Thumbnail illustration by Laurent Cilluffo When Andrea E. Sullivan, founder of BrainStrength Systems, began speaking about neuroscience 12 years ago, she was careful not to actually use the word "brain" in the titles of her talks. "Brain science — nobody knew what that was about," said Sullivan, who holds a master's degree in organizational psychology, and whose Philadelphia-based company specializes in using brain-based principles to help individuals and companies improve performance. "They were like, 'Brain what?'" It was almost that basic. "I used to start my presentations asking people, 'So who here has a brain?' I would say, 'Okay, [your brain] is a part of your body, part of your mind, and this is who you are.' No clue."
Both the field of neuroscience and public understanding of how the brain works have come a long way since then. Sullivan's basic interest is in "helping people understand how we work — specifically how our biology works — so that we can work better," she said. "And we really have not had that information until neuroscience really started taking off 20 years ago."
One of Sullivan's specialties is meetings — a focus that grew out of her interest in how the modern brain contends with the amount of stimuli we encounter on a daily basis. "It's really a huge issue for our society — that we are all learning to use our brains differently to deal with information overload and an overload of stimulation from our many digital technologies," she said. "And with meetings and events, there is a big question: How do we actually go to these things and retain anything?"
But Sullivan didn't drill down into the specific role that audiovisual technology could play in learning at meetings until she participated in an industry event as part of a panel alongside Greg Van Dyke, senior vice president for global sales and marketing at PSAV Presentation Services. After hearing Sullivan speak about neuroscience and technology, Van Dyke asked her to partner with him on a project that looked at brain science and AV. "I said okay," Sullivan said. "We all talk about a lot of things when we are leaving conferences, right? I did not give it a second thought."
But Van Dyke persisted, and eventually Sullivan dug into the project, looking at how the ever-expanding capacity of technology to project images, sound, and color could be grounded in neuroscience principles and theories to help planners use AV most effectively. Sullivan came away convinced that event technology deserved to be treated as a key component of meeting design — not just another logistical detail. "Knowing what we know now about how the brain processes information and about how we experience events," she said, AV "really needs to be a part of a learning design and a strategy."
That's already happening at many events, according to Sullivan. But she sees a lot of haphazard event technology being used as it always has been — without a lot of thought. "Some people," Sullivan said, "are just looking at the price point when they do their AV: 'How can we get what we need for the lowest price?'"
Or, on the flip side, some planners may load up on so many audiovisual elements that it ends up being counterproductive. "I see things [where] somebody really went through a lot of trouble to create an experience, but they end up with an overload or with an environment that is really not conducive to people feeling good. They are looking to create something wonderful, only they do not follow any principles. They go by feel and intuition, but they just don't have enough information yet."
To help fill that gap, Sullivan and PSAV coproduced a white paper called "Audiovisual Technologies and Adult Learning in Meetings," which doesn't just offer AV strategies that capitalize on how attendees' brains work, but also explains the science behind them. While meeting planners don't necessarily need to be steeped in neuroscience, it's helpful for them to know the principles and applications — if only to understand the odds against any single bit of sensory information lodging in an attendee's brain.
"We are taking in about 1 million bits of information every second, but we can be conscious of only 16 to 40 bits," Sullivan told a packed audience at Convening Leaders 2013 this past January, where, along with Van Dyke and Kati Quigley, CMP, senior director for worldwide partner community events at Microsoft, she presented the session "Using AV to Enhance Learning, Memory, and the Meeting Experience." (The information for this story comes from the presentation, the white paper, and an interview with Sullivan.)
"We are taking in all this information through our senses, but sensory memory is really short — we're talking fractions of a section," Sullivan said. "We miss most of what happens. We have to get out of thinking that people learn and remember just because we tell them something."
When sensory information is noticed, it goes into our working memory, which can be compared to a sieve. "Without rehearsal, we can only hold about four elements of information in our working memory at any given time," Sullivan said, "and information — if it is not rehearsed — is lost after 30 seconds." Learning occurs when stimuli are processed in working memory and then stabilized in our long-term memories. Meeting planners can increase the odds of information being noticed and processed, Sullivan said, by taking advantage of the brain's ability to integrate stimuli that come through multiple senses.
When both auditory and visual channels are activated, for example, learners generate two mental representations — auditory and visual — and build connections between them. "Our brains do this little miracle, that neuroscientists don't quite understand, of compiling all the information from the different senses into one experience in real time," Sullivan said. "The more areas of the brain that we activate, the more brain cells communicate with each other and maintain associations. Combining sensory input around a concept can really enforce learning."
But you can have too much of a good thing. Simply piling on sensory stimulation may look good on the surface — and make for a superficially dazzling presentation — but massive amounts of color and sound produce a sense of overload and an inability to process information in a meaningful way, Sullivan said. Instead, you should use visual and auditory principles in ways that allow you to produce the specific experiences you want.
Among the key principles of brain-friendly AV:
1. Learning increases when you add images to spoken words. Sight is by far our most dominant sense, using up to 50 percent of the brain's resources. Indeed, Sullivan said, 83 percent of learning occurs visually.
Educational research has further shown that audiences retain an average of about 10 percent of what a speaker says. But add visual images, and that figure shoots up to 65 percent. "Do not throw out PowerPoint!" Sullivan said. "It's unbelievable how much visual imagery adds to our learning. But you need to use it properly."
One way to use PowerPoint improperly is to load slides up with printed text. The research cited above, which showed a 55-percent increase in retention of information when images were added to a presentation, did not include slides with printed text. "Text is really inefficient on a

"....if there is activity in the ball prior to the rubbing action....
Bill Belichick, Sat Jan 24, 2015
"You may think that you are some kind of god to these people. But we both know what you really are."
"What's that? A criminal?"
"Worse. A politician."
Source: Under The Dome
This is the best place to get election polling that's been accurate the last 2 elections.
Nate silver used to do baseball stats and is a fricking genius at this stuff. He was with in .3% last election.
The president still has a Elect collage lead but Romney has drawn about even in the popular vote.
"fundamentals"--factors such as the state of the economy, the role of foreign wars and whether the incumbent president is running. At best, polls represent a snapshot of the electorate on a given day, rather than a forecast of the eventual outcome.
Yet even this modest view has its problems. A snapshot may be seen as worthless if it is clear that the picture must eventually change. In four of the last five presidential elections, the eventual popular vote winner has trailed in the polls at some point, often by a substantial margin. Moreover, these changes are often predictable, as shifts usually move in the direction suggested by forecasts based on readings of "bread and peace": the state of the economy and U.S. standing abroad.
Polling methodology problems. Pollsters also face statistical modeling challenges.
"Likely voters." Pollsters attempt to survey the subset of the population that will vote on election day, rather than the entire adult population. (This makes sense, given that these polls are geared toward an election and not an abstract representation of the public's preference, such as presidential job approval ratings.) Some polls survey only registered voters, while others will ask a series of questions designed to screen out those who are not deemed 'likely voters':
--Misapplied technique? These screening techniques help give a more accurate picture of the electorate in polls conducted shortly before election day. However, polls with "likely voter screens" portray a very volatile electorate, with levels of fluctuation that appear unrealistic. Crucially, it is more difficult to predict likely voters. There is some evidence to suggest that likely-voter screens, in particular, may actually make early polls less accurate.
--Turnout guesswork. Turnout is not easy to predict, even in principle. For example, anecdotal reports suggest that Barack Obama's campaign has a large advantage in the 'ground game' of door-to-door canvassing (in terms of measurable campaign activity such as money invested, volunteers enlisted, and field offices opened). This could conceivably translate into a higher Democratic turnout than models based on past elections predict.
Undecided voters. In an apparent paradox, polls move a great deal over the course of the campaign but usually claim that only a small segment of the population is "undecided." Yet if 85% to 95% of the electorate has already "decided," then early polls should track the November results closely--and they do not. If pollsters' estimates of undecided voters early in the election campaign were meaningful, then the race would essentially be over when one candidate's lead exceeds the remaining number of undecided voters. This paradox has two main causes:
-Pollsters' questions. Aiming for a momentary snapshot, pollsters almost always ask respondents whom they would vote for "if the election were held today." Many also use a follow-up probe to see if those who say they are unsure "lean" in a particular direction.
Guess what happens after the election???????
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
Between early voting, absentee ballots, and a more partisan electorate, the actual decision-making in voting is more or less over. It is all about turnout at this point.
Tell that to the millions of people who kept their jobs from the Auto Bail out that.
The millions of people who got to keep their houses under the housing plan.
Or the millions of teachers, firefighters, police officers that kept their job because of the stimulus plan.
The millions of families that were able to feed their kids because of the unemployment benefit extensions.
The millions of small business that got tax breaks to provide health insurance to their employees.
I can list hundreds of reasons why things have changed under Obama, but why bother, you have access to the internet just like I do, it's so simple to keep yourself inform, but WTF ever. Nevermind.. I wonder what kind of ****ing bubble you people live IN. 2011 congress was the most active congress in the history of this country under democrat control. Question how many members are in the House ? Do you even know that ? How about the Senate? Do you know that? What is reconciliation ? What is a filibuster? Without during a Google search do you know any of these answers? I bet you don't!

6. Wall Street Reform

1. The Affordable Care Act
Reforms our country's broken health care system by holding insurance companies accountable, lowering costs, ensuring greater choice, and improving the quality of care for all Americans.

What are your interests and skills?
Deciding whether or not to continue your education after high school isn't really an option today. The question you should be asking yourself instead is: What education and career path is the best fit for you?
Your answer starts by thinking about your interests and skills. Defining what like you to do and what you're good at is a great way to narrow down your options. Understanding your interests will help you choose a career that's exciting for you (rather than just working for a paycheck). And, thinking about your skills will make sure that your chosen career will use your strengths and be natural for you to learn.
To help you get the idea, see how these students' interests and skills match with their career and education options.
Exploring Your INTERESTS
You can explore your interests by taking a free career interest inventory. The results suggest careers that may be good matches for you.
If you are in grades 6-8, you can use the Drive of Your Life interactive game to see where your interests may take you. Test drive careers in a car custom-built for you!
You can also keep track of your interests in a journal or on your computer. Eventually, you may notice themes that may help you identify a good career for you.
Exploring Your SKILLS
You can explore your skills by taking a free skills assessment linked to a career interest inventory. The results suggest careers that may be good matches for both your interests and skills.
Here are some questions to help you think about your skills:
- What do I like to do?
- What do other people say I am good at?
- What things do I spend a lot of time practicing?
- What things do others ask me to help them with?
Exploring CAREERS
Already have a good idea which careers might be a good fit for you? Take a look at current salaries, types of work, the education level you'll need and more from Learn More Indiana's career exploration resources.
And, remember: The difference between a job and a career is the difference between what you do today and what you will do in the future. Finding your passion is the best way to pick a career that will suit you for the long-term.

DURANT, OK -- Two people are behind bars this evening, accused of tricking Walmart employees into giving them cash.
49-year-old Kenneth Earl Turner and 47-year-old Lora Lafayette Walker both from Texas are deemed "quick change artists". They were arrested for obtaining property by trick or deception.
Durant police say the two visited the Durant Walmart on four occasions. Police say Turner would ask the cashier to give him change for multiple bills at the same time, confusing cashiers and walking away with more cash.
Investigators say the two took nearly $2,000 from the Walmart.

Currants are a relative of gooseberries and are easy to grow and ready to harvest in early to mid-summer. Currants are a traditional European edible and part of the cuisine of France, England, and Germany to name a few. The tart berries are used to make cordial, jelly, jams, added to baked goods, fruit soups and summer puddings. Long-lived, deer resistant, and very winter hardy, they are, however, intolerant of summer heat. Currants are cooperative berries to train as an espalier along a fence.
Currants prefer full sun in cooler, humid areas with plenty of summer rain such as the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest. In hotter areas they will do better in part shade. Protect blooms from late spring frost damage. Currants need at least 120-140 frost-free growing days. These tough shrubs tolerate a wide range of soils, but require good drainage and prefer a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Plants of the Ribes genus are an alternate host for the extremely destructive White Pine Blister Rust, red currants and gooseberries are immune to this disease.
Plant currants at least 3' apart. Self-fruitful. Hardy to Zone 3. Bundle of 2. Non-taxable.

NCAA Championship Photo Gallery
UConn beat Butler last night in the NCAA Championship game with a score of 53-41; which sounds more like a junior varsity game score to me. Since all of our March Madness brackets were pretty much doomed after the Round of 64, this game just didn't seem as exciting as it should have been. I hope you didn't lose too much money (or faith in college basketba

Practice Philosophy
Plastic surgery is a constantly evolving art, as well as science. Patients deserve to benefit from advances in techniques and technology as well as the best of what has come before. In my practice, I have evaluated and refined both new and older techniques to offer my patients a customized and effective solution to their facial aging and body contouring concerns. My philosophy has always been to give the same level of care to my patients that I would expect for my own family. This starts with concern for you as a person and awareness of the sensitive and personal nature of cosmetic surgical interventions for healthy people. I want you to understand the nature of your treatments, and give you choices after explaining things in words you can understand. I spend as much time as necessary to give you the very best results, in the operating room and in the office. This means one or more unhurried consultations and time for you to have all your questions answered. I really enjoy explaining things and having my patients participate fully in the educational process. I want to be seen as your doctor, as well as your plastic/cosmetic surgeon. This approach has worked well over the twenty plus years of my plastic surgery practice, to build trust and long-term relationships with my patients, and generate the word-of-mouth referrals that make up the majority of my patients.
Dr. Lowen specializes in "rapid-recovery" breast augmentation with a return to work and driving in 3-4 days; Vaser ultrasonic-assisted liposuction for a smooth, even result, and quick recovery;SmartLipo MPX laser assisted tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia, tummy-tuck, and body contouring; face/necklift, eyelid surgery; nasal surgery. My practice is 90% cosmetic. Our laser clinic has over a dozen lasers for such treatments as laser hair removal, tattoo removal, spider veins, non-ablative laser scar, stretch mark and skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, photofacials, lesion removal, laser facials, and pigment removal.
All patients are seen personally by Dr. Lowen for their cosmetic and reconstructive surgery consultations. Our friendly staff will help you with all administrative and scheduling matters. Cosmetic consultations are free.
Surgery is performed at fully accredited outpatient surgical facilities, including Los Altos Surgery Center, El Camino Surgery Center, and Menlo Park Surgical Hospital. Our anesthesia is provided solely by board-certified anesthesiologists. An overnight stay can be arranged when needed. Reconstructive surgery is performed at El Camino and Sequoia Hospitals.

Product Details
Ford Focus 2012, Easy-fit Tire Chains by Thule®. Sold in pairs. These tire chains are the easiest to install ever created: just 3 steps and you're ready to drive safely and in control over ice and snow covered roads. No complicated process, no lying on the ground. And once underway you'll have no worries because the built-in tensioning system will ensure that the chains stay properly installed, and the unique manganese and nickel alloy D-shaped links will provide the ultimate grip with maximum durability. These chains won't damage expensive alloy wheels and when not needed, they fold up and store in the included storage bag. Easy-fit Tire Chains are available to fit all popular tire sizes.
- Easiest tire chains to install - 3 steps start to finish
- Internal rigid arch system makes chain fitting intuitive: from top to bottom of wheel
- Painted steel sections are easier to handle with cold hands
- Automatic tensioning system ensures chain stays tight on tire - no need to stop and re-tension
- Easy to remove - just press red buttons on aluminum bar and release safety catch
- Nylon bumpers and soft-touch lining on inner side of central bar prevent scratching alloy wheels
- Manufactured from hardened manganese nickel alloy steel
- D-shaped link design provides more traction on ice and snow
- Every link tested for strength and size
- 9mm diameter links makes these chains ideal for vehicles with very little clearance at the inside of the wheel
- Compatible with anti-lock braking systems and traction control systems
- Comes with elegant nylon storage bag with handles for easy transport
- Bag opens out to use as kneeling mat during installation
- Fitting instructions clearly printed on inside of bag for reference during installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Thule did extensive consumer research when developing the Easy-fit tire chains and found that consumers' biggest concerns were that tire chains were difficult and complicated to install, and they didn't like having to lie on the ground by the side of a busy road to put them on, getting dirty in the process. In response to these concerns, Thule engineers made these tire chains the easiest to install of any on the market, just 3 steps from start to finish. Step 1: Take the 2 ends of the rigid arch and open it. Step 2: Lay the chain on the tire, starting from the top, and make sure the arch is completely behind the wheel. Step3: Open out the pedal and push down until you hear it click. Close the pedal, start the engine and drive away. It's that simple! No danger from lying down on a busy road, no need to reach behind the tire and get dirty.
The automatic tensioning system will ensure that the chain stays properly installed and tight on the tire, there's no need to stop and adjust the tension. Besides a simple process, Thule thought of other ways to ease installation, like painting steel sections to keep hands from getting cold. When not needed, the chains can be stored in the included nylon storage bag, but the bag also opens out to form a handy kneeling mat to help keep you clean during installation. The fitting instructions are even printed on the inside of the bag, so they're easily visible during installation.
In their quest to make these tire chains the easiest to install, Thule didn't neglect function - the reason you install tire chains. To make them durable, these chains are constructed from through-hardened manganese nickel alloy steel, and every link is tested for strength. The unique dual-sided D-shaped link design provides superior traction on even the slickest ice and deepest snow. The 9mm links are ideal for vehicles where clearance between the tires and the inside of the fender well and mechanical components is tight. And to protect expensive alloy wheels, anti-scratch nylon buttons are fitted at all contact points and the inner side of the central bar is lined with soft-touch anti-scratch fabric.
The limited 5-year warranty applies to the original purchaser of the product, and warrants the product against manufacturer's defects in materials or workmanship.449.95

n/naka: Modern Culinary Excellence in Palms [long review + photos]
Admittedly, it's been a while since I've contributed a restaurant review to this board. Honestly, with the recent addition of a Chowpup to our Chowbrood, it's been quite daunting finding enough spare time to adequately prepare a proper writeup. However, some treasures must be shared, and I think it's high time Los Angeles gets to know n/naka, Chef Niki Nakayama's new roost located in Palms (yes, Palms).
I've been following the artistry of Chef Nakayama since her days at Azami Sushi on Melrose. A few years ago, after her stint at Azami, she made the move to Arcadia and opened Inaka, serving fantastic kaiseki-style menus with modern touches. With Inaka, it was quickly evident that this sushi shokunin was ably diversifying her repertoire and making forays into Japanese-influenced fine dining. However, despite all that talent, and a die-hard core legion of followers and repeat customers, Inaka never really "took off" in terms of mass popularity. Perhaps the dining populace at-large wasn't ready for the fact that there was no menu at Inaka, and that the tasting menu changed often, based on seasonality and sourcing of ingredients. There was also no liquor license at Inaka, which can be a bit of a drawback at a restaurant building its business solely on tasting menus. It was with sadness that I enjoyed one of the last meals served at Inaka in late 2010. At that time, I did not know what the future held for Chef Nakayama.
Therefore, it was heartening to learn of the debut of n/naka, which opened for business a few months back. With n/naka, her latest venture, Chef Nakayama demonstrates that she has even further refined her already impressive skills. The tasting menu format is still at the Chef's whimsy (and I like it that way) Advanced reservations are preferred, since each tasting meal at n/naka is suited to the sensitivities of the would-be diner.
First, the space & location: Located squarely within the rental-predominant Westside area known as Palms, n/naka shares its environs with Chego and Scoops Westside, decidedly more casual eateries. It is not a place one would typically expect this level of fine-dining, but L.A. has always been a "treasure around every corner" type of town. Parking is easy, as there is a small lot behind the restaurant and plentiful street parking abound. The dining room itself is tastefully minimalist, with clean lines and comfortable chairs. Formerly a day spa, the interior of n/naka has been transformed into an astonishingly diner-friendly, tranquil and intimate space.
Service: This was admittedly somewhat of a weakness at Chef Nakayama's former restaurant, Inaka. But rest assured, at n/naka, service has improved to the next level, commensurate with the refinement of the food served. Plus, n/naka has obtained a liquor license! A gorgeous glass-enclosed wine cellar adorns one wall of the dining area. There is also a beer & sake list available, with many intriguing foreign selections. For my alcohol, I chose a simple Echigo beer for starters and then opened a bottle of my own Silverado cab as the beef was served. Corkage is set at $25 per bottle.
Onwards to the menu! There are 3 tasting menu options at n/naka: Chef's Tasting ($110, 9 courses), Modern Kaiseki ($165, 13 courses) & Vegetarian ($110, 10 courses). As an omnivore, I think the Modern Kaiseki menu would be the best way to experience the full breadth of Chef Nakayama's prowess on the first visit. Honestly, my Modern Kaiseki meal was more than 13 courses. And given the quality and depth of the offerings, at $165 per head, it still ranks as great a value in my book. (Forgive me for my usual crappy photography.)
Course #1: Saki Zuke (a pairing of something common and something unique): Cauliflower tofu, marinated ikura, uni butter & micro greens... Topped with black truffles, this starter was simply phenomenal.
Course #2(a-d): Zensai (main seasonal ingredients presented as an appetizer "quartet"):
Course #2a: Maryland soft-shelled crab tempura, avocado "sphere", with roasted red bell pepper sorbet and braised halibut roe: A nod to the "molecularists", I suppose.
Course #2b: Seared toro sushi
Course #2c: Miso-marinated black cod, with lotus root chips: This is the best miso cod I've had so far in L.A.
Course #2d: "Dynamite" of awabi & scallops
Course #3: Modern Zukuri (modern interpretation of sashimi): Jeju Island Ikejime fluke, with garlic aioli & yuzu kimchee air: Yes, yuzu kimchee air. And it works.
Course #4: Owan "Still Water": Pacific lobster "shinjyo"- mousseline, chef's garden momotaro tomato, dashi broth, fennel: Superb! This was a highlight of the meal. Executed with subtlety, yet maximizing the qualities of each component on the palate.
Course #5: Otsukuri (traditional sashimi): Bigeye o-toro, hamachi, madai, Santa Barbara ama ebi, Kumamoto oyster: Super fresh.
Course #6: Mushimono: Slow-grilled Japanese sazae conch shell, with Mitsuba dashi & uzura (quail) egg: The conch is served in its own shell and cooking broth: Outstanding.
Course #7: Yakimono: Japanese eggplant, foie gras sweet miso & balsamic vinegar: Fantastic.
Course #8: Shiizakana (not bound by tradition, the Chef's choice dish to be paired with wine): Awabi (abalone), pickled cod roe spaghetti, with abalone liver & truffle sauce: Frankly, one of the most delicious pasta dishes I've ever encountered. This made my evening… Actually, made my week.
Course #9: Niku: Snake River Farms wagyu beef "Ishiyaki", mushroom & butter with soy tare dip: This dish is meant to be seared by the diner over a very hot stone.
Course #10: Sunomono: Engawa (halibut fin) ceviche, paired with yuzu sake: I've never tried engawa as a ceviche before – It's a winner!
Course #11(a-e): Shokuji One & Two (rice dish - sushi): Note: All the sushi was of highest quality.
Course #11a: Kurodai (snapper) & o-toro
Course #11b: Shima aji (yellowjack mackerel) & buri toro (yellowtail belly)
Course #11c: Hotategai (live scallop) & uni
Course #11d: Shinkomaki (pickled cucumber rolls) with gari (vinegared ginger)
Course #11e: Masu (sea trout) from Tasmania, ikura, rice, sesame, and nori (seaweed) chazuke: The sea trout really had a nice fleshy tenderness to it.
Now, onto desserts! Hot tea was served.
Course #12: Green tea crème brûlée, served with fresh kiwifruit: Good, nothing special.
Course #13: Lemon white chocolate "cake" with strawberry compote: OK; the strawberry compote was super fresh, though.
The desserts were somewhat of an afterthought, but I was so impressed with the main portion of the modern kaiseki that I was already so happy even before the desserts were served.
Basically, if you're halfway saved up for that epic meal at Urasawa, but can't stand waiting anymore, n/naka is the answer to your prayers. Sure, other places in L.A. (such as Kiyokawa & Kiriko) are serving up sushi-centered omakase menus somewhat similar to the ones at n/naka, but I'd say the modern dishes in the Modern Kaiseki are more daring and refined at n/naka. And even Urasawa doesn't have that incredible cod roe/abalone/truffle pasta dish.
Bottom line: n/naka is an absolute gem. I can't wait to go back for Chef Nakayama's autumn menu. Heck, I may even bring the young Chowpup with me!

Brilliant and informative report, J.L. and the photos really made me hungry!
(I couldn't hear even a trace of stutter anywhere -- very well stated, particularly the conceptual parts)
Looks great JL. As always great photos and review. The sushi looks impressive as does the entire meal. It's about time LA got a high end kaiseki option south of $500pp.
Nice review. I was there last night -- we had the shorter tasting menu, which was still a three hour production! Many of the dishes we had were the same, with some differences. The food ranged from very good to exceptional, and the service was great. A few in my party had the wine pairing, which was very impressive and also left them rather well sloshed.
Standouts for me were the pasta (which you mentioned -- to me, it tasted like a rich carbonara, an effect carried off without any cheese!), the sushi, the waygu beef, the potato croquette, the black cod, and the "lobster ball" in tomato broth.
Outstanding and unique -- get there ASAP!
re: Jordan
Thanks for reporting back, Jordan. Yeah, those wine pairings can easily make a person tipsy! Glad you enjoyed n/naka as I did.

re: Jordan
This was a major problem at the old Azami. The "old", lesser, omakase took a whopping 2.5+ hours. If pacing is still so piss poor, I don't want to return (and I haven't).
For $110, both Mako and Kiyokawa can deliver more than solid punches. If I want Japanese pasta, I'd go to Spoon House. Unconvinced.

re: TonyC
I love Kiyokawa, but there is still room for n/naka in my lineup. Kiyokawa's tasting menu always seems to tell a similar story, and I consider them very different experiences. I don't think you would ever find things like the kyoto carrot broth spherification or the egg and crab dish. From the Inaka days, I also remember having a creamy orrecchiette w/ yuzu zest that was pretty delicious.

re: TonyC
Not everyone likes to linger over dinner as I like to do.
LOVE the epic 5+ hour dinners I've had at Urasawa and Bistro LQ.
My Modern Kaiseki at n/naka took about 4.5+ hours... Not a pacing issue, when the kitchen is adept. It's more of a stomach space issue for me.

Whist at the Viceroy- Highly Underrated and Underappreciated
My wife and I just had dinner last night at Whist at the Viceroy hotel in santa monica. We were celebrating our anniversary, so i asked if they would do a tasting menu for us. We had a number of items from the menu as well as some not from the menu. I dont know why people dont talk about this place more often. The food was great... well balanced flavors, great acidic balance, good salt, etc. From hamachi, to uni, to lamb, and sweetbreads, it was all just great. I should also mention that the waitstaff was really helpful, curious, and knowledgeable.
Anyone else with experience here?
re: john gonzales
that would have been just about the time that the chef who is currently there was just starting... maybe it took a bit of time to work out the kinks.

Does anyone have any pictures of nice looking distance markers around a practice basket?
The GDGO is purchasing a practice basket for Alexander Park. We would like to have spiraling markers showing several distances from the basket similar to the basket at Central Park. The county wants to see a picture that shows that they would look good, be permanent and be safe.

New York Knicks Details
|All NBA Tickets
|See all NBA tickets
Price for a Beer
|New York
3/25/15: Just a few more weeks left in the regular season, Knicks fans, and then it will finally be over. There is little chance that New York will finish with 20 wins this season. And that has to be frustrating. On the other hand, as the losses increase, so do the odds of the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. Of course, the Knicks could pull a blockbuster trade and try to get Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder. They would probably have to give up that first round pick, but would instantly get better with Durant at the helm of the offense. That could be fun.
3/18/15: Since it is about time for March Madness and the University of Kentucky seemingly cannot be beaten, it is also time for the annual questions of if the best college basketball team could beat the worst pro team. Of course, all of this is nonsense, but gives media types something to scream about for a day. Speaking of screaming, Knicks czar Phil Jackson wants his coaching protégé Derek Fisher to do more of that. He wants to see some emotion, rather than the patient, stoic façade that Fisher normally has. Specifically, he wants to see Fisher get in refs' faces and get thrown out of a couple of games. Anything to leave early.
3/11/15: For those New York fans that are rooting for more losses in order to improve the odds of getting the number one overall pick (and first pick in each round) of the NBA Draft, then this is good news. The Knicks are leading the race to lose - currently beating out the Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. There are only about 30 games left in the season and this race looks like it will come down to the wire. Having the most losses does not guarantee the top pick in the draft, but it certainly improves the odds. Considering the talent level on the Knicks right now, they could use the next superstar on their roster.
3/4/15: While there is very little good news for the New York Knicks on the court, there is worse news off the court. Former player Anthony Mason was said to be 'improving' after suffering multiple heart attacks in recent weeks. As of last week, Mason still could not speak, but he could hear and respond with blinks and head shaking. Sadly, he passed away over last weekend. Mason played 13 NBA seasons but was a fan favorite in New York. He also won the NBA's Sixth Man Award in 1995 as a member of the Miami Heat.
2/25/15: There are still a few more weeks before actual spring training games begin in baseball, so until then, it is fair game to open up on the New York Knicks. Carmello Anthony has been shut down for the season and the Knicks bought out Amar'e Stoudemire's contract. So it looks like the Knicks are all-in on losing right now (though the 76ers have upped the ante with their re-tanking bid). Additionally, Knicks president Phil Jackson is coming under fire with some saying that he only took the job for the money. In any case, the race to the lottery is on and the Knicks have the clubhouse lead.
2/18/15: Shut it down, everybody. Shut it down. That looks to be the case with Carmello Anthony this season. He missed the last several games before the All Star break and looks to be shut down for the season now. Anthony reportedly needs knee surgery and that would keep him out of service until next season. Of course, this is not a surprise to anyone who follows basketball. And the Knicks probably do not mind, since it gives them the chance to lose more games and potentially end up with greater odds for a high draft pick.
2/11/15: With the New York Knicks not going anywhere this season except near the top of the line for most ping pong balls come the NBA Draft Lottery, the team has to find ways to stay in the news that do not involve terms like "another loss" or "James Dolan". They may have found one. Apparently, Knicks president and NBA coaching legend Phil Jackson claims he would endorse a 4-point shot. He is not the first to suggest it, but may be the biggest name to endorse it. Such a rule change is not on near horizon, but with voices like Jackson behind it, there may be a shot in the next few years.
2/5/15: The New York Knicks continue to struggle this season and will end up with pretty good odds of landing the first overall pick in the NBA Draft come June. While their on-court play has been uninspired at best, an interesting story about the their championship teams of the 1970's came to surface in the wake of the New England Patriots Deflategate scandal. Marv Albert and Walt Frazier said that former Knick and current U.S. Senator Bill Bradley used to deflate game balls when he was on the bench. He would hide a needle on his body, then have the other players surround him so he could covertly take out air from the balls. So politics seems like an easy career transition now.
1/28/15: The Knicks, somehow, nearly doubled their season win total in the past week with three straight victories. That brought them up to eight wins on the season, tying the them with the Philadelphia 76ers. That means that the Minnesota Timberwolves now have the fewest wins in the league. Rookie coach Derrick Fisher may be getting the hang of coaching, claiming he is now understanding how much he has to motivate his players every game, and recollecting on that not being the case when he came into the league. Maybe that is a shot a Millennials and their work ethic, but at the same time, it is tough to motivate any team that is winning only 18% of their games.
1/21/15: The New York Knicks expanded their market by playing in London last week. The Knicks may have been the prized team to travel across the Atlantic, but it was the Milwaukee Bucks that won 95-79. What does that mean? For starters, they are now closer to 20 straight losses than 10. It also means that they are bad on multiple continents, so the jokes can be international now (sorry, not counting Toronto for this). The Knicks are now getting criticized from all corners and many, including Charles Barkley, are questioning the use of the triangle offense in New York.
1/14/15: For all the talk about the Philadelphia 76ers tanking the season, the reality is that the New York Knicks are in a far worse position. The team had lost a franchise record 15 straight games as of last weekend and there does not seem to be any relief in sight. In fact, the 76ers now have two more wins than the Knicks, who are tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for fewest wins in the league with five. Additionally, there is talk about sitting down Carmello Anthony for the rest of the season so he can get perfectly healthy (and ensure even more losses, which equals more ping pong balls in the draft lottery).
1/7/15: The narrative in New York remains the same - the team is weak in personnel and they are not understanding (or executing) the triangle offense. That lethal combination means that the Knicks have lost nine in a row and are just one win better than the Philadelphia 76'ers. At least Carmello Anthony is saying all the right things. Now he is even giving support and respect to his coach, Derek Fisher. He credited Fisher for keeping the team together during this mess. For Anthony to back Fisher has greater importance, because that could keep the locker room tight through the end of the season.
12/3/14: A little more than a month into the regular season and the Triangle offense is not working in New York yet. Through last Saturday, the Knicks have won only four of their 17 games. They may have hit a new low last weekend as they were blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-78. It was the return of Russell Westbrook for the Thunder, but even still, New York was non-competitive. Amar'e Stoudemire ripped his team for the lack of intensity. The Knicks are searching for answers and a healthy Carmelo Anthony. The only real hope is that the East is weak and Carmelo can spark some life in the team.
11/19/14: Phil Jackson was a fine coach for decades in the NBA - all those championship rings tell the story. Part of being a good coach is deflecting attention from a struggling team. Jackson did just that (as the head of the organization and not the coach) when he publicly took exception to Commissioner Adam Silver's comments about the Knicks transitioning to the famed 'Triangle Offense'. More likely than actually being upset, he may have just wanted people to stop noticing that the team has won only two games, barely above the 76ers, and this was before they lost to the rebuilding Orlando Magic.
11/12/14: The Knicks started the season nicely with a win over Cleveland and victories in two of their first three games. Since then it has been a three game losing streak. That includes a 110-99 beating at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets where Carmello Anthony missed 15 of his 20 shots. He admits that he is not comfortable yet with the new Triangle Offense. He really is struggling, shooting only 28% (18-64) during the losing streak. The team is only six games into their new system and it will take time for the players to learn and get comfortable with the new scheme.
11/5/14: The NBA is pretty good at creating intriguing matchups made specifically for TV. They did it on the opening week by pitting LeBron's homecoming against the always popular New York Knicks. Those that expected King James and the new-look Cavs to win in a rout were sorely disappointed as Carmello Anthony and Knicks ruined homecoming. The Cavs may develop into the best team in the East, but it was the Knicks that looked more like a team in the 95-90 victory. And give Carmello credit, he nailed a three pointer in the final seconds, over LeBron, to seal the game.
New York Knicks NBA Finals Tickets
This was the season when the New York Knicks were able to overcome much of the adversity that had hounded them since the arrival of Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire. Injuries kept the powerful Stoudemire out of the front court, and despite the addition of Tyson Chandler, a talented and reliable defender, the Knicks generally seemed to be one piece short of really making a NBA Finals run in the postseason. This season, however, the New York Knicks moved Anthony to power forward, revealing the ability of their roster to maximize their offensive potential using small ball spacing and pace. 'Melo thrived even though he was moved off of the wing, leading the NBA in scoring and ably defending a number of the leagues best interior players. A season of preparing for those kind of defensive battles have benefited the Knicks so far, as both the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers are known as tough defensive teams.
What may be giving the New York Knicks players and Madison Square Garden crowd the most confidence, however, are their perceived chances to be a legitimate contender all the way through the Eastern Conference and into the NBA Finals. Unless the depleted Chicago Bulls provide a massive upset, the Knicks would have to get through the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat in order to compete in the 2013 NBA Finals. The Knicks wouldn't walk into a series like that intimidated, though, because they beat LeBron James and the Heat three out of four times they faced during the regular season. The interior presence of Chandler is hard for any team, including the somewhat smaller Heat, to handle, and the hot hands of Anthony, JR Smith, and a deep bench of talented three point shooters has Manhattan buzzing for their most legitimate NBA Finals run since they lost the title to the San Antonio Spurs 14 years ago. They've overcome a previous streak of two straight first-round exits, and not the New York Knicks are shooting for the NBA Finals with all the barrels.

Food Diary #1 in Yogyakarta - Temptation
Posted on : 20 November 2012
Categories : Travelings
For my 3.5 weeks trip back home, I decided to start a food diary to show you all the hard and heavy temptations I encountered during this trip.
So it started today. It was a beautiful and surprisingly cool morning in Yogyakarta. As everyone in the world acknowledge that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, people in Yogyakarta also take that seriously. I decided to treat myself sop ayam (chicken soup) with rice, chili sauce (sambal sop), empal, and crispy chicken from a small food stall just 10 minutes away from my house. It was definitely a hearty breakfast.

I agree, this is the best way to do things. Educate your kids and give them some trust and responsibility, this is how I was raised and I stayed out of trouble.
Besides, if your kids are sneaking the occasional beer I wouldn't worry too much. What I would be worried about is them going out and getting completely wasted at a "party." If your kid wants to get his hands on alcohol, or other substances for that matter, it's not hard. It is also suprising how many parents have no idea what their kids are up to.
This is just what I have observed going through school, but I of course have no idea what the relationship between you and your kids is like, just my thoughts on the topic in general.

Calling 911 takes seconds, waiting on the police can take the rest of your life.
Lets take some time out for education:
"In 2003, for the United States, the Centers for Disease Control reports that 28 children under age 10 died from accidental shots. With some 90 million gun owners and about 40 million children under 10." Wanna compare that to how many die at the hands of their own parents, or in car accidents?
"From 1995 to 2001 only about nine ...accidental gun deaths each year involve a child under 10 shooting another child or themselves. "
National Center for Health Statistics: "California has a trigger lock law and saw a 12% increase in fatal firearm accidents in 1994. Texas doesn't have one and experienced a 28% decrease.2 "Trigger-locks" do, however, render guns inaccessible for self-defense."
Now compare that to how many people that are murdered during home invasions each year.
I think more about protecting my family from others than I do protecting them from themselves.
My handgun is stored with a full mag but a dummy round in the chamber well out of reach of my kid. Even if he could get it, he isn't strong enough to rack the slide yet. When he gets older, he'll be shooting it right beside me and have a full understanding of what pointing it at anything means.Syncrowave 250DX

It & other posts sort of remind me to mention:
Down here in this part of the world,,,,,
we are proud, and will talk endlessly about our various arms---
many of them hand made, custom pieces, that often border on works of art.
But it seems, for one reason or another,
there's no need to discuss what's under the seat of your truck,
or what is always tucked, behind your belt, near the small of your back.

I doubt we'll see either of their likes again".

Engloid...........I also have firearms. Four pistols and a rifle. I have no problem
with people owning firearms and support the right to. But I also think owners should be responsible for them. People are killed or wounded every day by guns that are too easily accessible. My guns are close by along with ammo.
out of sight, easy to get to but not loaded.
If you need to be ready at the drop of a hat should someone break in, why not keep all your firearms loaded? Maybe you could wear a pair of six shooters around the house. Just because you haven't had a problem doesn't
mean your way is correct. Where do you think the kids are getting the guns they take to school. Walmart? They may not get them from their own parent, but as stolen from someone else who was careless. The school and campus shootings are a prime example of what can happen when kids get depressed, snap, and have easy access to firearms. Remember the shooters here never did this before, just this first time and the last especially when they turn the weapon on themself. Why do you think no one attacks a school with explosives? It's locked away and laws won't let just anyone have it. But we have guns all over the place. Even hiding weapons under the seat of your
vehicle as some have stated here which is against the law. I think guns are cool. I love to target shoot. Don't hunt........never had much of a reason to kill something for sport.
Like I said before, I support the right to own firearms to sane and responsible
people. But it seems like just about every time I hear someone that owns lots of firearms and what comes out of their mouth........you'd think we were still living in the OLD WEST. They make their own laws and reasons to justify them and disregard our present laws if it doesn't suit them. Not all are like this but many.
One last thing........going by your chart, are you not letting your children drive? It is the most dangerous you know.Nick

beer fridge lock
Well what started as a dad wanting to stop the kids from getting his beer while gone has went to a bunch of rules and regs about injurys and how much people get hurt and by what, which is not bad but you have to keep in mind IF THEY WANT IT BAD ENOUGH THEY WILL GET IT SOME WAY! I know this first hand from my younger days of drinking and smokeing dope and all it got me was a huge headace and broke the next day so I said to myself this has to stop and I did just that.
Now about the gun issue my dad and I have guns and hunted for years until he couldn't go any more then he gave me all the guns for me and my 2 boys 7 & 8yrs but they know not to play with them period!!!! and they are just fine but we also have some friends of oours who have to boys that have been around guns all there lives hunted,shot trap,skeet until one day there parents were called by the police as a result of a shooting at there house involving the boys which by the way were around 16-17yrs of age the one boy was shot near the hip-groin area and to this day not one of them will tell the truth as to what really happened, so it does'nt matter what you do to teach your kids right or wrong if they want somoething bad enough they will do whatever it takes to do it, BUT if your one of the lucky parents in this crazy world we live in that has trained your children up with good values and has not had any problems with them doing drugs,beer,meth or any other stuff you should be thankfull and give your kids a big hug and tell them you love them for that because that is very rare in this day and age.
Also I had a party at the folks house once when they went away after being told not to and come to find out some one helped them selves to the freezer which by the way dad had just bought a half of beef which was locked in the pole barn were yep your right I UNLOCKED IT FOR THE PARTY and didn't know it until the next day.

But, some people just like to think we're heading for a utopia where nobody will have guns. Myself, I'll gladly give up ALL my guns...just as soon as they can get all the guns from the criminals.
