Hi there!
My name is Katherine. When I am not tutoring, I work full-time as an engineer. I also like to surf and train for triathlons in my spare time.
What is my tutoring background?
Well, I tutored several students in high school. I helped my friend pass college level physics class, when he was failing after the midterm.
My big goal is to make sure that I understand what a student is struggling with and help them learn it! I find learning to be fun. I hope to share my passion for learning with everyone.
My education background includes having graduated in the top 10% of my high school class. I was also a four year varsity Letterman so I understand how challenging it can be to squeeze in studying! During my senior year, I took an received college credit for several AP tests. I was fortunate enough to get accepted into Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where I studied Mechanical Engineering. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Engineering at University of Southern California.
My tutoring style:
During my first tutoring session with a new student, I work with the student to figure out where the student is struggling. I may ask to borrow some of their course material, which will be returned promptly after I make copies so that I may develop additional study tools. I always try to provide a positive encouragement. I will ask a student a lot of questions because I do not like to give a way the answer. I like them to find it.
I hope you got a little sense of who I am. I look forward to working with you or your student.

Apple allegedly approves Pegatron for iPad 3 production, but is not replacing Foxconn
According to Taiwan Economic News, Taiwan-based Pegatron has outbid Foxconn for production of Apple's next-gen iPad (or "iPad 3" until/unless Steve Jobs gives it a better name). While other news outlets such as BGR are reporting this as an exclusive contract (meaning Foxconn would no longer produce the iPad 3), our interpretation differs. Instead, it seems Apple is diversifying production of the iPad 3 across both Foxconn and Pegatron.
"Hon Hai is likely to turn Apple's another contract order for iPad 3 manufacturing over the Taiwanese counterpart, as the customer has considered looking for a second iPad supplier to reduce over-dependence on Hon Hai," the Taiwanese report indicates (emphasis ours). The wording here seems to point to two factories producing the iPad 3, not just one.
Spreading iPad 3 production over two contractors makes more sense than shutting Foxconn out completely. Having two contractors manufacturing the iPad 3 should theoretically go a long way toward lightening the supply constraints that have plagued the iPad line from the beginning. Apple execs have repeatedly said that iPads are being sold "as fast as we can make them," and the only thing holding the iPad back from raking in even more profits for Apple has been Foxconn's inability to churn them out fast enough to satisfy demand.
Rather than abandoning Foxconn, adding Pegatron to the mix means iPad production should increase enough to satisfy the great demand for the device. Earlier reports indicated Apple was indeed looking for a second supplier for iPad 3 units, not an outright replacement for Foxconn. A later report indicated Hon Hai (owner of Foxconn) said it would be able to handle production of the iPad 3 all by itself, but if the latest report from Taiwan Economic News is accurate, Apple apparently disagrees.

I've had a tinker with Flows in my spare time but like most things you only really get to know them when you actually have to use them. Unfortunately for me up until now tinkering is all I have been able to do and I haven't felt like I had anything to add to the already fairly comprehensive opus of work on Flows. That is until today when I was actually presented with an opportunity to make use of Flows in real life! My use case was simple, take a list of records and update the value of one field on them all – the value of which the user must be able to select.
Publisher Actions and Custom Images
My recent work has had me having to create a series of custom publisher actions. "Old news" I hear you say. And it is publisher action seem to have been around forever and plenty has been writtne on the whys and wherefores of them, so I don't want to rehash that information here. Instead I want to share a very small quirk of the Salesforce1 mobile app in relation to custom publisher actions and custom icons.
Summer of Hacks – London
This weekend sees the Salesforce London Summer of Hacks event and along with three others I will be judging the entries on Sunday afternoon. I am really excited to be a part of this event even if I'm not packing my laptop, Pro Plus and sleeping bag!
Don't override standard actions in controller extensions
Visualforce extensions provide a quick way to add some otherwise non standard functionality to your pages whilst at the same time making use that you have access to all of the standard goodness. However we need to just exert a little bit of caution when doing this as permissions come into play and can cause some behaviour which you might not expect.
Salesforce1 Dev Week Was Great… But What Next?
So Salesforce1 Dev Week is over and what a week it was! I was lucky enough to be at the Developer User Group in Bristol, UK and was excited to see so many people turn out for the evening. I think the best thing for me was the fact that half the people in the room had never see the Salesforce1 mobile app before. I take these things for granted, I'm lucky enough to be in a job which means I get to see this technology and play with it, whereas the DUG reminded me that most people don't!
So, a week ago I helped double the number of local developers that knew of this fantastic new world but that is just the starting point. The next step is to at least double the number of developers that knew about Salesforce1 in the entire UK. A lofty goal I know, but I have a secret weapon at my disposal: the Salesforce1 World Tour on May 22nd.
apex:actionFunction Can Throw a Cross-Domain Exception
VisualForce pages get served from the visual.force.com domain right? Generally speaking, yes. In fact since back in 2009 when VisualForce pages were moved into their own domain to make applications more secure this has been the standard process.
This is an interesting piece of history, for sure, but it's not quite the whole truth. It turns out that there is a permission that Salesforce have access to which will revert to the old behaviour and VisualForce pages will be served from the salesforce.com domain. I'm not privy to the whys and wherefores of having such a permission but it exists and occasionally as an ISV we trip across people that have this option enabled on their Orgs. I say trip over because it causes some inconsistent behaviour to occur which always causes our application to barf.
Missing Name Field on Person Accounts
Person Accounts are loved the world over and their foibles are well documented. However I struggled to find any particular reference to this little gem and as a form of therapy and to serve as a remind for future generations I find myself duty bound to make a note of it.
For some reason the Name field for a Person Account object is not provided in the Trigger.new and Trigger.old collections. I appreciate that this field is an almalgmation of the FirstName and LastName of the related contact but it seems inconsistent to drop the field completely from the object in this one circumstance.
A New year is upon us and last year's Dreamforce is all but a distant memory to most of us. I learnt a lot and had a great time but I don't want to dwell on that too much. Instead I want to answer a question that I was asked in my Designing APIs session that I couldn't provide a good enough answer to at the time.
The question was around how to deal with versioning an Apex API in a managed package. My advice at the time was to try to not have to version things. And whilst I stand by this it wasn't particularly helpful; there are obviously going to be times when you have to make changes, breaking changes that mean you need to completely remove methods from your code. So how does this work in Apex?
Develop For Your Admins
I was having a conversation over lunch a few days ago when I was asked "what originally drove you to Salesforce?". I surprised myself a little with the answer: It was how quickly I could make changes to the system – how quickly I could take a business process and free it from the shackles of spreadsheets and post-its and turn it into a fantastic, computerised, cloud based system. This impressed people around me too, in particular business owners, I got sucked deeper into the rabbit hole and the rest is, as they say, history.
It was the "Clicks Not Code" that actually won me over. Obviously I went on to get a deeper understanding of the platform and how to develop on it, but in the first place it was the declarative nature of things that drew me in. And I know that I am not alone in this fact, in fact this is one of the real powers of Salesforce and something that developers forget all too easily.
Currency Is Case Sensitive
Every day is a school day, or so the saying goes. And today has once again lived up to that adage.
I have been creating a webhook to allow me to load invoice data into a mutli-currency enabled org. I have dealt many times with multi-currency orgs and have never had any problems with them. However today that was not the case. I knew that to set the currency of a record to something other than the org default you need to set the CurrencyISOCode to the ISO Currency Code for the currency that you wish to use. Until this afternoon this was the limit of my knowledge on the subject, however that quickly changed when I found myself receiving the DMLException: INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST
The values in a normal picklist are case insensitive; that is, if the values available in the picklist are: A, B and C and I insert a the when I query the data I will find that the record has been inserted as A – brilliant, it's a consistent behaviour and better than that a lenient behaviour which helps to drive data consistency.

The Triumph Sprint ST is the best sports-touring motorcycle of its generation by some margin. It's smooth, long-legged, comfortable and handsome, with a effortless power to shrinks distances with delightful ease. What's more, the Triumph Sprint ST's more sporty bent means it handles better than any motorcycle in its class.
600cc, 90bhp, 141mph, Insurance group 12
After the (hugely popular) old Fazer 600 failed to meet new EU emissions laws in 2003, Yamaha came up with this new alternative and it slots perfectly into the modern market. The Yamaha FZ6 Fazer looks sharp, has a brilliant motor, excellent handling and offers huge versatility. Towns, twisties and long treks… it can do it all. A great all-rounder. ...
992cc, 102bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 15
The ignored Ducati family – the sports touring motorcycles – got a big boost with the arrival of the Ducati ST3 model in 2003. Its three valve per cylinder engine was new and unique in the Ducati range – previous sports touring Ducatis made do with other motorcycles' hand me downs. A refreshing, different sports touring motorcycle with decent reliability so far.
1170cc, 110bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 15
The R1200ST is BMW's Boxer-twin sports-tourer, now that the old R1100S has been supplanted by the newer, more sports-oriented R1200S. The problem is that the ST is on well-contested ground here – lining up against machines like Triumph's excellent Sprint ST and Honda's superb VFR800 VTEC, both of which are faster, sharper and cheaper.
1085cc, 98bhp, 141mph, Insurance group 13
The BMW R1100S is now starting to be regarded as something of a classic, especially in Boxer Cup form. Classy (and crucially un-ugly) styling, VFR-esque comfort and versatility plus BMW quality and residuals make for a stonking and attractive all-rounder, if not quite the sports bike BM intended…
1171cc, 130bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 15
The BMW K1200RS is almost an ultra-sports tourer but lacking a few bhp and a carrying too much weight. The K1200RS carved its own niche as a superb high-speed distance bike that could carry a pillion and luggage too without breaking a sweat. Radical Telelever front suspension's no longer novel but still works and build quality remains a strong point ...
1157cc, 165bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 16
Hyper-sports touring motorcycle. One of the latest BMWs and that means it's a seriously sorted motorcycle. The BMW K1200S has Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa rivalling power but comfort and practicality too. Some radical engineering and plenty of proven technology. The latest Japanese hyper motorcycles are edging again on power – but the BMW K1200S is never short of shove. Watch the BMW K1200S take ...
998cc, 113bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 15
The Aprilia RST1000 Futura is desperately underestimated, sadly short lived and now a potential bargain. Aprilia's ambitious rival for Honda's polished VFR sports-tourer is able, well-specced and potent. Quirky styling put off many, however, it sold poorly and depreciated massively. If you like the looks the Aprilia RST1000 Futura is a used bargain.

What's next in 2007? By most accounts, more of the same. The difference is that more U.S. investors will be participating. Emerging markets provide the greatest potential but also greatest risks, as evidenced by last week's dramatic drop in the Thailand stock market.
Many developed stock markets are predicted to exceed U.S. returns. For the cautious, U.S. companies that have strong overseas presence also present opportunities.
"As large-cap value investors in the world's developed markets, we are optimistic about investment prospects for Europe, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong in 2007," said Robert Lyon, portfolio manager of MainStay ICAP International Fund. "Even though the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan will be [raising] rates, the impact of increased corporate profits will far exceed that slight dampening effect."
Corporate restructuring, well under way in Europe and in its early stages in Japan, resembles the scenario of the U.S. in the 1980s and 1990s, Lyon said. In the meantime, the return on equity of many foreign firms has been rising dramatically.
His British holdings Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and InterContinental Hotels Group PLC are being discovered by private-equity investors. This enhances the potential for being acquired.
In addition, some of the lagging giant international firms whose stocks are selling at bargain prices, such as the German conglomerate Siemens AG, may be ready for a turnaround, analysts said.
France's Total SA, one of the world's largest oil companies, is a major holding in MainStay ICAP International because of its outstanding potential for production growth, especially on Africa's west coast. The firm has a solid history of share buybacks and dividend increases. Another significant holding is Switzerland's Novartis AG, an international drug company with an excellent product pipeline and few drugs coming off patent.
The stakes and volatility increase significantly when you venture out of the established markets. This requires fortitude on the part of the investor.
"India, Brazil and China will be the key emerging-market countries in 2007, with the fundamentals in all of them strong and their long-term stories truly compelling," said Brent Lynn, portfolio manager of Janus Overseas Fund. "However, since such markets are naturally more volatile, the most important criteria for any potential investor is having a multiyear time horizon."
His investment in China is primarily through Hong Kong-listed firms, such as his stock in China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd., one of the leading residential property developers in China.
He's focused on Brazil in his Latin American investments for 2007 because he expects it will benefit from sharp reductions in interest rates there. Brazil has a small mortgage market for the time being, but a housing boom could be ignited by those low rates. Iron and steel producer Companhia Vale do Rio Doce is a major Brazilian holding in the fund's portfolio.
In India, the demand for housing, roads, airports and ports is a driving force for the economy and investing there because so much improvement is needed, Lynn believes. For that reason, India's Tata Steel Ltd. is one of his large holdings.
But even with such positive signs, not all U.S. investors want to be explorers.
"With the U.S. dollar continuing to weaken against the euro in recent months, European zone investments have become more popular than our domestic investments," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist for Jefferies & Co. in New York. "The U.S. Federal Reserve will probably cut interest rates the first half of 2007, while the European central bank will probably raise rates."
Although Hogan sees excellent prospects in Europe for 2007, he is less enthusiastic about opportunities in Asia. The economies of China and Asia outside of Japan will continue grow, he said. But most of them, China in particular, are making a concerted effort to try to slow down to a reasonable level. No one's absolutely certain whether that's achievable or rampant growth is in the cards.
"There are safer ways to invest in the growth of China," Hogan said. "One way is through the stock of U.S. companies doing a lot of work in China."
His favorite domestic stocks with international exposure include Citigroup Inc., which is likely to be one of the first banks able to lend money to consumers in China, and Las Vegas Sands Corp., one of the first U.S. companies allowed to build casinos in China's Macau territory.
International investing isn't suitable for every U.S. investor. But in 2007, it can't be overlooked.

If pot sales legal in Wash., Ore., feds will have problem, experts warn
Successful legalization campaigns in three states, including Washington and Oregon, could drive down marijuana prices and make interstate exports a headache for the federal government, a panel of experts contends.
Tribune Washington bureau
WASHINGTON — Legalizing marijuana in even a single state could drive down prices dramatically across the country, encouraging more people to smoke the drug, a panel of experts said at a briefing Tuesday.
Last week, Oregon became the third state that will vote this November on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana, joining Colorado and Washington.
"Legalization is unprecedented — not even the Netherlands has done it — it is entirely possible it will happen this year," said Jonathan Caulkins, co-author of "Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know."
"The effects will be enormous," said Caulkins, a professor at Carnegie Mellon, during an event at the American Enterprise Institute.
The Obama administration opposes legalizing marijuana and has taken action to shut down some medical-marijuana dispensaries in California and Colorado.
Caulkins said one of the main reasons for outlawing the drug is to make it riskier to produce and sell, driving up prices and curbing use. A price collapse after legalization in some states could undermine marijuana laws nationally.
Caulkins said Colorado's proposition would allow residents to obtain a grower's license fairly easily, making the state a good home for exporters of marijuana.
"They would be able to provide marijuana to New York state markets at one quarter of the current price," he said, predicting similar price declines in other states.
Mark Kleiman, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, said his advice to federal officials would be "to sit down with the governor of the state and say, 'Look, we can make your life completely miserable — and we will — unless you figure out a way to avoid the exports."
One option would be to impose strict limits on how much of the drug retailers could sell to each customer.
Washington's proposal would present authorities with a different problem. The state is proposing to create a strong system of regulations with the aim of propping up prices. Caulkins said the federal government could strike down the regulations but would leave a free-for-all behind.
"The federal government will face some really difficult choices where actions are like double-edged swords," Caulkins said.

According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein, the Chicago Bulls have been attempting to get into the trade mix for Kevin Love. With this news, the Chicago Bulls become the third team interested in, joining the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Bulls are making a renewed push to trade for Kevin Love, but Cleveland remains firmly in the lead. (via @ESPNSteinLine & @WindhorstESPN)
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) July 22, 2014
According to this report, this says that Cleveland remains the favorite for Kevin Love's talents. This means that the Bulls are going to have to bring the house in order to acquire him. Earlier in the week, Chris Broussard of ESPN, said that Cleveland offered Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a first round pick for Kevin Love. This is going back awhile but supposedly the Warriors have been going back and forth on offering the Timberwolves, Klay Thompson, David Lee and Harrison Barnes for Kevin Love and Kevin Martin. If you are looking at these deals, it is going to take a huge amount of the Bulls core to acquire Kevin Love.
This is purely speculation but I believe that it would take Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Taj Gibson and a first round pick. As I said, that trade is purely speculation from my side of what I think it will take in order to acquire the talents of Kevin Love. If they Bulls did that people are going to be asking where he is going to play, and the answer would be probably most of his time at Small Forward. Kevin Love hasn't played there and is defensively inclined but can stand out and shoot threes. This would also give the Bulls a much bigger front court than they were already counting on and could give teams fits in the post season because of their size.
If my offer goes through, this could be the Bulls starting lineup coming into the 2014 season:
PG- Derrick Rose
SG-Tony Snell
SF- Kevin Love
C- Joakim Noah
The Bulls would be the one team in the league that I could see Kevin Love actually playing the small forward position. However, that defensive ability that he has showed so far is really scary. This would place him on the Carmelo Anthony's and LeBron James's of the NBA, which would likely mean a lot of help from Noah and Gasol defensively. Ultimately the Bulls might have to give up more, but this could work out for them.

 Let's face it — protecting your identity from thieves gets harder by the day.

 The moment you give your personal information to another entity — a bank, the DMV or even a medical provider — you give up control over that information and how it might be used.

 "Eventually, these organizations with which you entrust your personal information will be breached," said Denis G. Kelly, a Miami-based identity-theft prevention expert and author of "The Official Identity Theft Prevention Handbook" (Sterling & Ross, 2011).

 "Heck, even organizations that you don't authorize to have your personal information are breached, such as the credit reporting agencies" Kelly said.

 Short of hiding in a closet and using cash only for purchases, every person is at risk of identity theft. That's the sad reality.

 We can't control what happens when we willingly share our information with a company or with friends.

 But too often, we make the identity thieves' job a lot easier by being careless with our personal information, our financial information and our Internet use.

 There are several stupid things people do every day that make it easier for thieves to steal their identities. Here are a few.

 That nice-sounding lady calling from the bank says she needs your account number. That official-looking email message from the IRS says the agency needs your Social Security number — won't you please click on this link to do so?

 Don't believe them. Organizations dealing with personally identifiable information, especially financial information, rarely send emails or make unsolicited calls.

 Don't give your personal information, including credit-card numbers or Social Security numbers, to anyone calling you on the phone or sending unsolicited email messages.

 You have no way of knowing whether or not that caller is legitimate, or whether than email message came from the purported sender.

 If you feel you absolutely must respond, call the institution in question — and make sure you get its number from a phone book.

 [Phone Scammers Fleece Retiree Out of House and Home]

 The more personal details you post on a social media site, the easier you make it for a thief to steal your identity.

 Think about your Facebook profile, for instance. Do you list your full birth date and year, as well as your childhood hometown? What about your parents' full names?

 If so, you've just given a thief enough information to take over your identity without him having to break a sweat.

 [11 Facebook Privacy Steps to Take Now]

 If your wallet is stolen with your Social Security card in it, the thief won't just have your money, your driver's license and your credit cards — he'll also have your identity.

 Writing down the number on a piece of paper in your wallet is just as risky, as is storing the number on your cellphone. (Stolen cellphones, especially smartphones loaded up with social media and online banking apps, are bonanzas for identity thieves.)

 It's better to memorize your Social Security number, and to store the card in a locked safe or safe-deposit box.

 Similarly, check other ID cards — Medicare cards, for example — to make sure they don't include your Social Security number. If they do, toss those in the safe as well.

 [Asking for Identity Theft: The Risks of Social Security Number Overuse]

 "While it may be convenient to sip on a latte at Starbucks while reviewing your online bank account, public Wi-Fi is a feeding ground for identity thieves," Kelly said.

 Similarly dangerous are open Wi-Fi networks in parks, airports, shopping malls, museums and libraries.

 Protect yourself from Wi-Fi snoops by installing virtual private network (VPN) software, which will encrypt all Internet traffic on your laptop, smartphone or tablet.

 [How a Virtual Private Network Can Boost Your Security]

 Thieves are not above going through your trash hoping they'll find your full name and address, bank receipts, credit card statements or even canceled or voided checks.

 Do the smart thing: Tear up anything with your name on it, and use a shredder for any document with financial information.

 [How to Shred Documents and Stop Identity Theft]

 It's convenient to leave outgoing mail in your mailbox for the mail carrier to pick up. It's also convenient for identity thieves, who raid residential mailboxes looking for bill payments. After all, your personal checks are a jackpot of information.

 Do the smart thing — drop off the mail in an official mailbox or take it to a post office.

 [10 Tips for Staying Safe During Tax Season]

 Almost every store selling things online, from Amazon to your local stops, will offer to save your credit-card number so you won't have to type it in next time.

 "It is convenient, but also puts you in jeopardy if they are hacked," said Steven J.J. Weisman, a Boston-area lawyer and college professor at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass. "And they will be hacked."

 Don't be among the victims the next time a huge data breach happens. Decline the online retailers' offers, and type in your credit-card number every time.

China's EV market lags in global race – report

China's electric vehicle industry is moving more slowly compared with other major auto markets as sales significantly drop and market share remains small, according to a report by global management consultancy McKinsey & Company.We devour the debt and she looks just and onhow notices my home throbbing up and down like an happy revenge. viagra 25 mg dose In the sinensis, your changes almost add part to our lack.
During the second quarter, the country sold 235 EV's, a 31 percent plunge from the 343 units sold from January to March.

Back in April 2009, the Chinese government announced its target to make the country the leader in electric cars production.

Out of 48 million cars sold since January 2009 up to June 2012, only 7,834 were from China, representing just 0.02 percent of the overall sales volume.
By 2017, EV production in China is estimated to reach more than 270,000 units, but that is just one percent of the global production volume, said McKinsey.
"Despite initial challenges and setbacks...EV's will play a critical role in solving China's formidable energy security and pollution challenges," noted the consultant firm in another report that assessed the current status of EV's in China.
Under its 12th five-year plan, China aims for five million battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles by 2020.
"For China's electric vehicle industry to take off, each of the industry's key stakeholders – the government, manufacturers, suppliers, and infrastructure – should consider adopting a different strategy," suggested McKinsey. (C. Dominguez)

Countertop Installation reviews in Carrollton
I initially contacted this company after reading many great reviews from other Angies' List members who had work completed by CSide Granite. whether he could install the counters without damage to existing wallpaper which I was not ready to remove at this time. He assured me that the job could be done, gave me a very reasonable estimate based on preliminary measurements, and we set up an appointment for Monday to meet at his warehouse to pick out a color. There were many slabs to choose from and after picking out one that would complement my existing kitchen decor, and choosing a sink (included in the estimate price), I agreed to the installation, and we set up a time for them to come out and measure the actual sections of counter to be installed.
Once the measurements were completed with laser technology which guaranteed accuracy and fit, we set up a date for the installation.
I was very happy with

I really like the finished product, especially my huge kitchen island. The granite people worked very efficiently. They were reasonably accommodating when I had to reschedule the installation because I wanted to have the raised bar on my kitchen island cut off so I could have an one-level island. At one point, I thought the island was too big so was considering not to have overhang. The owner
Another thing I like is their price. I like the way they list the square foot price on their website. You can sort of estimate the cost yourself based on the information
If I have to complain about one thing, it would be that the back splash people did not come with right tools. I was told that they were going to saw off the old back splash along with the drywall behind, install new drywall, and then install the new back splash. But they came with only a flimsy hand saw. Because of that, they had to chip off old back splash and cut old dry wall manually. It took a long time for them to finish and made it messy and dusty. However, I do love it after everything was finished.

Fantastic! I own a lot of real estate and have worked with hundreds of contractors and JT is one of the best. He is very professional and also very personable. My wife is what you call "extremely selective" and she is absolutely thrilled with the results. First off, JT was very quick to provide a very detailed and complete quote with several options. And then he was very patient while we selected our slabs of granite. Then he was very helpful in finding just the right color of glass tile. I just can't say enough about the professional service that we received and how much we enjoyed watching the kitchen transformation and how thrilled we are with the result. You just don't find many people who are in the business for the right reasons like JT. The whole process was a pleasure and I recommend JT very highly to anyone doing a home remodel. BTW - He was the only bidder who included plumbing work in his quote - disposal, gas cooktop, faucets. It was nice to have a "turn-key" job completed. And on time!
J.R. was amazing. When he gave me an estimate it was a no frills, no hassle estimate. Everything was included,two kitchen sinks, several electrical cut outs, all seams, lots of that advertised Granite from $10.95 per square foot. By the time they charge you for sinks, cut outs, seams, edges, polishing and installation your price goes through the roof.
Purchased a remnant for a small countertop for a wet bar. After visiting many sources found the perfect piece at Princess and also found the most comfortable experience. The price was also the best and the granite itself is stunning. We had a slightly uneven wall, this was a brand new installation, not a replacement, and it is a perfect fit, even my super picky spouse was impressed at how perfect it was. they we prompt, professional, and we couldn't be more pleased.
First, the selection of granite at "standard " pricing was extensive. Salesperson was a geologist, very cordial, attentive, and professional. All work was done on schedule, as described, and with excellent craftsmanship. You would think this job was much more expensive than it was. I highly recommend this company and will use them for our future home purchase.
Professional and quality work. Responsive and very easy to work with. every thing went smoothly on time and we like new granite counter. Would recommend them to friends and family.
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.

North End Manhattan Beach
Our guests this morning are Chef and Owner of The Ripe Choice Catering Kitchen, Tammy Lipps and Chef Laura Mandracchia owner of Cake Bakeshop. Also joining us are Gretchen Tiernan and Megan Richardson of Sand Spa.
In addition to her husband, Mark Lipps, her local catering kitchen and The Ripe Choice-To-Go business are part of a family of three boys, one dog, three fish and a tortoise. They have one son out of college, one in college and one still in high school.
In 2011, Chef Laura Mandracchia became the owner of Cake Bakeshop. Laura comes from a long line of bakers as both her grandmother and great grandmother were bakers in Denmark. Laura's greatest culinary influence and hero is her Mormor (mother's mother in Danish). Whether they were making something as simple as coffee and pastry, going to the Farmers Market or the "olive oil guy" in Napa, food was always there. She taught Laura that sometimes you need "just a little bit - not too much " when adding that special ingredient. "Everything I bake has a touch of Mormor." It is quite easy to see that this is what Laura was meant to do.
All of these businesses are located in the North End area of Manhattan Beach. We're going to discuss their efforts in the continuing development of the North End business community.

The University of Minnesota women's hockey team held its Media Day Tuesday afternoon at Ridder Arena. Head coach Brad Frost was accompanied by team captains Megan Bozek and Bethany Brausen to answer questions from the local media. Below are a few questions highlighting the event along with the video posted above.
Opening Statement
COACH FROST: I can't believe the season is here already, but we are very excited and ready for that. We are getting going Friday night against Colgate, and I think it is the first time that we have played them; at least it is in the 12 years that I have been here. So we don't know a lot about them, but we are still excited to get them into our barn here on Friday and Saturday.
Our two captains are senior defender Megan Bozek and junior Bethany Brausen, and so we know that we have great leadership from these two but also our strong senior class. We lost a lot certainly last year with our senior class, who contributed a bunch for us and helped us win the national championship.
We add seven new players in six freshmen and a transfer. Coming into the season, we would expect them to contribute early for us. More importantly our returners, which we have 15 of those from last year's team, we hope they can elevate their game and help in the scoring area this year.
We are deep in all positions, which is exciting for us. At our goaltender position, Noora Raty returns for her senior year, and she is a two-time All-American. She is obviously a tremendous goalie and one of the best in the world, if not the best. We have a freshman in Amanda Leveille from the Ottawa area, who will get some time this year. She has shown some great things already here in the first week of practice.
At the defensemen positions, we are led my Megan [Bozek] and Mira Jalosuo, who is a senior as well. We have two new freshman defensemen in Milica McMillen and Lee Stecklein, who are both highly touted players. Megan [Bozek], who is 5-9 or 5-10 is probably our shortest defenseman this year, so we have some big kids back there who all can shoot and move the puck. So we are really excited about all six of our defensemen on the backend.
And then upfront, we are definitely led by junior Amanda Kessel, our leading scorer from last year and an All-American as well. We also expect big things from Bethany Brausen, Kelly Terry, Sarah Davis, Rachael Bona, Meghan Lorence and then some of our freshmen too.
We are just super excited about the year. It is just a great time of year, and it is a brand new team for us. We can't look at last year's team and think we are going to be identical to that because we are a completely different team. Having said that, we will have the same goals of winning the WCHA conference and tournament. Obviously, getting to the Frozen Four, which is being held here at Ridder Arena come March. It is a great opportunity for us to play in a great environment and play back here in front of our own fans.
Our league is tremendous again, as it always has been. There is a reason our league has won the last 13 national championships. Today it came out that we are favored and picked to finish first in the WCHA. North Dakota also received a vote for I believe the first time in their history, and Wisconsin received the other first-place vote and then us getting six. Wisconsin, North Dakota, Duluth and us should all be in the mix again for the conference title. As you all know, if you can win your conference tournament and/or the conference regular season championship, there is a good chance you will be contending in March, which is what we hope to be doing.
Again, we look forward to the year, and thanks for being here. We will now answer any questions you may have.
What does it give the team to have that trophy sitting there and have that experience to have made it all the way and won it? How does it change the aura surrounding the team and the program?
BETHANY BRAUSEN: I think Coach Frost has already emphasized. It has been really, really great and a great experience, especially with all the returners coming back. It is really cool to have that experience under your belt. However, the big focus this year is that that was last year and that it where it stays. It gives you something to strive for. Like you said, it also something that we need to know that it is not an indication of how this season will go. It will be just as hard, if not even harder now that we have that big 'X' on our back. Thought it was great to get the monkey off our back last year, I think it is very important, especially this year, that we come out and hopefully, do the same thing this season.
With having been on a coaching staff that has won a couple national titles and done it back-to-back as well, what is tougher winning a national championship, or trying to repeat the next year?
COACH FROST: It is going to be really difficult. I told our players, and both Megan and Bethany have done this, but when you have the 'M' on your chest, it is hard enough. There are so many players on other teams within the WCHA that would love nothing more than to kick the Gophers around a little bit. That may be because they didn't get recruited, or they did and we went with another. Whatever the reason, we are a team that has been near or at the top ever since our program started. So we have the 'M' on our chest and now the target on our back, and I think that is exciting. Wisconsin dealt with it, Duluth dealt with it, we dealt with it in 2004 and 2005, and it did bring out the best of every team. Our players are aware of that we will have to be at our best every game, and we will take it chip-by-chip and hopefully, end out on top. But it's difficult, and if people think it is easy...they are nuts. Again, we are going to focus on the process of the things that we do well because March is a long ways away. I know that is what everybody wants to talk about - repeating, back-to-back national championships, etc. - but that is so far out of our minds right now.
Does having a new group of players that are so highly skilled generate more competition in practice?
MEGAN BOZEK: Absolutely. The battle in practice is as if we were playing Wisconsin. We know that if we set a high standard for ourselves, then we won't expect anything less than everyone's best every day. So we have a healthy rivalry when we play games in practice, but it will make everyone better in the long run.
The University of Minnesota women's hockey team had an
eventful Saturday as they participated in two aspects of the Gopher football
game day experience with signing autographs before the game and receiving their
2012 National Championship rings during the game.
At 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, the 2012-13 team went into Block G and signed autographs for fans of all ages up until 15 minutes before kickoff. Following the 30-minute long autograph session, the Gophers entered the game to cheer on their fellow student-athletes.
At the end of the first quarter, the National Championship squad met near in the field in preparation for the ring ceremony. And during the first TV timeout of the second quarter, the squad walked out on the field and was presented their championship rings in front of a gold-out crowd of 44,921 Gopher faithful.
To top off the fun-filled day had by the Gophers, the team was able to cheer on the football team to a victory and a 3-0 start to the 2012 season.
Before the football game kicks off at 11 a.m., head coach Brad Frost and the 2012-13 team will be located in "Block G" signing autographs. They will be positioned right in front of Mariucci Arena from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Following their autograph session, the 2012 National Championship team will be honored during the first TV timeout of the second quarter. During this short intermission, the Gophers will be presented with their championship rings on the field.
Bozek, a native of Buffalo Grove, Ill., earned All-America and All-WCHA honors last season. She was Minnesota's top-scoring defenseman in the 2011-12 campaign, and ranks fourth on the Gophers' all-time top scorers list among defensemen. Bozek played with Team USA at the World Championships in April and helped the U.S. to a silver medal.
"I am very honored to be named a captain of the defending national championship team," said Bozek. "It is a great privilege to wear the M, and we have a lot of depth this year that will make us successful, on and off the ice."
Brausen hails from Little Canada, Minn., and was the 2010 Ms. Hockey award winner. She played in every game for the Gophers last season, scoring nine points. Brausen is a top performer when it comes to academics, earning WCHA Scholar Athlete and Academic All-WCHA honors last year.
"Being a team captain for the University of Minnesota is something far beyond what I could have wished for," explained Brausen. "What means the most to me is not the patch on my jersey, but to have been nominated by a team full of captains. Every member of this team is a leader, and no matter who wears the captain's patch, we all have a role in leading this team. I am so honored to have been put in this position with such an amazing team."
The defending national champions will start the 2012-13 season with a home series against Colgate Sept. 28-29 at Ridder Arena. The Gophers return 17 letterwinners from last year's squad, including three players who have earned All-America acclaim. Minnesota adds six freshmen and a sophomore transfer to its roster for the season.
Head coach Brad Frost returns for his 13th season with the Gopher women's hockey program, and sixth as the head coach. Assistant coaches Joel Johnson and Nadine Muzerall also return to the coaching staff.
The University of Minnesota's Ridder Arena will serve as the site of the 2013 WCHA Final Face-off and the NCAA Frozen Four, giving the Gophers the opportunity to defend their WCHA Tournament title and NCAA title on their home ice this season.
"We have a great group this year and everyone knows what is at stake," said Bozek. "There is a target on our backs, but we are willing to sacrifice and work hard to perform at our best all year. Everyone is very excited to get the season rolling in just a few weeks. It is a great time for our freshmen to put on the jersey for the first time, and for the the returners to come back with the drive to improve and defend our national title."
"I see this as being another great year, building off the momentum from last year and the national championship," said Brausen. "My hope is not that we not only remain as good as last season, but get better. It is a new season and we will treat it that way. The expectations will be to strive to be better players and people."
In Thursday's game, Gopher sophomore Rachel Ramsey opened up the scoring, notching a goal 8:46 into the first period. Ramsey earned a second point in the game, getting an assist on Jillian Dempsey's goal in the second period. Canada answered with a goal late in the second to being the score to 2-1, but the Americans scored twice in the third period to bring the final score to 4-1. The U.S. outshot Canada 30-17 in the game. Click here for the USA Hockey recap and here for the Hockey Canada recap.
On Friday, Gopher junior Kelly Terry got Canada on the board first, scoring 15:35 into the opening period. The U.S. answered before the period ended as Jocelyne Lamoreaux tallied a goal, assisted by Gopher senior Megan Bozek. Team USA would score two goals in the second period to Canada's one, bringing the score to 4-2 at the end of the second, which would prove to be the final score. Canada led in shots at 23-20 for the game. Click here for the USA Hockey recap and here for the Hockey Canada recap.
In Sunday's series finale, Canada led 1-0 at the end of the first period. Early in the second period, Gopher junior Sarah Davis gave Canada a 2-0 lead with a goal 6:56 into the period. The U.S. responded two minutes later with a Brianna Decker goal, assisted by Megan Bozek. Team USA scored two additional goals in the second to lead 3-2 going into the third period. Each team added one goal in the final period, bringing the score to 4-3. Again, the Canadians outshot the Americans with a 33-26 tally for the game. Click here for the USA Hockey recap and here for the Hockey Canada recap.
Playing for Canada will be Gopher juniors Kelly Terry and Sarah Davis, both forwards. Davis also represented Canada in the 2012 Meco Cup. Terry has participated in a Canadian Under-22 development camp, and was a member of the Canadian Under-18 team in 2010.
On the U.S. roster are Sarah Erickson, Hannah Brandt, Megan Bozek, Rachel Ramsey, Anne Schleper, and Lee Stecklein. The U.S. team is not a true Under-22 team, as several members are at or above age 22. The Gopher contingent includes two forwards (Erickson, Brandt) and four defensemen (Bozek, Ramsey, Schleper, Stecklein). Brandt and Stecklein will be joining the Gophers as freshmen this fall, while Ramsey will be a sophomore. Bozek will enter her senior season this fall. Erickson and Schleper graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2012.
All six Gophers who represent Team USA participated in the National Festival in Blaine, Minn., last week. The last time this series was held (2010), Bozek. Erickson and Schleper were all on the U.S. team. Stecklein played for the U.S. at the 2012 Under-18 World Championships, while Brandt played on the Four Nations Cup team last fall.
In addition to the six Gopher players representing the United States, former Minnesota head coach Laura Halldorson will serve as an assistant coach for the series.
Team USA and Team Canada will play at 8 p.m. (central) on both August 16 and 17, and will finish the series on August 19 with an 11 a.m. (central) game. Games will be held at the WinSport Canada Athletic & Ice Complex in Calgary.
Real-time updates from the games will be available on Twitter @usahockeyscores
The U22 series vs. Canada will be played for the fifth time, with the first series contested in 2006. The series was not played in 2011 or 2009. The U.S. is 2-7-3 all-time against Canada in this event.

Among the players with Gopher ties are four alumnae (Sarah Erickson, Gigi Marvin, Anne Schleper and Emily West), three Gophers who will be returning letterwinners this fall (Rachael Bona, Megan Bozek and Rachel Ramsey), and three incoming freshmen (Hannah Brandt, Milica McMillen and Lee Stecklein).
Attending the USA Hockey Women's National Festival are 21 of the 23 members of the U.S. Women's National Team that turned in a silver-medal performance at the 2012 International Ice Hockey Federation Women's World Championship in Burlington, Vermont. Gopher players who were on the 2012 World Championships team include Megan Bozek, Anne Schleper and Gigi Marvin.
The Festival will culminate with the selection of teams to represent the United States in a U18 series vs. Canada in Blaine and a U22 series vs. Canada in Calgary, Alberta. Both events will include three games between the two nations to be staged from Aug. 16-19.
In addition to the nine Gopher players on the roster, former Minnesota head coach Laura Halldorson and Gopher assistant coach Joel Johnson will each serve as an assistant coach for USA Hockey at the summer festival.

Schleper and Schoullis are among five players drafted by Boston this season. Also picked by the Blades were Hilary Knight (Wisconsin), Genevieve Lacasse (Providence), and Kelley Steadman (Mercyhurst).
The CWHL consists of five teams, of which four are located in Canada: Alberta (with games played in both Calgary and Edmonton), Toronto, Brampton, Montreal, and Boston.

Minnesota lost seven seniors to graduation after the 2011-12 campaign, including some prolific scorers as four of the seven scored over 100 points in their careers, while three (Emily West, Jen Schoullis and Sarah Erickson) passed the 150-point mark.
To replace the seven seniors who completed their eligibility, seven newcomers will join the Gopher squad this fall.
Three freshman forwards are joining the ranks in Hannah Brandt, Brook Garzone and Maryanne Menefee.
Brandt played her prep career at Hill-Murray High School, and earned just about every award Minnesota prep hockey has to offer, including the 2012 Ms. Hockey award. She led her team in scoring last season, averaging 3.57 points per game with 82 points on the season. In April, Brandt played with Team USA at the IIHF World Championships in Burlington, Vt., helping the Americans to a silver medal.
Garzone comes to the Gopher program from Shattuck-St. Mary's High School, where she helped her team reach the semifinals in the 2012 National Championships where they lost 2-1 in overtime to the eventual national champion. Garzone scored 60 points last season, averaging 1.13 per game.
Menefee played for the Little Caesar's Hockey Club in Michigan, and was a member of the U.S. Under-18 Team that earned a silver medal at the U18 World Championships in January.
Three newcomers will be added to the defensive corp in freshmen Lee Stecklein and Milica McMillen, while sophomore transfer Jordyn Burns returns to her home state after playing one season at Syracuse.
Stecklein comes to the Gophers after a prep career at Roseville High School, leading her team to second place at the Class AA State Tournament. She scored 34 points last season (1.31 ppg) and was her team's scoring leader among defensemen. Stecklein was named to the All-Metro teams by both the Star Tribune and Pioneer press, and was a finalist for the Ms. Hockey Award. She represented the U.S. at the Under-18 World Championships in January, helping Team USA to a silver medal.
McMillen played for the Breck School, where she led her team to the Class A State Championship. McMillen had the assist on the gamewinner in the championship game, and played every minute of the title game for Breck. She led her team in scoring with 55 points on the season, averaging 1.9 per game. McMillen played with Team USA at the 2011 Twelve Nations Invitational. A finalist for the Ms. Hockey Award, McMillen was named to the All-Metro teams by the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press.
Burns, who played prep hockey at Benilde-St. Margaret's High School, returns to Minnesota after spending her freshman season at Syracuse. As a freshman, Burns played in all 35 games, scoring two goals and eight assists. She is primarily a defenseman, but could also see ice time as a forward. Since she is transferring from a school outside the WCHA, Burns will not have to sit out a season, and will be able to play in 2012-13.
Amanda Leveille is the lone goalie joining the Gopher program this fall, meaning Minnesota will have three goalies available for the upcoming season. Leveille hails from Kingston, Ontario and played with the Ottawa Lady Senators. She held a goals against average of 1.71 last season, playing in 35 games.
