About our Pendant Sleeved Gown
The Twelfth Century was an era of cultural and technical innovation that has been called both the "High Middle Ages and the "Little Renaissance". In southern France, troubadours wrote a new form of music that sang of "courtly love", while the rough-and-ready knightly class adopted a new ideology of its own: chivalry. The brutality of the Crusades not only caused the birth of new, distant kingdoms and the "new knighthood" of the Knights Templar and Hospitallers, but reopened a gateway to the East that brought an influx of new ideas, technologies and materials. The great, Gothic cathedrals, universities, and the reopening of the silk trade were all children born of this new cultural flowering. It was also an age of legendary personalities, whose names have survived the centuries: Henry Plantagenet, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, William Marshal, Saladin and the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
This era was also an age of innovation and elegance in civilian dress. One such example was a new, elegant back-laced gown that replaced the bliaut over the second half of the 12th century, and was made popular throughout the courts of England and France by such famed ladies as Queen Eleanor and her daughter, the renowned Marie de France. These new, fitted gowns adopted a variety of both simple and dramatic sleeve shapes, and although they fell out of fashion in the 13th century, were forerunners to the fitted dresses that would reappear in the 14th. We have chosen a unique, beautiful design from the later decades of the 12th century for its combination of style and comfort. The long, fitted dress has narrow sleeves that flare out into dramatic, streaming cuffs that almost reach to the ground. This gown is the height of "High Medieval" fashion! Based on contemporary artwork, and made in 100% Linen, our pendant sleeved, back-laced gown is available in our new pallet of rich, jewel tones with a contrasting sleeve lining. Four sizes and the historical back-laced closure allows for near perfect fit for most body types. This gown shows that nobility doesn't just have to be stately, it can be sexy!

"My package just arrived safely. Am LOVING the dark green bliaut. The color is jaw dropping. First bought one 2 years ago.In case anyone asks, the silk does dye nicely (with professional silk dye - Jacquard brandwasused) - turned the teal into a jewel tone blue, with no problems."
Thought best to let you know,
Best Regards,
Christina B., Seattle
If anyone reads this, just stop reading and go buy something here! You cannot go wrong! Nothing short of the energy death of the universe will prevent anyone from enjoying these clothes AND getting a good deal in the process!"

Colors and Fabrics
Note: Due to the difficulty of representing colors accurately on a variety of monitors we've included color descriptions along with our swatches. Please use both when deciding on what color to order. Also, despite how the colors may appear on your monitor the same color names in Silk and Linen are different and do not exactly coordinate.
Linen colors: Dark Green, White, Black, Red and Blue
Size Chart
Note: In our women's clothes we've abandoned 'standard', modern sizing because it is far from standard, and tends to cause more confusion than provide accurate information. So, please judge your size by your chest and waist measurements. We do not give hip measurements because the gown flares dramatically at the hip and is so generously sized there that fit is not an issue at that point. A range of fit is given for each size because the lacings and placket in the back start at the top and extend to below the hip providing flexibility within each size as well as a near perfect fit to each individual within that size range. The gowns run long with a small train so that you can wear them in the authentic fashion of the period - trailing along the ground or hem it to your desired length.

Developers these days are obsessed with mobile apps, but a startup called Chorus.im hopes the Web will be its entree into a new instant-messaging market.

First, Springer was bumped up to the varsity team from junior varsity early in the season. Then she was the subject of a debate between then-coach Mike Tucker and his staff -- whether she would play second base or shortstop.
"I didn't really like playing second base because I felt I had to a good enough arm to play somewhere else," said Springer, now a sophomore. "They finally got it in their head and put me at shortstop."
The transition to shortstop worked out well for Saks, which went on to be the best team in its classification. This year, Springer has continued to improve, helping Saks return to the Class 3A state tournament, which begins Friday. The Lady Wildcats open at noon against Winfield at Montgomery's Lagoon Park.
"I'm just trying to go out there and show out for my team and give it everything I've got. We just need to go out there and play our game and make plays," Springer said. "We may be young, but we're on varsity for a reason. We're working hard for our seniors. I feel like we could make a run for it again."
This year, Springer has developed into one of the team's top offensive threats. Still starting at shortstop, she is batting .356 with a team-high 57 hits and 30 runs.
"I don't even think she was hitting as well on JV as she is now," Saks first-year coach Michelle Lively said. "She's just taken on this role of wanting to be the first person on base and wanting to be the first person to touch home. That's just her goal."
The hard work Springer put in during the offseason showed in the South
Central Regional last weekend, as she hit a team-high .467 with seven hits in four games, including a 4-for-4 performance against Susan Moore on Friday.
"I've been hitting a lot more this year and getting points for my team," she said. "We just had some workouts and stuff. I don't have a special trainer
I just work on my technique and skills and the rest just comes naturally."
And Springer's strong play on the field at a pivotal position also has transformed the underclassman into a vocal leader.
"It's crazy that someone is like that as 10th-grader," Lively said. "I think she made some plays last year at the state tournament, but she just has a drive for it now. I don't know what happened between basketball season and softball season, but she's just gotten super serious about it."
While Springer has made personal adjustments from being on junior varsity to a second-year starter, Saks as a whole has also made improvements this season, as well, after starting the year 2-4. Now at 34-14-1, Lively said the Lady Wildcats simply need to hit better for ace pitcher Taylor West, who has thrown eight no-hitters and six perfect games this season.
"From where I saw us when we started, I knew we weren't back at the level we were last year. Of course you've got that target on your back and no one thought we were going to repeat and we started out pretty weak," Lively said. "But eventually we turned it on and it clicked after we won the Lincoln tournament earlier in the year. We just kept getting better and getting better."

So I need help with installing iDeneb v1.3 on my Dell laptop. which is an Inspiron 1318 on windows 7... It boots up to the Apple logo with the loading circle and it stays on that forever, every time! I'm new to his sort of stuff with the OSx86 project, but i did manage to boot it in verbose mode and got a picture of what came up, and from what i see there wasn't any errors. What do i do?
I also have an Acer Aspire One AOA150 ZG5 that I don't even know where to start to install it.(what software to use and whatnot). Anyway I'd greatly appreciate it to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks. The link below will show you the photo of the verbose boot.

1665 Haight St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411737.769537 -122.450000
Daily 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Haight, Central
Enchanting and Comfortable – Eat, sleep, interact and communicate. A place combining the elements of a peaceful livelihood, the Red Vic Peace Center offers its guests a place to enjoy the art of its in-house artist and founder, Sami Sunchild, to gather with like-minded folks from around the world, to enjoy a meal, and to experience the living landmark in one of the most dynamic and influential areas of San Francisco: the Haight!
I would definitely recommend this establishment to a friend...or a stranger!
Fun and funky – Nestled in the heart of Haight Ashbury, this hotel has managed to keep a torch lit for the days of peace, love, and long hair. Definitely fun and funky.
Groovy hippie B&B – The rooms are unique, as are the shared bathrooms. Each individually crafted. There was a problem with one of the toilets in a shared bathroom being clogged, which was TOTALLY gross. Some rooms have their own bathrooms. I enjoyed the breakfast round table discussion with the owner and other guests, but discussions were one-sided and opinionated. The common area is relaxing and peaceful. Too bad Haight Street is such a haven for scam artists and dealers anymore. The history of this beautiful building is interesting, as well as the proprietor's history.
Peace, love and tie-dye at this affordable B&B with a hippie vibe. – In Short
For a true San Francisco experience, reserve the Summer of Love Room, where the bed is draped with a tie-dyed canopy and tangerine-colored walls are adorned with authentic '60s-era posters--there's a lava lamp as well. From the Skylight Room and the Redwood Forest Room to the Flower Child Room and Japanese Tea Garden Room, each space has a unique decor and theme. Most have in-room sinks; bathrooms are shared. A continental breakfast buffet is included in the room rate.

Great quality for storing recipes or photos
- By: Beth Karimi
Augusta, GA
Posted: Jun 24, 2010
I am using the perservers for storing 4 X 6 size recipe cards. They are thick and clear. The quality is great. These will last for many years to come even with the heavy use as in a recipe binder. The size given for the item online was very accurate and complete which helped a lot when deciding if they would fit my recipe binder.

The Clark County Solid Waste Program provides education and technical support to all schools located in Clark County. The Clark County Solid Waste Program works closely with teachers, principles, administrators, and parents to educate students about the 4-R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rot ...or should we say, Compost). We offer technical assistance to schools through waste audits, onsite school assistance and offer recommendations and support to reduce the amount of waste generated at schools.
We are able to provide schools with:
- Classroom presentations about the 4 R's
- Free assembly program for participating SOS schools
- Field trips to West Van Materials Recovery Center
- Teacher support via teacher workshops
- Waste audits
- Curriculum resources
- Student workbooks and posters
- Education Teachers' Trunks to check out
- Recycling containers
The Clark County Solid Waste Program has also developed the award winning Save Organic Scraps Program. The SOS program is a new program currently available to schools in the Vancouver, Evergreen, and Camas School District to collect organic masterial from the schools to be composted. The SOS program is a comprehensive program that begins the collection of organic material at participating schools and also improves the current recycling practices at schools. Eventually, the goal of the program is for all schools in Clark County to participate in the SOS program.

Inspired by the mysterious ending of Edgar Allan Poe's strange and only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, this novel follows Christopher Jaynes, professor of African American Literature, who discovers a crudely crafted manuscript reportedly written by a real survivor of the Poe adventure -- half breed Indian/dark-skinned freedman, Dirk Peters. Ship's cook on Poe's fictional Antarctic voyage that erupted in mutiny, Dirk Peters not only led the uprising, but survived starvation, cannibalism, Antarctic ice and albino giants. Attaining Tsalal, a tropical isle of horrific blackness according to Poe's description, Peters offers a very different account than Pym.
Our protagonist, Christopher Jaynes, is dismissed from his post as professor of African American Literature for refusing to join the college Diversity Committee, and devoting too much time to the study of Whiteness, rather than Blackness, so he organizes an Antarctic journey to pursue his research. Jaynes manages to collect a posse of black friends to help him pursue Peters' tale of ice caves, white Antarctic giants, and the mythical land of Tsalal. What ensues is an amazing tale of ice, slavery, adventure, popular art, Armageddon, rat poison, and Little Debbie snack cakes. Perhaps we could sum it up as an absurdist science fiction sequel to Poe's Pym. No doubt it is a picaresque novel in its own right, but perhaps also a parody of fantasy meta-fiction? Or simply a black comedy about whiteness? Whatever we call it, it is a very funny book.

Reading notes and discussion questions
About the Author
"Born to an Irish-American father and an African American mother and raised in the Philadelphia area, Mat Johnson writes primarily about the lives of African Americans, using fiction, nonfiction and graphic novels as mediums. He is the author of the novels PYM (2011), Hunting in Harlem (2003), and Drop (2000); the nonfiction novella The Great Negro Plot; and the graphic novels Incognegro (2008), Dark Rain (2010), and Right State (2012).
Until 2000, Johnson was a regular columnist for New York's Time Out magazine. His column, entitled "Utter Matness," dealt with a wide breadth of issues--some funny, some serious, but all thought-provoking. Johnson also wrote a blog from 2006-2007 entitled "Niggerati Manor," which discussed African American literature and culture.
In 2007, Johnson was named the first USA James Baldwin Fellow by the United States Artists Foundation, a public charity that supports and promotes the work of American artists. He was awarded the 2011 John Dos Passos Prize for Literature, and prestigious Hurston-Wright Legacy Award for fiction. He is also a recipient of a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. Mat Johnson is a faculty member at the University of Houston Creative Writing Program."

"Chris Jaynes, professor of African American studies … devises a mission to find the lost, black-inhabited island near Antarctica described in Poe's narrative, setting off with an all-black crew that includes his seafaring cousin; his obese friend Garth; his ex-fiancee, Angela, and her husband, Nathaniel; and two flamboyant mechanics. They discover something else described in Poe's narrative … giant, yeti-like, albino humanoids living in large colonies below the ice in Antarctica. This extension of Poe's adventure is a romp that surprises on every page. Funny, insightful, racially important, Pym is a death-defying adventure and a probing examination of notions of race, even at the farthest ends of the earth."
– Julie Hunt, Booklist
"Loony, disrespectful, and sharp, Johnson's Pym is a welcome riff on the surrealistic shudder-fest that is Poe's original…I'll stop there, but Johnson's inventiveness never does."
– NPR's "Fresh Air"
"PYM reframes far more than Poe – it reframes everything American, from the whiteness of Ahab's whale to Detroit bus drivers; from DNA testing to tenure review; from the Gatsbyesque dream of romantic love to the dream of Utopia; from our fear of life to our love of death. No one today writes inside the brilliant black mind better."
– Alice Randall, author of The Wind Done Gone and Rebel Yell
"Social criticism rubs shoulders with cutting satire in this high-concept adventure… [PYM] is caustically hilarious as it offers a memorable take on America's 'racial pathology' and 'the whole ugly story of our world.'"
– Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The topic of slavery repeatedly makes subversive and sometimes hilarious appearances. Booker's dog, for example, is named "White Folks." Says Jaynes: "My cousin loved calling his name in anger." Johnson's Pym is unpredictable and wide open to interpretation. Is Jaynes's journey about reconciling his mixed heritage in a world where even "one drop" of African blood makes you a "Negro"? Perhaps. In a story as entertaining and intriguing as Pym, it hardly seems to matter."
– Maclean's
"Relentlessly entertaining ... It's no easy task to balance social satire against life-threatening adventure, the allegory against the gory, but Johnson's hand is steady and his ability to play against Poe's text masterly. The book is polyphonous and incisive, an uproarious and hard-driving journey."
– New York Times Book Review
"Riotous ... Jaynes never learns much about the white pathology and mindset, but Mr. Johnson knows plenty about the character types he skewers."
– Wall Street Journal
"Blisteringly funny ... a full-fledged and fiendishly inventive inversion of Poe's [Pym], a series of bizarre encounters I can't bring myself to spoil, each one more deliciously pointed than the last."
– Laura Miller, Salon

FORTUNE -- It's over, thank goodness, the election is over. Americans all over the ideological map can, at least, celebrate together that the attack ads, snarky debates, and divisive narratives of this presidential race have come to an end.
The ability to agree on that, or anything, may be our saving grace. The U.S. is facing serious challenges, one of which being the fiscal cliff -- severe spending cuts that kick in January 1 should Congress fail to pass a plan to address the federal budget deficit. To tackle the problems we face, politicians and we the people have to undo much of the thinking that this campaign solidified.
Candidates have spent around $400 million each on attack advertisements during this campaign. The vast majority of those ads were negative, according to data crunched by Kantar Media/CMAG and published in the Washington Post. Most of us know and hate these attack ads. They pull the cheap tricks of B-list movies: ominous voiceovers, fade-in text, music and camera angles designed to unsettle the viewer.
MORE: Why Obama's win may boost housing
Though they are hardly cinematographic genius, what the ads do very well is paint the opposition as "the other." President Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China," claimed an attack ad funded by the Romney campaign. Despite being false, the ad plays on a xenophobia that would be almost comical if the spot wasn't produced in earnest by the G.O.P. Both parties are guilty, of course. The Democratic party's tag line on ads run in Ohio was "Mitt Romney. Not one of us." What does that even mean? Nothing useful for building a cohesive union.
"There's been billions of dollars spent dividing the nation," says David Rock, executive director of a consultancy firm called the NeuroLeadership Group that aims to apply neuroscience to business leadership strategies. "Now you're going to have a large percentage of the population that is really not going to listen and would like to see that the President fail."
That is because our brains automatically file people into either an "in-group" or an "out-group," according to Rock. Effective ads and vitriol can lead us to strengthen a person or party's status in the out-group. Once someone enters the out-group, we perceive that person differently and become less able to empathize. "The third area that's quite insidious," Rock adds, "is we are literally rewarded when an out-group member fails. We like it."
But for the sake of the country, Republicans and Democrats do not have time to bait then gloat one another's failures. So how do we rewire, now that we must? We have to build new in-groups, Rock says, which people do around shared experiences, goals, or threats.
Government has done this before. Former South African president Nelson Mandela brilliantly manufactured a shared national experience when he brought a racially divided nation together to support its rugby team, the Springboks, in the 1995 World Cup.
Last week, superstorm Sandy battered the East Coast, providing New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie with an excellent reason to work in tandem with the federal government -- on its own, the state could not cope with the damage. After the storm, Governor Christie told Fox News, regarding President Obama, "He has been very attentive and anything that I've asked for, he's gotten to me, so I thank the President publicly for that. He has done, as far as I'm concerned, a great job for New Jersey."
MORE: The case for taking a real lunch break
But America cannot wait for a sports event or another storm to get us to work together. Unfortunately, according to Rock, forming a new in-group often requires a visceral common goal -- something that taps into our gut instinct rather than our intellect. Political ads and public jabs work well because they trigger an emotional response. It's strange to say, but to get political parties to work together, leaders may have to continue to use alarmist language, but shift it away from each other and direct it a common threat.
They can also play down previous disagreements, says Kristin Behfar, a professor of business administration at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business. "When talking about a very divisive campaign, you might change the comparison to what happens in China or countries where elections and campaigns are fraught with problems we don't have," she says. "Therefore, you make the process and behavior here look better than a 'different other.'"
President Obama brought the point home early on Wednesday, arguing in his acceptance speech that tough economic conditions will always create controversy. "We can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today." In other words, this was an ugly race, but the alternative, a "different other," would be worse.
Of course, speeches are just a first, small step towards reconnecting a polarized population. Now Congress needs to unfreeze. It might even be approaching that necessary thaw, if House Speaker John Boehner spoke honestly during a press conference Wednesday: "We're closer than many think to the critical mass needed legislatively to get tax reform done," he said. Time will tell if Congress' proximity to agreement will lead to action and, perhaps more importantly, if the public is ready to reward political leaders who are willing to redefine their adversaries as colleagues.

The museum begins with the original inhabitants of the area and what life was like for the first settlers, using everyday objects to bring it to life. The exhibits follows the history of New Orleans as it became a city and the changes it experienced under Spanish, French, and English rule.
Most interesting are the cultural-history displays detailing old New Orleans society, from dueling to the quadroon balls to mourning rituals. The museum also has Napoleon's death mask.

There are companies who can probably polish out the rust stains
I am replacing an old 1986 lavatory faucet (8" widespread) in my home as part of a remodel. When I took off the old faucet, it left rust stains around the handles in the cultured marble. The cultered marble counters are in great shape and I would like to keep them, but when I set the new faucet handles in, the rust stains are visible. The old faucet at the base was 2 1/2" diameter, and the new one is 1 1/2", so there is approx. 1/2" of rust stain around the new handles. We have tried all of the products to try to take the rust stain out but with no luck.
My question is: Is there any kind of trim plate or escutcheon that I can mount under the new handles that is 2 1/2" diameter to hide the rust stains? Ideally it would be flat, like a washer, and chrome to match the new faucet with a 1" hole in the middle. I have looked at the local big box stores and searched the internet but have not found anything. I know they make similar plates for bath faucets...
thanks in advance,
There are companies who can probably polish out the rust stains
Guys who install granite/stone slabs are really good at filling/polishing/making disappear imperfections in their stuff,
using epoxy fillers. Maybe you could find one of them to grind out and fill the bad spots, if he/she is willing to work
on "cultured marble" (= plastic).

ImageMagick is a suite of image manipulation tools (animate, composite, conjure, convert, display, identify, import, mogrify and montage) that are sometimes used by other applications for processing image files. For more information about ImageMagick, visit the vendor's site at the following URL.
Remote exploitation of a sign extension vulnerability in ImageMagick, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability specifically exists in the ReadDIBImage() as shown below.
558 image->columns=(unsigned long) dib_info.width ... 620 bytes_per_line=4*((image->columns*dib_info.bits_per_pixel+31)/32); 621 length=bytes_per_line*image->rows; 622 pixels=(unsigned char *) AcquireMagickMemory((size_t) MagickMax( 623 bytes_per_line,image->columns+256)*image->rows*sizeof(*pixels)); ... 629 count=ReadBlob(image,length,pixels); ... 638 status=DecodeImage(image,dib_info.compression ? MagickTrue : MagickFalse,pixels);
At line 558, "dib_info.width" is a signed short, which is extended to an unsigned long and assigned to "image->columns". For example, a value of 0x8000 will be extended to 0xffff8000. Later, it is used as a multiplier when calculating the allocation size. An integer overflow occurs, leading to a heap block of insufficient size being allocated. Consequently, a heap buffer overflow occurs.
Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user.
One way of exploiting this vulnerability is to persuade a targeted user to open a malicious image file with a program that utilizes the ImageMagick library.
As the tools that are part of ImageMagick are sometimes used as helper tools by other applications, this user may be the same as the web server user. This scenario is somewhat more severe than the previously described attack vector since the image processing can occur automatically.
iDefense Labs confirmed that ImageMagick version 6.3.4 is vulnerable. It is suspected that other versions of ImageMagick are also vulnerable.
Exposure to this vulnerability can be mitigated by moving or deleting the related module files. The file locations may vary between distributions. The globbing expression listed below corresponds to a Red Hat Linux system.
The ImageMagick maintainers have addressed this vulnerability with the release of version 6.3.5-9. More information is available from the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2007-4988 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Rangers succumb to Jr. Bucs
William Tell was the archer that put an arrow through the apple atop a boys head, and on Tuesday night at Brooks Gym, Calen Archer's big shot put an arrow through the hearts of the Unaka Rangers.
Archer scored on a putback shot that helped University High (8-2, 3-0 WVC) hold off the Rangers 45-38 in Watauga Valley Conference play.
"Archer made a huge play on that putback shot," said Jr Bucs coach Justin Penley. "He really wants to be good, and he comes to practice every day and works hard at it. He has a strong work ethic and he's the kind of kid you root for and like to see be successful."
Archer's rebound and deuce gave the Bucs a 40-36 lead with under a minute remaining in regulation and gave UH some much-needed breathing room down the stretch.
Unaka 61
University High 30
Senior guard Alicia Colbaugh scored a game-high 17 points and helped lead a Unaka defense that took advantage of 27 Lady Bucs turnovers as the Lady Rangers cruised to victory.
"It was an ugly win it seemed like," said Colbaugh. "I think we came in with big heads and took them too lightly in the first half. We stepped it up in the second half and played with more focus."

- More of a massage aid than grooming tool Review by Gene
Your Rating Product KONG Zoom Groom DOG Boysenberry
Our miniature long-haired dachshund puppy is a little "skittish" when we get this out (as he is with any type of grooming aid). We have gotten him comfortable with it, but the "fingers" on it are not really designed for grooming (my opinion). It is really more like a massage tool than a grooming tool. If you are looking for a true grooming aid, you may want to look for something more traditional. (Posted on 2/9/13)
- Great product Review by CDL
Your Rating Product KONG Zoom Groom DOG Boysenberry
I lost my first one. I use it for my Great Dane and it works great. She loves it because it's like a body massage. Can use wet for bathing or dry for general grooming. (Posted on 3/10/11)

Bellevue >Food & Dining > Flo Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar
1150 106th Ave Ne, Bellevue, WA | Directions 9800447.620777 -122.198953
Lunch Mon-Fri 1130am-230pm
Dinner nightly 5pm-10pm
Happy hour Mon-Fri
Neighborhoods: Northwest Bellevue
Ranks as probably the worst sushi experience I've ever had! I don't typically post reviews unless I feel I've been duped, -- and in this case, based on the reviews I read that enticed me to order from Flo's -- I feel I've been duped!
Overpriced for the small portions you receive with less than stellar quality and taste. We ordered 2 seaweed salads (just give people a seaweed salad and not all the crap you deem a seaweed salad!), dynamite seafood app (mediocre, at best), 2 miso type soups (inedible!! overly salted and just plain gross - threw it away), Washington hand roll (smallest hand roll ever and practically inedible) , lastly another special roll which was recommended over the phone that we didn't finish. I don't mind dropping $76 if the food is average/edible, but in this case I threw nearly half in the garbage.
The only reason I'm giving Flo's 2 star is because the customer service was good. Shame your sushi isn't up to par. Never again. Good luck.
Best Japanese Restaurant on the East Side – Flo is an outstanding restaurant by any measure. For the relatively modest size of the restaurant, the menu is varied and the preparation uniformly superb.
While every item on the menu is good, I would most highly recomment the 5 course tasting menu. At first blush, it appears a tad expensive ... but once you have been served this menu, you will gladly order it again. Every dish in the tasting menu is outstanding, and perfectly paired. Of course, it is different every time you visit the restaurant, adding to the specialness of each opportunity to dine here.
The personnel of the restaurant are committed to creating a great dining experience, and seem to be long-term employees. They are very good at remembering clients, even those who visit only a few times a year, and make you feel welcome in a way that only a smaller restaurant can.
I consider the restaurant a good value -- quality of food, consistency, service and choice are all first rate.
While I 'headlined' my review by citing Flo as the 'best on the east side', this is really not generous enough. I would be hard pressed to name a materially better Japanese restaurant in Seattle. In fact, having traveled to Japan with some regularity on business over the last decade, this is just an excellent restaurant by any standard.
The only change I might make would be to expand/improve the wine list. But this is a minor 'nit' and the excellent choices in Sake (warm or cold) make up for this almost insignificant limitation.
Thank you for your great review Porsche, we truly appreciate it. We're thrilled you enjoyed our 5 course tasting menu. Many people have come to enjoy that, especially on special occasions. Thank you for mentioning our great customer service as well. This is a big point of focus for us as well and we're glad you found the hospitality to your liking.
Thanks and we hope to see you again soon
The team at Flo Sushi Restaurant
Excellent Service, Quality Sushi – I just went to Flo today (July 2008) for lunch. I sat alone at the sushi bar, and first of all the service was perfect. The hostess acted as my wait staff, filling my water, delivering my food and taking care of every detail. The sushi chef greeted me, kindly answered my questions and provided exceptional service. The food was amazing, and very filling. $14 bento box, with salad, soup, rice, edamame, shrimp/vegie tempura and then 2 choices. I went for the sashimi (2 kinds, 4 pieces total) and the spicy crunch hamachi roll (4 pieces). This was the perfect size lunch and the fish was so fresh. Lastly, the place is spotless, right down to the ladies room.
I give it 4 forks out 4.

The Staff at Flo Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Shame on you rgm079! – Why do people like this take such time to do such things? It is so, so obvious who you are. If your going to do this...at least write another review on somebody to cover your tracks. Please don't take your personal issues out on the restaurant by writing bogus reviews.
HI there Darrind - I'm not sure who this is - and as the owner of Flo Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar I commend you sticking up for our Bellevue Restaurant. I feel like most reviews are fair and wish for only positive comments from our fans, and if people air discrepancies in service, food or decor at Flo, that is fine too. We use the feedback, both good and bad, to form a better sushi restaurant experience for our guests. Thank you
The Staff at Flo Japanese Restaurant
Not much as its price – I had dinner only two times, but no more.
The decor and mood and service are good, but its tastes is not so.
Egg custard steamed in teacup ("Chawanmushi" in Japanese) was not set (I know it's difficult to cook).
Sushi is not so good as its price.Other dises is not outstanding.
I won't recommend to my Japanese friends.There are other good Japanese restaurants with resonable price in Bellevue.
Hi rgm079 - we hope you reconsider your experience and try us again. We are sorry if your dining experience didn't live up to the expectations. We are happy to be quite busy during this down market, and believe that is due to our outstanding quality, reliability and consistency and professional service and presentation. Thank you for your review.
Flo Japanese Sushi Restaurant Team
This place is real. – I have seen simple progress since the beginning 5 years ago. But the past few visits, there seems to be a major improvement in basic fundamental techniques from the kitchen. They must have a new kitchen chef. The basic tempura and sauces are the same but specials are different.
The sushi bar items are always consistent and quality is there. Did notice the sushi bar is not as crowded as in the past. Did notice their head sushi chef is not up front as much. I use to sit at the bar in the past and enjoyed conversations with the chefs but lately, with the "change" of staff, it has not been as enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, the chefs there now are OK, but not as conversational. This could be reason for less of a crowd on counter. But quality is still there and rather consistent.
I wrote this review from a view point of someone in the industry...and I decided to write this because of my interest in food and felt this restaurant is for real. Not a hype of fusion with masked flavors. Hope most of you who do enjoy food will be able to come to understand the differences.
Thank you kevin12 - we truly appreciate the comments. At Flo Japanese Restaurant and Sushi bar in Bellevue we consistently strive for the highest quality freshness and presentation. We feel like our growth and popularity reflect this as well. We look forward to having you in again sometime soon.

Not Worth Trying – My daughter and I are quite disappointed at the food we had at Flo. After reading so many good reviews on this site, we thought of giving it a try. On the way out, my daughter said to me, she will never come back again. The fish was not fresh. The rice was wet. We ordered a soft shelf crab from the kitchen and when it came out, it was coated with chunks of bread crumbs. My daughter took two bites and wouldn't finish it.
good bellevue japanese food – It took a while for Flo to gain momentum and popularity but I'm glad they made it! The food is always very consistent (consistently good) and the staffs are friendly. Parking is easy but the parking stalls in the building is really tight for larger size cars. Try sitting at the bar, the sushi chef makes some great and adventurous recommendations.
Wonderful experience – I had a wonderful experience with my girlfriend. The menu was more origional than most japanese restaurants I've tried. The sushi was the freshest I've ever had, and actually set a new standard for fresh with me. The portions were perfect. I was fortunate enough to have enough room left for Chef Brandons salatious chocolate fondue.
This place is fresh period, the food, the decor, the attitudes. I Highly recommed a visit.
I've been back since their menu change and I love it!
Do not miss out on the Kobe Tataki with Wasabi infused Creme Fraiche, I could eat it every day.

Scheduling Policies & Procedures
The Instructional Services Department of Pace University Library makes every effort to accommodate all requests for course-integrated library research instruction. The goal of these guidelines is to ensure a positive experience for faculty, librarian-instructors, and students.
- All requests should be made at least two weeks prior to the requested date. During peak instruction times (September-mid-November; February-March), three to four weeks' notice is preferred because of limited room and librarian availability.
- Please give a minimum of two dates per instruction request in case we are not able to accommodate your preferred date due to limited librarian and classroom availability.
- Submit (email is preferred) the syllabus, research assignment, and sample topics to Instructional Services a minimum of five business days prior to the date of the Library Instruction Session. This is extremely important, as there is no "General" library instruction session. Every session is tailored to the specific assignment and research topics of your class. Student feedback shows that sessions are more effective when they have chosen their topics in advance. If we have not received this information by two business days before the session, we reserve the right to cancel the instruction session.
- Participation by the professor during the library research instruction session is crucial to the success of the class. Feedback from students indicates that levels of student engagement are higher when the professor is present in order to answer student questions pertaining to the assignment. Any class that arrives at a library instruction session without a professor may be cancelled.
Timeliness is appreciated. Our sessions are designed to take the full amount of class time you schedule with us.

Trapping, Tracking and Studying A Bear Spotted Near Warren, MN"We had a close encounter of the furry kind and it turned out to be the biggest furry animal I've encountered in my life. A brown bear," said Hughes.
"This is one of the best kept secrets in all of Minnesota," said Heidi Hughes, manager of the Audubon Center of the Red River Valley near Warren, Minnesota. She is a big fan of the lush, green woods that surround the center, and where she makes her home.
As Hughes found out, good secrets do not stay secret too long.
"We had a close encounter of the furry kind and it turned out to be the biggest furry animal I've encountered in my life. A brown bear," said Hughes.
The bear has visited Hughes and the center every night this week, messing with her bird feeders and tearing apart trash cans. That is not all.
"He left behind a surprise. They call it scat," said Hughes, smiling.
Seeing this as an opportunity for science, Hughes and the Minnesota DNR will trap it, track it, and study it.
Trapping one is not a bear of a task by any means. Two cyllinders were placed in the woods, and a bacon was placed inside of an onion bag. The bacon dangles from a wire, and the wire trips a trap door keeping the bear inside of the cyllinder.
"The DNR comes, they put the bear on the tarp and go through tests and kind of give it a physical," said Jennifer Knott, who has caught two bears with these traps.
The bear gets a collar and a GPS will track where it goes and what it does. These are the only two traps like this set out in Minnesota. Bears are not usually in western Minnesota, so it should be pretty safe.
"It's unique because we're in hunting season, so this bear will have 480 acres to move around in and not have to worry about being hunted," said Hughes.

Reportings: Fed hatred; Groupon IPO; end the 30-year mortgage!
Scott Olson/Getty Images
A sign marks the location of the Groupon headquarters on November 30, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois.
Bruce Krasting goes after the Federal Reseve. He doesn't hold back: "I want the Fed to fail so miserably that they are marginalized for the next twenty years. I want Bernanke fired. I want the Fed disgraced." (Bruce Krasting)
How to do an IPO, the Groupon-Goldman Sachs way: "The hardest step is the first: getting aboard this money train in the first place. You go in with a huge pitchbook that tells the company how awesome they are, how awesomely you'd tell the world how awesome they are, and how awesome you are at IPOs, etc." (Dealbreaker)
Abolish the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage! "At heart, it comes down to this: the 30-year fixed-rate product is always going to shift a huge amount of interest-rate risk onto the government in one form or another." (Felix Salmon)

Bullet Points: The Federal Reserve's latest Beige Book
AP Photo / J. Scott Applewhite
The Federal Reserve Building in Washington, DC.
The Federal Reserve publishes its so-called "Beige Book," a snapshot of the economy taken through the lens of the Fed's district banks, eight times per year. It is booor-ing. You may not even want to read the executive summary of the latest version. Luckily, you don't have to, because I've broken it down into bullet points. And I've assigned my own grades, on how the various parts of the struggling economy are doing. (The Fed, needless to say, doesn't hand out grades.)
•The Big Picture
"...overall economic activity continued to expand in September, although many Districts described the pace of growth as 'modest' or 'slight' and contacts generally noted weaker or less certain outlooks for business conditions."
Translation: Stuckflation, an economy going nowhere, for the rest of the year.
Federal Reserve plans to monitor blogs and social media. But will it actually read them?
The times, they are a-changin' at the stodgy old Federal Reserve. We used to think of it a financial temple from which a priestly caste of economic policy makers would periodically emerge to make oracular pronouncements of the sort depicted in the video of Fed chairman Alan Greenspan bantering with Ron Paul. Now the Fed plans to keep track of social media and the blogosphere to better understand how it's perceived.
This is from a really great Neal Ungerleider story at Fast Company:
[T]he Fed is now evaluating bids for a social media analysis system that will mine data from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs, and web forums--beginning in December. In order to "handle crisis situations" and "track reach and spread of […] messages and press releases," the project will also identify a number of what they call "key bloggers and influencers" to target with their outreach, and presumably monitoring, efforts.
Let's rebrand 'Operation Twist'
So the Federal Reserve, to no one's surprise, is going to adjust its portfolio, selling short-term debt and buying long-term debt in a effort to drive interest rates down below the surface of the sea and involve mermaids in the magical business of monetary policy and the recovery of the U.S. economy. They're calling it "Operation Twist," after a similar maneuver that was last executed in 1961, back when Chubby Checker had the kids a-twistin' like Ben Bernanke after a barbecue lunch with Rick Perry in Lubbock. (MSNBC actually tracked down Chubby for his perspective, and he provided the in-fact quite good advice to just spend money).
Even the Fed, it turns out, can't get enough of the 'Mad Men' era. What's next? Let's hope it's not "Operation Cuban Missile Crisis."
Operation Twist Again probably isn't going to perform miracles — economists figure it could add slightly to GDP growth and bring unemployment down marginally. But it's disappointing that our economy is in such a downer that our Central Bank has to set the Wayback Machine to the Kennedy Administration to come up with its voodoo — and that American culture has gotten so bad at generating cool new names for dances that the Fed has to reference a year when the Dow started at 610 and finished at 731. Not that we'll headed for those numbers again. But I'm just saying'…
Econ 474: Why does the Tea Party think Ben Bernanke is a traitor?
This week's Republican candidates debate, presented by CNN and sponsored by the Tea Party, featured a moment when Texas Gov. Rick Perry was cheered for restating his rather negative views of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. This is from Talking Points Memo:
[H]ost Wolf Blitzer brought up Gov. Rick Perry's comments that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's emergency economic policies "almost treasonous." Perry stood by the comment…"I am not a fan of the current chairman allowing that Federal Reserve to be used to cover up bad fiscal policy by this administration," Perry said. "And that, I will suggest to you, is what we have seen."
Perry continued:
"It is a travesty that young people in America are seeing their dollars devalued in what…we don't know if it was political or not because of the transparency issue," Perry said. "But I stand behind this: we need to have a Fed that's working towards sound monetary policy, that creates a strong dollar in America, and we do not have that today."

This scale goes way beyond reloading scales commonly offered on the market. This precision scale weighs to 2/100th of a grain instead of 1/10th as most other reloading scales. The large footprint provides a very stable weighing platform. The scale has a glass air shield, a flip-up hard cover, a calibration weight, an integral centering bubble level, and adjustable feet. The scale can weigh in grains or grams. A nice feature of this scale is the weight percentage function that is useful when sorting brass. It also has a weight counting function (useful for counting bullets). Now listen to this, the Sartorius scale has a TWO (2) YEAR WARRANTY. You don't see many electronic products with a warranty like that. Capacity: 1852 grains. Scale Weight: 2.6 lbs.

Implications of the Affordable Care Act for People With HIV Infection and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: What Does the Future Hold?
There are numerous aspects of the Affordable Care Act that will be important for people with HIV in the U.S., — however, it is unlikely that these changes will address all the needs of people with HIV. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program will thus remain crucial for the provision of adequate health care to HIV-infected individuals, but it will need to change. Changes in the Ryan White Program's role will depend largely on state decisions on Medicaid expansion and health care marketplaces.

I'll be at the Forrester Consumer Forum called Humanizing the Digital Experience tuesday and wedsnesday. If there's anything interesting, i'll post it.
From the brochure: Cheap devices and the mainstream adoption of broadband and wireless networks make technology a more accessible, everyday part of people's lives. Just a few cases in point: More than half of online US households use broadband today; sales of camera phones will bypass digital cameras within three years; and sub-$100 PCs are bringing technology to global masses. At the same time, people are exerting more control over digital experiences by generating their own content and connecting with others online — witness the double-digit growth of social networking sites like MySpace and LinkedIn. These empowered consumers expect technology to conform to — not dictate — their needs and behaviors. Thus, they have zero tolerance for clumsy, cold, and confusing digital experiences. At this Event, leading Forrester analysts will present research on how brands are humanizing the digital experience, and industry executives will share their companies' best practices for creating inviting and intuitive multichannel experiences.

Catching up with Hansel and Gretel 15 years after their incident involving a gingerbread house, the siblings have evolved into bounty hunters who hunt witches. ...
Rating: R for strong fantasy horror violence and gore, brief sexuality/nudity and language
Length: 88 minutes
Released: January 25, 2013 Nationwide
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Jeremy Renner, Famke Janssen, Thomas Mann, Peter Stormare
Director: Tommy Wirkola
Writer: Tommy Wirkola, Dante Harper
An R-rated horror action comedy fairytale — how's that for genre bending?
"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is more Gatling guns and grenades than The Brothers Grimm. It takes the kidnapped kiddies into adulthood, where they've parlayed their fame at cooking a witch's goose into a business. Got a witch problem? Call H & G — the extermination experts.
High concept pitch or no, the movie doesn't really work. They were shooting for sort of a witch-hunting "Zombieland," an f-bomb-riddled "Van Helsing" packed with comical anachronisms — a Bavarian forest past with witch trials, pump shotguns and primitive tasers, where bottles of milk have woodcut pictures of "missing children" on the labels.
Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) show up just as the village of Augsburg is about to burn a redhead. "Gingers" were a favorite target of witch hunters. Hansel shrugs this barbaric crime off, but Gretel insists that the locals need "evidence." That puts them in conflict with the sheriff (Peter Stormare), who can't get a handle on their "witch plague" and the missing children who come with it. H & G have been hired to do what he cannot.
It isn't long after Hansel mutters "Anyplace we can get a drink in this hell hole?" that the siblings are on the job, chasing lesser witches in pursuit of the Great Witch, played by Famke Janssen as if the makeup is going to do all the acting for her.
And there may be troll involved.
"Trolls are extra," Hansel growls, always watching their bottom line.
Hansel and Gretel have a groupie (Thomas Mann), and the woman (Pihla Viitala) they saved from burning in the opening scene wants to repay the favor to Hansel, a repayment that involves skinny dipping. And when they're on the clock, they have all manner of clever gear to help them battle the wand-wielders — pistols, rifles, a semi-automatic crossbow, the aforementioned taser (hand-cranked).
Writer-director Tommy Wirkola focuses on the fights and flings all manner of viscera at the 3-D camera as limbs are whacked off and heads and torsos explode. Less attention was paid to the story, and the dialogue is a tad over-reliant on the random f-word to land a laugh.
The cleverest touch? Hansel's mania for candy-covered houses is what landed Hansel & Gretel in that witch's clutches, all those years ago. Now, he carries an ancient hypodermic needle and takes injections to ward off insulin shock.
The moral of the fairytale? Lay off the candy or a witch'll get you.
