For more information and for videos of the World Famous Crew, visit www.myspace.com/worldfamousdreamteam.
In The Rankings -- The Bruins improved their RQS to 196.430 but dropped two spots to No. 6 in the national rankings. UCLA holds the third-highest season average in the nation, averaging 196.434. The Bruins grabbed the top spot on vault (49.345) and ranks fifth on beam (49.105), seventh on bars (49.180) and 10th on floor (49.075). Georgia ranks first overall with a RQS of 197.035 and is first on bars (49.405) and beam (49.355), third on vault (49.270) and fifth on floor (49.175).
Vanessa Zamarripa ranks first on vault for the second consecutive week with a 9.940 RQS. Aisha Gerber ranks eighth on beam (9.880) and 16th on vault (9.875). Ariana Berlin is tied for 20th on uneven bars (9.855). Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs ranks 15th on beam (9.865) and 20th on floor (9.860).
Powerhouse Teams - UCLA and Georgia have been the premier teams in the nation in the last 12 years, with the two teams combining for 11 of the last 12 NCAA titles. The only other school to win a NCAA Championship during this 12-year span was Alabama in 2002. Overall, UCLA has won five NCAA titles (2004, 2003, 2001, 2000, 1997), while Georgia has won nine (2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 1999, 1998, 1993, 1989, 1987), including the last four consecutive.
About The Gym Dogs -- Top-ranked and undefeated Georgia is the four-time defending NCAA champion and is coming off a monster meet against Florida last weekend, scoring a national-best 198.2. The score was the highest by a Georgia team in 10 years. The Gym Dogs have eight returning All-Americans, including three NCAA champions in 2008 floor champion and 2004 Olympic medalist Courtney McCool, 2008 beam champion Grace Taylor, and 2006 and 2007 all-around champion and two-time Olympic medalist Courtney Kupets, who currently ranks first in the nation in the all-around, bars and beam. Georgia is coached by Suzanne Yoculan, who is retiring at the end of the season after 26 years.
A Look At The All-Time Series -- UCLA's all-time record against Georgia in regular season action is 5-14. The two teams met last year in Athens, and the Bruins scored a season-high 196.925, but it wasn't enough to defeat Georgia, which scored 197.9. In the last meeting in Pauley Pavilion on Mar. 4, 2007, the Bruins edged out the Gym Dogs, 197.150-197.000, to snap their 27-meet, 57-opponent unbeaten streak. Anna Li's then-career-best 9.9 on floor exercise clinched the victory.
Perfect 10 Battle -- Sunday's meet will match the only two gymnasts in the nation who have posted multiple perfect 10s this season - UCLA's Vanessa Zamarripa and Georgia's Courtney Kupets. Zamarripa has totaled perfect marks on vault, including two in consecutive meets on Feb. 15 and Feb. 22. Kupets had two perfect 10s, on bars and beam, the same night that Zamarripa scored her first 10 (Jan. 23) and added her first career 10 on floor on Feb. 28.
Rare Live Broadcast -- Live broadcasts of collegiate gymnastics are rare, and Sunday's Fox Sports Prime Ticket broadcast of the UCLA-Georgia meet is believed to be the first of its kind since the early 90's. Jim Watson and Tasha Schwikert will be calling the action. Schwikert, a 12-time All-American at UCLA and a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic team, won the NCAA all-around titles in 2005 and 2008. She may have just finished her competitive gymnastics career, but she is no stranger to broadcasting, having done color commentary for WCSN's World Championship broadcasts from 2006-08 and UCLA gymnastics broadcasts for UCLABruins.com and LA36.
Last Competition - Bruins Beat Beavers -- Needing to score at least a 9.775 on balance beam in the final rotation for UCLA to clinch the victory, freshman Aisha Gerber came through with a 9.875 to lead the fourth-ranked Bruins to a 196.575-196.350 win over eighth-ranked Oregon State in Corvallis on Feb. 27. With the Bruins suffering a fall just one routine prior to Gerber's, there was little room for error, and Gerber had little error in her routine. Her 9.875 gave UCLA enough of a cushion to hold off the Beavers, whose 9.95 on floor from Mandi Rodriguez that was not enough. Vanessa Zamarripa won the all-around with a 39.375, while Ariana Berlin placed third with a season-high tying 39.3. Berlin and Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs tied for first on bars, and Niki Tom, Zamarripa and Gerber tied for first on beam.
Zamarripa Finds Perfection Three Times -- Freshman Vanessa Zamarripa notched her second consecutive perfect 10 on vault on Feb. 22 at Nebraska, floating a perfect Yurchenko layout full for an easy stuck landing. It was her third 10.0 of the season - she previously scored 10s at Cal State Fullerton on Jan. 23 at home in a quad meet on Feb. 15. Zamarripa is the first UCLA gymnast to score three perfect 10s in a season since Tasha Schwikert in 2005 and the first Bruin to score three 10s on the same event in one season since Jeanette Antolin had eight 10s on vault in 2004. Zamarripa, who earned Pac-10 Special Performance of the Week honors for the second time this season, is ranked first in the nation on vault with a RQS of 9.94. Her season average of 9.939 also tops all vaulters.
Hopfner-Hibbs On A Roll -- Freshman Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs has been the model of consistency and excellence for the Bruins, hitting 24 of her last 25 routines with scores of 9.775 or better. Eighteen of those 24 hit routines have gone for 9.85 or better. Her streak of hit routines ended at 24 in UCLA's last rotation on beam at Oregon State. Hopfner-Hibbs leads the team with 21 Top 3 finishes and ranks second with nine individual victories. She holds a season average of 9.854 on vault and has averaged 9.9 in her last three meets. On floor, she averages 9.831, and on beam she averages 9.791, second-best on the squad. Hopfner-Hibbs leads the team with three all-around titles. She has twice earned Pac-10 Gymnast of the Week honors (Jan. 27 and Feb. 24).
Berlin Maintains Consistency -- Senior Ariana Berlin remains one of the most consistent gymnasts in UCLA history, hitting over 96% of her routines throughout her career. So far this season, she has hit all 21 of her routines, with 17 of those 21 scores going for 9.8 or better. She averages 9.771 or higher on all four events - 9.853 on bars, 9.845 on vault, 9.825 on floor and 9.771 on beam. She has five individual titles this season, including a team-best three on bars. Two of her individual titles came at Arizona State on Jan. 30, when she tied her career-high on vault with a 9.9 and won the all-around in her first all-around attempt this year, scoring 39.3. Also at that meet, Berlin accomplished a feat she has been working on for three years - competing an Arabian double front on floor exercise. Berlin performed the E-level skill for the first time in competition and hit it, scoring 9.8 to lead all Bruins on the event.
McCullough Back On Floor -- Redshirt sophomore Brittani McCullough made an emotional return to the floor exercise lineup Feb. 15, competing on floor for the first time since rupturing her Achilles tendon on the event a year ago. McCullough, who captivated the audience with her unique dance, tumbled a double pike for her opening pass and ended with a double tuck to earn a 9.675 on her routine, which was valued at 9.9. She earned the same mark a week later at Nebraska after incurring an out of bounds deduction but earned a score of 9.85 from one of the two judges, and she had a career-best routine on Feb. 27 at Oregon State, tying her career-high with a 9.875.
Gerber Returns As Good As New -- Freshman Aisha Gerber returned to competition Feb. 22 after being forced out of competition halfway through the Feb. 15 meet. Gerber fell on top of the low bar during one-touch warmups and was unable to complete her uneven bars routine, getting all the way to the dismount before dropping down off the bar due to shortness of breath. She was pulled from the remaining events for precautionary reasons but returned a week later to compete on three events at Nebraska. Gerber tied for first on beam with a 9.85, tied her career-high on vault with a 9.9 and debuted a full-in on floor exercise and scored 9.825. Gerber had another successful meet at Oregon State, clinching the Bruin victory with a clutch 9.875 routine on balance beam.
O Canada -- UCLA has a long history of tapping into the Great White North for gymnastics talent. With three Canadians on the Bruin squad this season - sophomore Marci Bernholtz and freshmen Aisha Gerber and Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs - it has now been 16 consecutive years that UCLA has had a Canadian on the roster, with 1993 marking the last year no Canadians graced the Bruin roster. Bernholtz has represented Canada at the 2006 and 2007 World Championships and was the alternate for the 2004 Olympic Games. Gerber competed for Canada at World Cup events, the 2006 American Cup and 2004 Pacific Alliance meet. Hopfner-Hibbs represented Canada at the 2008 Olympics, 2005-07 World Championships and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Four of UCLA's 13 NCAA individual champions are Canadian - Stella Umeh, Lena Degteva, Yvonne Tousek and Kate Richardson.
Youth Is Served -- With seven freshmen and five sophomores on a 16-member squad, the 2009 Bruins are undoubtedly a young team, and they were put to the test immediately, with the underclassmen holding 22 of the 24 slots in the competitive lineup in the first two meets of the season.
The freshman class alone competed 16 of the 24 routines in the season opener. Two freshmen competed in the all-around at Utah - Aisha Gerber, who placed third in the all-around and won the balance beam, and Vanessa Zamarripa, who placed fourth in the all-around and third on vault. Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs competed on three events and earned a third-place finish on beam. Kaelie Baer hit 3-for-3 on her routines, scoring 9.8 on vault, 9.775 on beam and 9.75 on floor. Alyssa Pritchett had a successful showing as well, scoring 9.8 on vault as a last-minute substitute. Five freshmen saw action on vault - Gerber, Zamarripa, Baer, Tauny Frattone and Pritchett.
The sophomores have come up big as well, hitting 32-of-41 routines in competition for 9.7 or better, including three 9.9s from Mizuki Sato on vault and floor, a 9.9 on beam and 9.875 on floor from Niki Tom, and a 9.85 on beam for Marci Bernholtz. The sophomores have already racked up seven individual wins on the season after capturing just one a year ago.
Upperclassmen On Their Way Back -- After starting the season limited to no more than one event, the Bruin upperclassmen are on their way back to all-around action. Senior Ariana Berlin went from one event (uneven bars) in the first two meets to all-around action on Jan. 30 and Feb. 27. She scored 39.3 in both meets. Junior Anna Li also did just uneven bars in the first two meets and is now back on two events, having competed on balance beam three times now. Redshirt sophomore Brittani McCullough, who sat out the first meet after having her ankle scoped in November, has competed on three events (vault, bars and floor) the last three meets.
The Streak Lives On -- Senior Ariana Berlin's streak of consecutive meets has increased to 52 after competing all-around at Oregon State. Berlin, who joined the UCLA squad in 2006 as a walk-on who had not competed in five years, has competed in every meet of her collegiate career and has hit over 96% of her routines over her career.
Looking Ahead -- The Bruins end regular season action on Sunday, Mar. 15 with a rematch against Nebraska. The meet is also Senior Day, and the Bruins will honor seniors Ariana Berlin, Melissa Chan, Kristina Comforte and Alyssa Kitasoe.

Discrimination and Prejudice
Discrimination is another of those terms with various meanings, and it were better it was not used at all. Prejudice or irrational prejudice, to be clear, is a more ethically distinct term.
In point of plain fact any moral person and society must and does discriminate. Using the term in its sense of a discriminating person, with good judgement.
To be prejudiced against a white person, a Moslem, and so on ad infinitum is absurd, in so far as these are very approximate names for sections of the global population, and which have no intrinsic merit or vice. That is to say the ethical values that denote types of people, are very mixed within those categories.
However, the term Moslem is, as Christian, a term that denotes a particular religion. And religions are distinct in containing views on ethical values, and do so in more or less clear pragmatic terms. It would be absurd in the extreme for a Moral Society not to discriminate or select in a rational way, between these sets of values and pragmatics. At the extreme, a religion that sacrifices animals or treats them cruelly, and worse a religion that believes in human sacrifice, or self-immolation, and 'terrorism', would inevitably be proscribed by Altruist society. There is no need to pettifog about religions and sects, a person's religion is what he believes, however eccentric and illogical. Altruist society would use a little discretion, and firstly deal with the individuals, and then the particular sect, and only at the last with the entire religion.
In fair essence Altruism can only accept religions that express faith in humanity, and are not themselves bigoted.
As may have been said before, that a person is 'white' or non-pigmented, has no ethical significance. But it must have cultural significance, and a belief in diversity is a value. Millions of years of Natural and Human evolution have provided us with immense diversity, that the Open Society is squandering. The assault on Nature is having disastrous consequences.
Discrimination and Prejudice
Abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering, Just War theory and other such hot topics.

SDU President Zhang Rong Meets With President of KFAS Park In-kook
On July 7, a delegation led by Park In-kook, President of Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies (KFAS), paid a visit to Shandong University. SDU President Zhang Rong met with the guests.
Zhang thanked KFAS for its strong support of SDU over the past many years. He briefly introduced SDU, as well as the exchange between SDU and South Korea, especially emphasizing some major projects such as the Project Global Collection and Compilation of Chinese Ancient Books, the Global Consortium for Chinese Studies, and the Nishan Forum held by the Collaborative Innovation Center of Confucian Civilization at Shandong University.
"The two sides have kept a close cooperative relationship, and SDU is very supportive of jointly holding Shandong Forum with KFAS, which is in preparation now," he said " SDU hopes both sides will develop even higher levels of cooperative projects on this basis."
Park reviewed the exchange between KFAS and SDU, and expressed his hope to further discuss the details of the Shandong Forum. "Through the platform of cooperation of the Shandong Forum, KFAS will continue to discuss further cooperation with SDU," he added.
The Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies (KFAS) was established in 1974 in order to promote national growth through academic development via cultivating world-class scholars. After establishment, KFAS selected excellent South Korean students, and prepared to send them to top institutions of higher education overseas. In addition, KFAS also offers a Classical Chinese Studies Program. KFAS has launched new international academic programs in 2000, to support famous experts from other parts of Asia to cooperate with South Korean scholars. Furthermore, KFAS also launched international programs like Asia Research Centers and International Forums, to increase mutual understanding and academic development in the Asian region.

On May 13 Central Baptist of Riverton-Palmyra will be hosting their Third Annual Chili Cook Off to support Cedars of Lebanon 2020. This year two of ABCNJ's finest, Rev. Randy Van Osten of First Baptist Church Pitman and Rev. Chaz Hutchison of Scotch Plains Baptist Church, will be contributing chili to enter the competition. Come out to support a great cause and some of ABCNJ's finest cooks at the same time!
The "cook off" portion of Central's even has alway been tongue-in-cheek. While each paid ticket includes one vote, extra votes can be purchased for a dollar each. The winner is not necessarily the best chili, but the best fund-raiser. It's American politics at it's finest! 2017, however, adds a twist. One of Central's neighbors has created a trophy to be awarded to the chili he enjoys best. This bowl will be engraved and kept at the church as a reminder of who was the "Baptist Chili Champion."
Stillwaters Gospel Band will be playing throughout the gathering, adding to the charm of the evening.
May 13 • 5-7 PM
- $15 Adults

Triggering a remote action manually
Triggering a remote action manually
To manually trigger the execution of a remote action on a device from the Finder, the following conditions must be met:
- The profile of the user must either:
- Allow editing of remote actions.
- Include the remote action in one of its roles.
- The remote action must:
- Allow manual triggering.
- The device must be:
- A Windows device.
- Part of the set of devices on which the remote action allows manual triggering.
To quickly identify the remote actions that allow manual triggering, the Finder adds a small hand on top of their characteristic rocket icon in the list of Remote actions in the accordion.
To trigger a remote action from an external product, use the API of remote actions.
From a list view
To manually trigger the execution of a remote action from the list of results of an investigation on devices or the list view of a device category:
- Select a device or a set of devices from the list.
- Drag the mouse cursor or use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select multiple devices.
- By default, remote actions can be manually triggered on a single device only. Explicitly enable a remote action to be triggered on multiple devices when creating the remote action.
- Right-click your selection.
- Choose Remote actions from the menu. A list with the available remote actions shows up.
- Click the name of the desired remote action.
- If you selected multiple devices, a warning message shows up asking for confirmation. Click Yes to proceed.
From the device view
In the device view of the Finder, manually trigger remote actions from:
- The device icon on the top-left corner of the device view.
- The links to remote actions in the score tabs.
Manually triggering a remote action from the device icon in the top-left corner of the device view is very similar to triggering a remote action from a list view:
- Right-click the device icon.
- Choose Remote actions from the menu. A list with the available remote actions shows up.
- Click the name of the desired remote action.
To manually trigger a remote action from a score tab in the device view, the score tab must include proper documentation with links to remote actions:
- Click the score tab to select it.
- Look for an appropriate link to a remote action (a link preceded by a rocket icon) in the documentation of the score.
- If needed, click a subscore that provides its own documentation. Only documented subscores are clickable.
- Click the link to the remote action.

Too many restaurants, not enough time. Cut the fat with our guide to the best restaurants Sydney has to offer
Welcome to the Time Out EAT List, our handpicked 'best of' for Sydney's food scene. These are the best places to eat in this city right now: the freshest, most inventive and memorable venues, ranked by our expert local editors.
Unless you have the metabolism of a nine year old, and the finances of a Kardashian, you never stand a chance against Sydney's ferocious dining machine. The openings just don't stop and ain't nobody got time to keep on top of what's what. Except us, that is.
Time Out's local experts scour the city every day for great eats, great value and insider info (like these cheap hacks for fancy places). We value fun, flavour, creativity – and we've thrown in a mix of price points because sometimes you want to drop cash like a tourist and eat inside the Opera House, and sometimes you want a mini-treat, like some next level Malaysian food. So behold, our eat-and-destroy list – a guide to Sydney's best restaurants.
Eaten somewhere on this list and loved it? Share it with the hashtag #TimeOutEatList
Find out more about how Time Out makes recommendations and reviews restaurants.
And when you're done eating, start working your way through our guides to Sydney's best cafes, 50 best bars and 50 best pubs. Bon appétit!
The best restaurants in Sydney
Saint Peter
Do you know your blood clams from your flame cockles? Or what the hell a stargazer is? Josh Niland does. This young gun chef wants to personally introduce you to the treasures of the high seas.
Here at Hubert, the Frenchified first restaurant from Sydney's favourite bar boys, the Swillhouse group the chicken is the go-to. That's what you get with one of Sydney's most innovative chefs, Daniel Pepperell in the kitchen.
A1 Canteen
It's brunch with fine-dining credentials, a coffee spot that also does dinner, and it's brilliant anytime of day. Welcome to the all-day dining renaissance.
Momofuku Seiobo
Ringside seats don't get better than the stools lining the Momofuku Seiobo kitchen. This is as close to the cooking action as you can get without head chef Paul Carmichael reaching over and handing you a veggie peeler and a bag of spuds.
Lankan Filling Station
We've waited a very long time for O Tama Carey to open her own restaurant. Now the Sydney chef has a permanent home that's bringing tropical fire, and the only thing standing between you and more curry is the wait time on a table.
It takes moxie to make a potato the star of your degustation, but here, tubers are a power move. At this understated dining room in a Stanmore terrace, a whole confit spud was the most memorable dish of the meal.
Ho Jiak Haymarket
At their first hole-in-wall location in the corner of a Strathfield shopping plaza, Ho Jiak's kitchens tapped into a thirst for nyonya cooking – hybrid Chinese-Malay cuisine – so strong that patrons quickly spilled out onto the communal seating outside.
LP's Quality Meats
Sydney loves a bit of smoke, so it makes sense that two of the guys behind Porteño couldn't be satisfied with one firey restaurant alone, so they backed Luke Powell to head up a restaurant that rejects all imitations and does barbecue the southern American way.
Chris Benedet (Rockpool, Cirrus) took over the control decks and, overseen by Yellow co-owner Brent Savage, is doing a fine job protecting the restaurant's permanent record. Yellow is as great as ever.
Ester Restaurant and Bar
Chef Mat Lindsay slings big, punchy flavours into the wood-fired oven so that the blistering heat can work its magic, softening the fat of a tender half duck, blackening the leaves of cauliflowers and drawing the flavours out of the shells of their famous king prawns.
Dining at Aria will make you fall back in love with Sydney. It's a kind of romantic alchemy forged by the floor-to-ceiling glass – the only thing between you and the the Sydney Opera House – and six flawless courses from the chef Joel Bickford.
Lunch at Bert's is as close as we can ever get to actually living the jazz age in all its glory. There's not a dining room in the city that can hold a candle to the soft-focus beauty that Merivale have achieved in the final instalment of the Newport's renewal.
Apple, peach, cherry and grapefruit might sound like a list of ingredients, but they're not what you're eating, but how you're eating. They are the woods that are feeding the charcoal oven, grill and hearths on which everything is cooked at this fire-powered Surry Hills restaurant.
Continental Deli Bar Bistro
Merging New York's bodegas with Europe's wine bars and Argentina's skill with meats sounds like a pipe dream, but Elvis Abrahanowicz and Joe Valore of Porteño, Bodega and LP's Quality Meats fame made it a reality with Continental Deli Bar Bistro.
Is it too much to ask to go on a culinary adventure, and be done in a snappy two hours? Not at Automata, Clayton Wells' mod fine diner in Chippendale's jam-packed dining precinct.
Long Chim
The kitchen in the concrete-lined restaurant in Angel Place is a fire and smoke-fuelled locomotive, filling the dining room with that sweet wok breath that promises fat, flat noodles with extra char.
You can't help but feel like a serious power broker with your back up against the plummy leather banquette and a dry-aged steak that's big enough to feed two.
At Hartsyard 2.0, there's no sign of a sophomore slump. Aside from the absence of their famed fried chicken what you're getting here in 2018 is just a slightly more sophisticated pressing of their original neighbourhood diner.
Spice I Am
At 82 items long, Spice I Am's A3, double-sided, laminated menus have been keeping flavour fossickers on their toes for 14 years, thanks to head chef Sujet Saenkham's authentic brand of Thai cooking.
Behind the little linen curtains and dark timber façade of this Oxford Street diner you'll find an experience so warm and inviting it feels like you've gone back in time to Julia Child's kitchen.
Golden Century
Picking up the giant menu book at Golden Century is like sitting down for story time, but the tale you're about to embark on involves a lot of shellfish, eating all the fried things and having hazy recollections of thinking that second bottle of Hunter Valley chardonnay from Scarborough was a bonza idea.
Early this year one of the most famous restaurants in the country decided it was time for a little nip and tuck of the old operation. Fast forward a few months and Quay has sleek new look, a sharp new menu and it's even harder to get a table than before.
Moon Restaurant
How do you convince a town whose bachelor degrees are powered by six-dollar Thai that they should pay $36 for a Panang curry? Serving it inside a room that looks to be moonlighting as a European wine bar is a good start.
Bentley Restaurant and Bar
You might not expect a seriously schmick wine bar and restaurant housed in the original Fairfax building in the heart of the CBD to be all about inclusivity, but the Bentley Restaurant and Bar by sommelier Nick Hildebrandt and chef Brent Savage wants everyone to have a good time.
Fratelli Paradiso
Frills and frippery can be fun, but nothing tops tripped back Italian in the weekend lunch stakes. Fratelli Paradiso has been dishing up the goods for close to two decades and it's still as stuffed as a fresh cannoli on a Saturday at noon.
Sydney is in the midst of a full Italian renaissance, and so when a classic Italian restaurant in Rushcutters Bay decides to change things up, they go and transform themselves into... a classic Italian restaurant, but this time with a sharp focus on all things Roman.
Gogyo comes from the same people who brought Japanese ramen juggernaut Ippudo to Australia. They specialise in a kogashi (which means 'charred' in Japanese) ramen, which sees a pan heated to a smoking-hot temperature before a dollop of miso paste is added and then it's deglazed with chicken broth.
This particular stretch of Bayswater Road is not where we expected to find Sydney's best Mexican food, but suddenly this barren field is bearing delicious bounty in the form of a whole snapper, deboned and dressed like a traffic light.
Finding amazing food in the least likely places is one of the best things about Sydney. All that sprawl means more hot spots for ace noodles, baked treats, and in this one very specific case, a smoked chicken katsu.
Cho Cho San
Opening up a excellent restaurant is hard. What's even more difficult is staying great. After four years on Macleay Street, Jonathan Barthelmess and Nic Wong's modern Sydney-via-Tokyo joint Cho Cho San has managed to do just that.
Icebergs Dining Room and Bar
Dining fashions may come and go, but drinking Spritzes with ocean views and a corps of Sydney's most beautiful people at neighbouring tables will never go out of style.
Mr Wong
They'll tell you to go for the Peking duck. They'll tell you it's a juicy bird with crisp skin and sweet meat. And they'd be right. It is. This is just one of the many roast delights at Mr Wong – a two-level Canto-extravaganza.
Inside the beautifully restore Marie Louise salon on Enmore Road you can sit upstairs in the dining room-proper, but we're all about the casual vibes of the black and white-toned downstairs bar, where you can sit next to your partner and watch all the action of the bar unfold.
Juan Bowl and Tea
The delicious is in the detail at Juan, the compact Japanese diner in Redfern where there are only four main meals to choose from. Go with a friend and you've tried 50 per cent of the menu – a stat that allows little chance for food envy to kick in.
They've clearly put a lot of thought into how people are going to approach the beautiful restaurant inside the Opera House sails.
This is the most impressive sushi counter in Sydney. The only challenge is landing one of those eight spots that let you take both hands off the wheel and let chef Chase Kojima do the driving during your omakase dining experience.
You'd think going out for a little fancy fish with water views would be an simple request in a harbour-front city, but it's taken culinary kingpins Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt opening Cirrus to finally nail the brief.
Sean's Panaroma
This little beachfront restaurant looks like a coastal café but has the heart of a fine diner, and for nearly 25 years it has been setting the standard for thoughtful modern Australian cooking.
Cory Cambell (ex-Noma and Vue De Monde) has created a straight-shooting menu for this top floor, waterfront venue down in Barangaroo.
Sáng by Mabasa
A family-owned Korean that approaches all the details with laser-like precision and modern sensibility.
The Apollo
Our advice is as true today as it was when we first wrote it: don't order everything, as much as you'll want to. You will leave Apollo uncomfortably full.
You don't come to Sagra to show off. It's not about pomp or prestige, any more than fiddly garnishes or fancy plating. But taking someone there will impress them, because this is one of Sydney's most beloved modern Italians.
A blink of an eye finds you far from the bustle of Bondi Road and smack bang in the centre of an idyllic Tuscan courtyard, made all the better by Mike Eggert's updated takes on Italian comfort classics.
Chin Chin
Sydney might have invented the dance known as 'queuing for hours for a hot new restaurant' but that aspirational jig was perfected by Melburnians when Chin Chin, proved that the quickest route to popularity was a hot wok, a cache of chilis and a stocked bar.
Here they're all about a modern spin on classic Middle Eastern dishes. Spiced short-rib, haloumi and baked olives come straight from the wood-fired oven that powers the kitchen area, while two kinds of arak, Lebanese beer and wine from Bekaa Valley are housed behind the bar.
Queens Hotel
Mud crabs are the new dining status symbol. Forget lobster – either you can afford to shell out on the fleshy crustaceans (that usually go for $140-odd dollars a kilo) or you can't.
Bella Brutta
All you need to know are four words when you head to chef Luke Powell's Newtown hotspot: order the clam pizza.
Banh Xeo Bar
Right in the heart of this new dining precinct is a white-tiled lunch spot lit by a pink neon sign, where Robyn in on the stereo and Vietnamese is on the menu. Don't you dare pre-snack because you'll need every inch for the titular, lacey-edged, coconutty pancakes in a luminous turmeric gold.
The Dolphin Hotel Dining Room
The Dolphin Hotel has been taken over by none other than Maurice Terzini, the man behind Icebergs and Da Orazio, and he's brought everything but the sand with him.
Rockpool Bar & Grill
When you want to live your best pre-GFC life and drop cash on red meat, red wine and oysters, this is the best place in Sydney to indulge yourself.

You want for all your hard work to FINALLY BE NOTICED with the pay and promotion you deserve!
You've been in the corporate world long enough to become talented in your function but your title, pay and level of influence don't match your high talent.
You want to achieve more but you feel stuck and stalled. Others seem to be coming out of nowhere and getting the prime assignments.
You´ve have been told you are either 'too much' and need to get a tone things down. OR, you're not visible enough because you question yourself, don't speak up for yourself, or you haven't figured out how to navigate the masculine structures at work to get the title, pay and promotion you want.
I hear it all the time from women who've clocked a few years in corporate....
With everything going on in the world around women in leadership, IT'S TIME FOR MORE WOMEN TO BE IN LEADERSHIP!
And you know that you have earned it! That you have been educated and are hardworking. And your organization actually needs you to be playing at a higher level.
But you can't play at a higher level if you don't get that promotion.
Hi, my name is Cassandra Shepard and I am passionate about seeing more women in leadership positions so we can change (read: IMPROVE) the way work is done in this world!
Trouble is, after 25+ successful years in corporate and being a Chief of Staff and Senior Vice President in a global organization, I see younger women in corporate struggle unnecessarily.
Make the ask.
Find your voice as a strong but still approachable emerging leader.
Gain visibility so your name is on the lips of upper management months before a higher level position is even posted.
Make yourself indispensable without working crazy long hours while others get the glory for your hard work.
Deal with office politics, your boss and difficult colleagues without losing your cool or becoming emotional.
Fortunately, you don't have to figure this stuff out on your own.
I've designed this program specifically for the emerging corporate woman who desires to:
Receive elite personal attention and expert guidance from a powerful feminine C-suite mentor who has succeed in the corporate world without losing her feminine heart.
Gain the foundational confidence and polish you need to create greater success in the corporate environment.
Learn how to leverage your expertise while being the real you at work.
Discover how to say the tough stuff, and do so without losing your confidence or getting emotional.
Master the masculine structures by deepening, not hiding! your feminine leadership power.
Avoid the common mistakes women in corporate make that lead to conflict and misunderstandings.
Set yourself up for the next level of success.
Some programs give you snippets of what you need to succeed in corporate. Others overload and overwhelm you with HR-speak that gets you nowhere.
In this program that is tailored specifically to you, I'm giving you everything you need, and nothing that you don't, so you can pull it together and build your career and life the way you desire.
12 weekly 1-hour coaching sessions.
Welcome Packet & Orientation Materials to jumpstart your success.
Spring Clean Your Life — A classic technique I learned from my very first coach and dear mentor to help you start clearing up your world on a holistic basis before we dive in.
Access to my 'black book' of resources and insider secrets to help your polish your leadership.
Email support via laser coaching for the duration of your program.
It's time to be the empowered leader who invests in herself
to have the professional life, personal fulfillment
and impact you truly desire.
