Where's the outrage, religious supporters of migrant kids?
Much has been made–including by me–of the broad array of religious voices raised on behalf of the immigrant children from Central America who have flooded our Southern border in flight from murderous gangs at home. But Catholic bishops and the evangelical leaders have somehow managed to avoid criticizing the Republicans who have blocked their recommendations.

Chemical Peels Orlando Florida Why Peels?
As we age, our cells turn over every 60-90 days instead of every 30-60 days in our younger years. As a result, a thick layer of skin gives us a dole, sallow appearance. Make up doesn't go on smoothly any more, and the products we spend so much money on cannot penetrate the thickened layer of skin. Ultimately, we lose our glowing, healthy, vibrant look. Chemical peels may sound intimidating, but they feel great and make your skin look phenomenal. We used different types of dermologic acids to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. These treatments work by killing bacteria, disolving dead skin and stimulating collegan formation.
- Lactic
- Kojic
- Salicylic
- Glycolic
- Immunize Peel
- Jesner Peels
- Vitalize Peel
- VI Peel
- Forte Peel
- Rejuvenize Peel
- Obagi Blue Peel
- Body Peel
Skin Medica Vitalize Peel™ and/or VI Peel
- Very superficial peel requires 3-5 days of peeling
- The recommended peel suitable for all skin types
- Special formulation includes a unique blend of peeling agents: alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol, and retinoic acid (obtained only by physicians)
- Results are predictable and noticeable after just one peel
- Dramatic results are seen after a series of peels
- A great prep treatment for Erbium Fractional skin resurfacing, or IPL treatment
Glycolic and Salycilic Peels
If you are new to skin care or chemical peels, these peels are less aggressive and a great way to acclaiming and introduce your skin to rejuvenation! The goal with these peels is to gently get cellular turnover back to a healthy and vibrant level. Regular light peels such as glycolic and salycilic peels can help aide in the overall health and vitality of our skin over time. It's the small steps that we do every several weeks which slow down the aging process, keeping a youthful appearance and glowing, refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

Great vitamin at a great price
11 people found the following review helpful
Posted by kevin-grant on Jan 03, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
My degree was in physiology so I have tried a lot of different multivitamins over the years. There are certain key points that I look for in a vitamin. This multivitamin rates really well for me because of the following points; - Folate : Most multivitamins contain folic acid which is the cheaper synthetic form. However many people`s livers have trouble converting more than 300 mcg's a day. This multi contains half of its folate as calcium folinate which is better utilized than folic acid. - B12 : This multi contain methylcobalamin which is the active and more expensive form of B12. It also contains a decent amount of B12. - The doses of the vitamins are not too high, and most are in the preferred form that is easily adsorbed and used by the body. I am a 200 pound (90 kg) male, so I actually take 2 capsules per day. One in the morning with breakfast and one about 2 o'clock with lunch.

After realizing my diet was lacking D and B vitamins I decided to look for a multi-vitamin. I decided to go with this one because it has vitamin D3 instead of D2 and because the B-12 vitamin is of type Methylcobalamin, which I have read to be the best one. Both these vitamins were also in sufficiently large doses compared to other multi-vitamins. I also love that this multi-vitamin contains lots of herbs and that it is vegetarian. The pills are somewhat large, but incredibily easy to swallow. I should probably get a blood test in a while to see that everything I need is actually being covered, but until then I trust this multi-vitamin to take care of my D and B vitamin needs. I haven't experienced headaches like another reviewer mentioned.

Multivits from greens, reds, herbs and algaes is what we must seek and aim for. This formula is such a pure that even my dog wants to eat this capsule, licks the inside of the bottle! You can cheat human and he can use chemic stuff, but you can;t cheat the dog! The dog is indicator in this case! So, I think no words are needed further. Believe in Paradise, this company is here for us, for our health! Update: yes, it cleanses out and some mild head aches are present as other reviewer in Russian language noted, also. We are not afraid of it, it is good. We think you shouldn't afraid, also.

This supplement is loaded with antioxidants and green vegetable ingredients, that add vim and vigor to ones lifestyle. I feel renewed and full of vibrant energy when I use this supplement. The pills are easy to swallow and there is no after taste.
Not so great as described on package.

On packaging it looks like the perfect cheap multivitamin, but when you take it and later go to the toilet you can see that your urine turns glowing yellow. I can therefore conclude that it goes through your system and goes out without being absorbed by the body.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Dower Elementary is a Kids at Hope school. We believe that all students are talented, smart, and capable of success. I'm sorry for those who have had negative experiences in the past. Our staff works hard to engage kids in meaningful learning in a respectful, responsible and safe learning enviornment. We invite families to join us in our family activities and in volunteer opportunities.
Great teachers, awful principal. My children were happy, and the teachers always made sure, that as parents we were involved. The buildings were fairly updated and facilities clean. I was not impressed with the principal. We called CPS on a separate set of parents because of some things they had done to my son, and I called the principal asking to discuss this with her. I called back several days later, and then a third time a few days after that. Not only did she not ONCE return my calls, when I asked her if she'd heard my messages, she brushed me off. I found out a while later that this parent had not only been a chaperone for 2 field trips, but had been allowed to get my son away from the other students and teachers. Fortunately nothing bad happened, but we changed schools IMMEDIATELY. Mrs Dawson doesn't take the child's safety seriously enough. She should be ashamed.
UNHELPFULL! Not only was the lady extremely rude but was extremely unhelpful in answering my questions. I called about enrolling my daughter into all day kindergarden and she acted like it was sooo hard to give me information to basic questions. If thats the kind of atmosphere my daughter will be around i want nothing to do with it.
My son went to Kindergarten here 2 years ago, and loved it. We never had a problem and my son got lots of attention because of the small classes. Very understanding to military sitiuations such as helping my son deal with deployments and missing school when daddy was on leave or coming home. No complaints once so ever! Oh and I also loved how they got parents involved with the classrooms, I also took a free parenting class which included free dinner and child care.
I was new to the area and thought this was the only school in our district. I would not suggest this school to anyone. Within the first few days, my son would come home crying and upset saying that he "wasn't learning anything" . So my husband decided to sit in class with him for 2 days to see what was being taught. Upon entering the class, my husband was approached by 2 little boys asking was he "packing a gun". On the 2nd day, the teacher was not able to have story time because she couldn't control the class. At that moment, my son was disenrolled & put into a different district. In a matter of two weeks, he was reading, writing better, and spelling.
I have a pre-k student that goes to Dower. and i have never had a problem with them. Mrs. Madori has always had the utmost respect not only for me as the mother but for my son and my other child that is not in school yet.
I may be alittle bias about my opinion about the school I work for but I have worked for many other schools and the staff here has an extreme sence of belonging which trickles down to the students. I did not feel that at the other places I've worked in the past.
I definetly agree with the parent that speaks to allowing the parents to be the authoritarian as necessary. It is true that the teachers at this school are ready to pounce at any given moment. I personally visit the school very frequently and reecognize that the teachers are VERY serious about their jobs. I say have fun and boost moral for both the teachers and students. The principal is great - she is genuine and energentic.
Both my 3rd grader and my 5th grader have had consistently excellent experience with teachers and activities at Dower Elementary. My third grader has had her motivation to learn boosted from her previous school where she was in 1st and 2nd grade, and she finds the learning experience fun with challenges she is motivated to handle ..which is a big change from her other Lakewood school. My 5th grader is very bright and he enjoys being around what appears to be a good population of other bright students in his class. The teacher has taken advantage of this bright class by having it take on lessons advanced for this grade. A number of other parents I have talked to are also gratified by their children's teachers at Dower Elementary. We are fortunate to have these teachers and excellent school.
I feel that the teachers at this school treat a portion of the students with respect, and the other portion with disrespect. As a former student, I had personal experiences with disrespect from teachers. What I noticed was that with the portion who got poorly treated, they were good students; good grades, never disrespected the teachers... the only difference I noticed between the poorly treated students and decently treated students was because of their choice of friends and clothing. I feel that people should not be treated different because of what they wear, but how their attitude is. I'm not saying that all of the teachers are, um, 'unfair', but most of them were.
My son has always made straight A's until we moved here and I put him in Dower. He hated going to school and his grades dropped. I hated seeing him so unhappy so I transferred him to another school. Immediately, I saw a big change in him. He was happy about going to school again and his grades went back up. I'm not saying the whole school is bad, but I wasn't impressed with the teachers he had.

How to Plant COSMOS Seeds
Sow Cosmos seed in cell packs or flats 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Kept at 70-85° F., germination averages 14-21 days. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds after all danger of frost in rows,
thin to 12-18 inches apart. Less efficient but easier: Scatter seeds. Rake seeds into soil and keep area moist until germination.
Comments: Full sun. Tolerates heat, drought, and poor soil. More flowers with moderate water in soils of average fertility. Excellent cut flower (7-10 days) when blooms are cut as petals unfold, flowers will fully open in vase. Cosmos plants attract birds and butterflies and will usually self-sow.

The Primary Care Team: Learning from Effective Ambulatory Practices (PCT-LEAP)
"Improving the quality of primary care is a key objective of health care reform. Central to the improvement of primary care is the development of effective primary care teams. We are delighted that the LEAP project will allow us to study some of the nation's finest primary care practices and spread their staffing innovations to others." -- Ed Wagner
In 2012, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation launched The Primary Care Team: Learning from Effective Ambulatory Practices (the LEAP Project, or PCT-LEAP) with the aim of making primary care more accessible and effective by identifying practices that maximize the services of the primary care workforce. LEAP is directed by MacColl Center Director Emeritus Ed Wagner and Margaret Flinter, PhD, APRN, senior vice president and clinical director of the Community Health Center, Inc., a statewide Federally Qualified Health Center in Connecticut.
PCT-LEAP has selected 30 primary care practices across the country to visit and learn from, to identify practice innovations that make primary care more efficient, effective, and satisfying to patients and providers. The practices have shared their innovative uses of staff both during site visits and in a learning community with their fellow exemplars. Site visits have been completed as of October 2013.

Nineteen outstanding individuals have been selected for participation in the year-long PCT-LEAP Emerging Leaders program. The Leaders were nominated from exemplary primary care practices across the US and represent a diversity of clinical roles including physicians, nurses, medical assistants, and quality improvement profressionals. Participants were selected based on their demonstrated commitment to quality and enthusiastic recommendations from their colleagues.

A Night in Red Rocks
Derek Seymour
Member since
I got this sack for a trip to Red Rocks thinking it might come in handy if I went in to the backcountry. Little did I know I would be using it the first night because we were short one tent. It kept me dry and extra toasty even though the outer shell was wet with dew. It also packs insanely small. Darn good sack at an awesome price!

Tuesday 13 May 2014
Luis Suarez has added to his accolades this season by being named the Barclays Player of the Season for 2013/14.
The panel of judges who voted for the Barclays Players of the Month over the course of the season picked the Liverpool forward as their best player after he struck a record-equalling 31 goals, as well as 12 assists, for a 38-match campaign.
His performances meant that the Uruguayan also collected the Barclays Golden Boot award for finishing the campaign as the top goalscorer in the Barclays Premier League.
Suarez was voted the Player of the Season by his peers at the Professional Footballers Association last month and by the Football Writers' Association, too.
The Barclays panel voted Tony Pulis as the Barclays Manager of the Season. The Crystal Palace manager guided the Eagles to 11th in the Barclays Premier League after joining the club in November when they had four points and were bottom of the table. Pulis was presented with his award at last night's League Managers' Association awards dinner. Speaking after receiving the award, the Welshman believes his work has only just begun.
"This is a community club based in the most densely populated area in London and has a great opportunity of pushing forward," he said. "We've got to stay in the Premier League for the next two or three years to realise what we can eventually achieve. We have to look forward and say this is the way we will go and do it."
The Barclays Golden Glove award for 2013/14 was jointly won by Chelsea's Petr Cech and Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny. The two goalkeepers kept 16 clean sheets each this season, Cech doing so in 34 Barclays Premier League appearances and Szczesny in 37. This is the third time that Cech has won the award, and the first time for Szczesny.
Player: Connor Wickham (Sunderland); Manager: Tony Pulis (Crystal Palace)
Players: Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez (both Liverpool); Manager: Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool)
Player: Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool); Manager: Sam Allardyce (West Ham United)

Polish food in Worcester area??
I'm looking for paczki's or kielbasa or any kind of good Polish food....takeout or restaurants... in the Worcester-Framingham-Franklin areas. Thanks!!
Golemo on Millbury St., Worcester has awesome sausage. It's a market though, not a restaurant.
re: spicykitten
It's Cafe Polonia, and it's in Andrew Square, South Boston. Many reviews are on the Boston board.
The folks who run the market across from the favorite polish rest in southie recently took over tom's international deli on water st. that's in addition the market and deli on millbury st.
Haven't lived in Worcester for a while but Tom's International Deli off of Kelly Sq. had ALL kinds of Polish goodies. Probably still does...
re: sox.fan
I found a Polish Deli in Blackstone. It's located in the plaza where the Stop & Shop is, right on the Blackstone/Woonsocket line, Rt 126. All types of homemade kielbasa and strings of imported dried mushrooms.
-Euro Guild; open Thursday to Saturday, good selection German and Eastern European Foods
-European Cafe at 23 Millbury Street; they have groceries, fresh Kielbasa, baked goods, plus a Kosher/Pavere bakery next door.
-Golemo's Market (Polish grocery store) at 43 Millbury Street in Worcester.
-Krakow Deli at 52 Pulaski Blvd in Bellingham, MA and 707 Washington Street in Attleboro, MA; They sell holy bread and hay during the Christmas season, very good kielbasa; across the street is Yankee Spirits who sells a large selection of Polish beer.
I believe there is also a Polish Meat Market on Armistice Blvd in Pawtucket, which is only a few miles from Attleboro.
Try the Vienna in Southbridge. The Chef is Polish & Austrian, he should be able to make pierogi or any ethnic dish a polish boy would like.
Golemos is AMAZING as far as polish markets go, hanging sausages, breads hams, piergois and everything else you could imagine including all grocery items in Polish Language packaging, the staff is also fluent in polish as well.
Just the scent in there makes me think of my great grandmothers kitchen!
Tom's International Deli on Water Street, right off exit 13 off 290, has GREAT Polish food. They also have LUX, excellent cream cheese. I would pass on Golemo, the front deli where the meat is kept was nasty dirty when I shopped and the service was lacking.
I was wondering why you asked about the polish food?
Are you polish?Where do you live?
'Cos Im polish and im planning this student's exchange in 2,5 years to Worcester;)
And Id love to find out you live or are going to live there:) and that they have some polish food shops;)
Did you find any?

Found April 18, 2012 on Pro Boxing Fans:
PLAYERS: Antonio Rubio, John Duddy, Sergio Martinez, Julio Cesar Chavez
After pounding out his win over Marco Antonio Rubio in February, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. was supposed to go straight on and fight Sergio Gabriel Martinez, settling once and for all who has the right to wear the WBC's (semi-irrelevant) middleweight title belt around his waist. As with so much else surrounding that green strap since WBC President-for-Life Jose Sulaiman chose to strip Martinez and give the title to Chavez, nothing is going quite according to plan or the usual standards of normalcy. Junior apparently feels he needs a tune-up prior to fighting Martinez, and has accordingly signed to fight prospect Andy Lee. This points directly to short confidence on the part of Chavez and his camp going into a clash with pound-for-pound contender and people's champ Martinez, not only because Chavez apparently feels the need to duke it out with a Martinez stand-in, but also because the fight is slated for El Paso, in the infamously dodgy (from a boxing point of view) ...

Bio and Links
For complete website rules and frequently asked questions – with answers – click on the "Help with Find A Grave" link on the left column. Also, various brief website procedures are listed in the contributor profiles on many of the links under "Find A Grave Friends" at the lower right; for example, here and here. Before adding a memorial, make sure it is not already on Find A Grave. Please note that an individual's right to privacy disappears when they are deceased.
I am not an administrator of this website; other than editing memorials that I manage, I cannot resolve issues that you are experiencing (e.g., membership, missing photos, incorrect cemetery names). I am not associated with any cemetery, and have no further information on cemeteries beyond what is already shown online. Additionally, I have no further information on individuals beyond what is already shown online.
Abbreviated website rules concerning photographs: The copyright of all photos posted to Find A Grave remains with the original submitter. No use of photos for Find A Grave, any other website, or personal use is given without prior consent of the original submitter. Do NOT copy my photos and use them on memorials on this website (you are attributing the photos as your own when you use them). Contact me using the 'Edit' tab on any memorial that I manage and I will upload the photo to the memorial that you specify. I will allow my cemetery and grave photos to be used elsewhere for your personal use and informational purposes with this (Click on any photo to get a larger view, and to see possible captions – such as the location of the grave.) Keep in mind that most Find A Grave volunteers contribute their time (and fuel) towards improving THIS website – not to provide free labor for another website. Out of common courtesy, give credit for photos that you use; giving credit is not too much to ask for the effort put in. Again, source me as the photographer and Find A Grave as the original location.
In fairness to those who may have closer ties to a memorial, I am no longer transfering outside of the Find A Grave guidelines. I likely have had transfer requests from relatives closer than you for the same memorials that you want to have transferred. Requests that are outside of the guidelines (such as aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.), or do not state relationship, will be ignored. Find A Grave's mission is to document cemeteries, "...the goal is not to 'own' every memorial of those to whom you are related." This website can be useful to genealogists, but it's about accurately recording graves, not building family trees. Per policy, I will competently link and add your accurate information to a memorial upon your request. (I can only link to spouses and parents). Again, because of the quantity of messages that I receive, transfer requests that do not follow the transfer procedure will be deleted without a response/explanation.
"Copying and posting photos originally taken by another photographer is a copyright violation and is strictly against Find a Grave policy...
Any photo that was not taken (photographed) or owned by you should never be posted to Find a Grave memorials. This is Find a Grave's copyright policy, not the interpretation by someone else of how the policy should work...
Consider any photo that you did not personally take (with your camera) as copyrighted, as far as Find a Grave is concerned. The copyright notice is displayed every time you or any other member uploads a photo...
...we will unfortunately have to terminate your account. Find a Grave copyright policy is not an arguable point."
—administrator AJ
"Photograph the grave/gravesite 'in-situ', or as it appears in that moment in time. The purpose is to show the grave as it is, be it dirty, cluttered, broken, or pristine. It is not your job to clean it, clear it, fix it, or decorate it. The graves are not yours to do as you please. Remember, one person's 'good deed' just might be another person's vandalism. Go take lots of photos... but do it like an anthropologist and do not disturb the grave site."

Thanks so much for the transfer. She means a great deal to me. Thought you might be interested in a sort of "back story" for her life. When she was a young mother of 2 year old William Fayette Potter, her husband John Melvin Potter left for the Gold Rush with his brother Dewitt and brother-in-law Benedict Woodward (also a father of a 2 year old son). As children, my sisters and I learned to chant the many last names she had throughout her life: Jane Ann Rector Potter Canfield Curtis Selden. We were somewhat in awe of a woman who had so many husbands, not knowing anything of the story behind that. Yes, we had letters John had written home to her and the family during the trip to California thru the Isthmus of Panama, but WHY DID HE LEAVE HER IN THE FIST PLACE??? Was she a grasping witchy woman? Did she demand more from him than he had to give?
One of the most important questions I wanted to answer was what happened? John never returned. I knew from the letters that Ben had died on the trip. I kept imagining scenarios where John had founded another family on the West Coast,
Ebter FindAGrave.com and Ancestry and my curiosity was finally satisfied.
NO, Jane Ann was NOT a grasping woman. She was the daughter of a preacher, one of the younger members of the Rector family in New York. She was a beautiful woman. Yes, she had many husbands, but there was nothing much else a widow with a child could do but harry another man or perhaps go to live with either her parents (who already had lots of children to care for) or in-laws (who were also taking care of their own widowed daughter and son. She never married for love again as far as I can see. She married men who were older or needed a mother for their child or children after their own spouse had died. She never had another child. William F Potter took care of her in the last few years of her life and periodically earlier,
Ben contracted Panama fever during the crossing of the Isthmus and died at sea. John contracted Panama Fever either crossing the Isthmus or tending Ben. He did make it to the Gold Fields, but her died within less than a month of his arrival. His wife and parents did not know for about 2 years whether he and his brother Dewitt were alive or dead.
This is long and you can ignore it if it's intrusive on your time, but I thought you might be interested.

I have decided to try mindful eating to get more of a handle on this wanting to eat when I'm just bored. I am starting to be ok not eating in front of the tv and if I do I make sure it's measured first and in my calorie limits. So far today I'm doing ok with mindful eating, if I think I'm hungry I'll drink some water and really think "Am I hungry or am I just bored".
Exercise is going well, I walked about 2 miles this morning. I put my 18 mo son in his stroller and start going, I'm hoping for another 2 later on. I love to be able to get outside and get in the exercise. I'm glad I don't really struggle with that.

Furthering Environmental Impact Assessment
Towards a Seamless Connection Between EIA and EMS
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe environmental impact of development projects is currently studied and mitigated from two distinct perspectives: before and after project implementation, with environmental impact assessment (EIA) and environmental management systems (EMS) being the main instruments on the respective sides. This double perspective creates a discontinuity in the way environmental impacts are analyzed, an issue that has been noted by both academics and practitioners. This book gathers and presents both theoretical and actual examples to link EIA with EMS and explores ways to overcome difficulties and provide innovative solutions. Academic researchers, advanced students, EIA practitioners and EMS practitioners will find the book essential for the theoretical explorations of how the link might occur and practical examples in which to explore and critique these theories. less

Empress Pavilion disappointment?
- g
- gourmandizer Nov 28, 2006 12:29 AM
I ate there this past Sunday (11-27-06) and must admit to a bit of disappointment. We were there for about an hour, and several standards did not come by, including filled steamed broad rice noodles, taro pancakes, and zongzi (steamed wrapped glutinous rice) - though I did see the latter on a far off table as we were leaving. I also felt that the dumpling we did have were not adequately differentiated in taste, reflecting an inadequate use of ginger and other aromatics.
Two questions, then:
Do you share my disappoint with Empress or not? I'm interested in a good defense of this venerable dim sum venue.
What is an excellent alternative, even if a bit pricier?
I used to go to Empress a lot with my family about 7-10 years ago. All I remembered was the horrible wait and the over crowdedness of the place. I recently went back to try it again with my bf about 6 months ago and realized not much has changed.
We usually go to the Sam Woo Seafood Restaurant for dim sum. (If you don't mind going to San Gabriel) I like the food better here and they have specials of $1.90 for the smaller plates (haven't been there recently though so I don't know if they still have this special)
Located at San Gabriel Square or also called Focus Plaza (because of the dept store here) The address is:
140 W. Valley Blvd.
San Gabriel, CA 91776
To get to Sam Woo, you'll have to take the elevator to the top floor in the Focus department. Enjoy!
Actually, there have been a series of posts this year suggesting that Empress Pavilion has gone downhill. Here are a couple of them.
re: UCLAW
Gone downhill? It was never that good to begin with. We went once only more than 9 years ago. We waited an hour for the table, and the food was not great. Just remembered some mushy wrapping on the hargow. Never went back.
The best dim sum places are around SGV, and to avoid disappointment and long waits for your favorite dim sum items, I suggest going to one that you place the order instead of grabbing from the cart. The food is fresher that way - no excuse for mushy wrapping, or fried items that's gone cold.
The best of the lot is Sea Harbor on Rosemead, but any of the others like Mission 261, Triumphal Palace, New Concept, etc will run circles around Empress.
re: ipsedixit
I've quit going to Empress and haven't been there for several years, but I think CBS on Ord can rival Empress in Chinatown. Neither can come close to Trumphal Palace, New Concept, or others in SGV.
Sorry to hear about your dissapointment in Empress Pavillion. I know that sometimes the cart with the items that you want don't come right away. It is always really busy there. We usually will ask the Dim Sum ladies pushing carts what we want and they have been good about hunting down the items for us.
I still look forward to spending my Saturday mornings there.
I'm always looking for dim sum and believe the Empress Pavilion continues to be one of the best (including the San Gabriel restaurants). I've been dining at Empress since it first opened (I believe they opened in 1989 or 1990) and over the years there have been many other dim sum restaurants that have come and gone. Many in the past have attempted to dethrone the Empress....do you remember Harbor Village or Shangrila. Yes some offered a more unque (and sometimes more tasty) array of dim sum selections than the Empress but the "proof is in the pudding"....they could not survive. That said when I dine at the latest buzz names in dim restaurants (New Concept, Triumphant Palace, Mission 261) is the dim sum truly better or are some of us unfairly penalizing the "tried and true" of the Empress' dim sum? BTW, I hear most of the buzz restaurants are really struggling to keep their doors open...so if there food is as good as reported, what's the problem? No question the Empress' look is in need of a facelift (definitely the bathrooms) and the service could be a little less impersonal but the consistency of the Empress' dim sum through all the years still gets my vote!
re: eatlotz
Have you been to Empress recently? There were reports last year that they lost several of their key chefs.
As for me, I think Empress Pavilion was okay the last time I went. But 888 and NBC have been consistently superior.
re: eatlotz
In defense of the buzz restaurants, they have a lot stiffer competition out in SGV. At its location in downtown, Empress is just a "big fish" in a little pond. Based on my own experience there just a couple of months ago, I'd say the Empress would go belly up in SGV. That was one of my worst dim sum experiences ever. It was more about logistics than the food, which was for the most part passable but hardly noteworthy (and some of it wasn't even passable). I know some people have good experiences there, but that only means that the Empress is very inconsistent and consistency is one of the hallmarks of a great restaurant in my book. They've been around too long not to have a good lock on consistency.
My last time at Empress was only a couple of weeks ago and we were there for a Chinese clan New Years banquet, so I'm assuming lots of money went into it. There were probably 300 people there, with the full lion dancing and everything. I'd had pretty good success there for dim sum in the past, but rarely go for dinner.
(slight rant warning) Well, I probably won't be going back. Ever. I asked for ice water, and was handed a pitcher. I poured some into a glass and a large piece of bread or SOMETHING white about the size of a golf ball found its way into my glass. I took the pitcher to the closest waiter station and asked them to replace it and my glass and was told to "wait here." After 5 minutes, I told another waiter that I'd be at my table and pointed it out. Not only did I never receive water, I never received a replacement glass. I was stuck drinking lukewarm tea for most of the subpar meal (bland walnut shrimp, WAY too fatty duck, even for Chinese standards, and nasty mango jello, among other things) until I gave in and went to buy a beer at the bar near the door. I was told if I wanted to pay the $5.50 for a bottle of slightly chilled Sapporo with a credit card, I'd be charged tax as well (it ended up being about 5.94 or thereabouts). I was fine with that, but when I handed over my credit card, it was passed to a waiter to run at some other machine. I was left at the bar for what seemed like a good 6-7 minutes just waiting. I was a bit annoyed that a bar with NO other customers would take that long to return a card with a bill, but I chalked it up to the lousy service I get at 99% of Chinese restaurants.
It was just the culmination of a number of factors, aside from the above, that just pushed me over the edge. I'd been disappointed with the dim sum service before as well (to the point where my mom walked into the kitchen to complain to EVERYBODY...ahh Chinese relatives) and this was just the latest piece. I don't tell people to avoid it, but I certainly won't be handing over any more of my own money.
I've been going there (though not recently) since it opened. Some times it has been excellent and others were like garbage pail day. Once it was so bad, after having been great a few days before (that's why I went back the same week), that I really stopped going and I now maybe only go twice a year but it's usually because someone else wants to go - I never decide to go on my own.
re: SauceSupreme
Inconsistency notwithstanding, difficulty of parking shouldn't be an issue at the Empress because there is validated parking in the multi-story lot right there at the building.
CBS Seafood on N. Spring St. in Chinatown has the best dim sum.
Empress Pavilion dim sum went downhill years ago and isn't worth the very long waits.
I share your disappointment with the Empress Pavilion as far as service and the varied selection but still believe the cooking is still relatively consistent. For reasons unclear to me, the service is generally better at the San Gabriel restaurants than the Chinatown ones. As far as selection at the Empress, there often seems to be a problem with the entire selection not being circulated through the entire dining room...it appears to be more of a lack of managment in the dining room and not so much what is coming out of the kitchen
re: eatlotz
Hi All,
I FINALLY made it to EP today after reading several up and down, good and bad posts about them. My overall assessment:
1) Good solid dim-sum: the best were the roast duck and shrimp chow fun; nothing we had was BAD, I must say
2) Decent main dishes: my parents enjoyed the sea cucumber and seafood noodle dishes; I kind of wished we tried some other types of dishes for variety though (too much of the same, but that was more OUR fault)
3) If you guys have had pork buns from the East Coast, the ones here will surprise you -- They are MUCH SWEETER in EP; my mom was kind of put off by that... an extremely sweet bun and sweet pork filling too; so this will depend on your taste buds or tolerance for sweetness
4) the only DOWNERS here for me:
a) they do not serve coffee at this place at all -- I know, you're wondering "Why does she want coffee at a dim-sum place anyway?" -- But for some reason, the eggs tarts and other desserts always taste so much better to me with a decent cup of coffee than with tea... just my opinion; and
b) Certain areas could have been cleaner (dirty windows, etc.) -- This can probably be a general thing for downtown Chinatown. I remember Ocean Seafood being even dirtier, and I did not like Ocean Seafood's food as much as EP overall; When I ate at Chinese restaurants in Rowland Heights, for example, I did not notice this cleanliness problem as much.
So, overall I was glad to finally try Empress after wondering why people seemed so drastically divided by it. I think for the downtown area, it is definitely the best choice. Just have your coffee elsewhere...
re: Liquid Sky
I agree - I've always had fine times at Empress Pavilion, and now that you mention it Chinatown does have an overall lack of cleanliness... Anyway I'd often stop there before a weekend daytime Dodger game, the parking structure is really easy and convenient, and the food is good, satisfying, and cheap.
re: Liquid Sky
I agree with the consistency issues others have brought up. Sometimes Empress Pavilion is fantastic, and sometimes it's borderline mediocre. But I can say the same for the ballyhooed Ocean Star, which has served me stuff I've literally pushed away after one bite sometimes when I've been there. (I've actually left there a few times thinking, "I wish I'd gone to Empress Pavilion.") Empress Pavilion's selection could be broader, and, if I couldn't hop off the subway and walk there with ease, I'd likely find my way to the San Gabriel Valley more often instead. But it's convenient and reliable, so I'm happy to stick by it.
I've had mixed experiences at Empress, too. I've found that it makes a HUGE difference where you sit. You have to sit as close to the kitchen as you can. If the hostess tries to seat you on the far side of the restaurant, across the main aisle far away from the kitchen door, you must refuse the table and ask for one on the other side of the aisle. Ditto for tables at the far end of the room away from the windows. The service at the tables distant from the kitchen is FAR worse, both in terms of visits from the carts and table service from the wait staff. If you're sitting at one of these bad tables, fewer carts seem to make it to your table, and when they do finally arrive after stopping at every other table in the room, the food is not as fresh.
I have found that as long as I get a good table, I'm always satisfied.
I will say that I've enjoyed the food at 888 more than Empress, but I'm already driving from Woodland Hills to Chinatown, and I just don't want to drag myself all the way out to SGV very often.

Using a subject verb agreement worksheet to learn and understand the topic is extremely important. This particular area of grammar is basic, yet also rather difficult. In our everyday speech, we tend to not focus so much on subject verb agreement. Therefore, when we are writing, those mistakes come out, but we do not notice them. Errors in subject verb agreement are one of the most frequent mistakes seen.
Subject verb agreement means exactly what it says:
that the subject and verb have to agree with each other.
For example, we cannot say "They takes the garbage out." "They" does not belong with the singular verb "takes," but rather with the plural verb "take." However, "take" does go with both "I" and "you." Most people do notice simple mistakes like this fairly readily.
Here's a few more examples of proper subject verb agreement:
Here are some worksheets for teachers and other instructors to utilize.
Using a subject verb agreement worksheet is a very practical way to engage students in the grammar lessons. However, students must also practice with the spoken word, since that is often where many mistakes are made. Encourage students to always use appropriate grammar in and outside of the classroom, and have them work together to create oral presentations center around the proper usage of subject verb agreement.

Placement of child with relatives under section 38(6) Children Act 1989.Cardiff Cardiff (kär`dĭf), Welsh Caerdydd, city and county (1998 est. pop. 320,900), S Wales, on the Taff River near its mouth on the Bristol Channel. Cardiff is the capital of Wales and an important port. Until the early 20th cent. v K S C S & A
High Court Family Division (Munby J)
20 April 2009 [2009] EWHC EWHC High Court of England and Wales 865 (Fam)
A was a one-year-old baby who had been removed from her parents. Assessments concluded that the parents would be unable to care for her and her great-grandmother and aunt put themselves forward as permanent carers. All parties agreed that the placement was viable and that the likely final order would be a special guardianship order. The case came before the justices shortly before Christmas and the family wanted the child moved from foster care immediately. The local authority was not prepared to agree a placement under Reg REG,
n.pr See random event generator. 38 of the Fostering Services Regulations 2002 as it believed that the aunt had a conviction, which might mean she could not be approved as a foster carer carer
a person who looks after someone who is ill or old, often a relative: the group offers support for the carers of those with dementia
carer n → . The local authority suggested that A be placed with her relatives under residence and interim supervision orders; the family and Children's Guardian wanted the local authority to retain parental responsibility under a care order to support the placement and to manage contact with the parents, which was considered a potential difficulty.
The justices made an interim care order together with an order for assessment of the child under the Children Act 1989, section 38(6), to provide the court with evidence of how the child had settled with the aunt and great-grandmother before the making of a special guardianship order. The local authority appealed, claiming that the court had no power to make such an unregulated Adj. 1. unregulated - not regulated; not subject to rule or discipline; "unregulated off-shore fishing"
regulated - controlled or governed according to rule or principle or law; "well regulated industries"; "houses with regulated temperature"
2. placement with carers who had not been assessed as foster carers.
Munby J held that this arrangement was within the power of the court under section 38(6). It was not a 'placement' by the local authority and so section 23 of the Children Act 1989 did not apply. There was therefore no requirement that the great-grandmother and aunt be approved as foster carers. It was not an 'unregulated' placement as it was 'under the continuing control of the court'.
The decision about the placement for a child in a local authority's care is that of the local authority alone. A familiar exception to this is an order for assessment of a child under section 38(6), when a court requires a local authority to place a child with a parent in a residential assessment unit. Assessment units are regulated and inspected, and the placement will involve constant monitoring and supervision by experienced staff. The unit will enter into an agreement with the local authority and with the parents, and will bring the placement to an end if the care of the child is inappropriate. A placement with a family member has no such safeguards for the child. A placement of a looked after child by the court is not one envisaged or provided for by the Regulations and there is no guidance on how a local authority should treat such a placement. The local authority will not have the duties under Reg 35 of the Fostering Services Regulations to supervise the placement, nor the power under Reg 36 to terminate the placement if it becomes unsuitable. As the placement is 'under the continuing control of the court', it is not clear whether the local authority can exercise any control in these circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES, evidence. The particulars which accompany a fact.
2. The facts proved are either possible or impossible, ordinary and probable, or extraordinary and improbable, recent or ancient; they may have happened near us, or afar off; they are public or over the care of the child for whom it retains parental responsibility.
