If you missed any of the Prison Break's series watch this recap!
THE MENTALIST stars Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. Within the Bureau, Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents. However, no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon openly resists having Jane in her unit and alternates between reluctantly acknowledging Jane's usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt, who all think Jane's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases.

(Updates yields and real in 13th paragraph.)
Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil's budget surplus before interest payments narrowed less than expected in November, taking the accumulated surplus for the year to 99 percent of the government's target.
The primary surplus, which includes federal and local governments as well as state companies, narrowed to 8.2 billion reais ($4.4 billion) from 14 billion reais the month before, the central bank said in a statement distributed today in Brasilia. The median estimate from eight economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for a surplus of 7.1 billion reais.
The central bank's pledge to slow inflation to its 4.5 percent target by the end of next year assumes that the government will hit its budget targets this year and next. In its quarterly inflation report, published Dec. 22, the central bank said that Brazil is undergoing a process of "fiscal consolidation."
After interest payments, the budget deficit was 10.2 billion reais in November, compared with 6.3 billion in October.
The central bank expects the budget deficit to narrow to 1.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2012, from an expected 2.5 percent this year, as lower borrowing costs and slowing inflation reduce debt service costs, Tulio Maciel, the bank's head of economic research, told reporters in Brasilia. The 2012 figure would be the smallest deficit since at least 1995.
'Optimistic Hypotheses'
If policy makers' "optimistic hypotheses" do not materialize, the central bank may need to cut short its cycle of interest rate cuts, said Jankiel Santos, chief economist at Espirito Santo Investment Bank in Sao Paulo.
"We don't think that inflation is going to remain low," Santos said in a telephone interview. "It limits the room for a very extensive and prolonged easing cycle."
Santos expects the central bank to cut interest rates 50 basis points at each of its January and March policy meetings, pushing the key rate 10 percent.
Brazil's debt burden fell to 36.6 percent of GDP in November, from 37.4 percent in October, as a weaker real boosted the value of its dollar assets. The central bank expects it to end the year at 36.6 percent, and to fall to 35.7 percent in 2012, Maciel said.
President Dilma Rousseff's 2012 budget proposal, presented to congress in July, targets a budget surplus before interest payments of 139.8 billion reais for the federal, state and local governments, up from 127.9 billion reais this year. The primary surplus was 126.8 billion reais in the year through November, the central bank said.
Weaker Real
The real weakened 5 percent against the dollar in November, the most among seven major Latin American currencies tracked by Bloomberg. A weaker real increases the value of Brazil's dollar- denominated assets in local currency. Brazil is a net creditor in dollars.
Central bank President Alexandre Tombini and Finance Minister Guido Mantega have repeatedly said that Brazil should try to keep spending under control even if the world economy deteriorates.
The yield on the interest rate futures contract maturing in January 2013, the most traded in Sao Paulo today, fell four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 10.06 percent at 11.41 a.m. New York time. The real weakened 1.2 percent to 1.8822 per dollar.
The central bank began cutting borrowing costs in August to protect Brazil from the European debt crisis. The European Central Bank, Australia, Denmark and Norway all cut rates this month.
Annual inflation in Brazil slowed for a second straight month in November, reaching 6.64 percent, in line with the central bank's forecast that inflation peaked in the third quarter. Price growth has exceeded the upper limit of the target range since April. The central bank targets consumer inflation of 4.5 percent, plus or minus two percentage points.
Traders are wagering that Tombini will cut the benchmark Selic rate by 50 basis points to 10.5 percent in January, and to 10 percent by May, according to Bloomberg estimates based on interest rate futures yields.

Yes, Apple has more money than most companies could ever imagine having–and yes, Apple's retail stores may be the biggest success story of the last decade. But for those of us who aren't lucky enough to be swimming in Apple stock options, the big news to come out of their quarterly financial report was that OS X Lion will, in fact, officially launch on the Mac App Store tomorrow, July 20th. Priced at just under $30 (and available only as a download), OS X Lion may very well represent the best value we've ever seen for a full OS upgrade…and we're hopeful that this trend continues. We'll be downloading Lion as soon as it goes live and will be sharing our thoughts over the coming weeks; let us know what you think!

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

Buoyed by All-New EcoSport, Ford India Sales up 14 Percent
Ford India sold 8,771 vehicles in combined wholesales and exports in June 2013
Domestic wholesales up y-o-y 14 percent; Exports up 59 percent
Compact, Contemporary and Capable EcoSport launched at an outstanding value
NEW DELHI, India, 1 July, 2013
– Ford India sold 8,771 vehicles in combined wholesales and exports in June as it expanded its stable of global One Ford vehicles with the launch of the All-new Ford EcoSport.
Ford India sold 7,145 vehicles in the domestic market boosted by the launch of All-new Ford EcoSport, a surge of 14 percent year on year, in a market where macroeconomic factors and high interest rates continue to negatively affect consumer demand. The company had sold 6,267 units domestically in June last year.
Exports rose 59 percent in June to 1,626 vehicles from 1,024 vehicles a year earlier as demand for Ford's India-built vehicles rose overseas.
Ford launched India's most eagerly awaited urban SUV – the All-new Ford EcoSport reinforcing its commitment to a long-term product led growth strategy in India, despite ongoing subdued market conditions.
"The surge in Ford India's domestic wholesales and exports is a strong indicator of customers' acceptance of our quality products with smart features that they truly want and value. Going further with our global One Ford strategy to deliver great products, we've launched the All-new Ford EcoSport at a compelling value for money proposition, offering a great power of choice to customers from several segments," said Vinay Piparsania, Ford India's executive director, Marketing, Sales and Service.
The All-new Ford EcoSport is available in 10 variants, including three fuel-efficient yet powerful engine options and four trim levels. The two-time 'International Engine of the Year' – the three-cylinder 1.0L EcoBoost – debuts in India with the EcoSport, offering consumers small-engine efficiency with the power of a much larger 1.6L four-cylinder engine.
In another first for India, the All-new Ford EcoSport introduces Ford's SYNC integrated communications and entertainment technology. Powered by Microsoft, SYNC gives consumers seamless connectivity on the go. With an eye on world-class safety, Ford is also introducing to India the potentially lifesaving Emergency Assistance system, which uses SYNC and the occupant's paired mobile phone to automatically call for emergency assistance in the event of an accident.
With the launch of the All-new Ford EcoSport, Ford marked the end of the EcoSport Urban Discoveries campaign held in the run-up to the vehicle's introduction. The 'Mumbai Boys' team was declared the campaign's winner, giving its members the unique distinction of owning the very first EcoSport in India.
The launch of the urban SUV EcoSport follows Ford's US$142 million investment to enhance its Chennai manufacturing facility.

Cheese Could Lose Another 5-10¢/Butter Will Stay "Lofty"
The cash block cheese price fell below $2/lb. this week, first time since December 19, 2013, and now even butter may get caught up in the down draft. After reaching the highest level since May 2011, butter dropped Wednesday but was unchanged Thursday. What's behind the fall and how low will prices go?
FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski, said in Friday's DairyLine that the market is "Still trying to figure itself out or trying to fix some of the problems that we had earlier in the year as far as being able to supply the world."
"Demand has dropped," he said, "Courtesy in part to weaker prices internationally and it's starting to spread into the U.S. market." "That's the concern, going forward," he said, although he still believes there's "good underpinning demand that we have to work through."
How low will cheese prices go? Kurzawski looks for "equilibrium within the next 5 to 10 cents to the downside potentially." "But, as we get into the hot weather in the next 30-60 days, that will become more of the talk of the town and if that happens it's going to be hard for this market to fall off a tremendous amount from where we currently are." Kurzawski doesn't see a whole lot more down side for the short term, in other words the next several months, "but as we go into the latter part of the year, depending on how New Zealand and Australia start back up their season and how European milk production and sales go, things could slow down more as we close out 2014."
Will ice cream sales prop up the butter price? Kurzawski said ice cream sales have been really strong so far this year and has been a good boom for butterfat demand. He said a lot of people were caught off guard coming out of the Easter holiday expecting to see cream demand drop off but that hasn't happened yet.
"And, since we haven't seen a real heavy flush of milk production in the Midwest, the Upper Midwest in particular, it remains to be seen if that milk goes into butter production or cream production. Going forward, butter prices in particular, are going to stay lofty for longer than I think people can see at this point," he concluded.
High Butter Price Has Consequences/Ice Cream to the Rescue?
The U.S. butter price disadvantage to most global markets has caused a few international buyers to back off orders, according to USDA's Dairy Market News (DMN). The undertone is mixed. Slower domestic print sales have caused some churn operators to shift production from consumer to bulk supplies. Some manufacturers noted meeting prior export order obligations and began Q3 contract negotiations. Production levels are mostly steady with a few plants churning at slower rates. Inventories are light as some butter makers play catch up on lost rebuilding time in previous weeks.
Western butter production is uneven. Increased ice cream demand is pulling more cream supplies away from churns. Some manufacturers with increasing milk supplies are able to keep up production levels, but are having a difficult time building inventories. Export demand is weaker as U.S. prices are no longer as competitive. Domestic demand for retail is steady and bulk sales are good as end users look to acquire additional supplies. Butter stocks are tighter than is typical for this time of year.
More Milk is Entering the Vat, Anticipation is for Even More
Milk availability varies within the Midwest, according to Dairy Market News. In much of the Midwest, milk supplies are long and milk is readily available for cheese making. Plants looking for extra milk can generally find it, ranging from $3.00 under Class to $1.00 over, depending on location and timing. Expectations are for strong milk availability in coming weeks, comforting both to plant officials and customers.
The first cutting of hay may commence soon in some of Southern Wisconsin, which is also taken as a good sign for milk production in the near future. In contrast, some plants in northern reaches of Wisconsin have experienced daily milk intakes dropping from levels two week ago, with little surplus milk availability. Plants in that area are scraping by to meet sales commitments and are unable to handle inquiries for additional cheese.
Mozzarella demand has been strong and buyers are readily taking what is manufactured. Cheddar interest has increased, especially with prices declining. There are varied plant experiences as to buyers appearing to pace buying needs against anticipated weekly average price movement. Some plants have experienced good sales, even with two weeks of lower price averages followed by this week through Wednesday showing continued price weakness.
Cheese production in the West is uneven. Some manufacturers are running at or near full capacity, while others are balancing milk intakes to current orders. Wholesale prices are lower again this week and buyers are showing increasing interest in building stocks. Export interest has slowed as international prices are becoming more competitive. Cheese stocks are said to be in balance with demand.
Reductions in Milk Powder Volumes to be Major Test in GDT
Next Tuesday's auction will be an interesting test for bearish sentiment seen in the international market over the past few months, according to HighGround Dairy's Eric Meyer. Meyer reports that Fonterra removed a significant amount of whole milk powder (WMP) volume from the upcoming four auctions and reduced their 12 month skim milk powder (SMP) forecast by nearly 10,000MT (6.8%). Favorable winter rains have reduced the risk of drought to begin the upcoming production season.
It is HighGround's view that this latest forecast signals an increase in contract volumes from the global community. If our theory stands, next week's auction could result in the first GDT Price Index increase since early February.
For more details, write Eric at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Slaughter Rates Signal Expansion
So reports the Daily Dairy Report. For the week ending May 3, dairy cow slaughter totaled just 48,626 head. This is 12.9% lower than the same week in 2013 and represents the lowest slaughter for any non-holiday week since June 2011. Weekly slaughter levels below 55,000 generally signal that dairy producers are adding to the herd, and current slaughter rates imply that such expansion has been underway for four weeks.
So far this year, dairy producers have culled 117,000 fewer cows than in the first four months of 2013, a decline of 10.2%. Slaughter levels were record high last year as thin profit margins and high beef prices allowed dairy producers to earn substantial beef revenue while purchasing replacement heifers at a very low net cost. But not all of the culled cows were replaced. There were 20,000 fewer cows in the December 2013 milking herd than there were in January. Dairy producers added 16,000 head to the herd in the first three months of this year.
The next monthly Livestock Slaughter report is out next week, Thursday, May 22.
Virtual Farm Tours to be Presented at World Dairy Expo
Virtual Farms Tours give World Dairy Expo attendees the opportunity to experience a wide variety of farms and management styles, all from the comfort of a chair. These tours are presented by the owners and managers from the operations and include a half-hour pictorial overview of their operation, including general operation information and highlights of exceptional management practices. Time for questions and discussion will follow. This year's operations excel in the areas of water conservation, genetic advancement, adaptation of technology, productive life, robots, environmental awareness, community involvement and sustainability.
The free tours will be presented daily, Tuesday, September 30 through Saturday, October 4 in the Mendota 1 meeting room in the Exhibition Hall. The presentations will be available for viewing on World Dairy Expo's website after the show. Full summaries and details can be viewed at www.worlddairyexpo.com.
Minnesota Dairy Farmers Benefit from New Agreement
The Board of Directors at Minnesota Milk Producers Association has finalized a professional services contract with Midwest Dairy Association. Under this new contract, Midwest Dairy's resources will be utilized to carry out specialized Minnesota Milk needs such as accounting and technology, and current staff will continue to fulfill Minnesota Milk priorities as part of the Midwest Dairy staff.
"We have done significant research on where our organization and our industry has been, where it is today, and where we expect it to be years from now," stated Pat Lunemann, president of Minnesota Milk and a dairy farmer from Clarissa, Minn. "We believe this agreement will strengthen our association and add efficiency in our quest to advance the success of our members."
Members of Minnesota Milk will not likely notice any change in the association. Minnesota Milk and Midwest Dairy will maintain their separate identities and independent missions led by their separate boards. Midwest Dairy is prohibited by law from doing many of the initiatives of Minnesota Milk, in particular policy work and dairy farmer assistance. The roles of each association must continue to be separate and distinctly different, which is why all non-checkoff activity will continue to be financed and accounted for separately.
The model of sharing administrative and staffing services between membership and checkoff organizations is common across commodity organizations in Minnesota. Both organizations share the same future, with fewer dairy farms, and the same dairy farmer funders.
"Dairy farmers deserve the best from the organizations they support," stated Bob Lefebvre, executive director of Minnesota Milk. "With increasing pressures on dairy farmers, we need to be more effective in everything we do for our members. This professional services arrangement will maximize the impact we have to our members without increasing dues, which are the same today as when the association began in 1977."

SAN ANTONIO — This must be looking like a bad rerun to the Dallas Mavericks.For the eighth straight time, the Mavs went up against San Antonio, and for the eighth straight time the Spurs proved they were the better team.Tony Parker, fresh off a six-game layoff to rest his aching body, returned just in time to add more misery to the Mavs and pace the Spurs to a 112-106 victory at the AT&T Center. The loss was the second in a row for the Mavs (36-25) after they had won 10 of 12 games.But even on a night when the Mavs committed just seven turnovers and shot the same shooting percentage as the Spurs, they couldnt come with any key defensive stops when the game was still up for grabs.This effort is good enough to beat a lot of teams, but not them with the way they played tonight, coach Rick Carlisle said. Ive got to look at our team and look at where we are and where were trying to get to.Im disappointed by the results, but not the effort. I thought the effort was good. Weve got one more shot at these guys at our place [on April 10] and well be ready for that.The Mavs hope theyre still in the playoff race then. The Mavs are tied with Memphis (33-25) in the loss column for the eighth and final playoff spot. The way the Mavs stayed within striking distance of the Spurs, they appeared to be ready to fight fire with fire Sunday.Despite not being able to chase the Spurs off the 3-point line for 48 minutes, the Mavs were only trailing 104-99 with 1:19 left following a driving layup by Monta Ellis, who had 17 points and eight assists.But on the next possession, Boris Diaw misfired on a 3-pointer, opening the door for the Mavs. However, the Mavericks failed to box out and Diaw rebounded, and passed to Parker, who knifed through for a layup and a 106-99 lead with 45.8 seconds to go.At that point you have to get a stop ... that was kind of deflating right there, said Dirk Nowitzki, who finished with 22 points and seven rebounds. But I dont even know if we get the ball if we still have a shot to win it because they are so good down the stretch. But that definitely was a big tip we should have somehow come up with it.The Mavs trailed only 48-47 at intermission, but a 30-point push by the Spurs gave them a 78-70 lead entering the fourth quarter.However, whenever it seemed as though the Mavs were inching closer and closer to their I-35 rivals in the fourth quarter, Patty Mills, Marco Belinelli or Diaw would squash the visitors dreams with a 3-point field goal.They made a few more plays than we did, thats what it came down to, Carlisle said. It was just one of those kinds of games.Our shot-making wasnt where it needed to be. We had a good turnover game, we got beat by a few on the boards; it just came down to making plays.The Mavs made 45 field goals to just 39 for the Spurs.Carlisle, though, was unhappy that the Spurs went to the free-throw line 28 times to just 14 for the Mavs.We didnt get the ball in the basket enough and we were unlucky on a few calls that I thought could have gone our way, and its a disappointing loss, Carlisle said. It came down to a few shots and a few calls and a few plays, and its hard.Its hard because our guys really were going at it hard. We just couldnt get over the hump.

text: More Six-Year Olds Suspended for Making Guns with Fingers Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 17 Jan 2013 post a comment For the second time in less than four weeks, six-year old children have been suspended from a Maryland elementary school for fashioning their hands in the shape of gun. The first suspension took place in Montgomery County just before Christmas, and now, two more children have been suspended in Talbot County for "playing cops and robbers during recess and using their fingers to make an imaginary gun." The parents of these kids are understandably outraged, and they are not alone. Maryland school leaders say they know suspensions have been on the rise, and they are trying to reverse that trend. The suspension against Rodney Lynch, the six-year old who was suspended before Christmas, was dropped once his parents appealed the action.

Best Chinese Anywhere in Houston?
- s
- sethnavajo Aug 15, 2008 12:20 PM
I'm new to Houston--have been a NYC foodie for the last 5 years.
Having moved to Houston two months ago, I've been to a few different Chinese restaurants. I've found one that supercedes all others I've been to, not only in Houston, but NYC, San Francisco, and Boston as well: China View on Katy Freeway. It's truly one of the best restaurants in terms of food quality I've been to of any cuisine and any price range. The salt and pepper tofu in particular is one of the best dishes in terms of quality of ingredients, textures, flavors, and inventiveness I've ever had.
I've been shocked to see it so rarely mentioned on this board. Do people agree with my assessment? Disagree?
For those who have been to China View, have you found better Chinese elsewhere in the city and/or country? (Only Shiao Lan Kung and Lee How Fook in Philly equal this restaurant for me regarding Chinese cuisine.)
I agree with you. I rarely make it all the way out to the west side as the Katy Freeway is a disaster. The BYOB policy is just gravy. A good bottle of pinot with the lamb or duck and that's last meal quality right there.
My other fave is Fung's Kitchen on 59. Different kind of restaurant though.
You can't go wrong with either.
Fung's Kitchen
7320 Southwest Fwy Ste 115, Houston, TX 77074
seth, tell me more about china view. there are no reviews of the restaurant on yelp. the reviewers on B4-u-eat are ordering chinese-american dishes like sweet and sour and general chicken. also, so many of the reviews are glowing that it's hard to believe they are all legit.
and what kind of chinese food are you looking for in houston? i take it you've been to chinatown on bellaire already.
Seth, I agree with you! I have recommended China View before and it has fallen on deaf ears. They have an extensive menu, with the "tried and true" entrees and then there are the other entrees that are much more exciting. It is also a gorgeous place. Here is a link:
I am not an expert on the cuisines of the various regions of China, and China View is not a "traditional" Chinese restaurant. Others on this board are much more qualified than I to point to the best Cantonese restaurant, Szechuan, etc. Oh, and I'd LOVE recommendations from all who have such knowledge! (Fung's Kitchen is next on my list--thanks for the recommendation).
What makes China View special is that the chef has an extremely high IQ, and he's innovative. His vegetables are fresh and perfectly cooked, his sauces are flavorful and complex, and his Fried Noodle Bowl in particular is truly a foodie's dream. His salt and pepper tofu, for instance is salt-baked tofu, lightly seasoned with pepper, covered by grilled onions and peppers and served with an apple cider sauce. This is innovative cuisine on par with Indika (which deserves a whole other thread about how lucky Houston is to have such a restaurant).
I guess I never thought I'd find such a culinary genius in the parking lot of a somewhat seedy La Quinta Inn.
re: sethnavajo
What is authentic anyways? China has 1.3 billion people (thanks Olympic coverage!), so the concept of an all encompassing authentic Chinese restaurant won't work. China View reminds me of my last meal I had in Hong Kong, which was described as cutting edge Cantonese. So anyways, don't worry. China View would do well in Hong Kong/Shanghai too.
That being said, I'd suggest avoiding the lunch buffet. It's not bad, but I would guess they added that as a means to attract diners who are used to the traditional (read: Chinese American) restaurant concept.
As for Fung's, if you go for dinner, go for the seafood specials on the front page of the menu, but be warned it is not your average cheap Chinese restaurant. You can spend a lot of money there. On the weekends, they have a fantastic Dim Sum, which I think is the best in town.
re: sethnavajo
Well, its your gushing that is pushing me to go try it! Thanks for the review. I recently moved here too from the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking for these kinds of restaurants!
re: sarvey
I do not recommend the lunch buffet. It is a much tamer version of the food. I would order off the menu. The buffet is okay if you want sweet & sour, general tso's, etc.
This restaurant must have changed its cook. That is, the reviews below were pretty convincing with people who "regularly travel to China" and references to "cutting edge restaurants in Hong Kong" (which definitely exist). The web site was convincing too with an unusually thoughtful comment that Chinese food has a 100 year tradition in the United States (true again) and promising to be able to deliver both that "USA province of China" cuisine as well as cutting edge cuisine.
My family and I have been all over the Far East (first trip to Beijing in 1987) My college age kids, my wife and I were in Houston for the Texas Bowl. We were looking for a fun, low-key place to eat dinner on New Years Eve and this place sounded great.
Well, the place and service met our expectation - funky collection of Chinese antiques. Friendly service. Restaurant was partly full.
Unfortunately, the food was nothing like what was described. The salt and pepper tofu was enjoyable and the house special fried rice was competent. All of the other four dishes we ordered were simply basic ingredients stir fried / drenched in soy sauce. Everything tasted the same. Everything was served in a heap on a standard oval Chinese restaurant plate. Nothing was in the least bit "cutting edge" or "innovative". In fact, the food wasn't even up to the standards of your typical shopping mall operation like Panda Express.
Too bad... restaurants in Taipei, Shanghai and Beijing really are innovative and some are taking Chinese cuisine in some new and exciting directions which are definitely more interesting than a heap of basic ingredients drenched in soy sauce on a plate. We were hoping that some of this would have made it to Houston...

re: djhreg
Yeah, it's gone way downhill in the last two years. Word is Chef Robin returned to China leaving a skeleton crew. Sorry about that.
re: Bulldozer
Good grief! Tell me that is not true! A couple years ago China View took the website down. I called and asked if they changed the web address and was told, very curtly, that the site was gone and they didn't know if it would ever be back up. Recently I saw that it was back again, so I thought everything was back to normal. It's a shame that they didn't take the time to change the site. I have always recommended this place, very highly, to people, and loved it myself. Now I have to find something else that isn't on the SW side.
re: djhreg
Seth, are you Asian by any chance? Are you looking for authentic Chinese or Americanized Chinese? If you are looking for authentic Chinese, head over to Bellaire Blvd on the Southwest side of town and there will be plenty of bona-fide excellent Chinese cuisine from which to choose - where most patrons are of Chinese descent and you will have trouble understanding the waitstaff and vice/versa.
Some standouts in the southwest area:
Shanghai Restaurant
9116 Bellaire Blvd, Suite B
Houston, TX 77036
(713) 771-8082
On the expensive side for Asian, the food here is superb.
Fung's Kitchen:
7320 Southwest Freeway,
Houston - (713) 779-2288
Solid Hong Kong style cuisine. Great dim sum
Peking Cuisine

8332 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX 77074
Where's good Szechuan in Houston? I need to satisfy my capsaicin cravings. Most Chinese joints in Houston won't amp up the heat even if you ask for it. Yes, I know about V's and Nidda's, but this thread is about Chinese food.
Btw, I see several ex-SF Bay Area commenters. If you ever go back there and like spicy food check out Jing Jing in Palo Alto. They have an entire menu page of "don't ask for mild".
re: aynrandgirl
Sichuan Cuisine is outstanding.

re: mgovshteyn
Is that the name of a restaurant?
re: aynrandgirl
Yep that's a restaurant. 9114 Bellaire, in Diho Square near that Welcome Food Center.
re: aynrandgirl
I have to say 888 Chinese restaurant, 403 Winkler drive right off of I-45 South near Woodridge, has the hottest Sichuan dishes I've tried. Be aware they have two menus. One is Americanized and in English and another is in Chinese and has more of the Sichuan dishes. The Sichuan Tofu (Chinese Menu) is the hottest thing I've ever tried. The tofu swims in an extremely spicy broth loaded with Sichuan pepper pods. My whole mouth was numb from the heat. On the english menu, they have Sichuan beef but it's much milder and does not compare to the tofu. You may have to haggle with the waiter to bring you the Spicy Tofu if you're not Chinese or the other insane and authentic Sichuan dishes they have there. Luckily, I go with a Chinese friend who orders for us.
Other restaurants I recommend are the Hong Kong Food Street for good Hong Kong style food (not dim sum) and for fast food, the Chinese Cafe on Bellaire in the old Diho Square is quite good for take out or a quick meal.

re: rayliam
I second this. Great Szechuan dishes. Chen Du chicken is on par with the Heat, but has a very complex taste. Whole Snapper in hot bean paste will knock your socks off. Even their Americanized dishes have more Chinese flavors going on but I tend to stick to the Chinese menu.
I went to Shanghai Restaurant tonight based on the recommendation on this board and it was absolutely amazing. We ordered the stir fried shrimp with X/O sauce (with shell) and it was absolutely scrumptious. The waitress said that salted and peppered pork ribs are very popular and we ordered them but I wasn't too impressed, it was greasy and tasted bland. I wouldn't order that again but I am looking forward to going back and trying more things on the menu. I was very happy with my meal and the service.
re: judithsapar
Was that Shanghai River on Westheimer? That is a pretty legendary place in terms of its friendly owners and long time fans. Their dumplings are good, the rest is average. But having just seen this thread, I have to say I've lived very close to China View for 8 years and have been there many times for meetings and such and the food is nothing special, but at the lunch buffet it is downright awful. The building itself should be condemned with stained and missing ceiling tiles and dirty carpets. When I've been there, there has never been more than a couple of other tables occupied. Yikes that place creeps me out. I don't know why people (including food writers) insist on giving it glowing reviews.

re: Lambowner
No, Shanghai Restaurant on Bellaire. I happen to like the ribs; they're a nice contrast. They're actually more of a Cantonese restaurant than a Shangainese one.

Oh and BTW China View has gone way downhill. If anyone writes glowing reviews, it's because they're doing it off their memory from years ago.

re: Bulldozer
Well, it looks as if China View has finally shuttered. I got a rave review from a relative who recently went to Cafe Taipei on Eldridge in the Energy Corridor. She was particulaly excited because her tea was hot, because everyone else serves it tepid. She also said all the veggies were bright and fresh and the shrimp was big, fat and tender. Anyone else been here? I'm scanning the crowd for you, Doobs. Our choices for Chinese in the area are pretty dismal.

re: Lambowner
Cafe Taipei turned out to be average. I like Chang's in Katy for Americanized Chinese. Always fresh.
re: Lambowner
We've eaten at the Changs on San Felipe at Bering a few times.
Do we know if they are related?
re: DoobieWah
They have 3 locations, Katy, Sugar Land and Heights, family owned. The Heights location is called Eastern Chinese Restaurant.
re: Lambowner
Right. Appears to be unrelated.
Too bad China View, (the subject of the four year old OP), is long gone.
Truthfully, I don't have a favorite Americanized Chinese joint and haven't for a few years. There are several we eat at semi-regularly, but nothing I would urge an out-of-towner to try.
I guess my favorite right now is Red Pepper on Westheimer at Chimney Rock. They have a few flourishes I really like. (House made Chili Oil and their pan fried green beans.)
re: DoobieWah
Certainly not cutting edge, but my favorite Americanized Chinese is Hong Kong Chef on S. Rice and Bissonnett in Bellaire. We just went the other day and got our usual, Shrimp Kew, perfectly fried shrimp in a brown sauce with lots of veggies, their great egg rolls, and the won ton soup, plus extra for leftovers. This is not your usual with one stuffed won ton with a few scallions, but instead full of won tons, pork, and veggies. I've been going since the 1880's, not a typo, and it's the same as it ever was, kitchen up front, spartan dining room in back, with one of the waitresses being a milder version of the Soup Nazi when she's having a bad day. Cash and I think cheques only.
re: James Cristinian
I happened to be in the Heights today after reading the HP feature "Where the Chefs Eat," and and stopped in at Flying Dragon, recommended by one of them. Not great. They had chicken chow mein and I asked them to sub shrimp which they were happy to do for an upcharge. But the shrimp were few and too small to be called popcorn shrimp (I mean tiiiiiny) and came from a freezer bag. The sauce was heavy brown instead of the usual lighter sauce normally served on the dish, and filled with water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The side chicken wing was over-cooked. The lady serving was very nice and a TV and some books kept the other two solo diners (at noon) occupied. Despite all that, it was hot and not bad for what it was. I'm sad because I also read B4-u-eat on this place before I went and there was not a single bad review. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but I'd just as soon move on to the next thing rather than go back.
re: Lambowner
Lambowner, the best Chinese food is going to be on the Southwest side of town. My recs above (Shanghai Restaurant, 9116 Bellaire Blvd; Hong Kong Food Street; Fung's Kitchen; Peking Cuisine) still stand.
You can also try Arco Seafood for good dim sum, House of Bowls for solid Hong-Kong-style Cantonese, Vinh Hoa for good Chinese/Vietnamese, Mala Sichuan for Sichuan cuisine, Confucious Seafood for Cantonese/lobster, Fu Fu has a great $5 lunch special...there are so many choices, all in the "new" Chinatown area on Bellaire near Beltway 8, where you'll find that the patronage is primarily Chinese. Inside-the-loop choices are bound to disappoint.
re: happymmm
While I love Fung's and their Peking Duck, I am intimidated by Chinatown and the communication issues and the shear volume of choices. Not to mention the sensory overload that is dim sum. I need a guide to go in with me and order for me!

I'm creating an archive of the Israel-Hamas War of 2014. It will continue to be here for future readers, even though the articles will probably be gone from their respective websites.
The posts to myself are previously posted articles that tie in, in some way to the current article.
The "article posts" contain the same amount of quoting as the original thread they were in, so no one has to click back to thread unless they want to comment on that referenced thread.
The quotes on the various threads contain as much as possible being quoted, because the web constantly "churns" and loses or deletes articles.
For your reference ... I have my articles tagged with this link, starting approximately from the time of finding the three dead Israeli teens.
I do have another link (it's not completed yet) which contains ALL of the article posts, no matter who they are from.
This will be a working record of the Israeli-Hamas War of 2014.

The fire truck was stolen from a central Oklahoma fire department and was last seen on the H.E. Bailey Turnpike headed toward Missouri. Officials informed Boley Fire Chief Rashawn Jones that the suspect drove the station's engine through a toll gate where he told the attendant he was delivering it to a fire department in Missouri.

Product description
The bestselling author of A History of the World in 6 Glasses charts the enlightening history of humanity through the foods we eat. More than simply sustenance, food historically has been a kind of technology, changing the course of human progress by helping to build empires, promote industrialization, and decide the outcomes of wars. Tom Standage draws on archaeology, anthropology, and economics to reveal how food has helped shape and transform societies around the world, from the emergence of farming in China by 7500 b.c. to the use of sugar cane and corn to make ethanol today. An Edible History of Humanity is a fully satisfying account of human history.

Author information
Tom Standage is business editor at "The Economist" magazine and the author of four works of history, including "A History of the World in 6 Glasses "and "The Victorian Internet. "He has also written for the "Guardian," the" New York Times," "Wired, "and other publications. He is married and has two children.
Review quote
"A fascinating history of the role of food in causing, enabling and influencing successive transformations of human society ... An extraordinary and well-told story, a much neglected dimension to history."--Sir Crispin Tickell, "Financial Times""The emphasis on food as a cultural catalyst differentiates Standage from Michael Pollan, whose plants' eye view of the world keeps the consumables central. With Standage it is not what changes in food that matters, but rather what food changes. And it's not just one food lifting and guiding history, but what Adam Smith might have called the 'invisible fork' of food economics.""--New Scientist""Earliest civilizations appeared on earth when farmers banded together and exploited their excess crops as a means of trade and currency. This allowed some people to abandon agriculture [leading to] organized communities and cities. Standage traces this ever-evolving story through Europe, Asia, and the Americas and casts human progress as an elaboration and refinement of this foundation ... Standage also uncovers the aspects of food distribution that underlay such historic events as the Napoleonic Wars and the fall of the Soviet empire.""--Booklist ""[Standage] shows how one of humanity's most vital needs (hunger) didn't simply reflect but served as the driving force behind transformative and key events in history... Perhaps the most interesting section is the final one, which looks at the ways in which modern agricultural needs have acted as a spur for technological advancement, with Standage providing a summary of the challenges still faced by the green revolution.""--Library Journal""This meaty little volume... 'concentrates specifically on the intersections between food history and world history.' But history isn't Standage's only concern. He takes the long view to illuminate and contextualize such contemporary issues as genetically modified foods, the complex relationship between food and poverty, the local food movement, the politicization of food and the environmental outcomes of modern methods of agriculture ... Cogent, informative and insightful.""--Kirkus Reviews"

Pork earned its nickname "the other white meat" because like chicken, it has a reduced amount of fat compared to beef. Maybe you've wanted to try one of the deliciously lean cuts, but you're not exactly sure what to do with it. Apple and Raisin Compote is your answer. Cindy from Pennsylvania declares her compote a real showstopper when it comes to complementing pork. Add a side of Holushki Noodles and Cabbage, and you have a festive menu.
As an overweight child and teen in western Pennsylvania, struggling with high blood pressure, Cindy became a firm believer that food choices have a huge impact on health and well being. "The support of my mother and a few friends helped me to succeed with a weight loss I have maintained through my adult life," Cindy says. "Helping people make food choices to maintain or improve health has been a long-term goal in becoming a dietitian.
After graduating from Indiana University, Cindy worked in a hospital as a clinical dietitian for 23 years. She found outpatient clinics such as dialysis and cardiac rehabilitation extremely rewarding. "Being able to work with clients on an ongoing basis allowed me to see progress and help with strategies to overcome problem areas. I got to know many wonderful people that were inspirational in their approach to life," shares Cindy.
According to Cindy, the most challenging aspect of the renal dietitian job is helping clients find the balance that will keep their labs in healthy range. "I hate to say you can never eat a certain food! We work together to juggle intake so favorite foods, comfort foods and regional preferences can be included in the dialysis diet." The most rewarding part of the job is seeing a patient's energy level, lab values and outlook on life improve. "I try to remain positive even when circumstances are frustrating or when I'm not achieving the results I'd hoped. I take a deep breath, adopt a slightly different approach and move ahead," admits Cindy.
"We live in a community where our heritage is a primary focus with many religious, regional, ethnic and familial influences. I enjoy learning about my patients' families and cultures, and I think patients have a wealth of knowledge that can enhance variety in the renal diet — if we just consult them. My clinic is starting a new initiative to improve albumins (a measure of nutritional status), and we are asking patients to share favorite recipes for specific protein foods.
When working with her dialysis patients, Cindy says, "I would describe my approach with patients as one that celebrates their accomplishments and provides them with the knowledge and skills to improve problem areas. The most important things patients can do to improve their health are to focus on one problem area at a time and make small, manageable changes to achieve and maintain their goals.
"I have been with DaVita since 2004, and patients have always asked for menus to give them ideas of what they can eat," says Cindy, adding, "Because the renal diet is so challenging, with the help of a valued colleague, I developed a week of dialysis-friendly menus using regional preferences. We expanded it to different calorie and protein levels. This is a wonderful tool to help new dialysis clients to learn they can still have familiar foods and stick within recommended renal diet guidelines.
Cindy reports that there is a wealth of knowledge available in the DaVita network. "Since starting at DaVita, I have been surprised to learn how much impact a team effort can have on patient lab outcomes. When we teamed up 'phosphorus buddies,' patients enjoyed the time and information they shared, and most didn't want to 'let their buddy down.
My DaVita unit is strong because my teammates' approach to patient care, service excellence and fun, is complementary. Shared heritage is a key factor in our worksite becoming another family. Each season brings us new projects, and I love the change from one season to another in western Pennsylvania. A new season is almost like starting a new year!
Looking for something new to try on your dialysis diet? Serve a Pennsylvania-style meal with Raisin and Apple Compote for Pork, accompanied by Holushki Noodles and Cabbage. Traditionally the noodles for Holushki are homemade and dropped from the tip of a teaspoon into boiling water. But time-challenged cooks now use kulski noodles or wide egg noodles. Whichever you choose, enjoy this tasty recipe from DaVita renal dietitian Cindy from Pennsylvania.

5 Things Journalists and Musicians Have in Common
On the surface, the news and music industries seem like completely different animals. With a closer look, though, you can see how the Web has thrown the entire media business into uncharted territory.
1. Radio is to music as newspaper is to journalism. Both forms of media enjoyed their heydays for the greater part of the 20th century. Then, the Internet came on the scene, and they were forced to adapt. Despite the rise in free digital music services, the radio remains a valuable commodity for mainstream artists to become known. In the same way, print newspaper has somewhat phased out, and digital has been thrust into the spotlight, but that doesn't make print without clout.
Yes, history tells us that radio and print newspaper will eventually be relics. (Anyone still listen to their 8-track player while reading a paper delivered by a boy on a bike? Probably not.) Still, these media in their earliest forms have set a precedent – they've required that we attribute palpable value to their products. This sets a meaningful foundation for determining how our culture receives them in the future.

Those who follow me on Tumblr already know, but my Power Supply died today, so until the new one arrives, i am not able to work.

My Lifetime bros/sisters! <3
