Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

German appeals court upholds MS Long File Name patent.
Microsoft's contentious patent describing the mechanism used to store long filenames on FAT filesystems without breaking compatibility with old applications has been upheld by the German appeal court after a prior court decision ruled it invalid. This mirrors a 2006 decision by the USPTO concerning the equivalent US patent.
The German Federal Patent Tribunal claimed that the patent EP0618540 lacked the element of invention in 2007. The Tribunal stated that the work done on the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol, which allows long file names to be used on the ISO9660 filesystem used on CDs, solved the same problem, and since Rock Ridge was developed in 1991, it predates the FAT long file name work.
The appeals court rejected this reasoning due to technical differences between the two systems, stating that Microsoft had to solve new problems that the Rock Ridge work didn't address. In particular, the way long names on FAT were designed so that legacy systems would ignore the new names was deemed to be significant.

There are only a small number of restaurants in town, which serve a range of excellent traditional, Italian and French cuisine. A few shops are found in town and offer equipment for rental. Other activities available include a swimming pool and an ice rink.
Santa Caterina is a charming quiet resort, and is ideal for families and beginners who want to stay away from the more crowded resorts. It retains much of its traditional charm and has some of the most outstanding scenery. The runs are best suited for intermediates, while beginners have a few good runs to choose from and experts will have to do a bit of travelling to find some good off-pistes. the APres Ski is very quiet with limited non-ski activities to choose from. There is also an excellent ski school for beginners.

I got my Colt Mustang in June and had some early feed and extraction/ejection problems with it. I polished the feed ramp, put a spring kit in, and bought another mag. The feed ramp polish and spring kit helped, but with the original mag it still had occasional problems. I bought a new mag and the problems were solved.
The original mag had been in the gun with 6 rounds in it since it was bought, so I guess the spring had lost some strength. I'll replace that later.
Last Saturday I got an extended mag which adds one more round and has the finger extension so that my pinkie is supported.
While I was trying out the Charter Arms Bulldog this afternoon I tried out the new mag. I'm glad that I can say it worked perfectly and even improved my shooting. I'm sure this part came from the finger extension. Here are a couple of pictures with the extended mag in place. Just in case anyone is wondering; the safety is off because I just came back from the range and slapped the empty mag into the empty gun and eased the slide forward to make the photos. After it is cleaned and loaded the safety will be on.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Michael Young was a home run shy of the cycle and Endy Chavez drove in four, leading the Rangers to a 13-4 rout of the Orioles in the opener of a three-game series.
Chavez hit a two-run homer and a two-run double, while David Murphy added three hits and Adrian Beltre homered to help the Rangers snap a two-game slide.
Texas did most of its damage early in the game, scoring six runs against Orioles starter Chris Jakubauskas (2-2), who started the third inning but couldn't get an out.
But the Rangers kept the pressure on and ended up with 18 hits, 10 of which went for extra bases. It was plenty of support for starter Colby Lewis (8-7), who limited Baltimore to three runs in seven innings.
"It's only a matter of time before we had a kind of a game like tonight, where we're going to come out and score a lot of runs," Lewis said. "That's just what our offense is capable of pretty much every night."
Mark Reynolds went deep twice for the Orioles, continuing his home run binge. He hit two Saturday against Atlanta, and blasted a two-run shot Sunday. But his power display couldn't keep Baltimore from losing for the sixth time in seven games.
Reynolds gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead in the second inning, when he crushed a belt-high fastball deep to left field with Vladimir Guerrero on base.
But the Rangers charged back, taking control by spraying a series of extra- base hits around their home park.
Young began the bottom of the second with a double to deep center, later scoring on Murphy's base hit. Yorvit Torrealba then doubled to deep center to bring in Murphy, and Chavez followed by ripping a low-and-inside breaking ball down the right field line for his third homer of the season.
Texas resumed its offensive onslaught in the third, which Josh Hamilton began with a single. Jakubauskas then delivered an 0-1 fastball on the inner part of the plate -- but also just above the knees -- to Beltre, who slugged it over the wall in left.
And that was it for Jakubauskas, who was pulled for Alfredo Simon after throwing 45 pitches, too many of which were ineffective against the Rangers' potent lineup.
"Real easy to jump on stuff when it's right down Broadway, thigh-high," said Jakubauskas. "I had a little bit of trouble getting the ball down tonight."
But Simon didn't fare much better. Singles by Young and Murphy set up Chavez's two-run double, which made it an 8-2 game, and Young tripled in Beltre in the fourth.
Young's first chance to complete the cycle came in the sixth, when he hit a fly ball to center field. But it was caught well short of the wall and he didn't get another opportunity -- Mike Napoli pinch-hit for him in the eighth inning.
While Young didn't complete that feat, the Rangers continued to add on runs. Hamilton hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth, and Nelson Cruz and Murphy hit consecutive doubles to begin the seventh. Pinch-hitter Craig Gentry later added a sacrifice fly of his own in the seventh, and Texas completed its scoring with Cruz's RBI single in the eighth.
The display of offense overwhelmed the Orioles' pitching staff, and Baltimore's lineup couldn't keep up despite three home runs. Following Reynolds' second-inning blast, J.J. Hardy hit a solo shot in the seventh, and Reynolds hit his second of the game an inning later. However, the Orioles had just three other hits.

BuzzFeed's "Apps for Women" Is Degrating

I left with visions of a mixed-media hangover and the possibility of waking up with a strange piece of art over the couch dancing in my head.
"Wreck," at the Rectangle ArtSpace, was the least-hyped stop on the evening's itinerary, quite literally living up to its billing. Organized by "curator" Tall Rickards, the event seemed like an outtake from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with people playing hopscotch in the parking lot to avoid stepping in a vomit bomb and dodging a skateboard kamikaze sporting rose-colored beer goggles. And although I arrived late and wove through a couple of fights while inside in the quest of the alternative, I had difficulty accessing the artwork in this dimly lit rabbit's warren, which was more about the rave than the art when I visited.
When I went back to interview the organizers a couple of days later and get a better look at the work, most of it had been taken down, even though "Wreck" was supposed to be up through the 31st of January. My parting glance at Trickster came when I walked into a room full of people working on computers in what is to be the art space, which I was now being told officially opens in March. My observation to the organizers, who seemed earnest in their intent and apologetic during the interview, and who saw me off in a very civilized way, is to remember that our species is often defined by those who study Trickster as "the animal who laughs because it hurts."

With this season's rains bringing temporary relief to the drought many people are beginning to lament the gardening that they didn't do this year.
With such extreme water restrictions still in place, most of us still see landscaping as a risk instead of an investment. Why garden at all when there is a chance that we may be forced to let everything die? Why not wait until it seems more sure that we can water?
Well, for several reasons. First of all, it takes several years for perennials and shrubs to get established and even more for trees, all of which will make your outdoor living space much less hot, dry and dusty, so you might as well start now. Charming outdoor spaces significantly increase both the curbside appeal of your house and the resale value and you are not going to achieve that without some kind of established garden. Secondly, with proper xeric plant and tree selections, the amounts of water your yard will use is only a small percentage of your overall household water usage.
Thirdly, and here is the clincher, with proper planning you will never have to let your plants die, no matter how bad the water restrictions get, because you can be using all water that is not from the city tap. The most obvious way to start this is by harvesting your rain water. Rain barrels are a start, and that water can be used manually. Cisterns are getting more popular, and are not as complicated to install and connect to your irrigation system as you might think. Right now 10,000 gallon cisterns all over the Santa Fe area are full and refilling with every major storm and cistern owners are happily irrigating away. Even if it doesn't rain, a cistern will give you the means to buy water for your garden from sources other than the city of Santa Fe.
Of course, The main reason to install a garden and landscaping at you house is that you will greatly enjoy it, each and every day.

So the dealer and the user manual sez I need to use 87 octane for my new non-turbo Subaru. Minimum octane here in CO is 85. I have heard that the altitude here makes 85 behave the same as 87 at sea level. Bullcrap? Do I really need to use mid-grade fuel here at 6k feet or would that just be wasting money?

The December 30 episode of Meet the Press was, of course, devoted to discussion of the "fiscal cliff." And NBC veteran Tom Brokaw was on hand to recycle some of the most tiresome talking points about wealth and taxes.
Tom Brokaw and the Not-So-Rich Wealthy
John Boehner–Philosopher?
Politico Reveals Shocking Economic Truths
CBS, Cliff Jumping and Your Family's Tax Burden
When a Tax on the Rich Is Actually a Tax on the Rich
Meet the Press hosted what David Gregory dubbed a "special economic roundtable" on December 2 that included "CNBC's dynamic duo," Maria Bartiromo and Jim Cramer. But Bartiromo's comments about tax increases for the wealthy needed a factcheck. She started by making a familiar conservative point about the so-called "fiscal cliff"– that the White House talks about ending tax cuts for the wealthy, but will not talk about spending cuts: And the fact is that I find it extraordinary that we are zeroing in on this discussion only about taxes, and we do not have this kind of elaborate discussion when […]

Torrey Pines ready for Invitational
By Dave Schwab and Robert Lane
Two thousand and eight marks the 40th straight year that the PGA Tour will grace La Jolla's oceanside Torrey Pines Golf Course.
The 17th annual Buick Invitational will be held Thursday through Sunday, Jan. 24-27, featuring a field of 156 players vying for $5.2 million in prize money: $936,000 going to the victor.
The prestigious golf tournament has come a long way over the years in terms of both prize money and stature. When the tournament first moved to Torrey Pines in 1968, Tom Weiskopf captured the crown, pocketing $30,000 of the $150,000 total purse.
On the surface, this year's Buick Invitational looks very much like those of the recent past. Tiger Woods, the heavily favored reigning champ, makes his season debut. Phil Mikelson and other local favorites will be in attendance, and the course has been prepared. But there is a major difference this year. That "major" is the U.S. Open.
The non-profit group "Friends of Torrey Pines" had the vision of transforming the South Course into a U.S. Open site. That vision was realized in 2002 when the city agreed to a lease with the United States Golf Association to host their flagship tournament here. The agreement included a rental fee of $500,000 and merchandising rights, as well as $700,000 for public safety and further renovations to the course.
The U.S. Open will be held this June, but its effect on the annual Buick tournament and the site has been anything but minor. The new parking lot is probably the first thing you notice upon arrival. The uneven cracked pavement has been replaced with an ergonomic, well-designed parking area. As you enter the facility, the landscaping and gardens are in full bloom. The clubhouse, which has had its share of criticism, has been refreshed with paint, and a clock tower donated by Rolex has been placed between the two practice putting greens.
You can bet that the clock tower sporting the Torrey Pines name will see plenty of television time during both events. The Buick will be the first PGA tournament of the year to be broadcast by network television. Its date falls during the week between the NFL's championship games and the Super Bowl. With no NFL games on that weekend, the tournament is sure to receive great ratings and bring lots of attention to the course and the city.
Also sure to bring attention is the great field of players expected. Each will play one round on the South and North Courses on Thursday and Friday. After Friday's round, the field will be cut to the lowest 70 scores and ties. The final two rounds will be played on the South Course on Saturday and Sunday.
The tournament has attracted many of golf's greatest champions over the years: Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Jose Maria Olazabal, John Daly and Tiger Woods, to name a few.
Last year, Tiger Woods became the first player in Buick Invitational history to capture five tournament titles. He earned a record $936,000 and added to his record amount of $4,793,000 in 10 tournament starts. Wood's two-shot victory of 15-under par 273 was the 55th of his PGA Tour career. Woods also won the Buick Invitational in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2006.

My Three Favorite 2013 Album Releases – Elton John [VIDEO]
Elton John, right off the bat stating this in regards to the new release, "I needed to strip away the excesses and get back to the core of what I do as an artist."
Elton John, right off the bat stating this in regards to the new release, "I needed to strip away the excesses and get back to the core of what I do as an artist."
We might not hear much rock in the Top 40 these days, but the genre can still pay pretty well if you're lucky enough to have the right audience. Just ask Paul McCartney, Elton John and Bon Jovi, all of whom cracked Forbes' most recent list of the highest-paid musicians on the planet.
Jack White has the blues again, and this time, Elton John fans will reap the rewards.
It's easy to complain about singing competition shows like 'American Idol,' 'X Factor' and 'The Voice.' They value karaoke-style singing over performing one's own material, they favor pop flash over personal grit and they've spawned dozens of similar-sounding artists. But when Elton John looks out over the would-be pop stars on TV, he just feels pity.
As the casting drags on for the Freddie Mercury biopic, a feature film about another '70s gay British superstar just landed its lead. Tom Hardy, who played Bane in 'The Dark Knight Rises,' will portray Elton John in the movie 'Rocketman.'
Can you feel the love tonight? Elton John is feeling close to a billion dollars' worth.
Elton John -- "dull?" David Bowie -- an "amateur?" These were the opinions of the BBC before the singers became famous, according to newly discovered notes that will be used in an upcoming documentary.
It almost seems too easy to call 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' Elton John's masterpiece, but it's hard to argue against it. Released on Oct. 5, 1973, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' was the second studio album he put out in 1973, and his seventh in five years. Oh, and it was a double album.
Elton John's upcoming tour stops in Russia are still a few months away, but the controversy surrounding his arrival already appears to be reaching a fever pitch. Already under fire from a Russian parents' group that's calling for the concerts to be canceled because of his sexual orientation, John is now being called "the devil's work" by a leader of one of the country's Islamist sects.
What's left for Elton John to prove? The guy is a knight of the round table. He's sold approximately six gajillion records. He's got a live residency in Las Vegas. Hell, he's even paid tribute to Liberace on the Emmys!
Roger Pope was one of Elton John's early bandmates, playing drums on the piano man's early demos and later going on to tour and recording six albums with him. The Whitestable, U.K., native died on Sept. 17 at the age of 66.
Russia's recent spate of anti-gay legislation has provoked a boycott among a growing number of celebrities and entertainers, but Elton John won't be adding his name to the list.

low skill level play here but I have done extremely well as akali against wukong. The second you know he has used decoy lay your W down behind it(or where ever you think he is running too) for the slow and he won't be able to run out of range of your R fast enough, at level 6 with ignite this turns into a free kill(maybe not if he has alot of MR runes I don't know) if you have the ignite mastery that gives +10 Ability power when ignite is on cool down(and you know to how to use Akali's full combo - Q, wait for cool down, R, AA, Q, R, AA, R)
do it
I've had success with Garen against Wukong - the key is being quick enough to activate your Q when he jumps you, so that when he does, and tries to Q you (maybe he will) you'll silence him, preventing his Decoy to spin to win long enough that he won't try it that many times after.
he rinse and repeats only to realize he has no mp and then u go take his stick and bash him on the head

"How I finally learned to sample before buying"
An outline of the effect of polical machines on American cities Atlantic City in particular, from the Civil War to present times. Atlantic City is an excellent case study since the original Sin City was created on a desolate barrier island off the coast of New Jersey starting in the 1870s. Amidst some historical details, the author indulges in several treatises about american life: vice, corruption, political machines' exploitation of minorities and the working class, etc...
The only connection between this book and the HBO series of the same title is just that. This book's thin outline is the frail structure on which HBO drapes imagined events and characters. By itself the book might be interesting but it is undermined by an atrocious reading. They apparently recorded the narrator's first encounter with the book and the misplaced emphasis, swallowed words and general sense of confusion are blatant. The producer and director have failed the listener. Listen to the sample.

Best Chinese Banquet-Style food in SF Area
My parents' 50th wedding anniversary is coming up later this month, and they want to celebrate with a great Chinese dinner. Cost is no object (they want shark's fin soup, etc), and it would be for one table of 8, so it's not a banquet per se, but we'd like banquet type food.
We have a slight preference to stay within the SF city border, but if the food is definitely better, we would definitely be willing to venture to the Millbrae and Daly City areas. We would definitely want to go to a restaurant that takes reservations, as we don't want to wait for a table.
On the "usual suspects" list in SF I have R&G, Great Eastern, and South Sea Seafood Village. South of SF I have Fook Yuen, Koi Palace, The Kitchen, and Mayflower (former HK Flower Lounge?). I haven't been to any of these places for at least a year or more, so I'd like to know what the current opinions area. And if there are some "must have" special dishes, please let me know. I'm not looking for great value, I'm looking for great food! And, hopefully, a decent atmosphere.
In the city it's definitely R&G. Outside I'd rate Koi Palace as #1 (they'd love you if you order shark fin, etc.). Fook Yuen has gone down hill. The Kitchen is excellent, although I have heard rumblings about service problems. The place can also use a little spiffy up. You may also want to consider Zen in Millbrae.
Here's a recent Koi Palace review with BJOTW and shark fin.
re: ML8000
It's funny, I think the last time I was at KP was a few years ago for another dinner w/my parents where we had the BJOTW. It was good, but honestly, I don't know what the fuss is all about. It's kind of like they throw in everything that is 1) expensive and 2) has some perceived medicinal/health value, cook it for hours, and voila! My dad did enjoy it though.
What we didn't enjoy was being seated at a lousy table and sitting on folding chairs. I don't expect great ambiance at a Chinese restaurant, I'll settle for decent and clean, but sitting on folding chairs when you're spending big $$s for Chinese food is plain tacky.
BTW, I called KP and they said I could reserve a private room for one table, but the minimum is $800. On their website, they don't even have a banquet menu for $800, so I have no idea how they come up with that "minimum". Should I request a table near the bar in the back as Melanie suggests?
re: rcinsf
$800? Wow...that's a lot. I think R&G is half of that but not sure if you can get BJOTW. Any way, whatever places makes the parents happy is probably the best choice.
re: rcinsf
It's easy to spend $800 if you order the $88 per person Japanese abalone set for everyone and then add special teas and alcohol on top of that. You might as well take it in food and drink then have to pay the difference as a service charge for use of the room. Has anyone tried a private room at KP? Hopefully it's quieter, as the main dining room is noisy, especially on a weekend.
Koi Palace, hands down.. It's 20 minutes out of the City, but orders of magnitude above anything in the City. One must is roast suckling pig.
In the City, I prefer Great Eastern over R&G because they are more consistent across the menu and across time. At R&G you may get one great dish and then one clinker. Or a dish that's great one day may be mishandled another day. They've even been known to muff their signature dish (pepper-salt crab). It happened to me once. At Great Eastern you really don't have to "cherry pick" the menu.
But go to KP. It's not as expensive as some people seem to think. It's cheap enough that I got the cheapskate company I used to work for to hold my retirement banquet there. Koi's banquets run from $278 to $688. With eight, you might as well order a banquet and have more leftovers to take home.
I'll join the crowd and vote for Koi Palace, which I'm sure doesn't add anything for you. My second place vote, though, goes to Zen Peninsula. And definitely Fook Yuen is one of those places that has passed its prime.
It looks like KP is the "consensus" pick. I don't think we'll do the private room since we probably won't order the special abalone banquet and aren't big drinkers. I just hope we get a decent table. And maybe we'll do dinner another night at Great Eastern since I haven't been there in years and it sounds like the food is good. Since no one mentioned South Sea Seafood Village I assume it's not on the same level as R&G and Great Eastern.
Thanks for the 411!
re: Melanie Wong
Maybe we should have another chowdown there -- it's fallen off the radar in the last few years.
re: Melanie Wong
Here is a recent report from Steve Timko
I have been there for lunch a couple of months ago but it was not a special order meal. Just something very simple.
In the past you have to pick and chose your self the menu. The chef does many dishes well and some great, but you have to know what he does well.
It's been a few years since i was there, and I may even have the name wrong, but I believe the Empress of China (the place that you get into an elevator to get to) had a nice banquet-type menu. I know it had great service; I'm not competent enough to speak to the quality of the food. But it did have a wonderful view.
re: FriedClamFanatic
Empress of China used to be one of the places to be back in the 80s-90s, before Koi Palace and all the places in Millbrae/SM and others started popping up. A reason they were so popular was because they were big enough to hold large parties.
I had quite dreadful dim sum at Mayflower recently, which was disappointing after fond memories of years ago.
At 10:30, it was full, chaotic, we were crowded in by the tanks and stacked chairs for half an hour's wait. Even after being seated, nothing was done to accommodate two children under 2 (we asked repeatedly for a high chair). Only trays on the weekend. I'm trying to remember any of the decent dishes but failing. Not expensive, but not good.
No one mentioned East Ocean in Emeryville! I have to confess we haven't been there in a year but we had our wedding banquet there and it was so good that my cousin had hers there too. Also, beautiful dining room with view of SF.
By the way, I know shark fin is still considered by the old school Chinese to "make" a good banquet but it's really not ecologically thoughtful to eat it -- the farming of the shark fins is quite a horrific industry and sharks are becoming an endangered species (probably another reason Chinese love to eat it). At my banquet we had seafood tofu soup instead and personally I thought it was more flavorful.
Just wanted to report back on our dining experience at KP. Overall, the dinner was just ok. We ended up ordering a la carte since we had only 6 adults and 2 children. We did not order any dishes in advance, so we had to "settle" for the standard shark's fin soup. At $30 per bowl ($180 for six) it left a lot to be desired. While there was a good amount of shark's fin in each bowl, the soup base had very little flavor, and the addition of vinegar and pepper did little to enhance the flavor. If I hadn't known the cost, I wouldn't have finished my serving. The peking duck two ways was ok; most of us thought it was rather greasy. We also had the boiled shrimp, which my parents liked, although I thought the shrimp were so small that it wasn't worth the effort to peel each one for a tiny bite. The steamed fish was a bit overcooked, and the meat was "coarse", not delicate, for whatever reason. We guessed that the fish was rock cod or something similar. The waiter recommended the "coffee" spare ribs, which were a specialty of the house. While they were a bit different, they certainly were nothing to get excited about.
The only real highlight was the abalone, which was very tasty and tender. At $36 per serving, it certainly should be something to remember, and it was.
Overall, it was not the meal I had hoped it would be. I doubt I will return, but I'm sure KP won't mind. Even in this recession, the place was packed.
re: rcinsf
How disappointing, esp at that price point. I've been following this thread with interest, although looking for a more modest meal.
My cousins agreed to a Chinese banquet for Christmas, and I offered three suggestions within their parameters. Koi Palace was one of the options until I realized how stressed I felt even considering it. The food, while occasionally stellar, has always been erratic, coupled with service problems, noise, and two toddlers...
We ended up at Kirin out on Geary, a homey, unpretentious place I first went for Limsterfest six years ago. Six adults and two toddlers shared the $238 meal with lots of leftovers.
Highlights for me were the same as then--a mountain of rainbow raw fish salad and chicken stuffed with sticky rice. Bitter melon soup made quite an appearance in a giant steaming melon; it was mild but soothing, enough to feed a small village. Minced squab in lettuce cups (or lettuce sandwiches, as we told the babies) was tasty and crunchy, although I prefer seafood. Bok choy with black mushrooms was glorious.
Peking duck was not a great rendition, except the buns kept the twins happy. We swapped out a whole fish for Dungeness crab noodles, which everyone else liked more than I did (huge and flavorful but a little mushy). Overall, a very successful night out for $300.
You could certainly order a la carte instead or get less food than we did. The selling point of the banquet menu was a significant savings in time and decision making. Once we sat down, food started arriving. We were not the only family with small children taking advantage of this.
Service was wonderful, clearing plates, bringing chilled glasses for wine, noticing I was cutting mushrooms with a spoon to share with my cousins and bringing a knife, unasked. When we discussed my aunt's allergy to scallops, our server brought her a cup of the house soup with tofu instead.
BTW The other option we'd considered was R&G. But the emphasis on seafood with my aunt's restrictions and more formal setting are probably best enjoyed without so much family pressure.
re: susancinsf
Normally the stuffed boneless chicken is ordered ahead (24 hours ahead). A great dish on a winter night. We had one for Christmas Eve dinner.
Good luck in getting one.
re: Windy
Kirin is very good. It fills a nice niche. Less formal as you mention, basic but clean environment and the food is prepared very well. I don't recall one bad dish from going in Feb. I think it doesn't get as much mention because of the location and it's not a splashy dim sum emporium type place. The only big downer is that parking can be a major hassle.
re: ML8000
For what it's worth, we got one parking spot in front and one across the street. Of course it was 5 p.m.--much easier than 7:30.
We did order the banquet ahead. I think the chicken stuffed with sticky rice is a pre-order. One day maybe Yimster will tell us how they get the bones out and then put it back together in one piece.
The rainbow fish salad along with a rainbow chicken salad are on the regular menu.
ML have you had other vegetables at Kirin? The bok choy and black mushrooms was so good, I regretted not ordering others.
BTW the place was packed by the time we left.
6135 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121
re: Windy
I don't recall what we ordered for veggies..I think snow pea shoots and something else. I just remember all the dishes were very even, i.e., not the usual drop-off of one or two mediocre dishes. We had the stuffed chicken...not a fan personally, not into sticky rice.
Yeah, the place definitely gets packed. The people loitering at the door waiting for a table can get annoying if you're seated there but it is a clue the place is good. Jumbo on Noriega use to have that kind of "door rush" 10 or so years ago.
re: Windy
I have seen this done in the past for people who write for a living and no one yet has been able to write it down. So it not a dish for beginners and not easy for well seasoned cookers. If it was easy it would be in more places.
Most time people just want to eat it not make it.. Lot time learning how to make. I am not saying I can make this dish. I ate out on Christmas Eve.
By the way if I admit that I could I would be swamped with requests and I am retired from cooking.
re: rcinsf
Koi Palace Restaurant
365 Gellert Blvd, Daly City, CA 94015
Koi Palace is very good, but I don't think it's the best banquet place for an event such as this. The noise level gets to be so high, it may be a distraction.
Mayflower and Fook Yuen have gone down hill, they're not horrible, but you can find better just further down El Camino.
I would highly recommend Asian Pearl (same owners of the Kitchen, just a little nicer). My sister had her wedding rehearsal dinner there and the banquet food and service were excellent. They have a private area but is limited to no more than 40 people I believe. If it exceeds 40, you will be on the main floor, but the staff will use standing blinds to section off your party.
Another choice is Zen Peninsula. I've had great experiences with their dim sum and dinners.
If you have the time, try out Zen and Asian Pearl and see if it suits your tastes and expectations. Otherwise, you really can't go wrong with the suggestions already made by the other Chowhounds.

text: The argument, which I've seen regularly, that public sector workers are taxpayers too, so that's all OK, simply doesn't make sense. Every public sector worker is a burden on the finances of the nation, regardless of their job, and the amount they return via tax doesn't make up the amount they take in salary and pension. If it were possible to make up the shortfall with public sector workers' taxes, then why doesn't the government just employ everyone?

When citing a source in the text, please add a note (which the editor will later link to the appropriate source in the list of references following the article). The note should be a number within brackets (starting at [1] and increasing sequentially by one for every subsequent note). If the citation is a direct quote, the note should follow the end of the quote after the quotation mark but before any punctuation. When possible, it is good practice to mention the source (usually by author and/or title) in-text to explain the context of the citation.
Each note should have a corresponding end note at the end of the article which details the source used. If the source is used multiple times throughout the article, the subsequent citations can be truncated to the author and/or title (preferably both). If a source is used twice in a row, each subsequent note can instead list ibid. until a new source is used. Excessive use of ibid. should be avoided as much as possible.
When giving the full citation for a source used for the first time, please use the formats listed below.
Authors, translators, and editors should be listed in a Last Name, First Name, Middle Name/Initial format. When listing multiple authors, list the first author as Last Name, First Name, Middle Name/Initial and all subsequent authors with their First Name written before their Last Name. If there are more than three authors, the first author is listed as normal followed with et al.

The adaptive and constantly mutating nature of image macros makes it incredibly difficult to cite academically. Citations seek to freeze a source in time to provide a paper trail for a paper that was created in a specific space and time; image macros on the Internet defy stasis and constantly change into new forms. When citing specific memes, please provide a URL and the date accessed.
To prevent broken links in the future, the CGP may choose to host a copy of the image if deemed that an image may have a short shelf-life on the Internet. If talking about an image macro in general (such as a genre), please provide a URL that you feel gives an "ideal" example of both form and content. Most image macros that achieve memetic quality tend to acquire a 'title' (e.g., Good Guy Greg, Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, High Expectations Asian Father). We recommend using the title if possible with the Meme Title, though if the author wishes to differentiate between mutations of the meme, an appropriate tile made be used instead.

To reiterate from the Journal Contribution Guidelines:
"Good judgment is required by the savvy researcher to determine whether or not a person has made proper consent in making anything on the Internet private. To use a contemporary example, a tweet written by someone on Twitter's platform may reasonably be considered public, while a direct message made through Twitter's platform may reasonably be considered private. Tweets responding to other tweets (especially if the tweet starts with @somebodyelse) may be considered private by the Twitter user and should be contacted for its use.
"Just like other types of research, proper consent and permission is important in maintaining ethical standards. Proper consent should be written out as a consent form and signed by the person who is contributing research information. Any subject or informant in the research should have clear understanding of how the information or data they provide will be used and who will be able to see it. Safeguarding the privacy of those who participate in research is of the utmost importance. For more information, please consult the University of Washington's Human Subjects Division."
When citing a social media conversation that is public, please take a screenshot of the conversation in full if possible when you first access it (and further screenshots for subsequent additions to the conversation if applicable to your research). The CGP would like to provide screenshots of public social media conversations cited in research for those who wish to follow up on the primary sources.
Author's name (formal name if available; username otherwise). Social media platform. URL or permalink if possible, date published. Date accessed: date.
Alexander, Leigh. Twitter, 30 May 2013. Date accessed: 30 May 2013.
Because of the sensitive nature of Internet security, no further information such as the date of the conversation or the platform or specific service used should be listed, either in-text or in the bibliography/works cited list. This is to minimize the amount of targeted hacking that might occur due to the private nature of the conversation. In every instance, try to only use information that is available publicly and always get consent from the person when using information from a private conversation.
If you are using a private conversation and the source wishes to remain anonymous, no bibliography entry will be necessary, though in-text citation of the fact that (a) the information you are giving came from a private conversation and (b) the source wishes to remain anonymous should be explicitly stated.
Author's name (formal name or username if consent given). Private conversation.
Doe, John. Private conversation.
MultiMarkdown (MMD) is a simple markup syntax used to provide quick formatting instructions for text. If you choose to use MMD for submissions to the Journal, please save the text in a simple text file (Notepad for Windows; TextEdit for Mac OSX) and use the following MMD syntax for basic formatting. Simple text files with MMD markup for formatting greatly expedites the process editors go through in making the text suitable for viewing on the web. As a basic rule of thumb, MMD markups act as tags (similar to HTML) where the markup syntax encloses the formatted text.
The following are the most common uses of formatting in submissions; the MMD syntax is shown in the first example; the following example shows how it would appear on the webpage.
**bold words**

Flash Floods Inside and Outside of |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park
Back to all news
Date: 9th January 2014
We experienced some flash floods inside of the park, specifically at De Hoop entrance, Akkedis Pass and downwards from Halfmens pass to Oena mine.
Park officials had to wait between three hours for the water level to drop in order to get back to the park. They manage to get back but arrive very late at night. The park is still accessible to visitors.
Nearly 15km from the Helskloof gate another flash flood was evident but was cleared by the mining company Trans Hex in order for motorist who was stranded on both sides of the road pass through.

The War On Drugs have come a long way since Wagonwheel Blues, their debut album that was the first and last to include Kurt Vile. While the latter has gone on to achieve solo success, Adam Granduciel and his Drugs have found similar fortune, releasing their third album to critical and audience acclaim. With Granduciel channeling the era of Dylan our generation was denied, it's music that makes you crave a car and a smoke and a long drive.

Can Patients Help Ensure Their Own Safety? More Importantly, Why Should They Have To?
by Bob Wachter on October 14, 2009 in Ambulatory/Primary Care, Health Policy, Hospital Care, Medical Ethics, Patient Safety/Medical Errors
Sticking with my recent hand hygiene theme, an interesting study came out last week demonstrating that outpatients were willing to help audit their providers' hand hygiene practices. The patients felt that snooping on their docs didn't poison the physician-patient relationship. Moreover, their observations were accurate and the program was dirt (probably the wrong word) cheap, […]

Q: My husband spilled Gorilla Glue on the concrete entry to our house. We bought a product that was supposed to work but has made the mess worse. What now?
A: Blame hubby every time, huh? That's OK, we're used to it. But what product made the big mess? If the glue is still soft, scrape off bits with a wide putty knife or chisel. If it is hard, sand or chisel it off. Soap and water is a good solvent, so try that first. Then paint thinner. How about acetone? Then power washing.
Q: I look at mounds of pine needles clogging my gutters. Do you have a solution, other than removing the gutters, that will eliminate my frequent trips up the ladder?
A: It's a perennial problem, so don't expect much. I think Gutter Helmet claims its system of slots can keep needles out. All you can do is try. Meanwhile, enjoy the beauty of your evergreens.
Q: My Andersen double-hung, double-glazed window exploded recently into a whole bunch of pieces. What can I do?
A: Regular glass, even insulated glass (with two panes) in a regular position (not floor-to-ceiling or in a slider), rarely breaks into bits and pieces, but it can happen. So call an Andersen dealer to replace the sash, not the whole window.
Some windows, in floor to ceiling positions and sliders – where it's possible to walk right into them, a distinct hazard – are made of tempered glass, which explodes into hundreds of small, dull-edged shards when hit, cut or abused in any way. It's a safety feature.
Q: We recently replaced several 16-foot pressure-treated boards on our deck and have been given conflicting opinions as to whether or not we can stain them now, or … wait until six months has gone by before we stain them. These were replaced in mid-August.
A: Pressure-treated wood often feels wet and heavy because of the chemicals inserted under pressure. It is recommended to wait six months before staining them. Sometimes the wood feels dry, but it is a good idea to wait the recommended time. In the spring, when the weather is dry, apply one coat of a semitransparent stain. It will not peel and will last up to five years. Caution: Apply only one coat.

On Monday the Franklin Tourism Development Authority held its monthly meeting at the Franklin town hall to discuss potential funding opportunities for some previously proposed projects coming to the area. One in particular drew lengthy discussion among the board members. Last month, Paul Garner, general manager of the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts approached the board to ask for $15,000 to go towards advertising for events at the facility.
Board member and Franklin town manager Summer Woodard informed the members that the county's Tourism Development Commission had approved a matching grant of $15,000 last week.

Lecture and Book Signing Looks at "Unlimited Hydroplane Racing in Seattle"
Lecture and Book Signing Looks at "Unlimited Hydroplane Racing in Seattle"
Monday, July 12, 2010
Author and hydroplane driver Dave Williams lectures July 31
SEATTLE, July 12, 2010
--Hydroplane driver and race boat historian Dave Williams will be at The Museum of Flight on July 31 for a lecture and book signing about Seattle's unique relationship with the world of unlimited hydroplane racing, a sport that blends powerboating and aviation. Williams is author of over six books on sport of powerboat racing. He is also the Executive Director of the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum in Kent, Wash. His presentation will look at unlimited hydroplane racing and its ties to aviation. The program is at 2 p.m. in the William M. Allen Theater, and is free with admission to the Museum.
David Williams has been driving raceboats of all classes since 1977 and has been driving unlimiteds since 1993. He was the primary hydroplane stunt driver for the MGM feature film starring James Caviezel,
. He will be signing copies of his latest book, "Dancing with Disaster, The Mark Evans Story."
Almost every successful unlimited hydroplane design borrowed from aviation construction techniques, control systems and engines. Many successful drivers were also airplane pilots. Given Seattle's longstanding ties with aviation, it is not surprising that unlimited hydroplane racing became the city's first professional sport.

I've reused yeast that old (and older), including the color change, with no problems....with a starter, of course. I'd use it.
REALLY!? Now mine has sediment at the bottom as well and liquid in too. What ration do you use for the starter?
Without getting too scientific about it (which you can't, cause you don't know your cell counts/concentration or viability of your yeast), just make up 1.5 L of 1.040 wort and you'll be fine. This is assuming you're making the average 1.050-1.065ish beer.
Decant most of the liquid off before you pitch into the starter wort....but leave enough to allow you to swirl the yeast cake into a slurry, so you can pour it out of the jar.
Someone else may chime in with another approach, but this has worked for me.

In this video, you'll see how to make one of the all-time dinner classics, a creamy casserole with chicken and noodles and a crunchy cracker topping. This creamy casserole makes a great, comforting weeknight dinner that the family will absolutely love. See how to poach your chicken, and use the poaching water to cook your egg noodles. Then you'll combine everything in a casserole dish and top it all off with buttery cracker crumbs. Such a simple, easy recipe, but be sure to make extras; it's even better as leftovers! Watch the video, then get Dawne's recipe for Chicken Noodle Casserole I.
It is so good!
This is a great weeknight dinner! The soup is for ease of prep... I wonder why if people don't like using soup they are looking at recipes that contain SOUP?
This sounds great, going to make for supper tonight! Can I use margarine on the top with cracker crumbs instead of butter?
