When I first told friends and colleagues about my new book Why Catholics Are Right, they were intrigued by the proposed content but disturbed by the title: "Sounds a little proud"; "Is that sufficiently conciliatory for these progressive and pluralistic days?"; and "You ought to be careful because it might offend people."
Which is odd. When I suggested to them titles for other books by other people such as Why Liberals Are Right, Why Conservatives Are Right, even Why Muslims Are Right, and especially Why Atheists Are Right, they thought them entirely reasonable and unlikely to cause any problems at all.
To believe something is, self-evidently, not to believe something that is its contrary. So obvious is this that it is not questioned and seems a taken-for-granted truth about most subjects. It is, after all, just common sense. But to claim that being an authentic Roman Catholic necessitates believing that Roman Catholicism is correct positively terrifies many modern men and women, as though a Catholic claiming to be right was some terrible sin. Not that many of these people believe in sin of course.
The implication – that being Catholic means, well, being Catholic and leads to the persecution or killing of others who are not Catholic – is naturally insulting. But as we know – and I think the critics really do as well – being Catholic means nothing of the sort. Still, it usually takes only a few moments during a disagreement for someone to bring up the days when Catholics did indeed give their opponents a hard time, as though in all of history only Catholics have ever got that wrong or even just acted like most people in earlier ages.
So I kept the title for a specific reason: to oblige and demand a certain clarity from readers. I'm a Catholic and believe in Catholicism. And thus I believe that people who disagree with my beliefs are wrong. I do not dislike them – or at least don't dislike all of them – nor do I wish to hurt them, even those who wish to hurt me and will probably wish to hurt me even more after they read this book, pretend to read it, or read nasty reviews of it.
I do, however, want these readers to consider what I have to say and not to abuse my beliefs in a manner and with a harshness that they would not dream of using against almost any other creed or religion. It might be a romantic hope, but hope is a theological virtue, one of those Catholic qualities we like to think of as important and helpful.
Having said this, there are degrees of wrongness. Some people are only slightly wrong, others wrong most of the time and to a shocking degree. Non-Catholic Christians and in particular serious Evangelicals and Eastern Orthodox believers are examples of the former. Many of them could teach Catholics a great deal about love, charity, and devotion to God.
Alleged Christians who want to edit rather than follow Christ, professional atheists who flood the Internet with their obsessions, and part-time Catholic-bashers are in the latter camp.
Which brings me to the anti-Catholicism that has become the last acceptable prejudice in what passes for polite society and has become so obvious and so pronounced that even to point out the fact seems almost banal. We have all heard comments about Catholics that, applied to almost any other group, would simply not be tolerated. It's bad enough when this is street conversation and pointless gossip, far worse when it passes for informed comment in allegedly serious newspapers.
British historian and biographer Christopher Hibbert put it well when he said that historically the pope had been thought of as, "an unseen, ghost-like enemy, lurking behind clouds of wicked incense in a Satanic southern city called Rome." In much of contemporary Anglo-Saxon culture, as well as the greater modern world, this perverse caricature has found a second wind.
As you can see, my book was written out of experience as well as research. My experience has taught me that attacks usually begin with the history, then with a misunderstanding of what the Church believes and teaches, then with angry comments about why the Church is so "obsessed" with the life issues and then a whole bunch of criticisms. These days, tragically, the Catholic clergy abuse scandal is thrown in somewhere. It has to be discussed – but honestly and accurately.
The rest of the punches thrown at the Catholic body? The Church was nasty to Galileo; the Church tried to convert Muslims, and the Crusades were horrible; Hitler was a Catholic and the pope was a Nazi; the Inquisition slaughtered millions of people; the Church is rich and does nothing for the poor; children were abused and the Vatican knew about it all and did nothing; celibacy leads to perversion; Catholics worship statues; Catholics believe the pope is infallible and can never do anything wrong; and so on and so on and so on.
It's all nonsense. Yet nonsense that is given a veneer of credibility by thinking people who shape opinion. All this makes the Church unique in the twenty-first century as a victim institution. In almost every other area, we've matured as a people and a culture to the point where such crass generalizations and fundamentally flawed opinions would not make it past the alehouse door.
I am often driven to say to the mass of uninformed critics: think and agree, think and disagree, think whatever you like. But in the name of God and the Church He left us, please think!
The Catholic Thing welcomes comments, which should reflect a sense of brevity and a spirit of Christian civility, and which, as discretion indicates, we reserve the right to publish or not. And, please, do not include links to other websites; we simply haven't time to check them all.

A review of the film "3 Days To Kill."
This weekend movie review is going to be relatively short mainly because there was not a whole lot of content that came out of this weekend's review, 3 Days to Kill. It was safe to presume that this film's preview could have been Kevin Costner's version of "Taken." However, this film falls short of that presumption and would end up on the lower end of a scale if I ever choose to use one. The only good thing that came from this film was how they deceived the audience into thinking it would be good to watch.
"3 Days To Kill" can be assumed that the lead character, Ethan Runner, has for the title's sake, three days to kill. He does, but not in the manner in which one was first led to believe. No, it's three days spent to reconnect with his daughter. The film continued to spiral out of control. It twisted and turned into something that just shattered in the end. So much so that the only thing I looked forward to in the film was the random appearances by Amber Heard.
It seemed like the director took really bad notes from M. Night Shyamalan films and mixed it with random story lines from assorted action movies. I should have used my sixth sense and went with the slightly higher rated film, Pompeii. Then again, I was not in the mood for a history lesson with a sappy love story.
I wish there was more to say about this film, but it wouldn't be worth the read. I asked WOWT photographer Justin Cheney's thoughts of the film based off the trailer. I wish I had him around to tell me his thoughts before I went out to watch this movie. Hopefully, next weekend's movie experience will be better.
The views and opinions expressed on this review are solely those of the original author and other contributors.

My Blog
John Embry continues:
"You have to remember that until the 1980s, virtually all of the mining in the world was underground mining, and the grades were a lot higher than they are now. This is because a lot of the gold that was easy to mine has already been mined and we are having to go deeper and deeper.
Then we had heap leaching which was the revolution in the 1980s. So consequently, a lot of these close to the surface, very low-grade ore bodies were able to be exploited by heap leaching. This led to a very large increase in the amount of production....
Continue reading the John Embry interview below...
To hear what billionaire Eric Sprott & Rick Rule are doing with their own
money and which $10 billion company John Embry &
Dr. Marc Faber oversee click on the logo:
"The whole dynamic of the industry changed for a while. The problem now is that the easy to exploit heap leaching opportunities around the world have already been exploited. So a lot of the developments that started back in the 80s and 90s are running out.
The industry is faced with the daunting challenge of replacing all of these sites which are going out of production in the next few years. I don't believe we are going to be able to find enough new ore bodies to exploit, in order to replace the production going offline.
So I totally concur with Keith Barron on the idea that gold production could fall quite significantly over the next five to ten years, irrespective of what the gold price does. To be fair, if the gold price were to go to $10,000, which is possible, then down the road you might be able to get some increased production.
But that's something that's in the future. We are just talking about what's reasonable in the next five to ten years, and in my opinion gold production is going nowhere but down. Keith could be right that production will collapse.
What's important to understand, Eric, is that the gold price has been seriously suppressed. One of the reasons gold stocks have been under pressure is the fact that they are reporting terrible results. They are reporting terrible results because the gold price is too low and the costs related to mining have gone up a lot.
Even though the price of gold has gone from $250 to $1,700, it's still an uneconomic business. We probably need $3,000 gold based on current costs to get a really robust rate of return. Gold mining deserves a really robust rate of return because it's an extremely hard and risky business.
I find it fascinating that they just beat the heck out of all of these gold stocks because there have been some lousy earnings reports. I've always believed that stocks are discounting mechanisms, and I believe gold prices are going dramatically higher. So investors should be looking at the earnings potential of these things down the road, not worrying about what they are doing now.
I think the most recent correction in the mining stocks was preposterous, and it has created an even better buying opportunity. But most people, because they don't understand the fundamentals, are getting spooked out of them.
So Keith Barron is correct because the problem is twofold: Existing production is going to go down a lot. So for the major mining companies, to achieve growth, not only are they going to have to replace existing production, which will fall significantly, but they will have to replace that plus even more development.
The problem is that with the current gold price and what has taken place in the share environment, I don't see any possibility of that taking place. One of the great pieces of misinformation that has been spread by the agents of the people suppressing the price of gold, is that at these higher gold prices we would experience a boom in gold mining. Nothing could be further from the truth."
Embry also added: "If you stop to think about it, Eric, the fact that the gold price is currently $170 lower at the end of August of one year ago, given what has gone on with respect to QEs, wars, and financial implosions, it's preposterous that the gold price is where it is.
But it shows the power of paper, and that's the reason we have all of these derivatives because you can control markets quite effectively, until you can't. At that point the price of gold is going to go crazy. Thing about the fact that the shadow banking system is $67 trillion, and the leverage that creates in the system. I just think that the 'end' of this is going to be horrific."

Today John Embry spoke with King World News about the the $67 trillion shadow banking system, $10,000 gold, and how this will all end. Here is what Embry, who is chief investment strategist at Sprott Asset Management, had to say: "I'm a big admirer of Keith Barron because I was big player in his company, Aurelian. I think he's a very smart guy and he understands the business extremely well. I agree with him that gold production is headed for a big decline going forward."

Jeff may not be the only Kent flashing his super skill in Los Angeles.
Last week, director Bryan Singer ("X-Men") turned Dodger Stadium into a set piece for the upcoming film "Superman Returns."
According to reports on the Blue Tights Network, three different baseball games were being filmed for a very critical scene, though reports said it was only second-unit filming and not principal photography. None of the lead actors were on hand, and most of the filming is taking place in Australia.
The site iesb.com updated the information Friday, reporting the director used real minor league and college baseball players. The batter, catcher and umpire were all reacting and looking towards center field as if something was coming down. According to a stadium employee, the script calls for plane to crash on the field and Superman saves the day.
"Superman Returns" is scheduled for release next summer.
Beerleaguer take
Superman is definitely worth an update, and with Bryan Singer at the controls, I expect "Superman Returns" to be pretty darn good. If more details become available, I'll pass them along. Beerleaguer.com is proud to be the official Phillies blog of the new Superman movie.
An interesting Hollywood-meets-Phillies sidenote: Former Reading Phillie Walter Dawkins played Wesley Snipes' butt and body double in the film "The Fan." Dawkins was drafted in the 15th round by the Phillies in the June 1995 amateur draft and played in Reading from 1996 to 1998.

After his success as animation director on Who Framed Roger Rabbit he was finally able to get studio financing to take The Thief from a career spanning side project to full-blown production. A stolid perfectionist, costs mounted and deadlines loomed with Williams at the helm, and Warner's eventually pulled out when Disney announced the similarly themed Aladdin.
With funding gone, the film was taken from Williams by his creditors and was completed by others (under the leadership of Fred Calvert), cheaply and poorly while making massive changes to try to make it more mainstream. This version only saw release in Australia and South Africa, as The Princess and the Cobbler. Later Disney bought it and heavily edited it again, in such a way as to make it appear a cheap knockoff of Aladdin (instead of the film that's largely believed to be the greatest inspiration behind Disney's film), while making it almost unwatchable in the process. Released as Arabian Knight, it was a travesty.
This Recobbed Cut is a recent fan-created reconstruction of the film as Williams wanted it, or as close to as possible. Based on a workprint of the film from when Williams was nearing completion (shortly before the film was taken away from him). Using the workprint, DVDs of the two officially released cuts of the film, and other related elements taken from various sources this Recobbed Cut reveals the masterpiece that could have been.
This new version, Recobbled Cut Mark II, has been compiled after a widescreen version of The Princess and the Cobbler surfaced shortly after this version became widely available online. This was such a huge find that Garrett felt compelled to recobbled it once again, incorporating more of the fully animated widescreen material that he just didn't have before.
The scenes which are most affected are the witch and war machine scenes, which have been improved in quality.
Also added – more "Deleted Characters" footage of the Mullah Nasrudin and the Enchanted Ogre Prince.

Purchasing a Walk-In Shower Kit
Add a shower to your bathroom with an all-inclusive kit
By Glyn Sheridan
Nothing feels better than a warm, invigorating shower to start your day. A walk-in shower is an independent unit with a drain, hot and cold water faucets, and one or more showerheads. Unlike a tub/shower combination, a walk-in shower does not retain water in the base. With numerous kits on the market in a variety of styles, you can choose one that suits your taste, but pay close attention to the product specifications and any special installation requirements.
- What You Need to Know
- In order to install a shower kit, you will first need a drain in your bathroom.
- A quality shower kit should include all of the components required to install a watertight shower assembly, without having to make your own mortar bed.
- The shower door may not come with some shower kits.
- You'll need a sketch of your bathroom, complete with the dimensions, when you're ready to purchase a walk-in shower.
- Shower kits are extremely heavy and cumberson, so bring a large vehicle to take one home or, better yet, ask if your store offers delivery.
Step 1:
View shower kits that meet your floor plan requirements. While the interior of the shower will determine how much room the occupant has to turn around and suds up, it is not the dimension used in determining how much floor space you need. On the shower carton, or on the manufacturer's detail sheet, you will find the "framing dimensions." These measurements tell you exactly how much room the shower will occupy in your bathroom.
Step 2:
Purchase a one-piece walk-in shower kit for new construction and a multiple-piece kit for a remodeling project. While a one-piece kit offers the greatest protection against water leaks, because there are no panels to fit together, it may be too big to fit through finished doorways. In a new home, purchase a one-piece kit and move the carton into the future bathroom before the builder frames the walls.
Step 3:
Notice the orientation of the shower. You may see either "right hand" or "left hand" on the detail sheet. This indicates which direction the shower door will open. Consider ease of entry and exit when choosing an orientation. In addition, note the acceptable placement of the water supply faucets and the showerhead. If the holes are pre-drilled, they should be on the same side of the shower as your current plumbing configuration.
Step 4:
Choose the extras that will enhance your showering experience. If the shower is large, you might enjoy a fold-down seat for relaxation or shower-shaving. If you want to experience the sensation of more than one showerhead, the time to buy the additional heads is when you purchase the shower.
Step 5:
Upload your bathroom floor plan if you're buying a walk-in shower kit online. Shopping online can save you money and you will have a greater number of kit choices, but deal directly with a knowledgeable installation agent who can spot potential problems and make suggestions before you buy.
- Tips & Warnings
- Consult a plumber about installing new pipes if you are not using existing plumbing.
- Returning a large shower kit is a tremendous hassle, so read the manufacturer's detail sheet carefully before you buy.
- If you modify the shower kit during installation, such as changing the drain configuration, it may void your warranty.

So, my weekly pug of ICC lucked out this week and grabbed somebody who was eligible for Heroic mode, so naturally, we hit up some Heroic Gunship action. Well, some fairly swank loot dropped - including Heroic Bonegaurd Commander's Pauldrons.
Now, up until now, I've been using my tier set for Shoulders (and head) for the 2p bonus, as I've always been under the impression the tier 2p bonus was very much worth having (Regular t10, not sanctified).
So my question is, what do I do? To hell with the tier set bonus or downgrade something else to get it back?...

awesome tutorial! I love orchids but they've always died, and I didn't know how to revive them.. Thanks, I'll try again. You make it look so easy.ReplyDelete
xo Nancy
Great info....I'm gonna have to run out & buy some orchids now. I always threw them out when all the blooms fell off!ReplyDelete
Fabulous info. I stupidly cut my stalk. Now I am just watering leaves that are growing.....but I will up the water, as I am watering so little! It has been a year so I hope something will happen sooon!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's ok to completely cut your stalk - I did that to the one pictured with the flower now because it was super dead. Growing new leaves means that your orchid is regenerating!! If you up your watering a little bit, I bet you will have a new stalk start to shoot in no time! Just keep being patient, and watch for one to pop out somewhere between the leaves - as soon as it it long enough to clip to a wire/dowel, do so so that it continues growing upward.Delete
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this...I have two of these and have been wondering how to bring them back to life! :)ReplyDelete
ah, alas, I have never been able to keep an orchid alive, these are great tips!!ReplyDelete
I've always thought orchids would be far too hard for me to keep alive but this seems fairly straightforward. Might have to give it a try! Thanks for the tips xxReplyDelete
Anna (My Design Ethos)
Wow-a fellow black thumb who revived an orchid! I have killed 3. I am printing this so I can attempt to have a 4th.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the step by step instructions.
What if the leaves have died? Is it then beyond hope?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Juanita,Delete
I wish I had better advice - but from what I have read online - if the leaves are dead, its probably better to get a new one :)

Ford is hard at work on a refresh for the Fiesta, and thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we're now getting our first glimpses of the subcompact's new schnoz. It appears as though the car's somewhat cutesy face will now have a more aggressive shape, complete with smaller headlamps that integrate LED running lights – which appears to be right in line with the revised design language seen on the all-new 2013 Fusion.
It's unclear exactly what other changes are in store for the next Fiesta, though reports have suggested that EcoBoost power may soon be found underhood. Ford has long stated that it plans to incorporate EcoBoost powertrains into the vast majority of its vehicles, and the Fiesta would be a seemingly perfect home for the recently launched 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo. In the European-spec Focus, this engine is available with either 99 or 118 horsepower and a respectable 125 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current Fiesta's 1.6-liter inline-four pumps out 120 hp and 112 lb-ft.
Scroll through our attached high-res image gallery to see the facelifted Fiesta blasting through the snow undergoing winter testing and stay tuned for more details.

July 1, 2013 I feel the need to applaud Sunrise Preschools!!!! My daughter, little Miss Nevaeh Davis, just loves her school. For most of her life, when I was not with her, she was in the care of my mother, family or close friends. Most of her social situations were likewise with family and close friends. I was very worried that when she started school at Sunrise Preschool that she would be scared or shy because of that fact. It was the complete opposite. She has just Blossomed! She has learned colors, shapes, animals, places and much, much more and likewise is ready to tell everyone about it. She loves to read, even if she does not quite know how, but she does so anyway in her Very Beautiful Little Girl way. There is no way to put into words how much her new-found confidence and love of school means to me. We all know what it means to her because it shows in her precious little face as it lights up when she talks about the teachers and friends she has at school. Many Thanks and CUDOS to you Sunrise Preschools!!! Barbara Davis
My husband and I are very pleased to find out how wonderful the staff Sunrise Preschool in Goodyear, AZ is when caring for our 2 boys. They are attentive, fair, unbiased and understanding with them and give them the nurturing discipline they need to become well behaved little boys. We appreciate the open relationship we have with their teachers. This allows us to give them information which will help them understand and better interact with them when they are dealing with issues. They are also excellent at informing us of situations that arise at school that need to also be dealt with at home. We believe that as long as we stick together when it comes to open communication about our boys, they will have the extraordinary care they deserve! We would recommend any parent looking for this type of care to visit Sunrise Preschool in Goodyear, AZ and we thank them for everything they do for not only our boys, but for us also.
The staff at Sunrise is very encouraging to the children. They show the children they care about them by encouraging them to do their best. My kids love the time they get to be creative with art and dramatic play.

- NoviDined on 11/21/2014I had to keep on extending my reservation due to the flight delay at Love Field, they were very understaning of my need, and very polite. Our waiter Richard he was a plus, what a great asset for a company to have? I would recommend this place and most def will come back soon !!!Special Features:
- Bodhi is the best.HauteCuisineVIPDined on 11/7/2014The head chef, Bodhi, puts dishes together that are flavorful and fun. His creativity helps make Kenichi the best sushi/Asian fusion restaurant in Texas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible service.SushiLoverDined on 11/2/2014Having gone to the Kenichi in Austin, I booked a dinner for 6 for my birthday, requesting the special booth they tout on their website a week in advanced. When I arrived, they'd given the booth away and there was nothing done to make up for it despite the fact we were celebratig an occasion. Our server was slow to wait on us and was condescending- even though there was almost no one in the resturaunt. Even though the food was good, it didn't make up for the aweful service. I won't be back and neither will any of those people in my party. I'd give 0 stars for service if I could.
- Very nice place!!!soldierpageDined on 10/29/2014Took my girlfriend here for her birthday was very romantic and they even gave her free piece of ice cream cake!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FindMasonVIPDined on 10/18/2014the food was excellent and the service was very good. The portions were a little small.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not great valuedalgalDined on 9/29/2014The sushi was decent, but was overpriced. There are plenty of sushi restaurants relatively nearby that have the same quality for a better value. The hot sakes were terrible.
- Fab!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/27/2014great dining experience, and good ambiance...waiter had some amazing recommendations and even gave us a complimentary anniversary dessert!Special Features:
- Terrible serviceLewisandClarkDined on 9/26/2014Not sure what was going on but the Hostess was not only seating patrons but she was also cleaning tables. Due to this it took 15 minutes for us to be seated. Another 10 minutes before we were greeted by out waiter. Will not return. Too expensive for this type of service.
- terrible serviceDallasGirl11VIPDined on 9/26/2014We sat in the very back table - behind the curtain and it's like they forgot about us. Our first round of drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive. We ordered apps the same time as our drinks and they never arrived and we had to re-order. Our server told us "it is about to get really busy so order asap" and we did and they never brought it. By the time our food arrived, we were rushing out to make the Tom Petty concert. For the amount of money we spent, it was not worth it. I have been a patron here many times and this makes me not want to go back. Too many other fun places with better service in the area! I suggest you sit at a table where you are in plain sight of the servers :)Special Features:
- Great PeopleHauteCuisineVIPDined on 9/20/2014The chef, sushi chef, waitstaff and hostess are fantastic. The sushi is fresh and flavorful, the lamb chops are better than the ones that I eat in Greece.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, poor servicedsjkVIPDined on 9/20/2014Sushi is all I would go here for. It was excellent as usual. Everything else was ok but nothing special compared to other similar places and not as good as in past. Service was poor. Sides didn't come out with dinner. Appeared they weren't ordered. Waitress disappeared for long periods. Didn't bring cream with coffee as asked. When we pointed out missing things, they took prolonged times to arrive. Brought us the check for another table. Didn't appear overly busy or otherwise occupied. Very odd night & experience. I brought out of town guests to entertain. I was embarrassed. Unless you are looking for good sushi near American Airlines Center, I would go elsewhere.
- ScoobyDined on 9/13/2014Dinner was very relaxing. The curtain booth's are perfect to keep the noise level down & great way to have good conversation.Special Features:
- Best sushi I've had in awhileSushiloverDined on 9/6/2014Our server's name was Richard and he was awesome!!! He answered all our questions and was very knowledgable about everything on the menu. He had us sold on all the special sushi they had and we ordered extra! :) overall great experience and sushi!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible service, unimpressive fooddallasiteDined on 8/24/2014My boyfriend and I came here to use a TravelZoo deal. We got there at about 6:20pm on a Sunday night and the restaurant was pretty empty so we were excited to have a quick and delicious meal. Despite the emptiness, however, our waiter was impossible to pin down. When he wasn't hiding in the back, he was racing past our table as if the restaurant was completely full. The Blake and Friday Night sushi rolls were so boring and bland. We ordered the chocolate lava cake for dessert (after finally waving down our waiter, who had been avoiding us for 30 minutes) and he said it took 10 minutes to make the cake. 30 minutes later, we got our dessert. Our dinner in a nearly empty restaurant took 2 hours, which is absolutely absurd. We will not return.
- food good/bad drinksOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014Ordered a cosmo that tasted like medicine and then changed it to a 'margarita', we went for restaurant week, 1st and 2nd course delicious, dessert didnt like, ice cream too sweet and donut had a weird texture. It was also very hot in the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Selective customer service???usuallyalurkerDined on 8/22/2014In summary, how can you say you're not serving Restaurant Week food when you signed up for it, the Restaurant Week Menu is blatantly on your menu, AND you end up serving Restaurant Week food to people BEFORE us as well as AFTER we walked out on you? Now, this is the MANAGER telling us this! We did NOTHING to annoy you except say our group of 5 was here for Restaurant Week. One of my colleagues is ready to call out racial/gender discrimination. No wonder your reviews have plummeted recently. I RARELY leave reviews, but have been so upset and angry enough to be compelled to write this. I have plenty more to say but don't feel you deserve anymore of my time. I do apologize to the waiter for having to bear the brunt of our anger, though.
- Restaurant WeekChrisDined on 8/21/2014Six of us went to Kenichi as apart of Restaurant Week and were overall pleased with our decision. The food was good but the portions were very small. Most of us also ordered off the regular menu as the restaurant week one seem to change/ just did not sound great. The best plate we ordered was the Friday Night and my friends actually order a couple more after their small portioned entree. Also don't forget to request fresh wasabi as that too was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!GonzaloVIPDined on 8/19/2014Kenichi never fails...the sushi is amazing, the other entrees (lobster is incredible) as well and the drinks and wine selection is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week - First Time VisitlaurawattersDined on 8/19/2014We went with another couple. None of us had been there before. The person who walked us to our table - talked on the phone the entire walk to our table (different - and a little aloof). Our Waitress was top notch - she worked hard with us to make sure we had all questions answered. Appetizers were outstanding, the main course, steak was a little tough (was very surprised), the flavor was outstanding, the dessert was out of this world.Special Features:
- Very Good CuisineMichaelDined on 8/17/2014Everything was nicely prepared and tasty. Tried seafood and beef and all were very good.Special Features:
- LucyDined on 8/17/2014The dishes are exquisite and tasty, but the portions are small!Special Features:
- stick to the sushiOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/14/2014We went for restaurant week, as our return visit, and the sushi is amazing, as expected! hubs ordered the surf and turf and the steak was not good. no flavor and tough. stick to the sushi!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful evening!RobertaBDined on 8/13/2014We were a party of 5 and were seated in an alcove so it was so easy to have a nice conversation. The food and service were impeccable.Special Features:
- Restaurant week at KenichiJoAnnDined on 8/11/2014my husband and I enjoyed our dinner at Kenichi during restaurant week. The service was great and the food was fantastic. However the servings were rather small and we were still hungry when we left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/9/2014I found the sushi options and quality to be below expectations, especially for a Japanese restaurant. Fish didn't seem that high quality, and some of their unique rolls seemed strange in taste (due to combinations). The Miso cod was the exception - wonderful. However, their steaks were excellent, and their desserts. I would recommend their miso cod, cowboy ribeye, and tempura ice cream.
- The following 593 reviews are from the Kenichi - Dallas reviews archive.
- Not for meCoveyDined on 7/19/2014After reading mixed reviews online, I was interested in trying this place. The food was good, but not good enough for the prices. $20 for a sushi roll that isn't the best is too pricey. The service was slow and I had to track down my server to get the bill. I won't go back.Special Features:
- Food was ok, great sittingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/21/2014Limited choices of seafood, steak was the best item of the night, nothing special on dessertsSpecial Features:
- Good Food/Nice ServiceHemiGlock21Dined on 6/11/2014We enjoyed it. It's expensive, but worth it. It's a nice place for a special occasion. the sushi is tasty, but they don't have paper menus where you can make the order for the table like every other sushi place in the world. Overall, it's still worth a visit.Special Features:
- Best Asian Food Ever!RestaurantDivaDined on 6/8/2014We went for my son's 21st birthday at his suggestion. He said they have the best sushi he's ever had. We ordered the Thai Basil Fried Rice to share and everyone ordered a different type of sushi and I had the wild salmon. The rice was the best I've ever had, the salmon was unbelievable. The entire time I was thinking this place has got the best chefs in town. My husband, son and daughter loved their sushi, they each ordered something different. We all agreed the rice was heaven sent. We will definitely go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service!LisaDined on 6/7/2014We went with a party of eight and tried many appetizers and all enjoyed an entrée. The sushi is outstanding and the fried green beans incredible. Atmosphere was modern and nice. Noise level a bit high for a group of eight but it did work. Only complaint is that we were all drinking red wine and they only had two bottles of our favorite. Waiter was attentive and always there when we needed him. Overall, great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MehleahVIPDined on 6/5/2014Menu has never changed. Food spilled on menus. Been going here for years after visiting the one in aspen many years ago. They need to change it up. Won't be going back. End of an era.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/30/2014Fantastic flavor combinations, always fresh. When we asked various members of the staff what their favorite menu item is, they knew right away the answer and made a good case as to why we would want to try it on our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good date nightOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/17/2014Took my husband here for his 30th birthday. The food was really good. Sushi rolls weren't the best but the sashimi was excellent. Sea weed salad is also very yummy. took a while to get our food but overall it was a fun dining experience. They gave my husband a special treat for his birthday and it was delicious! We got a private booth which was fun but the curtains were really dirty which made our fancy dining not seem so fancy. They need to wash the curtains and clean the booths or have them reupholstered.Special Features:
- TvisDined on 5/17/2014The food was good, but not amazing. Almost all of the sashimi specials on the menu are at least partially, if not fully, cooked, which defeats the purpose of ordering sashimi. The sashimi special that we ordered, the yellowtail grilled fish collar shio-yaki style was an excellent dish despite it's categorization. The fish was salty, but not salt encrusted, like we feared, and very light. The ton gyoza was an excellent starter sweet and salty. The best bites had bits of both the cherry and the gyoza. However, there were not enough cherries to go with every bite. After tasting the dumplings with the cherries, they seemed to be missing something without them. These two dishes were good, but the meal was not at the level of what we expected.
- Love KenichimshepardDined on 5/9/2014We were lucky enough to have Richard as our waiter, he is always great and provides perfect wine and dish recommendations. We had the Hamachi Collar grilled with a little salt and pepper, what a treat!iSpecial Features:
- Good time and foodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 5/3/2014Had a great time. Food was good. The sushi side of the menu seems light. Not a large selection of rolls. But everything was we had was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool place. Great service.DallasdinerDined on 4/11/2014We had several rolls. They were good but not great. The extremely salty soy sauce detracted from the quality of the food. Recommend the "mean green" roll. Drinks were very good too.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Sushi in town!OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 4/11/2014We had a fab night at Kenichi with great service and fantastic food. It was only disappointing that they had no mackeral but the quality of the tuna and salmon more than made up for itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect food...sauces..AMAZINGtcbooth98Dined on 4/8/2014Great food, great atmosphere...we drive downtown from the 'burbs for this restaurant...Bhodi, an extraordinary executive chef, has crafted dishes that are some of the best in Dallas. Must try: the Dynamite shrimp or Lobster, the Kobe beef (perfect), spicy edimame, and a personal favorite; the toasty, crunchy and totally unexpected tofu...just amazing all the way around. You absolutely will fall for this place.Special Features:
- Always Enjoyable!Des2013VIPDined on 4/5/2014The food is consistently amazing at Kenichi! We enjoyed a sake sampler which was well worth the price and the education as the sake sommelier customized our drink selections based on our food selection and personal preferences. He really made the overall evening a true dining experience.Special Features:

TranscriptQuestion: Why has crime, generally, declined over the past 20 years?
Robert Perkinson: We have seen a historic decline in crime all through the 1990's. It has not yet in a very significant way picked up with this recession. We've seen, and this is very important for people to realize, crime rates in some cases drop more steeply in states that have not incarcerated such huge portions of their populations. One of the steepest declines has been in New York City, which has sent a whole lot of people to jail on Rockefeller drug laws, but nothing like the South. And yet crime in New York has fallen much more steeply then in Houston or Dallas. So the crime drop is a great riddle for social scientists to figure out, but critically, at least I think it's important for people to know that the massive growth of incarceration is, we think, not one of the largest determining factors in decreasing that crime. Incarceration has been going up straight since the 1970's.
In some of the periods incarceration has been going up crime has been going up, other times down. But there is not a clear correlation between incarceration and protecting the public. In fact, one of the statistics you would think you would have gotten if you believe in a kind of weak version of deterrence, you would think that all of these harsher penalties would at least deter some of the people who know the criminal justice system best—criminals and former prisoners—from committing crimes. Because they do become, even if their levels of education attainment are somewhat limited, through being cranked through the criminal justice system, they learn a lot of the criminal law and they know the penalties are very harsh. So if deterrence were to work and if imprisonment was an effective way to deal with crime, you would think that recidivism rates in the United States would be lower now than they were when the prison boom began, when penalties were comparably more mild. Instead, the opposite has occurred, recidivism rates have gone up. One more piece of evidence that shows this experiment in mass incarceration has been one the one hand a total failure in terms of protecting the public. On the other hand a catastrophe for the weakest members of our... the most vulnerable members of our society, including those who are more victimized by crime. That's also in the poor neighborhoods. It hasn't helped them in any way. Their people are getting shipped off to rural prisons and then those rural prisons are getting the census money and so on, and they are still suffering high rates of crime. So, it's a mess, I'm afraid.
Question: Is the monetary cost of incarceration less than the cost of crime?
Robert Perkinson: People have tried. It's harder to do than people have claimed. Some economists have said, well even if you are spending $50,000 a year to lock someone up, as is the price in California where the corrections officers are well paid, because that person you are putting behind bars would have committed 'X' number of crimes, then you're actually saving money. But those studies kind of fall apart for a whole series of reasons. They're based on surveys of certain classes of criminals that don't correlate very well to who is actually in prison. They don't take into account the ways that crime can't just be thought of as a subtraction from the economy. I mean as strange as it sounds... If I steal $100 from you, that doesn't decrease the GDP of the United States, that just means that I have $100 to spend and generate economic activity and you don't. So, it's not a subtraction, it's not a cost to society, it's a cost to you. It's not a cost to society.
So those studies don't hold up very well. I mean, it's true that I think, you know, that incarceration is not something that we're going to be able to get rid of entirely. There are people who are extremely dangerous. A very small portion, it's important to realize. We think that prison beds are filled with dangerous sexual predators and armed robbers and serial killers because that's how it seems watching the nightly news. That's not the case. Most people going into prison are non-violent offenders in a given year, and most of them are drug offenders, or are hooked on alcohol and so on.

1996 Chateau Valandraud
"Unfined and unfiltered, this viscous wine displays the tell-tale thickness of color (saturated dark ruby/plum/purple). The wine's exotic bouquet is just beginning to form, offering up notes of iodine, roasted coffee, jammy black fruits, and pain grille. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannin, terrific texture, and outstanding purity and length." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

Annuity service for small pots
Helm Godfrey is offering an annuity advice service for people with small pension pots.
The adviser firm's iRetire service offers customers with pension pots of £20,000 or more advice on their retirement options.
Helm Godfrey has also partnered with MorganAsh, which will provide an enhanced annuity shopping-around service to iRetire customers.
Managing director Graham Cross says: "You only have to switch on the news or pick up a paper to realise there is need for a service like iRetire.
"We can help people get the most out of their pension pots, even if they have as little as £20,000 saved.
"Our enhanced annuity service should deliver a meaningful pick-up in retirement income for many people."
In December, the Association of British Insurers outlined details of a new code of conduct for pension providers designed to encourage more people to shop around for an annuity.
In January, Baroness Sally Greengross and enhanced annuity provider Partnership raised concerns that people with small pension pots will not be able to access independent financial advice after the RDR.
Evolve Financial Planning director James Norton says: "All the research indicates that when people buy an annuity they do not do sufficient shopping around and generally go with their existing provider.
"Any service which helps people through that process, particularly those with small pension pots, is a good thing."

Presumably that'll be £20,000 nett of TFC? If they think they can make money out of pension pots as piddly as £20,000 (quite possibly requiring the values of more than one plan to be aggregated), doing battle with dire life company admin, masses of forms, checking for things like GAR's (you could be crucified if you don't), penalties for early vesting, the most suitable type of annuity for each particular client and even advising on options beyond just annuitisation, all within, say, 1.5% commission ~ good luck to them. Not the sort of business I'd be looking for. About as profitable as stakeholder pensions.

Murders This Week: 3
Murders This Year: 24
The man found shot to death in a vacant lot Feb. 2 has been identified as Cumberland Richardson Jr., a 62-year-old African-American man from the Mondawmin neighborhood.
Monday, Feb. 18
2:40 a.m. After a large group of people left Paradox, a dance club on Russell Street, the crowd spilled over to the Staples parking lot down the street, near M&T Bank Stadium. A fight broke out, shots were fired, and two people were hit. A 20-year-old African-American man was shot in the head, chest, and hip and was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center. He died at 2:58 a.m. The other person who was shot survived. Police are waiting until the fatal victim's family has been notified of his death, to release his name.
Wednesday, Feb. 20
5:30 p.m. Henry Davis, a 48-year-old African-American man, was shot in the head in the 1100 block of North Chester Street in the Middle East neighborhood. He died before he could be taken to the hospital.
Sunday, Feb. 24
8:37 p.m. Police were called to the scene of a shooting at the corner of Chase Street and Milton Avenue. There they found a 23-year-old African-American man who had been shot several times in the body. He died at Johns Hopkins Hospital at 10:50 p.m. His name is being withheld by police until his family is notified. This murder was just four blocks from where Henry Davis was killed a few days earlier.
On Feb. 19, Lorenzo Speight, a 33-year-old African-American man, pleaded guilty to murder and other charges for the murder of Darren Mebane, a 21-year-old African-American. Police were in the area around the 1800 block of Walbrook Avenue on Oct. 18, 2007 when they saw Mebane running from a man firing a gun. They later identified Speight as the gunman. After shooting Mebane, Speight got into a car. Police followed the car. Speight jumped out of the car in an alley near Dukeland and Baker streets, and police arrested him. They found the murder weapon on the roof of a house near where Speight jumped out of the car. The driver of that car, Aaron Davis, a 32-year-old African-American man, has also been brought up on charges. He is scheduled to stand trial in April.
On Feb. 14, Juanita Robinson, a 27-year-old African-American woman, was found guilty of the murder of Andre McBride, a 21-year-old African-American man. McBride was shot in the thigh, back, and back of the head in the kitchen of Robinson's apartment in the 6600 block of Knottwood Court on March 31, 2007. Robinson, who was McBride's girlfriend, said at the time that they were arguing but claimed that someone else shot him. The police crime lab tested her hands, however, and found that they "were immediately adjacent to a discharging firearm or were themselves used to fire the firearm," according to charging documents. This was Robinson's second murder charge. On June 28, 2004, Robinson pleaded guilty to manslaughter for stabbing Derrick Colbert, a 16-year-old African-American male, to death. According to charging documents, 16-year-old Colbert was the boyfriend of Robinson's twin sister, Donita, who was 23 at the time. Donita and Colbert got into an altercation on Dec. 19, 2003. Colbert left the apartment but returned later and was kicking at the door and window to get in. Juanita opened the door and got into an altercation with Colbert herself that ended with her stabbing him in the chest. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison, all but six months suspended, and three years of supervised probation.
