Sir: Niall Meehan (Letters, 10 May) vastly exaggerates the size of the British Empire, which even at its greatest extent occupied less than a quarter of the Earth's land surface (12m square miles out of 52.5m, according to the Encylopaedia Britannica of 1910).
Moreover, while it may be true that the Foreign Office during the Second World War tried to play down the extent of the Holocaust, the notion that an effective censorship was exercised is hardly borne out by such things as the editorial headed "Holocaust" in the News Chronicle (the nearest thing in those days to an Independent) of 5 December 1942, in which some of the essential facts were spelt out. "More than half of Poland's three and a half million Jews," said the editorial, "have already been done to death." Nor was Parliament censored for the duration of hostilities.
Lord Samuel in the House of Lords (23 March 1943) spoke of deportations of Jews in Czechoslovakia and Austria, and again used the word holocaust.
Yours faithfully,
London, SW3
10 May
From Mr John Faulls
Sir: What ignorance Niall Meehan shows to write that Britain ruled over two-thirds of the Earth's surface when in fact never more than a quarter of the map was ever coloured red. Of this, the four dominions were self- governing, as was his own country, then called Eire. Provincial governments had been set up in India by the act of 1935, and it was only a matter of time before that country would have become independent if there had been no war.
Within 30 years of the end of the war Britain gave up nearly all her overseas territories with good grace. If Germany had won, Ireland would now be part of a German Nazi empire.
Yours faithfully,
10 May

Here's the latest installment of our ongoing FICTIONAL series, The Really, Really Blind Side.
Today, we're taking a look at how the Broncos really came to the decision to hire John Fox.
What's in a name? You'll see...

Enjoy the games! Go Seahawks!! Since we're all about being honest and forthright here, let's just be blunt - let's all hope Cutler takes about 12 sacks and throws 4 picks today...
According to NFLN's Mike Lombardi and Jason La Canfora, the Broncos are working toward hiring Sean McDermott to coordinate their defense. McDermott was fired yesterday by the Eagles, for whom he had coached thirteen seasons as an assistant, the last two as defensive coordinator. McDermott had trained under legendary Eagles DC Jim Johnson before taking over following Johnson's passing in 2009.
Continue reading "Broncos negotiating with McDermott for DC position"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! As reported yesterday, Mike McCoy is expected to return as Denver's offensive coordinator next season. According to Jason La Canfora, the Broncos and McCoy were still working out the details on a new contract which will keep McCoy around for his third season in Denver and beyond. Clearly, this makes all the sense in the world for the Broncos and John Fox, who employed McCoy for seven seasons in Carolina. Although the Broncos' offense will undoubtedly change some as McCoy applies his own philosophies in developing a playbook, the continuity for Denver's young QB Tim Tebow is priceless. Nothing would be worse for the Broncos' future than throwing Tebow into a new system in his second season.
Still wish the Broncos had Jay Cutler after all this time?
I don't. Josh McDaniels may have done a lot of things wrong, but one thing he got right was to send Jeff George's clone packing.
Cutler could win a hundred Super Bowls and I wouldn't care; the Broncos could finish at the bottom of the AFC West for a decade, and it wouldn't bother me. As long as I'm assured Jay Cutler will never throw another pass for the Denver Broncos, I'll be content.
This recent article from Rick Reilly hasn't received too much attention from Broncos fans, and rightly so. The Broncos have been pretty busy hiring a coach. But just in case there is anyone out there who thinks the Broncos would be better off with Cutler over any of the Broncos' quarterbacks, take a look at Reilly's article.
For those that can't bear to look, I've got some highlights.
Continue reading "Fat Man's Late Night Snack - I hate Jay Cutler (again)"
Enjoy the games everyone!
According to Adam Schefter's latest tweet, the Broncos have decided to keep Mike McCoy as offensive coordinator:
Not sure if this beats John Elway on Twitter, but the Broncos retained their OC Mike McCoy, who also could have gone to Clev or KC.
Either the Broncos retained McCoy or he decided to stay after weighing options from both the Browns and the Chiefs. You decide.
Continue reading "Broncos to retain Mike McCoy as offensive coordinator"

Good Morning, Broncos fans! John Fox was formally introduced yesterday as Denver's head coach. Fox covered plenty of (shallow) ground during his presser, and he was unsurprisingly noncommittal on the futures of Champ Bailey and Tim Tebow and whether his Broncos would favor a 30- or 40-front on defense. He said zone-blocking "will definitely be a part of our offense," but like Josh McDaniels stressed before him, all teams use a blend of zone- and angle/power blocking in their offensive schemes. As Ted had written on Thursday, Fox said he likes to be involved in all facets of the game as a manager-type but will not call plays on defense; he leaves the playcalling on both sides to his coordinators.
During his presser, Fox said he will "most definitely" retain some of the Broncos' incumbent assistants, but as of now there's no word on who is staying. Fox said that OC Mike McCoy, who spent seven seasons working for Fox in Carolina, "is definitely in consideration," but that both McCoy and the Broncos "have options." McCoy is reportedly also in contention for the Browns' and Chiefs vacant coordinator positions, but there's no word on whom else the Broncos are pondering for OC. Legwold says Fox is pursuing Jim Mora to be his DC, while WR coach Adam Gase may switch over to working with the QBs - which of course signals an exit for Ben McDaniels. Plus, Eric Studesville will be back as the RB coach according to Legwold.
John Fox's introduction as the Broncos' 14th head coach will be streamed live via the team's website at the top of the hour. Discuss Fox's comments here...

Katrina Bowden, who made her name as a character of NBC's 30 Rock set in the heart of Manhattan, got married one borough away on a rainy Sunday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
The actress tied the knot with musician Ben Jorgensen, her fiancé of a year and a half.
The couple, who got engaged the night before the Screen Actors Guild Awards in January 2012, planned the wedding themselves – which Bowden, 24, recently admitted was harder than she thought.

On Sunday, friends and family, including Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson, 7) and big sisters Pumpkin, Chickadee and Chubbs, joined the duo in their Georgia backyard for a ceremony to celebrate their love, followed by a rowdy family barbecue on what happens to be Cinco de Mayo.
"The day was very special mostly because my girls were able to take part in it," says June. "I felt like it was important for them to see this moment and celebrate my love for Sugar Bear."

"Somehow he managed to have the band learn the song as well as the backup vocalists," she says. "I was like a screaming hysterical fan at an Elvis concert."

Knoxville (WVLT) – A daylight prostitution sting has resulted in six arrests on eight charges.
The Knoxville Police Department says its East District Patrol Division Squad A conducted the sting Thursday between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM due to complaints from citizens in the community.
They focused on Magnolia Avenue and the communities of Parkridge and Old North Knoxville.
With some officers undercover as customers, they arrested five women and one man on charges of solicitation for the purpose of prostitution.
They also charged one person with public intoxication and another with possession of drug paraphernalia.
This was one of many on going prostitution stings that will be conducted in the near future.
The goal according to KPD is to clean up Knoxville communities while targeting known prostitutes and other criminals.

The Fresh Market - Favorite Products You Have Tried
- l
- littleflower Mar 2, 2013 11:31 AM
We shop at The Fresh Market quite frequently (most stores are located in the East Coast I believe but are rapidly expanding on the West Coast as well) and have accumulated some favorites that we buy there quite often. We can vouch for these:
Garlic Butter and Thyme flavored Rotisserie Chicken - the best flavor that we have tried out of all of them
Fresh Squeezed Tangerine Juice - good value for the price and very refreshing
Fresh Baked French Baguette - out of this world, especially when you get them right after they take them out of the oven - esp. with Kerrygold Unsalted Butter spreaded on a warm slice!
Ground Lamb - our store grinds up pieces of the leg of lamb and the taste is incredible, much less fat running throughout than other stores which normally grind up lamb shoulder
Old Fashioned Apple Pie - a steal when on sale (which is often!) at 5.99 per pie and tastes homemade
San Pelligrino Aranciata Sparkling Orange Beverage - 6 pk. cans were on sale for an incredible price of 3.99!
What products from there have you liked and would purchase again?
re: brilynn79
Yes - totally forgot about their fantastic cupcakes! In the springtime usually from March to May they sell strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing - some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. Their yellow cupcakes with chocolate icing are great as well.
re: littleflower
I love those strawberry cupcakes!!!!!
Pita bread from the bakery- probably wouldn't be a top 5 pick in some of the other places I've lived, but it's the best I can find around here
English toastng bread- our go-to all purpose white bread
boneless chicken breasts- nicely trimmed and seem to hit a good spot on the price-performance scale, especially when they're on the 2-for-1 Tuesdays monthly list
house blend decaf coffee- I supertaste bitter, and this is one of the few coffees I don't have to add an insane amount of sugar to in order to even hit tolerable
store brand ice cream- nice short ingredient list, good flavor
store brand coconut water- currently $3.50 a liter compared to $5 a liter for name brands
re: beachmouse
We like their Fresh Market blend (I am assuming this is the same as the house blend - not sure) and also really love how their coffee sample station usually contains three different kinds to try - a regular, a decaf, and a flavored coffee. Perfect for someone like me who likes to mix a little flavored coffee sometimes into my regular kind.
Fresh strawberries 3 packs for 10 dollars were quite good- what I am assuming are the first pick of the season. Nice to finally have decent fresh strawberries instead of relying on frozen ones throughout the winter!!
Interesting to read so many positives. They opened one near me about a year/year and half ago and I have been disappointed with them since day one. I think the last time I went in it was 6 months ago. Prices were very high compared to other local markets, ready made food was salty yet bland. Their bakery items (bread, rolls) developed mold within a day of purchase. Produce was hit and miss.
So disappointing as I was very excited about their opening as it was much closer to work than WF and was much bigger than our local speciality market. Word on the street is that they may be going out that center soon.
re: foodieX2
As with just about any store, there's going to be some hits and some misses - that is why I originally posted this topic, to see what people's favorite products are to give me and everyone else who does like to shop there some ideas on different products to try! I'm sorry to hear you didn't really enjoy shopping there, but do hope that those who do will post some of their Fresh Market favorite foods to buy.
I have unfortunately moved to away from any Fresh Markets, so my opinions are 3 years old.
I used to LOVE their refrigerated soups. I seriously miss them and have tried to duplicate them! There was a tomato basil that was like fresh tomatoes cooked down a bit with real leaves of basil running through and a hint of olive oil. They also did a similar vegetable soup, with the same type of cooked from fresh tomatoes, with all sorts of other garden veggies. It was so yummy and fresh and healthy (low in calories). The other varieties were also really good.
I also liked their rotisserie chickens. I remember them doing other rotisserie items too that were of similar good quality - like ribs, turkey legs and breasts, other meats. Their prepared hot foods were also pretty good if you ever need a quick dinner to go - mashed potatoes etc.
We absolutely love their Rotisserie Chicken Salad out of the pre-made case. One of the best out there, short of homemade. Sometimes our FM will do a special of a lb of chicken salad and a pack of mini croissants. Easy dinner!
Also +1 for Mellicita's rec of their refrigerated soups...
I tried their Brown Betty apple pie a few months ago and couldn't stop eating it!
I highly recommend their Cranberry Orange Walnut Poundcake - it's out of this WORLD good! Even better that this past week they had it on sale for 2.99!
I take a slice of this poundcake, brush with melted butter and lightly grill it on the grillpan. I add a drizzle of melted butter once once it's through, and then sprinkle it with a bit of sugar. Yum.

Airbnb has made enormous strides in the Vacation Rental segment of the travel industry in the past year, but a roller coaster week in the media may be threatening the image of this successful startup.
On Monday, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed an affidavit with the state Supreme Court in Albany claiming that the majority of Airbnb listings in New York are illegal. Schneiderman originally filed the subpoena, seeking user data from Airbnb, in October. Speculation is swirling that since the company has been in negotiations with the Attorney General's office for months, a settlement fell apart.
The issue at hand is that subletting for less than 30 days is in general illegal for renters in New York who are not continually residing in their apartment. For Airbnb, plenty of the nearly 20,000 offerings – 64% on January 31 – listed on the website in New York were for an "entire apartment", not a shared space, as the law would seem to mandate.

Meh! Experience @ Uchi!?
- c
- chowdahhead Mar 11, 2009 12:24 AM
My fiance and I just got back to Seattle from our long weekend in Austin. After reading gushing review after gushing review we were most excited about our Sunday reservation at Uchi. We both left feeling very unsatisfied, not really understanding what all the fuss is about.
Let me preface this review by saying that this restaurant is doing alot of things right as ambiance, design and customer service were all exceptional. Our expectations were definitely pretty high and we can be over-critical sometimes, but nothing even came close to wowing us the entire meal.
We ordered something from nearly every section of the menu:
- We started with a Sunomono seaweed salad that was lacking acid, but was overall very good.
- Next we had the Maguro Sashimi and Goat Cheese from the Cold Tastings. It was a well conceived dish, but the tuna was bland and everything was overpowered by the goat cheese.
- Next was the Omarru Ebi off of the daily specials menu with Lobster, Apricots, Garbanzo Beans and Basil. This dish first grabbed our attention because we love each of these ingredients separately and couldn't figure out how they would work together. The dish came out and absolutely nothing worked!!! Everything was thrown together on a plate with a red wine vinaigrette. The lobster was incredibly bland and watery and none of the flavors were harmonious. Not only was this dish a trainwreck, but it was way overpriced at $22 with 5 little pieces of clawmeat!
- Next up was the Avo Bake which was a surprising highlight of the meal despite the use of Krab. I realize we are crab-snobs from Seattle and that Texas is land locked , but I just don't understand why a restaurant of this caliber would resort to using fake crab. The flavors worked wonderfully though and we were both surprised by the creamy texture of the baked avocado.
- Next up was some sushi, a couple pieces of Unagi and the Zero Sen roll with yellowtail, avocado, crispy shallots, yuzu, roe and cilantro. Once again this roll contained some of our favorite ingredients, but was just so "middle of the road" void of any flavors that popped or even stood out. The unagi was fine, but was served with this balsamic glaze that just overpowered the eel completely.
- Throughout the meal, our waitress asked us how each dish was and we were honest with her saying many of the same things I mentioned above. When she arrived with the dessert menus she said that she was very sorry that we did not have a fantastic experience and that dessert was on them. We thought this was a very nice gesture and the cracked black pepper sorbet with fresh strawberries piqued our attention. The strawberries were delicious, but the sorbet misfired on a few points. The consistency was very grainy and we could barely taste the pepper. We understand that pepper needs to be used delicately, but it barely showed up. We also wish we could have gotten some of that balsamic glaze back from the unagi as it would have worked wonders to bring this dish together a little bit.
The bill came and we respectfully paid our $100 + tax and tip and left. As we were leaving, one of the managers stopped us and asked if we were the couple from Seattle who weren't impressed with our dining experience. We told him our thoughts and he said he was sorry and offered us a $25 gift certificate to come back next time we were in town.
We were very pleased with the exceptionally high level of customer service, but did we just come on a bad night or are we missing what all the buzz is about? Our meal was on Sunday night, which I know is notoriously the worse day to eat sushi, but we were expecting alot more.
To people that have eaten here before and rave about it: What happened here? Are we just over-critical snobs or was it an off night? We appreciate your feedback!
Chef's night off perhaps?
I had a contrary meal elsewhere and I could not understand it. How could everyone but me think so highly of this place?
With a little investigation I found that Chef was not there - Sunday - which I have come to understand is traditionally the day off for many hard working and dedicated chefs.
While not an excuse, I accept this information and do not schedule a highly anticipated meal on a Sunday.
re: Rene
That's definitely not an excuse, and definitely not THE excuse, either! We have been going to Uchi for a while, ever since they opened, and recently (past year?) pretty much every Fri. Tyson is usually not there on Fridays. We have also been there a few times on weeknights, for anniversaries, or before long weekends, etc. I have not detected any variation in quality depending on the day of the week.
In any case, even when Tyson is there, it's not like he fixes every plate his own self! :) Each chef appears to be responsible for a small number of dishes, and nothing else. I suppose, if a chef has a really REALLY bad hangover :) , that could affect his work...
re: TroyTempest
"Fine dining" places serve Spam too. It's not about how expensive or sophisticated or rare or pure or traditional the ingredients are; it's about what I put in my mouth.
All that said though, I suspect that the "Avo Bake" is a big seller, else it wouldn't still be there on the menu.
Oh, and speak of expensive, one of our fav Uchi dishes is not: "Ton Tamago: house-cured bacon, grilled soft-boiled quail eggs with black pepper tare and caramelized negi [scallions]". The "bacon", really a much leaner pork belly, nicely charred, along with the gooey egg yolks and the sweet sweet scallions, makes for a kick-@ss dish.
You're goring a sacred Austin ox here, chowda, but I gotta agree that not all of Tyson Cole's dishes work all the time. And with the level of experimentation he does - possibly the secret of his success - that's to be expected; when you push the envelope, sometimes you go too far. My GF and I had the tasting menu once, and as with your experience not everything worked (it was about a year ago so I don't remember it well enough to go into more detail - except for a vivid memory of some fried fish scales that I really did not care for....). As with your experience, service was excellent, and several dishes were outstanding; but some, alas, were not.
To the other responders who are defending Uchi without eating the same meal that chowdahead had, it seems to me he gave a balanced review - some props for things that were good (service, customer care, a few of the dishes) and some demerits for things that in his opinion did not work. Sounds like he was being honest and evaluating the restaurant objectively. Isn't that what we're supposed to do on this board?
re: Bat Guano
Agreed, BG, about this being a sacred Austin ox (as seen by the roasting chowdahhead got. I guess I'm just not "sophisticated" either, but I kinda thought Emporer's New Clothes when I went to Uchi. Service was excellent, but the ambiance was too loud and while it had its high points, the meal just wasn't worth the price. I'll be turning in my club jacket now.
re: Bat Guano
True 'nuf: experimentation does lead to some failures. But I have to point out that:
1. I find it difficult to believe that a new experiment would make it out of the kitchen without the blessing of Tyson and possibly several of his aides de camp: chef de cuisine, pastry chef, sous-chefs, etc.
2. Food is highly subjective. Just because Uchi puts it on the menu doesn't mean everybody is gonna love it. Indeed, I've had a few (but less than a handful!) of not-quite-hits at Uchi. The OP's "Omarru Ebi" could have been one of those.
It's too bad that the OP found Uchi wanting. I do want to point out a couple of things though:
1. The "Avo Bake": OK, so it's "krab". It's tasty, no?
2. Nigiri sushi and rolls: confession time: of the small fortune we've spent at Uchi, I think we spent less than $20 on the sushi and rolls!!! :) I think it's because if we really wanted "traditional" sushi, we'd have gone to the place that Tyson apprenticed at, Musashino. :) If by some miracle the OP comes back for a second beating :) at Uchi, I'd def say, skip the sushi and the rolls. There just doesn't seem to be much room for creativity there. They may be good, but IMHO, they're not "Uchi".
3. Dishes to try: "crudo", "uchiviche", "machi cure", "maguro sashimi and goat cheese" (just kidding! :) ), "hama chili". Most of the "cool" section on the menu, actually.
Also try: the "Ton Tamago", "kona kanpachi", "bacon sen".
Absolutely MUST have: whatever dessert special is on the menu! (Though any of the "regular" dessert items would be worthwhile as well.)
Probably should skip (IMHO): "saba shio", "hot rock wagyu beef" (but lots of people like this, so what do I know).
We've had to remove some posts that were more about the poster than about the food. Please remember that we're here to rate the chow, not the 'hound.
Thank you.
I've been to Uchi a few times and while it's always been fairly pleasant, I've never been wowed, as so many other posters seem to have been. One night the omakase menu had at least three dishes that were a variation on the exact same theme: nuts + sashimi + citrus infused soy. Other dishes were uneven, as you pointed out. Truly I think that Uchi's an untouchable because nobody wants to hurt Tyson Cole's feelings, and while I appreciate what he's doing, I think that constructive criticism will get him there so much quicker than "This is great!"
re: addlepated
Thanks addle and Bat Guano. Those are exactly the kind of responses that I was hoping for. I did not know alot about Tyson Cole and was just really expecting to be wowed. Knowing that he can sometimes be hit or miss makes me feel better. The experience was very pleasant and nothing was "bad," but next time I go back I will have to keep my expectations in check.
re: chowdahhead
The Maguro Sashimi and Goat Cheese is one of my favorite dishes, and I'm surprised and slightly irked to hear it maligned. I wonder if the fish just wasn't up to its usual quality.
re: wwiggins
Uchi would be nothing if not consistent with their "stock-in-trade" dishes such as the said maguro/goat cheese. It's highly unfortunate that the OP's felt that "the goat cheese overpowered everything". To me, cheese and apple is obviously the principal, and classic, combo here. And what about the pumpkin seed oil? I also don't understand the contention that "the tuna was bland". Tuna (maguro, not the fatty tuna variety) *IS* bland!
Thanks for the honest review. Just to let you know, we Austinites are usually pretty friendly, but talking bad of Uchi is apparently tantamount to urinating on Stevie Ray Vaughan's grave.
I have to agree with chowdahead. when we moved back to austin from LA, we heard nothing but raves about uchi. decided to check it out for our anniversary (on a saturday night), and we were sorely disappointed. granted part of this, as other posters have mentioned, may be b/c we went primarily for sushi, although at least for rolls, i would argue there is a great deal of room for creativity. we aimed for the more original rolls (endo, zero sen, mustang pitchfork), but either the flavor was all over the place (and not in a good way) or the meat/fish just wasn't up to par. while the restaurant is lovely, ambiance is great, and the service is top notch, i wasn't wowed by the meal and, for all the hype and the price, i definitely expected to be.
re: aprileee
For good sushi, try Tomo up on Parmer. When my wife and I just want good, fresh sushi, we usually go to Musashino or Tomo. (Disclaimer: I haven't been to either establishment in like 4 or 5 months, but I have no reason to believe they have gone downhill.)
re: pwang
Frankly, the very first review in this string is almost verbatim how my husband and I felt upon leaving this restaurant. The tuna WAS bland and the goat cheese DID overpower the dish. I put my chopsticks down and did not finish. I felt that was a waste of stomach space and I was hoping it was a fluke, and that the rest of the meal would be divine. The waitress and I had started the evening with a polite discussion about whether we should share each plate or not. I insisted that with such small portions, we should not. She said "it's family style here" and I said "That generally means that htere is a large portion at the center of the table." She said it was important that we share everything. In the spirit of the restaurant, we agreed. Our second dish was the Egg Shot. Wait...it's only one shot? I called over the waitress and asked, "Ok, how do we share this?" and she said, "Oh let me get you a second one." Which I took to mean she would pay for, and not charge us for, because this coming just minutes after this whole debate and not being "shareable" was sort of ridiculous. But, it was on the bill after all - both shots. That left a bitter taste in my mouth at the end of the evening. For a third dish we went with the Avo Bake. It was out of this world good, as many others have noted. However, given the prices, 1 out of 3 isn't going to cut it. We have an eight month old. We don't get out much. I've waited ONE YEAR to make it to this restaurant and my husband took me there for my birthday. This was a truly disappointing meal on many fronts. The food was not very good, and I think Mikado on 183 and Burnet does a much nicer presentation.
Now let me be very honest. I was upset because I could not hear my husband, we were shouting to hear each other, and the food was so off. So, we decided not to spend anymore of our time being disappointed, and we politely let the waitress know that we were leaving early...and then we went to Burger King.

re: insearchofdessert
Sorry about your birthday. :(
I just went there with my wife; our outings are rare as we have a lil' baby too. While some things weren't mindblowing, other things were jawdroppingly kickassopolis.
Uchi's biggest problem is the dumb wait for a table. The food jams are strong.
I really do feel for you, though. One night out a year, such a long wait, and the big bill. Killing fast food at the end just doesn't feel fair. I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't succumbed to the same temptations. I hope that if you give Uchi another chance you have the experience I have on average. I've had bad stops too, but the median experience is pretty darn good chow.

I suspect that all of the removed posts on this thread ridiculed chowdahhead for incorrectly and absurdly stating that Texas is landlocked.
We've been dining at Uchi for several years and I can't remember eating anything that wasn't delicious. Our family favorites include the machi cure, shag roll, pitchfork roll, shiromi nabe, kona kanpachi, tempura tiger shrimp, endo roll, spicy tuna roll, wagyu beef hot rock, and we enjoy the specials, too.

re: HookEm
Posts were removed because Chowdahead was basically called a rube for "not getting" the uchi experience, as i recall.
i have had MEH experiences at Uchi, but i do think they are a world class restaurant and i would continue to patronize Uchi if we were in NYC together.
is everything fantastic? no.
are even some standards that i usually love there not winners occasionally? yes.
i do think that anyone who is focused on the nigiri/sashimi or the maki is misguided. a bit of any of these to round out a meal is fine, esp. if you love the stuff -- but the thing about traditional sushi/sashimi to me is that once a sushi chef is ACCOMPLISHED, there is little difference between quality in any fine establishment. and fusion-maki should be approached as a novelty, there are too many flavors going on in any of them for them to truly sing.
that said, i usually order at least 5 pieces of nigiri and occasionally enjoy a roll ... my favorites are either the Zero Sen (which the OP didn't care for) and the Pitchfork.
when at Uchi, i focus on the daily specials. if there is a scallop dish, you can't go wrong. constructed sashimi with a special fish of the day and herbs is also a sound choice. a curveball, the meat/duck/ribs dishes on the specials page are always impressive.
the foie nigiri is to die for ... the preparation used to change daily/weekly but it has been the same for months now and i pass it up a lot, as the current is one of my least favorite of the combinations.
i have been disappointed by the lobster dish as well and never bother anymore and same with the mussels.
the pork belly dishes are wonderful, and the sweetbread specials (when available) have been truly inspired.... more like dining with David Chang than as a "sushi" restaurant.
the cold tastings that i love, in which the ingredients compliment but do not overpower the fish: machi cure, madai carpaccio, hama chili
i rarely bother with the hot dishes on the regular menu, excepting the bacon sen or the age dofu (their tofu is really good, and filling if you are trying to stretch your food dollars).
a typical dinner for two hungry people may be:
- 2 daily specials
- 2 cold dishes
- 10 nigiri (pulled from daily specials and rounded out with uni, sake toro and/or hamachi) or 6 nigiri + roll
- dessert
whereas Uchi is sometimes disappointing, it's a much better restaurant in general than i've experienced otherwise in Austin. and honestly, when i try to branch out i end up being so disappointed that it makes me afraid.

re: charlie_b
this is a great uchi menu "formula".
thanks for posting.
re: charlie_b
Charlie, you and I would eat well together at Uchi.
I was in on Saturday night and everything we had was exceptional: uni, unagi, sashimi/goat chese, pork belly, a special flounder (I think), pitchfork, zero sen, shag, biendo, and...something else I can't remember right now. It made me realize I'd stayed away too long and I need to make a monthly visit to Uchi.

As someone born in Washington state and currently living in Texas, I feel that I need to point this out:
Washington coastline: 157 miles
Texas coastline: 367 miles
The Gulf might not be a great source of seafood after the current mess, but Texas isn't landlocked.
re: emoore
i think the OP meant Austin is landlocked (hopefully), but what's the difference anyway. We have an airport. We get fresh seafood flown in from all over the world daily. I'll wager at least half of the seafood eaten in Austin doesn't come from the Texas Gulf coast anyway.

Building a Better Body Image
Our society tends to be obsessed with looks and weight, but that does not mean we have to passively accept the negative messages we receive about our bodies. Here are some helpful ways to empower yourself:
- Experiment with what weight feels comfortable to you, rather than trying primarily to be thin. Find your "set point," a weight where your body feels comfortable and will fight to remain. Accept weight variations throughout the life cycle.
- Reject the imposed ideals that womanhood must be suppressed. If you have a curvy body, embrace your curves as symbols of power and pride.
- Most of us judge each of our body parts individually -- my thighs are too fat, my breasts too droopy, my lips too thick. Try experiencing your body as a whole, rather than as separate parts that need improvement.
- Instead of trying to conform to the rigid beauty ideal promoted in the media, experiment with finding a style or look that expresses something about yourself and feels good to you. When you exercise, pay attention to the rhythms and sensations you experience as you move. While exercise is often promoted as a way to lose weight and achieve an idealized body shape, it also often helps us feel good in our bodies, which in turn can help us accept and even celebrate how we look.
- Include women of all ethnic and racial groups, age groups, sizes, abilities, and sexual orientations in your circle of friends. When we expose ourselves to the rich and varied experiences of all women, our narrow ideas about beauty and bodies often change.
- Notice how much time you spend worrying about your looks instead of being aware of what is going on inside of you or around you. Try practicing mindfulness, a technique used in meditation and yoga.
- Give up the media for a week. Forego reading magazines (especially fashion magazines!), watching television, or surfing the Internet. When you get the urge to click the remote control, go for a walk or invite a friend over for tea and conversation. At the end of the week, notice if you feel differently about yourself.
- Kill your inner supermodel. If you have an image of perfection in your head to which you're constantly comparing yourself, get rid of it. You think your nose is too big? Compared to whose? You consider your stretch marks "flaws"? Where is it written that our bodies should be free of lines or marks or scars? Such bodies do not exist in real life.

May 25, 2013Judging this Third Season of Battlestar Galactica by the high standards of Seasons One and Two it is easy to view it as a slight disappointment, particularly since it starts strongly following the last year's unexpected cliff-hanger.
Much of what made Battlestar so good for Two Seasons remains in place here. Refusing to pull its punches the opening episodes deal unflinchingly with the issues raised when an occupying force comes up against a determined local resistance (in a conflict that draws comparisons with the US occupation of Iraq). This strong storytelling combined with excellent performances from the cast and breathtaking combat scenes continues to make for fantastic viewing on plenty of occasions.
Where this series did falter however was in the increased focus on the Cylons. Season two had already done an excellent job of showing that they are not all the monsters we first believed them to be and Baltar's experiences aboard their ship, as well as often being unnecessary to the plot, came close to taking the show into your typical cliched sci-fi territory on more than one occasion and that has never been what Battlestar has been about.
Despite these mis-steps I can still highly recommend this Third season to anyone that has enjoyed the show so far and the many plot twists will keep viewers guessing throughout.… Expand
Jul 1, 2011best show ever, no doubt about it. consistantly excellent even tho the last season went off the rails a little (4 is the last season not 5 so not sure why MC has that down?) Great acting , great set pieces throughout - just watch watch watch (and from the beginning!)
Apr 11, 2013Should go down as one the greats. Philosophical, spiritual, beautiful, ugly, violent, and most of the time extremely well done. This series I believe ranks in the top 5 of The Wire, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad. The shows human elements are so well constructed and by the time I hit the 4th season my brain was already melted. There are few wayward episodes that do not move the story forward, and some of the characters presences and acting are better than others, but believe this series fracking rocks.… Expand
Nov 29, 2012Things are coming to a head for the characters of Galactica, with Starbuck's mad quest, grumblings of rebellion among the fleet, and the shocking revelation of the final five (in one of the greatest scenes ever put to film.) I found this season to be a seamless continuation of the BSG story and an edge-of-your seat political thrill ride.
The series' brilliant conceit is that enemies are often sane and rational, and many good guys and gals are obsessed, flawed, and ruthless.
Riveting as ever, Battlestar Galactica proves again that sci fi doesn't have to be clap trap.
The premiere should please fans who consider Battlestar Galactica a landmark and entice newcomers to look at previous seasons on DVD.
