I am currently a high school senior, and I would like to know if there are any good scholarships I could apply for. My family isn't rich, so I'm looking for any way possible to pay for college!

apply for every thing! Try for grants, scholarships, if you know what school you are going to attend their financial aide people should be able to help you…if not check on the web and at your local library also ask your counselor at school. Best of Luck and Study hard!!

you can get the best scholarship by searching on these websites.
best of luck

This service is free. Just fill out the questionaire and see what grants,loans and scholarships you qualify for.
the way this works is different organizations require you to write an essay on a certain subject or make a video telling why you want this award.Then it's judged by a selection committee. Nine times out of ten,it's the essay.
Awards start at about $500.00 – $10000.00. good luck.

Eater Map: Your Guide to San Francisco's Douchiest Bars : Eater SF

by on March 19, 2011

Last week, we asked a simple question: what’s really the douchiest bar in San Francisco? the response was, quite frankly, very strong. as you’ve likely noticed by now, we’ve been steadily rolling out the nominations—and there were many— all week, and now, all the official candidates thus far are centralized in the Great Eater Map of Douchiest Bars. Rest assured, we’re going to put the whole shebang to an official vote, probably early next week. Keep submitting your picks in the comments or to the tipline, and we’ll continually update the map as we reveal further nominations. for now, take a gander at the cartography:

Cooking With The Single Guy: More Dim Sum at Hong Kong Flower Lounge

by on December 24, 2010

This is an occasional report on return visits to restaurants that I’ve already reviewed.

Favorite Dishes at Millbrae Classic
51 Millbrae Ave. (at El Camino Real), Millbrae
Near Millbrae BART
PH: 650.692.6666
Open daily for dim sum, lunch and dinner
Reservations (for dinner or large parties for dim sum), major credit cards accepted
www.mayflower-seafood.com

Original visit: October 2009

MILLBRAE
When my Mom visits, I take her to some new restaurants, but I always make sure we go to some old reliable spots so she gets her classic Hong Kong cuisine fix. For dim sum, we’ll either return to Koi Palace in Daly City or the venerable Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae.

This dim sum tea house near San Francisco International Airport still draws the crowds, and even when my Mom, sister and I came for dim sum on a Monday afternoon, the place was still packed with a lot of business lunch diners. I took my Mom here around the same time last year, and she ordered a few of the same items.

Such as this bowl of pickled pig’s feet with ginger, soy and a boiled egg. I didn’t try this last year. Didn’t try it this year.

She also got this big plate of special joong, the sticky rice packet wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed. This special joong has a variety of ingredients in the center that gives it a distinct herbal taste. just this plate itself cost around $15, and it’s a pretty big order that can fill you up making it difficult to try anything else being sold from carts circulating the room.

But we foraged on to try this plate of roast pork. My Mom was a bit upset that the waitress told her this was roasted suckling pig, which is one of her favorite things to order. But the difference between suckling pig and regular roasted pig is the tender meat, and she felt this was just like a regular pig and not a baby pig. I didn’t really mind because the pieces were all tasty and tender with crispy skin.

My Mom and sister really diverged from typical dim sum dishes and went for their favorites that only they can enjoy, like this traditional steamer of tripe. While some might think tripe is chewy and tasteless, when prepared well they can be thinly sliced and tender with the sweet soy and scallion flavor. Hong Kong Flower Lounge delivered just that with their version.

Of course, you know I had to get my lai wong bao, or yellow custard buns. Earlier in my Mom’s visit I had the steamed version at Koi Garden in Dublin, but I have to say the baked version is still more enticing and satisfying. Hong Kong Flower Lounge’s version has a sweet custard in the center encased in a baked bun topped with a flaky substance that had a slight taste of coconut.

My Mom got this plate of Chinese jello, which I thought would be like haupia, the Hawaiian coconut gelatin dish. But it had more an almond flavor, which was OK but not as exciting if it was creamy coconut.

As you leave the restaurant, you pass this happy buddha, and everyone rubs his tummy for good luck. I just feel everyone leaving the restaurant is so stuff they probably feel like a happy buddha too.

Update experience (previously 3.5 stars): Still delivering consistently good dim sum

Fox Business Network infested by false tale of stimulus bill's …

by on November 6, 2010

PAYNE: Adam, Americans don’t care about pork, and more orless what Chuck Schumer is saying is, just throw everything against the wall,let’s see what sticks. and by the way, you know, obviously, I thought about youthis morning. The salt marsh mouse — Americans don’t care about that kind ofstuff?

LASHINSKY: well, I think, Charles, you and Todd [Wilemon]are letting the facts get in the way of telling a good story here, becauseChuck Schumer is probably right. look, two things: on a more serious note, Ithink we’re all bought into the fact right now that we don’t care about thebudget deficit in the very short term.

Republicans and Democrats alike agree that if we could getto good stimulus — good stimulative spending — that that would be a good useof our money right now. whether or not this bill does that is a separatesubject. do Americans care about pork? I don’t think so. I don’t think theyever cared about pork. they care about somebody else getting pork, but if theycan get some, they love it. You know that.

PAYNE: so — so, Ben, $30 million to save a mouse in a marshsomewhere near San Francisco,and the average person is wondering where their next mortgage payment is comingfrom. do you tell me that people don’t care about this stuff?

STEIN: I think people care about it very, very much. There’san awful lot of doubt about it. I can remember a long conversation with KarlRove, who certainly knows an awful lot about how elections are won and lost,saying that the allegations of pork and earmarks against the Republicans weredevastating to them in the 2006 elections. This whole bill is pork though,Charles.

LASHINSKY: The second point is: It’s great — I think it’sgreat to see Wal-Mart coming back to Chicagoand saying, look, let us in. We’re going to invest money in your community. Howcan you say no to that? San Francisco,my city, just said no to a company called American Apparel, and it was stupid– a company that wanted to spend money in a neighborhood. it doesn’t — itjust doesn’t make any sense.

PAYNE: well, maybe if American Apparel could find a home forthose salt marsh mouse, they might get a compromise here.
