We just found the perfect gift for the Star Wars fan who already seems to have every Star Wars-related product you can think of. Chances are pretty good that they do not already own a 16-foot-tall, beautifully detailed replica of an All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST).
This awesome chicken walker is currently up for sale on eBay for the modest price of £9,800 (~$15,700). It's a one-of-a-kind prop, handmade out of metal and wood. It's been weather-proofed and even comes its own trailer. Right now it's located in Bristol, England, but maybe its next home will be your own front yard.
Visit the AT-ST's eBay listing for more photos and information.

Pegasus TransTech is offering a new smartphone application designed to allow drivers to accept loads, update trip status, report accidents and claims, send/receive messages and delivery documents.
The company says its Transflo Mobile+ gives carries the ability to send load information even when drivers are not in their truck. The app interfaces with a fleet's transportation management system in order to show a driver available loads. The driver can accept or decline a load, confirm delivery or pickup from the smartphone.
Other new features include giving drivers the ability to take color pictures and fill out electronic forms, such as accident or claim forms. A new settlement function allows drivers to easily find out when they are paid for a load.
The application's user interface is customizable, Pegasus said, fleets can add their own logo and choose other preferences such as indexing, or to select the functions and applications drivers can use.
The Mobile+ app includes many of the same functions as the Transflo Mobile including the ability to scan and send documents with automatic cropping and image enhancement as well as a motion restriction function to promote safe use.

Introduced to the Booth via Brooklyn emcee-producer J. J. Brown's Gender Bender, Eternia is one of an ever-growing class of femcees who can rock the mic as well as any fella (and better than most). On her latest mixtape leak and solo Booth debut, the T-dot up-and-comer gives readers a little more insight into what makes her tick, chronicling her growth from a Foul Child into a full-fledged lyrical powerhouse. Backed by Ant B.'s stark, organ-percussion instrumental (complete with a hook sampled from the late Big L's '94 debut single, Put It On), Eternia takes us all the way back to her '80s childhood, describing her early family life and her musical beginnings as a fifth grader dropping rhymes to impress her classmates. Finally, she snaps back to the present day to explain just how little she cares about the paper chase: "I am too clever, to desire what you endeavor/ No, never can you convince me with rotten cheddar." Those digging this lyrically-astute jam can hear more on Eternia's Get Caught Up mixtape when it hits the 'net next Tuesday, December 15.

Oh snap!

Get your trading cards ready,

Cause we're about to throw down!

Everybody in the place,

shuffle your ******* deck!

But make sure you don't have any illegal cards

Or you shall be disqualified!!

(God Cards are okay though)

I'm on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

Everybody look at me,

'cause I'm duelling on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

Take a good hard look at the mother ******* blimp!

I'm on a blimp, ************

In the ******* sky

Straight pimping on a blimp

And I'm so high.

Yugi Moto wears clothes like a ******* gimp.

He can't stop me and my minions,

Cause I'm on a blimp.

Hit the ignition switch.

I'm on a blimp, bitch.

We're playing card games in the sky

Cause I'm so rich.

I got locator cards,

And my duel disk.

I'm winning finals,

You're in Duelist Kingdom losing star chips!

I'm riding on a dragon,

Shooting flames and smoke,

It's breathing fire,

Making everybody choke,

But this ain't Middle Earth,

And we're not Frodo and Sam,

And we're not gay by the way,

Least I don't think that I am.

I'm on a blimp and

It's going fast and

We're flying over a city that looks like Zanarkand.

I'm the KaibaCorp King

On a blimp like Kiki,

If you're on the ground

Then you're sure not me-me.

Get the **** up!

This blimp is real!

**** land, I'm in the clouds, mother ****** !

**** Squall, I like Cloud, mother ****** !

My fangirls think I'm well-endowed, mother ****** !

To murder Yugi's what I've vowed, mother ****** !

Hey dad, if you could see me here,

Arms spread wide as the fangirls cheer,

Sounding just like Solid Snake from Metal Gear,

With Obelisk in my deck,

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Yeah.

Never thought I'd be in the air

I'm just a fluffy cute teddy bear

Lord Satan

Look at me,

Oh.

Never thought I'd feel so well

It would be funny if somebody fell.

Hey, what's that burning smell?

Oh, it's your mother playing card games in hell!

I'm on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

Everybody look at me,

'cause I'm duelling on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

I'm on a blimp!

Take a good hard look at the mother ******* blimp!

Dear Sam: I am 43 years old and have 20 years of work experience in sales, management, customer service and business ownership. I recently returned to school and graduated with a degree in finance last year.
I am beginning my job search in the finance sector. Should I list my entire job history on my résumé, as I have done in the past? My résumé is in chronological form. What would be your suggestion? — Tracey
Dear Tracey: First of all, congratulations on your recent graduation.
To answer your question: No, you probably should not list your entire 20-year career on your résumé.
I imagine you will need to position your candidacy at a more "junior level" since as you don't have finance experience in your background, so presenting 20 years of work experience would only make you seem overqualified and too expensive.
Instead, present your most recent experience, maybe seven to 10 years, and utilize your course work and any class projects to infuse your résumé with finance key words.
Depending on the abundance — or lack thereof — of relevant projects you have to present, you could even consider adding a section to your résumé that highlights your academic experiences.
Doing this would allow you to fully explore your newly gained knowledge of the finance industry. You can also add those ever-so-important key words to your résumé, and push less-related experience to the bottom of Page 1.
When presenting earlier, non-finance-related work experience, be sure to market the transferability of those positions so the experience qualifies — rather than disqualifies — you for your current career objective. Best of luck in your job search, and in your new career.

Friday, October 09, 2009, 05:00 am PT (08:00 am ET)
Apple again causes worldwide NAND flash shortageDemand for flash memory has outstripped supply for major manufacturers, and the reason once again is said to be the popularity of Apple devices like the iPhone and iPod touch.
Demand for flash in the third quarter of 2009 exceeded supply by an estimated 1.3 percent, according to data from DRAMeXchange, as relayed by DigiTimes. That deficit is expected to grow to 3.3 percent during the coming holiday season, as manufacturers continue to favor Apple with their supply.
"Taiwan-based memory module houses are moving to diversify their NAND flash suppliers to minimize procurement risk, according to industry sources," the report said. "NAND flash supply has reportedly become tighter as major chip producers Samsung Electronics, Toshiba, Micron and Hynix Semiconductor favor demand for Apple devices."
While many module makers in Taiwan currently depend on Samsung for their flash memory supply, they are now likely to look elsewhere due to an expected shortage. The report suggests that IM Flash could get most of the new business.
Samsung is reportedly planning to launch two memory cards under its own brand, which has led people in the industry to believe that chip supply will not meet demand through November.
Demand for flash is expected to grow 81 percent in 2010, based on the growth of smartphone sales. Manufacturers are predicted to be able to meet that demand for the first half of the year.
However, by the end of 2010, DRAMeXchange expects demand to again outstrip supply. It estimates that supply will grow 79 percent next year, falling behind the growth in demand.
As demand has grown before the coming holiday season, so, too, have prices associated with NAND flash.
"Contract prices for mainstream 16GB and 32GB MLC NAND flash chips rose 7-8% and 8-14%, respectively, to average US$4.98 and US$7.68 in the first half of October, according to DRAMeXchange data," the report said. "The 64GB segment also saw a price rally of 6-13% to US$14.50 on average."
Those prices are higher than in September, when a 16GB chip was $4.48, and 32GB cost $6.80.
At that time, it was also reported that there was a "serious shortage" of NAND flash memory due to the popularity of Apple products. Manufacturers said they intended to limit the supply of memory to all companies other than Apple.
In September, Apple announced a number of new flash-based iPod offerings, including a 64GB iPod touch, its largest capacity flash-based player yet. It also introduced a new iPod nano that shoots video. It offers 8GB or 16GB of storage.

Lauren Odes, Lingerie Company Employee, Fired For Being Too Hot, Files Sexual Discrimination Lawsuitby Free Britney at . Comments
A New Jersey woman says she was fired from her job after her manager told her to "tape her breasts" down, and now has filed suit against the company.
Claiming religious and sexual discrimination, former data entry worker Lauren Odes said that after two days with Native Intimates, she was humiliated.
For no other reason than being voluptuous, too.
A supervisor at the midtown Manhattan wholesale lingerie company told her the owners were not happy with her outfit, calling it too "distracting."
"When I first started working there, I asked what the dress code was, and was told to look around and see what everyone else was wearing," Odes said.
"So I did. The dress was very casual athletic wear to business attire."
Lauren Odes said the company owners are Orthodox Jews who were offended by her attire, and that the dispute ultimately cost her a job.
At a news conference announcing the lawsuit, with Gloria Allred (obviously) by her side, she said that at first she compromised.
She said she'd wear a gray T-shirt and black jeggings with rain boots to work, but that wasn't enough for the powers that be:"When my supervisors suggested that I tape down my breasts, I asked 'Are you kidding me?' The supervisor said, 'Just cover up a little more.'"
The female supervisor then walked over to a closet, pulled out a bright red bathrobe decorated with pictures of guitars, and told Odes to put it on.
"She told me to sit at my desk and wear it all day. I felt completely humiliated," Odes said. "She put the bathrobe on me and tied the belt."
"I returned to my desk wearing it."
Her supervisor then gave her the option of to go out and buy a sweater that "went to her ankles" instead of wearing the bathrobe, she said.
After being ridiculed and made fun of by co-workers, Odes obliged.
"I sat in the bathroom for a while crying. I'd prefer to go out and buy a sweater rather than sit there in the bathrobe feeling humiliated," Odes said.
But while she was out shopping for the sweater, the 29-year-old got a phone call saying she'd been terminated, she said. Just like that.
Now, Odes, with the help of Allred, has filed suit against Native Intimates with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"The treatment was discriminatory, profoundly humiliating and unlawful," Allred said.
Odes, who said she is also Jewish, said no employer has the right to impose their religious beliefs on employees.
"I do not feel an employer has the right to impose their religious beliefs on me when I'm working in a business that's not a synagogue, but sells things with hearts on the female genitals and boy shorts for women that say hot in the buttocks area," she said.
i mean she isn't ugly, but hot is a strong word..... nevertheless, what her ex bosses did was wrong. i'll be damned!
I would have fired her for that annoying voice!
I love all you women who are saying that she isn't hot lol. How about I get you all a nice big glass of hater-aide, & in the meantime you let us guys tell you what actually is & isn't hot when it comes to women. That rack is amazing! The piercings, hair, everything! Just because many of you girls waste your time & money reading magazines (written by women) that promote meaningless things, which few guys actually care about like painted nails, or "wear this", and "do your hair like that", don't be mad at her for actually getting it! Do you see us going on your blogs & trashing Robert Patterson's prepubescent body? No... This woman is a smoke-box! Get over it ladies! I think that every one of you girls who have the guts to comment on this woman's looks should include a picture of yourself in the avatar. Don't wanna do that though do ya?
"Why the heck are Orthodox Jews selling sexy lingerie?!" really? all Orthodoxy is about modesty out of the confines of a bedroom between a married couple, anything to spice up a healthy relationship is great!
I think they meant, "Fired for being a Hot Mess."
Hair Fail. Shower girl! You on national television! Gloria, buy that girl a bottle of shampoo. For oily hair.
They have to stop with the headline about being hot. We're all scratching our heads out here wondering wtf they're talking about?!
She never learned how to take care of the boss. Her tongue is pierced and no one mentioned that?
Why the heck are Orthodox Jews selling sexy lingerie?! That just seems hypocritical...

The Sardinia region
Sea, beautiful beaches and lots of sun. Few cities in Sardinia overlooking the sea with the grace of Alghero, the capital of the Riviera del Corallo, situated in the north-west of the island. It 'a quiet and beautiful corner. Not by chance the British had discovered it since the sixties.
Alghero is rich in history, monuments, craft workshops, beautiful beaches, nice restaurants and pubs where people usually stay out late at night. The Civic Square, considered the lounge of the city, expresses the atmosphere of the place. A mix of ancient and modern, the importance of the past is visible by walking along the cobblestone of the old town even more animated in summer time but never invaded by the artificial life of many other places.
Alghero is an island in the island. People before spoke Catalan and still preserves Catalan traditions and its language is still spoken and also used to name streets. The best examples of Catalan Gothic style are the Cathedral and the cloister of St. Francis. The most spectacular natural beauty of the area are the Neptune Cave's, the Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju and the Nuraghe Palmavera.

UEFA has announced that the seeding for the Champions League will change next season, a decision that will have potentially a huge impact on the fortunes in Europe of English and Spanish sides.
The existing UEFA format means that seeding is based on the results of clubs competing in the five previous seasons of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
All-Time Top Goalscorers In Europe and International Football - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Here is a look at the all-time top goalscorers from the biggest leagues in the World, as well as the UEFA Champions League, FIFA World Cup and European Championships.
Starting with the English Premier League top scorers that dates back to 1992 when the league pulled away from the Football League.
The best club tournament in the world returns this week, as Real Madrid will begin defence of their Champions League trophy on Tuesday.
The competition kicks off with an array of enticing fixtures, including Arsenal's trip to Borussia Dortmund, the first of three showdowns between the Premier League and Bundesliga, as Manchester City also play Bayern Munich and Chelsea meet Schalke.
The curious case of Adrien Rabiot - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Adrien Rabiot is still a PSG midfielder but that might change in six-months' time. Arsenal and Roma were thought to be interested in the precocious 19-year-old with the later more likely to sign him up when the transfer window re-opens in January.

The hysteria of transfer Deadline Day has come and gone, and like a fraternity the day after hosting a "Back to Campus" party, a number of teams have to live with the consequences of their rushed decisions. On World Soccer Talk we've covered a number of angles on the pros and cons of the transfer window for the teams, leagues and media companies, however, we haven't touched on the transfer window itself.
In a weekend full of surprises Real Madrid and Manchester City both lost and Bayern Munich were held, while Chelsea scored six and Ibra got a hat trick.
Spain Real Sociedad ended a torrid week on an almighty high as they came from 2-0 down to stun Real Madrid. Having lost to Liga new boys Eibar and exited the UEFA Europa League, another chastening defeat was on the cards, but the Basque club completed a stunning turnaround to win 4-2.
Done Deal: Tottenham agree to sign French midfielder - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign French defensive midfielderBenjamin Stambouli. The 24-year-old midfielder plays for French club Montpellier, who confirmed the news via their official twitter handle.
On Sunday night,October 19,Olympique Lyonnaisthrashed Montpellier 5-1. Yoann Gourcuff netted a brace with Nabil Fékir, Alexandre Lacazette and Steed Malbranque scoring the other goals. Oddly enough this match was a far tenser affair than Lyon's 3-0 triumph over Lille.
In the early stages Montpellier looked lively and wasted a golden chance to take the lead, when Lucas Barrios failed to convert a one-on-one opportunity when racing towards Anthony Lopes' goal.

Having been sent-off against Toulouseat the weekend after the referee took offence at his "sniper" goal celebration, PSG striker Edinson Cavani was treading on eggshells after he spun neatly and popped away the 87th-minute winner against APOEL in the Champions League last night.
Barcelona suffered a rare group stage defeat at Paris Saint-Germain while Manchester City once again struggled at home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The match-up in Paris between PSG and Barcelona brought up the stars with Jay-Z, Beyonce and David Beckham all taking in the game. And they saw Barca concede for the firs time this season as the Lique 1 champions won 3-2.
The marque matchup on Champions League match day two is Barcelona's trip to the Parc des Princes to play French giants Paris Saint-Germain. Barca's trip will be a little easier with the news that PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss Tuesday's match due to a nagging heel problem.
"As the different tests carried out this morning on the problem with his left heel were not satisfactory, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out of the match against Barcelona," said a statement released by PSG on Monday.

Shortly after Marseille had registered their eighth win on the bounce against Toulouse on Saturday to go seven points clear at the top of Ligue 1, coach Marcelo Bielsa was spotted celebrating in the only way he knows how vigorously poring over his side's Prozone stats on his own at a McDonald's just down the road.
By Alan Duffy
Argentinian tactician and all-round look Marcelo Bielsa has done a superb job with Marseille this season in Ligue 1. However, during his side's clash with Toulouse, the unpredictable 59-year-old made a rather bad decision when choosing a place to rest his weary bones.

Paris St Germain have won the French Ligue One in each of the last two years. Backed by Qatar Sports Investments' financial prowess the Parisians have been a class apart from the other sides in the league.
Champagne Football for Bielsa's Marseille! - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Marseille continued to pick up pace under their firebrand coach Marcelo Bielsa with another convincing win in Ligue 1, this time, away at Reims.
After a stuttering start and behind the scenes squabbles, Marseille have now won their last 5 games scoring 16 goals and conceding just 1 sending them top of the Ligue 1 standings.
Everything you need to know about football in France last weekend.
The game of the week-end: Toulouse-Caen
Ligue 1 is not known for its crazy number of goals per games, and the words you hear from players and coaches who discover French football are typically "strong", "defensive", "tight lines".
Already plagued by injuries, PSG will now have a suspension to deal with over the course of the next few weeks after Edinson Cavani was one of three players sent off during their feisty 1-3 victory over RC Lens at theStade de France on Friday evening.
Lens hadbothJean-Philippe Gbamin andJerome Le Moigne dismissed over the course of the evening, with the former picking up asecond yellow in the 54th minute for shovingCavani in the penalty area.
Bastia striker Brandao has been banned for six months by theLigue de Football Professionnel(LFP) for head-butting PSG midfielder Thiago Motta during a confrontation in the tunnel after the fixture between the two sides on 16th August.
Tunnel-cam footage of the incident circulated almost immediately which clearly showedBrandao was guilty of two things: 1) head-butting Motta and then, 2) running away like a massive wimp.
This will surely go down as the summer of the god-awful corner kick, with Wayne Rooney, Serge Gakpe and Keisuke Honda all ensuring an unforgettable few months of abject ineptitude.
The latest addition to the oeuvre comes courtesy of Marseille's Dimitri Payet, who managed to hit the top of the stadium with his corner against Guingamp at the weekend thanks to an interfering piece of loose turf or at least that's what he wants you to think.

Four games have been played in France in this 2014-2015 season. There is no suspense in the title race, as Monaco's ambitious project is going into oblivion after the transfers of James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao, while no club can compete with PSG's dream team. This season, the interesting part will be the race for second and third place between Monaco, Lille, Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne and Marseille.

Ligue 1 side Montpellier HSC are reeling today after their stadium was absolutelydevastated by freak floods on Monday evening.
According to RFI, the city in the south of France was hit by a torrential downpour on Monday night which flooded the city and forced thousands of people to sleepin railway stations, airports and schools.

Partly as a gesture of their appreciation for the increasing the profile ofFrench football and partly, one suspects, because dropping his name into conversation is always good for precious, precious HITZ, Toulouse have sent a special, social media-friendly birthday message to Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the anniversaryof his 33rd year here on Earth.
Coming on the back of the runaway success of his autobiography, "I Am Zlatan", it's being reported in Sweden that a follow-up Zlatan Ibrahimovic movie may well be in the works.

One of AS Monaco's largest supporters groups is urging fellow fans to take action and start demanding refunds for their season tickets after the Ligue 1 club flogged off two of their biggest stars, James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao, over the summer.
According to L'Equipe, the aggrieved administrators of thePlanete ASM fan site have issued a blog statement entitled,"Supporters, demand a refund for your season ticket," in which they implore "hungover" Monaco fans to do just that.

It's edging ever closerandManchester United are now on the home stretch in their bid to finalise a loan deal for Monaco striker Radamel Falcao.
However, the Telegraph are reporting that United have had to agree to pay the Colombian striker's absolutely extortionate Monaco salary (£18million per annum) in full in order to push the deal through, meaning that they're going to have to find£346,000-a-week to shovel into the 29-year-old's bank account.
With James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao already jumping the Monaco ship this transfer window, it seems like Joao Moutinho may have had a word in his agent's ear and tasked him with landing a move before he's stuck treading water at the Stade Louis for another six months.
According to today's L'Equipe, former Liverpool, Swansea and Bolton striker David N'Gog has reportedlygone missing after disappearing from his hotel room in France.
N'Gog,who has played just 65 minutes of football since joining Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims over the summer, pulled out oflast weekend's game against Lorient with a stomach bug.

Here's what's going on, food- and drink-wise, in the Twin Cities this weekend:
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: Seventeen Minnesota and Wisconsin cheesemakers -- including Alemar Cheese Co., Shepherd's Way Farms, Singing Hills Goat Dairy and Stickney Hill Dairy -- are the main attraction at the Minnesota Cheese Festival, along with artisan food producers, a handful of food trucks (Foxy Falafel, the Moral Omnivore) and wine and beer pairings. Workshops and demonstrations, too, all held at the International Bazaar at the Minnesota State Fair in Falcon Heights. Tickets $15 ($10 children) or $65 for a VIP pass, and must be purchased in advance; no at-the-door sales.
SATURDAY: The brewers at Summit Brewing Co. will be on hand at Brit's Pub & Eating Establishment (outdoors, on the restaurant's rooftop veranda) in Minneapolis, tapping 10 of their latest brews. Brewers are available from noon to 3 p.m., taps run from noon to 4 p.m.
SATURDAY: Drop in on the 10th-annual Wild Rice Festival at the Harriet Alexander Nature Center in Roseville. The day begins with a wild rice pancake breakfast (served with wild rice sausages and locally produced maple syrup), and includes games, storytelling, crafts, demonstrations and more, all focused on local Native American cultures. 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
SATURDAY: Meet local author Anne Gillespie ("Ingrebretsen's Saga") at a meet-and-greet (samples, book signings) at the Midtown Farmers Market in Minneapolis.
SATURDAY: Chef Sameh Wadi of Saffron Restaurant & Lounge and World Street Kitchen in Minneapolis will take to the podium at the Minneapolis Farmers Market at 10:30 a.m. (free). Also at the market: be sure to pick up your free reusable shopping bag, starting at 8 a.m.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: Meet influential cookbook author Deborah Madison ("Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," "Local Flavors," "The Greens Cookbook") and hear her talk about her latest book, "Vegetable Literacy" at two events: On Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Mill City Farmers Market in Minneapolis, and on Sunday at 4 p.m. at SubText Bookstore in St. Paul. Free.
Hank Shaw isn't a Food Network-level brand name. Well, at least not yet.
But the highly engaging voice behind the blog Hunter Angler Gardener Cook (winner of the James Beard Foundation's 2013 Best Food Blog award) and the author of the well-received 2012 cookbook "Hunt, Gather Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast" embodies a rapidly growing segment of the American cooking population, that of the self-sufficient, eating-off-the-grid forager, farmer, fisherman and hunter.
Shaw's latest work, "Duck, Duck, Goose: The Ultimate Guide to Cooking Waterfowl, Both Farmed and Wild" is debuting next month, and the Sacramento, Calif.-based writer is making an appearance at the Bachelor Farmer on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m.
Expect a family-style tasting menu -- created by Shaw and Bachelor Farmer chef Paul Berglund -- along with wine pairings and cocktails by Marvel Bar mixmaster Pip Hanson. Oh, and plenty of conversation with Shaw. Cost is $145 per person, reservations (starting after 2 p.m. Monday) at 612-206-3920.
Despite my Variety colleagues handing over a prodigious amount of their section's real estate in the Saturday paper, I wasn't able to squeeze all of my day-of-gorging observations into my annual survey of new Minnesota State Fair foods. So here goes.
A fairly recent fair food phenomenon has vendors investing enormous amounts of capital and manpower into mega-attractions: O'Gara's, the Minnesota Wine Experience, Famous Dave's and French Meadow Bakery & Cafe are just a few examples. This year's entry into the bigger-is-better sweepstakes is Mancini's al Fresco (Carnes Av. at Nelson St.), an outpost of the iconic St. Paul supper club. It's a great-looking space, filled with the requisite historic photos and vintage fixtures, and it features a fairly lengthy (for the fair, anyway) menu.
In my new-foods rundown, I turned the spotlight on what I thought hit the highest marks on the Delicious-O-Meter, the Porketta Pork Wings ($8). I was less impressed with the stand's signature dish, a steak sandwich ($9, pictured above). The thick-cut beef was nicely grilled, with a flavorful char and a pink-ish, fairly juicy center, and it exuded a big, beefy bite. But it was a bit on the chewy side (although let's get real, you were expecting butter knife-quality prime at $9?) and the flimsy foccacia bun was soaked in grease. It's improved with the addition of onions and red peppers, which should be included in the price but aren't, requiring an additional $1.
More successful is the Cicchetti, a seasoned bread cone filled with tender meatballs doused in a lively marinara sauce (or shrimp). It's a clever Italian-American take on portable fair food, and it's priced right: $6.
A sausage stuffed with onions and red peppers and speared on a stick ($6) left absolutely no impression, and a heaping, overpriced carb-bomb of basket of grilled garlic toast ($5, pictured above), greasy, near-flavorless and inundated in marinara, is best avoided.
Ending on a positive note, dessert is first-rate: Twelve rotating flavors of gelato ($5 and $7) from Ring Mountain Creamery Cafe in Eagan; three cheers for including this south-of-the-river gem at the fair.
One of my perennial fair favorites is the all-things-honey section of the Agriculture Horticulture Building, starting with the swell honey-nut ice cream. This year, the area's Bee Hive shop, which features a wealth of Minnesota-made bee products, has a lovely addition: Honey-Bee Sticks (50 cents) from Mademoiselle Miel, skinny plastic straws filled with a burst of bright, sunshine-ey honey culled from a number of rooftop hives in St. Paul and Minneapolis. They're packaged in two flavors: one is straight-up golden nectar, the other is smoked and blended with trace notes of Scotch. Another nice touch: Each purchase benefits the University of Minnesota Bee Lab.
"Where can I eat healthy at the fair?" is a question I'm often asked in late August, and my first thought always races to the Produce Exchange, the fresh-fruit outlet located on southeast side of the fairgrounds, just outside Ag-Hort. This year, for the first time, they're slicing up ripe watermelon ($5), and it really hits the spot as ttemperatures and humidity levels climb and a person's tolerance for fatty, deep-fried foods evaporates.
But the stand also features a selection of gorgeous, sinfully ripe peaches – warning: the juice will run down your chin, there's no stopping it – and in the next few days, co-owner Shannon Hannigan is hoping to feature those tasty, modestly-scaled Summercrisp pears (a cold weather-resistant breed developed at the University of Minnesota in the 1930s), harvested from Fairhaven Farm in South Haven, Minn.
Inside the building – you can't miss it, it's that gorgeous art deco-ish pavilion with the distinctive hexagonal concrete tower – is another eating-healthy destination: Minnesota Apples. The stand features crisp, just-picked fruit (right now, Paula Reds) from Pine Tree Apple Orchard in White Bear Lake, and this year they're also hawking a fantastic applesauce: cool, barely sweet, marvelously thick and with a just-barely pink cast. It's one of the most satisfying ways to spend $1 anywhere on the fairgrounds.
Minnesota Farmers Union (Dan Patch Av. at Cosgrove St.) has a bevy of food newbies, and I raved about two of them: the mango ice cream bar, and the affogato. Space restrictions – and, I have to admit, a lack of interest on my part -- didn't allow me to mention two others: a vanilla version of that ice cream bar ($5.75) and a trio of fresh-baked cookies – chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and white chocolate-macadamia nut (pictured, above) – sold separately ($1) or as a trio ($2.50). I yawned off the both. The former isn't all that different from any other vanilla ice cream at the fair (the best remains at Nitro Ice Cream, inside the Food Building), and the latter are boring, you're-not-missing-anything factory-made cut-and-bakes.
Up on what used to be called Machinery Hill, Tracy's Idaho Taqueria (Randall Av. at Underwood St.) is serving up taco-inspired waffle fries, but it's also preparing a deep-fried-free version by enliisting a baked potato ($8). It's fine – the portions are notably generous -- but it's nothing that couldn't be had at any shopping mall food court in the 1980s.
One welcome trend that makes total sense is the rush of Minnesota-brewed craft beers flooding onto the fairgrounds; after all, shouldn't the Minnesota State Fair be a showplace for Minnesota-made products?
Instead of focusing on a new food item – which owner Tim Weiss and chef Alex Sadowsky routinely do very, very well – the team at Giggles' Campfire Grill (Cooper St. at Lee Av.) as focused their 2013 energies on an impressive new beer garden (pictured, above), one that would not look out of place in a ritzy northern Minnesota lakeside resort. Under the heavy-timbered roof, the good-natured Gigglesians are pouring a bevy of Minnesota beers, including Brau Brothers, Finnegan's, Flat Earth, Big Wood, Lucid and Fulton, as well as Iowa's Millstream, Wisconsin's Leinenkugel, Michigan's Keeweenah and Clown Shoes from Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, over at the Ball Park Cafe (Underwood Av., between the Food Building and the Garden), co-owners and brothers Dan and David Theisen are have boosted their already impressive list of brewed-in-Minnesota craft labels, with a roster that includes Lucid, Mankato Original, Badger Hill, Lift Bridge, Excelsior, Surly, Steel Toe, Third Street, Bent Paddle and the aforementioned Indeed. It's an extremely well-edited list, one that many Twin Cities restaurants and bars would do well to emulate.
If only the fair embraced Minnesota-distilled spirits. I know I'd line up for craft cocktail shaken with Prairie Organic Vodka or Panther Distillery bourbon.
Finally, an observation. How great would it be if more fair food vendors took their design cues from Big Pepper (Liggett St. at Judson Av.) and made their stands resemble the products they serve? Think about it: A towering cookie jar for Sweet Martha's, a gigantic bucket of fries for the Fresh French Fries stands. Calling Claes Oldenburg!
Here's what's going on, food- and drink-wise, in the Twin Cities this weekend:
Saturday: Watch as two top Twin Cities chefs -- Michael DeCamp of La Belle Vie and Sarah Master of Barbette -- compete for the title of 2013's Master of the Market at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. The duo will have 20 minutes to shop the market and a half-hour to prepare a dish from the ingredients they select. Judges include Taste editor Lee Svitak Dean, cookbook author Raghavan Iyer, Mpls-St. Paul food and dining editor Stephanie March and WCCO-TV reporter Rachel Slavik, with WCCO-TV's Matt Brinkman serving as master of ceremonies. 10 a.m. Free. (Photo, above, features last year's winner Sameh Wadi of Saffron Restaurant & Lounge -- he's in the center, wearing an apron and a hat -- along with judges Stephanie March, Lee Svitak Dean, Jamie Yuccas and Matt Brinkman. Find Wadi's winning recipes here).
Saturday: Graze and sip your way through a room filled with locally sourced cheeses, charcuterie, chocolates, coffees, beers, sodas and snacks at the ninth-annual North Coast Nosh, hosted by Heavy Table and Peace Coffee at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis. A pre-Nosh event (4:30 p.m.) features meet-and-greets and Q&As with several participating vendors. 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets $27 ($30 at the door), and $54 for pre-Nosh and the main event, available here.
Saturday: It's all things gluten-free at the Mill City Farmers Market, starting with a free cooking demonstration at 10 a.m. by chef Jenny Breen, co-author of "Cooking up the Good Life." The market also features a number of vendors specializing in gluten-free and gluten-friendly products, from crepes at the popular Crepes by Spoonriver stand to breads and other baked goods at Down in the Valley Bakehouse. 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday: Celebrate the arrival of sweet corn season with the Corn and Brat Feed, an annual fundraiser for the Northeast Farmers Market in Minneapolis. It's a taste-of-the-neighborhood kind of event, with bratwurst ($5) from Kramarczuk's (on buns from Sarah Jane's Bakery), sweet corn ($2) from longtime market vendor eQuality Farms and lemonade ($2) and iced tea ($2) from Chowgirls Killer Catering. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: The annual Greek Festival at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in St. Paul features a long list of traditional Greek-American fare (roast leg of lamb, souvlaki, pastitsio, baklava and more, with full dinners (which include rice, salad and bread) at $12, a la carte items from $3 to $7 and desserts in the $2-$4 range. 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Free admission. Buy food tickets in advance here.
Sunday: Calling all bakers: "Baking, Blue Ribbons, and Betty" gathers Danny Klecko of St. Agnes Baking Co. (and founder of the St. Paul Bread Club), "Blue Ribbon Baker" author (and Minnesota State Fair super blue-ribbon baking winner) Marjorie Johnson (pictured, above) and "Finding Betty Crocker" author Susan Marks for a why-Minnesota-loves-to-bake event in the tpt studios in St. Paul. 3 p.m., tickets $40 ($30 for tpt members) available here.
Here's what's going on, food- and drink-wise, this weekend in the Twin Cities:
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: The prodigiously talented cooking team at Travail Kitchen and Amusements, currently without a home while their new location is under construction, has been staging pop-up dining events all summer. The latest is taking place this weekend at Kitchen in the Market at the Midtown Global Market. "We'll be doing globally-driven food, what we feel the Midtown Global Market represents," said Travail co-owner Mike Brown. "Of course, we'll be doing it Travail-style." Translation: An over-the-top 10-course tasting menu, with wine and beer pairings, served in two seatings (5:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.) on both evenings, Cost is an all-inclusive $80 per person; limited tickets available here. My recommendation: Hurry. "It's going to be one of our last pop-ups," said Brown. "We'll maybe do one more."
FRIDAY: Canterbury Park is playing host to a wagon train of food trucks this weekend, with more than a dozen notable mobile food names, including AZ Canteen, Hola Arepa, Gastrotruck, Anchor Fish & Chips, She Royal, Motley Crews and more. Oh yeah, there's horse racing, too. The first starting gate goes up at 6:30 p.m.
SATURDAY: The 2013 Minnesota Garlic Festival is just what it sounds like -- fun -- pulling together entertainment, kid activities, cooking demonstrations and 100 varieties of garlic for purchase. Oh, and eating, of course, with contributions from an impressive lineup of Twin Cities restaurants and chefs, including Tilia, Restaurant Alma, Common Roots Cafe, Birchwood Cafe, Lucia's and more, serving up deliciousness along the lines of roast corn with garlic-lime butter, garlic potato salad, garlic prime rib sandwiches and an heirloom tomato plate with garlic-honey vinaigrette (top price: $10.50). 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the McCleod County Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, Minn., about 60 miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Admission $5 ($3 for children under 12, and free for babies in strollers), with proceeds benefiting the Crow River chapter of the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota.
(Sidenote: Restaurants and chefs are forever investing or flat-out donating their time, their food and their expertise -- often all three -- to worthy causes, so give this a thought: Reward their generosity with a little generosity of your own by taking note of the restaurants and chefs that support fun-filled outings -- like the Minnesota Garlic Festival -- and then including their establishments on your dining-our rotation.)
FRIDAY-SUNDAY: There are plenty of shenanigans happening this weekend on Harriet Island in St. Paul at the Irish Fair of Minnesota, but the ones to note here are of the food variety: Shepherd's pie, corned beef sandwiches, bangers and mash, soda bread, fish and chips, Guinness barbecued pull pork sandwiches and more, courtesy of the Liffey, Claddagh Irish Pub and others. 3 to 11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday; free admission.

Oregon Activists Pick Up "Health Care as a Human Right" Campaign for Real Universal Care
Photo Credit: NESRI via Flickr
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This piece was originally published by Labor Notes.
With health care premiums rising three times faster than workers' income, more and more unions have come to see the existing health care system as unsustainable, despite their best efforts at the bargaining table.
In Oregon, activists are responding by rejuvenating a dormant campaign to win a health care system that covers everyone—and pays for it by cutting out the insurance companies. The concept is called "single payer."
This isn't the first time that Oregon activists have tried to win single payer. Ten years ago, they put an initiative on the ballot, but despite initially promising polls, the measure was trounced—victim of a flood of insurance company money and the sharp opposition of the Oregon AFL-CIO, which called it a threat to union health plans.
Times have changed.
When Portland Jobs with Justice began making the rounds of local union halls in 2008, urging support for national single-payer legislation sponsored by Representative John Conyers, the response was generally sympathetic. The national AFL-CIO has endorsed single payer on principle, and current state President Tom Chamberlain has been a consistent supporter.
The current focus isn't just gaining endorsements, however.
Three activists from the Vermont Workers Center toured Oregon in December at the invitation of local Jobs with Justice chapters to spread the word on how they won landmark legislation laying the groundwork for a single-payer health care system in their state.
Their essential message: take it to the grassroots. Don't split hairs over policy analysis. Don't try to win over legislators who have heard all the arguments but haven't felt the heat from their constituents. Don't even use technical terms like "single payer," unless you're talking to people who already know what it means.
Instead, talk about health care as a human right—something everybody should have, regardless of the state of their bank account or their immigration papers, their medical condition, their job, their age, race, or gender, or whether some insurance underwriter thinks they're a "good risk." Seek out the people in all walks of life who have been burned by the health care system, get their stories, and turn them into effective activists and advocates.
For three years Vermonters built support in every corner of the state through one-on-one surveys, photo petitions, and public meetings where politicians were invited to hear testimony, comparable to the Workers' Rights Board hearings that are a standard part of the Jobs with Justice toolkit.
The Vermonters' tour made a tremendous impact, from metropolitan Portland to rural communities in eastern Oregon. Not everyone agreed with every aspect of the VWC approach, but everyone was talking about it. By the end of January, a new statewide coalition had convened to "create a comprehensive, affordable, publicly funded, universal health care system serving everyone in Oregon and the United States."
By April, the coalition had a name—Health Care for All-Oregon—and close to 50 affiliates, including several statewide unions, immigrant rights groups, and community organizations ranging from the Rural Organizing Project to Elders in Action to Sisters of the Road (which advocates for the homeless).
Some, like Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and the Mad as Hell Doctors (whose cross-country tour in 2009 brought the message to a host of new audiences), make single payer their main focus. The majority of affiliates have other priorities, but have come to understand that the collapse of our health care system threatens everything else on their agenda.
The Oregon Latino Health Coalition, which has labored tirelessly under the radar to secure medical services for the state's 150,000 undocumented, recognized immediately that the Health Care for All human rights framework provides an opportunity for open advocacy without being isolated or marginalized. In voting to affiliate, the Representative Assembly of the Oregon Education Association noted that the skyrocketing cost of teachers' health benefits is draining money out of the classroom and has left the union increasingly vulnerable to attack.
