FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Albert Belle won't be in Baltimore's lineup for its spring opener against St. Louis on Friday because of a sore hip that has put his future with the team in doubt.
While Belle will miss the road trip to Jupiter, he is scheduled to start in right field the next day against the Minnesota Twins at Fort Lauderdale.
Bell has been used in right field for all three intrasquad games, with mixed results. He has hit the ball with authority but continues to move poorly in the outfield and on the basepaths and hasn't attempted to slide, even in drills.
"If there's a close play, he's supposed to slide. He'll play hard," manager Mike Hargrove said Tuesday. "Albert has not backed off or asked out of anything here. There have been times we've gone up to him and asked him how he feels and if he wants to sit out a drill. He's not taken us up on the offer, which is good to see."
When informed that Belle has not slid, Hargrove responded: "Eventually he has to."
Baltimore resists making projections on Belle based on his physical condition. He most likely will be restricted to use as the designated hitter.
"I didn't come here with any preconceived notions about where Albert should be with his hip. I think that's fairly untested waters for all of us," Hargrove said. "You have an idea of at what point a player needs to be in order to be a productive player. I've got that idea. Where is he to that? I don't care to answer that right now. I think that's a question that's better answered later."

Charleston wants to make a deadly intersection safer for pedestrians.
After two pedestrians died of injuries from traffic accidents 14 months apart, the city sent a letter asking the state to significantly bolster safety warnings at the busy intersection for both pedestrians and motorists.
In the letter, the city pointed out that its study of the intersection of Coming Street and the Crosstown, officially named the Septima P. Clark Parkway, shows it is properly marked. Nevertheless, the city said it wants additional safety features "in an attempt to encourage pedestrians to obey the traffic control devices at the intersection, to use the crosswalks that are provided, and to emphasize the importance of obeying the traffic control devices at the intersection."
The city recommended that the state Department of Transportation, which has control over the Crosstown, consider installing several specific safety additions to the intersection including:
A sign cautioning pedestrians to cross the Crosstown only with the green walk signal.
A sign instructing pedestrians to cross the eight lanes of highway in two stages, first to the 70-foot-wide median, then wait there for the next green walk signal.
The city's request comes after The Post and Courier called attention to the intersection in a front-page story Feb. 9. Most pedestrians interviewed by the newspaper thought the walk light was too short for people to safely cross. Many said they ran in order to get across in the five seconds of green walk time and 15 seconds of flashing caution time. None had any idea they were supposed to cross in two stages because no signs in the intersection indicate that.
The city said it began to review the intersection's safety after the second of the two fatal accidents occurred on Jan. 13.
In the letter, Hernan Pena, director of the city's Department of Traffic and Transportation, pointed out that the pedestrians, both College of Charleston students, were killed after attempting to cross the highway when motorists had the right of way.
Lindsey Ranz, 21, the most recent victim, had been out running and darted into the highway in front of a motorist who was entering the intersection on a yellow light.
The other victim, Hannah-Rose Elledge, 21, ran across the highway on a red light with a friend. They were struck about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 17, 2012. Elledge died, and her friend was injured. Both had been at a party drinking.
In addition to the requested pedestrian caution signs, the city asked the state to install equipment to encourage pedestrians to watch only the pedestrian crossing signals and to place signs ahead of the intersection cautioning motorists that they are approaching a pedestrian crossing.
Lynnette Ranz, mother of Lindsey Ranz, has been waging an online petition campaign calling for safety improvements at the intersection.
"It's a start, and I'm appreciative of that. It's a good start," Ranz said Wednesday. Still, she said, she thinks traffic speeds by too fast and many motorists run the red light.
The city's study found that during one, 30-minute test period, traffic averaged 35.52 mph on the 35 mph highway section.
Robert Clark, district engineering director for the Transportation Department, said his office is talking a look at the request and the intersection and should complete that review in about two weeks.

Armor Shingle Roof Coating
The Best Roof Coating for Shingles on the Market
Wind will sometimes blow rain underneath the tiles, will this stop that from happening? No that is a shingle and installation issue that cannot be corrected via a coating.
Our roof was not pitched properly will the coating prevent leaks from happening? No. Armor Shingle Roof Coating cannot correct structural, installation or faulty tile issues.How long will your shingle roof coating last? It is designed to last 7-10 years. At which time we recommend application of another coat.
How long will this extend the life of my shingles? Depending on the quality, age and condition of the tiles when you apply the coating it can extend the life cycle of up to 10 years.
What is the main purpose of this coating? The coating is designed to seal leaks in shingles due to old age, to prevent further loss of the granules, to restore some of the faded color back to your shingles and to preserve the shingles from further deterioration.

Ryan Ladell and Billy Mandl may know that their Livingston team has played better than its record has indicated, but even that knowledge makes it hard to keep their confidence up through a rough start to the season.
Yesterday finally provided the reward on the scoreboard they were desperately seeking.
Ladell and Mandl each scored in the game's final 10 minutes as Livingston rallied to defeat Glen Ridge, 2-1, at Watsessing Park in Bloomfield. The victory marked Livingston's first of the season.
"One-four-and-one sounds a whole lot better than 0-5-1," said Mandl. "It's a big weight off of our shoulders."
"We've all been working hard for everything all season. The score may not show how hard we're all working, but we're doing everything we can," said Ladell. "Sometimes we can't put the ball in the net, but today we showed that we could, and we're very happy to get our first win of the season."
Trailing, 1-0, late in the second half, the Livingston (1-4-1) offense finally broke through after missing out on a golden scoring chance earlier when Mandl flicked a Jesse Levitt throw-in to Ladell to tie the game at 1-1 in the 71st minute.
"It's like getting an elephant off our backs, never mind getting a monkey off our backs," said coach Roger Rubinetti of his team, which had scored one goal prior to yesterday. "We haven't really put the ball in the net this year; we've had our struggles. We've been in a lot of games, we just don't have the offense right now."
"The first one definitely instilled a little confidence in us," said Ladell. "It started the rally."
Seven minutes later, Tomer Niv ripped a big shot from outside of the 18. Glen Ridge (2-5) keeper Mike Tringali lunged to his right to make the save, but Mandl was there to bury the rebound for the winning goal.
"Before the game, our center midfielder Zach Beckerman said I wouldn't score today, so I had to prove him wrong," Mandl said. "When I saw the chance, I knew I had to put it in."
Tringali made nine saves for Glen Ridge, which took the lead in the 45th minute when Colin Goldstein flicked a Brenner Bodell corner to Clark Baratta for a goal. Hunter made seven saves for Livingston.
"It all starts with the first win and, at this point, coming into the second third of the season, we really think we can turn it around," Ladell said. "We just needed that little bit of momentum."

ABSTRACT: Diffuse esophageal spasm (DES) causes chest pain and/or dysphagia in adults. We reviewed charts of 278 subjects 0 to 18 years of age after esophageal manometry to describe the frequency and characteristics of DES in children. Patient diagnoses included normal motility (61%), nonspecific esophageal motility disorder (20%), DES (13%, n = 36), and achalasia (4%). Of patients with DES, the most common chief complaint was food refusal in subjects younger than 5 years (14/24, 58%) and chest pain in subjects older than 5 years (4/12, 33%). Comorbid medical conditions, often multiple, existed in 33 subjects. DES should be considered when young children present with food refusal.
Diffuse esophageal spasm (DES) is an esophageal motility disorder characterized by simultaneous contractions in the esophageal body. Adult patients with DES often present with chest pain and/or dysphagia (1). DES incidence is estimated to be 1 in 500,000 adults per year (2) and is found in 3% to 5% of adults assessed for esophageal motility disorders (3). The precise diagnostic criteria of DES are a subject of debate with recent studies revealing that spasms are much more frequent in the distal compared with proximal esophagus (4). Use of high-resolution manometry provides further data delineating features of esophageal spastic disorders including DES in adults (5) and children (6).
There are few prior descriptions of children with DES. A chart review of 83 children presenting with chest pain found 7 with DES (7). DES was also diagnosed in 5 adolescents ages 13 to 18 years presenting with chest pain and/or dysphagia (8). Two children with cerebral palsy, 20 and 30 months old, had a lifelong history of food aversion and retching or vomiting associated with DES (9). A 22-month old mentally retarded girl with DES had symptoms of paroxysmal posturing, irritability, and inadequate oral intake (10), and 1 newborn experienced DES-associated apnea and bradycardia (11). Our aims were to describe the frequency of DES in children undergoing esophageal manometry and to assess patterns of illness in 36 children with DES.
The present study was completed while all authors were affiliated with the University of Kansas Medical Center and was approved by the University of Kansas Human Subjects Committee. Data collection was completed according to the standards of institutional Human Subjects Committee and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations. In this retrospective chart review, we assessed 278 subjects 0 to 18 years of age who had esophageal manometry for 10 years before (1994–2004) as part of their diagnostic evaluation. We determined the characteristics and clinical presentations of the 36 subjects meeting manometric criteria for DES. We defined DES as simultaneous esophageal body contractions associated with >10% of swallows and mean simultaneous contraction amplitude >30 mmHg (12).
Subjects with contractions >100 mmHg or prolonged duration contractions all had abnormal peristalsis with simultaneous contractions and were included in the DES group. Esophageal manometry was performed according to the standards for children (13).
We used a 4- to 8-lumen water-perfused manometry catheter with recording sites 3 or 4 cm apart, placed such that at least 2 sites recorded from the esophageal body, 1 from the lower esophageal sphincter, and 1 from the stomach. We evaluated >10 swallows (range 11–44). GraphPad Prism (GraphPad, La Jolla, CA) was used for statistical analyses. All P values were calculated by Fisher exact test. P values <0.05 were considered significant.
Of 278 subjects undergoing esophageal manometry, 61% had normal motility (n = 169). Abnormal results included nonspecific esophageal motility disorder in 20% (n = 55), DES in 13% (n = 36), and achalasia in 4% (n = 11). Two percent of subjects (n = 6) had uninterpretable studies because of lack of patient cooperation.
DES subject's age ranged from 2 months to 18 years at diagnosis (mean 5.4 years) and 67% were girls. Manometry results associated with DES included simultaneous contractions in all (represented in Fig. 1), contractions >100 mmHg in 10 of 36, and multipeaked contractions in 7 of 36. There were 6 subjects with DES with incomplete lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Three of those subjects had a history of fundoplication. Five subjects, ranging from 2 to 8 years, had simultaneous contractions while upset, but not after calming.
The chief complaints of subjects with DES are summarized in Table 1 and stratified by age. Food refusal was more common in infants and toddlers than in children and teens (P < 0.05). There were no complaints of chest pain in subjects younger than 9 years.
Coexistent symptoms included chronic constipation (9/36), malnutrition (9/36), and irritability (5/36). Chronic vomiting occurred in 16 subjects (73%) younger than 4 years and only 4 subjects (29%) older than 4 years (P < 0.05). Chronic retching presented in 10 subjects (45%) younger than 4 years and 3 subjects (21%) older than 4 years. Chronic constipation occurred 4 times (17%) in those younger than 5 years and 5 times (42%) in those older than 5 years. Malnutrition in 9 subjects was distributed through all ages.
Of 22 subjects with antroduodenal (n = 15) or colonic manometry (n = 3) or both (n = 4), 13 were diagnosed as having more generalized motility disorders. Before manometry, 25 subjects (69%) had surgery for symptoms: 20 gastrostomies, 13 fundoplications, 3 pyloroplasties, 1 Collis gastroplasty, and 1 gastrojejunostomy. Seven subjects had no symptomatic improvement with intensive behavioral treatment by a multidisciplinary feeding team before diagnostic manometry.
Comorbid disorders complicated all but 3 subjects with DES. Comorbid conditions included developmental delay (n = 7), Down syndrome (n = 6), and cerebral palsy (n = 4). Seven subjects had structural heart abnormalities, 4 were premature, and 2 had a history of seizures. There were 3 subjects with previously diagnosed gastrointestinal neuropathies including 2 with neuropathic pseudo-obstruction and 1 with Hirschsprung disease.
In 2 subjects undergoing 24-hour esophageal manometry, oral nifedipine (0.2 mg/kg nifedipine liquid aspirated from gelcaps every 6 hours) reduced the amplitude of contractions and the number of simultaneous contractions for about 90 minutes, beginning 10 to 15 minutes after drug administration. Treatment of these 2 toddlers with nifedipine resulted in advancing nutrition support and reducing choking and food refusal. Withdrawal of nifedipine after 1 year resulted in prompt return of symptoms.
This retrospective analysis of esophageal manometry demonstrated that DES occurred in chronically ill infants and toddlers presenting with food refusal. Infants and toddlers experiencing pain or discomfort avoid repeating activities they associate with these symptoms. Food aversion has been correlated to dysphoric eating experiences in gastroesophageal reflux (14) and other upper gastrointestinal motor and sensory disorders (9). DES was not recognized in the studied infants and toddlers as they underwent unsuccessful surgical and psychological treatments for food refusal, choking, and gagging. Diagnosis of DES ended inappropriate testing and ineffective treatment trials. Appropriate evaluation of DES may reduce anxiety in patients and their parents by providing an explanation for previously unexplained symptoms.
The present study reviewed 36 examples of DES in children. We found DES in 24 infants, toddlers, and preschool children, a population rarely described with this condition. In a cohort of 278 patients ages 0 to 18 years undergoing esophageal manometry, DES was present in 13%, a rate higher than that of adults undergoing esophageal manometry. We considered whether to eliminate or include 5 subjects who had simultaneous contractions only when agitated, and only normally propagating swallows when calm. Only when these children were offered food would they become agitated and develop symptoms of gagging and choking. We speculated that the emotional distress associated with eating was associated with DES, and so the children learned to avoid eating. Therefore, treatment may be directed at treating esophageal spasm, or treating anxiety and arousal to prevent DES.
Unlike adults with DES, a majority of children with DES experienced coexisting disease. In most cases, the comorbid conditions affected the central and/or enteric nervous system. Although the children appeared to have a separate condition affecting eating and swallowing, it was likely that DES was part of a systemic neuropathy.
Abnormalities on manometry have been reported in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) (15–17). Esophageal biopsies were not available for review in our patient cohort; however, despite reports in a small number of adults, DES has not been reported concurrently in children with EoE.
In 2 cases of DES, oral nifedipine improved manometric abnormalities and clinical symptoms without altering blood pressure. Oral nifedipine may be a useful drug to treat symptoms of DES in children despite unclear efficacy data in adult trials (18,19).
In summary, DES should be considered in children with food refusal, dysphagia, chest pain, or unexplained vomiting and may be more prevalent in the pediatric population than previously thought. Diagnosis by esophageal manometry can alleviate patient concern, direct pharmacotherapy, and may prevent unnecessary tests or surgery.

Erie diocese contraception dispute advances
The Catholic Diocese of Erie's legal battle against the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate is moving to the next stage.
Lawyers for the administration of President Barack Obama filed notice Tuesday in U.S. District Court that they intend to appeal the entry of a permanent injunction in December that blocked the imposition of the mandate for both the Catholic Diocese of Erie and the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.
U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab, in entering the injunction, said the Erie diocese could continue to sponsor its health plans without having to comply with the requirement to provide contraceptive services to certain employees. He also said the St. Martin Center and Cathedral Preparatory School will not have to comply with the mandate.
The government said it chose not to fight at that stage because it appeared, based on Schwab's entry of a preliminary injunction, that its efforts would fail.
The government in court records said it planned, instead, to renew its opposition to the dioceses' claims in the appellate courts.
The notice filed Tuesday starts that appeal process in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It does not outline the legal grounds of the appeal.
Bradley P. Humphreys, of the U.S. Department of Justice, wrote in December that the government continues to disagree with the dioceses' claims -- that the mandate violates their First Amendment right to freedom of religion.
The dispute began when the two dioceses, citing their opposition to artificial birth control, filed nearly identical petitions seeking exemption from the requirement to provide contraceptive services to some of its employees through a third party.
The Obama administration maintains that the government's accommodations preserved the dioceses' constitutional rights while creating a mechanism for some religious employees to receive contraceptive services at no cost to the dioceses.
Erie Catholic Bishop Lawrence T. Persico, the lead plaintiff in the Diocese of Erie's case, has said that adhering to the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act "would have forced the diocese to act contrary to its sincerely held religious beliefs, providing its employees with services it finds objectionable through their insurance policies."

Gaming Laptops: What's New and How they Differ
If we are going to look five years back, we would probably notice very little changes among gaming laptops then and now—but they seem to greatly differ in terms of price. Why? I mean why bother spend a significant amount of money for the more expensive gaming laptops when they are just about the same as the cheaper ones? What do they got new and how do they differ?
Although the existence of tablet PCs seems to be very tempting especially when we greatly consider mobility, they are still not able to match the performance of gaming laptops however we look at them. Sadly, gaming laptop manufacturers have not found a better gaming form to recreate a gaming laptop into. But let's see why they have significant changes in terms of price.
The Display
Let's start from the very obvious—the display. By simply staring at the display, we really are unable to see the difference. But gaming laptop manufacturers justify their significant price increase in terms of display with the fact that they are now using an LED screen display instead of LCD.
An LCD or Liquid Crystal Display is a display technology that uses light modulating liquid crystals in order to project images through our computer screens. It does not directly emit light which is the reason it is unable to project very clear and vivid images on its own.
LED screen display does not actually mean that gaming laptop manufacturers make use of a different material for their products—instead, they make use of additional materials to make their LCD displays project better, clearer and more vivid images. They make use of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which are semiconductors of light in addition to their flattened LCDs. So yes, it is probably not right that they call it LED displays—instead, they should call it LED backlit display. They make use of the same material after all. The fact that they are using additional technology for better viewing experience justifies their price increase. Then of course we should not overlook the fact that there are also other gaming laptops that have touch sensitive screens or display.
The GPU
The GPU or the Graphics Processing Unit is probably the most important buying decision factor for gamers. It tells them what games they can and cannot play on a gaming laptop. It tells them how well they could experience gaming.
Five years back, for about the same price of a newly released high-performance gaming laptop, you would probably be able to get one that has an NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. It has 64 CUDA Cores and 240 Gigaflops and manufacturers claim it to be very efficient in balancing battery life and performance. At that—at least five years back, it could already be a very good GPU that could play Call of Duty with quick gaming responses.
Today, what we could get at reasonable prices would at least be an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M that has 1344 CUDA Cores and process at around 720MHz. Newer GPUs like the GTX 680M supports a lot of new technologies including 3D Vision for a realistic viewing experience, DirectX11 for more detailed graphics and they also give not just quick gaming responses but real time gaming responses. These types of GPUs would not just let us play Call of Duty or other classic and unmatched first-person shooting games that let us play against the computer—they let us play the most recent and advanced games online and offline. They let us play games like Battlefield, Tomb Raider and World of War Craft. GPUs these days are also greatly responsible for balancing battery life and performance. Unlike gaming laptops from five years back that could let us stay on a game for around four hours on a single charge, newer gaming laptops doubles or even triples that battery life.
The CPU
The CPU or the Central Processing Unit is most popularly defined as the brain of the computer or the gaming laptop. It is primarily responsible for carrying out instructions to all other parts or software within the gaming laptop in order for them to perform their specific functions. Older gaming laptops (which are probably from five years back) make use of CPUs like the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8400. This CPU is able to process data at 2.26GHz and had 3M Cache.
Newer gaming laptops now make use of Intel Haswell processors like the Intel Core i7-4770 Processor that has 8M Cache and is able to process data at 3.90GHz which is of course a lot faster compared to older CPUs.
The Storage
Gaming laptops from five years back ideally hold around 250GB of HDD storage. Besides the fact that it has a very small storage capacity compared to the 1TB storage capacity of newer gaming laptops, they also generate more heat and make more noise. Newer gaming laptops now make use of Solid State Drives or SSDs which make use of very compact chips to store data. They do not generate heat and they do not make noises.
The Random Access Memory or RAM
The Random Access Memory or RAM is the gaming laptop's data storage that can be accessed randomly. Gaming laptop users do not just look into the amount of data it can hold but also the amount of time it needs to access data. Gaming laptops from five years back are already considered tough performing when they have about 4GB DDR3 RAM that operates at around 1066MHz. But newer gaming laptops now have as much as 32GB data storage capacity and operate at an average 1600MHz.
If you like playing classic laptop games like the Mario Brothers or Counter Strike, your old laptop may still be good to use. But if you would like to explore new games like Battlefield or Tomb Raider, you would definitely need a new gaming laptop that has adequate RAM.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - Look who's unbeaten in the Big East.
It's only two games, but Temple has a Big East winning streak for the first time ever after Saturday's 17-14 overtime victory at Connecticut.
That's ever, as in including the 14 seasons before they were kicked out eight years ago. So it's safe to call the Owls' Big East reboot an early success.

Ba Ren
Ba Ren
4957 Diane Ave
San Diego, CA 92117
(858) 279-2520
I've been wanting to review Ba Ren for a long time, but have not gotten around to it until now. While I often complain about the lack of good chinese food in San Diego, Ba Ren is an exception. Ba Ren is one of the few chinese restaurants in San Diego where I think the dishes taste really good, and not just "good for San Diego" standards.
Ba Ren has a somewhat hidden location and I never would have found it if my friend didn't take me there a couple of years back. They specialize in Sichuan cuisine. The restaurant can accommodate quite a bit of seating, including several large tables for big parties. Ba Ren tends to always be a bit on the empty side, so seating should not be a problem.
The menu is pretty extensive. Pages and pages worth of different dishes. Most of which I have not tried. In addition to the dishes on the menu, they also offer a bar display of cold appetizers. A small plate of three appetizers is about $5 something.
The only thing that keeps me from visiting all the time is the service. The service is pretty poor here. Hard to flag down a waiter, hard to get your water and tea refilled, etc. In my experience, when you come with a big party, the service tends to be a bit better. Not great. But okay. However, every time it has just been Boyfriend and me, the service has been almost non-existent. On one occasion, the service was bad enough that Boyfriend declared we wouldn't be coming back. This caused me a lot of distress, as I really do love the food at Ba Ren. I convinced Boyfriend that we could still go when we have a large group since we get decent service then. So, now we only visit when we have a large party.
My aunt and uncle were visiting San Diego and wanted to meet for dinner. I took them to Ba Ren. Because my cousins don't like spicy food, we ordered almost all non-spicy dishes. I'm used to eating all really spicy dishes at Ba Ren, so this was a big change, but I was curious how their non-spicy dishes would taste.
First, we had sizzling beef.
Though there were peppers in this dish, the peppers added only a very mild spice. The beef was tender and flavorful.
Sitr fried green onion and lamb.
I wish they had used leaner pieces of lamb. The lamb pieces had a lot of tendon and fat.
Three seafood item with sizzling crispy rice
I really enjoy this dish. A delicious broth along with vegetables and seafood is poured onto fried rice cakes, creating a sizzling sound and making a tasty dish. I enjoy the rice even after it is no longer crispy as it is very well flavored with the broth.
Fish with picked vegetables
This was a large dish. I loved the flavor of the fish with the pickled vegetables.
Sitr fried on-choy
The on-choy could have been chopped into smaller pieces. The taste was alright, but nothing special.
Tea smoked duck
Probably the most disappointing dish of the night. The duck didn't have much meat and it was a bit salty and dry. I usually love tea duck, but this was not a good version.
Tofu with salted fish.
The tofu was rich and flavorful.
The food was good, even though we didn't have anything spicy. At the end of the meal, we were informed that if we paid cash, we would get $8 for use for next time. So I'll be back soon to review some of the spicy dishes.
11 Responses to "Ba Ren"
Hey Kirbie – After going through just about the entire menu at Ba Ren, I pretty much stay away from anything "duck", though there is a Golden Oil Braised Duck that you need to order ahead of time that I might try one day. To me China Chef on Mira Mesa Blvd has pretty good tea smoked duck. We've never had terrible service at Ba Ren, but it might be because we've been going there since they've opened……
Hi Kirk- I figured you probably get good service at Ba Ren since you go so much. Maybe if I go often enough, it will eventually get better.
I've never tried China Chef, I'll have to check out the duck there. I remember Chin's had a pretty good tea smoked duck, but I only tried it once and it was a while ago.
Now that I think of it, I think I did try another duck dish before at Ba Ren's and didn't enjoy it. I'll have to stay away from the duck.
You really had a challenge on your hands getting stuff that isn't spicy from Ba Ren. There is one Fish Hot Pot that is not spicy, and the Sichuan Pot Roast, or something liek that, which is really a stewed pork shank in broth with a lionshead meatball, that tastes soooo good, but is sooo bad for you.
The Sichuan Pot Roast sounds so good! I'm definitely going to order it next time. I'll just pretend I didn't see the part about it being bad for you. The fish with pickled vegetables was a hot pot, perhaps the one you are referring to? It wasn't spicy but it was very tasty. Ordering not spicy definitely was a challenge, but it was good to find these dishes because Boyfriend always complains that I order too many spicy dishes.
Hi Kirk,
This is Big Ron. We've e-mailed in the past, but it's been a while. We first learned about Ba Ren through your posts, and my wife and I have been there a number of times. Fantastic food!
Some problems:
We got there one night, and it was packed. At the time, we were greeted and recognized, and we proceeded to wait for the next table. To keep this short, after waiting a while, a party arrived and were seated ahead of us. There seemed to be a language barrier, and no attempt was made to explain giving away our table. We decided to leave, and we were not very happy.
We've since been back a number of times, and enjoyed it as much as before, but the experience of that night left us with a bad feeling.
We're trying not to react to our treatment that night, but we're still having a problem with it.
No regrets, but I thought I'd pass this on.
Many thanks for your many wonderful recommendations!
Big Ron
As I stated in my post, I've had issues with the service as well. Getting completely ignored, not getting the discount unless I ask about it, not getting dessert, etc. The service has been pretty good when I go with a large group, however when it is just me and Boyfriend, we got really sucky service and that is why Boyfriend wouldn't go back for a while. He thought it was a race thing.
Hi Kirbie,
This reply is 5 months late! Please forgive this behavior. I was just searching yesterday on the Chowhound site for this e-mail I submitted, and I came across your site. I was really surprised to discover your reply. My apologies.
I could find no record of any of my correspondence on the Chowhound site. I might be doing something wrong. In any event, I'll check back to your blog for your reply.
It would seem that you and your Boyfriend have received the same type of mistreatment at Ba Ren as my wife and I. Let me just say that we have always been treated in a warm, friendly fashion by Wendy. There's something amiss there, and we would like to go back. We always were greeted warmly in the past by Wendy and the various chefs, who seemed to sense that we were delighted with their various offerings.
To be continued …
Big Ron
Hi Ron! I'm not quite sure which one Wendy is. I don't think I know any of the staff by name. The last few visits, the older woman who I believe is the owner has given us pretty good treatment. As for some of the other staff, I've continued to have some "issues" with
Hi Kirbie,
Thanks for the reply. Wendy is the very friendly, confidant, well English-spoken woman there. There is another woman but, she is younger and, she appears not so much in charge. Wendy appears to be management in demeanor, and, I must say, very helpful in describing the various dishes offered.
We have to go back. There is no other restaurant like it in San Diego or even New York City's Chinatown.
Be well,
Big Ron
This is one of our favorites, especially the Husband & Wife Dish. Since the name of the restaurant sounds phonetically like "Barren", I joke sometimes that they have a sister restaurant called, "No Fu" (no food), LOL …

Hi there,
I am trying to solve a system that has 5 unkown variables. I have 4 equation and a if statment in order to solve the system as it can be seen in the figure.
The problem is that nch4(t) and nar(t) are the input variables. If i put the IF EXPRESSION before the equation i get this error: "Error, cannot determine if this expression is true or false: 2 <= nar(t)/nch4(t)", because those variables are not defined.
Any idea on how can i get this right?

Thanks to you both.
I'm doings loads of such averages, not just one single. That was just an example. Typically I'm processing e.g 128 to 1024 iterations in a for-loop (depending on the effect I implement). That's why performance considerations come into play. Compute shaders are out of scope in my case, I have to do everything in plain old HLSL pixel shaders.
As for what the compiler already optimizes, this is primarily what interests me. My question might have been not clear enough. I'm less interested in what theoretically could improve performance but what command / functions or best practices lead to the best optimized compiled code.
I am well aware that different GPU hardware (or firmware) might JIT compile intermediate code differently, but I'm interesting to know what *most* common GPU / systems will do.
E.g. it wouldn't help to use a mad() in my shaders when most systems would still compile that command into two instructions (mul,add) instead of a single madd. Similar goes for lerp() and the like.The noise() function for example is not supported by most GPUs although present in the HLSL standard.
Of course I can read what Microsoft writes on their HLSL intrinsic functions pages. But since reality differs from standards definitions such as HLSL, I'm interesting to learn how to write my HLSL shaders to benefit from hardware supported features as much as possible.

by the time they fought Naz stopped taking boxing seriously, which was evident in the documentary highlighting the training for the fight , his hands were shot, he cudnt even do his flip over the ropes ring entrance anymore, the guy became a diva, more concerned with his hair and the skin of the boxing gloves, parted ways with his trainer, he lost the plot and i wasnt shocked he lost.
but lets not get it twisted the guy had zero defense and his chin was strong as they come, power was 100% lethal, reflexes from a different planet, amazing athlete, shud have stepped up when he was hungry.
JMM wud have got knocked out or knocked down a number of times, he always tastes the canvas when he gets hit hard. Naz had balance issues, but the kids chin is one of the strongest ive seen

Marquez would have won a clear decision. At that time MArquez wasn't as aggressive and was more of a patient boxer cause he had his legs.

Hamed gets underrated, especially him at under 122. But JMM beats him pretty easily at 126. Hamed avoided him when they were both at 126, I think JMM may have even been his mandatory?
If JMM can pick his ass up off the canvas 3 times in one round against Pac at 130, I dont think he is getting stopped by Hamed at 126 and if he does get dropped I think he would be well ahead in terms of rounds so that it wont matter.

Microsoft, AT&T to Unveil New Smartphones
Microsoft Corp. MSFT -1.09 % will formally unveil a lineup of smartphones using the revamped version of its mobile operating system on Oct. 11, and AT&T Inc. T -0.29 % will begin offering them four weeks later, according to people familiar with the launch plans.
The launch—centered in New York with satellite events elsewhere—is crucial for Microsoft, which has been battered by Apple Inc. AAPL -1.55 % 's iPhone and a wave of flashier consumer friendly devices using Google Inc.'s Android mobile software.
"This is critical to Microsoft's overall business," said Avi Greengart, who follows consumer electronic devices for research firm Current Analysis. "They are being badly outflanked right now by their competitors."
Microsoft will receive the marketing support of AT&T, which will be the initial exclusive U.S. carrier to sell the Windows Phone 7 smartphones. AT&T plans to sell the devices the week of Nov. 8. Initially, the carrier will offer three handsets—one each made by Samsung Electronics Co., LG Electronics Inc., and HTC Corp. HTCXF 0.00 % —as it looks to diversify its portfolio of mobile devices beyond the iPhone.
It has been a long, hard stumble for Microsoft, which boasted a strong early presence in smartphones. The company's Windows Mobile operating system was commonly found in the smartphones used by the corporate crowd only a few years ago. But the emergence of the iPhone in 2007 forced other smartphone platforms to step up their game, and Microsoft failed to materially update its software and fell behind.
In the past year, Microsoft's share of the smartphone operating system market has nearly halved, falling to 5% in the second quarter from 9.3% a year ago, according to Gartner.
Android has since replaced Microsoft as the mobile operating system of choice for handset vendors that don't already have their own proprietary software. Motorola Inc., for instance, has built its turnaround on its early embrace of Android. And while Samsung, LG and HTC have committed to making Windows Phone 7 devices, all of them have a much larger presence in Android.
Microsoft's own attempt to create a youth-oriented mobile device earlier this year fizzled. The company and carrier partner Verizon Wireless launched a line of Kin phones, but they scrapped it in July after only two months in the market.
The company has been widely criticized for fumbling its acquisition of Danger, which created the software that powered the Sidekick messaging device popular with younger consumers.
Windows Phone 7, which takes its inspiration from the user experience found in the Zune portable media player, represents Microsoft's chance to start over with a new platform. Microsoft has had strict guidelines on the specifications of the devices, which would place them among the higher end of smartphones.
But by starting over, Microsoft faces several challenges. The company has to convince developers that its platform will make an attractive market for thousands of apps that have driven the success of the iPhone and Android smartphones. Like Apple, the company is insisting on a closed, controlled system where applications can only be sold through the Windows Marketplace.
"The developers are being pushed and pulled in several different directions," said Patrick Morck, chief marketing officer for online app store GetJar Inc.
Microsoft, however, has been enticing app developers for months in preparation. The company also promises to integrate features and games from its Xbox Live online gaming service.

I was one of the haters of multiplayer for the simple fact I hate other people being in my game. I don't even like missions where I have to keep people alive (f u RE5). I tried Halo multiplayer at a friends house and, during a half hour stretch, got my ass handed to me by 8 year olds. If I was eight I'd problably love multiplayer because I'd have the time to perfect my craft but I'm not and I don't.
The announcement of multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 infuriated me at first because there was no further information. I thought they were sacrificing the single story gameplay. Later I learned it was four player co-op and I thought I would give it a chance.
Then the demo came out.... thanks, now I'm addicted. I like working with three others players toward the same goals. If we can get four players in the first place, if a player doesn't glitch out of the game (I've been stuck in one place before). Sometimes the AI characters like to breakdance before they get back up or pull Houdini's and one second they're there and the next they're on the floor next to you. There are some kinks to work out for sure but it is solid. I don't know how long I'll continue to play the multiplayer when the actual game comes out but I did buy a nice surround sound headset for the game.
Now this goes out to you guys....
Buy a real headset so I don't have to hear the feedback of your tv! If you own a mic...use it.
If you get killed in the level do NOT stop playing! Most times someone will win the level and bring you back to life. If you leave the rest of us are one man/woman short.
One last thing. FU making us hack a terminal on level 10! FU turret engineer! How many turrets can you really carry anyway? and FU one hit instant kill Phantom!

Office of the Superintendent
Graduation Matters MontanaWednesday, September 1, 2010, 10:21 am
Montana Statewide Dropout and Graduate Report for the 2008-2009 School Year
The Montana Office of Public Instruction's Montana Statewide Dropout and Graduate Report for the 2008-2009 School Year is now available on the OPI Web site:
The advent of a statewide student information system has increased the accuracy and reliability of Montana's dropout data. This report reflects the second year of collecting and verifying data using the student information system known as AIM (Achievement in Montana). Data from last year's 2007-2008 dropout report showed a sharp increase of dropout rates. Completion rates declined slightly but increased for American Indian students.
In this report for 2008 -2009, the number of dropouts decreased slightly for all students and the dropout rate stayed the same relative to last year. Completion rates declined from 84.2% in 2008 to 81.9% for the class of 2009. The completion rate for American Indian students declined from 66.7% in 2008 to 64.4% for the class of 2009.
Superintendent Juneau has made Graduation Matters Montana a top priority and will focus her legislative goals for the 2011 Legislative Session on ensuring that more Montana students graduate from high school ready for college and careers.
The report was prepared by the Office of Public Instruction, Measurement & Accountability Division. For more information contact them at (406) 444-6774.
Superintendent Juneau's Student Summit
On November 12, 2010 40 high school students from varied backgrounds will gather at Carroll College in Helena as part of Superintendent Juneau's first student advisory board. The students will provide information and insight on the needs and goals of Montana students. The focus of the first summit will be centered on the importance of high school graduation to students under the Graduation Matters Montana initiative. The Superintendent's Office is currently planning the student selection process.
OPI and AA High Schools Apply for Federal Funding for High School Graduation Initiative
In July 2010, the Office of Public Instruction joined with a consortium of nine AA high schools to apply for a 5-year, $14.8 million grant to reduce dropout rates. If funded, the project will reach nearly one-third of Montana's high school students with strategies structured around the six research-based recommendations of the Institute of Education Sciences report Dropout Prevention, including Data Systems, Adult Advocates, Academic Supports, Classroom Behavior and Social Skills, Personalized Learning, and Rigorous, Relevant Instruction. As part of the grant, the consortium set targets for raising graduation rates, raising attendance rates, and reducing the percentage of students who are two or more years behind their expected age and credit accumulation. The OPI expects to receive notifications of the grant competition from the U.S. Department of Education by the end of September.

Greek Street is probably the heart of Soho and L'Escargot Restaurant is surely the heart of Greek Street, one of London's most fashionable and well-established eateries. The ground floor restaurant, with mirrored walls and work by artists such as Miro and Chagall, buzzes with life and excitement.

I eat around Soho quite a lot, but never noticed this restaurant until my friend made a booking. I was excited to try it, but the experience was a bit underwhelming. Judging by the name, I thought it was a French restaurant, but I found fish pie on the menu, which screamed British. Not that I have any problem with it, just a bit unexpected. We ordered the name sake dish escargot and foie gras...more
Presentation and service was great, but the food doesn't really live up to expectations, which made the whole experience seem way overpriced. Quite disappointing.more
L'Escargot stands apart from everything else on Greek St as a fancy restaurant. It looks like it used to be a house in the West End which has been converted into a restaurant. We were welcomed by the friendly staff and taken to a corner booth for two: the best restaurant seating arrangement!
The restaurant was surprisingly empty, but it may have been because this was the Monday of a long...more
Basically there is not a lot to add to the other reviews, except to confirm that this is the classic French dining experience, with excellent food and impeccable service - with both sommeliers and bread waiters.
What I particularly like is that they always have a decent vegetarian option, so mixed groups which include a veggie can enjoy a high class French dining experience (something not...more

I tried to discuss my case with what I assume is his office mgr, what an A**. Would not listen to what I had to say, was rude, no people skills and eventually, because he didn't understand my case because he wouldn't let me speak, hung up!
Posted by April
We are in a difficult situation because our case is in Riverside county, but neither myself, the children, nor my ex-husband live in Riverside county any more. Mr. Harrington was the only attorney who would take our case, and we couldn't have done it without him. Even though I couldn't be physically present for any of the hearings or mediation, I was involved in everything. He was compassionate of our dilemma, and helped us take care of our custody issues.
Posted by Kari
Michael Harrington is a professional who is quite knowledgeable in his field of expertise. As a professional he takes the time to listen and understand the facts of the case. I sincerely appreciated how well he explained the process in layperson's terms and conveyed a level of compassion that is rare among his peers. I recommend Michael John Harrington without hesitation.

I was very impressed with Michael's response to my case as well his honesty and integrity.

Be sure to give thanks for the "little things in life"
Miami Times Editorial Department | 11/28/2013, 9 a.m.
If you're Black and live in the U.S. on Thursday you'll probably join millions of others who will eagerly grab a plateful of turkey, dressings, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, corned bread and sweet potato or pumpkin pie. You'll probably try to eat early so that you can claim your favorite seat in front of a widescreen television and watch the parades and the endless number of football games — routing for your favorite teams. As the evening unfolds, those from the older generation will begin to tell tall tales to the delight of their children, grandchildren and other members of their extended family. Some will throw down in games of bid whist, spades and dominoes while others will relocate to more quieter positions where they'll imbibe on their chosen "beverage."
This is what Thanksgiving Day is all about — at least for some of us. But there are many, hundreds upon thousands, who have no idea where their next meal will come from — or when. For the growing number of homeless, helpless and locked out Americans, Thanksgiving is just like any other day. It will be a day during which they struggle to survive — a forgotten class in a land of so-called "plenty."
That's why we hope that instead of just celebrating the day in isolation, that you will do something for someone less fortunate. Make a call to a senior citizen that lives all alone and is probably eating a frozen dinner. Help a single parent with babysitting so they can get a few moments of rest. Go to a shelter or a church and serve a meal and encourage someone struggling with an addiction or an affliction. Take a trip to a local hospital and take some gifts to a children's ward. Take time to reflect on all that you have and for which you should be thankful and then give thanks to God or to your higher power. And remember that if you're alive there's always hope — the sun does come out eventually and bad times don't last forever. We just have to be a little patient sometimes. Happy Thanksgiving.
