Izakaya Yuzuki -- my favorite new Japanese restauarant in SF
I stumbled on Izakaya Yuzuki, at the corner of 18th and Guerrero, a week ago Sunday.
It was closed, but the posted menu was enticing, and the people inside (conferring over papers) smiled up as we looked through the window. Tuesday I decided to give it a try. It was so good that I took friends back again on Saturday.
This is a special place. The food is genuine Japanese cooking. The menu includes but does not stress raw fish. The appetizers and the grilled, fried, steamed and braised dishes give the overall meal a more hearth-like than shore-like feel.
The ingredients are fresh and pure, and the chef's touch is light. The presentation is artful, and tends more towards the serene than the fancy. The result is a cuisine that tastes refined but feels comfortable.
The menu has many small plates. The kitchen and the staff know how to do this format the way I like it. We ordered a bunch of plates all at once at the beginning and asked to get them slowly -- only one or two at a time. The meal was perfectly paced and they picked an order to bring the dishes that made a really good progression.
Service was great. Our waiter JR was a joy. A very nice man who advised us well in making menu selections. And another small thing I like: whenever he mentioned a special or anything off the menu, he told us the price so we did not have to ask. We met a couple of others from the staff (and the second time, Chef Takashi came to say hello as well) and all were very nice people.
I like the atmosphere too. Low-key, good table spacing. The music was a lot of Gilberto, Billie Holiday, thinks like that. The stuff I play at home for dinner parties. :-)
Onto the food!
I went there twice, with different friends, and so I tried a lot of dishes. We did not try the sashimi plate either time. There was too much else calling my name....
--- Obanzai: Kyoto style cooked local vegetables 3 ways ---
This was three little bowls. The first we tasted was the hijiki salad, and this was very telling. Clearly home made. Perfect temperature, texture; broth made with dashi (I think) and a very wonderful umami flavor. It gave us high hopes of things to come. Second little bowl had a sesame tofu with a little dot of wasabi. Creamy and delicious, the dab of wasabi perfect. Bowl #3 had cooked potato (yam) with a black sesame sauce. Ordered this both times, a lovely starter.
-- Zaru Tofu: House made fresh Tofu with Sansho-koji Soy --
I just love fresh-made tofu. When I've had it before (Eiji in SF, En in MYC) it's been very soft with a kind of dashi sauce. This was a little firmer, kind of a 6-inch pancake. It was persented beautifully in a lovely little basket within a low ceramic bowl. Each person gets a cozy bowl and wooden spoon. Once served, you top with micro-thin sliced scalliion, grated ginger, and a really wonderful soy sauce. The sauce the 'sansho-koji soy'; It's made with koji they make themselves. (I believe Koji is kind of like the equivalent of sourdough starter for bread, or mold for a French cheese. It's a living thing they keep going that's used to flavor stuff deeply. They use the Koji in several dishes and I believe that the koji and dashi are behind a lot of the wonderful flavors here).
-- Pirikara Cucumber: Cucumber with sesame oil and shichimi --
Refreshing and tasty, I'd order it again, though this is not a standout here were so much is so good. If you must choose, go with the tsukemono first time.
-- Suji Nikomi: Beef Tendon cooked overnight in miso --
This is a very strange dish, at least to me. It is fantastic. Odd chewy-gelatenous texture, rich flavor. It was maybe my boyfriend's favorite thing the first visit. But the second time we did not even order it, as one diner wouldn't go near the idea.
-- Satsuma Age: House made fish cake with seaweed and local vegetables --
A delicous fried dish. Little clumps of fish & stuff, fried with a wonderful touch. I will order again, but on your first visit, if you like shrimp, go for the Kakiage instead.
-- Tsukemono: House made "nuka" (rice bran) fermented vegetable pickles --
As good as any tsukemono in SF. I always order tsukemono when I try a new Japanese restaurant. I find that if they are excellent, the restaurant is usually excellent also. These are house made. Very light in touch -- not pickled for very long, I don't think. Our dish came with 3 kinds: little carrots, little radishes, and cucumbers. I could eat these every day. Sublime.
-- (Yakitori) Tsukune: Grilled chicken meat ball --
Another dish I love. Delicious, but not as good as....
-- (Yakitori) Teba: Chicken Wing --
Now this was amazing. They marinate these overnight and have two wings on a skewer. I am not a fan of chicken wings, but they were so good we ordered them both times.
-- Yaki Surume Ika: "Salt Koji" marinated and grilled Hokkaido Surume squid --
I want this again right now please. The body of the squid is perfectly grilled and cut in rings. Beautifully tender. The tentacles are perfectly fried and served with the body. Oh how I love squid!
-- Grilled Mackerel --
This was a special, not on the menu. Wonderful. Flavor, perfectly cooked.
-- Kakiaga: Deep fried White Shrimp and burdock with Green tea salt --
This was my favorite fried item on the menu. Totally amazing. I've had this dish in Tokyo a couple of times, and I liked this better. Pieces of shrimp and vegetable kind of bound loosely together by threads of something starchy (don't know what) in a flat fried cake. Also, the vegetables were slightly different on the two nights. I like when a place adds small variations. Don't know whether this is because they are settling in on a menu, or if they will continue to play and change; I hope it is the latter.
-- Agedashi Tofu: Deep fried tofu dipped in sauce with salmon roe --
This was also made with their house-made tofu. Same pancake shape as the Zaru Tofu, with grated mountain yam and salmon roe on top. Delicious and unique, not the way agedashi is usually served. However, the Zaru Tofu shows off the tofu better. It's funny, we split this dish as we did all the others. I think I would like this more if I had the whole thing to myself, because in serving it the toppings moved around and I didnt' get to have every bite the way I wanted. :-)
-- Chawan-Mushi with Uni: Egg custard with sea urchin --
Unbelievable. My favorite chawan-mushi in SF. Not served in a tall skinny bowl. Lower and wider. Had this both times. Each time with different goodies buried underneath. Both times, on top, a beautiful piece of uni that was warmed but not cooked, some dashi, and a little hint of grated yuzu. The dish comes with a wooden lid, and when they lift the lid, the delicate smell with its hint of yuzu is glorious.
-- Koshihikari rice cooked in Japanese earthen pot --
We ordered this the second time. We asked for it last, to be served with pickles and miso soup. The miso soup was not on the menu, but they made it for us any way. This was how we ended the meal. It was sublime and perfect and in a way epitomizes the meal. The miso soup appeared to have a little tuft of mushrooms levitating above it; turns out it was sitting on a little sculpted bit of potato. The pickles, as I've said, are amazing. The rice. Perfect rice, totally clean with no added flavors, nothing fancy about it. Perfect way to end the meal.
We did not order dessert either time. They have some, but at a place like this, it's not my thing.
I hope the above tempts you into going. They are not filling up yet, but they get everything right and I am pretty confident they will succeed. But we need to get the word out.
Izakaya Yuzuki is new, but on a par with Wakuriya and Kiss (my two other non-sushi Bay Area favorites). And to me Yuzuki is better than some other favorites: Kappou Gomi, Izakaya Sozai, Nihon Whiskey Lounge, and Chotto,. It is definitely the place I'm most excited about returning to.
Also: They are planning a special New Years Eve menu. 6 courses for $65, I believe. I am trying to convince my friends to change our plans and go. :-)

re: DezzerSF
What are your favorite dishes?
re: Melanie Wong
I liked the sunomono with crab, light touch and a good starter. I enjoyed their version of agedashi tofu, but it's quite different than anything I've had. It's served as one big piece and not battered.
The marinated wings were our favorite of the yakitori, no binchotan here though. The miso tendon had big flavor and perfect texture.
re: DezzerSF
Went back last night and the tsukune was better than the first time around. They served it with salt/shichimi on the side, and it added the extra kick it needed. The chicken meatballs were really juicy, we even ordered seconds.
The koji marinated kara-age was nice as well, moist and nicely fried.
re: DezzerSF
I'm headed back again tomorrow night.
I think it may be time to try the kara-age...
re: pauliface
I didn't notice the kakiage on the menu last night, I need to try that.
Also, forgot to mention that the buta kakuni (pork belly) was meltingly tender with a delicious kombu broth along with a perfectly braised slice of daikon.
re: tjinsf
That's strange about being closed. What I did was go to the website and reserve online before going. That way you can be pretty sure they are open. Or call first I guess...
The dishes are different sizes, but most can be shared among three. (The chicken wings you'd need 2 orders, and the pickles 1 1/2 or 2 as well). I think we ordered about 11-12 things for 3 of us, but we really wanted to try a lot. We specifically asked them bring it slowly, drank tons of sake, and were there for probably over 2 hours. Depending on how big your appetites are, you could probably get away with less....
re: pauliface
made a res for tonight, before the reservation wasn't working on their website. must be getting the kinks worked out.
re: tjinsf
Enjoy! Everything is great, but I'd say my absolute favorites are the Obanzai, Zaru Tofu, Tsukemono, Teba, Yaki Surume Ika, Kakiage, and Chawan Mushi.
I don't think I'm as big a fan as you. I think I also tend to compare these new upscale American Izakayas with real ones in Japan so of course the prices and the style is always a bit of a shock. So I'll try to judge it compared to the other american "Izakaya".
The two favorite dishes we got were the Kaikaige and the Yaki Surume Ika. The Kaikaige was a good size compared to some of the other dishes and crisp without being greasy. The Yaki Surume Ika was as you said cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce was good too. The Zaru Tofu was pretty good homemade tofu but not exceptional. I found the texture of the Chawan-Mushi to be off from what I am used to.
We also had the Sunomono with dungeness crab. I found the sweetness of the crab overwhelmed by the pickling liquid.
They didn't have the local sardines in miso that they have listed on the website menu.
The only dish that was really horrible to my taste was the dessert. I like that Japanese dessert aren't usually sweet but the "pannacotta" which was basically bland cold tofu with sickeningly sweet brown sugar was inedible for us and we left it.
The sake selection is quite good, no surprising and there are pricey non-alcoholic drinks like very sweet ginger ale that is uncarbonated and a selection of teas.
We asked that the food not come out all at once but even still it was served very rapidly with one course hot on the heel of another, another different from izakayas I've been to where you spend a while eating, drinking and hanging out.
The space was pretty cold when we were there, the music was a bit loud and there is no sound baffling so it can get pretty noisy even half full.
The food is better than at Chotto and Nojo. The prices are just too high in my view but in keeping with the current SF prices it would appear. Without alcohol or tip our bill for two was 75 dollars.
I think with the current influx of more upscale places in the Mission and the foot traffic around 18th, it may break the curse of that location.
Izakaya Yuzuki
598 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110
re: tjinsf
Is it typical of Japanese service for all the dishes to come at once (or as soon as they are ready)?
Years ago, when I first started visiting izakaya and sushi bars with Japanese friends, they usually ordered a few dishes at a time. We incrementally ordered more as needed.
If I get a chef's selection or set meal, I notice that the pacing is usually good. However, If I order many dishes at once at an izakaya, they are often brought out one after the other; way to fast.
The only way to control this seems to be the above mentioned manner of ordering only a few at a time (like at a tapas bar) and ordering more when ready. Is it just a cross cultural misunderstanding to order everything you want upfront?
Oh, and regarding dessert; have you tried Sumika in Los Altos? It's one of the few Japanese establishments where I make a habit of ordering dessert.
re: jman1
Yes that is true at japanese izakayas you do order as you go along so yes it would be better to do that if you want so space between courses although in other Japanese restaurants you don't do that. So yes there could be a cultural element. it may also be that most izakaya is really "fast food" and is best right after it's been grilled, steamed or fried so i think that's a big reason it all comes out quick. There was only 2 tables full when we got there although it was 1/2 full when we left so it could also be that the kitchen wasn't busy so it was just putting out the food as soon as it got the order.
re: peterme
I have not been to ippuku yet, but would like to try it. If I do I'll post a follow-up...
re: peterme
Ippuku definitely has better yakitori, since it's their specialty. It's hard to compare the rest though, since their menus aren't too similar.
re: peterme
I prefer Kiraku to Ippuku. Better food and better service.
2566B Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704
re: peterme
The dishes are quite different from what I've had at Ippuku. Ippuku is primarily yakitori, whereas there are only three yakitori offerings on Yuzuki's menu. I would say, broadly, that Ippuku is satisfying drinking food, very savory and well-prepared, where Yuzuki has some more unusual and nuanced offerings. I haven't really had a meal like this elsewhere in the city.
We ordered quite a few things off their fairly limited menu, including the chicken wings (standard yakitori, maybe slightly less awesome than Ippuku or Nojo), the beef tendon (amazing, tender, flavorful, and really satisfying), chawan mushu (very silky and delicate, fragrant and subtler than Kiss Seafood's version), the cucumber salad (refreshing, tasty), the pickles, the soy panna cotta (unusual), the grilled squid (probably our least favorite dish of the evening, it was flabby, not as grilled as I like, but still above average, with a nice piquant aioli-style dip that helped offset the underflavored squid).
Sadly, the restaurant was completely empty for our entire meal. I hope more people support this restaurant. It's certainly one of the best meals you can walk into (with no wait) anywhere in the neighborhood. Will definitely be coming back!
re: peterme
it's like comparing almost two different styles and cuisines. Ippuku is much more a yakitori joint while Yuzuki is doing the range you see at an Izakaya but at much more refined level than the ones I've been to not in the states. They both are the same price wise.
Great place, some of the best cooked Japanese food I've had. Tskukemono, silverskin (tendon), chicken wing, grilled horse mackerel, fried shrimp and burdock thingies, all great. Looking forward to going back and trying more things.
The only thing I wouldn't order again was the Koshihikari rice, good texture but no flavor, maybe there's some subtle Japanese point but to me it was a waste of $11.
It was completely empty at 6:30 and only had a few customers when I left around 8:00. A photographer was there taking pictures for SF Weekly, presumably it'll be reviewed next week, maybe that'll bring in more customers.
re: Robert Lauriston
Glad you liked! And great news about SF Weekly -- this place needs some publicity and love...
Echoing the love for Yuzuki. I've been twice for amazing meals. I particularly liked beef tataki, served with onion and citrus, and the elegant onigiri, which look like toast points topped with either uni or ikura. On my second visit, miso tendon wasn't on the menu; I loved it on my first visit.
Like others, I missed the subtlety in the koshihikari rice and was happier with onigiri as the rice course.
They were pretty empty last night. If you haven't been, go -- both to keep them in business and to get a great meal.
agreed - we ordered a bunch of different items - one was just OK, everything else was very good or excellent.
great sake (list) too.
it's not cheap and the plates are small, but it doesn't seem over priced - given the quality of the ingredients and the labor-intensive preparations.
they still don't have it together service/timing-wise though, surprised after 10 months.
there was a small wait on friday night which was refreshing to know that they're doing well, but i still see it half-empty most weeknights. hope they can break the curse on this space.
definitely go wit a lot of people to try many different things
I went to Yuzuki with two friends last April. I spend one or two months each spring in SF, and the rest of the year in Tokyo. Yuzuki really surprised me; it would be really hip in Tokyo and I couldn't believe it is in SF. We brought sake (from Japan) and the corkage was reasonable. The food was quite good by Tokyo standards, which made me feel that SF is really lucky to have a place this fabulous. Highly recommended.
re: Tripeler
It sounds awesome. Do you know if there are enough vegetarian items to make a meal of?
re: Josh
The menu's online. http://yuzukisf.com/our-food.php
re: Robert Lauriston
Thanks. Booked for tomorrow night, can't wait. Menu looks fantastic.
re: Tripeler
i wouldn't really say i'ts hip - hasn't quite caught on yet....
Went last week with a group of pals I think on a Weds ~ 730. Dining room was only partially full but we did see more people arriving ~ 900. Is it open late? Our server made a point of explaining how their housemade koji influences every dish. Highlights were the tofu (toppings really made this dish), tsukune (really tasty), kara-age, onigiri topped w uni, Coedo beer made from yams. We also tried the chicken wings, beef tendon, mizuna w dungeness, pork belly, ika, chawan mushi w uni (decent but the one at Mission Chinese Food trumps), corn and shrimp fritters (listed in order of enjoyment). I love perfectly made plain rice so I would have ordered it if anyone else had wanted it. No dessert menu was offered so we ended up going to Bi Rite ice cream. The biggest minus was parking, which is ridiculously difficult in the Mission these days, but harder still when you're trying to make a reserved time. I had to park on 14th St. I wish I had known about the valet at Locanda before going (though Delfina is around the corner and would be handier).
I went to Izakaya Yuzuki last week and was really impressed! After a couple bad experiences in SF (Nombe, Chotto) I wasn't looking for much but this place is on a whole different level & is my new favorite Japanese restaurant in SF.
Highlights were obanazai (local vegetables served three ways), kakiage (shrimp & roots tempura), kobe beef tataki, and teba (chicken wing). The tsukemono (pickled vegetable) was even outstanding & fermented in rice bran.
We also had the special bluefin tuna sashimi, which was fantastic. The yaki omusubi (grilled rice ball with uni) was very good. The zaru tofu (homemade) was also very good (although I eat so much tofu it was my least favorite dish even though I liked the preparation). There were no misses at all in any of our dishes.
Really good sake list as well.
I think they are experts at fermentation -- the vegetables and pickles in particular showed really high skill.
There are many other dishes that looked great that we didn't have a chance to try -- salt-koji marinated squid with yuzu mayonnaise, chawan mushi, shiokara, koshihikari rice. Maybe next time..
re: calumin
Definitely try the Chawan Mushi next time. :-)
Also last time there was a rice with mushrooms that I found delicious.

Deschutes River Recordings: Eric D. Johnson
Over the last six months we've been working hard to create the Deschutes River Recordings, a unique partnership between musician and cause. We're dedicated to keeping the Deschutes River healthy and clean and to supporting independent music in the Northwest, so this summer we invited Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats, Laura Gibson, and Eric Earley of Blitzen Trapper to Central Oregon to perform river-inspired songs along our beloved waterway.
We're incredibly proud of this collaboration and we're thrilled to present you with the first in the Deschutes River Recording series: Eric D. Johnson performing "Ballad of Easy Rider." The original song, performed by The Byrds and written by Roger McGuillan and Bob Dylan, is upbeat and lighthearted, but Eric slows way down on his epic ballad. Contemplative and almost spiritual, this song echoes our deep connection and respect for the river.

A Caroline County woman, Maggie James, just died at the age of 112. Her grandaughter told my colleague Portsia Smith that the key to James' long life was sticking to a diet her doctor recommended in the 1930s, after she was diagnosed with high blood pressure.
The doctor's order: Don't eat pork, and eat very little salt. James stuck with that advice and ate mostly fish and chicken for the rest of her life, Smith reported.
"'Her health was pretty good ever since then," her granddaughter, Vernessa Ware said.
The story got me thinking about how often people complain about the shifting nature of health advice. How can you know whether to eat butter or margarine, eat beef or go vegetarian, drink a nightly glass of wine or not, when old advice keeps getting shoved aside by new research?
It's true that it can be tough to keep up with new reports on individual foods and nutrients. But some advice really doesn't get shoved aside, does it?
In the 1930s, Maggie James' doctor told her to limit her salt intake; doctors advise the same thing now, pointing out that most Americans consume far more than the recommended amount of sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure and up the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
In the 1930s, James was told to stop eating pork and shifted to a diet of mostly chicken and fish. It apparently served her well, and today, many doctors still recommended eating lots of fish and poultry — the popular Mediterranean diet features both.
I'm convinced the cornerstones of good health are firmly rooted. Eat lots of fresh foods, especially fruits and veggies. Exercise. Don't smoke. Limit your alcohol consumption. Get a good night's sleep. Try not to get too worked up about things. Be socially connected, as James was.
And laugh. When asked the secret to her longevity, James reportedly joked that God had forgotten about her. You can read more about her here: http://news.fredericksburg.com/newsdesk/2012/06/06/states-oldest-woman-dies/

Positive Force
Max Ochs Still Works and Sings For Social Justice
By all rights, Max Ochs should be bitter. His college buddies, John Fahey and Robbie Basho, had more well-known and critically lauded musical careers. And the rare instance when Ochs does receive attention from the press, there's always an obligatory reference to his more famous cousin, Phil. Far from having a chip on his shoulder, the 67-year old Severna Park resident is bemused and grateful that folks are paying attention at all.
In fact, Ochs' appreciation and positive attitude are evident in the title of his brand new release on Tompkins Square Records, Hooray for Another Day, a name that might sound treacly by any other artist. The name comes from his father-in-law, Stephen "Tennis" Ogilvy, a charismatic Ivy League-educated, racquet-wielding father of nine, who seems like he might belong in a Wes Anderson adaptation of Infinite Jest. Ogilvy, an inductee into the New England Tennis Hall of Fame, began every day by yelling the phrase upstairs to his children. "It has an effect on your psyche," Ochs explains. "Pretty soon we'll start our own political party, the Hooray party. We can sing the Imaginational Anthem."
Ochs' "Imaginational Anthem" is actually quite real. He wrote the instrumental in 1966 in New York, partly as an alternative to the Star-Spangled Banner and as a tribute to John Fahey, who was Ochs' houseguest at the time. Although Ochs recorded the song in 1969, it remained unreleased until Josh Rosenthal, the founder of Tompkins Square Records, put it out in 2004. Rosenthal was so taken by the song, in fact, that he ended up naming a three-volume compilation of American Primitive folk guitarists after it.
Ochs made his recording debut in 1966 with a couple of instrumental guitar ragas on a Takoma Records compilation called Contemporary Guitar. Since Ochs never actively sought to pursue a musical career, his recorded output was slow and sporadic at best. Before traveling to Japan to perform for the Gunma Blues Society in 2001, Ochs hastily recorded a collection of songs called Letter to the Editor so that he'd have some merch to sell.
Hooray is a more meticulous affair and a better example of Ochs' blend of folk, blues guitar, and raga that seems peculiar to Marylanders. Ochs tries his hand at "Raga Puti," one of Mahatma Gandhi's favorite peace songs. "I tune the guitar to D A D D A D which are open fifth, and let the bottle [slide] float around looking for a musical idea," Ochs says. "It might catch a fragment of something like Blind Willie Johnson's 'Dark Was the Night.'" One of Hooray's highlights is Ochs' cover of Fahey's "In Christ There is No East or West," one of the staples of his live show. Ochs' dexterity and musical precision arguably are better than Fahey's, and the song finds new life in Ochs' hands.
Though the recordings are new, many of the songs were written a long time ago. In 1964, Ochs and a high school pal, Mike Tucker, wrote "Stranger," inspired by the Camus book of the same name and predating the Cure's "Killing an Arab" by 14 years. Ochs gives most of the credit to Tucker for the song, but Ochs' spare guitar playing and tentative, almost whispered vocals give the song a loner folk vibe, reminiscent of Pearls Before Swine. The song can't help but conjure up old memories for Ochs, who recalls Tucker fondly. "We were close back in high school and the years after college," he says. "But I ran up a mess of parking tickets while driving his Jeep through the doors of perception and Marcia, his wife, got mad at me." Although the two drifted apart, Ochs maintains that he'd "love to make amends and start playing some more music with him."
It's not as if Ochs could hold on to hard feelings even if he wanted to. He seems wired for positivity. Even with the nation's bleak economic outlook, Ochs' optimism is unflagging. For one thing, he's a big fan of the president-elect. "Now I can breathe because the better man won," he says. "Obama has the makings of a very good president, a real leader, someone I actually feel like following. I nod my head in agreement when he talks. Last time I felt like this about a leader was with JFK."
Ochs even views the energy situation as more of an opportunity than a challenge, phrasing it in his own free-spirited way: "The sun doesn't raise his prices. The wind blows free."
Ochs has earned his Pollyannish perspective. In a 2005 NPR interview, Ochs recalled protesting the Vietnam War and how he "got thrown in jail for two nights for stopping the Armed Forces Day parade in New York City." He's spent almost 20 years working with the Community Action Partnership to fight poverty. Social awareness and a driving sense of justice are traits that Ochs shared with his cousin Phil. Max described the complicated genealogy of the two distant cousins in his liner notes for Letter to the Editor, "Two brothers married two sisters at the same wedding ceremony, and his grandfather was my grandfather's brother, his grandma was my grandma's sister."
Max Ochs neither shrinks from his blood ties to Phil, nor does he try to parlay the relation for his own reward. Max has recorded a cover of Phil's "When I'm Gone," and on Hooray, he recites a poem that he wrote about his ill-starred cousin. Max had written the poem shortly after Phil's 1976 death and was motivated by "sadness, sorrow and disappointment that the world had let him down so badly that he committed suicide.
"I was angry," he continues. "I wanted to bring him back to life so I could kick his butt for lacking the imagination to see that he could get through if he would just have had patience." Max recalls of Phil that he "was astute in his insight into the flaws in our system, not just the government, but also the social system comprised of many 'small circles of friends.'"
The members of Max's own small circle--Phil Ochs, Fahey, Basho--all had their own lives truncated in sad, tragic ways. Besides Phil's suicide, Fahey's hard living weakened his heart in 2001, and Basho died by a mysterious chiropractic accident in 1986. And then there's Max Ochs, with his Cheshire Cat grin and his damnable optimism, still making music. When asked why he seems so calm and content, Ochs first plays it off as an aspect of his high metabolism, but then adds, "I suspect it may have more to do with my woeful state of ignorance. I just don't know any better. If I did, I would worry a lot more."
Ochs is playing a handful of shows in support of Hooray's release. In addition to the released songs, he's playing a few Blind Willie Johnson blues numbers. "I feel like a recycled teenager," Ochs says of his recent flurry of gigs and the attention. "I am just going to have to be honest and admit that I am enjoying the whole fuss, because I really do love making music." Ochs, the happiest bluesman in the history of blues, turns to a line from Mississippi John Hurt, the Delta blues artist that Ochs and his buddies helped rediscover back in 1963, to describe his present state of mind: "I'm satisfied, tickled too."

Patch Tuesday sounds death knell for Win XP SP2
Microsoft released the expected four security advisories on Tuesday, three of which earn the dread rating of critical. They collectively address five security vulnerabilities. There are two critical fixes for Windows in the batch, including an update designed to resolve a zero-day vulnerability involving Windows Help and Support …
Falling on the sword.
Hey, give it up for DRM forever!
I do not steal shit and have to live with MS$ Goddamn stupid (swallowing) of . . .
We should not go further with that thought.
Bill you left some stupid fucks in control, OK?
I am thinking about reloading ME.
Last stable build of Windows.
Not kidding.
Not at all.
ME? You cannot be serious!
ME? Stable?? Most of us thought naming ME after a seriously debilitating ailment was quite deliberate.
The last stable release of Windows was NT4 SP6, or arguably NT3.51, although current XP SP3 isn't bad. The last stable Windows 9x was Windows 98 SE.
I saw your reply and thought of this...
Quality =)
NT4? You cannot be serious!
I won't deny it, microsoft has a tough sell on their hands. They are finding it increasingly difficult to compete against older versions of windows, which users are finding entirely adequate. Sure win7 is nice, but most users couldn't be bothered to pay for it if the older OSes were still supported.
Microsoft's strategy has been make older versions obsolete artificially: Deliberately breaking compatibility such as making .net deliberately not work on older platforms. Convincing services, like netflix, to use microsoft DRM which is incompatible with older systems. Bundling silverlight/IE into windows. Making drivers incompatible.
I feels only natural that the upgrade cycle will slow down over time as operating systems mature. I wonder how long the upgrade train can go on? A century from now, will we really be faced with the same pressures to upgrade to a new platform we don't want? Is that business model even sustainable?
About as stable as actinium.
It goes about as long as astatine does before flying into little radioactive pieces, even if left in the dark undisturbed.
A friend of mine who was using Windows ME called me over once to show me something. He was posting a message to Livejournal, and noticed that his check-boxes and the arrows on his drop-down menu were tilted diagonally. Oh, sure, you might try to blame the application, but the application merely asks the Windows API for a check-box or a drop-down menu, and it gets what it gets.
That machine does not run Windows ME anymore; he put up with it for longer than anybody else I've known, but that little incident was persuasive enough. It is a curious coincidence that, ever since he dumped Windows ME, the friend in question has never again seen check-boxes or arrows on drop-down menus tilted diagonally.
I think your posting is very well stated. (which is basically what I say below, with observations)
I had good reason to move from Windows NT 4 to Windows 2000 back then...Windows 2000 really came with some features I wanted to have, such as fully integrated plug-n-play support and the ability to service the operating system *once* per service pack! (Anybody remember updating NT after installing a new driver or OS feature and then having to reinstall the last service pack? I don't miss those days at all.) Microsoft didn't really have to work too hard to sell me on those benefits.
On my systems, and across a lot of different installations, Windows 2000 proved itself to be a stable and FAST workhorse of an operating system, much more so than any release of Windows had ever been (again, in my experience). It was a bit on the hungry side for RAM and not all that secure. At least the security improved somewhat over time (though I would have like to seen the security boosting features of XP SP2 brought to Win2k).
I moved some systems to Windows XP when some of the software I wanted to use demanded it. Windows XP was definitely slower, naggier (do you want to clean up your desktop? no. how about now? no. now, maybe? no. What about cleaning your desktop...>BLAM!< ... "Local Area Network Connection is now connected, 100.0 mbps...siiiiiigh...) and came with some definite non-features such as product activation, the start of the DRM-related protected output path(s) and other stuff. Oh, and the Explorer windows that lose their shape and size settings any time you change your screen resolution--plus, some, like the floppy drive window, don't save their settings at all, choosing instead to default to some asinine large window that takes over too much of the screen. Yay for progress.
I have no use at all for Vista and Win7, the shell in each one is so badly broken and stripped of capabilities that I came to know and use that I just can't do it. If they were going to copy the Macintosh, couldn't they at least have done it *properly*?
Microsoft won't sell me another copy of Windows because there is nothing I want to be found. Make the damn thing work, make the UI sensible and make it lean 'n' mean...and I'll buy it. Otherwise, no sale.
Windows 2000 still soldiers on with most of my computers. It does what I want and has every feature I need. I'll run it until I can no longer do so. And when I can't, it looks like I'll be done with Windows. I don't know for sure where I'm going yet. Probably a mix of Mac OS, Linux and some type of FreeBSD derivative.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Windows peaked at Windows 2000 - The first genuinely stable version of windows.
Everything since has been a naggier and increasingly crippled version of the OS.
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit now it it sucks ass - apps are unstable and even core operating system components regularly stop responding. I reckon I'll be downgrading to 32 bit XP SP3 before long. I would downgrade to Win2000 if it was still being supported and patched.
Might even be time to run Ucuntu ...
OS version usage
Do you guys know where I can find a report on OS Version adoption rates?
I'm curious about comparing OS X release update uptake to Windows rates
no reason other than curiosity
Good Luck
Microsoft doesn't count what version is used, only that it sold a license for the latest one (whether or not you use downgrade rights makes no difference to them)
Evil SP2
I hate it - much prefer SP1 or SP3 - but then I was trying to install on a P4 2.4!!!!
XPsp3 breaks some machines. I've deliberately rolled several machines back over performance and stability issues.
IMHO sp3 was a way to transition people to Vista/Windows 7 with it's excessive memory usage and slower graphics performance.
AMD perchance?
If so, there's a patch for this. There were some OEM's that didn't label their systems correctly (internally I mean). The original install ended up using Intel drivers instead, which break SP3
Apart from numpties & "Tick box" admins
Does anyone actually have "Automatic Updates" enabled?
The box I'm using to add this comment is a 2003 vintage AMD 64 @ SP2 & *not* fucked^H^H^H^H^H^H updated automagically. No "Updates" since April 2004, MS address space is blocked on my perimeter firewall, I use Opera & Eudora (*NOT* security by obscurity, I genuinely prefer them) , my hosts file is now quite large (but doesn't impact on performance) & my machine runs sweet as a nut, and has done for over 7 years*.
At work, by contrast, automagic updates are enabled, we use Fista (I know!!) & the PCs, which are more than three orders of magnitude more powerful/RAM packed than mine, take 15 - 20 minutes just to get to a usable condition.
Advances eh?
Bollocks I say.
* Apart from 2 weeks over Crimbo in 2008. I was in Germany & switched it off :-(
RE: Apart from numpties & "Tick box" admins
My advice....
Treat yourself to a nice new PC at home, hire (or suggest to boss) some decent sysadmins to sort out your work PC and go on holiday more ;)
SP3 BSOD = End of Line...
I'm always just that little bit hesitant about installing XP SP3 as it has a minor tendency to kill the occasional PC, requiring a manual uninstall. I guess it's not a big deal, but wonder how many PCs are affected.
Last time I looked XP SP3 was still free.
It should also be pretty stable by now too*
* for a MS product.
SP3 is fine
I've just rolled it out onto 450 PC's, AMD and Intel and I've not had any issues. The only real problem is that a couple of AMD boxes wouldn't clean build from an SP3 image so i had to build them as SP2 then install SP3 but as I say that's a couple of PC's.
no problems here
rolled SP3 out on to just 25 machines this week as a test...everyone completed successfully.
if you're getting BSOD's there was a problem before you started the update tbh.
SP3 fine here on multiple machines
Including a Q8200 and the afore mentioned P4.
Work is now Windows 7 and is our W7 test PC!!
Re: Automatic Updates
@Neil Greatorex:
>Does anyone actually have "Automatic Updates" enabled?
"Automatic Updates" enabled? Are you INSANE? That is the first thing disable after installing XP.
Happily running vanilla SP2 behind AV/Firewall/NAT/Firefox/AdBlock/NoScript for many years now.
Only thing thing I am starting to consider is a 64bit machine for 4GB memory; I tend to do most of development in virtual machines (win2k in VM - smaller memory footprint). That and Eclipse regularly scoffing 1GB - what a pig!
Maybe that's when I move off Windows and onto 64bit Lenny full time (as opposed to just the laptop)?
Installed Windows 7 64bit on this machine on a spare drive. Performance was underwhelming so off it went.
Re:AC @ 13:03
""Automatic Updates" enabled? Are you INSANE?"
Nope, neither updates enabled nor insane, thought my post made that clear :-)
I'll have *two* pints please...
Went to manually update my home Win 2K last night, and no updates were available, so June was the last patch for me; running on a pair of Tualatin's.
My work 2K machine died last week; not sure why but a video card fixed the apparent problem the week before, I still have to try replacing the battery for the BIOS. So I moved to a spare Win XP SP3 machine, and am trying to learn this OS peculiarities.
Just got a Win 7 machine to do data acquisition; is it ever a pain to use. Oh yeah, had to disable all the auto updates to keep from losing week long data files it had acquired. Why does it always have to reboot; uptime is not its strong suit. I'm still using a Win 95 machine for data acquisition on a Pentium 133 that has been running fine for a decade.
Defrag has not improved since Win 3.0, and that was pretty bad.
I hear you brother!
I've got a NT box and an 2K box collectiong data as well, Good ol' BX boards max out with Tualatin (yes they work with BX) My workstation is an XPx64 and I have to upgrade it 'cause x64 don't have SP3... O well, progress. Windows 7 does have some nice eye candy
You *don't* have to upgrade!
Hold it!
Windows XP x86-64 is actually a stripped-down build of Windows Server 2003 software--and as such, it is treated as part of the Windows Server 2003 product lifecycle. Service Pack 2 on that side of things is the latest service pack and support is NOT being dropped for it on XP x86-64 or Windows Server.
It's also likely (as per the M$ service pack roadmap) that SP2 will be the last service pack for WinServ 2003 and XP's x86-64 bit build. As such, it will be supported until those operating systems lose support sometime in 2015.
Maybe it's time...
... to think about replacing the win2k box with a nice new machine running Linux. I still have some big barriers to cross (fewer with time thanks to lots of accumulated work and some attrition), but it is getting to a point that I can't overwrite Windows installations fast enough for my liking.
When they break "everything" we ever wrote (not really true, but it often seems that way) and change almost literally everything in the user interface and admin tools, they make us free agents. Maybe MS should have thought about that.
Re: I hear you brother!
XP x64 is based on the 5.2 kernel so support for SP2 will run till 2014 same as server 2003.
If it bluescreens when you install sp3,
the system was bolluxed up to begin with and needed to be rebuilt anyway. It was the vendor training website and developed in-house apps that kept us from upgrading to sp3 at the last place I worked.
@ Tom 13
"upgrading to sp3"?
In which ring* do you have to reside to consider a Microsoft patch an upgrade?
* Dante..
Of course an MS patch is an upgrade. Oh, wait, sorry, you were being hilarious.
All MS products suck lol!!!11
not gonna happen
There's only 1 thing that might get people still using XP to upgrade: a reasonably priced upgrade. MS is still thinking they can scare those hordes of XP users into coughing up $125, to change the OS on computers that do nothing but run a browser. And it's not going to happen, ever.
I have 2 XP systems here at home, and no intention of 'upgrading' them. I have plenty of other uses for that money.
*Something* will happen eventually
I can relate to the sentiment, but at some point one gets trapped and has to install something, and that can end up being newer/bigger/slower than one might like. The liberating news is that if a machine does nothing but run a browser, then Windows is at best optional baggage and the Live CDs should start spinning immediately.
I have rolled out SP3 to machines...
of all sorts of hardware specs.. and I have never had a machine BSOD with it, or any of the issues above.
Probally because I know what the hell I am doing, and run a proper network.
Only people who have bsod's with SP3 are people who have undetected root kit infected machines.
Oh wait.. I have a well designed network, so a rebuild only takes 30 minutes + apps to come down via SCCM
F**king muppet admins..
You can....
Build an XP disc with SP3 and lots of updates in, so a new install won't have the time and problems of installing on top of SP2
This is why I hate Vista's inability to slipstream SP2, there is a way but is very long and never got round to it!
I find the lower end Vista Machines (Especially Laptops are much better "re"grading to XPSP3 (XP3?)
At least one specific problem with SP3 and certain OEM Windows installs
Described here: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/Windows-XP-SP3-Problems-Continue/
"The number of systems that this had affected were minimal" ... specifically at least any HP computer with an AMD microprocessor, and apparently because HP had installed a version of Windows XP including an Intel power management driver. Result as far as I recall: unbootable.
Probably some people who never bothered to install the service pack now will, and will be bitten.
So DO make a restore-on-bare-metal backup of your system partition before installing SP3, or any major or even minor software update. For instance, use the Knoppix bootable CD and the partimage or ntfsclone tools, and split the backup file into compressed 330 MB segments: they pack nicely on CD, DVD, and SD storage. Partimage seems to work OK unless there are bad sectors on an NTFS partition (which the XP system partition is), ntfsclone apparently gets around them - I have a machine that I haven't tried this on yet; does anyone want the recipe?
Automatic Updates: most users are numpties
If most people disabled autoupdate, most people would never install a single update again. Just like with Adobe Reader where up until I noticed much of my family's computers had a HUGELY outdated version on (yes, I'm ashamed...). For us techies, disabling is a good idea, but if you spread that widely to casual users you're going to make Windows even more of a security fail than it is now.

"Today by title is one of grief and remembrance," said Adolph Block Post 1305 Commander and D-Day invader Tom Scardino on Monday, May 26 from the rear deck of the Mineola Memorial Library overlooking Memorial Park and a medium-sized crowd gathered near the war monument below. "Today is Memorial Day; when we pay tribute to our fallen heroes. Today we wish to also honor the wives, the children, parents, fathers, the brothers, sisters and friends of the heroes who paid that supreme price."
Following a very well-attended Memorial Day parade through the streets of Mineola that started out at Wilson Park and ended at Memorial Park under the 80-plus degree heat of an early summer sun, the handful of veterans and residents crowded under what little shade the trees of the park provided as various local representatives spoke from the dais.American Legion Post 349 Commander Carl Marchese wanted to honor those who couldn't march that day, because they fought the good fight but couldn't come home to their families. He was named Post Commander in 2012. Marchese was instrumental in brining in Yuri Karasz, the first female Post member since its inception in 1922.
Marchese served at Fort Bragg, N.C. for airborne training. He trained with the U.S. Rangers at Fort Benning, GA in 1961. From there, he received his posting to Fort Dix, N.J. as a company officer for advanced infantry training. What was supposed to be a short stay, ended with an 18-month commission because of the escalation of the Berlin Wall crisis.
"We remember those who are no longer with us because they sacrificed their lives in defense of our freedom," he said. "These sacrifices have occurred throughout our nation's history. We continue to lose American heroes every day in Afghanistan and in military training accidents and missions around the world. We don't just honor those with the highest medals. We honor the more than 11 million men and women who lost their lives defending America in wars from the American Revolution to the global war on terrorism."
"We all may not be able to appreciate the magnitude of that day, but we will be able to remember and honor those who fought for us, not only on that day but every day since this great country came to be," Mineola Mayor Scott Strauss said, touching on the upcoming 70th anniversary of D-Day. "Memorial Day is a day to take a moment and think about the brave men and women who have allowed us the opportunity to enjoy this three-day weekend; the ones who paid for it with their lives."
At least a dozen red, white and blue-colored wreaths circled the memorial rock monument in the center of the park; wreaths were donated by the various village organizations and businesses. A rifle honor guard also fired a ceremonial volley into the air in honor of the dead.
"We work together today to acknowledge those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, who gave unthinkingly of themselves so that we could stand here today," North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth said.
Nassau Legislator Richard Nicolello observed that "we are blessed to live in a place in which our rights and freedoms are protected; to live in a land of opportunity where we can follow our dreams."
"Each year we try to put into words I think something that can't be put into words and that's the debt of gratitude we owe the people wee honor on Memorial Day," Assemblyman Ed Ra said.
Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, a member of the state veteran's committee, touted the long-term care needed for veterans returning from active duty.
"In government joined by Senator [Jack] Martins, our responsibilities make sure that those soldiers that do come home, our veterans, are given what they are rightfully deserved by the... government to make sure that the benefits of long-term care... and that they can be treated quickly and reasonably," said Schimel, a member of the state veteran's committee.
Added Martins: "those things that we take for granted; this should happen every day. But it's great to come together at least once, all of us, as we pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice."

Comments about Maurices Denim flex ™ skinny ankle jeans with contrast stitching:
I really like how these feel. They're very comfy and don't gap at my waist or slide/ride down and show my underwear. They're the perfect denim color, and the back pockets aren't overly "blingy" with too many rhinestones and embroidery, they're just right and not obnoxious.
I am not a "skinny" girl and I thought surely these slim style fit wouldn't work for me but they did! And they make me look slimmer than the wide leg jeans. Being a shorter woman, I prefer not to have the wide boot leg opening at the cuff, it just never looks good. Makes me shorter and stockier looking.
Also, these are pretty short. Which for me works bc I'm only 5'1, but if you're a tall woman, you may not like the length, and may want to try on in store if you can. I also roll em up and make them into Capri length, and their cute like that too. These are my new favorite jeans. I've washed em 2x so far and they wash well and haven't faded.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I typically have a pretty good feel for what MIGHT happen, what's to come regarding the Miami Dolphins.
If you study hard enough, and connect the dots we're usually able to project what Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland is thinking, and might be leaning towards doing.
However, I've got to admit how the Dolphins will address the cornerback position this offseason is a complete mystery to me. A mystery that exceeds any other offseason question in any other year I've covered an Ireland led team because there are so many unknowns.

Dear Secretary,
International Solidarity Fund
May we again bring to your notice the work of the International Solidarity Fund and again appeal for the greatest possible measure of assistance? In doing so, perhaps the following brief report will reveal, in some small measure, the wide range of work which has been undertaken.
On the top of the problems created by aggressor nations in China and in Spain, we now have the serious position which has arisen in Austria. The latest development is likely to create a serious refugee problem in which we shall inevitably be involved. To even a greater extent the smaller countries, already overrun with refugees, will find themselves entirely unable to cope with the new demand unless some degree of assistance can be rendered by the Movement in this country. Our previous commitments must still continue and are extended by this most recent development.
The acute food shortage in Eastern Spain has led to a redoubling of the efforts made through the International Solidarity Fund to send supplies to relieve the grave condition of affairs.
The latest report in connection with the Fund shows that the campaign to supply foodstuffs was especially developed during the last weeks of the heroic fight for Bilbao, Santander, and the Asturias. Since then the whole of the relief work has been concentrated in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.
You will be aware of the activities in connection with the "Milk for Spain Fund," in which the Co-operative Movement has played such a prominent part. In the figures given below, the milk sent to Spain through the medium of this Fund has been taken into account.
In the month of January alone ten large convoys were sent. These included:
140 tons of condensed milk.
30 tons of ham.
2 ambulances and 10 tons of material for the Onteniente Hospital which is maintained entirely by the International Solidarity Fund.
6,000,000 cigarettes.
80 tons of sugar.
22 tons of dried cod, bacon and corned beef.
28 tons of soap.
5 tons of lentils.
80,000 packets of foodstuffs for children.
10 tons of spare parts for lorries and ambulances for relief and medical purposes.
Since January the work has steadily continued. Orders have been placed for regular supplies of milk, and arrangements have been made for the milk and other foodstuffs to be sent overland through France in order to avoid the long sea route. In addition to the milk, 250 tons of food was sent in this way during February. The consignment included sugar, flour, rice, lentils, meat cubes, cocoa, and soap.
An active Spanish worker, at present on a brief visit to this country, has paid a remarkable compliment to the effective machinery which is being operated for the distribution of supplies sent through the International Solidarity Fund.
Foodstuffs, milk, and medical necessities are urgently needed, and a special effort must be made to maintain the supplies, particularly for the next three months.

The National Trust aims to lure sofa-bound children to the great outdoors and is encouraging more people to connect with nature.
"Sofa-bound" children who have lost touch with the great outdoors have been handed a must-do list of simple activities to help overcome the growing problem of "nature-deficit disorder".
The checklist is one of a number of measures aimed at reconnecting youngsters with nature after a report showed that rapidly dwindling numbers were taking advantage of their environment, even in the stunning landscapes offered in Devon and Cornwall. The National Trust has published the list of 50 outdoor activities that every child should complete before they start secondary school.
Suggested adventures include running around in the rain, bug hunting, snail racing, wild swimming and going rafting.
We'd like to help you get started by either joining us by taking part in a Blue Mile near you or helping you organise your own.
The list – "50 things to do before you're 11-and-three-quarters" – was drawn up after research by the charity found that fewer than one in ten children regularly play in wild places compared to half just a generation ago.

Director of ProgressOhio, to present at annual campus lecture honoring Norman Thomas
The Ohio State University at Marion invites the community to the 41st Annual Norman Thomas Memorial Lecture in the Guthery Community Room, Maynard Hall, on the Marion Campus, Friday, April 5th, 12 to 1 p.m.
This year's speaker is Brian Rothenberg, executive director of ProgressOhio. Rothenberg will present a lecture entitled, What Is, What Was, and What Will Be: The Progressive Movement in the 21st Century. Rothenberg will discuss Norman Thomas' advocacy for progressive change throughout the twentieth century on issues ranging from civil rights to environmental protection, economic equality and pacifism.
According to Rothenberg, despite major social upheaval in the past century, the progressive movement still faces significant challenges. Learning from the lessons of what was during Norman Thomas' lifetime, this year's lecture will examine the political realities of what is today, and evaluate what can and will be in the future.
Under Rothenberg's leadership, ProgressOhio, which he founded in 2006, has become the state's largest progressive advocacy organization, working for a variety of causes including reducing gun violence, passing same-sex marriage legislation, exposing corporate influence in government, and advocating common-sense solutions to state and federal budget challenges.
Since 1972, The Norman Thomas Memorial Lecture has been delivered annually at the Marion Campus of The Ohio State University. Lecturers are chosen from a wide variety of fields; historians, labor leaders, educators, editors, and authors have spoken during the series. All lecturers invited to speak have demonstrated concerns similar to those for which Norman Thomas lived—peace, social justice, rational discourse, and the expansion of democracy.
The Norman Thomas Memorial Lecture is free and open to the public. The 41st Annual Norman Thomas Lecture is organized by the History Department at Ohio State Marion, and sponsored by the Harding/Thomas Endowment Fund, and Fahey Bank.

A small alligator found dumped in a Kansas lake and shot was returned to its owner on Saturday.
The owner said his alligator, Cletus, went missing in July or August when there was a large party at the county lake. He believes someone knew he kept the alligator in a pen on his property and took it.
A short time later, some anglers at the Atchison County Lake found it while fishing. They alerted the lake's caretaker, who called the sheriff's department.
The Atchison County Sheriff's Office said before deputies could finalize arrangements with the humane society about how to safely and effectively trap the alligator to take it to the Monkey Island nonprofit animal sanctuary in Greenwood, Missouri, they got a call that someone had shot and killed the alligator.
While investigating, deputies said they found out the alligator wasn't killed, but wounded. Someone at Monkey Island checked out the alligator, and Dana Savorelli with Monkey Island Rescue said they determined it had been shot in front of its eye on the snout. The bullet had gone completely through, and they said the alligator would fully recover.
The sheriff's department tracked down the alligator's owner, who said he would keep Cletus in a more secure pen once he got him back. The owner came to Monkey Island rescue and was reunited with his pet once again.
