Help - Casual sushi on the West Side
Hi There,
Former LA resident coming back to down for business. Trying to find a casual, but solid sushi spot on the west side. Doesn't need to be out of this world good. Just fresh, tasty sushi in a relaxed atmosphere. Sakura on Centinela was my old standby. Are there others in that vein nearby?
k-zo in culver city.
on washington blvd shares bldg and pkg lot with trader joes.
they take reservations
Hamakaze on Washington on the culver city / venice line, near costco, is supposed to be decent.
I like going to Sushi Karen, which is Culver City on Washington, just west of Overland on the south side of the street. Low key atmosphere with a very nice wait staff (I'm partial to them because they like and welcome my kids). Not world class sushi, but it is always solid, the fish is always fresh, and it always scratches the itch. They always have some nice sashimi specials going.
The only negative I have about the place is that it can smell a little fishy some times, which almost caused me to walk out the first time I went in there, but I'm glad I stayed. I've never had a less than fresh piece of fish there and they actually serve really good uni.
re: GuidoTKP
i respectfully disagree with the sushi karen recommendation.
went there once.
the fish was awful/not fresh and the place itself had a weird smell.
i will not set foot in there again. borderline between bad and disgusting.. .
re: westsidegal
Sorry you had a bad experience there. I eat there a lot and just haven't had anything like that experience (other than the smell issue, which I kind of agree with).
I'm a pretty serious sushi hound. I've done a lot of omakase at Hiko Sushi, Sushi Zo, Mori, Teru Sushi, Katsu-Ya, etc. My favorite sushi hang when I lived in the valley was Omino Sushi. I've eaten at Urasawa. I wouldn't put Sushi Karen on par with any of those places, but I certainly put it in the category of "Quality Good Enough For Me To Frequent Often" for a quick, low-fuss meal with my wife and small kids who are not serious sushi fanatics (although, their cravings for the raw fish are growing).
I do wish they would address the slight funk you can frequently detect when you walk in. It is not confidence building. ;-)
I second Sushi Masu. It is the definition of casual and cool. Masu is unpretentious and the focus is on the fish - fresh and delicious rather than on rolls. Give it a try (it's not too expensive either for the quality)! Plus, Masu himself is hilarious, so be sure to sit at the bar.
Sushi Masu
1911 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025
re: bucktown
We loved Sushi Masu -- but be prepared to spend.
It is "casual, solid, on the West side, fresh, tasty and relaxed" as the original poster, rskubic, has requested, but it is not inexpensive. You will, however, find the experience to be really good!
re: wilafur
wilafur, I believe that is about what we spent -- with perhaps one sake or beer (I don't recall).
For the quality of sushi and the overall experience, we did not consider Masu to be way overpriced. However, I would not place it in a list of inexpensive sushi bars.
re: westsidegal
Sorry, westsidegal, I'm not sure what you are asking.
Also, what is it about Sushi Masu that you don't like?
We were there only once. It is not the prettiest bar; I do prefer a more modern, better lit open space, but the sushi was very good-to-really good! It was a Saturday night, the bar was full and the chef was excited to serve us some very fine fish.
re: liu
i was primarily responding to liu; i was trying to say that i didn't feel that the prices at masu were at all high, i thought that they were very reasonable.
my feeling about masu was that the quality of the fish and the pricing associated with it wasn't good enough to motivate me to drive there from playa del rey. i don't dislike the place, if they were located near me, i'd probably be there regularly.
fwiw, to me, the fish and deal offered at hide is definitely worth the drive
and the fish and deal offered at k-zo is definitely worth the drive, although it should be mentioned that k-zo is more expensive than hide and a bit more expensive than masu.
re: westsidegal
Thanks, westsidegal, for all your clarifications!
I did not think the prices at Masu were high for the quality of fish that was served us. However, I must add here that I originally (maybe a year ago) saw Masu written up in a post seeking inexpensive sushi. When we went there, we were half-expecting (although we have learned from experience not even to half-expect when the subject is sushi!) that the pricing at Masu was on the order of Noshi or the Hide on Sawtelle of years ago. Thus is my comment about not placing it on a list with other inexpensive sushi restaurants -- of which there are many, some better than others.
I completely understand your comments about having to factor in the driving distance when considering your target restaurant. Yes, Zo is worth the drive. We used to enjoy Hide many years ago as a destination sushi bar; recently we have found it to be inconsistent. When Hide is good, it is still very good; yet, Hide is not as inexpensive as it used to be. I don't mind paying when it is good, but I sometimes leave Hide feeling as though I should have gone elsewhere for the dollar.
re: Servorg
Whoops...thanks, Servorg, for pointing this out.
re: bucktown
3rd the rec for Sushi Masu. Laid back, awesome service and excellent fish at a reasonable price.
Kiriko has incredible food, but the service is so poor (based on multiple meals) I can't recommend it.
re: vinosnob
Yeah, what is with the service at Kiriko? It's like they employ a team of autistics.
re: a_and_w
Strange, I've never had service issues at Kiriko. And I've gone there like 10+ times!
Kiriko on Sawtelle might fit the bill. I was a little put off by the awkward service and high price. But it's super casual and the quality of the fish is clear.
Not sure how far east your definition of westside extends and at risk of getting into a tiresome debate, if you go by the west of La Cienega rule, may I suggest Ajisai which is at 809 Palm--just north of Santa Monica Blvd between San Vicente and la Cienega. It is a lovely, tiny place with excellent fresh fish and perfect suchi rice.
we've eaten sushi at the finest joints in japan and stateside. we were pleasantly surprised by how good SUGARFISH by Nozawa was in brentwood. $35 omakase. it was a deal and the fish was great.
re: revets2
that surprises me because their marina del rey deal was awful.
unless you like your tuna to be shot through with white, dental-floss-like connective tissue that gets in between your teeth and, in addition, have them use a fire hose to douse this dental-floss-tuna with ponzu sauce, and unless you like to be forced to order a package of items that is filled with filler stuff in which you probably have no interest, you may want to rethink sugarfish.
in the package deal that i had, only one item was actually good.
re: revets2
For something casual, I agree that Sugarfish isn't a bad value. Like westsidegal mentions, the tuna appetizer can be heavy on the ponzu, but overall I thought it was decent quality fish at a fair price. I've been to both the MDR and Brentwood locations. I've been to Urasawa, I'm a regular at Zo, and I've been to Kiriko (which wasn't bad either) - but when I don't feel like dropping $100+ on sushi, lately I often end up here. They have a somewhat regimented ordering system (basically three pre-set choices), but you can also add things a la carte (at least in Brentwood).
re: pointone
fwiw, i believe that the price/quality ratios are far superior at hide in west LA and at k-zo in culver city.
re: westsidegal
so i assume you make your judgment based upon the MDR location and that you have NOT been to the SUGARFISH in brentwood. i have not been to the MDR location in two years, but was at the brentwood location last week. not heavy on the ponzu, no blood lines or connective tissue. don't knock it til you try it!
re: revets2
it's a chain.
both locations are owned and run by the same people.
as far as i know the fish is procured for both locations by the exact same person.
not unreasonable to think that the standards in place in mdr would be essentially similar to the standards at brentwood.
the 'trust me package deal' that they served me contained 5 or 6 items, only one of which was actually good (as opposed to fair or poor).
don't care to risk throwing out any more money on restaurants run by these folks.
on top of that, i would have to drive past hide on the way to brentwood.
i go to hide regularly.
the fish i've been served at hide has been FAR superior to any of the fish that showed up in front of me at sugarfish.
my addiction to eating out is costly enough, would rather spend my money on restaurants that have a higher probability of getting it right.
re: westsidegal
nozawa-san procures the fish from the same sources (largely IMP if not flown from japan) for both SUSHI NOZAWA and SUGARFISH. is your opinion based upon a single visit?
it's entirely reasonable to want to spend money on the devil you know, but perhaps it's not entirely fair or reasonable to extend such a public judgment if you have not returned to see if it was an anomaly at one location and you have never been to the other. also, the assumption that if one location is poor, so are all the others; that's just not true. there are several restaurants with more than one location where the food can vary widely in quality and execution from location to location (think CRAFT). don't think we'd even be replying to your post except that, given our quality sushi experience at SUGARFISH brentwood and the fact you've never been there feels unfair and unjust to the restaurateur, their employees, and any reader that may not go because of your above post.
we're not huge SUSHI NOZAWA fans. went three times - not really our thing. we're at SUSHI ZO twice a month, URASAWA four times a year, and have been to SUKIYABASHI JIRO (both Ginza & Roppongi) and SUSHI MIZUTANI as well as other very good well known and less well known sushi restaurants in japan. we have no problem with HIDE.
the OP asked for casual, solid, fresh, tasty sushi in a relaxed atmosphere on the westside. this is not a SUGARFISH vs. HIDE contest. both meet the OP's criteria. hope the above post has not deterred you from going to either.
re: revets2
it is reasonable to me to tell my fellow hounds about my restaurant experiences on this board-- that is the whole point of the board.
your agreement with my assessment of the restaurant , doesn't affect the legitimacy of my post.
when an experience is SO poor that there will not be a repeat visit, such as the sugarfish experience, it is especially important to warn others.
re: revets2
then maybe they are serving the leftover scraps from nozawa at the marina sugarfish. that would explain the very low quality.
Kiyokawa on Robertson south of Wilshire is quite good. Not super cheap, but not very expensive either. Omakase sets you back about 55 bucks. I've been going there lately.
Speaking of Masu, I went there for about 1 year twice a month, The last time I went was 3 weeks ago, and noticed a "B" rating. I'm not going to judge that rating as it could be for anything. But sitting right in front of him, where I always do, I noticed some very "tired" looking uni, as well as a few other fish. I'll still go, as I really enjoy his service and general disposition, but I think his quality has dropped slightly.
By the way, I asked for Uni and he opened a fresh box for me.
stumbled upon Sushi King on Wilshire, near 14st friday night. Very solid. Very casual. Very Good.
For good sushi at reasonable prices on the west side I really like the relatively new BiMi and the old standby Nagao in brentwood.

re: Michelly
kabuki is atrocious.
re: wilafur
imho, kabuki is superior to sugarfish and sushi karen.
re: alliebear
Are you talking about the one on Centinela over by Gilmore in Mar Vista/Marina del Rey? If so it's still there and as busy as ever. Just dinner on the weekends.
re: Servorg
Oh, OK. Thanks. I was talking about that one.
The OP mentioned it was his/her old standby, so I was just wondering if it was no longer acceptable or if it had closed.
Thing about the California Roll Factory on Santa Monica near Barrington is people either love it or hate it. One could argue it's not a sushi restaurant at all - certainly no purist would be caught dead there - but I happen to like to big roll creations loaded with spicy tuna or scallop filling, with maybe some tempura shrimp or fish and dripping with eel sauce or garlic sauce and fish eggs. I have out-of-town friends who insist on this place being their first stop when they come to visit. And if 'casual' and 'relaxed' are your criteria - why not check it out.
looks like you have more replies than you could ever deal with. in addition to the usual favorites on this board (Zo, Urasawa,K-Zo,Mori) permit me to add a less known, neighborhood place, which this request seems to speak directly to:
Ninjin- 607 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica. Reliable, good, pleasant, neighborhhod. I've had some better sushi there than some I have had at more "prestigious" sushi bars, and in downtown santa monica, with street parking.

AUSTIN, Texas – A federal judge Friday threw out new Texas abortion restrictions that would have effectively closed more than a dozen clinics in the state.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel sided with clinics that sued over one of the most disputed measures of a sweeping anti-abortion bill signed by Republican Gov. Rick Perry in 2013. The ruling stops new restrictions that would have left seven abortion facilities in Texas come Monday. There are currently 19 abortion providers in the state, according to groups challenging the law.
The overall effect of the provisions is to create an impermissible obstacle as applied to all women seeking a previability abortion, Yeakel wrote in his 21-page ruling.
The trial in Texas was the latest battle over tough new abortion restrictions sweeping across the U.S. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican who is the favorite to become governor next year, vowed to appeal to try to uphold the law.
The law would require abortion facilities in Texas to meet hospital-level operating standards, which supporters say will protect women's health.
Clinics called it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions, which has been a constitutional right since the Roe v. Wade ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973.
It's an undue burden for women in Texas – and thankfully today the court agreed, said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Woman's Health, which would have been among the clinic operators affected. The evidence has been stacking up against the state and against the politicians who so cynically passed these laws in the name of safety.
The more stringent Texas requirements would have effectively shuttered 18 licensed abortion clinics. Some already no longer offer abortions after another part of the 2013 bill required doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

by Katsiaficas, George
Publisher:Prometheus Books
George Katsiaficas provides a unique portrayal of direct-action European social movements in Italy, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, and Denmark from 1968 to 1996. Paying special attention to the role of autonomous feminist movements, he traces the effect of squatters and feminists on the disarmament movement and on efforts to shut down nuclear power, and also discusses antifascist social movements developed in response to the neo-Nazi upsurge.
In addition to providing a rare depiction of these often overlooked movements, Professor Katsiaficas develops a specific notion of autonomy from the statements and aspirations of these movements. Autonomy is seen as a type of freedom transcending neo-Kantian individualism and postmodern consumerism--as the political form appropriate to contemporary societies. Drawing from the practical actions of social movements, his analysis is extended into a universal standpoint of the species, a perspective he develops by uncovering the partiality of Antonio Negri's workerism, Seyla Benhabib's feminism, and notions of uniqueness of the German nation.
A sequel to Professor Katsiaficas's THE IMAGINATION OF THE NEW LEFT: A GLOBAL ANALYSIS OF 1968 (South End Press, 1986), this book updates and expands his understanding of antisystemic social movements in the advanced capitalist societies.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 493 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by MAG59 Better choices in the area I recently stayed at the Phoenician for a conference. The organizer had touted it highly, perhaps accounting for my disappointment. My room, looking out over a large field of contoured cement, was comfortable, but the feel of the place was that of a large, nondescript hotel. To my tastes it utterly lacked interest, charm or beauty -- very different from our last area venue at the Royal Palms. Catered food and dinner in the steakhouse were both adequate, but certainly not "destination" quality. The golf course and other facilities may well be attractive, but they weren't part of my visit. July 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bruinforlife Nice Hotel but service didn't meet expectations Great resort property but disappointed in the service. As a Platinum member they treated me well upon arrival. Having just gotten off my 3rd flight in 3 days, I was dehydrated and asked at checkin if they had water. They explained free bottles were in the room for me and there was also turn-down service where it would be provided. I went to the room and no water, but they did have it in the mini-bar. There was also no turn-down service. Having to pay the resort fee (not sure if it included water) and not getting the service that was promised after being cranky from a long flight was disappointing. Of course I was charged $5+ for the water I took from the minibar. March 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by William66 Concierges are great but Beware the pool and valet The concierge desk was what made the trip great. Michele and her team were great at suggesting places to eat on and off site and the suggestions of daily excursions were spot on. The staff was very professional and helpful. The 2 areas to be concerned with are the pool where it was very difficult to find lounge chairs for our family of 4 by the pool. It was extremely crowded but the one bright spot was Rich with his service and knowledge of local restaurants. The only other area of concern was the valet fee which was not clearly identified and a surprise at checkout. Overall I would recommend the property and location. March 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mjttulsa Amazing hotel My recent overnight stay at the Phoenician was extraordinary from start to finish (reservations to check in and room service to check out.). The staff are the benchmark for exemplary customer service. The grounds are beautiful, and my guest suite was wonderful; was hands down the best sleep/rest I've had in years. And my sister and her two daughters were all as equally impressed with the Phoenician's understated elegance and customer-oriented staff; they especially liked the minestrone soup and chocolate mousse cake that room service so beautifully set up in our suite. Thank you, Phoenician Team, for a great experience and wonderful memories my nieces will treasure. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pinkbootpootle First but definitely not last time at the Phoenician We were recommended to stay at the Phoenician by my parents who have stayed previously. In one word the hotel was amazing. I've stayed in many 5 star hotels around the world and this was up there with the best of them. The hotel building is not the most modern but they work hard to keep everything as updated as they can. The grounds are beautiful and extremely well maintained. There was not a blade of grass out of place. Each person we interacted with provided an extremely high level of service and every request we made was handled brilliantly and extremely quickly - great service at Relish! I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Scottsdale. March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TamaraC77 Fantastic stay and can't wait to come back!!! My daughter and I were here for almost a week for a business/pleasure trip! I used my Starwood points and I am so glad I did! They automatically upgraded us to a Casita room. We were able to park right in front whereas if you stayed up top in the hotel you needed either Valet or you could self park and walk to your room. We felt like Princesses!!! The service was impeccable and we couldn't of wanted for anything! The Spa was fantastic and we put it to good use! The service was amazing and it was so relaxing! The pool area was very fun! The service there was great! The best part though, was the food at this hotel. It was pricey, but they made it so convenient with 24 hour room service!! Plus there were many restaurants to choose from! I can't wait to bring my husband here! I am sure it is a trip my daughter will not soon forget! Thank you so much for all your hospitality! It was appreciated!!! August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by girls03 Only one quibble When we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to participate in a "green" program. I always choose this responsible option, which at most properties means no daily sheet changes and fresh towels on request. I was surprised to realize that at this particular very high end hotel that meant rooms were not cleaned or replenished in any way unless upon request ie no fresh towels, no toiletries, no trash emptying, no coffee replenishment etc. To be fair, I probably did not understand the implications of what the person at check-in was saying about this choice, but it seemed very out-of-character for a luxury property. And oddly ineffectual, given the quantity of linens used at pool, spa etc. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jdoubleyou more then we expected This was our first time at this resort and we wowed soon as we drove up the property. Underground parking great as it was super hot outside. Friendly check in staff. Ok, we got an upgrade from a room so what we got was great. Close to the Spa and the "Relish" golf club restaurant. Happy Hour is great value and drinks and food outstanding. Have the guacamole with your chips and the roasted tomato salsa. Pools are great. Il Terrazzo Restaurant nice setting tasty food. Like the Adult only pools. Lots for family too. We will come back to this hotel. Highly recommend. We are from Calgary, Alberta. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JLLSMS Phoenician Exceeds Expectations We enjoyed an excellent stay at the Phoenician on a visit to see my new grandson. Everyone was very friendly with no hint of the stuffiness you sometimes encounter at a luxury hotel. The pools were inviting, the breakfast in the outdoor patio setting was excellent and we really enjoyed our opportunity to play tennis on the grass court. We were surprised upon returning from our evening visit with our grandson, to find a teddy bear and chocolate gift welcoming us to the hotel and wishing us a great visit with our family. We will plan another stay at the Phoenician on our next visit. June 26, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Itravel luxury, comfort, beauty It was my b'day and when I arrived everyone from the person at the gate to the valet, porter and front desk person wished me a happy b'day. My room was ready early and overlooked the pools and open lawn with beauttiful statue. The bed was SO comfortable and all the amenities high quality. Champange and chocolates arrived, what a surprise. After a long hike around the property I enjoyed the COOL pool in the heat and a wonderful cold beer and pita chicken wrap at the pool. Took the art tour, explored the great shops, checked out the spa (awesome) and just enjoyed the gorgeous property. June 12, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 Best for Families with kids age 6 and up A great place for families with children age 6 and up as there's not much to do with the younger ones. Yes, there is a kids club with a wonderful staff however, the room is completely enclosed, (no windows) and the only outside "excursion" is about ten minutes long. (feeding the fish) the concierge Gary is fantastic! He truly knows best excursions that cater to families. I highly suggest the Phoenician as well as all resorts state the Arizona law regarding Car sets!! First time visitors could end up stranded at the airport as we almost did! No car seat = don't plan on leaving the grounds! March 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by UCBerkGrad Great property Our second visit to the Phoenician and it was just as great as the first time. The property is very nice and well maintained. We received a corner room facing the golf course and mountain. The room was a nice size and had a very large balcony. The pools are very nice and there seemed to be ample lounge chairs for all the guests. Overall, a very nice and relaxing stay. If I am going to nit pick, my only criticism is that we left a note for housekeeping to leave extra coffee and cream (but they didn't). That was the only "problem" we had. Overall the staff was very friendly and accommodating. April 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Augustbaby Memorable luxury stay My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room and bathroom was beautiful. It overlooked the pool and distant mountains. The bed sheets were the best I've ever slept in. We had a wonderful couples massage. Relaxed and ate a romantic special meal at the JR Steak House. The view from the restaurant was fantastic. We had red wine and a bone-in Wagyu steak for two. Hmmm, tender and flavorful. The next day we had a late lunch by the bar. Best chicken wings. We had an amazing server/bartender, Bernadine. She was friendly and very informative. We will always come back to the Phoenician. December 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EllieMae3 Luxury resort in a beautiful setting Wonderful weekend with my daughter at the Phoenician. The staff was attentive, the grounds were gorgeous, and the pool was refreshing. We will certainly stay at the Phoenician again. The only hitch was that some rooms across the hall from us were under construction. Work men were going in and out, making noise in the hallway. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by minorhiccups Very nice setting The hotel was amazing! The only issue I had was when the turn down service came late in the evening, my room door was left unlocked and slightly ajar. Nothing was taken but I was surprised that my room was accessible to others. I think the locking mechanism was stiff and you have to use some force to close it rather than just letting it close on its own. I also just noticed there was on extra charge on my credit card. I am currently in the process of having the charges removed. Overall it was still a great stay. All these hiccups just happened at the end of my trip. June 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AZtravelers10 Great location, a lot to offer but first they don't recognize Gold and Platinum status. Their checkin and checkout process is a nightmare. People cutting in line, cutting you off, no sense of direction when it comes to registration. They have a wrap around counter with no designating line so people join the line wherever they feel like it. We brought it to the Manager's attention and his response was, "everyone is treated like a VIP here-there is no preferred access line here." Which all I can say is WOW! What a response. Another irritation is that I asked for a couple of firm pillows and they were never delivered. I asked twice. One last compliant is the pool waiters were few and far between and not enough clean up. Overall, it was a nice resort and lots of activities for the kids. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by lojo1 Good hotel...not great This hotel was nice...not amazing like I had expected. Plus finding the giant bug under our bed was really disturbing. Pool area was very nice though and Relish was a wonderful restaurant. Staff was very nice. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pittgrl524 Great place to relax. From the room to the poolside service to the live music in the evening, this was a great getaway. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cito The Phoenician in Phoenix, AZ The rooms are very nicely appointed. Alll the amenties are very good. Our room was very clean and well organized. The WIFI worked great and the desk was perfect for computer work. The swimming pools were great, I especially liked the waterfall. The gym is one of the best I have seen. August 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by tiwifins Easter weekend at the Phoenician DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. Our family have been using Starwood hotels for many years on a frequent basis. We have stayed at the Phoenician before. Over Easter weekend 2014 we decided to make a long weekend at the resort. Bad idea. The hotel pool area was such a disaster that you could not use the facilities. The hotel openly allows locals from the Phoenix area into the pool area. There is no way to police this and of course contributes to overcrowding. Utterly disgraceful behavior for the 5 Star resort The 'Adult pool' was non existent. We had to leave the Phoenician to go to another hotel. The whole place needs a major facelift. This was supposed to have happened in 2013. The resort looks tired and dated. April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KarenP Awesome Pools We had an issue checking in. We had reserved a King bed One Bedroom Luxury Suite. The lady at the front desk assured us it was a King bed luxury suite. When we got to the room it had 2 double beds. We returned to the front desk and they said they will get us another room but it will take awhile. I guess the only one available had a late check-out and we were unable to get into our room till 5:30pm. We missed out going on the waterslide because of the late check-in, which we were really looking forward to. Upon checking out the front desk manager approached us and apologized and told us she would look into it and compensate us for our inconvenience we had to go through. She was very nice. Overall we loved the resort. The pools were awesome. We did get on the waterslide the next morning and had a blast. Best time to go to this resort is the summer time since it is low season and not crowded. August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TSW123 Great grounds, rooms could use updating Grounds are very well maintained, but rooms (other than bathroom) could certainly use updating. The carpet was in very rough shape, and It rained for a few days and our carpet by the balcony was wet (door was closed). We were also told the meditation center was closed for construction when it just had a leak from the rain. Fortunately we noticed this and called a second day and managed to use it. There was also a resort fee that we were unaware of, and some construction going on as well (we were stuck in our room b/c of the weather so that was unpleasant). Service was very good. November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CathyLS Awesome! I brought my mom there to celebrate her 72 birthday and from the moment we drove to the security guard, he wished her a happy birthday, the bellmen wished her a happy birthday, the front desk staff gave us a room upgrade and wished her a happy birthday, y'all sent her a bottle of champagne to the room with birthday wishes, and the J&G greeted her with a birthday card when she arrived! She felt like a princess and just gushed, so I can't thank you enough for making her 72 birthday so very special! We will be back and will refer all of our friends to you! Thank you! February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by STARFLEET Phoenicianal! Once again, we can't say enough about how phenomenal our anniversary stay at the Phoenician was! Virtually every member of the highly-professional and friendly staff wished us a wonderful anniversary, and the hotel offered numerous delightful surprises during our visit...all adding up to our best stay at one of our favorite resorts! All this, needless to say, is on top of the sheer beauty of the hotel...the Phoenician is the real deal! We can't wait to come back! PS: their restaurant, Il Terrazzo, is truly not to be missed. We enjoyed both breakfasts and dinners!8 September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by W666 great stay excellent hotel experience. would highly recommend August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vetdoc123 Awesome staff! Oasis pool was very nice and enjoyable. Kim one of the pool waitress's/attendants was always in the best of moods and put smiles on our faces. It was a delight to meet her. Our kids kept asking for Kim. The only downside to or stay is that our stay was to short! August 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Scottaz76 Bait and Switch I booked a one night stay so my wife and I could get a night alone away from our two children. When I checked in I was told our room was upgraded, but that all they had were double beds. Apparently they had no other room available although my reservaction explicitly said 1 King Bed. While the front desk person was friendly and offered a $50 F&B credit, it did not change the fact that I had to sleep in a small double bed with my wife. We were extremely dissapointed and will never stay at the Phoenician again and certainly not recommend it to anyone we know. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Missy00 Great stay! Hotel is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! I needed a scissors because I was working on a project. I called the front desk to see if I could borrow one and not only did they let me borrow one, but they brought a brand new one to my room. Great customer service! Also loved the pool and it's a great location! Food was good (ordered poolside) but it was expensive- I ordered hummus with pita bread and veggies and it was almost $25. July 24, 2014

Valley County Health System has been providing compassionate and convenient healthcare to Central Nebraskans for more than 50 years.
In the early 1960s, residents of Valley County voted to establish Valley County Hospital, replacing a facility located on South 16th Street in Ord that was considered in poor repair by the Nebraska State Health Department. The Valley County Hospital was dedicated on August 2, 1964. Patients were transferred from the old facility on September 24, 1964.
The hospital facility opened with 31 acute care beds, two labor beds, two recovery beds, three intensive care beds and 20 long-term care beds. In 1975, a new addition to Valley County Hospital added 45 long term care beds. In 1991, another addition added space for the Long Term Care, Rehabilitation Services, Business and Central Supply Departments.
In 2001, Valley County Hospital became a Critical Access Hospital. This program was adopted by Nebraska in 1997. It allows for a different method of Medicare payment to small rural hospitals. In addition, it provides Valley County Hospital more flexibility so we may operate more efficiently and better meet the needs of our patients.
In 2005, Valley County Hospital changed its name to Valley County Health System—a name more reflective of the wide variety of services provided throughout the facility. Today, the Health System employs more than 275 full-time and part-time employees.
In 2008, Valley County voters approved a $21.265 million bond issue to build a new hospital facility. The new 68,000 square foot hospital opened on October 3, 2010. The new facility features 16 acute care beds, two operating rooms, 12 medical clinic exam rooms, 6 specialty clinic exam rooms, an aqua therapy pool in the Rehabilitation Department , state-of-the-art imaging department and chapel.

How David Krejci's new deal influences Derek Stepan
Within the next twelve months, Glen Sather has some pretty significant decisions to make. Not least is deciding what Derek Stepan is worth to the organisation and the value that his worth brings. Over the past couple weeks Boston Bruins center David Krejci signed a long term deal to remain in Boston and did so for a whole heap of cash. For a club with cap issues, the Bruins gave a huge commitment, earlier than necessary, to their top center.
Krejci's deal impacts Stepan's future with the Rangers – he's a solid comparable – and Stepan's agent will surely point to the Bruin in upcoming negotiations. You can argue that Krejci is ahead of Stepan at this stage of his career and you would be right, but there are similarities. Both players are similar in size (around the 6ft mark, around 190-195lbs) and are both playmaking centers that are pass first pivots. Both players have moved up their respective organisations quickly to become the top dog at the center position.
Statistically there is not a huge difference either. Krejci can be counted on for 60-65 points per season at 28 years old, while the younger Stepan is a guarantee for 55+ per year if you factor in his almost point/game pace in the lockout impacted year. This is without considering the merits of the strength of each roster and the two centers' line mates: Krejci has enjoyed success with a stronger roster around him.

December 6, 2012
Piedmont Virginia Community College is planning to build a new student center to deal with a drastic rise in enrollment.
The number of students at PVCC has increased by about 2,000 in the past six years. The president of PVCC, Frank Friedman says the spike in enrollment is fueled by the recession. More and more students are choosing to save money by completing their first two years of higher education at community college.
The new student center at PVCC will give students the space they need for all the tasks they do outside the classroom.
"We're very fortunate that we opened up the Kluge Moses Science Building a few years ago," said Friedman. "Now it's time to catch up in terms of the support service space that we really lack."
The school is asking the state for funding for the new building. But Friedman says they are also exploring other ways to pay for the student center, if money from the state is delayed or unavailable.
PVCC also started moving into its new Jefferson School Center downtown on Thursday. Classes there begin next semester.

Reports surface in the Latin American media with alarming regularity about seizures by law-enforcement agencies of large shipments of US-made weapons. Such events are becoming noticeably more frequent in Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Argentina - countries that the Obama administration considers unfriendly. But most often, news of the discovery of arms caches comes from Venezuela...

Many in Official Washington still consider Latin America their "backyard," a place where U.S. interests rule and where leftist and reformist governments have historically faced "regime change" tactics. But the region has finally broken from U.S. control and isn't ready to go back, reports Andrés Cala.
The Central Intelligence Agency and its George Soros-funded «democracy manipulators» in Brazil suffered a major defeat with the re-election as president of Brazil of Workers' Party standard bearer and ex-Marxist guerrilla Dilma Rouseff... With Rousseff now re-elected, the BRICS will continue to develop the New Development Bank (NDB) and its $100 billion currency reserve arrangement (CRA), or currency basket, that member countries can loans draw from, thus weaning themselves away from the Western political controls of the World Bank and IMF. Rousseff's re-election will also permit BRICS, which faced losing Brazil as a member had Rousseff lost the election, to expand its membership base...

After the corporate media and the CIA and George Soros manipulators tried to engineer Green Party-turned-Brazilian Socialist presidential candidate Marina Silva into the Brazilian presidency after the classic CIA textbook aerial assassination of Socialist Party presidential standard bearer Eduardo Campos, these same forces are at it again on behalf of Social Democratic Party candidate Aecio Neves... Neves's chief economic adviser and the man who would become Finance Minister in a Neves presidency is Arminio Fraga Neto. A former close friend and associate of Soros and his Quantum hedge fund, Fraga is hoping that a Neves presidency will open up Brazil to "market forces," the very same forces that have declared economic war on Venezuela and are attempting to swindle Argentina through vulture funds run by Soros's Wall Street friends...

Over two thousand Brazilian political activists, intellectuals, people of art and culture signed a manifest on October 26 highlighting the hostile actions of Washington aimed at prevention of Dilma Rousseff election victory. The document is posted to social nets. It says the coming to power of Aécio Neves of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira - PSDB), who serves the interests of tycoons, will inflict irreparable damage to the country and take away all the snags on the way of US direct interference into the Brazilian internal affairs. Neves is to play the role of obedient tool in the hands of US administration.

The pre-election campaign in Brazil has become even more sharply contested after the first round of vote on October 5.

Dilma Rousseff, the left-wing Workers Party candidate (41,1 %) will face off Aécio Neves, the candidate from the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (33,7 %), in the run-off election on October 26.

Serious experts are now in little doubt that the US administration was the 'midwife' of the Islamic State (IS). Renowned Israeli analyst and former head of the ultra-secretive intelligence agency Nativ, Jacob Kedmi, says that the US is now trying to use the tactic of setting moderate Islam against radical Islam, which was «successfully employed in Russia». It is not turning out well for the US, however, considering that for the last three years the Americans have acted as allies of the IS in Syria, and before that were allies of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan... The war currently being carried out against the IS by the US Air Force is recognised to be for show and is more reminiscent of an arrangement of red flags, beyond which it is inadvisable to go...

If you compare this to the debt of $258.6 billion in 1945 after fighting WWII — the highest cost war of all time — this is a shocking indictment of Obama and the Democrat Congress. Read More»

Wow! What a busy holiday weekend its been! I started Friday with a evening out on the town and yesterday I hosted pool party for some close friends. I called my cameraman because I wore this incredibly sexy outfit as I ran some errands and prepared for the festivities. I started out with a hot pair of patriotic 'flag' stilettos, a sexy pair of short shorts and a blue lace see through top. I ran out to do some cigarette crushing while shopping for groceries and got some very hot views of my ass and legs as I went in and out of the stores, showing off my red, white and blue platforms. While at the counter I harmlessly flirted with 2 guys in line behind me. The right place at the right time, ya think? When I turned to talk to them, neither couldn't take their eyes off my breasts, noticing my hard nipples poking through the lace. AND I happened to notice the BULGES in their pants. What a tease I am, LOL! Such fun! Well, after getting home I had to get things ready on the pool deck where I did more crushing and gave the camera more sexy views of my shoes, legs and ass. There's even some crossed leg and shoe dangling views when I final got a chance to sit down to relax.
I've still got 2 more days left of this Labor Day weekend and plans for more crushing and teasing so...... Enjoy! Ciao!

This clip is the result of a special request from a fan. I found it interesting and fun to display my heels, legs and ass this way. The video is done from the floor as if the viewer is a "speck of dirt" looking up at a "dominant giantess". I was asked to wear my blue jean Daisy Dukes (they're getting a lot of work lately, LOL) and my sexy purple 8 inch platforms while walking back and forth. I was in a hotel room waiting for some friends from out of town so it was the perfect time and place for the shoot. There are some great close ups of my heels and while I'm walking around, more long sexy views of my legs and ass in my hot short shorts. There's even a few teasing shots of my big breasts under my reveling purple halter top. I'm putting on some make up, checking my look in the mirror (pulling my shorts up my ass in slow motion), making myself a drink and generally just waiting for my friends to arrive, all the while strutting back and forth next to the camera. Then finally I end as I casually step on the insignificant "speck of dirt" (camera) and crush it.
This is a new area for me as far as clips go so let me know if you like it. Enjoy! CIAO!

This is another sexy 'giantess' request from new fan. It's laundry day and I've just washed some of my sexy naughty delicates and they're ready to be hung up on the line to dry. I walk out to the yard, not noticing the little pest watching me in the grass. As usual, I'm dressed very sultry, even when doing housework, in white daisy duke short shorts, a tight see through top and white 6 inch stilettos. I drop the basket right next to it and begin hanging my pretty bras and thongs in the bright sunshine. I tower over the speck like a dominating giantess, my heels just miss stepping on it as I work. I bend down and squat right over the little vermon several times (in slow motion), still not taking notice of it's presence gazing up my long strong legs and sexy round ass. Finally I see the tiny insignificant speck and crush it into the ground with the unforgiving sole of my shoes, laughing as I walk away. Enjoy! CIAO!

Today was a great day to wear my super sexy low cut short purple dress. I wore my matching 8" stilettos and headed to my favorite park after work to relax, take in the beautiful scenery and crush a few cigarettes. The tight dress has a tendency to ride up my ass but as long as the groundskeepers didn't mind... neither did I. LOL! They're beginning to enjoy my visits to the park and I find them following me at a distance when they think I don't see them. Of course I was playful as I walked the path, slowly and deliberately bending over to smell the flowers, letting them get a peek up my dress. I sat at a few benches, crossed my legs sensually as I smoked and crushed my cigarettes. Even dangled my heels a few times knowing they were enjoying the view. But I wasn't sure if they were looking at my legs or trying to see if my breasts were going to fall out, LOL!
There's lots of close up crushes, teasing upskirts and sexy walking throughout this long clip. There's also a slow motion part where I attempt to walk the tops of some benches in my ultra tall heels. But you have to buy it to see it I make it. *wink* Enjoy everyone... CIAO!

Mesa Mega Driver Patches Published
Published on 30 September 2013 09:09 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
37 Comments
Eric Anholt of Intel has published his initial patches for implementing the "mega drivers" concept within Mesa.
Eric proposed
Mesa Drivers For Mesa
at the beginning of August as a way to (slightly) boost performance by bundling all of the Mesa/Gallium3D drivers into a single .so shared library so that link-time optimizations could be applied to them as a whole by the compiler. Additionally, this method can save disk space and has some other benefits too.
Last week Eric Anholt provided
an update on Mesa Mega Drivers
during the
XDC2013 conference
. This afternoon, Eric released his initial patch-set for implementing this new driver concept model.
Eric posted his initial mega driver patch series to the
Mesa mailing list
and is noting about a 2.61% performance increase but with a 1.16% margin of error. This initial patch series also doesn't yet provide mega driver support to the Gallium3D hardware drivers but just namely core Mesa and the Intel classic driver. This initial work is spread across 14 patches.

Doubtless inspired by the UK's huge farmer's arse, Russian wags recently decided to send a message of their own to visiting aliens, and have succeeded in getting their greeting onto Yahoo! Maps: "Cock" as seen atop Russian flats on Yahoo! Maps For those of you not up to speed on Russian sexual slang, хуй translates as "cock …
For God's sake!
I know it may have sounded like a good idea to run a "cock gag" theme (wranking-cock, downloader-small-coc and now this), but surely there's only so much cock you can expect us to take in one day?
Oops, sorry....
Stupid Story, Reg Stoops to nonsense.
Must be a VERY slow news day. Going to chance the name of the "rag " to The Register Tabloid"??
or "Dick" if you're google.
Cock is listed as Петух
Knew I'd find something on the translation service one day that worked!
If you're Google.
Cock comes up as Петух - knew googles translations would actually work for something one day!
Thanks, Beavis, and thank you too, Butthead
Heh...heh-heh...he said "suck"...heh-heh...heh-heh-heh
Only one meaning
Just a little more info on this exciting topic. Unlike "cock", "хуй" has only one meaning. It is meant to be a vulgar word in all contexts. Also, it means the same thing in other slavic languages as well - so many peoples can now rejoice in seeing their favorite word in Yahoo maps !
Additionally, a very useful but often neglected property of this word, is that it can be spelled in latin alphabet like this = "xyu", and thus cleverly disguised as a mathematical equation.
How they did it.
A story (in Russian only comments, but with pictures) how they have done with this gag:
Russian Graffiti
I'm all for it. While some may argue this was a pointless stunt, it is also harmless. And, in my opinion, funny and amusing...
... Conclusive proof that someone in Russia actually does have a sense of humor!
If that spells cock!
If xyn spells cock I wonder what spells pompous bellend, Which is what most of these people complaining on the no IT angle are :)
Stupid Story, Reg Stoops to nonsense
Shurely the shortest stoop in living memory?
I'll get me coat
