Defining the Ideal Candidate
Today, many businesses find their employees have a large impact on the success of the company. Good employees can make your work a pleasure, but when an employee is not performing well, it can cause you to lose sleep and money.
The U.S. employment industry looks very different today from a decade ago and has become very competitive, where finding good employees can be a challenge. Whether you have one employee or 2000, the tips here can help you to hire employees who will best fit into your business culture and will actually do what you hired them to do.
Hiring employees starts with understanding the goals of your business and defining how each task that gets done relates back to those goals.
In a sales oriented business, for example, it's easy to see, the task of selling products creates revenue, which in turn creates profits. If you just hire someone to sell products, however, you're only getting half of the picture. Effective hiring means finding employees who can, for example, sell more products, without costing you more to pay for them.
The solution is attract and hire the right employees the first time. To do this, you need to have a clear idea of exactly what you need them to do and what the Ideal Candidate looks like. Learn the Key Steps to Attracting and Hiring the Ideal Candidate. We recommend you create an Ideal Candidate profile.

How does the search experience on FlipKey compare to the experience on Airbnb? Let's find out. Here's FlipKey vs Airbnb in one traveler's quest to find the perfect vacation rental.
On Airbnb, travelers can browse collections or conduct a search for rentals in a specific location. Let's start with the 'Browse' option.
Not quite sure where you want to go yet? You can browse by the following collections: Neighborhoods, Popular, Airbnb Picks, Match). I was most intrigued by Popular, so I clicked on that option and voila:
Travelers who have a better idea of where they want to go, when and with how many people can conduct a search by destination, check in and checkout dates, number of guests and room type (entire home/apt, private room, shared room). We'll use Maui as a test.
Note that you can choose to fill in as many of the above search options as you like. The more you narrow down your search initially though, the less you'll have to sift through later in the search results. If you know you're going on a trip with your girlfriend/wife, her parents and yours, you probably want to go ahead and up the number of guests from "1″ and/or click on "Entire home/apt." Unless of course you want to get extremely cozy. Hey, I'm not judging.
Okay, once you hit the blue "Find a Place" button, you'll have the option to apply a bunch of filters, including the following: Price Range, Keywords, Room Type (entire home/apt, private room, shared room), Home Size (number of bedrooms, bathrooms, beds), Neighborhood, Property Type (apartment, cabin, villa, treehouse, etc.), Amenities (smoking, pets allowed, A/C, family friendly, suitable for events), Languages Spoken by host.
I searched for a private room for $100/night with wireless internet and a Spanish speaking host. The results? "We couldn't find any results that matched your criteria…"
Okay so maybe that was a little too specific. So I gave up on my dream of speaking Spanish with my host and unclicked the "Languages" option.
That gave me a couple of results:
The "Maui Ocean Spa Healing Rental Fees" was intriguing, so I clicked on it.
I'm still not sure what it is. Apparently it includes a "Real Bed," but the description tells me I can use the rental for workshops, "mani/pedi and client consulting," or throw a party for 30 of my friends in the waiting area. Hum.
I took away the "Room Type" option ('Private Room'), and was surprised to still see only 2 options. Okay. I was very specific about the price, so I removed that filter.
Aha. Lots of lovely listings appeared. That was great, though I did find myself wishing I could sort them by price, to easily spot the least expensive. Maybe I missed the "sort" feature?
Also, for a person taking their first look at Airbnb search results, the difference between "Reviews" and "Other Reviews" is not immediately apparent.
Oh well. I did like that I could view the rentals as a List, like in the image above, or as photos (below, right) – or see the results on a map (below, left):
Now let's go to the FlipKey homepage.
I was about to type "Maui" into the search when I spotted under "Latest Deals" a "Free night on a weekly stay." I just had to click on "All MAUI deals."
Jackpot! Who doesn't love to save?
I am, however, the kind of traveler who likes to do all her research before booking, so I went back to the regular search and typed in "Maui." Note that travelers can search by destination, check in and checkout dates, number of bedrooms and number of guests.
Once you've entered the initial search parameters (you need only enter the destination, but if you know how many people are traveling and/or when, just go for it) you'll have the option to filter the results.
As you can see below, travelers can filter search results by the following: Price (range), Home Size (bedrooms, bathrooms), Number of Guests, Monthly Stay Discounts, Keywords, Review Score, Amenities (pet friendly, patio/balcony, housekeeping, deal available, book online), Rental Types (apartment, house, chalet, villa, houseboat, etc.), Rental Manager (rental manager, rent-by-owner), Accessibility (wheelchair, elderly, child friendly), Deals Available, Reviewed, Book Online. Phew – that's a lot of options!
I decided to go with a search for a property that was $500 a week, a "5 stars only" review score, a pool, and "Rent-by-owner." I got 16 results.
Not bad. I also loved that I could click on the "Sort by" option and view the results sorted by the following: Relevance, Price (high to low and low to high), Featured, Guest Rating, Number of Reviews. There was no option to display the results as a map, like on Airbnb, but I was able to click on the map in the upper left hand corner of the results page and view the listings on a map that way.
Both FlipKey and Airbnb have a way for travelers to easily keep track of their favorite listings. Airbnb calls it saving the property to your "Wishlist" (the icon appears when you hover anywhere over a particular listing). FlipKey calls it adding the property to "My Picks" (the icon appears when you hover anywhere over a particular listing).
One thing I noticed that FlipKey has on their listings results page, on the left hand side of the page, if you scroll down below the filter options, is a popup that shows suggestions on what do to on your Maui trip (click on "See More" under "Explore Maui Vacation Rentals"). They also have a "Find Things to Do in Maui" link that leads to a page with all sorts of resources on things like activities, entertainment and nightlife, attractions, restaurants and even events.
So which one "wins"? Well, you can search FlipKey and other top vacation rental sites in one place on Tripping.com.
You'll be able to do the following:
- Save your Favorite listings
- Sort search results (by Price – low to high and high to low, Relevance, Date Added, and Distance – from the destination you entered)
- Use handy filters (Keywords, Search Radius, Dates, Number in Group, Price Range, number of Bedrooms, Amenities (balcony, view, fireplace), Room Type (entire home, private room, no minimum stay, exotic/unique) and Listing Provider.
- Meet locals (connect w/ them for tips or arrange to meet them for coffee or a meal)
Finding your dream rentals is a snap when you can run multiple searches at one time.
Search top vacation rental sites at once on Tripping.com now!

It's the moment you've been waiting for: The Taipei Zoo's giant panda cub is on display.
And, you guessed it – she's a looker!
Six-month-old Yuan Zai made her public debut on Monday, just days after she was unveiled to the media at the Taiwan zoo on Saturday. (Watch her get ready with her handlers for the big reveal in the video above.)
The island's first giant panda cub is expected to attract 19,000 visitors daily to the exhibition, reports the BBC.
But good luck catching this little ball of fur in action: She currently sleeps for about 20 hours a day.

Do essential oils have an effect on your heart?
What do we know already?
Essential oils are concentrated oils made from natural substances such as clove, lavender, and rose. They are commonly used in complementary therapies, such as aromatherapy.
Some studies have shown that essential oils could have some health benefits, but these have mostly been poor-quality studies. We can't be sure that essential oils have any health benefits.
In complementary medicine, essential oil of bergamot is used, among other things, to give you a calming, soothing feeling. Researchers wanted to find out if this could affect your blood pressure or heart rate. This study looked at the effect of essential oil of bergamot on the heart rate and blood pressure of 100 spa workers who had no heart problems and weren't at risk of developing heart problems.
The researchers used a diffuser to disperse a fine mist of essential oil of bergamot into a room. The spa workers sat in the room for two hours on three occasions about one week apart. During each of the two-hour visits, the researchers measured the blood pressure and heart rate of the spa workers at 15-minute intervals.
What does the new study say?
During the first hour of breathing in the vapours, the spa workers' heart rate and blood pressure went down. But during the second hour the spa workers' blood pressure and heart rate increased to higher levels than before they were exposed to the bergamot oil. Overall the changes were less than one millimetre of mercury (mm Hg, the unit blood pressure is measured in), or one or two heart beats a minute.
Our blood pressure and heart rate change a lot throughout the day. We don't know if the small changes in heart rate or blood pressure in this study had any effect on the spa workers' health.
How reliable is the research?
This study didn't use a dummy treatment or a sham treatment (for example something that smells like essential oil of bergamot, but isn't) for comparison. So the researchers didn't have anything to compare their results to. We don't know if the changes in heart rate or blood pressure might have happened anyway, even without breathing in the bergamot vapours. Both the spa workers and the researchers knew they were using bergamot oil. This means the results could have been biased, or affected by their expectations.
The fact that the spa workers' blood pressure and heart rate dipped very slightly during the first hour was probably because they'd been active at work and now they were sitting down in a nice-smelling room. After sitting for more than one hour, they may have become fidgety and anxious, causing their blood pressure and heart rate to rise slightly.
What does this mean for me?
We don't know if essential oils have an effect on people's health. The quality of this study is not good enough to know for sure. If you enjoy aromatherapy or other complementary therapies that use essential oils, there is no reason to stop using them. They probably won't do much for your heart rate or blood pressure though.

Jackson Woman Dies in Avalanche
A 28-year-old Jackson woman died Sunday after being caught in an avalanche in the Clause Creek area west of Bondurant in Sublette County. Forest officials say she apparently triggered an eight-inch deep soft slab avalanche on a steep slope which carried her into a timbered area where she struck a tree. Sublette County Spokesman Steve Smith says Elizabeth Benson was with a group of five shortly after 3:00 pm when she was caught in the slide. She was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician who was traveling with the group. Tip Top Search and Rescue out of Pinedale traveled to the area Monday to retrieve Benson's body.

|The Founders
|Wednesday, 02 July 2008
| "It is sometimes said, disparagingly, that the Founders had a utilitarian or functional view of religion, valuing it only as a social and political asset. But this view of religion, it seems to me, is not in itself unworthy. To look upon religion as the ultimate sanction of morality, and hence of a good society and a sound polity, is not demeaning to religion. On the contrary, it pays religion--and God--the great tribute of being essential to the welfare of mankind. And it does credit to man as well, who is deemed capable of subordinating his lower nature to his higher, of venerating and giving obeisance to someone and something above himself."

According to the Weight-control Information Network, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Each year, countless studies investigate various weight-loss tactics, such as low-fat versus high-fat diets, the benefits of snacking, and the importance of exercise for weight loss and maintenance. Data from large groups whose members lost weight on their own, and kept it off, also has been analyzed to determine how they achieved success.
A successful weight-loss plan is a mind/body undertaking that involves not only monitoring calorie intake and expenditure, but also dealing with the psychological side of weight loss and habit change.
But what really works and what doesn't? These seven proven principles can increase your chances of weight-loss success now — and for the long term.
Ask yourself two key questions before starting a weight-loss program: "Compared with the last time I dieted, how motivated am I now?" and "Do I see myself being committed for the weeks, months, or years it will take to reach my goal?"
If your answers are "Very!" and "Yes!," you're ready to take on the challenge of weight loss. If you're not mentally prepped before you dive into a diet, you're more likely to mount a halfhearted effort and suffer the inevitable consequence: regaining the weight.
If your motivation level needs a boost, list the negative aspects to staying at your present weight. These could include having increased health risks, low energy, or not looking your best.
Forget trying to be model thin or get down to what you weighed in high school. Set a more modest goal by cutting 3,500 to 7,000 calories (one to two pounds) per week from what you normally consume. Even people with life-threatening weight problems are advised to stick to that humble objective.
Losing so little over such a long time may seem like a small achievement, but it's not if you keep it off.
To lose weight, you must reduce your calorie intake. Studies show exercise alone doesn't produce much weight loss. Still, you should get in the habit of exercising while in the weight-loss phase of your diet because you'll need it when you move to weight maintenance.
Dietary guidelines from the USDA recommend most adults do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Some adults might need as much as 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.
A calorie is still a calorie whether it comes from fat or carbohydrate or protein. Fats supply energy and essential fatty acids, and they help absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and carotenoids. Fat contains 9 calories per gram; carbohydrates and proteins contain 4 calories per gram. So, eating 1 gram of fat gives you more calories than 1 gram of carbohydrate. Reducing the amount of fat you eat is one way to limit your overall calorie intake. Eating fat-free or reduced-fat foods isn't always the answer to weight loss, if you eat more of the reduced-fat food than you would of the regular item. For example, if you eat twice as many fat-free crackers as regular crackers, you have increased your overall calorie intake. Remember, just because a product is fat-free, it doesn't mean that it is "calorie-free." All calories count!
"Snackaholic" habits could be contributing to America's collective weight problem. Snackers eat the same amount at meals as nonsnackers, so they end up eating more total calories.
On special occasions — say you really want the chocolate cake and ice cream at an office party — go ahead and dig in. Successful weight losers don't deprive themselves of foods they crave or love, but they have self-control for tempting foods so they don't go overboard.
To maintain weight loss, don't ignore your scale and go by other indicators, such as how well your jeans fit. Instead, play the numbers game and step on the scale once a week.
A weekly weigh-in can accurately help you monitor your weight, so you realize when you're in relapse. If you gain five pounds or more, ask yourself what you've been doing lately that might have caused the weight gain, then make changes to lose those extra few pounds within the month.

Authorities say an unloaded handgun and ammunition were found in a carry-on bag at an airport in Des Moines.
The Transportation Security Administration says the gun was detected at a screening checkpoint Wednesday at Des Moines International Airport. The unloaded handgun, several magazines and ammunition with 42 rounds were found in a bag belonging to John Thompson, a U.S. Army captain from Virginia.
The 33-year-old Thompson told authorities he didn't know the items were in the bag. He was arrested and charged with an airport regulation screening checkpoint violation.
Firearms and ammunition are prohibited in carry-on baggage, but can be checked in at the ticket counter in a locked container.
This is the second firearm found this year at a screening checkpoint in Des Moines.

Nautel Adds HD Radio Transmitter Power Boost
Las Vegas - Apr 11, 2008 - Nautel has introduced a new technology that will allow HD Radio broadcasters to increase digital transmitter power while improving efficiency. Nautel calls this technology HD Power Boost, which will be available on its new transmitters introduced at the NAB Show.
Nautel Research Engineer Philipp Schmid will discuss the company's patent-pending technology in a session during the Broadcast Engineering Conference. IBOC signals require a widely varying signal envelope. The peak power compared to the average power in the signal is defined as the peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR). According to Schmid, "The ideal IBOC signal exhibits a PAPR of more than 12dB, requiring significant input back off, seriously limiting the transmitter's output power capability and efficiency."
By using advanced algorithms, peak power requirements are reduced, allowing new Nautel transmitters to transmit higher digital power levels while at the same time achieving greater transmitter efficiency. Nautel notes that this effect is even more pronounced at higher digital carrier injection levels.

1. In 1990, communicable diseases caused 59
per cent of deaths and 64 per cent of DALY
(disability-adjusted life year) loss among
the 20 per cent of the world's population that
live in countries with the lowest per capita
incomes, compared to 34 per cent of deaths
and 44 per cent of DALY loss among the
world's population as a whole. Communicable
diseases also contribute disproportionately
to mortality gap and the DALY gap than do
non-communicable diseases. See: Gwatkin,

The absence of effective registration systems
and paucity of wealth or income measures
even renders mortality comparisons within
countries a difficult enterprise. (For discussion,

25. Quality of care initiatives are an important
component of most programmes of assistance

But high or irregular workloads, poor compensation,

pose constant challenges to attaining and

29. In principle, it should be possible to use the
indicators that characterize intra-national
wealth differences to construct a scale applicable
across all countries. Since programmes
to address underserved populations are formulated
within countries, such an effort
would mostly serve academic needs without
assisting practical strategies.

Community Development Law Clinic
"The Community Development Law Clinic provides an exceptional opportunity for students to work with clients, learn substantive law, craft and implement legal strategies, and serve the common good. Whether advocating for a human trafficking victim, mediating a small claims dispute, helping a nonprofit provide services, or representing an inventor, students learn from their experience and appreciate the opportunity. It is rewarding that former students often call to tell me about their continued efforts to serve others with their legal skills."
Elizabeth M. Donovan
Director, Community Development Law Clinic
Assistant Clinical Professor of Law
Human Trafficking Law Clinic
In Human Trafficking Law Clinic, students represent victims of human trafficking. In addition, students collaborate with government and non-government organizations, and engage in community outreach and training.
"There is no greater reward than serving clients with professionalism and integrity in combating human trafficking and saving the dignity of human life. Being a part of the clinical program allowed me to help victims and make a difference in the lives of people deprived of their freedom."Charles Liu, Class of 2010
To read more about this clinical work read an article from the spring 2011 issue of the Advocate
Mediation Law Clinic
In Mediation Law Clinic students learn, use, and develop skills as advocates and mediators. Through the classroom and Lee and Collier County courts, students learn a problem-solving approach to the practice of law, while gaining valuable experience. Once students successfully complete the Mediation Law Clinic, they may apply to the Florida Supreme Court to obtain county court mediator certification.
"The Mediation Clinic is exceptional because it combines active learning in a small classroom setting with hands-on experience in the
court system."
To read more about this clinical work read an article from the winter 2011 issue of the Advocate
Patent Law Clinic
In Patent Law Clinic, students represent clients who would not otherwise be able to afford to pursue patents for their inventions. Students work with clients to understand their inventions, research existing patents for similar or related inventions, prepare the documentation necessary to file provisional patent applications, and file applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
"The Ave Maria Patent Clinic provided me with a great opportunity to advance my patent drafting skills while gaining excellent practical experience. In addition to learning the intricacies associated with filing a patent application, I was able to develop my advocacy skills by interacting with actual clients."Albert Abbou, Class of 2008

Didn't Make It to 4G World? Not to Worry: Here's a Snapshot!
By Naomi Weiser
It was going to take more than Hurricane Sandy to put off some of the more unfortunately located 4GWorld speakers, who like T-Mobile's CTO Neville Ray, managed to join by video or audio link.
Being a 4G conference, all the topics you might expect were on the agenda from spectrum (Neville Ray: "In the long term I don't think there's an operator that can stand up and say there's enough spectrum in the U.S. market") to innovation (Cisco's Kelly Ahuja: "We need to use the network as a platform for innovation" and Samsung's Kevin Packingham:"You can put an enormous amount of power into a device but the network has to be able to support it. You can't innovate without it.")
There was a lot of discussion about business models and the best way to monetize 4G, and Juniper's Brad Brooks offered an interesting take on this, explaining why "first to service" to take advantage of the first wave of growth and "fast to failure" will be the way we build and define platforms. (With fast to failure, an operator needs to realize quickly when an opportunity or a capability is not going to work, to be able to stop it and transfer efforts quickly to something else.)
He also focused on the "incredible importance" of investing in security, especially since the fundamental design of LTE networks is based on IP, meaning that the fundamental core of operators' business models (i.e. their subscriber information) is open to the Internet. He described high performance firewalls as "an absolute imperative if you don't want them to turn into a chokepoint," as is the ability to accurately identify a specific address/hacker, rather than blocking a wide range of IP addresses.
Brooks also highlighted why strategies are needed around cache-management technology, especially when it comes to video traffic, citing the example of the Psy "Gangam-style" video viewed more than 600 million times on YouTube in the last two-and-a-half months.
The most unusual thing about this phenomenon isn't how quickly this number grew (or why people are watching it in the first place) but rather the fact that people are choosing to watch it more than once. The takeaway about this demand for repeat viewing is how to manage and plan traffic intelligently – for example, how best to broadcast it, cache it, how to adapt the compression to suit different screens, and also the possibility of sharing sessions using multicast.
This was a point echoed by Qualcomm's Bill Davidson, who highlighted the importance of multicast in driving efficiency and improving spectrum utilization. He gave an example where two users might ask for the same screen on an NFL app in the same stadium at exactly the same time – if the users could share the session rather than getting an individual session, it would lead to 3x throughput gain.
Another big focus at the conference has been data analytics – not too surprising when you consider the ever-increasing quantities of data being delivered. I'm still reeling from all the stats thrown at me over the last few days, but here's one that made me pause for thought courtesy of Intel's Steve Price, who stated that the amount of video watched in just one Internet minute in 2015 would take a single person five years to view – a challenge I think I'll pass on.
Price explained that the extent to which business analytics will be a competitive differentiator with 4G, since so many intelligent devices are already (and will continue to be) connected and generating huge amounts of data. The problem is that we're not mining it efficiently: "Only 15 percent of data collected today is harvested or analyzed." He also pointed out how much value we're missing out on when it comes to unstructured data which is being generated by sensors, cameras etc., ranging from videos, IMs, Word documents to photos. The challenge is how to analyze this data in real time – a point repeated by Heavy Reading's Ari Banerjee, who emphasized that without advanced analytics, creating a strategy is impossible.
Also on the agenda was M2M innovation, which isn't all about telematics, eHealth and smart energy. Instead, 4G America's Vicki Livingston's offered up a slightly more unusual example of M2M innovation ... a scientific trial where sheep are being fitted with a collar to monitor their heart rates and detect when they're in danger from a nearby predator (in this case, wolves). When that happens, the collar releases a wolf repellent, and the result: the sheep are (hopefully) saved.
I'll leave you with an observation from Qualcomm's Bill Davidson which had parents nodding their heads in agreement around the packed auditorium and which sums up how far we've come in the last few years (and where we're going): "For my kids, the phone experience isn't an on-the-ear experience."
With more than 10 years experience in the communications industry, Naomi Weiser is a frequent industry blogger, as well as the editor of the Amdocs Voices blog. (And she's braved Hurricane Sandy to report live from 4GWorld)

Extension program will cover raising alfalfa in the Ozarks
Raising alfalfa in the Ozarks is an effective way of producing protein and energy sources to supplement beef and dairy cattle diets, according to Tim Schnakenberg, an agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
The Taney County Extension Center and Branson Bank are partnering to offer a program and tour to address this subject starting at 4 p.m. on April 22 at the Rob Dalton farm near Brown Branch in northeastern Taney County. The program was originally scheduled in March but was rescheduled due to weather.
The program will focus on the pros and cons of raising alfalfa in a beef operation, supplementing the beef cow diet, alfalfa weed control and the economics of building a hay barn. A spray demonstration for controlling weeds in alfalfa will also be featured, sponsored by MFA in Ava and DuPont Chemical Company.
"Purchased feed has become a very expensive option for farmers these days. If a producer has the land, labor and equipment already available, the possibility of growing alfalfa to supplement beef diets is worth considering, "said Schnakenberg. "Since Rob Dalton has recently built a new barn to store hay in, we also plan to discuss the economics of building a barn and how it might pay to use it to store both low and high value hay supplies."
Tim Schnakenberg, Eldon Cole, livestock specialist, and Gordon Carriker, ag business specialist, all with University of Missouri Extension, will be on hand for the discussion. The Rob Dalton farm is located on Hwy. 76, east of Forsyth 19 miles on the left at the Douglas County line, or 18 miles southwest of Ava on Hwy. 76 on the right. Look for signs at the farm.
A dinner will begin after the tour (at about 6:30 p.m.) in Bradleyville and is hosted by Branson Bank. Participants should pre-register by calling Halley Fleming at Branson Bank 417-334-9696 or email email@example.com by April 15. Contact the Taney County Extension Center at 417-546-4431 for more information regarding content of the program.

Bistro? St Denis?!
Hello all.
I'm visiting Montreal in a few weeks. I've been there a few times before but not for a while now.
Does anybody recognise the restaurant: I went to an amazing bistro-style restaurant about 2 years ago, and it was a real treat. I *think* it was on St.Denis, maybe close to Sherbrooke? It was mainly white inside (that's a vague recollection!) - it was French bistro style food. The thing I remember that you people might recognise, was one of the desserts - it was a sponge pudding in a large white bowl, with lots of custard, and on top of the sponge was a toffee shell. It was amazing! I want to go back there, but I really don't remember what the restaurant was, or even if I have the correct location!
Any suggestions where this place is?!
re: Tboy
If not L'Express (which does sometimes serve Île flottante), it was probably Cocagne www.bistro-cocagne.com
Do you remember which side of the street it was on? L'Express is on the east side (the right, heading north from Sherbrooke), Cocagne on the west (the left).
re: carswell
I'm pretty sure it was on the East side (I remember walking up hill, and the restaurant being on the right hand side). It does sound like L'Express - but I can't find a web-site for the restaurant, so I can't be 100% sure.
Here's a profile of L'Express, incl. a (small) photo, address and hours of business etc. Hope this helps.
It could also be Le café Cherrier because it is right there when you go up the hill. It has a terrace outside, which l'Express doesn't have.
re: Plateaumaman
>>ile flottante (baked alaska?)<<
They're entirely different animals.
Baked Alaska: liquor-soaked sponge cake topped with a mound of ice cream that's covered with meringue and baked until the merigne colours. May be flambéed at the table.
Île flottante/floating island: sweetened egg whites cooked in a bain marie, unmolded onto/into custard cream and traditionally topped with caramel.

Food Detective: A bite of the wild side at annual raccoon fest

In the '70s, I was a graduate student living in a commune in a Kenwood mansion formerly owned by Sears magnate Julius Rosenwald. We had a huge kitchen but few cooking skills, so we hired a cook: Mary, from Mississippi.
One day, we asked Mary to make us some home-style foods. She prepared an unforgettable dinner of chitterlings and raccoon. The chitterlings were somewhat challenging to my citified palate, but the raccoon was dark and stringy like pork, with a pleasant beefy taste. I had seconds.
Few of us, from the North or South, have sampled raccoon. It's old-time country vittles — like possum or squirrel — wild, lean and clean of antibiotics.
Eating in South Australia last year, I was thrilled to taste genuinely feral meats like kangaroo, emu and other creatures born free, hunted wild, sold to restaurants, and served to customers who prefer low-fat game meat.
In the United States, most once-wild meat-animals, like deer and rabbit, grow up on farms under strict controls.
But even in the Midwest, there's wildness to be savored if you look for it.
Every year at the Tom McNulty raccoon feed, hunter-caught raccoon is enjoyed by eager fans of this undomesticated meat at American Legion Post 196 in Delafield, Wis.
Event organizer Craig Hoaglund explained, "Raccoon carcasses are provided by local hunters who want the pelts and would normally just throw out the meat."
Though raccoon may be generally considered little more than road kill, the critter has fans.
Catherine Lambrecht of Chicago Culinary Historians attends the Delafield event every year because, she says, it's "where I can enjoy a raccoon feast without anyone thinking it's weird."
Having prepared the varmint at past events, Lambrecht advises to "remove all the fat and scent glands to avoid a gamey flavor," then, "cook it slowly with lots of moisture like a pot roast; it's too lean to roast."
Jason Mousseau, chef de cuisine at Hearty, hunts. He's bagged the beast and eaten it. "After a brine, a smoke and a sweet glaze," he wryly observed, "it's edible."
The 85th annual raccoon feed is Saturday. Dinner starts at 5 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, $6 for kids. For information, call (262) 646-3930.
