1722 W End Ave, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720336.153230 -86.796031
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 9:30pm
Bad service – I have visited this restaurant for many years. Recently, we went there again and the service was really poor. They just put down the water and the waitress disappear. Also nobody checked on us if we needed assistance or not. We stacked a lot of the dirty plates on the table. When we left nobody even said thank you. Overall, it was a horrible experience. They must have a new management because in the previous years service was not this horrible :(
"Best" Chinese Food in Nashville – After few years living in Nashville, I've found that Chinese restaurants in Nashville are generally bad. None would pass muster in bigger cities with a sizable Asian population. I went here because someone told me this place had the "best" Chinese food in Nashville. My friend was probably correct, but this doesn't mean food is good.
MSG and Old Food WARNING!!! – I used to go to this restaurant on Sundays for their authentic Chinese Lunch. They truly had great food. They must have gotten rid of that Chef or they just cut back on the food quality (in Chinese rsetaurants the word quality is used loosely!) I went recentlly and my whole family got sick. They used tons of MSG and I believe the food was very old. That is why inferior chinese cooks use MSG - it enhances old food. It took me 2 weeks to get over the bloating feeling from the food. I workout very day - running and I had the hardest time running for about 3-4 days after eating here. My family has decided we will NEVER give this place a try again!!
Best Chinese this side of town – It took me a minute to find a Chinese Restaurant in my part of town that was not greasy and left me feeling sick. Golden Coast is reasonably priced and my family and I love it!
ICK! – Maybe the worst Chinese Food in town. Disgusting! I hated it, i don't know how this place stays in business :P
Simply Fair – I once had the best Chinese food in my life delivered in Nashville, but forgot to keep the menu. I have been trying to find that place again for some time. This place was not it. The food here was fair, but not great. I actually liked their chicken, nice white meat that was juicy, but the sauce for it was not on point. The fried rice they served was not the type of fried rice I was used to. I would not dine here again for the simple fact that I know that something even better is out there.
Missing Cat – About a year ago, I lost my cat Sparky. I had posted flyers asking for his return dead or alive. To my surprise, I found him last night at Golden Coast. I believe he was in the Sweet and Sour Chicken. But he could have been in the Orange Duck as well. It wouldn?t have a make a difference because all the dishes tasted like MSG. My boyfriend and I felt like dried, brittle sponges for days after consuming that amount of salt. There wasn?t enough water in the Cumberland River to quench our thirst. Please don?t waste your time, money, or stomach on this dump!
Best Chinese buffet in Nashville. – Whenever I visit Nashville on a weekend, this is a must for the best, authentic, Chinese food. There are lots of specialty dishes here not easily found, like agar-agar desserts in various fruit flavors, bubble tea, a saucy seaweed dish that's to die for, and shrimp and fish dishes expertly cooked, and a savory, fried pork sparerib that melts in your mouth. The food is always fresh and abundant. No wonder you can find most of Nashville's Chinese community having brunch here on a Saturday or Sunday. Don't miss it.
Great weekend buffete – I went with my Chinese Mom a few weeks back........The food was surprisingly good for Nashville. Best stuff around! Fresh, well done, No MSG as the buffet sign proclaims, and very good selection. The congee was good. All the other items we had were excellent: Braised beef, steamed chicken, dumplings, vegetables, etc.
Kind of a combination of really good chinese food and Dim Sum.
They also will make any special requests for you.....just call ahead and they will make it for your.
Best AUTHENTIC Chinese I have ever had – It's not in New York, it's not in San Francisco, D.C. or anywhere else I have looked for the best authentic Chinese food in the states. They only do it on the weekends and if you only speak English you are going to be in the minority. Best stuff around! Fresh, well done, No MSG as the buffet sign proclaims, and very good selection. Be forewarned, if you just want General Tsos, Mongolian beef and Sweet and Sour Pork go to August Moon (it is on the weekend buffet at Golden Coast though not the greatest like the other real stuff). But if you want salt and pepper squid, beef tripe, steamed buns, seaweed salad, and steamed fish, GO HERE!!!! Even if you like the Americanized stuff, you got to try the real stuff once in your life.

Ahem, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a Midwestern gal. LOL
My name is Tami, and I live in the middle of a cornfield surrounded by cows, horses, chickens, and just about any other farm animal you can imagine with a few friendly domestics thrown in for good measure.
Baby, one of my two beloved house cats is my assistant.
She checks all my work for typos to make sure it's purrrrfect. So if you happen to come across a misspelled word--blame her.
I live out here with my hubby of 24 years. He's my honest-to-goodness knight in shining armor, and my biggest fan. I have two grown children, and two small grandchildren (who are coming over to visit yaya and papa today, so I'll be in and out throughout the day and it may take me a while to get this section of my new home all spiffy.)
Through all of life's little ups and down, and rollercoaster spins, I've been a writer, but it wasn't until my kids grew up and the house got quiet, thereby allowing my thoughts and imagination free rein that I sat down seriously. Since that time, I've written a myriad of articles, short stories, and several novels, all of which I'm anxious to tell you about--
So sit back, have a nice fresh cup of coffee, compliments of the wonderful ladies here at Coffee Time, and chat with me awhile.

U.S. Customs and Cuban Cigars
Our European editor discovers that America's borders are safe and secure against Cuban tobacco products.
From the Print Edition:
Tiger Woods, May/June 2008
After a week in Havana at the annual cigar festival, our European editor discovers that America's borders are safe and secure against Cuban tobacco products
I had a feeling it wasn't a good idea that I had those loose cigars in my bag the moment I left the Meliá Cohiba hotel in Havana in the dark at 5:30 a.m. to catch the 7:25 flight to Cancún. But there wasn't anything I could do about it. They were in my courier bag, and I wasn't going to give them to my taxi driver, or just leave them in the room.
Cancún was not my final destination that early March morning after a gala dinner that capped a five-day cigar festival on the island. I was going to catch a flight to Dallas and then to Santa Ana, California, for the 50th birthday party of a high school buddy. My port of entry into the United States was Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
I had good reason to be a little nervous. I have an affluent Mexican friend who was strip-searched in DFW just because he made a joke to a Customs official. Another friend at the gala dinner told me to "have fun in Customs in Dallas tomorrow. They are real bastards."
Technically, even licensed travelers to Cuba, like myself, are not allowed to carry any goods from the island into the United States, except for art, literature or other information material. But I figured a dozen or two cigars weren't going to set off an international incident. And I didn't have to leave them in the States because I would be returning to my home in Italy about a week later. The Cuban cigars, let us say, were in transit. Moreover, U.S. Customs had never stopped me before. In fact, a number of times Customs officials had just said to go right through even though I told them that I had a few cigars.
However, I knew I was in trouble the moment I arrived at immigration and the officer wanted to know what sort of business I was in. I said I was the European editor of Cigar Aficionado. My customs and immigration form noted that I had been to Cuba as well as Mexico.
"When was the last time you were in Cuba?" he asked.
"This morning," I replied.
With that, he drew a big red "C" in the corner with his felt pen. I was directed to the customs hall for inspection. I wasn't that worried about it, though. The worse thing that they could do was confiscate the cigars.
I walked into the vast inspection area, which included six or seven booths with long, stainless steel tables behind them. The place was empty and almost echoed. One of the three Customs officers on duty was already checking out a couple who looked as if they had been on my flight.

My family and I had the most wonderful time staying with Wesley and Eamon. They are amazing hosts, and really made us feel like we were visiting cousins. They answered all of our questions, and gave us some great tips for exploring Dublin. On the first night we were there they helped us get delivery food, and Eamon even went on a Guinness/Bulmers run! (Thanks again!) the room was great, and and appartment was really cozy with a great view. They left us a great spread every morning for breakfast. The Bus stop is practically right outside of their door, and there's a LUAS stop a little past that so it made it very easy to get into town and see everything we wanted. Wish we could have stayed another day. Would definately recommend!
Wesley took all neccessary steps to make our time in Dublin memorable. His flat is modern, homely and comfortable with great views of the new skyline of the city. We found the flat well located in the docks area of the city, as it is a short walk into the centre of town with convenient bus and tram stops close by. We didn´t have the opportunity to meet Wesley on this trip as work had taken him out of town, but we very much appreciated being met at the airport by his friend Derek, who welcomed us and helped us get our bearings straight away. We would highly recommend staying here. Wesley is a professional host and extrememly reliable and thoughtful.
Although Wesley had to leave town during my stay, he surely looked after me and answered my needs. The flat was clean and spacious. Wesley provided various choices for breakfast, fruit, cereals, porridge, toast, juice and milk. Teas and coffee are provided as well. The flat was at a good location. I walked for about 20 mins to the city center every day during my stay. The bus stop was not far away either. I really enjoy my stay at Wesley's place!
Wesley and Eamon were the perfect hosts for my friend and me during our first trip to Dublin. Always very friendly and so welcoming, the two had some great recommendations for us and know the city very well, which was much appreciated during the tourist-heavy St. Patrick's Day weekend where the crowds were bigger than usual. The communication was always very easy and open, making aspects like check in/check out totally smooth.
The apartment is a nice 25-30 minute walk along the river from the center of everything. However, for those who might be looking for something faster, there's public transportation just around the corner that comes pretty frequently. A taxi home from the nightlife was only about 10 euro as well. The room was spacious, just as the photos show, and we were always comfortable. It certainly felt like home to us!
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Dublin - Wesley and Eamon will make you feel welcome and can share the locals' tips and recommendations with you, too!
Wesley was a wonderful host and the apartment was brilliant; nice location and great views of Dublin. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Wir hatten eine großartige Zeit bei Wesley!
Er hat sich immer super um uns gekümmert, den Flughafentransfer organisiert, lecker Frühstück hergerichtet und uns tolle Tips für die City und das Umland von Dublin gegeben.
Das Zimmer ist super sauber, Wohnung gepflegt und das eigene Bad ebenso.
Immer wieder gerne! Danke Wesley!
Weasley was a great first host for me at AirBnB. I'll try it again for sure.
The room, bathroom and apartment was all up to expectations. He took me in on very short notice which I appreciate.
All good! My recommendations.
Wesley is a very nice host, although unfortunately we never had the chance to meet, he made everything to make us feel at home: organizing the transfer from the airport, the breakfast every morning etc. He was very easy to communicate with all the time.
The apartment is very nice, just like on the photos, and basically we had it all to ourselves.
We had a great experience in Wesley's flat in Dublin, I'd definately recommend to book here if you don't mind not being exactly in the city center.
Wesley was a very nice host and the place is fantastic:spacious, bright and clean. He always left a varied breakfast laid out for us and offered to help every time. Bus stop is 2 min away from the apartment and the walk to the center is a nice half an hour.
Bed was not the most comfortable, I must say, but still nice enough.
I would definitely recommend the place to anybody visiting Dublin.
This was such a wonderful stay! Eammon was out of town for work, so we just stayed with Wesley. Wesley was very kind and met us at the bus stop so he could show us where the apartment was. He gave us a map of Dublin and showed us on the map where the various public transportation stops nearby were as well as things we might want to visit. The apartment was spotless, the room we stayed in was very pretty and comfortable, and the breakfast makings (eggs, toast, cereal, juice, yogurt, etc.) Wesley laid out for us each morning were great. If we visited Dublin again we would certainly stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Translated by Brian Murdoch.

Set in Palatino with Divinia display.more details
'This book is intended neither as an accusation nor as a confession, but simply as an attempt to give an account of a generation that was destroyed by the war – even those of it who survived the shelling'- from Geoff Dyer's introduction
Few novels have described the reality of the First World War with such honesty and raw eloquence as All Quiet on the Western Front. The most famous German anti-war novel, it was based on Remarque's own experiences in the trenches. Over a million copies were sold in the year after its first publication in 1929, and an award-winning film adaptation followed in 1930. The book was later banned by the Nazis, who also revoked Remarque's citizenship.
Paul Baumer is 18 when he and his friends enlist, on the urging of a teacher who calls them 'young men of iron'. Later Paul remarks: 'Young? None of us is more than twenty. But young? Young men? That was a long time ago. We are old now.' Idealistic recruits become caustic, hardened veterans through the daily horrors they witness and the attitudes of the complacent society which, in Paul's view, has brought those horrors about. Some are slow to understand the new situation; one boy takes his physics textbooks to the trenches. The others soon realise they are in a nightmare world, where soldiers march to the front past their own coffins, where bodies can be blown apart in seconds, and where a pair of boots or a piece of bread is more important than any abstract notion of honour or patriotism.
Comradeship is the only solace, and there are jokes and lighter moments, as when the theft of a goose becomes an impromptu feast, but these become fewer as the casualties mount and the trauma intensifies. Remarque charts the mental breakdown and disconnection that takes place in a world that makes no sense, where men are 'silently, uncomprehendingly, foolishly, obediently and innocently killing one another'. A new introduction by Geoff Dyer places the book in the context of First World War literature written by 'suffering victims of a war machine which had taken on a purpose and momentum of its own'.

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
Washington, DC, November 6, 2000 – In The Future of Financial Privacy: Private Choices Versus Political Rules, a new book from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an array of US and European legal and economic experts explore the ongoing debate over financial privacy in the United States and abroad. The book features essays by George W. Bush economic advisor Lawrence Lindsay, Novecon Financial chairman Richard Rahn, Swiss Private Bankers Association secretary general Michel Y. Dérobert, and DaimlerChrysler chief data protection officer Dr. Alfred Büllesbach, among several others. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Through a wide-ranging series of essays, The Future of Financial Privacy explains how to protect consumers' privacy while preserving the benefits of free flows of information, and explores what role the government should play in realizing these goals. The book is a vital resource for understanding public policy debates on financial services issues ranging from the confidentiality of what's in your bank account to the mining and sharing of data.
The Future of Financial Privacy is being published under the auspices of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Project on Financial Privacy, formed in 1999 to respond to new challenges in the regulation of the financial services industry and coordinated by CEI Senior Analyst Solveig Singleton.

The obvious drawback to offering predictions about Tuesday's election is that you might be wrong about key races and thus dent whatever reputation you have for political insight.
"I don't know" is always a correct answer. "We'll see. Time will tell. It depends."
Many highly opinionated people in and out of media shrug their way through the run-up to elections, their voices — usually so eager to analyze and project, to hypothesize and postulate — rendered mute by fear masquerading as modesty.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
We get it. You're not an oracle.
And if concealing that fact is your definition of probity then I doubt I'll be able to entice you into entering this year's competition to win the Crystal Blog, a wholly imaginary and worthless trophy I award after major elections to the reader who offers the most accurate forecasts.
Serious contestants consult the latest polls — realclearpolitics.com and pollster.com are two I've bookmarked — read the nerdy analysis at fivethirtyeight.com and sprinkle in a little intuition. Others scan the headlines and go with their gut feelings and rooting interests.
Why bother? Because it's fun. Because it's human nature to make educated guesses about what's going to happen next, whether you're a sports fan, an Oscar buff, a market watcher or a follower of cliffhanger TV shows.
Because putting down markers engages emotionally in the outcome, and engagement beats detachment every time.
Anyway, here are this year's Crystal Blog challenges, with my predictions highlighted in bold:
1. U.S. president: Mitt Romney (R) or Barack Obama (D)
2. 10th Illinois Congressional District: Brad Schneider (D) or Bob Dold (R)
3. 8th Illinois Congressional District: Joe Walsh (R) or Tammy Duckworth (D)
4. 11th Illinois Congressional District: Bill Foster (D) or Judy Biggert (R)
5. Indiana U.S. Senate: Richard Mourdock (R) or Joe Donnelly (D)

A week ago I was planning to predict a Romney victory. Though the momentum he'd gained after the presidential debate in early October had slowed and he was running behind in key state polls, his campaign seemed to have its mojo working.

Happy Friday
I like the curious and suspicious look on Nolan's face.
I like the genuine smile on Collin's face.
I like how big my glasses look on mine.
I especially like how even though it's pouring rain, and pretty cold, we were happy.
Today that's a good reminder for me.
I'm grateful that Collin's working so hard and that there's an end in sight.
He's almost done with year 1 of his masters program. WOOT!
I'm grateful that Nolan is so patient with me.
I'm grateful that my daddy always has time for me.
There is a lot to be grateful for, and these are just a few things, but they're big things to me.
Now, do yourself a favor and go look at how AMAZING my friend Tyrell and her husband Jake are. They are home make-over geniuses.

I stumbled onto your blog a week or so ago and spent all my down time reading posts.
I just came across this lovely hand painted book on Etsy and it reminded me of your story so I had to share.
:) Have a good weekend!

PPC Management
- Google Adwords Qualified Staff
- Dedicated Account Manager
- No Lengthy Contracts
- Thorough Keyword Research
- Ad Split Testing
- Budget Control & Management
- Conversions Analysis
Make your mark within the paid search arena by looking into the affordable PPC management options from SEO Positive.
As a popular alternative to organic search, Pay Per Click management makes use of the paid search platform offered by Google, allowing companies to bid for advertising space within the generated search results. These ads will link back to a specially designed landing page, which will then act to encourage the user to enquire or buy.
Also known as paid search advertising, PPC tends to achieve faster results, as targeted ads can be distributed within a matter of minutes. This is what makes Pay Per Click marketing the choice of preference for the most driven businesses.
Pay Per Click Marketing
Another reason this approach is so popular is because it means companies can target larger amounts of lucrative search terms. Forming the core of any PPC campaign, keyword research is naturally one of the first steps undertaken, as relevant ads need to match the user's particular web search.
These actions are then followed by thorough testing, adjusting ad copy and landing pages as necessary to improve the performance of the campaign and drive up overall conversion rates. It is even possible within PPC marketing to adjust the time during which ads are displayed in order to target specific user groups.
Google AdWords Management
Naturally to run an effective PPC campaign, it is imperative to have a full knowledge and understanding of Google AdWords. However for those not in the internet marketing profession this can be a lengthy and complicated task.
The day to day administration of PPC management, whilst trying to generate a noticeable ROI demands an in-depth understanding of consumers' browsing habits and impeccable attention to detail.
Why Let Us Manage Your Paid Search Campaign?
SEO Positive boasts a team of PPC specialists who have the skills and expertise to steer your campaign in the right direction from the beginning.
Our PPC agency will determine a clear strategy from the very first consultation. Our account managers will focus on outlining the following:

We will comply with all best practice guidelines to make sure that your PPC campaign is as watertight as possible, eliminating room for error and ensuring that your Pay Per Click account is structured simply in order that you understand the data presented to you.

We also offer Unlimited Blowdry's You start out treated to a moment of wellness.This starts to release tension. You then get an outstanding technical service - both skilled and inspired. Our stylists learn to excute their own vision in a way that suits your wants and needs.
T.Criddle at the Roseville salon is a genius!! When I first came to her my hair was a short curly mess! We started using a smoothing treatment and my hair has transformed into smooth, long, amazing hair that I love for the first time!! Thanks to T and her amazing products for giving me the hair I always wanted!!
Recently moving from New Jersey to California I was very nevous about finding someone who would be able to do my hair the way my previous salon had. Kristen, my stylist at Aveda was beyond excellent. My color and cut never looked better, the service/salon was outstanding. I will definetly be going back.
Just got my hair done by Ti Criddle. It looks absolutely amazing and she is the most skilled hairstylist I've ever been to. I'm very picky about my hair and every time I go to see her, I'm amazed at how fabulous my hair looks when I walk out. I have long blond hair, which needs it's "natural" blond highlights touched up every so often. Ti always listens to what I want and delivers perfect hair every time. Also, my hair is GREAT shape which is incredible since it's so long. Thank you so much, Ti, for being so good at what you do!
I just moved to CA and was very nervous about finding a new salon to get my hair done. Kelsey did my services and did a terrific job! She took her time with the consult to really understand what issues I was having and I was totally happy afterwards. The place is super cute and the girls at reception were very sweet & attentive. Already have my appointment to go back!
Jessie is one of the BEST – Jessie is AWESOME, be sure to schedule in advance!
Ti (Hairstylist) – It's always difficult to move and find a new hairstylist, especially when you also need someone to color your hair! My first few experiences in CA were not good, until I met Ti at Willow Salon in Roseville.
A hairstylist sees you first at your worst and then at your best. They know the good things about you and the bad. They share your triumphs and empathize with your defeats.
Ti took the time to listen to what I was trying to describe and developed the MOST BEAUTIFUL shades of red! She knows when to stay the same and when it's time to experiment! It is amazing to watch her in action and see the attention to detail as she creates her masterpiece! I have respected Ti since I met her almost two years ago, but recently, she showed me what an exceptional person she is as well!
My son (22) recently suffered a massive stroke. I had to cancel one appt; the next, I felt guilty for showing up. Ti asked if I wanted to talk, I said no. She worked in a professional manner, checking on me throughout the experience. My son was always rather vain and two months after the stroke, looking rather shabby! He is still in Rehab and unable to go to a barbershop. I spoke to Ti and she volunteered to come to the Rehab facility to cut his hair (after a full day of work!). She was SO kind and compassionate with him, speaking to him and showing patience as she asked what he wanted (something that a lot of people don't do). She made him feel "normal" during the time it took to cut and style his hair. She did all of this out of the goodness of her heart and asked for nothing in return!
I simply do not have the words to describe the quality of Ti's work, her professionalism, and her compassion.
Ti is definetly the person you want to see!
Great Color Options – I have recently started coloring my hair and really like the Aveda options. I have had no allergic reaction with the dye and the stylists are great with the application. The styling products are great and I even love the smell of the hairspray! Everyone listens how how I like my hair cut and respect my easy going hairstyle!
Tabitha is awesome and needs a raise!!! – I have been going to Willo Aveda for almost 2 years, and I would highly recommend Tabitha. She has cut/colored my hair for almost a year now. She knows what she's doing, especially with shorter styles. She has short hair, so she understands how to cut it so it doesn't lose its shape or end up looking like a mushroom or a mullet. Tabitha is awesome! She's friendly without being pushy or obnoxious, and makes you feel comfortable right away.
I also would recommend Faith! She always does a great job, too!!
Worst nail service – Willo does not "do" nails like a nail salon. I went back to have my nails redone, the first time the polish was put in the center of my nail away from the cuticles which they did nothing to. The products they use are designed to remove the dead skin of cuticles, which does not work, My nails looked like my 7 year old granddaughter painted them. The second girl admitted that she was not good at painting nails. The second time around they were somewhat better, but still not great. I was suppose to get my hair done after my nails, which I was told would be just a few minutes, but after waiting for 35 minutes I finally asked if they forgot me, no one even bothered to let me know she was running behind.
The hair cut was OK nothing to make me want to go back for. My daughter color washed out after they washed her hair, the cut was not done in away she can do the style the way it was done in the salon.
The price of their services is way Too high for what you get. I left the place stressed and uptight due to waiting so long, my nails and they were not going to honor my Groupon. but the manager worked it out. I still had pay more then my Groupon when I had worked it all out with the receptionist prior to the appointment, I should have had money left on the Groupon. Becareful they forward the phones between the three sites, but you do not know that you have reached a different location and then book at the wrong location.
Bottom line not worth your money or time
Worst hair color EVER – I went in for a cut and color, at first it was too brown, I cam in with blond highlights and ended up with ashy blond hair and she did not cover the gray in my roots. Went in to have it corrected and it is now an orange color. This woman got conditioner in my ears and said not one word to me while she did the "correction" and was not even the original stylist that did my hair. I would HIGHLY recommend going elswhere. Very unprofessional staff and service. These people do not know what they are doing.

Back at Straub's for a short time only: Limited Edition Patric Salty Signature Seventy Chocolate Bars!
Back at Straub's for a short time only: Limited Edition Patric Salty Signature Seventy Chocolate Bars! There will only be 12 bars available at each Straub's location.
Founder and head chocolate maker, Alan McClure, had this to say:
"On a foundation of our award-winning Signature 70% blend, we have sprinkled Prussian Blue salt for sparkle, and Bali Kechil sea salt for crunch. The result inspires the taste buds!
We sourced both of these salts with the advice and assistance of The Meadow in NYC, home of the world's best Selmelier: Mark Bitterman, author of Salted: A Manifesto on the World's Most Essential Mineral.
This bar is a limited edition release, and when all 800 bars are gone, we won't be crafting more until 2014."
Hurry in to try this beauty of a bar before it's gone!

Being an older gamer (35+), I have a hard time with games where you need 2 hands, know multiple combinations and race against time in order to win. Mystery P.I. : Portrait of a Thief is a fun hidden objects game with mini games thrown in. There is a nice story line, but you don't really need to ...more

Unifdef is useful for removing #ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. You specify which symbols are defined or undefined with -D and -U flags, and unifdef removes the corresponding ifdefs, and the enclosed code if appropriate. It's especially useful for removing those "#ifdef BROKEN" and "#ifdef PRIVATE" clauses from code before you release it. Unifdef acts on #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif, #else, and #endif lines, and it knows only enough about C and C++ to know when one of these is inactive because it is inside a comment or a single or double quote.

AS Nancy Lorraine v Stade Rennes: Preview
Rennes head coach Frederic Antonetti is all too aware that appearances can be deceiving as he prepares his side to visit lowly Nancy tomorrow night.
The north-eastern outfit are stranded at the bottom of Ligue 1 thanks to a run of 10 games without victory - including eight defeats - that has left Jean Fernandez's men five points from safety.
Antonetti oversaw Rennes' own sluggish start to the season, and he knows that a few good results can quickly propel a side up the league table.
He told staderennais.com: ``I watched their losses against PSG (1-0) and Nice (2-1) and the scores could easily have gone in their favour.
``I think there are lot of worse teams than Nancy. I'm pretty sure they'll stay up.''
Mevlut Erdinc has scored in four of Rennes' last six league outings but Antonetti is sure there is even more to come from the Turkish striker.
``He's the complete striker, he's good with his head, his right foot and his left foot,'' he added.
``He knows how to be at the centre of moves but he just needs to work a bit harder on his build-up play.
``He can give us an edge in games.''
The Breton side sit ninth after sealing four wins from their last five games, as well as progressing to the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue at the expense of Arles-Avignon last week.
Antonetti added: ``Our last two games were interesting, but we did not even make the most of having so many chances on goal.
``We have to keep moving forward with the same enthusiasm while trying to be a bit more efficient.''
At his own pre-match press conference, Nancy boss Fernandez said: ``We just need things to click.
``There have been matches this year that we would never have lost last year.
``There is always some crucial mistake during the match. It's not a problem of organisation.
``Sometimes you enter a rut where you don't enjoy any success but all it takes to get out of it is winning one match.''

For the remainder of the contest, the Blue and Gold defense caged Smith and the rest of the Mustangs' offense as Reed took the northern Nevada large school title with a 50-9 victory.
Everywhere Smith went, a swarm of Raiders followed. When the standout tailback rushed up the middle, he encountered a wall of defenders. If he tried to use his speed to stretch a run out to the edge, the Raiders beat him to the corner. Twenty-five times Smith searched for a crack in the Reed defense, and 25 times he found nothing. The second leading rusher in the state, who carried Damonte to the regional title game with three straight games of 239, 316 and 113 yards on the ground and eight touchdowns, never found the end zone against the Raiders and totaled just 58 yards, his lowest output of the season.
"The defense did a great job of keying in on their best offensive weapon in Drew Smith," Reed coach Ernie Howren said. "The kid is a dynamite player. To hold him to under 70 yards in the rushing game was a pretty tall task, considering what he was putting up for the last three or four weeks.
"It was definitely a group effort. It was our inside linebackers, our safeties, our D-line. Jared Greenwall came up with a huge tackle where he scrapped flat down the line of scrimmage and tackled Drew for about a 1-yard gain that could have easily been about a 65-yard touchdown. That was just one example of many from each position contributing to stop Drew."
The effort on the defensive side of the ball allowed the RHS offense to find its groove as it stumbled out of the gates to begin the game. A pair of costly fumbles left the Raiders ahead just 6-3 at the end of one quarter.
Once Reed quarterback Mark Nowaczewski and the Raiders got going though, there was no stopping them. They scored on six straight possessions, putting up 38 points in a matter of just over 12 minutes of play.
"Damonte did a good job of stripping the ball twice on us. We had a couple of big gains and they got our guys from behind and stripped the ball away, so the credit goes to Damonte on that," Howren said. "After that though, I felt like the kids did a good job of taking the things that Damonte was giving to us defensively. The kids were able to execute and take advantage of those things."
The dominating performance on the part of the Raiders earned them a home date against Bishop Gorman in an upcoming state semifinal. While Smith and Damonte presented plenty of problems in the North championship, Howren said the Gaels will create dilemmas all over the field.
"The reality is you're playing Gorman," he said. "They are just bigger, faster and stronger than any other football team we've seen. They have a great coaching staff. Everything we do we have to be cleaner and more physical if we want to put ourselves in a position to play against those guys."

In 1995 the Center for Environmental Biotechnology was set up as a multidivisonal center under the direction of Dr. Jennie Hunter-Cevera. In 1998, the Ecology Department was created within the Earth Sciences Division to provide personnel resource management for scientists and engineers within ESD whose expertise was in the general area of ecology, including population ecology, community ecology, systems ecology and environmental engineering. This was a new department, and the personnel were originally scattered among the other ESD departments, though most were under the Center for Environmental Biotechnology. In 1999, the name of the Ecology Department was changed to the Microbial Ecology and Environmental Engineering Department, because it was felt that this more closely reflected the expertise of the small group of scientists and engineers that were within that department. Hydroecological engineering advanced decision support (HEADS) was organized as a new group within the Department in the spring of 2002. This group focused on water and wastewater research, with an initial special emphasis on California water resource issues. The department name was changed back to the Ecology Department in 2004.
The personnel within the Ecology Department are primarily supported by the Environmental Remediation & Water Resources Program; however, they also are supported by the Energy Resources Program and the Climate and Carbon Sciences Program. The personnel in the Ecology Department are also the primary support staff for the Center for Environmental Biotechnology (CEB), which houses all of their offices and laboratory facilities. The expertise that exists within the Ecology Department and the unique facilities provided by the CEB allow the department to provide biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, and environmental engineering support to all ESD programs, in particular to the Environmental Remediation and Water Resources Program, Energy Resources Program, and Climate and Carbon Sciences Program. The current Ecology Department Head is Gary Andersen (pictured above with prior Ecology Department Head Terry Hazen in the background).

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
Outreach Services, Databases and Computers, and the Young People's Department reach beyond the traditional library services to meet the diverse needs of our Community.
Outreach [1] Services
The Bookvan makes bi-weekly visits to Head Starts, daycares, nursing homes and retirement centers. One person praises the Bookvan as " a blessing and a service for seniors and the physically disabled."
Book Buddies [2]
In 2002, our 135 Book Buddy volunteers hand-selected and personally delivered 9,300 books and books on tape to 130 homebound adults. One book buddy refers to her volunteer as, "more than a book buddy she's my friend".
Adult Basic Literacy and ESL
Knowing how to read and speak English is an important step in becoming a productive member of society. A majority of the estimated 30,000 Spanish-speaking members of the community cannot speak English. Thirty percent of people in Central Kentucky are functionally illiterate. To serve the needs of this segment of our population, the library has maintained its long-standing partnership with Operation Read.
The Library provides a space at the Carnegie Center, training for staff and volunteers, and grant writing assistance to Operation Read, which in turn offers basic Adult literacy services for English and non-English speaking people in the area. In 2002, over 1000 students, representing 20 different languages, took advantage of these programs.
Advanced Literacy Programs
On its own, the Library offers programs requested by adult learners who have completed basic ESL, but need additional resources to perfect their skills. In programs such as the Learners as Teachers Internship, a graduate of ESL is employed to teach other adult learners ESL computer programs especially designed for this target group.
These literacy programs give people the skills they need to exercise their right to information. They allow all people to stand on equal ground and utilize the options given to us in our free society.
For more information on Outreach [1] Services, visit the Lexington Public Library's Outreach Department page [3].
Databases and Computers
Free Computers and Computer Classes
Technological advances have created a need for Computer literacy programs. Many people who don't have a computer, or who lack computer skills, find help at the Library. By offering computers and computer classes to the community, the library maintains a level playing field for all individuals.
In the past year, over 220,000 Lexington/Fayette County residents used the library's 202 public access computers. The Central Library computer lab is equipped with 10 computers and a workstation designed for those with special needs.
The library also provided 341 free computer classes in computer applications to 2,405 adults! These classes range in subjects from How to Use a Mouse, to designing your first Power Point presentation. The library also has two wireless mobile computer labs to teach these classes at the Branches.
While the internet is a worthy source of news and entertainment, the Electronic, On-Line Reference database collection offers more accurate sources for reliable research information.
Through the Library web page, everyone, anywhere, can access Databases containing ancestry records, local history, investment reports, encyclopedias, poem and book finders, topical searches designed especially for kids, medical help, newspapers and more!
Also found on our web page is a new and innovative addition, Live Homework Help. Now, any student with a library card [4] and access to a computer, be it at home, school or the library, can receive free homework help from a live, professional English-or-Spanish-speaking, tutor.
Our new Spanish-English Information Kiosk opens a world of resources to the English-and-Spanish-speaking residents of Lexington. Many of our Hispanic neighbors are new to this area, and are unaware of services available to them. Using the Kiosk, they not only have access to the Library and its catalog, but to medical information, legal help, women's issues, direct telephone lines to emergency help agencies, and other community services.
Young People's Department
Research shows that reading as few as few as 5 books over the summer can enable a student to maintain-and improve-reading levels in preparation for the coming school year. To encourage this practice, the Library has conducted its Summer Reading Program for more than 30 years.
The mission of the Summer Reading Program is to strengthen children's reading skills over the summer and to instill a love of reading. A trained librarian helps the Young People choose books from our reading list related to their interests and hobbies.
The Summer Reading Program also presents multicultural entertainment programs designed for entire families. Included in these events are relevant books that families can read together. Last years performances included African and Irish dancing, Stories from Ancient China, and Animals of the World, which brought live, exotic animals to the Library.

Trees and sunshine
This week, March 14 to March 21, is proclaimed Sunshine Week in California. Not referring to the abundant sunshine that we enjoy here, but rather the term is used to shine a light on political processes and to foster transparency in all corners of government.
Last week, March 7 to March 14 was Arbor Week in California. Cities have to apply and pass muster with the National Arbor Day Foundation to be recognized as a Tree City. There are 124 Tree Cities in this state — Encinitas is not one of them.
There is a nexus between these two weeks, coming one after the other, that reflects the deficit in the lack of processes practiced in Encinitas city government.
In the middle of Arbor Week, irate Encinitas residents were protesting in a City Council meeting because staff members, ignoring process and public concerns, cut down 11 young healthy trees in the Orpheus Neighborhood Park so that a few condo owners could improve their ocean view. I don't know how the Arbor Foundation will view this city's action, but I doubt that it will sit well with an organization whose purpose is maintaining a healthy urban forest.
The Encinitas Environmental Commission has developed an Urban Forest Policy and aspires to be designated a Tree City. The policy was presented at the March 18 City Council meeting. Now it goes to the staff to write up the procedures for operation. Will this policy prevent an Orpheus Park incident from happening again? Some public process needs to be assured and built-in to the procedures. The policy and the procedures need to return to the Environmental Commission and City Council for review and a second public hearing.
The Brown Act is our Sunshine Law in California, which assures us of accountability and transparency in government. The Freedom of Information Act, Federal Advisory Committee Act and the Sunshine Act are the federal laws granting us access to public records and open meetings.
When Brown Act violations occur, it does not bode well for city governments. While the trees in Orpheus Park were being cut down, the three majority council members engaged in a serial e-mail exchange among themselves on this issue. With more than two members discussing an issue, it constitutes a collective concurrence outside the purview of the public, a Brown Act violation.
Closed sessions are meetings where all City Council members meet to discuss: a) possible or real lawsuits/legal action; b) salaries/pay and benefits for staff; c) purchase of property for parks, city projects, etc., without the public in attendance.
Closed sessions are required to be noticed with an agenda.
In Encinitas, the way in which Closed Sessions are being noticed to the public constitutes a Brown Act violation. Currently all Closed Sessions are being noticed as a "Special Meeting," which means the city is only required to give 24 hours notice versus the 72 hours notice normally required for regular agendas. Result: It doesn't give the public adequate notification should they want to speak to any issue listed. It shows yet another attempt to circumvent the public process.
Marco Gonzales, co-founder of the Coast Law Group and an Encinitas resident, spoke before the council at the March 11 meeting: "The integrity of your entire government structure is called into question — not just the underhandedness, it is about avoiding process and not having process. We have a systemic problem here in the city with regards to governance. It has led to a lack of confidence of your constituency. It is not hard to govern well, just set the rules and follow them."
Sheila S. Cameron is an Encinitas resident and former mayor of Encinitas.
Filed Under: Community Commentary
Comments (1)
Thank you, Sheila Cameron for another excellent community commentary, which highlights the City of Encinitas' challenges with open, accountable government, responsive to the citizens.
I hope that the actual "policy manual" with regard to maintaining and preserving city trees will be specific and will make sure that nothing ever happens again like what took place in Orpheus Park.
One of the main public concerns regarding taking out eleven healthy trees, there, was the lack of opportunity for citizen input and Council discussion at a public hearing BEFORE the much loved trees were "axed."
One public speaker at the 3/18/09 Encinitas Council Meeting brought in the Davis' Tree Policy Manual. This would be a good guide to establishing our policy here. What we don't want in Encinitas is for the three man majority on Council to continue to ignore the public outcry and to write one another and staff, while making it clear they WERE NOT WILLING TO WAIT FOR PUBLIC INPUT. The e-mails that were exchanged constituted wrongful Council "meetings" according to the Brown Act, and were apparently the reason the City Manager told Chris Hazeltine, of the Parks and Recreation Department to go ahead, don't wait for a public hearing.
Dan Dalager WAS INVOLVED despite what he said at the 3/11/09 Council Meeting. He wrote a letter to all of Council, much of staff, which he also copied to the Media, blasting Teresa Barth by implication, and saying that she was interfering with staff, and "waving red flags." He went over to Paul Ecke school and spoke to teachers there, objecting to the peaceful protest in which students had participated, trying to save the trees.

SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. - A memo seems to spell out a ticket quota policy for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. NewsChannel5 Investigates found proof that quotas do exist in Middle Tennessee.
Law enforcement supervisors at every level said quotas are bad policy and they insist quotas do not exist.
A memo was posted at the THP headquarters in Springfield for all troopers to see and the message in black and white seems crystal clear - write more tickets or else.
Sgt. Cliff Babits name is on the memo posted this past February. Troopers are warned the number of tickets written will influence their evaluations and that 'low activity is a killer.'
The author writes, 'Let me stress I am not putting a quota on anyone.' But on the very next page there's a three to five point scoring system.
Troopers are rewarded for a higher score, 600 citations per year = 60 tickets per month. This is average and average is 3.
Then 700 citations per year = 70 tickets per month. This is slightly above average and that could get a trooper a 4.
Finally, 800 citations per year = 80 tickets per month. This along with excelling in your other duties can justify a 5.
Attorney Fletcher Long obtained a copy of the memo from an angry client. He's long argued in court that quotas exist with no success, but now he has proof.
"It's appalling. Absolutely appalling," said Long. "It's just very clear here that's the quota system."
Perhaps most disturbing to those who've seen the memo - this paragraph: 'Effective immediately, a trooper that does not produce above average activity (17.5 tickets per week) will not be able to work grant overtime in my county. If a trooper doesn't earn it, he or she will not get it!'
So was THP sergeant Cliff Babits pressured by higher-ups to produce more tickets? If so - how widespread is the quota policy?
NewsChannel5 Investigates put those questions to Col. Mike Walker, head of the state highway patrol; you'll be surprised to hear what Babits has to say about the memo. That part of the story Tuesday at 10 p.m.

The best of the best pizza! – Best pizza, great breadsticks, awesome antipasta! An experience everyone needs to have!
I have been going here for over 35 years and hope to continue for another 50.
come for dinner, stay late on saturday night for karaoke – Come to cloverleaf for the best nachos and pizze in the area. We have been going now for about 10 years and love it. Come by yourself or with a big group and you won't be sorry. On Saturday nights there is karaoke and it is great. We are working to get it back on Fridays too. The more the merrier!!! The antipasto salads are great too.
The prices are good to and the service is the best. Some of the nicest waitress you would ever want to have wait on you.
No real dress code, so come on out and have a good time and eat some good food. THIS IS A FAMILY ESTABLISHMENT AND ALL ARE WELCOME.
Get a Carryout – The pizza here is great, but you're better off taking it home to enjoy. When we initially entered, we stood there while 1 server, 1 hostess and 2 bussers looked at us and continued their personal conversations. After we ordered and got our food, the server offered a takeout box (I was on my 1st magnificent slice), this while putting the check down on the table. UH HMMM-------DESERT? maybe ......PLEASE????? Guess she should have had a clue, since my daughter was standing up by the forgotten dessert tray drooling. I got my daughter a sundae,and since it never occurred to the server to ask ME if I wanted dessert, I got mine to go. I have felt so rushed. This was early on a weeknight, so there was no line. I love the food here, and very rarely have the time to go out, so it truly was disappointing.
Going Home – Living just at the opposite end of Wilson, I grew up running the streets of East Detroit (was a name change really necessary?), and eating pizza (on special occasions) from The Cloverleaf. It's been 30 years since I moved away and, each time I visit the area, I indulge in the smells, tastes and surroundings of my childhood. Thanks for enduring through the years, and giving me just one more reason to come home!
The best pizza in the world! – My sister's boss took us to Cloverleaf more than 40 years ago. It was an epiphany in eating then and remains a sacred experience today. Normally when I come back to Detroit for a visit, it is the only item on my agenda above visiting family. What makes it so special is that it breaks my personal pattern of preference. Normally I'm not a big tomato sauce guy, but the first bite into the Leaf's chewy-cheesy sauce is, well, mystical. A slice belongs on the list of reasons to keep living...
nothing beats the original – Not only is the Cloverleaf Bar and Resturaunt know for their long standing of serving the best pizza in town but also as a community friendly place to meet. Many benefits have been held here and now they are also known for orchestrating the Gratiot Cruise. Cruise on in and share what is the best place in town....also has a patio for summer outdoor dining and watching the cars on gratiot and an indoor area just for kids! Grate place for a date or the whole family.................seems like this review still says it all
Cloverleaf Pizza is the best. Period – First went to the Cloverleaf when it was a small bar with the entrance was on Gratiot Ave. Probably in 1979 or 1980 and have been a regular ever since. I'm a bit of a Pizza freak and usually have two a week. But--Cloverleaf is by far the best available in the Detroit area. It's deep dish with great crust and taste. Buddies is a close second but only from their Conant location. I often go there for lunch and sit at the bar and talk to Granny (Sharon) the bartender. She's as much a fixture as the renouned Pizza they serve. Try it--
This lusty and crusty pizza is one of the most memorable pies around Eastpointe. – In Short
This Eastpointe restaurant could be overlooked if you're cruising down Gratiot at full speed. But anyone who loves antipasto, garlic bread and pepperoni knows the Cloverleaf. It's the kind of place you take a first date. There are intimate booths, dark wood and a warm atmosphere. Waitresses here are the kind of people who nag you to eat every scrap of pizza crust or leftover cucumber. So arrive with an appetite.
safeman1 – I grew up in Eastpointe (East Detroit) and when I made a rare return to the area from Arizona, the first place I ate was the Leaf. Absolutely great, and I wish you'd franchise out in Phoenix. Never go away!
Family place to be – It is a family style/type of restaurant. In warmer weather they have "under the canopy" seating. On Sundays they have a an after church services brunch buffet. Prices are reasonable, the portions are more then adequate.
