Ancient woodland
In the United Kingdom, an ancient woodland is a woodland that has existed continuously since 1600 or before in England and Wales (or 1750 in Scotland). Before those dates, planting of new woodland was uncommon, so a wood present in 1600 was likely to have developed naturally.[1] The analogous American term is "old-growth forest".
For many species of animal and plant, ancient woodland sites provide the sole habitat, and for many others, conditions on these sites are much more suitable than those on other sites. Ancient woodland in the UK, like rainforest in the tropics, is home to rare and threatened species, more than any other UK habitat. For these reasons ancient woodland is often described as an irreplaceable resource, or 'critical natural capital'.[2]
Ancient woodland is formally defined on maps by Natural England and equivalent bodies. Many ancient woodlands have legal protection of various types, but it is not automatically the case that any ancient woodland is protected.
The definition of ancient woodland includes several sub-types. Ancient semi-natural woodland (ASNW) is composed of native tree species that have not obviously been planted; features of ancient woodland often survive in many of these woods as well, including characteristic wildlife and structures of archaeological interest.
Species which are particularly characteristic of ancient woodland sites are called ancient woodland indicator (AWI) species, such as bluebells, the yellow rattle and wood anemone, representing a type of ecological indicator.[3] The term tends to be applied more usefully to desiccation-sensitive plant species, and particularly lichens and bryophytes, than to animals, as they are slower to colonise planted woodlands, and are thus viewed as more reliable indicators of ancient woodland sites. Sequences of pollen analysis are also indicators of forest continuity.
Lists of ancient woodland indicator species among vascular plants were developed by the Nature Conservancy Council (now Natural England) for each region of England, each list containing the hundred most reliable indicators for that region. The methodology involved studying the flora of known woodland sites and analysing patterns of occurrence to determine which species were most indicative of sites from before 1600. Although ancient woodland indicator species can and do occur in post-1600 woodlands, and also in non-woodland sites such as hedgerows, it is uncommon for a site which is not ancient woodland to host a double-figure AWI species total.[4]
Ancient woods were very valuable properties for their owners, as a source of wood fuel, timber (estovers and loppage) and forage for pigs (pannage). Hazel was grown for coppicing, the branches being used for wattle and daub in buildings, for example. Such old coppice stumps are easily recognised for their current overgrown state, now that the practice has largely disappeared. Originally, the term of 'forest' did not refer solely to woodland; it also included open heathland, upland fells, and any other territory, between or outside of manorial freehold, and was the exclusive hunting preserve of the monarch, or granted to nobility. The ancient woods that were within forests, were frequently Royal Parks, enjoying special protection against poachers and other interlopers, and subject to tolls and fines where trackways passed through them or when firewood was permitted to be collected or other license granted. The forest law was very strictly enforced, by a hierarchy of foresters, parkers and woodwards. In English land law, it was illegal to assart any part of a royal forest. This was the greatest trespass that could be committed in a forest, being more than a waste: for whereas waste of the forest involves felling trees, they can grow again; assarting involves completely rooting up trees within the woodland of the afforested area. Ancient woods were well-defined, often being surrounded by a bank and ditch, so that they could be easily recognised. Such indicators can still be seen in many ancient woodlands. Many ancient woods are described in the Domesday Book, as well as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, such was their value to early communities.
Ancient woodland inventories[edit]
Ancient woodland sites over 2 hectares (5 acres) in size are recorded in Ancient Woodland Inventories, compiled in the 1980s and 1990s by the Nature Conservancy Council in England, Wales,[5] and Scotland;[6] and maintained by its successor organisations in those countries. There was no inventory in Northern Ireland until the Woodland Trust completed one in 2006.[7]
Britain's ancient woodland cover has declined greatly. Since the 1930s almost half of ancient broadleaved woodland in England and Wales has been planted with conifers or cleared for agriculture. Only 3,090 square kilometres (760,000 acres) of ancient semi-natural woodland survive in Britain – less than 20% of the total wooded area. More than eight out of ten ancient woodland sites in England and Wales are less than 200,000 square metres (49 acres) in area, only 501 exceed 1 square kilometre (250 acres) and a mere fourteen are larger than 3 square kilometres (740 acres).[8]
Most ancient woodland in the UK has been managed in some way by humans for hundreds (in some cases possibly thousands) of years. Two traditional techniques are coppicing (harvesting wood by cutting trees back to ground level) and pollarding (harvesting wood at about human head height to prevent new shoots being eaten by grazing species such as deer). Both techniques encourage new growth while allowing the sustainable production of timber and other woodland produce. During the 20th century, use of such traditional management techniques has declined while there has been an increase in large-scale mechanised forestry. These changes in management methods resulted in changes to ancient woodland habitats, and a loss of ancient woodland to forestry.

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Islanders
While the Pittsburgh Penguins dominated the New York Islanders for the better part of five seasons, they haven't been able to keep up of late.
The surging Penguins try to avenge last week's loss to the Islanders as these clubs meet again Tuesday night at Nassau Coliseum.
Pittsburgh (6-3-0) had compiled a 23-4-2 record against New York (4-3-1) before suffering a pair of 5-3 defeats to close last season's series. The Islanders continued their recent success over the Penguins last Tuesday, cruising to a 4-1 victory at Consol Energy Center behind Evgeni Nabokov's 37 saves.
"The Islanders are maybe not (a team) that people focus on but they have talented players and they've been working hard and playing well. ... If we needed to learn that lesson, we definitely could have learned it with last game," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.
"We know what happened last time they played us, and it wasn't a good game - they mopped us up. We'll be going into their building in an Atlantic Division game knowing that it's an important game."
New York hasn't posted four consecutive wins over Pittsburgh since a five-game run spanning the 1985-86 and 1986-87 seasons. Picking up another two points, however, could prove difficult given the Penguins' play on the road.
Bylsma's club has outscored opponents 21-12 in opening 5-1-0 as the visiting team, its best start since winning its first seven road games in 2009-10.
"When a team like that gets going, you better be prepared cause they're gonna come in hard and they've got some talent and skill on their roster," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said.
Pittsburgh is coming off its third consecutive victory overall, 6-3 at Washington on Sunday. Chris Kunitz led the way with his third career hat trick and was later credited for a career-best fourth goal on a scoring change the following day. Sidney Crosby notched a season-best three assists.
"I'm just trying to put the puck on net," Kunitz told the team's official website. "We're worried about the two points and getting our team headed in the right direction. No one cares about that other stuff."
While Tomas Vokoun made 21 saves against the Capitals, Marc-Andre Fleury, who's compiled a 0.96 goals-against average in winning both his road starts, could play Tuesday. The All-Star goaltender has posted a 5.63 GAA while starting the last three games in this series, but he's 17-7-3 against New York since 2005-06.
The Islanders fell 3-0 to New Jersey in the back end of a home-and-home set Sunday. Nabokov stopped 24 of 26 shots but New York, which allowed all three goals with under four minutes left in the game, went 0 for 7 on the power play.
"We were just uncharacteristic on things we were doing," Capuano said. "We had zone time, we had entry, but we got in there and it was - we slowed it down, we didn't make it tough on them, we didn't get shots to the net, we didn't have any net presence like we've had in the past.
"We gotta be better at it. To me, it's about work ethic."
Nabokov is 10-2-0 with a 1.70 GAA and two shutouts against Pittsburgh, allowing two or fewer goals in nine straight matchups.
Despite tallying just one assist during the Penguins' skid in this series, Crosby has 20 goals and 67 points in 37 career games versus New York - his most against any opponent. Pittsburgh is 16-2-0 against the Islanders when Crosby has at least two points.

PORT ROYAL - Port Royal Speedway lost the 2012 Labor Day Classic for 410 sprints and ARDC Midgets Monday afternoon after waiting out persistent rain showers and drizzle for nearly five hours while attempting to prepare the surface.
The race was called at 2:45 pm.
Rainchecks can be used this weekend. The 45th annual Tuscarora 50 for sprint cars is scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m. The event is sanctioned by the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprints.
That show will be preceded by the All Stars Night Before The 50 on Friday, also at 7.
Late models will be on the Friday card, which will decide the 2012 late model track title. Saturday's 50 itself will settle the fight to be 2012 sprint car champion.
The weekend races will cap off the 158th annual Juniata County Fair at the track.

The NDIA PMSC working groups are formed and disbanded as needed to proactively address current issues related to EVM. These working groups include representatives from industry and government to ensure various stakeholder interests are considered. The working groups are an excellent way to get involved with the PMSC activities, find out what other companies are doing related to EVM, and provide an opportunity to contribute to the EVM community - you can make a difference. Our leadership position in industry reflects our membership's commitment and dedication to continually enhance and promote the use of EVM. Most working groups conduct their activities via telecom or web meetings with occasional meetings that usually coincide with the quarterly committee meetings. For more information, contact the Working Group Leads.
Civilian Agency Industry Working Group (CAIWG)
Working Group Co-chairs: Jerald Kerby, NASA, firstname.lastname@example.com and Tracie Thompson, NDIA PMSC Chair, ATK, email@example.com
This joint industry and federal government agency working group provides a forum for the open exchange of government and industry views on performance based management systems including Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS). Information about the working group objectives, points of contact, and documents can be found here: http://caiwg.mycpm.org/
Clearinghouse Working Group Leads: Mellissa Gilbert, Orbital, email@example.com and Pete Wynne, Lockheed Martin, email@example.com This working group provides a forum for industry's EVMS practitioners to raise and discuss EVMS or related issues. The goal is to identify common issues, gather facts and supporting data, formulate industry positions, and develop recommendations for issue resolution. This working group handles the process steps necessary to capture the facts and data and to develop mutually acceptable resolutions along with specific recommendations that can be presented to the PMSC board for further action.Working Group Documents:

Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) Guide UpdateWorking Group Lead: Neil Albert, MCR, email@example.com
This working group is updating the content of the September 2010 edition of the guide.
The charter for this working group is to analyze EVM practices and processes on production contracts to provide a common understanding of terminology, processes, and earned value applications used in a production environment.
The mission of this working group is to broaden the focus and membership of the PMSC to influence acquisition policy and share best practices among program management professionals in areas in addition to earned value management. With Industry and Government participants, this will be accomplished by: 1) update, as appropriate, PMSC charter and objectives to reflect broader focus; 2) recommend the formation of additional PMSC working groups to address a range of topics essential to successful program execution; 3) increase program manager participation in PMSC by broadening meeting topics appropriately; and 4) develop program management guides/white papers as appropriate.
This working group is focusing on developing a systematic approach for planning, assessing, and handling events that have a potential for causing a positive (opportunity) or negative (risk) impact to project objectives. The goal is to develop a best practice guide to identify risks and opportunities early-on and assess the possible impacts/benefits; set priorities; establish handling approaches that can avoid cost overruns, circumvent delays, and minimize/mitigate the inherent problems of crisis management; and discuss how risk and opportunity management can be integrated into the day-to-day program management processes.
Special interest topics are also addressed at the quarterly meetings as various committee members are involved in other activities that are of interest to the EVM community. Current topics include:

Remove HTML content widget
13 January 2009 at 8:31am
What is the easiest way to remove HTML content widget. Seem to be unable to delete it the usual way in Blog widgets. When trying to delete it the widget disappears but the page can't be saved.
Re: Remove HTML content widget
24 January 2009 at 3:25pm
try with deleting the widget codes and run db/build?flush=1
Re: Remove HTML content widget
19 February 2009 at 2:45am
I have the same problem, I don't want to get rid of the widget but just remove it from a particular page. It deletes the HTML content but will not save or publish. I am guessing it is bugged.
Any ideas?

Crazy workaround...
documenting this for myself and others (because I keep forgetting the steps!)
Ok here we go-
First Install the HTML Content Widget - db build flush etc...
Now the widget tab should be inside the blog holder with the html content widget inside.
drag it over to the widget area and type something in it (test)
click on the save and publish and that part should work.
Go back to the front end and do a db/build?flush=1
clear the cache on your browser and then refresh the admin.
Go to another page and do this and then go back to the blog (in the admin)
(You should see the wysiwyg editor now, but filled with html garbage instead of wys)
View html of of the wysiwyg by presssing html in the editors toolbar
ctrl+a select all and delete everything
insert or save it blank
now use the wysiwyg editor to create fabulous content - links - images etc.
Publish content, view in another window or tab.
Don't leave the admin widget section until you have it how you want it.every time you leave the page and come back it will destroy what you did by reverting back to html, so dont publish after you leave and come back...
unless you want to publish html script

To remove the HTMLContentWidget you can simply delete and recreate the page or edit the HTMLContent widget so that it doesn't use the TinyMCE editor.

Student Body: I have not yet taken any classes or met any other students.
Facilities: The campus building is very small and personal. Everything is in one place which is very nice.
Tuition & Financial Aid: I believe the tuition will be worth the education. The financial aid office has been helpful so far in giving specific values and payments due on what dates. Tuition is pretty expensive, so I am applying for as many scholarships as I can because the government will not offer me any financial aid.
Academic Experience: I have not yet started taking classes. I will start on March 31st.
Academic Experience: I have not yet started my academic program or taken any classes. I am still in the registration process.
Overall Experience: I have not yet taken any classes, but my application experience has been wonderful. It has been very personal and they really want to help you and make sure every question you have is answered, usually even before you get the chance to ask.
Online Courses: I have not taken any online classes and do not plan on doing so.
Campus Resources: What unique about my school is that people are always willing to help. They know that we want to sucess and would help in every way that they can. They are ver supportive.
Campus Resources: The school network is very reliable. It's fast and also have many computers when we need to use it.
Career Services: After graduating, MSB college still have us listed on their system, so when we need help they are still there.
Campus Resources: I like night classes because people who attend have the same goals as I do. We want to suceed and work hard. The teachers are very helpful and knowledge.
Online Courses: Online classes is very helpful for students who are busy and willing to learn. This is an opportunity for students as well as residential classes.
Student Body: Everyone here is friendly and full time workers. They are easily to work and learn with since we are here to acheive the same goals.
Academic Flexibility: School Experience – I can not comment, scheduled to start classes in Fall '12. Though the Fincial Aid department and been nothing but wonderful.
Academic Experience: MSB has a good number or programs in which will appeal to an assortment to people who are looking to attend school for various reason. They also have "support" such as tutors and job search to help you along.
Academic Experience: Meeting Above Expectations for Recruting Experience – I was very impressed by how the adminssion counselor was thourough in introducing the school and programs to me along with assuring that MSB was the right school for me and that I would be a fitting student for them. She was very approachable, open and realistic about the process from the very begining. The staff in general was extreamly pleasant to work. It was very refreshing to know that there are genuine ethics from the school and staff.
Campus Resources: The Online Library – I especially am grateful for the online library, there is also a campus library and computers there for you. There is a student lounge that is very relaxed and enjoyable. They always have activities going on which are very fun.
Overall Experience: I Love MSB – I love the small class sizes and one-on-one time. My school has a lot of events that include all students of every age and offer lots of prizes. I love the friendly atmosphere and I feel like everyone really wants you to succeed. The only thing I dislike is the price, it seems incredibly too high but I suppose you get what you pay for.
Campus Resources: Nursing Program – Only available atthe richfield campus,which you didn't have as an option
Student Body: Tight Knit Groups Within Programs – The students at my school all seem to get along well. No one is singled out, everyone seems to get along. Study groups have been set up with a good amount of classmates, which helps all of us. Although there isn't much interaction between students of different programs.
Academic Flexibility: Somewhat Flexible – For the most part, classes offered were flexible. Much more flexibility was noted with generals such as multiple class times and online class availability. One negative was when first applying I was told all of my classes would be available as night classes which I later found was not the case.

We all have our go to attempts at curing that not so great feeling (a hangover). Do any of these sound familiar?
1. Greasy meal before bed
2. Greasy meal once you wake up
3. Aspirin and a glass of water before bed
4. Do nothing all day in recovery mode
5. Start drinking again...
Well, researchers from Sun Yat-Sen University in China did a huge study on the effects of alcohol and its reaction with hebal infusions, teas, and carbonated beverages. They found that only one helps reverse the actual science and symptoms of a hangover.
It's the almighty can of SPRITE.

182 Denison Street, Newtown
I have been in my share of derelict places, and this is by far the most derelict. Which is what makes it so cool.
It's a Victorian terrace in a quiet street of Newtown that has never been renovated, and has not been kept in the best condition.
It is creepy.
The photos explain it better than words can, but walking through the place you identify a few things – the inside has had years and years of indifferent living piled on it, with wallpaper peeling to show more wallpaper and an old kid's rug covering the kitchen floor. It's been bashed about. Then there's what looks to be squatter's writing on the wall of the living area. And there's the odour upstairs, which was mildly scarring.
It's exciting and scary to walk through, and it'll be exciting and scary to renovate. It's got a good location, a facade that will scrub up nicely and some original features worth saving – the fireplace downstairs is bricked up but has a very pretty frame.
It harkens back to old school Newtown grit, which is another plus point. On the other hand, it will soon be a sparkling refashioned respectable home. It's currently on the market, so someone will assuredly pick it up and have fun with it. The day I saw it I was late (no surprise there), but the inspection had been busy and there was an overflow of investors exploring it with me. It's also been listed in SMH's 'Smart Buys' section (billed as a 'haunted house'), so I'm not the only person paying attention. Nor should I be.

Diner Reviews
I have been in a couple times. For
the price, I keep expecting to get blown away. That hasn't happened yet, except for the green tea fried ice cream. For the price of the food, I expect it to be better. The staff, however, are great. They can stay the same :)"

We went to the Typhoon Bistro
prior to the symphony. We came in early but the place filled up quickly around us. Menu is not your typical Asian fusion...excellent to have something new to explore. Food was tasty, hot (when it was supposed to be) and in appropriate portions for a human. We will visit again!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
There was 4 of us and every one of
our meals were great. The presentation was beautiful. And then the desert ...Wow was that good one was a fried banana with ice cream and the other was a fresh fruit and ice cream that the server made a fun presentation with and lite the liquor with a lighter and poured over the fruit. So good! The waiter was a kind and knowledgeable .."

A nice location eating in this
area is pleaseant. The food was great I ordered the Korean BBQ steak which was very tender the portion was a bit light though. M date ordered the crispy duck which also was very good an nice presented. The ambiance was romantic without being to over the top and our waiter was friendly. Unfortunately I didn't get his name we reserved seating for about 845pm on valentines day. I had only wished I go to thank him for such great service. Overall a good experience and definitely a place I would come visit again."

We went as a party of four, before
a concert at First Church. The restaurant selection process was made difficult because we needed vegan options that were more satisfying than side dishes served over pasta.. After receiving the regular menu, we asked for the vegan menu, and although I was the only vegan in the party, we all ordered of of it because it was so great. The food was beautifully presented and had bright, fresh flavors. The service was just right, and the atmosphere made normal conversational voices possible. We will definitely return, and recommend!"

Had a very nice lunch. Had our 1
yr old grandchild with us. They were very accommodating. The baked salmon roll was delicious. I had the ginger bass, that was well spiced and juicy. My guest had the salmon/tuna sushi luncheon version. Good amount of fish. Hot and soup soup flavorful, but not very spicy. Miso soup excellent. Outstanding attentive service."

We were staying in the Copley
Plaza area and were craving Thai or Asian food. We assumed that since this restaurant was downtown in a big city, high rent district, it would be at least decent. The drinks were awful (not sure the bartender was trained, at all) and the food mediocre. Service was just miserable. While it had a great front patio on the street, that was the one and only thing going for it."

The menu was quite varied with an
eclectic variety of Asian cuisine. The service was excellent, and it wasn't noisy. There is an option to sit outside next to the sidewalk as well."
Dined on 8/17/2013
The table we were seated at
initially slants toward the patio, so glasses, menus, etc either slide off or fall over! We declined to sit there because of that, but when the water glasses were filled for the next people who did, they immediately fell off the table and broke! Of course they were then immediately moved to a horizontal table - how is it possible that they continue trying to use this table? Also, the spoons we were given to use for the flambeed fruit dessert - which was quite good - looked like they came from a middle school cafeteria going out of business sale. They must have trouble with people stealing the cutlery!"
Dined on 8/11/2013
We sat outside on a lovely day.
Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the tuna tataki appetizer. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The price range is wide so it could get expensive but there are plenty of reasonably priced choices.. I'm sure we'll go back"

This place is great to stop at

Dined on 6/13/2013
I've been here a few times, and
this time, the food was definitely not as good as before. Service was very attentive and enthusiastic (Chadwin was excellent). However, the food left a lot to be desired. The soft-shell crab and calamari were oversalted and hard to eat and the presentation was hard to bear - it did not look appealing as it was served. We also got two drinks that were polar opposites - the sake-tini was all gin and the mojito was all juice. We got the Black Pearl entree to share. Great presentation but the fish was not so fresh (usually, it is). The butterfish is normally to die for but this time was meh. Tuna and white fish were also second-rate. Torched fish were excellent though. Mixed bag this time around."

The food at Typhoon is creative

Dined on 7/13/2013
Typhoon is a solid place for sushi
(and I imagine for their non-sushi dishes as well, which I did not try). Servers are friendly and responsive, but not overbearing. While it has more than enough Back Bay cache, it is not pretentious. This is a great place to go to with friends or maybe a good place for a low-key date. My date and I had the calamari appetizer, dragon roll, spider roll, and the spicy rainbow roll- all were great!"
Dined on 6/16/2013
My friend and I went here on
Saturday night aroudn 5. I made a reservtatino but I don't think I really needed too. But better safe than sorry. I got tofu fresh rolls to start and he got veggie dumplings. both were delicious. I also got the Typhoon Spicey. I got it with Tofu instead of Chicken. I didn't realize they had a vegan menu until I looked at the site afterwards. The menu they give you doesn't have that option, you probably have to ask. My friend got Sushi. Both were amazing!! Would definitely come again."

Sushi was good, rest of the food
was a grade above a chinese take out. Service slow even though no one was there."
Dined on 6/4/2013
A good convenient and interesting
restaurant to meet friends on a Friday night. Above-average variety of wines by the glass (including great plum wine); tasty coconut soup and huge shrimp tempura were fantastic appetizers. 'La Mer" entree was somewhat of a disappointment: the bright red lobster tail in the middle of the plate was empty, only for decoration. I eventually found one, maybe two, small pieces of lobster meat. The scallops and shrimp were large & fresh. Accompanying grated lettuce salad was without character and should be replaced with some interesting veggie. Flamed fresh fruit with ice cream was delicious - a favorite now. Rock music out of sync with the main dining area was fortunately replaced by more appropriate sounds."
Dined on 5/25/2013
Fortunately we had a groupon to
this place or else I would have been really upset. After paying over $30 for ginger lobster I expected it to be really good. It was actually extremely basic, I could get much better food at the basic Chinese takeout place, which is where I will be going from now on. My fiance's curry lamb chops weren't very flavorful either. We gave it a try because of the groupon, but we won't be going back"
Dined on 5/12/2013
Went on a Monday night, so it was
very quiet. The food was good, as was the service. They put us in the window, so we got a nice view of Boylston. More expensive then I would usually spend (~$25 a plate), but then again, I'm a college student."
Dined on 4/1/2013
Typhoon Bistro is a very nice pan
Asian restaurant. It is pretty with white tablecloths and a small outside area with tables. The best things we had were the sauteed scallops and the flambe dessert. A Japanese style seafood soup was not too flavorful but the ingredients were very fresh. The chopped chicken in lettuce leaves appetizer was so so and the eel unagi was also good but not the best we've had. Overall, though, the service was excellent and we had a good time. The prices also seem a bit high but it is in the heart of the Back Bay so that's what's normal around there. Overall, I would go back."
Dined on 4/27/2013
Went with my daughter since we
were on vacation there. Would love to go with my husband and indulge in cocktails. Nice ambience with a ton of different (colorfully attractive) liquors! Great variety of Asian foods - not just Japanese/sushi. Meal was very enjoyable. Food and service were both great. My only issue was that it seems to be on the small side, so tables feel cramped together. However, this was across from bar... perhaps in the main rooms it is better? Where we were sitting, there was a draft from the front door so it was cold, and we were surrounded by tables with loud talkers so it was difficult for us to hear each other (and not eavesdrop). If I'd gone with my husband, I'd insist on a different table."

Very high quality sushi dish.

Dined on 4/24/2013
Rock solid place for a good
selection of well prepared Asian foods at decent prices. Service is as expected and your water glass is filled within moment of drinking. Outdoor dining is a plus..."
Dined on 3/31/2013
The food wasn't too bad. My date
and I went because of a groupon ($45 for an app, 2 entrees and dessert) and found it to be a good deal. I would not pay full price for a meal here because I feel the quality and quantity were lacking. Yoki has similar prices and food and far better portions and sushi quality. I would recommend Typhoon if you have a groupon, are in the Boylston area and have a sweet tooth for fried ice cream (delicious!)."
