22 Tasting Notes
Oh. My. GOODNESS~ I am so excited I found this tea, and this company. I picked this tea and another blend (Vanilla Rose Ceylon) up on a whim at a book store in Boston this past weekend. I wasn't sure what to expect, but now that I've made a cup I have no regrets.
This tea is probably the most fragrant and most soothing herbal blend I have ever experienced. I was having terrible cramps and headaches and this healed me up right away. It's wonderfully floral in taste and has a smooth citrus body. The smell is incredibly soothing on it's own. Like lemon and lavender. It's very aromatic, but it doesn't have that horrible perfume taste like you would expect it to.
The whole blend is also organic. Most of the herbs used are grown in the USA. The tin and bags they are in are also made of recycled material. Sustainable tea!
The tin is also super cute. That was what caught me initially, and I'm so glad I stuck with the choice.
Flavors: Flowers
Tea one of my cabinet clean out!
One of my first David's blends ever. I remember being really into it, but now that I am revisiting it I'm a little underwhelmed. The aroma is amazing; strongly chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. No sign of mate. After steeped however, it tastes nothing of chocolate or cinnamon and is instead watery and bitter. Carob is noted in the blend, and that type of chocolate bitterness is definitely present in junction to the bite of mate, which i typically like. There is also this kind of dry, powder aftertaste you get on your tongue. If you are looking for a chocolate tea, this is not what you are looking for.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Dark Bittersweet
I love this tea because no matter how hard you try, you actually can't burn it. It's indestructible. And also, delicious. It's got a really nice floral sweetness to it; more like a light hint of nectar than a really aromatic flower. There's also notes of hay and newly grown grass. It's got a very "spring air" kind of flavour to it, kind of like how it smells after a drizzle.
I am a big fan of straight white teas. I want to try more, but typically they are expensive and my wallet glares at me when I try to buy them so I don't own many besides this. I love it and am heart broken that it's been removed from the David's collection.
Flavors: Gardenias
Had my last cup of this very recently. May it rest in peace… I really liked this blend. It was one of the few chocolate blends that stuck with me. It was very well balanced between tea and blended additions. Tasted wonderfully of coconut, cinnamon, and chocolate all in one, but the black tea flavour was still present throughout the cup. It was a great "curl up with a book in a blanket" tea. I often wonder if I will every find anything like it again.
Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon, Earth
I am not much of a black tea person. I don't do well with high astringency teas because they give me headaches, regardless of how tasty they might be. That is exactly why I love this tea.
It was actually the first Yunnan I knowingly had. No classic black bitterness to it at all. It's got a lovely earthly taste, almost like a sweet sort of malt to it. I was sad when I got to the end of my tiny sampler tin of this. I just wanted to keep drinking it forever. I've had some other Yunnan's that I'm pretty fond of, but this will forever hold a place in my heart as being my first.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Earth
This tea was SO GOOD. I had my last cup recently, and lamented it greatly. It's a beautifully smooth blend of coconut and mint. It's got a great sweetness to it. Reminded me of those multi-color melting mint candies I used to eat all the time as a kid. You can steep this forever and it only gets better. I'm gonna miss it.
Simpson and Vail has a version of this commissioned by a Steepster member.
I was initially skeptical going into this tea for it's medicinal values. I've had it several times, and while the flavour is good I never noticed much of the proclaimed relaxation effect that it boasts. Valerian root doesn't work on me all that well. I never get tired from it. If anything , it has an adverse effect and keeps me up. I have a pretty sever anxiety disorder, and almost nothing but medication fixes it when I'm in crisis mode.
I was out of my usual vice a few weeks ago and not only was I an anxious mess, but had a raging head ache. I was desperate, and after realizing that my chamomile was stale, I decided to give this a whirl. To my complete surprise, a 16 oz cup later and I was feeling a lot better. I had stopped clenching my jaw and jittering, and I will admit I was kind of at peace with everything while I was engaged with this cup of tea.
As for flavour, it's actually pretty extraordinary for an herbal tea. I'm not a big herbal fan, but this blend of chamomile and rosehips and peppermint really balances itself out well. There's not too much of anything happening at once. Aside from the mint flavour that permeates throughout, there is a lovely hint of citrus that adds a touch of something exciting with each sip. They do a fantastic job of covering the the Valerian root stench. It's a very accurate nose to cup, and I enjoyed every sip of it. I do believe this has become one of my at home staples.
Flavors: Flowers, Lemon Zest
I don't understand the craze over this blend. I absolutely hate it. It's aroma is totally misleading giving off that delicious spice and apple and nuts and… it tastes nothing like that. I find it to be overly sweet, but at the same time boring. There's little to no nuance to it, it's either sweet or tastes like hot water. It might just be my tastes; I personally prefer tea leaf to herbals. But I'm always willing to give them a go. I'm sorely disappointed in this blend. It's just nuts in a cup covered in beetroot.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Nuts
A bit on the smokey-cream side. I still personally prefer David's Milk Oolong over this version if I am going to have a flavour altered oolong, though when tasted next to one another there are many similarities. This one doesn't have the clean and airy mouth feel that the other does. Still, a pretty good brew. My boyfriend's a big fan, and I love the design of the tin.

Xenophobia and Remembrance Day
You'd think there's no connection between Remembrance Day and immigration. Not so, according to the Daily Express
For those not sure about Remembrance Day and what it represents for some people, a look at Leo Mckinstry's piece ("Today, in a nation that has lost its history, the white cliffs have no such resonance") in the Daily Express may shed some light. He makes a dazzling connection between the fact that soldiers sacrificed their lives during WWII and the fact that, since then, Britain has become host to generations of immigrants. Of course, Mckinstry omits to say that people also emigrated to France, Germany, Belgium and many other countries, but perhaps if he did he wouldn't be writing for the Express.
He wonders why "the union flag is seen as an offensive symbol of xenophobia". As he rejects that foreign-sounding word, xenophobia, he writes that "our once green and pleasant land" is now "surrounded by foreigners with whom [the Britons have] no sense of mutual belonging or trust" and live in "cities turned into modern Babels full of discordant tongues and wailing mosques". "The very idea of British citizenship", he adds, "has been rendered meaningless by the twin malign forces of the EU and mass immigration".
However, the Express columnist may be cheered up by an email we've received from a Spanish reader called Gustavo who shows genuine empathy about living in a country "that has lost its history", "swallowed up by mass development" and invaded by "foreigners".
"Dear Mr Mckinstry,
Please excuse my English but I am a Spanish citizen. I read your article in the Express and I understand exactly where you're coming from. First let me say, like yourself, I am not a xenophobe. However, we too are losing our history. Like many from his generation, my grandfather sacrificed his life during the Spanish Civil war. But if he was alive now I don't know if he'd cheer or weep. All over the country, from Costa Brava to Costa Dorada, through to Costa Blanca and Andalusia, we have been invaded by at least 800,000 (and still counting) Britons. Apparently, they have programmes on their national TV that promote the idea of snatching our property and even building from scratch on Spanish land. That may explain why they arrive in droves, even in winter, and many decide to stay. And I worry if they are bringing disease, because at all hours you can spot them being sick in our once proud and quaint towns.
Our police officers don't know where to begin because, when they don't get jiggy in the street, those invaders often become very rowdy, fight and smash bottles on each other's head. Like you said in your article, those immigrants have no sense of belonging to our land. None of them bothers to pick up the language apart from the word "cerveza". You mention your "wailing mosques" and I know what you mean cos we have entire towns where clubs full of Brits whack some sort of incessant beat until the early hours of the morning. My grandfather would have mistaken it for an air raid siren.

Eight Years Later: A Crossroads
On this day eight years ago, a perfect storm of events changed the life of one unlucky Cubs fan and further perpetuated the losing mentality that has plagued Chicago's north side for over a century.
I, myself, am at fault for allowing complacency and acceptance of defeat to inhabit my mind and deflate my spirit. A lifelong Cubs fan and pessimist, I am uncharacteristically pleading for those of you who bleed Cubbie blue to help remove the stigma attached to the longest-suffering franchise in sports.
Let today, the 8th anniversary of game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, be a crossroads.
While the Cubs usher in a determined, experienced general manager and attempt to turn the page on a century's worth of anguish and futility, fans of the "lovable losers" should seize this metamorphic phase and alter their perceptions.
Sure. It's been 103 years since the northsiders have won the Fall Classic. Realistically, you and I could be well removed from this earth when—and if—the Cubs finally bring a World Series trophy to the Windy City.
At the same time, Cubs fans, no matter the age or level of fandom, possess two things: faith and doubt.
The aforementioned items often go hand in hand with reason; however, it seems that Cubs fans often lack sensible reasoning. Instead, they demonstrate two extremes:
- An unwavering faith and belief in their ball club. Year after year, no matter what the circumstances, thousands of fans continue to fill the friendly confines and support the Cubs.
- An unshakable and deeply rooted doubt that things will change. Don't lie. When Bartman touched the infamous foul ball in 2003, the thought crossed your mind. Oh no. Not again. You had seen it happen before, be it in 1969 or 1984. Admittedly or not, the Curse of the Billy Goat weighs on the minds of Cubs fans and is often used as an all-too-convenient crutch.
The Rickett's family can pump millions of dollars into the organization, Theo Epstein can assemble the best front office in baseball and the Cubs' farm system can reign supreme, but the Cubbies will never cast aside the 103-year old shadow unless fans make a conscious effort to change their thinking.
Shed the losing mentality by dismissing the "lovable losers" moniker. You might love watching them and they may not win many games, but disassociating the Cubs from failure is vital in writing a new, more successful chapter of Chicago sports history.
And instead of aimlessly throwing support behind the team, use an adapted form of Bill James' theory of sabermetrics. You may as well familiarize yourself with it because Epstein will be implementing the methodology in the north side for at least the next five years.
Analytically, the rebuilding process that the Cubs are undergoing is one that will take some time. High expectations in Chicago should be reserved for the Bulls and Blackhawks. Be realistic. No team whose starting second basemen is best known for being a lovable purple dinosaur will be making noise in October any time soon.
But don't let that discourage you. It is an exciting time to be a Cubs fan.
At long last, it appears that ownership and management are dedicated to making changes and moving towards assembling a competitive and competent ball club.
Keep having faith in your Cubbies. Just focus less on curses and losses and who made what mistake.
Instead, focus on the progress the team is making and that those positive strides will eventually allow the 'W flag' to fly proudly and often.

Life News - Supreme Court Appears Ready to Throw Out Obamacare Law
by Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com
The nation's highest court today held a hearing on one of the most contentious portions of the Obamacare law that is opposed by pro-life groups because of rationing and abortion funding concerns — the individual mandate. . . .
"The questions raised by Justice Kennedy indicate a growing concern about the constitutionality of the individual mandate," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "While you can never predict the outcome of a Supreme Court case based on oral arguments, it is very encouraging that it appears a majority of the Justices understand that requiring Americans to purchase health insurance raises significant constitutional questions. The concerns were clear: if the government is permitted to force Americans to purchase health insurance, where do you draw the line? Most Americans don't want ObamaCare and we're hopeful that a majority of the Justices declare the entire health care law, including the individual mandate, unconstitutional.". . .
Towards the end of the argument the most important question was Justice Kennedy's. After pressing the government with great questions Kennedy raised the possibility that the plaintiffs were right that the mandate was a unique effort to force people into commerce to subsidize health insurance but the insurance market may be unique enough to justify that unusual treatment. But he didn't overtly embrace that. It will be close. Very close. See audio and transcript of today's arguments. . . .

A brutal assessment of the GOP's budget plan.
The new Ryan budget is a remarkable document — one that, for most of the past half-century, would have been outside the bounds of mainstream discussion due to its extreme nature. In essence, this budget is Robin Hood in reverse — on steroids. It would likely produce the largest redistribution of income from the bottom to the top in modern U.S. history and likely increase poverty and inequality more than any other budget in recent times (and possibly in the nation's history). It also would stand a core principle of the Bowles-Simpson fiscal commission's report on its head — that policymakers should reduce the deficit in a way that does not increase poverty or widen inequality.Specifically, the Ryan budget would impose extraordinary cuts in programs that serve as a lifeline for our nation's poorest and most vulnerable citizens, and over time would cause tens of millions of Americans to lose their health insurance or become underinsured. It would also impose severe cuts in non-defense discretionary programs—much deeper than the across-the-board cuts ("sequestration") that are scheduled to take place starting in January — thereby putting core government functions at still greater risk. Indeed, a new Congressional Budget Office analysis that Chairman Ryan himself requested shows that, after several decades, the Ryan budget would shrink the federal government so dramatically that most of what it does outside of Social Security, health care, and defense would essentially disappear.
Yet alongside these extraordinary budget cuts, with their dismantling of key parts of the safety net, the budget features stunning new tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. These tax cuts would come on top of the average tax cut of more than $125,000 a year that the Tax Policy Center (TPC) estimates that people who make over $1 million a year will receive if — as the Ryan budget also proposes —policymakers make all of President Bush's tax cuts permanent.
There's a lot more — Greenstein calls this a "Scrooge-like, Gilded-Age" budget plan — but I think you get the gist. If I had to boil this assessment down to a single word, I think I'd choose "inhumane," with "immoral" running a close second.
"It's worth noting that Greenstein is not a wild-eyed ideologue or partisan bomb-thrower; he's one of Washington's most respected budget experts," comments Steve Benen. "He's not prone to hyperbole or rhetorical excesses, so when Greenstein uses language like this, it's only because of the unusual extremism of the policy agenda itself."
Seriously, if you're not fabulously well-to-do and you support the Republican budget plan, then you're a world class chump. There is no other way to put it.

Editor's Note: This feature will post every Friday. We'll bring you nuggets from the locker room, scouting reports on the upcoming game, reader e-mail and more.
LeSean McCoy took heavy breaths in between sentences, his forehead glistening with sweat from extra conditioning work after practice.
On the surface, everything is good for the 25-year-old running back. At the halfway point of the season, he's the NFL's leading rusher (733 yards). He's carrying the ball more than ever (19.5 times per game). And he's averaging a healthy 4.7 yards per carry.
Yet McCoy is in the midst of a mental tug of war in his fifth NFL season. In the past four games, he's averaging 3.4 yards per carry. The Eagles' offense has scored just three points the last two weeks, failing to hit on explosive plays and finding difficulty in sustaining drives.
"Just more attention to really try and contain the backs, keep everything in front of them," McCoy said when asked this week about opposing defenses. "The backers are way more into the line than usual. And everything just seems so cluttered, seems so packed. That's probably the biggest difference I've noticed. Even on some of the fakes, if it's a half-fake or an average fake, they're all on it. So that's probably the biggest difference I've noticed from just early in the season to the last couple weeks."
Defenses game-plan for the Eagles and make No. 25 their first priority. With a shaky QB situation and one true dangerous threat in the passing game in DeSean Jackson, it's really a no-brainer. But that has led to tough times for McCoy, who has been critical of himself after each of the last two games. Read more »

Sleepless Nights and Cigarettes0 Reviews
Franks getting bigger still and his back isn't liking it.........
A few months Later
Franks POV
"Geeeeeee!" I whine like a bitch. There i said it but my fucking spine is being stretched and mini me or little bean or whatever you wanna call it hates me, hates me so much, he or she is trying to have me killed, by her or him self. Normally i'd have a nice cigarette. But fucking no, my insecure for no apparent reason boyfriend says it's harmful to our creation. Our murderous, dangerous little offspring. It wouldn't shock me if they arrived with claws and huge teeth and green skin, like something out of attack the block or darth vaders little sibling. Wow, that would be cool actually. But yeah, i am excited. Really i am, just not enjoying this stage right now. How women cope with it i don't know. Not that they're weaker then men or anything, but it's pretty common to come across women with more than one child. Like seriously? Go through the cigarette virginity and crippling back pain over and over again? No thankyou.
"Lie down, you need to relax. I'll get some lotion and you can have a nice footrub." Gerard smiles at me like i'm his granddaughter who has a stomach ache or something. I guess i have to be grateful though don't I? Not like i can hide i appreciate his gesture, but all i really want is a cigarette and something like a tequila shot or a Jamesons. I can almost smell the tar burning away, the ash glowing and then tumbling through the air as it falls to the floor.... Wait, i can smell smoke. It's not me unfortunately. Fuck me sideways and call me maybe! "Gerard Arthur Way!" I scream, ignoring my pain and bursting into the bathroom. " You cheat! You liar! Urrr!" I scream as he stands there trying to keep his cigarette away from my eyes. " I can see it! I can see it! You said you'd quit with me you bastard!" I'm running at him until, a gush can be heard and my pyjama bottoms are drenched.
Gerards POV
"Frank! Oh Holy fucking hell! Okay, Just breathe, deep breaths go slowly, i'm going to call an ambulance and then they'll help us okay?" I turn to run to the phone but he grabs my arm.
"You fucking got me here! If you hadnt started that fucking art teaching job and made yourself look nice so i'd like you! Or if you skipped off with Malibu Barbie i'd still be slim and a smoker! And i'd be drunk off my tits right now! And i don't even have tits! I'm not due for another six weeks!" He wails as he starts to cry. His hormones have been getting worse too.
"I'll be right back." I have to pull myself away and frantically call for an ambulance before returning to him. He punches me in the face, and somehow i tumble into the bath tub. And then, everything seems to fade to black.

Great shoes. Nice and light, really comfortable, look great with the Congos, Jet Blues, and Graham Slackers.
They're a little darker than they look in the photo, which is nice. I'm wearing these today for the first time with a navy suit (bootcut pants), and the burnished look matches up well with the suit fabric. For some reason, the laces seem to untie easily. But the real rub is that they run pretty big -- like, at LEAST half a size big. I'm 6'1", and usually, a 11.5 dress shoe fits me snug as a glove...tennis shoes, I'm a 12. But I'm wearing these boots at 11.5 and there is a LOT of room in the toe and back at the heel (which means my feet have been doing a lot of sliding around). I'm nit-picking here, of course, and overall, these are solid. I'm not returning them. They're just not spectacular.
These boots blew me away with how nice they are. Easily my go-to pair of chukkas when I need something clean and good looking that matches with everything. You might not expect it, but the shoes are incredibly comfortable and form to your foot. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and pick up a pair. You won't regret it.

- AmazingsonianatashaDined on 9/13/2014I have eaten at many fancy restaurants (it's a favorite thing to do), and this is one of the best meals I've had. We watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" before we went, and were then primed to enjoy the experience even more. I can't wait to go back one day.Special Features:
- Way overratedFoodoctorDined on 9/6/2014This is NOT even close to being one of the best Japanese/sushi restaurants in NYC. It's all a PR trap sushi is ok no more than that for $500 for 2 you would expect it to be superb - it's not !!! Sushi is not bad but that's not enough should be at least in line with best sushi places like Yasuda, Gari and Tanoshi. NOT WORTH IT - JIRO WOULD COMMIT HARAKIRI IF HE WOULD KNOW THIS IS COMPARED TO His TOKYO Restaurants' SUSHI AND QUALITY !!!
- Best. Meal. Ever.josephoDined on 9/5/2014This sushi is out of this world. Sit at the bar if you can and enjoy watching the master chefs make the most interesting fish you will ever eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeNodrakDined on 8/23/2014Simply the best omakase experience I have had in New YorkSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Once Is EnoughKennyVIPDined on 8/23/2014My wife and I dined here for to celebrate her birthday. The $150 Kaiseki menu includes 21 pieces of Sushi. The fish quality is good, but not exceptional. The sushi pieces were small. The only other thing that's included is a very basic sorbet dessert. Nothing else. They charged us $12 for sparkling water even dough we didn't really get our own bottle. They just filled our glasses half way a few times. The $40 sake pairing for 6 tastings was reasonable although they seemed to be be a little stingy with the quantity they poured. Chef Nakazawa is a very friendly guy and the rest of the staff is very professional. We don't regret our dining experience here, however we don't see any reason to dine here again.Special Features:
- Great experienceMistaMilesDined on 8/22/2014One of the best sushi experiences in the city. Chef Nakazawa made the experience fun and interacted with all the guests at the sushi bar. The sake pairing was a great accompaniment and enhanced the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!!!foodievickieVIPDined on 8/12/2014This is the ultimate sushi place! The best we have ever had. The sake pairing is also terrific. Not easy to get into but worth every dollar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014What a great meal. By far and away the best sushi in NYC. Everything i had was full of flavor. Wish i could afford to eat there once a week, yes it really is that good definitely worth wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent fresh sushiMichelleDined on 7/26/2014Very attentive staff and delicious Perfect for a special occasionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SublimeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/25/2014All of your senses are treated in a special way at Nakasawa. The warmth if the staff, the smoothness of the surroundings only enhance the best sushi I ever tasted. The patron gets the benefit of the bargain at Chef Nakasawa's Place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Closest to Original Japanese SushiOlympusDined on 7/24/2014Having been a sushi fanatic and a partner who enjoys quality food, I knew this would be a must. Nakazawa, himself, had been very welcoming. Throughout the entire service, he would present each intricate piece of heaven upon our marble slabs. He would occasionally crack jokes which would deteriorate any kind of "too serious" environment as stated in Jiro's restaurant. The other chefs, other than preparing the dining rooms pieces, had communicated with us as well. The service from all the host/hostess were phenomenal. Constant check-ups and reassurances are short of an understatement. All in all, I would suggest this restaurant if you can't make it to japan and are eager to experience a fine sushi establishment. I will be returning !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EatpinionEatpinionDined on 7/18/2014Not worth the hype. Sushi was "good" but nothing out of this world. Maybe 4 out of the 22 piece omakase sushi was "wow". Save your money!!!Special Features:
- Fantastic!WurdioDined on 7/17/2014Went here for the first time two nights ago after luckily scoring a reservation three days before! This place is all it's cracked up to be and lives up to the hype. Will you love every single piece you put in your mouth? I think that's impossible with a 20+ course meal, however you will love most of them! Chef Nakazawa creates a wonderfully fun environment with him and his crew on both sides of the bar. He clearly loves what he is doing as he takes you on an incredible culinary journey. Ours took us from Maine to North Carolina to California, up the coast to Seattle, to Alaska and across the pacific to the Bay of Japan and Hokaido. So many textures and flavors, easily some of the best pieces of sushi I've ever had...truly a memorable night!Special Features:
- my take on sushi nakazawa14thStreetFoodieDined on 7/17/2014I liked the actual sushi bar and was very comfortable sitting in the comfortable leather chairs. The premium sake pairing was amazing. It was also enjoyable to watch Nakazawa's soldiers behind the bar but, I must say, Sushi Nakazawa has nothing on my favorite sushi places which are Ushiwakamaru, 15 East and Sushi Dojo. Nakazawa pot some truffle something on this beautiful sea urchin so you couldn't even appreciate the taste of the sea urchin itself. He also put a torch on the giant clam which gave the same effect of not being able to appreciate that beautiful piece of giant clam. I also didn't like this assembly line leading up to Nakazawa shaping and delivering the sushi. I'll stick to sitting in front of Hideo, Masa and Sushi Dave.
- Absolutely fantastic.littlearwenDined on 7/1/2014Totally worth the $150+. Amazing sushi, perfect sake pairing, excellent service and it's totally worth getting a seat at the sushi bar to see chef Nakazawa in action and engage with him.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great omakaseAwesomeDined on 7/1/2014Huge sake selection! The omakase is pretty good, probably the best in NYC. Still it's not as good or comparable with tokyo's best. The consistency of the rice and the presentation of the sushi could be way better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best sushi ever!FoodspotVIPDined on 6/26/2014Although the last time I went in the dining room and the sushi was a little bit better than OK, I was pleasantly surprised that the level of quality at the sushi bar is far greater than the sushi served in the dining room. Really outstanding! And the chef is a very pleasant person. I was already trying to arrange another dinner for few weeks later at the sushi bar before I finished my dinner. But of course, they are fully booked. Although 2 seats next to me were empty that night... They need to improve in their phone service. Not easy to get them on the phone.Special Features:
- well worth the wait and moneyidreamofsushiDined on 6/22/2014Dining at Sushi Nakazawa is a humbling, out of this world experience. From the first to the last sushi served in this 20-course omakase, you are in for a treat as an explosion of colours, tastes and sensations greet and whisk you away into sushi heaven. Forget all the sushi that you've had and thought you love, you will be dreaming of sushi once the night is through. Be forewarned: it is incredibly difficult to secure a reservation, which you can make for multiples of two each time (30days in advance—online reservations given priority). You will not be able to choose what goes on your plate but rest be assured that the experience will be different and novel each time as only the freshest catch make it to their carefully curated menu.Special Features:
- Worth all the hypeValpalVIPDined on 6/10/2014Yes, this is the famous Jiro Dreams of Sushi apprentice. Yes, getting reservations means playing the midnight-wait game. And yes, high quality sushi is trending beyond belief these days. But all those points aside, Sushi Nakasawa is so incredibly worth it. First, the restaurant itself is beautiful. The bar, especially, is gorgeous. Second, Chef Nakasawa is adorable and such a fun man to watch. Get a reservation at the bar -- watching him make every piece of sushi and being able to enjoy each piece the way it was meant to be experienced made this meal one of the best I have ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blown away!FOHgirl519Dined on 6/9/2014Hands down one of my favorite dining experience ever! I don't think the quality of that sushi is matched anywhere in the city. It's a fun interactive experience to sit at the sushi bar. The only thing is we did the premium sake pairing and you're poured the same amount for one piece of sushi or for five pieces. I would have appreciated being offered a splash more for the pairings meant to last for several pieces. This is a must go!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PERFECTliv2eatDined on 5/24/2014Food was amazing, service was outstanding, decor was modern but the overall feel was not pretentious at all. Alessandro was warm and welcoming. Could not have asked for a better dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 23 reviews are from the Sushi Nakazawa - Sushi Bar reviews archive.
- Amazing!KalenoDined on 5/21/2014We had a great experience with Chef Nakazawa, very friendly and polited! We had the omakase with the sake tasting, and was a great choice! All sushis were fantastic! If you are a foreigner as I am, I would suggest you to learn some fish names for a better experience. The ambience is another thing to contemplate, very confortable and cozy. I also suggest to book at the Sushi Bar, as the experience to see the sushimen working and using their skills is an experience of a lifetime! Loved all sushis!Special Features:
- PhenomenalZak7VIPDined on 5/15/2014Mr. Nakazawa does an amazing job. Food was incredible, pacing was great. He was laughing and smiling the whole time, created a great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sushi NakazawaHanoverFistDined on 4/16/2014If you are a fan of "Jiro Dream's of Sushi," this is the sushi experience for you. You must book 30-days in advance for a place at the 10-seat Sushi Bar, hosted by Mr. Nakazawa himself. A preset, 20-piece gastronomical explosion of sushi flavor practically unmatched anywhere. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's elaborate and over the top. And yes, it is definitely worth every penny. We paired our dinner with the premium Saki flight menu, which only intensified the experience overall.Special Features:
- It Melts!honeytushDined on 4/16/2014We arrived around 5 PM, and I knew we'd have to wait before we could be seated. So, my friend and I stood outside and took many pictures. The location was so great. It was quiet, and it made us able to wait around the street without worrying fast pace cars. The service was SO GREAT! I never had anyone show so much patience and deliver so much KNOWLEDGE about the fish we were eating. It was good too because they were able to converse with us and make us understand the food since Nakazawa's english is still sometimes hard to understand. They were my idea of a true great service. Nakazawa was WONDERFUL! He always smiled and made me feel like I was important and welcomed. He made his fellow chefs feel special too. Loved it! LOVED THE SUSHI!Special Features:
- Nakazawa is the BESTOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/14/2014Sushi Nakazawa is by far the best sushi restaurant we have ever experienced. It is a chic, fine dining, great tasting restaurant. I love everything about this place. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted and seated. They do not miss a beat. We sat at the Omakasa bar where Mr. Nakazawa was working his magic. He is so friendly and personal which made it ever so more the very best. He's funny and attentive. We were very pleased and appreciate the opportunity to have dined here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZING EXPERIENCE!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/14/2014The sushi is amazing! The best I've ever had, and it's a very intimate experience with Nakazawa. You see him doing what he does best, and get to interact with him. Definitely an experience of a lifetime!Special Features:

- Worth itsash0kDined on 4/4/2014Saw Jiro. Had my 5th anniversary coming up. Got 2 seats at the bar on our second night trying. Nakazawa is a charmer. The fish is exceptional and adventurous. Even the seasoned sushi eaters at the bar were impressed. Squirming scallop, uni, mackerel, and fatty tuna were the best pieces in our lot. Sake pairing will get you toasty too. Service A++. If it's an experience you're looking for, you'll get it here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nakazawa can dream toOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/3/2014Chef Nakazawa was very attentive on every single piece he served, the fish seemed to have jumped out of the sea and into your plate, the best of its class as it was hand picked by himself personally. The rice was apparently the best quality as it was flown directly from Japan and bred into 4 different qualities of rice and made into one. Chef nakazawa was very entertaining in the hour and a half of the meal. For food, service,quality, I give this place 3 marks out of a possible 4. For the experience a 4 out of 4 marks.Special Features:

- OverratedRyanPDined on 3/25/2014Too much sauce and the most of sushi were too salty. I seated at the sushi bar and high chair/ ambiance was not fit for top sushi restaurant. Basically too pricey for the experience.Special Features:
- Best sushi ever!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/20/2014Was easily the best sushi my wife and I have ever had and we eat a lot of sushi. Sake pairing was awesome as well.

- OutstandingAsheVIPDined on 3/15/2014We were lucky to secure a reservation on a Saturday night at the Sushi Bar. From beginning to end, the presentation, service, and most of all each sushi course, we were delighted with the quality and taste of everything we ate that night. We were also pleased with the sake recommendation we were given, and would be excited to return if able to get another reservation.Special Features:
- The Sushi is very good. ChefOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 3/14/2014The Sushi is very good. Chef Nakazawa is friendly. But, considering how difficult to make a reservation here and the price, I do not think it is worthwhile. Sitting sushi bar is the best if you dine at a sushi restaurant, but here, Chef Nakazawa is running a show like Benihana. He is nice enough to tell us where the fish is from, but no further communication like the one you expect at the sushi counter. The show is run strictly in accordance with the schedule, and sitting at the sushi bar does not make much different from sitting at a table. Again, the sushi is good, but not a type of restaurant I am inclined to come back. If Chef Nakawaza opens his own restaurant (not as an employee chef), he may run the place differently.Special Features:
- Sat at the bar, had omakaseravensarrowVIPDined on 3/13/2014Sat at the bar, had omakase + sake pairing. The regular pairing didn't impress me, but it did the job. Had fun with Nakazawa and the staff in both Japanese and English. Everyone was very polite. The food was absolutely delicious, and that's coming from a discerning sushi lover. (The only thing I didn't love was the grouper.) Decor was alright, but the chairs really crowd the bar, and it's hard to get in and out of them without help, which is a little awkward. We had a great time regardless, so kudos to everyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingBZfoooodDined on 3/11/2014This is as good as it gets for Sushi. A must go for anyone who can get a reservation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Pieces of heaven ;)TienDined on 3/10/2014My experience was amazing. The staff was phenomenal. Everyone was very helpful, polite and courteous. Chef Nakazawa is easy easy going and playful. As each piece was plated, it was pieces of heaven that just uplifted the my sense for more. I highly recommend the sake pairing. It made such a difference. Truly one of the best meals I have ever had. Simplicity at its finest. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will be visiting again and hopefully sometime soon.Special Features:

Agents cant keep hands off drug evidence
December 1, 1998
When federal agents broke the "Blue Thunder" heroin ring in New York City, they snared 34 men suspected of reaping millions in drug profits between 1986-1991.
Yet it turns out the biggest crooks included at least two agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration who were involved in the arrests.
As members of a multi-agency task force, the agents, through illegal arrests and seizures, succeeded in enriching their own lives while destroying the lives of innocent people.
And prosecutors withheld information on the investigation of the agents during the trials of several targets of the Blue Thunder probe violating the defendants rights to information for their defense.
For example, Alfred Bottone was charged with being one of the leaders of the heroin conspiracy, but he never learned during his trial that the very officers who investigated him were being investigated themselves.
In fact, one of the agents would eventually end up in the same prison as Bottone, who is serving a life sentence.
Sammy Shalikar and his brother-in-law also were nailed by the Blue Thunder task force. Theyd both fled Iran in 1979 and founded Gallery 2000, a successful jewelry store in the Bronx.
On June 22, 1992, drug task force officers used false evidence to obtain a search warrant for Shalikars Great Neck, Long Island, home and his jewelry store, where several bags of jewelry and cash were seized.
The task force officers found no drugs.
Shalikar and his brother-in-law were charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine based on the testimony of a government informant who later would be proven a liar. Shalikar spent six months in jail on Rikers Island as the case wound its way through the federal court system in Manhattan.
Finally, U.S. District Court Judge Pierre Leval dismissed all charges against Shalikar and his brother-in-law.
"It was a scandalous and terrible event when misconduct by law enforcement officers results in the filing of false charges," Leval wrote in 1993.
But that wasnt the worst of it.
Shalikar eventually learned that the task force officers who arrested him had themselves been under investigation for theft. One of the task force members, Robert Robles, admitted that he and his partner, Joseph Termani, sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry that was seized from Gallery 2000 during the raid.
Shalikar and his brother-in-law lost their store to bankruptcy.
Termani confessed to the thefts after he was confronted by Robles and others involved in the sale of heroin they stole and sold in another case this one related to Bottone.
Five years after being sentenced, Bottone says the same misconduct that led to Shalikars arrest was also present in his Blue Thunder trial, yet he says no one wants to listen because he has a criminal record.
Bottone figures if his appeal is ever heard, the evidence will show that all three agents who caused his imprisonment were corrupted long before his case began. And that prosecutors never gave him the opportunity to use that information to raise questions about their credibility on the witness stand.

Most of us might be familiar with that one person who preaches for a bargain; some of us might even be guilty of it ourselves. It's all done in good favour, we may argue, but whether we practice the trade or not, it's definitely no secret that us Singaporean are infamous for haggling prices just to gain a bigger bang for our buck.
Thus with the recent launch of the country's first physical voucher book, the Entertainer Book 2013, its arrival will more than likely induce beelines at major book stores.
"Everyone loves value," explains Donna Benton, Founder and CEO of the Entertainer. "With the Entertainer book, we want to give the people of Singapore an added incentive at quality merchants where they can truly pamper themselves."
The Entertainer book comes filled with over 650 'buy one get one free' vouchers for some of Singapore's best attractions, spas, restaurants, hotel accommodations, nightspots and hangout areas. Feature vouchers in the book include a sensual day at the spa, a dining experience at Fat Cow, and clay pigeon shooting at Sentosa, just to name a few. There are even vouchers that cater to tourists, such as admissions to the Mint Toy Museum and Segway rides over at Sentosa.
And as a special offer for the first Singapore book, the Entertainer will be including 'one for one' hotel accommodation vouchers for over 50 hotels across extravagant destinations like Bali, Thailand, Maldives and more. To simply put, the Entertainer Book 2013 is 'the book that keeps on giving'.
Contest LifestyleAsia and the Entertainer Singapore are giving away 10 voucher books, each worth S$95 and packed with over S$70,000 in value.
To win, simply tell us how you would like to be entertained in the New Year, and email your answer to firstname.lastname@example.com with your full name, IC number and contact details by 8 January 2013. The most creative responses will win, so get cracking and good luck!

Not Responding
Internet explorer not responding, excel not responding, word not responding, every program not responding about 1 out of 3 times so I have to wait a minute for them to respond or close them out. I have my virus program up to date and does a full scan every week in my settings and is updated everyday. I don't know why this is happening but I could re-load Windows 7 OS which is a full version and I went from IE 9 to IE 8 and back to IE 9 and that didn't help. I'm thinking of putting in a new drive and just starting over but would ask for any ideas first.

Type in the search box resmon and a window will open, here you can view your CPU, HD, Memory usage and maybe see what is going on.
|My System Specs

Yes, you may have some background processes running. Remon will show graphically how much memory is available.
You can use CCleaner (se below my sig for a link) and run it at default settings to clean up temp files. However under options/advanced uncheck the box for Only cleanup temp files older than 48 hours.
Run the built-in windows defragging progrm.

Its either a registry problem or your pc is just overheating.Download a temp monitoring software.There is one called Core Temp that is free and really accurate.You will know if your pc is overheating.If its overheating then clean up your pc.
You can also run memtest96(google it) to ensure you dont have faulty rams.
You could also try defragmenting

Cpu Temp.
[QUOTE=Muhsin;1718701]Its either a registry problem or your pc is just overheating.Download a temp monitoring software.There is one called Core Temp that is free and really accurate.You will know if your pc is overheating.If its overheating then clean up your pc.
Every time I download something for anything like CPU temp. I get a program that is 10 time what I don't want and by the time I get thought all the crap they put you though I end up deleting it. Anyway I went into the BIOS and my CPU is at 109 degrees and my motherboard is at 86 degrees. I have my CPU fan set for Ignored otherwise it sounds like a jet engine. With an overheated CPU I usually get the blue screen of death. But with all the "Page not responding" it might be my CPU and I'm not sure how to check it except to reload my OS from scratch into another drive which I am going to do and if I still get "Page not responding" then I'll have to replace the CPU and then if I get "Page on responding" maybe my motherboard? I would appreciate any insight you might have. Thanks

Fruity 3: Like a house party except not
Tomorrow night sees the third installment of Fruity, a monthly club night that started in December and promises some of the best tunage in town.
Dan Beck, formerly of Pontoon, will be DJing along with Cynthia Herman, aka Cyncity. This time they've got a special guest also on deck, Patrick Parco, who will be playing a dubstep set. At previous nights, they've played house, electro, hip hop and garage. They're promising more of the same this week along with 80s screamers, 90s belters, and I'm holding out hope for some Italo hammers.
The event is being held at Me Mate's Place, a popular new hostel run by a young Canadian and Australian couple whose cheap drinks and stylish setup have made it a favourite hangout for backpackers and locals alike.
For those of you who lament the lack of quality tunes in Phnom Penh, stop by Me Mate's Place tomorrow evening for a buzz.
Fruity, Me Mate's Place, St 90, between the riverside & Wat Phnom, Phnom Penh. T: (015) 605 051, 21:00-3:00 RSVP on Facebook

For the second attempt at cooking, photographing and eating - desert time!
Made a Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie recipe by RecipeGirl
I only accidentally skipped one line while working through the recipe and was able to go back and complete it without ruining it. Still made a couple unnecessary utensils and bowls dirty, but that comes with making things in the kitchen.
Needed to do a bit more with accessories, but I was playing around too much with new lights and light tent.
The pie was well received by co-workers and family, so consider it a success.

Taste of Home Cookbook, Pueblo Green Chile Stew
I need to cut the pork smaller next time, it listed 1.5" cubes which I cut too big. Everything else went swimmingly, super easy to bring together and cleanup. Can't beat browning meat then just dumping the rest in and waiting for the results. My only mistake was starting to warm up the pot before I had finished the prep work, got into crunch time dealing with browning the meat while simultaneously chopping vegetables. The dutch oven was new (as well as the place mats) and was worried after I started that it wouldn't be big enough, but it just made it.
First time with the food photography and have a lot to learn and experiment with. I have a light tent and lights coming which will help with parts. Just starting the search for attractive containers for ingredients. Have to work on the lighting by the stove the most. Still, managed to cook, photograph and eat and I will get better with time.
