This place is SOO amazing! I've never been to any shop that treats me this good in my life. I didn't know I needed an appointment so I just walked in with my mom and sister. The girl at the front greeted me and I told her what we were looking for and she asked me to fill out a registration. Once I finished, my consultant Amy came up and greeted us. Super Nice! She took us on a tour and then we went in the back to have a consultation. I felt like I was on Say Yes to the Dress!! She asked me some questions about my wedding and what I was looking for. This was my first place trying on dresses so I was unsure and I told her I was just starting my search. Even though she knew I wasn't buying she was still so eager to help. She expressed to me that she was one of the most honest consultants I would meet, and it's true because brides are always so concerned with getting a salesman who is just trying to get a commission! Anyway, she pulled some styles based off what I was looking for and gave me a great experience through everything. Amy made me feel so comfortable since it can be a little awkward getting dressed with someone you've never met before, but she was totally cool with it! Like I was shopping with one of my best friends! There were so many beautiful gowns that it can be overwhelming but Amy really helped me narrow down a style I was looking for, which she said would help me in my search. I'm so happy she gave me a great experience even though I wasn't buying from her that day. I felt no pressure at all, which is comforting. One of the best parts about it was even after we left! She sent me a card right away thanking me for coming in for letting her help me. It's definitely a great gesture when you're trying to figure out which store to buy an expensive dress from! My wedding isn't until January of 2013 so I'm not ready to buy but when I am, I will go to Patricia South's for sure! Amy told me they can order anything and match or possibly even beat the price, which is great! I would love to be a Patricia South Bride!! Thank you for giving me and my mom a great bridal shopping experience! I ABSOLUTELY recommend Patricia South! And if you can, work with Amy, she's the best!!

I am in total shock that anyone would give Patricia South's less than five stars! This was the absolute BEST experience I had while searching for my perfect dress... first off, the wedding center was above and beyond what I expected a bridal shop to be... they carry EVERYTHING you could possibly need I'm so glad I got a tour because I had no idea they had such a huge selection... and it is really well laid out so that it is not overwhelming - there are departments within the store for each style dress. (my younger sister even went back to get her prom dress there!) My consultant, April (also a very talented make-up artist), was so helpful and she listened to everything I said I wanted... she showed me mainly dresses that I described I was looking for and even threw in a few other styles so I could just be sure that was what I wanted. I seriously went nuts there... April helped me put together my entire wedding... she went above and beyond anything I ever imagined. Patricia has her own line of designer dresses that are absolutely gorgeous and that was what I ended up with. The price was totally right and there were things I had never seen in other stores or even magazines. I will absolutely tell all my girlfriends to come here when they start their wedding planning... A+
I have to say that I don't know what all the bad reviews are about; Patricia South is the place to get your perfect wedding dress or prom dress. The moment you walk into the store you feel like you are at home. The charming building and comfy chairs make it an accessible place for everyone in your family to share this special moment with you. The staff is so sweet and accommodating. Patricia is a delight to work with. She will make your wedding dress dreams come true. I have three sisters and we all got our wedding dresses from Patricia South. We even got our mother of the brides dress and all of the bridesmaid's dresses. They will make sure your dress arrives on time for your wedding. They even have a seamstress to fix your dress! Their prices are affordable and the quality of the dresses is amazing! I have been to David's Bridal and Alfred Angelo's, and not have been impressed at all. You are just a number in those places. Patricia South gives you one-on-one personal attention with your own bridal consultant.
I recently ordered my dress from Patricia Souths. From start to finish, my day there was amazing. I truly could not have asked for a better experience.! Erin helped me and she was phenomenal!!! She ended up picking out the dress I fell in love with - she took everything I said into consideration and even cried with me when I found the one (real tears too :). My mom was so so happy and she is not the easiest to please. They had a photographer there taking pictures who was more than happy to promptly email me the proofs. All my questions and my moms questions were answered very honestly and appropriately. By the time I left, I was on cloud 9. I would recommend Patricia Souths to ANYONE! My sister will be going to prom next year and we plan on going back for her prom dress. Overall - an excellent dress shop and the biggest thanks in the world to Erin!
Let me start by saying that Zola herself is a gem. She was such an incredible help in finding, altering & accessorizing my wedding dress. The gals on her staff are all super helpful & knowledgeable and Zola's seamstress is top of the line. They gave me incredible attention and service from the first day I arrived in the store up until my final alteration when they shipped my dress up to Charleston for our destination wedding. My wedding day went off without a hitch and I have received a thousand compliments about my dress. Thank you to Zola & her staff for making my day and my dress SO perfect. - Tina Hofer Medico
I truly don't have words for how amazing my appointment was. I brought my mom, my aunt, my sister, and my niece. Lisa, made us coffee and chatted with us about my ideas! She super enthusiastic and excited the whole appointment! I loved her positive vibe. She let me try on tons of dresses until I found the dress that filled my eyes with tears and gave everyone goosebumps! Their selection is enormous. Lisa is the most patient and wonderful consultant and we truly had so much fun! Look no more I highly recommend this place!
Bridal stores are not the same. Let me start by saying The White Dress Bridal is the best wedding dress boutique I have been to. After shopping other boutiques I did not feel as welcome, and inviting as I did with Mary. She made every moment so special. I could not be happier! She had a huge selection of dresses, and we found the perfect dress. Thank you White Dress Bridal!!
Went in to the store to rent a tuxedo for a friend's wedding and the service was first class. The suit was in great condition, the staff polite and friendly and the price was reasonable.Overall, a great experience.
visted the store a couple years ago to buy my prom dress that i absolutely fell in love with.Their prices are not so pleasant but the designs are beautiful. I plan to shop here for my wedding gown in the future.
Chana and her daughter are the BEST Bat-Mitzvah, Bar-Mitzvah suppliers ever! Our customized Kippahs came along impressively. Thank you so much for all your help. Looking forward to see you soon! Jess. & Noah

The Suitcase Bike
What if your suitcase could transform into a bicycle? Well, an inventor from China makes a suitcase do just that. The Suitcase Bike prototype was on display at the Canton Fair in China last week. There was serious doubt the Suitcase Bike would ever make it production, however, according to treehugger.com, "now we've heard that it's in production (see photos below) and will be available sometime later this year." It is to be retailed at an estimated $399.00 USD.

'Last Comic Standing' to Return for Season 8 – Will It Be Terrible?
- By
- 5 Comments
NBC's twice-canceled stand-up comedy competition show Last Comic Standing is once again proving itself to be an unkillable comedy cockroach, earning a previously unheard of third chance to establish itself with audiences after a three-year absence from the airwaves.
More a fixer-upper than your usual television reboot, new producer (and host?) Wanda Sykes is going to have to have a fair amount of work on her hands to sell a series that carries the weight of its past baggage (the Drew Carey controversy and accusations of favoritism in the casting process) alongside all the good, prompting the question: Why not just start from scratch?
Maybe NBC assumes that Wanda Sykes' presence will be enough to assure both audiences and the stand-up community that this is for real, or maybe they feel that people will be hypnotized by Last Comic Standing's potential to make breakout new comics.
During the show's initial run – which was hosted separately by Jay Mohr, Anthony Clark, Bill Bellamy, and Craig Robinson – comics such as Kathleen Madigan, Doug Benson, Todd Glass, Gary Gullman, and Amy Schumer received ample exposure, helping almost all of them to greater success in the following years.
But while the show did prove to be a stepping stone for some, it also wound up embracing some of the worst parts of "unscripted" television, putting contestants through borderline embarrassing stunts despite their tangential tie to stand-up comedy.
The new Last Comic Standing could certainly double down on such things in an effort to pull in reality TV viewers, but doing so could alienate comics and comedy fans at a time when that might be risky.
Again, Last Comic Standing has been off the air for three years at this point (four by the time it returns in the summer of 2014). In that time, we've seen a huge surge in the amount and impact of comedy podcasts like Comedy Bang! Bang!, You Made it Weird, Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast and several others that are either hosted by or prominently feature working stand-up comics that are not household names.
Add to that shows like The Pete Holmes Show and Chris Hardwick's @Midnight and it seems like there are more and more outlets that want comedians to be funny without making them pay such a high cost to do that.
Are these podcasts and super-late night shows as much exposure as a prime-time network TV show? Probably not, but if you were a comic, would you rather get noticed for being funny or for degrading yourself in a reality TV challenge?
That's the new reality that Last Comic Standing 3.0 finds itself in, but the presence of Wanda Sykes does give one hope. This is someone who worked her way up the ranks and has surely developed a keen understanding of the business. Sykes has to realize that Last Comic Standing won't be the only game in town, and that without putting out a product that appeals to good comedians, the show is greatly limited to the fringes of lowest-common-denominator entertainment.
Wanda Sykes has to realize these things, which makes one think that maybe she and NBC are starting from scratch after-all.
The 8th season of Last Comic Standing premieres in June 2014.

Four weeks to the day after she was mauled by a brown bear during a 24-hour race, Petra Davis sat smiling and laughing this afternoon at a table full of her teenage friends.
It was a beautiful sight.
As beautiful as the huge smiles on the faces of her parents, who held a potluck to celebrate her going home from the hospital weeks earlier than expected.
Out of respect for the family's desire for privacy, I've resisted posting updates on Petra's condition in recent weeks. But her story made national news, and people across the country are still landing here while doing Google searches for updates on how she's doing, so this feels like the right time.
She's still seeing a lot of doctors, getting physical therapy and working on her recovery. But she's home, she's strong and she's ahead of schedule.
Petra's encounter with the bear was the darkest spot of a dreary, cold summer, but if the smile on her face today was any indication, the forecast is looking much brighter.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has sought six more months from the Supreme Court to surrender so he can wrap up his film projects.
The actor, convicted for illegally possessing firearms during the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, is supposed to turn himself in on April 18 and serve three-and-half years in jail.
In an application moved on Monday, Dutt said he wanted to complete shooting seven movies worth Rs. 278 crore, including big-budget projects such as filmmaker Raju Hirani's PK and Karan Johar's Unglee.
His plea would be heard on Tuesday.
The court had on March 21 pronounced Dutt guilty under the Arms Act and reduced his sentence from six to five years.
The actor has already spent 18 months in jail.
On Monday, Dutt also said he has not accepted any new films since the apex court's verdict. The 53-year-old actor is likely to move a review plea against the March 21 judgment.

Pokemon Adventures: Unova Dreams
In Nuvema Town, a small village on the southern coast of the Unova Region, the winds of adventure begins to flow as a group of new trainers find their fates intermingled together . Each with their own aspirations and goals. Whether it be aspiring to become a Pokémon Master by conquering all the gyms and the Elite Four in Unova Pokémon League challenge , a Top Coordinator who dazzles Pokémon Contests with their Pokémon's amazing move combinations and appearance, a Seasoned Connoisseur that gives advice to trainers on how to improve their friendship as well as helping them find Pokémon that would suit them, a Gym Leader who tests trainer's strengths and see that their town is protected from those who would harm them, a Professor who seeks to unravel the mysteries of Pokémon and the Universe, a Pokémon Musical Star who seeks to reach fame and fortune through the help of their Pokémon, or maybe even a Brave Ranger who fights for truth, justice, nature, and Pokémon. And what of the people they are traveling with? Will they make rivals? Loves? Friends? Endless new opportunities and relationships lay ahead of our eager heroes as they journey forward into the Region of Unova .
But when there are people who have dreams, there are always those who seek to fulfill their dreams by crushing others'. Seeing as Team Plasma, a former crime syndicate headed by Ghetis, has been taken down and dispersed for the most part, what will the remaining delinquents that are left do? Are they reorganizing and starting to cause mischief amongst the citizens of Unova by stealing Pokemon and taking over landmarks, houses or businesses? And what of the Seven Sages that fled after being defeated by the gym leaders and the mysterious trainer who also defeated Champion Alder and dismantled the organization my defeating it's leaders with the great legendary Pokémon? Are they gone for good or are they secretly plotting to regroup and try one more to taken Unova's Pokémon for themselves. With the so much unknown still around the Unova Region who knows what troubles could come from it. Maybe it prevent our heroes from realizing their destinies? Or maybe it help them grow stronger and give them the power to obtain them?
But whatever the future may hold for them, they will always remember this day, the first day of their Unova Pokemon Adventure.
((Is this too cheesy ;-;?) Also sorry for being cranky earlier. Was having a bad day XP)
This RP will be fairly simple. Your character(s) will be focusing on fulfilling their dreams while traveling through Unova. In every town they'll be something that your character needs to do to achieve their goals and possibly something will be wrong with town due to villainous actions of the remaining Team Plasma members.
I rather focus on the Character's relationships with each other as well as achieving their dreams than long winded battles and dealing with the villains. I encourage romance, rivalries, and other forms of relationships within the group.
Just a bit more information: For starters I think it's important that every character get some spotlight so in each town your character(s) need to do something to help reach their goals. For instance a trainer would either have a gym battle or battle it out with a really tough opponent. In another instance, we might have a coordinator having a Pokemon contest while a connoisseur stars as a judge or helps intern for a bit with a higher ranking connoisseur.
As to what I want to do plot wise overall is have them reach their personal goals and discovering things about themselves. In the chance we finish the RP's first plot I'd love to dream up a continuance., something to keep them together so that their adventures continue (Again, I love romance ! I hope we have couples~!). A sub-part of it will be involving team plasma, but I'm going to leave it up to you on how much we deal with them. After all this is OUR RP not my RP.
1. Please have proper grammar and spelling ( a few typos are okay)
2. No unnecessary cussing
3. Try to post at least one paragraph for each character you control.
4. Do not flame or harass others within the group personally. (Though you may do so to their characters if you two establish a rivalry)
5. If you have two characters try to assign them colors, that way we can tell the two apart during your post.
6. Stick to the Pokemon in this Region.
7. No Legendaries may be captured.
0. This RP will be open to only four people including myself.
1. Everyone will start in Nuvema Town
2. The lowest age your character can be is 15 and the highest is 19
3. Gym Battles and other things that would using NPCs will be done within one post. During that time you will be in control of the NPC and have the full course of the battle until your time with NPC is finished.
4. Try not to have NPCs go out of character.
5. Incidents that happen along the way regarding villains will at first be controlled by me, but as we go on if you have an idea you can do the set up.
6. One of my characters is gay. No flaming. If you are uncomfortable with it please don't participate and if you do participate please be nice and if something happens that you don't like, say something to me and I'll be sure to not do it.
7. At times Characters my split up into separate groups.
Approved Players:
Purple Passion
Character Creation Template + Rules

We really enjoyed our short stay! Only a five minute walk from the station and a 3 minute train to Sendai, we travelled to see the fox village very easily. We recommend a stay at Hitomi's place if you want to go to the fox village. Very clean and comfortable stay!
Jack2016-09-20T00:00:00ZOne stop from Sendai Station, Hitomi's place worked well for us. Hitomi was readily available if we needed anything and the instructions to get into the apartment were simple and clear. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
Craig2016-09-15T00:00:00ZA very good, pleasant and comfortable stay in sendai. Details provided are very accurate. Very convenience as family mart also very near. Its the best among the best in airbnb. Will probably come here again next time we in sendai
Nur Laili Nadia2016-12-31T00:00:00ZLovely apartment, exactly as described. Train very close by.
Sarah2016-09-11T00:00:00ZVery good experience of staying in this apartment for four nights. It is exactly like the pictures show. We did not meet the host, but the instruction was clear enough to move in and out. A comfortable double bed with a foldable dining/reading table. Small kitchen with all necessaries. Good Wifi connection. Clean and comfortable. Located at the northern fridge of the Sendai city, it is 5-8 minutes walk to the nearby JR station (not metro station!) The train will bring you to the Sendai Station, only one stop away. But do take note of the train schedule to avoid long waiting time. Because the unit is next to the street, it may be a bit noisy for light sleeping person at night.
Yu2016-09-27T00:00:00ZVery good place and I will be back 1,000%^^
Art2016-09-05T00:00:00Z交通方便、很乾淨、舒適! 晚上比較不明顯,但還算很好找!

Habitació molt gran i molt acollidora i còmoda. Els serveis compartits són molt correctes i, en el cas de la dutxa, molt original. Ubicació molt recomanable (estació de metro molt aprop) en una zona (URL HIDDEN) però propera a serveis i carrers d´oci. Destacar, com a facilitador principal la disponibilitat i calidesa de l´amfitriona, que en tot moment ha estat assequible, atenta i orientadora.
Jaume 2016-06-27T00:00:00ZThe neighborhood was lovely - the host was lovely, and the place matched the description and looked just like the photo! It was a very spacious room, everything was clean, and the neighborhood was only within a 10-15 minute walk of the station and most shopping areas. Very pleasant! Ayumi herself was lovely and understanding and communicated thoroughly. She also has two very adorable cats! :)
Karina2015-11-25T00:00:00ZWe had a very warm welcome at Ayu's place! She was helping us to find everything we were asking for to make our stay most enjoyable! Thank you Ayu! The place is clean and it's big! Also great if you have more than one night like we had. I can recommend Ayu's apartment without any remarks.
Martin2016-05-18T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay and in a good location, Ayumi was really helpful with everything we needed and helped us make reservations and find places.
隆由2015-12-05T00:00:00ZAyu is a very kind woman. She lives 2 floors above, which makes any questions easy to discuss. Such as: how does the shower work? how do we sort garbage? etc. It is actually 2 minutes from the subway, still very close. It is 1 very large room. It looks like it used to be used for office cubicles. Shared toilet 5 feet from door. Shower is a little strange because it is in her apartment. After the slight awkwardness, its fine. Her cats will greet you. Carpet in the room smelt like smoke. Maybe they should get steam cleaned. Snacks and tea and ice-cream welcomed us :) We stayed with 4 adults and 5 children (aged 7 and under), we were cozy but comfortable. Highly recommended.
kyle2016-05-21T00:00:00ZIt's a very spacious room and Ayu was kind enough to lend us a dehumidifier to help dry our clothes after we washed them. We didn't have a microwave in our room (there was one in the other room) but Ayu was also kind enough to lend us a toaster oven. The shower was in Ayu's apt so we were not very comfortable using it. There wasn't much space to change in the shower area and it was only separated from the lounge area by curtains. The neighborhood was quiet but nice. The beds were very comfortable.

Was welcome and friendly, the place is close to a station so it's good. The listing is quite big with four floors, the road can be loud at night but it isn't a problem. Good value for money, would recommend
Timothy2016-03-09T00:00:00ZХозяин очень доброжелательный. Здание и планировка соответствовали фотографиям.
Anton2016-05-25T00:00:00ZLocation: 4/5 The place was relatively close to a JR Station (10 Min walk), and has reasonable access to the central Sendai area (30 Min by bike or 5 Mins by Train). Another plus was the close proximity to a rather extensive supermarket and food outlets. Facilities: 4/5 The facilities were well-maintained and the place was clean and tidy. The entertainment room in the basement was also nice. Host: 4/5 The host was accommodating, as i had difficulties accessing the net the days before I checked in and was not able to check my messages. Even so, he managed to respond to me despite my sudden appearance.
Glen2016-06-07T00:00:00ZExcellent Airbnb experience in extremely funky cool environment. Excited to stay again next year!!!
Eric2016-01-17T00:00:00Zとても清潔な内装で、とても居心地が良かったです。 屋上からの景色も素晴らしいですし、地下のビリヤード場 も素敵でした。ホストの方も丁寧に案内してくれて、 おかげさまで素敵な時間を過ごせました!
Shotaro2016-06-07T00:00:00ZThis hostel was super cheap and just what I needed. The hosts were really nice and helpful. :)
Matt2015-12-07T00:00:00ZLinbak hostel was a real hidden gem. Just one stop away from JR Sendai, and then about 10 minutes from Higashi-Sendai. The apartment is well-stocked with a traveller's needs and the space is comfy enough, if a bit small. Great stay! Thanks Linbak :-)
Melody2016-10-22T00:00:00ZVery nice and organized. Lots of amenities (pool table, kitchen, washer, wifi, magazines, maps, brochures, candy, snacks).

孟筑2016-12-14T00:00:00ZAmazing value for money. A very comfortable and convenient place to stay and the host's communication was excellent.
Pelonomi2016-12-26T00:00:00ZThe place of the room is very good and very near to the center of the city, like ICHIBANCHO and the subway. The room is very good for family. We stay for two weeks. We hope to come again.
Xianwei2017-02-08T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is at the perfect location, just outside kita-yobancho station and walking distance from jojenji-dori avenue and ichibancho. The place was very clean and communication with the owner was super fast. I would 100% recommend it

The beds were absolutely amazing. I felt perfectly safe, and the house was beautiful. I got a bit confused checking in, but another guest helped me and from there we were settled. I would definitely stay here again.
Hannah2016-10-11T00:00:00ZKenichi has a beautiful home and it is more spacious than the other places in Japan that I had stayed. It's traditional and has a very homie feel to it. The shower is really nice almost like a spa and once I figured out how to turn on the hot water felt amazing after walking in the heat. The beds are also incredibly comfortable. I didn't want to wake up, but had to leave early. Kenichi was very accommodating. I booked the room on the fly and her had it all ready and was there to check us in and explain the house. I don't think he speaks very much English however everything in the house is labeled and easy to understand so it was not a problem at all. I only wish my time staying in Sendai could have been longer.
Sabrina2016-07-19T00:00:00ZRecommended !!
Liron2016-10-10T00:00:00ZThe room is very comfortble. And it only takes 15minutes to walk to Aigobashi subway station. I will stay here again when I come to sendai next time. 佐藤さんへ メッセージ有難うございました! おばさんとの会話は本当に楽しかった。今度はあんまり時間ない為、観光地とか全然行けなかったですよYUYでも仙台は楽しいです、牛たんも浦霞もJIM BEAMも美味しいですw そして、ライブはめっちゃ面白かった! 来年絶対仙台に来るから、またその時に会いましょう! この度、お世話になりました。ありがとうございます。 コウより
QI2016-10-03T00:00:00ZNot very much recommended, especially for those who don't speak Japanese. very inconvenient location, freezing when getting in, air-con doesn't work very well, and gas smell chocked me awake, couldn't sleep at all for the two nights stayed. no TV or other amenities provided. hard to get a taxi, meanwhile, with the taxi cost, you could get a much more comfortable stay in central downtown. have to say, its so far the most uncomfortable airbnb i experienced all over the world.
Linda2017-01-05T00:00:00ZFinding the house was a bit of an adventure, but not to much of a hassle. When coming into the house we were immediately greeted with the warm and inviting hosts. We then climbed up the slightly steep steps to find the comodious room in which we would stay. Showering the next morning in the bath room was spectacular! Overall a very pleasent experience and would definitly stay here again when visiting Sandai.
Mark2017-01-03T00:00:00ZKenichi มารับที่สถานี Sendai ทำให้การเดินทางไปที่พักสะดวกสบายมาก ห้องพักสะอาดเรียบร้อยดี มีส่วนกลางให้ใช้บริการ โต๊ะทานข้าว ตู้เย็น น้ำดื่ม ชา กาแฟ มีจาม ชามบริการไว้ให้อย่างดี รวมทั้งในห้องน้ำมีเครื่องซักผ้า เครื่องอบผ้าให้ แต่ห้องอาบน้ำ และห้องน้ำน้อยไปหน่อย
Ditsaya2016-10-26T00:00:00ZThe stay at Kenichi's place was great. It's really close to a supermarket, loved the nature and parks the guest house was enveloped in, and everyone we met there was very friendly, hosts included, despite the language gap. Room was clean and comfortable, overall a positive experience.

She was really kind and sunny. The Price is also cheap and cheap. Person who is traveler recommend this room. The room can feel so cold, but air conditional and heater were help we warm. Although She is busy, She clean up the room everyday. The room is capable 2 people, but i think one is better. I want to say so thank you to her!

Xinyue2017-01-07T00:00:00ZFull of dust and her hair, There we are many unwashed dishes in the sink and the bath tub is leaking ,she closed the heater at night and we were freezing . In conclusion, poor hygiene.

Asuza is a great host who tries his best to help when the guest needs it. I booked the room at 8:30pm on the night of the stay and he responded within 10 minutes. He picked me up from Sendai Station after hearing my cellphone is running out of battery. He knows all the fun places in Sendai. He speaks good English and he keeps the room clean all the time. I had a lot of fun chatting with him.
Esther2015-09-05T00:00:00ZAzusa's place was nice and he was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed meeting his friends and exploring the city from this location.
Adam2016-02-03T00:00:00ZThe house is near Sendai Station and easy to find. It rained heavily when I arrived but Azusa still picked me up. Very big thanks! And with his invitation, I got a chance to enjoy a traditional Japanese restaurant. That's impressive.
陈2015-08-24T00:00:00ZKiko is traditional Japanese style room which is located in the center of Sendai. You can find everything you want around this apartment and it is also quite close to the station. The host, Azusa-San is very friendly and he helped me a lot. We even had dinner together.

The whole experience was awesome. If you are impressed about the garden, then wait till you see the house. We went out of our way to this place for the tea ceremony, but it turned out an unforgettable day. Even though the Harue's father doesn't speak english, he totally did his best to make us understand the basic needs. The place is lovely and the sauna was really relaxing. We did came with the taxi from the station, but the way back we went with the bus. It was quite easy to find. It is a pity that we had a tight schedule, otherwise we would have loved to stay a few days longer.

Eri2015-03-04T00:00:00ZThis was the second time we came to stay here and we still loved it! I brought my sister in for the atmosphere at the house and the tea experience. It was remarkable. She loved it and felt like it was a perfect example of different aspects of Japanese culture. Even though we arrived very late in the evening, he was still very welcoming and helpful as he escorted us to our rooms and explained the important things like where the bathrooms were and how to treat the tatami floors. My sister loved taking pictures of the neighborhood and the yard. We'll always be happy to stay here again!
新井2016-08-07T00:00:00ZHarue's dad greeted us that evening in his traditional Japanese clothing. He prepped a very nice Japanese tea ceremony which can take a very long time to master in Japan. By far the most gracious and precise execution of the a traditional ceremony. He also took a picture of us after the tea ceremony. The house is just minutes away from downtown Sendai. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Kazushi2016-09-11T00:00:00Zとても暖かみのある 可愛らしい素敵なお家でした。 ホストの方も とてもお優しく、素敵なご夫婦です! まるで実家のような、帰りたくなるような そんなお家でした。 たくさんのおもてなし ありがとうございました!
幹奈2016-10-11T00:00:00Z이 집은 전형적인 현대 일본인의 주택으로 특히 외국인에게는 일본 주거문화를 이해하는 귀한 경험이 됩니다. 숙소가 위치한 곳은 무척 조용하고 공기가 맑은데 뒤에 산이 있어서 저녁에 베란다에 나가보면 소나무 향이 났습니다. 낮에 번잡한 시내와 관광지에서 바쁘게 보냈다면 밤에는 차분하게 휴식하기에 최적이라고 생각됩니다. 이 집은 호스트가 올해 초까지 살아왔던 집이라 곳곳에 사람사는 가정집의 흔적이 남아 있습니다. 낡은 오디오하며 앤틱한 가구 등은 고스란히 사람의 흔적을 담고 있었습니다. 호스트는 매우 친근하고 긍정적인 분입니다. 사진은 뭔가 무섭게(?) 보이지만 실제로 만나보니 무척 다정하고 좋으신 분이었습니다. 떠날 때는 아쉽기까지 하더군요. 호스트는 이 집 바로 옆집에 살면서 투숙객의 프라이버시를 보장해주며 동시에 편의를 챙겨줍니다. 저는 2박3일 동안 다른 손님이 없어 혼자 보냈는데 집 전체를 혼자 쓰다시피 했습니다. 침대와 다다미방, 다락방 등이 있었는데 저는 침대방을 썼구요. 가정집 특유의 편안함으로 꿀잠을 잤습니다. 1층은 공용공간이고 2층은 생활공간입니다. 2층에도 화장실, 세면대, 거실 등이 있어 왠만한 활동은 2층에서 해결됩니다. 다만 세탁, 샤워, 주방 등은 1층을 이용해야 합니다. 약간 아쉬운 부분이 있다면, 지하철 역에서 숙소까지의 거리가 약간 멀다는 점을 들 수 있습니다. 이 집이 번화가에서 떨어진 완전한 주택단지에 위치하다보니 그렇지요. 그러나 처음 찾아갈 때는 멀게 느껴졌지만 두 번째부터는 산책하는 기분이 들었고 그렇게 멀게 느껴지지 않았습니다. 역에서 이 집이 위치한 6町目까지 버스가 있기는 합니다. 비용은 100엔인데 문제는 버스 배차 간격이 넓어서 시간을 체크해두지 않으면 이용하기 쉽지는 않습니다. 센다이역에서 야기야마동물원역까지 7정거장 300엔, 20분 정도 걸리고 도보로 20분 소요됩니다. 그 외로 열차를 기다리는 시간 10분 등 모두 50분이 소요됩니다. 300엔은 현지 물가를 생각하면 대단한 금액은 아닙니다. 더욱이 숙박비가 상대적으로 저렴하기 때문에 문제가 되지 않는다고 생각됩니다. 한편, 또 한 가지 아쉬운 부분은 큰 집에 혼자 있다보니 첫날에는 약간 공허한 마음이 들었습니다. 그러나 계단실 불을 켜두고 지내니 괜찮기는 했습니다. 더욱이 동료가 있다면 전혀 문제될 것이 없습니다. 특히 3인 이상이라면 거의 집전체 랜탈이 가능할 것 같습니다. wifi는 제가 방문했던 다른 집들에 비해 매우 안정적이고 잘 됩니다. TV는 없지만 노트북이나 타블렛 등으로 대체할 수 있습니다. 종합적으로 생각해보면, 매우 만족스럽다고 평가할 수 있겠습니다. 저는 집이 마음에 들어서 더 머물고 싶을 정도였습니다. 다음에 센다이를 방문할 기회가 된다면 꼭 다시 숙박하고 싶습니다.
Sung Ho2016-09-27T00:00:00ZMr. Jinu San and his family were very nice. During our stay they helped as alot. He has given a complete care on us and suggest some important places for visit . It is a good place to stay peacefully. We liked the interiors of their house and the house was very clean and spacious .I will recommend 100% this place!!!

あゆみさんとは入室後にいちどご挨拶をしただけでしたが、とてもあたたかく迎えていただきました。 建物ごく普通のビルですが、お部屋はとても広くて清潔でびっくりするほどでした。布団もとても綺麗で心地よかったです。また、観光案内のパンフレットや近隣のマップ以外にも、キッチンにはお茶やお菓子までご用意くださっていて、お気遣いがとてもありがたかったです。 トイレが室外にあり、お借りしませんでしたがシャワーは別フロアにありました。近くの銭湯に行くのもよいと思います。 Though it was very short, I had a wonderful experience at Ayumi's place. She was very warm and responsible person. The room was very clean and large. I'm grateful for her kindness. I'd love to stay here again.

Daiki2016-08-29T00:00:00ZA very good location as a base to explore the Northeast of Japan . we are happy chose this apartment, about three blocks from main station east exit. A spacious, comfortable apartment that is in a quiet location for you to rest. Very different from the hotel or hostel, you can have your own kitchen to make some simple food and quiet space to relax after a long day . Although it wasn't the first time traveling , finding the new location at night never easy for me. Happily to find that the own was very helpful instructed us ,so we had no trouble to find the place.

Masayoshi2016-09-18T00:00:00ZI did not meet Linh. I arrived in Sendai and almost made it to the house before crossing paths with a guy who helped me retrieve the key. Without his help I think I would not have been able to get the key. The phone numbers for Linh and her partner that were in the welcome packet were disconnected. I messaged her asking for restaurant recommendations and never received a reply. The house and its garden needed maintenance. The house was worn and (mostly) clean. Leftover food in the fridge had spoiled. I brushed my teeth over the kitchen sink because there was no bathroom sink. The rental's location was convenient for me. I wanted to be near one of the university's campuses.
Kyle2016-09-01T00:00:00ZI didn't met Linh, but she sent me detailed instruction to reach the apartment, and a complete "house manual". I enjoyed my stay very much, the apartment was very clean and very quiet. Although it was not directly in the city center, it was conveniently located close to a subway station, so that it was relatively fast to reach everything. I was only surprised that there was no washbasin in the bathroom, but apart from that everything was great.
Laurent2016-09-11T00:00:00ZIt's beautiful, quiet and comfortable house, so it's really suitable for resting after busy working or traveling day. I booked it when I have a business trip in Sendai and after 1 night stay here, I continue choosing it for my traveling

REVIEW: Who Owns Primo's by Andy Sterling
by Andy Martrich
Andy Sterling's 2016 book Who Owns Primo's is the 24th book of the Gauss PDF Editions imprint. As with all Gauss PDF Editions, it's available in both PDF and book form.
Who Owns Primo's is minimalistic. Its pages contain more space than text, consisting of anywhere from one to nine double-spaced lines descending from the top margin. The text is predominantly composed of names and references to names that seem to mask a broader and unnamed conspiracy at work. What or what isn't behind them becomes an obsessive quality of the piece, because in Who Owns Primo's masks are the only certainty—even Sam Tierney's cover drawing suggests this foundational premise. It is the book's mask, nodding to corollaries within.
Before discussing the specifics of Who Owns Primo's, it's important to mention Sterling's previous book, Supergroup, also published by Gauss PDF Editions in 2013. Supergroup is a rough documentation of credits from albums released by Virgin Records in alphabetical order through the letter L, which were gathered from Wikipedia and Discogs. It reads like a directory, each page featuring eight names coupled with the player's respective instrument or role, typically positioned to look like two four-lined stanzas:
John McCoy — bass guitar
Mike Thompson — French horn on "Woman"
Tom Saviano — tenor saxophone
Gordon Haskell — bass guitar, vocalsBaptiste Brondy — drums
Dick Pearce — flugelhorn, trumpet
Craig Pruess — string conduction
Brian Scott — tubulum (24)
In Supergroup, names and roles appear severed from their previous commercial context, functioning solely as terms in a hypothetical directory. Like Supergroup, Who Owns Primo's is onomastic, highlighting proper names, but where Supergroup has a specific conceptual bent regarding the usage of names (i.e., as credits), Who Owns Primo's is dislodged from this constraint, free to cite names in the context of the title line, which appears on page 13:
Who owns Primo's?
Grey Black.
Du Pont.
Schulz. (13)
The esoteric quality of Who Owns Primo's makes it more unsettling than Supergroup. Although both pieces illustrate the strangeness of names, Supergroup plays with an established order toggled loose from its original context, but still methodically and smoothly. On the other hand, Who Owns Primo's is indicative of an intangible breakdown, a deficiency that persists throughout the work. This is articulated in gaps, pauses, and large spaces interspersed throughout the text, giving it a porous, ephemeral look and feel. The content, as well, is terse and fragmentary. In the above example, the cryptic quality of the question "Who owns Primo's?" is enhanced by the names and gaps that follow, equally dim signifiers.
Before finding out who owns Primo's, it's necessary to define what Primo's is. Early on it's not so clear. At first, Primo's seems to be a kind of restaurant, given lines like "Primo's dinner" (12) and "Have you tried Primo's?" (14). But this definition quickly becomes inadequate when considering the long list of mysterious suspects regarding its ownership, a list that extends well beyond Sarah, Grey Black, Du Pont, Schulz. Despite the textual brevity of the piece, there are over 190 proper names that appear throughout. Google searches on individual names rarely provide helpful information, and one wonders if Sterling purposefully uses popular or common names, Robert Adam for example, in effort to widen the anonymity of possible entities tied to names; however, occasional hints are provided:
Titus Prude.
6-4 Robert Adam.
Classical Architecture.
A dusty, little, black copy of Florida Today. (18)
The use of "Classical Architecture" and "London" may lead the reader to believe that Robert Adam refers to the 18th century architect of the same name. But does it matter? Probably not, as names typically appear alongside each other without any obvious connection—Sarah, Grey Black, Du Pont, Schulz. Titus Prude, Robert Adam. Titus Prude seems to refer to a high school tennis player. Every name that appears on page 23 is associated with a microbiologist or a student of microbiology. On page 17 we find "Sean Aslin" and "Will Whecton." Are these misspellings of the actors Sean Astin and Wil Wheaton? Maybe. A Google search suggests those alternatives. But to a large extent, if not completely, who these names may or may not represent is of no recourse. A simple search reveals how vapid names can be as search terms, populating results as incidental as a wedding registry, an art student's WordPress site, photographs of random people, scattered lists and metadata, profiles on Etsy, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest. Who are all these people? These generalities create fodder for playful gestures throughout the text, for example:
John Dam, Vind Qnion II. VN.
John Dink 270 Swanston Street. (34)
The names "John Dam" and "John Dink" could very well be the same thing. And, in this context, that's exactly what they are. They are nothing if not generic identifiers. Sterling points again and again to the inanity of names and their associations. Identity, or rather nonidentity, appears to be at the heart of Primo's, as the association of names with ambiguity, and the futility of identity formation via what one ostensibly thinks, does, or says, only ends up indicating an erasure. What manufactures the identities that may or may not be found behind these names? Other names and masks. The names of people, the names of places, the names of roles and positions, the names of bands. Ironically, this matryoshka-like persistence ends up being a true supposition, as the names that encase these nominal identities are solely identifiers signifying an equally generic cloud of surrogates—everything defines everyone.
Given the possibility of name for name substitution, Who Owns Primo's could just have easily been titled Who Owns Titus Prude, Who Owns Florida Today, Who Owns Grey Black. Primo's, after all, is just another name. In this sense, the representatives (names) of supposed entities, are entities unto themselves, the only entities, the identifiers of no one in particular or anyone at all. Who, indeed, owns Primo's? No one in particular; anyone at all? It would seem that way. A name representing a sea of miscellany can never be specific, and therefore it's impossible to encounter this or that thing beyond it. A supposed catalog of selves is by default inaccessible, or as Sterling writes:
They acted like somebody's there, Ryan. There wasn't nobody there. (77)
Ryan wasn't there either. If whoever or whatever owned Primo's ever existed, that entity has been erased. They had only acted, an imitation of what we have no reason to believe was there to begin with. So who or what exactly provides this information? There is indeed someone or something that speaks, a sort of impersonal narrator that Sterling has created. Spoken sentences and phrases appear brusquely, reading similarly to the names, continuing the trek of anonymity. Just as there is no self or identity to represent, the phrases only indicate trace occurrences of no obvious consequence. The voice cycles through various banal activities—borrowing its father's sport jacket, leaning into a car, running everything on batteries, while referencing other names in vaguely paralleled events:
But how am I to know who helped Anson to build that apple pie?
Who rose by the sword no further than Carli?
What's love got to do with H biography? (41)
As in the above example, there are places in the text where the disjunctive relationship between events and names reads like spam. Spamming is an act representative of the onomastization of language, rendering it general and anonymous. Who Owns Primo's is suggestive of a world where identity feels very much like spam—piecemeal lists, curt metadata, cheap imitations, personalities presented like advertising. Nevertheless, the voice explores identity formation via the naming of names and fragmented routines. It searches for a continuity of associations with other nonentities and fantasies, as is evident in the recurrence of scenes and ploys for acceptance—as personal identity only appears relative to these ethereal others:
To get yourself in, Everhard's in New York. (25)
Randy hit the scene with Clive. (53)
Had we not broken apart and invited you, Bernard? (89)
…and the relationship between names and spheres of activity is exemplified in a line found earlier in the text:
The scene, the practice, the name. I came. (16)
This implies that a mask is earned. First comes the scene, a current to which it's possible to latch on, where the identity is doled out and nurtured according to the parameters of a collective interest—a fashion scene, a music scene, a writing scene. Then comes the practice, a commitment to an active concurrence within that commonality. The name comes finally as some kind of reward, a developed security in relation to a centralized construct. Thus, the voice's formula for identity formation is ultimately narcissistic, engaging with scenes and practices, names and generalities in order to experience a personal continuity. "I came" constitutes a sort of immaterial masturbation, a sense of temporary elation at the notion of becoming. Regardless, the voice is incapable of being accepted, as there are no entities to relate to outside of the identifiers, and therefore nothing really to accept it. It speaks from a peripheral, solipsistic emptiness:
The affinity of all souls pitched in the same room and quiet.
That isolationist-scene New York-aise. With no pussy.
A band played—"Wicker Park"—and I can only describe them through fly-wire doors. (29)
The voice is merely a voyeur, a disembodied peeping tom with acceptance and identity formation as its fantasies. Yet it acknowledges that it's capable of being referenced despite its disconnection and anonymity:
The shepherded abortion contained an embrace. (66)
The embrace of absence is exactly this ability to be referred to as a hypothetical something or other, a centralization, of which the voice only achieves as a theoretical modulation—narration, not name, is its mask. It speaks other names in narration as its name, associations that allow it a remedial existence as a talker, so to speak. No where is this more evident than in the mundane dialogue that takes place between the voice and the name "Charles" between pages 47 and 71. I use the word dialogue loosely, as the trajectory of the piece doesn't change—it maintains a dim transience, rather the voice begins to directly address a specific name:
"I say, Charles, assorted factors drive people."
I think Charles packs better when he's attempting to drive.
I work in Asia with a world-cave and a lop-ear. Charles plays the fool. (48)
The voice may as well be talking to itself. Charles is anonymous, lifeless—an imaginary friend. Both the name and the voice are equally without identities. Charles only says one thing, "Up or down" to which the voice replies, "Up, if I win" (55). The supposition of up versus down provides another general relationship, subjective and dependent upon position and relativity. What could possibly constitute winning in Who Owns Primo's other than assimilation to the generic, the acquisition of an effective mask like a ghost that conforms to the striations of a superficial mold. Up, if centralized; up, if a blank reference.
What makes Who Owns Primo's so unsettling is the relevancy of its suggestion that identity is nothing but a fog of cryptic hearsay—especially in a contemporary context where it's necessary to constantly define ourselves via fill-in-the-blank profiles, tags, and avatars. This, too, is a world where identities have been succumbed by meaningless identifiers. Names are masks for what exactly? Anonymous voices, ghosts, imitations—masks on top of speculations, erasures, disguises, other lists and names.
And no one came within.
Speculated man. Demolished potato. (62)

REVIEW: Calamities by Renee Gladman
by Sam Lohmann
Renee Gladman's new book Calamities (Wave, 2016) wrecks genre. Let's say it's written in the essay line, each problem leading to further problems. Line and essay problems write and draw, don't solve, each other.
Calamities is a book of episodic displacements and frames within frames. Each essay is a fragment, a new beginning, discontinuous from its neighbors but in conversation with them. Each one (until the final section, "The Eleven Calamities"—there are actually 14) begins with the phrase I began the day, which works not only to establish sequence but to place the narrator within three simultaneous frames: doing something (in the past, on a day), narrating the doing (in the book's present), and writing, revising, worrying over the narration (in an ambiguous past-tense present, maybe the same day). The narrator often seems to be doing, thinking, writing by hand and typing on a computer all at once, or alternately. There are open quotations whose close is narrated verbally rather than typeset, essays within dreams within essays, and many remembered and imagined books and drafts and drawings. A peculiar mix of specificity and dreamy vagueness displaces each episode to a realm of fable rather than autobiography— narrator's city and university go unnamed, while other names pass too briefly to ever pin down the narrator or her surroundings. This deflection comes to form, in Gladman's words, "the scarring that made people feel safe in public," in a story "rupturing, never completing itself, rather, endlessly repeating, starting again and again, in the sense that sometimes beginnings are slow and last forever and everything you need is within them."
Calamities is a book about writing and how to go on. The central, centripetal strategy is analogy, between genres, media, modes of action. To begin (or, the narrator finds eventually, to stop), writing has to be something else—walking, thinking, folding paper scraps, or, inescapably, drawing. This speculative identity draws a meandering line through Gladman's works: "I did every kind of walk down this corridor to arrive at the room of writing, and I walked with every kind of feeling, so that it wouldn't always be the same text I was writing."
The anthropologist Tim Ingold, in Lines: A Brief History, situates writing as a form of drawing, an activitation of line. His taxonomy of thread and trace, guideline and plotline, may be useful, but no explicit definitions are needed for Gladman's practice and theory to go on. Analogy between media, pursued with visionary literalism or sly duplicity, has proven liberating for many artists: I'm thinking of Barbara Guest's relation to painting, Nathaniel Mackey's to music (specifically in his ongoing great jazz novel), or Cy Twombly's to writing. If that's one tradition Gladman's work belongs to, she can also be read in traditions of black speculative fiction (with Samuel R. Delany and Octavia Butler), black transgressive conceptual art (Adrian Piper, Ralph Lemon), and American women's writing at the intersection of daily life and linguistic experiment (from Gertrude Stein to Etel Adnan, say).
As Gladman has explained: "Recently, I have been playing around with the idea that there is a spectrum along which sentences become drawings." (And in Calamities she says they are "identical gestures made with the hand.") Ingold would take exception to the sentence, which he sees as an imposition from print culture, but that would miss Gladman's point. Print is where we've been, and the sentence has been a primary object of experiment—and obsession—for the hundred years since Stein at least.
Gladman obsesses and opens new airways at the levels of sentence, story, essay, sequence, model, and of discrete words that draw themselves through the thickness and unexpectedness of their phonemes: Ravickians or looning up on claw or geoscography. Late in Calamities, the narrator holds the word sentence in her mouth and becomes aware of "the essence of sentence" like a paper chain or papier-mâché sculpture that absorbs the world into its sculptural content: "It sucked everything in and enforced an order that made me particularly aware of time."
Counterbalancing the strategy of analogy is the centrifugal and contrapuntal tactic of essay as a unit of thought and of life. By making each essay coterminous with a day, Gladman estranges and doubles the day and makes it the site of problems to be essayed. The problems that engage her are fundamental, the solutions provisional and idiosyncratic. A book on architecture titled The Atlas of Novel Tectonics becomes a divinatory source for the novelist; one drawing demands to be redrawn hundreds of times in lieu of writing; a particular student (but which one?) is taken for the person in the world—"the person who is the most perplexed of all persons." These insolvent solutions might be unsatisfying if the narrator, in her bewilderment and ours, weren't such wonderful company.
Commuting by train, the narrator finds the Atlantic Northeast transformed into the Pacific Northwest, which seems to match the New England personality—"I mean, they really did already act as if all there was was rain." Later the narrator, reading Herta Müller, considers the possibility that she has become a different person by laying eyes on the page: an "Eastern-European African American" in an atopian "undermining of all that is the case," wishing she could get people "to understand how black people are another kind of Eastern European" and wondering how it would be "for the Eastern Europeans to call themselves black, or even black Asian." Gladman's experience as a black lesbian writer and academic is implicit throughout the book, while at the same time identity and its attendant characters—and all qualities of self we'd suppose permanent—come unstitched through the wayfaring of her narration. Calamities is a book about daily life, which is shown to be a series of transformations whose end is unknown. Ingold might describe it as a line traveled along rather than to or from: but Gladman's line is discontinuous like letters in printed sentences. Each transformation is a calamity, unresolved but pointing to further possibilities.

A man found dead in a car in woodland has been named as Malcolm Collett.
The 54-year-old Chislet baker's body was discovered in Clowes Wood in Whitstable on August 2.
His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Mr Collett, of Saddleton Road, Whitstable, ran the Beach Dog Bakery with his wife Brenda, who revealed the tragedy on the business's Facebook page.
She said: "It is with sadness and regret that I have to inform you that Malcolm died suddenly yesterday. I have no further details at the moment. I hope he is now at peace.
"Beach Dog Bakery is still open as he would have wanted but I would ask you to bear with us at this difficult time. Thank you for your understanding."
North Kent coroner Alan Blunsdon opened an inquest into Mr Collett's death, which he adjourned for further inquiries.

The administrative challenges of managing work absences can be overwhelming. Without an automated solution, keeping all parties involved on the same page and focused on getting the employee back to work in a timely matter requires an intense amount of manual follow-up. The longer an employee is out, the more costly it is and the more productivity is lost.

Through the ability to easily connect all parties involved in an employee's return to work process, goals can be aligned and tracked.
