text: content October 5, 2010 Branched-chain amino acids extend life span in animal model Enzo Nisoli of Milan University and his colleagues report in the October, 2010 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism that branched-chain amino acids, which include leucine, isoleucine and valine, extended the average life span of mice when administered in their drinking water. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in the body. In humans, eight essential amino acids, including the branched-chain amino acids, cannot be manufactured and must be obtained via the diet. Previous research uncovered a survival benefit for branched-chain amino acids in single-celled yeast organisms. Dr Nisoli and his associates tested the effects of branched-chain amino acid supplementation on normal mice and in mice bred to lack endothelial nitric oxide synthase, an enzyme that is involved in vasodilation. Normal mice given the amino acids beginning at nine months of age had a median life span of 869 days, while untreated animals had a life span of 774 days. This benefit was not evident in mice lacking endothelial nitric oxide synthase, suggesting that phenomena mediated by the enzyme could contribute the amino acids' benefit. Food intake, weight, and adiposity were similar in supplemented and unsupplemented animals, indicating that the effect of branched chain amino acids was not related to adipose tissue reduction. Further experimentation determined that supplemented animals experience an increase in cardiac and skeletal muscle mitochondria, which are the energy producing organelles of cells. There was also greater activity of a longevity-associated gene known as SIRT1, and less oxidative damage, which are effects similar to those conferred by calorie restriction in some studies. Animals given branched-chain amino acids additionally showed increased exercise endurance and motor coordination. "This is the first demonstration that an amino acid mixture can increase survival in mice," Dr Nisoli stated. He observed that amino acid supplements do not have to be digested as do the proteins which contain them, enabling them to enter the bloodstream immediately. "They come with no energy cost." "These data reveal an important antiaging role of branched-chain amino acids mediated by mitochondrial biogenesis in mammals," the authors write. Dr Nisoli concluded that the findings represent a "general philosophy of a nutritional approach to disease, aging, and problems of energy status." Getting the most from exercise Exercise is a proven life extender. Literally thousands of clinical trials have documented the benefits of a regular exercise program. It has been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, the leading killer in the United States. It is effective in preventing obesity and depression, and it helps people of all ages maintain flexibility, strength, and even independence. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Essential amino acids, which are not synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from outside sources, include phenylalanine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, histidine, arginine, lysine, and leucine. Of these, isoleucine, leucine, and valine are branched-chain amino acids. They improve performance and prevent muscle metabolism during endurance exercise (Workman J 2002; Shimomura Y et al 2006; Ohtani M et al 2006). In a study comparing amino acid and carbohydrate supplements, amino acid supplements improved walking and isometric muscle strength in older participants (Scognamiglio R et al 2004). There are many benefits to a program of regular exercise. In addition to enhanced self-esteem, exercise can promote weight loss and aid in the prevention of a number of diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. The following nutrients have been shown to enhance muscle function, promote quicker recovery after exercise, and increase strength: Creatine Carnitine—1000 to 2000 milligrams (mg) daily Carnosine—1500 to 3000 mg daily Branched-chain amino acids—containing at least 1200 mg L-leucine, 600 mg L-isoleucine, and 600 mg L-valine Glutamine—500 to 1000 mg daily Whey protein—consider taking 20 to 80 grams (g) whey protein daily. It is most important to consume whey protein before and immediately after your exercise session to make sure adequate protein is available to depleted muscles.

Super Bio-Curcumin Curcumin's multifaceted effects include protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals, protecting against damaging free radicals, and promoting normal cell cycle growth. The problem is that curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Super Bio-Curcumin® absorbs up to seven times better than conventional curcumin. So this patent-pending formula represents the most cost-effective way to supplement with this critical nutrient. Studies show that one 400 mg capsule a day of this turmeric compound can provide curcumin blood levels equal to ingesting 2,500–2,800 mg of commercial curcumin supplements. Not only does this novel turmeric formulation provide far greater peak blood levels, but the curcumin remains in the bloodstream almost twice as long as conventional supplements. And this enhanced absorption delivery complex provides other beneficial turmeric compounds in addition to standardized curcumin. Sea-Iodine™ For decades, Americans have been told to avoid table salt to reduce their risk of hypertension and related health conditions. But when iodized table salt is reduced, people can unknowingly lower their iodine intake to suboptimal levels. Analyses from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) show that urinary iodine levels have plummeted since the 1970s. The good news is that you can avoid iodized table salt without sacrificing the health benefits of iodine. Sea-Iodine™ is a low-cost proprietary formula that health-conscious individuals can take each day to support optimal iodine levels. Using standardized extracts harvested from a blend of marine algae, Sea-Iodine™ brings you the health of the sea while avoiding the dangers of excessive salt intake. The purified algae extracts found in Sea-Iodine™ come from the pristine waters of Iceland, Nova Scotia, Italy and Norway, providing you with over 667% of the Recommended Daily Value of natural iodine.

What else will we discover in Obama's bills?

From The Heritage Foundation's website:
"The White House took issue with us for pointing out that President Obama's constant hammering of 'corporate jet owners' in yesterday's speech was not exactly consistent with President Obama's own failed stimulus bill. What irritated them is that our investigative reporter Lachlan Markay wrote:
'But the corporate jet tax break to which Obama was referring -- called "accelerated depreciation," and a popular Democratic foil of late -- was created by his own stimulus package.
'Proponents of the tax break lauded it as a means to spur economic activity by encouraging purchases of large manufactured goods (planes). So the president's statement today -- and his call to repeal that tax break generally -- is either a tacit admission that the stimulus included projects that did not, in fact, stimulate the economy, or an attempt to "soak the rich" without regard for the policy's effects on the economy.'
"Not so, said the White House. The tax break in question was created in 2002 and merely extended by President Obama."
So, The Heritage Foundation said that, yes, instead of saying Obama CREATED it, they should have more accurately said that he EXTENDED or APPROVED of the tax break for corporate jets as part of his Stimulus Package.
Could it be accurate to say that this corporate tax break was approved because no one had actually read the entire Stimulus Package until now? SURPRISE! Just as with the Obama's Health Care bill, we are only now finding out what all the fine print says.
If it weren't so sad, this could be like Christmas in July. ... You never know what else you are going to discover.

I don't trust Obama...I always feel like his words never match his deeds. He's like my nephew...always hiding something and sneaking around and you don't find out what he has done wrong until the deed is already done and someone has to clean it up. Why can't we just have an honest, pragmatic government?. I just resent Obama always sneaking around and doing things behind our backs cause he knows most Americans would object. I had to stop watching Glenn Beck cause he has so much documented evidence (written statements, books, video, taped converstaions) against Obama and his group of radicals that it left me depressed watching thoe cockroaches slowly eat away at my country...they're like a bunch of vermon. I will never get over the manner in which the health bill was constructed and passed...it felt like what I image rape feels like...violated and dirty. You can see how much everyone dislikes this bill by the number of syncophants and unions that have gotten waivers to opt out of the program. And, 30% of employers have recently indicated that they will drop insurance for their employees because they can't afford to comply with the health bill. And, just to think that MOST of the bill has not even been implemented yet...Here's what will eventually be the outcome: (1) Diffitulty finding a doctor cause many are retiring, changing professions, or going to work with large health organizations (2) Everyone eventually will have only one health provider....the Government. You will not have your own doctor anymore (3) The cost will rise way above what Obama indicated it would be (4) Procedures and medicines for the elderly will be very limited due to the cost and I suspect the life expectancy will fall drastically (5) The full implementation of this bill will probably cost at least 2 or 3 times what they have projected...probably about $2 or 3$ trillion per year
God, please make O a one term President otherwise this country will probably never recover. I'm not ready to be a citizen of a Banana Republic.

Obama's "policies" are almost always attributed to an extension of President Bush's policies. That excuse is almost always automatic initially and, if it should work out for the best, he will gladly accept credit for it. Obama needs to "man up" for the policies that he advocates and take the CREDIT, whether for better or worse. He has created a government that shuns responsibility for decisions, ignores the tough problems, and are generally oblivious of the world around them. Hardly something to be proud of. When you look at all the corruption in our government, from selling congressional seats to obscene Weiners, shouldn't we be looking at cleaning house and without all of the media coverage of these "self serving public servants". America has a lot of work to do to lead the world's efforts to solve the myriad of problems facing our nation and the world. Weiners, seat salesmen, and others are an embarassment and not even worthy of mention - put our efforts where our livelihood is at stake.

LA CROSSE, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin will need a wet spring to put any kind of a dent in the drought.
That's according to meteorologist David Miskus of the U.S. Climate Prediction Center.
He says most of the annual rainfall takes places in the spring and early summer in this part of the country, so that's the critical period.
Washington County farmer Ross Bishop studies historical drought patterns. He says Wisconsin will need lots moisture from the winter snow melt, or else the plants won't be able to activate their deepest roots.
So far, the news is good in that regard. The National Weather Service said La Crosse had almost as much snow in December as it had during all of last winter. But Wisconsin is still in a considerable drought.
Thursday, the U.S. Drought Monitor said 88.5 percent of the state's land area is abnormally dry or worse. That's held steady in the past three weeks, but it's better than October – when 99.5 percent of the Badger State was in some form of drought.
As bad as it is here, experts say it's worse to our west and south. A stretch from South Dakota to Texas is in an exceptional drought – the Drought Monitor's worst category.
Milwaukee commodities' analyst Doug Houghton of Brock Associates says that region has some of the poorest winter wheat on record – and a good share of it might have to be abandoned.

"Both my fiance and I loved this card when it was sent to us as a sample, so we ordered it after showing our moms, who loved it just as much. The paper is not as thick as I was thinking but for the price it is perfect (we got the shimmer paper). The purple print looks beautiful."
"Really helpful and proactive advice from the designers (understanding exactly what we wanted), great quality product (we'd received several samples from other companies and were worried about the invites being flimsy, but these (on the premium thick card) are amazing)."
"We loved the invitation! Exactly what we were wanting for the outdoor country wedding. Just enough pizzazz but a relaxed feel."
"I ordered the Pearl Shimmer in pink. Lovely card... I ordered about 20 samples, and this card was the happiest of them all! The feeling that my Mom and I got when looking at this invitation was a kind of bubbly, happy, laughing joy. It also is simple, yet elegant and formal... a nice combination. The paper is thick, and the Pearl Shimmer adds an elegant touch (and makes the font easier to read). The font is a little small and would need to be enlarged during the personalization process."
"These wedding invitations turned out beautiful, I couldn't be happier. I had one small issue, called Customer Service and they went above and beyond to help me. Wedding Paper Divas is an awesome company with exceptional customer service!"

Lottie and Rose are two married women who share the misery of empty marriages and decide to rent an Italian castle for the spring to get away. In order to save money, they advertise for two other women to join them. Mrs. Fisher is an elderly widow who is struggling with a lonely and regimented existence. She jumps at the chance to join the vacation. Lady Caroline Dester is a gorgeous flapper who has been grabbed one too many times and believes that she is sick of men. They arrive in San Salvatore. The seaside Italian castle is drenched in wisteria and sunshine. The women find themselves in a transformative beauty so enchanting that they experience changes in themselves they never thought possible." CONSENSUS: "A charming tale of four women who find romance, hope and, ultimately, liberation during a month's holiday in an Italian villa overlooking the sea." MOTIVATION FOR ME TO SEE: Having seen this on TCM more than once, I am now interested in seeing the supplements and listening to the director's commentary. I came by my appreciation for actor Michael Kitchen in the PBS mystery series "Foyle's War," so it's nice to go back to 1992 to compare/contrast styles. [New purchase by HCL]

COVINGTON - For the second time, the Newton County School System has extended the deadline to apply to its new elementary and middle parent-involvement theme schools.School system officials announced Saturday that more theme school informational meetings are scheduled for this week and that the new deadline is now March 13. Originally, parents had until Feb. 6 to apply for their students to attend the schools, but since then NCSS has extended that deadline twice after not meeting its enrollment goals. In December, NCSS officials said they need a minimum of 450 students at the elementary theme school and 624 at the middle theme school to receive full state funding for the schools. As of Feb. 23 enrollment reports provided by NCSS, 537 students have applied to the elementary theme school and 208 students have applied to the middle theme school. This year, enrollment at each of the 13 public elementary schools in Newton County ranged from 450 to 930, and enrollment at each of the four county middle schools ranged from 715 to 1,415, according to an NCSS enrollment report from Feb. 5. After holding a series of informational meetings in January and February, school system officials plan to hold more this week. Parents and guardians are invited to meetings at 6:30 p.m. today at Indian Creek Middle School and 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Clements Middle School. A meeting was scheduled for Monday, but the inclement weather and school closings canceled it; Sherri Viniard, director of public relations at NCSS, said the meeting may be rescheduled but did not provide a time and date as of press time Monday. At these meetings, school officials will provide more information about the theme schools, including transportation, which was previously limited to those inside of the school zone. Now, "limited transportation will be provided on a limited basis to and from designated stops for the elementary and middle school theme schools," said Dr. Ken Proctor, director of the elementary curriculum at NCSS, in a press release. Officials also are adding that the middle theme school will focus on student leadership, in addition to parent involvement. Both schools also require parents to participate in a certain number of activities and require students meet a certain set of standards. At the meetings, school administrators also will meet with parents and students and answer any questions. Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday allowed former American International Group Inc
Greenberg's Starr International Co may pursue claims over the government's taking of a 79.9 percent stake in AIG in September 2008 and a separate 1-for-20 reverse stock split in June 2009, Judge Thomas Wheeler of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims said.
Wheeler nonetheless granted motions by the government and AIG to dismiss "derivative claims" that Starr had asserted on behalf of AIG shareholders, including over the insurer's refusal to help him pursue the lawsuit.
Starr once held a 12 percent stake in AIG, making it the largest shareholder of what had been the world's largest insurer by market value prior to the 2008 financial crisis. AIG eventually obtained a $182.3 billion federal bailout.

WASHINGTON (RNN) - The U.S. Supreme Court voted to strike down a 100-year-old Montana law which banned companies from contributing to political campaigns.
Monday's split decision reaffirmed the court's infamous 2010 decision in the Citizens United case, which overturned a federal ban on corporate spending for political candidates.
Since that decision, corporate spending on elections has skyrocketed, leading to accusations of companies throwing in enough money to heavily influence outcomes.
The court's majority opinion was unsigned and brief.
"The question presented in this case is whether the holding of Citizens United applies to the Montana state law," the opinion said. "There can be no serious doubt that it does.
"Montana's arguments in support of the judgment below either were already rejected in Citizens United, or fail to meaningfully distinguish that case."
Justices decided 5 to 4 to overturn the Montana Supreme Court decision without arguments.
Traditionally, it takes just four justices to force the court to hear a case.
However, dissenting justices wrote they didn't "see a significant possibility of reconsideration," with the majority of the court's stance on Citizens United, given the brief opinion smacking down the Montana law.
In a dissenting opinion penned by Justice Stephen Breyer, the minority agreed with the Montana Supreme Court that the state's history with corruption meant Citizens United was moot in their elections.
"Montana's experience, like considerable experience elsewhere since the court's decision in Citizens United, casts grave doubt on the court's supposition that independent expenditures do not corrupt or appear to do so," he wrote.
The court's decision to uphold its decision in Citizens United makes it unlikely the campaign finance law will be reviewed or challenged again in the near future.
Montana's voter-approved Corrupt Practices Act of 1912 said that corporations could spend money on ballot measures, not on specific political candidates.
The Montana Supreme Court had supported the state's 1912 campaign finance law on the basis that Montana had a history of corrupt corporate influence in politics. The state's history was considered especially relevant because the case dealt with state elections, not federal.
The Montana court had ruled the Citizens United decision applied only to federal elections.
In the Citizens United case, the court said "political speech does not lose First Amendment protection simply because its source is a corporation."
The decision overturned a federal ban, which kept corporations from donating to political candidates. It upheld a federal law that said corporate donors have to be named so voters are aware of who is trying to influence politics.

Understanding Mic Specs, Part 3
We've educated our blog readers on the importance of Operating Principles and Frequency Response as part of our "Understanding Microphone Specifications" video series and now, in Part III, we review Polar Pattern. A microphone's Polar Pattern defines how it responds to sounds coming from different directions. Understanding this specification will help you maximize pick up of desired sound sources, while minimizing feedback and background noise. Watch as we demonstrate mics with the following polar patterns: omnidirectional, unidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid and bidirectional.

As Cool Winds Blow, Psoriasis Flares
When the fall season approaches, this skin disorder can worsen. Here's how to cope.
By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario
As the hot, humid days of summer give way to cool autumn breezes, most folks breathe a sigh of relief. But this may not be the case if you suffer from psoriasis -- a chronic condition affecting the skin and joints of upwards of 4.5 million adults, as well as many children.
Indeed, as fall ushers in colder, drier air, psoriasis can worsen -- sometimes inviting more of the dry, scaly, itchy red patches associated with this condition to develop.
"The lack of humidity in the air allows the skin to retain moisture less well, and when that occurs, tiny cracks or fissures can develop on the surface of the skin," says Bruce Strober, MD, director of the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Center at NYU Medical Center in New York City.
Psoriasis most commonly appears on the scalp, knees, elbows, and torso but can develop more readily in areas where skin is traumatized or "broken." Strober says anything that causes that to happen -- like cool, dry air -- can also exacerbate the disease.
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, this irritating skin condition comes in several different forms with varying levels of severity. In nearly all cases, however, it begins when the normal system of cell turnover goes awry.
"Normally the top layer of skin makes itself over every 28 to 30 days -- the old cells are microscopically shed, while the new ones take their place," says Mark Lebwohl, MD, PhD, chairman of the department of dermatology at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City. In psoriasis, however, Lebwohl says that this natural process is sped up dramatically.
"In psoriasis, cells turn over as quickly as every two to three days," says Lebwohl.
The old cells don't shed off normally and new cells multiply so quickly they stick together and form lesions called patches or plaques. In the most common form of this condition, the end result can be dry, scaly, red, and sometimes itchy patches of skin. And the drier your skin gets, the worse the patches can look -- and feel.
The good news: Judicious use of moisturizer can make a huge difference -- particularly as the seasons change. Not only can this help keep tiny cracks in the skin from forming, it can also help the dry patches already there look and feel better.
"Continued use of a good penetrating moisturizer, as well a bath oil, is absolutely vital to controlling psoriasis in any weather, but particularly during dry, cold weather," says Milton Moore, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
In fact, getting moisture deep into the skin is so important that Moore used his degrees in pharmacy and medicine to develop a patent-pending pretreatment lotion known as "Hydroglide Pre Application Lotion." When applied to psoriatic plaques first, he says, studies presented before the American Academy of Dermatology showed it can help almost any moisturizer or topical medication penetrate more deeply.
Other doctors say any bland but greasy moisturizer will work it's way into the skin as well, as long as you apply a lot of it and use it often, particularly after bathing.
Stressful Seasons for Psoriasis
Although psoriasis is believed to be the result of an immune system malfunction, Lebwohl says there have also been a number of genes identified with this condition. And like most genetic conditions, he tells WebMD that there is also a unique, genetically determined time frame in which psoriasis is triggered into action, and it's different for everybody who has it. Still, he says, something does have to act as the initial trigger, and often, that "something" is stress.
Indeed, in a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 1988, doctors from the Baylor College of Medicine concluded that stress can not only trigger a psoriasis flare-up, but in some instances it may also play a significant role in the initial onset of the condition.
Since the fall season frequently kicks off an activity-packed school year -- stressful for parents as well as students -- it's not hard to see why this time of year can make psoriasis worse. Toss in a stress-filled holiday season, and some psoriasis patients can suffer well into the New Year.
But doctors say you can head off the effects of stress by engaging in some form of relaxation beginning at the start of the fall season. The Baylor research notes that several studies found hypnosis and biofeedback are effective stress reducers in some people with psoriasis.

- terrible and slow dinner serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014Terrible and slow service on a Saturday night which was strange because there wasn't that many people. Server tried to comp a drink or dessert after but we said no because we've waited a long time already. Would have appreciated if the server atleast assured us that we would be taken care of instead of trying to give things free, there were many times when the server dissapeared for long periods of time. Host seated us near the windows to make the place look busy when there were many nice booths available that im sure many guest would rather sit at. Our table was near the ac vent so it was cold throughout dinner. This is my third time at yoshi's sf and I guess they have new ownership. I wil not be back.Special Features:
- Timing was a problemOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014Was there for an 8:00 show, Of 6 dishes ordered only 3 came by show time. The rest was delivered to the show area. Otherwise, was a good experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food & MusiclkingVIPDined on 9/20/2014We went here for dinner and to see Macy Grey. The venue and food are excellent. As an added perk if you have dinner here before a concert you can reserve your seats.Special Features:
- Great nightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Sushi was good quality. I like the seasonal menu. Polar bear Roll was good. Miso soup was really tasty. The experimental hamachi tacos should have had either soft shell or have been fried in house. They were hard packaged shells. Service was friendly, she forgot a few small things but was attentive for the most part.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor service and food; great musicMikeTheKnifeVIPDined on 9/17/2014That pretty much sums it up. Far too few servers to keep everyone happy. Uninspired food. Overly expensive. But we saw some great jazz music for an extra $30.
- GOOD FOOD AND SERVICEJAZZFAN01Dined on 9/16/2014Came for dinner before seeing some live music. Beautiful building and decor. Innovative dishes carefully prepared. Friendly and attentive staff. I will go back for dinner and a show in the near future. The kale Caesar salad with miso infused dressing was different and delicious. The ahi tuna with a poached egg had flavors I had never encountered before, but the tuna may have been not as fresh as I would have liked, but still very tasty dish. The server's recommendations were all good choices.Special Features:
- Great pre-show dinnerpickyeaterDined on 9/12/2014Yoshi's San Francisco has far better food than Oakland. Ambiance is great - clean modern space with less crowded tables. Sushi menu had special one "From Tsukiji" with difference kind of sushi you can get in Japan. Other menu items are good - my husband enjoyed chicken and I ordered one of sushi rolls from regular menu. Dessert is sophisticated - green tea panna cotta and chocolate cake with black sesame ice cream. It was not cheap but I would come back before the concert.
- A horrible experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/7/2014If you attend a show at Yoshi's in San Francisco, do yourself a huge favor and eat elsewhere, or perhaps order food inside the show. We went there on a Sunday evening show and set up a reservation for 1.5 hours prior to showtime. We were seated quickly and our server came fairly quickly, but that was it for "quick." We were told that there were many menu items which were not available that evening - um, OK, although it was 7:30pm so hardly after a long dinner rush, but we could deal. We ordered edamame, miso soup, a couple appetizers, some nigiri and some rolls. Not extensive. After 20 minutes, we were told miso was out. The edamame came after 40 min, after we asked. The nigiri came after an hour. We cancelled the rolls after 1.25 hrs. Bad.
- Forget Yoshi'sAlwineDined on 9/6/2014This review is for the restaurant: Distracted servers, mediocre food, sake that came after the third inquiry and a hefty bill. This was supposed to be a nice dinner with our son on a Saturday night. The new owners don't seem to care, in the past Yoshi's used to be one of our favorite places. Take a look at the dirty and disarranged curtains when you are on Fillmore, that says it all. We left after the appetizers and went across the street to Sheba Piano Lounge. We had great live music, great atmosphere, servers where very attentive and food was super delicious.
- Good food, but priceyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/6/2014Plenty of other places you can get expensive sushi in SF. Service was slow and not a lot of folks there to dine. First and last time I will dine there. I'll stick to going there for good Jazz shows.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/30/2014terrible service. waiter did not check on us after our food was brought to the table. ordered edamame and it was never brought to the table. ordered one glass of wine and other waiter brought over two glasses, and then I was charged for both when the other was returned to the other waiter. waiter was slow in bringing the check and then was slow charging my card and I had tickets to the 10pm show. when I showed the waiter that he charged me for two glasses of wine, he seemed to get a attitude about it.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed in the food.Keiko415VIPDined on 8/30/2014We made dinner reservations at Yoshi's SF because we wanted to get reserved seating in the music hall. Unfortunately, the menu selections were much more limited than in prior visits. It seems they're in transition between the previous owner and the new ownership, and they haven't invested much in their dining offerings. The sushi rolls were ok, but the roasted brussel sprouts and their pork belly starter dishes were very mediocre. It made me not want to go back to Yoshi's San Francisco again.
- Needs improvementADinerVIPDined on 8/28/2014I am sure that the new owners will want to improve the appearance of the worn out seats that have patches in them and the amateurish service. The food was really great as usual. The service in the club was pretty awful. Cold coffee, soda water instead of tonic, a server who did not care at all.
- SLOWbjazz22Dined on 8/27/2014There was no hostess, which made it difficult to get seated. The waitstaff were taking turns manning the hostess stand. The food was great . . . when it arrived. I was there on a date so it was a little awkward when my entree showed up a full 5 minutes before my date's entree arrived. It also made us a little late for the show we were there to see.Special Features:
- Good Food, Small PortionsBronzerDined on 8/23/2014The food at San Francisco is good, but the portions are SO small, especially the appetizers. We ordered fish tacos and they were the size of my thumb. The salad greens were excellent. Excellent sushi. Service is relatively attentive but moderately slow. The food at Yoshi's in Oakland is better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quaint little spotWD50Dined on 8/23/2014Yoshi's is a wonderful, warm restaurant with very good food and a great atmosphere. The shows are exceptional. The acoustics are great, the setting very intimate and there's simply not a bad seat in the house.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okayChitChatDined on 8/23/2014I have always been a big fan of Yoshi's S.F. but things seemed to have changed. Atmosphere still great, but food was not that great. Our chicken was dry and it was served with some dry tasting cheese grits (WTH). We chose this because there were on 5 entrees to choose from. We did enjoy the kale salad and sushi but that's about it. I remember the menu being much more extensive. I wonder has the menu changed in Oakland also? To be so expensive, I'm scared to try. Next time we will eat before we go to a show.Special Features:
- far too long . . .wavidDined on 8/22/2014It has been far too long a time since I have visited Yoshi's, and the visit to the San Francisco venue was a first. The ambiance, energy, food and service were all first class, the convenience of parking was a welcome surprise. The music was excellent and well performed but the club felt over crowded - looking forward to future performances though.Special Features:
- Special night outrareniteoutDined on 8/15/2014We found outstanding service in accommodating a special needs food wise. However, the chicken was over cooked. The rest of the meal was excellent. I was closer to the neighboring guest than to my date which spoiled any intimacy and it was loud. I could hear other guest conversations, they were having to be really loud which drowned out our conversation. Our table was rocking due to unevenness in the floor bent table leg. Other than those items, we enjoyed a very rare night out.Special Features:
- owhyVIPDined on 8/15/2014Obviously changes going on. Menu is now very limited in food and wine options. Yoshi's continues to bring course too close together and sometimes out of order.....all correctible issues.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner and ShowFoodluvrDined on 8/15/2014Food is good, but not special for an SF eatery specializing in Asian cuisine. Good Sake list and moderately priced. Booking early dinner helps as things get hectic and the wait staff can get overwhelmed and forget things. Table next to us started later and had a few orders mixed up and not delivered with their dining partner's main course. In the music venue, one must choose their table well and be familiar with the seating. As a mature couple we do not like to sit on the high bar stools chairs. Tables with conventional chairs are tightly arranged so that can be a little uncomfortable. Lighting and sound system worked well and the Keiko Matsui group were outstanding to hear and watch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great night outrwarkovVIPDined on 8/14/2014Dinner and a show. Very good service. Food is good. Think of this as a package including the show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely evening, great foodHeatherDined on 8/9/2014The quality of fish is amazing. Entrees are not big so start with one of their scrumptious appetizers. Just sorry we didn't try the Guinness gelato...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Need to retrain wait staffAnotherPleaseDined on 8/9/2014Always loved going to Yoshi's, food's been great, really enjoy going from dinner to the jazz club. This time, however, the wait staff was totally checked out. Our two entrees showed up staggered in time, with no prior discussion with our waiter. My half-finished drink almost left the table as he picked it up off the table, looked at it, and then asked if I wanted another. The offer of dessert came so late in the meal that we didn't have time for it during our dinner despite having arrive almost two hours before showtime. Benign neglect would be the most charitable description of our treatment. I know they have new ownership, I hope this is an aberration and not indicative of the direction things are going to go from now on.Special Features:
- Yoshi's deliversSwedeDined on 8/9/2014Yoshi's continues to deliver a one stop night on the town. Easy nearby parking, delicious, interesting food (especially the appetizers) great sake and always friendly efficient service. The tables are visually interesting but not really conducive to sweet nothings conversation unfortunately. That said it still has a chic, romantic vibe. Then some great music in the nightclub and there's little more to ask for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- no organization and processstormnormDined on 8/8/2014The web site stated that if you have dinner reservations , the staff would reserve your seats for the concert show. That didn t happen. Some employees looked at me as if I was crazy. After talking with 4 different staff employees someone finally honored my request. The seat however was way in the back. The reserved spots were taken and if the process changed with this new so called mgmt then it should not be on their website. The hostess in dinner room was rude. and not helpful. very disappointed with their attitudes.Special Features:
- Concert venue is a+mariavDined on 8/8/2014The kale Caesar salad is delicious. Also ordered the chicken with polenta, another winner. It took an hour for us to get our salad and our entree was plated 15 min before the show started. Seemed a little long to wait for a party of 3. The food, when we finally got it was good but I felt I had to eat too quickly to enjoy it. We'll eat in the lounge next timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sushi BonanzaHortonDined on 8/8/2014All sushi offerings were outstanding, tasty, fresh, and not too pricy. Wait time was about normal, only complaint is you have to direct where your food goes when delivered.Special Features:
- SpaciousOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/1/2014It was awkwardly spacious. I assume it fills up but it was pretty empty for a Friday night. The food was amazing though and I'm pretty picky about my sushi. The grilled peach salad was also delicious. I would recommend it to a friend. Japanese food is expensive whether or not it's good so finding a quality joint is wonderful. I usually go to Ichi sushi b/c I know it's good but this place is so much closer to my house. A great find! Our server was attentive and the staff worked as a team. Maybe it was a coincidence but every time I asked for a suggestion the server suggested the most expensive item.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceHKUSDined on 7/31/2014Great sushi and sashimi; live jazz music; excellent service - worthy of return visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for pre-show dinnerger3sfDined on 7/31/2014While the food and service were good, I only go to Yoshis if going to the show afterwards. But with the change of ownershiip, will they be able to attract the good shows/artists as before.
- Pre performanceCream2puffVIPDined on 7/30/2014The food was better than expected. Good rolls. Big plates were so so. Friendly server. Comfortable ambience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Lovely evening.RiversongDined on 7/30/2014We drove to SF for a concert at Yoshi's and ate at the restaurant before the concert. It is a bit pricey but was elegant and delicious. We would eat there again (though we don't drive to SF very often).Special Features:
- Close to the showMarcDined on 7/29/2014Food is fine, but the best thing is that if you are going to a show there, and you go for dinner, they will reserve a seat for you at the show when you get there. That means you can eat up till 5 minutes pre show, and not have to worry about getting a seat... just getting your check.I would recommend this to a friend.
- What they had was good but...PhilDined on 7/26/2014What sushi the did have on the menu was fresh and very good, but they did not have some standard sushi items (ebi and unagi). Don't understand that. The food was also pretty pricey.
- the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/25/2014the food at yoshi was poor. i've eaten @ yoshi many times and its been a good experience,but not this time . the food was bland and teastless,i order a steak ($25 ) med . two times and it still was not right and everything on my plate was cold. sorry yoshi is off the list.Special Features:
- Great for special occasions!AnmiDined on 7/20/2014I chose Yoshi's for a romantic reunion night for my husband and I after being away for a month. The food was outstanding and it was so convenient to go next door to watch the show.Special Features:
- sushi and morefoodluvVIPDined on 7/20/2014My guest did not like sushi, so we went to other items. Arugula salad with peaches was fabulous, the dressing just right! I had the ahi tuna which was nicely prepared but served over cold noodles and sauce. It obviously had been sitting a long time waiting to be served - not too appetizing. My guest had monkfish which was served hot and was delicious. Server never asked if we wanted tea or dessert - just brought the check. Not the best for service. She was serving a large group as well so might have gotten overwhelmed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprisedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/20/2014I had been reading some reviews on-line and several were negative, I was a bit apprehensive as I was taking a group of 6 to enjoy a Blues Artist friends son from the UK. But the food was great, the service was great and the show was great. So things worked out, just goes to show you can't always take other people's word too seriously. I think sometimes the good experiences don't get as much attention as the bad ones. I was definitely glad we went there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and music venueWolfgDined on 7/19/2014What sets Yoshis apart is having a package for great food and great music. But each is an excellent standalone experience. Have eaten here a dozen times since they've opened, most in combination with a show and don't recall ever having a bad experience. Had superb service this Sat. by Nadia (her smile could light up the city) and an excellent array of appetizers, sushi, and salads. Actually think that the food has gotten better over the years. My only criticism, and it is minor, is that the menu is a little limited. Of course, with a more expansive menu, the quality might decline. Overall a terrific experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Mt. Juliet police credit a tip from a Channel 4 News viewer for helping them solve a recent rise in daytime home burglaries in the Clearview Estates neighborhood.
Christopher Bly, 39, and Keaton Garner, 21, both of Nashville, were spotted in Tunica, MS, and officers then arrested the pair once they returned to Nashville on an outstanding Coffee County warrant.
Each is now charged with three counts of aggravated burglary.
Harold Maddox said he has lived in the Clearview Estates neighborhood almost 30 years with no problems until he left his house on April 11 for a few hours to go fishing and the burglars hit.
"So much of the stuff belonged to my wife, and it was sentimental to her - especially the guitar being an anniversary gift, but they took a lot of cards that had nothing in them except cards," Maddox said.
The thieves grabbed plenty out his home and another house around the corner, including guns, jewelry, money and medications.
"I feel more sorry for them than I do me, because they are doing things they shouldn't be doing. And I pray someday they will change their ways," Maddox said.
Police said they are now in the process of trying to locate all of the stolen property, and once the items are located they will be returned to the homeowners.
Detectives also ask anyone who has recently purchased items from Bly or Garner to call the Mt. Juliet Police Department at 615-754-2550.

Coffee Holding Company Inc. Stock Upgraded (JVA)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- JVA's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.04 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, JVA has a quick ratio of 2.25, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- COFFEE HOLDING CO INC's earnings per share declined by 41.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, COFFEE HOLDING CO INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.37 versus $0.15 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.75 versus $0.37).
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 35.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 44.7%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Food Products industry and the overall market, COFFEE HOLDING CO INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for COFFEE HOLDING CO INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 12.10%. Regardless of JVA's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 2.99% trails the industry average.

New London — About 10 years ago, Russ DiNoto's Christmas tree outgrew him.
DiNoto, 64, a retired New London police officer and former chairman of the now-defunct New London Neighborhood Association, moved into his house on Washington Street in 1997 — the 1763 William Coit House — where an evergreen tree stood at just a little taller than 6 feet.
DiNoto said he used to host an annual Christmas tree-lighting party for the neighborhood, stringing the tree with lights and handing out ornaments for the children to decorate. He would bake cookies and have hot cocoa ready, even wear a Santa suit.
But when the tree grew too tall, DiNoto had to stop.
"It was too high for me to decorate," he said.
Now, towering at about 50 feet, DiNoto's tree stands on Parade Plaza in downtown New London, where Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio joined a large crowd of residents Saturday night to officially light the tree for New London Main Street's annual Celebration of Lights and Song.
Main Street had recently cut its $2,500 budget for the holiday event down to $250. DiNoto, a lifelong New London resident, said when he heard about the budget woes, he decided to chip in.
"I thought, let me do something nice for the city of New London," he said. "So I called everybody and I said, I have a big tree."
DiNoto said with the help of a crane and a bucket truck, his tree was transported downtown, where it found new admirers in the audience of revelers, milling about the skating rink Saturday night just before the big event in scarves, coats and the occasional Santa hat.
Carols old and new wafted from the sound system; the ISAAC School Swing Choir gathered beside the tree, ready to take over with their multicultural holiday tribute to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
DiNoto readied his camera phone just before 5 p.m. as Finizio prepared to flip a switch on an adjacent lamppost wired up to the tree, joined by Santa Claus and a cast of holiday characters from the Eastern Connecticut Ballet — the Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker.
Admiring the trimming handiwork — "It's beautiful," he said — DiNoto admitted he missed the days of being able to hold the celebration in his own yard, a tradition he said "kept the neighborhood together."
"It's a little sad, but giving to New London is better," he said. "It makes my heart feel good."
Finizio took the microphone in hand, moments before the tree would light up impressively golden and bright.
"And so, without further ado, for Christmas 2012, let there be light," Finizio said to a round of applause. "Happy holidays, and Merry Christmas."

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany State University honored community servants Thursday night while raising money to help students.
ASU hosted its first Community Service Award Banquet. It's a scholarship fundraiser. That money is certainly needed as the school expects record freshmen enrollment of about 1,100 this semester.
The community servants honored were SB&T President Mark Lane for his volunteer work and support of the university, along with ASU National Alumni Association President Davey Gibson who recently passed away.

TUCSON, AZ (TNN) – The thirtieth anniversary of Primavera Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to helping people out of homelessness and poverty, was both a celebration and a reminder of the work that still needs to be done.
"I feel good that there are so many people here doing so much in this community to try to make life better for people who really need our help. I feel bad because homelessness is still among us," said Primavera Foundation co-founder Gordon Packard as he stood among the crowded El Casino Ballroom Thursday.
"I despair that we could solve the whole problem, because frankly it's gotten worse in the 30 years we've been doing this work. But at least we all know we're going in the direction we think we should be," said Primavera Foundation co-founder Nancy Bissell.
"We continue to say how we can change the way we do business in our community to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home," said Primavera Foundation CEO Peggy Hutchison.
Hutchison pointed out that while half of Primavera's $6.5 million budget comes from federal funds, another quarter of the budget comes from private donations and the remainder comes from revenue that the foundation's own enterprises generate. Such diversity can help protect the foundation as the government continues to cut spending.
"In talking with Washington today, they weren't talking about providing new money. They were talking about the money that's out there, can we use it as efficiently as possible," said Tucson mayor Jonathan Rothschild.
"That's one of the issues we have to tackle as we figure a way to cut the deficit," said Congressman Ron Barber. "We cannot forget the people who are homeless, the people who have children who need education, low income families who need support."
"As the federal government unfortunately decides it's going to be less helpful with people in need, and I think it's wrong, Primavera is a model about survival," said Congressman Raul Grijalva.
