MSF Increases Assistance to Villages Cut Off By EarthquakeOctober 18, 2005Destroyed roads, mountainous terrain, harsh weather conditions, and injured people spread across large swathes of land are all factors making it extremely difficult to reach the tens of thousands of people affected by the October 8 earthquake that devastated Pakistan and parts of Indian-administered Kashmir. Medical and relief supplies have reached only a fraction of the people in need. When Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical teams have been able to reach isolated areas the aid workers are finding thousands of people with severe wounds, including fractures, spinal cord injuries, lacerations, and infections. They have found that many health-care structures were destroyed, which makes setting up temporary facilities a critical priority. Tens of thousands of people are sleeping outside with little or no shelter from the cold and rain. And winter is fast approaching in these mountainous areas.
MSF is increasing its aid operations to remote villages that have been cut off by landslides and buckled roads in Pakistan. MSF is currently assisting thousands of people in 16 locations in Pakistan, but many people still remain out of reach and in desperate need of assistance. MSF medical teams are traveling by helicopter, vehicle, and foot to reach more locations each day. MSF teams are seeing hundreds of patients every day and focusing on treating infected wounds and fractures. The organization also is increasing its capacity to provide surgical care, ability to treats earthquake victims with "crush syndrome" (see last paragraph), and provide mental health support to traumatized people. Distribution of thousands of blankets and shelter items continues while the first winterized tents have arrived in the affected area. Currently, 120 international staff including doctors, nurses, surgeons, kidney specialists, psychologists, social workers, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts as well as flight transport specialists together with about 40 local staff are working in MSF's earthquake relief operations in Pakistan. In addition, MSF teams in Indian-administered Kashmir are giving mental health support, provide medical, and logistical items to hospitals and distribute relief goods. By now, MSF has brought a total of about 400 metric tons of relief goods into Pakistan including medical supplies (emergency medical kits, drugs, surgical material, dressings, plaster, dialysis machines, high-protein food, and oral re-hydration solution), logistical materials (water tanks, pumps and water treatment units), and shelter materials (about 70,000 blankets, 10,000 sleeping mats, and 1,200 winterized tents). Additional relief items such as hygiene and cooking kits are being purchased locally. ACTIVITIES IN PAKISTANIn and around Muzaffarabad:Mobile teams reach out to several villages in a perimeter of about 15 km around Muzaffarabad. Since impassible roads often have blocked access to victims, the three- or four-person teams set out by foot. One team was heading towards Garhi Dopatta, a village that was cut off from medical aid since the earthquake struck, and treated patients there as well as any injured they saw on their way. Yesterday, the team reached Kumikot and found a lot of injured patients without any previous treatment.
MSF also is treating wounded in the village of Rapayan. A helicopter had dropped a medical team in that otherwise inaccessible village on Monday. Charakpura to the south of Muzaffarabad is accessible by road and reached by a mobile team on a daily basis. Mental health support also will be offered to earthquake survivors in Charakpura. In Muzaffarabad, where roughly 1,000 homeless people have gathered in a tented camp in the university campus, MSF offers psychosocial counseling. Since the start of the program on Friday, several hundred survivors have shared their stories with the two MSF mental-health experts during individual or group counseling. MSF distributes thousands of tents, mats, blankets as well as plastic sheeting to the enormous number of people who are sleeping in the open. MSF logisticians improve water-and-sanitation facilities in the campus area as well as in Abbas hospital and by now provide chlorinated drinking water for truck distribution. Upper Jhelum and Neighboring ValleysAfter reinforcement in terms of staff and medical material by helicopter, MSF continues to provide medical care to wounded people in Hattian, and has sent out two nurses and a mental health expert to Goharabad, a settlement on the opposite side of the Jhelum valley. The team in Lamnian further north continues to treat more than a hundred patients per day in an outpatient facility. The majority of patients have open fractures and necrotic wounds. Some patients have old dressings that require urgent follow up. The severely injured are medically stabilized and evacuated by helicopter. Many people come from surrounding higher areas to receive medical care since MSF is there. Besides medical material such as additional dressings and anesthetics, a helicopter brought an additional thousand blankets to Lamnian, where distribution of relief items is ongoing. Meanwhile, two doctors, one nurse, and a logistician took a helicopter to Kaj Manja further northwest.
In and around Bagh:MSF teams are treating patients in two outpatient facilities in Bagh. This town, which lies to the southwest of Muzaffarabad, was badly affected by the earthquake and about 90 percent of buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged. Medical capacity in Bagh needs to be increased urgently as it is estimated that the area includes Bagh's population of about 60,000 plus thousands of people living in the densely populated valley. That is why MSF has set up a field hospital on the grounds of the collapsed district hospital. Two huge tents are assembled in order to accommodate outpatient and inpatient departments as well as a surgical unit. Another team provides basic health care in Bir Pani. The devastation in that village about 15 kilometers north of Bagh is enormous. In and around Mansehra:To the northeast of Mansehra, two teams of three persons each have treated patients in Kawai and Kargan. Both villages can only be reached by helicopter. A team of six is has set up a health structure in Batagran and started treating patients today. The hospital in Mansehra is considerably damaged and is getting support from an MSF team. Two 80-square meter MSF tents provide cleaner and larger accommodations to patients and relieve pressure from the wards. MSF logisticians are setting up latrines as well as a water system with a total storage capacity of 15,000 liters. Islamabad:A team of nephrologists (kidney specialists) treats victims with "crush syndrome" in the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad's major hospital where hundreds of severely injured earthquake victims have been brought. Crush syndrome is a condition in which muscle tissue damaged by severe internal injury can release massive quantities of toxins into the bloodstream and lead to kidney failure. MSF flew in four dialysis machines and medicines needed to treat the syndrome. Left untreated, crush syndrome can be fatal. The pediatric ward, completely overburdened with mainly severely injured patients is getting support from an MSF surgeon, a pediatrician, and a psychologist. Another psychologist is giving psychosocial support to patients that are provisionally accommodated in the dressing rooms of a sports stadium. ACTIVITIES IN INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIRDoctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are continuing to work in Srinagar, Tangdor, and Uri in Indian-administered Kashmir. Relief in TangdorMSF is supporting 3,000 families with tents and other shelter material. MSF aid workers are hiking for two to four hours to reach affected villages. Mobile medical team are providing basic supplies and redressing wounds. Psychosocial teams are doing outreach to communities and offering counseling. Relief in UriMSF is supporting 500 families with tents and other shelter material. One mobile medical team is redressing wounds and performing other consultations while a psychosocial team is visiting communities to access mental health-care needs. Medical Support in Srinagar HospitalsMSF has distributed medical supplies including surgical equipment and antibiotics to emergency wards in Srinagar hospitals where the most severely injured were treated. MSF is continuing to provide psychosocial support to victims of the earthquake including orphans and unaccompanied family members. MSF has provided trauma counseling to 700 injured people in the hospitals in Srinagar through 24-hour counseling activities in the medical wards. In addition to the trauma counseling, MSF has referred orphans to orphanages, helped reunite separated families, and advocated for the establishment of a relief center by the government, which was opened on October 17. In the total so far, MSF has distributed 10,000 blankets, 10,000 jackets, 13,200 bottles of water, 700 tents, shelter materials for another 700 shelters, kitchen utensils for 3,000 families, and medical and food supplies.

hey hey
specifically the survive badges. :/
I cannot seem to unlock the survive badges for no rewinds and no armor.
Survive first run - unlocked ok
Survive 2 runs - unlocked after 3rd run
Survive 4 runs....
Ive survived more than enough runs with no gear and no rewinds but the badge just refuses to unlock. Any ideas ?
all runs have been different drops
tried different characters
rebooted and retried runs
Tried different type of runs
all done in explore mode
I have the trophies for a few of the no gear deadly descents too
many thanks in adfvance
on 19-03-2012 06:29 PM
on 19-03-2012 06:43 PM
Yeah, you have to do 4 runs in a row on the same drop.
Easiest one to do it on is probably Broken Elbow.
on 19-03-2012 07:45 PM
many thanks guys
I must have been in n00b mode for the last few days.
Same drop, multi run... kinda makes sense when you read it properly.

Towards the end of March, we caught a glimpse of a yet to be named high-end custom-designed Radeon HD 4890 accelerator from ASUS. The accelerator makes use of an exotic VRM design to facilitate high clock speeds and overclocking potential. Back then, we couldn't get pictures of what cooled the beast. Thankfully, NordicHardware has a few pictures of the cooler, along with more details in place. The cooler is a complex piece of engineering. It consists of a central copper GPU contact base from which six 230 mm long copper heatpipes distribute heat between the GPU and VRM areas, which have large heatsinks of their own. Two fans of dissimilar sizes are suspended on the shroud. The larger one, over the GPU, rotates clockwise, while the other counterclockwise. Looking at ASUS' design methods with high-end cards, we can safely guess the fans are controlled by a complex controller that adjusts fan speeds on a per-fan basis, depending on the temperatures of the various zones of this card. From what the source tells, this cooler should run the card at least 10 °C cooler than what the reference cooler manages. This may facilitate stock clock speeds in excess of 900 MHz for the core, and 1000 MHz for the memory. Some credit of the electrical stability of the core at those speeds goes to the use of the Fujitsu-made SuperML capacitor, that reduces voltage noise by as much as 20% (from 143mV to 114mV). Regarding the exact brand name of this card, we can confirm that the card will not carry the "MATRIX" branding. The other high-end term ASUS uses, "TOP", has already been used for a factory-overclocked reference design accelerator, leaving the brand name yet to be disclosed. Source: NordicHardware
Omg ASUS.. I think have got this one right .... ?? i read some articles some time ago abt this card ..... it's expected to OC easily to 1000 .... i hope the prices are reasonable .... and ..damn the card looks awesome ... and the only bad thing abt is that it's powered by 6-pin + 8-pin setup...
looks like one fan blowing exhaust and the smaller fan for the vregs circulating within the case? interesting.
Hey just look at the PCB layout .... it's easy to figure out that's a 6-pin + 8-pin setup .... as far as I can remember the preview stated it's a 6+8 pin setup.... http://www.techpowerup.com/88973/ASUS_Preparing_High-End_Non-Reference_HD_4890_Accelerator.html
Oooh, matches the colour scheme I'm going for, for my case, but I still can't justify buying one over my 4870 1GB :\
right right, I forgot currently 4890 is 6+6 not 6+8 so in my mind I said "well the power is better than ref"
I really like it. Interesting to note on the heatpipes. Most have them curve out and into the fins. These run straight from the base and release heat along the way up into the fins.
Why do the non-reference cards have lesser components that ati reference cards ? reference HD4890 is a myriad of components on the back side with hardly any free space, while this card has a lot less.
The ML Capacitor you see replaces several smaller capacitors. On its business end, the PCB is the same as the reference PCB. Compare this to any reference PCB. You'll see it's identical (except ofc the colour):
ya the pcb is reference, it has the markings for reference cooler shape. what is the ML capacitor you talk about ? is this one capacitor cheaper than several smaller ones ?
That rectangular thing with "Fujitsu". That itself is like $25 a piece effectively. It's an expensive alternative.
$25 bucks for a"capacitor, that reduces voltage noise by as much as 20%" would be well worth it ..IF the retail $$$$ are in line
Now this guy has taste lol, I love the Sapphire and IceQ coolers Cooler looks nice, I prefer blue though. I would get a 4890 as it's only a tenner more than a 1GB 4870 Vapor-X I'm planning to buy, but the stock coolers suck big time and no doubt the 4890s with custom coolers will be a lot more expensive
That's nice, wondering if they include voltage mod thingy so you can push it further past 1GHz core. The cooler look like it might be able to reach such clock or not.
Me to, I went 2x3870 CF for budget reasons when there was talk of the RV790 and it was a blessing in disguise. I'll definitely go 2x4890 CF later this year...I like what I see and hear!

- High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life
- Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany
A Complete Solution
The CMD Studio 4A provides all the tools needed to learn the basics of DJing – or to work the dance floor into a virtual frenzy. This is no crippled budget controller; Studio 4A has the very same features you'll find on the bigger, more expensive controllers. And the Studio 4A not only includes those features – it actually improves on them.Full-Sized Faders
Find yourself disappointed when you get in front of a DJ controller and see those tiny little faders? We feel the same way. Tiny pitch faders just feel wrong, so we broke out 100 mm faders for Studio 4A's pitch controls. 60 mm channel faders translate into smoother mixes, so we added those as well. Those sizes are an industry standard for a reason, right?Large Platters
Another area where most controllers fall short is platter size. The trend is smaller and smaller platters, in an effort to knock the overall size of the controller down. We say bigger is better, so the Studio 4A packs 6" touch sensitive platters that work the way you've come to expect coming from industry standard equipment. After the faders, the platter is your main contact point on a controller – shrinking that down to a tiny little rubber disc just isn't satisfying.Built In Audio Interface
So you buy a controller and get it home, only to find out that you have to go right back out and buy a soundcard? We built a 4-out USB sound card into the Studio 4A, so you're ready to go right-out-of-the-box. This high-quality audio interface has 24-bit converters and provides ultra-low latency operation in either Windows or OS X.Keep Your Eyes off the Screen
No one wants to look up at the DJ and see him looking at his computer screen like he's updating his Facebook page. And as a DJ, you don't want to be forced to constantly look at the computer instead of reading your crowd. The CMD Studio 4A addresses this by incorporating plenty of MIDI feedback. That means that if a button is lit in your software, it's also lit up on the Studio 4A.It's the Little Things
It's easy to get the big stuff right, but it's the little things that usually slip through the cracks. Modern DJ software typically has between 5 and 8 hotcues, yet many controllers in the market only have 3. The Studio 4A has 8 hotcue buttons. Most DJ software is capable of running 4 or more virtual decks, so the Studio 4A can control up to 4 virtual decks. The same goes for other features, like library navigation, looping controls, EQ kills, keylock, and much more.The CMD Studio 4A gives you full control of your software and doesn't leave off those "little" features like our competitors often do. And we manage to pull this off while offering the CMD Studio 4A at a price that's much lower than the other guys.
When you combine this type of value with BEHRINGER's extensive warranty program, you have a monster DJ solution, no matter your experience level or application.
All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. * Traktor, Scratch Live and Ableton Live software not included.
"Offering excellent value for money, the spacious Behringer CMD Studio 4A digital DJ controller has lots of LED feedback, a decent built-in audio interface and plenty of hot cues. It lacks gain and mic though, and has average jogwheel performance with the supplied Deckadance LE software, so it's not a resounding winner - but still, it's hard to fault it for the price."
"The long awaited and highly anticipated Behringer CMD controllers have finally arrived at our offices, and we got a chance to take them for a test drive. We immediately set our sights on the Behringer CMD Studio 4a as this has been the most talked about DJ controller in the line. Its a four deck DJ controller that comes with an access code to download the new DJ software from Image Line, Deckadance 2. We have reported extensively on the updates and changes to the CMD line since we first saw it back in January of 2012."

This means absolutely no commentary or feedback in someone's sales thread. Seriously, if you stomp on someone's ad, your account can and will be locked. The only exception to this is in the Custom Knife Exchange areas (if the maker/craftsman requests and welcomes feedback)
- Malicious Buyers will be permanently banned from the forums. If you have a problem being honest, upfront, and are unable to honor your word then you do not belong here.
- If you must back out of a deal, it is YOUR responsibility to communicate with the other person WHY you are unable to complete the transaction. Make sure this happens BEFORE any money or items have been exchanged. Problems should be attempted to be resolved between the persons involved.

- Thread titles must be accurate and descriptive.

- Do not get caught with a secondary or shill account. Both accounts will be banned and no refund will be issued.
- Please indicate in the original post after the item has been sold or traded. It'd be nice if you locked the thread too.
- You are not required to edit out, or leave in place, the original or final selling price. That is your prerogative.
- Consolidate your sales listings. Do not list single items in separate threads. This means 1 thread per day, per individual.

We will not tolerate people spamming threads.- REPOSTING / RELISTING: You must wait two (2) weeks (14 days) to relist items for sale after the first time they have been listed.

SECTION 4 - Rules for buyers
First, see section 2.2 above.
- Do not post in an ad unless you are interested in the item / service that is being offered.
- ABSOLUTELY NO COMMENTARY OR FEEDBACK IN SOMEONE'S THREAD. Seriously, if you stomp on someone's ad, your account can and will be locked.

SECTION 6 - Miscellaneous
- If any rules seem contradictory, the more stringent rules apply.
- WHEN IN DOUBT, ask the moderation staff.
- These forums operate on honesty and integrity. As such, we have a dim view of people who act dishonestly. Your actions in the community have consequences. Even if they happen elsewhere.
In order to curtail potential abuse of membership privileges associated with the forums, questions regarding valuation of knives and collections are limited to those with a membership level which permits selling on this site. Accordingly, registered and basic members may not start or post in threads with such requests whether with the intent to sell or for informational purposes only. This rule applies throughout the site.
As fakes and homage items are a legal gray area and obviously hurt the hobby, no fake or homage items may be sold on the Exchange. Members may not knowingly sell unlicensed knockoffs or counterfeit versions of knives (or any other goods) based upon the designs of their legitimate owner, manufacturer or custom maker. Additionally, members may not sell any knife or item known or suspected to be other than as described in terms of its lineage and authenticity.
Asking a member to click on a link, subscribe to a channel or website, provide feedback, donate money or goods, or Like a page on Facebook is considered solicitation. Our members should not be subjected to this type of spam especially under the guise that they may win something. Spark (Site Admin.) does occasionally authorize solicitations for carefully selected causes. Persons seeking such an exemption MUST apply to Spark and MUST wait to receive that authorization before making any such posts.

By Venita Jenkins Staff writer
The Cumberland County Education Foundation has changed its name to Community In Schools of Cumberland County.
The new name will help bring awareness of services for students, and the organization will no longer be confused with the Cumberland Community Foundation, officials said.
Officials will unveil the new name at an invitation-only launch event on Tuesday.
"Our board voted in June to forgo Cumberland County Education Foundation in hopes that it will create greater awareness of what we do," said Cindy Kowal, executive director. "The name, CIS, is self-explanatory. We bring the community into schools to help the kids and teachers."
The foundation, a community-based advocate for Cumberland County schools, has provided CIS programming since 2004. Last year, CIS served 8,200 Cumberland County students.
CIS is a national dropout prevention organization that connects students and their families to community resources.
The local organization will receive CIS national accreditation in November. One of the requirements for the accreditation is appropriate branding of the program, Kowal said.
Liza Shah, a member of the board of directors and chairwoman of the launch event, said the name change is a natural progression.
"The resources and the name recognition that it provides is beneficial to us locally," she said.
CIS of Cumberland County is working with Harvard Graduate School of Education on a five-year study on summer reading.
Also, CIS of Cumberland County received a technology grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for its Fuller Performance Learning Center High School, a non-traditional high school that integrates online and project-based curriculum. The school is in its sixth year.
"If it was not for Community in Schools, we would not have been on the radar of the Gates Foundation," she said. "They know Community In Schools does great work across the country. What we are doing really benefits one child at a time."

Inspiration can come from anywhere.
For Davis County native Charity Shumway, an assignment for Glamour magazine turned into her recently released debut novel, "Ten Girls to Watch." The author will be coming to the Centerville Branch of the Davis County Library on Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. to talk about her book and the effect she hopes it has on readers.
"It's a fun read, but I also want people to see there's something deeper," she said. "I hope they take heart in the fact that not everyone has an easy start, and that happiness and success comes in a lot of different forms."
Shumway grew up in Centerville and attended Viewmont High. She got the idea for the book when she was assigned to track down the past winners of Glamour Magazine's Top 10 College Women contest. After meeting the winners and seeing the lives they had led, she saw the potential for more than just an article.
"I spent nine months with all these amazing women, and I really wanted to do more with their stories," she said.

Young software guy just trying to learn as much as I can while helping people in the process. I've come a long way since I first registered for StackOverflow, but I've got a long road ahead of me. I love diving head-first into new technologies and learning through trial and error (though there tends to be much more of the latter).
Please bear with me if I ask trivial questions or give inaccurate answers - and don't be afraid to call me out on it (in a considerate way, hopefully); that's the only way I'll learn!

I wasn't sure that I was going to keep this skirt but decided to do so as I know that I will be relying on it in the spring, fall and even summer months.
It is very lightweight and falls in a flattering line.
I thought it was a bit pricey but it is wool, after all.

The blonde beauty, Layla Brown was a normal California beach girl enjoying simple things such as the sun, the beach, shopping, and playing music. She excelled in playing the piano and grew active in music concerts and contests. Her father was a normal gentlemen with a secret business deal with the wrong men.
Hiding in the attic as her father told her to, she heard the breaking of glass, the shot of a gun, a cry of pain and silence before mumbling happened between a few men. She could hear glass breaking again, and a thorough search going on in her house. Layla had no time to warn her mother since she left her phone down stairs. After thinking the men had left, she ran out to the front room to look out the window. Her mom was walking up the front door safely until the shot was sound and her mother went down. Covering her mouth from screaming, she looked to the side to see a car full of men. She memorized the license plate number and described the men in detail to the police. Her father was dealing with a horrible mob of men. And she had witnessed the murders and was ready to testify. But she can not testify if they find her and kill her...
Now the beach blonde beaty is under the witness protection program as the beautiful black hair mysterious Priscilla Gomez. Living in Anchorage, Alaska and leaving everyone with out warning. Living with strangers in a new home in the unfamiliar cold forced by the government to be a whole new person in a new world with a new life. Pretending her parents simply died in a fire accident and she managed out. Not even saying good bye, she must live on and hope not to be found.
The car ride with her "Aunt and Uncle" involved with the governments witness protection program picked up Priscilla from the airport and went over her cover story very thoroughly until she could repeat it by memory with out hesitation. It irritated her to no end by when she could memorize her story, they let her sit in silence. Alaska was cold... very different from her old LA Home. Being away from the sun and under protection made her tan fade. Now she was meant to be Priscilla Gomez, an edgy rocker living in Anchorage Alaska with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents died in a car accident in Ohio.
A tour of her small new house, a filling dinner that felt empty to her, and another round of her story with her guardians, before finally she was locked into her room to sleep for the night. It was a restless sleep but she woke up early in the morning for her first day of school. She wore her new black hair down and straight, and a new black dress with a leather jacket over to add some edge. Throwing on a pair of black combat boots with warming leggings, she put her makeup on, snagged a quick bite and was out the door with her "Uncle." The new look was not necessarily hard for her to grasp. She came from California where edgy style was all over. Due to her parents death, it was not hard to feel distant and angry. Making friends was not discouraged, getting close was though.
Pulling into her new school, she hopped out the car and let her uncle do the paper work as she was given her school schedule and a map to the school. Walking around aimlessly as curious stares glanced her way, she walked into room A28, met her teacher and took a seat in the back as she waited for the classroom to fill for the class to start. Everyone had their friends, had their cliques, and knew their way. She had never felt so awkard and distant untill now. Taking a deep breath, she waited silently just hoping for the day to go by quickly.

Keep the Washington Redskins Name
Recently the Mayor of D.C.,Vincent Gray stated the Washington Redskins organization must consider a name change if it is serious about moving from FedEx Field in Landover, Md., to a stadium inside D.C. proper. Redskins fans, including many Native Americans, are strongly against the name change consideration. The name is not meant to be offensive but is a long standing tradition and history with the team. In 1933, George Preston Marshall, the owner of the team, which was then located in Boston, renamed it the Boston Redskins in honor of the head coach, William "Lone Star" Dietz, an American Indian. When the team moved to Washington in 1937 it was renamed the Washington Redskins. As Washington Redskins fans and supporters, we do not agree with the consideration of changing the name of the team.

Reading Terminal Market (Part 1)
Posted 04 March 2005 - 12:35 PM
Earl's return. Last Saturday Earl Livengood was back at the market, with a limited supply of potatoes, rutabagas and spinach. However, his location was a different: part of the space formerly occupied by John's Produce (now mostly a seating area) directly opposite Foster's and Metropolitan. Whether he stays there for the full season or not, I don't know. Earl also doesn't expect to be there every Saturday until the spring crops start coming in, so he probably won't be there tomorrow (March 5).
New sandwich. I noticed a small sign at Tommy DiNic's at the Reading Terminal Market, advertising "brisket of beef" sandwiches at $6.50. When I asked Tommy if this was new, he said he'd had it occasionally (never every day) for a few weeks. He got in some brisket today, so it will be available for lunch tomorrow. I assume its oven roasted like his other meats, not bbq. I don't think I'd put provolone and greens on it, either, but I'll have to tear myself away from the pull of pork soon and give it a try.

Spring has yet to appear, though there are signs:
$1 for a big box of California berries at Iovine's. Certainly not nearly as sweet as what we'll see in late May and June from local berry patches, but a good deal for a welcome treat. At least they taste like strawberries.
Iovine's has had some decent, small, non-woody celeriac. I picked some up a week ago and boiled them with potatoes and mashed them together. Nice fresh tasting, lighter bodied mashed potatoes. Excellent with hearty meat dishes; in this case I served it with a carbonnade flammande. The Haas avocados were ripe and ready at $1 apiece, considerably less expensive than you will find at Whole Paychek.
Fair Food Project is considering moving from center court to part of the space formerly occupied by John's and then D&D produce, directly across from Foster's. Not a done deal, by any means, but it is a strong possibility. The lunch vendors would love to see that happen, and have the other farm stands move to that area, too; that would open up more tables in center court for the lunch crowd, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The farm stand vendors, however, like center court's high traffic.
Some great looking wild striped bass at John Yi's today. I picked up a filet at about $8/pound. Served it simply: broiled with lemon butter. This is fish like a steak: hearty, meaty, doesn't need to be gussied up. The mackeral run should start soon. Shad from Georgia and the Carolinas has been displayed for a couple of weeks. (Restaurants have taken notice; shad roe was a special last week at Sansom Street Oyster House). And carp is available for the gefilte fish makers. Now, if we could only get fresh smelts, rather than frozen.
Just in case anyone doesn't get enough fat, the potato chips sold by Glicks Salads are fried in lard. Boy are they good. You can buy a one-pound bag for $3.
Foster's is selling local food writer Aliza Green's new "Field Guide", following her success with "Field Guide to Produce". The new one is devoted to meat.
mrbighas did you get that brisket sandwich?

these chips are good's, the potato chips i grew up on (well, those and gibbles), which they repackage into those plastic bags. i've seen the boxes behind the counter. they're excellent, although some people (like my wife) find the lard-y taste offputting.
mrbighas did you get that brisket sandwich?
unfortunately no, we got there too late, at about 2. one of these days i'm gonna make it. however, we split a half beef, half pork sandwich. i'd never had the beef before. actually it's not that different from the pork--the seasoning is similar, and once you get the greens and cheese on there, the sandwiches are pretty much the same. the pork has better texture though. still the best sandwich in town if you ask me.
personally i hate this time of year. the citrus is starting to go off, the apples are all soft and mealy, and nothing around here is growing quite yet. we're stuck with only bananas and california strawberries and asparagus. drives me nuts.
Posted 20 March 2005 - 11:04 AM
I would kill for a place near me that sold striped bass at that price.
DiNic's or Sarcone's for lunch, there's a dilemma.

The oranges I've picked up lately at Iovines have been fine. The Chilean grapes are sometimes okay. As far as veggies go, go for the greens: the turnip greens I got last week were just fine for something that traveled cross-country.personally i hate this time of year. the citrus is starting to go off, the apples are all soft and mealy, and nothing around here is growing quite yet. we're stuck with only bananas and california strawberries and asparagus. drives me nuts.

and i'm starting to get tired of root vegetables. when winter starts i love them, but by early spring i'm ready to move on. when will the peas and ramps be ready!
rlibkind, i'm right with ya on the greens. not a week goes by that i don't get several bunches. oh and the strawberries--sue's produce this week had california strawberries that were actually delicious. they weren't quite as intensely flavored as the smaller local varieties, but they were really pretty darn good.
ghostrider, as far as your lunch dilemma, i would let your location decide. if you're in south philadelphia, go for sarcone's. if you're in center city near the terminal, go for dinics.
Posted 06 June 2005 - 08:26 AM
Let me just say....WOW!! I've been telling my husband about the every increasingly popular roast pork italian sammies in Philly. Basically, he's had no interest. Maybe it didn't sound that special, and he always loves to treat us to some cheesesteaks when we visit home.
So, in RTM Ricks has about 30 people/tourists in line and I say "hey, walk back this way with me, and take a look at the pork at DiNic's". So, being that there were two seats open, we sat down, and had a juicy, amazing roast pork in 4 minutes. My husband is a convert! Although he got his with peppers (is that going against the grain?) he loved his as much as i loved mine. Had to wrap up half of it myself. It was huge.
And the drippings were ajus from the pork, not just grease. Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that.
We sat next to out of town tourists and I gave them two thumbs up for finding a true insider real deal. Especially since they'd gone to Pat's the night before at about 3 am.. .....didn't beat him up over that!
Next...Tony Lukes.
Posted 06 June 2005 - 08:43 AM
And also: Man, this is making me crave DiNic's big time. Last time we were there we had the roast pork sandwiches, but they were out of the broccoli rabe. The pork and the super-strong provolone were terrific by themselves, to be sure, but without the rabe it just lacked that extra *oomph*.

What does one do with fiddleheads, anyway? I saw them yesterday in Whole Foods. They were intriguing, but I've never come across any recipes or recommendations on how to consume them.
I blanch for 10 seconds and place in cold water. Then I sautee with garlic and oil. Before all that, I also defrizz them in cold water to get rid of the brown little leaves. You can probably find more recipes on google
Posted 06 June 2005 - 12:19 PM
I think it's a good excuse to have lunch there this week.
Posted 06 June 2005 - 12:54 PM
2. fiddleheads: i clean them, sautee in olive oil with garlic and some red pepper flakes, then squeeze in some lemon juice and a few drops of water, and cover and steam for about 30 seconds or a minute. for a meal, toss that with pasta and goat cheese, and then put on fresh basil or parsley or mint or whatever you have fresh.

Mega-WOW. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat a cheesesteak again, this was just SO much better.
Thanks all for placing the evil thought in my head!

You people are evil. On my lunch break today I HAD to go to DiNic's and try the roast pork (with cheese and greens, of course).

Welcome to the campaign! I've been trying to get the "National Sandwich" changed to the Roast Pork Italian for years now. It simply blows the doors off of a cheesesteak.

Perhaps it'll be a true Philly insider thing, and that's ok. It's certainly taken on mega wonderful and desirous status amongst the locals. Keeps those tourists outa my way when I visit!
In fact, our lovely waitress at DiNic's told us that Saturday is their light day because all the tourists line up for hoagies and cheesesteaks (mostly at Ricks). Weekdays, of course, bring locals for lunch.

Lemon cucumbers have started to show up (Fair Food Project had them; Livengood's usually has them in season, too). Another "ball" shaped veggie is the little round summer squash that Benuel Kaufman sells; grate them and sautee them.
Last week I picked up some fresh beets at the Fair Food Project and roasted them in foil. Delish! Lots of other beets available now, too. What I'm waiting for are the longer, more cylindrical beets Benuel offers in season. They should be available soon.
Raspberries were still available today at Benuel's, $3.95/pint.
Tomato prices vary; Iovine's has Jersey's at 99-cents; Halteman's had two different Lancaster County tomatoes at $2.59 and $2.89, IIRC. Benuel gets about $3.50 for his. Goes great with the Silver King corn at 50-cents an ear. Fair Food had the first sun gold cherry tomatoes I've seen this season (they'll sauce pasta tomorrow night)
Kirby cucumbers are in season, and Benuel has some nice small ones, perfect for pickle-making. (I do mine in a salt-only brine [no vinegar] with garlic and coriander seeds. Dill is nice, too.)
Peaches have started to show up; Benuel had "soft" ones for $2 a pound, which is just a little more than the going-price for unsoft peaches at Halteman's.
Local apricots were still here today, but it's probably the last weekend for them. I made a clafouti the other day with some that had been sitting in my fridge since last week (peeled by a dip in boiling water followed by ice bath) with a few going-soft black raspberries thrown in for contrast. It's amazing how even just-okay apricots become silken and unctious when baked.
Finally got to try Tommy's brisket sandwich. I agree with bigjas, it won't replace roast pork, but it does present a difficult choice. It just melted in the mouth, and the light touch of gravy was perfect; I detected just a touch of tomato paste to give the gravy a light sweetness. I got the sandwich wrapped to go and ate it soon after I put the produce away; despite the sufficient quantity of gravy, the sandwich, though messy, stayed together, even though I ate at least a third of the meat with a fork.
Posted 24 July 2005 - 08:39 AM
And when there are blackberries, there are also peaches. Early varieties can be found at Kauffman's, Halteman's, Fair Food Project and Livengood's. I think next week I'll make a blackberry-peach cobbler! Halteman's had the best price, at $1.89/pound.
Cherries are just about over. This past Saturday the only cherries to be found were pie cherries at Benuel Kauffman's and Pacific NW Bings at Iovines.
Tomatoes, however, are building. Livengood offered both certified organics and heirlooms.
Wild Pacific sockeye and king salmon were available at John Yi's. The sockeye was a buck or two cheaper a pound.
Time to cook greens. The chard, collards and other greens at Livengood's looked splendid. Fair Food frequently has Tuscan kale. Varieties of eggplant starting to expand exponentially, especially at Iovine's. Most of them come from South Jersey. Lima beans are in season, too; Livengood's has them shelled.
Posted 30 July 2005 - 02:17 PM
I introduced them to the dinic roast pork and greens, fisher pretzels and apple dumplings with cream. While we were at it we grabbed some dumplings et all from Sang Kee.
The rib stand looked good but we passed and headed over to Zen Tea house for some bubble (tapioca) drinks - iced vietnamese coffee and coconut.
I presume tonight is cheesesteak night. I only eat them when people are in from out of town. Thats a good rule for me - well - a guideline more than a rule.
Posted 30 July 2005 - 06:12 PM
i'm still looking for the old school yellow corn though. someday.
Posted 30 July 2005 - 07:44 PM
Could it be that it's just an exceptionally good year for stone fruits? So far, the cherries and apricots have been outstanding. Hard to tell with the early variety peaches, but we'll know in another week or two how that crop's quality and quantity fares. Local plums are also coming in now. I haven't tasted any yet, but they look good.
Blackberries continue strong. Absolutely amazing with Pequea Valley Dairy's whole milk yogurt from jersey cows (available at the Fair Food Farmstand and from the diary stand). Blueberries also plentiful, and they're cheap.
Lots more heirloom tomatoes at Livengood's. Pricey at $3.99, but they are exceptional. The standard tomatoes from Benuel Kaufman aren't shabby either, and they're priced, IIRC, at $2.99, or is it $2.49?
Local canteloupes (actually, musk melons) are available. Their going for $250/$3.50 a melon.
Posted 31 July 2005 - 08:24 AM
kauffman's tomaters are $2.99 for reds, $3.69 for yellows. i bought a tomato there yesterday that cost over $2, which, i mean, obviously it was nearly a pound, but it still caught me off guard.
livengoods had fewer greens this week, but were loaded with colorful carrots, good lookin beets, and lots of green beans. i'm tempted to go out to their farm today, but i don't think i can make it.
iovine's has their first local cantaloupes for $1 each. i do wish they'd stop styrofoam/saran wrapping their hot peppers, though. their serranos nearly always are starting to grow mold on the stems from being in there. i picked up a package of their not-so-pretty chantarelles, though, which were delicious. i love that they sell those imperfect mushrooms--those fancy varieties cost a mint, and i wouldn't be able to afford them otherwise.

I agree with you on the styrofoam/saran wrap at Iovine's. I'll have to ask Vin or Jim why they do that, but I can take a good guess: it allows them to carry a wider variety of goods without the need to provide bin space. If they had to have separate bins for all the items they pack this way, they'd either have to tremendously expand the size of their store or limit the variety of what they stock (which would mean no samphire or fiddleheads in their seasons). As for expansion, well, they probably pay enough rent already, and where would they expand to?i do wish they'd stop styrofoam/saran wrapping their hot peppers, though. their serranos nearly always are starting to grow mold on the stems from being in there. i picked up a package of their not-so-pretty chantarelles, though, which were delicious. i love that they sell those imperfect mushrooms--those fancy varieties cost a mint, and i wouldn't be able to afford them otherwise.
At the same time, the "bagged" specials for $1 and the imperfect mushrooms can be great deals.
I'm hard-pressed to think of another greengrocer in town who carries the quality and variety of produce at decent prices that Iovine's does. Supermarkets don't come close, and as good as some of the Korean greengrocers can be, Iovine's generally has them beat across the board.

The mirai corn from the Fair Food Farmstand is sweet and tender. I've been grilling it, then serving it with a squeeze of lime and some grains of cayenne to taste. Butter and salt works, too.
Also from FFF, picked up pork chops (Country Time Farm); they had been delivered Thursday and not yet frozen. I'd love to see some fattier, heritage pig, but after brining and two-stage grilling these succulent babies satisfied. Served with the mirai corn, some slices of heirloom tomatoes (don't know the variety, but they were yellow and red, from Benuel Kaufman) and nectarine chutney (made from purposely picked hard nectarines from Kaufman and a "kung pao" pepper just turned red from our patio garden.
Also served a quick cucumber pickle, made from "English" cukes the FFF unexpected got from one of their farmers. Although seedier than the commercial English cukes, the seeds it did have were still marginal, and the fresh taste was as summery as it gets. For a refreshing apperitif, dice a teaspoon's worth of cuke and add to a glass of chilled light, cheap summer white wine (Portuguese 'green' wine works well) with a thin slice of lime. Warning: Do not do this with chard.
Benuel expects to have his second (and main) crop of the long red beets during the coming week. I find them sweeter and "beet-ier" than the fancier varieties. They have the added advantage of a more uniform thickness, which means you can cook them (roasting is my preferred method) and all parts will be equally cooked. With bigger round beets, sometimes the outside is too soft or the center too hard.

Posted 27 August 2005 - 07:00 PM
As for quality, even though the one I bought today was perfectly ripe, it was relatively low on flavor. For slicing and eating in a salad, so-so. But they'd be fine in guac. Texture of fruit was suitably creamy.
Limes are as inexpensive at they get: a dime apiece at Iovine's. Lemons are twice that price, still a decent price.
Fair Food Project's Mirai corn was delivered Thursday morning, so I passed it by. Instead, bought some white corn at Earl Livengood's. Delicious. Earl still has blackberries, as well as second crop of raspberries.
Benuel Kaufman, as promised, had the long cylindrical beets. $2 for a box of just under a dozen. Each beet is about 1.25" in diameter, 2.5-3.5 inches long. Sweetest beets you'll ever taste. I roasted them in aluminum foil this evening while cooking chicken parts on the Weber Silver B.
(That chicken, btw, was marinated in lime juice, scallions, home grown red chili pepper, EVO, black pepper and tequila. When the chicken was done [indirect heat except for final crisping, basting with marinade] boiled the marinade with more chopped chili pepper and a tablespoon of added white sugar, turned off heat, added roughly chopped cilantro and immediately poured over chicken. Served with a salad of shredded iceberg, tomato and avocado slices in simple vinaigrette. Corn on the cob on the side. Chicken came from Harry Ochs at $1.99/pound for a whole "free range" bird, cut into parts to order. Drank a Vinho Verde.)
Halteman's Country Store had some white peaches; look and smell good, they're sitting in a paper bag on the kitchen counter for just a tad more ripening. Got a couple more plums, too. Apricots have finally disappeared.
Also picked up a small round red watermelon from Benuel Kaufman; I'll try it with some of the feta I picked up at Downtown Cheese; the feta also goes well with sliced beets when you add some walnuts and a bit of orange meat, topped with vinaigrette.
Grapes are starting to make an appearance. I think Fair Food had concords. Iovines had muscadines (which I detest), but not local. I greatly miss the wonderful grapes I used to purchase in late summer and well into the fall at the Ithaca Farmers Market.
Early apples have been available for the past couple weeks at Kaufman's and Halteman's. Haven't tried them yet -- I'm too occupied with the melons, stone fruit and berries.
Caviar Assouline is closing its Reading Terminal Market outpost; Joel decided it wasn't worth the rent. They were also stuck in an out-of-the-way location, even if they were right by Metropolitan Bakery. Today they were clearing out the stock with lots of items on sale -- Valrhona, for example, at 70% off. Alas, caviar was not included among the sale items. Sigh. One could wish.
I still don't understand why Profi's Creperie does what appears to be a good business. I tried them once and they were cardboardy. Has anyone had a better experience?
Posted 02 September 2005 - 10:56 AM
Peaches and pears, side-by-side, at L. Halteman's Country Store. The peaches, like all the stone fruit this season, have been superb. I've got some of these Bartlett pears ripening in a paper bag; they are pretty hard, so it will take a couple of days.
Fair Food Project Farmstand also displayed summer and fall produce side-by-side.
Okra makes an apperance, alongside cherry tomatoes, limas, blackberries and raspberries at Fair Food. This is pretty much the last gasp for blackberries. Earl Livengood didn't have any Thursday afternoon at the Fairmount market. The blackberries are tending to develop that common thread-like mold or fungus quickly right now, so if you buy them, use them immediately.
With the exception of the onions, this photo shows some fruits we treat as vegetables: peppers, cucumber, eggplant, tomatoes. This produce was on display at Benuel Kauffman's stand, where I picked up corn, tomatoes and watermelon. He still has those luscious cylindrical red beets at $2 a box.
Other observations from my visit today:
Iovine's still has those Chilean avocados at 2 for $1, but not many; perhaps they'll put out more at that price for Saturday shoppers. I passed them by, but Iovine's had incredibly good looking Hen-of-the-Woods mushrooms; If I was in a deep-frying mood, I'd batter those babies and feast.
I picked up the rib eye steaks at Fair Food that are offered at 20% off (still not cheap at $10 a pound. They look good and decently marbled; I'll report back. Also on the menu for this weekend: spare ribs, courtesy of Harry Ochs; I'll put 'em on the Weber kettle with chips and slow smoke.
Happy Labor Day weekend to all, and to Katie, Mummer, Herb and the rest of the crew heading south for Varmint's Pig Pickin', drive safely, and don't forget to rob a bank for gas money.
