Earlier this month, young science enthusiasts gathered at Walnut Elementary School in Turlock for the 19th Annual Elementary Science Olympiad, hosted through the Stanislaus County Office of Education.
By TERESA HAMMOND
The Oakdale High School Academic Decathlon team has wrapped up another successful year. In March, the OHS team traveled to Sacramento for the 16th consecutive year as the Stanislaus County representative.
Valley Home students were recently acknowledged for their scholastic efforts at a Student of the Month assembly. Students honored were: Jesse Ruddy, Joshua Blasengym, Seth Presant, Dylan Fmura, Carlos Astorga, Colter Rice, Alex Felix, Ryan Wells and Skylah Mecca (not pictured).
From learning the products of California to getting a chance for an up close look at some farm animals, the students at Valley Home School (kindergarten through eighth grade) were busy all day Thursday, with presentations from two different groups of FFA students.
The Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) is hosting a Teacher Recruitment Job Fair on Saturday, April 9 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at SCOE's downtown offices, 1100 H St., Modesto. This year's job fair is open to fully-credentialed teachers or intern-eligible candidates and credential completion candidates by August 2016 (verified by Program Completion letter or Intern Eligible letter) who pre-register on-line by Wednesday, March 30 at www.edjoin.org. Admission is free. (Candidates who do not pre-register will be admitted into the fair at 10 a.m.)
The students of Oakdale High School have once again left their mark on Stanislaus County Office of Education.
This week marks the final time that Magnolia Elementary School Principal Julie Minabe and Vice-Principal Kathy Jenkins will observe Spring Break as Oakdale Joint Unified staff members. At the March 14 OJUSD School Board meeting, the retirement of the Elementary school administrators as well as a host of others, was approved by the board.
A little hard work didn't scare five year old Grace O'Brien.
Oakdale High School's Science Olympiad Team participated in the 2016 Stanislaus County Regional Science Olympiad earlier this month. Two teams attended representing OHS. The Gold Team earned an Overall Second Place honor which now advances them to the Northern California State Finals for the eighth consecutive year. The Red Team earned a respectable 10th Place overall.
The sun broke through the clouds as runners and walkers reported to the Cloverland Elementary School campus for the Seventh Annual SOS Fun Run on Saturday, March 12. The annual event welcomed close to 250 participants entered in the one mile and 5k race distances.
Pam Wright and Gail Marganelli, Co-Presidents of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), Oakdale Riverbank Escalon Branch, have announced the winners of the local AAUW Speech Trek public speaking project. On Feb. 25, competing students (all from Oakdale High School) delivered their 5-6 minute original speeches on "Gender Bias and Inequality." This challenging topic asked that the speech makers conduct research, and address the questions of what is gender bias, what is its impact on people, and why should organizations such as AAUW continue to work to change its practice?
Two buses complete with students and family traveled to Sonora on Friday, March 11 to attend the 30th Annual Sonora Celtic Faire. GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) students from each of the four Oakdale Elementary Schools attended the faire as part of the Family Tapestry unit.
An estimated 750 Stanislaus County high school students will converge on the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock on Thursday, March 24 for the 31st Annual Occupational Olympics and Career Exposition (OOCE). The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with an awards ceremony at 1 p.m.

WINDSOR, England – I had dreamed of one day running the Olympic torch and on July 10 my dream came true. What a day it was. And what a journey it was to get there! Coca-Cola has been a proud sponsor of the Olympic Games since 1928 and has sponsored the Olympic torch relay since the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where I won my four Olympic medals. We are both celebrating a 20th anniversary of sorts – it's been 20 years since I competed in the Barcelona Games – and we did it together on the streets of Windsor...

So I wanted to share my past and hope that everythying turns out good in the next couple of days/weeks. I've had 3 miscarriages in the last 3 years (all between 6-11 weeks). I'm going on 36 this year and do not have children of my own (been married for 13 years and my husband is going on 39 this year-he does have a son from a prior marriage).
In the 3 years I've gone to 3 specialist ... all who think and steer me in different directions. I ended up switching because I had one that said after all the extensive testing ... there's nothing wrong with either of you so just keep trying and one will eventually be a normal full term pregnancy as this happens to many. My problem is that I'm able to get pregnant from just one try ... but then I can't keep them. I followed everything the doctor said (progesterone suppositories and synthroid - although my level was normal for fertility reasons they wanted it lower) ... anyway I had the miscarriage again.
I've now been going to another doctor who started telling me (1 year after my last miscarriage) that my hormone levels are showing poor quality and basically just wants me to lose weight (even though I don't have a problem getting pregnant) and to directly go on IVF (which I don't have the $$ for).
Anyway ... i was recently told you wouldn't even quality for IVF at this time becuase your quality / hormone levels are terrible and basically are pre-menopausal. I decided to not listen to the doctors which were causing me more unnecessary stress ..... and I tried myself again .... and this week after being 1 day late of my monthly cycle .... I'm pregnant .. .but my beta was only 22. I was testing at home for my LH surge but never got one positive .... so the problem now is I don't exactly know when I ovulated.
This time around I had also gone to see a hematologist ... who also did more testing and basically said everything was fine (he did mention that there were some rare numbers that could be explained due to my weight or having PCOS - which I don't). So he suggested that I would benefit from using blood thinner .. .and he prescribed arixtra.
So either my beta results are very, very early (as in just 1 week pregnant to show hormone levels in bloodwork) or ... this is the beginning of a problem again. I go for more beta testing next week and trying to defy my odds with all I've got. This time around I started progesterone and arixtra (which I've never used before) during the expected ovulation timeframe .... so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (including toes) ... that this year will be my year to bring a baby home with us.
Sorry for the long, long post ... & baby dust & positive thoughts for everyone.

|The best restaurants in Hong Kong are sometimes inside closet-like spaces...
If you've ever called/emailed/tweeted me about where to eat in Hong Kong, here's more or less the list you would've seen. I've copied and pasted it here, with a little more detail added. I'll try to update as often as possible/relevant. Note that I've tried to keep my notes short to keep it an easy to read 'list', but if you want more details, just ask. Links will take you to addresses either in Openrice, one of my previous posts, or to my Facebook photos (usually with notes of some sort). (And I haven't had time to link everything, so please do a search on Openrice).
As this list is intended for visitors, most places are easy to get to, though not all are on an average visitor's trail. One day I will split them up into "easy/not so easy to get to", but until then...
For the hot spanking new (but not necessarily wow), you might also like to check out the Heatmaps I did for Eater in January, April and December 2012, July and December 2013, June 2014.
To reiterate: this is a work in progress. Am I an idiot for having left something out? Tell me - comment away!
Traditional Cantonese
Seventh Son - top Fook Lam Moon alumni. Cantonese perfection.
One Harbour Road - all round favourite for service, food and views.
Lung King Heen - the only 3-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in the world etc. but the hype has real substance - food, service, ambiance, view - all tops! Book way ahead.
Yan Toh Heen - textbook good, and plus it has a great view
Kin's Kitchen - family-run with hard-to-find Cantonese specialties. Protip: they can do gluten-free with prior arrangement.
Sang Kee - rough n' ready but so delish. Fried cuttlefish! (Not to be confused with the congee place in Sheung Wan)
The Chairman - MSG-free, careful sourcing, traditional techniques. I haven't been back in a while. Worryingly, I keep hearing mixed reports.
Celebrity Cuisine - quality, skillful Cantonese fare.
Kimberley Chinese Restaurant - that pig!
Dim Sum
Seventh Son - see above
Duddell's - they do more than dim sum, but dim sum is the best part. Pricey but classy. Beautiful space.
Lin Heung (this links to a post from my early days of food blogging, so please excuse the other random crap on that blog...) - it's old school, and the food is rough n' ready. Some people prefer the newer carbon copy Lin Heung Kui on the corner of Queens St. Each to their own, but either way, go at breakfast-time.
Fu Sing - a lot of people like this place and swear by its char siu. It's ok all-round. Have the baked char siu buns. One gripe - they don't (always) do steamed rice paper rolls.
West Villa - Fairly consistent, above average, very busy, great char siu. Increasingly expensive though.
A note on Tim Ho Wan - it's not the "best dim sum ever" and the Michelin star is a joke, but for those lower-than-low prices, it's very good, as long as you don't mind waiting for about an hour for a table. There's a branch above Hong Kong Station - nice initiation for new arrivals, or a great snack for the wait at the airport (protip: get takeaway to avoid the queue). The crispy baked char siu bun *is* indeed good. Loads of branches around town and internationally, even. Side note: Sham Shui Po branch is not the original - the original was in Mong Kok but it's since closed.
Organic/Slow food/New Chinese
The Chairman - not exactly organic but back to basics - farm-to-table, locavore, no MSG, traditional ingredients and recipes (to an extent). Pre-order the gum chin gai.
Ho Lee Fook & Little Bao - see Modern Asian below.
Mott 32 - Sichuan, Cantonese, Pekingese and a bit of Taiwanese thrown in. It has the kind of achingly hip setting that foodies love to hate, except the food is legit. (And the cocktails are pretty darned good too)
Tai Fung Lau Peking Restaurant - Tsim Sha Tsui, enter on Hart Ave - traditional hot pot (shua yang rou) - i.e. pots with chimneys. They do duck here too but it's not their forte
Kowloon Tang - Elements (the mall above Kowloon Airport Express Station). The best Peking duck I've probably ever had (including in Beijing). The other dishes are Canto though.
Spring Deer - old school fatty Peking duck with ancient, grumpy waiters
Peking Garden - The Alexandra House branch is still my best bet in HK for a leaner, super-crisp Peking duck
American Restaurant - Funny name; old school duck destination. A bit greasy and rough around the edges but I still love their wok hei.
Shanghainese/Suzhou/Hangzhou/Ningbo (sorry if I've offended anyone by clumping these together - forgive me, I'm an ignorant Cantonese person. No, seriously, Chinese provincial fare is so bastardised here, they're almost the same thing)
Zhe Jiang Heen - The story goes - some rich dudes got sick of the traffic jams in Central just to get to the Shanghai Fraternity (see above) and decided to open their own place in Wanchai with chefs they trust. The food here is consistently excellent. Pre-order the hongshao rou with squid.
Snow Garden - old school Shanghainese done well. Many of HK's Shanghainese chefs trained there.
Shanghai Garden - nothing too exciting, reliable and relatively easy to book on weekends. My family are regulars.
Hong Zhou - super old school, a bit grubby but very likeable.
Shanghai Fraternity Association - private kitchen/club. Best you know someone or have a good concierge to secure a table.
Xiao Nan Guo - cheap and cheerful with good xiaolongbao - not quite as amazing as Din Tai Fung's but half the wait (at least). Cute desserts too.
San Xi Lou - Central/Mid-levels - mala (numbingly hot) hot pot and trad Sichuan dishes, don't order from non-Sichuan menu.
Sijie - private kitchen run by Sichuanese, near Times Square in Causeway Bay. Owner (Sijie) is a hoot - I dare you to down a (BYO) beer with her at the end of service!
Yun Yan - modern Sichuan done well
Qi House of Sichuan - super duper nuclear strength chilli
Da Ping Huo is a private kitchen for those who want atmos and hospitality. The chef (wife) usually comes out and sings opera at the end; the husband is the maitre d' of sorts and is a painter. You're generally well looked after by jovial staff. Just don't go expecting "real" Sichuan food. It's been modernised, or (HK-ised?) but still very tasty.
Sheung Hing (or Shung Hing)
Chan Kan Kee - more like a quick lunch spot or takeaway joint than a restaurant, but they do pretty decent poached goose.
Hot Pot (aka steamboat)
There are plenty around town for every budget. The main thing for me is the quality of ingredients.
Da Hong Pao
Megan's Kitchen (they have a decent English menu, and therefore (maybe) you'll bump into a few expats)
San Xi Lou (see Sichuan)
Classic French
Gaddi's - Peninsula Hotel TST - very trad, some would even say it's camp, with its frills, gilding and all. Best for the very reasonably priced set lunch. As far as I know Robuchon and Caprice also do reasonably-priced lunch sets. I've personally been to Robuchon and find it to be very good, but for the price, I'd still go to Gaddi's for the whole hog (sterling service). Anyway, L'Atelier discussions shouldn't go under classic French...
Contemporary European and/or French
Amber - Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Central - I've had some truly awesome meals there. One of the first places in HK to cook contemporary European to an international level.
NUR - sort of but not really new Nordic, well-executed with a firm vision for sustainable & local ingredients. (Also in my SCMP feature)
Serge et Le Phoque - super fun, casual vibe and sophisticated food in the middle of Wanchai market. There's nothing quite like it in HK.
Arcane - Shane Osborn's take on non-fussy fine dining. A lot of his ingredients are top notch, direct from Japan.
ON - cheese and excellent fine French fare.
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - JR needs no introduction, but I must say that his Salon de The downstairs (and now at IFC and Elements) does one of the best sandwich deals in town.
Caprice - (edit Oct 2014:) we're all waiting with baited breath to see if the stars will stay this year.
Mandarin Grill - a classic. Some say it's changed for the worse since molecular influences by Exec Chef Uwe Opocensky came on board, but I still quite like it - usually nothing to fault from a technical level, and the service is tops. Since the crazy inflation our city's been seeing, The Grill is actually now a good deal for fine dining.
"On a lower budget" Western (nothing is "cheap" in Hong Kong anymore, especially not Western food)
Neighborhood - whether or not you're on a budget, you need to go here. David Lai's (On Lot 10) new place is spectacular and the pricing is ridiculously reasonable. I wish I lived next door.
Serge et Le Phoque - see contemp French above.
Stone Nullah Tavern - "New American" food on small sharing plates - from chicken fried steak to fennel salad, and beyond. Operated by the same group as Linguini Fini, not quite as cheap, but still cheerful and relatively light on the wallet. Same focus on local, organic, produce, so menu changes sseasonally. Cool vibe.
TAP - local and international craft beers, well though-out bar food. Excellent pitstop if you find yourself in Mong Kok.
Linguini Fini - fun, modern American-Italian with a locavore focus.
Bistro du Vin - cliched but not less comforting French bistro classics. No corkage is always a plus.
Le Bistro Winebeast - excellent value wines, very solid French-ish bistro food. The secret regulars don't want you to know. (It's already always busy)
Caprice Bar - at lunch on weekdays only. The Four Seasons' fine diner has a separate bar, and it serves proper meals at lunchtime. Excellent bistro food at that - image bistro dishes cooked with fine dining precision. Walk-in only.
Otto e Mezzo Bombana - expensive but delicious, especially the pasta and that ribeye for two. Book well ahead, especially now that it has 3 tyres.
Carbone - Italian American - yes, the one from New York. No one expected it to be good, but it has delivered and then some. Mark ups on the wine list are ridiculous though. The $500 corkage is actually probably worth it.
Bellavita - kinda under-the-radar, reliable Italian restaurant - not cheap-cheap, but not sky high fine dining either.
Ta Pantry - a private kitchen. Not entirely western - Esther, the chef, has a few menus, they're all comfort/fusion-ish, with great flavour combinations.
Steak House at the InterContinental Hotel - Probably the best steaks in town, but I hope you're not paying!
Bar food
If you like to drink and eat...
Ronin - even if you don't drink, the modern Japanese food is sublime. If you do drink, then all the better! Huge range of whiskies, great cocktails. Not really fair to call it a "bar" as dinner would easily run you HK$1k.
Caprice Bar - brilliant cheeses, wines and ultra-knowledgeable staff (and yes, that's Caprice, the fine diner at the Four Seasons).
121BC - Italian-via-Sydney wine bar and bistro
Ted's Lookout - drinks are so-so, the American bar food is pretty good if you're in the mood for sliders and the like. Be prepared to fight for seats with hipsters.
Butler - Japanese precision. (See bars) Ok, the food isn't great - it's sort of Japanese western, think spaghetti with cream and mentaiko - but they also always have very good jamon.
Modern Asian
Ronin - modern Japanese, not strictly sushi/sashimi, by the crew behind Yardbird. (see Bars with food)
Little Bao - bao-based menu, but don't think Momofuku, because LB is so much more in tune with the Asian palate.
Ho Lee Fook - You could call it Modern Chinese, but it got plenty of Southeast Asian touches too. Forget the label, it's just damn good food. The Wagyu short ribs are killer.
Chachawan - The only Thai that isn't Chinese-ified and that I can heartily recommend in HK. It's Isaan food - so be prepared for lots of extremely spicy dishes.
Ho Lee Fook - You could call it Modern Chinese, but it got plenty of Southeast Asian touches too. Forget the label, it's just damn good food. The Wagyu short ribs are killer.
Chachawan - The only Thai that isn't Chinese-ified and that I can heartily recommend in HK. It's Isaan food - so be prepared for lots of extremely spicy dishes.
Won Pung Won - one of many little Korean-owned and run restaurant in TST, but I like that their food is fresh and not over-sauced, and that they have everything from BBQ to shabu-shabu (sorry I don't know what the Korean name for it is - the servers here call it that too!) to standard, hearty dishes like galbi jim.
Jun-Ko - family-style and one of my favourites. A handy pre-theatre dinner spot as it's close to the Arts Centre etc. Ask for the "raw" kimchi.
Lee's Family Chicken (also known as Chicken Hof & Soju) - three words: Korean Fried Chicken.
Fairyland - also very good Korean Fried Chicken, better than Lee's even, but doesn't take bookings and only has about 30 seats. Go as off peak as possible.
Kaya - Russell St, Causeway Bay - BBQ.
Myeongdong Express - looks like a student canteen, and probably is, given its relative proximity to the Polytechnic University. Cheap and cheerful.
Go Koong - [link goes to photos on FB page] fancy menu with a gazillion things, all pretty decent.
Cheong-Jin Dong - both CJD and Go Koong are decent go-tos for Korean, CJD is probably slightly cheaper.
Viet Kitchen - modern Vietnamese, very good pho.
Le Garçon Saigon - modern Vietnamese bistro. Hip and happening.
Brass Spoon - I haven't been yet but I hear the pho is legit. Lunch to early evening only.
Sushi & Sashimi
Sushi Mori Tomoaki
Sushi Tokami - import from Tokyo. Known for their tuna.
Kenjo - omakase is super pricey ($1000+ per head), but if you're not too hungry and order from the menu you can come out only $400 lighter
Sushi Sase - top of my "high end Japanese to go to" list, I've not been yet, but have only heard good things.
Sushi Kuu - "No, OMG, I cannot leave Central!" sushi place. Decently priced for the location and quality (above average).
Sushi Shota for decent sushi and kushiyaki for $200-300 per head (not incl. drinks), Causeway Bay
Sushi Shikon (ex-Sushi Yoshitake) - I've yet to blow HK$3k on a meal here, but reports have been stellar.
Ramen Jo
Ichiran - 24h, heavy Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, perfect post-party nosh.
Ippudo - cheap and cheerful chain.
Inaniwa Udon Nabe - at Elements. When you need a quickish meal of proper food (and popcorn at the cinema does not count). Very decent, silky, "al dente" udon.
Izakaya / yakiniku / yakitori / kushiyaki
Kusuya Rakuen - izakaya/sake bar. Very casual Okinawan fare, large awamori and sake selection. The bar is the reason I go - it's probably my favourite place to sit in the whole of Hong Kong. Serious. I've never put it on the blog because they're packed as hell already and to make matters worse, have recently shortened their opening hours (1am weekdays, midnight Sat - go figure). Boo.
Yardbird - yakitori (mostly chicken). House-infused sakes, etc., a neighbourhood hang turned the hottest opening of 2011, by ex-Zuma chef Matt Abergel.
Nantei - before yakitori was hip, there was Nantei. Don't think it's not going to be crowded though, the place only sits about 20 people tops. Book.
Hokahoka - if you ever find yourself in a back alley of TST East (I won't judge), hungry for some Japanese bar food and sake - here you go. Full of Japanese businessmen.
Old School HK style
Tai Ping Koon - east-meets-west, kitschy 1950s style. This was considered 'western' food to HKers in the 40's. They're most famous for their chicken wings poached in sweet soy sauce and huge souffles. Several branches, I like the ones on Pak Sha Rd, Causeway Bay, and Granville Rd, TST. Decor at Granville is more interesting - 50s timewarp.
Australian Dairy Company - not for everyone, and nothing to do with Australia! (See my very old Openrice review via link)
Kung Wo - tofu paradise, if you're venturing out to Sham Shui Po.
Grassroots Pantry - one of the cutest restaurants in HK, helmed by a passionate team who use local organic produce as much as possible and are very committed to sustainability. They've opened Prune Deli & Workshop next door too. Love the sweet treats in particular.
Lok Cha Teahouse - in Hong Kong Park (walk up from Pacific Place, Admiralty) for tea and dim sum in a quaint setting. The dim sum is passable
Three Virtues - bustling, very "local" veg dim sum place. Things get a bit oily, but pretty tasty. North Point (and branches)
Harvester - pay-by-weight lunch spot in Sheung Wan
Amy's Vegetarian - private kitchen if you can ever get a booking
Veggie Palace - also a private kitchen, less difficult to book, in Wanchai.
Vegelink - another veg private kitchen that comes highly recommended. North Point.
Cafe Causette - not a veg restaurant, but a nice selection of perfectly executed and interesting enough vegetarian food, at the Mandarin Oriental
Mana! - a newer "fast food" joint by the folks behind Life Cafe.
Private Kitchens
Some are mentioned above under their respective cuisines - just grouping them all together again...
Ta Pantry - see Miscellaneous Western
Seema's Private Kitchen
Sijie - see Sichuan
Amy's Vegetarian - see Vegetarian
Veggie Palace - see Vegetarian
The Butchers Club - exactly the meatfest they sound like, specialising in dry-aged beef.
Brunch (this has stayed pretty empty, because honestly, I prefer dim sum for brunch with friends!)
Amber - I always get sick after their weekend wine lunch, but I always go back. I think that tells you something.
Common Ground - simple cafe food in a hipster PoHo.
teakha - see Patisseries
Patisseries/Sweet things
teakha - scones, Asian teas, and the cutest terrace. Now there's the bigger, calmer teakha II near HKU.
Via Tokyo - hojicha soft serve! (Hopefully it'll be on the permanent menu!)
Lab Made - nitrogen ice cream place. Nothing new tech-wise anymore, but I like that they go for very "Hong Kong" flavours like beancurd skin and gingko sweet soup, and condensed milk toast. Some misses though, like lemon Ribena (too milky).
Po's Atelier - Japanese-French-ish
Sift - dessert bar, cake shop and probably Hong Kong's best cupcakes. Sit-down in Graham St original, cafe in Princes Building (both Central), and takeaway in Wan Chai.
Mandarin Cake shop (not Landmark Mandarin) - you can also sit in now. Gobstopping sugar art on show; great cakes, pastries and bread; rose petal jam makes a great souvenir.Xiao Tian Gu - Hokkaido milk puddings!
Coffee - an expanded version here, but even that is out of date now. So many cafes have opened recently, even I can't keep up, which is a very good thing.
The Cupping Room - the best. Barista champions and all that. A few branches on HK island.
Peel Street Espresso Bar by Redback Coffee - excellent value for money, local roasters. Cool spot that turns into a bar at night.
Knockbox - in Mong Kok, helmed by barista champs, "serious" new wave coffee.
18 Grams - Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay and more.
Unar Coffee - hipsters unite! Tai Hang, and cute outlet in the Star Ferry Pier on Tsim Sha Tsui side.
Coco Espresso - Sheung Wan, Wanchai, Central
Crema - one of HK's first 'real' coffee places, but due to hidden/inconvenient location in TST East, lack of PR and coffee knowledge of the public, has never had as much great press as the likes of Fuel Espresso. They only use 1 blend.
Xen - specialises in siphon coffee, a bit out of the way in Quarry Bay (bad rhyme unintentional).
Espresso Alchemy - also in Quarry Bay, and the only place for a proper espresso-based drink out there at the moment.
Afternoon TeaClipper Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental
InterContinental Lobby Lounge - the view! The view! And good food too.
teakha (see Patisseries)
Probably not as much of a concern to visitors, but we are definitely seeing the rise of artisanal breads here and it's worth noting. I don't know about you, but I rely very much on bakeries when I'm travelling alone for a quick carby snack.
Levain - one of the only homegrown, independent bakeries in town (another is Tufei Pain Pain but their selection is too small).
Po's Atelier (see Patisseries)
Salon de The de Joel Robuchon - as mentioned above, best sandwich deal in town, but also great cakes and baguettes
Mandarin Cake Shop - if you need a large loaf, like a sourdough rye, call ahead so they can hold one for you because by the afternoon they're sold out. I like their wholewheat croissants too. They have seats if you want to stop for a coffee (but go regular/brewed, not espresso-based)
Bread Elements - ex-Four Seasons pastry chefs, dedicated to their craft. Buy retail from Chez Patrick Deli.
Misc local eats
Wonton noodles
Mak's on Wing Kut St, Sheung Wan (nb. this is different to the Mak's that most people go to and that you may already be familiar with, which is on Wellington St). This Mak's is the "original" Mak's son; the famous Mak's is his son-in-law and grandson.
Chee Kei - a very reliable chain.
Cha Chaan Teng - ie. local-style cafes
Honolulu - my vote for best egg tarts in HK at their Wanchai branch.
Capital Cafe - for a less gritty CCT experience, full of Cantopop posters, also in Wanchai
Australia Dairy Company - see Old School HK
Hoi On Cafe
Lan Fong Yuen - junky (but SO tasty) instant noodles with pan-fried chicken, also famed for HK-style milk tea, but it isn't as good as For Kee's, imo. Whatever weird stuff they do with chicken thigh, I love.
For Kee - (old: Part I / Part II [n.b. Part I links to an old, short round-up, in which I say the Sheung Wan ain't worth the good rep it's got for good, cheap food. Okay, so SW's not the best, but I take the "not so great" comment back. I've now grown to love SW, especially For Kee - evident in Part II, in which I call For Kee a "gem". Sheesh, inconsistent bloggers.]) For Kee shouldn't really go under the CCT section, but then again, they do a great milk tea. Their claim to fame is pork chop - it's simply marinated in soy sauce, sugar etc., home style, and pan-fried. Have it on rice, soup noodles or soup macaroni, with choi sum (vegetables), eggs, tomato (and/or - you're the boss!). After about 2pm, they also do pork chop burgers (chop, tomato and mayo - I usually tell them not to put mayo in - personal pref).
Dai Pai Dong - eating at sit-down street stalls (read more about the evolution of dai pai dong here)
Ball Kee - 'Western' fried rice and other fried rice and noodles. Excellent 'wok hei' (breath of the wok). In a tiny alley off Hollywood Rd, diagonally opposite Lin Heung. Woks right next to you, barking waitress lady, brilliant.
Sing Heung Yuen - macaroni in tinned tomato soup and beef omelet? Yep. It's not for everyone. Australia Dairy (see Old School, above) does macaroni in clear soup with processed ham. It's a HK thing.
Chan Sei Kee - classic DPD experience, better at dinner when they cook individual family-style dishes (usually at lunch it's just spam and eggs on rice)
So Kee - the "French" toast is ridic. Another Sham Shui Po gem.
Roasted meats
Yat Lok - roast goose!
Kam's Roast Goose - also roast goose! Part of the family that left the (in)famous Yung Kee.
Joy Hing - char siu and siu yuk (crispy roast pork) are my faves here. Ask for fatty char siu ("fei cha") if you like it, otherwise the default is lean.
Beef brisket noodles
Sister Wah - clear soup brisket. Better than the famous Kau Kee in my opinion. KK's too fatty and their powdery curry makes me choke.
Law Fu Kee - several outlets in Central, and they do deep-fried wontons! (It's a real Chinese thing!)
Sang Kee - Sheung Wan, not to be confused with the Cantonese restaurant in Wan Chai.
Street food
Gai daan zai - I don't really like street food at the stalls on street corners in HK, except for this waffle thing that has protruding oval/egg shapes instead of the standard square/checks. Called 'gai daan zai' and it's a dying art - they just don't make them like they used to. But there are a couple of places that are decent. Note that the Granville guy has moved a little across the street, down towards Chatham Rd - (do check the comments too for more suggestions from more gai daan zai lovers!). And this one, if you're heading to the eastern part of the island, is quite consistently good.
Egg Tarts
Honolulu - my pick for best puff pastry egg tarts in HK is the Wanchai branch.
Tai Cheong - shortcrust egg tarts. Also try their version of donuts - "sa yoong"
Saint Honore - a local bakery chain. Shops with ovens in-house will have warmed shortcrust tarts all day. So easy, so good.
The Woods
Butler - Japanese bar - precision cocktails like the well-known Executive Bar but a slightly younger, less scary atmos. You'll still pay through your nose for a drink, but it's the only place to get a proper cocktail on Kowloon side and for that alone it deserves triple-choc-brownie points.
Artesian at The Langham Hong Kong - ignore, for now, the "world's best bar" accolade with which the London original has been showered. It's still quite new (as at Nov 2014), so give it some time. So far, the classics are very good and thank goodness for another good Kowloon-side bar.
Wyndham the 4th
Nocturne - little Japanese bar in Central with a neat whisky list.
L'etage - Another Japanese bar in Causeway Bay, to replace Yu-zen (gone downhill since Butler - see below) and Executive Bar (so serious it can be scary). Could have a larger (a higher quality) selection of pours though.
The Chinnery - a true classic at the (original) Mandarin Oriental. Think pub crossed with cigar room in a fancy private club, with brilliant, hearty food (think Brit curry) as well as an awesome single malt collection.
Mandarin Grill + Bar - don't mistake the lounge outside the restaurant for a mere waiting room. Their dry martinis are spot-on, and the warmed, spiced nuts don't hurt either(that sounds kind of weird - anyway). Usually has space when other Central spots are full.
001 - speakeasy owned by a liquor store. Love their whisky sour and grilled cheese sandwiches. No photos, and increasingly, an attitude, sigh.
Lobby Lounge at the InterContinental - if you don't mind the lobby atmos (though it's recently been renovated and has a more demure tone) and live band - it's one of the best places for a eye-level, front-row harbour view (like being on a ferry without the wind, humidity and sea sickness) and the food & drink ain't too shabby either.
The Globe - a proper pub and the place to go for craft beers.
TAP - local and imported craft beers, and beer-themed food. Best place to go if you find yourself in Mong Kok.

A fire on Poindexter Road in North Charleston displaced a family of five Saturday afternoon.
The neighborhood is off Ashley Phosphate Road.
The fire was reported just after 4:30 p.m., North Charleston Fire Department spokeswoman Bianca Bourbeau said. Crews from North Charleston and the Ashley River Fire Department put out the fire.
The house was moderately damaged, although there was a significant amount of smoke throughout the house, she said.
Red Cross volunteers were assisting the family.

Existence Precedes Essence
January 7, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
I lost an idea last night. It was late, and I was tired, and I had some kind of insight that seemed interesting—but, with hubris worthy of a Greek tragedy, I told myself I'd remember in the morning. Of course, I didn't. All I remembered was the lightbulb moment, which, with each passing hour, became more dazzling, more revelatory, more important in my memory. Within a few hours of my forgetting it, this had become the best idea I'd ever had. Read More »
Tender Trap
July 10, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
In The Parent Trap—and the German book, Das doppelte Lottchen, on which it's based—two strangers arrive at a girls' summer camp only to discover they are identical. "The nerve of her! Coming here with your face!" exclaims one roommate in the 1961 film. Of course, in The Parent Trap, they're actually twin sisters. But as anyone who's been compared to someone else knows, just the accident of resemblance is enough to cause an instinctive enmity.
I used to work at a store where this one customer would always remark on how much I looked like some friend of hers. She talked about it every time she came in. The friend was named Jen something. She was a potter. She lived in the Hudson Valley. The customer even brought in another woman to attest to this miraculous phenomenon.
"You may think you're a unique person walking around in the world," said the customer one day. (I guess I had thought that.) "But you're not—you're a copy of Jen."
Obviously I had no alternative but to hate this Jen person. I imagine she felt the same way. Read More »
Pastless Futureless Man
September 8, 2014 | by Bernard Radfar
"The Marivaudian being is, according to Poulet, a pastless futureless man, born anew at every instant. The instants are points which organize themselves into a line, but what is important is the instant, not the line. The Marivaudian being has in a sense no history. Nothing follows from what has gone before. He is constantly surprised. He cannot predict his own reaction to events. He is constantly being overtaken by events. A condition of breathlessness and dazzlement surrounds him. In consequence he exists in a certain freshness which seems, if I may so, very desirable."
—Donald Barthelme, "Robert Kennedy Saved from Drowning"
I've been watching and avoiding a man who lives in the present. We go to the same café, each of us alone. He resembles a distinguished physicist, the kind invited to appear on television when a scientific worldview is needed. So I was intent on listening to him when he stood up to greet his friend, also in his golden years.
The friend asked him how he had been doing.
"Oh, I don't know, I misplaced my laptop. I can't remember where I put it."
"Did you ask someone for help?"
"I think so. But you know I can't remember anything. And so I bought an iPad, but I lost that, too."
"Yes, I lost my car the other day."
"No. Where?"
"I don't know." Read More »
Elliptical Orbit: On Mircea Cartarescu
February 26, 2014 | by Sharon Mesmer
In the summer of 2011, I spent every afternoon Google-mapping the Chicago neighborhood where I grew up. I pulled the shades down, turned the air conditioner up, and typed the intersections that define Back of the Yards—named for its proximity to the Union Stockyards—into the search box. I was in the early stage of a nervous breakdown, obsessively attempting to revivify the past, the only place where, I believed, continuity existed. Fifty-First and Loomis was my embarkation point: the intersection where our family doctor's office was located. An unfilled prescription, from 1965, that I'd found in my deceased mother's jewelry box provided the office's address. My mother and I had had a contentious relationship, but that summer I fantasized about opening her grave and throwing her skeletal arms around me—"I thought even the bones would do," to quote Plath. I used the objects from the jewelry box (grocery lists, a Revlon "Moondrops" powder compact, old Sears charge cards, blue crystal rosaries, a Coty lipstick) to reconstruct her existence, and finding that prescription was like finding the key to a long-locked door.
Going to the doctor had been a kind of family outing—every three months, to get my grandmother's diabetes checked—and I wasn't sure if I had dreamed those odd excursions to that tiny office. My mother would go downstairs to get my grandmother dressed: clean hairnet; heavy girdle and thick support pantyhose; rhinestone brooch; nice dress instead of a stained shift; black orthopedic shoes instead of house slippers; and dentures, from the glass on the bathroom sink. Then she'd run upstairs to get my sister and me ready, dabbing Chantilly perfume on our wrists. Read More »
Reading Through the Leaves
November 5, 2013 | by Amy Grace Loyd
I was recently asked by a Canadian online magazine to visit with the books on my shelves, to find what I've hidden in them over the years—old boarding passes, postcards, grocery lists, a love letter never sent. Yes, I found all these things, but mostly I found tree leaves in my books. The editor wanted a picture, fifty or so words, but I kept writing because it bears explaining why I do this—how I take leaves back to my apartment to identify them, compare them to pictures in other books; and once I've named them, or sometimes because I've failed to, how I feel compelled to keep the specimens—from ash trees, lindens, London planes, honey locusts, and as-yet unknown (to me) trees all over Brooklyn. They are slipped between pages of novels, story and essay collections, a biography, books I have read and often reread, and when I open them later, forgetting myself and the last day I read that book and where, and under what tree, the leaves reenact the fall, not just one leaf but several, all different sorts, falling, or it's the fragile end of a branch of a pinnate leaves that's waiting for me, as here in this photo.
I do this in part because Brooklyn, and Brooklyn Heights in particular, where I've lived for over twenty years now, has always felt a refuge from a New York City urbanity that is unabashed and demanding, denuded of softness. The streets in Brooklyn Heights in spring, summer, and every year longer into fall are canopied by the copses of trees, reaching for and finally catching each other. These streets feel like invitations to secrets—the right to secrets—to full breaths and quiet even in this city. The other reason I do this, will always do this, owes to my grandfather, who was an arborist, or tree surgeon, in Vermont. Truth be told, he taught me nothing about trees. I was too young to ask, and in my teens, approaching my twenties, when I did think to inquire, he didn't seem to care to talk about all the trees he'd pruned, saved, and declared beyond saving, especially during the height of the Dutch elm disease in Vermont, when he and his crew carved up hundreds of elms and carted them away for burning.
He wanted to talk about his life before he was married and settled with children and responsibility in Bennington. He'd been a salesman, an itinerant in the 1920s, and lived in rooming houses up and down the East Coast, from New York to Florida, with other young men similarly and mostly happily unmoored. He saw in my youth his own and described men he'd protected from bigger men, men he'd hit, drank with, women who'd been kind, whose faces now were simply the faces of angels, that out of reach. He died when I was nineteen before my sisters and I had all the right questions to ask, so now I can't stop asking when I look up from my reading on a city bench or stoop: Is that a Chinese scholar tree? Is that one a Norway maple? I asked recently while reading Grace Paley's collected stories, reading I first did in the nineties and still do fairly often now, for the immediacy and singularity of Paley's voice, her frankness and energy (partly a gift of city living and loving), and her humor even when confronting human sorrows and disappointments. The book is full of dust from leaves, like the ones pictured here, that want to disintegrate. I won't let them. I close the book and reseal them—keep the conversation going.
Amy Grace Loyd's debut novel, The Affairs of Others, was published by Picador on August 27. Loyd is an executive editor at Byliner Inc. and was the fiction and literary editor at Playboy magazine. She worked in The New Yorker's fiction department and was associate editor for the New York Review Books Classics series. She has been a MacDowell and Yaddo fellow and lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Second Chances
February 13, 2013 | by Tupelo Hassman
My husband hung up the wind chimes today. This doesn't sound like a big deal, as my husband is a competent man and gravity is working as it should. It is a big deal, though, because these are big wind chimes, eight feet tall, made of steel tubes that gong when the wind catcher catches. They aren't beautiful to look at, nor beautiful to hear, unless you really dig church, but they are beautiful to me, and now that they're up, after two weeks at our new house, I know we are home. Again. This is our third move in five years.
I inherited the wind chimes from my folks. My parents had the sort of love affair that required them to marry each other twice. This would be more romantic if there wasn't a divorce in the middle of that, say, or if they weren't in the process of a second divorce when my mother died. Where some couples have trial separations, my parents had trial marriages. The family agrees that if these two were still alive today, they would be going for yet another round.
On the second try, they moved to Washington state, to a house overlooking the Hood Canal, a tiny, perfect part of the Puget Sound. For the nine months they managed to keep their romance together this time, the house was alive with the magic of second chances. Where the first album I ever remember hearing is Paul Simon's Greatest Hits loud on Pops's eight-track, the Washington trial marriage, fifteen years later, was perfectly timed with the release of Simon's Graceland. The house rang with Pops's voice singing along to you "You Can Call Me Al," a pointed reference to a past love of Mom's. This Al had died years before, but death brings no end to competition in marriages such as this, and Pops took more pleasure from it than he should have. Mom loved Simon's "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," and would insist the song was about me, one of the prettier riddles I inherited. Read More »

I'm a self-taught crafter, of a variety of different crafts and mediums. My latest passion has been crocheting!
Just over a year ago, we moved up to God's country where the winters can be really long. I needed something to do to pass the time and keep me warm, crocheting was just that "thing"! I found that making blankets for wedding gifts, also helped to keep me warm during the day. lol

Tangier in 2000 was a sleepy coastal city in the north of Morocco. Fifteen years later, Tangier's population has exploded three-fold into a vibrant metropolitan area of 1.5 million inhabitants. The city's free-zones have attracted new industries, such as automobile producers. A new business district called Tangier City Center and new satellite cities arise around Tangier's old town, providing local inhabitants with modern infrastructure and amenities that have been sorely lacking. A new high-speed train is being built to connect people with the state-of-the-art Ibn Batouta International Airport.
What policy actions are you taking to harness the benefits and address the challenges of the digital economy?
The Paris Agreement on climate change signals the end of business as usual for energy industries. For the first time in history more than 150 developed and developing countries have promised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But how binding are these agreements? And do they provide impetus for local action in Africa?
"Regional authorities in Africa are now getting involved in the fight against climate change by making concrete commitments."
Interview with Jeannot Ahoussou-Kouadio, President of the Assembly of Regions and Districts of Côte d'Ivoire (ARDCI)
There are many countries emerging from conflict. Why care about Mali?
Insurgency is a cause of underdevelopment in large areas of West Africa, holding back the task of achieving social and economic progress.
The financial landscape has changed considerably in Africa since 2000. Private external flows in the form of investment and remittances now drive growth in external finance, according to the African Economic Outlook 2015. Foreign investments are expected to reach US$73.5 billion in 2015, underpinned by increasing greenfield investment from China, India and South Africa.
Since democracy was restored in 1999, Nigeria has engaged in ambitious reforms towards greater market liberalisation and economic openness. By far the most populous country of the continent–with more than 170 million people Nigeria is home to 18% of Africa's population–it now claims to be the largest
economy in Africa, with an estimated nominal GDP of US$510 billion. Its GDP growth has never been below 5% since 2003, and since 2009, it has become the preferred destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa, ahead of South Africa.
What will fuel Africa's economic growth and development? Will urban centres be the spark? Will agricultural areas drive productivity? The answer is both.
This post is from Juana de Catheu, founder of Development Results and Donata Garrasi, Peace-building Adviser in the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate.
South Africa has made rapid progress in educational attainment compared with other emerging countries, with near full enrolment in primary and secondary schooling. Pre-primary schooling has expanded fast too, and so to a lesser extent has third-level education.

Can Africa sustain its recent strong economic performances and benefit more from its abundant resources?
Nigerian oil is renowned for being easy to refine, though this also fuels a trafficking problem. Oil theft in Nigeria hit a record high in the first quarter of 2013. Nigerian authorities reported a loss of US$1.2 billion in a single month, equivalent to a 17% drop in sales.
Judging from media headlines, we are in a phase of Afro-optimism. Are we witnessing Africa's economic take-off? The African Economic Outlook project, the result of a partnership of more than 10 years between the Development Centre, the African Development Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Economic Commission for Africa, presents a contrasting assessment of the continent's "emergence".
The African economy has been enjoying an upsurge in recent years. How confident are you about the future?
Africa has made tremendous progress over the last 13 years, going from "hopeless" to "aspiring", in the words of The Economist. Certainly, Africa's pace of growth has been impressive, averaging 5.1% of GDP per year–much faster than most OECD countries. Some have dismissed this simply as reflecting the recent boom in natural resource prices. They point to the fact that the prices of most commodities– agricultural, mineral and energy–doubled or even tripled over the same period, and warn that Africa's growth will come to an end once resource prices taper off, as is happening now.
Commodities have been a major driver of Africa's growth story in recent years. But you may be surprised to hear that natural resources could have contributed far more than they actually did to Africa's 5% average GDP growth over the last decade. Although Africa's primary sector has expanded, its global share of natural capital dropped from 11.5% in 1995 to 8.5% in 2005.
Though China has recently been a dominant force in trade and investment on the African continent, India and Korea are fast becoming serious challengers. How can African countries make more of these evolving trends? And what role can the traditional partners in the OECD area play?
Insecurity and conflict hinder human, and economic development. The Saharo-Sahelian region today presents some of the most daunting global security threats, which seriously undermine the stability and development of the region. The 2012-2013 crisis in northern Mali, though centred in one nation, epitomises the wider, cross-border dimension of these challenges. Here we point to some of the available policy responses towards their resolution.
Several efforts and interventions have been directed towards resolving the myriad issues that impinge on peace, security and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
OECD Observer: What are the main transport challenges facing your ministry?
Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective means of preventing illness and death, particularly in children. Yet, more than 22 million babies born worldwide each year–four times the number of births in Europe–go unvaccinated, leaving them at risk of contracting, and potentially dying from, vaccine-preventable diseases like measles.
A local non-government organisation is supporting rural development in Orientale Province in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Called ACIAR (Help for Intercultural Communication and Rural Self-help*), its plan is to revive the coffee sector in the Ituri region as an inclusive response aimed at repairing the social and economic damage caused by a conflict that lasted from 1998 to 2004.
The 2008 economic crisis shook up the landscape of financial flows to Africa and brought to the fore two major trends: an upsurge in foreign direct investment (FDI) and a parallel rise in remittances from abroad. Indeed, remittances outpaced both aid and FDI inflows with a compound growth rate over the past decade of 7.7%.
In September 2013 the Kenyan government and the United Nations announced the discovery of huge underground reserves of water in northern Kenya, enough water to last the entire nation for 70 years.

Cotto Believes in His Size, Power Against Mayweather
By Osman Rodriguez
WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) believes his size and power will play a significant roles in the outcome of Saturday's fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs).
Cotto, the WBA light-middleweight champion, believes fighting at 154 pounds will be a major advantage for him. Mayweather will be Cotto's third defense at the weight. The fight takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather, a five division world champion and the current WBC beltholder at welterweight, has not fought at 154 since a title win over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.
"No one should forget that I am very comfortable at 154 pounds, and that will be a huge asset going into this match. Also, there's no doubt I have the power to win this fight. If anything, my power has strengthened. That will make the difference," Cotto said.
"The last few years of life have been great for me as a boxer. I have learned quite a bit about myself, and what it takes to win. My fight with Floyd Mayweather will be great and exciting and I know fans desperately want to see it happen."

British Gas launches IT apprenticeship scheme for school leavers
British Gas has introduced an information systems apprenticeship scheme aimed at school leavers with limited IT experience.
British Gas has introduced an information systems apprenticeship scheme aimed at school leavers with limited IT experience.
The two-year British Gas Information Systems Apprenticeship has vacancies for 30 people based in its offices in Staines.
E-Skills UK has helped launch the scheme. Karen Price, CEO of e-skills UK, says apprenticeships are an ideal way for employers to nurture new talent and create a loyal and skilled future workforce.

The apprenticeship provides classroom-based and on-the-job training and offers four areas of specialism: software development, software testing, projects and business engagement as well as user experience.
Upon completion of the scheme, apprentices gain a level three advanced apprenticeship, diploma and a Duke of Edinburgh gold award.
British Gas undertook a massive IT transformation and spent £150m on technology-driven change in 2010 to help rebuild its customer service standards and bring its main IT operations back in-house after a heavily outsourced model.
With over 600 staff in the IT department, the company is currently working on its own billing engine, including the introduction of a SAP-based platform, which had to be rebuilt following the company's contentious parting from key supplier Accenture.
British Gas also intends to roll out two million smart meters by 2012.
Apprenticeship applications for a September start must be made online. Visit the British Gas website for details on how to apply.

Specialist building firm wins £12m BBC contract
Published 02/09/2008
Moira-based specialist construction firm McMullen Architectural Systems has won a £12m contract from the BBC in Manchester, it was announced today.
The company is to provide curtain walling for a new BBC television and radio centre, along with a 16 floor hotel and 19 floor office building as part of a Manchester city revitalisation scheme.
Design is currently under way on the development, with construction scheduled to commence in January 2009.
McMullen Architectural Systems, named exporter of the year at the Northern Ireland Showcase Build and Design Awards earlier this year, is owned by McMullen Group Holdings, which serves the UK, Irish and International construction markets.
It has doubled its turnover in the past two years to £50m and is expecting to reach turnover of £70m in two years.
Two years ago McMullen invested over £2m in setting up its US subsidiary, McMullen Inc, to meet demand for the company's international order book.
In April 2008 McMullen acquired Systems Aluminium, a curtain wall contractor located in Cumbernauld in Scotland. This made McMullen the biggest UK based curtain wall contractor.
Managing director Ted McMullen said: "This contract announcement is a major coup for McMullen Architectural Systems and further underlines our ability to compete for and deliver major construction projects.
"The company has experienced significant growth and we are confident we will continue this success."

A group of Southern Nevada Democrats and businessmen have filed in Carson District Court to block the Arizona-style anti-immigration petition.
The challenge was filed by the Nevada Open For Business Coalition. It says the initiative petition is "a grab bag of measures" claiming to support enforcement of federal immigration laws. The coalition challenge charges the proposed ballot question violates Nevada's law requiring initiative petitions to contain only one subject.
"It embraces numerous subjects - everything from enacting voter identification laws to creating task forces and advisory boards and to criminalizing the stopping of a vehicle to pick up passengers for work," the coalition states.
"The petition is an election-year mash-up of an Arizona anti-immigration measure... and a recent Indiana voter identification law, itself a foolish solution to an in-person voting fraud problem that does not exist."
The petition would require everyone to carry citizen registration documents, cut aliens off from public benefits, create a gang intelligence fund, increase penalties for smuggling people, make it illegal for anyone to pick up temporary or day workers and create a committee to study employer sanctions for hiring illegals among other things.
Opponents also argue the proposed petition violates Nevada law by not clearly and fully stating the effect it would have.
They ask District Judge James Wilson to prohibit the Secretary of State's office from putting the question on the November ballot.
The coalition is led by Nevada Assembly members Mo Denis and Ruben Kihuen, both Las Vegas Democrats. But Denis said the challenge is "a broad effort of a wide variety of business, gaming, labor and other community interests."
He said the coalition members believe the petition would have devastating economic consequences for the state. He said the Arizona anti-immigrant law has already cost that state nearly $100 million in lost revenue.
"We cannot afford that in Nevada," he said. "Every one of us would feel the economic impact of boycotts and lost business, something our state can ill afford in these challenging times."
The petition was filed by a group headed by Republican Assemblyman Chad Christensen.

"When I started my last company, the knowledge I wish I had then that I have now is that I thought through the capital needs on a longer term basis. The original ideas in the products and services you deliver morph into greater ideas, capital resources become necessary, human capital is something you always need to continue to invest in. So I would ask any entrepreneur to think about the longer term capital needs and to think broader than what's on the surface." — Ed Braswell

Chavez Jr. Admits To Last Minute Struggle To Make Weight
By Salvador Rodriguez
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31KOs) admits that he stuggled a little bit to make the middleweight limit. On Saturday night, Chavez makes the second defense of his WBC middleweight championship. Chavez, who scaled in at 159.5 pounds, will take on mandatory challenger Marco Antonio 'Veneno' Rubio (53-5-1, 46KOs), who weighed 159.
There was a minor delay before Chavez stepped on the scale to make weight. The delay was caused by Chavez's struggle to shave off the final pound. When he finally stepped on the scale, Chavez was forced to fully undress in order to meet required limit.
"We're fine, but the last pound was difficult. We made the weight and tomorrow everything is going to be alright. I'll be stronger and faster than Rubio. Tomorrow I want to demostrate why I'm the champion," Chavez told BoxingScene.com.
Rubio, despite being a 4-1 underdog, has vowed to come out with a lot pressure from the opening bell and he promises to secure the victory by knockout.
"I'm going out with pressure from the start. I feel very strong. I waited so long to get this opportunity and tomorrow I'll get this belt and bring it back home," said Rubio.
Although most of the fans in attendence were expressing their support for the champion, a small of group of fans were firmly behind the challenger.
