Site Detector Version 2
We have previously stated that we will be rewriting the site detector. We are glad to announce that the new site detector is now live.
The site detector that comes with UltimateDemon, BookmarkingDemon and ArticleDemon, have been totally rewritten. To update to the latest version, simply run the software and click [Download New Version] that is located at the bottom left.
Site Detection v2 uses the same DemonCore engine that powers the submitter. We now have A.I. built into the new version, enabling it to detect different types of sites with better accuracy. You will notice a drastic improvement when it comes to the detection speed.
On top of that, the new site detector now displays more information during the site detection process. You will be well informed on what is really going on.
You can take a look at the new site detector in action:
Do you know that once we have taught the site detector to recognize these new sites, you will be able to detect them without having to update the software at all?
P.S. If you come across any site that is not detectable, let us know and we will teach the A.I. on our end.
P.S.S. If you have any questions, please feel free to open a support ticket at https://support.edwinsoft.net and we will be glad to assist you.
P.S.S.S. Don't forget, we have a forum that you can share your knowledge with other fellow users at http://forum.edwinsoft.com

Hi, I'm impatient to test this new product, I still don't understand its utility :-)
- Sam in Oz on 25 Jun, 2013 07:05 pm commented:
Looking forward to see improvement on accuracy and completeness of this new version.

@Joe Cohen-Solal Site detector is one of the core function in our submission tools that allow our users to add more sites into them. The previous version of the site detector was hitting a bottleneck when it comes to detecting the type of platform that a site belongs to when adding it into the software. This is especially so when it comes to adding Web2.0 platforms that uses the popular opensource scripts such as ELGG.
With the improved detector, we should now be able to see a better success rate with high accuracy when it comes to identifying the type of platform that a site belongs to. :)
@Sam in Oz Thank you. We hope you will like this new improved version. :)

Best regards

@Danny Delicious have made changes to their platform and we have yet to reverse engineer it but it is definitely on our list. :)

As Before You Exit, Orlando, Fla.-based musicians Connor (vocals/guitar), Riley (vocals) and Toby (guitar) harmonize well and write catchy songs. So far they've released a string of independent EPs and singles, including the recent ballad "Soldier" (the video premiered on RadioDisney.com), but there's a full-length album in the works. BYE's current Dangerous Tour teams them with like-minded teenager Trevor Dahl, who hails from Portland, Ore. and goes by the handle Plug In Stereo. They'll hit the Space in Hamden on Tuesday, March 25.

Roses are red,
Nerds sometimes get horny,
But how can we express ourselves
Without rhymes that are corny?
Lately it seems that any budding romantic with fingers and a Facebook account is capable of decrying some form of unrequited love, or a randy apoplexy of pent up sexual aggression. This commentary is not about them. Nor is it about the swathes of semi-literate science students who, between half-rhymes and indecisive 'meter', can craft a stab at a semi-comprehensible chat up line. No we are addressing a far greater issue: that of the self-referential Oxlove or 'Masturboration' as it shall henceforth be known.
Frankly, I don't give a Shelley if your heart burns with the adoration of your 'gals' who 'just wanna have fun, or your sympathy for that one mate who 'is having a really tough time' and will somehow be uplifted from his despondent disposition by a Facebook notification at four in the morning. Nor, I imagine, are many of us mightily entertained by the far greater plague of Oxlove lonely hearts, begging for and in some cases uploading exaltations of their own greatness, like a kind of inferiority complexed Kanye West.
No none for me sir. Let's keep it simple. Let's leave Oxlove for the lovers, Oxfess for the secretly proud and Oxfeud for the eternally embittered Jeremy Corbyn supporters, who no doubt have their own page entitled 'Making Friends at University, a Beginner's Guide'.

Chiquita Brands Has Appeal
The banana giant's shares could rise 20% or more as it refocuses on its core businesses—bananas and packaged salads.
Chiquita Brands International is best known for bananas, but its appeal on Wall Street these days stems from a dramatic restructuring announced last August. The shares are up 40% since management said it would refocus its efforts on two core lines of business: bananas—yes—and packaged salads. This reverses an earlier, unsuccessful diversification into fruit snacks and smoothies.
More upside is ahead. As the company executes its new strategy over the next year, Chiquita's shares (ticker: CQB) could move higher....

BEREA, Ohio (AP) Browns coach Mike Pettine says quarterback Johnny Manziel's winning performance on Sunday will make it tougher to decide who will start when Josh McCown returns from a concussion.
Manziel threw two long touchdown passes in a 28-14 win over Tennessee. The second-year QB has made major progress this season, and Pettine has been pleased with his development aside from four fumbles in the past two games.
Pettine said McCown remains in the NFL's program on head injuries after sustaining a concussion on the opening drive of the season opener against the Jets. Pettine said the Browns coaching staff will meet Monday night and have a ''what if'' discussion about the quarterback situation. He said the bottom line will be which player gives the Browns the best chance to win.

Cleveland will host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

I'm In Love, And For The First Time, It's Easy
Dori Varga
Words and Art by Alexa Piqué
Ever since I could, I've been in love with a man. Ten years; two relationships. During the last ten years, I have been single for 6 months. Being in love was always one of my priorities. I was obsessed with loving someone else, caring for someone else, catering to someone else, worshipping someone else. Yet I never felt full. The men could never love me like I wanted them to, and so there was always something missing.
When I meet people, I tell them that technically I have been in this body for twenty-five years. I am a twenty-five year old Woman. But what I never leave out is that I was born three and a half years ago. I say this because this is when I truly became myself. This is when I awoke, when I began to expand my mind, when I began Ascension. It is no coincidence that this is also when I began an extremely transformative journey with my first Soul Mate.
My Soul Mate changed me, he reached into my body and flicked on a switch, his words branded my skin, his kiss drowned me, his hands engulfed my naked body with such righteousness that I will forever compare a man's touch with his. Our love became so difficult, so passionate, so dramatic, that after three years of being physically together, during a very sweet moment, things became clear to him that it just was not working. I felt it too, only I could never walk away (or so I thought). The pain and dissatisfaction seemed to be a simple thing to deal with, compared to breaking us. Five months after moving to California together, I found myself lugging my suitcase onto a plane that was heading to Canada, and I felt as though I was moving backwards in time.
It has been two months, and I know that we made the right decision. I am finally shedding a skin that was not my own, and I am beginning to really care for myself, developing an intimacy with all that I am. I am containing all of my loving energy and letting it immerse within me. I am feeling myself at all times, becoming One with my Divine Feminine. As I nurture myself, I can feel the seed within me growing. My intuitions are becoming stronger, my power is full of light, and my vibrations are dramatically shifting higher and higher. I feel worthy of it all, I feel beautiful, I feel open.
I am full.
I am born again.
I was born twenty-five years ago, then again three and a half years ago, and I am being born again right now. I am content, yet I know that this is not my last Rebirth. I will always seek growth, working towards full alignment with my Higher Self. The Universe is joining forces with me, allowing all that I want to come towards me, and experiences seem more fulfilling. I love myself in a way that nobody else could.
And it all started when I allowed myself to fall in love with Alexa.

One of my very favorite "family history" projects of all time is this vintage picture table! Pictures, especially vintage pictures that evoke tender feelings of family long gone are meant to be displayed! When my sister found a 1970's round table at a garage sale for just $35...I knew just what to do! Nellie's oldest daughter, my Aunt Helen, an avid supporter of the cottage renovation, had a treasure trove of old family pictures beginning back in the late 1930's when Nellie's & Albert bought the family property. I scanned in the original photos and printed these just as they were...no editing the colors! My son Aaron & wife Janene had the creative job of arranging the photos with Nellie & Albert being in the center. After mom (aka me) approved and tweaked a few, the photos were then adhered to the table with regular photo adhesive.
I had a round glass top cut (fairly expensive at $85) to finish the project. To make the chairs more "cottage-y" these skirts were constructed and added to the chairs with a staple gun.
This poor table has been moved back and forth through that doorway more times than I can count...and trust me, it is not an easy feat, especially with that glass top!
Oh the treats that have graced this table top from showers, parties, and retreats! Round tables are the bomb...I highly recommend one:)
This table has never ceased to delight me with fond memories of those I love. Just tonight our 2 year old granddaughter Madeline asked over and over "whose that?" What a sweet moment to answer her questions.
Of course Madeline doesn't yet understand who these people are, but someday I hope to help her understand the wonderful heritage she has beginning with Nellie & Albert...my grandparents who inspired a retreat venue created from their home...Nellie's Cottage!

Nilsson and Corelli probably stand as the strongest and the most solid "Turandot" pairing since the time the opera was written. I would gather that opera people consider them unchallenged in this opera. To have heard and seen Nilsson and Corelli hurl out those thunderbolt top Bs and Cs was akin to experiencing one of the wonders of the opera world. I was very young at the time, only fifteen, but they did it on tour with the Met in 1961 and we in the audience were blown away. It ranked up there with my opening night of "Semiramide" with Sutherland and Horne ten years later (1971), and lastly, that fabulous concert performance of "Salome" with Nilsson and Solti in 1974. For some reason, those three opera evenings alone stand out in my mind to this day. Could it get any better than that? If so, I can't remember or say for sure.

Today started with our first Flag Ceremony, and fortunately the rain stopped in time. Afterwards we gathered outside Pax Lodge for our official Event photograph. At 9.30am we started our WAGGGS session. Tadeja, Maria and Hannah had prepared a great programme with information and presentations about the different regions, along with games to play from around the world such as Kim's Game and Simbii. Kim's Game featured clip art from Ireland, but alongside the usual shamrock, leprechaun and pint of Guinness, there was a unicorn. We had to explain to a lot of excited international Guides that those didn't actually live in Ireland!
We also learned how to write our names in hieroglyphics and Linda, from the Friends of Pax Lodge Committee, showed us how to make Rakhi bracelets out of wool. We took part in some interesting games and exercises to explore WAGGGS initiatives such as Free Being Me, Stop the Violence, and World Thinking Day.
After a fun (and informative) morning, we set off on a round-London coach tour. We saw all the main sights - Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, statues and war memorials. Our guide, Moira, was full of fascinating facts about the history of London, the Royal family, and England's battles.
Next stop was the London Eye. The weather was clear and the views were absolutely amazing! Afterwards there was a race for ice-cream before we got back on the coach. Moira entertained us with sweets and quiz questions on the drive back to Pax Lodge. We came via Camden where all us girls eyed up the shops for our free time on Wednesday.
Before dinner we had our daily chore duty - this time it was to write up the news report of the day's activities. After dinner, we had a Pax Lodge quiz night. Our teams came first, second and third, so we were really proud! The day went really well and we're making loads of new friends from lots of different places.

We are focussing our research on two connective tissue diseases,
systemic sclerosis and inflammatory myopathy.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease
characterized by widespread vasculopathy, inflammation and fibrosis of skin and
internal organs. This leads to thickening of the skin as well as irreversible
functional impairment of organ function. However the etiology of SSc is unclear
and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease are poorly understood. In
several independent but cooperative projects, we aim to determine molecular
mechanisms that drive the onset and progression of fibrosis in SSc skin or
internal organs.
The term inflammatory myopathy (myositis) comprises a group
of heterogeneous autoimmune diseases which are characterized by the presence of
an inflammatory infiltrate within the muscle tissue. The skin, the
musculoskeletal system, but also internal organs such as lung, heart, or
gastrointestinal tract might also be affected. Thus, those orphan diseases have
a high morbidity and a significantly increased mortality. Current research
efforts in basic science are aimed at the identification of molecular key
players of disease pathogenesis as potential therapeutic targets.

I would like to say that I am ready for the big day; or at least some percentage done, but the truth is that I have yet to buy the first present, and no idea what I will get when I finally shop. Last year I did everything on-line, but I don't have a clue for that either. Hopefully the children (now in their 30s) will give us a list soon. They both say they don't want anything.
The main distraction from Christmas tasks is that we have been feeling less than festive, what with the funerals these last 10 weeks. I haven't even managed to update my new Mac Air, and I had planned to take it to my uncle's house the next time we visited, (to look through the genealogy file) too late now. The only thing I did right is that the last time we visited I took (candid) photos of both of them, almost the only pictures of my uncle, who had an aversion to being photographed. I love them both, there is a hollow space in my heart from their loss.
We rented a storage site, to help with sorting our possessions into "keep" ("donate" and "pitch"). The pitch ones are in the garage right now, they will go into the truck for a trip (or trips) to the landfill. I feel bad, but there is so much that is far outdated. All the computers and peripherals will go to a reclamation site for recycling, but the rest will just be pitched. When we stripped out the old barn when the new barn was finished, we rented a dumpster for a month. When they came to pick it up, the contents were above the top and had to be-positioned before they would take it away. Where does this all come from??!! Of course, we buy it, and then don't throw out the earlier version.
Thought for the day : "I can't be over the hill, I'm too tired to climb up."

One of the joys of HG/BSK's years in the magical Canadian city of Vancouver was companionship with Jamie S., a charming young man who shared HG/BSK's love of the good life. When Jamie was a neighbor (he in an extraordinary multi-level condo with a rooftop deck enhanced by skyscraper and mountain views; HG/BSK in an adjacent cutting edge steel and glass townhouse), Jamie was often HG/BSK's Friday night at home dinner companion. BSK would prepare an extraordinary spatchcocked chicken or Berkshire pork chops. Jamie would bring wine and his selection was always flawless. In recent years, Jamie had the good luck to find an ideal partner, the very chic and graceful Karen. HG dined happily with Jamie and Karen during a visit to Vancouver last year (Karen prepared a very delicious and original meal at her home. Topped the very good meals we had in some new Vancouver restaurants). Good news this week. Jamie and Karen were in Phoenix for a business show and drove to New Mexico for a two day visit. Food highlight of the joyous reunion was dinner at Santa Fe's Compound Restaurant. The quartet of gourmands decided upon a variety of small plates ordered from the bar menu. These were the dishes: Tuna tartare; Seared sea scallops with Brussels sprouts and crisp apple slices; Fettucine lobster carbonara; Wild mushrooms and stone ground polenta; Buttermilk fried onion rings; Butter sautéed Chantarelle mushrooms. Jamie selected a chilled Gruet sparkling wine and a flavorful Chianti. Desserts were olive oil cake and pear tart with lush house-made ice creams. An evening of fun. Made HG/BSK eager for another reunion in Vancouver this spring.

French Restaurants
November 15th, 2015 § 2 comments § permalink
The following post was written before the Paris terrorist attacks. As HG has noted in HG's comments about Paris and the recent horrors ("PARIS"), HG/BSK will never abandon France and Paris. To do so would hand victory to terrorists.
The great writer, AJ. Liebling (his war journalism, restaurant and Paris recollections, press criticism, accounts of boxing matches, portraits of raffish characters are incomparable examples of wit, insight and erudition), once compared the attitude of a gourmand to his (or her) next meal to that of a lover contemplating an assignation. First, there is anticipation. Then, there is consummation. And, then there is sweet memory. HG is now in the anticipation stage as HG contemplates dining in the lovely French city of Reims where HG/BSK will be spending Thanksgiving week. HG/BSK; daughter Lesley R.; son-in-law Massimo R. and granddaughter Arianna R. have booked a three bedroom apartment there (plus a spacious auto). Granddaughter Sofia R. is in her first year of international studies at the university in Reims so this will be a jolly family reunion and an occasion for festive feasting. The proliferation of restaurant websites has made meal anticipation easeful and rewarding. HG has been studying the menus of the restaurants Massimo has selected for the visit (he has been in Reims before so he is well informed). Happily, prices are lower than Paris and the array of champagnes is extraordinary (Reims is in the heart of champagne country). Restaurants offer a splendid array of oysters (HG will accompany them with flutes of bubbly). Happily, the restaurants Massimo has selected offer a plethora of the old fashioned French dishes that HG adores: Charolais steak tartare; sole meuniere; tete de veau; ham and parsley terrine; escargots; rare rib steak with pommes frites; profiteroles; baba au rhum; creme brûlée, etc. On the websites, HG has encountered dishes he never had in French bistros and brasseries. A casserole of monkfish with mushrooms, for example. So, there will be a bit of adventurous dining. And, happily, HG will be back in French restaurants with their professional service, flattering lighting and unique ambience. Be assured, gracious readers, HG will be posting full accounts.

Sad, shocking news from Paris. Hopefully, HG/BSK will be in France next week and intend to spend at least one day in Paris. To abandon France and Paris is handing victory to terror. HG/BSK will follow the example of SJ and Victoria Freeman. Those New Yorkers did not abandon New York after 9/11. For almost 50 years, HG has thought of Paris as another home. HG has delighted in everything the City of Light symbolizes. Magnificent architecture. Rewarding strolling. Art. Joy of life (including sex, conversation, people watching and cafe sitting). Food and dining in every manifestation. Lively bistros and brasseries. Incomparable cheese. Modestly priced wine. Baguettes and croissants. Oysters. Steak tartare. Etc., Etc., Etc. and more Etceteras. Everything made more delicious by the unique ambiance of Paris. Neighborhoods with identity like Marais, Montmartre, St. Germain. The elegance of Parisiennes. The stylishness of male Parisians.Both sexes flaunting creatively tied scarves. Politeness (the obligatory "Bon jour.") As HG/BSK watched the television images of the massacres and listened to the commentaries, horror was mixed with joyous memories of incomparable Paris. The terrorists are making war on civilization and nothing is more symbolic of civilization than Paris. The brutal madmen will be defeated and Paris (and civilization) will survive.
Sicily And Sardines
November 12th, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink
Some years ago, HG/BSK toured Sicily with daughter Lesley R., her husband, Profesore Massimo and Granddaughters Arianna and Sofia (then little girls but showing signs of their future brilliance and beauty). HG/BSK had the very good fortune to have Massimo as the tour leader and guide. Professor of Italian Studies at Brown University, he is learned in almost every aspect of Italian culture. And, he grew up in the Sicilian city of Siracusa. Best of all, in HG's point of view, Massimo combines learning with a good appetite and a knowledgeable appreciation of Italian cuisine. Thus, the group combined visits to the spectacular ruins of Greek temples and other architectural and natural sights, with extraordinary dining. In raucous colorful Palermo, HG tasted voluptuous linguine with sea urchin roe at a seaside restaurant. In a smoky hole in the wall in the center of the city, HG was introduced to the wonders of fried brains, spleen and other innards. And, in the teeming streets HG tasted mysterious treats dispensed by itinerant vendors. While driving, there were many roadside lunches under the Sicilian sun on the outdoor terraces of hillside trattorias. The pasta dishes with eggplant sauces were a revelation. Instead of customary cheese and fruit, the group ended some meals with an array of the justifiably famous Sicilian pastries. In Massimo's hometown of Siracusa, a trip to the wonderfully preserved Roman amphitheater was followed by bowls of spaghetti with seppie (cuttlefish) plus grilled seppie with peppers and tomatoes. Siracusa is a 2,700 year old city. It was one of the most important cities of Europe during its Grecian period, rivaled only by Athens. Romans, Arabs and other occupiers left their marks on Siracusa. A wondrous city, indeed. After Siracusa, HG/BSK left the family behind and journeyed to the spectacular city of Taormina and its scenic location atop a hillside overlooking the Ionian Sea. On the east coast of Sicily, it has long been one the world's most favored summer vacation destinations (much loved by Goethe and scores of other poets, novelists and painters). Its colorful art colony and its many gay visitors (Truman Capote, Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, Tennessee Williams, etc.) gave it a reputation of being "Sodom by the sea." Today, it's know for its luxurious hotels and chic shopping promenade. The architectural gem of Taormina is Teatro Greco, a horseshoe shaped theater (built by the Greeks and Romans) that seems suspended between the sea and the sky. Woody Allen used it as the setting for a Greek chorus in his 1995 movie, Mighty Aphrodite. The sea view from HG/BSK's hotel room terrace was unforgettable as was the pasta with sardines HG/BSK happily consumed in the hotel dining room. The pasta — which contained raisins, pignolia nuts and saffron in addition to sardines — was a living illustration of the Arab influence on Sicilian cuisine. Last night, BSK brought a touch of Sicily to New Mexico by making a stunning platter of linguine with sardines. The dish started with a sofrito of olive oil, anchovies, garlic, shallots, capers, chopped parsley and tomatoes plus a squeeze of tomato paste and a dash of wine vinegar. When the sofrito had simmered into mellowness, BSK mixed it with the al dente linguine and a bit of pasta water. The dish was then topped with chopped, raw and ripe tomatoes plus black Kalamata olives and Portuguese sardines. The tinned sardines, ordered online from Zingerman's, the renowned Ann Arbor food merchant, are the best sardines in the world. Thick, meaty, flavorful filets. BSK's dish topped the Taormina version.
The Perfect Meal? (Redux)
November 10th, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink
Monday was Nov. 9, 2015. It was HG's birthday. 86. That's right. 86. Never believed it would be possible to reach such an august age. However, Hungry Gerald is also Greedy Gerald. HG wants more. And, who can blame the old guy? HG has the best wife, children, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. HG lives in two of the best places on earth–New Mexico and Prince Edward Island. And, of course, Toby, The Wonder Dog, is an endearing companion. Recently, HG posted a modest essay: THE PERFECT MEAL? (Check it out). Well, ever thoughtful BSK has decided to honor the birthday lad by replicating the meal tonight, A very big rib steak, Gorgonzola salad plus two other elements: orzo with onions and oyster mushrooms plus French brie and a ripe, lush comice pear. Sommellier BSK sourced two splendid red wines for dinner: The Velvet Devil Merlot and Kiona Vineyards Mountain Lemburger. Both from Washington State, HG's favorite wine growing region. HG is not only Hungry Gerald aka Greedy Gerald. HG is Lucky Gerald.
Lucky Peach
November 9th, 2015 § 2 comments § permalink
Lucky Peach describes itself as a "cult food magazine" born out of Chef David Chang's Momofuku empire. The magazine has published its first cookbook: Lucky Peach presents 101 Easy Asian Recipes. The book is a winner. Don't miss it. Peter Meehan is the writer. He is one of HG's favorites, a very down to earth guy with a delightful wit. Loves food (and drink). With HG daughter Victoria and Victoria's husband/chef Marc Meyer, Meehan authored Brunch: 100 Recipes From Five Points Restaurant, published by Rizzoli. In the Lucky Peach book, the recipes he presents, created by the Lucky Peach editors, reflect the realities of present day life: "We chose favorite dishes and recipes that were naturally simple. We tried to put together a folio of kitchen ideas you can turn to for easy eating on a real-life schedule and budget." There are cold dish appetizers — "Chineasy Cucumber Salad" and "Silken Tofu Snack" are two. Great group of Asian pancakes including "Apam Balik", a semi-sweet treat that utilizes brown sugar, corn and chopped peanuts. Lots of soups including "Slow Cooker Pho." HG's faves are the vegetable dishes featuring asparagus, string beans, celery, bok choy, eggplant, etc. HG/BSK will be doing lots of all vegetable dinners (plus a pot of rice) using these recipes. And, when feeling carnivorous, HG/BSK will dig into Meehan's "Cumin Lamb." Chinese egg noodles and a bottle of California Cabernet will accompany.

HG misses a certain type of codified New York City hangout for journalists, writers, poets and theater people. The species was exemplified by Elaine's on Second Avenue where Woody Allen and scores of writers and performers received special treatment from the owner, Elaine Kaufman. The food was indifferent but HG enjoyed Elaine's rough edged charm. Like HG, Elaine was a product of The Bronx and HG often greeted her with the soubriquet: "Elaine, the shapely Evander Childs alumna." (Evander Childs being the name of a Bronx high school) She died in 2011 and the place was refurbished under new owners. Don't believe it has recaptured the old ambiance. HG was lucky to spend some time with Elaine (some months before her death) at Le Veau d' Or, the old time French bistro on E. 61st Street. HG had just finished lunching with SJ when Elaine came in. The two New York oldsters had some laughs and much cognac drinking. She, like her eatery, was an original. Pre-dating Elaine's was Costello's, a bar on Third Avenue and 44th Street. It opened when the El rumbled overhead and became a favorite with the staff of the New Yorker and their pals. Became a tourist attraction after James Thurber paid a Depression-era bar bill, by painting a 24 foot by 24 foot mural of his "War of the Sexes." A.J.Leibling, Ernest Hemingway and John O'Hara drank there. According to legend, Hemingway broke his walking stick over O'Hara's head. Details are sketchy. Like many good things in New York, Costello's was demolished to make way for an office skyscraper. The mural disappeared. An art world mystery. Cedar Bar (never called Cedar Tavern) has disappeared from Greenwich Village's University Place. It was the hangout of Motherwell, De Kooning, Pollock, Kline, Rothko and other distinguished artists (they were just gaining renown in the 50's and 60's). They were a hard drinking crowd much prone to fisticuffs. Lee Krasner, Pollock's widow and a wonderful painter in her own right, said of the habitués: "They treated women like cattle." HG would take HG's little daughter, Victoria ,there on Saturday afternoon outings. HG would drink martinis and Victoria, perched on the bar, would eat peanuts and smile at her adult admirers. Presumably, Victoria's early exposure to restaurants and strong drink has spurred her and chef/husband, Marc Meyer, to own and run four highly regarded New York restaurants: Cookshop, Vic's, Hundred Acres and Rosie's. Another Village hangout of artists, writer and poets (namely Dylan Thomas), was the White Horse Tavern on Hudson Street. Became famous for the presence of Thomas and Delmore Schwartz. Legend has it that Thomas consumed 18 shots of whiskey before walking (or stumbling) to his death.Though strongly identified with Thomas, it was actor Charles Laughton who made it famous. He would give away White Horse beer mugs to friends and fans. White Horse is still operating. Not very literary or poetic, it's favored by college students. Best of the Village hangouts catering to journalists and writers, was the Lion's Head on Christopher Street. Pete Hamill, Jimmy Breslin, Joe Flaherty, Frank McCourt, Norman Mailer, Sidney Zion, Vic Ziegel, Dennis Duggan and many others hung there. (An aside: Duggan reported for the New York Times and Newsday and was a fount of New York lore. HG was disturbed by Duggan's unhealthy lifestyle and lured him to a gym on E. 45th Street where HG was a regular. Dennis didn't like the mandatory exercises or the spartan atmosphere. After ten minutes, he said: "Okay. I came to your lousy gym. Can I have a drink now?") The Lion's Head closed some years ago but there's now a Lion's Head on Amsterdam Avenue much frequented by Columbia students. When HG was a journalist in the early 1950's, HG spent much time at Artists & Writers (always called Bleeck's) on W. 41st street near the offices of the old New York Herald-Tribune. Served very good German food and the convivial Trib journalists loved playing "the match game." Lucius Beebe, the society columnist and elegant dandy, played with three custom made golden matches nestled in a velvet case. A class act. All of this has been swept away by time. Still functioning is Sardi's, the theater restaurant a few blocks north of Artists & Writers. The endearing Vincent Sardi is gone and the food has gone downhill. A shadow of its former self. Lindy's, Stage Delicatessen, Carnegie Delicatessen in the West 50's, is where you found comics, song writers, press agents, bookmakers, gamblers. Lindy's and Stage are gone and the Carnegie flourishes, selling overstuffed pastrami sandwiches to tourists. Russian Tea Room on W. 57th Street is where the classical music and ballet communities gathered as well as famous actors, producers and directors. HG once saw Jackie Onassis and Mike Nichols enjoying the Wednesday special, Siberian Pelmenyi. (this was a type of small ravioli served in strong chicken broth reinforced with mustard and sour cream). RTR is now an overpriced, over fancy place that has lost its luster. The hip Russian Tea Room crowd shifted to the Cafe Edison, a down to earth eatery in the Hotel Edison. The cooking was down home New York Jewish and the customers called the Cafe "The Polish Tea Room." Alas, it closed this year, another victim of the real estate steamroller. HG imagines that the new generations of writers and painters and actors have their own places to drink and revel in the New New York, but HG doesn't know them and can only hope they have as much fun in them as HG had in his own time.

There are some tasty, old fashioned dishes that are always a pleasure to revisit. Meat loaf, for example. There are scores of recipes but HG thinks BSK's version is the best. The late Nora Ephron, a witty writer and a stylish hostess, was famed in her theatrical-cinema-literary circle for a splendid meat loaf. HG never tasted it but has enjoyed BSK's many times. Here's how BSK does it: Mixes chopped beef, pork and veal (lamb if veal not available) with eggs, Panko crumbs, parsley, basil, shallots, Aleppo pepper and salt. And, since HG/BSK reside in New Mexico, world center of great roasted green chiles, BSK adds some of these to the mix for a El Norte blast of flavor. When formed into a loaf, the mix is girdled with slices of thick bacon and popped in the oven for 90 minutes. The meat loaf emerges brown and juicy nestled in a pool of savory juices. BSK serves it with mushroom sauce and quinoa. HG is fond of spicy condiments so devours the meat loaf with nibbles of chipotle peppers and splashes of Frank's Hot Ketchup. Meat loaf leftovers are fine reheated for dinner the next night and make splendid sandwiches. HG's favorite: Sliced meat loaf on pumpernickel bread with raw onion, coarse salt and Heinz Ketchup. Only good restaurant meat loaf HG ever tasted was at the Trinity Grille in downtown Denver. This was a veal meat loaf swimming in a dark brown onion gravy. Creamy mashed potatoes was the appropriate companion.
Ida Kopkind Freeman
November 2nd, 2015 § 1 comment § permalink
HG's late Mom was a short, hefty woman with a big bosom and an ample bottom. Her marriage to HG's father was not ideal but they remained married for more than a half century. For immigrant Jews of her generation divorce was non-existent. Chaika (later anglicized to "Ida") Kopkind, was born in Plestyanitz, a "shtetl" (a Jewish village) in the Minsk province of Belorussia. She was one of three sisters in a family of seven children. Ida, her sister Feigel ("Fanny") and brother Shmuel ("Samuel") emigrated to the United States in the early 1900's. Some of the family died in the pogroms and disruptions following the Russian revolution and the ensuing civil war. The rest were murdered by the Nazis during World War Two. There is no trace of her family left in Russia. (HG's father's family, the Freimann family [later anglicized to "Freeman"] fared better. A few members survived including a very old man who recalled HG's father by his boyhood nickname, "Grisha".) Ida loved the lively Lower East Side of New York where she lived in a tenement with another immigrant young woman, Maryasha ("Marie"). From her earliest childhood, Ida was nimble with a needle and thread (later a sewing machine). She found employment as a sewing machine "operator" in a clothing factory and her speed and skill gave her a reasonable income doing piece work. (Some of her unlucky friends died in the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, an event that galvanized the Jewish immigrants and led to the unionization of the garment industry). When Ida married Harry Freeman, a skilled cutter in a woman's coat factory, the young couple moved away from the teeming Lower East Side to the healthier neighborhoods of The Bronx. And, that's where they raised a family and lived for the great majority of their lives. HG's Mom was a master of household skills. She had the powerful energy needed in those days of low incomes and no labor saving devices. The HG home was always surgically clean. Laundry was done by hand and dried on clothes lines. Socks were darned and clothing rips were repaired. Mom made shirts, dresses, night gowns on her busy Singer Sewing Machine as well as curtains, table cloths, slip covers, bed covers, etc. She prepared robust food for the HG family of five. The cuisine was Eastern European/Jewish Great stuffed cabbage and chopped liver. Incomparable gefilte fish. Borscht. Schav. Chicken soup with matzo balls. Brisket and gravy.The best blintzes ever. Stuffed derma (a chicken neck stuffed with matzo meal, onions, garlic and spices). Knaidlach (hefty matzo meal dumplings). Mom pickled herring, made her own noodles, baked apple pies, honey cake, rugelach. Ginger and honey glazed pastries were little HG's favorite. The only vegetable HG recalls was a carrot dish called "tzimmes". (carrot shavings were baked in a casserole with honey, ginger and cinnamon). Sorry, there were other vegetables. So terrible, HG has blanked them from memory (almost). A big bargain at a local supermarket were "mystery" cans. These were canned foods that had been knocked about and lost their identifying labels. They cost pennies. Mom believed she had a secret talent. She would shake the cans. From the sound she would determine if they contained dessert choices–canned peaches, plums, cherries, prunes. She was often correct but often erred. That meant she opened a can at dessert time. Unfortunately, it might contain brussels sprouts or lima beans. Depression era. Waste not. Want not. The family ate these cold vegetables for dessert. Mom rendered lots of chicken fat and the flavorful stuff played a big role in her cooking. There was a brief, unhappy period when Mom served "American health" food. She was influenced by a radio program, "You Are What You Eat," hosted by nutrition expert Dr. Victor Lindlahr. Fortunately, under pressure from family protests, the good chicken fat cuisine resumed. Ida did not shower little HG with praise. Mrs. Brownstein, HG's first grade teacher, told Mom at an obligatory school visit, that HG was a brilliant, gifted child. Mom's response: "So, if you're so smart you should help out around the house. And, you should learn to tie your shoelaces so you don't trip." Later, when HG was 11, the young fellow competed in the Americana Quiz, a history contest held in New York's elementary schools. HG was judged best in The Bronx so was eligible to compete for The Best In New York Prize with four other young contenders, one each from Staten Island, Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The event was held in the studio of WNYC, the New York City radio station and hosted by the city's colorful Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, "The Little Flower." HG's Mom was in the audience. HG came in second, beaten by a smart little girl from Brooklyn. The Mayor shook HG's hand, praised his effort, and gave him the second prize, an American history book by Charles A. Beard. Mom's comment: "So, why didn't you win?" HG discussed this incident and others relating to his Mom with a Freudian psychoanalyst. Her mysteries were only partially revealed.
The Anchovy
November 1st, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink
Recently, HG ordered Caesar Salad at a Santa Fe restaurant. The waiter asked: "Would you like it without anchovies?" HG was dismayed. After all, a Caesar Salad is unthinkable without the delicious salty addition of anchovies. But, the waiter was only doing his duty. There are many people who detest the salty oiliness of anchovies. HG loves anchovies, both unadorned and as a flavor enhancer of many foods. HG thought about the magical anchovy as HG enjoyed BSK's sublime version of penne with broccoli. Here's how BSK does it. First, BSK cuts short lengths of the broccoli stems. Not the very tough ends but the green, slimmer portion of the stems. They go into a food processor with shallots, parsley and garlic. This miix is then gently cooked in a sauce pan with olive oil and a goodly amount of chopped anchovy. The savory sofrito is thinned with pasta water after the penne is barely al dente and completes its cooking in the pan with slightly firm broccoli florets The dish is topped with chopped ripe tomatoes and mozzarella cheese (heated for a minute or two until the cheese softens). A sprinkle of red pepper flakes. The anchovies don't give the dish a fishy overtone.Instead, they sharpen all the other flavors. Anchovies perform this function in many other dishes. (HG is very fond of pizza topped with anchovies). The French often lard a leg of lamb (gigot) with anchovies. Haven't tried it but HG gathers the anchovies bring flavor to the lamb without overwhelming it and create the basis for a tasty sauce. One of HG's favorite appetizers is anchovies with roasted red peppers as prepared in New York's old time Italian restaurants. The peppers were roasted over an open flame until the skins were blackened. Popped in a paper bag for a few moments (the steaming in the bag makes it easier to remove the skins). Marinated for a bit with olive oil and a dash of vinegar. Served with a topping of anchovies. Best version was served by a long gone Italian restaurant on E. Houston Street (Lombardi's?).They also served Mozarella en Carozza (breaded and fried cubes of mozzarella) with an anchovy sauce and Bagna Cauda (a warm dip of olive oil, butter, anchovies and garlic in which you dipped raw vegetables). Anchovy shopping advice from HG. There are heavily salted anchovies sold from barrels in a few older New York Italian grocers in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They have to be soaked in many changes of water to make them edible. Not worth it. Instead, buy jarred Italian anchovies. Don't buy tinned anchovies. HG has enjoyed "Alici" in Italy. These are fresh, uncured anchovies with a mild taste. "Boquerones," pale, unsalted anchovies pickled in vinegar are a staple at Spanish tapas bars. Dried anchovies are often used as a flavor base in many Japanese stocks — including Ramen. HG's very beautiful granddaughter, Arianna R., was an elementary school student in Venice. School lunches are a serious matter in Italy. Her teacher deplored Arianna's small appetite and said her minimal eating would make her look like an "acciughe" (anchovy). Today, the young woman has a robust appetite but retains a slim silhouette. Must be metabolism.

The Food and Drug Administration approved a new treatment yesterday for hospital patients with serious bacterial infections, including those resistant to most other antibiotics.
The new drug, called Tygacil, is from the first new class of antibiotics to be marketed in several years. The manufacturer, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, said the intravenous drug will be used as a first-line treatment for stomach and skin infections and is effective against enough different bacteria to be used before doctors know which ones are causing the infection.
"Community and hospital-acquired infections have the real potential to become a major public health crisis," said Evan Loh, a Wyeth vice president. "The need for more antibiotics is acute."
The announcement was welcomed by doctors, especially those who are regularly confronted with bacterial infections that are resistant to existing antibiotics.
"It's very difficult to know how to treat and manage badly infected patients today," said Scott R. Schell, a professor of surgery at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. "For the worst infections and sickest patients there are few options, so any new treatment is very appreciated."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that every year 2 million Americans acquire infections while in hospitals, and 90,000 die. About 70 percent of the hospital infections are resistant to at least one class of antibiotics.
The new drug is from a class of medicines called glycylcyclines, which is related to the tetracycline class. The two are different enough, however, that Tygacil can be used to treat infections that are resistant to tetracycline, said Janice Soreth, director of the FDA's division of anti-infective drugs.
Soreth also said the approval marked an important advance because "it's another option, another choice out there, and there are a limited number of options."
Developing new antibiotics is time-consuming and expensive, and drug companies have been slow to come up with new types in recent years. Wyeth officials said yesterday that the molecule that became Tygacil was first synthesized in 1992, and clinical development began in 1997.
"Few broad-spectrum antibiotic agents are currently in development," the company said in a statement. "Antibiotic development has slowed to the point that FDA has had few opportunities to approve new agents. In fact, development and approvals of new antibacterial agents have decreased by 56 percent over the past 20 years."
Although new antibiotics have been few and far between, the use of existing drugs has grown markedly in both human medicine and to treat and promote the growth of farm animals. Because bacteria will eventually grow resistant to any antibiotic they encounter frequently, the pool of resistant bacteria is expanding fast.
Schell, who spoke on a Wyeth teleconference but said he had no relationship to the company, said Tygacil is especially welcome because it can defeat a number of broadly resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and because it is effective against a wide range of bugs, including E. coli.
"It's important to get the right antibiotic because if you don't choose right the first time, the patient does poorly," he said. It can take one to two days of laboratory work to determine exactly what bacteria is causing an infection.
The company said it is exploring other uses for the drug, including fighting pneumonia and some pediatric infections.
