QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesvicky_qlik Jun 27, 2011 6:02 AM (in response to uroskrizaj)
I had this problem today morning.
I have check the box and than I could see a button 'Continue'.
After that you have to load the skript once and you can see your data again.
Re: QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesswuehl Jun 27, 2011 9:57 AM (in response to uroskrizaj)
It seems that your local user key has changed. Which version of QV / OS are you using? There are some reports in the discussions before that reported similar problems when changing network (office / home etc.)
You are entitled for up to 4 so called document recoveries in personal edition (the action vicky was probably using this morning), please read http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-1799 for further details.
Re: QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesvicky_qlik Jun 27, 2011 10:26 AM (in response to swuehl)
HI Stefan,
But there was no change. I only have QV at work and I don't want to open files from forum. So, why has QV problems with opening. At least, QV has opened the document 2 hours ago without any problems.
Are the documents after the 4th time really unopenable? And what shall I do the next time?
QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesswuehl Jun 27, 2011 10:43 AM (in response to vicky_qlik)
Hi Vicky,
I don't know why there is / was a problem with opening. I only know that Qlikview calculates somehow a user key and embeds this in every application file. If somehow your key has changed (don't ask me how, I don't know any details, just guessing that they might use different information pieces like OS version / MAC number etc to assemble one), you are asked if you want to use a document recovery.
You might use this up to 4 times (counting one time per key change, not file opening. Thus, if you have say 10 files with older key and you enable recovery for a new key use, all 10 files should open, resulting in a 1 time use of a recovery action).
After the 4th recovery, you are not able to recover any other files, those will be lost.
If this happens, you might have to upgrade to paid license for opening your own old files (new files are still accessible / you might still create new files).
This information is how I interprete the above linked official web site from qlikview (no file to download, just html). As I upgraded to a professional license some months ago, there is not much more to say from my side.
If you have any further problems, please post a little more information about OS / QV version, screenshot of problem dialog etc.
Re: QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesvicky_qlik Jun 28, 2011 1:13 AM (in response to swuehl)
Good morning,
I will keep this under review and post, if I have the problem again. Then with more information.
Re: QlikView Personal Edition problems with opening filesuroskrizaj Jun 28, 2011 1:54 AM (in response to uroskrizaj)
I have found one solution that worked for me. I just made System restore in my windows for one week back and now everything is working just fine. Hope this work for you too.

The leak: Up to 50% of the price, compared with buying online
The plug: In the heady moments after you first hold your beautiful new phone or tablet or computer, it's easy to get swept up by similarly cool accessories.
Go home and go online, and you won't overpay for peripherals, says Rick Broida of CNET's The Cheapskate blog. The least expensive iPhone case, screen protector, and headset available at the Apple Store will run you $84, while using Amazon.com drops the price to $37.
Plug those small expenses that add up over time. See which of these money leaks apply to you and start saving hundreds - or even thousands -- a year.

Set in 1973, it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William (Patrick Fugit), an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview an up and coming band, William finds himself drawn into the band's inner circle and learns a life changing lesson about the importance of family the ones we inherit, and the ones we create.

There are a number of daunting tasks when it comes to planning a wedding. The most important is picking the right groom, then finding the right venue for your wedding and the perfect dress for the big day. After you have done all that, it is time for you to start thinking about the final touches you can apply to make this day a memorable day.
Flowers play a very huge part in making your wedding a unique day to remember, from the table arrangement to your bouquet, there are many other decisions that you will be required to make. The flowers need to suit the wedding style or theme, the venue and the wedding couple.
Flowers make up almost 10% of the total wedding cost. However for those couples who love flowers and would like to see them everywhere, then they may be required to spend even more. Before visiting the florist you should make a list of the things that you require and try making a sensible budget.
1. Ask around
When it comes to our first wedding arrangements, we are all amateurs. Therefore choosing a respectable and a renown florist can be a very a hard task. So how do we find a respectable florist? Picking names from the yellow pages is absurd and reading internet reviews is nowadays unreliable.
Therefore asking around is very important when it comes to finding the right florist. Friends and family who have gone through the nightmare of wedding planning are delighted to give you information on their wedding florist, whether he wilted under pressure or blossomed and rose to the occasion. Those tips should not go to waste.
Advice from wedding venue managers is also a very reliable source of information as they have seen countless weddings and met countless florists.
2. Consider the budget
Choosing a florist who will work with your budget is very important. It is important that you and the florist both feel comfortable to avoid any headaches. If the florist knows your budget on flowers, he or she can be realistic while making plans to accomplish the arrangement. There is no need to overspend just because your florist says so. Find the florist that is willing to work with your budget since knowing the amount of money you are willing to spend is vital in any wedding plan.
3. Knowing the kind of extras that you require
When choosing a florist, it is important to know what kind of extras you will need. Find a florist who is able to get most things done in a single place. Apart from the regular bride's bouquet and trappings of center pieces, there are other ways that your florist can spice up your event, for instance, small floral arrangements, corsages for the guest of honor and petals for the send off among many other extras.
A good florist will not stop at flowers, the right furniture, candles, tableware and ornaments have to also make a beautiful singular impression with the wedding.
4. Choose between a florist and a floral designer
A florist will make an expert flower arrangement for the wedding. However there are other options rather than going straight to the flowers arrangements first.
Floral designers, though more expensive, are a great choice for the couple, because they are artists. Their services don't end with flower arrangements. Floral designers can make your wedding a work of art.
5. Envision your wedding
Collect pictures of wedding flowers and create a vivid image of what you want the wedding to look like. However, you need to choose a wedding florist who will agree with your image although he may make a few alterations but will still retain that same image of your wedding dream. The more information you give your florist the better chance of him having a lot of things to work with in making this day a memorable day.
What should I bring to the flower shop when I have my wedding consultation?
Providing your wedding florist with a lot of information will give him a chance to offer suggestions. The florist wants to create a memorable event for the couple therefore anything you can bring can be beneficial. For instance:
· A collection of pictures of what you have in mind for the wedding.
· A photo of the dress, sample of the lace or fabric, if you have it and the photos of the bridesmaid wedding dresses.
· Offer the suggestion of the wedding style that you have in mind. If you don't have any the florist may give you one.
· Have your budget ready for the florist of what amount you are willing and able to spend on the flowers.

Many of FoamOrder's organic mattresses swaddle sleepers in Natural Sense organic foam crafted from rubber-tree sap and free-trade clouds. The all-natural fibers of the mattresses—which come in five levels of firmness—encourage restful, stress-free slumber by resisting dust mites, mold, and the temptation to cheat on the SATs. Customers can clothe skinny twins ($850.07–$1,698.50) in certified-organic-wool mattress protectors with water-resistant, needle-punched fibers ($59.95–$98.85 for a twin), and teens sleep in style with full bed sets that include a headboard ($129), box springs ($195), and a bed frame ($54.95). Floorboard-phobic foam-lovers can hoist beds out of harm's way with a Captain's bed frame ($780.80 for a queen), which stands 15.25 inches off the ground, eliminating the need to memorize lengthy levitation spells.
After spending years as a salesman for top mattress lines, Steve Shore needed a new mattress himself. Rather than opt for a steep employee discount on one of the mattresses he sold, the enterprising Mr. Shore collected various natural materials and had them assembled into a mattress that met his exacting specifications: a comfy sleep cushion made with no potentially toxic components. The result was such an improvement over the big-name mattresses he sold that Mr. Shore and his son eventually decided to produce a line of organic mattresses based on the prototype, on which Mr. Shore slept soundly for more than a decade.
Now, the Shore men sell their mattresses under the Eco-Cloud name in The Natural Mattress Store. Made from high-quality steel coils topped with natural latex, Eco-Cloud mattresses resist accumulating allergens and nightmare blueprints and retain their shape and support for years. Organic wool and cotton covers help keep sleepers cool and snug in bed by deflecting body heat and wicking away moisture. Each Eco-Cloud mattress comes with a 12-year, nonprorated warranty. In addition to the Eco-Cloud line, The Natural Mattress Store carries more than 20 organic mattresses, as well as eco-friendly, solid wood bedroom furniture from Pacific Rim Woodworking, Bedworks of Maine, and Vermont Furniture Designs.

As the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to take up IJ's First Amendment challenge to Arizona's system of taxpayer-funded campaigns, it is worthwhile to ask whether systems like these deliver the promised benefits to the public that pays for them. Inevitably, supporters claim that public funding will revolutionize—and, of course, elevate—democracy. See, for example, the lofty list of promises made by drafters of a proposal currently before Congress.
Arizona has been using taxpayer dollars to pay politicians to run for office for 10 years, and so has Maine. Other states and localities have likewise experimented with different varieties of full- or partial-public funding for political campaigns. In all that time, what have we learned?
In his new IJ research brief, political scientist David Primo takes a clear-headed look at the social science evidence for key claims of public funding backers. His conclusion: The reality falls short of the rhetoric.
For example, public funding is supposed to "clean up" politics, which ought to improve citizen perceptions of government. Yet the only statistical study to examine the question found that with public funding, citizens are less likely to believe that officials care what they think or to believe that they have a say in what government does. Likewise, evidence shows that public funding has either no effect or a negative effect on voter turnout.
Nor have Clean Elections systems rid politics of special interests. When asked by the GAO, residents of Arizona and Maine were about as likely to believe that interest group influence increased as they were to believe it decreased. Primo notes that this shouldn't be surprising; after all, even legislators elected "clean" get lobbied.
Finally, public funding has not made elections more competitive. While some studies suggest there are more candidates running (small wonder: pay politicians to run for office and more will) and vote margins are narrowing, these changes cannot clearly be attributed to public funding. Moreover, it appears a more important measure of competiveness—the incumbency reelection rate—has remained about the same. If, in the end, the same people are being reelected, it seems hard to say competitiveness has improved—or that the revolution has come.

Post subject: Hi From CHCH
Just thought I would put up a hello thread. I'm Andrew from CHCH, but most people call me Green. I also Just joined up with the 501st. I'm starting to make a generic Old Republic Jedi costume. So far I have an EPIII MR Obi-Wan Kenobi Saber, and I have made an outer cloak, but It's a bit different. I decided to make it out of chocolate brown, almost sack like material, my resoning being that I was going to do it my way, and the rough edges would increase a jedi's focus, and humble them, also providing excelent wear characteristics, and helping to blend into poorer backgrounds. I'm not sure if this is within the rules, if not, then I have an excelent pattern to copy using the"right" material. Hopefully this week I will have time to pop into the fabric shop and find some material to make some pants and an under tunic.

Kia ora Andrew
If you wander over to the Jedi section of these boards you'll be sure to find some advice on what is considered suitable
I myself used a mystery fabric for my robes for Shaak Ti (it is all natural, just not clear what blend of flax/nettle/other if is).
I think you will need to hem it though, but again best to get advice from the legion judges up there if you want to register it
Otherwise there is nothing wrong with creating your own character for your own thing
Is Kutwells still around? I know the SCA used to raid there frequently for wools and linens at super cheap prices. I love the stuff I got, perfect shade of blue for the 16thC. I
I seem to recall though they were looking like shutting down even before the earthquakes.
Good luck and be sure to share photos

Hi Andrew,
Nice to see you on here
There's nothing to prevent you weathering your costume, so you shouldn't have problems with fraying the edges on your outer cloak.
The cloak is not a required item for acceptance, so if you do end up with concerns just make sure the rest of the outfit meets the standard required (which is quite easy!), and the cloak can be an optional accessory for informal events. Would be very cool to see your costume approved with a cloak though
Hope the fabric hunting goes well!

I think Kutwells is gone the block of shops they were in is pretty old and if I remember right was made out of the red bricks that didn't really standup to the shaking very well. I Did go to fabric vision (my local fabric store) and got some nice brown material for some pants and under tunic (it was only $8 a m), felt a bit weird in there with all of the mums and old ladies there
So hopefully I'll get on with making those this weekend, even though I should be studying! Postgrad exams are only 2 weeks away!
I'll make a costume thread here, to try and breathe some new life into the pace eh?

I just scrolled to the bottom of th page and saw this
I'm going to Christchurch Armageddon so if you are are going I'll be sure to say hi
In fact on Saturday I'll be doing a talk at the show on costuming with the focus of fabric costumes (basics of fabric properties and then a big focus on fit) so I'll be easy to find
Not sure what I'll be wearing at this stage though

More and more job postings have something in them about having strong communication skills, oral and written communication skills and/or presentation skills.
This seems like such a simple thing, you might wonder why it's even posted as a requirement.You might think everyone is capable of communicating at least on some level.
In reality though, so many people communicate by text, email, skype using abbreviations and acronyms and letting spell check change words however it sees fit…the ability to communicate verbally seems to be lost.
When I see this as a mandatory requirement, what it means is you must be able to speak, understand, comprehend and write clearly. And, unless otherwise noted, this is expected to be in English.
It saddens me to receive resumes from candidates with stellar GPA's and a beautifully written resume, only to call them and discover they cannot speak or understand English. Not all of them are from other countries.
When I ask a question and the answer is the same words I just said rearranged into an incomprehensible sentence …You're in trouble.
Entry or senior level, hourly or salaried, whatever type and level of candidate you are…if you are answering every question with a yes or no…You're in trouble.
While this may seem to be an efficient way to respond, it doesn't help you prove you are capable of holding your own in a conversation or that you actually comprehend the question you were just asked.
When I ask for feedback on why someone did not get offered the job, the majority of the time, the answer has something to do with inability to communicate.
The art of conversation is important. Practice with friends and family if you need to brush up your communication skills.

Paul Blu-Ray review
Every comedy has a target audience and Paul's is clearly the Comic-Con crowd. But even as a member of that crowd, I didn't find it to be the ultimate fanboy farce it purports to be. It tries too hard, for one, and rarely goes for broke, putting a geeky spin on conventional gags and settling for all-too-familiar cult-culture references. Still, there are plenty of laughs to be had, ample alien antics to enjoy, and enough Pegg, Frost, Bateman, Hader and Wiig to go around. Whether you love or loathe Paul, or lament the squandered potential, though, Universal's Blu-ray release will not disappoint. It boasts a near-perfect video transfer, an Earth-moving DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and a fairly impressive supplemental package. At the very least, Paul is worth a rent. For many, it may even be worth a blind buy. So fire up some popcorn, toss on your favorite Star Wars shirt, and see if it works for you.

III. Origins of the Whitehead Surname
It is quite possible for two people with the Whitehead last name to have been given that surname for entirely different reasons. Discovering the country from which your Whitehead ancestors originated can often yield additional clues for the meaning of the surname. Were you aware that Whitehead is considered a very common surname, which offers its own set of challenges? The article "Researching Common Names" may be helpful for your research. Keep in mind that it was not unusual for a last name to be altered as an ancestor entered a new country.

IX. Upcoming Whitehead Family Reunions
One key to a successful Whitehead reunion is preparation, and for the family researcher that means getting the word out in advance on what to bring (such as the family photo collection); arranging for the display of shared information; and planning activities conducive to sharing; and one of the best ways to get others to participate is in bringing something of your own to share such a picture pedigree, compiled family history or biographical sketch, or even a copies of a treasured photo as a gift for each family -- you may even want to consider putting together a reunion newsletter in advance to be distributed at the reunion, asking for help in solving one or more specific family mysteries: you never know who might have insight they are willing to share, one-on-one. The article "Planning Details For A Family Reunion" may provide you with tips for hosting a successful Whitehead reunion.

New Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is calling upon all residents to improve themselves and help better the state.
Pence used his inaugural address Monday morning to say all Hoosiers have a role to play and "a torch to light."
Pence credited outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels for leaving the state in good condition. But Pence says state government must remain bold because many families and businesses are struggling to get by.
The former Republican congressman says he also wants to give parents more choices in the education of their children and seek to strengthen institutions that nurture the family.
He says he wants Indiana to "become a torch of opportunity and hope" that inspires the nation.

Reblogged from crowfiveoh 527 notes
Hey, I'm Az
I watch way too many TV shows and I am a multi-shipper in training. Also a huge dork and proud of it. I suffer from chronic wanderlust. Sometimes I feel like I can't stay still because I just want to see and experience so many things. I believe in love and forgiveness. And I am a work in progress, so please forgive me for any offense made. .
This is my beautiful lady. She's also my wife. And I love her so very much.

MESA, Ariz. — Whenever new Cubs catcher Dioner Navarro would go home questioning whether he still belonged in the big leagues during his struggles the last three seasons, his wife, Sherley, liked to remind him of his baseball claim to fame.
"She'd say, 'You were once traded for Randy Johnson,' and I'm like, 'You know what, you're right about that,' '' Navarro said Thursday.
Indeed, on Jan. 11, 2005, the Diamondbacks traded "The Big Unit'' in a four-player deal built around Navarro, the Yankees' top minor leaguer — and later that day dealt the hot Venezuelan prospect to the Dodgers for Shawn Green.
Occasionally, remembering how he once was so valued helps Navarro overcome bouts of doubt. But Navarro draws regular inspiration from another part of personal history that defines his life, and baseball career, even more — and Sherley triggers those memories without saying a thing. Just seeing his wife, who once stared death in the face, does that.
"She's been through a living hell, but she's still so positive,'' Navarro said. "Everything I've been through with her, I think I can translate not only to young guys in the clubhouse but to veterans. I want to be that guy that when a problem breaks out, everybody comes to for a solution because of my experiences.''
Navarro doesn't wear those experiences on his sleeve as much as his back.
Crouching in a stance against the A's at Hohokam Stadium, Navarro wore a No. 4 jersey that was his second choice. Negotiations continue with teammate Travis Wood over obtaining No. 30, which Navarro always has worn as a tribute to his wife. For fun, Navarro will apply pressure by walking past Wood's locker to display the large tattoo on his right forearm that features a baseball inscribed with "30" inside a cross.
"He's an outstanding, stand-up guy who fits in well,'' Wood said. "I'm sure we'll figure it out. I know it's special to him.''
Wearing either number — 30 or 4 — keeps Navarro from letting baseball blur his perspective.
It was Sept. 30, 2003, when doctors operated on a golf-ball-sized brain aneurysm that Sherley survived despite being given a 4 percent chance to live before surgery. Navarro was 19. The couple, who met over the Internet, had been married a year when Sherley passed out during a weekend getaway celebrating their first anniversary.
"I matured at a young age,'' Navarro said. "Because I had to.''
He would need all that maturity when his son, Dioner Jr., was born with a kidney disease that often inflicts children of mothers with brain aneurysms, Navarro explained. Dioner Jr. had his left kidney removed when he was 1, but when the doting dad welcomes his family here Friday, the boy will show no signs of what he endured.
"They told us he was going to be underweight and not as active — everything opposite of what he is now,'' Navarro said. "Now he's 7 and a nice little chubby guy who looks just like Daddy.''
Daddy looks like a one-year, $1.75 million investment in character and camaraderie for a team expecting to struggle. The money the Cubs offered surprised even Navarro, who has played in only 136 games over the last three years. But they see Navarro as an ideal mentor for starter Welington Castillo, even if he never regains the form that made him a 2008 All-Star with the Rays.
Manager Dale Sveum thinks so highly of Navarro's potential that he resisted calling him a backup. Navarro considers his role behind the scenes as important as his behind the plate, spreading goodwill around the clubhouse like a United Nations ambassador in stirrups.
"One of the great things about baseball is you can have Latinos, blacks, whites, guys from Japan, and everybody brings something different to the clubhouse that needs to be respected,'' said Navarro, 29. "I love the game. I consider myself a really good father and see (young teammates) as my kids. I want everybody to feel welcome and that they belong, whether they have two days in the big leagues or 20 years.''
The five seasons Navarro spent with the Rays included the organizational transformation the Cubs seek. He recalled a meeting as spring training ended in 2008, the year the Rays captured the pennant with 97 wins, when everybody sensed the culture had changed. The Rays won 66 games in 2007.
"We basically said, 'We're tired of (bleeping) losing. It's time!' '' Navarro said. "We were tight. If a fight broke out, everybody came out of the dugout. If somebody was down, you picked him up. With the Cubs losing so many games last year, I felt I could help be part of a turnaround nobody expects.''
It wouldn't be the first time Navarro experienced that.

Hey guys this is my first post on this forum, but don't assume I'm retarded yet.
Previously a lot of people have been saying that the iPhone CANNOT be used in a CDMA network because even with an r-uim, the radio inside the iPhone is GSM.
But here's why I'm bringing this up again now:
The iPhone was released for Korea (KT Telecom) november of last year.
So what you ask? Well KT Telecom, like the rest of korea, uses CDMA ! This MUST mean, then that the Korean iPhone is equipped with a CDMA radio, and utilizes an R-UIM.
Now I'm not sure if the operating bands are different from korea and verizon/sprint, but if they were: wouldn't one be able to import a korean iPhone, unlock to verizon/sprint, and then have a fully functional CDMA iphone?! I mean fundamentally speaking the Korean iPhone DOES have a CDMA radio.
Furthermore, Update – Use Your iPhone in Korea Now (Not Just WIFI) | iPhone in Korea seems to imply that it IS indeed possible to somehow use a GSM-equipped iPhone in korean CDMA networks?
I mean, if this were true, it would make sense why KT Telecom is telling foreigners that they can't buy iPhones in Korea.
Also, if the iPhone was really CDMA in Korea, I can very well see how a CDMA iPhone could be very possible this coming year in the USA. I mean, apple would basically have already done the hard work (R&D), right?
Someone please correct me and tell me I'm insane.

I wanted a pig.
My friend Paul sold pigs. He owned Violet Hill Farm and had a Saturday stand at the Greenmarket on Union Square. But Paul had only sucklings. I'd returned from Italy and didn't want a suckling. I wanted a proper pig, a big one. Could Paul get me a big pig?
Well, yes, he probably could. His neighbor had sows, and if I ordered one before it was slaughtered it wouldn't have to be inspected by the Department of Agriculture. This, Paul said, was a good thing. In effect, he explained, I'd be buying a living animal—"Think of it as a pet"—rather than a dead one cut up by a butcher. (The rustic logic of animal husbandry is based on a belief that all government agencies are bad, even if they were established to prevent you from getting ill, which you would have thought was good.) But when my wife and I appeared the following Saturday the pig was definitively dead, wrapped in a transparent plastic sheet and flopped across the back seat of Paul's vehicle: a medium-sized animal, about two hundred pounds, with everything on view—hooves, legs, piggy tail, snout—plus, stuffed in the cavity, the lungs, heart, and liver.
The challenge was getting it home. The transparent sheet insured that every passerby knew what I'd bought. It was not your normal parcel of urban shopping. It was not your normal Greenmarket purchase, either, and many people looked at me as though I were a bad man. One woman stood in front of me with her arms across her chest in open disapproval. I was tempted to prop our pig against the organic wheatgrass stand. ("Mind if we leave this here while we get a cup of coffee?")
Cars are not permitted in the Greenmarket, but I had a Vespa. Without it, I wonder what I would have done. Flagged a taxi? I strapped my purchase onto the rack over the front wheel, hooves dangling on either side, a pair of ears just underneath the handlebars, my wife on the back. The three of us, precariously poised, putted home. I parked in front of our building, and, cradling my cargo in my arms, staggered to the door, musing, Is there a law against this?
The doorman, Gary Miro, welcomed us with the delight of an unapologetic meat-eater, and we stepped into the elevator. But, before we ascended, a problem appeared in the Saturday-morning dress of a Wall Street banker, who had come in behind us.
"Gary, do we want another passenger?" I was struggling. Two hundred pounds was akin to a big man. What's more, things had shifted, and blood was pooling up in a crease of the plastic.
It was a summer day in a small elevator: the doorman, the banker, and, just behind, my wife, me, and my pig. The banker turned. I don't know why. Maybe he smelled something, although the smell, as these things go, wasn't bad. He conducted an inventory of the details apparent in the plastic sheet, and when the door opened he exited with considerable dispatch.
"Did you hear the sound he made?" Gary asked with undisguised glee. I had heard it and was distressed. I had been uncomfortable in the Greenmarket. Now I'd made my neighbor sick.
I deposited my pig on the breakfast table. I emptied out the refrigerator and washed down the counters. I sharpened a knife and reflected on the difficulty of a pig at home. I hadn't wanted to upset my neighbor. I didn't know him well but gathered (from the doorman) that he, too, was a meat-eater. My pig was a more elementary form of things he'd been eating for years. The realization confirmed something I'd always suspected: people don't want to know what meat is. They don't think of meat as an animal; they think of it as an element in a meal. ("What I want tonight is a cheeseburger!")
For me, meat wasn't a cause. I just believe people should know what they're eating. At the Greenmarket, you overheard discussions about fertilizers and soils and how much freedom a chicken needs before its eggs are free-range. Wouldn't it follow that you'd want to know your meat? I had brought home a freshly killed animal—better raised than anything I'd find at a store—and, in preparing it, I was hoping to rediscover old-fashioned ways of making food. This, I felt, could only be positive. But I was sure getting a lot of shit for it.
I'd been in Italy six months, and the idea of buying a pig at the Greenmarket occurred to me when I was there. Most of the people I'd met knew what to do with a pig—or else had a grandmother who knew, or an uncle. It seemed like the next natural step that I should have this kind of knowledge as well.
The commonplace about Italian cooking is that it's very simple; in practice, the simplicity needs to be learned, and the best way to learn it is to go to Italy and see it firsthand. I ended up at a butcher shop. I would have been happy anywhere, but the butcher was the first person to say yes.
The butcher was Dario Cecchini. I'd heard about him from Armandino Batali, the proprietor of Salumi, in Seattle, and the father of Mario, the celebrity chef. The story was that Mario had gone to Italy to learn the simplicity of Italian food, and the experience had changed his life; his father then did the same. Dario's had been one of Armandino's first stops.
