DBD 4.8.09 Where Do You Tailgate at Cal?

(Yes, I know those are Trojan girls above. Cal coeds are not easy to come by.)
Continuing onward with our Best of CGB discussion from a few weeks ago...
What's the best place to tailgate on Saturdays at Cal? Frat? Tightwad? One of our many fine parking garages? Or a special secret location that only you know of?
More importantly, if there were to be a theoretical CGB meetup for next August, where would you like the tailgate to take place?
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Twist doesn’t eat meat. Or drink. He usually just gulps down a bucket of inanity. No one even tries to figure out what’s in it.

He never did tailgate with us before games while we were in school, but that’s because he was doing all the pregame band stuff.
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...
which can be looked at as one long dry tailgate ritual....
which has changed only slightly in 110 years.
Go Bears Go
If your definition of tailgating requires alcoholic ingestion, I’d still be a tailgate virgin.

We have front deck-gating at my frat, which is a lot of fun. Its great to meet up with a bunch of other people and watch whatever other games are on before we all run up to Memorial.
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"

Seawright returns to practice. Tad Smith will be out only 3 ½ months and will be back in time for fall camp.
There were a couple significant developments today. First, kicker David Seawright practiced for the first time this spring. Seawright, who is recovering from a serious hip injury, had been kicking a little bit here and there before practices, but Tuesday was the first time in six months he attempted field goals with a long snapper and holder.
And Seawright looked good. Granted, he didn’t attempt any field goals beyond 25 yards, but he looked smooth and accurate as he consistently split the uprights from both hash marks.
Seawright said he is still kicking with pain. His injury has been difficult for doctors to diagnose and he said he’s been told there’s a chance he might always have to kick with pain for now on. But if Tuesday is any indication, he may be able to live with it.
"After today, I feel very encouraged," Seawright said. "My confidence hasn’t gone away. I’m still optimistic that someday I will kick without pain. It felt good. I was hitting the ball pretty well, getting some good pop on it."
Seawright still hasn’t attempted kickoffs and may not do so during the spring.Harper Kamp underwent surgery on his knee.
Cal basketball sophomore forward Harper Kamp will be sidelined four to six months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery last Wednesday on his right knee for the second time since last August.
The “lateral release” surgery, which corrects a kneecap tilt that causes cartilage damage, went well, according to information provided by the athletic department. The club’s sixth man, Kamp should be back in time for the start of training camp next fall.

also from the Kamp article
Chase Budinger gone, maybe Nic Wise too:
Arizona junior forward Chase Budinger is also headed to the NBA. Two star SEC junior guards — Kentucky’s Jodie Meeks and South Carolina’s Devan Downey — have declared for the draft without hiring an agent, leaving the option of returning to school.
Griffin led the nation with 30 double-doubles and 14.4 rebounds per game while averaging a Big 12-best 22.7 points.
Budinger said he is hiring an agent, which would end his eligibility. Arizona point guard Nic Wise said he will make himself available for the draft but won’t hire an agent.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
No joke,
my family tailgaited in the “oak grove” before I started attending Cal. I’ll probably miss it more than any of those idiots that shat in the oaks.

I've never tailgated at Cal
my friends are useless.
The only time I’ve ever tailgated was with the CGB crew at the Emerald Bowl.
I dunno what I’ll do next year when I come down from Seattle for the odd games here and there. I guess I’ll just walk into the stadium straight from the hotel or something :p

Band.
lots of the regulars were in band. and hence….no booze before the game, which is (at least my) definintion of tailgateing.
Go Bears Go
I agree 100% with the above comment. The greatest part about finishing your 4th year of band is being able to wake up late and get drunk off your ass before games!
I’d also like to comment on how lame Cal fans are, compared with most other schools. I realize that we don’t have miles of space like at the Rose Bowl or Coliseum, but c’mon, we’re Berkeley grads! I think we can be creative!
Tang Center parking lot. SHOTGUN A BEER!!!
Student: Hurried Top Dog on the way to the game.
Alum: Hurried Top Dog on the way to the game – or if Big Game or Bowl Game, some friends of mine have a two RV set-up in those parking lots ABOVE the stadium – what is that. . . Lawrence Hall of Science?
Which Top Dog? There’s hundreds of them.
by Avinash Kunnath on Apr 8, 2009 7:21 AM PDT up reply actions
we tailgate very close to the northside Top Dog
near Soda Hall or the Upper Hearst Lot usually….
There's no crying in baseball!
Lawrence Hall of Science parking lot
- parking is always available (except for USC/Big Game).
- view is awesome
- shuttle ride is free and adventurous
- easy entrance/exit from Fish Ranch Rd.
- I like the RNA helix (which I think they mistakingly call “DNA” even though it’s not a double stranded)
- get all kinds of weather (especially the Oregon game; see below)
- food is always delicious (BBQ ribs w/ special sauce, teriyaki shishkabobs, bacon wrapped prawns, cheese stuffed jalapenos, pork tenderloin)
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
That’s an awesome looking dog. Er, that is a dog, right?
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...
in my hand? we had cheese stuffed jalepenos and baby back ribs. I think that was just foil that was about to be thrown away. We got the BBQ lit in the monsoon with copious amounts of lighter fluid.
The one downside about tailgating in LHS parking lot: I’m not exactly sure it’s legal. The Oakland Hills fire wasn’t that long ago, and we all know how people up on The Hill feel about Cal athletics and the university in general.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!

I looked for stills of the movie, but this link will have to do http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Lab-Support/Hulk-filming.html
??? Why Berkeley Lab? The setting on the hills with dynamic views of San Francisco Bay had a lot to do with it. Its impressive scientific tools were also a draw. For example, the Gammasphere at the 88-inch Cyclotron was the model for a machine that plays a major role in creating The Hulk. The ALS? obvious visual virtues will serve as the backdrop for some important laboratory scenes. The fictional scientist Bruce Banner works there.

This was the main reason I saw that craptacular movie. That, and Jennifer Connelly.

I found people either loved it or hated it. I personally loved the movie, to the point I bought it. It is very Ang Lee, in that he doesn’t tell you how to feel, he more or less presents a series of scenarios and allows the viewer figure everything out (similar to what he did in Crouching Tiger)

SydGOD on Lott Watch:
BERKELEY – California senior cornerback Syd’Quan Thompson, who led the Golden Bears with four interceptions last season, has been named to the 2009 Lott Trophy Watch List.
The Watch List is made up of 42 of the nation’s top defensive players who have had the biggest IMPACT on their teams on and off the field. IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
Thompson earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors last fall when he finished with 70 total tackles and tied the Cal record with 18 passes defensed (4 interceptions and 14 passes broken up). He also averaged 12.3 yards on 28 punt returns, including a 73-yarder for a touchdown vs. Colorado State.
Named after Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, the Lott Trophy is awarded to college football’s Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year. Now in its sixth year, The Lott Trophy is the only college football award to equally recognize athletic performance and the personal character attributes of the player.
Sponsored by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, the award is given to a player who exhibits the same characteristics Lott embodied during his distinguished career: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

Mens tennis loses to Pepperdine:
The No. 37-ranked California men’s tennis team (9-8, 1-2 Pac-10) suffered a heart-breaking 4-3 loss to No. 17 Pepperdine (15-8, 1-0 WCC) on Senior Day today at the San Francisco Tennis Club. The Golden Bears honored seniors Geoff Chizever and Eoin Heavey in their final home matches before play began. Cal claimed the doubles point for the 12th time this season but fell as the Waves fought back in singles.
The Bears found themselves in a bind at the outset as No. 13-ranked duo, Chizever and sophomore Pedro Zerbini fell in an 8-1 loss at the top court to No. 10 Omar Altmann and Bassam Beidas. Down a match for the doubles point, Cal also trailed, 5-4, on courts two and three. After earning the break to knot things up at five-all on court two, Cal’s sophomore tandem of Jonathan Dahan and Bozhidar Katsarov fought to go up by two games at 7-5 over Hugh Clark and Mahmoud Kamel. The Waves took one more game before the Bears put things away with an 8-6 victory to tie things up for the doubles point.
At No. 3 doubles, freshmen Nick Andrews and Thai Tu were on the ropes as they trailed against the serve, 7-6. Forcing the hand of Stuart Keplar and Alex Llompart, the two rallied to break the Waves for a seven-all tie. Both sides held serve to bring the score to eight-all, forcing a tiebreaker. The Bears slow-called the opening of the breaker to stay with Pepperdine at three-all before blowing the doors off the match with a four-point run to claim the doubles point for Cal.

womens Water Polo Player wins player of the week:
BERKELEY – California women’s water polo junior utility Camille Hewko was awarded co-player of the week honors by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation on Tuesday. Hewko scored four goals to lead the No. 5 Golden Bears to an 11-9 victory over No. 8 Arizona State on April 4. The decoration is the first of Hewko’s career and the third time in the 2009 campaign that a Bear has been given the weekly accolade with redshirt freshman goalkeeper Stephanie Peckham winning twice.
Hewko helped the Bears get their first goal of the game when she earned a five-meter penalty shot for the Bears just 45 seconds into the game, and junior driver Meghan Corse converted. The second stanza began in similar fashion to the first – with Hewko captaining the first offensive. She gave the Bears the six-on-five and lobbed in a goal off a pass from Julie Oreglia. With 13 seconds standing between the teams and halftime, Hewko scored with a backhand shot to send the Bears into the break with a 6-4 advantage. Hewko followed up with another score with 1:41 to play in the third quarter. Hewko distanced the Bears with her fourth goal of the game, bringing the final tally to 11-9.

Womens Water Polo beats ASU:
BERKELEY – The No. 5 California women’s water polo earned its third conference victory with a 11-9 decision over No. 8 Arizona State on Saturday evening at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The Bears improve to 28-5 overall and 3-3 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation while the Sun Devils fall to 13-11 and 0-6 in the MPSF. Junior utility Camille Hewko led all scorers with four goals while freshman driver Emily Csikos notched a hat trick.
“The most important thing is to pick up the conference win and move on from it,” California head coach Richard Corso said. “We have some things that we need to work on and I thought we weren’t as strong on defense at certain times as I would like. But the most important thing is the win.”
The Bears opened the first quarter with a 2-0 scoring run in the first two minutes of play. Junior utility Camille Hewko earned a five-meter penalty shot for the Bears just 45 seconds into the game. Junior driver Meghan Corse took the shot and converted off a skip to the left corner. Redshirt junior utility Julie Oreglia scored Cal’s second goal with redshirt senior two-meter defender Paige Lorenz assisting. Down 2-0, Arizona State’s junior attacker Bonnie Miles scored back-to-back goals. The first came with 5:01 to play from seven meters while the other was with 2:29 remaining off the assist from sophomore Sam Schubert.

Mens Gymnastics going to the NCAAs!
BERKELEY – The No. 6 California men’s gymnastics team is officially headed to the NCAA Championships, the NCAA men’s gymnastics committee announced today. The championships will be held April 16-18 at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in Minneapolis, Minn.
The teams will compete on Thursday, April 16 in the team qualifying rounds with hopes of making it to the team finals, which will be held Friday, April 17. The individual championships will be Saturday, April 18.
Three teams and the top three all-around competitors not on one of the qualifying teams, plus the top three individuals on each event not already qualified on a team or as an all-around competitor, will advance from each pre-qualifying session to the finals session.
Last season, the Bears finished in third place in the team qualifiers 357.1 points behind qualifier-winner and top-ranked Stanford (363.850) and second-place No. 5 Illinois (359.300). Cal then finished fifth out of the entire country in the team finals. Four-year letterwinner Tim McNeill, the team’s current graduate intern, repeated as national champion on pommel horse and parallel bars in the individual round for his fourth and fifth national championships.

Speaking of tailgating
I know there are some Snyder/Gilby era alums on here. Does anyone remember getting to the stadium early in the North Parking lot – there was this older guy with long hair who was always there with his wife/girlfriend/partner and they had this tiny football they would toss around – both wearing jerseys – and everytime he would catch the tiny football (it was like a kid’s football) – he would yell in a Randy “Macho Man” Savage-esque voice “TOUCHDOWN BEARS!!!! YEAH!!!!!” ?
It’s been at least 13 years since I’ve seen that guy, but every single plane flight I take, when we land, I mutter under my breath “TOUCHDOWN BEARS!!! YEAH!!!!”
I think he used to sit right at the player entrance at the North Tunnel. I know I used to see him high fiving the players every game.

I attended ‘92-’96, but I don’t remember that guy. But I do remember one stanfurd fan who, whilst exiting the game after we beat the tree, saw the front of my shirt and asked in a drunken, and undereducated, slur: “why did you wear a ‘UCLA Sucks’ t-shirt to the Big Game?”. Whereupon I turned around and showed him the back of the shirt, which concludes in a manner we all know, and the furdian just cursed me. And every time I think of beating up on stanfurd during a Big Game, I remember that one gleeful year where I added insult to that furdian’s injury.
Oh, the memories!

The YEAH Guy
He used to hi-5 all the band members. We called him the “yeah” guy. He was a little weird, but had his heart in the right place.
"Yeah" guy
Hello all…1st time posting here, but have been lurking for a while. I meant to post the day all lurkers were called out, but got busy and totally forgot.
Anyway, I know exactly who you are talking about. There used to be a group of three total including the “Yeah” guy who sat right at the tunnel. There was also a woman in that group who always wore a jersey—she was short with black hair and glasses. Over the years, “yeah” guy had gotten to know the players and it seemed like they went out of their way to high five him. He used to rock game used gloves at all times, which he got from the players.
My funniest memory of the “Yeah” guy was at “Picture Day” (or as it used to be called, prior to the current “Fan Appreciation Day”). As a kid, I would sprint around trying to get all the players autographs. I remember at one point looking at the far end of the field and seeing a group of kids of all ages playing a pickup game (or maybe three flies up or something). Then I realized “yeah” guy was playing with them. Seemed bizarre at the time, and still does…but like someone else said: he was a little off, but his heart was in the right place. We used to speculate and laugh on whether he was like like in all aspects of his life—like grocery shopping…"corn flakes…YEAH! canned corn…YEAH!’
He loved Cal football. We’d go to the tunnel at the end of games to watch the players come in, and he’d be there high fiving everyone and cheering away.

This is a video promoting candidates for Student Action. All this ASUC stuff is bullshit, but it has a bunch of footballp layers in there. I really wanted to front page it, because I think its funny. But, unfortunately, some other Marshawnthusiasts and an un-named Jahvidtician (who shall remain nameless) felt that it would be a tacit endorsement of Student Action. I would, of course, have had a lot of text with the video like “FUCK YOU STUDENT ACTION! FUCK STUDENT ACTION! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE STILL DOING THOSE DONE POSTERS!”
But the Jahvidtician, who shall remain nameless, didn’t buy it. So, it is here.

Joe Starkey...Scholar, Humanitarian, Cal legend, worst radio play by play man of all time.
so ok....
my wife enjoys football in the classic wife way, i.e., cheers when we win, but otherwise is not interested. Not interested to the point of when we beat UOP 86 to 20, she wanted to leave (WTF!) at the end of the third quarter.
My eldest kids teacher (at their school you stay with the same teacher from 1 to 8th) loves football, and so does her wife. Her wife, however, hates the crowds at games and so can only tollerate about 1 a season. So we each have a built in date to travel to games with (I live up in Davis).
So, I guess not so long as just boring….

Ted Miller’s Surprise #4: Quizz?! Top three will be 1. Best 2. Mays 3. Syd
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
Kinda imposable, Syds number 6 or 8 i think, not likely to happen again.

Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...
I completely forgot that he already named Syd. Maybe 3 will be Gronkowski?

seems high for a tight end, doesn’t it? On the other hand, that dude needs to be on this list.

Miller’s argument is kind of stupid there.
Best will be above Quizz in Miller’s rankings (and the eyes of anyone not named Rishi) yet he didn’t get the award. Therefore Quizz is slightly overrated but still a great player (as his # 4 spot acknowledges).
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
Maybe he thinks that Best should have won the award, but the fact that Rodgers won the award means he’s still a great player.

… I will attend the massive CGB tailgate and I will go wherever it is held. I will donate several dollars to the cause, I will consume gawdawful “lite” beer and people will wonder “who the heck is that old guy (34) hanging out with all those punk kids who look like unemployed former band members?” And I will have fun. Except for having to ingest the lite “beer” (quotations corrected).

Did you know that in order for beer to be counted as “light” beer, it simply has to have 20% fewer calories than its original brew, irrespective of alcohol content?
So if I took a beer, say Rishi Ale, made it 80% beer and 20% club soda, I could market it as Rishi Ale Light.
Someone needs to study which beer has the best calorie:alcohol ratio.
JAI HO!
Rishi Ale Light lacks the delightful taste of Rishi Ale!

You will DEFIANTLY need a spotter, safety reasons.
"Best is Best" - Every single broadcaster this upcoming season, completely original and funny right???
This is a slightly more complex game, but very, very fun when mastered. This game requires a minimum of 5 people to play. High boot factor.
The first hand of asshole is the establishing hand. This will decide who is the President, V-Pres, Normal People, and the Asshole for the next round.
Approxiametly 6 or 7 cards are dealt to each player, depending on the number playing this can be higher or lower. The rank of the cards is as follows (most powerful to least powerful) 2, A, K, Q, … 4, and 3.
Some is chosen to go first and they play a card, the next person has two options:
to play a card higher than (but not the same) as the previous card.
or to pass on that turn.
For example, if a 4 is lead, a next player must play HIGHER than a 4, the the next player has to play higher than that. A new hand starts when all players pass, or when someone plays a 2 (the most powerful card). The last person to play a card, leads the next hand.
This proceeds until all players are rid of their cards. The first player out of cards is the Pres for the next round, the next out becomes the VP, the next players out are normal, and the last person out is the Asshole.
However lets say that the person leading has two 5’s, this person may play them both, then the next player must play two of the same card HIGHER than five; this player cannot play one card or three cards, only two. As well, three, or even four, of the same card may be lead. The only time a player may lay one card in a situation like this is if it is a two (the power card); a single two, beats everything, and the hand ends followed by a new lead.
The roles for each player are as follows:
President:
can make any player drink at any time, no-one may make the President drink but self. The Pres is the first player to start each round (benefits of power). And the Pres should never have to refill own beer.
Vice President:
can make any player drink at any time (except Pres), the only the Pres or self can make the VP drink. The VP goes second in each round.
Normal People:
These players can make each other drink as well as the Asshole. They play in the order they finished the previous round; first normal out follows the VP, second normal out follows first, etc.
Asshole:
for many reasons, this player is truly the Asshole. This player has to do all dealing of cards, all sweeping of cards after the hands, and can not make any other player drink. The asshole plays last in each round.
A few recommendations, at the end of each round, the players should move seats in order to reflect the hierachy, and proper playing order. Play your lowest cards first. Abuse the power when Pres or VP, but remember it will always come back to haunt you, especially when abusing the Asshole.
Play as many rounds as desired.

Kapp as new FB?
Tedford has said fullback is the most wide-open position on the team following the departure of Will Ta’ufo’ou, but he’s been impressed with Will Kapp so far during the spring.
“He’s really done a nice job over the first couple of weeks,” Tedford said. “He has a really good feel for the position.”
Kapp, the son of legendary Cal quarterback Joe Kapp, has emerged along with Brian Holley and John Tyndall as leading candidates for the job so far. Holley has been taking first-team reps recently.
“Evaluation is definitely still in progress, but they are getting better every day,” Tedford said.</blockquote>

Thanks BearsNecessity / Another Dalai Lama link
A few weeks ago BearsNecessity (= Avinash? I think so but can’t remember why I think so) posted a link to the Dalai Lama’s April 25 lecture at the Greek Theater.
My mom got super excited and begged me to get tickets for her. I tried for a couple hours as soon as they went on sale, but couldn’t get through to a ticket agent on the phone and couldn’t place an order online. She was totally bummed, so I posted an ad on Craigslist offering money and a home-cooked Bengali dinner to anyone with tickets.
This actually worked — sort of. Turns out that His Holiness has a second lecture on April 25, at the Berkeley Community Theater, from 3:45-4:30. Yay!
NOTE:
- This lecture may be in Tibetan.
- There is supposed to be an English translation available. The organizers couldn’t say what that meant … we all get headphones like the UN? (yeah right) Scrolling subtitles via Powerpoint? Nobody knows.
- $25 if you’re a certified Tibetan, $30 for non-Tibetans.
- I called yesterday and got 2 tickets; I think there’s a waiting list for them now. Call the Gyuto Vajrayana Center at (408) 926-9430.

For late afternoon/night games (which we sorely need much more of), I typically throw a small tailgate together in my backyard, complete with beer pong table, bbq, TV indoors, and plenty of beer.
Unfortunately, we only had 2 such games last year. For day games, a smaller group of buddies and I drink beer at the Nymph, rain or shine.
Another question
What do people do AFTER the game?
I typically hit up a friendly frat for some burgers and beer games, and head over to Henry’s afterwards.
Depends what time the game is at.
3:30 end time – Looney’s afterwards – get some food, some beer, and watch the rest of the college football games going on around the country.
6 PM end time – Mayflower to get food, buddy’s apartment to watch another game, get dressed, head out for the night.
9 PM end time – Quick food anywhere, then get ready and drink more.

IMPORTANT FANTASY BASEBALL QUESTION
So I’m going to be in New Orleans tomorrow, doing my presentation on the treesitters. I originally was going to be presenting during the day, and be done by draft time, but they just moved my presentation to accomodate for another presenter. As such, I’m presenting between 8:30-10 (CDT). That means that I’ll be presenting during the draft. I can try to bring a laptop to the panel and be a dick to the other presenters, I can autodraft to start, or we could possibly change the time to an hour later.
Does anyone have a problem with an hour later? If there are any problems, I’ll just suck it up. Except for Yellowfever, you should just get drunk and stay up all night

Nick Rowland Enjoys Cal More Than Furd (DUH)
Nick Rowland (Peoria, Ariz./ Centennial) is one of the elite linemen in the West region. He has several Pac 10 offers, including Washington, Cal, Arizona, Arizona State, Stanford and Oregon.
Rowland attended junior days and Stanford and Cal earlier in the year and enjoyed both campuses.
“I liked Cal better and was more comfortable there but I had a good time at both schools,” Rowland said. “With Cal, I just like the program, the city, the coaches and I just fit in well there. I like the upgrades their planning to do to their facilities and I had a great time at the basketball game when they played UCLA and ESPN Gameday was there.”
“With Stanford, the thing that stood out the most was coach [John] Harbaugh. He’s a great guy with a lot of energy and of course the academics at Stanford are second to none.”
Rowland is looking to possibly visit Oregon, where his dad lives and could be closing in on a few more scholarship offers.

A friend of mine just told me hes going to tonight Giants game with a sign that says “HEBREW HAMMER ONLY HITS MATZOH BALLS ON PASSOVER” with a photo of Ryan Braun.
I think he should take a sign that says “Why is this night different from all other nights? BECAUSE THE GIANTS MIGHT WIN!”
I like my sign better.
I am the Tyrant Boy King Of UC Eugene! An endless cavalcade of worthless inanities is my currency!
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Ryan Braun is apparently Jewish and is called Hebrew Hammer. So, the first sign is saying that he won’t be hitting baseball, but, in fact, matzoh balls (which would be, ostensibly, matzoh in ball form?). As for the second sign.
As for the second, I’ll let Judaism 101 with its “Seder: Intermediate Level” explain that:
The best-known quote from the Pesach Haggadah is, “why is this night different from all other nights?” This line is usually recited by the youngest person at the table (or at least, the youngest person capable of reciting it). It is meant to express the child’s confusion at the difference between a typical every-day or holiday meal and the unusual features of the seder.
