From Orchard to Clementi, Tiong Bahru and Hougang, we've got one epic guide to cafes by neighbourhood. Brunch your way around the island, people!
Yes we love our inner city brunch spots and hip neighbourhoods for a bit of cafe hopping, but with the rise of great cafés setting up at residential estates (whoop whoop!), taking a five-minute stroll from home to a good serving of English breakfast or eggs Benedict is now very much possible. Go say hello to your barista neighbours, or, better yet, venture to a new neighbourhood with this nifty guide…
Oriole Coffee + Bar
Cold brew lovers, Oriole Coffee is definitely for you! Their signature in-house cold brew coffees are more than delicious, and you can have them either in black, with milk or with cold pressed nut milk made of macadamia, almonds and dates (aptly called the M.A.D. milk). Do also check out their all-day breakfast dishes and a wide selection of mains including the juicy Oriole Truffle Burger, St. Louis Pork Ribs, and sweet treats such as the decadent Chocolate Fudge Cake topped with Cold Stone Creamery's French Vanilla ice cream.

Wild Honey
Nothing like a plate of hearty brunch to kickstart the weekend and Wild Honey is definitely one of our top picks! Our favourites include the Spanish, a dish of diced chorizo, Corned beef and potatoes with poached eggs on signature brioche, and the Brittany, a marvellous creation of Panettone French Toast with baby bananas, salted caramel mascarpone, toffee'd hazelnuts and salted caramel sauce. There are two locations to choose from (Scotts Square and Mandarin Gallery), but we recommend heading there early because there's always a queue for it.

PS.Cafe Palais Renaissance is your choice for brunch, with its iconic high ceilings, classic decor, an outdoor eating area, and plenty of natural light for your perfect Instagram shot. Of course, the food doesn't disappoint too, which probably explains the usual long wait to enter.

The Coffee Academics
This specialty coffee chain from Hong Kong sure knows its stuff, and it's no wonder we keep going back for more.

These guys were one of the first to set up shop in the area.

Plain Vanilla, multiple locations including Tiong Bahru and Telok Ayer.
Tiong Bahru Bakery
This iconic bakery at Tiong Bahru is one of our top spots for French pastries! Hot sellers such as their butter croissants and chocolate croissants look almost too good to eat – the layers are distinctly fanned out and provide a great crisp to the pastry.

The Muffinry, 112 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068581
Free the Robot
This robot-themed café is a Honeycombers hangout – we drop in the mornings for coconut-infused coffee, and lunch for its affordable, hearty sandwiches and toasties.

'…take time to Pause….'
at St George's Bristol
Here at St George's, we have been teaming up with local musician and Alexander Technique teacher Gudi Schepokat for a number of years now, giving our staff team and visiting artists the opportunity to experience Alexander lessons during the annual International Alexander Technique Awareness Week. This forms part of our greater vision to enhance the wellbeing of those who visit or work here, a vision we hope very much to develop further throughout the coming years.
Give yourself a moment.. ….. becoming curious about how you stand and how you sit… . . come and experience a new sense of uprightness and ease…
The Alexander Technique is a powerful, practical and sophisticated method of self-help. Established well over a century ago by the actor F.M Alexander it meets our needs in the 21st century. Inviting us to increase our self-awareness of unnecessary tension and strains, to improve our balance, our movement, free our body and mind, to come into harmony.
"Gudi helps you to find true balance and when she does something beautiful falls into place. So freeing is this feeling, the stillness and solidity gives you a real sense of your place in the world at that moment. Many thanks."
Louise Orchard

It's enough to make Ben Nighthorse Campbell switch sides …again
Senator Wayne Allard (R-You know, CO) got to go on Meet the Press this weekend and show everybody what a big brain he has. It wasn't pretty:
MR. RUSSERT: Let me show you the first 21 months of the Bush administration, in terms of economic factors, and I'll put them on the screen. On Inauguration Day, the Dow Jones was at 10,587; it's down 32.5 percent. The unemployment rate, as you see, is up 36 percent. The budget has gone from a $281 billion surplus to $157 billion deficit. Jobs, a loss of two million. Senator Allard, are you comfortable running on that kind of record?
SEN. ALLARD: No, I'm not comfortable with any time we have a deficit. I'm one who believes that we needed to pay down the debt when we were in a surplus, and also believe that we needed to eliminate the deficit. We're back, like you said in your figures, into deficit spending again. I think the things that we can do to help the economy is that, number one, we need to do something to bring about corporate responsibility so people feel good about the figures that they're seeing on our companies. We need to make permanent those temporary tax cuts that we passed a year and a half ago.
MR. RUSSERT: That would increase the deficit.
SEN. ALLARD: Well, we argued about that in the past, but you know, I happen to think that when have you the economy doing better, that means more revenue to the federal government, and I don't think that it necessarily increases the deficit. The other thing that I think that we need to have, we need to have a plan to pay down the deficit. I looked at those figures, and if we don't institute any more new programs, we stay just at current levels, we'll be actually out of the deficit in about six years. I just think that we need to have some kind of a deficit reduction plan within the next 10 years.
MR. RUSSERT: But what would be cut? If, in fact, you freeze all programs, people will say you're cutting farm programs…
SEN. ALLARD: Yes.
MR. RUSSERT: …you're cutting environmental programs, and you don't have a prescription drug program.
SEN. ALLARD: You know…
MR. RUSSERT: You can't have it all, have tax cuts, a war in Iraq and still balance the budget.
SEN. ALLARD: Well, you know, only in Washington is the argument made that, you know, if have a less of an increase than what somebody asked for, it's called a cut. I think we can let the economy go— I'm willing to give a little flexibility for the growth in our budget. But look, you know, I think that we can, as members of the Senate, put in a budget that will balance it within 10 years. I don't think that's unreasonable. And we can do it to hold spending down within reasonable levels.
MR. RUSSERT: If you postpone the Bush tax cut, would that be a tax increase?
SEN. ALLARD: Yeah, I think it would be a tax increase, if you postponed the tax cut, yeah.
MR. RUSSERT: Then if you froze spending, why wouldn't it be a cut?
At this point Senator Allard starting yelling "Iraq! Iraq!" and making bomb noises.
Should Brainiac Wayne not win re-election this November, I believe that he could a have shot as a professional athlete, y'know?

These days, everyone needs a website, even if it's only a basic page giving contact information. That raises the question, where to host the site?
Most ISPs provide some form of webspace allocation, and it is tempting to use this, especially as it is essentially free. We would advise against this though. There are two problems. One, that the webspace may have issues which prevent the software you want to use from functioning properly. Two, you may find yourself in a lock-in situation where your ISP service is not reliable but changing ISP is going to involve replacing the website as well. Rather like a house tied to a job, this is a situation best avoided.
That said, the ISP webspace may be quite OK if you just want to host a few static pages stating who you are and what you do. The thing we'd avoid is setting up any kind of advanced portal on ISP-provided space. Basically, if moving the site elsewhere will involve more than an hour or two of work, then get dedicated hosting for it.
Dedicated hosting need not be overly expensive. IWR Consultancy has struck a reseller deal with leading USA-based website-hosting company Siteground, and can provide hosting accounts for very competitive prices.
This webspace is Linux-based, and thus supports the majority of popular content management systems. Furthermore, if you'd like to use a popular package like Wordpress or Joomla but are not sure how to go about installing it, there is an automated installer. If you're still unsure, the Siteground team are there to help, and the standard of support is excellent. They'll even help with transferring your existing website from another host.
By the way, if you're thinking '..but I use Windows desktops so will a Linux host cause compatibility problems?' the answer to that is a definite No. Far more websites are hosted on Linux servers than Windows servers, and from a visitor's point of view you wouldn't know which system the site was on, anyway. This site is on Linux hosting, and chances are you're reading it on a Windows or Mac computer.
While on this subject, the mainstream Web products such as Wordpress use the PHP programming language, and this is available as standard on Linux. Although PHP can be provided on Windows servers it is not native to that platform, thus there are more likely to be difficulties with taking the Windows route for a standard website.
The time when you might prefer a Windows hosting account is if you intend to deploy what's known as an ASP website. These are very much a specialist niche, though.
Space and Bandwidth allocations with this package are extremely generous, as are the provisions for installing advanced tools and features, in fact it's unlikely you would ever outgrow its capabilities- at least not until your firm reaches corporation-scale, anyway!
An important feature -and one lacking in a surprising number of hosting accounts- is that the client has full control over the account's settings via an online control-panel.
The email component of the package is flexible and full-featured, an important aspect where there is the need to provide multi-user email to a full site, rather than a simplistic single-user system.
If you're finding that your existing webspace is cramping your designer's style, is slow, or not reliable, then please ask about pricing.
Along with hosting, everyone needs a domain name. A domain can be registered at Siteground, and their prices are very reasonable. You can alternatively register a domain or two at a dedicated registrar. It actually makes no odds to the website where you register the domain, but beware of the gotcha that once a new domain has been registered it may not be possible to transfer it out for several months. Thus, please don't go register a domain with a registrar found randomly on Google! We've seen this done, and it sometimes leads to grief. Choose a reputable one. We typically use Domainmonster for registering UK-specific domains, Siteground for global. That's not to say they are the only options but we've always found them reliable.
A side benefit of Sitewground's American-based hosting is the facility to register .com and .net domains at much lower cost than a typical UK registrar would charge. Many firms prefer a .com name as looking 'more professional' than a .co.uk one, yet are deterred by the (unrealistically) high registration-charges for .com domains in the UK. The answer is simple; register in the USA and you are charged a much more competitive rate.
For a more detailed guide on choosing hosting and domain registrars, you might like to take a look at Nick Colakovik of FirstSiteGuide's writeup on the subject.

The National Law and Nationwide Rules outline the authorized obligations of approved providers, nominated supervisors, and educators and explain the powers and functions of the state and territory regulatory authorities and ACECQA. As proof of this assertion, consider this query: Have the folks ever been identified to rise against the Court of Appeals, or mob a Justice of the Peace, so as to get larger wages, free credit, tools of manufacturing, favorable tariffs, or authorities-created jobs? If a man endeavours to acquire a repeal of those laws, that are conceived to be obnoxious, or the introduction of any laws which he believes to be salutary, if he does that legally, there isn't a objection to it.
There are terms used within the Tax statutes that are used by the IRS akin to particular person, income, citizen, that has not been clearly outlined in the Laws. In case you are an sincere, law-abiding gun owner in California you higher be darn sure you realize the principles for transporting a gun in your automobile. As it's believed that government makes the enactment and guidelines in addition they see to making sure that people reside inside the dictates of the law.
Each time we give attention to something we are 'calling' it in the direction of us. With our ideas and beliefs we invite individuals, situations, experiences and material issues into our life. By means of threats, including felony prosecution, financial penalties, and imprisonment, the Authorities efficiently compels its citizens to voluntarily waive any Fifth Modification Rights that are relevant to the Federal Income Tax.
That includes major information, the WJP Rule of Law Index measures international locations' rule of law performance across eight elements: Constraints on Government Powers, Absence of Corruption, Open Government, Fundamental Rights, Order and Safety, Regulatory Enforcement, Civil Justice, and Legal Justice. We will in our lifetime see Marshall Law imposed because the masses get sensible to all the pieces unlawful that's being perpetrated by our government.
The Federal government of the U.s.a. cannot legally implement an Income tax inside any of the fifty States simply because they've No Legislative Jurisdiction!. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered courses strive someway to enter — by peaceful or revolutionary means — into the making of laws.

Interpol (l-r): Sam Fogarino, drums, Paul Banks, guitar and vocals, Carlos D, bass and Daniel Kessler, guitar.
When I got bored of banging my head and pumping my fists as a teenager, I turned to the opposite extreme, which for me at the time was listening to classical music. I was looking for a sound that would take me away from my surroundings and transport me to places that the four or five-person rock band ensemble simply wasn't equipped to do. Because of this, and somewhat regrettably, I missed the boat on a lot of excellent 90s rock like shoegaze, Britpop, and even some grunge that I've come to adore over the years. I had immersed myself so much in the structure and history of western classical music that I was painfully ignorant about modern rock's state of affairs.
Once I moved back to the city and enrolled at NYU, I met Daniel Kessler and ultimately joined Interpol. At this point, I was ready to start socializing like a normal human being again and catch up on all the rock and pop I'd ignored for the past five years. My DJ "career" for instance was one expression of this newfound interest in the genre.
But life is a perennially spinning roulette wheel of change. After the Antics run, I felt that it was time to hang up my headphones. I regrouped and gave myself plenty of "alone time". During this time I found myself naturally falling back in love with the sound of the symphony orchestra. As with everything, I've immersed myself totally in this genre of music to the exclusion of all others.
I've been catching up with my old favorites and discovering new and beautiful film scores. At the moment I'm listening to Sibelius' Fourth Symphony; Cesar Franck's Symphony in D Minor and Krzysztof Penderecki's Symphony No. 2. Then film soundtracks like Alexandre Desplat's soundtrack for The Painted Veil, David Julyan's music for The Prestige and Philip Glass' for Notes on a Scandal. My iPod hotel parties are quite a different phenomenon now, I can assure you.
These days, listening to music means hearing the gorgeous and inexhaustible power of strings, winds, brass, and percussion. If I want to hear the sound of guitar and drums, these days I simply play a show with my band.

when it is used as a rationale for peace." ~ Norman Solomon, from the film at the link below.
This is excellent on propaganda in America. From LBJ to GWB, it details how "officials in Washington" and the media have sold wars to the public via distortions, omissions, and/or outright lies.
To my Conservative friends, yes, it leans Left (and is narrated by Sean Penn); but I'm not part of the Left, and I found great value in it. If nothing else, the Nixon tape on the nuclear option is worth the watch...and why Phil Donahue's show was cancelled...and several other interesting bits.
To those who really don't have time for these hour-plus documentaries, please try and watch at least the first 19 minutes. I don't think that you'll regret it. Can't do 19 minutes? OK...do 15 minutes, or 10.

MapReduce is a programming model for large data processing popularized by, and in daily use at Google. The MapReduce model builds strongly on key tenets of functional programming such as higher-order functions and side-effect free execution. In this talk, we summarize this programming model and describe a didactic implementation in Erlang. Invented at Ericsson's research labs, Erlang is known for its massively concurrent programming model, and itself builds on a functional core language. We assume some minimal knowledge of Erlang, but will highlight key features of the language as needed to understand the MapReduce abstraction.

Outstanding review for an outstanding box set from Bauhaus – their four studio LPs (two remastered specially) plus a CD of non-LP tracks.
It is a real shame that there is no more unreleased material (or at least very little), but the remasters alone seem to be worth the entry price.
BAUHAUS "5 ALBUMS, Beggars Banquet
When "In The Flat Field" hawked up 'Double Dare' as its raw but cultured opener you knew it was all going to be okay and that you were listening to something special, with all the power of a Lancaster bomber coming in, fully loaded, to crash-land. Sentinel-like bass and drums, flinty guitar and deliciously demented vocals. Sluggish, thuggish and unlike anything anyone else was doing. Well, that's here, as is the whole album, and everything else they did that truly radiated long before the deeply regrettable "Go Away Shite."
The usual quality from Beggars exists in the swish simplicity of the box format, apparently called 'clamboxes' due to any lack of similarity to a clam, with gloss slipcases containing original front covers for each album inside, a pic of each band member on four of the discs, a logo on the fifth, containing the latest re-mastered versions and so we have it all sounding as glorious as possible, and glories there be in abundance.
DISC ONE: In The Flat Field
One of the finest debuts ever, in my crapulous opinion, this starts with the power of 'Double Dare', moves into the drama of the huffing, puffing 'In The Flat Field' and then spread like gasoline across the polite post-punk scene suddenly igniting during 'A God In An Alcove', showing their elegance, cheek and hidden ominous twists.
'Dive' had brevity and itchy antics, 'The Spy In The Cab' retreated into a small homely cupboard and quivered heroically while the loopiest track, 'Small Talk Stinks', was a capricious snatch of harmonious mayhem. 'St Vitus Dance' was a seedy brackish mass, 'Stigmata Martyr' a stellar noir knuckleduster and 'Nerves' a form of protracted, spindly bliss.
It seems odd hearing an album on CD which is short! And so brilliant.
DISC TWO: Mask
I loved "Mask", which I know struck some people as comparatively undemanding, but it's stuffed full of greatness, from the measured dyspeptic romp of 'Hair Of The Dog', the feral flamboyance of 'The Passion Of Lovers' to the chintzy, chiming rickety nonchalant weirdness of 'Of Lillies And Remains.'
'Dancing' was a saucy, dipping throb, just as the quietly majestic 'Hollow Hills' went in a totally different direction, literally subterranean. 'Kick In The Eye 2' flexed damaged sinews, 'In Fear Of Fear' was a skimpy shadow, 'Muscle In Plastic' droll fun, 'The Man With The X-Ray Eyes' engaging threshing and 'Mask' itself a portly spot of angst.
This was no difficult second album but a sturdy collection of songs highlighting how their shapes were becoming smoother, but the intensity remained in place.
DISC THREE: The Sky´s Gone Out
Starting with the fizzy spree of 'Third Uncle' this was an album of ambition, taking things to the next level. 'Silent Hedges' felt like a desolate, sweet follow up to 'Hollow Hills' and ached in lost fiery splendour. 'In The Night' harks back to their earlier stark threat, with 'Swing The Heartache' a seething, succulent morass.
'Spirit' was always such a gracious thing, and you won't be surprised to learn this hasn't changed. Then we get the three sections of the genteel, thoughtfully insane 'The Three Shadows' complete with those gentlemen and their fish, a line which continues to amuse. This section actually stands strangely ahead of its time, as it had more of an elliptical storytelling feel which would start to come in strong during late 90's Goth. 'All We Ever Wanted Was Everything' brings nostalgic semi-nonsense and sentimental sorrows, before the fragrant jumble of 'Exquisite Corpse' trots off grandly.
It's a curious album, which sounds refreshingly modern. I don't think they did take things anywhere important, but it was important they did things differently, which also continues on the next record.
DISC FOUR: Burning From The Inside
It's a strong start with the gorgeous sprawl of 'She´s In Parties', the blustery, capering 'Antonin Artaud' and miniscule, pointless 'Wasp.' 'King Volcano' finds them quaintly entertaining Queen Elizabeth I in a parallel dimension, Gawd bless the lead-smothered old harpie. 'Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?' does that beatnik gloom with great artistry, piano winding through the poetic vocal woes.
'Slice Of Life' is truly beautiful, muted and seeping along, acquiring vigour as it goes. 'Honeymoon Croon' jabbers madly, with flossy confidence.
'Kingdom´s Coming' is strange, loping acoustic, with 'Burning From The Inside' almost a bulbous distraction as there's a great lump chorus obscured by an almost abstract derailed train of derailed thought that flickers and heaves. 'Hope' then does the breezy sign off thing, as though Lou Reed was found beneath the mixing desk and their cheery vocals are weird!
DISC FIVE: Singles
Housing most, if not all, non-album single a and b-side tracks this naturally promises to be a mixed bag, with a hole in it, and what a chaotic riot it is.
'Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores' is a subtle giant of demented grot, 'Poison Pen' a cantankerous cousin if Antsish glee, 'Telegram Sam' lustfully teasing, 'Ziggy Stardust' faithfully elaborate in its elegance.
'Dark Entries' is just special, spectacularly filthy sonic sorcery.
'Scopes' is skittish idiocy, 'The Sainty Assassin' steamily gnashing, 'Spirit' (7″ version) the stew of laid back lotharios, 'Lagartija Nick' is nicely sub-St Vitus danciness, 'Earwax' whiskery post-dub.
'Watch That Grandad Go' is fucking hilarious, frisky cobblers. 'Third Uncle' (single edit) flies around nimbly, 'Terror Couple Kill Colonel' offers delicate detonations, 'In Fear Of Dub' billows wheezily, 'Kick In The Eye' (single remix) cavorts drably, as 'She´s In Parties' (single edit) swirls with a commendable swell. 'Crowds' is pinched, deeply pained and for all the anger oddly moving, 'Paranoia, Paranoia' fills up some space I guess, 'Spirit In The Sky' is disturbing in a nice way and then we get one last track. Ooh, I wonder what that might be.
'Bela Lugosi´s Dead' is apparently a Tomb Raider mix. I have no idea what that means but it's good that it's here because no singles collection could be complete without this towering entity. The dreamlike drums, the bulging bass, insidious swarming guitar and spectacular spectral vocals. Perfect.
They were on the best bands this country ever saw, and this collection is a testament to their odd ideas, their distinct character, their bitter softness, their luxurious attack. PLEASE SHARE this review around so people know this awesome collection exists because you can currently pick this up for just £15.29 (post free) on Amazon, a sure sign the world has gone mad.

Democrats Grow A Pair!
I don't often talk politics in this space, but the announcement that hit the wire yesterday was too big for me to ignore. As sources told Politico, a drafting session by members of the party responsible for drafting the official party platform have included language in support of Equal Marriage Rights. Openly gay, married, retiring Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts reportedly said the vote was unanimous. This is a tremendously big deal for me, and not only because I identify as a member of the LGBTQ community, but also because I grew up in the Southeastern United States and have seen the lingering effects of willful discrimination all my life.
My Responsibility
SINful friends, I had a different post entirely lined up for you today, in which I was going to issue my views on a subject that's been running amok in the news and among bloggers everywhere the past few weeks. I had the first few paragraphs written, I had links lined up, and I was starting to get on a roll in my diatribe. It was becoming incendiary. My page views would have lit up, I'm sure, and many who would never find me otherwise would have stumbled here, likely to leave and never return. Halfway through the writing I realized that I couldn't post it. It was too negative, too inciting, too destructive. It dawned on me in that moment that I cannot push such negativity forward. No, friends, I have a different responsibility here. In fact, I have several.
Flog Me and Fuck Me
"So you want to ravage each other tonight?" Mrs. AP asked, a deep shiny gleam in her eye as she pounced me.
"Ohhh, that sounds delightful, " I responded.
"What do you want to do?" She asked, sitting back a little, beaming down at me.
"I want you to flog me and fuck me." I stated my intentions boldly, not giving myself time to think about how big a step this would be, or how much I would have to let go. I was letting my body and my needs lead me, and I needed to be Hers in ways people outside of BDMS just don't understand.
She sat up a little more, looking at me quizzically for a moment, before leaning forward and asking "How do you want this to happen? What do you want me to use? This is our negotiation time; I want to make sure I won't take things too far and hurt you."
I looked into her eyes and held my voice steady as I said "Use your fingers, use toys, than take the strap-on and fuck me. I trust you. You won't hurt me."
"Good, " She said. "Then go to the bathroom and when you come out I'll have some tasks for you."
Cleaning Up
I wish I had another one of my deep, meaningful, inspiring posts for you today friends. Instead I'm sitting here in my work vehicle, no A/C, at 5:30 in the morning. The temperature is 80F/26.7C with 81% humidity. The Heat Index moves that up to 87F/30.6C. It's sticky. I'm sweaty. I go home in just over half an hour, where I will enjoy a lukewarm shower with Mrs. AP and try to find something to eat. The thought of the shower got me wondering, though, if my clean up routine is different from that of the many wonderful friends I've made here, so here goes:
When We Met
The time had finally come. Her car was pulling into the lot, and I was finally going to get to meet her in person. I sat on my stool, eyes scanning the entrances to the lot until I finally saw her car pull in. Tracking it to it's spot, I waited eagerly, nervously, knowing she would be everything in person that she was online and hoping I could live up to my own presentation. I had been myself, right? Surely I hadn't exaggerated or overestimated. I adjusted my shirt again, checking my buttons, my collar, my belt, my pants, making sure everything was tidy and in place. Then her door opened, and I saw her step out…
It began, of all places, on OKCupid. My profile was honest; I was married, I wasn't happy with the sexual relationship, I was trying to make everything else work, and I just wanted some quiet, NSA sex. I wasn't looking much beyond the Orlando area for travel and time concerns. I'd had some success, meeting one or two people who were local or local-ish and with whom I'd played a bit, but nothing much had come of things. One day in mid December I received a message, which read, roughly, that while she didn't agree with why I was on OKC she understood that shit happens, and that my profile interested her do greatly that despite her reservations she felt compelled to talk to me further and hear my story.
It was the most brutally honest, to the point message I'd received on the site yet. I fired back a response immediately, and only the paused to view her profile. I was instantly hooked. She wrote succinctly, with a controlled intelligence and a strong passion that matched the pictures of her brilliant red hair and red lips, both shining like rubies reflecting firelight. There was no way, I thought, that such a smart, strong, gorgeous woman would ever want anything more to do with me, but I wasn't about to turn down the chance to find out.
Poly Wrecking: I Wasn't Ready
I've not touched on Polyamory in my life here on the blog a great deal lately. It's been over a month since I posted about realizing that a part of me wants the idealized Poly unit. At the time I was perfectly sincere, but I was missing a key component that has been preventing — and in fact, destroyed chances — for me to realize that dream. As it turns out, I've not been as ready for a truly Polyamorous lifestyle as I thought I was. I did not properly prepare myself, nor did I seek out the advice of those who have been Poly for years or decades. My own ignorance and inability to see beyond myself failed me and my partners. I failed Mrs. AbsinthePassion, while simultaneously being exactly what I thought she needed. Things I said and did were wrong, flat out, and here now is my confession.

I spent a bit of time today with our viticulturists from both Lytton Springs & Monte Bello; Will Thomas & Kyle Theriot, respectively.
And you know what?
They're getting a bit antsy.
And that's a good sign. That means we're getting somewhere.
Mind you, we're not there yet. Not by any means; meaning, there is no there there; not yet. But they're starting to make Pinot Noir jokes, and that's always a good sign.
And how are our vines looking? Calling Lytton Springs, how you?
Yeah, you good. Or, put another way, you've come a long way, baby! You ain't that skinny lil' fella gettin' sand in the face at the beach no more!
Yeah, you've come a long way …
And how you, Monte Bello?
Wow, you look great too! Just a whole different vibe about you …
I don't know what it is, just somethin' … different about you, somehow.
Please stay tuned as we follow our lovely vines through the 2013 vintage!

What is Plant Breeding?
For several thousand years, farmers have been
altering the genetic makeup of the crops they
grow. Human selection for features such as faster
growth, larger seeds or sweeter fruits has dramatically
changed domesticated plant species compared to
their wild relatives. Remarkably, many of our
modern crops were developed by people who lacked
an understanding of the scientific basis of plant
Despite the poor understanding of the process, plant
breeding was a popular activity. Gregor Mendel himself,
the father of genetics, was a plant breeder, as were
some of the leading botanists of his time. Mendel's
1865 paper (http://www.MendelWeb.org/Mendel.html)
explaining how dominant and recessive alleles could
produce the traits we see and could be passed to offspring
was the first major insight into the science behind
the art. The paper was largely ignored until 1900, when
three scientists working on breeding problems rediscovered
it and publicized Mendel's findings.
Major advances in plant breeding followed the revelation
of Mendel's discovery. Breeders brought their new understanding
of genetics to the traditional techniques of self-pollinating
and cross-pollinating plants.
Plant breeder Sally Clayshulte collects pollen
Corn breeders, particularly, tried numerous strategies
to capitalize on the insights into heredity. Corn
plants that had traditionally been allowed to
cross-pollinate freely were artificially self-pollinated
for generations and crossed to other self-pollinated
lines in an effort to achieve a favorable combination
of alleles. The corn we eat today is the result
of decades of this strategy of self-pollination
followed by cross-pollination to produce vigorous
hybrid plants. Information on the history of corn
breeding is available in an article written by
L.W. Kannenberg for the Ontario Corn Producers
Association (http://www.ontariocorn.org/
The art of recognizing valuable traits and incorporating
them into future generations is very important
in plant breeding. Breeders have traditionally
scrutinized their fields and traveled to foreign
countries searching for individual plants that
exhibit desirable traits. Such traits occasionally
arise spontaneously through a process called mutation,
but the natural rate of mutation is too slow and
unreliable to produce all the plants that breeders
would like to see.
In the late 1920s, researchers discovered that
they could greatly increase the number of these
variations or mutations by exposing plants to
X-rays. "Mutation breeding" accelerated after
World War II, when the techniques of the nuclear
age became widely available. Plants were exposed
to gamma rays, protons, neutrons, alpha particles,
and beta particles to see if these would induce
useful mutations. Chemicals, too, such as sodium
azide and ethyl methanesulphonate, were used to
cause mutations.
Examples of plants that were produced via mutation breeding are given in the table below.
Quite a few flower cultivars have been developed via mutation breeding, among them some of the cultivars of Alstroemeria, begonia, carnation, chrysanthemum, dahlia, and snapdragon.
Mutation breeding was particularly popular in
the United States during the 1970s. Although interest
has waned somewhat in recent years, occasional
varieties continue to be produced using these
methods. For example, the new herbicide-resistant
wheat variety Above (http://wheat.colostate.edu/above.html)
was developed using exposure to sodium azide.
Mutation breeding efforts continue around the
world today. Of the 2,252 officially released
mutation breeding varieties, 1,019, or almost
half, have been released during the last 15 years.
For more information on mutation breeding, go
to the International Atomic Energy Agency's site
at http://www-infocris.iaea.org/MVD/
and click first on "introduction" and
then on "FAO/IAEA Mutant Variety Database."

Another method for increasing the number of mutations
in plants is tissue culture. Tissue culture is
a technique for growing cells, tissues, and whole
plants on artificial nutrients under sterile conditions,
often in small glass or plastic containers.
Tissue culture was not developed with the intention
of causing mutations, but the discovery that plant
cells and tissues grown in tissue culture would
mutate rapidly increased the range of methods
available for mutation breeding.
More information on tissue culture of plants
is available at http://www.jmu.edu/biology/biofac/facfro/cloning/cloning.html.
A lesson on the basics of tissue culture http://croptechnology.unl.edu/viewLesson.cgi?
LessonID=957885612 is available at the Crop
Technology web site maintained by the University
of Nebraska at Lincoln.
It was during the 1970s also that haploid breeding
was heavily utilized. Spontaneously occurring
haploid plants, those having half the normal number
of chromosomes, were discovered in the 1920s,
but haploid breeding was not a practical technique
until methods for the controlled production of
haploid plants were developed. Once a haploid
plant has been obtained, its chromosomes are artificially
doubled to return the plant to the normal number
of chromosomes. Such a plant is valuable because
the chromosomes that were created by artificial
doubling are exact copies of the chromosomes that
were present in the haploid plant.
Haploids have been used in creating cultivars
of barley, maize, tobacco, asparagus, strawberries,
and tall fescue grass. Often these plants are
more useful in basic research than in commercial
applications, but the haploid-derived barley cultivar
Tangangara was released for commercial production
in Australia in 1996. A list of haploid-derived
barley lines that are being tested for commercial
value is available at http://www.regional.org.au/au/abts/2001/t4/broughton.htm.
A diagram of the haploid breeding process is
provided at http://barleyworld.org/NABGMP/QTLFIG.HTM.
A description of how this technique is being used
to create new barley cultivars in Australia, and
how it differs from genetically engineering the
barley, is available at http://www.wintv.com.au/science/barley.shtml.
While most breeders cross-pollinate plants of
a single species, some breeding methods rely on
crosses that can be made between two species within
the same genus. A cross between Musa acuminata
and Musa balbisiana, both members of the
genus Musa, produced the bananas with which
we are familiar. Less commonly, the cross is between
members of two different genera. A cross between
wheat, Triticum aestivum, and rye, Secale
cereale, produced the grain called triticale,
which contains a copy of all the chromosomes from
both species..
Photo: USDA
A variation on the wide crossing procedure is to select
plants that have single chromosomes or chromosome arms
substituted from one species into another. Many modern
wheat cultivars, for example, contain a chromosome arm
from rye, which adds resistance to several diseases.
A list of wheat cultivars that contain a chromosome
arm from rye is available at http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ggpages/1rscom.html
Transgenic technology provides the means to make
even more distant "crosses" than were previously
possible. Organisms that have until now been completely
outside the realm of possibility as gene donors
can be used to donate desirable traits to crop
plants. These organisms do not provide their complete
set of genes, but rather donate only one or a
few genes to the recipient plant. For example,
a single insect-resistance gene from the bacterium
Bacillus thuringiensis can be transferred
to a corn plant to make Bt corn. A description
of Bt corn is available on our Current Transgenic
Products page.
Transgenic plants were first created in the early
1980s by four groups working independently at
Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri,
the Rijksuniversiteit in Ghent, Belgium, Monsanto
Company in St. Louis, Missouri, and the University
of Wisconsin. On the same day in January 1983,
the first three groups announced at a conference
in Miami, Florida, that they had inserted bacterial
genes into plants. The fourth group announced
at a conference in Los Angeles, California, in
April 1983 that they had inserted a plant gene
from one species into another species.
The Washington University group, headed by Mary-Dell
Chilton, had produced cells of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia,
a close relative of ordinary tobacco, that were
resistant to the antibiotic kanamycin (Framond
et al., 1983). Jeff Schell and Marc Van Montagu,
working in Belgium, had produced tobacco plants
that were resistant to kanamycin and to methotrexate,
a drug used to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis
et al., 1983). Robert Fraley, Stephen Rogers,
and Robert Horsch at Monsanto had produced petunia
plants that were resistant to kanamycin (Fraley
et al, 1983a). The Wisconsin group, headed
by John Kemp and Timothy Hall, had inserted a
bean gene into a sunflower plant.
These discoveries were soon published in scientific
journals. The Schell group's work appeared in
Nature in May (Herrera-Estrella
et al., 1983) and the Chilton group's work
followed in July (Bevan
et al., 1983). The Monsanto group's work appeared
in August in Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences (Fraley
et al, 1983b). The Hall group's work appeared
in November in the journal Science (Murai
et al., 1983).
These early transgenic plants were laboratory
specimens, but subsequent research has developed
transgenic plants with commercially useful traits
such as resistance to herbicides, insects, and
The rest of this web site discusses the methods
for creating transgenic plants, the plants that
have been created, their evaluation and regulation,
and the many issues that have arisen as a result
of this new phase in the history in plant breeding.
