How I Screwed Up the Unemployment Numbers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sara Horowitz of the Freelancers Union says the unemployment numbers are wrong . When I look in the mirror I agree.
According to the government I've only worked about six years in my whole life. Those were the years where I had a real job, with benefits, and for two of those years I still worked from my home-office.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' numbers simply don't capture freelancing, and this is causing policymakers to miss what's really happening in the economy. Because when I talk to people engaged in business, their chief complaint is not that there are too many workers out there, but that too few have the right skills.
As I noted at the top, this has actually been going on for decades. One of my wife's co-workers has been, technically, a "contractor" for most of her career. He doesn't work for the company, he works for himself. He gets an hourly rate, high enough to afford his own insurance and retirement account. He's doing just as well as my wife, but technically he's a freelance.
As I am. Most freelancers, like me, don't take an hourly rate at all. We're paid by the piece. When this piece is published, I'll earn a fee which, I'm led to believe, brings profit to the publisher. I will handle my own taxes, my own "benefits." When I don't work -- as on my recent vacation -- I make no money. But if I'm managing things well, that's OK. What I tell other writers who complain about what they're being paid, "Be wary of any business where the first word is submission." That's not just true for journalism any more. This is how millions of us work. I have a brother-in-law who fixes medical equipment. I have another relative who contracts to fix houses and perform handy work. Horowitz calls this "fractional work and micro gigs," jobs defined by output, or using just a fraction of our time. We're all like Bert in "Mary Poppins." We do what suits us, day by day. Horowitz explained this at the PBS Newshour's "Business Desk" blog recently. "Instead of focusing on whether someone's job is full-time or part-time, how about asking if they have enough work to sustain a life?"Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

It's been 19 years since the original Tecmo Bowl hit the field on NES, making it one of the earliest football sims, not to mention one of the most famous. For its return on modern hardware, Tecmo drafted its first US executive producer, Ryan Gilbo, to head the project, and he promptly set out to update the game just enough, but not change too much.
Read on for our full impressions and see first video of the game in action after the break.
Firing up the game, we were greeted with ... simplicity. Just as in the 8-bit original, we could choose from pre-season and season play. Our eyes were quickly drawn to the two new options: multiplayer and customization. The former is pretty basic stuff: play head-to-head versus another DS owner locally or via Nintendo WFC. The latter is surprisingly in-depth. It's possible to edit any of the 32 built-in teams to your liking.
You can change their name, city, nickname, emblem, uniform style & color, and playbook (by choosing four running and four passing plays from the game's presets, which include all of the plays from the original NES title). It's also possible to edit each player's name and stats. We know what you're thinking: "Ah-hah! A way to get around the lack of an NFL license!" Well, technically ... although Tecmo doesn't officially condone it. No, not at all.
It's a little odd that you can ramp all of your players' stats up to 90 out of 100, since it obviously introduces a balance issue with multiplayer. Tecmo simply hopes people abide by an "honor system," with producer Gilbo stating that no "real" Tecmo Bowl fan would ever cheat. We anticipate finding a lot of "fake" Tecmo Bowl fans online.
The basic gameplay has stayed, well ... basic. We started a game, kicked off, then picked from one of our eight plays using the same mechanic as in the original (holding A or B in tandem with a direction on the D-Pad selects different plays). The stylus could have been used, if we'd chosen to.
On the field, it was a matter of sacking the other team's quarterback or getting the ball downfield – it's very simple yet fun stuff; you don't need a degree in "Advanced Maddenism" to play, or even that much knowledge of football. We played using the D-Pad, but it's also possible to control players with the DS stylus. We tried it and went back to the pad. We also tried out the one major new gameplay addition: super moves. We only got to see one – a fiery fast pass – but it was a nice, if subtle progression of the classic gameplay formula. Like the game's touchdowns, interceptions, QB sacks, and the likes it was accompanied by a two-screen-tall "cinematic."
Tecmo Bowl Kickoff looks nice and sharp on the DS screens. It's basic looking; the players are a little on the tiny side, and there's not a polygon to be found, but that's fine by us as long as it's fun – and, a couple of months out from its September release, it definitely is.

By the way, they had a Bama troll at Plaquemine High also, trying to encourage Davon to ditch the Tigers and go to lil Nicky, the guy was so obnoxious that quite frankly he pissed Davon off with the Bama crap.

The fact is he may have loved LS since he was born, but he does not BLEED purple and gold if he feels he needs to see other schools after his offer.

The May Dragon Festival is one of the most spectacular events in China. On the 5th day of each lunar May, families are reunited, feasts are served, dragon-boat are oared along the rivers, riddle contests are held and lantern parades are marched in the streets all over the country. The festivities are to commemorate the great patriotic poet, Chu Yuan, who served the Choo Dynasty and sacrificed himself for the commoners in 290 B.C.At May Dragon, we especially love the FEASTS. We have selected only the best chefs from China, who have mastered not only Mandarin, Hunan, Canton and Szechuan cuisine, but also many other regional delicacies.

*May Dragon is one of my favorite places to eat with clients. by Daniel W. Dallas, TX
There are a number of reasons why I take clients to this restaurant:Clean white tablecloths, cloth napkins, attentive service and great fresh food. The atmosphere is quiet enough to have a good conversation, yet active enough that others are not going to hear what you are discussing.I like the lunch menu because it has a huge variety so everyone can find what they like - anything from mild to sweet to hot and spicy. The price is right too - about $9 to $10 for entre', rice, soup & spring roll. There are well over 100 restaurants to choose from in Addison and May Dragon is always on my list. I've been enjoying this restaurant since it opened around 1985.
*May Dragon is our Chinese restaurant of choice! By Paula J. Dallas, TX.
It's in Addison (close), convenient, and a wonderful ambiance. It's nice when you walk into a restaurant and they greet you like family! Joe & ChiChi know most of their customers (or soon will)! They have great servers, who embrace their attitude! Makes for a wonderful dining experience.. The food? AWESOME! No MSG! They serve a lot of healthy options (which is no easy feat nowadays)! We always try different things, with duck being our favorite. The sesame chicken is always spot on! They aim to please and will cook most dishes to your liking. The spring rolls are to die for!!!I use May Dragon for my business - http://www.jandura.com - Juice Plus. We have luncheons there ranging from 25 to 125 people. They always are prepared. They deliver. The guests feel welcome in the beautiful room - it's dark - with mirrors. They have a sound system, a piano, and other things to make events click! It's a large room and they are flexible with the seating - using large and smaller round tables. It always looks very nice and professional. The food is always delicious - served buffet style - it's always hot!I would have no hesitation about referring someone to May Dragon - whether it's for 2 or 125!!!!
*I LOVE LOVE LOVE May Dragon! By Louise B. Addison, TX
The food is healthy (no msg here)! We always get brown rice with our entree. For tasty Chinese food, you can't beat it. Affordable prices, too. The owners, Joe & ChiChi really make sure you have a pleasurable experience. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. That always makes the event much more pleasurable! The food - is always awesome! My husband loves the lo mein! I try different things....never disappointed! If you're looking for a place that is fun, authentic Chinese, and wonderful servers, try May Dragon!!!They have a party room, too. We do Juice Plus (http://www.jandura.com) functions there. They are so flexible, affordable, and always excellent food! From 20 to 120, they deliver! Our guests always enjoy it and leave - saying they'll be back!!!!
*Best duck in Carrollton area!!! By Quan X. Addison, Dallas, TX
Good place will go again soon
*As a young business professional who travels through the DFW area a lot, May Dragon was recommended by some colleagues to try one evening. By Colton B. Gatesville, TX
I arrived after the rush in the evening and was immediately greeted by the owner, Former Addison Mayor Joe Chow, and was immediately seated by Ms. Chi Chi. The owners treated me so well, a long with the rest of the staff. Mayor Chow toured me around the restaurant at my request and updated me on the business he has owned for longer than I've been alive.I ordered the sesame-seed chicken with rice and egg rolls, and it was FANTASTIC! I normally dine in at Chinese and other cultural restaurants and by far May Dragon has hit the top of the list. May Dragon is a great place to take a date, have a business function, and grab lunch with a group of friends. I will certainly recommend May Dragon to everyone I know.
*During my last visit to Texas, I ate at May Dragon 3 times! by Peggy S. Tustin, CA
They have great food, full bar, nice decor, and fast and friendly service. This restaurant far exceeded my expectations for chinese food in Texas. I will definitely dine there again on my next visit.
*Waiter was professional while being surprising kind and thoughtful. by Christel H. Fort Worth, TX
I definitely will return although not as often as I would like as it is a little pricey. Overall exceeded flavor expectations and service expectations!!
*Great food and a true fine dining restaurant. by Lee G. North Dallas, Dallas, TX
Service was good and really enjoyed the atmosphere.
*Joe Chow and Chi Chi Lin are like family. by Diana L. Dallas, TX
The Chinese New Year celebration is the best! Now over 6 years receiving Mr and Mrs Bears New Year's Eve Top 12 Service Award for 2012.
*All you haters go on and hate. I love May Dragon, I have since high school! by Allison L. Dallas, TX
That's how long this place has been around. This was the go to place for everything, homecoming dinners, graduation dinners, first dates, group dates, and everything in between. I don't think I'd been to May Dragon in a few years and when my friend suggested this place on a Saturday night, I figured well? I could eat some Chinese food! We walked in and sat right down. Ordered hot tea right away (which was delicious!). The menu is large and has everything. You know how Mexican restaurants give you chips and salsa? Well May Dragon gives you fried wonton strips and yummy sauce. Can we say amazing? We decided to start with some crab rangoon, which was creamy and so delicious. If I hadn't been with my friends and needed to share, I wouldn't have. Then I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp, I dunno, I wanted something common. Didn't really feel like adventuring out on a limb. It also came with a cup soup. I chose Egg Drop and I'm not kidding, was probably the BEST Egg soup I've ever had! Thick and creamy and with those fried wonton strips....I died. Friends ordered the Mongolian Beef and Sesame beef. Ok. Everyone likes Mongolian Beef, but listen up. The Sesame beef was truly the star of the evening. I have no friggin idea what is in that sauce....im guessing crack. So good. I mean the Kung Pao and Mongolian were certainly delicious, but we both had food envy. Price is right. Service is great. Food is delicious. Like I said, haters go on and hate. Me likey the Dragon, May that is.
*Dined here so many times over the years for both personal and business lunches/dinners, always a pleasant experience. by Marilyn M. Dallas, TX
Puzzled @ some of the negative reviews. However, acknowledge that it's been several years since my last visit until last week. So maybe something did change over time for the worse, but for me on this recent visit, it met my expectations. Thanks to "Mr Bear" (and Mrs Bear's) recent review, I was reminded to go back; and it looks like MD is back up to its excellent food standards, as I remember them.On to my quest to find some darn good Dan Dan Noodles. I have found that not all Chinese restaurants offer this dish. It's not listed on May Dragon's menu, but ask and ye shall receive; beef, chicken, pork or shrimp are added meat options.Noodles were cooked perfectly. to the right degree of tenderness. OMG, the peanut sauce was so creamy, drinkable for sure. I wanted more on my dish however, and requested extra on the side. Accommodated immediately. The white meat chicken was moist, so tender, melt in the mouth protein. Loved all the flavors, with the lettuce and bean sprouts along the side of the dish, Didn't care for the shredded carrots, but, my bad. Should have remembered to eliminate those. This dish was excellent and so flavorful. A definite "4".Also had a cup of the hot and sour soup; YUM YUM ! The heat was just right for my wimpy palate. Loved the soft tofu, and tender chicken slices. Add the fried wontons to soak in the thick savory broth for a yumalicious starter dish. Hit the spot on a chilly afternoon.Amy was a nice friendly server; although she did not check on me often, she was nearby. I was the only patron @ 1530 but did not go neglected once I got her attention. I often go to restaurants during what I determine as "sleepy modes:", between lunch and dinner, so service may not be typical. However, received a cheerful "thanks for coming by" when I was leaving.Loved the quiet serene atmosphere; soft background music, the several separate semi-private dining rooms, but most of all, my most comfy large leather booth. Hues of mustard and rustic orange colors cover the wall along with paintings, blonde and dark woods, and dim low Chinese Lantern type lighting. Nice bar area as you walk in.Reasonable @ $10.83 plus tip. for my late lunch.; soup and an entree. HUGE serving of the Noodles, enough for another 2 meals.NOTE:Lunch specials Mon-Fri, 1100-1600, Sat & Sun noon-1600: $8-10 includes steamed or fried rice and an egg roll. Dinner offerings seem more pricey IMO for a Chinese restaurant: $13 for chicken dishes, Beef & Pork $14-22, most seafood $14-17, with some speciality items $27-35; if you want Duck go to the ATM or be sure and check your credit card limit. (Early Bird Dinner specials & HH Mon-Fri, 1600-1800, don't know prices)Have tried many dishes in the past; house special fried rice, soupy noodles, Moo Shi pork, etc. all of which were delish. Yes, I will return to this restaurant of past delights to once again enjoy good Chinese fare. Many say it's not authentic Chinese. No matter, I just simply like it !!
We have been dining at this restaurant for a long, long time. by David W. Carrollton, TX
They went through a troubled period a couple years ago, when the food and service were not so hot. But all that changed when they replaced the chef and some of the waitstaff. It's a completely different restaurant now in terms of food quality and service.As the restaurant currently exists, the food quality is excellent. Every single thing on the menu is delicious. The prices are very reasonable. The bar service is very good. Joe Chow, the Mayor of Addison, runs the place and is usually near the front door to greet us.I have a strong message for those who have slammed this restaurant in the past - TRY IT AGAIN. IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.
*First off, let me say that I'm not a native of Dallas. by Jess A. Carrollton, TX
I moved here in 2000, and one thing I quickly noticed is that most of Dallas's Chinese food is unadulterated crap. If it's a sit-down restaurant, it's a buffet with the same cookie-cutter dishes that never vary from the pit of mediocrity. You eat at one, you've pretty much had them all. Delivery is likewise much of the same; usually greasy, overcooked limp/blanched veggies, with uninspired sauces. The closest I'd come to 'good' Chinese in Dallas was Jasmine's, and that was only a small step up in quality for a higher ticket price. And then... I found May Dragon. Everything I've tried here has been good, and while they are pricey, the portions are huge (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). I especially recommend the Mongolian Beef and the May Dragon Combination, and they have the best Sesame Chicken I've ever had. Keep in mind, they do 'Americanized' Chinese, but that's what most people are looking for when they think chinese food, having never had different.
*Have been going to this restaurant for 17 years approximately and the food has always been consistent. by Colette K. Dallas, TX
Yes, it is Americanized, but what do you expect? Mexicanized? No! Restaurants who are successful are so because they do market research on what MOST people like, and Americans like sweet!!!! So, why fix it if it ain't broken? May not be the Ritz but Joe is a perfectionist and it shows. He's there most of the time (the owner and Mayor of Addison) and makes sure the food is consistent. You can actually request white meat for chicken entrées, which makes it much better. Have NEVER had a bad dish here.
*I have this really nice "hobby" of investigating other cultural foods. by W.A. L. Dallas, TX
I my efforts I have found myself always returning to a very lovely establishment that serves Chinese cuisine, called May Dragon. The delectable foods and traditional servers are always at the highest quality. The ambiance is purely exciting and clearly designed for the finest of your dining pleasure(s). Your entrees are always presented with the patron in mind and at the freshest points of readiness. On designed evenings you can be entertained by soothing piano music in the bar/lounge area of the restaurant. The owners, Joe Chow and ChiChi Lin, are not only respected by their professional staff of servers but in observing the patrons they are highly appreciated and respected as well. They never miss greeting their guest and by the same token they never allow the patrons to leave without "very warm" salutations. If and when you have a desire for unsurpassed quality in Chinese dining you will NEVER go wrong in visiting "The" May Dragon Chinese Restaurant . Your expectations will be met far above what you may have been experienced in the past. If there is such a thing as "Perfect" in restaurant dining May Dragon is the highest standard of Perfection in Quality dining. When you go tell them I sent you!!!!Have a great time at May Dragon...I'll see you there...
*May Dragon has a nice old school feel. by Chris S.Plano, TX
It has a great environment and while it does show its age is not run down by any means. The food is great, staff is courteous, and management is fine.The secret is knowing what to order and how to really customize your dish with specific veggies. All dishes can be altered to add exactly what you want and that's what I love. The waiters do not complain that you do so and actually suggest recommendations.In my few run-ins at May Dragon, I have never had a bad experience. The food has been cooked to perfection and I have been continuously treated like a true guest.My suggestion to the nay-sayers: Order something more authentic rather than the American-fied "Sesame Chicken" or yada yada. Get a tasty tofu/veggie dish rather or the beef noodle soup!
*We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner this evening with my friend and his girlfriend. by John K. Dallas, TX
It was a lovely place and the food was excellent. Our server was very personable and helpful in making selections as it was our first visit here but definitely not our last!
*We really enjoyed our meal and look forward to coming back soon. by Yuan T. McKinney, TX
The atmosphere was wonderful as well. Phil is Great waiter! Enjoyed the music we could hear coming from the bar area.
*I recently dined at May Dragon. by Elaine C. Mesquite, TX
After 3 or 4 years, I thought I give it another try. My family and I enjoyed our dining experience. The host and server are friendly. We ordered wonton, hot and sour, and mushroom soups. My hot sour soup was delicious; it was spicy and not salty like some other Chinese restaurants. The mushroom soup comes with plenty of mushroom slices, and the broth is full of flavor. If you order a cup of wonton soup, you get one wonton. The cup is small, very small. We ordered the cashew chicken, tea duck, and seafood basket. The seafood basket includes succulent lobster and shrimp, and the vegetables are fresh. The basket is made of noodles. Don't eat the basket because it tastes funny. It's more for the decoration and holding the entree. The cashew chicken is slightly sweet, which is different. The chicken pieces are plenty, and the cashews and vegetables add a great flavor. The tea duck seemed more like super deep fried duck. It was eh. The price for the half duck seemed a little high for the quality of the duck meat. The pickled cucumbers that came with the tea duck is delicious! I may consider ordering a plate of the pickled cucumbers on my next visit. BTW. the Jasmine tea goes well with the food; it is fragrant and mild. Ditch the soda, and drink the tea. The restaurant is clean. The decor is beautiful. The women's restroom is clean.
*A good taste Chinese dishes with western service make this restaurant different from most of the traditional Chinese restaurant. by Eric K. Plano, TX
Sesame Chicken and Sausage Fried Rice are the most delicious dishes that I have never tasted at other places before. Two Thumbs Up
*Fantastic food and service, the owner Joe Chow and his wife are nice person. by Eileen K. Plano, TX
*I have been reviewing some of the reviews on yelp related to this restaurant. by Wayne L. Dallas, TX
I am an avid patron of May Dragon because of its delectable food(s) and expert services. Your greetings are always very warm and friendly, your servers are very knowledgeable. The ambiance is elegant traditional to fine classic renditions of business to business casual. I noticed in "one" review the person was obviously mentally challenged or perhaps this person was not from this planet. Allow me to issue an apology for that review to any of you that are considering visiting this very fine and wonderful restaurant. They (May Dragon) has been in business for over 26 years, in the same location....That speaks for itself!!! Finally, I met the owners Joe and ChiChi and there has never or seldom been any more gracious and concerned owners. Put it on your calender to experience the TRUE ENJOYMENT/PLEASURE of The May Dragon...By the way, tell them Wayne sent you....smile...
*Good food friendly service and a full bar! Ally R. McKinney, TX
What could be better than that. Went last night for the first time and was suprised by a live piano player near the entrance. Will be back in the future!
*Went here for lunch today on a whim with my family. by Amy V. Austin, TX
We're not from around err so we just picked it somewhat at random. I think it turned out to be a nice little surprise. We all got lunch combos which for $9-10 (based on chicken/beef dishes) you get an egg roll, soup and a heaping plate of food. It also advertises as including a fortune cookie but IMHO that should always be included! I ordered the general savitz's chicken which was a very tasty, spicy, garlicky chicken, chopped into nice little morsels. The precursor to my meal, the wonton soup was good, my only complaint being that it was a pretty small bowl but given the amount of food in the entree I definitely did not go away hungry! The best part of the meal was our server Victor, who was very attentive, and sweet. He treated us like old friends and it was just nice to meet someone who seemed so genuinely friendly and interested in his customers.
*I'm visiting from Dallas and we were curious about the May Dragon. by David M.San Rafael, CA
A brick facade hides a beautiful and peaceful decor. Service was very good and the hot and sour soup delicious and my friends mushroom soup was fresh and savory.We shared Kung pao chicken with baby bok choy. I like my food hot so I should have asked for extra peppers but the Bok choy was crispy and fresh.We meet -the owner (Uncle) Joe Chow who is former Mayor of Addison and recently ran for Senate I learned. Joe was gracious and charismatic and frustrated by hecklers who claims he serves shark fin soup. As a disclaimer, we are shark conservationists and wanted to speak with someone who decries the practice of shark finning and the dish shark fin soupThe soup is not on the menu, and Joe claims he has never had it on the menu. Consumers should reward restaurants and people of the Asian American culture who speak out for sharks and sustainability.Way to go Joe and May Dragon!
*Great service. by Jeff F. Plano, TX
Food was really good. Egg drop soup was one of the best I've ever had. I suspect the bad reviews are politically motivated. I liked it a lot.
*We are regulars at May Dragon and have been for the last few years. by Kevin H. Addison, TX
Excellent food and a wait staff that is very professional. Nice decor and an overall very pleasant restuarant. Joe and his wife are usually there.
*Found May Dragon on Grubhub and can't say I was dissapointed. It was fantastic. by Kim P. Seagoville, TX
*The staff are friendly here. by Andre P. Plano, TX
The food taste great and the quality of service is superb.They make you feel as though you are family.
*I read the other reviews and have ordered some of the same dishes by jess s. Dallas, TX
(the orange beef is the first to spring to mind) and have not had the same experience as many of the other reviewers. My friends and I consistently love May Dragon. The staff have been friendly, even more so when you dine at the bar. Do I know how it compares to "real" authentic chinese food? I can't really say. I have eaten at all of the restaurants in Richardson's Chinatown and had varied experiences there. I would actually rate this on the higher end in comparison. Better than Chinatown NY? No, better than chinese food in Madison South Dakota, hands down, double yes.
*The service and food was superb by C h. Addison, TX
I felt like a princess with the attention and service. Marvelous pianist (Steve Sonday), gracious and cheerful manager ChiChi, and server Cyrus each contributed to making this a royal evening.
*Bought a livingsocial deal for this place and was pretty skeptical because of the reviews. by Kara K. Manhattan, NY
Convinced 2 friends to go with me and we ended up having a great meal. They didn't rush us at all and the portions were bigger than i expected. I don't remember what my friends had but I had the general tso's and it was really good. I'd go back.
*So I went here with my friend who had a voucher here by Steph H. Addison, TX
I think it might have been livingsocial but I am not sure. It was honestly alot better than I would have imagined. At first I figured, oh this is the SAME as every other Chinese food place... but to my surprise the staff was friendly, the fortune garden chicken was amazing and there was almost nothing bad I could say. I would have given them 4.5 stars but I will push it up since I plan on returning.
*The food is really fresh. by Joe C. Addison, TX
I can tell the ingredients are fresh. vegetable is green, mushroom is so white and the meet is tender. I love the dish "Prawns in Ginger Root and Scallion" and Mongolian BBQ Beef.I can eat there DAY AND NIGHT.
*I've been coming here for a year now and I have to say that it is by far the best Chinese food I've had in the area. by Christopher S. Dallas, TX
I am an Asian food enthusiast so I choose my restaurants with care. What I learned from May Dragon is that you should avoid all the "usual" entrées that you see from other Americanized-Chinese restaurants. Things like Sesame Chicken, Chicken and Brocolli, and Garlic Chicken are okay but leave a lot to be desired. They are by no means bad but I think it could be definitely improved upon.My personal favorites are Braised beef with Scallions, Tofu with Chinese Mushrooms and Chicken, Salmon Steak (steamed), Chicken Egg-White and Onions, Szechuan Style Hard Tofu and Chicken, Chicken Chow Fun and Mooshu Chicken.Compared to other restaurants like First Chinese Barbeque, I'd say May Dragon has a definite edge over it. While FCB is quite tasty, a ton of dishes have an unnecessary amount of grease or oil or salt. Sometimes just eating it makes me sick. May Dragon does have quite oily dishes as well, but none to the extent of FCB. What May Dragon does excel at is using quality and rich ingredients. You can just tell that this is not the typical low quality meats you see at other establishments. The vegetables are fresh and delectable. They never use MSG which is a plus as well.What I love the most is the amount of customization you can have on your dishes. Substituting some of your most hated vegetables or what not is encouraged and even adding extra veggies is not a problem at all at no extra cost for the most part (there are some exceptions of course). Though I assume it probably peeves the waiters when you completely alter the dish, they almost always allow it.Another thing I see many complaints about is the cost. While it is certainly more expensive than other similar restaurants, I still find it quite a good deal. It is a lot of food. It's true that you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere, but the food is just too good to pass up on. Lunch portions are large and consist of a cup of soup, a side of rice, and an egg roll. Dinner portions are a couple bucks more, but have an even larger amount of food. Rice refills are free if you order an entrée too! Despite all the good things I have to say about the food. The one thing May Dragon suffers from is the quality of service or lack thereof. The wait staff is emotionless and have just constant expressions of disdain like they really dislike their job or something. Their command of the English language is poor and it pains me to order sometimes. I always have to reinforce what I say to make sure they get the order correctly. They are sometimes needlessly pushy and confusing to speak to. But as long as you clearly state what you want, they bring out your food in a timely manner with no hassle. It is a nightmare when a dish comes out wrong because they have trouble understanding what the problem is. This should be the focus of improvement in the future for sure. I've never had any outrageous problems because I usually have simple requests. Just get me my beer, my dish, and my check and I'm all golden.After reading all these reviews from unsatisfactory customers, it pains me that my top Chinese restaurant is getting a beat down. What you should get out of this review is that:1. Know what to get. Some dishes are rather abysmal and plain, but others are amazing. You just have to experiment. It sucks but that's just how it is. I'm all for giving second chances and it worked out for me!2. You do get a good amount of food for the money. I am not a small person by any means and a lot of times I end up taking my leftovers home. The amount of food is not to be taken lightly.3. Service is pretty mediocre. If you're okay with average service, give it a try, but DO NOT expect top quality service. I would not recommend this place as a romantic dinner date spot. If they can give me my food without me getting impatient, they're good enough for me.Just give it another try. Maybe even try one of my favorite dishes! Go in with an open mind and experiment. There's a reason why this place has been around for almost 26 years.
*May Dragon is Chinese Food at it's best. by Justin P. Fort Worth, TX
None of that fast-food, all-you-can-eat, leftover nonsense. May Dragon has excellent service, excellent atmosphere, and excellent cuisine. The best part is that it is a reasonably priced restaurant that caters to people who want to dress up a little, and enjoy a quiet night out. You can even meet the owner, and his wife, they've been there every time I've visited! Mr. Chow and his lovely wife are excellent hosts, and I'm sure you will enjoy your time at May Dragon!!It's not the place for beer-swilling frat boys looking for cheap, americanized chinese food to devour in mass quantities. You will find only the real deal at May Dragon. Also, they deliver within 3 miles of the restaurant! So if you crave authentic chinese cuisine at home, they'll dliver it right to your door! It just doesn't get any better than this!
*I hadn't been in Texas long, the first time I went to May Dragon. by Ryan P. Fort Worth, TX
I was met at the door by the owner of the establishment, Mayor Joe Chow. He was energetic and cordial, and made my wife and I feel right at home. We were pleased to find that this was not to be another americanized, all-you-can-eat abomination. The restaurant was decorated very well, in Chinese Motif. The food was excellent! It was authentic, and the very best Chinese food I've had! I reccommend the Sesame Chicken, it's exquisite! Mayor Chow invented the sesame chicken dish, and nobody does it better!Please do yourselves a favor, and give this plaace a chance. You won't be dissapointed!
*I love Asian cuisine, especially Chinese food. by Sophia L. Dallas, TX
So when I heard about this place I thought I would try it out. Normally I'm picky about chinese restaurants because they have a tendency to be filled w/ MSG and stingy. They are very friendly from start to finish. For drinks, I ordered the Grasshopper (which you can order virgin, if you like.). It is basically a minty smoothie, I couldn't get enough. I also ordered a roll your own Ming Lettuce Roll. It was great on taste, not too light and not too strong. For my main course I had Maydragon Sesame Beef. Order this if you like spicy food, which I love. These were sauteed broccoli and orange peels which added an interesting sweet taste. Their portions were huge. Service was friendly, they even gave me a free refill to my Grasshopper. I definitely recommend this place to bring family, a boyfriend, your girlfriends, anyone!If you go here, you have to try a Grasshopper!
*This is an great place for Chinese, especially at lunch. by Reece M. Addison, TX
Portions are large, it's two grades better than buffet, and, hey, it's owned by the Mayor of Addison, Joe Chow. Again, show up here for lunch and not for dinner. Dinner flirts with ridiculously high prices and high handed service. The bar is fun and a big tip goes a long way to getting heavy pours. Drop by for a cocktail before hand, have some appetizers and then head out.A plus for the joint is they will customize any dish to your taste. Don't like onions, they're gone. Carrots the bane of your existence? You'll never see them. I'd give it a try if you haven't.

"Webz Roscoe Linwood Warthog Winless bball jay Ralph Slippy? Tashawn? Conjeremy? Round? Laimbeer Motown Me (Max)" I'm glad I'm not Commissioner Webz. If the league has a maximum of 12 teams and 14 people think they are in...
Good one Bill ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ...Webz, if you need any advice about who ^ to keep out of the league, just pm me. I've got some ideas...
Yes it will be difficult, but there are still other PF.com leagues people can play in if they miss out. I have resigned as Commish of the Scrubs league if someone wants to run that. Linwood? Ralphie? People who have declared interest for the Keeper league and have been sent invites to the test League: webz BillLaimbeer Roscoe Winless Linwood Slippy LADre Motown Max Warthog bball jay Ralph Tater* Jammer* * Sent invites in case they will change their mind. That makes 12 so far... Anyone else??
Next season, I will have graduated from college and officially have time to make all of you cry in fantasy sports. It's better for everyone that I wait one more year to leave college and go into the NBA, as it were.
And so it begins... Based on my past fantasy league performances, I'm going to have to get my trash talking in early.
One more thing that hasn't been discussed yet is the format. I would like to gather people's thoughts on whether we should have a Daily or Weekly league. Here are a couple of quick points for both off the top of my head. Please add to these with your own. Daily + More engrossing (checking boxscores daily for break out players, injuries, etc) + More flexible for Strategy and injuries - More time-consuming than Weekly Weekly + Strategy important; taking into consideration number of games played for the week is vital + Less maintenance. Once lineup is set for the week that's it - Unable to change lineup if an injury occurs. Especially at start of the week.
I'd like to try weekly. Daily is more user friendly as its almost a no brainer to set full line ups. On a weekly, you need to take into account games that week, the opponent, and other good stuff. We have novice for those who don't want to think too much.
I've nevver played in an ESPN- league before, but I'm pretty sure you can set your daily line ups in advance as in the yahoo leagues, right? If so, daily shouldn't be a problem for anyone
Slippy makes a good point about weekly. It's funny how we've transitioned many of our leagues to weekly instead of daily in the last couple of years. The only problem with weekly, is that you can't afford to wait to the last minute to set your lineups (like I do). If you wait too long, you can forget, and then your roster is locked from last week. Maybe this is my unique problem. But I thought I would point it out. Also, I didn't want to go there, but in order for a keeper league to work, people have to be committed. So it might be best to figure out how exactly we'll handle delinquent owners from ruining a league. It's one thing to go on vacay without setting your rosters or telling anyone, another thing to go into the tank after week 6 and tip the level of competition, with no intentions of doing anything next year. Most keeper leagues use money as the commitment. I don't like that, and I don't think we should mix money into the equation. But a strong policy on commitment could allow the Commish to act swiftly to prevent any imbalances by turning an abandoned team into an expansion franchise. Some food for thought...
I would expect tanking to be a valid long term strategy...it worked for San Antonio... but not playing is different. I think we should have the commissioner motion that the franchise be considered delinquent and the league will vote on it privately. Voting is mandatory and would include an abstain option. If found delinquent, the user is banned from keeper league and the franchise is opened for new ownership. If no new owner is found, the top ranked players at each position are set to start and left the whole season. Deciding if a team is delinquent would differ between a daily and weekly league. but generally, I would say that if an injured/suspended player stays in the starting lineup for 2 weeks (1 week in daily leagues) the commsih will contact the owner via league channels (not pf.com PM). If no response is given in 48 hrs or so, the motion is made. Those r my thots.
i like weekly simply because it's a keeper league, which goes more with the long-term strategy theme.
Another idea Slip. Since we're all fairly friendly, we could trust a master phone list to one or two people (Commish, Deputy Commish) in the event we need to make contact. That's based upon people being willing to share their ph# in a small group.
my feeling for the league channels only communication when considering a delinquent team is that if they aren't checking their team, they won't get the notice. It's not the Commish's job to prod people back into playing. It can be done by anyone at any time.
i vote for weekly. it's easier for me that way since i usually give my players a while before i take them out of my starting lineup anyway.
I prefer daily line ups do to injuries and DNP's. How hard is it really to just set your line up for the whole week in advance if you think you may not be able to daily? It is the same thing as doing it once a week basically. Atleast you have the option of removing a player that isn't playing or is injured when you have daily line up rather than sticking with them the whole week.
I got burned a couple times on this last year in the scrub league...not that it mattered cuz my team sucked :P Like has been said, you can treat daily like weekly by setting your lineups in advance (I used to set my daily lineups in the novice league 2 weeks ahead)...plus have the flexibility to change when someone turns an ankle on Monday or Tuesday. Allowing co-ownerships might help alleviate this problem...? food4thot
ok. you convinced me. i'm vote daily lineups now. the weekly people can do it weekly and the daily people can do it that way. that's the only way everyone is happy.

WoW Moviewatch: BSTV Episode 1
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at email@example.com.
Filed under: WoW Moviewatch
Filed under: WoW Moviewatch
I had to stop playing WoW in April after my son was born, but I am always on this site because I like to keep up with what's going on - You don't play a game faithfully for 5 years and just forget about it, I don't care what my husband says.
Looks badass and I'm super bummed I can't play :(
Have fun, you lucky bastards.
I love Baron Soosdon's work, but let me boil this down for you.
Goblins and their starting zone: "Awesome, funny, unlike Gnomes which were supposed to be funny, but were just stupid and every laughs at them, they bring something in their attitude, and I welcome them warmly to the Horde."
Worgen starting zone: "Like Avatar, pretty but mediocre and boring."
That's taken almost exactly from his video.
The Horde bias is showing plainly. Interspersed with comments about how stupid Gnomes are, and the "Loliaince" when he mentions them.
Baron Soosdon's videos has always been filled with Horde love and Alliance hate, it should be expected by now.
Which is absolutely his right, of course. He's just a guy making machinima.
What I am saying is, take the video as an overview of the zones, don't take it as an actual review.
I started to watch this video, then he made fun of Gnomes (strike) made it all the way through the Kezan portion but during it he said another gnome joke(really punting jiokes are still funny? grow up dude) and the Lolliance comment(strike two) so then i started watching the gilneas portion. not even 30 seconds in and he used the word furries like 12 times (Stike 3 goodbye sir) needless to say i didn't finish watching the video. but the parts i did see looked nice. dude makes some top notch visuals.
when you CONSTANTLY make fun of a certain faction you cut your viewbase in half. i assure you i will not be watching another one of his videos again, no matter how awesome they look
Wow.. so no one on Alliance side can be laughed at EVER!
You might want to grow a thicker skin otherwise people might start calling you all crybabies.
Might.. maybe..
You didn't read my second comment, did you?
I suggest reading it, so you can see what the point of my post was.
Agreed Drakk. It was beautifully done overall but lost me on the content. It's no big though, it's his review of the zones and pretty much everything he loved about the Goblin experience is what I loath. It's just a taste thing.
Honestly though, the Furry thing is making me want to pull my hair out! LOL, this is my problem. ;)
All that being said, the commercials were BRILLIANT. The Clockwork Orange/Blood Elf Rap thing may be one of my favourite moments in a long time. So - there you go, my bias is such that I really find belfs hilarious, and not in the good way. I know that get's very old for some people so I'll TRY my very hardest to tolerate the "furry" thing. XD
This was a convergence of some awesome talent so even if it lost me on the narration it was visually a feast.
It's not Bloods and Crips, it's not life and death, it's a GAME. You are not part of the Alliance "gang" or the Horde "gang", you are playing a GAME. I pay $15 a month to play WoW and if one starter zone isn't as epic as another from the "other side", you know what, I PLAY THE OTHER SIDE! I have level 80's from both factions, and will level them all to 85 because I want to experience all that this GAME has to offer. All this BS about favoritism and whatnot is silly, and if you are getting all butt hurt about how someone is mocking your "gang" then I'd say you have some serious real life issues that you need to address. Calm down, lighten up and enjoy the GAME.
"He favors one side over the other, so don't take this as an actual review, just enjoy the visuals."
Glad you got that message. If someone criticizes your "side", especially using tired and old cliches, such as punting Gnomes, it gets annoying. No one here is complaining about one starting zone being better than another, we are complaining about how the video maker's bias influences the "review', as it's sort of presented.
You are not part of your football team, but those fans will take is just as seriously.
@ Dave, actually you're the only one getting bent out of shape here. All people are saying is that for some of us it detracted from the "humor" of the peice. It's no big dude.
The enjoyment of the "sides" and the stories is just as much a part of the fun as raiding and whatnot for others. It's all good. The reaction doesn't mean they are some kid in a dark room cutting themselves.
Oh, sweetness! Looking forward to seeing this tonight on my good cable connection at home; no way am i going to try to watch 15 minutes of Soosdonfulness on my crappy DSL from work. Curse you, AT&T!
For anyone new to machina, Baron Soosdon is one of the best ways to start. Even worth taking 15 minutes from leveling. ^_^
Looking forward to the sequel! And again BARON SOODSON YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's see, Mr Soosdon (or whatever) ruined his almost enjoyable video with his horde kind of narrow-minded comments.
Actually it wasn't "so" awesome at all. The best part was just a copy from another artist work. I am thinking of Cranius.
(YouTube - CraniusPresents's Channel)
We are not talking about question of taste. We are talking about that a horde side symptom. I feel like Horde players always need to have some echo about their own greatness, and because they can't have it they try to insult others.
I share Beaudenoir's feeling.
This video is simple harsh and unsympathetic. Keep it to yourself Soosdon.
I saw this title as "BTVS Episode 1" and was all like "Why is Buffy on a wow site?" ...
Then I read it more closely and felt sort of dumb, but with a nice little 90's geek nostalgia glow.
Ehhh. I've liked Soosdon's earlier work, but this feels less polished. And the "Lolgnomes Lolalliance lolfurries" thing disenchanted me fast - not because I'm a hardcore Alliance player, but because it's just so freakin' *tired* by now. He even *rickrolls* partway through it! The punting, the rickrolling, the "Omg furries teh devil" thing, it's all so far past its prime it's starting to smell.
In short, 4chan needs to die in a fire.
The music and visual presentation, as well as the commercials were most excellent. The blatant horde bias, however, was not. If anything, this just makes me want to punt some goblins!

Tom Hardy Lead Actor For Christian Grey Role?
According to several respectable entertainment news organizations, Tom Hardy's agents are in negotiations for him to play the role of Christian Grey. See the story below for more details.

Fans have been continuously buzzing over who they feel would make the Christian Grey character in the film adaptation of the E.L. James racy read "Fifty Shades of Grey." Although the author and the rest of the production team has remained quiet on just who the front runner will be in the casting process, the progression toward making the actual movie itself just picked up a little more steam.
On Monday, it was announced by Universal and Focus Features that "Terry Nova" writer Kelly Marcel would be brought on to pen the film script. The 38-year-old is also a friend and fan of "Lawless" actor Tom Hardy, who just so happens to be one of the front-runners for the role of Grey. Interestingly enough, Marcel and the 34-year-old British heart throb also founded the "Bad Dog Theater Company" in London together.

The character would not be too much of a stretch for the rugged Hardy. He did don the intimidating role of Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises" and also pulled off the part of tough as nails British prison resident Charles Bronson in "Bronson." While the respective roles may have been over the top in terms violence, Hardy did show off his romantic chops in "This Means War" alongside Reese Witherspoon.
Other potential suitors for the S & M crazed billionaire role include "Gangster Squad's" Ryan Gosling, "Man of Steel's" Henry Cavill and "White Collar's" Matt Bomer, amongst a slew of other qualified actors.
The sexually explicit "Fifty Shades of Grey" premise revolves around a recent college graduate Anastasia Steele, who gets herself caught up in a dominant and submissive sexual relationship with the dominant Christian Grey, through an "agreement," as they both explore the world of bondage and masochism. Only time will tell who the production team will ultimately pick as the final Christian Grey.

For many, the mere sound of the term Alternative Cooling is enough to make them cringe. But what if I were to tell you that someone has placed some safeguards into the mix? Come join Mike "Darthtanion" Wright as he takes a hard look at the Thermaltake SubZero4G Cooling System. It uses a peltier cooling device but with some added features. He'll be looking at normal operation of this device as well as some results for an overclocked system, so come see if this is your chance to get into the new cooling craze!Testing
Now for the moment of truth. Can the SubZero4G put out enough cooling power to handle an enthusiast rig? To begin with, it should be noted that the little brain box (you remember, that PCI card) is set up to automatically adjust the power to the peltier depending on the temperature being recorded from the thermal probe. The maximum power it is rated at looks to be 73 watts from the spec sheets provided from Thermaltake. Already there seems that there might be a small problem; namely that the high-end processors put out more heat than this when overclocked even at a moderate level. But we're here to find out facts so on we go.
Testing conditions will follow my standard guidelines concerning coolers. Ambient temperature is kept at a regulated 21C and the cooling system will be tested in a closed case. Before I jump into system conditions we'll take a look at the test setup.
Xoxide modified Lian-Li PC60 Case
Soltek SL-75MRN-L Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Processor (Palomino)
1024MB Crucial PC2700 DDR Memory
Sapphire Radeon 9700 Pro "Ultimate Edition"
Western Digital 80GB Hard Drive
Arctic Silver III
I am using an older based Palomino processor since they tend to put out a bit more heat. And after all, we want to see how it handles this very thing so it suits for testing purposes. The processor voltage was set to 1.8v and memory was set to 2.6v. Temperatures are measured at idle after 15 minutes of no activity, measured again after a rugged Quake III Arena Deathmatch, and a final time after a continuous demo looping of 3DMark2001. After these temperatures have been recorded, we'll boost the FSB to 145MHz and run it through the same series of tests. The moderate overclock of only the FSB will allow the processor to do the work and not share the load across the entire system. We're after heat and we will get it.
A final note: Each category will have two screenshots of the temperature results. The top set of results will be at default speeds (1533MHz and 69.8 watts) and the bottom results will be at the overclocked speeds (1668MHz and 73.8 watts). The results should speak for themselves, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't any confusion here.
Results - Idle
While the temperatures aren't totally out of the water, they certainly aren't what I had expected when talking of alternative cooling. But before we pass judgment, lets make sure to put some stress to the system and see what happens.
Results - Quake III Arena Deathmatch
Interestingly we ended up with the same maximum temperature for both the default and the overclocked speeds. When we look at the heat output, though, we see that both are getting on towards the top end of the spectrum of what this cooler is capable of handling.
Results - 3DMark2001 Demo Loop
Again we see the same result with both speeds resulting in a temperature of 42 degrees Celsius. I can say that this is the first time that I have ever had a cooler with this consistent of a temperature range.
A bit more extreme
Generally I would stop my testing at this point, but I wanted to see what happened when we went a good bit above the rated heat output of the peltier. I mean if we are going to overclock, we are very likely going to be well in excess of 73 watts anyway.
The victim in this final test was a little Thoroughbred 1700+ processor. But to get things heated up nicely, I overclocked it to 2004MHz and set the core voltage to 1.75v, which is 0.1v higher than default. This results in a heat output of 80.0 watts. All other system settings and ambient temperatures were consistent with previous tests.
To save you the effort of having to sort through yet another graph, I'll just state that the results were a bit off the mark. Idle temperatures with the SubZero4G unit installed were 41 degrees Celsius and the result after a refreshing round in a Quake III Arena Deathmatch were a dismal 47.5 degrees Celsius. To give you an idea how it rates with a reasonable air cooler, I ran these same tests using a Cooler Master X-Dream SE heatsink and had results of 35.5C and 40.5C respectively.
So as you can see for yourself, when you start getting well above the 73 watt limit of this peltier cooling system, you start getting very drastic changes in temperature.

If Crist Runs as Independent, New Challenge for Kendrick Meek
Categories: Broward News, Politics
Flickr: cliff1066 |
If Crist goes indy, Meek's in trouble. |
That's an eight-point deficit compared to the four points that Meek would have had to make up in a face-off against Rubio.
But for Meek, the most devastating ramification of a Crist run for independent is that it keeps Crist in the news through the fall general election season. We've already seen Meek struggle to get publicity during the Rubio-Crist soap opera. The one hope he had for staging a comeback was in those two months before the general, in which he stood to be the foil of a very conservative Rubio, allowing Meek to capture a huge pack of independent, moderate voters. That hope may soon be dashed.

When the Orlando Magic embarked on their four-game road trip to the West Coast, it was said that the players would learn a lot about themselves and as a whole, they'd figure out where they stand vis-a-vis the rest of the NBA elite — the Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics, and the San Antonio Spurs.
After the Magic went 1-3 against the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver Nuggets, one thing has become clear.
Orlando isn't an elite team or a championship contender.
Something is missing from the roster. Against the Blazers, the Magic couldn't score if their lives depended on it. Against the Jazz, it was a lack of defense. Against the Clippers, after a brilliant first quarter against one of the worst teams in the league, complacency and consistency cropped up as ever-too-familiar issues.
Against the Nuggets? There was little to no defense present from Orlando but more importantly, there was a lack of mental toughness and fight that has plagued the roster since the season began. When the going got tough in the fourth quarter, the Magic wilted and displayed a body language that emitted negativity.
Denver was able to defeat Orlando by the score of 111-94 in a game that was close for 42 minutes. After Vince Carter made a three-pointer at the 6:05 mark of the fourth quarter to pull the Magic's deficit to one point at 92-91, the Nuggets went on a 19-3 run to turn a competitive game into a blowout. Carmelo Anthony led the way for Denver, putting up 35 points and 11 rebounds. Anthony got plenty of support from his supporting cast, with five players for the Nuggets scoring in double-figures. Orlando was led by J.J. Redick, who had a career-high 29 points on 12 shots — an excellent performance. Dwight Howard finished with 21 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks. Carter chipped in with 18 points. Unfortunately for the Magic, it was a three-man show offensively between Redick, Howard, and Carter. No one else for Orlando was able to make a significant impact on the game, at least on the offensive side of the ball. The defense?
That was a different story altogether.
Because Quentin Richardson and Mickael Pietrus were unable to play due to injuries, that forced Rashard Lewis and Carter to have the dual responsibility of slowing down Anthony. Needless to say, Anthony did whatever he wanted on offense and abused whoever stood in his way.
If it was Lewis, Anthony was too quick for him on the perimeter. If it was Carter, Anthony was too strong for him in the low post.
It was a merciless performance from Anthony and to be honest, there was nothing the Magic could do about it. With the two best perimeter defenders sitting in street clothes, Orlando was at Anthony's mercy and he made them pay.
Yes, Denver got excellent contributions from their role players but it was Anthony that had his fingerprints all over this game.
As for the Magic, the offense was humming for three quarters due to a combination of great execution and porous defense from the Nuggets. Redick had a field day, partly due to his ability to score points in a variety of ways. Whether it was in pick and rolls, catch-and-shoot situations, screen and curls, it was a beautiful display from Redick and perfectly accentuated his growth as a player in the NBA. No longer is Redick a spot-up shooter; he's a scorer. Big difference.
Howard was great, as usual. With Brandon Bass in the starting lineup at power forward and Marcin Gortat manning the position as well, Howard got a lot of his buckets in 3-out/2-in offensive sets. Righty and lefty hooks, as well as the occasional jumpshot and tip-in on offensive rebounds, were the main ingredients that parlayed into Howard's 21-point performance offensively. Though it should be noted that Nene Hilario did an effective of pestering Howard at times.
All in all, Orlando's loss accentuated everything that's wrong with the team.
Jameer Nelson? Four points. There's no question that, at his best, Nelson is an All-Star caliber point guard but unfortunately the issue of consistency is something that will always plague him. The irony is that Nelson's greatest criticism — his passing ability — has been a strength for him this year. For Nelson, it's his inability to score at will that has haunted him as the Magic have struggled.
Carter? Yeah, he had 18 points but he couldn't get Orlando a basket when they needed it the most in the fourth quarter. Neither could Nelson. Want to know why the Magic continue to get bombarded with Gilbert Arenas rumors? Look no further than the performances of Nelson and Carter against Denver. It's a valid criticism and the reason Orlando is a second tier team.
Lewis? For three seasons, Lewis was the consummate teammate and did everything he could to help the Magic win games. This year? Lewis' performance has fallen off a cliff and he's become the albatross everyone feared he'd be when he was offered a maximum contract during the offseason in 2008. Lewis' decline as a player is another reason why Orlando isn't as good as they should be.
Is this an overreaction? No, it's not. It's a harsh reality.
Is it time to panic? No, it's not. It's time to be honest.
Between now and February when the trade deadline nears, general manager Otis Smith is going to have to make one of the most important decisions of his career that could affect whether or not Howard continues his tenure with the Magic.
Howard is playing the best basketball of his career and the last thing that Smith can afford is to waste his prime.
Ask the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Metro: Last Light Release Date Announced
Ryan Bloom / Mar 4th, 2013 No Comments
Metro: Last Light is set to release on May 14 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC, Deep Silver announced.
The game will release in Europe on May 17.
Deep Silver, the publisher behind the 2011 hit Dead Island, acquired the rights to Metro: Last Light from THQ after the company dissolved due to bankruptcy. Koch Media, the parent company of Deep Silver, also purchased the Saints Row franchise from THQ along with the game's development studio Volition.
This is the second time the game has been delayed. Developer 4A games says the latest delay will give the company time to add a final layer of polish to the game.
Metro: Last Light is the sequel to the 2010 survival-horror game Metro 2033. It is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the year 2034. The metro tunnels in Moscow have become a new home for the city. Players will have to fight against hordes of mutant enemies as well as other survivor factions. With a civil war on the horizon, gamers will take on the role of Artyom, the last light for mankind's survival.
Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author of the Metro 2033 novel which inspired the video game franchise, wrote the plot for Metro: Last Light. He also wrote all dialogue featured in the game. Metro 2033 and Metro 2034, Glukhovsky's novels, have sold more than two million copies worldwide. His latest book, Metro 2035, is expected to be available outside of Russia this year.
Pre-order details for Metro: Last Light are being worked out and will be revealed soon.

I was very pleased that the rug sent exactly matched the picture in color and design. I have used this as an entry way rug replacing a higher quality rug that cost 5 times what this one did. In function it is better suited for this purpose. The closed loops do not retain pine needles and dirt and the lower profile does not catch the door or little ones feet.
love it overstock sent me a great product better than i exspected high quality and shipping was fast i am very pleased and will shop again thank you
Looking to spruce up a family room and wanted to match some curtains I purchased. On screen, they matched and in person, they are perfect. This is a really pretty, fun rug. FIts in our traditional home but would also be great in a more contemporary home.
This rug is great and beautiful! The colors are as shown and it feels pretty soft on my feet! Awesome but for the price!!! Definitely recommend this!!!
It took some time to make it flat, even though I used steamer.....won't help & it was an issue. So, one month later, it became flat on my floor.
This rug is great in terms of price and holding up well with three dogs and a baby, but the style is darker than it appears. If that's what you're looking for, then great. It just didn't fit with my decor as I hoped.

Choosing a Good Summer Camp
Does the camp fit my child's interests?
Camp themes range in topic from academic-centered to the outdoors to specialized topics such as art, music, or even animals. First, speak with your children about their interests.
What is the age of the campers?
It may seem obvious, but make sure you check on the recommended age limit for the camp. You certainly don't want your six-year-old arriving for the first day of camp to find out all the other kids are age 10 or older.
How long is the camp day?
Is it a half-day, full-day, or sleepover camp? Be sure to base your final decision on your child's age, interests, and emotional maturity.
What is the camp setting and how far is it from home?
Note if the camp is strictly outdoors and if the facilities are clean. Determine if you and your child will be comfortable with a camp minutes or hours away from home.
What are the qualifications of the camp counselors adn how many are there per child?
Check to see if the counselors have experience working with children. If the counselors are young (teenagers), check to make sure they have proper supervision.
What are the camp's safety procedures?
Counselors should know child CPR and what to do if there is a medical emergency. Check out which hospitals are close by the camp site.
What is the camp size and who can attend the camp?
Is the camp for 20 children or 200? Is it just for boys or girls or for both? Pick a camp based on what your child will be comfortable with.
If your child has special needs, can the camp accomodate them?
Be sure the camp can provide the supervision and care your child needs.
What is the cost of the camp?
The needs to fit within your budget. There are plenty of options out there, so don't feel guilty if you can't afford "the one camp" your child wants to attend.

Re: Merge Join Conditions
Hi Alex,
Yeah its possible to do that. I wrote the patch for it on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-959 but I didnt get a chance to do much testing on it. Now it probably wont apply. But if you want it I can get back it in sync and then you can apply it on trunk and use it. The output of merge join will indeed be sorted on the join key. But your specific example may not benefit from that fact. If you have multi-way join, it will probably be better to do a regular hash join, where you can join n relations in one MR job, instead of requiring n MR jobs.

Packers RB Benson to remain on IR for season
RB had surgery to fix injured foot
Published On: Nov 30 2012 07:04:04 AM CST
Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season after having surgery on his foot.
The Packers made the announcement Thursday, one day after coach Mike McCarthy says Benson had surgery.
Benson was placed on injured reserve but designated to return on Oct. 10 after spraining his left foot. He was eligible to resume practice, and could have played as early as Dec. 9 against Detroit. But he never did practice, and said last week he was considering surgery.
Benson finishes the year with 248 yards rushing on 71 carries.

(CNN) -- A Ford pickup truck crammed with nearly two dozen people crashed in southeastern Texas on Sunday evening, killing at least 13 people and injuring 10 others.
At least six of the victims were airlifted to hospitals in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, said Trooper Gerald Bryant of the Texas Highway Patrol. All of their conditions were not immediately available, but two later died of injuries suffered in the accident.
At least two of the dead are children, troopers told CNN affiliate KTRK in Houston.
"There were multiple occupants in the front of the cab portion and multiple occupants in the bed of the pickup truck," Lt. Glen Garrett of the state Department of Public Safety told CNN affiliate KIII-TV.
Border patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were called to the scene.
"Based on the mode of travel, the way that the people were in the vehicle, it's a high probability there were illegal immigrants traveling northbound on 59," Garrett said.
The F-250 was headed north on U.S. Highway 59 when it left the road near the unincorporated town of Goliad -- about 90 miles southeast of San Antonio -- and rammed into two large trees, Bryant said. The victims were both male and female and were children and adults.
"In my 38 years as an officer, this is one of the worst fatalities I have been to and I have never seen where we had that many in a vehicle," Bryant told KTRK.
The weather was dry and clear at the time of the crash, and there was no evidence of alcohol at the scene, he said No other vehicles were involved in the wreck. It is uncertain why the truck left the highway.
