L.A. 'Hound reports back: Aronia de Takazawa, Tokyo [LONG REVIEW WITH PHOTOS]
Hello everyone,
Thanks to many 'Hounds who gave me great advice, I had a fantastic 36 hours of eating in Tokyo! Here is my report on Aronia de Takazawa:
We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to try Chef Takazawa's 11-course Autumn menu in November.
Aronia de Takazawa, located in a nondescript multi-use building in the Akasaka section of Tokyo, is one of the best restaurants on earth. It also ranks as one of the toughest tables to score on the planet. Chef Yoshiaki Takazawa, already a legend in the gastronomy world at age 35, is the obsessive, meticulous genius behind Aronia de Takazawa. On the night we went, he cooked for a total of four people. Just four. Chef Takazawa's obsessive quest for culinary perfection is admirable. It's also a lot of fun to watch, as he diligently prepares each dish at his stainless steel workstation.
Inside, an illuminated staircase, with the poetry of Joyce Kilmer highlighted on the side, leading up to a beautiful, sleek second-floor dining room.
There are only two tables at this restaurant. Only two.
A marble "egg" greets us at our place setting as we are seated. The "egg carton" is also made of marble!
The theme of the experience is "Enjoy Your Imagination" - Like works of art, each dish in our tasting menu is introduced, along with the year in which each dish was first created.
Amuse bouche pairing: Left: Kani miso (crab roe) and tachiuo (scabbard fish) with yuzu foam... Right: Potato soup spheres with white truffle. These were two inviting palate-opening starters to the evening. The essence of these potato soup spheres, when combined with another type earthy richness of the white truffle, is simply superb. Superb! Kani miso (crab roe), with eaten in the same bite as the tachiuo (scabbard fish) sashimi, along with yuzu foam, is a total revelation. So clean, and so complex!
Aronia de Takazawa is a champion of Japanese wines and spirits. We decided to go with a barrel-fermented 2008 Japanese chardonnay. Excellent! Crisp and just dry enough for our liking.
Ratatouille (2005): So colorful! This is Chef Takazawa's signature dish, and a staple of the restaurant since its inception in 2005. Fifteen (15) different fresh seasonal Japanese vegetables are each marinated and prepared in a different way (that would be fifteen different modes of cooking). Then, each vegetable is cubed and fused to one another to ultimately create this incredible vegetable mosaic. The dab of salt at the tip of the spoon is actually called magma salt, and is harvested from the rim of active volcanoes! It takes over 13 hours to prepare this one dish, and yet I'm told I must finish it in one bite. Yes, it is like a vegetable "orchestra", going full blast in one's mouth! The magma salt imparts a slightly sulfuric, smoky taste to the whole thing - Outerworldly!
Bread service: Fluffy, hot toasted carrot bread is presented with a chilled jar of creamy homemade rillettes de porc made from Okinawan Agu pork. The pork rillette is heavenly, and is the perfect accompaniment to the butter-toasted carrot bread!
Vegetables Parfait (new): Layers of green tomato puree, heirloom tomato puree, and mozzarella ice cream, topped with edible flowers and caviar... A straw is included, encouraging the diner to "mix it all up and drink it all in"!
Matsutake Spaghetti (new): Not actually pasta, the "spaghetti" are actually strands made from prized matsutake mushrooms! Kegani (Hokkaido hairy crab), another seasonal delicacy, accompanies this "pasta" dish. For this dish, Chef Takazawa has also added generous slices of matsutake mushrooms, and all of this is topped with uni (sea urchin roe)! The matsutake mushrooms are so fragrant! Truly, a taste of autumn in Japan. Large chunks of kegani (Hokkaido hairy crab) meat and huge Hokkaido uni (sea urchin roe)! Heaven!
Bacon EGG ? (new): This was an interesting and quixotic presentation... It is an illusion, because there is no actual poached egg here! The "poached egg" is really soy milk gelee, with a mashed kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) "yolk" interior! The "bacon" is also not really bacon; it is actually dried slices of jamon iberico de bellota (acorn-fed ham) from Spain! Cubes of makomodake (young bamboo shoots) and popcorn complete the presentation. This whole imaginative concoction is then given a drenching by potato soup - The taste combination is wild and so good!
Powdery Dressing (2006): A salad is presented, topped with saba (mackerel) and Inca no Mezame (purple potato). Balsamic dressing is subjected to extreme freezing with liquid nitrogen, then the sub-zero dressing (in powder form) is then immediately poured cold onto the salad! Marvelous! The balsamic powder "thaws" shortly thereafter, and the dressing's taste is "seared" into each bite of the salad... Interesting and inventive!
EZO - Venison Tar Tar (2010): Plated onto a mirror plate, this dish is gorgeous. Venison from Hokkaido, with fried garlic biscuit, with uni and white truffle on top... The venison was not gamey at all! Velvety texture, with the crunchy garlic cracker. Fantastic. Lots of truffle, too!
A 2010 Muscat Bailey A, from Nagano, goes well with venison!
Coffee Jelly with FOIE GRAS (new): Again, an illusion! There is no real coffee jelly here; instead, a kotake mushroom broth was cooled into jello cubes (resembling coffee jelly), then put into the jar with foie gras mousse! All this is then served with a white wine & mushroom "cream" poured over it! So rich! Smells so earthy and delicious! The aroma is amazing. The kotake mushroom broth cubes really do resemble coffee jelly! The white wine & mushroom "cream" alone would go great with any pasta by itself!
Hot Balloon (2008): A culinary plastic bag is used to make a rich seafood and mushroom broth. Gomahata (a type of grouper), and at least 5 different types of mushrooms are all mixed into this bag, which is stewed without losing any of the original juices. Chef Takazawa came over to our table and personally cuts the sealed bag open! The released aroma is overwhelmingly delightful! Black truffle, white truffle, tree fungus, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, maitake (hen of the woods) mushrooms... The broth is just incredible and so rich! And the gomohata grouper is among the tenderest bites of fish we have ever had. Fluffy flakes of perfectly cooked fish just melt in the mouth! So delicate!
Chef Takazawa starts grilling some beef…
For the next course, we chose a cabernet & merlot blend: A late harvest 2006 Chateau Mars from Yamanashi...
Dinner in the Forest - WAGYU (2009): Saga beef, chestnuts, fingerling potatoes, ginnan (ginkgo nuts) and a gooseberry branch, all served on a piece of hollowed-out cork tree, covered in flame-blasted cypress branch for a strong smell of a coniferous forest! This dish appealed to so many senses! The cypress branch is then removed, revealing the yummy morsels underneath! Chef Takazawa wants the diner to envision foraging for (exquisite) food in the wild - If only camping was like this! No utensils, please. In the forest we dine with our hands. Roasted chestnuts, seared Japanese beef, fingerling potatoes, and ginnan (ginkgo nuts) with salt. Roasted autumn chestnuts with mined salt - Marvelous! Fingerling potato! Cute! Actually this is mukago, a baby yam from the vine of the yamaimo (Japanese mountain yam). The wines go very well with the each bite, and adds further dimensions to the flavors.
Dessert time!!!
A Yamabe Winery 2007 Niagara L'altitude de 700 sweet wine starts us off in our dessert journey - Tastes a lot like ice wine!
Saint-Maure (new): Another food illusion by Chef Takazawa! This is supposed to resemble Sainte-Maure de Touraine (a French goat's milk cheese with a black-grayish rind). But instead, it's actually not cheese, but rather Hokkaido goat's milk ice cream, coated with charcoal chocolate cake powder! Served with a demi-grape and berries, it is a wonderful dessert!
Takazawa's Special Camembert (2006): Resembling Camembert cheese, this dessert is, in actuality, a truffle cheesecake! This is served with a New Zealand Manuka honey ice cream and berry confiture. The truffle cheesecake is light and airy - Delicious. Manuka honey is made by bees which solely visit the manuka bush, and is only found in New Zealand. It is thought to contain some very powerful antiseptic properties. I just know it's really tasty as ice cream!
Aronia de Takazawa carries their own selection of special-blend teas! I chose something with lemongrass in it. Our server Akiko-san said I chose their "Hardworking" variety of tea. Hardworking, or hardly working?! The tea is well-brewed and very refreshing!
Petit fours! We actually got four petit fours! Each one is housemade, of course. Matcha (green tea powder) Cake, Coconut Meringue, "Salt & Pepper" Chocolate & Yuzu Marshmallow.
Even the restroom is photogenic here! Microsoft-billionaire-turned-mad-food-scientist Nathan Myhrvold, author of "Modernist Cuisine", gave a copy of his 5-volume tome to Chef Takazawa as a gift when he visited Aronia de Takazawa a few years back. Of course, with much humor intended, Chef Takazawa decides to put this seminal publication in the bathroom, as reading material. Grant Achatz, Chef at Alinea in Chicago, has also visited Chef Takazawa for inspiration!
Even the way the bill is presented is well-conceived...
It should be noted that service was FLAWLESS during this meal. An amazing experience, all in all... Chef Takazawa is so humble, and even signed the menu for us afterwards! "Gochisosama deshita, Chef Takazawa!" This was a life-changing meal!
Your experience looks and sounds absolutely incredible. I would love to go here but its format is not really friendly to the solo diner.
Thank you for your report!
The chef's kindness and humility is truly amazing. He offered to take a picture of us at the door, and almost got run over by a truck in the process. we were so embarrassed! easily the best meal of my life. our dinner had only two courses in common with yours. My wife insists that she will never again visit Tokyo if a visit to Aronia is not part of the plan. We had the recommended Japanese wine pairing, which was also fantastic.
re: shekamoo
Amazing review! Thank you so much for sharing. I was wondering how your trip went as you can see from the other thread lol!!
I have a reservation there in February, and am a bit apprehensive since I do not eat pork or onions...I asked the concierge to let the restaurant know, but even still, I am wondering whether there are onions in the ratatouille, for example, and wondering what the chef will do to substitute or work around his usual serving of rillettes de porc...
I am kinda freaking out....lol...Anyone have any comforting words, or should I seriously consider dropping my reservation based upon my food issues...
re: Teffub
Thanks for reading the review! Yes, I will be posting more feedback on this great food trip on another thread, if I ever find the time...
Chef Takazawa can DEFINITELY work around food preferences! You can email the restaurant directly, and ask Akiko, Chef Takazawa's wife, Manager, and translator (Akiko speaks near-perfect English!) if your food preferences are acceptable to Chef Takazawa...
They only serve 2 tables per night, so service is very personalized. You should not miss this opportunity to dine there!
re: Teffub
My partner also does not eat onions, and Chef Takazawa simply did not use onion in her portions. I imagine it would be quite easy to do the same with pork (which is typically only an accent instead of a main course -- although the "bacon and egg" sounds amazing). I have been there 3 times over 3 years, and each time was life changing. Although we speak Japanese poorly, as noted Akiko is wonderfully bilingual.
re: VCB133
Thank you both, J.L. and VCB133, for putting my mind at ease!!!
re: Teffub
A good French menu, but without good red wine, welll, it would be a no-no for French !! i am sure white wine will be correct, but will it be OK for you for the whole meal ? The course looks fantastic, and my reservation 3 years ago was delayed due to changes...
re: Ninisix
As someone who has actually dined there, I think Chef Takazawa's cuisine defies categorization. I suppose if you must pigeonhole it, the closest his cuisine resembles would be French, but even that is a far stretch.
In any case, the Chef recommended Japanese wines for our meal, so I put myself in his hands, in the truest "omakase" sense... It was a great meal, regardless of wine choice.
And by the way, we DID have red wines with the meal: A lovely Muscat Bailey A, and a solid Chateau Mars (cab/merlot blend). I suppose it's what you define as "good red wine". I thought these 2 reds did the job very well. Hope you get to try Aronia de Takazawa in the future!
re: Ninisix
good review. I loved Aronia too, although I had a bit of a shock when the bill came as I hadn't expected a service charge or to be charged so much for tea!
The truffle cheesecake is something I will remember for a very long time.
(a very anal point here - they can do three tables, as they did when I ate there)
re: davew666
How much was tea?! lol
re: Teffub
i can't remember. I just had thought it was probably free (maybe naively) but it certainly wasn't!
re: davew666
I loved Aronia too and the bill was a slight shock - however, less than Australia's top restaurants and several steps above!
I just came back from Tokyo yesterday and my trip included Aronia. It was a very similar meal to J.L.'s.
Our meal was:
Vegetables Parfait - which I thought was kinda boring. Whizzed up vegetables with uni just doesn't cut it, for me.
Powdery Dressing - This was maguro cooked on the outside with a blowtorch and served with a yuzu dressing which had been chilled with liquid nitrogen.
EZO-venison Tar Tar - The best dish I have ever eaten. Thankfully, it was too rich for my girlfriend and I got to have the best 1.5 dishes of my life ;)
Coffee Jelly with foie gras - Great stuff, agree with JL.
Early spring - Fish with spring green vegetables. I thought the fish was slightly lacklustre however, the broad beans, peas, other greens and the soup that it was served with was divine!
Grated cheese ? - Apple puree that looked like parmesan cheese. Fun and a good little palette cleanser but meh?!
Takazawa's special blue cheese - Cheese cake that looks like blue cheese. This was fantastic and I'm not much of a dessert person.
The salt and pepper chocolate in the petit fours was insanely good.
A superb meal... not quite life changing.. but 95% there!
re: Steve
..Cost for the Japanese wine ? Well, with euro at 101.-yens (and dropping), i might as well end up bringing 2 bottles of Margaux to complement the meal... Good food is, err, good, but with good wine to go with it, i find it far more enjoyable. Same goes for dessert, i do not count it as an option on a French menu.
re: Ninisix
Sorry, I mean to ask what is the cost of the meal without wine.....
re: Ninisix
The wine list at Aronia is fairly pricey, however I enjoyed the matched Japanese wines and believe it is something they should persevere with.
re: kersizm
Agree with kersizm. These occasions allow gastronomy to evolve out of certain pre-set notions.
Also will reiterate that Aronia is a cuisine unto itself, not necessarily defined as French.
re: davew666
I don't think I can let that one pass ! Seriously: foie gras, ratatouille terrine, bread with pork rillette, what is not French ? Ok, there is the twist with the pasta... But so what ?
re: Ninisix
They may use some french ingredients, but that certainly does not make it French cuisine. I go to France several times a year (I only live 50 miles away) and I have never seen anything remotely like Aronia there!
re: J.L.
Agree with JL and Dave here -- this is most definitely not French cuisine. The words on the menu may seem French, but it is not ratatouille at all, just a play on multiple vegetables (he could have just as easily called it futomaki). The wine list is French or Japanese, which is pretty common across most of the upscale restaurants in Tokyo. I have been here 3 times -- it is not French, not wholly Japanese, not entirely molecular, etc. It is a bit sui generis.
re: VCB133
So, molecular culinary do you qualify it only molecular or french (=Thierry Marx), or Spanish (=Ferran Adria) ?
In an interview by the Washington Post, the chef Yoshiaki Takazawa attributes his culinary as 'new French'...
re: Ninisix
I do not know of any restaurants in France which serve food like you will find at AdeT. Assuming this is correct, how could it possibly be a "french" restaurant if it is one of a kind?
The chef may well use french cuisine as inspiration, but so do countless other chefs all over the western (and eastern) hemispheres.
If I had to classify the cooking here I would probably call it Modern European. I don't believe it can fit into a specific country's cuisine as the style is too new to have a home, if indeed it ever does.
re: davew666
How much does it cost, roughly, in US dollars?
$300 per person?
$500 per person?
$800 per person?
re: kersizm
Whole meal, with no wines, just a couple sodas and maybe some coffee?
I'm presuming without the alcohol it was no more than 300 per????
Thanks kersimz
re: kersizm
Problem is I'm prolly going to be doing quite a bit of drinking at the izakayas anyhow, and I'll have limited time in Tokyo, otherwise, I'd so be down.
I guess the price for food alone is not too bad, considering the quality of the ingrendient's, the chef's expertise, and that he's only cooking for me and like three other people.
re: prasantrin
what would the meal of 24000 yen be in dollars????
Sorry, I don't know what yen would be in US dollars.
re: prasantrin
If I remember correctly, the tea was Y1000 per glass when I went - at least that is what they charged me
re: davew666
When I went the tea was served by the pot at the end of the meal. I'll look for my receipt (I still have it somewhere). Maybe I was charged, but I'm pretty sure I was only charged for water above the cost for the meal.
re: prasantrin
i had a cold tea with the meal, I think it might have come in a bottle, but I can't quite remember.
re: davew666
Ah, that's different from what I was talking about. I was talking about the tea service at the end of the meal, the same one J.L. writes about above. If you had cold tea during the meal, did you also have the tea service at the end of the meal?
re: prasantrin
yes, we did also have the hot tea
re: davew666
i had the cold tea too, served out of a glass bottle that resembles a wine bottle. and then a cup of hot (herbal) tea at the end of the meal. i believe the cold tea was not part of the cost of the meal. can't remember about the cup of hot tea.
re: davew666
It s not really up to me to decide the French character of chef Tazawa's cuisine. My few observations: He himself defines his cuisine as 'new French' in an interview at Wall Street Journal. Base ingredients are typically found in French cuisine (yes, including pasta - i would not say about not spagetti, but there are pasta specialities in south of France ...), and prepared in a way to taste French, and to look like French cuisine in Japanese (kaiseki-style). Hence my conclusion ... and my remark that the only 'missing' bit was the French wine.
As for 'molecular' cuisine, you have fine French representatives (for ex. chef Thierry Marx), but also other cuisine, like for ex Spanish (Il Bulli).
Categories seldom fully identify the cooking - especially as we speak about human activity, with overlaps, approximations, and chefs trying new ways of cooking that fall outside a simple 'French', 'Molecular' , 'Modern' designation.
re: Ninisix
I quite agree that chefs are always looking to cook outside the simple categories. That applies here, and it why it is not French cuisine. If you said "French inspired" cuisine, then we would be in agreement.
Only four seats tops??? This is even more intimate and exclusive than Urasawa. Obviously different types of cuisine though.
How much was the meal per person? About $500, not including tax and tip, considering there are only those four seats?
Thanks. Great read. And a definite vicarious thril.

Wonder if holmes is hoping a second opinion will get him out of playing the rest of the season?FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets still don't have a diagnosis of Santonio Holmes' foot injury, but they expect their top wide receiver to miss multiple games.
Coach Rex Ryan confirmed Monday that X-rays of Holmes' left foot, taken Sunday at MetLife Stadium, were negative. Holmes underwent an MRI exam Monday morning, but Ryan claimed they didn't have the results, saying they were "shipped to different places."
Holmes is likely seeking a second opinion. Ryan said doctors haven't determined whether it's muscle or ligament damage. Doctors ruled out an Achilles tendon injury.
Wonder if rex is taking a copy of those foot photos home with him to study?
The way holmes tossed that football looked like he didn't care about the game, i know he was in pain but it looked odd.

Recipe by KCORONA
"Turkey kielbasa, spinach, and lentils are combined to yield a hearty soup."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1/3 cup
uncooked white rice
2/3 cup
1 teaspoon
vegetable oil
4 ounces
turkey kielbasa, chopped
onion, minced
carrot, chopped
1/2 teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes
6 cups
2 cups
reduced sodium chicken broth
1 cup
dry lentils
1 (10 ounce) bag
fresh spinach, torn
I made minor adjustments to this and it was fantastic! It was a wonderful earthy yet spicy comfort food on a cold Sunday night. I used brown rice instead of white, chicken stock instead of water, and omitted carrot although it seems appropriate for this recipe. I sauteed some red bell pepper and celery instead. I chose to make this in a slow cooker. Saute the veggies and kielbasa first, add to slow cooker with dry lentils, spinach and about 4 c chicken stock/broth. Add brown rice for last hour of cooking. Next time I will try adding some cumin and topping with grated parmesan at the end. (tip from Giada).
With a few additions and substitutions this soup came out great. I added zucchini, yellow squash, and a 14 oz can of diced tomato. Additionally, I used kale instead of spinach as it holds up better in my opinion.
I too flipped the water / broth using 6 cups of chicken stock (not broth) and 2 cups of water. I also added a generous helping of garlic, a dash of cumin, and two fresh bay leaves.
One reviewer stated that the soup is bland, perhaps he or she did not allow the soup to really cook down thus developing flavor. Honestly, 25 minutes was not nearly enough time for the ingredients to mesh and for the flavor to develop. It took me nearly 50 minutes, and having said this next time I will wait to add the zucchini, squash, and kale until the last 15 minutes as it got a bit softer than I prefer.
Moreover, do add salt and pepper to taste, not sure why it was left out on the recipe but it is surely necessary.
I added uncooked rice and F renchlentils and the 50 minute cook time was perfect.
This is a healthy and low calorie soup that fit my nutrition plan perfectly.

My family really enjoyed this one. I did make one alteration though. I switched the amounts of chicken broth and water (6 cups chicken broth - 2 cups water). And for next time I think I will be adding a bit of garlic (as that should go in EVERYTHING)...and will cut the pepper flakes in half. It wasn't that spicy if you only had one bowl - the second one had our noses running away. It was wonderful with some buttered peasant bread.
Very tasty. I didn't understand the rationale behind cooking the rice separately, so I just added it with the lentils. Also, I reversed the amount of broth and water. Hearty and healthy.
Excellent -- I made several changes and additions. I used olive oil--always--rather than vegetable. I switched the amounts of broth and water as reviewers had suggested, added lots of extra red pepper (I like it spicy), and added the rice (Basmati) with the lentils (green) rather than cooking separately. I added to the onions, 4 cloves of garlic (minced); to the spices, caraway seed, 1 bay leaf, summer savory, & garam masala; to the broth, a splash of red wine; and to the spinach, a handful of sliced mushrooms.
My family loved this!! I took tips from other reviewers and used 6 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water, used 8 oz of kielbasa instead of 4 oz, added 3 cloves minced garlic to onion/carrot, and threw brown rice in along with the lentils (it cooked just fine...no need to cook seperate). Will make again, and again and again! Thank you!
I made this for dinner tonight, substituting Italian veggie sausage for the kielbasa and veggie broth instead of chicken (we're vegetarians) and this turned out fantastic. It's so rare that I can find a meaty recipe and can convert it but keep it relatively the same. My husband LOVED it! Thanks!
I enjoyed this recipe. I love fresh garlic so I added that… I also used brown rice (added @ the same time as lentils) and frozen spinach. I only had one problem, but it was totally my fault. I thought I could save time and just throw everything into the crock pot… the first couple bowls were awesome, but by time I got to the end, all of the flavor from the kielbasa had leached into the broth, leaving the meat flavorless and chewy. (I just picked the pieces out). So if you use the crock pot I wouldn't leave the soup in it for reheats.

Why Levitt and Dubner like geo-engineering and why they are wrong
Many commentators have already pointed out dozens of misquotes, misrepresentations and mistakes in the 'Global Cooling' chapter of the new book SuperFreakonomics by Ste[ph|v]ens Levitt and Dubner (see Joe Romm (parts I, II, III, IV, Stoat, Deltoid, UCS and Paul Krugman for details. Michael Tobis has a good piece on the difference between adaptation and geo-engineering). Unfortunately, Amazon has now turned off the 'search inside' function for this book, but you can read the relevant chapter for yourself here (via Brad DeLong). However, instead of simply listing errors already found by others, I'll focus on why this chapter was possibly written in the first place. (For some background on geo-engineering, read our previous pieces: Climate Change methadone? and Geo-engineering in vogue, Also the Atlantic Monthly "Re-Engineering the Earth" article had a lot of quotes from our own Raypierre).
Paul Krugman probably has the main issue right:
…it looks like is that Levitt and Dubner have fallen into the trap of counterintuitiveness. For a long time, there's been an accepted way for commentators on politics and to some extent economics to distinguish themselves: by shocking the bourgeoisie, in ways that of course aren't really dangerous.
Clever snark like this can get you a long way in career terms — but the trick is knowing when to stop. It's one thing to do this on relatively inconsequential media or cultural issues. But if you're going to get into issues that are both important and the subject of serious study, like the fate of the planet, you'd better be very careful not to stray over the line between being counter-intuitive and being just plain, unforgivably wrong.
Levitt was on NPR at the weekend discussing this chapter (though not defending himself against any of the criticisms leveled above). He made the following two points which I think go to the heart of his thinking on this issue: "Why would anyone be against a cheap fix?" and "No problem has ever been solved by changing human behaviour" (possibly not exact quotes, but close enough). He also alluded to the switch over from horse-driven transport to internal combustion engines a hundred years ago as an example of a 'cheap technological fix' to the horse manure problem. I deal with each of these points in turn.
Is geo-engineering cheap?

Your baby's skin is smooth, soft, and highly delicate. "A baby's skin is thinner and has less hair, so it's more fragile than yours," says Pamela Jakubowicz, MD, dermatologist at Montefiore Medical Center and assistant clinical professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. So how you care for your baby's skin is very important. Here are some guidelines for keeping your baby's skin healthy.
If your child has sensitive skin:
- Steer clear of products that have fragrances and perfumes.
- Avoid dryer sheets or fabric softeners, which leave a film on clothing and can irritate tender infant skin.
- Stay away from shampoo or washes made with sodium lauryl sulfate, which tend to burn children's eyes.
If your infant gets cradle cap, a build-up of scales on the scalp, apply a little mineral oil to the scalp and gently brush away the thick scales with a very soft-bristle brush or toothbrush, suggests Jakubowicz.
Soaps and Anti-Bacterial Products
Avoid deodorant soaps meant for adults, they are harsh and too drying on a baby's skin. Although they may not lather as well, try milder liquid or bar products that will be labeled "cleansing bar" or "skin cleanser." "Babies aren't sweating, you don't have to use anything harsh to get its skin clean," says Jakubowicz.
Avoid using anti-bacterial products. They tend to dry out a baby's gentle skin. Also, regular use of anti-bacterial household products may actually increase the possibility that the germs they are meant to kill will eventually become more resistant to these products, and harder to kill.
Although bubble bath products may make bath time more fun for children, they tend to dry skin out. Be sure to use a bubble bath that is mild enough for frequent use. Using a moisturizer after bathing can also help avoid dry skin.
Moisturizers and Sun Protection
Stick to creams, ointment, and emollient moisturizers instead of lotions. "If it comes in a tube, it's usually more effective," says Jakubowicz. Avoid products that list alcohol in the ingredients. Alcohol tends to produce a drying effect that's counterproductive to moisturizing.
Try to keep babies less than six months old out of the sun, or dress them in sun-protective clothing. When that's impossible, apply a small amount of sunscreen with at least 15 SPF to exposed areas like the face and back of hands. For older babies, choose a sunscreen labeled "broad-spectrum" with an SPF of at least 15, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Look for physical sunscreens and sunblockers or chemical-free sunscreen products that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Protect Baby's Tender Bottom
If your baby develops a diaper rash, make sure to change your baby's diaper every three to four hours, and immediately after a bowel movement. Wipes can be irritating to raw skin, so use unscented wipes or a soft cloth with water until it heals. Allow baby's bottom to air dry. A cream or ointment with zinc oxide can help protect the area. For prevention, petroleum ointments should do fine.
For the first three months, or longer, if your baby has sensitive skin, avoid baby wipes that have fragrances. You can also skip the wipes altogether and just use wash cloths and a squirt bottle of water at the baby's changing table.
If you use baby powder, pour it out carefully and keep the powder away from the baby's face. Talc or cornstarch in baby powder can injure a baby's lungs.

This conversation is closed.
Who has influenced you the most in your life?
George Eliot once said: "Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another".
It seems to me that everyone has been influenced by someone to pursue a certain career or to follow a certain path in life.
Who is that person for you? And how did he/she influence you?
May 21 2013: My teachers who did not believe in me. This is where I realized you can use bad influence to create the good.
But to able to make that conversion I need to say my family. They were my safety net for taking intelligent risks in my life.
May 21 2013: I like that: "use bad influence to create the good"

Others; Muhammad SAW, my mother (for her strong will at almost anything), Rumi, and Mother Teresa. :]
J Chang
May 23 2013: I would give this honor to someone that I dated in the past. He introduced me to TED, and that pushed me to expand and explore my beliefs, thoughts, and limitations. His influence initated many conversations on subjects that I once thought was impossible. Together we created a TEDx conversation group in Houston - the Houston Shakers, and since our breakup, the Houston Shakers have blossomed into 200 members. He may not physically be in my life right now, but he will forever be in my heart and spirit - Thank you Crickets.May 21 2013: I may not be the best of really anything but like anyone I could always dream. I'm nineteen and in college and still to this day I ask Ms. Schutz for advice. Ms. Schutz was funny, intelligent, gave the best advice and was overall exceptional. Life was not the best, and for most I'm sure it wasn't but what made things easier was going to my English class where I'd actually be distracted from everything else. I have a lot of friends, and some can even say I'm popular. I had a job my senior year in high school and moved out. When I did I hung out with a few people on the football team. My senior year of high school was different because it made me feel like I was independent; going to school on my own, going to work close to closing then going to my jujitsu class at 8:20pm. Life was busy and I was okay with that. Being busy distracted me from other things. I'm in college now and things are not the best. I have problems all of the time but I still pass all of my classes with an A or a B and I do this because I have an inspiration, a teacher, and a real friend. It's really hard to consider anyone I know a real friend because being around them either gets me arrested, into an unwanted fight, argument, loss of other friends, and even stress during my finals and everything really just starts to weigh me down but then in the end I focus on who's here and always going to be here and that is my high school English teacher and my best friend Ms. Schutz. I'll never forget the day that our English class went to the J. Paul Getty Museum. This was during a time where my hopes and dreams just started to seem unrealistic. I didn't feel like many of my friends cared and if they did, they cared in a messed up, unfriendly, and demotivating way. I remember going to the restaurant next to the museum with my teacher, she made me feel like a good student and let me know she believed in me. It meant a lot and it's still in my head till this day.May 21 2013: I wasn't influenced by anyone to head in the direction that I've been heading. I just always kind of fell into things and then go encouraged after showing at least a small bit of talent at it. Probably the closest thing to an inspirational influence that I either had or have would be Roger Ebert because I saw the passionate and love he put into his writing and criticism that it really just made me want to do whatever I did with the same level of passion that Ebert used in his work.May 21 2013: Hi Mariam,

Initially, my parents. Because of them, my childhood was full of wonder, music, art.
Now, it is my husband who has made, and continues to make, an enormous impact on my life. We have been together for almost 16 years, and as well as I know him, he can still surprise me. We share a love for music, but his goes deeper than I can imagine. But when I can't fathom it, he opens up and shares it with me. His talent and skill goes beyond what I have ever learned, but when we make music together, he embraces my skill which lifts us both up higher. He shows me how wonderful a mother I can be. He inspires me, motivates me, gives me the freedom in the world to be exactly who I am. And he tells me, that I do the same things for him.May 21 2013: Hello Mariam:>)
Without question, my mother is the person who influenced my life the most by demonstrating kindness, compassion, empathy, integrity, peace, contentment, calmness even in the face of extreme challenges, passion for life, joy, humor, curiosity, open heart, open mind, unconditional love......I could go on and on....
She demonstrated this foundation for life in every moment from the time she gave birth, until her death. There was no punishment, preaching, lecturing, scolding, or even raising her voice. She taught by example, and her "being" caused me to want to "be" like that as well:>)
She was certainly the first, and one who influenced me most. However, the gifts of openmindedness and open heart taught me to consider ALL information, so many people have influenced me in the journey throughout the life adventure.
Another great influence from the time I was a child was my father, who was violent and abusive. He taught me how NOT to be. I feel lucky to have observed the two polarities from the time I was a child, and somehow I knew I had a choice.

but need to reference my uncle who fought in WWI and gave back his medals as he boarded the bus to the interment camp and was always smiling.
or my other uncle, pulled out college to go to the interment camp, volunteered and served as a translator in the south pacific and spent 2 years with the us army in Japan as a translator and looking for his mother and sisters to bury at hiroshima.

May 23 2013: I am blessed to work in an occupation that I am passionate about called occupational therapy.
- +1
At the age of six, my daughter called me the "Optional Therapist" since occupational was a difficult word to pronounce.
There are three people who influenced my journey from a young age through adulthood.
My father, self-employed butcher, store keeper, and farmer demonstrated compassion while working with all types of people. Strong work ethics watching him rise early every morning instilled values to always take responsibility if you had to feed a familly of six children. Never give up despite adversity.
The second person who encouraged me to learn O.T. was a person with the same first name..
Karen Lau showed me how to treat patients with T.B.I, brain injury while a new COTA at Rehab Hospital
of the Pacific. We showered naked bodies to improve self-care skills to return back home.
The third person, Keith Matsunaga, inspired me to work in assistive technology at the age of 50.
Never too old to learn technology. Through his optimal optimism, I learned to work and train clients
with disabilities. I ventured as a self-employed contractor working on a government contract with veterans in Hawaii.
When given a task such as teaching augmentative communication devices, I was encouraged to learn on my own.
My confidence soared after many late nights of practicing.
There are a few more teachers, friends, family and my dear husband who supported me to achieve my lofty goals.
The proof is in the pudding having 4 children who also achieved their own personal goals.
The oldest is MacGeek/photographer, next is a contractor, a business major with a passion for fashion, and last of all is my daughter who is a nurse practitioner.
Thank you to all of you for supporting me through this magnificent journey!

May 22 2013: I absolutely adore this question Mariam. Beautiful name might I add. My influence has changed so much up until the last 14 years when my first grandchild was born. It's something to father your own daughter, but seeing your daughter mother a daughter is absolutely soul enlightening. My grandchildren continue to amaze me as much as my own children did and do. So I would say that my children, and my children's children have been the reason I wake up every day!

God bless!
-Todd C.May 21 2013: Hands down my parents!
My dad taught me how to be patient, companionate and understanding and my mum has taught me how to fight for what I believe in and determination.
I also have to include my brother because he has given me a life lesson that no one can ever teach you and that is to never give up!
There are also others who have influenced me through out my life and many if them are my friends!
May 22 2013: Great family influence :-)May 21 2013: Bill Moyers. His work helped me start seeing that so much of what we see in politics and media is absolute confectioner's sugar made by guys like Michael Deaver to make a pile of shi+ seem like a piece of candy.May 21 2013: My teachers are probably the biggest influences I ever had, and also, largely, authors of books.
May 22 2013: All your teachers? Elementary school? high school? College?
May 24 2013: Well, not all. Few of them actually, mostly from high school and college but those few have had a big influence in my life. They have changed how I perceive the world around me, and how I respond to situations.May 21 2013: Onkel KarlMay 20 2013: My father.
He was an engineer and thought the world needed more engineers.

May 21 2013: InterestingJun 1 2013: 'Everyone' , whom i came across in my life influenced me in some way or the other. Parents, my teachers , friends and so on..
In school because my friends were good at studies i was influenced by them to study well, the leaders of my nation always influenced me to be bold, courageous and i was always determined by them to serve the nation. My father who was a big follower of the first women Prime minister of our country (India) named me with her name, thinking that i would one day become a great leader like her and she is the one who always influenced me in every aspect of my life.May 30 2013: Mariam,
there have been so many amazing people in my life, but the first person I thought of when I read your question was E.E. Cummings. Not particularly for his works themselves, but for the way he expressed himself. He "ignored conventional grammar and syntax, aiming for a dynamic use of language", used his own 'eccentric' orthography and wasn't afraid of expressing himself, even if it was unorthodox, unconventional and even controversial.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._E._CummingsMay 29 2013: On the other hand, I guess my Mom and Dad were really interesting people. So were my grandparents. And I've had some good friends in my day. I've met people whom I'd be proud to introduce to anyone . . . even the president.
As for the Liars/Losers I've complained about, I would not trade my life for theirs at all. I am privileged to have seen things change in my lifetime. And that in ways that have defied all logic or even possibility. But that only happened when people were willing to approach things in a novel and unique way. And that is a good thing, especially when it works.
So how will I change my life? Well, the Liars are all gone! And that's worth something! And some of those went to prison, so that's good too! At least they won't mess with anyone else or do more harm! So I guess I just make a big investment in patience and keep working the problem. In the end, the simple, the honest, and the happy shall prevail. Liars always eventually destroy themselves. Unfortunately, some of those lived well into their 80s. As for me, I'd be lucky to live that long. So I will find a way to be happy today. And the liars can stay . . . elsewhere. I could mention them all by name here. Then I could tell them here to all go to hell! But that would only make me angry and sad. So why not skip that part. Why bother being angry at people who are gone (thank goodness!). And if they aren't gone, at least they are willing to leave me alone, now. And I'll take that over any of the rest of it!
So I will find a way to be happy today. And the liars can stay . . . elsewhere. And now I have to sign off because I am late. I have an appointment with happiness to keep. Maybe I'll meet a kitten on the way home. bye.May 29 2013: People I don't like and people I never want to see again! THAT is who has influenced me the most in my life. And people are stupid! At least that's true of the specific people I am complaining about. But what do they know? And what do they care?
Now before I go any further, I have to reshape my thoughts so I can make some sense here. And that is my responsibility here on TED: I have to make sense. Sad thing is that I've had experiences that no one would ever want to experience. I've had to deal with a whole host of individuals (about 20 I could name) who have said and done things that made absolutely no sense to me and to my future. But the difference was power. They had the power and I did not. So there was nothing I could do but live with it. And in the end, everything fell apart.
In terms of who I believe I am and who I believe that I have had to deal with in the past, there isn't much that I can do today to change things. And for as long as I can remember, things have always been this way. They just always have. To get a bit more specific, (before I wrap this up), I've dealt with people who believed that I had opportunities that were not real; money that was not mine (or if it was mine, somebody else stole it before I ever got it); and people who were willing to hurt me, hurt my family, and destroy opportunities for all of us -- all based upon their own, bizarre, issues.
So what makes ME so darn Lucky? How on Earth did I acquire such a collection of LOSERS in my life. And how do I deal with the legacy of the bizarre in my own experience? It all boils down to my having been lied to. And after a while, that gets really old!
So who has had the most influence on my life? The LIARS, that's who! The people I trusted were the same people that you or anyone would have been willing to trust. But as time went by, I saw my hopes die, my dreams die, and today my life is the poorest possible shadow of what might have been. And today I know itMay 27 2013: Thank you all for the responses. I'm learning so much from the type of influences we can have in life.May 25 2013: Amazingly, it's the person who has hurt me the most with the truth I didn't want to hear. He always taught me to be open if I have something to say, not to keep silent - even if the truth is bitter. Since then I have never kept a serious lie in my soul - the life has become better and I feel really free for being honest with people around me. My body and my soul have space for something great and new - not for a mess - that's what I learned from the man I didn't want to listen to!May 21 2013: Who has influenced me the most?
I'm not sure yet.
I can only judge that once I'm dead, or my life is over.
"We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths"
In relation to this quote, I don't think I will ever truly know who influenced me the most, until the moment before my death.May 21 2013: Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)
As a teenager i was looking for a role model. We had few Film stars and cricket players who generated some reverence but nothing more. I was quite disappointed to know that there is not a single person from India who is recognised by the whole world except Gandhi. I got interested to know about him.
Best way to know a person is from his thoughts so I read his autobiography. My experiments with truth..
At best I call myself Gandhi admirer and not Gandhian. The day I practice what he preached, things will change for me.

The man behind the George Zimmerman-DMX fight announced that he has cancelled the bout. Earlier today, Damon Feldman revealed on Twitter that he made the decision to forego "a lot of money" because people's feelings mean more to him than money.
The George Zimmerman fight is canceled I'm sorry for anyone I hurt with this but this was a very big opportunity thank you

It was my decision to cancel the george zimmerman fight it was worth a lot of money to me but people's feelings meant more to me

I walked away from av million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I'd rather be happy and make people happy thank you
— Damon Feldman (@hollywoodbox11) February 8, 2014
Feldman, you'll recall, is an enormous charlatan, even by boxing standards. He puts on "celebrity" fights and voluntarily likens his work to "the WWE of boxing." The chances of this fight happening were only slightly better than it being on the level if it ever did happen.
Which leaves us here, likely the plan all along. Feldman isn't the promoter who put on the interpretive dance version of a George Zimmerman's public execution, he's the guy who didn't do that.

Now in its 27th year, the Discover Jazz Festival has been called "One of the top ten festivals in the world!" by the The Music Festival Guide (Chicago Review Press, Inc.), named an "Editors Pick Local Secret, Big Find" by Travelocity and IgoUgo, and described as laid back and hospitable: with its brewpubs, boating, biking and big Green Mountains adding a nice edge to the scene,
according to DownBeat Magazine. New England Jazz News simply summed it up as This is the way a Festival should be run
It's a good idea to order tickets well in advance because this is a very popular event.

|Two Beer Festivals in VT This Weekend
There are two beer festivals in northern Vermont this weekend and it would be easy for you to attend them both if you would like.
On Saturday, September 26, Siptemberfest is taking place at Mad River Glen on Route 17 near Waitsfield VT.
Some of Vermont's best known brewers will be there: Magic Hat, Long Trail, Rock Art, Trout River, Otter Creek, Wolavers. In addition to the "big guys," the festival will present an unusual opportunity to sample local beer from Lawson's Finest Liquids plus beers that are only available on the premises at The Alchemist Pub and Brewery, Bobcat Cafe, and American Flatbread.
The Skinny Pancake will be making their crepes on site and the Mad River Glen Pub will be serving food as well.
Mad River Glen will be running their single chair lift for fall foliage viewing. It's a great way to get close to the magnificent fall colors compared to looking at them through a windshield.
Just up the road in Stowe, Oktoberfest will have will have a parade, live music and dancing, vendor and craft booths This is a family friendly event put on by the Stowe Rotary club. For children there will be games, pumpkin and face painting, and a Jumping Fun Haus.
Oktoberfest runs both Saturday and Sunday at Jackson Arena on Park Street in Stowe.

You will have more things to choose than you have time.
Whenever our guests ask us for the best places to visit in Vermont, we always mention Shelburne Farms. It is an amazing facility that Vermont is fortunate to have.
Shelburne Farms is located a few miles south of Burlington VT on Harbor Road.
I highly recommend a visit there anytime.

|British Sports Cars and American Hot Rods Travel to VT This Weekend
I just posted a few photos from the 2007 British Invasion on Flickr to give you a small sampling of what this car show is about.
As mentioned in my September 6 blog entry below, there will be hundreds of beautiful British cars from old to new. The British Invasion web site has more details. My friends from the Classic Bike Experience will be there as well to display some British Motorcycles.
The Boston Sunday Globe named this event as their number one choice for "Best 10 things to do within a day's drive of Boston." And the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has named it several years in a row as a Top Ten Event in Vermont.
The event will be held at the Stowe Events Field on Weeks Hill Road, just off Route 108.
It runs this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
On the same weekend, there's a very large street rod show at the Champlain Expo Center put on by the National Street Rod Association.

The Sovtek EL84 series of power tubes produce an unbeatable smooth, warm, distortion. Excellent replacements in vintage VOX AC-30's and the like, our EL84's are used by Fender, Crate, and Peavey.
These are Sovtek EL84 tubes in platinum matched sets. Their platinum matching process consists of a 24-hour tube burn-in period followed by a bias (plate) current measurement in milliamps.
Soft, medium, and hard style descriptions refer to break up modes of the tube for an overdriven guitar signal. Soft-rated tubes break up easier and earlier, yielding a heavier, harder distortion. Hard-rated tubes however will be cleaner, while medium-rated tubes fall in between.
Order tubes BEFORE they need to be replaced, and save the gig.

Comments about Sovtek EL84 Matched Power Tubes:
I bought two matched sets: A medium quartet and a hard quartet.
I installed the hard quartet set into my Peavey classic 30. Fired it up and played a few minutes and my amp blew a fuse. First time since I owned it. Short story: One of the tubes from the matched set (hard) was bad. Now I am stuck with three tubes that match nothing but each other.
The good news is:
I installed the medium set in my amp (after replacing the fuse). The tubes sound pretty darn good I must say.
Therefore, not sure if it was a fluke (I read another post on here where a guy had the same problem), but, I think I would try them again or even recommend them to others.
The point of redemption for Sovtek was the fact that one of the matched sets is fine (medium) and they sound superb in my classic 30.
Comments about Sovtek EL84 Matched Power Tubes:
The stock sovtek el84's are still going in my blues jr, but the replacements that I ordered came as a matched pair with one dead tube which ruins the other good tube being it has no match now, so will try some more but last time before moving on. Many reputable companies do use the sovtek brand so that has to say something.
Comments about Sovtek EL84 Matched Power Tubes:
These tubes came I my new Kustom 72 coupe and sounded absolutely hot. But a few months later, one of them went out. I don't know if it was because of my amp, or power supply, or what. But they sure went out way too soon.
Comments about Sovtek EL84 Matched Power Tubes:
These tubes are the best. I own two of these in my crate v 18 and they haven't failed yet.

We might enter the offseason on fire...in a dumpster somewhere out in Hialeah.
We're not going to the playoffs.
BAdkins159 must work for Gallup or Rasmussen
Well with Pittsburgh having both quarterbacks knocked out and the Colts with a pretty demoralizing loss, I think that may have opened up the Wild Card race for a 9-7 team. But I don't know.
Right now it seems pretty clear the only place this team is going is the toilet bowl. 2 losses to poor teams and one they didn't even show up for.
If you could quantify how well a team is playing and put it into a number and graph it with the time of the season gone by I don't think most seasons for most teams would go straight up or down but up and down like a stock. Even though it looks pretty hopeless right now it wouldn't be too off the wall if this team won another 3 or even 4 games. I'm having a hard time seeing 3 more wins let alone 6 but let's see what happens.
All logic says they are toast and would be lucky to win 2 more but this is the NFL sometimes things change suddenly. Up until the 1st half of the Colts game they played much better than expected maybe they can get a little something going again.
Maybe if the teams ahead of them suffer a bunch of unfortunate accidents like: Plane crashes, hotels burning down, buses falling off of cliffs, etc. The Dolphins will make the playoffs. You just never know...

I would their first and both second this year or their first this and next year
I would their first and both second this year or their first this and next year
I'm curious if the "Jets" have any smarts(As i think they NOW do with the Revis trade) why not entertain teams such as the 49ers for more picks?
Mia traded the 12th pick for the 28th and a 2nd so getting al tha seems unreal and look odrick is average as is Misi while others became elite like JPP
I'd do that in a heartbeat. We could get a starting TE, CB, and G for the #12 pick in a draft that is weak at the top. That would give us 7 picks in the top 82, fantastic cap flexibility for the next 4 years, Philbin would continue to have one of the youngest teams in the league, and be a huge step towards fully converting this team from a power running and 34 defense to a ZBS passing and 43 defense team.
Unless Lane Johnson falls to 12, which is highly unlikely, I can't see how Ireland could pass that up. We could package a 2nd and a 3rd to get back into the late 1st and draft Eifert if we wanted possibly.
"I want guys who want to make an impact on and off the field. Good human beings. Guys who want to get better. Guys who want to improve. They want to be great, want to win. Those types of guys we can work with every day." --Joe Philbin
- Defending the Read Option - What do you think?
Jets would be a good trade partner for them.
I'm not for this. I want Eifert. We need a high impact player this draft. I'm sick of getting fill ins. Just keep the pick and get eifert
Stay at 12 and pick Eifort. He won't be available at 31.
I'd do that deal in a heartbeat, as we make a killing for moving down to the end of the first for all that. That will never happen though. We'd get their 2nd and maybe another mid to late round or 3rd next year, but nothing more than that. And with the number of picks we already have, I'm not so sure that's in our best interest versus getting starter material with the picks we already have. While getting more picks is always great, you sometimes miss out on that elite level of talent to get another one or two OK level of talent later in the draft.
anyone see us trading down on draft day?
In his office Friday afternoon, Philbin pointed to the practice fields outside and said: "Out there is where we're going to find out about Ryan Tannehill, Matt Moore and David Garrard. I don't remember a master plan that said, 'Here's when Ryan's going to play.' If there is one, I was never told about it. We'll let them come to work, and the best man will win."'
For the 49ers to trade up to the Fins pick at #12 according to the Trade Value Chart would be Round 1 (#31), Round 2 (#34) and Round 4 (#128). Not as outrageous as originally posted.

Arrow Rests - Original Quick Shot
Our aluminum-encased Whisker Biscuits are 300% stronger than previous models. And, we've added a rock-solid, dual-bolt mount and a set screw* for even more secure, "locked-down" mounting.
*Set Screw on Sure Shot Pro and Sure Shot models only.
Easy to set up
The Whisker Biscuit's design makes setup easier than ever before. Attach the Whisker Biscuit® to your riser mounting holes and it automatically lines up the arrow rest. And most models are designed for use with left and right hand bows.
Its lightweight, compact design provides maximum clearance around quivered arrows.
Questions you've asked
"How do imitation capture rests compare to the Whisker Biscuit?"
There is no other "full" capture rest on the market. The Whisker Biscuit is the original and only full-capture rest. While other knock-offs provide sub-standard or partial containment, the Whisker Biscuit delivers 100% full-containment of your arrow – every time, all the time. Your arrow will stay where it belongs – on the rest.
"Does it work in cold weather?"
The Whisker Biscuit's performance is not affected by the cold. From the heat of Africa to the frozen tundra's of Alaska, the Whisker Biscuit delivers consistent performance regardless of outside temperature.
"Does it affect accuracy?"
Take a look at the video from Brian "Pigman" Quaca as he tests out the accuracy of a Whisker Biscuit. See him shoot a 3½ in. group in excess of 100 yards.
"Does it cause significant speed loss?"
No. That is what our competition wants you to think. The truth is the Whisker Biscuit does not cause speed loss. The Whisker Biscuit continues to be the most accurate and dependable full capture arrow rest – ever.
