Phoenix Suns
O'Neal feels great, wants to bring physicality to Suns
When the Phoenix Suns came to contract terms with free agent veteran center Jermaine O'Neal, one of the first questions that came to mind was "can he still play?"
It is a fair question. After all, O'Neal didn't look at all like a six-time All-Star during his two-year stint with the Boston Celtics. With Boston, he played in just 49 games, averaging 5.2 points per game in limited minutes.
After considering retirement, O'Neal went to Germany to have the Orthokine knee procedure both Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and former Sun Grant Hill had, and the center says it's done wonders for him.
"It's really put me in a fantastic position, I feel to be very successful physically for the Suns this year," O'Neal said during a media conference call Wednesday morning. "It allowed me to go back and do some things that I haven't been able to do the last five or six years."
O'Neal says Bryant was a source of information about the procedure, but he was still hesitant to get it done since it hasn't been approved by the FDA in the United States.
"Kobe called me last year and we talked about it, but I wasn't quite sure," he said. "Anytime you hear that something isn't FDA approved, you feel like your leg is going to fall off in five years or something. I educated myself this past year about the procedure and the FDA, as well.
"When I saw the impact as far as minutes played that Kobe had this year, it was impressive. I said to myself 'hey, what do I have to lose?' If it doesn't turn out, I feel great about the 16 years I've played, and I'll go off into the business world."
While Bryant was instrumental in O'Neal having the knee procedure, Hill was very much a factor in his choosing Phoenix as a free agent destination.
"Myself, him and Kobe were in Germany having the procedure done, and he started talking about them and he was saying 'you just really need to consider them,' -- and at that time it was two and half months ago and I wasn't really even thinking about free agency," O'Neal said. "When I got the call that Phoenix wanted to come in and talk to me, I thought that it was a crazy coincidence."
O'Neal is only 33 years of age, but since he was a first round draft pick of the Indiana Pacers in 1996 as a 17-year-old, he's got lot of miles on his body. And considering the Suns training staff's sterling league-wide reputation for working with older, sometimes injury-prone players, Phoenix made sense.
"I always knew that their training staff was phenomenal," he said. "That was kind of the word around the league amongst the players, that the training staff can really take a body and put three or four years on it by the things that they do to the body. That did have an impact on my decision, as well."
Phoenix has also had the reputation of a place where older players come to cash a paycheck and end their careers before riding off into the sunset, but O'Neal wants to be a leader on what's become a much younger roster. He also wants to shift the decades-old label on the franchise that they're too nice -- subject that came up in discussions with president of basketball operations Lon Babby, general manager Lance Blanks and head coach Alvin Gentry.
"We spoke a little bit about the niceness of the team and how the view on the outside looking in that Phoenix has always been a talented team, but they've also been considered very nice," he said. "And any time you're considered very nice, other teams feel like they have the opportunity of beating you.
"I think that's one thing that my Indiana teams always had. You think about those Detroit teams with Rip [Hamilton] and Rasheed [Wallace] and the Boston Celtics teams with Kevin [Garnett] and those guys -- they've always been perceived as hard-nosed, physical, beatdown-type of teams who had a lot of talent. Those are some of the things that I want to bring to this team."

problem with local host

Jesse Diaz (4 posts)
It seems that some of the libraries and their functions have been updated since the release of this book causing a slightly bumpy introduction to web-development for me. I have been able to work around most of the issues by updating dependencies when I can or using older versions of libraries when I can't, but this strategy has reached its limit and I have run into a thorny issue. I get this stack trace when I try to run my app on a local-host server:
I think I probably have a couple of things loaded in here that I don't need, but my project.clj file looks like this and has morphed from trial and error, based on what will make the app run:
The other files are basically like what you would expect. Could someone please help unstick me so I can get back into the swing of my tutorial? Also, any tips on how to efficiently update code based on deprecated libraries would be helpful. I apologize for the lengthy amounts of code, but I am still a noob and not exactly sure where the problem lies. I am suspecting that it has to do something with the database dependencies, because specifically sql/with-connection has come up as deprecated in my google searches for the [org.clojure/java.jdbc "0.2.3"] dependency, which is now on version 0.3.3.

This just in: some members of the Tea Party movement have said racist things in public, and displayed racist slogans and images at public events. This is apparently completely acceptable in conservative circles. What's not acceptable, it seems, is pointing out the public racism when it happens.
A dustup between the NAACP and the Tea Party movement throws the racist streak in modern conservatism into stark, ugly relief. It's the next chapter in a sordid tale that predates our Republic. But the good news? The Tea Party's visible virulence is proof that things are getting better.

The Virals are put to the ultimate test when they find a geocache containing an ornate puzzle box. Shelton decodes the cipher inside, only to find more tantalizing clues left by "The Gamemaster." A second, greater geocache is within reach--if the Virals are up to the challenge.
But the hunt takes a dark turn when Tory locates the other box--a fake bomb, along with a sinister proposal from The Gamemaster. Now, the real game has begun: another bomb is out there--a real one--and the clock is ticking.

US Navy SEAL Store carries the coveted and highly sought after Challenge coins. Navy SEALs coins, or Navy SEAL challenge coins as they are called are given to members upon joining, as an award to improve morale and as a way to commemorate special achievement within the ranks of the military. The history of the use of challenge coins began in the U.S. Army Air Force. During WWI, the flying squadrons were manned by volunteer pilots from all walks of life. One rather wealthy volunteer pilot ordered small medallion coins struck. He used these coins to give to the other pilots in his squadron as tokens of appreciation for their service and dedication to the country. During the Vietnam War soldiers carried metals coins emblazoned with a crest for luck. If you were in a bar and did not have your coin with you, you were made to buy drinks for all who had their coins. So the next time you are in a military bar, lay your challenge coin on the bar and those who don't produce one will have to buy drinks! On a more serious note, challenge coins are given out routinely by commanders for jobs well done or for special occasions. President Clinton had several racks of challenge coins he was given by U.S. military members and they are now on display at the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. Our Navy SEAL challenge coins are the 'real deal' and are cast in heavy bronze.

PITTSBURGH - NOVEMBER 15: Rey Maualuga #58 of the Cincinnati Bengals huddles with teammates prior to taking the field for their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on November 15, 2009 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Bengals defeated the Steelers 18-12. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
A judge dismissed an assault charge against Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga on Thursday after learning the dispute was settled in mediation. He still faces possible punishment from the NFL under its personal conduct policy. Maualuga was charged with misdemeanor assault after an employee at a downtown bar told police that the middle linebacker punched him in the face on Feb. 5. The case was referred to mediation. Maualuga appeared in Hamilton County Municipal Court on Thursday for an update hearing that lasted less than 2 minutes. Judge Heather S. Russell dismissed the case after prosecutors said neither Maualuga nor the bar employee wanted to pursue the matter. ''Thank you judge,'' Maualuga said, then left the courthouse quickly. He could be punished by the NFL for getting in trouble a second time. The league fined him two game checks and made him forfeit a two-week share of his signing bonus in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to drunken driving. Police in northern Ken...

Re: Where?
I can't say exactly, but surely no more than 250 meters. The horse is at the entrance to the site. I hope you realize it's not the real "Trojan Horse," just something built in modern times that exemplifies the historical significance of the site.

Re: Where?
There are two 'Trojan Horses'. One is at the information centre at the entrance to the Troia archelogical site (Hisarlik "Place of Fortresses" is the modern name for the site of ancient Troy)[Wikipedia]. The other is the statue given to the city of Canakkale from the movie 'Troy.' See my travel page on Turkey - Things to do - Troy.

A musical journey like nothing you've experienced before is happening February 2014. We're talking about Progressive Nation at Sea, an infusion of music and technique that will heighten your senses in a way no other vacation ever could! Imagine a couple thousand prog enthusiasts surrounding you on the Norwegian Pearl as we set sail from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay and Freeport February 18-22, 2014. PROGRESSIVE NATION founder Mike Portnoy elaborates: "In 2008 & 2009, I created a touring package called "Progressive Nation" and with Dream Theater headlining, we did three full tours (two in North America and one in Europe) that showcased a variety of bands that embraced the spirit and musicality of progressive music. Well after a 5 year hiatus, I have decided to resurrect Progressive Nation and this time we are taking it to the seas! But rather than a 4 band bill like previous Progressive Nation tours, we have expanded the bill to OVER A DOZEN of today's greatest progressive bands, musicians and artists! Myself and my former DT bandmate Derek Sherinian have teamed up with Sixthman as well as our friends at Inside Out Music and look forward to a very successful inaugural launch of PROGRESSIVE NATION AT SEA." This music festival at sea gives you an experience that one on land just can't match. In addition to 5 days in the beautiful Caribbean, music will be happening from morning till late at night. Some of the best experimental music might be in the wee morning hours in an unscheduled jam by the artists! When you finally call it a night (or a morning) you can head back to your comfortable room and get some rest before getting into the action all over again. Did we mention you'd be walking around the same place as your musical heroes? Oh yeah, that means you might be having dinner and drinks right next to your favorite musician! Progressive Nation at Sea boasts the musical genius of Transatlantic, Portnoy, Sheehan, MacAlpine, Sherinian, Jon Anderson, Adrian Belew's Power Trio, Devin Townsend Project, King's X, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Pain Of Salvation, Anathema, Riverside, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, The Safety Fire, Tony Harnell & Bumblefoot, Bigelf, Beardfish, The Dear Hunter, Haken, Jolly, Anneke van Giersbergen, Mark Mikel and Next to None. Our home, the Norwegian Pearl, provides many cool amenities to enhance your vacation. It has a bowling alley, full-size basketball court and tennis court, walk/jog track, rock climbing wall, multiple hot tubs, a pool, as well as a casino to try your luck at. Prog fans, don't stay at home and freeze this February! Join Progressive Nation at Sea to help Sixthman make this cruise one that you'll never forget! Cruise Itinerary (Subject to change) Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - Depart Miami, FL (approx 4PM ET) Wednesday, February 19 - Day At Sea Thursday, February 20 - Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas (8AM to 6PM) Friday, February 21 - Grand Bahama Island (8AM to 6PM) Saturday, February 22 - Arrive Miami, FL (approx 8AM ET)

The introduction of the Kenworth T-600 in 1985 marked the industry's first serious attempt to incorporate aerodynamic improvements in truck tractors (see Figure 5-4). The T-600 included features such as a streamlined hood and fenders, an aerodynamic faired bumper, fuel tank fairings, and air filters mounted under the hood. These changes resulted in a significant reduction in aerodynamic drag compared to contemporary tractor models.
Continuing development led to additional improvements such as cab extenders to reduce the gap between tractor and trailer, more aerodynamic mirrors, and full-length side fairings. By 1990 all major truck/tractor manufacturers had introduced aerodynamic models, although "traditional" models continue to be available. See Figure 5-5 for identification of the common aerodynamic features.

Nice Choice VG 1796 Quarter1796 25C VG10 PCGS. B-2, R.3. This is the more "common" of the two known varieties, and is attributed by the 6 in the date nearly touching the bust, and the space between the tops of the TY in LIBERTY.
Walter Breen, in his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, writes of the 1796 quarter: "As both obverse dies contained only 15 stars, they must have been completed before anyone realized that Tennessee would most likely join the Union as the sixteenth state." According to mint records showing delivery dates, about 1,800 impressions struck from the dies followed Tennessee's June 1, 1796 admission.
Soft bluish-gray toning occupies the fields of this Choice VG specimen, highlighting the lighter gray design features. Both sides are nicely defined for the grade, and close examination reveals no marks out of the ordinary for a coin that has seen moderate to heavy circulation. No adjustment marks are readily apparent.

EWTN will take full control of the newspaper on Feb. 1, according to a story on the newspaper's web site. The story quoted a newspaper official as saying that "Due in part to the fallout from revelations regarding the congregation's founder, the Legion of Christ did not have the resources to bring the previous turnaround efforts to fruition." The Vatican on May 1 issued a statement condemning Legion founder Marcial Maciel Degollado who died in 2008 as "immoral" after allegations that he molested as many as 20 teen recruits and was supporting a secret mistress and children with ministry funds. The Legion of Christ took over the newspaper in 1995.

Since your post makes it sound like late MK2 spline is the same as MK3 splines does that means I can probably use a MK3 Grant hub on my late MK2 Jetta?
The hub on Summit Racing (linked below) says it fits 1991 Volkswagen, but only the Fox. Every other Jetta it fits is 1980 - 1988, which I assume means its small spline.

Dutch Masters Reviews
These are the pinnacle of the Dutch Masters series IMO. i am so happy they brought these back, and Redesigned! they have Amazing honey taste and a beautiful fresh leaf. 5/5 all day.
I enjoy a glass of wine or a brandy with a cigar. My brother-in-law turned me on to these and I keep coming back. I ve tried expensive, designer, hand rolled etc, but I keep coming back. They are perfect. Excellent price, smooth, mild, aromatic, nothing pretentious, just a good regular guy cigar.
These cigars appear to be fresh, but don t draw well at all. Don t stay lit. Go with the Honey Sports, they are much better.
My first experience with the Palma was last week. I am an OTR truck driver and I bought aa couple singles at the service plaza in Somerset, PA while driving along the PA turnpike.They didn t have my usual brand so I thought I would give the Dutch Masters a try...I m hooked!! This is such a smooth cigar. Nice taste and aroma. No bitter burning. Smooth draw. My smoke of choice from now on.
I ve had a number of different Vanilla flavored cigars. The Dutch Master Vanilla Sport is by far the best from start to finish. I had been smoking the Jewels Vanilla lately and although the taste is good. They are like candy. They are packed so loose the they burn way to quickly. Highly recommend this cigars for a nice after dinner smoke with a glass of Merlot. Bonus. My wife told me they do not have that stinky cigar smell she hates.
Im back to write another review, it seems my other review was attested.. i stand behind my reviews all day, 100s all day. Dutch Masters Corona Honey Sports / Palma Wine / White Grape / Vanilla / Golden Honey Discontinued / we have been smoking Dutch Masters since 2000. in terms of Machine Made, Product, Appearance, Taste, AND Heritage. only Dutch Masters and Game Garcia Vega see my money. Dutch Masters till i die.
These are the pinnacle of the Dutch Masters series IMO. i am so happy they brought these back, and Redesigned! they have Amazing honey taste and a beautiful fresh leaf. 5/5 all day.
These are a great cigar so good they are almost addicting.95 all the way.
Smoked these a few years back. Still a great cigar for the money.
Have smoked many pricey high end cigars. DM Corona De Luxe is a bargain. Mild yet satisfying. Soft nutty taste. Tastes like tobacco, not candy. Smoked nearly a box full before I began to fully appreciate them. Spend some time with these. Well worth it. Use a cutter.
Opened easily, nice scent of honey. Construction was good except punch off center. Draw was ok so lit anyway. It immediately started to burn unevenly down the side the punch was on. Harsh and poor taste. Clipped it and cleaned loose bits up. After that it was very nice with better draw. Even burn, mild, smooth and nice flavor. The candela wrapper and filler nicely balanced. Surprisingly good ash. Stayed good down to just over an inch left, then started getting hot/harsh and slightly bitter. Overall, very nice, much better than expected with the caveat of clipping and not going with the punch. I used a single edge razor blade.

LP Field, Nashville TN
Richard Cirminiello
Music City
Player Profiles, Histories, & More
Although it got a little dicey
during a four-game, midseason
losing streak, Vanderbilt has
ended its 26-year bowl drought.
After starting 5-0 and even
climbing up to No. 13 in the
polls, the Commodores reverted
back to old form and darn near
fumbled their chance for the
postseason. That sinking feeling
permeated throughout Nashville
until the 'Dores finally broke
through on Nov. 15 with a 31-24
win over Kentucky. The city let
out a collective sigh of relief.
Now matter how it got there or
who it faces, this invitation is
a monumental step for a program
that's spent a generation
searching for momentum and some
positive results. While not a
particularly sexy team, Bobby
Johnson's kids play
fundamentally sound, limit their
mistakes, and are disciplined on
defense. It's that combination
which kept Vandy in just about
every game, even when it was
Vanderbilt last bowled in 1982.
Since then, Boston College has
won 12 postseason games,
including all eight this
century. The Eagles will be
looking to bounce back from a
loss to Virginia Tech in the ACC
Championship game for a second
straight year. After coming so
close to a signature appearance
in the Orange Bowl, the school
might be prone to a letdown.
Don't bank on it. It proved to
have a short memory under Jeff
Jagodzinski last December,
getting past Michigan State in
the Champs Sports Bowl. Coach
Jags impressed in his second
season in Chestnut Hill, leading
a BC team that was supposed to
be rebuilding to nine wins,
including four down the stretch
over Notre Dame, Florida State,
Wake Forest, and Maryland in a
sprint to the ACC Atlantic
crown. Since senior Chris Crane
is done with a broken
collarbone, the staff has been
getting a long look at its
quarterback of the future,
redshirt freshman Dominique
Davis. Regardless of what
happens in Nashville, being the
starter for the last month will
pay enormous dividends in 2009.
Players to watch:
Davis versus the Vandy pass
defense is bad news for BC, so
it'll lean more heavily on
Montel Harris and the ground
game. Already the school
record-holder for rushing yards
by a freshman, he was
instrumental in the Eagles'
drive toward a division title.
Before getting stuffed by
Virginia Tech, he'd gone over
100 yards in three of the prior
four games, and is within a
career-day of 1,000 yards. Most
of Boston College's newsmakers,
however, are on the defensive
side of the ball. LB Mark
Herzlich was a beast in his
junior year, racking up a
team-high 105 tackles and six of
the Eagles' 26 interceptions. If
there's a big play happening,
rest assured that No. 94 won't
be far from the action. Manning
the middle of the line will be
B.J. Raji and Ron
Brace, neither of whom is
easy to move off his base.
Considering that they're 112th
nationally in passing, the
Commodores must somehow find a
way to move the ball on the
ground with beefy Jared
Hawkins against the
country's No. 7 run defense.
Much like its New Year's Eve
dance partner, Vanderbilt is all
about the defense. Florida was
the only team to score more than
24 points on the 'Dores, which
has done a nice job of creating
turnovers and pocket pressure.
The most talented player on
either sideline is CB D.J.
Moore, an NFL-ready
defender, who'll also contribute
as a dangerous return man and an
occasional pass-catcher. At some
point, he'll make a play that
ignites the partisan crowd in
Nashville. Joining Moore in the
secondary is S Ryan Hamilton,
a thumper who'll be instrumental
in run defense. A good
all-around athlete, he's second
on the team with 98 tackles and
had a three-pick game in the
upset of Ole Miss. Now that
Broderick Stewart is done
with a broken leg, Steven
Stone needs to rise up from
his end position. One of the
Commodores' better pass rushers,
he'll be asked to chip in more
than normal in run defense
against a hefty BC front wall.
Boston College will win if...
it keeps gobbling up the
takeaways. The Eagles lead the
country with 36 turnovers
gained, a key reason why they
nearly won an ACC title. If
Boston College can pressure the
already futile Vandy offense
into mistakes, the Commodores
will struggle to reach
double-digits. As it stands now,
they'll need to be precise just
to top their season average of
19 points a game. If the Eagles
can give Davis a few short field
opportunities with turnovers,
this game could get ugly by the
third quarter.
Vanderbilt will win if...
it can pressure Davis into
unforced errors. It's sort of
the same blueprint that Boston
College is staring at for this
game. The Eagles aren't going to
run away and hide with their
offense, so if a few drives end
in turnovers, they'll be in a
four-quarter scrum. In Davis'
last high-profile game with
Virginia Tech, he was picked off
twice and sacked five times,
while guiding his offense to
just a single touchdown. The
Commodores have enough talent,
especially in the back seven, to
produce similar results against
this vanilla Eagle offense.
What will happen: It's
possible that Vanderbilt will
ride the excitement of the
moment and energy of the local
crowd to a mild upset of Boston
College. The more likely
scenario, however, has the
Commodores struggling badly to
score on an Eagle defense that
gives up very little ground,
especially against the run. In
one of the postseason's least
attractive games, Boston College
will win the pivotal turnover
battle and get a game-changing
touchdown from its defense.
Neither team will have a
100-yard rusher or produce more
than 300 yards of total offense,
propelling a couple of
inconsistent kickers into the
Line: Boston College -3.5
... CFN Prediction:
Boston College 23 ...
Vanderbilt 16

You already know this, dmom, but two of my all-time favorites come from Roseanne. Jackie in the bathtub stoned. And "Becky cut the cheese!"
Finding out that Mr. Big's name was.....John. And when Miranda let down her guard when she gave Steve's mom the bath, and when Charlotte got her baby, and when Samantha got her groove back after her breast cancer treatment. So basically the entire last half hour of the Sex & the City series.
When Val is reunited with her twins on Knots Landing.
Every time Jack yells "Dammit!" on 24....
Ed Amnes, on Johnny Carson. And Carson's great line, (which was frequently cut when the clip was reshown) "Welcome to Frontier Briss!"
"The Chicken Dance" from Arrested Development. There are way more moments from that show, but i'm too lazy to think of them now.
The pot smoking episode from Roseanne, same one Stink's talking about(and I wouldn't be surprised to see Onut, Frecky & All Aglow post the same thing )
The episode where DJ "gets caught playing his instrument in Band"
The series finale from Sex and the City
The episode of Sex and the City where Carrie is a "model" for a day and falls on her face
Delta Mu Chi Alpha ΔΜΧΑ
"Oh my god! She's fashion road kill!"
That is my all time favorite TV line, Dmom!
When Ricky finds out Lucy is pregnant and he sings "We're Having A Baby, My Baby & Me." The emotion between the two always gets me choked up because I heard/saw/read that they tried so hard in real life to have children.
Are you tired, rundown, listless? Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?
The whole Vitameatavegimin (sp?) commercial from I Love Lucy is the best!

If you've never ordered a heritage-breed turkey for Thanksgiving, you've never truly enjoyed Thanksgiving. "This is what turkey's supposed to taste like," explains food writer Marian Burros, retired from The New York Times. "When you taste it, you think, 'Oh, this is why people like turkey. It's not just something to put gravy on.'"
These heritage breeds aren't just a foodie's novelty. They're rare birds that once dominated small-scale American agriculture but have since been replaced by a few specialized breeds that have been selected by factory farmers for maximum meat output and their ability to survive cramped, dirty, inhumane conditions. But some agricultural researchers and farmers are working to change all that. The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy is helping to save 12 breeds of turkeys that are nearing extinction in an effort to preserve the genetic diversity that once allowed small American farmers to raise animals unique to their environments and their customers' needs.
Yes, they are more expensive, ranging from $4 to more than $10 a pound. But if you have the means, investing in a heritage breed turkey this Thanksgiving could save an American farm! (And clearly, you'll also be supporting your taste buds, too!)
Reason #1: Taste
Heritage breed turkeys are the result of thousands of years of selective, traditional breeding for beauty, docile nature, ability to put on meat, and of course, excellent flavor. Burros and other heritage turkey lovers unanimously agree that the biggest boost in flavor in a heritage turkey versus a store-bought, broad breasted white type can be detected in the dark meat. "There is a huge flavor difference," says Marjorie Bender, research and technical program director for the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, adding that it even smells better while cooking.
In Burros' NYT blind taste test, she found that the dark meat from heritage breeds was several shades darker and juicier than that of supermarket turkeys that come from industrial farming operations. Heritage breed white meat also provides a slightly better flavor than supermarket brands. Bourbon Red, pictured here, is Burros' favorite heritage turkey (though she says they're all good).
Reason #2: It's Humane
Aside from the general cruelty of super-crowded, super-cheap, industrial turkey production, the way scientists have bred these birds is cruel. They can barely walk, and their massive breasts get in the way of naturally mating—your supermarket bird was artificially inseminated. Commercial turkeys you buy at the supermarket are broad-breasted whites, and they have been cross-bred to grow twice as fast and larger than heritage breeds, with much larger breasts.
They're grown and slaughtered in 14 weeks. "Commercial turkeys have joint and cardiovascular problems because their heart and lungs are an appropriate size for a heritage turkey, but not one twice that size," explains Bender. "Because the birds grow so fast, they put on muscle before their bones and ligaments are ready to carry that type of weight." The heritage breed Narragansett, pictured, grows at a steady pace for six to seven months, so the bird retains ability to behave naturally while living outside.
Reason #3: Food Security
Industry has really put all of its eggs into one basket, so to speak. Industrial producers grow 230 million commercial birds per year—all the fast-growing broad-breasted whites. In contrast, only about 25,000 heritage breed turkeys are raised each year, explains Roger Mastrude, president of the Heritage Turkey Foundation. If the birds in industrial "farms" become susceptible to a certain disease, their immune systems are not as strong as heritage breeds. So theoretically, disease could spread quickly and turkeys would go extinct—if we didn't have heritage breeds.
Good Shepherd Poultry farmer Frank Reese and conservation groups have been crucial in restoring heritage turkey flocks. And to keep building demand, consumers need to be part of the equation. "Even though these birds are rare, in order to save them, we have to eat them," says Bender. "This has been the job of the turkey, if we take that job away from it, it can't survive in a zoo. They can live there, but they don't remain a genetically robust, healthy population. Create demand. Enjoy turkeys."

Find a Heritage Turkey
While supermarket brands often show off a logo bearing the photo of a heritage breed turkey in front of a small family farm barn, don't be tricked. Here's how to find heritage breed turkeys:
1. Visit Local Harvest to see if any farmers in your area raise heritage breed turkeys.
2. Ayrshire Farm in Virginia is sold out of fresh turkeys this year but has a few frozen heritage turkeys that were once part of the farm's flock of over 3,000 heritage birds. They are certified organic and certified humane.
3. Heritage Foods USA sells farmers' heritage breed turkeys, too.

Heritage Turkey Cooking Tips
Cooking a heritage breed turkey is different than cooking a commercial supermarket bird.
Here are some tips from Bender:
• Slow, moist heat is the key.
• Pay attention to your bird in the oven. Heritage breeds require less cooking time than factory birds.
• Cook at a lower temperature, around 325 degrees.
• Break the skin away from the flesh and place a pat of butter there.
• Use a folded cheesecloth dipped in turkey juice to baste.
• If you don't care about cooking the more perfect-looking turkey, cook it flipped over. The juices from the fattier dark meat will moisten the trimmer white meat.
• If you use a stuffing, consider trying something that provides moisture, like onions, carrots, or apples.
• You can cover the legs and sides with foil because they finish baking faster.
