The United States on Friday denied that it threatened to sever diplomatic ties with Pakistan if its citizen Raymond Davis, involved in the killing of two Pakistanis last month in Lahore, was not released.
A report by ABC News claimed that President Obama's National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon summoned Ambassador Hussain Haqqani to the White House last Monday, and warned him about the consequences of not releasing the detained US official.
According to the report, Donilon told Haqqani that the US will expel him from Washington, close its consulates in Pakistan, and cancel an upcoming visit by President Zardari to Washington if Davis is not released by Friday.
However, a statement issued by the US embassy in Pakistan denied the report, though it did confirm that a 'private diplomatic meeting' took place between Haqqani and Donilon.
"Although we are unable to discuss the substance of a private diplomatic meeting, the US embassy, Islamabad, can state categorically that the description of the conversation in this report is simply inaccurate," said a brief statement issued by the embassy's acting spokesperson Courtney Beale.
Ambassador Haqqani, via a Twitter post, also contradicted the news item that any "US official, including the NSA, has conveyed any personal threats to me or spoken of extreme measures."
Meanwhile Reuters reported the controversy has placed a trilateral meeting scheduled this month between Pakistani, Afghan and US officials in Washington in jeopardy.
While the Afghan embassy in Washington and the US State Department said preparations for the gathering are underway, a Pakistani diplomatic source said no decision had been made whether the meeting would go ahead or not. One Afghan minister also said his plans to travel to the US for the meeting were now in doubt.

Actually I think it wouldn't be bad if he gets bootedRecommend
Kick him out! Release Davis or else!
Its time up!Recommend
people of pakistan seriously wish the USA does everything mentioned in this news report.. that will be the single biggest favor it will do to pak since 1947.Recommend
Howsoever, the Embassy or the High Commissioner may deny, Pakistan, though unfortunately, has lost sovereignity and self respect in the comity of nations, and, it has itself to blame. It has adopted denial as an instrument of sate policy as a result it has lost the confidence and trust of not only its own people, but other nations as well. It has become a tool in the hands of foreign powers to promote their ends in return for easy money as a result, it has become a nation surviving on aid than on hard work of its own people.The value system has denigrated to its lowest ebb.Islam, which could have been a source of inspiration, righteousness, and good conduct has come to become an instrument of terrorism, killing, masacres, conflicts, demonstrations and destructions.It is in pakistan's interest to come to term with USA and regain its lost glory and maintain its independent character.Recommend
Don't worry US, Mr. Zardari will definetly take steps to snsure his trip to US. Recommend
Lets see what wins."Gairat" or "Dollar"..Recommend
$ it is baby…Recommend
@ brbajaj
Actually, the dollar-loving corrupt politicians have brought Pakistan to this state. Recommend
USA by doing so could help kick start a revolution in Pakistan. Its a tinderbox anyway and just needs a spark. We could then proudly join hands with the Tunisians and Egyptians and whereever else people are standing up for their rights. Recommend

What a fall from grace!Recommend
Can they do it to an American national that's Mr. Haqqani?Recommend
probably inflation will jump to 5000% if pak aid stopped…better invest in land or gold.Recommend
As a starter, US should stop buying our low quality exports; about 25% of our exports go to US. And if EU joins in, then its over 50%. Recommend
It was Haqqani who recommended Raymond Davis's visa; visit visa on diplomatic passport.Recommend
All American money is misused & never spent for the causes it is meant for. A big portion is spent on purchase of arms to be used against India or over Pakistan's nuclear ambitions and about 30% lines the pockets of top Army brass & politicians. Poorly-paid soldiers are sent to battlefield to lay down their lives.
If Pakistan's military or political leaders were clean, how could they afford to live in UK or USA in 'exile'?
It's time Pakistani people woke up to reality & make friendship with their natural brother India.Recommend
hahaha Well US of A should get ready to run from Afghanistan with it's tail between it's legs. Pakistanis get this War on terror to end, tell the army guys "live to fight another day".things will be fine.Concentrate on your economy build some Industrial Giants like China, which will 2 decades.In 2 decades times China will the sole super power.World will be your playground. Recommend
This is too good to be true!
Americans will be doing Pakistanis a huge favour by kicking this poltical appointee out.
He has never behaved like Pakistan's ambassador; he behaves more llike US's ambassador.
As far as Davis is concerened, Americans must relaslise that this not Musharaf's Paksitan. There is a different political party in Punjab, a different party at the centre and a free and independent judiciary, a free press, etc.
Americans cannot go about bludering around the way they have been doing, especially in case where the accused has claimed on recorded video that he is just consultant workign at the counsulate. Recommend
awesome waiting 4 this day …coz wen they close counslates they will also have to take these terrorists wid dem lyk raymond davis…and this will bring peace ….Recommend
One citizen. Relations between two of the most important countries on war-on-terror at stake. US going to such an extreme for this guy is evidence in itself that there is something wrong. Something fishy!!! After all there are three hikers on trial in Iran and not much word about it in the news.Recommend
I agree with Mr B R Bajaj. Most of the dole from USA is misused & about 30% of it lines the pockets of the ruling Military Brass or politicians in power. That is how these rulers can afford their 'self-imposed' exiles & enjoy themselves.
I hope Pakistani Press becomes courageous enough to bare this corruption that makes US popular amongst the politicians & military, but hated by the Pakistani population.
The Press also should nudge the Pakistani public opinion for a friendly relation with India who is their natural brother.Recommend
Davis is NOT a "diplomat" by any defintion.
He has himeself admitted to being a consultant, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8316093/American…
US needs to realise that it dealing with a a differnt goverment in Punjab, a different govermen at the Centre , an independent and free judiciary, a free press.
Amercia needs to accept deomocracy and independence of istitutions in other contries. They don't have Musharraf as a pushover to do their bidding. Recommend
Let them fight each other its benefit for India. Let see How much "Takat" In Pakistan. USA also came to know that If u make friendship with Bad National than what price u have to pay.Recommend
Let me get this straight – American drones kill countless Pakistani civilians. An American citizen commits cold-blooded murder in broad daylight on Pakistani soil, of two Pakistani citizens, and the full force of the American government is out to protect this man?
If the Pakistani government desires even a thread of legitimacy in the eyes of the people, it must stare down the American threats and prosecute this killer, Mr. Davis. If he gets away with this, then anything goes.Recommend
Has anyone noticed that there have been no drone attacks since Raymond Davis has been arrested?.
This whole issue needs to be sorted out with cooler minds and with realistic approach.
May be a way forward would be release him,both with assurance that he will be tried in US.Recommend
What would have been the scene if sons of some high-ups killed in such incident ?Recommend
500%? Get real.Recommend
I am absolutely delighted by this as I think US has been carrying and bankrolling Pakistan every since its birth, which inturn has allowed to invest more on destroying India than improving its economy, Political structure, etc.
What I dont understand is how can a sane Pakistani call for Davis's punishment. Doesn't he realize the kind of Economic mess that Pakistan is in? And, the only Country now, which has the resources to spare some change for Pakistan is the USA? In the last 10 years US has given around $20 Billion to Pakistan. For a $160 Billion Economy that is HUGE!
Even during the recent floods, US gave more money than all the Countries combines, excluding EU. And, not to forget $7.5 Billion, US will be giving to Pakistan in a span of 5 or so years under KL law.
To those of you who think that China will manage to fill US's shoes, let me take you back a few months after the devastating floods – The floods were so massive and had such a deep impact that even India pledged $20 Million. How much did China pledge? A paltry $9 Million for a $4 Trillion dollar Economy and with forex reserves of more than $2 Trillion.
Christian Science Monitor puts it well when it says,"Some Pakistanis, meanwhile, question why a relationship with China that is supposedly "as high as the Himalayas" has produced an offer of only $9 million – not even a foothill."
As a Humanist I say the sensible option is to let Davis go, to save Pakistan's poor. Dont be STUPID!Recommend
Pakistan is violating International law. Raymond Davis has diplomatic immunity. He acted in Self-defense.US is the most generous aid donor to Pakistan. Free Raymond Davis and stop biting the hand that feeds Pakistan. Recommend
@F Robinson : please do not satisfy the general America stereotype. come up with something new; every Davis related argument you comment the same line I for one am starting to doubt your creativity if not intellectual ability Recommend
According to initial reports Davis alleged that the 2 motor-cyclists were armed with pistols and had threatened him. But later reports have not dwelt at length on this. Davis probably over-reacted. But one would also like to know, who were the motor-cyclists, I mean their professional background, antecedents etc. There is too much heat and not enough light. Has Davis case not become a pawn in anti-American politics of religious right, pushing the merits of the case in the background and the long-term interests of the country in jeopardy?Recommend
Without strong provocation the American might not have shot dead the two Pakistanis, on a broad daylight and right amidst the traffic, risking possible lynching by infuriated mob. Pakistanis are good at shooting on their own legs and they did it again. All sections, such as public, Federal government, state government, judiciary media and off course good old Mullahs have played their role pretty well in this foolish drama. Pakistan desperately needs the US and its western allies. Both, western aid and trade are vital for the survival of the Pak economy.
Those Pakistanis who have adopted a jingoistic stand and busy calling for terminating relations with the United State, don't know about economics and how a state functions. They are blissfully unaware of the consequences of economic collapse. Ask Argentineans or Zimbabweans. In Argentina, economic meltdown was so swift that the Government was forced to freeze peoples' Bank Accounts for one year, leading to the widespread rioting. Not just that, within few months peso completely lost its value. People started using the so called 'alternative currency' which included notary agreements, bonds etc.
In Zimbabwe, situation became so worse that by 2008 inflation reached 11,200,000% percent! And the Central Bank left with no other option but to print 100 billion dollars (Zimbabweans) notes!! Goods virtually disappeared from shops and whatever were left, such as potatoes, were being sold at 10 billion dollars a Kg.!
There is another myth prevalent in Pakistan i.e. the US troops would be starving if Pak cuts off supply route. No sir, absolutely false hope. The US would increase supplies from northern Afghan road link and through air transportation. Both are expensive compared to Pak route, but, this can be more than compensated by cutting off the billions of dollars of aid to Pakistan. The only thing Pakistan can do is to strengthen Taliban and make life difficult for Americans, but, that would be an open invitation to war with the US, something unimaginable.
Let me tell you another thing, all your four neighbors, India, Iran, Afghanistan and China are watching the ongoing drama with smile on their faces as everyone of them wants relations between Pakistan and the US to sour, albeit for the different reasons. Recommend
i would lyk u 2 post comments by giving true facts…tell me y did he shoot them from the bak ..he is a spy coz he was having photos of madrasa and mullahs who have been involved in bombng..his car number plate is fake …was having a gun and wireless……and lots of other proof has cme out that he is a spy and is associated with blakwater..he also had photos of pakistani army near the indian border …..y was he doing all these……Recommend
1947 is a disaster for Pakistan if one looks at it objectively after 65 yesRecommend
@ neeraj.. you are comparing apples to oranges.. the dynamics of those regions can not be compared to pakistan..
mr. john.. an indian would definitely say that.
mr. robinson.. your messages seem to be automated.
the ex-pak foreign minister said today he is not a diplomat and his comments are based on inputs from the FO.Recommend
Haqqani is a dual national!Recommend
Let Mr. Davis stand for trial in Pakistan and clear his name. And let the trial be fair based on logic and natural justice. This "diplomatic immunity" clause should not be a hinderance. If he is indeed found to have killed in self defense, release him, protests notwithstanding, if not, then punish him under law of the land. But he should stand trial to clear his name.Recommend
@Anoop: Please also help your FM to differentiate between speeches of Portugal, Brazil, India etc. HeHeRecommend
@Harish Advani:

Mr John,
In retrospect, Partition must be seen as a major blessing for India!
Indians can't stop thinking what their plight would have been if Pakistani people had been a burden on Indian people's productivity today.

About OpenNEROOpenNERO is an open source software platform designed for research and education in Artificial Intelligence. The project is based on the Neuro-Evolving Robotic Operatives (NERO) game developed by graduate and undergraduate students at the Neural Networks Research Group and Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin.
In particular, OpenNERO has been used to implement several demos and exercises for the Russell and Norvig's textbook Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach. These demos and exercises illustrate AI methods such as brute-force search, heuristic search, scripting, reinforcement learning, and evolutionary computation, and AI problems such as maze running, vacuuming, and robotic battle. The methods and problems are implemented in three different environments (or "mods"), as described below.
More environments, problems, and methods, as well as demos and exercises illustrating them, will be added in the future. The current ones are intended to serve as a starting point on which new ones can be built, by us, but also by the community at large. If you'd like to contribute something you have built, you can reach project managers at opennero-questions.

Yep, just sold my house for a huge loss (thank you Barney Frank, Bill Clinton, and Freddie-Fannie) and have decided that I'll rent until I see a dramatic and positive change in direction for this country.Given how hard it was to find a decent rental unit, I can only summize that there are a lot of people thinking just like me.
We're headed for a big bust in multi-unit housing. i.e. apartments. They are way overbuilt and overcharging for rent. When Romney wins and businesses start hiring, folks will begin to move back into homes leaving apartments in droves.
I agree #2 and reason is always the same. Why pay rent when you could be building equity by owning a home?
As soon as housing prices start going up again, rents will fall. I suppose the builders figure they can always convert to condos.
Agenda 21 - move people out of individual, owned properties and into communal housing....

Seven percent of all men are gay. But most Indonesians don't want a lesbian or homosexual as their neighbour. Fifteen percent of all inhabitants is not Sunni in Indonesia. Yet almost one in every two Indonesians doesn't like to have someone who adheres to a different religion in their neighbourhood.
Deviancy usually is frowned upon. Many, if not most people tend to be ill at ease in the company of men and women who are, look , think, behave different from themselves. Hippies made common middle class persons feel uncomfortable. Disabled people often run into fellow human beings trying to avoid them. Conservatives prefer to befriend conservatives rather than liberals. And vice versa. Most inhabitants of Amsterdam probably wouldn't like their neighbour wearing a Niqab and most inhabitants of Bandar Aceh in all likelihood wouldn't want lo live next to an atheist. It's not easy to be Black out of Africa, Asian in Russia or Caucasian in Zimbabwe. Or Chinese in Indonesia. Majorities generally are not fond of minorities. Discrimination is in our veins. Not just in South-East Asia, but everywhere.
However condemning discrimination and supporting tolerance is an act of civilization. It's a product of increasing prosperity, education and a global orientation. At the start it is an elitist hobby. Fragile. Even in countries where any discrimination by ethnic, religious, gender and other criteria has been outlawed. Yet in my opinion anti discriminatory laws and systematically cultivating cultures of tolerance is a public obligation.
However the situation in Indonesia is worrying. There is no real progress. In stead conditions seem to be deteriorating.
According to the LSI researchers, intolerance is up under SBY's watch. Today one in every three well educated Indonesians ( at University level) and even two out of every three Indonesians who have a poor or even high school education, reject Shiites, Ahmadis and most of all homosexuals. Some 30% of the population even agree with religious based violence towards them. So, a huge minority of the archipelago´s population backs beating minorities into conformity. Poverty, ignorance, an absent state and aggressive religion make a rich ground for homophobia and other discomforts - especially in rural and poor parts of the country. No diversity. No unity. Demand respect, don't offer respect. Just bully the deviant bastards into compliance with opinions, attitudes, habits and codes of the majority religion.
Unfortunately deviant minorities can´t really rely on a state of law. Anti discrimination laws are not effective. Alleged causes are a weak state, indecisive leadership and poor law enforcement.
Neither can they hope for a systematically growing culture of tolerance. In reality it is like the ´Dancing procession of Echternach`; two steps forward and one step back. Or in this case : one step forward, two steps back. It's no exception authorities get bribed to side with Sunni vigilantes who represent religious intolerance.
A dramatic U-turn is necessary. It' obviously will be quite a challenge to the next government and to the informed, progressive part of society. Perhaps this JP editorial advice might be a bold and promising start: Gay Official? Why not?

Park Tavern Review
This upscale American tavern right on Washington Square has been a hit from the day it opened. Chef Jennifer Puccio has created a menu that is appealing for many, whether you're at the bar and just want some deviled eggs and charcuterie, in the dining room for a meal of a butter-lettuce wedge and grilled New York steak, or lingering over a sunny brunch of confit chicken and potato hash. Favorites from Puccio and business partner Anna Weinberg's Marlowe are also on the menu: the famed burger and Brussels sprout chips. The bar is as lively as the dining room (blame the refreshing cocktails), but the volume remains at a pleasant level. The dining room has a handsome look to it, a bit classic bistro with an urban touch. Finish the night with the monthly rotating birthday cake, and be sure to make a wish as you blow out the candle.

Todd Bigelow for Der Spiegel
April 23rd, 2012
Novus Select and Aurora Photos photographer Todd Bigelow was recently featured in Der Spiegel. His images of Mexican boxer Abner Mares tell a striking story about the world champion boxer. Mares came to the United States as the son of illegal immigrants and eventually fell in with Latino gangs. His story and passion may not fall into the standard of the American dream, but it's a story every American should hear.

Posted: 7:23 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, 2012
Staff Writer
City and school district officials are negotiating a space agreement that could move the district's offices into the Middletown City Building at One Donham Plaza by next school year.
While discussions remain preliminary, Mayor Larry Mulligan said it's a strong possibility a deal will be reached.
"There may be some road blocks that may be insurmountable," he said. "But right now, I can't think of anything that can be overcome for us doing it."
A decision to move forward on the partnership could be made by Christmas, and if the project is a go school and city officials say a move could happen this summer.
Middletown schools Superintendent Greg Rasmussen said sharing the city building could provide "significant financial and operational advantages to both parties."
The district has had offices at 1515 Girard Ave. for more than 50 years. Though the building is owned by the district, there are regular maintenance and utility costs. Parking is also a challenge, Rasmussen said.
About 40 school district employees would be impacted by a move, but Rasmussen said some employees would have offices relocated to other buildings in the district.
"We hope that it would provide us with a more productive working environment for our employees and a more effective place for our patrons to come when they come to visit the school district," Rasmussen said.
The negotiations demonstrate the commitment the district and the city have to each other, Mulligan said.
"As the city goes, so does the schools, and as the schools go, so does the city," he said.
Locating district offices to the city building would create a "one-stop shop" for many people who do business with both governmental entities, Rasmussen said.
"We think the location is a positive for the location as downtown Middletown begins to evolve," he said.
City Manager Judy Gilleland called the scenario a "win-win" for the city and the school district.
Any move would require the approval of both the school board and city council, but Middletown school board president Marcia Andrew admits the board thinks "the concept of shared space has a lot of merit."
Until a formal proposal is presented to both the governmental bodies, administrators will review space allocation, financial costs and savings, and other related details, Gilleland said.
An initial scenario shows the district occupying the fourth floor of the city building, she said.
It's unknown at this time how many taxpayer dollars could be saved by the district, how much the city could financially benefit, and if the Middletown City Building would undergo a name change.

http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefoo...-is-the-anti-johnny-manziel-daily-buzz-090313 refreshing story in the wake of the bullshit that is Johnny Manziel I watched Winston pitch for FSU in their super regional, dude is a straight up stud athlete. Great to see that he is a grounded kid.
During the FSU game, they mentioned that Winston often gets emotional during practices. It was when he started yelling at the FSU coaches for not getting a play in time. Jimbo pointed at himself and said "our fault". Can't recall if the announcers compared him to Manziel when that happened or if it was just my own thought. I'm sure he's nothing like Manziel but couldn't really tell from the article (not many details were given). Winston has already said he wanted to go to Texas, which I think Manziel also said. Not sure why Winston had to bring that up now.
Very temperamental kid. Great talent, but he and the head coach need to have a clear understanding of who's boss. Coaches are just like parents, teach them early at practice or later, they will embarrass you on gameday. Just ask Sumlin?
stop with this bullshit. why because he is at FSU. Coaches arent parents, they are coaches, coaching young men, not 12 year old kids.
@TUSKtimes is pissed because this incredible athlete is from none other than Tuscaloosa, AL . He chose FSU for two reasons: 1. because Bama's baseball team is a lop of donkey shit and 2. B/C he wanted to get the fuck out of that God forsaken redneck shithole
I thought LSU struck out with this kid as well? He is from Hueytown, just outside B'ham. I was disappointed he didn't chose the Tide. But being in an offense that's throwing the football 40 or 50 times a game probably mattered more then the quality of baseball being played. Can't win them all.

The Red Arrows are to return to an East Lothian airshow for the first time in five years.
The aerobatic team last visited the show at the National Museum of Flight in 2007.
This year they will take to the skies over East Fortune along with variety of other aircraft.
So far the line-up includes a Royal Navy Sea King search and rescue helicopter, a Hawk T1 jet trainer and a 1941 Tiger Moth biplane. There will also be aerobatic displays from the RV8ters and the SWIP Team Twister Duo.
Tickets have gone on sale for the airshow on July 28.
Visitors will also be able to explore the permanent displays at the museum, including the Concorde.
General manager Grant MacKenzie said: "We're delighted that the Red Arrows will be attending again this year as their thrilling displays are always loved by the crowds here at East Fortune. We've already lined up some other fantastic aircraft and hope to be able to announce more amazing aerial acts in the coming weeks. When combined with the great on-the-ground entertainment we're planning, we believe our Airshow is one of Scotland's best family days out."

Therapeutic Principles
This unit of study is intended to provide knowledge in a number of fundamental areas that guide and provide evidence to support the safe, effective and ethical use of medicines. These fundamental areas of knowledge start with an understanding of the relationship between drugs interacting with target sites in the body and the effect produced (i.e. pharmacodynamic principles) and understanding the physiological and physicochemical factors that govern the movement of drugs around the body and the time course of exposure of body tissues and blood to drugs (i.e. pharmacokinetics). These principles involve developing concepts and models to explain drug activity in patients and to guide appropriate drug dosage selection. To support this, relevant mathematical principles involving calculus are introduced during this unit of study.This unit will also explore reasons behind variability in response to medicines among different individuals. The effects of disease, other drugs, demographics and the genetic basis for variable response will be introduced. Basic pharmacogenetic principles for explaining and predicting pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic variability in response will be explored.Students are also exposed to the notion that medicines may produce adverse effects (as well as beneficial ones). The mechanisms underlying adverse reactions to drugs and how these are classified are explored as are the principles for detecting and avoiding these effects.Ultimately, many options often exist to manage illness. While the fundamental principles described above assist in understanding how individual drugs should be used, they do not alone provide knowledge to select among alternative options. This unit will introduce students to methods that are used to provide evidence of efficacy and safety of different therapeutic options and to define the place in therapy of these options. To do this, the principles that underpin evidence based medicine (including the clinical trial and pharmacoepidemiology) and the notion of levels of evidence are introduced. Exposure to these principles is intended to develop in students a basic understanding of how to critically evaluate therapeutic options. The evaluation of therapeutic options requires an understanding of statistical methods, which are also introduced during this unit of study.

Aligning core values to action for real change.
1 919 455 3389
What does authenticity have to do with leadership? A lot for those who want to become great leaders. More than 1000 studies over a 50-year time-frame have not produced a single profile of the ideal leader. Such a profile does not exist. Leadership emerges from people's life stories and from their ability to develop self-awareness about their experiences. Discovering who you are – becoming authentic – requires a commitment to discovering yourself. Its benefits include greater efficiency, effectiveness and motivation, better balance in life, empowered team members, and superior results over a sustained period of time.

Posted 2 months ago by Erin F.
Worst Japanese food I've ever had. The delivery guy didn't secure the soup, so by the time my food arrived, everything was soggy because it was covered in Miso soup. The chicken teriyaki was fatty, chewy, and largely dark meat. It came with a piece of shrimp tempura that was covered in GREEN spots. Inedible slop. I have no idea why this place has such a high rating. I spent over $20, and 90% of it ended up in the trash.

It's my go-to for sushi delivery in Williamsburg. It's not the best sushi you have ever had but it is definitely above average for delivery. Usually arrives pretty quickly too and I'm not even super close to their location. The Salmon Avocado roll is especially good!

Fast delivery! Always really great- that peanut avocado roll is amazing if you're vegetarian (and otherwise too!)
Posted 4 months ago by Dori C.
Pretty low quality sushi. I got yellowtail scallion maki, salmon avocado maki, and crunchy spicy tuna. Everything was just really salty, and the yellowtail especially tasted fishy. Prices are good and delivery time was quick, but don't think I'll order from here again.

Quick delivery (30 minutes) at prime lunch hour; fresh-tasting fish (I ordered a crunchy salmon roll, white tuna & jalapeño roll, and eel & cucumber roll). No problems with the order. Would order from here again.

I'm surprised about the negative reviews here. Sumo is one of my favorite places to get lunch. The deals are really reasonably priced, the food is delicious and filling, and it's always been delivered to me impressively fast. I depend on and trust Sumo for quick, delicious lunches, and they have never let me down.

inedible sushi.
Posted 5 months ago by Lindsay L.
I ordered a Chicken Teriyaki box and it came as dry, breaded chicken with sauce on the side that did not even taste like Teriyaki (no I did not confuse the dumpling sauce for the Teriyaki). The California roll was warm because it was placed in the same box as the chicken and did not include any wasabi. I also paid extra for brown rice and it came with white. There is a lot to choose from when it comes to Japanese food in Brooklyn. I would go elsewhere.
Posted 5 months ago by Chad M.
Unfortunately my first experience with delivery was not good. The delivery combo box was a mess, with items mushed all on top of one another. Rice was very sweet and pretty inedible, salad dressing didn't taste fresh and chicken was very fatty and burnt. Wish I had my $15 back.
Posted 5 months ago by Lauren Kayce W.
Ordered from here twice, both times were a mistake. The chicken is always slimy and the sauce tastes like sour vinegar. Never ordering from here again.
Posted 5 months ago by Lindsay B.
Eat at your own risk. The fish is never fresh, the noodle soups are abysmal, even the teriyaki is terrible. I've ordered here several times, and have always been punished with the worst stomach aches and cramps. Never again.

Excellent food! Just finished my order now. The Chicken curry is delicious and is a nice balance of chicken and vegetables. Food always comes hot to my door. In fact I really want to compliment the really nice delivery guy who was probably the nicest delivery guy I have ever dealt with. Next time see him he's getting a nicer tip. He came right up to my apartment on the second floor. More restaurants should do that. Wonderful service. Will order from again!

Not just the worst Japanese food I've had in New York, but the worst food, period. I ordered a shrimp teriyaki sushi box and side of sauteed broccoli, a standard when I work late, so I've ordered the same meal pretty much NYC-wide. Everything was lukewarm, borderline cold when it finally arrived after more than an hour's wait. The broccoli was old — as in, yellowed around the edges. The shrimp had no teriyaki sauce or noticeable teriyaki flavour to speak of. It was just sweetish in an unpleasant way. Granted, there was a little container of something to go with it, but it looked like a broth, rather any teriyaki sauce I've encountered. The California roll was wadded together into a big lump and the avocado tasted similarly borderline in terms of freshness. A bad thing for avocado. The miso soup .... oh god. If they'd watered it down a fraction further I could have used it to make a cup of tea. (If it had actually been hot, that is.) Also, there was no wasabi or ginger! What Japanese restaurant gives up on condiments?! How cheap are these people? Oh yeah, and how about paying extra for brown rice but still getting white-rice rolls? FFS, if I'd got this in a restaurant I would have sent it back and demanded a refund. But this is online, so ... caveat emptor, I guess. The worst part of it is, it's not even cheap — because there's a $15 minimum, I spent about $20, more than at the fantastic Oishi Sushi in Greenpoint, which is more by item but has a lower delivery minimum and delivered so much delicious food I had to save half for lunch the next day (sadly it's out of range now I've moved). Truly, truly awful.

Food is fine, but when your order is 2 hours late and when you call to ask about your order they hang up on you.... not so great. Will never be using this place again.

This place is really terrible. I had the chirashi and it looked like the fish was cut by a child. All different sizes and jagged edges. Also the fish was dry. Don't order from here.

Cheap prices, but sushi is not the place you want to be sacrificing quality to save a few bucks. First time I tried their rolls every was okay, not amazing. Second time the fish was not fresh at all. There will not be a third time.

My vegetable hot pot was blah... Bland and tasteless. B-o-r-i-n-g.
Posted 8 months ago by young t.
The "food" was awful. The "tempura shrimp" was just covered in plain breadcrumbs and deep fried. The "teriyaki" sauce was essentially oil and a splash of soy sauce. And the dressing on the salad tasted like vinegar and carrots as opposed to anything that belongs in any form of Japanese food. This place should be ashamed to call itself a restaurant.
Posted 9 months ago by Dominic F.
The food here was difficult to stomach, every single dish we ordered was horrible. Poor quality meats and bland. I'm trying to think of something positive to balance out this review but there is simply nothing good to say.

I ordered a sashimi deluxe which I was charged for, but only received a lunch order. Essentially, I paid $20 + tax and tip, and received $12 worth of food. So I called and very politely explained what had happened, and the woman who picked up was very nice and apologized and explained that they were very busy, and I said that it would absolutely be fine if they just credited me the difference, but they never did. I've worked in the industry for 12 yrs, and totally understand that mistakes happen, we are all only human, but I'd still like to be credited... I feel badly even writing this because I do understand.

NOT Fresh. Ordered the sushi / sashimi platter for 2 and none of it was right. Looks old, tastes odd, never ordering from here again. Beyond disappointing and on to disgusting.
Posted 10 months ago by kate i.
Picked jalapenos, subpar oshinko, scallops way below any grade of freshness... the only thing edible was the shrimp tempura maki. Miso soup was way too salty and the pork gyoza were soggy and slimy. Delivery was fast though! 1 star!
Posted 10 months ago by Valerie B.
I ordered a few times in person and they have always been great to me. This is the first time I ordered delivery from them via seamless and I must say that they are FAST and the fish is FRESH. The salmon, white tuna, and the tuna is all fresh and tastes exactly what it is suppose to be. Love them. Will order again.

Food ranges from decent to tasty. Delivery is hit or miss - sometimes it arrives in 30 minutes, sometimes it takes significantly longer than an hour. Worth ordering from, but not reliable.

Inedible!! The bento came in a styrofoam take-out box falling all over itself and the rolls half unrolled. The shrimp tempura was teenie and cold, there was teriyaki sauce literally everywhere, the chicken was boiled and chewy like calamari. When I called to get my money back the manager told me she wouldn't authorize a refund. Apparently they have a "problem" with people wanting their money back, and she seems to think that means there are a lot of liars, not that the food is actually terrible. Then she said if I wanted my money back I'd have to bring the food to the restaurant to prove it was inedible and that it was still all there! Yeah, I totally have an hour to walk to your restaurant and back; that must've been why I ordered delivery. Absolutely ridiculous, not to mention the rudeness of calling me a liar. Don't waste your money!

5 stars for tuna sashimi alone. Generous cuts and slightly chilled. Super fresh. Rolls were OK (baked salmon onion, tuna). Came earlier than they estimated.

I order from this place a lot, but I'm going to start trying new sushi places asap. They are always slow, they never follow the special instructions. Tonight was the worst; I did a future order and it wasn't here 20 minutes after it was supposed to be. I called the restaurant, and the person who answered the phone was like, "oh, it should be there in 10 minutes." I said, "It's already 20 minutes late," and she responded by saying it shouldn't be too long since the guy had been gone for "a while." She never apologized at all, and the sushi showed up 40 mins late. I feel like, "I'm really sorry about that," would have been a better response than letting me know that my sushi had been riding around in a bike for over 40 minutes.

I have only ordered veggie sushi from here because i don't know what to expect with the fish. The delivery is extremely late and when i called to say i probably won't order from them again, I was rushed off the phone without an apology or even acknowledgement of what I had said. They have too much competition for business to treat customers this way.

the food was very good, delivered fast and with a smile. spring rolls lost some of their crispiness on the way over, but you expect that with deliveries of fried stuff. will definitely order again.

best deal is the 3 roll lunch special for 12 dollars. Solid sushi selection, fresh fish, not spectacular but it'll satisfy your desire for instant sushi gratification. As far as sushi goes i would stick with rolls rather than sushi or sashimi, when I eat sashimi i want the absolute best fish. This fish is good enough for rolls but I wouldn't eat it by itself. nothing special. my advice about what to stay away from would be any of the udon. The yaki udon (stir fried) is unbelievably greasy, even if you like greasy. which i do. this is uber greasy. and salty. The udon soup was so salty I couldn't eat it. I love salty food. gimme more salt. But this was outta control. Oh also they don't carry coke products, only pepsi, so be aware of that if you're going to order a soda.

Very good quality Sushi. I've tried most spots in the Burg' and this place is my fav so far for delivery.
Posted a year ago by Anthony S.
Placed our second order earlier. It arrived in a mere 15 minutes, hot foods hot and cold foods cold, order correct, bagged in an orderly fashion and handed over with a smile. Doesn't get much better than this.

Love Sumo! Never had a bad meal. Last night they delivered the wrong order, but when i called they were super apologetic, sent over the right over immediately and my roommates got to eat the 4 rolls they sent by mistake, Foods awesome, so is the service! :)

GROSS. Just ordered two rolls for $20 and ate two pieces and promptly threw them out...and I'm no sushi snob. Get takeout elsewhere-skip this place if you want your tastebuds to be saved. I second another reviewers comment that for some reason there was a tomato flavor to my sushi rolls-NEVER AGAIN.

Very late with their order. Time range said 30-45 min but has taken over an hour and I still havent received my order!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Usually sushi is sub-par when ordered even from good restaurants, this place is even better than most places in dining!! Not to be missed.

Rolls had a strange tomato-y sauce in them and were excessively spicy. What kind of sushi restaurant puts tomato sauce with raw fish, avocado and soy sauce?

This place has become my standby japanese in the area. Exactly what you would expect for the price (aka, nothing fancy, and not a great place to order uni etc) but terrific value for the price, and reliable quality. The combo roll specials are SO CHEAP. I love the carrot ginger dressing and the sashimi salad... the tataki series is really good too, but quite a bit on the spicy side. yes, I am a crazy person for ordering sashimi here.. I still do it every time. Also, the delivery guy is always nice and it's always 45 mins on the dot, even when it's pouring out.

We loved their sushi, but we went back to order a week later and the prices on each roll were jacked up by 75 cents. I don't believe in paying more than $4 a roll for sushi with only vegetables.

I order from Sumo many times a month if not a week...I have to say it's the best delivery sushi in Williamsburg for the price; the portions are larger and the fish is fresher than other places I've tried. We're addicted to the Godzilla roll...highly recommend!

I can't get enough of Sumo! The Crazy Salmon roll is delicious, as are the spicy tuna rolls, the rock shrimp and avocado rolls and the sweet potato tempura roll. The seaweed salad is perfect. Here's a random thing to avoid though. Don't get the Kani sushi (imitation crab meat). For some reason I love that stuff, but here it is strangely dry and stale. Other than that, the fish is fresh and delicious here.

The delivery took over an hour and a half so we canceled the order. They dropped the food off anyways after that and good thing the girl said she wouldn't charge us because the food was bad. I'll never order from this place again!
Posted 2 years ago by Marjorie L.
I would give these guys four stars, but for a few problems...more than one time they forgot something in the order...their sushi is the best in my delivery area, though, so I keep coming back. LOVE the spicy scallop roll, and their lunch special (three rolls plus soup or salad for $11!) kicks butt. Just be sure and type MISO SOUP or SALAD under special instructions, otherwise they won't include it. Pretty prompt delivery, outside of the lunch rush. Recommend.

The fish is tasty and I love how inexpensive everything is... however... the garnishes leave much to be desired (and to this garnish fan, that's a game-killer). Ginger overly sweet, clearly dyed, and just, blergh. I saw on the menu white tuna-jalapeno (my fave!). Alas, the best way to ruin a nice piece of fish is by shoving some canned, pickled jalapenos in there. Please improve the ingredients secondary to the fish, Sumo. Thanks!

Horrible service. Dinner came 1 1/2 hours late and delivery boy wouldn't bring it up to the 3rd floor and made me come downstairs to pick it up! When I complained to the manager, she offered me a free roll as an apology!! This place is a disgrace to Japanese restaurants!

5 Stars for the best sushi available in my delivery range. Very typical American style Japanese sushi, but pretty good! Delivery is always fast. Only complaint is I wish the minimum was $10 rather than $15.

There are numerous Japanese restaurants in the Northside of Williamsburg and Sumo is my favorite after all these years of living, and eating, here. Service is always quick and the staff is always friendly and helpful when placing an order. I would order in from here everyday if I could!! The sushi is fresh and all in all the menu is a great value. If you haven't tried Sumo yet, well, what are you waiting for???

Sumo Japanese offers a quick and easy alternative to going out for sushi. The menu is very straightforward with a variety of sushi and sashimi items as well as some standard entrées. For two people, I usually order one of their Teriyaki combo boxes and then a few rolls, more than enough food to satisfy our far east cravings. The food is fresh, tasty, and prepared quickly, for the price it simply cannot be beat.

Just fifty years ago one man alone, the Nizam of Hyderabad, had five hundred wives. He was the richest man in the world, just by chance, because in his state is the mine where all the great diamonds have been found, from Kohinoor to many others. It still yields diamonds of tremendous value.
Naturally, first the Nizam would take whatever he liked and the leftovers were sold to the world. This was going on for almost one thousand years. He had accumulated so many diamonds that it had become impossible to count them. So in the Nizam's palace vast basements were filled with diamonds, not counted but weighed, one kilo, two kilos…It had never happened in the world; diamonds are not weighed in kilos. Even he was not aware how much his wealth was.
Any beautiful woman born within his state was his first choice. If he rejected her then anybody else could have her. Then other members of the Rotary Club…This was not only the case with Nizam, it has been the case with many kings down the ages – and I am talking about those days. Those small groups used to clash with each other. The only treasure they had was the woman. There was no currency and there was no gold and there were no precious stones. The only one thing was the woman. So those small groups were continuously fighting and snatching away women from other groups.
This must have continued for thousands of years. Finally, it dawned on people's minds – the mind of man is very slow growing – that this was not the right way: "We should create bigger tribes with power and strength." Small groups could not survive, either they had to die or they had to become part of the bigger tribe. Tribes had no families. The same rule continued. The women were allotted according to power. The woman has been a commodity for millions of years, and at one time, she was the only commodity.
But soon a new phenomenon started happening because all these tribes were living off hunting. A hunting tribe cannot live in one place for long, because sooner or later, it has hunted all the animals or the remaining ones have escaped. The tribe has to move. You will be surprised to know that it was from central Mongolia that the whole population of today's civilized world has arisen. Tribes had to move in different directions. The same tribe which reached Iran, the same tribe – a different section, a different faction – reached to Germany, to India…
Linguists have found that all these sophisticated and cultured countries of the world have only one mother tongue and that is Sanskrit. The German language has thirty percent of its words originating from Sanskrit. So is the case with English and so is the case with Dutch. The whole of Europe…these are all brothers and sisters. Their forefathers one day were living in central Mongolia. But a hunting tribe has to move and has to move in different directions. A small portion of people moves in one direction, the other in another direction – wherever there is a possibility to find food.

10 Trends in Celebrity Baby Naming
Occupied by a Name?
Like the form says, state your name and occupation, or borrow somebody else's. Davis and Jillette may have caused waves with Pirate and Moxie Crimefighter but they are not alone. Kate Hudson liked Ryder, Jason Lee flew solo with Pilot Inspektor, and Reese Witherspoon found her calling in Deacon. With names like these, can little Actors, Dancers, Teachers, and Drivers be far behind?
Who's Done It: Christie Brinkley searched far and wide for daughter, Sailor, and Spy Kids director Robert Rodriguez launched sons, Racer, Rebel, and Rocket.
The Latest Twist: Take a cue from Jason Lee and change a letter so the spelling isn't perfekt.
Blast from the Past: Most people have heard about Moon Unit, Dweezil, and Ahmet Rodan, but did you know Frank Zappa named his daughter Diva Muffin?

"What would you do if, to live forever, you had to drain others of their lives?"
Actually, a better title for this Filipino adventure movie would have been 'The Deadly Thirst.'
Some might recall a 1960 Universal International effort called The Leech Woman, about a woman who discovers a means of restoring beauty and youth by drinking extracts from male glands. This is the secret of a remote African tribe.
The Thirsty Dead reworks this premise slightly. Here, women are abducted and taken to become new members of a remote jungle paradise where the natives drink the blood of others to prolong their lives. The fortunate few feed off the youth and beauty of the unfortunate others. In this case, the ritual is tied to some ancient ceremony, so the victims are willing participants of the cult. They don't die, but after years of service become blood-thirsty and insane. The bulk of the film follows some recent abductees as they discover how this system works, and their attempts to escape.
I'm really not sure what to say about the film. While well-mounted and not terrible, it isn't particularly memorable either. It's the sort of curious piece that mostly served to fill out double or triple bills.
The biggest name connected to the film is our male lead John Considine, a busy TV actor. Here, he plays Baru, the sympathetic co-leader of this lost society. He shares power with a rather more ruthless queen, reminding me of the later Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold, where a similar lost tribe was ruled by a pair of good/bad potentates (the bad one being played by Cassandra Peterson!) and forced to make human sacrifice until strangers came to town. Considine isn't bad here, but nor does he burn up the screen with his presence.
Like Considine, many of the lead actresses had active careers in television. The only really note-worthy name for Jabootu readers might be that of Vic Diaz, who stops by to play a cop. Diaz did tons of Filipino genre movies, among them Hustler Squad (which I reviewed over at Baker's Log long ago). Monster movie fans may remember him as the Devil in The Beast of the Yellow Night, a bizarre pseudo-werewolf movie where he brings murderer John Ashley (the actor, not the gangster) back to life as another man. When Ashley develops a conscience, his dark master retaliates by turning him into a blood-drinking monster.
Speaking of monsters, the big set-piece here is a break-out of the mutilated victims who take revenge on a few pretty people who fall into their clutches. This was described somewhere as being like something from a zombie movie, and there is a little bit of unconvincing gore here, but it looks more to me like the release of the mutants witnessed in the trailer for Beyond the Time Barrier, a Robert Clarke vehicle from 1960. If anything, that mass attack scene looks more exciting (I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm anxious to do so).
Although fairly obscure, the film was once a staple on UHF horror shows. I can only imagine the kiddies who stayed up late were pretty disappointed by the lack of overmuch horror. You could file this one with 60′s Hercules movies, more adventure than terror.
Editor Ken: The Thirsty Dead is available via one of Something Weird's double bill DVDs, mated with something called Swamp of the Ravens. Amazon sells it for under $10.
I also apologize for undercutting Rock's review of the film with these stills. I'm certain the movie is *exactly* as boring as he describes, but of course these images, looking like a really bad Star Trek episode, make me really want to see it. We just can't stop trying to kick that football, can we?

Countering The Single Leg Whizzer
Trying to finish a single sucks when your opponent sprawls hard and rips that whizzer in. So what to do? Here's a nice technique for nullifying the whizzer and putting yourself in a great position to either simply finish the takedown or work yourself to the back.
