Greetings to all of our members and supporters!
We are pleased to report that the SS United States withstood the travails of Hurricane Irene with flying colors! Staff at Atlantic Logistics Services, our ship caretakers, had a sleepless night as the hurricane bore down on Philadelphia on August 28. The team assumed a 24-hour pier watch as the storm approached and also monitored the vessel with security cameras. Lines were added and tightened and extra inspections for watertight integrity were conducted.
By the time Irene struck Philadelphia, the storm had diminished to a Category 1 hurricane. However, Irene's torrential rains and tidal surge resulted in the Delaware River rising almost seven feet above normal levels. At one point, the Big U's pier was completely under water. Thanks to the wind direction, the vessel held snug to her pier as she rode out the storm.
The Conservancy recently erected a banner at the SS United States' pier and we are working on other enhancements to draw public attention to the vessel. If you find yourself in Philadelphia, please stop by and say hello to the ship! Unfortunately, she is docked at a working port, and post-September 11 security restrictions limit public access to outside the pier security area. However, visitors can still enjoy wonderful views of the "Big U" and there are a number of restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
The Conservancy has been very busy this summer. While much of our business development planning is being conducted behind the scenes, our education and outreach activities are picking up speed. As you will read below, the Conservancy is currently recruiting for several part-time positions to help us further enhance and expand our work. If you know of anyone passionate about the cause and qualified for these posts, please don't hesitate to send them our way!

Message from Paul Stipkovich, SS United States Conservancy NY Chapter Chair:
The New York Islanders hockey team is graciously helping us raise money by sharing proceeds from ticket sales to their October 13th home game being played at the Nassau Coliseum. The SS United States Conservancy needs our help to promote this game and to sell a minimum of 250 tickets.
If New York City is going to be a contender in the search of a permanent home for the Big U we need to reach out to as many New Yorkers as possible. More people need to know what she was, what she is and what she can be in order to gain more (much needed) support from the Tri-State area.
A "Charity Game" at an NY Islanders' home in Nassau County is a great opportunity to reach out and introduce the SS United States to a new demographic of people in the area.
Please pass the word any way you can...reach out to friends and family who may be interested in taking in a game or buying tickets as gifts to help our cause. For those on Facebook, please share the link attached in this email as it directs people to where they can buy tickets via our secured page on the NY Islanders' website. The same for those who Twitter.
On Saturday, September 17th at 8:00pm, Susan Caccavale and the Conservancy's NY Chapter will be hosting a tablet at Madison's Martini Bar in East Northport, Long Island to promote the October 13th game. We need as many of the New York Chapter members there as possible to generate energy about the Big U and to sell hockey tickets.
Please RSVP to the New York chapter at nycssusc@... if you can join us on Sept. 17th to help us promote the SS United States' current plight and the Conservancy's NY Chapter's drive of bringing the ship permanently to the great city of New York!
Conservancy's Press and Public Outreach Continue!
The Conservancy continues its efforts to publicizing the plight and potential of the SS United States through the media. Recent successes include:
- Conservancy president Susan Gibbs and executive director Dan McSweeney were interviewed by Paul Perrello on Metro Networks-Westwood One outside of Philadelphia on August 10th. Dan McSweeney was interviewed by host Tommy B at KBUL radio in Billings, Montana on and on the "Steve Fast Show" in Bloomington, Indiana on July 14. Susan Gibbs was interviewed by Chris Brochon with WFLO in Farmville, VA on July 21. These interviews focused on the Conservancy's efforts to save the SS United States and Turner Publishing's re-issue of Frank Braynard's classic history of the ship, The Big Ship. For book ordering information, click here.
- Philadelphia City Paper and blogger Meg Augustin published a great article about the SS United States' original mid-century modern interiors. "This was the ship Don Draper would have taken across the Atlantic," writes Augustin, referencing the main character of AMC's hit show Mad Men, which takes place in the early 1960s. The article also outlines some of the Conservancy's future plans for the ship. Conservancy president Susan Gibbs is quoted in the article, saying, "We hope to combine the iconic features with something fresh and new - just like the ship did in its day." You can read the full Philadelphia City Paper article here.
- Greg Shutters, Communications Associate for the SS United States Conservancy was recently profiled in a Patch.com story in his hometown of Fox Point, WI. The article details the history of the SS United States, the efforts to save her, Shutters' recent work with the Conservancy and the path that brought him to the ship in the first place. Shutters, 24, hopes that his work for the SS United States will get more young people interested in the ship and the efforts to preserve her for the 21st century and beyond. You can read the full article here.
- Noted maritime artist and Conservancy supporter Bob Semler was recently featured in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Semler has been a great friend of the Conservancy's over the years and graciously contributed a beautiful image of the SS United States to our 2010 calendar. You can read the full article here.
Beautiful SS United States art prints by maritime artist
James Flood now for sale!
This beautiful image of the SS United States is now available for sale through artist James Flood's website. The artist has pledged a generous portion of each sale to support the ship and the SS United States Conservancy. Flood, who recently joined the Conservancy's Blue Riband Council, donated the original painting to the Conservancy and we plan to display this masterpiece prominently aboard the refurbished vessel.
The painting depicts the SS United States departing the historic towers of downtown Manhattan in the early years of her career, her vast hull gleaming in the late afternoon sun. The Conservancy's limited edition prints will be signed by the artist, numbered, and documented. These giclée prints are individually hand printed using durable acid-free art paper (exceeding density of 250 gsm), museum quality canvas and UV-stable inks. The print size is 18" x 24" and the image size is 14.5" x 22". You can order prints here.Richard O'Leary, a former officer aboard the SS United States, has just published his memoirs, One with the Sea: An Inspiring Rags-to-Riches Saga of the Son of an Irish Immigrant. O'Leary served as an officer on the Big U from 1957 until 1962 and made 254 trans-Atlantic crossings aboard the vessel. He knew William Fancis Gibbs, the SS United States' designer, as well as Commodore John Anderson, the ship's longest-serving master, and admired them both greatly. As his book describes, life as a deck officer was challenging. Social life was limited, although after three years, officers were allowed to watch movies in the first-class theater! Upon leaving the Big U, O'Leary served as Commandant of Mishipmen at the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point and then later moved to Norfolk, VA, where he became the assistant general manager of the Norfolk Port and Industrial Authority. In 1972, he founded Cruise Ventures Inc. and served as CEO and board chair for 34 years. His 2,500-employee company in 55 offices in a dozen states owned and operated "Spirit" harbor cruises in a number of major cities including New York, Norfolk, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle and Philadelphia. O'Leary feels strongly that the SS United States must be saved for future generations and the Conservancy looks forward to benefiting from O'Leary's considerable business acumen and experience as we continue to advance redevelopment options for the vessel.

It's alive today. Not in a perfect way. In a broken, hurting, raging way, for a pile of different reasons. Standing in the middle of Main Road, a chain of people line the sidewalks and streets in a nationwide protest against the current president, Jacob Zuma. Car horns are sounding, flags are waving and there is something alive in the air. I am standing mostly beside elderly white people holding South African flags almost too big for their frail bodies. The wind whips and twirls the flag but these old ladies can hold their own against great white sharks during a morning swim. A rambunctious flag is no problem.
It's not perfect, this protest. It should've happened sooner, for more humane causes. It should've been easier to call these voices to action when injustice sneered but people couldn't be bothered.
But, there is today. Today, I saw a glimpse of the spirit of the nation-the nation that I read about in newspapers 23 years ago-I saw it, first hand in all of its colorful glory.
It's unlike anything I can describe to you, this presence, this moment. It's bulky and awkward and moves like a lumbering monster on a crowded street, appendages flailing, causing collateral damage in its wake. But moving it is. Rising it is. Roaring it is. The spirit of South Africa and her people, all their glorious diversity and rainbow nation-ness. This young republic, cumbersome with pain from the past, daring to wrestle with its future.
I see different people groups standing together. I see each one, balancing both their wounds and their rage, each riddled with injustice or exhausted from fear.
I see the toyi-toying rhythms and hear the deep, low chanting. It gives me shivers and brings tears to my eyes. People born to sing and dance, well-practiced in the language of resistance. Their dancing and chanting need no instructor or guide. Each one innately knows the dance, learned from a small age. This is who we are. Powerful. Beautiful. A call to action that resonates from the soil itself.
I see the posters and cardboard signs outside the Coloured community, reminding passerby's that they are there, right where the government left them 50 years ago. They are there, a community born to celebrate and laugh, burdened with violence and invisibility. But they are there, standing proud, taking their turn in the protest, voices heard, faces seen. They are aching and beautiful. They hold the healing answers. They are all of us.
I see the red, blue, green and white colors of the flag waving, just a baby in the life of this new South Africa. There, under the shadow of Nelson Mandela's mosaic, stand the crowd of thousands reminding themselves that it was here, in this space, where the nation learned the power of a unified voice. Today, I saw a nation rise, lumbering and shaky, sore from the sitting. Together, the rainbow nation made a collective statement. This nation is more important than an empire, the people more valuable than a demagogue.
Today, I felt an electric jolt of hope that whispered of possibility as it winged its way through town.
And I marvel at how much this struggling nation will teach the struggling world.

Discussion in 'The Watercooler' started by TerryJ2, May 21, 2008.
I am SO glad I'm not this girl's mom.
Why is it such a hard concept? Actions = consequences.
And they guy taping this? NOT helping.
That girl would SOOOO not want me as a mom. Makes you wonder what other crud she pulled and mom helped her out of, or IF mom helped her out of things.
The guy taping is not helping, but the people taunting her are not either.
I agree, why is it so hard to grasp that actions = consequences??
If I was her mom, I'd be putting my head in the sand right now. I think there has been some rescuing in the past. Just a guess.
You never know about that though. difficult child will "run" to us when he's in trouble outside of the house and expects us to "fix" it. Doesn't matter that we never have, he expects it every single time. Yes, I will defend him and fight for him if I think he didn't do it but normally....you did it, you face it.
I think she may have been doing drugs. She is extremely irrational. I've caught many, many shoplifters in my time in retail. I've never had one calling for his or her mom. Usually, it's deny, deny, deny, even when they are caught red-handed with the goods.
We're not allowed to stop a shoplifter...only a manager is. Now, you'd think when you have a good 50 managers in ONE store there would be one available in the blink of an eye that I could call to. Nope. You can NEVER find one.
We have a loss prevention person. That's all she does. Where is she? In the back all day long. Ummm...I don't think you're going to get too many shoplifters in the back. How about the front door? I know that's a new concept, but give it a go.
I'm about 15 feet in front of the front door and I see people walk out all day long with tons of stuff...sometimes whole carts of food. I've given up mentioning it.
I was so good at catching shoplifters. I developed a sixth sense. I used to freak the employees out. I could be standing in the back of the store and stop dead in my tracks and say...."there's a shoplifter in here." Sure enough, I'd catch someone. Then later that day, I'd say......"We are going to catch someone again." About an hour later, I'd see someone pull into the parking lot and know that they were going to steal something. Sometimes, I would call the cops before I even saw them do it. I just knew. I got very friendly with that police department and I was never, never wrong.
The funniest one, was when I was walking out to get lunch and stopped dead in my tracks. I didn't even know anyone was even in the store, but felt that we were going to have a shoplifter. Came back and sure enough saw the guy trying to steal work boots, but apparently that was too difficult and he moved onto something else. I just called the cops. They caught him with a $200. pair of shoes and he told the cops he "found them outside on the sidewalk."
Oh, I can pick them out in a heartbeat. The first sign is the high priced drinks at the entrance. They grab one...casually walk around, crack it open (which many people do)...still walk around but not picking anything up other than the drink. Then, they simply walk out the door.
The other one is the full cart. They'll fill the cart, then stop at Starbucks, get their drink and just wheel out the 10 feet to the door.
The most interesting one is those that buy the 'environment reusable' bags. They fill up the bags as they shop, then walk out as they have paid. Kind of a weird thing. You'd think that someone who buys those cloth bags would be a good person...not a thief.
In the end, if I'm told not to apprehend someone, I'm not. Company policy. Maybe this is why our grocery prices are so high.
Ditto. difficult child will always call me - INSTANTLY - and it's not because she wants to get out of anything. It's because she's freaking out and scared. And I do think the entire thing was mishandled. The guy who cuffed her - who was he?? And if he had her down on the ground, he should have left her there. And when the REAL guard showed up, he should have made that moron taping everything to leave the area as well as the onlookers to be quiet.
Things never go down as they should, especially when you have a hysterical thief and a person trying to do the right thing. Ugh - the whole thing is just so Jerry Springer.
You'd think that someone who buys those cloth bags would be a good person...not a thief.
Hmm. Some of those bags are made of natural hemp. Maybe they've been smoking the stuff?
Yeah, the guy taping it must have been working for some tiny local station. Arg.
This video does not add up.
For a few reasons:
1.) HOW is it that 'someone' got there to video tape this AS she's being handcuffed? Odd wouldnt' you say?
2.) I get that there should and will be actions for her consequences, but who did you see in control in that situation? I didn't see or hear anyone who was really in control.
3.) When I replay this video - I hear a person who is continually allowed to say "YOU GOIN TA JAIL" and each time he says it the girl reacts more violently. My first reaction would have been to tell him to ZIP IT. He had no right to escalate that situation. She got caught, she's upset, she's bargaining (using the best coping skills she has) and it's not working and on the side is someone going NANA NANA BOO BOO STICK YOUR HEAD IN DOO DOO. He should be fired if he's a cop. You do eventually hear what may be a policewoman calmly talking to her - and you see the girl trying to just talk - not scream, but in the mean time you hear again YOU GOIN TA JAIL. Unreal.
4.) When the person is continually allowed to say things TO the girl - the cop gets more and more violent with her and eventually you hear him yelling at her (not necessary) through gritted teeth. And then he jerks her to the ground again.
I gotta tell you - if THIS is how that officer handled a simple shoplifter I WOULD HATE to see how he reacts in a situation with someone who is mentally or emotionally disabled.
This video scares the heck out of me.
Star, the video appears like a cell phone video. Everyone has them now and that's why so many of these type of videos are popping up. I don't believe it was an officer, but rather an undercover security person from the store that she shoplifted from.
Loth - had not thought of a phone - but still.
I showed it to my easy child. She thinks it's a cell phone too, and the guy shouting is just being a jerk. There are a lot of teens standing in the background so it's either a teen store, or they know the guy who's got the phone, or something.
The girl was out of it, definitely on something. Stick thin, too. Not a good combo.
egads it sounds like Fat Albert is the narrator!

Police were forced to subdue an arrested man who refused to go with them without first smoking a cigarette.
Officers were called to the Spalding home of Jevgeuij Rubikis after he punched a double-glazed window, breaking the exterior pane of glass, during an argument with his wife and friends.
Shelly Wilson, prosecuting, said police were called to the Laureate Grove address after Rubikis broke the window, cutting his hand, at about 4.30pm on November 11.
Mrs Wilson said Rubikis was arrested on suspicion of causing the damage, but refused to leave the address without first smoking a cigarette.
When this wasn't allowed, he "started throwing his arms and body around and he eventually threw himself on the floor".
She said incapacitant spray was used so the officers could restrain him.
At the police station, Rubikis said his relationship with his wife had broken down and he was in the process of leaving her to establish another relationship.
Mrs Wilson said Rubikis told police that some of his friends had tampered with his car, he became angry about that and accepted he had broken the window by punching the pane of glass.
He resisted the police officers because "he wanted to display his distress" to his wife.
Mrs Wilson said Rubikis specifically apologised to the police officers involved.
Rubikis (32) was fined a total of £100 when he pleaded guilty to resisting police and criminally damaging a window.
Spalding magistrates on Thursday ordered him to pay £260 compensation and £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
Speaking through an interpreter, Rubikis told the court he had resolved his difficulties with his wife and they were living together as family again.
He apologised to the court and said he damaged the window as a result of "family problems".

Unions shrug at Democratic convention
By ROBIN BRAVENDER | 9/2/12 2:33 PM EDT
In recognition of the changes we have made in our political program, however, and our desire to engage in politics in a more effective and grass-roots way, this year we will not be making major monetary contributions to the convention or the host committee for events or activities around the convention, Trumka said in a letter last month to union officials. We wont be buying skyboxes, hosting events other than the Labor Delegates meeting or bringing a big staff contingent to the convention.
Another labor group, Workers Stand for America, will have members out in the streets of Charlotte encouraging people to sign a pro-labor bill of rights. The group which has the backing of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the AFL-CIO and other labor groups held a rally in Philadelphia in August that some dubbed a shadow convention amid labor groups grumblings about Charlotte.

Mother Jones (18371930)
Typically clad in a black dress, her face framed by a lace collar and black hat, the barely five-foot tall Mother Jones was a fearless fighter for workers rightsonce labeled "the most dangerous woman in America" by a U.S. district attorney. Mary Harris "Mother" Jones rose to prominence as a fiery orator and fearless organizer for the Mine Workers during the first two decades of the 20th century. Her voice had great carrying power. Her energy and passion inspired men half her age into action and compelled their wives and daughters to join in the struggle. If that didnt work, she would embarrass men to action. "I have been in jail more than once and I expect to go again. If you are too cowardly to fight, I will fight," she told them.
Mother Jones' organizing methods were unique for her time. She welcomed African American workers and involved women and children in strikes. She organized miners wives into teams armed with mops and brooms to guard the mines against scabs. She staged parades with children carrying signs that read, "We Want to Go to School and Not to the Mines."
One of the most dangerous men in the world, and a frequent Obama visitor !

Oh I love this.
This is awesome.
Good job! :)
| pixie paramount chapter 1 . 8/2/2008
O-oh. Wow. This is a lovely introspective piece on Koruyuu. Koruyuu's really just perfectly personified in this; (s)he's totally devilish while, at the same time, you delve into his reasoning and pathos more than WISH was able to reveal. You really drive in the force behind it all, and it fits him so well because your working on something that's already been given to us in canon.
Except, now, you're just fleshing it out a bit more. A-and I find that this so bittersweet, toothachingly cute, and bitterly honest at the same time. The ending really drove it in for me; i-it really seemed and felt like something that Koruyuu would say and think and act upon.
I love this. I love that it's Koruyuu's feelings for Kohaku, their relationship, that's the center of it all. It's a short, tasteful insight into the character a-and just beyond any expectations. It's so lovely.

Heehee, I didn't even know there was a section for Wish over here at FFN. Well, I do like this manga, and since you worked on this and posted it and everything, I figured you deserved a review. I can only apologize that this review's mostly nonsense and probably has absolutely nothing intelligent contained within the small block of text.
Anyway, I like this. I said it on LJ, but I'll say it again. I like the writing style you used for this one, and I love seeing his "feelings", if they can be called that. Poor Kohaku, but still. Koruyuu does care in his own way.
Thanks for a great read. :3

Excellence in all things, and all things to the glory of God! This is our focus in the Fine Arts department at Legacy Christian Academy. From a Lower School art student working on a self-portrait to an Upper School theatre student waiting for the curtain to go up on opening night; from a Middle School band student who is just learning their first scales to an honors vocal student singing in the All-State choir, excellence is always the goal. We believe that we honor the Lord as we strive for a high level of performance using the gifts He has given. Alongside our goal of developing artistic skill in our students, is the goal of helping students understand how they can use those gifts for the greater glory of God. We want students to recognize that their abilities are indeed a gift from above as it says in James 1:17, and that those gifts will be best used when they are offered back to the Lord with gratitude.
First Place at
EDA Competition
8th grader Madelyn Baylor, 7th graders Cydni Young and Grace Langston, 8th graders Madalyn Hancock, and Blake Dubois won first place in the Jaguarland EDA Speech and Drama Competition Small Middle School Division. Madelyn, Grace, Madalyn and Blake Dubois all qualified for EDA State competition.

Princeton Student Columnist Writes Column Questioning Value of Her Column Writing
A Princeton University student columnist recently wrote a column questioning whether her column writing had any real value at all — and concluding quite boldly that in the grand scheme of things it probably doesn't.
Prior to that assertion, the well-written, nicely-cited treatise by Princeton freshman Sarah Sakha explores the larger place of opinion journalism in a media universe in which "print newspapers are leaving less space for opinion, cutting opinion pieces from publication and personnel."
As Sakha starts off the op-ed, published earlier this month in The Daily Princetonian, "I've been facing an existential crisis. But this is no ordinary crisis about the purpose or value or meaning of life. … I have been grappling with the purpose or value — or perhaps lack thereof — of newspaper column writing. This pseudo-crisis was spurred by a tangential discussion that I had in my journalism class when the question of the use of opinion in journalism was posed."
Bottom line, as she felt compelled by that discussion to ask herself: "Does what I write have any bearing?"
Well, opinion journalism certainly does — at least beyond the online carnival barkers and superficial TV talking head slugfests. As Sakha points out, in many ways impactful presentations of honest journalism — not objective, but honest — may be the only way to keep the interest of younger audiences tired of the traditional news report.
On a personal level, in her words, "I cannot say whether what I write here even matters because frankly, it doesn't. But we've entered a new era in which plurality is valued over straight objectivity, and hopefully from a plurality in perspective and opinion can we foster more multilateral, diverse discussion."
Note to Sakha: What you write matters, I promise. (Heartbeat accelerating.) Well, I personally think it does. (Awkward pause.) OK, I mean, I hope it might. (Existential crisis oncoming.) Is anyone out there?

Grand Master Peter's recommended
MAME games!
|Sky Base: Phoenix and StarTrek
fans (entry music LOL) will love this game. And you think the first level
is hard? Well the enemy mothership in the
fourth level is a real nasty to beat. Remember to hit with your rockets (not your normal missiles) the "mothership upper aliens" exactly after
they release the orange rocket... Classic!
|Sky Kid: You must simply pick a bomb and drop it to the targeted enemy base. Very enjoyable and with cute graphics. You can even save your plane while fallng (after being hit) with a special maneuver
|Slap Fight: Another shot-em-up. This one has
also some action, with you constantly moving to avoid all those enemy
fire. Collecting stars is very
important as then you can add more nice features to your ship. This is not something new, but this particular game has "something" that makes
it more addictive! :)
|Sky Raider: For such an old game, the experience was remarkable! Try to shoot the enemy bases and planes (especially the oil for obvious reasons!) while the land is strolling in front of you!
|Snake Pit: Like the title implies, you are
thrown into various snake pits and equipped with a whip you try to kill
all those nasty snakes, scorpions etc.
In some levels there is even some hole where you can jump in and die less painfully! :) Not for the faint hearted!
|Snacks'n Jaxson: Clowns usually get a deserved pudding in their face. Here, you get more stuff to eat, but you really need to exersize how to keep your nose bouncing and your neck ...extended! Another bizarre game! LOL
|Up n Down: It's nice to drive a buggy, but it's not nice to be surrounded by other hostile buggies... Anyway that's the name of the game, and you will need to guide your buggy in the right path if you wish to win this race! :)
|Van Van Car: Make those ballons pop and at
the same time avoid the cars whose goal is to have a frontal collision
with you! Your weapon?
Well your mighty jump, plus some pills that enable you to fire! :)

Around these parts, we like to learn about and from people who are running their own businesses – business we patronize, love, and admire, and the ladies who are running shit behind the scenes. In this edition of mind your business, we talk to Chitra Agrawal who with her partner founded Brooklyn Delhi, where they make delicious Indian-inspired condiments. Chitra is also a cooking instructor, runs a food blog, and is working on a cookbook, so she's basically a great person to have on-hand for dinner parties as well as a savvy entrepreneur. We interviewed her to find out how she developed and grew her business.
Tell us about your background and why you decided to start your own business.
Chitra: Since 2009, I've been writing the ABCD's of Cooking, a recipe blog documenting my family's recipes from India with local produce I receive in my farm share in Brooklyn, New York. I teach cooking classes and also host pop-up dinners throughout the city featuring vegetarian Indian food with a slant on seasonality. I'm currently writing my first cookbook with Ten Speed/Random House called From Bangalore to Brooklyn, all about South Indian vegetarian home cooking from my mom's hometown. Since I was young, I always enjoyed eating achaar or Indian pickle, a relish made from local fruits, vegetables, spices, chilies and oil. I realized that a lot of achaars sold in shops were very salt-heavy, had preservatives and just didn't taste homemade so I started making my own from seasonal fruits and vegetables in my CSA. They were such a hit at my cooking classes and pop-up dinners that my fiancé Ben offered to design all of the packaging (he's a food packaging designer) if I decided to launch a line of them…and that's how Brooklyn Delhi was born!
m: When you decided to start your own company, what steps did you take?
C: I already had the recipes for my achaars, so next we got started working on conceiving the Brooklyn Delhi brand. I worked really closely with Ben on figuring out what direction we wanted to go in aesthetically. I love a lot of retro Bollywood design as well as Indian street and truck art graphics so we started there. As far as the packaging design, Ben was a lifesaver as he has over a decade of experience in the area and was able to think about things I never even considered. It was important to me that we also launched with the Hindi name of 'achaar' and not just 'Indian pickle,' which is what appears on a lot of packaging in the shops now. My father has impeccable handwriting so I asked him to write the translation of all of our achaars in Hindi so his script appears on all of our bottles. The next bit was a lot of logistics—finding a commercial kitchen space, getting our recipes vetted for shelf stability, incorporating our business, etc. Luckily, I have a lot of friends in the Brooklyn food community who had started businesses already that helped advise me on a number of things when starting out.
m: Talk about the creation/development process of your achaar flavors.
C: I love combining Indian flavors and local produce. All of my achaar recipes were developed from the fruits and vegetables I received in my farm share. Some of them were traditional ingredients like tomato and garlic that are used in achaars in India and others were not like rhubarb and American gooseberries. What's pretty great is that I developed many of these recipes using Wilklow Orchards produce and now I worked directly with the farm to buy in bulk for my achaars at Brooklyn Delhi.
m: Were you born in India (if so, where) and how does the specific region where you're from inspire your product?
C: I was born in New Jersey, but I visit India quite often. My mother is from Bangalore in the South and my father is from North India, and much of his family lives in Delhi. I actually take from both types of cuisine for my recipes that I create.
m: How did you get the word out about Brooklyn Delhi once you were up and running? How have you been able to grow your business?
C: I promoted the line on my blog The ABCD's of Cooking and at my cooking classes and pop-up events. And I just get out there: I participate in local food markets, go to stores and drop off samples with buyers, do in-store demos and given that I don't really have a marketing budget, I used Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to spread the word.
m: Your business partner is also your partner in life. What are the challenges/advantages of this kind of arrangement?
C: I love working with Ben. The brand is as much him as it is me. We have a lot of fun creating together, but of course it does get tough sometimes to turn it off and take a break since we're together most of the time. It's an exciting time for the business so it's hard not to discuss new ideas, but we make a conscious effort to clear our heads of it. I think it's important to do that.
m: What is the most rewarding part of running your own business?
C: The most rewarding part is knowing I've built something from scratch. It's empowering to be able to make up the rules as you go along. It's a little scary, but so worth it to be able to come up with ideas and put them out into the world. And when you get a good response, it's a pretty amazing feeling.
m: What is the most challenging part?
C: The most challenging part is prioritizing things when you have so much to do. I find myself constantly weighting the different tasks at hand because there are just not enough hours in the day.
m: Do you have any advice for women who are looking to start a similar business?
C: My best advice is that if you have a passion, jump right in because you learn a lot more when you're in the thick of it!
m: Any plans for expansion? New products on the horizon?
C: Since I'm writing a cookbook now, I'm constantly experimenting in the kitchen so I always have ideas for more products. I recently made a recipe with red currants for my blog and would love to try making an achaar out of them too. As a cooking instructor, I want to make it easier for people to make Indian food so I've thought a lot about products along that line. Nothing concrete just yet though!

High pricing brought Deluxe Entertainment Services back to the market last week to refinance debt put in place in January. The video-editing and production company again tapped Credit Suisse for a $449 million term loan "B" to refinance and cut 75 basis points off the credit.
One investor said his firm had some minor concerns about the overall state of the film industry, but thought Deluxe looked like it still had many years before it hit any trouble. The Hollywood-based company hit up Credit Suisse and Bear Stearns in January for a $733 million deal to back its leveraged buyout by MacAndrews & Forbes from The Rank Group (CIN, 1/6).
The credit was originally talked at LIBOR plus 4-4 1/4% for the $125 million revolver and $458 million term loan "B" because of concerns about the industry swinging toward digital imaging over traditional film production. That deal also consists of a $150 million second-lien term loan priced at LIBOR plus 8 1/4%. Pricing on the first lien was later flexed down to LIBOR plus 3 3/4%, while the size of the revolver was bumped up to $150 million (CIN, 1/13). Calls to a MacAndrews & Forbes spokeswoman were not returned.

In a recent interview with Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong artist Chu Hing Wah commented on the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) and the M+ contemporary art museum. The project has the potential to raise Hong Kong's cultural profile.
I see M+ as one step forward in further developing the arts in Hong Kong. With its cultural capital as a vibrant cosmopolitan city, Hong Kong's art scene should have been more vigorous. The WKCD project presents an opportunity, but it depends on how determined the authorities are to make things happen.
Chu Hing Wah, Hong Kong artist
In the interview, Chu also talks on his unique style and how he is influenced by traditional Chinese arts. Chu recently participated in the West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre, which integrated Cantonese opera with contemporary visual art pieces. Running from 20 to 24 January 2012, it was the WKCD Authority's first cultural event.
The WKCD project will include seventeen cultural venues, including the M+ Museum of Visual Culture, headed by former Tate Modern Director Lars Nittve, several performing arts venues, and a 15,000-seat arena and expo centre. Nittve's selection is part of a larger push to attract the best talent to Hong Kong for the project.
Not everyone is optimistic about the scheme's prospects. As reported by the South China Morning Post, the project is now in its fourteenth year of development and has been marred by several controversies. Not only did the original design by architect Norman Foster have to be scrapped due to infeasibility, but his newest plan, which routes all traffic underground, may conflict with his stated goal to be completely carbon-neutral. It will also demand massive up-front construction costs. In addition, there has been controversy over the selection process, including alleged bureaucratic manipulation of public opinion polls.
Perhaps most distressing is the concern that the project will fail to live up to its aims. According to Samuel Leong, Head of the Hong Kong Institute of Education's cultural and creative arts department, "The arts hub has been tied up too much with real estate and other commercial interests". Indeed, from the outset, there has been doubt over whether the Hong Kong government has had a unified vision for the WKCD project, alternatively envisioning it as a cultural, commercial, and tourist venture. Without a comprehensive cultural program, critics suggest that Hong Kong will ultimately lack the professional talent or audience to support the ambitious project.

CD Review – Swing Jazz
The Gerry Beaudoin Trio
'Swing Cafe'
North Star Records Inc./2005
From the opening bars of 'Swing Cafe straight through to the lingering finish, this is a CD of superb quality and utter musicality. Guitarist Gerry Beaudoin leads his trio and a world class ensemble of friends through this delightful swing journey, tastefully presented in an intimate combo setting.
Beaudoin, who is a virtuoso in his own right, has invited the legendary guitarist and master of the genre Bucky Pizzarelli, iconic mandolinist David Grisman, blues guitar giant Duke Robillard, and jazz clarinetist Billy Novick to join him for this choice collection of standards and originals. He works with two rhythm sections throughout, made up of bassists Bob Nieske and Marty Ballou, and drummers Grover Mooney and Chuck Laire.
Six of the tracks are remixed and remastered from Beaudoin's out of print (and now cult classics) recordings, the rest recorded in Boston. They seamlessly fit together, for the sound is the binding factor, a buoyant, effervescent and joyful expression delivered in a most congenial manner. Beaudoin contributes five original compositions to the project, with the rest coming from the pens of Duke Ellington, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Sonny Rollins, Errol Garner, and famed R&B artist Bill Withers.
Swing is the operative word here, and the Duke himself smiles down upon the Robillard/Grisman dialogue on 'In a Mellow Tone', and Novick/Pizzarelli mix on 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore'. Grisman and Beaudoin shine on a rollicking version of Sonny Rollin's 'St. Thomas, while drummer Mooney produces some fine stick work on his solo. Grisman, who graces seven of the tracks with his innovative voice, produces a funky version of Wither's 'Aint No Sunshine', and a luminous take of Garner's 'Misty'. The mystical 'Django's Castle'brings a European flavour to the recording, with a Gypsy tremolo gently suspending the alternate voices of Beaudoin and Grisman. Beaudoin's 'Airola' heads into a contemporary Latin feel, with the artist conversing with Grisman's mandolin in a loose and fluid groove.
Textural, clean, and distinctive, this amalgam of voices carries the message of jazz and defines an era. The CD cover promises 'cool swingin' jazz', and doesn't fail to deliver.

I don't think I like the straw tote. It is going back. I am also unsure of the patent wallet. I LOVE the color and the patent leather but I don't think it is very practical at all for me... the little kiss lock compartment is not very big at all.. I don't change wallets often so I think I would just need a bigger one. I love everything else! When I get my camera working I will add the other pics.. that include modeling pics. I also wanted to add that my straw tote didn't even come with a dust bag!! I would think that a $300 bag should come with one... straw or not.

When gas prices soar, RV sales often tumble; 2005 was no exception. Sales were down 3.5% in the first eight months of the year. But with many baby boomers reaching retirement — a prime time to buy an RV — manufacturers and dealers aren't too worried. Growth rates are expected to increase in the long term, said Richard Curtin, director of consumer surveys for the University of Michigan. If you're just getting started shopping, here are various types of RVs, their costs and how many people they hold:

Airbus Helicopters has delivered the second of six Super Puma AS332 C1e airframes to the Bolivian Air Force (FAB) following their order in 2013. The first was delivered last August, and the remaining four are scheduled for delivery between now and 2016.
The Airbus contract also stipulated a logistical support package to provide the FAB with training and resources necessary to ensure high fleet availability. Since the arrival of the first Super Puma, the FAB has benefited from the services of a permanent technical expert, an instructor pilot and a maintenance instructor. Additionally, a technology transfer program has facilitated the training of more than 100 FAB technicians and pilots.
Able to operate at high altitude and at extreme temperatures, the Super Puma family of helicopters is well suited to operations in Latin America, especially in the mountains and plateaus of the Andes. The AS332 C1e variants will be used by the FAB to fight drug trafficking and perform civil security and public service missions throughout the country.
The official handover ceremony was held in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Attendees included Bolivian President Evo Morales, members of the FAB High Command, Michel Pinard, the French Ambassador to Bolivia, and representatives from Airbus Helicopters.

Lindsey Buckingham
Cendera Center
Fort Wort, TX
August 24, 2012
By Ron Dempesmeier
Cast Away Dreams | Bleed to Love Her | Not Too Late | Stephanie | Come | Shut Us Down | Go Insane | Never Going Back Again | Big Love | I'm So Afraid | Go Your Own Way
Trouble | Rock Away Blind | Seeds We Sow
When you are a voice and a songwriter inside a big machine like Fleetwood Mac, you must feel somewhat anxious to stretch out and impress the world with your own voice. Lindsey Buckingham may have felt like an equal, but he's been the first among equals when it comes to his influence on the production and arrangements of the mighty Mac. Although his former paramour Stevie Nicks has had the far more popular solo career, the more experimental and technically impressive songs have graced Buckingham's solo albums.
Appearing in a black leather jacket, black v-neck shirt and dark blue jeans with his still unruly hair (although higher on the forehead), Mr. Buckingham's lean physique was practically wired as he unleashed cascading torrents of arpeggios and searing solos on the more aggressive songs. There was nearly a standing ovation after each song – the audience at the Cendera Center was into his music and his instrumental and vocal prowess.
His set featured a lot of recent selections from his later solo albums like 2006's "Under the Skin" or last year's home recorded "Seeds We Sow". "Cast Away Dreams" started the evening off peacefully enough with delicate finger picking and yearning lyrics. "Bleed to Love Her" ended with a very long solo that got the audience primed to rock. When Buckingam performed "Not Too Late" his constant picking pattern became almost a pure glissando as he ruminated about his solo career in comparison to belonging to Fleetwood Mac.
When he performed "Go Insane" he slowed down the nervous, quirky pulse of the original and featured a spookier mood to the song. Buckingham explored a wide range of dynamics in his songs, going from gentle and low to brash and loud. Some lyrics on "Never Going Back Again" were performed at nearly a whisper and the audience quieted down and hung on to each syllable.
"Big Love" had the very guttural sound where the "oooh, aaah" section was sung and Buckingham accentuated the aah part almost like an animal. When he introduced the song, he said it was written as he was at that time and about how he was pushing love away in his life. Now "Big Love" is more a remembrance of that time and a reminder of the independence he was seeking to do more unique work.
"Go Your Own Way" from Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" album was the most joyously received song of the evening. Buckingham played it with great fervor and enjoyment and the crowd clapped and sang along. He then briefly ran off stage leaving the audience wanting more.
When he returned for the encore, he started out with his highest charting solo single "Trouble". The lack of the lush backing vocals was replaced by his dexterous picking. He was cajoled into playing "Rock Away Blind" by three fans that kept shouting for it and holding up a sign with the song's title. Although he said he hadn't prepared for it, the song did not suffer a bit. Finally, he ended with the gentle title song of "Seeds We Sow" that is about as lovely a ballad as you're going to hear.
Did the Little Machine show how it powers his contributions to the Big Machine? Yes – very much so.

What is steampunk? Is it a genre? A special-interest society? A sub-culture? An aesthetic movement? I think the answer is: yes! Steampunk has its roots in the Victorian-era science fiction writing of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Consider The War of the Worlds (1898), The Invisible Man (1897), and The Time Machine (1895) by Wells, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1872), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1871), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) by Verne. These books were revolutionary when they came out – it was the birth of science fiction. Steampunk is born from this period – a time when the world was on the verge of the technological explosion that led to widespread use of electricity and automobiles. Steampunk captures an era where steam (as a power source) held infinite potential, horse-drawn carriages roamed the land, and brass, leather and wood were king.

Quiet Oman faces revolution
By Philippe Bannier, MEDEA Institute
We may almost forget that Oman still exists. Wedged between two giants that are Saudi Arabia and Iran, the country is rarely under the media spotlights. This ancient maritime power in the Indian Ocean is deemed not to make waves at the margin of the Arab world.
© Eric Gaba. Oman is located at the margin of the Arab World. Influenced by the Arabic peninsula, it has been mostly shaped by Indian and African Worlds, when it used to be an imperial power.
Led by Sultan Qaboos bin Said since 1970, a genuine builder and guarantor of national unity, the country has been rocked by protests in 2011 in the context of the Arab Spring. Rampant corruption in government and administration was particularly targeted by protesters. The latest decision to ease people's minds and fight against this scourge, a Court of Justice of the Sultanate sentenced in March a businessman accused of corruption.
In the 1970s and1980s, the country has developed its social and economic sector, following the impact of the two oil crisis, although it represents only 0.3% of proven reserves in the world. There was not, however, a political liberalization. Parties are forbidden, trials are expeditious, and the Sultan concentrated all the powers in his hands. He is Sultan, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, and appoints the members of the government at the same time.
From February 2011, peaceful protesters demanded more political freedoms and greater openness of the elected Consultative Assembly (Majlis ash-Shura). Social claims did drive these revolts, such as the fight against corruption and unemployment (over 20% of the population), especially among young people. The answers given by the Sultan – 30% increase in wages, increase student grants, government reshuffle – have not put an end to the protest, which turned into clashes. Demonstrators were killed, while others were imprisoned and were tortured.
© Karim Sahib/AFP. In the context of the Arab Spring, a series of protests occurred in Oman from February 2011. Corruption, unemployment and arbitrary arrests were denounced by the protesters.
The situation is potentially explosive in a country with many ethnic groups and foreign population forming around 25% of the total population. However, the sultan continues to emerge as the undisputed leader and a sincere reformer. It is for this reason that the demonstrators have changed the traditional slogan of the revolutionaries of Tunisia and Egypt, "the people want the fall of the regime", transforming it into "the people want the reform of the regime".
To avoid contagion, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf monarchies members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) had created a fund of $20 billion in March 2011 to support the contested powers. Oman and Bahrain were the main recipients, but it had not helped to calm down popular discontent.
Gulf countries are not the only ones to have looked closely at the events taking place in the Sultanate. USA and Asian countries have paid particular attention to this usually stable country. Its strategic position gave it access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which 30% of global oil trade passes, and upon which 85% of Asian countries, including China, India, Japan and South Korea. A destabilized Oman could therefore disrupt global trade and create a new oil crisis that any developed or emerging country don't want to see happen.
As a strategic crossroads Oman is able to play an important role in regional issues, always discreetly except when it comes to defend its own interests. It is categorically opposed to the Saudi project of tightening the links in the GCC, of which it is a member. Muscat had seen in this project an attempt of Saudi Arabia to strengthen its grip on the organization, and feared for its independence in international policy, particularly regarding Iran.
The origin of its good relations with Iran can be found in the 1970s, when the Shah had helped the Sultan to suppress militarily the Marxist-inspired rebellion in the province of Dhofar, in the south of the country. Since then, in spite of the few years following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, political and economic relations between the two countries are good, as evidenced by the visit in March of Iranian President Hassan Rohani in Muscat. A contract of sale of Iranian gas was signed over 25 years, in addition to the construction of a pipeline along the Gulf.
© AP. In March 2014, Sultan Qaboos ibn Said welcomed the Iranian President Hassan Rohani. The good relations between Iran and Oman have placed Oman as a mediator between Tehran and Washington over the nuclear issue.
With its influence within the GCC, its good relations with Iran but also with the USA – it hosts a US military base since 1980 – Oman played a mediating role in regional conflicts, particularly on the Iranian nuclear program issue. Oman has hosted Iranian and US envoys in March 2013 to prepare the historic agreement signed in Geneva on 24th November of the same year.
Oman has clearly a strategy of independence as the Non-Aligned Movement had, in the "Cold War" that Saudi Arabia and Iran are waging to each other. It is also a way for the sultanate to distinguish itself religiously, because it is the only country in the world to have a majority of Ibadi Muslim, the third branch of Islam with the Sunni and the Shia. The political and religious moderation of the Sultanate is the opposite of some messianic accents and often violent words of the Sunni Saudi Arabia on one side and of the Shia Iran on the other side.
The question that remains crucial in the Sultanate, beyond political and social unrest in the country over the last three years, is that of the succession to the Sultan, who has no heir. Three names are circulating among his nephews, but the official successor has not been appointed, for fear that a rival emerge in his lifetime.
As written by Najma al-Zidjaly, a professor at Sultan Qaboos University, Muscate: "So what I and my fellow Omanis have learned from the protests is that we need to talk peacefully, respectfully and responsibly, about our past, present and future". Through the sinuous paths of political reform, Oman advances, quietly.

Masai Ujiri is prepared to stand pat after trading Andrea Bargnani in exchange for three players and three draft picks.
"What are we going to do, throw players away?" Ujiri said at the prospect of "tanking." Last week's rumor of dealing Rudy Gay to Detroit for the expiring contracts of Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva might be an example of what Ujiri was talking about. "We're not going to do that. And I think winning is what you want to build around. And I think when you [try to trade away talent for little in return], I'm not so sure the karma is great when you do stuff like that. But I understand the whole big picture and we're putting all the options on the table."
Ujiri is preaching patience with his roster.
"For me, patience is the key. I think we all have to be patient," Ujiri said. "We have a good window for a couple years here and I think you have to, sometimes, you just can't react and try to do things just to do them."

The South Fox Island Light was a light station located on South Fox Island in the north end of Lake Michigan. There are two towers standing at the site: the first is the original brick keeper's house and tower, while the second is a skeletal tower moved to this site from Sapelo Island, Georgia in 1934. Neither is operational.[1]
Congress appropriated $18,000 in 1867 for the construction of this light, and it was first lit in November of that year.[2] This structure was built of Cream City brick and consisted of a keeper's house with attached tower; a fourth-order Fresnel lens was used for the flashing red beacon.[2]
In 1880 the light keeper erected a fence around the station in order to reduce drifting snow and sand, which were making access to the property difficult at times; this was supplemented in 1892 with a network of wooden walkways joining the various station buildings.[2] More substantial changes commenced in 1895 with the addition of a steam whistle fog signal, which was replaced in 1929 with a diaphone horn; at the same time the beacon was converted from kerosene to electricity. A wooden house was erected for an assistant keeper in 1898; this was replaced by a red brick duplex in 1910.[2]
In 1934 the old tower was deactivated in favor of a skeletal tower erected somewhat closer to the point.[2] This tower was taken from the Sapelo Island Light station in Georgia, which had been discontinued the previous year.[2] The station was automated in 1958, and the light was finally discontinued in 1969.[1] Neither tower was demolished, however, and in 1971 the federal government transferred the land surrounding the light station to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, which entertained the lead of establishing a harbor of refuge at the site.[1] The light station itself was also transferred to the state in 1980.
Two-thirds of the island was owned by David V. Johnson, a local developer who also purchased North Fox Island in 1994; the following year a land swap was proposed which would have given the state North Fox in exchange for Johnson receiving the remainder of South Fox.[3] This set off a legal battle initiated by the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, who claimed rights to use of the island on the basis of an 1836 treaty; the local DNR district also objected to the swap, saying that the south island was more important to its mission than the north. After several years of hearings, the swap proposal was modified in 2001 to leave the portion incorporating the light station in the hands of the state; after the tribal claim was denied by the courts in the following year, the swap was allowed to proceed.[3]
Preservation efforts began in 1984, when a band of ten members of the Michigan Youth Corp performed a cleanup of the light station grounds.[3] In 2002 the Fox Island Education Association was formed, which became the Fox Island Lighthouse Association in 2005 when it applied for nonprofit status.[3]

CBRE has released a white paper entitled What is Your CoRE Strength summarizing specific practices top corporations are using to enhance the performance of their corporate real estate group.
It's no secret that having an effective corporate real estate (CRE) organization in any company creates an environment where achieving efficiency is easier. CRE professionals are challenged, however, by the issue of which specific practices create an effective CRE organization. Furthermore, companies have difficulty determining how much difference actually implementing those practices makes. This special report highlights a recent global study examining the operational characteristics and efficiency of large corporations to better understand the correlation between a CRE organization's tactics and strategy, and the resulting efficiency of their portfolio.

CPU info off?
I'm running an IBM Thinkpad 600X with 750Mhz processor on Linux Mint (I'm working on slimming it down a bit). But one thing I've noticed is that the CPU frequency is listed incorrectly (I hope). Its listed under cat /proc/cpuinfo is coming up at 166.5... I really hope thats not right. I'm using cpufreqd to control speedstepping, and I can surf the net fine and play a DVD fine but I'm curious whether this is just an error in acpi or something.
I had some trouble getting the processor functioning properly (it was very spotty before installing cpufreqd), so its something I'd like to keep track of until I know its working properly.

the processor runs at that speed and is multiplied. I have noticed in my experience with many many systems, some processors show this base value for various (unknown to me) reasons. assuming this is the case, you are fine.

I never really considered myself a tomboy until recently when I noticed a lot of guy friends started telling me (jokingly) that they thought I was a guy sometimes.
I had to stop and think about it, and I guess its true. My usual attire is whatever I'm most comfortable in, which is sweat pants/Jeans and a plain white tee. I take care of myself physically, but its just my carefree/easy going personality to dress that way..
So, I go to 7/11 a lot because I like this one guy that works there, and I always show up in the aforementioned clothing, really casual and all. He's a lot older than me, let's say around 28-ish... so I was wondering if that was a turn off ?
What would go through your head if you saw a girl who was attractive, but dressed really casual, and you always saw her like that?

Personally, I find it more attractive than someone clad for the sake of showing off.00|00|0

A reflection of the english countryside, the range is made from locally sourced orchard fruits and berries, cooked without boiling for clear, distinct flavours and bright, beautiful colours.
Cooked onions are one of the most delicious things you can ever eat and they are the corner stone of almost everything we eat, delicious and adaptable, try it with a liver parfait or even with your curry.
Kai's favourite, it being such a strong part of his Norwegian heritage. Through his dedication to Raspberries, he has worked diligently to produce the ultimate pot. Experimenting with different varieties and sugar content. Watch this space, the quest will never be over!
We make our marmalade with 100% Seville oranges that give a huge amount of flavour intensity. Bitter, chunky pieces in a soft sweet/sour jelly. Spread onto warm wholemeal toast along side a good cup of tea is the homeliest breakfast available.
This is definitely one for the grown ups. The almost savory flavour of the gooseberries are balanced by the heady aromatics of the elderflower. A very English combination that leads one to plan afternoon teas, just for the occasion of eating it.
Damsons evoke the English countryside perhaps more than any other fruit as they bejewel our hedgerows in late summer and early autumn. In Sky's opinion sucking the jam off the stones as you serve yourself only adds to the enjoyable experience of the eating.
Wonderfully deep, well rounded, aromatic flavours with a hint of almond. These cherries are sourced from a historic orchard in Essex. This jam can be baked into stunning Bakewell Tarts or stirred into your morning yoghurt.
Blackberry make a jam of subtle delicacy. The romance of the wild uncultivated plants that grow up and down the country and are harvested by the nation on many an afternoon stroll.
Blackberry jam has proved to be the perfect companion to peanut butter in a sandwich.
Crunchy fresh vegetables in a piquant mustard sauce . A marriage made in heaven to accompany a pork pie . The use of English cider vinegar from Aspalls give our Piccalilli a sharp clarity that is unusual.
With our Blackcurrant Blighty jam we really wanted to embrace and emphasise the sour character of the blackcurrants. aA delicious, sweet, sour jam that makes you salivate for more.
It is a wonderful addition to a rich buttery croissant.
Well balanced and fruity, with a hint of ginger. Sourdough artisans, Poilane, pare it with Fois Gras, but equally perfect with a cheese sandwich. Our neighbours, The Kernel Brewery supply us with the ale for this excellent chutney.
The inspiration for this jam was taken from Kai's favourite childhood sweet, the rhubarb and custard bonbon, and we have had many customers telling us that it takes them straight back to their own childhood. Spooned onto really good Crème Fraiche
Sky grew up in Strawberry Lane in Tiptree, and in June when the Wilkins factory were making strawberry jam for the year, the whole village smelled of it. Strawberry Days is bright and beautiful and full of the heady aromas of a summers day. It deserves a homemade scone .
We are brimming with pride for our fruit cheeses. Made in the same way that fruit cheeses have been made for hundreds of years, slowly dehydrated to the perfect set. Intense and beautiful. Why do we call them cheese? Something lost to our generation, but if you were to ask your Grandma, she would tell you that anything made into a block, is a cheese. Our signature range includes two fruit cheeses, a damson and a quince. We lso make bespoke fruit cheeses on request.

Chelsea are being strongly linked with Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin ahead of the winter transfer window.
Some sources have even suggested that the transfer is a done deal with Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting there is a simple complication holding the deal back from being made official.
The Italian website has today run a report which suggests that Guarin is preparing to say goodbye to his Inter Milan colleagues with only the details of various personal terms to be agreed before the deal can be announced.
"In a nutshell, we are practically at the details - for example, the duration of the contract for Guarin, probably three years plus one," reads the report in Gazzetta.
That suggests that the fee has already been agreed behind closed doors, widely reported as £15 million, which would enable the negotiations over various personal terms to start so the deal can go through as quickly as possible next month.
Guarin would certainly be a top quality addition to the Chelsea squad considering the impact he's had at Inter Milan and the experience he boasts on both the domestic and international scene.
However, if a deal is in place then it's going to be a confusing transfer from the perspective of many Chelsea fans because it's difficult to see what the 27-year-old would bring to the table that they don't already have.

"All is not done in haste: there is a derby game to play – at the time will be announced the departure of Fredy," adds the report.
That derby game between Inter and city rivals AC Milan will take place on December 22 and it's only logical that if Inter are going to lose Guarin, they will try and get as many matches out of him as possible before he leaves.
So according to Gazzetta it all comes down to the finer details, which are tied up in the realm of personal details. If that certainly is the case then Chelsea have a very good player about to walk into their club and it's only a matter of time before the news is made official.
