We wanted to try more dishes, but we had reached the limit. We’ve eaten a lot of sweet shrimp along the way, and the sweet shrimp at Onēsan was incredibly fresh with a perfectly crunchy fried shrimp head. To wrap up our feast, we indulged in salmon and sweet shrimp nigiri. It was a DIY adventure for assembling the perfect bite. It's served with five bite-sized pieces of crispy fried rice tucked neatly into a wooden box, accompanied by a bowl of spicy tuna, shisho and avocado and a soup spoon filled with a spicy ponzu. The presentation of this dish is spectacular. The Katana Crunch ($19) caught our attention and ended up stealing the show. This was our favorite dish on the happy hour menu.Įven though our stomachs were saying otherwise, we couldn’t resist exploring more from the main menu. ![]() Our final happy hour plate was the hot and sour beef dumplings, beef-filled pockets of love served with a spiced black vinegar sauce. The filling was a bit of a surprise: more of a wild mushroom cream cheese sauce than a filling, but still tasty. This is a steal considering the same dishes outside of happy hour range from $8 to $15.Īngie Quebedeaux With our appetites in full swing, we set our sights on the wild mushroom Rangoon, which came with five crispy and crunchy bites served atop a Szechuan chili and spicy mustard sauce. If you're there for happy hour, you can score select traditional rolls, dim sum, craft cocktails and wine for $7 each. We visited during happy hour (Tuesday through Saturday, 4–6 p.m.), so we indulged in a smorgasbord of dishes both on and off the happy hour menu. The lighting sets a dim and intimate mood, and the music adds a touch of flair without drowning out conversation. The bar is adorned with Japanese art and custom murals, and the traditional sushi bar seats eight if you like to watch the sushi chefs. Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a more sophisticated but casual dining area. ![]() The patio is cleverly separated from the restaurant's neighbors at Village Burger Bar and Howdy Homemade Ice Cream by a wall of neatly trimmed greenery, which helps drown out the sound of the 50-plus kids who are usually running amok at those establishments on any given evening. A covered outdoor patio connects to the main bar through a large window that's open on nice weather days. It's an inviting place form the moment you approach. Based on the response from the neighborhood, it evolved into its own standalone restaurant. The concept started as SevenWoks, an Asian-fusion delivery-only place that originally operated out of Republic’s kitchen during the pandemic. The owners of Onēsan also own the neighboring Republic Texas Tavern. It's been open for about a year now in the spot that was formerly the home of East Hampton Sandwich Company. Onēsan Dim Sum and Sushi is a chic Asian restaurant on Inwood Road in North Dallas. ![]() ![]() ![]() The gambles have nothing to do with his laughter-eradicating plot, but that of the adult characters. While most actors may balk seeing their name in a post-Poopypants parenthetical, Kroll takes perverse pride in crafting a wonderfully off-kilter maniac. However, some gambles fail to pay off as Krupp and the boys meet/create their first supervillain in substitute teacher and former mad scientist Professor Poopypants (Nick Kroll). It may be in the gutter, but Captain Underpants is as buoyant a film as the studio has made in years. ![]() The duo have ample opportunity to sell ridiculous lines, break the fourth wall and generally have a ball without getting bogged down or restrained by Dreamworks’ typical reference-heavy humor. OK, the fart orchestra seems aesthetically relevant, but it still takes far too much time away from the film’s voice-acting gifts in Middleditch and Hart. ![]() Why we needed “Hallelujah”-not another Leponard Cohen cover-or a fart orchestra, I’m not sure. Its script by Nicholas Stoller hits far more often than it misses, though some self-congratulatory dialogue (characters mentioning how funny/stupid/crazy a joke is while pointing at the joke) and musical segments are tiresome. The movie looks very different from what you may expect from Dreamworks animation: Mikros Image, the animation company behind The Little Prince, gives this parodic world a soft, matte roundness that looks as inviting for kids as its lowbrow jokes sound. Krupp finds earnestness and confidence as the near-nude crimefighter enamored with his own (made-up) legend. When the boys snap their fingers, Krupp loses his toupee, attitude and clothing to become their own comic book creation: Captain Underpants. ![]() Krupp hates the two boys and their antics so much that he threatens to end their friendship, so, after going through the requisite whoopee cushions and joy buzzers, the boys discover it’s finally a cereal box hypnosis ring they can use to strike back against their cruel taskmaster. Like all movies about botched experimental creations, Captain Underpants starts off with harmless stakes. The presumptuously titled Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, based on Dav Pilkey’s first four children’s books in the Captain Underpants series (all of which have amusingly lengthy titles themselves), pokes a lot of fun at the concept of superheroes, the concept of action movies and the very cinematic medium in which it’s found itself.Ĭreated accidentally by prankster elementary schoolers George Beard (Kevin Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Thomas Middleditch), Captain Underpants provides a harmless bit of antagonizing to his alter-ego, principal/despot Mr. What this movie gleefully presupposes is: Maybe one can.

Also in 1993, Masako, Crown Princess of Japan wore a sleeveless white gown designed by Mori for her wedding ceremony. In 1992, Mori designed the official uniform for the Japanese Delegation to the Barcelona Olympics and, in 1994, the official uniform for the Japanese Delegation to the Lillehammer Olympics. From 1989 to 1996, Mori employed Dominique Sirop as a designer. The first uniform was worn from 1967 to 1970 the second, which created a sensation by featuring a miniskirt, worn from 1970 to 1977 and the third worn from 1977 to 1988. Mori designed three consecutive uniforms for the flight attendants of Japan Air Lines (JAL). In 1965, she presented her first New York City collection, "East Meets West." Twelve years later, she opened an haute couture showroom in Paris, leading to her 1977 appointment as a member of the Chambre syndicale de la couture parisienne.

Tree-of-heaven is dioecious, meaning a tree is either male or female, and typically grows in dense colonies, or "clones." All trees in a single clone are the same sex. The foul odor produced by the crushed foliage and broken twigs is also unique to tree-of-heaven. The leaflet edges of these native trees all have teeth, called serrations, while those of tree-of-heaven are smooth. This species is easily confused with some of our native trees that have compound leaves and numerous leaflets, such as staghorn sumac, black walnut, and hickory. The samaras are found in clusters, which often hang on the tree through winter.Ĭlose up of seeds (samaras). Seeds: Seeds on female trees are a 1-to-2-inch-long twisted samara, or wing. The twigs easily break to expose the large, spongy, brown center, or pith. They have large V- or heart-shaped leaf scars. Twigs: The twigs of tree-of-heaven are alternate on the tree, stout, greenish to brown in color, and lack a terminal bud. When crushed, the leaves and all plant parts give off a strong, offensive odor. At the base of each leaflet are one to two protruding bumps called glandular teeth. The leaflets are lance-shaped with smooth or "entire" margins. One leaf can range in length from 1 to 4 feet with anywhere from 10 to 40 leaflets. Leaves: Tree-of-heaven leaves are pinnately compound, meaning they have a central stem in which leaflets are attached on each side. Size: Tree-of-heaven has rapid growth and can grow into a large tree, reaching heights of 80 feet and up to 6 feet in diameter.īark: The bark of tree-of-heaven is smooth and brownish-green when young, eventually turning light brown to gray, resembling the skin of a cantaloupe. Tree-of-heaven has spread and become a common invasive plant in urban, agricultural, and forested areas. By the early 1900s the tree began losing popularity due to its "weedy" nature, prolific root sprouting, and foul odor. It was widely planted from New York City to Washington, D.C. The tree was initially valued as a unique, fast-growing ornamental shade tree with the ability to grow on a wide range of site conditions, tolerating poor soils and air quality. ![]() Immigrants later introduced tree-of-heaven to the West Coast in the 1850s. It was first introduced into the United States in the Philadelphia area in the late 1700s. Tree-of-heaven ( Ailanthus altissima), commonly referred to as ailanthus, is a rapidly growing deciduous tree native to both northeast and central China, as well as Taiwan. ![]() ![]() ![]() Audiobooks help make stories accessible to kids of all different reading levels and stages of reading. Every narrator brings something a little bit different to the telling of a story – and listening to a variety of narrators models for kids how to read with flair and confidence and how to create unique voices for characters and storylines themselves when they read on their own.Ħ. Exposure to many different narrators gives kids a great understanding of how a story-teller can bring a story to life with voice inflections, humor, mystery, and varied cadence. ![]() Kids use their imaginations to conjure images of the story and its characters as the telling unfolds.ĥ. Listening to stories taps children's imaginations, the same way that reading does. Your child will benefit from the introduction to new and varied vocabulary without the frustration of not yet being able to read it himself.Ĥ. Audiobooks can also be a way of introducing books above your child's current reading level, so that more complex stories and vocabulary can be introduced and enjoyed. Exposure to new vocabulary comes with independent reading, reading aloud, or listening to audiobooks. Engage your kids in retelling the story they are listening to, have them share their favorite part or ask questions about the characters and plot to support their understanding of the story being told.ģ. Listening to audiobooks continues to help build these essential skills. Whether your kids are reading a book or listening to one, a huge part of the reading experience is developing critical thinking and comprehension skills. Start with short stories and build over time to chapter books and novels that require listening for longer periods of time.Ģ. Listening to audiobooks builds listening skills, attention span and helps kids build their capacity to focus. While there are many benefits to including audiobooks in your kids' experiences with stories and reading, here are some worth noting:ġ. But more often than not, they are intently focused on just listening and enjoying the story. They often choose to listen while they tinker in their room building or drawing. My kids (8 and 10) still love to listen to audiobooks. We've spent lots of time talking about different points in the stories and sharing our predictions about what would happen next – or what we think of a particular character in the story so far. There were books we couldn't wait to get home to listen to as a family while cooking or after dinner before bed – or on the weekends when there is more time to hang out together. Oftentimes, we listened to stories as a family, both at home and on car trips, and the experience unfolded over many hours and days as we moved into longer stories. And by the time they were about 7 and 8 years old, they were listening to a mix of chapter books and full novels. As my boys got older, we moved into longer stories and chapter books. I also tried to ensure exposure to a wide variety of themes and storylines. I picked classic stories and fairy tales, as well as new releases. Our local library was a great resource for finding audiobooks and we also purchased some because my kids loved to listen to the stories over and over again. ![]() There are so many to choose from and most are based on beloved children's picture books. We started out listening to very short 5- to 7-minute children's stories. Plus, they added tremendous variety to our reading experiences. While listening to audiobooks did not replace my time reading aloud to them, they were a great complement to my read-alouds and to my children's own book exploration. I introduced audiobooks to my boys when they were very little. Although nothing can replace the delight and importance of spending time reading aloud to your children, bringing audiobooks into the mix of reading experiences your kids have has many benefits. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a state for historical reasons, but like all four of these microstates, they conform in most respects to the larger society around them, if only to survive. For most practical purposes, it isn't all that different from living in any of several cities in Rimini. Any member of the Church living in San Marino should be in the Rimini Ward. ![]() San Marino is completely inside the Rimini Ward boundaries. I am glad to know that there is a member family in San Marino. Gillis Hill Ward, Fayetteville North Carolina Stake (2 Branches, 7 Wards)Ĭentral Eurasian Mission (6 Branches, 3 Regions)Īreas Temples Miss Stakes Dist Wards Branch Totals In 2013, two young men were called as missionaries from the Juba Branch, South Sudan (Uganda Kampala Mission) Both young men entered the Ghana MTC in June 2013 and thus were likely just released from their missions.ĭaybreak 9th Ward, South Jordan Utah Daybreak Stake (9th Ward)įarmington Ranches 5th Ward, Farmington Utah West Stake (1 branch, 10 Wards) The Faroe Islands and Greenland show up on LDS maps as being part of the Denmark Copenhagen Mission Branch-quite possibly indicating groups in each. This is a large country with the Church not having an ability to teach people. I think the microstate situation (all four pretty much the same), is a different story than say, Mali, where the only known members of the Church are a former presidential candidate and his wife. ![]() There are undoubtedly members of the Rimini Ward living in Italy that drive through San Marino to get to church each week. Population-wise, Rimini is about the size of Davis County, Utah, and San Marino has about the population of Kaysville, however Rimini+San Marino has about half the area of Davis County. The Province of Rimini has about 10 times the population of San Marino. Take San Marino it is in the midst of (completely surrounded by) the Province of Rimini. People freely flow in and out of the microstates. They are all in customs union with the neighboring state and thus there are no border checks. And it takes about a half hour to drive from the capital of the microstate to get to their church building in Switzerland, Italy, France, and Spain, respectively. All four represent a small part of a congregation area and population. And yet all four are in pretty much exactly the same position with respect to LDS congregations. The first two are on this list and the second two are not. Not including Vatican City, there are four European microstates: Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco, and Andorra. I am a little uncomfortable with the idea that the microstates of Europe don't have an official LDS presence, usually defined as at least one congregation. A case study that examines this topic can be found here. It appears that there is a renewed interest by LDS leaders to open additional nations to the Church as evidenced by recent missionary investigatory trips to Senegal and Sao Tome and Principe and the inclusion of former Soviet Republics previously unassigned to missions in the newly organized Central Eurasian Mission. The Church has approximately three dozen nations worldwide with no LDS presence - approximately one dozen of these nations have no restrictions on religious freedom. Their trip to Timor-Leste appeared entirely humanitarian in nature through LDS Charities. Senior missionaries on humanitarian assignment recently took part in an exploratory trip to Timor-Leste under the direction of the Asia Area Presidency. A public affairs specialist is often one of the first representatives of the Church to investigate conditions for missionary activity, assist in the process for the Church to obtain government recognition, and lay the groundwork for the eventual assignment of full-time missionaries. The Church recently noted in its Senior Missionary Opportunities Bulletin that there is a need for a public affairs specialist to administer Vietnam and Timor-Leste within the next 12 months. For example, the Church operates a separate mission region in the Vanuatu Port Vila Mission for New Caledonia. Generally a separate mission region is organized for each country that has missionaries assigned. Mission regions are typically created in missions that administer multiple countries. The Church recently created a new mission region in the Indonesia Jakarta Mission to specifically administer Timor-Leste. Inhabited by 1.2 million, Timor-Leste is one of the few nations that has a predominantly Christian population and no LDS presence. There have been three recent developments that suggest the Church is making preparations to establish an LDS presence in Timor-Leste (East Timor). ![]() |
