REVIEW: Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster Box

“Beef, it’s what’s for dinner.”

Well, maybe, not as much.

Beef prices have skyrocketed due to this year’s drought causing food companies to adjust their sizes and prices accordingly. For example, there’s Burger King who downsized to burger peasant with value menu attempts like the Bacon Burger. That, at least, is one way of trying to solve the problem of how to keep consumers interested in a changing supply landscape. The other is a lot more simple; just kill more turkeys.

I don’t mind too much. Not that I’ve ever seriously entertained the notion of hosting barnyard animals at social gatherings, but, if pressed as to which mammal I’d prefer to own should I ever come into possession of a working farm, I’d likely pick the gentle bovine over the gobbling Thanksgiving centerpiece. No offense to turkeys, but they’re just ugly to begin with.

They don’t taste that bad either, at least not in deli meat form. Given that fact, as well as their “healthy” reputation, we really should have seen Arby’s new Turkey Roasters coming sooner. No, not that kind of Roaster. More like this:

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club “Roaster” is one of three new turkey-centric sandwiches from the chain, pairing the usual suspects of Swiss cheese, bacon, and mayonnaise with thinly sliced oven roasted turkey.

According to Arby’s, it’s a sandwich so good, it actually “tastes like it’s more than a sandwich. We like to think of it as a savory, taste bud tingling masterpiece.”

It certainly passes the eye test, although the box language shows about as much humility as Terrell Owens in the prime of his career. The actual sandwich doesn’t exactly match up to the photo, but a heaping and hot (so hot, it’s even smokin’) portion of turkey shows up under a restrained glob of mayonnaise and thick, black-pepper bacon.

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster Mayo

There’s more than enough fresh leaf lettuce and juicy red tomatoes to let you know there was some effort put into making the sandwich, while another layer of mayo anchors the the insides to the Harvest Wheat bun. Only problem? That would be the Swiss Cheese. As in, where the heck is it?

After some poking around I noticed a not-really-melted slice of (unfortunately) hole-less Swiss was under the shaved Turkey breast. It’s an interesting construct that allows some of the cheese to melt (eventually) but the portion seemed rather skimpy to me. All can be forgiven with taste, however, and at nearly the price of a $5 footlong, you can bet it ought to be.

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster Bacon 2

The thing is, it wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to like about the sandwich. The bacon and Swiss cheese both contribute a mild smoke flavor, with the former adding a peppery kick and subtle crunch, while the latter contributing a milky taste and bit of needed fat. I really like Arby’s bacon, which contains the perfect ratio of meaty crunch and chewy fat to be the end-all, be-all of what you want from a pig.

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster Turkey Closeup

But the turkey, moist as it was, is singularly salty. How salty, exactly? Tough to say knowing we all perceive sodium differently, but I estimate it about halfway between raising your blood pressure and adding to the physical properties of the Dead Sea. I was hoping the Harvest Wheat roll would add a nice and wholesome sweet balance along with the tomatoes and lettuce, but they all seemed drowned out by the salty flavor. The mayo helps add a little tang to balance things out, but it too seems bland and just serves to tack on calories.
There are other missteps, as well. The roll has good flavor on its own, but it comes off as stale, while the subtle honey sweetness isn’t discernible when taking a complete bite. The toasting seems awkward in this application. While the cheese, unevenly melted, plays an odd and unwelcome second fiddle to the watery crunch of the lettuce.

Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster Bun

Taking a look at Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Roaster is like taking a look at a masterpiece of taste but eating the watercolor portrait I painted of myself in second year high school art. Structurally, it’s more than sound, but it’s not going to make any one’s regular lunch rotation any more than that painting of smiling Adam will ever find its way out of my grandparents’ house. It’s just too salty and too bland to warrant the high price, failing to deliver a complete taste for what are individually tasty ingredients. Lacking that “X factor” so many of the best fast food sandwiches seem to have, it’s hardly the greatest thing since sliced beef, and no match for Arby’s much better Angus sandwiches.

Item: Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster
Purchased Price: $4.75
Size: 233 grams
Purchased at: Arby’s
Rating: 5 out of 10
Pros: Better than Buddig quality roast turkey.  Bacon is meaty, smoky, and black peppery. Swiss cheese and mild smoke flavor and milky richness. Harvest wheat bun has good flavor. Fresh vegetables. Getting your roaster fix on without burning out your eyeballs.
Cons: Salty and bland. Lacking an “X factor” of flavor. Bun was stale. Mayo just adds fat and calories. Unevenly melted Swiss cheese. Needs wider bacon coverage. A bit on the pricey side.

4 thoughts on “REVIEW: Arby’s Grand Turkey Club Turkey Roaster

  1. WHAT is up with the sodium content?? Fresh turkey has a wonderful, subtle taste w/o adding all that salt. The sandwich actually looks delicious, and Arby’s typically does have good-quality lettuce and tomatoes. I’m just depressed now thinking the primary taste is… salt.

    Did all the savory scientists who create this stuff see the movie with Angelina Jolie and get excited? They want Salt in everything now?

  2. I really like these sandwiches. I do not find the turkey to be that salty, and do find that the slight sweetness to the bun and the tang of the mayo makes for a perfect flavor combo. I would give it closer to a 7 or 8.

Family Champions Women’s Education

As Women’s History Month draws to a close, an area family continues to celebrate a significant historic achievement of its own – having five generations of women who have attained a college education.

When Johanna Mary Kathryn Staffel of Bethany graduated summa cum laude from West Liberty University on Dec. 14, she represented the fifth generation of women in her family to complete college studies.

Hanna, as she is called, is the daughter of Dr. Mary-Bess Halford-MacLeod and Dr. Peter Staffel of Bethany. Her father is a professor of English and director of the honors program at West Liberty.

After graduating with a degree in elementary education and a minor in early childhood and special education, Hanna is returning to Iowa for another summer as a counselor at Camp Albrecht Acres, a camp for people with special needs. This fall, she will be moving to Winston-Salem, N.C., for a year of service with the Abraham Project through the Episcopal Service Corps. She then plans to pursue a career in teaching.

Hanna’s mother, Mary Elizabeth Halford-MacLeod, known to friends as Mary-Bess, graduated from the University of Stirling, Scotland, in 1976 with honors and a first-class degree in German language and literature. In 1981, she became the first person to graduate with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in the German department of Stirling University. After moving to the United States with her husband, she earned a Master in Library Science degree at Louisiana State University and worked at Tulane University and as library director at Bethany College.

Mary-Bess’ mother, the late Giovanna Mary Durst, known as Vanna, studied Italian at Oxford University in England. She was employed by the British intelligence agency, MI6, and served in several parts of the world. Her husband and Mary-Bess’ father, the late Aubrey Seymour Halford-MacLeod, was a longtime member of the British Foreign Service and served as the British ambassador in Iceland.

Vanna’s mother, the late Alice Winifred Durst, graduated from King’s College, London, with honors and a degree in zoology. She grew up in India, where her father was an indigo planter. She and her husband lived in Florence, Italy, and in England.

Alice’s mother, the late Emma Booth Headland, studied at Newnham Hall College, Cambridge. In 1882, she set out for India, where she had been appointed headmistress of a school. On the journey, she met Edgar Hill, an indigo planter in India. She returned to England in 1901 and lived in Sussex for the rest of her life.

Considering the limitations placed on women seeking an education in earlier times, the women of this extended family were definitely high achievers and, in many ways, ahead of their times. Brava!

FestivALL, a popular arts festival in Charleston, will mark its 10th year this summer. To celebrate the anniversary, organizers said several new events will be added to the June 20-29 festival.

New events will include FestivALT, an alternative rock and country concert Saturday, June 21; a West Virginia Writer’s Roundtable on Sunday, June 22, with special guest Scott McClanahan, author of “Hill William” and “Crappalachia”; theater performances created around public art by Pittsburgh’s Attack Theatre Saturday and Sunday, June 21-22; West Virginia Music Hall of Fame “WV Squares” game with Peter Marshall, a West Virginia native and former Wheeling resident; Art-for-ALL, a juried art show for children in grades K-6; Appalachian Festival of Young Voices and the St. George Orthodox Cathedral Religious Icon Festival.

The Easiest Way to Preserve Late Summer Produce: Freezer Slaw!

The Easiest Way to Preserve Late Summer Produce: Freezer Slaw!

Megan Gordon
Oct 8, 2012

If you're much into canning, you've likely turned towards fall jams and apple butter at this point in the year. Maybe you're preserving the last of those early fall tomatoes. But wait just one minute! We've discovered a use for sweet peppers and tomatoes that's even easier than canning — and just as delicious. Freezer slaw.

Food writer Sheri Castle recently wrote a piece on peppers of all sorts for NPR. In the piece, she discusses different kinds of peppers and how to properly roast ripe peppers ... and then, there's that freezer slaw.

Freezer slaw is essentially a combination of cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, a slew of spices and a few other ingredients. You bring them all to a boil and then, instead of canning the old-fashioned way (which often scares so many folks away) you simple refrigerate or freeze it. Castle insists that the slaw maintains its crunchy integrity and delicious flavor in the freezer for up to three months just fine. She suggests using it to dress up hot dogs, sandwiches or as an accompaniment to soups or a pot of lentils.

About That Other Music Festival That Took Place This Weekend

07/19/2010 5:13 PM |

We weren’t in Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival, but lots of other people were, so let’s live vicariously through them via a carefully curated trip through YouTube. Hang on to your iPad (skinny jeans? vinyl? fedora? I can’t think of any other hipster stereotypes, and they’re all so funny I can’t stop). This is going to be fun:

You can hear the crowd singing every word (Pavement – “Cut Your Hair”):

‘Member when Modest Mouse used to be just three dudes and everyone threw a hissy fit when they started adding members? Here’s reason to think they’re better with more (Modest Mouse – “Tiny City Made of Ashes”):

Not much to say, I’m just jealous (LCD Soundsystem – “All My Friends”):

I think that’s the same t-shirt Spencer Krug wore at their CMJ show at Bowery Ballroom in ’05 (Wolf Parade – “I’ll Believe in Anything”):

Us (those not in Chicago this weekend) vs. Them (those who were) (Titus Andronicus – “Titus Andronicus”):

Life, affirmed (Broken Social Scene – “World Sick”):

One Comment

  • Greg Kot over at Chicago Tribune has the run down on why Pavement didn’t stream, read it and weep: http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/tur…

    You know, I could take this like an adult and say yeah ok whatever, not important, or I could be a “proper” fan and say YOU don’t take away CANDY from a BABY, so FUCK YOU, PITCHFORK, and FUCK YOU, PAVEMENT. There, that feels better.

East Anchorage transplant: Life on the other side Orange Rhymes With Full view

East Anchorage transplant: Life on the other side

I’m not new to Anchorage. In fact, in the five years I’ve lived here full time, I’d argue that I’ve managed to explore more of it than most. By way of the inter-city trail system, the Front Range access via upper and lower Hillside and the outlying trails snaking down the Turnagain Arm, I would have claimed to be very well versed in the city. Considering the fact that I spend my summers landscaping, finding hidden neighborhoods that you normally would have no reason to come across, I’d have expected to have ceased finding new areas of town by now.

I was very accustomed to the east side of Anchorage and all of its quirks. I knew the hours and delivery policies of all the restaurants in the area, and had become so familiar at Thai Kitchen that they knew my name by my order. I haunted the space between the U-Med district and Muldoon for years, intimately familiar with every trail, side road, and hole in the wall burger joint imaginable. Since moving to the Sand Lake area I’ve realized that there’s an entire side of Anchorage that I’d been neglecting for all these years.

The first thing you notice about the area is that everyone seems to be running. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Mothers run with strollers with extra kids running alongside, and all manner of children who really ought to be in school seem to be training for the Hunger Games on the side of road.

Intrigued, I figured I’d follow the “when in Rome” principle and go for what I expected to be an easy run at Kincaid the other day, having been vaguely aware that it was a nice area rife with ski trails and a meandering disk golf course. Three hours later I emerged from what was almost certainly not a trail, covered in dirt from falling down an icy hill, and completely dumbfounded at the vast expanse of land the park inhabits. I wandered up and down two hills that must have been intended for biking and across ski trails that snaked through a dense forest of devils club before finding what I thought to be the main trail again. Twenty minutes later, I stumbled across a map that indicated that I had somehow found the coastal trail and was headed towards downtown Anchorage, which was unfortunately about three zip codes away from where I’d parked.

Apparently, once I cross the Seward Highway, all sense of direction goes out the window. I’ve grown a bit more accustomed to the main “berry streets” such as Raspberry, Strawberry and even Cranberry, but every third day I end up on some obscure berry (like Marionberry or something equally ludicrous), which almost always turns out to be a meandering one-way cul-de-sac intended only for bikes. The upside of this is that any would-be stalkers that might be following me should have even less luck in locating my home than I do.

Then there’s the Jewel Lake area, which must be contained in some sort of time warp, because the area doesn’t look like its aged in decades. There’s the True Value hardware store that I’d previously thought only to exist in farther-flung towns like Homer and Glenallen, which seems to have only survived the competition of big box home stores by hiding out in an alternate timeline. Then there’s the Tastee Freez, which has quite literally existed since the fifties and seems to anchor the area to a bygone era of small town diners.

It’s consistently baffling to me that I can drive to UAA within fifteen minutes of the new apartment because it feels as if I’ve moved to an entirely different city, trading the base of the Chugach for a more coastal view. So far my neighbors don’t seem to be dealing anything, and the neighborhood children don’t appear to be forming any sort of Warriors style street gangs. I no longer have to risk sliding off the Muldoon on-ramp on my way into town, or science equipment stolen for daring to venture down Reka Drive. I even seem to have left the jurisdiction of the Anchorage code enforcement officer that had been stalking my car and threating to have me towed for the apparently vile offense of parking outside my own home.

Call it a new adventure, or simply a change of scenery, but I’m actually enjoying the chance to re-explore a city I thought I knew. Not all traces of the Anchorage I knew have disappeared however. I’m still able to find an identical Thai and Pho restaurant on every corner, the streets are still filled with poorly driven Subaru’s and the other night I was awoken by a weirdly familiar series of eight gunshots followed by the sound of a car speeding off.

Ah, Anchorage. Some things never change.

Day M95: 2011, In Memoriam

I was looking to do something with some of the people I met last month for New Year, but all of them had either gone home or had shifted themselves off the mainland to an island resort for the holidays. So, out of ideas, I returned to Suva to see if my old partner in crime, Renato from Peru, was still knocking about at the South Seas hostel. He was. So we hit the bars hoping to see the new year in in fine fettle.

After a few drinks in the Bad Dog Café, we moved into O’Reilly’s next door. There I ran into James Shute, one of the cadets from The Southern Pearl (and relative of Neville). He had some bad news: the pilot onboard The Pearl, Captain Mafi, passed away in his sleep last night. I couldn’t believe it. Captain Mafi, the tall, wily, softly spoken Tongan — with whom I had sat up with for many a night this month drinking kava and putting the world to rights — was no longer with us.

A sad end to what has been a lousy year for The Odyssey Expedition. In 2009 I got to 133 countries. In 2010 I reached a further 51. This year I’ve been to 7.

The year started well. I was taking a short (ha!) break from The Odyssey (the tally was 184 countries visited, 16 to go…) and I got to see in the new year in Melbourne with my long-suffering girlfriend, Mandy. I had been assured by various parties that a yacht would be made available to help me get around the Pacific nations in three months rather than the seven or eight months it would take to do it on cargo ships. All I had to do was bide my time until this mythical sailing ship was ready to go.

A few days later I headed over to the mmmmmm HQ to talk shop and find out when I could expect to be paid enough to even cover my own expenses for devising, presenting and filming the eight-part TV show “Graham’s World”, which has now been broadcast in over 70 countries and repeated at least 100 times on National Geographic Adventure alone.

I have to admit, the answer “probably never” wasn’t quite what I was expecting.

Neither was my first royalty cheque from the mmmmmm (owners of mmmmmm) which arrived this September for an insulting 600 quid. I could have made more cash spending five minutes filming my cat falling off the television and selling it to You’ve Been Framed instead of spending 365 days of my life single-handedly shooting over 150 hours of footage in 133 countries, some of them the most dangerous places in the world.

Actually, I would have made more money staying at home and claiming the dole. There’s a incentive to get a proper job, eh kids?

People sometimes ask me if I’ve been robbed or conned on the road. My reply is “yes, but it wasn’t by a taxi driver…”.

Furious at mmmmmm, furious at myself for signing that f—ing contract (“I can’t believe you signed it!” gloated mmmmmm), furious at the world, I then found out that some huge family feud had blown up between my parents, my auntie and my cousin a couple of months before and nobody had told me about it. But there was something much more important going on in my family. It was my brother Alex who broke the news to me.

Our big sister, Nikki, had liver cancer.

I gave it a couple of weeks to see what the prognosis was, but when a biopsy revealed that the cancer in her liver was secondary, I flew home to the UK.

“Have they told you how serious it is?” asked Nikki when I went to see her at Wrexham Hospital. I nodded. “That’s why I’m here.”

When you’re travelling you get this foolish notion that everything and everyone at home exists in some kind of stasis, but of course, life goes on – for better or for worse. I was in the UK for three weeks, spending the majority of that time with Nikki and Alan, her eldest son. I did get to catch up with my old friends – Anna, Stuart and Matt dropped everything to come out to see me on my first (Monday) night back. My love for my mates and my hometown of Liverpool has not diminished one iota.

Towards the end of March I said goodbye to Nik (well, I couldn’t bring myself to use the word ‘goodbye’, so I just left it on a limp ‘see ya’ – it’s hard to use the word ‘goodbye’ when you know for certain you’re never going to see somebody you love ever again) and headed back to Australia, since I had been assured that I would be setting off into the Pacific in this yacht in just a few days time.

I left on the Sunday. Nikki died the following Saturday. I missed my own sister’s funeral, I missed being there for my family, my dad, my brothers, my four nephews now without a mum and whose father has been estranged for years… for what? Did this f—ing magic yacht actually leave at the end of March? No. April? No. May? No. Did it ever actually exist? To this day I can’t be sure.

But after the loss of Nikki and given the comforts of staying in Melbourne with Mands and the constant reassurances that this yacht would be ready to go “very very soon”, I was content to loosen the reigns on The Odyssey Expedition and wait while somebody else got their act together.

Meanwhile, the news coming out of the UK seemed to go from bloody awful to even worse. My uncle Brian suffered a stroke and was in critical condition in hospital, my dad had now fallen out big time with my older brother Mike and my good friend Simon lost his father to cancer. In the maelstrom of this doom and gloom I sat and I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

By July it was pretty self-evident that this yacht, if it did exist, would not be heading off into the wild blue yonder any time soon. So I hit the publicity circuit, appearing as a guest on Channel 9’s Today Show and dozens of radio programmes, always ending the interview with the plaintive cry of “if there are any skippers out there with a yacht, looking for a sailing challenge, please get in touch”.

Many did, but they all said the same thing. “Would love to do it, but you’ve left it too late in the season to start now. If only I knew about this in March…”.

I want you now to imagine your humble narrator kicking seven shades of crap out of himself for being so utterly stupid. And trusting. And… ugh, I don’t know, everything was just as messed up as they could possibly be.

By now I was hating Melbourne with a passion: that horrible, boring, expensive, smug, bitchy, racist, sprawling Stepford-Wife of a city. In six months I hadn’t been invited to the pub once. I had not attended a single house party. After the fondness and affection I felt from my friends back home in Liverpool, Melbourne seemed to go out of her way to make me feel uncomfortable, unwelcome and unwanted. And do you know the most frustrating thing? Hardly anybody was even in the slightest bit interested in what I had been doing for the past two years. No “tell us some stories!”, no “what was it like backpacking through Afghanistan?”, not even a polite “so did you get bummed in that African jail or what?”.

Most people’s only (oft-repeated) question was “so when are you leaving?”. Yes, bugger off Graham, you’re spoiling the village green.

I consider myself somewhat of an interesting character, and I feel like I’ve done some interesting things in my life. But Melbourne, conspiring to be at once uninteresting and uninterested, left me feeling colourless and dull. A cog in a machine, a number clocking in and clocking out, just another one of the teeming masses. The fearless adventurer in me was withering away in a pit of apathy and wasted time.

The only ray of sunshine was my irrepressible girlfriend, Mandy, but as my visa didn’t allow me to work, financial issues and the lack of a definite plan for the future started putting something of a strain on our relationship.

The saddest thing was that I couldn’t even afford to get drunk. When it’s US$14 a pint in your local stinky flea-pit boozer, it’s time to dig your way out of Shawshank.

So with my visa expiry date looming, I went back to Plan A: Get around the Pacific on cargo ships. I knew this would take me an age, but it would mean I would take back the reigns of The Odyssey Expedition and I wouldn’t be waiting or relying on any other party to fulfil their end of any given bargain. So the emails, phone calls and all that jiggery-pokery commenced. Assisted by the delectable Lorna Brookes, the dependable Dino Deasha, the debonair Alex Zelenjak and of course the delightful Mandy Newland, Team Odyssey was back on the case and things started coming together.

Thanks to Swire and China Navigation I ticked off The Solomon Islands and Australia (officially!) and thanks to P&O Cruises I got to strut my funky stuff around New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. Thanks to Pacific Direct Line, Neptune Shipping, PIL and Reef Shipping I conquered Wallis and Futuna, Tuvalu, Kiribati and The Marshall Islands – the same companies are going to assist me in a few days time to leave for Samoa, Tonga and New Zealand. In less than three week’s time I will have been to 194 countries and only have 7 more to visit – the ones I missed out along the way: after all, in the original plan, New Zealand was my last port of call.

Let’s make no bones about it: 2011 was the worst year of my life. But look on the bright side (as I always do!)… 2012 heralds the discovery of the Higgs Boson, the re-election of President Obama and the end of The Odyssey Expedition. I’ll see you there.

  1. Graham, I’m so sorry for your horrible year and the losses along the way, I want you to know that I am very proud of you and love you and Mands to bits – you WILL do this and you WILL get the rewards you deserve.

    RE: people not wanting to hear your stories – I think it might be a bit more about them than you, you know? The second someone tells you that they’ve been to 95% of the world’s countries with barely any funding and just because they WANTED to, the question that comes into most people’s head is “why aren’t *I* doing something so amazing? why don’t I get off my arse and make the things I dream about real?”. You and I have had frequent conversations where I’ve pulled out the mortgage and career excuses but we both know that if I really wanted something all I’d have to do to make it happen is just start making it happen and if I don’t do that then I can’t complain about it. The fact that I have a person in my life who ALWAYS does that, who never, ever shirks from a challenge makes me a better person for the reminder and you who you are. Keep your chin up. As if you need me to tell you.

  2. Just read this.. real sorry for your loss.
    I must say, I knew you had a brave soul even before I met you in person but to share so “light-heartedly” to all of the difficulties you’ve passed at a personal level in order takes lots, and lots of courage. Chapeau.
    Graham, what you’ve experienced in Melbourne is something that I’ve gone through. No one is ever that interested in stories.. it’s beyond reach mentally. I’ve never had people, apart from very good friends or exceptional people whom I’ve had the chance to meet, really asked me about what happened during my trip or inquired specific details.. I think it’s a matter of conception and circumstance. What we aspired to do and what you are still doing now is beyond day to day hassle that it’s not really worth asking about because not many can, and unfortunately, want to know about or compare. It’s best if they remain stories. If you, and I, remain characters, to read, view, hear about.
    Sad, but quite true.
    Hope to hear from you. And perhaps come across again in another adventure or a meet anywhere in this very small world. 😉
    FORZA! FORZA!!! 7 TO GO!!!!

LoveInChains (eCard Portfolio) KEEP GOING

Howdy y'all (ugh, I'm never saying 'howdy' again)! You may find both the title and the words of this card quite familiar. That's because it's a Bit of Nostalgia! Shameless self-promoting, I'm sorry. I mostly did this card to be used as an example for the challenge in the case that people weren't quite clear in the concept.

Thanks to the help of my graphic design major friend Jake I was able to set the standards of this card a tad bit higher than previous ones. The font was highly deliberated over for a good hour, he helped me with the colours, and he provided overall moral support. And even though I shiver at the mere mention of the anime known as BLEACH, I really like this card.

Okay, so here's the original card that I used as inspiration. The font was originally very cramped and didn't flow very well at all. A mix between grungy and smooth typography that should never have happened. But! I'm still glad I made it because look at what it brought about! Haha!

Next is the quote, it's a famous one from Winston Churchill that was featured in a pretty moving monologue on Teen Wolf so that's where I originally heard it from.

Now onto the actual meat of the card! Links provided!

Fonts used were 28 Days Later for HELL, Capture It for IF YOU'RE GOING, and cityscape for THROUGH and KEEP GOING

I hope you guys enjoyed the Bit of Nostalgia!

Tom Karst, National Editor
Tom Karst, National Editor

In a news release about the “alphabet soup of wins and losses for nutrition” in the farm bill, American Heart Association chief executive officer Nancy Brown issued a statement about the various ups and downs of the legislation.

Brown gave a thumbs up to multiple provisions in the bill that promote healthy food consumption.

But the American Health Association executive was not at all pleased with cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which she said will make it hard for some seniors and low income families with children to afford a healthy diet.

And then, somewhat surprisingly to me, she took direct aim at a tweak to the well-loved Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program.

Brown wrote:

“We are also troubled that the legislation creates a pilot within the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program that expands eligibility beyond fresh produce to canned, frozen and dried options.

“While the association believes that all whole fruits and vegetables regardless of their form are important for kids to eat, the current program plays a unique role by providing the poorest children in our country with much-needed exposure to fresh fruits and vegetables.

“We will closely monitor this pilot effort to ensure that it does not undermine the impact and integrity of this nutrition education program.”

Ms. Brown, I couldn’t agree with you more. Indeed, why gum up the machinery of the well-tuned Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program? Lobbyists for marketers of canned, frozen and dried fruits and vegetables are no doubt rejoicing with the approval of this stealthy pilot program.

Importantly, the farm bill (Section 4214 if you are scoring at home) maintains the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program authorization and baseline funding at $150 million per year.

The new pilot program will be a one-year evaluation (established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) for schools in at least five states that may offer canned, frozen and dried, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, as part of the program.

Lawmakers set aside $5 million to evaluate the pilot and deliver a report to Congress by Jan. 1.

That doesn’t sound so bad, does it? A tiny little pilot program to appease processors and their lobbyists who have been hell-bent to elbow into the program. Except processors don’t see it as a token measure.

One dispiriting news release from the American Frozen Food Institute, McLean, Va., was headlined “AFFI Lauds Final Passage of Farm Bill Adding Frozen Fruits and Vegetables into Popular School Snack Program.”

Frozen industry leaders sounded as if long-suffering children were at long last rewarded with the prospect of consuming nutritionally superior frozen fruits and vegetables.

What’s more, the idea by the frozen food folks is that this pilot will “enable Congress to consider the benefits of permanently expanding the USDA program to include all forms of fruits and vegetables — including frozen — during next year’s reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act.”

In other words, scoot over. We want our share.

Keep it fresh

It is too bad that the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program can’t remain unique. After all, USDA commodity purchases for school meals and other feeding programs are heavily skewed toward processed forms of fruits and vegetables.

In fiscal 2013, the USDA purchased only $3.7 million in fresh apples out of total apple product purchases of more than $61 million. Applesauce purchases were a whopping $34 million, and even frozen apple slices scored more than $6 million.

As the heart association’s Brown said, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program gives our country’s poorest children much-needed exposure to fresh fruits and vegetables.

A fresh pear is a much different experience than a canned pear. A freshly peeled clementine evokes a different set of senses that tinned mandarin slices.

At the Washington Public Policy Conference in October 2011, Sen. Tom Harkin, author of the 2002 pilot Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, warned about the prospect of trying to expand the program to all forms.

“I can’t tell you how many times I have been lobbied to add dried fruits to the program, canned and frozen fruits to the program, frozen vegetables to the program,” he said. “Heck, one guy suggested we could add beef jerky to the program.”

“How about soybeans too?” Harkin asked.

Harkin prophetically predicted the program would soon be one commodity piled on top of another and soon it would no longer be the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, but rather a hodgepodge of competing interests.

“The basic thrust of this program was to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to kids,” Harkin said then.

Robert Guenther, senior vice president for public policy for the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C., told me recently that United Fresh wants to make sure that the pilot’s evaluation ordered by lawmakers accurately reflects the impressions and best interests of kids.

“Ultimately, this program benefits kids, and it has got to be about the kids,” he said. “It can’t be about industry. It is there to benefit the kids.”

The expectation of processors — frozen, canned, dried and perhaps beef jerky, nuts and soybeans, too — is that the door to the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program is cracked open, and they will try to gradually increase their share of the $150 million per year in federal funding.

If they have 3% of the dollars in 2015, they will want 12% by 2020. We don’t fault the processing industry from wanting a piece of the pie. Just don’t say it is for “the kids.”

Using Instagram to Curate the Events Before the Paris Terrorist Attacks

Screen Shot 2015-11-30 at 11.41.37 AM

Curation done by Hugo Passarello Luna. Used with permission.

The recent Paris Terrorist attacks were extremely tragic–and as a journalist, Hugo Passarello Luna has tried to make sense of the events that happened previously by piecing them together via Instagram.

“I have looked for the last images posted on Instagram of the places that were attacked before the tragedy took place.” says Hugo in an email to the Phoblographer. He’s essentially trying to “stop time” using the Instagram timeline and see what those places meant to people, before they became a place of mourning.

Hugo’s analysis explores different ways and angles to tell the story of the events that happened in the area before tragedy struck.

“One week after the Paris attacks of November 13th, I posted a photo on Instagram of Le Carillon, one of the places targeted by the terrorists.” says Hugo. “In the posted image I added the location and using that option I clicked to see what others photos had been posted of the same place. Unsurprisingly, there were already many images and mostly similar: flowers on the sidewalk, candles and people lighting candles, people mourning, some French flags, letters, portraits of the victims. You scroll down and the photos repeat themselves hundreds of times. Until they do not.”

Hugo’s project is after the jump.

The Essential Sense of Self Awareness as a Photographer

Chris Gampat The Phoblographer Fujifilm XT10 first impressions (14 of 15)ISO 4001-80 sec at f - 4.0

You, yes you, have a specialty as a photographer. Maybe you’re an incredible landscape photographer that can make someone’s jaws drop wide open. On the other hand, you could be a great portrait photographer who not only creates beautiful portraits but also makes people feel great about themselves afterwards. But no matter what you do, you have a specialization.

You, yes you, as a photographer can’t do everything. Maybe you’re good at shooting portraits, candids, weddings and other photojournalistic stuff, but you’ve got an inherent weakness unless you’ve been doing this for well over 35 years. Even then, you probably can’t do everything.

So when someone asks you to shoot their wedding but you’re really a specialist in landscapes, why would you say yes?

The Three Best Focal Lengths For Shooting Candid Photos

Pro Tip: Manual focus lenses make you require the way that your brain tells you to shoot. Instead of just putting a viewfinder to your eye, focusing, and shooting, sometimes you pre-focus, put the viewfinder to your eye and either shoot immediately or touch up just a bit. You can do this using the depth of field scale.

Instead of just putting a viewfinder to your eye, focusing, and shooting, sometimes you pre-focus, put the viewfinder to your eye and either shoot immediately or touch up just a bit. You can do this using the depth of field scale.

Modern autofocus is quite good–don’t get us wrong. But when push comes to shove and you need to capture a moment in a split-second, some focal lengths are easier to work with than others. Part of this has to do with depth of field at a specific distance and the other has to do with the specific focal length. For what it’s worth, a telephoto lens and a wide angle lens focused out to 7 feet away and shooting from the same distance will have a varying amount of the scene in focus. The telephoto will have less in focus while more of the scene will be in focus with the wider angle lens.

But at the same time, you may not want to be so close to the scene that you’re within arm’s length of the person or scene being photographed. So to do that, we’re recommending three focal lengths that are best for candid photos.

Why Bokeh is a Critical Element to Telling a Story Through Photos

Chris Gampat The Phoblographer Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 review product images (4 of 7)ISO 2001-400 sec at f - 1.7

It’s very easy to become obsessed with bokeh–look at the cinema and television industry. Watch famous movies of Tarantino, Nolan, or television shows like Arrow or American Horror Story and you’ll see that the world’s best cinematographers use lots and lots of bokeh. In the same way that cinematographers use bokeh to tell a story, photographers should use bokeh to tell a story and transmit a presence and feeling into the viewer that grabs them and forces them to pay attention.

We’re not at all saying that photographers need to be more cinematic–but instead we’re saying that many photographers need to start thinking about bokeh in a different way.

Review: Metz 64 AF-1 Flash (Sony Alpha E)

Chris Gampat The Phoblographer Metz flash product photos (1 of 10)ISO 6401-50 sec at f - 4.0

Editor’s Correction: In an earlier version of this article, we called the flash the 54 AF-1. It is indeed the 64 AF-1. We apologize for this mistake.

Metz believes that the future of the flash is very…touchy. To be specific, we’re talking about a touch screen. So when the 64 AF-1 was shown to us around Photokina 2014, we were quite intrigued. The flashes are available for Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and the Micro Four Thirds world. It tries to be futuristic with its massive touch LCD screen. Metz has been long known in the industry for having a more affordable alternative to the camera manufacturers, but in recent years they’ve stepped back to Phottix, Lumopro and Yongnuo.

The Metz 64 AF-1 otherwise is like many flashes on the market: it can rotate around and tilt its head. Unlike Sony’s flashes, the 64 AF-1 isn’t a cobra head design. But like many of Sony’s flashes, some of the settings can be controlled via the camera thanks to its interactions from the multi-interface shoe. This means that it will work with the NEX 6, A7, A7s, A7r, A7 Mk II, A99, A77, A77 Mk II and a couple of others.

The flash is also one of the first designed for the new Sony shoe since the company introduced it a couple of years ago. While it’s a good first attempt, it fails in certain aspects.

Kindly Refrain From Taking Photos With Your Tablet

Taking a photo with a tablet

The phone camera generation and technology shift created the rise of yet another device: the tablet. And as people took image after image with their phone, so too did those with their tablets. Before we knew it, tablets were with people everywhere they went. So the photos they shot during vacations, concerts, at restaurants, events, the kid’s first recital, and even more were shot on tablets.

For the love of everything that Steve Jobs created you’re blocking my line of vision of whatever we’re all here to see. And sometimes you don’t even want to just shoot a photo. You want to shoot the same photo over and over again. Further, you sometimes want to record a video–you know how long you’re holding your tablet up to record a video? That entire time, I probably can’t see what’s in front of me. Or even if we’re in a sea of darkness, your super bright tablet in total darkness is a complete distraction.

That and you just look absolutely ridiculous when doing it. A tablet is not ergonomically designed for you to hold it outstretched from your body to take a photo and if anything, you’re completely overcompensating with the screen size.

Please. Please. Just stop it.

Useful Photography Tip #94: Don’t Just Bounce a Flash Towards the Ceiling

Want more Useful Photography Tips? Check them out here.

If you’re starting out as a photographer shooting events or portraits, one of the biggest rookie mistakes made (along with using a Gary Fong Lightsphere incorrectly) is simply pointing a flash directly up towards the ceiling and expecting the best and most perfect results. The problem with this method is that you tend to create unflattering shadows (and there is a difference between flattering and unflattering shadows) on a person’s face and therefore make them look not their best. While many flashes give you a small bounce card, it usually isn’t enough to fill in those shadows either.

In the situation where you don’t have something like a large Rogue FlashBender, we recommend this: point the flash up towards the ceiling and behind you just a tad–then crank up the flash output around 2/3-1 stop brighter. Based on the way that light and flashes work, the ceiling is used to become a main light source as it is illuminated by the flash output. But if you put the light source right above someone’s face, you’ll create shadows underneath. However, if you move it around to above and slightly in front of them, the light will seem a tad more natural.

Useful Photography Tip #91: How to Work With Groups For Event Photography

Want more Useful Photography Tips? Check them out here.

Not all event photography can be done alone. Some times the scope of an event can span days as well as different locations. I recently had to do a week long job like this and I learned a lot. Group work requires planing , and the ability to adapt. It’s not just about camera gear it about people and interpersonal skills as well.

How did Omar Khadr become a folk hero for Canada's Left?

Guy: “Omar was arrested under Chretien’s Reign!” True, and notice the Socialist Media never went after the Liberals on this subject as they have done with the current Conservative Gov’t. Their bias is blatantly showing. Dosen’t exactly paint the Liberals in a good light either. Trudope certainly hasn’t changed the tone with his “admiration for communist dictatorships” proclamation. And Tom and the dippers are members of socialist/communist international. ’Nuff said.

Omar was arrested under Chretien’s Reign! Why Blame Harper unless you suffer from Harper Derangement Syndrome!
commented 2015-05-08 20:10:36 -0400
And how did Omar become a hero to Canada’s “progressives”? Answer: Socialist stupidity and a desire to do anything they can to thwart the current Conservative Gov’t in Ottawa. By all means possible with absolutely no thought to the end result. Like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Same twisted thinking. I was going to say “twisted logic”, but there is NO logic there.

A defamation suit against Edney is a great idea if it works. Little chance of success however with our Liberal appointed judiciary. Hiring some mercenaries and putting out a “hit” on Edney and his protege’ would ultimately be more effective, not to mention a permanent solution. Alternately, we could stuff them into a shipping container bound for Saudi Arabia. Somehow, I suspect that at least Mr. Edney would make it back to continue his troublemaking. Omar? He might just “disappear” into the Muslim Community overseas. That may be worth it.

If the PM wants to sue Edney for defamation of character, that’s one taxpayer bill I’d have no problem with.

Another shining example of Canada’s communist/ socialist / marxist / liberal PIGS aligning with islamic terrorists again.
Why? Because Canada’s communists/ socialists / marxists / liberals don’t like Freedom Of Speech and don’t like those who love their own religion, like say Christianity.
And scum islamic terrorists like khadr make for great pawns for Canada’s communist/ socialists / marxist / liberal PIGS.

Why so quiet baked troodo?

If you want to see a litany of prog heroes look at the black hats in the movies – Khadr? – no different than the progs who root for the villain at the movies – they are so desperate to appear “different” they will support the guy who attacks them – totally dyslexic.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Omar the killer went to the appeal court and lost but charges of premeditated murder charges were levied. Justiced denied is justice delayed 25 years before bail. But it’s not going to happen. The least we can hope for is he would not be granted a Canadian pass port

Peter Toth you hit the nail on the head. It is undoing the leftist commandeering of our legal system that is project number one.

It’s quite simple if you believe that the looney lefties suffer from a brain disorder. Insanity means doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome every time. They cannot get it that socialism does not work!; tt never has!! Just ask the people of Greece, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, England, etc how it’s working out for them after they ran out of other people’s money and now have to pay their own way.
Just wait and watch when the Chinese start buying up the Southern European agricultural lands and divert 1/3 of the production back to China. The food shortages should be enough to drive the point home.
But, being mentally deficient, the lefties won’t be able to connect the dots let alone see the dots.
commented 2015-05-08 15:45:18 -0400
Decades of Liberals in charge have created a Canada where this has been allowed to happen. It’s why the far left are so determined to fight against the Conservatives. They know that over time, that left wing influence in our courts will disappear. It’s why we need a Conservative majority for the next several terms. To reverse the socialist engineering that has slithered into our legal system.

Gay or straight, allow clergy to reflect the rest of us

By Mark Oakley
Originally Posted by The Guardian on June 4, 2011

As far we know, Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. He did, however, talk about hypocrisy and endlessly challenged those (usually priests and lawyers) who used the rule book more than their imagination. His arguments were often with those who failed to see the dignity of those who were different to the men in charge. If the bishops were to follow their lawyers' checklist in deciding on new colleagues, history will repeat itself as religious leaders make themselves both inhumane and hypocritical.

Why inhumane? Well, gay people have no choice as to their sexual orientation but, when recognised, they do as the rest do – try to find someone to love and grow old with. Although some are drawn to a celibate life, most feel that it is not good for them to be alone and they seek intimacy and a togetherness that, as married people know, is easier to make stable when celebrated and supported publicly and without fear. Priests and bishops are no different. To stop such people being ordained because a group doesn't like the fact that some people will always be homosexual would be as unjust as not having made John Sentamu the Archbishop of York because there was a theological argument going round for a white man. If talk of unity is to have any authenticity there has to be diversity and bishops should be signs and enablers of both. Instead, to make gay Christians even more afraid to be honest about who they are, and their need to love and be loved by someone, is not only inhumane but shameful.

Why hypocritical? Putting aside the fact that the present bishops were not questioned on their own sexual pasts, it would be an extraordinary policy to pursue this checklist when so many bishops know and privately support gay clergy in partnerships as well as those who are single who have been partnered at some stage. It would be equally duplicitous to imply that such gay bishops would be an innovation. Truthfulness would be the innovation.

Victim's name not released; condition unknown

A bridge worker who a sheriff’s lieutenant says is from the Rolla area was hospitalized Wednesday after the boat he was operating was struck by a barge on the Missouri River near St. Charles.
The 51-year-old man's name had not been released and his condition was unknown as of press time.
Lt. David Tiefenbrunn, of the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department, said sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the river around 9:30 a.m. for a report of a johnboat that had collided with a barge and towboat.
Tiefenbrunn said the man, who works for St. Louis Bridge Construction Co., was traveling across the river in the johnboat.
The company was performing work on piers of a train trestle that crosses the river next to the Lewis Bridge, which carries U.S. Highway 67, he said.
The lieutenant said the worker neither saw nor heard the towboat. He said the towboat operator repeatedly alerted the johnboat operator with its horn.
After the collision, the johnboat capsized and went under the barge with the man inside an enclosed area, Tiefenbrunn said.
Rescue workers in a boat were able to retrieve the man and bring him to shore to begin CPR until EMS personnel arrived.
According to Tiefenbrunn, the worker had a slight pulse before being transported to an area hospital.
The man was wearing a life jacket, the lieutenant said.
The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the crash.
