Oh, Boom. What happened? This place used to be da bomb, but it has fizzled under new ownership. The food still looks good, but it's bland and when you call it to the attention of the servers, they shrug their shoulders.
Worth a stop for quick & light happy hour eats. HH drink: ginger lemon martini (don't worry - it's well-balanced & not 1 of those candy cocktails). HH eats: salt & pepper tofu or veggie gyoza.
My first time to go to Boom noodle on Capital hill, Seattle. I was just reading all the reviews & I was totally shocked! I had to make sure they were reviewing the same restaurant! A lot of negative reviews but when I went there with my son yesterday for lunch I was sooo impressed from the decor to the staff! I am currently in a wheelchair & the staff went above & beyond to accommodate me! Plus the staff was very nice! Took our order right away! Everyone was exceptionally nice & polite! But the food was absolutely awesome! I had the "bento box" with pad Thai, Thai salad, rice, & vegetable tempura! Now myself being Japanese I was a little cautious when it comes to making tempura! Of course I want the crispness plus not to be oily & that's exactly what I got! So crunchy! Crispy pinko breadcrumbs! Plus excellent dipping sauce. But I just loved the bowls & little tray that the bento box was formed in! Very unique! I don't know our waiters name but he is Asian with slightly curly hair! I have to say he was thee nicest waiter I have had! Exceptional! Always asking if we needed anything else! Asked if we wanted to taste the icecream for dessert? Anyway! With all the other reviews I hope going bovine what everyone else said I am hoping that people will take this serious & go try Boom Noodle on Capital hill, Seattle!
Totally Unique! – I love this place. I am always looking for unique places to eat, and this one definitely takes the cake. But it's not scary unique, its just unique unique. I had the sizzling toban beef and the okanomiyaki for apps and they are so good, especially the beef. Sizzling hot with garlic chips, onions and mushrooms, yummy! The yaki udon and the wasabi soba are both delicious too! And if you have room for dessert, which I kind of doubt, try the Boom Waffle!
Awesome Apps! – I love all of their food, but I am especially in love with their appetizers (they refer to them as "small plates"). I could eat there every day if I could afford it. My favorites are Sesame Tofu and Sizzling Toban beef, check it out for happy hour when prices are even cheaper!
Good ramen to be found at the Boom – Good noodles, good atmosphere, good service. Not the cheapest but worth the price if you like good ramen. The Tokyo pork ramen was excellent, yummy and filling.
My out of town guests were WOWED by this Capital Hill JAPANESE noodle house – In November 2008 I met my cousin & her husband from Savannah at Boom Noodle for lunch we shared fabulously, delicious, savory dishes. They are still wishing there was a Japanese Noodle House flourishing in their coastal paradise. it was fun we all had a great time. The wait staff were attentive and told us their favorite dishes. The organic tea was beautifully presented. I went back on New Years Eve with two friends to celebrate one of our birthdays. Again the experience was satisfyingly delicious. I especially enjoyed the brown rice cake appetizers.
I don't know Boom or Sushi or anything but my co-eaters do – Went to this place after hearing all sorts of good reviews, with an Asian friend (great cook) and her mother (even better cook). I don't know a lot about Japanese food, so I kinda shrugged and tolerated the fact that my soup was cold, the noodles were bland, the sushi/fish/whatever it was was [shrug] equally bland, and the waiter seemed to have forgotten about 1/2 of our party's orders.
But the wait staff were wearing urban chic outfits and 'do's, so I guess I was supposed to be impressed. They (the wait staff) certainly acted like I was supposed to be impressed!
I came out of my shell, though, when mamma-san and date-san (the excellent cooks) pronounced the food as VERY disapointing!
I mean, when you're a bachelor, living at home, and the people you're with eat about 2 bites of their meals, and you say "well, I could always take it home and eat it some evening -- I like leftovers" and BOTH of them instantly said "NO! THIS FOOD ISN"T EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR LEFTOVERS!"...
I have got to believe it's not to be recommended!
went here last night. great food, good value, family friendly, fun fun fun! very similar to wagamama in the UK if you have ever been there.
It's MY BOOM! – We've been to Boom Noodle MANY times now and LOVE it. The decor is modern and cool (chairs are super comfortable) and the food is great. Try anything Udon....pan fried, cold with Miso dressing, in a curry broth with seafood, ....then there are the small plates - the Boom edamame is addictive (it's like a dip), salmon tatake (sp?) is super unique, curry potato cake and miso broiled rice cakes - DELISH.....and don't miss the green beans (under side dishes - on the back of the menu) The food doesn't always come out formally served or exactly when expected , but has always been really fast for us - if you are relaxed and adventurous you will have a great time.
nice space, decent food, lousy service – I've been to Boom twice and there are definitely good and bad points.
The interior is great, terrific space, marvelously decorated.
The food is variable. I've tasted several of the noodle dishes and the okonomiyaki. The soba noodles in beet shiso broth is excellent - very interesting and fresh taste. The miso ramen had a very nice broth, but the chicken was out of place. It had a lot of black pepper on it and tasted very much like a BK chicken sandwich.... it was tough, dry - very disappointing. The Tokyo ramen was good though not the equal of Samurai. The noodles were not totally consistent. In one of our bowls the noodles were slightly undercooked, the other overcooked. The okonomiyaki (a pancake filled with shredded cabbage and pork, topped with veggies and sauce) was excellent and rich. It was a small portion, but even sharing, it was more than enough. The first time I was there I ordered tea and was highly disappointed to have a nice tea decanter with an infuser come holding a tea bag.... I really had expected a nice loose tea.
Now the service - that's another thing all together. On our second visit we had some of the worst service I've had at a restaurant in a long time.... We were there for a late lunch and my husband ordered a bowl of noodles, I the okonomiyaki. The noodles came, but nothing else.... we waited and I told my husband to go ahead and start... waited more, waited more.... nice to sit there uncomfortably watching someone eat.... finally I asked if the other dish had been forgotten? The reply was that it takes a while... It's pretty much kitchen 101 that you do not serve a party until *everyones* food is ready - you plan it so that all dishes are ready together. It wasn't even very busy so there should have been no excuses. I thought the reply was rude and I was still stuck there for about 5 more min. foodless. The waitress was somewhat clumsy too- dropping the dishes she was clearing. Had I been in a better mood I may not have even noticed.
All Show, No Game – Uhm. I don't know what to say. I've had better street food in Japan and Korea for about a fifth of the price. The Tokyo noodles were slightly better than fancified beef-flavored instant ramen, and comes with a terribly bland and dry slab of pork. The okonomiyaki, or pork and veggie pancake, was inharmoniously sweet and savory, resembling something of thousand island sauce on a Big Mac. A friend ordered the most expensive menu item--seafood curry udon-- we he seemed to like, but to me was nothing more than runny Indian curry with a small tuft of udon noodles, mini shrimp, and mussels. While good, there was nothing deeply satisfying, spectacular, or creative about this place.

Is the Rahmfather of Chicago — Mayor Rahm Emanuel — his own worst enemy?
Only a mayor's worst enemy would brush off a critical issue, like secretly taping reporters' phone calls, which is a felony in this state, and say it's much ado about nothing.
That's not very likable. It depletes the political Likability Bank, which for mayors holds something more precious than treasure. But then, the Rahmfather isn't interested in being liked. He's interested in power.
So the other day he brushed off a recent Tribune story about his administration secretly taping reporters and quoted William Shakespeare.
I'm told by sources that the city inspector general's office has opened an investigation into the matter. It's not the crime of the century, but the Rahmfather's response is a serious public relations mistake.
Why? It's just the kind of thing that becomes infected.
"I, I'm going to just say this: I didn't read that story," the Rahmfather said the other day. "But when I kind of got a briefing on it, it kind of reminds me of Will Shakespeare. Much ado about nothing."
He didn't read it? If the words "Rahm Emanuel" were listed as ingredients in some tasteless breakfast cereal, he'd take a magnifying glass to the tiny print on the back of the box. So if he didn't read it, I'm Kim Kardashian.
And that reference to "Will Shakespeare" was just too precious to be much ado about nothing.
The future isn't nothing. The present is where we live, but the future is the place that great cities like Chicago dream of going.
The future is everything for a talented political operative driving solo for the first time — Emanuel finally out front, the government wheel in his hands, open road ahead.
That's why I'm puzzled by his response to the story of the secret taping. It reveals a flaw in his design, something that should be addressed soon before it ruins the mechanism. Because he's out front now. He's no longer the guy behind the guy.
For years, in the background, he was the political hammer. He'd chase a congressman into the shower, jab that shortened Arby of his into the lawmaker's chest and explain the context of things.
He was the media manipulator, dropping stories, cajoling, purring, playing to win. Former Commerce Secretary Bill Daley, the brother of the last mayor, had this to say to Politico awhile back.
"I'm not reflecting on Rahm, but I'm not angling for something else, you know? Rahm is a lot younger, and he knew he was going to be doing something else in two years or four years or eight years, and I'm in a different stage. I'm not going to become the leaker in chief."
As President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Emanuel approached politics the way a mechanic approaches an engine. He understood what drives it.
Money drives it. Without money, a politician can't run those gorgeous ads honoring himself. Without revenue, an elected official can't hand out goodies to voters while clubbing opponents into line.
Competency is another requirement, or at least the appearance of competency. An elected official who can't project a sense of competency might as well change his name to Todd Stroger, or Mr. Buffoon.
But there's another critically important ingredient:

no requirement for a lowered garage floor. BOCA and
some of the other previous model codes required a
4-inch step from the garage floor surface up to the

protection against carbon monoxide. But the IRC
never adopted this constraint, mostly because of

The decision comes as the council hired a Birmingham firm Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood to start engineering services on a $6.5 million project to improve the parkway.
The largest portion of that cost — about $5 million — will be paid for through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program. Over the last two years, the project has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in roadway improvements in the state.
ATRIP funding requires municipalities to put up some of its own money toward the work. Oxford's portion of the parkway project should cost about $1.5 million, city leaders say.
Keith Strickland, with Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, estimates the project will be completed in May 2015.
While planning for the parkway project, the council had discussed closing one end of Boiling Springs Road as a cost-saving measure, but instead agreed to realign it to intersect with the entrance to Oxford's planned sports complex, located across the parkway. Realigning the road and installing a traffic light at the intersection will increase safety there, city officials have said.
Other work includes widening two bridges over Choccolocco Creek on the parkway and constructing turning lanes into the sports complex. Additionally, plans call for widening and lengthening turning lanes into the southern entrance of the Oxford Exchange at Crystal Waterway Drive, and into the Publix supermarket.
The council also agreed Tuesday to rezone a commercial building at 803 Bama Drive in Oxford from "neighborhood shopping center" to "light manufacturing."
The new owner of the 10,000-square-foot building, Ronnie Smith, plans to relocate his Oxford company, Manufacturing Technology and Services, to the new facility.
The company makes orthopedic equipment, Smith said, and is currently operates in a leased building on Alabama 21 in Oxford. The new facility doubles the company's space, Smith said.
Councilman Mike Henderson said the company currently employees eight, and Smith would like to grow the business after the move, possibly hiring another eight workers.
During public comments portion of Tuesday's meeting, Oxford Police Chief Bill Partridge spoke to the council about concerns he has about drug rehabilitation facilities operating in the city.
"I'm aware of individuals needing to have rehab," Partridge said. "But I believe that if you're going to have a rehab facility, and you're going to be a part of a rehab facility, it should be one that is controlled and has regulations. The ones we have in our city currently today have no regulations."
Many of these facilities are located in residential neighborhoods, Partridge said, and he believes they are contributing to crime in the city.
"They have felons in these houses," Partridge said.
Partridge said 85 percent of the crime in Oxford is related to drug activity, and the drug rehabilitation facilities play a role in that.
A January shooting incident in Oxford involved an escaped resident from one of the drug rehabilitation facilities, Partridge said. The man began breaking into homes, Partridge said, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. An officer spotted the man, who then attempted to stab the officer and was shot and killed, Partridge said.
"We can eliminate a lot of these problems by regulating these places and getting them out of our city," Partridge said.
Mayor Leon Smith expressed his support of Partridge's request. Council President Steven Waits said he and the council are in agreement that something needs to be done about the facilities.
The zoning board has contacted the facilities, said Councilwoman Charlotte Hubbard, to inform the businesses that they're operating outside of the city's zoning laws.
"They are functioning as boarding houses, and they are not zoned for boarding houses," Hubbard said.
Before adjourning, the council voted to go into executive session to discuss the buying and selling of real estate. After the brief, closed-door session the council returned and took no action before closing the meeting.

Burger Jones, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Wed, 06/17/09 10:36 PM
There have been a flurry of new burger joints opening up in the Twin Cities including both independents and chains. Recently Sonic, Smashburger and 5 Guys have opened in the area. Bulldog opened in St. Paul and offered yet another Jucy Lucy to the burger wars. Two, a bit more upscale burger joints, one in St. Paul, American Burger Bar and one in Minneapolis,
Burger Jones
Yesterday I decided on a late lunch and drove in to Burger Jones which happened to be right close to where I used to live in Minneapolis 26 years ago. The area has changed quite a bit. Burger Jones is a new concept restaurant developed by Parasole Restaurant Holdings that opened a month ago.
They are probably best known for
Manny's Steakhouse
and they also have other high quality restaurants in Chino Latino, Salut Bar Americain, Pittsburgh Blue, Figlio, Muffuletta and Good Earth. For a corporate holdings company they seem to push quality. Even though a burger joint, the expectations were pretty high for Burger Jones. I suspect they would like to spin this into a chain but for now there is only the one.
Their logo is a cartoonish rather straight arrow looking guy with a smirk. I'm not sure what they are trying to convey unless it is young urban professional. The menu is primarily burgers and you will figure out quickly why else go there. They are rather expensive at $7 to $10 just for a burger. Bar drinks, I'm sure, is what they desire to push along with the burgers. I sat at the bar.
The restaurant is located at the end of a strip shopping center that also has a Barnes & Noble and a Punch Pizzeria (one of the better local wood-fired pizzerias).
The center is across the road from Lake Calhoun, a city park. This is one of the tonier areas of Minneapolis.
Interior dining looking toward the open kitchen
Looking the opposite way from my bar stool toward the outdoor seating. Don't be fooled by the empty seats at 2:30 PM. There has been a long wait. I think they were keeping this clear for what appeared to be an office group that came in at 3:00 PM.
This is the bar. They featured Maker's Mark and Knob Creek so I didn't think they were all that bad. They also had lots of beer on tap. I ordered a
Surly Bender
a local microbrew that is damn good. The rest of the country is missing out.
I decided to order what I thought was the most unique and perhaps outrageous item on the menu, the
White Trash Burger
with a cross of chicken-fried bacon, a pile of fried cheese curds, and plenty of Velveeta. You want to know why the guy has a smirk? The concoction was topped with a toothpick flowing the Iowa state flag to hold it together. That's a Minnesota rivalry joke.
Here's Charlie the bartender tilting the tray for my photo. Did I tell you they were a very friendly bunch? Yes, they were. Also note I skipped several different varieties of fries for the sake of my heart tackling this concoction.
So how was it? Excellent. Definitely a gourmet burger consisting of a custom grind of chuck, hanger steak and brisket. They asked me without any prompting how I wanted it. A little pink I asked. Velveeta you say? You really have to try it. It was not that bad. OK, here is the mouth watering tongue hanging shot.
A little pricey, maybe new jitters trying to hard, a bit antiseptic for a burger joint, not really my demographic any longer but interesting nonetheless. I think the group that came in at 3:00 PM fit them. They looked like they may have been an advertising agency.

and the sesame seed roll!
and love the silver metal tray and outdoor seating!
I prefer straight ground chuck, but that's just my personal tastes..

Open 7 Days
Neighborhoods: Fresno-High
No Thrill No Service – I can't really say anything in this Chinese restaurant is special. It is designed for people who really don't know what good quality Chinese food tastes like. I came here at the good review I read. I came on a Sunday night with the family while we were on a vacation outing, passing through Fresno. We arrived at around 6:00 pm on Sunday 12/20/09. There were 5 of us and we were seated on a table for 4. Waitress took about 24 minutes before coming over to take our order. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken without peanuts because my son is allergic to it, Seafood Combination Hot Plate, Szechuan tofu, BBQ Pork, and white steam rice. The waitress that took our order appeared to be tired and didn't want to work. On the seafood plate, it was $15 on the menu and included Shrimp, Clam, Squid or Scallop. I didn't care for clams, so I asked the waitress to substitute the squids for the clams.
When the dishes arrived, after about 25 minutes, the BBQ came first. The meat was very chewy. It tasted more like london broil. 15 minutes later, the Kung Pao chicken came out. It showed up with peanuts. I told the waitress that my son is allergic to peanuts and that I ordered without it. She took the dish away and brought it back along with the tofu dish within 1 minute. The cook did not prepare a new plate of Kung Pao chicken. Rather, he or she just removed the peanut and brought back the same plate. When I asked about this, the waitress told me that the cook made 2 plates and I was given the wrong one. Weird, considering that there was small peanut fragments in the dish still. This was very concerning to me. The lack of concern for the safety of its customers, reduced 2 stars from my review of Golden Restaurant. The Kung Pao Chicken and the Tofu were very salty. I can live with this because I ate less of it and more of the steam rice. The tofu, which was supposed to be spicy, but wasn't even close. I have to take 1 star off for not meeting customers' expectations nor restaurant's claim. The shocker came for me, when the bill came out. The prices on the menu and what I was charged were completely different on 2 items. Not only that, the total didn't add up on the prices the restaurant calculated! All the food items that were taken by the waitress was in Chinese. But thankgoodness I could match the prices to the dishes, or at least close enough. When I brought up the errors, the cashier told me to let her check. She came back and told me that I had I substituted the squids for the clams, so she had to charge me $2 more. But if the price was $15 and the bill was $17.95, that's almost $3 more. The cashier asked if the waitress informed me of the additional prices for the substitution. I responded, "NO" and she was arguing with me that she did! Even my wife, who was sitting in the same table, said no, the cashier still argued with us, as though she was there. Arguing with customers, especially when they are wrong, reduced another star from this review.
When I spoke with our waitress, she insisted that she told me that there was a difference in price of $1.25 for the substitution. I said that it was strange that she says $1.25 more, but the cashier said $2 more and I was actually charged $2.95 more. Weird! I didn't want to argue anymore, so I paid my bill, even for the wrong price! The price difference doesn't break my bank, but I'm just disappointed with this restaurant's poor management of customer service, food quality & safety, and dishonesty.
If you don't mind any of this, then dine at Golden Restaurant. Otherwise, I would avoid this place at all cost!
gourmet quality food at generous prices – after being all over california i found a chinese restaurant that i can greatly enjoy. my fresno friends brought me to this restaurant after convincing me to go from years of great experiences. i was reluctant at first because i've been to chinese places that were less than acceptable but i changed my mind after spending a few seconds into the appetizer soup and fried wonton. our group ordered a family-sized selection of dishes (i forgot what it was called, sorry) and each portion was wonderful! the orange chicken and lemon chicken was a burst of citrus flavors that just melt in your mouth. the fried rice was exemplary and it wasn't dry, crunchy and didnt' scratch your throat like other chinese restaurants. the potstickers was prepared with precision that had contrasting textures (one side was crunchy and the other soft) that was a match out of this world. Noodles can be described in the same manner with a combination of crunchy and soft textures. the service was helpful, nice and always kept an eye out for any service that was needed and was pretty quick. the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing with a very calming contrast of colors. the bathroom was very clean to my surprise; like that of many gourmet restaurants! the prices were more than reasonable for the portions we received. overall great experience and highly recommended! i can go further to compliment the soda if it wasn't actually made by pepsi haha.
#1 CHINESE FOOD OUTSIDE OF CHINA!!!!!!!!! – I absolutely love this restaurant and have been for years. The Chinese food here is great and the people there are very nice, especially if you can pull one aside when it's not during busy hours. I have been eating here since I was a child and I still enjoy it the same today. The dishes are plentiful, especially for the very affordable price, and is filled with a good balance of color and flavor. I have been recommending this place to my friends and they too enjoy the food with great delight. I used to live in the northern part of Fresno and it would take my about ten minutes to travel to the Golden Restaurant, but I still make the trip because it's one of a kind and incomparable to others in town. I don't live in Fresno anymore, but I always make time to take a trip to the Golden Restaurant whenever I travel back to see my parents. I highly recommend and I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Mmmmm mmmm delicious!
Good Healthy Chinese cooking – I like golden restaurant because the way the prepare their Chinese food remind me of my mother's family cooking. I had the chance to talk to the owner lady, she told me that they made all their broth from scratch. Now, broth is a big deal in Chinese cooking...in case if you don't know. I recommend their won ton soup. Delicious won ton serve with fresh Chinese vegetables and BBQ pork. mmmmmmmmmm, that's what I am having right now...
The Golden Restaurant in the Tower District isn't a buffet, and it's got great food: Almond Duck, Ginger Beef, Curry Chicken?the usual, but with a bit of flare. – The Scene:
The atmosphere may be similar to that of other Chinese Restaurants in Fresno but the food is not, and semi-casual dress is the minimum here. The decor is full of rich colors (deep green and burgundy with hints of gold for contrast), and seating arrangements consist primarily of booths, with a banquet room off to the side. The staff is helpful and will make suggestions like replacing the usual broccoli with fresh asparagus in season, and the prices are reasonable.
If you order one thing:
Try the Almond Duck.

PHILADELPHIA --- If there's one common belief among Phillies insiders and those outside the organization ---scouts, reporters and fans --- it's that the bullpen personnel needs to be addressed.
I'm not arguing with that, but let's narrow the focus a bit.
Really, it's the eighth-inning role that is screaming for attention.
The Phillies' eighth-inning ERA (4.67) was the third worst in the National League. Only Houston (5.00) and Milwaukee (4.78) had higher ERAs in the eighth innings of games.
It's an issue the Phillies didn't have to worry about the previous four years. From 2008-11, Phillies pitchers posted an ERA of 3.94 or lower in the eighth inning of games. You have to go back to 2007 to find an eighth-inning ERA higher than what they put up this year (4.86).
Manager Charlie Manuel tried it all this season. Chad Qualls was so ineffective that general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. released him. Jose Contreras tore his UCL in June and was lost for the year. Michael Stutes had season-ending shoulder surgery after appearing in only six games.
Justin De Fratus, likely one of the first guys who would have been called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, got hurt late in spring training and spent most of the season on the disabled list.
Antonio Bastardo struggled in the eighth inning. Jake Diekman lacked the experience and poise to get the job done.
"The bullpen is probably something I would have liked to address a little better if I could," Amaro admitted. "Didn't happen."
That left Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee going with whoever was available and pitching well at the time.
Never did they find someone they could count on.
That has to change for 2013. The Phillies opted to drop $50-plus million on closer Jonathan Papelbon last December. When you do that, it only makes sense to have a reliable setup man serving as the bridge to him.
When it was all said and done, Phillies pitchers blew 19 saves, 15 of which came from guys not named Papelbon.
"Obviously you can't cover for all the things that happen as far as injuries and stuff are concerned, but I guess we probably could have done a little bit better job in the bullpen," Amaro said. "We were kind of relying on some guys that had some success last year and after having lost four of those guys during the course of the early part of the year, it was a little tough for us to recover. That was something I think that I regret a little bit."
Although it got lost in the shuffle, the bullpen, as a whole, looked like a different group in the second half of the 2012 season.
After posting a 4.76 ERA and a .258 batting average against before the All-Star break, the relief corps. did a 180 after the break. From July 13 to the end of the season, Phillies relievers lowered their collective ERA to 2.89 and had a BAA of only .200. They struck out 25 more hitters in 20 1/3 fewer innings and had a 13-11 record (they were 9-16 in the first half).
Several factors contributed.
Bastardo started pitching with more consistency and confidence. The lefty allowed only two runs in his final 18 appearances for a 1.29 ERA (2 ER, 14.0 IP, 4 BB, 27 SO and .180 BAA).
Jeremy Horst, who entered 2012 with limited big league experience, was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 28 and pitched so well that it's hard to imagine he won't be on the 2013 Opening Day, 25-man roster. Horst, also a lefty, was 2-0 with a 0.93 ERA in his last 19 1/3 innings pitched (19 games). He struck out 27 and had an opponents batting average of .167 during that stretch.
Josh Lindblom and B.J. Rosenberg had some ups and downs, but late in the season put together enough consecutive dominant outings to make Amaro and Co. think when projecting an Opening Day roster.

Graduate Assistant Cost Share (GACS)
Michigan Tech's Graduate School is able to provide cost share for proposals for tenure track faculty only according to the following guidelines.
General Guidelines
GACS support will only be made available to support graduate students pursuing the highest degree awarded by a particular program. For example, if a graduate program offers a PhD degree in addition to an MS degree, GACS support will only be made available to support students pursuing the PhD degree.
Once Michigan Tech's commitment of graduate student support is disclosed in a proposal budget as cost share, Michigan Tech becomes contractually obligated at that level of support if the project is awarded. PIs and academic unit leaders must understand that the dollars committed by the Graduate School for graduate student support must be used to support graduate students. If a PI is unable to use GACS funding to support graduate students, the contractual obligation for cost share will have to be met using other funds (e.g., departmental or incentive account funds).
PIs who encounter difficulties in using GACS support should contact the Graduate School to renegotiate their cost-share agreement in a timely manner. PIs who fail to use graduate student funds in an appropriate way will not be eligible to receive GACS support in the future.
Guidelines for Central Administration of GACS Support
Whenever standard GACS support is committed at the proposal stage, the Sponsored Programs Office is responsible for approving standard cost-share commitments and entering cost-share commitments into Banner.
GACS support will be held in a cost-share account that will be separate from the account containing the external sponsor's dollars.
Contact Person
The Sponsored Programs Office can answer routine questions about budgets and assist PIs in the preparation of budgets that will include GACS support. The Graduate School finance coordinator (currently Bonnie Gagnon) will be the primary Graduate School contact person for the GACS program.
Commitment Guidelines
When cost share is mandatory
- GACS support will be available.
- The Graduate School will provide up to a maximum of 50 percent of the total required cost-share. For example, if the total cost of a project will be $50k and a 1:1 match is required from Michigan Tech ($25k), the Graduate School will commit up to a maximum of $12.5k in cost share (50 percent of the total required cost share).
- GACS support can only be used for tuition. External funding must be secured from the sponsor to provide the stipend for the student, as well as the remainder of the tuition.
- Cost-share support will be capped at the equivalent of the cost of nine credits per student (for a maximum of two students) per semester for academic year (two semesters) tuition at the time the proposal is submitted. No incremental increases for multiple year budgets will be included.
When cost share is not mandatory (voluntary uncommitted)
- GACS support will be available for assistant professors. The Graduate School will provide partial funding for one graduate student per budget year on proposals submitted by an assistant professor serving as lead PI.
- GACS support can only be used for tuition. External funding must be secured from the sponsor to provide the stipend for the student, as well as the remainder of the tuition.
- Cost-share support will be capped at the equivalent of the cost of nine credits of academic year tuition (two semesters) at the time the proposal is submitted. No incremental increases for multiple year budgets will be included.
- Documentation of the dollar amount of the GACS commitment will not be disclosed in the budget justification section of the proposal.
Support for large proposals
GACS support may be available for large proposals(>$500k/year) that are interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, or contribute significantly to the University's mission. These proposals will be considered on an individual basis by the dean of the Graduate School.

Republicans conceded that the measure was headed for approval and said a few dozen members of the GOP were likely to break ranks and vote for it.
In a reversal, Pelosi and the Democratic leadership decided Monday night not to give Republicans a chance to propose an alternative measure a move that drew protests from Rep. John Boehner of
'At the end of the debate, we will vote on a straightforward proposition: Whether we support the president's plan or oppose it,' Pelosi said in her prepared remarks. 'That vote will signal whether the House has heard the message the American people have sent about this war. The current policies have not worked, will not work and must be changed.'
It was the first debate about the war in either house of Congress since November's midterm elections, when public opposition to the conflict helped power Democrats to control of the House and Senate.
Bush's decision last month to deploy an additional 21,500 troops to help stop sectarian violence has quickly become a flashpoint for critics of the war in Congress.

Each of the House's 435 members and five delegates will be allotted five minutes to speak on the issue. Democratic leaders said Monday they planned to restrict members to a single vote by week's end, barring any amendments or a GOP alternative a tack Republican leaders decried as unfair.
'After promising to make this Congress the most open and honest in history, (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi has effectively shut out both Republicans and Democrats from substantively debating the most important issue of our time,' said Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz.
Pelosi and other Democrats said restricting debate to one measure will force members to go on record on the war without hiding behind political ploys.
'We shouldn't clutter this debate,' said Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. 'We must focus on one thing the men and women that wear the uniform and taking them out of the center of an increasing insurgency and civil war.'
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters Monday he had heard from about 20 Republicans who said they opposed the troop buildup, and from one Democrat reluctant to support the resolution.
This week's debate will be in sharp contrast to the one in 2002, which authorized Bush to use force if Iraqi President Saddam Hussein did not comply with U.N. weapons inspectors.
That debate resulted in solid margins of support from Republicans and Democrats a victory for a president buoyed by popular ratings following the Sept. 11 attacks and easily assuring a jittery nation that Hussein posed a gathering threat to the

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I know im reviving a thread thats a couple of months old. But after all of this discussion about defining what is a PPD. And of course we have all heard of those companies out there selling dogs for 40 thousand dollars.
1. Where would you go to purchase a dog that has the potential to be a PPD?
2. Where would you recommend someone go to purchase a trained PPD?
Please be specific and state breeders , trainers or particular kennels you would recommend that train and breed to standards you believe make the best PPD possible.
I understand that all dogs even from the same line do have different temperaments and have to be evaluated individually. but there has to be breeders/kennels that are consistently breeding dogs with the qualities required to make a nice stable PPD
selection -- when you have the basic sound dog all good things are possible.
credentials, longevity, record -- this is one that would have my confidence About Us
Merciel, that's an interesting case - thank you for sharing it. It brings up another question of mine (ugh, because I can never be satisfied with any answer - there's always the, "yeah, but what if..." lol) sorry about how my mind works.
I moved from the 'big bad city' when I realized I wasn't young and invincible any more - and the crime was spiraling. Fast forward to today, and I'm in a nice rural residential area. I hope so anyway, there's been one incident where the home was broken into and the residents murdered, but nobody knows much about that , what provoked it. So I'd like to think 'crime of passion' or something, something personal. Something that's not related to me at all.
In the city closest to me we have little gang wanna be's and (from what I've been told, from those close to the victims) their initiation to the gang is to hospitalize someone. So random people, while out walking and minding their own business, have been slashed in the face. How lovely is that?
Which brings up: what is a threat? If I was out walking at night and saw a group of teens, then I'd be afraid that they were going to target me. But to go into court and defend myself - say something happened and my dog bit one of them - then from another's view I might just seem paranoid and my (my dogs) action unfounded. Does that make sense?
I don't really know where I'm going with this, lol. But hey, it's the chat room, so whatever. As long as some people remember to hit delete before post, the thread should stay open and we can keep talking, lol.
Shhh... Grown-ups are talking.
Yes if he would have attacked an unarmed man you are right! But if he had the right dog maybe he would have felt safer"And if the guy did have a gun the dog could have saved his life! You are right we will never know. sad ending when anyone has to die.Bill

Yep, that's true, in that fact pattern a life might have been spared if it had been the right dog instead of a gun.
At the cost of considerable financial liability and possibly losing the dog, but even so, I suspect that particular defendant would have preferred that outcome to going to jail for a long time and having his own life ruined.
But the world will never know.
You can call a dog back! When the bullet leaves the gun its to late ; That's were a PPD could save a life.Bill
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
And while I very much hope it never comes to that, I will note in passing that you would probably be pretty much the ideal test case for this area. Maybe just a thought to keep in a back pocket somewhere, I dunno.
@ alex -- so, belatedly, a clumsy attempt to explain what I was getting at: basically, it is the idea that a dog who has been trained to attack people will do so under much less unusual circumstances, and with a less overt threshold, than the average pet dog. You would have to argue that a "normal dog" (whatever that even means) would respond a certain way to that situation, and that your dog did not just attack because it's been trained to do that.
I think this probably would not make much difference in a situation where the dog made a justified attack. But in a gray area* it could really hurt you, and if you were so unfortunate as to have a poorly trained unstable "PPD" (which I do think is a definite possibility for some people who get taken in by scammers and unscrupulous trainers), then you are really going to be in trouble.
* -- gray area hypo, taken from a real case I had: Guy is in bed with his girlfriend early one morning when her phone rings. He overhears the conversation and realizes that her ex-boyfriend is coming over, and the ex is mad because he knows the current boyfriend is there now. He also knows that the ex is a serious drug dealer, has a bad temper, and carries a gun while dealing drugs.
Guy decides to get out of there because he doesn't want any trouble. However, before he can make it into his own car and drive away, the ex pulls up, gets out of his car, and approaches the guy. No overt threats are spoken -- in fact, no words are exchanged at all -- but the ex reaches into a pocket as he walks up. Guy, thinking that the ex is about to pull out a gun and shoot him, panics and unloads three bullets into the dude, killing him.
Turns out the ex did not have a gun or any other weapon on his person. The encounter happens on the street so there's no defense of home (and it's the girlfriend's home anyway).
I'm not really looking for an answer here, I'm just throwing out the fact pattern because that is one where, to this day, I think that's the closest thing I've ever had to a semi-legitimate self-defense claim. (There are other facts I'm not including in this writeup that ultimately made it more clearly not a valid self-defense claim, but for the sake of discussion, just pretend the case is as I described it.)
In that scenario, if it's a dog that goes for the ex-boyfriend instead of three bullets, what happens? I don't know. But that is one where I think it might matter to the court whether your dog had been trained in bitework or not -- again, not because it would necessarily alter how the dog would respond, but because it would alter how the court perceived the dog.

Try and put yourself in my place. I wrote one post, just one post, disagreeing with your viewpoint. In that post I did my absolute best to explain my point of view in such a way that you could understand how I came to the conclusions I did. I didn't disrespect you, resort to name calling, or attack you in any manner. I simply used your words to show you why I disagree.
Read back through this thread and count the number of posts that disagree with my point of view. There are a lot. Now count the number that thoroughly explain why they disagree. I was respectful enough of your point of view to go back and address your specific arguments, instead of dismissing you, because you disagree, without justification.
You didn't respond to any of my questions or differing opinions, you just got defensive, but you expect far more from me. I'm supposed to prove my point for it to be a valid argument, but you don't hold yourself to the same.
This thread, and the conflict shown in the last few pages, is an example of why some more experienced people don't post much here. I have actually received PMs validating this statement. Speaking for myself, it's not that I get offended that someone disagrees with me. I totally invite that! Discussion is the harbinger of learning, and I'm all about learning. Opinions based in conjecture should be voiced as such. Notice I did not say that they shouldn't be voiced!
I don't know what you are proficient in, but I'm sure you are really good at something. You are intelligent and driven. Let's say, for the sake of discussion, that it's medical equipment repair. If we were discussing the pros and cons of a PDP1170 respirator (I made that up, so don't google it) and you had years of experience with that particular model. I, on the other hand, just breathe a lot (usually through my mouth). The discussion wouldn't be about the finer aspects of the PDP1170, because I wouldn't have the knowledge to speak intelligently concerning it's manufacture or quality. All I could do is base an opinion on what facts I may have, combined with what my gut tells me.
What if you knew through experience that the PDP1170 was a POS, and was hard to work on, and required more maintenance than any other respirator. But I was kept alive by one for 3 weeks in intensive care, so I argued that they were the best piece of equipment on the planet and I wanted 3 for my garage just in case.
I hope you understand.
Sorry for the interruption to the thread.

It's a typical, 1980's style porn video, meaning that it is filmed in very bright, commonly used, VHS-tape format that was so popular among the 80's porn boom. If you still enjoy unshaven pubic viewing, men and women, and are turned on by the 80's look: men with perma and mustaches,, women with hair-sprayed stiff styles and lots of makeup, then this is for you. As for the two of us, it was OK, but really did nothing to enhance our bedroom fun.
Alysha really looks like she is enjoying herself in this video. The premise of the scenes are that she meets fans/strangers online then invites them to her hotel room for sex. She also goes to an adult store where she performs oral in the peep booths, and lastly goes into a porn theater for groping and sex with a number of men. Kudos to her husband also for his excellent camera work. The only downfall of this video to us was the porn theater scene. It's a bunch of desparate, out of shape, small dicked guys that are like vultures when she strips for them. Please guys, get a life, or at the very least, when going to a porn shop for sex, clean yourself up.
It is actually a good lesbian dvd, and it does appear that Tanya is really into the scenes; however, the scenes themselves are repetitive....start off with a lame massage, go into a mutual naked massage, continue with oral, and end with mutual orgasim. Also, not a turn-on flick for your gal, unless, of course, she is into this type of fun.
Done properly, this could have been an excellent, erotic movie for couples; however, the sex scenes are just way too long, played out with no emotion. You will be fast-forwarding it in no time. Plus, for example, in the first scene, that takes well over 10-12 minutes, you would expect the male to have a decent money shot, but, alas, he barel produces a very small, unimpressive release.

Gardnerville residents attending a workshop at the former Eagle Gas Station on Saturday overwhelmingly thought the building should be preserved on the site. Town Manager Tom Dallaire described three options to residents, two of which included removing the building. A third option that preserves the building on the site was a favorite with the two dozen that attended the Saturday session. Mission Street resident Judy Mello expressed concern that someone unfamiliar with the intersection might attempt a left turn onto Highway 395. "It's virtually impossible to turn south onto Highway 395," she said. "It's unsafe." Mello voted to keep the …

In light of all the horrors, dishonesty, violence, bigotry, judging, pedophilia, stealing, ad infinitum that regularly takes place in all religions, it is fair to ask the question: why fight to save all this unsavory institutionalism?
We, of course, are most familiar with the Christian brand of religion, and its various sub-groups. Nevertheless, what we state in criticism about the church holds true for other religions as well.
"Moslem Brotherhood" of Scott Walker
Just as the Moslem Brotherhood uses religious references to advance political motives, so does Governor Scott Waker of Wisconsin use his right-wing "Christianity" to play out his agenda for his "special" friends and supporters. Yes, the way they frame their theology is one thing, but the way they advance their extreme agenda has many similarities.
History shows us that extreme right-wing politics have always used religion to secretly or clandestinely promote their plans. As Scott Walker just did, he signed the latest anti-abortion bill in private. Imagine, a politician making an important action AWAY from the cameras! And much of the recent right-wing agenda in the Wisconsin legislature has been forged in secret. Shades of Nazism and fascism! Is it too extreme to draw a similarity between current right-wing extremism and Nazism/fascism? No, it isn't.
What conservatives MUST change...
It is awkward, humorous, and pathetic to watch the right-wing of American politics hustle this way and that way to try and satisfy wealthy contributors, war corporations, greed corporations, and people with bent or distorted views on what constitutes morals and ethics. Trying to change their image, conservatives and right-wingers have tried to entice Latinos and minorities. In elections, the Republicans get very few votes from these groups. Only gerrymandering has allowed Republicans to hold onto some of their offices. What the Republican Party needs most of all --by far-- is something so obvious that it amazes that it is not realized.
First, let me remind you of whom the Republicans have chosen as their leaders over the past centruy: Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Joseph McCarthy, Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney...........need I say more? That is hardly a list of intellectual heavyweights. But today it seems to be getting even worse. Let's consider who it is that now leads among the right-wingers [Republicans]:
Zimmerman case debacle
The world stopped operating as American media concentrated on the airline crash at San Francisco International Airport, and the Zimmerman trial in Florida. The international impact of events in Egypt, the civil war brewing more violently in Iraq, etc. became boring sideline concerns for American "journalists."
The Zimmerman trial was particularly disturbing for me because what should have been a major focus --guns-- was barely ever mentioned. Yes, there were racial and bigotry aspects, and that got plenty of attention, and I'm glad this attention was paid. But without a gun, there would have been no case. What in the hell was Zimmerman doing with a gun anyway? He was a self-elevated Western sheriff, saving the town from desperados. C'mon. The guy was caring a gun because this area of Florida is rife with bigotry, home to NRA lovers, and people who think guns protect them. Dare I say, that as with most gun-totters, it was also thought of as a penis extension?
There seems to be a blind spot when it comes to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. And the military and political powers that be in the U.S. seem to totally ignore the history of the area, how things came into the current state, and just about anything coherent when it comes to matters related to the Middle East.
One of my graduate study programs focused on the Middle East. Like others who have studied the Middle East, I immediately realized the huge mistake that was being made by invading Iraq. And the way we have handled Afghanistan is atrocious. Yet no one in the U.S. government seems to have a clue.
Milwaukee vs. Wisconsin
Perhaps you didn't know that there are three unoffical mottos for the State of Wisconsin. The first is: "Forward!" The second is: "What's good for Milwaukee must be bad for Wisconsin." The third is: "What's bad for Milwaukee must be good for Wisconsin." Take your pick.
Fomer Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson, while it that office, was addressing an audience in northern Wisconsin and said brazenly: "Stick it to Milwaukee!" While serving in the Wisconsin legislature, Scott Walker, representing the suburbs of Wisconsin's largest city, voted almost unanimously for things that favored other parts of the area and state while "sticking it to Milwaukee." As Wisconsin's Governor, Scott Walker seems dedicated to acting in Milwaukee's worst interests.

MORE than half the allegations against former Labor MP Craig Thomson could be thrown out on the grounds that their statute of limitations has been exceeded, Fair Work Australia concedes.
The Federal Court is still considering an appeal in a separate case between the Fair Work Ombudsman and Toyota Material Handling, which found there was a two-year statute of limitations for actions under the former Workplace Relations Act, the provisions of which were rolled in the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009.
That is the same act Mr Thomson is alleged to have breached 37 times - each of which is potentially punishable by fines of up to $6600.
All of those 37 alleged breaches occurred when he worked for the HSU, a job he left to enter Parliament in 2007.
If they were thrown out because they exceeded statute of limitations, Mr Thomson would continue to face 25 alleged breaches of the Health Services Union rules. They do not attract a financial penalty, although he could be required to pay compensation in relation to some of them.
The prospect of up to $450,000 in fines is the most immediate political ramification of the Fair Work proceedings for the minority government, because it raises the possibility that Mr Thomson could be bankrupted and therefore disqualified from sitting in Parliament.
Being found guilty of civil charges does not preclude an MP from serving.
A spokeswoman for Fair Work Australia said proceedings had been brought on the basis that there was a public interest in the matter and a reasonable chance of success.
She said the decision in the Toyota Material Handling appeal was outstanding and could have an impact on the Thomson case, but even if it did 25 alleged breaches of HSU rules could still proceed. If they were upheld they would result in a "declaration" by the court, and possibly compensation payments, but did not attract a financial penalty.
"Under the former Workplace Relations Act, time limits were set for certain proceedings and not for others. Toyota Material dealt with a proceeding where there was no time limit. The Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act has the same feature, so a ruling on Toyota Material should also be applicable to any case against Mr Thomson under that act," said Adelaide University workplace law expert Professor Andrew Stewart.
Mr Thomson maintains his innocence and says he thinks all the civil charges against him will be thrown out. Labor ceased providing legal and financial support for Mr Thomson in April.
Separate police investigations into Mr Thomson and the HSU are continuing.

Those beams were the final steel needed to finish the front wall of the new theater, which now allows the roof to be completed and the inner work to begin inside the theater as early as Friday morning. General Manager of Legends Dennis McGovern watched as construction crews continually, and swiftly, erected the building that will be a staple to the offerings at Legends.
"It is important to northern Nevada," McGovern said of the in-progress theater. "We are bringing a form of entertainment that is only available as close as Sacramento. Now we are bringing that to this market that has never had it or had a chance to experience it on a daily basis.
"What it does for the Legends, it is one more piece of the puzzle for us. The Legends, in concept right from the beginning, was never one thing. It was always great outlet shopping. It was always great big boxes, it was always great entertainment and food -- and this is the entertainment piece. This is now the one-stop shop location and a great reason to spend a lot of time here now."
McGovern said the theater is on track to open "in the first quarter of 2014," which he hopes will align nicely with a blockbuster movie for customers to see the 40-foot-high and 70-foot-wide IMAX screen at its best. He said the construction process has seemed slow given his access to it daily, but admits that was a falsity given the number of residents who notice the progress.
"All of northern Nevada has waited a long time for this to come," McGovern said, "And for me it is interesting how people come every week or 10 days and they tell me, 'Look how much work is being done.' I guess when I look at it every day I think, 'Oh my gosh this is going so slow.' (laughing)
"From groundbreaking, excavating the site, doing all the foundations and block work, roof decking -- there is a lot of work that has been done."
The new Galaxy Theater will occupy 62,000 square feet of land at Legends and will offer a 12-auditorium theater with high-definition digital sound, 3D capability and one three-story tall IMAX screen for customers. The construction of the theater, in its entirety, will employ about 400 people during its near six-month process and will maintain about 50 jobs when the theater opens next year.
Galaxy Theaters President Rafe Cohen spoke at the project's groundbreaking in June, saying the surrounding shopping outlets and restaurants would provide a perfect compliment to the theater.
"It's very important for a movie theater to be surrounded by restaurants," Cohen said. "Two-thirds of visits to a movie theater include a meal either before or after so when we are talking about hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, it is going to have a significant impact on the restaurants and other shops here. We are very happy about being a part of the Legends."
*Other Legends Updates
Buffalo Wild Wings is set to open Sept. 30, according to McGovern, and interviews are being done for available positions at the incoming restaurant. The new sports bar and eatery will be in the area near BJ's at the corner of Lincoln Way and Sparks Boulevard and "attracts a whole new market segment," according to Legends officials who spoke on the matter earlier this year.

Although the session was closed to the media, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett confirmed that Johnson did take part in the practice.
"His presence has been out there the whole time, it's just nice to see him in a helmet I think from all of our standpoint," he said. "The good thing is, Stevie's done a great job being out there and supporting everybody because he's obviously had to have some growing pains in the new system. So he's been able to really get a lot of mental reps, and I think being out there helping those guys has been critical for all of them."
(Be sure to follow me along on Vine all season long)
On Monday (as seen above), Johnson was working intensively with trainers along the sidelines as he was getting closer to a return. Johnson hasn't been able to take part in any team workouts since straining his back at the team's voluntary veteran minicamp in April. The Bills have Wednesday off and get back to work on Thursday to wrap up their final practice of the second week of OTAs.
