Tart Frozen Yogurt Wars Have Begun in DC
The District has finally gotten a couple of "tart frozen yogurt" places a la Pinkberry. First there was Sweetgreens in Georgetown that opened last year. Tangysweet opened in Dupont on P St earlier this month, and this past weekend Mr. Yogato open on the other side of the Circle on P and 17th St.
For those of you have tried their fro yo,, let's compare and contrast and state our opinions about these frozen yogurt places: the product, service, atmosphere, etc. Sweetgreens also sells salads and Mr. Yogato is marketing itself as "fun" and "your local frozen yogurt place." What are your impressions?
I haven't been to TangySweet, but have tried Sweetgreen, Pinkberry, and Red Mango's yogurt. I was at Mr. Yogato on opening day and personally I liked the yogurt far more than any of the other fro-yos that I've tried. I heard a few comments about the flavors being undistinguishable, but I think that might just be personal preference. I appreciated the subtle mango flavor of one of the varieties because it let me taste mango as well as the classic tartness of this type of frozen yogurt.
As with most new concepts, there were a few operational kinks, however I'm confident the operators will use the first week or two to identify and rectify those problems. I appreciated the owners/partners/helpers genuine enthusiasm.
Domo Arigato, Mr. Yogato!
I checked out Mr.Yogato on Saturday and I really liked it. Their toppings options are a lot more extensive (including mochi!) than either Tangysweet or Sweetgreen. They also offer an original "non-tart" flavor, which I think covers those people who don't like the yogurt tang. I'm not a huge fan of all the gimmicks (trivia questions, etc.) but I do think it's a little less intimidating than the overly-designed ultra-cool Tangysweet. But don't get me wrong, both are good. I would choose Mr. Yogato because the toppings and flavor options are much more extensive.
re: hamster
Pretty much my thoughts exactly, hamster. I've had Tangysweet a few times and enjoyed it, but ultimately liked the Mr. Yogato one better after trying it yesterday. I loved that Mr. Yogato had mochi as a topping, and Fruity Pebbles, both of which I got on mine. I know Tangysweet lists Fruity Pebbles as a topping, but they never seem to have them when I've been there (I've seen Trix and another fruity cereal there- not the same!). Since I metro out to Dupont for this, I gotta say Tangysweet's a little more convenient, but I'd make the trek to Mr. Yogato again in a heartbeat.
re: gyozagirl
Forgive the long post. I just did a comparison between TangySweet and Mr. Yogato. I ordered a small classic with mango, blackberries and blueberries (this is a "little original tangy" at Mr. Yogato). Both were $4.50, consumed within 30 minutes of each other. The results:
TangySweet, as an establishment, is much cleaner and more efficient. The floor was clean, the toppings were in order, "spa" water was free and the line moved efficiently. The fro yo, itself, was creamy for fro yo and the mango was ripe. I did have a few mashed blueberries which I asked the girl behind the counter to please not put into my cup (she ignored my request). I deposited them in the trashcan which had a little foot pedal so I did not have to dirty my hands moving aside a cumbersome lid (cf. Mr. Yogato below). The guy who took my order behind the counter was a little sarcastic (a good thing; but see Steve below). I sampled the pomegranate on a previous visit and found it too tangy for my taste (sour is the word I would use). I am not from California but I give it an 8.5 for taste.
I had been excited about Mr. Yogato because of the name, I won't lie. When I walked through the door, I nearly walked out. The floor was disgusting. I felt like my sneakers, which had just been trekking around Dupont, were going to get dirty in there! I mentioned this to Steve, who apologized, told me my sneakers were very white -- and agreed that the floor was disgusting. I mentioned that I was on a taste comparison mission and Steve asked me to be brutally honest.
I sampled the peach, the soft original and the tangy original. The peach has a slightly chemical flavor that reminds me of Peach Schnapps. I was told that they use peach puree and no artificial flavoring -- but not fresh peaches (which would make a big difference). My comparison dish was tasty -- the berries were good (not a single squished blueberry) though the mango was not as good as the stuff at TangySweet (could be an off night). The consistency of Mr. Yogato original tangy is more icey than the stuff at TS. Based on taste, I give Mr. Yogato a 7.5.
On the other hand, the staff at Mr. Yogato is very friendly and very sincere (not sarcastic, almost to a fault). I think they just need to work out some kinks (evidenced by the white board that asks for customer feedback). Personally, I am not into the stamp on my head or some of the other games but the 2 girls in front of me happily got stamped.
The experience at Mr. Yogato ended with the trashcan. What is up with that rocket trashcan? Clever enough decoration but totally disgusting to actually use. The place looks like it was put together by college kids who are more interested in quirk than function (chairs were disorganized; line was kind of a mess as it bunches near the counter with ordering and receiving being on top of one another; also toppings were a mess).
As I walked home, I passed by TangySweet. It was closed. The employees were inside, busily mopping the floor.
re: MikeR
I just had my first ever tart yogurt last night at Shilla's bakery in Annandale. I must say I could easily become addicted. I had a small w/blueberries which were a nice complement to the fro-yo. The basic small cup is about three bucks before toppings. Someone was getting a strawberry bing soo that contained a major swirl of fro-yo and was a work of food art to behold. I may need to try that eventually but a simple cup w/out any toppings is going to be added to my frozen confection standard summer fare. I'm adding Shilla's to my frozen confection rotation list which include Dairy Godmother's, Frozen Dairy Bar, Nielsen's Custard, Woody's, Rita's Italian Ice, and even DQ when the mood strikes.
re: MikeR
Besides the Korean Bakeries like Shilla (Annandale & Centreville), Le Matin De Paris (Annandale), and Dolce (Annandale), the other places in Virginia are Ice Berry (South Riding & Reston) and Piccomolo (Fair Oaks Mall). Piccomolo mostly has (amazing) gelatos, so they only have the plain yogurt flavor, which is what I prefer anyway. I've really liked all the places named above except Le Matin De Paris, which had watery, yellowish-colored, non-tart yucky stuff. Anyone know of any others in Virginia? How about Maryland? The only one I know is Shilla Bakery at Twinbrook.
Having tried Tangysweet, I'll be very interested to try Mr. Yogato and hopefully enjoy a better experience. Tangysweet falls far short of the mark, IMO, especially since their mark is Pinkberry, who they clearly are trying to copy. At least Mr. Yogato isn't blatantly going down that road, although, in the end, it's all inspired by what's flourishing out west.
If/when Pinkberry hits the DC area, it'll be a tough row to hoe for the local upstarts.
re: AndrewF
I live in NOVA and work in Reston I have been to the ice berry in the new part of the towncenter off of market street near Il Fornaio, and I have to say that the yogurt is quite good combined with their fresh toppings, berries, nuts, mochi, etc.
nice stuff.
But a little pricey, but what is not these days?
re: keithlb1
I agree, Iceberry is delicious. I did a marketing project on them a few months ago and the owners told me they were planning to expand into Georgetown this summer - not sure what happened to that. But a friend of mine claims Iceberry froyo is available in the River Place convenience store in Rosslyn.
re: elaineathon
Ok, exactly where is the River Place convenience store? Because if it's as close to my office as I think it might be, I'd like to head over there asap.
re: caphill2320
Apparently it's in the market between all the River Place buildings, on the 1100 block of Arlington Blvd. If you go, let me know what you think! I have yet to check it out myself.
re: elaineathon
Ok, I tried going to this place the other day after work. They definitely have signs saying that they have Iceberry yogurt and they seemed to have a machine for it. However, when I was asking around for it, the people all looked kind of confused. Also, there were no toppings set out, so I have no idea if they even had any or if they did, how fresh they would be. I actually left and picked up Sweetgreen on my way home instead. Oh well...
re: caphill2320
That's bizarre. I was wondering if it was actually a store or just pre-packed yogurt or something. Well, at least there are other options!
re: elaineathon
In my quest for frozen yogurt in Arlington, I remembered this thread about the River Place market possibly having Iceberry yogurt so I checked it out this weekend to see if they've got it yet. Like caphill2320's report, there was an Iceberry sign on the front door, and there was a machine and counter in the back. I asked a woman at the cash register up front, and she said they had to temporarily stop the machine and said they should have it next week....
re: Jeserf
I hear they have mochi! Anyone try it yet?
re: Elyssa
original tangy + mochi balls + fruity pebbles + free rainbow sprinkles = I'd run to Dupont right now if I could
to answer your question, they have it, they're real, and they're FABULOUS.
yes, i definitely agree with many of the other posts - i like Mr. Yogato the most b/c it is most similar to Pinkberry, in tangy yogurt taste, as well as having mochi topping! Tangysweet will apparently get mochi at some point and i understand they have offered it here and there, but not on a consistent basis. but i feel that their original yogurt flavor does not have the tangy/tartness that Pinkberry has.
Plus, the people that work at Yogato are super friendly.
as for the Korean bakeries in Annandale, they're good to get your tangy yogurt fix if you are in the area, but their only toppings are fruit.
re: hollygolightly
I'm not into toppings, just a scoop of nice, cold, creamy and tangy yogurt, a small portion, not enough for three, and for a couple of bucks, not the price of a lunch (or what I'm still dreaming a lunch SHOULD cost). <g>
Mr. Yogato = two thumbs way up.
I got the original (not tart) with teddy grahams and raspberries. It was perfect. And everyone was very friendly, which is a nice change of pace these days. For $4, it made my afternoon!
I look forward to more visits, with laptop, when the weather is not as hot.
re: Jeserf
I just checked out Mr. Yogato this evening. LOVED it -- this is my first experience with tangy frozen yogurt, and it won't be my last. I sampled the mango, the mojito and the tangy original. All were good, but I settled on the tangy original. To me, the mango wasn't quite mango-y enough and the mojito not quite mojito-y enough. I ordered mochi -- they were out, so they gave me a card for a free yogurt-with-one-topping on my next visit, which will be soon. Starfruit was my second choice - they have lots of fresh fruit toppings to choose from, which makes this one healthy snack. (125 calories, 0 fiber, 0 fat in a "little" size.) Had a great chat with Steve, the founding partner. He is very open to discussing new flavors and pretty much anything else. Great guy, great business. I wish them all well and plan to become a regular here.
re: woodleyparkhound
wow they gave you a free yogurt just because they were out of a topping? Now THAT'S customer service.
I really hope they do well - they're all very nice and I'm glad to be moving to the hood to visit more often
re: Jeserf
Yes, Jeserf, they actually did that! I was surprised -- and dead impressed at their customer service. Yet another reason to run back there at my first opportunity!
re: masonuc
I think that's the effect most people have - either you love it or you hate it. This new froyo is mostly based on tart, less creamy frozen yogurt. So if you like TCBY froyo or custard-type items, you prob won't like the pinkberry/tangysweet/mr. yogato types. Although, I believe at Mr. Yogato has two variations of original, and the original creamy might be more to your liking. Personally, I love them all, haha :-)
re: gyozagirl
I'll have to check that out. That's unfortunate for me, if true, because I love the flavors these guys have. I am particularly a huge fan of green tea. Green tea ice cream mochi is one of my favorite things. And I love tart/tangy anything.
re: WestIndianArchie
Speaking of which...hello cupcake needs to open
I feel very uneducated for asking this question, but after reading all the posts and doing a quick Google, I'm not sure I understand what "tart frozen yogurt" is. I am assuming that Mr. Yogato's Original Soft would be the "common" version of frozen yogurt that is sweet, etc. How tangy is the tart? (For. example, I hate regular (non frozen) yogurt. Will I not like tart frozen?) Thanks guys!
re: ScarlyAngel
Until these places opened, my only experience of frozen yogurt was from the freezer section of the grocery store. That stuff tastes much more like ice cream than it does yogurt.
TangySweet's and Mr. Yamagondoto's offerings taste more like yogurt than ice cream. The consistency is similar to plain old soft serve, but it tends to be a little icier and less creamy. It definitely has a tangy taste like you might get from a tub of Yoplait.
Mr. Yogadidamoto's original flavor is still tangy and un-ice-cream-like, but the tangy flavor is a bit more tangy. Chances are, if you don't like non-frozen yogurt, you won't be a huge fan of either option. But definitely give it a try and prove me wrong!
re: aburkavage
I remember TCBY of ten or fifteen years ago being what I might describe as "tangy" - clearly different taste from soft ice cream or frozen custard, but with the same consistency. I had a TCBY at the Blimpie's in Ballston a few months back and it wasn't what I remembered. I don't know if it was because of the yogurt or my memory. I don't expect either one is quite up to what it used to be.
re: aburkavage
That's the thing -- I love regular yogurt, like Yoplait -- but I am not a huge fan of these froyo places. Love the flavors, hate the consistency of the froyo.
This tart yogurt is originally from Korea. I went to Annandale this past weekend to try the Korean version (You can get it at Shilla Bakery ... but I'm sure many other dessert places around Annandale will serve the tart froyo) and I think they have a much better balance of the sweet vs tangy taste compared to the ones in the city.
re: hosik
Interesting. I tried it at Shilla's yesterday. If this is what the buzz is all about, I think I'll stick to custard at Frozen Dairy Bar for my occasional guilty pleasure. It was a little tart, I guess, but also a little watery - not watery when frozen, but watery in my mouth when it started melting. $3 for a small size, which I'd call about the equivalent of a single scoop, with a few stawberries on top. Nothing to get excited about.
re: skipper
Frozen Dairy Bar has real frozen custard. Very rich, and a single scoop goes a long way (at least for little ol' me). I can't imagine eating a triple sundae, but I see a lot of people walking away from the counter with a big cup or full waffle cone.
It's made from a commercial mix base, which I think may be a health department requirement due to how raw eggs are handled. Seems that I've heard that but I can't remember if it was a local law or somewhere else.
re: skipper
Also I just had Dairy Godmother in Alexandria and enjoyed their custard, although wasn't huge on the mint, liked plain better, but plain was wonderful, I could have eaten it without a single topping and would have been quite happy.
I think I am a sweet girl, these froyo places don't thrill me I will take my Dolcezza gelatto (or the place in Clarendon) and my custard any day.
re: msdebsm
Yeah! That's the stuff I remember, and the stuff I want. Nothing fancy about it other than they served it in a glass dish with a real spoon as opposed to a styrofoam cup and plastic spoon. They didn't call it tangy or tart or Korean, it was just frozen yogurt.
I actually had something like that at the Larry's Cookies in Court House Plaza (Arlington) probably last summer. It came out of a soft-serve machine with a Colombo logo over it. A few months later I was in the area and stopped in for another dish and they didn't have it (for the season, I guess).
re: slwh
Right you are - Dannon. I looked up my post from nearly a year ago on the subject and I mentioned Dannon (not Colombo) there. Tried it again yesterday (Larry's Dannon) and it wasn't tangy at all, but cold, smooth, and creamy. Plenty to eat in a "small" - just slightly too much but I didn't want to throw it away <g> - and just a few cents over two bucks. And free parking can be found a few blocks away, a nice bit of exercise to walk off a couple of calories.
re: MikeR
I finally got to Mr. Yogato. My first impressions were positive.
Mr. Yogato serves a variety of flavors (up to 18), but only rotates four flavors at a time. Peach, mojito, tangy, and soft were available when I stopped by. I chose peach and got chocolate chips to top it off. It cost me around $3.75. The frozen yogurt was delicious; it tasted more like yogurt than fake ice cream. I guess that is what makes it "tart." According to a HUGE sign on the wall, Mr. Yogato's is fat free and only 25 calories per serving (there are 5 servings in the little portion). Not bad.
I thought the place was a little crazy... still the vibe was fun. I didn't feel like I was standing in line at CVS where all the employees could care less. Everyone at Mr. Yogato was really friendly.
A few photos and my review are here http://arugulafiles.typepad.com/the_a...
re: arugulafilesdc
^^So really it's 125 calories per serving? Why don't they just state that - it's not like that's a huge amount?
re: beauxgoris
it's 25 calories an ounce. not serving. each serving has a different number of ounces. And who knows if the ounce is served at an actual ounce.
re: Jeserf
Okay - we've done this twice now and the results have been confirmed (nevermind that it's a sample size of two): first, we tried TangySweet's original and green tea, then walked over to Mr. Yogato's and tried their tangy original and peach. IMHO, TangySweet's original is tangy-ier than Mr. Yogato's and I like TangySweet's version better. It's a little smoother and tastes more like yogurt rather than yogurt-pretending-to-be-ice-cream. HOWEVER, Mr. Yogato's gets SERIOUS points for ambience and their other flavors are delish. The peach + mochi combo rocks! TangySweet's ambience is fine, but when you walk into Mr. Yogato, you really feel like an excited little kid again and the staff are friendly and there's always a few of the owners hanging around, ready and willing to listen to your wacky flavor suggestions. My strategy from now on will be to stop by TangySweet first to get their original, then walk over to Mr. Yogato's to get whatever flavor sounds good + mochi!
re: msdebsm
The cafe at Lord and Taylor in Chevy Chase has that same tangy frozen yogurt as Bloomingdale's. Last time I had it to go they filled up a 20 oz cup for about $6.00. I don't know about the toppings, because I prefer it without. The yogurt was smooth and delicious.
I had SweetGreen's today which comes with 3 toppings. The berries I chose were fresh and tasty, as was the froyo, but the consistency was odd, maybe icy as otherwise described. It was lumpy, anyway, not the creamy, smooth product I was hoping for.
Tangy Sweet was much more what I was hoping for, maybe even better than Lord & Taylor, and it is available "naked". I've only had a teeny sample of Mr. Yogato that they were giving out on 17th Street in front of the store. Clearly, more research is in order!
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Sweetgreen is the best of the bunch. I've tried SG a bunch of times, Mr. Yogato twice, and Tangysweet once.
The whole Mr. Yogato concept is cute and the staff is super nice, but unfortunately that doesn't make up for two major issues: too sweet "tangy" and skimpy servings (especially at nearly $4 a pop for a small!). Also, the yogurt isn't as creamy as Sweetgreen--another strike.
Sweetgreen's small is a generous serving (although that may depend on who is wielding the yogurt machine), the flavor truly is tangy, and you get 3 toppings for the price of the small. Plus, the place is eco-friendly and clean.
As for Tangysweet, it's just ok. Again, the time I was there, the portion was definitely on the puny side and the flavor (original) was too sweet. The atmosphere was fine--but I'm not going there for that.
re: foodiejourno
I agree. I just tried Mr. Yogato yesterday, and I hit Sweetgreen pretty often. I haven't been to Tangysweet yet, but I definitely like Sweetgreen best. The Mr. Yogato tangy was way too sweet. Plus, their almonds weren't toasted! (I almost always get strawberries, mango and almonds) I wish Sweetgreen weren't quite so stingy with the toppings, but it's definitely my favorite in DC. Pinkberry is better than both though.
re: foodiejourno
Considering I started this about a month ago, I thought I'd put my two cents in. I'm a HUGE fro yo fan, so I've been frequently eating the stuff non-stop this whole summer.
At first I really liked Mr. Yogato. It was fun, they said they had four rotating flavors and I loved how the employees were constantly giving out samples while people waited in line (and gave out trivia discounts). However, when it comes down to it, their product is not that good. They original tangy isn't tangy enough and their original creamy is too sweet and not creamy enough. Their rotating flavors haven't really been changing much, and the flavors they have chosen (mojito, mango & peach) don't work with their product. Also, they have stopped giving out the free samples in line. Yes, people may already know the concept of this place, but if we're going to wait in line for 20 minutes, give us a sample to tempt us to stay in line. My biggest problem, though, is they haven't found an efficient way to serve the frozen yogurt. I understand the place is small but they need to have a better ordering system.
Tangysweet I was having a love-hate relationship with. However, the love is back on. For a while they were having major efficiency problems too, but they have seemed to figure out a system now that works--most of the time. When it comes down to it, Tangysweet's frozen yogurt is so much tastier than Mr. Yogato. It might not be as "fun," but I'm not going to these places for that. I'm going for taste and their original is tangy and their green tea is delicious. In the past few weeks they have hired more help, so it's a much better experience going in there.
Sweetgreens I've had a couple of times but it's a far trek out to Georgetown. Their product is good (much better than Mr. Yogato) but if I'm in Georgetown and craving some frozen delights, I'll be heading to Thomas Sweets!
re: foodiejourno
I have yet to get to Mr. Yogato, but between Tangysweet and Sweetgreen there's no question--I'd pick Tangysweet anyday!
I found Sweetgreen's yogurt to be too icy. Plus once I got blueberries as one of my toppings and they were frozen solid too.
In the end, when it comes to tangy yogurt I prefer au natural (i.e. no toppings). And between these two, Tangysweet is certainly on top.
Here's to hoping we get more tangy yogurt in the Downtown/Penn Quarter/Mount Vernon Square area! (Where I live and work!)
Since the temps went back to normal August hot today I decided to pop into Yo Fruit. Yo Fruit is located in the strip mall in Annandale on Little River Turnpike which contains the Safeway. On my first visit to Yo fruit I had not been impressed with the pomegranate tart fro-yo. I found it not very tart and seemed to be more like conventional fro-yo, not the Korean tart stuff. Today's visit left a completely different impression. The machines were dispensing Mango, Vanilla and Green Tea fro yo. I selected a small mango - no topping. However my cup only got half filled when either the machine jammed or the mango ran out. I told the ladies to fill the rest of the serving with green tea and boy was I glad. I found both the green tea and mango to be awesome tasty tart and the combo of the the two was really complementary. I always get mine to go, but the seating area is cute and funky and the staff very welcoming. I look forward to trying more flavors albeit I'll skip the pomegranate but will so be repeating the green tea and mango combo.
Because of this Post I decided to see for myself what all the FroYo Wars were about and our first venture was TangySweet.
I have to thank Jacey because now I am hooked on this stuff. So we decided to try ALL the places mentioned and then some and also frequented some of these places more than once.
TangySweet: Excellent, i enjoy the tangy taste with the fresh cut fruit. Staff was friendly and the place is so clean you notice it immediately. This is a plus since there is a great deal of food prep that you want cross-contamination to be nil
Decor is very cool especially at night with the lighting. (Been here 5+ times)
Mr. Yogato: a little sweeter than I expected but it was still good. I guess I was looking for the tangy taste.
Staff was friendly but we answered the 'Trivia Question' for the 10% disc. and we asked about it they were so busy he asked if he could do it after the line died down. yeah right like we were going to wait. I think it was all bs but oh well not going back anyway.
Place was filthy from outside all the way to the Yogurt Machines.
This was a big turn-off for our group because of this we will not return.
Ice Berry: This place is excellent and we have been back 10+ times. Uber clean... staff is very friendly except when you get one of the owners. They are polite but they want you to pay and MOVE ON. We are always in a group so we always find the humor in it. Reminds us of the 'Soup Nazi' episode in Seinfeld
Flavors are spot-on for what you expect. Fresh fruit is always fresh and cut nicely.
Only other thing is you never know what size to order because depending on who is pulling the slot machine arm on the FroYo machine yo never know what you really going to get I have had a small that was too large and a large that seemed too small.
Medium with 3 toppings seems to be the safe bet.
They are in Reston and now Springfield. Reston is by far the nicest Springfield is next to a Giant Foods but the area is a little shady in the eve.(Been 10+ times)
Shillas: Not really anything special, don't ask for a sample they will look at you like you asked for a sample of their blood. The bakery items although are very good apparently they are very popular because of the baked goods and FroYo was an afterthought.(Went once that was enough)
GreenBerry's : The Mclean location is the only one that has this so far. It is a small part of their business and the newest and it shows because it is crammed into the back corner of an already small very busy location;
The FroYo was very tasty and fruit is always fresh. Staff is amazing
parking is very ample.(Been here 10+ times)
Sweet Green's: This is OK but the FroYo was a bit on the icy side and was very 'airy' fruit was very good but with the yogurt it seemed like it was a bit lacking. ( Been 2 times and not going back)
Yogi Berri: This is in Olney MD, Decor was amazing, FroYo was a bit on the sweet side but still very good. Fruit and topping selection was the best to date. Staff was very friendly and portions were larger than expected.
only drawback Olney,MD??? this is somewhere between Silver Spring and Gaithersburg, MD we went because we were curious plus it had such a cool name.
They are opening in Rockville in the Fall apparently.
I have been hearing some talk that a place in Merrifield will be opening in the coming months I will keep you all posted
re: foodiecritics
I was at Moby Dick in McLean at lunch today and thought I'd try the frozen yogurt at Gerrenberry. At $4.50 for a serving whether I wanted the three "free" toppings or not (I didn't) I decided to pass.
Why is this stuff so expensive? Maybe just because it's not all that common any more.
re: foodiecritics
I noticed that Bumblefish (fast food sushi) in Old Town Alexandria has a sign saying they have tart frozen yogurt.
re: cheesepowder
I tried it a couple weeks ago, its pretty good and I found it to be very refreshing. I got rainbow sprinkles on mine, I don't recall them having many options for toppings.
re: JoanArkham
TangySweet is opening up a second outpost there. Can't remember exactly where, but def in the PQ area - passed by the other day and the coming soon sign was up.
re: tld373
7th and E in the old Juan Valdez location.
re: hamster
Oh, it's Yogi Berri. Should have read foodiecritics' comprehensive thread above before posting!
Does anyone know when Iceberry in Georgetown is planning to open. The "Opening Soon" sign has been up a long time now.
Cali Yogurt has come to Adams Morgan. I've passed by their store with a "Coming soon" sign up and have been waiting for this one to open, hopefully soon. I have been to their Cali location and they taste better than Pink Berry IMO.
Went to Tangysweet the other day and they had -- as a topping -- pomegrante seeds. Oh man, I was in heaven. I need to figure out where they get those. Maybe they just prepare them themselves. I know Whole Foods sells them but they are like $20/pound (of course you are paying for the labor -- pomegrantes themselves are not that expensive).
re: masonuc
Yogiberry in Cleveland Park also has pomegranate seeds as a topping.
re: hamster
went the other night. tasty enough, but holy crap it was expensive. Almost $6.
I can buy TWO pints of ben and jerrys for that price, and it'll probably taste better.
re: caphill2320
Yes, Iceberry is definitely open. I walked by on Wednesday and they were serving customers.
re: hamster
Tried it out last weekend. Pretty good. They had original tangy, green tea (quite strong tasting), strawberry and some melon flavor. I still like tangysweet's orginal better but Iceberry is a lot better than Mr. Yogalato.
They also make waffles here with some great toppings..
Has anyone had the hot chocolate at TangySweet? Got an email saying they were doing it for the winter and it was supposed to be 'amazing'...wondered if it lived up to the hype!
re: Jacey
Are you talking about the corner of 7th and E? Not quite Chinatown. Think Penn Quarter! Anyway, not as of this a.m., but there has been a lot of activity in there at night, including racks of cupcakes. I'm not familiar with Tangysweet, and wonder why a frozen dessert place would open in the winter, although I guess it will look for the Shakespeare/Harman crowd.
re: nickdanger
Actually Nickdanger, the whole area is called Chinatown/Penn Quarter until you hit D St.
Also, FYI, the Caliyogurt on 18th in Adams Morgan is open and I believe having a "grand opening" tomorrow (Saturday Dec 20), which should mean some free stuff, I guess.
I can't tell that it's tart-style, though, and haven't been there. Does anyone know anything?
I agree a strange time to be opening a frozen yogurt place, but they also seem to be making a big deal about their tea.
re: mselectra
Their tea is from www.tavalon.com, if you've never tried it, it is worth making a big deal over!
I've eaten at Tangysweet, Shilla (Centreville), and Mr. Yogato.
Tangysweet was my favorite (great consistency, topped with blueberries, mochi, and captain crunch).
Side note: Is tangysweet really opening a location? I know the owner's sister is opening Red Velvet Cupcakery in Penn Quarter, which is next to Chinatown
Shilla Centreville was runny and I didn't like the toppings, though the Annandale one looked better (huge bowls with cornflakeS).
Mr. Yogato is... okay. I don't like their flavors (coffee tasted horrible) and the consistency was off. They have a lot of toppings, but none that I'm that interested in. (Had vanilla wafers + fruity pebbles + chocolate).
I haven't had a chance to try Iceberry because the Georgetown one hasn't opened yet.
My verdict: Sorry, but my favorite tangy yogurt was had in Kanagawa, Japan (http://www.yogorino.com/). I haven't had anything to rival it here! Runner up is tangysweet -- you have to ask for the mochi though!
pictures (in order): yogorino, yogato, shilla (sorry, i lost my tangysweet pic!)
re: discojing
Check out Yogiberry in Cleveland Park. Pretty tasty. And the Iceberry in Georgetown is indeed open.
re: hamster
Love to hear iceberry reviews!
Prediction: The so-called "tart frozen yogurt" movement is going to run its course in a matter of a couple of years...probably less. A lot of these places are going to fail.
I simply don't get the attraction of the product. After trying several different places over the last 6 months (Pinkberry, Mr. Yogato, YogiBerry, Iceberry, and Tangysweet), I don't see anything that extends beyond the fad aspect.
I stand around in these stores and watch the mostly upscale parents go on and on about how wonderful this stuff is, while their poor kids can't understand why the nice people behind the counter forgot to add sugar to the frozen glop in their cups. (As usual, the kids understand that "the Emperor has no clothes".)
This type of product has a very iffy value proposition. They are essentially taking straight, plain yogurt with very little sweetner and no stabilizer - and they are just freezing it into a often grainy, tart-to-sour substance that is roughly the texture of ice milk. The flavorings (such as green tea) are often very cheap. Novel toppings like mochi (mashed, pressed, sweetened rice cake that anyone can make), fresh cut fruit, and granola may be different, but after a while the novelty will wear off and the consumer will realize that they are overpriced.
Even Iceberry (which I like) isn't what it appears. I have learned that the main raw product is a powder (shipped from Italy) that is added to milk and frozen into a yogurt-like frozen dessert. I have no issue with the fact that they reconstitute their product. However, the fact that it costs $5-6 for a medium (which is roughly the size of a large one-scoop sundae with about 2 ounces of topping) seems a bit ridiculous.
Oh yeah...the best part. In return for the honor of purchasing these fu-fu frozen concoctions, you get small (often micro) portions and have to pay $2-3 more than you would with more common ice cream, or traditional frozen yogurt sundae.
Bottom line: Cheap ingredients + small portions + high prices + lots of advertising hype = A bad business model with a very limited future.
I'm glad to see diversity in the marketplace, but this is a fad (and a primarily urban fad, at that). Somehow, I don't think the boys at Dairy Queen and Baskin-Robbins are sweating over this.
re: Sean D
I'm pretty sure Yogato will be around.
Why? because it's fun. You get trivia, lots of fun ways to get discounts, the staff/owner are really inviting and I don't think it's too expensive.
With our trivia and stamp card, we got 4 smalls (smalls are bigger than they were last year with more toppings) for $9. Have to get a plain one for the dog, of course.
I agree that the sterile boring ones like the one in Cleveland Park probably won't be around long, but I think Mr Yogato brings something great to our neighborhood. The BR is horrible with miserable employees.
yogato is just plain fun!
re: Jeserf
I think Yogato will be around because it's in a better spot than the closer Fro-Yo places.
re: Jeserf
I was re-reading your post trying to figure out what you meant about "BR', but now I get it and totally agree. I had an awful experience not too long at the BR in Woodley Park. I mean, how difficult is it to make a decent, edible hot fudge sundae? Apparently, at BR it takes a village (LOL). i was waited on by at least 3 people and none of them knew what they were doing. Then after paying $6, I got a small cup of what looked like a hot fudged sundae, but the hot fudge was like cold rubber and there was more whipped cream than ice cream! I was so exasperated that I just threw the sundae out. If I had known about the Mr. Yogato in CP, I would have gone there.
re: Gigi007
Is there a Mr. Yogato in Cleveland Park? I think Jeserf was referring to the "sterile" one in the little mall, where Foster's coffee used to be? (I haven't been to that one.)
I did happen to go to Mr Yogato (17th St) yesterday, first time in a very long time, and confirmed that I still really like it.
re: mselectra
I don't know b/c I haven't been there either. Jeserf referred to one. By little mall, if you mean the "Park and Shop" where Magruder's used to be, that might be the location, but again, I haven't been there. Maybe Jeserf can provide more info.
re: Gigi007
Hi Gigi -- I realized I could easily look this up -- the only DC location of Mr. Yogato seems to be the 17th street one, but it looks like one has opened in Fells Point, Baltimore: http://www.mryogato.com/store-informa...
I believe Jeserf lives in the U Street area and mentions somewhere above walking the dog to Mr. Yogato -- she wrote that quite a while ago, though (in an argument with Sean) -- this is a pretty mammoth thread at this point.
I'm pretty positive that a froyo place took over the Foster's space, yes, near where Magruder's used to be in CP. I don't know if anyone has actually reviewed it on this thread, though.
re: mselectra
Thanks, mselectra. Maybe Jeserf is talking about another place in Cleveland Park; she posted about it in May, which wasn't all that long ago. I'm in CP pretty frequently, but tend not to notice what's going on in the Park and Shop plaza. There are so many empty storefronts, that it's depressing. One positive development is that Palena will be expanding into the former Magruder's space.
I definitely need to expand my froyo horizons and will try to mak it to the Mr. Yogato on 17th Street. I don't think I'll become a froyo fanatic, but I have to say after eating rather average froyo in Friendship Heights (which I've already posted about), I thought it would make a good lunch or late afternoon snack. I'm late to the party, but better late than never, I guess! Thanks again.
re: mselectra
It's Yogiberry in Cleveland Park. I tried it when they opened a year ago, but haven't been back in the neighborhood.
I heard Tangysweet is opening a 3rd location at 15th and P next to Lululemon. I think that will cut some of Yogato's client base for sure.
re: hamster
wow that's right next to Pitango Gelato, right? Not sure that's a smart move, in tangy frozen yogurt vs gelato, I'm guessing gelato has an advantage.
I missed your review of Yogiberry last year, now I really need to try it.
(And I got #100 reply to this thread ;)
re: mselectra
Yeah, I'm not sure how that will work out. There is the whole health factor which Tangysweet has going for it, especially next door to a gym, yoga studio, and Whole Foods.
By the way, I tried Pitango finally, and found it underwhelming. Maybe it was the flavors that I sampled (chocolate and apricot), but I found the tastes really weak and watery. Dolcezza is a lot better.
re: hamster
Have you tried the dark chocolate noir (I think it's called)? I thought that was pretty good and rich. I've heard some raving about the affogatto (is that what it's called, it's espresso over gelato and looks great) and the "sipping" hot chocolate was a nice treat. But I like Dolcezza better too. Actually, I think I prefer tangy frozen yogurt, but I'll only admit that here where I'm anonymous.
re: hamster
I have yet to try Pitango, but have heard the same comments as yours from friends. I'm a Dolcezza addict myself. The range of peach flavors that they had about a month or two ago was outstanding, and I love to pair the fruity flavors with the hazelnut chocolate.
My husband and I finally got around to trying our first tart frozen yogurt at the PQ Tangysweet before the Bruce Springsteen concert. (Husband had the green tea flavor and I had the pomegranate flavor.) Loved the stuff, so I'd like to locate some places where we can get our fix in N. Virginia. With warmer weather here, I thought I'd revive this thread since all but one of the posts are a year old.
Are there any new brands worth trying in the metro area? I noticed a big sign about yogurt draped across the front of the Greenberry's coffee shop in McLean? Is their yogurt good? Are there any locations of Pinkberry, Tangysweet, etc located in Northern Virginia or is tart yogurt essentially a DC thing?
re: Indy 67
I love the yogurt at Sweetgreen... Have yet to try the others.
re: Indy 67
Nope, Northern Virginia has IceBerry, Yogen Fruz, and Tart yogurt available at all Shilla Bakeries.
My highest recommendation goes to Shilla. You can get a small, medium, or large yogurt with toppings, but the BEST is the Yogurt Bing Soo, which is that monstrous concoction below that has shaved ice with a little sweetened condensed milk topped with a heaping pile of delicious tart yogurt, oodles of fruit, and frosted flakes.
There are many many Shillas in Northern Virginia, but the best is the original @ Annandale. In fact, I've had the yogurt at the Centreville location and can vouch that the Annandale location is better. But, if you want a quick pastry or boba bubble tea fix, any will do. (There is one in Centreville, two in Fairfax, and I'm sure many more peppered around the county)
My #2 is Iceberry (Reston and South Riding as well as Georgetown). I love the Honeydew flavor with gummy bears on top.
#3 is Yogen Fruz (Tysons Corner mall and Reston Town Center)
I've tried the Green Tea Lychee mixture twice and don't care much for it. The chocolate is much better and I haven't tried the vanilla.
All are about the same price. I've been to tangysweet (green tea flavor is yummy!), and Mr. Yogato (didn't care for), but have not been to sweet green, which seems to be the only place left on my map to conquer!

re: discojing
I love tangy yogurt and get it pretty often. I like them in this order.
1) Mr. Yogato (I love the owner and the vibe and the fact that it's not a chain - I also love their original tangy flavor, especially with li hing mui powder - only Mr. Yogato has that as a topping. It's also cheaper - and I always get a head stamp for 10% off -- it used to be 20% off!)
2) Tangy Sweet (I go here more than Mr. Yogato because their locations are more convenient for me. I love the green tea with kiwi fruit.)
3) Sweet Green (it's OK and if I happen to be near one and have a yen for tangy yogurt, I go, but taste-wise, I don't think it is nearly as good as the first two)
4) Yogenfruz -- don't bother.
re: woodleyparkhound
I can see that I have some catching up to do on the froyo front. I've yet to try Mr. Yogato or Tangy Sweet. So far, I've tried Sweet Green, Iceberry, and FroYo (the self-service place on Wisconsin Avenue on the patio in front of Booeymonger's). Regarding tangy frozen yogurt, I'd say that Sweet Green and Iceberry are good. FroYo's version didn't taste very tangy at all, but I did like their classic chocolate and vanilla flavors (and at $.39/oz., it's a pretty good deal).
re: woodleyparkhound
This list sounds about right to me.
Wanted to mention, if you all haven't seen it, there's a Sweet Green truck around town. I found them at 19th&L recently, but she told me they usually park at 20th (I think I'm remembering right). What I really appreciated was that they sell a $2 cone of the plain flavor, which is pretty much exactly the size and flavor that I want (instead of the usual $4.00+ with two toppings being the minimum.)
re: mselectra
Good to know. mselectra, you always have great tips!
There's a new tart frozen yogurt place in Rockville -- Berry Cup. Both the yogurt and the toppings are self-serve, and then it's weighed. They charge 45 cents an ounce.
I thought the yogurt was not as good as Mr. Yogato's, but loved that it was self-serve and that it's so much closer to me than Dupont!

If you are looking for something for mostly bench shooting or shooting at distance, obviously the 8x would be an advantage. For close range and home defense the 1-4 would be better but the 2-8 will work in that role also. Honestly, for a do everything optic 2-8 is a good choice. I have a Weaver Euro 1.5-6 that's been excellent.

Veteran pleads guilty to murder at Fort Polk
A 28-year-old Army veteran has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2010 slaying of a Montana soldier at Fort Polk.
The Town Talk reports ( http://townta.lk/14ZvBkH) Marcus Patterson Carey also pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted murder in an attack on a second soldier at the Army base in Vernon Parish.
Carey entered the pleas Wednesday in front of U.S. District Judge Patricia Minaldi. The judge set sentencing for Sept. 19.
According to court records, Carey served in the Army from August 2005 until August 2009. His last duty station was Fort Polk. Upon his discharge, officials said, Carey continued to stay at the post.
Carey and soldier Howard Wayne Alley were staying at the Fort Polk apartment of Byron Whitcomb of Whitefish, Mont., on the morning of June 19, 2010, officials said.
According to court papers, Whitcomb and Alley were sleeping in the living room, Whitcomb on a sectional sofa and Alley on an air mattress. Officials said Carey woke up, retrieved a hammer from the laundry room and some knives from the kitchen and then began attacking Whitcomb, striking him in the head with the hammer and stabbing him numerous times. Whitcomb bled to death, according to court records.
Carey also attacked Alley, hitting him with the hammer and stabbing him several times, court records show. Alley was able to escape to a neighbor's apartment.

Great acceleration, features, build quality, goes through anything, reliability, its a Toyota!
Gas mileage, headroom
Best Suv Out There! — The exterior looks great. Ride quality is smooth on paved roads for an SUV with a rear live axle. Handling is great with the XREAS and not top heavy for its height. The V8 is fast and has plenty of torque to pull anything. The interior design is alright with the black marble trim and leather. The 4Runner is packed with features like dual zone auto climate control, power everything, auto headlights, heated seats, adjustable ride height, and navigation system. The seats are low to the ground, but I find them comfortable. Headroom can be a little more generous, but it doesn't prevent me from loving this truck! I definitely would recommend the 4Runner to anybody.

Plenty of room. Handles great for an SUV. Has great power. I like to get up and go and it does it with no problem. I feel like my children and I are 100% safe in this car. It is still in great condition for 7 years old with two kids. It's comfortable. And very reliable. I have never had 1 problem with my car.
With this economy and gas prices as they are. Gas millage hurts for the daily drive I have.
Nice Rig — I love love love my 4runner and hate to get rid of it. She has been very reliable and safe for my children and I. I can no longer afford the gas millage it gives me though.

Looks and fuel economy.
Terrible anti-slip traction control and stability warning far to touchy. If the traction control system even thought the car might slipspin a tire it would take over and ALL control of the gas pedal was GONE! This nearly caused me to be in a number of accidents while entering traffic from a stop sign and other areas. I could get stuck in front of my own house on level ground with 1" of snow on the ground (with new traction tires on the car)! Terrible System!!! I took this to the Toyota dealer many times and spent over four thousand dollars in their attempts to make it right and ultimately told me that everything was working at manufacturers specs. I will sell this and never buy another! (That is after driving Toyota's for 30 years).

The Neuro Team
Rolando Del Maestro, MD, PhD
Dr. Rolando F. Del Maestro is the Director of the MNI's Brain Tumour Research Centre. His research focuses on the invasiveness of malignant glial cells. Malignant glial tumours are complex cellular microenvironments containing one large localized aggregation of tumour cells and smaller subpopulations of invading tumour cells distant from the main tumour mass. Failure to control these subpopulations of invading tumour cells may be the key reason for local and distant recurrence after radical resection and may contribute substantially to the failure of other modalities of treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The goals of his research are:
1. To characterize the invasive paradigms used by malignant glial cells to invade three-dimensional matrices using time-lapsed video microscopy
2. To delineate the genetic and biochemical determinants of these invasive paradigms
3. To develop novel chemotherapeutic approaches to target these invasive subpopulations of malignant cells

That was the case of Sgt. Sarah Wines who wanted, not only for her but the 25 percent of soldiers who are women, a better grade of toiletries.
The Army provides basic shampoos and toothpaste, but anyone who has ever used them will attest they leave a lot to be desired.

On what was Day 14 of Barack Obama's term as president, Chiefland's Robert and Rutha Scott were as excited as if it were Jan. 20 all over again.
The Scotts, well known in West Levy County for their ministerial work and involvement in the black community, were animated in their speech and lively in their body language as they recalled their part in the inauguration of America's first black president.
It all started back in November, the couple agreed.
Friday, Jan. 30 friends and family members joined Louise B. Breeden to celebrate her retirement from the Perkins State Bank Board of Directors at a reception held at the Williston Branch.

BRONSON — All Cindy Camp wants to do is help folks in this town who need food get vouchers to buy fresh produce.
But in order to get the vouchers the town must have a farmers' market where they can be used.
Susan Strickland was helping present the item for Camp at the Feb. 2 Bronson Town Council meeting when they learned no good deed is easily accomplished. She explained that under state Farmers' Market rules everything sold there must be hand made, home made or home grown by the seller.
Staff Report
American Ramp of Joplin, Mo., has won the $92,000 contract to outfit the new skateboard park at Delma Locke Park.
The decision to take the recommendation of the city's skateboarders and the city Recreation Committee came at Monday evening's regular Chiefland City Commission meeting.
The park is being financed as part of a $200,000 state recreation grant to the city. The grant is also funding a basketball court at Strickland Park.
Chiefland boys beat rival Dixie County 67-65 Tuesday to advance to the semifinal round of the Class 3A District 5tournament. They'll play top seed Williston Friday at 7 p.m. in Chiefland. Newberry, winner in their early Tuesday matchup with Fort White, will play P.K. Yonge Friday at 5:30. The winners of Friday's games will meet Saturday at 7 p.m. in the tournament final.
If you love basketball, you love a close game, except on Senior Night – that's the time for a blowout. Friday night, Bronson fans almost got the opposite of their wish, as the visiting Seven Rivers Warriors racked up a gruesome 25-14 halftime lead before finally falling 44-39 to their hosts.
"I told the guys at the half, 'The good news is, we're down by 11 and couldn't play any worse,'" said Eagles' Head Coach Aaron Haldeman.
"Now let's get out there and finish what we started and have a good Senior Night."
Two weeks ago, Dionna Hamilton and Kelsey Russell were among the best players on their Bronson Middle School girls' basketball team. Last Tuesday, they were varsity players trying to hold off third-seeded Trenton in the first round of the district tournament. Bronson lost 62-30 as the six-player team – the remaining four from the original varsity plus Hamilton and Russell – could not fend off a surging Trenton team that has had their number all season.
Chiefland girls made a great run at Newberry in their first round district tournament game, but were rebuffed at the end in a 57-36 elimination loss. Foul trouble was the Lady Indians' biggest problem; with power players Katelyn Allen and Madalyn McCray on the bench along with ballhandler Charlene Davis and defensive star Sharnese Rome, the Panthers were able to take their best shots.

Supply Risk Increasing While the Market Stands Still
From January through March 2007, Aberdeen benchmarked the supply risk measurement and management strategies of over 210 companies. Although 62% of enterprises indicate they expect supply risk to increase in the next 3 years, only 49% of organizations have implemented a supplier performance measurement and risk management program.
As globalization of supply markets continues, it is critical that programs and tools are better aligned to address the continuous ramp-up of exposure to risk instead of relying on practices, tools, and measurements whose incremental value are decreasing.

Juárez: Killing Is Fun
A Charles Bowden essay, with etched artwork by Alice Leora Briggs: "Juárez: Killing Is Fun."
HV/Webwork/Mexico/ Work by: Charles Bowden · Julián Cardona
Exodus/Éxodo is a new book (Amazon) with words by Charles Bowden and photographs by Julián Cardona . Excerpt:
Consider this: you get up at 5 a.m. You live in a one-room shack and pay $59 a month in rent. Your address is on the outskirts of the world's second largest megalopolis, México City. You share this shack with your woman, a niece and your child. At 5:30 a.m. you're on the bus, a ninety-minute ride for $2.45 a day roundtrip. You work in a tortilla shop for $1.64 an hour, eleven hours a day, six days a week. A gallon of milk at the store, the electricity that lights your shack, the fuel running the bus, all these things cost more than in the United States. Basically, everything costs more than in the United States — except labor.
Mexican civilization existed before the American people were even a thought. Americans have come to the game very recently, and like so many new arrivals believe they possess all the answers. At the moment, human beings are moving all over the planet to save their hides. Things have been upended, the moon rises at a strange hour, it is blood red, and dripping with hunger.
Juarez Journalist
HV/Webwork/Mexico/ Work by: Charles Bowden · Julián Cardona · Scott Carrier
[Scott Carrier is working on an HV Hour about the murders in Juárez, Mexico, starting with his NPR series, then moving onto the current much, much worse situation. The following are some emails from Scott…]
Yesterday Armando Rodriguez, the journalist who'd written most of the stories (901) on this year's executions in Juárez Mexico, was himself executed:
Juarez journalist slain
El Pasa Times staff report 11/13/2008
A Juarez journalist known for his work as a crime reporter for El Diario de Juarez was gunned down Thursday morning in front of his home, the newsapaper's Web site reported.
Armando Rodriguez was preparing to take his daughter to school in Juarez when a gunman approached his car and fired several shots at point-blank range, according to accounts provided by the newspaper. Rodriguez reportedly died at the scene.
The assailant then fled to a waiting car carrying other men and sped off in an unknown direction.
Rodriguez was the police beat reporter for El Diario de Juarez and had become an expert on the brutal drug cartel violence that has gripped Juarez for the last several years.
"He was a good person and a good reporter," said KINT-TV (Univision Ch. 26) reporter Pedro Villagrana, who has worked closely with Rodriguez for more than a decade.
Word of Rodriguez' slaying quickly spread throughout the Juarez and El Paso journalism community. Some members of the Juarez media including his colleagues at El Diario de Juarez gathered at the crime scene to mourn his death, according to the newspaper Web site.
Juárez has always been a violent place. No rule of law. People get killed and nobody is arrested, not even an investigation. What's new now is the rate of murders. There are more than 100 executions each month in Juárez, 1300 this year alone. Last year there were about 300.

Bowden on Juárez
"Mexico's Red Days" by Charles Bowden in GQ on the escalating Juárez, Mexico murders:
The killings have the cold feeling of butchery in a slaughterhouse, and they are everywhere: done in broad daylight, on streets, in markets, at homes, and even in Wal-Mart parking lots. Women, children, guilty, innocent—no one is safe.
These are red, endless days.

WASHINGTON, October 7, 2013 — The spiteful practice of making public nude photographs of an ex-romantic partner is now illegal in California. The law, while a good start, does not go far enough, in that it only covers photographs or videos taken by the spurned ex, and not "selfies" (photos you take of yourself).
Perhaps the thinking was that if someone sends an intimate or revealing photo to another, the sender was "asking for it." It is upsetting to imagine that California's legislators would not want to protect victims of nonconsensual pornography.
SEE RELATED: "Sexsomnia," insanity, the 'Weiner gambit' and other excuses
This omission can be fixed. The law as passed is a good start and it is long overdue.
The law is a first step in protecting victims of nonconsensual pornography.
Every state and the federal government should pass laws making this practice illegal.
New Jersey has had an "invasion of privacy" law prohibiting dissemination of private "porn" on its books since 2003. Its law can also be ramped up.
SEE RELATED: Which is more expensive, marriage or divorce?
Florida considered a revenge porn law but it did not become law because of 1st Amendment freedom of speech concerns. They should revisit their effort.
New York and Wisconsin are considering revenge porn laws. Good.
Currently, most victims only have recourse to the civil justice system when their ex does visually expose the most intimate images of the relationship to the world. Victims can file a lawsuit seeking monetary compensation for damages including embarrassment, humiliation, invasion of privacy, and medical bills for mental health care necessitated by the publishing.
Civil claims are often expensive to pursue, and usually result in uncollectible judgments. Further, even if compensation is recovered, money will not make the victims whole. Criminal prosecution and punishment are needed in addition to lawsuits.
SEE RELATED: Crimes of sexual harassment: Mayor Filner not the first, nor last
Volumes have been written about the purpose and effectiveness of criminal laws. We are a society of laws. Laws sustain us and guide us. Laws draw lines. When those lines are crossed there must be consequences. While laws cannot prevent all criminal actions, without the laws society would perish.
Criminal punishment will not be a perfect deterrent to every jerk considering posting photographs of his or her partner to the world. Criminal punishment will not erase the psychological torture a victim suffers, nor will it prevent the suicide of some victims.
Nonetheless, laws must be adopted to address this criminal behavior because one of the goals of criminal laws is deterrence. Consequences can have a connection to behavior. If you know there are no consequences to posting nude photos of your ex on a website, or in sending them to your entire email contacts list, you are more likely to do so than if you know that doing so could land you in jail and paste you as a criminal for life.
Revenge and spiteful behavior are as old as human emotion, and we have seen these evils in places such as elementary schools, where little brats circulate "slam books" that contain negative and nasty comments written about the unpopular or un-liked child or children in the class. Perhaps slam books were the precursor for modern times bullying in our schools that now boldly takes form as taunting, insults, web-site postings, social media postings and physical harm.
Sending nude photographs or videos to the world should subject to the sender to felony prosecution, as should other forms of cyber-bullying. California's law now only subjects the one who pushes the "send" button only to a misdemeanor punishment, with no more than a fine of one thousand dollars and imprisonment of no more than six months for a first offense.
California's law makes the conviction hinge upon "intent to cause serious emotional distress." This is another potential loophole, as the sender could claim that the images were posted for bragging rights or for financial gain. Intent in criminal prosecutions is always a contested element.
In most places the use of a gun during the commission of a felony is a strict liability crime. If you use a gun, you are guilty of using a gun. Period. No "intent" discussion exists about whether you used a gun. California should eliminate the intent language and make distribution the sole issue: if you distribute a nude image or video of someone to the world without their consent, you are guilty.
First Amendment advocates clearly would object. However, they would fail to recognize the rights of the victim.
Revenge porn, the nonconsensual public dissemination of photographs and videos of another, depicted alone or when sharing an intimate sexual moment, is of the highest order of trust being violated, and it should be punished.
When a relationship with another person develops, so does trust. As the relationship progresses, that trust increases. Sometimes things happen. Couples end relationships, or sometimes, one in the relationship calls it over. The ending can be devastating; it can be heart wrenching. But the trust was sacred.
Trust violations rock us. We feel this deeply when we see teachers and school coaches who take advantage of underage students, clergy who molest, or police who criminally advantage their power.
Is it any wonder victims sometimes commit suicide? Crimes that violate our trust need to be punished.
Unfortunately, but understandably, legislators are reluctant to criminalize revenge porn. Porn abounds in our society and on the web. Porn, even if described as "soft," seems commonplace just simply considering the deluge of sexy images flashed in advertisements. Thus it not easy for a legislature to move toward outlawing displays of nudity or sex. Moreover, legislators know that outlawing revenge porn brings up 1st Amendment freedom-of-speech concerns. Revenge porn is different.
Not all speech is protected. Laws can and should be crafted in every state, and federally, that make illegal the nonconsensual dissemination of nude images or videos of others. This is a very simple concept that is easily defined. It should be seriously punished once proven.
Share these thoughts with your elected officials now.

PACER revisited
PACER revisited This paper discusses a modified version of the PACER concept for power and nuclear material production, which changes the working fluid in the cavity from steam to the molten salt, LiF + BeF/sub 2/. In the PACER concept, a 20-kt peaceful nuclear explosion is contained in a cavity about 200 m in diameter, filled with 200 atm of 500/degree/C steam. Energy from the explosion is used to produce power, and the neutrons are used to produce materials such as /sup 233/U, Pu, /sup 60/Co, and T. The present idea is to modify the PACER concept in three ways, to improve the practicality, predictability, and safety of power production from this technology and thus improve public acceptance of this power source. These improvements are line the cavity with steel; replace the steam with molten salt; and reduce the explosive yield to about 2 kt. This concept is the only fusion power concept where the underlying technology is proven and in hand today. 9 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.

The non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone for Major League Baseball, and the Washington Nationals 40-man roster hasn't changed much from yesterday. Things could be worse for the Nats, who have the best record in MLB at the deadline.
The Nats hadn't been seriously tied to anyone significant for a few weeks, and it turns out that GM Mike Rizzo was satisfied with the team on the field and in the dugout. Nats Manager Davey Johnson had publicly stated he was satisfied with the current make up of the team and didn't expect the team to make any big moves.
This week, the Nats should get two significant guys back, and it will be like a huge move was made once they start to contribute. Goon Squad member Chad Tracy has already been activated from the DL and will serve as the Nats go-to pinch hitter in late innings. Tracy was remarkable off the bench until he was sent to the DL a few months back. He hopes to contribute in the same way as the Nats make their playoff push.
Jayson Werth is also due back soon as he finished a rehab stint to recover from his broken left wrist. Werth, the former All-Star and middle of the lineup guy, will provide an additional jolt to the Nats lineup again in right field, and the outfield of Michael Morse, Bryce Harper, and Werth is what many have dreamed of since Harper's call up.
The Nats were in a unique position this year, because they weren't sellers at the deadline. In previous years, contending clubs looked to pick some guys off the Nats roster, but at this point, no one was even asking. This team has come a long way, and the fact that nothing happened from the front office today shows that.
