Developing a Vision and Mission
Gathering and Analyzing Data
Interpreting the Data
Examples of Vision and Mission Statements
Quality Indicator Data Matrix
Principal Anthony Taylor is looking for answers. During the last four years, his school has consistently lagged behind in meeting state standards while other schools nearby have been making steady academic gains. Teachers and support staff in the school also are frustrated. They have been working hard as well and have tried new programs and initiatives. Mr. Taylor and his staff believe that the students at the school are capable of academic success, yet the standardized assessments do not reflect their efforts.
Across town, Principal Margina Wells also is looking for answers. Although students in the school consistently outperform other students in the region and have met all Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks, during the last three years student achievement has not increased. Despite the successes, staff and faculty are stymied as to how to help students achieve at increasingly higher levels.
Both scenarios typify the stories of many schools where principals and staff are searching for ways to improve student achievement. The school improvement effort might be initiated by state or district mandate, or it might be motivated by the concerns of school personnel. Teachers and administrators frequently enter the process with some idea of what needs to be reformed or improved, but issues can be overemphasized or overlooked if the process does not begin with a comprehensive needs assessment.
A needs assessment can offer an opportunity for a school to refocus and to gather insights into the school improvement process. The purpose of this newsletter is to outline a process for conducting a comprehensive needs assessment that uses data to drive school improvement and provide a focus for the school improvement team.
A comprehensive needs assessment has three primary steps. First is developing a clear and common vision and mission for the school program that takes into account the unique needs of the students and the community. Second is gathering and analyzing relevant data. Third is interpreting the data by the entire school community—administrators, teachers, staff, families, and community members—in order to develop school improvement goals that are based on data and supported by all stakeholders.
Many schools have vision and mission statements that are written and posted in the building. [See the text box, "Examples of Vision and Mission statements."] Often these statements are revisited every two or three years to reflect changing needs and priorities of students and staff. Sometimes statements are revisited when a new administrator joins the staff, the school has experienced a large turnover in staff, or a significant shift in student population has occurred.
A vision statement is a succinct, clear statement of the shared values of the school community. The entire school community—including family and community members—should come together and ask questions such as: What is important to us? Where do we want to be in five years?
The school's mission statement is derived from the vision and typically provides a longer, more elaborate description of the vision. The vision and mission statements should serve as a framework for identifying improvement priorities and for crafting goals and objectives.
Once the mission and vision are established, the school leadership team can begin the process of collecting data, which can be organized into three general, but essential, categories:
There are different ways to evaluate the school program. For example, classroom instruction may be evaluated through student achievement data and through program data such as classroom observations.
By working together, school and district leaders can identify existing data sources that can be used. Sometimes data are collected by districts and not housed in school buildings. Once the data are collected, they can be represented graphically (e.g., charts, graphs, tables) and the information can be compiled into concise and meaningful reports.
Research can help guide the data-gathering process. Research on effective schools can be organized around six quality indicators—Aligned and Rigorous Curriculum, Effective Instruction, Use of Formative Assessment and Student Assessment Data, Positive School Climate Focused on Achievement, Effective School Leadership, and Parental and Community Engagement (Center for Comprehensive School Reform and Improvement, (2008). The "Quality Indicator Data Matrix" outlines the six indicators and provides examples of potential sources of data that might be collected as part of a comprehensive needs assessment.
There are a variety of computer software programs and printed resources that can be used in collecting and analyzing school data. However, dedicated computer software programs can be costly. As an alternative, standard spreadsheets can be used to compile and analyze data.
Patterns may emerge as the data are organized and analyzed. These patterns may align with what school staff perceived about strengths and weaknesses of the school programs, but some findings may be counter to previously held perceptions.
The final step in the needs assessment is to convene the administration, faculty, staff, and community members to review the data and begin the process of identifying the strengths and priorities that will be included in the final school reform plan. It is important to let the data "speak" for themselves. Present the data and allow the stakeholders to analyze them and draw their own conclusions and interpretations.
Following are two different vision and mission statements that reflect the uniqueness of the individual schools.
South elementary School
VISION: We believe South Elementary School should reflect a caring community and a safe and fair environment in which the school staff, with the support of parents, guides students toward respecting others, understanding the varied cultures of our society, and striving for academic and behavioral excellence.
Smithtown Charter School
VISION: Smithtown Charter School believes that each of us is gifted with a unique potential that defines a destiny. A commitment to character development enables us to achieve personal excellence and find fulfillment in life. We strive for a school where members will be judged not by their inherent talents or native abilities but by the content of their character.
MISSION: The mission of our school is to develop the mind, character, and physical well-being of our students through the creation of an environment fostering:
One way to accomplish this objective is to divide the larger group into smaller teams and give each team time to review the data, identify key findings, and discuss the needs and possible next steps. Provide time for each group to summarize its discussion for the larger group. As a result of this process, some common themes or priorities are likely to emerge.
These common priorities will form the foundation on which the school improvement or reform plan can be built. Make sure to include the following information in the plan:

We have been finding orange smudges in our son's urine-only diapers, what is causing this? This is not in every diaper but maybe 2 or 3 in a week. Should we be worried?
Dr. Greene's Answer:
Orange smudges are usually urate crystals. They are normal, soft, like tiny cubes of Jell-O — sometimes smushed, and sometimes confused with drops of blood in the diaper.
These are more common when kids are a bit dehydrated, but they can show up in healthy babies at anytime.
It just comes from having lots of urate in the urine. Sometimes orange food or some medications (such as rifampin or phenazopyridine (Pyridium)) can also be the culprit for orange smudges in the diaper.

$39.95/Month |
Those who delight in the sensual, erotic pleasures gleaned from a brief glimpse or touch of a slender female leg surrounded by pantyhose or stockings are handed their own Fetish Network website, Nylon Fetish Videos. Promising to bring its members exclusive scenes of softcore, masturbation, and lesbian sex scenes that always incorporate nylon hosiery, this site seems a surefire way to scratch that particular fetishistic itch. Unfortunately, as with so many fetish porn sites, Nylon Fetish Videos struggles to pull it all of without hitting some major bumps in the road.

Nylon Fetish Videos review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 06/04/2012
When looking at the breadth of human sexual fetishism, many of the fetishized objects, acts, and body parts are seen as somewhat socially unacceptable, sometimes questionable, and certainly not the kind of thing to discuss in polite company. There are also, though, those that have worked their way into the public consciousness and are, by the common understanding, seen as merely "sexy", however far the fetishists take their appreciation. Of these, stocking, pantyhose, and nylon fetishism is unarguably the most prevalent. At Nylon Fetish Videos, all those turned on by the soft, sensual tactile sensations provided by lithe feminine gams are granted access to a weekly updated collection of exclusive content catering to their specific masturbatory needs. As the site says, "If you fantasize about legs covered in sexy sheer nylon stockings, then you are in the right place!" With membership costing $39.95 per month, joining the ranks of Nylon Fetish Videos' members might seem like a risky proposition, but is it? That's what I, Mr. Pink, your ever vigilant porno analyst and reviewer, aims to find out. Now, let's slip into something more comfortable, shall we?
From thigh-highs to full stockings, from almost completely sheer to thicker, darker tones, both legs of every model appearing here are covered with one of the most wonderful, funderful substances in all of nature: nylon! It's a pantyhose lover's paradise in here, Jim, so if that's your bag, hop to it.
Most scenes start out with some sultry posing from the delightful models, who usually proceed to expose themselves in a more explicit fashion, pleasuring themselves and often using their hosiery to amplify said pleasure. Many scenes present two models together in sapphic congress and nobody doesn't want to see that.
Everyone who signs up for a Nylon Fetish Videos membership receives much more than access to this one site. The entire Fetish Network is open to all members, providing them with 36 additional fetishistic sites to enjoy. Every kind of fetish porn is featured here, from smoking, smothering and spanking and shemales to fisting, femme dommes, and face sitting, and everything in between.
If you're hesitant to spend nearly forty bucks on a Nylon Fetish Videos membership, why not give the two-day trial membership a shot? After all, it won't cost you a cent providing you cancel before being rebilled and it's the perfect way to find out once and for all if this site will tickle your fancy to the required degree.
The video quality of Nylon Fetish Videos' scenes is uniformly, well, crappy. At 600x400 pixels, the highest resolution format isn't drastically small, but detail is minimal, pixilation is heavy, and colors are either washed out or tinted a strange, unnatural hue. This certainly is not the most attractive presentation of nylon-clad women on the 'net.
If you're hoping some impressive photo content will make up for the disappointing videos, think again. No photo content has been provided, leaving nothing but screencap galleries as weak as the videos they were pulled from.
While it's not easy to accurately identify exactly when Nylon Fetish Videos' content was produced but it's highly unlikely it was this century. Makeup, hair, and clothing styles are significantly dated and the models aren't exactly the cream of porn's current crop.
A number of tour page previews introduce scenes that are not hosted by Nylon Fetish Videos, leaving members to wonder where these scenes might've gone to. Hey, Handmaiden's Surprise, I'm looking your way!
Fetishizing pantyhose, stockings, and their associated accessories is by no means rare, but it seems finding s top-notch site to cater to those special needs is, in fact, quite difficult. Nylon Fetish Videos unfortunately doesn't quite cut it. The videos referred to in the title are uniformly very poor, rife as they are with pixilation, weak colors, and a distinct lack of detail. Updates might be coming every week, but the videos are undeniably aged and hardly constitutes "new" content. There's a fairly large selection of content here, yes, but when it is of such low quality it's hardly worth the html code that presents it in your browser window. Now, it must be said that the huge Fetish Network is definitely worthwhile and makes for a fantastic bonus, but much of the network's non-nylon content also suffers from the same low quality. This is definitely a site that you'll have to check out for yourself, which is why the free two-day trial is an essential precursor to signing up for a regular monthly membership. Try before you buy, nylon fans, especially in this instance, or you could get burned pretty fucking badly.

Teresa became a Christian eight years ago. However, she felt there was something missing from her faith. Then three years ago Dariusz Ziarkiewicz, an Adventist literature evangelist, visited her home. She purchased several books from him including Patriarchs and Prophets and The Desire of Ages.
As Teresa read through these books questions started to pop up in her mind. She asked her priest, but as much as he tried he couldn't come up with answers that satisfied Teresa. A year ago she met a Global Mission pioneer who had just moved to her village. The pioneer asked Teresa if she'd like to study the Bible with him. She readily agreed. As the pioneer carefully combed through the Bible with Teresa she found answers to all her questions.
Not long ago Teresa became the first person to baptized as part of a Global Mission church planting project in northern Poland. Please keep Poland in your prayers. There are many people still searching for a God to love here.
To help Global Mission church planting projects in Europe such as this one in Poland, please support Fund # 5270.
Europe today has the fewest Adventists per capita of any continent. The region's challenges include post-modern and secular countries such as Sweden and the United Kingdom and former Soviet bloc countries, such as Hungary and Poland. Nearly half of all Europeans are secular and practice no religion. Please keep this region of the world in your prayers.
One day while Rajah was holding a Bible study, a mob approached his house, brandishing sticks and swords.

The first sod was cut on 23 April 1903 of shafts No.1 and No.2 and the Barnsley Bed was hit on 23 May 1905 at a depth of 606m. Sumps were established at a depth of 624m in the Dunsil seam. Both shafts were 7m in diameter and brick lined throughout. South Elmsall Colliery situated in the same curtilage as Frickley, was sunk during 1920–23 reaching the Shafton seam at a depth of 218m. This No.3 shaft was 4.26m in diameter and brick lined throughout.
Despite being located in South Elmsall, the colliery was sunk within the land of Frickley Hall, part of the small Hamlet of Frickley, hence the Frickley name.

text: Research Professor Phone: 27 (0)11 717 6698 Research interests: Origins of modern human behaviour, Middle Stone Age archaeology, Blombos Cave, engraved ochre, shell beads . Christopher Stuart Henshilwood is a Research Professor at the Institute for Human Evolution, University of the Witwatersrand and holds a South African Research Chair in the Origins of Modern Human Behaviour funded by the National Research Foundation. Additionally, he is Professor of African Archaeology at the Institute for Archaeology, History Culture and Religion at the University of Bergen in Norway. He directs the Blombos Cave Project in South Africa, a major archaeological research initiative that is contributing significantly to the international debate on the origins of what is considered modern human behaviour. Since 1991, he has led the excavations at this site that have uncovered marine shell beads, engraved ochres and bone tools that date to 75 000 years ago. These finds are widely believed to signify that southern Africa was a primary centre for the early development of modern human behaviour and for the evolution of complex language. He has excavated a number of other Stone Age sites in South Africa and is currently preparing to start new excavations at two Middle Stone Age sites situated in the De Hoop Nature Reserve, southern Cape, South Africa. Henshilwood organizes and directs an annual three-month field school programme based in this reserve for archaeology students from Africa and Europe. Henshilwood holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Cape Town and read for his Ph.D. in archaeology at the University of Cambridge. He held several post-doctoral research fellowships at the University of Cape Town after 1995 and from 1999 ? 2004 he was an Adjunct Professor in archaeology at Stony Brook University, New York before assuming his current positions. He is a director of the Southern Cape Archaeology Trust and between 2001 ? 2008 he was a research member of a Centre National de la Rescherche Scientifique (CNRS) program ?Origine de l Homme, du langage et des langue? based in Bordeaux, France. He was awarded the Chevalier dans l Ordre des Palmes Acad?ques in 2005 by the French Prime Minister for distinguished contributions to French education and culture. He has published widely in scientific journals, has been invited to give public lectures in Europe, America, Asia and Africa, has presented a number of television and radio programs, and regularly writes articles for popular publications.

Be smart about using your smartphone
Mobile apps can make your small business boom
Jay DirkmaatToday's smartphone – whether it is an iPhone, Android device, Blackberry, or Palm – can serve as your communications epicenter when you find yourself away from the office. You don't have to sacrifice functionality and accessibility when you're on the road. While the devices themselves have been a boon to small business, it's the little applications that can be downloaded to these devices that make them so extraordinarily useful.
Cloud computing
The proliferation of cloud computing services has been a real boon for small businesses. Ubiquitous connectivity means that you have access to all of your documents on your office computer, laptop, tablet and smartphone. Think of accessing the cloud from your smart phone not just as an app for enhancing your productivity, but as a way of completely expanding the functionality across your devices. Some cloud based services that we like are Dropbox, SugarSync, QuickOffice Connect™.
Document printing abilities from your phone
Print N Share for Advanced Printing by EuroSmartz allows you to print to all printers via WiFi and wireless-enabled printers without extra software. And, where there is no WiFi, you can print remotely over 3G and in-corporate networks. For times when you need a copy of a document but don't have access to a scanner, JotNot Scanner and ScanBizCards are two great apps than can help you keep track of important documents and business cards straight from your phone.
PageOnce is amazing app that lets users track online spending, watch investments, pay bills and more – all from your phone. You can set up multiple accounts for credit cards to track balances, alerts for when bills are due, investment portfolios with up-to-date changes, airline miles accounts, cell phone minute tracking and even manage a Netflix queue. If you're concerned about security, you'll be happy to know that if your phone is stolen or lost, you can easily disable the mobile connection from the apps main website at Pageonce.
While you're managing your personal finances, you'll also want access to your business books. Quickbooks now offers an application that allows you to run profit and loss statements and look up your contacts while you're on the go.
Individuals and business owners have found Square to be an invaluable asset. The credit card reader attaches to a smartphone making cashless transactions fast and mobile. With Square, no payment processing contract or expensive hardware is necessary. The small plastic square dongle fits into the headphone jack of the phone. With a swipe, the credit card data is captured. The amount is charged is entered. Then, using a finger, the customer signs the phone. The paperless receipt can be emailed to the customer.
In today's fast paced working environment where employees are doing more with less, using these
applications on your device that you already carry everywhere can help cut back on the stress and make you more productive than ever.

Baseball: Keith Lehmann's bat, Alex Vannucci's two-hitter vault Lyons into semis
Updated: July 25, 2012 5:29PM
Keith Lehmann looked to be in some pain in the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday morning.
But the Lyons mainstay was feeling pretty good a few minutes later after the Lions punched their ticket to Thursday's semifinals of the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association's Phil Lawler Summer Classic.
Lehmann's two-run double gave pitcher Alex Vannucci all the offense he needed as Lyons edged Maine South 2-1 at North Central College in Naperville. The Lions (30-4-1) will play Jacobs at 12:30 p.m. Thursday with the winner advancing to the 7 p.m. title game that night. Both games will be at Benedictine University in Lisle.
Maine South, which later was eliminated with a 7-5 loss to Joliet Catholic, took a 1-0 lead into the sixth inning against Lyons as rising senior Jack Touhy was cruising along with a one-hit shutout.
Lyons No. 9 hitter Matt Aikens led off with a single to right and Stewart Nelson hit into a forceout. A stolen base and Mike Lorenz's walk and a wild pitch set the table for Lehmann.
"I had a rough (first) two at-bats," said the incoming senior, who hit into a fielder's choice and struck out in his first looks at Touhy. "I was thinking, 'I knew he had a loopy curveball, so I'll sit on that and adjust to anything else.' ''
That turned out to be a good plan.
"He threw it and I got a good piece of it," Lehmann said. "I just tried to put the ball in play because the runners were at second and third. I was just trying to get a run in."
He wound up scoring two and that was the difference. Vannucci did the rest, pitching a two-hitter with two walks and seven strikeouts.
The ending wasn't without drama. Maine South's Bobby Pennington reached second with one out when Lehmann threw wildly past first on a grounder.
Lehmann, who pitched a complete game on Monday against Joliet Catholic and is the Lions' ace, took off his glove and grabbed his shoulder after the error. But with two out, he fielded Adam Depkon's grounder and threw to first for the game-ending out.
"It's fine, it's fine," Lehmann said of his shoulder. "I tried to rush (the throw on Pennington's grounder) a little too much. I shouldn't have done that."
Vannucci gave up both Maine South hits and the Hawks' lone run in the fourth, when Jesus Saavedra singled, moved up on a wild pitch and scored on Pennington's single. Otherwise, the Lions righty was almost perfect.
"He's a great pitcher, he's a great kid, too," Lehmann said of Vannucci. "Every time he's out on the mound, he battles. I love having him on my team."

The Energy Chef: High-Protein Banana Bread
by Herb Mesa in Uncategorized, December 30, 2010The year is coming to a close, and you know what that means: It's resolution time! Whether you resolve to reach a specific goal or just eat better overall, I have a delicious recipe that will help you kick-start 2011: Banana bread! This high-protein, low-fat version is one of my favorite go-to snacks or quick breakfasts.
The Swaps
Just because banana bread has the word "banana" in it doesn't magically cancel out the bread part. Classic banana bread has up to a cup of butter or oil! In my version, I cut out almost all the fat and all of the flour for a nutrient-packed treat.
Herb's High-Protein Banana Bread
Makes: 1 loaf
Two sweet potatoes, baked
4 egg whites
4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Scoop flesh from sweet potatoes into a large bowl and discard skins. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour into a loaf pan greased with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Nutrition Info Per Serving (1/10 of loaf)

Total Fat: 0.5 grams
Saturated Fat: 0 grams
Total Carbohydrate: 18 grams

The Lottery Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Paragraph)
Quote #4
The crowd was quiet. A girl whispered, "I hope it's not Nancy," and the sound of the whisper reached the edges of the crowd.
"It's not the way it used to be." Old Man Warner said clearly. "People ain't the way they used to be." (68 – 69)
We assume from this statement that people used to be much more accepting of the lottery's results. This may signal the community's potential for doing away with the lottery entirely.
Quote #5
"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her. (80)
Mrs. Hutchinson is protesting only because the violence has become personal. She would have been perfectly fine with the idea of being one of the attackers.

Address: 5th district, Deák tér
Built mostly from 1797 to 1808, the imposing structure reflects the extreme simplicity and grace of early Classic lines. In 1856, the tympanum was added, with the main frontage. Lending its character to the square around it, this imposing its characteristic Doric columns. The excellent acoustics of the building make it a popular venue for organ recitals. The history of Lutheranism in Hungary can be traced at an exhibition next door, at the National Lutheran Museum.

Little Fish
So I am slowly trying to move into the shop. For you local folks you can see my sad attempts through the windows. I had an event there last week for a friend who was launching her business, Little Fish, and so that sparked me to get some of the pretty things together in time but there is a long road ahead! Bare with me folks....I'm working as hard and as fast as I can!
Here are some photos from our event...

Where Did The Last 10 Years Go???
One of my favorite lil' men had a birthday this week and a big one at that...10! He even said to me "Sid, can you believe I am going to be 10?" Then shook his head back and forth like he was carrying all the weight of the world on him. I mean, really???
When did he go from this?
To this???
Yes, that is him getting private coaching lessons from John Smoltz! So grown up.
Speaking of grown up...within an hour of being with him this past weekend he asks me this...
F: "Sid, do you think you'll ever get married?"
S: "I hope so."
F: "So you do want to be married?"
S: "Yes, of course."
F: "So you just haven't found the right guy yet?"
S: "You could say that, yes."
F: "Well good, I was getting worried about you..."
WTH??? Who is the adult and who is the kid here? But I heart him regardless of how fast he is growing up! Happy Birthday Buddy!!! Big hugs as long as you will let me give them to you.
RIP Nora Ephron
So sad to hear that Nora Ephron will no longer be able to make me sob like Aunt Flow is coming to town! She brought us many great movies that I have spent many wasted weekend hours watching like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and Julia and Julia. Let's take a look at the sets from some of these greats, shall we?

This Week I...
Stopped by to check the progress of a client's house I helped with some selections on...
Hall Closet turned Foyer Nook...
Attended SOS benefit at The Lighthouse. It was a smashing success! And lots of fun.
(For those of you that don't know me, I'm the one in desperate need of some powder on the far right.)
Can't remember if I posted this or not but here is what I put together for a client's house...
If you are interested in my e-decorating services, email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Am trying really hard not to throw myself off the Cooper Bridge. Still don't have the CO (certificate of occupancy) for the shop. Going on week three meaning each week I am suppose to get it and each week I don't due to delays by another sub. Also going on month six of working off my coffee table. Starting to loose it like Johnny did in The Shining. I managed to sneak a few things inside anyway so I'll taunt you with some images of what's to come...
If only you could see into my head! Or into the future. It won't be too much longer. But try not to ask me when the shop is opening or else I might go Johnny on your ass ;) Kidding (kinda). I have no idea is the answer because right now things are out of my control but my generic answer "this summer", although I am hoping for late June.
Happy Weekend'ing Everyone!

A Budding Ifiori
Published 01 December 2007
Text by David Trauts
Kuta has a long history in dining. Thirty years ago Made's Warung was the place to find western-style food in a very traditional Kuta. Later, other good restaurants joined the fray, like Poppies, Uns, TJ's, Kori, Macarroni, and Papa's Cafe came to the fast-moving tourist town, some with international chefs, some not, but all bringing a whole new and higher standard in dining. Australian, David Smith, who came to Bali to be chef and ultimately, GM at Papa's Cafe on Jalan Pantai, Kuta, six years ago, is the Executive Chef and GM at a new restaurant in Kuta, Ifiori. Ifiori comes from the same group as Papa's and Kul Kul Hotel, but is a different challenge altogether.
Directly in front of Discovery Mall and parked right next to Waterbom, Ifiori's location is in many ways hard to beat. Besides appearing like a metallic flower sprouting from Kuta's future, the restaurant design suits the urban-ness of the area to a T. It's a multi-level, modern eatery, constructed mainly from steel and glass with an angular peaked roof looking straight down Jalan Kartika Plaza. Sitting out on the terrace watching the bustle of people and traffic file past, you could believe you were sitting on a terrace in any city of the world. It's now a very cosmopolitan location in that part of the world. David brings six years successful experience in the Kuta dining scene to Ifiori, but hasn't brought a copy of Papa's. The menu is Italian but it comes in a less family and more modern style. It meanders through a range of Italian and Mediterranean dishes, all excellently prepared and presented by David and his staff, but there's a pleasant surprise when it comes to asking for the bill. All the dishes on the menu are priced very reasonably. As David told me, one of the initial problems they encountered when opening was that most people passing by the elaborately designed building took it for an expensive restaurant and kept on walking. Kuta tourists still are, apparently, Kuta tourists, but little did they know what was happening inside―prices even cheaper than what's on offer today. However, not all people visiting Kuta are budget conscious, cheap, package tourists. There are many discerning travelers that can rummage around all day looking for bargains, or hanging out on Kuta beach, but when it comes to dining won't settle for anything second rate. Like a handful of other restaurants in Kuta, Ifiori is a restaurant for them. Also, another little known fact is that there's a huge parking area (entered through the Waterbom entrance) that makes a trip to the restaurant a no-fuss experience for locals and regular visitors with their own transport.
Ifiori restaurant offers excellent dining prepared by a very competent team in stylish surrounds and at an affordable price. It's also the newest addition to Kuta's sometimes complicated, but mostly, quite simple, dining scene.
