If you are experiencing a medical emergency please dial 911 immediately
Kidney stones are small stones made of minerals in the urine that stick together. They can cause severe pain as they travel through the ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys and the bladder) to exit the body when you urinate.
Your doctor may give you medicine to ease the pain until you pass the stone. If the stone is too large or gets stuck, other treatment is needed.

The Sith Infiltrator boss that drops the mission objective can ALSO drop Orange-quality (mod'able) L15 bracers. If you wish to farm the bracers (high level toon recommended) you can reset this mission repeatedly. Just run outside the entrance and click "reset". Don't panic if it is greyed out ... you can only reset once every 2 minutes and a L50 will not have any problem getting in and killing this boss in under 2 minutes.
Some people will get lucky and see a bracer on their first, third or 6th drop ... and post happy comments here. I'll let you know it took me 29 kills to get any bracers (and I was farming Consular bracers, not the Trooper bracers I got ... money isn't the issue so much as none of the kind I need are available). Since you can kill it around 30 times an hour, this isn't sooooo bad. Then again, it is quite possible the one you need may NEVER drop for you.
- Trooper - Heavy - TD-17A - Talon Bracers (CONFIRMED via drop just now)
- Knight/Guardian - Heavy - Battle Expulsor's Armguards (confirmed via comments)
- Knight/Sentinel - Medium - Battleborn Armguards (confirmed via comments)
- Smuggler - Medium - Gallant Rogue's Bracers OR RD-07A Spider Bracers (not confirmed which drops from this boss)
- Consular - Light - Omenbringer's Bracers (confirmed via comments)

Potts Camp News
Large crowd attends combined services at local church
A large crowd enjoyed combined services and dinner at Bethlehem United Methodist Church on Sunday. Rev. Don Newton is pastor of the three churches on the Potts Camp Methodist charge; Cornersville is the other one. All churches attended.
Joyce Clayton and her daughter, Merion and David Hunsucker of Ashland, drove to Fulton on Saturday night to attend a gospel singing.
Mary Jo Whaley wants to thank everyone who has sent her flowers, food, cards, visits, phone calls and for their prayers during her recent illness. We are thankful that she is improving.
I enjoyed a recent visit in my home with my cousin, Mary Jo Tillman of Memphis and her daughter, Nancy and Mike McNarry. Mary Jo, age 80, is in a wheelchair. Her late mother, aunt Mary Tucker of Tupelo, was my dad's sister, who once lived here. It has been five years since I've seen her.
The young man who delivered my new washer from New Albany was Wayne Smith, the son of a former pastor of Potts Camp United Methodist Church, Jim Smith and Joann. Bro. Jim was the person who helped us plan our town's 100th birthday in 1988, and our church's 100th birthday in 1989. He continues to dress as Santa Claus on Thanksgiving in front of the Quick Stop in Potts Camp.
Thanks to Lela Hale for the delicious spaghetti dinner she brought me on Tuesday morning.
1. Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles. Isaiah 40:31
2. He died upon the cross for me, he bore the awful penalty and now I'm saved! I'm saved!
3. I'll tell the world I'm a Christian; I'm not ashamed His cross to bear. I'll tell the world I'm a Christian, I'll take Him with me anywhere.
4. Ways to make your light shine: work with joy, pray with love, share what you have, live simply, love deeply and thank God always.
O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry. When I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless. When I am well, help me to remember the sick, and when I am happy, help me remember the sad and lonely, and help me show compassion and love enough to help by word or deed those things we take for granted.
Pray for our country, also for peace and our leaders. Pray for all who are sick and suffering and have lost loved ones.
Prayer list: Diane Clayton, Robert Hugh King, Lina Mae Rhea, Mary Jo McCallum, Hazel Foote, Mary Jo Whaley, Lena Faye Work, Betty Fincher, Charles Henderson, Connie Work, Donna Marett, Henry Tutor, Mary Frances and Leo Clayton.
History and Memories
Rev. Lester James was the new pastor at Potts Camp United Methodist Church in 1930 after the new church was built. The couple had five children. This was during depression years, and people had very little money to pay a pastor, so they let him teach school to help support his family. He was my seventh grade forestry teacher; we liked him, he took us on field trips about twice a week out in the Eagle Springs area to study trees and also to the cotton gin to see how it operated.
That summer he planned a play for the young people so we could raise money for the church. Rosalie was my age. She and I were good friends; I helped her babysit many times. We took the play to Waterford School and Ashland School and presented it twice in our school.
One summer, Rosalie's younger brother, Les James, had a Press Scimitar paper route. One day he was sitting on the Baptist church steps, waiting for the paper, when a truck drove up to my grandfather J.A. Pruitt's store next to Harry Jones' filling station. A man and woman got out of the truck and went in the store; Les noticed a small dog on the front seat, so he went over to see it. On the back seat there was a machine gun and several pistols. About that time, the couple came out on the front porch of the store and saw Les. The woman said, "Give me your gun, I'll shoot him." But the man said, "No one knows where we are now, but they will if you shoot him." Grandpa came out on the porch waving some bills. He said "You forgot your change." But they drove away at a high speed. The gangsters known as "Bonnie and Clyde" were killed later.

Mozilla's Persona beta adds password-free Yahoo! logins
The Mozilla Foundation has shipped a second public beta of its Persona web-login technology featuring a new capability called Identity Bridging, which makes it easier for users to access sites using only their email addresses and no additional passwords. "The goal of Persona is simple: we want to eliminate passwords on the Web …
First time reading/hearing about this.
Is this another single sign on attempt? Like MS Passport? Which no one wanted or trusted.
I still don't get why ease of use is better than having a decentralised point of failure. If that database (as far as I understand you still sign into Persona and it uses wizardry to sign you in elsewhere) got compromised you'd still be up a creek without a paddle.
Re: Hmm...
You mean "Up IT creek without a paddle" eh?
Re: Hmm...
Persona is actually completely decentralized -- there is no single point of failure in the underlying protocol. There *is* a temporary, centralized fallback so that Persona can Just Work for everyone right now, but that centralization automatically disappears bit by bit as domains turn on native support for Persona. Check it out: http://identity.mozilla.com/post/46374271364/persona-is-distributed-today
Re: Hmm...
It works by initially authenticating you using your e-mail provider, getting a certificate in return, and storing the certificate on the browser. Later on the browser uses that certificate to talk directly to the site. It's arguably orders of magnitude more secure than that Passport string-and-paperclip thing held together by cookies.
The wizardry is only necessary if the browser doesn't natively support Persona. If it gets ratified as a standard then they will all eventually support it, if not then there'll probably be an add-ons available until it finally does pick up momentum.
So now with this "amazing new feature" I will need to create an corporate IT-grade user security policy for my family computers? Right now, family members can share a common user session on the living room PC and not have to worry about other people casually snooping their email, etc. They just logout/close the relevant browser window and walk away... because the login passwords are secret and not saved. Browser-level passwordless, persistent SSO breaks this.
What's that you say? "Don't use Persona then"? No argument from me—I just hope it can be disabled by policy. Anything to mitigate the opportunity of strife at home...
Convenient indeed for criminals
Wise people will not put many eggs in a basket.
No thanks...
One identity is one identity too many.
Another data gathering exercise ?
I already get invitations from my e-mail provider to give them my mobile phone number in case I lose my password -- or so they can sell on my number to marketing pests.
Here the risk presumably is that more sites get to know your email address, so they could sell it on.

Wed Jun 12, 2013 10:08 pm Bears P Tress Way has a legitimate chance to win the punting job over Adam Podlesh.
Fantasy Source Spin: Podlesh signed a five-year, $10 million contract in 2011 but got off to a slow start after suffering a hip flexor injury last season. Way has a bigger leg than Podlesh, and if he can improve with his consistency he'll provide the Bears with a cheaper, younger option. The battle for the job will likely continue into preseason.

Checked exceptions are types of exceptions, which are beyond the control of programs.say I/O exception, RemoteException.This could happen, when the resource you were looking was not found(e.g file missing or remote server is down).Unchecked exceptions are Runtime excpetions, which happens due to programmatic errors,wrong data etc.,
Answered On : Dec 5th, 2005
Mainly exceptions are two types Checked Exceptions and unchecked exceptions.Checked exceptions are handled by the use and unchecked exceptions are handled by JVM.Explicit handling is not needed.
Answered On : Dec 9th, 2005
We have two type of exception , checked and unchecked. checked exc. allways says that it is return in try catch or throws block. all user define exception come under this . and unchecked say there is no need to write code inside try catch block.......

Checked Exceptions :1)Indicate most conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch2)"throws "clause checked by the compiler.3)Not subclass of RuntimeException.Unchecked Exceptions:1)Indicate serious problem that a reasonable application should not try to catch and exceptions that can be thrown during the normal operation of the JVM.2)Not checked by the compiler.3)subclass of RuntimeException Class

Checked Exceptions are not because of program errors, may be some out side sources,like file open exception.(may likely to be occured) Unchecked exceptions are because of program errors like array index out of bounds, NUll pointer ,Bad Cast exceptions etc. Checked Exceptions are checked at compile time,where as unchecked exceptiosn are at runtime.
Answered On : Jul 18th, 2011
The differences between checked and unchecked exceptions are:
Checked exceptions must be explicitly caught or propagated as described in Basic try-catch-finally Exception Handling. Unchecked exceptions do not have this requirement. They don't have to be caught or declared thrown.
Checked exceptions in Java extend the java.lang.Exception class. Unchecked exceptions extend the java.lang.RuntimeException.
Vipul Songra
Answered On : Mar 10th, 2012
Checked exceptions are sub classes of java.lang.IOException(these are compile time exceptions)
unchecked exceptions are sub classes of java.lang.Runtime exception(these are runtime exceptions)

Change Your Parenting Style during the Teen Years
- Monday, July 27, 2009
2. Allow for the struggle, should it come. Struggles are opportunities for change. The struggle does not invalidate all the work you have done in the life of your child, nor is it an indictment on your parenting. Just because your teen is experiencing difficulty right now doesn't mean God's thumbprint is no longer on his life. Usually the struggle is for a short time, so don't make things worse than they are, or make your child feel as though they are no longer loved or accepted. The two words I use most when encouraging a parent through such a time as this are: "Struggle well."
The fact that you care so deeply about your teen is no guarantee that everything in their life will be all right. Other factors may affect your teen – factors that are completely out of your control. That's why many Christian teens today go through periods of struggle. Through it all, their parents need to keep adjusting, training, listening, and caring. Teens want more and more freedom, but that freedom shouldn't be without interaction, boundaries and guidance from their parents. Be there to coach them as you allow them a little more autonomy, so they can learn responsibility and grow in maturity through the triumphs and mistakes they'll make along the way.

Some people haven't read Villette, by Charlotte Brontë, even though a lot of Victorian scholars consider it in many ways superior to the more well-known Jane Eyre. I highly encourage you to check it out, and not just for the extremely conspicuous sexual tension between these cuties. (Lucy Snowe x Ginevra Fanshawe)

Kevin Harvick may have had the dominant truck in Friday's Lucas Oil 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, but the dominant truck doesn't always win. And sometimes, rain has something to do with that.
After the race was called early after the ninth and final caution of the race with 57 laps of the scheduled 200-lap distance remaining, NASCAR ended the race and Todd Bodine was declared the winner.
"I've lost them this way. Now I've won one this way," Bodine said after being declared the winner. "I'll take it."
Kevin Harvick dominated the race prior to the first of two red flags for rain on lap 120. After starting the race on the pole, he led 96 of the first 120 laps.
"We didn't have the best truck," Bodine said. "Kevin had the best truck, but racing isn't always about who has the fastest truck."
Harvick's No. 2 truck was up front when the yellow flag waved on lap 96. He wanted to pit but crew chief Ernie Cope told him to stay out because rain was coming. The race went back to green but the caution came out again on lap 111, with Harvick still up front.
Before going back to green, the race was red flagged for rain on lap 120. When the race returned to yellow, Harvick and others who had stayed out during the previous caution made their ways down pit road.
Miguel Paludo, after staying out, restarted up front but lost the lead to Bodine on the restart. When the yellow waved again on lap 126, Pauludo gave up second to pit, while everyone else stayed out. Parker Kligerman then claimed the second spot.
The caution came out for the ninth time in the race won lap 143 for more rain, with the red flag that ultimately ended the race coming out a few laps later.
Bodine was still up front and Kligerman second at the time of the final caution to claim the win and runner-up finish. By the final red flag, Harvick had worked his way back up to third.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHT On May 22, 1997, about 1710 eastern daylight time, a Bell 206B, N61PP, registered to Highlands Helicopter Service Inc., operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 photography flight, experienced an in-flight loss of control while hovering out of ground effect with a tailwind, and crashed in a residential area in Winter Park, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The helicopter was destroyed. The commercial pilot and two passengers sustained serious injuries. The flight originated from Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando, Florida, about 7 minutes before the accident. The photographer stated he was located in the right rear seat behind the pilot and the other passenger was in the left front seat. They departed Orlando Executive Airport and flew to the vicinity of the Naval Training facility to take some photos. They elected not to photograph the facility and traveled southwest bound towards the bank located at 1560 Orange Avenue. He did not know what altitude they were at, but he overheard some conversation on the aircraft radio that they would be at or below 700 feet. They came to a hover heading westbound with a wind from the east and he took several photos of the bank out of the right rear window. They started to move forward, the helicopter started pitching up and down like a boat in the water. He heard a loud noise which came from behind him. There was no conversation between anyone in the helicopter, and he did not hear any alarms over the headset. The helicopter started spinning, collided with a tree, hit the ground, and came to rest on its right side. A witness stated he observed the helicopter traveling westbound before it stopped and came to a hover estimated between 100 feet to 500 feet east of highway 1792. The helicopter pitched slightly nose down and forward. The nose was observed to pitch nose high and the helicopter started to hover backwards. The nose yawed to the right and back to the left, and then started spinning to the right descending with the nose pitching up an down before the helicopter disappeared from view behind a tree line. Other witnesses also observed the helicopter traveling westbound in the vicinity of highway 1792. The helicopter stopped, came to a hover, hovered backwards, the nose dropped down and the helicopter began spinning to the right and disappeared from view below the tree line.PERSONNEL INFORMATION Review of the pilot's logbook revealed the pilot had recorded 382.7 total rotary wing flight hours of which 286.8 hours were as pilot-in-command (PIC). He had recorded as logged 221.5 hours in the Bell 206 of which l94.5 hours were as the PIC. Review of records on file with the FAA Information Management Section, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, revealed the pilot recorded on his application for a second class medical certificate on November 2, 1995, that he had 1,275 total civilian flight hours. Review of an aircraft insurance quote on June 13, 1995, revealed the pilot had 1900 total flight hours with 207 hours in the Bell 206. Review of an application for aircraft insurance on September 30, 1995, indicated the pilot had accumulated 1,970 hours, 718 rotorcraft hours with 220 hours in the Bell 206. The pilot called Alexander Aviation Associates Inc, Orlando, Florida, about 2 hours before the accident requesting liability insurance coverage for N61PP. The pilot indicated he had 2,010 total flight hours with 260 hours in the Bell 206. Review of training records on file at Bell Helicopter, indicate the pilot attended off site recurrency training on January 13, 1993. The pilot indicated he had 105 helicopter hours, had flown 20 helicopter hours in the last 6 months of which 50 hours were flown in the Bell 206. The instructor indicated in the remarks, "Owns the company. Low time helicopter pilot. Stuck to the basics. Showed how to do autos to a spot. Nice technique in autos, but still a little hesitant. Needs more 206 time. No problems at his level." The pilot attended 206B refresher training at the Bell Helicopter Training Academy from November 8, 1993, through November 12, 1993. The pilot indicated on the registration form that he had 210 total helicopter flight hours with a 150 hours in the Bell 206. The pilot received 6.6 hours of dual instruction. The instructor stated in the remarks that, "Pat performs all maneuvers very well for his hour level. Commercial pilot maneuvers were weak and instruction had been sporadic but passable at this level. Recommend emergency procedures recurrency with John Ball before departure. Safe and competent." The pilot attended off site training in Orlando, Florida, from February 20, 1995, through February 21, 1995, and flew 1 hour of dual instruction. The instructor stated in the remarks, "safe in all maneuvers-weak! Recommend refresher in 12 mos." The pilot stated in an interview that the last time he flew the helicopter before the accident was November 1, 1996, and that he could not remember any of the events after he departed on the photography flight. He further stated that he had not received any instruction in the loss of tailrotor effectiveness or uncommanded left or right yaw. He was not aware of the conditions required for this phenomenon to occur or what corrective action should be taken. When asked if he had received a copy of FAA Advisory Circular 90-95, unanticipated right yaw in helicopters, he stated no.AIRCRAFT INFORMATION Review of the helicopter logbook revealed the last recorded annual inspection was conducted on November 1, 1996, and the helicopter had accumulated 7219.2 hours. The hour meter was destroyed, and no additional records were located to indicate time flown since the annual inspection. Review of refueling records on file at Executive Air Center Inc., revealed that N61PP had 30 gallons of fuel added on November 1, 1996. According to the airframe inspector who signed off the last annual inspection, the 30 gallons of fuel was added to the helicopter after he tracked the main rotor blades which brought the total fuel quantity to 50 gallons. The helicopter was flown by the owner back to the east ramp of the airport. Numerous engine run-ups were conducted by the owner, but the helicopter has not been flown since the annual inspection.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident Review of weather information obtained from Orlando Executive Airport, for the time period of the accident, revealed the winds were 070 degree at 15 knots. A controller at Orlando Executive Control Tower stated the winds were out of the northeast between 5 to 20 knots with gusts when N61PP took off VFR northbound. A television helicopter pilot who responded to the crash site in a Bell 206 helicopter stated he hovered his helicopter east bound into the wind. The wind was described as stiff with gusts. WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATION The wreckage of N61PP was located in the in the backyard of a private residence located at 1451 Norfolk, Winter Park, Florida. Examination of the crashsite revealed the helicopter collided with a tree about 60 feet above the base of the tree while rotating around its vertical axis to the right in a nose-down attitude. The tailboom separated about 6 inches forward of the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer, in a downward direction. There was no evidence of either a main rotor or tail rotor impact with the tailboom, and the 90-degree gearbox was inplace. The right horizontal stabilizer was not damaged. The left horizontal stabilizer sustained extensive impact damage and tree bark was imbedded in the outboard end of the stabilizer. The vertical stabilizer sustained minor damage. The helicopter collided with the ground in a nose-down attitude, and came to rest on its right side on a heading of 135 degrees magnetic. The high skid landing gear remained attached to the airframe, and was removed by crash rescue personnel. The cross tubes remained in position and there was no evidence of lateral shift. The right flight step was bent up and out, and the aft cross tube mount was separated. The right skid tube tip separated forward of the forward cross tube ankle. The center section of the right skid tube between the ankles was broken in two pieces, and the skid heel remained attached to the rear ankle. The left flight step separated, but the remainder of the step remained attached to the cross tubes. The left skid tow, forward of the ankle separated with the remainder of the skid tube attached to the aft ankle. The fuel system was not ruptured, however fuel exited the fuel system through the fuel vent. Browning of vegetation was present in the vicinity of the fuel vent. The crash debris line extended 40 feet from the main wreckage on a heading of 240 degrees magnetic. Examination of the main rotor system and tailrotor system revealed no evidence to indicate a precrash mechanical failure or malfunction. The main rotor blades and tail rotor blades were not marked in accordance with the Bell Helicopter Maintenance Manual. For identification purposes all blades were marked "WHITE" or "RED" followed by the appropriate serial number. The "WHITE" main rotor blade spar (SN: T-21215), separated in two sections. The blade tip failed downward 4 feet 8 inches inboard from the blade tip, and was located 40 feet from the main wreckage. The second spar separation occurred outboard of the doubler stack in an upward direction. The intermediate section of the blade remained attached to the root end by the trailing edge spline. Chordwise scarring was present on the bottom of the rotor blade, and no leading edge damage was noted. The "RED" main rotor blade spar (SN: T-20275), separated at the outboard end of the doubler stack in an upward direction. The remainder of the rotor blade remained attached to the root end by the trailing edge spline. Chordwise scarring was located on the bottom of the rotor blade, and no leading edge damage was noted. The outboard 3 feet of the trailing edge was crushed inward toward the leading edge. The "WHITE" tail rotor blade (SN: TAC-3679), had a dent about 1 inch in length on the leading edge inboard surface. The tail rotor blade was buckled about 1 foot from the blade tip, with the leading edge bent aft. The "RED" tail rotor blade (SN: CS-665) was not damaged. Examination of the airframe and flight control assembly revealed no evidence of a precrash mechanical failure or malfunction. All components necessary for flight were present at the crash site. Continuity of the flight control system was confirmed for pitch, roll, and yaw. Examination of the main transmission, engine to transmission driveshaft, overrunning clutch, tailrotor transmission, and chip detectors revealed no evidence of any precrash mechanical failure or malfunction. The engine assembly and accessories were removed and transported to an authorized repair facility in Miami, Florida, for further analysis. Disassembly of the engine and accessories revealed no evidence of a precrash mechanical failure or malfunction. No engine data plate was installed on the engine. MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION The pilot sustained a closed head injury with right frontal contusion, subarachnoid hemorage, pheumocephalus, left optical contusion, left traumatic optic neuropathy, respiratory failure, and multiple facial fractures. Toxicology studies of specimens from the pilot were performed by the Orlando Regional Healthcare System, Orlando, Florida. These studies were negative for drugs and alcohol.TEST AND RESEARCH Advisory Circular 90-95 states, "LTE is a critical, low-speed aerodynamic flight characteristic which can result in an uncommanded rapid yaw rate which does not subside of its own accord and, if not corrected, can result in the loss of aircraft control. LTE is not related to a maintenance malfunction and may occur in varying degrees in all single main rotor helicopters at airspeeds less than 30 knots. LTE is not necessarily the result of a control margin deficiency....Any maneuver which requires the pilot to operate in a high-power, low airspeed environment with a left crosswind or tailwind creates an environment where unanticipated right yaw may occur....The aircraft characteristics and relative wind azimuth regions are:... Weathercock stability (120 degrees to 240 degrees). (See figure 2.) Tailwinds from 120 degrees to 240 degrees, like left crosswinds, will cause a high pilot workload. The most significant characteristic of tailwinds is that they are a yaw rate accelerator. Winds within this region will attempt to weathervane the nose of the aircraft into the relative wind. This characteristic comes from the fuselage and vertical fin. The helicopter will make a slow uncommanded turn either to the right or left depending upon the exact wind direction unless a resisting pedal input is made. If a yaw rate has been established in either direction, it will be accelerated in the same direction when the relative winds enter the 120 to 240-degree area unless corrective pedal action is made. If the pilot allows a right yaw rate to develop and the tail of the helicopter moves into this region, the yaw can accelerate rapidly. It is imperative that the pilot maintain positive control of the yaw rate and devote full attention to flying the aircraft when operating in a downwind condition. Review of the Bell Jet Ranger II, model 206B flight manual revealed no written procedures pertaining to loss of tail rotor effectiveness or unanticipated right yaw phenomenon.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The certified flight instructor (CFI) who administered the pilot's last biennial flight review on January 31, 1996, stated in an interview, that he discussed LTE/unanticipated right yaw and critical wind azimuth utilizing AVN-460 U.S. Department of Transportation, FAA handout with the pilot, however Appendix 1. Sample Flight Review Plan And Checklist signed and dated by the CFI and the pilot does not support the CFI's statement. The wreckage of N61PP was released to Mr. Mark J. Fry, Links Automotive Inc., Orlando, Florida, on May 24, 1997. The engine assembly and accessories was released to Mr. Steven E. Milburn, Airwork Miami, on May 27, 1997. The helicopter logbooks were released to Mr. James P. Perrott, son of the injured pilot, on May 29, 1997. The pilot's logbooks were released to Mr. Patrick E. Perrott, on August 26, 1997.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Have you ever been pulled in so many directions, so many obligations, invitations, and commitments that you are unable to give any of them their haqq (due)? You run late for events because you were too busy juggling three projects while making cupcakes from scratch, all so people will think you are 'so nice'. You are often snappy with your own parents because you are so exhausted from doing all the work so that you do not disappoint your MSA brothers. Maybe your intent initially was to please Allah when you started doing the work but somewhere along the way, a darkness crept into your heart and you didn't even realize it. The Giving Mother, Wife, Friend She stood in the hot kitchen wrapped in her niqab while her brothers-in-law and their friends sat at the dining table, painstakingly making another round of tamales for them. Her back ached and she knew she would miss her online Qur'an tajweed class but she kept telling herself that they only come over sometimes and she wanted them to think that she was a nice sister-in-law. It is essential to be a good host to our guests but are there times when we are setting up other people as ilah alongside Allah? Do you find yourself hurrying through your salahs or missing your daily dhikr so that you can help a friend decorate for her sister's wedding or help a brother find a great deal on a car? Here, you pleased your friend but displeased your Lord. The Overworked Volunteer He knew he was exhausted but the task needed to be done and since it was the Fundraising Committee head who had asked him, he said yes, knowing that it will mean another sleepless night for him. Do you always say yes to every event that happens at the masjid? Are you the person who is always working? Everyone else bailed out, so who steps in? You do. Why do you do it? Is it because you want everyone to like you? Or maybe you start liking being known as the person who is ever ready to do work for the deen? Being Too Nice To Say No When volunteering becomes your life, you start enjoying the praise, the admiration. One way to check if you suffer from this disease is if or when you are replaced, do you feel resentment? If you do, then know that your intention was not to serve Allāh or to please Him but to please others and to feed your own ego. We are just not that indispensable to Allah – His work will get done. If your efforts for the deen are taking away from your efforts for Allah (i.e. you are missing your salah or not making du'a about the work that you are doing) then there is definitely an issue. If you ever start thinking that because you do so much, you are irreplaceable, you definitely have a problem. Know that you are addicted to the something other than God. Is the legacy you want to leave behind that you were "Masha'Allah, such a nice person"? There is no word for nice in the Arabic language – the closest translation is lateef, which means to be kind, gentle, and aware of feelings but NOT nice. Definition for the word "nice": socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous pleasant or pleasing or agreeable in nature or appearance, exhibiting courtesy and politeness. So what's wrong with being nice? Just like with anything taken to the extreme, being too nice can hurt you when people take advantage of you and use you because you are too nice to say "NO". Rasulullah said, "He who displeased Allah for seeking the pleasure of people, Allah is displeased with him and those people are also displeased, for pleasing whom he had earned Allah's displeasure. And he who pleases Allah, although by it he displeased people, Allah is pleased with him, and also those people whom he had displeased for pleasing Allah become pleased with him. Allah makes him splendid and his speech and acts in the eyes of others beautiful." [Tabarani] This hadith is usually discussed in the context of things that are clearly haram or borderline questionable that we may do to please our boss, parents, spouse, society etc. Here, I am talking about those people who are not doing anything forbidden but are overburdening themselves and are hindering themselves from greater deeds because they cannot say no. Are you a people-pleaser? Do you believe that others' needs must come before your own (these are not valid needs like food or shelter but are the extra things that we do)? Do you identify with the following statements? I often do more for other people and often let myself be used so I won't be rejected for other reasons. I often do a lot for other people because I don't want to let them down even when I know that their demands are excessive and or unreasonable. I always think of others, especially at the expense of my own health (especially mental health). I often hear people who really care about me tell me, "Learn to say, 'No.' You need to stand up for yourself. You are too nice." Some of the most common people pleasing behaviors: Putting others' needs before yours. Keeping your opinion to yourself because you think it will upset others. Saying yes to every request. Feeling guilty when you say no. Feeling selfish when you do something for yourself. Suppressing emotions because you fear that if you express then you will upset others. Feeling that you have no control over your life. Avoiding confrontation. Going out of your way to appease others. Feeling crushed by criticism and disapproval. Thinking that it is your Islamic duty to please others. If you identified with the above statements and exhibit the common people pleasing behaviors, then you are a people pleaser. Some may ask: "What's wrong in being a people pleaser? Shouldn't we live our lives on earth trying to make people happy?" Think again. What is the purpose of your life? Does Allah want us to be people pleasers? Or is our maqsad (purpose) in life to please Allah ? If in the course of making Allah happy you are also pleasing people, then it is acceptable, but if you just spent 5 hours cooking food for someone else's party and then spent 30 minutes complaining about it to your best friend, then the net result is an exhausted body and a depleted soul. The most destructive among the above common people pleasing behaviors is feeling selfish when you do something for yourself. Mothers tend to do this a lot. We are willing to spend hours cheering for our children's soccer games but will feel guilty for slipping out to spend an hour on the treadmill. Many of us will spend hours organizing our husband's closets but feel guilty going to a halaqah for an hour. We slave away at these relationships, avoiding all conflict and all negative emotions, but they are simmering inside us and will eventually lead to stress and health problems. If you keep continuing in this way, then you will either burst with hostility at some point or will fall into depression. We put a lot of effort in pleasing others, we think we are fulfilling their rights and then we compromise. We need to understand that if we please Allah, everyone else will be eventually be automatically pleased with us. Many self-help books don't look at the spiritual aspect of this behavior. I am not saying that all people pleasing behavior is wrong. Indeed we are told: "And do not forget to do good to one another." (2:237) 'Abdullah b. 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection." And remember how the Prophet was pleased with the man who baked bread for his companions while on a journey. Really ask yourself: Why do you do the things that you do? Correct your niyyah at every step. Do what you do solely for the sake of Allah. If you feel like doing it to earn His Pleasure and not for anyone else then alhamdulillah you are on the right track. Memorize this du`a for Riyaa taught to us by the Prophet and recite it often: "Allahumma innaa na'udhu bika an-nushrika bika shay'an na'lamuhu, wa nastagfiruka limaa laa na'lamuh. [O Allah, we seek refuge in you from committing shirk knowingly, and ask your forgiveness for (the shirk that we may commit unknowingly]."

Whatever happened to the terms and teachings about sacrifice and tolerance. 0 0 Reply Hena Zuberi October 18, 2012 Assalam alaykum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatahu Br. Kasim, JazakAllah khayr for making that constructive criticism. You are not a people-pleaser, see people who suffer from this disease would have had a hard time responding in the negative to anything even a stranger's blog post because they would have want the author to like them EVEN though they don't even know them, because they are so scared of rejection. You are absolutely right most of our ummah needs to read about sacrifice and tolerance but this post is addressing people-pleasers. If you answered no to most of the tell tale signs that you do not suffer from this disease of the heart, Alhamdulillah. Trust me as a recovering people pleaser, I can testify it can kill your soul and I know many people who suffer from the it and each of their issues may be different but the crux of the matter comes down to the need to please others. You destroy your boundaries, try to have a different persona depending on who is around, make yourself into a hypocrite. Be gentle, be kind, be thoughtful, be respectful and honorable, be authentic, do ihsan and ikram, be amazing but don't always try to be 'nice' and do it only for Allah not for anyone else. 0 0 Reply umm_ismael October 12, 2012 Asslam ualaikum wr wb- very beneficial jk. I am a little confused though- In relationships there are givers and takers- should one not be on the giving side? Next question- small children disrupt ibadah and daily acts of worship- how does one become selfish in that 0 0 Reply Hena Zuberi October 18, 2012 Assalam alaykum Sis, Bismillah Yes, in every relationship there should be giver and takers and we should be able to play both roles. It is not a balanced relationship if one person, man or woman, volunteer or organization, mother or child is always giving without any reciprocation. We teach people how to treat us, we show them what is acceptable to us and what is not. However, if you have reached that level of wisdom that you do everything for Allah sake and expect nothing from anyone except HIm then Alhamdulilah but unfortunately many of us have not reached that level of spiritual development, we are weak and so are our spouses , children, friends, relatives, parents, communities. We need to get something back to keep going. #realtalk Organizations need to give feedback, recognition, motivation, promotions to its volunteers. That's a great question. Your raising of your children is ibadah if you make your niyyah everyday that I am raising this soul for the sake of Allah as He gave it to me in my custody to take care of, I do not own him/her, s/he is Allah's amanah and I am just taking care of it. This will greatly change your way of parenting, you will not see them as interruption as they are masoom, even their interruptions could not occur without Allah's permission. Take care of their needs and come back to your salah. Take care of your ibadah when they are sleeping or busy with something. Plan out an activity for them while you are praying. Dhikr or Quran is easy to do even while nursing or holding your child( I dont know you children's ages so excuse me if they are older). You can also make them pray with you so it is natural for them to be a part of your worship. I hope that helped anything beneficail I said is from Allah swt and if I said anything wrong it is from my own nafs. 0 0 Reply Umm Ibraheem October 12, 2012 As long as our intention is correct, helping people is a means to get closer to Allah.

It never ends for her, she is constant all the time saying yes to yet another request and that rescheduled Qur'an class never happens! Believe me sister it is a disease and until one recognizes and tries to fix themselves or they will burn up all their deeds in gheebah, keenah or hypocrisy and stand empty handed in front of Allah swt on the Day of Reckoning.

I think what helps to make sure that not just one person takes on most of the responsibilities within an organization, is to actively delegate responsibilities towards others, especially if they have certain skills that can be useful towards those responsibilities. So for example, even if your organization has board members, it's good to ask the wider community for help in taking on smaller responsibilities so that board members don't feel unnecessarily overburdened. Also I would like to add to your post that no one should take on responsibilities that they know they can't handle. For example, if you know you're not good at accounting, don't become a treasurer for an organization, even if no one else is available to take it on. Also try to always keep time available for yourself and your family. I know that sometimes for mothers who homeschool, we may organize too many activities for each other, that take time away from us making time for just ourselves, our husbands and kids (and other relatives if we live nearby them like parents, brothers/sisters, etc). 0 0 Reply Hena Zuberi October 18, 2012 Assalam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu Sister, YOur comments are always a great addition to the site, MAshaAllah. Jazakillah Khayr for making those points. Indeed our masajids and other non-profits have severe issues. We should all be doing these roles with the most ihsan even more than the jobs we are paid for since we are doing it for Allah, but ihsan means doing it in the best way and if we aren't qualified that not the best way is it- Please check out Muslim Strategic Initiative, a great site on way to help run Muslim organization in the best way possible. Generally for daees and volunteers: Our bodies, our spouses, our homes all have rights over us and if the da'wah effort is sucking up all our energy until we have none left for the other important things in our lives. that can lead to trouble. Keep the balance. I know many daees whose own children are neglected while they are seen at every masjid fundraiser or at every jawla. 0 0 Reply RCHOUDH October 19, 2012 Jazakillah ul khair for letting me know about the initiative, I'll be sure to check it out Insha'Allah. 1 0 Ismail Kamdar October 14, 2012 Jazakallah Khair for this important reminder, I find myself falling into this trap too often.

Mothers tend to do this a lot. We are willing to spend hours cheering for our children's soccer games but will feel guilty for slipping out to spend an hour on the treadmill." The idea behind your article is to point out the absurdity of extra-meticulous details in everything we do (for others usually). These details consume most of our time, attention and energy, they overburden us and thus become a source of hindering us from GREATER DEEDS or acts of Ibadah. But the lines quoted above do not refer to any greater deed rather it may lead the reader into SELF PITY esp. the women in their roles as mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. This same thought / idea lead to the concept and movement of "Women Emancipation" in the west i.e. their liberation from religious, legal, economic, and sexual oppression / bondings and their escape from narrow gender roles. The sunnah of Rasul Allah s.a.w is the most moderate and desirable for us all (men & women): "I asked 'Aisha r.a. what did the Prophet use to do at home. She replied. "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer." (Bukhari) …..no self pity involved in Rasul Allah s.a.w's example. He s.a.w gave rights of people when it was time to do so and gave rights of The Creator when it was time to do so. And while giving rights of people his s.a.w's niyah was to Please Allah SWT. ——————- secondly the lines quoted in the article: "I often hear people who really care about me tell me, "Learn to say, 'No.' You need to stand up for yourself. You are too nice." … again seem to clash with a hadith in which Rasul Allah s.a.w forbade a man who was chiding his Muslim brother for being over courteous and over nice all the time and Rasul Allah s.a.w. said that "الحیاء کلہ خیر" (roughly translated it means: Decency {courtesy} always brings goodness). If we try a little more intelligently, we can easily enhance our skills of time management, prioritizing & delegating tasks, multi-tasking, over coming extra doses of sleep, food, baseless talks (face to face or via phone or chat), or pursuits like window shopping, net surfing etc. This will surely help us save time, resources and energies to perform lots of Greater Deeds amongst which one is to bring comfort (big or small) to fellow Muslims. rest of the article seems superb and truly Allah SWT knows best Loads of duas for all Wassalaam 0 0 Reply Hafeez October 24, 2012 jazakAlaahu khair for the article especially the dua at the very end is very beneficial and important.

Best Shabu Shabu
- c
- CKOne Mar 7, 2006 12:26 PM
Taking my dad for the first time, shabu-tatsu in the EV is a standby, any other favorites?
re: Macaroon
I liked it, too. Here's a meal report:
I've passed Lan many times but never knew anything much about the place until tonight.
I was part of a party of four for dinner. We shared the following:
Simmered Berkshire Pork Cheek with potato puree
Organic Chicken & Scallions, Skewered & Grilled, with spicy yuzu pepper paste
Shabu - Shabu with Berkshire Pork Belly and Prime Rib Eye Beef
The pork cheek was deliciously smoky, very tender, and had apparently been marinated in a very tasty marinade. The chicken was very tender high-quality yakitori, and the paste had green chili in it. The shabu-shabu was again made with good meat, accompanied by various vegetables (Napa cabbage, shiitake slices, very good kombu, tofu, etc.) and we were given excellent sesame sauce and ponzu sauce for dipping.
Our dinner was thoroughly pleasant and at $30/person, a good value.
Debating between LAN, Shabu-Tatsu and Happy Shabu.
(1) Quality of meat -- not too fatty and VERY tender
(2) Fish options (if not for shabu, then in sushi) or lots of good vegetable options and maybe tofus for the one of us who doesn't eat meat.
(3) Dipping sauces/broth options
We really liked Swish when it first opened, but it has been a disaster for the past year, so we're hoping to find a new "regular" place to go to while we try to figure out where we could put our own shabu pot.
Shabu Shabu 70
314 E 70TH St Ste 1
New York, NY 10021-8623
(212) 861-5635
Directions: 6 at 68th St.
The environment here is clean and comfortable. They have the shabu shabu here and its been a neighborhood favorite for quite a while.
I like Quickly Shabu Shabu on grand street between chrystie and bowery. Everyone gets their own personal hot pot (no funky foreign ingredients in the broth from your friends and its more personal). You have a choice of the sichuan soup, japanese plain miso broth or kimchi broth. The sichuan and kimchi broth both uses the japanese plain dashi broth but for the sichuan you get spice cubes to throw into your broth and for the kimchi you get a bowl of kimchi on the side to throw in. For the main entree you have four choices: Assorted 2 meats $12.95, vegetarian $13.95, sliced prime beef $14.95, surf and turf (shrimp,fish,oysters). Veggies, noodles, fishballs and a tapioca slush drink is included. You would have to order one entree before you could order from the A la carte menu. They also have a condiments area where you can create various sauces without having to ask the waiter. Plus for those who likes to use a raw egg yolk into their dipping sauce or to boil, its unlimited here with no additional charge. Service was great, my pot of soup was constantly refilled so I never needed to ask.
re: Woodside Al
shabu shabu is the name for the Japanese version of hotpot but I think the Chinese had hotpot before as well as 70% of their culture.
re: designerboy01
True, but Chinese calling it by the Japanese name "shabu-shabu" and serving it as a "Japanese" dish in "shabu-shabu" restaurants, as is done in Taiwan and in Chinatown here in NYC, is quite recent.
But my point really was that the Chinese version served at "shabu-shabu" restaurants in Chinatown, as described in csw's post above, is rather different from the Japanese version talked about in the other posts on this thread. Japanese shabu-shabu generally features only beef, tofu, and vegetables (and some noodles to finish up).
re: Woodside Al
I've been to Shabu-Tatsu and aside for the differences in ambiance and cultural differences, it all comes down to raw meat, tofu and vegetables cooked in broth.. with noodles to finish it up exactly.
Quickly offers your own personal cooking pot, counter of unlimited eggs, sauces, and garnishes, plus its less expensive and equally satisfying. And not to forget it comes with a free tapioca/slush drink.
re: Woodside Al
If it makes you feel better, I just returned from Beijing where there are plenty of restaurants who have added a Chinese twist to the name - they call it Xiabu-Xiabu.
re: Woodside Al
I think those Chinese or I should say Taiwanese restaurants got the name Shabu Shabu because there are a lot of Japanese influences in Taiwan culture. Taiwan was once colonized by the Japanese. That is why you may see a Taiwanese Shabu Shabu restaurant.
I'm chinese and I've eaten different hotpots. We usually end up with noodles, and we have it with beef, squid, liver, seafood, and veggies. Other regions in Northern China have it with lamb. Some people finish it with dumplings instead of noodles. I've been to an upscale Cantonese restaurant and its done with sharks fin as a soup base, served with abalone, fried fish skins, and other exotic seafood. There is also the traditional hotpot from Empress Dowager Cixi where chrysanthemum flowers are put for the frangrance. The point I'm trying to get across is that there are many different types of hotpots in China and you can't just compare Japanese with Chinese like that. I'm also sure there are many different types of Japanese hotpots these days that are served.
re: csw
I'm a big fan of Quickly, as well. It is definitely Chinese Shabu Shabu, but it's pretty consistently good.
NYCnosh* http://nycnosh.com
i used to go to shabu tatsu on east tenth very often. but the last few times, it seemed like they were slicing the meat way ahead of time and keeping it frozen on the plate it's served on. or maybe they were just slicing it too thin... but the result was that the slices would stick to the platter and fall apart when you tried to pick them up, ending in a mush of beef on the chopstick. not so appetizing. anyone else notice this?
re: kersie
they definitely have it. i've had it there. they also have regular bbq and sukiyaki which i like as well. get the sirloin and the short ribs. i've found that the chicken takes forever to cook and always burns.
re: jon
Speaking of Yakiniku Juju - the review on Vindigo says, "...you descend steps to a subterranean doorway. Then you pass through a low, narrow hallway, up a spiral staircase and, finally, into a small dining room of booths, each outfitted with a gas-powered grill (and a fire extinguisher)."
This place sounds to me like a somewhat claustrophobia-inducing fire trap, which is what keeps me from giving it a try. Is Vindigo's description right-on or might it possibly be at all exaggerated?
re: Deenso
id say it's not as bad as it says. yes you go downstairs, then down a hallway and up a spiral staircase, but once you're upstairs, there is a fairly big dining room. if you are more than 4 people, they'll seat you in a huge table with 2 grills and they'll make you take your shoes off. it's very home-y and although the service is always just ok, mainly because i don't speak their language, it's still a fun place to go (and certainly less of a scene/crowded then yakiniku west on 9th street).
re: Deenso
I had an unpleasant service experience at Yakiniku Juju. I went with a friend. I ordered the beef bbq $25 option and she was going to order the seafood option. They apparently only want people at the same table to order the same thing as they are very concerned that you will be sharing the food. We ended up walking out as they made such a huge stink about it. My friend's diet is limited to veg and seafood anyways. As much as I wanted to try this place, I've been turned off by that sour experience.
As for the setting, it is a bit claustrophic just getting inside, but once you're upstairs into the dining room, it's nice enough.
im a huge shabu shabu fan (at one point in my life, i thought i could eat shabu shabu everyday for the rest of my life) and tried many places. and one thing that's true for me is that "extra marbled" shabu shabu meat tastes much better than extra lean or regular. the fat in a very thinly sliced beef (and it must be sliced paper thin!!) makes it so much yummier. therefore, at most shabu shabu places in new york, i've found the meat to be rather too lean, and i prefer to make it on my own with the meat bought at a korean or japanese butcher shop.
it's actually very easy to make it at home (you do need the portable stove and a hot pot), and to be honest, the best shabu shabu i've ever had has been home made (not by me =( ).
i went to quickly a couple of months ago and had a pretty bad experience. for chinese hot pot (as opposed to japanese shabu shabu), i prefer happy shabu on canal and orchard. their sauce station is far superior with more ingredients than quickly. altho quickly has unlimited eggs, it was missing rice vinegar, white pepper, and a few other sauces among other things. the main sauce (i think its called sa cha?) was not refilled and there was no oil in it, making it hard to mix with anything else. quickly DOES give you more different things with your meal, that would cost more at happy, like udon (which is $1 for a big plate at happy) but there's like a $4 difference in price. yes, you get the free drink, but the waiter brought ours 2/3 through our meal, and after we asked him 3 times. the orders were wrong too, but we were too tired to tell him. everything we asked for, including water, took more than 30 minutes to come out, and he just seemed annoyed to be serving us. the bus boy, on the other hand, who was not chinese, latino i think, was very helpful and understood english much better. we wanted to give him all our tip. i was with chinese speaking friends and the waiter still seemed confused, or just didn't care. my friends liked their meal, but everyone agreed they wouldn't return b/c of the horribly poor service. also, i ordered dumplings, expecting the wontons i get at happy. they were not so. weird fish cake things that tasted terrible. one thing i did like about quickly was their choice of broths, i got kimchi, which was quite nice. my friends complained the szechuan spicy broth was not spicy at all. i think it was more like a boullion cube.
as for japanese shabu shabu, i prefer lan over shabu tatsu. but you can't beat the after midnight half price special at shabu tatsu on the weekends. depending on the waiter at both places, its sort of annoying that they won't do ojia at the end sometimes, which is a very traditional way to end a japanese shabu shabu meal. nothing beats a good home made shabu though.
korean korean, i've found the shabu shabu cut beef at korean and japanese markets to be fairly expensive. it almost makes the cost of the meal (after buying the 2 sauces) just as expensive, if not more, as eating out. do you have a special place you buy meat for a good price?
re: jungirl
yes, buying shabu shabu meat at a market is not cheap. in fact, i think it can cost just as much to make it on your own as it would to eat at a restaurant. plus, most places, like han-ah-reum market, has really horrible quality meat that's sliced thick and not at all shabu quality. however, if you can find the right butcher who knows to cut very thinly and with some marble in the meat, i find that making it at home actually tastes better than at lan or shabu tatsu or some places places i've tried. cuz, after all, shabu shabu is basically good meat in hot water, and all the sauces are really easy to make, and the veggies you just need to wash and set.
in NY/NJ, i found most korean markets to be not too good for shabu shabu meat, and even mitsuwa market kinda is horrible. but at this one market called "Good Harvest" (?) in Fort Lee, they have really good shabu shabu meat. i haven't tried smaller butchers in queens but i heard that they can be good too.
if you ever get a chance to go out to LA, try "gyushintei" in torrance for their fabulous extra marbled beef shabu shabu.
making the sauces is very easy and cheap. to make the lemon soy sauce, you just need to buy the lemon soy sauce (ha!) at any korean/japanese market (kikoman brand) and buy a radish that you will grate yourself using one of those japanese grating thingies (it's like $2.99 at the home section; it looks like a wide paddle with lil holes). just add the grated radish to the sauce, add the japanese red pepper if you wish.
i don't like the peanut sauce too much so i don't know how to make that, but i'm sure you can google it also.
and don't forget to add noodles at the end of the shabu meal to make noodle soup. add salt + pepper for the 'refreshing' aftertaste.
My take on the best shabu shabu in new york city is Quickly. I love their variety in broths, ingredients, as well as sauces. They also have a great drink selection that comes complimentary with your meal.
To give you some context, I'm not such a fan of Japanese Shabu Shabu, as they are typically bland and limited in sauces. The meat quality at the Japanese places I have been to (Shabu Tatsu, Shaburi, and Shabu Shabu 70) have all been quite good, however the Chinese places have always had more flavor in their broths and sauces.
re: tonkatsuuu
Wow.. sounds like a good idea to get this type of food in winter time (or any time!). Speaking of Quickly, do you know what variety of broths they have? I walk past it all the time but never get a good opportunity to eat there. I should check it out next time I am in that area.
re: bearmi
OK I am a newbie to Shabu Shabu so I have a stupid question: do they also do this at Vietnamese restaurants? I was at a Vietnamese restaurant (Pho 32 on W. 32nd St.) and they appeared to be cooking their own food from hot pots. We are going to be in NYC again soon (I am from Philly) and my wife wants to try this but at a Vietnamese restaurant. Any thoughts? Recommendations? Should we go back to Pho 32? Thanks for helping the novice.....
re: Schpsychman
I have been to Pho 32 many times and ordered Shabu Shabu/Hot Pot there. I like their food but I am not 100% sure if their Shabu Shabu is "authentic Vietnamese". Although Pho32 is a Vietnamese restuarant, I think it might be more or less Korean-influenced because their food seems to be more "fusion" Vietnamese than the ones you find in traditional Vietnamese restaurants. From my limited knowledge about Vietnamese cuisine, I believe people in Vietnam do eat Hot Pot but their version of Hot Pot is different than the ones served at Pho 32. I consider Pho 32's version more "Japanese" (i.e.with plain broth) rather than "Vietnamese", which sometimes contains a sour/vinegary broth.
I have not seen people order Hot Pot at Vietnamese restaurants in NYC before (at least not the ones in Chinatown) but perhaps other folks here would know better. However, I remember seeing someone ordering Hot Pot/Shabu Shabu at a Vietnamese restaurant in California years ago. I also think you might have to try Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC to check out authentic Vietnamese Shabu Shabu dishes there.
From what I know, Vietnamese Shabu Shabu/Fondue dishes are sometimes part of "Bo Bay Mon" (Vietnamese "Beef Seven Ways"). There is a description of Vietnamese Shabu Shabu/Fondue in the link below. Looking at the article, I would conclude that Shabu Shabu from Pho32 would be different from the authentic Vietnamese version.
Nontheless, I think Pho32 serves a descent shabu shabu. It is not as premium as some of the Japanese places and there probably aren't as many ingredients/sauce/broth varieties as Chinese places such as Quickly (I have yet to visit). But every time I go, the food was always fresh at Pho 32 and the service was descent.
Hope this helps.
re: bearmi
I went to Pho32 last night, and thought their Shabu Shabu was quite good, especially for what it is. For $19, the portion size was so large, my friend and I shared one together. The dishes aren't anything spectacular but the ingredients are fresh, the broth is well flavored, and there are little Korean twists (e.g., hand-made flour noodles, spicy soy sauce and scallion mix).
re: Schpsychman
I've been to Pho 32, however, I do not recommend their shabu shabu. It's overpriced for the small portions. And, they dont have an extensive sauce selection.
I've never seen Shabu Shabu served at a real Vietnamese restaurant.
Quickly = clean and modern (the way Taiwan and HK cafes actually are, not dirty like NYC chinatown), your own personal pot, lots of veggies, plus a complimentary bubble tea or mixed drink from the tea station. All for less than the price of going to any of the other spots mentioned where you have to share the pot. The food is authentic and fresh.
re: asianbun
wow.. another recommendation for Quickly.. I should really try to go there "quickly"! By the way, do you know what types of broth they have for the hot pot (plain, spicy, kimchee, etc.)? I tried to ask another person above but he/she hasn't answered my question yet.
P.S. I like your comment about the cafe being clean and modern.. haha :)
re: bearmi
Their broth selection includes a plain (japanese dashi style), ma la or szechuan (it's sort of a numbing type of spicy..chinese style), and then kimchi (korean style)
I personally recommend the szechan style, but be careful not to bite into the spices -- it can be quite unpleasant... the other favorite is the kimchi broth
also, they give free eggs! (if youre an egg person)
www.quicklyny.com is their website
re: tonkatsuuu
how are the portions? any all you can eat shabu shabu/hot pot options in manhattan? am aware of shanghai tide in flushing
re: Whatsgood
Portions are well sized for individual eaters although I usually share 3 sets amongst 4 people etc and get additional plates of things I like to eat, such as the fried chicken and the frozen tofu.
Its a small place, and there's always only 1 server in the basement level everytime I go so he's kinda vague/lost/hassled. But the food is fresh and good value, and definitely recommended!
An aside: I am actually looking for hotpot places with a big communal pot for Chinese New Year. Any recommendations?
re: xigua
Do you mind going to flushing? Or, do you want to stick with Chinatown?
Flushing has more options..
Happy Family (http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/...) (aka "Xiao Fei Yang" or "Little Lamb". Their broths are all herbal based. I especially like the "yuen yang" pot, which is spicy on one side and non-spicy on the other. The pot is about $20 bucks, but not enough for a lot of people, in which case you'll have to order a la carte. They also have an extensive drink selection.
Shanghai Tide. All you can eat hot-pot for about $24/person (I think that's including tip and tax). They also offer the half spicy/half non-spicy pot. Not herbal broth based. Also included in the all you can eat is fried dumplings, pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, and others.
Hotpot King (?). The restaurant replaced a karaoke place called Black Swan. It's also all you can eat hot pot. The pricing varies depending on when you go and if you get karaoke with that. They, too, offer all you can eat dumplings, soup dumplings, etc..
In flushing, I would recommend Happy Family because it seems the cleanest of the three and I like the herbal broth. Although, Shanghai Tide has some really good soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings.
In Chinatown..
Grand Sichuan. It's around Canal and Christie St by the Manhattan bridge. I don't recommend this place because I feel like they put MSG in their broth.
re: tonkatsuuu
Has anyone tried Shabu Shabu 70 on the UES? I am coming in from Philly in mid-February and my wife and I want to try Shabu Shabu at a restuarant with a nice atmosphere, not necessarily one that looks like a cafeteria. Some of the places mentioned in this thread are very expensive Japanese restaurants and what I am looking for is fairly inexpensive and very tasty Shabu is a nicer atmosphere. Make sense? Any thoughts? Thanks!
re: Schpsychman
This is actually the only one in NY I've been to! Bland decor but good food. It's not a shabu place with the built-in ovens, rather than bring over a burner and put it on there tableside, plugging it in. I don't know if that turns you off from the food - it was kinda cheesy but gets the shabu done.
re: tonkatsuuu
I like Happy Family too. Their broths were very flavorful! I especially like the non-spicy one. I remember they had really good BBQ lamb skewers too... they were cumin-flavored. What do you think of Mini's Hot Pot (it's called "Yahoo Hot Pot" in Chinese)? I used to like it but then I noticed their portion size (especially meat) gets smaller and smaller... although the price is still pretty low... around $10 or $12 for a meal.
tonkatsuuu, other than Grand Sichuan and Quickly, are you aware of any other hot pot places in Manhattan Chinatown? I think Happy Shabu Shabu has closed down. Years ago I thought there was a BBQ/Hot Pot place there called "Yi Bai Ban"(for some reason I thought it's affiliated with XO Kitchen but I am kind of fuzzy about that) but I haven't seen any advertisement about it lately.
re: tonkatsuuu
Thanks for the update. Glad you came to my rescue :) I will have to check out their website and I will probably go there next time I am in Chinatown! I like the options you have mentioned. Sounds yummy!!

Sorry for the absence folks, it has been a hectic couple of weeks. Anyway, now it's time to hit areas of need for Miami in the draft.
Currently Miami has 6 receivers on the roster, but that number will more than likely go up and down between now and the draft, but currently the 6 are Ted Ginn, Greg Camafreakinrillo, Davone Bess, Brandon London, Ernest Wilford, Anthony Armstrong and Todd Lowber. Now it's a not a given that any of these guys are back, and I have been one that felt Ginn would be moved, but I think his cap hit will be too large if Miami wants to move him for the value they may get back. I do think Wilford is gone and Lowber and Armstrong are more than likely just camp spots.
So, going into free agency and the draft I believe the Trifecta will address the WR spots and Parcel's has said they need a playmaker on the offensive side of the ball.
Several mocks have Miami taking a receiver with the 25th pick, I am not sold on that, but it's a long way between now and draft day. Here is a look at a few of the guys that might be there at 25.
Percy Harvin – Florida, 5'11", 195 lbs, should run a sub 4.0 at the combine. Harvin is a playmaker and reminds me a lot of Steve Smith, but he has a tendency to get nicked up and unless Miami is moving Ginn, then I doubt they are looking at Harvin.
Hakeem Nicks – UNC, 6'1", 210 lbs, should run in the 4.5-4.6 range. He is a great route runner, with excellent hands and lead UNC in receptions the past three years while Brooks Foster and Brandon Tate got most of the headlines. I think Nicks timed speed will keep him from being a round 1 pick.
Darrius Heyward-Bey – Maryland, 6'2", 206 lbs, may run a sub 4.0 at the combine. I have mixed feelings on this guy. I have read where he just has straight line speed and struggles to get separation (sound familiar?), but I have watched him and haven't seen that as much as I read about it, but I have only see him play a handful of games as well. I have seen him make some very good catches and doesn't seem shy of going after the ball. I do not expect Miami to draft a WR in round 1.
Round 2
Kenny Britt – Rutgers, 6'4", 215 lbs, will run in the 4.5 range. Britt possibly could sneak into round one with a good combine and pro-day. He has excellent size and above average hands. He plays physical and will contribute in downfield run blocking. For a guy his size he has quick feet and is able to get separation and out of cuts quickly. I would love to see Britt there with Miami's first pick in round 2.
Brian Robiskie – Ohio State 6'3", 207 lbs, should run 4.4-4.5 in the 40. My first instinct is stay clear of Robiskie because we already have one questionable OSU receiver, but the fact is that is the only comparison that can be made of Robiskie and Ginn. Robiskie turned a lot of heads at the Senior Bowl with his route running, hands, and physical-ness.
Juaquin Inglesias – Oklahoma, 6-1, 204 lbs, should run in the 4.5 range. He is a tough as nails type receiver who will fight for the ball and yards. Doesn't have great speed, but has quick feet and doesn't have issues getting separation.
Day two guys
Mohamed Massaquoi – Georgia, 6'2", 210, 4.5 range. All the tools, needs to be more consistent.
Louis Murphy – Florida, 6'2", 205, 4.4 range. Needs to get more physical.
Brandon Tate – UNC, 6'1", 195, 4.5 range. Was having a good year until a torn ACL
Ramses Barden – Cal Poly, 6'6", 227 lbs, 4.6 range. He caught a lot of eyes ate the Senior Bowl.
Patrick Turner – USC, 6'5", 221 lbs, 4.6 range. He had a great Senior Bowl week and caught everything that came his way. He could be a mid to late round steal.
Aaron Kelly – Clemson, 6'5", 193 lbs, 4.6 range. @008 was a disaster at Clemson, he shows skills, but needs to get more physical.
Brooks Foster – UNC, 6'1", 204 lbs, 4.5 range. He could be a very solid mid to late round pick.
Darius Passmore – Marshall, 6'1", 186, 4.5 range. He will need to put on weight and get stronger, but has shown good skill and soft hands. He should be a late round or undrafted free agent sleeper.
DJ Boldin – Wake Forest, 5'11", 220 lbs 4.6 range. I know most know I love this guy. Yes he is Anquan's little brother and not as heralded as big bro, but just watch him play. He reminds me a lot of his brother and of Hines Ward. His problem is he played for Wake, a school that just didn't throw the ball. I am hoping Miami can get him late or as an undrafted free agent. I just think he has what it takes to make it in the NFL.
Well there you have it folks. I know there were many I left off the list, so please let me hear your thoughts.

It's Tennessee Week, and we're kicking it off by posting one of the all-time favorite videos among the Crimson Tide faithful.
We're also bringing back some oldies from the BamaHammer vaults, and giving you a chance to read it with fresh eyes.
Here's a list of things Tennessee has ruined for us, and a field guide to spotting Tennessee fans in the wild.
Get your hate on, people; it's Tennessee Week.

I've been getting alot of numbness in the top of my hand and thumb, also weakness like with picking up a coffee cup or holding something relatively light...my hand will shake. It all began afew days after a intense session of grip work...the day after I noticed the numbness, then several days after the weakness began as well. I have a appt with a chiro but is there anything in the meantime i should be doing? When I massage my forearm it actually created some pain that was pretty substantial in the muscle so I have stopped doing that.
