Lord $M$
Way back when I was six Vicodin-deep, nearly a second blunt smoked, 14 years old, and nodding to Donuts behind the Catholic church up the street from my grandparents, it ripely occurred to me that there is no more room in New York unless you build up; this church was built with a school and nunnery all atopple of itself. Thus, what is a young Brooklyn producer to do if a Detroit room-for-expansion DJ (J Dilla) crushed the scene years before now? Go WONTON SWOOSH, like WHAT up in the peace sign, all the middle fingers blazin' off like a bucket of glass shards dropping on marble with a crystal sunset backdrop, including frozen drinks stronger than a shot of 151.
Turn on the radio: is this a car commercial or an actual song? Problem has been infinitely solved, as Lord $M$ took what beat-makers taught before, built upon it (SEE: his current terrain in BK building upon him) and reapporpriated every original aspect you've ever loved about music. And the way WONTON SWOOSH is constructed seems really appropriate for leading into 2015 with grace. Side-A is packed full of all solo production slaughter. Side-B is more collaborative, set aside the Izy instrumental for the last track. Butt-bumping throughout, th'oh.
Fortunately, I've bared witness to the allusiveness of "What is…" WONTON SWOOSH? It's ordering matching shorts and shirt off eBay around 3A.M. Then poppin' some fresh NK Air all day on a rooftop, so at night, the navy and white stripes blur out the red jagged WONTON SWOOSH spoon effect into the most leisurely swagged-out prison outfit gone limp-walk.
Become something new with Lord $M$. Listen to the architecture of WONTON SWOOSH below. Snag the tape off Bootleg Tapes immediately.

Richard Dawson
"The Vile Stuff"
Burryman taken to A&E with Flower Head in his eye."
Every year, on the second Friday in August, a local man in South Queensferry, Scotland is covered head to toe in the spiky seeds of the burdock plant: burrs. He's paraded through town, stopping at landmarks through the day to have drams of whiskey poured into his mouth. The burryman is not allowed to speak for the entire day, and keeps his arms raised in an exhausting, awkward crucifix to avoid the painful sting of the plants which cover his whole body.
Sometimes this can end in disaster.
As I'm fond of telling my rapidly bored friends, Richard Dawson made my favorite album of last year. The Glass Trunk was a cobbled exorcism, a museum of living, screaming folks at the edge of life, voices lent a certain philosophical weight by their shared brutality, their inescapable past, an uncanny valley of the dead. Nothing Important manages the difficult feet of finding posterity in the present and the intensely personal, of capturing the epiphanic spiraling of a long drunken night in Newcastle, of lifelines borne along a dot-to-dot of warm beer and sour trebles. Richard Dawson unpacks his liver, like he once did with a carved Wooden Bag, on a song that still dissolves me fizzing like a morning Alka Seltzer.
It's difficult to think of a lyricist able to transfigure childhood story swapping, city center debauchery, all out hilarity (that careful breath between bum and bag!) and supernatural invocation so spectacularly. Wild Beasts tried, but left a taste of ironic machismo that is just utterly transcended by the oddball, belligerently witty hero of The Vile Stuff. Harry Wheeler's damp, ale soaked video captures the mood perfectly, poking fun at the exoticising gaze of the Hisham Mayet's of this world, while leaning on iconographies that are suitably unfixed and just as entrancing. This aint no supplanted religion of the book, but a spiritual message as engrossing and wild as it's warped pilgrims. As the video implodes, we are left with a sense that, like all the properly enjoyable traditions of our weird little island, this is a spirituality that involves a fair amount of booze and a journeying that, thudding on, never quite ends, unless in hospital.
Who said epiphanies only lasted a moment?

Yearning Kru
fifth ascents
Like bubbles twinkling across a rough surface, popping upon each other, silence is broken in a forest of digital vegetation, and a roaring outcry of the animal chasing your ass is almost too close for comfort, but the loops are broken by a leg running into it to fast, thus stumbling toward another vat of terror is your unintentional prerogative. Those aren't birds you hear, but silenced bombs dropping in the horizon, while rain feels like empty shells dripping into a pool of water warping from calm to whirlpool, so swimming out feels like a challenge in inertia. Upon exiting the waters, the holographic vine-life ensnares your shape, and intertwines you into a system of numbers and fluid working algorithms no human is tangibly privy to, yet your case remains a first, as traversing the ultimate survival terrain is audibly a reality.
Yearning Kru released fifth ascents via (digital label) Quantum Natives, and it's nothing short of the adventure you've been waiting to take. As well, each track is "remixed" so you've a NPCs helping direct your thought! Didn't know that was possible until you plugged in, huh? Plug into fifth ascents by Yearning Kru immediately below:

"uked organ bit"
I don't even care that the drums on "uked organ bit" by Totuls are essentially a "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" clone, because this song is too fucking good to ignore. Disregarding a song due to the fact that it sounds and/or reminds (albeit contains) aspects of another song is as ignorant as not talking to someone because they have similar facial cues and vocal inflections as someone else you know. Grow up, why don't cha? Besides, that simple, sublime, mournful synth line commands the attention of the listener just as much as the drums do, so clam up Charlie, and get with the program.
"uked organ bit" is off of Totuls' latest EP, Death Fuck Acid, and you can hear the rest of the EP by clicking on the highlighted word 'clicking' that you just previously read… not the second instance of 'clicking', but the first one… the highlighted one.

It is the word
Bird, bird bird...bird is the word
Beküldő: iCreatewords 2010. február 5.
A Bird is an impeccable coincidence with a twist of fate. A Bird is a reoccuring, odd experience sharing a crazy detail. When something is Bird it is meant to be and it is brought into exsistance at the exact moment it is required. Bird is when two or more individuals experience or think the exact same thing at the exact same time. Bird is a moment. Bird is a revolution.

Ok so before you say no here are the facts. These are #2 buckets, they have good tight fitting lids. I filled them with clean water and let them sit in the sun for one day. I did a ph strip and chlorine test on the water that was in the buckets and found 0 chlorine and a ph of around 7 so looks like they are going to be ok. I left clean water in them in the sun for another 2 days hoping to use at least one of them wednesday. Do you think they will be OK? I would like to use them for a primary right now I am using plastic carboys for primary & not switching to secondary. I like the idea of a bucket for a primary cause the cleaning is easier. Also having the buckets would really increase the capacity I can brew. We are going to host a large party in the end of May and I am looking to brew all the beer for the party between now and then this increase in capacity would really help me. So give me your pro's & con's and any other things I can look into to see if they would be OK>
Well at least you know their sanitized.
They're fine.
Now pickle buckets...those you need to watch out for.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
The only way to get the pickle smell out of a pickle bucket is to use it as a bait bucket fishing.
If you know of a way to get the fish smell out of a pickle bucket, let me know.
I am sooo happy to have good input on using these buckets. I have 3 new buckets that appear to be 6 gal and two that appear to be 10 gallon. I have not measured yet but I know they are all larger than 5 gallon so my brewery just doubled in size. I also took possesion of my new 10 gallon brew pot today so with my old brew pot as a sparge heater I have a much bigger capacity. I am going all grain as soon as I use up my last 3 extract recipes I have on hand. I need to make a load of beer before the end of May. Now to get HWMBC to finish my new propane connection and I will be brewing.
Before I switched to using a sanke keg for fermenting, I used a 11 gallon shock/sanitizer bucket,and never had any trouble.
When you "passivate" your new brew pot by boiling water in it to establish the oxide layer, transfer the hot water to your buckets. Chlorine, if any left at all, becomes unstabe and deteriorates rapidly with heat.
Finaly got my buckets in and measured them. I have three 6.5 gallon and two 10.5 gallon buckets with good tight lids. All the smell is gone, I am happy & already have one in use.
Good job Janet, I've seen those big 10.5's and have eyed them up as potential fermenters.
Oh and BTW, Royal Palm should be giving you a cut for all the business you steered their way. I'm diggin my new pot but have yet to cristen it. Thanks again for the tip.

I'm reading Peter Kreeft's Ecumenical Jihad
Very fascinating read. And much more challenging after 9/11. One of my readers was very panicky about this book since he thought it provided damning evidence of Kreeft's involvement in the New Age. Kreeft, you see, claims in chapter six to have had an out of body experience (OBE) in which he spoke with Confucius, Mohammed, and Buddha.
Now anybody who knows Kreeft or his work knows that the likelihood of him become a New Age enthusiast is somewhere up there with the likelihood of the Red Sox winning the penant, but since I'd not read the whole book, I refrained from too much comment. Now, I've seen the chapter in question and can assure my fretful reader that this is typical Kreeftian whimsy. I mean, his "ecstatic experience" is described as taking place while he was surfing! His tongue is planted so firmly in his cheek he can practically lick his ear.
Beware of being a Very Earnest Christian. You'll not get a lot of jokes and nobody will invite you to parties. Fear not, fearful reader. Peter Kreeft did not *really* have an OBE. This is called "fiction" (much like the next chapter, in which the spirits of Luther and Aquinas appear to C.S. Lewis in his study).
Anyway, Ecumenical Jihad: great book. Buy it. Read it. Be challenged by it.

What is #Giving Tuesday? It takes place the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and aims to counterbalance the excessive spending from "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday". It is a day dedicated to giving and a movement to kick-off the holiday giving season.
Let your family and friends know so they can support us on the Day of Giving. Ask them to join you in supporting Solano Land Trust by donating on December 2nd. You can click on the "Join Today" button above. It's that easy!
Have you ever wondered who lives in the bird boxes along several trails at Lynch Canyon? The boxes were built for Western bluebirds and installed by Boy Scouts and other volunteers, but regular monitoring and maintenance of the boxes had never been done, so Solano Land Trust engaged sixteen citizen scientists to answer that question for us.
Want to learn more or join the monitoring program? Earl will lead training sessions for new volunteers in February 2015. As part of our regular Citizen Science Friday programs, we will be cleaning boxes and erecting new ones. Solano Land Trust is seeking citizen scientists (and a leader) to monitor new bluebird boxes installed at Rush Ranch, and woodworkers to help build and repair boxes.
Please contact Sue Wickham, Solano Land Trust Project Manager, at (707) 432-0150, ext. 207 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

This is very interesting! A deed is mentioned in "The Blakeneys in America", published in 1928, where Capt. John Blakeney deeded land to the Methodist Church. According to the book, that deed was dated Oct. 15, 1830, and was for five acres. On that deed, the trustees named were Hugh Blakeney, David Freeman, David Laney, Cornelius Holloman and Archibald Laney. It sounds like there is a second deed leaving land to the Methodist Church, which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere before. You may have uncovered a bit of Blakeney family info that no one knew about!!!
From every bit of info I've seen, Capt. John died in 1832 (The Blakeneys in America states August 8, 1832).
My first thought is that once his father died, Capt. John's son, John Jr., was then referred to as John Blakeney, Sr., since he had his own son named John. It's possible that he then continued his father's interest in the church and donated more land. Of course, it's also possible that his accepted death date is wrong, although considering the fact that a record exists showing his presence in Granville County, NC in 1753, he would probably have been well over 100 years old by 1836.
Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the deed, either by email or regular mail (I'd cover costs,of course). If so, please let me know.
Thank you for contacting me about this.

The back side of Slumberland Furniture at Prairie du Chien's Blackhawk Junction mall still stood late Tuesday afternoon after Sunday night's devastating fire. Police tape surrounds the building, to address safety concerns, until it can be razed. Police Chief Harry Remz said late Tuesday that he was still waiting for a determination from the state fire marshal about what may have caused the blaze. More information will be released in the paper and on the Courier Press' Facebook page as soon as those details become available.

"It's sad to see what has happened."
Those were the words of Dan Kanis, owner of Nelson True Value Hardware, Monday afternoon, April 14.
"We're in a lot better position than our neighbors, who haven't been as fortunate. Our hearts go out to them," he added, talking about Slumb-erland Furniture, which was completely engulfed in a fire that started Sunday around 7:10 p.m.
Slumberland Furniture Owner Robert Dowd wished not to speak about the events that occurred at his business Sunday night. His store manager Suzanne Kramer said customers, who may have purchased items from the furniture store and are inquiring about their order, are asked to call (608) 326-1500 with questions. They will be directed Dubuque Slumberland.

In addition, Pete Flesch was nominated and approved by the board to remain as county board chairman. Tom Cornford was approved as vice chairman.

The mineral world realm continues to offer new, stunning gemstone varieties. In 2010 a major deposit of Labradorite, a gem-quality variety of the mineral feldspar, was discovered in southern Madagascar. Labradorite has been known for some time, having originally been discovered in Labrador, Canada but also occurring in several other countries, including the U.S. A related gem, moonstone, can be collected in the stone fence rows in the Wausau, Wisconsin area.
On April 11, at approximately 3:50 a.m., the Crawford County Dispatch Center received a 911 call from a residence in the village of Gays Mills. The caller, 44-year-old Branston Haggerty, stated he needed medical attention for his friend who had shot himself.
Shown is the view of the proposed expanded Prairie du Chien Memorial Library, from the northeast (Wacouta Avenue). Large posters of these conceptual drawings are available at the library and at Prairie du Chien City Hall. Interested individuals may also access them online via the city's website, library's website or on their Facebook pages.

A conceptual design of the Prairie du Chien Memorial Library expansion project—which would double the size of the current facility—was presented to the library board and city council last week by David Cameron and Patrick Cleary, of Cameron Aslaksen Architects, Reedsburg.
According to Cameron's and Cleary's synopsis, the project is targeted to cost about $2.92 million, which is expected to be funded in two parts. One part should come from one-and-a-half to two years of a fundraising campaign, to include grant applications, conducted by the Friends of the Prairie du Chien Memorial Library and the library board. The city will look to borrow the other half.
Renovation of the current square footage of 5,094, which is in good overall condition, will be accompanied by a new addition of 6,718 square feet. Depending on the success of the fundraising campaign, optional possibilities include:
Prairie du Chien Public Works officials are describing this winter as one of the worst the city has ever seen regarding frozen pipes and water main breaks. Frost levels reached approximately seven feet deep and the first residential water freeze-up of the season occurred Jan. 10, when the high temperature was 26 and the low was 15 below zero.
"I've never dealt with this number of issues in the 15 years I've been with the city or in the 23 years I've worked in the water profession," said Larry Gates, Prairie du Chien's co-manager of public works and water department supervisor.
One of the biggest business fires Prairie du Chien has ever witnessed occurred at Blackhawk Junction Sunday night, leaving Slumberland Furniture completely destroyed and the remaining businesses in the mall with a great degree of smoke damage. Eight fire departments responded and about half a million gallons of water were expended. No injuries were reported.
The state fire marshal was scheduled to arrive mid-morning Monday to assist in determining the cause of the fire; that determination wasn't available at press time.
The Prairie du Chien Fire Department received the first call about the fire on the city's northeast end at 7:09 p.m. Sunday.
Traci Lund helped control traffic while working for the Crawford County Highway Department. April 7-11 was National Work Zone Awareness Week but construction season lasts all summer long. Everyone is reminded to be careful on the roadways, especially in work zones.
National Work Zone Awareness Week was observed April 7-11, but construction season lasts all summer long. In it second decade, the effort for work zone awareness provides an opportunity for the highway industry to remind the public along with its employees about safety in work zones.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution at a recent session in support of awareness through work zones.
Work zone crashes kill hundreds and injure thousands of roadway workers, motorists and passengers every year. Drivers must be attentive to changing conditions and exercise caution when they approach and travel through a work zone.
The Prairie du Chien Street Department is gearing up for its annual spring citywide cleanup, open to residents within the city. This year's schedule is as follows:
Blackhawk Avenue north, Monday, April 14
Blackhawk Avenue South (east of Marquette Road), Tuesday, April 15
Blackhawk Avenue South (west of Marquette Road), Wednesday, April 16.
Appliances: Must have doors and locks removed. Appliances and brush must be curbisde in front or in alley to rear of residence.
Electronics: None accepted. No electronic devices will be picked up. They must be disposed of at Clean Sweep/e-waste collection held in Prairie du Chien on April 12.
Brush: Must be piled parallel to the curb or alley so it can be scooped up easily or it will not be picked up.
Construction and remodeling material: Will NOT be picked up. It must be put in a dumpster.
On Saturday, April 5 at approximately 9:30 a.m., the Prairie du Chien Police Department responded to a call of suspicious activity at 918 South Marquette Rd. During the investigation, three "one pot" methamphetamine labs were discovered at the residence.
Officers notified appropriate personnel for the investigation and secured the area for the investigation.
The police department was assisted at the scene by the Prairie du Chien Fire Department, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Crawford County Public Health and Chicago Crime Scene Cleanup.
The incident remains under investigation. Charges are pending with the Crawford County District Attorney's Office.

Emmett's pizza is not sold by the slice nor is it foldable—trying to make it so would be as futile an act as bending a slice of apple pie. The Chicago-style deep dish is so thick that the small size is too much for one, the medium too much for two, the large and 14-inch family sizes only for competitive eaters. For Americans, too much is just right, especially when cardboard take-out boxes are provided. The shoebox-size space squeezes in bar stools, couples tucked into window seats and small tables separated by mere inches. The only reason the pizza fits is because it's served on pedestals. The pies are not just enormous but good, thanks to savvy Chicago native and proprietor Emmett Burke, who tested the formulation over and over until he got it right. Allow some time when going here, as the pies take 35 to 40 minutes to bake and settle.

Freedom to Fly the Flag
COLUMBUS -- A new proposal at the Ohio Statehouse would give Ohioans more freedom to fly the American flag and other military flags.
State Senator Bill Coley from Warren County sponsored Senate Bill 51, which would prohibit landlords and associations from restricting the display of flags.
In recent cases in Arizona, Oregon and Indianapolis, residents at apartment complexes were told to take down their flags. Coley doesn't want that to happen in Ohio.
"I understand homeowners want to protect their neighborhoods and maintain the look and feel, but to properly display the American flag is protected by federal law," Coley said.
Coley also wants that protection extended to all service flags.
The Ohio Condominium and Homeowners Association says they fully support Senate Bill 51. Attorney David Kaman, who represents the statewide groups, says, "when people voluntarily choose to move into a deed restricted community such as an HOA or condominium, they are also voluntarily agreeing to abide by the deed restrictions. One common deed restriction is a prohibition against exterior signs, flags and banners. However, deed restrictions are trumped by Federal and State laws and one such law is the Federal Freedom to Display the American Flag Act that was enacted in 2005."

Technical question: Why is ham sliced so thick in France?
- greatgatsby Oct 13, 2011 09:42 AM
It would be great if you can help me out with this one: We have recently moved to France from Italy. One of the arguably greatest assets of the Italian kitchen is its raw prosciutto and associated products (lardo, bresaola, etc etc).
If you buy raw ham in Italy, does not matter whether in a supermarket or a top butcher, slices will be typically VERY thin, equivalent to the second-lowest setting of commercial slicing machines (people typically order "number 2" or "number 1" slices, with number 1 being the thinnest technically possible setting. You may disagree, but I tend to think that the thinner the slice the better the aroma of a high quality dried cut of meat becomes. Most Italians probably would agree with this.
Now, in France we have found so far that ham (raw and cooked) is cut very, very thick. At least by Italian standards. So I have two questions:
1) Do the French really like their ham cut thick and if so why - or am I going to the wrong shops?
2) Is there a polite or smooth way in French to ask the butcher for truly superfine slices?
Thank you! Your help is much appreciated!
1) I don't know for the whole of France, but In the Cantal, they cut there ham thicker than you'll find it in other regions. I've also found in Italy though that the slices of ham, raw ham that is, varies in thickness from region to region.
2)A good French butcher here will slice your ham to the dimensions you desire. Just say "plus fin".
Here in Paris never noticed the issue. l like baked ham somewhat thickly sliced, so always get it that way. For cured hams like it very thinly sliced, so always get it that way. Over the last month, been to at least four restaurants and three shops that all have Berkel slicers that are there to cut the cured hams so thin, you can see through the slices.
thick slices weigh more than thin slices and cost more than thin slices and unless you know the butcher make sure the sample slice "comme ça?" is really the model for all the slices to follow. welcome to Paris.
"2) Is there a polite or smooth way in French to ask the butcher for truly superfine slices?"
Ask for "chiffonnade" or "en chiffonnade". This may even be thinner than you want.
Great, thank you for all your replies, that is really helpful. I will talk to the butcher then. Of course, there could be the element of selling more and spending less time cutting. But judging from your responses it seems that it is perfectly acceptable to ask whoever is doing the cutting to change it to "incredibly thin". And there are probably regional differences as well, if I remember correctly in the Sued-Ouest the Jambon di Bayonne is traditionally cut really thick.
Many thanks, greatgatsby
re: greatgatsby
The more strongly seasoned cured hams and charcuteries are usually cut much thinner. It just makes sense seasoning-wise. The Iberian ham and chorizo sold at Oteiza and served chez L'Ami Jean are translucent.
Ditto the prosciutto in Italy. If you eat a thick slice of something so highly seasoned, you get a mouthful of extreme saltiness. I suspect it is sliced extremely thin the same reason sharp cheeses are sliced extremely thin. As I said, just makes sense.
Regular ham has a much less pronounced seasoning, especially good fresh degreased ham that you find at good butchers. If you do not specify, the butcher will slice it thin but not as thin as for smoked ham.
re: Parigi
Parigi, that is a good point and it probably explains a significant part of the variation.
But you know, I tend to think that independent of seasoning the taste of the ham and charcuterie is better the thinner it is sliced. I do not have a good explanation for why that would be the case, physical or chemical, but I bet you to try even with a regular cooked and lean ham, thickly sliced and thinly sliced, and you will be able to detect more flavour from the thinly sliced slices.
re: greatgatsby
I will have to disagree when it comes to foie gras and cooked ham. With the slicing of cured hams, less is more. With cooked ham, less is less. And foie gras ain't a spread. It has to be thought of, and tasted, as a slab of meat. :-)
re: Parigi
"And foie gras ain't a spread. It has to be thought of, and tasted, as a slab of meat. :-)"
That's a good one hahaha
re: Parigi
I think some people here really don't get it when they assume that slicing thicker is a way of extorting more money. Why compare with what other countries do? They don't set a standard. Only the type and quality of product set a standard.
French boiled ham (jambon de Paris) is always sliced a minimum of 2 mm thick because, as you say, it is a mildly-seasoned ham. It is also a bit more watery than cured ham. It should be cut thicker for some preparations "à la parisienne", in which it is diced and mixed with sliced mushrooms and cream.
As a rule hams are sliced a bit thicker in France than in other places. That is because our cured hams (jambon d'Auvergne) are less salty and less cured than Italian, Basque or Spanish hams. With jambon d'Auvergne, there's a "chew", the meat is more elastic and more raw, so if you want it to hold itself you have to slice it 1 to 2 mm thick, sometimes more. And you slice off the whole width of the ham (perpendicular to where the bone should be) not sideways or in a slanted way like Spanish ham or hand-sliced prosciutto.
re: Ptipois
I need to get me some jambon d'Auvergne! I love thick, elastic, raw ham! I sampled some prosciutto at the Salon de l'Agriculture in Feb. from an Italian man that was like that, best I've ever had, so I bought 2 kilos, but the DH ate it all because I started traveling 3 days later. Been dreaming about it ever since.
As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
re: kerosundae
You may want to try Au coeur de l'Auvergne, 21 rue des Martyrs.
In Italy, we found that there is variation and much debate on how prosciutto is served. From our experience in Venice, many of the good restaurants still hand slice their prosciutto from boned in legs. These slices tend to be thicker than that of the more common boneless formed prosciutto that is sliced by a slicer (just about all supermarkets, butchers and deli sell the boneless).. We found that the texture of hand sliced prosciutto has a pleasant chewiness and texture. That is definitely true in Spain as just about every tapas bar and restaurant has a boned in jamon on a carving stand for hand slicing. Same for places that sell it. One never get serve big thin cross slices but rather smaller slices. And in various shops in Paris such as de Rosa and the food hall of Galeries Lafayette, jamon is still hand sliced and thicker. The jamon Iberico are cured much longer and is drier than the Italian prosciutto yet they are served sliced thicker.
The Berkel slicers are the current rage because some feel that the heat from the electric machine melts the fat of the cured ham.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Your point about hand sliced is well taken. That is the reason that many Italians do not prefer paper thin slices of prosciutto. Most of the finest prosciutto and jamon from Spain are cured with the bone in, making them unsuitable for machine slicing.
re: vielleanglaise
Hand sliced with a very thin sharp knife. Prosciutto di Parma is cured only with the bone it. For the boneless version, they remove the bone after it is cured, then reshape and vacuum pack it.

A little bit delayed I'm publishing my income and expenses for the month of October:
Rent (incl. groceries): -€ 1.000,00
Gym membership: -€ 109,00
Garage: € 0,00
Health-insurance: -€ 74,89
LC insurance: -€ 16,57

Vacation: -€ 52,00
Total Expenses: -€ 1.765,88
Income: € 3.726,02
Saving rate: 47,4 %
My expenses in "Rent" category were higher than normally because we had to buy/repair some things in the flat, so my girlfriend and me transferred a little bit of extra money to the shared bank account, where all expenses related to the flat are settled. The other costs are quite normal, except a new category "Mobility" – for the first time since April, when I sold my car, I had to go for a longer distance. So I checked some different possibilities making a 500 km trip. Train was very inflexible and would've cost something around 100 Euros; car rental would have been more flexible but not cheaper so I decided to ask within my family and voilà one of my familymembers wasn't in need of the car for that weekend so I could borrow it almost for free; I just had to pay for gas and as I divided the total costs for that by the people who were in the car, it cost me just 24 Euros. The VISA and vacation expenses are some after-effects from September… in total I'm very happy with the expenses in that month, because even with an unexpected expenditure of 300 Euros my total expenses were not overwhelming shocking.

He has a very big week this week that is his chance to "prove himself", but we are afraid no matter how well he does, it won't be enough. My husband and I have recently found out we are pregnant with twins, and the stress of the uncertainty related to his job is really hurting us. Please pray my husband's current employer will see my husband's improvement and he will retain his job.
