Do I want to say "Yes" to a wild turkey offer?
- cayjohan Nov 16, 2007 08:10 PM
My father is beset by the wild turkeys that have moved onto his land, and is offering to bag one for my Thanksgiving dinner. This intimidates me so, for some reason. I have eaten a lot of game, and prepared a fair amount, but have no experience with a wild turkey. Since the T-day clock is ticking, I need to make a decision on this particular tom's fate. Do any of you serve wild turkey for Thanksgiving? Is is good or something other than good? Texture, gaminess? What differences in roasting procedures? Should I make a stab at the "authentic" bird and toss the frozen turkey back in the deep freeze, or do I say *no thanks*to the fresh-shot tom?
Sheesh, the last minute Thanksgiving things we must deal with, huh?
re: ipsedixit
Can you speak to the flavor of the meat? Gravy options being good or bad? I'm most concerned about the possibility of gaminess that might put some of my guests off their feed (I like gamey, personally...but I think I'm in a minority.)
re: cayjohan
I didn't find it gamey at all, but then I regularly eat deer, elk, buffalo and bison. I don't think it goes well with gravy, try some sort of wine reduction -- it just pairs better with the leaner bird I think.
But read what MakingSense says below about having a "Plan B".
Good luck.
re: cayjohan
I don't care for 'gamey' protiens like venison, but I have eaten a few wild turkeys and they don't have that same gamey taste. But as stated above, they are less meaty, kind of dry and rather stringy. My dad has a smokehouse and the smoke flavor is a great improvement on the taste.
re: MrsT
I wholeheartedly agree with MrsT. Please ensure that all hunting guidelines are followed when taking a turkey, including obtaining a license and land restrictions, etc.
That being said, I have hunted the past 3 seasons for wild turkey and have never bagged one yet, but will continue to hunt because I am dying to try wild turkey. Other hunters have told me that wild turkey is excellent and not gamy. However, most wild turkey lovers prefer a spring bird to a fall bird.
Say YES. But then have a Plan B. Some of your guests may not like even the most well prepared wild turkey - and I'm going to assume that you are a great cook - so get a good ham, a traditional second entrée for Thanksgiving feasts.
For everybody, wild turkey is a treat and a rarity. They're hard to bag and many hunters never do. I've only cooked it once and that was years ago. Although they can be 12 or so pounds, they often seem pretty scrawny. They will seem very different to your average Butterball-consuming American so be prepared for only polite, ceremonial sampling by your guests. It wouldn't be crazy of you to have Plan B domestic turkey if Dad shows up with a small wild turkey.
I brine most wild fowl that I cook (exceptions being some small upland game birds) mostly because you have no idea how old they are, it does mellow them out for people who are not used to gameyness, and it helps with moisture. Try to check as best you can for shot and remove as much as you can. Game birds are lean so there are rarely much drippings for gravy - that's why I guess you see so many wine sauces - and you'll probably need to baste or bard it. Cooked well, wild turkey is delicious.
If Ben Franklin had had his way, it would have been our national bird instead of the eagle.
I wish someone were giving me a wild turkey for Thanksgiving. I would grab it in a minute. Even if you have to cook it side by side with a Butterball, it's a rare treat and you shouldn't pass on it. Lucky you!
re: Davwud
If you have the option I'd say cook both. Or if you have family close by maybe ask them to cook the butterball and you can concentrate on the wild bird. I'd consider the butterball cheap insurance just in case the wild turkey doesn't turn out the way you're hoping. I'd guess that the T day bird is thing most people don't want to experiment with as it's not easy to make another one if you screw up.
re: Davwud
Let's see: extremely lean bird + dry heat source + long cooking time = bad bird.
Gee, who'da thunk it?
It's risky. I had one once, cooked/smoked by my brother-in-law who snagged it. The drumsticks and wings were inedible because a wild turkey is so active that this meat isn't very good. The turkey came out dry, but did taste like turkey (I mean c'mon it is turkey).
After eating it I thought about what this turkey's diet may have been like in the wild...and what water it may have been drinking....and well...as the other poster above said...only Wild Turkey from the bottle from now on for me.
Oh my gosh say yes...the flavor compared to domesticated, hormone junky locked in a cage with no time out for good behavior is incomparable. The meat is more flavorful and much more moist then domestic. The meat is dark compared to domestic but is very flavorful in a good way. If properly prepared you will have a winner. I have had tham on the table many times and given the choice ther would be no contest.
Old crazy Tom that was vexing the property has been spared and we made the regular old turkey for Thanksgiving. Thank you all for the comments on wild turkey (especially Making Sense, as I think I will be pursuing this next year). To those concerned, yes, all proper licenses and permits and stamps and whatnot were in order (eggs taste good poached, but anything else will cost you <g>)
Saving this post for next year, as the wild taste sounds even more wonderful than the juicy white-meat of the supermarket bird. Maybe will do two for the Plan B.
Thanks all,
re: cayjohan
Forgot to mention the reason for the turkey amnesty. Turkeys were frightening away the deer (turkeys were rampant this year), so when deer season ended, turkeys were not an issue (one deer bagged, no thanks to turkeys!). One must love the logistics of the hunt.

good places for "Meet & Greet" dates -- Brentwood/Westwood/WLA/Santa Monica
I'm doing a lot of online dating and meeting my dates at Starbucks for the obligatory "meet and greet" first date is getting kind of old. I'm looking for two main types of places in WLA that are comfortable places for a casual date that can last as little as 30-45-60 minutes, but if things go well, can last a long time :
-- Coffee/Tea and or Dessert places (besides Literati and Coral Tree Cafe in Brentwood)
-- Drinks, appetizers, small plates, wine bar, lounge that has food or happy hour (not Palamino in Westwood!) -- it can be attached to a full-on restaurant but doesn't NEED to be an actual restaurant
The areas that I am looking for include:
Brentwood (especially near 405/Sunset as this is close to home), Westwood, Century City, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, Marina del Rey
Thank you -- whomever suggests a place where I meet my future husband is invited to the wedding! :-)
Wilshire is a good option. When you enter you are in a nice bar area that has tables surrounding. You can meet there and have a drink, and they serve both a bar menu and food from the restaurant there. They also had a $15 special dinner, at least on weekdays -- I'm not certain that is still going on. If things go great, you can progress to dinner in the restaurant.
re: andytseng
Love their food but the atmosphere (loud, long lines for everything, squished in like sardines--no room for private conversation) would, I think, make it a difficult/awkward place for a first date.
HOWEVER -- I am really glad you mentioned them anyway...it makes me realize that going to Rustic Canyon across the street for a glass of wine at the bar, or for dessert, would be very nice!
re: AAQjr
Of course, I forgot that Cafe Luxxe has another location there---I've been by this one but never been in. Thank you.
Doesn't hurt that it's right next to Sweet Rose Creamery either :-)
And if the date went REALLY well, Villeta is just across the street!
I always forget about Amandine. I've had some great baked goods there, a not-that-great cuppa tea (I'm a big tea drinker) and some not-that-great food. I think it may have some of the same issues as Huckleberry in terms of atmosphere. Of course, that doesn't stop me from wanting their croissants!
Sweet Rose Creamery
225 26th St #51, Los Angeles, CA 90049
re: sablouwho
You are right about Amandine's croissants -- best in town, and only $1.95 takeout. While their omelettes and sandwiches are nothing special to me, their quiche and french toast are both excellent -- the foods to get there.
re: yogachik
Bar Toscana is a great suggestion!!!!

re: silence9
Hi Silence--thanks for speaking up :-) I've seen Lemonade in Venice and on Beverly and have always been curious, and indeed, the new Brentwood location is very convenient for me. You've inspired me to go check it out. Sounds WAY more interesting that the Starbucks that is just a few blocks down. The beverages sound great!
The ink is drying on your invitation :-)
re: silence9
having participated in a number of these meet-n-greets,
i'd avoid lemonade and all other places that involve taking a tray, standing in line, jockeying for a table, etc.
i prefer any decent hotel coffee shop/snack bar/lounge/ lobby-lounge at which there is a waitstaff to bring your food/drink to you and at whcih there is a likelyhood of a nice vacant table being available.
i HATE standing around with a paper coffee cup looking for a place to sit, standing there juggling coffee and my purse.
also, for any kind of preliminary date, i will always try to avoid being in a cafeteria-type situation.
also, during the day, i try to avoid any restaurant/coffee shop that is likely to be inundated with the stroller brigade.
re: westsidegal
All good points, westsidegal. (thumbs up).
re: westsidegal
Good points, Westsidegal. Maybe I will just go to Lemonade by myself--I got excited about the menu when I read it, but didn't realize it was "cafeteria style".
Hmmm...I've recently been to the Luxe Hotel on Sunset for a few of these meet and greets (one of them was with a guy who actually WILL get a second date if he asks, which I am sensing he might :-) -- it's close to home, and you get 3 hours free valet w/bar or restaurant validation, so all I have to pay for parking is the tip for the valet--a great deal! If it weren't for the construction/closure of South Church Lane @ Sunset, I could actually walk to the Luxe. (Or to the Angeleno, for that matter). Of course, walking would mean I wouldn't want to wear heels that were too high...
Since you are (or were) doing the same dating thing that I am--if you have any specific locations that you think are particularly great that you can share I'd be most appreciative.
I basically live very close to the 405/Sunset (ground zero for Carmageddon--it will no doubt be a fun weekend--eek!) so if you (or anyone else reading) has a location nearby this area, that would be terrific.
I am liking another poster's suggestion upthread for Bar Toscana, and West at the Angeleno is also another hotel that fits the description of what you suggest, though I don't know about parking validation and again--due to construction right now I cannot safely cross Sunset on foot to get there.
Any thoughts on Bel Air Bar & Grill?
Toscana Restaurant
11633 San Vicente Blvd Ste 100, Los Angeles, CA 90049
re: sablouwho
i have a favorite place near my house, but it's way too far from you.
i absolutely recommend that you stay near your own neighborhood for these meet-n-greets.
sadly, i don't live anywhere near you so can't make any really good recommendations.
that said, even though i'm not a fan of their food, the closest "proper environment" place that i can think of to you is still far: westside tavern on pico. i'd imagine that they'd be OK with having you take up a table to order just coffee and dessert. the restaurant is pretty enough, and, in my experience, their service is so slow that there is virtually no chance that they would rush you.
re: sablouwho
Bel Air Bar & Grill is no longer in business. I agree with others who have recommended Tavern. There is a terrific bar menu and the drinks are good, seating is comfortable and service is friendly. Very nice ambiance. Great desserts if you just want to meet initially, for dessert. The homemade Snickers bar is to die for.
re: maudies5
Thanks for the update re: Bel Air Bar & Grill. I sure hope a new (and yummy) resto opens up in that location as it is very close to home. I only went there a few times in the 10 years I've been living in the neighborhood--it was never the kind of place that drew me in, despite excellent proximity and nice atmosphere.
re: westsidegal
So, it's too late to amend my OP, but I'd like to say that I am really looking for places other than those that are -so- casual that one must stand in line to order/pay at the counter, grabbing a tray, and so on. My bad for not being able to articulate this from the get-go.
I guess I'm just looking for some new places to try that are interesting and non-corporate, perhaps a little sophisticated/interesting/unusual without being stuffy or formal.
The exception to the "no ordering at the counter" preference is not ironclad though, just a guideline, as I'd hate to not hear about neat places such as, say, Balconi Coffee Company...which is the style of place that could work for a meet-n-greet because it's nice, non-corporate, interesting, etc.
re: sablouwho
how about the bar at West Restaurant & Lounge in the Hotel Angeleno? it's definitely close to home.
and if you ever want to venture down to Venice, the back patio at Primitivo on Abbot Kinney is lovely for small plates & wine. there's also Lilly's French Cafe...or the Novel Cafe in SM...and The Misfit - a new spot in SM - looks promising for a casual first date.

re: sablouwho
no one has mentioned Tavern's (Brentwood) bar? Totally surprised. It's got a HH scene packed with well-to-doers, so in case one date doesn't work out, you just turn your body to the left (or right).
If it goes depressingly poorly, you can walk over to Compartes and drown yourself in chocolate.
re: TonyC
LOL re: "in case one date doesn't work out, you just turn your body to the left (or right)." As well as the Compartes comment--I really like their chocolate orange slices.
Gee--maybe I should just hand out at Tavern's HH to try and meet a nice man!?
Never been to Tavern for dinner (only the Larder, and for an iced tea at the bar on an otherwise bad date) but I am about to Google their HH menu momentarily.
Still chuckling, thanks for the suggestion!
re: sablouwho
As a fellow internet dater - my one rule is that where ever i go must have valet.
Nothing worse than having a bad date (in your opinion) and then have the guy offer to walk you to your car.
I like the Avalon. Easy to have coffee, or a drink and IF it turns into a meal....the food is decent enough.
re: yummyinmytummy
EXCELLENT point, yummy! I'm laughing a laugh of recognition, but yeah, sometimes it isn't all that funny!
I looked up Avalon--do you mean the hotel in BH?
re: yummyinmytummy
OOOO. Love the Avalon HH as well (though OP skipped Beverly Hills). Chef Mirko has finally found a home in Avalon and you can't really go wrong with blue drinks paired with $5 lil pizzas. That said, the eensy bar is crowded with (sometimes nutty) locals, and the lounge seems a LIL too conducive to friskiness. Great if you dude(tte) is hot, not so way if they're still wearing Drakkar Noir.
Valet is free for diners.
re: yummyinmytummy
i'm of the opposite opinion on this one.
once i had a meet-n-greet at the ritz carlton in marina del rey.
i ended up having to pay $16 to get my car from their valet even WITH validation.
would have preferred to have spent that $16 on a truffle pizza and a drink at cafe del rey happy hour.....
re: yummyinmytummy
ha! that is an excellent point. i had a couple of pretty bad first dates at Avalon years ago when i lived in BH - i think i have a mental block against recommending it :)
other ideas in BH - Nic's on Canon Drive, Bar 210 in the Beverly Hilton...and if the first date goes well, Bar Noir is a great spot for drinks for a second date ;)
re: maudies5
Will reconsider Brentwood. It's certainly close by and the food was decent--certainly good enough for a drink/appetizer or impromptu meal. I find it gets pretty noisy there and that the bar area is small, but maybe if I'm careful what days of the week (avoiding obviously busy evenings) then it would be ok.
Let's face it--I'm all for places that are close to home--I'm lazy when it comes to wanting to drive far for a meet-n-greet. I've been lucky that most of the men have been willing to venture out in my direction!
re: TonyC
LOL, Tony! Mon night I went to Bar Toscana in Brentwood -- terrific place for a meet-n-greet--thanks to whomever made that suggestion. Had a bellini, the cheese plate and a lasagna slider. (I don't recommend the lasagna). Nice, attractive man but for reasons I won't go into, I doubt he will ask me out again so I don't think there will be a second date.
Now, on Sun night, I had a second, late night, impromptu date just steps away from Bar Toscana, at the Coral Tree Cafe. (Our first date had been drinks at the Luxe Hotel). Both dates seem to have gone well and I'm hoping to be asked out for a 3rd...which I am hoping won't be so impromptu, and will be over dinner...I'm at the stage where I would feel comfortable letting him pick me up at home (but certainly not inviting him in, LOL, not near ready for that).
The Coral Tree guy teaches a good lesson--while location of dates is important, who I am with is even more important! Had I been on a date with a man in whom I was less interested, Coral Tree would have been "meh". But since the chemistry was there, the patio of CTC felt kind of magical! (The nice kiss(es) I got goodnight didn't hurt either :-)

re: sablouwho
The problem with The Brentwood is you wont be able to see your date. Darkest place in town. Divina accross the way, is quieter and although they dont have a sit down bar they do serve liquor and have a nice wine list. If you want to stay for dinner the food is exceptional and the mood is relaxed.
re: BSW6490
Divina is yum indeed. It isn't suitable for a meet-n-greet precisely because it lacks a bar area--one really only goes there to eat a meal, but for "real" dinner date, it's a PERFECT spot!
Totally agree w/you about The Brentwood's being so darned dark. AND noisy for that matter. Not ideal for a meet-n-greet due to these twin factors but do-able because there is a bar area.
i'm in the same (slow-sailing) boat. i won't commit to a meal for first meets either... a practice established for good reason.
in Beverly Hills, i love to go to Bouchon Bistro or Bar Bouchon outside. it's great people watching. small bites if desired, alcohol if wanted... needed.
also in BH, the Crescent Hotel has a lovely patio out front, esp in the summer.
one last BH rec, Honor Bar. jazz, booze, walkability after...
second Cafe Luxxe, Wilshire... really don't like the Brentwood (feels like Dirty Mistress club all the time).
i wish you luck... too bad we can't all team up and mass shop and distribute the right suitors to the right partners... where is ChowDate.com anyway?

re: goodhealthgourmet
...and somewhere in there (for me), a tolerance for others' tastes and willing to prepare/cook/bake things i don't like.
to keep this on topic, i have used Mariscos Chente as a litmus test... if you don't like the idea of me ordering raw shrimp with the heads still on... well...
when a recent date told me he liked all sorts of ethnic fare, and wanted to go to Mako (recommended by one of his co-workers), i was happy. then i ordered something raw, and he said, "well you won't be kissing me tonight." and i thought about and said, "i'm okay with that."

There was a Kevin Kline film called "The January Man" in which he played a former detective turned firefighter who would cook dinners for his dates consisting of decidedly non-mainstream dishes in order to determine who was a good match for him. While I have not gone to that extreme, I will admit to being biased in favor of women who are more eclectic (or at least open) when it comes to food. Restaurants like Lukshon, Orris, Picca and, to a lesser degree, Upstairs 2 are good for testing a first date's tolerances...as well as whether they are sharers.

re: goodhealthgourmet
to add...
i've learned particular fear when i hear the words, "i want to take you to the best ______ restaurant." this is also generally followed by some permutation of "you'll be so glad you know me, and i opened your eyes to this unbelievably, incredibly fabulous place that you never knew about (even as a native who has spent most of my life here)." dates i've been offered (or taken upon): sushi mon, el cholo, barney's beanery....
on the flip side, i've been happily wined and dined (most recently) at Bouchon, K-Zo, Wilshire, Pane e Vino, Playa, Gjelina, and Mariscos Chente, Huckleberry, Piccolo Paradiso, Kiyokawa, etc. too bad none of these fellows proved long term. they started off well.

re: moreplease
no longer doing the dance, but can suggest…
208 rodeo - nice outside patio and interesting people watching
via alloro - on canon has a nice patio/lounge/restaurant with good happy hour
scarpetta - at the montage happy hour nice patio
sidebar - which is at the beverly wilshire next to cut, good cocktails/drinks and great food
and of course, the obligatory and ageless, nic's martini lounge
re: moreplease
Honor Bar makes me sick.
Culina's bar has one of the most horrific clientele set in the nabe.
Spago has a new "ingredient driven" cocktail menu.
On the opposite of the spectrum, Momed serves beer and wine, and it closes early, so if your date sucks you can use the restaurant's closing hour to boot his/her ass to the curb.
re: moreplease
the not-so-quite successful crowd, the absolutely shitty burger, the half-assed cocktails, the waitresses that are space cadets; basically, everything wrong with a chained steakhouse.
Why bother when there's bar bouchon and Spago Bar, or Sidebar (where the suits aren't cheap)? I mean, really, total ick.
re: TonyC
kind of harsh on the first point gotta say.
i don't care about what suits other folks wear. foodwise, kind of pricey for what it is and i miss the hamlet that used to be there. Even less successful crowd i guess too.
sidebar has a lot of the same "clientele" and "professionals" as some of the other noted hotel bars in 90210, unlike honor bar.
re: moreplease
For what it's worth, I found Honor Bar fine. Didn't eat anything there, but the drinks were strong enough. It's a little loud, but hey, it's a bar.
re: wienermobile
are they going to demolish that sucker to for the movie theater ???????/
if you happen to have any info ?????
thanks man.

We live in a time when bullying is at the front and center of attention. And it should be. Kids who do not follow social-norm rules are sometimes subject to ridicule, alienation, or even, yes, bullying. How do we protect those brave kids? And, perhaps more importantly, how do we teach all of the kids around them to question those social-norm rules in the first place?
Here's a selection of particularly good books publishing in September 2013, selected from over 100 new and notable books that are previewed on BookBrowse.
If you're looking for a book or two to pack into the beach bag this summer, look no further! Here are a dozen exceptional books that have already published in hardcover and ebook that will release in paperback in July and August (which also means that the ebook price will likely be reduced too).
Looking for a book with Jewish content for the teenager in your life? Chances are most of the books you'll find are about the Holocaust. From The Diary of Anne Frank to Sarah's Key to The Book Thief there's endless titles for the teenage (and adult) to choose from. Holocaust stories, despite the horror, make gripping tales of survival. But isn't it all too much? All these Holocaust books can overwhelm a reader. Is there nothing else in Jewish history or culture worth reading about, other than the Holocaust? What about the other centuries of Jewish history, ripe for historical fiction? What about the myriad of stories about contemporary Jewish teens? Where are those books? Well, if you're like me and you've had it with Holocaust tales, here are my top ten Jewish books (in no particular order) for teens and young adults, and the young at heart.

May 12th is Mother's Day in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and upwards of 70 other countries. But not in the UK where Mother's Day happened almost two months ago in early March - catching me off guard, as it has in many previous years. I've lived in the USA for twenty years but grew up in England, where my parents still live and, despite my best intentions, more years than I'm willing to admit I'm wrong footed by Mother's Day - not least because "Mothering Sunday", as it is traditionally known, is a movable feast, celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, which can be anytime from early March to early April.
You'll find more about the history of Mother's Day in the USA and Mothering Sunday in Britain below, but first whether you're a mother, have a mother, or are just on the hunt for your next great read, here are a few book suggestions to inspire:

Natixis Global Asset Management expands Canadian business
Related fund data links
Natixis Global Asset Management has launched a new business development initiative in Canada, which will focus on tapping the steadily growing Canadian institutional market.
Natixis is looking to forge and strengthen relationships with institutional and sub-advisory clients throughout the region.
"We are confident that our proven ability to help manage risk through our Durable Portfolio Construction approach will resonate with pension funds, endowments and foundations seeking ways to protect their clients from volatility," says John Hailer, chief executive officer of Natixis Global Asset Management in the Americas and Asia. "The current Canadian institutional market, estimated to be USD1.5 trillion and growing, is a diverse market that pairs well with the investment solutions available through our worldwide network of affiliated investment managers."
The firm's business development effort will initially focus on the institutional markets in Ontario and Quebec. Montreal-based Roxane St-Martin, senior vice president, institutional services, and Boston-based Ian Macduff, senior vice president, institutional services, will co-manage the Natixis Canadian distribution efforts.
St-Martin brings more than 16 years in asset management experience to the position, and has served with Natixis in the US, Paris and her native Canada. She joined Natixis Asset Management in Paris in 2009, becoming head of wholesale in 2010.

Return to story
PERHAPS ALL of our advancements in science, medicine, and technology have heightened our frustration when we're faced with issues we can't fix or even understand.
My friend Mark battled mental illness for more than 20 years, but the best efforts of big-city doctors were no match for its insidiousness. They might have finally begun to help, but they could never heal.
Mark and I started our careers together in 1976 with a chain of small newspapers on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He was a sports writer there, but a few years later decided to advance his career by taking a job as police reporter in newspaper-competitive Tidewater Virginia.
We stayed in touch well enough that I knew he was being pressed by his editor to be more aggressive on his beat. I knew Mark was not the sort to assert himself that way, but I was not prepared when he called one morning to say that he had done away with his editor.
He had not, of course, but so began a saga of evolving diagnoses and changing medications that ended when he died last month at age 48.
When Mark and I were starting out on the Shore, it so happened that the company was doing a lot of hiring at the time, and many of the new staffers were around the same age and unattached. We grew into a close-knit group, becoming friends as well as colleagues. Though we've gone our separate ways over the years and many of us have families of our own, enough links in the chain remain that we've generally kept track of one another's whereabouts and well-being.
Many of us shared concerns about Mark. He reached out with letters, and we would write back. I suppose his situation prevented him from joining us in the Internet age, so he was for some of us the last true pen pal.
Over the years he was diagnosed as schizophrenic, then manic-depressive, which now is referred to as bipolar. I lost track of all the medications he said had been prescribed for him.
He eventually tried to return to work as a sportswriter with our former newspaper on the Eastern Shore. It was an admirable gesture by that company, providing Mark with the head start of a familiar setting with familiar faces.
But it didn't last long. Mark soon returned home again to Philadelphia for treatment. At one point, a group of us paid him a visit and took him out to a Phillies game at Veterans Stadium.
In spite of it all, we discovered Mark had retained the sharp wit and cynicism that had made him a newspaper natural. His mind vacuumed up facts and statistics in a way that would make any sports fan envious.
He recalled the details of the times we shared with uncanny accuracy. In his letters and in our phone conversations he would recount the events of a particular evening that I had long since forgotten. Those times when he was quiet I know now he was taking it all in; when he saw the humor in something, we would all know from his unmistakable laugh.
If it was so baffling to us why this illness would target our friend and trouble him so, it must have been wrenching for him to see a normal life as something to which he could only aspire.
Unable to drive or hold down a paying job, he volunteered for years at a Philadelphia hospital, helping others while doing his best to keep his own mind occupied.
It was obvious from his letters that he took pride in that work, and it was also clear from the matter-of-fact descriptions of his treatment that he was never about to give into his illness.
Though we had traded letters since, the last time I talked to Mark was when he called last fall to say his mother had died. Throughout his illness, she had helped him along, so I knew her death was difficult for him.
He had been through so much over the years that when he was feeling physically sick last month, I'm sure he felt it was something he would work himself through. But it was more serious than he knew. By the time he sought medical help, the blockage in his intestine had become infected, and the infection had spread to the point that doctors were helpless to do anything but relieve the intense pain.
As I was enjoying the first day of a week's vacation at the beach, my friend in Philadelphia was dying. The next day, he was dead.
In the weeks since, Mark's legacy has been to bring our circle of friends closer than it has been in years. There's even talk of a reunion. He would appreciate that, because for so long his letters had made him information central. With his passing, we realize how much we miss one another and how much we will miss Mark as we recall fondly the times we shared and learn more about where our lives have taken us.
That doesn't make us special. On the contrary, we're typical of old friends whose ties are renewed upon the death of one of their own.
We just didn't think it would happen so soon.
RICHARD AMRHINE is a writer and editor with The Free Lance-Star.

Local source for large, widemouthed jars or crocks?
- carswell Jan 8, 2010 08:06 AM
We're having trouble finding affordable glass or earthenware containers suitable for storing, say, four or more large confit duck legs or big batches of kimchi, sauerkraut and pickles. Any ideas as to where we might look in the central Montreal area? One-litre widemouthed mason jars are too small for even two duck legs unless you knock off the bottom half of the leg bone, which we don't want to do, so I'd guess we'd want sizes from 1.5 litres on up. Thanks!
re: carswell
I just checked Aubut`s catalog online (http://www.aubut.ca/pdf/catalogue.pdf) and the biggest jars they currently have are 1 litre. I had bought jars of 1.5l.
re: berbatov
I have looked and looked for ceramic 'pickle' crocks and have had absolutely zero luck. I found a couple of old ceramic cookie jars at the St. Michel flea market but nothing a whole lot better. If you do find a place please please post your source. Shipping those damned this is expensive!
I used to save those glass jars from the gallon bottles of Mrs. Whites Pickles. You can get that size of pickles & marachino cherries at wholesale cash & Carry like Aubut & Mayrands, then reuse the jars.
We didn't find earthenware crocks anywhere.
Aubut was a strikeout. Monas had large (5-gallon?), heavy pyrex crocks with pyrex lids. The Rona store on Côte-des-Neiges (and probably its sister store on Parc at Bernard) had widemouthed mason-type jars in various sizes (1, 2, 3 and 4 litres), the kind with glass lids, removable rubber rings and wire hinges and clamps. The 3-litre jar had a squarish footprint; the others' footprints were circular.
re: carswell
Carswell--- I'm wondering if any of the Chinatown shops might have giant or large ceramic ginger jars that might suit your purposes. I'm not heading down there till saturday, so I can't check right away for you.
I remember my sister-in-law used to have large ceramic jars to use to make ginseng soup by using the large canister-style soup maker in a large pot as a double-boiler. They might also be acceptable for the usage you're wanting.
I found some at the kitchen store on Mount Royal, south side, not far from Tony Pappas. I forget what it's called! But they're super nice, reasonable, and have tons of stuff. Nothing fancy, but they have the type of glass containers you're looking for.

Whelan laughs off Moses offer
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has accused Chelsea of "taking the Mickey" with their bid for winger Victor Moses.
Whelan confirmed the Champions League winners made an offer, reported to be £4million, on Monday night which was immediately rejected. The Nigeria international has only 12 months of his contract remaining and while talks have stalled on a new deal Whelan is not prepared to allow the 21-year-old to leave on the cheap.
"Chelsea would need to get realistic before we would even listen to them," he told ESPN.

Now, while battery depletion under heavy load is perfectly normal, it does force you to keep a keen eye on CPU usage in the OSX Activity Monitor. That's how I noticed that while idle, NetBeans IDE was taking about 16% of my CPU... doing nothing really.
The first thing I wanted to know was what was going on in there? So I took VisualVM, connected it to the NetBeans IDE instance, and forced a Thread Dump:
This basically is a list of stack traces for all the threads, so that you can see the application's current state of execution. In my case, I probably didn't press the button at the right time, since I caught the threads all in a WAITING state, meaning that not much CPU should have been used:
Well, since the thread dump is just a quick snapshot, it was clear that I wasn't going to get a good view of what was consuming CPU, so I went to the heavy weight option: CPU Profiling.

California man finds shelter from the storm
It took Californian Mario Landeros over seven months and 1800 miles, but now he knows what real Southern hospitality looks like.
Last Tuesday, January 15, Landeros was warming up and using the Blue & White Restaurant's wi fi connection, when Tunica Humane Society director Sandy Williams stopped in for a food order.
"I saw Landeros' cart out front and the sign on it that reads 'Walking across America for St. Jude,' so I went up and introduced myself," Williams said.
Landeros, pushing a cart across America to raise funds for St. Jude, landed in the restaurant on the worst weather night so far this winter. Sleet and freezing rain began pelting Landeros as he made his way west from Coldwater, MS and into Tunica County via Prichard Road.

A little about me...
I am a small business owner, specializing in consulting with organizations on the meetings and conferences. It fits my personality of being very detailed and percise. I live in a waterfront community, part of the year on my sailboat and part in my condo on a island, with my dog and 2 cats. My passions include sailing and my pets. Also, I love to travel and experience new locales. My desire is to be half of a great partnership in life, enjoying all the things that come our way.
About the one I'm looking for...
As I am of slender build, am looking for someone similar and with a love or an interest in sailing, so I can have a co-captain to explore the waterways and islands of our area. As this adventure puts us in very close proximity (40 ft Sail Boat), it also would be nice knowing a person that is neat and organzied. Love of animals is also important
and travel to nice places.
I'd just like to add...

Lake Wilderness drowning victim identified
The 7-year-old girl who drowned in a Spotsylvania County lake Friday evening has been identified by her father as Makayla Carter.
The father, Deaundrey Carter, said Saturday in a telephone interview with The Free Lance–Star that he is in disbelief about the death of his daughter.
The Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office said in a news release early Saturday that divers recovered the body of the girl about 10:30 p.m. from the waters at Lake Wilderness in western Spotsylvania County.
According to Capt. Jeff Pearce of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office, deputies first arrived about 8:30 p.m. to a call about a missing young girl.
The family of the girl had been searching the area for about a half-hour, when they called the 911 center.
Deputies began the search for the missing child and discovered, through contacts and interviews, that the child had been seen in or near the water near the sandy beach, shortly before she disappeared, Pearce said.
The Spotsylvania County Fire Department's rescue and dive team responded to the location within minutes, he said.
After a search of the water around the beach area of the community clubhouse, the body of the girl was discovered by Fire Department divers, Pearce said.
The remains were transported from the scene for examination at the State Medical Examiner's Office in Richmond.
The girl was part of a large crowd that had gathered in the area for a Fourth of July fireworks show on the lake, Pearce said.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Covenant Funeral Services in Fredericksburg.

It is not just Sun Yu's 6 foot-upwards frame that looms on Saina Nehwal's badminton horizon, menacingly piercing her defences from right across the net. It isn't just the increasing number of 1 hour-plus matches she's labouring through, having played out the longest women's singles match of the China Open at Shanghai this week. Saina Nehwal is staring at a distinctly underwhelming year-end, even as she's dropped from No.3 in the world rankings to No.7 in a space of four months.
As such, you needn't read too deeply into badminton's rankings — the Chinese regularly slide down steeply and reclaim their Top 5 slots, owing to their precise choice of tournaments in which they pick bulk points. But what must worry Nehwal — whose fame and fortune have been based on consistency (she's been in the Top 10 for close to five years now, in Top 5 for the most part) — is how the external factors: her opponents, average match durations, variety of contenders from different nations, have rapidly changed even as her game battles its own set of pressures.
Firstly, for a player whose entire game has relied on fitness, the spurt of injuries and niggles are career-debilitating, if not entirely career-threatening. After the knee and toe, now it's a Achilles heel. What even slight niggles do is prolong recovery time, and matches like the 1 hr 15 minute-marathon that she was dragged into by Sun Yu, appear even longer as the decisive points stop going your way. Twice in the match, she attempted recoveries with a 7-straight-point surge, but she was also conceding momentum handing the 6'1" player an 11-point sweep mid-match that couldn't have helped her confidence.
For Nehwal now the real tests are lined up at the Super Series level, where she's scored her most inspiring wins over the last few years.
PV Sindhu's bronze medal at the Worlds had helped Nehwal escape the scrutiny then. But with the CWG and Asiad scheduled for the next year, she'll need to reconsider her priorities while choosing tournaments. 2014's a slippery year, even without the ankle acting up and unsteadying her further.

Wonderful play, well directed and acted. Better done than ACT 30 years ago.
Family secrets are dragged out into the light of day in a remote farmhouse. Dodge has lost control as the patriarch of the family and the mother, Halie, is in a not so hush-hush affair with their pastor. A heinous act, years ago, tore the family apart and killed all of the crops in the field. It all bubbles to the surface in a heartbreaking conclusion.

WASHINGTON – In her first meeting as Federal Reserve chair this week, Janet Yellen will put her stamp on policy by reaching for a favorite tool of central bankers: words intended to guide markets in the direction policymakers want.
For more than a year, the Fed has kept monetary policy easy with assurances that its main interest rate won't rise at least as long as unemployment exceeds 6.5 percent and the outlook for inflation is no more than 2.5 percent.
That guidance is almost obsolete: while unemployment is forecast to fall below the threshold this year, most Fed officials don't foresee a rate increase until 2015.
Yellen's challenge is to replace the threshold with guidance that's less specific while also making it clear that rates won't rise any time soon.
If the Fed retreats to language that investors find vague and economic data comes in strong, traders are likely to move forward their estimate of when the central bank will raise rates, creating volatility in financial markets.
Getting rid of the thresholds requires the committee to do something to keep the market in place, said Laurence Meyer, a former Fed governor who is now senior managing director at forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisers in Washington. It is going to be quite volatile out there. What they are trying to do is prevent the markets from pushing up the timing of the rate increases.
Volatility on interest rates of less than two years could affect borrowing costs across the economy, especially on transactions where long-term debt is financed with short-term borrowing.
The Fed's interest-rate thresholds have helped lower financing costs for companies whose bonds are rated below investment grade, or less than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or BBB by Standard & Poor's.
Yields on speculative-grade bonds have shrunk to within 3.82 percentage points of U.S. government securities on average, down from 5.29 percentage points when the Fed put the thresholds in place on Dec. 12, 2012, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
Analysts at Barclays studied the market for two-year forward rates on two-year swap yields to measure the impact of expectations for changes in the Fed's benchmark interest rate, or the overnight rate for loans between banks.
The analysis shows that volatility, or the expected size and frequency of interest-rate moves, remained low after the Fed put the thresholds in place and began to rise as unemployment fell closer to the Fed's 6.5 percent goal.
Less forward guidance could mean more uncertainty about the path of the Fed's benchmark rate, said Michael Gapen, a senior U.S. economist at Barclays in New York.
If it is volatility because we don't understand their reaction-function, then that is not good, he said.
Unemployment was 6.7 percent in February, and the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg is for a decline to 6.2 percent in the fourth quarter.
Consumer prices rose 1.2 percent in January from a year earlier, according to a measure closely watched by the Fed.

When you get your vehicle repaired there is almost always some sort of labor charge associated with the job. Obviously labor is the work side of the repair and the starting point is the labor rate of the shop.
In most cases, the labor rates are between $90 and $120 per hour, depending on the shop and the type of work being done. The labor rate is based not only on what the technician makes per hour, but additional costs that the shop has to pay such as subscriptions to information databases, shop management software, training for techs and equipment. This can easily add up to thousands of dollars per month for the shop.
The labor charges you pay also help cover administrative staff in the office, insurance on the building and employees and others costs of doing business for the shop. When an estimate is being put together, the shop uses a database of labor information that has just about every type of labor operation for every type of vehicle. This labor information is called the flat rate, which is how much time it should take an experienced mechanic to do that particular job.
For example, replacing a water pump on one vehicle might only be 1.2 flat rate hours and on a different vehicle it might be 2.7 flat rate hours. The shop uses the flat rate labor information for your particular vehicle along with the price of the part to come up with an estimated cost of the repair.
Overlapping labor is a term that's used when two parts need to be replaced and they are located in the same area. Replacing them at the same time is cheaper than replacing them separately because the labor charge will be lower.
A good example is replacing a water pump and a timing belt on many front-wheel drive vehicles. The shop should not look up flat rate labor time to replace the water pump and then add it to the flat rate labor time to replace the timing belt because most of the labor is duplicated to replace both of them at the same time.
Diagnostic time is one of the most misunderstood labor costs because it can be hard to comprehend how long it takes for a mechanic to get to the bottom of an issue. Many people think that mechanics can hook up their computer scanner and see exactly what the problem is, but that's far from the truth. The scanner gives the mechanic codes and data to interpret along with information related to which system on the vehicle is acting up. But it still can take a substantial amount of time to diagnose the problem and come up with a repair plan. This is why you will see "diagnostic time" on many repair bills these days.
Labor charges will always be a part of repairing vehicles, so don't be afraid to ask the shop questions if you don't quite understand what's being done on your vehicle. Your mechanic should always be able to take the time to explain the repairs to you on every job.

It is true that to immigrate from one place to another is not that much easy as we think. Really to be a legal resident of any country is not an apply for green card easy task, but then people think that it is possible to be a citizenship of their dream land in which USA is one of the such wonderful lands.
The yearly green card dv lottery or USAFIS Diversity Visa or DV lottery program is an opportunity for immigrants to gain permanent legal resident status in the USA. This program runs every year and makes available 50,000 green cards to applicants indiscriminately selected in a dv lottery process branded as the Green Card DV Lottery. A Green Card is a permanent residence visa and awards a person the legal right to live, work and study permanently in the United States of America. read more
To enter the DV-2014 Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery you must be native of a country with a low immigration rate to the USA to qualify for the USA Diversity Visa Lottery People born in countries with high U.S. immigration are excluded from this Diversity Visa Lottery. Please see the list below of countries whose natives are currently excluded from the USA Diversity Lottery. Please note that eligibility is determined only by the country of your birth, not based on country of citizenship or current residence. This is the most common misperception."
People who missed to apply for a green card through green card lottery program last year can again apply this year. The application process for the Diversity Visa Lottery 2012 will start in October, 2010. This information is given on Department of State's website. The website also confirms that entrants will have to apply on Form DS-5501 (Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form). However, this form will be available on website only during the DV open registration period.
Every year, many people want to immigrate to the United States. One of the most popular ways to legally immigrate to the USA is t

Over 19 years ago, one year after the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Swix launched the Cera Nova wax system. This was a result of comprehensive testing performed before and during the Olympics that made it possible to put together a unique and logical wax system based on four different temperature ranges. Ranging from hydrocarbon- to high fluor waxes, the Cera Nova System covered all the needs of a serious skier for both training and high-level competition. By its intuitive build up, the skier could easily find the right choice for their needs within the range. For the first time, Alpine and Nordic (both for skating and classic) skiing were under one unique wax system.
Since that launch, Cera Nova has been the best selling wax system in the world. Its popularity stretches from World Cup Racing Service Technicians to skiing enthusiast. The system has been the recipe of success in all major championships over the last two decades and anchored by our famous Cera F, the wax that has won more Olympic and World Championship medals than any other wax in the world.
Over the years the system has been through several updates and modifications, all necessary in order to keep up with the advancement of raw materials, synthesis of fluoro and the development within waxing, in order to maintain the undisputed position as the world's best wax system.
Even with this successful history, Swix decided to launch a new wax project 3 years ago. The total Project Team was comprised of over 20 members ranging from Product Developers, Scientist from R&D, World Cup Racing Service Teams, and wax technicians from around the world. The mission was clear, we didn't just want to introduce a few new waxes or make visual changes to the existing line, we wanted to completely renew the existing Cera Nova line, and the new project was given the name Cera Nova X!
The project was divided into three sub projects: Testing, Packaging and Design. Among them, there was no doubt that discovering better performing wax formulations was the biggest task. We wanted to challenge existing wax formulations in the Cera Nova system in order to evaluate and conclude if changes were required. To get the assessment basis for this job we performed over 800 clinical tests at major ski destinations all around the globe, in all temperature ranges, both for Nordic and alpine skiing. This was the one and only way of putting the old system to the ultimate test and it required a tremendous effort from our Racing Service team and our R&D department. In order to keep viable statistics as the basis of the project, we started off with an advanced test plan for everyone to follow. This was key to discovering which original waxes could stay in the system and which waxes required improvement. From the ski tunnel in Torsby (Sweden) to Sochi (Russia) and Canmore (Canada) our Racing team has delivered test reports in all kinds of snow conditions more or less throughout the whole year.
In addition to our internal testing, project test waxes have been tested on the World Cup circuit for the past two years. The close collaboration with the service men and their valuable test feedback has contributed as a quality assurance of our own internal testing.
In the history of Swix there has never been a similar test effort before. A huge number of glide tests have been performed, analyzed, and compiled into our massive database; all for the purpose of finding the small margins that make the whole difference. During the spring of 2014 the first deliveries from the Cera Nova X will leave our production facilities at Lillehammer, Norway. Our production team is highly experienced, and every new wax leaving our production facility will be of outstanding quality. It will be filled in a new innovative package, which includes inner marking, stronger side support and a hinged lock.
With a complete new design expression, inspired by the X in our brand name, we believe the final product will meet the highest expectations from the market and set a new standard for ski wax during the next decade. Enjoy skiing with Cera NovaX wax – Your winning margin! Each wax in the Cera Nova system is identified by: • category • number • color • ironing temperature • temperature range NOTE: All Swix temperatures are air temperatures in the shadow. Cera Nova Waxes are designed to provide optimal balance of: • Water repellency. • Resistance to snow crystal abrasion. • Base penetration and bonding capacity. • Resistance to dirt. • Temperature range consistency. • Anti-Static and Oxidation properties. In turn, these are supported and updated by The Swix Racing Service and Test Teams and critical feedback from the leading World Cup Service Technicians.
