Scene in Manchester: Your chance to buy local
It wasn't the plan, but I ended up shopping on Thanksgiving night. One minute I was drinking a pumpkin martini and the next I was standing in a line wrapped around Toys R' Us in Manchester. If you were in line and heard a small group of ladies singing Christmas carols, that was me, and I apologize. The outing was a lot of fun, but I wasn't savvy enough to get my hands on any great deals. I left with some discounted diapers and baby food. So I can at least cross the baby off my shopping list.
I hope to cross a couple more people off my list at Intown Manchester's Holiday Artisan Market, which opens this Thursday at Brady Sullivan Plaza. About 40 vendors of arts, crafts, jewelry, home d�cor, baked goods and more will be there every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 :30 p.m., through Dec. 20 as well as one Saturday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I think everyone should make a point to give at least one locally made gift this Christmas, and the Holiday Artisan Market is a great place to start since all of the vendors are from New England and most are from New Hampshire. If you work downtown this is the perfect place to get a little shopping done during your lunch hour.
Sara Beaudry, Intown's director of marketing and public relations, confirmed that Santa himself will be a guest at every market and there will also be fun activities and great raffles.
Sights, sounds of season
It's a busy week for Intown as they are also getting ready for Saturday's Granite State Spirit of New Hampshire Christmas Parade scheduled to march down Elm Street at around 4 p.m. following the Santa Shuffle road race.
Don't forget to look for members of the Manchester Fire Department who will be holding out their boots to collect money for the Union Leader Santa Fund. We are so grateful to the firefighters who volunteer for the boot drive every year. Every little bit goes to help the Salvation Army, so crack those piggy banks and bring your change, cash and checks to the parade.
Beaudry reports the parade is shaping up nicely, with about 80 participants who are really enthusiastic and are putting a lot of time and effort into this year's floats. Former alderman Mike Lopez is the grand marshal and New Horizons for New Hampshire is the spotlighted charity.
Are your lights up yet?
Then what are you waiting for? Email a picture of your home's holiday lights display to firstname.lastname@example.com for a chance to win a Three-Hour Holiday Lights Limousine Tour from Grace Limousine. Be sure to include your name, address, and some contact information in the email. You can also visit www.NewHampshire.com/ChristmasLights for official rules.
Way to go, Heather!
It was a pleasure running into WZID's Heather Bishop at the Thanksgiving Day 5K last week. I'm just glad she told me who she was because I did not recognize her even though her racing bib had her name printed right on it. Bishop, who I enjoy listening to on 95.7 FM every afternoon, is a shadow of herself. She has lost 25 pounds since August while learning how to live a healthier lifestyle through the American Heart Association's Better U Challenge. And she's certainly taking the steps to keep it off. On Thursday she took five minutes off her time since the last 5K she ran about a month ago. I look forward to seeing, and recognizing her, at many more local races in the future.
Maynard's music
Thanks to Bob Baines for alerting me to this Saturday's concert to benefit the Richard J. Maynard Music Scholarship Fund. Baines, our former mayor and former principal at Manchester High School West, is serving as master of ceremonies for this concert, which is being held at 7 p.m. in the high school's auditorium, which is named for him.
Maynard was an award-winning director of choirs at West from 1975 through his retirement in 2004. Until his recent passing after a brief illness, he supervised student teachers for the University of New Hampshire. Maynard has too many accolades to mention and he was clearly one of those teachers who made a meaningful impact on his students, as many of them are returning to perform in the concert.
Headliners include Julie Albert, Michael Shaughnessy, Michelle Skinner, Jill Teeters and Liz Thibault Beaton. In addition, there will be musical selections by the Manchester High School West Alumni Band and Choir and the current Manchester High School West Jazz Band and Chamber Choir.
Tickets are $20 per person, and $10 for students and are available at Manchester High School West, the Bedford Public Library and WMUR TV.
Donations may also be made to the Richard J. Maynard Music Scholarship Fund, C/O Centrix Bank, 25 Constitution Drive, Bedford, 03110.
NH365.org Event of the Week
The Greater Manchester YMCA will host its eighth annual Santa Brunch this Sunday at the downtown Mechanic Street location. This free "Elf" inspired event includes arts and crafts, bouncy houses, face painting, and a healthy breakfast. The description also mentions a snowball fight. I'm interested to see how the party's planners are going to pull that off.
Attendees who bring in an unwrapped gift for the YMCA's Angel Tree program will be entered into a raffle, and photos with the man in the red suit are just $2. This event (did I mention it's free?) is open to YMCA members and non-members alike. Seems like a great reason to check out the YMCA.
If you would like to have your event considered for The Scene 's Event of the Week, enter it into the free www.NH365.org calendar.

Striking Beaux Arts Dragon Perfume Bottle Pendant
The term Beaux Arts period of jewelry design has its roots in the academic neoclassical style taught at the French national school of architecture, École des Beaux-Arts.

Unmistakably ornate, this magnificent perfume bottle pendant of gilded brass displays hand painted porcelain of a striking blue with a flat pattern hand-painted gold. The pendant is appointed with a brace of gilded brass dragons with wings spread grasping within their jaws lengths of chain attached to a large "O" fitting. The pinnacle is capped with an ornate dome top and the base with a fluted finial.
Date: Circa 1910.
Measurements: 3 inches (7.6 cm) in total length including bale and chain. Bottle is 2-3/16 inches (5.5 cm) in length by 1-5/8 inches (4.1 cm) at the widest. Weight of 31.9 grams (20.5 dwt).

Artists tackle the topic of being seen
Painter Helene Levasseur talks about the challenges of being a professional artist during Saturday's Open Studios tour at the Picker Building in Nashua. (Barbara Taormina)
Karen Bruson demonstrates her painting technique during Saturday's open house at the art studios in Nashua's Picker Building. Barbara Taormina
The old mill building, tucked inside the mill yard, is a working home for several dozen painters, photographers, potters, silversmiths and artisans who work with textiles, stained glass and wood. Artists from Nashua and surrounding cities and towns who have set up shop in Picker Building have established a hub of color and creative energy that has become one of the city's most valuable assets for art.
"There are about 24 studios, and it's a great group of people," said Diane Whittemore a watercolorist and designer who shares a large sunny room overlooking the Nashua River with three other painters. "We've learned a lot from each other being in the same place."
"But the city came along and told us we needed a vendor's license to do that," she said.
But the artists hope people in Nashua won't wait for the trail to visit their studios.

The operator of Portland's only container terminal charged this week that crane productivity hit a new low of 7.5 moves per hour because International Longshore and Warehouse Union members are stepping up their hard-timing tactics now that there is no longshore contract in effect.
07 Aug 2014
International Container Terminal Services saw profit, revenue and volumes increase at double-digit rates in the first half of 2014.
05 Aug 2014
West Coast container volumes are up noticeably compared to last year.
04 Aug 2014
Negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Northwest Grain Handlers Association, which represents a half-dozen export facilities in Oregon and Washington, are not concluded, though both parties say weekend bargaining has gone well.
27 Jul 2014
Even though it now looks like it will be sometime in August before a new agreement between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and employers is in place, no one is panicking and tensions appear low. Why?
26 Jul 2014
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association have recessed contract negotiations for the coming week so ILWU officers can participate in unrelated contract talks with grain handlers in the Pacific Northwest.

Anyone "jazzed" about new apple varieties?
- Ruth Lafler Dec 14, 2006 11:07 PM
I bought a new-to-me variety of apple the other day: the Jazz(tm). It's a new apple from New Zealand (although the one I bought was grown in Washington), produced by crossing Royal Gala and Braeburn varietals. To me, it combines the best aspects of both: the firm, crisp texture of a Braeburn with the strong apple flavor of the Gala. Anyone else tried it? Anyone else have any other "new" apples they've discovered this apple season?
(And does anyone even say "jazzed" anymore?)
re: pikawicca
I've been buying Pink Ladies for several years now, and they are hands-down the best apples for the money. Always crisp, slighty tart but also super-sweet, and, strangely, especially tasty when I leave one in my hot car during the day for a warm apple treat on the drive home. They aren't available for about 2 months each year, and they usually try to replace them with Pacific Rose in the grocery store. That one's very blah; it basically taste like water.
re: pikawicca
I've seen Pink Lady's/Cripps Pink but haven't tried them. What do they taste like? I know they are a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams. Does the Golden Delicious overwhelm the Lady Williams (which is tart and crisp similar to Granny Smith and Jonathan's)?
Personally I dislike both Red and Golden Delicious, both in flavor and texture.
I had a "Honey Crisp" a couple of weeks ago and can't find anymore! The name is perfect - sweet, juicy and very crisp. It had a nice light "snap" when bitten. The skin wasn't thick, like some. I don't know if it's new, but it's *good*.
re: interference
Here, here. I got giddy on honeycrisps all Fall. They are just a perfect apple to me :-) I have to say none of them made it into any cooking though - I was too busy eating them with good cheese for lunch every day!
re: jcanncuk
I love Honey Crisp apples too, but here in the midwest, we can only get them for a while in the fall. Guess I'll have to "settle" now and just eat Pink Lady's!
re: EssQ
Believe it or not, the 'red snake' is carrying Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, Jazz, and Ambrosia. All have that yellow with a pink blush skin and are mild in their tartness, but have a nice crispness with a thin skin. The Ambrosia is nice for salads. The rest I just like to eat. However, when it comes to a nice wedge of aged Canadian sharp cheddar (okay, Vermont as well) - not that yellowed cheese common in US grocery stores - I still enjoy an apple with a bit more acidity - Red Delicious and Granny Smith.
re: SanseiDesigns
I love Granny Smith (and Pippin, which is even better) but I hate Red Delicious, even when it's perfect and organic and I've taken it off the tree and washed it, it tastes like "mushy".
re: Das Ubergeek
Oh, that is so undfortunate. I grew up in pear/apple country and red delicious is still a favourite when it is crisp, crunchy, sweet, with a hint of 'greeness' to it. I don't care for mushy apples either. Fortunately many producer grocers offer tastes if requested; even the big guys.
re: EssQ
A note on Honeycrisp (TM)
re: EssQ
Here in SoCal Trader Joe's has Honeycrisps the size of an infant's head for $1.29 each. Much better than the Fujis we used to get. One out of maybe ten will be a little insipid, but generally they're not only perfectly crisp but taste like the best cider I've ever had. Half of one per person is just right for finishing up breakfast.
None of the other new or newish varieties I've tried even come close. And when the supply runs out, well, it's navel orange season!
re: Will Owen
H Mart, the Korean Supermarket chain, has Honeycrisps that size this year. $1.49 lb, and each weighs almost a pound. Actually one is too much to eat by oneself. But they taste so good.
re: Ruth Lafler
There is no single standard size for apples so I'm a little perplexed also. Apples come in a range of sizes and its up to the retailer to select the sizes that they purchase for sale.
re: Ruth Lafler
My regular grocer has normal sized Honeycrisps, but the ones from H Mart are the largest apples I have ever seen. They weigh 14-18 oz. each. I have a difficult time finishing one of these monsters as a snack. Add a hunk of cheddar and it becomes a meal.
re: JMF
A 14 to 18 oz apple as a snack? Anything over 7 oz gets cut in half for me and is two snacks, unless I'm really hungry and expecting the next meal to be several hours away. I usually go crazy buying Asian greens, etc., at Super H Mart and may have never paid attention to their apple selections but I don't think I've ever seen one that big. The biggest apples I've ever taken home, and only because I had no choice, were 10 oz.
re: Ruth Lafler
At the stores where I shop, a choice of sizes of Gala - small or large - is pretty common. Occasionally I will also see a choice of sizes of Fuji but for other varieties almost never and large is the default. (Other people's experience even in the same city may be different, I guess).
I love the Jazz. I just bought a couple myself and really liked it. Very crisp like a granny but also sweet.
re: ipsedixit
I've always found Fujis to be rather flavorless -- they're all about the texture. This is a much more flavorful apple, IMHO.
re: ipsedixit
I really like Fuji's ... well early Fuji's ... it seems that Fuji's are going the way of Delicious apples. Their popularity seems to be getting the flavor bred out of them. It is pretty hit and miss these days about getting a flavorful Fuji.
Even at their best, a Fuji wasn't at all like like a Jazz. A Fuji, to me was a nice sweet apple with a solid texture.
The Jazz is the soul of the apple ... the definition of the word apple.
OMG ... this is the best apple I've had in so long ... if an apple could take steroids to bring it to perfection ... this would be the super-star of apples ... crispy and full of juice ... as fragrant as apple blossoms ... delicately balancing between tart and sweet. Fans of both types of apples would love this. It made me stop and pay attention and have a little respect for what I was biting into.
Out of almost a dozen heirlooms, this new apple was the only truly memorable one, though there were a lot of tasty apples ... Swiss Gourmet. Ashmead's Kernel, Cinnamon Spice, Crimson Gold, Liberty, Candy Crisp, Philo Gae, Sweet Orin, Skinner Seedless and Pacific ... and a few old favs like Spartan.
In the middle of this apple orgy, I came across a really great site that seems to list most of the varieties of apples, where they originated, when they are in season and what they look and taste like. Very cool

re: jen kalb
We ate some honey crisp last year in Toronto, right off the tree at an orchard. It was a fantastic apple, with almost citrusy, bright flavors. But the ones I've bought here in stores (in SoFla) are not anywhere near as good.
re: diablita FL
Yes, they don't age well and are best young and fresh.
Thanks for the info. If I had to choose, my favorite eating apple is Braeburn, so I'll have to see how these Jazz compare...
I've discovered the Black Twig apple this year. I believe it may be the same as Arkansas Blacks?
re: operagirl
hello, you bring up a great point that sheds light on why folks have very different impressions of the 'same' apple. Winesap is an older (by 100 or more yrs) variety with a relatively short season and limited storage potential. Clearly, the varieties coming from N.Zealand adapt well to the storage/transport technology(which may include paraffin and inert gases) available, and modern breeds developed with commercial potential consider those factors in their hybridisation. The ideal (of course not often practicable) time/place to assess an apple is in its (non-preserved/gassed)season and growing area, so I hope everyone tasting stuff otherwise sees the difference between a fruit's native qualities, and how those qualities hold up or not to transport/storage. cheers of the season
re: moto
Stayman Winesaps hold up pretty well in home storage. As with all winter apples, they lose crispness over time while developing flavor. Indeed, winter apples were never supposed to be used when they were rock hard at harvest but allowed to mellow in the fruit cellar. I buy a peck or two from Michigan or Indiana at Chicago farmers' markets in October and can keep them in pretty good shape in a basement refrigerator, not set as cold as the kitchen fridge, into late January or early February.
re: Eldon Kreider
My parents have generally been successful carrying over apples such as Jonathans and recently Honeycrisp in their basement refrig into the following summer, as long as there was some moisture in the refrig - their old wetwall refrig was best, but putting the apples in a thickwalled garbage bag and adding perhaps some moistened paper towels works too.
re: operagirl
I think winesaps are my favorite. And I like the name too!
re: prunefeet
I'm a sucker for Black Twig apples as well.
Also there are several varieties of Winesap. The original Winesap is aalmost impossible to find, but Stayman Winesaps are available here and there, and are other winesap crossbreeds, all usually sold as winesap, but with rather different flavor profiles.
If you had tasteless Honeycrisps or Fujis, then you've unfortunately just had bad batches. I find that all apples really reflect a lot of seasonal variance. Honeycrips, for example, are an earlier apple than many of the others, so I got the best ones in September, I think. Well, it was the beginning of fall.
Also, if I cheaped out and got conventionally grown ones from Washington or something, they were much blander than when I got the amazing ones from Minnesota or even more local ones from the Farmer's market around here.
The real lesson I've learned is that the fresher and more local the apple, the stronger the flavor. Plus some apples keep pretty darn well, so if you hit up the Farmer's Markets and get lots of apples, you might be able to find a great storage solution and have apples most of winter.
PS. Anyone know anything about the Pinova apple? It's been our family's "holy grail" in a sense... I'm the apple freak, but my brother found these a few years ago at a small market that is since out of business. He said they were the best apples he's ever had, and unfortunately we haven't found them since, so I haven't even tried them.
re: annimal
I had a Pinova last month in western Washington state. I bought it because I'd never seen one before. It was great, and, as I remember it, not too different from a Pink Lady. Maybe less tart.
One of the best parts about living in Vermont is the availability of heirloom apples that range from cloyingly sweet to super tart. Last week I picked up some Esopus Spitzenburg, Sheep's Nose and Rhode Island greenings at our local co-op...you gotta love them just for the names.
Personally I find most of the "standardized" apples rather tasteless and mealy, why bother.
re: chilihead
Can you describe a sheep's nose? I'm imaginging one of the bulbous types but have no idea about its flavor
re: thinks too much
I realize this thread has risen from the dead (for Easter, appropriately enough), but since your 2006 question went unanswered: several years ago I went to an heirloom apple orchard in NH (Gould Hill Orchard) and bought 3 of everything, then took notes after ating one fresh, baking one, and making a tartlet with the 3rd. My notes say the Sheepnose is moderately firm, not juicy, mild in flavor, and bland in the tartlet. Its shape is like an elongated Delicious apple, tapering to a rather narrow bottom, so that it resembles a sheep's head in profile. The skin is very dark red. It is not a variety I'd buy again. Some of the heirlooms were cultivated because of when they ripened, how well they stored, and other reasons despite not having premium taste or texture.
re: Ruth Lafler
Aren't they a keeper! Love that light crisp, ready to eat bite everytime!
re: operagirl
sliced, frozen indiv, then bagged.
defrosted to use for pies, sauces, baked crisps
No issue with aging.
ack! you all are making me jealous! I unfortunately started a work/class schedule that prevents me from hitting up farmer's markets and I wasn't able to get so much of the local produce this year... grrr.
I love Northern Spys or crosses of Spys for baking as they are tart and flavorful. You have to find them at a farmers market for the most part. We took a trip to Red Wing MN this fall and hit the apple trail for lots of great apples. Has anyone had Winter Banannas? They have a taste which barely brings to mind a bannana.Grimes Golden are another variety I miss.
re: fryrose
Spies are the best. I had a friend with a winter banana tree, now gone - it was a good apple, not noticeably bananalike though.
re: jen kalb
If you ever find Wolf River, they're an even better pie apple than Spy. They're also huge, some of the biggest apples I've ever seen. It's amusing when someone praises the apple pie and asks for the recipe - there's nothing special in the making, it's just a better apple.
re: HenryT
Our old landlord in Olympia WA grows Wolf River apples, I've never seen them outside of the Northwest.
re: fryrose
Grimes Golden is still produced although past until next October. Seedling Fruit (seedlingfruit.com) sells them at several Chicago farmers' markets.
Comfort me with apples - Song of Solomon
Russets are my all-time favorite apple. Brown with a textured skin and so many flavors. They're late in the season, so I wade through all the others.
Macouns I only like through September; after that they lose their flavor. And honeycrisps are pleasant, but I think they're overrated.
But there are so many varieties. Northern Spies for tangy tastiness. Arkansas blacks for a dark, crisp beauty. Baldwins. Spitzenbergs. Ginger golds. New York 427's (I've only seen them once and would love to revisit them.) Pink ladies I enjoyed in Australia, and don't for some reason in this country. The floral-scented mutzus. Pippins which don't have as hard a skin as the Granny Smiths.
Last year I went up to Apple Hill (east of Sacramento, CA) and had a mutsu for the first time, and liked it so much that I bought a box (20 lbs.). This year, I went back and got two boxes. Sweet, crisp, juicy, and stores really well. Mutsus are now my favorite apple, displacing fujis. (I don't like tart apples.)
I recently tried a honeycrisp for the first time, and it was sweet, crisp, and tasted like...soap. I was so disappointed.
Anyone who wants to get "jazzed" about apples needs to read the "Apple" part of Michael Pollan's book _The Botany_of _Desire.
Then, talk apples! You will see how shortchanged we are in the apple market.
Tried Jazz last year...wow great! I also tried a Pink Lady apple and ended up buying the tree at my local nursery...a very nice apple also. Jazz is only sold to apple grower's for production....not sold to home gardener's. But is worth buying for the wonderful flavour. Growing my old european orange pippin graft on semi-dwarf root stock....which i got from a specialty apple co. outta OR. We'll see if it measures up. Does anyone know why Honeycrisp trees vary in coloration and taste so much? I have an early tree 7 yrs. old and 10 yrs. old which look totally different from the store bought honeycrisp and slightly different taste.
re: mishkacat
A grower who was selling his Honeycrisps at a farmer's market told me that Honeycrisps need to sit for a couple of weeks (as I recall that was the interval) to "cure" into their optimum flavor before being sold/consumed.
re: greygarious
I disagree about Honeycrisps needing to cure. Sure the marketers say they are a long lasting storage apple, but the flavor fades rapidly and the crispiness, juiciness, and other textural components fade after a month. (I consulted to an apple orchard making hard cider a few years ago and worked with the owner who had a MS in Pomology. Marketing vs. reality...) I've eaten them straight off the tree, a week or two old, and several weeks and several months old. They do not improve with age. They lose acidity and get too sweet and 'flabby' as they age, losing crunch and juiciness. Honeycrisp need to be eaten within a month for best flavor and texture.
Right now I have been making my way through a bushel that I have been keeping in cold storage, and each day they are losing quality, although at six+ weeks they are still better than any other apple out on the market.
re: mugen
I agree with Ruth. Why don't you suggest some other varieties? Since the thread is about new varieties, the ones discussed are likely going to ones that people can actually find. If you have been able to find others, please share so the rest of us plebes can look for them too.
PS: Not trying to be mean. I too prefer tart apples to sweet apples, and would love to learn about some new ones.
re: Bob W
Nice to see this thread revived!
I used to like tart apples for snacking back in the day, and I would be happy with a good ol' Granny Smith, McIntosh or Cortland. Crisp and tart, with a clean taste.
Now my tastes have changed, and prefer sweeter, crisp ones with a pronounced floral taste. Pink Lady and Gala come to mind, also some others whose names I cannot remember now.
However, not all Pink Ladies are alike. I have come across some totally flavourless (and soggy!) ones, and others that are pure heaven. I believe it has a lot to do with freshness and storage, as well as breed. I have a hunch that growers and marketers give different varieties the same names.
yellow transparent (old variety, pacific nw) is best for pie!
we also readily get Ambrosia now for eating - delish all round
Ambrosias are not a New Zealand import breed - they are Cdn - http://www.ambrosiaapples.com/the-amb...
The "Sweetie" from Washington was introduced this year. Absolutely awesome. A very sweet, crisp apple that is a normal size; not like the ginormous over-rated & over-priced Honeycrisp.
re: greygarious
A Pink Lady has firm flesh with tart and sweet happening simultaneously.
I just picked up some "Pinatas" from WF yesterday. It's grown specifically by Stemilt Growers in Washington state and is a cross between Golden Delicious, Cox's Orange Pippin, and the Duchess of Oldenburg varieties.
That said, the flavor was light, too much Golden Delicious in the cross, and has a tough peel that made chewing onerous. I won't pick up any more of these. It's too bad because if the cross showed more of the Cox's Orange Pippin and Duchess of Oldenburg I can see it being wonderful, but not maybe something the general consumer would like.
re: eramah
I like the flavor of the Macoun, but it doesn't age well. It gets mushy very fast. Get them fresh and eat them within a couple days, or don't bother.
re: cantkick
Good point. Like many fruits, they have a prime time for eating and the macoun is one you eat right away...and know your supplier. Thanks for mentioned that point, cantkick. It is important.
re: eramah
I never heard of them when I lived in western NY, nor when growing up on Long Island, but Macouns are readily available in New England. In the Boston area, if not farther afield, supermarkets have them from September until they are gone, though of course by late October they are no longer crisp. Then again, the ubiquitous Macintosh is a poor keeper, too. I think Macouns have a lot more complexity than Honeycrisps, analagous to the difference between unfiltered apple cider (M) and apple juice (H).
re: greygarious
I've bought Macouns in western New Jersey and Connecticut. They are now occasionally available out here on the West Coast, too, The problem is, as noted, that they don't keep well. When I buy them I make sure they haven't started to get soft. In addition, according to my favorite specialty apple grower, they're terrior sensitive and also tend to have good years and bad years.
re: greygarious
Grey... the Macoun apple is one of the varieties grown at the Alfalfa Farm Vineyards, just off Rte 1 N in Topsfield. They're fabulous right off the tree. There's usually a sandwich board sign on the left at the intersection of North St. and Rte. 1 in the Autumn when apple picking is available..
Good to see this thread revived. Last year I tried two new (to me and the NW) varieties: Junami and the above mentioned Kiku. Junami was simply the best apple I'd ever tasted until I tried the Kiku. Both had an exceptional balance of tart and sweet with a very full apple flavor, both very crisp and juicy. Kiku got the slight edge for being sweeter, but the added tartness of the Junami made it, as claimed by its distributor, possibly the most thirst-quenching apple ever.
When I lived in the NE my absolute favorites were Fortune (Red) and Crispin/Mutsu (Yellow).
Personally not a fan of Jazz, Ambrosia or Honeycrisp. None to me live up to their reputations. But I always make it a policy to try every new apple I can find. Pinata was also a disappointment. None of the new varieties seem to have much flavor.
Shockingly, up here we can occasionally get pretty good Red Deliciouses and Macs. Like most everyone, I'd grown up with mealy nasty flavorless samples with tough bitter skins and was blown away to sometimes find them up here that are explodingly juicy, crisp, sweet and flavorful. But you don't run across them every day and even at their best they wouldn't really be my first choice, and you can't really tell if you've got a good one until you bite into it.
re: acgold7
I once read, in a book on apples, that the public gravitates to the deepest red Red Delicious apples, because we are used to equating redder with riper/sweeter when it comes to produce. However, the author claimed that the best RDs are those with striped skins, and brighter, not darker, red. I have found that to be true, for the most part, but with the caveat that after decades of RD disappointment, I buy them only rarely, when there are no better options available. .
re: greygarious
I was going to note that as well, about the lighter stripy skins. It is an almost foolproof indicator.
re: acgold7
>>Good to see this thread revived.
I said the same thing upthread too :)
I also like to pick up and try any new varieties I see, but has also been underwhelmed for the last several ones I came across, including Honeycrisp and some others whose names I cannot (and do not care to) remember anymore. Jazz could have been one of them too.
I will look out for Kiki and Junami if they ever arrive in my area.
>> you can't really tell if you've got a good one until you bite into it.
Yes, that is such a dilemma! Unless I could taste one or I am at a farm where the "apple perfume" is all over to ensure they are fresh and tasty, I always only get a few at a time, to lower the risk of being stuck with a lot of crummy ones.
One trick I use, however, to at least make sure they are crunchy, is to lightly flick at the surface with my finger and listen for a crisp "thonk". If you hear a dull thud, the apple is too soft.
re: pikawicca
In defense of the Jazz apple which I like very much, I'd like to point out that the BEST Jazz apple comes from Australia and is grown by the Montague Group. Here in the US, we import Jazz apples surely, but I think we also grow some stateside in the PNW. The Jazz apples from Washington state (for example) pale in comparison ... they're NOT EVEN CLOSE. Perhaps *those* are the apples creating a lot of the dissension here in this thread. Enjoy a good Jazz apple around the start of April. You'll be hooked.
FB link --> https://www.facebook.com/JazzApplesAu...
Today I ran across a new (to me) variety called Envy, from New Zealand, a cross between a Gala and a Braeburn. Hard rather than crisp, it was quite juicy with a fairly good balance of tart and sweet and a pronounced apple flavor. Not as punchy as Junami or Kiku, mentioned above, but impressive.
I looked back over my records and found my Junami and Kiku tasting was early this year, Jan or Feb, so if they return we should see them again in just a few weeks. According to last year's press release, while Junami (IIRC a Swiss cross of Elstar, Idared and one other) is harvested in October, it needs to develop flavor in cold storage for a few months and really peaks in January.
I've been buying the Jazz for a couple of years now and it's my first choice if available. In all that time, I've only had one batch that wasn't great. I initially thought they were from Michigan.
I also like Pink Lady and Honey Crisp but they're less commonly available at my little neighborhood market and I have to look for them when I go out of the neighborhood to shop.
I've tried the Ambrosia a couple of times but am not really impressed; beautiful looking apples, though. I've had Envy once but it didn't make a big impression.
I gave up on Fuji a couple of years ago, just never could get a good crisp one with good flavor and they tend to be the 9 or 10 oz ones which are just too big for a snack. I don't want an apple to constitute a whole meal and I always favor apples in the 4-5-6 oz range.
Braeburn was awesome when they first came on the scene more than 15 years ago but they went downhill fast and I haven't deliberately bought any in a long time. Occasionally I get one that has wound up in the wrong bin and I didn't catch it until I bite into it - I'm always disappointed.
Jonathan and Winesap were my favorites as a kid but I haven't had a decent one in decades. For a long time I favored tart green apples like Granny Smith but I favor sweeter apples now.
My fall back, most dependable apple is Gala. Not a great apple but seldom really mediocre, either.
re: brucesw
I was amazed to find some excellent Jonathans in the NYC Union Square Farmers Market in Late October (Jonathan is a late apple) I think a lot of apples/trees called Jonathan are not the real thing these days. My mother's Ohio orchard sells so called Jonathans that are neither white in flesh nor deep red in color (typically, the color dyes the flesh) and lack the tart, spicy truly apply flavor or the original. Jonathan is a small apple so perhaps its out of favor in the current market for large,apples with a crisp sweet almost oriental-pear like quality..
re: jen kalb
Apple sizes, like restaurant portion sizes, have really grown since I was a kid. Ridiculously imo. I favor smaller apples.
Wish I could taste a really good Jonathan.
Footnote to my post above - I shopped at a new store two days ago and picked up some very large Jazz labeled as being from the US. Not as crisp as they typically are and too watery and lacking in flavor. So now I've had two batches of mediocre Jazz apples in two years. Pink Ladys I got also were mediocre.
re: brucesw
bruce -- yeppers, you can buy lots of mediocre apples that weigh nearly a pound now.
Give me a lilliputian Macintosh or Macoun any day!
Today I ran across another new one called Sonya. Almost triangular, it tapers down almost to a point at the bottom. While it had a good flavor and was fairly juicy, it had a soft almost mealy texture, like a long-stored RD. Not at the top of my list -- I tossed it after a couple of bites.
On the upside, the same market had my beloved Junamis and they did not disappoint. Not as firm or crunchy as I remembered, they did deliver on flavor and juiciness. They remain highly recommended if you can find them, surpassed in my memory only by the Kiku, which I will try to confirm if I can find them again.
I keep seeing the Opal around but haven't tried them yet.

The traditionalists don't like it, but the "Black Friday" shopping frenzy is as much a part of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States as turkey and pumpkin pie. There was hardly time for the roast turkey and stuffing to settle when most shops opened there on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, for a 28-hour bonanza of breathless consumerism that was to stretch overnight and drag on nonstop until 10:00 pm Friday. Henri Brown, 17, and brother Will, 15, were among the first through the doors on a chilly winter's evening. The four-day Thanksgiving weekend is the kickoff to the US holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has long been considered the critical day that turns retailers' books from red to black.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban fighters staged an attack Thursday evening in an upscale district in the Afghan capital Kabul. Witnesses described multiple explosions and bursts of gunfire in the Wazir Akbar Khan district, which contains numerous foreign embassies and compounds housing international agencies and companies — as well as the homes of some senior Afghan government officials.
HONG KONG (AP) — Crude oil and Asian energy shares tumbled Friday as OPEC's decision to keep production steady rippled across the globe. Japanese stocks rose after a slew of economic data releases but other regional indexes were mixed.

UPDATED: Auburn chief rebuts AG letter regarding dropped charges against ex-officer
The state Attorney General's Office dropped charges against retired police Lt. David Flight after obtaining paperwork that contradicted statements by the police chief. (COURTESY)
BRENTWOOD – Attorney General Michael Delaney said on Friday that his office dropped the prosecution of David Flight after paperwork surfaced just prior to trial that suggested he stored a cache of 50 rifles at his home on behalf of the Auburn police department.
That account, according to Delaney, was in direct conflict with statements made by Auburn Chief Edward Picard, who adamantly denied on Thursday that he ever gave a Remington 30-06 rifle to Flight as a payment for storing seized weapons at his home.
Flight, a retired Auburn police lieutenant, was headed to trial on Monday, charged with receiving stolen property and theft by unauthorized taking for allegedly stealing the high powered Remington rifle from the department's evidence room sometime after Dec. 7, 1992.
A pair of "daily activity logs" by Flight and another officer from August 26, 1992 – which detailed moving the 50 rifles to Flight's home -- led the Attorney General's Office to drop all charges last Tuesday.
The decision happened just two weeks before Flight's trial.
Delaney said if his investigators had those documents earlier, "they certainly would have played a significant role in our decision to present this case to the grand jury."
Picard said in an interview on Thursday that the cache of weapons was part of a State Police case, but that Flight made a report of moving the guns.
Picard also said he was prepared to testify at trial to rebut any claim that Flight was given the rifle.
In a statement released on Friday, view the letter here, Picard said many people with personal knowledge about the rifle "have since retired, passed away, or moved out of the area."
"At no time were any weapons given to David Flight or any other police officer as "gifts" from evidence storage," Picard said in the statement.
"I would like to thank the Attorney General's Office for its year-long investigation," the chief added. "It is extremely difficult to investigate something that is over 20 years old. We have had many years of mutual respect and cooperation, and will continue to have the same."
Delaney said at the outset of the investigation Picard, "stated unequivocally that there had been no seizure of weapons too large to fit in (the) evidence room," and that his department "never would have authorized the storage of firearms at a personal residence, and that no weapons had been stored at David Flight's house."
State investigators spent months interviewing witnesses, including Flight and Picard, to determine how Flight came to possess the rifle.
"He said that you gave him the rifle at issue, which had been taken in to evidence on an unrelated matter, as payment for storing the (other) weapons at his home," Delaney said in a letter to Picard released Friday. "When asked about Mr. Flight's account, you told the investigators that you believed (those) weapons were stored at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office."
Delaney said his investigators initially sought records from the police department about the 1992 seizure of 50 rifles from a man by the last name of Trudeau.
"They were told the paperwork and files no longer existed," Delaney said.
But Auburn police were able to produce the logs created by Flight and a second officer just last month, prior to a final court hearing usually held roughly two weeks before trial.
"These documents directly contradict your statements to investigators that there was no seizure of weapons that would have been stored at David Flight's house," Delaney said. "Despite our requests for all paperwork or files in the department's possession concerning the Trudeau weapons, these documents were not provided to us until March 21, 2013, just seven days before the final pretrial conference."
Picard was out of town on Friday night on a planned trip, said Auburn Police Commissioner David Dion. He said the chief planned to return on Wednesday.
Picard set off the investigation into Flight last January when he reported to the Attorney General's Office that the Remington rifle was missing from the police department's evidence room. He also provided records which showed Flight now possessed the same gun.
If Flight's theory was true about being given the gun, Dion said, then Picard would have no reason to report the matter to the state Attorney General's Office.
"He would have had no reason to do that had he given that gun to Flight, or to other officers," Dion said on Friday night.
The criminal case was brought nearly two years after Flight retired from the department in November 2010 after an audit into inventory missing from the department's evidence room was deemed inconclusive.
The audit prompted the department to upgrade security measures for the evidence room, an improvement Delaney mentioned in his letter.
"After speaking with your officers, it is clear that your department has taken steps to maintain evidence integrity that were not in place back in 1992," he said. "However, the evidence storage decisions made in 1992 were not made with the care taken today."
Delaney said when his prosecutors met with Picard a day after the charges were dropped, the chief, "acknowledged that these daily time logs would have adversely impacted the presentation of the case before a jury."

There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment – The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.

Stewart Rhodes & Renn Bodeker (WWII Vet) interviewed by Luke Rudkowski @ the WWII Memorial - NO Politicians! Just Vets, Damn It!Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Thu, 10/17/2013 - 17:35

Oath Keepers Remove Barricades from WWII Memorial on Last Day of "Shutdown"
October 17th, 2013
WWII Airborne Hero Renn Bodeker Leads the Way in dismantling the "Barrycades," Assisted by Navy SEAL Veteran Ben Smith and Shannon Rusch, and Oath Keepers Founder, Stewart Rhodes
In keeping with our solemn obligation to preserve the liberty that our World War II heroes fought for, Oath Keepers posted an Honor Guard at the WWII Memorial, beginning on Wednesday morning, October 16, led by 91 year old WWII Army Airborne combat veteran Renn Bodeker, to ensure that the Memorial remained open and accessible to the WWII veterans on Honor Flights, and open to the public, for the duration of the absurd "shutdown" of the Memorial (which made no sense at an open-air memorial made of concrete and stone).
Our concern was that in between large demonstrations, there was a risk that WWII veterans would be denied access. We made sure that didn't happen.
WWII veteran Renn Bodeker flew in from Montana on Wednesday morning and promptly led the Oath Keeper Honor Guard in dismantling the silly 'Barrycades' and carrying them across the street, where they were left on the grass on the other side, in front of the Washington Memorial. People were already ignoring the barricades and walking around them to enter the Memorial, but Renn found the presence of barricades around the WWII Memorial so offensive and absurd that he couldn't stand to see them up. So, they came down!
Who is Warren 'Renn' Bodeker?
WWII Vet Warren Bodeker Needs Your Help: Being Forced From Home and Forced to Exhume Wife's Body
Published on Jun 15, 2012
WWII Vet Warren (Renn) Bodeker Needs Your Help. Being Forced Out of Home and Forced to Exhume Wife's Body.
Warren C. Bodeker is an 89 year old World War II Army Airborne combat veteran and war hero, living in Montana, who is being thrown off of his own land and thrown out of his own house, by the Montana Federal Bankruptcy Trustee, Christy Brandon, with the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Montana. And to make matters worse, Warren's wife Lorna just died of cancer this past year, and is buried there on their land, right next to the house. Warren had planned to live there till he died and then be buried right next to his wife, there on their property at 11 Freedom Lane, in the town of Plains, Montana, but now, not only is he being forced off his land, he is being forced to exhume his wife's body and take her with him (with his land being sold out from under him, the only way he can now be assured of being buried next to his wife as they had planned is to exhume her body and move it to a cemetery).
This is the most disgusting, callous, brutal, and unjust treatment of a WWII veteran by the "justice" system we have ever heard of. Here is a man who stepped up and went to war at the age of 19 to fight against the Japanese in the Pacific. When we say he is a war hero, we are not exaggerating. Serving in Co. B, 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment, (11th Airborne Division (see discharge papers below), Warren earned two bronze starts while making three combat jumps in the Philippine Islands in 1945.
One of those combat jumps was the daring rescue of prisoners of war at the Los Banos Internment Camp on the Island of Luzon, Philippines, February 23, 1945, where Warren and his brother paratroopers of Co. B, 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment parachuted in at dawn's early light, 40 kilometers behind enemy lines, and rescued over 2,000 prisoners of war -- men, women, and children -- from their brutal Imperial Japanese guards, before those guards could slaughter them (as they had planned). Not one prisoner was killed in the raid (though many of the Japanese guards were). Private Warren Bodeker was there. He was one of those brave young paratroopers who the grateful prisoners truly considered heaven sent from above.

Excellent interview. Well worth watching. Sent it onward.
God Bless America. Hope is always with us, and listening to this interview gave me strength. We all feel weak and powerless at times and hearing such good people speak sense just revives low spirits. When I listen to something like this I feel like everything will turn out for the best.
My pessimistic personality is shocked having written that.
I am one of those people that thinks " No matter how bad things get, they are going to get a whole lot worse." But hearing these men state the same things I think and feel gives me great hope for a better tomorrow. That is why I back Ron Paul, because he gives me real hope for a better future also.
Thanks for posting this video.

Allentown City Council introduces water and sewer proposal
Updated On: Oct 17 2012 10:44:30 PM CDT
It's the first step to get the ball rolling or should we say the water flowing.
The Allentown City Council introduced the proposal that seven companies will follow when it comes to leasing the city's water and sewer system.
The City Council announcement comes just hours after Mayor Ed Pawlowski highlighted some stipulations for potential companies.
Council now has two weeks to vote on a lease concession draft for the proposed lease of the Allentown water and sewer plants.
"Now they can see what is expected of them and they can start putting the proposals together," said City Councilman Julio Guridy.
Hours before the meeting, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski laid out guidelines that seven companies looking to sign the 50 year lease will have to abide by.
"We want to show the potential lessees, concessionaires that there is some agreement on city council moving forward," added Pawlowski.
"If you look at the numbers, there's other avenues of how to get this money," said one resident in the crowd.
Others want council to look at more options.
Pawlowski says this is the best option and without the lease agreement the administration would have to raise taxes.
"We would have to have a tax increase of up to one hundred percent," said Pawlowski.
The guidelines call for no increase in rates for the next three years.
Then each year after that the rate increase will be determined by the Consumer Price Index plus a percentage no higher than 2.5%.
The potential company must offer jobs to current employees according to the union contract.
"If we get good proposals, we will take another look into this and make sure it's the best thing for the city," said Guridy.
The final vote on the proposal is scheduled for October 31st.
However council passed a motion asking the administration for all financial and legal expenses relating to the possible lease.
If they don't get the information, they may delay the vote.
