Jotted down to remember.
Probably the sexiest iPhone case ever. In general I don't like cases but this one looks damn cool.
Some sweet mini chairs for your desk, since if you're like me this is about as close as you'll get to owning one.
Interesting infographic depicting where all the federal tax dollars go. I was surprised the deficit spending image isn't larger but it's still fairly huge.
Some good advice from Evan Williams when you're kicking around a new product or idea.
Looks like the man was spreading some holiday cheer and swiping a little extra for himself.
John Maeda is the new president of RISD. His book, The Laws of Simplicity was probably my favorite read this year.
I've been reading a lot of architecture blogs lately and I stumbled across this site. It looks like they've done a lot of great modern stuff around Seattle, too bad it's all way out of my price range.
Saved for quotes on an article I plan on writing a little later.
An absolutely fantastic infographic illustrating who's mentioning who in the debates for the 2008 presidential race. As you hover over Clinton notice how many people are talking about her.
Buck buck, bagaack!
I've been creating some mixes based on color, so I'm interested to see how they categorized their music. Looks like a fairly cool service regardless though.
"Totally not out of the question."
Really interesting infographic showing how even when household appliances are turned off they're still sucking energy.
I still can't believe Nintendo hasn't figured out how to produce more of these things an entire year later. The console is fantastic though and Super Mario Galaxy is some of the most fun I've had playing a video game in a long time.
Great list from Jim Ray. I particularly like his take on You Tube.
"It's like saying 'yay,' the dictionary said." I don't like all the LOL and OMG that adorn the internet these days, but I do enjoy a good "woot" every now and then. However, I prefer the more "proper" spelling with actual o's instead of zeros.
I didn't realize Aaron Sorkin had a new movie coming out but after seeing this I'm sold.
A great list of tips from Paul Boag. I really like the first tip though. Setting that ground work with the clients and defining those expectations early on are the best way to end up with a successful project.
Looks like a good collection of free icons. Saved for those times when you've got to go stock and the budget is really tight.
I'm not a huge fan of video but seeing these gets me excited about what's possible. Whoever thinks HD isn't that much different is just plain wrong.
Looks like a great solution for those web applications you've always wanted to live in their own window.
Something to ponder during this holiday season.
I love the design of this and it's right here in Seattle. My neighbor's firm even designed it so with any luck I'm going to get to go check it out later this week.
I'm looking to get a new car next year and after seeing this commercial I'm actually considering a Smart Car. How often can you buy something that was in MoMA?
Clever uses for recycled ties including wallets, iPod covers, and iPhone covers. They're one of a kind so there's no worries in someone having the same one too!
One of the funniest things I've seen on Flickr in a while.
It was the first computer I ever played with. They were at the school where my mom taught, so I was able to play with one when I went with her. I still have vivid memories of playing Pit Stop to this day.
I've always done something similar to this at parties with beers. I'll rip part of the label so if I set it down later I immediately know it's mine.
This is pretty close to my dream hours although I don't think I'd want a place with more then 3 bedrooms (too much to clean). I hope to see more of this prefabricated green architecture in this modern style.
I'm still glad I've never joined.
"A permanent physical data art installation in an underground passageway, consisting of 16 half-mirroring wall elements showing real-time sociological statistics." Socially responsible data visualization that appears to look great too.
Now if only they had a Seattle or Portland one…
Great idea by Carsonified. Looks like they had a lot of fun doing it too!
When I linked to this Blue Flavor was at #5
Fantastic interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi about the Zelda and Mario series and his involvement in their stories.
Great reference site for testing special characters and quickly grabbing their HTML codes.
I'm not that into printed calendars, I usually forget to change them and then realize I'm viewing January in July but these look awesome.
Initial reactions were "No way!" and then "Booyah!" from scientists.
For those days when there's really no way around Internet Explorer 6 and transparent PNGs.
Great layer tennis match this week that's done all in flash complete with animation. The ones that tell a story, even a loose one, are my favorite.
Some great paper here but the shipping is cost prohibitive.
A valiant goal. I think the web standards project was successful in eventually getting the browser makers to change their ways so more power to the email standards project.
I have an unhealthy addiction to coasters.
I've been loving this documentary. I've always had a fascination with big science and especially the atomic bomb. I'm still hoping to do a tour of Hanford one of these days.
A robotic exoskeleton for superhuman strength. It's Terminator of the future, today—crazy.
The Hortence bit is definitely my favorite. Hilarious stuff.
"Sleevage is a blog all about music cover art. From the LP's of the 60's to the digital artworks of now." Looks like a great place to get some design inspiration.
"Makoto Hirahara, is made of a plain window blind over a lighting fixture. Simply turn the blinds, and filter the light as needed, just like you'd do with a window…" For those of you in cubes or basements this looks like a fun way to simulate some dayli
"'Cultural guerrillas' cleared of lawbreaking over secret workshop in Pantheon."
"A collection of simple network graphs illustrating how the flavor components of 250 different food products relate to each other, as a tool to inspire the creation of original recipes." The idea is to spark new recipe creations with unusual combinations
It's a good article and I was surprised to see my coworker Keith's slide is used halfway down the article to make a point about the importance of writing online.
They combined the CandyBar 2 and Pixadex into a nice icon management package. I'm not that into tweaking my system icons but this is definitely intriguing. If nothing else it might be a great way to keep track and organize icons in general
So cool. If you're still looking for a Christmas gift for me this wouldn't be a bad one.
I'm not a big wall calendar person but this is hot.
I'm definitely getting excited for this film, but that camera action looks seriously jerky. Hopefully it's just how they cut the trailer.
"Simple teapot of glass, cast stainless steel. High design for green tea." I love my teapot, but I definitely want to get this one at some point.
"Set of six traditional Russian dolls. Includes: bit, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte and terabyte figures." Geek toy lust meter set to high.
It's a bit sensationalized but Mark Pilgrim makes some interesting observations about Amazon's new Kindle service.
Love the retro feel of all the stuff in this shop.
It doesn't post often but when he does Cabel is laugh out loud funny.
I often have to "get away" from the screen. Hiking, running, even a quick game of ping pong help keep me balanced. Sure it's a bit weird, but I can see how kids who have been surrounded by the internet their whole lives have a tough time with "real life"
"With an estimated 175 million copies distributed in 2006, the IKEA catalogue is thought to have surpassed the Bible as the most published printed work in the world." That's a little scary.
For Garrett and him having to deal with our west coast schedule.
Soon robots can take care of our calligraphy needs. Whew, I was worried about that.
Great advertising campaign idea—placing rails on billboards and ramps on bus stops for skaters.
Create custom grids for Blueprint
I'm having a hard time not spending $399 on this. It's philanthropic and you get a toy at the same time—brilliant.
I love infographics and these about baseball pitches are absolutely beautiful.
"One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute."
"How big is the file? 3 floppies!" Hilarious.
I wish I'd have known about this before my trip to New York. I'd have definitely swung by the Times if I'd have known this was there.
I hope these are ready for Easter because I'll definitely want a few for my place.
The paint on the cars is a great touch.
"A double-sided poster visualizing the water footprint of products and nations." I like the product side better, but it's a beautiful poster.
Laugh out loud funny.
"This site converts bitmap images to vector art - it's an online auto-tracer."
Hypercolor on a mug!
Sure, it's an old Threadless T-shirt but it's still funny.
This mouse looks great but I can't imagine it being comfortable to use.
Vigilante justice… I so want one.
Shoot, I wish I'd have know about this museum when I was living over there.
Great thoughts about the illogical parts, the feeling of UI design. I particularly loved the quote "Change and fresh energy bring hope."
Great thoughts on from Mark Boulton that's something I've been thinking a lot about lately.
"Everything is freely available on the Internet, and is accordingly made inestimably valuable and utterly value-less."
She's perfectly fine so it's okay to laugh.
Nice little bit of extra information from Amazon. I think they could work on improving the text descriptions of what the sliders mean but I can see how that meta data might be useful.
Lots of great photoshop tips in this article on how to achieve some nice looking effects.
It goes on a little too long but the last product is worth the wait.
Interesting thoughts on User-generated content. I agree a lot with what he says.
When project management is getting me down I like to go back and read this.
If you tweaked your apache configuration at all in 10.4 be sure you follow these tips to get it back up and running. I had to copy over my virtual hosts and now all is right in the world.
The use of depth of field on this photo is fantastic.
Updated version of the freeware BitTorrent client.
If only they had these when I was 8!
That's truly disgusting.
In case I can't handle the transparent menu bar in 10.5
Might be really useful for work or even just between my home machines.
I've been hoping Apple would do this since I first saw the new dock.

It's the panda that makes it awesome
Grunt. Me like.
Nice to see they're trying to integrate the look and feel of the different OS's.
Looks like a great technique.
"Exchange books and trade them, like a book swap or book barter." Looks like a great service, and I've got quite a few books on my shelf that I'd like to swap out.
They've got free shipping and their prices aren't astronomical like Design Within Reach.
Even fire extinguishers can look good. Making safety items look good is a great way to make you want to keep them out and ready when you need them.
Love the photo, love the title.
Entertaining stuff.
It's a little dated now that Facebook is so popular but still great stuff. I think my favorite part is the dotted line usenet that's shaped like a UFO.
Which way do you see it spinning? It only spins clockwise for me and try as I might I can't get it to switch.
Awesome new service to help you get rid of unwanted catalogs and reduce your paper consumption.
So honest, so true.
Congratulations Mike and company!
Claymation at its finest.

That's one way to get some more space into a CRX.
New York Times on Portland's thriving restaurant scene.
Looks like it might be a nice solution for getting media from my computer and onto my TV without buying a fancy AppleTV.

Clever, clever stuff.
Furry mascots fighting… how cute!
Get yourself a ice cold glass of pixels.
I think this is the first flash drive that I'd like to own.

"Family tree of Indo-European languages, by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language."
"Patterning itself after the home of France's classic Pinot Noir, the Willamette Valley is becoming a wine country destination unto itself."
Surprising but very cool.
Far too clever.

Huge surprise.
Awesome. If anybody is looking to get me an early birthday present I wouldn't mind one of these manuals.

Garrett Dimon on colors for his bug tracker. He's gearing up to write a series this week on his development of a bug tracking tool that looks to be fantastic.
There's actually too many things I want to quote from this interview of one of my favorite "designers".
"Rather than defining each country by size, these computer-generated modified maps - or cartograms - redraw the globe with each country's size proportionate to its strengths, or weaknesses, in a whole series of categories."
Still funny.
I love it. Here's to wishing something like this makes it into the final release.
Scariest infographic I've ever seen.
Apparently the bear is okay… humiliated, but okay.
I got to design the new Baseball Leaflet which was a ton of fun. If you're a MLB fan be sure and check it out!
See money doesn't make you happy.
"You Are Here tracks and displays the paths of visitors traveling through a large public space." Very cool, but also a bit creepy. Sure it produces some fascinating images but it feels a bit too Big Brother for my tastes.
"Keyclick is a Mac OS X preference pane that provides adjustable audio feedback for keystrokes, mouse clicks, and the scroll wheel."
Interesting to see some new infographic ideas. I definitely like it better then pie charts, but do they communicate better?
Great article about writing by Bronwyn Jones.
Looks like a great clean, lightweight CSS framework.
Similar Diversity is an information graphic which opens up a new perspective at the topics religion and faith by visualizing the Holy Books of five world religions. Communalities and differences of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism are s

Hilarious video mocking Microsoft's new Surface commercial
"Reproduces through asexual budding"
Recap of WWDC talk on iPhone development.

Looks to be a great subversion client.
Get your "Hawkeye" on.
Looks like a handy app to turn your computer into an alarm.

A potential tequila shortage!
Amnesty International's Eyes On Darfur project is using high-resolution satellite imagery to show evidence of atrocities being committed in Darfur in hopes of enabling action.
The only thing that's bad about these is that fact that I have to wait until June 29th.

A flickr photoset.
Organization that sets up designers and developers with non-profit organizations.

Good reference material for print style sheets.

Shelves: adult-non-fic
I suggest using this book in conjunction with another travel guide so you can see where you want to splurge and where you can afford to cut costs. I mainly used this as a reference when looking at musts for sightseeing in DC. Still, I thought it was helpful and would use this guide for other cities if they existed.

Troopers have charged a woman with driving while impaired after a deadly crash that took the life of her unborn baby, her 18-month-old daughter and a close friend.
Macie Mooring remains in Vidant Medical Center with a broken neck, broken back and two broken pelvic bones, according to her family.
Trooper C.B. Case says the DWI charge is not alcohol related. He said troopers found medicine on the woman which wasn't prescribed for her.
Killed were 20-year-old Erica Jones, and 18-month-old Kaleigh Cooper. Troopers say the two had been sitting in the passenger seats of the Mooring's Trailblazer on Highway 258, north of Snow Hill in Greene County. Mooring was nine months pregnant, and her family says the baby was still born after the crash.
Troopers say the SUV was northbound when it lost control in heavy rain, crossed the center line and was hit by an oncoming pickup truck.
Previous Story
The Highway Patrol says a woman, a toddler and an unborn child were lost in a horrific crash Monday on Highway 258 in Greene County.
Killed were 20-year-old Erica Jones, and 18-month-old Kaleigh Cooper. Troopers say the two had been sitting in the passenger seats of the Trailblazer, Cooper in a car seat, when the vehicle lost control, crossed the center line and was struck by a Ford pickup truck driven by Jerry Carraway.
Troopers say the driver of the Trailblazer, 19-year-old Macie Mooring, is in stable condition but lost a baby that she was 9-months pregnant with. The 18-month-old killed was was also her daughter.
Family members tell WITN News that Mooring suffered a broken back, broken neck and two broken pelvis bones. The teenager is now going through surgery to have pins put in her hip.
Suffering non-life threatening injuries were Jones's two children, 2-week-old Makenna Jones and 16-month-old Kailey Jones.
Wayne Community College says both Jones and Mooring attended school there. Jones had been in the adult high school program last year, while Mooring received her GED last September and was a scholar graduate.
Troopers say the SUV was northbound on Highway 258 when it lost control in heavy rain, crossed the center line and was hit by the oncoming truck.
The Highway Patrol says the accident is still under investigation.
Previous Story
The Highway Patrol says a woman and a toddler were killed this afternoon when the vehicle they were in hydroplaned on wet roads.
The crash happened around 2:00 p.m. on Highway 258 near Newell Road, north of Snow Hill.
State troopers say a Chevy Trailblazer was northbound on Highway 258 when it lost control in heavy rain, crossed the center line and was hit by an oncoming Ford pickup truck.
There were five people in the Trailblazer, at least two of them children. The woman was the front seat passenger. Three others in that vehicle, along with the driver of the pickup truck were sent to Vidant Medical Center.
The highway was closed for about two hours because of the crash, but reopened shortly before 4:00 p.m.

Why didn't you simply install synthetic turf? It would have been fiscally responsible for the long term. The town re-sods annually. I am sure a local company would have offered to donate high quality materials sustaining 10-15 years of use.

Rising Stars
Rising Star Carolyn Harvey is already working with big money. As a senior project manager for the General Services Administration's Federal Systems Integration and Management Center, Harvey manages a Department of Housing and Urban Development portfolio valued at more than $100 million.
Chris Hamm, deputy director of FEDSIM, said Harvey was asked to step up from her junior project manager role on short notice and has managed the portfolio with "skill and grit."
Harvey said she not only thrives in the face of challenges, but also seeks them out.
"No day is the same!" she responded when asked about her favorite part of the job. "In the Office of Assisted Acquisition Services, we seek to meet a client agency's IT needs within the restrictions of acquisition regulations. With both factors constantly changing, we face new challenges and analyze creative solutions every day."
Read about all of the winners
In the first six months in her new role, Harvey was able to secure six IT contracts for HUD and saved the agency $7 million through careful financial and contract management.
"If we did not get these certain contracts awarded in a very small time frame, it would've resulted in a loss of funds at Housing and Urban Development, as well as an end of services that are really mission-critical services," she told FCW.
Harvey, who joined GSA in 2009 after a short stint in the private sector, said FEDSIM offers a special challenge because it entails working on pre-contract work, contract management and all the steps in between.
"My key to success was relying on the experience of others and having the confidence and the hard work to learn quickly," she said.

Millions of people suffer from Parkinson's disease, a disorder of the nervous system that affects movement and worsens over time. As the world's population ages, it's estimated that the number of people with the disease will rise sharply. Yet despite several effective therapies that treat Parkinson's symptoms, nothing slows its progression.
While it's not known what exactly causes the disease, evidence points to one particular culprit: a protein called α-synuclein. The protein, which has been found to be common to all patients with Parkinson's, is thought to be a pathway to the disease when it binds together in "clumps," or aggregates, and becomes toxic, killing the brain's neurons.
Now, scientists at UCLA have found a way to prevent these clumps from forming, prevent their toxicity and even break up existing aggregates.
UCLA professor of neurology Jeff Bronstein and UCLA associate professor of neurology Gal Bitan, along with their colleagues, report the development of a novel compound known as a "molecular tweezer," which in a living animal model blocked α-synuclein aggregates from forming, stopped the aggregates' toxicity and, further, reversed aggregates in the brain that had already formed. And the tweezers accomplished this without interfering with normal brain function.
The research appears in the current online edition of the journal Neurotherapeutics.
There are currently more than 30 diseases with no cure that are caused by protein aggregation and the resulting toxicity to the brain or other organs, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Type 2 diabetes. It is therefore critical, Bronstein said, to find a way to stop this aggregation process. Over the last two decades, researchers and pharmaceutical companies have attempted to develop drugs that would prevent abnormal protein aggregation, but so far, they have had little or no success.
While these aggregates are a natural target for a drug, finding a therapy that targets only the aggregates is a complicated process, Bronstein said. In Parkinson's, for example, the protein implicated in the disorder, α-synuclein, is naturally ubiquitous throughout the brain.
"Its normal function is not well understood, but it may play a role in aiding communication between neurons," Bronstein said. "The trick, then, is to prevent the α-synuclein protein aggregates and their toxicity without destroying α-synuclein's normal function, along with, of course, other healthy areas of the brain.
Molecular tweezer
Bronstein collaborated with Bitan, who had been working with a particular molecular tweezer he had developed called CLR01. Molecular tweezers are complex molecular compounds that are capable of binding to other proteins. Shaped like the letter "C," these compounds wrap around chains of lysine, a basic amino acid that is a constituent of most proteins.
Working first in cell cultures, the researchers found that CLR01 was able to prevent α-synuclein from forming aggregates, prevent toxicity and even break up existing aggregates.
"The most surprising aspect of the work," Bronstein said, "is that despite the ability of the compound to bind to many proteins, it did not show toxicity or side effects to normal, functioning brain cells."
"We call this unique mechanism 'process-specific,' rather than the common protein-specific inhibition," Bitan added, meaning the compound only attacked the targeted aggregates and nothing else.
The researchers next tried their tweezers in a living animal, the zebrafish, a tropical freshwater fish commonly found in aquariums. The zebrafish is a popular animal for research because it is easily manipulated genetically, develops rapidly and is transparent, making the measurement of biological processes easier.
Using a transgenic zebrafish model for Parkinson's disease, the researchers added CLR01 and used fluorescent proteins to track the tweezer's effect on the aggregations. They found that, just as in cell cultures, CLR01 prevented α-synuclein aggregation and neuronal death, thus stopping the progression of the disorder in the living animal model.
Being able to prevent α-synuclein from aggregating, prevent toxicity and break up existing aggregates is a very encouraging result, but still, at the end of the day, "we've only stopped Parkinson's in zebrafish," Bronstein said.
"Nonetheless," he said, "all of these benefits of CLR01 were found without any evidence of toxicity. And taken together, CLR01 holds great promise as a new drug that can slow or stop the progression of Parkinson's and related disorders. This takes us one step closer to a cure."
The researchers are already studying CLR01 in a mouse model of Parkinson's and say they hope this will lead to human clinical trials.

the dread mobile strikes again. who is that guy on the platform taking a call while declan bree is speaking? its showing disrespect for the event and bree, at the very least he could have left the platform. its some platform though! i've heard and read of such platforms but never seen one before.

Presumably Vincent was on the phone to the rest of the Rossport Five saying : "It's amazing. It's just a sheet of wood on some beer casks..."
by Jim Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:19
I never even noticed Vincent on the mobile when Declan Bree was speaking so he must have been very quiet and un obtrusive. Vincent gave a really excellent speech as well, very well researched and clearly from the heart.
by badman Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:22
He's fixing his glasses. There is no mobile phone.

he could have a communication device in his spectacles. ok, mea culpa, i guess he doesnt have a mobile, looked as if he did though.

OK, he was not using a phone, he was probably using telepathy.

It was a great afternoon in Effernagh. All the speakers were excellent Vincent McGrath, Kenny, Bree and McCann. Jim Dolan, the chap from Cavan who chaired the meeting was also very capable (I am told that he is an ex labour councillor) The platform was pure Leitrim - no frills - I really thought it was going to collapse at one stage. While I didnt make it to the school itself I gather that it was also very successful with lots of contributions from all sections of the left I also understand that they were also very polite to each other! A comment was made by someone on Sunday that given that the event was in Leitrim it was strange that only one local Sinn Fein member turned up at the school. I was at the last gralton school in Drumshambo some years ago and I can only say that it is great to see the event revived. It is one of the very few non sectarian conferences organised by the left in Ireland and Bree and his committee deserve credit for it. The few pints with the locals afterwards were also enjoyable although the choice of music was dire. Overall a good weekend for Leitrim and the left.
by Oisín - ÓSF Sat Apr 29, 2006 19:01
The Chair of the meeting pictured was Paul Dolan, ex-Labour and former Urban Disrict Counciller, also my father but thats irrelevent. Secondly, the music was nothing to do with the Gralton committee, which was why we all chose to drink outside and finally I'm from SF so there was two shinners present, could of been more though. It did get a page in An Phoblacht so there's always next year.
by J. Mulrooney Sun Apr 30, 2006 03:48
While the Shinners may have been weak on the ground it was worthy of note that Gabriel McSharry who chaired one of the sessions at the School was described on the programme as a North Leitrim Political Activist

Smoked meat in Toronto
- k
- Kristinaroxboro Feb 6, 2011 02:28 PM
Well folks,
it's official I've had the worst smoked meat of my life. After almost one week of research on the net and following the very well written Montrealer70's comments on Smoked meat in Toronto I opted to go check Montreal Deli on Dundas in Mississauga recommended by a friend that works near there.. When the waitress brought my sammy I thought she had made a mistake and delivered a ham sandwich instead of the real deal. I had to ask about the peppercorns and spices so she exchange my sandwich and got me an old fashioned smoke meat telling me that this one is spicier. It wasn't even close to a smoke meat sandwich, the rye bread was dry and stale, there was absolutely no flavour. It certainly wasn't the poor waitress's fault, her job is to delivery the grub. She was very nice (as far as Toronto waitresses go), but she didn't get it or care about the "étiquette of smoke meat" and . To be honest my first was clue should have been that nobody else was eating any smoke meat. The fries no bad and pickle was good. So it cost us $25.00 for 2 sandwiches, 1 french fry, 1 disgusting coleslaw 2 half pickles and 1 coffee. So I took 2 bites and I was done. Guess who eating the rest of lunch at work tomorrow? The boyfriend...that's right folks, he's from Toronto so he doesn't mind. Now if anybody is driving to Montreal and needing a dose of great Smoke Meat without going downtown, hit Pete's Smoke Meat in Ile Perrot right next to the Dairy Queen and Montrealer Motel right before taking bridge across to Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. Mapquest it. God! I'm homesick enough as it is, this was the last straw and made me feel even more melancholy. In fact if anybody going to Montreal and would care to bring a couple of packages of Pete's smoke meat...I'm just saying I still haven't found a good Deli to satisfy my craving. No it wasn't worth the drive from Acton. We were in Montreal in november and pulled in on our way back at 10:00 in the morning to have my fix and bring some home before hitting the highway. The waitress was a real sweetheart and we had a great time. Oh! and by the way they have live music every night. The place looks like something out the Flinstones and also displays an incredible inventory of God's meat in antique refrigerators. His slogan is "YOU CAN'T BEAT PETE'S MEAT" Love it. And the waitress is from Niagara Falls, loves it in Quebec and would never move back. She loves the "joie de vivre" and is loving her job and it comes thru quite nicely. So if you're looking to treat yourself to a great smoke meat sandwich, DON'T go the the Montreal deli.
And that's all I have to say about that.
I am not sure how you researched your choice, but Montreal Deli in Mississauga has never been a hit on these boards. The contributor you mentioned has not been active here for 2 years.
Current smoked meat afficianados would probably go to Caplansky's, Free Times, or Stockyards.
Or for at home, Goldin's, or Dunn's pouches from Costco
Since you are based in Acton, Mississauga might be convenient, but there is no good smoked meat there.

re: jayt90
Concur with jayt90 -- I've not heard mention of Montreal Deli on these boards (although I also didn't know Stockyards was doing smoked meat).
re: EarlyDrive
You are right about smoked meat at Stockyards. The current website indicates they have smoked brisket, and the FAQ's say they have been struggling with pastrami.
re: jayt90
It was suggested to us by a friend who works near there. I had mentioned to him that I was on the site and didn't know where start that would in the west end.
re: jayt90
Thanks for the suggestion, I would be interested in the Costco option for sure. I'm also on the hunt for a good Italian joint. When I first moved here 13 years ago I checked out Zorro's in Brampton, Excellent service, nice joint but quite expensive.
re: Kristinaroxboro
Costco has refrigerated pouches of Dunn's smoked meat. They are well spiced, but not all of them are fatty.
They used to have, at some locations, slabs of Dunn's smoked meat, some of them well marbled, but that was discontinued, probably lack of sales.
re: jayt90
Thanks for the info Jayt90, well worth checking it out.
re: jayt90
Slabs discontinued because they were never stocked at the locations where they might sell? Just sayin'....
re: jayt90
Weak, the slabs are gone now jayt90? The ones at the Queensway location? I used to travel there all the way from Brampton just to pick them up a couple times a year
re: duckdown
Yeah, the slabs are gone from Ajax. Seems like they try new things, like Moishe's all beef franks, and drop them after a few months of poor sales and poor marketing.
I'll definitely be a Goldin's fan if he keeps producing every week.
re: duckdown
I luv the Dunn's smoked meat pouches at Costco. I even took some friend in somewhat isolated location and can;t buy them and he luved them too and this guy grew up in Montreal. Nice fatty center and spiced well IMO.
Never tried the big slab that I saw sometimes there. I also luved the smoked meat pizza which they used to sell pity can't find it anywhere anymore.
re: elvisahmed
I tried the Dunn's pouches once and although edible and priced resonably , I much prefer Goldin's smoked meat. You should try it out if you have a chance to.
re: foodyDudey
Ok I will bite where can I get Goldin;s Smoked meat?
re: elvisahmed
You can either order a sandwich at Free Times Cafe, or order the meat from him directly. Details can be found here, although prices and availability may have changed over time:
re: Wahooty
Haha, it's called Free Times Cafe ;)
Free Times Cafe
320 College St, Toronto, ON M5T1S3, CA
re: Wahooty
Oh I bet : )
re: Wahooty
I think that sounds like a great option, that's the route to go! Got my vote.
re: Kristinaroxboro
Goldin's is probably the closest you'll find to what you're missing in Toronto. He makes good stuff - just don't expect it to taste exactly like Schwartz, etc. and you'll be fine.
re: elvisahmed
They have a website now, here it is: www.goldins.ca
re: elvisahmed
I've seen the smoked meat pizza at Newmarkey Costco-gonna try it tomorrow
re: Wiley1
Thanks I saw it on my last trip too and picked it up apparently its only at Wilson location in Toronto as I couldn't find it in the Etobicoke branch. They have reduced the spices quite a bit but its still better than any frozen pizzas I have tried IMO.
I don't know if you are willing to go downtown for good smoked meat, but if you are, I second Caplansky's, just remember to order it medium. Order lean and the flavour and moistness is dramatically reduced.
356 College Street, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
Having lived in both places, I'd like to respectfully suggest that, if you're looking for Toronto to be like Montréal, you're going to be disappointed just as surely as if you are looking for Montréal to be like Toronto. Where food and drinks are concerned, there are lots of great things to be found in Toronto that Montréal can't compete with, and vice versa.
If you want Montréal smoked meat, have it in Montréal (or the environs), but if you want to enjoy the best of Toronto, don't look for copies of Montréal.
My two cents, anyway. Sorry about the homesickness!
re: trombasteve
Well said!
re: trombasteve
Agreed. I solve this problem by not eating smoked meat outside of Montreal.
A nice brisket on the other hand... Toronto does nicely.
re: trombasteve
I totally agree. Toronto used too known for corned beef. the cities are different, but most of the old Jewish deli's are gone or changed.
Montreal is ''the'' place for smoked meat. Centre Deli (1136 Centre Street, Thornhill) does not beat Schwartz but the meat is cut by hand, to your taste, and you have the choice between the Montreal Old Fashioned and the lean one. Very busy spot, mainly on week-ends, but reallty worth the trip.
re: gilbert1111
hey Gilbert1111,
I moved from Ile Perrot to Ontario in 1998 when Pete's was operating out of a little basement ex-apartment location below my hairdresser's shop. He has done very well and now has that prime spot right before you hit the Ste-anne's bridge. Next time I visit I'll to sure to check out the live music.
Thanks for the reply.
re: gilbert1111
Good time to try Caplansky's. If you have not already done so, they are selling Groupon deals for: both dinner and lunch. Basically half off the price.
356 College Street, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
I vote for Goldins (never tried it from the cafe)
I thought Caplansky's was tasty, but much preferred Goldins
I am also a fan of Lou Dawg's Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich - I much prefer it over the pulled pork (both in sandwich form and poutine form), but overall I'd say that Goldins tops what I've tried in Toronto.
356 College Street, Toronto, ON M6J, CA
Coincidence only because it has nothing to do with your Pete's but Peter's on Eglinton is an excellent deli http://www.petersoneglinton.com/index...
Do yourself a favor and trek out to the Thornhill area for some Center Street Deli, handcut smoked meat from the steam table just like Montreal, where the owners are transplants from. Also Pancers on Bathurst Street just north of Wilson has some of the best pastrami and baby beef in town, and Steeles Deli at Yonge and Steeles has some great deli options as well. Personal fave tho, Center Street Deli, where it's at!!!
re: jroth27
I know I'm putting more fuel into the fire, but, I've been disappointed with both Montreal and Toronto (Caplansky is still on my TDL).
New York (in my opinion) is the only place.
re: jroth27
I just had a smoked meat sandwich at Pancer's on Saturday (medium fatty, hand cut) and I have to say it was one of the best I've ever had (in Toronto or elsewhere, and I've had a lot of deli). The meat was moist, tender, and had a perfect spice level. It was truly fantastic.
On the other side of things, my wife had a pastrami sandwich (lean, not hand cut - both against my recommendations) and it was decidedly mediocre (at best). The meat was dry and didn't have much taste. Sure it was lean, but I still don't expect it to be dry.
Anyway, just had to throw props to Pancers for the smoked meat. Absolutely delicious. If this what they're putting out, I'll have to make the trek out there more than once a year or so.
re: Strongbad789
Is this the one at Maj. Mac. and Duff??
re: Davwud
On Bathurst just north of Wilson. I didn't even know about the other one...are they related? (the one on Bathurst is "Moe Pancer's Delicatessen" and the other one is "Pancer's Deli Emporium")
re: Davwud
re: mayaishi
I'm not sure, but the one time I got a sandwich from there it was awful so I'd say if you're in that area try the Corned Beef House on Adelaide instead.
Corned Beef House
303 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5V1P7, CA
re: terrycar
Highly recommend Corned Beef House's Club Sandwich.
Corned Beef House
303 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5V1P7, CA
re: mayaishi
There's no connection between the two. My experience with King St was reliably awful.
Switzer's 7310 Torbram Road, Unit 2, Mississauga, ON, L4T 3X2, It aint pretty but its the real deal friendly staff & perfect smoked meat I drive 90mins just for their Reuben! close your eyes & you are back in Montreal (or Spadina 20 years ago!)

re: pagan1
Curious about Switzer's. The name rings a bell for some reason. Were they not located in Downtown Toronto many years back? Also, are they making their own smoked meat or buying from somewhere else? With all of the re-selling of other people's products I have decided to purchase my own smoker this year.

re: Poorboy
Switzer's used to be on Spadina next to Shopsy's when Spadina was the garment district before Chinatown took it over! Not sure if they still smoke their own but it tastes like it!

re: Poorboy
Switzer's used to make their own brined corned beef and pastrami on Spadina. Torbram is the same owner and his daughter. I doubt that they still make their own, but don't know for sure. They certainly don't make their own smoked meat.
If they make the same beef knishes they made on Spadina (again, I don't know), these were wonderful.

The Centre Street Deli is owned by Cheryl, the daughter of the owner of the esteemed Snowdon Deli at Queen Mary and Decarie. Order an Old Fashioned with extra fat and you'll feel like home. Other than that, Peter's on Eglinton in Mississauga serves a monster smoked meat sandwich on rye of acceptable quality Lester's from Montreal. Other representations of "Montreal smoked meat" in Toronto are not worth the bother if you're from Montreal. Having said that, even in Montreal, there are a lot of places that are trading on past reputation and aren't as good as in the past. Even the legendary Scwartz's serves the occasional meh sandwich.

re: Big Kahuna 1
I've had a tough sandwich or two from Schwartz's, which is why I usually just go to the Main Deli across the street.. Less people, less busy, and a very good product
re: duckdown
Ssssshhh. This is a secret.
re: duckdown
I will be doing my own tasting of the two on Friday! I will report back ;-)
There's been a couple mentions of Free Times Cafe here. Has anyone ever tried Goldin's at Free Times Cafe?
Well, I did. Hoping for a decent, even comparable experience to real Montreal smoked meat - NOT. Extra lean, dry, microwaved, many pieces were hard as leather. Took 15 mins to prepare / reheat too. Sadly, waitress believes what I got is the norm. I really hope it was an abberation. I will consider trying again, but only if a manager is around - or at least someone willing to proactively do something about it.
Goldin's might want to do some quality control of their served product here - cause it is not good.

re: JonSlid
Hi Jon,
Unfortunately we had the same experience recently.
Couldn't eat it.
I asked the Owner who was wandering around if they ever slice it fresh, possibly on the Weekend, and she told me, no that this is the way the always serve it
Would never return..
re: JonSlid
Free Times does a horrible job preparing the brisket. A sandwich there vs Goldin's brisket at home is like night and day. They cut it badly, heat it badly, there's no good mustard ... they don't even use the drippings!
It's fine if you want to sample Goldin's flavour profile, but keep in mind that it's a really poor caricature of what you get when you prepare it properly.
re: Underdog Rally
Amen to that...
Pre-sliced and re-heated is just asking for trouble.. That's very unfortunate to hear
I just got some from Goldin's a few weeks ago directly after he won the Deli Duel and it was his "award winning" batch, prepared at home and it was excellent as always..
It's cool that they're selling the whole briskets there now, which is the best way to buy the product for sure -- but it's worse for me. Less parking and further away.. Hopefully still be able to make the odd pickup at his original location
re: duckdown
Better for those of us who live downtown.
I've gotten annoyed enough at the smoke meat situation in Toronto that I've learned to make my own. It requires a few uncommon items (smoker, XXL ziplock bags, Readycure/pink salt, a slicing knife) and take a lot of time (about 2 weeks) but the product that comes out of it at the end is outstanding and very much the equal of anything that comes out of Montreal (big words, but I stand by them).
Seriously. I was astounded at how good the meat came out. So if any of you have the craving and absolutely positively need to feed it, you can find the complete story here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/794033
re: biggreenmatt
Pickle Barrel if you like it lean
Ask them to flat pack it, those plastic containers are a pain to open and close.
Yorkdale Shopping centre location near the bay , lots of free parking
Check out the smoked meat sandwich at Stack Smmmoked on Yonge just south of Hogs Hollow. Not "Montreal" Smoked Meat but their own blend of spices and then treated as MSM. It's awesome.

No Kidding?! You have two of my most favorite places to eat on this planet there. Black Bear Diner for breakfast and In and Out Burger by the mall for lunch/dinner. I loved my time there. Used to know a pretty hot box of chauks named Katie Y. from down there... *wolf whistle*
I did some State Licensend Boar "hunting" just south of Anderson. That was the first blood my .308 ever spilled.
she sounds like one well built girl,im building a 308 rig myself but not as good as what you made , maybe have to rethink some of my build.JD have read alot of your posts and it seems you got your head screwed on strait so keep hanging around your smith and soak up all the info you can.I was spending a lot of time with my gunsmith and pretty sure i was driving him nuts with questions and one day he put me to work, i learned a lot but he passed on and i miss the friendship and tutoriols.
