Premiere: Bobby Tank - Waterphone Shadows
Here's a brand new track from London producer Bobby Tank, taken from his upcoming EP.
Exclusively stream the title track from the outstandingly sultry and ecstatic EP by London-based producer Bobby Tank, forthcoming on MofoHifi this May.
Published: 11/04/12
Out of all the emerging great new artists and breakthrough producers in the recent year, London's Bobby Tank, whose sound is a phenomenal gush of unrestrained emotions, easily grabbed a spot and became one of my favourites.
His latest output 'Afterburn' EP captures the seductive, bold, compellingly euphoric qualities that I love about the Warp-esque digital sounds that Rustie champions. Title track gets straight to the point – the clean, stripped down melody is made much denser and sleazier by the over-excited, meshed-up, consistent bursts of short pads and gliding synth notes. The 80s-resembling video game snippets keep everything tight and firmly grounded within the track itself; the recycling of the short, loopy vocal sample keeps alive the rhythmic and melodic intricacies, while adding another dimension to the labyrinthine array of sounds. Vector Beach follows a similar pattern, while the rest of the EP take on a more subdued approach. This 4-track release certainly has a propulsive and energetic presence, and it's the kind of listen that'll leave you feeling revitalised.

Two Tongan police officers have been charged with manslaughter after a 21-year-old died following an alleged fight at a party, local news reports say.
The charges come three months after a South Auckland Constable Kali Fungavaka died in hospital after he was allegedly assaulted while in custody at the Nuku'alofa central police station
Police Commissioner Grant O'Fee said three off-duty police officers argued with the victim at the party, Matangi Tonga Online reported.
Two male police constables in their 20's were remanded to appear at the Nuku'alofa Magistrate's Court, on Monday November 19.
"This is not what we need at all, and my only message to the public is that we would continue to treat police officers like anyone else," O'Fee told the Tongan news site.
"And if police officers offend they are subject to the same law as everyone else."
Police had launched an investigation into the incident.
Tongan police officers were also charged with manslaughter after Fungavaka's death on August 17.
He was in the country for a family funeral and had been arrested for public drunkenness and allegedly assaulted in custody.
The charged officers are on bail until a court hearing.

McAfee Australia Internet Security Suite 2009
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 is the latest iteration of security giant McAfee's internet security suite, featuring Artemis, a new internet-based malware detection feature.
- Wide array of features
- Doesn't quite compare to the score of about 99 percent for top performers in AV-Test.org's tests such as the Avira security suite and the Norton security suite
Bottom Line
You'll find a wide array of features in McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009, including backups, parental controls and antispam, along with smaller offerings such as a file shredder. And the suite did a decent job at detecting malicious software in tests. But for protecting your PC, you have superior alternatives.
Price$ 99.95 (AUD)
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 is the latest iteration of security giant McAfee's internet security suite, featuring Artemis, a new internet-based malware detection feature.
Offsetting Artemis and McAfee's otherwise generally good malware detection rate, however, were its slow scanning speed, its interface annoyances, and its very poor performance in proactive, behavioural detection tests.
In AV-Test.org's malware-detection tests, which use 654,914 collected malware samples and then measure how well antivirus detects the nasties, McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 performed respectably.
It caught 97.4 percent of malware thrown at it, although McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 lagged with a 90 percent success rate at identifying spyware varieties that steal passwords and financial information.
These results mean that McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 doesn't quite compare to the score of about 99 percent for top performers such as the Avira security suite and the Norton security suite, but is much better than the sorry 55.7 percent rate that the Trend Micro package produced with password stealers.
The new Artemis feature sends a signature of to-be-scanned files over the Internet to McAfee's servers, which can then compare the files against a much larger and more up-to-date signature database that the one that resides on your PC. Artemis probably contributed to McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009's decent showing.
On the other hand, McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009's performance in behavioural tests, which examine how well antivirus products can identify unknown malware based solely on how it acts, was dismal. McAfee's package was able to warn about some aspect of malware behaviour for only 2 out of 15 samples, or 13 percent of the time.
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2009 also failed in scan speed tests. It was second to last of all the 2009 suites we've tested for on-access scan speed, which refers to how quickly files are scanned when you access or open them. It did somewhat better in on-demand speed, which involves scheduled and manually run scans, although it is by no means the quickest.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A Spectacular Dinner At MeMe's In Chalmette.
Almost since the day I found out how excellent is MeMe's in St. Bernard Parish, we have been talking with the owners about having an Eat Club dinner there. For reasons known only to the owners–who need all their seats for busy nights–they will only stage special menus on Monday nights. That even includes their own monthly wine dinners, which go off monthly.
But Monday is a problem for me most weeks. (Singing rehearsal.) But this time of year my Mondays are open. Mary Ann–who has wanted to hold a MeMe's Eat Club as much as the rest of those involved–saw that coming. And so here we are, with a full house.
The MeMe's folks have another offbeat idea that I think I will borrow from them. Their original restaurant was so small that it was tough to stage a special dinner. They discovered that people would understand platooning. So a quarter of the diners show up
very early in the evening. Another batch will turn up around seven, and a third at around eight. I had my doubts about this, but it actually seems to work. I'm sure some of this owes to dining habits in St. Bernard, which has many early diners and many fast eaters.
I arrive as fast as I can after the radio show ends, at around six-thirty. The dining rooms (there are two of them now, from a recent doubling of the restaurant's footprint) are full. Many tables are well along in enjoying the five courses.
MA and I have a deuce table that would be a terrible spot on any other night. It's in the stream of food and drink from the kitchen and the bar. But being here I have people coming over to talk all night long. We agree on almost everything about the dinner. The salad of crabmeat, Creole tomatoes (no place raises better tomatoes than St. Bernard Parish) and cucumbers makes a spectacular beginning.
Things only get better when the oysters Bangkok and Rockefeller appear. Chef Lincoln Owens has many oyster arrows in his quiver, all of them good enough to make anybody's top-oysters list.
Next comes a total surprise. Imagine how good something like this sounds: "Pan-seared redfish with grilled lettuces, chili, garlic and a pineapple-mango infusion." It sounds very hip. But it is far better than just original. From the time the first orders of this make their way to the tables, I hear people proclaim this the dish of the night. Even Mary Ann agrees with me about that. About half the people I talk with wonder how they might get seconds. I am not exaggerating the deliciousness of this.
After those three peaks, we ease off the walls of flavor with a tender pork loin, roasted simply and surrounded by shredded sweet potatoes made to look like a bird's nest. This also had its share of fans, although how to top those last two courses would be a challenge.
Much fuss is made over the three-way dessert, one part of which is a frozen coconut cream pie. MA doesn't often eat desserts, and then only chocolate ones. And she doesn't like coconut, either. But when she was at MeMe's last week they gave her three of these little pies and asked her to give one to me. I never tasted it: she ate all three. And that is saying something.
The big question people have about MeMe's is how it is that they have a chef of Lincoln's caliber. His past history is top-notch, and his food is borderline incredible. We learn that he has a family matter to which he is devoting all his love and energy, and keeping him in St. Bernard Parish. That's a good enough answer for me.
MeMe's. St. Bernard Parish: 712 W. Judge Perez Dr. 504-644-4992.

The Miracle Dog. Checking In At Austin's.
The Marys load the dog Susie into the SUV and take her to the vet. She clambers aboard on her own four legs, as if this were a fun outing. A few months ago, she couldn't walk. The veterinarians unanimously said that she has inoperable bone cancer, and that her days are numbered. But after four changes of a splint on that leg–in which an x-ray showed the front right leg bone completely broken–Susie is getting around on her own. How is it that she's walking? Even running and jumping? She's not as frisky as she was, but this still seems a miracle, the vets say.
The Marys spend the day with newly-arrived Dave (formerly known here as "The Boy"). ML and her fiance are still working on wedding plans, with MA in their immediate midst. I hardly see them at all today.
I head into town at midday, trying to get all my radio station work done so I can depart this Friday on a ten-day vacation. Mary Ann is guest-hosting the show the entire week, and eager to get on with it. We are experimenting with ways to handle one of the most time-consuming problems I have when I take time off: the commercials I ad lib. Usually I record all of them, but that takes twenty or thirty hours. Mary Ann says that anything I can do, she can do too. And that she will voice the spots during her editions of the programs. I ask her to give me a demonstration. Without any hesitation, she knocks out the spot. While driving, yet. It sounds good–maybe even better than what I do. She has the advantage of having a sultry voice. Since most of my listeners are men, that's a plus.
To dinner at Austin's in Metairie, a restaurant where I can seldom get a parking space, let alone a table. But it's a hot Tuesday, a depressant to business. The dinner I have shows something less than the best I've had here in the past. I begin with a cold avocado dish–nearly guacamole, topped with a lot of jumbo lump crabmeat. How much of it is determined by tactile sensations: it's so dark in Austin's that I'm always glad I have my camera light with me when I dine there.
I really want a steak, but that's what I had last time. Instead, the waiter informs me of some very large soft-shell crabs. I get this with the same garnish that would top trout amandine. The oil wasn't hot enough to crisp the crab the way it should have. This is a frequent problem with big softies: they have a way of steaming themselves instead of crusting up.
It seems that every member of the staff knows who I am, including a few who I remember from their days in one or another major downtown restaurant. A lot of waiters move to the suburbs when they get to be my age.
Austin's. Metairie: 5101 West Esplanade Ave. 504-888-5533.
Fresh Pizza Sauce
One of the best ideas I got from Chef Andrea Apuzzo when I was working on his cookbook is that pizza sauce does not have to be cooked. This, at last, revealed the problem with all pizza sauce! The following concoction may seem a little too runny, but trust me–it works, and has a marvelous fresh flavor.
- 1 28-ounce can whole peeled Italian tomatoes, juice strained out and reserved for another recipe
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp. chopped garlic (or more, if you love garlic)
- 6-10 leaves fresh basil
- 6 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process for about 20 seconds. That's it! Do not cook; just ladle it right on the pizza crust and top with cheese and whatever else you like.
Makes enough for about eight twelve-inch pizzas.
Smoked Oysters @ Nathan's
The menu at this Slidell bistro is evenly divided three ways. You have the basics of local cookery (seafood platters, steaks, pasta). The dishes Chef/owner Ross Eirich picked up during his stint as executive chef at Galatoire's. And–most interesting–the original dishes he's dreamed up in the four years since Nathan's opened. This one is particularly impressive. Flour smoked in house coats the oysters, which are then fried. Over the top goes a honey butter sauce whose sweetness is subtle. Finally, crumbles of blue cheese. It's much better than it sounds. And it sounds pretty good. It's certainly Nathan's signature appetizer these days.

Today's Flavor
Today is allegedly National Junk Food Day, but does that really make it stand out from all the other days on the calendar? We all get hooked by some kind of junk food at some time in our lives. The makers of the stuff know exactly what flavors, colors, and textures address subconscious desires. We're hard-wired to like sweet food, for example. And high-fat foods. It doesn't care what kind of sweet or fat it is. So we get trans-fat emulsified with high-fructose corn syrup. Pure garbage.
And we don't just like it. We develop attachments to certain junk foods, and feel we must be loyal to them. Some people will get mad when I say that this applies to doughnuts. Sno-balls. Candy bars. Fried pies (i.e., Hubig's). Most hamburgers and most fries. Rationally, we shouldn't eat any of that stuff. It's not good for you. Nor does it even taste good–not as good as food made with good ingredients in careful ways. A little bit of good eats gives a lot more satisfaction than a lot of junk.
Gourmet Gazetteer
Wild Oat Peak rises to 3992 feet in the Coastal Range of central California, 138 miles south southeast of San Francisco. It's in a wilderness area, reachable only by four-wheel-drive roads and hiking trails. Tree coverage is spotty; it's an arid area. Wild Oat Springs, on the southern slope of the peak, is the source of Wild Oat Creek, which a half-mile down its bed is blocked by Wild Oat Dam. One can only speculate how many young men thought it might be a good idea to come up here to sow their wild oats. More certain is that it's a rough twenty-mile hike to the nearest restaurant, the Apricot Tree, just of the I-5 to the northeast.
Ruined Picnics Through History
On this date in 1861, the first major battle of the Civil War was fought at Manassas Junction. It's also known as the Battle of Bull Run Creek. So certain were the Unionists that the U.S. Army would rout the Confederates that people actually dressed up and went to the battle site with picnic lunches to watch it. In fact, it was a decisive victory for the South, and gave General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson his nickname.
Edible Dictionary
salade Nicoise, French, n.–An entree-size salad composed of tuna, green beans, potatoes, green onions, lettuce, tomatoes, anchovies, and hard-boiled eggs, with a simple vinaigrette dressing. Or that's the way it's done in America. In Nice and around the Cote d'Azur–from which the salad hails–the recipe usually omits the lettuce, potatoes, and even the tuna. Where tuna is found in the salad, the traditional variety is canned tuna. It was that way even in this country until the 1980s. Then fresh tuna became widely available and popular, due to the influence of sushi. Now most restaurants sophisticated enough to serve salade Nicoise use fresh, seared, very rare tuna, served cool. Those are usually French bistros, whose menus almost always include this salad.
Food In Literature
Francis Parkinson Keyes (pronounced "kize") was born today in 1885. She wrote, among many other things, Dinner At Antoine's. As a result of that book's popularity, New York food writer Lucius Beebe suggested to the Brennans that they create Breakfast at Brennan's, which they did. Back to Keyes: the house at the corner of Chartres and Ursulines is named for her.
Ernest Hemingway, whose books always include lots of eating and drinking (because he enjoyed both himself), was born today in 1899. Indeed, in a recent re-reading of A Farewell To Arms, I was struck by the sheer quantity of booze the characters ingested. I couldn't have kept up with them.
Music To Eat At Little Tables By
One of my favorite girl singers, Kay Starr, was born today in 1922. She was a stunning woman with a powerful voice–a real belter with a jazzy, original style and a great vibrato. She had a bunch of big hits in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but didn't cross over into the rock era. She's still singing, I think. . . ¶ I wonder if she's ever confused with Kenneth Starr, who wasted a lot of time and money going after Bill Clinton in the 1990s. It's also his birthday today, in 1946. He doesn't sing nearly as well.
Food Around The World
This is the national holiday of Belgium, commemorating the 1831 crowning of that country's first king, Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. Throughout history, Belgians have joked with a sigh of resignation about their having been conquered and run over by just about every neighboring country, both before and after their independence. In 1831, they rose up against their Dutch rulers, and for a change most of its other neighbors–notably France–were on its side.
From a culinary perspective, Belgium is the most underrated country in Europe. It's restaurants are mostly French in style, although the Flemish (Dutch) influence makes it distinctive. Not only is Brussels full of great eateries, but other towns–including the smallest ones–show off marvelous dining possibilities.

The Regular Hangout.
After my holy singing gig, I go for gasoline for the lawnmower. That will prove to be a waste of time, as we get hammered by an astonishing, lightning-filled soaker of a rainstorm. Instead, I spend the afternoon cleaning bathrooms. We have been alerted to a visit to the Cool Water Ranch by a non-Fitzmorris. What we really need is for the two bathrooms on the first floor to be rebuilt thoroughly. But that won't happen until well beyond Mary Leigh's wedding. The official priority of the bathrooms seems to be "Last In Line." Which means it may never be done.
Mary Leigh and I have a late lunch at the Acme Oyster House, a regular stop for the two of us for many years. She notes that her favorite Acme dish–the iceberg wedge salad with blue cheese and tomatoes–has gone from the $4.95 price it required when we first found it on the menu, to $6.95 now. But that's not as inflationary as the fried oysters remoulade, which was also $4.95 when I first ran into it. It's now $9.95. My theory about the dish–an appetizer–is that it's an outlet for raw oysters too small to serve at the bar. The increase may prove that wrong.
There's a new menu at the Acme, ML notices. We go through it thoroughly–not only looking for price changes but anything new. We find nothing. We both believe that the place needs to make some changes. Even the specials are tiresome, mainly because they recur interminably. And now that wild-caught local catfish is easily found, there is no excuse for the Acme to serve whatever that is subbing for cat.
Before all this is a minor crisis. I can't find my wallet, not even after searching for an hour. Brainstorm: maybe it's in that spot on the bookshelves in my office where I always leave the wallet. Bing! There it is. MA has more proof that I am becoming a real nincompoop in my old age.
But during our nearly-nostalgic hour at the Acme, we have a nice daddy-daughter tete-a-tete. I can feel the love she sends across the table. I hope she receives mine.
I drop ML off at The Chimes, where she will meet up with her cousins, the only three women I know who make ML look even a little plain. This is the third time ML has been to The Chimes on this visit, and it's only been a week since she flew in from Washington, D.C. The Marys have also been to La Caretta twice, once today. They love their regular hangouts.
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
How this dish caught on to the degree that it has surpasses my understanding, but one thing's for sure: no restaurant will tell the secret of the recipe. That is, I can assure you, because there is nothing to it, and they don't want you to know that. I predict that in years to come a network of pipelines will be built to deliver spinach-artichoke dip to chain restaurants and your favorite grocery store.
Levity aside, I point out that this version of spinach-artichoke cheese dip is much loved the stylish wife Mary Ann, who just a day before I published this made an enormous vat of the stuff for our daughter Mary Leigh's bridal shower.
- 1 cup green onions, chopped finely
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/3 stick butter
- 2 10-oz. bags fresh spinach, washed and picked of big stems
- 1 can artichoke hearts packed in water
- 8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese
- 4 oz. whole-milk mozzarella, shredded
- 4 oz. sour cream
- 1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 dashes Tabasco
- 1/3 cup very finely grated Romano cheese
- 1 1/2 tsp. dill
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1. In a large saucepan over low heat, sauté the green onions and the garlic in the butter until the onions turn soft.
2. Add the spinach, still wet from washing. Cook until it wilts. Remove from the heat.
3. Drain, rinse, and break the artichoke hearts into small pieces with your fingers, and add to the pan. Add all the other ingredients except the Monterey Jack and combine well.
4. Turn the mixture into a glass baking dish. Top with the Monterey Jack. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until the cheese has melted. You can also do this step in the microwave, six to ten minutes on 70 percent power, turning the dish every two minutes. (Microwave ovens vary greatly, however, so monitor this closely.)
Serves ten to fifteen.
Bangkok Oysters @ MeMe's
One of the strongest courses at MeMe's is the array of ideas Chef Lincoln Owen has with regard to oysters. On any given night he has at least four versions baked or grilled on the half shells. Some are classics, like the very well-made Rockefellers. But the best yet is what the chef calls "Bangkok oysters." It's easy to pick out from the platter: it's the one with the brilliant red color. The first flavor that makes the jump to your palate is as sharply flavored as it looks, the sauce having been made from sriracha pepper sauce, among other things. There's a little cheese in there to balance the flavor out. If I ate here every day, I'd still include the Bangkok version in my order.

Food Calendar
Today is National Creme Brulee Day. Creme brulee is an enriched version of caramel custard, with the caramel transferred from the bottom of the baking dish to the top, in the form of a crust of lightly browned sugar. That's the brulee part; the word means "burned." Sometimes it is. The texture of the crust varies greatly. Some makers have a granular topping; in other places, the sugar melts and then re-solidified with a glassy quality. If you encounter one of those, be careful. A shard of this crust cut the inside of my mouth badly once.
The creme brulee concept goes back to at least the 1600s in France. Originally, a white-hot poker pulled from the fire was used to brulee the top. The custard is made with cream instead of the milk used for caramel custard. That keeps it from setting completely. A well-made creme brulee will flow, if very thickly and slowly. The first New Orleans restaurant to serve creme brulee in modern times was Arnaud's. Now creme brulee has supplanted caramel custard in most of its former range.

Annals Of Oenophilia
Max Zander was born today in 1920. He was the longtime head of Heritage House, New Orleans' biggest wine wholesaler. Decades before fine wine made its way onto the tables of the mainstream local populace, Max was hosting wine classes, wine dinners and tastings, inspiring people to enhance their lives with good wine. He was accessible and likable, never displaying a hint of the snobbery that scares so many people away from wine. He was as quick to recommend affordable wines as the world's best. He knew about it all, and shared his knowledge, sophistication, love of life, and friendship with anyone who wanted it. He passed away in 2009, leaving behind a legacy of wine appreciation matched by nobody else in our city.
Annals Of Cheese
On this date in 1801, a thankful Elisha Brown Jr., a farmer, made a ball of cheese weighing nearly a ton. He delivered it to Thomas Jefferson. The president found it overripe. . . More important to us today is what Jesse Williams did at his farm in Rome, New York on this date in 1851. He created the first American cheese factory. Its cheese was uniform in texture, color, and flavor, very much unlike Elisha Brown's cheeseball, which was made (as most large cheeses were) by pressing many small cheeses together.
Roots Of Our Cuisine
Yugoslavia was born today in 1917. The Pact of Corfu among the Slovenes, Croatians, and Serbs united their countries into one. It didn't work in the long term, and now each of those groups has its own country again. During much of the history of Drago's restaurant, it claimed to serve Yugoslavian food. Now it doesn't, but it does claim Croatian roots.
Edible Dictionary
speckled trout, n.–The common name used along the Gulf coast for what the fish experts call "spotted seatrout." It's not a member of the trout family (true trout are freshwater fish in the salmon family), but are related to drumfish. (They actually do make a drumming sound when they're spawning.) Most specimens are between one and three pounds, although they can grow larger. Its flesh is just off white and very flaky. It is considered a prize catch for eating by fishermen. For over a century it was the favorite fish in New Orleans white-tablecloth restaurants. Overfishing and the resulting over-zealous laws restricted the commercial catch so much that speckled trout has become a rarity in New Orleans. The greatest availability on menus is in late fall into early spring.

Hanger At Café B.
I like traveling as much as the next guy, but there are things I hate about it, mostly all the get-ready I have to do before I hit the road. Today, I was handed four radio scripts that must be done in the next couple of days. It it had been just one a week before it goes on the air, I would have read it without a hiccup, and got it done in one take. But because the deadline, I have to do the spots many times over to nail it. It doesn't help that I have to do this during a news bread, with not a minute to spare.
To those who, reading this, shake their heads at my petty complaints from a guy who really has an easy life. . . well, you're right, of course. So I will say no more about this.
The Marys have their share of assignments, what with ML's wedding less than two months away. Today, they finally line up the band for the reception after they get a good listen to the ensemble at a club on Bourbon Street. Of all places: Mary Leigh has always had an aversion to that storied part of our city. But these musicians have the sign my daughter wants to hear.
We discuss this over dinner at Café B in Old Metairie. Its chef Chef Michael Uddo is a terrific culinarian who we have known since he and his brother operated the G&E Courtyard Grill in the late 1980s. But for some reason, whenever I go to Café B, Michael has just left for the day. Oh, well.
I have no complaints about the cooking or the service, though. We begin with some fried eggplant sticks. The Marys dined at Café B long before I went there for the first time, and therefore got Café B's original, much less good menu. Their order seems to remain along those lines: a hamburger and a wedge salad.
I have something much more interesting: the hanger steak with a demi-glace and bearnaise. They conquer the big problem with hanger steaks: the toughness–by cooking it quickly with a lot of heat, and by cutting it exactly perpendicular to the grain of the meat. The waiter says that this is the longest-running entree on the menu, and a serious specialty. Makes perfect sense.
I am also impressed that whoever writes the menus at Cafe B knows that the name of the dish is spelled "hanger," not "hangar." As far as I know, none of these steaks have ever been prepared in a storage facility for aircraft.

Kenton's Is Right Where I Left It.
The Marys are busy all day buying fabrics which they will turn into bridesmaid's dresses and other matters about which I haven't the slightest understanding. I remove myself from this no-man's land and have dinner at Kenton's. The handsome new restaurant on Magazine at Nashville is quite busy–probably because the popular outdoor dining area's heavy rain, fallen already or on the way.
Tonight I enjoy the best dinner I've had at Kenton's in four visits so far. It's not just satisfaction. I now have a subject for my CityBusiness column. I suppose every other food writer in town has already reviewed Kenton's. But I can claim to have the most up-to-date review in the market. It doesn't include any of the food about which the kitchen has changed its mind since Day One. Also, I get to write about the restaurant at its peak in the near term. Finally, I give my readers a four- rather than a three-fleur-de-lis eatery to consider.
I begin with one of the first rosé wines I have ordered in a very long time. The rosés that come my way–usually in wine dinners–are more than enough to make me feel up to date on that scene.
The starter special is house-made, thin string pasta, tossed with a few slivers of vegetation and a buttery sauce with something spicy in it. This was even better than the engaging waitress led me to believe–enough so that I felt guilty about eating all this pasta. (It wasn't all that big, actually.)
The entree is assembled with the most unusual coloring I think I've ever found before me for eating purposes. The roasted drumfish has a sauce in a deep, saturated green. Never saw anything like that before. The fish, in contrast, is a brilliant white. Submerged in the green sea is an assortment of beans. And we have a magic formula:
Beans + Seafood = Deliciousness
And it does indeed work this evening.
I finish the dinner with an ice cream parfait put together in a fanciful way. When the check comes, a young woman sitting with her friends or relatives at the next table over asks me if I am who I am, which brings the evening to a nice finish.
A few hours later and a few blocks away, a less pleasant event occurs at the Noodle and Pie, a small café. The restaurant was closing when a pair of robbers forced the employees back inside to turn over the cash they had on hand.
Having been the victim of robberies in this category during my Time Saver years, I keep thinking of ways to address this. What worked for us at the Time Saver was to have almost zero cash on hand, with a safe that can't be opened except in broad daylight by armed guards. I also believe that restaurants ought to accept nothing but credit cards. Unfortunately, the law says that anyone doing business in America must accept the legal tender.
I congratulate the Noodle and Pie operators for reopening only two days later. We must act as if nothing happened, but with our shields up.

Cole Slaw
Cole slaw is an essential part of my barbecue menu. My wife, who is not given to giving unwarranted praise, and who is a cole slaw fan, says this is the ultimate. And you know she's never wrong. This makes quite a bit–enough to serve twenty or thirty portions. But if you don't need that much, scale back the ingredients or store some of the shredded vegetables without the dressing in a food storage bag, and refrigerate.
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 head red cabbage
- 2 bunches green onions
- 1 lb. carrots
- Dressing:
- 1 quart mayonnaise
- 1 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 2 Tbs. yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tbs. celery seed
- 1 1/2 tsp. dill weed
- 1/4 tsp. tarragon
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. jalapeno Tabasco
- 1 cup buttermilk
1. Shred the cabbage to get shreds as thin and as long as possible. You could also chop it if you prefer it that way. Peel and shred the carrots. Chop the green onions as fine as possibly, by hand. Toss all the vegetables together in a big bowl.
2. Mix all the dressing ingredients together, whisking to blend as each is added. Pour about half the dressing over the vegetables, and add enough more to coat but not to make a puddle of dressing in the bottom of the bowl.
Serves twenty to thirty.
Three Appetizers @ Cafe Minh
The essence of Minh Bui's restaurant is that the Vietnamese native spent many years working in some of the best restaurants in New Orleans before he opened his own place. (Commander's Palace, to name one.) Out of this comes a blend of Vietnamese and Creole tastes throughout the menu. A fine meal can be made by having three of the most popular Cafe Minh appetizers instead of an entree, for example:
Coconut shrimp
Crab cake, wasabi rémoulade
Diver scallops, Japanese eggplant, sweet chili soy sauce
All three dishes (and many others on the menu) are as eminently edible as they are unique blends of textures and tastes.

Food On The Road
Today in 1936, the first Oscar Meyer Wienermobile was built in Chicago. It was a tremendous hit, especially with kids, and the hot dog-shaped cars (now more like RV's) have been on the road ever since. They appear in parades and at festivals, driven by young people just out of college. Crews of three or four of them drive one of the six Wienermobiles around the country. I'll bet that's a great experience. We've had the Wienermobile crews on my radio show many times in the past, and they're well-spoken representatives with a unifying talent for making awful puns about hot dogs. They come here to participate in Mardi Gras parades. In the New Orleans parades, they're required by the law against commercial displays in parades to cover up the company logo. But you'd have to be really out of it not to recognize the Wienermobile for what it is.
Food Calendar
It is National Caviar Day. The word "caviar" connotes luxury and gourmandise. The best caviar is among the most expensive and rarest foods in the world. Indeed, the king of caviars–from the endangered beluga sturgeon in the Caspian Sea–has become so rare that it lately has been banned from import into the United States. But not all caviar is expensive; not all of it is good.
You know that caviar is fish eggs, but there's more to it than that. Eggs in fish are enclosed by a pouch, and held together by a membrane. Like every other part of a fish, roe is highly perishable. The challenge and expense in making caviar is to separate the eggs and to somehow keep them from spoiling. The latter job is usually accomplished through the addition of barely enough salt to do the job.
You probably eat more caviar than you think you do. Tobiko, for example, is the tiny caviar you get on sushi rolls. (It's from flying fish.) Around New Orleans, we eat a great deal caviar from bowfin (choupique, as we call the fish). If you dine in Greek restaurants you may enjoy a great appetizer spread called taramasalata, made with carp caviar.
I do hope it's possible to enjoy beluga caviar again someday. It's best all by itself–no onions, sour cream, capers, or anything. Maybe some little bread underneath. (I use small, non-sweet waffles for that.) But if the beluga sturgeon must be left alone to preserve the species, then we must not eat any more beluga caviar, no matter how delicious it is.
Deft Dining Rule #715
Eating a great deal of caviar can give you a buzz. It is not all coming from the Champagne that you're drinking with it.

Edible Dictionary
beluga caviar, n.–The most prized and expensive of all caviars, it is no longer legally available in the United States. It's the roe of the beluga sturgeon, which lives in the Caspian Sea and (in much smaller numbers) in the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea. It is considered an endangered species, hence the American import ban. The Caspian Sea is the world's biggest lake, and straddles the border between Russia and Iran–both of which continue to harvest the 2000-pound fish for caviar. The eggs are the largest of all the sturgeon roes, with a metallic gray color and a magnificent flavor that is best appreciated with no garnishes of any kind. Maybe conservation efforts will make it possible to taste it again.
Food On The Air
At five minutes after ten in the morning on this date in 1988, I threw a microphone switch and began a new daily radio talk program called The Food Show. It broadcast from the original 1925-vintage studios of WSMB, on the roof of the Maison Blanche Building. It's now the longest-running New Orleans radio show of any kind in history: same station, same host, same concept. I'd been on the radio since 1974 with a variety of shows on several stations, but this gig took on a life of its own. The Food Show has survived nine format changes for 1350 AM, four sets of owners, and a close brush with extinction of the station. The show is an anomaly in radio programming; not many reach their twentieth anniversary. I know of nothing comparable in any other city. And what other radio show shares a birthday with the Wienermobile?

Trade estimates for tomorrow's weekly export sales report for beans go for sales of 800,000 MT to 1.2 MMT. Aug 16 Soybeans settled at $10.10 1/2, up 17 cents; Nov 16 Soybeans settled at $9.86, up 12 1/4 cents; Aug 16 Soybean Meal settled at $344.80, up $3.40; Aug 16 Soybean Oil settled at 29.53, down 3 points.
Corn: The market closed around 3 cents higher, with the switch to hotter and drier adding support. US weekly ethanol production of 998,000 barrels per day was down 31,000 bod from last week's record. The USDA's FAS in Europe put corn production there at 62 MMT (USDA: 63.83 MMT). The USDA said that 247,912 MT of US corn was sold to unknown destinations under the daily reporting system. Trade estimates for tomorrow's weekly export sales for corn are 750 TMT to 1.0 MMT. Sep 16 Corn settled at $3.35 3/4, up 3 1/4 cents; Dec 16 Corn settled at $3.43, up 3 1/2 cents.
Wheat: The wheat market ended little changed across the three exchanges. France remains a big talking point with one firm cutting their 2016 average wheat yield estimate for Europe's largest producing and exporting nation to 5.5 MT/ha. That implies production of 28.7 MMT using the official Ag Min area estimate. Output in 2015 was 40.9 MMT. South Korea were said to have rejected an Argentine cargo of wheat on GMO grounds. Ukraine said that they'd harvested 68% of this year's wheat crop producing 16.61 MMT to date. Trade estimates for tomorrow's weekly export sales are 400-600 TMT. Sep 16 CBOT Wheat settled at $4.14 3/4, down 1/4 cent; Sep 16 KCBT Wheat settled at $4.12 1/2, up 1/2 cent; Dec 16 MGEX Wheat settled at $5.03 3/4, up 1 1/4 cents.
EU Grains Consolidate Despite More Negative Estimates On France
27/07/16 -- EU grains finished mostly a touch lower, with wheat in particular consolidating from recent gains.
The day ended with Nov 16 London down GBP0.55/tonne at GBP123.75/tonne, Sep 16 Paris wheat was EUR2.50/tonne lower at EUR163.75/tonne, Aug corn was down EUR0.25/tonne at EUR169.75/tonne and Aug 16 rapeseed was up EUR1.50/tonne to EUR358.00/tonne.
The jury is still out as to exactly how bad the French wheat crop is. CRM AgriCommodities today released an average yield estimate for France of only 5.5 MT/ha, a 30-year low. Using the Ag Ministry's own area estimate of 5.22 million ha, that would give us a final production figure of only 28.71 MMT - and that is assuming that everything gets cut and doesn't go for whole crop silage or similar.
The yield figure of 5.5 MT/ha is well below the 7.23 MT/ha served up to us by MARS earlier in the week. ODA suggested production "below 30 MMT this week and Agritel say 30-32 MMT.
The official French Ministry estimate of 37 MMT was only released as recently as Jul 12. Production last year was officially 40.7 MMT, so these private numbers are suggesting a drop of 8.7-12 MMT this year, or 21-29%.
Either way, large carryover stocks from 2015/16 suddenly don't seem so important, they are in fact necessary. The uncertainty will no doubt have been a factor in the lack of French offers at the two recent Egyptian tenders.
If we switch our attention to the UK now, MARS came up with an average wheat yield of 8.09 MT/ha for us this year in this week's report. Multiplying that out by 1.794 for the GB wheat area from the HGCA gives a 2016 wheat crop of 14.5 MMT against 16.44 MMT last year - down 11.8%.
For OSR, the HGCA have a England & Scotland OSR area of 591k ha, add on another 5k ha for Wales (the area planted in 2014 and 2015) and multiply up by a MARS average yield of 3.17 MT/ha this year and we get a 2016 UK OSR crop of 1.89 MMT.
Note that early yields OSR and barley in the UK are so far said to be pretty disappointing and it looks like the MARS yield figures could be a bit overstated. MARS said themselves that there is "a high margin of uncertainty in our yield forecasts" for the UK this year.
So the French wheat crop could be 12 MMT down on a year ago, and the UK may have lost another 2.0-2.5 MMT, with Germany expected down a similar amount. Interesting, especially come the second half of the season once cheap FSU offers start drying up.
UKraine said that their early grain harvest was 69% complete on 3.69 million ha for a crop of 24.79 MMT to date. That includes 16.61 MMT of wheat off 68% of plan. They've also harvested 7.39 MMT of barley off 78% of plan and 81% of their OSR for a crop of 962 TMT so far.
Chicago Grains Mixed, Beans Consolidate
26/07/16 -- Soycomplex: Soybeans closed higher, consolidating recent losses in modest "Turnaround Tuesday" style. Fresh news was scarce. US soybean export demand remains robust, with record July exports on the cards. US crop conditions lean bearish however. More than one analyst has demand from "insatiable" China dropping in 2016/17. South American growers might plant fewer beans in favour of corn for next season it is being mooted. Aug 16 Soybeans settled at $9.93 1/2, up 9 3/4 cents; Nov 16 Soybeans settled at $9.73 3/4, up 7 1/2 cents; Aug 16 Soybean Meal settled at $341.40, up $2.50; Aug 16 Soybean Oil settled at 29.56, up 10 points.
Corn: The corn market closed around 1-2 cents lower. Media reports say that China sold only 4,019 MT of the 1.942 MMT of corn put up on offer at state auctions this week. US corn crop conditions held steady overnight where a 1 point reduction in good to excellent had been expected. MARS raised EU-28 corn yields from the 7.35 MT/ha predicted a month ago to 7.42 MT/ha, a 1% rise on the 6.93 MT/ha averaged last year. India are tendering to buy 200,000 MT of optional origin, non-GMO corn. Sep 16 Corn settled at $3.32 1/2, down 2 1/4 cents; Dec 16 Corn settled at $3.39 1/2, down 1 3/4 cents.
Wheat: The wheat market closed with double digit losses. The EU's MARS raised soft wheat yields for 2016 from 6.07 MT/ha to 6.10 MT/ha, a 4.6% rise compared to a year ago. French wheat yields were lowered, but not by as much as might have been expected given some recent reports. Russia meanwhile could bring in a 113 MMT harvest this year, say Rusagrotrans. They forecast exports in August rising to 3.8-3.8 MMT, and 4.2-4.4 MMT in September. Russian 12.5% milling wheat prices for Aug delivery are $164-165/tonne, they said. Sep 16 CBOT Wheat settled at $4.15, down 14 cents; Sep 16 KCBT Wheat settled at $4.12, down 11 1/4 cents; Dec 16 MGEX Wheat settled at $5.02 1/2, down 10 1/2 cents.
EU Grains Lower On Better Than Feared Yield Estimates
26/07/16 -- EU grains closed mostly lower as the EU Commission's MARS unit moved to allay fears of wholesale crop downgrades across the continent.
The day ended with benchmark Nov 16 GBP1.35/tonne lower at GBP124.30/tonne. Sep 16 Paris wheat traded down EUR4.25/tonne at EUR166.25/tonne, Aug corn was EUR0.75/tonne lower at EUR170.00/tonne and Aug 16 Paris rapeseed was down EUR1.50/tonne at EUR356.50/tonne.
MARS raised their overall EU-28 soft wheat yield estimate from 6.07 MT/ha last month to 6.10 MT/ha, and a 4.6% rise on last year.
They were also up slightly on corn, from 7.35 MT/ha to 7.42 MT/ha, a 1% increase versus 6.93 MT/ha a year ago.
Barley yields were lowered slightly, from 5.01 MT/ha to 4.99 MT/ha (2015: 4.72 MT/ha), along with those for OSR - down from 3.24 MT/ha to 3.22 MT/ha (2015: 3.20 MT/ha).
They downgraded expectations for French wheat yields, but not by that much - lowered 0.9 MT/ha to 7.23 MT/ha.
"The poor conditions observed in late May continued in June with substantial rainfall, exceptionally low global radiation and near-average temperatures. Overly wet conditions led to saturated soils. Consequently, yield forecasts are revised downwards to average levels," they said.
UK wheat yields were seen unchanged from a month ago at 8.09 MT/ha.
"Crop development and biomass accumulation (in the UK) are mainly above average, but pest and disease pressure remain high. The yield forecasts remain close to or slightly above the five-year average," they noted.
OSR yields in France were pegged 8.6% lower than a year ago at 3.26 MT/ha, and those in the UK 2.5% lower at 3.17 MT/ha.
Elsewhere, big crops keep getting bigger. Rusagrotrans said that this year's Russian grain crop could reach 113 MMT - the highest they say since 1990.
Wheat could account for 68.4 MMT of that total (record) and barley 17.8 MMT. Corn production still depends on August weather, but could exceed last year's record 13.2 MMT, they noted.
Chicago Soybeans Set New Lows For The Recent Move
25/07/16 -- Soycomplex: Soybeans closed lower and back below $10/bu setting new lows for the recent move on Midwest rains. "Heavy rainfall doused the Midwest last week, at least one inch of rainfall but 3-4 inches in parts of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. At least 85% of corn and soybean farms received a drenching rain, Nebraska the notable exception," said Martell Crop Projections. Weekly export inspections came in at 700,715 MT. Weekly crop conditions were unchanged at 71% good to excellent (62% a year ago). The USDA said that 76% of the crop is blooming (10 points ahead of average) and that 35% is setting pods (up 9 points on avg). Aug 16 Soybeans settled at $9.83 3/4, down 22 3/4 cents; Nov 16 Soybeans settled at $9.66 1/4, down 22 cents; Aug 16 Soybean Meal settled at $338.90, down $7.80; Aug 16 Soybean Oil settled at 29.46, down 75 points.
Corn: The corn market closed slightly lower. Weekly export inspections of 1.307 MMT continue to hold up at decent levels. The USDA had corn crop conditions unchanged after the close whereas the trade was expecting a 1 point drop to 75% good/excellent (70% a year ago). "The time worn adage is that 'rain makes grain', especially in July. This is the period when the critical pollination process occurs in corn. Tassels shedding pollen are captured by silks, each silk fertilizing individual kernels on the ear. Drought interferes with the fertilization process, leaving blank spots on the corn ear. Poor pollination in corn is not a worry this summer, however, because rainfall has been ample if not abundant," noted Martell Crop Projections. The USDA had 79% of the crop "silking" compered to 70% on average, and 13% of the crop at the "dough" stage (in line with the recent average). The Brazilian safrinha harvest is said to be 50% complete and the crop is in trouble. Sep 16 Corn settled at $3.34 3/4, down 1/4 cent; Dec 16 Corn settled at $3.41 1/4, down 1/2 cent.
Wheat: The wheat market closed higher across the 3 exchanges. Support came for another crop downgrade for France, this time to 30 MMT or less from almost 41 MMT a year ago. Weekly export inspections of 549,894 MT were fairly good. The USDA said that 83% of the US winter wheat harvest is now complete versus 79% on average. Spring wheat is 68% good to excellent, down 1 point from a week ago. The USDA's FAS in Argentina estimated winter wheat plantings there at 4.6 million ha (up from 3.765 million ha a year ago). They see production in 2016/17 at 13.7 MMT (2015: 11.3 MMT), with exports at 7.5 MMT of which 4-5 MMT will go to Brazil. Morocco tendered for 133,000 MT of soft wheat. Iran were said to have bought 350,000 MT of EU/Baltic hard wheat for Oct/Nov shipment. Syria are tendering for 150,000 of soft wheat. I'd expect Egypt to be back in the market soon also. The Tunisian grain harvest is said to be 90% complete. Dec 16 CBOT Wheat settled at $4.56 1/4, up 6 cents; Dec 16 KCBT Wheat settled at $4.49 1/2, up 4 1/2 cents; Dec 16 MGEX Wheat settled at $5.13, up 2 cents.
EU Grains Off Highs
25/07/16 -- EU wheat closed mixed - and well off session highs - which were set early in the day following more bad news for the French wheat crop.
At the close Nov 16 London wheat was down GBP0.40/tonne at GBP125.675/tonne, Sep 16 Paris wheat fell EUR3.50/tonne to EUR170.50/tonne, Aug Paris corn was down EUR0.75/tonne at EUR170.75/tonne and Aug 16 Paris rapeseed was EUR0.25/tonne higher at EUR358.00/tonne.
Nov 16 London wheat had earlier touched GBP128.50 - it's best level since early November. Sep 16 Paris wheat meanwhile hit EUR177.25/tonne - a level not seen since January.
Having downgraded the French wheat crop to 32 MMT from 35 MMT just last week, ODA went one further today calling the crop at 30 MMT or less - a 40-year low.
They are now the most bearish of the private estimates (Agritel go 32 MMT) but not by an outrageous amount. Production last year was almost 41 MMT, so despite a larger than normal carryover into 2016/17 French exports are clearly going to be hit quite hard, especially in the second half of the season one would imagine.
Production in Germany is forecast 19% lower by Agritel at 26 MMT, and in Poland it is seen 10% down at 10.7 MMT. The UK jury is still out, although output is definitely expected to drop here too.
Russia's wheat harvest has no such troubles foreseen, and is complete on 7.2 million ha for a crop of 29.8 MMT so far. The barley harvest is complete on 1.1 millin ha for a crop of 3.8 MMT to date.
Their grain exports via seaports picked up last week to 308,100 MT from 204,400 MT the previous week. Wheat accounted for 227,100 MT of that total.
By contrast Ukraine's seaport exports fell to 149,500 MT from 423,500 MT), including 18,900 MT of wheat, 12,300 MT of corn and 115,200 MT of barley.
Kazakhstan will produce 13 MMT of wheat this year, down from 13.75 MMT a year ago as producers there diversify into other crops, say the Ag Min there.
Morocco tendered for 133,000 MT of soft wheat. Iran were said to have bought 350,000 MT of EU/Baltic origin wheat for Oct/Nov shipment.
Chicago Beans Post Large Daily And Weekly Losses
22/07/16 -- Soycomplex: Beans closed sharply lower on the day and for the week. News that the Argentine truckers strike was over brought a bearish end to the week. The Argentine government were said to have increased their 2015/16 soybean production estimate from 58 MMT to 58.8 MMT as well (USDA: 56.5 MMT). Latest weather forecasts look a bit wetter. "The morning satellite image shows how very humid, unstable air ultimately reaches the Midwest, promoting instability and strong showers. The Southwest monsoon played a major role in fueling Midwest showers. Moist air from the Gulf of Mexico streams into the Southwest desert, then bends north into the Great Plains. The moist air air stream then turns east across the Midwest farm belt,W said Martell Crop Projections. Aug 16 Soybeans settled at $10.06 1/2, down 26 cents; Nov 16 Soybeans settled at $9.88 1/4, down 24 1/4 cents; Aug 16 Soybean Meal settled at $346.70, down $5.80; Aug 16 Soybean Oil settled at 30.21, down 85 points. For the week Aug 16 were beans were down 66 cents, with Aug 16 meal a $22.70 loser and Aug 16 oil dropping 68 points.
Corn: The market closed with small gains on the day but fair losses for the week. China was said to have sold the 453,203 MT of corn stocks they put up for auction. The Argentine Ag Ministry raised their estimate for 2015/16 corn production there from 37.9 MMT to 39.8 MMT (USDA: 28.0 MMT). They said that harvesting of that crop is 53% complete. FrancAgriMer pegged French corn crop conditions at 69% good to very good, unchanged on a week ago and 7 points better than this time last year. Rain makes grain! Or at least is makes corn in the case of France if not wheat. A wetter US weather outlook seems bearish. "More heavy rainfall is expected in the Midwest. Periods of strong showers would be fueled by the monsoon circulation. Moreover a storm track is expected to develop from west-to-east across the northern tier of the United States, carrying waves of showers into the northern Plains and Upper Midwest," said Martell Crop Projections. News of the Argentine truckers strike being over is also a bearish influence. Sep 16 Corn settled at $3.35, up 3/4 cent; Dec 16 Corn settled at $3.41 3/4, up 1 cent. Sep 16 fell 17 1/4 cents compared with last Friday.
Wheat: The wheat market followed French markets higher. FranceAgriMer cut another 7 points off French wheat good to very good today, making for a 37 point decline in the last 3 weeks alone. The French crop was rated 76% G/VG this time a year ago. Paris wheat futures put in their highest close of 2016 tonight. French analysts ODA cut 3 MMT off their previous production estimate, pegging the crop at a 9-year low of 32 MMT. Harvesting of French wheat is only 17% done compared to 53% a year ago and there are fears than things could get worse yet as the harvest progresses. Jordan are in for 100,000 MT of optional origin hard wheat. The Argentine Ag Ministry cut their forecast for 2016/17 wheat plantings there from 5.34 million ha to 5.25 million. Russian wheat production could reach 68 MMT this year say IKAR (USDA: 65 MMT). They've harvested 28.1 MMT so far, say the Ag Ministry. RusAgroTrans said that grain exports in July might be lower than expected due to reduced Turkish interest and as traders sit on their hands awaiting the anticipated removal of the export tax on wheat. Sep 16 CBOT Wheat settled at $4.25 1/4, up 7 1/2 cents; Sep 16 KCBT Wheat settled at $4.19, up 11 1/2 cents; Dec 16 MGEX Wheat settled at $5.11, up 8 3/4 cents. Chicago wheat was up 1/2 cents on the week, with Kansas wheat up 5 1/4 cents and Minneapolis falling 1 cent.

andrew_ace_1, I'll take that as a 'yes'. Using multiple aliases to deceive people on an investment board, while not unique to you, is a highly unethical thing to do. On a completely unrelated topic: Do you ever read the news stories in which some kid gets arrested by the feds for stock fraud after posting on the net? I find those stories fascinating ... do you feel the same way?

Regression testing is an expensive testing process used to validate modified software and detect whether new faults have been introduced into previously tested code. To reduce the cost of regression testing, software testers may prioritize their test cases so that those which are more important, by some measure, are run earlier in the regression testing process. One goal of prioritization is to increase a test suite's rate of fault detection. Previous empirical studies have shown that several prioritization techniques can significantly improve rate of fault detection, but these studies have also shown that the effectiveness of these techniques varies considerably across various attributes of the program, test suites, and modifications being considered. This variation makes it difficult for a practitioner to choose an appropriate prioritization technique for a given testing scenario. To address this problem, we analyze the fault detection rates that result from applying several different prioritization techniques to several programs and modified versions. The results of our analyses provide insights into which types of prioritization techniques are and are not appropriate under specific testing scenarios, and the conditions under which they are or are not appropriate. Our analysis approach can also be used by other researchers or practitioners to determine the prioritization techniques appropriate to other workloads.

Linda & Richard Eyre: A Christ-centered Christmas and New Year
We are going to have most of our children home for Christmas this year, and are hoping, as so many other Christian parents around the world do, to make our holidays center on Christ rather than on commercialism.
Actually, we have been worrying about this conflict for a long time — so much so that, years ago, we tried to write a book that focused on one aspect of Jesus and his teachings and character for each week of the year. By focusing on a new facet of the Lord each Sunday in church, we reasoned we could progressively draw our family closer to him throughout the year.
At Christmastime each year, we remind ourselves again of this priority and re-commit ourselves to make the season, as well as the year ahead, more oriented to knowing and following the Savior and trying to emulate his example.
These weekly concentrations or contemplations can be found at www.valuesparenting.com, and we wanted to share one of them in today's column as a harbinger to what we hope will be a Christ-centered Christmas season.
Week 6: Happiness
Storm Jameson, the poet-philosopher, wrote perceptively of happiness:
"It is an illusion to think that more comfort brings more happiness. True happiness comes of the capacity to think freely, to feel deeply, to enjoy simple, to risk life, to be needed."
Think for a moment, in this framework, of Jesus Christ:
• Whose thought still frees men's minds.
• Who felt (in both directions) more deeply than any other ever has.
• Who relished and loved all that was simple and pure.
• Who actually gave his life.
• Who is needed by every member of the human race.
Joy, in the gospel sense, is more than happiness or pleasure, but it is certainly inclusive of both. The Gospels present a Savior who responded to people, who appreciated men's good humor, who found simple pleasure in everyday life. The scriptures do not tell us of the expression on his face or describe the tone in his voice, but when we consider Christ's supreme inner peace we begin to imagine the happy characteristics he must have exemplified.
The Lord's life often seems to suggest a beautiful and light touch — a good-humored approach to being — like a fresh breeze on the sparkling surface of a deep and mighty sea. Do we detect any humor as such? Certainly, there would not be humor in the sarcastic, cynical sense — and never out of derision, where one man's laughter is another man's misfortune or ridicule — but perhaps humor in the lighter, truer sense: the sense of seeing life's little ironies, of appreciating amusing things and of smiling at surprises.
The sparkle of the Savior's outlook comes through in his dramatized object lessons: a mote in one man's eye, a beam in that of his critic (Matthew 7:3); a man who was forgiven a huge debt but who would not himself forgive a small one (Matthew 18:23-25). His understanding of human nature shows as he tells of the man in bed late at night who is too sleepy to answer his neighbor's knock (Luke 11:5-8), or of one blind man leading another into the ditch (Luke 6:39).
Much of Jesus' life was sociable and people-oriented. To him it was appropriate and natural to be at a wedding (John 2:1-10); dining out by invitation (Luke 7:36); or simply relaxing in the house of friends (John 12:1). And how right it is that life's perfect example should exemplify joy — and should take joy in the very things he had created in order that man "might have joy."
The Lord taught that the sacrifices required by the gospel are a joy to make, likening them in parables to the man who in his joy sold all that he had to buy a precious pearl (Matthew 13:45-46). All of the rewards the Lord promised those who followed his gospel were related to this principle. He promised:
• Happiness (John 13:17)
• Joy (John 16:22; Luke 24:52)
• Peace (John 16:33)
• More abundant life (John 10:10)
• Freedom (John 8:31-32)
The Savior followed his gospel as perfectly as he taught it — and thus each of these rewards was his to receive as well as to give.
