Designer Turkey?

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for your many blessings and spending time with friends and family and enjoying each others company. But of late, it's also been about good food and, of course, shopping.

Nothing has screamed thanksgiving as much as the turkey, and American food marketers have found a way to take a random $16 bird and turn it into a $200 delicacy.

In New York City, "designer turkeys" are flying off store shelves - even at prices as high as $14 a pound.

That's a $168 dent in your Thanksgiving budget if you're hunting a tasty 12-pounder.

A pair of Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch Heritage free-range turkeys, went for $200 last week, priced at $11 a pound. Good Shepherd turkeys have been dubbed the "Mercedes-Benz" of birds.

Still the Good Shepherd turkeys priced $3 less than the D'Artagnan wild turkey, selling for $14 a pound, that looked like a runway model version of the holiday staple - pale, thin, and overpriced. D'Artagnan's website boasts that their turkeys are "farm-raised from the original wild breed."

Still, there are plenty of options for cost-conscious turkey lovers. Chains like Pathmark and Key Food were hawking their plump poultry yesterday for as low as 39 cents a pound.

Shoppers at Pathmark on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn said they couldn't care less if their dead bird had a happy life - it just needs to taste good.

New Weekend Sweater from the GAP

The GAP's new winter-ready "Hooded Sweater" is rugged in a durable knit and old-school toggle closures. We love it with classic corduroys.

The sweater maintains a rugged look with the heavy duty knit, you'll artfully toe the line between fashion-forward and functional. Besides that, at $80 (US), this sweater is easy on the pockets.

Your ultimate workout partner

Everyone knows when you do anything with a friend, it makes the time that you do a particular task much more enjoyable. Working out is no different. Many bodybuilders have reached their potential by having partners there to motivate them. But sometimes having partners while you are working out can hinder your workout goals. I

Pros: There are many pros to working with a partner when it comes to lifting weight. The first benefit is the motivation factor. A partner is a great motivational tool. People that usually workout with partners tend to go beyond the limits that they set for themselves. The partner usually pushes them to go further. Another pro of working out with a partner is that you will always have a spotter. It is hard trying to find people to give you a spot when you are working out on your heavy days. With a training partner, you will not have this problem. Your partner usually knows what you can and what you can not lift, so he knows when to come in at the right time. Another plus about having a partner is that they can tell you when you are doing something wrong. A partner can guide you in the right direction when your form is particularly straight.

Cons: Even though working with a partner can be great, it also has its down sides. One negative to working out with a partner is what I call the social factor. Many people have their friend or a group of friends workout with them, with the expectation of the partners being there to motivate them. These usually turn into social gatherings, where everything is done but working out. They talk about sports, girls, and anything else that has nothing to do with training.

Here is the rule of thumb when working out with a partner. You are there to train, not to find out what is the latest on your favorite sports team. Work out first and then talk to your friends. Another con to working with a partner is that sometimes the partners do not show up on time. If you want a consistent workout, you need to have a partner that will arrive at the scheduled time that you all have agreed upon. This make the workouts go smoother.
