L.A.'s Hidden Japanese Small Plates Restaurant: Otafuku (Review) w/ Pics!
(Formatted with All Pictures here:
Like the Yakitori-ya, another facet of Japanese cuisine that still hasn't gained the popularity of Sushi in the U.S. would have to be the concept of Japanese Small Plates and the Izakaya, approximated as "Japanese Tapas" from time-to-time. Essentially the idea of the Izakaya is like a Japanese Pub, a place to relax and drink from a good selection of nice Sakes, Shochus, Beer and Wine (depending on the location). Unlike what we normally think of as "Pub Food" here in the States, the Japanese Izakaya's Small Dishes are usually some of THE best food to be had for Japanese cuisine: Down-to-earth, comfort food, and if made correctly, soul-warming and so tasty! While I love Sushi, my favorite type of Japanese cuisine would probably be the Small Dishes found at an Izakaya in Japan.
So it was with great interest and hope that I set out to try Otafuku (pronounced "Oh-Tah-Foo-Koo"), an oft-talked about restaurant on CH, but relatively unknown to many. Thanks to Pleasurepalate and Perceptor's great reviews, I finally got around to organizing an outing with my hardcore J Hounds to try out this Izakaya last Saturday evening.
True to the reports, Otafuku is truly hidden away on a non-descript portion of Western Avenue in Gardena. The front of the restaurant looks like it's totally boarded-up and closed(!), but thanks to CH, we headed around the building to the back for their true entrance, which has no signage!
Once inside, however, all was right: Otafuku's decor was down-to-earth, simple, and reflective of the simpler neighborhood Izakayas in Tokyo, versus the higher end places like Toki no Ma. We asked for some hot tea (complimentary) while perusing the menu, and the waitress brought out some Sobacha (Buckwheat Green Tea), which had a wonderful, light aroma pervading each sip! Definitely a nice start to the evening already. :)
Their menu was impressively extensive, with a nice selection and variety of Sashimi, Appetizers, Salads, Grilled Dishes, Yakitori, Tempura, etc., as well as a good selection of Japanese Sakes (a must for this type of restaurant. :) I'd recommend Karatamba (from Hyogo Prefecture), clean, dry and crisp; and of course, Kubota Manjyu.
We began with their Kurobuta Kushikatsu (Japanese Berkshire Black Hogs Cutlet (on skewers)), from their Deep Fried Dishes portion of the menu. Excellent, unctuous pieces of Berkshire Pork marinated and deep-fried on skewers, especially wonderful when dabbed in the Karashi (Japanese Mustard) on the side.
Next up was a classic dish in most Izakayas, the Surume Ika no Aburiyaki (Charbroiled Whole Squid). The Ika (Squid) was perfectly cooked, tender, and perfect with a tiny bit of the freshly-grated Ginger provided (or if you prefer a little more salt, Ginger and Soy Sauce).
The next item was their Gindara Misozuke Yaki (Broiled Black Cod with Sweet Soy Bean Paste). Consistent with their dishes so far, the Black Cod was beautifully cooked, perfect in execution with the fish remaining moist and tender, a chunk of buttery goodness. For flavor variation, pour a little Soy Sauce on the mound of freshly-grated Daikon provided with the dish, then try each bite of the Gindara (Black Cod) with some of that mixture.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the night was our next dish: Jyako Salada (Mixed Green Salad with Whitebait). Like the surprise at Palate earlier this week, Otafuku's Jyako Salada was another revelation to me in the world of Salads (which I normally stay away from). This Mixed Green Salad was probably *the* best Salad I've had in So Cal in the last year or so! The Mixed Greens, Radish Sprouts, thin-cut Cucumbers, Japanese parsley and especially the crunchy Whitebait Fish, combined with their housemade Salad dressing (a light, slightly sweet, tart and savory vinaigrette) made this the equivalent of Salad Nirvana! OK, well maybe not that extreme, but it made for a refreshing, crunchy, exciting Salad that was so good, the J Hounds insisted that we order it again, a *2nd* time, toward the end of the evening. Wonderful!
After this came our Gyusuji Negi Ponzu (Beef Tendon with Ponzu Sauce), a wonderfully light dish of Beef Tendon, stewed with Kelp, topped with Green Onions and served with Ponzu Sauce. It's a simple dish, but perfectly executed here, with the Beef Tendon being soft and tender, and paired nicely with a bit of the Negi and Ponzu. Excellent with some rice, or between shots of good Sake. :)
Continuing on was another item we wanted to test the kitchen on: Otafuku Tokusei Jidori Kara-age (Otafuku Homemade Fried Chicken). Otafuku uses an All-Natural, Hormone-Free Chicken with this dish, and they used just the right amount of spices, wisely leaving most of the sodium control on the side, with the sea-salt dish. It had a nice tenderness to the chicken, and it's well executed, but didn't exceed the best I've had. Still very recommended, though.
Continuing on, we ordered a variety of classic items from their Yakitori Menu, which are roasted meats (usually chicken) and vegetables on skewers (like a Kebab), over charcoals. This portion of the meal was very good, but after being spoiled by the greatness of Tomo-san at Yakitori Bincho, it's tough to enjoy other places. (^_~) Regardless, it was still enjoyable, and our first skewer set were Asupara Maki (mislabeled as only "Asparagus" on the menu). These are spears of Asparagus wrapped in Pork Belly and roasted to goodness. :) Cooked just right, and the combination of Pork Belly and Asparagus was excellent.
The Uzura (Quail Eggs) came next. I was sad that they didn't have the more extravagant Quail Eggs wrapped in Bacon, but oh well. :) They were cooked just fine and matched nicely with the classic Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese Red Chili Pepper Powder) or Sansho seasoning, depending on your preference.
Their Okura Maki (Okra wrapped in Pork Belly) was good as well, matching up nicely with Shin Sen Gumi's version.
Their Hatsu (Chicken Hearts) were competently roasted, but nothing outstanding.
Their Sasami Umejiso (Chicken Breast with Japanese Plum and Perilla) was excellent. The nice combination of Ume (Japanese Plum) and Shiso leaf was great, but it was a tad overcooked (it is Chicken Breast, but it was dried out compared to Chicken Breast preparations at Yakitori Bincho, and what I've had at Shin Sen Gumi Fountain Valley).
After the wave of Yakitori skewers, a house specialty arrived: Kurobuta Ro~su Yuzukosho Yaki (Charbroiled Berkshire Pork with Yuzu Pepper). The Berkshire Pork was nicely grilled just right, still maintaining a moist, tender interior, while achieving a nice light charring and flavorful exterior. It was topped with Yuzukosho, a Yuzu Citrus-infused Pepper Sauce. It was a bit too salty for my tastes, but when paired with some steaming Rice and/or Sake (or Beer), and it was just fine.
One item that Otafuku prides itself on is their homemade (by hand) Soba Noodles. I'd heard much about their process, and the J Hound group I enlisted tonight were all big Soba Otaku, so we were excited to try theirs out. First up was their Kikouchi (Soba Noodle made with 100% Buckwheat Flour). Each bite of the Soba was filled with a nice subtle, slightly nutty, grainy aroma and taste. It was definitely nice. However, being 100% Buckwheat Flour has its drawbacks, and it was the texture: It was just too chalky and chunky. Each bite tasted as if you were eating slightly uncooked pasta, and we all agreed that it was a nice idea and the aroma was standout, but the texture took away too much.
Next up was the classic Zaru Soba, a thinner Soba Noodle made up of a partial mixture of Buckwheat Flour. The color of their Zaru Soba was a lot more pale than what one would find from the pre-made, instant variety, but one bite and it was clear that this was some good Soba. It was light, simple, slightly fragrant from the Buckwheat Flour, and just a good Soba noodle texture.
Next was their Uni no Okizuke (simply labeled as "Sea Urchin"). This was probably the only major misstep of the night: We had thought it was fresh Uni, topped with some Wasabi, as the menu states. However, when it arrived it was strangely dark (not a good sign). We took a bite and it was *marinated* Uni, infused with possibly Mirin and something else, maybe Rice Vinegar, and the resultant taste and aroma were just too pungent for any of us to finish. Raw Uni has a very limited shelf-life, and letting it sit around and marinate really brings out the badness in Uni.
Luckily the next dish rebounded nicely: Ni Anago no Shiroyaki (White Grilled Sea Eel). Nicely cooked, grilled perfectly, with the Sea Eel still very tender and buttery good!
We ended with a Jikaseiji Tamago Purin (Homemade Custard Pudding). This was a home-made Custard Pudding that was as delicate as the finest Flan I've ever had. Wonderfully fluffy, light and airy, and not overly sweet (if you don't eat the Ice Cream on the side (^_~)). Amazingly delicious!
As a simple neighborhood Japanese Pub, Otafuku's service was to be expected: Decent, with you flagging down a waitress as needed. All-in-all, it was $60 per person (including Tax and Tip), but it can vary depending on how much you drink and if you eat more or less (we were stuffed and over-ordered but wanted to try out so many of the dishes :).
One note: Otafuku opens for Lunch, but they only serve Box Lunches, Bowls and their Soba Noodles. This has led to some confusion by people who visit Otafuku for lunch and think that that is all there is to the restaurant. The wonderful Small Dishes / Tapas-style Menu is only available for Dinner.
Otafuku is an excellent, high-quality Japanese Izakaya: A humble, neighborhood Japanese Pub serving amazing Small Plates ("Tapas"-like), with a great Sake and Shochu selection. The only "non-authentic" / disappointing aspect is that it closes early, especially on the weekends(!), which is really surprising. The concept of the local Izakaya in Japan is a place you can go to, like a Pub, sit down, grab drinks and very good eats, and stay out *late*. (^_~) While this isn't Japan it's still rather disappointing that so much goodness is limited to a mere 4.5 or 3.5 hour block, depending on the day. In that respect it falls short of the fun and convenience of other top So Cal Japanese Izakayas like Musha and Kappo Honda. Regardless, Otafuku is a wonderful Japanese Small Plates restaurant that's worth returning to again and again.

Thanks for another fantastic review. I always appreciate the thoroughness and amount of detail in your reviews.
I've actually been to Otafuku for lunch, but it's always been known as "the noodle place" amongst my lunch buddies. I had no idea they had extensive izakaya offerings as well! Will definitely have to check those out some time!
re: huaqiao
Thanks huagiao; much appreciated.
Definitely give their dinner menu a try; some excellent offerings!
re: exilekiss
Thanks so much! I knew their kitchen was up to par when I wasn't craving Soba and they did up the most AMAZING Katsu Don.
The Unagi Tempura as ns mentioned is also a sight to behold...
re: chowbee
The unagi tempura is fantastic.
Love the review, you're exciting me to go! BTW, I heard twice this past weekend, from 2 separate people at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen that "Tokyo is now the best food city in the world". (BTW, one of those people was David Myers) Do you have enough experience to agree or disagree?
re: la tache burger
Thanks la tache. :) If you like Japanese Izakaya-style food, definitely give it a try; it's one of the upper-echelon places in L.A. for this style of cuisine.
And even if you haven't been, you should try it once. :)
I don't think one can make a generalization that one city is "the best food city in the world," but a few things to note about Tokyo:
* It has the most Michelin Stars out of any city on the planet (including Paris).
"Tokyo is a shining star in the world of cuisine," Michelin Guides Director Jean-Luc Naret said at a press conference in the capital, after announcing the picks to gasps from hundreds of Japanese reporters gathered there. He declared Tokyo "the world leader in gourmet dining."
But keep in mind that's just one company's perspective (Michelin).
For myself, *every single meal* I had in Japan during my 2 week gourmet tour was at least "Good" up to "Amazing!" and this was at local mom&pop Soba shops, Ramen shops like Menya Kissou (I've posted my reviews of my visit on the Chowhound Japan board and on my Blog), all the way up to Michelin 3-Star restaurants. Let's leave the rest of this topic on the Off-Topic forum, but hope that helps. :)
re: exilekiss
Thanks, I'll check out the Japan reviews.
Their zaru soba is by far, by far, by FAR my favorite traditional soba in town.
Remember that kikuouchi is a sort of bizarre super-specialty. It's the only place I know of in all of Torrance, Gardena, and Little Tokyo to serve it, and it's... well, it's weird. It's hardcore. Making a noodle out of all buckwheat is like making a pie out of all wheat germ... you have to really, really, really LOVE the buckwheat experience. The texture is indeed, much grainier and chalkier, but I dig it... it reminds me of some bean desserts that freak other people out.
Question: did you think this was a bad version of pickled marinated uni, compared to other pickled unis you've had, or do you dislike pickled marinated uni in general? It's... definitely pungent, in that penetrating way that makes stuff like blue cheese and durian glorious to some and gagworthy to others. (If it tells you anything, the pickled uni I've had in the past is more pungent than a good stilton, but I enjoy it - it's not as completely out there as, say, natto.)
re: Thi N.
Hi Thi,
I was referring to pickled uni in general. :) I haven't found any that I've liked so far, but am always willing to try new versions of it.

Arriving back in the city where you have won a tournament is always a special feeling. I think Paris is the most special city for me, considering some of the experiences I have had here.
Even before I won the French Open, my first Grand Slam title, I had always achieved things first here: my first Grand Slam quarter-final, my first Grand Slam final, for example. And my match with Mauresmo when I was 17 – I will never forget it.
It's amazing to think that that was five years ago. Wow, doesn't time fly? We have to make the most of it.
Today it's the birthday of my friend Novak Djokovic, so I would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday, and good luck in the tournament.
Unfortunately I've been a little ill lately so haven't been able to prepare for this tournament the way I was hoping, but I'm sure I'll be 100 per cent for my first match, which looks like it will be on Tuesday.
I've had some good practice sessions since I arrived, and I especially enjoyed getting back onto Chatrier Court, which is one of my favourite courts in the world.
It's been a while since I wrote, and I've received many lovely messages of support in the last month or so, and I'd like to thank everyone who wrote to me.
Love Ana

Maybe, maybe not. This guys got no business starting a welding business if he has to ask questions like that.
Easy..Easy everyone
He asked a legit question. He may not know it all, thats why he asked. Thats what this site is all about. Heck - if I knew it all I probably wouldnt be posting this, instead I would be telling everyone how smart I am....
Never knew anyone that was a master of their trade the first day on the job....
Ehhhhh, Errrrrrrrr, Ahhhhhhhh.You say you weld a lot of 1". What have you been using for that? Perhaps that's what you need

ok settling the score
Ok Im not a welder ok I will be attending school for welding shortly and workng towards my aws certification as well as my state and local certs. I will be opening up a welding and fab shop with a guy that has been in this arena for 10 years. Im trying to gain knowledge thats why i asked questions. But i know more than likely i may have to weld something thicker than 1 inch, dont criticise me for being ignorant. If you dont know something the only way to find out is to ask right.

Welding Shop
Migman, don't be discouraged, I have had many questions in the past and a few in the present that show my ignorance to welding. I work in a aircraft overhaul shop with guys that weld everything from Magnesium, aluminum to stainless steel.
Believe me, this place is the right one for the questions. There are a lot of people out there willing to help, you were right, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Enjoy the new class. When I was in school, I took a small Ag welding class because I wanted to learn to weld, not the Industrial Tech route that was more directed to casting then welding.

migman69, I think you will be able to answer your own questions about what you need after you have been in school for a while. I know what you were trying to say in your original question. You need a good general purpose welder that can handle some fairly heavy stuff if needed. Is the shop going to do fab work with all new material or take in old rusty crud to patch? See, that's why it's hard to say you need "Welder model XYZ". Hang around this and some of the other welding forums (Miller has another one.... link is at the top of the page) and soak up some good info. Don't hesitate to ask questions. We all started somewhere and asking questions can sometimes save you a mistake or two along the way. BTW, welcome to the forum.Jim

Sorry, but the way you asked the question raised a flag. If your partner has all the experience let him make the equipment decision and learn from him . It sounded kinda like me going into the racecar business fulltime and asking the forum "how do I weld Chrome-moly? You know? Dave

well we will be doing fab from new metal and repair of rusted junk if needed. I have a great idea in my head, I hope i can eventually turn it into reality. Id love to own my own business one day or at least half of one. But my dad doesn't seem to think The business will last more than a month. I don't think he knows much about the industry. But he has owned his own business for 30 some years and is now retired. He said that with the way the economy is right now going into business for yourself is a recipe for disaster. I don't really think so because stuff needs to be welded no matter what. Any ideas on how to get up and running and any trade secrets to be succesful, any help is much appreciated.

The year of 2012 was certainly a memorable year for area sports. It included five state championships, heartbreaking finishes, a superhero emergence, the passing of area sports legends, the resurrection of programs, a rising star and a promising future for 2013.
Following is the list of the top 12 area sports stories of 2012 as compiled by CNA sports editor Scott Vicker and sports writer Larry Peterson.
• 1 — Record-breaking heartbreaker
The Murray football team entered the 2012 season with high hopes after finishing runner-up in Eight-Man during the 2011 season.
The Mustangs delivered, finishing with an undefeated regular season — the first in school history — while making their way back to the UNI Dome for the Eight-Man quarterfinals.
What ensued was one of, if not the craziest games in state playoff history, as the Mustangs fell to Gilbertville Don Bosco in a wild overtime game, 78-76.
The game was the highest-scoring game in Iowa High School Athletic Association playoff football history.
Senior quarterback Austin Halls' pass to Sam Rockhold on a 2-point conversion was knocked away at the last second, giving Don Bosco the win in a game that lasted more than three hours.
Murray ended the season 12-1, marking the second-straight season the Mustangs finished the season with 12 wins. Those are the only two such occurrences in school history.
Halls was rewarded for his stellar season by being named to the Des Moines Register all-state elite team as a defensive back, as well as being named first-team all-state as a defensive back by the Iowa Newspaper Association. The INA also named Halls captain of the Eight-Man all-state team.
Receiver Cody Scroggie also made the INA first-team all-state team for the second straight year, after amassing 48 receptions for 976 yards and 17 touchdowns despite missing three games.
• 2 — Panthers finish fourth; Marlin earns third championship
Then-junior Creston/Orient-Macksburg wrestler Jake Marlin cruised through the state wrestling tournament, winning his third state championship in as many tries, giving him an opportunity to add his name to the elite list of 21 athletes who have been four-time state champions.
Marlin scored two wins by fall at the state tournament, one by technical fall and a 10-2 major decision in the championship match at 138 pounds.
Senior Collin Bevins joined Marlin as a state champion, pinning his way through the heavyweight bracket.
Keaton Hulett finished off his junior campaign with a 3-2 loss in the 195-pound finals. Senior Juwan Parrish capped off his career with a fifth-place finish.
Corning senior Kory Schmelzer also finished his career with a fifth-place finish at 170 pounds in Class 1A.
The Panthers finished fourth in the Class 2A traditional tournament, after finishing fourth place in the state duals earlier in the weekend.
Creston/O-M also claimed its first Hawkeye 10 Conference tournament title since 1986 during the season.
• 3 — Wolverines narrowly miss finals trip, finish fourth
After ripping North Iowa 62-40 in the opening round of the Class 1A state tournament at Wells Fargo Arena, the Nodaway Valley Wolverines had top-ranked Danville on the ropes in the semifinals, before Danville outscored the Wolverines 19-6 in the final quarter to pull away for the win and a repeat trip to the finals.
Nodaway Valley tried to rebound from the loss in time for the consolation game, but fell to St. Mary's, Storm Lake 81-46 in the third-place game after falling behind early during a 19-0 St. Mary's first-quarter run.
The Wolverines finished the season 23-4 and graduated just three seniors from that team, while bringing back all five starters from the third-place game.
• 4 — The Thing
He signed a National Letter of Intent to play football on scholarship for Iowa State. He pinned his way to a state championship in wrestling. He won his Dream Team Classic match 12-9 over a state champion from Minnesota. He won the CHS Outstanding Male Athlete Award. He qualified for the state track meet in the shot put and the 200 meter dash. He helped the South to a 40-7 win in the Iowa Shrine Bowl. And he was named the Omaha World Herald's Western Iowa Male Athlete of the Year.
Creston's Collin Bevins certainly lived up to his Superhero Alliance nickname in 2012.
He did just about everything during the calendar year.
• 5 — Three state championships at girls state track
Corning senior Caitlyn Stroud defended her state championship in the Class 1A 100 meter dash and also won a state title in the 200 meter dash, despite battling back and foot injuries.
Meanwhile, Creston senior Audrey Bolinger pulled away from the field in the final 150 meters of the Class 3A 400 meter hurdles, bringing a state championship back to Creston.
Bolinger won in dominating fashion, finishing a full two seconds ahead of second place in the race.
It capped a successful season for Creston girls track, which saw the Bolinger break the 400 meter hurdles school record, and run on the school record breaking 4x800 relay team along with Taylor Hudson, Katlin Briley and Emily Wignall. The Panthers also sent 10 events to state track.
Both Bolinger and Stroud elected to continue their track and field careers in college. Bolinger chose Northwest Missouri State, while Stroud selected Simpson College.
• 6 — Whittington fifth at state, selected for North & South Junior Championship
As a sophomore, Creston/O-M's Carson Whittington finished fifth at the state golf tournament after leading the Panthers to one of its most successful seasons as a team.
With Whittington leading the charge, the Panthers went undefeated until an untimely off-day at the sectional meet.
But, Whittington placed well enough to advance to the state meet, where he finished in a respectable fifth place.
Then, Whittington was selected to compete in the North & South Junior Championship at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, where he competed against golfers from 15 different states, as well as Canada and Brazil.
Whittington earned his invitation after winning an AJGA tournament in Indiana during 2011.
Whittington finished the first round of the North & South Junior Championship tied for ninth after shooting a 1-under 71.
He finished the tournament in a tie for 44th, shooting 9-over for the tournament.
• 7 — Four football teams make playoffs
Along with Murray, Creston/Orient-Macksburg, Mount Ayr and Lenox all made the state football playoffs.
Mount Ayr finished the season 11-1 in one of the most successful seasons in school history, eventually losing out to Council Bluffs St. Albert in the quarterfinals.
The Panthers entered the final week of the regular season with just one loss and hopes of winning Class 3A District 1. But, a loss to Lewis Central in the first round dropped the Panthers all the way to the four-seed, sending them to a first-round matchup with Sioux City Bishop Heelan.
The Panthers gave Heelan a run for its money before a late scoring flurry propelled Heelan to a 47-20 win over Creston/O-M.
Lenox drew a tough matchup in the first round, losing to Exira/EHK to finish the season 6-4.
After the conclusion of the season, the Raiders and the Panthers were rewarded for their successful seasons as each put three players on their respective class's first-team all-state.
Luke Neitzel, Keaton Hulett and Trevor Frain each made it onto the INA Class 3A first-team all-state defense for the Panthers.
Jacob Sobotka and Braydee Poore made Class 1A first-team offense for the Raiders, while sophomore Joe Ricker was named to the first-team defense. Mount Ayr offensive linemen Mason Mercer (second team) and Levi Martin (third team) also made all-state.
Corning's Nick Spring made the Eight-Man third team as a punter.
• 8 — Two eras come to close
Creston softball and East Union volleyball suffered similar finishes, as two of the most successful dynasties barely missed out on trips to the state tournament.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Panther softball team walked off an opponent's home field in a regional final or semifinal loss — this time in a 2-1 loss to Indianola.
Creston seniors Madison Frain, Katlin Briley and Maddie Haines competed in three regional finals during their five years with the program. During those years, the Panthers finished with an overall record of 150-32 and four conference championships, comprising one of the most successful senior classes in school history.
Frain and Briley both made the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Class 4A first-team all-state, marking the fifth year the pair had been named to the all-state team at some level. The duo also shared the 2012 CHS Outstanding Female Athlete Award, and later played in the IGCA all-star softball series.
Briley is continuing her playing career at DMACC, while Frain is continuing her career at South Dakota.
After making back-to-back trips to the state volleyball tournament, East Union had hopes of making a third straight trip.
But, the Eagles gave up a 2-1 lead in sets as Grandview Park Baptist came from behind to knock off the Eagles and send a successful senior class home without another opportunity at the state tournament.
The senior class of Amber Friend, Rochelle Means, Shelby Smith and Dusti Carlisle went 121-24 over their four years with the program, for a winning percentage of .834.
Friend and Carlisle will continue their careers at Graceland, while Means has committed to Southwestern.
• 9 — Legends pass away
Early September marked the passing of two icons of southwest Iowa athletics — former Creston athletic director Curt Olson and retired Nodaway Valley football coach Bob Daut.
Daut, a Hall of Fame coach with 200 wins, was honored twice shortly before his passing, first with the inaugural "Battle for the Rock" between Mount Ayr and Nodaway Valley, and then with the Wolverines playing the inaugural Bob Daut Kickoff Classic.
Olson, meanwhile, suffered a stroke and passed away shortly before being inducted into the Creston High School Hall of Fame. At the time, Olson was coaching on the eighth-grade football staff.
He was honored during Creston/O-M's homecoming football game, as Panther paws with his nickname "Oly" painted onto the field.
• 10 — Southwestern softball makes regional final
Southwestern Community College softball, under the direction of head coach Lindsay Stumpff, finished with one of its best seasons in school history.
The Spartans became just the third SWCC team to reach a regional final, finishing the season 43-21.
Southwestern fell 5-1 to DMACC in the regional final to finish its season. The Spartans entered the Region XI Tournament as the four-seed, but went undefeated until losing two games in a row to the Bears.
The 43 wins by the Spartan team set a new school record for victories. Leah Kipfer, London Miller and Danyielle Barger all surpassed the previous single-season school record for hits.
• 11 — Three unbeatens entering 2012 holiday break
Nodaway Valley, ranked first in Class 2A, Creston, ranked third in Class 3A, and Murray, ranked fifth in Class 1A, all enter the 2012 holiday break undefeated.
The ranking for Creston marks the highest the Panthers have been rated since the 2005-06 season, when the team finished fourth at the state tournament.
The Panthers also snapped a 25-game losing streak to Harlan during the eight-game winning streak to open the season.
Nodaway Valley has cruised through the early portion of its schedule, while Murray has survived a close game against Lamoni.
• 12 — Panther boys put together best season under Schlapia
The Creston boys track team, though small in numbers, had plenty of quality in those numbers, as it put together the best season of head coach Pat Schlapia's career.
The Panthers finished second at the Hawkeye 10 Conference meet, edging out Harlan 105-103 thanks to a fourth-place finish by the 4x400 relay team. It was the best team finish for the boys at the conference meet in Schlapia's 22 years as coach.
Sophomore Brandon Phipps also became just the second athlete in Creston's history to qualify for the Drake Relays in the 3,200 meter run. He followed that up by placing fifth in the event at state and seventh in the 1,600.
Freshman Jay Wolfe finished second in the Class 3A 800 meter run, coming out of the slow heat and setting a new school record in the process.
The Panthers sent eight events to the state meet, including the 4x800 relay team of Wolfe, Luke Powell, Bryce Briley and Travis Miller giving the Panthers their first representatives in that event since 1981.

Greatest political ad ive ever seen.You're probably already sick of political ads by now, what with the presidential election less than six weeks away, but a group of Barack Obama supporters are banking on the fact a new unorthodox spot they're releasing — starring Samuel L. Jackson and jarringly titled "Wake the F*** Up" — will get your attention.
(Check out an exclusive preview of the video, only on Yahoo!, above. And, yes, we are aware that this is a partisan video. When a clever pro-Romney video surfaces next, we promise to feature it on Yahoo! as well.)
The three-minute, 30-second ad, sponsored by the Jewish Council for Education and Research, is a play on the reading Jackson did last year of the satirical "children's book" Go the F*** to Sleep, which quickly went viral.
And for the record: I dont care that its for Obama, i will always endorse Samuel Jackson interrupting grandparent sex to call them motherf... and convincing children to yell the f word out a window. Every single time.

LR 4 Newbie
September 02, 2012, 09:10:08 PM »
I am purchasing LR 4 & PS CS6 (Mac).
Never used LR before.
I have used Bridge (& earlier PS) for a long time.
Where do I start....
I usually d/l files (RAW) from camera with EOS Utility to a dated folder and then start sorting in Bridge & opening in ACR. Saving to Tifs in a sub-folder
Appreciate a Quick Start lesson (recommendation to a link?) to make the transition.

...I should have added...
that my main concern is what to do with all my existing images in terms of integrating them into LR, as opposed to new images after installation.
I have not previously keyworded them. Just filed them in folders that are meaningful to me - names of places, people etc

Like you, I used PS/Bridge for a long time, but then I came to the dark side: Lightroom, and I don't regret it at all. I still use PS (CS6 these days) for some work that requires layers. For example, portrait retouching is much easier in PS. However, it is not my primary tool to import, process, and print photographs.
Like you, I had placed my files in semi-meaningful directories. I must say that I didn't do an explicit conversion to TIFF, but kept them as RAW files until I had need to use them in some other application, e.g. InDesign, or process/print them with PS. Also, I was terrible about keywording. Translate that to "Keywords? Too much trouble."
When I started using LR, I realized that my "sort by directory hierarchy" wasn't nearly as transparent or useful as I thought. Further, I decided to move my photographs to another drive with better data redundancy.
I ended up creating a new LR root directory on the new drive, then I used LR's import, selecting "COPY" to suck in the files that I wanted from their original storage location to my LR catalog and LR directories. I also let LR use the default (I think) directory structure of <base>/<year>/<year-month-day> format. With LR's cataloging I find that I don't use even miss having separate, specially named directories.
The only fallout from that is that I noticed that I had some very old shots taken with a camera where the date/time was incorrectly set. Amazingly enough, I find I have some photographs that I will apparently be taking in 2099.
As I selected the photographs to import, I did some minimal import keywording. In effect, the keywording was nearly the same as the failed directory structure that I had earlier used. As time permits, I have gone back and added additional, more specific keywords to photos, but I found that even with the minimal work that I did on import that I am able to find a shot using LR's filters faster than my previous "let's find the directory" approach.
The reason I used "copy" instead of "move" was because I'm a coward. I wanted to make sure that all photographs were correctly stored on the new drive before I erased them off the old drive.
This was the approach I used. However, there will now follow several posts telling you that I'm a complete idiot. (grin). There are those that advocate for multiple catalogs...Michael Reichman, I believe, among them. There are some who still store their files in a named directory hierachy. Finally, there are some who have import directories, then move files to other directories as appropriate. In fact, there are probably more ways of using LR than there are of photographing landscapes.
I am explaining what I did and that I find it sufficient for my needs.
By the way, I see no reason to do a conversion to TIFF or PSD when using LR. I keep my RAWs...and there's another variation with some folks converting to DNG on import...and use LR to develop/print them. If necessary, I'll export as TIFF if I'm going to do some work in PS or some plug in such as Silver Effects Pro. That export can be handled seemlessly with LR.

You don't need to do an export as TIFF if you are going straight to PS from LR. As long as your PS and LR programs are current with updates, this is seamless and all your LR changes go with the file. At the end of PS editing, you do save as a TIFF and that file is returned and seen by LR in the same location in your LR library.

Happy labour day!
At the risk of sounding like a salesman for this site, I strongly recommend purchasing the Luminous Landscape LR4 video tutorial and spending some quality time with them. That will get you up and running in LR very quickly. I completely moved my photographic workflow and file management to LR; Bridge continues to be my main tool to manage my design and publication files as they include everything from Word, InDesign, Illustrator... But for images LR is booth powerful and 'darkroom guy' friendly.

No doubt there is a learning curve and a video may well have to be in my future.
But I first want to get my feet a little wet and then I'll be better positioned to ask the right questions and learn from a video.
My initial confusion is what do do with my current files/folder structure which I now browse in bridge [& either open in ACR (cr2's) or PS (tifs/psd's)]
And how to integrate (or not) them with LR.
I am unsure of "Catalogues" and "Library"
I do a lot of work on the photos in PS and have no doubt that'll remain

I believe that the first hurdle is to really understand the difference between the Catalog and the Folders and to fully understand what is happening during import.
To me, the thing to recognize is that the images, in their folders, can be where-ever you want them. They do not exist in the Catalog. That being said, I do keep my images folder inside the same folder as the Catalog. it seemed to make sense to do it that way and I've seen no reason to change.

I strongly recommend not to start by yourself, but first take a look at the videos provided by Michael and Jeff.
If you start working with lightroom in the wrong wasy, it will be much more difficult to correct the way. And becasue Lr is great and intuitive, but completely different from most other applications, you yould give Lr and yourself a chance to staart from the right position.

I completely agree. I speak from experience, having tried to use LR 1.0 out of the box with no instruction. I couldn't imagine why people were enthusiastic about it. The LuLa videos and the threads on this forum have helped me make sense of it.
I have very gradually adapted my workflow to the more efficient LightRoom one, and I couldn't have done it without Michael and Jeff's videos. They are a great bargain, excellent tutorials, and very entertaining as well.

Apart from the Lr video tutorials I also STRONGLY recommend the tutorial 'Where #$@! are my pictures' since this will help immensely in understanding digital asset management in Lr.

We are the LuLa borg, you will assimilated to our LR ways.
If you are generally able to self teach and be successful with software, you can get through using LR acceptably on your own without the videos. I did with LR3 for a year. When the LuLa LR4 videos came out I picked them up and learned quite a few tricks and techniques that have come in handy. I certainly became far more efficient in my usage in the short time spent watching the videos than I had in the previous year. My learning would have been accelerated had I watched the LuLa LR3 videos, but I enjoyed learning through experimentation. If you need to get up to speed in a hurry, the videos are the way to go. If this is a hobby and you enjoy tinkering, then do what makes you happy.

Thanks guys. No doubt the videos are great. I'm not arguing the point. But I was asking about very elementary things which I found the answers to online e.g. Julienne Kost's adobe videos - such as that you can either import from card/camera with LR or you can drag or copy/pate the files to your HD, or use eos utilty to import to HD, and then go to LR & tell it where they are. This answered my question about what to do with my exisiting images on my HD that are in folders that mean something to me.

I just bought the introductory series of videos. I'm off......
Video 1 contains 'Introduction to Library'.
There is no mention of
"... multiple catalogs..."
in this video as suggested in an earlier post that MR is one of many who advocate this ?

It may have been in the Camera to Print & Screen videos that MR said he used multiple catalogs and JS talked about using only one...with 4,785,395.5 images as I recall. However, since I'm old, don't trust my memory on the exact number.

I do a lot of work on the photos in PS and have no doubt that'll remain
Hi Frank,
At a basic level, a catalog is a database that contains references to media files (images, videos) and meta-data about those files. When thinking about how the catalog can be used during import, there are two basic scenarios:
1) Referencing existing files where you are happy with their location
2) Importing new files after a shoot.
In the first scenario, because you are happy with the current on-disk locations, you are going to have LR import by simply adding the files to the catalog without moving or copying them. This means you get the benefits of the catalog while maintaining the familiarity with the files on-disk locations.
In the second scenario, you want LR to copy the files from the flash card to another location. LR can automatically create a folder hierarchy using one of three organization techniques (by original folder, by date, and into one folder). With the by date schema, there are about a dozen date formats you can choose from for the folder naming convention.
Just to point it out, you could have LR move all your existing files around to match with a particular by-date convention if you want to. But, the key thing is that you are not compelled to do so.
Catalog and library are synonyms.
Final Thoughts: Start off using a single catalog. There are few use cases where multiple catalogs are beneficial. For any user not truly needing multiple catalogs, having to deal with multiple catalogs will merely be a nuisance and hinder productivity.

Could not agree more!
Learn how to use collections and especially smart collections to further organize your images from within Lr. Once you get the collections thing you will be away - so simple, so brilliant. The library module in Lr is worth the purchase price alone.

Thanks for clarifying the two different import scenarios (existing and/or new files) and for the tips.
And the third scenario of changing my existing folder/file structure (naming) to match the new by date convention (which is probably a good idea but a bit complex to start off with). That way everything is the same.
Reading that single little line "Catalog and library are synonyms." was so helpful :-)
I will stick to 1 catalog for now and I assume that one should follow the prompt to back it up (at any location of choice ) even if I'm already using Time Machine to make incremental backups.

Garage-rock stalwarts the Greenhornes have added a string of dates to their spring tour to coincide with another new release, which will follow their ★ ★ ★ ★ LP, issued in November.
The band shares the new dates and new release with local rock two-piece JEFF the Brotherhood: They'll issue new tunes together on a split 7-inch vinyl release via JEFF members Jake and Jamin Orrall's label, Infinity Cat. The split will be limited to 666 hand-numbered copies, and fans can only snag them at shows.
The bands' co-jaunt kicks off in Houston on May 5, wrapping in Oxford, Miss. on May 26. The Greenhornes tour will bring bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler home to Nashville, but Hacienda and local punk act PUJOL will open that show, set for April 16 at the Mercy Lounge. (Tickets for the 18-and-up Mercy Lounge show run $12 in advance and $14 on the day of show, and are on sale via Ticketweb.com.)
Get a live Greenhornes taste above, from a performance on FUEL TV's The Daily Habit. (On keys there is another Nashvillian: Mark Watrous, who's also played with Keeler and Lawrence's band the Raconteurs and Raconteurs singer/guitarist Brendan Benson, among others.)
Read the full list of announced Greenhornes tourdates after the jump.

Government Corner History
When Marion County was being settled back in the early 1800's, it was clear that some system of survey monumentation was needed to mark the limits of land ownership. In 1851 "Instructions to the Surveyor General of Oregon; Being a Manual for Field Operations" was printed.
This manual was used as the basis of all the survey work and land divisions within Marion County.
The main part of the "Public Land" surveying was done within the county in the 1850's and 1860's and this same system is used today.
"Topographic" information on townsites, homes, farm fields, trails, roads, rivers, creeks, and, timber land was mapped along with the "Donation Land Claim" boundaries. "Township Boundaries" and the subdivision of Townships into sections, 1/4 sections, and lots were also done at the same time. Waterways also are shown with meander lines.All this work was done with "State of the Art" survey tools of the time and we often need to walk the same path that they did, even though we can survey with satellites today.
Restored Section Corner RecordRestored 1/4 Corner RecordRestored Donation Land Claim Record Request for Government Corner RestorationRequest to Protect Monument
WHY THIS PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AS A LAND OWNER (or Renter)?
Donation Land Corner: This is a corner that marks the boundary of lands that people had settled (and claimed) during the 1800's.
Township Corner: The corner of a 6 mile by 6 mile square area. Section Corner: The corner of a 1 mile by 1 mile square area. There are 36 sections in a township.
1/4 Corner: The corner ½ way between 2 section corners (or a township corner and section corner).
Meander Corner: This type of corner can be found along rivers and lakes.
Angle Point: This is the point of change in direction along any surveyed line.
Other Types of Corners: Several other types of corners are found in the old survey system.
The first survey monuments (for the most part) were wood stakes and witness/bearing trees (some of which can still be found). Over time, some corners have been updated with stones, iron rods, axles, iron pipes, bottles, posts, buggy parts, etc.
Today we are still updating corners with new monuments. We also set 4 reference points to each government corner, usually 5/8" X 30" iron rods with the top down 24" below ground level; these may also fall on your property.
The Marion County Surveyor's Office will notify property owners of restoration work scheduled in their areas. A door hanger with the following information will be left indicating the type of work to be done.
ORS 209.015 Authority to enter upon land; no unnecessary damage; notice. (1) Subject to subsection (3) of this section, the county surveyor, and employees and agents of the county surveyor, may enter upon any land for the purpose of surveying or performing any work necessary to carry out existing laws and may establish permanent survey monuments.
(2) Any person exercising the right of entry granted under subsection (1) of this section shall do so with no unnecessary damage to the land entered upon.
(3) A county surveyor or any employee or agent of the county surveyor shall not enter upon or establish any permanent survey monument upon any property without first providing notice to the landowner or landowners and the occupant of the property.

Ineos Styrenics to close EPS plant at Marl by end of the year
9:28 AM MDT | June 10, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
Ineos Styrenics intends to close production of expandable polystyrene (EPS) at its Marl, Germany, site at the end of the fourth quarter of this year, the company announced today.

Regular elbow and T fittings are great for your 90% angles, but 3 way, 4 way and 5 way fittings work wonders for peaks, corners and multi-level structures.
This fitting is designed to fit OVER 1/2" PVC pipe. The physical dimensions of the hole in the slip fitting accommodates the full outer diameter of the PVC pipe. Thus, when buying fittings, buy 1/2" fittings for 1/2" PVC.
Also check out our Adjustable Ell fittings, (2-way, 3-way, and 4-way) that you can set to any angle you want just by loosening and tightening a screw.
Let your imagination run wild!
The Slip-T fitting is shaped like a regular Tee, but the pipe can slip all the way through the 2 adjoining outlets, allowing the pipe to go into the T one way and out the other. Then the third outlet just snaps into place. Use this Slip T for making hinges or to add support to a structure without having to cut the pipe.

News that the U.S. Department of Justice secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors working for the Associated Press has triggered a storm of protest from news organizations and civil libertarians and placed another potential scandal at the door of a White House already on the defensive over allegations of a cover-up in the Benghazi investigation and the IRS targeting conservative groups for added scrutiny and tax audits.
In what its top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" by the government into news gathering activities, the AP reported Monday that records were seized of calls from both office and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, and from general AP office numbers in New York, Washington, D.C., and Hartford, Connecticut, in addition to the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery. Records for more than 20 different phone lines assigned to the AP and its journalists were seized for the months of April and May, 2012, according to AP lawyers. More than 100 journalists work in the offices where the phone lines were targeted, the news agency said.
Ronald Machen, the U.S. attorney in Washington, sent notice of the action in a letter the AP received on Friday. The records were obtained through Justice Department subpoenas, though it is not known whether a judge or grand jury authorized the subpoenas, the AP said.
William Miller, a spokesman for Machen, told the New York Times that in general the U.S. attorney follows "all applicable laws, federal regulations and Department of Justice policies when issuing subpoenas for phone records of media organizations." He would not address questions about the seizure of the AP records, however. "We do not comment on ongoing criminal investigations," Miller said in an e-mail to the Times.
Machen's letter did not say why the records were taken, but government officials have previously said in public that the U.S. attorney in Washington is conducting a criminal investigation into who may have provided information for a May 7, 2012, AP story about what was believed to be a foiled terror plot. The story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that supposedly stopped an al-Qaeda plot to detonate a bomb on an airplane bound for the United States. Five reporters and an editor who worked on that story were among those whose phone records wee seized, the AP said.

Men's Cross Country Takes First at Campbell Early Bird Classic
Saturday, August 30, 2003BUIES CREEK, N.C. (August 30, 2003) - The East Tennessee State University men's and women's cross country teams began the 2003 season at the Campbell Early Bird Classic hosted by Campbell University on Saturday. ETSU won the men's field in the 5K race, placing five runners in the top-ten spots. Junior Bradley Yewer (Newbury, England) finished first for the Buccaneers with a time of 15:46.55 and took second place overall. Sophomore Peter Dalton (Dublin, Ireland) had one of his best overall starts and finished second on the team with a time of 15:51.64 and third overall. "This is a good solid start for the squad this year," commented head coach David E. Walker. "We have good depth and my expectation is for us to continue to improve." In the women's 4K race ETSU took third place. Senior Emily Chaney (Maryville, Tenn.) finished first with a time of 15:31.15 and an overall fourth-place finish. Teammates Katie Marshall (Metuchen, N.J.) and Christine Ward (Candler, N.C.) also ran well and placed 14th and 16th, respectively. "I was very impressed by our team and the solid outing at today's meet," said assistant coach Michelle Byrne. "Emily had a solid race today and will only improve as the season progresses. Christine showed a lot of improvement and that she is willing to put in the required work and step up on the team." The Buccaneer cross country team will travel to Davidson, N.C. to compete in the Pre-Conference Invitational on September 13.
