Asian Pearl or Koi Palace (or???) for midweek, late morning dim sum before flying out of SFO?
- c oliver Oct 23, 2012 05:56 PM
Usually when we're in the city, we're either in the avenues or Chinatown for dim sum. This time (two weeks from now) we're staying in the airport area the night before our flight which doesn't depart til midafternoon. It's an 11 hour international flight to Frankfort (and on to Barcelona!) so I'm thinking late morning dim sum prior to heading to the airport will fill us full of good food and tide us over til dinner. I've seen plenty of love here for Koi Palace and was set on that. But a CH friend of mine said he's heard that Asian Pearl is as good and for a lot less money. Any thoughts on the two or any other places as good or better? I know that "best dim sum" is a slippery slope but thought I'd ask anyway. To let you know our comfort level, we never go to Yank Sing because I believe that the same quality can be had for a lot, lot less money. The last few years we've been going to House of Banquet on Clement which we love. Any thoughts/opinions will be appreciated. TIA.
I don't know Asian Pearl. The Kitchen in Millbrae is pretty good for dim sum. Great quality, tasty dim sum selection.
haven't been to Asian Pearl, but you can't go wrong with KP. And I don't recall the prices being as extreme as Yank Sing.
Asian Pearl is quite good, but not all that much less expensive than KP (unless you will be ordering seafood). Certainly much closer to the airport too.
re: c oliver
Koi Palace has both.
KP has broader menu offerings. Not a huge difference in price. AP is much closer to SFO. My memory is foggy, but I think AP has carts as well as a menu. Both are good.
re: Robert Lauriston
Oh, I definitely get the same quality. So why spend multiples more than is necessary by going to Yank Sing? I'm inclined to stick with my CH friend's rec of Asian Pearl. Have you been there? We're staying at a hotel near SFO and leaving our car and taking their shuttle. AP is a straight shot there and back. Just a little easier than KP.
re: c oliver
If you don't have a car, Asian Pearl makes more sense than Hung To.
re: Robert Lauriston
Sorry, I wasn't clear. We're doing a park-sleep-fly so we'll have our car til time to go to the airport.
Just stumbled across this. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/695577
This is making me hungry for dim sum :) I won't be going in search of that in Barcelona!
re: c oliver
I went to Asian Pearl once and asked for some help choosing. There were 2 older male managers and one of them was not helpful AT ALL; the other one was very nice and tried to steer us in the right direction. (The women with the carts seemed to speak no English.) There was only one thing I really liked (can't remember what it was).
I've been to the Kitchen, pretty good, very close to the airport. My favorite is Yank Sing; I don't mind the higher prices and they take reservations.
re: walker
Hi, walker. Yank Sing isn't a possibility but thanks. I generally find that the cart ladies don't speak much English (hey, why should they?!?) but others do. And I ask other diners what they're eating and what they like.
A followup to my OP. We went to Asian Pearl in Millbrae and WALKED OUT after 20 minutes! Something I've never done at any Chinese restaurant. During that time we asked three times for tea which we never received. And were answered quite abruptly each time. I mean just how hard is it to serve a pot of generic tea? The one thing we ordered was chicken feet. They were ridiculously undercooked. And the check showed the $6+ version rather than the $3 version. We were ready to order more dishes but weren't graced with the presence of our server. Too busy not making tea, I suppose. We stopped at the front and explained our displeasure which didn't seem to bother them particularly and there was no mention of not charging us. At that point, neither of us was interested in causing a scene so we paid and left. The good news was that Bob had spotted a Mexican place a couple of blocks north where we had a really nice lunch.
I called my Chow friend, laughing rather maniacally about the 'incident.' He's still upset by it cause the AP is Sacramento is his fave. We'll go there next time. I hope others have better luck than we did.
re: c oliver
Oh, that's really too bad! Next time maybe Hong Kong Flower Lounge. It's not the sexy choice, but in my experience it's consistent and the service there has always been good. The new Millbrae branch of South Sea Seafood Village might be another option.
re: Ruth Lafler
I was about to suggest Hong Kong Flower Lounge until I saw the date of the OP. Sorry to hear about Asian Pearl. That is weird because most dim sum places will ask you what tea you want first and bring it right away. I really like Hong Kong Flower Lounge. It's not as fancy in dish selection as Koi Palace, but solid in terms of what they do serve. And if you have any favorites that you don't see, you can ask and they may make it for you. And for catching a flight to SFO, it's great being in Millbrae right off the freeway exit. (For next time!)
re: singleguychef
There's always next time :) Thanks.
re: c oliver
The chicken feet dish may have been cooked in "lo suey" or an abalone sauce -- a larger portion and premium sauce served al dente... there's no excuse for their other lapses ...
re: c oliver
Oh no! For the past two or three years Asian Pearl Peninsula has been my most consistent source of good dim sum experiences. The service has never been stellar but it has always been at least acceptable. I heard they changed ownership (about six months ago?) and I have not gone recently, so perhaps the management change has gone badly.
Even before the ownership change I heard complaints from other people but my experiences were always positive. I always go on weekdays which may be better for service.
Maybe Millbrae is just losing its dim sum mojo. Could competition from all the new Chinese places there serving other styles of food be somehow hurting the dim sum places?
Zen Peninsula has been my second favorite Millbrae spot, often with very good quality but very inconsistent. I was happy with my one visit to South Sea Seafood Village but don't much like The Kitchen. I haven't been to HKFL in ages but maybe it's time to give them a try.
re: charliemyboy
I was honestly surprised. Although we no longer live in SF, we eat dim sum anytime we can. Usuallly the minute we, as non-Chinese, ask for chicken feet the servers get 'happy' and we're treated well. Even if not effusive, we've never had service like this. We won't go back THERE but will try other South Bay places as opportunties present themselves.
I am SO glad I live near Asian Pearl, honestly I like both Koi Palace and Asian Pearl
KP (like Thomas mentioned) has a broader menu and things you won't see in Asian Pearl, however my mom finds that there isn't much diff and actually prefers Asian Pearl (she used to visit hong kong every month).
Either way, you won't be disappointed in both.
re: sparkerly
I'm guessing you didn't see my followup post. I wouldn't go back to AP if THEY paid ME! Too many other good places around where we're treated well.
re: c oliver
Oh no, sorry I didn't check the dates. Wow, sorry to hear about your bad experience..
yeah chinese places...it's inevitable for service to suck. I've given up on service with chinese restaurants :(
re: sparkerly
See, with some exceptions (Dol Ho being one), I find service in Chinese places just fine to very good. I'm annoyingly smiley-faced when I don't speak the language. Maybe they think I'm a crazy person and that should be careful :)
go to Koi Palace, Ive been there twice this year on my way out of SF, its super close to the airport and KP is very efficient and the food is excellent. It's the one of only three places in the US that i've been to that would be considered a decent place in hong kong (sea harbour and elite in LA are the others).
re: c oliver
i like sea harbour the best out of them, i find their execution to be the best, but they're all fairly close to each other. i will give koi palace the nod on variety and having noveau dim sum items which you might see in HK but rarely in the US
re: c oliver
ah yah im from newport beach, so well aware of the drive. however, i always take 405 to 710, which doesn't look like its faster, but saves you driving up the 5 since you always get screwed on the 5
next time you're in OC, contact me and ill give you a massive list of places in little saigon, which ive explored very thoroughly and i think is one of my favorite places to eat in the US
sea harbour and elite are pretty close, but i think the execution at sea harbour is quite good, definitely get their snow buns...those are sooo good although they always run out early
re: c oliver
if i happen to be in CA at the same time would be happy to

HaltomDistrict 4-5A Coach: Scot Hafley Last Season: 2-8 (1-6 in District 4-5A) Key Players: LB Corderius Cooksey (6-2, 190), LB Quinton Smithy (6-2, 190), QB Jon Armstrong (6-0, 185), DL Marc Aguilar, DL Kalib Ringwald, DL Richard Givans, LB Coy Casbeer, DB Alex Ortiz, RB Dandre Reed The big picture: Despite injuries to key players, including last year's starting quarterback Travis Danford, coach Scot Hafley's squad was just six points from a playoff berth. The 2012 Buffalos lost to Justin Northwest (24-21) and Keller Central (24-21). Haltom led six of their 10 games at halftime, but depth proved to be a problem down the stretch. Senior quarterback Jon Armstrong, who according to Hafley has waited patiently three years for this opportunity, has won the starting job and will be asked to lead an inexperienced offense. Quotable: "We didn't have the greatest season last year, but it's all about overcoming adversity. We have a lot of team chemistry and some great players coming back so I think we're going to have a good year and surprise some people." — Senior QB Jon Armstrong"We've had a great off-season and saw tons of improvement. The kids have had a great attitude and have accepted every challenge we have given them. We have been giving them challenges in order to try to finish games." — Coach Scot Hafley Notable: The last time the Buffalos finished a football season 2-8, they missed the playoffs by just one point. They rebounded the next season to finish second in 2009. One of their two victories last season came against Richland. — Greg Bogomol

BC was led by their senior Craig Smith who had another dominant performance while looking like a man amongst boys. Smith scored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. A large chunk of Smith's points were scored at the end of the first half when Montana was up 25-20 and Smith tallied all of BC's points on an 8-0 run that put them up for good.
"He's a big, physical guy, you can't leave him for a minute," said Montana forward Andrew Strait. "A lot of his points on came on second shots."
It wasn't only Smith who was grabbing boards, BC as a team outrebounded the Grizzlies by a margin of 43-24.
Jared Dudley added 20 points of his own, and Tyrese Rice and Louis Hinnant were the other Eagles who scored in double figures with 14 and 10 points, respectively.
Although making the sweet sixteen is a cause for excitement, the Boston College team knows they haven't won anything yet and still have a long way to go.
"We should feel good about what we did, but at the same time I think the guys know we have a lot of business to take care of," said senior captain Louis Hinnant, "I was real happy that we just shook hands and walked off the court, there wasn't a lot of celebrating."
BC now travels to Minneapolis to face the winner of their former Big East rival, Villanova against Arizona, both of which would be the toughest matchup BC has seen in this tournament.

OK....teaser was awesome! :) now when is the album???
Oh my goodness how I loved the teaser! Makes me anxious for the album even more! Now, when is this album coming????
the dessert would be nice! and Im hoping by(or before) then, too!
Re the video also known as the "teaser" - was it a pleaser or an appeaser?
Did it whet your appetite, or did it just add to your wait for the dessert course (DCTR2)?
Is want-want-want-iness a real word, or is it yet another trademark of the music-starved DCO world?
Can you feel the energy forces moving towards us? I hope-hope-hope that the single is launched before Valentine's Day and the CD is released by end of March.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it (for now).
I know JUST what you mean....the anticipation......alittle bit of insanity going on here!
I'd like to say I'm *patiently* waiting for this album like iloveDCYES, but instead I'm impatient and going out of my mind! LOL
I just know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this ablum with blow us all away, just like he does all the time. I am patiently waiting, overdosing on DCTR until this new album comes out. This teaser is way beyond what I thought it would be...

George Lucas: 'No more Star Wars'
At the risk of getting into a pissing match...
@NoneSuch: Let's check your evidence.
- CE3K took $303m box office (you forgot to add that in)
- Raiders of the lost ark was released in 1981 (and "we are talking about only the 70's" )
So I make the running total for the 5 other influential directors $1142.1m + $303m = $1445.1m. Almost double what Lucas did alone,
Granted, Lucas had the highest grossing film of those mentioned, and granted, ILM changed the game in movie special effects, however the figures you used to back up your argument were presented wrongly.
Don't get me wrong, I like Star Wars. I just don't agree that George Lucas single handedly resurrected the US movie industry in 1977. He has helped elevate sci-fi from B movie material, and that, to a lot of people around here, really seems to matter.

My POV, is that Paladins don't have to be balanced around an improved ardent defender ( although it certainly is an option). Furthermore giving everyone WoTN doesn't solve anything since that changes how much damage bosses will be doing, it would be easier to rebalance WotN in the first place.
In truth we shouldn't be talking about either of these abilities since WotN is basically a 15% passive modifer that takes a little more mana to heal from weak attacks and AD is a passive modifier that only comes into play every once in awhile. Neither is a CD.
*Edit* On a side note I just realized -15% magice damage from FP and -15% from WotN , spell deflection, VB,IB and anti magic shell, wow where have I been all this time.

I frankly still think this is an issue of encounter design vs class design. In a game with classes that have strong differences by design, balancing encounters becomes an increasingly difficult task.
As we all know, most complaints come from the ability of different classes to tank a specific encounter, this encounter is designed to have single large bursts of magic damage every ~20 seconds, so it greatly favors chaining of damate reduction/absorption cooldowns. On the other hand you have one class that seems to be designed around the use of closely chained cooldowns. The encounter and the class are perfect match.
I really respect (and agree with) the developers' efforts to avoid class homogeneization, but the downside to their efforts is that encounters become much more difficult to balance in a way that specific classes are not favored too greatly.
The challenge of designing encounters that are balanced for heterogeneous class design is no small matter, but if it is done succesfully it will yield very entertaining encounters, where each different class is able to use their own unique advantages to succeed.

<Journey> is recruiting, visit www.wowjourney.com for information and class needs.
I do imagine however that Blizzard itself has done thousands of hours of tests on just this issue and that it's within the margin of error they set themselves of X%.
Since you're so fond of "looking at the data" let's do just that.
An unbuffed frost presence (assuming a spec with toughness) DK tank in full naxx-25 gear has about 72% (from AC) physical damage reduction. Frost presence also provides 15% spell reduction.
(Note 72% from our Sarth+3 DK tank - chardev.org v6 ~ a World of Warcraft character planner)
DK, 1000 damage physical hit = 72% armor mitigation = 280 hits the DK
An unbuffed defensive stance (assuming a spec with toughness and improved defensive stance) warrior tank in full naxx25 gear has about 62% (from AC) + a 10% (from stance) physical damage reduction, totalling (OMG) 72% and 15.4% spell reduction.
(Note the 62% is from my armory gear)
Warrior, 1000 damage physical hit = 10% stance reduction = 900 damage physical hit = 62% armor mitigation = 342 hits the warrior
HOLD ON ... the DK takes less damage OMG! The balancing occurs in blocking - it's RNG based but them's the breaks.
The difference of block is offset by a DKs higher health pool and armor. Although warriors can critically block for up to 7k or so it's at the mercy of the RNG and a typical block of 1500 occurs only about 25% of the time.
The difference in avoidance ... I'm not sure how to explain but I imagine it's balanced by blocking as well.
In response to your feeling of inferiority over small hits from lots of mobs ... whilst certainly against many small hitting mobs like trash a shield is an advantage - NO ONE SPECS OR PLAYS FOR TRASH. A main tank's job is not the trash.

Uh, Ratholorn, a warrior in full 213 gear has around 24k armor. No way is that only 62% reduction when coupled with Def Stance.
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
I have been asking myself the following question lately. If I had a DK character as equal geared as my warrior why I wouldnt just always tank with the DK as things stand inside the game today in relation to the quality and smoothness of the tanking i.e wouldnt have to spam heroic strike constantly whilst tanking a boss as one example as well as other examples mentioned in this topic.
I hope blizzard pays close attention to this topic as it highlights in a detailed and non-whine way the grave inbalances between the tank classes as they stand especially in relation to differing cooldowns and "oh shit" buttons. I have have been thinking the same things in regards to the detrimental effect it is having on tanking in general as well as on raid groups.
I hope, as well as many of you, that the tank abilities, particularly in relation to cooldowns and threat production are streamlined at equal potential when tanks are at the same item/gear level. Chain cooldowns should definitely be a no go area....gear level is meant to show the quality of a tank not how well they can chain cooldown using glyphs and talents pressing a few buttons.
It would be really nice to know that the fellow, equal geared tank, be it a warrior, pala, druid or death knight was EQUAL to me in terms of all tanking aspects so we had the SAME potential so that we could hold respect for each other rather than point out why things are inbalanced or point out potential inbalances blizzard have made between the tanking classes. This is not what any of us want as we'd like to know that the right choices have been made for the future of tanking for all the classes.
A 4-way balance between the tanks needs to me made soon to avoid constant changes being made in the future, nerfs, moaning, whining etc which will continue unless something is done to address this issue.
It is becoming a regular occurence where I hear ppl say "get a dk tank they have grip, get a dk tank as they have the best aoe aggro etc etc" it is very worrying to the rest of the tank classes and inevitably makes us feel inferior, although that may be to strong a word.
Warrior mitigation from armor on a level 83 mob:
13444 + 7890 = 21334 armor (shield)
21334 * 1.1 * 1.02 = 23937 (talent, meta gem)
1 - (23937 / (23937 + 16635)) = 0.41 (59% damage mitigated through armor)
0.4100 * 0.9000 = 0.3690 (stance modifier)
Death knight mitigation:
13444 * 1.8 * 1.15 * 1.02 = 28386 (frost presence, talent, meta)
1 - (28386 / (28386 + 16635)) = 0.3695 (63% mitigated)
For all intents and purposes the warrior and death knight have an identical worst case hit. The warrior then has a possibility to block on top of that result, while the death knight has the higher avoidance to rely on. Small hits will favor block, while larger hits will favor avoidance. In the 2 minute Patchwerk case they're certainly in the 'favors block' stage of the fight.
Balance WotN by giving it to everyone, it solves our AD leapfrog issues and it evens out the non-DK classes panic button wise.
I just copied and pasted a reply I made to Xav on the test center forums, but I believe the post is applicable to this thread as well.
TLDR: The problem is being able to chain cooldowns for (near) 100% uptime. Constant re-active use of cooldowns is a trademark of the DK playstyle and, if implemented/used properly, does not make the class overpowered. Rather than increasing DK cooldowns to 2-3+ mins (thereby effectively nullifying this aspect of the playstyle) a better solution might be to decrease their durations.
I'm not a fan of constant pro-active cooldowns either, but I am a big fan of re-active cooldown usage and feel that it is a unique trademark of DK tanking that I would hope Blizzard preserves. I know that is not the message you are trying to send here (though something to that effect may be unintentionally communicated). I would be a biased fool if i tried to seriously convey that the use of cooldowns as they currently exist in the game, or rather the ability to maintain near 100% uptime on cooldowns, is balanced. However, I do think that it is possible to find the sweetspot where near-100% uptime cannot be achieved, yet DK cooldown availability is preserved such that the reactive playstyle is unaffected.
For example, I know many guilds rotate external cooldowns in conjunction with the DKs own cooldowns for 3-drake Sartharion so the tanking aspect becomes little more than one long cooldown chaining process. My guild does not. At most I might get one pain suppression or guardian spirit. For many of our kills I didn't receive any outside help. Furthermore I have often tanked Sarth as "pure" Unholy (10-8-53, not necessarily ideal, but definitely possible) so in addition to having to re-actively use cooldowns, I also have to be careful and smart about when to use boneshield. This type of fight/lplaystyle, and others like it, is something I greatly enjoy.
Aside from the issue of potential 100% CD uptime, many people consider DKs to be overpowered because of their unique ability to tank 3-drake Sartharion. Yet in some sense (depending on your approach), 3-drake Sartharion is very similar to pre-Wrath Illidan. Instead of sheer we have big magical breath bombs and instead of shield block, DKs use their cooldowns. In TBC, warriors, and to a lesser extent prot paladins, were also the only ones who could tank Illidan. Thus, it is not a DKs overpowered tanking ability/tank stats that makes them almost uniquely suited for this role, but their ability to respond with a "shield block"-like skill to counter Sartharion's "sheers". Frankly, I would have greatly enjoyed tanking Illidan in TBC on a warrior for this very same reason and would not be opposed if Blizzard decided to throw warriors and perhaps other tank classes a bone by adding fights where spell reflect or some other *reactive* ability gave them an edge.
As for DKs themselves, I do think an avoidance nerf is in order. Right now 70% or higher is definitely possible. What will happen with Tier 8? 9? In addition, I think lowering the duration of cooldowns like Vampiric Blood and IBF (to something like 15 seconds, maybe 20 post-glyph, and 8-10 seconds on IBF) could be in order. Bone shield probably needs fewer charges (4 with glyph perhaps) and increase the mitigation to 25% to compensate. A slight increase in cooldown time would not affect the playstyle too greatly either.
My armory is in fact full 213 gear (except head and ranged slot) and comes out at 61.24% from AC.
Xav's armory comes out at 62.02% from AC

Frost Presence - Spell - World of Warcraft
The death knight takes on the presence of frost, increasing total health by 10%, armor contribution from items by 80%, and reducing spell damage taken by 15%. Increases threat generated. Only one Presence may be active at a time.
What spec were the death knights for the test we saw? Did they spec into the best/most cooldowns and sacrificed more traditional forms of damage reduction to show it? Did they have Blade Barrier, Anticipation, and Toughness? Were they the optimal tank spec, or were they a cooldown spec for the test, is what I'm asking. I can't find the answer in the test post.
And what are you talking about DTPS being higher on the Death Knight than the warrior? The WWS logs for the first 2 minutes in the test you're quoting:

This is also early on the fight where warriors are supposed to perform better than Death Knights. These stats are with cooldowns used though, so I don't understand why you're quoting these results since our discussion is about them without cooldowns? I feel like I'm not understanding what you're getting at. Perhaps I missed something. Maybe it's another test you're refering too.
Either way we're now dangerously off-topic unless the mods don't mind branching discussions. If they're okay with it, I look forward to your response. If they're not, shoot me a private message of where I've gone wrong with the data.
remember that the def stance 10% comes AFTER you take AC, so the it's actually (1-62%)*.9 or in otherwords... in this specifica case... 3.8%

'Harry Potter' tickets outpace 'Transformers'
Advance ticketing for sequel makes up 65% of daily sales
Eight days before its July 15 opening, "Prince" accounted for 65% of daily ticket sales, online ticketer Fandango said Tuesday.
In a related promo, Fandango said a poll of more than 3,000 visitors to its Web site found that 85% of respondents had read all seven Potter books. "Prince" is the sixth Potter pic of a planned eight; Warners is splitting the seventh book into two movies.
" 'The Half-Blood Prince' is turning out to be one of our fastest-selling titles of the year," Fandango COO Rick Butler said.
Fandango began selling "Prince" tickets on June 17. Ticket purchasers get a free music download of the song "Friends and Love" from the film's soundtrack.

Italy, 1967 (MIFF 1968, Programme 8)
Director: Marco Bellocchio
Two brothers and their sister, living in a small provincial town, are at the centre of a complex plot through which Bellocchio criticizes petit-bourgeois morality and the current political situation.
Vittorio, the elder brother, seeks municipal power on the socialist ticket —led by his vanity however, not by conviction. His sister Elena rules the household with an iron hand and an open boudoir, and both are soon the sexual partners of their employees— one of whom is Vittorio's secretary. This involvement with the proletariat is also a comment on Beliocchio's views on the political collaboration between the working class and the bourgeoisie. In the meantime, the younger brother, Camillo, a Maoist, throws spanners into the political works.
The bitterly funny political and sexual situations developed by the director unerringly point up a connection between lack of ideology in politics and dishonesty in private life. From the adolescent hostility in his first film, Fists in the Pocket, to political disdain in this his second feature, Bellocchio confirms the promise he showed in his debut.
Special Jury Award, Venice Festival.

November 29, 2014
The Iowa Supreme Court says the state can legally tax the switches, computers and other property of traditional telephone companies, but not force cellular telephone providers to pay similar taxes on equipment.
In a ruling released Friday, the court upheld the state's right to tax Qwest Corp., which filed a lawsuit in 2006 challenging its state property taxes.
Qwest claimed an Iowa law that taxes equipment of traditional telephone companies but virtually none of wireless providers' equipment violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution.
The court says companies like Qwest maintain "monopoly power" and lawmakers could reasonably conclude that taxing personal property "is an appropriate way to capture some of their monopoly rent."
A spokesman for CenturyLink, which bought Qwest, says the company is disappointed with the ruling.

Charlton: Ronaldo is United's best ever
Sir Bobby Charlton paid newly-crowned European Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo the ultimate compliment by hailing him as the best player in Manchester United's history. Ronaldo became the first United hero to lift the prestigious Ballon d'Or for 40 years after being confirmed as the overwhelming winner last night, and will receive the award at a gala ceremony in Paris on Sunday. The 23-year-old, who scored 42 goals last season as United won the Premier League and Champions League, can now take his rightful place alongside Old Trafford legends and fellow former winners Denis Law (1964), Charlton (1966) and George Best (1968). But Charlton said Ronaldo can lay claim to being the most gifted United player ever because he is quicker and stronger than Best, who has long been regarded as their brightest star. "It was paradise watching George play, just as it is now with Ronaldo," said Charlton. "The difference is that Ronaldo is stronger and faster."
David McDonnell, Daily Mirror
Meanwhile, Ronaldo claims in the Telegraph that his second yellow card in the Manchester derby was down to a misunderstanding and sportsmanship. Micah Richards, Ronaldo claims, had cried out in pain, prompting him to attempt to catch the ball so that the City defender might receive treatment.
The Telegraph also features quotes from Inside United's Ask Sir Alex column in which the manager predicts a thrilling four-horse title race.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says a House Republican backup plan for avoiding the "fiscal cliff" can't pass the Democratic-run Senate.
House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that he was preparing a backup plan for averting the "fiscal cliff" if President Barack Obama fails to agree to a compromise that is evenly balanced between tax increases and spending cuts. Boehner's backup plan would continue tax cuts for people earning $1 million or less, but allow tax increases on those earning more than that. Still, the Ohio Republican said his talks with Obama will continue.
Without an agreement, taxes will rise for nearly every American on Jan. 1 and wide-ranging spending cuts will also begin taking effect.
Reid said Boehner should focus on negotiations and not succumb to tea party pressure.

- Just because dinner datePKHNTSDined on 11/21/2014My husband and I found ourself a sitter, and went out in so much need of a relaxing casual dinner and iat the Sea Food Co, was all we were asking for, plus the out standing services of our server. He was fantastic, food was fantastic. Excellent night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Once again Real Seafood delivered on an evening of celebration for a friends birthday gathering. Our group is large with young and old, spry and physically challenged. Going beyond the basics, Real Seafood always accomadates our picky food requirements by adjusting dishes to our palates --no artichokes, can you just add some spinach to the dish? Five of our seven diners ordered the crab cakes proving our love of the dish and the consistency of the dish. Stewed tomatoes are a simply perfect pairing with the crab. Add the coleslaw or a dinner salad with house vinegrette to round out your meal. If you have room , the desserts hit the sweet spot. The octagarians in our gathering can never finish dinner but both manage to polish off coconut custard pie which would make Betty Crocker proud. The rest of us "I'll just have a bite" eaters manage to polish off creme brûlée , key lime pie, pumpkin cheese cake, and chocolate mousse. Thanks again Barb for making our celebration one to remember.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great serviceLizzyBDined on 11/21/2014the service was excellent, food was good, served piping hot.Special Features:
- a cold night out with delicious food!anniversarycoupleDined on 11/18/2014Our server, Mickey, was very attentive to our needs, but not over bearing. My water glass was never less than half full! The fried oysters were absolutely amazing, I wanted more! My husband and I enjoyed a smattering of appetizers and shared a salad and entrée, and we were both quite full at the end. I wish I would've saved room for dessert because I love the key lime pie!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meh...AAdinerDined on 11/16/2014The presentation of the food was sloppy. It tasted fine, but it was just slapped on the plate, with no garnish or care. It looked like something you'd get at home, not in a nice restaurant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- I really wanted to like this placeBhamguyDined on 11/15/2014We started off with a bottle of white wine. We had the Tablas Creek Vineyard 2011 which was a Grenache Blanc. Not a big nose by any means however a pleasant bottle from a limited wine list. Our server was attentive and helpful however he couldn't help the entrees to be detailed later. For appetizers we had tuna tartare and the crab cake. Both tasted pretty good overall. The wine and appetizers seemed to be the best part of our entire meal/experience. For entrees my date and I took our servers advice. My date had the servers favorite dish, the Chilean seabass and I had the house special which was swordfish which came highly recommended from our server as well. Everything seemed microwaved and overcooked. The swordfish was overcooked and very tough. The sauce on top didn't fit the profile of the overall fish/dish. The seabass wasn't bad however it wasn't great either. For dessert we had the dark chocolate bread pudding. It was boring and lacked flavor. Even worse we were seated near a register so traffic was at a high and in addition the floor would move up and down every time someone came by which added to the unpleasant dinner. All of this didn't result in a very good experience for $150 meal. I felt I could have had a better experience at Applebee's for less than half the price. I really wanted to like this place however they didn't deliver.
- JeffzDined on 11/10/2014The whole grill fish was an amazing taste. The food was great. Definitely, we will come back.Special Features:
- Excellent seafood restaurantellieroseDined on 11/8/2014This was a great place to come for a special occasion. Felt like an event without being pretentious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a disappointmentAAnativeDined on 11/7/2014As an AA native and former resident I had fond memories of excellent food with great service and ambience. What a disappointment to find robotic service and an inflexible menu with few gluten free options. With so many better local options, I won't be coming back here.
- Great dining experienceSnowbirdDined on 11/2/2014Our server was Brittanie, she was a trainee, and she did a wonderful job. She made our dining experience for my wife's birthday memorable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, and was able to answer any questions that we had. It was hard to believe that she was a trainee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, pricey drinksCdeb315Dined on 11/1/2014The food was simple - but good. Seafood was fresh and well prepared as was the salad. I had the crab cakes, hubby the broiled sea scallops. Crab cakes had lots of crab meat, hardly any filler - and came with a mustard sauce on the side that was quite tasty. The seasoning in the crab cakes themselves was pretty light, so the sauce was key. I chose red potatoes for a side dish - and that's exactly what I got. Boiled reds - not one spec of seasoning. Hubby's scallops were well prepared, but a bit lacking in seasoning... He had corn on the cob for a side and said it was good. Service was very good - especially considering how busy they were (Saturday after football game). Caution - wine & drinks were hugely expensive!Special Features:
- A surpriseSMSKDined on 11/1/2014We were able to get a reservation after UM victory w/ only 1/2 hr wait. Our food was excellent as usual - wonderful GF options for one of our party. Fabulous vegetable choices - loved the spinach & carrots & we couldn't pass on the desserts - everyone had a different choice! Wait staff energetic - very friendly - prompt service - delightful personality - thanks Josh - a gem!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/30/2014Loved our lobster dinner and our server was outstanding. We always enjoy dining here.Special Features:
- Not satisfiedDinning2Dined on 10/30/2014Had reservations for a booth at 7:30 pm, had to take another table after waiting 50 minutes. We were told the people had paid but were just sitting there. They should of moved them to the bar area with a free drink. We had a waiter in training and the trainer was busy with a 15 top table. The trainer apologized several times but the evening was lost. The food was not up to the standards of previous visits.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/29/2014This restaurant is always one of my favorites. Lately, I've been trying different things on the menu, but I need to go back to the crab cakes and the Michigan whitefish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LoveseafoodDined on 10/28/2014Our meal was fantastic. Our waiter and all the wait staff was wonderful. The seafood is always incredible here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/26/2014I have always been a fan of Real Seafood Co.. This last visit did not meet my expectations and I left feeling very disappointed with our meal. It was LobsterFest - and the food was not very good and the prices were high. Dinner for two with one beer/soup $90. =( Which, had it been an amazing dining experience is an amount I'd be willing to spend. As it was, not so much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place in downtown Ann ArborAnita85Dined on 10/26/2014We got a wonderful table by the window. My friend and I enjoy the food a lot, great food during Lobster Fest. We also love the Creme Burlee with tea for desert as well.Special Features:
- Early Afternoon MealScallopManDined on 10/26/2014Service was excellent, waiter was helpful on menu selections, very knowledgeable, food was outstanding, fresh and tasty, not too much spice, just enough to enhance the taste yet one could still really enjoy the food's natural seafood flavor, facility was very clean and neat, a wonderful experience. Nice selection on wine and beer as well. Did not have room for desert. Would recommend the blue plate dinner consisting of shrimp, scallops, stuffed flounder, oysters, and fantastic crab cake, also comes with a side dish if you have room left. A great place to take your lady on a dinner date if your going to Ann Arbor, you will drop some cash, but you get what you pay for. Cup of New England clam chowder was also very good as an appetizer.Special Features:
- Would not recommendOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Service was good ,the food was less than fair. the side choices were limited,and the presentation of the plate, let's just say there wasn't any I would not recommend it to my friends or family
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Food + Service not worth the $$, food was not seasoned well. Service was lacking, not very attentive or friendly.
- A good meal with good friendsFredDined on 10/22/2014Food and service were great as usual and we went on a week day, so it was a little quieterSpecial Features:
- Great food and service; bad seatingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/22/2014The food and wait staffer were excellent, but, in a lovely restaurant full of quiet booths and tables, we were seated in a low-ceilinged back area crammed in next to a large group. By the time drinks were served the noise level was so high we had to repeat what we were saying to each other for the whole meal. The lighting, too, was strange with an LED hanging lamp catching me in the eyes every time I leaned forward to hear what my spouse had to say. On our way out, I was struck by how airy and quiet and romantic the rest of the restaurant was: there were still available tables. Why were we and so many other people crammed in the annex? I don't think we will return.Special Features:
- Excellent venue & mealOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/21/2014The seafood, atmosphere and service was EXCELLENT.Special Features:
- Lobster Fest!GailDined on 10/18/2014I got an email from Real Seafood telling me about their special October Lobster Fest so we scheduled a reservation for the first Saturday night that was a bye week for the Michigan Wolverines. Good dinner as advertised and we had terrific seats overlooking the street so we could people watch during our meal. Our server,Rosaria, was competent in extracting the lobster from its shell for us. Good bread and coleslaw, too.Special Features:
- Pre theaterbsg113Dined on 10/18/2014I have been to this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed it. The server was pleasant and attentive and the food was delicious. My only concern is that we had to wait a long time from when we ordered our food until we got it. We arrived at 6pm, ordered by 6:15 and did not get main entre until close to 7. We were almost late for the theater. I guess we will have to tell our server that we were on a bit of a time crunch next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- SamanthavonDined on 10/16/2014The martinis were small and way over priced...$9.95 during happy hour on a Thursday at 5:30pm... The server was so slow and dull. The rolls were hard and cold. The lobster bisque was luke warm. This restaurant is nothing special...but we have been going out of habit for 30 years! The meal was very expensive and very ordinary. Next time I'll go to Knights where the drinks are good and the food is generous and deliscious and the service is prompt! Maybe the manager of Real Seafood should stop in at Knights to learn how things should be done!
- Great foodGoGreenGoWhiteDined on 10/14/2014Been here several times and the food and service is always good. Their mango salsa is awesome and you can't go wrong with anything that is served with their ginger soy sauce.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delayed seating.OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 10/10/2014We arrived on time for our 6:45 reservation. We were told, "It'll be just a moment". We were seated at 7:10 without an apology for the wait. The food was satisfactory but not special. Our server was excellent.
- Never DisappointsJackiVIPDined on 10/9/2014From Los Angeles, but every time I visit Ann Arbor I have to have seafood at the Real Seafood Co. Wine, salads, soups, and definitely the whitefish, Crab, and Linguini. I'm already missing this 30+ year old gem.Special Features:
- Table seatingmarilynDined on 10/9/2014Even though we had reservations, the maitre d' tried to seat us at 2 undesirable tables. It was early and there were lots of empty tables that were available, but he tried to put us at the worst ones. My husband and I were well-dressed and we don't look unruly. We go to this restaurant about once a month and same thing usually happens- undesirable tables. I guess I'm tired of it. And I always request a different table, much to their annoyance. But the food is always good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Black Sun: Montauk's Nazi-Tibetan Connection After World War II and the subsequent occupation of Germany, Allied military commanders were stunned to discover the penetrating depth of the Nazi regime's state secrets. The world's best intelligence organization was not the least of these revelations. Also discovered were massive and meticulous research files on secret societies, eugenics and other scientific pursuits that boggled the imagination of the Allied command. Even more spectacular was an entire web of underground rocket and flying saucer factories with accompanying technology that still defies ordinary beliefs. A missing U-boat fleet possessing the most advanced submarine technology in the world left many wondering if the Nazis had escaped with yet more secrets or even with Hitler himself. Behind all of these mysteries was an even deeper element: a secret order known to initiates as the Order of the Black Sun, an organization so feared that it is now illegal to even print their symbols and insignia in modern Germany. "The Black Sun" probes deeper into the secrets of the Third Reich and its Tibetan contacts than any other previous attempt. Author Peter Moon ties all of these strange associations to Montauk Point, where an American military facility was used by the Nazis to further their own strange experiments and continue the agenda of the Third Reich. Peter Moon unravels more Montauk mysteries which leads to the most insightful look ever into the Third Reich and their ultimate quest: the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail.
