Girls win prizes
Today the Turner Prize shortlist is announced. The winner will receive pounds 20,000 and acres of publicity. But if you're a man looking for recognition, forget it. Matthew Collings ponders the all female line-up
Tuesday 17 June 1997
These are all good questions. My favourite is the one about stone-carving. Actually there was a stone-carver one year - Tony Cragg. But I think he gets assistants to do his carving for him. And usually they're stone-carvings of dice or rubber stamps or something. Enlarged to monumental size. Not shapely nudes.
Because contemporary art just doesn't go in for that kind of thing. It's all in the mind now. That's why it's called Conceptual Art. And then it's all in how you present their stuff that's in your mind. That's why it's called Installation Art.
So, first of all, as an artist, your mind is a bit post-modern and alienated, because that's what we all are, even if we're not artists. Post-modern means things not meaning what they used to mean but not looking radically different, so it's hard to tell exactly how they've stopped meaning the old things. That applies to everything now - art, life, Top of the Pops. Everything.
And secondly, it would be strange to try and present that in a straightforward stone-carving kind of way, because stone-carving is the same as everything else. It's completely up for grabs as far as meaning goes. For one thing, it's an aesthetic thing and a skill thing (OK, that's two things), and aesthetics and skill are out. At least, they're out in the way that they used to be in. They're not believed in in the way they used to be. In fact, they're still in, but not in the old way. They're in in a new way.
In fact all the artists on the Turner Prize list this year are pretty aesthetic. And pretty skillful. But not in the way Eric Gill used to be. Or Brancusi. More like the way Joseph Beuys used to be. Except not completely like him because his way of not being aesthetic or skillful in the old Brancusi way involved a lot of heavy personal charisma, which is another thing that's more or less out now. It's not considered necessary anymore. Even Damien Hirst, who won the prize last year, is pretty normal in the way he behaves. It's just his art that's weird. But that isn't really weird either because we see it all the time on TV, so we're used it. It's normal.
So really these things aren't impossible to think about or to answer. We're just used to playing the game that they're impossible. What is the Turner Prize for anyway? It's a publicity event, to get the media to pay attention to the achievements of British artists. And the values of everybody outside that, which are even harder to get, of course. But there is a kind of Zeitgeisty generalised worldview of things that a lot of people kind of have. If there wasn't, Today and Start the Week would be impossible to understand. Actually, they really are impossible for a lot of people to understand but then the Turner Prize isn't for them. It's for the Today and Start the Week world. It can't solve everything after all.
Basically it has to show the Radio 4 understanders that it knows what the cutting edge in contemporary art is. But it has to show also that it has a kind of authority and a dignity and identity of its own so everybody outside the cutting-edge world will believe in it. Like Tinkerbell. Except fairies are out now.
So what about the artists this year? Gillian Wearing. Angela Bulloch. Cornelia Parker. Christine Borland. All women and all of them not painting or sculpting. Last year it was all men and one of them was a painter. So it's certainly different. It's different and the same, at the same time. And that's only right.
Who will win? I don't know. If I was a judge, I'd probably vote for Gillian Wearing because she does a very direct kind of art where the thoughts and sayings and fantasies and behaviour of incredibly real people, mostly not Radio 4 understanders are the subject. She's dark and outsider-ish and a bit dysfunctional. And that's all good, too, especially within the context of the Turner Prize, which is a bit white and shiny and highbrow.
Christine Borland is a kind of Conceptual Art version of the way Start the Week mostly talks about science and Steven Hawking nowadays, and not so much about cultural things. We're suddenly fascinated by pop science but we don't know why and she's picked up on that. She does experiments and investigations, like firing a rifle at a piece of glass and then exhibiting the glass with the holes in it and listing the exact velocity and gauge of the bullet and width of glass and so on. Or getting some real bone fragments and having a forensic head-reconstruction artist make a head from them. Which is kind of fascinating. So she could get the prize because it's a way of showing that contemporary art is fascinated by the same things that everyone else is on to.
Another thing everybody finds fascinating is ordinary familiar things and that's Cornelia Parker's area, so she could get the prize too. She got an old shed and blew it up once and then exhibited the fragments. It was completely blown up into a million pieces but it was still an old shed that a real person had pottered about in once.
But maybe I'd give it to Angela Bulloch. Just because she's so relaxed about modern life. They all Post-Warhol artists - they make art out of modern life but then they kind of fold their arms and shrug and leave the audience to work out the meaning. But she's the most purely Warholian. She does installations with blinking light bulbs and giant floppy bean bags and the remains of take-away meals and environmental soundtracks of overheard conversations that don't particularly seem to be going anywhere. It's art that looks so relaxed and inclusive and unjudgemental about anything that at first you think, "uh?" But after you've been going round it for a while, you wonder if perhaps everyone else isn't being a bit obvious

Zora Bernice May Cross
Love Sonnet LVIII
Do not surcharge our souls with that vile blame
To which our bodies are subjected here;
Nor heap them with the horror of dull fear
Base-borrowed from a life of torpid shame.
But let them linger like a lovely flame
Above the clay to which they must cohere,
Lighting the earthly to the heavenly sphere
To meet the mystery from which they came.
As midnight drinks a message from the moon
And morning takes her orders from the sun,
So let our bodies to our souls submit
And live for ever in their still high-noon,
Where morn and midnight gather into one,
And only angels on their missions flit.

Martin Burns, Glasgow – 5 November 2014
Hi Gaff, which six players have scored 50 or more Premier League goals but have never been given a full international cap?
The Gaffer says:
Nice question, Martin! Regular readers will know Kevin Campbell is the highest Premier League goalscorer to have never won an international cap. The former striker scored 82 goals (22 for Arsenal, 9 for Nottingham Forest, 45 for Everton and 6 for West Brom) and only represented England at U21 and 'B' team level. The other five uncapped players to score 50+ goals are Chris Armstrong (71 goals), Kevin Nolan (68)*, Paolo Di Canio (68), Dean Holdsworth (63) and Mark Bright (50). *Still active.
Graham, Work – 4 November 2014
Since the Premier League's introduction, where has the team placed 2nd at Xmas/NYE gone on to finish?
The Gaffer says:
OK, I've done the research for you and I'm not sure that it proves very much, but I'll leave it up to you to analyse! Here's the list (in each case, the team listed occupied second place on New Year's Day that season, and the position is where they finished): 1992/93 - Man Utd; top. 93/94 - Blackburn; 2nd. 94/95 - Man Utd; 2nd. 95/96 - Man Utd; top. 96/97 - Man Utd; top. 97/98 - Blackburn; 6th. 98/99 - Chelsea; 3rd. 99/00 - Man Utd; top. 00/01 - Arsenal; 2nd. 01/02 - Newcastle; 4th. 02/03 - Chelsea; 4th. 03/04 - Arsenal; top. 04/05 - Arsenal; 2nd. 05/06 - Man Utd; 2nd. 06/07 - Chelsea; 2nd. 07/08 - Man Utd; top. 08/09 - Chelsea; 3rd. 09/10 - Man Utd; 2nd. 10/11 - Man City; 3rd. 11/12 - Man Utd; 2nd. 12/13 - Man City; 2nd. 13/14 - Man City; top. So, on seven occasions, the club in second place at the turn of the year has won the title. On ten occasions they have remained in second. On only ONE occasion has the New Year second-placed team dropped out of the top four. If there's one conclusion to be drawn, it's that Southampton fans might want to start thinking about booking flights for next autumn!
Trev, Manchester – 4 November 2014
Which players have played for Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League?
The Gaffer says:
Paul Parker (pictured), Mark Hughes, Mark Bosnich, Juan Sebastian Veron and Juan Mata are the five men to have worn the respective red and blue shirts of United and Chelsea since 1992/93. Before the Premier League era, Ray Wilkinsm Alex Stepney, George Graham and Mickey Thomas are among the luminaries to straddle both camps.
Masai Graham, West Bromwich – 4 November 2014
Has anyone ever finished as the season's Premier League top goal scorer without having a hat-trick within their tally?
The Gaffer says:
This has only happened twice in the 22 completed seasons of the Premier League. In 1998/99, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, then of Leeds, finished joint top scorer on 18 with Michael Owen and Dwight Yorke. All the Dutchman's goals were in singles apart from braces against Liverpool and Aston Villa. In 2001/02, Thierry Henry finished as top Premier League goal scorer for the first time with 24 goals, none of which were part of a hat-trick, although he did score twice on seven occasions.
Masai Graham, West Bromwich – 18 November 2014
Of all the players to have represented more than one nation, who earned the most amount of caps before defecting?
The Gaffer says:
This accolade belongs to one of the most famous 'dual nationality' international footballers of them all. It's Ferenc Puskas, who played 85 times for Hungary between 1945 and 1956, scoring a ridiculous 84 goals, before defecting to Spain. In 1956, the Hungarian uprising against the Soviets led to several Hungarian players fleeing the country. At the time of the uprising, Puskas' team Honved were in Bilbao playing a European Cup tie. After serving a two-year Fifa ban for refusing to return to his native Budapest, Puskas settled in Spain and was signed by Real Madrid in 1958. He was capped by Spain four times, three of those at the 1962 World Cup, but he never scored for his adopted nation. The next highest number of caps before a 'defection' (and I'm ruling out players who've played for a country which subsequently changed its own identity, such as Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia) is by Michel Platini. He played 72 times for France before coming out of retirement in 1988 aged 33 to turn out for Kuwait. He played 21 minutes of the 2-0 defeat to the Soviet Union in a friendly as something of a publicity stunt organised by the Emir (ruler) of Kuwait.
Colin Mcloughlin, Liverpool – 12 November 2014
Hi Gaff, heres one to test the old grey matter. What was a little odd about the 1937-38 English League Division One final table?
The Gaffer says:
I know what you're getting at here Colin! It's the extremely curious case of Manchester City's relegation the year after winning the title. City scored 80 goals that season - more than any other team, in fact three more than champions Arsenal - yet still went down, finishing second from bottom. They 'only' conceded 77, losing lots of games fairly narrowly but winning several by big margins (two 7-1s, a 6-1, 6-2 and 5-3). It has to be said, they were very unlucky; 1937/38 produced the closest relegation battle in top-flight history with only four points spanning the bottom 11 clubs. With one game left, Man City were top of a group of six clubs joint-bottom on 36 points, with Huddersfield on 37 and Everton 38. But City lost their final game at Huddersfield and other results conspired against them.
Cymru_lad, Croesyceiliog – 21 October 2014
Why did the old Division One have an odd number of teams in the league in the late 80s? How did this work and why did this happen!?
The Gaffer says:
You're right, the top flight of English football did have 21 clubs in 1987/88. It's still the only year in history that the top flight has had an odd number of teams. The reason was that the Football League were coming under pressure to reduce the amount of games per season in order to benefit the international side. In 1986/87 the First Division consisted of 22 teams and it was proposed that it was whittled down to 20 over the course of two seasons. In the first of those two seasons, Division One was slimmed to 21 clubs and Division Two had 23. At the end of 1987/88, four teams went down from the top flight and only three came up (including Middlesbrough in a relegation/promotion play-off against First Division Chelsea), thus evening things out again.
Martin Burns, Glasgow – 14 October 2014
Hi Gaff, I saw last week that John Terry had played 100 games in the Champions League, all for Chelsea. Have many other players played 100 or more games in the Champions League all for just one club? I guess Ryan Giggs would be one, and Xavi.
The Gaffer says:
Not including qualifying games, Terry is the 13th player to join the 100 club following Giggs (145 games for Manchester United), Xavi (143 for Barcelona)*, Iker Casillas (142 for Real Madrid)*, Paolo Maldini (135 for AC Milan), Raul (130 for Real Madrid), Paul Scholes (124 for Manchester United), Carles Puyol (115 for Barcelona), Gary Neville (109 for Manchester United), Roberto Carlos (107 for Real Madrid), Victor Valdes (106 for Barcelona), Oliver Kahn (103 for Bayern Munich) and Frank Lampard (102 for Chelsea). If you did count qualifiers, then Roar Strand (Rosenborg), Oleksandr Shovkovskiy (Dynamo Kiev)* and Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan) would also make the cut. *Active player at that club.
Ali Stirling, Prestwick – 4 September 2014
With Rolando Aarons scoring a goal at the weekend, making him top alphabetically of Premier League scorers, can you tell me gaff, who is bottom of this list? My mate Iain says it must be Zola but I'm sure you can prove him wrong?
The Gaffer says:
I certainly can, Ali! Firstly, you're right that Rolando Aarons' recent goal for Newcastle against Crystal Palace does indeed make him the top all-time Premier League goalscorer if you arrange them all in alphabetical order (taking over from previous incumbent Gary Ablett). Your mate is wrong about Gianfranco Zola being last alphabetically though. It's former Coventry forward Ysrael Zuniga, who scored three goals in his two seasons at Highfield Road between 1999 and 2001. Elsad Zverotic is the last on the list of all-time Premier League appearances, but he didn't score a goal in his six games for Fulham last season (2013/14).
Bap, Belfast – 20 November 2014
Hey gaffer. Who holds the Premier League record for most sending offs? I think it's Patrick Vieira but my mate is convinced it's Robbie Savage. Enlighten us Gaffer!
The Gaffer says:
I get this question a lot. The record jointly held by Vieira, Duncan Ferguson and Richard Dunne, with eight red cards apiece. Savage received 89 yellow cards (sixth on the all-time list) but was surprisingly only sent off once during his Premier League career - for Blackburn against Middlesbrough in 2006.
Liam, Buxton – 7 October 2014
With Watford sacking Billy McKinlay after two games, what is the short reign ever by a manager?
The Gaffer says:
Undoubtedly Leroy Rosenior's 10 minutes in charge of Torquay during his second spell at the Gulls. Regular readers will be familiar with the tale, but for those that aren't, Rosenior was unveiled as the Conference-bound side's new manager on 17 May 2007. However, just 10 minutes later, chairman Mike Bateson phoned him to say he'd sold the club to a new consortium and the new owners' first act was to relieve Rosenior of his duties. He said afterwards: "I did the press conference, I did all the interviews, and within 10 minutes, Mike called me to let me know he had actually sold the club. It was something that I knew was going to happen but I didn't think it was going to happen after 10 minutes."
Wally Thomson, Norwich – 9 June 2014
Who is the youngest player ever to play at a World Cup?
The Gaffer says:
An old one but as it's that time of the year... Norman Whiteside, aged 17 years and 41 days, for Northern Ireland against Yugoslavia in 1982. Pele is the youngest to play in the final. He was 17 years and 249 days old when he scored twice in Brazil 5-2 victory against Sweden in 1958.
Frederick Gillespie, Nottingham – 15 May 2014
Gaffer, my wife informs me that this season has seen a record number of managers leaving their posts in the Premiership? when was the previous record set and what was it?
The Gaffer says:
I wish my wife casually dished out football trivia over the dinner table! She's spot on. There were 10 managerial departures during the 2013/14 Premier League season, and 12 if you count Tim Sherwood and Pepe Mel, who technically left after the season had ended. The previous record was in 2008/09, when there were nine, but again 12 if you count the proceeding summer. They were, in chronological order, Alan Curbishley (resigned at West Ham), Kevin Keegan (quit Newcastle), Juande Ramos (sacked by Spurs), Harry Redknapp (left Portsmouth for Spurs), Roy Keane (resigned from Sunderland), Paul Ince (sacked by Blackburn), Tony Adams (sacked by Portsmouth), Luiz Felipe Scolari (sacked by Chelsea) and Joe Kinnear (stepped down at Newcastle). Then after the season had finished Guus Hiddink left as interim manager of Chelsea, Ricky Sbragia resigned at Sunderland and Steve Bruce left Wigan to replace him on Wearside.
Richard, St Helens – 15 May 2014
Which nine players have scored for six different Premier League clubs
The Gaffer says:
Craig Bellamy has now scored for seven different Prem clubs, making him the sole the record holder. He's netted for Coventry, Newcastle, Blackburn, Liverpool, West Ham, Man City and Cardiff. The others are: Andrew Cole (Newcastle, Man Utd, Blackburn, Fulham, Man City and Portsmouth), Les Ferdinand (QPR, Newcastle, Tottenham West Ham, Leicester, Bolton), Robbie Keane (Coventry, Leeds, Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa), Nicolas Anelka (Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Bolton, Chelsea and West Brom), Darren Bent (Ipswich, Charlton, Tottenham, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Fulham), Marcus Bent (Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Leicester, Everton, Charlton and Wigan), Peter Crouch (Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Tottenham and Stoke) and Nick Barmby (Tottenham, Middlesbrough, Everton, Leeds, Liverpool and Hull).

Sean Brock's Favorite Cookbooks
What a gracious and clearly intelligent fellow. A pleasure.
What a gracious and clearly intelligent fellow. A pleasure.
During the summer, I cook up a mess of mussels and steamer clams almost every week, thanks to a lovely stand at the greenmarket that sells bags of cleaned, wild clams and mussels, ready to go. Because I am grit-phobic, I always purge them, even though I have read that it doesn't work; IME, if I purge the suckers, there's no grit. Do I know for certain there would have been grit if I hadn't? Nope. But it's a sort of Pascal's Wager situation, so I purge, most often with cornmeal, sometimes with flour, in three gallons of water mixed with 1 cup of sea salt. In the fridge overnight. I have read all kinds of things about how this will kill the clams; all I can tell you is, I do it, and they never die.
I love mussels and clams with just about anything, but I am lazy and hungry, so a wacking load of chopped garlic and onions sautéed till golden in the fat from some chopped bacon, plus about a third of a bottle of beer, is my standard go-to. Once in a while I'll make a thick tomato sauce, because summer tomatoes, and also because mussels fa diavolo is about the best thing ever.
@big sugi: "his dad's Italian. If he wants to make "chow fun" with wonton skins, that's his right as an American, by gosh"
By gosh and by golly, he can make anything he wants. And he can call it anything he wants, just like I -- who am not Italian, and I'm not sure why that's relevant here, but ok -- would be entirely within my God-given, Constitutionally derived rights to pickle an eggplant and call it gelato.
But it wouldn't be. A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but the reverse is not true: I, who cannot eat wheat products, would be in deep ordure were I to order nice, friendly-sounding chow fun only to find it was made -- thanks purely to the whim of the maker, because it amused him to mess with the eaters -- out of wheat.
And you don't want to know how I would react if I ordered gelato and got eggplant instead.
It's a good piece, but I got hung up in the third paragraph, with your dad using "wonton skin" to make chow fun. Chow fun are rice noodles. Wonton skins are made with wheat; they're essentially wheat noodles. Two totally different animals.
Marquise, as it happens, I have been diagnosed with celiac, so I'm now gluten-free. And for many years, I was a diabetic controlling my blood sugar with diet, which meant I was very definitely part of the "carb-cutting set." Just because you don't personally struggle with a given issue does not mean it's cool to demean those who do.
I'm a VANILLA egg-cream girl, and the best, for my money, was at the late and much lamented Dave's Luncheonette, on Canal Street. Hey, it was immortalized by Lou Reed. I spent one hot, sticky summer -- back in the paleolithic era -- working nearby, and the highlight of my day was lunch, which was invariably one of Dave's incomparable dogs, crisp and snappy off the grill, and a vanillucious egg cream.
FWIW, I really like this series, and I really like the Ideas in Food blog. And I have both of their books and am eagerly anticipating the next.
I don't think it's necessary to make the entire dish, as presented, in order to derive real value from the series, which at heart is about technique rather than particular recipes. Will I make the clam dish? Probably not; I don't much like spicy food. But I LOVE clams and hate shucking them, so learning about cryo-shucking is incredibly valuable for me. I have very definitely been disappointed by the wan flavor of the berries I buy, so learning how to amp up the flavor with dried berries is something I find really useful, whether or not I ever make the entire dessert.
I'm a "word" person, and I can well understand being irritated by what feels or seems like a misuse of language. In this instance, I'd say it would be too bad to allow that irritation to cut you off from the aspects of the series that you might enjoy or find genuinely useful.
Timberbt, a lot of old-school Chinese recipes use water-chestnut flour (sometimes called water-chestnut powder) rather than cornstarch. I would definitely give that a try; you can get it from the Evil Empire or a well-stocked health-food store (or a good Asian store, if there's one near you; I bought mine in Chinatown). Another option might be kuzu (or kudzu) starch, same sources; this is beloved of Paleo folks, and it's reputed to have some health bennies as well as making for crispitude.
I have a very bad -- as in, several days hanging out in the bathroom -- response when I eat more than a small amount of anything made with wheat flour. I have no idea if it's a sensitivity to gluten or a sensitivity to wheat, but it sure as hell is a sensitivity to SOMETHING and all I know is, many of my symptoms disappear when I stop eating that stuff. So, I don't eat it. Mr. Whatsit, the Father of Gluten Whatever, can kiss my grits -- the ones I eat with my eggs, instead of toast.
Yeah, I would use lentils-cooked-from-dried as well, and straight Dijon (don't like whole-grain mustard, but could eat Dijon with a spoon). And possibly a little cream, because that's the way I roll. But this sounds delicious, and I think I'm gonna make it soon.
Oh man, this sounds...this is going on the agenda, pronto. But I think I will use skin-on thighs, partly because I do love me some crisp skin, and partly because I think they'll look more appetizing.
I wouldn't discard the leftover dough, but man, those leftover HB eggwhites would be in the trashcan in a New York minute.
I don't hate my apartment, but I do hate the lack of any outdoor space. Kenji, if you read this, do you think the Searzall will function like a grill for something like this? I've been trying to get an answer as to whether it will cook (rather than merely putting a sear on something already booked), but so far, no luck. And MAN would I like to make this puppy!
Norma's USED to be great, though they always served ridiculously huge portions. But I remember pulling all-nighters and going there for breakfast and being incredibly happy -- delicious, perfectly cooked eggs, hash browns, great smoothies. I took a visitor there a few years ago, and was so embarrassed; it was awful. The eggs were overcooked, the toast was stale (clearly toasted ahead of time), the smoothie was nauseatingly sweet, and they don't even OFFER has browns any more; the only breakfast potatoes available are like, boiled. Who wants boiled potatoes for breakfast? Horrible.
DYING of the cute! How much do I crave Pixel? I actually want her more than one of those burgers and ears of corn that Kenji is busy frying up. But you can keep the French toast.
Kenji, it's great to hear about Harlem Shake, and I'll be there, I swear. BUT, ONION RINGS, baby! And TOTS! I mean, damn, if I'm going to do the deep-fried thing, I don't want to settle for fries; I want the real deal. Rings and tots. Oh, and avocado and caramelized onions as optional add-ons, plz.
Oops, my apologies for the double post!
I've had a similar dish at EN Japanese Brasserie (and can I give them a shout out? LOVE that restaurant!), and they make the skin crisp, which adds just another layer of delicious. What would you think about either broiling this skin-side up or turning it halfway through? Or maybe even blowtorching the skin after broiling skin-side down?

The blintzes that Russ & Daughters sells are delicious, and remind me of my grandmother's (one of the two things she could cook). Whenever I'm on the LES, I pick up a couple dozen and stick'em in my freezer; they freeze very well.
Oh, I'm so thrilled. It gets so damn irritating, hearing about one great-sounding restaurant after another opening downtown or in Brooklyn. Thank GAWD someone's showing the UWS a little lamby love.
I am a big fan of this site's, and have been for years. But I'm an even bigger fan of language, and it pisses me off to see it shabbily and lazily treated. And the fact that "everyone is doing it" is no excuse, as your mother surely told you: If everyone else in your class jumped off the roof, would you want me to say that you could jump along with them? And on a slightly more serious note, are Billy and meat and monopod honestly trying to fly the flag for stupidity? I may have gotten my knickers in a twist over a minor point of translation, but defending lazy work and sub-par thinking strikes me as a lot less laudable.
"...the split interior is dipped in au jus"
You do know that this is completely illiterate, right? That "au jus" means "with juice [or gravy or the liquid byproduct of cooking meat]," so that what you've just said is that the roll is dipped in with juice?
Please, PLEASE tell me this site does have a copy editor and that she just had to take the day off for the target-shooting finals or something.
How could you leave out the maple creams from Li-Lac, and the ALL OF THE CHOCOLATES from Kee's on Thompson Street? Hmmph. And yet again, Hmmph
How I wish heavy cream were the same thing as double cream, but it ain't. You can stand a spoon in double cream.
There used to be a fabulous bakery on the Upper East Side that made these -- dense fruitcakes covered in homemade marzipan. I adored them, but alas, the bakery has disappeared. Is there ANYONE in New York who bakes a genuine British-style Christmas cake? Yeah, I know I could make my own but A) I left it way too late, and B) the one time I tried it was a disaster.
To everybody who was so generous as to make or donate a pie (or turnovers or mmmmmm empenadas): The Pie Project was a terrific success. In fact, we had so many pies that I am going back tomorrow (the pantry also serves on Fridays) to dish up the leftovers. Many people had seconds, one woman pronounced the pie "absolutely scrumptious," and one gentleman asked me to pass on a particular blessing to the maker of the apple-cranberry with oatmeal topping; he said he hadn't had homemade pie in so long that he had forgotten what made it so good, and he especially wanted to say thank you for reminding him.
So all in all, we did a good thing. My profound thanks to everyone who participated, and to those who wanted to pitch in but found that life got in the way. Happy Turkey Day!
Could you make one extra pie this year? Or maybe a dozen apple turnovers? Every Thursday, the food pantry at Central Synagogue provides a hot meal for 100-120 hungry people, but they don't have the resources to change up their regular menu (beef stew) to include any traditional Thanksgiving foods. It made me sad to think of the pantry's clients being left out of the national feast, so I have volunteered to provide enough pie for all. If you'd like to pitch in to the Pie Project and give a taste of Thanksgiving to some people to don't have much, please contact me at email@example.com.
I have fallen in love with the mozzarella made by the Woodstock Water Buffalo Co. It's delicate and creamy and reminds me of the mozz I was so thrilled to eat in Italy -- about as far from supermarket rubber balls as you can get. The company is shooting for national distribution, but I suspect they're still a Northeast, maybe even a New York, phenom. What fabulous local products have you found for sale in your necks of the woods?

Blur Add Reunion Shows, Including Glastonbury
So yeah, it's worth braving all that mud
By Tom Breihan on February 27, 2009 at 1:40 p.m. EST
Late last year, we reported that Britpop OGs Blur had confirmed that they were reuniting, with guitarist Graham Coxon involved and everything. And after months of speculation, we can now report that the reunited quartet have signed on for their highest-profile gig in years: Alongside Bruce Springsteen, they'll headline England's Glastonbury Festival. "We're doing Glasto this year," frontman Damon Albarn tells NME. "We were asked last year, but we turned them down." Sick.
When Coxon left Blur in 2002, things seemed pretty icy between him and Albarn. But by all accounts, the two are getting along these days. On Wednesday night, the two played an acoustic version of Blur's "This Is a Low" at NME 's Shockwaves Awards, their first time sharing a stage in nine years. Somebody at the show recorded pretty decent footage of the performance, and we Forkcasted it. Has to be said: these guys look right together.
Talking to NME after the show, Albarn said that rehearsals for the band's reunion shows were going well: "We're taking it really easy, to be honest with you. Just doing it once a week and enjoying it- playing every album, every song."
Blur will play their first reunion show at Manchester's MEN Arena on June 26. Glastonbury takes place June 24-28 in Pilton, England. They'll also play two shows at London's Hyde Park on July 2 and 3, headline Scotland's T in the Park festival on July 11, and play Ireland's Oxegen fest that same weekend, July 10-12.
God willing, they'll eventually make it over to the U.S.

Talk about fan favorite, the fans here will be screaming for Rudy when the

as Dante. I am so excited for all of it to begin. We will have a killer bench. I
just hope Jeremy Evans will still be an active part of it and not at the end of
the bench for minutes. Things are lookin' good, folks!

I liked what I saw in Gobert, he can be a big difference maker when he looks to control the paint and the boards. i hope he keeps working on his strength and gets to the point he can be apart of the rotation. I hope Kanter comes back ready to show he can spread the floor and shoot the 3, that will really help , especially in Quin's offense.

I'd like to see Gobert get 5 minutes a quarter at center in the upcoming season. Derrick Favors won't get worn down as much that way. The Jazz were actually a decent team at the 3/4 mark last season...many forget that. Anyway, Favors/Gobert as a center combo may prove a top-3 combo soon. Good summer league, Rudy. Go Jazz.

This location is shown only to members
Kendrick, of South Bay 20s-30s Kareoke group, and I are very proud to announce our first joint Gamba event!
This event will be 3 hours, going from 8 PM to 11 PM on Saturday, November 16th, 2013. Since this is a huge event with lots of geeks, we will be getting the Room 12 at Gamba with the regular room 12 rate.
Gamba Karaoke is room karaoke - you put your songs into the machine, then they go up on the screen. The rooms do not allow alcoholic drinks - we are going to dinner ahead of time at 6:00 (details to be announced soon), and will be meeting to sing at 8:00 pm.
THIS IS IMPORTANT. By RSVPing to this event, you are PROMISING TO PAY your portion of the room rate. PLEASE be consider this when you RSVP. PLEASE ... DO NOT cancel at the last minute. People on the waiting list need a fair amount of time to say "yes" should a spot open up.
I was glad to have an opportunity to sing again. It's been years. Thanks.
1 · November 17, 2013
Hi there! Big important announcements to make! So, you may be aware that there are more than 25 people. What will happen is that there will be 2 rooms for Karaoke, I've already ordered the second room.
The first room will be the 25 people who want to pay the previously agreed to rate for 25 people for three hours. You will get to meet a lot of people and will probably sing 2-3 songs. You will also be forced to put your songs down on flashcards so Julian and I can set up the queue so everyone has an equal amount of time to sing. I looked at the prices, I think everyone will be paying $16 for the whole night.
The second room will be up to 7 people. This is for people who want to sing more and may be uncomfortable packed in to a tight space with other people. They will have to pay the regular room rate of $8.25 per person per hour. The upshot is much more singing for you.

Hey guys! For all of you going who want to see if the songs you want to sing will be available, i found a link from their website to allow for song searching! http://www.karaokechamp.com/son...

We'll be going to dinner at the Elephant Bar at 6:00 PM...if you guys want to join us, that would be awesome. I'd love to be able to get a head count by Thursday so I can tell Elephant Bar how many crazy people they can expect.

noticed it's 20-30's karaoke. Not quite in that category. Also, I've always wanted to do a few things in the style of Nat King Cole. On the geek side, the track from Fallout 3 might be interesting (I don't want to set the world on fire, by the ink spots). Just testing the waters here...

Ottawa firebombing proves security need, Clement says

Share via Email
HUNTSVILLE—The firebombing of an Ottawa bank proves the federal government's wisdom in creating tight security in Muskoka for the coming G8 summit of world leaders, Industry Minister Tony Clement said Friday.
"Early in the process, people were questioning why we needed so much security. Now, no one is questioning it."
Clement, the MP for Parry Sound-Muskoka, was in town to meet six area mayors and business leaders to discuss security and other issues surrounding the June 25-26 summit.
Security will strike a balance between keeping the townspeople secure and having the town open, he said.
Asked about the designated demonstration area, Clement said, "We believe that people have the right to peaceful demonstration. . . . We want it done peacefully and safely."
The G8 and G20 summit that follows in Toronto has spawned $300 million in economic spinoffs, Clement said.
A town-hall meeting June 6 will address last-minute planning issues, including whether local businesses hurt by the security cordon will be compensated.
Main St. business profits are up 50 per cent so far this season thanks to tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure money poured into the community, said Huntsville Mayor Claude Doughty.
"It has everything to do with the G8," he said. "This town is buzzing."

Here is the daily hiring and getting hired tip: When it is time to find a new job start early and get help. You are most marketable when you are already working. So always be seeking your next dream job. How can you do that, while you are already working full time? Get signed up with a recruitment firm in your field. Make sure they have experience in your industry. Good firms do not charge workers for placement in positions, and will know about job opportunities that aren't even advertised. When you give your information to a recruitment firm they keep it confidential until there is a serious intention to take a job, even from potential employers. You can work at trying to be as successful as possible in your current job, and have a team of professionals marketing your skills to other employers.Read post

Every business needs customers, right? Keeping customers loyal to your business and ensuring they come back to you for future purchases involves a retention marketing strategy. Although this type of strategy is incredibly important and needed for a successful business, today we are going to focus on developing a conquest marketing strategy. Now I know what you're thinking, "You tell us all the time - it costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one." This is a very true statement; however, there comes a time for every business when you have to look outside of your current database and acquire new business to grow your current customer pool and increase revenue. What if I told you that acquiring new business doesn't have to be so costly? In fact, dealers who use OneCommand's conquest email solution have seen a $15 return on investment for every one dollar spent. Today I'll share a cost effective conquest marketing strategy that brings addition...Read post
Here is the daily hiring and getting hired tip: Want to impress top candidates in your community, start with your employment page on your own website. Always be hiring! Take the time to detail the benefits of working at your store like income, work environment, flexible schedule. Highlight some key employees with tenure, and give descriptions of each of the positions in your store. Even if you are not actively looking at the moment give the community the ability to pursue a position.Read post
News broke recently about 5 dealership employees that were arrested and face federal charges of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity-theft. This brings the total to 7 employees at the same dealership who have been indicted so far this year. Not very pretty. Now you may be thinking that these folks must have engaged in really outrageous behavior to get arrested, especially by the feds. You're likely also thinking that this could never happen to you – and you may be right. But before you ignore this as something that only happens to people in other dealerships, you might want to read on. For a number of reasons I'll get into shortly, my take on this latest government action is that there's a profound change occurring in the car business legal environment – not only for dealers, but for everyone who plies their trade selling cars. I know, I know - you've heard this all before – but please stay with me for a little bit. It's no secret that fo...Read post
Regardless of how hard you work to ensure that your customers have an excellent experience, mistakes happen. No doubt you've had customers complain about something – it took too long for their vehicle to be serviced, there was a miscommunication in pricing during the sale, or a general failure to deliver on promises (big or small). Whether the complaint is relayed to the frontline employee, or the customer felt the need to go directly to management, apologies are usually made. The problem is that, at times, your customer feels that they have received an empty apology and can recognize this type of apology a mile away. These "nonpologies" don't accomplish anything more than relaying indifference to the customer. Examples of nonpologies are: "We made a mistake." "We apologize for it taking so long." "I'm sorry you're unhappy." The reason these apologies have no weight in the customer's eyes is because there is no acknowledgement...Read post
In a very short 6 years, the iPhone and Android mobile platforms have come to represent over 90% of the smartphone market. In both design and operation, the iPhone has lead to a wildfire of smartphone adoption. While the open-platform Android has provided smartphone access to the masses by providing cost effective devices. So what does all of this mean for you? Let's first take a look at mobile websites. Many dealerships consider a mobile website a helpful tool to help drive traffic into their store. However, here's a look at why mobile websites simply aren't enough to keep up and could actually be driving traffic away: 1) A "mobile website" is a condensed version of a "full" website – a website built to be viewed on a computer screen – not a mobile screen. A mobile website wasn't built to integrate with the underlying technology that drives mobile apps and does not take full advantage of unique smartphone capabilities like push notifications, GPS, o...Read post

This is way off the best hosted restaurant on the island.
Frédéric Alidor and his team is just incredible! Such a friendly service with a lovely ambiance, exceptional quality of food and a very good price-quality effect.
A peace to cut off for a lot of restaurateurs and hoteliers!
Great, friendly service, beautiful food with great variety, reasonably priced and modern decor with fantastic ambiance. Once we found Luna, we didn't eat anywhere else for the rest of our stay at Thong Nai Pan Noi. Definitely recommended.
Thank you so much for amazing food, excellent service also opportunity to talk to the owner of the restaurant.
Barbecue local Snapper and the Prawn cognac creamy sauce, the best!.
The Cappuccino was awesome to!.
We luv Ko Phangan
(+) The food was good, The place looks nice.
(-) The portions are not big.
Didn't get a friendly service at all!! You get much friendlier waiters at every local dinner.
I dont mind pets.. But didn't expect at this kind of restaurant a huge cat sitting next to us on one of the chairs at the table, which at...
If someone had told me that the best burger I will eat, will be found in Thailand, I probably would have laughed. But that exactly what happened.
As we arrived to Koh Phangan, we went directly to Luna Lounge. We discovered a wonderful restaurant, with a dedicated and caring staff, great food, definitely affordable and with THE BEST BURGER EVER!!!!!!!...
Sadly, not what we rememberd from last year.
3 starter tapas were dull and not really tasty, fish for main was dry and the whole meal felt a bit sad.
Our waiter didn't smile once and felt like he only wanted us to finish our meal and leave.
The only good thing was the Creme Brulee for desert which was...
family run and very friendly dinner with good food. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we sat down. The food was good as would be expected, although the menu was a touch smaller than other places. The owner went around the tables speaking to all the clients making for a great little touch.
I love Asian food in general and Thai food specifically. Ive beensearching for a restaurant that would take the frsh produce and good flavors and give thema chefs twist and sophistication
At last we found Luna, chic and romantic
We came to eat two nights in a row, the food was so good
A combination of great local ingredients and...
I took my fiance last night to the local village next to our hotel (santhiya) when we came across Luna on our way. I'm really glad that we decided to eat there. The food was excellent and the service was efficient and caring. We are definitely coming back for more.
We are in Koh Phangan for 4 days with our 3 girls. Amazing place. Last night we ate at our super hotel Anantara but our girls are not crazy about Thai food. We read that at Luna the food is western with a Thai twist. We had the Tapas which were very nice, the pizza is good, the fish dishes...

I think Nvidia has finally run out of Watch Dogs licenses to give out with GeForce graphics cards—but that's okay, because the company has just announced another bundle with a fresh new game.
The game is so new, in fact, that it's not out yet. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel doesn't unlock until October 14, but as of today, you can get a key for it with the purchase of a GeForce GTX 770, 780, 780 Ti, or Titan Black graphics card from a participating vendor. According to the official promo page, participating vendors include:
As always, the offer is available only for a "limited time." Since the deal covers only high-end, relatively low-volume GPUs, the supply of game keys may not run out too quickly. But then again, there's no telling how many keys are up for grabs to begin with.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is currently in development at 2K Australia, with help from Gearbox. The game will be set between the first two Borderlands titles. In it, players will travel to Pandora's moon, and they'll apparently get front-row seats to Handsome Jack's transformation into the main villain from Borderlands 2. Nvidia says GeForce owners will be able to enjoy PhysX eye candy in the game, too. (Thanks to TR reader SH SOTN for the link.)
This discussion is now closed.
|Samsung asks ITC to block Nvidia GPU shipments
|The TR Podcast 166 is now available on YouTube
|Chromebooks now come with 1TB of cloud storage for two years

|Intel's 2015 revenue outlook beats Street expectations

Tops in tags: Noah, Sophia are favorite baby names
When it comes to baby names, blending in is out, and standing out is in.

When it comes to baby names, blending in is out, and standing out is in.
Noah and Sophia top the Social Security Administration's list of most popular American baby names for 2013, but they don't begin to approach the popularity of past generation favorites like John and Mary.
Noah sailed past Jacob to claim the top spot for boys, ending Jacob's 14-year reign. Sophia was No. 1 for the third straight year in the list released Friday.
Noah was followed by Liam, Jacob, Mason and William. Sophia was followed by Emma, Olivia, Isabella and Ava.
But none of these names is nearly as popular as the top names were a generation ago. Why? Because more and more parents are looking to give their children names that will set them apart, instead of worrying about whether they will fit in.
"Names have more widely become seen as a personal brand, a statement of individual style and personality, and so people are looking for a name that's different from what other people have," said Pamela Redmond Satran, co-founder of Nameberry.com. "In the 1950s, everybody was looking to blend in."
Last year, a little more than 18,000 newborns were named Noah. Twenty years ago, almost 50,000 newborns were named Michael, the top name that year. In 1950, when James was No. 1, there were more than 86,000 newborns with that name.
It's the same story for the girls.
About 21,000 newborns were named Sophia last year. Twenty years ago, 35,000 babies were named Jessica. In 1950, more than 80,000 were named Linda, the top name for girls that year.
"In the past, most parents were picking from a pretty well-defined set of names," said Laura Wattenberg, creator of Babynamewizard.com. "Literally for hundreds of years, the English royal names dominated. You had John and Mary and James and Elizabeth."
"Today," she said, "we get names everywhere."
Jacob first rose to No. 1 in 1999. In the 45 years before that, Michael was king for all but one.
There has been more variety among the girls. Mary dominated the first half of the 20th century. But in the past two decades, Emily, Emma, Isabella and Jessica have all spent time at the top.
"People are not as creative with boys' names," said Jennifer Moss, founder of Babynames.com. "I find that when I'm working with parents, the father tends to be more conservative about boys names. His No. 1 concern is always, 'Oh, I don't want it to be too crazy or he'll be teased on the playground.'"
The Social Security Administration's website provides lists of the top 1,000 baby names for each year, dating to 1880. The top baby names that year were John and Mary. John is now No. 27 and Mary has fallen to No. 121.
Social Security also charts the fastest-rising names each year. These names may not be in the top 10 or even the top 100, but they moved up more spots than any other.
For girls, the runaway winner was Daleyza, which jumped a whopping 3,130 spots, to No. 585. Daleyza is the name of the young daughter of Larry Hernandez, a singer who stars in a Spanish-language reality TV show called "Larrymania."
"Reality TV is one of the biggest style makers today because it gives us a constant new stream of names from all over the place," Wattenberg said.
Among the other top risers for girls: Marjorie, Lennon and Jurnee. Jurnee Smollett-Bell is an actress who starred in the TV show "Friday Night Lights."
For boys, the fastest rising name was Jayceon, which jumped 845 spots, to No. 206. Two hip hop artists are named Jayceon. One simply goes by the name Jayceon. The other, Jayceon Terrell Taylor, is a rapper who goes by the stage name The Game.
Among the other top risers for boys: Milan, Atlas, Jayse and Duke.
