So you've realized you're tired of your messy garage, home, or workplace and you need more space. More and more people are turning to self storage everyday to manage inventory, maintain records, or to simply de-clutter their home or workspace. Storage comes in a variety of shapes and sizes; ranging from drive-up outdoor self storage units to indoor climate controlled storage. Every facility has its own unique characteristics with some offering RV storage, vehicle storage, and even wine storage.
This guide was written for anyone who is interested in using storage for business or personal reasons. We want to help the entire process go as easily as possible, and to let people know how to best organize and protect their goods in self storage units. The self storage guide below will lead you through an introduction of what mini self storage facilities have to offer in terms of amenities and storage types, as well as explain how to best go about packaging and moving your goods into your mini storage unit.
Self Storage facilities rent self storage space to individuals and businesses on a month-to-month basis at an affordable price compared to residential and office space. Unlike other forms of storage, you personally manage what you put in and take out of your storage unit; with no special machinery needed to access the contents of your self storage space at any time.
There are various forms of self storage types today, ranging from drive-up units that can be accessed directly from the driveways within a facility to indoor climate controlled units where heat, cold, and moisture are monitored to protect tenant's belongings from being affected by drastic daily and seasonal changes in climate.
The following are some examples of the ways people use storage today:
*Only some of our facilities offer car storage and RV Storage. Check our self storage locations to see if a facility near you offers these amenities!
You will find a variety of different amenities offered at each self storage facility, depending on it's age, quality, and type. Examples of some amenities are drive-up units, climate controlled storage, individually alarmed units, 24 hour surveillance, well lit hallways and grounds, 24 hour unit access, wine storage, package drop-off and business centers. Different amenities will stand out to you as you compare self storage facilities; and it is important to choose a facility depending on what is important to you. For more information on the different amenities offered at our self storage facilities, look in our self storage amenities section.
As more people choose self storage every day; the range of sizes, types, and features offered continues to expand. Whether you own a business, or are looking to clear out your house or garage, self storage is an easy solution for short or long term storage. The following guide will give you a quick overview of how to plan your move from choosing a unit size to preparing your belongings to be stored. As with a lot of things, it is worth measuring twice to only cut once, and some simple planning can save you a lot of money and time when it finally comes to storing your belongings.
It is important to know ahead of time what exactly you plan to store in your self storage unit, and for how long you plan to be storing it. As people use storage for all different types of reasons, you may want to ask yourself the following questions before storing your goods:
Once you have an idea of how much stuff you are planning on storing, call a facility manager and ask questions to determine if you can fit your belongings in a smaller size to save money. Oftentimes, people think they need more space than they do, and end up paying more than is necessary. To reach a facility near you, visit our self storage locations page, and ask one of our facility managers to help you decide exactly what size you need.
Here is a quick overview of everything you should know if you're planning on moving your belongings into self storage units.
1. Decide what day you will be moving your belongings into storage
2. Visit the facility ahead of time and consult the storage manager on what type of storage you will need—often times you will find that you did not need as large of a unit as you thought
3. Take inventory of what you have
4. Visit our size guide to help you determine exactly what size you may need
5. Call ahead of the date of your move and reserve the unit you need—some facilities will give you extended hours if you need to move in very early or are running late
6. If you're planning on staying for a long time, ask the manager what specials they offer for long term storage—oftentimes you can save a lot of money by paying ahead of time
7. We offer free move-in trucks at most of our facilities, so it pays to call ahead to ensure one will be available on the day of your move
1. Create a list of items that you need to store
2. Choose which items you want to keep with you and set them aside
3. Get an idea of how many boxes you will need and which items you may need access to while your goods are in storage
How you pack and store your goods will determine how well they fare in the move and storage process. It is very important to label each box that you place in storage, so that you know what is in the box and where it should be placed in the unit. Some common examples of ways to label your boxes to prepare them for your move-in day are as follows:
1. Fragile
2. Load First
3. Load Last
4. Do Not Load
Boxes should also include labels describing what is in the box, in case you have to retrieve something at a later date from your unit. Try to keep similar goods in boxes together, and label what exactly is in the box. An easier way to do this is to label boxes according to what rooms they are from with a brief description of what is inside. That way, you will know where to move the boxes to once you go to your new place.
The following is some common moving equipment you should consider using when moving your items into storage.
Utility Dolly
Utility dollies allow you to move several boxes and other heavy objects with ease and comfort in and out of your storage unit. We offer utility dollies at all of our facilities for our customers' convenience.
Appliance Dolly
Appliance dollies are specifically designed to carry large appliances, and keep your valuables securely in place with their adjustable sizes and straps. Oftentimes appliance dollies can be rented with your moving truck, and are highly recommended if you plan on moving any large items such as refrigerators, TV's, or stoves.
Furniture Pads
Furniture pads keep your furniture safe from scuffs and scratches during the move, and help keep them in mint condition while they're stored. Old blankets can also be used to protect your goods during the move.
Moving Truck
If you plan on moving a lot of stuff, and are not planning on using a moving company, we highly recommend you use a moving truck. Not only will you protect your car from dings and damage to the upholstery, but a moving truck will help the entire moving process go faster and smoother. Many of our mini storages offer moving trucks for rent to help make your move as convenient as possible. Remember to reserve a moving truck ahead of time to ensure that you have it on the day you plan to move in. Again, we highly stress that if you do not use a moving company you should rely on moving equipment to protect yourself from injuries, and to make the move go as smoothly as possible.
The following are some general storage tips that should be followed when packing your unit:
1. Keep items you'll need frequently near the front of the unit
2. Create walkways in your unit to maximize the amount of items you will have access to
3. Place pallets and boards on the floor of your unit
4.Stack no higher than 3-4 boxes high
5. Use bubble wrap to wrap delicate goods
6. Never place heavy boxes on top of boxes containing delicate goods
7. Do not place boxes, linens, or furniture directly on the unit floor
8. Fill all open spaces in boxes with packing material
9. Place blankets over furniture to protect it from scratches, dings, and dust
10. Leave doors to appliances slightly ajar to allow them to breathe
11. Review your contract as to what you can store; items that are flammable or combustible may never be stored
12. Do not store any perishable goods
13. Drain any machinery of fluids before storing to prevent possible leakage and damage to your goods
14. Trash cans are perfect for storing garden and cleaning tools such as brooms and rakes
15. Always use the highest quality locks available for purchase. For a couple more dollars you can purchase a disc lock at the facility, which are much more secure
16. Do not store family heirlooms or high priced jewelry in your unit. A safety lock box at a bank is much more appropriate for such items
17. Dehumidifiers can be utilized if you live in a humid area
18. Pots and pans can be stored in large furniture or refrigerators to save space
19. Metal and wood should be treated and covered before storing
20. Shelving is perfect if you plan on storing businesses records
21. Keep negatives of photos with you if you can
22. Plastic garbage bags can be used to store pillows and smaller items such as kids toys and sports balls.
23. Never put food in your unit
The following are some general guidelines on how to protect different items you're going to be storing during the moving and storing process:
Appliances should be cleaned and dried before storing. For refrigerators and freezers, remember to leave the door slightly ajar. It is especially important to clean stoves and cooking equipment before storing them. You can stack boxes on larger appliances such as freezers and refrigerators, which can also be used as extra storage space inside. If you know you will not need to access an appliance until you move into your next home or office, you should store it towards the back of your unit in a less accessible space.
Metal Items
All exposed metal items should be wiped down with a cloth with some machine oil to protect them from rusting.
Books, Documents, and Records
First and foremost, do not leave boxes on the floor as they may absorb moisture through the concrete. Instead place all boxes on pallets so that there is space between the boxes and the floor. When books are placed on boxes, they should be laid flat to protect their spines, and any extra spaces in the boxes containing books should be filled with packing . Be careful not to put fragile items in the same boxes as books as you risk the books moving and damaging your belongings. Remember to store documents and records with labels facing outwards, so you can easily identify and retrieve a document or record. Records and documents should be organized according to year and type as each state has limitations on how long you are required to keep legal, health, and personnel files.
Linens, Bedding, and Clothes
We recommend all clothes be stored in wardrobe boxes to protect them from dust and pests. Linens, bedding and clothes can also be folded and stored in dressers, chests, and other furniture with extra drawers. Never store boxes of clothes directly on the ground.
Glasses and Dinnerware
We recommend that dish packing boxes be purchased to store fragile glasses and dinnerware. When storing glasses and dinnerware in regular boxes, you should individually wrap each piece. Place padding filler on the top and bottom of the box and fill any open spaces with packing, so that the pieces do not rub against each other or move around. Never place heavy objects on top of boxes filled with fragile dinner or glassware.
Disassemble all beds and tables, and wrap their legs in paper or bubble wrap—in cases where tables will not disassemble, the best idea is to lay padding on the floor and store the table upside down. Keep all upholstery off of the floor, and wrap mattresses in mattress covers to protect them from dust and pests. Mattresses and sofas should be stood on their side to conserve space and utilize the height of your unit as most units are 9-11' tall. We also recommend that all furniture be draped in dust covers to protect them from dust, pests, and possible moisture depending on your climate. Lastly, if you live in an area that is subject to extreme heat or cold, we highly recommend renting a climate controlled unit to prevent warping caused by drastic changes in temperature. If no climate controlled units are available in your area, the next best thing is to choose an indoor unit that faces the hallway as it will be less subject to changes in temperature as opposed to drive-up units.
Seasonal Decorations
To store seasonal holiday decorations, we recommend that you place them in the original packing, or place them securely in boxes; making sure to fill any gaps with packing material. As you will have to use decorations at least once a year, we recommend that you keep them in an accessible part of the unit with the label facing outwards. Don't place heavy boxes, chairs, or furniture on top of boxes containing holiday decorations.
Electronic data should be backed up in several different ways before being stored in storage. Place all electronic material in boxes to protect them from dust and moisture depending on the climate in which you will be storing. Fill all extra spaces in the box with packing material to keep electronics from moving and being damaged. Climate controlled units are recommended if you will be storing sensitive electronic equipment.
Lamps and Light Fixtures
Lamps and light fixtures should be stored in boxes filled with packing paper. Lampshades should be kept separate and placed in dust covers. Lampshades should be the highest item in a stack of boxes to keep from being bent or torn.
Mirrors and Pictures
Mirrors and pictures should be placed in dust covers and placed on their edge. Do not stack anything on top of mirrors or pictures as they may morph or break.
A good rule of thumb when storing photos is to make sure they do not become too hot, cold, wet or dry. To ensure this, we recommend you store photos in climate controlled units, as they will prevent extreme temperature fluctuations and excessive humidity.
Prohibited Goods
Consult your storage agreement to find out what can and cannot be stored in your storage unit. Some common things that cannot be stored in any storage unit are live animals, perishable items such as food items, explosives, flammable liquids and fuels, toxic materials, firearms, jewelry, irreplaceable items, used tires, drugs or drug paraphernalia.
Severe hot or cold weather can damage items stored in storage units. Important documentation for your home or business, computer equipment and electronics, wood or leather furniture, photographs, books, clothing, artwork, and other valuable possessions can be destroyed if not properly protected. If you live or work in a geographic area with these weather conditions, climate-controlled storage units provide the ideal solution for storing your personal or business-related items.
Climate control maintains a steady temperature of 55–80° using central air conditioning and heat. Maintaining a controlled environment prevents:
Climate-controlled storage units are typically part of a finished building with indirect heating and cooling (compared to air conditioners or heaters within individual units). The enclosed environment of these buildings can also provide increased protection from dust, dirt, and flooding. It also provides a pleasant temperature while you are retrieving, or organizing your stored belongings. In most cases there is an additional cost for climate control; however, it is ultimately an excellent return on investment in loss protection.
How to Choose a Climate-Controlled Space
Follow these steps to determine whether climate control is an appropriate investment for your needs:
Step 1: Consider Your Geographic Area
As a general rule, the temperature in climate-controlled storage units should not fall below freezing in the winter, or rise above 90°F (32°C) in the summer. If the geographic area where you live or work exceeds 90 degrees in the summer but does not freeze in the winter, air-conditioning would be a viable option to consider. Same with only extreme cold temperatures – a heated storage unit would work well. If your area experiences both extreme hot and cold temperatures, climate control may provide the best benefit.
Step 2: Consider the Type/Value of Items you Plan to Store
Some items are more sensitive to temperature fluctuations than other items. Certain wooden furniture, fabrics, electronics, and other materials may warp or breakdown due to extreme conditions. If you are storing these type of items, climate control may be a valuable option. Also, if you are storing higher priced, valuable items, it may be wiser to store in climate controlled units to prevent any damage due to weather conditions.
Self Storage allows you to archive your business files, or place your possessions in a safe place for any amount of time.
A cramped workspace can make it difficult to find what you need, distracting you from the business at hand. Excess inventory, samples, supplies and paperwork tend to pile up quickly in small spaces, requiring extra effort to keep things organized. You may have considered renting additional commercial space or trying to squeeze more room in your home-based office, but were turned off by the cost and the excessive time it would take to organize the project. That's why, for today's businessperson, self storage is a cost effective and efficient solution.
Business Storage Uses
Most of the time, people do not put much thought into how they are going to pack and store their belongings. By planning ahead, you can conserve space (possibly rent a smaller unit), and protect your goods from being damaged. A little planning can save a lot of time and frustration leading to an easier, hassle-free moving experience.

North , how did you do???
FL was out of this one, this time.
Sunny and hot in big B.R. The Gulf Coast will have it's share of My God the World's coming to an end this hurricane season.
I made out pretty good....until my friend called my at 10pm to take her and her son to the hopital, that was some of the worst weather i have ever driven through. I am shocked my power wasnt knocked out.
Dealing with clean up here at work. Still affecting a few airfields we work with a lot, so people are pinging hard. Not a lot of fun, but I'm really glad I had the last couple days off.
Well. And it's "fare".
The talking heads on all the local broadcast stations have been on for over 36 hours now. They keep repeating the same thing at the same places. Ugh. It rained and there were high winds. It flooded and trees are down. Please stop.
Last night around 6 PM they told me I should fill my bathtub with water in case I need to flush my toilet or clean myself up. Then, at 10:30 PM when they feared tornados might touch down they told me to seek refuge in my basement. However, if you didn't have a basement (I don't) they told me to take the cushions off my sofa and take cover in my bathtub.
I don't think they thought their advice through because there I was, sitting in a cold tub of water with sofa cushions over my head, which are still soaked, waiting for the tornados to pass. There has to be a better way. :D

"These stickers are very beautiful for a little girl. I use them as envelope seals for my daughter's stationery. The design is so pretty and the soft colors are perfect. They are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be but still a good size."
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
"I found this design because I called their customer service to ask for a recommendation for gift tag design that will compliment the birthday invitation I have picked out. Luckily, the customer service lady suggested this design and infact, she helped me customize the text i wanted in the tag. Excellent quality on papers and the color is so subtle. Not overwhelming pink! Cannot wait for guest to see the gift tags!!! Just love it!"
"I received my order very fast. I loved the colors and decided to use them for the color scheme for my daughter's 1st birthday party. The tags are a great size and I was happy that they are adhesives so can be used as a sticker."
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."

Writing down what my husband says as he watches The Bachelorette
- James: Look at these guys.
- James: The only way to get on this show is if you say yes to these questions: Are you a dick?
- James: Do you like tight black t-shirts and arm curls?
- James: Do you like attention?
- James: Do you have an arm tattoo?
- James: Why aren't any of these guys talking about fucking her? That's ALL these guys would be talking about without the cameras there.
- James: Look at these guys. Dick. Dick. Dick. Dick.
- James: I can't believe this woman put her kid on this show. "My Dad died, and then my Mom went on this whore show twice."
- James: This guy is totally Will Forte.
- James: What!? This guy just answered a question with a question.
- James (valley girl accent): "I'm not feeling butterflies!! I'm just feeling sick that I have to sit with this guy who answers my questions with questions for another 2 hours."
- James: She's crying because she's a total mess.
- James: I would hate to get murdered. That would be the fucking worst way to die ever. You'd just be like, "ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REAL?"
- James: As if this woman couldn't find a boyfriend without a TV show.
- James: A beard isn't really complete until you can put elastic bands in it, right? That's how I'll know when mine is done.
- James: When I was fat a few years ago, in all those pictures, can we just tell people that was your uncle?
- James: I'm going on The Bachelor. I'm so fucking done with you Kelly. I'm going on the Bachelor to meet one of these hot ladies who knows what they are looking for.
- James: The only thing Tony can do at this point is whip his pants down.
- James: I'm going skydiving. Chances of dying are 1:100000, chances of dying in a car 1:4000. I'm going to skydive into the pool. If I died because the chute didn't open, that's a pretty great story for the kids to tell their friends.
- James: I want a 60 day membership to this BJ's place.
- James: Look at this douchebag's hair.
- James: Nice fucking letter, man.
- James (Imitating Bachelor): "I have a son named Taylor. He's 5 and a totally sweet kid and he will absolutely bone your daughter Ricky."

- James: You can tell that guy got hit in the head.
- James: As if she's gonna pick the Party MC, she has a kid.
- James: She picked the Party MC. That's how you know this is buillshit. That's fantastic.
- James: You're a biology teacher man. You make 20K a year, what is THIS GIRL supposed to do with you, a biology teacher? She already knows where her vagina is.

When Pomona Raceway's Street Legal Drags program closed down in 2001, the average street car guy was essentially denied the privilege of racing at this iconic facility with the exception of one-off events that happened every few years. Due to residential complaints, racing at Pomona was restricted to NHRA events only and for someone with a street car Pomona's quarter-mile might as well have been located in Turkey. So when we heard that the NMCA was coming to SoCal with a new West Coast series and Pomona was one of the stops, we had to be there.
A place where both nostalgic and modern drag heroes battled it out over the years, there's something about this track that makes fans and racers proud to do what they do. A gathering of some of the coolest drag cars converged at Pomona the weekend of August 17-19, 2012, and we were there to cover the drag racing action. Editor Henry De Los Santos also competed in the NMCA's True Street category with his road-hugging C5 Corvette, "Twitch".
Chevys ruled in the heads-up categories that weekend; in Garrett Turbo Pro Street John Scialpi from Phelan, California, made Chevy fans proud when he was able to take down Joe Lepone Jr. with his supercharged Bel Air. Another Chevy winner, Al Jimenez, got past Rick Snavely's Mustang in the finals with a wicked 4.88 eighth-mile pass. Kevin Young in his third-gen Camaro got by Artis Houston's Nova in Drag Radial, 5.01 to 5.07. In the naturally aspirated heads-up class, N/A 10.5, Tony Aneian's big-block Chevy-powered Camaro bested the Ford of Don Bott. Mike Nordahl entered his Nova in three different classes and ended up winning in Hedman Hedders Nostalgia Street Car, beating Steve Cox in the final round. The other index classes were won by non-Chevys, but Bow Ties had a strong showing as a whole at this event. In the following pages, we show you some of the coolest Chevys we collected from the 2nd Annual Lucas Oil NMCA West Coast Shootout in Pomona.

The Research Archives of the Oriental Institute is a non-circulating collection of books and other publications relating to the ancient Near East for the reference and research of Oriental Institute faculty, staff, students and members. Its materials span the history of the ancient Near East from prehistoric times through the Late Antique period and reflect the interests and work of its users and benefactors.
In 1970 the library of the Oriental Institute was moved to the Joseph Regenstein Library and integrated with the newly consolidated collections of the University of Chicago Libraries. The faculty and staff of the Oriental Institute, feeling the need for a reference collection both more extensive than that provided by even the best of private collections maintained by members of the faculty and staff of the Oriental Institute, and more accessible than the university library system, decided to consolidate the various bibliographical resources available in the Oriental Institute.
The Research Archives, as this collection was called, opened in the Autumn of 1972. At that time the collections included the Director's Library (being primarily the private library of James Henry Breasted [Egyptology and general Near Eastern studies]); the Seele library [Egyptology, Archaeology]; the Edgerton library [Egyptology, Demotic and Greek Papyrology]; and remnants of the Megiddo field library [Syro-Palestinian Archaeology]. Since its founding, the Research Archives has benefited from the donation of important collections including the libraries of John Hadley [Assyriology]; Richard T. Hallock [Assyriology, Elamology]; Michael B. Rowton [Assyriology, Syro-Mesopotamian Studies]; Charles F. Nims [Egyptology], and Linda Ricketts [Demotic and Greek Papyrology]. In addition, many other individuals have made important contributions of individual titles or small collections, notably the Anna Bruce Mackenzie Memorial Collection [general Near East; Travel; Exploration].
The Research Archives is housed in the former quarters of the old Oriental Institute Library. The Reading Room, which was described by James Henry Breasted as "the most beautiful room in the building," retains most of the original decorative elements and furnishings from when the Oriental Institute was completed in 1931. Of particular note are the "Lotus" Window in the south wall, with its Egyptian-style design, the wood carvings on the north wall, and the elaborately painted ceiling. Overlooking the Reading Room is the Minstrel's Gallery, which now houses the periodicals collection. In recognition of generous support for the Oriental Institute Legacy Campaign, the Research Archives Reading Room is named THE ELIZABETH MORSE GENIUS READING ROOM.
The Oriental Institute has made a substantial commitment to complete the holdings of the Research Archives in the fields represented by the scholarship of its faculty and staff. To this end, individual volumes and complete runs have been (and continue to be) purchased to complete our holdings in serial and periodical publications. With holdings of over 45,000 volumes, the Research Archives is a unique resource for the study of the Ancient Near East.
Opening Hours / Access / Contact
The Research Archives is open to faculty, staff and members of the Oriental Institute; and to students in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. All others desiring to use the Research Archives are expected to enroll as members of the Oriental Institute. Information on membership is available in the lobby of the Research Archives, at the Suq in the Museum lobby, or from the Membership office (Room 233).

And the beat keeps running, running and running, running… It's now Week Four in the Cage Match Tournament, the final week for first round matchups. This past week was a wild one as we saw a near shutout and our first upset of the tournament both coming out of the Sawchuk Bracket. Let's hear the tail of the tape.
#1 Ryan Miller over #8 Sergei Bobrovsky – 61 votes to 1 vote.
One of the golden rules of sporting events is that you never ever, under any circumstances, say the word "shutout" when someone is on the verge of achieving a shutout, just like you never ever, under any circumstances, say the words "no hitter" or "perfect game" when someone is on the verge of pitching one. You just don't do it. Forum member Blayze was apparently oblivious to this rule when he got to typing about how Miller was on the verge of a shutout. It may have been an honest mistake but I blame Blayze ahead of the guy who actually spoiled the party by casting the shutout buster. For shame!
#2 Jaroslav Halak over #7 Jose Theodore – 57 votes to 4 votes.
Ouch. It wasn't even close between the battle of former Habs netminders. This result was reminiscent of the 2010 Playoffs when Halak and the Habs stole the Caps lunch money and booted Theodore out of the net and out of DC for good except this time Halak was supposed to win.
#3 Jimmy Howard over #6 Brian Elliott – 48 votes to 13 votes.
Records, shmecords Brian Elliott. The voters don't care what you accomplished last season. They don't care about the single season record for save percentage, or the Jennings Award you split with Halak, or the league's lowest goals against average and certainly not the fact that you pitched shutouts in nearly a quarter of all the games you played in. And really why should they? It's not like any of those stats count in the scoring format for this tournament. Oh wait they do? I'm confused too, Brian.
As best I can tell, three things worked against Elliott here. First and foremost is the Halak factor. People are concerned that Halak is going to steal too many starts from Elliott in spite of the fact that Halak was still experiencing discomfort in his ankle this summer and has frankly never been a workhorse goalie. Halak's career high for starts is 57, which came in what was arguably his worst season as a starter. Halak works best in a tandem and as long as Elliott performs he will get starts because Hitchcock is all about wins. He wasn't in St. Louis when either guy was brought in so he has no allegiances. He will simply play the hot hand as he did last season. Now that does mean that Elliott won't be a workhorse but on the flip side it also means there's a chance you avoid seeing any of the stinkers that workhorse goalies tend to put up.
The second thing working against Elliott is in conjunction to the Halak stealing starts factor and that is that Howard is in fact a workhorse or at the very least an uncontested starter. That's all well and good except that Howard isn't an uncontested starter. The Red Wings brought in Jonas Gustavsson this summer and he is a good bet to push Howard for starts since it remains to be seen if Howard is legitimately a quality starter or just a decent goalie behind what was once a great defense.
The third factor against Elliott is the regression factor. This one I really get. Elliott is highly unlikely to break records again. He is highly unlikely to post shutouts in nearly 25% of his starts again. Still, St. Louis is a sickeningly deep team that is going to be dominant once again defensively. Hitchcock has proven that he can work wonders for mediocre goalies and there's always a chance that Elliott did in fact get better prior to his arrival in St. Louis. He certainly showed flashes of being a good goalie in Ottawa so it's not unreasonable to think that he will still provide fantastic fantasy numbers, even if he only starts say 30 games.
What really irks me about the fear that people have about Elliott regressing is the fact that there don't seem to be the same doubts being projected towards Howard. I've already voiced my opinion on what I think of Howard but to summarize, I think he's a great candidate to regress too. Remember, his 2010-11 season was a complete flop for fantasy owners.
So really, do you want a guy who will start somewhere between 50 and 60 games but whose starts are about as likely to be bad as they are to be good? That sounds a lot like spinning the wheel of random excellence, which as we talked about last week, isn't necessarily a good thing. Elliott, meanwhile, won't start a ton of games but we know those starts will be productive. The most important factor here is at what point are you drafting these guys? If you need your first goalie and these are the best of the bunch remaining then I'm sorry but you are pooched either way. At the point where you should be considering either of these guys you should have your first starter picked out. This means having a second guy who you can spot start reliably is an asset and that's where Elliott makes a lot of sense.
Ultimately, voters may have simply been considering the scenario where there back is against the wall and they need to have their goalie make a start to even sniff a chance at winning their week. In these scenarios Elliott won't help you out but really, if you are clinging to an end of the week goalie start to bail you out then you probably have other roster issues to sort out.
Maybe I'm just in too deep with my anti-Howard stance, but I'm against the masses on this one.
#5 Craig Anderson over #4 Antti Niemi – 38 votes to 29 votes.
Ladies and gentlemen, your first upset of the Cage Match Goalie Tournament and what a (barely) upset it was!
There are so many ways to at this one that it could make your head spin. The consensus opinion is that these are two mediocre goalies that could make some real noise in the fantasy world with the right team in front of them. What's confusing is it is really difficult to make heads or tails of either of these teams.
The Ottawa Senators were predicted by just about everyone to be a lottery team last season and predicted by many to finish dead last. Instead they made the playoffs, equipped with a new coach, a feisty young roster and one of the best prospect pools in the league. They are on the rise. But what if they fall off a bit? Ottawa was unusually healthy last season seemingly maximizing every inch of their roster. Sure, it's nice to assume that a young team is simply going to get better and better each year but that just doesn't always happen. Remember when the St. Louis Blues were a scrappy young team that made the playoffs unsuspectedly in 2009? Well they missed the playoffs each of the following two seasons before rising to prominence again last season. These things can take time. I'm all for Ottawa continuing to grow and being a playoff team this year, but who exactly are they leaping past? Right now I can't say anyone. So Ottawa can at best finish about where they did last season and that means Anderson is an unlikely candidate to improve his numbers.
San Jose is going the complete opposite direction. A lot of people have them pegged to fall off this season after eight straight disappointing playoff appearances. Last season was really a down year for the Sharks as they finished just seventh in the West and have seemingly depleted their prospect coffers to keep adding veteran pieces to an aging core than may simply not have the killer instinct to win it all. Still, most fantasy pools don't count the playoffs and San Jose should still be a strong regular season performer. It's hard to argue the team won't be better defensively after improving their blue line for the second straight season. Certainly the Sharks are lacking the depth up front they once had but this is still a playoff team. Ultimately, I think people may be out-thinking themselves with regard to the Sharks. For years the conventional wisdom has been; this is their year, this is when they take the next step. Now that we've grown so used to the Sharks disappointing us in the playoffs, the fact that they now did it in the regular season should thus spell the end of their run. What if it was simply a bad year from which they will bounce back?
Consider me on board with Niemi. Ottawa isn't better than San Jose and Anderson certainly isn't better than Niemi. If you look at the numbers, Niemi has actually quietly been a very strong fantasy goaltender in his time with San Jose. He may not be a world beater but he gets the job done for both the Sharks and fantasy teams. Right or wrong, just like the Sharks, Niemi chokes so Anderson moves on.
This week we have the opening round matchups in the Dryden Bracket and they look like some doozies.
#1 Mike Smith vs. #8 Michal Neuvirth
The Phoenix Coyotes went to the Conference Final, the Arizona Cardinals are 4-0 and Mike Smith is a #1 seed in the Cage Match Tournament – proof positive that the Mayans were correct.
#2 Cam Ward vs. #7 James Reimer
Wasn't Cam Ward last season's trendy sleeper elite goalie? Does anyone want to take that gamble again? Yeah, your right, I do.
#3 Roberto Luongo vs. #6 Anders Lindback
Is it just me or does the Anders Lindback to Tampa Bay trade seem a lot like the Matt Flynn to Seattle move in football? The good news for Lindback is that for NHL teams the thought of promoting goaltenders to their starting lineup right out of the draft is even more dubious than it is for quarterbacks in the NFL. Lindback is probably safe to be considered Tampa's starter but is he good? I mean, are we sure?
In other news Luongo is still a Canuck, which helps no one.
#4 Niklas Backstrom vs. #5 Semyon Varlamov
Just this past week a forum member posted a question debating this exact matchup. Just another reason why the Cage Match Tournament is the bomb!
Remember that this tournament is based on your opinion for one-year leagues only which count the following stats:
Wins, Goals Against Average, Save Percentage, Shutouts
Now hit the boards to cast your votes and make your voices heard!

The people who lived between the rivers Amazon and Plate, and their language were the guaraní. The Guarani language is an official language in Paraguay. It is also spoken in parts of Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil. The Jesuit missionaries in Paraguay wrote Guarani dictionaries and grammars, hymns and catechisms. Guarani acquired a symbolic status in Paraguay during the Chaco War with Bolivia, 1932-35. Today many Paraguayans with hardly any indigenous blood speak Guarani better than Spanish.

Worst Sushi, worst owner, worst treatment – WORST FOOD AND EXPERIENCE IN A RESTAURANT I'VE EVER HAD!
I order a hundred dollars worth of food and drink and mid roll I bite into either a rock or bone. I spit out into my napkin, tell the waitress /return the remainder of the roll. I'm absolutely disgusted but I feel I should give them another chance in good faith as accidents happen and ask for something that wouldn't have any chance of bone in it, I have a bite of that and it's just gross but I don't complain, I just don't eat it. In fact between the bone (or other particle in the tuna roll), the crappy 14 dollar vegetable roll, the taste and quality of the fish was below average and uninspired even when not contaminated with dangerous unknown contents. The owner/head chef Yoshi comes outside to our table and accuses me of lying and says this never happens;then says he's checked my napkin which I spit out into for bones, etc and when this usually happens he finds things. I say USUALLY! I thought this NEVER happens, I think he realizes he's been caught and we think this is solved, see the bill and he's decided to only credit half of the dish as it took us a few bites before the bone/rock whatever cracked on my teeth. We tell the waitress there must be some mistake, and she seems genuinely sorry, then Yoshi comes out again screaming and saying we're lying and that "YOU PAY! YOU PAY! (He fully understands english BTW) and that he will call the cops, ok so it just went from insulting to CRAZY. I tell him he's insane, and that it seems likes this happens a lot to him, and that I'm not telling him how to run his business or make his crappy sushi but that I AM telling him what absolutely was my experience eating sushi at his restaurant and that we are not asking for our meal to be comped but that we simply not pay for harmful sushi, (sadly we are ok with paying for their just reg crappy sushi) and he's just freaking out, red faced and seemingly intoxicated so we slap down our credit card and just leave. We regularly eat at everything from three michelin star restaurants to great inexpensive places and have NEVER been treated like this; Yoshi does not seem to understand hospitality or how to run a restaurant and that is just damn shameful. I've had better sushi at the the mall.
Shima is a treasure. The beautiful aesthetic, attention to detail and care for high quality ingredients is superb and unmatched by any restaurant I've been to in LA. The use of only wild-caught fish and organic brown rice (semi-polished, not as chewy as you think) is special and rare.
Sit at the high sushi bar and watch the chef-owner Yoshi prepare your meal with delicate precision or book a table upstairs and feel hidden away like a celebrity. The atmosphere is calm and soothing, the colors and objects in the room, the music, all in harmony.
The first time I came here I literally cried when I saw the spicy burdock roll because the burdock root was natural and brown, the way it should be. Every Japanese restaurant I'd ever been to (from NYC to LA) serves burdock that's been dyed bright orange, sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup and came from a jar.
My current favorite dish is the grilled king salmon belly roll with avocado and thinly sliced cucumbers. The tai (snapper) sashimi with warm truffle oil is incredible. They have the best miso soup I've ever had in any restaurant.
In addition to the wild-caught fish, oysters, soft shell crab and lobster they serve some unusual vegetarian dishes: veggie salmon roll (made with a delicious sprouted nut pate) and traditional Japanese vegetarian dishes; roasted ginko nuts, ohitashi (marinated greens), mountain yam with tonburi (a strange little vegetable seed that pops like caviar) and okra, perfectly seasoned lotus root, the most thinly sliced eggplant which unfolds on your tongue like a bird's wing.
They also serve vegan desserts sweetened subtly with agave nectar (in fact, aside from the fish, crustaceans and tamago everything is vegan), coconut tapioca with sweet beans, rice ice cream with green tea powder and some unidentified brown powder that was so compelling my companion could not resist licking the plate.
Tonight my man and I ate a satisfying meal there for two, here's what we had: homemade tofu, vegetarian appetizer (3 kinds), seaweed shooter, cucumber salad, grilled shishito peppers, grilled king salmon belly roll, kampachi roll, one kurumamecha (black soy bean tea) and cold 'Fair Maiden' sake, the bill came to 88$,
I don't usually write reviews about restaurants, especially my favorites, but Shima has hid it's light long enough. I'm shocked by the number of locals I talk to who have never eaten there. With no signage and a high wall a lot of people don't even realize it's a restaurant. Only recently did they start putting out a lantern near the entrance, hopefully Shima will soon be as appreciated as much it deserves.
I'm saddened to see so many negative reviews here for my favorite restaurant in LA. I've eaten there since they opened in 2005 and I've never had bad service or waited too long for food. The chef can be spicy sometimes but I challenge anyone to show me a restaurant owner who is not.
Perhaps Shima is a little too subtly sophisticated for people who are used to cramming their faces on fast and cheap food.
RUDEST CHEF EVER! – Usually takes forever to be served. The waitresses try to be nice, but the head sushi chef is so unprofessional and rude. I have since heard about this guy from several locals. I will never go back and never recommend this place. They charge too much money to be treated like SH*T.
Minimum order and rude service – My friends and I were wandering Abbot Kinney on Friday night and spotted Shima. We were looking for a nice, quiet place to have a drink and chat - it looked like it fit the bill. We went in, told the hostess that we wanted to have drinks and were seated at the sushi bar until a table became available. Everything was fine until we were moved to the table. It was THEN that we were informed that we needed to order food and that there was a minimum purchase. Even after speaking to the manager and explaining that we told the hostess that we only wanted drinks, they insisted that we order food and pay the minimum. We paid the minimum but will NEVER go back. The manager and staff were extremely rude about the whole situation.
Don't Bother – This restaurant is overpriced and waaay overhyped....I was expecting premium sushi (on par with Blue Ribbon) but was served meager meager portions of very mediocre food in a cheap looking restaurant with no air conditioning.....Not horrible, but absolutely a rip-off...the table next to us was frustrated also...I was suspicious because of the microsoft word printed menus, but gave it a shot anyways....$75 later I was still hungry and left food on the plate because it was bland and unappetizing....Don't believe the hype!
Shima knows great sushi! ANKIMO!!! MMMM! – This place KNOWS GREAT SUSHI! The recipes were unique and devine. I had the best ankimo I have ever encountered on this earth from Shima. It was on special and yes, at $20 for two small, thin slices, it was so AMAZING, my BF and I ordered two plates! The baby halibut sashimi with heirloom tomato salsa, urchin risotto, sauteed mushrooms, nigori, and the snapper, spanish makeral and hamachi sushi's were heavenly! Truthfully, I didn't notice that it was brown rice, but it was very complimentary to the cuisine.
In summary, this is not one of those sushi places for stingy Americans who are looking for an all-you-can-eat sushi joint. Its fine cuisine, worth the trouble of locating! Upstairs would be perfect for a first date as it has soft lighting and urban decor. Additionally, one sip of their nigori and she'll need help walking down the stairs. ;)
I highly recommend this place to anyone who knows and seeks exquisite sushi.
crazy price, bad mood chief, ordinary food – 1. crazy price - 5 slice shashimi $36,
2. bad mood chief - yell with anger front of customer
3. ordinary food - you can have same quality of food with less price, anywhere
Not all that great. Yellowtail sashimi was good, but it's yellow tail. It better be good. It costs a lot.
i thought the fish would be pretty fresh. but it was so-so. there's better ones at the same price range. . .
This place gets one star, because I can not give it negative stars.
Great food & good ambiance. However, the portions were very small for the price. – Great food & good ambiance. Beware, the portions are very small for the price. Don't come here if you're hungry unless you're willing to spend $80 per person (come more for the atmosphere).
Shima restaurant in Venice is delicious! – Yes, I agree. Everything, all the time is delicious! Thanks Yoshi for bringing such a great restaurant to Venice!
Really? – Despite being warned by our sushi-aficionado friends, we decided to give Shima a try. This was a HUGE mistake. The sushi did not taste fresh and all the dishes seemed uninspired and heavy. The pieces of sashimi lacked the delicacy and quality one would expect from a $200 meal. I would not recommend this place.

Monday Poker HeadlinesMonday, October 18th, 2010
The Harrah's combined bad beat jackpot survived the weekend and was sitting at just under $430,000 going into Monday's play. The current minimum bad beat hand for the jackpot is quad fives and will drop to quad fours on Wednesday if the jackpot doesn't hit.
The jackpot splits 50 percent of the money with all cash game players at any Harrah's room — Harrah's Resort, Caesars, Bally's, Showboat — when it hits.
Meanwhile, Doyle Brunson has been having some fun with his Twitter account, conducting a series of polls about his fellow pros that have come up with some shocking results.
For example, the most hated poker player in the world — Phil Helmuth.
Who'd have thunk it?
And the female player most men would like to have sex with — Shannon Elizabeth.
Wow, did not see that one coming.
OK, it's not that shocking, but it's still kind of fun.
Helmuth actually beat out Russ Hamilton of the Ultimate Bet poker swindle and Tony G., front man for Party Poker.
Normally Helmuth would probably be pretty happy about this, except the actual category was "poker player you most want to kill," so maybe not.
Brunson also asked his 355,000 Twitter followers the sex question and our personal favorite (guess who's picture we decided to use), Shannon Elizabeth won, beating out Vanessa Rousso and Jennifer Tilly. Tilly, however, got a special nod for getting votes from both men and women.
Elizabeth replied "Uhm … thanks," to Brunson
Rousso and Tilly then reportedly flirted with each other on Twitter so … well, we need a glass of water.
Among the guys on the sex thing, Gus Hansen came in first, followed by Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey. Whatever.
And just to round things out, in the category of poker pros that fans would most like to hang out with, the winners were Phil Laak, Gavin Smith and Daniel Negreanu.

|PAHO Calls for Renewed Commitment to Supporting Breastfeeding
Washington, D.C., 1 August 2012 (PAHO/WHO) - The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) is calling for renewed commitment from all sectors of society to improve implementation of the WHO/UNICEF Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding. This call for action comes at the start of World Breastfeeding Week 2012 (August 1-7).
To highlight this year's World Breastfeeding Week, PAHO/WHO has developed a policy brief summarizing the implementation of the Global Strategy in the Region of the Americas and its relationship to breastfeeding trends. PAHO has also developed a poster entitled "For You It's Milk. For Your Baby, Life". These materials are available through PAHO's headquarters, offices in each country and at www.paho.org/childnutrition.
Although breastfeeding has been increasing in many countries in the Americas, much remains to be done to optimize breastfeeding practices. In most countries of the Americas, fewer than half of babies begin breastfeeding within the first hour of life, as recommended by PAHO/WHO. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months--also recommended--is low, ranging from 8 percent to 68 percent of babies in different countries of Latin America.
Also, the vast majority of babies and young children do not benefit from optimal complementary feeding. Nearly 20 percent do not receive solid, semi solid or soft foods between 6 and 9 months of age, as recommended by PAHO/WHO. Only 28 percent of young children in Haiti and 81 percent in Peru receive a minimum dietary diversity. Only 46 percent of young children in Haiti and 78 percent in Peru receive a minimum meal frequency.
"We need to improve both breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices by creating strong and supportive public health policies and programs," said PAHO Director Dr. Mirta Roses.
This year's World Breastfeeding Week, whose theme is "Understanding the Past, Planning the Future-Celebrating 10 Years of WHO/UNICEF's Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding," highlights progress toward the strategy's implementation in countries around the world.
Breastfeeding is the single most effective intervention for preventing deaths among children under 5. Research shows that about 20 percent of neonatal (under age 1 month) deaths could be prevented if all newborns began breastfeeding during the first hour of life.
In addition, children who are breastfed for seven to nine months have on average six points higher IQ than children who are breastfed for less than a month. Breastfeeding also helps mothers lose weight and reduces their risk of breast and ovarian cancer as well as type 2 diabetes.
PAHO, which celebrates its 110th anniversary this year, is the oldest public health organization in the world. It works with its member countries to improve the health and the quality of life of the people of the Americas. It also serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of WHO.
