Good fruit in Montreal
Posted 17 February 2007 - 11:59 PM
Currently I get most of my fruit from supermarche PA on the corner of Laurier and Parc. They carry a good selection at very good prices with fairly good quality. Sometimes the asian pears are a steal at less than a dollar a pound and can be remarkably tasty, if intermittently so. I like the ya asian pears, forelle; rocha; and red anjou regular pears, honey tangerines, moro blood oranges, and cara cara red oranges.
Also good for low prices is Sakaris on St. Laurent between Rachel and Mont Royal. They often carry some nice stuff at good prices.
A while ago there were some yellow honey dew melons from brazil packaged in red netting floating around that were unbelievable.
There is of course also JTM and atwater. Atwater I don't have much experience with and would be keen to hear some opinions on. At JTM there are the ubiquitous fruit stalls which sometimes carry good stuff, but I find it a bit overpriced and their practice of sugaring the fruit distasteful. There is also of Chez Louis and Chez Nino but I find their prices somewhat prohibitive, and I'm not certain some of their lower priced stuff is any different from other stores selling it elsewhere for cheaper. I would be interested in anything people would consider outstanding; if its good enough its worth the price to me.
What kinds of fruit do you like to buy and where do you buy them?
Posted 18 February 2007 - 12:44 AM
Sorry that I can't give exact price per pound of various items, as I haven't had a chance to get over there since the summer, but it may be worth checking out.
Posted 18 February 2007 - 06:44 AM
I do however know about good-value fruit:
Of course there is Sammy Fruit at the JTM: great prices but the produce is other less-than-stellar.
When I was living in the East, I would shop at Marché Outremont on the corner of Hutchison and Bernard. The nicest people and great prices. Also, of course PA.
Now that Im in the West, I always shop at Rocky Montana on Sherbrooke we buy most of our regular stuff at Loblaws but always buy fruits and vegetables there.
I dont know if Im going to be chastised for saying this but Im not such a huge fan of the Atwater markets fruits and vegetables (besides Diane). Unless its really in season like apples, pears, squashes, garlic I dont make the trek.

Montreal is known as a dumping ground for cheap produce. Most high quality fruits and vegetables don't even make it here because Montrealers have a reputation for being cheap when it comes to produce. The buyers for the big distributers never buy high-end produce because it will most likely rot on the shelves.

I noticed that quality of fruits and vegetables in Montreal isn't close to what I was used to in Ottawa (except a couple of extremely expensive places), although, frankly, I would expect it to be opposite.
So, where did you say the high quality stuff goes?

I've stopped eating it, save for the occasional orange and grapefruit. I ate a green apple the other day. It was mealy and it tasted like I was licking the inside of a dumpster. I shudder just thinking about it.

It's nice to find businesses in MTL, and they are rare, that care so much about what they offer and what their customers want.
Posted 19 February 2007 - 06:34 PM
Heck, I can't get good, ripe fruit in a regular Safeway store in San Francisco either... all unripe..
But, go LOCAL PRODUCTION :
- APPLES (about 10 varieties - all better than most in California) And available most of the year.
- Ontario Peaches - What's this... actually tastes like a PEACH and not sugar water
- Are we allowed to include berries in "fruit"?
- Real Blueberries
- Superb Strawberries (when we are lucky)
- Phenomenal Raspberries
- Cherries
Eat what is in SEASON.
Then, in season get your butts down to Monteregie or ETS to do some pick-your-own and put-up.
And in winter agument that with a box of Maroc Clementines a week - keeps the skurvy away.
You have it good!
Posted 19 February 2007 - 08:02 PM
Thanks for the suggestion, Marche Lobo was one of my haunts back when I lived only a few blocks away, they do have some nice produce at good prices but most of their fruit wasn't great.
I will have to check out some of the suggestions: Marche Outremont, fruiterie Val-mont, Adonis, and the fruiterie on St. Joseph and St. Denis which is especially close to me.
Lesley, I would agree that the fruit scene here is not great, worse than that even, but that doesn't mean I can't find some fruit I enjoy eating. It is febuary so I wouldn't really expect to find any palatable apples other than granny smith. I have rehashed the "montreals fruit sucks or montreals produce sucks" discussion/argument many times before, and I don't really care to do it again. I prefer to focus on what IS available that is atleast good.
As I mentioned in my first post there were some yellow honeydew melons from brazil floating around for a month or two before christmas. They looked like this:
And they were probably the best melons I've ever had; unbelievably juicy, firmly textured and full flavored. But other than that its been mostly a mix of really bad, ok, good, and very good.
I believe in the merits of eating seasonally and locally, but only for products I can get locally. My interest in fruit is far greater than whats limited to our small, cold corner of the world. Most of the fruit I mentioned is in season, in the places that it comes from. Maybe you enjoy sticking with a box of clementines during winter; I do not, and see no reason to when plenty of good fruit from other parts of the world are available to me.
Where are you getting this fantastic local fruit? I visit the JTM weekly more or less and it doesn't seem like much of the fruit is local, even in season. Did they have ontario peaches this past year?. Berries I can't speak for much outside of strawberries, as I find the prices at the JTM prohibitive, but even the strawberries I did buy were OK, not great though. I'd love to get out to the you-pick farms but not having a car makes this pretty difficult, though I do hope to make the trek out to windmill farm when they reopen.
Posted 19 February 2007 - 09:15 PM
I really like the local varieties of apples at JTM, right now the stands right by the interior intersection.
I do think the berry season is outstanding here, and yes, strawberries can be chancy.
But considering what you get it's not expensive.
Yes, wasn't much Ontario Peaches this year, I think you are right.
That's life - that's nature.
We have to change gears. This is how nature is. There are seasons. Live those and enjoy those to the fullest. Don't expect a foreign fruit in any season. and when you find one, enjoy it as as special treat. The whole idea of any food any time anywhere is a chimera. Even with cheap transportation it's still not real. It can't really be done.
I grew up is Sweden "some" time ago, and still remember the cold Orange from my pocket after a Sunday Hockey game. In winter it was Oranges from Israel, "Winter Apples" from my Grandmas attic and dried fruit from California. Always bananas of course. Somehow I don't feel I missed anything. That's what you eat in winter above the 55 parallell.
- Check out the dried fruits! Few things capture summer better.
- Also Melons at Chez Nino.
Posted 20 February 2007 - 01:13 AM
I don't really understand what you're saying. Blood and Cara Cara oranges, forelle and rocha pears, and pommelos are all in season. These are the fruits I like to buy. I believe in buying and eating seasonally, but I'm not going to be a zealot about it. Where do you get the idea that I'm expecting a foreign fruit in any season?
Also, I'd love to know what kind of apples you like, and from which stall(s) (at the JTM)?. I tried a bushel and wrote them off (there's little worse than a mealy apple).
As for berries I'm sure some they were some great ones, but being good doesn't make them any less expensive; it makes them a better value. Unless the berries are going to be otherworldy there are other food items I feel I get more out of than a small basket of berries for 5-8$. Did you actually find any good strawberries at the market this season? I tried a couple different vendors; none were bad, but neither were they excellent.
I did see some gorgeous charentais melons at Nino the other day, they looked good enough that I considered buying them, even at 8$ a pop. If you've never had charentais melons before, they're pretty special.
Posted 20 February 2007 - 02:34 PM
I go to an excellent "fruiterie" on the corner of St-Joseph and St-Denis. The owners will often special order items for me. Last year I asked them to stock Chanterelles and they had beautiful ones from Quebec and BC and were so glad to see how fast people were scooping them up. They always offer fruit at a nice ripeness (not the hard bland stuff you often find at the grocery stores) and their prices are hard to beat. They also have a great selection of exotic fare and bio products, vegetables, fruits and a wall filled with ethnic products. If they sold meat and fish I would do all my grocery shopping there.
It's nice to find businesses in MTL, and they are rare, that care so much about what they offer and what their customers want.
So you are the one responsible for the Chanterelles this summer!! I am so very greatfull for this! I made quite a few risottos and mushroom sauces out of these which brought me, my GF and various guest to culinary hights (and that for significantly less that it would have cost me at Chez Louis or Chez Nino) !
I am also a regular costomer of fruiterie muscat, there pruducts, are alaways of good quality and fairly priced. And they also cary all they etnic condiments that "comon" recipies call for. The owners are very nice and seem to be quite disapointed when they dont carry a product you ask them for. They also made me discover Okras, which I now buy about once a week and make an okra stew with, onions, okaras and diced tomatoes, flavored with espelette chilies!
I go often to JTM for specialty products, but I often find that buying a lot of diffrent fruit/vegetables can be cumbersom and expensive. I often go back to muscat for that part of my shopping were I know I will find ripe and reasonably priced fruit and vegetables.
BTW, they did try to cary meat but after two days they were "SPECIAL" stickers everywere. Guess it didnt fit in the decor!

When I am broke, I buy my fruit at fruiterie 440 in anjou. If it isn't great I haven't paid so much for it. When I am feeling a bit wealthier I head out to JTM where I can sometimes sample before I buy.
Having lived in California for 30 years and I have to agree with Sf&m; much of the fruit we have here is far better than the average produce in California. Having eaten mealy gross blueberries most of my life, I am happy to pay 5$ a pint for wild blueberries here. Same goes for strawberries. The laws are also much more relaxed here, making it much easier to get our hands on more exotic stuff like mangosteens and dragonfuit and at more reasonable prices.
Posted 21 February 2007 - 09:01 AM
Its really frustrating when someone does not have the time to find quality raw materials at various shops.
There's all this talk about mtlers being cheap, but I think its a chicken a egg type of thing.

CENTRALIA — The Althoff Crusaders came tantalizingly close to picking up a South Seven Conference road win.
The Crusaders had the ball trailing by a point with 9.4 seconds left, but they missed two attempts at a go-ahead bucket and lost to the Centralia Orphans 57-56 on Friday night.
"It's a good group of kids who don't quit and kept believing," Althoff coach Greg Leib said. "It's was an incredible effort by our guys tonight, and that's why we had an opportunity to get one on the road in the Seven."
The Crusaders trailed 57-53 after Centralia's Jerod Simmons-Young sank two free throws with 32 seconds left.
Althoff's Keenen Young fired in a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 22 seconds to go, and the Orphans turned the ball over when Chase Alcorn overthrew a wide-open teammate going for a layup on the back end of Althoff's press with 17 seconds left.
After Leib used his final timeout with nine seconds to go, guard Kevin Renner was fouled three times as the Orphans had three fouls to give before reaching the bonus.
On the third foul, Renner almost got off a shot that would have resulted in two free throws with 4.2 seconds left.
The Crusaders inbounded the ball again. Freshman Brendon Gooch got the ball about 10 feet from the basket and put up a shot as he tried to slice through traffic to the rim.
The shot was off the mark, but Erik Furmanek chased down the rebound near the baseline. Furmanek's off-balance shot missed at the buzzer.
"We got a good look at the basket," Leib said. "We run that a lot, and that's Gooch's honey-well right there. You could second-guess and say, 'We should have run this, we should have run that.'
"You get a good look at the basket, and Furmanek makes an incredible play to get the rebound back. It's just tough."
Renner led the Crusaders (8-6, 3-2 South Seven) with 21 points, while Young added 18 points, including nine in the fourth quarter.
"He just turned 15 a couple of weeks ago," Leib said of Young, a freshman. "He really played well tonight and does an excellent job with the ball in his hands. He and Kevin Renner, I thought, really controlled the tempo, and that allowed us to run some offense."
Centralia coach Lee Bennett said his team could have done a better job with the lead at the end of the game.
"We had a favorable situation at the end, so we were trying to make it work to our advantage," Bennett said. "And, we weren't necessarily witty enough to have it work to our advantage."
The Orphans (12-4, 3-2) were led by Simmons-Young with 24 points.
Centralia also got 14 points from De'Ontre Cunningham and 13 points from Jake Wood.
The Orphans scored on a layup by Cunningham for a quick 2-0 lead, but the Crusaders scored eight straight points to go up 8-2.
The Orphans tied the score at 10 on a rebound basket by Simmons-Young.
Then the Crusaders went on a 14-2 run to build a 24-12 lead. Renner scored the final four points of the first quarter on two free throws and a short jumper to put the Crusaders back ahead 14-10. Luke Frazier and Young hit 3s and Renner had a steal and a layup to highlight the rally.
"Young just gets better every time I see him," Bennett said. "The first time I saw him, he wasn't much talked about. A lot of people were talking about Gooch. We saw him and we were like, 'This kid is good."'
The Orphans used a 17-0 run -- the final nine points of the first half and the first eight points of the second half -- to pull in front 33-28.
"We knew it was coming," Leib said. "I didn't think they'd shoot that poorly all game from what we've seen of them. They hit some shots and got enough of a cushion to help them be successful at the end."
Simmons-Young's 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left in the second quarter cut the Orphans' deficit to 28-25.
Simmons-Young hit another 3 and Wood added a 3 as the Orphans took the lead at the start of the third quarter.
The Crusaders tied the score at 36-36 on a basket by Gooch, but a basket by Wood gave the Orphans a 38-36 edge going into the fourth quarter.

The Rock finally gets the role he deserves.
By Ozor (92 reviews) from Essex , 10 Dec 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
This movie isn't anything groundbreaking, it does nothing unique and it doesn't try to. It's an action movie with a fairly decent plot.
The main attraction to this movie will no doubt be The Rock, he plays an ex-convict looking for revenge and stopping at nothing to get it. This is the role he has been in need of, none of the usual gimmicks of his make an appearance, no wrestling, no eyebrows and no cheap quotes. In fact The Rock doesn't say much in this movie at all, which adds to the character and makes him more believable.
This movie is a break The Rock so desperately needed. It isn't an all out action movie so don't go in expecting The Expendables type fights, it's bloody, gritty and tense.
I would give it a good 4/5 as like I said before, it doesn't do anything new or original, but what it tries to do it does well.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 18 Nov 2013No idea what eveyone else is on about, as aside from a twist at the end (which is a more 'meh' than 'OMG'), this thriller is decidely pedestrian with pretty wooden perfomances, The Rock in particular living up to his name- Was this review helpful to you?

Why hello there, didn't see you come in! I'm schmeankman, asking you for a small favor. While I was listening to Mr. Stephen Stills play the organ machine lately, I hath realized my love for the sound of such an instrument, in songs like "Old Times Good Times". I also find myself loving the intro to "You're Time Is Gonna Come".
I ask of you to give me some good music that is heavily organ-based, friends, and thanks.

The life of one of the most infamous women in early '70s America gets a dramatization in this offbeat period biopic from co-directors Jeffrey Friedman and Robert Epstein. In the Florida suburbs, circa 1970, Linda Boreman (Amanda Seyfried) is an ordinary and unremarkable young woman who moved back in with her parents (Robert Patrick and Sharon Stone) a year or so earlier, following an unplanned pregnancy. One night on the town, she crosses paths with Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard) a local bar and restaurant owner who sees Linda as an opportunity; he soon wins her over as a girlfriend, and not long after, the two are married. Within a couple of years, Chuck shoots a private stag film of Linda performing oral sex on a partner, and decides to show it to Gerry Damiano (Hank Azaria), an up-and-coming porn director with ties to the Mafia. Damiano is so impressed by the footage that he immediately decides to cast Linda in his new picture, the hardcore comedy Deep Throat, which becomes the single most lucrative adult film of all time and turns the young woman -- renamed Linda Lovelace -- into a household name. The film then flashes forward to six years later, when Linda authors a shocking tell-all book about what really happened when the cameras weren't rolling; she describes the sadistic abuse that she endured at the hands of Traynor and a series of increasingly futile attempts to escape from his clutches, and claims that she was coerced to appear in the movie. The media then turns Lovelace -- who became a Long Island housewife named Linda Marciano -- into a feminist icon and a crusader against domestic violence and the enslavement of the porn industry. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A family is devastated by a crime committed against a teenage girl in this drama. Annie (Liana Liberato) is 14 years old and growing up in a suburb of Chicago. Annie's parents, Will (Clive Owen) and Lynn (Catherine Keener), are loving, but they've been busy with her older brother, Peter (Spencer Curnutt), who is heading off to college, so she spends a lot of time on-line chatting with a boy she met on the Internet, Charlie. Annie has developed a powerful crush on Charlie, and when he asks her to meet face to face, she eagerly agrees. However, Annie is startled to discover that Charlie isn't 16 years old, as she was led to believe, but in his mid-thirties (Chris Henry Coffey), and when he talks her into stopping by his hotel room, he sexually assaults her. Humiliated, Annie confides to a friend what happened, and eventually the police are notified; it turns out that "Charlie" is a sex offender they've been tracking for months. While Annie is devastated by the experience, her family is just as shocked by what happened, particularly Will, who becomes grimly obsessed with finding the man who raped his daughter. Trust was directed by actor-turned-filmmaker David Schwimmer, representing a significant change from the comedies that made his name. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Michael Douglas stars in this dialogue-driven comedy drama about an ethically challenged New York businessman who finds his life falling apart due to a series of career missteps and personal foul-ups. Once upon a time, Ben Kalmen (Douglas) had everything a man could possibly want -- a high-paying job, a beautiful wife, and a spacious Manhattan apartment -- but now all of that is a distant memory. The former owner of a successful auto dealership, Ben has recently lost everything thanks to his own inability to resist his impulses. But the resilient Ben isn't the type of guy to stay down for the count, and lately things are starting to look up for him again. Despite being divorced from his former college sweetheart Nancy (Susan Sarandon), Ben still manages to see his daughter, Susan (Jenna Fischer), and his grandson on a regular basis, and his new girlfriend, Jordan (Mary-Louise Parker), may have just the connections needed to help the floundering businessman get his career back on track. When Ben takes Jordan's college-bound daughter, Allyson (Imogen Poots), on a tour of a prospective school, however, his steely new resolve is put to the ultimate test. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Now, as the former convict convinces everyone including Bobby Z's girlfriend (Olivia Wilde) that he is in fact the man he claims to be, the drug dealer's old enemies turn up ready to settle some old scores. As the bullets begin to fly, the only choice Kearney has is to run for his life.

A pair of writers inhabiting an abandoned New York tenement building become locked in an antagonistic battle of wills in director Danny Green's adaptation of novelist Bernard Malamud's studied exploration of faltering race relations. The time is the early '70s, and Jewish writer Harry Lesser (Dylan McDermott) is finally nearing completion on the novel that has taken him almost a decade to write. The last tenant in a crumbling inner-city apartment building, Harry soon discovers that he is no longer alone in the building when an illegal squatter named Willie (Snoop Dogg) claims a room down the hall and begins writing his own novel. When Harry attempts to offer writing advice to his new neighbor, his criticism of Willie's "immature" writing style ignites a heated confrontation between the pair that is quickly compounded by the growing relationship between Harry and Willie's white girlfriend Irene (Rose Byrne). As the situation quickly spins out of control and Willie sets fire to the only existing copy of Harry's treasured manuscript, the deep-rooted racial animosity explodes into rage and the two writers become locked in a life-or-death struggle to survive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man with no memory struggles to make sense of the troubling details that are still stuck in his mind in this psychological thriller. Frank (Val Kilmer) wakes up in a small town in the New Mexico desert with a severe head wound and most of his memory wiped away. However, Frank is somehow convinced that someone is planning to assassinate the President of the United States, and that Chloe (Neve Campbell), the woman who is claiming to be his girlfriend, is some sort of imposter. When Frank learns that the president is indeed passing through town that day, he tries to warn Sheriff Kolb (Sam Shepard) that something sinister if afoot; as it happens, Kolb believes him, though he's more than a bit busy dealing with a hard-fought election campaign against former Deputy Cash (Noble Willingham). Blind Horizon was screened at the 2004 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bernard Rose directed this look at the sordid underside of the film business and one man's attempts to come to terms with his mortality in this fallen world, in a story loosely based on Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Ivan Beckman (Danny Huston), a hot-shot talent agent at the powerful Media Talent Agency, unexpectedly dies, and soon his colleagues are scrambling among themselves over the shards of Ivan's leftover business, with Barry Oaks (Adam Krentzman) eager to take over representation of Don West (Peter Weller), a major star Ivan signed shortly before his death. Everyone assumes that Ivan died of a drug overdose, but as viewers watch his last few days in flashback, they learn that Ivan was diagnosed with a severe case of lung cancer as he was trying to put together a deal with firebrand director Danny McTeague (James Merendino), actress Constanza Vero (Valeria Golino), and West. As the dynamic businessman is forced to confront his mortality, he is dragged into a binge of booze, drugs, and women with West, while he also tries to decide how to confront his family and his girlfriend Charlotte (Lisa Enos) with the grim news about his health. Ivansxtc. (To Live and Die in Hollywood) was shot using digital video equipment and a skeleton crew -- according to Rose, a reaction in part to studio interference over his 1997 adaptation of another Tolstoy work, Anna Karenina. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Emergency NumbersPhone Book (Must be on-campus or have a valid network account)
Jacquelyn Wegmann
Year of Graduation: 2008
Major: Economics
Current Position: Financial Analyst
Please give a brief description of your current position and where you're working.
I'm a Financial Analyst at IBM in Rochester, MN. The "Financial Analyst" title covers a wide range of job roles, and in my 3 1/2 years at IBM I've actually had three very different roles. In my current role I work in Pricing Methodology for North America. When a client comes to IBM for us to do some consulting work or to create a business solution, I help price out the solution to ensure that the deal is both acceptable to the client and profitable for IBM. This role also involves monitoring exchange rates (since IBM is a global business), and doing other analytical work on deals after they've been signed.
What path did you follow to arrive at your current job?
During the fall semester of my junior year at St. Ben's, I found a six month internship at IBM through the Career Resource Center. I completed the internship during the summer/fall semester of my senior year, and was offered a full time job upon graduation.
What skills are important in your field?
The most important skill is probably the ability to look at mass amounts of data without feeling overwhelmed! I use Excel on a daily basis, so any spreadsheet manipulation skills are helpful. Attention to detail and good communication skills are also key. Whether on the phone, through email, or in an instant message, you need to be able to ask clear questions and provide clear responses. Some new hires will come in apparently not realizing that the style used to write a business email is different than the style used while writing an email to a friend, which can be problematic.
What activities/experiences were helpful at CSB/SJU (and elsewhere) in preparation for this career?
Some of my Econ classes, such as Econ 334, were key in helping me learn how to handle huge spreadsheets full of data, and all of them helped me develop the type of analytical thinking that a Financial Analyst role requires. The fact that I studied abroad while at CSB/SJU has also been beneficial. I talk to IBMers in other countries on a regular basis, and my study abroad experience has made me more empathetic to the fact that every country has its own business/culture norms, which might be very different to the business/culture norms in the United States.
What is the most satisfying/rewarding part of your job?
I like investigating and digging into issues to solve problems. Nothing's better than that "ah-ha!" moment when you've finally figured out the solution to something.

In all my reading this week, there wasn't one sentence that seemed worthy of being named "quote of the week." So I thought it would be fun to do another game. This one is similar to a quote game we played earlier in the month.
These are the rules: Grab the book nearest you right now. Post the first sentence of the story, along with the book's title and author, as a comment. Remember to use the closest book.
My husband and I used to play this game at Barnes and Noble. We would randomly pull books from the shelves and see who could find the best first line, which is, of course, a true indicator of a book's worth.
Here's my submission:
"Keith, the boy in the rumpled shorts and shirt, did not know he was being watched as he entered Room 215 of the Mountain View Inn." ~ "The Mouse and the Motorcycle," by Beverly Cleary

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
11 News is asking local investigators if the man accused of abducting a child in Wyoming is linked to other crimes in Southern Colorado.
39 year old Jesse Speer has several connections to our area. We checked county records and confirmed that his wife at one time owned a house in Colorado Springs.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says they contacted police in Cody, Wyoming. They say from their investigation so far they do not think Jesse Speer is connected to other kidnapping or attempted kidnapping cases here in Southern Colorado but they're still looking into it.
11 News stopped by the house listed for Jesse Speer's parents in Colorado Springs but the woman who answered the door said she had no comment.
Speer is accused of forcing an 11 year old girl into his SUV and sexually assaulting her, then dropping her off on the side of a dirt road in Cody, Wyoming.
A woman who claims she is Speer's ex-wife posted a blog addressing the situation. She writes that she's in shock over this. She says she has two kids with the suspect and that now her main job is to protect their children who love their dad very much. She goes go on to say if he has done this, he has hurt an awful lot of people.
Cody, Wyoming police say surveillance video played a key role in capturing the suspect. 11 News previously showed a picture of his SUV taken from the town's surveillance cameras. Apparently police found video from Yellowstone National Park which revealed the suspect's license plate number.
Jesse Speer was arrested over the weekend in Montana, where he lives. He can't bond out of jail until he's extradited to Cody, Wyoming. That's expected to happen in the next 30 days.

Interior Design Bingo
To kick off my Interior Design blog I decided to create a fun game to help me (and hopefully you) find interior design inspiration in everyday life. Whether it's a cool door at a local restuarant or an adorable room your friend designed for her baby girl, you can find desing inspiration anywhere.
Unlike the photo challenges, I've participated in, I decided to lay this challenge out as more of a BINGO idea, because I know finding some of these things may be more difficult. You can find a few in one day or go an whole day without finding any. Just take a picture and post it to your blog. The goal is to find all 30 in 30 days. I hope you'll participate with me! Please comment below if you are so I can link to your blogs.
How to play:
1 – Don't worry, you're not meant to find ALL these in your own home. It's meant to help us become more aware of the designs in all the spaces we're in – restaurants, shops, friend's homes, offices etc.
2 – On Tuesday, the start of the challenge, I'll define a few of these more "interior designy" terms. If you have something specific you'd like me to define, please tell me in the comments below :)
3 - It's not a competition, just a challenge, you have 30 days to get all 30. Just have fun.

Since Noonan has had surgery affecting his right femoral artery before, a vascular surgeon gets the ball rolling, to ensure the artery is hearty enough to stand up to an inserted catheter. It is. Within two hours, the surgical team, under Makkar's direction, has slipped the new valve into place, and expanded it to fit the opening of the aorta, pressing the leaves of Noonan's faulty valve to the vessel walls. The catheters come out, and Noonan is taken to intensive care. He is walking and cracking jokes within a day, and by Wednesday, he is well enough to go home. With open-heart surgery, his hospital stay would have lasted more than a week.
Tuesday's valve repair requires more working room than the sliver of space provided by a catheter. So surgeons turn to the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic innovation whose slender tools and 360-degree action can outmaneuver even the most adept human hands. The da Vinci has found its way into more than 1,700 hospitals worldwide since 2000, when the FDA gave it a green light. Cedars-Sinai surgeons have been using the system since 2004, controlling the cutting and suturing from a console at one side of the OR while robotic arms follow their commands, without so much as a tremor, at the table.
Today's problem: Betty Trusel's mitral valve, whose job is to regulate the flow of oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium down to the left ventricle, where it is then pumped out to the rest of the body. Her valve doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak back into the atrium. Trusel, 85, has known about her valve problem for years, but found it didn't interfere much with her life at home in Los Angeles, where she worked until March with individual clients as a hair and makeup artist after a long career at MGM Studios. But lately it has become increasingly difficult to breathe.
Again, a mitral valve repair usually would be an open-heart surgery. But Alfredo Trento, director of cardiothoracic surgery, has thought it best to avoid the trauma, given Trusel's age. In the OR, a 2-inch-long incision is cut into the right side of Trusel's chest, the opening stretched wide. Through her ribs, the doctors insert instruments and a camera aimed toward the heart. Trusel's heart must be completely still while it's worked on, so the surgical team plugs the heart-lung machine into the vessels coming and going, temporarily diverting the blood flow. They inject her with a potassium solution that stops her heart for 30 minutes at a time.
[See Best Heart-Healthy Diets]
Trento sits at the da Vinci console about 10 feet away, grabs the machine's controls, and looks into binocular eyepieces to access the inserted camera and see the heart in 3-D. He knows from Trusel's echocardiogram that her mitral valve is floppy, but when he sees it on the screen, he is troubled by its large size. "Let me see what I can do," he says, moving the controllers as robot-held scissors and clamps cut and remove the extra mitral valve tissue, snipping heart strings known as chordae tendineae that connect the valve to the heart ventricle wall.
Before he fixes the leaky valve by tightening the remaining tissue with permanent sutures, Trento addresses another problem, Trusel's irregular heartbeat. He applies a frosty wand containing liquid nitrous oxide at minus 75 degrees Celsius to her heart tissue. The extreme freeze kills off cardiac cells in a complex pattern, forcing beat-inducing electrical signals to move in an orderly fashion rather than the chaotic paths that cause the irregularity.
Two days after surgery, Trusel is wearing makeup and walking around the intensive care unit with her nurse for exercise, clearly no longer troubled by a lack of oxygen. In fact, she takes her laps so quickly the nurse repeatedly urges her to slow down.

At depositions, do you find yourself trying not to stare at the court reporter's tits? I sure do and it's just so very distracting... hard to take an effective depo
it's uncanny how 99.5% of all court reporters privately employed could double as strippers
When the Author walks onto the stage, the play is over.

hey guys- so i have some questions about pumps, and the definitions that may differ between people
so, why are pumps desirable? what health/performance benefits, if any, do pumps give you?
why might they not be desirable?
if someone is mainly looking for athletic/functional performance, are pumps something they may want?
this was brought on by reading threads about hemavol being a great pre-workout for energy, and also giving insane pumps? im not sure i understand because i thought having too many pumps decreases function, in that the muscles are too swollen to perform correctly. but i like the idea of a non-stim pre-workout that gives a lot of energy.
how could i get this non-stim energy without the debilitating pumps?

DODGEVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- Eight people have been taken to a hospital in Dodgeville after suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Police say officers were called to a home just before midnight Thursday on a report of someone having a seizure. When police arrived they found the residents, including five children, were experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Eight people were taken to Upland Hills Hospital, including the officer first on the scene who assisted the others.
Authorities say carbon monoxide apparently was released in the house because a bird's nest was blocking an outside air intake.

Dating & Single Living
Also have a detailed profile in what you're looking for and also what you're NOT looking for. This will almost completely tell you if she's compatible with you and vice versa. Then you can exchange an email or two and then move to a coffee meet or something to get things really moving.
And, I am going to tell you after you make that detailed list, read it once, then tear it into a jillion pieces, because I bet, just bet the one you actually fall for will be completely off the mark :-). . .I know from experience God often has very different ideas about what you need and don't need LOL. Not saying you shouldn't have some deal breakers like having to have their steak charbroiled or being an active ninja assassin or something but otherwise just get to know people and you'll know.
I had a list once. . .and what I learned no matter how well you think you stuck to the list. . .there are always other unforeseen problems to navigate and negotiate. A good marriage isn't perfect, it is perfectly imperfect. A great spouse is your imperfectly perfect complement, who makes your world right and complete just by wrapping their arms and legs around you in the quiet darkness of the night. ..and then snores in your ear or drools on your shoulder. :-) And, I only partly jest.
After taking a break from the dating world for about a year, I have come back with renewed energy and a new perspective. I hope I can say honestly that I have a better understanding of what really matters in a partner, and I definitely feel like faith is critical. I have had little success in the past with other dating sites, and so I hope my faith can lead me to meet a great Catholic woman.
But still, I feel like I come across too strong too early, have little to talk about (I really have simple tastes) and I can never tell what I should say if or how to continue a conversation (or even WHEN or HOW to continue a courtship through the internet). I feel much more natural in person.....but sometimes you just end up talking to people far away.
Can you guys give me some rules of thumb for this? Is one message a day a good starting point? Should I be the driving force in going from messages to chatting to phone calls? All help is appreciated!
Not sure what you mean by coming on too strong, but showing interest may be a welcome relief for the women you contact! Asking interesting questions about the woman, asking her to elaborate on her profile, about her interests will all show her that you are not self-focused and are truly interested in knowing her. One message a day is a good starting point. It would also be nice if you suggest the next step in regard to communication - but wait until she appears to trust you. Good luck!
Thanks for reminding Jeffrey to also talk about HER interests. He seems to have it together and is much more aware than men twice his age.
I'll bet he won't be using this site long because he definitely will see success in his future!
Lol talking about her interests is basic common sense in getting to know someone. This goes back to the part where I mentioned both parties should have a detailed profile. But if she doesn't then all the more reason to talk about her interests.

I agree with Kristen on the one post a day or so, but if you are not going to be on every day then say that up front, so no one is left to wonder, it isn't very nice.
Jeffrey, I've found that reading the forums and emailing that person directly is a great way to start a conversation. It is more personal--and it shows the person is actually a member. I have started to create some really terrific friendships with some other CM members.
I've also asked if I can pray with/for the person. This is my personal gift--intercessory prayer--yet I have found it allows for God to truly be available to your conversations. If someone is uncomfortable with my prayers--that is completely ok. It may be seen as a great way to potentially screen others.
Best wishes for you as you find your future partner!
There is nothing more appealing to woman than a man who confidently pursues what he is looking for with a noble heart and a focused mind. This is true on the street and online. I think if you focus on being the man you want to be, you will find the woman for you. That means if you want to be the leader in the family, then lead now by initiating conversation, making suggestions along the way about the pacing and letting her know where you see things going (not too far ahead, but the next step.) For example, if you send her a brief introductory email-- "Hello____, Hope you are well. I enjoyed reading your profile and viewing your pictures. I found ___________ especially interesting. I would like to know more about you."etc.-- make sure you make it clear that you want to hear from her and let her know when to expect to hear from you.
One of the classiest things a former boyfriend did each step along the way in our relationship was to "formally ask" me when he wanted to step things up. He "formally asked" for my phone number, for a first date, to kiss me, and to be his girlfriend. He lead each step of the way, and left the choice up to me.
Now if you don't want to be the leader, and you'd rather that she take initiative and call all the shots, sit back and wait for her to contact you. Or I suppose you could "drop a hankie" in an emote.
But for some reason, I think you are more likely to embrace the former approach.
... If you want, you can send an email saying,
I am sorry that after our X exchanges of messages
on here that you appear to no longer wish to communicate, ...
- but be sure to change
to the actual number of exchanges to
demonstrate that you've been paying attention.

SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor-Csharp - Wiki
This application monitors a phone using a Jtapi connection and displays a message in the console for all Jtapi events.
Create the Application project#
1. Open a command shell
2. The cuae requires at a minimum the name of the application project, the implementation language and the module name in the java to get started. If the language and or the module name are omitted the tool will prompt the you for them. Lets use the cuae tool to create a new application.
cuae create SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor
3. First the tool will ask you if you are building an application or a plugin. Answer application:
Project Type? [application or plugin] application
4. Next the tool will ask you to specify the programming language. Answer csharp:
Programming language? [java or csharp] csharp
5. Next the tool will ask you for the namespace for the application. You can provide a name or accept the default. Let's accept the default for this sample application SimpleIpPhoneMenuTree:
Project namespace? [default: simplejtapiphonemonitor ] <Return>
6. Finally the tool will ask if you would like to specify a triggering event. All CUAE applications will need to register against at least one triggering event. You can specify the triggering event now or wait and specify the triggering event later. You can also change the triggering event during development. Again since we know that this application needs to be triggered on an Http request, lets go ahead and specify the triggering event now. Select cisco.uc.cuae.JTapi.JTapiCallInitiated (option 3):
Available application triggering event:0: Skip this step 1: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.ApplicationControl.StaticConstruction 2: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.JTapi.JTapiIncomingCall 3: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.JTapi.JTapiCallInitiated 4: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.JTapi.JTapiCallEstablished 5: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.CallControl.IncomingCall 6: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.Http.GotRequest 7: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.Presence.SubscriptionTerminated 8: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.Presence.Notify 9: cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.TimerFacility.TimerFire Triggering event? [0-9] 3}}}
The tool now has enough information to generate the project template.
- application named "SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor"
- with namespace "simplejtapiphonemonitor"
- with laguage "csharp"
- with trigger event "cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.JTapi.JTapiCallInitiated"
- in location C:\workspace\
Created project "SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor" in directory "C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\"}}}
Mixin services#
The first step in building an Etch-based CUAE application is identifying which services the application requires and updating the .etch file to mixin those services into the application. For this application we will want to service an JTapi events. The default etch file already has a mixin for Jtapias we selected it as the triggering event:
mixin cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.JTapi
Generate Sources - MSBuild#
To generate the source file templates for this application, enter the following command from the application directory
SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor> msbuild
Making a connection to the listener#
Two items need to be done inside main() function to enable the client application register to the CUAE server. First, call server.registerApplication() to do the actual registration.
Write the following code after the line " TODO: Insert Your Code Here"
string key = server.registerApplication( "SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor", "Default", "<username>", "<password>" );Console.WriteLine( " CUAE application registered with key : " + key ); Console.WriteLine( "Hit any key to exit" ); Console.ReadLine();}}}
Code Sample#
public static void Main(String[] args){ TODO: Change to correct URIstring uri = "tcp://localhost:4001"; RemoteSimpleJtapiPhoneMonitorServer server = SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitorHelper.NewServer( uri, null, new MainSimpleJtapiPhoneMonitorClient());
Connect to the serviceserver._StartAndWaitUp( 4000 );
TODO: Insert Your Code Here
Disconnect from the serviceserver._StopAndWaitDown( 4000 ); } }}}
Then, modify the String URI to match the IP address and port of the Cisco Unified Application Server
URI settings vary slightly between 2.5(1) Beta 1 and more recent versions of 2.5(1), as follows:
2.5(1) and 2.5(1) Beta 2, Beta 3, Beta 4 & later releases#
// TODO Change to correct URIString uri = "tls://appserver_ipaddress:9000?TlsConnection.authReqd=false&filter=KeepAlive &KeepAlive.Count=5&Packetizer.maxPktSize=102400&TcpTransport.reconnectDelay=4000";}}}
Note: In Beta 2, the Etch Bridge was updated to use Transport Layer Securityfor encryption by default. For your applications to work, you must specify TLS as the protocol in the URI and set the authReqd parameter to false. In the example above, the KeepAlive filter and Max Packet Size and Reconnect Delay parameters have also been set.
2.5(1) Beta 1#
// TODO Change to correct URIString uri = "tcp://appserver_ipaddress:9000?&TcpConnection.reconnect_delay=4000";}}}
Note: In addition to setting the correct IP address and port for the Cisco Unfied Application Server, the Reconnect Delay parameter should be set on all connection URIs.
Servicing incoming triggering event#
We need to call a number of specific function to service incoming JTapi events.
Code Sample#
// TODO: Implement delegates or provide implementation of server
public override void jTapiCallInitiated(string sessionId, JTapiCallInitiatedOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call Initiated\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiCallInitiated Event \n\n"); }
public override void jTapiCallActive(string sessionId, JTapiCallActiveOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call Active\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiCallActive Event \n" + " Call made to: " + options.to + " \n\n"); }
public override void jTapiCallInactive(string sessionId, JTapiCallInactiveOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call Inactive\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiCallInactive Event \n\n"); } public override void jTapiHangupCall(string sessionId, JTapiHangupCallOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call Hangup\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiHangup Event \n\n"); } public override void jTapiGotDigits(string sessionId, JTapiGotDigitsOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call GotDigits\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiGotDigits Event \n" + " Digit(s): " + options.digits + " From Device: " + options.deviceName + " \n\n"); }
public override void jTapiIncomingCall(string sessionId, JTapiIncomingCallOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Incoming call\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received OnJTapiIncomingCall Event from " + "phone: " + options.from + " \n\n");
server.makeCall(sessionId, "100299", "", "", null);
public override void onMakeCallComplete(string sessionId, cisco.uc.cuae.legacy.types.CallControl.MakeCallResult results, object state) {
public override void jTapiCallEstablished(string sessionId, JTapiCallEstablishedOptions options) { server.logWrite(LogLevel.INFO, "Call Established\n\n SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor Received CallEstablished event \n\n"); } }}}
Packaging The Test Application#
- Execute a successful build request for you test applcation within your IDE.
- To package the application, run execute the "cuae package" command from a DOS command shell in test application parent directory of the test application.
C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor>cuae packageCreated package file "C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\bin\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor.mca"}}}
Installing The Test Application#
- To install the test application on a CUAE server, execute the cuae install command from a DOS command shell in test application parent directory of the test application. The cuae install command varies slightly between 2.5(1) Beta 1 and Beta 2.
2.5(1) Beta 2#
You are prompted to enter an IP address, username, and password (to view the help, run the cuae install -h command). When prompted, enter Y or N to save management settings. This will save the answers to the above three questions in the properties file and remember them the next time you go to install.
Note: You are also prompted for the communications protocol (TCP or TLS). Select the protocol that is set on the Management Service. TLS is the default supported protocol. If you want to use TCP, follow the instructions in Management Service Transport Layer Security (TLS) to change the default URI of the Management Service before running these commands.
C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor>cuae packageCreated package file "C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\bin\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor.mca"
C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor>cuae install Enter the hostname or IP address of the management service (for example: localhost, 220.127.116.11): localhost Protocol: tls Generated mgmt-service uri: tls://localhost:9001?TlsConnection.authReqd=false Enter management service login username: Entermanagement service login password: Save the amanagement settings with the project? [yes or no] n Application : C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\bin\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor.mca Uploading : ===========================> 100% Application has been installed successfully}}}
2.5(1) Beta 1#
You are prompted to enter an IP address, username, and password (to view the help, run the cuae install -h command). When prompted, enter Y or N to save management settings. This will save the answers to the above three questions in the properties file and remember them the next time you go to install.
C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor>cuae packageCreated package file "C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\bin\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor.mca"

[YyNn] n Application : C:\workspace\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor\bin\SimpleJtapiPhoneMonitor.mca Uploading : ===========================> 100% Application ahas been installed successfully}}}
Executing the application#
Once the client application is installed on the server, and the service is pointing to the CUAE server, the client application can be invoked. Once the client application is invoked (through console or from within your IDE), it is ready to service the incoming triggers from the CUAE server. Since this is a jtapi monitoring application, the test phone needs to be added to monitord device pool under the telephony Manager section of cuaeadmin console page. App Server logs will show the details of various jtapi events being generated with the monitored phone.
