Assalam Alaykum. I was a bad child, since I went to first grade. After I entered the eight grade, I suddenly started to watch a Japanese cartoon, which taught me what peace, justice, friendship means. I am embarrassed to tell this, but there is one character who is praised as the best in his whole generation. I want to become like him, smart, observant, sharp, able to perceive things quickly, strong, convincing, trustworthy. Am I on the right path? If it is right to do that, I will swear to be truthful, pray 5 times a day, accomplish what I have to, etc. The character is also not arrogant. He taught that a true powerful person must NOT become arrogant, because when people are complimented, they become completely arrogant, and withdrawn, and most importantly, they act tough.
Assalamualikum Rahmatullah dear brother,
When you see something, you must see the positive things helping you in your life. Thats what you just did. Learning from all kind of things.
Don't be exactly that CHARACTER, but learn some positive things from him. For exemple, when you said "a true powerful person", you can replace it as a leader, a president or a chief, etc. in realy life. So, if you want to become a true leader, don't become arrogant. This is how you must aplly positive things.
Inshallah dear, I hope it helped.

For those of you idiots saying, "stay away from the national team"... um, Lin is American. Not Chinese. Plus, if you guys spent a bit of time actually reading and understanding the words in front of you, it's to play for a Beijing club team, NOT the national team. And if you want to get picky, he's of Taiwanese descent.... though I don't imagine most of you morons living on this site even know what that means... as if a guy with Taiwanese heritage would play for **** CHINA!

More than 10 years ago, Larry Oberlitner, a local veterans employment representative, discovered that an annual job fair held at Fort Knox through the U.S. Army Career and Alumni Program would be discontinued.
In response, he turned to the Elizabethtown Chamber of Commerce. Edith Dupin, who served as president of the local chamber for nearly 20 years, agreed to launch a similar job fair in Hardin County, Oberlitner said.
"Without her, this would have never even started," he said.

Winning design, winning features, winning looks... it's the perfect Trifecta! And talk about EASY. The extang TRIFECTA comes completely assembled and installs with NO tools. Heck, it might take you longer to get it out of the box than to get it on your truck. The secret for fast install is the built-in clamp system. Front clamps securely by simply hand-tightening the toggle bolt until the notch fits snuggly under your truck's rail.
With the front clamps secure, just unfold the Tonneau and secure the rear spring-action clamps by pulling down on the clamps and fastening them under the lip of the truck bed. That same spring-action technology makes releasing the Cover just as easy. All clamps conveniently stow away within the rail when not in use, and are made of fiberglass-filled nylon composite that will not break. But there's a whole lot more to behold...
...see how the Trifecta's engineered to be superior:

Halloween night is here and San Antonio's Hemisfair Park is opening up their grounds to everyone with their first-annual "Hemis-Fear" celebration.
Hemis-Fear kicked off at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday and filled up fairly quickly.
Many people came dressed for the event, ready to show off their costumes.
Trick-or-treating, of course, was the highlight of the evening, as kids made their way through the candy stations, which were set up at five historic homes throughout the park -- all of which boasted a different Halloween theme.
There was also a bouncy house, music and a spooky maze.
"I thought it would be a safe way to go trickor treating," said Kei Donavan, the mother of a 5-year-old participant. "We don't live in the best neighborhood. So this is a nice alternative."
Andre Andujar, CEO of Hemisfair Park Redevelopment, said the first-annual Hemis-Fear gives families a chance not only to do something fun for Halloween, but to also check out the changes at the park.
"This is a good way to come and see what Hemisfair looks like today," said Andujar. "And experience a day of Hemis-Fear and join company and volunteers who have put together a fantastic evening."

Fresh-baked bread foundation for great sandwiches at Crow's Nest Café1:26 pm | June 21, 2013
A wonderful new lunch spot has been winning lots of fans, myself included, since opening a few months ago in the Crow's Nest, a downtown Elizabethton antiques shop.
Shop and café are owned and operated by Brian Irick, who launched the eatery with a limited menu and has been gradually growing and expanding the offerings.
The most important thing to know is that much of the fare at Crow's Nest Café is made fresh on the premises. The establishment smokes its own barbecue and bakes its own bread. Desserts, soups and other items are also freshly prepared on site.
The menu offers a selection of sandwiches, as well as rotating daily plate lunch specials. Some of the dishes offered in recent weeks as daily specials have included Chicken and Dumplings, Steak and Gravy, Turkey and Dressing and Lasagna with a Garden Salad.
The café and its dining area are located toward the back of the antiques shop. Attractive antique cabinets, hutches and baker's cabinets have been arranged to separate the dining area from the rest of the business. There's also a display case laden with the tempting desserts available for concluding any visit.
The shelves of the cabinets are lined with canister sets, cookbooks and other vintage kitchen items giving the café a definite home-like feel. The walls bear chef-themed knickknacks and other decorative items, including signs and decals with clever sayings such as "Never Trust a Skinny Chef." Seating is available at several tables.
I've visited the Crow's Nest Café several times with different friends, so I've had the opportunity to try many of the menu items. So far, I've loved every sandwich I've tasted. The secret is the fantastic bread. All the sandwiches are served on this fresh-tasting bread, which is buttered and grilled to provide the foundation for every sandwich.
The sandwiches on the menu include Pork Barbecue, Chicken Salad, Grilled Cheese, Hot Ham and Cheese, Philly Cheese Steak, Smoked Pork and Fried Bologna.
So far, my favorite sandwiches are the Chicken Salad and the Smoked Pork.
Other menu items include a Pork Barbecue Platter, which is served with baked potato, roll and a choice of baked beans or slaw. This platter, which I haven't tried, is the costliest item on the menu at $11.99. The majority of menu items are $7.99 and under.
There's also a Nathan's All-Beef Hot Dog, as well as a Pork Barbecue Baked Potato. This deluxe spud is served with the café's pulled pork barbecue, as well as butter, sour cream and cheddar cheese.
I've tried several of the sandwiches, including the Philly Cheese Steak, Chicken Salad and both pork sandwiches.
The only difference in the Pork Barbecue and Smoked Pork is that the latter has not been doused with sauce. I actually prefer the sauceless sandwich because the smoky flavor of the pork comes through better.
The Chicken Salad is also very tasty. The smooth, light and refreshing salad features tender chunks of chicken, as well as sliced dark grapes, which is something different from most chicken salads I've encountered.
I also enjoyed a cup of Vegetable Soup with my Chicken Salad Sandwich. The tomato-based soup featured a medley of vegetables, including green beans, corn, onions and potatoes. The soup was seasoned well and paired nicely with the flavorful sandwich.
I've visited Crow's Nest Café with friends and co-workers, ordering something different on each visit and being pleased on every occasion.
My most recent visit took place on a Saturday afternoon with a friend. A server took our drink orders while presenting us with menus.
Consulting the menu board, I noticed that the daily special was Lasagna with a salad and garlic bread. I chose to try this special, but my friend ordered the Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich with a side order of Potato Salad.
Food is made to order, so there is an occasional wait for meals to arrive. Our meal on this occasion arrived fairly quickly.
The lasagna held together well and tasted great. Plenty of ground beef and a mild seasoning of herbs made this classic comfort food a real hit. I also liked the salad, which consisted of mixed greens, shredded cheese, cucumber slices, broccoli and cherry tomatoes.
My friend enjoyed the Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich, which was a tasty take on a classic sandwich. The version at Crow's Nest features slices of ham topped with lettuce, tomato and a choice of mayonnaise or mustard.
He also liked the tangy potato salad, which featured pickles, chopped eggs, poppy seeds, mustard and a little mayonnaise to give it a good balance.
You will definitely want to save some room for dessert. If anything rivals the hand-made sandwiches at Crow's Nest Café, it's the sweets for finishing a meal. On my most recent visit, the wide selection of desserts on display in the glass dessert case included Apple Cake, Coconut Cream Pie, Butterfinger Cake, Peanut Butter Pie, Lemon Pie, Blueberry Cheesecake, Coconut Cake, Chocolate Pie, Snowball Cake, German Chocolate Upside Down Cake and Best Ever Cake.
I decided to finish with a piece of Peanut Butter Pie while my friend, intrigued by the name, ordered the Best Ever Cake.
The dense, rich Peanut Butter Pie was drizzled with chocolate syrup. This dense, indulgently rich pie combined two of my favorites — chocolate and peanut butter — for a winning dessert.
My friend also enjoyed the Best Ever Cake, which featured a fluffy cream cheese frosting over a yellow cake with chunks of pineapple baked right into the batter.
Crow's Nest is a welcome new addition to dining in Elizabethton. The annual Covered Bridge Celebration is going on this week in Elizabethton, so if you're in town, why not pay a visit to Crow's Nest Café? If you do, let them know they were recommended.
AT A GLANCE: Crow's Nest Café, 520 E. Elk Ave., Elizabethton. Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Menu items $11.99 and under. Credit cards accepted. Carryout available. Catering available.

Transfer Credit Policy
Missouri State University welcomes transfer students from other accredited colleges and universities and endorses the "Joint Statement on Transfer and Award of Academic Credit" approved by the American Council on Education, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and the American Association of Community Colleges. Many of the principles of that statement are inherent to this policy. Please refer to the "General Baccalaureate Degree Policies and Requirements" section of this catalog for the transfer policy regarding the catalog of graduation.
Determination of transferability
Missouri State University awards credit in transfer for undergraduate courses completed at colleges and universities accredited by the following regional accrediting agencies:
- Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
- Higher Learning Commission (North Central Association of Colleges and Schools)
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges
- Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges
In addition, transfer credit is:
- awarded for regular academic courses taken at institutions accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). Mission, theology, doctrine, creation science, homiletics, and religious education courses are not accepted. A limited number of Bible courses (i.e., Old Testament, New Testament, Life of Christ, and Life of Paul) that are substantially similar to courses offered at Missouri State may be accepted. Education courses transfer only as general electives. To be accepted, coursework must have been completed at an institution after it received accreditation or during the time it was granted candidacy status for accreditation from one of the above accrediting associations.
- awarded for courses completed at colleges and universities outside of the United States that are accredited or approved by the Ministry of Education (or other appropriate governmental agency) of the country in which they are located. Credit and placement decisions are based on recommendations of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, National Association of Foreign Student Advisors, and selected other professional organizations and agencies that evaluate foreign educational institutions.
- generally not awarded for courses completed at institutions not accredited or approved as indicated above. Exceptions must be approved on a course-by-course basis by the head of the department through which each similar course is offered and by the dean of the department's college. In the case of courses that may be applicable to general education requirements at Missouri State but that do not have specific equivalents, exceptions must be approved by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Programs.
- not awarded for remedial courses.
- generally not awarded toward an undergraduate degree at Missouri State for courses taken for graduate credit at other institutions unless approved by the appropriate academic department head as described in the "Appeal of transferability or course equivalencies" section below.
- not awarded for courses in vocational-technical programs or programs not offered at Missouri State (e.g., fire science, dental hygiene, occupational therapy). An exception to this policy exists for students who have an Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science degree and who wish to pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree at Missouri State. Refer to the "Degrees/Programs and Requirements" section of this catalog for requirements for the BAS degree.
- awarded and posted to transcripts only for students who enroll at Missouri State subsequent to completing coursework at other institutions.
Graduate transfer credit
See the Graduate Transfer Credit policy.
Determination of course equivalencies
Initial determinations of transfer credit equivalencies are made by the Missouri State Office of Admissions through a comparison of course descriptions and/or course titles. If substantial similarity exists between a course taken at another institution and a Missouri State course, transfer credit will be awarded for the Missouri State course. If substantial similarity does not exist, but the course is in a subject matter taught at Missouri State under a specific course prefix, elective credit will be awarded under that prefix (e.g., MTH electives for a mathematics course).
If the content of a course includes subject matter offered in more than one Missouri State department or if the course description does not provide sufficient information to assign the credit to a specific prefix, general elective credit will be awarded. In some such cases, the course may be designated as applicable to a portion of the Missouri State general education requirement. Elective credits awarded for upper-division courses taken at four-year colleges and universities will be designated as upper-division for transfer purposes (i.e., will apply to the upper-division credit hour requirement for graduation at Missouri State).
Transfer equivalencies are based on current policies and generally reflect course numbers from the Missouri State catalog at the time the evaluation is conducted. Missouri State courses and course numbers are subject to change; thus, transfer equivalencies are subject to change as well. Missouri State maintains a transfer course equivalency website at www.missouristate.edu/transfer. Course equivalencies for most Missouri and many out-of-state institutions are included. Current Missouri State students who plan to take courses at other institutions are encouraged to consult with their advisors and to confirm transferability of such courses prior to enrolling.
Appeal of transferability or course equivalencies
The ultimate authority for transfer of credit rests with the head of the department through which similar courses are offered at Missouri State (except credit for courses taken at non-accredited institutions, which must also be approved by the dean of the department's college). Students who wish to appeal the evaluation or transferability of a course may do so through the appropriate department head. When making an appeal, students must be prepared to provide supporting documentation (e.g., a course syllabus, course description from the other institution's catalog, examples of work). Department heads who wish to approve a revision to a student's transfer credit evaluation must submit a "Change/Preapproval of Transfer Credit Evaluation" form to the Admissions Office.
Students who have taken courses that do not have specific course equivalencies at Missouri State (i.e., do not fall under the authority of a department head) but that are substantially similar to courses in the general education program may appeal to have those courses applied to the general education program. Such appeals should be submitted to the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education, who also serves as the Missouri State Articulation Officer. Students should be prepared to provide supporting documentation as indicated above.
Credit hour equivalencies
Credit is converted to semester hour equivalents. In converting quarter hours to semester hours, a conversion factor of two-thirds is used.
If a course at another institution is offered for fewer credit hours than an equivalent course at Missouri State (e.g., if a three credit hour course at another institution is substantially similar in content to a four credit hour course at Missouri State), the student will be given transfer credit for the equivalent course at Missouri State but only for the number of credit hours earned at the other institution. In such cases, the student may need to take an additional course to fulfill credit hour requirements.
Grade equivalencies
Transfer grade equivalents will be determined and recorded with the student's transfer credit. Credit will be awarded for courses in which a passing grade was earned. Grades of "F" are included in the calculation of the transfer grade point average.
Transfer grades and grade point averages are assigned on the basis of the Missouri State University grading policy. Through the 2009 summer semester, MSU used a straight A, B, C, D, F grading scale. Effective with the fall 2009 semester, a plus/minus scale will be used. For this reason, plus and minus grades are not transferred for courses taken prior to fall 2009 (so, for example, a B+ is converted to a B in calculating transfer grade point average); however, for courses taken at other institutions during or after the fall 2009 semester, +'s and -'s will be used in determining transfer grade point average. For courses taken at institutions that use combined grades (e.g., "AB"), the lower grade will be used. Courses taken at institutions that use a grading system not comparable to the Missouri State grading system will be evaluated with the transfer grade equivalents of Pass or Not Pass. "Withdraw failing" grades are calculated in a student's transfer grade point average as "F" grades.
Courses for which transfer credit is awarded that are taken at colleges and universities not accredited by a regional accrediting agency or the ABHE will be treated as "Pass/Not Pass" courses for grading purposes.
A student's grade point average at Missouri State is based only on courses completed at this institution. A transfer grade point average is carried as part of the student's total record. The Missouri State and transfer grade point average are combined into an overall grade point average to determine academic standing, eligibility for admission to certain programs, graduation and honors, as described in this catalog.
Repeating courses
As indicated in the repeat policy section of the catalog, the repeat policy is changing for the fall 2009 semester. For courses taken prior to fall 2009, students were only allowed to repeat courses in which they earned a grade of D or F. The second grade replaced the first grade in the calculation of grade point average. Beginning with courses taken during or after the fall 2009 semester, students may repeat any course with no limit on the number of repetitions. Only the final grade will be used in the calculation of the student's grade point average. These same policies will be applied to transfer credit based on when courses were taken.
Transfer of credit to professional programs
A maximum of thirty hours of transfer credit will be awarded to students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program who have completed RN training in a school of nursing at the time they are admitted to the program by the Department of Nursing. Similar policies exist for the transfer of credit for professional training in medical technology, radiography, and respiratory therapy for students in these programs, as described in this catalog.
Transfer of general education requirements
Missouri State adheres to the guidelines set forth in Credit Transfer: Guidelines for Student Transfer and Articulation Among Missouri Colleges and Universities, approved by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) in June 2000. Under these guidelines, students who transfer from Missouri public colleges and universities and Missouri private institutions that adhere to these guidelines will be considered as having met the Missouri State lower division general education requirements if they complete:
- an Associate of Arts (AA) degree; or,
- the Missouri 42-hour general education core. In accordance with statewide articulation agreement, the student is exempt from the Missouri State University 42-hour core.
- the designated general education program at the other institution, provided that the institution certifies the student's completion of that program.
Missouri State will also honor an AA degree from any regionally accredited college or university, including private institutions in Missouri and public and private institutions in other states. Students with an AA degree from such an institution will be exempt from the Missouri State lower division general education requirements. This is a policy of Missouri State and may not be recognized by other institutions to which a student may subsequently transfer. Students are not exempt from Missouri Constitution Study Requirement (Senate Bill No. 4) described in the fourth paragraph below.
Students with a two-year degree other than an AA (for example, an Associate of Science or an Associate of Applied Science) are not exempt from Missouri State general education requirements on the basis of their degrees unless approved for an exception by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education. Such students will receive a course-by-course evaluation of their transfer credit that will indicate applicability of their courses to Missouri State general education requirements.
Students who have a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by one of the regional accrediting agencies referenced above, and who wish to pursue an additional undergraduate degree will be exempt from all general education requirements at Missouri State but not the Constitution Study Requirement (Senate Bill No. 4). See following paragraph.
Students who have completed or been exempted from the general education requirements by any of the provisions listed above are not exempt from specific course requirements for their majors, even if those courses may be used to satisfy general education requirements at Missouri State. Such students are also not exempt from the Missouri Senate Bill No. 4, 1947 (Mo. Rev. St. Sec 170.011) requirement, which provides that students must be "given regular courses of instruction in the Constitution of the United States and the State of Missouri, and in American history including the study of American institutions." Students who have been awarded an Associate of Arts or bachelor's degree from a Missouri public college or university will be considered to have met this requirement. Other students who have had a course in American history or American government will meet this requirement with completion of PLS 103 at Missouri State. Students who have not had a course in either American history or American government will meet this requirement by completion of PLS 101.
Missouri 42-hour general education block
Students who are certified by a participating Missouri institution as having completed an approved 42-hour general education block will be considered as having fulfilled the Missouri State 42-hour general education block. To fulfill Missouri State general education requirements, such students will need to complete either HST 121 or HST 122 at Missouri State (unless they took an equivalent course at the other institution). Refer to the "General Education Program and Requirements" section of this catalog for further information.
Transfer of credit from two-year Institutions
Students are generally awarded only lower division credit for courses completed at two-year institutions (community and junior colleges). Departments seldom award upper division credit and typically do so only after the student has completed a validation examination or course at Missouri State.
Professional education courses at Missouri community colleges must be approved by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to be acceptable in transfer as specific equivalencies for Missouri State professional education courses required for the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Such courses that are not approved by DESE may transfer as elective credit. Professional education courses are not accepted in transfer from non-Missouri two-year institutions.
If a direct equivalency is not given by an academic department, but the College of Education decides that substantial similarity exists between a course taken at the community college with the DESE approved education program and a Missouri State University course with respect to MoSTEP competencies, a PEU course code will be assigned to the community college course and used to substitute for the Missouri State University course in a given undergraduate education degree program.
Transfer credit limit
No limit exists on the number of credits that may be transferred from other institutions; however, students must meet the minimum residence and upper division requirements in effect at Missouri State to receive a degree, as described in this catalog.
Transfer of dual credit courses
Courses taken for dual credit (courses for which students receive both high school and college credit) are evaluated in the same manner as traditional courses offered by the institution through which they are taken. No limit exists on the number of transfer credit hours that will be awarded for dual credit courses.
Credit for experiential learning
Credit is not awarded for experiential learning unless validated through the credit by examination provisions referenced above.
Credit for military education and experience
Missouri State University grants credit for armed service education and training according to the recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE) as stated in "A Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Services." No limit exists on credit awarded in this category. Credit is also awarded for military experience based on ACE guidelines. Credit for military experience is limited to a total of 30 credit hours and a maximum of 6 credit hours in any one discipline. For both education and experience, credit will be awarded in those disciplines that are substantially similar to courses and programs offered by MSU.
Credit will also be given for most Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) education programs. Veterans should file copies of their DANTES transcripts with the Missouri State Office of Admissions.
Students having additional courses on the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS), or the Sailor/Marine/ACE Registry Transcript (SMART) transcript should request an official copy be sent directly to the Missouri State Office of Admissions for evaluation. Students who do not have any of the transcripts listed above should file copies of their service records (Form DD-214) with Missouri State Veteran Services.
Credit for correspondence courses
Credit is granted for correspondence courses taken through accredited colleges and universities according to the same guidelines described above. Students who wish to apply correspondence credit for educational methods courses toward a Bachelor of Science in Education degree must have written permission from the Dean of the College of Education.
Authority for policy and right of appeal
The Academic Council approved this policy in April 2001. The Office of Admissions has the primary responsibility for administration of the policy. In accordance with CBHE guidelines, students have the right to appeal decisions regarding transfer of credit. Students with questions regarding initial determinations of transferability or course equivalencies are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions for clarification or guidance. Initial appeals of transferability or course equivalency decisions may be submitted as outlined under the "Appeal of transferability or course equivalencies" section of this policy. Students who believe they have been treated unfairly through this level of appeal are encouraged to contact the Missouri State University Articulation Officer (Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education). The final level of appeal within the institution is the Provost. Students from Missouri public institutions have the right of further appeal as outlined in Credit Transfer: Guidelines for Student Transfer and Articulation Among Missouri Colleges and Universities. A copy of this policy is available from the Office of Admissions, the Office of the Provost, or the Articulation Officer. The policy is subject to revision.

Neighborhoods: Greystone Center
Sunday dimsum in Austin without a long wait. Recommended dishes: Egg tarts, shrimp toast, salt & pepper shrimp, curry cuttlefish
Great Food, Horrible Service – I've eaten at Chinatown many times. Most times I eat there, everything is fine. Lunch today was horrible. I'm not sure if they were cutting corners on staffing, but our waitress was pretty much non-existent. From having to remind her 3 times that she had forgotten my drink, to waiting 20 minutes for the food to arrive, service was horrible. The table for the three of us was stacked with unpicked up plates. The Sahara had more water than our water glasses. Had to wait another 15 minutes after she acknowledged we were done for the check. The only saving grace was that the food was good as usual.
what happened? – lunch was a disaster....so over-salted it was painful... inedible. two dirty plates returned before the meal even started. we are not picky folks but probably will never return after this first experience. was looking forward to a meal like described in most reviews.
Great food!! Great service... – This is another place I would have never gone to if it wasn't for the great reviews on this site. We had excellent service right away. The crab puffs were the best my husband and I have ever had, and we've been to many asian restaurants in many different cities. The two dishes we had were from the Country Style section of the menu, and they were both outstanding. We ordered a couple of $7 glasses of Pinot Grigio that tasted like they should have been $20 a glass. I had my 20 month old daughter with me and I asked for some fried rice for her; the waiter, John, had it on our table within two minutes. Our water glasses were never even half empty, and he was very busy with several tables. We glanced at the sushi menu and it seemed a little steep (minimum $10 a roll), so we didn't order any this time around. But we'll definitely go to Chinatown many more times. The food was awesome!!!
MY FAVORITE! – My favorite place to eat in Austin.
Great for Wine, Chinese and Sushi Lovers – We frequently eat at Chinatown, always at the bar, and always have an awesome time! I recommend asking for Jimmy because he is knows the menu and the wine list very well; he is always ready with great ideas for each person's tastes (or allergies). I order Sushi and believe they have some of the freshest ingredients and best rolls in town. The Chinese menu is also wonderful and every time we get a different dish it is by far better than other Chinese restaurants in terms of taste, quality of ingredients and portion size. I will definitely have to try out the dim sum because I have heard wonderful reviews, but so far we have always left very happy with the food and service!
AMAZING FOOD! – The dim sum is spectacular! Every dish is spectacular and aesthetically pleasing. The wine list is one of the most expansive of any restaurant, and is the only Asian/Chinese restaurant that has made the second tier of the Wine Spectator. For those of you who complained about the food being too salty or greasy, you should probably avoid ordering the dishes that are prepared in that way. There are an abundant amount of dishes served there that are not too salty or greasy, and if you don't like dishes like that then don't order dishes prepared that way! Food is amazing do not change a thing Chinatown!!
Great Dim Sum, good Chinese – Ok, let start off with the ok side - the Chinese meals are just ok. I mean heavily breaded, everything red and fried - like the 1970's Chinse food of yesteryear...not bad just heavy and fried.
Now the Dim Sum - spectacular. I was thrilled. I mean I grew up in the Bay Area CA and have Chinese buddies to take me out to Dim Sum so I can say I've had the best before (in the States) and Chinatown is excellent. We must have tried 10 dishes and didn't find anything we did not lov e- from the tarro root, the dumplings, Char-Siu Bau (steamed BBQ buns) - all delicious as were the dessert dished (loved the coconut treats).
We will be going back. Remember this is drive by eating - so gab the carts you want and don't be afraid to be pushy. In SJ I go to places where 70 year old Chinese women try to push it all on you and start placing on your table whether you want it or not and if you say no they might not come back - part of the game. Here it is all english speaking kids that were very polite. Can't believe someone got stuck int he corner...speak up!
Don't sit baby in the corner – Wow. I went here for dim sum with friends 2-3 weeks ago. It was the best, best dim sum I had ever had. Period. I was amazed. Selections that no place else had. Presentation that made the food even more delicious.
What happened to this place? Please fix it and get it back to where it was.
Fast forward to today. I took my wife today. I had been carrying on and on about how wonderful the dim sum was. Boy did I eat those words. First off, we were sat in a corner, behind other tables, on a dead end. That doomed us I guess. The carts couldn't get back there. So, they didn't even try. The water waiter could so he came by 3-4 times. I filled up on water watching the carts pass us by. About 5-10 minutes being there, the second coming of the water waiter, our regular waiter walks up with dirty dishes from someone who actually got to eat dim sum and asked if we needed anything to drink. We said not at this time, but we would like to eat something. Thinking this would help him realize we were not getting cart service. Nope.
About five minutes later, the third coming of the water waiter and we finally get some cart service. Nothing special, but we got it thinking we might not get another cart anytime soon. Everything was the same you can get anywhere else. Nothing special, but it could have been because we were water logged by now.
Another waiter came by with a tray so we grabbed something off that. No more carts came though. So, we decide to leave. Our waiter drops the check and decides to clear all our plates immediately. He pours sauce on my wife's new purse, and walks off. No apologies, he didn't even bring more napkins.
Chinatown, what happened?
2-3 weeks ago this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Austin. Today, this was one of the worst. Please make sure that all tables are cart accessible. Please make sure your staff is aware of there customers and at least decent and courteous. Please get back to where you were.
Take out is horrible! – I called in for a take out order. I explained several times to the women on the phone that I was allergic to scallops and to make sure the dish she was suggesting to me did not have scallops. My husband picked up the food and brought it home. Much to my surprise and frustration, there were scallops and crab meat in my dinner. I was hungry and upset, so I called the restaurant and tried to explain my situation. I guess they were to busy to discuss this and told me they would just give me a credit. After one week I still have not recieved credit for a dinner that I could not eat.
Becareful what you call in for, I don't believe they listen to your needs.
This is not Chinese food. – We tried this place because I heard the dim sum was good so I figured the rest of the food would be tasty too. We ended up here during dinner service and were not impressed. I am more used to authentic Chinese food and this was not it. It was lacking in any flavor and it was pricey. The other diners around us were seniors sucking down bottles of wine so they didn't seem to interested in the actual food. Perhaps this is a good place to get tipsy, not to eat...I doubt I'll go back, even to try the dim sum.

The Celtics are not better without Rondo
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 21, 2013 at 12:25 AM
Time to come down from that cloud. It's time to realize that when it rains, it doesn't rain skittles. It's not time understand one thing. If you lose the best player on your team. It means your not a better team. If the Heat lost Lebron James for the season. That means the Heat are not better. Pretty common stuff.
To appear wise, one must talk. To be wise, one must listen. Some of us didn't listen, and some of us did. Some of us picked a side. In the world people usually take a side. For some fans it was redemption. The Celtics went 8-1 without Rondo, and the team looked good. Perhaps they played their best basketball. For the fans who trust in Rondo. It may have hurt, but it was an after though with the team winning, and perhaps some fans shifted gears.
The Celtics world was throbbing in a lot of peoples eyes, blurry and hazy to some, everything just flying by. Watching the Celtics fall apart in the last two games told me a story of how good this team really is. They're the same team they were when Rondo was on the court. Bradley's defense has been a bit over hyped? I hate to go that far, but look. He was burned by Ty Lawson, and burned by Nash, and Steve Blake. His offense was good in the first quarter the other night with 12 points, but since that quarter, all we get are a bunch of blown layups. I won't condemn Bradley for the past two games, but the reality of it all? Bradley won't take Rondo's spot.
In the past two games the Celtics don't play the same defense, and the offense has become isolation basketball with Paul Pierce. I can't hate on Pierce for his first half in Los Angles Wednesday night. But he's playing hero ball again. I think it was a double edge sword for the Celtics going to the All-Star break. They lost all momentum, but they needed to regroup after another season ending injury to Barbosa. The Celtics needed players.
Darkness is relief, ignorance is the cure, but no amount of sleep will save us for what awaits us the rest of the way. When reality is this impure. The reality is simple, and I may have been one of few bloggers who tried to keep my sanity. The Celtics are not better without Rondo. Whose truth is reality? Seeing reality quite differently? With many refusing what's real. It's hard to make a point valid. To be honest with all of you. I care more about the wins, but with Rondo I feel that many discredit his worth, and they never give him credit. For Rondo to be this good is a blessing that many of us forget. This guy was a 21st pick, but he's easily the best player from that draft. Rudy Gay was drafter, and Brandon Roy who's career will never be the same. Lamarcus Aldridge the second pick is good, but not a game changer like Rondo. The first pick that season was Bargnani. My point is that Rondo wasn't supposed to be here, but he worked hard to get here.
I love the rain. It seems to clean my soul out. It's peaceful, and it gives me clean thoughts. We are, what we are. We make, what we make. We give, what we give. The Celtics are a 28-26 team, and without Rondo that 28-26 looks much worse than a 20-23 record with Rondo. I wish the Celtics were better without Rondo. Because I love this franchise obviously. The clouds move on, the earth turns grey the happiness I felt, has quickly gone away. I think all of us knew that this was a facade.
Of course Rondo is no angel. He's made many mistakes. But I feel like he doesn't have room for error. I think for fans it's easy to pick on Rondo. I don't see Paul Pierce getting much blame. He's a beloved figure for a decade and a half. KG is KG, and that guy brings it, and he bleeds green. I don't think Rondo has built a connection with the fans yet. The fun, and games without Rondo has ended, and for me the high has got me down like a crash off of caffeine. I honestly miss Rondo, and after tonight's game, and Tuesday nights game. I think Danny should keep this team half way together.
I think Danny should keep the duo of KG, and Pierce. I also think Danny needs to keep Jeff Green. Otherwise, I think Danny should gamble to get a Josh Smith despite how I feel about him not being a max guy. After tonight's game, I'm done with Bass. He's a good bench player. But now, and in the future. The Celtics can't waste time on him. They needed to bring him back, but with Sully in waiting next season. Sully was playing better, and rebounding better. Plus Jeff Green plays a similar role better. I know Danny won't get crap for Bass this season.
Maybe I'm overreacting, and maybe tomorrow I may regret some of this post. But the Celtics are in a odd spot at the deadline. I think we've found out that this team has fatal flaws, and without Rondo saving the day. The weaknesses are brighter then the sun.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The most improbable, unbelievable throw by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith didn't even hit its intended target.
It came last Saturday before Game 1 of the National League division series between the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds, when Smith had the honor of throwing out the first pitch.
Now, as a leader of the hottest team in football and owner of a league-best 108.7 passer rating, he's embraced by a fan base that once roundly rejected him.
So it was really no big deal that he threw that ceremonial pitch into the dirt in front of home plate, even though he joked: "I'm disgusted with myself."
No matter, no one questions his accuracy anymore, not with him competing 68.6% of his passes with eight touchdowns and only one interception. Smith, whose team will play host to the New York Giants on Sunday in a rematch of last season's NFC championship game, has thoroughly reinvented himself.
And he has done it in a unique way. Unlike quarterbacks such as Jim Plunkett, Steve Young and Rich Gannon, who had career breakthroughs after changing teams, Smith has been able to survive the worst of times with the 49ers — times when coaches have flat given up on him — to emerge on the other side.
Coach Jim Harbaugh has played an essential role in the transformation, casting his lot with Smith from the start, something previous coaches Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary didn't do.
"Can't tell you how much respect I have for him," Harbaugh said. "That he has played well, handles himself, does all the things. [I] kind of look back and say, 'Man, I wish I would have done as good a job as he has done.' On and off the field, in everything that he does and his approach to the game, I think it's a real example."
That confidence paid off last season when Smith — who had cycled through a constant carousel of different offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches — clicked with Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman. They put their faith in Smith and he delivered, with 17 touchdowns and just five interceptions, helping carry the club to within one win of the Super Bowl.
There's no magic to the emergence of Smith. He has a better head coach — a former NFL quarterback who had his own ups and downs; better personnel around him on both sides of the ball; is healthier after undergoing several shoulder surgeries, and is simply older and more experienced. It's easy to forget that Smith is only 28, younger even than Brandon Weeden, Cleveland's rookie quarterback.
In the darkest times, could Smith have envisioned being in the position the 49ers are now in, as an elite team with him at the helm?
"I was certainly playing for it. I wasn't playing to continue to lose," he said, standing at his locker this week. "You continue to put the work in and to fight and play because you're trying to win games. No question, thought it could get better, didn't know when or how."
Smith, in his seventh season, is one of just two No. 1 picks in the modern era to spend more than five seasons with his original team despite never making a Pro Bowl. The other is defensive end Kenneth Sims, the top pick in 1982, who played eight seasons with New England.
The 49ers have stood by Smith, even though they came close to tossing him aside several times.
Nolan pressed him into action with a bad supporting cast almost immediately, then got frustrated with him for not developing quickly enough. The coach publicly questioned his toughness, wondering why he wouldn't play through a separated shoulder that would require several surgeries.
Singletary never trusted Smith's ability to throw, and instead ran a simple, run-oriented offense. He once referred to Smith as "meek," a comment that wasn't malicious but was less than a ringing endorsement of the quarterback's leadership skills.
Said Jed York, 49ers chief executive, of Smith: "We had to look at it and say, 'We have somebody here that knows the team, knows the offense, knows the system. We just haven't done a good enough job of putting him in a stable situation where he can be successful.' A lot of that are failures I would put on the organization, not Alex."
Harbaugh was hired in January 2011, a few months before the lockout. He soon announced that Smith was his quarterback, even though there was widespread speculation that the 49ers might sign Matt Hasselbeck. Then came the lockout, and that helped Smith in at least two significant ways:
First, with no free-agency period (until one ultimately came in late July), the 49ers couldn't sign another veteran quarterback, even if they wanted to, and no other teams could make a play for Smith.
More important, Smith was among the few 49ers who had Harbaugh's playbook — he got a copy during the brief lifting of the lockout — so he was able to conduct "Camp Alex" at San Jose State, run through the plays with his teammates, and show his ability to lead. He paid for players to come to the camp, and even loaned them his car when necessary. The team bonded.
That confidence in Smith grew throughout last season, as the team went from 6-10 in 2010 to 13-3. After the offense ground to a halt in the conference title game against the Giants — when 49ers receivers totaled one catch for four yards — San Francisco invested in its receiving corps, including adding free agents Mario Manningham and Randy Moss.
The 49ers looked at Peyton Manning this off-season, although Harbaugh insists they only were evaluating him and were determined to stick with Smith. Regardless, because of the way Smith played last season, the bar would have been set much higher for Manning in San Francisco than it was replacing Tim Tebow in Denver.
San Francisco almost blew it with Smith. Scot McCloughan, general manager of the 49ers when they drafted Smith, was warned in 2005 by friend and quarterback guru Mike Holmgren to take it slow with Smith, not to rush him onto the field. But the 49ers did.
"I told Scot, 'There will be a learning curve for him. You know it. I know it. But the owner has to know it. The media has to know it. Everybody has to know it,'" Holmgren recalled in an interview with The Times in 2011.
Instead, Smith was the starter by Week 5, and in his debut had four interceptions, was sacked five times and posted an 8.5 passer rating. The 49ers would finish last in the league in passing yards for the first time in club history.
"He was destined to fail," Holmgren said.
For Smith, that seems like three careers ago. He's not Young or Joe Montana, but he's a seasoned leader of a 4-1 team that rolled up a franchise-record 621 yards of offense last Sunday and has beaten its last two opponents — the Jets and Bills — by a combined 79-3.
He's a quarterback who can open the NLDS with a fastball in the dirt and still get a standing ovation.
"He's stuck with it and persevered when a lot of other guys would have quit," York said.
"You can argue about who's the best quarterback in the National Football League. Well, I think Alex Smith is the toughest, and that fits our football team better than anything else."
Alex Smith, the Bay Area's most improbable hero
Once thought a first-pick bust for the 49ers, the quarterback now rates a standing ovation when tossing out the first pitch at a S.F. Giants playoff game.

Study in Progress
Review of EPA's draft paper State of the Science on Nonmonotonic Dose ResponseBoard on Environmental Science and Toxicology
MeetingsReview of EPA's draft paper State of the Science on Nonmonotonic Dose Response - 07/23/13
Statement of Task
An ad hoc committee will conduct a scientific review of EPA's draft paper, State of the Science on Nonmonotonic Dose Response. Specifically the committee will review and provide a brief report on the following:
- EPA's analysis of the potential existence of nonmonotonic dose-response curves (NMDRCs) for chemicals. Has EPA fairly and soundly evaluated the weight of evidence and has it reached conclusions supported by the available studies?
- EPA's evaluation of the studies and expert opinion (including the completeness of the database) used to assess whether current chemical testing strategies capture adverse effects potentially represented by NMDRCs. To what extent do the available studies capture adverse effects?
- EPA's scientific rationale used to evaluate whether the state of the science influences EPA?s weight of evidence conclusions and the implications for risk assessment.
For the issues addressed in the bullets above, the committee will consider:
- Is EPA's State of the Science document scientifically sound and of high quality?
- Has EPA selected studies of suitable breadth, relevance, and quality?
- Has EPA fairly and soundly evaluated and integrated the weight of evidence from the diversity of studies (epidemiological, mode-of-action, animal testing)?
- Are the assumptions valid and reasonable?
- Are the conclusions valid and supported on the basis of EPA?s assessment and the literature?
- Are there potential limitations or data gaps that would substantially impact the conclusions?

A weblog thrown into the New/Links section is one that's tricky to review. The author here, however, does a very nice job of implementing his own ideas and his own thoughts, rather than stealing those opinions from another source. Putting informative news articles in with a knowledgeable opinion makes this weblog one that's very educational.
The layout to the site is a very simple one. There are tables all over the place, but organized very well, making navigation and reading through its lengthy posts a pleasant experience. Nothing extraordinary about this design, but there's not anything negative either.
The author does a good job of combining excerpts from actual news articles with other related links as well as his own opinion. This makes for thorough reading about several different topics ranging anywhere from politics.
Grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure – everything in that aspect is nearly perfect. The only problem I had with this particular weblog is that I just couldn't get into it. I'm sure it was the fact that I'm not up to snuff in the "GreekNews, GreekViews, GreekOpinions about Greece", as the author puts it. I'm sure, however, that someone with interests in those topics would find this weblog to be quite useful and visit-worthy.
This site was reviewed on 2002-11-26 by Wendy.
They felt this site belonged in the News/Links category.
Wendy felt that Sphaera Ephemeris deserved a rating of 3.5.
Sphaera Ephemeris is an excellent example of a news blog with a specific focus: Greek news. Nikolaos Karanikos writes, pretty exclusively, on Greek politics, and geopolitics as it effects Greece. I don't know much (OK, I don't know nothin') about Greek politics, but if I were interested in it I would read this site daily. Karanikos doesn't just aggregate news, he opines at length. He does not mince words. He has harsh words for the Simitis government, and harsher ones for Turkey. I suppose if you disagreed with him you might find his tone inflammatory ("Turko-fascists," "Simitis the Supine," etc.) But hey, it's a blog, and strong opinions well expressed are valuable.
The site isn't going to win any design awards -- it's functional, cut-and-paste template, and that's about it. Personally I'd like to see the font slightly larger, but then I'm all about the legibility. (Plus I think I need to see an optometrist. But enough about me.) Sphaera Ephemeris has a list of blog-links, (including the NYCBloggers map, yay!), but not much else in the way of extras. (What? No links to recommended Greek news sources?) There's a search function (powered by Google) but it's hidden at the bottom of the page, and doesn't find specific posts, and so is not that useful. He's just launched a Greek language version of the blog, making this the first bilingual blog I've come across, which I think is just grand.
But the major drawback to Sphaera Ephemeris is its lack of community functions like commenting. With strong political opinions such as these, there must be people who agree and disagree. Feedback would make the site a much better source of news. (Think about little green footballs, for example.) I'd really like to see what others think about Karanikos' opinions. It looks like he's attempted to use a Yahoo group as a discussion mechanism, but the only posts in it (as of now) are mirrors of his blog posts. His email address isn't even listed, so if you vehmently disagree with him, there's no way to let him know. Other than post about it on your own blog, I suppose.
In all, I think this a very good blog, that has the potential to be an important voice for those interested in Greece and European politics. If you're in that camp, then definitely check it out. If you're not, then you'll definitely learn something.
