This place must be the best vegan restaurant in the city... I am Japanese and love this place so much. I come here once in a while and theier food always surprised me with a delight!
The food and service was stellar! The flavor profile was tremendous! The price range for me is for super special occasions only, but those occasions it will be completely worth the price.
The service is outstanding! Beautifully simplistic decor. The food was an experience not to be missed, especially for a vegetarian or vegan! The flavors were surprisingly bland for my taste, however the food was beautiful and artfully creative.
Don't be thrown off by the vegan menu. Kajitsu offers a memorable and unique meal. Neither me nor my husband ever thought about not having meat or dairy in the dishes. We had the Hana (8-course) menu, and every dish was complex and surprising and served on lovely dishes. I really enjoyed the vegetables with sesame wasabi sauce, and my husband loved the tofu ball soup with pumpkin fu. The service was careful and pleasant. Our server explained each dish (and what was edible and not on the plate), and we felt well cared for. It is clear the kitchen and staff strive to offer a one-of-a-kind meal and one you will be talking about for days afterwards. We still are! Highly recommended.
The food, service and presentation was suburb. Sake pairing was exquisite
This was one of the most amazing dining experiences my daughter and I have ever had. The tradition behind this restaurant is incredible. The food was so beautifully served, have never tasted anything like this. Kanako, who was our server completed our experience. She was so sweet, explained everything in great deal, answered any question we presented to her. She really made the whole experience for us! We loved the quietness of the restaurant and the complete zen feeling behind it.
My first visit but definitely not my last. A spare dining room with widely spaced tables that evoke memories of Chanterelle. Like Chanterelle, there is no adornment on the walls; the intent being that the art is on your plate and that nothing should distract you from focusing on the food and your companion. And the food is memorable. Small portions, beautifully presented by a caring, informed staff. If quantity is your goal then you may be disappointed. But if a unique and amazing variety of tastes and presentations that will leave you full is what you are seeking you will find it here. A gem. And they even provide bags at table for people's bags.
The food was great and the service was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in food
A spiritually uplifting food experience. Each dish is a careful creation designed to tickle all the senses, and the palate especially. The service was careful, helpful and gracious. It was like being inside a work of art.
We thoroughly enjoyed our KAJITSU experience. Although apprehensive that we would be left craving more after the meal since it was vegetarian, we were left completely satiated - both on terms of taste and quantity of food. Delicious, delicate and beautifully prepared dishes rolled out from the kitchen. Reminded us about our trip to Kyoto a few years back. Absolutely delightful experience! Topped off with first class service.
Situated in midtown, Kajitsu was the perfect escape from hectic city life without having to actually leave the city. Shojin style is vegan, but you would never miss the absence of meat in this meal. My eating partner and I were completely stuffed, leaving absolutely no room for dessert. The smallest course is about $50, but paired with sake (which I completely recommend, ups the price by about $40. This is for a special occasion without a doubt. The food is really delicious though, very thoughtfully prepared and plated. The space is very Japanese, for those who have been there, the aesthetic of the room, cuisine and distinct wood (cedar?) scent makes you feel like you've been transported back there.
My recent birthday marked my very first Kajitsu experience. I ordered the "Hana" & sake pairing, while my guest ordered the "Kaze". The food was wonderful. I loved every dish, except one (Mushroom Casserole left something to be desired). Presentation was immaculate (favorite being Assortment of Seasonal Vegetables). Sake: exquisite tasting and expertly paired. Matcha topped off the meal beautifully. I will certainly be back! Our server was lovely, attentive, and provided the utmost respectful service and dining experience. Jane was delightful.
I am in town for business and this is the second time I am here! Wonderful food! Never thought that vegetarian food can be sooo delicious!
A total experience. It was like taking a trip to the most luxurious and civilized pocket of refined Japanese culture. Every taste sight sound and smell was elevating to the sense and spirit...I am not exaggerating. A rare treat. Very expensive but worth it. Took a friend for her birthday and it was very very special. I want to bring all the special people in my life there....Maybe not for everyone, but for people who appreciate refined and delicious cuisine, and don't need a steak....or for that Vegan in your life you want to treat....In any case this is clearly an art form for the owners, and everything was made from love.
Their food is really unique. You can't find shojin cuisine anywhere else. Their service is also impeccable.
This was truly a great experience for us. It was our 24th wedding anniversary, and it was a very special place to spend the evening there. We chose the larger menu and it was almost too many courses for us. We did not have sake but the food was excellent, incredibly simple and complex at the same time, a feast for the eyes and the palate. The ceramic dishes, the utensils, the furniture, all are exquisite, with a very minimal taste that we both enjoyed. Having lived in Japan myself, I appreciated this highly refined and sophisticated Japanese restaurant. It might be a bit austere or simple for some, but we enjoyed this peaceful and quiet atmosphere a lot, a rare find in this midtown busy area! Find yourself in ancient Kyoto for an evening.
It's impossible to fully understand Kajitsu without experiencing it for yourself, but suffice to say this is one of the most special dining experiences available in the U.S. Ignoring the fact that the restaurant is fully vegan, the food is amazing. You don't even miss the meat. The service is impeccable as is the new space. Take your favorite vegetarian. They will talk about it forever (and hopefully invite you for many return visits, wallet permitting).
Fantastic cuisine, beautifully presented. A melange of tastes. All vegetarian. Stark Japanese decor, very relaxing and comfortable.
Kajitsu is the best Japanese restaurant in NYC. If you know the real Japanese food in Japan, you love it. If you love clean food, you love it. If you love vegetable, you love it. They open lunch now, Kajitsu and Kokage(down stair), if you love fish, Kokage's lunch is the best, too!
The meal was delicious. Each course was beautifully presented and explained to us before we enjoyed it. This restaurant's menu should be approached with an adventurous, open attitude, so foodies will be very pleased. I was unable to try the sake pairings, but next time I go, I'll be sure to pay for this addition.
Showcasing kaiseki shojin cuisine, Kajitsu is outstanding for its attention to detail. The food is crafted with virtuosity. Equally impressive is the pottery, the sourcing, and the choreographed presentation.
Got the 8 course tasting menu with sake pairings. Standouts included the wonderful tomato-fu in the first course (seriously, I'd eat a plate of it), the house made soba, and the morel mushrooms. The dishes were hearty and portions generous for a tasting. I found the pacing between courses to be off...the waiting became excruciating at times. The two dessert courses did not add much to the overall experience. I found myself wishing I had chosen the four course tasting because this is not the sort of place you want to be sitting around in for three hours (no background music, barebones decor). But the sake pairings were EXCELLENT. I seriously never tasted such great sake, each glass thoughtfully matched with it's course.
Food is excellent, very well made, but, for us, only once, since we prefer meat and/or fish, which we knew were not served. We knew that Kajitsu used only other ingredients, and enjoyed trying it, but would not return solely for that reason. The chef is imaginative, all was very tasty.
unusual and subtle but really, really delicious. I definitely would like to go back and would highly recommend. Big portions for a tasting menu. We were full with 5 course menu. note for gluten intolerant people there is gluten in many parts of tasting menu that cannot be avoided.
Our family of three celebrated my husband's 60th birthday at Kajitsu. It was a memorable experience, and perfect for a man who prizes mindful eating in a serene environment. The food was seasonal, and artfully presented and all of us enjoyed the "wow" factor of each course. My husband had the 8 course tasting, our 10 year old daughter and I had the four course. It was sublime. Service was gracious, attentive and unobtrusive. We all loved having the frothy green matcha at the end of the meal; it was like a small wave cresting on an placid, tranquil lake.
very helpful in accommodating a food allergy issue
The exquisitely beautiful dishes were feasts for both the eyes and the palate. Every plate combined a variety of complimentary tastes, colors and textures and the parade of courses was perfectly timed and judiciously balanced. This is the only Japanese restaurant at which I've dined where the quality of ingredients and creativity and artistry of the chef reminded me of the dinners at one of Japan's finest onsets. Thank you Kajitsu! I look forward to returning.
I was a skeptic about going to a vegan Japanese place, but was completely convinced. Edamame tempura - amazing. And the sake pairings were magnificent.
The food was beautiful, delicious, refined, and like nothing my husband and I had ever tasted. He is a devoted carnivore but the creativity and flavors blew him away! Just don't show up early: you won't be seated until your precise reservation time even if there are tables available.
As a vegetarian, I usually don't have many options when dining out, so whenever eating at a vegetation restaurant I am usually overwhelmed with choices. Kajitsu's 8 course pre-fixe Hana menu was out of this world amazing. Every course was exciting and creative. The staff was very professional and attentive, the presentation of dishes felt like theatre and they even noticed my fiancé was left handed and p,aced s dishes accordingly. All in all an amazing meal and would definitely go back.
I had as great a dining experience at the new location as in the East Village. I do miss the more intimate setting that was in the EV. We had the seasonal menu with the sake pairing and it was totally worth the high price tag. My only criticism would be is that the staff hovers over the table too much. We couldn't figure it out. They didn't need the table. They are too quick to be over to you. They need to let people sit and converse and have a relaxing meal. We felt like they were a bit too regimented. That said, I would go back in a heartbeat. The food is sublime and the staff, with that small flaw is close to flawless.
Went here for dinner recently and ordered the Hana menu. Among the standouts: The eggplant potage and the pumpkin-fu that was served as part of the Matsutake Takiawase (soup). Thoroughly impressed by waitstaff, food, service, atmosphere -- even extending to the moment we were leaving and I didn't realize that my dress was caught in my leggings -- saved me from public embarrassment.
We have been to Kajitsu many times and we have amazing experiences each time. Seasonal inspiration and creativity by the executive chef is just incredible and because the menu changes every month, we always look forward to visiting there. I think cost performance is really good with the care and attention you taste in the food and the impeccable service.
I am native Japanese, and travel back there very often. As soon as I walked in Kanjitsu, I felt so Japan. Décor, food, and service are all very authentic. We had Matsutake mushroom course menu for $100 per person, but this was a bargain comparing to the similar course in Japan. It was well worth for every dollar. Dishes are very delicate, and broth they use for many dishes are amazing. You can experience real Japan, without flying for 14 hours. Highly recommended.
great vegetarian food experience. The taste, the concept, the presentation all together create a wonderful balance meal.
Incredible preparation of Japanese specialties. Immaculate service. Incredible presentation. Delightful dishes with amazing flavors. Kajitsu is a real treat. And an experience. Each dish more beautiful then the one before it and the sake pairing is the best I have ever tasted. The decor while austere is stunning and fitting for this restaurant who's food is inspired by monks food. The tables and chairs are so beautiful raw wood sanded to the finest grain. The detail given to the whole restaurant is outstanding and very very sophisticated.
First time trying shojin cuisine, and we loved it! They were not only deliciouse but had a very pleasant, beautiful plate settings. It is a good place for a family gathering and a nice place for dating as well. Highly recommend!
The 8-course seasonal prix fixe menu may sound expensive at $100 but it is a relative bargain considering the quality of the ingredients, the care that goes into the preparation and the beauty of the presentation. As a Vegan there are few places I would rather be than here.
We have been to Kajitsu many times and we still love this place! Cannot wait for our next visit!
On our last night in city, my husband and I decided to try this restaurant next to our hotel. We had walked by it a few times and the atmosphere seemed appealing.The main dining room is beautiful and very zen.The service was outstanding. We took the 8 course meal and 2 waiters came to our table for each course to bring us our food at the same time. Because we did not know much about saké, we opted for the saké pairing and we were explained the subtle differences for each one. The food presentation was beautiful and very creative. Some people may be hesitant to try it because it is vegetarian but there were so many delicate flavors and textures to discover. This was definitely one of the highlights of our week in NYC. So happy we went.
Lovely place. Simple decor to say the least. Food very creative. Sake pairing highly suggested. But be prepared to drop a lot of cash. The 8-course Hana with sake pairing and tip came to about $375 for two. This now ranks as the most expensive dinner I have ever had. Would I do it again? No, but no regrets having one nice experience. Reservations were easy, to make, by the way.
Superbly prepared food and extremely attentive service.
Kajitsu was an exquisite experience: the plain, stark room, wood tables, dark wood trays that the food was placed on, delicate water glasses and sake glasses, presentation of the food, and service. A number of the items in the vegetarian 8-course meal we had were new to us. They were all tasty and enjoyable, except for two items that I could have done without. The sake special (the less expensive one of the two specials offered) was the best sake I've ever had.
The small menu with sake pairing is a very nice way to discover the type of cuisine that they propose. It's already a lot of food and very different kinds of dishes. I was just a bit disappointed by the quality of the vegetables, which were not that tasty, but maybe it comes from the fact that we are in the US.
I found this restaurant in the Michelin guide so had high expectations, and it didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, even explaining the history and philosophy behind the cuisine. We enjoyed an 8 course menu with sake matches. Each course was beautifully presented, explained by the server, and wonderfully diverse in flavor and texture. The sake were equally as destinct and well matched and oh so good. Overall it was a dining experience I'll remember and my partner, being vegetarian, is over the moon. Michelin quality restaurant and all dishes vegetarian? Who would have thought...
There isn't stuff on the walls at Kajitsu, and no background music playing. The walls are neutral, and table settings simple. If someone brings in a shopping bag it is politely placed inside a neutral colored bag, presumably to hide the store's name and brand. My parter and I chose the eight course dinner, and I did a three-sake sampler. Each course was beautiful, and even as a long-time vegetarian, I ate things I'd never tried before. If you want loud or trendy, this isn't the spot. We loved having time and quiet to savor each dish, and each other's company. Amazing dining experience like nowhere else!
Kajitzu was all that reviews made it out to be. A simple elegant room, beautiful attentive service, exquisite unique food beautifully presented on dishes made exclusively for the restaurant in Japan. It is costly, but well worth it.
We had a fantastic meal at Kajitsu. It's expensive but it felt worth it both in term of the food, the service and the overall feeling. Every detail is done beautifully but it didn't feel fussy. And the fact that it is vegetarian made it even more wonderful.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on Japanese cuisines. This reflects my personal taste only. We went to Kajitsu for the novelty of it (Michelin-starred, vegetarian) and left feeling that we had probably experienced something special but not completely satisfying. The decor was plain, probably in keeping with the Buddhist spirit, felt more '70s America than traditional Japanese. The waitress was nice and knowledgeable. The food was elegantly presented, though not more so than in any other decent Japanese restaurant. Two or three dishes (out of nine) were really good and special; the rest were good but nothing out of ordinary. Overall, they use lots of mushrooms and pickled veggies but hardly any interesting use of other ingredients.
We really enjoyed our meal at Kajitsu, but it's kind of a strange experience. The food is vegan, as I'm sure you know, but was actually fairly rich and, at times, kind of heavy. I found the longer tasting menu to be too much food. And while the food was often very tasty, I found myself often thinking how interesting a dish was, rather than how fantastic it was. So all in all, quite good, but I don't see myself running back.

That's called quite -- -- should learn about it.
That's all you got -- -- -- confident.
It's sad that that's a first place I go to ignited an ugly place they did you go to an art art I live they do but I guess if people knew about your background it would be so it's where I'm most comfortable with -- exact.
And then and then spent a lot of time there I can I can see that darkness and what people can't recommend.
You can actually see better project -- past like attacking the -- cool born into it.
I wasn't bad actually did that.
It was it not me.
What that -- big fans.
-- the president.
It can staying in.
Greg you -- -- won the GOP primary thanks to Democrats crossing over to help them -- he was an easier opponent for an incumbent senator Claire McCaskill clearly wrong it.
Could not understand what -- -- -- -- -- that one days while.
Think somebody worse than -- -- -- -- -- and not an easy thing yes you know.
Like he said you know you're not doing well and you have to apologize for your position on rape.
And then you mention human genetic and says he misspoke the best thing is he told Sean Hannity on his radio show today that.
He quote he misspoke one -- Yeah yeah I think she only misspoke one more what did he say what that word on easy it was -- -- Legitimate I was semi legitimate is the one he now -- clear that he wasn't intended to talk about rape and haven't yet -- ease him back here.
It's only the best video best of itself so it makes sense yeah.
There is actually evidence that in the if you give a woman in -- she cannot different podcasts.
-- proof.
That's doctor -- -- well pig he said he wanted to know -- this doctor is you gave -- information and they're allotted.
Tacky joke he answers from the panel including doctor.
Seriously shortly before we started taping -- actually he admitted it was it's doctor -- pops.
Really yes there you have it if the doctor has been named Natalie that the you are dying to use that joke oddly -- disappointed that I.
Not a Dr.
Dre from NWA the one who you're going to -- to be -- -- a -- -- Delegate I'd love her incidentally holds the exact same views on the hundreds and I've talked about that's where the -- comes from I exactly I.
But I thought I was so I think you -- doctor do.
Now I don't ever and I would never take.
-- -- -- -- that Coulter wrote quote.
If he does withdraw honorably sacrificing his personal interest to save the country will be time for all good -- to rally around -- as an American patriot.
Then you said that's a short way of saying go to -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Just one word explains its currency -- it happens theoretically it -- a short way of saying go because it could have -- -- -- longer this could be.
Could I mean you could have gone on for a good have been a compound sentence come up -- could hit.
Think it has a -- -- that the -- has set I also.
And he did everything wrong today -- -- -- when you said that chiropractors are real doctors in fact -- I can't do -- I actually can do with -- I'm.
This -- in that -- I'm having problems tonight.
Sometimes with me -- I got to wait this is it -- I'm Sean Hannity radio program also on Tuesday quote.
If you -- -- Romney's position don't you think he may have been this thing up and made a bigger deal about it that he needed to.
Michael is -- -- basically saying Romney is only calling for him to drop out for political gain.
-- he's accused Romney into playing this up for political game yet.
I don't understand he can't happen.
I understand -- this is -- massive.
That's like part of a pattern and do it completely incoherent idiot yes congratulations future senator yet.
I here's another fun one shortly before we started taping it can tweeted quote.
I apologized but the liberal media is trying to make me drop out.
Yeah that that by the way that's an important lesson that people -- artists all art the liberal media.
It's -- actually right it's it's it's people like six Coulter Hannity and Mitt Romney Paul Ryan Chris Christie and all my -- there's apparently -- part of the liberal media which I did not know.
I always want to be part of -- liberal media.
No I am.
You know trying to if you don't want the liberal media the quote unquote liberal media to attack you don't say things like that Sam and I mean are you -- that I -- -- -- -- -- -- is usually practiced with something like I said something totally reasonable he's -- -- to -- his -- -- racist.
Running for example but -- Kansas something -- you deserve to be raked over the -- but that's the -- the liberal media card is becoming just the right what the race card -- to the left you just say it whether it's true or not end up there apparently it works.
You would say that Golden -- Being in the media and I -- you haven't cards still but I did call up left for using the race card so yeah that was very when you got yourself -- the liberal media would never do that.
Also there's there's to be some disbelief of what bill was saying about -- grammar mistakes from Aiken.
Obvious correct Bacon's website said.
Until a little while ago it -- -- that you're standing with Todd -- that was why are you are.
I also saying.
Is the -- liberalism isn't equating to -- got so everyone's life right.
I like I didn't know -- -- gap so good for him but I.
And Greg you said -- Republicans have known that Aiken was like this -- before they nominated him.
Well they did put -- on the house armed services committee Budget Committee and possibly most disturbing the committee on science space and technology.
Yes coastal I think you know what there were just a lot of people running at that time them.
You know -- -- -- -- -- -- one of them in the mall at the ballot without a medical Aiken.
And we go back to the -- theory that people that it was played here we have now -- -- -- maybe -- was Troy Aikman.
Nobody thought it was that rapper Akon yeah -- -- I thought it was an acorn thing everybody loves acorns fall stuff that has been tweeted over the last two days.
Really -- are you saying that I and using other people's tweets anybody confused him with an acorn.
That's me you know I think eight acorn is just you yeah I think -- regular credit for that yes or maybe they thought he was these -- Ashcroft.
And I -- also entirely possible yeah.
I'm gonna keep doing and is pleased.
I have plenty of time.
It GOP convention using rebuilt -- -- -- Tuesday night scene.
Did you -- you believe that -- that Obama the original comment was so telling of his whole mindset that is important keep hammering on it.
Even though he says he didn't mean what conservative city.
If you hear the whole quote in contact yet it's hard to believe that it is what he's saying which is it.
You -- he meant that they built the roads -- let me say anything if you have a business you didn't build act.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Here in context yes -- -- thanks -- -- -- -- -- -- was in contact them but yeah if you leave after you leave your out of content exactly particularly club.
If we can make a serious point no -- a bunch of anger in reference.
All right guys guys you've -- it occur on or whatever.
When I played.
Now -- even a contest is as Obama says it is it's still ludicrous that anyone I think it has the complaints from an argument that dead.
You know Paul Ryan or something isn't an artist and doesn't believe he's been -- -- doing what was abreast of the -- stronger right off all that stuff built with taxpayer money so.
That's true it's -- chicken -- the egg right.
Yeah talk about it yet sometimes it's -- my guess I had kind of plan.
Michael if you want we can try this again.
Greg don't interrupting with -- joke this time get do you think the Republicans risk over doing this.
What we -- It it doesn't negativity well my read is that I didn't used -- interruptions to cover the fact that I don't -- -- -- That's the equivalent of you you're blaming the liberal media yeah.
You in my mind liberal media -- -- -- -- -- is that I agree definitely entered interruptions -- open.
You know and it was terrible joke by the way.
Well actually I thought it was I think I chuckled running behind Scott Brown bit on what do win like that I would if you didn't get it -- kind of right on the just thought it was homophobic.
To be honest it really homo love and it.
Yeah I.
It was one Lake -- population OK okay.

He's good looking man did a good man and he was in them what Cosmo or something I wouldn't know that.

Reviews for Vanilla-Butter Sugar Cookies(14)
Sort By :
This is the only sugar cookie recipe I will ever use! No one can turn them down..you can roll thin and make crispy or thick and make soft and gooey, and they still come out great! I have used countless recipes for sugar cookies over the years but kept trying different one's until I found the perfect one...this is it!
The cookie is excellent, but I'll use a different frosting next time. The frosting seemed a little bitter to my husband and I. But the cookie dough was easy to manage and the cookie turned out beautiful!
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I didn't have issues with sticky dough, but the cookies in general were pretty bland. I felt like the frosting didn't taste like much, either, just sugary.
I will stick with the White Velvet Sugar Cookie recipe, which I LOVE.
Over the years i tried a lot of sugar cookie recipes. I did find one but it was very hard to work with and if you didn't mix it right it was tasteless. I made these cookies for my kids for Easter and they loved them. The dough was very easy to work with, the flavor was delicious and the texture was just how we like our cookie to be.
Everyone tells me that these are the best sugar cookies they've ever eaten. This is my go to recipe for cut-outs.

What is the EIB?
The EU's bank
The EIB is the European Union's bank. We are the only bank owned by and representing the interests of the European Union Member States. We work closely with other EU institutions to implement EU policy.
A major player
As the largest multilateral borrower and lender by volume, we provide finance and expertise for sound and sustainable investment projects which contribute to furthering EU policy objectives. More than 90% of our activity is focused on Europe but we also implement the financial aspects of the EU's external and development policies.
Lending, blending and advising
- Lending: The vast majority of our financing is through loans, but we also offer guarantees, microfinance, equity investment, etc.
- Blending: Our support helps us unlock financing from other sources, particularly from the EU budget. This is blended together to form the full financing package.
- Advising: Lack of finance is often only one barrier to investment. We can help with administrative and project management capacity which facilitates investment implementation.
See "Products section" for our full range of products and services.
Our priorities
We support projects that make a significant contribution to growth, employment, economic and social cohesion and environmental sustainability in Europe and beyond. Our priorities, as defined in our Operational Plan, are:
- Supporting the creators of 80% of new jobs (small and medium sized enterprises SMEs)
- Addressing economic and social imbalances between the regions (cohesion)
- Protecting and improving the natural and urban environment (environmental sustainability)
- Promoting innovation through investment in ICT and human and social capital (innovation)
- Linking regional and national infrastructure of transport and energy (Trans-European Networks)
- Supporting a competitive and secure energy supply (sustainable energy)
We raise the bulk of our lending resources on the international capital markets through bond issues. Our excellent rating allows us to borrow at advantageous rates. We thus are able to offer good terms to our clients.
Our multiplier effect
We generally finance one-third of each project but it can be as much as 50%. This long term, supportive financing often encourages private and public sector actors to make investment which might not otherwise be made.
What makes the EIB different?
All the projects we finance must not only be bankable but also comply with strict economic, technical, environmental and social standards. Our corps of 300 engineers and economists screens every project, before, during and after we lend. We work hard to be accountable to EU citizens.
Our expertise
Around 2000 staff build on more than 50 years' experience and expertise in project financing. Headquartered in Luxembourg, we have a network of local and regional offices in Europe and beyond.
The EIB Group
The EIB Group consists of the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund (EIF). The EIF focuses on innovative financing for SMEs. The EIB is the majority shareholder with the remaining equity held by the European Union (represented by the European Commission) and other European private and public bodies.
Combatting the crisis
In 2012, our shareholders (the EU Member States) decided to increase our capital by EUR 10bn. This boosted our stability and allowed us to plan for EUR 60bn additional lending between 2013 and 2015. Previously, when the financial crisis erupted in 2008, the EU asked us to offset falling investment. This led to a more-than one-third increase in the total value of on-going, outstanding loans by 2011.
As well as our lending operations, we also help one-off schemes to address specific challenges.In 2008/9 many corporate clients approached us for the first time to access the RSFF scheme which supports research, development and innovation (RDI). We also make special funding available to enhance private investment capacity for RDI into energy efficiency and emissions reduction in the automotive, rail, aviation and shipping industries. We work with the European Commission to use EU funds to support special programmes to help countries hard-hit during the crisis.

Stock Radio Problems in my 1994 GMC
Will turn on but will not play & the clock stays @ 1:00. I Do have 2 of the 4 speakers that still work . but no sound what so ever . My question is do have to put the after market radio in place of my cubbie hole (where the tape deck would be) or can I take the stock radio out & get an adapter to put the aftermarket radio in the same spot as the stock radio ? Also any idea of the size of the dash & rear spekers as id like to change them out w/ a new radio . Thanks Yall Mack

07-28-2013, 02:06 AM #2You take out the factory radio and install the new radio and a filler plate. I think you also need an antennae adapter. As fro the speakers, the rear are 4x6... The front, I'm not even sure. What I did was I went to best buy, picked out my radio and seakers and then had them install the rest. Couldn't be happier.

wait, I just processed it is a 94. I'm not sure how the 88-94 interiors are set up as far as the radio goes. I think most people put them in the little cubby thing in the middle and buy a radio delete pocket for the stock location. The rear speakers are the same.

I installed a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/Mp3 in my 92 Silverado using an install kit and put it where the cassette tape unit was. I then yanked the rest of the stock GM radio components and chucked them. All 4 speakers are 4x6. I installed a cubby hole where the oem radio was...

94 Jimmy P/U thanked for this post94 Jimmy P/U liked this post07-29-2013, 01:38 PM #5Thanks that's what I was thinking also but it seems along reach w/o a remote to the cubbie & was hoping to go back in the stock location but looks like that route may be out
I have only seen them done in the cubbie hole area next to the glove box . id like to see how 1 was done in the stock location as that is within reach . the cubbie hole area is kinda out of the way w/o a remote for the radio . no tape deck just an am/fm radio .
That's looking the route im going have to go I'll just buy a radio w/ a remote & thanks for the speaker size cause I was thinking 5x7 @ 1st glad I haven't bought any speakers yet . Thanks Yall Mack
08-01-2013, 01:07 AM #6I've brought this up before for my '89 Silverado. A standard DIN head unit won't fit in the radio spot next to the gauge cluster, it's too small (not wide enough). You have to put a cubby hole next to the gauges and get a radio addition dash piece to put a head unit where the tape deck and equalizer is in the middle of the dash.
I was trying to think of a way to install a Secret Audio stereo system in the stock radio location next to the gauges. The controls mount on a surface, while the amp/receiver unit is remote mounted elsewhere in the dash.csltrains96

Consensus builds to competing mining bill
MADISON – The state's mining permit approval process could be shorten to 3½ years under recommendations advanced Thursday by the Senate Select Mining Committee.By: By Kevin Murphy/For the Superior Telegram, Superior Telegram
MADISON – The state's mining permit approval process could be shorten to 3½ years under recommendations advanced Thursday by the Senate Select Mining Committee.
After 20 hours of testimony during four hearings this fall, the committee met again to reach a consensus on what to include in a bill to attract mining investment by streamlining the approval process while also protecting the environment and public input.
State Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, committee chair, took no votes Thursday but wants a bill drafted and introduced by the Jan. 7 start of the new legislative year.
Cullen said he fully expects the Democrat-controlled committee's bill to compete against a dusted-off version of Republican-favored Assembly Bill 426 that came within one vote of approval in March.
"When you have two bills, the process combines parts of both into one. This bill doesn't lend itself to that. The tenor and direction of the two bills are extremely different. Once you have the two bills side-by-side people will see the difficulty in combining them," he told the committee.
State Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Poplar, called the committee experience "unique" in that it attempted to take the emotion out of the polarizing issue mining has become since Gogebic Taconite announced two years ago that to attract investment the state needed to provide certainty in its mining regulations.
Republican attendance and participation in the committee has dwindled to only State Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, and State Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center showed up Thursday.
Lazich told the committee that current state regulations amount to a "mining moratorium" and praised AB426 as a solution. During a recess she agreed the committee's attempt to reach a consensus Thursday was an exercise in futility.
"What I favored in the last session was getting the process going so the mine could start … Granted it will take them some time to put a shovel in the ground and then all the wonderful jobs will be created. But what we've done is drag our feet and we're a year or two behind from where we'd be if we acted last session," Lazich said
Cutting one year from the approval process can be achieved by eliminating the environmental impact statement and contested case hearing from the prospecting stage, said Jauch.
The EIS would come later in the process and a mining firm would still need to obtain boring permits to locate iron ore deposits. GTac, the firm that proposed a $1.5 billion mine in Ashland and Iron counties took out boring permits but didn't use them, Jauch said.
A mining company would have to let a year lapse between the time it files a notice of intent to mine and applying for a mine construction permit. The time would encourage company involvement with the Department of Natural Resources, and federal agencies plus allows time to consult with Native American tribes regarding the impact on the resources they are entitled to access in ceded territories, said Schultz.
The DNR would work with the Environmental Protection Agency, the Corps of Engineers and the tribes but take the lead in dealing with the mining applicant.
Once the DNR deems the information in the construction application is complete, it would have two years to issue a decision. During that time, the DNR would be allowed a six-month pause to deal with new information or unintended complexities that could arise.
The recommendations also allow the applicant, DNR and federal agencies to work out a different plan, said Jauch.
"That's how most probably would get done. Something always comes up during the process and things don't go according to Hoyle. This allows them to get it right. In the end that's want the applicant wants," he said.
Once the decision is issued a citizen or group could request a contested case hearing challenging a portion or all of the DNR's decision. The burden would be on the DNR to prove its decision complies with state and federal regulations.
Tax revenue from mining activity would be generated from the current tax on net profits to a gross tonnage tax. Local governments directly impacted would receive 70 percent of the revenue and 30 percent would go to a regional economic development council for distribution to local governments within 100 miles of a mining site.
The applicant would pay a $100,000 local impact fee that would be disbursed by a state board to affected communities once mining commences.

It features Web-based administration, surveys (polls), user-customizable boxes, a friendly administration GUI with a topic manager, an option to edit or delete stories, an option to delete comments, a search engine, backend/headlines generation (RSS/Atom format), calendaring, and much more.

The Following went out with a boom last night, bringing its first season to a conclusion that ratcheted up the body count and ended with an explosion and a final surprise that provided more questions than answers.
The first season of Fox's The Following comes to what's sure to be a terrifying and bloody conclusion Monday night (9/8c) — and even star James Purefoy, who plays escaped serial killer Joe Carroll, is unsure about what's going to happen.
"I don't know exactly how the show ends... read more
With all the twists and turns that have marked The Following's first season, we wouldn't be surprised if creator Kevin Williamson doesn't sneak in another twist in the show's final two episodes. Like... a mole in the FBI perhaps? We know Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) was able to infiltrate local law enforcement with Roderick (Warren Kole) and also put Molly (Jennifer Ferrin) in place to keep an eye on Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon). But who else is in on it? We break down the most likely suspects:
The FBI is within striking distance of Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) on The Following, but the greatest threat to Carroll's plan may be his own right-hand man, Roderick (Warren Kole). Though Roderick has FBI agents Debra Parker (Annie Parisse) and Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) convinced he's nothing more than a local sheriff heading into Monday's episode (9/8c, Fox), he won't be able to maintain the ruse for long.
"He's unraveling," The Following's Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) said of cult leader Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) in the most recent episode of Fox's serial killer drama.With Joe suffering from writer's block, dealing with incompetent followers, and realizing that the FBI is getting closer and closer to his hideout, it does seem like the demented web he's weaving is coming apart at the seams. And in Monday's new episode (9/8c, Fox), it becomes clearer than ever that things are not quite falling into place for the escaped serial killer.

Chapter 31 - Unity the Goal
BECAUSE I am often questioned on the subject, I should like to make a few comments about the origins of the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan and on the relation between it and the Japan Religions League.
The Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan was founded in 1951. In the period immediately following the close of World War II, religious freedom was granted to the people of Japan; and new religious organizations sprang up with great frequency and vitality. But the prevailing social trend was to ridicule and abuse these groups, even without attempting to understand what they were about. Banding together in the Japan Religions League, the older, more established religions were able to work together for their common benefit by conducting negotiations with the general headquarters of the Occupation authorities and with various Japanese governmental organs. The new religious organizations, however, were isolated from one another and were therefore open to attack from the press and from other branches of society. But as time passed, the new organizations became so important that the older world of Japanese religion could no longer ignore them. As the new groups grew in size and significance, the need for a body to unite them became pressing. The Occupation authorities found it difficult to remain in contact with these groups as long as they existed in isolation. At one point, the head of the Occupation's department of religious affairs approached Tokuchika Miki, president of the Perfect Liberty organization, with a proposal for the establishment of a liaison office for the new religious groups. By this time the new religious groups themselves had become aware of the need for a body that would work for their common advantage and their protection.
In August, 1951, the Perfect Liberty group, Rissho Kosei-kai, Sekai Kyusei-kyo, the Seicho-no-Ie Foundation, and Ishin-kai formed the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan. At about the same time, leaders of Ananai-kyo, Shuyodan Hosei-kai, Tenshin-do, Ishin-kai, and the Seicho-no-Ie Foundation met to make preparations to establish a joint body called the Japan League of New Religions. Later discussions between these two groups resulted in their amalgamation in the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan.
Prior to the formation of this union, Kosei-kai had participated in a council of organizations of the Nichiren Buddhist sect. This council, which included Nihonzan Myoho-ji Daisanga, Hokke-shu, Myochi-kai, Bussho Gonen-kai, and Myodo-kai, came into being for the sake of unity among various Nichiren groups because some religious bodies professing faith in the Lotus Sutra had been condemning other organizations professing faith in the same sutra as heretical and wicked.
I argued that the temple on Mount Minobu, as the head of Nichiren Buddhism, is responsible for indicating the teachings that can help followers understand the true spirit of Nichiren, the founder of the sect that bears his name. Mount Minobu must teach the way in which we are to interpret the Lotus Sutra and how we must behave in regard to the focus of devotion. But the council reacted coolly to my proposal and requested that I refrain from discussing unity in religious teachings and that I permit each religious organization to follow its own inclinations in such affairs.
I realize that the issue of teachings is of paramount importance and that unity in this issue is extremely difficult to achieve in a council. Nonetheless, I insist that a council lacking firmly established principles in matters of teachings sacrifices its major significance and strength. For me, it is an ideal and an unwavering article of faith that, though the ways in which it is expressed may vary, religious truth is and must be the same. Consequently, I believe that we ought to rally around the one truth and abandon petty differences; but I found no one at the Minobu council to agree with me.
If the other members of the council were going to hold out for the validity of the teachings of their individual groups, I gradually came to see that I had no choice but to do the same. Our members continued to make pilgrimages to Mount Minobu, and eighty households in the town of Minobu became members of Rissho Kosei-kai. This greatly enraged the authorities at Mount Minobu; and in 1950, we were reprimanded and accused of having led people in Minobu to forsake their affiliation with the Nichiren sect at Mount Minobu.
In the following year, we were visited by Shuten Oishi, of the Ministry of Education, in connection with the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan. Oishi called first on Tokuchika Miki, of the Perfect Liberty organization. But we all three met later and agreed on the desirability of forming an organization of new religious groups. I said at the time that if the organization made public the teachings of each member group and sponsored joint study programs it could come to have great significance. Miki objected that if teachings became a premise of our action we would be unlikely to achieve the unity we required. I could see his point. After all, even the members of the Nichiren sect had found it impossible to achieve unity in teachings among themselves. Obviously it would be much more difficult for an aggregation of diverse religious organizations to attain unity in such matters. Still, I felt that we all had much to teach each other and much to learn from each other. "All who see, hear, recognize, and know the sutra shall approach enlightenment."
The first step toward mutual discussion and learning is certainly the act of joining hands in unity. Because I was convinced that this is true, I decided that Rissho Kosei-kai should participate in the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan. Myoko Sensei objected that it would be a bad idea to join such an organization so soon after having been accused of undermining the Nichiren sect. The senior leaders of Kosei-kai agreed with her. Against this background of opposition, I nonetheless insisted on joining, though my hopes for success were not high at the time.
But events took a decided turn for the better. The union, which had started with only twenty-four member organizations, grew to sixty in a year. All but two or three of the major new religious organizations joined. Our hope was to make the union an organization that contributes to the creation of an ideal nation and a world of peace. This hope has grown stronger with the passing years.
The generally accepted view is that the public will pay no attention to a new religious federation for five or ten years after its foundation. The prejudice that new religions are cheats taking unfair advantage of people when they are weak is deep-rooted. But in the spring of 1952, less than a year after its founding, the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan was admitted to the Japan Religions League.
The Japan Religions League is an organization of Buddhist, Shinto, and Christian groups. During the war, it came under severe governmental control and later disbanded. In June of 1946, however, it got a fresh start with the goal of promoting close cooperation among Buddhist, Shinto, and Christian organizations for the sake of using development in religious movements in the building of Japanese culture and worldwide peace.
In January of 1965, the Religions Center was opened by the Japan Religions League. Some people have criticized this center for being politically inspired, but I am in favor of it. Today human beings are in danger of losing an important part of their humanity because of overemphasis of material well-being and underemphasis of spiritual values. The Religions Center can, I believe, accent the vital importance of a true spirit of religion and can contribute to the development of a national popular faith and to the further strengthening of religious cooperation. It is said in the Nirvana Sutra that the people who do not believe in the Buddha's Law and therefore fall into evil ways are comparable to the full expanse of the whole earth, whereas those who believe in the Buddha's Law and attain buddhahood are comparable to a patch of land no larger than a fingernail. The Religions Center is striving to improve this situation by bringing about the unification of all religions. It has already evoked responses from educators, parents' associations, the field of learning, and the financial world.
In April of 1969, I was elected chairman of the board of directors of the Japan Religions League, which, in 1970, sponsored the first World Conference on Religion and Peace. In spite of a tendency to regard it as something of a salon-conference, that meeting became a steppingstone for further growth. I am deeply grateful to the Japan Religions League for sponsoring it. As time passes, the Japan Religions League and the Union of the New Religious Organizations in Japan are increasing their usefulness as they continue to work in closer harmony.

Loading... City of Fallen Angels (Mortal Instruments, Book 4) (edition 2011)by Cassandra Clare
Work detailsCity of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. There are quite a few good and bad things about City of Fallen Angels. I felt that it was more of a "filler book" between City of Glass and City of Lost Souls. (I will admit that I have already read City of Lost Souls prior to writing this review. Oops.) Anyway, City of Fallen Angels is significantly thinner than City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, and City of Lost Souls, which further supports my reasoning behind it being the "filler book." It closely resembles a prologue to the events of City of Lost Souls, but of course there's far too much going on in City of Fallen Angels for it to be merely a prologue. And so, I will dissect CoFA and what I did and did not like. I did not like the strong focus on Simon. I'm a biased Simon hater, I guess. I don't like Simon. Even with the Mark of Cain, which makes him a little more bad ass, and being a vampire, which makes him a little less annoying teenage boy, I still firmly don't like him. I didn't like him in City of Bones and my opinion of him hasn't changed. I thought it would after it was established that Simon and Clary would remain no more than friends, and that Clary and Jace were truly together. But, no, it did not. I still really don't like him. City of Fallen Angels starts off with Simon and Isabelle meeting for coffee, and we spend a lot of time flashbacking with Simon. I struggled to get past this chapter, I won't lie, but I knew that it would get better because Simon couldn't be all their is. And he wasn't. I did like that City of Glass wasn't the final book. I'm really happy Clare decided to continue on with The Mortal Instruments. Unlike a lot of other books, which become repetitive after a while, I feel that The Mortal Instruments won't get that way. In books 1-3 we dealt with Valentine and his plans to wreck the Shadowhunters, or more the Clave, as they know it. He liked Shadowhunters, and didn't want to destroy them, but felt it was his destiny. No, in books 1-6 we'll be dealing with Sebastian and he's a thousand times colder than Valentine. He doesn't like Shadowhunters. In fact, he wants to create a race of advanced Shadowhunters that are really just part demon, which defeats the purpose of them being Shadowhunters at all. So Sebastian brings a whole new plot and problem to the table. I did not like Jace and Clary's relationship. As a "Clace" supporter, I did not like how Clary and Jace acted in City of Fallen Angels. Jace is becoming distant and struggling with his own internal battles, but instead of doing what he should (you know, confiding in the girl he says is the love of his life), he retreats from her. And then Clary retaliates by also ignoring Jace. Yes, communication. /sarcasm So I was just really annoyed with this whole situation because I felt it could have been resolved much sooner if Clary and Jace had just talked about it. But then that wouldn't make a good novel, and it wouldn't have been as long, so maybe my thoughts on this aren't exactly...right. They're also Clace biased. Y'know. I did like Magnus and did not like Alec. God, finally. Sometimes I think I love Magnus and Alec more than I like Clary and Jace, but this isn't true because Alec pisses me off way more than Clary. With the introduction of Camille, who is a very old and very beautiful vampire, we have Alec becoming a ridiculously jealous boyfriend. Instead of talking to Magnus about his feelings, he simply begins to shut Magnus out and get mad at him over nothing. Again with the whole lack of communication thing. I'm sensing a theme here..? I guess I just really like communication, especially since Magnus and Alec's relationship problems were minor and not really important to the plot, so it could have been resolved and talked about without effecting the rest of the novel. Then again, that wouldn't make for any fun or suspense while reading. I just became really pissed at Alec 90% of the time. Stop whining. I felt that City of Fallen Angels was a solid novel. Despite the choice things that I didn't like, I'm excited for the sixth book (since I already revealed to you I've read City of Lost Souls prior to this review). I think the new plot, with Sebastian as the antagonist who really just wants to take over the world with demons, presents a much darker theme than Valentine brought. Valentine wanted to create a new world of order, Sebastian wants to create a new world of destruction and death. I can definitely say the "second trilogy" of The Mortal Instruments is darker, and less people are surviving. I know I'll be pissed if Clare kills off anyone I've grown truly attached to. Authors always tend to do that to me, I think. (Well...not to me. But.) Overall, a 3.7/5 because this book was pretty much pointless considering the plot, but what I did like, it was because I can't get enough of the TMI characters, and a new addition (Jordan Kyle) made an excellent mix. Started liking some characters more than others (Simon), while disliking others who I always loved (Jace, get your act together!) Other than that, this book is a great read for those who WANT to continue on with the stories of Jace, Magnus, Alec and others, but I would personally suggest that if you are content with the way City of Glass ended, you don't have to continue onward. Be prepared for less action and more childish angst. The full review is at http://incompletetales.tumblr.com/post/5977983152/city-of-fallen-angels-review, love for you to visit :) Ive been reading this series one book after another so the story is all knitting together very nicely. I really liked this installment in the series however the pace of the book has defiantly slowed down a bit. I still love the characters and in this book it they each come to their own realizations of their futures which is present in the other books but not quite as prominent. Simon realizes he's really going to live forever and watch as his friends grow old and die leaving him alone and still trapped in the body of a 16 year old. Izzy finally realises how she really feels about Simon, Alec also realizes that Magnus will live on forever and he will not. So the emotions are quite different in this book. The action takes a side step and its not until the end chapter where it gets to the main plot and everything happens. So again another fab book and i cant wait to get on with No.5 love it By the time you get to this book in the Mortal Instruments series, Clary and Simon have grown into themselves. When Simon is propositioned to joined forces with Camille, one of the original vampires, and Jace has nightmares about stabbing Clary, Clary must join forces with Isabelle and Magnus in figuring out what is happening. The adventure continues in this tale of good versus evil. no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. As mysterious murders threaten the new peace between Shadowhunters and Downworlders, only Simon, the Daylighter vampire, can help bring both groups together. (summary from another edition) |
