Hello, I'm new in this forum:)
I've decide to post here 'cause I need an opinion about my gear and my dps.
My armoury is: The World of Warcraft Armory
I think my gear is pretty ok, thinking about I can't do raids like ulduar or toc.
But at the moment, with this gear and spec, my dps isnt improving a lot, reaching about 3.5k as max in raids like os25 or voa25, fully buffed.
I think is not much compared to other classes, like hunters or locks, that can do 5.0k + dps with an equivalent level gear.
I also do the correct rotation, but..
Do u think changing to fury, with this gear, will improve my dps? or the probs is another?
And to finish, I see a lot of people saying to take ArP over ArP, to reach 75% or plus of ArP...but i think its pretty impossible, without leaving other stats like hit or expertise uncapped...i'm correct or not?

Top Assembly
Any units that have this assembly number and revision or have older assembly numbers and revisions are affected.
It is possible that the amplifier units listed above may fail while in service. The likelihood of this occurrence within a space of time is directly associated with the power output level configured on the amplifiers.
The higher the output power of the unit, the faster the unit will age. Operating the unit in an environment where it is subjected to high ambient operating temperatures will accelerate this process.
This problem occurs due to a component of the unit not functioning within expected tolerances.
The amplifiers can be configured for high power, medium power or low power output. The configuration of power level depends upon the number of channels that the amplifier is servicing (and on other network parameters, such as the span budget and the fiber type).
The setting can be checked using any of the Cisco Photonics Element Managers or the Cisco Photonics Local Terminal (CPLT) local craft terminal. The failure rate of the amplifiers is based directly against their power settings:
The failure rate of the amplifiers is based directly against their power settings:
At high power, the fail rate will increase by a value of few percent per month, after a period of 6 months to 1 year from turn-up.
At medium power, the fail rate will increase by a value of few percent per month, after a period of 18 months to 3 years from turn-up.
At low power, this phenomenon is not expected to impact significantly the predicted mean time between failures (MTBF) of the amplifiers.
The problem is shown at unit level when the Output Power Degrade alarm is present, in absence of any other alarm. When the degradation is present, the amplifier continues to work, although with degraded performance; the consequences at network level (i.e., bit error rate (BER) increase) depend on the margin of the specific link. The Output Power value (detected through Supervision) gives an immediate indication of the level of degradation.
To extend the expected lifespan of these units, the configuration should be examined to ensure that the units are operating at the lowest power output level required for the installation. Additionally, the units should be in an environmentally controlled environment where the ambient temperature can be regulated.
To resolve this issue, the amplifier units will need to replaced by units that have the component which operates within the expected tolerances for high power output.
All units deployed prior to release of this notice will be affected. Units deployed after release of this notice will not have this issue.
Units with a new pump combiner will have the following part numbers (or later):

Downtown Credo and Vespr announce new coffee bars
Plus Local Roots Farm Tour (with beer!), RavPig truffle dinner and more resto closings/openings
Published: June 4, 2014
Two weeks after Rich Alfonso unexpectedly handed ownership of College Park's O-Town Pizza & Wing Co. (formerly known as the Original Alfonso's Pizza and Sports Bar) over to property owner Curtis Hodges, it has closed. Hodges had a hard time finding someone to run the place, but is confident he'll find a new tenant.
Coffee news: Downtown Credo will open a second coffee shop next year in Florida Hospital's Health Village, next to the SunRail station. And Vespr Craft Coffee and Allures, the specialty coffeehouse out by UCF, will open a counter on the fifth floor of the historic Yowell-Duckworth Building on Orange Avenue in the late summer. The café will be a part of Catalyst, a collaborative work space.
If reading about Trevi's truffled treats tickled your umami senses, you might want to consider dropping $100 at the Ravenous Pig's Summer Truffle Wine Dinner. You'll sample the "black diamonds" throughout a five-course meal of rabbit, pheasant, wild boar, rib-eye and more, all paired with wine selected by a master sommelier. (There are only 214 of those in the world, you know.) Call 407-628-2333 for reservations.
Local Roots' June Farm Tour will see folks hop on the Tampa Bay Brew Bus and head off to three area farms – Dragon Farm and Ensey's Tropical Fruit in Merritt Island, as well as Wild Ocean Seafood in Titusville. Riders will get their fill of craft beer, then enjoy lunch and a cooking class at Wild Ocean. The bus leaves East End Market Saturday, June 28, at 11 a.m. Cost is $65 per person.
Closings to announce: Santos Brazilian Restaurant & Churrascaria (in the once-gorgeous Flavours of India space on South Kirkman Road) has closed. After more than 15 years in business, Memories of India in the Turkey Lake Plaza has also closed. (Their Lake Mary location remains open, however.)
Dexter's has opened an outpost in Windermere in the Grove at Isleworth development … Good news for those to the north and the west: Barbecue king John Rivers is expanding his empire to Tallahassee and Tampa.

Oh crap, I looked at my courses and the times for classes are fixed O_o You just have options of what timings you choose and you have to do 4 subjects; you have it for the whole week. >.>
Eh ... I don't think I have it this good X_x
Well, you answered pretty much everything.
I see I see
4 Years? That's a long time! o_o
Even though you dropped soem classes xD
Is the study tough? Most people say "yes they are. it's scary. welcome to the real life. "
and 10 years? O_o that includes postgraduate study? I wonder why's that, I mean ... that's insane. What if some courses only have 4 years of study?
You mean mechanical stuff?
I didn't pay attention in maths either, so I played on the calculator and found heaps of patterns with numbers!
How long have you been in college?
But if you're not interested in one subject, wouldn't it bring you down?
"freedom of speech"? >_>
my father's like "do mbbs! go become a doctor! or an engineer!"
Me -
Doing courses you don't like? Same here!
now i'll never get in ...
jk ... but ill try sometime, right now im occupied with uni
thanks though

Clinton joins other Dems in backing gay marriage
FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2013 file photo, then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton s...
Mon Mar 18, 9:02 PM UTC
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's embrace of gay marriage suggests she is weighing a 2016 presidential run and trying to avoid the type of late-to-the-party caution that hurt her first bid.
Her chief Democratic rivals endorsed same-sex marriage as much as seven years ago. The position is widely supported by Democratic and independent voters.
Clinton's move may render the issue largely settled among Democrats in 2016 if she decides to run. But things could be vastly different in the November 2016 general election.
The Democratic nominee is virtually certain to support same-sex marriage while there's a strong possibility the Republican nominee will not.
That could be a problem for the GOP. A new poll finds that 58 percent of Americans support gay marriage.

#StellediHarrods it's time for the Cerea brothers0
English version only.
Once again Harrods, in collaboration with Identità Golose and five Michelin star chefs, honours the excellence in Italian contemporary cuisine.
After Carlo Cracco in September, in October the Cerea brothers are taking over Harrods' restaurant located at the Lower Ground Floor.
I have been invited at the press night with Enrico "Chicco" Cerea, owner and chef – with his brother – of the Italian restaurant Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, close to Bergamo and I would like to share the great meal we had the chance to try in advance:
• Anchovy from Cantabrico, tuna sauce and hazelnuts from Piedmont – myself and Paolo Marchi have tried to have a bis and a tris of this one
• Soft polenta, Roccaverano robiola cheese, white truffle and Grana Padano sauce
• Gnocco filled with melted cheese with white truffle- my favourite dish
• Sea-bass Mediterranean style with yellow tomatoes
• Avocado cream with caramelised macadamia nuts and yogurt sorbet – a wonderful 5 senses experience (ok maybe 4 senses, not sure if I can include the hearing :))
In November it will be the turn of Gennaro Esposito of restaurant La Torre del Saracino, Vico Equense in Naples, two Michelin stars.
Then Annie Féolde's Enoteca Pinchiorri from Florence, three Michelin stars, and in January Enrico Crippa, chef at restaurant Piazza Duomo in Alba, three Michelin stars and number 39 in the 2014 World's 50 Best Restaurants. With only one restaurant in London being part of the 50 Best, The Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, it'd be a real shame not to try what Crippa has to offer.
London's best affordable spa2
English version only
Are you looking for a SPA in London that doesn't cost you a mortgage?
Well, I have the right address for you: the SPA London.
SPA London is a completely new concept that revolutionised the SPA market by offering luxury packages that are affordable and accessible to all. I heard about it, but I never had the chance to try myself until a few weeks ago when I went to the Ironmonger Row Baths branch, near Old Street. This charming 1931′s building was built as a public wash house and later upgraded to a Turkish Bath. It's only one of the 6 SPA facilities that are available across London.
The baths now include:
- 2 saunas
- 2 steam rooms
- Hammam
- Ice Fountain
- Plunge pool
- Monsoon Shower
- Bucket Shower
- Hot Rooms (Tepidarium, Caldarium, Lanconium)
I spent more then one hour trying every room – you can read this as "I have done nothing else than relaxing" – and then I enjoyed some time in the relax area, lying down on a super comfortable chaise longue, reading magazines while sipping an herbal tea.
There are also a double treatment room and 3 treatment rooms, where you can indulge yourself with products from Elemis and La Sultane de Saba.
I pampered myself in the double treatment room with the signatures services: the Ironmonger Row Full Body Scrub and the Ironmonger Row massage and I can say that the entire experience has completely relaxed my mind, released my back and after that my skin was really smooth, I will definitely come back again and again. I'd like to mention that, as the name implies, you have to share the double treatment room and this might be an issue for someone. It wasn't a problem for me or the other girl and I am sure you can discuss your needs with the beautician.
Now the best part, the price! The cost of the massage+ scrub is only £25+£10 and the the price for the 3 hour Thermal Spa Experience varies per location due to size and services available, the rate ranges from £9 for concessionary members through to £25 for a non member. It is really a SPA bargain!
They offer men only, women only and mixed sessions.
Disclaimer: I was a guest of SPA London, but hopefully you'll trust this post is about an honestly enjoyable experience.
Photos are from Spa London's website, you are not allowed to take pictures inside the Bath.

Brumus afternoon tea at the Haymarket Hotel1
Last Saturday, through the rain, an overcrowded tube ride and the thousands of people attending the Pride Parade, I managed to be on time for my afternoon tea. I had a table booked at Brumus, the Bar of the Haymarket Hotel, right in the heart of London's theatre district.
Both the Hotel, which I had previously visited, and the Bar are stylish in a very distinctive way. Dozens of different fabrics have been used in the décor and paired with beautiful artworks. A perfect cosy place where to unwind and forget the clamour.
Our booth was next to the window, with a special view on my favourite London theatre, Her Majesty's, home of the musical Phantom of the Opera.
We chose to have the Brumus Afternoon tea with a glass of Pommery champagne. I went for a white silver tip tea, while Giuliano opted for Sri Lankan Lemongrass. If you are a tea connoisseur you might think that the selection is slightly limited. The blends are original though: I am sure they'll surprise you like the place itself.
The tea set-up, as you can see below, was gorgeous and I simply loved the china sets decorated with peacocks.
The Savoury part included
- Smoked haddock Scotch eggs
- Leek and Taleggio quiche
- Grilled asparagus, Parma ham
- Potted shrimps on granary crisps
and the sweet was made up by
We finished with a vanilla panna cotta with strawberries and Prosecco jelly.
We really appreciated the atmosphere and the food, and were also impressed by the friendly, attentive staff who needed no prompting to refill our teapots or bring us a second round of food.
Top treat: for me was the latticed apricot tartlet, for Giuliano the lemon meringue pie.
Address: Haymarket Hotel, 1 Suffolk Place, London SW1 www.firmdalehotels.com
Cost: Brumus Tea is £25.50 per person. With a glass of Pommery NV is £33.00 per person
The wow factor: the chairs have dachshunds, bulldogs and scotties stitched onto the backs, I really wanted to take one of those at home with me!
Disclaimer: we were guests of Firmdale Hotels, but hopefully you'll trust this post is about an honestly enjoyable afternoon.

With the 9th overall pick, the Buffalo Bills select, Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina.
Detroit Lions are on the Clock... PM me. I may want to trade up.
With the 10th Pick, the Lions have traded the pick to the New York Jets for the Jets 18th pick and their 2nd Round Pick.
The NY Jets select Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M. The Jet fans go wild.
It's not official until the mod puts it up, but I traded the 10th overall pick to the Jets for their 18th overall pick and their 2nd round pick 49th overall.
The Titans are now on the clock.

An infant was killed and three people injured in a Council Bluffs house fire.
The father of six-month old Mayci-Jane Lerette talked to WOWT Six News.
"It's going to be hard to look at the stuff that we do have because it's going to always remind us of this," said Jerrel Lerette, rummaging through the debris in the charred living room.
The blaze broke out just before 8 p.m. at the residence near North 8th and Mill streets. Neighbors who saw smoke tried to rescue the residents, but they could not get inside.
Lerette had just taken his eldest son to prom when he got the call from neighbors. He said he's filled with regrets.
"I wish I could have done more, I wish I would have payed more attention to my baby that day and held her a little more," said Lerette.
Firefighters found 6-month-old Mayci Colburn-Lerette dead in the living room. Three-year-old Gerad Lerette, 30-year-old Jeremiah Lerette and 70-year-old Terese Lerette were taken to Alegent Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, then transferred to Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln for treatment.
Jeremiah Lerette, Jerrel's brother, was asleep in the basement at the time of the fire. He said his nephew Gerad saved him.
"At some point, my little nephew comes down and starts pushing and screaming and wakes me up--and I could just tell by the way he was acting that something was wrong," said Jeremiah Lerette.
Gerad and Jeremiah have been released from the hospital, but Terese is still recovering after suffering bad burns.
The Council Bluffs Fire Department and Police Department are investigating the cause of the fire. Firefighters notified police after discovering "suspicious" items inside the house. An investigation is underway to determine whether those items were a factor.
Lerette says he's complying with police in their investigation.

Melanie Comacho was very funny and we really enjoyed her show. Lots of adult humor and sex jokes but it was all hysterical. I don't think she dropped the F bomb once. Truly funny comics don't have to resort to that. The opening act was not funny, though some in the audience seemed to like him. Sorry can't remember what his name was. Constant cussing and racial jokes, just not funny. Calling people in the audience Mother F...
Food at Tommy T's is not the greatest, and really expensive. We had nachos. Plain unflavored chicken was tossed on top. I'd stick with a burger.

Hull KR squad 'hungry and enthusiastic', says Cory Paterson
Posted: November 10, 2012|
NEW Hull KR second rower Cory Paterson believes he has joined a squad hungry and enthusiastic for success next season.
Paterson met his new team-mates this week as pre-season got underway, with the 25-year-old keen to start the latest chapter in his career.
And the former Newcastle Knights and North Queensland Cowboy is confident the KR squad can bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on the play-offs last season.
"The squad is very hungry and enthusiastic," Paterson told the Mail.

"There are some big boys and some skilful ones too. I'm sure the results will come on the back of a good pre-season.
"It's a very professionally run ship and it's exactly what I expected.
"It's going to be a challenge, and it's one I'm really looking forward to."
Paterson joins a youthful squad at the Robins and accepts his NRL experience will be vital next season.
"I've been around a while now and I'm looking forward to helping out the younger guys here," he said.
"Pre-season has got to be done, so we have to get on with it. There are pros and cons to any job. Nobody likes doing the fitness side of it but when the season starts, they are all glad they did, and I'm someone who thinks like that. It's a means to an end.
"My advice to the younger players is to enjoy the challenges put to you each day and take it all in, whether it's your first or tenth pre-season.
"Pre seasons don't get much easier and you should still be learning to get stronger mentally and fitter. The rewards make it all worthwhile. You don't get anything easily."

Fifteen students in grades 6-8 at Robert M. Finley Middle School in Glen Cove competed in last month's Nassau County Science Olympiad, held at Port Washington's Weber Middle School. The Finley students competed in 11 separate events ranging from science crime busters to the weight-bearing Boomilever. The team of Ryan Telese and Joseph Yee won the bronze medal in the wheeled vehicle event, and Amanda Ieraci and Monika Jagustyn combined to place sixth in the Boomilever competition.
Students worked for two months after school in preparation for this Olympic–style marathon day of science that welcomed close to 50 teams from throughout Nassau. Finley Middle School Science Olympiad adviser and science teacher Jeff Eisele would like to congratulate all of the school's participants on a job well done.
Glen Cove High School senior Danny Casale won his second consecutive Best in Show award at the Long Island Media Art Show, held at Five Towns College in March. The Long Island Media Art Show featured students from approximately 20 high school television and film production programs across Long Island.
Deasy Elementary School in Glen Cove held its annual spring concert, which carried a special theme this year. Vocalists in grades kindergarten through second presented "The River of Dreams: A Billy Joel Tribute Concert" held under the direction of Rosita Mallo in conjunction with the school's visual arts department, led by Jean Bennardo.
As promised, Riley Keenan, an eighth-grader at North Shore Middle School, shaved his head on Monday, March 17. After raising more than $4,000 in only two weeks for the St. Baldrick's Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, Riley, along with his father Dave Keenan (a teacher at North Shore) Mr. Curtin, Mr. Leif, Mr. Lang, and Mr. Wilgoos took to the stage in the middle school cafeteria in front of numerous cheering students and teachers. It was evident that Riley's original quest might have started out as something small, but clearly grew into a much bigger event.
North Shore Middle School students in Maryalice Kelly's eighth grade "Disease" class recently conducted a lab using the Kirby-Bauer method to determine which antibiotic is most effective on E. coli and B. cereus bacteria.
Kelly said, "This technique is used in hospitals and medical labs to help doctors prescribe the most effective antibiotic to their patients with bacterial infections." She added, "The antibiotics that we examined were: Gentamicin, Penicillin, Streptomycin and Ampicillin."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Hundreds flooded into Colorado Mesa's Brownson Arena for some interactive entertainment from some top basketball pros - the Harlem Ambassadors.
They got the fun started and the crowd jumping, allowing kids from the crowd to be a part of their bench and cheer them on from the sidelines and in the team huddles. And they needed a little bit of a boost as they faced off against some tough competition in the Community All-Stars, the team that featured your very own financial advisors, realtors, bankers, CFO's, and more.
In the end it turned out to be an extremely successful night with all funds benefiting non-profits in the community.

Where to take my family to eat in Dallas for authentic food of any kind?
My sister and her daughter will be coming to Dallas to visit in May, I am just wondering where I can take them everyday to eat. We don't mind if it is expensive or cheap. My sister just said she doesn't like chain restaurants. I suggested Texas Roadhouse, didn't know they already have a few in Minnesota.
When I think of "Texas" food, all I can think of is Tex-Mex, Ribs and Wings. What is Texas famous for? We would like to have some good authentic sushi and Asian food too. Where can I take them to?
I live around the Plano, Frisco area so I prefer not to go to Fort Worth....
Also, where should I take them to shop besides the mall?
These aren't fancy, but places I enjoy and would take friends and family are...
The Fish Shack in Plano - great Mexican shrimp cocktail, hush puppies, catfish and oysters http://www.yelp.com/biz/fish-shack-plano
Densetsu In Plano - Great sushi and fun atmosphere http://www.yelp.com/biz/densetsu-plano
Mia's Tex Mex off Lemon in Uptown has great brisket tacos - http://www.yelp.com/biz/mias-tex-mex-...
The best sub sandwiches in Dallas are just across from Mia's at Great American Hero - http://www.yelp.com/biz/great-america...
Different grocery shopping for them might be Central Market and Trader Joe's. Also, for good deals and fun shopping, there is Nordstrom Rack off Preston and Park, just across from Willow Bend Mall.
Again, none of this is fancy or high end, but delicious and fun. I hope they enjoy their stay :-)
re: TXMandy
Thanks Mandy for your suggestions. I love Densetsu too. It is great that you mentioned the Fish Shack. How about the boiling crab? Have you been there yet? I have not but I have heard a lot good stuff about it!
re: abschick
I haven't been there yet, but it's definatly on my list to try very soon! The pics on yelp look amazing!
re: TXMandy
Texas Roadhouse is a chain founded in Indiana and headquartered in Louisville. Companies like using Texas in their names, like Texas Pete's hot sauce, out of North Carolina.
re: irodguy
Good choice, I will see if they still have the groupon deal for LIttle Sheep when they come! Thanks!
Texas BBQ is unique and, when done well, delicious. I don't eat BBQ in Dallas very often, but there are several threads here that discuss the various options. None that I've tried (and I haven't tried Pecan Lodge) truly stack up to the great Central Texas iconic places like Louie Mueller's, but even average BBQ is pretty good and Dallas now has several BBQ joints that are reputedly well above average.
Also Chicken Fried Steak is a iconic Texas item. I don't profess to know who has the best CFS in Dallas, but there are lots of places that have a decent CFS. I like Kel's not because they have the best of anything (except the fried squash), but because it reminds me of the restaurant of my youth in a small East Texas town -- they do everything pretty good. The CFS is like that. Very good, but not earth shattering. I can also recommend Celebration's CFS. the Babe's chain (very local, but alas, a chain) is also reputed to have very good CFS.
In fact, Celebration is probably a good choice. It has a general Texas/Southwest slant to it's ingredient driven cuisine. Reasonably priced, and very good.
It's a Texas of rather long ago, and almost a caricature, but you might also try Cattlemen's Steakhouse in Fort Worth. Not a bad place to stop for a bite after touring the Stock Yards in Ft. Worth. It's been ages since I ate there, but the last time I was there, they had still had calf fries on the menu. They weren't as good as the one's I had growing up that you ate hot out of the pan for lunch when you were working calves, but they were a serviceable imitation. You can't get more Texan than calf fries!!
Then I guess there is either Fearing's or Steven Pyles. Both high end Southwestern influence food. I have a slight preference for Fearing's, but other prefer Pyles. Both are very good and well reviewed many times herein.

re: LewisvilleHounder
This caters to the sushi request and several others. let me know if you would like any specific dish recommendations at the listed restaurants.
Asian Foods:
Authentic Thai food close to Plano will be at Bambu in Richardson (Coit and Campbell). Ask for the blackboard specials. The family that owns the restaurant emigrated from the Issan region in NE Thailand. Basically the area is pretty arid so they use whatever ingredients they can get their hands on. Noting that, the Issan sausage and sticky rice would be a good first timer dish. Neither is offensive and you get to enjoy eating with your hands. I have had just about all of the specials and it really depends on your mood that night when you go. Ask lots of questions about the dishes but have an open mind. We have brought our 14 month old daughter and she has liked some of the dishes. Note, the curries are good here but not really the restaurants true specialty. You don't necessarily have to ask for everything super spicy….that is a misconception that most have of Thai food. If you want it spicy ask for fresh Thai peppers, salty ask for fish sauce, sweet as for sugar. If your sister and niece is here on a Sunday then you all could go to the open air Thai market at Wat Dallas off Stults and Forest Ln. They have very authentic Thai dishes for super cheap and open only 11am – 1 pm. You can feed a family of 5 for about $40. I listed the Wat Dallas website only for the address. There is no info on the market. I suppose it is purely word of mouth. I just adore the Thai people and their food so I don't mind getting the word out about their market!
Indian food is getting better and better in DFW. Plano is fortunately one of the areas that has a large population of Indians. The best restaurant I know of is Chennai Café in Plano (Preston and Tennyson). This is particularly Southern Indian. They specialize in dosas (crispy lentil pancakes with any number of fillings or plain) which come with 2-3 chutneys (usually mint, peanut and coconut). Another specialty is biryani, specifically dum biryani. This dish is a more moist and highly seasoned rice that comes with your choice of proteins. This is the influence of the Portugese/N. African pilaf on the Indian culture. If you like rice pilaf then you just might like this dish. If you can't decide what to get then go for the sampler, thali. It is usually about 6-8 small samples of all the curries they have for the day 2-3 desserts, 1 yogurt, 1 raita (yogurt based dip) and a bread of your choice (naan (oven cooked flat bread) or roti/parata (similar to a tortilla). There are several other restaurants but this would be the best in Plano.
Best bet for sushi/Japanese is Sushi Robata in N Dallas (Frankford and the DNT), Sushi Sake in Richardson (Collins and Campbell) or Masami (Belt Line and 75). All three have very high Japanese clientele. If you want more intimate dinner with sushi and about a handful of specials I would choose Masami. If you want a more robust crowd for sushi then Sushi Sake. If your group really can't decide whether they want sushi or grilled items then Sushi Robata is the way to go. Out of all of them I would say if you are keeping it on a budget Sushi Robata is kinder to your wallet!
Plano and Richardson are the only areas I eat in for Chinese. You have your choice of hotpot which can be fun for a small group at Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot in Plano (Legacy and 75). Basically you choose your veggies, meats and broth. Next door you have a great Sichuan place in Little Sichuan, same shopping center. This is going to be a much spicier fare but well executed. Ask for the white board specials and be specific on which protein you want so they can narrow down the translation. Get items like the cold spicy cucumbers, Dan Dan noodles, Sichuan dumplings, and anything else that looks good. Good first timer dish is water boiled beef. Another I like is Sichuan King in Richardson. The hot pot is great, the dry style hot pot is awesome and the spicy beef hand cut noodles is the only place I have seen in Dallas with that dish.
If you are in the mood for dumplings I would highly suggest Jeng Chi in the Richardson Chinatown (Greenville between Belt Line and Arapaho). Good starter and a specialty is the soup dumplings, these are just about the best rendition in Dallas. All of the other dumplings are very good and run from prtein and veggie to veggie only. Ask the servers which are best sellers!
If you are wanting the typical Chinese dishes then I would suggest going to First Chinese BBQ in Plano (Coit and Parker). Very good BBQ pork and BBQ duck. I know that you are from HK so this is the best we have!!
re: LewisvilleHounder
I don't think of it as particularly emblematic of Texas, but the Sichuan food in the far, far north Dallas area is quite good. We eat at Royal Sichuan quite frequently. The only downside is it's a huge slog to get out that far, but as you're in Plano already, you're pretty close. The food is excellent and I can say that I've never had a bad dish there.
re: Mike C. Miller
Wow, Sichuan! I love that idea. I am just thrill to see all those hot pepper on the dish! I will take my sis there for sure. We both love spicy food and we really don't have a lot of those Sichuan restaurants in Hong Kong (where we are originally from)!
re: LewisvilleHounder
wow, such good suggestions. To tell you the truth, I don't like first BBQ as much now. Their BBQ pork is a bit too dry for my taste. Since I am originally from HK, we usually like our BBQ pork, "half fat, half skinny." I guess I am not totally Americanized yet.
I love Indian and spicy food. So I will try out some of the places you suggested as well. I love Masami too. They do have authentic Japanese food. My sis will appreciate that since she had lived in Japan for 3 years.
Thanks for the great info. I really appreciate your help!
re: abschick
You're right ... it is a bit dry.
From the same people as Afghan Grill, Nora is in a more interesting neighborhood and has a rooftop bar that is the perfect place to be in this lovely weather. It is really all about the kabobs, and the rice they come with is pretty great too.
re: foiegras
So which one do you like better? Afghan Grill or Nora? Are their food totally the same?
re: abschick
Nora ... not sure about the food as it's been a couple years since I've been to Afghan Grill. The food seemed more evolved ... dessert was stronger, rice was better. At both, IMO the early parts of the menu are weak (apps & salads). I think next time I'll dive right in to the entrée ...
re: foiegras
I have to check those places out. I have not been to McKinney for ages!
re: MooTorrent
oh yeah, I almost forgot about Allen! Great place to go shopping and eating...... Thanks!

re: CookingKatie
I saw the Joanthon's Oak Cliff on the TV the other day. I can't wait to try it out.Look like they are famous for their gravy on their sandwiches! Thanks for the recommendation!
re: abschick
That's where he saw them too. :)
I love pepper gravy, but Jonathon's has a chicken base so I can't give you a personal review. They get pretty good marks from what I've seen. Everyone I've seen says that chicken and waffles is their signature dish.
re: CookingKatie
I want to try that too. I wonder if I can "tolerate" the salty with sweet. I always think waffle is on the sweet side and chicken is salty. I hope this mixture is good. I saw it on TV and people were so impressed by it! I got to try it out!
re: abschick
When you put chicken and cream gravy on top, it's basically like a biscuit in a funny shape on bottom. And waffles are so airy that it sorta disappears in my experience.
We eat a vegan version, so my concern if I were eating the omnivore version wouldn't be the savory taste on the tongue but the chicken grease/fat on the stomach. I just don't know how that works with the waffles and that heavy cream. Enough people around here have eaten them to tell you , though!
And they have lots of pictures on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jonathonsoak...
It's worth pointing out (as I was confused by it) that the "Gravy Train" concept of having gravy with every dish was their food court concept and isn't identical to what they do in the Oak Cliff location, which has plenty of non-gravy foods.
re: CookingKatie
What do they put in the vegan version?
Also can you recommend a good dish and dessert at Spiral please?
re: abschick
Oh, they don't make it vegan at the restaurant. We just occasionally make them at home.
I haven't ever had a bad dish at Spiral Diner. The entrees, baked goods... everything is yummy. Sometimes I just get a bowl of broccoli and a dessert. Other times, a wrap or pasta. Others, a blue plate special. They do eggplant very well when they have it. Soy-allergic, an old cowboy who identifies as a "meat and potatoes guy," elderly, children, random friends, gluten-free... everyone who has gone there with me has been happy with getting whatever appealed to them. It really is just a great neighborhood diner.
Stuff to know: you seat yourself, collect your own utensils and condiments, serve your own fountain drinks, and should save room for dessert. :)

You may be used to eating vegan food, but what I found at Spiral as an omnivore was that the only thing on the menu I'd ever truly had was apples and peanut butter. I expanded my knowledge of alternative pastas I'd just as soon not eat. When I went to the FW location, they were out of several things I wanted to order. Don't know if this happens at the Dallas location ...
re: foiegras
That's an interesting experience. I've never been to Fort Worth to compare, but haven't had a similar situation in Dallas.
Hashbrowns, hummus, broccoli, potato salad, many green salads, toast, guac & chips, salsa, black beans, nachos, taco salad, veggie wrap, hummus wrap, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, soup, spaghetti, pasta primavera, brownies, cakes... there's lots that is only coincidentally vegan and could be found at omnivorous restaurants as well.
Maybe the anti-vegan omnivores of my acquaintance are more influenced by Austin than they realize such that none of these were outside their previous experiences. Being out of several menu items would be a huge bummer!
re: CookingKatie
For someone who's used to eating traditional pastas, corn, artichoke, etc. pastas are noticeably not the same, as are baked goods prepared without eggs. Typically the taco salads, spaghetti, hash browns, brownies, etc. I eat are not vegan. For example, a typical taco salad will contain meat, beans prepared with animal fat, cheese, and sour cream.
re: foiegras
I can accede that anyone expecting meat and animal fats at a vegan restaurant would walk away disappointed. And having several menu choices out of stock would be maddening.
However, I've served their cakes to unaware people who raved and wanted to know the recipe and source and had no clue it was vegan and surely didn't find it lacking. And pasta primavera is naturally vegan and would be the exact same nearly anywhere. It seems like we simply disagree on the restaurant.
However, as this thread is asking for authentic choices across many spectrums and Spiral Diner consistently wins awards in the vegetarian category, I think the recommendation can stand on it's own and anyone who finds a menu with broccoli and quinoa beside portabello burgers and pasta primavera should consider that it might be too much for them.
re: CookingKatie
I'm simply pointing out that the foods you're saying are 'naturally' vegan aren't, and that vegan versions of them taste significantly different. Every pasta primavera I've ever ordered has come with a cream sauce ... every taco salad I've ever ordered has come with meat and cheese. Lasagna made without actual cheese and traditional pasta doesn't taste like lasagna to someone who's been eating the traditional dish.
Vegan choices can be few and far between, so I'm glad you like Spiral.
I loved Love & War in Texas in Plano. Their Texas strip and mashed potatoes with cream gravy was a-mazing. I was just there last week when we were visiting. Yum.
Pure Texas. But, in Ft Worth.
re: twinwillow
Thanks for the tip! Loved this ... " If you've always wanted a day out among smoked meat and horseshoes, then it doesn't get any better."
I absolutely love Hillstone on Preston (Addison) - I don't know if that even qualifies as "Texas" food? But it's definitely locally authentic and delicious. Highland Park has got some unique botique shopping as well (albeit expensive) - but always a treat to walk around!

Wolfson High School to honor seniors who died tragically
Updated On: Jun 04 2013 08:23:33 PM EDT
During its graduation ceremony Wednesday, Wolfson High School will honor two seniors who died tragically this school year.
Many students say they're still reeling from the loss of their classmates, 17-year-olds JaNay Jackson and Jordan Davis.
Jackson was sleeping in her bed in August when police say a man who was driving under the influence crashed into her room, killing her. Investigators say Davis was shot and killed at a Southside gas station in November after a disagreement over loud music.
Arrests were made in both cases, but neither suspect has gone to trial yet.
The teens' parents say their children would have been so proud to walk across that stage and get their diplomas.
"It's just going to be an emotional time," said Ron Davis, Jordan's father.
"Tomorrow will be a bittersweet day for our family," said Felicia Jackson, JaNay's mother.
It's a day the families say they always looked forward to, but it just won't be the same.
"The children, that's what really stirs your emotions up because they knew Jordan, they loved Jordan, they played with Jordan, they dreamt with Jordan," Davis said. "And I think when I see the children, it reminds me of his dreams."
"JaNay was looking so forward to her senior year, just being able to graduate with so many of her friends," Jackson said. "And honestly, I personally don't know how we'll hold up."
Jordan and JaNay were classmates. They were both well-liked, and friends and family say they had bright futures ahead of them.
While nothing will come close to replacing the gaps left in their loved ones' lives, Wolfson will be inviting their parents to sit on stage at commencement and giving them honorary diplomas.
"And I just feel real bad that she won't be here to accept her diploma tomorrow," Jackson said. "Words can't express how much we love and miss her. Not a second goes by that we don't grieve this tremendous loss. So I just hope that everyone continues to keep us in their prayers."
"That's the best way that you can grieve, really: to honor your fallen child," Davis said.
Those who went to school with JaNay and Jordan say it'll be tough not having the two with them on their special day. But their memories live on.
"They still talk about them, they still say good stuff about them," former classmate Duquan Banks said. "But we know he's never going to be forgotten and she's never going to be forgotten. And when it's their birthday, it's on the walls and everything."
"All I can think about is how she (Jackson) should be right next to me with her priceless smile accepting her well earned diploma," said Michelle Givens, a friend of JaNay Jackson. "And it shakes me to the terrible reality that she will not get to be there."
The graduation ceremony is at 4 p.m. at the University of North Florida Arena. It's free, but tickets are required.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A jury has been selected to hear the inquest into the death of a suspect while in Milwaukee police custody.
The jury of seven women and two men was selected Monday to hear evidence in the death of Derek Williams.
Williams died in July 2011 after gasping for breath and begging for help for about eight minutes in a police car.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports a pool of 32 jurors was called. More than a dozen said they had heard of the case and a couple said they had formed opinions. Of those picked, five are white, two are black and two are Hispanic.
Special prosecutor John Franke has listed more than 40 people he may call during the expected seven-day trial. The jury's verdict will be advisory.

Sports Coupe
From the Super Mario Wiki
Sports Coupe (known as Sports Coupé in Europe and Australia) is a kart body that appears in Mario Kart 8. It is a yellow and black body, which resembles a sports car. Unlike most other karts, the exhaust pipe is located on the top of the trunk of the vehicle, underneath its spoiler. It offers a boost in speed and weight, but a decrease in acceleration and a large decrease in traction. It has identical stats to the Mach 8, Circuit Special.

Kevin Ogletree decided to forego his final year of eligibility at Virginia and enter the 2009 NFL Draft, but experienced disappointment when his name was not called during the weekend. Now, Ogletree will get another chance to catch on with an NFL team.
Ogletree signed a undrafted rookie free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys and will now fight for a roster spot. He joins former Virginia teammate John Phillips in Dallas, who was drafted by the Cowboys in the sixth round. Ogletree had a breakout season in 2006, but was sidelined for the entire 2007 season with a knee injury. He returned in 2008 and once again emerged as the Cavaliers' top receiver, accumulating 723 receiving yards and pulling in five touchdowns.
Defensive lineman Alex Field and linebacker Antonio Appleby also signed undrafted rookie free agent deals on Monday. Field agreed to terms with the New York Giants, while Appleby will get his NFL shot with the New England Patriots.
Another former Cavalier also signed with an NFL club, though this player made a stop at another university in between. Former Virginia quarterback Kevin McCabe inked a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. McCabe spent last season as the starting quarterback at California University of Pennsylvania in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
We will continue to update you on any new happenings with former Cavaliers signing as undrafted free agents.

The week of March 5, 2012, is crucial for high school students in the Clark County School District. It is when high schools will administer the High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE) in mathematics, writing, reading and science.
Students are strongly encouraged to prepare for the exams and attend school on the test days. Juniors and seniors who have already passed the HSPE in math, science, reading and writing, along with all ninth grade students, should check their school's testing schedule and attendance requirements.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors who still need to pass any portion of the exam – math, reading, (writing – juniors & seniors) or science – are advised to be at school on those test day(s) and ready to go.
CCSD's HSPE campaign will include posters in schools and a ParentLink telephone message.
Students can prepare for the math portion of the test by utilizing a tutorial at mathtest.ccsd.net.
Tutoring for the March administration of the Nevada High School Proficiency Exam in Mathematics is available at several public libraries January 30 – March 4, 2012. Please download the flyer below for dates, times, and locations.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Gas prices are driving major changes to southwest Florida's economy. On Monday evening, southwest Florida drivers were paying about $3.79 for a gallon of regular gasoline. Drivers are telling WINK News that they're thinking twice every time they hit the road.
In just six weeks, prices at the pump have jumped nearly $0.40 a gallon. Three years ago, we saw the pain at the pump when prices peaked above $4. Local drivers have said they're changing their plans and even contemplating changing careers.
"it is scary. I'd like to just take a job working for a company where they supply the truck and pay the gas and take a regular pay check every week. That way I don't have to worry about it because it certainly is hurting," said Gary O'Connor, a local taxi driver.
O'Connor drives a taxi five days a week. He says each driver is responsible to fill up their cab's gas tank after each shift. It means if money isn't made on the road, it's money lost to the tank.
"It's a big chunk out of the pocket after working all day long," said O'Connor.
Marsha Kut with AAA in Fort Myers, said gas prices are speeding towards the $4 mark.
"We always anticipate a rise in mid-summer because of the summer travel but we've seen it rise rather quickly," said Kut.
Around Fort Myers, gas is averaging about $3.83 a gallon. It's why drivers like Kirk Hile are changing driving habits.
"We always did drive slow but we're driving like old people now. Old people are getting behind us and complaining," said Hile.
In addition to driving slow, there are things you can do to pinch pennies at the pump.
"Combine your errands, drive the speed limit and conserve because we might see prices go a little higher," said Kut.
With prices climbing, it has O'Connor watching and waiting and contemplating a new career.
"After Easter, if they continue to rise, it will be pointless to drive. I'll be working for nothing," said O'Connor.
Prices at the pump are up $0.93 cents since this time last year.

Alright, so it might be weird to ask on this forum, but I don't know who else to ask. I am confident you guys know more than I do about sound quality, etc. My question is basically strictly for listening audio quality purposes, would I be better off with some type of DAC or my FireWire Solo?
I don't record music and probably never will. I bought the FW Solo more for hoping to improve sound quality for listening to music instead of just through my headphone jack. It definitely sounded better than just the headphone jack, but I'm wondering if something like this uDAC-2 from NuForce would be even better? http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconudac2/
My setup right now is a 2010 or 2011 iMac (I forget). I only have one FW port and it's an 800. Sucks, I know. Because I wanted to run my external HD on that, but I use a FW 400-800 cable for my FireWire Solo. Then, for speakers, I have a pair of M-Audio BX5a. From the FireWire Solo I run TRS cables to the monitors. It has served me well for a few years but I just wonder if I could be getting any better quality sound from something like that little DAC?
But that DAC looks to only have the red/white cables (RCA?) and my BX5's don't have that kind of input. I read about some RCA to XLR adapter cables, but then the line would be unbalanced vs the balanced TRS cable setup I have now.

Hayley Barna and Katia Beauchamp hope that a physical store will solve the Birchbox conundrum, reports Hilary Stout in The New York Times (3/24/14). Birchbox's inventive idea — selling "vivid pink" boxes of cosmetics samples via online subscription — certainly has caught on. The service now has more than 800,000 subscribers, twice as many as last year, each paying $10 a month. The speedbump is that subscribers who like a sample typically buy the full size "at department store counters or chains like Sephora," not via Birchbox.
Hayley and Katia are thinking that having a store of their own will change this, that shoppers will get the idea that they're supposed to try some and then buy some — from Birchbox. Their new, 4,500 square-foot store, in SoHo, will feature "about 2,000 products for sale … (representing some 150 to 250 brands). It will have a row of vanities for product testing. A BYOB — build your own Birchbox — section will let shoppers fill those pink boxes with samples of their choice for $15. A separate floor will be set aside for classes on makeup, hairstyling," and the like.
Touch screens will also be placed throughout the store, enabling customers "to answer questions about themselves and pull up product recommendations and customer reviews." The store is designed to provide a more complete, "total" retail experience. As consultant Craig R. Johnson notes, the internet "can never match the experience of being there in person." Katia says the store's primary goal is growth, not profitability. "We like the idea of building a store along with the business," she says. It likely will open in May.

Imagine cows fed and milked entirely by robots. Or tomatoes that send an e-mail when they need more water. Or a farm where all the decisions about where to plant seeds, spray fertilizer and steer tractors are made by software on servers on the other side of the sea.
This is what more and more of our agriculture may come to look like in the years ahead, as farming meets Big Data. There's no shortage of farmers and industry gurus who think this kind of "smart" farming could bring many benefits. Pushing these tools onto fields, the idea goes, will boost our ability to control this fiendishly unpredictable activity and help farmers increase yields even while using fewer resources.
The big question is who exactly will end up owning all this data, and who gets to determine how it is used. On one side stand some of the largest corporations in agriculture, who are racing to gather and put their stamp on as much of this information as they can. Opposing them are farmers' groups and small open-source technology start-ups, which want to ensure a farm's data stays in the farmer's control and serves the farmer's interests.
Who wins will determine not just who profits from the information, but who, at the end of the day, directs life and business on the farm.
One recent round in this battle took place in October, when Monsanto spent close to $1 billion to buy the Climate Corporation, a data analytics firm. Last year the chemical and seed company also bought Precision Planting, another high-tech firm, and also launched a venture capital arm geared to fund tech start-ups.

Establishing a Pure (Sachet) water Business in Lagos
(Business Consultant For ACKCITY Enterprises)
It is important to note that most people these days are seeking for business which they can do and yield profits in a short period of time.
However every businessman must note that no business ever comes easy as it may sound. For you to succeed in any business endeavor, you must put in your best into it and do a proper analysis, budgeting, costing, profit etc, before going into any business at all.

What do you need to get started?
Start-up Costs
One automatic sealing machine and one delivering van at 100% utilization will produce 40 sachets of pure water per minute which is equivalent to 120 bags in one hour.
You can produce between 500 to 700 bags with one machine in a day if your operators work for 4-5 hours per day.
If for instance:
A bag is sold for N60 (Factory cost)
500 bags X N60 per bag = N30,000 per day
N30,000 X 28 working days = N840,000
One year = N840,000 X 12= N10,080,000
We used the factory price for Lagos. We have not researched the cost of bags in other states of the country. This information is to help you understand the basis of setting up a pure water factory.
