You towed the wrong car this time
There has been at least one amusing aspect of Farmer's Market in Melbourne Beach. It is not general, public knowledge. It happened the day the tow truck was on standby to haul away folks going to the market and taking up spaces some shopkeepers felt were required for their success on Saturday mornings.
A shopkeeper was standing outside his establishment with a hawk eye, ready to swoop down on anyone parking near his shop, who looked as if they might prefer fresh vegetables over what he was offering. All of a sudden, "Hawk Eye" shopkeeper ordered the tow truck on standby to "get that one." No sooner said than done and a feeling of joyful revenge was in the air. But then, revenge can become expensive.
Time went by, and suddenly there appeared an irate man, who had been the customer in a neighboring shop (not the Farmer's Market), who demanded to know what had become of his car. He was told it had been towed away and impounded.
This left "Hawk Eye" shopkeeper in a rather embarrassing situation.
The owner of the impounded car demanded its return. It was done, and all at the expense of "Hawk Eye" shopkeeper.
I do not believe the tow truck has been at the Farmer's Market since that day.
If this story has a moral it might be: Go with the flow, do not tow. Or: An increased crowd can increase sales.
Exploit the opportunity, and stop whining.
Schools are set to be closed to save money
Meanwhile, the (Brevard County) School Board must pay police officers to be in most schools, rather than out patrolling our communities. Money for that is no problem.
Then, the County Commissioners are taking the school board to court and facing huge legal fees to do so, no doubt. The school board is forced to pay more huge legal fees to defend against the county. Money for all that is no problem either.
Do any of these people recall whose taxes they are bandying about? Have they noticed the Brevard economy?
Strangely, gun advocates insist no controls at all are needed, despite (there being) well over 100 victims of mass shootings with military assault weapons since Columbine. Just let the slaughter continue.
A costly police officer in each school is the NRA's answer to these multiple mass murders.
They force all of us to pay his salary so they can avoid the same sensible controls that face them and us if we want to drive, to fish, to pilot a plane or whatever.
Why are they so special? Money to pay these police officers is, of course, no problem - for them.
County Commissioners have ample money for sand to spread on beaches, knowing full well that the first major storm will put the sand right back on the sea bottom. They've already squandered well over $100 million on this sand nonsense. Perhaps they could give this latest $25 million to the school board. Along with the legal fees it will avoid, it can save the schools.
Perhaps the school board could release the police officers to do their street patrols and direct those tax funds to educating children, in line with their actual mandate?
Perhaps local gun owners, who are such a close-knit group, could chip in to pay the school police officers' salaries that their guns necessitate? Since guns are the reason they are there, it seems more than fair.
The right people doing the jobs they should be doing, and spending our tax dollars sensibly on the right things, could easily save these schools, with gobs of money left over.
Let's have some leadership from someone to end this lunacy.
The boat is sinking, not sailing
I'm afraid your writer doesn't know the difference between a "sailing" boat and a "sinking" boat.
If the "majority" of people in his sinking lifeboat voted "not" to bail out their leaking vessel, would he agree with them?
It is an applicable analogy to our bleeding economy and debt problem! He must naively believe everything the Democratic propaganda machine tells him; i.e. "why bail, don't worry, the leak will stop."
So why should we believe he has stopped watching reality TV shows long enough to analyze the issues and determine the facts for himself? What facts? How about fiscal responsibility? How about budgets? How about the un-sustainability of our current spending and national debt? How about cities going bankrupt because of lavish union pensions?
President Barack) Obama has no interest in helping the middle class, unless your definition of the middle class is someone whose only ambition in life is to work and apply themselves as little as possible, blame others for their problems, while letting hardworking taxpayers support their lifestyle with food stamps, "Obama-phones" and Welfare. This is what our "blamer-in-chief" does!
Yes, he won the election; however, the concerns of the other more responsible 49 percent can't and won't be ignored. That is what the Republican House majority is for, thank goodness! And yes, Democrats may win again in 2016. Not because of competence, fiscal responsibility, diligence or responsible leadership, as displayed on state levels by Republican governors, but because they have figured out how to buy votes better than the Republicans.
Immigration? Jay Leno said it best recently: "We have stopped using the term 'illegal aliens', they are now 'undocumented Democrats'." And don't forget another quote by Ben Franklin: "When the people can vote themselves money, that will bode the end of the Republic." Your writer is gloating, while his boat is sinking, not sailing!
God, God, God
Regarding two letters this week about God and prayer, where was your God during Newtown? Certainly, he had the power to jam Adam Lanza's semi-automatic if he wanted to. Where was he when children were being abused by his representatives on earth and others? What good did prayer do then or during the (Hurricane) Katrina or (Hurricane) Sandy? Then again, who knows, maybe it did work, I prayed that the storms would not hit us. They didn't. Too bad for other folks.
One letter-writer complains that all our troubles are caused by the "majority" turning their backs on God. When religion ruled the world, it was known as the Dark Ages. Allah rules the Muslim world and their fundamentalists are stuck in the 7th Century, pretty the same as ours.
No one should care what others worship. One god, ten gods, a '57 Buick, a can of peas, a weed or an alien dictator named Xenu. If it works for them, who cares? Just get off your high moral horses and leave the rest of us alone and don't take fables literally. Noah? When he was 600 years old, he built an ark and two of every species came to his boat. How convenient everything lived within walking distance of Noah's place. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman. And then what? What exactly does that family tree look like?
Good things and bad things sometimes just happen, but most often, they are the intended or unintended consequences of our own actions or the actions of others. Deal with it. That is reality and no super power is going to protect us from our own folly.
Wanting what people who work have
I really am sick and tired of hearing about people on government assistance (really, my money) having the right to buy fast food because people who work do.
Well, people who work are not dependent on other people for money, so they have a right to do what they want with their money.
You, on the other hand, do not work; and yet you want everything that the people who work have.
When our children were younger and we had only one person working, we had to save our money to be able to eat out once in awhile, and I mean, once in awhile. Even fast food was saved for; and, as a result, was really a treat for the whole family.
It is about time all this assistance, cell phones, etc., was really stopped. Illegals receive it, and that is what really bothers me.
We have people who work and barely make it, and they still try to make it on their own because they have a sense of pride.
How about the elderly and retired, who need medication and do not have enough money for food. They are the first ones who should be getting assistance, and the others can clean the schools, businesses, churches, etc. before they are eligible for anything. Work first, money later.
I am praying that in about four years all the free assistance is gone.
The way women dress
This is in regard to the letter from the lady who was upset about the way women dress these days.
I think she finally quit her rant because she finally had to come up for air.

These women and children live in extreme poverty and are impacted by little education, poor medical care, and diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. This development includes empowering the widows by teaching and implementing economic stability on a local level through microenterprise. In addition, Fingerprints Across Africa is involved in building schools and drop in day-care centers for orphans, implementing life skills training for widows and orphans, and establishing homes that house up to 10 orphans in a family setting.
A security wall desperately needs to be built so these orphans can return home and be reunited as a family. The wall needs to be 10 feet high and 856 linear feet in length. Total cost for this project is $18,000. To date with the Matching Grant available, we've raised almost $12,000! Now we have only about $6000 more to go. One-third of the wall is complete, with work ongoing. Please help hand us another brick…

The Houston Texans are dealing with injuries to their top-two running backs. All-Pro Arian Foster is dealing with a hamstring injury that is considered minor, but it could be enough to keep him out this week vs the Indianapolis Colts.
Not only is he ailing, but backup Ben Tate broke four ribs and while he hopes to play in Week 9, his status will be in doubt leading up to the Sunday night AFC South showdown.
According to multiple reports, the Texans will sign running back Deji Karim:
RB/KR Deji Karim has signed with the Houston #Texans….congratulations to Deji!
— Jason Bernstein (@JB_XAM) October 28, 2013
Texans have signed Deji Karim, according to his agency @JB_XAM and @XAMSports
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) October 28, 2013
They will also sign Dennis Johnson, who's been on the Cleveland Browns practice squad, according to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.
A 2-5 record and a five-game losing streak has not only made a trip to the Super Bowl very unlikely for a team that claimed it was Super Bowl-or-bust prior to the season, but has the team in a must-win scenario against a Colts team that's beat seemingly every elite team in NFL at home.

BBC America's Clone Drama "Orphan Black" Coming In March [Video]
While they aren't coming right out and calling this a science fiction series anything that includes clones definitely fits the bill, and the new drama Orphan Black looks like it could be a lot of fun.
The show is an original series for BBC America and is hitting the airwaves on March 30th. Here is the synopsis for the show via their YouTube page:
ORPHAN BLACK features rising star TATIANA MASLANY (The Vow, Picture Day) in the lead role of Sarah, an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her.
Sarah assumes her identity, her boyfriend and her bank account. But instead of solving her problems, the street-smart chameleon is thrust headlong into a kaleidoscopic mystery. She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones…but are they the only ones?
I'm marking the calendar for this one.

Feminism before that was even really a thing.
Holden Caulfield is a rich white kid with rich white kid problems, so he runs away. He ALMOST has sex with a prostitute. He calls his girlfriend a pain in the ass, a great literary example of irony as Holden is literature's biggest pain in the ass. He takes his sister Phoebe to the zoo. It rains. Holden is a grown up now.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
That is exactly my definition of love. No other words are needed.
Although I already watched the new episodes of the fourth season, I started watching the first season today. Everyone looks so much younger and so much scrawnier. Goodness! And everyone's hilarious. Tara is my homegirl. I don't know why people dislike her. I think she's badass in the first season; I think she's badass in the fourth season. We'll see how I feel as I continue watching. Lafayette… oh my god. There are no words for Lafayette. He is the epitome of flaming flamboyant gay guy. Ugh, he's just fabulous.
Then there's Jason Stackhouse. Seeing how he turned out, he's pretty awesome. But God, I'm in love with the tool and douchebag that he was in the first season. I mean, really! AH. HAHAHA.
They're overprotective to the point of suffocation. They can be absolute hypocrites at times. They drive me up the wall with their constant nagging. I've contemplated running away on multiple occasions. I've cried myself to sleep because of them on multiple occasions. Despite all of these things, I don't know what I'd do without them.
I sometimes wonder where I would be if they didn't raise me and love me the way they did. Would I end up pregnant? Would I end up smoking my lungs out? Would I end up dead somewhere because of a stupid decision? Would I make a billion more mistakes than I do now?
Thankfully, those are questions to which I'll never find the answer, because I'm grateful for what I've accomplished and done, in part to my annoying but amazing parents.

Eating Raw Chicken & Pork
- bitsubeats Jun 13, 2007 09:37 PM
yeah yeah you all love your raw seafood and beef, but how about raw chicken and pork? I know that in other countries like Japan and some in Southeast Asia they eat these items raw. How do they do it without getting sick? I have some chicken breast in the fridge, does that mean I can eat it straight?
I would really love to try it but I'm kind of scared. I have no problem eating raw beef (from the grocery store) like a bite or two and I also love eating raw eggs - mainly the yolk.
How do they eat raw chicken and pork in other countries? Do they dip them in particular sauces?
Also I heard both are quite delicious
re: beevod
Right. There is nothing magically loathsome about pork, chicken, eggs, etc. In the first case, the problem was trichinosis which is stastically all but non-existent in the US pork supply at this point. And you can always (deep, deep) freeze it for a couple of days - like some fish that are eaten as sushi and sashimi. The danger with chicken is salmonella and serious risk fom that can be avoided without massive effort. But any other protein that's either poorly processed or processed based on the assumption it will be cooked to certain basic standards, you want to be careful with anything from a commercial saw that's raw, in proportion to the risk. For that matter, raw vegetables can - pose a serious public health risk
And let's remember that it hardly as though people don't keel over sick-to-dead from food poisoning in Southeast Asia nor even Japan, or anywhere... Stastitics don't mean YOU will get something, but they do generally catch up with if sooner or later. Being unwise about often speeds up the process. :)
re: beevod
I don't know about eating raw chicken in southeast Asia. Where do they do that? I know Cantonese like to cook chicken just this side of doneness. You often see red in the bone area. But raw? No.
Same goes for pork. However, in the west it is now OK to eat pork less than well done. Supposedly trichinosis hasn't appeared in the US for years now, so it's not a big health scare anymore.
re: PeterL
I have heard of chicken served raw like sashimi in Japan. The only reason not to eat chicken less than well done in this country is that the mass processing of chickens is very unsanitary and the chickens are contaminated with salmonella and who knows what else. Why can you eat duck breast rare and not chicken breast? It's dependent on how they are raised and processed. If you raised your own chickens and when slaughtering made sure that the intestinal tract was removed cleanly and in a sanitary environment, I'm sure you could enjoy your chicken without a hazmat suit.
re: scubadoo97
Ducks aren't affected by the same pathogens are are chickens. It doesn't matter how they're raised- the "raw chicken" that is supposedly consumed is probably irradiated or something, or the consumers are risk-taking idiots. Not to mention the fact that raw chicken is completely disgusting.
re: John Manzo
Thanks John for the clarification on the difference between duck and chicken and your assumption of irradiation is probably correct. I wish we had the option here in the US but fear it would just allow the processors to be even more lax in their food handling. Irradiation would offer a safer alternative for those that want it.
re: scubadoo97
I read soemthing on the FDA site that said that since ducks are birds of flight their meat is totally different from chicken and turkeys and such. Even though the breasts are still considered "White meat" they are darker in appearance and less prone to carry disease.
re: mojoeater
ya scuba thats right i have gone through food safety cources and work in a restaurant and the fact that chickens dont fly has a big impact they re more prone to diseases like that. I think the ones they use in japan fly i believe. and pork is becoming safer now im not sure why on that one but like i live in ny and they suggest to serve pork medium or medium rare in some restaurants. so its becoming safer but i would never eat rare chicken from the u.s.
re: kronlyn
Look, I'm sorry but I have to tell you that no chickens can actually fly. Nor, for that matter, can domestic ducks. They can both flap their wings and get themselves up to a perch or a fence, but fly? Nope. I raise all kinds of fowl and I've never had a full size chicken or duck that could fly.
re: scubadoo97
I swear I saw raw minced chicken or pork being served in vietname or thailand somewhere on tv (or read about it somewhere)
re: bitsubeats
i saw "raw pork salad" on a thai menu's restaurant in paris.
re: egit
I have had raw chicken sashimi in Japan (it was two dishes before the fried spam and eggs - it was an odd evening) and it was actually very tasty - very delicate and fresh.
I think it's similar to raw eggs - you need a trustworthy provider, plus it has to be very fresh and sanitary in all of the various stages.
I would never eat raw commercial chicken in the US, and I avoid ground beef when at all possible.
bitsubits, if you live in the US and eat raw egg yolks--you might as well try chicken and pork sashimi. I'm always the person least concerned about what I eat in terms of health risks. Yet times have changed; and I wouldn't eat raw eggs, pork, or chicken in the US.
The worst pathogens associated with chickens are not the ones of 50 years ago. Campylobacter jejuni is a danger in (large?) part because of battery production and "modern" processing and distribution. Salmonella can get into hens' ovaries and contaminate eggs--from the inside!--prior to shell formation. New more lethal strains (e.g., DT104) of Salmonella are not uncommonly found in pork--given new pig resistances to several anti-biotics.
re: Sam Fujisaka
I'm with Sam: if you can get fresh local birds, you're safe. I have no desire to eat raw chicken, but I roast our local birds to a lower temp than I would industrial chickens, and they are very juicy and tender. Industrial birds are disgusting and immoral, and they are not tasty.. Militate for locally raised birds, and vendors will start producing the real deal.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Sorry Sam, but campylobacter jejuni has been renamed as Helicobacter
re: genetics1121
Not true. These are distinct organisms:
re: GH1618
Very distinct organisms.
re: genetics1121
Sam passed away a few years ago, unfortunately.
I'll eat any meat raw if I know that it is extremely fresh, and I trust the supplier. If I don't trust the supplier (because they practice intensive animal rearing), I wont even eat the meat if it's cooked. Haven't tried raw chicken, but I do like my poultry very rare. I have had pork sashimi before, and it was delicious.
jfood would NEVER eat raw chicken, even if on the inside of a seared breast. on the pork issue, jfood would eat the pork med-rare, but also have to cast a no vote on raw.
re: bitsubeats
I would eat them in a minute--but not in the US because of the health risks. Why don't you come here to Colombia, and we''ll have them together.
re: Sam Fujisaka
sounds good to me!! Do they eat them raw in columbia or are they more sanitary?
so what everyone is saying (according) to this thread is that if I were to say get an organic chicken or say organic pork chop I could eat them both raw?
oh and eating raw eggs from the us doesn't bother me. I've been doing it for forever and I haven't gotten sick yet (cross your fingers!). I also do this with quail eggs, and I wonder if they are handled differently than chicken eggs?
anyone else out there prepare/eat raw beef at home? THe only time I eat raw beef at home is to try it out with its marinade before I cook it. Basically I am taking little tastes. I also like my steaks cooked black and blue (seared on the outside and cold and raw on the inside) so this is pretty much the same thing.
re: bitsubeats
The only time I've ever heard or seen this is on a Wife Swap show. It was the weirdest thing ever.
This family lives on a farm in Iowa and they only eat raw food. They kill their own chickens etc and eat it raw. They had some kind of crazy bacterial meltdown that was 3 month old aged raw meat they kept in jars in the fridge that they would eat as a delicacy. They said it took them a couple of months to adjust to their diet, starting out slow, but the swapped wife took them to a regular restaurant and they got really sick afterward. Clearly your gut adjusts to this so I wouldn't go crazy with a whole chicken on my first night.
Since organic doesn't mean "not slaughtered in a slaughterhouse" I would only try it if it were a chicken killed and butchered right in front of me in sanitary conditions.
re: LaurenTX2CA
Yes I saw that show. Although these people seem to be doing fine on their raw diet I question how sanitary everything was since they also didn't believe in cleaning their house.
To me the concept sounds gross and I think the texture would be the worse part.
re: bitsubeats
I think the point that being hammered down is don't eat commercially processed raw chicken or pork in the US, even if it's so-called organic. The few places that serve chicken sashimi in the US are very careful with their purveyors and I understand that they inspect the chicken farms themselves to make sure it meets the sanitary conditions necessary to safely serve it. In Japan, where it's on many menus, there are many independent chicken growers that take great pride in having developed their own breed of chickens raised to enhance the flavor of the meat, and take special care to make it available to be served as sashimi. There are many parts of Japan that are known for their chickens, though chicken sashimi is more or less associated with parts of Kyushu, where you can buy chicken for sashimi at the supermarket.
re: bitsubeats
Ha! Bitsubeats, Colombians don't anything raw. They like their steaks thin and charred at the core of the sun for 20 minutes.
No, I offer Colombia because meat and poultry production and processing are so much healthier than the feedlot and battery production in the US. Organic or not doesn't matter. The problem with the eggs are newish (last 20 or so years) and more lethal diseases.
Raw beef--of course: Carpaccio. Slightly freeze beef to slice very thinly; pound out even thinner; dress with lemon or lime juice, olive oil, capers, salt, rough ground black pepper, thinly sliced green or spring onion. I take this to parties were there are more Europeans and Africans than Colombians.
re: bitsubeats
My primary objection to eating other raw meats is the texture- don't get me wrong, i like all sorts of squishy, slimy, firm, chewy, and crunchy things, but as taryn opines below, crispy pork fat is really, really good. I find undercooked pork unpleasantly spongy- even from heritage Berkshire and Duroc hogs. Chicken, too- I would certainly try chicken sashimi, but perfer the firmness that cooking gives to the flesh. Other meats, especially beef,bison, lamb, and venison, I enjoy from raw through medium rare- chopped or sliced.
For Thanksgiving 2005, I cooked an organic heritage turkey to just beyond medium rare (about 155)- the flavor was there, but the texture was just not as satisfying as a medium roasted turkey.
To add- I would not try chicken sashimi in the US because I just don't believe any mass produced chickens here are wholesome enough to eat raw.
re: bitsubeats
I admit that I am scared, but I have to tell you that the smell and texture are probably more of a turn off. What could possibly smell worse than raw poultry? Even washed, it has a definite odor that I find off-putting. The smell of raw pork is a turn-off to me too. Funny, but I don't find that I feel that way about the smell of beef or sashimi. Now, I eat sushi all the time, but I grimace a bit about steak tartare because I don't know where the beef comes from, nor how it was processed. Yet, I can eat rare steak because I know the outside is seared.
re: bitsubeats
As somebody that is recovering from a minor case of salmonella poisoning. I wouldn't risk eating raw chicken. I wouldn't eat raw pork either. My grandmother mentioned a few times that one of my aunts had contracted trichinosis from eating an undercooked sausage. I don't know if this is true though, but I do remember my aunt being very sick when I was about 10 or 12.
I'm not sure I'd eat raw chicken out of the fridge, any more than I'd eat fish I bought at a regular grocery store raw, as much as I love sashimi.
But I have no problem with the concept of raw chicken or its good execution. I've had it at a yakitori place in NYC and thought it was just so so. My friend had it in a small town in Japan that's known for special chickens raised for this purpose and thought it was delicious. Mine was served with a garlicky soy sauce.
I've never had raw pork.
re: cimui
I've had chicken sashimi in Tokyo at a place that specialized in it. We were told that the chickens are raised in very clean environments specially for that purpose. In other words, very UNlike how chickens are raised in the U.S. While it tasted fine, it was not all that exciting. More or less how one would expect it to taste, I'd say; kind of bland without the sauce. Texture sort of similar to a piece of hamachi sashimi. It was sort of a novelty thing (we were taken there as guests of some Japanese relatives of my husband's). I would much prefer sashimi made of seafood.
i have eaten raw chicken on two occasions at one of my favorite places in Tokyo. i will admit that i was hesitant the first time, but my brother and i want to eat everything possible at least once, so we tried it. it was served sashimi style with soy and wasabi. i was expecting slimy and rubbery and gross, but it was cool and fresh, with a nice texture and nothing like my expectations. we both remarked that it was similar to eating a nice piece of raw fish. my younger brother and father both ate it while visiting too, and while my dad liked it, he was a little squeamish and probably wouldn't order it again. my little brother loved it though (but he prefers most things under cooked). I have also eaten raw pork in Japan and i didn't enjoy it because it was a fatty piece of meat and i prefer the the nice caramelization of pork fat. also, the pork was really, well, porky and tasted a little too much like the farm for my taste.
re: mythomane
Exactly. Raw pork in the US is no more dangerous than raw beef (neither is 100 percent safe, but then, what is?). It's just long-taught habit that prevents us from eating rare, let alone raw, pork. I'm not sure raw pork would taste as good as properly cooked pork, though, since the most delicious part of pork is the fat, which is better when it's been cooked and caramelized.
re: taryn
i've eaten it in tokyo as well and the exterior was given a very light sear or something so that it had a thinly cooked layer. found it quite similar to what you mention in that it had the texture of a meaty piece of fish.
i quite enjoyed it. it's the best chicken flavour i've had and i felt it offered more complexity in the taste. i'd do it again in a heart beat but definitely not in north america unless i knew everything about the source.
i'd say raw pork isn't all that much different texture wise either. again somewhat similar to a meaty fish. i quite liked it and didn't find it overly porky but nicely subtle and still porkier than fully cooked. though i did have it as a rare-centered tenderloin sandwich and found the flavour combinations absolutely superb. a fully cooked piece of pork just wouldn't have had the same tenderness nor the flavour.
pork tenderloin sandwich
re: pinstripeprincess
My favorite yakitori restaurant serves a fully rare chicken breast, tori-wasa.
The first time I tried it, I was nervous about the texture but now it's one of my favorites. We also eat raw horse here as well, tastes like rare roast beef!
re: pamelakrest
This is just a question of common sense, or calculating a risk. Raw chicken can, of course, harbour e.coli, which cooking kills. Raw pork can harbour trichinosis, but I understand this is far less common today than previously.
re: pamelakrest
If I raised my own I doubt I'd eat them, raw or otherwise...
re: Kitchen Imp
Good quality Mett (especially Schinkenmett, from fresh ham) is amazing! I first had it on accident -- low lighting, someone handed me a plate of appetizers, I thought it was a funny presentation of tartare de boeuf -- but at first bite, all became clear. Yummy, yummy pure pork flavor. No way I would trust the US meat supply with raw pork, but from a good source in Germany, no problem. Speaking of which, I should really head across the Rhine sometime soon...
how do people feel in the US about chinese style salt poached or soy sauce chicken, which is cooked to a lower temperature, and is still a bit bloody around the bone, and a little pink in the thighs and leg? i find these birds to be delicious with good texture. everything most chicken dishes aren't: juicy and tender rather than stringy, dry, and chewy. am i playing with fire? i'm very enthusiastic about the idea of people in japan eating chicken sashimi or whatnot (though i'd rather eat some fresh, oily fish like aji or kohada), but i just don't know who to believe anymore. in the US, we've been trained to be afraid to eat almost anything. and i don't trust the organic label, either.
bottom line for me? i rarely eat chicken anyways, because i think it tastes bland. fried chicken? absolutely. stir fried? maybe. soup? always.
pork...dried out roast pork is a waste. if i can't have it a little bit pink, i'd rather eat pig in sausages, cured like bacon, or smoked into heaven.
you know..ok i'm rambling but this food scare business is far reaching. i picked up a bottle of balsamic vinegar the other day from a local whole foods, without looking at it closely. yesterday i picked it up and there was a warning label i hadn't noticed before telling me that this product contained lead.
lead. mercury. salmonella. e colli. etc. etc. it's not just raw chicken and pork. i'm equally dismissive and frightened about these things. but sometimes, when i am frightened, it's of my salad greens as much as the chicken.
re: Barbecue Joe
First, no, the freezing-for-weeks thing about sushi is not true. I'll leave it to someone else to go into that in more detail.
Second, I always wondered why you could eat rare-ish duck breast (which I love) but not rare chicken. Thanks for illuminating that issue in this discussion.
Third, I had "wild" boar (presumably farmed) loin in a Seattle restaurant, which I was encouraged to order cooked to the same degree as a similar cut of beef. I got it medium-rare and not only was it gorgeous, but I lived to tell about it, at least so far.
I personally don't eat raw land-dwelling things, can't explain that one logically since I like my seafood not cooked. However, as according to the stupid facts I learned on Iron Chef, blue foot chicken can be eaten raw. Perhaps that's what's being served in the West?
I did not know about Japan's chicken sashimi. As for Vietnam, well, I really have never heard of that until now - definitely have to ask the fam about this.
While it is possible that raw pork or chicken are served in some restaurants in Japan, it is extremely uncommon. The Japanese do not traditionally eat either of these raw but it seems this is a bit of a specialty in the Kyushu area (most parts of Japan have regional specialties that aren't necessarily common in other areas). When I did a bit of research, I discovered the chicken is "specially handled" to render it immune to salmonella or other types of food poisoning bacteria. My guess is it is handled in much the same way as proscuitto is. Apparently, horse meat is also served in this way (again, mainly in Kyushu).
One thing to keep in mind is that "raw ham" ("nama hamu") is the Japanese name for proscuitto so there could be some confusion about what it is. Proscuitto isn't exactly the same as "raw pork".
It's important not to give an incomplete picture of the way these sorts of things work or you advance the notion that other cultures are blithely consuming dangerous dishes out of an ignorance of the risk or a disregard of it. That's simply not the case, at least for Japan.
re: Orchid64
I've seen chicken served raw in some hole in the wall Japanese places and ONE southern italian place. The Japanese raw chicken was so-so. Inoffensive but really didn't have much flavor. The Italian raw chicken was INCREDIBLE though. It was marinated in olive oil, lemon and fresh ramps and covered in black pepper and salt by our server when he presented it. It was a special so I guess they don't serve it that often (maybe when they are able to get the highest quality chickens). Apparently it's native to a few small villages on the southeast coast of Italy that are known for their fresh poultry. It was truly delicious I have to say. And they served the drumstick and wing at the italian place whereas the Japanese place served thinly sliced pieces of breast. At the italian joint the skin was served immediately after and was deep fried and sprinkled with salt, powdered sugar and lightly steamed fennel slices. Amazing!
re: Orchid64
Orchid64, you're so right- your last paragraph says a great deal.
We still get significant finding reports of trichinosis in CT every year, so it still exists in pork in the US.
The Funny thing about chicken is that it isn't Salmonella and E. coli HO157 to be worried about primarily, its Campylobacter, with anywhere from 25 to 100%(depending on the various surveys of the raw meat at different times) of Grocery store chicken carrying it. It is an organism that is part of the chicken and I haven't heard of it being specific to the US ( not too different than E. coli (not HO157) being part of us). The thing about campy is that it will make you miserable for several days and although it is not associated with significant mortality - there are about 124 deaths a year in the us associated with it. Freezing does help reduce the number of organisms.
re: PaulaT
I just wanted to point out that there are other potential sources of trichinosis besides commericially raised port, so "finding reports" of trichinosis do not necessarily indicate that it came from pork.
re: Ruth Lafler
"Over the past forty years, few cases of trichinellosis have been reported in the United States, and the risk of trichinellosis from commercially raised and properly prepared pork is very low. However, eating undercooked wild game, particularly bear meat, puts one at risk for acquiring this disease."
Take care when eating bear!
This is such an interesting topic that is sooo over exaggerated. I am guessing most of the posts here are from fellow Americans grown to believe the myths and wifes tales of the past couple of centuries. I grew up hating pork chops for the sole reason that my mom and every one else I new cooked the hell out of the meat and it lossed all its flavor and tenderness. People have been eating raw chicken and pork as long as there has been chickens. The problem #1 comes from yes our processing methods and #2 that we are not used to it. As you eat more and more raw product your body naturally build an immunity to it. In my opinion there is nothing better than a thick bone in pork chop stuffed with buffalo mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto and seared to MR. Chicken carpaccio is out of this world and yes is a little weird to us Americans, but I will only do this with a chicken that I know is fresh preferably killed and cleaned in front of me. This is extremely popular in Tokyo. It always drive me nuts when I am cooking pork and I ask how they would like it prepared and they look at me as if I has two heads. Believe it or not there is more salmonella in the egg shell than there is in the yolk or white. I think ducks are a fatty meat that might not be a penetrable to bacteria and such, and I heard somewhere that ducks lay eggs once a year compared to a chickens once a day. Dont know if that has something to do with it. This conversation makes me want to call my local farmer for some fresh live chickens maybe grab a goat while Im at it. I would like to know how Yakitori gets away with it in New York? I know the health department has to have something to say about that.
re: Steven Troilo
I don't think one develops an "immunity" towards parasites... such as those that cause trichinosis... though trichinosis parasites are killed by cooking pork to 144, which isn't really even medium for pork.
I hope that I am not repeating anybody's advice, but since I do like consuming the rawer meats -including chicken myself, I comment hoping you too will be able to enjoy it thoroughly and safely. My advice is to: save up for a few months. Get over any plane-phobias you might have while you're at it. Try the medium rare chicken in Katonese fare, Hong Kong might be a safe choice. Safer, especially if you have a weak stomach and have trouble when visiting foreign countries could be Japan; the Japanese even have a saying to describe stomachs weak to bacteria they have little experience with. Yakitori -which translates to grilled chicken, is the genre you want to search, ask if they have Tori-sashimi (chicken sashimi). (I recommend Leba-sashi, liver, especially if you are fond of rich foods like froi gras and beef brain :)
Wherever you go, find a place that seems popular and clean. While raw meat served in countries where eggs and meat are consumed raw regularly can be assumed to be safe salmonella-wise, you will still want to have some of the better stuff on first try.
I had raw chicken (torisashi) and raw horse (basashi) while living in Japan. Both looked like sashimi and were dipped in shoyu. The basashi was actually quite good, sort of like a carapaccio. It had a gamey flavor but the consistancy/texture of standard sashimi. As for the torisashi, I was very skeptical at first, but when I asked my Japanese friend about it, he told me that Japanese chickens don't have diseases such as salmonella. Because I was a few glasses of wine in, I bought that excuse and dug in. I don't know how to describe it, other than saying it tasted like raw chicken. It was much chewier and lacked any distinct flavor. Luckily, I did not get sick from this experience, and I probably would not eat it again, just b/c I would be worried about potential illness. I have eaten basashi on a few occasions since.
I didn't discover the joys of chicken breast until I had it at a Brooklyn restaurant called Saul (which is now closed..boo!). I realized that it can in fact be a juicy and flavorful piece of meat if you don't cook it into a tough stringy mess! Whenever I cook chicken breast, i tend to "accidentally" under cook it very slightly so that it could possibly be pink under certain lights. It's always so incredibly juicy, and you don't get that completely raw chicken texture.
If you get an infected chicken, then yes, you could get very sick from consuming undercooked meats. When it comes to chicken, I only buy organic. There may not be an actual difference, but it's for my own peace of mind.
My advice would be to NOT just take a piece of chicken out of the fridge and eat it if you don't know what you're doing. You could get sick and it could just taste disgusting. I'd have someone do it for you. Even if you're not flying to Asia, i'm sure there's someone in the states that would do it for you. If you're in NYC, you can find chicken sashimi at Yakitori Tori Shin.
re: SevenOneAte
Are you sure Saul is closed? I ate there a few weeks ago and the web site is up...they did move recently if that's what you mean.
AB has an episode from Japan where he is in a restaurant watching the chef prepare and serve raw chicken/
In Japan, I've eaten pretty much everything raw- beef, chicken, horse, pork and almost everything from the ocean.... Here's a shot of raw pork meat, heart, liver, and small intestine, topped with a fresh raw egg and freshly grated raw ginger. All but the intestine was good.....There's also raw fermented pork sausage in Lao and other SE Asian cuisine that is quite good...And I've had pork tartare in Polish cuisine. You can buy tubes of it at stores in NYC.

Great alternative side dish! My family loved it and it was a perfect make ahead dish for a party. I loved the unexpected addition of carrorts to it- it kicked up the flavor of the dish and kept it light at the same time. I made it to accompany lemon chicken and green beans with goat cheese, tomatoes, shallots, and almonds. All the flavors melded together perfectly. I'll make this again.

So true!
After days of speculation and hype, finally came the moment when Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 along with a new range of iPods and iOS 6 on September 12. Being an Apple enthusiast, I had expectations of a revolutionary product that would yet again re-define the phone industry. Obviously, however, no such revolutionary product was launched and what we saw was an improved iPhone. I was disappointed, and so were many others that expressed their emotions on Facebook and Twitter.
As the Foo-fighters concluded their performance and iPhone 5 event came to an end, I switched off my screen and headed for dinner at a friend's house. The dinner was sumptuous and the talk was light. It helped clear my mind and focus on more rational parts of what Apple had just unveiled to the world. I realised that it did make sense from the customers' point of view. So here is a list of four key differentiating features of iPhone 5 that should really matter.
Remember last week I told you guys that samsung and apple had peacefully resolved their issues and released the Applesammy, well here it is…

"The only things in this life that you really regret are the risks you didn't take. And God knows if you see a chance to be happy, you grab it with both hands and to hell with the consequences."
—Grumpy Old Men
I couldn't have said it any better. I hope I don't have to wait until I'm a fictional grumpy old man to realize this! Sure, life aint easy. But amid all the zings and zaps are quite a few tasty morsels. And if you aren't open to them, they will pass you by. Which type of person are you? Do you grab life by the horns and ride or tie yourself to the mast? As it turns out, this isn't such a silly question. And the answer to this question has some profound consequences.

If you meditate earnestly on God's Word for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation on God's Word. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.later on today we will be sending out job offers so please, get your CV's ready and lets plunder the marketplace…

How to Limit The CPU Usage of Any Process in Linux
Have you ever experienced the situation where you open one particular application (such as Firefox) and it brings the whole system to a standstill? If you are running a web server, the last thing that you want to see is to have an application crashes the whole system and bring all the websites down.
Cpulimit is an application for Linux that can limit the CPU usage of a process. It is useful if you want to restrict a particular application from taking up too much CPU resources and thereby crashing the system. This can also be useful when you need to run several intensive programs simultaneously.

September 23, 2014
We thought that Andrea Bonanni of La Republicca best described the nature of Mario Draghi's statement at the European Parliament. There was nothing new really – after the Jackson Hole speech and his remarks after the September meeting of the governing council – but the tone has changed. It sounded more urgent, and more exasperated.
Draghi had three clear messages: the first is the recovery is weak. The second is that the ECB will do whatever it takes. The third is that none of this will work unless governments do their bit. He said the latter was not a negotiation. If governments don't do their bit, then the ECB won't either. Draghi was also tough on Germany. He said that countries with fiscal leeway should use it, and he denied the Bundesbank's claim that the measures taken by the GC would encourage excessive speculation. There is no sign of that happening, he said. He was also tough on countries who in his view had failed to use the savings resulting from lower bond yields. Some have used them well, others have used them to blow up their public expenditures.
The newspapers contrasted Draghi's statement with that of Angela Merkel (see also below on her bilateral summit with Manuel Valls), who explicitly ruled out an investment stimulus programme.
On the LTRO, Draghi said – like Peter Praet before – that one has to evaluate the impact together with the December tranche. After the disappointing uptake of €82.5bn of the first TLTRO tranche last week, a Reuters poll says the average expectation is for €175bn in December. Together, the two tranches would fall below the 2014 target of €400bn by about one third.
In its coverage, Corriere della Sera picked up on one comment by Draghi, according to which the forecast error on inflation was caused by high unemployment (which was now exerting its own dynamics).
There was more evidence that the economic weakness has lasted through the summer. The European Commission's consumer confidence index fell by 1.4 points mom to 11.4, undershooting market expectations, as Reuters points out.
We also have stories on Manuel Valls' visit to Berlin – and what Merkel and he have in common; on the impact of deferred tax assets on Greek banks; on a cut in property taxes in Ireland; on pressure by Catalan municipalities in favour of a referendum; on a proposal by the Bundesbank to overhaul the entire German tax system, on Peter Praet's idea of a single eurozone zone on the IMF's board; on Italy's revision of GDP; and on how Luis Zingales changed his mind on the eurozone.

Welcome to the eurointelligence.com homepage.
Since 2006 we have been providing our readers from central banks, European and international institutions and the financial sector with our daily morning newsbriefing, each morning, at 9am CET, Mondays to Fridays. We are independent from governments and institutions, so you get our honest, sharp and frequently humorous take on the news and the debate. The subjects we are currently focusing on are the now clearly visible economic slowdown, the sustainability of the Italian debt, whether the economic recovery in Spain is for real and our assessment of the impact of the geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe in particular. Naturally we also follow the ECB and the European institutions as they work through the crisis.
You might ask, is the eurozone still important, since the acute phase of the crisis is over for now? Unfortunately, few of the problems have been resolved. This is something you will quickly notice once you start reading the briefing on a daily basis: there is no better and quicker way to keep yourself ahead of events in the eurozone.

Since I ordered the other ones as plain signature matte, I thought I'd try this one with the Pearl White Shimmer. It's absolutely gorgeous! It adds something special to this design, just lovely. I'm going to order this suite for my wedding day, and in all pearl shimmer. The paper quality is nice and thick and the design is perfect for our day.. rustic and to me feels a little bit French. Very happy with this product :)"
"I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with our wedding programs! Everything about this program from the colors to the font and the paper was amazing. Our photo went well with the blue/green color option and we were impressed with the attention to detail. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."
"These programs are gorgeous! I didn't do anything crazy to the design, I simply made one of the text boxes bigger through a designer and they were super helpful! I saved myself such a headache ordering these instead of making them myself. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!"
"Our wedding programs turned out beautifully. I love that they match the rest of our stationery and how we were able to personalize them. We changed the font a little and made it larger. It was easy to type up the inside of the program and line it up the way we wanted. We also added a picture on the back that looks wonderful- very clear and the color is great. The paper is nice and thick, not flimsy at all. I would definitely recommend these!"

This recipe was pretty good, but I think the molasses flavoring overwhelms the dish, making it taste more like molasses than butterscotch. It took about 30 minutes before I felt comfortable to remove them from the oven. I used 6 dishes, but the servings are small.

I found this surprising easy and it had a wonderful taste. Straining was important even though it looked smooth. I made five puddings instead of six and put extra in each cup. It needed to cook for 35 min. before it set.

I made this this weekend and it never firmed up. They were just watery bowls that smelled great. Anyone know why they wouldn't firm up?

DJ Shadow & BitTorrent Team Up To Monetize Free Downloads
BitTorrent and legendary electronic musician DJ Shadow are teaming up today to test out a whole new way to monetize free downloads: A bundle of tunes from DJ Shadow's Hidden Transmissions From The MPC Era (1992-1996) featuring a free software download from one of BitTorrent's advertising partners that garners the musician cash every time a user yoinks it.
DJ Shadow's Hidden Transmissions From The MPC Era (1992-1996) is currently available for pre-order on his website (it drops on August 15), but fans can grab three tracks from the collection today via a BitTorrent bundle. The bundle also includes archival footage, photos and info, as well an optional software download (likely some form of media player). Every time a user downloads the free software, DJ Shadow will score a cut of the advertising revenue that BitTorrent collects from partners for each exchange.
This is a new concept for BitTorrent, a contested company (in that it's a filesharing tool) that has been launching campaigns and programs supporting artists for years now. The service introduced its Artists Spotlight Program two years ago, an initiative that allows artists to apply to be highlighted on the site — and in front of BitTorrent's 150 million users. It also frequently offers bundles such as DJ Shadow's (minus the free software download, until now), most recently releasing new material from Counting Crows.
"The big problem for the entertainment industry has been that people share things relentlessly online and nothing is ever going to stop that," says BitTorrent's Executive Director of Marketing Matt Mason of the new program. "What we're trying to do with this experiment is look at it from a different way and see if we can actually monetize the way that people really behave, because if we can do that — if we can figure out a way to do that that makes sense for fans and for artists — it changes everything."
So why bake a whole other product into the equation? Why not just lace tunes with advertisements? "The thinking here was to have something that didn't actually have to interfere with the content itself," says Mason. "We wanted to add something that added to the content, but the consumer didn't actually have to download it if they didn't want to." To that end, all free software downloads will be relevant to users.
According to BitTorrent and Michael Fiebach, founder and CEO DJ Shadow's digital marketing team Fame House, the musician was the natural choice for the inaugural bundle."He was one of the first artists to have an autonomous storefront on his website and he was the first artist to license music back from his major label to have a direct-to-fan store," Fiebach says. "This is just the next step in his process of figuring out new ways to have a viable business model in the ever-evolving digital music space."
And BitTorrent hopes other artists will follow Shadow's lead. Mason stresses that although the company is currently doing the heavylifting by featuring bands and promoting bundles, BitTorrent doesn't want to be a content company.
"What you're going to see from here on out is a much more dedicated and concerted effort to actually monetize content directly for content creators," Mason says. "This is the way most of the world's media is shared and our job is to create really strong conduits between creators and consumers and really just get out of their way and let them do their thing. These experiments are about finding out what kind of options we can give people, what kind of tools we can give to creators and publishers to get to the fanbases they want to get to."
What do you think of BitTorrent's new monetization plan? Will it help put more money in the hands of bands?

Target RifleJohn Henry HappoldtCharleston1855Made for Charleston's annual Schutzenfest (or "marksman's festival), this took place in the late spring in the northern part of town near the Washington Race Course. Cancelled during the Civil War years, it was later revived by the German Rifle Club in 1868. This particularly heavy rifle (23.5 pounds) is elegantly made to reflect the fanfare and style associated with the German-founded festival. Scrolled brass work, a tube foresight and an unusual ivory handled bullet starter (for muzzle loading a tight-fitting ball down the bore) were all luxurious furnishings to target pieces. Furthermore, the massive octagonal barrel is three times heavier than an average sporting rifle barrel. The thick, dense steel would reduce vibration upon discharge and keep its bullet on a truer flight path. John Michael Happoldt founded what would become a prolific Charleston gunsmithing business in the early 1820s. First located at the corner of Cumberland and Meeting Streets, he later trained and employed his two sons, John Henry and Benjamin George Happoldt in the trade. Eventually, John Michael's oldest son, John Henry, took over the family business. John Henry moved the business to 153 Meeting Street and then over to State Street, advertising all manner of personal and sporting firearms from derringers to shotguns being available at his shop. In the 1850s, the Happoldts further advertised they were capable of making breechloaders. Just before the Civil War, John Henry partnered with another Charleston gunsmith named J.P. Murray. These two renamed the business "Happoldt and Murray" and operated in Charleston for only a short time before moving to Columbus, GA.See other items from Charleston's annual SchutzenfestWeaponry Wednesday: Each Wednesday we post an object (or group of objects) from the Charleston Museum's diverse weapons collection.

Miracle Maid MotokoTalk0
this wiki
Miracle Maid Motoko is a persona Motoko Aoyama adopts following being defeated and disowned by her sister, Tsuruko Aoyama.
Acquiring a maid uniform from Mitsune's closet, Motoko took to performing the domestic tasks of the Hinata House; cooking, cleaning, taking care of the tenants and housing maintenance.
Motoko's tenacity, however, did not go over too well with the apartment residents and Motoko abandoned the persona after overhearing how badly her attempts were being received.
Other AppearancesEdit
A series of non-canon adventures featuring Miracle Maid Motoko was made for a magazine appearance.
Mahou Sensei Negima!Edit
Setsuna Sakurazaki, from Negima! Magister Negi Magi, would also don a Japanese-style maid outfit and wield a banister brush during her martial art match against Asuna Kagurazaka in the Mahora Festival Martial Art Tournament.
- In the manga it is stated that Motoko had gotten her maid uniform from Mitsune's wardrobe, however, in the anime it is stated that she got it from Haruka's wardrobe.

This morning, Jacqulyn Buglisi's Table of Silence Project returned to the Lincoln Center plaza for the third year. The public ritual for peace, performed in remembrance of 9/11, draws inspiration from Rossella Vasta's installation of 100 terracotta plates. It concluded at 8:46AM with a minute of silence, marking the moment of impact on the North Tower. In addition to members of Buglisi Dance Theatre, many of the 100-dancer cast are affiliated with the city's top schools and conservatories.

Two years ago North Texas hosted its first Super Bowl and some were concerned visitors flying in for the game might get the wrong impression with the opening of a new strip club near DFW Airport.
Two weeks before Rick's Cabaret was scheduled to open, former Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief wrote the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission asking that it deny the club's liquor license.
"I think that it should be clear to the applicant that we're not happy about it," he said in January 2011.
General Manager Eric Rubenstein was not happy with the holdup.
"We specifically designed this location because it's perfect. It's off the freeway. It's in an industrial park. There's no schools. There's no houses," he said.
Rubenstein told FOX 4 there should have been no surprises with the location or type of business. A sign had been on the property since 2005 stating it would be a sexually oriented business.
But others argued as thousands flew in for the Super Bowl the brightly lit Rick's sign would be seen from the air, as well as the entrance and exit ramps on the south entrance of the airport.
"I don't think the timing could have been any worse. But I want them to know loud and clear they are not welcome," Moncrief said.
Rick's opened right before the big game without a liquor license. And because it was BYOB the dancers were all nude.
It took until January 2012 for Rick's to get its license. Rubenstein said business is now booming. He added that there has never been any trouble or arrests at the club.

LAWTON, Okla._In the event that a wildfire breaks out, Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak wants to make sure you are prepared.
Doak made a stop in Lawton Wednesday to offer a few tips and praise the men and women in uniform who keep us safe, "The work that they do around the state of Oklahoma is just tremendous. The backbone of the state are fire and police and they do such a great jobs. The counties will come together and work but we do know that this week is with the high winds and lack of rain, it's putting our state in a precarious situation."
Doak said the best way to fight a wildfire is by being prepared. Make sure your insurance policy is up to date and your content inventory is complete. You can always stop by your local fire station as well for safety recommendations.

2. Discipline If there was one word that summed up the good poker players of the world, that word is discipline. Good card players have the discipline to wait for good hands and not play bad ones just because they are bored. Good poker players have the discipline to know when to fold a hand. Good card players have enough discipline that they can overcome the emotional hurdles that every poker player gets. Good poker players also have the discipline to constantly work towards improvement.
3. Every one of the things discussed above is a factor of major importance in becoming a successful poker player. This is true for both online poker and its conventional offline counterpart. Therefore, if you want to become a successful poker player, you are going to need to hone your discipline to the point where it is easily your strongest quality. While this might not seem necessary to some, please understand that it is the single most important thing that you can do along the road to becoming a successful poker professional player- like Annie Duke .
4. Study In addition to maintaining discipline in all of the things you do in online poker, becoming a successful poker player also involves study. You are never going to get better unless you go back and analyze what you have done. This is extremely easy to do in online poker because all of the websites provide you with hand histories that you can comb over to see what you did right, what you did wrong and what was somewhat in between. Studying is one of the most important things that successful poker players do. You will notice that most successful poker professional have excellent memories of past hands and this is primarily because they went back and studied those hands in detail.
5. Practice Even the most studious card player will not become successful until they start applying what they learn through study. It is one thing to know that Q-10 is a terrible hand in early position, but it is quite another thing entirely to actually have the discipline to fold that hand when you haven't seen anything good in two rounds of the table. Likewise, it is one thing to know that you tend to chase flushes when the pot odds are against you, but it is quite another thing to actually fold that four flush on the flop to one bet instead of stubbornly pushing through. Application of your study in practice is the thing that will ultimately make you the successful card player you want to be.

Put on your sweater, change your shoes and kick back and listen to "Mister Rogers Swings."
The buttoned down demeanor of the late Mister Rogers doesn't exactly make anyone think of smoky night clubs and the hipster scene. The album "Mister Rogers Swings" changes all of that, man. The songs from the long running PSB series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" re-interpreted by songstress Holly Yarbrough turn Fred Roger's "chart toppers" into finger snapping hot jazz. Listen to this rendition of "Won't you Be my Neighbor" and you be wondering how Mister Rogers could be so suddenly cool --- now if we could just do something about Mr. McFeely's image.
