The Squier® Standard Stratocaster® is a great playing guitar with a traditional vibe and modern feel. Player-friendly features like a 22-fret Fingerboard and a slimmer neck make for easier playing and choke-free bends. Alnico single-coil pickups provide plenty of punch.

Although this guitar is great value for money. Offers all the looks, and some of the tone of the Fender strat for a lot less; however, is nowhere near as nice to play or tonally good as the Squier Classic Vibe Strat. Put in the extra few bucks and get that one.

Prior to buying my Squier Standard Made in Indonesia ICS12013975, I only have love for MIJ Squiers (I own a Floyd Rose and a fixed bridge model). When I heard that Fender has been producing Squiers in Korea and China, my thought has always been "save for and buy a real Fender Strat."
In August 2013, I went to a local music store in Davao City and saw this Candy Red Squier Standard. Of course, the color was so beautiful it drew me in. Without any plan on buying the guitar, I asked the salesman if he could plug it in so I can try it out.
The rest is history and the guitar is with me now.
You can't get any closer to a Fender Strat sound than this guitar - that unmistakable brightness and twang on the bridge pickup, the bluesy tone on the bridge.
When I got home, I unscrewed and lifted up the pickup and saw where that genuine Strat sound was coming from: Three Alnico single coils, the look of which, was similar to my MIJ pickups. I was told the PUPs on my Squier was built by Tonerider but I didn't have a way of verifying it.
But did Fender actually intended the Indon Cort plant to become an overseas Fender guitar production similar to the one in Mexico?
Because by any angle, the Squiers produced there, like mine, sounded like they were intended to be real Fender guitars. Or Fender crafted in Indonesia but had been mistakenly stamped Squier on the headstock? I could just wonder.
At any rate, you can gig with this guitar all night and don't have to worry about reliability. I should know because I have been playing for years now

This is an amazing guitar! It outplays and outperforms guitars many times its price. I know, I have a few.

I play on several worship teams in my town, plus my band, and I needed something to hold its own against everybody else's high-quality gear. Strangely, this thing does the job wonderfully. An unfinished maple neck, tremolo arm and triple pickups are what I could not get from my other guitars. The features are standard for a Stratocaster, which means that the tone, design and playability are uncompromised. I love it!

This is not an American Stratocaster. Having said that, this guitar is 95% of an American Stratocaster. I would liken it to buying a Toyota Camry instead of a Lexus. It is basically the same experience, you get everything you need, (but maybe not everything you want) at a deeply discounted price. I especially love the clean tones this guitar produces, and the pickups are also very good, I wouldn't even want to change them. The playability of this guitar is great. It feels great to play, and the strings are slightly closer together than that of Prs, or Gibson and other leading brands. I personally like the closer strings myself. They add a huge factor to the playability overall, and the build quality is excellent especially for a guitar this low in price. This guitar is a great buy and I would recommend it to any guitar player young or old, good or bad.

I own 2 of these, a 2003 and 04 respectively which are Black and Cherry finishes with Rosewood Fretboards. Even though these were great sounding guitars when I originally bought them, I felt the need to " upgrade " them both a bit. I took out the stock 500K pots and replaced them with all new Fender 250 Ks along with a new set of Fender 57/62 pickups in each guitar as well. Now they're both great sounding guitars that I would pit up against any MIA Fender Strat . The stock tuners on these do a great job of maintaining tuning stability and the finishes on both of them still look as if they just came out of the box after all these years. I use them in my band and would never think of getting rid of them. Squier rocks , so now can I have a endorsement ? LOL.

Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Project
The Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Project moves creek flows out of a storm drain pipe into a dedicated pipe that then will flow into an open, natural creek channel through Beer Sheva Park to Lake Washington. This project will increase the quality and amount of habitat along the Lake Washington shoreline for threatened juvenile Chinook salmon by creating additional riparian habitat and provide an environmental amenity in the park for everyone to enjoy and experience. The project will also include pathway improvements, a new pedestrian bridge over the creek channel and a new art piece within the park. These envisioned improvements can be seen in the graphics shown at right.
The Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Project will be constructed jointly with Seattle Public Utilities' 52nd Ave. S. Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Reduction Project. The joint project will include the installation of new pipes in 52nd Ave. S. right-of-way from Rainier Ave. S. to S. Henderson St., and the S. Henderson St. Right-of-way, from 52nd Ave. S. to Beer Sheva Park.
Project Schedule
The current construction schedule is as follows:
- The construction contract has been awarded to MidMountain Contractors, Inc.
- The Notice to Proceed was issued to MidMountain on December 5, 2013
- Expected start for onsite construction January 2014
- Construction complete by October 2014*
- Plant establishment through September 2015*
*Date depends upon the construction of Mapes Creek channel in Beer Sheva Park
The Mapes Walkway is expected to be closed from mid-March through July 2014.
Temporary Construction Impacts
Traffic around the park will be affected, but access to the boat launch will be maintained throughout construction. General construction impacts will include closure of portions of Beer Sheva Park, temporary closure of the 52nd Ave. S. Walkway and delays to traffic and Metro transit service on S. Henderson St. and Seward Park Ave. S.
August 1, 2013 Update
The Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Project is currently experiencing budgetary constraints. While design is complete, we are investigating options for lowering project construction costs. We are also looking into additional funding options for construction. A decision about whether to construct this project this year will be made in September 2013.
October 11, 2012 Update
SPU has completed the 60% design for the 52nd Ave. S. CSO Reduction and Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Projects. View plans (pdf).
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) "Notice of Proposed Land Use Action" sign was installed at Beer Sheva Park for several weeks, with the comments period ending on October 12, 2012.
And, finally, you may have seen bright yellow signs attached to several trees in the project area for a while. These trees in the public right-of-way and will have to be removed for the work; nearly half of the 34 trees are less than 3 inches in diameter. When the work is completed, we will plant 24 new trees to replace them.
August 14, 2012 Community Meeting
Rainier Beach community members and interested neighbors gathered at the Rainier Beach Library on Tuesday, August 14th, to learn more about the design for restoring Lower Mapes Creek through Beer Sheva Park; the underground utility work along the Mapes Walkway, 52nd Ave. S. and S. Henderson St. next summer.

Community comments and questions (pdf)
Back2School Bash
On Saturday, August 11, SPU set up an information table at the "Back 2 School Bash" in Beer Sheva Park from noon to 4 p.m. The event, sponsored by the Rainier Beach Community Empowerment Coalition, drew hundreds of attendees, mostly families with children.
Many visited SPU's table to learn more about the project that will bring a new creek channel through the park. "Before and After" graphics were displayed and project brochures were distributed in English, Spanish, Chinese, Somali and Tagalog. View the project brochure (pdf) English
The outreach team also promoted the community meeting on Tuesday, 8/14th, at Rainier Beach Library.
Artist Selected – John Grade
The combined Lower Mapes Creek Restoration Project and 52nd Ave. S. CSO Reduction Project will receive $200,000 in Percent for Arts funding. Accordingly, the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture issued a call for artists' proposals in the spring. A panel of artists, Rainier Beach community members, Seattle Parks & Recreation staff and SPU staff ultimately selected Seattle artist John Grade to create a permanent, site-specific design for the project. John attended the community meeting on August 14th, where people had a chance to meet him and talk briefly about his approach to the commission. Learn more about the artist >

One of our favorite activities is choosing a squirrel and giving it a good chase. The squirrel better be fast because we can really run. Now, if we could just get up the tree...
Comments (17)
we think this blog is the woofiest!!! thanks for sharing about your antics with chasing the squirrels, we can't chase the ones around here right now snow is in the way, but come Spring---watch out furry tailed creatures!!!
I love your new blog. I am a miniature Lab, living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I follow all of your adventures with my Mom and Martha's show is our all time favorite. I like to chase squirrels, too!
Hi my name is Coco and I love your blog site. I am a Jack Rusell terrier that lives with my mom and dad here in Riverside California. Mom & Dad tape Martha's show everyday and watch it at night after dinner. Mom said the pictures of Francesca & Sharkey chasing the squirrel are so cute. I don't have any squirrels to chase, instead I spend most of my day chasing lizards and and waiting for the gophers to pop their heads up from their underground homes. There are coyote's that live in the canyon right next to my house. I will tell you about my encounter with a coyote someday.

my 2 kitties and i love the new blog!! we look forward to following your adventures francesca and sharkey!
Back in my heyday, I'd've been able to take that pesky squirrel up ANY tree! I'm an old boy, now, and have arthritis and don't play too awful much anymore. I need my rest, you know... If you'd've called me ahead of time, I'd've met up with you and we could've tried to get 'im together! I've always wondered what one of those gray furry-tailed wonders tasted like! Mrrrow. =^..^=
Bonjour! Sharkey!
It's Shoeboy, here! I knew you and I would have something in common. I have been chasing squirrels for years. Only once did I catch one, and it was the same day my mom took me to the Vet and had some kind of altering done...thought humans went to the Tailor for that kind of thing! Anyway, Sharkey, I thought I'd share a little bit about myself...Mostly, I like to think deep into the "whys" and "hows" of the universe, you know, "time" and how it travels: for example, we dogs live 7 years compared to a human's "one" year; so I ask you, my dear boy, when they leave us in the car for an hour, it's really like being in there for 7 hours! But I don't mind, I love the car, don't you?
Gotta go for now. Have fun and tell Francesca that I'm brushing up on my french...she's SO wonderful! I'd like to spend a lifetime with her...or seven!
P.S. I mean, tell Francesca I'm brushing up on my French AND my gums!!! And OMG! Sharkey, Pardon Moi! Please excuse my inability to "viva" the difference!... I tend to do many things backwards...I also like to spell things backwards...DOG=GOD, yeah, a lot of dogs have seen that one, and I'm skirting the issue...Sharkey, I'm so sorry for thinking you were a boy...but when I sniffed your tail I didn't see anything back there...I don't have anything back there and I'm a boy...so I just assumed...("Well, it's kind of a relief...I always kept it to myself but Sharkey really is a cutie, too...oh, but Francesca...BUT WAIT!...Why don't I have ANYTHING back there??? OMG!!! I suppose THAT was the 'alteration' at the Vet's that day...what's it all mean and why are they sending the Vets off to war? I hope they come home soon...") [Wagging in full-tilt] Well! I do declare!, Sharkey Dog! Don't that beat all? You know what this means, don't you?!?...It means that you and Francesca aren't seeing each other! And I can ask her out on a date! [Sudden wag-stop] Oh, but wait...is she seeing some other lucky dog? [wag-stop&tuck] (Uh, oh...this is getting embarrassing...I've heard all about the Frenchies being very uninhibited in their free-to-love lifestyles...) Or maybe you two beauties are an item? A pas de deux? Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that! [Tail in panache position] Tout de mere! If either of you girls need a mag-pie mutt on your side, I'm there for you! En ami, Shoeboy.
Hi, guys. I'm Hunter. I'm actually a bird dog, but since we moved to Florida there are no ground birds here so I found I like to chase the squirrels. Our squirrels here are disappearing squirrels. I chase them full speed then all of a sudden whenever they get near a tree they just disappear. I think there must be a small secret squirrel door on the backside of the trees here.I look all around the bottom of the tree but the squirrel is just gone. Then I get side tracked by my mom laughing at something. This happens every time. And if there are other people around, they laugh too. I think they know about the secret squirrel tree doors and they're just not letting me in on it. In the pictures here, Francesca and Sharkey seem to be looking UP at something. Surely the squirrels don't run UP the trees do they?? I must check this out very soon!
Loved the squirrel pictures!! Do you think you could put a small video of you two chasing a squirrel? Love those action shots!!
Wow! Your own blog! What a great idea you've had! We have some squirrels that come right up to my door (Mom's named them George and Gracie) and I bark and scare them away but, I'm not allowed to chase them. My yard isn't enclosed so Mom's afraid I'll go to close to the street. I'm a 5# Chihuahua and I live in Missouri. I can't wait to read more of your stories!
Well - Francesca and Sharkey made a day at the tv studio look like so much fun it nearly took my breath away to see that I could go squirrel-hunting with them!!

Hi from rural NC. You guys chase squirrels. They don't chase you back. Here in farm country we chase wild Turkeys, and being Dachshunds we sometimes get chased back. We don't recommend chasing skunks. Whewww..... We had to sleep in the carport in our kennels after that misadventure.. Our favorite thing to do is chase Quail. They waddle pretty fast and will fly too. Then we come back to the house and take a long nap. It is a great way to spend the afternoon.
Bonjour! Sharky and Francesca, you think that the skunk was troubling, when i was a puppy i was chasing a cat , i thought, than mommy said i was chasing after a possium. ha i am a city dog and now live in virginia. what am i suppose to know. But i am trying to adjust to this lifestyle, as there are a lot of different animals around in this part of the country. Have a good day! a big lick to the both of you. Woof Judy
Woof! Woof! Greetings from your favorite Scottie fans. We have been known to get into a bit of trouble too, just as long as it doesn't interfere with our napping. Thanks for The Daily Wag, Finnegan & Fiona
My name is Dash. I'm Jack Russel/Beagle. My goal in life is to catch a squirrel. I have developed a great zigzag way of walking when Joyce take me for a walk so that I can look at every yard on both sides of the street for squirrels.Sometimes she lets me loose to chase but they get up that darned tree every time. I caught a mouse once but I didn't know what to do with it so I gave it to Joyce. She didn't seem to thrilled. I live with two Bassets. They just sleep.
that looks like fun!

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Jan 24, 2012
The federal tax system has grown increasingly complex over the past several decades with the introduction of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), new and expanded corporate and individual tax expenditures, and other special provisions. Policy makers and economists have discussed how a value-added tax (VAT) could be used to both raise revenue and simplify the tax system. Meanwhile, the United States is the only member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that does not employ a VAT.
This paper, written by the Tax Policy Center (TPC) and sponsored by the Pew Fiscal Analysis Initiative, is designed to help policy makers better understand the impact of a VAT if used to simplify the tax system. It analyzes a proposal by Michael Graetz, a Columbia University law professor and tax expert, that would introduce a VAT and reform the individual and corporate income tax systems. Graetz's plan is one of the few proposals that include a VAT as part of a more comprehensive tax reform that is currently being discussed by policy makers and tax policy experts. The paper analyzes the effect the proposal, if fully implemented in 2015, would have on federal revenues and spending, the deficit, the distribution of the tax burden, and the new system's compliance costs.
This is the third in a series of papers that analyzes different components of a VAT.

Informer Power Users Roadshow
Entrinsik is hitting the road on a five-city tour to educate users on how they can utilize the more advanced features of Informer to extend their reporting capabilities. Each 3-day event is designed for Informer administrators, power users and IT staff who want to expand their technical knowledge of Informer in order to best leverage their organizational investment.
The Roadshow consists of two one-and-a-half day classes. The first class discusses using JavaScript in Informer calculated columns. We start by covering some basics of JavaScript in case users are not familiar with the language, since knowing JavaScript is not a prerequisite. We then proceed to look at different examples of the types of calculated columns that can be written in Informer. We show how to concatenate fields together (e.g. first name and last name); do math calculations on numeric values; manipulate dates; and handle multi-valued fields (for UniData-based clients). Each topic has a series of exercises to reinforce the material, and some have more advanced challenges.
The second class in the Informer PowerUsers Road Show gives users the ability to learn about plugins, which allow you to extend the functionality of Informer. Some plugins we cover include single-sign-on authentication, so users are automatically logged into Informer; row-level security, to secure individual rows of data based on the user running the report; look-and-feel, to change the color scheme and other cosmetics for Informer; and dashboard plugins that add data providers or visualization components. This workshop is much more technical and does require experience with programming in Java.
The classes can be taken independently. Individual classes are $750, or $1400 if you decide to take them both. Below is a list of dates for upcoming Roadshows.
|May 21-23, 2013
|Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, IN
Other dates and locations will be announced as they are scheduled.
If you have additional questions about the Informer Power Users Roadshow, please email them to email@example.com.
Web-based Sales Desk
Enrole's largest component of the system, in terms of function, is an information-loaded sales desk dashboard. The sleek and highly intuitive Sales Desk is your one-stop dynamic dashboard app where staff can make multiple registrations and manage the entire database of students, courses, instructors, facilities and historical records. Save in-progress carts to finish processing later, change existing orders with simplicity to amend fees, quantities, or taxes, and quickly substitute or transfer persons to alternative suggested courses.
Each dashboard is separated into quadrants for easy and organized viewing with hyperlinks to everything. Recent person, recent order transactions are highly visible, and upcoming sessions with enrollment flags and seat quantities available are right at your fingertips. The fourth quadrant provides a CRM component that takes the hassle out of information inquiries, and simplifies record keeping and workflow by notating comments and to-do tasks anywhere. With easy-to-use Tasks – you can record conversation streams, create actions for yourself and assign action items to others with priority status and due dates.
Registrations and partial payments are simple with the Pay Now option facilitating quick and easy distribution to single or many orders. Provide enhanced service to your customers from the interactive dashboard linked to all event information, complete all your back office fulfillment activities, view relevant real-time statistics on any system object, and make informed decisions, faster.
Web Shopping Cart
The Enrole integrated Web Shopping Cart provides a full e-commerce web solution without creating a parallel web operation.

Topic, fees, instructor, and facility information is automatically pulled together for instant Web display. Present your course offerings seamlessly within your website reducing your customer service / registration office workload by offloading data entry tasks to purchasers.
Customers can search your course catalog by keyword and/or by date, with session availability check and waitlist signup option. Allow current and past delegates to maintain their profiles online, view future orders, waitlist positioning, track order history, and determine class schedules. Enrole immediately processes payment cards with many integrated third party payment processor's ensuring a PCI compliant solution, with instant order confirmation. At the heart of the Enrole Shopping Cart is a sophisticated driver that connects many other web applications to your Enrole database.
Agile Reporting and BI Solution
Informer bridges the gap between traditional BI solutions and popular office software to provide users with a reporting, analytical and charting solution that is both powerful and easy-to-use, exporting in a variety of formats obtained from multiple datasources. Drag and drop, autocomplete and in-place editing provides users with an interactive web-based interface that is simple to navigate. Reports can be scheduled to provide email alerts warning of event/session capacity issues, identify follow-up action items, and gain immediate access to data with real time information to identify market opportunities, probable delegates and informed decisions.

Fast access to production databases including UniVerse, UniData, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, DB2 and others without complex ETL processes, data warehousing, or data cubing.

Fulfillment Management
Enrole provides you with professional-looking results on your program deliverables, including confirmation letters, attendee lists, rosters, tent cards, and badges by mail merge, or just about anything else you need and more including customizable templates. Set up Education Units for each program, and generate earned credit transcripts and certificates. Manage waitlists and complete session, instructor, facility and coordinator evaluations.
Using the Instructor Portal, your Instructors can quickly record attendance, no shows and grades over the web from their home, hotel room or classroom and accumulate attendee hours each day, as well as managing their contact information and online bios.
Event Planning
Enrole takes the worry out of managing your programs by providing a clean, integrated interface to define courses, topics, instructors or speakers, and events or conferences. In advance set up the schedules, multiple fee codes, and dates when you want them to appear in the Shopping Cart and let Enrole take care of the updates.
When you produce bar-coded badges, you can use the Check-In Kiosk Web Portal to quickly scan in attendees at your conferences and events which will check for registration, outstanding balances, and automatically record date and time of arrival and / or departures if needed. This bar code scanning feature also works for sub-sessions and more.
Event Profitability
Budget upcoming events and optimize best selection ROI using prior list key performance indicators. Make informed decisions by utilizing the budget / actual / variance and break-even analysis on registration numbers, fee amounts, fixed / variable / sunk costs, and on allocated marketing expenses. Analyze event P&L grouped by course, location, or topic area for any period range and forecast your numbers using the projected count facility.
All this powerful information at your fingertips from your Enrole database as well as producing reports, analytics, charting and dashboards using Informer.

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL has recently been succeeded by Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is based on SSL. SSL uses a program layer located between the Internet's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) layers. SSL is included as part of both the Microsoft and Netscape browsers and most Web server products. Developed by Netscape, SSL also gained the support of Microsoft and other Internet client/server developers as well and became the de facto standard until evolving into Transport Layer Security. The "sockets" part of the term refers to the sockets method of passing data back and forth between a client and a server program in a network or between program layers in the same computer. SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which also includes the use of a digital certificate.
TLS and SSL are an integral part of most Web browsers (clients) and Web servers. If a Web site is on a server that supports SSL, SSL can be enabled and specific Web pages can be identified as requiring SSL access. Any Web server can be enabled by using Netscape's SSLRef program library which can be downloaded for noncommercial use or licensed for commercial use.
TLS and SSL are not interoperable. However, a message sent with TLS can be handled by a client that handles SSL but not TLS.

Hi. My mom has a rough old house, and she didn't have enough heat on the first floor, so I added 3 new radiators by running 3/4 pex on the ceiling. Now the problem is I realized there is probably a lot of air in that pex up high, since it keeps coming down to the rad and then back up and down to the next one.
Should I add two boiler drains to the loop in the cellar and try and blow the air out?
Or maybe just one boiler drain and try and use the bleeder valves on the rads to let air/water out?
Or just let the air sit and keep using only the bleeder valves on the rads?

Austin >Ethnic Food Markets > Umi Sushi Bar & Grill
5510 S I H 35 Ste 400, Austin, TX | Directions 7874530.200425 -97.763577
Neighborhoods: South Congress, East Congress
Excellent Sushi – This is by far the best Sushi place that I have been to here in Austin. The environment alone is very welcoming and the staff only accents it. A few of my friends and I were out celebrating a birthday and it was amazing how attentive the staff was. There was a group of 6 of us and the server was great, didn't miss a beat. The food was excellent and the drinks were great, all at a very reasonable price for the entire night. I will continue to go to Umi whenever sushi is on the brain!
Best Sushi Restaurant in Austin! – This is truly a spectacular Sushi restaurant and by far the best in Austin! Plus, the prices are quite reasonable. I have eaten at a lot of restaurants around the world and this has one of the highest rankings in my opinion!!! The food is exquisite, the service is great, and the decor and atmosphere is very elegant and welcoming. Plus, the food presentation is very prompt and presented in a beautiful fashion!
Additionally, there is a huge selection of Sushi and it is purely mouth watering. Plus, the drinks are absolutely amazing and a definitely positive add-on to a great evening. I recommend that you definitely be adventurous so you can get an amazing experience at this phenomenal Japanese restaurant!!! Try various entrees, both hot and cold, as well as all the different types of sushi rolls, sashimi, soups, and desserts! Particularly, my favorites are the Shrimp Tempura, Tuna rolls, and the Caterpillar roll with eel and avocado covered with a delicious sauce on top!
This restaurant definitely appeases to everyone of different genures as well, whether going on a date night out or catching lunch with friends and co-workers!!! It is a must try and you will absolutely not be disappointed!!!
Best South Austin Sushi – Great Service and fresh sushi without driving downtown. We had my roommates 30th birthday dinner here and the food was excellent, they even let us bring our own cake. My fav is the shrimp tempura rolls with spicy mayo Soo yummy.
Service is very bad – Service is bad. Food is great.
The food is great and recommended – The resturants atmosphere is very dazziling and beautiful. I would suggest the Sashimi which I believe is very refreshing. I will also suggest some of the saki to those who like to drink. They are strong but very good. The service is pretty decent but there is times were you have to wait a time. The pricing for the food there is very decent and not really overpriced. When my friends and I went there for the first time it was very warming and we have been going there very other week. I would suggest that you sit at the sushi bar because not only do you get to see the great sushi being made but the chefs are very fun to talk to and are good company. Those who enjoy sushi I recommend to come to Umi.
UMI....EWWWWW – I am an avid sushi goer and this is the second to worst EVER and thats pretty darn bad...Absolutely tasteless and way overpriced...we were fooled by the nice atmosphere...I try to focus on that when I think of what I spent and still went to Sandy's hamburgers to finish the job...yummy!! So thank you Sandy for saving an almost devastating evening...lol
never go there – I have been going to umi for years. I always seat at the sushi bar with all my friends, just to visit one of our favorite chef (po) that he continues to excel in all categories. Once we know the Chef (po) no longer works there. We will never go back, cause don't worth the time, money, the quality is overpriced ,poor service and they are rude!
Umi has frozen fish and a bad attitude – Umi is a disaster. We waited 45 minutes (in an empty restaurant) for a roll and some sashimi. The fish finally came out and it was frozen solid. We were overcharged for the few things we ordered that were edible. The server was totally checked out and the manager was aggressive and unhelpful. The place reeks of cheap air freshener. Very lame experience all around. I will never go there again.
Best Sushi for the price – Now me and my wife are no sushi experts, and we pretty much stick to the basics when it comes to ordering. No eating what we don't recognize on the Menu. We know the Chefs there and they always treat us with great service. We never sit anywhere other that the sushi bar. Thats the place to be if you want the best service because the chefs are right across from you. Plus you can learn a litlle more about whats good and whats not by asking them. Overall great service and food. Heck, one of the chefs even went to my wedding. GREAT FOLKS DOWN AT UMI. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! :-)
not renowned for lunch i guess, but dinner is very good – I've never been there for lunch so I can't attest to or rebuke all these folks saying it was terrible, but I've been there 3 times for dinner and enjoyed each experience. I went there again last night with my homegirl, split the chef's dinner (pretty big sushi/sashimi platter for about $32), and stuffed myself with what we both considered Very good sushi. I'm not a buff, but I've eaten sushi several places around this city and this is top tier in my opinion. Only issue now is I think their cheapest cold saki is $21/carafe. it bites, but what would sushi be without saki?
service was very good (average sushi prep time)
food was very good
price was a little high, but sushi almost always is
the music was really bad techno (this last time only)

Judge someone by their attitude when the rain starts pouring out of no where. By how they handle having to wait in line for things. By how they react when the store runs out of their shoe size. A well planned and organized person is always presentable, but it's the raw unaccountability of the world that brings out the real you.

Mayor Villaraigosa tours Partnership for LA Schools
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa got a chance to show off several of his Partnership schools today. He toured the campuses with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and ended the visit with a commendation.
Villaraigosa and Superintendent Tom Torlakson took short tours of 99th Street Elementary School and Gompers Middle School, and ended the morning at Jordan High School in Watts.
Together with LA Unified School Board president Monica Garcia and Melanie Lundquist - who's given $50 million to fund the partnership - they visited classrooms and held a roundtable discussion with seniors.
The Partnership of LA Schools took over Jordan in 2010. The school had the highest Academic Performance Index score jump in the state this year – up 93 points from last year's 551 API.
Torlakson commended the staff for their dedication.

Every week, the editors and writers at iMore carefully select some of our favorite, most useful, most extraordinary apps, accessories, gadgets, and websites. This week's selections include several games, our favorite password manager, an excellent note-taking app that integrates with another great, yet different, note-taking service, an a couple music apps.
To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow along after the break!
The iPhone has been plagued with power button issues since the debut of the iPhone 4. We've seen complaints from many readers that their iPhone power buttons are completely recessed and no longer register when pressed. In some cases, they'll still respond but you have to press extremely hard. In severe cases, the power button actually recesses into the casing. In our experience, power button issues are almost as prevalent as home button issues. As it turns out, the power button itself isn't the culprit at all, the flex cable that sits underneath it is. After so many presses, it just becomes worn down and too thin.
Fortunately, a DIY repair can breath new life into your malfunctioning power button. It'll cost you a lot less than a brand new iPhone and give you lots more life out of your existing one. Regardless which iPhone you have, we've got the guide for you including step by step instructions and links to parts and tools for the suppliers we trust.
If you've got your DIY ninja pants handy, get 'em on and follow along...
Here we go again. Another Apple quarter that demonstrates long term strength in its business, and another quarter where Wall Street is waving its hands in the air claiming that the business is broken. Apple shares are down over $50 (10%) as I write this.
Always remember value investor Benjamin Graham's famous expression: In the short term the market acts like a voting machine. In the long term it acts like a weighing machine. Today, the voting machine dominates. But over the course of many product cycles, those daily votes amount to nothing. That's why the market is volatile, and why I focus on long term investing.
The iPhone has been prone to power button issues ever since the iPhone 4 made its appearance. As it turns out, the iPhone 4S isn't immune from stuck power buttons either. Over time, the cable wears down and causes the actual power button to become harder and harder to press. In some cases, it becomes completely recessed resulting in presses not even registering.
If this issue sounds like something you're iPhone 4S is experiencing, a DIY repair can get it back to normal with some patience and the right tools. It'll also cost a heck of a lot less than a brand new iPhone.
If you're up for it, follow along. And if you're not, follow along anyways and we'll refer you to the professionals that can do the repair for you.
Every week, the editors and writers at iMore carefully select some of our favorite, most useful, most extraordinary apps, accessories, gadgets, and websites. This week's selections include a Lightning cable accessory, an app that let's you dive into space exploration, a few games, a photo editor, and a Mac app for Apple developer account holders.
To see what we picked, follow along after the break!
If you've got an iPhone that's going on a few years old, you may notice that your battery doesn't hold a charge like it once did. That doesn't always have to mean you have to run out to buy a new iPhone. A replacement battery is actually not very costly and as luck may have it, it's one of the easiest DIY repairs when it comes to most iPhone models.
As long as you've got a little bit of patience, we can walk you through how to squeeze lots more life out of your iPhone with a brand new battery replacement.
Every week, the editors and writers at iMore carefully select some of our favorite, most useful, most extraordinary apps, accessories, gadgets, and websites. This week's selections include a couple games, an app that pulls up information about movies and television shows, an iBook about productivity, customer relations, and general business best practices, something for Doctor Who fans, an an app for Wikipedia.

The Quest To Keep Sunriver Resort's Golf Courses GREEN
By: Ryan Wulff, Head Superintendent Sunriver Resort's Meadows and Woodlands Golf Courses
I hop in my golf cart and head out onto the Woodlands Golf Course this past Tuesday. As the sun was rising, I pass a pack of deer grazing, a family of ducks feeding on the vegetation in one of our lakes, and I even spot a coyote on his way somewhere in a hurry. Many times I am asked by members and resort golfers about the environmental impacts of our golf course practices on our High Desert ecosystem. My response is easy as Sunriver Resort and Destinations Hotels & Resorts has made environmental stewardship not just a goal but our company's culture. Everything we do is done as environmental stewards, threading from our 66 holes of golf through every operation of our entire resort.
As I continue my morning drive around the course it's easy to observe this stewardship as my crew heads out and got the course set up. The fairway mowers head out with no buckets, the clippings on the fairways and roughs are returned into the soil. As the clippings decompose, nitrogen is released into the soil and becomes available for plant growth. This initiative alone reduces the amount of required fertilizer by 30% and still allows us to maintain a well manicure course.
As the crew with greens mowers hit the greens they remove grass clippings on both the tees and greens. These clippings are collected and composted in Sunriver Resort's compost area and are thoroughly mixed with leaves and wood chips. The compost is then used to repair divots left behind by golfers, especially by the more mass-divot-producing golfers - or as my team likes to call them - "hackers!"
As I head past the fourth hole and the sprinklers come on, I am staring over one of our lakes. The Woodlands was the first golf course in Central Oregon to use recycled water to irrigate the course. The Sunriver owned treatment plant treats the water and recycles it out back into the Woodlands lakes. The use of the water supplies the turf with nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous enabling us to reduce the amount of fertilizers that we apply anywhere from 20-50%. An update in 2006 to the irrigation system, which is an automated valve in head system, allows individual sprinkler head control. This system allows us to fine tune the irrigation system and maximize our watering efficiency.
We strive to continue to protect our wetland areas with native areas and buffer strips. These areas consist of native vegetation, and are unmaintained for the exception of noxious weeds that we remove by hand. These areas are essential as they reduce contaminates from surface runoff and, of course, no pesticides or fertilizers are applied within these areas.
My drive around the course is evident of our environmental practices, but it also highlights the sound agronomic turf grass management practices we implement; as healthy turf requires less pesticides. Practices that we complete on our course to ensure our turf remains healthy are:
- Aerification- aerification alleviates compaction, reduces thatch, increases water infiltration and rooting. In return you have healthier turf that can fight off disease with less use of pesticides
- Topdressing- The practice of working sand into the top layer of the green has benefits for the golfer as well as the heath of the turf. Topdressing gives a smoother, firmer surface that will receive shots better. Sand also helps with the dilution of thatch, modifies the soil structure to help water filtration and reduces scalping of the greens. Topdressing is a major contributor to plant health. Its simple healthy turf-less pesticides!
Something new at the Woodlands over the past two years is a new recycling program. We now don't just require our team to recycle, but we encourage our golfers to recycle too. We have established a viable recycling program on our golf courses and I ask all of our golfers out there to assist us with this practice.
Environmental stewardship has to come from not just golf course maintenance but everyone who utilizes the course. Our goal is to not just have green grass -but to be green.

Wedding with a unique difference.
So let me set the scene……. pre wedding shoot south bank of the river Thames London – backdrop the millenium eye and the houses of parliament and our groom to be was on a mission to get back to work in the city before his lunch break was over. To add to the pressure of all this Simon and Aninder were having trouble finding us as we had all never met in person before and Aninders blackberry had been left on the kitchen table at home so we had no means what so ever of getting in touch – and time was ticking away. We did pull it off and the results were great, both Simon and Aninder were so such an easy-going couple we jelled instantly. How to plan your wedding in 6 weeks… and it be a total success sounds like the title of a best-selling book but that's exactly what events expert Aninder did… with fireworks.
A wedding with a unique difference was planned and Aninder wore a traditional English wedding dress for the day (stunning) and a traditional Asian wedding dress for the evening, colour was on the menu throughout the whole venue – Hagley Hall Birmingham – so that meant great photography opportunities from the word go and the icing on the cake was to be Simon surprise when the sun had set and total darkness had cloaked the whole grounds.

Volvo Trucks is now taking the next concrete step towards carbon dioxide-neutral road transport. Within the framework of a broad-based joint project, field tests are being conducted with 14 trucks running on Bio-DME – a fuel that combines a low environmental imprint with high energy efficiency.
Total deliveries from the Volvo Group's truck operations in August amounted to 7,109 vehicles. This was a decrease of 52% compared with the year-earlier period. In addition to continued low demand, deliveries for August were also affected by a prolonged vacation period.
The Volvo Group has developed a computer game to teach the principles of lean production, a concept designed to increase the efficiency of working processes. In this game, the players can see how different changes impact efficiency and profitability. The results indicate that what is known as serious gaming is an excellent complement to training at work.
Volvo Treasury AB (publ) has today published its semi-annual report for 2009.
The total deliveries from the Volvo Group's truck operations in July amounted to 8,899 vehicles. This was a decrease of 54%, compared with the year-earlier period.
Environmentally adapted fuel is one step on the road to reducing carbon emissions at Volvo Logistics. The first petrol station in western Sweden selling ACP Diesel Bio30 is now opening at the Skandiahamnen port in Göteborg, close to Volvo's plants and the trans-shipment terminal in Arendal. This is the result of a cooperation between IKEA, H&M, DHL, Preem and Volvo Logistics.
For the Volvo Group, the second quarter of 2009 remained difficult in terms of earnings in the wake of the exceptionally rapid decline in demand that followed the crisis in the financial system. The Group was, however, successful in reducing inventories, which contributed to a positive development in working capital.
Volvo Powertrain has signed an agreement with the white collar unions in Göteborg and Malmö regarding work time and income reduction.
The historic venue of Alexandra Palace in London provided a fitting backdrop today (Tuesday 7th July) for the world debut of the first of a new generation of highly fuel efficient and environmentally friendly Volvo Hybrid Double Deck buses to Arriva London.
Volvo Trucks in India has secured an order for 125 trucks. It is the company's largest order since being established in the country.

The trash gathered in piles throughout the arena, papers and water bottles clumped together after a night of celebration. Boot prints still lingered on the Comcast Center's floor, muddy impressions from when the Maryland students stormed the court for the second time in a month following Saturday's wild victory over Duke. As a cleaning crew swept its way through the seats, a few workers began unrolling mats. A gymnastics meet would be held in 19 hours.
The revelry continued well into the night along Route 1. Fans basked in an upset that at once gave these starved supporters their biggest meal in years and put the Terrapins back on the national radar. But within Comcast Center, life moved on. Coach Mark Turgeon gave his team an early curfew. Maryland would enjoy the 83-81 upset, its first win over Duke in seven games, and then get back to work. Boston College awaits Tuesday.

It's easy to see why genealogy is a popular hobby for millions of people. Through diligent research, you can discover more about your personal history. As you research your family, you gain a new perspective on your own origins and family traditions. In the past, casual and professional genealogists had to conduct their research in person at town halls and records facilities. But the advent of online research makes family information easily accessible.
As your research reveals more and more about your family history, you can use genealogy software to organize your research and map out your ancestry with great detail. Genealogy software like Legacy, Family Tree Maker and RootsMagic provide templates for comprehensive reports to help organize and chart your progress as you go back in time. Sharing your findings with your living relatives and even working together on maps, charts and graphs about your shared ancestry will bring you closer. After digging, you may even find new relatives through your research. To learn more, take a look at our articles about Genealogy Software.
It helps to have an end goal in mind before you purchase any type of genealogy software. Some software is designed with professional genealogists in mind, and others are more basic and are geared toward researchers who are new to family history. Consider the following categories when you're deciding on the best genealogy software for you.
Feature Set
If you're new to research or not sure where to start, look for genealogy software that connects to online databases and syncs documents directly to your records. Genealogy software for all levels should include research and organizing tools. Look for programs that import and export charts and use online databases to help you find more materials.
Reporting and Publishing
The more tools for customizing your charts and reports, the better. You should be able to adjust the look and content of each report or graphic to your liking. The best genealogy software packages offer templates and backgrounds to give a professional look to your reports. Flexible reporting is also a key feature. Every family is different, so you'll want to look for reporting capabilities that will let you include extended family and varied relationships, like stepchildren, adoptive family members and multiple marriages or divorces. Different charts highlight different types of information. Most genealogy software can create a basic family tree, but more advanced programs offer full reports on family patterns or a narrative report that focuses on an individual or branch's story.
Citation and Documentation
Citing and reporting your sources are an important part of the genealogical process. Look for software that can integrate a variety of print and online materials, one that can format your source into a proper citation. This will give your research a professional look and will keep your resources organized. Plus, this makes it easy to share your research and sources with others.
Help and Support
Genealogy software should be easy to use regardless of your skill level. Some programs use in-depth terminology and may be confusing for beginners. Look for software with helpful dialogue boxes, online support or problem spotting capabilities to check your work for potential errors.
Advanced genealogy software can improve your family history research process by organizing, storing and retrieving the ancestry information you discover. As you learn more about your family history, this software can generate family trees and other reports that make it easier to share your research with family members or other genealogists. You can also meet living relatives you never knew you had. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new branch of relatives to visit for Thanksgiving.
