Review: Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 WinPro 8 tablet
In the UK, Panasonic is not known as a high-street PC player - but the company's Tough range of products makes quite an impression in the world of business. Out in the field you'll spot them in the hands of BT engineers and the like where the manufacturer's rugged laptops, and now tablets, survive the rigours of white-van man …
Nice looking hardware
...shame about the OS (which is pants).
Wait a minute...
...They want how much for it? WTF?
Let me think... what else can I buy for £1900?
Re: Nice looking hardware
Are you kidding? It is the fuggliest thing I have seen in a long time.....

>Are you kidding? It is the fuggliest thing I have seen in a long time.....
Yeah, cos other kit this PC will be used with is known for being beautiful.
(Well, I do like those shiny red Snap-On tool cabinets)
Re: Nice looking hardware
Try the K-Wagen test with your iPad, then tell me the Panasonic is still fuggly.
We used to use Husky portables, which makes the Panasonic look like a bargain. Still, if your Mercedes K-Wagen gets stuck in a field, you can wedge the tablet under a wheel and use it a leverage to get out of the rut. You then just need to pick up your tablet, go to the nearest stream, dunk it in the water to wash it off, then you can carry on working, where you left off...
The only drawback with the Husky was that, despite being one tough mother, if you accidentally put the battery in the wrong way round (there was no lug to ensure the correct orientation), you would blow out the motherboard!
Devices like the Toughbook and Toughpad aren't there to look nice, they are there to stand the abuse of a field engineer stuffing it in his tool box or letting it slam around in the back of his Transit, then getting caught in a downpour as he tries to fathom out the wiring in a telecoms cabinet on a street corner.
It might be more expensive than an iPad and it might not look as good, but if the enviroment it is being used in requires a tough device, it is a darned sight cheaper than buying a new iPad every couple of weeks...
It is like saying a Land Rover Defender doesn't look pretty, compared to an Audi TT... Drive both of them through a couple of thousand miles of tropical jungle and wash them down and see which one looks pretty... Oh, wait, the TT is sitting under 4' of water 950 miles back. :-D
Also, the testing process to get those certifications isn't exactly cheap. We've just been through the IP6x testing for our terminals and that adds a significant amount to the price, for additional R&D, in house testing equipment, ruined prototypes and actual testing at an acredited body. We got IP69K (it will withstand high pressure, hot water from all side - or a firehose at full power from 1M distance), but we didn't manage to get IP68 (dunk it to 1.5M depth in room temperature water); it let in about an egg-cup full of water after an hour.
(not wanting to get pulled for advertising, no company or product names)
Re: Nice looking hardware
It is the fuggliest thing I have seen in a long time.....
And this matters, exactly how?
(It's also evident that you havent recently seen a Fiat Multibarf)
If tough is what you need
Looks like they've messed up with the screen on this. I have a toughbook with an active digitzer, you can only operate it with the stylus but it's very accurate. It also means it works fine in the rain.
The ability to withstand a 4' drop doesn't sound impressive but it is when you consider what it means. This device will withstand any drop from that height onto a concrete floor. You can do it all day over and over and it won't make any difference. Now with a bit of luck most tablets would survive a 4' fall, possibly on to concrete but if you did it ten times your tablet would be probably be bust. A touchpad will most likely survive much bigger falls, you just can't do it over and over and expect nothing to happen.
Not really for home use is it?
This is more for companies that buy their field service kit by the 100s, if not 1000s.
That said it sounds quite good.
I think we are still a long way from the ultimate field service computer device that has the flexibility to capture any market.
I sort of miss the Husky, about the only laptop that had a connector for surface to air missile testing.
back of fagpacket calculation ...
... perhaps worth it in any environment where > 5% of tablets are broken per week in accidents that this model would survive?
Nice to see a serial port...
Very handy for interfacing with ancient POS bits of kit like old phone switches/PLCs and the like. I would however have preferred to be able to have both the network and serial ports connected simultaneously, for situations where WIFI is not available.
Useful in the right places
Given that some kit we send out is in use in places a week or so from the nearest point that they can send stuff back for repair some thing that improves the chance of it getting to the end of an expedition in a state the data can be recovered is a plus.
Sounds shit
Not the concept, just the implementation on this model. What's the point of a tablet that is rain-proof if you can't actually use it outside - half the use-cases involve using it in situ not repairing to the van to enter the data.
Price: Quantity vs Quality
The problem is the price. For £2,000 you can give your engineers one Toughbook, or you can buy eight netbooks. Unless they're particularly clumsy, or working in inhospitable environments, they're unlikely to chew through eight netbooks in a four year period.
Most Toughbook users only ever use them inside their vans or site offices; they aren't pressing buttons in heavy rain. For those people, a cheap netbook is a better value proposition than a Toughbook. (Obviously if you do need to press buttons in the rain, then stick with the Toughie.)
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
If the engineers are operating out of a base daily, then fair enough: balance the cost of "one tough expensive thing" failing, versus the cost "x number of cheap things failing" over a year.
However there are some rarer situations in which you have to calculate the cost of the user not having working kit with them. For example, a remote location that is time consuming and expensive to get to - thus resupply. You're probably paying an engineer a high rate to be there, and if the machine (and its backup) you've supplied him fails and he is unable to do his job without it, you'll have wasted much more than a few thousand dollars.
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
Plus data loss - it's reasonable to assume data obtained in the field is not backed up until they return.
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
As Dinosupport above points out, if your working out in the middle of nowhere a broken £200 netbook is not much use. Also, I've never seen a netbook with a proper serial port provided for interfacing with legacy hardware (and no, USB converters don't count).
It's like saying a car repair garage should buy all it's spanners from the pound shop, as they cost about 10 times less than professional grade tools, so what if a job is delayed due to you breaking 2-3 cheap spanners moving that one bolt...
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
Its rare to get anything with a real serial port these days. Even laptops with port replicators are as incompatible as the USB ones.
In saying that, most legacy hardware needs legacy software, and that doesn't like newer operating systems.
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
@Wize a lot of business grade notebooks still have serial ports on them.
The Fujitsus we buy all come with serial ports.
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
HP's Business notebooks also (Models ending with a b) nearly always have serial ports.
Re: Price: Quantity vs Quality
"The problem is the price."
Have you ever bought volume products for a company?
You buy by the 100s (or 1000s) and that price goes right the window.
Might be worth it
One of our wanna-be executives has destroyed 2 company iPads so far and is working on a third. Unfortunately all the ruggedness doesn't help when someone simply loses the device though.
Re: Might be worth it
"You can lead a manager to a decision, but you can't make him think" - BOFH, forget which one.
For a lot less money you could buy a decent tablet [fandroids and fanbois choose as appropriate] and bung it in an armoured case. My iPhone 3GS has withstood about 4 years of being rained on, dropped, covered in oil and muck, etc. with no ill-effects, thanks to being inside an Otterbox Defender case. I've never understood the point of building the "armour" into the gadget itself.
Might be interresting in 5 years
...when they reach the used market. Used Toughpads are fairly affordable. Now of course one of the main problems is the operating system. I suspect that even among the Windows crowd most of them will switch to Windows XP.
Screen brightness factor.
Two specs vital for field work that were needed to be confirmed in your test.
1. The legability of the display under direct sun light ( is 800 cd/m sq quoted in specs enough?)
2. It is capable of working in temps from -20 to 60 c & I assume high values of relative humidity by its IP65 ?
Both these factors would render most laptops, tablets & netbooks as useless for field work even before taking into consideration impact & dust/moisture resistance.
Appologies if I missed this!
Battery Hot Swap gone?
Although the battery swap on a tablet is welcome, as it is not specifically mentioned by yourselves or in their specs, the hot swap feature is not on this. Not unreasonable with weight & space constraints, but a shame none the less.
Come on El Reg!
You missed the side by side test again an iPad we were waiting for. Where you throw them both down the stairs, then drive over them, and drop them in the bath...we need a true comparison after all :D
Actually the unit has an active (inductive) pen not a capacitive one. From the looks a Wacom unit. So the "rain" problem has a 30second solution - turn of touch. For the environments this unit is designed touch is likely useless anyway between gloves and dirty hands.
And comparing a netbook (or an iThingy/Fragmentdroid toy) to this is like comparing a Trabant to a Mercedes G. This unit has stuff like internal 3G, up to 8GB of memory, full sized SSD, USB-3, WIDI/Miracast capability and a useful screen resolution. Not to mention lots of computing power and a workdays endurance.
Toughpad FZ-G1 stylus is an emf field type stylus & not a capacitive stylus
Apparently the stylus is an emf field type, and it is not a capacitive pen type. It could be a wacom or n-trig type stylus. http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughpad/us/durable-fz-g1-tablet-photos.asp
A capacitive pen has a rubber nub that compresses when pressed upon like a nipple on milk bottle

Amazon.com Review
Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.
Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
By living from the depths of this Greater Reality, Eckhart clears an energetic pathway for others to join him. -- Russell E. DiCarlo, Author of Towards a New World Conversation at the Leading Edge. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
World-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle conveys simple wisdom that transcends any particular religion, doctrine, or guru. His #1 NYT bestselling book is a modern classic in the field of personal growth and spirituality; Oprah Winfrey credits The Power of Now with helping her to "get through September 11, 2001" and she featured it on her December 2002 "Oprah's Favorite Things" show. A native of Germany, Eckhart Tolle attended the University of London, and upon graduation went on to become a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At 29, a profound spiritual awakening virtually dissolved his personal identity and sparked a radical change in the course of his life. It marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and he devoted the next decade to understanding, deepening, and integrating that transformation. For the past ten years, he has acted as a counselor and spiritual guide, facilitating sold-out groups in Europe and North America. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
From AudioFile
The author shares ideas about personal integration with uncommon eloquence and a deep understanding of the human condition. Our true identity is in our moment-to-moment experiences rather than in our past or future. Concern about anything but the present is an unhealthy identification with the mind that can only cause pain and an illusion of control. Being totally aware of ourselves in each moment actually requires little effort or direction if we stop our thoughts long enough to find the pure consciousness that exists in the gaps between them. These ideas will be radical for most Westerners, but they are so smoothly elucidated that almost all seekers of inner truth will find something of value in the program.

Ag CMS Upgrade Starts April 9
For the past several months, we have been talking about upgrading the Ag Content Management System (Ag CMS) and updating the Ag CMS theme to align with the new NDSU TYPO 3 theme launched at the start of the academic year.
We are finally ready to begin the process of upgrading the Ag CMS and updating the theme. We will be upgrading one "instance" at a time. The Ag CMS is organized in four instances: County Extension Sites, REC Sites, Academic Sites, and Topic & Other Sites. We will be upgrading the smallest instance, Academic Sites, first. The Academic Sites upgrade will begin April 9 and should be complete by April 30.
We will be following the same process for all of the Ag CMS instances:
- Notify site managers on that instance one week prior to starting upgrade.
- Copy all sites on that instance to the upgraded Ag CMS server.
Once the instance has been copied to the new server, site managers will have two Ag CMS sites: their
current site and their new site on the upgraded server.
- Site managers will have three weeks after the instance has been copied to review their new site and see how it looks in the upgraded Ag CMS and new theme. They can login to their new site and make adjustments to correct any problems with how the site looks and get the new site ready to "go live." Important: If content is added or edited on heir current site after the instance has been copied, those changes WILL NOT appear on the new site. If they add or edit content on their new site, those changes WILL NOT appear on their current site.
- Once site managers have made any necessary changes to their new site, they can make a "go live" request. When we receive the request, we will make the new site live to the public and remove the current site from public view.
Once the Academic Sites instance has been successfully upgraded, we will move on to the other instances. If you are the site manager for any site on the Ag CMS, you will receive an email at least one week in advance of the date your instance will begin the upgrade process.
The upgrade and the theme update are really two separate processes. The Ag CMS upgrade will change the software the Ag CMS is built on (Plone) from one version to another. The update to the Ag CMS theme only affects how content in the Ag CMS looks, not how it is created or maintained.
The Ag CMS upgrade should result in faster performance of the Ag CMS. Web content will be delivered more quickly to the end users, and Ag CMS content creators will be able to edit, save and publish content more quickly.
The upgrade also will improve the handling of large files. Storage of large files is something we have struggled with in Ag CMS. This upgrade will help us to quickly deliver large files to the end user and to use fewer server resources in the storage of these files.
The upgrade's most noticeable change will be to the visual editor. Ag CMS content creators use the visual editor to create and format Web content on their sites. The upgrade includes a new visual editor that promises to be more intuitive and boasts additional features (like more robust table editing) that are not part of our current visual editor.
At the same time we upgrade the Ag CMS, we will be changing the Ag CMS theme to be consistent with the theme used on other NDSU websites. For an example of the new NDSU theme, go to www.ndsu.edu/vpur.
If you have questions about the Ag CMS upgrade and theme update, please let me know.

Using Facebook As a Page Administrator
If you have a Facebook Page for your office, department or project, you probably know that you can log on to Facebook as yourself, go to your page and create a post that appears to come from your page instead of from you personally. You may not have known that you can actually use Facebook as your page.
Using Facebook as your page, instead of as an individual allows you to engage other pages, re-post from other pages, tag other pages in a post and more. This can be great for developing relationships with other offices and/or departments and with partner organizations.
Check out this video "How to use Facebook as an administrator vs. as a person" created by John Haydon of Socialbrite to learn how to do it.

Connect With Colleagues Using Communicator
Do you thrive on interaction? I do. I will often interrupt my suite-mate Roger with no pressing work-related task, but with an open-ended question that I hope will lead to an exchange of ideas. Expressing my thoughts and getting someone's feedback on my ideas is critical to my ability to stay engaged in and excited about my work.
At NDSU, we don't have to wait for the next brainstorming meeting or send mass invites to the latest social network to connect with our co-workers. Office Communicator is a tool available to us through Microsoft Online Services. Communicator is an instant communication tool, a chat. It's a great way to increase and enhance the informal interaction that is now relegated to the hall or the office doorway.
NDSU employees can download and install Office Communicator by following these instructions. You can learn more about using Communicator here. Try it out and encourage others in your department or on your team to do the same. Use Communicator to ask a question, share an idea or just say, "Hi." Let the information flow.

Technology Tidbits
Think about your email subject line from the receiver's point of view. The more specific the better. For example, our account tech had a slew of messages titled "Bill," and it took her forever to find specific bills until the senders started putting more detail about each bill in the subject line. I receive quite a few emails that are just say "Fall Conference." I have to dig through multiple emails when I go to that folder to find a message about a specific fall conference issue. Also, generic subject lines such as "Question" and "Need Your Help" are more apt to get thrown out by the spam filters.
Since many email messages now also are Microsoft Outlook calendar events, include a subject line that concisely makes sense on people's calendars.
If you send an email message that goes into a junk mail folder, don't bother to resend because it will probably just end up in the junk mail folder again. We all need to be responsible for checking our junk mail folders regularly.
Just because you delete a message doesn't mean it's really deleted. Click on "Deleted Items" in Microsoft Outlook and permanently delete them to save space and possibly improve speed.

How do YOU roast a chicken?
- s
- suburban_mom Jan 12, 2012 05:59 AM
We are having roast chicken tonight and I'm wondering how other Chowhounds roast theirs. It has been a long time since I've done one in my oven. I usually do them on my grill rotisserie but it is too cold here for that.
Cut in half, brine for about 30 minutes, pat dry and cover lightly with a rub like curry or five spice. Baste with lemon or lime while it roasts. In a separate roasting pan cook fennel, onions, potatoes.
Save bones and neck for soup, skin and gizzards for dog.
Chop up a bunch of french bread, toss with melted butter, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Add some minced garlic and shallots, season to taste, and stuff the mixture into the cavity. Truss.
Rub minced fresh herbs under the skin, pat skin dry, then brush with melted butter and add some salt and pepper. Add to roasting pan with whatever veggies are in season.
I like to start at 425 for 20 minutes to get a good crispy skin, then bring back down to 350 and cook until it's done. Serve with the vegetables and stuffing, and possibly a side salad.
re: caseyjo
I do mine pretty much like caseyjo, but the day before, I wash the bird well, thoroughly pat dry, inside and out, salt, and leave it nekkid in the fridge overnight to dry out, then proceed with stuffing (optional, but must toss the aromatics in somewhere, so why not stuffing?), then the high heat, low heat.
re: CDouglas
Ditto on the vertical roaster. If you dont own one, do the beer can method so you have the uprigt stability. I have yet to have a vertically roasted chicken turn out poorly. I don't have a standard way of spicing.
re: CanadaGirl
Hate to sound so dumb, but with the "beer can method," is the can full or can hubby drink the beer and I get the empty can for the chicken?
re: pine time
You need the can at least 1/2 full so it will hold up the chicken. But, you could give hubby the beer and refill the can partially with water or broth, which you could then use to make a gravy. The beer doesn't really do much, it's the vertical idea that really matters.
re: CanadaGirl
Thanks. I once heard someone say that the beer "vaporizes" and flavors the chicken, which is the last thing I'd want, given that I can't stand beer.
re: pine time
Any liquid in the can will steam and keep the meat moist while providing flavor. Wine, juice, beer, broth, whatever you like. My only suggestion is to plug the neck hole with a small wad of tin foil to keep the steam IN the bird. Makes a big difference.
re: CanadaGirl
I don't like the idea of a painted can being in contact with my food while cooking. Maybe it is nothing but I still don't like it. People will reply things like the temp is not hot enough for a prolonged period of time or there are no studies indicating potential harm blah blah blah. Doesn't feel right.
Anyway I do have a vertical roaster that I use on the BBQ. Love it.
re: CDouglas
I use a vertical roaster for chickens and smaller ones for game hens. I rub with olive oil before the sea salt. Sometimes I brine with Asian spices or put five-spice on the skin.
re: CDouglas
Vertical roasters are cheap and effective in getting the chicken skin to turn golden and crisp all around. I make a "paste" of butter, kosher salt, ground pepper, and herbes de Provence and rub it all over the chicken and under the skin in the breasts and thighs. I bake it for 50 min on a 325 degree oven, then pour some water on the sheet pan and bake for another 20 min on 500 degrees. It comes out perfect every time.
Time and temperature depends on the size of the bird for me...
Fryers: 450 for the first 15 minutes, then drop down to 375
Roasters: 450 for the first 15 minutes, then drop down to 325.
* High heat at the end if need to further crisp the skin if necessary or desired.
Thomas Keller's "My favorite Simple Roast Chicken" is my number one method, but I drop the temp a bit to eliminate smoking and just cook it a bit longer. I do not use the suggested butter or mustard slather at table, but still enjoy it. If I don't do Keller's recipe, I either do a beer can chicken on the grill, or roast the bird with a head of unpeeled garlic cloves strewn around the pan, rubbing the chicken with a couple tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with the juice of one lemon and seasoned with s&P. for the latter, I also add 1/2 cup water to the roasting pan then baste every 15 minutes, cooking for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the size of the bird. The garlic is great squeezed out of the skin and spread on the chicken, or on a nice crusty baguette slice.
re: janniecooks
mine too, JC, although i've never had it smoke ....
i have done it with the butter and mustard before, but it's so tasty by itself i usually don't.
re: mariacarmen
I have one smoke alarm that seems extraordinarily sensitive so I've been fearful of cooking at 450. It was from reading other posts on this board that made me want to reduce the temp a bit, but maybe I'm confusing the TK method with the Zuni method? If you've never had it smoke at 450, then I think I'll be brave and try it at full temp this weekend.
re: janniecooks
jannie: "I have one smoke alarm that seems extraordinarily sensitive"
Put a plastic bag from the store over the smoke alarm.
re: mariacarmen
Mariacarmen, based on your experience with cooking at 450 I made this again this weekend; my chicken didn't smoke either! So thanks for commenting. However, having done this chicken at 450 and at 375, I have to say I prefer the chicken cooked at the lower temperature. I thought the higher-temp bird was less moist and less chickeny, so I'll be sticking with the method, but at 375.
re: janniecooks
There's a rule, or guideline to roast a 4.5 pound chicken @ 450* for 45 minutes.....like all recipes and people who swear by it, it's the best way to roast a chicken....and I have no doubts the people recommending believe so......however, I more in line with you and I prefer to roast at the 375* temperature and for up to 90 minutes...or even longer until its done.
re: LaureltQ
Cut the backbone out also, wash and dry well, put a lot of kosher salt on the birds skin and let it sit uncovered over night in the fridge. I put some old potatoes/onions/celery (cut up) under the bird and roast @ 475-500 for an hour(depends on the size).
If you re looking for moist meat and crispy skin, this is for you.
re: LaureltQ
I also do something similar... butterfly the chicken by cutting out the backbone (But save it for stock later!), taking out the breast bone so it is easily flat and easy to slice post-roasting, and lay it in a roasting pan over some vegetables like potatoes. I put it under the broiler (a good 10 inches away) and when it is browned on one side, I flip it over until it is browned on the other side.
Chicken and veggies are ready!
I make Marcella Hazan's super-simple roast chicken with lemons:
The plain-and-simple roast chicken described above is my stand-by (I usually stick a lemon & sometimes herbs in the cavity, occasionally slather the bird with butter or oil & garlic/herbs under the skin before putting it in to cook). I like to roast lots of veggies in the same pan with the chicken, since IMO most veggies improve with a good caramelizing roast. (It even makes cauliflower & brussels sprouts good!). Make a pan sauce at the end with a little wine - yum.
When I'm in a mood for something a little more elaborate, I like Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ja... -- it's easy, uses ingredients I usually have on hand, and creates a magnificent gravy as it cooks.
re: benbenberi
May give Jamie's method a try, thanks. Surprised by the cinnamon, however--can you really taste it (Mr. P. is not a cinnamon fan. Altho' he calls it 'cinnamom." After 35 years, I've given up gently correcting him.)
re: pine time
The cinnamon's not strong, but it's definitely a contributing flavor in the dish. (It plays surprisingly well with the sage and lemon.) You probably shouldn't leave it out together, but you could certainly use a smaller piece than the recipe calls for.
Plain chicken, patted dry, impaled on my ceramic vertical roaster pan, in a convection oven. It needs nothing and turns out the juiciest chicken I've ever had, and skin so crispy!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Open windows and get fans going.
Cut the back out of bird and freeze back and neck side for use in stock.
Pat dry the bird well, rub liberal amounts of Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper onto skin and underside.
Place chicken breast side up on a flat rack place well above the bottom of the roasting pan so that heat surrounds the bird while cooking (I actually place the rack across the top of the roasting pan). Roast for 15 - 20 minutes at this high heat or until skin is cripsy, golden brown.
Flip over and roast for another 15 minutes, then turn the oven off and DO NOT OPEN OVEN FOR ANOTHER 60 MINUTES. As the oven cools the bird will continue to cook.
A cranky Chinese guy showed me this technique and I've been doing it for years and it has never EVER came out anything but ultra crisp, perfectly juicy and perfectly cooked.
re: EarlyBird
I wanna try this. I'm unclear: is the bird breast down for the hour, heat-off period?
Seasoned, breast side down on a bed of veggies in my cast iron dutch oven with the lid on at high heat and a splash of white wine in the bottom. Its insanely juicy. (I'm not a skin eater so I don't care that the breast side doesn't have crispy skin. If presentation is important I flip it when almost done so it is.)
Chicken breast side down, start at 450', bake 15 min, then set temp to 350' for a couple hours. Then I let it sit in the oven, turned off, for about a half hour. The dark meat falls off the bone, and the breast is juicy and tender.
I don't put a thing on it because I absolutely adore the taste of unadulterated crispy chicken skin.
Insert onion, a halved apple, a stalk of celery...whatever is around...baste with Sherry and melted butter, roast at 350 until done.
We usually smoke them on the Big Green Egg, but today I did one in the crock pot because it was easy. It came out great, almost like chicken confit LOL since it poached in it's own fat.
Rub with butter mixed with salt, pepper, and herbs; work some under the skin on breast and leg, along with a sprig of herb and/or a sliver of garlic. Occ put half lemon in cavity. Set on cut-up chunks of onions and/or other veg (celery, carrots, tart green apple) in oiled 2-qt gratin. Cover breast with foil shield. 325F until done, removing breast shield after 45 minutes.
Rub with melted truffle margarine and thyme, stuff the cavity with pearl onions, mushrooms, and garlic, truss, salt and pepper, start it high - 450 - for 15 minutes, then 350 'til it's done.
I start off with high heat, and rub the bird with a mixture of butter, herbs and garlic before going in. Halfway though I flip it so it's thigh side up and hit the convection to crisp the bottom parts and make sure it's cooked through. I end up with a crisp skin and moist meat. This was all by accident, btw, but it works great.
We go the Nigella route. Rinse, pat dry, sprinkle with salt/pepper in the cavity. Cut a lemon or two in half, as well as a head of garlic. Shove those on in as well, truss, rub with butter/olive oil, sprinkle the outside with salt/pepper/whatever herbs we have on hand then place it in the roasting pan and cook her up. Sometimes I use a cheesecloth with melted butter and white wine, lay that over the breast and braise a few times before removing the cloth the last bit to let the breast golden up. I love roast chicken - great meal and great leftovers with so many different options! I sometimes roast 1 or 2 on the weekend.
Coat with olive oil, salt, pepper, dried herbs - lay directly in a pre-heated cast iron skillet - into the oven at 450 for 15 minutes, final 45 minutes or so at 375.
Basically Zuni method. Salt 24 hours in advance, tuck some herbs under the skin, roast in a 450 degree oven in a preheated cast iron skillet for about an hour. I've stopped all the flipping nonsense, and I've taken to tucking some fingerling potatoes under the bird for the last 1/2 hour of roasting.
If I can't presalt, a lot of buttter can compensate, but it's not as good.
re: Savour
The pre-salting is my favorite method. I shoot for 2-3 days if I'm organized, and I don't use a cast iron skillet, but keep the temp high. I line a roasting pan with tin foil, then a layer of parchment so it flips without breaking the skin. I just ate some for lunch today....the best.
What ever you do don't cut the chicken in half. Brine it preferably overnight in a cup of Kosher salt and a cup of brown sugar. Obviously the brine was dissolved first then added to enough cold water to cover the chicken/turkey/whatever. Remove from brine thoroughly pat dry inside and outside. Rub surface with Kosher salt an fresh ground pepper. Place a few lemon halves and a sprig of thyme and or rosemary in the cavity. Truss the bird. Place in a roasting pan on top of a upside down tin foil tray with high enough sides to keep the bird off the bottom of the pan. Don't add any liquid. Put in 200 F oven WITHOUT a lid/tin foil. After an hour check internal temp. Check again in half an hour. I cook birds to a slightly lower temp. than some other cooks do so I'll leave you to decide that issue for yourself. When the bird has reached the internal temp. you are happy with remove and tent for up to an hour depending again on the size of the bird. If the surface of the bird isn't as 'golden brown' as you'd like just before serving crank up the oven as high as it will go, give it time to get REALLY hot! Put the bird which has been left in the roasting pan in the oven. Turn the oven light on and carefully watch in awe as the skin turns golden brown in a couple of minutes. Remove and carve. The couple of minutes the bird is in the high heat will only effect the color of the skin not the meat 'doneness'. Make sure to save all the bones and giblets for stock making the next day. BTW the WORST thing you could feed your dog is a chicken/turkey neck or any other chicken bone...unless you want to pay for a vet to remove a tiny bone splinter stuck in Rover's throat.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A man who went on a shooting spree that left one dead and two wounded has been sentenced to life in prison.
As part of a deal with Hillsborough County prosecutors to avoid the death penalty, 55-year-old Andre Watkins pleaded guilty Thursday to several counts, including murder and attempted murder.
The Tampa Tribune (http://bit.ly/PEtb5M ) reports that Watkins was upset over a neighborhood dispute in February 2010. In the span of about an hour, authorities say he kidnapped and carjacked an acquaintance, fatally shot 19-year-old Alyssa Marie Aracich and shot at five other men, hitting two.
He was arrested several hours later.

No one likes to get the boot particularly on their car, but Lexington police say someone is booting cars without the right to do it, and it's costing drivers big money.
Officials are looking to make that person pay. On Wednesday, Charlie Maddox Jr. who operates Premier Parking & Security, was ordered to appear in court on theft charges.
Lexington Police have received nine complaints since February 1 about Maddox.
From people saying he's illegally booting their cars in lots off East Main Street.
"When we came back to our car, there were orange cones up and ours along with at least six others were booted," said Deena Fowler.
Fowler says Maddox wouldn't answer her questions, so she called police.
"He was not authorized to boot cars in this lot," said Fowler. "He is a crook."
Fowler and several others paid the $50 to have the boot removed.
"There were several other cars in the lot besides ours, and none of them were booted," said Kim Rulo. "So, I asked him why that was and he just ignored me."
The owner of the lot copied a letter to 27 NEWSFIRST he wrote to the Chief of Police. It clearly stated Charlie Maddox, Jr. leased the lot at least once in 2007. The lease expired January 1, 2008 and the contract was not extended.
Maddox told 27 NEWSFIRST he did nothing wrong. "Everything I did was legal," said Charlie Maddox, Jr.
"It's been a nightmare," said Angela Morris. "It's like he took advantage of us. He's a crook, thief, liar, everything. It's just awful."
These three women are all attempting to get their money back. Two of them have taken him to civil court.
"We just don't want others to be victimized, too. He's done enough," Kim Rulo said.
27 NEWSFIRST attempted to contact Maddox's attorney, but our calls were not returned.
According to the city, Maddox does not have a current business license in Lexington.

It's hard to say what's more surprising about Marcy Playground: the fact that this band is still rocking 12 years after its radio hit, "Sex and Candy," was overplayed into oblivion, or the fact that it turns out lead singer John Wozniak is a Minnesota native, and that he named his band after the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis. Who knew? The band is currently touring in support of its fourth studio album, Leaving Wonderland...in a Fit of Rage, and the songs show a significant growth from the "Sex and Candy" years (although one song, "Gin and Money," seems to play on their previous hit's theme). Songs shuffle along in a fairly typical folk-rock format, but the lyrics are more personal than one would expect from such a radio-friendly group, at times veering into something resembling soul music.

The Genesis Rock
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute seek to make the case for the designer in a purely scientific context, without specifying who the designer is. At BioLogos, we take the approach that science is not equipped to provide a full Christian apologetic.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
Scientists have found multiple lines of evidence for evolution, not just one or two. These types of evidence are independent of each other, coming from sources as different as ancient fossils and modern genetics labs. Evidence also comes from comparing the anatomy of creatures living today. All creatures with four limbs (whether mammals, birds, or reptiles) have the same bone structure in each limb, pointing to their descent from a common ancestor. More evidence comes from biogeography. Isolated islands are missing common species found on the mainland, but are filled with many unique species that can be related by a common ancestor. Finally, evidence comes from embryonic development. As an embryo of a mammal grows, its heart develops through stages similar to fish, amphibians, and reptiles. God's creation declares the history of life in many different ways. All these ways are pointing to a consistent picture of God creating through evolution.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

Protecting vehicle assets from vandalism and theft is a growing problem for many fleets.Industrywide, these thefts run the gamut from catalytic converters, tailgates, and spare tires, all the way to the vehicle itself. As fuel prices increase, fuel theft becomes more common, especially fuel siphoning. Trucks parked overnight are found the next day with holes in the fuel tanks to steal the drained fuel. Here's what companies need to do to secure unattended vehicles.

ELCA news releases are detailed accounts describing events and ministires of the ELCA
To learn more about the recent arrival of unaccompanied children into the United States, a group of ELCA leaders will travel July 16-18 to Texas. Their time there will include visits to children shelters and facilities managed by Lutheran Social Services of the South, based in Austin, Texas, and meetings with ELCA pastors and members to hear about their experiences and response efforts.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has designated Sunday, June 22, as Refugee Sunday, "when every Lutheran congregation is invited to lift up refugees and receiving communities in their prayers," said the Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, ELCA presiding bishop, and Linda Hartke, president and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, in a letter written to ELCA pastors. The letter was also signed by three ELCA synod bishops.
As a church that pursues justice, peace and human dignity for all people, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is committed to helping the thousands of unaccompanied children coming to the United States to escape violence and difficult situations in their home countries. To address this crisis, ELCA members are working through Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service to help find foster care for these children.
In support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule on carbon emissions, the presiding bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and The Episcopal Church said in a June 5 joint statement that the rule is a "critical step toward safeguarding the lives and livelihood of future generations."
The Rev. Michael L. Rhyne, East Freedom, Pa., was elected June 7 to a six-year term as bishop of the ELCA Allegheny Synod during the Synod Assembly June 5-7 at the Blair County Convention Center in Altoona, Pa.
The ELCA provided a second contribution of $1 million to Lutheran World Relief to support the next phases of disaster response work in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan struck there this past fall.

Human Impact - Europe and the Near East
The assessment and modelling of current impact on wilderness show that there are few areas in Europe proper that have seen little human impact - it is all broken up by roads thus lowering the value of habitats primarily for big mammals. Areas with wilderness qualities can be found in the Arctic and further East in this analysis.

Potential impact of sea-level rise on Bangladesh
Bangladesh, one of the world's poorest nations is also the country most vulnerable to sea-level rise. The population is already severely affected by storm surges. Catastrophic events in the past have caused damage up to 100 km inland. It is hard to imagine to what extent these catastrophes would be with accelerated sea-level rise. Digital terrain modelling techniques have been used to display the Bangladesh scenarios. A three dimensional view o...

How much sea ice will be left in 2050?
Climate simulations suggest continued rapid loss of Arctic sea-ice. The observations of indigenous peoples also indicate unprecedented change. The loss of the Arctic sea-ice will have vast impacts on climate, livelihoods and biodiversity.

Glacier volume change forecasts
Oerlemans et al. (1998) conducted modelling experiments for a sample of 12 glaciers and ice caps, to determine volume changes under a range of temperature and precipitation forcings (Fig. 3). The range of glacier response is very wide, so a key issue is fnding ways to upscale the results of modelling this tiny sample of glaciers to large regions. Figure 2 shows the results of two alternative weighting procedures. Although the absolute values o...

Original Post: 03/21/04 by Kelly Murphy
This is my own son:
Age progressed photo:
The basic details:
Last seen 6/13/01 on foot in the area of 48th & Bedford, Omaha, NE. He goes by the name Jason or J.J. He is 6' 1" & 165 lbs. He was wearing a blue Cubs hat & a white Cubs or Sammy Sosa t-shirt, black pants & black dress shoes. If you have any information, please call the Omaha Crimestoppers at 402-444-STOP or 402-444-5657. Case# 85214-T
On June 13, 2001, Jason was called in to work early. His car was in the shop all week, so he had no way to get to work in the morning. He told the manager that he would walk, but they called him back & made arrangements to meet at Benson High School, 8 blocks away from our home. Jason has a difficult time giving directions, & meeting at his former high school probably seemed logical to him. He showered & dressed, & was last seen by his little brother, Michael, bringing in the trash cans, as the trash pickup had taken place that morning. The neighbor also saw Jason taking the cans into the garage. Jason was wearing black dress shoes & black dress pants & carrying his red work t-shirt. He wore a white Chicago Cubs or Sammy Sosa t-shirt, & a blue Chicago Cubs baseball hat. This occurred at approximately 10:45 am. Within 30-45 minutes, the employer called our home to see if Jason was there, as he did not show up at the high school. No one has seen or heard from Jason since then. He has not touched his bank account, used his cell phone, picked up his checks from work, or inquired about or attempted to pick up his car from the body shop. He also was to have started a new job the following week, & he did not call or show up for the new job, which he was excited about. We estimate, based on the amount of his last check, & the deposit he made, that he didn't have more than $60 with him, if even that. Jason is a very shy individual & typically did not pursue social activities. For the most part, he was either at work or home. He did not appear to be interested in alcohol or drugs. He has a close relationship with his family, & it is hard to believe that he would purposely stay away without even contacting us, although we realize that this is not outside of the realm of possibilities. As we don't have any clues, anything is possible. We HOPE that it is just a case of Jason just wanting to get away from life's pressures for awhile as the alternative to that scenario is unbearable to think about. It just seems odd that if he had run away, that at the very least, he would have taken his checkbook or picked up his checks from work. As we have no leads, we are trying to reach every citizen because someone has to have seen him. We love our son and just want him back home with us.
Thank you for looking and caring,
Kelly Murphy, Mother of Missing Jason Jolkowski
President and Founder,
Project Jason

Badgers vs. South Carolina in Capital One Bowl
The Wisconsin Badger football team will face South Carolina in the Capital One Bowl on Wednesday, January 1 at noon central time.
The Badgers will take their fifth trip to Orlando in the last nine seasons. Wisconsin is 3-1 in four trips to the Capital One Bowl- the most recent was 2006 when Barry Alvarez coached Wisconsin to a 24-10 win over Auburn.
The 19th ranked Badgers (9-3) face the 8th ranked Gamecocks (10-2) which feature head Coach Steve Spurrier and All-American linebacker Jadeveon Clowney.
It's the 12th straight year the Badgers have made a bowl game.
A win would give Wisconsin 10 wins for the fourth time in the last five years.

Detroit bankruptcy: Where things stand
Updated On: Jul 22 2013 05:53:39 PM EDT
Detroit is taking the next step in bankruptcy filing with the first court date now set.
The court dates comes even as some call the bankruptcy unconstitutional.
Emergency manager Keyvn Orr has been granted an expedited bankruptcy hearing in spite of objections filed today by Detroit's two pension boards.
Douglas Bernstein is a bankruptcy lawyer for Plunkett Cooney; he is not connected with the Detroit case, but says Wednesday's hearing will take up the issue of whether Orr and Gov. Snyder will be treated as city officials.
City officials are normally shielded from lawsuits during Chapter 9 proceedings.
"The theory being if that if they are spending all their time defending lawsuits they can't attend to the matters at hand which is fixing city finances," said Bernstein.
Meanwhile, unions are trying to block the bankruptcy in Ingham County Circuit Court.
Read: Judge rules Detroit bankruptcy filing is unconstitutional
The union claims Snyder is violating the state constitution, which guarantees public employee pensions.
The judge delayed a hearing while the issue is fought in the appeals court.
The first bankruptcy hearing will be Wednesday and the courthouse will need one large courtroom and two overflow rooms. Creditors are being limited to two lawyers per firm.
"The limitation on number of bodies really is for management. It's not unusual for some larger firms to send four, five or six lawyers to the hearings which are why the proceedings are that expensive," said Bernstein.

Back to Products
Select Quantities
750ml Bottle $256.44
Case of 6
Nose: A rich and mature nose with a robust character. It is reminiscent of dried fruit, perhaps figs and raisins, mixed with chocolate and spices (cloves and boiling sweets). There is a hint of leather and linseed oil giving an overall impression of warmth and depth of character. With water, barley sugar emerges with mint humbugs and a hint of oak smoke. A whiff of peat is now noticeable. Taste: Sweet, full and exceptionally well-rounded, the taste is smooth with a good firm body, meeting the expectations set from the rich, mature nose. The texture is gently oily and mouth-coating with chewy oak tannins. The flavour is initially of toffee, progressing to mint humbugs and barley sugar and followed by a hint of smoke and peat flavours. Finish: Medium to long finish with a flavour and texture reminiscent of barley sugar and humbugs.

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams head into their final preseason game against Baltimore at 0-3.
Losses aside, the goal for the Rams and the Super Bowl champion Ravens (2-1) is to emerge healthy from Thursday night's game. Both teams probably have just a handful of roster spots up for grabs.
The Rams have at least one starting spot to decide with Chris Williams apparently holding an edge over Shelley Smith at left guard. They haven't declared a winner at one safety or at backup quarterback, and are looking for depth chart clarity elsewhere.

If you smile at me I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language.
I can see by your coat my friend
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once.

Probably keep us both alive.
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving - you don't need us.
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving - you don't need us.
And it's a fair wind blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go...

Where to buy Mexican Coke in Massachusetts
- b
- bishop1911 Jun 16, 2010 01:46 PM
Can someone tell me where I can get the Mexican Coke made with pure sugar cane in Massachusetts? I want to get a few cases for a party coming up. Thanks for any replies.
I can't believe I forgot to post this. While in the Everett Costco I saw cases of Coke in glass bottles in the back (near the other beverages and TP). Glass bottles are my preferred container for soda (cans are tolerable and I can't drink anything out of plastic). I never buy soda for our house, but stopped and doubled back to check out the size of the bottles as they appeared to be larger than the standard 8oz glass bottle. Indeed they were 12oz glass bottled, but than my eyes nearly popped when I saw it was the mexican coke with pure cane suger and no corn syrup.
A case was pricey at $18, but I snatched one right up. I hope they carry this regularly. Even though it will up my soda intake (virtually zero now) a bit, I love this stuff. Give it a shot if you are a Costco member.
re: Gabatta
Yes, I believe Costco has been carrying Mexican Coke pretty regularly for a while now.
re: Gabatta
Why no plastic? Taste or environmental factors?
re: Bob Dobalina
Taste. Also, That is what the Mexican coke comes in from my understanding. I dont think they make mexican coke in plastic bottles. I really want to get the stuff made with sugar cane, instead of HFCS.
re: Bob Dobalina
Taste. To me, everything tastes worse out of plastic, whether it be Coke, Panna, club soda, etc.
I've never seen the Mexican Coke in plastic, however they do put out a kosher version for passover made with cane sugar. It comes in a 2 liter plastic bottle with a yellow cap. 2 liters are even more worthless than a regular plastic bottle as they go instantly flat.
re: Gabatta
Thanks for the replies. I wonder if the passage of light through plastic vs. glass somehow affects taste. Hopefully it's that and not leaching hydrocarbons!
re: mikeinboston
Wow man this is Deja Vu
I was at the Town Diner today and they carry Mexican Coke. This is the first time i have had Coke made with sugar since the 70's. It was awesome. I was going to buy them out, but at $2 a bottle, well, no thanks
Town Diner
627 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, MA 02472
re: robertlf
theres plenty of places to buy it by the bottle but where can you buy it in bulk? where are all these restaurants getting it from?
re: jack daniels
Um, maybe Costco? Did you check this thread?
re: scratchie
am not a costco member
re: robertlf
Yes, I saw bottles of it there as well, but I didn't check the back to see where it was hecho'd. I wonder how much they charge for it. If Shaw's is selling it for $1.79/bottle, I can't imagnie how much it would be at Flat Patties.
re: Mike5966
Thanks for all the info. I can try and check these places out, but I am located right near worcester. Does anyone know if there is a place around Worcester that might have it? I dont have a costco card either and dont know anyone with a membership. Thanks.
re: bishop1911
I have gotten Mexican Coke from Costco many times. To enter Costco without a membership card, tell them at the entrance you're going to the pharmacy section and thus no membership is needed. Look around and consider a membership if they have it in stock; you do have a year to cancel your membership for a full refund.
re: joebloe
Don't you still need a membership card to check out, or do you pay at the Pharmacy?
If you are going "many times" I would say it might be easier to shoot the lock of your wallet and pay the $50 for a membership.
re: Gabatta
I'm saying 'pharmacy' just so OP can walk into Costco to browse the merchandise without the membership card. If it's available, then OP should sign up for membership to buy it. It's up to OP to cancel the membership afterward if there's no further need for it afterward.
Also available is Brazilian Coke which is also sugar cane based. I've gotten it in Union Square, Somerville before (in the store that's at the end of the block to the left of the Independent and Precinct).
re: scratchie
stumbled across this article. for anyone like myself who doesn't have or want a costco membership....here's a way around it
re: jack daniels
I did used the Costco gift cards a few times and the cashiers tried to deny my purchases, saying I have to be a member to use the gift card. After an argument, the manager came by and let me use my gift card. A big hassle every time really.
I bought a bottle of Mexican coke at Shaws on Green St the other day in Cambridge. Never seen them there before, but they were sitting in the cold beverage section right off the Wild Oats section of the market (not up by the prepared foods). Are their regular bottles always 500mL (half a liter)?
I tried it and it tasted like... coke...I don't drink soda really, so perhaps that was the problem. Not to say it wasn't good, but it wouldn't change my mind about drinking more soda.
re: kobuta
Yes, I just saw them there a couple days ago as well, in the "Shop the World" aisle, with other Mexican products.
Interesting follow-up to this topic:
I was at Anna's in Porter Square last night and was pleased to see the familiar glass bottles in the cooler, and stacked in cardboard cases (with Spanish writing on them) next to the cooler.
Muy bueno! Halfway through my meal, though, I took a closer look at the English-language label affixed to the bottle. It was different than the ones on the bottles I've bought in Arlington. While still a "Product of Mexico", the second ingredient was now "High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sugar".
By that time, my mouth had been mildly numbed by the hot peppers in my sandwich, and it was tough to tell if it was actually a sugar or HCFS bottle, but in any case, caveat emptor (imbibor?).

Most Latin Cokes have had that label for years, but given that sugar is now often cheaper than HFCS, I have yet to have a Latin Coke that has that gummy HFCS mouthfeel. I assume that's just legalese to cover the bases.
re: scratchie
Was in Cuba a week ago and had a Coke there with the same label, presumably Mexican. I'm not sure I can taste the difference. Had the TuKola as well, I'd guess they use cane sugar? Tastes like Coke
