Ideas for Pickled Herring!?
- s
- Sal Vanilla Jul 14, 2009 06:58 PM
I got a bug for pickled herring yesterday and when I picked up the giant jar of the most fabulous looking filets and a Norwegian man came from behind and declared them to be the best he has had since childhood...
Well, I have 26 ounces of herring in wine marinade staring me down.
I am looking for some fun things to do with it. Good things to go along side it... I have beets and cipollini onions sitting in my yard. I make bread. What do you creative people think?
Herring mixed with sauted shrimp on a bed of scrambled eggs. Fried potatoes (German fried potatoes, of course) on the side.
Whip two eggs with about 1/4 tsp vinegar into a batter before putting them into the pan over medium low heat for a softer/fluffier scramble.
re: JungMann
What are sieved eggs? I am thinking about making matzo crackers to make matzo crack, but I could make lots of extra. Would matzo work?
re: Sal Vanilla
Hard boiled eggs pushed through a sieve or ricer. Sometimes used as an accompaniment to caviar as well.
re: Sal Vanilla
Matzo would work, the first time I had pickled herring was on saltines. My preference is for something hearty like a Wasa cracker or Scandinavian flat bread.
re: Sal Vanilla
On a Wasa cracker with a slice of cucumber - divine.
Or slather it with a curry cream sauce - also to die for.
re: Sal Vanilla
Red wine would not be my choice either. Iced vodka on the other hand, now you're talking! Can you say zakuski?
Great snack food while perusing Chowhound. Pickled herring and kimchi are two of the comfort foods on my profile, and I have emptied many jars of both in between tapping away here...
Maybe the mods would like to buy me a case so I do more eating and less tapping?
Make an "Asian fusion" "pizza." Go to a good Chinese restaurant and order a few orders of scallion pancakes. Spread cream cheese on the scallion pancake triangles (you may want to crisp the triangles in the oven/toaster oven). Place herring pieces and fresh minced Vidalia onion on the triangles and top with Romanoff black caviar (the cheap stuff from the supermarket).
I would also take the herring and cut each piece in at least two (unless they're herring "tidbits") and mix with lots of sweet onion slices and hunks of cucumber (that you've salted and let drain for about 1/2 hour), and shredded carrot. You've got yourself a salad worthy of being the main dish at lunch or brunch.
Finally, *that* much pickled herring is worth buying a bunch of fresh dill for.
re: shaogo
Fascinating. A truly fascinating suggestion with those scallion pancakes. And I bet really good.
I just eat mine with plain ol' potato, potato salad made with cucumbers, or dense rye bread!
My mother is German and at Christmas she would make a potato salad useing the Herring... it never was my favorit and remember pulling out the herring... but think it was made close to the Amish potato salad useing sour cream in place of Mao.
I am a pickled herring addict. Yes, of course, I can sit there with the jar opened with a pile of whole wheat crackers, but then I will consume the entire jar and get a lecture from my wife.
I like playing in the kitchen. Here's a few things that are fun
Put the Herring in an open bowl, covered in the wine sauce.
Place three or four (or five) dipping bowls with GOK (GOK = God only knows)
Hot mustard
Balsamic vinegar
Lemon/lime juice
Sweet/Hot Beet Dip ( Pickled beets blended with Lousiana Hot sauce MMMM)
A1 sauce (yes! A1)
(and any combination of the above)
Take your time, use chop sticks for fun...and a variety of different flavored crackers
Sushi - No brainer. Line the sushi rice with sliced herring (sans juice) and a green onion.
Devilled eggs? Chop the herring into tiny bits (by hand...less mess)
add the chopped herring to the devilled egg mixture
Have some left over beet juice from a jar of Pickled beets?
Add about a dozen pieces of herring to the beet juice and set in the refrigerator for a day.
Bloody red fish! and tasty too.

Episode 133: Neil Strauss Interview on Writing Productivity Tools and Tips
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
- Neil reveals what the most famous and influential people in the world understand about criticism (and how to use it to your advantage)
- The #1 biggest mistake most people make when writing…and…what you should do instead that will make your writing excellent and exciting and will keep your readers compelled to hang on your every word
- Neil shares some of his counter-intuitive keys to great writing…and…The most important steps to marketing your writing
- Neil gives you a peek into his writing process and the key ingredients you can use that have helped his books sell millions of copies
- One tool you can use right now to productively get things no matter how busy you are (and the key to making sure people respect your time)
- Dean and Neil discuss the 'One-Click' time management solution that will save you hours of time every month
- Neil wraps up with "The Ultimate Goal Of Life"
Neil is a smart guy (I've been on his list for years) and thanks to this episode I went and bought a couple of his books on Amazon… Let's see how addictive I can make my writing–even though the topic is superficially boring…Thanks guys!
Dean, can you please do some sort of "lifestyle seminar"? Only about lifestyle. Or maybe you have some 1 on 1 coaching on this topic
Great interview with Neil Strauss. At the end were some pure golden nuggets on time management. How about having him do an entire program on the subject? It is where many of us need the most guidance. Great stuff as always Joe & Dean – thank you.
Joe & Dean – Love what you do. Huge fan of the podcast! 2 suggestions:
1. Can you get the audio higher on the mobile podcast? Routines are something us wantrepreneurs practice and I love to listen to informative podcasts like yours on my iPhone while cooking breakfast, but yours always sounds so low compared to other podcasts. With the slightest sizzle of bacon I can't make out a word. Please don't have me move my iPhone closer to the flying grease. A quick fix would be stop listening to podcasts during rigorous breakfast making but…ya know. I want to hear you. So that's a good thing.
2. Joe, quit pickin on Dean so much
Guys keep on kicking ass! Thanks for the valuable insight!
Action Step: I'm going to make 5 outfits out of the ridiculous 60 shirts, pants, sweaters, belts, etc–and make a system where it's always like that and never out of control like it is now.
I enjoyed the interview Joe, Dean & Neil. I appreciate the insights about placing your direct focus on those within your inner circle, who you want to spend time with and are assets to you in creating who and what you want to be personally and in business. If you don't create a framework as Neil said by pro-actively managing the relationships of your life, they may come to manage you. I've found it extremely important of late, particularly as greater responsibilities arise (my wife and I are expecting our second child in August!), to protect my time as the invaluable asset that it is; to protect my energy as a gift to share with those who bring me joy and who I do the same for.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
No plan for H1N1 school alerts
Parents won't be told of cases, absenteeism
There'll be hand sanitizers in classrooms, but parents won't know if there's a confirmed case of H1N1 in their child's school or an unusual absentee rate.
And a number of school divisions and health officials say there'll be no public identification of a school with a confirmed case of H1N1 or absenteeism of 10 per cent or more above seasonal norms.
"Notifying the parents, we're not doing that," said Pembina Trails superintendent Lawrence Lussier.
Superintendents across Winnipeg met with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority last Wednesday, but school divisions have been preparing pandemic plans for months.
That includes sending kids home as soon as they show symptoms, and parents must have a plan for someone to pick them up and care for them at home.
"We've made it very clear to parents that they have to have a child care plan if we have to send (students) home," said Louis Riel superintendent Terry Borys. "We will ask students to leave -- we will be requiring parents to pick up students who are ill."
Any student or staff showing flu symptoms will have to go to a separate room until ready to leave, said Borys.
Every classroom in Seven Oaks School Division has a spray bottle of hand sanitizer sitting on the teacher's desk or handy to everyone on a counter.
Pembina Trails School Division has hand sanitizer in every classroom, and Louis Riel is awaiting a shipment ordered in August.
In Seven Oaks, custodians are doing less floor-sweeping and a lot more disinfecting of doorknobs, bannisters and water fountains.
Students and teachers are encouraged to wash their hands with soap and water frequently, says superintendent Brian O'Leary.
But no school can make itself completely safe from H1N1, warned O'Leary.
"We're reducing the risk, we're not eliminating it," he said.
"We are making hand sanitizers available to schools as they need it," placing them in every classroom, Lussier said. "Our kindergarten classrooms all have bathroom facilities and sinks" and all labs have sinks and water.
Each classroom also has spray bottles of disinfectant to clean desks, doorknobs and other areas frequently.
O'Leary said it was impractical to ask parents to send hand sanitizers with their kids.
"Where we want parents engaged is in proper handwashing, cough etiquette, keeping them home when sick," said O'Leary.
O'Leary was uncertain if kids would exert peer pressure to have everyone use the hand sanitizers or wash with soap and water frequently. Seven Oaks allows 10 minutes between high school classes, leaving plenty of time for proper handwashing.
"We hope it just becomes a routine for kids, that they do it without thinking about it," he said.
In Louis Riel, older students demonstrate proper handwashing techniques to the little kids, who wash with soap and water as a daily routine.
Borys said Louis Riel held an in-service for custodians Sept. 2. There are procedures for cleaning shared equipment such as musical instruments and computers. "The message was, be extra-diligent with common areas, like doorknobs and desks," Borys said.
City divisions believe they have enough qualified substitute teachers, including retired teachers, to get through the pandemic without using unqualified non-teachers in the classroom, which rural schools expect to do.
"We have quite an extensive substitute list," Lussier said. "We don't plan to use unqualified people in a teaching role."
Superintendents stressed that Manitoba Health will make any calls on closing schools.
Officials say that Manitoba Health has told pregnant teachers to be extra-vigilant about handwashing and disinfecting, but expects them to work during a pandemic if they are not ill.
So far, there are no plans to reduce large gatherings of students, though the pandemic plans call for the possibility of teachers rotating classrooms where feasible, and cancelling some extracurricular activities.
"There is provision for cancelling large events and gatherings," said Borys, and there is even a procedure for holding school board meetings by teleconference if trustees become ill.
What Manitoba Health is saying
"PUBLICLY identifying schools is not normal practice and is not planned for H1N1. There is no public-health reason to publicly identify schools with unusual absenteeism.
"... There is also no set absenteeism rate where schools report to Manitoba Health because we are looking for unusual rates -- this can vary between schools. Once the department receives a report of unusual absenteeism, a public-health investigation and appropriate public-health followup takes place within the school and/or the community -- depending on the situation.
"If there were a public-health reason to identify a school, it can be done but in most cases, public-health followup is only needed within the facility. It's important to recognize that by the time an unusual level of absenteeism is reached, the illness has likely already circulated throughout the school community.
"We have to assume H1N1 will be found in all Manitoba communities during the second wave this fall and winter -- as was the case earlier this year. We also expect it to be found in all facilities (schools included), so confirming a case does not change the public health advice that we give...
"If the situation changes and there is a public-health reason to identify a school, a facility or a community, then we would do so, and have the power under the Public Health Act to do that."
BOTH Seven Oaks and Pembina Trails school divisions have piggybacked on an enormous amount of online pandemic-preparedness information gathered by River East Transcona School Division. One place to find it is: www.pembinatrails.ca/Documents/REVISED%20Sep%2022-09%20Pandemic%20Plan%20-%20Pembina%20Trails%20School%20Division.pdf

The world according to Mark Nelson
|| Print |
|Linda Baker
|Friday, December 14, 2012
One of the people I interviewed for my recent story on the 2013 business agenda was Mark Nelson, the influential Salem business lobbyist whose long and eclectic client list includes the R.J. Reynolds tobacco company, beer maker Anheuser-Busch, Koch Industries, and Oregon Head Start.
Unfortunately, most of our conversation ended up on the cutting room floor. So I'm sharing a few excerpts from our interview here, in which Nelson weighed in on Gov. John Kitzhaber's health care and early childhood learning agenda, the future of Oregon Head Start and the inner workings of that mysterious entity, the Oregon Committee.
Health Care:
"If you watch the governor's plans, they all fit a pattern: consolidation of money, all under control of governor. In 1989, Kitzhaber came up with the Oregon Health Plan. The original plan was to insure everybody, but he couldn't make it happen. The Coordinating Care Organization (CCO) is the same program, just regurgitated but it's got a lot more oomph because of Obama care. The end game is the same: consolidate everyone's health care in one place.
The next session you're going to see CCOs created for Medicaid expand to all public employees and teachers and from there to the private sector, because you have the health care exchanges coming in on the other end.
So it depends on your view of the world whether this is a good idea or bad idea."
Early Childhood Education and Oregon Head Start:
"It's unclear what the governor wants to do with Oregon Head Start. They cannot answer the question: Are you going to budget Head Start? What I believe he wants to do is set up a system in which you have multiple providers providing services to low-income children expanded to 200 percent of poverty level. So he's going to create 'regional hubs.' Remember the CCOs. There's very little difference. Someday, you're going to see the early child learning hubs and CCOs come together. Mark my words.
What we believe he should have done and we asked him to do is this. Whatever early learning programs they put together the base should be the poorest of poor and people with disabilities. Those two populations have to be protected and they're not."
"What Kitzhaber wants is to eventually increase the renewable portfolio standard. He would like to see it go up.
The wild cards are PGE and Pacific Corp. Right now, industry and those two are working together. But when Kitzhaber went to them on the RPS and said 'what do you want?' they abandoned industry and joined the environmentalists. That's how the RPS was passed. So far, especially PGE, there have been entreaties to both of them.
I think he would like to remake the Deparmtent of Energy. You now have the Department of Energy and Public Utility Commission and DEQ and Fish and Ag and Wildlife. I think he would rename it but again consolidate it."
The Oregon Committee:
"It's not so mysterious. Basically, it's made up of most business organizations and people who represent businesses and it was born out of two the tax Measures 66 and 67, which business lost. That's when we got organized and went to the political side.
The whole purpose was we didn't have enough money to lay it out like peanut butter. Rather, we've come in and picked those seats we thought we could win. It wasn't Republican vs. Democrat, although by definition business-friendly legislatures are primarily Republican.
Everyone spends their money individually. We have an enormous amount of research we do to see what races we can win. We have a whole bunch of criteria, including voter registration, quality of the candidate, quality of staff, and the nature of district. Then we pick our races and say, ok, Nelson how much money do you have, I say 'X," and we go around the room. They're about 40 different people and we meet once a week.
The issue is if organization can translate into more clout to change things."
Mark Nelson's varied client list:
"I don't have any criteria for clients. I won't take on any pro-life position as client. Philosophically, I'm not there. I fire clients periodically."

FIRST LOOK - Amy Poehler Reveals Cover Art for New Book 'Yes Please'
NBC's Today show has shared an exclusive First Look at cover art for Amy Poehler's forthcoming book 'Yes Please'. The book is set to hit shelves later this year. Check it out at left!
Poehler's first book will feature a variety of topics, from friendship and parenting to advice on love and life.
In 1996, the comic became part of the improvisational comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade, which later developed into an eponymous television show that aired on Comedy Central for three seasons. Poehler was also one of the founding members of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in 1999.
Poehler was a cast member on the NBC television show Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 2001 to 2008. In 2004, she became the co-anchor of theWeekend Update sketch along with her friend and colleague Tina Fey. Her work on SNL earned her two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
She is known for voicing Bessie Higgenbottom in the 2008-2011 Nickelodeon series, The Mighty B! and Eleanor Miller in the Alvin and the Chipmunks CGI films. Since 2009, she has starred as Leslie Knope in the sitcom Parks and Recreation, and received the 2014 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Musical or Comedy Series. She is also an eight-time Emmy Award nominee.
Poehler is currently starring in the new Swedish-American sitcom Welcome To Sweden along with her brother Greg Poehler. The series will premiere on NBC this July.

20 Times Karma Was Instantly Served
Karma is best served warm.

There'll be a day, if one recent Wi-Fi startup has its way, when you switch on your tablet or laptop and the wireless Internet access you need is just there. Automatically, everywhere, every time. You won't think about it. You won't search for elusive hotspots. You'll just get to browsing, and the days when passwords or daily- or monthly-pass payments stood in the way of productivity are no more -- they'll vanish, much like the brick-and-mortar video store.
"Giving is receiving" is an old adage that doesn't work for everyone -- at least, not when it comes to Wi-Fi. Few of us are happy to discover unauthorized others have been leeching bandwidth off our hotspots' signals. But a new kind of WiFi hotspot launching later this year wants to change that. It's called Karma. And, like the regular kind of karma, it works by returning to you what you share with others. In this case, Wi-Fi.
Fresh off its first day on the Nasdaq, Facebook has acquired another company: Karma. An app for "in-the-moment gifting," Karma lets you send everything from a bottle of wine to a fuzzy teddy bear to friends via SMS, email, and Facebook. The way Karma works is pretty simple. Using the app, you can browse through a virtual storefront to pick out a gift. Karma has partnered with companies including with Hulu, Gund, MoMa and Spotify –- so there's a pretty decent selection of gifts.

Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Rarely does Golf Digest make the news. Leave it to Dan Jenkins to change that.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

(c) 2014, Bloomberg News
DALLAS — Southwest Airlines Co., the largest low-fare carrier, will increase competition at American Airlines Group Inc.'s biggest hub by expanding nonstop service from a rival Dallas airport as U.S. flight limits there end.
Nonstop trips to LaGuardia in New York and Reagan National in Washington as well as eight other cities will begin Nov. 2, Chief Executive Officer Gary Kelly said at a news conference at Love Field airport Monday. Five others, including Chicago, will offer nonstop trips starting Oct. 13.
The flights will spur a challenge with cheaper tickets from Southwest at the airport closest to downtown Dallas, 25 miles from American's Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport hub. A 1979 law banned nonstop flights on large jets out of Love beyond Texas and its four neighbors. The restrictions were later eased to permit trips to eight states.
"There will be a negative impact on American as a result of this," Jeff Straebler, managing director for aerospace in the bonds and corporate finance group at John Hancock Financial Services. "Given American's size, is it the end of the world? Certainly not. This is definitely a positive for Southwest."
Southwest, based in Dallas, fell 2.5 percent to $20.43 in New York, joining declines by all eight other members of the Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index Monday.
Southwest recently agreed to buy additional flying rights at both LaGuardia and Reagan that were sold by American to win approval from U.S. antitrust regulators for its December merger with US Airways Group. Flights from those airports are limited by the government to control congestion.
"There is no way the fares won't come down," Kelly said Monday of competitors. "It's competitive in North Texas. We're going to have to earn our customers and earn their business."
The airline won't announce fares or flight frequencies until May, he said, and customers can't book the routes until then.
"Thanks to our recent merger, American Airlines now has an expanded, robust global network," including 800 daily flights from Dallas-Fort Worth airport, Matt Miller, a spokesman, said in an e-mail. He declined to comment on fares.
Southwest historically has offered introductory fares for as long as eight months on new routes that attract the most competition from larger rivals, said Rick Seaney, chief executive officer of FareCompare, a ticket research firm. Those fares are 20 percent to 45 percent of competitors' rates, he said. American will match the lower prices on flights at similar times and try to keep passengers by offering more loyalty miles or first-class upgrades, he said.
"It will be interesting to see once they quit bloodying each other's noses and decide on what the real price point is going to be," Seaney said.
While the addition of the nonstop flights will be "a very big change," Southwest probably won't be the primary "price disciplinarian," said Bob Mann, president of aviation consultant Robert W. Mann & Co. in Port Washington, N.Y. That role falls to Spirit Airlines Inc., a so-called ultra-low- cost carrier that sells a low base fare and charges separately for everything else, he said.
In 2004 Southwest began a two-year lobbying effort for the repeal of restrictions under the Wright Amendment, which it argued was anti-competitive, before securing a phase-out of the limits. The legislation, authored by former Texas Rep. Jim Wright, was intended to protect the then newly opened Dallas-Fort Worth airport from competition. The amendment expires Oct. 13.
Southwest carries more than 96 percent of passengers at Love Field, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Dallas and adjacent to the airline's headquarters. It has flown from Love Field since 1971.
American, combined with US Airways and its American Eagle regional airline, carries about 85 percent of passengers at Dallas-Fort Worth, according to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Daryl Halligan used to torment opponents with a radar boot and a plastic tee. His daughter prefers to kick sand in their faces.
And Devon Halligan, 19, has already inflicted a body blow of sorts to her Australian rivals before the world surf life saving championships start in Adelaide today by opting to compete against them in the black togs of New Zealand.
Born in Sydney and raised on the city's northern beaches at Manly, the teenager pledged allegiance to her parents' birthplace in April and is considered a key member of a 12-strong New Zealand team striving to claim the world title for the first time since 1998 in Auckland.
New Zealand were fifth in 2000 and since then the Kiwis have been runners-up to Australia, most recently two years ago in Egypt where they were pipped in the beach events on the final day.
Halligan, who is studying engineering at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, has a busy schedule in the three-day pool format and then on the beach at Glenelg. It is the oceanwoman event to which she is expected to add the greatest value.
With the scores of two competitors from each country counting towards the team event, New Zealand have traditionally had one strong entrant and a battler - so the reigning Australian under-19 Ironwoman champion's ability to complement Nikki Cox could prove crucial.
"The great thing for us is we've got two girls that are real top notch who will really push it, and push each other," team manager Mark Weatherall said. "Devon's a guiding light for us to some degree. We're not singling her out or anything but she's going to be a bit of a weapon."
A towering presence at 1.90 metres tall, Halligan competes for Manly in next week's club titles and could have been attired in green and gold at the Adelaide aquatic centre when the simulated emergency response competition opens the programme tomorrow.
Halligan has barely dipped her toes into Kiwi waters in comparison to her immersion in Australian surf since she started her life saving career as a 5-year-old "nipper" but decided to go with New Zealand after minimal guidance from Dad, a 20-test Kiwi rugby league international turned goal-kicking consultant and television commentator.
"For me, it was a personal decision to represent New Zealand. I've always kind of classified myself as a Kiwi," said Halligan, a former member of Australia's high-performance programme.
Daryl Halligan, who kicked 855 goals while playing 230 first-grade games for North Sydney and the Bulldogs between 1991 and 2000, said he was comfortable with whichever country Devon chose.
"I think you have an influence in terms of being a parent, in some form, but I don't think it was great. It wouldn't have worried me one way or the other.
"I've been pretty liberal with what's been going on with the footy codes too," he said, referring to the eligibility sagas involving James Tamou and Sam Kasiano.
The Australians don't appear to hold a grudge that Devon Halligan has aligned herself to the underdogs.
Their women's captain, Kristyl Smith, who trains with Halligan on the Gold Coast, was relaxed as she approached her fifth world championships.
"Good on Devon, but hopefully she'll be seeing the back of the green and gold cap," she said. Fairfax NZ

New TV era, old Emmys
Netflix looms over ceremony that picks Breaking Bad, Modern Family as top drama, comedy
A faint smell of panic permeated the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday as the television industry as a whole finds itself in the midst of an identity crisis. "Tonight we celebrate the best of television," host Neil Patrick Harris said, joking: "For our younger audience, that's the thing you watch on your phones."
Content-wise, TV is in a remarkable place. But what exactly is TV in the 21st century?
That question hung heavy in the air on the CBS broadcast, everyone smiling gamely through the sweaty uncertainty. The solution, as offered by the Emmy show producers, was to continually look back. The opening monologue devolved into an unofficial tribute to Emmy hosts past, including Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Jane Lynch and Jimmy Kimmel, who ran up onstage to offer a "smidge of advice... because there's a good chance they won't ask you back next year. They didn't ask Jane Lynch back, is what I'm saying."
Sitting in the audience, Kevin Spacey then turned around to face the camera: "It's all going according to my plan," he said, channelling the scheming politician he plays on House of Cards, twirling his moustache in the name of Netflix and its streaming-TV brethren. Addressing the collection of Emmy hosts on stage: "Look at that parade of blabbering buffoons. They couldn't host a child's birthday party."
And then last year's Golden Globe hosting duo, Tina Fey (a winner Sunday for comedy writing on 30 Rock) and Amy Poehler, riffed from the front row, but at least their bit was zany enough to really work. "Take your pants off! And twerk it!" Fey ordered Harris. Poehler: "It might be degrading, but we would be degrateful."
But it is the digital revolution -- of DVRs and streaming and commercial-free binge-viewing -- that wrought an Emmys broadcast as a rage against the dying light. Or at least a white-knuckled insistence, nay reminder, that broadcast television is still relevant. Harris and Co. repeatedly looked back to the medium's impact from days gone by with perfunctory tributes that stood apart from the standard In Memoriam segment, and Elton John performed a Liberace homage, among many moments that focused on a time when TV was something far more defined.
"Liberace left us 25 years ago and what a difference those years have made to people like me," said John, who is openly gay in contrast to the closeted Liberace portrayed in the TV movie.
Back in the present tense, Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her second Emmy in two years for her performance on Veep, bringing with her to the podium co-star Tony Hale (who also nabbed an Emmy for supporting actor, comedy) to hold her purse, a terrific gag that echoed the job Hale performs on the HBO series. "I would like to thank... she began, then stopped, at a loss, before Hale prompted her: ... my family."
Jim Parsons took home his third Emmy for Big Bang Theory, giving a straightforward, earnest speech before interrupting himself, "It's so silly to be emotional, isn't it?"
Anna Gunn, who has weathered an onslaught of fan backlash for her role as the compromised wife of a meth dealer on Breaking Bad, walked away with the award for supporting actress on a drama.
In a shocker, Bryan Cranston, who plays Gunn's husband, Walter White,on the show, lost to The Newsroom's Jeff Daniels for best actor in a drama.
But the shocks ended there, as Breaking Bad, AMC's soon-to-end tale of White's descent into depravity, won the Emmy for best drama. It was the first time Breaking Bad had won the award despite three previous nominations.
Modern Family won for best comedy.
Best actress in a drama once again went to Homeland's Claire Danes.
The Emmy Sunday represented the third time Danes has taken home a trophy in four years. She won a best actor award for a TV movie in 2010 for her role in HBO's Temple Grandin.
House of Cards, the Netflix drama, came away with only one Emmy on the night, for David Fincher's direction of the series set in the political halls of Washington, D.C.
Behind the Candelabra, the Steven Soderbergh-lensed HBO film about Liberace that was turned down by the big screen, won for best TV movie or miniseries.
By far the best speech of the night -- charming, flustered and succinct -- came from comedy supporting actress winner Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie): "Um." Long pause. "I gotta go, bye!" The soul of wit, as they say, is brevity.

Mochi at Yuen Hop (Oakland Chinatown)
The black sesame ones are labeled in Chinese as "tong yuen" which suggests putting them in soup, but they are probably my favorite between them and the peanut version and already good eaten as is.
They should not be refrigerated and have to be consumed within 48 hours.
The peanut version is labeled as lor mai chee 糯米滋 and is a very classic old school glutinous rice based Cantonese based dessert, arguably with Hakka Cantonese origins. The texture is quite excellent, and somewhat reminds me of the kind I had at a vendor that sold these exclusively at Tai O fishing village in Lantau Island (western tip) Hong Kong
though this place does it even smoother and silkier, with a texture on par with Benkyodo Co SF.
This type of eat falls under the category called "cha gwor" 茶果, which are snacks meant to be paired with Chinese tea, but typically 茶果 are steamed (pre-steamed sometimes served room temperature) and a lot chewier.

Any recommendations on restaurants serving chicken livers?
Went to SPQR within the last two months and they did have chicken liver, paired with this sweet fig jam like paste with crostini. Quite good.
My favorite was the version at Serpentine during dinner, executed extremely well, I would go back just for that.
Then there's Ippuku in Berkeley, who can do them grilled over charcoal medium rare upon request (if you can tolerate the redness) but very juicy and nicely done.

Hong Kong: Tasting menus: Nur vs Vasco?
Has anyone been to both Nur and Vasco recently and can comment on which one would be a better experience? Nur seems to offer a prix fixe (2 price) option for the last week of December with some Christmas themes. Vasco is willing to offer the full tasting menu during lunch upon request.
Trying to decide between the two given the short amount of time this visit to HK, then it is a matter of chance/availability afterwards. Thanks in advance!

Crystal Jade, Embarcadero Center, San Francisco.
If you go on crystaljade.com there are various types of CJ restaurants. SF got the one labeled Jiang Nan which is under specialty (not "fine dining"), and the ones in HK are all called CJ LM (la mian) XLB 翡翠拉麵小籠包 and there are a few CJ Kitchen locations (not many).
Whoever did the investing probably figured, go bigger or go home. Exactly how the investors probably approached M.Y. China in terms of location and prices. It would have been nicer to get a more downscale and accessible CJLMXLB. Though can't complain, bringing us just a notch closer to Michelin Cantonese in HK, but not quite there since it is a mish mash of styles (Singaporean Chinese, Cantonese, some regional Chinese).

Chinese pork innard/organ soup in LA?
What you linked looks very similar to the pickled mustard greens pork stomach peppercorn soup 胡椒豬肚湯 or 鹹酸菜胡椒豬肚湯 (鹹酸菜 = salty sour preserved/pickled vegetable) very common and classic in Chiu Chow Teochew restaurants in Hong Kong. The Teochew/Chiu Chow influence is also quite deep rooted in Singapore and Thai Chinese, so not surprised to see this variant.
Mixed pork organs/innards would be 豬雜, so maybe what you need to request (off menu) would be
if going to a Cantonese restaurant, assuming they have fresh innards, or at the very least, good pork stomach, or if the restaurant also serves 及第粥 (pork kidney, intestines, and liver congee).

Where to buy good quality kani miso in Osaka or Kyoto?
Thank you so much la2tokyo, I am traveling with friends who went last year to Aritsugu, who need to go back this time to get more knives and gear, so that is perfect! Thanks for the heads up on the price, not unreasonable given the craftsmanship. Guess the rest is just figuring out how to carefully transport/conceal and bring the katsuo blocks (from other vendors within the market) back to California.
Where to buy good quality kani miso in Osaka or Kyoto?
Thanks! I totally forgot about depachikas.
Any recommended sake (and other alcohol) breweries in Kansai (Keihanshin area?)
Fantastic, thanks so much!!!
Where to buy good quality kani miso in Osaka or Kyoto?
Last year while vacationing in Hong Kong I picked up a can of kani miso imported from Hokkaido, think it was Jason's or whatever was the large supermarket by Times Square basement (before you hit the MTR). It had the consistency of a very runny liquid paste, different than the buttery spread consistency I've had before at some places, but it was great with other applications/dishes.
Anyone know if kani miso can be purchased from Nishiki market in Kyoto, or Kuromon market in Osaka. And if not, where is a place where I could get it easily, and has a shelf life longer than say 6 months to a year?
On a separate note, I've seen pictures of whole dried katsuo (for katsuobushi shaving) at Nishiki market. I assume I can also buy a kezuri/shaver and box as well over there?
Any recommended sake (and other alcohol) breweries in Kansai (Keihanshin area?)
Not sure how I missed those threads. Thanks wekabeka and Pata_Negra!
I'm familiar with Tamanohikari, had some recently at a local sushi/tapas restaurant and it was quite good.
Any recommended sake (and other alcohol) breweries in Kansai (Keihanshin area?)
Will be staying in Osaka area (exact location unknown at this time) and hitting up Kyoto, maybe Kobe if there is time, in early January for a few days.
Are there are good sake breweries in the area, open to the public, have a gift shop, and are visitor friendly/fairly easy to get to from train station (if non English speaking that is still ok)?
We may do Suntory Hakushu Distillery (Osaka) if there's nothing else interesting. Not sure yet about that Kobe sake museum.
Noriega Street, SF - Recent Observations
I love Thai Nghiep Ky. My go-to bowl there is #13, which is the TNK noodle, but the best way to go is ask for broth on the side, wide egg noodles. The pork kidney is consistently great on the execution (freshness is key, and not overcooked). Throw in the pickled jalapeno, chili sauce, hoisin if you will, toss it up and it's very good. That wide egg noodle surpasses many Cantonese noodle shops and tastes as close to what a good eggy egg noodle (wide) should taste like in Hong Kong (odd to find that at a Vietnamese Chinese noodle shop). I prefer this bowl over the dried orange peel marinated duck leg and pork won tons (which are good but not their best). Their fish balls are rather disappointing, tastes more like supermarket refrigerated deli section stuff you can buy.
Cafe Bakery and Restaurant has been there for quite a long time (as well as the adjoining bakery next door). They serve what is basically "soy sauce fusion" or Hong Kong style western that is comfort food for Hong Kong and Southern Chinese expats who grew up eating this style of food. Not glamorous by any means, and if you compare to Hong Kong, the execution is actually average to below average. What the locals in the area like about this place are childhood memories, value (the portions are not bad), and eclectic enough with a flavor that appeals to them. The sweet "dinner" roll one gets with the house soup (red or white, either HK style Borscht which is not bad but not robust enough for me, or cream of corn/chicken/mushroom type of soup) is very tasty. It's different than a HK cafe elsewhere, because they focus on HK style western. Despite the rather sweet ketchup based sauce, the ketchup/tomato sauce baked ox tongue spaghetti was not bad.
Not too hard to figure out the locals sometimes....lines/wait form as a result of 1) loyalty and familiarity 2) curiosity (if it is a brand new establishment) 3) they offer some sort of value and 4) it tastes good enough to them that they like it.

Osaka Binbiya びんびや - need some help with menu translation :-)
Fugu karaage?! Zugoi! We are soooo going there!
Had some head/cheek fugu karaage (farmed I think) at the defunct Hikari in Hong Kong (kappo ryori place) and it was so damn good. I think there are some fugu teishoku restaurants in Kyoto/Osaka as well.
Osaka Binbiya びんびや - need some help with menu translation :-)
Thanks hblnk! Yes this is a Michelin star'd eatery from what I've learned, maybe the most high end "izakaya" around with many fish-based dishes (I personally love sakana and all sorts of seafood). So more izakaya, but perhaps a kappo-ryori kind of decor and service?
Glad that I have some rudiments down...just annoying when I see 4 kinds of karaage but have no clue what they are due to the hiragana, or the two kinds of kama meshi.
If waitress can help read the menu items to me, we are going to be set.
I'll have my friend's local contact make the reservation then once I discuss this with him (amongst other options around Keihanshin, too many). Sounds like 2 to 3 days in advance is sufficient based on one TL reviewer.
Can't wait to taste the winter season delights (especially fish)! If only there were a fast forward button I could press, two more months to go! Big problem will be too many choices not enough time.
Osaka Binbiya びんびや - need some help with menu translation :-)
Thanks SJ!
Oh yeah I should read user reviews (via google translate) to figure out what else they have. Hopefully a phone app English to Japanese translator won't come out all whack either on site.
Osaka Binbiya びんびや - need some help with menu translation :-)
This is for Osaka びんびや Binbiya, supposedly at this address
I can read kanji but hiragana is lost on me. I would probably be able to understand what the specific dish is if I were told of it.
Managed to find a menu pic from 2014 and one from 2012
I can kind of make out that the food is categorized by
yakimono, ni-mono, gohan, chinmi (sake/beer eats) and ippin (not sure what that means), something I can't quite make out (tempura?) and agemono, plus a sea bream item in a category I can't quite figure out (what is that sea bream/tai dish by the way?).
Will this place do a chef's tasting set of courses, like an otsumami omakase (and is that common for kappo ryori shops in Osaka and Kyoto)?
Trying to decide if my friends and I should give this place a go.
Thanks so much!
Your most delicious and uncanny ways to eat Spam?
Inspired by two cafes in Hong Kong :-)
Fried egg (sunny yolk), pan fried spam, tomato, in a sandwich, using Hong Kong style pineapple bun.
Or replace the tomato with a layer of cooked instant noodles, as al dente as possible.
Could replace pineapple bun with croissant.
Oct 30, 2014K K in General Topics
No, though there is likely a surcharge for adding salted fish. Some people prefer egg white and dried scallop by without it, but to me adding it elevates the dish by a ton.
Oct 30, 2014K K in San Francisco Bay Area
Pre-order it from Yum's Bistro in Fremont. He does a very tasty version of it. Though I prefer his rendition of salted fish, dried scallops, egg white fried rice 鹹魚瑶柱蛋白炒飯. In a pinch, Cooking Papa does this fried rice fairly decently as well if one cannot get to Fremont.

Longtime resident at a loss for a favorite sushi place... Kusakabe a disappointment...
I actually agree with you on what you said.
I have other opinions, observations, and preferences about Akiko's that I rather not say (some are mine, some are not), but you pretty much nailed their limitations from a high level.
I'm darn sure Mori and Shunji blows away Akiko's if you factor in skill and sensibilities, and want a more authentic experience. I have friends who agree with your assessment and satisfaction with Hide-san for SF. But unfortunately business ownership/direction and chefs clash a lot easier up here, that plus the need for perhaps wider recognition and doing something different/cutting edge at the expense of doing it right and proper in the eyes of some of us diners.
The best way for others to avoid disappointment (for others having expectations or world experience with sushi) is to not think of them in the same league as the LA greats (let alone compare them) or abroad, but instead, as I said above, see them for what they are trying to do. Think of some investors who are serious enough with their hobby but don't have the proper training to replicate the Ginza experience (or anywhere close), so it's high end fish plus modern kitchen techniques. In some ways the late Sebo was like that, they weren't as great as Sushi Zo in 2007, but it was the closest I got then.
It's like saying Mission Chinese Food sucks (or PF Changs or Panda Express) because they are not authentic/traditional. They are not even trying to set out to replicate that. "Sushi" is not even in the restaurant name for Akiko's (and last I went, they had no signage to deter tourists haha).
For me I had three excellent experiences at Akiko's with former chef Ricky, but he left. I'm not aching to return at this time though, but will recommend others to try it so they have another perspective, and at least be able to (if they want to pay) high end fish unavailable elsewhere.
And if that doesn't float one's boat, there is always the infamous Sawa in Sunnyvale, huge chunks of butsugiri high end sashimi smothered with Cali/French style sauces across 24 courses! Of course I'd rather go to UraSAWA.
Oct 29, 2014K K in San Francisco Bay Area
Longtime resident at a loss for a favorite sushi place... Kusakabe a disappointment...
Akiko's is owned and managed by Ray Lee (friends say he is Chinese, not Korean). Former chef Ricky has a Chinese last name and the current head chef is now Geoffrey Lee (was told he worked at Sushi Ran before). They have some assistant chefs but none of them are Japanese. (Kusakabe's sous chef Ken is also Chinese from Hong Kong, worked with Nori-san for quite some time back at Sushi Ran and even interned with Atelier Crenn).
But I will say this, Akiko's is able to source fish many others are unable to, including Hokkaido Keiji salmon (1 in 10,000 catches), Russian uni, and some really really really exotic Japanese fish. They use fancy kitchen technology and apply it to fish preparation as well as condiments, so the approach is not Edo-style, but more so Edo inspired with modern techniques (a lot of it stemmed from Mitsunori Kusakabe no doubt). If you love abalone, and get a chance to try their kelp marinated kuro-awabi from Japan and sous vide, do it.
Oct 29, 2014K K in San Francisco Bay Area
Longtime resident at a loss for a favorite sushi place... Kusakabe a disappointment...
シマアジ【縞鰺】shima-aji - striped jack (white trevally), sometimes known as jack mackeral (white trevally is the most accurate name). Very confusing since it is many times not considered "hikarimono" even though the exterior skin is silver, but it is generally categorized under "shiromi"/white fleshed fish from many sushi books (English and Japanese), and sushi chefs will put it on the high end of the spectrum of the trio hamachi, kanpachi, shima aji.
I too looked at my photo and copy of the Pabu omakase menu and they did put shima aji under the "dari course" of the silvery skinned fish (saba, kohada, sanma). Doesn't help they are confusing the diner that way.
Oct 27, 2014K K in San Francisco Bay Area
Longtime resident at a loss for a favorite sushi place... Kusakabe a disappointment...
Some random comments
Kusakabe has been opened for 5 months tops, and suddenly one Michelin star. Granted Sushi Ran has had its share of awards over the years, but this seems to cheapen the criteria of which stars are awarded. A lot of other people feel similarly (especially the food eaters community in Hong Kong at the awarding of stars).
Dined at Kusakabe on Tuesday, and first time back in June(?) and both experiences were different, yet similar. Loved the first visit, but couldn't help but notice things about the 2nd visit that could have been better.
Pre-saucing nigiri...well that seems to be the latest trend these days even at high end sushi in Hong Kong. Longtime residents of SF Bay Area are too used to undressed nigiri (e.g. Ino), and then when Sushi Sam's started doing it maybe 6 years ago people went nuts (but his is the extreme) and Kusakabe tries to achieve a balance, but yet there were times when I felt the seasonings could have been minimized a bit more. At least they are not drizzling truffle oil on nigiri, I hate that.
The pacing of the meal I agree could be better, but it is weird to have a few pieces of nigiri, then some cooked dishes, then nigiri, a soup, another dish, then ending with some nigiri. Two visits and the sashimi course was very lackluster. Shaved iced is a nice presentation but I'm not crazy about small ice crystals clinging onto the bluefin and scallop. Also for such a nice place, the quality of the sashimi course could be way better. But Nori-san is not the one plating them.
If they could do a strict nigiri omakase dinner, I would totally go for it.
Kusakabe's set dinner is more like a tasting menu, "omakase" is losing its meaning there. With the 2nd visit they've added a wine and sake sommelier (two people), guess they have to with the star now.
Koo I went to late last year/very early this year and was very disappointed (it was a Wednesday night). Kiyoshi-san was not there that night and the chef who served me is a friend I knew from somewhere else, very talented guy but the quality was really off for the price (for the same price I could have gone to Maruya). But I will say Koo's cooked dishes are still great (e.g. smoked ankimo with beets, or a grilled fish collar, or if Kiyoshi-san hooks you up with a daikon-ni in very good dashi)
I have not been to Yume in Alameda but a few friends swear by it.
I would still give Maruya a try with the new chef, as saddened as I am with the departure of Hide and Masa.

Favorite sushi in SF right now?
Hope you sat in front of Chef Yoji. I had the exact same meal you did Saturday night.
The nigiri pieces were on the small side, consistent with what I was told about Hana.
The rice is very good, the problem is that the temperature was inconsistent throughout the meal, not sure if it was because a different batch was used after the first set. I prefer Kusakabe's rice by far.
Oct 23, 2014K K in San Francisco Bay Area
My sake was $16 to $18 but they have cheaper options. I mentioned the total (minus tip) above that includes sake (and sales tax).
They do not have your sponge cake tamagoyaki here. Theirs is the textbook common version. Mine was cold on two visits but still nice to have to close and signal the end of omakase. (Yes I was visiting the OC last week).
Oct 15, 2014K K in Los Angeles Area
Think it was a tad below that with the Urakasumi included in the final tab.
I actually asked for 2 pieces of marinated bluefin (only one is pictured).

Oct 14, 2014K K in Los Angeles Area
Dropped by Kasen 5 days ago and got seated in front of the chef. Gladly answered questions about fish (though he never introduced any of the fish as he put down the nigiri, but I was able to figure out most of them), though was very brief with his answers. Looks like a typical shokunin type, but doesn't give you that gruff cold feeling like Keizo/Sushi Zo back in the day.
The sake and beer list is on one small placard, and for a place frequented mostly by local Japanese expats, the selection is small indeed. Settled on a 180 mL Urakasumi sake to kick off the meal, and then just asked for omakase in Japanese.
Tai no konbu jime (kelp marinated sea bream). Old school prep with skin on. Very nice specimen. Very enjoyable sushi rice recipe (clearly not aka shari/red vinegar marinated) that is far better than most places in SF Bay Area. Ended up getting another piece after the tamagoyaki course
Shima aji - a very interesting almost triangular like cut that had a nice light crunch factor. Not a typical curvature nigiri mold (made to look like a fan), but the bite was awesome (the right thickness)
Unmarinated bluefin (akami) - firm meaty specimen. I actually asked him if it was Spanish bluefin and he replied "soh" in Japanese (assuming that is a resounding yes).
Albacore - Normally not a fan of this since it is filler material (and granted I am not a regular here), but I have to say the chef's knifework enhanced the texture of the chew. And for albacore sushi this is one of the best preps I've had in a while.
Santa Barbara abalone - I can tell Kasen (and the chef) takes pride in their shellfish, despite a smaller selection this visit. Fantastic looking specimens that I would probably say surpassed Monterey abalone that I had at Akaoni in Carmel.
Uni - the chef molds it as nigiri without the use of nori, as some schools of thought believe that nori interferes with the flavor of really good uni. I want to say he didn't use a shiso leaf to prevent squishing (during the molding) but I can't remember. Good man.
Sumi ika with shiso - very nice, especially the cross cuts he made on top. It was not as good as the piece I had at Wako in San Francisco recently.
Chef then put down a piece that looked like kohada, but it seemed a tad smaller. So I asked him if it was kohada or shinko, which he paused for less than 2 seconds before confirming with me that it was shinko. Quite the surprise! Ended up doubling down on this one, with the 2nd piece nearing the end where he folded/molded 3 pieces together. Great marination on this specimen.
Mirugai - Haven't had good geoduck in a long time, and even high end Japanese sushi restaurants in SF Bay Area get inconsistent quality specimens. Can always rely on Kasen to give a nice piece with ample bite and texture.
Toro - chef apologized for not having chu-toro. I wouldn't say the toro was earth shattering, but it was pretty good and maybe even better if marinated. But I will admit that it looked very beautiful, like fatty marbled well distributed Japanese beef (falling frost/shimofuri distribution).
ikura - shio/salted version and clumpy. I was rather disappointed that he would serve this. Sushi Koto's shoyu ikura is far superior and is a delight to have in their kaisendon. The downer of the evening
Santa Barbara ama ebi - chef makes these delicate slits on top and removes the tail, as if he were serving shiro ebi. I love Santa Barbara fresh spot prawn. It's got that awesome crunch factor. I cringe when I end up having ama ebi at restaurants that are mushy from being pre-frozen.
Anago - very tasty, meaty yet tender. The way the piece wraps around the shari is rather unusual. I would have to agree though, once you have Japanese anago at a Ginza-esque sushi restaurant, you will never be the same again.
Tamagoyaki - sadly not the chef's forte and not my favorite
Scallop - from Hokkaido of course, but much tastier and meatier than what I've had before. The best one for me is Akiko's (prior to a recent re-org) in SF where they flew in Hokkaido scallops from Japan without going through flash/deep freeze (or so they said).
I was asked if I wanted the ama ebi head fried, grilled, or in miso soup, of which I opted for the soup. "Antennae" clipped, but that roe in the head was awesome. Also, traditional shop here uses aka miso/aka dashi, with a slight smokey and very mildly sour presence.
Asked the chef then to make a piece of blue fin akami marinated in soy sauce (shoyu zuke) which he was also doing for 3 Japanese customers to my right. He probably marinated the slices for about 5 minutes, and it was definitely far better than the unmarinated version. Definitely the way to go if you get bluefin (dorsal) and perhaps if he has chu-toro.
Saba - Kasen's other claim to fame in the JP community is their saba (or anago) battera, especially if you get it to go they put them in these neat boxes. So saba nigiri is a less calorific way to go. Chef always nails the marination of the mackeral down. Granted it is likely not Japanese saba (looks more like Norwegian, and I've had goma saba and masaba before), but it is so tasty compared to most places in SF Bay Area (even better than Ino). Can you imagine how ridiculous this would be if they used goma saba or masaba for this?
Crab - not sure why I got this, but it was good and filled my fix. Now if only he had kani-miso...
Not on the menu but spotted in the fish counter, ika geso (squid legs). No seasoning at all, but very tasty.
Ankimo - not the greatest, but not bad.
At this rate I was getting pretty full so decided on a hosomaki. Wasn't sure if they had takuan, so ended up getting the cheaper veggie option, kanpyo maki and it was very satisfying.
If I lived closer I would definitely return to try more seasonal items and their osechi...
Oct 14, 2014K K in Los Angeles Area
Is that pen shell/tairagai in photo #7? So hard to get find that in NorCal sushi shops! Last year's visit...the mirugai was ridiculous, as was the chef's knifework and detail...and the way he preps/cuts abalone. If only I could visit when they have a full lineup of shellfish...

The Great Wonton soup quest (trying to find east coast style wonton soup in SF)
Actually, Mark you did not order wrong.
When this restaurant first opened they did try to focus entirely on Cantonese noodles and food around it.
But as time went by, whoever is in charge decided to spice things up with variety to also do various stir fry, and introduce other elements of regional and southern Chinese. After having noodles at traditional Cantonese noodle shops in Hong Kong (that specialize in this stuff) in last two years to understand it better, then coming back sometime last year to try one noodle dish, I can honestly say King of Won Ton are not really putting the effort into their namesake, and it sounds like the regional Chinese and Southern Chinese/non Hong Kong Cantonese side of the menu isn't any better either.
