Partial Transcript of the interview from Iron Times.
What's the story behind that name, WYROC?
My father was a cement salesman. One of his clients was Wiley Brothers Transit Mix. One of the brothers passed away, and the other brother wanted to sell. So my dad bought the company and went out of the cement business and went into the ready-mix concrete business. He shortened the name to Wiley Transit Mix, and then found that he'd have more opportunities and better market if he got out of the ready-mix business and focused just on supplying rock and gravel, and shortened the name to Wiley Rock, and eventually shortened that to WYROC. He kept the goodwill from Wiley over all the years, plus it was kind of a tradition back then that a lot of the competitors and rock suppliers had some kind of abbreviated word and then "rock." As the company changed, we differentiated because we took the K off it. So we're now W-Y-R-O-C.
WYROC is one of the few aggregate companies that works with recycled materials rather than virgin rock. How did you get into recycled rock?
We transitioned into that over the years. I think we were one of the first in Southern California. The last time they did a measure, we were number three in the nation in recycling. To put a little bit of a scope to it, if you look at curbside recycling, we would recycle, back in the day, probably twice the amount that they would do to curbside recycling from North LA to the border of Mexico and on the west, to the Pacific and to the East, the border of California. As a result, we have significantly diverted material from the landfill into a building product.
The past few years have been difficult for the construction industry. What have you learned during the down economy and how have you adapted?
We've had to change on several levels. First, geographically, there are areas that we serviced that are just completely dead. So, we have closed those operations. We no longer supply to them, because they don't have a need. What we're also doing is expanding our offering. Our offering before, and continues to be, a bulk product sold in the big 18-wheel trucks you see on the road. We're also looking at different ways to package it in polybags or what they call super sacks, which are one-ton sacks they can put in the back of a pickup truck. What that does is it gives the consumer access to a recycled green product that they never had before. So that is a new niche.
Your company maintains eight core values. Can you sum up the values of WYROC?
The overlying thing is, we want to be known as passionately innovative. I think that's been our tradition. Being the first one to recycle and now moving into a new consumer market. Everything with our values not only supports that, but also insists on a civility between each other and our customers. That is a core thing – be responsive and react appropriately, and solve their problems.
Any Signs of Improvement in the Economy?
My expectations are for not much of an improvement in the bulk market. That's probably going to remain slow for some time. We're seeing some matching by the government with different measures and programs. Those probably will not trickle down – at least in any immediate way – to the consumer and the homebuilder. That will put public employees to work, but it isn't going to affect the private industry probably that much.
Do you have any advice for someone who is running their own business during in this economy?
The thing that I've taken out of going through this change in this economy is I define myself pretty narrowly as kind of a quirky industry. You know – Fred Flintstone. Every time you talk about it, people just shake their head. You start getting a mindset that maybe you're not special, but you're unique, and your problems are unique. What I've discovered through networking and discussions is there are core problems that exist across all industries. They're just flavored a little bit different. There are solutions that you can reach to. You just have to tweak it a little bit to make it on point for yourself. So, don't think you're so special that you can't pick up a good business book and get principles out of it that you can apply.
If you could meet someone who's living or dead; who would it be?
Joshua Chamberlain. He was a Colonel at Gettysburg. He was in charge of holding one of the flanks. He was from Maine. He was basically given the charge, "You hold this line. If you don't, we will lose." He had 200 men to start with. He was down to 80 and no ammunition. The Confederates were re-mounting for a charge, and he told his men, "Fix bayonets – charge!" with no ammo. They couldn't believe the order, but they did it. When the Confederates saw that, they surrendered, and he saved the day.

Star style: Gwyneth Paltrow has legs (and heels) on parade two days in a row
It is a fashion formula that appears to be working a treat for Gwyneth Paltrow this week as she continues the promo tour for her latest film Iron Man. For the past two days the newly chopped actress has been baring those long legs of hers, sticking to a signature style of short dresses and very, very high heels.
While in Berlin on Tuesday, Paltrow opted for a cream combo from her pal Stella McCartney's spring 08 range, followed later that night by a short spangly number by Sonia Rykiel and Christian Louboutin stilettos.
Next stop - Rome, where the 35-year-old towered in a black mini bandage dress from Preen's spring '07 range and gigantic lace heels.
Earlier this week she caused a shoe riot when she was snapped needing help from her bodyguard to tackle steps in a pair of 7 inch (!) patent platforms by little known designer, Paccini.
I guess if you've got it, you might as well flaunt it!

I used the Innocent wig in Bubbly as the base for my wig of Shinku from Rozen Maiden. Since it's already in pigtails and has bangs, it saved me those steps. I ended up cutting off the cute ringlet pigtails and adding extensions for the uber long pigtails Shinku has. The big curls in front
are also extra pieces of hair. Styling tip: They were coated in hair glue and curled around styrofoam cones because they were too heavy for hairspray! It's a very heavy wig, but received many compliments.

SMS texting is a thing of the past, and telecom company KPN employees are paying the price. The justice minister wants cut-price police, but his own law-and-order party think his idea is "ridiculous". Two Orthodox Protestant MPs are enough to stop the Dutch shopping on Sundays. Rejected asylum seekers survive a tough detention regime by guzzling anti-depressants. And sniffer dogs get the sack because their handlers have been fiddling the evidence.
Chat apps pack Dutch jobs off to India
SMS texting? So passé. And if you're still actually using your mobile phone to call people, you're pretty old-school. That's the tech fashion message all over this morning's Dutch press. Because new-style mobile communication is costing 5000 employees at telecom company KPN their jobs.
In its glory days KPN was a state-owned monopoly. If you wanted to make a phone call, it was your only option. But those days are long over. Now the company's being forced sack a quarter of its staff in the latest of many rounds of redundancies.
The company's problem, the dailies enjoy pointing out, is that nowadays everyone's using their smart phones to chat for nothing with apps like WhatsApp or – king among teenagers – Blackberry's PingChat. Or they email or Facebook each other. And if they do actually want to talk, they'll do it free of charge using a VoIP service.
As a result, the grand old lady of Dutch telecommunications is losing a fortune. So the company is struggling to catch up with the times – gearing its mobile subscriptions towards internet and 'offshoring' it's workers to India.
Minister booed for cut-price-police plan
The justice minister wants to save 30 million euros by replacing 10,000 police with 'supervisors' – downgraded officers with less training and fewer powers. It's a prime front page story for popular dailies AD and De Telegraaf.
The minister's plan has been promptly "booed off" by his own party, the conservative VVD, De Telegraaf reports. "Ridiculous," AD quotes one VVD MP. "Law and order is this cabinet's priority number one. We're not going to create a 'police light'". And Geert Wilders' Freedom Party, the coalition's partner in parliament, also slammed the idea. "A bad plan," said Mr Wilders, with uncharacteristic understatement.
In fact, the story is squashed to one side on De Telegraaf's front page by a reprise of a crime blockbuster. Underworld boss Stanley Hillis was shot while police observers looked on. They didn't catch the hit men, but apparently they did manage to get the whole murder on video. Surely a job that 'supervisors' could have done just as well?
Tiny Christian party blocks Sunday shopping
A government plan to extend Sunday shopping is to be scrapped because the Orthodox Protestant SGP party is against it, AD reports. The Christian party holds just two seats in the 150-seat parliament.
Dutch shops are only allowed to open on the Sabbath on a limited number of Sundays a year. The prime minister's free-market VVD wants to lift the restrictions. And Geert Wilders' Freedom Party, on which the government relies for support in Parliament, is all in favour of Sunday shopping.
But the Freedom Party has agreed to vote against a law change to please the tiny SGP, AD explains. Because the government looks set to end up a couple of seats short of a majority in the Upper House, it's going to need the SGP's support. The Sunday shopping deal is a way to keep the SGP sweet.
So even though the vast majority of MPs think people should be allowed to go shopping whenever they like, it's not going to happen. Such is Dutch democracy.
"Slow death" for rejected asylum seekers
A man stands on a roof, a wire noose around his neck, the other end of the wire tied to a chimney. It's a photo in de Volkskrant of a protesting asylum seeker at a detention centre in Australia, where rioting has broken out.
NRC Handelsblad has a more subtly chilling photo – a pile of ashes on Amsterdam's Dam Square, on the spot where an Iranian asylum seeker set himself on fire earlier this month.
The NRC reporter visited rejected Iranian asylum seeker Fariborz Panahi in the Kamp Zeist detention centre. "For illegal aliens the regime is tougher than for criminals," says nrc.next. Inmates are only allowed a one-hour visit a week, and an hour's exercise a day. Anti-depressants are "handed out like sweets".
Panahi knew the man who committed suicide on the Dam. Return to Iran simply wasn't an option for him, he says. It would have meant certain arrest and execution. "In Iran they kill you straight away," Panahi tells the paper. "This is a slow death."
Dog detectives sacked
More redundancies – this time it's sniffer dogs. From now on, the "scent test" will no longer be admissible as evidence in court. It's de Volkskrant's front page story.
In the test, dogs would sniff a murder weapon, for example, then pick out a corresponding scent from an identity parade. But based on sniffer dog evidence, a man was wrongly convicted in the 'Deventer murder' in 2003.
An investigation found that dog handlers have been influencing the results. None of them are going to be prosecuted because it's too hard to prove. But the statistics are unquestionable – somehow they've been fiddling the evidence. And the dogs are out of a job.

Connection to Space Science
Suited for the Job
If you were designing a space suit, what types of materials would you use? Apollo space suits used on the Moon needed to be designed to hold up against the extreme lunar environment, and flexible enough for astronauts to move around easily. Scientists designing the space suit needed to use unique materials that would keep the astronaut both safe and comfortable.
Check out the x-ray image of an Apollo era space suit. Can you see where scientists used the bellow-shaped, rubber joints at the shoulder and elbows? Why would scientists want to use rubber, a special polymer, in a spacesuit?
To learn more about Apollo era space suits, visit our Shoot for the Moon exhibition where you'll see a helmet and gloves designed for the Apollo 13 mission.

We applaud a celeb who goes against the usual blondifying groove by going brunette. But this hair with this complexion and this hello-lip-liner makeup — are we the only ones who think Britney Spears is looking a little "Real Housewife of…"?
Maybe it's the weird tan or whatever. Without it, we think Britney's hair would look more brunette than "just brown."
Thanks for showing us the difference, Brit.
Update: Found an image of Natalie Portman, who seems to have a similar shade of brunette (a bit more golden brown) and less oompa-loompa skin. Thoughts?

Lexus LF-A Concept
The Lexus supercar, version 2
By January 11, 2007 / Photos by Marc Urbano
We've known for a couple of years that Lexus was working on a super sports car, one that would possess Ferrari-like performance and celebrate Toyota's involvement in Formula 1...but we didn't know that it was going to look like this. Unlike the model that made its debut at the North American International Auto Show two years ago, the latest version of the exotic LF-A Concept is definitely a head-turner. And judging by its stunning appearance at this year's Detroit show, the car is virtually production-ready.
The LF-A's front end has been thoroughly reworked, now sporting a face that's far from beautiful, but strong and aggressive, a testament to its performance character. The rear end has stayed relatively unchanged, highlighted by slim taillights at the corners, draped by large square mesh openings. The car's dimensions are 175.6 in., 74.6 and 48.0; overall length, width and height. Wheelbase is 102.3 in. Of note are the massive tires, 265/30R-20s up front and 305/30R-20s at the rear.
Our first impression of the car's cockpit? The clean and attractive interior layout is a study in form following function, luxury blending with sport. High-grade leather is virtually everywhere, with the dashboard and center console presented in a straightforward yet elegant manner. The leather/carbon-fiber-trimmed steering wheel and racing-style bucket seats tell you that this is a driver's car. There are two pedals on the floor, suggesting that the Lexus supercar will be equipped with a manual-based automatic transmission, perhaps a double-clutch type like Audi's DSG.
As for the engine, we hear that Toyota engineers have been considering a 5.0- liter V-10 that will produce around 550 bhp. There are reports, however, that they are currently testing a 4.8-liter version that may also make its way into the GS sedan, giving Lexus a rival for the BMW M5. Logic dictates that if the company is going to produce two V-10-powered cars, they should share the same block. Chances are that the LF-A's engine will be bored to 5.0 liters (or maybe more). This engine is not to be confused with the 5.0-liter V-8 that will be going into the IS-F.
The launch date of the future Lexus is sometime in 2009, which Toyota hopes will coincide with the company's first Grand Prix victory (although some predict that its first win will come sooner). A Toyota source who wished to remain anonymous said: "Because there are probably two more years until the car makes its debut, the styling of this car may change yet again. We at Toyota believe that it's paramount that everything is right with this car. There's no room for failure."
The name of the car? Our sources in Japan have referred to it as the GT 500, but with the hotted-up version of the Ford Mustang already claiming that designation here in the States, it'll likely go by something else. Insiders say that the letter "F" will be part of the final moniker (as evidenced on the front fender of this show car). Lexus has used this letter to internally designate all its products, and has recently announced F will be part of the official name for all of the company's high-performance cars. Look for something like GT-F or F 500 when the final version comes out.
With constant testing and development of the car much of it at the famed Nürburgring Toyota is spending boatloads of cash in an attempt to make this the world's best sports/GT car. This, in turn, will have an effect on the final price, which we hear may be as much as $175,000. But judging by what we've learned so far, it should be worth every penny.

Neighborhood Highlights
Must-See Upper West Side

Culture and History
The whole Upper West Side is teeming with culture and history, but a few institutions take their subjects far beyond the neighborhood's boundaries. The halls of the American Museum of Natural History provide a trip through the past. The dinosaur wing and the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life are two of the museum's best-known exhibitions, but they're just the beginning. Across 77th Street, at The New-York Historical Society, visitors explore 400 years of history through exhibitions about the people and artifacts that helped shape the City. Changing topics might include board games or local beer; Hudson River School paintings and Tiffany lamps highlight the permanent collection. The museum also houses the DiMenna Children's History Museum, where little ones can engage with interactive exhibitions and check out games and a library. And close to Lincoln Center, the (free) American Folk Art Museum serves as a celebration of nonmainstream American art from the 18th century to today. The museum is also a place to see no-cost entertainment, with live music during "guitar afternoons" every Wednesday and in the evening on "Free Music Fridays."

Rookie Blog: CB Jayron HosleyPosted by on December 7, 2012 – 2:15 pm
Cornerback Jayron Hosley was drafted by the New York Giants in the third round this past April. Throughout the season, the Virginia Tech product and Florida native provides an inside look into his journey of making it in the NFL. This week's post begins with the Giants coming off their 17-16 loss to the Redskins before the defending champs host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
I thought we came out and played decently against Washington, but I mean we all can do better. I thought we held them sometimes when we needed to, but sometimes they made plays. With their quarterback and offense they have, it's a tough scheme to kind of contain. But that was last week. We know we could say, "We would have, could have, should have done this" but our idea is we're still in the lead in the division and we need to keep it that way. We just have to focus on this week and bring that focus level back to where we had in the previous week and just work toward getting a win Sunday.
This week the Saints bring in a veteran, experienced quarterback to our stadium who knows the system well and has been in the system a while now. He has good receivers – a lot of them — that you respect and can make plays. They're good in the red zone, and we're just going to have to play disciplined ball and just go out there and play our game for the most part.
It's going to take all 11 of us on defense to slow down all their weapons. They have a lot of different things that they put in for their particular offense and what they like to do. Also,their run game, they have three good backs back there that can do a lot with the ball. We're preparing ourselves and coach is putting us in the right position so that we can make plays, contain the run game and also the pass game. It works well both ways. Coaches put us in good position, and as a player, you just have to go out there and make plays and do what we do.
This is now the latest in the year I've played football aside from bowl games. The college season would have wrapped up by now. As a rookie, it's a bit of a difference. It's something you're not used to, but honestly, I don't even think about it anymore. College football is over for me. I don't even get caught up in that or try to think about it or let my mind get caught up in any of that. I'm still trying to keep pushing. We have four games left in the season. You have to take it a week at a time, literally, because it can start weighing on you. All it takes is one moment and you'll be like, "Wow." It's tough, but you just have to focus in and take care of your body and get the rest when you can. That's what I try to do so I'm ready every Sunday.

'Superheroes' save cat from fire
Updated On: Sep 09 2013 10:14:55 AM EDT
Holy heroics, Batman!
Two men in superhero costumes -- including one dressed as the Caped Crusader himself -- beat firefighters to the scene of a blaze in West Virginia and rescued a cat from a burning home, Charleston TV station WCHS reported.
Batman and Captain America, also known as John Buckland and Troy Marcum, were talking with a group of children at an American Legion in Milton on Saturday when they saw smoke and sprang into action.
The homeowners were gone, but the pair shattered a glass window and found the unconscious cat inside.
Buckland, an Iraq veteran who also used to be a firefighter, used his prior training to resuscitate the animal.
"The cat comes around, takes a look at me, then hissed," Buckland told WCHS.

Flu season is officially under way and some Kentucky schools are being hit by the bug.
Two Lexington school districts have canceled classes for the time being, but how are area schools coping?
"We're missing about thirty one kids today, so we're right at ninety percent. Normally, we'd be at about ninety sixty six percent or so," explains principal of Dishman-McGinnis Elementary Michael Wix.
Indeed, it's a low attendance day at Dishman-McGinnis.
In addition to the usual lessons being taught, the school's supporting a message, that preventing the flu is easy.
"When kids go through the lunch line, there's a hand sanitizer right there and they can use it before they get their lunch," says Wix.
But even while taking precautions, sickness sometimes happens, though it takes a trend of sicknesses all over a district before a school will be cancelled.
"It's never just a school decision. It's a district decision," Wix adds. "Numbers have to be a certain level across the district before that's even considered."
"Sometimes, we have one or two schools that have low attendance, but district wide, we're not really that low," says Jon Lawson of Bowling Green Independent schools.
Bowling Green City and Warren County schools are not considering the cancelation of class for now.
But the Barren River District Health Department says, parents still need to be on the alert for warning signs of the flu.
"Fever, usually high fever, sometimes chills, headache, muscle ache," lists Rebecca Tyree of the Barren River Health Department. "Sometimes you have a runny nose or a cough."
And according to some area nurses, the best way to prevent those symptoms is a trip to a health department.
"Right now, we have ample flu vaccination available and it's not too late," says Tyree. "We have them at all eight of our county health departments and it's ten dollars for the shot."
Tyree adds that it takes two weeks for the flu vaccine to take effect.

Out of hours press enquiries, call 07918 083 774.
Posted 17 October 2002
Animal Aid is launching the first major national survey of vegetarian parents for Veggie Month 2003.
The results will be published in March to establish:
- Whether veggie parents are bringing their kids up veggie and why
- Whether veggie parents receive appropriate advice from professionals
- Whether veggie parents or children are pressurised by relatives, friends or colleagues to include meat in their diet
Veggie Month is Animal Aid's annual initiative to promote the benefits of being vegetarian. It is supported by schools, health food shops, libraries, health centres and restaurants across the UK. The 2002 campaign also included a major survey, which revealed that more than 25% of veggie kids are not catered for properly in schools. This has resulted in an important clarification of government guidelines. Pop idol judge Simon Cowell and children's TV presenter Kirsten O'Brien lent their support to Veggie Month by taking the Veggie Pledge and going veggie for a week.
Says Animal Aid campaigner Becky Smith:
"Veggie Month 2003 will be all about the experiences of British vegetarians who have children. Some vegetarians regard their diet as purely a personal choice, whilst others are appalled at the thought of their children eating meat. We want to hear what parents think!"
The Vegetarian Parents' Questionnaire contains a few simple questions and can be filled in by anyone who is vegetarian and a parent. Readers who wish to participate should write to Animal Aid, The Old Chapel, Bradford St, Tonbridge TN9 1AW, call 01732 354 032, or fill in the online form on our website, www.animalaid.co.uk

I don't know why fashion keeps on happening. They already perfected it in the 1920's, so just stick with what works. The Girls 20's Flapper Wig in Brown is indicative of that day in the sun we all shared as a nation before the soul-crushing experience that was the 1930's. No matter which Fitzgerald is your favorite, we can all agree that the flapper is a good look.
The Girls 20's Flapper Wig in Brown shows off the style of one of the best looking decades of all time. It's a shame Gatsby isn't around to enjoy Halloween any more.

There are so many threats in Iraq that it's hard to know where to start: foreign jihadists, Shiite radicals, Baath party loyalists, and garden-variety criminals, to name a few. Add one unexpected threat to that list: private security providers. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has warned that the lack of criminal-background data on prospective private security personnel puts U.S. military forces and Iraqi civilians at risk. The threat is mainly from Iraqi and third-country personnel, testified William Solis, GAO's director of defense capabilities and management, before the House Committee on Government Reform's Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats, and International Relations. @ The testimony is at SM Online.

Cable on Campus
Connections for cable television access (CATV) are available in the campus residence hall rooms and in many Keene State academic settings. CATV provides on campus students with a way to watch their favorite television programs, and it is a vital component for many local access programs produced by students and aired for the greater Keene community.Get Connected
Residence hall rooms are each equipped with one cable TV connection. Students living in the residence halls must share a TV with their roommates. Bring a cable ready TV and a coaxial cable in order to connect to the cable service in the rooms.Need More Help?
Cable Television Service
The cable connections are managed by the IT Group. The College has a service agreement with Time Warner Cable for a limited number of cable channels, which helps to keep the cost of the service affordable for the campus community. The campus channel line up is the same as Time Warner's standard service from channel 2 to channel 62. Channels 63 to 78 are local access programming.
Cable television service is designed for the use of a single electronics connection to the KSC faceplate. A single connection means students can connect using the following configuration: ONE television with ONE VCR/DVD attached (inline). Splitting the initial connection to run more than one device within the room can result in reception problems. Splitting the connection is also a violation of the College's contract with Time Warner and could jeopardize the cable contract.Campus Movie Channel
The Residential Life Office (RLO) operates four campus movie channels, and the movie line-up is listed by semester on the RLO site. Every semester the Office asks students to vote for which movies they would like to see; so be sure to visit the site and cast your vote!
Please also talk with the RLO staff with any suggestions, comments, or concerns you might have about the campus cable service.Liability
The College is not liable for interruptions or failures of the cable television service.

Now that is an epic brewery video. Being a Trappist brewery, they can get away with that, but could you imagine some American brewery making a video with that tone? It would be hilarious.
True. And, if this video were more well-known, it would make an excellent template for a parody video. (Which I'd love to see.)

gadgets for roasting chicken
- KansasKate Dec 6, 2010 02:14 PM
Laura Calder's butter roasted chicken looks great -- she cooks it in a cast iron skillet in the oven, with the veggies in a roasting pan -- but it involves a lot of turning the chicken this way and that way every 15 mins while it cooks. There has to be a better way.
Any of you have any experience with these cone-shaped chicken roasters?

So use a bottle.
re: chuckl
You can put your can on a hot grill or over the stove with the hood turned up and burn off any coatings on that can before use. I'm not a big advocate of beer can chicken but I've used a can for cold smoking and before I use it there are no coatings left on that can.

I agree. As long as you can stand it up in a roasting pan (sorry, I read a few posts this morning in whch hapless new cooks just put the meat on the oven racks with no pans, and started fires), it will work nearly as well as indirect heat on a covered outdoor grill. No moving.
V-rack works really well too, for any size bird.
I have a generic version of the Staub roaster that I purchased from QVC after hearing my mother rave about it. It is made of the same enameled cast iron, and any differences in the quality probably do not materially affect my experience with it. It is essentially a cone-shaped roaster that allows you to prop the bird up, breast end up, and it has a dish at the bottom to catch juices, etc.
After having become a fan of beer can chicken, in which I prop up a chicken or two on top of an open beer can and cook, covered over indirect heat, on my gas grill, I was dying to try something that would work indoors for when it is just not nice enough to cook outdoors. I thought the enameled cast iron thing would be ideal.
I am actually disappointed in the results. For one thing, when compared to cooking on a grill with the heat source underneath (even though it is indirect), the legs and thighs just don't cook enough. The skin remains rubbery, and I suspect it is because the bottom of the bird, which is near and below the dish level of the pan, is actually steaming versus roasting. This happens more when you try to put some veggies in the bottom. Any carrots or pototoes or other aromatics just seemed to increase this problem, so I tried it a few times without anything in the pan. The breast and wings come out great, but the dark meat really needs to cook more. Frankly, if I could figure out how to get the bird on the roaster upside down, it might do the trick, but I haven't had enough winter days to attempt to try it just yet.
If I had to do it over, I would probably go for one of the wire contraptions and try it on a quarter sheet pan. That might crisp up the skin better.
re: RGC1982
Question: Does the "steaming" effect actually retard the cooking of the dark meat, or only result in rubbery skin? Because my daughter who cooks in a small apartment with minimal ventilation, puts water in the bottom of her roasting pan (chicken on a V-rack that I bought her) to minimize smoking. She (and I) are on low-fat diets which means the skin is discarded anyway, so rubberiness isn't a factor. Neither of us has noticed a discrepancy betweeen doneness of dark vs breast/wing meat.
We both use the "turning" method of cooking though: The chicken is start off on its side in the V-rack for the first 20 mins, then turned to sit on the other side for another 20 mins, then finally positioned breast-up for the remaineder of the roasting time. I read this in Cooks Illustrated some years ago and have been doing it that way ever since. So perhaps the side-up cooking time offsets the steam effect? The CI article did not mention water in the pan though (that was born of the desire to keep my daughter's apartment from smelling like chicken for the next several days,LOL!)
re: dessert_diva
Joy of Cooking recommends the turning method as well, and it's the best way I know to end up with a gorgeously brown chicken every time. I've never had any issue whatsoever with it being rubbery, and the skin is always crispy (just ask DS who would eat an entire plate of just the skin if he thought I'd let him...he's slender, though, so the calories and fat are no issue for a growing adolescent boy!)
I, too, use water in the roasting pan...but only enough to keep the fat from smoking...at the end of the first 20 minutes (the first side), I add chopped vegetables (leeks, potatoes, carrots, parsnips...whatever's on hand) and let those roast in the drippings (which are NOT all fat, by the way) -- delicious, keeps the bird from smoking, and eliminates one more pan. Just put the veggies under the v-rack.
It's best to toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, however, or they tend to burn, rather than roast. (there's not much fat that comes off of the chicken -- not enough to keep the veg from burning)
re: dessert_diva
IMO, I think that it retards the cooking of the dark meat, as well as results in rubbery skin. The shame of it, of course, is that the dark meat (which is my favorite, BTW) has to cook to a slightly higher temperature than the white meat for it to be what I consider "perfect". I think that the skin not crisping is more of an esthetic issue, but the slightly underdone dark meat is a turn-off to me. I found myself wrapping the top of the bird (breasts and wings) with foil to finish cooking, but the skin was still not crisp if it was near the attached bottom dish or, worse, lower than the rim of the attached dish. Forget about carrots, onions and potatoes, and such -- that just made it worse.
It seems to me that there are two solutions, and I need the opportunity to try them out. One is to, somehow, get the bird onto the cone upside down, with its legs in the air. That might work to cook the different parts better. The other, which might be dangerous unless I can come up with a safe contraption -- is to keep it higher up on the cone in its original position. It may be unstable in that position, so I need to really consider this carefully.
I wouldn't want to start trying to take the bird off that cone to "turn it" while cooking. For one thing, the bird doesn't seem to fit upside down from the start. For another, and I am not slightly shy about handling a hot bird (I have the right insultated rubber gloves as well as a cook's naturally insulated fingers), it is not an easy thing to do. Turning a bird in a V rack is whole other story, and you can do that with two pairs of tongs. It will be harder to do on the vertical roaster, and you will probably have to get your hands on it, even before trying to make it fit upside down.
In my late mother's defense, she cooked everything way beyond well done, so she probably never had any such concerns about this. White meat was always way over done at her house, so keeping it cooking for an additonal 20-30 minutes was just fine for her. I think this is why she had no complaints about the roaster.
re: RGC1982
RGC, Dessert_diva and I were talking about turning a chicken on a v-rack, not on a cone. No way I'd try to put a chicken upside down on a cone...that's a nasty burn (and a slippery floor) just waiting to happen.
I've been roasting chickens on a v-rack with the turning method for going on 10 years, and have yet to have one come out rubbery or with soggy skin. The turning method also exposes the dark meat (wings and legs) to more heat during the roasting process, as they're on top (and bottom) of the bird for most of the cooking time. My experience is that the greater exposure to the heat results in the dark meat cooking just enough faster to be right on pace with the breast, which is always juicy and tender.
I have a rotisserie in my oven, and I do use it, but I also frequently use the turned method because of its high success rate and rave compliments.
re: RGC1982
If I absolutely have to do a chicken indoors, I use my beer can stand in a CI pan and use the convection oven, skin good and crispy, perfect bird, I just rotate the pan a 1/4 turn every 15min
re: RGC1982
The theory behind the vertical roaster (or rather the only theory I've heard that is at all convincing...and I don't vertical roast myself so I'm neither recommending for or against) is that it sears the inside of the bird, keeping more juiciness in. Your experience with vegetables in the bottom making it worse supports this idea because they will block air circulation. If you vertical roast, I think you want as much air space around the bottom as possible to let hot air circulate into the bird.
I've pondered whether a preheated solid cast iron block the shape of a vertical roaster, or filling the body cavity with preheated gravel, might be a good thing. :^)
No gadgets needed- Most simple and delicious roast chicken recipie from Thomas Keller. Better than any other way of roasting, IMO.
re: kaleokahu
Actually, I bought a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie last year, and that is how I make roast chicken now when I don't want to put it on the grill with a beer can. It comes out delicious, and the white and dark meat are both done properly.
re: RGC1982
RGC: That's great! I used to be sort of snobby about countertop appliances (especially the ones marketed in infomercials). Then I discovered in my parents effects a 1960's-era Farberware Open Heath electric rotisserie. I've used it a LOT, and for a lot of things besides chicken. This year I actually did a 12-pound turkey on it. A fat mallard drake brined and roasted on its spit is pretty much my choice for a last-meal-on-earth.
I'd like to try the Ronco sometime. It's enclosed, so you get some baking effect, too, right?
re: kaleokahu
I bake whole chicken in the oven sometimes; but it always comes out best in the Popeil. I don't think it technically bakes; the single heating element is on the back wall to crisp the skin with its high intensity heat. The inside just cooks in a residual way. I guess, I'm no scientist.
What I have started doing is putting any leftover pieces of citrus fruit inside and it self bastes as it turns, which is a big bonus. Just made one last night, and it cooked itself while I mowed the lawn!
re: pikawicca
pikawikka: I'm not doubting you. I'm sure it works very well...
But $250 for a detachable perch/arm? Did you already have a roasting pan and a rack? What's next for AC, a special pan to hold a spit that doesn't turn? We're all doomed.
re: kaleokahu
Well, it's also a very nice roasting pan, and mine was not great. If you already have a roasting pan that you like, this would not be a sensible purchase.
re: pikawicca
The arm IS a nice add-on. Someone should market one that clamps to the roaster. For about $25.
The photo at W-S's site makes it look like the Magic Levitating Chicken!
I use an old angel food cake pan. I started out using a beer can sitting in a roasting pan. Only problem was that some times I'd knock it over getting it out of the oven and make a mess. One day I was digging around in our cabinets and found an angel food pan that had not been used in 20 years. I just put some HD foil over the opening in center tube and I'm good to go.
re: John E.
John: Do you French them or spatchcock?
re: kaleokahu
We spatchcock them. I'm not exactly sure what 'Frenching' a chicken means other than a trimmed, split breast with the wing attacked.
re: John E.
That's what I do also. I did beer can chicken once and didn't find it that much better than my other methods.
re: John E.
John E: Here is a discussion of, along with photos showing, the difference:
re: John E.
My v-rack folds AND adjusts, and I find myself using the dumb thing all the time.
I've tried most of the methods mentioned here and short of adding butter beneath the skin, this is the best and easiest method I've found for roasting the perfect bird. I've used it both in my oven and on the grill. You can fill the tube with whatever liquid you'ld like and the meat comes out moist and the skin crispy.
I have a couple of cone-roasters, neither of which were very expensive. I adore them, and rarely cook a chicken any other way. I use the same ones on the BBQ and in the oven. In the oven, I put the roaster on a jelly roll pan so I don't make a mess. If you have it, I owuld turn on the convection. Super easy, and I make sure to spread the legs away from the body so the inner thigh cooks at roughly the same time as the breast.
re: CanadaGirl
Do you find the liquid in the tube really does boil? When I do the beer can method , it barely get warm , I can pull the can out with bare hands and it's just as full as when I put it in.
re: Dave5440
I don't know if it boils, but it us very hot when I pull out the chicken. I need to use a pot holder to put the can in the sink or I get burned.
re: Dave5440
Even if it boils what boils off is water.
I have not done any personal side by side taste test but I think ATK said beer did not add any flavor and you could just as well use water.
re: scubadoo97
I use OJ in the can when I do it, most of the time I just set the chicken on the holder and put OJ in the pan
re: Dave5440
The article I linked to below shows the beer itself does absolutely nothing except slow the process down, so even using water is worse than using a plain vertical rack.
re: acgold7
I read the article, and while I believe they had their results, it is not even close to what I've experienced. Whenever I roast a chicken vertically over beer, it turns out perfectly. I've done it both in the oven and on the griill. I even had perfect results the time I got distracted and took two chickens off the grill when the breast was 195 (!!); still juicy.
I've never tried it without liquid, but the vertical part, at least is my experience, works amazingly well.
re: CanadaGirl
I think you may have missed the point. They said that while the chicken comes out nicely using the beer can method, it is a PITA and the temperature of the beer never does get high enough to have any affect upon the chicken.
re: John E.
I don't think I missed the point. I know they said the beer doesn't matter, and I've got no side by side tests to say it does, but they also seem to be saying that the standing it up part has results no better than other cooking methods. On this I strongly disagree. I have spatchcocked chicken, and I agree it's faster, but I prefer the results of the beer can chicken method. Maybe it's just me, but I've managed to mess up every other method of roasting chicken :)
re: CanadaGirl
I do not find the results better than butterflying. I decided to give up the beer can chicken about 5 years ago when I was carrying two of them into the house on a 1/2 sheet pan and they slid off the pan and onto the floor because of the balabcing act required. If I were to use the method again I certainly would use one of the manufactured devices with a large base. I suppose the big mess was enough to affect my desire to sacrifice a beer.
re: John E.
(reply to you, since I can't hit "reply all")
Might the recommendation come from the fact that a full (or nearly so) beer can is heavier...and thus less likely to keel over than an empty one?
Just a thought...
re: sunshine842
I did not use an empty can. The beer also spilled a little into the cavity of the chicken. I grabbed the quickly without thinking and the hot chocken did burn mmy hands. The link established and I concur that tge beer never really gets hot enough for any appreciable amount to steam away. I do agree that the beer can chicken is not akways a stable operation. I just yave found that the results are not worth the trouble. I would bet that if someone were offered roasted chicken from a beer can chicken or a butterfly roasted chicken they likely could not tell the difference without guessing.
Hands down for me is the Zuni Cafe roast chicken, bread salad optional. CI skillet, one turn only.
I used a vertical roaster for about 20 years and the Zuni one is far better. Haven't tried Keller's yet.
I have 2. One is from NapaStyle and it's a one piece unit. The other is Rosle and it's the cooler item. It is designed to hold your seasonings or beer to infuse into the bird while it cooks, it's stainless steel, and has a removable long handle that you can use on the outdoor grill or oven. I set it into a cast iron skillet or just a half sheet pan for the oven, depending if I roast veggies or not along with it. The latter, Rosle, is on clearance at WS right now or at least was last week for less than 20 bucks. It's small, easy to store, has a removable handle, is stainless steel, dishwasher safe, and has that cup to hold whatever in it as well as the bird. Can't go wrong with that one. My NapaStyle cocorico (as it's called) takes up more space but they do have a good recipe at their website. Search "cocorico."
re: riverwalk
Thanks for the info. The Rösle is no longer available at W-S, but Amazon sells it for $20.
Without question, these things give me the best results:
They make them in sizes from Turkey all the way down to game hen, and I have several of each.
There's a great article I just read, linked to on another CH post, that shows the whole beer can thing is just a myth, and the beer itself does absolutely nothing:
Fascinating reading.
re: acgold7
I was glad to read the information contained in your link. It confirms the conlusion I came to and about which I posted last December. To achieve juicy poultry that cooks at a faster rate than does 'beer can chicken', brine and butterfly your birds.
re: John E.
I rarely brine a bird but I do butterfly them in most cases.
re: scubadoo97
Me, too, and roast at very high temp (450) or grill on low under a brick.
My favorite is the Römertopf chicken roaster, I have been using it for years. There is no need to turn the chicken or baste it and it comes out perfect every time.
(Btw your link shows a juicer.)
I hate unitaskers, so I use a bundt pan. Put your veggies in the pan, violate the chicken on the tube, and roast away. I always put a cookie sheet undeneath the pan just in case of drippage, but I've never had any. I just hate cleaning the oven, so I take precautions against it. :)
I read about this technique somewhere - can't remember: take your v-roasting rack and turn it upside down (if possible.) Butterfly your bird and drape it over the rack and roast it that way. It will cook thoroughly underneath because there's air passing through, and the bird will get crispy on the outside and cook evenly.
I haven't tried this myself because I'd need to buy a different v-rack, as mine has handles that will make it wobble. But, this method is next on my agenda for trying something different. If anyone has tried this, please let me know how it worked. Thanks.
Okay, just realized that one of those reversible rib grilling racks would probably work, although it's not a v, it's more a u. Still, it might work.
How about a halogen oven:
I got my first one last year, and now I hardly ever roast any meat any other way. Great results for chicken (and especially pork belly) every time, and simple clean-up. They are microwave prices and use loads less power than a conventional oven, so now I've got two.
The thing with these vertical roasters is that it cooks the chicken breast side up and the breast gets dry.
When I roast, horizontally btw, I cook it 75% with the breast down, so the juices run down into it and it stays juicy. Then I turn it over for the last 25% of the cooking time breast side up so it can brown.
re: pdxgastro
I always assumed that was true as well, but I found that because so much heat is conducted inside the cavity (unlike those using a beer can) the bird cooks very quickly and doesn't have time to dry out. My experience using these with all birds is that the white meat stays much moister than cooking the bird horizontally. But again, this is using simple wire versions with no liquid or cans, beer or otherwise.
There are some tricks, though. If you push the chicken down really well, the legs will splay outward a little, speeding up the cooking rate for the dark meat. And by placing the chicken as close to the over floor as you can, you can take the bird out of the oven when the white meat hits 150F and both the white and dark meat will be fully cooked and very juicy.
I also use the breast-down trick when roasting horizontally, and it does work great.

It has become almost as much of a tradition as the New Year's Eve champagne or the traditional kiss.
But the New Years Eve DUI enforcement effort has its roots in keeping us all safe.
New Year's Eve is one of only a handful of big drinking nights or that is the tradition or perception day. It is also one of the biggest DUI enforcement nights of the year. Local law enforcement tells me they did not have to look long to find suspected drunk drivers.
Of three overnight accidents in Omaha where Channel 6 News cameras were, at least one of them, a head on collision on 144th is believed to be the result of alcohol.
New Year's Eve for Sarpy County Deputies was a pretty normal night.
Lt. Russ Zeeb says, "Our officers on the street arrested two for DWI last night."
Two is an average number of suspected drunk drivers arrested by the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office on any day of the year but Lt. Zeeb says alcohols impact goes further than metro roads.
Early Tuesday morning a young woman wandered away from a party in the area of 168th and Giles.
Lt. Russ Zeeb says, "She is out in the environment, under the influence of alcohol, with no protection and it was about 3-and-a-half hours that she was out in the environment before she was found."
She was rescued and will be alright but many feel is should never have happened.
It will be a day or so before the number of DUI arrests are added up but whatever that number is local law enforcement says that it is too high.
The law office of Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf and Lathrop sponsors a free cab ride home every New Year's Eve.
We don't have firm numbers but one cab driver told Channel 6 News more people took advantage of the offer than he has ever seen.

I put out a message saying that I wanted to upgrade my 2B (Kendrick). An owner proposed me the following trade: Damon/Dempster FOR Uggla/Parra. I accepted the deal and an owner in the league emailed me saying that he protests the trade (Commissioner votes on vetoing trades and I'm the commish). This was his email "I protest this trade you are giving up too much for Uggla and Para. Uggla is about the 9th best at 2B. Para is about the 80th best at SP. Damon is about the the 32nd best at OF. Dempster is about the 13th best at SP. This is just too lopsided."
Is the trade that lopsided and what should I do as the commish?

A key part of the team, it's Captain David that's the one that vettes and approves guides for our Contributing Guides group. That group, composes solely of professional, full time Charter Captains, is where the reports come from that you find on TheOnlineFisherman.
David, is pretty much the liaison between our publishing group and the fishing community. From charity events, to television writing, programming, production, and more, and insight into equipment, he's the guy that answers our fishing questions.
David is a designer and manufacturer's consultant for everything from high-quality, affordable fishing rods and reels to braided line, leader and all sorts of fishing tackle. David works closely with Lee Fisher International, Tampa's Fishing Outfitters, Ohero Rods, Reels and tackle, and many other household names in the world of sport fishing.
Without Captain David Rieumont's dedication, passion, and faith in the project, it never would have happened. You have Captain David to thank for TheOnlineFisherman.
You can reach David here at TheOnlineFisherman.
David didn't start his career on the waters of West Central Florida.
