This gets a delicious lift from lemon in the butter, in the gravy, and under the skin, plus a shortcut for "preserved" lemons.
- Yield
- Makes 10 to 12 servings
- Lemon-Herb Butter:
- 1 large lemon
- 1 small head of garlic
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh fennel fronds
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large pinch of powdered saffron or saffron threads
- Turkey:
- 1 14- to 16-pound turkey, rinsed, patted dry inside and out; neck, heart, and gizzard reserved for Shortcut Turkey Stock
- 3 lemons, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
- 10 fresh Italian parsley sprigs
- 6 fresh sage sprigs
- 6 fresh fennel fronds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups Shortcut Turkey Stock or water
- Gravy:
- 2 cups (or more) Shortcut Turkey Stock
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fennel fronds
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche* (optional)
- For lemon-herb butter:
- Make 4 long 1/2-inch-deep cuts in lemon. Place in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high 2 minutes. Place garlic head in medium microwave-safe bowl; add enough water to cover garlic. Cover bowl and microwave on high until soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic to work surface; cool and peel.
- Pour any lemon juice from bowl into small cup. Cut lemon in half and squeeze juice into same cup; reserve juice for gravy. Scrape all fruit and pith from inside peel halves; discard insides. Chop peel. Blend peel and garlic in mini processor until finely chopped. Add butter and all remaining ingredients; process to blend. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to bowl. Cover lemon juice and lemon-herb butter separately; chill. Bring butter to room temperature before using. WELL PRESERVED: The microwave method for the lemon is a neat trick. It's a two-minute way to make fresh-tasting Moroccan-style "preserved" lemons (which usually take from one week to one month to cure). TEST-KITCHEN TIP: Fennel fronds, those delicate, feathery, dark-green leaves rising from the fresh fennel bulb, are jampacked with fennel flavor. At the market, look for fennel bulbs that still have the fronds attached (you'll find that some bulbs have been too closely trimmed).
- For turkey:
- Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 325°F. Transfer 2 tablespoons lemon-herb butter to small bowl; reserve for gravy. Sprinkle main turkey cavity with salt and pepper and spread with 2 tablespoons lemon butter. Starting at neck end of turkey, carefully slide hand between skin and meat of breast, thighs, and upper drumsticks to loosen skin. Spread lemon butter over thigh and drumstick on both sides. Arrange a few lemon slices under skin. Spread remaining butter over breast meat; place lemon slices atop butter under skin. Fill main cavity with any remaining lemon slices, parsley and sage sprigs, and fennel fronds. Tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Tuck wing tips under.
- Place turkey on rack set in large roasting pan. Rub outside of turkey all over with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour stock into pan. Roast turkey until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F to 170°F, about 3 hours. Tilt turkey so juices from main cavity run into pan. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent very loosely with foil; let rest at least 30 minutes (internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve pan.
- For gravy:
- Scrape juices and browned bits from reserved roasting pan into large glass measuring cup. Spoon off fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. Add enough stock to juices to measure 1 2/3 cups.
- Heat reserved 2 tablespoons fat in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot; sauté 2 minutes. Add flour; whisk until golden, about 4 minutes. Add degreased pan juices and 2 cups stock. Bring to boil, whisking until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer until gravy is reduced to desired consistency, about 4 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons reserved lemon butter, 2 tablespoons reserved lemon juice, lemon peel, and sugar, then herbs. Whisk in crème fraîche, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- *Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.

Gareth Hoskins Architects has brought cohesion and crowds to the National Museum of Scotland but the price to pay is heavy, writes Richard Murphy. Photography by Andrew Lee and Paul Riddle
When I arrived in Edinburgh in 1978, a fellow student helpfully explained the difference between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Edinburgh, he said was a magnificent city with no important buildings, whereas Glasgow was a straightforward gridiron plan with some amazing, world-famous buildings.
Armed with this information, I walked across Chambers Street and into what must be the exception to his sweeping rule. The Royal Scottish Museum, designed in 1861 by the naval architect Captain Francis Fowke, was Scotland's response to the splendour of London's Crystal Palace.
The main atrium is perhaps Edinburgh's one truly great indoor urban space and is placed, unusually, not in the centre of the plan but parallel to Chambers Street, separated by internal stone colonnades. The atrium itself is ringed with two storeys of delicate cast iron galleries, so that views between the street and interior are seen through an intriguing veil of columns, with a spectacular rooflight above. Although the upper levels are sometimes used for display, the main atrium level is primarily a gigantic foyer, leading to four smaller triple-height galleries, which were originally also top-lit.
Placed at piano nobile level, the museum is accessed from a cascade of steps on the exterior, which enter at three-quarters level, only to pause at the colonnade before continuing to the centre of the main atrium. Last month, a major reworking of the museum, undertaken by Glasgow-based Gareth Hoskins Architects, opened to the public.
The building started life as a museum for Edinburgh University (to which it is still linked by a disused Bridge of Sighs). It became the Royal Scottish Museum in 1888, and is, in London terms, the British, Natural History, Science and V&A Museums all rolled into one. Undistinguished extensions of a lecture theatre, offices and a secondary entrance were bolted to the south side of the building in the 20th century, but the main event of recent times was Benson + Forsyth's Museum of Scotland next door, a tour de force that opened in 1998 (AJ 07.05.98).
These two museums, each with its own entrance but interlinked inside, attempted to hold separate identities, the subtleties of which were mostly lost on the public. These two institutions have now come together to form the National Museum of Scotland.
The 1998 museum, with its clever integration of the objects within Benson + Forsyth's space, only illustrated how neglected the original building had become, with its tired displays and ad hoc alterations.
Gareth Hoskins Architects and exhibition designer Ralph Appelbaum were appointed to work on the museum in 2004. They began an ambitious study that culminated in a 15-year masterplan, a feature of which is the partial pedestrianisation of Chambers Street, an idea first mooted by Benson + Forsyth.
The Museum, closed for three years while renovations took place, has now reopened to great fanfare. Although only two of the four main atria have been completed, a rolling programme will eventually bring the other two up to the same standard. However, the alterations have gone much further than might have been expected.
Two new entrances, placed symmetrically either side of the original, take visitors at street level into what were once the basement stores. These now form a stone-vaulted entrance space that mirrors the atrium plan above, with a bistro, shop and information point.
Two new staircases emerge from under the cast iron balcony on the south side of the building and pass into the atrium. The atrium has been repaved and the cafe and rather popular fishponds removed. One or two objects have been placed here, but the main display is a lucky dip of unrelated objects stretching from basement to ceiling along the entire south wall of the atrium.
There has been a satisfying removal of ageing plasterboard partitioning, revealing the original architecture of the building. Most dramatic of all is the opening up of a new route on the museum's north-south axis. It connects the original entrance with the secondary entrance, displaying the original arches by completely removing the 1930s rear staircase. Before the alterations, most visitors failed to venture up to the upper galleries, but two new escalators placed sequentially within this route should rectify this.
I toured the building in the company of the museum's director, Gordon Rintoul and Gordon Gibb of Gareth Hoskins Architects on a wet, school holiday lunchtime about a week after the re-opening. It was mobbed. I have never seen a museum anywhere in the world so thronged with people. But after the children have gone back to school and the PR-induced honeymoon period is over, one needs to assess what changes have been made and why. Most controversial must surely be the new entrances.
According to Gareth Hoskins Architects, it was only late in the day that the Museum decided to close the original entrance, although Rintoul says it will still open on special occasions. It would have been naive to think they would keep the main door open – a visitor would now bypass all the new facilities if they used it.
The director says surveys showed that level access would bring more visitors. Obviously people will vote for 'no steps' over 'steps', but the old steps, 'now used much more for seating', according to Rintoul, lead nowhere. Indeed, the architectural price is a heavy one to pay as the entire logic of the front facade – one of the largest designed facades in Edinburgh – has been completely overturned.
Even if one accepts the main move, the way that the new entrances have been punched through the rusticated base is questionable. During the day they are non-events and shuttered by night they resemble a row of garage doors. As part of the forthcoming pedestrianisation project, the stairs could have instead been completely remodelled to make the entrance more appealing.
The new foyer space is very generous and it is always interesting to see the roughness of the behind-the-scenes architecture of a great building. But one is left asking, is it appropriate to enter such a magnificent building through refurbished cellars? Yet, having made this move, the next major decision is how to penetrate the space above.
The two staircases tempt the visitor with a hidden source of light but their timid design and apologetic location within the atrium contrasts with the magnificence of the space they reveal. The original entrance sequence gave a sense of arrival; now one is made to feel as if one is entering via the servants' stairs. Think of Gunnar Asplund's incredible promenade from the street to the very heart of the Stockholm Library and you can imagine what might have been, with the two spaces perhaps joined or the front colonnade used.
Having arrived, the purpose of the original atrium is not obvious; without the fishponds and cafe it seems bereft of function other than to act as a form of circulation to the galleries, so instead of one very generous entrance hall we now have two involving considerable expense and engineering finesse. Nonetheless, the new route to the southern entrance is certainly an inspired move, with direct access to the lecture theatre and a glimpse of light at the end.
The new interactive displays seem popular and tread carefully between entertainment and education. Vulnerable items have been protected at the cost of blacking out the rooflights of three atria, rather than using a more local solution and although the atria are arranged thematically there is no vertical circulation within them, as Rintoul believed stairs would spoil the spaces.
Radical surgery to important historic buildings is always controversial. In the UK, and especially in Scotland, there seems to be a belief that the more important the building the more discreet the alteration should be.
At first sight that seems a reasonable approach, but I believe the opposite to be the case. If major surgery is required (and here I am unconvinced that it actually was) then it needs to be full-blooded and designed to a very high standard. These new alterations seem to arise from a confused agenda and, almost inevitably, suffer not from their radicalism but rather from their timidity and a misplaced deference towards the original structure.

Readers' comments (2)
mmm..........apart from the removal of the fish, having visited I think that the big moves work well.
My kids loved the main hall, I thought it impressive and for the first time I was interested to move up to the upper floors.
I have to agree with Richard.
The original stairs should have been removed or remodelled to create an appropriately scaled entrance to the new sequence of spaces.
Leaving that magnificent and generous flight of stairs without any real function seems somehow insulting to the clarity of the original building, and slightly undermines the good things happening elsewhere in the project?
I miss the fish as well.

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.
Guatemala: Healthy mothers make happy families, hopeful futures
We taught mothers in rural Guatemala how to improve the lives of their children through nutrition, hygiene and pregnancy care. Learn how the lessons are giving them a brighter, healthier future.

If only humans weren't so big. When I was on set at Northlandz to go behind the scenes of Sony's Separate Together experiments, I kept wishing I could climb into Bruce Zaccagnino's enormous yet tiny model train landscape and walk around it like one of the tiny figurines that make up the tableaux.
So I was excited to learn that, although I wouldn't be transformed into an ant-sized explorer, Sony had my desires covered. The company brought in a team of photographers, in addition to miniature photographer Matthew Albanese, who shot the experiments, to turn three Northlandz train-scapes into an immersive streetview-style world, that you can experience for yourself at Separate—Together.com. Want to feel like you're riding one of the trains through the tunnels and towns of Northlandz? Of course you do — and really, with a camera this small and portable, they'd be crazy not to strap it to a train. (I was ready to do it if no one else was going to.)
The making of Separate—Together.com involved shooting precise panoramas of each section of the museum. I can only imagine what a challenge this would be with a DSLR; when you're working on a miniature scale, you need a camera small enough to fit into tight spaces — not to mention the video shot from the train, which would be impossible with a big camera. Because the QX100 lens camera is so small, the photography team could easily attach it onto one of Bruce's flatbed model trains.
The fact that the Sony QX100 can be remotely controlled from a phone makes shooting in general — and especially in a situation like the one at Northlandz — so much easier. I watched the photographers moving through the land like giant dinosaurs towering above the miniatures. Any wrong move could result in hours' worth of Bruce's love and labor being destroyed, — but because they could control the shot from a safe spot, we didn't have to hold our breath wondering if one of the delicate bridges might get crushed, or the town hall pulverized.
I had the chance to talk to Matthew Albanese, the photographer behind the Separate Together photographic experiments, about the QX series and what shooting at Northlandz was like for him. Within minutes of seeing him work, I knew why Sony selected Matthew to capture the teeny tiny splendor of Northlandz with the QX100 lens-style camera — his specialty is shooting and lighting small subjects, and his mastery is undeniable (you can read more about his process here).
Q: Tell us about yourself as a photographer — you do miniature photography?
Matthew Albanese: Yes, I'm a photographer that specializes in creating miniature tabletop dioramas out of everyday materials, and I photograph and light them to look incredibly realistic. So, stuff like ostrich feathers or coffee or paprika, or steel wool as a tornado — stuff like that. The good thing about this camera is how well it functions in low light, which is important, especially for what I do because I use really unusual lighting scenarios. This camera responds very, very well to that.
Q: You said you make tabletop miniatures typically, but at Northlandz you're trying to showcase miniatures within this vastly large place. Did the QX100 help you with that?
M.A.: The fact that it's so small is perfect for me because I can really get inside of the action of this world. There's a lot of these little nooks and crannies in this place that I can just plant the camera down into. It's also really great that it's operating through Wi-Fi, so I can just operate the camera through my smartphone. I can see everything that I'm doing and manage everything that I need to at the touch of a button.
Q: In your everyday shooting, how do you think this camera would affect or change the way that you take photographs?
M.A.: It does have a lot of the functionality of a DSLR, so what's great is that it effectively turns your smartphone into a larger format camera in a sense. Instead of carrying a clunky camera and a phone, you have this compact thing that you just clip onto your phone, and it becomes one cohesive piece. It feels like a camera, it looks like a camera, with all kinds of control, and the best part is that if you don't know photography very well, this camera has excellent automatic capabilities.
Q: Does it feel strange to be so detached from the lens?
M.A.: It's funny because I'm so used to texting, and I'm used to Facebook and always using my phone, it seems pretty natural to just be able to use my camera [through my phone]. Also, with my professional camera, I shoot through Wi-Fi quite often. It's very useful. If I'm in a tight spot, I don't have to move and go around and hit the camera and go back. I can just sit there with my iPad and tap it, and make an adjustment and tap it. I think [the QX cameras' Wi-Fi abilities] are a really good way to fuse the mobile world with photography.
Experience Northlandz up-close at Separate—Together.com, and watch Sony's photographic experiments in action.

What is German Expressionism?
Storm and Spirit: The Eckhardt-Gramatté Collection of German Expressionist Art
Begins: Saturday September 28, 2013
German Expressionism was a modern artistic movement borne of rebellious disenchantment with the existing order. The visual arts, printmaking in particular, were regarded as a means to activate social transformation. German Expressionists created imagery that emphasized emotional frankness over technical proficiency, distortion over naturalism. Its broad aim was to alarm rather than confirm aesthetic expectations as a means of highlighting and undermining what was regarded as the crass, complacent, and corrupt materialism of Europe's social and political establishment.

She won't be home by Erasure... it's sad though, but awesome
My all-time favorite song is "Here We Come A Caroling" by The Ray Conniff Singers. I will listen to that one song at least once a day starting on Thanksgiving Eve through New Year's Night. However, I think this year I will listen to it at least once a day through 1-5-2011 (i.e. the 12th Day of Christmas).
Other than that song, my other two favorites are all versions of "The 12 Days of Christmas" and "Little Drummer Boy."
Jingle Bell Rock
Nat King Cole's Christmas song or White Christmas by Bing Crosby.
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Mine has to be "Believe" by Josh Groban
O Holy Night--Lou Christe and the University of Pittsburgh Glee Club
my favorite Christmas song was the 12 days of Christmas because my family and I use to sing it all together.
Most new stuff does not resonate with me. What is the reason? ... Simple. This is a year's time, I feel most nostalgic. I Harken back to simpler times, and found myself pondering things like, I enjoyed as a child.

Hi, everyone.
What I am struggling is the following problem. I have a linear matrix equation $Ax=b$, where $A$ is a known $n \times n$ large sparse real matrix, $x$ and $b$ are known $n \times 1$ vectors. Now, one entry of $A$ has changed into $a$ and we denote by this matrix $A'$. Since we make $b$ unchanged, the updated $A$ will cause the $x$ in the original linear eqaution accordingly changed to $x'$ such that $A'x'=b$. My goal is to find this new $x'$. A naive way is to re-solve $A'x'=b$. But since $A'$ is slightly different from $Ax=b$, is there any incremental way to fast solve $x'$ in $A'x'=b$ by taking advantage of the original equation $Ax=b$? Thank you very much for any of your kind suggestion!

We are surrounded by news of the Eurozone. But what positive solutions have we offered by way of Big Society neighbourly help? Or have we just covered our own backsides?
I am proud that our country punches above its weight in creative talent. In technology, music, drama, film, television, comedy and, yes, advertising, Great Britain is a creative force.
Have we mobilised this talent? Can we help by finding a creative solution to this crisis?
In this spirit, I would like to offer some 'upstream' creative thinking of my own.
Let's be brutally simple.
We start with what Euclid called axioms.
I am asking you to accept the following five points as the truth:
1. The Eurozone is a clumsy mish-mash of politics and economics.
2. The politics, based on history, is that Europe is better united than divided.
3. The Euro is an economic problem.
4. Politicians are attempting to resolve economic, non-political problems.
5. In times of desperate economic crisis, it is necessary to park the politics.
Please bear with me and accept the above as axiomatic, even if you are a politician.
Having accepted these axioms, let's unpick this Euro problem and start again.
What is the Euro?
The answer, again, is brutally simple.
The Euro is an exchange-rate mechanism where a number of countries are 'pegged' to one currency. There is nothing new in this.
For nearly ten years, I worked with The Bahamas Tourist Office. Lovely people. Lovely place. As part of my job, I had to visit The Bahamas almost every year. Tough client.
The Bahamian dollar is 'pegged' to the U.S. dollar on a one-to-one basis.
Please note this very important sentence.
Do you know what it means?
It means that, when you go to The Bahamas, you will find in your pocket a mish-mash of American and Bahamian dollars.
But relax, don't worry, stay on the beach, have a swim, chill, float – because It doesn't matter which dollars you have. They only look different. Some Bahamian dollars even feature pictures of the Queen. But each Bahamian dollar has the same value as the US dollar.
I was brought up in Hong Kong where, even since 1997 when, disgracefully in my view, we gave the place and its people back to China, the Hong Kong dollar is 'pegged' to the US dollar.
Do you get that?
In our world, today, a province of China has a currency 'pegged' to the American dollar? Which politician would have made that up let alone happen?
There's more.
"In 1972, the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the US dollar at 5.65 HK dollar = 1 US dollar. In 1973, this was revised to 5.085 HK dollar = 1 US dollar. Between 1974 and 1983, the HK dollar floated." (Wikipedia).
You may not be an economist or even be privileged enough to work in our financial service industries but please, please read the above sentence very carefully.
For this is the solution to the Eurozone crisis.
What it means is that a currency can be 'pegged' to another currency but, in times of crisis, the exchange rate can be revised.
It can even float.
Now, the Euro is in crisis.
And what follows is what needs to be done.
Let's move to Greece. I love Greece.
For one glorious summer, immediately prior to commencing my career at Ogilvy, I taught water-skiing in Corfu. Well, actually, I didn't really. I spent most of my time doing other things. But we won't go into that now.
The only solution for Greece is, in principle, to stay pegged to the Euro but for now, and until this crisis is over, Greece needs to do two things:
1. Re-launch the drachma. At this sad time, this will help the Greek people soar with pride in their wonderful country. All you heroes – Hercules, Achilles, Odysseus, Socrates, Plato, even my friend Euclid – come back and be noted!
2. Stay pegged to the Euro but float the drachma at a new exchange rate to the Euro (within whose fiscal rules the drachma will remain).
This is not as difficult as you might think. All shopkeepers need is a till that gives you a price in two different currencies. Easy. You will find this in airport Duty Free shops. At one time, even, there was discussion of High Street retailers in Britain accepting Euros as well as pounds. In practical terms, it is not a problem. You can even pay tax in Euros.
Do know why this should happen?
It is because Greece is in crisis and the drachma cannot survive at an exchange rate of less than 1.2 Euro to the pound. It needs to be at least 1.5 and anywhere up to 1.99.
At this rate, the people of Europe will want the drachma!
Governments and banks will buy bonds in drachma!
People will buy things sold in drachma!
People will go on holiday Greece!
Everyone will be happy!
Greece is not the only country that should do this, of course, so the creative solution to the Euro problem is for all the countries in the Eurozone, other than the 'base' currency (Germany or France or both?) to:
1. Relaunch, reprint and redistribute each Eurozone country's national currency (apart from France and/or Germany).
2. Meet to agree new, more achievable exchange rates in proportion to each country's national debt.
3. Don't invite David Cameron.
That is the solution.
If ever we join the Eurozone, unlikely as it may seem today, just remember that all we will be doing is 'pegging' the pound to a centralised European currency. It is an economic decision.
Once we have done this, if we are in crisis, we can float if we need to.
Either way, we can even keep the Queen and our British heroes like David Ogilvy on our currency, thus helping – emotionally – to overcome any political fears there may be.
We would not be selling our souls.
And, by retaining our own 'currency', it would be easier to pull out if we had to.
As I hope I have shown, when in a crisis, you need to throw everything up in the air.
You need to be creative.
And you need to be brutally simple, as demonstrated above, and argued by Maurice Saatchi in his book 'Brutal Simplicity of Thought'.
By nature, economists will not want to be brutally simple. The more qualified, more highly regarded and more intelligent the economist, the less simple he or she will want to be.
Their instinct will be to find theorematic complexities to do with balanced budgets, deficit limits, the need to submit budgets to Brussels and conformity to an Economic Planning Commission.
But they have to be more open minded than this.
They have to accept that the only way to recover from this brutal crisis is what used to be called devaluation and the facility to float exchange rates to the centralised currency, just like the Hong Kong dollar did to the US dollar between 1974 and 1983.
After agreeing that principle, the economists and eurocrats can work out implementation. But they must be prepared to make a creative leap.
In this economic crisis, the politics is the problem (Euclid liked problems).
And the problem needs a creative solution (Euclid liked solutions).
As I hope I have shown.

Hat tricks
Who says millinery is a dying art and that no one wears hats anymore? Ponti Hall at the Denver Art Museum was full of women in sassy chapeaus last week at Luncheon by Design, a benefit for the museum's architecture and design departments. The luncheon, which had been on hiatus a couple of years, is back as one of the city's top glam gatherings. Guests accessorized their Chanel suits and spring dresses with hats in black, white and other neutral colors, but a few brave patrons wore bright pink or blue brims. Several patrons were wearing hats by Erin Saboe, a Denver hat designer and owner of Go Go Chapeaux in Cherry Creek North. (Check it out at 290 Columbine St.) She uses high-end Milan straw and other materials and said she's been busy this spring, designing one of kind looks for Kentucky Derby parties, the art museum luncheon and other occasions. "Women love hats," she said. "My clients are young and old and in-between." Another occasion where we spotted hats recently was Historic Denver's One after Five party at the Phipps Mansion. Holly Kylberg wore a favorite design by London milliner Phillip Treacy that was signed by the designer.

Jury convicts Toronto man who slashed throat, stabbed wife
A Toronto man who stabbed his wife and slashed her throat four years ago was found guilty of second-degree murder on Sunday.
Peer Khairi, 65, sobbed quietly with his head down when the verdict was read in court, days after the jury first began its deliberations last Thursday.
His wife, Randjida Khairi, died in March 2008. She was 53 years old.
Assistant Crown Attorney Robert Kenny said the jury heard four weeks of evidence during the trial, including three days of testimony from Khairi himself.
"We're very happy with all the hard work that the jury went through and with the way the evidence came out," he told reporters outside court on Sunday.
Kenny credited the investigative work that police did in bringing the case to court.
"They were the ones who actually got the accused to speak the night of the murder and actually got a lot of the details of what had happened…which is what allowed us to take circumstantial evidence and to be able to tell the jury our theory of what had happened," he said.
"And I think by their verdict, they accepted that."
Toronto police Det. Sgt. Michael Barsky, who attended the scene on the day of the killing, said he was pleased with the verdict.
"Obviously things went very, very badly in that household for this to happen in the first place and those frustrations must have come to a head on March 18, 2008," Barsky told reporters.
"But I think Mr. Khairi was aware of what he was doing and why he was doing it and as a result we have this verdict today."
Sentencing to come
Following the verdict, defence lawyer Christopher Hicks was asked how Khairi reacted to the verdict.
Hicks told CBC News that Khairi is "not happy" and that it was evident that he had reacted "physically and emotionally to the decision."
Looking ahead to the sentencing process, Hicks said it was too soon to say what the defence would be recommending.
"We haven't really thought about what we would say for a sentence in this matter," he said.
During the trial, Khairi had claimed that he killed his wife in self-defence, alleging that she had tried to attack him with a knife.
The Crown argued that Khairi was angry with his wife and children for adopting more Western values after coming to Canada from Afghanistan.
Khairi had not revealed his claim that he was attacked prior to the trial, including when questioned by police.
In court, Khairi said that he had been waiting for his trial to tell the full story.
Barsky said that the jury's verdict is a point where the Khairi family can begin to "turn the page" on a difficult chapter of their lives.
But he said that the Khairi children will still move forward without their parents in their lives.
"This is a difficult time for a family. They've lost both parents, essentially in one act," he said Sunday.

GulfTran LLC, a new company formed by the principles of RV manufacturer Gulf Stream Coach Inc., expects to market between 750 and 1,000 12- to 25-seat commercial shuttle buses annually beginning in November.
It's all part of a new shirt on the part of the closely held, Nappanee, Ind.-based company outside of the tradtional recreational vehicle business.
In fact, the commercial shuttle bus arena is the second market outside the RV industry that Gulf Stream has ventured in to in recent months. The company also is part of a consortium formed by Electric Motors Corp. (EMC) to build hybrid pickup trucks. When EMC gets going, Gulf Stream will add EMC's electric engine and drive train to Ford F-150 pickup trucks — perhaps as soon as the third quarter of 2010.
"We are loading the (shuttle bus) line now," said Claude Donati, vice president of the new company who also is vice president of Gulf Stream's motorized division. "We know that commercial shuttle buses are a profitable and solid business. It's a natural for us."
After taking two shuttle-bus prototypes to the 2009 BusCon commercial bus convention in mid-September in Chicago, GulfTran signed up 20 commercial bus dealers and took 100 orders, Donati reported.
"We'll have two lines running under the same roof as the (Gulf Stream) motorhomes so we can keep our overhead low," Donati said. " There will be a lot of shared resources."
Thirty to 60 employees — some of whom already are on-board — will focus on building GulfTran shuttle buses.
The coaches can be customized into as many as 50 floorplans, depending on the seating configuration, he said.
"Our minimum rate of production will be achieved in January," Donati said.
GulfTran's commercial shuttle buses will be built on Ford E-350 and E-450 chassis, Donati said, and are expected to be used in airports, schools, casinos and medical applications, among others.
Although initially the EMC project will not have a recreation vehicle application, Donati said that "second-generation" EMC-equipped cutaway chassis eventually could be used to build Class C motorhomes.
Donati added, however, that despite Gulf Stream's outside ventures, the company remains committed to building towable and motorized RVs.
"It may appear from the outside that we are in hibernation," Donati said. " But during that time we were cutting our costs and eliminating some of the overhead. Our goal is to be a major player in the motorhome business like we were five years ago, but we want to sustain growth first."
On Tuesday (Oct. 27), Gulf Stream announced that it was recalling 50 laid off production workers and was expected to increase its motorhome production by 25% by the first of the year.

Stylized Instamatic 104, a photo by rsmithing on Flickr.
I dig the convergence of technology and time here in one brief second, now extended to the world and infinity. Here's a snapshot of one of our modern photographic ancestors I modified with the amazing ToonPaint iPhone app, after shooting with Hipstamtic (a modern-retro simulator, no less). I found the camera at a sweet vintage shop called "Ideas" on Burke Street, Winston-Salem, NC. Original here.

Quentin Tarantino wanted people to talk about Django Unchained
- Bang Showbiz
- 25 February 2013
Quentin Tarantino wanted to make people debate about 'Django Unchained' and despite winning the Best Original Screenplay award at the Oscars last night (24.02.13), his main goal was to start a "conversation" surrounding the film
Quentin Tarantino wanted people to talk about 'Django Unchained'.
The 49-year-old director took home the Best Original Screenplay prize for his controversial film at the 2013 Academy Awards last night (24.02.13) and revealed how glad he is to have started a topical "conversation" surrounding the nature of the movie.
Speaking backstage at Hollywood's Dolby Theater, Quentin explained to Deadline.com: "I wanted to start a conversation about slavery and America's role in it ...
"Even the people who criticized [the film] helped to start a kind of back and forth. And that back and forth is what I really wanted at the end of the day, and I hope it continues the next few years."
Quentin also shared his respect for other films nominated at this year's awards and believes the "spirit" reflects that of previous decades.
He continued: "I've been doing a lot of studying of films from the late 1960s and early '70s, which was the beginning of the New Hollywood.
"I have to say, [this year] I recognized that same spirit. Nothing about the subject of all of them is necessarily commercial or popular, but they have been."
Christopher Waltz, who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'Django Unchained', also expressed his admiration for the "deep message" evoked from Quentin's film.
He said: "I love this movie not for being the highest grossing one. I love this movie because it's a fabulous exciting piece of entertainment with a really deep message. I'm glad that it's popular, but the money - sorry, I do something else."

Postgame Avs-Panthers: Not worth a deuce
SUNRISE, Fla. – I know it was a fate worse than death not having tonight's game on TV. You had to follow me on twitter, you had to wait for the online recap on our website, you had to listen to the…horror….the radio to take in the game.
There was an online, in-house stream of the game tonight, but I hear it went out before long and that it looked like watching from a spaceship, through the bottom of an aquarium. Or something like that.
But I'm here to tell you: if you watched last Friday's game in Carolina, or the one before that at home against Atlanta, you would have seen pretty much the same game tonight.
Avs get a lead, give it up, get it back, give it up – lose in OT. They're just not a consistent team right now, and the numbers are starting to get a little alarming;
1-4-2 1-3-3 in the last seven now. They haven't won a game since beating the Wild 7-4 at home five games ago. That, of course, was the night they lost Chris Stewart to the most ill-advised fight since Muhammad Ali stepped into the ring with Larry Holmes.
The loss of Stewart cannot be emphasized enough right now. The Avs have very little in the way of tough presence in front of the net without him. They were a bit thin in that area with him, but without No. 25, the Avs are just a little too easy to play against right now.
Tomas Fleischmann looks like he's trying, but he wasn't too noticeable tonight. Kevin Porter has disappeared since his scoring burst of a couple weeks ago. Without Stewart – and TJ Galiardi – up front on the top two lines, the Avs are really missing that speed, skill and grit they bring.
Ryan O'Reilly was credited with a goal tonight (it sure looked like it belonged to Daniel Winnik, but it was changed to The Factor after the game), but he hasn't been good enough offensively overall lately either.
Kevin Shattenkirk had his first real bad game as an Av tonight. Must have put the front-page Denver Post jinx on him. He was a minus-2 and saw his point streak snapped. Defensive partner Kyle Quincey finally got a point at least, but was on the ice for the final two goals against as well, with Shatty.
And, Craig Anderson wasn't good enough either. It's hard to say any of the four goals tonight were especially glaring. It's just that Andy didn't have that big, big save in him. I think he's obviously still a bit rusty after his two injuries.
Now the Avs go to Atlanta, with two off-days before Friday's game against the Thrash. If they don't get a win there, then you're looking at going into Washington for the second of back-to-back nights on the road to finish the trip. This could be a winless trip, in other words. But at least they've gotten something in the standings.
Other leftovers: Caught up with Joe Sakic at the game. He was on hand for the board of governors' meetings here, and he seemed really pumped about the experience. He talked a lot about how much he learned in the two-day meetings, and seemed to just enjoy it all. I would be shocked if he isn't in the Avs' front office next year. I can definitely see him as the assistant GM to Greg Sherman (a title that used to belong to Craig Billington, before he was given the title of director of player development alone last summer). Either that, or Eric Lacroix moves into a formal assistant GM role to Sherman, and Sakic becomes a director of hockey operations or something. It will be interesting to see what happens with Eric Lacroix and Sakic, and who succeeds Sherman as GM some day. I'm not going to guess who that might be at this point.
Brandon Yip was scratched tonight, in favor of David Koci. How much did Koci play, you ask? One minute, 10 seconds. Do we really think Yip couldn't have contributed something more than that? I think this was a bad personnel decision by the coaching staff tonight.

No one wants to talk about death, illness or divorce. Unfortunately, you may have to raise some unpleasant issues when you speak with family members over the holidays if you want to ensure a successful retirement. Family issues are just about the only thing investors don't plan for, and it could hurt them in retirement, a new Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Age Wave study shows.
The study, "Family and Retirement: The Elephant in the Room," conducted in August 2013, surveyed more than 5,400 respondents and asked about family dynamics and long-term financial planning. The survey found that respondents were generous when it came to assisting family members but unrealistic in assessing some of their own needs later in life, especially long-term care.
In the survey, half of pre-retirees age 50 and older said they would make major financial sacrifices for family members, and 36 percent said they were willing to endure a less comfortable post-retirement lifestyle to aid family members. The baby boomers, also known as the "sandwich generation," are in a tough spot, with one in five parents seeing their children return home to live with them as they also attempt to care for their own aging parents. Those boomers surveyed said they would not be prepared if an aging parent or older relative needed long-term care.
[Read: Will Health Care Hurt Boomers' Retirement?]
But what about the boomers' own long-term care? The majority don't think they'll need it, with only 37 percent of survey respondents age 50 and older saying they may need long-term care in their lifetime. But according to 2013 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data, 70 percent of retirees will eventually require it.
That's a big problem, according to Matt Curfman, senior vice president of Richmond Brothers, a money management firm. He says his clients in Jackson, Miss., may spend anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000 a month on long-term care. Paying for such care is an even bigger concern when someone is married, as they have to worry about how much will be left for the healthy spouse to live on once the ill spouse passes.
One option is long-term care insurance, but Curfman doesn't advise it. "The average rise of health care costs compared with what a long-term care policy offers is not great. There is an average increase of 15 percent a year and even if it's a great policy, there could be an inflation cap of 3 to 5 percent."
[See: 12 Surprising Facts About Boomer Retirement.]
Curfman suggests that people planning for long-term care also consider trying to use the death benefit in their life insurance policy while they're still living. "Life insurance is becoming more unique. Some policies allow access to the death benefit while alive," Curfman says.
If a person can't perform two activities of daily living - feeding and clothing yourself, for instance - he or she can talk to a doctor, have the doctor write a note explaining their inability to succeed at those tasks and receive substantial access to the death benefit, Curfman explains. You can also receive an accelerated death benefit if you are terminally ill or have a life-threatening diagnosis such as AIDS, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. There are also hybrid life insurance policies that allow chronic illness riders, which may be helpful to boomers in their 50s and 60s.
Curfman says some financial advisors are beginning to factor long-term care and assistance to family members into clients' financial plans. "I think what's happening is that a lot of advisors only deal with retirement planning through asset allocation, and that's shortsighted to help with those goals but not deal with long-term care issues. It's not so much that advisors are proactive, it's that these issues are being brought to them and now they're reacting."
[See: 6 Ways Retiring Can Be More Affordable.]
David Tyrie, head of retirement and personal wealth solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, says the study makes it apparent that people are not having real discussions about their financial needs in retirement or how family issues complicate those goals. According to the survey, as much as 70 percent of adult children age 25 and older haven't discussed important financial issues with their parents, such as their parents' retirement, possible illnesses or anything related to aging. The survey also shows that more than half of parents age 50 or older haven't discussed inheritance, a will or where they want to live in retirement with their adult children.
"It's very clear people are not talking about this. People are only reactive, doing this after an illness or death of a family member. But there is fear of conflict or what might happen as a result," Tyrie says.
If families don't discuss important financial issues, debt could easily spiral out of control. Curfman gave the example of a couple he worked with who did everything right to plan for their retirement - only they didn't account for the financial help they would need to give their children and parents.
"They eventually had $100,000 in debt. They were embarrassed, but they weren't blowing money. They were helping out with kids and parents. They were two years away from retirement and did the planning, but didn't have a plan when it came to the parents and kids," Curfman says.

Flexible, band aid-like patch for continuous glucose monitoring demonstrates great promise to enable pain-free treatment of people with diabetes
Read the Times Union article, "Making good ideas better"
Rensselaer, NY – Ultradian Diagnostics LLC (Ultradian), an early-stage medical device company based in Rensselaer, New York, today announced the successful completion of a human pilot study for its minimally invasive, continuous glucose monitor (CGM), as well as the launch of advanced research and pilot prototyping in partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany – critical steps toward commercializing its innovative technology to deliver improved, pain-free treatment to individuals with diabetes.
The human pilot study conducted at the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University in Syracuse showed that Ultradian's Biologue CGM© – a flexible, band aid-like patch for real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels that would eliminate the need for painful pinpricks – exhibited a high degree of accuracy as compared to CGM devices now on the market.
The Biologue CGM© includes a skin-adhered sensor module that works in tandem with a small intradermal sensor, which measures glucose in interstitial fluid. The sensor module sends data up to 10 feet to a proprietary hand-held monitor or personal computer for display and analysis. The device is painless during use and no adverse skin reactions were observed.
Concurrently, Ultradian is now working with CNSE to accelerate the commercialization of its innovative health care technology. That collaboration, which integrates research at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex with access to pilot prototyping capabilities at CNSE's Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center of Excellence (STC) in Canandaigua, will enable top-quality, cost-effective scale-up for high-volume manufacturing.
"This is a major milestone on Ultradian's path toward commercialization that demonstrates our CGM is competitive in the marketplace for continuous glucose monitoring products," said Ultradian Diagnostics CEO John P. Willis, Ph.D. "Innovations in our CGM design that allow for real-time, automatic correction of signal drift due to bio-fouling, redundant glucose measurements and a single-point calibration method were successfully demonstrated in this study. The ability to partner with CNSE, including its Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center, is a critically important step forward in providing access to state-of-the-art capabilities that will accelerate commercialization at a fraction of the cost compared to similar companies at this stage of development."
"The partnership between Ultradian Diagnostics and CNSE's Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center of Excellence showcases CNSE's unique ability to provide a 'one-stop shop' for advanced research and pilot prototyping that is critical to assisting small companies in commercializing their innovative products and creating high-tech jobs in New York," said Paul Tolley, CNSE Vice President for Disruptive Technologies and Director of CNSE's STC. "It also demonstrates the powerful potential of nanotechnology to drive 21st century health care technologies that offer improved performance at a reduced cost."
Ruth Weinstock, MD, Ph.D., Principal Investigator and Chief of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at SUNY Upstate Medical University, said, "We are impressed with Ultradian's CGM and very excited by the results of this pilot study and believe this new technology could greatly benefit patients with diabetes, and move us forward in the development of the artificial pancreas."
Simultaneous with CGM measurements, two reference methods were utilized which included the YSI 2300 Stat Plus Glucose Analyzer for the analysis of venous blood samples and a One Touch Ultra Mini personal blood glucose meter for the analysis of fingerstick blood glucose samples and calibration. A total of 1023 paired data points were obtained. Using a standard accuracy metric known as the Clarke Error Grid, 87 percent of data fell within the clinically accurate "A" zone and 13 percent within the clinically acceptable "B" zone (100 percent). The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) was 11.4 percent, while the mean absolute residual (MAR) was 17.7 mg/dL.
Longer-term studies are planned with extended wear periods prior to FDA pre-market approval. Ultradian is actively pursuing strategic partnerships with established medical device companies to bring its technology to market and to close the loop to form an artificial pancreas.

TUSCALOOSA | A new restaurant with a touch of New Orleans-style food will open next month near the University of Alabama campus.
TUSCALOOSA | A new restaurant with a touch of New Orleans-style food will open next month near the University of Alabama campus.
Burger U at 1014 Seventh Ave., just off Paul W. Bryant Drive, is expected to open on Feb. 11 or Feb. 18, said its owner Dan Robinson.
Though its name suggests hamburgers, Robinson said the menu will feature a lot more. The restaurant will have po' boys, sandwiches, appetizers, salads and desserts, which will be available for indoor and outdoor patio dining and take-out, he said. It also will carry crayfish, Patton's hot sausage from New Orleans and fresh bread baked from New Orleans.
It won't be a New Orleans restaurant, but it will have a number of items that will appeal to those who like New Orleans food, he said.
The restaurant also will serve mixed drinks, frozen drinks and a selection of about 50 bottled beers and house wines, Robinson said.
Burger U will have large flat-screen TVs for viewing sporting events. He said he believes a location adjacent to the campus will help attract UA students, staff and visitors, but he said the restaurant will be family-friendly and that he hopes it will attract people from throughout the area.
Robinson is native New Yorker who landed up in New Orleans, where he owned a restaurant called Storyville in the French Quarter for six-and-a-half years. He said after he closed that restaurant, he decided to open a restaurant near the campus of a large university.
He initially thought of Tulane University in New Orleans, but said he could not find a good location there.
"I didn't care that much for Baton Rouge (home of LSU), but started to look at other SEC schools." He said he visited Tuscaloosa several times, liked the town and found a the spot near campus.
"We are not a chain or franchise," he said. "There is only one Burger U."
Robinson said he is getting the restaurant ready for opening and plans to have a pre-opening preview party for the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. The official opening likely will be a week or two later, he said..
He said Burger U will have 15 to 18 full- and part-time employees.
On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant will open at 11 a.m. and close at 2 a.m. Sundays through Wednesdays, it plans to be open from 11 a.m. until midnight.
