Compiling Reports: EXPO Chicago 2013
September 24, 2013 · Print This Article
In case you thought we maybe glossed over the epic amount of blood sweat and tears that went into last week's art fair extravaganza, I thought I'd repost a few articles that came out in the last few days including this one from Art in America:
Strong Sophomore Outing for Expo Chicago
"I'll tell you what distinguishes this year from last year," Expo Chicago director Tony Karman told A.i.A. at the fair's sophomore outing on Saturday, "and I'll tell you in one word—sales. It was very important that big dealers like David Zwirner and Marianne Boesky do well, and they have."
Featuring over 120 international galleries at the capacious Navy Piers (up from 100 last year), with views of Lake Michigan, Expo Chicago (Sept. 19-22) represented dealers from 17 countries and 36 cities. Some were returning, like Zwirner (New York and London), Matthew Marks (New York and Los Angeles), and Kavi Gupta (Chicago and Berlin). There were also many first-timers, including Marianne Boesky (New York), Cabinet (London), Massimo de Carlo (Milan and London) and Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects.
While almost every exhibitor acknowledged that sales were little to none in 2012, nearly all said that business was better this year. Dealers reported a range of sales, starting as low as $4,000 for works on paper by Chicago's own William J. O'Brien at Boesky. Works in a modest price range found the most ready buyers, but there were outliers. Boesky told A.i.A. of serious interest in an assemblage by Salvatore Scarpitta, Drummer Seargeant (1963), which was tagged at $750,000, and one dealer who declined to be named told A.i.A. that he had sold a million-dollar artwork—and to a walk-in customer, no less. read more

This Given Sunday:
It's no secret that Roger Goodell is not an adored figure among NFL players, and a USA today poll of players confirmed that today. According to the poll, 61% of NFL players disapprove of the job Roger Goodell has done as commissioner of the NFL, leaving an approval rating of just 39%. 300 players were polled, leaving a 5% margin of error. Players are often the target of fines levied by Goodell and the NFL, and as such, it's no surprise that those being fined would disapprove of the system they're working under. Still, that's not the only reason players are upset. Along with fines that have proven to be ineffective in increasing player safety, Goodell's insistence that he's making changes in the name of player safety aren't going over well. Steelers linebacker James Harrison weighed in on topic, "I feel like what he's doing is not totally for the safety of players. ... A lot of stuff they've done, (such as) fining guys crazy amounts of m...

Fourth and 5, down 27-3 midway through the third quarter, on the Dolphins 45...and we punt.
Fourth and 5, down 27-3 at the end of the third quarter, on our own 40...and we punt again.
That's not playing to win. I cannot understand those decisions. The only explanation I can come up with is that Rex is more concerned about not having the score run up on his D anymore than it already was, rather than with pursuing whatever extremely thin hope there still may have been of winning the game (and yes, there was still a slim hope at those points in the game -- remember the Miracle at the Meadowlands).
It's probably the most disgusted I've ever felt about Rex Ryan.
EDIT: I don't have the stomach to watch the postgame presser...but does anyone know if Rex was called out on this by any of the reporters?
Last edited by gaffneycatch; 10-28-2012 at 07:23 PM.
Felt the same way. The funniest part is that they went for it on 4th down deep in our territory earlier in the same drive.
So you are telling me that less then 2 minutes ago, you felt that this drive was so important we must go for it on 4th down to try to score but now, with less time on the clock and closer to the endzone, we must punt the ball? Obviously 4th and 1 is different than 4th and 5 but it doesn't matter. You either have to score quickly or you don't.
This sort of logic is what shows the coaching staff have no idea about what they are doing.
Woody is an A$$, but he didn't make those decisions today.
And I'm not a Rex hater...I think he brings good and bad, but for the most part, I've been for giving some more time. But punting in those situations is just inexcusable. It's giving up, and is a disrespect to the fans and the game.
still curious to know whether this was mentioned in the presser.
It's amazing how many things never changed since from when Herman Edwards took over. Punting at or around midfield when you're down by enough to where you can no longer afford to give away a possession as well as precious game clock to get the ball back. Not being able to get offensive plays off before the playclock hits 1, allowing the defensive line to time the snap and tee off, blowing timeouts with 10 minutes left in a quarter to make it that much difficult should the Jets be trying to score at the end of the half or game, on and on and on....

Young Ambassadors,Excellencies,Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so happy once again to speak to the youth of Kenya, as the leadership of this country under the mediation of FSG Kofi Annan are seriously and tenaciously charting out a strategy and a political compromise that will give a lasting solution to the crisis. I ask you all, right at the outset, to join me in observing a minute of silence and respect for those who have lost their lives in recent weeks. We pray also for those who have lost loved ones, their homes, property and their livelihoods.
Thank you.
Young ladies and gentlemen,
Indeed, know that many of you have come here at considerable personal risk to join us here today. I want to thank you for your courage and sacrifice. It is a regrettable situation that some of you had the misfortune of having witnessed neighbors and loved ones being killed, homes being torched, families being evicted and separated, and fear of insecurity among neighbors creeping within settlements and communities. That is what makes the meeting timely, and your presence here is therefore most valuable and important.
Indeed since we started our activities with the youth to campaign against violence two weeks ago, I am gratified to note that things have improved markedly. Let me start by congratulating you all and the people of Kenya for the confidence and patients they have shown to give mediation a chance. When we last met, I told you that as young people, it is your generation which must lead the way. You must be the agents of change to bring peace where our generation has clearly failed. The current cloud hanging over this nation is not only a threat, but also an opportunity. If corrective measures are taken, a new order is bound to emerge, turning adversity into opportunity. Those who lost their lives and those who are suffering and hurting will not have done all this in vain.
As you know, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon was here a few weeks ago when he implored Kenyans to stop violence and killing each other, urging all of you to go out and to reach out to your friends and to your neighbours to stop all the violence, the attacks, the revenge attacks, the burning of churches, homes and businesses, and to bring a quick end to the rape and pillage. Criminal elements take advantage of violence to attack innocent victims thus turning away would be sympathizers in what you believe as your cause. Individuals are enshrined the freedom of expression in a non-violent manner without interruption or intimidation. What must be foremost in everyone's mind is that the issues we are dealing with are not about individual politicians, individual political parties, but the future of Kenya and its people, indeed it is also about the future of this region and this afflicted continent.
The people are tired; they've been traumatized. Some live in fear and they want to see this issue resolved. It is you the young people who will tell feuding parties that enough is enough, and now we need to move on through reforms that can address long standing grievances thereby restore peace.
And this is why the former Secretary General Kofi Annan is here and the international community and friends in the region are so engaged in finding a lasting peaceful solution to this crisis. The current SG of the UN came to Kenya also to express the solidarity of the entire UN with the Kenyan people, and the need to find a solution to the crisis. The international community is engaged; they are engaged because of their concern and friendship for Kenya, solidarity. They are here because of their solidarity with the Kenyan people.
We members of the UN are all working together to assist those who need humanitarian assistance, as we do in all parts of the world who find themselves in a humanitarian situation. But we are also keen and working to assist Kenyan leaders and Kenyan people to get the right results so that Kenya continues to be a stable, prosperous country and the haven it has been in this region for all the countries. Clearly as host to the only UN headquarters based in the developing world, stability in Kenya is also important for our work in other parts of the world. The way the UN works is through dialogue with leaders of a given Member State, in this case Kenya. Unless the UN Security Council so decides, the UN works with Member States through dialogue and never never dictates its views or positions.
However, in times of crisis such as this, UN staff and agents always advocate for basic values and governance principles we believe in without fear or fervor. So today, once again, using historical experiences, I shall emphasize these values, without which a country cannot attain sustainable peace and prosperity.
Young friends,
In 1913 one of the most courageous women heroes, the late Rosa Parks, was born in Alabama in the United States. History tells us that 52 years ago Rosa defied the segregation laws of the South by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. Little did she know that she ushered in a new era to be advanced by Martin Luther King Jr. who led many other African Americans to follow her example, of not giving up the seat but boycotting the bus company as long as they were being discriminated against. However, they did all this without violence, although they were surely tear gassed several times. They refused to be intimidated into retaliatory violence. In other words they lost the battle to win the war. The current crisis is pregnant with opportunity for a new Kenya, a new society, that will shine again on the world stage. A unified new country that looks beyond parochial, ethnic interests. I have faith that through you young people, a march to freedom has started, and there is no turning back.
About the same time that Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King were struggling against racial discrimination in America, leaders such as the first South African Nobel Laureate, the late Mr. Albert Luthuli, were doing the same in South Africa. They founded the African National Congress, ANC in 1912 on principles of nonviolence. His Excellency Nelson Mandela followed and you have seen the kind of respect that Mr. Mandela commands around the world. Another legendary figure is Mahatma Gandhi. He was able to fight for the independence of India, the biggest and most valued colony of Britain by peaceful means. I can also today add another example. The suffragettes or women who fought for the right to vote, and much else. No feminist has ever resorted to violence, but see what women have achieved? If am addressing you today, it is because some women in the past had to fight for the right of women to go to school, to get jobs, and to be promoted to high office. And my young friends, see what women, as your mothers have achieved! So my young people, the issue is not whether you fight for what you believe in, but how you do it. You are likely to succeed and win strategic allies and sympathizers to your cause if you do not resort to violence.
I have gone through these historical examples, to drive home a point that young Kenyans can and must learn from Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and the women movement. All fought for rights and justice, but peacefully without endangering the lives of their neighbors or anyone else. All religious teachings abhor violence because clearly, those who live by the sword, will also die by the sword. It is self-defeating.
I for one have always looked with pride for the Kenyan runners bearing a flag for Africa. I used to say with pride and conviction that "KARIBU KENYA, HAKUNA MATATA". I would hate now to say the reverse, "matata mengi". That should not and cannot be allowed to continue.
Today, I would like to encourage you to understand and observe one of the most important principles of the UN. That is to solve disputes through negotiations, by peaceful means, without interfering in other people's basic human rights. The United Nations condemns violence. It also recognizes that if you deny people freedom of assembly and freedom to express themselves, they resort to violence. It follows that the UN principles must be upheld by all of us, both as individuals or groups, or government officials. It is also clear that both immediate and long standing historical grievances must be addressed, once and for all. The UN family is active in practically all these areas and stands ready to assist if and as requested.
In this regard, responding to young people who wanted to deliver immediate relief and longer term peace building activities, UN-HABITAT has entered into partnership with Kenya Red Cross to make this possible. I am told that a number of you present here are involved in these initiatives. I thank you for your voluntary spirit and is counting on good performance, serving others with sincerely and sacrifice.
At this gathering here today, we have an opportunity to exchange views and learn from one another. This gathering of young people from all corners of Kenya is going to be a peaceful one! Everyone here is unique and a resource. Imagine how boring this meeting would be if you had not all come to participate! No man is an island, so the saying goes! AT THIS STAGE, LET ME ASK YOU to pose for a moment, and EXTEND TO EACH OTHER A HAND SHAKE, as a sign of peace. ……..Thank you!
With this gesture, I am pleased to open the National Youth Forum on Safe Neighbourhoods which is part of the initiative by young people to dedicate this week to discuss youth violence prevention measures. I do hope that your deliberations will lead to a National Campaign on Youth Violence Prevention and that this Forum will convene annually to take stock of the progress made on the Campaign effort by young people.
I conclude these remarks by asking you to ask yourselves how a country can grow and flourish beyond its borders, when it cannot even embrace its own people living on her lands? My challenge to you is to go out to your school, to your neighbour with the message that violence is not an acceptable part of how individuals should treat each other. You must make everyone understand that the main reason people attack neighbors is because they are the soft target. You cannot reach those who are really the cause of the problem so you vent out your frustration on your neighbor. A soft target, this is tragic and must be exposed! At the same time criminals take advantage of violent protests to commit crimes. Imagine those raping women, what has that got to do with governance issues? Imagine those murdering and robbing people? Once you are associated with these sad acts, the public gets tired and forgets your cause, which could well be a valid one.
Surely, grievances must be tackled, wrong actions must be pointed out, and those involved named and shamed?
But clearly that does not happen after you have killed your neighbor, torched their homes, or thrown then out of their jobs. That is not the way to resolve any issue but to make a bad situation worses. So please go out with the messages "Peace begins with you and me", "No more violence, lets talk", "A peaceful Kenya begins with me", "I am Kenya, I am Peace, Lets Talk". "The children are crying, this is shameful on all of us´. You are my brother, I am your sister, and we all are one human family. The leaders are talking. In their wisdom they asked Former Secretary-General Kofi Annan to come and mediate or facilitate the dialogue, to avoid a confrontation. That takes time and humility but it will pay a high reward. That is why we talk of TRUTH, JUSTICE AND RECONCILLIATION. This can be done at all levels, including in communities who want to move on. If youth groups want a facilitator in such matters, you can invite UN experts to come and help!
Last time I encouraged you to take this message to the grassroots by forming 10-cell systems, so that the message reaches your friends and is spread. I am very serious about this initiative and have instructed my staff to follow it up. One day when you are fully established, I shall come to visit your cells or mashina. It is a way to make this peace and non-violence initiative meaningful and sustainable.
Individual action CAN and WILL make a difference! BUT GROUP ACTION IS SUPREME.
The choice before us is peaceful and enriching coexistence or no existence at all. The choice is ours and the youth have to lead.
We must stop the bleeding. This will take both determination but also investment.
Once again, I thank you for your courage and please from now on promise me you will never become violent, will stay safe because only you can make Kenya, the only host to a UN headquarters in the developing world, safe to live and work in.
UN stands ready to help and facilitate. Together we shall soon over come. I have a dream.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Anime Characters Claimed: Mighty, Shirobon, Shout (Bomberman Jetters)
I didn't know which one to get at the time but I ended up getting SoulSilver.
HeartGold. My sister has SoulSilver. I was originally going to get SoulSilver because my sister wanted HeartGold (I always get the opposite version of hers) but then at the last minute she decided she wanted SoulSilver instead, so I got HeartGold.
aka Insanish Danish
got heartgold, but since my cousin borrowed my DS for some reason...
when silver and gold first came out, i choose silver over gold coz of lugia :D
so i'm getting HG as a second playthrough (well...through a remake)
Last edited by Ivysaur; 29th December 2010 at 10:54 AM.
Well, with Japanese versions, I always get the second one (Pearl, SoulSilver, White). When they came out in English, I got both versions, but I used HeartGold as my main version - my older brother only got SoulSilver.
Writer for WiiUAndMii
Junichi Masuda thinks my dog is cute.
Soulsilver so I could get Ho-oh at a higher level.
Soul silver because I preferred the Pokemon that were on this game only ..
HeartGold, but I wanted SoulSilver because all my friends have HeartGold
I claimed Victreebel
I have SoulSilver. I got this one because I like the version exclusives better than in HeartGold.
Really? I thought he revived 'em and was also called the 'Savior' of the 'Legendary Beasts'.
I have HeartGold:
1. I like Ho-Oh better than Lugia
2. I prefer the version exclusives

ø Ignore Mal MalenkirkKendrick has his badge around his neck and looks more amused than proud. But the screams from outside take a more alarming turn so he checks through the window. Ah. Murderers. Well, they were playing his son. And Veruzak's sudden pyrothechnics made it all the sweeter. A feral smile plays out on his lips as he strolls outside. He lines up the closest scout, makes sure to use the wall to cover one flank, draws his favored sword with relish and charges his opponent. No threats, no shouting, just steel, as he'd been taught.

ø Ignore roadtoadUpon hearing the commotion outside, Catein looks out the window. Seeing the carnage, it immediately loses interest in talking to the council elders. "Excuse me," it says before whirling in place and rushing out the door of the tavern. Once outside, with a better view of the wrongdoers, it bellows at them. "STOP WHERE YOU ARE!"
Suddenly great spectral chains appear behind the three closest men, including Rayn. They wrap around the men and attempt to pull them back up the street, away from the tavern...

ø Ignore NeuroticOOC: changin little bit since Stringbean posted while I was createing post...since scout is down target is E6 archer and he is pulled to E9
Martelai strides forward toward the archer giving him evil eye. While archer feels sudden attention from distant stars, it is just an unease at this point. It quickly changes as Martelai beckons with his finger and calls out.
"You couldn't hit an elephant from that far, you despicable inept! Come closer!"
Commanding power creeps into his voice and archer feels compelled to move.
Bell cannot help but notice that fey uses same modulations altough little bit on the scarrier side, more intimidating then aluring.
Move: to F15
Minor: curse closest enemy (archer)
Standard: targetingG11E7: Cutting words 5 vs. WILL 1d8+4 +1d6 from curse. Archer is pulled toE13E9 (to get the rest of the party clear shot to him)
Shadow walk: Martelai has concealment as darkness from beyond swirls around himLast edited by Neurotic; Thursday, 17th September, 2009 at 03:59 PM. Reason: Changing target since the one mentioned is down
Thursday, 17th September, 2009, 12:37 PM #77
Atlas follows his comrades out of the tavern with surprisingly quick moves. Seeing everyone use lethal force he shouts " These men may be touched by madness, but think twice before you decide to end their life's " and he encourages the group not to kill these men, if possible.
Focusing on getting as close as he can towards Captain Yurians house, he grabs his sword and plunges towards LT. Ryan, showing no fear nor any doubt. This was what he was born to do and he would prevail.

ø Ignore ScorpiusRiskThe thought that they might be killing these people hadn't crossed her mind yet. But no one would. . . She looked between her allies. Veruzak's fire was magic so it wouldn't really. . . and Martelai was using the same abilities as I, sort of. . .I think Catein was trying to incapacitate not Punish punish. . . Then her eyes fell on Kendrick.
"Yeah! What he said!"

Those men are not touched by madness, they have lost their minds, in as literal a sense as I have ever experienced... The words are incredulous, a short pause, Atlas is correct, we must preserve these husks for research! Keep the brain intact!
Veruzak was less perturbed by the state of the minds he found, and more by his inability to touch Rayn. As if a force were holding him out, a barrier of white noise.
His parties display was impressive, swift, and to the point. His shadar-kai side was beaming. Until he glanced Catein, and remembered which side of the law he was on. Bunching in around his nose, the tattoos still faintly pulsed, as Veruzak made the scrunchy face of hate.

in the red {les culinettes}
After a few months' hiatus, les culinettes (a potluck dinner club of like-minded ladies) was back in full force a few weeks ago with a red-themed dinner at Emily's beautiful Woodbridge home. Because of the length of time that passed since the last dinner (September! yoinks…), we were all extra-excited and inspired this time around. Since the green-themed dinner went over so well, Emily decided to do a similar theme but with red food. Once again, I was impressed by the variety and breadth of people's contributions- red pepper hummus (Emily), an African curried chickpea stew (also Emily), Spanish stuffed ancho chiles (Abigail), a salad with lots of red accents (Meghan), beet ravioli with brown butter & sage (Sarah), roasted red pepper & tuna tapas (Amy), fries with homemade ketchup (Christina), a red onion vegetable tart (Molly), and even cherry-pomegranate bourbon jello shots (Molly again)! You'll forgive my phone photos, I hope… I forgot to bring my camera, but can't resist sharing some shots of this amazing food.
I had a bunch of pitted tart Michigan cherries in the freezer left over from some Beau Bien jam-making, so I offered to bring dessert. I made a buttermilk ice cream, and to go on top, cherries in a light syrup infused with vanilla and a touch of cinnamon. I thought it might be nice to have something to soak up all the sauce, so I also made shortcake-type biscuits, and sprinkled them with a little red sugar to get in the spirit of things. By the time we got to dessert, I was shocked anyone had room left, but then again, I always am! Luckily everyone rallied, since it would have been a difficult dish to take home for later.

gu detroit sherry tasting party
So, I know it's Christmas Eve and you're all probably running around doing your last-minute preparations. But I've been sitting on this post for a long while now and wanted to get it published- there's a recipe for romesco sauce that you just might be interested in if you need a last-minute appetizer for a Christmas or New Year's party.
There ain't no party like a Detroit… sherry tasting!
Those of you who have been following this blog are familiar by now with the GU Detroit*, a loose collective of "food and drink professionals and serious enthusiasts". A couple months ago the topic of sherry came up in the forums, and since no one was extremely knowledgeable, and because we all love an excuse to get together and imbibe, our friend and cohort Suzanne seized the occasion to host a sherry tasting.
*That's "gee-you Detroit", short for Gourmet Underground, not "goo Detroit", in case you were wondering.
The GU Detroit gang being what it is, I shouldn't have been surprised to walk in and see a large table groaning with the weight of what seemed like several tons of food- Spanish charcuterie, cheeses, olives, and tapas of all sorts were nestled in tightly, and I was challenged to find room for my contributions. Although I should be used to this kind of spread at a GUD event, it was still a bit overwhelming and I had that "kid in a candy store" feeling for at least the first hour I was there.
In addition to about 10 or 12 types of sherry, there were wines (including several bottles of Les Hérétiques, a GUD favorite that Putnam and Jarred turned us on to) and homemade cider my brother brought. The tasting was semi-organized in relation to the number of people there- someone (Evan or Putnam, I'm guessing?) had lined up the bottles in order from the pale finos to the darker, richer olorosos so that we could attempt some semblance of a proper tasting. However, due to the somewhat chaotic nature of the event, I can't tell you much beside the fact that I preferred the lighter sherries; the intense raisiny flavors of the darker sherries were not as much to my liking.
I hadn't had a chance to cook for quite some time, so the day of the party I decided to go all out and make three different tapas to bring. Flipping through The New Spanish Table, I came across a recipe for deviled eggs with tuna (which I blogged about in a less breezy post than this) that sounded perfect. I also made a batch of romesco sauce from the same book, a paste (although that word makes it sound less appealing than it is) made from hazelnuts and peppers and garlic and sherry vinegar that can be eaten with crudites. Last but not least, I sauteed some button mushrooms with garlic and parsley. I think I'm at my cooking-mojo best at times like these- when I have the day to consecrate to the task, and an event to prepare for.
I can't wait for the next GU Detroit gathering, aka excuse for me to actually cook. I'm not anticipating doing much cooking to speak of in the next month (not counting lots of scrambled eggs/omelettes and salads for dinner), as I focus on packing and moving house and getting the new house in order, so unless there's an event to kick me into gear it may be a while before you hear from me, at least regarding new recipes! But I'll be around, regaling you with other food-related news and happenings.
For now though, here's the romesco recipe. If you've never tried it, I strongly encourage you to do so- it's a nice break from all the roasted red pepper hummus and cheese spreads and ranch flavored veggie dips so prominent around this time of year. In addition to using it as a dip, it has other applications as well- in the Zuni Cafe Cookbook, Judy Rodgers cooks shrimp in it (I've made this too and it's uhhh-mazing!!) and I can picture it as a great sauce for chicken too.
Romesco Sauce (adapted from The New Spanish Table)
1 medium-sized ñora pepper or ancho chile
⅔ cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 ½ Tbs toasted breadcrumbs
1 small ripe plum tomato, chopped (if unseasonal, substitute 1 good quality canned plum tomato or 3-4 Tbs canned diced tomatoes)
1 Tbs sweet (not smoked) paprika
pinch of cayenne
6 Tbs fragrant extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbs sherry vinegar (quality red wine vinegar may be substituted)
coarse saltNotes: I could not locate a ñora pepper or ancho chile when I made this last time, so I used something labeled "chile California" which, although inauthentic, worked fine. Also, almonds may be substituted for the hazelnuts, or a combination used. The sauce will have a slightly different character but will still be delicious. If you want to gild the lily, fry the nuts in olive oil instead of dry-toasting them.
Soak the dried pepper in very hot water until softened, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the stem and seeds and tear into small pieces, either before or after the soaking, whichever is easiest. Reserve the soaking liquid.
Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse a few times until roughly chopped. Add the garlic, pepper, paprika, tomato, breadcrumbs, cayenne and ⅓ cup of the pepper water and pulse until fairly smooth but retaining some texture. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil, processing until completely incorporated.
Scrape the contents into a clean bowl, stir in the vinegar, and season with salt to taste. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature for the flavors to meld, then taste and season with more salt or vinegar as necessary.
Serve with crudités such as endive leaves, fennel or celery sticks, or use as a sauce for grilled shrimp, chicken or asparagus.
braised cod with pistachio & preserved lemon pesto
A few months ago I got an email from a gentleman at Oh! Nuts asking if I'd like to sample some product, and maybe I could write a recipe about it. I was thinking of all kinds of treats to make- ice creams, tarts, etc. But when the package came, I was too busy to do anything with it so I made like a drag queen and tucked the nuts away. Then recently I checked out A16: Food + Wine from the library (yes I know, I'm behind the curve on this book that was much-hyped around Christmas 2008) and saw a recipe for halibut with a pistachio, parsley, and preserved lemon pesto (try saying that three times fast!). It sounded like a perfect summer dish and a great excuse to use some of those pistachios.
Incidentally, can I just dork out for a moment and say how exciting it was to get my first shipment of free swag?? I've been offered a couple other things here and there but nothing I would actually use. Free nuts was a major score, as A) I love nuts of all kinds, and B) nuts are freaking expensive! The company sent me pistachios, hazelnuts, and steamed, peeled chestnuts, which I think I'll save for an autumnal dish. [Can I also say to all the bloggers who are always griping on Twitter about how many PR emails/offers they get, it's a little hard to have pity. Gee, you poor thing, your blog is well-known enough for you to get PR pitches and free stuff all the time. Boo hoo!]
I was really happy about how this recipe turned out, and although I made it with fish, I could easily imagine this pesto-like sauce as an accompaniment to roast chicken or on pasta for a vegan dish. As a side dish, I just drizzled some artichokes with olive oil and lemon and tossed a few olives in for good measure. I picked up a nice bottle of Auratus Alvarinho selected by Jeffrey at Holiday Market that was moderately priced and a great compliment to the food; A16 suggests a Sicilian Carricante if you can find that. As far as a "review" of the nuts, they were perfectly fine, fresh, etc. Of course I always advocate buying local first, but if you can't find something you need, the Oh!Nuts website is a good alternative.
A note on fish: To find out whether a certain fish is on the endangered/ unsustainable list, check here. Re: substituting fish, Mark Bittman's book Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking is an excellent resource; for each type of fish, he lists several other species which can be interchanged in recipes.
Pistachio & Preserved Lemon Pesto (adapted from A16: Food + Wine)
printer-friendly version1 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios
2 cups parsley leaves, loosely packed
1 Tbs capers (salt-packed if possible)
½ a preserved lemon, peel only
½ tsp dried chili flakes
½ cup olive oil
sea salt if needed
fresh lemon wedges and additional olive oil for servingNote: This pesto is best served the day it is made.
Soak the capers and preserved lemon peel in cold water to remove some of the salt. Roughly chop the parsley. Put it in the bowl of a food processor (if you have a smaller-sized bowl, this works best) along with the pistachios, chili flakes and capers (drained and rinsed). Pulse while adding the olive oil in a thin stream, scraping down the sides once or twice, until the pistachios are well-chopped. Alternately, you can make the pesto in a mortar and pestle; you'll want to chop the parsley more finely for this version. For fish or chicken, I prefer a looser pesto where the nuts are left slightly chunky, but for pasta you could process it a bit more if desired. Finely dice the preserved lemon peel and stir into the pesto; taste for salt (mine did not need any; the capers and preserved lemons were salty enough to season the mixture).
To serve with pasta, simply toss the pesto with 1 lb pasta that has been cooked in well-salted water. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil if desired, and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
Braised Halibut with Pistachio & Preserved Lemon Pesto (adapted from A16: Food + Wine)
printer-friendly versionOne recipe Pistachio & Preserved Lemon Pesto
1½-2 lbs halibut fillets (sustainably sourced cod can be substituted), cut into 6 serving pieces
sea saltNote: The A16 recipe calls for halibut, but at $19 a pound it was a bit out of reach for me so I substituted cod. The cod was thinner but I folded under the thinnest ends to ensure a more even cooking, and adjusted my cooking time downward.
Season the halibut fillets with sea salt at least one hour and up to four hours prior to cooking. Remove from refrigerator ½ hour before cooking to allow to come to room temperature (less time will be needed for thinner fish). Preheat oven to 400°. Drain off any liquid that has accumulated and place the fish in a glass baking dish. Divide the pesto evenly among the fillets, pressing down so it adheres. Place a small amount of water in the bottom of the dish, enough to come about a third of the way up the fish.
Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through; this will depend on type and thickness of fish, so keep a close eye on it. (Fish is done when it is just firm to the touch; it will continue to cook for another couple minutes after removed from the oven, so it's best to err on the side of ever-so-slightly underdone.) Drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Taste the braising liquid and drizzle some of this on top if desired. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
buttermilk-sweet corn ice cream with berry coulis
What to do when faced with two ice cream recipes that sound equally fabulous, and a bout of indecision? Combine them, of course!
I was recently invited to a weeknight dinner party and volunteered to bring ice cream, as I could make it ahead and just grab it after work on my way to the party. I love an excuse to make ice cream, because the flavor possibilities are pretty endless (if you don't believe me, check out this article in the NY Times… scoop of Government Cheese, anyone?). I found out another guest was bringing a blackberry pie, so that helped narrow it down. I thought of a buttermilk ice cream I'd made last summer from Smitten Kitchen, but I also had in mind a sweet corn ice cream I'd had years ago at Tapawingo* in Ellsworth, MI. The restaurant served the ice cream with a berry cobbler and the combination was perfect. I was torn- which one to make?
I decided to throw caution to the wind and combine the two flavors (yes, I am being facetious, as I realize this won't win any awards for all-time most daring ice cream flavor). Both recipes were originally from Claudia Fleming (author of well-loved dessert book The Last Course) and had similar proportions, so it was pretty easy to adapt the two by simply substituting buttermilk for the regular milk called for in the sweet corn recipe. I added half a vanilla bean for good measure, and crossed my fingers. The results were pretty spectacular if I do say so myself. The slightly tart buttermilk was a welcome counterpoint to the corn's milky sweetness. In fact, I liked the pairing so much that I was thinking of trying to adapt this flavor combination into some sort of chilled summer soup- like a Midwestern chlodnik of sorts.
If you're not serving this ice cream with a berry cobbler or pie, I highly recommend drizzling it with a berry coulis- the flavors are highly complimentary, and while the ice cream is great on its own, the berries take it to another level. If you don't want to go to the trouble of making a coulis (although it's quite easy), you could of course just scatter some berries alongside.
A couple of ice cream-making notes: Fleming's recipes call for 9 yolks and 12 yolks, but I cut it down to 8 and it was just fine. You could even go with 6 if you wanted. The buttermilk is richer than the milk it replaces, so your result will still be plenty indulgent. As for making the custard base- there seems to be this great fear, perpetuated by many a cookbook, that custard-making is fraught with danger; that it might betray you at any moment, turning hopelessly into scrambled eggs. For years, I cooked my custards at much-too-low temperatures, sweating over them for eons, waiting in vain for them to magically thicken. Don't be afraid to heat the mixture until you can see steam coming off it; otherwise you'll be at it forEVER. As long as you keep up the stirring and don't let it boil, you'll be OK. Also, because of the high liquid ratio this particular custard doesn't get very thick, so don't worry if it seems wimpy; when it freezes it'll be just fine.
*In searching for the restaurant's website for this post, I was saddened to learn that Tapawingo closed its doors last year. Arguably the best restaurant in Michigan, they garnered all kinds of awards, stars and accolades. Like many Michigan businesses, they were forced to close because of the downturn in the economy. They will be sorely missed. In addition to breathtaking meals with a focus on local MI products long before it was trendy, the grounds and gardens of the restaurant were gorgeous. I can only hope someone decides to take up the reins and re-open something in that location, although they'd have big shoes to fill food-wise.
Buttermilk-Sweet Corn Ice Cream (adapted from two recipes by Claudia Fleming)
printer-friendly version2 cups buttermilk
2 cups heavy cream
8 egg yolks
¾ cup sugar
pinch of salt
4 ears sweet corn
½ a vanilla bean (1 tsp vanilla extract may be substituted)Note: As Ms. Fleming wisely points out, this recipe will only be as good as the sweet corn you use to make it. For optimal results, use local corn that has been picked no more than 2 days prior.
Directions: Remove the husks and cornsilk from the corn and break each cob into thirds. Cut the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife, reserving the cobs. Put the kernels in a blender with the cream and buttermilk and pulse into a rough purée.
Pour the cream mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, adding the corncob pieces, vanilla bean, salt, and ½ cup of the sugar. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let steep for one hour.
Remove the corncobs and discard. Fish out the vanilla bean and set aside. Strain the mixture through a medium or fine mesh strainer, pressing down firmly to expel as much of the liquid as possible; discard the solids*. Return to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean, adding them to the cream mixture (if using vanilla extract, add it now).
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining ¼ cup sugar. Whisk in a little of the hot cream to temper the yolks, then add them to the saucepan. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a spoon. Pass through a fine mesh strainer and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (at least 4 hours). Freeze in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Makes about 1 quart.
*I couldn't help but think that rather than tossing it, this deliciously sweetened corn pap would be great in some sort of muffin or quick bread, but alas, I didn't have a chance to experiment. And speaking of not wasting, you can rinse off the vanilla bean, let it dry, and blitz it with sugar to make vanilla sugar.
Mixed Berry Coulis
printer-friendly version1 1/2 cups raspberries, washed
1 1/2 cups blueberries, washed
1/4 cup sugar
squeeze of lemon or dash of balsamic vinegar, optionalNotes: You can, of course, substitute other types of berries; you may just need to slightly tweak the sugar quantity. This recipe does not produce an overly sweet sauce; if you want a sweeter result you can up the sugar to 1/3 cup.
Place the blueberries and sugar in a pan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. (The residual water from washing the berries should be sufficient, but if not, you can add a small amount of water.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to break down; you can encourage this process by mashing them with a fork.
When the blueberries have turned sauce-like, add the raspberries and cook for a couple minutes longer (these will break down very quickly). Taste the sauce and adjust if needed by adding a bit more sugar or a squeeze of lemon or small dash of balsamic. Strain the sauce through a chinoise or fine mesh strainer, pressing down on the solids (you may need to do this in 2 batches). You should end up with about 2 cups sauce and 1/2 cup solids to be discarded. Use as a sauce for ice cream, panna cotta or other desserts.
venison & porcini ragù (the venison diaries, part I)
My dad grew up on a Michigan farm, and has been hunting for most of his life. Even though he has a decidedly white-collar profession and hasn't lived anywhere near a farm in decades, he still enjoys going deer hunting every chance he gets. I would often go hunting with him as a little girl, practicing with a toy bow and arrow set in the backyard and eagerly looking forward to being old enough to get my hunting license. Of course, by the time I actually reached that age, we had moved to suburbia and I was more interested in my sticker collection than hunting. But I still have fond memories of the one-on-one time spent enjoying nature and my dad's company.
Ironically, although I enjoyed the hunting excursions, I hated venison as a kid. My mom would try to sneak it into recipes, but we always knew what it was and there was lots of whining at the dinner table on those occasions from myself and my siblings. Luckily, my tastes have matured and I now enjoy venison quite a bit. It doesn't have the ferrous aftertaste I recall being turned off by as a kid- I don't know if it's a matter of kids having more "sensitive" taste buds, or if the venison I've had recently just happens to be milder due to the deer's diet. Whatever the case, I have been enjoying the bounty that has been thrown my way- my dad has gotten 8 deer so far this year, and sent me home from my Thanksgiving visit with a couple packages of salami sticks and about 6 lbs of frozen ground venison. My goal is to create 6 different recipes and blog about them all- I figure I can't be the only one with a bunch of venison in their freezer, and perhaps people are looking for some new ideas. I'd like to create recipes that compliment venison's unique flavor, rather than try to mask it or pass it off as a ground beef substitute.
With that in mind, I present you with this first installment in "The Venison Diaries". I made an Italian-style ragù (i.e. meat sauce) using techniques from The Splendid Table, enhancing the earthy flavor of the meat with cognac and porcini mushrooms (or cèpes, for all you francophones). Venison is an extremely lean meat, so don't feel guilty about the pancetta and butter in this recipe! I also added a smidge of ground pork and veal to round out the flavor and texture, as ground venison can tend to be a bit dry and crumbly on its own. Simmering the meat in milk, as in some versions of the classic sauce Bolognese, also helped keep things tender, and gave body to the sauce. The results were just as I'd hoped- deeply savory and rich, and perfect with thick noodles and a sturdy red wine.
Venison & Porcini Mushroom Ragù
printer-friendly version1 lb ground venison
¼ lb ground pork
¼ lb ground veal
2 oz. pancetta (as for a slice about ⅓" thick), diced small
1 medium carrot, diced small
½ stick celery, diced small
1 large shallot, minced
1 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
⅓ cup cognac
1 cup whole milk
1 Tbs tomato paste
1 Tbs butter
1½ tsp minced fresh rosemary
1½ tsp thyme leaves
4-6 sage leaves, minced
salt & pepperfor serving:
tagliatelli or egg noodles
grated Parmigiano or Grana Padana
minced fresh parsley (optional)Notes: If you don't have all the fresh herbs and don't want to spend the money, I'd at least go with the thyme. If you don't have cognac you could substitute red wine and just use a bit more, like ½ to ¾ cup. But a little cognac is always a good thing to have on hand for impromptu pan sauces or the occasional after-dinner nip.
Directions: Bring about 2 cups water to a boil. Place dried porcinis in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Cover and let stand for at least 10-15 minutes. When mushrooms are softened, remove them gently so as not to disturb the grit at the bottom of the dish. Set mushrooms aside and strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter; reserve 1½ cups.
Place the venison, pork and veal into a large bowl. Season generously with salt & pepper and mix with a wooden spoon until the meats are well incorporated.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté the pancetta over medium heat for a few minutes until it begins to render some of its fat. Add up to 1 Tbs butter as needed so that there is enough fat in the pan to cook the vegetables. Add the shallot, carrot and celery and cook until the carrots begin to soften, stirring often.
Increase the heat slightly and add the meat to the pan. Cook the meat, stirring and breaking it up gently, until you no longer see any liquid in the bottom of the pan; this could take up to 15 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and cook for a few more minutes to give the meat a chance to brown. Stir in the tomato paste, herbs and mushrooms.
Add the cognac and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Add the mushroom broth ½ cup at a time, letting it cook off before adding more. Add the milk and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat a noodle. Taste for salt, adding as needed.
Serve over tagliatelli or egg noodles with a dusting of cheese and a pinch of fresh parsley.

The recent push toward achieving interoperability in smart grid areas, combined with entry of communications megavendors such as Cisco in the smart grid communications market, favors Internet Protocol-based communications technology and has raised interest in more ubiquitous nonutility-specific communications technology such as WiMAX.
The constant push to provide better use of assets and labor resources, combined with the need to transform the traditional energy-delivery infrastructure into a smart grid, forces utilities to consider implementing communications technologies that provide better visibility in asset performance, resource availability and end-user energy consumption.
Strategy Change
Traditionally, utility companies have considered communications technology as a component of the particular initiative, such as a mobile workforce management project, a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or distribution automation initiative, an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) deployment or even a platform from which to venture into a commercial broadband service offering.
Although requirements for data latency, coverage scope, bandwidth, criticality and nature of transmitting information (event notification, remote control, access to enterprise applications and scheduled meter reads) as well as the ownership of the communications systems (private/public) may be different, utilities are increasingly taking a strategic enterprise approach when evaluating their communications needs.
This does not necessarily mean a one-size-fits-all approach, although, when considering AMI deployment, utilities frequently consider the use of an AMI communications backbone to support the needs for remote asset monitoring using machine-to-machine (M2M) or mobile workforce management requirements. Many vendors (such as Silver Spring Networks, Landis+Gyr or Trilliant) market their communications solutions with multiple utility purposes in mind.
The smart grid drive toward better observability of the distribution network requires SCADA-like M2M monitoring systems using different communications technologies and approaches, such as personal-area network, local area network (LAN) and wide area network. The need to support consumer energy efficiency and demand management through AMI requires a complex communications backbone, including a variety of technology — from a home-area network (HAN), mesh wireless LAN, broadband over power line (BPL) to backhaul via public communications networks.
Mobile Technologies
Because of the distributed nature of the utility asset, communication technology that needs to support utility mobile workforce management is typically provided by either commercially available cellular services — based on the Global System for Mobile Communications, general packet radio service, Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution, wideband CDMA, 1x radio transmission technology/CDMA or 1x evolution-data optimized — or by a data channel in private mobile radio systems.
Asset Monitoring
The communications technology used to support asset monitoring and sensing with simple processing capability is usually connected as a mesh network. This provides a low-cost and robust way to distribute tens to thousands of sensors, such as active radio-frequency identification. Mesh networks are self-organizing and self-managing, and most are dynamic, so nodes can be added and removed anytime.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure
The drive toward AMI deployment has pushed traditional low-tech automated meter reading communications requirements to more complex AMI communications solutions combining several technologies. Most of the current AMI deployments include connections to a HAN (using ZigBee, HomePlug or Wi-Fi) to support consumer-based energy-efficiency initiatives and demand-response solutions. LAN (depending on population density) can use ZigBee, mesh wireless technology, star wireless technology or a wired BPL/power line communication to an aggregation point. The final leg, from concentrators (mostly at the feeder or substation level) to backhaul readings into a central repository, is usually done by a public cellular data network or a private fiber network.
The diversity of communications technologies and a lack of standards present the largest inhibitors for AMI technology selection, although some of the components, such as ZigBee for HAN and mesh wireless for LAN, are emerging as the most common solutions.

Quote:Magellan I was a typical DSC setup using a typical Tangent DSC controller. Magellan II was a more elaborate setup, using a controller similar to that of the LXD650/750 and LX200 mounts. It provided limited goto operation, comparable to that of early Vixen rigs (slew rates were quite slow and, as you comment, the DEC can't be slewed very far anyway on the Meade GEM models). You would manually move to the right area and the Mag II would control the final motion. I think they finally got that system working just before they discontinued it.Both Mag 1 and Mag II were offered in versions with hardware specific to various mounts. You'd have to find one with the correct hardware for the mount you plan to use.
