Heineman to hear opinions on tax exemptions
Governor Heineman says he wants to hear more than just what Nebraskans are against during a legislative hearing this afternoon on his proposal to end some sales tax exemptions in order to scrap the state income tax. Heineman will testify at the Revenue Committee hearing this afternoon. He says the current tax code is too complicated and hampers job growth. Heineman proposes eliminating 2-point-4 Billion dollars in sales tax exemptions, enough to offset the loss of eliminating the state individual and corporate income tax.

The created vortex effect collects dust and debris longer, without losing suction caused by prematurely clogged filters on any vacuum. 10-gallon translucent bucket is conveniently easy to empty. Holds twice the capacity of competitors' products and is easy to see when it's full.
When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, the Dust Right® Separator captures sawdust, wood chips, and other debris before it enters your vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. The five-caster base makes it exceptionally stable and easy to maneuver around the shop. Plus, hoses connect inside the in/out ports, preventing unintentional disconnections. Includes a 36" flexform hose that connects the Dust Right® Separator to any vacuum with a standard 2-1/4" ID inlet port.
- The Dust Right® Separator creates a cyclonic air flow that causes most wood dust particles and other materials that are heavier than air to separate, preventing them from being passed to the vacuum.
- Not intended for fine airborne dust such as drywall dust.
- Maximum performance can be expected when using the Dust Right® Separator in woodworking or general shop cleaning applications.
- Shop vac not included

Steel Cutting Grade For High Speed Turning Applications
Mitsubishi Materials offers the UE6105 steel cutting grade. This grade represents the latest two-in-one, nano-texture coating technology designed for increased wear resistance at high surface feet per minute.
Grooving System Optimizes Rigidity, Accuracy
Mitsubishi Carbide's GY grooving system is designed to optimize rigidity and accuracy. Flexibility is configured to maintain overall strength comparable to a mono-block-type holder. The Tri-Lock system secures a modular blade from three directions.
Cutting To The Model
This mold shop's cutting tool strategies help it eliminate hand spotting altogether by machining complex molds directly to the CAD model.
One Insert For More Operations
Conventional wisdom about standard milling operations has always been that compared to square shoulder cutters, lead angle cutters are easier on the spindle, can be run at higher table feed rates, and cut freer. Finishes are typically better and, with the addition of a wiper flat insert, finishes could be further improved. Due to the chip thinning attributes of this type of cutter, actual table feeds can be more rapid, albeit at the sacrifice of some depth of cut compared to a zero lead cutter.

Reduce PDF file size : free Acrobat replacement for Leopard
Currently Being ModeratedMar 4, 2013 12:48 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
The day before yesterday just got a promo code of enolsoft PDF-Compress from forum macrumors, so far it can work well for my PDF files compressing. If not, would try @Jerome's ways, would keep these filters too.
Currently Being ModeratedMar 10, 2013 12:27 PM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Hi Jerome.. No, it doesn't work I'm afraid, I get x4 bigger size!
Currently Being ModeratedMar 10, 2013 12:56 PM (in response to Jerome Colas)
I have to say that there is something important missing here. These filters compress very well some documents (as do the Quartz filters prepacked with Preview) and they compress other documents very badly. In fact, they expand these others hugely. In my experience, I have compression success about half the time with them. Your success may vary! I'd really like to have a more rule-based tool. As in, if you have this kind of a document/OS with these characteristics, these filters will work great. If on the other hand you have one with these characteristics, it won't. If we don't understand this rule, then it's sort of black magic that may or may not work. I like tools that I can count on.
One would like to believe that there is *something* about a pdf file that makes it appropriate or inappropriate for these filters. I do find it rather striking that when a compression filter doesn't work, it grossly expands a file. You'd think that if it didn't work, it just wouldn't do anything at all.
Currently Being ModeratedMar 10, 2013 1:04 PM (in response to yiannis.)
Hi Yiannis.
Do you confirm that you get a 4x bigger file (from non-compressed scanned PDFs, e.g. scans from OS X) after:
- exporting using to PDF using the "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" filter,
- then opening the resulting PDF file (not the original scanned PDF) and export it using the compressed PDF using the "JPEG compression - STANDARD" filter?
Currently Being ModeratedMar 10, 2013 2:30 PM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Yeap. In fact, it's x5.
-Initial file: 54 MB
-Exporting using 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION: 223 MB
-Exporting the resulting file using JPEG compression - STANDARD: 274 MB
Currently Being ModeratedMar 10, 2013 4:08 PM (in response to yiannis.)
i reported an issue where these trashed all the color data on some of my professionally prepared pdf's. i don't know the technical details involved in what one would have to not downsample with these but despite the heroic effort on the OP's part (a big thank you) it is very weird that i cannot create pdf's on the mac without gargantuan size or custom scripting.
i cluttered up a whole 1 TB drive creating pdf's when i first ported to mac.
anyway, for those on a deadline to get something out across the internet - downloading the most recent version of acrobat as a demo version and simply saving as a reduced size pdf should do the trick for you...
Currently Being ModeratedApr 13, 2013 10:08 PM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Hi Jerome!
I just want to Thank You for taking the time to thoroughly explaining how to reduce our scanned PDF File sizes and for providing us a link to the Quartz Filters.
I downloaded your Filter Folder and have a question I was hoping you could help me with. In your initial post you say:
Choose Save As in the File Menu (pretty easy I guess), then choose PDF as format, and one of the "Reduce to XXX dpi ..." Quartz filters, and click Save.
I have an issue halfway through that instruction. In "Preview" when I click "Save As" and then choose PDF as the format, the "Quartz Filter" comes up with eight options in the drop down menu, one of those options is "Reduce File Size". However, I do not have the option to "Reduce to XXX dpi...". The issue is that when I select "Reduce File Size" I believe it is reducing it to such a small dpi such that my PDF file is blurry/too small of a file. Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or if you can help me at all?
I truly appreciate all your time and effort. Thank you!
Currently Being ModeratedApr 15, 2013 9:04 AM (in response to Toronto.Girl)
Hi Karen.
FIrst, thanks for your nice words
"Reduce File Size" is the standard OS X filter.
You have probably not put the filters in the right location.
Here is the appropriate location, if your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your Startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Hope this helps and have a great day,
Currently Being ModeratedApr 15, 2013 10:37 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Dear Jérôme,
You are amazing! Thank you sooooo much for your prompt and very detailed response. I followed your advice and your filters work perfectly now! Again I truly appreciate all of your help and you have been so helpful throughout this whole thread for many others.
Have a wonderful start to your week!
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 1:11 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
I don't know how you do it but I always have problems with the quartz filters. I also find it quite a hassle to do the settings every time. Now my son introduced me to http://smallpdf.com - It gave me a 92% compression and I was happy. Maybe it's nothing for you more advanced folks but it worked nicely for me.
Let me know if you get the same compression rates...
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 2:01 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Hi Jerome, I get a server is not available message trying to download the filters. Do I do something wrong?
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 2:08 AM (in response to MathisB)
Hi Mathis.
smallpdf.com looks very simple (very clean interface !) and can be a great solution for some. Thanks!
2 remarks regarding your post though:
- What do you mean by "I also find it quite a hassle to do the settings every time" ? The purpose of these filters is not to have to manually edit settings every time you want to compress a PDF?
- smallpdf.com looks great. You should not be ashamed. And it would be much nicer and honest if you said in your various posts (this is your sicth post about smallpdf.com on Apple discussion) that you are the creator of smallpdf.com, don't you think :-) ??
This is especially true since you ask people to upload their personal files to your site and there is no "who we are" section on smallpdf.com. Moreover, since you appear as the site owner on whois pages or your facebook page, there is really no point in not saying it here.
I tried 2 files on smallpdf.com.
The first (a 1 page scan) was nicely compressed the appears that smallpdf.com compresses the image within the PDF to 200dpi and the result (70% reduction) was a tad bigger than with the "STANDARD" filter in this post (74% reduction)
The second (a 8.6MB, 63 pages PPT presentation exported to PDF from PPT2011) did not go through (I got the "Compressing PDF" wheel forever). This is one of the "problematic" PDFs that produced a larger output when exported with the filters discussed here.
I'd be glad to help you debug (via email, and since your email is on the smallpdf.com whois page, I should have no problem sending you one :-)
Take care,
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 2:13 AM (in response to David Rietveld)
Hi David.
This discussion was created a few years ago, by the time of MobileMe.
MobileMe doesn't work anymore and so does the original link.
Here is a Dropbox link, which works: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Feel also free to re-distribute / re-post freely.
Take care,
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 2:18 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Thanks, just need to find out where to place this. I saw some conversation about this from you.. Just checking.. 10.8.3
Your fast!! (Ps I liked your reply on the shrinkpdf or something! Very smart..)
Currently Being ModeratedApr 16, 2013 2:18 AM (in response to Jerome Colas)
Hi Jerome!
Thanks for the long reply!
And you are right, the filters for download are fantastic and solve probably most people's problems. Great how active you are on this! High respects! :-)
Well, when I told on another mac forum about the product to help someone solve a very simple compression, I was banned from the forum and I don't want to risk this here as well. Therefore, it seemed better to me not to be to direct here - sorry for deceiving
You have some great points and I would like to discuss it with you. Please send me an email. I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks again for the kind reply. :-)

Early on, bacci were blowing on the warm breeze at Marlins Stadium.
Italy was beating the Dominican Republic in a baseball game. Which is akin to saying the Dominican Republic was beating Italy in a soccer game.
After Chris Colabello's home run put Italy ahead 4-0, the Italian players kissed the tips of their fingers, and the infectious Italian gesture spread from field to dugout to stands as the lead held through six innings.
Then, la dolce vita ended. The Dominicans scored three runs on four hits against three pitchers in the seventh, enough for a 5-4 victory Tuesday in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
The roof was open to welcome the WBC to Miami on a soft spring afternoon. Outsize noise from a percussive crowd of 14,482 rose from the Marlins' home. Most of the fans were wearing Dominican red, white and blue or the jerseys of Hanley Ramirez, Robinson Cano, Jose Reyes.
But Italy was the story. No one but the Italians expected them to make it here by defeating Canada in a mercy rule rout and upsetting Mexico with a two-run ninth inning against World Series champion and San Francisco closer Sergio Romo.
Italy is still viable. Venezuela and Cuba have already been eliminated.
Italy, which has six Major League players on its 28-man roster, threatened to further disturb the world order against the Dominican Republic, which has seven All-Stars among its 19 major-leaguers. And that's without Albert Pujols and Johnny Cueto.
"The first time we played in the WBC in 2006, it felt like I was in a video game," said Italian pitcher Alessandro Maestri. "We're not intimidated anymore. Yeah, the Dominicans are awesome but once you start playing, it's just baseball."
Italy's players include Maestri of Cesena, who played for five years in the Chicago Cubs' minor-league system from Daytona Beach to Tennessee, with the Brisbane Bandits in Australia, on the Japanese island of Shikoku, and for the Orix Buffaloes of the Japanese Baseball League. And Nicholas Pugliese, who played for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and Cedar Rapids Kernels. Luca Panerati, a product of the Grosseto farm system now a Bologna ace. Stefano Desimoni, pennant winner at Parma. Tiago Da Silva, a native of Sao Paulo who starts for San Marino. Anthony Rizzo, first baseman for the Cubs, of Fort Lauderdale. Alex Liddi, who spent 2012 between Seattle and Triple A Tacoma, the first player born and raised in Italy to play in Major League Baseball.
Contrast Liddi's recent milestone with the dominance of Dominican-born players: A total of 472 have played in the major leagues, more than have been represented by any other foreign country.
The advancement of Italy was testament to the globalization of a game once known as America's Pastime. Italy's globe-trotting lineup was also in the perfect place: Little Havana, which today is more like Little Managua or Little Tegucigalpa. And the defending European champions were right across the causeway from Euro-centric Miami Beach.
Maestri, 27, didn't feel too far from home. Not as far as he did in Kagawa, playing for the Olive Guyners (which translates as "strong giants"), where he and a Dominican teammate were the only non-Japanese players, living in the team dorm on $2,000 a month and exploring the island on bikes. He was promoted to Osaka on the mainland last season.
Maestri was an unconventional kid in Italy, choosing baseball over soccer.
"I'm a big fan of Inter Milan but I do hate the fact that soccer is all they talk about," he said.
One of his youth league friends was Colabello, whose father, Lou, played for Italy at the 1984 Olympics in Dodger Stadium. At 18 Maestri attended the Italian Baseball Academy in Tirrenia and in 2006 became the first pitcher groomed in Italy to sign a pro contract.
Mike Piazza, of Sicilian heritage, said there is a pool of talent waiting to be developed. The Azzurri roster has only seven Italian-born players on it.
"I'm pushing for a nice Dominican-style academy in the south part of the country," said Piazza, a coach for Italy since the 2009 WBC. "The world is shrinking. Thousands of kids over there are watching baseball on the internet. Major League Baseball has invested money in China. Italy is a natural next step. Continental Europe has 600 million people, and that's a legitimate market."
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Yogi Berra? Phil Rizzuto? Roy Campanella? The game might not have the same quantity of Italian-American stars today, and that's not only a reflection of changing U.S. demographics but of baseball's shifting talent base.
"Believe me, there's good baseball everywhere," said Maestri, who has pitched on four continents — including a stint in Peoria — and never once wished he had stayed in Italy and played soccer instead.

Had brunch there on Easter Sunday.
The menu was interesting, and everything we ordered was outstanding. Service was awesome too. Highly recommend."
Dined on 4/20/2014
Food is great. Service is good.
The noise level is ridiculous though. It's not the patrons though. It's definitely the music. It was way too loud. In fact, it was so loud, as soon as we finished eating, we did not want to stay another minute longer."
Dined on 4/13/2014
Fun Latin atmosphere, delicious
food, great service, good drinks with knowledgeable bartender, friendly hostess with flexibility as our party was late and the size changed - just a wonderful overall experience. I will definitely return. Prices were not necessarily cheap, but quality and taste of food was worth it."
Dined on 4/11/2014
Delicious food, and excellent
ambiance. The music was a bit loud but they happily turned it down. Struggled a bit with service but I think they were short-staffed that night."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Friendly service - much too noisy;
music too loud, though we requested it to be lowered."

Dinner here for my girlfriend's
birthday made me look very good.. The food was amazing, cocktails interesting and great...and service couldn't have been better. It was refreshing aside from the attention how appreciative and nice everyone was from the bartender to the hostess, wait staff and busboys - thanking us for being there, telling us how much they hoped we enjoyed our meal, etc...felt genuine."

Had a birthday dinner here on
3/15/14 and everyone had a great time. There were 13 of us who had the chef's tasting and another 6 who ordered from the regular menu. The food was spot on - even the foodies in the group were impressed. Our server Rodrigo was attentive to every detail and did so with a smile! Cesar and Dylan are the best bartenders ever! And Loyda and Jessica did an amazing job at helping me pull the event details together. Thank you all for treating my friends so well and for helping us start my birthday celebration with a fantastic meal in such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Looking forward to returning soon!"

A friend and I went to Rayuela for
mojitos and tapas before a show at Rockwood Music Hall. I hadn't been to Rayuela for a long time and was a bit concerned based on the negative reviews I read but perhaps those apply more to brunch? Service was quick and very friendly, we were welcomed by the hostess and then by the bartender, quickly had good strong drinks and were installed in a comfy banquette. The interior is gorgeous, soft lighting, cool bar, tree in the middle. We tried the seabass and mixed seafood ceviches, and "apertivos" tapas like plates of shrimp and chicken. When my husband showed up later by surprise the waiter managed to bring out his order at the same time as ours. It's a bit pricey but a great pre-show spot!"
Dined on 3/11/2014
I went this past Friday to Rayuela
for the last day of Restaurant Week, the ambiance was very modern and inviting. The food was even better, I normally hate ribeye but the one i had here wasn't fatty at all and tasted more like a fillet. I coconut shrimp ceviche was very good and coconutty and the dessert was tasty. Overall, I'd definitely comeback."
Dined on 3/7/2014
My wife and I met here for lunch (
restaurant week) which is not normally something we can do because of work schedules. Overall, the food was moderate but the service was super slow. It took almost an hour to get our apps and another 30 minutes for main dishes. We had to ask them to bring deserts out with main meal and check otherwise we wouldv'e been late back to office. On a side note there was a group of maybe ten people and us, that's all. Atmosphere was nice and clean."
Dined on 3/5/2014
I have eaten at Rayuela at least 5
or 6 times. The last two visits I found the wait staff not as proficient as in the past. Our group had to ask for bread,ground pepper,salt as well as milk for coffee at end of meal. The young man bussing the table was definitely out of the loop! On a previous visit our waiter was very indifferent and had an "attitude." However, when one in our party told the waiter her margarita was too strong he took it back and the bartender made her a new drink. As usual, the food was very good,especially the appetizers. I would have liked another fish selection other than salmon for an entree. I will go back bit hope the staff improves."
Dined on 3/4/2014
we were looking to see chef Alex
How ever we gat there ego find out he was no longer working for the restaurant for a while, all tho his name still on the menu, that we find not acceptable, as a chef i do not appreciated that do that to me and i'm sure neither is he.food was not as good as we though was going to be our expectations as we know Chef Alex Uriela is was a bit down, service was a bit slow and the only great thing was the hosts she was amazin"
Dined on 3/2/2014
Rayuela is a beautiful find in the
east village and certainly worth a trip for their original adaptations on traditional Latin food. However don't go expecting great service. We went on a Sunday night and lets just say we weren't the only ones hung over from the night before . The wait staff was friendly but flippants and frequently forgot or made mistakes on our order. The worst part was that they just didn't seem to care. Regardless we weren't in a rush and were happy to wait for a new plate of guacamole or a late drink but be warned this place is not for those who get Frustrated easily,"
Dined on 3/2/2014
I was looking for a good Latin
fusion restaurant and was so excited when I chose and dined at Rayuela! The music, the food, the vibes, and the service was incredible. I especially loved the brunch. I will definitely come back again and plan on inviting all my friends!"
Dined on 3/2/2014
Food was great! Service was very
good. We had drinks at the bar,before dinner. The bartender was very attentive and friendly."
Dined on 2/26/2014
I went to Rayuela for restaurant
week, I can be anti-restaurant week when options are limited and not standing out to me as must tries (not the case at Rayuela!). We started by ordering a bottle of wine, they didn't have the one we wanted so our server gave us another option, which was fine. We started with the guac to share which was tasty and the other appetizers were all great, butternut squash soup, gambas al agillo, and the ceviche, delicious! For entrees, we had salmon and steak, both were very good, we cleared our plates. Our dessert was 'buddin' which was fine, nothing to write home about, but we were all full already, we'll be back!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
Service needs to be a little
better. Other than that, everything else about this place was spectacular! Instantly made another reservation for a group within the same week."
Dined on 2/25/2014
Made a 5:30pm reservation here
because we were going to a painting class down the block. Got there a few minutes before 5:30pm and there was no one in sight. Even after 5:30pm came and we were seated, they were still preparing the restaurant to open. Because of this food took a while to come and we were late for our 7pm class. The place was empty for a while until one other couple showed up. They seemed to have a few larger parties starting at 7pm though. Food overall was tasty - ate off the restaurant week menu. Service was decent even though they were still opening. I would give them another try.......but after 6pm!"
Dined on 2/24/2014
As delicious as our meals were,
nothing compares to the amazing staff who made our meal extra special. Our waiter, Victor, made sure our glasses were never empty (we took part in the $15 for 2 hrs. sangria special). Loyda (General Manager) came over and could not have been nicer or more generous (we were celebrating an engagement). The best part of all is we were never rushed. Rayuela is truly a neighborhood gem. Take advantage of visiting them (especially during Restaurant Week). You'll keep going back again & again. I know we will."
Dined on 2/23/2014
My boyfriend and I dined here
during lunch on a weekday for Restaurant week. The restaurant was empty but we loved it! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful and we got his full attention. Loved the bread at the beginning, and the butternut soup was delicious. We ordered the fish and the steak off the menu and we were happy with both. The restaurant has such a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely come back on an evening soon for drinks and some more of that bread!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Great lunch menu for restaurant
week, delicious cocktails, and a warm ambience and friendly staff. We'll be back soon"
Dined on 2/21/2014
I've visited this restaurant on 3
occassions. Each visit I hope that the kinks in service have been worked out, but no such luck. I keep going back because the food is very good but the service is always a let down. The wait staff takes a long time to bring water to the table, the entres arrive before you are done with the appetizers and they've not been able to provide coat check because the coat check is too full. On one occassions, I made a reservation, spent 25 minutes looking for parking and when I arrived I was informed that they were overbooked. If the service were as good as the food, this would be a favorite."

Our server was awesome. Loved the
bartender, Tyler too. Group of 6 @ 11:30AM"
Dined on 2/23/2014
The waiter was training a new
waiter. We asked the waiter about an ingredient listed on the menu what it was and he didn't even know. He said he would be right back and find out. That is horrible, the staff must be pre-shifted prior to their shift to review the menu and all the ingredients. It was delayed service. They definitely need to hire more people, the waiter we had; had the entire first floor and he couldn't handle. There was a lady that was the manager, she definitely should have been helping out more with the tables. Its important to be hands on especially when the restaurant was packed."
Dined on 2/20/2014
The menu was updated from the last
time I went, unfortunately it was not for the better. Favorite dishes were removed and the. Es ones just did not compare. The menu was smaller too. The food was good but not up to the expectations on Rayuela, I was disappointed to get a chartted pork, the burnt taste just overtook all other flavores."

Re: Rayuela's Valentine's Day
dinner. The food was overall very good, but the restaurant's service was incredibly disorganized and slow for the pre fixe Vday special. It took ~15 minutes just to check in, there was a huge bottleneck of guests waiting for a table at the front of the restaurant. It took a very long time for each of our courses to come. Our waiter was not very attentive and we waited at least 45 minutes in between our appetizers and entree. We had a ~7 pm reservation but with the waiting for a table and the slow service, didn't finish our dinner til about 10:15. They also advertised the meal as 4 course, but it was really 3 course with a tiny amuse before the appetizer. Would NOT recommend for a pre fixe meal."
Dined on 2/14/2014
All I can say is the food was
wonderful, but the service was sub par. Albeit it was Valentines day and became quite busy as the night progressed. Still, the service seemed to stay at the same dismissible level no matter the amount of patrons. From the host, the server to the coat check, it all seemed under prepared and disheveled. Thankfully the food was excellent and the one factor that kept the night afloat."
Dined on 2/14/2014
had a wonderful meal - excellent
ceviche,halibut and pina colada dessert - all highly recommended. very friendly and attentive service and staff. the interior design is quite outstanding. would recommend the place to all friends and definitely plan on going back."
Dined on 2/4/2014
I met a friend for the bottomless
brunch on Saturday. I was over an hour late and ended up sitting at the bar, although there were tables open. The bartenders were great...friendly, engaging and attentive. I tried all three flavors of Sangria. I liked the Guava best but they were all delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich off the brunch menu and it came quickly and tasted great. I would definitely go back."

Came here for a 30th birthday
party for group of 5. We had a reservation at 8:30, and arrived 10 minutes late, but still were not seated until 9:30. Our table was upstairs and perfect for the occasion as we had curtains separating us from the other diners. Food was excellent - everything we ordered was outstanding. The main drawback was the slow service and one rude waitstaff. Our waiter was friendly, but another server helping was rude. Our drinks were slow to arrive, and we didn't leave until after midnight, spending at least 15 minutes waiting for our check at the end. I would still recommend the location because the food and ambience were so notable, but be prepared for a lengthy dinner."

My wife and I at here because we
had an event not far away later in the evening. It is not often that we get excited, surprised and impressed with a restaurant. This is one the best finds in the past 5 years. Wonderfully creative, tasty and well-presented food. The cocktails were fun and original. Although it was a bit early and the restaurant wasn't very full, the wait-staff were great! The décor and the music complement the food. We will definitely be back!"
Dined on 1/4/2014
my only complaint was how
absolutely cold it was on the lower level of the dining hall. I was wearing my jacket at the table which wasn't comfortable. I think i would have enjoyed my food (which was great) and my sangria if it wasn't freezing. The upper level seemed warm and toasty, so not sure if there was some type of problem that say with the heat on the first floor."

The decoration is exquisite, the
food is outstanding, the service is great. What more can you expect?"
Dined on 12/24/2013
limited menu; choices and food
used to be much better; unbearably loud awful music; we were very disappointed and while we have eaten here more than 10 times in the past, few years and considered this one of our favorite restaurants, we will not return"
Dined on 1/4/2014
Came here for a surprise for my
partner and couldn't have been any better! She was impressed by the decor and the lighting which gave the restaurant a very expensive but cosy feel and didn't feel protentious etc. We chose the 5 part taster menu which was really good, we even got fillet steak, which was cooked perfectly, as one of the courses. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend you go here! Lovely staff, excellent food and lovely restaurant... very romantic too if you're looking for that."

great food. make sure you try the
steak. the snapper was great too."
Dined on 12/28/2013
Exciting take on infusing latin
flavors with brunch, paired with unlimited sangria made for a truly pleasant brunch experience. When you consider what you pay for other brunches, this was not c only a good deal it was one of the tastiest brunches I can recall"

Just in case some people don't know yet, racism is a hostile attitude or behaviour to members of other races, based on a belief in the innate superiority of one's own race. I'm just asking everyone a question. Well, I think my statement neither indicates that Caucasian is greater than Asian nor Asian is greater than Caucasian. Full stop!!!
Question again:
Why do white men like to date Asian chicks?
If you missed the first
Today I get really sexy answers from them.
Biri sent me another message. I almost fall off my chair when I read it. Biri, you're fantastic!!!!
This is from my sister
My childhood friend
OK, Invisible says a lot too. But I have to censor some stuff to protect third party's identity. I'll quote Invisible too. He made a lot of good points here.
Damien was kinda confused when I asked him the question because he's a mixed breed - Caucasian and Asian. LOL! Mixed breed rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenny is really sweetie. She says if someone's hitting on me, he probably likes me for who I am. Awwwww..... Unfortunately, that's not the story. No one is hitting on me :( I think Jenny's answer is really hot. She gave us the differences between Asian chicks and white chicks. That could possibly be the main factor.
I'm still quite lazy to write the entire post. But it's really interesting to read what other people thinks. Almost all of my blog post are generated from my own opinion. It's pretty one sided. This is the time when I sit back and try to accept people's idea. At the end of the day, it will make the article more neutral.
Dear Diary,
- I hang out with Jeremy today and we went to church. Normally I go to church alone and that's all. Jeremy is from my parish back in Malaysia. Out of a sudden I miss Lifeline (the youth fellowship in my church). He was talking about his college days and how he was the president of the Catholic Society. I was like... my gosh... I was the president of Catholic Society for my college too. I know what you guys are thinking... You can go ahead and laugh. Some of you probably think I'm lying. But it's seriously true. I was!!!
- If anyone of you have nothing to do and simply wants to label people racist, I'm seriously not the person you should be calling racist. You can check out Sasha Lowe. I found her on Twitter and I followed her. OK, bitch...that doesn't make me a follower. I just want to see her updates on my timeline so I know how asshole she is. Everyone's been urging her followers to unfollow her, but I think that's not a cool idea. What I think is, everyone should follow her and get angry at her and start to launch your missiles towards her. She writes racist tweets like asians are monkey. Then she posted up photos on her Twitpic of Asian people got burnt and she put a tag line that says "Asian or monkey?" and "Best kind of monkey faced Asian". I got so furious when I read it. Those photos are photos of dead civilians in war. Not only she doesn't show any respect to Asians, but she doesn't show any respect to humankind. I'm going to write a hatepost for her before Twitter kicks her off from their service. She deserves a hate post!
- Another thing that pisses me off is the statement made by Matt "The Lord" Zane from Society 1 in one of their documentary. You know how I like hardcore rock bands and they are one of them. Well, used to be, not anymore. I would never ever listen to Society 1 after I know what Matt said. He says, "Women are tools for enjoyment and aesthetic pleasure". And then they have this clip of naked woman on doggy position and all of the band members are throwing some stuff at that woman's ass. Sick! Sick! Sick! I'll stick to Korn. At least the most extreme you can get from Korn is their constant anger towards authorities and some emo-suicidal stuff.
- I must say Twitter is one of my powerful source of information. I got a lot of people asking me to join their force to protest Internet Explorer 6. I was like WTF? Why would I do so. TOC (I almost typed out his real name, oooppsss) had to explain the whole thing to me that "...The fact that web pages have to be coded to work with IE6 affects everyone that uses the internet. If not for IE6, developers could code much more complex, exciting pages, especially with the new HTML5, which IE6 being 8 years old doesn't support...So in other words, b/c some asses don't want to upgrade their shit-ass co. computers, everyone's suffering." If you're still using IE6, please upgrade your web browser or else internet would extinct!
P/S: Shut the front door!!!! SashaLowe got kicked out by Twitter. Thank God! She didn't make it to her 20th updates and BANG! Twitter kicks her out.
P/P/S: I found out that Matt "The Lord" Zane is a porn film director. That explains a lot!
