I worked at CSG Systems International
Pros – Decent local job in the IT field. Benefits.
Cons – Leadership is out of touch with CSG employees working directly with the client. No real opportunities for advancement. Morale continues to nose dive due to yearly layoffs and disconnected leadership. Stay clear unless job security and advancement are not important to you.
Advice to Senior Management – Watch 'Undercover Boss' to see what you've been neglecting. Start caring about those who work directly with your clients.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

During its Monday work session, the Anniston City Council discussed providing a property tax abatement to Agracel Inc., an Illinois-based industrial developer. Agracel owns a McClellan facility that houses International Automotive Components, which does mold injections for automotive parts. Agracel requested the abatement for a potential 127,000-square-foot expansion to IAC, potentially creating more jobs for the area, city officials say.
The council agreed to vote on the request when it meets Monday.
Attempts to reach Agracel and IAC for this article Monday were unsuccessful.
According to Agracel's written request to the city, initial site work for the project began Jan. 1 and construction of the building should be completed in November. Agracel listed a $7.26 million appraisal of the building once completed. The requested tax abatement is for 10 years.
The request did not mention how many potential jobs the expansion might create.
Don Hopper, executive director of the Calhoun County Economic Development Council, was at the meeting to answer the council's questions.
"They need to spend some money on the building now and have asked for the tax abatement," Hopper said.
Hopper noted that IAC had not yet officially committed to the expansion.
At Councilman Jay Jenkins' request, Hopper agreed to provide the council with estimates of how many jobs the expansion might create before the vote next week. City Manager Brian Johnson also agreed to provide the council with estimates of how much property tax the city would abate over the 10-year timeframe.
Mayor Vaughn Stewart said he and the council was excited about the potential expansion.
"This will be huge out there," Stewart said of the McClellan expansion.
Robin Scott, executive director of the McClellan Development Authority, which manages development at the former fort, said during a Monday phone interview that the MDA sold 7 acres to Agracel in late November for the expansion project.
"We will do anything we can to help a company with expansion efforts if it equates to additional jobs in the area," Scott said.
Also during the work session, the council discussed a possible ordinance to ban convenience store owners from placing coolers filled with individual beers on their sales floors. Gadsden City Council member Robert Avery was at the work session to tell the council about a similar ordinance his city approved in 2007. Proponents of such measures say the coolers allow underage drinkers to easily shoplift the beverages.
Avery said the ordinance has helped curb underage drinking in Gadsden.
"It's been a tremendous thing in our community," Avery said.
The council agreed to hold a public hearing about the proposal during its Monday meeting.
The council also discussed applying for a $200,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a city-wide assessment of brownfield properties, sites with actual or perceived hazardous substances that make them difficult to redevelop.
"I think this is important when you look down the line when the city's developing its strategic master plan," Stewart said, referring to a plan the council is working on that will guide development of Anniston in the coming years. "We need to be smart about this."

Neighborhoods: Los Feliz, Central LA
Figaro Bistro is a beautiful Parisian style cafe in the heart of Los Feliz that also operates as a boulangerie and patisserie. During the day take a seat outdoors and people-watch as if you were in the Latin Quarter and at night sit at the snazzy zinc bar (imported from France) and soak in the atmosphere. Figaro is the only establishment in L.A. that I know which keeps a tap of Kronenbourg 1664 beer (brewed in Strasbourg, France). Happy Hour is from 5 - 7 ($3 beer, $5 Kir Royale).
This place is irresistibly adorable. It looks like a restaurant in 1920's Paris. Really great happy hour!
This place will feel like you're in a French bistro in Paris. The chairs, the decor and the wine. Oh the wine.
The sidewalk seating is as charming as their croissants. Perfect for a weekend brunch and some people watching.
I've never eaten anything here except brunch, but I love the bread baskets, giant Cafe Au Laits, and their parisian omelet. So good. Fun for sitting on the sidewalk, people watching, too.
A mediocre lunch experience – Our waitress was inexperienced and forgetful. We had to keep asking for our food -- not something I'm used to doing when I'm paying sixty five dollars for lunch. Both my friend and I were underwhelmed by the soup du jour (tomato basil which was lumpy and lukewarm) as well as our salad entrees. I've heard Figaro was a wonderful Los Feliz restaurant. What happened?
Really Enjoy The Food!! – I enjoy their food here. I don't know if it's also the same chef cooking as the one in Top Chef this season, but at least I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried. More accurately, I think I should say that the food comes out in successions, at the perfect timing.
Left Bank in LA – Stumbled upon this french cafe/bistro while driving back from Griffith Observatory. It feels like walking into a real Parisian cafe, with oversized vintage mirrors, chandeliers, rattan cafe chairs, and an assortment of baked goods. There is a great happy hour with crab cakes and fries and house wine (the latter being a bit awful). The dinner menu has a good mix of vegetarian, meat and poisson- I had the peppercorn ahi, which was divine. Definitely go for the authentic atmosphere, outdoor seating and friendly service.
I've been here several times over the last few years, and the last 2 times I've been were less than moving.
For one, the dish we had always been told was vegan- the layered mashed potato dish, we came to find out was not after eating it for the past few years. The only vegan dish they have on the menu is a bland tofu and couscous dish, which is only ok after adding the spicy sauce to it, and no where near worth the $18 they want for it.
Overpriced and underwhelming is my general sentiment about this place.
I mean it's fun to come and gawk at Katherine Heigl and that dude from 24, and the decor is super cute and quaint but I'm writing this review to remind myself to not allow myself to be seduced once more by the patina of delicious specialness that this place has.
Great food, POOR SERVICE!!!!
No what to order – I'm a big foodie and love a great flavorful steak. Well, let me tell you! I walked into this place on a whim. And I fell in love shortly after!
Go and order the cheese fondue....killer, and the $60 porterhouse steak. It's meant to be shared and it's amazing. Lots of flavor and these guys do a perfect medium rare. Frites are yummy too! Order these items and you will be in food bliss! Yum.
Very slow service......but hey nice people – Place looks a little worn but nice. Its the service that truly is bad. Takes forever to get your waiter over and even to get your coffee. Don't believe me? Try it any morning. Food is ok but over price for what you get. Salad is in a big store bought bag they pour the dressing into and shake. Some love the look but you will be waiting awhile.
Beauty thats charming, and cheep ! ( but in a good way ! ) – This palce is the best secret in hollywood. The menu is full of the hearty french dished that have prevailed through gererations.With big, well presented, specials. You are sure to get your fill. The dining room is a candle light opera with a charming, bohemia feel. with the seats more like couches you could stay here all night.
The Bar area is a wonder of french style. You well be taken back buy the original light fixtures, huge wall meriors, and zinc top bar. All shipped from Paris. It?s so beautiful that it has attracted such Hollywood greats as Penelope Cruz, and Madonna for photo shoots. ( Their is also outside seating if you smoke )
They offer a cheep happy hour from 5 to 7 everyday. You could easily get your fill for less than ten dollar with their mini martini's, and escargot. The bartender Wally is rather charismatic and likes his Jazz so be sure to say hello.
All in all this is just a cute little place, with a lot a charm. The service is wonderful, you can even brush up on your french with half the staff speaking it. I would take a date here, or just go and hang out with a bottle of champagne.
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigaro! – This restaurant is so cute and has so much character. LA needs more places like this. It's great for lunch or dinner. The first time I went with my bf for a date night. He had the special which was lamb with couscous and it was amazing! I had a salmon salad and it was equally delicious. High quality and so much flavor. The second time I went was with some friend for lunch and we had a great time. I was craving something sweet so I asked for the dessert menu and the lady came back with a platter with all their desserts. I chose the fruit tart and it looked so perfect that I didn't want to eat it....but I did. It took me like 5 seconds to inhale it. So good.

After waiting out a soaking rain for five hours and then playing through its remnants, Jacksonville State dropped game two of its weekend series with Belmont Saturday 10-6, falling further behind in the Ohio Valley Conference baseball race.
The Gamecocks (26-21, 17-6 OVC) went into the series with a percentage points hold on first place in the league. They left Saturday night in third place, 1.5 games and 53 percentage points behind league-leading Tennessee Tech, which was playing out of conference this weekend.
The top two teams draw first-round byes in the OVC Tournament.
"It was an ugly, ugly night for baseball," JSU coach Jim Case said. "Every single ball that hit the ground had to be thrown out. There was no such thing as a ground ball going back to the mound.
"There were some positives, there just weren't enough."
Nothing was uglier than the way the Gamecocks played the sixth inning.
They had just taken their only lead of the game in the home fifth, then fell back behind 7-5 after two errors by first baseman Adam Miller, a balk before reliever Michael Mason even threw his first pitch and a wild pitch led to three runs.
In addition to that bad inning, the Gamecocks had a runner thrown out at home, their six pitchers issued nine walks, and their fielders were charged with four errors. They easily could've been charged with a season-high fifth error on a liner that scorched through left-fielder Chase Silvani's glove in the seventh inning and was scored a double.
"We just didn't take care of the ball," Case said. "They were routine type things. We had a difficult time tonight.
"It was like the wheels came off for a short period of time and it was like it snowballed."
The game originally was set for 2 p.m. but was pushed back by the weather projections to 6 and then 6:30. Where possible, the JSU players were working on the field to have it ready in the event they played.
Once the game finally got underway, shortly after 7 p.m. with rain still falling, JSU starter Taylor Shields never could get on track. He threw 43 pitches in the first inning and was touched for three runs.
He went 0-2 on the game's first hitter but lost him to a full-count single, then gave up two other run-scoring hits and walked three before the inning was over. He was lifted in the second after giving up a first-pitch leadoff double.
"He was down, which is usually a real good sign for him, but he was down and out of the strike zone," Case said. "Generally when he pitches and things don't go good it's because he's up. Well, he wasn't up. Everything was down, but he just had a hard time getting in the bottom of the strike zone. When he came back out for the second inning and they hit the first pitch, I thought, hey, this was not his night."
The Gamecocks scored in the second on a groundout by Andrew Bishop. Belmont got it back in the top of the third off Graham Officer, but JSU closed to 4-3 on Paschal Petrongolo's two-run single in the bottom of the inning.
JSU tied it in the fourth when Miller lofted a fly into right and Belmont right-fielder Drew Turner slipped on the wet grass trying to move on it. The ball fell for a hit and scored Silvani, who started the rally with a two-out single.
Petrongolo scored the go-ahead run in the fifth. He led off the inning a double underneath the scoreboard and later scored when Andrew Bishop hit into a double play.
The Gamecocks fell apart in the sixth. Belmont loaded the bases when Miller dropped an infield pop. Case brought in Mason, who immediately balked home the tying run. The Bruins (32-13, 18-5) went ahead when Miller threw wildly to the plate on a potential double-play grounder and added another run on a Mason wild pitch.
JSU cut it to 7-6 on Griff Gordon's RBI double, but Miller was cut down at the plate trying to score from first on the play.
Michael Bishop had three hits for JSU and Petrongolo had two. Coty Blanchard saw his 14-game hitting streak end, but he has reached base in 24 straight games.
Drew Ferguson, Jared Breen and Turner all had three hits for Belmont.

Christian conference will focus on building Biblical families9:14 am | September 14, 2012
Leading experts on Christian family life skills will keynote a two-day, multi-denominational conference at Freedom Hall Civic Center Sept. 28-29 in Johnson City. The mission of the Worldview on the Family Conference is to assist Christian parents in raising their children with a Biblical view on today's controversial issues.
Dr. Voddie Baucham and Bill Jack, keynote speakers for the conference, are noted Christian experts on the relevance of God's word to everyday life without compromising key values that are needed to raise Christian children. "These men are nationally-recognized leaders in the effort to shore up the strength of Christian parents in fulfilling their responsibilities as Godly leaders of their family," said Steve Trinkle, a member of the organizing group of the conference and local minister.

Rights for Guides !
Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the European economy. At the same time, companies face extensive requirements: to cope with the impact of the economic and financial crisis.
But again, it appears that a group of employees in tourism is excluded from transnational representation, information and knowledge about their rights, although they work for transnational tourism companies: tour guides (local representatives of tour operators), tour managers and entertainers. Many tour operators have relocated their tour guide organisations to Switzerland, from where the allocation of tour guides and animatores is steered. By this they are excluded from the labour laws in their countries of origin as well as from the coverage of EWCs. The Swiss labour law does not provide them with any support in their places of work outside of Switzerland. With regard to cost-cutting measures, they are helpless at the mercy of the employers. ETLC starts a project, to investigate the working conditions and work structures of tour guides (local representatives of tour operators), tour managers and entertainers, and to develop proposals for improvement.
Our project is financially supported by the European Community.

When you think of the Rebels fighting against the evil Empire of Star Wars, you might be quick to compare liberal Democrats as the Rebels and conservative Republicans in the role of Darth Vader, the Emperor and the rest of the Empire.
However, the Conservative website American Daily Review thinks we all have it backwards. Dr. Tony Magana suggests that it's the Republicans who best represent the ideals of the Rebel Alliance.
Dr. Magana writes:
The 1977 classic movie, Star Wars, portrayed an epic struggle between a righteous outnumbered few (Rebel Alliance) against a much stronger dominant government (Empire). The now well known story tells how a small group of activists can effect change by adhering to their principals as a source of power and focusing their efforts on the identifiable vulnerability of their adversary. A useful analogy may be drawn to the current situation of contemporary conservative activism.
In his article, Dr. Magana takes a look at Twitter trends to see what topics are being talked about online the most, as opposed to the topics that mainstream media controls and "casts the Democrats in a favorable fashion and castigating the Republicans."
In his research, he notes that the top tagged tweets are written by conservative bloggers using the hashtag #tcot (short for "Top Conservatives on Twitter"), which in turn he translates to mean Twitter's top hashtagged stories are dominated by Conservatives. (Though Oprah and Ashton Kutcher probably wouldn't agree with that assessment.)
Just as the Rebel Alliance banded together to used technology and unite their grassroots efforts to overthrow the Empire, Dr. Magana suggests that the Conservatives do the same as he writes:
The recent success of the tea party movement was accomplished not by the single organizational efforts of the Republican party or some imagined Fox News conspiracy as contrived by the left but rather by a grass roots movement facilitated by the internet which allowed numerous neighborhood and local movements to communicate with each other. This mechanism is now being used to allow almost instantaneous response to issues like gun control, abortion, and interrogation methods by Conservatives.
In Star Wars the Jedi were warned against using hate as a destructive force but instead to trust their principals. Similarly, Conservatives must avoid spending too much time being reactive (the antagonist) or negative and instead spend more time being protagonist for Conservative principals. This way they can begin to control the message.
Dr. Magana continues with the Star Wars analogy:
The recent departure of Arlene Specter can be likened to the lancing of an abscess to remove the nidus of infection which is necessary for a body to be healed. Similarly, the Republican party must purge out the Republicans In Name Only (RINO) if they do not immediately repent. The "force" of the Republican party is their conservative principals, just like the Jedi Luke Skywalker, they must resist temptations away from this force.
I am reminded of the classic battle in the movie Star Wars where the small force of the Rebel Alliance is attacking the much larger and stronger fleet of the Empire. They know that to win there is only one strategy, they must focus their attack on a specific area of vulnerability on the otherwise impenetrable Death Star. In the end, victory was achieved by "staying on target."
My advice to the Republican party is simple, believe in the "force" (your conservative principles). Identify the "target" (the economy and the war). Win by "staying on target."

PHILADELPHIA — Dom Brown should expect to be busy as he takes part in his first All-Star Game this week.
"There's basically stuff going on 24/7," said teammate Cliff Lee, who will be making his fourth appearance. "I didn't expect that much stuff to be going on. It's just nonstop the whole time you're there.
Charlie Manuel, who managed the National League team in 2009 and 2010, estimated that Brown will be handed at least 50 boxes of balls to sign. That's 600 baseballs.
"It's definitely not a break," Lee added.
OK, so the "All-Star break" isn't aptly named for those taking part in the festivities. But Lee was quick to add how much he looks forward to being an All-Star each time he is one.
"It's an honor," said Lee, who was the A.L. starting pitcher in 2008, his first year on the team. "I would do it every year if they let me."
Teammates Michael Young, a seven-time All-Star, and Cole Hamels, a three-time honoree, each advised that Brown dive head-first into everything. Every party. Every event. Every gathering.
Brown will also get dragged to meetings, do interviews with print reporters, talk to TV personalities and pose for pictures. All that before he even plays in the game Tuesday night at Citi Field in Flushing, N.Y.
"Get enough sleep because it's a whirlwind, but you want to at least say that you did everything," Hamels said.
Having said that, Young wants Brown to make it a point to mentally make note of everything he can, especially if he's not recording things on his phone.
"The biggest thing is to try and slow those couple of days down because they fly by and you have no time to yourself," Young said. "You get tugged in 50 different directions from the time you get to the ball park to obligations at the hotel to media day. The next thing you know the game on Tuesday ends and it's a ghost town. The biggest thing I would tell him is to make sure he enjoys everything."
You might expect Young to say his "wow moment" at the All-Star Game came when he was named the MVP in 2006.
Nope. His highlight came when the best closer in the history of the game, Mariano Rivera, asked Young to exchange caps. Young gave Rivera a signed Texas Rangers hat with the All Star Game logo on it; Rivera, baseball's all-time leader with 637 saves, handed Young a signed New York Yankees equivalent.
"I had signed some stuff for guys before, but that was the first guy of that stature to ask me for something like that," Young said. "That was a pretty special moment. I have it in my house right now."
Hamels, a San Diego native, had his sights set on stealing a moment with Trevor Hoffman, who pitched for the Padres for 16 years and sits in second place on the all-time saves list with 601.
When Hamels didn't get to play catch with Hoffman in 2007, he did the next best thing. As he had a catch with Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny, he lined up next to Hoffman and the two chatted.
Lee doesn't get excited about much or show emotion easily. But he admitted that in 2008 when he walked in the trainer's room and he saw Roy Halladay and Alex Rodriguez there, he stuck around just for the chance to talk to them.
"That was a moment where I was like, 'This is pretty neat,'" Lee recalled. "It was my first All-Star Game and I don't know how many for them at that point. It was definitely a moment where I was the same as those guys and it felt pretty good. You're on the same level with the best of the best."
Brown, who will have his parents, his sister and close friend at Tuesday's game, is doing his best not to think too much about what lies ahead of him this week. He doesn't want to get too revved up beforehand, mostly because his focus has been on the final series of the first half.
Heading into Saturday's doubleheader, Brown, 25, was tied for second in the league with 23 home runs. He was third in total bases (188), fourth in slugging percentage (.550), tied for fourth in RBIs (54) and fifth in extra-base hits (42).

Hello and thank you for visiting my cosplay profile!
I've been cosplaying since 2003, which is when I attended my first convention, Anime Weekend Atlanta. Without the slightest clue how to use a sewing machine, I managed to put together a Xianghua (Soul Calibur) costume using mainly an iron and hot glue. It wasn't the greatest costume, but it received a warm reception none-the-less and the general energy I felt while at my first con got me hooked. I have been sewing ever since, gaining new skills, and as my friends like to say, leveling up. I still have a lot to learn, but I try to push myself with each new costume.
If you would like more details on any of my costumes, please visit my website at yashuntafun.com or my facebook! Thanks~

Can Anyone Figure Out How This Timelapse Was Filmed?
The guys at T-Recs (short for timelapse recordings) created a timelapse video that is unlike anything I have seen before. We have all seen timelapse videos that have camera movement but nothing like this. Some how these guys are making really big moves, almost like they are shooting out of an airplane. Anyone know how this sort of thing is done?

Springtime Shrimp and Grits
Author Notes: I grew up in SW Louisiana and have never been able to get enough of its food. Spoiled by the seafood, brightened by the bold flavors, unafraid of spice...I've carried that with me since leaving the deep South nearly 2 decades ago. While DC has some Southern elements, it doesn't display them in any obvious fashion. This is fine in cold, wintery months but when spring emerges, I think I feel nostalgiac, ready for shorts, ready for seafood, ready for summertime and the livin's easy.
Spring has come in fits and starts this year. Today brought some sun to my yard, fresh FL corn to the market and a real yen for shrimp and grits to me. I bought some corn, grabbed some gulf shrimp from my freezer, and looked at the last of this past Sunday's scallions, green garlic and garlic chives haul from the farmers market in my fridge. Great combo? Um, yes! - em-i-lis
Serves 3-4
For the grits
- 3 cups whey (leftover from making fresh ricotta), or milk
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1½ cup grits
For the veggie sauté and shrimp
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 ear corn, shucked, kernels cut off
- 1 cup green onions/scallions (~1 bunch), chopped
- ½ cups green garlic (~ 3 bulbs), white and light green parts chopped
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- zest of 1 lemon, divided in half
- 1 tablespoon sherry
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons garlic chives, chopped
- lemon wedges for serving
- In a skillet, melt and brown 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. When ready, add corn kernels, green onions and green garlic. Sauté, stirring, for about 3 minutes, just until tender. Pour mixture into a bowl and set aside. Do not rinse out skillet.
- In a small bowl, put shrimp and sprinkle salt, cayenne and 1/2 the lemon zest on top. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a 4-quart pot, put whey, water and salt. Bring to a boil. When boiling, add grits, and whisk pretty continuously until cooked (cook time depends on grit type; quick grits will take just 3-4 minutes, longer grits can take up to 25 minutes, don't use instant).
- In the meantime, grab the skillet you used for the veggies, set it over high heat and throw the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in it. Let melt and start to brown. When ready, add the seasoned shrimp you set aside earlier and the sherry, and cook 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until orange and just cooked through.
- Stir 3/4 of the veggie mixture into the grits. Pour this mixture into a serving bowl and top with the rest of the veggie mixture. Pour the cooked shrimp and their juices over the grits and veggies, sprinkle the rest of the lemon zest and the chopped garlic chives on top and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges alongside!

The 51-year-old Anniston resident transforms delicate ivory doilies into works of art. Sowell dyes, paints and stains intricately crocheted doilies, making each one unlike the next.
"Painting is a way of making old things new again," Sowell said.
As a teenager, Sowell, a Missouri native, began collecting odd items — dresses, textiles, glassware and doilies — that she sometimes refers to as "old things." By the time she moved to Anniston in 2008, Sowell said she had quite a collection of doilies.
It was around the same time that Sowell — a draftsman, turned technical illustrator, turned technical writer — found herself out of work as the Great Recession set in.
Disillusioned by unemployment, Sowell turned to art as a creative outlet.
She first imagined the concept of her doily art while experimenting with tie-dying, a technique she learned as a girl at a "hippie camp" in the 1960s. Thumbing through her collection of "old things" one day, she began to imagine what it would be like to add color to the aging doilies.
After selecting a doily, Sowell often begins her work by dying each piece. Then she adds color — with water color paint, sharpies, oil pastels or any medium that the dollies will absorb.
"I generally have to work with whatever medium works best with that doily," Sowell said.
The center and all the distinguishable parts of each piece are painted in their own hue, and not every doily is cut out for color. Some look best just framed on a wall in their original color, she said.
"If you actually saw the doilies, they would scream at you, 'Do this to me'," Sowell said, who prefers vibrant colors to muted hues. "Some of them are so delicate that you don't want to overwhelm them with a lot of color, and some are so bold that they need color."
Her favorite pieces, she said, are usually the doilies that begin with a distinguishable butterfly pattern woven into their web of thread.
Sowell said she's made more than 30 pieces of doily art. Now people send her doilies, often donating them to her on a whim.
In the corner of Sowell's home that serves as a makeshift studio sits an old drafting table, now covered in the tools of her craft. A vintage box mailed from a northern city contains petite doily rounds. Another pile of vintage crochet is from a collection given to her in Tybee Island, Ga., from a woman who voluntarily donated her family doilies, which Sowell said date back to the 1800s.
"I have always loved things that are old," Sowell said. "My goal is to just make them new again."
Some of her finished doilies look a bit like a round butterfly wing, and many look quite unlike the ivory doilies that once commonly rested on sofa arms and end tables.
Each one is paired with a complementary mat and framed. Many find homes on the walls of Sowell's two-bedroom apartment.
Some have been given away, and at least one — a pastel piece currently in the works — was commissioned.
The doilies recently made their public debut at a fall exhibit at the Anniston Yoga Center on Nobel Street.
Sowell's doily art may be gaining recognition, but she doesn't see the notoriety as the highlight of her life as a doily artist. The sometimes writer, sometimes collector, sometimes painter sees it as a beginning.
"I'm just getting started," Sowell said.

6572 S Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd, Salt Lake City, UT | Directions 8412140.632104 -111.805267
Daily 11am-2pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm
Best Sushi in Utah, No Questions! – I have eaten sushi all over Utah and Mikado always comes out number one. My husband and I go there at least once or twice a month. The sushi is ALWAYS fresh, the rolls are good-sized, and we have never gotten a roll we didn't like. Some people have said their rolls are expensive but I haven't thought this at all. Their rolls may be a dollar or two more than some places but they are literally almost twice the size so in actuality I have found them to be less expensive. Sometimes the service is lacking, but overall I am ADDICTED to this place and I have yet to find any place that does sushi as well as they do. If you love sushi, the only place in Utah I would recommend that I have been is Mikado.
Great saturday evening experience – We had a great meal at Mikado this month. A varied menu, excellent sake and some very creative and unusual sushi creations. Definitely a new favourite for me.
Read our full review over at Gastronomic Salt Lake City.
Service sometimes lacking, food always makes up for it – My husband and I often frequent mikado downtown. They used to have discount sushi days with a customer card that you sign up for but it has recently been stopped. I live for the connect roll. The miso soup is so-so but my husband really likes the salad and teriyaki chicken although the portion size constantly changes with the plating, which can be disappointing. It's a little over priced so we don't go as often as we'd like but it's not enough to keep us away. Be aware of conventions in town, the place can quickly become packed as it is across the street from the convention center.
Nice change of atmosphere. – I have been to some of the nicer sushi houses here in Utah. As far north as Logan and as south of Provo. I have my favorites. This might be one that is up and coming on my list. We were in the area of Fort Union and we were in the mood for sushi. So we used a feature on my GPS unit to find this place. We arrived right as the luch rush was ending (always a good time to show up), and were greated promptly. A bit of a wait but very friendly host small taked with us until a table was ready. I would've prefered to sit at the bar but it was that first time for someone in our party. After looking over the menu I was very impressed with their specialty rolls. A bit more expensive then I would've like for lunch but I'm a push over for sushi. I ordered the lunch special which consisted of a sushi roll (california roll I think), shrimp tempura and veggie tempura, two peices of sushimi, fruit (which was a nice treat to off set the sushi), and my favorite about 5 pieces of sliced spicy tuna. All served with a variity of sauces on the side, that the server kindly described and suggested what to use with what (very nice A+). My mom who what out with us and had sushi for the first itme ever ordered there Box lunch. Very good choice for a first timer. Everything came as it stated, in a box! She though it was great. Large portion of sticky rice, shrimp and veggie tempura, a california roll cut into 5 pieces, and a terryaki salmon with baby carrots and sweet pea pods. It was a great time had by all. Because of the timing the crow was just leaving so it wasn't too crazy or loud. I will deffinatley consider coming again if I'm in the area and I'm in the mood for sushi.
Great service, excellent sushi – We've been to most of the Sushi places in SLC and this ranks among the best. The sushi, particularly the specialty rolls, is exceptional. We've been many times and never once had "slimy" sushi or seen any uncleanliness referred to by other reviewers. The prices are somewhat high, but what sushi place doesn't have high prices?
Don't understand the hype. – My friends and family frequents this restaurant and raves about how great it is. I finally decided to take my friends up on the offer and joined them last night. The hostess kindly greeted us and our waitor was great - I just wish the sushi would have been. I was not impressed at all!! The seaweed was slimy. The rolls fell apart when you barely touched them with your chopsticks and every roll we ordered - at least 5 different kinds - all had the same bland, heavy sauce poured over the top of them. At least I had my Sapporo and the company of good friends to enjoy! Can you tell the highlight was not the sushi!?!?! I have no desire to return.
Love their Half-Price Rolls! – My friends and I LOVE this place. We typically go on Mondays or Tuesday for the half price sushi rolls/appetizers. We sit at the sushi bar and have great conversations with the sushi chefs. Don't know if I'd come to Mikado for a full-price meal, but the half-price rolls are FABULOUS! I highly recommend the Connect Roll and the Red Dragon.
Drastically going downhill – We have been going to Mikado in Cottonwood for a couple of years. The service has always been iffy at best but the sushi was generally pretty fresh and good. However, the last 5-6 times that we have been there in the last six months, everything has gone downhill - service and quality.
We almost always sit at the sushi bar and are constantly seeing the staff eating in between serving everyone. Never once have I seen the staff wash their hands after eating before they return to serving. I have seen the guys at the tempura station with no hat on, scratchy their faces, picking their ears, and running their hands through their hair. Absolutely disgusting.
The quality of the sushi has gone down dramatically as well. All of our sushi this last time was very fishy and not fresh at all. The staff seems more concerned with goofing off and eating then service or quality.
The Mikado is not a cheap place to eat. It can be pretty pricey, especially with drinks. On a positive note, it is clean and well lit. The larger the Latitude chain gets, the worse their restaurants are getting. I would not recommend the Cottonwood Mikado at all. Management really needs to take a look at what is going on and take some serious action.
SLOW Service, okay food – We went to Mikado for Saturday lunch (1/27/07). We were promptly sitted in the "basement" dining section and I thought it was a nice atmosphere, different than other restaurants I've been in. I asked the server a question and he let me know that this was his first shift so he didn't know a lot. That should have been my first clue that there would be trouble. There were no other servers assisting or training him in this section and they were very busy as a retailer convention was in town. We ordered 5 different specialty sushi rolls, emimame (soy bean appetizer), and their Asian Fries. The first 2 rolls arrived fast and so we thought this was going to be our sushi restaurant that we would frequent from now on. The rolls were good, nothing excellent though. The Asian Fries were way over-priced for the amount that you got. For around $5.00, you got 4 Asian skinny fries about 10" long. For that price, I would have expected double the amount. Then the nightmare began ... we waited literally one full hour and our other 3 sushi rolls still had not arrived. I order all my rolls with no avocado and I heard the server deliver a "no avocado" roll to the table next to me. After the table ate it, they told the server that they ate something they didn't order! Guess that was ours! Our water glasses were empty during this hour and I finally had to ask for water. My husband almost had us walk out. The server explained to us that the kitchen was backed up. After 1 hour, 2 rolls were delivered. 1 1/2 hrs later, we received the final roll however it wasn't the one we ordered. We were so put out, we just ate it and called it good. The waiter then told us that he would try to get us a discount but when he came back he told us that he wasn't able to do so. A table with Asian visitors next to us also complained that they had waited 1 hour to receive Udon soup! The service was horrendous, sushi was average at best, and we'll not be returning. If you go, plan on paying for 2 hr parking.
great variety, great flavor, great price – This is honestly the best sushi i've ever had. happy sumo has nothing on Mikado. It is nice fun, and relaxing environment. On thursday nights when there is a DJ from 9-10:30, it is really fun and throws a little edge into the scene. All of the servers are very nice, helpful and qualified. I crave this sushi. If, i lived closer i would seriously eat there everyday.
