I just wanted to post up another idea for cooking ducks. This works really well with snow geese too, but my latest batch was all teal.
Soak the teal in salt water for a couple of days to get rid of most of the blood left.
Using a crock pot:
Just add the teal breasts, bbq sauce (I usually fill up the bottle with water, shake, and add it in too), montreal steak seasoning, worcestershire, and horse radish to the crock pot and cook everything on low for 2-3 hrs. I usually check/stir every hour and big duck breasts will take longer. Make sure there is enough liquid to keep the breasts totally covered throughout the cooking process. When they are done (should be cooked through, yet soft and pliable) pull them out of the crock pot and shred each breast with 2 forks. Add the bbq sauce mixture from the crock pot back into the meat and eat like you would a pulled pork sandwich. VERY good way to feed the masses with an excellent meal. My wife HATES the gamey taste of duck and can always tell when I slightly overcook them on the grill, but she will out-eat me on these pulled duck sandwiches.
Pro tip: add bacon fat to crock pot for a little something extra.
Also, if you really want to impress the wife, look into souis vide method.

Thanks for the Crock Pot idea. I recently used the crock pot for a whole black duck I got a couple days earlier. Came out very badly, any tips for future crock pot recipes?

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (405 votes).
In short: Surprisingly tough! Great course, best atmosphere thanks to the first class race director and race rules that got runners to encourage each other :)Date of review: December 26, 2011
In short: Hilly with fabulous sceneryIn full: Made the 70 minute cut off with 80 seconds to spare! Fell over twice in the last 3 miles! Other than that loved this race. Fabulous for anyone that fancies a bit of a challenge.Date of review: November 13, 2011
In short: Tough but worth it!In full: My first marathon, and I thought I was well prepared... but for this I certainly wasnt! The hills were a lot tougher than I had imagined and in the end I was pleased just to struggle round to the finish. Without the fantastic support of the many friendly marshalls I'm not sure I would have done. Overall the event was really friendly, superbly well organised, and good value for money. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast at the end and will be back next year for more - a little wiser to the rigours of the hills!Date of review: November 3, 2011
In short: Ironman to Fatman to Greensand ManIn full: Skeleton ManWell, what a course. I heard it was gonna be hard and I found out this was a very testing marathon. In fact you could say this was my first marathon run, as my only other race at this distance was at the Bolton Ironman in July, which was tough (the bike especially) The main thing that was against me during this race was the lack hill training on foot during the year and the fact I hadn't really run any distance since the end of July. I decided to stick to swimming and running after the IM, but I over did the swim sessions, got injured, went on holiday with my family and took another few weeks off all training (in all nearly 4 weeks) until I got the reminder email about the Greensand marathon 10 days before. So I thought, well, how hard can it be? It's not as if I have to swim and cycle before it, so just go out gently and it will be fine. Hmmmm. I wanted to make sure I could at least handle most of the mileage on the flat, so I did a 19 mile run the week before and felt ok, after 2 days recovery. Although carrying a lot of extra pounds (beers and Cornish pasties mainly) and my reduced fitness level, my HR was quite high. Anyway on the day I lined up amongst the very friendly runners and joined in on the singing, which was good fun, overlooking the first of the hills yet to come. So after it had begun and we were on our way, I checked my polar and I heart rate was sky high and the time was only 2mins 46 secs. Ut oh. As I am a relative newbie to the marathon world, I naturally thought, sod it, just go all in for as long as you I can, remembering the cutoff of 70 mins was looming and I didn't want to get caught short. When I got to the top of Leigh Hill @ 54 mins, well done, but a long way to go. The scenery was fantastic and the off-road paths were great, as it is generally not somewhere I would normally go.I managed to hit the turn 13 mile point at 1:54, grabbing a refreshing lucazade from the semmless supply of friendly marshals. Who were on hand a various point in the race with wter and jelly babies. However, by mile 15 the hills had taken their toll on my un-trained legs and I was cramping all over, reducing me to walk up most of the hills. On a side note it did give me time to check out the views. I was still managing to drag myself up most of the hills and I seemed to get second wind on anything that I could at least see over and carried on, until I was obviously dragging my hoofs a bit and clipped a root which sent me over at about the 21 mile mark. I dusted my self down and carried on. (Thanks to Mark who ran with me for 3 of the last 5 miles) I knew that after I had done the last bit of mileage, all I had to do was climb the last hill. (Something I had been thinking of since I past it early on in the race.) I managed to drag my quads up the hill and finish of the last bit with a nice run down hill, collecting my son Oscar for the finish line (4hr 18mins.) After which I realised that I had done something to my knee and walking was very tough. Good old endorphins. But overall I would say, that you would be hard to find a better, more relaxed, friendly and rewarding event. The medal/t-shit/hat combo is great is also great. Thanks DR and the team for a great event. Ps. I would recommend that you do not do this event with only a weeks training like myself, as it makes an IM seem easy……….Date of review: November 1, 2011
In short: Tough but enjoyable with the cut off time making a reasonable start necessary, lots of uneven surfaces so lots of concentration required. Tougher than Beachy Head in my opinion but very well done to those brave(foolish) enough to run both!Date of review: October 28, 2011
In short: A demanding marathon but the scenery and enthusiasm of the marshals and other runners helped make it a wonderful experience and will definitely be back next year. The goodies and cooked breakfast afterwards were an added bonus.Date of review: October 28, 2011
In short: Don't be deceived. As much elevatiion per mile as a Lakeland / Coastal marathon!In full: A very tough cut-off for the slower runner (think ~4.30h flat time) but if you have the endurance, sub 5h30 is very achievable. You just have to focus on getting speed into your legs and going for it.Great fun, fantastic marshalls and a great post event breakie too, albeit at 2-3 in the afternoon.Date of review: October 28, 2011
In short: Not as tough as the Picnic!!In full: A very memorable day for this runner after insanely doubling up this event with Beachy Head on the previously day. This made the 70 mins cut-off to Leith Hill an even bigger challenge, and I had to battle a lot harder than planned to reach the 6.55 miles with only 4 mins to spare. My sympathies to those runners that were outside the cut-off and were turned back to complete the half-marathon distance.Once you made Leith Hill, you could then ease up the pace and enjoy the undulating trail without any further time pressures. I was given good advice by many who had run the event in previous year - not to get carried away on the next 10km to the halfway point after the euphoria of making the cut-off. It did leave a little bit in the tank to hang on for the return at Leith Tower around 20 miles, and allowed me to run the bulk of the final 6 miles downhill (apart from that final hill!)This is a tough marathon. Although it is possible to get a decent time (I didn't) with plenty of hill work in training, sensible tactics, and good eye-sight to handle the technical parts of the course - I could have done with a carrot or two which may have helped me avoid getting a foot tangled up in some exposed roots, and then clipping a rock resulting in a heavy fall (bruised ribs and painful shoulder) but was able to carry on.The course was fantastically marshaled, well stocked feed stations, good signage and friendly runners. There was a lack of course signs on the final downhill stretch, but I had teamed up with another runner at this point who was confident that we were on track. Great cheer at the finish, lovely medal, t-shirt, and breakfast/showers to bring me back to like.Thanks to Dr Rob and the team. Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: still pining for it, missing it already, can't wait for next year.Date of review: October 26, 2011
In short: Superb race with great views and encouragement from other runners and marshalls. Lots of hills but more runnable than the Picnic.Date of review: October 26, 2011

Kavanagh, Julie
Julie Kavanagh Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton
Julie Kavanagh is an English dance critic and biographer.
Julie Kavanagh's biography of British choreographer Frederick Ashton (1904–1988) is a solid contribution to the study of this artist who was a major force in the art of dance in the twentieth century. The clarity of the prose in Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton and the perceptive reading of Ashton's life and its expression in art have been attributed to Kavanagh's grounding in the art. Kavanagh is a dance critic, the London editor of The New Yorker, and a former member of the Royal Ballet company—which Ashton headed for much of his career. One of Ashton's closer friends in his final years, Kavanagh gained the confidence of her subject and enjoyed a rapport that resulted in an intimate yet objective life of the man and his art. As a journalist, she maintains an objective detachment in Secret Muses which is admired by most reviewers. The book covers the choreographer's life from his childhood in Peru under the stern and melancholic presence of his father George Ashton, a diplomat and businessman who was consternated by his son's effeminacy, to Ashton's triumphs in New York and London and his final years as a giant of English cultural life. She notes that Ashton's life-course was set when, as a youth, he saw Anna Pavlova of the Ballets Russes dance in Peru. Kavanagh reveals that Ashton wanted to be Pavlova, but it wasn't until after his father's suicide, when Ashton was in his teens, that the boy dedicated himself to dance. By then it was too late to develop as a dancer, but without the usual training, and relying on scant knowledge of the technique of the art, and of music, Ashton nonetheless pursued his passion. Ashton's romantic relationships as well as his life-long associations with prominent dancers and British royalty become the "secret muses" of Kavanagh's title. Secret Muses has been welcomed by most critics for its extension of the study of an important artist, and its contribution to the history of ballet. Kavanagh's technique, journalistic rather than academic, relies on interviews, films, and her own astute observations. "She brings us not just the man's struggle but the man himself, in all his complexity," wrote Arlene Croce. Terry Teachout noted an absence of academic rigor that at times results in omissions and underexplanation, but praised the book as "invaluable" and applauded Kavanagh for the "skill and sensitivity" with which she "evokes the imaginative world" of Ashton's ballets. The journalistic approach does not sacrifice the quality of Kavanagh's research. One critic appreciated the Kavanagh's presentation of a "panorama of secrets," which serve to "reveal the world of the man and the artist in a clear light."
Jonathan Keates (review date 9 November 1996)
SOURCE: "Oh to Be a Little Freddie Ashton from Lima, Peru," in The Spectator, November 9, 1996, p. 53.
[In the following review of Secret Muses, Keates observes the private and professional features of the figure of Frederick Ashton that emerge in Kavanagh's biography.]
Lurking within the exotically bedecked, lavishly appointed saloons and antechambers of this palatial work, a novel or a film script eternally seeks to escape. At its opening a small boy watches a famous ballerina dance in a South American theatre and yearns to be the very creature who has so entranced him. By the close, having understandably failed to dance like Pavlova, he has instead gained celebrity as the creator of a brilliantly idiosyncratic choreography whose elegance and wit, entrancing to audiences, have given the Royal Ballet a memorable identity. In the space between, as if this were not already crammed enough with the hero's evident dedication to his art, he contrives to develop two very different private and public faces. As Fred he is the restless pursuer of attractive though not always available men, who may or may not love him in return, while as Freddie he becomes one of those beguilers of tedium, picnic guests and boon companions over cocktails within the orbit of royal intimacy at Clarence House and Kensington Palace.
'Freddie', his grander acquaintances keep assuring Julie Kavanagh (and protesting rather too much in the process), 'wasn't a snob', but a pardonable sense of having made it socially was undoubtedly enhanced by some fairly ordinary family beginnings as the son of a farmer's daughter married to a post office clerk turned business manager. A childhood in Peru lent the required touch of glamour, however, and the positively casebook homosexual formation of dressing up in mummy's frocks, amitiés amoureuses with little girls next door, a joyless stint at a Kent boarding school, was completed with Ashton père's mysterious suicide in Guayaquil when his son was 19.
George Ashton's hopes for Fred can scarcely have involved ideas either...

SOURCE: A review of Secret Muses, in The Economist, March 15, 1997, Vol. 342, no. 8008, p. S15.
[The following review briefly assesses Kavanagh's depiction of Frederick Ashton and his world in Secret Muses.]
A man can sometimes be defined more by the qualities he lacks than by those he possesses. Frederick Ashton, whose career, together with those of Margot Fonteyn and Ninette de Valois, virtually describes the history of English ballet, might be expected to have been a formidably authoritative figure, a match for the professionals he collaborated with, something high-powered along the lines of a George Balanchine or a Serge Diaghilev. Not at all: constitutionally lazy, never able to read a score, bored by teaching, vague at times as to the exact steps he wanted, Ashton ambushed his elusive muse more obliquely. He knew what he was after, but what Julie Kavanagh brings out in this sympathetic and perceptive biography is his informality, his indirectness, his comparatively uneducated instinct for dance. In its old-fashioned Englishness, it was of a piece with his lightness of temperament, his genius for witty fooling: his impersonations (the long-nosed Edith Sitwell, say, or the galumphing Isadora Duncan) were legendary.
All this is fitting in a choreographer whose ballets are themselves regarded as quintessentially English—in the loose sense of the word. The qualities so often...

Kirkus Reviews (review date 1 April 1997)
SOURCE: A review of Secret Muses, in Kirkus Reviews, April 1, 1997, p. 524.
[The following short review points out the strengths of Kavanagh's portrait of Frederick Ashton's life.]
A slavishly detailed but lightsomely written life of the British ballet-maker.
Kavanagh, London editor of the New Yorker, explains in an afterword that Ashton alternately authorized and forbade her project, chagrined to be reminded by her of his mortality. "It's the finality of it—knowing you're grabbing as much out of me as you can before I die," he once complained. And she has grabbed it. The intelligence and novelistic command of this book about the man who helped to invent modern English ballet is equaled only by the depth of Kavanagh's research. Her enviable ease and glamorous settings range from Ashton's first glimpse, as a boy in Lima, Peru, of Anna Pavlova, to his apprenticeship with Bronislava Nijinska in Paris in the '20s, to his American stints and sundry European wanderings, and his irrepressibly multiple sexual selves. We're treated to the chronicle of Ashton's dances (Les Patineurs, A Wedding Bouquet, Monotones, et al.) as he worked with Marie Rambert of the Ballet Club and Ninette de Valois of the Vic-Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet, which he eventually directed). And we're regaled with his legendary late-night wit. Kavanagh reports high times in the '30s: "Spotting a minor playwright performing fellatio on a major playwright in a corner of a typical theatrical party, Ashton quipped to Bunny Roger, 'Look! There's K—trying to suck some talent out of E—.'" Her secondary characters alone seem reason enough to look for this life someday in a movie theater: Margot Fonteyn, Maynard Keynes, Jean Cocteau, Serge Diaghilev, Gertrude Stein, Rudolf Nureyev, and the Queen Mother. But in all the crush of this crowd, she also singles out Ashton for memorable, consistent portraiture. Gamin, crank, romantic, he "was not a happy man," she says. "Most of his adulthood was spent half-consciously seeking unrequited emotional situations." Kavanagh explores them vividly.
Both Ashton's wiles and his ballets make this irresistible reading.
Terry Teachout (review date 18 May 1997)
SOURCE: "Scenes de Ballet," in The New York Times, May 18, 1997, p. 14.
[In the following review, Teachout praises Secret Muses for Kavanagh's "skill and sensitivity" while objecting to a lack of "concise critical interpretation" in the treatment of her subject.]
Time was when Sir Frederick Ashton's ballets seemed built to travel. The Royal Ballet danced them to loud acclaim at home and abroad, while the Joffrey Ballet went so far as to offer occasional all-Ashton bills. The visionary decadence of "Illuminations," the genteel surrealism of "A Wedding Bouquet," the crystalline mysteries of "Monotones": all were once staples of the dance life of American balletomanes. Even now, if one were to ask the 10 leading dance critics in America to name the 10 most important choreographers of the 20th century, it's a safe bet that Ashton would make every list.
But times have changed, and Ashton's American reputation, less than a decade after his death, is based mainly on memories. The Royal Ballet's scheduled performances of "Cinderella," "La Valse" and "Daphnis and Chloe" at this summer's Lincoln Center Festival will mark the first time any of Ashton's ballets have been seen in New York since 1994, and the first time in 20 years that "Cinderella" has been danced anywhere in this country. The Joffrey today is an Ashtonless shadow of its former self—the current management prefers dancing to the music of the artist formerly known as Prince—and it has been four years since American Ballet Theater last presented its staging of "Symphonic Variations," Ashton's signature piece, in New York. In the dance capital of the world, England's greatest choreographer has been reduced to the status of a poor country cousin.
It is for this reason above all that the publication of Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton is so welcome. Nothing is half as likely to put Ashton back in the limelight as an intelligent, gossipy biography, and this one resounds with the clatter of very big names being dropped from a very great height. Ashton knew everybody from Evelyn Waugh (who—surprise—didn't like him) to Mikhail Baryshnikov, and among the closest friends of his old age was Julie Kavanagh, now The New Yorker's London editor, to whom he spoke frankly and in scandalous detail about his life, loves and ballets. Virtually from the beginning of their acquaintance, Ms. Kavanagh made no bones about wanting to write a biography, and he cooperated fully (if fitfully), granting her access to his papers after his death, in 1988.
The result is a book that reveals, among many other things, the close relationship between Ashton's sex life and his casting choices. Whether such information sheds much light on his art is hard to say, but there can be no question of malice: if one has to have a posthumous whistle-blower, it would be hard to pick a more sympathetic one than Ms. Kavanagh. Her obvious affection for Ashton is irresistible—it is difficult to read Secret Muses without longing to put the book down every few pages and look at one of his ballets—and she has captured his fey, quirky personality with enviable precision, in part because she seems never to have hesitated to ask the kind of embarrassing question that leaves most interviewers fumbling for euphemisms.
On one unforgettable occasion, Ms. Kavanagh even dared to inquire whether Ashton had ever slept with Antony Tudor, the choreographer of "Pillar of Fire." "Ugh!" he replied, grandly throwing in a "theatrical shimmy," then topping it with this cyanide-coated cherry: "I found him desperately unattractive. I couldn't have touched Tudor if he'd been scented in myrrh."
But Secret Muses is the work of a journalist, not a scholar, and there are times when it suffers accordingly. The bibliography and source notes are sketchy, and Ms. Kavanagh has not bothered to include a basic checklist of ballets by Ashton. And while most modern biographies suffer from overexplanation, this one errs in the other direction: the facts are all here, but readers unfamiliar with the larger context of Ashton's career might at times have been better served by a more explicitly interpretive approach.

[In the following essay, Croce discusses the development of Frederick Ashton's career and his contributions to British ballet alongside comments on Kavanagh's treatment of these themes in her biography.]
Biographies of artists are notably tricky to write: the greater the art, the less there is for the biographer to get hold of. The artist's life is absorbed by that other reality which is the art, and what's left over—the husk of a life—is comparatively uninteresting. When the artist is a dancer or a choreographer, the biographer is faced with the special task of commemorating someone whose...

The choreographer Frederick Ashton—one of the greatest ballet masters in history—was born in 1904, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, to a couple who were natives of England. Around the age of three, he moved with his family (including three older brothers and a younger sister) to Lima, Peru, where he stayed until going to boarding school in England at the age of 15. Ashton never returned to Lima, yet over the course...

Tip: Choose a light-colored vinegar to avoid dyeing your eggs. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Poach-Eggs-Step-03_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 3: Prep the Eggs Get small bowls ready for your eggs. This way the eggs will keep their shape and you'll be able to cook them all at the same time. Crack them carefully into the bowls and check for bits of shell. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Poach-Eggs-Step-05_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 4: Slip the Eggs Into the Water Now, slip the eggs into the water one at a time. Work your way around the pan clockwise, so you know which eggs are done first. Tip: Fresher eggs cook faster and have firmer whites. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Poach-Eggs-Step-08_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 5: Cover the Pan and Use Gentle Heat Cover the pan and turn off the heat. The key to poaching is a gentle heat that will give your eggs a firm white and a loose yolk. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/0/HT_Poach-Eggs-Step-10_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 6: Time to Serve In just 4 minutes, the eggs will be delicate and delicious ready to serve. Carefully scoop them out of the pan, drain them on paper towels and transfer them to serving plates. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Fry-Eggs-Beauty-01_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Coming up How to Fry Eggs These step-by-step tips will teach you how to make fried eggs that are perfect every time, whether you like them sunny-side up or...

Wanted to share with you today one idea for using these little wool felt flower embellishments, which have been posted in my shop this week...I keep all of my scrap pieces of felt and do my best to use these pieces on my projects. You don't need a die cut for the grass or leaves. All hand cut, stitched on and love the overall look.I then moved on to cutting out felt hearts which can be found in my shop...Here are a few projects showing how to use these as well...Hope this inspires you to use felt on your next project. Hope you have a wonderful Friday and weekend.

Nespresso's Essenza Piano Black is nothing less than what you have become to expect from Nespresso's espresso machine lines. With Nespresso's brilliant simplicity and compact design, the Essenza Piano Black is virtually flawless in elegance and function.
>>Click here to purchase an Essenza Coffee Machine at Amazon today!<<
The features that we have become accustomed to with Nespresso are obvious when you get a look at this convenient machine. As with Nespresso's other single serve espresso machines, the Essenza Piano Black has the renowned 19 bar pressure pump that makes your beverage just that special.
Essenza Piano Black and Capsules
The Nespresso Essenza Black Piano is designed to work with the exclusive Nespresso capsules (sometimes referred to as pods). Nespresso lovers know that there is a wide variety of flavor profiles available in the 16 Grand Crus that are known to deliver a perfect espresso each and every time.
The widely popular pods contain the world's finest coffee with a hermetic seal. This seal ensures optimal freshness until use. Each capsule has a different flavor profile, aroma and character. Color coded for easy identification, you have a vast variety of choices to include decaffeinated options.
Essenza Piano Black Features
The Essenza Piano Black sports many of the well known features of Nespresso:
- Automatic control of coffee volume with programmable functions
- 19-Bar Pressure Pump
- Unique Thermoblock Heating Element
- Simple capsule insertion
- 30.4 ounce/1 Liter removable water tank
- Convenient used capsule container
- Sleek and compact design
- Popular and simple color options
- Energy Savings Mode
Essenza Piano Black – Your perfect machine?
Is the Essenza Piano Black the perfect machine for your home or office? If you consider the above, it is hard to find fault with this machine, however; some things to consider individually might be:
- Great machine price; yet the capsules/pods are exclusive and need to be replaced via Nespresso
- Cup sizes offered are espresso and Lungo; however it is easy enough to run twice and transfer
Nespresso Essenza Piano Black Summary
As you can see, it is difficult to find fault with this espresso machine. Because of the simplicity and convenience of ease in using this machine, you have more time to spend enjoying your espresso or Lungo.
The Essenza requires minimal clean up thanks to the used pod container which will only need to be emptied after 12
to 14 uses. Combined with the removable water tank that allows you to leave your machine where it belongs, there is virtually no mess.
Because the Essenza Piano Black delivers you your drink in around 30 seconds, you will waste no time standing in front of the machine waiting impatiently for delivery, and for those on the run, this is an exceptional bonus.
The serving temperature of your espresso will be perfect in comparison to some machines that deliver a sub-par temp and the 19 bar pressure pump aids in the perfect extraction of the coffee from the pod offering you a great full taste every time.
The energy savings mode will handle any accidental "oops, left the machine on" situations, and with the stylish compact design of the Essenza Piano Black, it will fit snugly anywhere on your counter top at home or office.
The Essenza Piano Black is also offered in the Essenza Titan Gray (titanium in color), and with the features outlined, this machine is an excellent grab for the price.
With the Essenza Piano Black, you can absolutely have the perfect espresso or Lungo each and every time within seconds, perfectly hot and flavorful, mess free. Enough said!

Don't worry. The article you are about to read has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't put on your Thanksgiving dinner plate. There's nothing worse than having your hopes for the perfect holiday meal dashed by someone telling you that you might want to think twice before choosing this or that side dish.
No, this article is about the undeniable health benefits of thanksgiving — that is, the conscious expression of gratitude — itself.
Gratitude is extolled by every religion on earth as an essential virtue. Cicero, the renowned Roman orator, called it "not only the greatest of the virtues but the parent of all others." Only recently, however, have medical researchers begun delving into the impact gratitude has on our mental and physical health.
One of the leaders in this field is U.C. Davis psychologist Robert Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology and author of the book Thanks! How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier."
Considered a pioneer in the field of "positive psychology" — a discipline that focuses less on illness and emotional problems and more on health-inducing behavior — Emmons makes a convincing case for the upside of maintaining a thankful attitude.
In one of Emmons' studies, participants were divided into three groups. At the end of each week one group wrote down five things they were grateful for. Another group kept track of daily hassles. And a control group listed five events that had made some impression on them. In the end, Emmons discovered that those in the gratitude group generally felt better about their lives, were more optimistic about the future and — perhaps most importantly — reported fewer health problems than the other participants.
Mmmmm… nothing like a little gratitude to balance that extra helping of mashed potatoes.
Like many others, I can relate to what Dr. Emmons is discovering about the connection between a grateful heart and a healthy heart. But for me it goes even further, deeper than that. Over the years I've found that gratitude grounded in my spiritual practice, and not mere positive thinking, is the real key to consistent health.
Emmons notes this himself in his citation of a 2002 study (McCullough et. al.) that found that those who attend religious services or engage regularly in some type of religious activity such as prayer are more likely to be grateful. This is not to say that you have to be religious in order to be grateful, only that our faith tends to enhance our ability to be grateful.
While I have no idea what I'll be having for dinner this Thanksgiving, one thing I'm absolutely certain of is that keeping track of what and how I think is at least as important as what I eat. Experience has shown that putting first things first will keep everything else — including my health — in order.

Australia Plans "Big Brother" Seizure of S/N, Passwords, Emails, Text Msgs

Country claims Orwellian measures are necessary to fight "white collar crime"
Steve Dalby has a big problem. As the chief regulatory officer at Australian internet service provider iiNet Ltd. (
), he
Sydney Morning Herald
that his company is struggling sustain the $3M USD a month service the government is demanding to spy on its citizens.
I. Orwellian Plan Could Cost Telecoms $3M USD a Month
Other service providers like Telstra Comp., Ltd. (
) are flat-out refusing to comply saying the government order to spy on everything from a user's Google Inc. (
) searches to storing the numbers involved in their encrypted payments via eBay, Inc.'s (
) PayPal is not only a gross invasion of privacy -- it's also likely illegal.
Security director Darren Kane told the
, "We cannot capture or provide any metadata or any content around something like Gmail because it is Google-owned, it is offshore and it is over the top of our network. The real value of what we might have in a data retention scheme would be greatly diminished as soon as the organised criminals and potential terrorists knew that we were not capturing that data."
Australia wants to "watch" its citizens' every digital communications. [Image Source: DeviantArt]
But that's precisely what the
Australian Securities and Investment Commission
(ASIC) wants access to full access to all user metadata, including usernames and passwords. It also wants to intercept and store copies of citizens' emails, social media chats, and text messages.
ASIC officials claim that handing ubiquitous spy powers to government regulators will help the ASIC fight
"white collar crime"
. But collecting the information may actually create criminal opportunity, as Telstra points out. And industry officials suggest that the plan could cost up to $400M USD to put in place, plus potentially tens, if not hundreds of millions a month to maintain a full watch over users' data.
II. U.S. Presidential Candidates are Eyeing Similar Efforts
Australia is a pretty punitive nation when it comes to internet law enforcement, having been
among the few to contemplate a "strikes" plan
to disconnect users' internet. But it's far from alone. The Obama and Bush administrations both
worked to
frameworks to allow
ubiquitous spying
. This is unlikely to change as both the current President and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have defending domestic spying.
Mr. Romney expressed a viewpoint narrowly in line with the President's plugging warrantless wiretaps in an interview, stating, "If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that's exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people. And I hear from time to time people say, 'Hey, wait a sec, we have civil liberties to worry about', but don't forget... the most important civil liberty I expect from my government is my right to be kept alive."
Much like Australia, the U.S. is currently considering heaping a plan to
sever "frequent" pirates' internet
on top of the growing framework of non-transparent, warrantless surveillance methods.
In both nations the big pushback is coming from interne service providers and internet software service providers like Google.
Sydney Morning Herald
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

7001 142nd. ave, #40
Largo, FL, U.S.A.
1 727 331 0401
January, 2015 - I'm still at it and have decided not to retire. You will notice, especially on my pricier books I have slashed my prices. For instance, Mr. Einstein is now only $10,000. After 30+ years as a used bookseller my M.S. has almost commanded me to retire. I thank you all for your continued patronage. My name is Jimmy Weyant. In April of 1984 I opened my first shop in Newport, R.I. Because I also write I named it The Scribe's Perch. It was only 600 square feet but it was a wonderful place. In the back, behind the stacks was an aviary. If you had children with you I'd invite them - one at a time - to enter the aviary with me. I'd catch a canary and let the child hold it to feel its heartbeat (I forget now, but its a zillion times a minute!). There was also always a cup of tea offered to my customers. I looked at my job as being the receiver of someone's passion. They had already bored their spouse, their neighbor, their workmates - I was there for them to tell me how to grow the perfect rose, how to make an airplane from scratch, or how to dress for a reenactment. My other job was, if the customer's companion was bored to entertain the bored one while the bibliophile checked out my stock. I was the first out of print dealer in the country to have an '800' number. I ran a national search by advertising in the Sunday editions of the NY Times, LA Times, Chicago Trib. - there were eight of them. Monday morning was a zoo for my staff of three! After a few years I began doing rare book auctions. I built that part of the business to where our prices realized were listed in American Book Price Current, the industry standard. I then lost everything in a divorce. Eight years ago I moved to Florida and after a couple of months here I decided to once again become involved in the buying and selling of old books. I missed the books, I missed the book people. And also, I'm addicted, you see. But unlike most addictions I find old books a lovely one. My "McDonald's Arches" is the elderly fellow pushing a wheel barrow full of old books. If you see him in a picture, you will know you are looking at a Scribe's Perch book. I am very careful to describe a book with accuracy and will always give a refund if there is any question regarding a book's condition. I always reserved the last page of the auction catalogs for myself. There I'd write of the goings on of The Scribe's Perch. I'd always close the same way, as I will here. By wishing you "Good bookin', by Golly"! Jimmy Weyant.
This seller's inventory is temporarily unavailable. Please try your search with another AbeBooks Bookseller.
We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web
sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as

Nashua cleared to begin work on Manchester Street Bridge
NASHUA — Bald eagles may have stalled the project, but the city has finally been granted permission to begin reconstructing the Manchester Street Bridge.
"We have delayed this a couple of times because of the eagles," said Gerry Reppucci, chairman of the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
On Tuesday, the board granted a special exception to allow the city of Nashua to work within the 75-foot prime wetland buffer of Pennichuck Brook to replace the nearly 80-year-old Manchester Street Bridge.
According to Joe Mendola of the city's engineering department, there is a bald eagle nest within the vicinity of the bridge.
"We need to keep that nest protected for the long haul," Mendola told the board. The typical breeding period for bald eagles is February to April, with the birds capable of flying and leaving their nests by July, said Mendola, adding they could decide to return to the nest.
With the eagles now gone, work can begin on the bridge project, which includes replacing the bridge, widening the roadway, adding a sidewalk, installing drainage swales other site improvements.
The Manchester Street Bridge has been on the municipal red-list of substandard bridges since 2008 because of structural deficiencies. The small bridge, which is over Pennichuck Brook between Nashua and Merrimack, is intended to be rebuilt with a larger paved width, safer cross slope and updated railing over the drinking water reservoir.
"Part of the structure will be built over," said Mendola.
City staff and engineers have been working with the state Division of Historical Resources and the Department of Environmental Services to mitigate the design's impact on existing wetlands.
The preliminary cost estimate of the bridge reconstruction is about $2.7 million.
"This project is jointly managed," Mendola said. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation is funding 80 percent, while the city is contributing 15 percent of the cost and the town of Merrimack is contributing 5 percent.
During construction, traffic will need to be detoured through the Henry Bourque Highway and Concord Street.
"It is long overdue to have this bridge replaced," Alderman Richard Dowd, Ward 2, told the board. "I'd like to see this go through."
Jack Currier, board member, said he supported the application, in part because it will aid with pedestrian safety and improve the public water supply by keeping contaminants out of the brook.
The city has been ordered to follow the bald eagle protection guidelines set forth by the New Hampshire Fish and Game email@example.com
