|Research Cost
At the start of each turn, each and every enemy spellcasting unit loses 5. The opponent wizard, if there is one, also loses 5 per turn.Furthermore, enemy units with a Magical Ranged Attack who use ammunition will lose one point of ammunition each turn.
Mana Leak is a Common Combat Enchantment belonging to the Death Magic realm. It may be only cast during combat, for a basic Casting Cost of 20. At the start of each and every combat turn while Mana Leak is in effect, each and every enemy unit possessing the Caster ability loses 5 out of its personal Mana pool. Furthermore, if the enemy army belongs to any Wizard, that wizard loses 5 per turn as well from his/her own Mana pool. Finally, any enemy units using a Magical Ranged Attack with limited ammunition will lose 1 point of ammunition at the start of each turn.
Effects Edit
Mana Leak causes magical energy to escape from the hands of those enemies who can utilize it. They lose Mana every turn, and as a result may quickly lose their ability to cast spells and/or make Magical Ranged Attacks.
Draining Unit Mana Edit
At the start of each combat turn, Mana Leak drains exactly 5 Mana from each and every enemy unit that has its own Mana pool.
Enemies with the Caster ability have their own Mana Pool, and thus will lose Mana every turn in this way. This reduces the unit's ability to cast spells during the battle, as it will quickly run out of Mana.
Units with both the Caster ability and a Ranged Magical Attack use Mana as ammunition to fuel their ranged attack (at a cost of 3 per attack). Draining out such a unit's Mana pool essentially also reduces the number of Ranged Attacks they can make before having to resort to an often weaker Melee Attack.
Draining Wizard Mana Edit
If the opposing army is controlled by one of the Wizards, Mana Leak will also drain 5 out of that wizard's Mana pool.
In the short-run, this may curtail the enemy wizard's ability to keep casting spells during the battle, as he/she may end up running out of Mana with which to do so. Unfortunately, most wizards have ample Mana, and won't run out so easily.
On the other hand, Mana lost in combat is lost in the overland map as well. Therefore, the longer Mana Leak is kept in play (and vicariously, the longer the battle is kept without resolution), the more strategic benefit results from the use of Mana Leak.
Draining Ammunition Edit
Finally, Mana Leak also targets enemy units that use a Ranged Magical Attack but do not have the Caster ability. Such units use ammunition for their Ranged Attacks, which is limited. At the start of each combat turn, Mana Leak will reduce the number of ammunition points these units have by 1 each.
As a result, such units will quickly run out of ammunition and may no longer use their Ranged Attack at all. They now have to resort to (usu. weaker) Melee Attacks.
Units possessing a Ranged Missile Attack or Ranged Boulder Attack are not affected.
Usage Edit
Mana Leak may be cast during combat, for the basic Casting Cost of 20.
Mana Leak acts at the start of each of the opponent's turns. This means that its first effect will take place after it has been cast and the turn is handed over to the opponent.
After casting the spell, its icon will appear in the "Enchantments" window underneath the casting wizard's name. The spell will remain in effect until the end of battle, or until dispelled by the opponent. Since it does not carry on after the end of the battle, Mana Leak has no Upkeep Cost.
Acquisition Edit
As a Common Death spell, Mana Leak may become available to any Wizard who possesses at least one Death Spellbook. However, its availability during the game is not guaranteed unless the Wizard acquires at least 7 Spellbooks.
Customized Wizards possessing up to 10 Spellbooks at creation time may choose this spell as one of their default spells before starting the game, in which case the spell will already be researched and available for casting immediately on the first turn. Wizards with 11 Spellbooks are guaranteed to have this spell available for casting as soon as the game begins.
Wizards with 6 or fewer Spellbooks who have not chosen Mana Leak as a guaranteed spell have a random chance of being able to Research it. The chance for this spell to appear increases with the number of Death Spellbooks the Wizard possesses or obtains during gameplay. With 7-10 Spellbooks, the spell is guaranteed to appear for Research if it is not alraedy available for casting.
Mana Leak has a base Research Cost of 220.
With at least 1 Spellbook, the Mana Leak spell may be acquired as a reward for winning encounters in creature Lairs, Towers, et cetera, or when conquering the Fortress of a rival wizard who has already researched this spell.
Strategy Edit
Mana Leak comes in handy when facing several spell-casters simultaneously, as it will quickly drain all of them of Mana and of the ability to use Ranged Magical Attacks. It is often best to cast this spell as early as possible in the battle, to drain those spell-casters as early as possible.
More interesting is the use of this Combat Enchantment to achieve a strategic effect. Get some fast-moving units into battle with an enemy wizard's army, cast Mana Leak, and evade the enemy units for as long as possible. Even if you end up fleeing from the battle (whether automatically or to save your units), you will likely have drained a very significant amount of Mana from the enemy wizard's pool. If done right, you can potentially drain about 250 this way, for what is essentially a very low Casting Cost.
If an enemy wizard casts Mana Leak, your best move (short of dispelling it immediately) would be to use up as much Mana as you can casting actual spells and making Ranged Attacks, and try to win the battle as quickly as possible. The more you linger, the more Mana you lose!!

One of the biggest perceived barriers to aircraft sales is the export or import question. Even we get a bit jumpy when fetching a US registered aircraft to import to Canada, Europe, or better yet, The Republic of Botswana. But here's the thing – if you want to sell your aircraft in a timely fashion for the right price, it is best to think beyond your borders. It's a global market and the current trend and demand is to buy in the US and sell abroad for a host of reasons.
So, it behooves any good broker or sales person to be conversant in how it works.
The Export C of A
The FAA (and select other agencies in other countries) have very clear bi-lateral agreements that resolve a lot of the redundancy that can be created by inspecting in one country (before export) and then another massive inspection in the arrival country in order to get the conformity for private or commercial registration.
The benefit to buying or exporting US aircraft is that much aviation legislation worldwide is modeled after the FARs. (Federal Aviation Regulations.) While the Canadian CARs (Canadian Aviation Regulations) aren't identical they are very close. Stranger yet is that even less developed countries (than Canada!) have regs that you might think were copied verbatim from the FARs.
So what is the Export C of A and how does it work? In short – you get one issued and *theoretically* you can import the aircraft into the country of destination automatically. There can be no complaint raised by anyone. In practice, there are still blocks thrown up to the Export C of A and whether you want to go the UN or ICAO and sue Transport Canada for not playing ball is your call. Our experience is to know that what it is supposed to do vs. what it actually gets accomplished and to go with the latter.
It usually gains you one big thing though: You won't have to do an annual or MPI (major periodic inspection) *again* upon arrival in a country that has a bi-lateral arrangement honoring the Export C of A. You may have to do many other unpleasant things, but what you are buying is one less inspection.
The Worst?
So what is the worst that can happen? You do it wrong, you rush, you hire the wrong people and your aircraft is stuck in limbo between two countries as a boat anchor. This happens. It is sad, but possible and real. It is easily preventable, though, if there is a solid checklist outlining how you'll get from a to b.
The Best?
The smoothest deals we've seen, in a US to Canada context (where there are just as many bad "boat anchor" deals) is where the right people were involved from start to finish.
For example, selecting the Canadian AMO (Aircraft Maintenance Organization) that will do your import matters. Why? Because they'll have a relationship with a Minister's Delegate who will take you through a 47 point (or something like that) checklist to see if the aircraft can be registered in Canada and given a Transport Canada airworthiness certificate. The cruel irony here is that this is required for aircraft that were originally built in Canada, be they a Bombardier Challenger or DeHavilland Twin Otter.

This week I helped out one of my beautiful girlfriends on a femdom session she had booked. It was a double session hooking up 2 sissy's and making them hook up for their very first times. She needed my help with hair, makeup, direction and to film it. We met at the Beverly Hills hotel in a suite, each of the men arrived 30 minutes before the other. I began hair and make up on the first man, He was in his late 30's, attractive and I was informed after he was a really successful social media head. It didn't matter, all I saw was that I was transforming this man into a sissy slut who's about to have his firs sissy play date. My friend got the other sissy ready and called for us to come out and the 2 transformed sissy's united. They both looked scared so we pulled out the sissy pink champagne and told them to have some and then start kissing. It was the first sissy kiss and they embraced and both of their little sissy clits were sticking straight up. I want to sissify YOU are you pink enough to serve a Goddess like myself and get turned out?

Thompson sub
How does one sell a Thompson submachine gun? A friend passed away and his wife is selling his gun collection. One is a "USMC 078" Thompson, gold muzzle brake, commemorative model apparently, never fired. I cannot find any listing in the Blue Book of Gun values for a commemorative model. If someone wanted to buy it, I assume one cannot just sell it without going through a FFL holder - or, in fact - in this case, is it even legal to sell?

Moving this one to NFA Guns & Gear Cdoc; I think you'll get better response there.

Sounds like a WW2 commemerative gun, like those gold plated 1911's. It's most likely semi auto, with a 16" barrel. That gun will sell just like any other regular rifle. I'm assuming there's no "Auto" selector, and thast it's a closed bolt rifle; ie, rack the bolt and let go, it should close. Have a pic for confirmation?

No picture but I'll work on that. I'll have to look at it again to see what caliber it is. There's no book with it. All I know at this point is he was in the marines, was in Korea, so this signified that era of his life. Hence the designation "USMC 078."

Assuming that it is something like this:
It is considered a standard rifle and you treat it like any other rifle based on your state laws. It is NOT a submachinegun. The value of these guns go from a few hundred dollars to $10k or more. It all depends on who wants one and how many there are.

Thanks, hkmp, that's what it looks like. I'm going to check for details tomorrow. I'm sure my friend had a different impression of the value of this piece, but isn't that how we all feel about the stuff we have?

The commemorative gun was made in a full-auto version, too. It will have a shorter barrel.

If it's new in box semi-auto, I've seen one priced at $3000.00 + tax. If it's a full-auto, you can get triple that or more. Such a gun is not mean't to be shot if it is to retain it's value. Since it is a modern production, it's not worth anywhere near a genuine M1, but a show gun is still worth a nice figure nib.
Best bet might be to auction it off at a site where rich people buy things. It just might "explode" in value!
A genuine original Thompson can bring $25,000.00 or much more to the "right" buter. I've heard (unconfirmed) that a buyer gave $250,000.00 for a real gangster type Thompson.

My dad has a 1921-28 overstamp Commercial Thompson with over 95% of the blueing still on it last he seen the price for them was 25,000 starting for a ratty one and going into the 45,000+ range bought it in 1976 for 2,000. Got it from a School teacher in Ill. lol

I've not been able to get a ballpark value on this gun. It looks exactly like the picture presented here. There is no box. The barrel does not indicate the caliber. But there are two clips; it's never been shot because there is a tag on the trigger guard indicating proof that it has not been shot. It is part of a 15-gun collection my friend had. I used the Blue Book and came up with prices in the 90-95% range. I had Cabela's look over the collection list (did not see the guns yet) and the offer was $2000 UNDER my prices, INCLUDING the Thompson. I understand they need to make a resale profit, but the deal here essentially gives the widow an average of $300 for every gun - one is a 100% Model 94 Deluxe, another is a Weatherby Deluxe Mark V - between these 2 alone I feel the values are easily $1500.
I'm getting the impression I should seel my own guns before I die so my kids don't have to go through this. Whew!

You/They might want to consider an estate auction for the guns. Might get more money.

Measure the barrel. If it is 16", the chances are 99.99% that it is a semi auto and can be sold (local law permitting) like any other rifle.
If it is 10-11 inches, then check back; it is at least a short barrel rifle and possibly a sub machinegun.

Semi auto
From reading the thread, I gather you have one of the semi auto commemoratives. Saw a price on a new (standard) Thompson at Sportsman's Warehouse last week, $1049.
Legally, it is just a semi auto rifle. I remember seeing ads for these guns years ago, and it was something like $1000-1200 when the regular gun was around $600.
Most definately, DO NOT SHOOT IT. Shooting a gun like that one will reduce it's value down to close to a USED regular model.
If you are looking to get the most value out of the gun (collection) do not sell to a dealer. Sell on consignment at a dealer, or at auction, or just sell direct (if legal in your location). If you are in a hurry, expect to take a loss.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

As has been mentioned several times, the first thing you need to do is determine if this is a machine gun or not.
Without knowing that, it is impossible to tell you it's value. Everything posted in this thread is purely a guess without knowing if this is a submachine gun or not.
There is a guy in my local club that shoots something just like you describe in our club's machine gun matches. Gold Cutts Compensator and all. I can assure you that his is full auto.
I think he paid around 14k for it within the last year. These arn't real C&R Thompsons. They were manufactured in the 80s so they don't command the price tag of a real, back in the day Thompson. But, any select fire Thompson should get you at least 10 grand. One of my best friends bought a Thomspon that was legally converted from a semi-auto Auto Ordinance gun before the ban. It looked like it was built in a 7th grade shop class at the sheltered workshop. The rear sight is welded on with chewing gum welds and looks like hell. But, he paid 9k for it.
Not that this adds much to the discussion but I know another guy that bought a commenrative (sp?) M16 with gold flash suppressor and all the bling. Yes, it was full auto. He replaced all the gold stuff with standard parts.
You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

New EUCLID UP Publication: Binding and non-binding instruments
"Binding and Non-Binding" is a much needed and anticipated guide written by experts for an audience of diplomats and specialists in international relations. It answers seemingly simple (but tricky) questions, such as "what is a treaty?" "what is ratification?" and "how can I tell if an international instrument is binding (a treaty) or not?" This book also tackles the difficult issue of the "MOU vs Treaty" classification which is extremely confusing and often leads to grave misunderstandings. Written a dynamic style with many practical examples, "Binding and Non-Binding" should be on the desk of every government official and legal analyst involved in diplomacy and global affairs. Published at the time when negotiated instruments are often misunderstood (The Copenhagen Accord, The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between the P5+1 and Iran), this authoritative textbook is a welcome instance of practical and approachable academic publishing.

Last night I received notice from www.helium.com that another the same article was purchased again by a third-party publisher.
Same circumstances as before; subcontracted for pennies-on-the-dollar of the going rate for freelance articles. We're talking payment so cheap, the article has sold TWICE and I still don't meet the "minimum withdrawl" amount at Helium.
So although my work has proven profitable, to Helium in actuality and to two publishers in theory, I haven't yet made a dime from it.
Still, it's a thrill to know my work strikes a chord with people. Just a shame that even my marginal successes (so far) come from non-fiction!
The really good news is that I still own the copyright, and as many publishers as desire can buy the same article again, furthermore I can also still submit it to magazines on my own. (Just not for First North American Rights.)
The other cool thing is that this reminded me of a fiction story idea built around the same frustrations I express in this non-fiction piece.

Any sexually busy person in the present modern world will love a penis that is sizable. This really is the reason why there's just a broad range of assorted merchandise and techniques from the market promising to increase and boost the magnitude of the person's manhood. The number ranges from manhood extenderspenile enlargement tablets, in addition to penisenlargement patch. All these promise to get not exactly 100% favorable effect – supplying higher length and also even larger girth/width of their manhood. You will find operative maintains way too, at which curious men are charged-up to US$5,000 to get one manhood enhancement surgery. Although surgical penis enhancement alternative isn't deemed a exact intelligent option, since the operation is more irreversible and maybe not really a functioning procedure.
Studies have demonstrated where operative penis enhancement surgery has had position with over 100% achievements, the effect of the operation has abandoned the sufferers from long lasting state of sexual activity bliss because of lifetime span. The truth is that many have lost their lifestyles at several severe scenarios. If manhood enlargement operation be a choice you may Want to think about, it Is Better to Inquire into the operation and comprehend the Probable effects jockstraps
Physical activities utilised from the all-natural ways of accomplishing even larger pennies dimensions also have demonstrated are the most powerful selection. This choice is frequently promoted by way of digital services and products (sound visuals) for example internet sites and DVDs. The guidelines around the audio visuals are super simple to check out since you are able to observe a functional instance to replicate. As that can be an all pure solution, probabilities of almost any injury occurring have become nominal.
The augmentation caused by natural manhood alternative can simply go up to skin, body cells muscle will make one to securely enlarge.
Whether the taste would be a more manhood or some bigger width/girth will establish the selection of workout routines to abide by. Specific physical exercises are designed to satisfy distinct person expectations – if growth in girth or length. It has to be said nevertheless that manhood sizes aren't the sole elements influencing sexual fulfilment and pleasure during intercourse.
With rising technological inventions and progress really are a comfortable daily life. Sexual fulfilment should not be omitted. Scientific investigation has demonstrated that adult men with younger penises almost certainly have grandparents and parents that had modest penises too. Opportunely, penis size really doesn't avoid any person from owning kiddies. As an issue of simple fact, manhood size wasn't a issue. Penis measurement has been publicly talked today as in accordance with analysts, most ladies in today's society today tend to review exactly the magnitude of their manhood of these spouses.
Back in earlier times it turned out to be a shameful act to get an individual to rest with over 1 person – so the magnitude of this single person (within my entire lifetime )'s manhood wasn't at the mercy of some conversation or disagreement.
Contemporary culture and attendant willingness in conversation with independence and women of sexual associations today empower females to own selections in sexual partnerships predicated on manhood size together side different factors. Thus, no gentleman wishes to truly have the lowest manhood. When some adult men still believe the magnitude of this manhood isn't quite as vital as operation in sexual activity, many others prefer to possess their manhood dimensions improved. They have an inclination to check back upon the drawback of their wellness dangers, so trusting that it may possibly perhaps not be considered a issue.

A hole in your front or back door is not only unpleasant to look at, but can get a little chilly as well. Doors are expensive and replacing them can be a time-consuming procedure. If you've recently replaced a door knob or have a small hole in your door, a little time and effort can fix it without a major renovation.
Wood Door
Step 1
Cut a piece of dowel with a hand or skill saw that is the same size as the hole -- or very close to it. Allow the dowel to be a little bit thicker, about 1/32 inch thicker, according to Renovation Headquarters, than the thickness of the door.
Step 2
Cement the dowel into the hole with exterior epoxy. If the dowel doesn't completely fill the hole, fill the gaps in with spray foam insulation.
Step 3
Let the epoxy set completely.
Step 4
Sand the dowel and epoxy down until it is flush with the door. Wipe the dust away with a tack cloth and paint or stain the door as necessary.
Metal Door
Step 1
Mix up a small batch of auto body filler according to the instructions on the can. Stir it thoroughly and add the amount of catalyst, which hardens the mixture, required by the instructions.
Step 2
Fill the hole in your metal door with the filler. Use a putty knife to add a dollop at a time.
Step 3
Scrape the filler flush with the door and allow it to cure the recommended length of time.
Step 4
Sand the filler down in crisscross patterns with 36-grit sandpaper. Sand until the surface is completely level, don't worry about it being smooth until it is level. According to Collision Blast, trying to get the finish smooth too soon can result in lumps.
Step 5
Add more filler if there are still lows and repeat the sanding process.
Step 6
Allow the filler to completely cure for about 20 minutes. Paint with a primer.
Step 7
Sand the primer with 80-grit sandpaper. Dust with a tack cloth,
Step 8
Finish with paint to blend with the rest of the door.

Canada House Reopening Foregrounds Art
Most married couples personal their properties as joint tenants, so that if certainly one of them passes away, the other one automatically owns the home. This association helps to present assurance that the surviving spouse and the household's kids will legally and financially be capable to proceed residing within the dwelling.
With more than 200 works of Canadian modern and historic artwork, design and nice craft displayed and thoughtfully built-in into the architecture at Canada Home, the value that Canadian art and cultural producers provide, and their contribution to Canadian identity, is made resoundingly clear. Hi Orchid Woman. It does seem to be depressingly true that as quickly as an important concept catches on it will get immediately less practical. That stated the cheaper, do it yourself path seems like it might be an ideal experience in itself 🙂 Thanks for reading. Excellent hub. I enjoyed the images. Numerous useful info, and the chart was extremely helpful, too.
Hi, techygran. Attending a marriage at the museum will need to have been a stunning expertise! Thanks for the comment. I hope you're in a position to visit the museum once more.

Be their secret Santa and take a meal or two over there, maybe simply goodies cause, they most likely cannot actually try this either baking can get expensive.
I recommend that your Mom have a chat with an property planner before going ahead, and perhaps the 2 of you could speak to an accountant about the best way to take care of the taxes. Hmm.

I do hope the situation between you and your daughter will get resolved soon.
Well, we now have started on the repairs, however I do not understand how we'll fare on the roof. Since these really bad storms are occurring, promoting it may have gotten easier – if we will get the roof repaired correctly. I would not want to unload it on somebody the way it was unloaded on us. Thanks to your comment. I am sorry to hear about your scenario and hope you are able to discover one thing soon. It's frustrating to see so many good individuals losing their properties due to fraudulent lending practices that were not even their fault.

Wheelys just unveiled an incredible wind and solar-powered bike cafe with a built-in air purifier that sucks in smoggy city air and releases fresh, clean air. It also transforms used coffee grounds into plant fertilizer -- allowing owners to pack the grounds into easy-to-plant seed cubes that can be buried anywhere.
We've written before about the Wheelys — a crowd-funded chain of solar-powered coffee shops mounted on the back of bicycles. It seems each generation of the eco-friendly mini-cafés just gets better and better: the newest model, the Wheelys 4 Green Warrior, takes the chain's sustainable focus further than ever before.
Like the models before, the Wheelys 4 manages to pack a full-service organic café onto the back of a bike — including all the equipment needed to make fresh coffee and a cooler for chilled beverages and snacks. However, where the older models were strictly solar-powered, this new version of the café is supplemented by a small windmill that can generate power even on overcast days.

If you're interested in opening up your own Wheelys coffee franchise, act quick — the company is currently selling the carts on IndieGoGo, and they warn that their previous crowdfunding campaigns have all completely sold out. (In fact, after the first 24 hours, the $100,000 campaign is already fully funded.) It only takes $4,499 to open up your own Wheelys café, which the company claims most franchises can easily pay off within their first month. Visit their website to learn more about how the business works, or to find a Wheelys café near you.

To John Adams from Samuel Tucker, 27 May 1778
From Samuel Tucker
Blaye May the 27 1778
I am ready for Sea and waiting for a wind after a teadious fatigueing Jobb. I heartily Congratulate you with the News of Capt. Jones takeing the Drake and make no doubt but any of us Could Compleat Such an Undertaking Was our People Unanimous but Sir their has bein a Consparicy Carred on board the Boston this three weeks Past betwen the English att Bourdeaux and my men to take the Ship to England but I Luckly Discoverd the Plot. I have Sent Mr. Livingston to town with the Evedence against them to Secure the Villians one by the Name of Wire another by the name of Watts and Mr. Munrow Who Deserted the Ship. This I done by advice of the majestrates and military offercers of this Place on Catching the Raskel with his Last Message to my People to know their minds. Those Deserters who had Run before had agreed by Perswations of the English Villians att Town to Come on board and ask my Pardon for transgresing with Pison Conceald about them and opeum. The Rascles where to Broach a Cask of water for forty Who were to be Concernd Pison the offercers by their Victles and to assasanate me by the way of a Sentenal Who was to be well Rewarded for his Vallour but thanks to god I am Seldom or Ever off my gaurd in war time Even in a family where well acquainted.
Prehaps Sir when the matter is finishd Mr. Bondefield1 will give you a Just account as my time will not Premit me to Stay my tarry has bein Long in Bourdeaux and I was almost ashamd to Write but I Cannot Boast of being well mand but my Ship is Extraordinary well fited att great Expence but hope nevertheless to pay my Country for all the Expence I Shall be att. Sir I have Received your trunk of Mr. Bondfield and hope to Deliver it with Pleasure and your Leter to Mr. Smith2 in Boston Where I hope to See your Honnour and Mast. Jack in the Course of two years but Soonner Sir you Cannot be Expected.
My Complements Sir to Mast. Jack and Mast. Jesse3 that I am Very well. Hopeing these may be Presented your Honnour and them in Like Situation. My Number of men on board is 182 men and Boys amongst which is 40 Seamen. Some of the before mentioned that I Shall take Very good Care off. Sir Your most Obedt. Humble Servt
Saml Tucker
Sir I have Just heard the Confirmation of Capt. Bidle being Sunk by the Seaford of 64 guns by Runing alongside her in the Night fired a broad Side into the Seaford taking her to be an Endiaman in the transport Service. The Seaford Returnd below and aloft blew up the Raindolph and all perrishd but two men one of which was Seen in Martinaco by a Gentleman in this Port Who Declares he had the account from that Seaman formaly of the Raindolph.4
I am Sir heartily Sorry for So fine a man—and Valliant Crew and my Contrys Loss.
RC (Adams Papers); docketed: "Captn. Tucker. May 27. 1778"; in another hand: "Capt Tucker Blay May 27. 78."
1. See Bondfield to the Commissioners, 6 June (below). Tucker wrote to the Commissioners on 28 May (Adams Papers), giving them essentially the same information contained in this letter, adding only that he had lost several crew members who had died of "Pluricy fever." For additional information on the conspiracy, see Philip Chadwick Foster Smith, Captain Samuel Tucker, Salem, 1976, p. 48–49; "Journal of William Jennison," in Charles R. Smith, Marines in the Revolution, Washington, 1975, p. 349. Although the unrest among members of Tucker's crew subsided so as to permit him to embark on his planned cruise, it resurfaced when the Boston put into Port Louis on 2 July (see James Moylan to the Commissioners, 8 July, note 2 and references there, below).
2. This letter, presumably to Isaac Smith Sr., has not been found. For the trunk put on board the Boston, see John Bondfield to JA, 28 April, note 1 (above).
3. That is, JQA and Jesse Deane.
4. Tucker's description of the destruction of the Randolph differs from other accounts but may have some substance. The Randolph, apparently after some initial confusion over the identity of its opponent, fought the 64–gun Yarmouth, which reported picking up four survivors of the explosion (Allen, Naval Hist. of the Amer. Revolution description begins Gardner Weld Allen, A Naval History of the American Revolution, Boston and New York, 1913; 2 vols. description ends , 1:296–298; see also the accounts in William Vernon Sr. to JA, 20 May, above; William Bingham to the Commissioners, 29 May, below). That Tucker's account came from two survivors on Martinique is questionable in view of William Bingham's letter of 29 May from that island, which makes no mention of the two men. However, since the Yarmouth would not have taken the rescued men to Martinique, there could have been two additional survivors unknown to it and, perhaps, even to Bingham. Moreover, although it was more usual for Indiamen, because of their size and rows of painted gunports, to be mistaken for ships of the line, to reverse the mistake does not seem improbable.

For the first six millennia of mankind's "relationship" with beer, brewers were more like chefs than they have been during the last 500 years.
Ancient brewers used available grains to create fermentable sugars and then balanced that flavor with a bevy of ingredients used as bittering agents. Flowers, herbs, berries, roots and even mushrooms were employed by early brewmasters. The first use of hops is credited to Bohemian brewers in the 8th or 9th century, but the practice was far from universal. A medieval drinker was more likely to sip beer flavored with heather, dandelion or even moss.
It was left to the Germans to try to bring some order to this situation. In 1489, Bamberg's Prince Bishop Heinrich III decreed that "nothing other than hops, malt and water" be used in brewing beer for the good people of Franconia. In 1516, the Reinheitsgebot spread these rules to the rest of Bavaria. Soon, most brewers abandoned the spice rack in favor of exclusively using hops.
There are traditional exceptions to the rule. Belgian brewers have long thumbed their noses at their rigid German neighbors. Some brews from Scandinavia, the British Isles and elsewhere around Europe continued to use various spices and bittering ingredients, along with hops. In the Americas, native and colonial brewers gathered a laundry list of ingredients to make beer—everything from pumpkin to spruce. The modern wave of domestic craft holiday and seasonal brews that utilize spices married to the time of year has opened the minds of many brewers to the benefits of garden-inspired brews.
Sam Calagione at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware has been one of the innovators when it comes to using garden ingredients in beers. A partial list of the spices, fruits and vegetables used by Dogfish Head includes cumin, coriander, cloves, spearmint, peppermint, three kinds of peppercorns, juniper berries, St. John's wort, thyme, lemongrass, vanilla beans, licorice root, nutmeg, cardamom, tamarillos, za'taar, chamomile, allspice, cinnamon, mace, grains of paradise, various teas, pineapple, mint, salt and lavender.
I have a few favorites. You get different flavors and aromas from different peppercorns, which is nice. We use juniper berries in two beers―Sah'tea and Immort―and I love the lemongrass in our Namaste," says Calagione.
Not all experiments with garden ingredients work out. In 1996, Calagione made a beer with lavender buds, but "added too much and freaked people out." Calagione's first homebrew in 1993 used cherries and he says it turned out great. But his third homebrewed batch included peppercorns and he says he added "too much and it sucked." This did not dissuade Calagione from using spices. His first commercial batch at Dogfish Head was Punkin Ale with allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Calagione advises homebrewers working with garden ingredients to go low and slow in building a recipe. "Make a tea with it before brewing. This will better allow you to recognize the flavors and aromas it is bound to contribute and its intensity," he says, noting that you want "the right presence in flavor and aroma, without being overpowering."
Sage Advice
Craftsman Brewing in California has won awards for its Triple White Sage ale. Mark Jilg, who founded Craftsman in 1995, says his goal in using sage was to build a unique beer around a locally-sourced ingredient from the nearby foothills and show that a beer could be interesting without having to be extreme.
We try to be subtle and refined in the things we do," Jilg says. "When you add a new ingredient it complicates things. When it comes to our Triple White Sage, some people have a hard time finding the flavor, while it jumps right out for some other people."
We use sage as a sort of late addition hop. It shows up big in the aroma and some in the flavor," Jilg says. He says the beer is part of Craftsman Brewing's response to what he perceives as a "real problem" in the craft beer community between "consumption and appreciation."
Conceptually, craft beer is perceived as high quality. But there is quite a bit of effort put into being the most talked-about beer by making extreme beers," Jilg says. "There is an underlying aesthetic to craft beer that is getting lost. We are driven by younger legal drinkers as an industry, and it is hard to pitch subtlety and refinement when much of this audience wants the biggest and strongest. We end up racing to being the biggest and most extreme."
Mitch Steele, head brewer at Stone Brewing in California, says the brewery's use of garden ingredients got its start before he joined the company. Much of the experimentation took place with Stone's cask-aging program.
Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle emerged from one of these tests. The peppers are added in the secondary and are steeped for three days in a bag. The result is a twist on Stone Smoked Porter that has a trailing heat that does not dominate the flavor.
Steele's advice to those considering brewing a garden beer? "Go light," he urges. "Every time we've done something new we have overdone it the first time. It takes time to dial in just the right flavor."
With brewers spending more time in the garden and the growing season fast upon us, there is a good chance that your next beer might just have a spicy note.

Them. Interesting moniker. It's the title of a King Diamond album. It is also a pronoun. And, apparently, three metalheads from Vänersborg, Sweden answer to that name as well. Formed in 2008, Pronoun are here with their second demo, "Unhallowed". With a sucky introduction like this, can the demo be any good? Well, fuck me with a chimpanzee – yes it can. It can be fucking awesome.
I get the same feeling from this band that I get from Dissection or Watain. The mixture of black atmosphere, melancholic and otherworldly melodies, and heavy metal riffage and attitude is and always will be a winner. Black/death/heavy metal with an ambiance and feel that ascends mere life and welcomes the majestic blackness of death with the grace and pride that only honest and true conviction can bring. OK, enough with the bullshit pseudo-philosophical crap, let's get real here.
Drummer Micke Backelin of Lord Belial fame is a member of Them but isn't featured on this disc for some reason (maybe he had to take out the trash). The drums are programmed, but they do their job. It's only a demo, after all, and the production overall is adequate for a self-release. The bass sounds OK and the guitars have a nice aura of indistinction to them, the slight over-distortion enhancing the overtones and filling up the soundscape. The riffs we're dealt range from straight-forward metal grooves to desolate melodies to dissonant chords and tremolo attacks (coupled with blasting). The vocals are great. Gravelly mid-to-high-pitched barking, with the occasional clean part. Choir and orchestra samplings heighten the atmosphere immensely, but the movie samples (from "Omen", I guess) I could've lived without.
The selling point of this demo is for sure the atmosphere. Pitch-black, oppressive and menacing; all riffs, vocal lines, samplings, drum patterns etc are only tools for conjuring the right mood. Just as it should be. The five songs display variation and every track is quality throughout. Kudos for being brave enough to insert the triumphant outro track "Ravenous" in all its major key glory; the "happy" chords and melodies bring a great contrast to the somber feel of the other songs.
"Unhallowed" is the best demo I've heard in ages. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from Them (pun (?) intended) in the future. If these guys aren't signed anytime soon, I guess I'll have to start my own record label and release Their full-length, if They want. Them bitches. Penis. Look this shit up, fuckos. This carries the torch of '90s black/death/heavy metal into the '10s. Them good.

Planting mums in the fall
I love planting mums in the fall. How can I get them to come back next year?
Everyone loves the color of mums in the fall and that is often when people plant them. But, the reality is that the best time to plant mums is in the spring!
Now, I'm sure you are saying, "But you can't buy mums in the spring." Not so. They are available at garden centers, but I have found that you need to ask for them. The reason for planting in the spring is so that the roots have time to become well established. Mums planted in the fall do not fare nearly as well, especially in harsh winters.
One other factor to consider is the type of mum you purchase. Often chrysanthemums are grouped into two types – floral mums and garden mums. Floral mums often have large blooms and should be treated as annuals. Some examples are pompon, quill or spider mums. They are not winter hardy. Garden mums, however, are hardy in our zone given the proper care and establishment of a strong root system.
Mums (or chrysanthemums) grow well in most well-prepared garden soils that are well-drained and have lots of organic matter. During their early growth, shoots need to be pinched back a couple of times to produce lateral branches. On some of my well established mums, I like to use shears to cut off the blossoms and shape the plant. I generally pinch blossoms or shear back the plants until around the 4th of July. They need to be regularly watered and fertilized lightly.
To help garden mums survive the winter, don't purchase one in full bloom. While it's nice to have the instant color, the plant's energy is going into blooming and not on getting roots established . Mums need mulch for winter protection. Mulch will help keep the soil uniformly cold after it has been frozen in order to prevent the soil from heaving the plant out of the ground thereby killing the roots. The best time to apply mulch is in late November or early December when the temperatures have been below freezing. When the foliage has died, I cut the dead blooms off, and leave most of the stems. Research has shown that garden mums survive better if old growth is left standing through the winter. Apply a thick layer of mulch such as chopped leaves, pine needles, straw, etc. When the threat of frost is over in the spring, pull back the mulch to allow new growth to come through. Prune back the old stems in the spring.

CLAREMONT, CA – Sarah Wright concluded her decorated Caltech track and field career by re-setting the school's heptathlon record at the ClaremontMuddScripps Classic.
The senior scored 4201 points which surpassed her previous school record of 4109 she set at the CSUN multi-event two months ago. In addition to her school record, her total score is an NCAA provisional qualifying score.
She started the event with the 100 meter hurdles. Her time of 15.94 was nearly a full second faster than her time in that same event during the CSUN heptathlon in March. Wright followed that by clearing the bar at 4' 9 1/2" in the high jump.
During the third event on the first day of competition, she set a personal best mark in the shot put. Her throw of 33' 3 3/4" was 16 inches farther than her previous high. Wright concluded the opening day by running the 200 meter dash in 26.96 which was faster than her previous March time.
The second day of competition started with the long jump where she lept 15' 10 1/4". During the javelin throw she increased her distance from her CSUN distance by over six feet as she recorded a throw of 108'6". The final event saw her clock a time of 2:37.77 as she clinched the school record.

Superb bowling by the Mirfield Parish Cavaliers openers sent Batley crashing to defeat in the Central Yorkshire League Premier Division.
The opening pair of Nazar Hussain and Daniel Hope were assisted by a damp pitch as they combined to dismiss Batley for a paltry 48 last Saturday.
Hussain claimed 5-22 and Hope 5-21 as Batley were bowled out inside 18 overs and although Parish lost six wickets in reply they edged to victory which moves them out of the relegation zone.
Four top-flight sides failed to make three figures batting first on an afternoon which saw several early finishes.
Hunslet Nelson slipped to third-bottom after they were dismissed for 82, with Ravinda Palliyaguruge claiming 4-13 and lost by four wickets against Wakefield Thornes.
Anureg Verma (6-53) and Conor Harvey (3-30) helped Townville dismiss Wrenthorpe for 83 before completing a nine-wicket win with Jonny Booth unbeaten on 47.
Victory keeps Townville hot on the heels of leaders Methley as the season reaches halfway this weekend.
Thomas Chippendale claimed 5-36 and Charles Orme 5-25 as Ossett dismissed Altofts for 62.
Chippendale then smashed 46 from 21 balls, including three fours and four sixes, as Ossett raced to their victory target in just 8.4 overs.
Methley remain four points clear of Townville at the top of the Premier Division following a 138-run victory over Birstall.
Richard Foster hit 76 at the top of the Methley innings, including 11 fours and a six, as he shared a 133-run second wicket stand with Luke Patel.
Fahid Rehman (86no) continued to plunder the Birstall bowling attack, hitting 10 fours and four sixes as he added a further 158 runs in an unbroken third-wicket stand of 158.
Patel ended unbeaten on 107, having hit 13 fours and three sixes, as Methley closed on 298-2.
Birstall were in deep trouble at 70-8 in reply as Marcus Walmsley (3-26) and Patel (3-29) impressed before Eric Austin and Paul Blakeley added respectability to the Birstall score.
Austin made 59 on his final home appearance for Birstall, while Blakeley ended 63 not out as they were eventually bowled out for 160.
Defeat leaves Birstall sixth in the table, while Austin has scored 11,902 Central Yorkshire League runs during his 18 seasons and he returns to his native New Zealand after this Saturday's game away to Wakefield Thornes.
On a day of low scores, Carlton bucked the trend racking up 368-6 on their way to a 134-run victory over Buttershaw St Pauls.
Stephen Cooper led the way with 108 for Carlton, who are up to seventh place, a point behind Birstall after 10 matches.

So I have found a new job and the diet is going, well, it's a little up and down, but mostly down from the initial, and I certainly feel a bit better.
Weirdly, the job is literally upstairs from where I was, so aside from the extra steps, my routine will likely be the same. Which is a positive both in terms of health and keeping up with the exercise, and also not being so stressed out that my butt falls off.
Going to keep this short as I've posted some other stuff and well, I need to do a more up-to-date entry and see how my weight has been. Hopefully new job anxiety has at least served the positive of making me too nervous to eat. On the other hand, compared to what I was doing during my notice period, I don't think anything can be as bad stress-wise.
I hope I'm right about that.

In an xpcshell test, I recently needed a way to monitor all network requests and access both request and response data so I can save them for later use. This required a little bit of digging in Mozilla's devtools code so I thought I'd write a short blog post about it.
This code will be used in a testcase that ensures that calendar providers in Lightning function properly. In the case of the CalDAV provider, we would need to access a real server for testing. We can't just set up a few servers and use them for testing, it would end in an unreasonable amount of server maintenance. Given non-local connections are not allowed when running the tests on the Mozilla build infrastructure, it wouldn't work anyway. The solution is to create a fakeserver, that is able to replay the requests in the same way. Instead of manually making the requests and figuring out how the server replies, we can use this code to quickly collect all the requests we need.
Without further delay, here is the code you have been waiting for:

Once again, Leftists and their supporters in the media claim a crisis exists, when it really doesn't, all to push their global warming agenda.
The current number of fires in the Amazon are only a few percentage points higher than the ten-year average. Many of the fires are set by farmers to clear their own fields, not areas of virgin timber, and the there is absolutely no threat to the earth's oxygen supply due to the supposed "lungs of the earth" being on fire. It is just one more propaganda hoax from the American LEFT:

The sweet 'mistakes' of my life
Like it's always been, my two new dogs found me. I didn't go looking for them. In fact, I was busy muttering to myself: No more dogs, no more dogs. But in November last year, in the freezing cold, came in a puppy, all of a month or so old, materializing literally on my doorstep, braving the wrath of Older Dog (the terrier named Yoyo). He was promptly adopted, as there was a slot free, with Senior Older Dog Snoopy having passed on some months ago. We named him Jugnu (which means firefly in Hindi/Urdu).
A month later, a creamy white creature, all of two months old, stuck to me on my walk. I firmly avoided eye contact (that really does you in)...and even vaguely shooed him away. But he walked so firmly with me, that it was clear he had a clearer idea of destiny's game-plan than I did. I made the mistake of looking at his eyes. They were the cutest jet black buttons, full of urgent hope that I would recognize him as my own!
This one was named nothing for a while, because we sort of fooled ourselves that we would fatten him up and give him to someone. Looking in their eyes and naming them - sure way of being hooked. And hooked we are. So this one is Bertie (as in Wooster, don't ask why...later I thought of Masoom and Rumi, or Toby but by this time Bertie was answering to his name). Yoyo wasnt pleased at all, but Jugnu was thrilled - as you can see from this photograph, Jugnu really took him under his wing! They are about ten months old now, and do not fit into that chair together anymore.
Having them has meant realigning my life, adding a second gate so that they dont rush out into neighbours' homes, cooking vast quantities of food, having favourite footwear, artefacts, plants, furniture, etc chewed up, major maintenance work like brushing, bathing, walking, vet visits...I didn't plan to get so tied up again, for sure. But as they say...Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. I'm not complaining!
All my dogs have come to me in this pre-planned manner - meaning they and their Maker plan, and I fall in line - the first one many years ago came by plane, the other one came off a rubbish heap, the third one (current eldest) literally jumped into my car via the window, and now these two.

Luciano Gheerotti
This beautiful, elegant INDog just joined the Club. He lives in Mumbai with owners Sanjay Nair and Maya Menon.
Luciano was born in the garage of their building just over three years ago. Puppies there often take shelter under cars and get run over accidentally, which is why at an early age Luciano was left with no siblings. Before long he too met with an accident and both his hind legs were injured, leaving him semi-paralysed. Sanjay and Maya rushed him to a vet for treatment, and after ten days of physiotherapy and home care the pup was up and running around again.
Since both Sanjay and Maya are out at work for several hours a day they decided they wouldn't be able to keep Luciano at home, and made many attempts to put him back in the building yard. But Luciano kept coming up to their flat, and finally started actually placing his head in front of one of their car tyres to prevent them from driving away! He did this more than once, so it certainly was an intentional act whatever his thought process may have been.
After this display of uncanny intelligence the couple naturally succumbed and Luciano moved into their home permanently. For a dog with such a "gangster" kind of name he certainly has a very angelic expression (of course it's also an "opera" kind of name!) A brief translation for those unfamiliar with Indian cuisine: "ghee rotti" means clarified butter with Indian bread - one of his favourite snacks. Carrying on the culinary theme, he was given the nickname "loochee," a Bengali delicacy this time!

Kutti Boy
Dogs like Kutti Boy are common in plantation areas, where irresponsible owners let their purebreed dogs mix freely with the local INDogs. This not only mongrelizes the native dog population, it creates a host of unwanted puppies who are then heartlessly abandoned to their fate.
This endearing young mix-breed had a very sad life until dog-lover Peggy Rustomji came to his rescue. He is now living with her on her coffee plantation in Kodaikanal, and has two other dogs for company, Gilly and Minnie.
Peggy tells us his story:
Who can account for a twist of Fate? Is that how Kutti Boy and I came together? He was for sale as a "jadhi" (purebred). Rani came to me with this news one morning adding a sad tale of his present condition. Yesu to whom he had been given to sell, could not look after him. His diet was left over sambar and rice, and his accommodation the goat shed.
I have never bought a dog in my life, and those I have kept through the years have all been of the Heinz 57, mutt variety. However, even without seeing him, something touched my heart and prompted me to succumb. The next morning, money paid, Rani brought a furry, bedraggled, confused dog into our lives, name not known. He was being called Kutti, the all purpose appendage to an unknown dog. I added BOY to give him an identity.
This is Kutti Boy's story. One day a young girl on her way home found a young puppy whining in the gutter. She picked him up and brought him home. For the next nine months he was her pet, and whatever name he was then given, it spelt comfort.
The time came for the family to leave, and leave Kutti Boy. He now had to become street-smart and a survivor. Garbage was his diet and home. He was found snuffling in it when the garbage van came to collect it to be taken away. The question is, was he thrown into the van intentionally, or landed there to be tipped out onto the garbage pit in the village, where the driver of the van had a brother. When he saw this dog, who with a stretch of the imagination could be passed off as "jadhi," he was quick to see the possibility of a quick buck.
We discovered Kutti Boy's "jadhi-ness" was threefold, which put together made him into a handsome dog. His hind legs are slender and not at all strong, he expands upwards into a barrel chest with a neck supporting a collie head. His colouring is divided into black, brown and white. He has a bushy white tail that is his "crowning" glory! Half of one ear has been cut off, and he has lost some teeth. What other traumas he has known we shall never know. But with care, love, security, and a lady playmate to boot, we hope he will continue to bond. He is already taking on his responsibilities as a caretaker and friend, and he is generous with his love.
He is a gift.

Mumdi joins the Club
This is Mumdi, the newest member of the Club. He is ten years old and lives in Mumbai with Aditi Raut's family.
Mumdi was abandoned by someone near Aditi's house when he was about five months old. It was raining heavily and people were being cruel to him. A kind man saved his life and started keeping him as a semi-pet, but as his house was very small he couldn't keep Mumdi inside at night.
Meanwhile Aditi had been trying to persuade her mother to adopt the pup. After a year and a half her mother finally agreed. That's how Mumdi became a full-time pet dog.
His original saviour comes over to walk him every day, so this lucky dog is always surrounded by people who are crazy about him!

Capital punishment for an Indian dog
This news item was forwarded to me recently by some animal lovers. If you click on the image and enlarge it you will be able to read the article by Giridhar Jha of Patna, Bihar. It's about a seven year old Indian dog called Chhotu who lives in Purnea district, Bihar. Chhotu is actually facing legal proceedings and a death sentence for defending his elderly owner Rajkumari Devi against goons in her village who want to grab her property. It seems the villagers have declared him a "mad dog" (whatever that is supposed to mean) and a death sentence has already been awarded. However, he recently appeared before the Sub Divisional Magistrate, who did not find any signs of mental instability. In fact every morning Chhotu leads his owner's five goats to the fields to graze and then brings them home again: hardly the behaviour of a "mad" dog.
Chhotu's next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow (August 5). In spite of being impoverished Rajkumari Devi has hired a local lawyer Mr Dilip Kumar Deepak to represent the dog. If he fails to prove Chhotu's innocence or get the death sentence revoked, Chhotu will be put down.
Rishi Dev:
At this juncture prospects for Rajkumari Devi and Chhotu seem dim but if you agree that Chhotu's "Right to life" shouldn't be toppled by a bunch of goons then now is the chance to make your opinion count. All I ask of you is that you contact the following dignitaries and Heads of Offices in Bihar, for they hold the key to averting this impending tragedy.
A call, an SMS or simply an email from you to the concerned authorities can bring respite to this ageing widow and her four-legged son.
In addition making plentiful calls to the local media would persuade them to publicize this issue and garner sentiments in favour of Chhotu.
Remember Chhotu faces his "judgment day" on August 5, 2008.

Rocket and Gobbers: the terrible two!
If you've been coming here for a while you'll probably remember these two. Last year (October 30) I posted photos of young Gobbers, then known as Goblin, sitting inside a soup bowl. Also the first photo here, of him sleeping snuggled up to Rocket. Well, as expected Gobbers has grown rather a lot since then and has also grown really superb-looking. I hear from his owner Anuradha Gupta that his behaviour is, er, feisty, but then he is still very young and will perhaps calm down over time.
I love the totally different expressions and body language of these two dogs as they look out of the balcony. Gobbers absolutely alert and watchful - has another dog dared to enter his territory? And Rocket soulful, gentle and meditative as always.
Photos: Sanjay Sarkar, Anuradha Gupta
He was abandoned by his mother on the streets of Delhi and caught my brother's eye while he was roaming around the hostel my brother lived in. My brother fed him for a few days and then decided to take him in.
Everyone in the hostel loved Wolfi and would play with him. But after about ten months the pup had grown quite a bit and the hostel authorities told my brother to put him back on the streets.
Of course my brother loved Wolfi too much to do that. Also since he lived in a hostel he had bought the pup non-vegetarian food like chicken from a hotel nearby. Because of this Wolfi would not eat anything else, not even bread or rice.
My brother then called up my mom and told her the situation...and within two days Wolfi was at our Mumbai home!! Over here we had some problems as he would not eat anything but eventually he learnt to drink milk and eat some rice along with meat.
Now after three years Wolfi has become very friendly with us, has learnt to eat different things and lives on happily!!!!

We've had someone knocking at the basement door every daylight hour. Or shall I say, pecking at the window? Mr. Robin pecks and flutters and flies up. Over and over and over again.
It's a little disconcerting, this infernal knocking. The truth of the matter is he's in love with his reflection. He's fallen head-over-heels in love. He's dreaming of making nests, having babies and delivering worms to his love and offspring. He's smitten.
All day yesterday he pecked and preened and begged his love to respond. All day long our window refused to yield her position.
When I returned from work this morning Barry had penned a message: "The robin is still at it." Alas. I had tried to put a vacuum cleaner in front of the sliding glass door yesterday, in hopes he'd get the idea. Alas. He did not.
Finally a brilliant idea struck. I scurried outside and placed our two ash buckets (plus a random cardboard box) in front of the window–on the outside of the house.
Hurray! He got the idea! He's stopped pecking and robin-dancing and attempting to mate with the window. We're hoping he finds Mrs. Robin soon. And maybe we'll even get a glimpse of those robin blue eggs in the nest a short while from now.
If anyone is waiting for a photo of the wild anemone, the first lovely white flower to grace our woodlands…click on this link. You'll not witness one in this blog, yet. Our flandrumhill posted on her blog that the wild coltsfoot are blooming in Nova Scotia! My mouth dropped clear to the ground. WE haven't seen any wildflowers. Have we, Cindy?
But, good sleuth that I am, I went searching today for our first wildflower.
Alas. None to be yet discovered, at least not in the usual places. We shall wait with expectancy.
I did discover flies. Lots of them, on my car. They, too, were doing their mating dances. Ahhh, springtime in the north woods!
P.S. I'm hosting Book Club here tonight. Can you imagine what we're reading and discussing this evening? The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. Very appropriate, I should say. Must go finish cleaning the house NOW!
P.S.S. Almost forgot the most exciting thing! It's 74 degrees right now, at 6 p.m. Ahhh…earthly delight…

Just to let you know, I have baked the apple and banana loaf tonight - it has nearly finished cooking and looks and smells gorgeous.
Can't wait to taste some! Thank you for the recipe.
Best wishes
Peppa, Thomas and Dora..I see your English children are quite similar to our Australian ones... ;)ReplyDelete
I love this.ReplyDelete
Reminds me of this beautiful poem:
After Theodore Roethke
I have known the inexorable sadness of children's shoes,
squat in their boxes, scuffed after five minutes' wearing,
the incalculable tristesse of Thomas the Tank Engine slippers,
DayGlo blue nylon with immutable plastic badges,
and the cost of all this which is sleeplessness, vomit and Dettox spray,
rage of shoelace tying,
bottom wiping, yoghurt scraping, Ribena mopping,
as you try, one hand glued to your hair, your mouth burning
with sores, to speak politely on the telephone
to the woman who is buying your house,
the doctor who says don't bend, the friend who is just back from Prague
your mother who begins, 'Well, in my day...
And I have seen dust collect under their beds, there is nothing
I can do to prevent it, visions of gin, gallons of it, before breakfast,
incomprehensible gobbledegook of Tommee Tippee instructions,
Tixylix, dawn-light of Calpol, poignancy of vests in their packets,
blockage of buggies in swing doors
and heartbreak of stories by the fire,
Granpa, Peepo!, Peace at Last, the firelight wavering
and breathing slowing to a pulse
that overcomes you with drowsiness,
the furies of your life ebbing as the story, here, now, unfurls,
grows, is fixed, not a word omitted or changed,
by stories are we known and do tell ourselves, daddy,
I'm tired now please, carry me, you forgot vitamins, to bed.

Lottie, thank you so much for sharing this poem with me. It is beautiful and moving and so right. I have not come across this poet before. It really touched a nerve with me (we read Peepo only a few days ago!) and the bit about the doctor who says "don't bend" - you have to laugh so you don't cry.Delete
Really, thank you for sharing this poem. x
Ahhh, bless him, totally captivated with his toys and books.ReplyDelete
