Hi everyone,
I just found this site a few days ago while researching for matcha sets and I think this site is wonderful for tea info! Lots of knowledgeable people here hehe
So I just bought this set :
and I tried the matcha you see in the picture. I don't really like it, It says to add two scoops per 4 oz (which I did) and the matcha didn't really froth up and tasted very mild with a very watered down flavor.
I also tried a "unknown" brand I bought from a Japanese supermarket. I bought it with the sole intent of using if for baking since it cost me $3.99 lol
Here's a pic of the bag :
This matcha is a bit better than the itoen matcha (not as mild, i like bold full bodied teas... for example, my fav. green tea is genmaicha) but still did not froth and it's still not what I'm looking for. I know not to expect much from this tea since I know "real" matcha is alot more $ than this one.
So In conclusion, I'm on the fence about these and still searching for the perfect matcha. I had had two cups of matcha in Japan two years ago and I still remember the taste. ( It was dark in color, bold in flavor and had a lot of froth) I had them both in Kyoto so not sure if that might affect the type of taste I'm looking for.
I was also thinking of making a purchase from "yuuki-cha", since they seem to have cheaper matcha... I dont have too much money to spend on matcha but I want to actually buy something that I will enjoy. If anyone can recommend something, even from a different vendor I'd appreciate it!! Thanks alot!!
ps- I love the taste of matcha in most Japanese made products, green tea cake, mochi, ice cream etc... (not sure if this will help with figuring out my taste hehe)

This cigar's name fits. Black Beauty is a beautiful cigar with a smooth and beautiful taste. It's lovely in presentation and elegant in taste. I haven't been disappointed with the Gurkha line of cigars. I am a big fan of Gurkha cigars. This one ranks high on my list.
Hold on to your seat with this maduro. Full body torpedo that will rock your world with flavor and draw. I left these in my humidor for two months and they only get better with age. I recommend this smoke for the holiday after dinner smoke

Vivus, Arena Drugs Fail to Burn Americans' Prodigious Fat
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. ( TheStreet) -- Vivus (VVUS) can't convince enough fat Americans to try its weight-loss pill Qsymia despite spending a ton of cash on marketing and free drug giveaways. At its current burn rate, Vivus will need to raise more money no later than the second half of the year.
Shares of Vivus were down 12% to $10.96 in Tuesday trading.
The dismal $2 million in Qsymia sales reported by Vivus in the fourth quarter is a harbinger of doom for Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) , which along with partner Eisai is expected to launch its weight-loss pill Belviq next month. Belviq barely manages to help patients lose any meaningful weight, but will cost significantly more than Qsymia.
Let's first tackle Vivus because the company turned in an ugly quarter Monday night. The $2 million in Qsymia sales was $1 million short of downgraded analyst consensus for the fourth quarter. How downgraded? Last fall, analysts on average were looking for more than $24 million in Qsymia sales during the December quarter.
Vivus spent more than $50 million in SG&A to generate those $2 million in Qsymia sales in the fourth quarter. Add in R&D costs and Vivus' total operating expenses topped $58 million. Cash and marketable securities fell by $61 million sequentially. Vivus ended last year with $213 million in the piggy bank and refused to offer any spending guidance for 2013 except to acknowledge that marketing expenses for Qsymia will remain high.
Even if Qsymia sales pick up, Vivus' current and expected rate of spending means there's less than a year's cash remaining.
For the four-week period ending on Feb. 15, Vivus shipped 17,383 Qsymia prescriptions, a 34% increase over the previous four-week period ended on Jan. 18. That sounds like encouraging script growth, except it's down from 68% growth in the four-week period between November and December last year. Vivus deserves a pass for the December holiday month -- no one wants to lose weight during Christmas -- and sure enough, the number of Qsymia scripts shipped was flat.
Bottom line: The rate of Qsymia script growth is falling despite the company offering freebies and other marketing inducements. Vivus continues to blame Qsymia's poor performance on the hassle of mail-order pharmacy requirements and believes sales will take off once patients can buy the drug at their neighborhood pharmacy.
One more metric from Monday night's conference call I found interesting and disappointing simultaneously: Vivus said 27,000 unique patients have been prescribed Qsymia since the drug launched five months ago. A Qsymia script costs approximately $135 per month for the recommended middle dose, so under the most optimal circumstances (all 27,000 patients taking five months of Qsymia), best-case sales to date would have been roughly $18 million.

Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Karen Hughes Blogging From UNGA
As is the case at a lot of world events these days, it seems there are more journalists here at the United Nations than there are dignitaries -- and the halls and hotels are crowded with Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, Prime Ministers and Presidents. A lot of them were in one room at the same time when President Bush hosted a reception last night. I had the rare opportunity to talk with people from Jamaica to Afghanistan to Africa to Panama all in one evening. When I travel or speak in America these days, people often tell me they don't see me on television much anymore -- that's because a big part of my job now is traveling abroad and communicating with international audiences through foreign media.
This morning I spoke live with hundreds of thousands of people in the Arab world by appearing on Al Arabiya, one of the leading television networks in the Middle East. Whenever I visit a country, and I've been to about 40 during the last two years, I usually do television and radio interviews (I've even appeared on what was described as the Indonesian version of "Oprah"). And whenever I do international interviews, the questions are quite literally a tour of the world. Today I was asked by BBC about the situation in Burma and how Americans view the UN general assembly (I explained that New Yorkers probably hate the traffic, but most of us recognize it's good for world leaders to come together to talk about common problems). Al Arabiya asked about America's reaction to Iranian President Ahmadinejad. I pointed out the hypocrisy of his using our free speech and free media to criticize our country, yet if someone spoke out against his government in a similar way in Iran they would be arrested. I also explained that America wants to engage with the Iranian people, who are enormously talented and creative -- the concern of the international community is with Iran's government and its policies, not with its people.
Tomorrow, I will meet with journalists from a number of different countries in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. With the explosion of media in the world, we're trying to do a better job of getting American voices into that media. We have only one Secretary of State, but we have more than two hundred Ambassadors and Chiefs of Mission who represent us in countries around the world. Part of my job is to get them out there speaking up on behalf of our country.

Great to have keen insights from an authority such as Hughes (and I appreciate the parenthetical about our hometown gridlock, too). Keep up the good work.
Vic in Texas writes:
Thank you for articulating the U.S. governement policy and your service to our nation!
Niles in Colorado writes:
I like your comment about Ahmadinejad. He can dish it out, but he sure can't take it.
Ron in North Carolina writes:
Karen: It is great to see someone of your influence blogging.
It must be incredibly enlightening to speak with so many people from such diverse nationalities. It would be nice to hear how they influence your opinions rather than just how we get our message out.
Really looking forward to more from you.

End-users who purchased the recently launched Apple MacBook Pro in unibody cases are reportedly having issues with Nvidia GeForce 9-series graphics processor. According to a media story, customers complain about freezes as well as "wave-like video distortions" while scrolling in Web browsers.
AppleInsider reports that numerous end-users have run into "the black screen of death" issues while playing certain video-games. Apparently, screens of Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT-powered Mac Book Pros' screens go black after just a few minutes of gaming, while the system locks up and the audio enters into an infinite loop. There is no way to quit the game and a hardware reset is required.
Some end-users claim that special software that can set the fans to spin at higher speed help them to avoid freezes because of overheating of the graphics processing units. Others claim that the hardware-related issues may be corrected with the mainboard replacement.
"Apple are aware of the issue and are investigating," a customer quotes Apple Support as saying.
There are also reports about "wave-like video distortions" while scrolling in web browsers of viewing HD content. The issues are reportedly present in all MacBook Pro notebooks, which, it is believed, makes them likely to be corrected via software updates. Some customers note that the problem also exists on Nvidia-based iMacs, but does not show up on the MacBook Air with integrated Intel graphics or iMacs with ATI graphics cards. There is a theory that Nvidia graphics card drivers and Apple's Webkit rendering engine is to blame, which would explain why the distortions do not appear under Windows or Mac browsers that do not rely on WebKit, such as Opera.
Earlier this year Nvidia admitted that its GeForce graphics processing units (GPUs) and nForce chipsets (which the company calls MCPs, media and communication processors) designed for mobile computers could fail due to issues with high-lead packaging. The company took $196 million charge to help its partners to tackle the problem, however, it said that the issue only affected certain notebook configurations. Apple, Dell and HP acknowledged issues with their mobile systems and GeForce M-series chips.

Iceland scores late to tie Denmark in handball
BEIJING (AP) Snorri Steinn Gudjonsson scored on a penalty shot late in the second half Saturday to give Iceland a 32-32 tie with Denmark and a spot in the Olympic handball quarterfinals.
The top four teams in each group advance. Denmark (1-1-2) is a point ahead of fifth-place Russia (1-2-1) in Group B. Iceland (2-1-1) is a point behind first-place South Korea (3-1).
Konstantin Igropulo scored with 26 seconds remaining to lift Russia to a 24-24 tie with Germany. Florian Kehrmann got one last shot in the closing seconds for Germany (2-1-1) but it was kicked away.
South Korea beat Egypt, 24-22. Egypt (0-3-1) has lost its three matches by a combined five goals and is out of medal contention.
Helio Justino, Felipe Ribeiro and Silvio Laureano scored five goals each, and Brazil kept its hope of reaching the quarterfinals alive with a 29-22 win over China. China (0-4) is eliminated from medal contention. Brazil (1-3) will face Spain (2-2) on Monday for the fourth and final quarterfinal spot out of Group A.
Spain fell 28-21 to France on Saturday. France (4-0) is the tournament's only remaining unbeaten team.
Poland beat Croatia 27-24. Both those teams have qualified for the quarterfinals. Croatia (2-2) led 7-3 in the first half before allowing six straight goals.

Authors at Stage with M.J. Rose and Randy Susan Meyers
Category: Authors
Location: Adrian Lamb Room
May 2013 – Meet M.J. Rose and Randy Susan Meyers, best-selling authors in their own right and co-authors of the recently published guide, What to Do Before Your Book Launch, on May 22 at 12 noon in the Lamb Room. Noontime author appearances are sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
International best-selling novelist M.J. Rose is a master of storytelling. She will speak about her latest release, Seduction which tells the story of a grieving woman and mythologist, Jac L'Etoile, who flees to the Isle of Jersey in the wake of personal losses. There she discovers more than the Druid ruins that lured her there – she discovers the lost letters of writer Victor Hugo detailing his séances and conversations with souls, including the likes of Galileo, Shakespeare and the Devil.
Critically acclaimed for her 2010 debut novel The Murderer's Daughter, Randy Susan Meyers will introduce her latest novel, The Comfort of Lies. The richly layered story examines the complications of love, the fallout from infidelity, and the universal themes of motherhood, identity, trust, and forgiveness.
Both veterans of the publishing world, Meyers and Rose teamed up to produce their no-nonsense guide for writers, What to Do Before Your Book Launch. In it, the authors offer invaluable information on dealing with editors, agents, publishers and readers, and how to avoid some of the major pitfalls they have themselves encountered.
M.J. Rose is the international best-selling author of twelve novels and three non-fiction books on marketing. Her most recent novel The Book of Lost Fragrances was chosen as one of the 10 best in several categories including mystery and fantasy by Publishers' Weekly and amazon.com. She is a founding member and board member of International Thriller Writers and founder of the first marketing company for authors - Authorbuzz.com.
Rose's fiction and non-fiction has appeared in many magazines and reviews and she has been featured in The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, USA Today and on the Today Show and NPR radio. The television series PAST LIFE was based on Rose's novels in the Reincarnationist series. Rose lives in Connecticut with her husband the musician and composer, Doug Scofield.
Randy Susan Meyers was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where she, in her own words, "quickly moved from playing with dolls to incessantly reading." Before turning to writing Meyers worked as the assistant director of Common Purpose, where she worked with batterers, domestic violence victims, and at-risk youth impacted by family violence. It is no doubt that her experiences as director greatly influenced her darkly dramatic debut novel, The Murderer's Daughters.
In addition to her novels Meyers is the co-author of the non-fiction book Couples with Children. She currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts with her husband and two daughters. She teaches writing seminars at the Grub Street Writers' Center in Boston.
The event is co-sponsored by Elm Street Books. Lunch will be served and pre-registration is required.

Feel free to join me!
Morning all,
After months of injuries - achilles tendonitis, itb, patella femoral pain syndrome, foot, ankle, knee hip and back pain i am ready to run!...at least i think i am!
Yes, i am quite possible mad, like everyone else on here no doubt, but i refuse to accept that with the correct treatment, stretches, running schedule i cannot eventually achieve my goal of completing a marathon.
I started running in 2008, overweight, smoking 20 a day, and have completed a few 10k races and even managed to get up to 13 mile long runs at my peak. Afer 12 months running i hit 25 miles a week and ran 100 miles in May 2009. Running changed my life, and i want it back!
This week i ventured out for my first run/walk with my newly aquired orthotics from the nhs, which replaced my old carbon fibre ones (not supporting my now completely collapsed arch). Some friends/colleagues/fellow runners have told me they would have quit months ago but as i used to post on here fairly regularly i know i'm not alone in being a little bit loopy with my running obsession. I have stretched every muscle i can think of im my quest to return to running, getting up at 'stupid o'cock' to stretch for months on end. Cycling to work daily, at weekends and my cross trainer have kept me kind of sane but i want to get back to doing what i love best.
To keep me going i thought i'd start a new thread, somewhere i can log my runs like i used to, but rather than stick them in a diary i thought i'd post them here. Anyone who wants to post their runs here is more than welcome, i think i may need the support of some fellow runners after such a long break. Hopefully, by the summer i may even be able to contemplate entering a 10k race, but at the moment its one goal at a time.
Over the next 10 weeks i am going to follow a simple runners world schedule which got me running right at the start, from 0-30 minutes running in 10 weeks. Hopefully, this will stop me from getting carried away, gettng injured, and being forced to stop...again! This is the schedule i am going to be following, today being my third run, but as i have been off for so long i am doing the first week twice, so anyone who wants to join me can, or anyone else starting out or returning from injury can feel free to post your runs here, the more the merrier!
Week 1: Two minutes running/four minutes walkingWeek 2: Three minutes running/three minutes walkingWeek 3: Four minutes running/two minutes walkingWeek 4: Five minutes running/three minutes walkingWeek 5: Seven minutes running/three minutes walkingWeek 6: Eight minutes running/two minutes walkingWeek 7: Nine minutes running/one minute walkingWeek 8: Thirteen minutes running/two minutes walkingWeek 9: Fourteen minutes running/one minute walkingWeek 10: Run the whole time
I'll be back before lunch to post todays run which will be later than normal, due to a heavy curry night!
That felt very good! A little tempted to run for longer but will stick with the plan! Need to slow up a little though, i'm running at almost race pace (for me anyway) as i feel so refreshed after each walk. I'm going to keep a record of my mileage too so i can see how i progress.
Tuesday 2 miles
Thursday 2.47
Sunday 2.4 miles

Isn't that Chi running a big rip off? I don't think i'm old enough for it yet anyway! As for podiatrrists i wouldn't be running if it wasn't for my insoles. Old football injuries, torn ankle ligaments, collapsed arches etc mean its extremely painful just walking without them.
Decided to go straight to week two rather than repeat week one. A nice steady run along the canal tow path in the dark. It seemed to get dark very quickly today and i left my headtorch at home like an idiot. Still, it was nice just to run again and i'm really enjoying being back out there, even if i am having to reign myself in and keep it easy.
Week 2.4
Month 9.27
2011 9.27
I am in the same boat. I put a thread on earlier this week as I was getting nowhere with my run/walk schedule. I have been told I was doing the run bits too fast so last night I did one min run (very, slowly, probably my walk breaks were quicker) and 90 seconds walk. Did that for half an hour and felt fine when I got home. My problem is I have about four stone to loose - I was getting so puffed out on the walk breaks I was really loosing heart. Like you, I am returning to running, after a bad car accident which has laid me off for some time.
Anyway, tonight I am going to the gym to do a Kettlebell (God help me) workout for the first time, I have been told its a bit calorie burner - decided not to join a slimming group but to just eat healthily and keep running. I tried Chi running, I am probably not doing it right but I think I just need to get running for now, my goal is 30 mins not stop in eight weeks as per the schedule on RW.
Anyway Good luck, you are doing brilliantly, hope we can spur each other on
Can I please join in here - had a bit of a health scare over Xmas - but tests revealed nothing sinister but the doctor said weight may be a factor as I was 13 stone - probably 2 stone over weight.
I started on the 31st December as did not want to think of it as a new year resolution and started on the beginners 5K schedule - I adapted it a bit as I I found anything longer than a minute was to long - so I chose to run a minute run minute walk ten times in the first week, increased the run time to 2 minutes (6 times) with a minute walk and then increased the running time each week until I reached 5 minutes off a minute recovery - I then started to reduce the recovery time from a minute down to 45 seconds then 30 until the recovery was down to nothing and am 'running' non stop for 21 minutes (this morning) - do slightly longer on a sunday but have been doing that as a pyramid, ie 1 minute run 1 walk then 2 run 3 run 4 run etc then back down again - all of which takes about 30 minutes.
Have agreed to run the Braintree 5 mile race at the end of this month which I am looking forward to as I am running as part of a works team (also running round with my 18 yo nephew which is a big thrill for me) have told him not to wait for me but he said he would!!
The weight is coming off - don't know how much I have lost, but the suit I bought after christmas which was tight is now loose so am pleased with that -
And for the first time for a long time I am actually starting to feel good about myself!!
Sorry just wanted to share all of that
Well done - I am so impatient to be able to get back to where I was a few years ago, done loads of half marathons and 10ks, I was never very quick but now I can't even run for two minutes. Yesterday I felt better than I have for ages after putting a thread on these forums and someone advised me to do the very basic traing - I've decided I have nothing to loose but the weight.
Grendel I think you've done really well, hope I can do as good.
Thanks Marja - have only just started to run again after 12 years - last race was in May 1999 so I am a complete beginner - have done loads of races in the past so find it quite tough to realise that I can't do the same sort of times distances etc - still took the decision that I am a complete beginner, albeit with a bit more knowledge and started again!!!
SO good luck Marja
Thanks - I think part of my trouble (I've been trying to get back on track for about six weeks now) has been that I havent acknowledged that I am now a complete beginner again, I kept getting very frustrated at not being able to run, just kept thinking how can it be that I cant run for one minute without being unable to breathe when I've done all the races in the past? I just couldnt get my head round it, sounds completely stupid I know. The fact that I have put on two and a half stone didnt seem to enter my silly head!. Anyway, I am taking the slow but sure route now, not running every day but trying to cross train or at least walk every day, trying to run four times a week.
We will have to help each other, its great to know that we are not alone! All my ex training partners keep offering to run with me again but I think I will go it alone until I can at least run for twenty minutes without stopping.
Not even thinking about running with anyone - tried to keep up with a runner who 12 years ago I could have matched stride for stride but no chance - but I am running which is the main thing and the weight coming off - I'm sure if you take it easy and keep being motivated it will come back - am currently 'running' everyday (notice the commas on running) but not to far am up to 21 minutes non stop and am looking forward to the 5 mile race on the 27th March - also the Essex 5 mile championships so it will be nice to bump into some of the guys I used to know!!
Anyway nice to know other people out there in the same boat!!!
Hi Marja and Grendel, welcome to the thread. I think its a little easier when there are others in the same boat to encourage you so lets hope we're all reaching our running (and weight) goals asap! Hope the kettlebell session went well Marja. Congratulations on the weight loss Grendel, i'm slowly getting back into shape myself, about another half a stone and i'll be very happy.
Went for a nice steady run this afternoon after work with my wife cycling next to me. She's currently injured and not a happy bunny! I know how she feels watching others run, its very depressing. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed my run and looking forward to Sunday already.

Just run
no, your not mad, just trying to improve your lifestyle like all of us
running has made me fit and happy
good luck always
Hi Folks..... Would like to join in on this thread as I appear to be in the same boat as the rest of you.
Started running again after a fifteen year gap after hitting fifty and getting a Garmin 305 for christmas (by choice), also a runner had just started working were I work, and talking about it stirred something up inside.....
In 1996 I would have been classed as a decent runner, but after picking up a calf injury which seemed to get worse with treatment, I just lost interest, having been running for sixteen years, improvement had stopped and running was becoming a chore........
Back to today..... I'm consantly having having to change my training programme due to niggle's and soreness, and have had to change my expectations dramatically, these are things I would never have done in the past... But, am starting to enjoy it, have found my level, and fingers crossed I'll be able to compete at that level......
JR, great to read your threads, but something I've just learn't in recent weeks, your programme is not written in stone, and listen to your body..... Shit I must be getting old........
Good evening all,
I too would like to join this thread. We all have the same common background in that we could all run before and for various reasons are back here at the beginning.
I have recently started a walk/run programme which initially felt frustrating. It is easy to remember a time when running was easy and I couldn't understand why everyone didn't do it. Fast forward 10 years and I am having another go!
A word of caution, I had this same idea about 15 months ago. It started "well" because I pushed myself with memories of the "old days". This inevitably led to injury on both my knees which knocked me out of action long enough for me to lose motivation.
Therefore I suggest listening very closely to your body. However tempted you are to make rapid progress it is a known fact that aerobic fitness will increase faster than muscle strength and joint adaption. This WILL lead to injury and you could be sidelined for some time.
Be flexable in your training plan. Treat all aches and pains immediately and rest where necessary. Like I said, I learned this lesson the hard way.
Currently I am on week 9 of my training and taking it slow. I can run for 20 mins non stop without difficulty but stick to 5minutes and 2 minute walk. This helps me concentrate on form, train longer and reduces risk of injury. I train safe in the knowledge that this gradual progression will help maintain my motivation and leave me injury free (hopefully)
Good luck everyone!! I would love this thread to survive and evolve as everyone here regains there fitness.
you know folkes
we are all getting older it's that simple, i'm not the man i was, i doubt i'll find my peak PB's of 2006 again
oh, i or we can go out there nad have fun, and some days battle with it, course i can
but there comes a time when just enjoyment is what matters
ok , it was 20 miuntes, thre was a time when it was 20 miles-
yes friend your right, - but i'm the same- i could at one time, depending on the diary and my time - say 40 weeks avaible to compete and complete 56 events
There was a time when i could leave my wife over night or for a weekend and go take phil on double events, but no longer sadly - she too sick for that
so times change, and i've accepted that - its a bitter bullet to bite but i'm coping better accepting it
Welcome Bluenose74 and Addy, thanks for the advice, i am not very good at taking it like most runners but hopefully some will sink in and i won't go pushing it too soon.
Sunday 13 March
3 minutes run, 3 minutes walk - 30 minutes total. 2.55 miles
Nice steady run along the canal again, lovely and sunny this morning! My form seems to be improving now, and i'm finding that constant, steady pace easy to maintain. NOT getting carried away though, and always listening to my body. If i do start to feel any twinges etc then i'll take it easy, treat the problem, cut my running time/mileage in half and if needs be take a step back. I want to return to running long term and i'm fed up with injuries so don't intend to get any through my own bloody mindedness.

Delta Avenue to get facelift
GLADSTONE – It appears Gladstone's Delta Avenue will be getting a facelift. Officials discussed a "complete rebuild" of the street during its meeting Monday.
The Gladstone City Commission authorized the signing of a contract Monday with the Michigan Department of Transportation for hot mix asphalt paving on stretches of Delta Avenue and North 9th Street. Under the agreement, Delta Avenue will be repaved from 14th Street to 11th Street. Concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks, and pavement marking work are included in the project.
"It's a complete rebuild of the street, curb and gutter, and sidewalks, with installing a small boulevard between the curb and gutter and sidewalks," said Barry Lund, Public Works superintendent.
Delta Avenue will be narrowed by 14 to 16 feet to accommodate the boulevards on either side of the roadway.
"The reason I'd like to see it narrowed down is I think a narrower street is more cozy, it looks better. A lot of architects will tell you, especially if you're entering into a business district, that it slows traffic down," said Commissioner Joe Maki. "It's a whole lot better than a great big wide street."
The angle parking currently on Delta Avenue will be replaced with parallel parking to meet current federal requirements.
"In order to get federal funds you cannot do angle parking anymore. It has to be parallel," said Lund.
In addition to slowing down traffic in the downtown, the boulevards will allow for snow to be left along the road in the winter instead of being picked up and hauled away.
"It costs us roughly $1,100 a block to pick up snow per year…," said Lund.
Winter road maintenance is only one benefit to the two 7 to 8 foot boulevards planned for the road. The boulevards will also be home to around 30 trees and will provide drainage for storm water.
The North 9th Street re-paving project will begin at North 5th Street and continue to North Lakeshore Drive. Curb and gutter and sidewalks are not included in the 9th Street project.
"That's going to be an overlay, a simple overlay," said Lund, adding two concrete driveways will also be installed along the route.
The contract with MDOT for both projects is a force account, meaning the labor, equipment, and materials for the federally-aided construction work will be provided by the city rather than bid out. The city and its employees will then be compensated by the federal and state government.
"We're making money as far as personnel, labor and benefits, and any equipment," said Lund.
The two projects are predicted to cost an estimated $320,998 with only $68,771.76 being paid by the city. All other costs will be paid by the federal government or the state of Michigan.

Jaula Pitts and Sierra Wise, of the DSU Explorer Club's Amazing Scientists team, get their robot ready for the competition.
Consistent with its increased emphasis in the STEM discipline Delaware State University hosted the first-ever Lower Delaware First State FIRST LEGO League Qualifier competition for elementary and middle children on Jan. 19.
The FIRST LEGO event engages children to different areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and allows them to compete in designing and building a robot, the understanding of core values and in research presentations.
Seventeen teams from throughout Lower Delaware – including two teams from the DSU-sponsored Explorer Club – competed in the qualifier. Large tables were set up in the second floor parlors of the MLK Student Center, on which small mobile robots designed by each teams were put to the test in completing a programmed task.
"This competition emphasizes teamwork, thinking skills, the use of technology in a productive way, and being creative," said Cheryl Potack, a mathematics teacher at the Charter School of Wilmington, which fielded a team in the competition.
The DSU Explorer Club teams – the Amazing Scientists and the 1.7 Hotties – finished 10th and 17th, respectively.
Jatique Gilliard and Michale Speller, the DSU Explorer Club's 1.7 Hotties team, work on their robot.
Dr. Eric Cheek, the director of DSU Adult and Continuing Education served as the coordinator of the qualifier. He said the top six teams from the qualifier would go on to compete on Jan. 26 at the First State FIRST LEGO League Championship at the Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware in Newark.
The top six teams that will go to the First State FIRST LEGO League Championship are the Comets -White team and the Comet - Red team both of St. Ambrose School (Pa.), the MOE Bulldogs of the Prestige Academy of Wilmington, Newark Charter School 1 team, the Brader Elementary School Tigers of Newark, and the top qualifier team, the Chef Bot-Ar-Dees of the Unionville-Chaddis Ford School District (Pa.).
The winner of that competition will be invited to the FIRST LEGO International Festival in LEGOLAND in California.
During the morning session, junior FIRST LEGO League teams also participated in robotics events, which included four teams from the DSU Explorers Club. All of the junior teams won prizes in their respective categories.
About 50 students and faculty/staff members volunteered their time at the event to help make it a resounding success.

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Panelists discuss rights for LGBTQ community
By SAMANTHA
OBSERVER Staff Writer
Those who are a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning community, their allies and other individuals interested in becoming allies, joined together Saturday afternoon for a panel discussion in downtown Fredonia.
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua's LGBTQ Social Action Team hosted the panel forum at the Fredonia Grange. A panel of eight individuals shared their personal stories as a member of the LGBTQ community or as an ally and how individuals can take social action.
Greg Rabb, councilman-at-large and president of Jamestown city council, said he is the only openly gay politician in the eight counties of Western New York. Rabb said he is welcomed by the Democratic party as being openly gay. He said many other politicians do not care about the LGBTQ community.
"Our issues are all stalled right now. We have marriage equality in New York state because of Governor Andrew Cuomo," Rabb said. "Politics does matter. The Republican Party does not care about our rights."
Panelists Shay Brauchler and Helen Walther are both transgender. Walther said by coming out and starting to live as her "true self" she gained power. She runs transgender support groups out of Jamestown and online.
"By coming out and not being ashamed, I can show people that yes, I'm a human being, I'm more like you than I'm different, and that I deserve the same decency and respect that you would give any stranger in the street," Walther said.
Panelist Maria Krauss, who also organized the event, said what was helpful during her coming out was preserving the family relationships she cherished the most. She spoke of her relationship with her grandma.
"One part of my family is very religious … One of my strongest relationships is with my grandma … and it has not changed our relationship a bit," Krauss said.
Bob Reeder spoke on behalf of PFLAG – parents, families and friends of lesbians and gays. Reeder has said one in four families has a member of the LGBTQ community. Reeder's son has come out as being gay. PFLAG also helps advocate and be allies. Reeder is part of the PFLAG Chautauqua chapter.
Abby Bologa spoke about knowing yourself first and self-acceptance. She said if you don't love yourself first, you won't find acceptance with others. She also said that it is important to be forgiving and understanding about language when talking about LGBTQ communities and to always remember to have respect towards others. Parents should talk with their children and set good examples of how they would like their kids to behave.
"If you're labeling yourself for somebody else to satisfy them, you really … are just trying to satisfy them," Bologa said.
Teresa, a graduate of Dunkirk High School who asked that the OBSERVER only use her first name, talked about her struggles in high school with discrimination. She said she got through high school by a support system at home, good teachers at school and friends who care.
"I have been fortunate of actually having friends who accept me for me. They don't care as long as I'm there for them as a friend," she said.
Following the panel, the audience was able to ask questions. At the end, audience members were given information on current proposed legislation for equal rights in regards to employment and gender expression nondiscrimination, and the safe schools improvement acts. Information was given out on state representatives and where to write elected officials. Rabb said to write a handwritten note and mail it. Do not use email as it looks too easy to do. He suggested letter writers also sign with an email, phone and mailing address and say they look forward to an immediate response. Letters should be followed up by a phone call.
"…Without allies, we don't make progress," Rabb said.

Has anyone made a "perfect" pizza and have yet to duplicate it? My dilemma is that I made a "perfect" crust 2 months ago before finding this forum and have yet been able to duplicate it.
For 25 minutes on a thursday afternoon I was in heaven. Unfortunately, I was the only person to experience this bliss. My poor wife was at work and as much as this pizza delighted me, I don't think the neighbors would have shared in my enthusiasm if I would have come knocking on their doors and upon opening them they would have found me grinning from ear to ear saying "try this!" Since then I've been trying to recreate that pie. I've done the exact same things as that day, but I haven't gotten the exact same result. Now, they are always great, but never that "perfect" pie like that one afternoon.
Just like a master chef can create a fabulous meal out of any situation and ingredients thrown at him/her. That I'm afraid is a lifetime of learning. Like Norma, I too enjoy experimenting and will probably always do so. Perhaps with not as much vigor once I start making bigger strides.

Fundamentals: Mobile App Development
Mobile application development will play an increasingly important role for organizations that need to reach employees and customers with purpose-built apps. If your organization is considering creating mobile applications, we provide essential information to help you get started. This report covers development basics for the four major mobile platforms: Apple iOS, Google Android, RIM BlackBerry and Microsoft Windows.
Each platform has a preferred development language (for instance, it's Java on Android and Objective-C for iOS), but app writers can also work with cross-platform tools. This report looks at two popular Adobe cross-platform options: Air and PhoneGap. Air will let developers write for Android, iOS and BlackBerry; support for Windows isn't yet available. Developers can create apps for all four platforms using PhoneGap. However, developers should also consider the trade-offs of cross-development app creation, because some features may not translate well from platform to platform.
Developers must also pay close attention to security. That means taking advantage of security functions made available on the mobile platforms, including support for remote-wipe capabilities, secure protocols such as SSL/TLS, and cryptographic functions for device encryption and hashing. Developers should also use best practices to write secure code. While traditional software exploits such as buffer overflows have yet to emerge on mobile platforms, the ubiquity of smartphones and tablets increases the chances that criminals will target software vulnerabilities on these devices.
Finally, this report offers advice on how organizations can decide on the platforms to target for their employees and customers, and the requirements that developers have to meet to get access to
development tools and to submit apps to markets such as Apple's App Store. (S4270312)

New Leadership Sworn In For Catt. Co.
LITTLE VALLEY – Through a bit of controversy, the 2014 leadership slate has been established and the year is ready to start for the Cattaraugus County Legislature.
With a bit of dissension among the Republican ranks as to who would be seated as the chairman for the coming year, District 3 Legislator Norman Marsh, RLittle Valley, retained the seat he held in 2013. Marsh had won a straw poll in late 2013 to test the waters in leadership for the county GOP. He won by one vote. Speculation has surfaced that the vote to sway the seat to Marsh was aided by now-Olean Mayor Bill Aiello, who, as a District 10 county legislator, was allowed to cast his vote.
After an afternoon of deliberation, county Republicans took their seats in the chamber and District 6 Legislator James Snyder Jr., RCuba, made a motion for Marsh to take the seat again. Being unopposed in the public nomination, County Administrator John R. "Jack" Searles declared Marsh chairman for the year.
In his address to the members of the legislature, Marsh said the preceding year was very smooth, as the budget went, but some processes will need refining in the coming year.
"While out tax rate may not have been as low as we would have liked, with the uncertainty of the economy, I think we did a good job," he said. "With some new ideas from the Ad Hoc Budget Committee that helped in this past year, our procedural and financial aspects should be improved over the next few years."
An area that will need some work this year, and in years to come, will be the development of a plan on how the county can better handle changes in Medicaid, as New York state moves toward full control of the program, Marsh said.
"Our plan must be adaptable to different situations in a short period of time," he said. "It looks like any departments that are impacted by Medicaid will have a busy year."
Another process that will need to be redeveloped in the coming year, Marsh said, will be in how the county disseminates funds from casino revenue payments.
"With New York state and the Seneca Nation of Indians resolving the gaming dispute, our county came into millions of dollars. While this may sound like a dream come true, it created problems that we were not prepared for, due to the magnitude of the requests," he said. "I think we need to initiate a new process and criteria by which we distribute casino money. While this may be just clarifying some things, it also means incorporating new ideas in how we handle these requests."
After being seated as the minority leader for another term, James Boser – D – District 7, Allegany – offered his views on some of the more pressing issues facing the county in the coming year, as well as some of the highlights of 2013.
Boser said one more issue will be facing the county in 2014 that needs to be discussed: the county nursing homes.
"We must deal with the county nursing homes, a very difficult decision will have to be made," he said. "With all the changes we have seen with the Affordable Care Act, and with many more to come, it will be a trying time for the county."
A trend uncovered in the 2012 audit of nursing homes for the county found that more and more costs are building to keep the facilities viable, but they are not hitting the self-sufficient point, needing additional funding.
"The Machias facility is not in a strong financial position and will not be for the foreseeable future," said Michael McCarthy of McCarthy & Conlon, LLP, the firm that has handled the auditing services for the homes, in June. "Funds are going to have to come from somewhere, general fund or from the taxpayers. It is going to need a subsidy before the end of the year."
Boser said the County Museum building issue will have to be addressed in the coming year as well.
"This building has generated more correspondence than anything I have seen in 10 years," he said, adding that the move of the Board of Elections from the other side of the museum building went well. "The move to the old Little Valley school … went well with their new facility being a most welcome change and providing a facility that meets all of their needs."
With the initial dispute settled, the vice-chair position was met with contention with legislature republicans nominating James Snyder Sr. – R-District 10, Olean – and William Sprague – D-District 4, Yorkshire – receiving the nomination from the Democratic contingent. On a party line vote, Snyder took the seat.
Leadership for the Cattaraugus County Republicans were appointed as District 5 Legislator Donna Vickman – R- Farmersville Station – as majority leader, Patrick Murphy – R-District 2, Cattaraugus – as assistant leader, and Steven Teachman – R-District 10, Olean – as majority whip.
On the other side of the aisle, in addition to Boser continuing to serve as minority leader, Sprague will serve as assistant leader and Susan Labuhn – D-District 9, Salamanca – as whip.
All of the leadership for the coming year was sworn in by Cattaraugus County Judge, Ronald Ploetz, swearing them in together in the spirit of unity, he said.
Ploetz also swore in re-elected District Attorney Lori Pettit Reiman, flanked by her family, re-elected Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb, with his family, and his daughter in-arm, and Undersheriff, William Nichols.
The legislature will get to regular business at their next scheduled meeting Wednesday at the Third Floor Legislative Chambers at the County Center, 303 Court St., Little Valley. The session will start at 3 p.m.

NORCECA Next Challenge for U.S. Women

U.S. Women's NORCECA Press Kit
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 7, 2011) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, ranked second in the world by the FIVB, enters the 2011 NORCECA Women's Continental Championship being held Sept. 12-17 in Caguas, Puerto Rico, with an expanded – yet guarded – level of confidence after two solid years of success following a disappointing finish in the 2009 NORCECA Continental Championship.
Just last month Team USA captured the FIVB World Grand Prix – the premier annual international volleyball tournament for women – for the second consecutive year.
"We made some significant improvement over the course of the World Grand Prix," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Obviously it was nice to win, but the goal was to improve as a team – and we achieved that."
The U.S. Women will need that same level of confidence and learning experience as the NORCECA Continental Championship serves as a qualifier into the FIVB World Cup, which serves as the first 2012 Olympic Games qualifying event. Only the top two teams from the NORCECA Championship earn tickets to the FIVB World Cup, unless a third team is selected with one of two available wild card spots.
"I think each event is mutually exclusive," McCutcheon said in reference to comparing the FIVB World Grand Prix and the upcoming NORCECA Women's Continental Championship. "But I do think our athletes have earned the right to stand out there against anyone in the world and feel like they can win. It doesn't mean that they will, but I think they now know they can compete with anyone."
McCutcheon has selected as part of his 19-player preliminary roster middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.), Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Outside hitters in the mix for the final roster are Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah).
Setters named to the preliminary roster are Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.). Opposites on the preliminary squad are Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio), Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Liberos on the roster are Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
All 19 players on the NORCECA preliminary roster were part of the 20-player FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary roster.
The U.S. Women have been placed in the three-team Pool B of the NORCECA Women's Continental Championship. Team USA receives a bye on Sept. 12 before facing Canada on Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. Puerto Rico Time (5 p.m. Pacific Time) and Trinidad & Tobago on Sept. 14 at 4 p.m. Puerto Rico Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time). Should the U.S. finish as one of the top two first-place teams in the three pools, it will bypass the quarterfinal round on Sept. 15 and advance directly to the semifinal on round on Sept. 16. The two teams reaching the gold-medal match on Sept. 17 will also receive tickets to the FIVB World Cup along with their NORCECA podium medals.
While the Americans have gained confidence on the court with two successful years netting a 49-20 record since the start of 2010, the NORCECA Women's Continental Championship is a new tournament with an ever-expanding number of teams capable of pulling an upset. Team USA found itself on the outside of the NORCECA gold-medal match for the first time since 1989.
At the last biennial NORCECA Women's Continental Championship in 2009, the U.S. failed to medal in the event for the first time since 1971. USA and Cuba, the main rivals for the gold medal over the past five decades, had played against each other in 16 of the last 17 finals and both lost in the 2009 NORCECA semifinal matches. The Americans had won the event five times with 11 silver medals during a 22-year period of the biennial event, along with a bronze medal in the first-ever event in 1969. Cuba was the defending champion in the event and had won 13 of the previous 21 NORCECA Championships.
The 2009 NORCECA Championship showcased how much the FIVB zone has improved over the years. Dominican Republic captured the gold medal after earning the bronze medal in five of the previous six tournaments. Puerto Rico earned the silver medal during its first-ever trip to the NORCECA podium. With the improving quality of teams within the NORCECA region, one or two plays can help define a close match result.
"The biggest lesson we learned as a team at the 2009 NORCECA Championship was the power of the little play," McCutcheon said. "We were in three five-set losses that we could have won had we been able to make one more pass, one more set, serve one more ball in the court - some basic things that we could control. We are much better at reading the game and executing those fundamentals for a longer period of time."
The U.S. Women's National Team composition has also changed slightly in the last two years since the 2009 NORCECA Continental Championship, which was one year after the 2008 Olympic Games and some veterans took time off away from the National Team. Only six players (Berg, Davis, Bown, Larson, Metcalf, Harmotto) from the 2009 NORCECA event also stood on the podium last month after winning the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix. Veterans have returned to the team and blended in with the younger athletes who have gained significant amount of international experience during the quadrennial.
"Good teams have balance, they have a variety of ways they can attack and defend an opponent," McCutcheon continued. "We're starting to develop that."
After taking all of 2009 and most of 2010 off, Tom returned to the U.S. squad and has been a major stabilizing force. At the two most recent FIVB World Grand Prix, she finished ninth in scoring during the Final Round in 2010 and 2011. She was second in Best Server and 10th in Best Digger in the 2011 event. At the 2010 FIVB World Championship, she was named Best Receiver and ranked 17th in scoring and 13th in digging.
As a newcomer to the squad, Hooker has made an impact over the last two years. She was named the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix most valuable player with 101 points in the Final Round for second-best and 228 points throughout the entire tournament. She finished fourth in Best Spiker in the tournament and 11th in Best Blocker. At last year's FIVB World Championship, Hooker was the fifth-best scorer with 219 points.
Akinradewo also has turned into an elite international player as she won the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix most valuable player. At this year's World Grand Prix event she ranked 12th in scoring in the Final Round and was the third in Best Blocker and sixth in Best Server.
Larson gained valuable playing time during the 2009 season and has emerged as a key contributor to the U.S. Women's National Team. She was 11th in both Best Scorer and Best Spiker in the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round, along with third in Best Server and fifth in Best Receiver.
The youth movement has included several other players who have made impacts over the past two years including Alisha Glass (2010 FIVB World Grand Prix Best Setter), Hodge (four starts at the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix), Harmotto, Fawcett, Spicer and Miyashiro. All have joined the team in the past three years and have provided the depth necessary alongside the veterans that include Berg, Bown, Davis, Kim Glass, Metcalf, Richards and captain Tamas.

This trick will blow your mind!
Getting dry or powdered graphite into a lock mechanism can be tricky. Club member Blaine Schattenberg of Tooele, Utah, accomplishes this by blowing graphite into the lock through a hollow coffee stirrer. He partially fills the stirrer by placing one end over the graphite container�s nozzle (or needle) and holding his finger over the other end. Once the straw is filled, he places the open end in the lock and blows.

Before Muta University Graduates
Kerak, Jordan
11 June 2008
Dear Brothers the Graduates,
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
May God grant you good health.
On this blessed day, we celebrate the graduation of this group of the homeland's chivalrous knights who today become officers in the Arab Army and security institutions and who will have the honour of practical service in work, sacrifice and giving. They will work side by side with their brothers and comrades in arms – officers and soldiers – who have dedicated their souls to the defence of this country, its security and stability.
On this day and on this occasion, I extend to the graduates of the twenty-first class, the Khalid Bin Al Walid Battalion, my greetings, along with my feelings of pride, and my sincere congratulations on their success and achievement in acquiring the knowledge, preparation and training that will enable them to perform their duties and responsibilities in the future. I would like also to extend my greetings and express my appreciation to the Muta University family, its professors, trainers and administrators, for their distinguished efforts and ceaseless giving in preparing this group of graduates and previous ones.
Dear Brothers the Graduates,
As of today, each one of you will enter the fields of honour, work and dedication, for you are the homeland's devoted soldiers. Difficulties and challenges will only enhance your determination and strength and your allegiance to the principles and goals of the Great Arab Revolt, which strove to liberate and unite the nation and defend the values of right, justice and freedom. I am confident that each and every one of you realises that the homeland's security and stability supersede all other interests and considerations. For all of us, the first priority is to protect this homeland and preserve its progress and achievements.
The armed forces is a major partner in comprehensive development, especially as it concerns training human resources, establishing productive enterprise and providing basic services of education and healthcare.
I want you and every member of the armed forces and security institutions to be assured of our keenness to support these institutions through modernisation and development, preparation and training and the provision of the latest weaponry and equipment. We are also keen to continually improve their living conditions and provide decent housing to the families of servicemen. We also owe the retirees and families of martyrs and injured military personnel their due care, attention and appreciation for their service and the sacrifices they have made for the homeland.
With the determination of the sons and daughters of the one Jordanian family, Jordan will remain an oasis of security and stability and a model of progress and prosperity. It will be able to face challenges and realise the greatest achievements.
Once again, we extend our greetings and appreciation to each officer and soldier in the Arab Army and security institutions and offer our congratulations to the graduating officers. With God's help, spirits will be high and the flag will wave high.
Peace, God's mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rose Crompton of Vibrations Direct asked about poly, podcasting and my favorite sex toys. It was a fun interview and ended with my best advice for those approaching nonmonogamy for the first time.
Giving poly a go? My top tips for poly newbies:
Be prepared to meet parts of yourself you didn't know about. You will find insecurities you didn't know were there, and you'll experience joy in ways you never knew you could.
Be patient with yourself and your partner(s). Remember your first attempts at monogamy weren't perfect, either.
Worry less about rules and more about what you have to offer. As with monogamous dating, people with lots of rules and criteria rarely find what they seek, and those who are open-minded and easygoing find unexpected pleasures.
Own your shit – by this I mean baggage. If you're not strong enough to say, "I was wrong," "I need to bring something up" or "my last STI test came up positive," you aren't ready for poly. Being confident enough to own your own baggage and brave enough to start tough conversations is essential.
Start from a healthy place. Get your existing relationships healthy first. The 'relationship broken; add more people' model almost never works. You will have to trust your partner to tell you when you're love-goggling, when he's feeling jealous and when you aren't pulling your weight.
Get a support network. Seek out local communities of real people who have real-life experience with polyamory and its ups and downs; having trusted contacts who've been there and can provide advice and a sympathetic ear is invaluable.

Queen Elizabeth was hospitalized Sunday for a stomach bug, BBC News reports.
The Queen was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital, the same place Kate Middleton was treated for acute morning sickness last year.
Awards season: Which gown was best?
Queen Elizabeth first felt sick on Friday night and canceled her trip to Swansea, Wales, on Saturday. "She was not taken into the hospital immediately after feeling the symptoms," her spokesman said. "This is simply to enable doctors to better assess her."
The Queen is expected to stay in the hospital for about two days.

- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

- 2 ounces dried cranberries, soaked in 1-ounce brandy
- 4 ounces venison stock
- 4 ounces veal stock
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper
- 6 ounces maitake mushrooms, sliced and sauteed
- 20 pieces fiddlehead ferns, blanched and sauteed
- Polenta, recipe follows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the chutney, place shallots and butter in a saucepan and sweat. Add the rum, cranberries, and tamarind and bring to a boil, flame the liquor and reduce the liquid by half. Add the dry spices and salt and cook until combined. Add the sugar and cook until it liquefies. Add the zests and sherry vinegar and reduce by 2/3. Add the berries and reduce to thick syrup consistency. Adjust the seasonings and set aside.
For the rub, mix the garlic, thyme, rosemary, pepper, coriander, and salt together. Brush the venison with oil and rub in the spices. Sear in a very hot pan with a little olive oil and then roast in the oven to an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
To make the sauce, degrease and deglaze the searing pan with the cranberry brandy mixture. Flame and reduce the brandy, add the stock and reduce to a cream consistency. Whisk in a tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper. Strain sauce. Add the mushrooms and fiddlehead ferns and keep warm until ready to serve.
To serve venison, place on large platter and serve with sauce and polenta topped with the chutney.
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons butter, plus more for sauteeing
2 cups chicken stock, hot
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves
1/2 cup polenta
2 ounces Parmesan
1/2 cup corn kernels, blanched
Salt and pepper
1 egg white, whipped to medium peaks
For the polenta, saute the onions in the butter and add the chicken stock and thyme. Whisk in the polenta and continue to stir with a wooden spoon until grains are tender. Add the Parmesan, corn and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly then fold in the egg whites. Place polenta in a pan or mold to set up, about 1 hour. When ready to serve, cut desired shape and saute in butter until golden brown and warmed through.
