A delicious memoir about the eight months food writer David McAninch spent in Gascony—a deeply rural region of France virtually untouched by mass tourism—meeting extraordinary characters and eating the best meals of his life.
Though he'd been a card-carrying Francophile all of his life, David McAninch knew little about Gascony, an ancient region in Southwest France mostly overlooked by Americans. Then an assignment sent him to research a story on duck. After enjoying a string of rich meals—Armagnac-flambéed duck tenderloins; skewered duck hearts with chanterelles; a duck-confit shepherd's pie strewn with shavings of foie gras—he soon realized what he'd been missing.
McAninch decided he needed a more permanent fix. He'd fallen in love—not only with the food but with the people, and with the sheer unspoiled beauty of the place. So, along with his wife and young daughter, he moved to an old millhouse in the small village of Plaisance du Gers, where they would spend the next eight months living as Gascons. Duck Season is the delightful, mouthwatering chronicle of McAninch's time in this tradition-bound corner of France. There he herds sheep in the Pyrenees, harvests grapes, attends a pig slaughter, hunts for pigeons, distills Armagnac, and, of course, makes and eats all manner of delicious duck specialties—learning to rewire his own thinking about cooking, eating, drinking, and the art of living a full and happy life.
With wit and warmth, McAninch brings us deep into this enchanting world, where eating what makes you happy isn't a sin but a commandment and where, to the eternal surprise of outsiders, locals' life expectancy is higher than in any other region of France. Featuring a dozen choice recipes and beautiful line drawings, Duck Season is an irresistible treat for Francophiles and gourmands alike.

"[McAninch] falls in love with the area in beautiful and unexpected ways… Readers come away with a taste and respect for a regional commodity, a handful of enticing recipes, and a new appreciation for friendships unfettered by origin or boundary." - Publishers Weekly
"Filled with descriptions of food that will have readers' mouths watering, this book is a heartfelt foray into an often overlooked area of France… McAninch's ode to the people, food, and culture of Gascony is a traveler's delight. Readers will be…ready to hop on a flight to France" - Booklist
"This is the definitive book on the Gascon spirit…readers of any origin will want to buy a plane ticket to the Southwest of France the minute they put down the book." - Ariane Daguin, founder and CEO of D'Artagnan Foods and a James Beard Foundation Awards Committee member
"A magical book about an overlooked part of France where the civilized things in life-namely cooking, eating, and gustatory pleasure-take center stage. Duck Season is a heartwarming reminder to celebrate what matters." - James Oseland, author of the James Beard Award–winning Cradle of Flavor
"With deep knowledge…and a wordsmith's mastery, McAninch unveils the uniqueness of a particular collection of French folks, their kitchens and dining tables, their hills and valleys, and their particular (dare I say peculiar) history, leaving me with a near-insatiable desire to get to know this place firsthand." - Rick Bayless
"[Duck Season] stimulates our most lustful pleasures, namely, the discovery of a new place through its cuisine…If poetry is to literature what cuisine is to culture, then lusty [Duck Season] offers poetically seductive words." - Huffington Post
"Employing an embedded journalist's curiosity, a gourmand's appetite and a humorist's light touch, [McAninch] poses …, 'In an age of globalized everything, is there anyplace left that still feels truly French?' The answer…is absolument." - Mark Adams, author of the New York Times bestsellerTurn Right at Machu Picchu

I hoped to get some seed from this dwarf sunflower, but something else had the same idea, and it vanished overnight. Only a gnawed stalk was left.
Just like the one post I previously found time to write this week, but which WordPress has devoured and refuses to regurgitate. I've been working long hours for the last fortnight and have hardly seen the garden – no time to be outside, and no time to blog – so I resent the thefts, both inside and out.
Last time I was outside I was harvesting the bounty of a Mediterranean paradise. Now I find sharp breezes whipping the colour from the leaves, and the dank has coiled out from the earth and is pulling the lush leaves down into brown decay.
In a few days I'll be relishing autumn: the breezes will be crisp, not sharp, the fading leaves will be vivid new colours and I'll bury my nose in the earthy rot smell with satisfaction. But for now I feel like I missed the last days of summer, and instead of the gradual shift of the seasons, it's like the shock of seeing a long-absent friend and realising they've aged.
"O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until" …

According to venture capital tracker Venture Intelligence, from January 2015 to April 2016, Chinese investors, including Alibaba and Tencent, committed roughly $1.1 billion to Indian startups. Venture capitalists are not surprised that there is a bit of China in most of the top Indian startups.

Time's been on my mind as of late, where it goes, how it changes things, and acts in so many ways.
Time is an amazing healer. Apply enough time to almost any wound and notice how the pain dulls and fades away, at times making it seem as though the event never even happened.
Time can bring perspective, and yet it can twist it as well. It's amazing how it can make horrible things seem not so horrible, mediocre things seem great, and work in reverse as well. Have you ever thought back on something that seemed life changing at the time, but in hindsight life went on and hardly skipped a beat? How about the friend who you'd forgotten was so amazing and felt great to be around because time had stepped in between the two of you?
Time can be so cruel, and sometimes we feel like we're a slave to it with not enough hours in the day; yet time can seem like such a gift when there is so little available to us and we can appreciate just waking up each day.
Time, it keeps on ticking.

JDT Entertainment knows the importance of marketing In this sense, a firm's marketing department is often seen as of prime importance within the functional level of an organization.
Information from an organization's marketing department would be the most important, it should guide the actions of other department's within the firm. As an example, a marketing department could ascertain (via marketing research) that consumers desired a new type of product, or a new usage for an existing product. With this in mind, the marketing department would inform the R&D department to create a prototype of a product/service based on consumers' new desires.
The production department would then start to manufacture the product, while the marketing department would focus on the promotion, distribution, pricing, etc. of the product. Additionally, a firm's finance department would be consulted, with respect to securing appropriate funding for the development, production and promotion of the product.
Inter-departmental conflicts may occur, should a firm adhere to the marketing orientation. Production may oppose the installation, support and servicing of new capital stock, which may be needed to manufacture a new product. Finance may oppose the required capital expenditure, since it could undermine a healthy cash flow for the organization.
JDT Entertainment will help you solve all your marketing needs, if you are looking for marketing assistance or business solution our company can help you with that.

I, like many in their early 20s, am faced with this giant problem: Mental Fatigue. It could be my own fault for focusing on a million things at once or maybe it is simply a sign of the times. Either way, I've been searching for solutions. I've been listening to people like Dave Asprey, who is a genius when it comes to health. I've been participating in many online forums, reading books on focus and procrastination. I own a company, you would think with all this freedom I would be the ultimate focused person.
That is, until I started taking CILTEP + Smart Caffeine a month ago. Since then my life has drastically improved in ways that I must share.
Before I get into how CILTEP helped me focus and be an overall better human being, let me tell you – this isn't my first time trying to solve brain fog. I've tried Alpha Brain, Modafinil and even made my own stack of supplements (with alpha GPC, Vinpocetine, Huperzine A and Piracetam). Afterall, everyone in silicon valley is taking something to give them an edge, why not me? Obviously with each one I felt a little something and in Modafinils case it worked but gave me a massive headache.
I don't like headaches and i'm guessing you don't either. When I stumbled upon CILTEP, I was initially thinking that it wasn't going to work that great. I was very wrong – It works the best out of any brain supplement I've tried. It's just the right amount of kick to make me a PRODUCTIVE BEAST!
My Relationships Improved
Most of us take supplements like this just to study better or be more productive. I took it to gain an edge at work, which i'll talk about below, but it has also had a profound effect on my relationships. Have you ever felt like when you are with someone that you are not completely present with them? Like you are listening, but your not actually listening? With CILTEP this just doesn't happen. Whether it's my business partner or my girlfriend, they have have my FULL attention. Not only do they have my full presence, but when it comes time for me to talk I say things that are absolutely effortless to say – there is no thinking – elegant words just roll off my tongue. It's a pretty good feeling for someone who is usually socially awkward!
I'm WAY More Productive
I work longer hours, not because I have to, but because I like to. CILTEP has given me this feeling of being in the zone that I can only compare to complete ecstasy. At the end of the day when I am done with work, i feel so satisfied with myself because now the amount of work I get done in 8 or 9 hours, is what i would have gotten done in two weeks pre-CILTEP days! The only way to understand what I am talking about is to try actually TRY IT. You will be doing yourself a massive favor.
The last few weeks everyone in my life has heard me talk on and on about CILTEP and how amazing it is. I can not shut up about it and soon, I may even start distributing it. Everyone should feel like this! Also, The company Natural Stacks has proven to be amazing. I 100% believe that they care about quality and what they are putting out there. I also started taking the new magnesium supplement they offer with great effects.
8 Responses to How CILTEP & Smart Caffeine Completely Changed My Life
Ashley N. Cline says:
This is great to hear from someone who has also tried Alpha Brain! I just ordered some! I've been looking for something – I take Alpha Brain regularly but I only feel like it works if I starve myself and load up on coffee when I take it. Excited to try CILTEP!
Paul Serra says:
I'm excited for your to try it too Ashley!
Kevin says:
Paul have you ever heard of MasterMind by a company called Ample Being? Looks like the same active ingredients, but half the price. Saw them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MasterMind-Nootropic-Supplement-Artichoke-Forskolin/dp/B00J4YWEPM/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1397871064&sr=8-24&keywords=ciltep
Sacha says:
Thanks for your awesome review Paul 🙂
Shane Minor says:
I am going to start taking Ciltep very soon as well. Kevin, I think despite never taken it before, you get a better deal with Ciltep. One of Natural Stack's claims is that in comparison to other competing supplements, Natural Stack's offers you a complete list of how much of each supplement is placed into the product as opposed to something entitling a blend of unknown quantities. I'm really excited to start taking Ciltep, although I'm skeptical, the reviews of this stack really make me more eager to try it.. Also Paul, like you I've tried mixing up my own stack… I've tried Piracetam, Noopept, Uridine, DHA/EPA Formula, Citicoline, Phosphatidylserine and have not had any results… I got more results out of a 6 hour power energy shot than I had from any Nootropic on the market… so I'm really excited to be trying Ciltep+ Smart Caffeine.
Paul Serra says:
Thanks for the comment Shane. I find consistently that CILTEP works better with caffeine. Whether that is their smart caffeine or a cup of bulletproof coffee, it doesn't make a difference. The newest stack i am about to try is: 2 Ciltep, 1 600 mgAlpha GPC, 1 200 mcg Huperzine A and 1 10mg Vinpocetine. My current stack is 2 ciltep and 2 smart caffeine which is an amazing stack, just trying to change it up.
Zana says:
I have had fatigue problems forever, and have used piracetam and its cousins and many other things. I was pretty cynical when I tried CILTEP but it is making a really good difference for me. I also tried that Mastermind that is mentioned above. I don't see much difference in their effects on me, and it's true that MM is cheaper, BUT the pills are bright red and have dyes in them. I'm not wild about that, think I will stick with CILTEP after this.
Steve says:
Yall have to try DNA EVOLVE.

Sinkhole Swallows Pond: How Do Sinkholes Occur? (VIDEO)
Residents have been left concerned after a sinkhole swallowed up a pond on Sunday stunning locals in Newcastle, California.
Local landowner, Mark Korb, has said he woke up on Sunday morning only to find the man-made pond on his land had completely disappeared, apparently it had drained away due to a massive sinkhole beneath the land.
The sinkhole managed to drain the entire pond just overnight, with Korb saying, "I would guess probably four to five hours for this whole area to drain."
The report comes just weeks after two massive sinkholes in Florida stunned the nation, with one of them swallowing up a man as he lay in his bedroom.
So what are sinkholes and how do they occur?
Sinkholes are basically depressions in the ground that form over time due to the combined forces of erosion and gravity. They have been known to reveal themselves gradually over time, although sometimes, like the cases in Florida, they can cause sudden collapses.
Scientists say that sinkholes are usually caused by the water that flows below the topsoil. The water turns acidic from absorbing carbon dioxide and participating in botanical processes; when it eventually flows down into the bedrock, it begins to erode the structural integrity of the stone formations below.
Sinkholes are also well know to be found in areas where the bedrock is made of a soft mineral, such as limestone or gypsum.
Generally speaking there are three main types of naturally caused sinkholes:
A Cover-collapse sinkhole
This type of sinkhole occurs where the overburden is made of soft material, like clay. As caverns form in the bedrock below, pieces of the overburden tumble into the empty space, making the topsoil level weaker and weaker, until it eventually caves in.
A Cover-subsidence sinkhole
This type of sinkhole is usually characterized by small dimensions, the abundant presence of water and a gradual collapse.
A Dissolution (or solution) sinkhole
These don't exactly sink, but rather the overburden washes away, exposing the bedrock to erosion.
Here is a video of a 3D animation showing how sinkholes form:
One sinkhole in Florida recently gained international media coverage, after a man was sucked down into a hole that suddenly opened up under his bedroom.
The man's family members reported that they were all preparing for bed when they heard a loud crashing sound and then the man screaming as he was sucked down into the hole.
That sinkhole measured about 30 feet wide and 60 feet deep, and since it opened up it has become filled with clay and debris.
Officials have stated that despite a thorough search it is highly unlikely that the man's body will ever be recovered from the hole.
The home was bulldozed to the ground, and officials will now move to stabilize the sinkhole so it does not cause any further issues to the other residents in the area.
Already two other houses nearby the sinkhole home have been evacuated through fears that they too could collapse, as the foundations below the structures have been significantly weakened.
Here is a video news report into the new California sinkhole:

I am so tired of crying! LOL! This was sweet. I love to see the love that they have for eachother. There is hope!
Very nice song first of all, but you can't help but get swept away with the obvious that is the fact that those two and the children are so powerful and impressive in our minds and the minds of millions, you are overwhelmed joy and you wanna just thank God for this time in our history, while being mindful of the past and for those who paved the way. Beautiful.
As I sit here crying because of joy all I can say is Thank you God!

This pass is one of the difficult passes of the Dhauladhar range and is not very common amongst trekkers due to its very difficult approach. Local gaddis are frequently seen crossing this pass during summer and autumn with their flocks of sheep and goats. They take their flocks regularly across this pass for grazing up to Manimahesh and Lahaul and Spiti. It is interesting that these gaddi herdsmen, who are semi-nomadic, have been allotted pasturelands in very remote areas of Lahaul and Spiti. They cross these passes twice in a year with their livestocks. This pass is crossable by men and goats only; mules cannot cross this pass. Singhar the 'Killer' according to the local people is very unpredictable pass and one cannot be sure of weather conditions on it. Clouds emerge suddenly with strong winds and thunders; thus reducing the temperature considerably. Due to abrupt change in weather, situation at times become fatal for the trekkers.
Thamsar pass
This pass is of exceptional beauty and one can behold from here both sides of the Kangra and the Ravi valleys. Mules can also cross this pass. It is mostly frequented by gaddis and trekkers to enter into Ravi valley. From this pass, a gradual trail descends to a vast snowfield to the north.
Dhauladhar matterhorn
Dhauladhar Matterhorn or the Gauri Junda (4916 m) is located to the northeast of Dharamshala and is the highest peak in Dharamshala region. This peak requires technical climbing and therefore one must have technical know-how of mountaineering. The route to the peak approaches from Tang Narwana village to Toral Pass (4575 m) and then to the peak. The other route is from Jia Village to Supdhar, a camping place, below the Talang Pass and then to the peak after having one camp below the peak. The last ascent to the peak is almost vertical and is purely technical.
