance Restitution HF 2050 - My bill from last year to allow judges to order a criminal to repay the full amount of loss even if it is covered by insurance has been assigned to the Judiciary committee and is in subcommittee.
Race Haulers as Non-Commercial Vehicles HF 2158 - My bill that specifies that a vehicle or vehicle/trailer combination that is under 26,001 lbs. GVW should not be defined as a commercial vehicle simply because there is prize money and sponsors involved will likely be amended to another bill that deals with a similar subject. It is common to combine bills for efficiency sake. This bill attempts to prevent the Department of Transportation from stopping racing hobbyists as they leave the racetrack and ticketing them unfairly.
Youth Turkey Season Extension HF 2067 - I managed this bill on the floor of the House during debate on Tuesday of this week. It passed 98 to 0 and goes to the Senate. This bill was filed by a colleague and then assigned to me in the Natural Resources committee to manage through committee and on the floor of the House.
E-Cigarette ban - We also passed a bill out of the House that will ban the sale of electronic cigarettes containing nicotine to minors. The E-cigarettes produce nicotine vapor rather than smoke, which can still result in nicotine addiction by children.
WebCam Abortion Ban
On Wednesday of this week the full House debated and passed a bill dealing with what has been termed "Web-Cam Abortions". This bill bans the practice of using an internet-based camera to conduct an interview remotely between a doctor and a patient seeking an abortion, then dispensing the powerful abortion drugs remotely. Planned Parenthood has been the primary provider of this service. This practice was banned by the state Board of Medicine because the drugs have led to complications. However, Planned Parenthood sued the board, winning an injunction against the ban. The bill passed the House 55 to 42 after lengthy and contentious debate and now goes to the Senate.
Iowa Juvenile Home
The issue of legislation dealing with the Iowa Juvenile Home has heated up in the legislature. I have attended several Senate meetings on the bill, and have been discussing the issue with my colleagues daily. This week the Senate bill was amended in subcommittee to remove the names Toledo and Iowa Juvenile Home from the Iowa code. I am disappointed in this move, but I also understand that it may fit into a larger strategy to work through the issues. I made the following statement in a press release earlier this week:
"I am disappointed in this decision by the Senate. It clouds the entire process with uncertainty. I will continue to fight for Toledo to remain the site of the Girls State Training School because we have the trained and experienced staff to handle these troubled teens, because we have a community that has demonstrated that they will fully embrace the mission of helping these troubled teens, and because we have a first class facility that the taxpayers have already paid tens of millions of dollars to build and improve for just that purpose. What this means for the House version of the bill is yet to be determined. It will be difficult for me to embrace legislation recreating a Girls State Training School that does not specify Toledo as the site without knowing what alternatives will be chosen for the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo."
One of the encouraging signs in the meetings are that several of the members of the governor's task force from last summer are engaging in the discussion to craft this bill. House members will work with the Senate as they draft the bill then when the Senate passes it out we will deal with that version in the House rather than work on two parallel paths in both chambers.
The Marshalltown Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a series of legislative forums again this year at the Fisher Community Center directly West across from the Hy-Vee main store in Marshalltown. These forums include the three legislators from the Marshall County area, Rep. Mark Smith, Sen. Steve Sodders, and me. The next will be held Friday, February 28 at noon. The forums are every other Friday during the session. These forums are a great way to get an update on what's happening in Des Moines and voice your concerns; I hope to see you there.

For those of us who can remember standing on the front seat of a Buick Special while mom drove to the market, or cruising around in a Plymouth convertible with no seat belts, modern safety equipment may seem a touch extreme. But with roughly 246 million cars on the road these days (and distracted driving on the rise), it's clear that a lackadaisical approach to vehicle safety will no longer do. These days, stock safety devices are becoming increasingly common, and in many states, they can also earn drivers discounts on car insurance.
And as cars become more futuristic, more and more car manufacturers are pushing the envelope on safety features. Older items — like seat belts and airbags — are now standard on new cars, and newer, stronger features are constantly being tested.
Safety device discounts on car insurance
Stock safety devices are becoming increasingly common, and in many states, they can also earn drivers discounts on car insurance. Many car insurance companies — Esurance included — offer built-in discounts if your vehicle features automatic seat belts, airbags, and similar safety equipment. And if you've added safety features to your car, you may be able to select more safety equipment-related discounts.
Some good examples of safety equipment include:
- Seat belts — It's hard to believe that the first mandatory seat belt law in the nation passed in New York just 27 years ago. Nowadays, seat belts are an absolute minimum when it comes to safety, and not wearing one could cost you a chunk of change if you're pulled over.
- Airbags — While airbags started to become more commonplace in the late 1980s, driver and passenger airbags have only been mandatory since 1998 (or 1999 for trucks).
- Head restraints — It may seem like a no-brainer these days, but remember when mom could reach over the seat and wipe your nose? Quality head restraints can prevent whiplash, and are mostly standard in modern cars.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) discount
Like seat belts and head restraints, it's easy to take anti-lock brakes for granted. And though they've been on the scene since 1978, they're still not standard on all vehicles. They're often available as an optional extra, however, and could be worth the investment.
Anti-Theft discount
You might also qualify for discounts on your car insurance if your car's equipped with an anti-theft device like LoJack®, Teletrac, or OnStar.
To find out if you have certain devices or features, check your user's manual, or contact a nearby dealer.
Discounts by state
Please note (and this is important): All car insurance discounts vary by state. Visit our discount page to find out which discounts Esurance offers in your hometown, or check with your insurer to see what they have available.

AMSTERDAM — With the transfer window set to open in just more than two weeks, the silly season is already well underway. As always, we are here to sort out the prospects of former, current or potential US internationals who ply their trade in Europe.
And though you may feel more prepared for what's to come having read our case files, you will be forced to do what everyone must do plenty of over the coming weeks: Wait to see what happens.
Freddy Adu – Your guess may well be as good as ours when it comes figuring when and how his situation will turn positive. Until his legal wrangle with Aris FC and the Greek federation is resolved, we will all wait and hope the 21-year-old can land somewhere he can get playing time. Nobody connected with this is talking. We've asked.
Jozy Altidore – There will be plenty of reports linking big name European clubs with the Villarreal forward for intriguing loan and purchase offers. But Altidore isn't interested in moving for any reason right now. Nothing to see here, move along.
Alejandro Bedoya – The Örebro workhorse (he led the Allsvenskan in distance covered at speeds greater than 12 mph by a whopping 12 percent) seems among the most likely on our list to be moved this January. Over past months, there have been faint whispers here and there about interest from places like the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Spain. But his agent, Patrick McCabe, probably summed it up best when he told MLSsoccer.com: "[Alejandro] is entering the last year of his contract and he is seeking a new challenge. Certainly we are looking at a positive next step for him. There have been many inquiries, but no offers as of yet."
Edson Buddle – On Wednesday, ESPN's Alexi Lalas tweeted (of all things) that the out-of-contract LA Galaxy star was going to audition at Birmingham City. Buddle's agent, Richard Motzkin, has since confirmed that his client is currently training with the Brums with an eye to impress.
Ricardo Clark – There have been certain localized murmurs and message-board theories that the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder had tired of sitting the bench and was ready to move on, perhaps back to MLS. However, a source confided to MLSsoccer.com that Clark has every intention of fighting for his place in Germany.
[inline_node:288372]Clint Dempsey – Though his agent already knocked down the first two big Deuce rumors of the winter (Liverpool and Wolfsburg), he did divulge that teams had again been calling about his client, as they tend to do. At the moment, Dempsey seems to have no desire to leave Fulham, but there are still seven weeks left for a club he can't turn down to enter the picture. Though it would not be at all shocking if one did, he will most likely remain cozy at the Cottage this winter.
Mikkel Diskerud – Though we're not at liberty to say much about this situation right now, do not be surprised if the budding Stabæk playmaker heads off to Denmark or the Netherlands in 2011, perhaps even in January.
Landon Donovan – The annual question of whether Donovan will go out on another short loan has been seemingly complicated this time by several factors: First, there is actual competition for his signature, with perpetual suitors Everton now reportedly joined by Fulham and Newcastle. Donovan has already said he would not like to play for any EPL club but Everton. Plus, the Galaxy captain has said more than once that he would like to get some rest, which points to his not going anywhere but Manhattan Beach this winter.
Benny Feilhaber – Agent Lyle Yorks has revealed interest from Denmark, the Netherlands and from a "big club" in Mexico. Beyond that, MLSsoccer.com has learned that Feilhaber – whose contract with Danish second-flight leaders Aarhus GF runs out this coming summer – currently has one offer on the table. From where did it come? Is it a bid to move in January? Stay tuned.
Robbie Findley – The former Real Salt Lake forward is out of contract with MLS (though the Portland Timbers grabbed his rights in the Expansion Draft nevertheless). He has already weighed interest in Scandinavia and from Tecos in Mexico. Even if he does not end up in one of those places, expect him to try his luck in Europe. Still ... everything on this front is oddly quiet.
[inline_node:288373]Brad Friedel – Aston Villa slammed reports that Friedel was lining up a move back home to the Columbus Crew. Even if the recent reports were untrue, such discussions have occurred before. Friedel is also set to be a summer free agent. But there is also the presence of Will Hesmer currently dampening any Crew talk. A poor season and a managerial switch at Villa may accelerate a move home.
Marcus Hahnemann – Like Friedel, Hahnemann has had a bit of a rough season to endure and is running out of contract this summer. Sadly for the big guy, some guy named Kasey Keller holds down the starting job with Hahnemann's hometown Seattle Sounders. Add in that the US netminder was recently demoted to the bench and it becomes a very interesting wait for this resolution.
Oguchi Onyewu – We should all know before too long whether Gooch will finally take up some of the volumes of loan interest he's had over the last year. Agent Lyle Yorks won't discuss whether Onyewu has changed his mind about sticking it out at AC Milan, but did say his client would prefer to stay in Italy. If a Serie A loan is his best option, and it sure seems to be considering manager Massimiliano Allegri's overt indifference, the likes of Bari, Bologna, Chievo, Fiorentina and Palermo are ready to serve it right now.
Jonathan Spector – A few weeks ago, it was starting to look like Spector's time at Upton Park would run out six months early. Despite a recent run of games and form in midfield, it still could, but it does seem a little less likely at the moment. Check back in mid-January.
Eugene Starikov – One Russian outlet prematurely reported that the erstwhile Tom Tomsk loan striker has sealed a permanent move from Zenit St. Petersburg. The recently crowned champs did admit that they were in transfer talks with Tomsk, but also that they have not yet decided what to do with Starikov. It seems like another loan season in Siberia may be the best bet, depending on how convincing Tomsk can be.

In the Morning to Work today,
I saw the traffic go morose.
I wish I could move ,
in a swift,away.
The Cars,they honk a musical honk,
a headache it triggers,
in this mindboggling traffic,
slowly I drift away.
Looking at the watch go tik tok tik
i smile at my own plight
Never again shall I be late,
the traffic that I hate.
I look at the traffic light,
waiting for the red to go green,
never did it happened,
nor my car moved.
I honked the horns,
they all saw me go berserk,
crazy and weird,
they all called me.
Looking at the watch go tik tok tik,
the light showed green from red,
Lord finally heard my prayers,
The traffic moved once again.

Diwana Bhel Poori House
Time Out says
A longstanding Drummond Street fixture, Diwana Bhel Poori House is unlikely to win many awards for its no-frills decor. Its popularity comes instead from its menu – a showcase of vegetarian South Indian street food.
Bhel poori is, unsurprisingly, one of its draws, with small plates of savoury snacks (including puffed pooris, samosas, dhals and chutneys), suitable as starters or, ordered in large enough quantities, a meal in themselves.
Those seeking more substantial feeding can opt for a crispy filled dosa or a vegetarian thali mixing rice with a variety of vegetable curries; there's also a hearty lunch buffet for those less easily satisfied.
121-123 Drummond Street
|Tube: Euston Square or Warren Street tube/Euston tube/rail
|Set buffet lunch (noon-2.30pm) £6.95 (under-4s free; 4-7s half-price). Set thali £7.95-£8.95. Unlicensed. Corkage (before 10.30pm) no charge.
|Opening hours:
|Meals served noon-11pm daily.

I used to really rate this place. Cheap and tasty. Well it is still that but now EVERY time you go, they try to misle you out of change. "Sir but we did not charge you for corkage!" (Corkage is free). To the extent that this time having paid the (mandatory) "service" charge and had the usual nonsense about forgetting to bring change and then eventually throwing it on the table, muttering about me to a colleague, i asked what the problem was "oh sir no problem only we don't charge you corkage". That's the last time I'm afraid folks.
Do not go here !!!!!!! Second time I went to diwana 's as first Time was a work leaving do ! I went here yesterday with a friend I hadn't seen for two years and we received the most appalling service. It was absolutely disgraceful. The man gestated us to sit a table with his fingers and when we got there , he said I said wait for two minutes. Then different ridiculously rude waiters started saying , we need to hurry up and order out mains as people are waiting to be seated. I was totally embarrassed and felt sick being there. It was a horrible experience. I found a hair in my starter which my friend firmly said I should complain about , but I left it thinking it would make things unpleasant. But what followed was unplenstries galore. When we left the waiters were so nasty they didn't even say bye or smile. There are many other street food restaurants in central London , plenty in drummunds street. There is beautiful authentic South Indian restaurant called Ragam in Tottenham court road. I am South Indian and the food in diwanas is not South Indian , it's make do. The starters are good. Mains are just about make do.
Dont listen to the haters. This is the best restaurant in Euston hands down. It's my favourite Indian place in London. The food is awesome, lovely staff, comfy seating, very social. Unbeatable.
This is a restaurant that I have been happy to go to since a friend first suggested it in the early 1970's, just about fifty years ago. In mid-September I took my American cousins there. They went in while I was trying to find a parking place. They were refused service on the basis that they wouldn't be served until I arrived. They were made to move from table to table two or three times, told they couldn't sit here, there, wherever. Understandably they were dreadfully upset. My cousin called me and I stopped by to speak to a member of staff, was informed that they could not be served until everyone had arrived, they could not order starters on their own even if later we would all be ordering our main dishes.
I asked if they could not be made to feel welcome, that they had been looking forward for a long time to coming here... this idiotic conversation went on for a while. I asked if it was possible to be more flexible, after all the restaurant was far from full. No it would be very busy. But eventually the member of staff agreed they could be allowed to order without waiting till I had found a parking place. I left only eventually to return shortly to find them cold because they had been parked at a drafty table near the open entrance door.
The food in due course arrived. I shall refrain from comment as most of the meal was taken up by the stress they had been put through - they are not young and travel isn't easy at this age. However, they were happy with their choices. At the end, the waiter came with the bill, kept asking about whether a tip could go on the credit card, asked several times. I said clearly, No, it would not go on the card. - So you can leave cash, says he, again several times.
On the basis of the distress, stress and misery this waiter had caused, along with his pulling faces about them to other colleagues, despite other customers making it clear to my cousins that they were appalled at the treatment they were being subjected to, I was not prepared for my cousins to leave a tip. I indicated that they should not. The waiter came to me and said, You've not left a tip. I agreed, Yes, we've not left a tip. Why? he asked. I responded, Because you have been very unpleasant.
Frankly after this horror I am leaving a single star - leaving no stars isn't possible. It was five stars frightful in the staff behaviour department. I have never before seen such disrespect shown to customers - and I am horrified that any member of staff here believes that this is acceptable. It absolutely is not. This was a ghastly situation - in good faith to have suggested this restaurant to my cousins and then find that this resulted in one of the worst evenings possible for them. Awful.
Terrible food, terrible staff. When mentioned that the food was not very good we were told that it is fine if the food isn't good. The waiter kept wiping his nose with the same hand as handling food and cutlery.
The staff work nasty to us. Unpolite and very rude.
Also, they tried to charge us for the GLASSES used and for the bottles of wine that WE brought (it's a Bring your own drink restaurant)
We haven't finished the dessert, and they were pushing us to pay the bill. They said they were closing but was not true (some people still in the restaurant eating).
Brilliant place, tasty food. Especially the buffet
Listen, you don't go to Diwana for the service. You go for the buffet. That being said I've been going for years and they are always very nice to me. Maybe because I'm friendly and I tip :)
Keep in mind the chef for the ala carte is different than the one for the buffet. The menu can be hit or miss in my experience but the buffet is amongst the best Indian in London. It's even better than the Indian's in India do it accordingly to my mate who spends a great deal of time photographing over there. Go on Fridays as they offer Matar Paneer. Also, insider tip: skip everything before the pomopadoms. The real indian food starts afterwards.
I happened to eat here Wednesday evening and Thursday lunchtime - what a difference! Evening was just about OK, but the lunchtime buffet was just amazing - the best variety I've seen anywhere and the price just incredible. Re the poor comments below, I agree that the decor isn't anything to write home about but I found the waiters perfectly amiable. With such good food at this price in central London, who cares about plain wooden tables and (the rather unusual) metal plates? And there are obviously many other people in London who feel the same - there were queues to get in on both days. I'll definitely be back, possibly coming to London just for the day to do so (I'm based in Birmingham!).
good vegetarian indian food, great dosas. its no thrills but brilliantly priced
Just the best Indian food outside of India !
I have been going to the Diwana for about forty years. The food is always great, the service welcoming and it is one of my favourite places to go in central London. The fact it is always packed with regulars says everything you need to know about. On top of which, everything is very reasonably priced. Don't be fooled into getting a starter each and a main - schoolboy error you'll be blown out. Worth popping to the nearby Exmouth Arms for a drink before or after or both. A friendly pub with good beer, a proper local in the middle of London
Steer clear! I'm all for roughage but went for the buffet & almost broke a tooth on a piece of gravel. The staff refused to discount. The bad service made you want to walk out, they then took ages getting the change- cynically, i thought, in the hope that we'd leave. Put me right off ever coming back and incited me and my partner in to arguing about whether to just walk out. I think a bad review and NEVER going back is just desserts.
Since its humble opening back in the day when good honest cooking was as common as a feather cut n flares, we have been frequenting Diwana's. This decade we have been back just three times, each time our disbelief has been matched by our disappointment - both escalated to the point that this group of loyal divotees have thrown in the hot towel. Agree with Ruby - rubbish. How can an Indian restaurant get some of the basics so badly wrong? Dhal - was truly dreadful, Tali a crushing let down. In general, we found that anything that came near oil, tasted rancid, anything one might expect to be crispy - e.g the bhel puri was stale. Oh dear, dont get me started on the service. Word on the street was that the previous owners sold out to a Bengali business man. Good luck to em dishing up rubbish to the tourists. Our top advice - walk on by.
Yummy food! Varied and attractive....well done!
Without exaggeration the BEST Bhel Poori in the world - I've been to Chowpatty beach in Bombay & this blows the socks off it. Fantastic Dosas & other goodies too. Yup Staff aren't cheerful - probably because the management take the added on Service Charge for themselves & give them none of it.. I always ask them to take the Service Charge OFF the bill & then give them a tip.
If I could choose to eat any meal at any restaurant in the world I'd come here for the lunchtime buffet. Granted, the decor is nothing to write home about and the staff always seem to be in a hurry. But the food is delicious, unlimited and it costs 7 quid. What's not to love?
the regular haunt for camden council staff!
a lot of negative comments probably form other rival restaurants! All you have to do is see how busy it is compared to the other restaurants in the area
i cant understand the negative comments. this is simply the best quality vegetarian buffet you will get anywhere if you love south asian food. Yes, the food is spicy but no one can accuse if of being dull or boring. All my asian and white friends ive taken there adore it too
Reposting my review as my previous review has 4 starts by mistake. This place does not deserve even one star! I went there for the buffet during lunch time. The service was horrible. The staff are uncivilised villagers from god knows where! Ten minutes into my meal I noticed that half the dishes on the buffet were empty. On asking the waiters if they would be refilled he replied that he "did not know"!!! I walked upto a guy that I thought was the manager (behond the counter) who later turned out to be the cashier to ask the same and he said they were clearing the buffet so "it was time to leave". They should not have seated us if they did not intend to serve us all the dishes in the buffet. The last time I checked you could have multiple servings at a buffet. Before I left I told the cashier that I would write a terrible review and he said that was fine and I should send him a copy!!! After our meal which was anyway incomplete as the buffet was half empty, we had to wait for 15 minutes and ask for our bill thrice. There are far better Indian restaurants in London and I would not waste time and money here again. The food was nothing great. The chapattis (Indian flat breads) were quite clearly from a packet. Clearly this place is run by a bunch a incompetent ... Well I was going to type apes but I think apes could do better .
Aghast with disbelief at reports of indifferent service. THE indispensable vegetarian nosh-spot as far as we are concerned. Food SO good and personnel seemed to appreciate being treated like human beings. We definitely and systematically call in as often as possible (from the south of France that's not very often) for some seriously fragrant and heart-warming chomp. Thanks to all involved, gBass.
The food was okie but their service was so so so horrible. The man dressed in blue shirt was so rude. They have included service charge in the bill, but they are hopeless in that department. I WILLL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. Def recommended Ravi Shankar.
this is my favorite restaurant in london, i go every week for the buffet. the food is amazing!
I've been going here for several years. Very good and quite cheap vegetarian food, especially the buffet. The service might not be the most friendly, but the equality of food makes up for that. Having spent a few months in the south of India recently, I was interested to see how this place compared and I was pleasantly pleased.
Fantastic food and very good value too. We've been eating here since the 70s and have often taken friends along. They've always loved it too. The lunchtime buffet is excellent - varied, tasy and beautifully presented. I only wish they carried on after 2,30. A la carte at other times is very good too.
I keep coming back to their lunch time buffet - Really love the food, great service and is reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend this place, especially the lunch time buffet.
Only people who will enjoy food like this will be the ones who knows nothing about south Indian food, Very dissapointing meal.
Had eaten here twenty years ago when I was a student. While visiting London with French friends managed to find it again and was happy to say it was still the same. The staff were friendly and the food VERY tasty, and inexpensive. No frills but a lovely evening out. Fully recommend it.
The service was shockingly bad..I can make better food at home and I can't cook!! NOT ADVISABLE
Loved this place so much I ended up eating there twice in two days! Great food, really friendly service & amazing value. I'd never eaten Bhel Poori before so was great to be able to try that and BYOB is always preferable to tasteless largers or cheap wine plus I always prefer an established place with character over a formulaic chain....
Can't complain about anything. The food is fantastic every time. Staff always very pleasant and helpful. Prices bargainous. Wish i could stay and graze all night.
Being indians ourselves we were excited to find this new place to eat out on a Sunday eve. But soon felt extremely disappointing. Very very average food, very very oily and very highly priced. Would never go there again.
We ate here last week and were really impressed by the range, quality and price of the food. The atmosphere was very nice and there was no superficial facade to the place. Our friend has been eating there since the 70s and we went on his recommendation. As a result we hope to eat there as long too!
