New Year's in Japan (Tokyo & Kyoto)... lots of questions
- r
- relishtaste Nov 6, 2008 05:36 PM
Greetings all. I have greatly enjoyed all the posts from chowhounds on Japan.
I am planning my first trip to Japan this New Year's and am very excited to experience the food, architecture and design of this wonderful country. My husband and I are quite adventurous eaters and have with regular occurence enjoyed some splendid izakaya & sushi in our home city of San Diego and nearby LA.
We are flying out the day after Christmas and return on 4th January.
> Would you recommend spending an equal # of days in Kyoto and Tokyo? Currently we have 5 nights in Tokyo and 3 in Kyoto.
> With the New Year's holiday, I presume many restaurants may be closed. But am hopeful that there will be many that remain open. Do you have any advice on this point based off your experiences in Japan at this time? Any advice on dining out during this holiday week and sightseeing (shrines, museums, et al), regarding closures, is much appreciated.
> We love local, seasonal, simple foods and flavors. I imagine we will do at least one formal night out, but any tips on smaller authentic restaurants, street food, noodle shops, et al, and overall, undiscovered places, are much appreciated.
> Any tips on markets? Must experience sake shops? Shops for ingredients, knives, etc?
THANK YOU in advance. I appreciate all your suggestions!
So, you've got a lot of planning and research to do.
Most of the specifics you are asking for (street food, noodles, knives, authentic restaurants, etc.) have been covered on the board. You'll want to dig deep with the search function. It's better to do that and post your eating plan than rely on the board to provide you with a full dining itinerary. I strongly recommend that for the special meal and a few other dinners, you research the restaurant's schedule and, if possible through a Japanese speaking source, book a reservation. Most good restaurants do close down around that time, particularly closer to the New Year's holiday. So I would suggest planning your formal meal as close to your arrival as possible. Chain restaurants are pretty steadily open the whole time though. And between the 1st and the 4th, you won't have any choice really. Nothing will be open. And the chains that do stay open are usually the low end ones. Sorry, it's just like that. You might want to look into Kaikaiya, a foreigner friendly place in Shibuya that is recommended here sometimes. They may be open during this time. The online English magazine Metropolis may have further information on what's open.
Tsukiji is still open most of that time up until the holiday though. You won't be alone as foreign tourists if you go, but it's still worth it. A highlight for you will surely be the depachika (department store food emporium), which are at their pinnacle of greatness that time of year. I'm in Tokyo every New Year's and I go to one nearly every day. New Year's is considered a family holiday in Japan and depachika become the focal point for big meal and gift shopping. I recommend hitting up several of the major ones in Tokyo- Isetan, the two in Ikebukuro, Takashimaya, Tokyu, etc. I have no idea about Kyoto's big depachika, but the Hankyu in Osaka is tremendous and akin to a modern bazaar. I can only imagine what it's like around that time of year. Perhaps a detour to consider.
On New Year's Eve, which has increasingly become a time of public revelry in really just central Tokyo, you can consider making your way to a shrine. It will be crowded, but culturally interesting and you'll get a chance to down some complimentary amazake (sweet unfiltered sake).
re: Silverjay
Kyoto's depachika aren't really that big. Takashimaya and Daimaru are good, and they actually have some different stores so you have to go to both to get everything you want (or at least I do...). I still love Nishiki Market, but it has really changed over the last 15 years. There are a lot more "new" stores selling typical tourist stuff (socks with Japanese prints, etc.) rather than the traditional foods and goods. I know it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it just makes me feel sad whenever I walk through there.
Hankyu at Umeda is huge, but also incredibly difficult to manuever around when it's crowded (which is almost always). I prefer Sogo at Shinsaibashi--it's much more spacious, but I think Hankyu has more stuff.
re: prasantrin
The veg, fish, fish and poultry markets and purveyors are closed around new years, so for the most part it is almost impossible to have really great food around that time. I don't think Kaikaya is open over the new year holiday.
re: prasantrin
That's interesting, I was just visiting Nishiki Market last month, and I was pleased to see all the new shops - there was a big new noodle shop, and a very nice-looking pottery shop among others. It looks like the market seems to have perked up a bit compared to a few years ago, and there are certainly plenty of traditional shops still in business.
re: Silverjay
I can confirm that Tsukiji is closed 12/28 and 1/1-1/4. 12/31 is an optional day for vendors. Most likely, closed.
re: Silverjay
To clarify, will the main depachika be open the whole time during the New Year period or just during the days leading up to Jan 1st? I'll also be in Tokyo during this time.
re: jcccf
As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, in recent years department stores (in Tokyo at least) are taking shorter vacations. So while some may close Jan 1-5, others may close Jan 1-3 and a few on only January first.
Depachika are the retail food floors in the basements of department stores, and restaurant floors are often on the top floors - both will be of interest to you at this time of year..
re: Silverjay
are most shops in kappabashi dori closed in this time to? and how busy does disney world get?
Let me preface this by staying I have never actually been to Japan, but it has been an integral part of my life since childhood. Add to that that I did extensive in-depth research on Japan about a decade ago for a screenplay. I hate cultural inaccuracies in any writer's works! So, with that said, if it is at all possible to reschedule your trip to Japan, you'll have a much better experience. I'm not sure about 2008, but I do know that ten years ago things like kabuki, noh, bunraku, and even Disneyland closed for New Years. So if rescheduling is at all possible, you'll get to see and do all the things that may well not be available for New Years. Whatever you decide, hope it all works out and you have a wonderful time!
re: Caroline1
I would echo Caroline's suggestion of rescheduling the trip. It's going to be needlessly difficult to find good chowing opportunities when everything's closed for the holidays (not only the restaurants are closed, but the bulk of the food supply chain). You'll be forced to find some creative outlets for low-brow eating (like at chains or convenience stores) or overpriced hotel dining, while the rest of the country is eating at home. Now, if you can weasel an invitation to join a family for traditional osechi and other new year's goodies, that might be a viable option. Or maybe find a group of expats who might take you in for their versions of holiday eats. However, if eating is not your priority, then it is possible to enjoy all the cultural aspects of new year's in Japan.
On a side note, I find it more revealing to know that Caroline has never actually been to Japan, or was that mistyped?
re: E Eto
No. Not mistyped. Never actually been there. But hey, I know a few astronomers who know an awful lot about the moon and the planets, and they've never been to any of them either. The advantage to armchair travel is that the transportation is free!
On the other hand, you could say I've been to Japan many times through friends. One girlfriend was from Tokyo, her father had been the emperor's physician, she had citations for her calligraphy, she taught me how to cook a few dishes, and we once approximated chanoyu, if you can call it that without a tea house. She was very homesick. Another girlfriend was also from a well-placed family, we used to have tea together and she would play her koto for me. My best friend is nisei. My dad visited Japan several times following WWII and brought me many gifts, from Japanese hit 78rpm records to carved ivory, cloisonnee and even a netsuke. I've been very very blessed. You can travel in many ways, not just on a plane. '-)
As others here have mentioned, most restaurants are closed the first few days of the year. However, recently department stores in Tokyo have been taking shorter holidays, and some are even open from January 2, so I'd suggest checking for restaurants located in department stores, many of which are very good. Of course you should call first to make sure they actually are open.... I think Lumine Est in Shinjuku is open from the 2nd, and they have a few nice places to choose from.
I want to thank everyone for your very helpful comments. Unfortunately this is the only week of year I have off to take from my small business, but I am hoping that the inconveniences of traveling during this time will be outweighed by some of the special aspects being in Japan at this time will bring. It is never possible to experience everything in one trip, so our wish is for a handful of meaningful experiences that pave the way and inspire future trips.
It sounds like we should be prepared to hit the ground running when we land on the 27th for our first 3 nights, which will be in Tokyo. I am glad we have two mornings when Tsukiji is open.
Understanding that much is in fact closed from Jan 1 - Jan 4; do you feel we will be more successful in Kyoto or Tokyo on evening of Jan 2nd? (We will be in Kyoto evenings of 30, 31st and Jan 1st.)
re: relishtaste
I'd guess that there would be many more options in Tokyo.
re: relishtaste
Yes. Hit the ground running. You should be alright the first few days. Food will be good because competition is high since a lot of people dine out at this time with friends and colleagues for end of the year get-togethers. I agree with Robb to make your way back to Tokyo or maybe consider Osaka, which is close to Kyoto. But in Tokyo, the parts of town that attract young people will have the most options- Shibuya, Shinjuku, maybe Harajuku, Ikebukuro. Don't expect good Japanese food really and don't eat sushi/sashimi at this time. Check out department stores per Robb's suggestion or maybe investigate large international hotels or the areas around them. An area like the Shiba/ Hammatsucho area might still have a lot of stuff open.
You'll have a great time and will experience sensory overload I'm sure. Tokyo looks amazing this time of year.
Yes, Jan 1-4th is a bad period for foodies. But I did have a unique experience on the New Year Day about two years ago in Yokohama, the second most populous city in Japan, which is just 1 hour drive from Tokyo. A tour guide recommended us this small family restaurant that opened on New Year Day and served a new year kaiseki, which was like a 2-3 hours feast. The family was perhaps the most courteous people I have met. I am attaching the name card, but do make an advanced reservation if you are interested.
re: FourSeasons
Hi FourSeasons,
You wrote this a year back, but I am interested to check this Yokohama place out while im in Tokyo over NewYear's. It sounds spectacular from the way you described it. How do I access the place? Many thanks!
re: eaterri
Hi eaterri:
The meal was arranged by our guide when we had a private tour to Yokohama. I guess you can reserve through your concierge; the name card was attached above.
re: FourSeasons
Hi FourSeasons,
I will attempt to make a reservation. Many thanks again!
Just like everybody mentioned, your chance of eating out and shopping will be before Jan 1. Then the next 4 days everything, including shops and restaurants are closed. The only places open will be electronic stores, online cafe, and 7-11 and convenience stores.
I think it's great that you are staying in Tokyo first as you can do a lot of dining and shopping before New Year.
I think it may be better if you save the last 4 days in Kyoto and focus on sight seeing. Shrine-visiting, as suggested by others, is definitely an experience, and there are plenty for you to visit in Kyoto. There are also a lot of parks and gardening, as well as Buddhist-influenced architecture that you can visit. Of course some of these and their attached stores may also be closed too, but you can at least view from the outside and take a lot of pictures.
If you are staying in a hotel, ask them to see if there are any local restaurants that will offer osechi (Japanese New Year meal) ahead of time, and reserve immediately if available. As Four Seasons suggested, there should be something open for New Year meal, though I don't have any specifics (my family always eats in during New Year). Another option is to get one of those prepared osechi at the depachika before New Year Day. Again, the popular stores will also need reservation for their osechi ahead of time. Then you can enjoy your Japanese New Year meal at a park (if weather permits) or in the hotel.
Hope you have a great trip!
re: kobetobiko
Hi relishtaste,
I found this link which show which temples will be opened or closed during New Year (note: it's for 2007-2008, but the dates should still apply).
Also, if you are staying in a ryokan, then it is likely that they will prepare osechi for you during New Year, and you don't have to search for food outside!
re: kobetobiko
kobetobiko -- your link fell off. can you please repost?
re: kobetobiko
That's funny, I would recommend the exact opposite schedule - heading back to Tokyo for the later part of the trip. It may be different in provincial cities like Kyoto and Kobe, but in recent years Tokyo has many more places that are open early in the year - still not everywhere, but way more than just convenience stores.
For example, this year the restaurants in Lumine Est department store in Shinjuku station (formerly known as "My City") will be closed on Dec. 31, but they'll be open until 8pm on January 1, then back to regular hours starting January 2. Some recommendations there include the excellent tempura restaurant Tsunahachi Rin (http://www.bento.com/rev/1995.html ), good yakitori and oysters at Maimon (a sister shop of Megu in New York; 03-5367-9199), and Okinawan food at Nabi To Kamado (03-5379-1070). Be sure to reserve though.
I randomly called one large, non-department-store restaurant in a busy part of town - the excellent upscale izakaya Daidaiya in Shinjuku (http://www.bento.com/rev/0322.html ). They will be taking a short, one-day holiday on January first, but are open again from January 2. I'm sure there will be many other places open - that was just the first one I tried.
Add to that the hundreds of hotel restaurants, plus family restaurants, and there's no need to starve over the holidays in Tokyo, and no need to live on osechi-ryori, although it's probably still worth a try.
re: Robb S
If you do decide to stay in Kyoto, the excellent yakitori shop Kokkekokko (http://bento.com/kansai/rev/7040.html ) will be open from January 2. They're located in Isetan (a Tokyo-based department store), so surely the twenty or thirty other restaurants inside Isetan will also be open. Demand will be high though, so be sure to plan and book ahead of time.
re: Robb S
LOL, perhaps we gave the impression that the streets were just tumbleweed blowing around. It's good to know that places are open. This is a development from the past... Tsukiji is still closed those first few days though. Might be a good chance to try meat, nabe, or yakitori as you suggest.
re: Silverjay
Yes, it is a very recent development. The trains are pretty empty, but Shinjuku is hopping. Local neighborhoods are very quiet, and I imagine business districts like Shimbashi and Marunouchi are also.
re: Robb S
I remember two years ago, taking some visiting friends to the Kanda/Jimbocho business area for a quick lunch and marveling at how empty it was.
re: lost squirrel
The Maisen in Omotesando is open regular hours throughout. When I inquired about this, the manager said that with the most pained smile I've seen in a long time...
Here's an idea from the gaijin who has never been to Japan. E Eto brought it up,, but in the context of joing a Japanese family for usechi, if invited, but you can "do it yourself."
It's a very long tradition for the women of the house not to cook at all over New Year, so they either prepare usechi ryouri at home or buy from a shop (currently available in a variety of sources from 7-Eleven to high end department stores such as Mitsukoshi).
Often packed in three tiered lacquer "jubako" boxes, it's made up of "lucky food" to feed the family (you tell them how many people when ordering) over the three days of New Years. But don't expect a lacquer jubako box from 7-Eleven. Likely it will be styrofoam or cardboard. The upscale department stores can be pretty pricey, but may come in a genuine jubako box, which will make a nice souvenir. Here are some pictures of the offerings at Takashimaya: http://tinyurl.com/69z7j8
If your room has a refrigerator in it, you could order osechi and "go native." You can take some of it along for a picnic while you're out and about. And it will be authentic Japanese food presented in a manner you can rarely experience in a restaurant. You'd have to order it soon after you arrive, then pick it up.
What do you guys who live in Japan think? Will it work well for them?
re: Caroline1
The option was mentioned in my post above as well
re: kobetobiko
I truly apologize! From the time logs, I must have been in the composition phase of my post, and had several phone calls, then posted without refreshing to see if anything new had been added. My goof! Sorry.
Have the hotels you are staying at do the research for you if shops are open are not. My birthday is January 3rd and I always have a hard time finding places to eat in Tokyo that early in the year.
My husband is a fishmonger and was a former buyer at Tsukiji Market. On a visit to Kyoto we were at a friend's restaurant and he said that the Kyoto fish market took very few holidays throughout the year. He said that as so many ryokan in the area needed the fresh fish from the market so that they are open more days than the Tokyo market.
As a result, call and see if you can get reservations at ryokan for meals as they usually stay open. One in Kyoto that I love is Seiwasou. The website is in English and Chef Takenaka speaks English. If he is not too busy he may come and explain some of the food to you.
For tempura in Kyoto, Tenki is great. Chef Ishikawa is a third generation tempura chef.
If you go to either of them, tell them Yukari sent you.
No matter if you are in Kyoto or Tokyo on New Year's Eve, do venture to your local temple at midnight to see everyone going to make their well wishes for the new year. Loads of fun, and most temples have small food stalls set up, and a fun festival like ambience. In Tokyo I like Monzennakacho's temple. On the Tozai line it is exit number one. And, on this evening trains run all night long.
re: Yukari
Don't forget about cuddling up to a warm cup of amazake, which they give out at shrines on New Year's- not sure about temples.
re: Silverjay
Ah yes, New Year's in Japan...I'm having trouble finding a good place myself, have just called several places, all closed. Perhaps Robb and Yukari both have the right idea - dinner at Daidaiya and then a visit to the local shrine!
re: tokyodrinkingglass
We've ordered and coordinated a feast of seafood and culinary specialty delights from all over Japan to be delivered to my in-laws to supplement all the foods we usually prepare ourselves. I can't imagine anyone going out to dine at a proper or good restaurant on New Year's, but after home dinners, I've hit up late night grease spots and snacky/ izayakaya type deals to augment the amazake. I think there are also food and beer vendors in Hibiya Park if people are interested in a countdown scene.

CGI furnishes filmstar with fur
Film fans are reeling from the latest Sienna Miller outrage, as studio sources reveal that technical wizardry is bestowing upon the actress a CGI-merkin. With the whole Getty-nabbing furore so totally 30 seconds ago, the world is now agog (or at least so her agent would no doubt prefer) for details of the post-production pelvis- …
im sorry, what?
all the alliteration would appear to have made the article's meaning completely disappear for me.
i think i got it...
sienna miller has CGI muff hair in latest film?
damn i hate mondays.
Re: im sorry, what?
Focus, greg, focus.
I'm agog
That this is newsworthy
>Sienna's part involved one or two nude scenes
No doubt the offending bush (not GW the female fuzzy bit) was only on dislay for a few frames and it would have been easier to just leave them on the cutting room floor.
Besides anybody who is going to be so titillated by the sight of the fur wouldn't give a toss about whether it was anachronistic or not. Why stop at the fur? Why not give her a full body like what real women used to have. I'm making an assumption here that this Miller woman is on the stick insect side as I've no idea who she is or what she looks like.
Nice work if you can get it...
... I wouldn't mind touching her up.
TLA overload
Is this CGI the language, CGI the image manipulation concept or CGI the IT Services company (whom I work for and would definitely remember this opportunity popping up on the bulletin board)? More specificity in your reporting, please!
So CGI must stand for...
Composite Growler Inclusion??
Gash moustache
I think the problem was the spring filming schedule.
Budding film producers, please remember: ne'er cast a clout till May be out.
Before they start breaking out the CGI minge
How about shoving a few pies down her so she looks lie a real person instead of a wooden spoon with a couple of bits of string tied on it for arms ?
Awesome writing Sarah
Thanks, but since you brought the subject up...
Tom Cruise in 'Valkyrie'.
Not only demands the line 'aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?', but raises the horrifying possibility that he might do an oh-so-serious worthy movie pulling a German accent.
In which case bagsie the popcorn, this could be the most definitive Nazi movie since 'The Producers'.
Reading the profanisaurus?
Wow, so many Viz-isms there. Roger Melly'd be proud of you, lass.
I thought from the title that this was an attempt to appease the anti-fur trade movement by filming scenes without using a genuine fur coat (not a euphemism, I mean the formerly popular posh-totty garment) and superimposing one.
How (pleasantly) wrong can you be?
Paris... does it need explaining??
CGI ain't a language
Specificity? A spot of nomenclatural fastidisiousity wouldn't go astray either. It stands for Common Gateway Interface. I bit harsh in this context as I suspect Ms. Miller has a very uncommon Gateway indeed.
Are you sure BOFH isn't working in a CGI studio in the states somewhere, collecting 'reference material' and doing plenty of 'pick-up shots' ("Yes, this is a 3D scanner, and we do need to have a full 3D model of you from all angles for this..").
Paris. because.
Presumably these digipubes have some onerous acting to do
if a good old-fashioned merkin wouldn't be up to the job. I bet it would still be able to out-act La Miller, though
For clarification only, of course...
...how about a few pix? Macro shots to check the details?
And just how furry IS the camel foot?
I was confused for a bit by "Merkin" as "pubic wig" rather than El Reg's commenters' usual use of it as American. Gives it a whole new twist though.
Merkins, led by a Bush. Got it.
pics - NSFW
pre cgi'd I guess
wot a cop out!
c/o strategicly placed leaves.....
They didn't like her being from Brazil?
So they made her a 'Merkin? What kind of casting/director demands are going on here?
/I don't know what "IT?" is all about, either.
You've obviously not head of tinyurl.com...
And they said there was no future in graphics...
Sarah: stunning sub title - was it added in postproduction!
Now they always said that either Shatner's or Connery's hairpiece ought to be nominated as best supporting actor. So may this should be up (or downy) for best supporting actress (or actress support).
Just a raincoat.
If you really want to see the brazilian
it's on a site named What Would Tyler Durden Do. Yahoo it.
Paris because that's the site who did the internet petition to make sure she was locked up.
Marathon Man
If anybody remebers the movie Marathon Man ( Sir Laurence Olivier & Dustin Hoffman) there is a scene where DUstin is tortured and has his teeth pulled by the bad guy (Sir LO).
Dustin was expected to look like he hadn't slept for 72hrs. So in true Dustin Hoffman form, he simply didn't sleep for 72hrs before doing the scene.
After the Scene DH was commenting on his methods of doing the scene. Sir LO was heard to comment, "why don't you just try acting old boy".
What happens next is private / it's also very rude
"naughty naked nude" - Ian Dury, "Wake Up And Make Love with Me", there you go.
I recall a film from a while back that had a similar CGI effect, to add more pubic hair. It was a British film, expanded from a short; set in a supermarket. It was about a man who could freeze time, and he used this to paint naked women, and in a flashback sequence there was some extra CGI pubicity. It was mentioned in the film's commentary track.
Damned if I can remember the name though. Something to do with supermarkets - Cashback, or Checkout.
Re: What happens next is private / it's also very rude
*touches nose, points*
Choon, etc.
Been there, done that
When I was working in the BBC in the 80's a certain English actress wouldn't appear topless so she wore a flesh-coloured bra.The BBC boffins repainted on her nipples in the editing suite. I used to have a freeze-frame of the relevent scene. Purely to admire the skills of the technicians, of course
I'm surprised...
When I read the article my first thought was "how far down the comments list before the first ungallant query about the moderatrix's waxing habits?".
I'm surprised, guys. I really am.
Re: I'm surprised...
It was the third or fourth one. I nixed it. One does not discuss one's bikini regime. So think on.
Anyway, since I'm entirely computer-generated myself, it's a moot point.
Oh dear
Totally seconded on Ms Miller copping out by not throwing herself into the no-wax breach. Where is the method? I managed to burn my eyes looking at the pre-CGI pic - not to diss one of the sisters, but perhaps that was as much regrowth she could summon up in the time required.
Honestly, who wants a snatch that looks like Hitler's moustache? Ok, the Amazonian rainforest look might be too much these days - although not back in the 60s - but let's not get into Brazilian slash-and-burn overcompensation.
/Paris, for obvious reasons. Gosh, I'm using her a lot lately... although a bit later than everyone else.
typical beeb. Why didn't they just paint nipples onto the flesh coloured bra?
English company did vfx on hippy hippy shave
they also worked on hot fuzz ... even vfx places get typecast
PH, even though this easily passes the "PH angle", because thanks to the pigment-agnostic behaviour of IR video photography could have done with help from the bbc's nipple painting department. And a better cameraman.
CGI in this context means Computer Graphics Imagery

Countless D-Line Options Available for Cowboys in Upcoming Draft
As the 2011 Scouting Combine comes to a close in Indy, prospects are getting rearranged and reshuffled on countless draft boards, mock drafts are getting retooled, value charts and "big boards" are getting redone. It's getting to be that time of year when we start the wild speculation about the 2011 NFL draft and start coming up with the names that we could see on the backs of those famous white Cowboys jerseys.
Since defensive line is undoubtedly the deepest position in the 2011 draft, and maybe even the best defensive line class we've seen in several decades, it is only fitting to start with them. Defensive line is also very much a need in Dallas this year and what a great year it is to be in the market for a stud on the defensive line. So with that, let's take a look:
Nick Fairley – Defensive Tackle, Auburn
Nick Fairley is without a doubt the most impressive prospect of this very talented bunch. Anyone who watched SEC football in 2010 saw Fairley completely take over games against elite competition all season. At 6'4″ and 291 pounds, he is a player that can be plugged in at any position on the defensive line, in any defensive scheme, for the next ten years. In Dallas' case, Fairley would probably project as a 3-4 defensive end. He ran a 4.87 40-yard dash at the combine, which is amazingly fast for a man his size. With 11.5 sacks in 2010 and a staggering 24 tackles for loss, Fairley has the skill to get into the backfield and disrupt plays and get to the quarterback. He has a non-stop motor and a nasty streak that I personally have not seen since Warren Sapp was in his prime in Tampa Bay. You can bet your bottom dollar that this guy is at the top of the wishlist in Jerry's war room come draft day, though he is almost certain to be gone by pick #9.
Marcell Dareus – Defensive Tackle, Alabama
Another SEC player who turned heads in 2010 was Marcell Dareus. Though he didn't have the eye-popping numbers that Nick Fairley did, he still produced solidly for the Crimson Tide. In the Capital One Bowl against Michigan State, Dareus was virtually unblockable the entire game. His skills are very similar to Fairley's and the two have been compared non-stop for months. Though Dareus is a tad shorter (6'3″), and a bit heavier (319) than Fairley, I think he still projects nicely to the 3-4 defensive end spot. Though heavier than Fairley, Dareus still ran a moderately fast 40-yard dash at 4.93. I don't know that Dareus' pass-rushing skills are as refined as Fairley's, but his skill set is definitely better than what the Cowboys got out of Igor Olshansky last year. I've heard several reports that Dareus reminds some people of Marcus Spears when he came out of LSU. While that is somewhat worrisome, I think Dareus showed at the combine that he is worthy of a top ten pick. Unlike Fairley, I think Dareus could be on the board when Dallas goes on the clock and if that's the case, he may just become a Cowboy.
Cameron Jordan – Defensive End, Cal
Not many people get to watch the Pac-10 as much as the SEC during football season, and for that reason, Cam Jordan may be the best kept secret in the entire draft. Like Dareus, Jordan produced solid numbers all season. He is another guy that can easily be plugged in at a 3-4 defensive end and contribute immediately. Since he played in a 3-4 scheme at Cal, he may have a leg up on guys who have not worked in a traditional 3-4 previously. Jordan is a freakish athlete at 6'4″, 287 pounds, and ran an impressive 4.78 40-yard dash at the combine. He also has NFL bloodlines as his father Steve was a 6-time Pro Bowl tight end for the Minnesota Vikings. While I think Jordan may be a reach at #9, I could see him being a real possibility for the Cowboys if they decide to trade back to the middle of the first round.
Cameron Heyward – Defensive End, Ohio State
Heyward is a guy who has had the "underachiever" and "lazy" tags attached to his name throughout his college career, but anyone who watched him in the Sugar Bowl knows what kind of potential he has. Against the #8 Arkansas Razorbacks and potential first day offensive tackle prospect Demarcus Love, Heyward was completely dominant and had his name called throughout the entire game. He has a non-stop motor and like Cameron Jordan, has the skills to be a dominating force in the NFL. He has ideal 3-4 defensive end size at 6'5″, 294. He didn't run the 40 at the combine, but look for him to post a time similar to Nick Fairley's during Ohio State's pro day. He is a relentless competitor when motivated and also has NFL bloodlines as the son of "Ironhead" Heyward. I can only see Heyward getting picked by Dallas if they trade down to the late first round, or if he is still available in the early second round by some amazing stroke of luck.
J.J. Watt – Defensive End, Wisconsin
J.J. Watt is another guy who's stock has been soaring since the Rose Bowl against TCU. Like Dareus, Fairley, and Heyward, he looked simply unstoppable against a very talented Horned Frogs offense. Watt is extremely athletic as a converted tight end and also has the impressive measurables at almost 6'6″ and 290 pounds. He is another 3-4 defensive end that ran the 40-yard dash stunningly fast at 4.84 seconds. He posted tremendous stats for the Badgers last year with seven sacks and 21 tackles for loss, and both numbers are a tribute to his pass-rushing skills and quickness. He is a instinctive player with great intangibles who would be a fantastic fit in Dallas. Like Jordan, I can only see Dallas drafting Watt if they trade back into the middle of the first round, but I certainly don't expect him to be available in the second round.
Other Prospects
De'Quan Bowers – Defensive End, Clemson
Bowers had a superb year for the Clemson Tigers with 25 tackles for loss and 15.5 sacks. Unfortunately he projects to be a defensive end in the 4-3 and is probably too small to be a defensive end in the 3-4. Will likely be gone in the first five picks.
Robert Quinn – Defensive End, North Carolina
Like Bowers, Quinn is a smaller defensive end at only 6'4″, 265 and projects better as a 4-3 defensive end or possibly a 3-4 outside linebacker. Didn't play in 2010 and has a bust factor about him. Nevertheless, he is still a top 15 pick.
Stephen Paea – Defensive Tackle, Oregon State
Paea set the record for most bench press reps ever at the combine with 49. He's a bit on the short side at 6'1″ and is also fairly light for a defensive tackle at 303 pounds. Regardless of size, Paea has great versatility and strength and if he lasts into the second round, Dallas may be interested in him as a player to move around and utilize along the defensive line.
Muhammad Wilkerson – Defensive End, Temple
Wilkerson is an enormous athlete at 6'4″ 315 who ran a fast 40 at the combine at 4.96. Was very productive in college and projects well as a 3-4 defensive end. He could be a possibility for Dallas in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.
I'm actually not a big fan of going dline with our first pick (if we stay put at 9 that is). The 3-technique is not what I consider an impact position (see Marcus Spears, Tyson Jackson, Jared Odrick etc.). In the first round you want a player who produces key stats (tackles, ints, sacks) and neither will come from the end-position.
IF we draft a dliner I'd prefer Cameron Jordan. Well, I wouldn't complain if Dareus fell to us, but that's not gonna happen. I just hope that Jerry comes to his senses and picks an OT as a replacement for Marc Colombo!
I agree, I've also said that d-line in the 3-4 scheme should not be taken high due to the fact that they are never flashy players. Hopefully somebody like Peterson falls enough that it wouldnt bust the entire draft to move up and steal him. Otherwise I am in favor of trading down a few spots, picking up draft picks, and selecting an o-lineman or a d-lineman like Cam Jordan or JJ Watt

McALLEN, Texas (AP) Homeland Security Secretary Jeh (Jay) Johnson says 150 more Border Patrol agents are being sent to South Texas where authorities have been overwhelmed by an increase illegal immigration. Johnson on Monday made his third visit in the last month and a half to the Border Patrol's McAllen station in southernmost Texas. The station has been hardest hit by the more than 52,000 unaccompanied children arrested since October.
(Information in the following story is from: The Galveston County Daily News, http://www.galvnews.com)
TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) Visitors to the Texas City Dike at the mouth of Galveston Bay will have to dig twice as deep to get on the popular waterfront site this Fourth of July weekend. The usual $5-per-vehicle weekend fee is being doubled to $10 for the first time. Texas City Mayor Matt Doyle says the extra money will cover rising costs of cleaning up the nearly 5-mile-long dike after the busy holiday weekend. The higher fee also will be imposed over Labor Day.
EDINBURG, Texas (AP) A South Texas sheriff says an 11-year-old Guatemalan immigrant found dead in the brush near the Rio Grande was on his way to join his brother in Chicago. Gilberto Francisco Ramos Juarez's decomposed body was found June 15th near La Joya, about 20 miles west of McAllen.
SINTON, Texas (AP) A judge has set bond at $150,000 for a woman accused of tampering with evidence in a 2012 park attack case that left a woman dead and her girlfriend hurt. Laura Strickland has been ordered to wear an electronic monitor and live with her parents. Her husband faces capital murder charges for the attack in Portland, Texas.

MIAMI — Demar Phillips scored two goals 13 minutes apart in the second half to lift Jamaica past Guatemala 2-0 in a Group B CONCACAF Gold Cup match Friday night.
Phillips broke a scoreless tie with his first goal in the 65th minute. He received Keammar Daley's pass, dribbled toward the left wing of the penalty area, eluded defender Jonathan Lopez and beat goalkeeper Ricard Jerez with a shot that landed inside the right post.
Jamaica (2-0-0) clinched the victory on Philips' second goal in the 78th minute. Dane Richards dribbled toward the end line of the Guatemalan penalty area and centered a pass to an unmarked Phillips near the 6-yard box. Phillips' shot eluded Jerez.
Guatemala (0-1-1) played the final 20 minutes a man down after Cristian Noriega's second yellow card infraction.

2012 Colosi Rosso
"The 2012 Rosso is 80% Nero d'Avola with 20% Frappato executed in a simple, fruit-forward manner. The wine is shut down initially, but eventually unmasks simple pulses of dried cherry fruit and chalky earth. The wine travels primarily on those two rails, aromatically speaking. There's a touch of fruit sweetness on the finish and a subtle touch of fizzy effervescence as well."

MIAMI — Even with their one-point loss to the loathed Indiana Pacers, the Miami Heat returned home Sunday from their three-game trip with three victories.
At least that's the way it felt, particularly to forward LeBron James.
For all the consternation of falling short in Indianapolis, the Heat followed up the loss to the Pacers with shorthanded blowouts of the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks. During that Saturday victory over the Bucks at BMO Harris Bradley Center, James provided a victory of another sort.

The owner of the Cambridge Dunfield Retirement Residence has pledged $1 million for exclusive naming rights to the city's new performing arts complex to be operated by Drayton Entertainment.
Shiplake Management, one of the L Group of Companies owned by Toronto's Latner family, announced the 25-year agreement at the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning for Dunfield Theatre Cambridge.
"As a family, we believe culture is the fabric of every community," stated Michael Latner, a senior executive.
While speaking to the Times, Latner stated arts and culture is vital for growth and development and the longevity of young people and jobs. The family was instrumental in developing the concept of lifestyle retirement homes that commenced in the early 1990s and has helped establish large-scale art installations in Ontario, New York and the United Kingdom, he noted.
Shiplake Management opened The Dunfield in midtown Toronto in 2009. A smaller, yet similar upscale retirement residence is currently being constructed in Cambridge at Saginaw Parkway and Light Drive. The six-storey, $30-million-dollar building will accommodate 145 residents and is expected to be complete in the spring of 2013.
Construction of the newly-named Dunfield Theatre Cambridge began last September. Under the terms of the naming agreement, the Dunfield brand will be incorporated into the theatre's exterior and interior signage, as well as marketing materials, including the logo and web domain.
The new, 500-seat facility at 46 Grand Ave. S is expected to launch in early 2013 and will operate year-round.
"We're on schedule and we're on budget, and that's a good thing," said Alex Mustakas, artistic director and CEO of Drayton Entertainment.
"The winter has been very good to us."
The $22-million building agreement for the theatre included $6 million commitments on behalf of the city and the provincial and federal governments. Drayton Entertainment, a non-profit charitable organization, is responsible for fundraising $4 million as part of its commitment to the project.
Mustakas said Shiplake's donation brings that goal one step closer, although he said it should be viewed as an investment, not just a philanthropic gift.
Cambridge Mayor Doug Craig and MP Gary Goodyear lauded the partnership involving three levels of government. Goodyear emphasized that a city is built with more than just roads and bridges.
The theatre has already created jobs and will boost tourism from near and far, he said.
Drayton Entertainment is recognized by the Canadian Actors' Equity Association as the seventh largest employer of its members in Canada.
The award-winning organization operates seven live theatrical venues in Ontario, including the original Drayton Festival Theatre in Drayton, Huron Country Playhouse and Playhouse II in Grand Bend, King's Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene, and St. Jacobs Country Playhouse and Schoolhouse Theatre in St. Jacobs.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
By far the best school in the area. It has so much to offer, and has amazing academics. The teachers are dedicated to producing college-ready students. The CP level classes are more advanced than the Honors level classes at other local schools.
Masco is by the best public school on the North shore. Wonderful class selections and various levels of difficulty for all types of students. Dedicated teachers who prepare students to be 100% sucessful in college (from experience. I am a Masco alum)
Absolutely the best high school on the north shore. Fabulous course selection. Focus on ALL students.
From a college viewpoint Masconomet RHS is stunning. It's teachers are compassionate, and hard working. Their CP classes are those of honors level at neighboring schools. Although the work is extremely difficult, the school has an amazing music and art department. Their art program has been nationally recognized as the top 10 in the country. Masconomet has enough money to have close to 100 elective courses offered, which opens doors into different careers, and puts something extra on a high school transcript. Masconomet Regional High School is the best school to get ready for a 4 year college education.
masco is an amazing school. the teachers are really good, and the academics are at a college level.
Masco is a very good school. The teachers are of high quality. I am always impressed when we visit the school.
