Looking into purchasing a shotgun. I was wondering what some differences between the Mossberg 500 and 590 were? Is one model better than the other?

590 is longer and holds more shells (9 vs. 6), has a heat shield, and bayonet lug, has an option for ghost ring and blade sights.
500 is a bit shorter holds 6 shells, they do make a 500 special purpose that can come with sights, bayo lug and heat shield, but most are a bit more plain Jane.
thicker barrel on the 590A1s and magazine tubes
From Mossberg 500 Wiki:
Model 500 vs. Model 590 vs. Model 590A1[edit]
Mossberg 590 with 20-inch (510 mm) barrel
The primary difference between the Model 500 and Model 590 is in magazine tube design. The Model 500 magazines are closed at the muzzle end, and the barrel is held in place by bolting into a threaded hole at the end of the magazine tube. Model 590 magazines are designed to be opened at the muzzle end, and the barrels fit around the magazine tube and are held on by a nut at the end. The Model 500 magazine facilitates easy barrel changes, as the barrel bolt serves no function other than holding the barrel in place. The Model 590 magazine facilitates easy cleaning and parts replacement, as removing the nut allows removal of the magazine spring and follower.
Parkerized Mossberg 590A1 with M7 Bayonet, upper picatinny rail, and modified standard 590 heat shield
The Model 590 has a plastic trigger guard and safety and a standard barrel. The Model 590A1 has an aluminum trigger guard and safety, and a heavier barrel, intended for military use under extreme conditions and rough handling; the metal trigger guard was added in response to the 3443G materials requirements, and the heavy barrel was added at the request of the Navy. The 590A1 is generally sold through military and law enforcement channels, though in most jurisdictions the 18.5-inch (47 cm) and 20-inch (51 cm) models may be legally purchased by private persons. 590A1s with 14" barrels are Title II firearms, and may be purchased by private persons in NFA-legal states. [2][3]
The riot gun versions of the Model 500 (Persuader and Mariner) are available with an 18.5-inch (47 cm) and 20-inch (51 cm) barrel depending on magazine capacity. The 590 is only available with a 20-inch (510 mm) barrel and flush-fit magazine tube. The 590A1 is available with a 14-inch (36 cm), 18.5-inch, or 20-inch (510 mm) barrel. One model sold as Model 590 (catalog item 51663) is technically a 590A1, as it uses the heavy barrel and military trigger group, but unlike models designated 590A1 it is sold on the civilian market.
Unlike Model 500 and 590 shotguns (with the exception of ghost-ring sight 590 models), Model 590A1 shotguns cannot be easily fitted with the factory heat shield, due to the heavy barrel. A heat shield and bayonet lug are required for military 3443G Type I riot shotguns,[2] and some 590A1s are so equipped, but it is not clear if the 590A1 heat shields have ever been offered for sale by Mossberg outside of the military market.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossberg_590
Mossberg 500 accepts diffrent barrels
the 590's tend to be a bit more rugged and take more abuse. they are designed for defensive and military offensive roles. the 500's are geared more towards hunting wih a simply enourmous selection of barrel options and accessories from dedicated slug barrels to blackpowder.
not many barrel options for 590's but ive successfully used mine for dove hunting. the lack of choke options means you have to have em put in if you need the extended shot density for geese or other such hunting.
i prefer the shorter barrel that comes on the 590 simply because my shotguns are home defense first hunting second. i dont do a lot of shotgun hunting. i do trap and skeet with my combat shotguns. just picked up a 930spx, sold my saiga 12 for it.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
I elected to go with the 20" barreled 590A1 mainly for the extra rounds it carries and beefiness. It's just what I prefered. Mossberg now has a 18.5" barreled 590A1 version out with a 6 round magazine and Ghost ring sights.

*L.A. Woman Was the Doors' Bluesy Masterpiece, and Jim Morrison's Kiss-Off to L.A.
*Surviving Members of the Doors Discuss L.A. Woman, Track by Track
In December we scrambled from the Pacific Palisades to Ojai, interviewing the major players behind The Doors' opus L.A. Woman. The sessions culminated in last month's cover story on the subject, which continues to be widely read. Considering we took some 50 single-spaced pages of notes, there were plenty of interesting details that didn't make the story. Here are the highlights.
On Jim Morrison's substance abuse
Ray Manzarek (organ, keyboard bass): Before L.A. Woman [Jim's self-abuse] hadn't yet affected his literary output or sense of songwriting. It had affected his health. We had a little confrontation at one point and told him he was drinking too much. He was like, 'I know, man. I'm trying to quit.' We were like, "okay, just call us and let us know."
But he didn't quit. Maybe he'd quit for a few days, but by the end of the week, it was like 'geez, I need a drink."
John Densmore (drummer): I was nervous at first when Paul Rothchild dropped out and Bruce Botnick suggested we produce [L.A. Woman] with him. I knew that Paul, God love him, taught us how to make records. But he was rather dictatorial and by the third or fourth album, we were doing way too many takes, getting way past the good ones, because of his perfectionism...And I was nervous because Jim, his self-destruction, was...uh... I would say he was an alcoholic by then. We didn't know that, we didn't have substance abuse clinics... But, he got empowered by directing our own film. Which is what producing a record is. He stepped up. He always did when we were recording or writing. None of his self-destruction got in the way. Well, it did... Forget that. Fourth album or so, he'd pass out in the studio. But you could go home. On stage, passing out, is not so good.
Jac Holzman (Elektra Founder): After the album was done, Jim and I went out, supposedly to dinner. I ate, he drank. We had interest in movies and stuff and Jim would kid me a lot. He'd say, you gotta get more on the edge. And I would say things like, 'I think being on the edge is great. The trick is not being on the bleeding edge.' It was a very satisfying experience. The fact that the boys at that point knew enough at that point to show great self-discipline. Most of the songs came from Robby and Jim on that album. He told any number of ladies, I think, that they were the "L.A. Woman."
On Morrison's lyrics
Robby Krieger (lead guitarist): When Jim wrote lyrics, we were never stupid enough to ask him what that meant. Because we knew he never would have told us a straight answer. There's a couple different ways you could read that. I like the idea of the city, L.A., being a woman. I don't know if you ever kind of noticed, the freeway, when he's talking about driving, the number 405 when it hits the 10, it was actually designed by a woman. That whole intersection. And it kind of opens up, like legs opening. It's kind of cool.

Kelly Osbourne: Engaged to Matthew Mosshart!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kelly Osbourne has a secret, and she can no longer keep it:
The celebrity fashion expert is engaged to Matthew Mosshart!
The couple has reportedly been dating for about a year and quietly agreed to marry a few weeks prior to Christmas, an insider confesses to Us Weekly.
"Kelly is the happiest she's ever been," the Osbourne friend says. "Her career is going well, and she's in a healthy relationship with a wonderful guy."
Speaking to British magazine Fabulous in October, Kelly gushed of her now-fiance:
"I couldn't believe that he truly liked me because I never think people ever could. But I'm so happy. I don't think I've ever really known what love is like before."
Awwww! We send these two our very best wishes.
1st off who's the jealous b***h that wrote her biography on here?
I am a huge fan of Kelly O and I hope she finds happiness with him. She deserves to be happy.
Happy for her. Truly! She's had a knack of picking losers. This one really seems different.
Congratulations to the lovely couple. May they have a long enriched life together.
she's a good girl. i wish her the best. she deserves it.
She is a talentless cow who is only where she is because of her evil mother and her famous father. Otherwise, nobody would even look twice at this whore.
You know them personally, do you? Kelly O is talented on her own right. As far as Ozzy & Sharon are concerned he acts all "evil", but that's all for show. They are very nice people who give a lot of time & money to different charities. I think you are confusing Sharon O for Kris Jenner.
You've been listening to too many jealous people. Ozzy and Sharon are NOT evil. They're different, but the "Prince of Darkness" thing is simply a "gag" that their followers love. It isn't real. (Keep telling yourself that. If you hear the truth often enough, you might toss aside your delusions and come to believe reality.)
WTF is wrong with u. Ur insulting her like she's killed someone u love. Anyways congrats Kelly, you've come such a long way:)
She HAS come a long way, and it's been great to see her success after her troubles because you know it wasn't easy. It was something she was strong enough to do a lot of work towards overcoming. She showed her strength, and perhaps even became an inspiration to others who faced the same problems she once did.
Congrats to them both...
.......................he's a moslim?
Abe: Where did you get the idea that he is a Muslim? You are a complete and utter dunderhead.

who cares? you marrying him?

Days of Glory
Time Out says
Tue Mar 27 2007'We must wash the French flag clean with our blood!' exhorts an Algerian village leader, idealistically and self-sacrificially, at the opening of writer-director-producer Bouchareb's grand World War II movie, an impressive, expensively mounted international co-production which tries – on the whole, successfully – to juggle the competing imperatives of the epic war movie with its concern to highlight the often-unacknowledged part that 'indigenous' (that is Arab and North African) troops played in the liberation of France from the Axis forces and their sorry treatment subsequently. It's a grand, important thesis, conceived with a scope that compares to Sam Fuller's 'The Big Red One'. It's shot in widescreen and, similarly, follows an army contingent comprising a half-dozen highlighted individuals across the European theatre, beginning with the carnage of the North African campaign (in 1943) before moving on to the liberation of the mainland, here a protracted sequence of a platoon flushing out the last remaining German presence in Alsace-Lorraine.
The first thing to say is that Bouchareb shows a real talent for action sequences, with cinematographer Patrick Blossier equally at home filming the attacks of the massed ranks against the dust and grey rocks of Africa as he is with the more intimate scale of the house-to-house fighting of the finale. Not surprisingly, given the ambitious amount of freight carried by his and Olivier Lorelle's script – which tries to honour not only the bravery and determination of the soldiers, but also to acknowledge and personalise their various ethnic, class and professional divisions and the injusticies and discrimination they were subject to – some of the performances seem a little weighed down by assigned 'types', not least French comic actor Jamel Debbouze's overly caricatured 'ordinary Joe'. It's also true that Bouchareb does seem too happy to adopt some of the more clichéd tropes of the war movie – the worst example of which is a slightly awkward episode of romantic 'fraternisation' with a grateful 'liberated' French woman. But overall, it's an effective, thoughtful and stirring film which – aided by a number of memorable performances, not least those of Sami Bouajila as the stalwart Corporal Abdelkader and Bernard Blancan as the unyielding Sergeant Martinez – stands alongside Eastwood's diptych as important, relevant and corrective accounts of the damned contradictions of institutionalised human warfare.

Lenovo drive works great1/5/2014
I had some reservations about Lenovo products. These drives redeem Lenovo only in part. The interface works fine and transfer to and from is very good. I purchases 3 of these drives and kept one in reserve. The drive has been operating 5 months without issues. I am happy with my purchase.
I have an iomega 1TB I bought 2 years ago works like a charm. Since Leveno got their hands on Iomega their products went downhill. I purchased two of these network servers & got so frustrated I removed the HD and bought a 3.0 USB enclosure. If not for the great price i would have returned them. I tried several different Ethernet ports no luck and i know my way around computers. Stay away from these drives, although so far HD is working great in USB 3.0 enclosure.

US indictment of Chinese hackers is kinda awkward
Greenpeace: Heavy metals pollution in China makes 'Cadmium rice' a growing problem
Greenpeace this week released a report on soil and rice crops sampled in villages close to a concentration of heavy metals smelters in China's Hunan Province, "an area that ranks first in rice output and among the top five in nonferrous metals production." The results showed that both rice and soil near the industrial complex are contaminated by heavy metals, including lead. "12 out of all 13 rice samples contained excessive levels of cadmium." Read the "Cadmium rice" report at Greenpeace East Asia. Here's a related piece at the New York Times.
Chinese censor prosecuted for taking bribes to censor remarks companies and government officials disliked
Censorship invites abuse. In China, the widespread practice of Internet censorship means that lots of people are authorized to hand down censorship orders and lots more people naturally turn to censorship when something on the Internet bugs them. This week, Chinese authorities prosecuted an "Internet policeman" who took payments from companies in return for censoring unfavorable remarks about them on social media. He's accused of censoring more than 2,500 posts in return for over $300K in payments. He also collaborated with another official to censor critical remarks about government officials. It seems unlikely that Gu, the Internet policeman who was arrested, and Liu, his collaborator, were the only two censors-for-hire in the Chinese system.
Lest you think that this problem is uniquely Chinese, consider that when Wikileaks leaked the Great Firewall of Australia's blacklist, we learned that more the half the sites on the list didn't meet the censorship criteria. And when the Danish and Swedish blacklists were analyzed, it emerged that more than 98 percent of the sites blocked did not meet the official criteria for censorship. And in the UK, the national firewall once blocked all of Wikipedia.
NSA hacked Huawei, totally penetrated its networks and systems, stole its sourcecode
A new Snowden leak details an NSA operation called SHOTGIANT through which the US spies infiltrated Chinese electronics giant Huawei -- ironically, because Huawei is a company often accused of being a front for the Chinese Peoples' Liberation Army and an arm of the Chinese intelligence apparatus. The NSA completely took over Huawei's internal network, gaining access to the company's phone and computer networks and setting itself up to conduct "cyberwar" attacks on Huawei's systems.
The program apparently reached no conclusion about whether Huawei was involved in espionage. However, the NSA did identify many espionage opportunities in compromising Huawei, including surveillance of an undersea fiber optic cable that Huawei is involved with.

Like a zombie, China's Jade Rabbit lunar rover hops to life again after malfunction
Earlier this week, it looked like China's malfunctioning lunar rover might be headed for the junk pile. But the week ends with great news: "Yutu has come back to life!" spokesperson Pei Zhaoyu told a Chinese state-run news agency. The probe " went into sleep under an abnormal status," he added.
The rover isn't out of the space woods yet: While normal signal reception capabilities have reportedly been restored, the cause of the initial issues remains unclear -- as does whether they can be fixed. But Pei says Jade Rabbit "stands a chance of being saved now that it is still alive."A well-linked roundup at the Washington Post.
Chinese-language Bing searches in the USA censored to match mainland Chinese results
Freeweibo, an anti-censorship organization that works on free speech issues in China, has discovered that the Chinese version of Microsoft's Bing search-engine censors its US version to match the censored results that would be shown within China. Search terms such as "Dalai Lama, June 4 incident (how the Chinese refer to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989), Falun Gong and FreeGate" return results dominated by censored Chinese news outlets like Baidu Baike and Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. The same searches run on the English version of Bing return pages from Wikipedia, BBC, the New York Times, etc.
Google's Chinese-language competitor displays much more parity between the Chinese and English editions -- the Chinese Google results for controversial subjects include Chinese articles from the BBC and Wikipedia.
Microsoft will not comment on the matter.
Update: Microsoft has commented:
"Bing does not apply China's legal requirements to searches conducted outside of China," Bing Senior Director Stefan Weitz notes in a prepared statement. "Due to an error in our system, we triggered an incorrect results-removal notification for some searches noted in the report, but the results themselves are and were unaltered outside of China.
As of 10PM Pacific on 12 Feb, many of the "controversial" search terms still generate results pages dominated by Chinese state media.

Stamping Chinese banknotes with censorship-busting QR codes
An anonymous anti-censorship group is stamping Chinese banknotes with a QR code and the message "Scan and download software to break the Internet firewall." The stamps encode a URL for Freegate, a firewall-busting service. The stamps are widely suspected to be the work of Falun Gong, an outlawed religious sect that has a long history of supplying anti-censorship technology inside of mainland China, both to supply access to its own censored websites and to advertise the virtues of its belief-system to Chinese Internet users who are more interested in beating censorship than religion.
The money-stamping story has been big news in China, even attracting reportage in state-run media, where the comment-sections are full of Chinese Internet users complaining that the photos of the stamped money are too low-rez to be scanned in.
This isn't the first time that anti-corruption messages have been circulated through defaced currency: Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame runs the Stamp Stampede, which stamps messages condemning the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which opened the floodgates of unlimited, anonymous political campaign spending.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ireland's prime minister is making his traditional visit to the White House for St. Patrick's Day.
The White House said Wednesday that Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny will meet with Obama Friday, ahead of the Monday holiday.
Kenny's visit starts with breakfast at Vice President Joe Biden's residence, followed by an Oval Office meeting with Obama. Then the leaders plan to attend the annual St. Patrick's Day lunch at the U.S. Capitol.
That evening, the president and first lady plan a reception back at the White House. Obama and Kenny will exchange shamrocks in a tradition begun under President Harry Truman.
Biden plans to meet separately Friday with Peter Robinson, the leader of Northern Ireland's Catholic-Protestant government, and Robinson's deputy, Martin McGuinness, to discuss progress toward peace in their country.

David Naczycz, Co-Founder
David is a dedicated urbanist and amateur historian who loves cities and their histories. He has traveled to and lived in a number of cities all over the world and, everywhere he goes, he immerses himself in the history of that place. A resident of New York City for over ten years, David has a special interest in the world's greatest city and its history. One of his favorite activities when he's not leading a tour of the city is to explore greater New York by bike and his mission is to have cycled through every neighborhood in the city. He's also an entrepreneur who values sustainability, urban neighborhoods, and the people that live there. Over the past nine years, he has built a consulting practice working with the leaders of cities to help them create viable communities and while living in Detroit he founded Detroit Synergy, a grassroots non-profit that empowers every day citizens to get involved in improving their city.

Alex, Tour Guide & Beer Expert
Alex is an American army brat who grew up in Germany. And European drinking ages being what they are, he developed a love for beer at an early age. While still dedicated to the German lagers of his hometown, he got to explore Europe's great varieties of beers and ales from the Benelux to the British Isles. Here in the US he became an actor, and had the good fortune of being on tour in the late nineties just as the Craftbrew movement was taking off. He was introduced to great American brews from coast to coast and border to border. He moved to New York about fifteen years ago, and working as a bartender between acting gigs, he was immersed in the culture of food and drink that is such a great part of this city's history. As a tour guide, he found an amazing opportunity to share this culture with others and see that history continue.
Why He Loves Being a Tour Guide: It combines 3 things he loves; history, beer, and performance.
Favorite Slice. Wheated in Ditmars Park, Brooklyn.
Special Skills. Plays the african thumb piano & makes a really good Glühwein (German mulled wine).
Brian, Tour Guide & Obsessive Foodie
Brian is a trained actor (and waiter by default) who in the 10 years he's lived in New York has developed a passion for the city, its culture, and its food. There's nothing he loves more than walking through the streets as the neighborhoods, people, and architecture change. And now as a tour guide, he hopes to help locals and visitors alike discover the unique and unexpected stories of these neighborhoods. In addition to giving tours, Brian has a food blog (Eat This NY) and web series where he searches for the most authentic and delicious food adventures in the city. He manages to take about one good road trip a year to see the country (and try regional cuisine) but is always eager to come back home to the city that has everything.
Why He Loves Being a Tour Guide: He loves meeting people from all over the world and getting to see New York through fresh eyes. It's always exciting to share their discoveries.
Special Skills: He can clap with one hand. You sort of have to see it to believe it...
What He Does on Days Off: He's constantly on the search for iconic NY food & drink experiences. Giving the walking tours is the only way he keeps from weighing 500lbs.

Public libraries have a money problem. Their costs are immediate and local, but their benefits to society accrue over many years and over a wide area.
So it's no wonder libraries are one of the first places mayors turn to when it's time to cut the budget. Probably no one whose life has been changed by books has ever sought out and thanked the mayor who provided the library funding.
At a time when Chicago is grappling with huge budget problems, we shouldn't be surprised that the Chicago Public Library is in line for some big-time cuts. But we are surprised at how big those proposed cuts are.
Though the library accounts for only 3 percent of the city's budget, more than half of the 517 proposed layoffs citywide would come from the library system.
The layoffs would undercut day-to-day operations, and branch library hours would be reduced by eight hours a week, possibly by closing buildings on Monday and Friday mornings.
That's a lot of pain in exchange for budgetary savings of roughly $10 million a year, which would put only a tiny dent in the city's $636 million projected shortfall.
Under Mayor Richard M. Daley, about 120 library workers were laid off just two years ago and hours were reduced. Usage is down, but even so, about 11.6 million people walked through the doors of a Chicago library last year.
In defense of his plans, Mayor Rahm Emanuel points out that other cities have closed library buildings while he would keep all of Chicago's 78 locations open.
Remember, this is a proposed budget. There's room for discussion, room to ask if we are making the right trims. We know there are hard decisions everywhere you look. But before the City Council signs off on this spending plan in November, aldermen should seriously debate whether the proposed library paring is just too deep.
We also have serious concerns about proposed cuts to the city health department.
Emanuel wants to consolidate 12 mental health clinics into six facilities.
He also wants to transfer duties of six primary health-care clinics to privately run clinics. These clinics offer vital, safety-net services for Chicago's neediest and must be protected.
City Hall staffers insist these changes will create needed efficiencies and could even enhance services. But several aldermen and advocates have raised legitimate questions about whether the true effect will be a reduction in services, particularly in mental health.
We are also concerned about deep cuts to the Department of Family and Support Services. A hearing covering that department is set for Nov. 1, and we hope to hear how the city plans to minimize the impact on an agency that supports the homeless, domestic violence victims and at-risk youth.
Core municipal services, such as libraries, are in great demand. People use libraries for early childhood literacy programs, lifetime learning, Internet and computer access and job searches. Across the country, the number of library visits is rising.
If you leaf through the history books in your local library, you'll see that the societies that prosper are those with enlightened plans for the future.
We know times are tough, but in making overall cuts, let's be sure we make them wisely.

Signs of an upside dislocation
Total (financial and non-financial) Credit jumped $484bn during Q1 to a record $59.399 TN, or 347% of GDP. Although economic growth faltered during the period, Q1 2014 Total Non-Financial Debt (NFD) expanded at a 5.0% rate. Corporate borrowings grew at a robust 9.3% pace, up from Q4's 7.7% and Q1 2013's 7.2%. Federal government debt mounted at a 7.1% rate, down from Q4's 11.6% and Q1 2013's 10.1%. Consumer Credit accelerated from Q4's 5.3% rate to 6.6% – the strongest increase in borrowings since Q2 2012. Consumer Credit expanded 4.1% in 2011, 6.2% in 2012 and 5.9% in 2013. If Q1 consumer borrowing is sustained, 2014 will post the strongest consumer (non-mortgage) debt growth since 2001 (8.6%).

In news that likely stands John Bolton's mustache on end, the U.S. has announced that it plans to hold direct—not mediated—talks with North Korea in an attempt to get Pyongyang back into the multilateral discussions aimed at ending its nuclear program.
The BBC:
The US says it would hold direct talks with North Korea to persuade it to return to stalled multilateral talks on ending its nuclear programme.
A spokesman for the US state department said that there had been no decision on when such talks might take place.
Philip Crowley insisted the move was not a policy shift and talks would take place within "the six-party process".
North Korea pulled out of multilateral talks in April after international criticism following a rocket launch.

The Postal Service will undertake cost saving measures and service changes in 2013 to increase available revenue, says Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.In his State of the Postal Service presentation, Donahoe said on Jan. 24 the service remains "in a very tenuous position as far as cash on hand" because Congress has not passed legislation to aid the Postal Service.
More than 25,000 employees have accepted an early-retirement offer from the United States Postal Service, part of the agency's attempts to cut its workforce and costs, said a spokesperson for the American Postal Workers Union. The Postal Service finished fiscal 2012 with a $15.9 billion loss.
The Postal Service had a record loss of nearly $16 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to a loss of $5.1 billion in fiscal 2011, the agency said. The agency described $13.4 billion of its losses as "outside the control of the Postal Service in the short-term."

I just returned from the annual meetings of the Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities (ASLCH) in Las Vegas. I know, what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, but I couldn't resist blogging about one session in particular: "20 Years of 'Law and Order.'"
Go on, click it... you know you want to. (To hear the classic spoken intro, click here.)
The conference session featured professors and students in a very loose, informal setting, discussing the longetivity, impact, and meaning of the timeless show. (Just to be clear, the session focused on the original "Law and Order" series, though comparisons and contrasts were made to the later varities such as "Law and Order: SVU.") Appropriately, given the interdisciplinary nature of the ASLCH meetings, the session was organized by Chaya Halberstam, a religious studies professor at King's University College, University of Western Ontario, and Ravit Reichman, an English professor at Brown University. The featured speakers were, in order of their presentations, Jacky O'Connor (literature, Boise State University), Roger Berkowitz (political science, Bard College), Annette Houlihan (criminology, Murdoch University School of Law), and William "Chip" Carter, Jr. (law, Temple University). (One of Professor Carter's colleagues at Temple happens to be David Hoffman, whose work I blogged about last year following a conference presentation.)

Getting the most out of fresh pastured eggs
- v
- VongolaDecimo Aug 3, 2013 09:08 AM
I just bought some eggs from Grazin' Angus Acres and they were definitely a splurge in comparison to regular eggs you get at the supermarket. At $10 a dozen, I dont want to waste it. What would you recommend to best appreciate their flavor? Seeing as they're fresh, boiled is probably out of the question. I can see eggs benedict and oeufs en cocotte as a good option. I suspect brioche would also be a good idea as would anything with a custard like an apricot flan tart. Maybe even fresh pasta. Or would fresh eggs be wasted on things like these?
Soft boiled, three minute eggs. Serve with a slice of the best bread you can find, lightly toasted.
Simpler the better, I say. Sunnyside-up on toast, to appreciate the deep color of the yolk, and--I'm not sure what the names are--but fresh fried eggs have two distinct levels of egg white, with a higher kind of "shoulder" surrounding the yolk, and then a flatter part of white. Fresher eggs have great definition between the whites, whereas older eggs have the whites more broken down into oneness.
My personal favorite is over-easy on toast.
I think their freshness will be less apparent, the more they are worked into other forms and elements. That said, I could be wrong about some things I've never tried, like souffles.
re: Bada Bing
We find the texture of the whites 'firmer.' And the yolks are just so darned perky :) A Serious Eats test showed that no one could tell a difference in taste and I don't think I can.
Here's a link from our local co-op re pastured eggs. If you go to the bottom of page three you'll see the nutritional data which is what sold me on the notion of paying (only)$9/dz.
My fave is soft poached or over very easy.
re: c oliver
The linked article contains at least one glaring piece of misinformation: It is illegal to feed chickens hormones in the U.S. Still buy local, though.
re: pikawicca
I missed that, pika. I'm somewhat associated with the co-op and will point this out to them. Thanks.
re: c oliver
however, i think a lot of consumers aren't aware of that. i see no-hormones on all sorts of egg cartons.
re: hotoynoodle
I actually read something about that.
re: Bada Bing
+1 on keeping it simple. Over easy or poached on toast. Or, if it were still in season, with asparagus. Or on top of a salad of mixed lettuce greens.
The less cooking the better. Eggs Benedict is a great idea. I don't think you'd notice any difference in things like custard or brioche.
I get eggs from my farmer's market all the time (but they are much less than yours ... $5/dozen). Compared to grocery store, what I notice:
1) Yolks are more orange
2) Whites are thicker - They are noticeably thicker right around the yolk.
3) They keep a lot longer.
I took a soufflé class a few months ago and the instructor said that older egg whites are better for soufflés, so don't use these fresh eggs in something like that.
re: stockholm28
Thanks for the pointer on souffle.
I do know that fresh eggs are positively to be avoided for hard-boiling. For that, you want eggs on their last (l)eggs... Couldn't resist....
re: Bada Bing
Not so if you steam, rather than poach them. Steam for 18 minutes, immediately cool under cold running water, and peel. Works even with a just-laid egg. I like to crack it, then roll it around on the counter; the peel usually comes off in a single spiral.
re: Bada Bing
because most eggs are sold washed in the states, you can "age" the eggs, by leaving them at room temp. i think i read that 24 hours at room temp is equivalent to one week in the fridge. i do this often.
Salad Lyonnaise
Yes, I know, that it's basically a salad with a poached egg draped over it. But for me, for some odd reason, the combination of fresh greens (usu. some frisée or arugula), crisp bacon, a carefully, and lightly poached egg and some warm vinaigrette is just magical.
And the crown jewel of the dish really is a fresh poached egg, the fabric that brings the entire dish together.
$10 a dozen!! Holy Cow!!! $3 a dozen is max around here. I get $2.50 for mine and make money! ~ At $10 a dozen I wouldn't include them in anything...just eat the eggs your way.
re: Uncle Bob
There's a difference between pastured eggs and what a lot of people get from roadside stands or farmers markets. Pastured eggs are from chickens that are out in the pasture with cows, sheep, etc. They're eating grubs and other yummy things. The ones I'm getting are from hens that go into their portable coop at night (mounted on a little flatbed trailer). When the livestock is moved, so are the chickens.
re: c oliver
Trust me, I understand. I also understand that anyone that pays $10 a dozen for eggs, be they pastured, free range or whatever else you wanna call it is getting taken advantage of. To put it nicely!
re: Uncle Bob
So are your hens out with the other animals every day eating all those yummy bugs and plants? I'm getting what I pay for, a super nutritious food.
• 1/3 less cholesterol
• 1/4 less saturated fat
• 2/3more vitamin A
• 5 timesmore vitamin D
• 3 timesmore vitamin E
• 2 timesmore omega-3
fatty acids
• 7 timesmore beta carotene
As well as 4-5 time more calcium. The list goes on.
re: c oliver
No other animals. (Like this makes any difference) They do eat bugs and plants but no cow dung to peck in. They have their on 15 acre pasture to roam in. How about yours???
Sorry you are paying so much! I really am!
re: Uncle Bob
Actually I'm glad I'm paying that much. They come from a family farm and it's insanely hard to make a living farming. I can afford it. I want small farms and ranches to succeed. You might enjoy this link:
re: c oliver
re: c oliver
Obviously the CoL is higher in your area, but I don't care if you're Bill Gates, $10/doz. is absurd. It's one thing to support your local ag., it's another to be exploited.
re: Scoutmaster
In your humble opinion, of course. sedimental below mentioned that her hobby costs $5/dz. There's a difference between having chickens in your yard and giving them what they need to produce the kinds of eggs we're discussing.
re: c oliver
I have several local sources for pastured eggs from hobbyists ranging from $1.25-$3.50. Even the FM has them for $3.
re: Scoutmaster
Just repeating what sedimental reported. Cost of feed = $5/dz. She may be feeding higher quality feed. Like "organic," "natural," etc. people can call chickens pastured when they're not really. You know, like free range. My neighbor who used to give me eggs had hers in a pen and they got feed and that was it.
re: Scoutmaster
The cost of a small flock is very individual. I pay 30 bucks per month for their store bought feed alone. Then I supliment that too. I could pay just buy the GMO layer chow but it shows in the eggs, IMO. I also have a heated hen house for the cold months. I change the bedding frequently for cleanliness and pests. I use vet services if I am worried about a disease or illness. All this costs money. So, 5 bucks a dozen at least pays for my hobby.
Some people just set the chickens out in the pasture, feed them scaps and collect the eggs. They survive and give eggs either way. So, costs can really be different for each situation.
re: sedimental
Thanks for explaining it as an insider in a way I never could.
re: c oliver
But prices will vary. The people I bought eggs from for 10 years are farmers. With a business. I trust their business ability. When I moved from that town I was paying 4.50/dozen. I have no reason to believe that they were selling them at a loss.
It's just going to vary from place to place. And I suspect because this is not a hobby for them but part of their farm business, they might have more knowledge and ability to keep prices lower than a hobbyist would have.
re: debbiel
If you looked at the site I linked, you'll see it's a multi-generation farm/ranch, not a hobby.
re: c oliver
re: c oliver
I am confused why being pastured with other livestock makes them better?
I have 14 hens and 1 rooster eating fermented organic Scratch and Peck feed and completely free ranging on about 1/2-3/4 of an acre. They also get quality table scraps and black oil sunflower seeds, plus the occasional dried mealworms.
When they finally start laying in the next couple of weeks, I expect the best possible eggs.
re: Becca Porter
Cause of the goodies in the poop :) And when one DOES have cows, etc. the hens keep the mosquito population lower. Another thing I learned from that article is that the eggs you see labeled "vegetarian" really aren't what you want since chickens are omnivores. Never thought about that before.
re: c oliver
those "vegetarian" hens are most often being fed soy and corn. not a chicken's first choice.
re: hotoynoodle
Kinda like cows.
re: hotoynoodle
I don't know about soy, but our chickens LOVE corn. I understand it's not the healthiest for them - somebody once told me that feeding nothing but cracked corn to chickens is akin to feeding your teenagers an exclusive diet of Snickers bars and Pepsi.
re: Uncle Bob
It would be interesting to see what the range of price is around the country. I pay $4.50-$4.75/dozen, for eggs as described by c oliver.
re: debbiel
OP pays $10, I pay $9 and could probably get them for a dollar or more less from the farm. The cost of living in the area where the farm is isn't high. It's rural, away from even a small city.
re: debbiel
$3.50 to $4 at my FM for pastured eggs grown by farmers who sell at the FM. I've visited two of the farms - the chickens are out there during the day eating bugs amidst the veggies and mingling with cows, sheep, and pigs. DC area.
re: jayt90
re: c oliver
I am just being honest in my description.
Most pastured chickens have access to a GMO feed bin. Ask and you will find out. The reason is cost. Organic feed with a similar nutritional analysis is available at the feed stores, but at double the cost.
Since the chickens are picking up nutrients and vitamins off the ground, most farmgate growers opt for a low cost supplement.
One other point: When I had backyard chickens, I was puzzled by the tags on the feed bags, showing nutritional analysis but never showing ingredients. I called, and the list was sent to me, but never published, organic or otherwise.
re: jayt90
I think you must be referring to your area. There is non-GMO feed available and, yes, it's expensive. That's probably why I'm paying quadruple what you pay. Just saying.
re: c oliver
I am lucky to get a 40 lb bag of organic soy/corn feed for $30 through an Azure Standard drop (which is also great for lots of other organic food). I ferment my feed. It has a ton of benefits, including the fact that it cuts the amount needed way down and virtually eliminates waste.
I feed 15 chickens on about 45 lbs a month.
re: Becca Porter
Thanks for that. Does organic mean non-GMO?
re: c oliver
Yes. Though you can also have non-gmo without the organic designation.
re: Becca Porter
Thanks. Yeah, I understand that the organic designation can just be too expensive for some ranchers and farmers to go for.
re: c oliver
Regular layer feed, with calcium for shells costs $15 a bag in my town. I'd be hard pressed to pay $30, and looking at the excellent quality of soy and corn grown in my county, I wouldn't even ask about GMO.
Organic feed is super expensive and the public is not on board.
Too many regulations and not enough benefit, plus lots of wiggle room for unscrupulous operators.
re: Becca Porter
So Becca you are saying your feed cost runs about $1 per dozen? Assuming you pick up about a dozen per day off of 15 hens.
re: Uncle Bob
Yeah. My chickens are being stubborn though. They still haven't laid at 19 1/2 weeks. I guess it would be more if you count in the 5-6 months you're feeding them, but not getting eggs.
Plus, the cost of pine shavings, grit, and the occasional mealworms. Organic/free-range eggs go for about $3 a dozen in my area.
re: Becca Porter
I always figured somewhere around 26 weeks (+or-) as the onset of lay. ~~ Yep there's always incidentals...grit, oyster shell, shavings, scratch, etc. but those cost are so minimal over all.
Just sold 4 dozen, and I mean JUST while I was typing this a phone call for 4 more. First lady gave me 14 cartons. I never buy cartons.
Funny story. My mother born in 1917 as a young girl was well acquainted with chickens, milk cows and the like. Really late in her life she had the opportunity to visit with a family out of New Orleans who had bought the "Old Place" and remodeled it. After lunch they toured the house and ask her many, many questions about the house and her living there. One question was why there were two small holes in the kitchen floor. The answer was.. that is where the 'ice box' sat. The holes allowed the water from the melting ice to drip under the house.....where my grandfather had placed an old dish pan for the chickens to drink. He claimed that his chickens were the only chickens in the county that had ice water to drink!! Hahahahaha!!
When it is brutally hot here (most of the summer) I place two liter coke bottles filled with water and frozen into the waterers...So my chickens have ice water to drink too :)
A hard-cooked pastured egg is a true delight, plain or deviled.
I wait a week before hard-cooking them. I've read those SeriousEats claims and don't believe they are correct.
I save the poultry farm's eggs for scrambling, frying, and the other traditional egg dishes. Popovers and brioche would be good choices for baking with them, but for most baking, custards, and the like, the supermarket eggs not only will do, but are probably preferable. I find that pastured eggs taste a lot eggier than supermarket ones and I do not want my custard pie to taste like scrambled eggs. I have not made pasta with pastured eggs but I think that would be good if the taste of egg noodle
goes well with the rest of the dish, such as in lasagne or carbonara. With marinara sauce, maybe not so much.
re: greygarious
re: greygarious
I've tried to talk myself into thinking the flavor is better but I just can't in honesty say I notice a difference. But definitely the textures. And with the HUGE nutritional benefit it makes it worth it for us anyway.
re: greygarious
There's also the possibility of eggs in the dish itself and not the pasta. Pasta carbonara with pastured eggs would be YUM!
I recently bought a dozen of pastured eggs and have never looked back. I used to not really enjoy eggs, but now I can't get enough of them. I know the evidence is that I can't taste the difference, but either way they are good eggs. I'm shocked you're paying $10 a dozen which is crazy, I pay $4.50 but live in a place with a pretty reasonable cost of living and the farm is close by. I have enjoyed them in all forms, but I think they are great poached or sunny side up, over easy with the bright yellow runny yolk.
re: fldhkybnva
I could probably pay somewhat less if I went to their farm but #1 I want to support our local co-op and #2 driving there and back would eat up any savings. I'm like you. After some months of having them, I really don't want any other kind of egg. I'm fixing a kale salad tonight that always has a soft poached egg on it. Leaving it out.
re: c oliver
Here is a nice write up about the nutritional differences in eggs:
I have a small flock of around 12 to 15 chickens at any given time. I get about a dozen a day. Like other small scale folks like me (that sell to others by word of mouth or at the local FM), feed quality is really important and supplementing their diet with flax,quality supplements and allowing for them to eat bugs,slugs and weeds are important and cannot be duplicated in large scale operations. All small chicken owners that I know take pride in what they feed their girls, the happiness and healthiness of their flock and the cleanliness of the hen house.
They taste different, rich. I know ATC did a blind tasting, but I can taste a difference easily in the yolks. Whites taste the same.
I sell mine for 5 dollars a dozen. It pays for the cost of the feed. I am not going to quit my day job....it is a hobby that is fun and rewarding. I think buying from the small flock owners and promoting this level of stewardship, is a wonderful thing to do :)
re: sedimental
:) That's the article that MY article sourced from! I made the switch based on that. Pretty hard to argue with, isn't it? Bob and I really like eggs and now we get lots more benefit from them. I congratulate you for what you do.
re: sedimental
re: pikawicca
I agree. I actually think the yolk has much more flavor when fully cooked and often when I'm eating a runny yolk I ponder what I taste as a pretty mild flavor and wonder why I'm so drawn to them but I think it's the creamy mouth feel
re: pikawicca
pika, sometimes "mouth feel" is the only word that works. And I agree with you. There's just more texture to these eggs.
I've had their eggs as well and they are truly spectacular. I do think the may be the most expensive eggs at the market though!
I love using the yolks to make a sauce for pasta along with pepper and a bit of parmesan cheese. I think the pastured eggs make that dish a near perfect dish. As others have said though, you'd probably want to eat some of them simply poached or sauteed. Enjoy and report back!
re: JeremyEG
And the color in carbonara etc. is so wonderful.
re: c oliver
Carbonara, with a raw egg yolk put on top of each serving as it goes to the table--rich but who cares.
re: escondido123
Everything in moderation including moderation!
I tried pastured eggs for the first time a while back. Yes, the yolks are beautiful, and the eggs _seem_ to taste better, although not markedly. The main thing I noticed, though, is a distinct gamy smell when cooking them (usually scrambled or fried over medium). I was concerned when I first caught that odor, because if they tasted like they smelled, I was sure I wouldn't like them. Turns out that the flavor isn't much different that regular eggs, to me at least.
$7 per dozen for small eggs at the farmers market here in Las Vegas - the eggs come from the nearby Moapa Valley.
Having never seen pastured eggs before, and since I was buying them around Easter, this city boy assumed that someone was getting creative with the pastel tints. GF, who grew up in a rural area, assured me that those colors occurred naturally and were due to the varied diet of the chickens. :o)
re: Steve Green
re: Steve Green
I love opening the carton and seeing all the great colors and sizes. Got one recently that was brown/beige speckled with texture on it.
I do as little as possible to them; over easy or sunny side up in lots of local butter.
I usually buy Jumbos at my FM for $4.50 dz. I don't know if they are pastured but they are the best eggs I have ever eaten. Huge golden yolks and a creamy texture. They come from a small farm whose primary business is apples (Zestars and my current favorite Sweet Tangos). Until apple harvest time they sell dried apples and eggs. The grandmother/father work one FM; the daughter and her adult daughter work another. They sell out shortly after the opening bell so I think their output is relatively small.
I never ate eggs until I tried local farm fresh eggs for the first time - what a revelation!

Imperial Commander is on track to return to action in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday.
The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained 11-year-old has not been seen since pulling up in last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup, which was his first run since he won the Haydock race in 2010.
Twiston-Davies said: "He has been very good. I haven't had him back very long and it was a case of had he taken one wrong step then we wouldn't have got him to the Betfair. It's so difficult when you have got a horse that has had a leg (problem), but he is as fit as I can get him without having had a run."
The Naunton handler added: "Everyone says is he as good as he was, but who can say?"

November 24, 2014
LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker says he isn't ruling out joining the field of Republicans running for president in 2016.
Corker, who is two years into his second term, said Wednesday that any decision on a White House bid would wait until next year. He also noted that his wife, Elizabeth, may be wary of the intense media attention on the presidential field.
Any possible move to join the race could put Corker against fellow Republicans with higher national profiles such as potential candidates Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Following his election in 2006, Corker became deeply involved in negotiations on the auto bailout and financial regulations. His willingness to work with Democratic colleagues has raised some criticism among the conservative base of the GOP.
He was speaking at a Chamber of Commerce appearance in Lawrenceburg, about 70 miles south of Nashville.

At one point, many sefardic communities followed the Mishneh Torah. As time went on, it seems that the sefardim accepted the Beit Yosef. Besides Yemenities, were there any communities who until recently mainly followed the halachot of the Mishneh Torah? Some one told me that there was a city in Morroco that completely followed the Rambam. Does anybody know if that is correct?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
If I had any doubts about the quality of Malden High School, they were dismissed after talking with parents and students of other local high schools. Behavior such as I was told would not be allowed at MHS and I am grateful for administration, staff and school board that issues discipline based on procedure and law. I feel we have great parent involvement and there is a good range of activities offered to students, leadership is strong and teacher quality is high.
New administrators have done a wonder job of discipline both in the halls and at events. Their security camera system and the alternative school have also eliminated a lot of problems too. My kids go there and love it.
I have attended Malden school for about all my life, and i think that all the school thinks about is the gym and the football and basketball. when it comes to protecting the students, the do poorly of it. i hat it and that is the reason i am moving. they have unfair judgement and rulings when it comes to disciplining!!
I attended Malden up until my senior year. While the Arts is sometimes not given the credit it deserves, the ability for the student to achieve in the field of fine arts is certainly accessible. I graduated from a prestigious fine arts academy in the U.S. I can say that any opportunity I wanted was made available to me during the course of my education at Malden. The faculty (including the administrators) couldn't have been more supportive! The Arts is up and coming in this school - I cite their numerous talent awards at Beta Conventions, both on the state and national level - as well as favorable comments at previous Solo/Ensemble competitions. I found many teachers willing to go the extra mile for their students and their work should not be slighted.
I graduated from Malden High School as well. This school is not run by sports airheads. We have for the most part, genuine administrators as well as school board members. I will agree to however, that the arts program is most often put on the back burner unlike many other areas. If the school would put more emphasis on fine arts in education, they would probably see test scores rising, and more importantly, a students love for the arts.
I graduated from Malden High, and after visiting with some of the teachers for college, I see no improvement. The school is ran by 'sports loving' airheads. They have cliques that run all the other teachers down. They never support the Arts like music or art. The principals as well as the administrators need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Emmanuel is headed to JavaOne, where you can see his hands-on presentations: live on stage coding showing the latest features of Hibernate Search and Bean Validation. It's a unique experience to see how easy it is to get started with these technologies, and also what powerful features they can provide you in just one hour coding.
Hibernate Search: Geolocalized Search in Java EE 7 in 59 Minutes
Full link: Geolocalized Search in Java EE 7 in 59 Minutes with Hibernate Search [BOF3307]
Search is passé; we need Foursquare-style location and should let people search in specific vicinities. And no, you don't have to leave Java or JavaEE to make this a breeze. This session shows you how to boost your existing applications by easily adding full-text search, spatial search, faceting, and even all at the same time! Faceted results return the list of results as well as their count by category—price range, brand, colour, and so on. This session takes an existing JavaEE7–based application and adds search services via Hibernate Search. It favours code and step-by-step IDE work over slides.

Bean Validation: What Does It Look Like in Practice?
Full link: Bean Validation: What Does It Look Like in Practice? [CON3368]
Java EE 7 is a very rich environment. This session takes you on a practical code-driven Bean Validation walk-through: how to use it in your applications and what not to do—all with an example-driven approach. The presentation gradually adds constraints and validations to an existing application and examines many features, both old and new, including constraint declaration, custom constraint, method validation, EL-based message interpolation, JAX-RS integration, and many more.
