Silica nanoparticles have been functionalized by click chemistry and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) simultaneously. First, the silanized silica nanoparticles were modified with bromine end group, and then the azide group was grafted onto the surface via covalent coupling. 3-Bromopropyl propiolate was synthesized, and then the synthesized materials were used to react with azide-modified silica nanoparticles via copper-mediated click chemistry and bromine surface-initiated ATRP. Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were performed to characterize the functionalized silica nanoparticles. We investigated the enrichment efficiency of bare silica and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA)-functionalized silica nanoparticles in Pb(II) aqueous solution. The results demonstrated that PEGMA-functionalized silica nanoparticles can enrich Pb(II) more quickly than pristine silica nanoparticles within 1 h.
In recent years, silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have received significant attention due to their chemical inertness, nontoxicity, optical transparency, and excellent thermal stability [1–3], which can be widely used in catalysis [4], chemical process industry [5], removal of metal ions [6], and metal ion preconcentration [7–9] through polymer coatings or other functional groups. For many applications, there are several chemical methods for controlling the nanoparticles' surface functionality, such as chemisorptions [10], sol–gel process, and immobilization of organic molecules by silane coupling reagents [11], which can result in the immobility, mechanical stability, and water insolubility of functionalized SNPs [12]. Polymerization methods involving living free radical nitroxide-mediated polymerization, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT), and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were commonly considered as effective techniques to functionalize materials [13–16]. Especially, the ATRP technique has been developed rapidly due to the advantages of being simple, inexpensive, and more general for controlled radical polymerization when it was firstly proposed by Wang and Matyjaszewsi [17]. There are a greater number of researchers using ATRP to functionalize SNPs [18–22].
With the appearance of the click chemistry proposed by Sharpless [23], the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction also becomes a particularly powerful approach to synthesize designed molecules or modify inorganic materials because only mild reaction conditions are required and the extreme selectivity toward molecules bearing azides and alkynes prevents unwanted side product [24–26]. Recently, some literatures reported that gold nanoparticles, silicon oxides, carbon nanotubes, and other materials were functionalized by click chemistry [27–30].
Based on the advantages of ATRP and click chemistry, the combination of these two methods has attracted attention to functionalize nanomaterials. Ranjan and Brittain [31] successfully grafted polymer chains onto SNPs through a combination of RAFT polymerization and click chemistry. Wang and co-workers [32] utilized ATRP and click chemistry to modify particles. Polystyrene brushes were firstly introduced on the surface via ATRP, and then the click reaction was generated on the surface of polymerized SNPs. The combination of surface-initiated ATRP and Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition [33, 34] was also developed as a versatile method for the functionalizations of SNPs. Most of the literatures reported the combination of ATRP and click chemistry to modify nanomaterials in tandem.
3-Bromopropanoic acid and propargyl acid were obtained from Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA, USA). Poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA), 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), 4-dimethylaminopyridime (DMAP), and sodium azide (NaN3) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (St. Louis, MO, USA). 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was purchased from Dow Corning Corporation (Midland, MI, USA). CuBr and 3-bromo-1-propanol were obtained from Shanghai Jingchun Reagent Co., Ltd. (Aladdin; Shanghai, China). Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 2,2′-bypiridine (Bpy) were purchased from Tianjin Chemical Reagent Co. Ltd. (Tianjin, China).
3-Bromo-1-propanol (3 ml, 33 mmol), DCC (5 g, 25.5 mmol), and DMAP (0.6 g, 5.04 mmol) were dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane (DCM), then propargyl acid (4.5 ml, 42 mmol) was added into the solution slowly. The mixture was stirred at room temperature in a dark room for 24 h, diluted with DCM, filtered off, and washed with DCM until white particles were observed. Then, the liquid was evaporated completely using a rotary evaporator. The products were dried in a clean vacuum at 50°C overnight.
The spherical silica particles were prepared from TEOS using NH3·H2O as catalyst according to the Stöber method [35]. Then, 65 ml of ethanol, 3 ml of deionized water, and 10 ml of NH3·H2O (25%) were added into a flask with violent stirring at 40°C for 2 h; 5 ml of TEOS was added into the above solution dropwise. The mixture was kept at 40°C with stirring overnight. After the reaction, the mixture was separated by centrifugation and the white particles were washed with water, ethanol, and toluene, respectively. Then, the silica particles were dispersed in 50 ml of toluene by ultrasonication to produce a homogeneous suspension.
The surface of SiO2 has functioned as an amino group by a silanization reaction according to a previous report. Namely, the prepared SiO2 homogeneous suspension was put into a 100-ml round flask, and APTES (5.3 ml, 23 mmol) was added using a syringe. The reaction mixture was refluxed at 95°C in oil bath with stirring for 10 h. The obtained amino group-immobilized silica particles, defined as SiO2-NH2, were collected by centrifugation and washed with ethanol (2 × 50 ml) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF; 2 × 50 ml) in turn, then dispersed in 50 ml of DMF to immobilize the azide group.
3-Bromopropionic acid (2.8 g, 18.4 mmol), NHS (2.4 g, 7 mmol), and EDC (4 g, 22.3 mmol) were added to the SiO2-NH2 and DMF solution with stirring and protected from light at 80°C under N2. After 24 h, 3 g of NaN3 was added into the above system for 24 h. Then, particles called SiO2-N3 were collected by centrifugation and washed with water and DMF.
The reaction involved in click reaction and atom transfer radical polymerization was described as follows: The prepared azide-modified SiO2 and 3-bromopropyl propiolate were dispersed in 50 ml of DMF, then CuBr (43 mg, 0.3 mmol), Bpy ligand (90 mg, 0.6 mmol), and PEGMA (10 ml, 30 mmol) were added quickly; the reaction was stirred at 80°C under N2 for 24 h. After the reaction, the grafted PEGMA silica particles were collected by centrifugation, referred as SiO2-PEGMA; the product was washed with DCM at least three times to remove the excess reactant, then washed with ethanol and deionized water, and dried in a clean vacuum oven at 50°C overnight.
Sensing of Pb2+ experiments were carried out by the following steps: a 10 ml portion of the aqueous sample solution, containing 100 mg/l Pb2+, was prepared, and the pH value was adjusted to 6 with aqueous HCl. Then, 50 mg of SiO2 nanoparticles and SiO2-PEGMA were dispersed in eight portions of the above solution with an ultrasonic oscillator, and the solutions were stewed for 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 h, respectively. The particles were separated by centrifugation. The supernatant was detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).
Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were obtained using a Spectrum One FT-IR spectrometer (IR Prestige-21, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) with a resolution of 4 cm−1. To characterize the layers formed on the surface of the nanoparticle, the powder was milled with KBr, and the mixture was pressed into a disk for analysis. The morphology and size of SNPs were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with a JEOL 200CX (Akishima-shi, Japan). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed on a PHI 5500 electron spectrometer (Physical Electronics, Inc., Chanhassen, MN, USA) using 200-W Mg radiations. The binding energies were referenced to the C 1s line at 284.8 eV from adventitious carbon. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out using a Netzsch STA449 F3 thermogravimetric instrument (Wolverhampton, UK) at a heating rate of 10°C/min under a flow of nitrogen. AAS was carried out using an AA-6800 instrument (Shimadzu Corporation).
After introducing amino groups onto silica surfaces, the ATRP initiator was successfully immobilized via click chemistry while poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate chain-modified SNPs were obtained. This method takes advantage of click chemistry to optimize ATRP, which we have offered as a versatile pathway to functionalize SNPs. It will develop a series of desired functional groups and also extend this current different functional polymer chains which have potential application in the fabrication of SNP-based nanocomposites. Aside from the applications that require the enrichment of lead, because of the diversity and controllable ability of functional molecules on the surface of SNPs, efforts in our group are being made to extend current work to applications in selective removal of heavy metal ions such as Hg(II), Cu(II), As(III), and Cd(II).

Twitchy by katproductions6Watch
©2014-2016 katproductions6
I thought you all were getting sick of dragons, so I decided to mix things up a bit with a rough sketch of the current lineup for 'Twitch Plays Pokemon', which is currently stuck pondering its existence in front of the Pokemon center in Saffron City for about the fifth hour in a row. I think this is the fastest I have ever snubbed something and then gotten into it, as now I can't pull my face away from the computer screen to see what happens next. I think I have learned more about the development of a thriving civilization, complete with its own religion and government, in the past 12 hours than I have ever learned in any history class... Here's to hoping they make it through!
Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and Game Freak, not me.
Twitch logo belongs to Twitch.tv
I will most definitely scrap later.

text: Kinda linked to my other post but here are some pictures of the front feet. The pictures may or may not be very good, I don't know. What I do know is that I tried the barefoot method and it worked out great for the back feet. I thought the front feet were coming around slowly but surely but I guess not. The horse is 11 years old, well broke and had shoes when I bought him. I would assume he had shoes since he was young. Anyway he is still lame or not sound when I try to ride him barefoot. I have been working with the horse with a trainer and he has told me 3 or 4 times that I will have to put shoes back on him, at least on the front. I am going to put shoes on him but I am wondering what you guys are seeing in the pictures? Is that a normal barefoot trim? Also for whoever does the shoeing, is he going to need anything special or just a standard shoeing?

Making a Scene
Byline: By DAVID WILLIAMSON Western Mail
Mark Cousins is one of the most respected film journalists in the world. Here, he talks to David Williamson about his latest ventuIF MARK Cousins had dedicated his life to selling Russian encyclopedias door-to-door, bookshelves in most homes across Britain would be bending under the weight of such volumes.
Instead, he has spent thousands of hours enthusing, arguing, writing, and rejoicing about the world's finest films.
His Scene-by-Scene television series revolutionised the way cinema could be talked about on the small screen. It shunned both the showbiz vacuity of Parkinson and the elitism of Newsnight Review.
Each programme consisted of Cousins sitting with a cinematic legend such as Steven Spielberg or Jack Lemmon, watching classic scenes and talking about their significance.
Scene-by-Scene ran for five years, but during this time Cousins developed a passion for cinema which had origins outside Pinewood and the Hollywood Strip. He complained there was no accessible, single-volume history of world cinema for intelligent readers and was then challenged to write one.
The Story of Film is already a bestseller, and charts, with eloquent excitement, the first century of one of humankind's noisiest and most colourful art forms.
He told the Western Mail, 'This is the first time when every continent has been making interesting work.'
Rather than rolling in fashionable pessimism about the death of celluloid and the rise of digital film-making, Cousins can see evidence of a new golden age everywhere he looks. The young 'Mozarts' of the film-making world can now shoot and edit movies which are constrained only by the limits of their imagination and talent.
He said, 'I think digital is simply a way of lowering the entry barriers to cinema. [Previously,] if you were born in Cardiff with a great talent you could grow to your grave without expressing it.
'It means there'll be lots of rubbish made but it means the new Truffaut has a better chance of getting out there.'
Finding the auteurs of the 21st century is a quest and an adventure for the Northern Irish critic. He recently drove from Edinburgh to India to explore the cultures which have given birth to some of his favourite directors.
'I bought an old camper van,' he said. 'It was the best thing I've done in my life.
'I drove through Iran and discovered a world unbelievably different from the CNN vision. The women are big and bold and all over the place, smoking big cigars.'
One of the youngest but strongest talents in world cinema today is the Iranian director Samira Makhmalbaf who made her brilliant debut at the age of 18 with The Apple (1998).
Cousins noted, 'While in America the proportion of women directors is 3%, in Iran it's something like 35%.'
One possible reason for the freshness of cinematic visions coming from a land famed for fundamentalism was, he suggested, 'Iranian film-makers since the revolution haven't seen that much American cinema'.
Comments such as this shouldn't be taken as an indication of snobbery. He is like a cheese connoisseur with an evangelical zeal to convince the world there are tastes beyond cheddar.
He is thrilled that Zhang Yimou's Hero can top the US box office, proving that great films can play in a multiplex.
A further reason for his optimism is the completely unprecedented explosion of interest in one of his favourite genres, the documentary. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 broke box office records around the world and Kevin Macdonald's Touching the Void proved non-fiction could be just as epic as a blockbuster.
He said, 'I'm very lucky to be living in a time when mainstream audiences are paying to see documentaries. …

Mario will get ran over by ZeldaFreak108Watch
©2003-2016 ZeldaFreak108
Mario looks kinda weird next to the kart people because the karts in mario kart 64 are all pre-rendered sprites, not all people understand what that means, but that's okay.
mario: YOUR TOO SLOW *sonic runs past and sticks his middle finger up at mario and runs off*
Run bitch, run! .
Mario: OH SHI-!!!!
run mario run or else you die.
this is awesome. I liked how you were able to make it believable.
XD run Mario run!
lol Luigi's time to shine. And He brought Yoshi and DK to enjoy the fun.
hahaha! great job! so, what did Mario say/do?
Yeah it does look kinda weird...but I lovethe concept! Maybe if his legs weren't so short then he would have a better chance lol
ha ha ha!!!!!!!! funny.........
brilliant work! Mario getting chased by Luigi,Yoshi and D.K.!
brilliant work! Mario getting chased by Luigi,Yoshi and D.K.!
marios is roadkill
marios is roadkill
This is funny XD, I love it.
There are spaces between the karts just wide enough for Mario to turn around and run through.
Mario: So long, suckers!
Other racers quickly do a U-turn.
Mario: Me and my big mouth.
Mario: So long, suckers!
Other racers quickly do a U-turn.
Mario: Me and my big mouth.
Run like hell Mario run!
Maybe u could try doing Mario running down and them followin. . nah nevermind never work. still look kinda weird if did that, but nice pic!
Where's the wing hat when you need it?
Run!! Mario!!
How did you get 176 stars?
I think I had a certain number of stars, then put on a "Have 120 stars" gameshark code, but instead of setting the number of stars to 120 it just added 120 to what I had I guess. ...I just realized something, I think he's running in the wrong direction, technically the racers are going the wrong way. I guess they went out of their way to run over mario
That Mario is Polygons,
I remember when me and my friends used to go off course for that castle XD
Brought back memories
I remember when me and my friends used to go off course for that castle XD

Hahaha! That is awesome. I always loved going down to the castle on that course. ^^
HEY!.................Nice screename................0_o
This is just so dang funny. You did a great job emulating the sprites.
And Mario has 175 stars? O.o.
And Mario has 175 stars? O.o.
It's a gameshark code. Origionally, 180 stars were planned for the game, but it had to be cut short.
176, actually.
Maybe it's Mario 64 DS...?
Yes, I know the graphics are updated in that version. But I'm just saying...
Yes, I know the graphics are updated in that version. But I'm just saying...
I like it.. .you using an emulator for these? If so, a suggestion... steal a cap of the mario 64 castle for the background [or the smashbrosmeelee one if you could] and use the mario kart thing for the foreground.. with the difference in detail, true fans will wonder how you did it and commend you on tha job!
Jump Mario! Jump! That's a good way in a strange of design.

I was looking for a vegan lipsticks and I stumbled into the Red Apple. I am very happy that I finally find a reliable vegan lipstick source.

On me, Love My Kiss is more pink than red, but I love it anyway! I can enhance the redness by using the Brick or Almost Red lip liners, if I want to go that way. The consistency is smooth and very moisturizing.
Posted by Jennifer on 14th Mar 2013
This is a great color for work or day -- just bright enough to be noticed. It looks especially good with a sheer red gloss over it. The color lasts a very long time, and even when it fades it does so in a pretty way.

I received my first order of lipstick and eyeshadow today and all I can say is... WOW! OMG! and maybe even Holy Cow!!!
Posted by Linda R. on 13th Mar 2013
I just received my lipstick a few days ago. The lipstick (Love My Kiss) is such a rich color--exactly like the online color sample. I love using it--it goes on smoothly and is really soft on my lips. It stays on well and the scent is delightful. I plan on ordering another color and a gloss lipstick. Love the packaging. I am definitely telling my friends and family. I do like the idea of including a sample of another color offered as it gives me a chance to try another shade. Thanks for such a good product! Linda R.

First of all, since my daughter (14) is a newly dx Celiac¹s girl, we were excited to try your products! Her grandmother has Celiac Disease as well, so we ordered and are trying some fun shades! We actually received multiple shades and took advantage of your ³try one free². Thank you for offering such an incentive, especially for us newbies! We ordered 2 Rallye Balms and just LOVE! I couldn¹t keep lip balm on her, EVER! It¹s only been a few days, but I find I¹m not having to remind her as often. Hoping once she comes to enjoy the smoothness that she¹s been missing, I won¹t have to any more. The Celiac chapped lips for her are horrible! Needless, between the two, we ordered Love My Kiss, Secrets, Pink Martini, Mauve Me, Petal Pusher, Boys N Berries, and Metropolis Gloss. Whew. Well, we¹ve heard great things,and we needed to restock some COLOR!
We were very happy to hear the great reviews and try ourselves!
Thanks again for the great offer! The packaging was too cute for her to open, too. My mom thought the same.
Keep up the great work, and we¹ll definitely be watching for Œnew¹ stuff!
Have a great day~

Buying a house is the biggest financial decision that most people ever make. Homeownership isn't always easy, but most buyers are responsible.
The few who aren't should pay for their own mistakes. Government shouldn't bail them out, as Gov. Deval Patrick wants to do. He certainly shouldn't be able to do so on his own authority, without legislative review.
It was long difficult to get a mortgage if you had bad credit. But that changed in the last few years.
A new market in "subprime" lending developed. As housing prices rocketed upward, banks were willing to provide mortgages to even marginal borrowers since the home could always be refinanced or sold, if necessary. Some people bought who should have rented, or bought bigger houses than they normally could afford.
Investors looking for a little extra return poured money into subprime mortgages, many of which were bundled together into "collateralized debt obligations." Some $320 billion worth of CDOs were issued last year alone, and were snapped up by mutual and hedge funds alike.
The slowdown in real estate prices has brought the party to a sharp halt. People are poor credit risks for a reason, and many have been defaulting on their mortgages. Homes are being foreclosed, lenders are going under, and investors are losing money.
It's the way that capitalism is supposed to work. Taking a risk means accepting a chance that things will go bad, and paying the price if they do. The process is painful, but it forces everyone to be more careful before buying a home, making a loan, or investing money.
Unfortunately, Gov. Patrick plans on short-circuiting this important adjustment process. Every elected official is tempted to save people from themselves. But doing so is likely to create more harm and hurt more people over the long-term.
Home foreclosures, loan defaults, and investment losses are national phenomena, but Gov. Patrick is proposing a $250 million fund to bail out Massachusetts borrowers in danger of losing their homes. The state would provide new loans to bad credit risks. Unlike the first mortgage, when investors voluntarily risked their money, taxpayers would have no choice about getting into the costly subprime market.
Gov. Patrick points to endangered homeowners, with whom we all naturally sympathize, but his proposal would bail out everyone, including lenders and investors. Yet these sophisticated businessmen knowingly accepted the extra risk in order to collect a higher profit.
Ray Haynes served in the California Legislature from 1992-2006 as a Senator and Assemblyman, and was the National Chair of the American Legislative Exchange Council in 2000.

Hey all, the doc I originally wrote about 1935 errors does not do a very good job of providing details about root causes of many of the possible HRESULT values that I list (thank you to Carolyn on the Windows Installer team for pointing this out). So, as I get some time, I'm going to try to go through the ones I know of and provide more detailed examples of when I've seen them happen in my experience. I wanted to start by linking to a really good overview that Alan Shi on the Fusion team wrote about a few of the HRESULTs that can possibly be returned by Fusion - check it out here.
<update date="1/15/2006"> Unfortunately, it appears that the link to Alan's list of Fusion error codes no longer works. I was able to find a knowledge base article describing the GAC APIs available in the .NET Framework, but I could not find a detailed reference to Fusion error codes. I will try to get a list put together and posted in the near future. </update>

"Donburi" is a Japanese word describing meals consisting of stuff on top of rice. There's many different variations and this place covers a lot of ground. There's the cooked chicken, beef and egg on rice, and there's the raw salmon, tuna on sushi rice. I tried the Tuna/green onion on sushi rice and it was great. Beer was cold. They have community jars of pickled radish so help yourself. The girl cashier and other employees are smiling and polite (so tip them well). The space only seats about a dozen but it's clean and bright. How they manage to pay Robson Street rent is a mystery but they have two other restaurants (another on the South end of Robson called Ebi-Ten).
Happened to notice the sign driving by one day so finally visited the place. Full of young people and ethnic music and videos blaring at 9:30pm. Order the standard hookah ($12) which for those not familiar, it's a 2 foot high water pipe with a hose you inhale the smoke. It's not like smoking cigarettes or the other stuff....it's smooth and cool and very tasty. There's a choice of a dozen or so flavours to chose from. Open late (1AM) on weekdays and really late (3AM) on weekends.
This used to be the site of Toratatsu Izakaya which was a great restaurant already but the Guu chain took it over, revamped the entire narrow suite and renamed it "Kobachi". The servers were great and speak both japanese and english well. The food was the usual great Guu style. They have a whole page of $3.80 tapas dishes. The manager was very very appreciative of all the customers coming and going. Parking is usually street metered on Alberni or Robson.
First thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant is which is definitely a good sign. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was respectable; we ordered the usual Butter chicken, Biryani, naans, etc and it was all good. This was our first time and we'll probably go back as I can't think of anything negative except acoustics in the room allow you to hear every conversation at the other tables. Parking on Hastings is easy except during rush hour (no parking).
A tip from a good Japanese friend led me to this place for lunch today. I didn't ffel like sushi but they had lots of noodle dishes on the website menu so I tried the cold udon with Kimchi, Natto and Daikon Oroshi ($6.50). First time I've ever had cold udon; it was so tasty and a real nice change from the usual hot soup. Perfect for a summer day. I was checking out other people's orders and they all looked good. They also have lots of side dishes for cheap. Only gripe is there's limited seating - only tables for two people. the whole place is only about 8' wide so can't do much about that. I guess you could stand outside and eat on the sidewalk. Anyways, I'll be back but I wish these guys would open up a location near Broadway & Cambie because there are no good Japanese places there!!
Two of us sat down on a sunny Saturday afternoon on the six-table patio. For us, the service was fine, the food was decent Oyako donbori and a fish special. But watching around us, we saw two parties sit down at a table next to us and leave because the service was so slow. Another two tables on the patio had ordered but was left wondering when the food was coming; these two parties actually started talking to each other about the slow service. I feel bad for the server as he was friendly, polite and was serving us ok but was probably overloaded with too many tables to attend to. The place wasn't that busy but I guess it was understaffed that day. They should have been prepared for the business because there was lots of activity on Granville street and lots of people kept coming into the restaurant. This place has tons of potential...
Our family of four needed to find a good Japanese restaurant near Coquitlam Centre for a pre-shopping dinner. I searched for "japanese" on Google Map and Matoi Sushi came up. I never heard of this place so I checked the menu on their website (which by the way, is a little challenging on a smart phone as the font is soo small.) They have Natto Rolls which is a sure sign that the place is a "real japanese" establishment. I called to reserve a table and we were there in 45 minutes. We drove in from Burnaby so we were on Lougheed Hwy but had no idea which side of the road it was on; one error here and you'll be driving all over the place to correct your mistake. Luckily the lady who took my reservation made the effort to say it was across from the White Spot. So it's on the North side of Lougheed just east of Pinetree, in one of those strip malls. Lots of free parking. They sat us down in a tatami room. The decor is simple and nice. Restaurant looks clean. The menu is big.
Almost everything we ordered is under $5. Gyoza, Ebi Sunomono, Agedashi Tofu, BBQ Saba, etc. The Ika Natto roll was excellent and the first time I've seen this on a menu anywhere. The servers were friendly and effecient. The total bill including a large sake came in under $55. Not bad!
We thought Fuji was the only choice for good japanese food north of Burnaby but now we found another. We'll be back.
We are regulars at Gyoza King on Robson so when we heard about this place in Burnaby, we were excited. It's not as casual as G-King but nice and dark with cool japanese ambience. The menu is different than G-King but just as unique. The prices are decent too. The portions are small so don't expect to fill up on a couple of dishes; This is izakaya-style which means lots of small dishes to go with your drinks. I guess they'll get a lot of the Casino patrons since it's right next door. There's also a Chinese Seafood place next door. We will still head down to Robson street because there's lots of other things to do after dinner on Robson but when we want good japanese food that's not boring California Rolls, we will come here.
I heard about Cork & Fin in Vancouver Mag and decided to check it out. It's on Carall St in the rough (but improving) neighborhood off Gastown. Looks cool from the outside and even better inside with the big glass frontage and the mezzanine. The four of us started with the small Seafood Tower which has mussels, clams, shrimp and raw oysters ($33). The clams were great and they should offer a separate clam dish. The oysters were nice sized but just ok tasting. We had a number of other dishes too which were all good. Drink and wine menu is good. The room has a cool character feel to it and service was excellent. Great place to hang out before a hockey game (within walking distance to Rogers Centre) or a romantic dinner for two.
Nice to see another good cheap place in East Van. The ambiance is very cool and dark; they used the proper lighting (ie: no flourecent lights) and nice bamboo theme. Service was friendly and efficient. Menu is huge and food was good; nothing too unique but that's a good thing; comfort food the way it's supposed to taste. Prices were nearly half of those westside/downtown izakaya places. easy parking on street. reservations accepted. We'll be back.
I ignored this place for a long time just because it had the word "teriyaki" in it; it just didn't sound authentic to me. But I've learned not to judge the book by it's cover. A foodie friend told me to check it out for good cheap japanese meals. The "ambiance" if you want to call it that, is simple: kind of mom & pop with a bunch of japanese memorabilia on the walls. Fairly clean considering the building is quite old. Easy parking on the street after rush hour. The owner/chef is a guy who has been in the restaurant business forever; years ago he had a place with the same name on Commercial near Broadway.
So the reason we come here is the food is delicious and very reasonable. Reminds me of the food you get when you stay in a ryokan or minshuku (little hotels in Japan); simple, smaller portions. Try the "set" dinners which come with a small bowl of Udon (sooo good). The teriyaki, which I never order anywhere else because it's usually very boring, is sweet but not too sweet; so you still taste the meat. I guess there's an art to making teriyaki afterall.
There's only about 7 tables but we've never had to wait in in all the times we've been there. Seems there's a steady loyal clientel as we see the same patrons there when we go.
I hope this place doesn't get too popular.
Had dinner here with three friends the other night. I was pleasantly suprised about how good everything was since a foodie friend had told me to skip this place a few months back. So I guess my expectations were low but it felt good as soon as I walked in. The servers were attentative and friendly, always checking up on us and making suggestions. We had five or 6 dishes including the fried rice, squid, pork stuffed buns, chinese greens and they were all tasty, good sized and beautifully presented. The beverages and dessert was also good. Decor is cool retro Chinatown (all authentic I'm sure). Kind of like a Chinese version of an izakaya. Easy street parking outside. The place filled up by 6pm. Total bill for four of us including about two drinks each and not incl tip was around $140. We'll be back.
We happened to be out this far west so decided to check out Takumi but it's a very remote location so I can't see us going regularly. I'm sure it's good for the operators as there's probably not a lot of competition around.
The food prices seemed a little higher than the standard (ie: small 200ml sake for $8; bowl of rice $2) and some of the nigiri seemed expensive. The food quality was good but not amazing. Ambience was very nice across the street from the Marina. Service from the japanese owner/operator was attentative and friendly.
We drove all the way from Burnaby to check this place out after reading the great review on Chow Times http://chowtimes.com/2010/05/27/nine-dishes-on-960-kingsway-vancouver/
Located on the boring part of Kingsway between Fraser and Knight Street, we got there around 6:30 on a Monday night. The owner "If" sat us down at a table and brought us the four menus which have nine dishes each (get it?). I heard of the .99 skewers so we ordered a few of each. I was expecting them to taste like the Tropika skewers or japanese yakitori but they didn't have that taste; they we kind of bland. Fortunately, this was the only letdown.
We also ordered the Tofu Pudding with Meat Sauce ($5.99) a spicy vinagary dish with soft tofu, green onions and chopped up chinese pickles. This was super tasty and I ended up dipping everything else in the sauce.
We also had the Deep Fried Lotus Root with Minced Meat ($3.99), four crunchy creations with some minced pork (I think) sandwiched inside. Nice texture and taste (not spicy).
Another tofu/cilantro dish was ordered; this one was kind of cold but spicy. It was great on top of rice. Rice, by the way, is free and self serve; so is the tea. A nice change from the usual.
We order the non-spicy Won Ton soup which had seaweed in the soup and was very good.
Total bill came to $30 and we were stuffed and happy. Service was slow but friendly. If you don't mind getting up for rice and tea refills, then you'll be okay. The place had filled up within the hour we were there. Word is getting around on this gem.
Only ate here twice and both times ordered just the Tom Yum soup and side of rice. Both times the soup was tasty and how I expect it to be. The rice was nicely steamed. I'll go back and try some more dishes. Service was friendly. The place is semi clean but could use an update.
I've eaten here 3 times now and always the same....it's Great! I've always ordered the Smoked Meat Sandwich at $5 and have to say it's better than the Montreal Smoked Beef shop down the street from me. The meat is warm and tender and the bun are those triangular ones they sell at Costco. It comes with a huge pickle (also available foe sale in bulk) and unlimited sauerkraut and peppers from the condiments station. We've also had the hotdog, chicken nuggets and fries and they were all fresh and good too. The ambiance is... well......it's Costco so don't try to impress your date.
Ok, if you haven't been to the "Villa" hotel in a while, you will be in for a shock....the entire complex is unrecognizable from the old Villa Hotel. You'll first notice the fountains, palm trees and high ceilings ala Vegas. The restaurant is adjacent to the Casino but very calm & quiet. The ambience is very 1970's style with a contemporary feel. There was a talented one-man band playing in the deserted lounge when we walked in. Too bad because the guy was good and even took the time to talk to us for a while. The four of us had some cocktails and wine to start. Both servers were extremely polite and attentative. There were only about 5 tables occupied. The starters of salads and kalamari were decent; kind of like Earls. The main courses were presented nicely and completely explained in detail by the server. They tasted decent but not unforgettable; pretty much what you can get at most popular restaurants. We had a nice booth but there were other tables where you wouldn't get much privacy as they were too close together. We'll probably go back to sit in the lounge and listen to the "band" one day.
btw: the casino is kinda cool with lots of action but I just can't get into gambling unless I'm in Vegas.
Four of us decided to check it out. The place is small! people on the other side of the room could hear our conversation loud & clear. Two of us were kinda sitting in the "kitchen" but that's ok, it's still a cool joint. There's a huge garage door-style window that looks out into Blood Alley and the interesting activities out there. The service was great and attentative but then again, there were almost as many staff as patrons.
Now the food & drink...Sangria @ $6 tasted nice but was in a tiny tiny glass. Jasmine tea @$4 (for tea?). We had sablefish, potted prawns, beet salad, Lamb Cheek, Pickled peppers, etc.. pretty much most things on the menu. The beets were good but portions small. My biggest gripe was the Trio of Salami at $26!! which was four razor-thin slices of three or four different salamis. I'm sorry but for $26 that's sad.
Total bill with two alcoholic drinks was north of $170 not incl tip. 10 people could eat & drink at the Irish Heather for that.
We've been here a couple of times and the first thing you notice when you walk in is the lack of tables (there's only two table for a total of six seats) and a small sushi bar. It's a husband and wife operation. There seems to be mostly takeout, but we eat in. My daughter likes it because it reminds her of going to Grandma's because the lady is very attentive and kind.
The food selection is not huge compared to other small restaurants but quite big considering there's probably no one in the back kitchen. They had a list of daily specials. We had Teriyaki chicken bowl, Chirashi, a special mushroom dish, miso soup, sake, a spicy scallop roll and other rolls. Portions are small but tastes good (better than big and bland, eh?)
We've checked out other japanese restaurants in the area and this is the only japanese-owned as far as I know.
Support your local sushi place.
I stumbled across this place by accident. Saw the words "congee" on their sign so stopped by. There's no decor, no style, no ambiance, service without a smile and they take cash only. But if you can get over those, the food is good. I usually drop by when the staff are eating their dinner around the table at 9 o'clock; I wish they'd ask me to join them as it looks good and I'll never know what they're eating. But instead I order noodle soup or friend rice or gailan and those are always good. There's probably a few other as-good chinese resataurant in the area but I like this place. Apparently there's another place with the same name on Kingsway; not sure if they're related.

Once you go mechanical, you'll never go membrane again.
I like to think of myself as a keyboard enthusiast, though you're free to call me a typing snob if you wish. Either way, I view typing on a membrane keyboard a second-rate experience that pales in comparison to the sweet sensation (and, depending on the key switch, audible clicks) of a mechanical plank. So, I'm more than a little intrigued with Razer's Orbweaver mechanical gaming keypad.
Keypads aren't really my cup of tea, but for those that use them, I imagine the use of mechanical key switches levels up the experience the way it does a traditional keyboard. According to Razer, only 50g of force is required to trigger each key.
In addition to mechanical keys, the Orbweaver allows gamers to bind an "infinite number" of controls to 20 keys. There's also a programmable eight-way directional thumb-pad, which can be used for movement or as a modifier for "endless combinations."
"The Razer Orbweaver is the ultimate gauntlet of game control," said Min-Liang Tan , Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "The feeling of having every command at hand to destroy the competition in so many different ways is just sublime, and the tactile feedback and fast key actuation from the mechanical key architecture gives you a feeling of satisfaction and an added edge in the games you play."
The Orbweaver is available to order now direct from Razer for $130, so it's a bit on the pricey side. That said, here's a question for you gamepad users: Are you interested in mechanical key switches on a gamepad?
