Prevents return to work almost as often as physical disability does, study shows
THURSDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- Depression stops stroke victims from returning to work almost as often as physical disability does, Australian researchers report.
The study of 210 men and women, average age 55, who had paying jobs before a stroke found that 112 of them returned to work within six months -- about the same ratio as in a recent U.S. study, said researchers at the George Institute for International Health in Sydney. Their report appears in the March 28 issue of Stroke.
In developed countries, roughly 20 percent of stroke victims are still young enough to be part of the workforce, the researchers noted.
Of those study participants who went back to work, 71 percent were rated as physically independent. Thirty-three percent of those working were diagnosed with post-stroke depression, compared with 45 percent of those who had not returned to their jobs.
"Physicians should continually assess patients' mood after a stroke, because it's an important predictor of whether patients will go back to work," study author Dr. Nick Glozier said in a statement.
Only 30 percent of the stroke survivors with depression had received treatment for their psychiatric problem, the researchers found.
"We know that people who have gone through an illness such as a heart attack or stroke have a higher incidence of dysphoria or anxiety after the event," said Joanne Festa, an assistant professor of clinical neuropsychiatry at Columbia University who has done work on post-stroke depression.
"Having an acute illness such as a stroke in itself is upsetting," she said. "And, of course, with a stroke there is the possibility of cognitive impairment leading to depression. These people should be assessed, and any depression should be treated."
Younger patients in the Australian study were more l

Rare and Desirable 1853 Assay Office 884 Thous. From the John Ford Sale1853 $20 Assay Office Twenty Dollar, 884 Thous. MS62 PCGS. K-17. High R.6. The surfaces are attractive for a double eagle of this period, with copious luster in the fields and minimal signs of handling. The rarity is understandable considering these were only struck for eight days, February 23, 1853 until March 1, 1853, with the vast majority later melted and recoined by the San Francisco Mint once it was up and running in 1854. On the die work, we note the 884 THOUS is engraved over 880 on the ribbon. We also note an engraving slip on the C of AMERICA, on the inside lower loop. Examination of the reverse finds little to distract from the magnificent die engraving of engine turned pattern which seems incongruous with the stark block lettering at the center. This particular coin is identifiable by a small neck nick on the eagle, a jagged scratch hidden in the right wing, and a nick under the F of OF on the obverse. The reverse is quite clean save for a few infinitesimal nicks of no importance. As to the raw numbers to survive, the combined NGC and PCGS Population reports show a total of three coins graded this high, with a scant two pieces seen finer of this important and elusive issue. Listed on page 299 of the 2005 Guide Book.

2008 Acura TL Q&A
2008 Acura TL Question: Fixing idiot lights
When getting gas the guy pumping didn't tighten the gas cap and or I had the car running which created a light to go on. The light sort of looks like an outline of a video camera. I have taken it to several places and they get the light to go away until the next morning when turning the car on. I have also disconnected the battery for 15 minutes and reconnected with no luck, the light came back the next morning. Do you know how to fix it? - astoria
Answer 1
first, you need to have the code pulled to see what system is asking for help. the gas cap will not set the ligh right away because it has to fail the teat 3 times before the light will come on. it is something electrical due to how fast the light returns, the next time the light goes on, do not reset the light. get it checked with the light on so the tech can get the feeze frame data to see when the failre ooccured.

"Development Redefined offers an invaluable rethinking of development theory and practice by two of the world's most respected scholars/citizens. Their experience, insight, knowledge, activist commitment, and engaging style make this book indispensable reading for anyone concerned with global economic justice and making the world a better place." -- Richard Falk, professor at Princeton University and the University of California-Santa Barbara
"The gripping story of the big lies, the sly co-optations and the backroom deals that disguised a fierce contest as a fake consensus.

Trustee chair's message
Trustee Chair 2014-15
June 2015
Each month, I have tried to highlight various priorities of our organization's largest charity, The Rotary Foundation. They were my own thoughts, but I hope you found them helpful.
Our principal goal is the eradication of polio. Some of you may ask why we are still pursuing this when many of your countries haven't had a new case of polio for years. It is important to remember that we gave our word to eradicate polio, but we have not yet done so. We must continue until we finish the job – until all the children of the world are free from this dreaded disease.
It is surely the wish in all our hearts that there is peace in our world. Our Foundation is endeavoring to advance this wish with the establishment of Rotary Peace Centers in various parts of the world – a pertinent program in these troubled times.
Our Annual Fund goal of US$123 million is still achievable if our giving continues at the same generous level. Every Rotarian should give to the Foundation, each according to his or her means.
In my final message, I would like to express my thanks to those dedicated Rotarians who have supported our Foundation during the year simply by doing good in the world. I am always conscious that Rotary is a volunteer organization. The important work of our organization is undertaken by the Rotarians who are helping those less fortunate in their own communities, and in communities throughout the world that they may never even see.
I have always deemed it an honor to have been president and trustee chair. Thank you for giving me that privilege.
Remember, the future of Rotary is in your hands.
May 2015
As we enter into May, we have two months left to ensure that you have made your contribution to Rotary's charity, our Rotary Foundation.
There is still time to ensure that it is greater than it was last year – our goal for the Annual Fund is US$123 million, the highest it's ever been. There's still time to ensure that we achieve our goal. And there's still time to ensure that your contribution enables our Foundation to continue to do good in the world – and that you can have the personal satisfaction of contributing to this in a meaningful way.
Remember that the good we can do is limited only by the contributions we receive.
May means that there's also just over one month until the Rotary International Convention in São Paulo, Brazil. Convention delegates like to know who will be speaking.
This year we have outstanding speakers on Foundation-related topics, both at the convention and at the Rotary Peace Symposium held immediately prior to the convention. They include Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Oscar Arias, Australian entrepreneur Steve Killelea, Rotary Peace Fellow Katia de Mello Dantas, and Global Alumni Service to Humanity Award winner Geetha Jayaram.
Arias was president of Costa Rica from 1986 to 1990 and 2006 to 2010, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his role as architect and peace-broker in ending multiple conflicts in Central America. Arias continues to be an international force for peace-building through his personal activities and the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress.
Killelea is an Australian entrepreneur and philanthropist, known internationally as the developer of the Global Peace Index. In 2007, he established the Institute for Economics and Peace as a vehicle to build a greater understanding of the interconnection between business, peace, and economics.
Dantas received her master's degree in international development policy from Duke University in 2009. She works tirelessly on behalf of vulnerable children as the Latin America and Caribbean policy director for the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
I look forward to seeing you in São Paulo.
April 2015
When the new grant model for The Rotary Foundation was introduced under the Future Vision Plan, the Trustees decided that it should be reviewed in the 2015-16 Rotary year so that your experiences could help make our processes as effective as possible.
The Trustees recognize that grants involve many participants who may have different expectations, so I have appointed an independent committee of four past RI presidents to ensure that all views will be considered, and to ensure confidentiality to anyone who may want it.
The committee would like to hear about your experiences with the areas of focus and district and global grants, and to seek your ideas for any improvements that could make our Rotary Foundation the best possible. It comprises myself and Past RI Presidents Kalyan Banerjee, Ray Klinginsmith, and Bill Boyd, who will serve as chair. We welcome your suggestions, which you can email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will read and analyze your ideas and meet at the Rotary International Convention in São Paulo, Brazil, to decide on any items that should be given to the Trustees Programs Committee. That committee will undertake the necessary surveys to ensure we are reflecting the opinions of every Rotary member, and will report back to us at the January 2016 International Assembly. We intend to make our recommendations at the April 2016 meeting of the Trustees.
We seek your support to ensure that our Rotary Foundation continues to do good in the world in the best possible way.
March 2015
Now that the first year of the new grant model has been completed, it's time to see how it's working. One of the most positive outcomes is that more clubs and districts have banded together to implement larger, more sustainable projects. Our Rotary Foundation funded 488 district grants worth a total of $23.5 million and 868 global grants worth $47.3 million.
The Trustees are mindful of their fiduciary duty to ensure that Foundation funds are spent wisely. To help achieve this, clubs and districts have the support of The Rotary Foundation Cadre of Technical Advisers. These are Rotarian volunteers who have been vetted as specialists in one or more areas of focus, or in financial audits. Last year, on behalf of the Trustees, these volunteers carried out more than 153 assignments. Forty-four were technical (desk) reviews prior to funding approval, and 68 were mandatory on-site screenings for larger projects, either before approval or during the projects' implementation. The cadre also conducted 41 audits of projects and districts.
We have learned that some sponsors of global grants have struggled with needs assessments, sustainability, and monitoring and evaluation. This is where the cadre can be of practical assistance, so its members have been asked to increase their availability to grant sponsors from the start of the application process. Clubs and districts that sponsor grants can access this assistance by contacting their regional grants officer.
We are looking to add volunteers to our cadre in all areas of focus and in auditing. If you are interested in joining, email email@example.com for more information.
The aim of the Trustees is to make the new grant model as user-friendly as possible to clubs and districts.
February 2015
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Birmingham, England. Bangkok, Thailand. São Paulo, Brazil!
Every three years, The Rotary Foundation sponsors a peace symposium as a preconvention activity. The next peace symposium will be held in São Paulo, 4-5 June.
The triennial peace symposium is the vehicle to showcase our Rotary Peace Fellows, who earn master's degrees and certificates through our Rotary Peace Centers; to educate Rotarians about this peace-related education and scholarship program; to introduce our donors and potential donors to the program; and to explore ways that Rotarians and peace fellows can collaborate in peace-building. Highlights of each symposium have included international speakers in the peace field, such as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu; breakout sessions featuring peace fellows working on the front lines to build peace; and Rotarians active in the peace field.
This year, the first plenary session will feature 1987 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias Sánchez of Costa Rica. He is a two-time president of Costa Rica, 1986-90 and 2006-10. During his first presidential term, he engaged the nations of Central America in peace discussions that led to the signing of the Esquipulas II Accords, and ultimately to the end of the various armed conflicts in the region.
The plans of the São Paulo peace symposium committee are creative and exciting, with elements not offered at past symposia. They will involve the 80 Rotary Peace Centers alumni in attendance.
If you have never attended a peace symposium, this is a special opportunity that will inform and educate you on Rotary's service to promote peace. If you have attended any of the symposia in Salt Lake City, Birmingham, or Bangkok, you will especially appreciate this innovative program.
I look forward to seeing you there!
January 2015
January: In Roman times, this was symbolized by the two-headed god Janus – one head looking back and one head looking forward.
This is the time for us to take stock and see, of the goals we set for ourselves at the start of the year, how many we have achieved, and how we can fully realize all of them by the end of this Rotary year.
How are we meeting our goal of polio eradication? Did we encourage our district to give 20 percent of its District Designated Fund toward the eradication of this terrible disease? Are we supporting National Immunization Days? There is still much to do. The number of polio cases in Pakistan in 2014 far exceeded the number in 2013.
Have you made your contribution to our charity – our only charity – our Rotary Foundation? Have we impressed on those Rotarians who have not made a contribution the need to do so? The number of Rotarians who have not given to our Foundation far exceeds the number who have given, and we need to reverse that statistic. Our target for the Annual Fund is US$123 million. Let us ensure that we reach it.
Have you considered taking advantage of the new grants program by using district or global grants? Last year, 858 district grants and 492 global grants were awarded.
Have you nominated a Rotary Peace Fellow candidate? Have you sought out a Major Donor to help fund the program? Have you registered for the Rotary Peace Symposium, just prior to the Rotary International Convention in São Paulo, Brazil, in June?
I have always held the belief that if the message of Rotary does not get to the Rotarian and the club, it loses its thrust. The Rotary club is the heartbeat of Rotary. What you make of the remaining months of the year, as you endeavor to Light Up Rotary, is up to you.
My New Year best wishes.
December 2014
In his inaugural address, U.S. President John F. Kennedy made this often quoted exhortation: "Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country."
The same sentiments could be applied to the membership of Rotary.
Whether Rotary will survive or whether it will falter, whether our service will mean much to many or little to few, whether Rotary is known with respect or seen as a relic of days gone by, will be up to each and every Rotarian.
There is so much to be done in our world – to educate the illiterate, feed the hungry, provide shelter to the homeless. Our world is still ill divided, and the gap is not shrinking between the haves and the have-nots. But to whom much has been given, much is expected.
The most important people in Rotary are not the directors of the Board or the trustees of our Rotary Foundation, but the individual Rotarians working quietly in their clubs to assist those in communities who are less fortunate than themselves, for whom they know the need is great. This is Rotary at its finest: Rotarians identifying a need and responding to it.
For many, this is a special time of year. May it bring to each of you the blessings that it offers.
As we Light Up Rotary, let us remember that the future of our Foundation is in your hands.
November 2014
It is surely the wish in all our hearts that there is peace in our world.
Our Rotary Foundation is endeavoring to advance this with the establishment of Rotary Peace Centers in various parts of the globe.
The Rotary Peace Centers are the premier educational program of the Foundation, and this year I am asking Rotarians to foster world understanding, goodwill, and peace by promoting and publicizing the program so its work is enhanced.
The program funds up to 100 Rotary Peace Fellowships per year, for fellows to study at one of the Foundation's specially chosen universities. Fellows can earn a master's degree in peace and conflict resolution or a related field at Duke University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in the United States; University of Queensland in Australia; Uppsala University in Sweden; University of Bradford in England; and International Christian University in Japan. Additionally, our professional development certificate program in peace and conflict resolution is offered through Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.
The idea of the Rotary Peace Centers is to create a cadre of individuals who are dedicated to peace and conflict resolution, and who have been given the tools to succeed in their efforts. Since the program began in 2002, nearly 900 peace fellows have been engaged in peace activities throughout the world, working for nongovernmental organizations, government agencies, the World Health Organization, World Bank, and others.
To fund the program, the Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts Initiative has set a target of US$125 million by the end of this Rotary year. This is an achievable goal, but it needs your continuing financial support.
This is a program pertinent to the 21st century, and one worthy of all Rotarians' support.
In these days of anger, of anguish, of uncertainty in our world, it is important to remember that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations.
October 2014
In each of my monthly messages, I have endeavored to highlight one individual Rotary Foundation goal for 2014-15.
This month, I wish to speak about the new grant structure and the reasons for its introduction. The Foundation Trustees identified a number of growing needs to improve efficiency, to streamline operations, and to focus efforts so as to achieve greater impact and public recognition.
Prior to Future Vision, the Foundation was processing over 4,000 grants per year, and the average humanitarian grant was US$12,500. With many of the grants smaller than this figure, the cost to administer the grants was increasing at a significant rate, and we needed more staff to process the growing number of applications.
In addition to striving for improved efficiency, the Trustees aimed for greater simplicity and a more streamlined process. The Rotary Foundation had 12 different programs, each with its own requirements and application procedures, to support educational and humanitarian objectives. We now have only two grant types: district grants and global grants.
By simplifying the process, the Trustees hope to enable Rotarians to reach a greater number of people to do good in the world; to provide a more efficient grants-making system, awarding fewer grants and large amounts at a reduced operational cost; and to give clubs and districts more ownership over the grant process.
I urge you to ensure the progress of our new grant structure through your continued participation in our educational and humanitarian projects.
September 2014
Help us reach our goal.
Rotarians are generous people. They give to many good, charitable causes in their communities but in many instances do not support their own charity: The Rotary Foundation.
This Rotary year, I would like to see every Rotary club make a contribution to our Rotary Foundation.
Remember that the good we do in the world is limited only by the contributions we receive. And when we give to our Foundation, we are not sending cash to Evanston – we are helping a blind man to see, a polio victim to walk, a child to grow to adulthood healthily, a student to become better educated, and a family to have food to eat.
Each year, the trustees of The Rotary Foundation set a goal for the Annual Fund – the fund that feeds the World Fund. This year, the goal is US$123 million, with each Rotarian being asked to contribute a minimum of $100. I am conscious that this figure would mean more in some countries than others. But Rotarians should give according to their means.
The slogan Every Rotarian, Every Year means exactly that. Every Rotarian should make a contribution to our Foundation every year. Make it a priority this year to impress on your club the importance of every club supporting our Foundation in some way.
As I said at the outset, Rotarians are generous people. I am sure you will translate that generosity into giving to our Rotary Foundation.
It is up to each and every one of us to do so.
August 2014
This year, we must finish the job.
Almost three decades ago, we Rotarians made a choice to give something far more important than money. We chose to give our word – our word that we would eradicate the poliovirus and create a future free of the disease.
But we haven't yet kept that word. We haven't yet made the earth polio-free. And in the words of Henry Ford, "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."
In Rotary, we have been saying for many years that we are going to eliminate polio. It is my hope that there will soon come a time when we will be able to say that we've done it.
Rotarians throughout the world have been walking this road for many years. Polio eradication has been part of Rotary for decades now. We talk about it, we work toward it, and we've raised money for it – a great deal of money, over more than one campaign already. And now we are asking our fellow Rotarians, and being asked ourselves, to do and give more.
We recognize that there will be those who feel they have given enough already to the cause of polio eradication – those who feel we have done enough, and that it is time to move on. To those I say: If we pause, if we slacken now, if we say "almost" is the same as "did," we risk losing all that we have already given. We risk our own good name and the good name of all the Rotarians who came before us.
This is something that we as Rotarians cannot and will not accept. We must continue until we finish the job.
July 2014
Goals for a new year.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve this Rotary year as chair of our Rotary Foundation. And we should be proud to call it our Foundation, for each day millions of people are touched by the magic of Rotary – made possible only by the service and dedication of Rotarians throughout the world.
Our Foundation is the engine that drives the Rotary machine. It gives us the chance to see and fulfill the opportunities for service both within our community and internationally.
Your Foundation Trustees have set five goals for the year.
The first goal is the eradication of the poliovirus from the face of the earth. We have much to be proud of in our efforts to rid the world of this dreaded disease, but we must finish the job. We cannot let up in our efforts. We cannot undo all the good work that has been done in the past.
Our second goal is to continue to support Rotary's own charity, The Rotary Foundation, through our contributions. The good that we do is limited only by what we receive. Let us ensure that clubs who have made no contributions to our Foundation do so this year.
Our third goal is to ensure the progress of our new grants program by participating in sustainable educational and humanitarian projects.
Our fourth goal is to foster goodwill and peace by promoting and publicizing the Rotary Peace Centers program, whose purpose is to create a cadre of individuals dedicated to peace and conflict resolution.
Our fifth goal is to emphasise that the responsibility for the future of our Foundation is in all our hands so that we can continue doing good in the world as we endeavor to Light Up Rotary.
I look forward to your support.

The Central Buttress is an all time classic up a wilderness dome with an alpine feel. Straightforward route finding via a natural line easily spied from the Fish Camp below. The first bolt in the last section of aid is the worst bolt either of us had seen. Bent and hanging mostly out of the rock, this bolt desperately needs to be replaced.
Props to Ken Trout for the first ascent of this visionary line.

|Did this route in 7/11 and found it to be half excellent (splitter dihedrals) and half terrible (big, loose blocks I wish we had kicked off/bushes and grass). We did it in 6 pitches and went off route on our pitch 4 (the right side of the dihedral - don't do it - it was very scary, wet, loose, 5.8 climbing with some 5.10 moves and a 5.12- crack we aided). I presumed there was going to be a 5.10 OW but the only offwidth section we found was more like 5.8 and no problem unless the OW section is on the "5.8" pitch above the stellar 5.9 roof crack that is pictured here. We brought doubles from blue TCU's up to new C4 #3s and a #4 and #5. Both of the big one's came in handy on pitches 1 and 4 (for the OW). This was a big adventure and fun, but brutal to do in 3 days. If I knew anything about replacing bolts, I would have replaced "the worst looking bolt in the world." I remember it being a Star drive an inch and a half out of the rock. It held me stepping onto it and needed to aid up to it and through it to the next bolt (pretty airy!). The walk off was brutal and we could not walk down to the bottom - we made it within 20 feet and left a sling and biner - wet, tall bushes, rocky - we were spent at the end of the day and did not enjoy the flat hike out. I will rent horses the next time I go out there...but it was a great adventure.

|Awesome adventure climbing!! We had the intention of replacing the "worst bolt in the world", but lightning and rain made us bail on day one of climbing. Day two we just wanted to get to the top of the route and descend before it got dark. We cleaned some huge loose blocks off the route, but more still needs to be done. I thought the pitch off the pedestal was kinda hard. Props to the FA party on an awesome line.

Sony took to their PlayStation blog yesterday to congratulate Sucker Punch for Infamous: Second Son racking up a million copies sold just nine days after launch. While it's no earth-shattering COD or GTA total, those numbers are quite good, and definitely the best in the series' history.
The news got me thinking about the fate of the other big next-gen launch title released within the past month, Titanfall. How has the game sold since its much-anticipated launch?
Finding information about sales of the game isn't easy, and is generally a lot of speculation and incomplete data. You won't find Microsoft or EA blog posts boasting about sales milestones for Titanfall. Rather, you'll see a loose collection of blogs content to guess at totals, and then VGChartz saying the game has sold 1.45M copies worldwide…as of two weeks ago…in retail stores, which is the only thing they can track.
It seems odd that given Titanfall's high profile, more information hasn't been released about sales of the game.
For example Infamous on the PS4 seems to be a case of a less-hyped game beating expectations both in terms of quality, fan engagement and sales. The game well-received among critics and PS4 owners, and sold better than past games. Though the game looked good, it really wasn't heavily advertised, and yet, sales and praise was huge with over 1 million copies sold within 9 days.Titanfall is proving to be a somewhat stranger case. It rolled in with a huge head of steam, and the review scores to match. But very shortly after release, the buzz seemed to fade abnormally quickly. Players tore through the game's limited modes, wanted more, and there really wasn't much else to do. The game is going to be patched and updated with much more content in the future, but so far, it doesn't feel like the game has capitalized on the goodwill it had ahead of, and even during launch,, but the fact that neither Microsoft, EA or Respawn seems to want to talk sales at all says that it may not have been the unequivocal home run they were hoping for. Perhaps they've found themselves in a Tomb Raider sold-millions-but-still-not-a-success trap which is an unfortunate byproduct of the massively expensive AAA game era.Titanfall sold in a bundle pack which was cheaper than the RRP of the Standalone Xbox One in some places, it had a huge advertising campaign, huge hype behind it and has only sold 1.25 million copies globally according to VGChartz which is only 250k more than Infamous. EA have said Microsoft didnt secure the sequel as an exclusive and originally I thought it was because they'd make more money if they made it multiplatform but I'm starting to think Microsoft didn't pick it up because it was a failure for a AAA title.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - NOVEMBER 8: Eli Manning #10 of the New York Giants drops back to pass against the San Diego Chargers at Giants Stadium on November 8, 2009 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Chargers defeated the Giants 21-20. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
The Carolina Panthers could learn a thing or two from Eli Manning when it comes to finishing games. After losing six games last season in which they were either tied or leading in the fourth quarter, the Panthers are still learning how to put away an opponent. It's a skill Manning has pretty much mastered. Manning, whom the Panthers will face Thursday night when they host the New York Giants, has become one of the league's most proficient ''finishers,'' on par with former greats Dan Marino and John Elway. Manning has engineered 26 fourth-quarter comeback wins for the Giants, five of those in the postseason. He had an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter comebacks last season, including one on the biggest stage of all when he led the Giants to a come-from-behind victory against New England in the Super Bowl. ''I mean, the guy is Captain Comeback,'' said Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn. And he's at it again. Manning's latest mini-miracle came Sunday when he shrugged off three ...

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Australia-listed ferrosilicon alloy and manganese producer OM Holdings Ltd. has secured commitments attached to around US$300 million of project finance, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
The debt will be split into U.S. dollars and Malaysian ringgit, and will fund the first phase of construction and production at a smelting project in Malaysia's Sarawak state.
For Lynas, the hurdles just keep coming.
Not only has work under its recently granted operating license been suspended for at least a month by a Malaysian court, but the company now also faces more obstacles in terms of cash flow, market analysts say.
While it's likely Lynas can get through the immediate period with an expanded working capital facility, the Sydney-based company could well need alternative funding if the start-up of its newly built Malaysian refinery is further delayed. There have even been suggestions of an equity raising.
CIMB TrustCapital Advisors, a joint venture fund between Malaysia's second-largest bank by assets, CIMB Group Holdings and Singapore-based TrustCapital Advisors, said Sunday it acquired its fourth Australian property from the Stockland Trust for 56 million Australian dollars (US$57.3 million).
The fund bought 150 Charlotte Street, an 18 story office building in Brisbane's central business district, with several floors of the property are already leased to Walker Corporation, Energex and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the fund said in a statement. Walker agreed to five years of rent support that will provide the fund with an initial yield of 8.7% on a fully-leased basis in the first year with annual increments of 4% over the next five years, it added.
Away from the booming casinos of Macau and Singapore, Australia is getting some unusual attention in the gambling world after a Malaysian company bought a second small stake in local casino operator Echo Entertainment Group.
Genting Bhd., operator of Singapore's Resort World Sentosa, said Monday it purchased a 2.6% stake in Echo for 82.6 million Australian dollars (US$83.6 million), coming a less than a month after the purchase of what Australian media said was a 4.9% stake. The company wouldn't confirm the size of that stake.
The allure of Australia for most Asian investment funds generally lies in the riches buried beneath the ground.
Malaysian alternative investment private-equity group Asiasons Capital, however, has snapped up one of the country's more colorful exports: a group of children's TV performers.
The children's pop musical and dance group known as Hi-5 has not been around quite as long as The Wiggles–that other Australian pre-school troupe famous for its brightly-colored costumes–but it too has managed to reach audiences in Europe, North America, Asia and Latin America with a good degree of commercial success.
From Dow Jones Newswires' Jason Ng:
Malaysia's Starhill Real Estate Investment Trust has signed pacts to buy three Marriott hotels in Australia for 415 million Australian dollars (US$411 million), a company statement on Wednesday said, confirming a Deal Journal Australia report from May 18.
Following the completion of the acquisitions of the Sydney Harbour, Brisbane and Melbourne Marriott Hotels, Starhill REIT will have the largest portfolio of overseas property investments of any Malaysian REIT, the statement added.
Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund has committed to invest in assets Down Under alongside listed property player Goodman Group.
An initial Australian portfolio of 400 million Australian dollars (US$389 million) will be sourced from Goodman and its managed funds and their combined equity commitment for Australia will be A$500 million, Goodman said in a statement. Goodman will have an initial 40% interest in the portfolio with EPF holding 60%.
It's Sydney's closest link to Wall Street and where retirees gather to monitor of their portfolio of stocks.
Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) or KWAP has completed its acquisition of the ASX building at 20 Bridge Street, Sydney for 185 million Australian dollars (US$191 million).
Insurance companies are by nature cautious so it's a surprise to see one complete two deals in three trading days.
After taking out New Zealand's largest insurer Friday for 380 million New Zealand dollars (US$287 million), Insurance Australia Group announced Tuesday its joint venture AmG Insurance has submitted a proposal to acquire Kurnia Asia's principal general insurance business Kurnia Insurans for an undisclosed price, believed by the market to be less than 250 million Australian dollars (US$248 million).
In line with AmG's stated strategy, the group will obtain a leading position in the Malaysian motor insurance market. According to Deutsche Bank, regulatory approval of the transaction will give AmG a lift in market share to above 20% from 8%.
Collins Foods certainly hasn't put corporates off their Kentucky Fried Chicken. A relevant read from our Deal Journal colleagues based in Asia about what could be Malaysia's largest-ever buyout.
By Isabella Steger and Jason Ng
Pizzas, fried chicken and burgers are good for you—if you're a private-equity firm.
As Dow Jones Newswires reports Thursday, CVC Capital Partners and Johor Corp., the investment arm of the Malaysian state of Johor, have teamed up on a $1.64 billion bid for the operators of more than 900 Pizza Hut and KFC restaurants in the fast-growing markets of Southeast Asia and India. It could be Malaysia's largest-ever buyout.

Editor's NoteHOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL: Vincent Price has one of his juiciest roles in this haunted-house thriller as millionaire playboy Frederick Loren, who invites five guests out to a genuine haunted house, offering them each $10,000 if they spend the night. Elisha Cook Jr. plays one of the guests, a nervous alcoholic who has been in this house before and witnessed some terrible things. Mr. Loren's beautiful but treacherous wife (Carol Ohmart) is also present--and might be out to kill Frederick during the course of the evening; then again, he might be out to kill her. Severed heads, a skeleton, an acid vat, ghostly screams, and a noose that creeps around on its own and strangles unsuspecting victims are just some of the treats in a film that has been spooking delighted audiences on late-night TV for decades. Producer-director William Castle (THE TINGLER) claimed this was filmed in a process called Emergo, which meant that at a key moment a glow-in-the-dark skeleton on a wire was rigged to sail over the audience's heads. The skeleton is long since gone, but the goofy thrills remain in this classic tale, from a script by Robb White.LAST MAN ON EARTH: Based on Richard Matheson's SF thriller I AM LEGEND, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is about a man who survives a global plague only to be stalked nightly by zombielike victims who call out his name. Vincent Price stars as Robert Morgan, a scientist who tried desperately to come up with a cure for an airborne virus that was killing people around the globe. Although he could not develop a serum in time to save his family, he himself seems to be immune from the disease. Thus, he is left to wander the streets by day, staking zombies, then barricading himself in his house each night as the zombies try to break in and kill him. Price is excellent in the role, going about his horrible business as if it were just another day: waking up and eating breakfast, putting on a suit, calmly staking the zombies, making dinner, listening to records at night. But when he suddenly sees what looks like another living soul out in the daylight, his world is suddenly turned inside out.THE BAT: Based on the gothic novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart, this haunted-house mystery casts Agnes Moorehead as a mystery writer who has just moved into a spooky old mansion. It's former owner was recently killed, but not before hiding one million ill-gotten dollars somewhere in the house. Now, a nefarious killer known only as the "Bat" is trying to find the money, while bodies and mysteries accrue in this strange old house. Filmed before in 1915 (silent), 1926 (silent) and 1930 (talkie).

Customer Reviews of House on Haunted Hill/Bat/Last Man on Earth
I couldn't pass up the cheap price4/29/2004
I wanted to get both "the last man on earth" and "Carnival of Souls" and wow! here was a DVD that had both plus two other movies! However, you get what you pay for, it appears that a digital camera recorded the movies from a projected film... no straight film to DVD transfer.. watchable but?? Are there better versions out there? Still a deal for about 5 bucks. By the way "Last man on earth" is the story Charleton Heston's "Omega Man" and I think most of the Living Dead movies were all sort of based on.. pretty neat with Vincent Price.

Tom Brady, Vince Wilfork, Steve Gregory Feast on Turkey After Thanksgiving Victory Over Jets (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/23/12
FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots looks on in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Turkey tastes even better after a victory. Tom Brady and the Patriots were too busy trouncing the Jets 49-19 on Thursday night to worry about a Thanksgiving meal, but that didn't stop a few of New England's standouts from enjoying some bird after the game. Brady, Vince Wilfork and Steve Gregory caught up with Michele Tafoya after feasting on Rex Ryan's Jets, and the trio received quite the treat. Brady, Wilfork and Gregory each broke off a turkey leg and starting going to town on their postgame meal. Perhaps the best part of the whole situation, however, was Brady looking a little unsure as to how to approach everything. Hopefully, Brady ended up saving some for Rodney Harrison, as he claimed he was going to. Check out the victory feast in the video below.

What Makes the NY Kids Club Summer Camp Different?
We take an academic approach towards summer camp because we believe that children should continue learning all year long. Our curriculum has been designed to engage, inspire, and challenge campers socially and intellectually and physically.
Every minute of every day is exciting and purposeful. Time is never spent watching movies, napping or in extensive periods of free time.
Many camps have multiple activities for the children, but without a creative theme, activities can get stale quickly. Not at the NY Kids Club - every day is a new and exciting adventure!
All activities take place in our state-of-the-art air-conditioned facility. We make the most of our time with your child, and leave playground time for you!
Every week we send you a newsletter letting you know exactly what's happening so you can be a part of your child's camp experience and can share in the learning and fun.
Our nurturing, professional, full time teachers are your camp counselors, not high school students hired just for the summer.
A low 6 to 1 student/teacher ratio.
A customer service team committed to ensuring your satisfaction.

Dean folds. I thought these guys were better than this. I am not encouraged by the notion that this isn't "a real issue." People vote for all kinds of reasons. I don't expect to speak for anyone else, but it's very hard for me to muster any enthusiasm for a party that endorses broad societal bullying. More than that it's very hard for me to endorse a party that will say to the American people, "Don't think too much."

Here is a fun bookmark project.
Niamh just finished her first Harry Potter book, and she wanted a special, magnetic bookmark like one I was using. (I have a thing for bookmarks. Especially the cute magnetic bookmark packs. I have a drawer corner full of them. Yikes.)
But, they are super easy to make, too.
Two magnetic stickers on the inside flaps, and you have a bookmark that doesn't budge. Mine is 3.75" x 8" (folded in half of course).
I used this new stamp for the front. (Coupon code MAY30 will get you 30% off any order through Saturday!!)
And now Niamhy has a Harry Potter-esque bookmark for the second book...and all the rest.
We have also selected the winners of the coloring challenge. I am late announcing them (by, oh, just a month). April was just too full for me. Darwin (our cat) died during a routine vet appointment (that was a rough few days), I worked through a major illustration project, and I also worked on a couple manuscripts on the side for an upcoming writer's conference. We homeschool and intentionally try to live on mission with our friends and church family, too. Needless to say, blogging never made it on the radar. I am hoping for some quieter months ahead. And who knows. Maybe a blog more than once every two months during the summer;).
Here are the four winners:
My DT selected Zoe's project.
Most votes goes to Lotta's project.
Niamh's favorite is Collette's project.
My favorite is Zara's project.
I am also going to give an extra winning spot to share to the two sister projects here and here... If you girls can come up with a character together, I'll draw that extra one for you both:).
Thanks to everyone who played along~ as always, it was a difficult decision to narrow down to only five winners. I'll plan on another contest soon:)!
Happy Thursday!

Originally written on Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog. | Last updated 3/18/13
Tonight, the Celtics will the play the final game of their three game home stand when they host the red hot Miami Heat. As you probably know, the Heat are currently riding a 22 game win streak with the media at their backs. On the other hand, the Celtics have won their last two games over the Raptors and Bobcats, with the win over Charlotte coming without KG. According to 10,000 computer simulations, the Heat have just a 34% of continuing their streak tonight. Let's hope the computers are right. Here are the five things: 5. HAVE WILCOX STEP UP: As horrifying as it sounds, there is a chance that Kevin Garnett won't play tonight. If this happens, the C's will really need Chris Wilcox to step up and fill the void. 4. GET GREEN SOME MORE SHOTS: Against Charlotte, Jeff Green scored just 10 points on 5/9 shooting. If they're going to win this one, they will need around 15-20 points out of this guy. They need him at his very best. 3. DRAW FOULS: The Celtics haven't really had a free throw problem at all recently, but getting a few more foul shots wouldn't hurt anything. Try to avoid taking fade-aways and lean in when you're in the paint. 2. GIVE TERRY PLENTY OF OPEN SHOTS: When Jason Terry is open, he rarely misses. Against the Bobcats, Terry shot a perfect, 3/3 from behind the arch. If he has a good shot in shootaround, make him one of your top scorers. 1. REBOUND: All season, the Celtics have been a pretty solid rebounding team. But tonight, they'll have to dominate. No second chance points for Miami. If they allow 3 shots on every defensive possession, they will lose by 40. Tip-off for tonight's game will be at 8:00 pm ET. You can see it on ESPN.

From the article: Cosmetologists, Hairdressers and Related Jobs: Career Information
When choosing a career, it is helpful to get information about it from those who actually work in the occupation one is considering. Please share information about your career as a cosmetologist so that those thinking of entering this field can make an informed decision.
- Describe what you do as a cosmetologist?
- What do you like about being a cosmetologist? What don't you like about it?
- With the proper training, how easy or difficult is it for someone to get an entry level job as a cosmetologist?
- Overall, are you happy you became a cosmetologist? Why or why not?
- I believe being a stylist is more than just being a "stylist." I enjoy being a student but it does take a lot of work. You cant expect to have everything handed to you but I am very amazed what you learn on nails, skin, and hair. So much!
- —Guest Linda
- OMG I love doing nails. It is so fun and just doing what I love makes it even better.
- —Guest leslie hercules
- Being a stylist is a hard job! It is both physically and emotionally exhausting. It is never a thankless job though. You are one of the most trusted people in your client's life. Many people are more afraid to lose their stylist than their physician. I love this job and I greatly exceed the salary amounts on this page.
- —Guest toni
Agree.!! x's 2
- I started out in my home doing hair at the age of 12. I'm 18 now and I'm still in high school. I work in my cousin's shop and I love my job. Cosmetology is something that I would recommend to anyone who loves to work with their hands and with people.
- —Guest bree
- i love my job. i love cutting hair and doing people's hair for special occasions.
- —Guest lindy
- i have been doing this for about 10 years. i have never regretted my career choice. how much i make is based on me and my level of skill and my motivation. nothing in this job is handed to you. it is work. however, it requires creativity and gentleness when dealing with the public. NEVER A DULL MOMENT.
- —Guest paige
- It is a job that is both wonderful and hard. There is much opportunity to make money as you build clients. I make on average $90 a day in tips alone. Add salary and commission and it is not too bad. The downside is the strain on your body. Carpal tunnel, wrist strain, back problems are all real possibilities. To me not a long time career choice, but if you love people it is a fun and rewarding job.
- —Guest Chris
why i love being a cosmetologist?
- the reason why i love being a cosmetologist because i help people out with their hair problems and i love the company i get and i get payed good money.
- —Guest twanisha
- I agree with jacqui, it's very hard at start, but when you have built a clientele ...wow!! You have a wonderful, creative way to spend your day, and I agree, I make a lot more than quoted... However ... Make saving for retirement a priority early on....ESP if you plan to work for yourself!!
- —Guest Grace
Fresh out of school
- I just recently got out of school and got licensed and I am making almost double what the average cosmetologist makes by just doing acrylic nails and nail art. I work at a very busy nail salon and I make almost $30 an hour on a good day. On bad days it's normally about $15. This is an exciting, always changing career.
- —Guest Alie
- I'm thinking about going to school to be a hair stylist but after reading this and it only being about twelve dollars an hour... makes me re-think. It is something I'd love to do but I'm also going to have to make a living...
- —Guest Josie
nail designer
- i love doing nails and my clients love the way i do them .. they trust me enough to tell me "do you have any new designs" and as soon as i say yes they tell me okay lets see it !!:) they're always excited to see and they know it's gonna come out pretty! i love that feeling when they tell me all my co-worker loved my nails so i recommended them to you.
- —Guest destiny
- Being a stylist is a hard job! It is both physically and emotionally exhausting. It is never a thankless job though. You are one of the most trusted people in your client's life.

Marathwada 'freedom day' celebrated in city
People from Marathwada came together to celebrate the Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din (liberation day) in the city on Thursday. The Marathwada region was formed on September 17, 1948 from the state of Hyderabad ruled by the Nizam .
Secretary of the Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din Mahotsav Samiti Rajkumar Dhurgude Patil said more than six lakh people from the Marathwada region reside in Pune. "This is an opportunity for us to make Puneites aware of the history of Marathwada's struggle," he said.
Though India got independence on August 15, 1947, Marathwada, Telangana and some parts of Karnataka were in the state of Hyderabad.
The region joined Maharashtra after the Nizam surrendered to the Indian Army in 1948.
Since then, September 17 is celebrated as the Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din to remember the martyrs who laid down their lives for the region.
The samiti had organised a programme at Balgandharva Rangmandir on Thursday where prominent people from Marathwada were felicitated.
Additional municipal commissioner MS Devnikar was presented with an award for excellence in civic administration.
Chaitanya Maharaj Deglurkar was felicitated for his work in the spiritual field while treasurer of the Marathwada Mitramandal College Bhausaheb Jadhav was honoured for his contribution to education.
Chairman of Sai Constructions Subhash Nelge and cartoonist Murli Lahoti were other recipients of the awards.
Patil said that majority of people who have migrated to Pune are from Osmanabad, Beed, Latur, Aurangabad, Jalna, Hingoli, Parbhani and Nanded districts of Marathwada.
The samiti, comprising 20 small organisations, was formed a month ago in the city.Pune police commissioner Satyapal Singh (second from right) inaugurated the Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din (liberation day) in the city on Thursday.

DIY Network Adds 'Bath Crashers' To Their Crashers Franchise
DIY Network adds "Bath Crashers" to their Crashers franchise, where homeowners are ambushed at a home improvement store and given a renovation they NEVER saw coming. The newest installment joins Yard Crashers, hosted by licensed landscape contractor Ahmed Hassan (Turf War), and House Crashers, hosted by licensed contractor Josh Temple. Bath Crashers, where Munster hooks up with homeowners and then alters their dated, grimy bathrooms into throne rooms good enough for kings, will make its debut during DIY Network's first-ever Crash Week, July 5-July 8 in primetime.
DIY Network is on a mission to crash and trash homes, transforming them into stunning, functional and modern living spaces. No one is safe on the new Crashers series as Muenster, Temple and Hassan travel across the country visiting markets including Chicago, Boston, Tampa, Atlanta and Houston. Crash Week, July 5-July 8, spotlights all three series with two original episodes premiering back-to-back each night from 9 p.m.-11 p.m. ET.
Kicking off the programming block is season two of House Crashers at 9 p.m. ET. Host and licensed contractor Josh Temple (Disaster House) stalks a big-box home improvement store looking for unsuspecting weekend warriors and then follows them home with a large crew of experts in tow. Stunned homeowners who journeyed into the store to fix a simple leaky faucet, end up winning the remodeling lottery with dramatic, eye-popping room transformations.
Next up is the series premiere of Bath Crashers at 10 p.m. ET. Licensed contractor Matt Muenster ambushes homeowners at a local store and totally overhauls their bathroom in need of repair. At 11 p.m. ET, completing the trifecta, is season four of Yard Crashers. Expert Ahmed Hassan waits at stores looking for the perfect weekend warriors who could definitely use his help. Once he finds his target, Ahmed and his team follow the surprised shoppers to their homes and completely transform their yards.
From the makers of HGTV and Food Network, DIY Network is the go-to destination for rip-up, knock-out home improvement television. DIY Network's programs and experts answer the most sought-after questions and offer creative projects for do-it-yourself enthusiasts.

I'm glad you have found my blog! The restaurant scene in New York City is always changing and I'll be using this as a way to keep you up to date on the changes and share my new finds. I hope you'll check back often or subscribe for updates through RSS feed or email so you can be kept up to date. After all, I don't want you to have to wait until the next edition of Pines Picks to know about my discoveries!
The Latest Pines Picks — Updates and New Picks
Pommes Frites: Victim of East Village Fire
A few days ago, there was a tragic 7-alarm fire in NYC's East Village. I learned last night that one of the four buildings that burned to the ground was the home of Pommes Frites! The Pommes Frites web site said none of its workers or patrons were injured. That is certainly good news. But, very sadly, at least for now, Pommes Frites – the New York City french fry institution – is closed. It will be sorely missed; we hope for its return someday soon.
Burger and Beer Joint
After hearing a lot about the Burger and Beer Joint in Miami, I went to try it out. The restaurant is not a beer place and kids are very welcome. I had a ridiculously good meal there – every course was better than the previous one. To drink, I got a root beer which came is a frosty glass. I ordered the hot "Octane Wings," the onion rings and a custom burger. The hot wings are crispy, have a light coating, and a pleasingly hot thick buffalo-style sauce. Next, I had the onion rings which are the biggest onion rings I have ever seen in my life. They are "colossal Vidalia Onions" which have a whitish yellow batter, and after dipped in a little ketchup or the jalapeno-cheddar sauce served with them, are truly incredible. After the onion rings, I had a burger on a brioche bun with bleu cheese, red onion marmalade, guacamole, lettuce, onion, and tomato. The brioche bun was soft and buttery, and with the bleu cheese and sweet red onion marmalade, it was a great burger. Also, I got my burger cooked medium which was very juicy and tender and was cooked to perfection.
Although the meal was overall one of the best I have had, it wasn't fulfilled without the outrageous dessert that I had called the "sweet emotion" with Oreos, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and best-of-all fresh, warm house-made brownies. It came in a goblet-type glass and was a memorable ending to a meal I will never forget.
The Bao
I went to try the soup dumpling at the Bao and was pleasantly surprised. They have a large variety of soup dumplings including wasabi, chocolate, super spicy, crab and regular pork. The soup dumplings all had a very thin wrapper except for the chocolate which had a more gooey crepe-like wrapper. Also, something I really enjoyed was the large amount of soup in the dumplings and the soft delicate meat in the middle of all of the dumplings (except for the chocolate which had a thin cut of mushy banana in the center). My favorite were the wasabi dumplings which had a kick of spice in them, which went really well with the saltiness of the soup and the chewiness of the pork. Overall, the Bao was a good find and I highly recommend the soup dumplings there.
Note: also, I recommend trying the "ice tomato" which is a bunch of eighths of tomatoes cut up and doused in a bowl of sweet-sugary liquid. It was truly refreshing and is a great start to the meal. The tomatoes are transformed from the normal almost savory flavor to a candy-like treat.
Joe's Stone Crab
I tried a lot of key lime pie in South Florida. From slices dipped in chocolate and placed on sticks to small key lime tarts, but nothing compares to Joe's. The famous Joe's Stone Crab in Miami is mainly known for its stone crabs. But, their key lime pie is truly mouth-watering amazing. Unlike any other of the key lime pies I tasted, the key lime at Joe's is not too sour. It has a delicious tang and a really great, crumbly graham cracker crust. The pie comes refreshingly cold and is served with whipped cream on top. To me, the perfect key lime pie has a pudding-like consistency. Joe's key lime pie has exactly the right consistency, not too thin and jelly-like and not too thick and lumpy. If the weather alone isn't reason enough to head South to Miami, Joe's key lime pie is well worth the trip.
The Petite Shell
I checked out the new Upper East side bakery called Petite Shell, where I ordered the chocolate croissant. They take a regular croissant and cut it in half. Then, they add a warm, smooth chocolate spread, creating a croissant chocolate sandwich. They bring the chocolate croissant out in a cone, which is very hot. The croissant is very soft, flaky and has a buttery flavor. With the sweet, rich chocolatey spread, the snack is delectable. I also tried the mini blue cheese and pear croissant which was also very tasty, warm and soft.
Overall, Petite Shell is a great find.

Cuban Sandwich — A.G. Kitchen
The other day I stopped at A.G. Kitchen to try their claimed "NYC's Best Cubano." The sandwich came out in slices, and contained the normal, delicious ingredients of a Cuban sandwich: Pork, Ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and, mustard. The Cuban comes between two slices of perfectly golden brown, panini-like slices of bread. After I took my first bite, I too understood the greatness of this slightly buttered sandwich. The mix of the warm, melted swiss cheese, the delicious slices of roast pork, the sweetness from the pickles and the mustard created one of the most incredible Cuban sandwiches I have consumed. Although the sandwich, in total, is pretty big, I inhaled it. I am already looking forward to picking up another Cuban from A.G. Kitchen.

Biggest Portions Ever!
For a one-of-a-kind dining experience, you have to go to Harold's Deli in Edison, New Jersey. Even half of one of their triple decker sandwiches (I had pastrami, corned beef and turkey) requires its own platter! The deli meat was excellent, very lean and tasty. I also really liked the matzo ball soup, especially the football-sized matzo ball. Harold's has a fun "pickle bar" with all kinds of pickles to choose from on it as well other items like rye bread and sauerkraut. Even the desserts are ginormous and fun – massive, tasty slices of fudge cake, and giant sundaes for the whole family to share. You have to check this place out!! It is not to be believed.

Hard to believe it – but Crumbs is gone! They apparently went out of business due to owing large debts and have had to close all of their cupcake shops. This is definitely a bad day for cupcake-lovers. I will particularly miss their giant cupcake, which was great for birthday celebrations.
Crispy Beef Surprise
For the first time, I got to try the crispy beef at Shun Lee Palace and was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the sweet and sour dish. It stood out to me because opposed to the crispy beef dishes at other comparable restaurants, the beef dish at Shun Lee was less fried and less crispy – which made the beef much more tender overall. I loved the sauce on the beef, which contained a little spice. Overall a great crispy beef. Shun Lee is a fancy restaurant and the portions on many of the dishes (like the excellent dumplings) are small, but the crispy beef is a winner.
