I am free! I am haunted no more by the question that tortured my brain:
'Are you sane of a people gone mad? or mad in a world that is sane?'
I have had time to rest—and to pray—and my reason no longer is vext
By the spirit that hangs you one day, and would hail you as martyr the next.
Are the fields of my fancy less fair through a window that's narrowed and barred?
Are the morning stars dimmed by the glare of the gas-light that flares in the yard?
No! And what does it matter to me if to-morrow I sail from the land?
I am free, as I never was free! I exult in my loneliness grand!
Be a saint and a saviour of men—be a Christ, and they'll slander and rail!
Only Crime's understood in the world, and a man is respected—in gaol.
But I find in my raving a balm—in the worst that has come to the worst—
Let me think of it all—I grow calm—let me think it all out from the first.
The hints of the river below; and, away on the azure and green,
The old goldfield of Specimen Flat, and the township—a blotch on the scene;
The store, the hotels, and the bank—and the gaol and the people who come
With the weatherboard box and the tank—the Australian idea of home:
The scribe—spirit-broken; the 'wreck,' in his might-have-been or shame;
The townsman 'respected' or worthy; the workman respectful and tame;
The boss of the pub with his fine sense of honour, grown moral and stout,
Like the spielers who came with the 'line,' on the cheques that were made farther out.
The clever young churchman, despised by the swaggering, popular man;
The doctor with hands clasped behind, and bowed head, as if under a ban;
The one man with the brains—with the power to lead, unsuspected and dumb,
Whom Fate sets apart for the Hour—the man for the hour that might come.
The old local liar whose story was ancient when Egypt was young,
And the gossip who hangs on the fence and poisons God's world with her tongue;
The haggard bush mother who'd nag, though a husband or child be divine,
And who takes a fierce joy in a rag of the clothes on the newcomer's line.
And a lad with a cloud on his heart who was lost in a world vague and dim—
No one dreamed as he drifted apart that 'twas genius the matter with him;
Who was doomed, in that ignorant hole, to its spiritless level to sink,
Till the iron had entered his soul, and his brain found a refuge in drink.
And I was ambitious. Perhaps as a boy I could see things too plain—
How I wished I could write of the truths—of the visions—that haunted my brain!
Of the bush-buried toiler denied e'en the last loving comforts of all—
Of my father who slaved till he died in the scrub by his wedges and maul.
Twenty years, and from daylight till dark—twenty years it was split, fence, and grub,
And the end was a tumble-down hut and a bare, dusty patch in the scrub.
'Twas the first time he'd rested, they said, but the knit in his forehead was deep,
And to me the scarred hands of the dead seemed to work as I'd seen them in sleep.
And the mother who toiled by his side, through hardship and trouble and drought,
And who fought for the home when he died till her heart—not her spirit—wore out:
I am shamed for Australia and haunted by the face of the haggard bush wife—
She who fights her grim battle undaunted because she knows nothing of life.
By the barren track travelled by few men—poor victims of commerce, unknown—
E'en the troubles that woman tells woman she suffers, unpitied, alone;
Heart-dumbed and mind-dulled and benighted, Eve's beauty in girlhood destroyed!
Till the wrongs never felt shall be righted—and the peace never missed be enjoyed.
There was no one to understand me. I was lonely and shy as a lad,
Or I lived in a world that was wider than ours; so of course I was 'mad.'
Who is not understood is a 'crank'—so I suffered the tortures of men
Doomed to think in the bush, till I drank and went wrong—I grew popular then.
There was Doctor Lebenski, my friend—and the friend, too, of all who were down—
Clever, gloomy, and generous drunkard—the pride and disgrace of the town.
He had been through the glory and shame of a wild life by city and sea,
And the tales of the land whence he came had a strong fascination for me.
And often in yarning or fancy, when she-oaks grew misty and dim,
From the forest and straight for the camp of the Cossack I've ridden with him:
Ridden out in the dusk with a score, ridden back ere the dawning with ten—
Have struck at three kingdoms and Fate for the fair land of Poland again!
He'd a sorrow that drink couldn't drown—that his great heart was powerless to fight—
And I gathered the threads 'twixt the long, pregnant puffs of his last pipe at night;
For he'd say to me, sadly: 'Jack Drew'—then he'd pause, as to watch the smoke curl—
'If a good girl should love you, be true—though you die for it—true to the girl!
'A man may be false to his country—a man may be false to his friend:
'Be a vagabond, drunkard, a spieler—yet his soul may come right in the end;
'But there is no prayer, no atonement, no drink that can banish the shade
'From your side, if you've one spark of manhood, of a dead girl that you have betrayed.'
A girl as God made her, and wise in a faith that was never estranged—
From childhood neglected and wronged, she had grown with her nature unchanged;
And she came as an angel of Hope as I crouched on Eternity's brink,
And the loaded revolver and rope were parts of the horrors of drink.
I was not to be trusted, they said, within sight of a cheque or a horse,
And the worst that was said of my name all the gossips were glad to endorse.
But she loved me—she loved me! And why? Ask the she-oaks that sighed in the bends—
We had suffered alike, she and I, from the blindness of kinsfolk and friends.
A girlhood of hardship and care, for she gave the great heart of a child
To a brother whose idol was Self, and a brother good-natured but 'wild;'—
And a father who left her behind when he'd suffered too much from the moan
Of a mother grown selfish and blind in her trouble—'twas always her own.
She was brave, and she never complained, for the hardships of youth that had driven
My soul to the brink of perdition, but strengthened the girl's faith in Heaven.
In the home that her relatives gave she was tortured each hour of her life.
By her cruel dependence—the slave of her aunt, the bank-manager's wife.
Does the world know how easy to lead and how hard to be driven are men?
She was leading me back with her love, to the faith of my childhood again!
To my boyhood's neglected ideal—to the hopes that were strangled at birth,
To the good and the truth of the real—to the good that was left on the earth.
And the sigh of the oaks seemed a hymn, and the waters had music for me
As I sat on the grass at her feet, and rested my head on her knee;
And we seemed in a dreamland apart from the world's discontent and despair,
For the cynic went out of my heart at the touch of her hand on my hair.
'I can work, I will help you,' she said, and she'd plan out our future and home,
But I found no response in my heart save the hungry old craving to roam.
Would I follow the paths of the dead? I was young yet. Would I settle down
To the life that our parents had led by the dull, paltry-spirited town?
For the ghost of the cynic was there, and he waited and triumphed at last—
One night—I'd been drinking, because of a spectre that rose from the past—
My trust had so oft been betrayed: that at last I had turned to distrust—
My sense of injustice so keen that my anger was always unjust.
Would I sacrifice all for a wife, who was free now to put on my hat
And to go far away from the life—from the home life of Specimen Flat?
Would I live as our fathers had lived to the finish? And what was it worth?
A woman's reproach in the end—of all things most unjust on the earth.
The old rebel stirred in my blood, and he whispered, 'What matter?' 'Why not?'
And she trembled and paled, for the kiss that I gave her was reckless and hot.
And the angel that watched o'er her slept, and the oaks sighed aloud in the creek
As we sat in a shadow that crept from a storm-cloud that rose on the Peak.
There's a voice warns the purest and best of their danger in love or in strife,
But that voice is a knell to her honour who loves with the love of her life!
And 'Ruth—Ruth!' I whispered at last in a voice that was not like my own—
She trembled and clung to me fast with a sigh that was almost a moan.
While you listen and doubt, and incline to the devil that plucks at your sleeve—
When the whispers of angels have failed—then Heaven speaks once I believe.
The lightning leapt out—in a flash only seen by those ridges and creeks,
And the darkness shut down with a crash that I thought would have riven the peaks.
By the path through the saplings we ran, as the great drops came pattering down,
To the first of the low-lying ridges that lay between us and the town;
Where she suddenly drew me aside with that beautiful instinct of love
As the clatter of hoofs reached our ears—and a horseman loomed darkly above.
'Twas the Doctor: he reined up and sat for the first moment pallid and mute,
Then he lifted his hand to his hat with his old-fashioned martial salute,
And he said with a glance at the ridge, looming black with its pine-tops awhirl,
'Take my coat, you are caught in the storm!' and he whispered, 'Be true to the girl!'
And I wrapped the coat round her, and held her so close that I felt her heart thump
When the lightning leapt out, as we crouched in the lee of the shell of a stump—
And there seemed a strange fear in her eyes and the colour had gone from her cheek—
And she scarcely had uttered a word since the hot brutal kiss by the creek.
The storm rushed away to the west—to the ridges drought-stricken and dry—
To the eastward loomed far-away peaks 'neath the still starry arch of the sky;
By the light of the full moon that swung from a curtain of cloud like a lamp,
I saw that my tent had gone down in the storm, as we passed by the camp.
'Tis a small thing, or chance, such as this, that decides between hero and cur
In one's heart. I was wet to the skin, and my comfort was precious to her.
And her aunt was away in the city—the dining-room fire was alight,
And the uncle was absent—he drank with some friends at the Royal that night.
He came late, and passed to his room without glancing at her or at me—
Too straight and precise, be it said, for a man who was sober to be.
Then the drop of one boot on the floor (there was no wife to witness his guilt),
And a moment thereafter a snore that proclaimed that he slept on the quilt.
Was it vanity, love, or revolt? Was it joy that came into my life?
As I sat there with her in my arms, and caressed her and called her 'My wife!'
Ah, the coward! But my heart shall bleed, though I live on for fifty long years,
For she could not cry out, only plead with eyes that were brimming with tears.
Not the passion so much brings remorse, but the thought of the treacherous part
I'd have played in a future already planned out—ay! endorsed in my heart!
When a good woman falls for the sake of a love that has blinded her eyes,
There is pardon, perhaps, for his lust; but what heaven could pardon the lies?
And 'What does it matter?' I said. 'You are mine, I am yours—and for life.
'He is drunk and asleep—he won't hear, and to morrow you shall be my wife!'
There's an hour in the memory of most that we hate ever after and loathe—
'Twas the daylight that came like a ghost to her window that startled us both.
He faced me, revolver in hand—'Now I know you, you treacherous whelp!
'Stand still, where you are, or I'll fire!' and he suddenly shouted for help.
'Help! Burglary!' Yell after yell—such a voice would have wakened the tomb;
And I heard her scream once, and she fell like a log on the floor of her room!
And I thought of her then like a flash—of the foul fiend of gossip that drags
A soul to perdition—I thought of the treacherous tongues of the hags;
She would sacrifice all for my sake—she would tell the whole township the truth.
I'd escape, send the Doctor a message and die—ere they took me—for Ruth!
Then I rushed him—a struggle—a flash—I was down with a shot in my arm—
Up again, and a desperate fight—hurried footsteps and cries of alarm!
A mad struggle, a blow on the head—and the gossips will fill in the blank
With the tale of the capture of Drew on the night he broke into the bank.
In the cell at the lock-up all day and all night, without pause through my brain
Whirled the scenes of my life to the last one—and over and over again
I paced the small cell, till exhaustion brought sleep—and I woke to the past
Like a man metamorphosed—clear-headed, and strong in a purpose at last.
She would sacrifice all for my sake—she would tell the whole township the truth—
In the mood I was in I'd have given my life for a moment with Ruth;
But still, as I thought, from without came the voice of the constable's wife;
'They say it's brain fever, poor girl, and the doctor despairs of her life.'
'He has frightened the poor girl to death—such a pity—so pretty and young,'
So the voice of a gossip chimed in: 'And the wretch! he deserves to be hung.
'They were always a bad lot, the Drews, and I knowed he was more rogue than crank,
'And he only pretended to court her so's to know his way into the bank!'
Came the doctor at last with his voice hard and cold and a face like a stone—
Hands behind, but it mattered not then—'twas a fight I must fight out alone:
'You have cause to be thankful,' he said, as though speaking a line from the past—
'She was conscious an hour; she is dead, and she called for you, Drew, till the last!
'Ay! And I knew the truth, but I lied. She fought for the truth, but I lied;
'And I said you were well and were coming, and, listening and waiting, she died.
'God forgive you! I warned you in time. You will suffer while reason endures:
'For the rest, you will know only I have the key of her story—and yours.'
I realised then, and stood straight—would I shrink from the eyes of the clown—
From the eyes of the sawney who'd boast of success with a girl of the town?
But there is human feeling in men which is easy, or hard, to define:
Every eye, as I glanced round the court, was cast down, or averted from mine.
Save the doctor's—it seemed to me then as if he and I stood there alone—
For a moment he looked in my eyes with a wonderful smile in his own,
Slowly lifted his hand in salute, turned and walked from the court-room, and then
From the rear of the crowd came the whisper: 'The Doctor's been boozing again!'
I could laugh at it then from the depth of the bitterness still in my heart,
At the ignorant stare of surprise, at the constables' 'Arder in Car-rt!'
But I know. Oh, I understand now how the poor tortured heart cries aloud
For a flame from High Heaven to wither the grin on the face of a crowd.
Then the Judge spoke harshly; I stood with my fluttering senses awhirl:
My crime, he said sternly, had cost the young life of an innocent girl;
I'd brought sorrow and death to a home, I was worse than a murderer now;
And the sentence he passed on me there was the worst that the law would allow.
There's a breeze! And a light without bars! Let me drink the free air till I drown.
'Tis the she-oaks—the Peak—and the stars. Lo, a dead angel's spirit floats down!
This will pass—aye, and all things will pass. Oh, my love, have you come back to me?
I am tired—let me lie on the grass at your feet, with my head on your knee.
'I was wrong'—the words lull me to sleep, like the words of a lullaby song—
I was wrong—but the iron went deep in my heart ere I knew I was wrong.
I rebelled, but I suffered in youth, and I suffer too deeply to live:
You'll forgive me, and pray for me, Ruth—for you loved me—and God will forgive.

We find Talli in her room, thinking about what just happened: Good Lord, she had turned into a shameless hussy! Because all women who act upon their sexuality are shameless hussies, you know. Because only men have sexual needs.
To be loved by a man like Derek Cameron every night of her life, to share his bed and home, to await his return at the end of the day. With a snort, she shook her head. Her thoughts were definitely taking a twisted turn. Somewhere along the way she had taken a side trip down fantasy lane.
I would see the twisted turn differently… Obviously, being loved by a man like Derek means that you turn into a housewife who does nothing all day except wait for the return of her man. Ugh. Not even in the fifties it was that bad…
But it doesn't matter anyway because Derek had been hurt so badly in the past that nothing short of a miracle would bring Derek to her bed for anything more than contractual conception reasons.
Contractual conception reasons. Wonderfully said.
Derek thinks about everything, too. He's confused about experiencing feelings for Talli. He even took her panties with him. (What is it with guys collecting panties? What's the thrill?) But, he decides, every feeling for her has to be shoved to the back of his head and stay there. And we all know how well that works.
Anyway, the next day (or some time later, who knows), Derek is in his office and Margaret brings him some twenty books he ordered about pregnancy (one of them being the manual Blodgett's Book of Conception, by Doctor Emmanual H. Blodgett, which I find great – Emmanual, not Emmanuel who writes a manual, not a manuel). He spends the afternoon reading in his office (doesn't he run a company? Why does he have time for this?).
A month after THE SEX (the first and last because of Derek's busy schedule), Talli sits at home and is nervous because of her 10 year High School reunion. Wait, 10 years? Derek says he's ten years older than her and he says that he's thirty, which makes Talli twenty. If Talli has her 10 year reunion, she has to be 28. That would make Derek 38. Which again points us to the question how they were ever in High School together. Dammit, I hate it when writers don't think.
However, Talli introduces us to her two best friends from High School, K.C. and Emma, who are obviously such good friends that Talli hasn't even bothered to talk with them about the whole "getting paid to get pregnant" thing or mention them to us before.
Talli thinks about bringing a date but can't think of anyone but Derek to ask. And she doesn't want to bring Derek because (h)ow would she have introduced him to her friends? "This is my boss, Derek Cameron. We're having a child together, then I'm leaving." Because that should always be the deciding factor when you think about going to a date – how to introduce him to a friend. And btw. how about "That's Derek. We're not sure about our age difference, but we were in High School together."
The night of the reunion, Talli is achy all over and doesn't want to go. Maimie basically pushes her there, all the while wondering, as we do, "Achy all over, hmmm. I wonder?".
Josph drives Talli to the reunion. In the meantime, Maimie lets Derek know about the reunion and although he is so busy that he didn't have time to talk to Talli for a whole month (because he was reading pregnancy books in his working hours), Derek drops everything so Talli doesn't have to be alone that evening.
Maimie cackled out a loud laugh, her ample bosom shaking with her merriment.
I think that is the worst sentence in the whole book. At least so far.
Well, Talli is at the reunion and meets Emma with her husband Jason in tow and K.C.
Talli linked one arm through K.C.'s and the other through Emma's and looked at her friends. A blonde, a brunette and a redhead. The "Three Moussettes" as they were termed their senior year of high school.
Why Moussettes? I don't get it. If somebody else does, please let me know.
Although Derek heard about the reunion when Talli already left (and Joseph already was back), he manages to arrive there before Talli's friends can ask her if she has a date.
After short introductions, the inevitable gossiper comes along. Does every class have one of those women who play nice to get the information they want from you and then talk about you all the time? I feel cheated now, because my class didn't have one.
"Wonderful," Emma groaned. "It's Gloria Van Whos-That-With-You coming. Quick, everybody hide."
"Darlings, it's so wonderful to see you all here tonight." Gloria kissed the air perfunctorily next to the three girls cheeks, then stepped back and smiled. "And who are these dashing gentlemen you're with this evening?"
"Gloria, this is my husband Jason Thorne," Emma managed politely, eager to be rid of the boorish woman. [It really is very boorish to want to get introduced… How can she!]
"Jason Thorne, oh of course, you're one of the workmen at that new radio station here in town."
"Not exactly ma'am [ma'am? Is she sixty years old?], I own it," Jason acknowledged politely, but by then Gloria was staring openly in Derek's direction.
"Well Derek Cameron, as I live and breathe. What are you doing here tonight? Slumming it?" A fake smile pasted itself to Gloria's mouth. [I don't think such a cliché of a woman would say 'Slumming it' about a thing she attends herself. Stay in character, would you?]
"Gloria, nice to see you again. I'm here with Talli. I'm sure you remember Talli Paxton?"
"Of course, we were best friends in school, did everything together, didn't we Talli?"
"Not that I can recall, Gloria. Must have slipped my memory." Talli smiled blandly, trying to quell her stomach as it lurched in rebellion at the cloying aroma of Gloria's perfume.
Derek cleared his throat. "Tell me Gloria, how's Charlie doing these days? I hear from my associates at the Internal Revenue Service that he still hasn't been able to clear up that mess with the missing funds. I hope it won't affect your lifestyle if they're able to make the embezzling charges stick?"
What an asshole! I'm sorry but you really can't impress me with random insults. Just because you don't like a person, doesn't mean that you can treat them without any respect whatsoever.
But of course, that is not my world, so Derek gets his laugh and his applause and everybody thinks him great. Jason even buys him a drink for that and while both of them are away, K.C. and Emma ask Talli what the deal with Derek is: "He's my employer. I take care of his dogs," Talli mumbled, not quite sure of what to tell her friends. How about the truth? I usually tell my best friends that and it is really good for our relationship.
Oh, another hint in the age puzzle: Emma says that Derek graduated three years before them.
After dinner, Talli and Derek dance and both don't notice how the music stops. Isn't it romantic? Obviously, Talli gets the same reaction I do from clichés used until they're traumatising, and runs to the bathroom to throw up.
Emma follows her and like every woman who ever watched a movie where a pregnant woman was featured, she knows the signs – there's no pregnancy without morning sickness (which obviously can be evening sickness as well) or aching. Also, strong perfumes are repulsive and induce the sickness (see the scene with Gloria), something which Emma obviously noticed because she tells Talli how all these signs together can only mean one thing: Talli is pregnant.
In the meantime, Derek, who has obviously never seen a movie about a pregnant woman, drummed his fingers aimlessly on the table. [Do you drum your fingers aimfully on the table when you're nervous?]
Talli wants to drive home. They say good-bye to everyone and Derek has decided on some business deal with Jason and tells him to call.
"Don't forget to call me. I think we can work something out that'll be very beneficial for both of us."
In the car Talli tells Derek that she thinks she's pregnant. He will organise the doctor's appointment for her, although he can't come with her.
The next morning, Derek sits in his office and waits for Talli to tell him if she really is pregnant. Of course, she is and Derek is very excited. The baby is due for January 15th. Talli drives home again to get some rest.
Derek swept Talli up into his strong, sinewy arms, one hand curling tightly around her waist as the other buried itself deep in her long tresses. He bent to brush his lips gently to hers. Then he lingered, placing tingling hot wet kisses on her moist skin. His fingers slowly lowered her zipper as his hand grazed her bare skin. Deftly, he pushed the dress off her shoulders to fall noiselessly to the floor, his mouth moving slowly down her neck. [Again, this weird grammatic construct…]
She nearly swooned from the ecstasy [that never happens to me… maybe I'm doing something wrong?], as the intensity of their passion mounted. Drawing nearer, she pressed closer, then closer still, eager to feel his lips on her bare flesh.
Suddenly, she felt herself falling – falling through the air to land heavily on her backside on the carpeted bedroom floor.
Summer comes and Talli and Derek go to an ultrasound examination. It's actually pretty well explained what's going on. Kudos to AB! There's the "you have to drink a lot of water" part and the explanation by the technician. I'm impressed.
So, Talli and Derek are going to have a baby boy. Of course, Talli would have liked a girl and Derek a boy, because it can never be different, ever.
Talli lets Derek feel the baby kicking.
His hand lingered on the telltale bulge protruding from Talli's stomach. "My son," Derek whispered in awe, his warm breath fanning her face.
Talli closed her eyes, swallowed hard and bit back her tears. Our son, she thought sadly.Honey, you knew what you were getting into when you signed the contract. No point in crying now.

It's not exactly the Sweet 16 that the UC Davis women's basketball team had hoped to reach, but the Aggies are still in the midst of their deepest postseason run in 20 years.
With Sunday's 58-57 victory at Colorado State, the Aggies advanced to the third round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament for the first time. They will travel to Pullman, Wash., on Thursday to play Washington State (14-19) at 7 p.m.
"There's been so much excitement about basketball in Davis," said UCD coach Jennifer Gross. "Obviously, the men did a great job to get people excited to really follow March Madness. People were kind of riding the wave of their tournament."
After a dominant regular season (25-7, 14-2 conference), UCD fell to UC Santa Barbara in the Big West tournament semifinals in Anaheim. But by winning the regular-season title, UCD earned an automatic berth into the WNIT if it failed to reach the NCAA Women's Tournament.

"Obviously, we were disappointed," Gross said of the conference tournament. "It took a few days to get over that, but I think once we hit the road for Utah, we saw just a different energy from our group."
UCD defeated Utah 72-62 in Salt Lake City last Friday in a tournament opener. Instead of using a seeding system, host teams for all games are determined by the WNIT committee.
The Aggies need three more wins for a berth in the WNIT championship game April 1. UCD's three previous WNIT appearances – 2008, 2010 and 2012 – ended in the first round.
As excited as UCD is for the chance to play for a title, extending a season into March can take a mental and physical toll.
"At this point, I would say we're running on fumes a little bit," said Gross, whose team opened the season on Oct. 29. "We're in finals week, so not only have we been on the road all week playing at altitude, but the kids, every spare second, they've been studying for finals."
With only one senior, it could be easy for Gross to look ahead to high expectations for next season.
But there is still at least one game and more fun to be had this season.
"What I love about this group is that we're still having fun," Gross said. "We're on the bus, we're at hotels, we're at restaurants and we're still having a great time."

I love Truffled Dwarf Peaches with everything but mostly I love them on their own.
Here is how I had them on Sunday night after dinner: as a side dish with our cheeses. "Miss Diva" appeared elegantly in whole and sliced on top of Gorgonzola. I can tell you that at that moment, I was as happy as Gorgonzola was! (more…)
One of our all time favorite dishes is "Vitello Tonnato" (cold veal with tuna sauce). For the ones that have never tasted it before, this dish might not sound too appealing. Trust me though, the tuna sauce is so mild in taste and silky in texture, that it feels like applying whipped cream on top of strawberries!
This dish "Vitello Tonnato" is traditionally garnished with caper berries, Paolo changed the recipe around a bit and used Truffled Dwarf Peaches as a garnish instead and it was right up my alley =) (more…)
From the day that the dwarf peaches are jarred they have a two year "best before" date. There is no need to refrigerate the jar before its opened. Store it in a room or cupboard away from sunlight and higher heat than room temperature. Before opening the jar I would suggest to keep it in the refrigerator for a bit, that way, the peaches will be nice and cold before serving, it gives them more crunch.
The beautiful thing with this "peach" is that it can litteraly be used with everything! I have used it on almost everything that I prepare: as a side dish, on cold cuts and carpaccio, as a garnish, and it never lets me down. The versatility of this product is endless and it's just a matter of getting creative by coming up with new ways of preparation. You can slice it, cube it, cut it in halves, and I have even tried shredding it with great success. Don't forget that just eating them whole on their own with a "stiff" drink works wonders! The other day, I even mixed in some hot chili peppers the and it came out delicious!
I mean what more is there to say, besides from:
"Every man want's her and every woman want's to be like her" the irresistible and fabulous Truffled Dwarf Peach!
The new "Diva" is in town and she is here to stay and rock every plate and party!
Have you ever heard of "Truffled Dwarf Peaches"?
Neither had I, until five years ago when I met with the person that is now supplying Macchi Inc. with this unique and one of a kind product.
All these years that I've been in this business, I have never come across them anywhere else.
This product is based on the same idea as green tomatoes and any other vegetable that is normally pickled.
In the fall, before winter arrives the farmers pick the unripe peaches, so they would not go to waste. Then, they pickle them in vinegar to conserve the peaches and consume them like any other pickle.
Our supplier that is based in Frosolone, Molise in Italy, added his twist to the product by soaking these peaches in sunflower oil and infusing the oil with truffle essence. This last step has created a very different flavor profile.
What does this "gem" taste and look like?
…like something you've never tasted before!
Very subtle in its taste, just enough truffle essence to know that this is a truffled product, but not to over power the dish that you are using it on and it adds a pleasant crunch and acidity to any salad or carpaccio.
They look like large green olives but since they are picked before maturity, the pit is not yet developed which makes them a breeze to work with in comparison to olives and since they are so firm in texture it makes them so versatile in presentaton in comparison to caper berries.
Right now we don't have any stores selling this product to the public since there is not enough knowledge about it out there to create a demand. We are in the process of planning a marketing campaign to launch this product in Montreal and to help our retail clients inform the end consumers about Truffled Dwarf Peaches.
Presently you can have this "Diva" present herself on some of the creations served at Restaurant Toqué!, Restaurant BIS, Restaurant PARK as well as many more restaurants in Montreal.
Go and meet her, and make sure you all let me know how you got along.

From 46 to 36
June 17, 2010
One of the things you don't tend to think about when you lose a lot of weight is your clothes, at least starting out. The first thing you notice is that sweatpants and other elastic waste band type clothes start to get a bit loose. Then you need to start wearing belts all the time and then you start having to make new holes in the belts because you just can't get it tight enough anymore. Your shirts fit fine at first, but soon you start to look like you are wearing a dress or drapes and the neck holes start to creep towards your shoulders.
My biggest clothing revelation came this past weekend when I went to buy some new shorts. All of my shorts and pants are at least 44 inches in the waist, with most being 46, and a few pairs that are 48 inches. The 48s are from the time when I was at my fattest and couldn't fit into the 46s. All of my clothes are just getting too big, so I took a trip to Old Navy this past weekend to find some cheap clothes to wear.
I started out by trying on some 38 inch shorts and an XL t-shirt. These fit pretty well and I almost made my way to to cash register, but then I decided I'd try a 36 inch waist and a large shirt just to see how it would go. To my amazement, the 36 inch shorts fit perfectly and even though the t-shirt was a bit tight, I decided to go ahead and get it (and several others). I can wear the shirts now, but I figure their tightness will be a little incentive to take off even more weight.
As I was putting my pants back on in the dressing room, I realized that they were 46s, my standard size for the past 10 years. And my new shorts were 36s. That's 10 inches of difference! I'm pretty amazed every time I think about it.
In other news, I'm still running. I've started taking a running class through my local Fleet Feet store called Summer Speed Sessions. We are learning how to work out on a track and how to improve our speed for short distance races. Our first week we learned how to warm up and then run a time trial mile. I did mine at a 9:16 pace. Over the course of the summer we will do various interval training workouts based on that pace, either slightly higher, or slightly lower. After our training session this week, I was pretty much tapped out, but it felt good to get out there and give it my all. Training continues through August.
Also, my next big race is Saturday morning. It's the RC Cola and Moon Pie Festival 10 miler in Bell Buckle, TN. My official goal time is 1:52:00, but with the heat (oppressive) and terrain (hilly), I'll be happy with anything under 2 hours. Come on out and cheer me on or race if you dare!

Perham Buzz knocked off by EGF
The Perham Buzz American Legion Baseball team was hoping to build on its momentum from winning the KLN Classic when they hosted East Grand Forks for a pair of district games on June 25 at Krueger Field.
However, it was East Grand Forks that gained some momentum as they swept the doubleheader 8-2 and 6-5.
In game one, East Grand Forks broke open a 2-2 tie with a six-run seventh inning. It spoiled a strong start from Noah Rooney, who battled through six innings. Rooney allowed two runs on five hits, he struck out 10, walked one and hit one. However, he did not factor in the decision.
Nick Lindberg took the loss. He allowed five runs on three hits, one strike out, a walk and a hit batter in a third of an inning.
Ryan Kalina and Josh Jeziorski drove in the lone Perham runs. Kalina drove one in with a ground out in the fourth, while Jeziorski delivered an RBI single in the sixth. Maddux Kovash and Carter Mulcahy had hits in the game for Perham as well.
It was too little, too late for the Buzz in game two. The Buzz fell behind 6-0 before rallying for five runs in the fifth and sixth innings before stranding the tying run at third in the seventh.
Maddux Kovash had two runs batted in, while Mulcahy and Rooney brought home runs as well.
Roo Schmitz scored two times and had one of the team's five hits.
Perham falls to 7-3 overall and returns to the diamond with a doubleheader against Detroit Lakes on June 28 at 5 and 7 p.m.

From James:
On Saturday morning, So Young reported that she saw a "clear spot" in one of her eyes, a possible sign that the tumor is retreating. We promptly watched a movie at the theater that afternoon, while her brother Paul watched the girls. Yesterday, however, it returned to the way it was before. She compares it to "looking through fogged up glasses" all the time. Still, we expect the next few months to be a time of constant change with regard to her condition, as her body fights to regain ground.
Yesterday, So Young took her first run/walk outside since her vision loss became severe months ago. Actually, it was more of a "run/walk/trip," as she says. I acted as her guide, a new role for me. Many times during races, we have seen blind runners — often young war veterans — running tethered to a sighted runner. They don't generally hold hands, but that was our method. Before a curb, crack, or hole in the road, I would grab her hand and say "3-2-1 crack!" or what have you. She could sometimes see the obstacles and sometimes not. Once she told me that she could see most of the cracks. I stopped calling them out, and she promptly tripped. She didn't hit the ground, and that was her only stumble in three miles.
We ran at twilight. I could see OK, but things are darker to her eyes.
"Most people wouldn't run if they knew how dark it is for me," she said. "But I'm stubborn. Full of pride."
I told her that's not pride. That's perseverance.

Thirty-nine per cent of C-suite executives in Canada actually think they will be the target of a cyber attack
Insurance companies are generally more vulnerable to malicious e-mails than banks, while a slight majority of computer security staff members surveyed do not fully disclose information technology vulnerabilities even to executives at their own firms, an IT security expert suggested Wednesday.
Kevvie Fowler, partner, advisory services at KPMG Canada, said in a presentation that insurance companies face different threats than banks, even though both industries provide financial services.
"In insurance, over 4% of email that you receive … contain malicious links," he said, citing research conducted by security software vendor Proofpoint Inc.
"In contrast, if you look at technology companies, it is just over 1%. There is actually a greater number of threats that you are faced with in your inbox in contrast to people just like yourselves in other industries."
Fowler, who has worked in cyber security for 17 years, made his comments during a luncheon presentation held by the Property Casualty Underwriters Club.
He added banks do "a better job of filtering these threats upstream, so they aren't making it to the end users' mailbox."
Cyber attacks, he said, can be grouped to four categories of "bad actors." The broad categories are petty criminals, "hacktivists" or terrorists, organized criminals and state-sponsored attackers.
"Bad guys know banks spend a lot of money on security," he said. "They will focus on an industry that hasn't made those security investments."

Economics - Windows 8 Launch to Create New Jobs!
Windows 8 launched on Thursday Oct 25, 2012 in New York City and the sales begun at 12:01 PM local time across the globe. Micrsoft Surface had a warm welcome across the consumers in the world. It might be too early to predict the future of Surface Tablets. But one thing is sure that Apple will start slowing down in the coming quarters since it has got a very strong competitor now and its time of monopoly is over.
Microsoft sold about 670 million Licenses of Windows 7. Now with the launch of Windows 8 which is designed to run on PCs, Tablets, Laptops, Ultrabooks and phones, it gives an excellent opportunity in the apps market. Since currently android apps and iphone apps market is getting saturated, now the focus turns on to windows 8 apps market. The number of apps developed on Windows 8 is very less compared to Andoid and iOS.
To attract the consumer markets, many enthusiastic business people and developer now started focusing on Apps market. Who enters into App Market in the beginning would the winner. Because once consumer gets used to one app, then they might reluctant to switch to another app until otherwise they are really worth swithing it.
There might be new openings might show up across the world for Windows 8 App Programmers for Surface Tablets. Thanks to Microsoft and Windows Eco System for giving an excellent opportunity to the consumers, developers and enterprise.

I was given a 16 page emergency response plan to work from. It stated that our first obligation was to family and then to friends and neighbors. After that, we were to assist ward and stake members. It suggested we have a plan in place before an emergency actually occurred. The following was the chain of command for the first hours after a disaster. Within 24 hours a follow up would be done by home and visiting teachers. They would give a more detailed report to the bishop and stake president. The emergency director was to be the presiding priesthood authority and the following was the Read the rest of this entry »

Forget 'Great Grand Masti': Here are better sex comedies you can watch instead
Welcome to the world of double entendres.
India's premier sex comedy series, Great Grand Masti, comes out on 15th July 2016, after the first two movies, Masti and Grand Masti opened to good collections at the box office. But apart from a gazillion sexual puns and comical tropes bordering on the vulgar, the Masti series is famously known for being regressive, and for its objectification of women (although which Indian film that calls itself a sexy comedy isn't?)
In the tradition of Bollywood's sex comedies, (look at Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 and Mastizaade) no one is going to hold the screenwriter accountable for forgetting to give a story-line to the film. It's disheartening because nobody seems to have told the makers of these films that you can make a funny movie around sexual escapades without offending half a country.
So instead of wasting your time going to the cinema and watching Great Grand Masti, here are a few sex comedies that actually have interesting plot lines to go with them:
Superbad (2007)
Seth (Jonnah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are best friends who are going through the last week of high school. They have always been shunned by the popular kids but they luck out when they receive an invite to a popular kids party.
They plan to illegally acquire alcohol and hopefully meet some girls to kick-start their sex lives, so they can go off to college with their newly acquired skills. Trouble ensues when their nerdy friends gets embroiled in a tiff with two cops. Written by Seth Rogen and Even Goldberg, this sex-comedy is a great coming of age story too.
4o Year Old Virgin (2005)
40 year old Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) is an amiable single guy who lives alone and spends his free time playing video games and curating his action-figure collection. Despite his age, Andy has never had sex, so his friend David (Paul Rudd), push Andy towards losing his virginity. While attempting to get over his awkwardness around female customers, Andy meets local shop owner Trish (Catherine Keener), and they begin a tentative romance.
Van Wilder (The whole series) (2002-2009)
If you want to look at Ryan Reynold films before Deadpool came out, look no further. Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) is an extremely popular and charismatic student at his college who has been in school for eight years. For the past seven semesters he has made no effort to graduate, instead spending his time organising parties and doing charity.Trouble ensues when Van's father (Tim Matheson) decides it is time to cut his losses and stops paying Van's tuition.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)
Lifelong friends and roommates Zack and Miri Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are facing hard times and a mountain of debt. When their electricity gets cut off they realise they need a way to make quick money and seize the idea of making a homegrown porn movie for some fast cash. Though the two vow that having sex will not ruin their platonic friendship, they fall in love.
EuroTrip (2004)
Scott (Scott Mechlowicz), gets dumped by his girlfriend just after graduation. He turns to his online pen pal Mieke from Germany in order to get a passing grade in his high school German class. When he finds out Mieke is actually a blonde girl (Jessica Böhrs) instead of a guy, he travels to meet her with his pals Cooper (Jacob Pitts), Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg), and Jamie (Travis Wester). The group of teens head to Berlin by way of London, Paris, and Amsterdam.
This iconic movie is one of the most famous teenage comedies out there. Watch it to see how Michelle Trachtenberg started out and if you are looking for a fun light 2 hour comedy.

With Halloween quickly approaching, Chief Frederick Ryan and the Arlington Police Department have some tips to help keep community members safe and alert during trick-or-treat this year.
"We want everyone to have a safe and happy Halloween by celebrating responsibly, especially those who are out walking around neighborhoods at night," Ryan said. "Arlington Police will be out on patrol, but we also ask parents, guardians, children and homeowners to review several key safety tips."
Oct. 31 falls on a Tuesday this year and Arlington Police will work to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. Residents are asked to review several important safety tips:
Children should:
Only approach well-lit houses and always travel in small groups.
Bring treats home before eating them so parents can inspect them.
Wear clothing that is bright, reflective and flame retardant.
Use flashlights for guidance on sidewalks, walkways and when crossing the street.
Make sure masks have eye-holes large enough to see any tripping hazards or oncoming traffic, and mouth openings large enough to breathe easily.
Practice safe street-crossing by using crosswalks and walk signals.
Walk and don't run from house to house.
Wear sturdy shoes and temperature appropriate clothing under costumes.
Never accept rides from strangers.
Parents and guardians should:
Supervise young children at all times.
Establish a designated curfew for older children.
Make sure children are wearing safe costumes that fit well and don't drag on the ground.
Apply reflective tape to your child's arms, legs and treat bags.
Assure costume accessories such as swords and other pointed objects are made with soft and safe materials.
If driving children between houses and neighborhoods, have them get out of cars on the curbside, not on the traffic side.
Homeowners should:
Keep inside and outside lights on during trick-or-treat hours.
Avoid placing lit candles and jack-o-lanterns on doorsteps and walkways where costumes could brush against them and cause burns or fire.
Only hand out candy that is packaged and wrapped.
Avoid handing out small toys that could cause choking or injury to small children.
Halloween drivers should:
Be aware that there are many young children out for the evening, especially during the peak hours. Please drive slowly!
Be aware that young trick-or-treaters may dart out from between parked cars.
Obey all traffic signals and signs.
Additionally, any suspicious activities should immediately be reported to the Arlington Police Department at 781-643-1212 or by dialing 911.

Well Congressman Newhouse R, Washington State 4th Congressional District has finally contacted me. Well not him personally but his Veterans Issues staffer who is a veteran himself. I informed him of my intention to gather as many legislators as possible to get legislation to reform the VA.
I am hoping that my twitter bot that has been posting every 4 hours got their attention. While this doesn't guarantee a face to face meeting it is a start. Persistence is the key to gaining progress in the effort to reform the VA.
Now more than ever we need to speak up. Share this with your veteran friends encourage them to take the survey. The more that take it the more meaningful it will be. It is time that our voices are heard.

Younger women who regularly eat red meat appear to face an increased risk for a common form of breast cancer, according to a large, well-known Harvard study of women's health.
The study of more than 90,000 women found that the more red meat the women consumed in their 20s, 30s and 40s, the greater their risk for developing breast cancer fueled by hormones in the next 12 years. Those who consumed the most red meat had nearly twice the risk of those who ate red meat infrequently.
The study, published yesterday in the Archives of Internal Medicine, is the first to examine the relationship between consumption of red meat and breast cancer in premenopausal women, and the first to examine the question by type of breast cancer.
Although more research is needed to confirm the association and explore the possible reasons for it, researchers said the findings provide another motivation to limit consumption of red meat, which is already known to increase the risk of colon cancer.
"There are already other reasons to minimize red meat intake," said Eunyoung Cho, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, who led the study. "This just may give women another good reason."
Cho added that the findings could be particularly important because the type of breast cancer the study associated with red meat consumption has been increasing. Eating less red meat may help counter that trend.
Other researchers said the findings could offer women one of the few things they can do to reduce their risk for the widely feared malignancy. Breast cancer strikes nearly 213,000 U.S. women each year and kills nearly 41,000, making it the most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death among women.
"So many risk factors for breast cancer are things that you can't alter," said Nancy E. Davidson, a breast cancer expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. "This represents something women could take charge of -- something you can change to affect your risk."
Why red meat might increase the risk for breast cancer remains unknown, but previous research has suggested several possible reasons: Substances produced by cooking meat may be carcinogenic, naturally occurring substances in meat may mimic the action of hormones, or growth hormones that farmers feed cows could fuel breast cancer in women who consume meat from the animals.
Researchers have long wondered whether there might be a link between red meat consumption and breast cancer risk, but few studies have addressed the question. Those that have, including one large analysis that pooled data from eight studies, did not find any association. But the earlier studies focused on older women and did not differentiate between types of breast cancer.
In the new study, Cho and her colleagues analyzed data collected from 90,659 female nurses ages 26 to 46 who are participating in the Nurses' Health Study II, a long-term project examining a host of women's health issues. As part of the study, participants provided detailed information about their diets every four years.
When the researchers analyzed the data from 1991 to 2003, they found no overall link between red meat consumption and an increased risk of breast cancer. But when they examined the data from only the 512 women who developed the type of breast cancer whose growth is fueled by the hormones estrogen and progesterone, they found an association.
The risk increased with the amount of red meat consumed, with those who ate more than 1 1/2 servings a day of beef, lamb or pork having nearly double the risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer compared with those who ate three or fewer servings per week. A serving is roughly equivalent to a single hamburger or hot dog.
"That's a pretty strong association," said Cho, who is also an associate professor of epidemiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Other researchers praised the study for being well conducted but said more research is needed to confirm and explore the findings.
"The study is well done, and I'm sure it will create some interest to try to replicate the findings," said Eugenia Calle of the American Cancer Society. "But until that happens, we can't draw conclusions about whether this is a true association or something that's just been observed in a single study."
Other experts agreed but noted that the findings are consistent with a growing body of evidence that indicates that diet early in life can affect a person's health risks later on.
"This suggests that lifestyle, in this case diet, in early adulthood is important in potentially explaining your risk for premenopausal breast cancer," said Carolina Hinestrosa of the National Breast Cancer Coalition.
While it may be premature to make formal dietary recommendations based on the findings, the Nurses' Health Study II is so well respected that women should take this new analysis into consideration, she said.
But noting that earlier studies reached the opposite conclusion, Randall D. Huffman, vice president for scientific affairs at the American Meat Institute, said that research into "diet and health is known for its fluid and often contradictory conclusions. This study is a perfect example of that."
"The wisest course of action in the wake of one more contradictory study is to consume the balanced diet recommended by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines," he said.

Universe is yelling at me
That awkward moment when the universe starts yelling at you to make a change. You can deny it as long as you want to but the universe will always get it's way. You meet people at the certain times for certain reasons.
The universe is trying to help me help myself.. and I am going to give in and listen. I will welcome in the happiness and changes that are coming forth shortly. Thank you for yelling at me Universe, sometimes I am hard of hearing.

We bought Chacos. These are the footwear of serious adventurateering. These enigmatic sandals were designed with one purpose in mind - to elicit the response "Are those Chacos?" from everyone you meet.
We should start at the beginning... we're Ryan and Emily (see pic if you're confused) and we're in the starting gates and the gun is about to go off. We wanted to start a blog to at least remember these times as they fly by, and to share them with family, friends, and randos (a rando is someone who doesn't fall into one of the first two categories).
In less than a month, we're getting married here in lovely Oregon. Then we'll officially be RyanAndEmily2006 instead of just plain old Ryan and Emily. THEN we hit the road, starting in Guatemala City at the end of August and hopefully gravity, spare change and a few chicken buses will help us meander our way through the entirety of Central America. From there, we may continue through South America (this comes after Central - there's a link to a map if you're having trouble), and then maybe continue along the natural route down to Antarctica since we're headed that direction. Or maybe we'll come home, but that's seems a long ways away when the trip hasn't even begun yet.
Estimated Time Frame: End of August through December
Intended Destinations: All of Central America, Chile and Argentina
Gear List: Chacos, toothbrush
Excitement Level at Time of Posting: nearly unbearable
Readiness State: see Gear List
We'll be posting regularly, though they may be sporadic over the next few weeks as we get married. Then there will be a flood of pictures, then a brief gap for our honeymoon, then we'll post of our travels in earnest.
You can get in touch with us at
while we're on the road, so drop us a line.
Hasta Luego, Amigos!

Home alone and happy / Nothing brings me down
So opens Emiliana Torrinis second album, a soft-yet-searing collection of twelve intimate and atmospheric songs that will whisper their way into your bloodstream. Back in 1999, when the singer released the critically acclaimed Love In The Time Of Science, Emiliana came out with a gorgeous, electronic trippoppin vision of endless summer and moonlit nights out. Following her departure from One Little Indian, theres a new introspection, closer to Nick Drake or Jolie Holland than Portishead or Goldfrapp.
This whole record is about these four years I was away, explains Emiliana Very life-changing times. A lot of things happened. I just couldnt at this stage go back to writing a record like I did before. Indie HQ Rough Trade clearly approved of her new direction: they signed Emiliana immediately after hearing the first demos from Fishermans Woman.
The 27-year-old singer and writer has nonetheless been busy since Love In The Time Of Science. She moved to Brighton, joined the cast of Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers to perform the enchanting Gollum Song wrote and toured with Thievery Corporation, and wrote a Number One Hit for Kylie Minogue in the shape of huge-selling pop smash Slow. It was a very fun thing to do, she says. It was an opportunity to dust off my dancing shoes and write music that I dont normally write but love, and then keep the smokey-little-bar-music to my self. Slow was written and produced with Brixton-based producer Mr Dan, midway through the sessions that became Fishermans Woman. After writing with a number of different artists, Emiliana was introduced to Mr Dan and they clicked immediately. it hadbeen so long since the last album, and I was in two minds of doing it again, she says. I was very nervous about going back, but we had so much fun doing it. It is just one of those collaborations I have been waiting for all my life.
Emiliana decided to go back to basics and write with just a guitar and no electronics or programming. The pair jammed out the songs in Dans dark Brixton basement with Dan on guitar and Emiliana conjuring up the lyrics and melodies. After that they recorded the record in The Exchange in Camden, well one thing I knew very well is that I wanted a very intimate vocal sound, she says. This album was recorded with candles, laughing fits and my duvet. We were sad leaving Brixton. I love it there, she says. It can suck the life out of you and then blow you full again. Depends what mood its in. Brixton is like a huge me me me show.
Intimate. It sounds like it: opening gambit Nothing Brings Me Down gradually builds from sparse beginnings; Dans acoustic guitar, light touches of piano - to a textured, gentle circle. Album highlight Sunny Road sounds as if it could have leaped out of a dusty, lost Leonard Cohen session, while Lifesaver floats along a mysterious, fairy-tale accordion melody, accompanied by the ambient creak of boats on water. Thinking Out Loud whispers of Eastern Europe and the Appalachians before album closer, Serenade multi-tracks the listener into a moonlit dream which references clouds, dark vines, temptations and new tomorrows. Its evocative and heart-felt a handcrafted jewel of a record. Fishermans Woman also includes a song, Honeymoon Child written by smogs Bill Callahan, who Emiliana spent some time writing with in America.
Emiliana Torrini is half Icelandic, half Italian. She grew up in Iceland in a town outside Reykjavik and spent her childhood summers with her grandmother in the far east of Iceland out in the wild, spacious countryside. Her teen summers were spent in Germany with her Italian uncle. She joined a choir aged seven and sang soprano till she was 15, when she went to opera school. I got into other music rather late because we didnt have any records, well except lots of classical, my mums Greatest Love Songs compilation from the TV and Leonard Cohen whom I love. Then we got MTV. We were the first people in our town to have it and I would stay up all night to record from the late night alternative shows, making tapes to take to school to brag about my musical findings.
She recorded a few jazz and blues songs for her fathers 50tth birthday which then became an album that sold 15,000 copies in Iceland and remained at number one for many months. She followed this with an equally successful album of which 50% was co-written by her and hence the beginnings of her writing career. I spent this period singing in restaurants, bars and hotels all over Iceland, and that is how she was discovered by One Little Indian where their MD happened to be eating. Emiliana consequently moved to England where Roland Orzabal from Tears For Fears co-produced her worldwide debut. I wanted to move to India, learn the classical techniques there, then move to Bulgaria, be a gypsy, and learn the techniques, and keep moving and learning new ways of singing - but instead I came to England and made a pop record.
Fishermans Woman is a very different beast. It is themed around loss, and how it feels to lose people; sometimes it's dripping with sadness but more frequently imbued with almost magical optimism. Fishermans Woman is a letter I wrote to a person that I lost at that time. I coped by thinking I was with a fisherman. They can go on sea for months like my friends dad. Her mumsaw him twice a year maybe for a fortnight at a time, she says. It was a little bit like Alice in Wonderland. The falling into a hole, the madness of it all. Despite the sadness, Emiliana remains positive. I could never write a wholly sad album, she says laughing. There are too many moon rivers to see and life to live. Fishermans woman has been a way of making things whole again.
This album is sincerely honest and as endearing as they come. And it's lovely, too.

Google has announced that the latest version of its Panda Update — a filter designed to penalize "thin" or poor content from ranking well — has been released.
Google said in a post on Google+ that a "slow rollout" began earlier this week and will continue into next week, before being complete. Google said that depending on location, about 3%-to-5% of search queries will be affected.
Anything different about this latest release? Google says it's supposed to be more precise and will allow more high-quality small and medium-sized sites to rank better. From the post:
Based on user (and webmaster!) feedback, we've been able to discover a few more signals to help Panda identify low-quality content more precisely. This results in a greater diversity of high-quality small- and medium-sized sites ranking higher, which is nice.
The rollout means anyone who was penalized by Panda in the last update has a chance to emerge, if they made the right changes. So if you were hit by Panda, made alterations to your site, you'll know by the end of next week if those were good enough, if you see an increase in traffic.
The rollout also means that new sites not previously hit by Panda might get impacted. If you've seen a sudden traffic drop from Google this week, or note one in the coming days, then this latest Panda Update is likely to blame.
Why are we calling it Panda 4.1? Well, Google itself called the last one Panda 4.0 and deemed it a major update. This isn't as big of a change, so we're going with Panda 4.1.
We actually prefer to number these updates in the order that they've happened, because trying to determine if something is a "major" or "minor" Panda Update is imprecise and lead to numbering absurdities like having a Panda 3.92 Update.
But since Google called the last one Panda 4.0, we went with that name — and we'll continue on with the old-fashioned numbering system unless it gets absurd again.
For the record, here's the list of confirmed Panda Updates, with some of the major changes called out with their AKA (also known as) names:
The latest update comes four months after the last, which suggests that this might be a new quarterly cycle that we're on. Panda had been updated on a roughly monthly basis during 2012. In 2013, most of the year saw no update at all.
Of course, there could have been unannounced releases of Panda that have happened. The list above is only for those that have been confirmed by Google.
The post Panda 4.1 — Google's 27th Panda Update — Is Rolling Out appeared first on Search Engine Land.

Here's one thing I didn't show you in the video yesterday: all the damage on the office (and guest room!) ceiling caused by a leak in our ancient roof last week.
Apparently the melting snow piled up and worked its way in through an old leaky spot. We ended up crawling into the attic and putting a giant rubbermaid storage bin under the leak to contain it, which basically made it sound like it was raining in the attic for days. Now the snow's gone, and landlady and her roof guys are on it, so everything's fine, just a bit ugly for now.
Maybe I can't paint the walls or change the light fixtures, but nowadays I am so glad we rent.

Clan MacInnes YDNA Database Project
During phase ll we will build our initial database around the male Y- DNA chromosome test. By limiting our tests in this phase to male Y-DNA we will be able to build our database more quickly and at a lower cost to participants. Phase lll will include the female mtDNA analysis.
In the vast majority of cases a father passes an exact copy of his Y-chromosome to his son. The test, known as the Paternal DNA Sequence, is used to find information regarding a direct male line. A direct male line is son to father, to grandfather to great grandfather and so on following the male line.
The test that we are recommending provides a 37 number genetic fingerprint. By comparing this print with others of the same or similar surname it can be determined if they share a common ancestor and in many cases indicate how long ago this common ancestor lived.
YDNA testing can:
DNA testing is the most powerful tool to ever become available to genealogists. For those who are new to DNA testing for family history, it can seem overwhelming and technical. Genetic Genealogy is not any more complicated than learning about the various records available that may contain information about your ancestors.

text: Good evening fellow TCMAS members! A LOT has happened in the past few years. As many of you may know, I've been a fish breeder for a long time, and yes, the Lightning Maroon Clownfish (www.Lightning-Maroon-Clownfish.com) came to fruition up here in Duluth, MN. At the same time, I was busy working on the Banggai Rescue Project (www.Banggai-Rescue.com), which had forced a large buildout of my Duluth fishroom. Knowing that success at breeding means you have to find homes for fishes, I also undertook a truly eye opening run at breeding freshwater Angelfish on a somewhat commercial scale. I looked at what we produced as finding a way to support local shops with superior quality fish that customers couldn't find at their competitors / through other avenues. It worked extremely well for the customers who understood how to market what I produced. At the time, I was strictly wholesale, and remained that way for the past few years. The fish we've produced up here have been seen at local aquarium shops in MN, although not necessarily with my name directly attached to them. We had a rough couple years starting in that really bad winter of 2013/2014 - our home suffered extensive winter storm damage; we had ceilings and walls collapse with multiple water incursions, and by spring, we had a massive mold problem in the areas that had been damaged. At my wife's request, I kept this out of the "public eye"; she didn't want people to think we were looking for pity, which I understood. On the other hand, it was tough not being able to vent and commiserate with friends. The resulting mayhem in our lives was confounded by an insurance company directive to remove EVERY aquarium from my home (long story very short, for a while they tried to tie our damage to the aquariums, although later that was refuted. Of course, they also used them as an excuse to drop us following our claim, even though documentation was shown that they knew all along and, afterall, they carried my business insurance). I had sold off my angelfish production, and had stopped all breeding efforts while wading through this difficult time period. Things only somewhat returned to normal for our family by June, 2015. On the one hand it feels like forever ago, and yet on paper, we're not even a year away yet. As I fired business back up in late 2015, it became apparent that with offerings now primarily of admittedly expensive fish like Lightning Maroons, it could be very difficult for a shop to place an order. After some soul searching, and many frustrating attempts to connect interested buyers with their local shops to purchase through the LFS, I came to the decision that things would have to change. With that, I spent over 2 months feverishly building the online retail presence for my company; www.MiniWaters.FISH - It officially launched January 1st, 2016. Now, before I go one step further, I need to emphasize one very important point - I am STILL offering WHOLESALE pricing to every LFS, and our retail markups are such that any LFS in the area *should* be able to undercut my online, direct pricing to you. Now, not everything I offer is available at wholesale to your preferred LFS, but if it the wholesale availability on the bottom of the page says "yes", then they can buy it direct from me and make a profit on it! So Why Retail? Adding retail solved a number of issues AND created new opportunities. For starters, finally, when someone in Texas says "I'd like a Lightning Maroon", they can just buy one direct if they want. This was the most frustrating part of the last few years...turning away customer after customer on the premise that I was "strictly wholesale"...sadly these leads never turned into purchases from a LFS. Next, adding retail has allowed me to pursue relationships with suppliers and vendors that before wouldn't have done business with me, or simply wouldn't have made sense to deal with. Adding a retail side to MiniWaters allows me to bring in fish purchased at different pricing levels...some things I'm able to buy in bulk and offer at a reasonable wholesale price to a LFS, while other things come in so expensive (being already purchased at wholesale) they can only be retailed. By expanding the diversity of what I can offer, both wholesale and retail, everyone wins. Within that diversity I'm able to offer up fishes, particularly captive-bred variants, that are being overlooked by the mainstream online retailers and even your LFS. Items like the "Stripeless Cinnamon Clownfish.... Or the Fijian Sunkist Pink Skunk Clownfish.... Or heck, even something like a tank-raised Black Ghost Knife Fish! So while www.MiniWaters.fish serves to make these fish available, it is also an educational platform for you, and my LFS customers alike. These fish are out there, and they are fantastic. And now you know. And yes, you can still get a WYSIWYG Lightning Maroon Clownfish: For MN residents, yes, I have to charge you sales tax...this is a 100% above board company! Delivery in the region is amazingly affordable if we use SpeeDee Delivery; I also have FedEx options at our disposal if you want your shipping guaranteed. Of course, I highly recommend that you ask your LFS to get in touch with me to place an order - I still, to this day, believe strongly in supporting our LFS. If we've done business in the past, generally there won't be issues sending a shipment to a LFS (provided they're able to meet a reasonable minimum wholesale order). http://www.miniwaters.fish/wholesale-inquiries-with-miniwaters/ Going forward... Going forward I'm going to keep my user profiles here very distinct. MiniWaters is in fact ME, Matt Pedersen, but in the interests of keeping the "commercial" vs. "personal" firewall up, I will generally post as mpedersen, but if it's anything to do with selling or buying livestock - MiniWaters is the username to contact. I can be emailed directly at firstname.lastname@example.com - that's the FASTEST way to get a response. As far as the TCMAS Saltwater Expos, at this point in time I still only plan to be on hand representing LSMAC, doing our traditional huge frag grab box blowouts. That said, pre-paid deliveries of orders can be made at events I am attending. And NO, pickups are NOT available in Duluth; we are not insured for walk-in customers. If you want to buy and pick up something in Duluth, order it through Mark or Lisa at World of Fish up here. If you have any questions, please ask. This an exciting, and admittedly challenging chapter for my aquarium livestock offerings. The fishroom is in a state of flux and redesign to accommodate this new side of the business. Breeding should resume here in the next couple months if all goes well. Yes, there will be an interesting mix of Freshwater and Marine fish on hand, and if things go well, you might even see the addition of locally-produced coral frags too! I look forward to hearing what you all have to say, and look forward to sending you all some great fish in the weeks, months, and years ahead.
