Written by TaxFoundation.org
Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics Data, Report Predicts Tax Parameters for Tax Year 2010
Washington, DC - September 16, 2009 - Workers expecting an increase in take-home pay this January due to the annual automatic inflation adjustments can think again, according to a Tax Foundation analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released today.
The agency announced that the Consumer Price Index year-over-year monthly average increased by only 0.19 percent, the smallest inflation adjustment since the IRS began adjusting the tax code for inflation. This comes just a year after the biggest increase in nearly two decades.
"The past two years mark two extremes, one high and one low, ever since inflation adjustments became part of the individual income tax in the mid-1980s," said Tax Foundation Senior Economist Gerald Prante, who authored Tax Foundation Fiscal Fact, No. 188, "Inflation Adjustment for Tax Brackets Almost Zero for Next Year," available online at http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/25127.html. "Last year, tax parameters like the standard deduction and tax brackets increased substantially in value, while this year they are increasing very little or not at all."
After BLS releases its annual August estimate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the IRS calculates how much tax brackets will shift in the following year, along with several other important tax provisions that are affected by inflation. Employers will use these newly adjusted tax brackets to estimate withholding in 2010. The IRS will not publish the official inflation adjustments until later this fall, but rarely have the IRS's calculations differed from the Tax Foundation's estimates, and there are never any significant differences, according to Prante.
The Fiscal Fact also presents projections for each of the major tax parameters for tax year 2010, including every taxable income bracket, personal exemption, standard deduction, and phase-in and phase-out ranges for the limitations on personal exemptions and itemized deductions.
The Tax Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that has monitored fiscal policy at the federal, state and local levels since 1937.

haiti: strengthening food sovereignty
what happened: Starting in June 2007, this project was to last six months, and the group expected that deadlines could be met even though the project period coincided with the hurricane season.
Their main objectives were to sensitize and inform the population and decision-makers about the problems presented by GMOs. They also needed to drive home the urgent need for measures to prevent the entry of genetically modified products into Haiti. An important aspect of this goal was conducting assessments to determine whether GMOs were present in food products sold in Haiti. Finally, the campaign aimed to enhance food sovereignty by supporting the implementation of the action plan adopted at the February 2007 World Forum for Food Sovereignty meeting in Sélingué, Mali.
A number of activities were organized to reach the proposed objectives. Information was gathered about GMOs and their impact on health and the environment; this was used to produce various materials that were distributed among peasant organizations, local radio presenters and the general public. The group also began work on a survey that will be used to inform the public about the current status of GMOs in Haiti.
In addition, FoE Haiti organized workshops in four regions of the country, where they informed people about GMOs and their effects on health and the environment. They discussed the current status of the situation at the national level, described actions that could be taken, and compared these to what is being done in the rest of the world.
what we learned: An important need identified was the necessity to enhance national and family production so as to supply school canteens. This is a prime example of food sovereignty that should be addressed at a second step of this project, through a production program that would enable people to produce what they consume.
Of the objectives we set, 80 percent were achieved. The survey on the current state of GMOs in Haiti was not completed within the original deadline, however, the group expects it to be published during the first quarter of 2008.
What became clear is that six months is not enough time to generate real awareness about this issue. However, the beneficiaries of this project were satisfied with its results, and committed to continue spreading the knowledge they had gained, with the ultimate goal of putting pressure on the government to achieve better management of GMOs.
what next: Continued support is requested to start the second phase of the project, to allow Friends of the Earth Haiti / Haiti Survie to keep on spreading information and creating awareness, at all levels, about GMOs and their risks.
with thanks to our funders: the sigrid rausing trust

Editorial Review – Clay tandoori oven-cooked seafood, meat, vegetables and naan bread; also delivery and an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet.
Amazing Food, Notorious Service – There's a difference you'll get when reading this review versus most of the rest: you can trust this one. A review is nothing without experience or objectivity. I'm know my Indian. I've been addicted to it for nearly a decade (I'm 27). I only feel the need to establish this because I'm shocked by the accuracy of the other written reviews.
Consider that India Garden (9th @ Folsom) currently has a rating of 8.7 as of April 2007, it's strange that most of the reviews naysay the food (only out of spite of the delivery service, it seems). It's true, the paper Chinese cartons they use are deplorable! Hopefully they'll change it. I don't do delivery, I always pick up or dine-in. That said, eating at this cozy, well decorated SoMa restaraunt is the way to go. Go with a group of 5-8 friends and the experience is fantastic. But go there for the food, as the service is unpredictable.
The quality of this Indian food is tops. If you like India Oven (Fillmore @ Waller), Gaylord or even the Naan 'n' Curry type chains, this absolutely is better. No contesting it. However, I find that if you like a pool of grease on top of your muddy brown Indian food, you may not like India Garden. It's more gourmet. I prefer Lahore Kahari for the greasy Indian food pit stop, but for a dish that sings expert preperation India Garden is the way to go.
I could easily double the length of my review trying to convince you to go, but I urge you to objectively give it a chance. This food is great; the saag is outstanding and lamb is tender enough you'll want to compose a love song for it. Don't phone in an order and wait for it to soak for 20 minutes in a paper carton before it hits your plate. Dine in or make swift work of the take out (which almost always takes 15 minutes -- sometimes 10!).
Spicy food fans can go here for a real challenge. They use real chili peppers and if you earn their trust (or tell them Fran sent you) you'll be hurting. Buffet is good, but shouldn't be your first try.
great experience with delivery food – Just ordered the chana masala and chicken tikka masala last night.
It came in 35 minutes and was delivered hot and fresh. The naan is amazing.
I recommend this place...
Worst Delivery Service and attitude – My order came later than the 1 hour window that they asked for. then the food had soaked through the chinese food cartons, wrapped in cling wrap. i called them immediately for a refund, but they insisted on sending replacments, promising its arrival in 15 minutes. I called when it was late (again) and asked for a refund which they were not accepting as a reasonable solution. The food actually came 40 minutes later. They really have no concern for making their customers even remotely satisfied. I will never order from them again. period. They blew it. After all of that, the worstpart was that the food was really ordinary.
Bad delivery service – Make sure you have plenty of paper towels when you order delivery from this place. At first we like this restaurant because they make a great aloo muttar and a so so chicken tikka marsala (only small chunks of chicken, mostly sauce) but for the past three times we order for delivery, our orders came in a drippy curried soaked chinese take out boxes and food was cold! Obviously the delivery guy took the long scenic route before getting to our place (we are only about 10 blocks away...) but the worst part is that he ignores the direction to get into the building so my husband has to go down to get the food!!! If you want delivery then go somewhere else!!!
Good atmostphere, Average Food – This was my first time to this place. The service was average. they do have a huge menu. There were alot of selections. Good atmosphere. We ordered about 5 dishes. The mushroom rice, naan and the veggie dish were good. The curry chicken had little taste to it. The Chicken Kabab was very dry. I would probably wait a while before i will try this place again.
Horrible! – I was very excited to try India Garden. Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. The food arrived in a chinese carton wrapped in saran wrap as the saltier than salty channa masala was in an almost soup like consistency. They gave a lot of rice, which was laden with butter and made me sick. At least the naan was hot and good!
South of Market favorite for white-tablecloth Indian dining with a flower-strewn patio. – In Short
This deep, narrow restaurant with a full bar and back outdoor garden features well-prepared Indian specialties, including clay oven chicken, seafood and lamb. Despite an all-you-can-eat lunchtime buffet and an inexpensive dinner menu, an upscale ambience prevails, with elegant tables, a polished dark-wood interior, and attentive service. Take-out is available for any dish; delivery is free within a limited area. Try choosing from the range of 15 different styles of stuffed and seasoned naan.
Crap – Took a year out before reordering from this place after a few bad experiences a while back. Tried them again a few days ago with similar experience. Food took ages to arrive - had to call in twice. The person taking orders took down my wrong phone number and ignored the apartment number - meaning the delivery person couldn't contact me. Food was cold (freezing) when it arrived and most dishes looked and tasted like they were left overs from yesterday - certainly not fresh. Won't be ordering again..
Worst Dining Experience EVER – After 12 years in San Francisco - This is the worst service we have ever encountered. We waited 40 minutes for our food while all of the other people that arrived after us proceeded to eat and pay for their food. After we finally asked where our meals were the waiter pretended it was on its way and asked us to repeat our order (he actually forgot to put our order in). No appologies or discounts. The food was mediocre and not worth the price (there are several other great Indian restaurants in the city). My water glass was empty, we were ignored, and it took even longer to get the check. We would NEVER recommend this restaurant to anyone!

That's right I said it. Three years from now as Team USA goes back to the Olympics I think they will take the gold, assuming all the players currently on the team stay committed. And there is one reason why I think that. Jason Kidd. Well ok there are more but he is the main reason. I personally think he is the best point guard the NBA has seen since Stockton (yes not Steve Nash) He defends, rebounds, passes, and most importantly leads. Team USA needs an undisputed leader, not 3 different young captains like last year. Kidd brings that leadership along with stellar perimeter defense and the ability to control both a fast break and half court offense. Kidd commands the respect of everyone in the league, even Kobe who happens to be the second reason why the USA will win.
Bryant, love him or hate him, is the best scorer in the world right now. Yes he can be a ball hog but I don't see that happening with this team. The Laker's Kobe doesn't trust his teammates and thinks he has to do everything but here on Team USA he finally has teammates he trusts and loves to play with. I think the selflessness of players like Kidd and Lebron will rub off on him. He will quickly see that these guys can score when he passes, unlike Kwame Brown, or Smush Parker. His three point shooting and ability to take over a game will be invaluable to the US team. To top it all off he brings great defense. With him and Kidd on the outside the large physical European guards will have a much harder time than they did against Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade.
Now that we got the starting back court out of the way, let's look at the front court. There isn't much I should have to say. At small forward you have Lebron James who by then will be 3 years older and better, with some international experience under his belt. If that's not one of the scarier things you have ever heard of I don't know what is. You think he is good now just wait three years.
Down low there are several players who could start, but since we are talking about 3 years from now I have to say Dwight Howard is my favorite for starting at Center. With Chris Bosh, who played well last year in the Olympics, as PF I think these 2 will work well together. They have different styles but still provide great defense and rebounding. Plus they can both run the court with Kidd, Kobe, and Lebron (wow I got shivers just writing that)
The two last reasons I think they will win are, first the bench, and second the experience. Just like last year the USA bench is stacked with stars, allowing Coach K to continually substitute and run all game long. Billups is much like Kidd, as he is a great defender and floor general who all of the players respect. Carmelo, Wade, Amare, and Hinrich are now used to the international game and know what to expect, while Michael Redd's three point shooting will be imperative. Whoever, else makes the team should be a specialist ala Prince, Redick, or Battier (at least one dookie has to make it). Many of these players have international experience and won't be fazed by the physical nature and packed paint as they were last year.
Well there you have it; that's why USA basketball fans will finally have a reason to smile and not hide in the corner embarrassed because our vaunted athletes can't beat a bunch of "soft" Europeans and Argentineans. Team USA finally has the experience, leadership, talent, and chemistry to bring back the gold for us long awaiting American fans.
Now watch they are gonna go and get swept by Croatia, Saudi Arabia, and Tanzania.

MIDLAND – Mayor Gord McKay, left, and Coun. Glen Canning prepare to raise a flag on Feb. 1 to recognize Heart Month in Midland. Throughout February, Heart and Stroke Foundation volunteers will go door to door delivering health information and asking for donations to heart and stroke research.
Last year, the campaign raised $101,125 in Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka; the goal this year is $114,000.
Also present to raise the flag were canvassers Liz Cascagnette, Glenda Howell-Knight and Kevin Mustard.
In a press release, program co-ordinator Chris Nayler, right, noted nearly 70,000 Canadians die each year from heart disease or stroke. In Simcoe/Muskoka, she added, more than 57 per cent of residents are at risk due to being overweight.

Cool waiters, live music, and good food – Summer time is a great time to sit outside and listen to live music at East St. The waiters were super cool refilling our wine glasses, and instead of splitting our salads giving us each our own. The food was good, not great, but the service made up for it. It is a cozy place and food good enough hence the 4 stars. The bar inside rocks and regularly has live music.
Absolutely Terrible – Avoid this restaurant, we had mone of the worst meals we ever had there and even though our entrees weren't charged we still got stock with a $60 bill for two salads, two glasses of wine and some pommes frittes. The service weas confused at best, the kitchen messed up our orders and the food was inedible. What a let down. With so many great places to eat in Park City go elsewhere.
A waste of a perfect location – I was given a recommendation to eat here while visiting from San Francisco during Sundance. It was a celebration dinner with clients. I was shamefully embarrassed by the rude server who made my experience more than uncomfortable. Not only that, almost every order was not prepared correctly by the kitchen including a rare steak that came out well done. The Easy Street left an extremely unpleasant taste in my mouth to say the least. Many more places to visit than even to bother giving it your time.
I Raise My Glass To You – This restaurant is well worth the visit. The service was absolutely incredable....and the food, well, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I ordered the pork loin stuffed with apricots and figs. My husband had the seared ahi. Both were excellent. The wines were recommended by our waitress, and paired with the meal fabulously. Can't wait to return to Park City and dine at Easy Street.
Unpleasant experience – The patio looked inviting on a cool summer evening and there were few other patrons. However, the service was incredibly slow and unprofessional. The white wine came warm and on request was put in a bucket of tepid water. We had to ask the water pourer to get some ice. The food came much later, but the order was incorrect. The spinach and dandelion salad had inedible 10 inch leaves, the tuna carpacio had a cold potato cake, a dish of asparagus was cold with a teaspoon of congealed Hollandaise sauce, and the $32 mixed seafood grill was served in paper in a plastic basket encased in a thick gooey tasteless doe dripping in grease. When tracked down, the server and she stated that the potato cakes were usually warm, apologized, and stated that the service and food were not usually so bad, but did nothing to rectify the situation.
Best Utah Restaurant – I started this review because of the "Best Burger" article. It is, without question THE BEST BURGER in the state. Big, juicy, topped with blue cheese and garlic and the fresh cut fries. But there is more. This is the best spot to take a date. Guys if you don't take your SO here you are missing out. What they did to this old historic buliding is outta this world. And the maitre d Gordon and GM George make you feel like you were personally invited to eat at their home. Great bar...very cool wine cellar
Unique – This is not your typical resort town restaurant. No fruit flavored microbrews or high priced pub food. This is authentic French fine dining at reasonable prices. Julia Child would recognize the menu and smile. Simple food prepared in a unique style; fresh and tasty. Good service in comfortable setting.
Fantastic Group Dinner – Our group recently stayed in Park City for an incentive trip. We stayed across the street at the Silver Queen Hotel. The staff had recommended Easy Street to me and I ordered appetizers from there two evenings to bring over to the hotel for our group (25 people). The appetizers were wonderful. On top of that we had our final banquet at Easy Street. The staff went out of their way to help us with entertainment (jazz trio), put us in the fireplace room and made us really feel at home. The food - particularly the first, second and fourth courses were excellent. The main course (beef tenderloin, salmon or leg of lamb) were good, but outstanding as the other courses. The service was great and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I would definately go back.
An elegant, refined brasserie featuring country French specialties at prices more at home in Park City than in the country. – The Scene
Unless you arrive at opening time, the crowd creates a definite buzz. Tables are close together, and efficient waitstaff moves quickly to ensure that every diner's need is satisfied. Subdued colors and dark wood are reminiscent of a French brasserie, with handsome light fixtures and subtle jazz adding upscale touches.
The Food
Rich hors d'oeuvres--a wild mushroom crepe with black truffle, terrine de fois gras, or black mussels steamed with garlic and Riesling--set the stage for Chef Neville King's specialties. Simple dishes like roasted salmon and cassoulet of white beans are what the chef does best--preferable to small, unremarkable filet mignon. While the menu includes a variety of grilled items, as well as braised lamb shanks, and shrimp and scallop pasta, vegetarians have to cobble a meal together from appetizers, salads and side dishes. For dessert, choose the tarte Tatin--sticky with caramel sauce and served hot with ice cream--and a French press of aromatic coffee.

Obama marvels at ancient cityThe Associated Press | March 24,2013AP Photo
President Barack Obama tours the ancient city of Petra in Jordan on Saturday during his trip to the Middle East.PETRA, Jordan President Barack Obama set aside the Middle Easts tricky politics Saturday to marvel at the beauty of one of the regions most stunning sites, the fabled ancient city of Petra.
This is pretty spectacular, he said, craning his neck to gaze up at the rock faces after emerging from a narrow pathway into a sun-splashed plaza in front of the grand Treasury.
The soaring facade is considered the masterpiece of the ancient city carved into the rose-red stone by the Nabataeans more than 2,000 years ago.
Obamas turn as tourist capped a four-day visit to the Middle East that included stops in Israel and the West Bank, as well asJordan. The White House set low policy expectations for the trip, and the president was returning to Washington with few tangible achievements to show.
Aides said his intention instead was to reassure the regions politicians and people particularly in Israel that he is committed to their security and prosperity.
Curious residents and picture-taking tourists lined the streets of modern Petra as Obamas motorcade wound toward the entrance to the ancient city. The president, dressed in khaki pants, a black jacket and hiking boots, began his walking tour at the entrance to the Siq, a narrow, winding gorge cutting between two soaring cliffs.
The path opened into a dusty plaza with the massive columned Treasury as its centerpiece. Obama declared the carved monument is amazing.
The Bedouins named the building the Treasury because they believed that urns sculpted on top of it contained great treasures. In reality, the urns represented a memorial for Nabataean royalty.
Over time, historians have disagreed on the Treasurys purpose. However, a recent excavation proved that a graveyard exists underneath it.
The Nabataeans established Petra as a crucial junction for trade routes linking China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. The city flourished until trade routes were redirected in the seventh century, leading to Petras demise.
Petra is Jordans most popular tourist attraction, drawing more than a half million visitors yearly since 2007. It may be familiar to many people who saw the 1989 movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Some scenes were filmed in the ancient city.
High winds and overcast skies nearly grounded Marine One, the presidential helicopter, in the Jordanian capital of Amman, which would have forced Obama to scrap the tourist stop. But the weather cleared enough for him and his delegation to make the hour-long flight across Jordans rugged landscape, arriving in Petra under bright sunshine.
The president departed Jordan after the tour and was due back in Washington late Saturday.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

text: If your refill valve is always running -- even after being replaced -- it sounds like the water level in the tank is consistently dropping. The easy answer to this is that the flapper is not seating properly. Is the toilet new as well? Make sure that after you flush, the flapper falls back into place and seals against the seat of the flush valve (the white plastic part with the large tube extending from the bottom and middle of the tank). You might need to extend the chain of the flapper to give it more slack. A plumber's visit should have corrected what appears to be relatively simple, but you never know.

Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said the 21-year-old man was in a car on the 3000 block of Gurnee Avenue Sunday at 1:30 p.m. looking at a handgun.
While the man was sitting in the car, the gun accidentally went off and shot him in the calf, Sparks said.
The victim was taken to Regional Medical Center with injuries he is expected to recover from, the sergeant said. Police collected one bullet fragment from the vehicle, according to a police report.
The incident was ruled an accidental injury, the report shows.

Mediocre service and boring food – I am befuddled by the glowing reviews of Enotria on this site. We've tried the restaurant twice, about a year apart, and have been disappointed both times. The most recent visit was on a recent Saturday night when we decided to avoid the crowds downtown.
Bad sign: at 7:30 on a Saturday the place was nearly empty, and the occupancy improved but little over the course of the evening. Despite the tumbleweeds rolling past the bar, we were seated at a tiny table in a corner between the bathroom and the door to the storage closet. The waiter was uninformed about the menu, being unable to answer questions such as "what are the side dishes served with the special"? When we asked for descriptions of the wines in a flight that we had ordered, sort of a cheat sheet, he just handed us the menu again.
The food was both boring and overly ambitious. The special was black cod. It was perhaps the most bland dish I've ever had in a restaurant. I wondered if they had run out of salt. The mystery side dishes were brown rice and a sliced roma tomato. Sadly enough, the rice was the most flavorful dish on the plate. The rib eye was a mess. It was cooked correctly, but then it was messed up by an excess of balsamic vinegar sauce and blue cheese, a cloyingly sweet concoction that overwhelmed the taste of the meat.
The only reason we gave the restaurant even two stars is because of the good wine list, and because the food wasn't actually inedible. But when dinner for two with two glasses of wine cost in excess of $100, I expect more. We've vowed not to go back.
Hidden Gem in Sacramento – I wish I knew this restaurant years ago. The neighborhood is improving but who cares the food is wonderful. I still dream of the lamb and braised beef raviolis...did I mention the wine?? Still not an expert on wine but I know what I like and the wine director recommended a reasonable but delicious wine to go with my meal. I want to try the tapas night next...
Bring your date here! – Dinner at Enotria is always a blast! The atmosphere is cozy, and the food never disappoints! Great food, great service and great wines.
Great atmosphere – A 1,000s selection of wine... if you like wine, this is the placed to go. Service was excellent! I love their crab cake & their mussels & clams, best one I have ever eaten in Sac! My dad tried the lamb, in which he didn't like it that much; I tried the Kobe beef, acceptable too.
GREAT PATIO – Birthday party of 8 on the garden Patio. We did a b'day celebration for my wife from NYC and arranged the celebration with Michael the manager. She and everyone were blown away, we started with the carb cakes paired with a great rosie champagene, followed by a classic caesar salad paired with Sav. Blanc from Oregon and with dinner we had a Pinot from Santa Maria, Foxen, (the winery was featured in Sideways), Hardy's Shiraz from down under, you almost could cut the wine with a fork and a Amarone for those that had the steak and Short Ribs. It was also very easy to park. Big Apple Foodie
My favorite Sacramento restaurant – The location is wierd - not a great part of town - but once you walk into the restaurant, you're in Napa or Sonoma or France. The back patio is so beautiful, the food so fabulous and the wine!! so wonderful. It's a great place to go when your wine cellar needs restocking, because they have a great selection and the prices are similar to getting them at the winery itself. Most restaurants charge a huge premium on their wine, but what this place saves in rent they pass on to you in great priced wine!
Very Happy – A romantic place to take a date or a loved one. The restaurant has a good number of wine flights (19?) of reds, whites, and dessert wines. I had a Pork with a Jerk rub, cooked perfectly and very yummy. My partner had a Kobe beef sirloin, medium. For dessert we had a lavendar and honey creme' brulee. All in all the meal was great and sitting outside in the warm Sacrmento spring made it all the better
A Napa-esque eatery offering fine wine and gourmet dining in the heart of the Uptown Art District. – The Scene
An open kitchen, small wine bar and ample booths create a lively atmosphere in the main dining room, while the more intimate atrium and wisteria-draped patio inspire whispered affections. Art patrons often drop in for a drink and the goat cheese-stuffed artichoke during the Second Saturday Art Walk.
The Food
There's a succulent applewood-grilled chicken breast over a bed of creamy polenta and broccolini. The Caesar salad tantalizes with whole anchovies, grated breadcrumbs and pine nuts. Standouts on the menu include grilled lamb medallions with spiced cider-port wine glaze over couscous and homemade pork sausage over penne pasta. Try not to gorge yourself on the warm, pillowy bread served with garlic butter.
great p;ace great value – My husband and I recently went to a wine dinner for Boeger Winery, we had heard of the restaurant but never had the occassion to go. Being Barberians (Boeger wine club members) we felt it our duty to attend thier dinner at the Enotria. well the find was our and the meal and service far exceeded our wildest dreams. we thought we were dining at the French Laundry or some place like that. but the price was far less than we could have dreamed.
the jewel of del paso – My most recent experience at Enotria Cafe and Wine Bar proved to be the most rewarding. After being promptly greeted by the friendly valet staff (though they are only available Friday and Saturdays), my girlfriend and I sat at the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. The bartender was very entertaining in the short time we waited for our table. Our meal was outstanding! I had the peppered pork tenderloin, which was served over garlic mashed potatoes, and my girlfriend enjoyed the filet mignon with a roasted corn relish. The outstanding wine selection helped compliment our already wonderful meal.

Seattle >Bars & Clubs > Comedy Underground
109 S. Washington St., Seattle, WA | Directions 9810447.600882 -122.333887
Daily doors 7:30pm Fri-Sat 10:00pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Pioneer Square
Good prices and great comics come together in this subterranean house of comedy. Headliners and regional talent perform to a fairly tame crowd in a comfortable but casual house. Don't miss Hari Kondabolu and W Kamau Bell when they come through town as they frequently do.
The 10:30 show was awesome. I had a great time. However, the two groups upfront were quite irritating. Why couldn't they just shut up and stop heckling the comedians? Also, to one of the groups sitting up front...how many times do you have to remind everyone including the stand up comedians that it was your birthday? You weren't the only one in the crowd that night celebrating a birthday. We get it... it's your birthday, or did you think everyone kept forgetting it was your birthday every 3 seconds? Also, to the other group... I wish someone would have told you how to be considerate of others or to follow instructions (if you have the need to talk then please go to the back of the room or step out. That other group kept talking throughout the show that a lot of people did not appreciate because your voices were heard on the mic (because you were sitting close enough for the microphone to pick up your conversations.) I wish those two groups were kicked out, but other than that it was a great show and fully appreciated. :)
It was okay – My husband and I plus some friends went to see the comedy show. The comedian before the headliner was hularious. There was this bday party group that was rude and interupting the comedians and making fun of the people watching the show. The owner and staff didn't do anything about them. The servers need to know better and cut off the drunk people who are causing a disturbance. The bday group was getting all the attention. Majority of the people were like what the heck!! I can see why the seats dont get all filled up. After the show, outside the bar we were approached by drug dealers selling meth and bums begging for money or cigs. The best comedy shows that I seen is in Las Vegas, NV and Tucson, AZ.
Best comedy – Dress up or dress down, varity of people. I have been to this place so many times, and have laughed so hard I was laughing tears. Been to a lot of other comedy shows and it is nothing like this. I have spent up to $120.00 for a ticket to see some great comedians and still this place beats them all. Price is great, the comedians always relate to real life situations. Great place to bring your friends and adult family. Only one negative, hard to get drinks served to you once you are downstairs, load up while you are upstairs.
Reviewed by a heckler! – My name is Ron Reid and I am the manager of The Comedy Underground in Seattle. If you come to our club, please do not let the alcohol take you over. Your drunken unsolicited participation ruins the evening for other people, who paid good money to watch professional entertainers and not you.
When I left the club on Saturday, a couple of drunk women who had nearly been kicked out of the show, were flirting with some cops in front of the bar. Then apparently one of them posted this on CitySearch:
"What a joke!
Posted by tineetee on 02/12/2006
We went on a Saturday night and the comedians were NOT funny. For $15 I would expect at least one of the 4 three comedians we watched to be funny. In addition to that, the crowd was expected to "Be Respectful". Ok, I understand no heckling because the comedians can't handle impromptu but come on, we were told to hold it down because we were cheering them on. We asked for a refund and got half our money back.
* Cons: comedians, "be respectful", "be quiet & polite"
* Overall user rating: Not Recommended"
First of all, they did not ask for a refund, and did not get any money back. Just in case the boss is reading.
But most of all they were the usual ignorant, drunk types who think they're "helping" the comedians, and think they're "cheering them on" when they're actually starved for attention and can't keep their pie holes shut for 90 minutes.
Among the comedians they "didn't think were funny" were Last Comic Standing runner-up and Tonight Show veteran Ty Barnett, and San Francisco Comedy Competition winner Bengt Washburn.
I told them on the way out that they had ruined the evening for others, and they just didn't get it. After seeing at least once of them slide onto a cop's lap as he was parked in his black-and-white, I'd give them the benefit of doubt for being inebriated.
But I guess they remembered enough of the evening to write to CitySearch.
Great Entertainment – I've found the Underground to be the best and only venue for standup. The reason that Seattle has a rough comedy scene, is truly Seattles own fault. Seattle is one of the toughest places to stand up. Wanna know why? It's because if someone says , abortion, , or God forbid, the N-word, people get offended here. Listen folks. Comedy, is to laugh. Don't take everything so serious. NOTE: I was censored in the "if someone says" portion of this review. This is exacty what I'm talking about.
Honest Comedy – So Seattle does not have the best comedy scene but this place is by far the best in the city. There prices are honest, the food is ok (and priced that way) and overall I've never had a bad experance there.
Editorial Review by Brenda Stice – National and local acts featured nightly along with food and drink service at this dark, underground Pioneer Square comedy club.

Things that make GM Finegold happy: 1) Active pieces; 2) The Qc2 Variation of the Nimzo-Indian; 3) Killer rooks that move so many times you forget which rook started on which side of the board. Watch him beat two strong GMs with 4. Qc2. You'll learn about which pawn structures are conducive to endgames, you'll see innovative queen sorties, and in the second game you'll be reminded of "Tron" as Finegold's rooks maneuver all around the board. | Watch video
Finally - the main line Max Lange arrives! But, two problems. Firstly, White only garners a small advantage if Black plays properly. Secondly, Black can avoid the Max Lange whenever he wishes! Because there are other reasonable defenses, you may end up wasting weeks or months studying the opening for White, and never get to play it. Is the system fun? Sure! But it might just be for posterity. | Watch video
Do you like it when grandmasters get to checkmate each other? Yeah, we thought so. Today we feature two devastating attacks from White on the black king. The first is a straightforward but aesthetically pleasing tactic. The second is much more complicated, where the art of defense is also on full display. Oh, and that one is from Vishy Anand. We haven't gotten to see him crush someone in a while, so watch the former world champion get back on the horse! | Watch video
Playing the same opponent in the same line countless times can either be tedious or revelatory. For GM Khachiyan, he jumped at the chance to go down a well-trodden path with fellow Californian GM Sevillano. Our author shows the main themes of the Winawer's imbalanced pawn structure, as well as some precise clearance tactics and practical rook endgame play. Who said SoCal is just a play for sunning on the beach? | Watch video
We continue with our "theme" of pet lines in the King's Indian, but this time it's White's turn to surprise. GM Finegold shows a pair of games with an early Bf4, a move that "you are sure to know better than your opponent." In one case, Black continues normally. In the other, Black chases the seemingly wayward bishop. But both times end in crushing defeats for Black. Watch and learn what you should do to combat the variation, and what happens if you don't! | Watch video
We've got brownies as ersatz rooks, knife-wielding chess players, and some occasional chess analysis thrown in as well from NM Dan Heisman's Q & A TV show. If you didn't watch it live, just watch the wide array of questions he gets. It's hard to stump Heisman! | Watch video

What do you get when you mix an FM, a GM, and four of the top players in the world? You get the Sinquefield Cup, the highest-rated tournament in history, brought to you by FM Kostya Kavutskiy and GM Dejan Bojkov. In this penultimate round, GM Nakamura tries to beat GM Carlsen for the first time ever, and thus retake the tournament lead. GM Kamsky seeks his first win of the event, and GM Aronian must defend the h-file pressure. Watch the opening moves to the round! | Watch video
GM Dzindzi shows off what amounts to a small book on the Two Knights Defense. He advocates for Black to play the reorganizing maneuver ...Bc5-b6 before attempting to advance his c- and d-pawns. Meanwhile, if White gets his e- and f-pawns going, then he is for choice. You'll also see some inventive queen sorties and exchange sacrifices. What's old is new again, as Roman's Lab is revised and dated theory is renewed! | Watch video
Part 3 of GM Perelshteyn's offbeat approach against the Sämisch shows that if you are flexible with your pawn structures, you can catch White out of his theoretical knowledge. The grandmaster plays a pair of games in which White does little to restrict ...b5, and Black liquidates the center with ease in both cases. After that the active Black army mops up. Watch this series and you'll see that there is nothing to fear but fear itself - and certainly not the f-pawn. | Watch video

LM Wind Power adds to Grand Forks, Little Rock work forceWind turbine blade maker LM Wind Power, one of the area's largest manufacturers, will have almost 600 employees in Grand Forks at the end of 2013, the company announced Monday.
By: John Hageman, Grand Forks Herald
Wind turbine blade maker LM Wind Power, one of the area's largest manufacturers, will have almost 600 employees in Grand Forks at the end of 2013, the company announced Monday.
The news comes a year after LM laid off more than half of its local workers.
The company, based in Denmark, went from having 350 employees in the U.S. in April to 700 in August, according to a company press release. In 2014, it plans on growing to 1,200 workers.
The Grand Forks facility, located at 1580 S. 48th St., will be home to 570 employees by the end of 2013, according to the company. A plant in Little Rock, Ark., will have 400.
The company cited the extension of the federal wind production tax credit early this year as the driver of demand.
"We kind of follow the market," said Bill Burga Jr., the head of operations for LM Wind Power's Americas division. "Our customers are influenced by that tax credit."
Monday's announcement comes after the company announced in September 2012 that it was laying off 345 employees, bringing its workforce down to 270, due in part to the production tax credit's uncertain future. Congress extended it for one year on Jan. 1.
Rob Gramlich, senior vice president of public policy for the American Wind Energy Association, testified before a congressional committee last week that the tax credit's impending expiration last year had a "devastating impact" on the industry.
"Investment was put on hold and factories halted production and project installations came to a standstill," Gramlich testified.
According to Gramlich, the extension allows project owners to reduce their tax bill by 2.3 percent every kilowatt hour of electricity produced over a 10-year period. Companies can apply for the credit if significant progress has been made on a project before the end of 2013, when the tax credit is set to expire.
For the time being, Burga said he expects to see plenty of demand.
"Hopefully it's sustainable," Burga said. "From what we can see, it's going to keep us very, very busy through the end of 2014."
