Boys Basketball Preview: 1,000th point on Allen's horizon
By Bob Liepa
Xavier Allen #5 of Mattituck takes a shot during the first half of the Boys Class B Basketball finals at William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach on Feb 16, 2019
It's expected that at some point soon, perhaps several games into this high school boys basketball season, Xavier Allen will hit a basket or sink a free throw and achieve a milestone that a Mattituck player hasn't reached in over 40 years.
Allen will enter his fourth varsity season with 931 career points. He's closing in on the 1,000-point mark, something a Mattituck player hasn't done since Don Wilcenski in 1978, according to coach Paul Ellwood.
An All-County player last season for the Tuckers (12-10), Allen averaged 21 points and seven rebounds per game. Although listed as a guard, he can play on the wing and in the post as well as point guard.
"He's the most versatile player I ever had, the best player I ever had," said Ellwood, who takes a 128-186 record into his 16th season coaching the team. "Every year he's taken a huge step, so he's going to be fun to watch this year. He looks tremendous. He's played a lot and worked on his game and gotten stronger and bigger. He's going to do everything for us."
Rashad Lawson, a 6-3 junior forward who was brought up from the junior varsity team halfway through last season, is an impact player as well. "He's going to have to contribute a great deal for us to have success," said Ellwood.
Sophomore point guard Luke Woods will control the offense and pace of the game.
Senior forward Chris Nicholson, a defensive specialist, is "just a great kid to have on the team," Ellwood said. "He doesn't are about stats. He'll get a ton of rebounds."
Isaiah Johnson, a senior guard who missed all of last season with an injury after starting as a sophomore, offers varsity experience along with junior guard Nate Demchak and senior guard Bryan Flores.
Four juniors are new to the team: guards Sean Kobel and Declan Martin, and forwards Nikita Palianok and John Jacobs.
Last season Mattituck upset Southampton in a semifinal and reached the Suffolk County Class B final before losing to one of the strongest Center Moriches teams in recent memory.
Comparing his team of last season to the current squad, Ellwood said: "We're a little bit more athletic, we're quicker, even though we're a little smaller. I think we're still a very good team … but in a different way."
With four Nicks and two sets of twins, Southold (12-8) has an interesting team. The First Settlers may also have a county Class C championship contender.
After losing to Greenport in last season's county final, Southold wants to take things a step further.
"I feel very strongly about our potential," coach Lucas Grigonis said. "This is a season that we've been building, honestly, for four years. It started with Steven Russell as a freshman and then Nick Grathwohl and Cole Brigham coming up as sophomores. Last year we met almost every season team goal that we set out for ourselves. I feel like this year we're confident."
There's good cause for that. Southold is built to win now.
The Settlers have nine seniors, led by All-Conference shooting guard Grathwohl (19.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists per game), All-League small forward Russell (16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists), point guard Brigham and small forward Nick Eckhardt.
Grigonis said Grathwohl "can be a very intense player and in games that fuels him. When Nick is challenged, he tends to rise to the occasion."
As for Russell, Grigonis said: "Steven does everything well. I'd say it's his enthusiasm that kind of sets him apart from other players in the league."
Eckhardt's brother, Justin, a senior shooting guard, also returns along with senior twin forwards Barry and James Asip and senior small forward Jack Cosmadelis.
Junior shooting guard Sean Szynaka, a transfer from St. Anthony's, and senior point guard Paul Jordan (his middle name is Michael), a transfer from North Carolina, are new to the team along with senior power forward Nick Carr, junior guards Jaishaun McRae and Nick DeNicola and junior power forward John Kaelin.
Grigonis said the team's mindset is its strength. "We know how to be successful," he said. "I think we're willing to learn from our mistakes."
Greenport (21-3), coming off a wild triple-overtime loss to Cooperstown in a state semifinal last season, has undergone dramatic change since that crazy game in Binghamton.
"Reboot," said coach Ev Corwin (74-53, seventh season).
A good deal of recalibrating is required. That's what happens when a team loses eight — eight! — of its top 10 players, as the Porters have. Among them are some high-quality players. Ahkee Anderson transferred to Center Moriches for his senior year. Jaxan Swann and his brother Jude graduated.
Welcome to life without Anderson and the Swanns.
Corwin took a philosophical view, as in, it had to happen sooner or later. "At one time we lost Ryan Creighton," he said. "At one time we lost Gerald Crenshaw."
The Porters have only eight players on the team. Senior shooting guard Joshua Santacroce and sophomore point guard Ev Corwin, the coach's son, are the only remaining players who were on the varsity team for the entire 2018-19 season. They started most games.
Sophomore guard Jahmeek Freeman is back. So is sophomore guard Kevin Azama, who was brought up from the JV team for the playoffs.
The new additions are senior forward Jalen Stilley, sophomore forward Donovan Lawrence, 6-4 sophomore center Jordan Hubbard and senior forward Demetrios Mantzopoulos.
"I'm hoping to surprise a lot of people, and I tell them there's no reason we can't win our league," Coach Corwin said. "I really believe that."
With the severe lack of depth, he also believes the Porters must avoid injuries. "One or two injuries will destroy us," he said.
Rebounding hadn't been something Greenport had to worry about in recent years, with Jude Swann in the paint. Now it's a question mark.
"As great as Jaxan and Ahkee were, you can't replace 6-4, about 260 [pounds] of the best rebounder around," Coach Corwin said. "He starts the break. He stops penetration. It's almost an irreplaceable type of thing … You can't teach that size."
Greenport will count on the 6-1 Stilley and Hubbard to bring down boards. "Jordan Hubbard is going to get thrown into the fire whether he's ready or not," said Coach Corwin.
It's clearly a new chapter for Greenport.
"You're talking about sophomores across the board pretty much and a couple of seniors," the coach said. "There's going to be growing pains. There's no way around it."

Anthony Herbert Kay (born 13 May 1937 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire)[1] is a former English footballer who became notorious after being banned from the professional game for life following the British betting scandal of 1964.
Born in Sheffield, Kay played for Sheffield Wednesday before becoming Britain's most expensive footballer when transferred to Everton for £60,000 in 1962. Kay was capped once for England, scoring a goal in his debut match against Switzerland which England won by 8 goals to 1 in Basle.
1.1 Conviction for fraud
2 Post-football life
3 Portrayals
A left-sided wing-half, Kay started his career with hometown club Sheffield Wednesday. He transferred to Everton in December 1962, signed by his former manager Harry Catterick, and soon became the team captain. Everton were a work in progress under the ownership of the Littlewoods owner Sir John Moores and had earned the tag "The Mersey Millionaires". Kay was an important part of Catterick's evolving Everton side and the following May they were crowned League Champions for the first time since 1938–39 season.
Conviction for fraud
In 1964, the Sunday People newspaper broke the story that Kay, along with fellow Sheffield Wednesday players David Layne and Peter Swan, through the instigation of former Everton player Jimmy Gauld, had bet on their side to lose a match in December 1962 against Ipswich Town.[2] The three were convicted of conspiracy to defraud, Kay on the basis of a taped conversation, one of the first times such evidence was admitted in an English court.[2] Kay was fined £150 and sentenced to four months imprisonment.[2] On his release, after serving ten weeks, he was banned from football for life by the Football Association though the ban was rescinded seven years later. Kay claims subsequently to have been summoned to London to explain the use of taped evidence to the Kray twins.[2]
Post-football life
Kay was 28 years old when released from prison. He never returned to the professional game, but did play some amateur football. He later spent twelve years in Spain, avoiding arrest for selling a counterfeit diamond.[2] On his return to the UK Kay was fined £400 and in later years he worked as a groundsman in south east London.[3]
Upon retirement, Kay returned to the North West to settle back on Merseyside. A few months short of 40 years since his transfer from Sheffield Wednesday in 1962, Tony Kay was once again present on the pitch at Goodison Park among a group of 100 Everton Legends, as the club celebrated a record 100 seasons of top flight football at the start of the 2002–03 campaign. He received a standing ovation from the crowd.[2]
Tony Kay is portrayed by Jason Isaacs in the 1997 TV film The Fix, directed by Paul Greengrass, which tells the story of the scandal which ended his career. The story was also dramatised in the November 2009 BBC Radio 4 play The Tony Kay Scandal by Michael McLean, which included excerpts from a 2009 interview with Kay.[4]

I'm finally back from Essence Fest 2018!
Let me first just say, this is my third time in New Orleans and it never disappoints! If you haven't been, you have to put that on your to-do list asap. So where do I start? I arrived in NOLA on Thursday 7.5.2018, and I'll say the fun definitely started at the airport. There were groups of women ready to go with matching shirts, hats, and other accessories.
The rest of our first day was spent getting acquainted with the city and on Bourbon Street. So if you've ever been to NO, you know how much fun that was.
The next day we had breakfast at another favorite spot, The Ruby Slipper Cafe. I had an omelet, biscuit, and grits. Many of the restaurant lines during the weekend were at about a three hour wait. This one was no different so needless to say buy the time we sat down to eat, I forgot to snap a picture.
After breakfast, we headed over the the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center which is where many of the Essence festivities were happening. My favorite part about the convention center is going over to the natural hair brands and checking out their products and samples. We went from vendor to vendor and checked out what was going on on some of the main stages. There were panels, contest, performances, and so many other exciting things. Here's a video of what was going on at the McDonalds #365black stage when I got there.
As a result of the movie "Girls Trip" last summer which was about four friends who got together to go to Essence Fest, the festival this year was PACKED! I would say that was the only downside to the weekend. I heard that 300,000 more people than usual attended this year. You'll have to confirm those numbers but it kind of put things into perspective. With that, the convention center was a little less enjoyable as we stood in lines for hours at the convention center, restaurants, and many other places.
After this, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the concerts! The first show I caught was Snoop Dogg which was everything. Snoop did a lot of his hits, then brought out several gospel artists including, The Clark Sisters and Fred Hammond. Right after that we got to witness my favorite show of the weekend: The Roots, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. I'm a huge fan of all of these artists so to see them together was a real treat!
The next day we got up early in hopes of getting through the lines at the convention center but it turned out to be even more crowded than the day before. We got through a few lines, walked around, and headed out after that.
That night we headed to the concert for night two. We were able to catch everyones fav right now, Ella Mai first. Shortly after that we were blessed with Queen Latifah, Brandy, YoYo, MISSY ELLIOT, and Mary J Blige! All of these ladies were phenomenal and I left feeling more inspired than ever.
On the last day, we got up for breakfast and headed over to Cafe Beignet. We ate breakfast and of course, beignets! We then had to do some New Orleans shopping of course! New Orleans has some of the best shopping you'll every experience. There is a large mall on the River Walk that we went to before heading over to some of the local retailers.
We then headed over to the Super Dome for the last night of the concert series. This is where we saw Fantasia and Janet Jackson to close out the weekend.
Overall Essence Weekend was just as amazing as I remember two years ago. Everywhere you look there's natural hair, good food and so many laughs. Being in New Orleans among other beautiful Black people and feeling like the majority and the not the minority is always the best feeling. I'm already looking forward to next year!

China Cities Rising As World's Most Powerful. Shanghai Bests San Francisco.
Kenneth Rapoza Senior Contributor
I write about business and investing in emerging markets.

Chinese cities are climbing the ranks as the world's most powerful, with Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai now topping household names like Los Angeles, Berlin and Tokyo, to name a few.
But in order for China to keep rising to compete with the likes of Western power centers, it needs to create cities more open to diversity and more inclusive, say analysts from A.T. Kearney in their 2019 Global Cities Index. The report was published in May.
Diversity and inclusion in China?
Yeah, good luck with that, fellas.
As Chinese cities become more international, complete with ubiquitous Starbucks cafes and Apple Stores, balancing the local population's needs for easy and affordable modes of transportation and housing with individual fulfillment is becoming essential. In other words, most of China's cities are kinda boring, especially compared to the world's top 5 cities: New York, London, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Still, Beijing beats Washington, D.C.
Xi Jinping's home city is ranked No. 9 on the Global Cities Index while Donald Trump's new home city is ranked No. 10 (it is up one notch, while Beijing is flat from 2018).
A.T. Kearney says that one of the ways Chinese cities can climb up the ranks, enabling Shanghai to one day surpass Hong Kong, for example, is more diversity. They singled out sexual orientation in their report.
"Shanghai's pride week provides an ideal example, ensuring the self-expression of the city's LGBTQ residents and improving Shanghai's reputation on the global stage as an inclusive city," report authors led by Mike Hales and Jefferson Wang wrote.
Shanghai's 19th place on the Global Cities Index remains unchanged from 2018. The city is ahead of Boston (21) and San Francisco (22).
One type of diversity that is perhaps more palatable to the Communist Party in Beijing is bringing in high-skilled, foreign workers. Hong Kong has been a bastion of this for over a century, owing to its British colonial heritage. That is not so in most Chinese cities.
Tall buildings of Shanghai's Lujiazui financial district rise above a morning fog. Shanghai is ranked No. 19 on A.T. Kearney's Global Cities Index, ahead of Boston and San Francisco.
Although the report does not reference China's Greater Bay Area project, a high-tech development zone linking Hong Kong to mainland cities in the southeastern part of the mainland, Beijing could score A.T. Kearney's diversity points by importing foreign tech workers in a manner similar to the H-1B visa program in the United States.
"A scarcity of talent has led to fierce competition among Chinese cities," says Wang.
Initiatives that foster opportunities in higher education and support startup ecosystems help attract newcomers and enable cities to keep the talent they have. Chengdu, located in central China, has become one example of this. Its startup community counts many Europeans and Canadian-born Chinese who are looking for opportunities in China's burgeoning tech market.
Chengdu is ranked No. 89, unchanged from last year's ranking.
Over the past 40 years, China's cities have gone from traditional dynastic structures built around courtyards to modern, glass and steel skyscrapers symbolic of modern-day capitalism.
Their urbanization rate rose from 18% in 1978 to 60% in 2018. China's urban population now stands at around 830 million.
City governments pursued rapid expansion and an increased population and economic output to build up its urban areas over the last 20 years. It led to a global commodities super-cycle that lasted until around 2008, crashing and never really recovering after the Great Recession here in the U.S.
Downtown Hong Kong. The only American city that beats it is New York City, ranked the No. 1 city in the world by A.T. Kearney.
And so by 2011, China's urbanization began to slow down. Urban diseases appeared due in part to pollution and poor urban planning around things such as water and sewer.
At this point, Chinese cities shifted to quality-oriented development, designed to mimic the international lifestyle of Hong Kong. This became the key contributor to the fast growth of Chinese cities climbing up the ranks of A.T. Kearney's Global Cities Index, Wang wrote.
"The next round of city transformation will focus on citizens," Wang wrote. "At a macro level, this means building a sustainable population structure. At a micro level, it means improving the well-being of citizens."
A.T. Kearney's annual Global Cities Index is meant for corporations looking to assess which cities can deliver in the areas considered most important for business growth and most attractive for foreign employees.
China has 27 cities on the Global Cities Index this year. The Index has 130 cities, of which 11 Chinese cities populate the list of the top 100.

The MyDomaine Guide to Shopping at Brooklinen
Lindsay Boyers is a writer and nutritionist based out of Massachusetts. One of her favorite pastimes is finding the best products to improve your health and your home life at the best prices. With 12 years of experience, she has written for Healthline.com, Livestrong.com and The International Journal of Professional Holistic Aromatherapy.
If you've shopped online for linens, whether that be sheets, towels, or comforters, it's almost guaranteed that Brooklinen has come up in your search. The online-only home brand is a leader in the industry, and rightfully so. During its creation, Brooklinen's goal was to give you access to "high-quality towels and sheets with prices that won't keep you up at night." It did that and then some.
Brooklinen prioritizes quality—all of its products are made with high-quality materials, like Canadian duck down, Belgian flax, and Mulberry silk—responsible manufacturing, and accessible prices, so you can dress up your home with items that make you feel good without any buyer's remorse. In 2019 Brooklinen took it a step further and launched Spaces by Brooklinen, a marketplace featuring furniture, décor, and home accessories from emerging brands to complement Brooklinen's own products.
With all of the brand's popularity, you might be wondering which products are definitely worth the hype. To make it easier for you, we did a deep-dive and rounded up the best, can't-miss products from Brooklinen.
Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set
Brooklinen

If you're looking for sheets that feel luxe but are way less expensive than traditional luxury bedding brands, you'll go full heart eyes over this set. Made with 100 percent long-staple cotton, Brooklinen's best-selling sateen sheets have a 480 thread count arranged in a buttery-smooth weave that's as comfy as it is sumptuous.
The sheets come in solid colors as well as subtle patterns, and they have "long" and "short" side labels—a small, but much appreciated, touch. They're OEKO-TEX certified free of harmful chemicals and dyes, and are available to purchase in three different sets: The Core Set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases; the Starter Set includes a fitted sheet and two pillowcases; and the Hardcore Bundle includes a Core Sheet Set, extra pillowcases, and a duvet cover.
The Best Luxury Sheet Sets to Upgrade Your Bedroom and Your Sleep
Brooklinen Waffle Robe
View On Brooklinen
With Brooklinen's Waffle Robe, you'll look forward to stepping out of a hot bath as much as you look forward to relaxing in one. Made with 100 percent Turkish cotton arranged in a unique weave texture that's lightweight, absorbent, and fast-drying, this robe is as stylish and comfy as it is practical.
Gone are the days when your robe feels sopping wet for hours. This robe wicks moisture off your body and dries quickly, so you can get dressed right away or lounge around for a while. It comes in three classic colors—white, smoke (light gray), and graphite (dark gray)—and three size combos, making it one of the best unisex robes out there. If you're not a fan of waffle weave, Brooklinen's Super-Plush Robe has a more traditional terrycloth feel, while the Linen Robe is a lightweight option that's good for warmer climates.

With the Super-Plush Bath Towels, you can turn your bathroom into a luxury spa, sans the massage therapist. These premium, luxury weight towels are made with an extra thick, 100 percent Turkish cotton fabric that's durable and cozy—the GSM (aka the weight of towel measured in grams per square meter) is 820, which is on the very high end.
One of the best parts about Brooklinen is the range of colors the brand offers, and their towels are no exception. The Super-Plush towels come in seven neutral colors, all of which are OEKO-TEX certified for chemical safety. You can buy these towels a few different ways: Aside from purchasing in sets of two, you can also buy one of three bath bundles depending on your needs. Commerce editor Nicole Lund has these towels and recommends them:
There's plush and there's plush. These towels fall into the latter category, and they are truly the nicest, thickest, coziest bath towels I've ever used.
Brooklinen Montrose Hoodie
Courtesy of Brooklinen
Brooklinen is known best for its bedding and bath, but their loungewear selection is not to be missed. Their offerings include sweatpants, tees, and jumpsuits, as well as cozy sweatshirts like the Montrose Hoodie. Available in two colors—gray and black—this hoodie is available in sizes XS-XXL and features a lined hood for extra coziness.
MyDomaine editors also recommend the sweatpants (specifically the Bed-Stuy Pant and Boerum Jogger), although sizing is limited right now. Other standouts from the loungewear section include the Adelphi Jumpsuit and Morgan Tank, both of which are made with a super soft jersey fabric that you'll never want to take off.
Brooklinen Classic Core Sheet Set
Another classic Brooklinen product, the Classic Sheets are the bedding of choice for hot sleepers. These percale sheets have a 270 thread count, and feel remarkably light, airy, and breathable, so you stay cool and comfortable all night. Unlike other percale sheets that feel a little too crisp, Brooklinen's Classic Sheets feel soft right out of the box, so you'll still get that cozy feel without sacrificing breathability.
They're available in eight core colors and a few limited edition prints that change depending on the season. Like the Luxe Sheets, the Classic Sheets can be purchased in three different sets, as well as individually if you just need to replace a top sheet. As an added bonus, they get softer the more you wash them, so if you're looking for a way to bring that five-star hotel luxury into your bedroom, this is it. Editorial director Kate Geraghty is a long-time fan of these sheets:
When I finally took the plunge on my first set of "grown up" sheets, I'd done enough reading to know that this sheet set was going to be the perfect fit—and it is! Crisp, but also somehow soft, these sheets really are the best of both worlds.
The Best Bedding and Sheets Deals of February 2022
Brooklinen Down Comforter
The Brooklinen Down Comforter isn't just any down comforter. Sustainably-made with a down cluster fill from duck and geese, it's super soft, cozy, and even hypoallergenic. Unlike other down comforters that end up being a clumpy mess, the baffle box construction of this comforter keeps everything evenly distributed so it lies flat—and you stay comfortable.
This comforter comes in three weights, so you can choose the one that works best for you. The Lightweight is made from recycled European down and is best for hot sleepers; the All-Season is made from Canadian duck down and is the most versatile option; and the Ultra-Warm is made Hutterite goose down and has a whopping 750 fill power. If you're on a mission to make your bed the comfiest place on earth, one of these comforters is what you need.
The Best Down Comforters for Your Coziest Sleep Yet
Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Bundle
Silk is the epitome of luxury, but it's also excellent at reducing friction damage on your skin and hair, so you can sleep like a queen and wake up looking like one too. The Mulberry Silk bundle, which includes one pillowcase and one eye mask, is made of 100 percent pure Mulberry silk—the highest quality natural silk that you can buy.
The satin weave used to bind the fibers together—called charmeuse—is intentional, ensuring that both the pillowcase and eye mask are breathable when they need to be, yet insulating in the colder months. An excellent bedtime companion all year long, this set also makes for a great gift no matter the occasion.
The Best Silk Pillowcases for the Sweetest Dreams (and Chicest Beds)
Brooklinen Down Pillow
A high-quality down pillow is a bedtime staple, but some arrive overstuffed while others lie too flat, creating a real Goldilocks conundrum. Brooklinen solved that problem with its down pillow, which is made with a combination of down feathers and clusters and comes in three different support levels.
The Plush Pillow is the softest, so it's perfect for stomach sleepers. The Mid-Plush Pillow is a back sleeper's dream, while the Firm Pillow provides enough support for sleeping on your side. Oh, and all three have durable, double-stitched edges, so you don't have to worry about feather stems poking you in the face—an annoying problem with other pillows.
Get Your Most Restful Night Yet with These Pillows for Every Sleep Position
Brooklinen Linen Core Sheet Set
While Brooklinen's percale and sateen sheets tend to get all the attention, the brand's linen sheets deserve a lot of love too. Lightweight and soft right out of the box, these linen sheets are made from high-quality Belgian and French flax and are individually washed and dyed to ensure a lived-in, unique look. While they're more expensive than the other sheet sets, they're actually on the more affordable side when it comes to linen, which tends to be priced much high than other materials.
These sheets come in six different colors and can be purchased as a Core Set (one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases) or in a bundle with a duvet cover and extra pillowcases. You can also purchase just the duvet cover separately. The linen sheets are a favorite of a few members of the MyDomaine team, including VP of Commerce Dwyer Frame and email editor Kate McKenna:
I treated myself to these linen sheets knowing I was about to face another hot and humid NYC summer. Not only are they breathable and soft, but I've continued to use them through the fall and winter. They keep me warm and cozy without overheating, and I love that the price point isn't as high as other luxury linen bedding.
Brooklinen Weighted Comforter
There are a lot of weighted blankets out there, but a weighted blanket that looks like a fluffy down comforter? Now that's fancy. This high-quality comforter has the quilted look of a traditional down comforter, but instead of feathers it's stuffed with a combination of plush filling and glass microbeads. Of course, the quilted design looks beautiful, but it also has a functional purpose—it ensures that the microbeads stay evenly distributed throughout the blanket, so you get the full mood-boosting benefits and a deeper, more restful sleep.

FORT WAYNE, IN – September 30, 2017 – The Deer Park Irish Pub will be hosting its eighth annual Craft Beer Festival, Saturday, September 30, 1 to 5 p.m. The festival has been organized to provide a forum for nationally-known craft brewers to celebrate their art and tradition with local beer enthusiasts, says Deer Park Pub owner Tony Henry.
Among the dozens of well-known micro-brews in attendance will be Fort Wayne's Newest brewery Hop River, as well as, Mad Anthony's, Rhinegeist, Taxman, and many more...Henry says. This year, it appears, many Home Brewers from Fort Wayne's MASH club are coming out of their garages to bring their very own hand crafted beers.
There will also be fresh burgers, German brats and signature Bush's® baked beans available for purchase.
In addition, Riegel's Pipe & Tobacco will be hosting a cigar table featuring fine, imported cigars.
Admission to the event is $25 in advance or $35 at the door. Those in attendance must be 21 and over, but pets are welcome to accompany their owners. Henry said proceeds from the festival will go to the Miss. Virginia Food Pantry. The pantry provides food for the working poor and unemployed.
Tickets are available at the Deer Park Irish Pub or online at https://deerpark2017.eventbrite.com. For more information, contact Tony Henry, Deer Park Irish Pub, at (260) 437-8254.

The Mending Wall
Sample Chapter: Prologue (excerpt)
Education & Workshops
"…I have come after them and made repair
Where they left not one stone on a stone…"
— Robert Frost, "Mending Wall"
It was March in Maine when John Young became a local hero. There had been an unseasonable thaw, and then a subsequent cold snap and flurries, which gave ponds slushy, tricky patches you had to avoid.
John had been doing an "emergency" Sunday job at the Wedding Cake House, out in Kennebunkport. The owner's nephew had accidentally backed into the 100-year-old wall while plowing the driveway, smashing it into a jumbled pile of rock. He tried to restack it out in the snow, quickly realized he was in over his head, and called Leo, the handyman whose number he found stuck to the refrigerator.
"You should have seen him, man," Leo had told John, "Trying to fix the wall before his auntie came back from Florida. He was out there freezing his balls off. I told him, 'No offense, man, but you restacking this wall is like asking a monkey to repaint the Mona Lisa.' I gave him your card. 'This guy is an artist,' I said. 'The only master craftsman waller in Maine.'"
When John arrived, the nephew greeted him with an upward nod. "You the stone guy?" he asked. Then, "How quick can you fix this?"
"Few hours," John said.
"Cutting it close," the nephew said. "My aunt is supposed to be back this afternoon. Look, it's kind of a piece of shit…can't we do it quick?"
"I'll do my best," John said.
The nephew stood by while John got started, separating the top course of stones from the bottom. Normally John would be on edge to have someone watch him, but he knew that kid wouldn't hang out for long in the cold.
"The handyman guy said you were a pro," the nephew said. "Is that why your hourly rate is so high?"
"I've been doing it for a while. And it's a Sunday. I don't usually work on Sundays."
The nephew looked at John's old dump truck, the Moody Blue, and the attached trailer with the tractor. He walked around it, his hands shoved deep into his tan corduroy pockets. "This thing an antique?" he asked, pointing his chin at the truck. His brown Saab—shaped like a baked potato—was parked in the far corner of the driveway. It had a UCONN sticker in the back window.
"It's over 20 years old," said John. "So technically, yes."
"Passes inspection and all, huh?"
John silently located the base stones in the pile, laying them close together, with their broadest side against the packed, frozen ground. He assessed the size of the long, heavy thrufters and decided to unload the tractor. The nephew watched closely.
John began placing the first course over the base, using the tractor to lift and guide the thrufters into place, where they'd run through the width of the wall, stabilizing it. As he'd predicted, the nephew soon went inside.
The rest of the wall sagged from years of neglect and frost heaves. John studied it while he worked steadily on the wrecked portion, which he knew looked a little too clean and tight to pass for untouched.
Sometimes, he had to do what the customer wanted. This often meant ignoring his overwhelming sense to restore a wall, and to instead simply repair—"preserve"—it back to its disheveled state. But he'd been driving by this wall for years; he'd envisioned its potential, and he felt honored to work on it. He was in a mood today—he had to listen to the stones, had to make it absolutely flawless—even if it was just a section, and even if that meant restacking it later.
When he finished, he put his chisel, sledge and shovels back into the Moody Blue, and the nephew came out.
"Man," the nephew said, looking at the wall. "It looks too good. She's going to know we messed with it. Isn't there any way you can loosen it up?" He grasped a stone on the top course and rocked the weight of his skinny, frat-boy body against it. It wouldn't budge. "You shouldn't've changed it…" he said. "It's historic. Why did you change it?"
"I didn't change it," John said. "I restored it. This section is how it originally looked a hundred years ago—maybe even better." He jumped on top of the wall, his breath freezing in a huff. He rocked from side to side, to prove that nothing moved, nothing wobbled. The nephew still didn't look impressed.
"I see what you're doing," the nephew said. "Trying to make the rest of it look bad, so you can get some work 'restoring' all of it. This isn't the time to be messing with…a piece of history."
"You know what?" John began. He took a deep breath. It wasn't worth it. He'd get his check and leave. "If you're aunt isn't happy with it, call me up, blame it on me. I'll fix it."
The nephew sighed. "Defeats the whole purpose, though, you coming out here today. She'll still know I wrecked it."
"Well, maybe she'll like it." John was exhausted. "Anyone who knows anything about restoration will be happy with that." He wanted to get home—he kept thinking about beef stew.
"Whatever, man. You're the expert." There was a tone of condescension in the kid's voice.
The nephew was working John's last nerve. "Look," he said. "Try finding anyone else to stack stone in March. I don't need your friggin work, either, by the way. And—oh—next time you drive a snowplow, try not to fuck up history by backing into it."
The nephew raised an eyebrow, dismissed him by taking a checkbook from his jacket and clicking open his pen. "Who do I make the check out to?"
"How about 'Guy who saved my ass?'"
It was starting to get dark when John got home. He put his tools back in the barn. The house lights were off; Allison must still be at her friend Carrie's house. Since turning thirteen, she never seemed to be home. As he clicked the big padlock shut on the barn door, the street light on the corner flicked on—it was when kids knew it was time to come home. He was walking toward the house when he heard the panicked shouts from behind the barn.
That morning, Allison had asked him if he thought the pond was still okay for skating, and he'd told her to wait for another full week of freezing weather, to play it safe. Weeks ago she and Carrie were working on spins, and they brought John to the pond to show him their Waltz jumps. Allison's jump was cautious but the landing beautiful, her thin legs steady in rainbow legwarmers, her rosy face grinning with pride. Carrie's jump was impressively high but she landed on the toe pick, nearly falling, her blonde hair whipping forward before she regained her balance. They were eager to get back onto the ice today and make their jumps perfect.
"But we stay where it's shallow," Allison told him that morning. "I'm sure it's frozen solid. It has been all winter."
"No," he told her. "Just stay off it today. Let me check for sure this weekend."
He rounded the corner of the barn, his body hot with adrenaline, his steel-toed boots squeaking the snow as he ran across the half acre toward the channel-fed pond at the edge of the woods.
Allison's red coat was what he saw first. She was flat on her stomach against the ice. "Reach for me!" she was shouting.
In response, a heavy gasp. Splashing. The fingers of Carrie's purple gloves were visible, fingers curled, trying to dig into the ice. The top half of her face and blonde hairline barely protruded from the hole in the ice; she held herself up the same way a swimming dog holds his nose above the water.
"Carrie, reach!" Allison screamed.
"Allison!" he yelled.
Water whipped from the ends of her two long, dark braids as she turned to look at him. A surge went through him when he saw her face—relief that she wasn't in the water, horror that Carrie was, panic that Allison could be, at any moment. "Dad, Carrie fell through. She fell through! I can't get her!"
"Don't you move, Allison…don't you goddamn move an inch toward that hole!" His tone snapped her into focus, and she froze her body, nodding slightly.
He jogged along the small pond's shore, crazed with facts. It was getting dark; soon he would barely be able to see. Allison was a featherweight—90 pounds, maybe—and he was at least twice that. He couldn't go onto the ice; he had to run back to call for help. But he couldn't leave them. And the closest neighbor was a quarter mile down the road.
A long-forgotten storage area of his brain engaged, spewing out information: A person could only stay conscious for 20 minutes in freezing water—less than that if they were thin or struggled. Some could survive for up to 90 minutes, if they stayed calm, brought their knees to their chest to keep their organs warm, and didn't thrash.
The trick was to stay calm.

When a little polar bear named Peter finds Santa's red cap in the snow, he sets off to return it and along the way discovers a secret about Santa.
Accelerated Reader AR LG 3.2 0.5 60185.
Polar bear -- Juvenile fiction.
When Little Bear finds Santa's red cap in the snow, he sets off to return it to Santa. Along the way, he learns Santa's special secret. When a polar bear names Peter finds Santa's cap in the snow, he is determined to return it to him. The only problem is that he is not old enough to meet Santa himself! Nevertheless, he heads off to the North Pole just in time to return the hat to a mysterious old woman on Christmas Eve. For his kindness, the old woman tells him a special secret--the secret of the North Pole and of the jolly old elf himself.
PreS-K-Lobato explains one of the enduring puzzles about Christmas-how Santa delivers all of those presents all by himself in just one night. Finding a red hat in the snow, a young polar bear journeys to the North Pole to return it to Santa. There he is shown a secret: many, many men dressed in red suits help the real St. Nick deliver the gifts. The succinct text is set off by dramatic paintings of an empty Far North landscape, against which the polar bear appears very small, vulnerable, and appealing.-S. P. (c) Copyright 2010.

The first of the beast's roars almost tore the flesh from his bones. The second, a nerve-splitting bellow that crashed inside his brain, very nearly made him give in before he'd even begun his challenge.
But he hadn't convinced his body he could do it. His first attempt at tying the string to the door failed. He was so nervous that his fingers just wouldn't work. It was like wearing mittens and trying to knot raw sausages.
Taking a deep, shuddering breath he finally managed to pass the string through the hatch and secure it to one of the little bars in the opening. Weighing the sword uncertainly in his hand and letting the string play out behind him, he took his first faltering steps down the dark passageway. The blackness clung to him, trying to crawl inside his skin. The maze of tunnels was everything he'd been expecting- and more. They had the mystery of night, the terror of loneliness. They lay deep beneath the earth, where the sun never shone and the fresh wind never blew, and the silence there was heavy. The air was clogged with a choking animal musk. The walls of the tunnel by the entrance were smooth and regular, built from huge blocks of stone. But as he penetrated deeper into the gloom, he noticed a change. The walls were worn and they were slippery with something thick and shiny. Blood maybe. He flinched then walked on, his feet thudding dully in the cold, still air. Those echoing footsteps shook the close, uncomfortable blackness that clutched at him like a hand. No more than fifty paces from the door the tunnel branched in half a dozen different directions.
He moved forward, unrolling the ball of thread as he went, and stopped. He was still considering his options when he heard the beast again. This time the sound was a low, throaty growl. It was closer, and moving purposefully towards him.


I honestly wouldn't have read this book if it wasn't for my book club. ...and my life would have been missing something AWESOME!
I'm actually a fan of science fiction and space stories, but I was worried that I was going to feel really stupid while reading it. I'm not stupid, but I'm not a scientist either. I was pleasantly surprised.
One thing that I really enjoyed about this book - it is hilarious. I highlighted so many quotes.
When I was first reading it I was wondering how the heck they'd be able to keep things going for 400ish pages with just Mark's logs. Then it switched POV, and I realized I would be getting a broader perspective of everything that was going on. I was quite impressed by it. This was, hands down, my favorite book that Sofia has forced upon me under the guise of her bookclub.
I'm not really a fan of movies in general, but I will have to go see this one when it comes out in theaters. Everyone needs to read this book immediately! I've been recommending it to pretty much everyone.

(Immigration and Asylum Chamber)	Appeal Number: EA/02397/2019
THE IMMIGRATION ACTS
Decision & Reasons Promulgated
On 4 November 2020
On 10 November 2020
UPPER TRIBUNAL JUDGE PITT
KHURRAM SHAHZAD CHATHA
(ANONYMITY DIRECTION not made)
DECISION AND REASONS
1. This is an appeal against the decision issued on 24 October 2019 of First-tier Tribunal Garratt which dismissed the appellant's appeal against a decision of the respondent dated 12 May 2019 which revoked his EEA family permit.
2. Mr Chatha is a citizen of Pakistan, born on 7 April 1995.
3. The appellant was granted an EEA family permit valid from 1 February 2019 to 1 August 2019 recognising his status as the extended family member (EFM) of his brother, a Portuguese national exercising Treaty rights in the UK. The appellant entered the UK on 20 February 2019, relying on that permit. On 21 February 2019 he applied for a five year residence permit recognising him as an EFM. Whilst that application was pending, the appellant left the UK on 11 April 2019. When the appellant returned on 9 May 2019, he was detained pending further interview but released on bail on 11 May 2019. In a decision dated 12 May 2019, his six month family permit was revoked and he was refused entry. This decision appears to have been served on him on 13 May 2019. The appellant appeared the revocation and also made a further application for a five year residence permit. That application was refused on 27 June 2019.
4. The appeal before the First-tier Tribunal was heard on 17 October 2019 in Manchester and the decision dismissing the appeal issued on 24 October 2019. Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal was granted by the First-tier Tribunal on 21 February 2020.
5. A hearing in the Upper Tribunal listed for 24 April 2020 was adjourned as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. On 5 May 2020 the Upper Tribunal directed that the parties provide written submissions on whether the Tribunal could make a decision on the papers as to whether there was an error of law.
6. The appellant agreed that the error of law decision could be made on the papers. The respondent conceded in a submission dated 10 August 2020 that the First-tier Tribunal decision disclosed errors on a point of law. The submission stated in paragraph 4:
"The judge has plainly become confused as (sic) the decision actually appealed give (sic) that the appellant was refused on admission on attempted second us (sic) of a family permit; that the case in general is dogged by repeated misstatements of what documentation was in play and what legal status it bore; and it is not apparent that the correct Regulations framework was applied to the case. It is not our view that the determination is salvageable and would propose that the matter be listed for a further hearing, with representations to follow on the venue. To pre-empt that course if agreed, the Respondent would take no strong view on remittal or retention but would suggest that the case would benefit from careful case management either way."
7. Having considered all of the materials including the written submissions of the parties, the Upper Tribunal finds that the decision of the First-tier Tribunal discloses the errors of law identified in the respondent's submission dan grounds of appeal, in particular the approach to the documentary evidence, parts of which, potentially material to the decision on dependency, were not addressed in the decision. The error of law found is such that the First-tier Tribunal decision must be set aside to be remade.
8. Having had regard to paragraph 7 of Part 3 of the Senior President's Practice Statement dated 25 September 2012, and in particular where all findings of fact on the core issues of dependency must be re-made, it is appropriate for the re-making to take place in the First-tier Tribunal.
9. The decision of the First-tier Tribunal discloses an error on a point of law and is set aside to be remade de novo in the First-tier Tribunal.

Purely coincidentally, I've been reading N. M. Kelby's White Truffles in Winter about the last days of the celebrated chef Escoffier alongside Jonathan Grimwood's The Last Banquet, set in pre-Revolutionary France. Both are about Frenchmen with a passion for food who love and admire women, both have recipes scattered through them and both men are looking back over eventful lives at a crucial point in history. Kelby's novel is an affectionate portrayal of a man dedicated to the pursuit of perfection but who knows how to make chicken taste like sole when the fishmonger fails to turn up. At the end of his life, his wife desperate to have a dish named after her before she dies, Escoffier is still obsessed with Sarah Bernhardt with whom he has enjoyed a long intimacy, willing to teach the sassy Sabine how to cook for the resemblance she bares to Bernhardt alone. Not yet finished it but I'm enjoying it very much.
Escoffier and Jonathan Grimwood's Jean-Marie d'Aumout would have had much to talk about. We first meet the five-year-old Jean-Marie in 1723: he is enthusiastically eating stag beetles, analysing their taste and describing it to himself. Orphaned, he is rescued by the Duc d'Orléans who introduces him to the delights of Roquefort and sets him on a path which takes him to the military academy where he meets friends who will remain influential in his life, and in the world, then marries twice for love – once to a noblewoman he rescues from a wolf, once to a peasant – becomes Manager of the Menagerie for Louis XV, negotiates with Pasquale Pauli on the eve of the Corsican war for independence and is take prisoner, then retires to his chateau where he treats his workers well and pursues his scientific and culinary curiosty, always attended by Tigris, the blind tiger he has reared from a cub. For Jean-Marie, the whole world's a pantry and continues to be so throughout his long life during which he consumes an astonishing variety of things, from flamingo's tongues to well, you'll have to read it to find out what the last banquet is. He is the embodiment of Enlightenment values – he corresponds with Voltaire and writes the Corsican entry for Diderot's encyclopedia, he is a deist fascinated by science and his enlightened ideas extend to the way he runs his estate. Having followed the trajectory of the Age of Reason the novel ends in 1790, the year after the Revolution began. Vibrantly original, filled with vividly descriptive passages and with a brilliantly playful cover, The Last Banquet rivals The President's Hat as my best read of 2013 so far.
Given that the excellent Canongate are Jonathan Grimwood's publishers it seems appropriate to wish them a happy fortieth birthday. Lots of celebrations planned throughout the rest of the year, apparently, and they're on the look out for the next generation of storytellers working across all media, from books to film and games – find out more here. You have to be Scottish, though.

I stumbled across your blog last week and have been enjoying your reviews. I also liked White Truffles in Winter, and hope to read The Last Banquet soon. Other similar reads you might want to seek out (also about young chefs with a passion for food) are John Saturnall's Feast by Lawrence Norfolk and Appetite by Philip Kazan [which I reviewed here if you're interested: http://www.welovethisbook.com/reviews/appetite%5D.
Very pleased to hear that you've enjoyed the reviews, Rebecca. Funnily enough I was thinking as I read both books that there seemed to be a bit of a trend for foodie novels. I'll add Appetite to my ever lengthening list – gorgeous cover.

In the US, we're gearing up to celebrate Thanksgiving. For many of us, that means gathering with family and friends (and possibly traveling to do so).
After an election cycle that was the most stressful of my lifetime, this is the perfect time to take a moment, to breathe, and to reflect on gratitude. Thankfulness can be difficult. With the election behind us and uncertainty in front of us, taking a moment to thank ourselves and our loved ones is a simple yet profound gesture. This week we're sharing a simple but effective foot soak that you can pull together almost anywhere.
Soaking the feet encourages circulation by dilating the blood vessels, drawing the blood to circulate from the head down to your toes. This combination of aromatic herbs quiets the senses.
Place the herbs in a large pot on the stovetop and fill with water. Cover and bring water to a low simmer for 5-10 minutes. Find a comfortable place to sit and recline while you soak. Place the basin in front of the chair and fill with the heated herb mixture. Add in Soaking Salts. Adjust the temperature as desired by adding cool water. We like to keep the foot bath on the hotter side, but not too hot so as to burn your feet. Place feet in basin and cover with a towel. Sit back, turn off your phone and relax for 10-20 minutes.

EPITAPHE: French progressive death-doom metallers announce new album "II"
Acclaimed French progressive death-doom metal act EPITAPHE is pleased to announce their upcoming second album "II", due out April 11th 2022 via Aesthetic Death (CD) and Gurgling Gore (tape). The official album trailer is now available HERE. On occasion there are bands who offer promise... an unfettered guile, a disdain to established norms, an unbounded exuberance and liberated freedom that only comes with a debut recording. Seldom does that promise, that anticipation of something great, be realised in a follow up. However, it is a rare talent that not only meets a destined promise but far exceeds it. EPITAPHE are one such band. EPITAPHE take the primordial funeral death foundations that were at the core of "I" and exquisitely hone and meld their unique sound and identity upon that. "II" is a beautiful work – an album that, firstly, needs to be consumed as a whole, to experience the full variation and journey therein. It is clearly more than just a collection of tracks. This is a subtle and enigmatic journey, more progressive in its composition and craft, almost Floydian in its lighter atmospheric moments, yet never losing the notion that it is borne out of death metal. The composition, musicianship and tone are exceptional – all members attuned to the other creating a symbiosis and cohesion with the EPITAPHE sound. As with the debut album, the sound design and mix of "II" has been in the hands of James Leonard at Plastic Lobster, creating a spacious and majestic sound, with the mastering undertaken by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios. Stunning cover art by Petri Ala-Manus. Not only should this album be to many a highlight of 2022 – it's an album which has the quality to withstand the test of time. Tracklist:
01. Sycomore 02. Celestial 03. Melancholia 04. Insignificant 05. Merging Within Nothingness

Las Vegas evaporates in flame as the terrorists reveal their future target: Washington DC. Now, the FBI must find the terrorists before the capital becomes a Ghost Town. The clock is ticking. Created by Dave Dwonch (Double Jumpers) and Rob Ruddell, artwork and cover by Justin Greenwood (Resurrection, Wasteland). 34 pages. For Mature Readers.
For Nate Lawson, breaking into the Ghost Town has been a lucrative thrill ride, retrieving treasures left behind in the wake of the terrorist act that left Washington a cordoned off nightmare. He's made plenty of money, but he's never taken a job like this. He's never rescued a person. And he's never faced off against a monster like Tyrell Desmond.
Nate Lawson has been running since the world went to hell two years ago, and he's almost at the finish line - the biggest payoff of his career. But every action has a consequence. Every gun in the Ghost Town is trained on him. Will he live long enough to deliver Hannah to her father? Find out in the shocking conclusion to "Godfathers and Daughters!"

R 8/09 - Distrust Labels
The petition for review was filed by the (second) opponent after the Board in decision T 919/07 had maintained the opposed patent in amended form. The discussion focused on the use the Board had made of document D28 in the oral proceedings (OPs).
[…] The petitioner contends that during OPs he was not aware, and could not foresee, that D28 would be regarded as experimental evidence in relation to the claims rather than the strenuously argued possible prejudice. The only experimental evidence on file was that contained in two other documents filed by the patentee. [1.3]
It is a matter of fact that the distinction on which the petition is based between D28 as evidence of "prejudice" and as "experimental evidence", appeared for the first time in the decision. At least there is nothing leading the Enlarged Board to think that at some earlier point such a distinction was made. Thus, the exception mentioned in R 106 seems to apply and this Board considers that the petition is at least not clearly inadmissible. The question whether the fact that the Board stated that D28 was taken as experimental evidence and not as evidence of a prejudice deprived the opponent of an appropriate defence and violated its right to be heard is an issue regarding the substance and thus the allowability of the present petition. [1.4]
The petitioner contends that its right to be heard was violated and that the decision took it by surprise. In this respect, it relies on the assumption that its argumentation would have been different had the Board, prior to or during the OPs, drawn its attention to the fact that D28 would be regarded as experimental evidence and not as evidence of a prejudice. To dispute the merits of experimental evidence requires detailed arguments about the material facts which is not the case when the dispute is only about the existence or not of prejudice as a concept. The only arguments presented by both respondents in respect of D28 were related to its use as evidence of prejudice. In other words the petitioner alleges that the Board used D28 in an improper way and drew wrong information from it; this could have been avoided if the petitioner had known that D28 would be regarded as experimental evidence and been allowed to make the appropriate more detailed arguments. [2.1]
However, the fact that the patentee considered D28 to be a crucial document was already clear from its grounds of appeal, where it was discussed at length [… and the other opponent] replied at length. [2.2]
The question was also debated during the opposition proceedings. As the petitioner quoted in its petition, the other opponent stated in its submissions that the examples cited by the patentee did not represent a prejudice […]. It is also to be noted that in its submissions, the patentee […] explained in some detail why D28 suggests that the reaction would not proceed at all and why it was thus most surprising that the successful reaction occurs. [2.3]
It is true that as a matter of vocabulary, the patentee used the word "prejudice". But it is equally true that it also submitted that what D28 was intended to prove was that the skilled person had no reasonable expectation of obtaining the McMurry reaction using the formula of the patent at issue. That D28 was discussed in detail under that angle is also evidenced by the fact that the patentee speaks of "the experimental results described in D28" [in its] grounds of appeal. [2.4]
Assuming for the sake of argument that D28 had been filed as evidence of technical prejudice in the meaning acknowledged by the case law (namely an opinion or a general preconceived idea widely and universally held by experts in that field), and that it was implicitly obvious for the respondents that this could not be the case, it would none the less remain a fact that the document formed part of the debate, and was presented by the appellant as crucial. Whatever the legal label allocated to this document, its contents were not a general concept but a description of a reaction which called for precise arguments- as was done in [the other opponent's] written submissions. Whatever D28 was called, challenging the correctness of its technical disclosure was a necessary step in order to dispute that its specific results could amount to an opinion generally shared by experts in this field. This approach was not inconceivable for the petitioner who objected to the fact that "the Patentee extends the specific results obtained" to a prejudice against heterocoupling in general. The fact that it might be obvious that the reaction in question did not amount to a technical prejudice did not mean that the evidence of the reaction as disclosed in D28 should not or could not have been challenged. [2.5]
Because the change of the label put on D28 did not change the discussion to be held on it, the petitioner also cannot rely on T 18/81. [2.6]
Insofar as the submissions of the petitioner may be understood as challenging the correctness of the decision of the Board of Appeal in its interpretation of D28 and in maintaining the patent in amended form as a consequence of that interpretation, such a review would concern the question of the correct application of substantive law and is thus outside the scope of proceedings under A 112a. [2.7]
It follows from the foregoing that it is evident that no fundamental violation of the right to be heard occurred during appeal proceedings. Since that was the only violation alleged, the petition has to be rejected as clearly unallowable. [3]

This year is my debut year for hosting Thanksgiving and I have been pouring over all my cooking foodie magazines to figure out how to go about creating the feast. Traditions need to be kept that will stir memories and keep the spirits alive at dinner. My Grandma Frieda's buns and Grandma Carol's wild rice soup and corn bake.
And a new tradition shall begin roasting the bird upside down. So smartly simple so all the juices run right into the best part of the bird versus left on top to dry out.
How to roast Thanksgiving turkey upside down!
Place the turkey on the rack with the breast side down. This protects the white meat from overcooking and allows it to absorb the juices as they run downward into the bottom of the pan. Then, for the last hour of roasting, carefully remove the pan from the oven and flip the bird over. Return it to the oven with the breast side up, allowing the breast skin to crisp up and get golden brown.
Also take a peek at this blog very well documented how to cook the bird upside down. In fact I think I will be using some of all of these direction in my kitchen. In addition I heard you can cook the turkey the day before to free up oven space becuase it's so moist.
Lastly I ordered a fresh not frozen bird. So the count down begin's I pick the bird up fresh Wednesday the 27th .
