A quiet night takes a dangerous turn when Julian receives a frantic phone call from his best friend, Terry. Terry claims to have followed his unfaithful fiancée, June, to a seedy hotel on the other side of town. To make matters worse, he's staked out the room across the hall from her, a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a revolver in the other. Julian pleads with his friend to stay put while he rushes to avert disaster.

Romain Grosjean has denied that a lack of self-confidence held him back in the opening races of this season...
Romain Grosjean has denied that a lack of self-confidence held him back in the opening races of this season.
While team-mate Kimi Raikkonen got off to a flyer, winning the opening race in Australia and finishing on the podium two races later in China, Grosjean had to settle for the first three races.
That changed in Bahrain on Sunday when the Frenchman brought his E21 home in third place behind his Finnish team-mate.
It also put an end to reports that Grosjean was suffering from a lack of self-confidence, an opinion voiced by former four-time World Champion Alain Prost.
Asked about his compatriot's comments, Grosjean said: "I think that the fact that you're able to come back from a very difficult situation proves that I think he was wrong.
"I haven't seen him this year, I have a deep respect for what he did but I think it's easy to speak when you are not here."
He added: "We got a bit lost last year. Our struggle mid-season - Hockenheim, Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps - and then we came back.
"There is so much technology with those cars and it's true that Pirelli tyres are not easy to drive and every time we have a small problem somewhere it makes it worst but when you manage to get it right then it's OK.
"It was just something with the feeling of the car; when you're not confident with your car it's not self-confidence, it confidence in your car, there's nothing you can do."

Most Americans are a bunch of mindless zombies at work, poll says
Seventy percent of full-time Americans working stiffs have either mentally "checked out" at work or purposefully sabotage the company's productivity. Well, aren't we a bunch of sad saps?

Can we all agree that confining dogs in small cages for 20 to 23 hours a day, almost every day, is cruel?
True, this confinement doesn't meet legal definitions of cruelty, but, legal or not, most of us who love dogs know that this is wrong. Yet this is the way of life for the thousands of greyhounds who are forced to race in this country's greyhound industry.
Greyhound racing only occurs in seven states, with the majority of greyhound tracks located in Florida. This week, GREY2 USA, with funding from the ASPCA, released a report detailing the horrific conditions racing greyhounds are subject to in Florida. You can access a copy of the report here [PDF].
Racing greyhounds are in their cages nearly all the time. They are fed "4-D" meat, which means meat that comes from dying, diseased, disabled and dead livestock deemed unfit for human consumption. Their owners feed them this raw meat simply because it is the cheapest available, and they don't even bother to cook it to destroy the bacteria.
Florida does not require its greyhound racing facilities to report injuries to the public, but we have documentation of dogs with broken legs, backs and skulls; dogs who have died of seizures after racing; dogs who have died of heart attacks; and a dog who was electrocuted. Racing dogs have repeatedly tested positive for drugs such as cocaine.
While the dogs suffer every day as part of this industry, few people even seem to notice. Attendance at greyhound races has dramatically declined through the years, and tracks actually lose money on the dogs. But since Florida law won't permit dog track owners to continue gambling operations at those tracks unless those tracks hold dog races, the races continue.
Two bills (HB 641 and SB 382) are pending in Florida that would remove the requirement that dog tracks offer live greyhound racing in order to also offer card games or slots. If you live in Florida, please contact your legislators to ask them to support this legislation.

Alright so I have netflix and this was newly released, so I figured it should be worth it for the uncut footage, unfortunately it seems the only uncut footage i've seen up to this point is some type of daydream Deckard has about a unicorn.
The sound, and visual quality is awesome, the other versions i've seen were all "dark and dreary" but even at nighttime in this version the bright neon lights seem to capture the eyes and give them something to focus on in the gloom. The sound clearly is better than previous versions, and doesn't sound like they are talking in a tunnel.
So if you've seen it before you already know the story, and it is probably Haurers best role and certainly by his own admission is his best most enduring role ( Blade Runner was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant") and honestly it could be argued that it is one of Ford's finest.
So the question remains is Deckard a replicant? The added footage of the unicorn memory and the end of the film would suggest that he is, Harrison Ford said often that Deckard was human, and Scott said in the beginning that he was human only to change his mind later on.
So human or not, This version is worth seeing if you haven't seen this movie in a while or if you've never seen the director's cut. On the whole i'd have to give it 4.5/5 because i'm not a big fan of messing with a classic (Han shot first!!!).

He flew fighter planes his entire career, and as a wingman during the Korean War in 1952 and 1953, he flew 100 missions and extended his tour to perform 25 more.
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. William Earl Brown Jr. spent 34 years in the military, but his experiences as a young pilot in the Korean War left a lasting impression, he said in an interview with the Pentagon Channel.
In Korea, Brown said, he flew the F-86 Saber fighter jet, the first operational swept-wing aircraft in the Air Force inventory.
"Our mission was to prevent the MiGs from attacking the other aircraft. The MiG-15s were being flown by the Chinese communists and by active-duty Soviet fighter wings."
A typical mission took up to two hours. "If we were lucky, we'd run into the MiGs and manage to down a few of them," he added.
As a wingman, Brown flew with a more-experienced major or captain in the lead, many of whom had World War II experience. They flew in flights of four, in "fingertip" formation with a leader and a wingman, and an element leader and a wingman, he explained.
"The wingman's job was to look to the rear and protect the leader from any aircraft closing [in] to shoot him," Brown said. "And the second lieutenants were invariably assigned to the jobs as wingmen, while the captains and majors would shoot down the MiGs."
Brown said he was fortunate to fly with some good aviators in the Korean War.
"I'd been flying maybe 10 or 15 missions and never saw a MiG," he said, "Except one day, … I was No. 4 in a flight. A MiG-15 that was obviously flown by a guy who was superior to me in skill latched onto me."
The MiG was so close, Brown said, he could hear the sound of its guns firing. It had two 23 mm cannons in addition to a larger one, compared to the Americans' six machine guns – three on each side of the aircraft.
Brown said he is alive today because his element leader came in behind the MiG, and while it shot at Brown, the element leader poured bullets into the MiG and shot the aircraft down. "That encounter really got my attention," he said. "Up until that point, I had no real understanding of what it meant to have some guy really try to kill you."
Brown, an African-American, said he didn't face any discrimination during the Korean War.
"I never ran into the kinds of discriminatory practices that the Tuskegee airmen had to face when they began flying in the Air Force," he said. "One thing about flying in fighters [is] when you don the fighter pilot's helmet and don the oxygen mask and pull down the visor, no one can see what color you are. All they can see is how you position your aircraft. Is it where it should be? Do you drop the weapons? Do they strike the target?
"I guess I was fortunate," he said.

3M Scotch 908 ATG Gold Tape is an unsupported acrylic adhesive transfer film tape (pressure-sensitive adhesive pre-applied to a special release liner). It has an acid free/acid neutral (pH 7.0 - 8.5) acrylic adhesive and is photo safe in accordance with both Black and White Photographic Activity Tests and Color Photographic Activity Tests (per ANSI IT9.16). 3M 908 is used for general purpose applications for holding most paper, foil, film, metal, printed surfaces, glass and sealed wood including: matting and framing pictures, artwork and documents, memory and scrap books, general crafts, school projects. The main difference between 3M 908 and 3M 924 ATG tapes is that 908 is pH neutral (acid-neutral). Scotch 908 Gold, like all ATG tapes, is reverse wound on the roll so it is designed to be used in an ATG dispenser/gun.
Please see matrix below to confirm which ATG refill rolls work in which ATG dispensers (you can also watch a YouTube video demonstrating the compatibility between ATG refill rolls and ATG guns).
For a visual guide to loading and using refill rolls in a JVCC ATG1 dispenser please see http://www.findtape.com/inserts/ATG-Loading-Instructions.pdf.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

A message from SNAPDFWs facilitator, Lisa Kendzior
Acknowledge your courage
It takes courage to acknowledge that weve been abused and it is not easy to even admit it to ourselves. Just browsing this website is a big step.
Know that you are not alone!
If youve been victimized by clergy, please know that you are not alone. You can get better. You can reach out to others whove been hurt just like you have.
Together, we can heal one another.
Vatican, NYTimes exchange volleys on Ratzinger's involvement in pedophile transfer; victim concerns marginalizedOnce again, the Vatican seems oblivious to victims of Roman Catholic priest predators, opting instead to save face and insulate the pope from the controversy, as evidenced in this latest front page fencing between the Vatican spin doctors and the New York Times.

Internal church documents show that Ratzinger was copied on memo that transfered German pedophile priest
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future pope and archbishop in Munich at the time, was copied on a memo that informed him that a priest, whom he had approved sending to therapy in 1980 to overcome pedophilia, would be returned to pastoral work within days of beginning psychiatric treatment. The priest was later convicted of molesting boys in another parish. -- NYTimes Mar 26, 2010

SNAP President Barbara Blaine, SNAP Midwest director Peter Isely and 2 others were detained in Rome by police during a news conference in front of the Vatican today. Similar conferences were scheduled for several other cities for today.
"We've spent more time in the police station than Father Murphy did in his life," said Isely, Milwaukee-based midwest director of SNAP after his release.
Isley was referring to the American priest Lawrence Murphy -- whom the Vatican refused to defrock in spite of his being accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys in Wisconsin. The Vatican has strongly defended its position on the Murphy affair, prompting the SNAP demonstration.

According to a new New York Times story, a US pedophile priest reportedly abused between 150-200 deaf kids at a school over 24 years, often during confessions. Yet for years, a small Vatican bureaucracy headed by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now the Pope) fought three US bishops efforts to oust the predator, citing a fear of scandal.

SNAP Outreach director Barbara Dorris issued a statement for the survivors' advocacy group today commenting on the resignation of Irish bishop John Magee accused of covering up sexual abuse by priests.
"We hope that Magee's resignation will provide some relief and consolation for the thousands of deeply wounded abuse victims and hundreds of thousands of betrayed parishioners in Ireland," said Dorris in a statement issued today. "By itself, however, this resignation doesn't signify any fundamental change in the corrupt church hierarchy or hurtful church practices regarding predator priests, nuns, seminarians, bishops, brothers or other employees."
We hope this move will help those in pain realize that there is hope and that their suffering is validated. At the same time, we hope this move will not in any way diminish the pressure for more substantive, long-term reforms that are needed to protect the vulnerable and heal the wounded in the church. -- Barbara Dorris

We must keep in mind two facts. First, these numbers come from most of the same bishops who concealed and enabled clergy child sex crimes for decades. They are inherently suspect, to say the least.
Second, very few child victims are able to disclose the crimes as they happen, so there always has been and will be decades between the actual offense and the reporting of it.
"Were saddened, but not surprised that church officials still spend twice as much on predators as victims ($11 million vs. $6.5 million) and more than four times as much on their lawyers as on victims ($28 million vs. $6.5 million)." -- David Clohessy
Given these facts, there are two options. We can either be reckless, assuming that clergy sex crimes are somehow magically being reduced, or we can be prudent, assuming that clergy sex crimes are essentially happening at the same rate, or a higher rate, than before.
Caution, not complacency, is the responsible choice.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Catholic Church is being unfairly singled out for criticism of sexual abuse of children by priests and will not tolerate campaigns to discredit it, the powerful head of Italy's bishops said on Monday. ...
SNAP's David Clohessy Responds:
Catholic officials are the culprits here, not the victims. To suggest that hundreds of deeply wounded European men and women are somehow conspiring with unethical journalists hurts the very individuals the Pope says he cares about and who are acting responsibly.

Barbara Blaine and Barbara Dorris of SNAP, are in Munich for the day before heading to Vienna and Berlin. They placed several dozen photographs of children abused by priests at the front gate of the office of Archbishop Reinhard Marx, who heads the archdiocese of Munich and Freising.
No institution can effectively police or reform itself, especially not an ancient, rigid, secretive, all-male monarchy like the Catholic hierarchy with its deeply-rooted and long-standing practice of concealing clergy sex crimes, said Blaine, SNAPs founder and president, in a press release yesterday.
So its crucial that secular authorities promptly begin thorough investigations into the churchs on-going scandal, so that the truth can be revealed, the wrong-doers disciplined, the victims healed and the vulnerable protected.

"There is a broad and deep layer of corruption in the institution." -- Thomas Doyle, OP in NCR articleIn an article dated March 12, 2010 on the National Catholic Reporter Website, survivor advocate and Dominican canon lawyer Thomas Doyle says of the priest sex abuse scandal sweeping the globe:
"The crisis has made it very clear that the system we have had for centuries is incapable of leading the body of Christ to be a church. All it was capable of doing was defending itself."
The article goes on to say:
"Doyle wouldnt speculate on whether the spreading scandal would bring any substantial change, but he believes that the bishops have engaged in 'denial and blame-shifting' since the earliest days of the scandal and that now 'were seeing the unraveling of a Teflon cover that kept this under wraps. The cover is rapidly unraveling now and what is obvious is that there is a broad and deep layer of corruption in the institution.'"

But in Ratzinger's own fatherland there were expressions of disappointment that the letter made no reference to the German sex abuse issues, which have riveted media attention since January.
Pope says nothing about German abuse cases, the popular Bild daily headlined on its Web site. Pope silent on abuse in Germany, the weekly Der Spiegel's Web site headline read.
In an entry this morning on NCR Today Thomas C. Fox, on assignment in Munich during the crisis, reports that Germans are particularly discouraged and even insulted by the lack of leadership in this crisis coming from Rome.
I found it outrageous that none of the events in Germany got any mention in the letter, said Brigitte Beierlein, a 63-year-old teacher. For me the time has come to take personal responsibility and quit the church. I am going to finish my membership, even though I will leave with regrets.
The NCR report goes on to mention the infamous "secret letter" Ratzinger sent to bishops worldwide in 2001:
"For some German Catholic church observers, the papal letter (to Ireland) offered a test of whether the Vatican can stem a widening crisis that has shaken the authority of the church and has challenged the Vatican to end a secretive culture.
"While a cardinal at the Vatican, Ratzinger wrote a 2001 letter instructing bishops worldwide to report all cases of abuse to his office and keep church investigations secret under threat of excommunication."

Pope Benedict once again failed to acknowledge the systemic failures that have led to cover-ups and official silence, and once again failed to hold accountable the bishops who allowed institutional secrecy to override pastoral needs. -- VOTF Website March 22, 2010.
The US Roman Catholic group, Voice of the Faithful -- which has made many Catholic voices heard in response to the US clergy sexual abuse revelations -- is not being reticent in calling for the voice of the papacy to finally acknowledge its own, and the worldwide Roman hierarchy's role in protecting priest abusers and not victims of clerical sex abuse.
On the VOTF's website today, the group says, "(A)gainst a backdrop of growing revelations in Germany, The Netherlands and other European countries -- not to mention the roster of clergy sex-abuse revelations across the globe and stretching decades into the past -- Pope Benedict once again failed to acknowledge the systemic failures that have led to cover-ups and official silence."
VOTF is the voice of the Roman Catholic faithful, and SNAP and others are voices for the victims and survivors of this horrendous and diabolical scandal. But where is the voice of the perpetrators of cover-up, subterfuge and diversion? Where is the voice of the papacy in all this -- the voice of genuine leadership that accepts responsibility rather than pointing fingers of blame at subordinates?

Barbara Dorris is SNAP's National Outreach Director
Saturday, March 20, 2010
The most powerful religious figure on the planet speaks of "decisive action." But he refuses to take any.
In just one nation, tens of thousands of children have been sexually assaulted by trusted priests. Bishops concealed the crimes, sometimes for decades. But the Pope responds by promising to send a few of his staff there to visit some places and ask some questions.
While millions are in pain, the Pope can barely bring himself to admit that some bishops in one nation have made some unspecified "errors in judgment."
Here's the Vatican's essential message: Apparently not one wrongdoer will even get a papal 'slap on the hand.' Not one more predator will apparently be ousted. Not one more horrific secret cover up will apparently ever see the light of day. And not one victim will apparently see any tangible help whatsoever.
The bottom line: Across the globe, hundreds of thousands of girls and boys have been sexually violated by child molesting Catholic clergy. The man who could pay for therapy refuses.

NYTimes - March 19, 2010
David Clohessy is the national director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
Lord Actons observation that absolute power corrupts absolutely is the sad and simple lesson from the Catholic abuse and cover-up scandal now spreading across Europe.
Information about the crisis comes from three sources: church officials, researchers and experts, or from secular agencies with subpoena power (like grand juries in the U.S .and the government reports in Ireland). Only truly independent third party investigations are credible in these cases. And virtually every one of these investigations finds that church officials ignore or conceal horrific child sex crimes for one reason: because they can.
Law enforcement officials are at a disadvantage in holding corrupt bishops accountable. Why? Because the public generally defers to clerics. Read the full NYTimes article ...

A young man came by yesterday talking about his F250. Said it was in the shop but wanted me to weld his stacks back on when he got it out.
Seems he cut them off with a sawzall to let the exhaust vent out towards the sides of the truck and wants them put back on.
I haven't seen it so I don't know what the real deal is. But looking at photos online this looks like an under the truck job. I don't see how they can be removed for bench welding then reinstalled through the bed.
Maybe there is a 90 clamped at the bottom or something?
Anyway, I don't like the idea of trying purge that or tig welding over the top of a pipe against a floorboard. I recken its stainless.
Any F250 guys out there that can give advice?

You'll just have to look at it & decide. Everyone is different depending on who installed it. Lots of home installs by me are butchered. It could be chrome plated steel also. Maybe use a band clamp, tighten & then tack the clamp to each pc. so it can't rotate?
Or buy a sleeve & weld it on to one side so it slips over the other & then clamp it?MM250

Explain to him that kind of work is best done by experts. In this case it would be muffler shops.
Chances are the reason he asked you is he thinks you will be cheaper than the muffler shop. Dumb mistake on his part, right?
He was a friend of my GF's son several years ago when her son lived with us.
So yea, maybe looking for a deal. He might get a deal if its chrome plated steel and I can whip out the 211 on it.
Been wanting to run that machine again. It has only seen 4 jobs in the 6 months I've had it not counting my projects.
Like MMW states, just have to wait and see I guess and the sleeve will probably be needed due to the way it was cut off.

F250 Stacks
I am interested as to why he removed the stacks in the first place. I have stacks on my F350 that I installed years ago. I bought a kit on the Internet but can't remember the site. Mine consists of a offset y pipe that bolts to the bed and the exhaust enters from passenger side through bed. I had to extend the 4" pipe and install a included flex connection to the y pipe. The stacks slip on the y and get clamped them anchored to the sides of the bed. If you get a chance post some pictures. Let us know what happens.

I have no idea why he would cut off the stacks and its been a week and I have not heard back from him. Go figure. Then again I put huge azz mud tires on the back of my moms 72 Chevy.
Seems like people like to ask about work and doing things but they don't show up.

It happens & you just learn to ignore it. You learn to "read" people & get a feel if you should even bother calling them back. Of course if you have nothing else to do that's one thing but if your working steady then it doesn't hurt if you lose a job now & then.MM250

Students around the world are designing and distributing products for developing countries. Here are some of their recent innovations:
A Neonatal Incubator From Car Parts
Problem: More than 4 million babies, mostly from the world's poorest regions, die within a month of birth every year, and many of these deaths could have been prevented had a working incubator been available. Most developing countries lack access to high-tech medical devices, and a lack of infrastructure makes them difficult to maintain when they do exist.
Solution: Over the course of several years, Rhode Island School of Design students at the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovation Technology helped create a low- cost solution so effective it was named one of Time magazine's 50 Best Inventions of 2010. Tom Weis, Mike Hahn and Adam Geremia were among the RISD students who built the prototype for the incubator designed with used car parts. The durable, low- cost, neonatal incubator has easy upkeep, so it can be repaired in the regions of the world where it's most needed.
This story is part of ABC News' "Be the Change: Save a Life" initiative, a year-long series of broadcast and digital coverage focusing on global health issues. Watch the kickoff on a special-edition of "20/20" tonight at 10 p.m. ET.

Better Cooking Stoves
Problem: More than 3 billion people use open fires for cooking. The fumes produced by this method kill an estimated 1.9 million people a year, according to the United Nations.
Solution: Paul Montgomery, a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, is helping design a better cook stove for people in developing countries. Montgomery's device, still at the experimental stage, captures some of the stove's waste heat and converts the heat into sound waves in a simple thermo-acoustic engine. Then the acoustic energy is converted into a tiny bit of electricity in an electro-acoustic transducer. The electricity in turn can partly charge a battery (delivering well-needed lighting after dark) and operate a fan directed at the combustion of the stove's biofuel, making the whole process more energy-efficient. The more-efficient the combustion, the less biomass is burned during cooking, which produces fewer fumes, making it safer and healthier.
Water Transport
Problem: More than 1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. According to the United Nations, the average person should consume at least 5 gallons of water each day, or 44 pounds. The task of water collection often falls to women and young girls, who carry the water on their heads and often miss school in the daily search for water.

Haven, forten en monumenten van Cartagena
Cartagena ligt in een baai in de Caribische Zee en was een van de drie belangrijkste havens in West-Indië. Het is een goed voorbeeld van militaire architectuur uit de 16e tot de 18e eeuw; het heeft de meest uitgebreide en meest complete vestingwerken in Zuid-Amerika. Een zonesysteem verdeelt de stad in drie wijken: San Pedro, met de kathedraal en vele paleizen in de Andalusische stijl, San Diego, waar kooplieden en de middenklasse woonden en Gethsemani, de 'populaire wijk'. De oude stad van Cartagena heeft z'n koloniale charme behouden, waaronder smalle straatjes geflankeerd door mooie binnendeuren en uitstekende balkons.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief Synthesis
Situated on the northern coast of Colombia on a sheltered bay facing the Caribbean Sea, the city of Cartagena de Indias boasts the most extensive and one of the most complete systems of military fortifications in South America. Due to the city's strategic location, this eminent example of the military architecture of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries was also one of the most important ports of the Caribbean. The port of Cartagena – together with Havana and San Juan, Puerto Rico – was an essential link in the route of the West Indies and thus an important chapter in the history of world exploration and the great commercial maritime routes. On the narrow streets of the colonial walled city can be found civil, religious and residential monuments of beauty and consequence.
Cartagena was for several centuries a focal point of confrontation among the principal European powers vying for control of the "New World." Defensive fortifications were built by the Spanish in 1586 and were strengthened and extended to their current dimensions in the 18th century, taking full advantage of the natural defences offered by the numerous bayside channels and passes. The initial system of fortifications included the urban enclosure wall, the bastioned harbour of San Matías at the entry to the pass of Bocagrande, and the tower of San Felipe del Boquerón. All of the harbour's natural passes were eventually dominated by fortresses: San Luis and San José, San Fernando, San Rafael and Santa Bárbara at Bocachica (the southwest pass); Santa Cruz, San Juan de Manzanillo and San Sebastián de Pastelillo around the interior of the bay; and the formidable Castillo San Felipe de Barajas on the rocky crag that dominates the city to the east and protects access to the isthmus of Cabrero. Within the protective security of the city's defensive walls are the historic centre's three neighbourhoods: Centro, the location of the Cathedral of Cartagena, the Convent of San Pedro Claver, the Palace of the Inquisition, the Government Palace and many fine residences of the wealthy; San Diego (or Santo Toribio), where merchants and craftsmen of the middle class lived; and Getsemaní, the suburban quarter once inhabited by the artisans and slaves who fuelled much of the economic activity of the city.
Criterion (iv) Cartagena is an eminent example of the military architecture of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, the most extensive of the New World and one of the most complete.
Criterion (vi) Cartagena, together with Havana and San Juan, Puerto Rico (already inscribed in the World Heritage List), was an essential link in the route of the West Indies. The property fits within the general theme of world exploration and the great commercial maritime routes.
Within the boundaries of the Port, Fortresses and Group of Monuments, Cartagena, are located all the buildings, structures and spaces necessary to express its Outstanding Universal Value. The 192.32-ha property is of sufficient size to adequately ensure the complete representation of the features and processes that convey the property's significance, and it does not suffer from adverse effects of development and/or neglect.
The components that make up the Port, Fortifications and Group of Monuments, Cartagena, are authentic in terms of location and setting, forms and designs, and materials and substance. The property constitutes an exceptional example of Spanish military architecture of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and the existing fortification works remain authentic examples of some of the most important military engineers of this period, including Juan Bautista (Giovanni Battista) Antonelli, Juan de Herrera y Sotomayor, Antonio de Arévalo, Ignacio Sala and Juan Bautista MacEvan.
Several changes have occurred over time to the port and monuments of this living city and its surroundings, especially related to development and increasing tourism. Renovation and infrastructure projects have been developed or are in the process of development in the city, among them a new urban transportation system known as "Transcaribe." These changes have the potential to threaten the property's authenticity. Changes in uses because of the impact of tourism could also have a negative impact on the authenticity of functions and of the spirit of the place. Dredging works in Bocachica channel constitute a risk factor for the fortifications.
Protection and management requirements
The ownership of the Port, Fortresses and Group of Monuments, Cartagena, is shared among private individuals, institutions, the Roman Catholic Church and national and local government authorities. The historic centre was declared a National Monument under the provisions of Law No. 163 of 1959. Other legal instruments for the protection of the property include Law No. 32 of 1924 (conservation and enhancement of the monuments of Cartagena); Law No. 11 of 1932 (Commission on Historic Monuments and Tourism); Law No. 5 of 1940 (Law on National Monuments); Law No. 49 of 1945; Decree 264 of 1963 (which regulates Law No. 163 of 1959); Law No. 397 of 1999 (General Law on Culture); and Law No. 1185 of 2008 (interventions require prior authorization of the Ministry of Culture). At the local level, Decree 977 of 2001 approved the Plan of Territorial Management (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial, POT), which has a section dedicated to the historic centre. Organizations concerned with the management of the property include, at the national level, the Ministry of Culture, the Direction of Heritage, the Group on Protection of Properties of Cultural Interest, and the National Monuments Council; and, at the local level, the Secretary of Planning (District Government of Cartagena), the Institute on Heritage and Culture of Cartagena (IPCC), the Society on Public Improvement, and the Corporation of the Historic Centre of Cartagena. At the local level there is a certain overlapping of functions between official and non-governmental agencies, which sometimes results in a rather complicated system of management. There is a 304.09-ha buffer zone ("Zone of Influence").
Sustaining the Outstanding Universal Value of the property over time will require completing, approving, adopting and implementing the Special Protection and Management Plan (PEMP) of Cartagena's Historic Centre; completing the delimitation of all elements of the fortification system; undertaking the identified priority measures for the conservation of the ensemble of walls and the fortified city; defining and implementing a systematic plan of interventions and monitoring for the defensive walls and neighbouring fortifications; giving the unique natural setting of the bay of Cartagena the best protection possible, and creating a broad area where ordinances would limit the height of contemporary construction; strengthening residential and tourist-related activities, changing inappropriate use in buildings and developing strategic projects in the historic centre and its "Zone of Influence;" and ensuring that interventions, including those related to the Bocachica channel dredging and "Transcaribe" projects, do not compromise the Outstanding Universal Value, authenticity and integrity of the property. A clarification of missions and functions and a more articulated work among the diverse social actors (official and non-governmental groups) would be desirable, to enhance the dialogue and common work among them.
Long Description
Cartagena, together with La Habana and San Juan de Puerto Rico, was one of the three most important ports in the West Indies. It is an outstanding example of the military architecture of the 16th-18th centuries - the most extensive in the New World and one of the most complete.
On 1 June 1533 the Madrileño Don Pedro de Heredia founded Cartagena de Indias on a tiny coastal archipelago in the Caribbean. Located in the Gulf of Darien, 100 km west of the mouth of the Rio Magdalena, Cartagena used the advantages both of its position and of its site: a narrow band of land cut off from the continent by a succession of bays offering good anchorage and by narrow channels which constituted an excellent natural defence. A century later, this was where all the stolen treasures from the Indians of New Granada were stored before being moved to Spain. Cartagena grew rich on palaces, gardens, convents and churches, adopting the Catalan and Andalusian styles.
In 1586, the most famous military engineer of the Crown of Spain, Bautista Antonelli, was charged with the fortification of the city. His work, finally completed in the 17th century, made Cartagena an impregnable stronghold, which successfully resisted the attacks of Baron Pontis until 1697. In the 18th century, new additions gave the fortified ensemble its present spaciousness. The initial system of fortification included only the urban enclosure, the bastioned harbour of San Matias at the entry to the pass of Bocagrande, and the tower of San Felipe del Boqueron which controlled the Bahia de las Animas. Little by little, all of the passes were dominated by forts: San Luis, San José and San Fernando in Bocachica, San Rafael and Santa Barbara in Pochachica (the south-west pass); Santa Cruz, San Juan de Manzanillo and San Sebasi de Pastellilo around the interior Bahia; San Felipe de Barajas, on the rocky crag which dominated the city to the east and protected the access to the isthmus of Cebrero. The fortifications of San Felipe de Barajas protected Cartagena during numerous sieges, giving the city its unconquerable character and reputation. They are described as the masterpiece of Spanish military engineering in America.
Within the shelter of the formidable defences, the city continued to grow. The plan, characteristic of colonial foundations of the 16th century, illustrates a rigorous zoning system, divided into three quarters corresponding to the major social categories: San Pedro, San Diego and Gethsemani.
The old city conserves all the enchantment of the colonial period, with its narrow streets flanked by beautiful inner doors and projecting balconies. Entry by the Puerta del Reloj, the main entrance of the walled enclosure, gives access to the Plaza de los Coches, where long ago the slave market was held. The quarter of San Pedro, where the nobles and the notables resided, still preserves monuments of high quality such as the cathedral (1575-1612), the church and convent of San Pedro Claver, the church of Santo Domingo, and the building that once was the monastery of San Diego. In the Palace of the Inquisition, a beautiful structure with a magnificent inner door in Baroque style, the Court of the Holy Office carried out its functions, judging witchcraft and heretical cases. Today it houses a historical and archaeological museum; the Palace of the Government, and the home of Marquia de Valdehoyos.
The quarter of San Diego, to the north-east, was where the merchants and middle-class craftsmen resided; to the south-west, on a small island which slowly became attached to the mainland, was Gethsemani, the popular quarter. In the north sector of the walled city is the Plaza de los Coches, under whose arches ammunition and military equipments were stored and where troops were stationed during the colonial period. Outside the perimeters of the walls the Monasterio de la Popa, built on the summit of a hill that dominates the whole city.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

A T4 test measures the blood level of the hormone T4, also known as thyroxine, which is produced by the thyroid gland and helps control metabolism and growth. The T4 test is performed as part of an evaluation of thyroid function.
Two blood tests may be performed as part of a T4 test:
Doctors may order the T4 test if symptoms suggest any kind of thyroid disorder. For example, an an overactive thyroid, called hyperthyroidism, is typically associated with weight loss, a fast heart rate, and sweating.
An underactive thyroid, called hypothyroidism, may cause symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, and feeling cold. Newborns are routinely screened for hypothyroidism, which can cause mental disabilities if left untreated.
No special preparations are needed for this test. However, certain medications, including seizure medication, cardiac drugs, steroids, birth control pills, and even aspirin can affect the results, so it's important to tell the doctor about any medication your child is taking.
On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a short-sleeve shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will draw the blood.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein. For an infant, the blood may be obtained by puncturing the heel with a small needle (lancet). If the blood is being drawn from a vein, the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the veins to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Either method (heel or vein withdrawal) of collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a few days.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine. The results are usually available after a few hours or the next day.
In general, high T4 results may indicate hyperthyroidism and low T4 results may indicate hypothyroidism. However, in order for doctors to diagnose the specific type of thyroid problem, a more complete picture is obtained by performing the T4 test with other thyroid tests, such as those that measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3 (triiodothyronine), and thyroid antibodies.
The T4 test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the T4 test, contact your doctor.

Dim Sum at Dragon Dynasty - Could be some of GTA's best!
This is my second effort in posting this review since my wife accidentally deleted my first draft!!! Sigh!!
Second week in a row, I spend part of the weekend trying out some of the better Dim Sum in the GTA. Last week was an early-bird gathering of chowfriends at Yang's whilst this week was a family affair at Dragon Dynasty.
For those of you who have not been, this restaurant is one of those rare breed that still retains the traditional 'cart service' augmented by 'special dishes' menu sheets. BTW, they have eliminated their phone reservation service for Dim Sum luncheon. So, its first come first serve basis! Arriving at 11.20 am, our wait time was 45 minutes. Reasonable, considering its an ultra-busy Good Friday weekend!
From the Cart Service, we ordered:
- Har Gow
- Steamed Chicken Feet and peanuts in house special sauce
- Braised beef innards and tripe with turnips
- Crispy seafood salad rolls
- Coconut and red beans pudding
- Egg custard tarts
- Molten egg yolk custard buns
- Fluffy 'Ma Lai' sponge cakes
From the Special menu, we ordered:
- Stirred fry rice roll 'Cheung Fun' with dried shrimp and scallions. Hoi sin and Sesame sauce accompaniment
- Fried Glutinous rice with eggs, dried shrimps and diced Chinese preserved meats and sausages.
- Stirred fry clams with black bean sauce.
First off, I am pleased to say that I have finally encountered Har Gow in Toronto that is worthy of praise! Taut and ultra-thin skin, the sweet and fresh tasting prawn filling was crunchy and juicy. IMHO, better than what Yang's, Casa's, Brilliant, Regal16..... have to offer!
Next on my praise list was the Fried glutinous rice. Super tasty and generous in the key ingredients, this huge portion at only $7.50 was excellent value for money!
Almost all of our ordered dishes were deliciously prepared especially the desserts. The hot, silky smooth egg custard tarts were better than most .
Though lacking in artful plate presentation, however, this deficiency was more than compensated by the taste! All in all a most enjoyable experience!
Lastly, this was also the first time I noticed someone bringing a bottle of red wine to a Dim Sum luncheon!! IMO, I doubt the pairing would work! Not when that patron ordered lobster noodle and shrimp dumplings!!
BRAVO, Charles!
Like you, I've been jazzed by this place for ages, only to be mocked by those who insist that cart-service means poor food (it works when the place is this big and this busy) and those who judge food more by presentation than by quality & flavour.
Personally, taste & service wins the day for me, not clever dumpling shapess or martini-glass presentation. In fact, I go to DD often enough that I think I'm the only non-asian that gets the preferential seating treatment and a chorus of Good-Mornings. (I also try to order all in chinese, which delights the cart-ladies to no end :-)) You may see me there on any given weekend - I'm the big-guy with the young attractive woman.
To add to your list of dishes-to-order for the newcomers, they also make superior Siu Mai, ANYTHING with the rice-flour wrap like scallop & pea-shoots or shrimp & greens, Ham Sui Gok, Char Siu Sou flakey baked pastry with sweet bbq pork inside, Beef Cheung Fan rolls, Steamed Beef Balls (ask for hot mustard for dipping!), Min Fa Guy (steamed chunks of chicken with ginger), the clay-pot baked rice (eating the crunchy rice that sticks to the bottom is a treat!) and so many others! And my lady LOVES the Mango pudding :-)
I'm a Dragon Dynasty fan, love the food, love the service, love the delightful cart ladies!
re: TorontoTips
Love the cart ladies too! Super friendly! Gave me super size portion of the beef innards and an advise to eat the first few pieces quickly so that the supervisor will not complain about her generosity!!
I too heard the 'Ham Sui Gok' was one of the best in town. Unfortunately, they wasn't around whilst we were there??!! Sigh!!
BTW, saw plenty of young attractive women but no big-guy!! Ha!!
re: Charles Yu
Another mouthwatering dim sum review - thanks Charles! I have a question about the ham sui gok - was it not around when you were there because it was already sold out by noon? Or not part of the regular dim sum rotation? It's one of our favourites - I can't imagine a dim sum meal without it.
re: TorontoTips
Dragon Dynasty has been one of the better dim sum options in Scarborough and the GTA for decades. Lots of variety and consistent above average quality, although the service can be quite spotty. Probably the only business that keeps that mini-mall at Brimley and Huntingwood alive although the bakery also has its fans. I've never associated carts with quality or the lack of...not in Toronto anyways....can't speak for other cities or countries. I think most CH'ers are aware that DD belongs to the same ownership group that runs that bakery as well as Big Mouth Kee in Richmond Hill and Grand Chinese near the airport.
re: T Long
Sure there is often a line-up to contend with during prime weekend lunch-hours, but the great service is one of the reasons I first made DD my Dim-Sum home.
The Black Suits are the Managers, and look after complimentary tea, special orders, payment, etc. The white shirts are the waiters who can help with everything, The gold tops are the busboys who are fanatical about clearing empty steamers and dirty plates, and the cart ladies, of course who are fantastic!
Honestly, I am always impressed with the service there, better than many "full service" places I've dined at in Markham, by far.
re: TorontoTips
My recollection from a number of visits is having to chase down someone to refill the tea...not a hallmark of attentive service. Perhaps it varies from person to person, time to time, but that's my lasting impression. We all have our comfort zones. I still view DD as a good place to have dim sum...just not my go-to.
re: T Long
i'll have to agree with T Long on the service...
and each time i've gone .. i've suffered the perils of cart service due to table location and its a pretty big venue so the 'popular' items never get to me and i tend to see the same 4 carts with the same items going around .. but again this can be due to table location. ....food was good though.. i particularly liked the 'crisp' rice at the bottom of the clay pot rice dishes.. its a very nice rustic traditional flair
re: T Long
The only 'down side' I find about cart service is that one can 'wait forever' for desired items to come out of the kitchen and they might never show up!
Ordering by menu usually ensures timely delivery and availability!
eg., We ate there for 2 hours and waited all that time for the Ham Sui Gok. But they never showed! In places like Yang's I can always place an order through the order sheet!
re: Charles Yu
Exactly...and what's can be even more frustrating is seeing some regulars jumping the "queue" and grabbing popular items before the cart even gets to their table. (I'm assuming they are regulars because they seem to know the lay of the land.)
re: T Long
Always prefer ordering from sheet since we think it,s steamed to order and piping hot. That matters more to us thananything else. By the time the cart rolls around, it may have been roaming the big dining room for 15 minutes plus.
re: caitlink
Thanks Charles, actually have never been here before. However I have been to the food court...the vietnamese stall actually has very good bun bo hue!
re: T Long
They might be regulars, but they're also rude.
re: T Long
I'm sure you must be remembering another spot - personally, I've never seen ANY place with more bussers, servers, and managers on one restaurant floor and my guests always comment on how empty steamers are snatched-up before they even hit the table, and how the constant swarm of staff so effortlessly multi-tasks, picking up your teapot while dropping-off another's change, etc.
Tea - Just remove the teapot lid, and it's scooped-up literally within seconds by the next person in the endless parade of staffers going back-and forth, plus there's often one person roaming with a big steel kettle topping up teapots.
Regarding the cart service, some folks just don't like it, fair enough, but I like the flow of a cart-service meal. If you're there at primetime, nothing on any of the carts lasts more than a few minutes before it's all snapped-up, and if it's slower, and you're even marginally attentive, you can select an item the first time it passes steaming-hot from the kitchen, when the cart is full. Never had the slightest issue with freshness, in fact the hardest part is waiting for the dumplings to cool enough to eat... yes I admit, I've had many a mouth-burn impatiently scarfing down a siu-mai :-).
We always "go with the flow" anticipating and sampling whatever flows-by from the carts for the first part of the meal, often trying something new, or that might not have caught our attention until we saw it, THEN we order off the sheets to "backfill" the items that we really want but haven't come by yet - truly, best of both worlds. :-)
re: TorontoTips
I'm going to DD this weekend. I'll report back to let the Board know whether I receive preferential seating treatment and a chorus of Good Mornings. :-)
re: Charles Yu
Somehow, sitting close to the washroom doesn't sound that appealing... :)
re: TorontoJo
No table there. Just a place where regulars without a table congregate
re: Charles Yu
Yep, that's where I'll be standing! :-)
re: T Long
Hi T Long,
We enjoyed our dim sum. We ordered 20+ dishes. Pig's blood, mixed beef parts including lung, chicken feet, ham sui gok, taro puff, dan tart, har gow, siu mai, char siu cheung fun, fried sticky rice, tapioca/egg custard/lotus bean paste (I think- please correct me if I'm wrong about the type of paste) pudding, sausage bao, char siu bao, some sort of aromatic tripe (sweetie can post the name for this, is she likes ;-) ), beef ribs, beef balls, curried cuttlefish, stir-fried rice flour roll/cheung fun, bbq pork puff, lo bak go, shrimp paste stuffed tofu, shrimp paste stuffed eggplant, and some tie guan yin.
The har gow were amongst the best I've found (good texture to both the wrapper and the shrimp inside), and the char siu bao was a tasty version, with plenty of bbq pork. I really liked the fried sticky rice (mentioned by Charles in the original post), the stir-fried rice roll (also mentioned already by Charles in the original post) and tapioca/egg custard/lotus bean paste pudding.
Our feast for 7 came to $106, and there were quite a few leftovers. I'd go back if I wanted dim sum with carts, but overall, I found I liked the dim sum at Yang's better. Of course, that's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, since Yang's is an upscale restaurant compared to Dragon Dynasty, which is more of a moderate restaurant. Yang's usually runs around $20-$25/ person in my experience, with my typical order, and this meal with more dishes cost only $17/person, so I can see this is a good choice if you go for dim sum frequently. I only go for dim sum every couple months, so I guess I'd rather splurge at Yang's! I also like having my own personal pair of "serving chopsticks" at Yang's, in addition to my "eating chopsticks". At Dragon Dynasty, our table shared 2 pairs of "serving chopsticks". I guess I've gotten spoiled!
For what it's worth, I was not greeted with a chorus of good mornings. We lucked out with a great, and possibly even a preferential table on the main path, even though most of us were newbies. I didn't end up having to jump any queues, since we arrived at 10:26 am before any queues started! Ha! ;-)
Service was friendly, and I didn't notice any service issues. I didn't notice any regulars grabbing dishes off carts before the carts got to the regulars' table, but my back was turned to most of the dining room, so it might have been happening behind my back. There was a near collision of carts near our table, but no one was hurt, and none of the dim sum was damaged. ;-)
By the way, if you want to try the fried sticky rice, they don't start serving it until 11 am on Saturdays.
re: prima
I was also there today, just for 2 people.
Our bill ran to $64 with tip, with quite a bit leftover to take home. The food would probably have been adequate for about 2.6 people. I always wonder how people get out with such low restaurant bills on chowhound. I guess I am a pig as I always over-order anywhere I go. I think its an asian thing.
Enjoyed it, but didn't really think it was the best thing ever.
-Steamed rice rolls were very good. Silky and smooth, I was impressed with it.
-I was just kind of "meh" on the siu mai. First one they gave us was all sloppy and we swapped it for a different basket (the girlfriend is pretty picky with that stuff). I just didn't really feel it was much different from any other siu mai. Maybe mine had been sitting int he cart for a while? or maybe I just don't appreciate siu mai much, as I've never really had anything that blew my mind.
-The molten egg yolk thing is one of my favourite things ever, though the one I had today was one of the least impressive versions I've had, but I guess I have only had it like 3 or 4 times. I was disappointed in that, but still happy to see it on the menu as its fairly rare in my experience.
-Order xiao long bao as well, and it was not good. It was still tasty, but the wrap was very thick and chewy. No finely sliced ginger accompaniment.
- Another of my favourite things to order is the deep fried "dumpling" with minced pork inside. I would say it was very poor, however it was was cold so again maybe it was sitting out for a while for some reason (we were there at 11)?
- Pineapple buns were good.
-had a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember
I didn't read the OP carefully otehrwise I would have tried the fried rice cheung fun which sound cool.
re: szw
I didn't try the siu mai- not my favourite, so I usually avoid eating it to leave room for other dishes. The siu mai in the steamer basket on our table didn't look appetizing to me. Not sure if our cheung fun/steamed rice rolls got pushed around the room 2 times, or whether they were a batch that got steamed too long- they were kind of mushy/sticky, and not as good as most cheung fun I've ordered around town. Guess that dish can be variable throughout the day, depending on the circumstances. Glad your version was very good.
re: prima
I did try our siu mai, they were average, bigger and tougher than I generally like them. Highlights for me were the pan-fried cheung fun and fried sticky rice. Char siu bao was good. The dan tart with the cookie crust was horrible. Overly sweet filling and tough dry crust. Service was good.
re: szw
szw, have you been to Northern Dumpling Kitchen for xiao long bao? I haven't had XLB in a ton of restaurants, but I do think that theirs is really excellent. The filling may be a bit low on ginger for some people's taste, but it's just the way I like it, and the amount of soup is impressive.
re: prima
I *loved* the fried sticky rice -- it's one of my favourite dishes at Grand, so it was nice to see that it was just as good at Dragon Dynasty. I was a piggy and claimed the leftovers for myself.
Other favourites for me were the pan fried rice roll (great texture - I really like this), the har gow (very tasty filling) the deep fried minced shrimp dumplings (nicely fried, good wrap, "juicy" filling) and the stuffed tofu.
It was a tasty, leisurely meal. I think we were there for over 2 hours. The price point can't be beat. However, like prima, I preferred Yang's for everything. The pastries at Yang's were significantly better, the char siu was tastier and everything was hotter.
We were definitely lucky to be seated at a good table. The carts didn't feel picked over by the time they got to us. But the experience does remind me why I prefer menu ordering over cart ordering. So while I enjoyed my meal and thought it was great value, I still think I would go back to Yang's before Dragon Dynasty.
But I must say that the best part of the day was continuing the food crawl with a delicious stop at Northern Dumpling Kitchen for 4 types of yummy dumplings, stir fried pea shoots, green onion pancakes, and stir fried rice cake w/preserved veggies and pork (yes, that's right, we had an entire second meal on the heels of Dragon Dynasty). Then on to Ruelo for some tasty macarons -- still my favourite in the city, though there is inconsistency in texture from batch to batch. And finally, a stop at Lucullus to pick up a bunch of wonderful buns and egg tarts. Everything was so fresh and smelled so good, that I couldn't help but snarf down a bbq pork bun, despite the fact that I was stuffed to the gills.
re: TorontoJo
I agree the sticky rice at Dragon Dynasty was very good. The best version I have had at a dim sum place.
re: prima
overall it was fine, but i wouldn't make an effort to return.
chicken feet were a touch too sweet, a little too white peppery and not enough any other seasoning which made them out of balance and a bit bland. the fried rice roll, while tender is better had at home where i can get a really great crust on it. the cheung fun was sad, very sad. the stir fried sticky rice was intensely salty, but i know that was due in part to grabbing a slice of the lap cheung. i'm not sure why they did the beef balls with peas, it wasn't a better combination than tofu sheets.
the haw gow was very well constructed, i would personally enjoy it with more garlic and spices. i liked the tapioca, custard and yam something paste dessert... tapioca was cooked well and it had a mild level of sweetness - great! the tripe in ginger was pretty good, well prepared and good gingery salty flavour... a lot of places seem to be giving this dish less care these days.
overall, i think we got a good steady flow of food.
re: prima
Hi Prima: Thanks to you and the others that self-identified as your dining companions for a rather thorough and stellar description of your common lunch. Perhaps the remaining 2 will post to give it 100% coverage! Glad you guys had no service issues which has been my main complaint about the Dragon Dynasty. Perhaps they beef up the number of staff during the week-ends compared to my normal week-day visits. I think the funny and annoying spectacle of patrons grabbing stuff from the carts before it reaches their tables only happens with a perfect storm of insufficient supply of the good stuff and particularly obnoxious patrons....they have no shame! I agree with your assessments that Yang's is better but with the qualification that one pays for the difference. I keep places like Yang's and LWH in mind for splurges too, but in my case the splurging has been very infrequent...like in many years. Toronto has a very good supply of less high end, but more than adequate (for me) places to enjoy my dim sum. Btw, are you referring to Iron Buddha Tea by "tie guan yin". Cheers!
re: T Long
Yes, I'm referring to Iron Buddha (aka Iron Goddess aka Goddess of Mercy). When I tried ordering Iron Buddha at Dynasty on Yorkville last summer, the host didn't know what I was talking about. My Anglophone pronounciation of tie guan yin gets me the right tea faster than Iron Buddha!
re: prima
I do agree that Yang's is better over all, but you do pay for it!
- Loved the fried sticky rice. That was my favourite dish of dim sum. Worth returning for.
- The siu mai tasted okay, but it looked terrible - not at all presentable. Not worth ordering.
- Har gow was decent
- Pastry on various items was very meh
- Pan fried rice roll was also a favourite.
- Dan tat had cookie crust - which means I didn't eat it (I also knew that we were going to Lucullus, sooo...).
Quite a delicious afternoon! No photos - for once! XD
re: prima
Had an AWESOME time on Saturday at Dragon Dynasty along with the Northern Dumplings/Ruelo/Lucullus crawl. It was my first time having Dim Sum since having moved to TO (and since i was a kid, I think!). Overall, was really impressed though it sounds like Yang's wins out in the head to head battle (will have to try it out soon).
My favorites were the sticky fried rice (been craving Chinese sausage!), and the char sui bao was exactly what I wanted (again, been on a steamed char sui bao bun since I moved here). I can't attest to the fish/seafood dishes we ordered as I don't eat seafood but everything looked good. cheung fun was also really nice and I just picked the shrimp pieces out of it. Heehee.
Service seemed good; carts rolled around fairly quickly and we had quite the spread.
And at $17/person, I thought it was really cheap. A good re-introduction to dim sum and a lot of fun - solid but with fantastic company! But now dying to try Yang's and LWH.
re: balthazar
Thanks for the tip on Dragon Dynasty. Had dim sum lunch there last week on our way to the airport. Everything was good and we got some buns to go at Aromaz to take on the plane. Have been hoping for a dim sum place in the east end near the 401 ever since the demise of Ruby. We don't get back to Toronto often so haven't the chance to explore and experiment. Again, appreciate the info and happy to know that we have a go-to place.
I am going to have to go back to Yang's and give it another try! My personal experience was 100% the opposite of that mentioned above.
Yang's was indeed much more expensive, but I was really undewhelmed and enjoyed almost every dish better at Dragon Dynasty, especially the siu mai and har gow, which I haven't personally found any better in T.O. I'm also addicted to their min fa guy ginger chicken, baked rice pots, ham sui gok, and the rice-noodle rolls, of course.
I will definitely have to re-try Yang's and report back :-)
re: Teep
Regal is just around the corner from the Dragon Dynasty. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/690316 I've not been in a while, but my wife's friends go all the time... It's more of a value option than Dynasty would be. Very Fair Seafood is near Kennedy and Finch, but I don't have first hand experience. Not certain they will be any easier to get into tomorrow though.
re: T Long
T Long...sorry I I missed this in your other posts, but what's your choice for Dim Sum in Scarborough?
re: grandgourmand
Hi grandgourmand: My current personal choice in Scarborough is Sam Woo Seafood. For me it has the best combination of consistent food quality, pricing, service and venue comfort. However, it is not perfect and my biggest complaints about SWS is that their selection is not that extensive and their washrooms could be better maintained. I would consider the Dragon Dynasty and Casa Imperial to be pricier and higher quality dim sum restaurants and the two "best" in Scarborough. As mentioned elsewhere, recently I've been going regularly to the Landmark (at Vic Park and McNicholl...in the old Elegantview place) with a dim sum group who like the day-long low, low prices (no early-bird pricing here). For what it's worth, the food quality last week was pretty good (like the company) and we were stuffed. (and my share of the bill was $6.50..tax & tips included). Like someone at the table said: "try eating at McDonald's for that amount". Apologies for the elongated reply to your simple question, but a dim sum experience for me is not always just about the food.
re: T Long
No apologies necessary. I appreciate the thorough response.
I'll give Sam Woo a try one of these days. Thanks.

A crash involving a fuel tanker shut down U.S. 301 in Waldorf for a little more than two hours Thursday night.
Maryland State Police reported that at 6:27 p.m. March 28, a passenger vehicle driven by Aaron Michael Butler, 21, was headed south on 301 at Vernon Road when it hit the back of a fuel tanker, causing the vehicle to go underneath the tanker.
The Maryland Department of Environment hazmat unit determined the tanker was not leaking and it was safe to remove the car without further damaging the tanker. The tanker was moved to a vacant parking lot, where it was inspected by MSP's Commercial Motor Vehicle Division, which reported it safe to drive.
The driver of the tanker, George Nathanial Dorsey Sr., 61, was not injured. Butler was transported to Civista Medical Center in La Plata with minor injuries, police said.
Both the northbound and southbound lanes of 301 were closed for two and a half hours during the incident.

Test ID: ANAP
Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis) Antibody, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
As an adjunct in the diagnosis of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Human granulocyte ehrlichiosis (HGE) is a zoonotic infection caused by a rickettsia-like agent. The infection is acquired by contact with Ixodes ticks carrying the HGE agent. The deer mouse is the animal reservoir and, overall, the epidemiology is very much like that of Lyme disease and babesiosis. HGE is most prevalent in the upper Midwest and in other areas of the United States that are endemic for Lyme disease. Since its first description in 1994, there have been approximately 50 cases of HGE described in the upper Midwest.
The cellular target in HGE cases is the neutrophil. The organisms exist in membrane-lined vacuoles within the cytoplasm of infected host cells. Ehrlichial inclusions, called morulae, contain variable numbers of organisms. Single organisms, wrapped in vacuolar membranes have also been observed in the cytoplasm. Ehrlichia species occur in small electron-dense and large electron-lucent forms, but a clear life cycle has not been elucidated.
Diagnosis of human ehrlichiosis has been difficult because the patient's clinical course is often mild and nonspecific, including fever, myalgias, arthralgias, and nausea. This is easily confused with other illnesses such as influenza or other tickborne zoonoses such as Lyme disease, babesiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Clues to the diagnosis of ehrlichiosis in a patient with an acute febrile illness after tick exposure include laboratory findings of leukopenia or thrombocytopenia and elevated serum aminotransferase levels. However, these findings may also be present in patients with Lyme disease or babesiosis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result of an immunoflourescence assay (IFA) test (titer > or =1:64) suggests current or previous infection with human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. In general, the higher the titer, the more likely it is that the patient has an active infection.
Seroconversion may also be demonstrated by a significant increase in IFA titers.
During the acute phase of the infection, serologic tests are often nonreactive, PCR testing is available to aid in the diagnosis of these cases (see EHRL / Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, Molecular Detection, PCR, Blood).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Previous episodes of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis may produce a positive serologic result.
In rare instances, clinical evidence of infection may also be derived by direct microscopic examination of Giemsa- or Diff-Quik-stained peripheral blood buffy coat smears, which may reveal clusters of round, dark-purple stained, small dots or clusters of dots (morulae) in the cytoplasm of polymorphonuclear cells. However, this is a very insensitive method.
Performance characteristics have not been established for hemolyzed or lipemic specimens.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
