Looking for a unique device to hold your smartphone and playback music via Bluetooth or NFC at the same time? Andromedia's Curve Mini could be for you.
The first thing that comes to mind when taking this product out of the box is Cyclops. Mimicking something like the glasses worn by this X-Men original, Andromedia's Curve Mini won't exactly shoot lasers, but it will project sound.
Designed with portability in mind, this device will not only connect to your smartphone through various means, you can also prop it up on a nice angle making for a hands-free experience while watching movies, browsing social media searching or simply pumping music beats.
With the ability to support almost-all smartphones big and small, you'll be able to find a use for this product no matter what the device - ranging from Apple's iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in sizing.
With Bluetooth, NFC and AUX connectivity, the Curve Mini speaker and stand will provide you with various options for connecting your preferred device.
Available in black, white, yellow, blue and red color schemes, we've been provided with the yellow edition for review purposes. Not only do we feel it looks the best, it's also the closest imitation to Cyclops.
As for speaker specifications, the drivers will give you what Andromedia claim as a "home theatre effect." This is achieved through the two speakers giving you a total 4W output rated at a frequency response of 50Hz~20KHz. Powered by a 600mAh lithium-ion battery and all wrapped up within the 155 x 37.8 x 150.2mm package, this device can be made even smaller given the fact that it can neatly fold - a very similar design as seen with some headphone brands.
As with most portable speakers, there is an included microphone jack for taking phone calls - however, this device follows the trend, meaning it's quite unreliable and you're better off disconnecting and picking up the phone yourself.
Now this is one of the coolest portable speakers I've seen, but can it perform with the best? Testing out the stand with a few different devices showed positive results - at first it seemed that the product was a little brittle and mightn't allow for me to fit in my large Samsung Galaxy S4, let alone with my thin silicon case attached. I was proven very wrong - with an extremely solid grip, the Curve Mini does a great job of housing my phone, case, Defqon 1 sticker and all!
Testing a smaller iPhone 5 brought a similar outcome, with yet again a solid grip being achieved thanks to the extremely thick, sturdy and metal-framed chassis. This does add a bit of weight into the product, but I see it as a necessity when it's handling sensitive items.
As for optional extras within the box, you're presented with the standard USB charging cable and short AUX 3.5mm male-to-male connection. There's nothing else that I can really see is needed with a product like this.

l Ludum Dare 18: You Keep Sliming (28 Aug 2010 at 11:11)
Last weekend was Ludum Dare, a weekend-long video game programming competition. Since I had such a good time last time I knew I wanted to do it again. This competition had a new simultaneous "jam" which was open format (no real rules; does not have to be teams of one) in order to tempt away rulebreakers from the mainline competition. I had done a team game jam before with Head Cat so I was interested in trying again, and so were like 9 other people (mainly computer scientists from CMU) and so Bouncecrab 2 was born:
You can download the OS X version or Windows version. Both should just work if you download and unzip and click to confirm your selection.
I regret to inform you that the intro sequence is not representative of gameplay. Let me tell you about it. One of the ways Ludum Dare protects against head-start rulebreakers is to announce the theme of the contest just as the clock starts. The theme is determined by voting, so you can see some of the options, and we were talking through them all at dinner and excited about ideas for some of them, but not for the one it ended up being, which was "Enemies as Weapons". So we applied the deliberately misheard it strategy also deployed for the theme islands in my previous ludum dare Is Lands? and made our game with the theme Anemonies as Weapons.
OK but still: We started with some code (BTW this game is written in Standard ML) that I had developed to prototype a long-time secret project, which in its current state is just a boring jump around a nearly empty room video game. The first night we had lots of ideas, like how you'd be doing space-inversion rock pushing puzzle solving, where each time you'd find an anemone it would unlock some power, until the dramatic boss fight, etc. The story is something like you're a hyper snail, and you have to rescue all of the anemones from the Evil Dr. Bouncecrab (an inescapable in-joke from William's Ludum Dare 17 entry). One of the minor details was that we needed to adapt the physics of my test game to snail physics, which was mainly that we needed the snail to be able to slime up walls. Long story short: Getting the snail to slime up walls actually took the entire weekend, and even on Monday night it wasn't working yet, and David just decided to replace the very delicate and carefully thought out but non-working physics with new hilariously unexpected physics but that allowed you to slime up the walls and get stuck flying upside-down sometimes, but actually get around our universe, which had been half-heartedly built without the benefit of being able to move around in it, because of the sliming, and with only like 25 total graphical tiles since I had been distracted from making graphics like I promised I would. So you have here an oddly unbalanced game, with like 15 minutes of lovely newly composed music by the music team, a pretty nice intro sequence where it seems like this game is gonna be pretty polished huh?, a pretty fancy level editor, some bits of the universe that are lovingly detailed and others that are literally I just drew a big beer glass and wrote "beer" on it, which you get stuck in and there's no way out except resetting and you don't know why, which probably had to do with the drinking we were doing at some parts of this, plus custom written ray-traced lighting:
And the game itself, which was charmingly put together in the last few hours by those still with us, can best be described as "exploit physics bugs to find the anemones" or "you keep resetting". I added a last minute timer for speedrun mode. At its best gameplay looks something like:
Despite the wide gap between dreams and reality, consensus is that the game came out magnificent and we can't wait to make Bouncecrab 3: World of Bouncecraft! [Bouncecrab 2 OSX • Bouncecrab 2 Windows]
In other news, I have a long-outstanding game post I really should get to, since I keep making in-jokes about it on my blog but not actually sharing with you. For shame. But next up is another music post...

Yeah, the candidate theme that I think I was most excited about was actually "bugs". I'd really like to make a game where the increasingly unexpected behavior was actually essential to gameplay.

WORLD UK PM holding crisis talks on Afghanistan: Downing Street
UK PM holding crisis talks on Afghanistan: Downing Street
21:56, August 13, 2021

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson convened crisis talks on Afghanistan on Friday, his office said, as the Taliban seized more major cities across the country.
A Downing Street spokesperson said Johnson had called a meeting of the COBR emergencies committee to discuss the current situation, which follows the withdrawal of US-led forces.


A great point, all told, but disappointing not to claim all three points having led 2-0 with just 15 minutes to go. Bolton have proven on many occasions this season that they are not a team to be taken lightly and following their last home outing resulting in a 5-1 demolition of Newcastle, you'd have been hard pressed to find a 'Pool fan unhappy with a draw at the Reebok. However, DJ Campbell's missed chances with the score at 2-0 ended up costing the Seasiders the victory when it looked all but assured.
Moving away from the disappointment of not holding onto the win, it was a performance as good as any so far this campaign. For long spells Blackpool were rampant and only their profligacy in front of goal stopped them putting five or six past the Wanderers. Ian Holloway was rightly delighted with how his side played, but which players in particular should be picked out for individual praise? The excellent Zonal Marking highlighted Elliot Grandin's corner delivery in his weekly article for the Guardian and this was surprising given Bolton's perceived aerial strength, but credit must go to the management team for their work on the training ground. Scoring goals from set-pieces has not been a hallmark of Blackpool sides down the years, but if this pattern can be continued it bodes well for maintaining the good goalscoring record the Seasiders possess.
Elsewhere, I'd like to draw attention to the two full-backs, Neal Eardley and Stephen Crainey. After a rocky start to the season, Crainey has emerged as one of 'Pool's more consistent performers and against Bolton he put in another solid shift.
The chalkboards above demonstrate how Crainey made key contributions throughout the game. The Scotland international won all of his tackles in 'Pool's defensive third with particularly crucial challenges in and around Blackpool's six yard box. Crainey also made three blocks in the same areas including one goalline clearance as Bolton went in search of the equaliser. I have already highlighted Crainey's strength in going forward, and when you consider his influence at the back you would anticipate that he has fended off competition from David Carney, for the foreseeable future at least.
Turning attention towards the Seasiders' current right-back, Neal Eardley has largely gone unnoticed. Stepping in for Alex Baptiste since the former Mansfield defender picked up an injury, Eardley has been ever-present (Villa away excepted) and appears to look more comfortable and confident with each appearance. In spite of this, he rarely seems to merit a mention in most post-match discussions. I have been guilty of this just as much as next man, so I'd like to take the overdue opportunity to look at his last couple of performances against Wolves and Bolton.
Eardley can find himself a little exposed at times due to 'Pool's attacking formation, but by and large he has acquitted himself very well. Matt Phillips started against Wolves and he tends to track back less than others, but under the tough examination of playing against Matt Jarvis, Eardley put in a respectable performance under difficult circumstances. With Gary Taylor-Fletcher back in the starting line-up at Bolton offering more protection in a defensive sense, this enabled Eardley to have one of his best games in a tangerine shirt. Eardley supported Blackpool's attacks on several occasions.
Another aspect of Eardley's game I'd like to bring up is the long diagonal to the left wing. This looks to be a tactic Holloway likes having employed it both last season and this, and Eardley has at times hit some sensational long passes to Luke Varney and Stephen Crainey. While not always successful, this tactic allows 'Pool to use the full width of the pitch and has helped make Luke Varney such a dangerous threat.
'Pool seem to have garnered a reputation for conceding goals, but both Neal Eardley and Stephen Crainey can be pleased with their performances to date this season. The formation employed gives them a lot to do both in a defensive and attacking role, but the pair seem to be adapting well to life in the Premier League. Crainey should be commended for stepping up despite having been written off at this level with former clubs, while Eardley has to be applauded for working his way firmly into Holloway's plans. Coleman kept the Welshman out of the side last season, Baptiste began this season in the right-back berth and there was also the potential signing of Angel Rangel that fell through. If Holloway had doubts about Eardley, and the aforementioned situations point to this, the former Oldham man must have persuaded the manager that he can be counted upon.
Blackpool never make things easy – this we know – and so despite what for large parts of the game seemed a straight-forward victory, another late goal caused a panicky end to a match once more. It may not have been the most eye-pleasing of wins, but it was a vital three points over a side against whom 'Pool are directly competing with this season. This result puts the Seasiders nine points ahead of both West Ham and Wolves, a sizeable cushion at this stage of the season. What about the performance though? Where did Ian Holloway's side gets things right, and which areas need to be looked at for improvement?
With all the excitement we've had at Bloomfield Road so far this season, the first 45 minutes on Saturday was something of a letdown. It could easily be forgotten, given 'Pool were 2-0 up and seemingly in command of the game, but of the two teams it was the visitors who saw more of the ball in the opening half. Luke Varney's wonder strike should have given Blackpool the impetus to push on and stamp their authority on the game, but for most of the half it was one way traffic in favour of Wolves. The following chalkboard shows just how busy 'Pool's defence was.
Over the course of the 90 minutes, the Seasiders made an astonishing 42 successful clearances – the highest they've achieved all season. The game at Newcastle was a classic example of a rearguard action, but on Saturday the 'Pool defence was tested more frequently than at St James' Park. Ian Evatt and Craig Cathcart put in great performances once again, and were able to restrict Wolves to few clear-cut chances, despite their pressure. Of course while it's easy to cite good defending, it's also important to mention how Wolves clearly lacked the cutting edge to break down Blackpool. Richard Kingson had little to do, if anything, in the first half, but did make two good saves as Wolves looked slightly more dangerous after the break. Conceding the consolation goal was disappointing, and will frustrate the 'Pool defence who had worked so hard to keep their opponents out – Kevin Doyle's goal actually coming when Ian Evatt was sent from the pitch after receiving treatment, a rule that surely has to be looked at.
Why did 'Pool struggle to get to grips with Wolves then? Mick McCarthy's side are in an awful run of results, yet despite taking an early lead the Seasiders were outplayed for long spells. Looking at the team picked by Holloway, my instinct is to look at the inclusion of DJ Campbell in the hole ahead of Charlie Adam and David Vaughan and just behind the front three. Elliot Grandin and Gary Taylor-Fletcher have played this role this season with varying degrees of success, but how does DJ compare?
The above chalkboard compares Campbell's performance on Saturday against Grandin's versus West Ham. I've opted to show only the first 59 minutes, as Grandin was then replaced by Matt Phillips at Upton Park. Campbell had little influence at Bloomfield Road, completing only nine successful passes in the first hour of the game, with no impact at all being made in the final third of the pitch. By contrast Grandin looked to have a far bigger role last week, yet this didn't appear to be enough to satisfy Holloway, who took him off and replaced him with Phillips. This reinforces the view that Campbell is a favourite of Holloway and perhaps 'undroppable' – ignoring the unusual selection at Villa Park. Campbell's presence in the side allowed Wolves to take control of the midfield, and this will perhaps persuade Holloway to bring back Grandin, or tweak his formation slightly to include Ludo Sylvestre or Keith Southern.
Regardless of the performance though, the three points are worth their weight in gold. 'Pool go into a tricky run of fixtures from now until the end of the calendar year, where points could be at a premium. Holloway will be hoping his defence can continue to perform at their current high level, but has plenty to think about with his more attacking options.
Both sides have been praised for their approaches to playing football this season. Blackpool will attack any team and Wolves for that matter too. Both sides like to pass the ball about and try and work the opposition out of position. This game could though, come down to the decisions that Mick McCarthy has to make.
With exception of Chelsea away Ian Holloway keeps his formation the same, whilst Mick McCarthy has over the past few weeks shown that he will adapt his formation for his opposition. McCarthy last week opted for a 4-4-2 against Bolton and a 4-5-1 against Arsenal in the previous game. Here's where a critical decision lies, did McCarthy make the call for a five man midfield based on the perceived quality of opposition or did he do it from a counter formation point of view. For example, did he see the fact that Arsenal line up in a 4-2-3-1 and counter that by trying to crowd the midfield. Should Wolves form in to a 4-4-2 then that will be very interesting as either McCarthy doesn't neccessarily counter the opposition formation or that he genuinely belives his 4-4-2 will overcome Holloway's modfied 4-3-3. Theoretically, he would be playing in to the hands of Holloway should he go 4-4-2 as that leaves plenty of space for Blackpool to operate in in between the Wolves defence and midfield. This is illustrated below, as Blackpool triangulate their midfield three, with one player at the head (usually Grandin) which leaves Blackpool able to play through the Wolves midfield and for Grandin to float in to space.
The way to counter that would be to drop a central midfielder to cover, a centre back to step up or for pressure from Wolves' two central midfielders on Adam and Vaughan in order to win the ball high up the pitch and set up attacks. The other way for a 4-4-2 to succeed against a 4-3-3 is the way that both Newcastle and Sunderland worked against Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. They pressed the opposition all over the pitch to deny them any space and the two forwards dropped deep to ensure all eleven men were goal side of the ball.
If McCarthy brings out his 4-5-1 then that will signal his intent to stifle the Blackpool midfield, who if given space have shown they can dominate teams at this level with metronomic and incisive passing. By packing the midfield with more men, McCarthy will hope to crowd out Blackpool and disrupt their rhythm. However, as with the opening 20 minutes against Arsenal the other week, playing a five man midfield requires an understanding of when to break out to support the forward player. Should the midfield remain static then that isolates the front man and ultimately invites pressure back on to them. Where Wolves got it right against Arsenal (given that they had enough chances to win the game) was that Milijas eventually realised he had to break out from midfield to support attacks and Jarvis and Hunt got forward superbly on the wings. See the image below and how that space that Blackpool had may well evaporate should McCarthy go with a 4-5-1.
With a 4-5-1 Wolves could cover the space normally allowed to Blackpool's midfield when they play against a 4-4-2.
This leads on to the final dynamic, what should happen if McCarthy calls for a 4-3-3 approach and match Blackpool, this could easily happen as he has the players at his disposal to do so. That would be fascinating, it might well see the likes of Adam, Vaughan, Henry, Mancienne (if selected) forced deeper to cover the central attacking midfielder leaving the most critical battle in the wide areas. Wolves could enjoy that factor given the form of Matt Jarvis and the precise delivery from Stephen Hunt. Holloway may well ask his full backs to site deeper should this happen and if so Blackpool will have to be very careful not to get dragged too deep as a unit and invite Wolves to attack them. Holloway would look to his own wide men for the same and given the pace of Varney and (if selected as most fans are crying out for) Matty Phillips then Wolves' full backs may well be under pressure. Given the injuries that McCarthy has to deal with in defence then his full back choices may be the most critical. He'll be aware of the pace Blackpool have in wide areas and will need good mobility from his full backs to nullify the threat.
The injuries that McCarthy is contending with may well be critical in this battle. His defensive selections should dictate how his defence plays. If he goes for the likes of Steven Mouyokolo as a centre back then his defence may play a normal to deep line to counter the pace and mobility of Blackpool's forward line. Likewise Holloway may look at that and think that he needs more physicality against a strong defender and opt for Harewood to start. The problem for McCarthy comes back to the 4-4-2 problem. If he wants his defence to play deeper than normal to cover the pace that Blackpool have then that could open up more space between defence and midfield for Blackpool to exploit. In fact given his defensive options then McCarthy's formation may be dictated from the back. A less mobile defensive back line that sits deeper might see McCarthy go for the 4-5-1 with one midfielder given the remit to drop in to the space and cover.
That was very heavy on theory, looking back at Wolves' last two games there are a couple of interesting aspects to be aware of. Arsenal appeared to defend resolutely and of course they had an inspirational performance from Lukas Fabianski to thank, but also they defended Wolves' crosses superbly. Look below and see the amount of unsuccessful crosses that Wolves' had. Blackpool will need to do they basics well, cut out the inevitable crosses and clear their back line.
Arsenal defended Wolves' crossing very well. Blackpool will need to do the same to avoid being dominated.
Against Bolton, Wolves, who have a reputation for being tough in the tackle, were out fought in that area by a Bolton team perceived to have 'gone soft' under the stewardship of Owen Coyle. Look below at how Wolves were second best all over the park. In fact Gary Cahill and Zat Knight were dominant in the air. Cathcart and Evatt will need to look at emulating that for Blackpool to gain an advantage.
Bolton were dominant in the tackle especially in their own half, this is crucial against Wolves in breaking down their play.
So Blackpool will be hoping to win the battle of the tackle and stop the crosses hitting their targets and that may well go a long way to deciding the outcome of this game. Holloway and McCarthy will both enjoy this match up and this is surely what Holloway imagined his work would be like when he got Blackpool promoted. He will hope to counter the decisions that McCarthy makes in order to bring some more Premiership points to Blackpool's already impressive tally.
Head over to the Vital Blackpool Forum to discuss this article with other fans.
Quite how this game finished 0-0 is hard to comprehend for anyone who witnessed it, but in the end a point each was probably fair. Both teams will argue they could have won it, and Blackpool did have the better chances (plus the wrongly-disallowed Harewood goal) but a share of the spoils away from home anywhere this season has to be a respectable outcome. What do the stats tell us about the game?
I decided to do something a little different this week, and take a look at how some of 'Pool's attacks developed at the weekend, using the match action tool on ESPN Soccernet. In possibly the most exciting 0-0 draw Blackpool will be involved in for years to come, one aspect of the game was just how end-to-end it was, both teams attacking with pace, taking it in turns to have their go. I've hand picked three chances during the game.
The first example I've picked out was Elliot Grandin's missed chance after seven minutes of the game. Neal Eardley starts off the move at right back, but it's worth noting how the midfield three of Grandin, Charlie Adam and David Vaughan move up the pitch together at the heart of this attack. Ian Holloway stated in his post-match interviews that the reason Ludovic Sylvestre has yet to break into the team is down to how well those three have gelled, and the above diagram is testament to this. While Grandin has shown flashes of brilliances since signing, some have questioned his end product. In this instance he has done well to get in a forward positions but not for the first time his finishing let him down, making only minimal contact with his head, glancing it well wide. The 11 pass move deserved better, but was a sign of things to come for 'Pool breaking quickly.
This chance involved one fewer pass – 10 overall – and had the ball dropped to a striker rather than Neal Eardley, the deadlock could have been broken. It does help highlight the improvement in Eardley's game this season however. His long diagonal to the left is one pass in his playbook that he often favours, and the pass early in this move to Crainey is indicative of this. Eardley is also learning to get forward to support Blackpool's attacks, and he'll hope to add to his goal against Everton as more opportunities will surely come his way. See also how DJ Campbell was involved in the link up play, not only on this chance on two occasions, but also during Grandin's early chance. Campbell had few chances himself, but still contributed elsewhere.
The glaring miss from Gary Taylor-Fletcher comprised only three passes in the build up, but came at a time when both teams were stretched going for the win. As the space opened up, the chances became ever more regular. With more gaps to exploit, it became possible to break forward within a matter of seconds, as was the case for GTF's glorious chance. David Vaughan, as he often does, broke up an opposition attack before neatly starting a 'Pool attack. Matt Phillips, on at this point for Grandin, popped up on the left hand side and calmly clipped in an inviting cross and…well, we all know the rest.
All the above diagrams do nothing to dispel the theory that Blackpool favour attacking down the left – Marlon Harewood's sitter also came from the left, created by Luke Varney who received a long ball from Charlie Adam. The first two diagrams will certainly please Ian Holloway – they both demonstrate a willingness to progress up the pitch with a mix of short and long passes – and there were plenty of other examples of this I could have called upon. From the other side of things though, West Ham also carved out a number of opportunities where they quickly broke from their own box to have a shooting chance mere seconds later.
Next week I'll hopefully be back to the more familiar Guardian Chalkboards when analysing the crucial match at home to Wolves. As Tangerine Dreaming mentioned in their match review, the game at the Boleyn Ground was a difficult one to analyse from the stats, given the frantic end-to-end nature of the match. I'm hoping I can fall back on the chalkboards next week for a more traditional review of 'Pool's tactics.


At long last, B.C. reaps some bonus profits from Expo land sale. And now Vancouver wants it.
Which was: Long ago, when the province sold the Expo lands to Li Ka-shing for what many called a fire-sale price, it wrote in a provision to the agreement that the province would get some of the profits if Concord ever got permission from the city to build more than 12 million square feet on the land.
At the time, it seemed unlikely.
My story on this is here. I will post the agreement attached to the land sale later for my armchair experts to peruse. (IanS?) And maybe someone can actually figure out what the sale price is, because I sure can't from looking at the complicated calculations in the agreement.

[GHHF] Thirumala Giri Lord Venkateshwara Temple land auction stopped by Locals with the Support of Sri Kamal Kumar Swami
11 Jul 2010 Save Temples 1152 Views
The people most affected have to be organized and activated. Only a movement of direct action and protest is going to move those who make decisions to do the right thing. Terence Courtney
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. Swami Vivekananda
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samiti have taken up the task of restoring the grandeur and glory of Sanatana Dharama. Devalayas (Abode of Gods) are the centers that have preserved, protected, imparted and promoted Hindu culture for centuries. Over thousands of years our forefathers have build thousands of Hindu Temples across Bharat and many other countries. Archeological departments and news paper reports reveal that many countries including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan and almost all the countries on the East side of India up to China have Hindu Temples. Many kings took pride in building huge Temples across the globe. All the Temple builders had so much foresight and vision in preserving the daily worship of pujas in all these Temples. As a result many of the donated hundreds and hundreds of acres of lands to these Temples so that worship services will be continued uninterrupted.
Over the years that the state governments in India have taken over these Temple on the pretext that the Hindus are not maintaining the Temple properly due to corruption and politics. All the Southern States have taken over all the Hindu Temples that earn at least 50,000 rupees neglecting the rest of the Temples. Many rich Temples like Siddhi Vinayaka Temple and Shiridi Saibaba Temple in Maharashtra, Puri Jagannath Temple in Orissa, Kasi Viswanath Temple in UP, Amarnath Temple, Vaishna Devi Temple and other Temples in North have been taken over by the respective government. Over the last six decades, thousands of Temple lands have been auctioned without ever consulting the local people. The reason they give for auctioning the lands was that the Temple lands are being encroached by people and the government is not able to stop.
Then the question is why did the government take over the Temple if they cannot stop the encroachment? How many politicians have encroached these lands or allowed their people to encroach so that can get these lands transferred to them? How can the governments say that they cannot stop encroachment in spite of all the power they have in their hands such as police force, army, security, legal system, etc.
Corrupt government officials, corrupt politicians, and corrupt legal system have been amassing wealth off these Hindu Temples. Temples are like Kamadhenu for these officials and politicians. They squeeze every penny from the Temples. No government will investigate corruption practices of the employees who live in filthy rich places. The Temple land, Temple Jewels, and Temple money are siphoned off. Most unethical, secular minded, atheists and non-Hindu personnel are in charge of the most sacred places on the planet earth. Hindus have to be made aware the potential depletion of Temple lands and eventual closing of many Hindu Temples in the near future. They have to get organized and demand the government to repeal the Endowment Act so that Hindus will have the freedom and liberty to manage their affairs.
Thirumala Giri Sri Venkateshwara Temple Lands near Jaggayya Peta in Krishna District, AP.
This is a remarkable example of the local temple goers, dedicated community leaders and determined leadership of Sri Kamal Kumar Swami working together to challenge the corrupt government and make them postpone the auction of 5.25 acres of Temple land. It is with persistence, determination, and without fear of intimidation, they were able to accomplish this. If we put our heart in to, we can accomplish the impossible. Our salutations to all those involved in great effort.
Sri Venkateshwara Temple is located in a place called Thirumala Giri near Jaggayya peta in Krishna District, AP. It is believed to have been in existence for centuries. The Temple is located on a sort of mountain. One has to climb about 300 – 350 feet. There are no staircases to climb the hill to have darshan of Lord Venkateshwara. As in olden days people climb using the small rocks as steps to reach the Temple.
It is believed that this Lord Venkateshwara is swayambhu who appears in Valmikodbhava form. He is born out of Ant hill. People believe Lord Venkateshwara is inside the anthill. Hence they all worship him in the form of anthill (Valmiki form). The government appoints the Board of Trustees for the Temple and it is supervised by Executive Officer. This Temple has 5.24 acres of land that was donated by devotees many, many years ago. Last week of June 2010 it was announced that the Endowment Department is planning sell that land by auctioning. The reason given to auction the land is the same as before for auctioning the lands of other Hindu Temple – government is not able to stop encroachment. As we all know that the government took over the Hindu Temples because according them that these Temple are not managed properly and that there is corruption. Local people were upset and they do not see the need for selling the lands. If the government is afraid of the encroachment, it could appoint a number of security personnel to guard the land. Instead the government wants to sell the land. If this scenario continues, all the lands belonging to Hindu Temples could be sold and deplete them in few years. They also believe that many cores of rupees changed the hands to influence the decision to sell off these lands.
Former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Thirumala Giri Sri Venkateshwara Temple, Sri Ghanta Hanumantha Rao has written a letter to Sri Gade Venkata Reddy, Minister for Endowments Department, with the following details requesting him to stop the auction the Temple lands:
"We came to know that 5.24 acres of land is being sold through public auction. There is no need to sell the land at this juncture. The Temple receives 19 lakhs through haircutting, 2 lakhs through coconuts, 4 lakhs through the auction of rice, 6 lakhs through renting the shop spaces, 35 lakhs through the sale of darshan and pooja tickets, and about 40 lakhs from HUNDI donations. The Temple average income is ONE crore rupees.
In addition to this income, Temple provide annadanam daily to all the devotees coming to have Sri Lord Venkateshwara darshan with the interest they earn from a fixed deposit of 25 lakhs donated by the devotees. Devotees from the districts of Nalgonda, Krishna, Guntur and Khammam visit the Temple because they believe their desires are fulfilled on a regular basis. In fact the farmers and business people have a custom of donating a certain percentage of their income as their desires are fulfilled. The land value is more than any body can imagine because it is close to National Highway, close to a college, and also located in from of Madras Cement Factory. It may increase as the years go by. Some time ago (about two years), in order to protect the Temple land we also constructed Compound Wall around 5.24 acre land. This land can be used to provide more facilities to the visiting pilgrims. Hence I am requesting you to stop the auction of the Temple land." Signed by Ghanta Hanumantha Rao.
Sri Hanumantha rao went to Hyderabad and met the Endowment Minister on July 3, 2010, handed over the letter personally and requested him to stop the auctioning of the land. Basically the Minister said that is the policy of the government and refused to take any action. He also mentioned that as a Chairman of the Board of Trustees during the years 2006-2008 that he approved 50 lakh rupees to construct the path way to the Temple so that it would be easy for the pilgrims to climb the steps to reach the Temple. No action has been taken so far.
Sri Kamal Kumar Swami of Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi was informed of all these details and was requested to help stop the sale of the Temple land. He went to on July 7 to the area and joined hundred of local people and served as their spokesperson to stop the auction. Sri Kamal Kumar Swami told the government officials the government has no power to sell the lands. Sri Ghanta Hanumantha Rao addressed the people and requested the Regional Joint Commissioner Sri M. Raghuram, who was to conduct the auction, to stop the auction. The government also sent a significant number of police force to enforce the auction. With Sri Kamala Kumar Swami joining the movement local people were more enthusiastic in participating in the protest. Four lorry loads of people from nearby villages reached the site of the auction. Ex-sarpanch Sri. M Vijaysekhar, Sri Keesari Rambabu, Sri Manne Sreenivasa Rao, Sri Kaarupati Das, Sri Vasanth Rao, Sri Janardharn and many local leaders joined Sri Kamal Kumar Swami in demanding the government officials to stop the auction. Sri Swami said that should the lands donated years ago by the devotees to preserve the Temples. In fact efforts should be made to increase the property of the Temples instead of dwindling and depleting the property.
Finally, Sri M. Raghuram announced that for the time being the land auction is postponed. It is great pleasure to see that the Temple lands are preserved from the auction. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation talked to Sri M Raghuram, E O of the Temple, and officials at Endowment Commissioner's office. Sri Hanumantha Rao was helpful in providing all the details. He is also planning to High court with the help of HDPS and GHHF. Salutations to all the local leaders, local devotees and Sri Kamal Kumar Swami for their unselfish, determined, and patriotic act. People most affected by the government action succeeded in stopping the auction through their persistent and great effort.
Different Local Newspapers published the event with the following headlines in local Telugu language. The titles of this story are as follows:
1) Thirumala Giri Venkanna's Land auction postponed
2) Uproar over Land auction
3) Temple land Auction postponed
4) Temples are like Business Centers – Protest near Temple Land
5) Government should protect Temple lands
6) Sri Thirumala Giri Venkanna's Land Auction Postponed
7) Tirumala Giri Land auction should not be conducted

NERC Warns of Ongoing Extreme Weather Risks
Most of U.S. Electric Grid Faces Risk of Resource Shortfall Through 2027, NERC Finds
Biden-Harris Administration Announces $750 Million to Accelerate Clean Hydrogen Technologies
Published by Certrec on December 22, 2022
WWW.RTOINSIDER.COM
The coming decade will be marked by "extraordinary reliability challenges and opportunities" amid rapid changes in the climate and the North American electric grid, NERC staff said while introducing the organization's Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA) on Thursday.
"Year after year, we've seen extreme weather leading to increased reliability events....It's clear that the bulk power system is impacted by extreme weather more than it ever has," John Moura, NERC's director of reliability assessment and performance analysis, said at a media event accompanying the report's release. "So, as we transition our system so rapidly, it's vitally important that we're planning and operating a [BPS] that can be resilient to the extreme weather we're seeing."
NERC produces the LTRA every year in coordination with the regional entities to assess North American resource adequacy and identify trends, emerging, issues and potential risks during the coming 10 years. This year's report found most of the continent as either high-risk - meaning energy shortfalls may occur at normal peak conditions in one or more years - or elevated, in which case reserves meet normal resource adequacy criteria but severe heat or cold could lead to shortfalls.
NERC's risk area summary, 2023-2027. Areas in red are high risk, meaning shortfalls may occur at normal peak conditions; areas in yellow are elevated risk, meaning shortfalls may occur in extreme conditions. | NERC
MISO, Ontario at High Risk
MISO and NPCC-Ontario led the high-risk areas, with projected shortfalls for each region exceeding 1,000 MW. Most urgent is the 1,300 MW in MISO, where NERC now expects the reserve margin to fall below the reference margin level beginning next year - a year earlier than the prediction from last year's LTRA. Mark Olson, NERC's manager of reliability assessments, explained in Thursday's call that generation retirements in MISO are "outpacing the new resource additions, and not keeping up with resource adequacy criteria."
Shortfalls are expected to begin in NPCC-Ontario as early as 2025, with the anticipated reserve margin (ARM) dropping below the reference margin level by 1,700 MW in that year and 2026, driven by "planned retirements and lengthy outages for nuclear units undergoing refurbishment."
Five-year projected reserves for MISO (left) and NPCC. | NERC
Regarding the nuclear outages, NERC observed that Ontario Power Generation has proposed to extend the operation of Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, which is currently expected to retire in 2025, through September 2026. The LTRA's ARM for NPCC-Ontario was calculated under the assumption this proposal would be approved by Canada's Nuclear Safety Commission.
The last high-risk area is California. Although the state now seems set to avoid the shortfall that last year's LTRA predicted would begin in 2026, thanks to added capacity, NERC noted it "remains dependent on electricity imports to manage periods of extreme electricity demand or low resource output." A probability assessment for 2024 showed that while most months show a low risk of load loss and unserved energy in the state, August and September had high risks of more than two hours of load loss due to warm temperatures and "potentially volatile electricity demand."
Olson said California's Diablo Canyon nuclear plant was not included in the LTRA due to uncertainty around its continued operation, but that it "would certainly help alleviate risk." The 2.2 GW plant was scheduled to close by 2025, but the state this year determined that its baseline contribution was essential for reliability, and the Department of Energy last month awarded PG&E $1.1 billion to help keep it in operation. (See DOE Grants PG&E $1B for Diablo Canyon Extension.)
Variable Generation a Continuing Concern
Areas at elevated risk include the U.S. Northwest and Southwest, SPP, Texas and New England. In those regions, capacity should be sufficient to meet normal peak demand; however, conditions under NERC's 90/10 forecast - which has a 10% chance of being exceeded - could lead to outages.
For Texas, the report noted that "ERCOT's winter peak load varies substantially...between the coldest temperatures of an average year and a more extreme year." Although changes by state regulators, ERCOT and generator owners since the winter storm of February 2021 should reduce the risk of disruption, NERC said the state still has cause for concern.
Tier 1 and 2 planned resources projected through 2032. | NERC
The biggest risk for New England continues to be dependence on natural gas for electricity and the risk of gas supply bottlenecks due to increased heating demand in severe cold. The report reminded readers that stored backup fuels are "critical" to ensuring grid reliability.
WECC and SPP face risks due to high demand and variable output, highlighting an ongoing issue in the BPS. As in previous years, projections for planned resources for the next decade show that wind, solar and gas "are the overwhelmingly predominant generation types in the planning horizon."
Michelle Bloodworth, CEO of coal industry advocate America's Power, said in a press release that the increasing presence of weather-dependent resources in the electric grid is worrying. She called for utilities not to abandon conventional generation sources without a better understanding of how to maintain reliability.
"We remain deeply concerned that the grid is being forced to rely on less dependable electricity sources in the future because of coal retirements. We strongly urge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and grid operators to act as quickly as possible to value all reliability attributes," Bloodworth said. "In addition, we urge utility commissioners to pause coal retirements until grid operators have identified and valued all reliability attributes."

The Dark Side of the Moon: An Astronomical Success
Pink Floyd's ground-breaking album The Dark Side of the Moon was the result of a long creative process that began around 1968. A Saucerful of Secrets (the main track from the eponymous album) was, for Nick Mason at least, where it all began. Their next album Ummagumma (1969) gave each band member the opportunity to create a solo piece, though they would have to combine their talents if they wanted to hit the jackpot. Pink Floyd continued to search for the perfect record with Meddle, an album which highlighted their skills in the studio, and Atom Heart Mother, before they reached nirvana with The Dark Side of the Moon. And the album's perfection hasn't faded one bit.

I get this occasionally, and it was when I configured the application pool to use 2 or more processes. Because each request can come back to any of the processes, it needs the same MachineKey to decode the viewstate information.

Ram 1500 First Full-size Pickup to Earn IIHS Top Safety Pick+
2020 Ram 1500 Crew Cab and certain 2019 Crew Cab models are first full-size pickups to earn Top Safety Pick+ under current Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) guidelines
Top Safety Pick+ is highest rating awarded by IIHS
Ram 1500 achieves highest possible ratings in each of the six crashworthiness tests conducted by IIHS
Crashworthiness aided by FCA's patented splayed front frame rails
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) technology graded "superior," benefiting from industry's only pickup-segment application of Integrated Radar Camera Module (IRCM) – one of more than 100 available safety and security features
September 10, 2019, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Ram 1500 Crew Cab full-size pickup has been named a Top Safety Pick+ for 2019, the highest rating given by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The rating applies to 2020 Ram 1500 pickups, and 2019 trucks produced after May of this year, when equipped with adaptive LED projector headlamps that have high-beam assist and Ram's Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) technology, Forward Collision Mitigation.
"This recognition validates our unrelenting efforts to deliver more value for our customers," says Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand. "The new Ram 1500 has earned many accolades for its capability and design. It is immensely satisfying to have the IIHS recognize our truck for its compelling safety story."
The Ram 1500's safety story begins with innovations such as its patented approach to frame-rail construction. The truck's front frame-rails are splayed to better manage crash energy in certain types of frontal collisions.
Of the six crashworthiness evaluations conducted by the IIHS, three simulate frontal impacts. And the Ram 1500 recorded "good" results in each, the highest possible rating.
Outcomes were the same in the three remaining crashworthiness tests, which inflict damage consistent with a side impact, rear impact and a rollover.
Also unique to the Ram 1500 is its use of an Integrated Radar Camera Module (IRCM) to accommodate Forward Collision Mitigation. The IRCM consolidates radar and camera components behind the vehicle's rearview mirror, which not only simplifies their interface, but keeps important technology out of harm's way in the event of minor collisions.
Meanwhile, Forward Collision Mitigation in the Ram 1500 earned a "superior" rating from IIHS. The optional feature boasts sensor-fusion technology, which blends camera capability with radar detection to determine when an impact is imminent.
The system initially warns the driver to take action to avoid a collision. If the driver does not act in a timely manner, the system may activate the vehicle's brakes if collision risk remains.
The Top Safety Pick+ rating is also enabled by adaptive LED projector headlamps that have high-beam assist. The technology was refined in May of this year, earning the highest IIHS rating of "good."
A "good" rating in headlamp testing is the latest IIHS requirement to earn Top Safety Pick+.
The 2019 Top Safety Pick+ rating is the culmination of many months in the spotlight for the Ram 1500 – from Motor Trend Truck of the Year to a place among Wards 10 Best Engines with its standard-equipment 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with eTorque.
In 2009, the Ram Truck brand launched as a stand-alone division, focused on meeting the demands of truck buyers and delivering benchmark-quality vehicles. With a full lineup of trucks, the Ram 1500, 2500/3500 Heavy Duty, 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab and ProMaster, the Ram brand builds trucks that get the hard work done and families where they need to go.
Ram continues to outperform the competition and sets the benchmarks for:
1,075 lb.-ft. of torque with Cummins Turbo Diesel
Towing capacity of 37,090 lbs. with Ram 3500
Segment first 1,000 lb.-ft of torque with Cummins Turbo Diesel
Payload of 7,680 lbs. with Ram 3500
Most luxurious: Ram Limited with real wood, real leather and 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen
Best ride and handling with exclusive link coil rear and auto-level air suspensions
Most interior space with Ram Mega Cab
The most cargo space available in any traditional full size cargo van
Most capable full-size off-road pickup – Ram Power Wagon
Ram 1500 TRX is the quickest, fastest and most powerful mass-produced pickup truck in the world
Most awarded light-duty truck in America
Highest owner loyalty of any half-ton pickup
The latest J.D. Power APEAL study, which rates the emotional bond between customers and their vehicles, named the 2022 Ram 1500 as the best vehicle in the large light-duty pickup category. This marks the third straight year Ram 1500 has received top honors.
The Ram 1500 lineup includes the Know & Go mobile app featuring an immersive experience for customers who want to learn more about their vehicles.

Right then my overclocking comrades, this is where our journey together ends for now. I need to lock myself away in a darkened temperature controlled room surrounded by PSU's and GPU's and a wide selection of hexcores to torture. I can honestly say it's very rarely a piece of hardware gets me this excited and willing to pull all nighters in the search of seeing what it is truly capable of. I'm in no delusion that the weakest link will be me, I'm not an overclocking professional by any means. Sure I can navigate my way around a BIOS and max most CPU's on air fairly quickly but this motherboard is built to go way, way beyond that point. All we can do is hope I at least get it a little out of breath!
I think its time we take a look at the video for even more kilt tilting goodness!
So with a board that looks good and has so many features crammed onto the spec list its now my job to try and do it justice. Only time will tell if I have the skills to even get this board up to a running pace!
As ever you can also discuss what you think of the board and my excited babblings in our forums.

Our attorneys cannot stress enough the importance of product safety. We have frequently discussed how imperative it is that manufacturers and sellers comply with product liability laws. This might be of the greatest importance though in regards to creating and selling safe children's products. Children and babies are at an even greater risk than adults when exposed to danger and brought in harm's way due to a dangerous product. Where adults may have some awareness of the situation and may be able to defend themselves from danger, children are completely innocent and have no reason to expect that they are in danger. In addition, with being so small and undeveloped, they are much more easily harmed than grown and strong adults.
Product safety in regards to children's products has been in the spotlight in the news. According to a recent report by ABC, nearly 71,000 Britax brand infant car seats are being recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recently announced this recall in wake of the knowledge of the great danger these defective seats pose. According to the CPSC, there have been over 74 reports of car seat handles breaking while in use. The handles have reported to easily develop fractures and cracks while they are used. These cases of broken handles have been so serious that they have caused infants to fall from their carrier to the ground. In one instance, an infant fell to the ground and suffered an injury to the head.
Our attorneys urge our readers to please take note of the models at issue in this recall. The car seats involved in this recall are the Britax B-Safe 35 and B-Safe 35 Elite infant car seats. Consumers are advised to immediately cease use of these car seats, and to especially not use them by the handle. Reports indicate that right now these seats are only safe to use when secured in a vehicle or stroller, but that they should never be used by the handle until further notice is relayed of repairs or new parts.
These specific models were manufactured between October 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015. These were sold from popular retailers like Target, Amazon, Babies R'Us, and buybuyBABY. As these are some of the most prevalent sellers of infant goods, this evidences how widespread this recall affects the public. To know if your car seat is one that poses dangers to your youngest loved one, you can find the model number and date of manufacture on the label located at the back of the seat's shell.
Under product liability law, manufacturers have a legal duty to provide goods that are safe for use and free of danger. Under this duty they are required to inspect all products for dangers and defects, warn customers of known dangers, and remove dangerous products from the stream of commerce. Where manufacturers fail in this regard and injuries are suffered as a result of their failure, this is considered a breach of legal duty. In these instances, victims – or in the case of children, their parents or legal guardians – may file a product liability lawsuit to recover damages for injury and suffering.

Q: PHP compare values from Mysql The MySql table looks like:
    id    |        values
  --------------------------------
    41    |    154, 256, 526, 50
    86    |    542, 586, 785, 41

I want to compare values from this database with values from results from another MySql query.
From that another query I get result for specific user and valus, for example:
user id: 41
values: 154,526,50

How can I compare this two database "values" columns and get as a result number of total different values and the values that are different?
In this example the result of that PHP function will be:
total number of different values: 1
different value: 256

A: By normalising your database. Save those values in a different table and create a new couplings table, connecting the values to the user. This will ease your development dramatically.
EDIT:
The query would then look like this:
SELECT
    value
FROM
    couplings_table
WHERE
    user_id = X
AND
    value NOT IN (SELECT
                    value
                  FROM
                    couplings_table
                  WHERE
                    user_id = Y)

A: You can use array_diff:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php

A: explode with "," and use array diff or search every item in_array and use results. I think array_diff is just for this.

Q: iText image.setRotationDegrees() not keeping a consistent origin I am using iText for Java (5.5.13) and I am experimenting with rotating PDFTemplates using the Image class. The problem is that I can't understand what iText is using for the origin when rotating the images (and I apologise in advance if I am being stupid).
Attached is the code I am using

*

*I create a PDFTemplate

*Fill it with some arbitrary colour

*Create an image from this template

*Rotate image 90 degrees

*Set absolute coords for the image

*Add to the writer

Repeat again with a second rectangle but this time rotated only 30 degrees.
Shouldn't there be a common origin between the two shapes??
(It looks like there is an unwanted translation too)
// step 1
Rectangle pageSize = PageSize.A4;
Document document = new Document(pageSize);

// step 2
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(OUTPUT_FILENAME));

// step 3
document.open();

// step 4
float boxWidth = 200;
float boxHeight = 50;
float xStart = pageSize.getWidth()/2;
float yStart = pageSize.getHeight()/2;

// Add one filled rectangle rotated 90 degrees
{
    PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
    PdfTemplate textTemplate = canvas.createTemplate(boxWidth, boxHeight);
    textTemplate.saveState();
    textTemplate.setColorFill(BaseColor.RED);
    textTemplate.rectangle(0, 0, boxWidth, boxWidth);
    textTemplate.fill();
    textTemplate.restoreState();

    Image img = Image.getInstance(textTemplate);
    img.setInterpolation(true);
    img.scaleAbsolute(boxWidth, boxHeight);
    img.setAbsolutePosition(xStart, yStart);
    img.setRotationDegrees(90);
    writer.getDirectContent().addImage(img);
}

// And another rotated 30 degrees
{
    PdfContentByte canvas = writer.getDirectContent();
    PdfTemplate textTemplate = canvas.createTemplate(boxWidth, boxHeight);
    textTemplate.saveState();
    textTemplate.setColorFill(BaseColor.BLACK);
    textTemplate.rectangle(0, 0, boxWidth, boxWidth);
    textTemplate.fill();
    textTemplate.restoreState();

    Image img = Image.getInstance(textTemplate);
    img.setInterpolation(true);
    img.scaleAbsolute(boxWidth, boxHeight);
    img.setAbsolutePosition(xStart, yStart);
    img.setRotationDegrees(30);
    writer.getDirectContent().addImage(img);
}

// step 5
document.close();

Just to add background, I am doing this as I'd like to be able to wrap up text and images inside a rotatable and positionable contained (the image class which has fixed dimensions) which I can then use for building up a model of what is laid out where within the page (with a view to trying a word-art algorithm rather like wordle's).
Thanks!

Your implicit assumption here seems to be that the template is first positioned and then rotated around some obvious special point, e.g. the lower left corner of the template.
This is not the case. Instead you can imagine that the template is rotated, then the bounding box (with edges parallel to the page edges) is determined, and the lower left corner of this bounding box is positioned at the coordinates you set using Image.setAbsolutePosition.
This becomes more obvious by drawing more rectangles, e.g. for 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°:


Before my roommate moved back to Boston, we were trying to visit all the places and restaurants in our neighborhood that had been our to-do list for a while. One of these was Jones Wood Foundry, a British pub tucked away on east 76th street.
Jones Wood Foundry gets its name because the area between 66th and 77th street and third avenue and the East River used to be known as Jones Wood before it was the Upper East Side, Yorkville, or Lennox Hill. Jones Wood was named after John Jones who owned the area in the early years of the United States. Jones Wood became known as essentially an amusement park/playground, and in 1853, it was one of two tracts of land the state saw as a possible location for a park. The other tract of land was Central Park, which was deemed more suitable because it was more convenient and accessible. Despite this, Jones Wood and its forested land was still seen as as retreat from the busy, urban area downtown. In 1894, a fire destroyed 11 of its acres, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the land started getting developed. The "foundry" party of the name comes from the fact that the building used to house a foundry that made railings, staircases, doors, lampposts, manhole covers, and the like for the city. So, there's your history lesson for the day!
There are three sections of the place: the bar, the communal table, and the dining room. The bar is at the front of the restaurant, the communal table area looks like you've stepped into an antique dining table and has views of a small courtyard (where you can also sit), and the dining room is decorated with beautiful, dark, wooden chairs and other vintage accents. The entire place really feels like a glamorous old home. It's warm, cozy, intimate, and inviting.
The menu at JWF focuses on traditional British food. They offer soups (like celery root and stilton soup with croutons and chives and butternut squash soup with sage cream and toasted pumpkin seeds, starters (like cod cakes with lemon mayonnaise and arugula and woodland mushroom salad with mint, truffle oil, arugula, and parmesan), mains (like grilled hanger steak with sautéed spinach, caramelized shallots and chips and bangers and mash with caramelized onion gravy), and sides (like yukon gold mash and minted mushy peas).
There is also a section on the menu for "Foundry Pies" that are served with mash or chips, and I knew before I even stepped foot inside the restaurant that that's what I wanted. So, I ordered the chicken pie with mash, and let me just say that this was by far the best pot pie I've EVER had. While I think a lot of things are delicious, it's not every day that I'm completely amazed and rethink a type of food. Rather than being served in a dish, the pie is stand alone, which shows you how thick the crust is. Everyone knows the crust is the best part of a pot pie, and this one was flaky, buttery, and really just perfect. At first, I was like well, all the gravy is just going to spill out when I dig in…well, turns out that's not a problem because then it just soaks in my mashed potatoes and still all tastes amazing! And there aren't any of those processed chicken cubes that you can sometimes find in pot pies. Nope! This one has delicious shredded pieces of high quality chicken.
For dessert, we shared the sticky toffee pudding which came with toffee rum sauce and vanilla ice cream. Moist and rich, it was the perfect end to our dinner, especially because of how it was a little chilly and rainy outside.
I really do love this place. The decor and ambience is spot on and the food is excellent. Take a break from your busy day and have a leisurely meal here. You won't regret it.
