The Hill: Opinion- Bill Press: Who's The Real Liberal- Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders?

You want to talk about European social democracy and Far-Left socialist politics in America, or do you want to talk about Center-Left pragmatic progressive and liberal politics in America? If you want democratic socialism and social democracy, Bernie Sanders other than Representative Dennis Kucinich in 2004 and 2008, hands down is the most socialist major party candidate for president ever. You can't out socialist and socialist especially if you're not a Socialist, which Hillary Clinton obviously isn't. But if you want to talk about the American Center-Left which in Europe would be the Center-Right and perhaps even further right like in Germany with the Free Liberal Democrats, Hillary Clinton hands down is the real and only Progressive and in the presidential race.
This is the danger with lumping in everything on the Left into one political faction and calling everybody the same thing. Communists aren't Liberals and neither are Democratic Socialists. Liberals are people who believe in equal opportunity, rights and justice for all and individual freedom for all based on the liberal values I just mentioned. Not a big government big enough to manage people's lives for them. Bernie Sanders and other Socialists go much further than that and say that individual freedom and rights are not enough. And believe in welfare rights based around a big centralized welfare state and that people have a right to essentially to not be poor and be taken care of with their money by government.
So of course Hillary Clinton is more progressive than Bernie Sanders, because she's not a Socialist. The test to see who is more progressive than the other is not this inside the beltway game about who is the furthest left. But who has stronger progressive values. Who has a better record in seeing that those values become law and come into being. Not who is going to tax and spend the most, but who is going to accomplish the policy objectives that Progressives believe in. And again hands down and even though Hillary Clinton's only service in Congress was her eight years in the Senate which is less than a third of Bernie's time in Congress and Bernie is in his 26th year in Congress and served in the House before the Senate, Hillary has a better record of accomplishing progressive objectives. Which is why she has so many more endorsements from actual Progressive Democrats. Like from House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn and I could go on.

-Interview- Highwater (12/12/22)
Highwater talks about their unique Southern Rock style, the Louisiana music scene and much more.
www.facebook.com/highwaterbandofc
From: Louisiana
Sounds like: Rock
Highwater · Junky - Demo Track
Highwater · Reason to Pray - Demo Track
1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound? Who thought of the name "Highwater" and is there any meaning behind it?
Byron Bujol: Music has always been a love of mine. I started playing guitar when I was In the Marine Corps, and when I came back home for good, some friends of mine had gotten together and started playing at one of their houses. It was a weird mixture at first. You had me, who grew up on old Country and Southern Rock n Roll, a guitarist who came from Blues and Seattle Grunge Rock, and a bassist and drummer who played mostly rock. But it felt good, and most importantly, it worked. We just needed a name for the band. In 2016, my entire hometown of Denham Springs, LA was pretty much underwater from a once in a lifetime flood. All our family and friends had multiple feet of water in their homes and businesses. Of course, everyone's music gear, mine included, was also flooded. So, the name "Highwater" just seemed like a perfect fit. We had to make some member changes over the years, but I can honestly say we're more Highwater now than ever before.
We just want people to feel the same energy that we're putting into our songs. Music that people can relate to. Something with substance.
Southern Rock with a modern twist. When we're not playing our original music, we like to take songs people know and add our own unique spin on it. You won't hear us do a song note for note like you hear a lot of other bands doing. We do our best to make whatever we're playing our own unique sound. The goal is for our fans to hear songs that sound familiar, yet at the same time, unfamiliar. If people at our shows aren't going home saying, "Highwater played "x" song, but did you hear the way they played it?!", then we're doing something wrong.
Wow, that's a hard one. Three? Marcus King Band, Whiskey Myers and The Steel Woods.
We honestly feel like COVID worked out in our favor. Louisiana was under lockdown, bars weren't open, and the ones that were open, weren't open very late which means there was almost nothing going on in the Louisiana live music scene. In our opinion, Highwater really became Highwater at the peak of the pandemic. Our first real gig was in the parking lot of Big Mike's Sports Bar and Grill in Denham Springs, LA once people were allowed to be out and about. When the bars finally opened, people were itching to get out and see live bands. We started gaining momentum quickly and went from playing parking lot gigs to sharing the stage with well-known bands in places like The Texas Club, Downtown Sounds Festival, and even headlining shows like Flora-Bama. The past 2 years has been a wild ride to say the least.
6. What's your take on the current state of Rock?
We could talk about this topic all day long, but we'll just sum it up and say that the ones who should be at the top right now aren't getting the recognition they deserve. The good news is that a lot of those underdogs are finally starting to work their way up and getting noticed, which we're excited to see. We were staring to get a bit worried about the direction Rock music was headed.
7. What's the current music scene like there in Louisiana?
It can be a hit or miss depending on where you go and what you like. Baton Rouge has a totally different scene compared to New Orleans, Lafayette, etc. It's a cool spot to be in though. We play with such a variety of artists and have gained some awesome friends because of it. It's a friendly business, and we all support and help each other out. To top it off, we have the best and most loyal fans anyone could ask for! We wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
I think they could definitely pay out more to the artists, but at the end of the day, it's a business, and we as artists know what signed up for.
9. What's next for Highwater?
Now that we have the right people in place, we're going to be unstoppable. So, who knows? Right now, the focus is on our upcoming album and hitting the road for a tour!!
Oh, hell yeah! Shoutout to our dear friend Josh Burns, owner of Fred's on the River, who helped jumpstart Highwater. You were the best person we knew, and a great friend. You are severely missed! R.I.P. buddy! "Nothing but love". We also want to give a shoutout to our loyal fans. The list is long, so we won't write it out, but if you're reading this, you know who you are! Shoutout to our friends at Parish County Line, Kyle Wilson, Chris LeBlanc Band, and Michael McCall! Keep on rockin'!

There are many inspirations in life and sometimes it's good to take a step back and observe. Art is very subjective and we love how a piece of artwork can have one meaning to one person and a completely different one to someone else.
How a piece of art is seen and how it makes you feel were our thoughts when we first discussed the idea of designing a bag that was more than simply aesthetically pleasing. We wanted our creation to evoke both thoughts of adventure and feelings of serenity while also having a strong personal appeal.
The Koey plaque was designed not only for it's overall look but also for it's unique detailing. As you look closer you can see swirling lines and curves, objects and movement. These, like all good art, evoke a variety of responses, depending on the viewer.
People ask what does it mean, or what is it? We simply invite you to have a closer look. How does it speak to you? Essentially there is no correct answer. However, given time, we hope the meaning will evolve for everyone who owns their own piece of Beara Beara art.


When your kitchen catches fire in the luxury hotel in which you work and the newly jilted head waiter runs amok with a cleaver just as the general manager walks in with his young family for lunch – and it's Christmas Day, you want someone like Christine Parkinson on hand to steady the ship. A tried-and-tested industry veteran, Parkinson was on course for the world of astrophysics (she studied maths and physics) when she fell, as so many do, into the world of wine and hospitality. Starting as a chef, then a food-and-beverage manager, Parkinson created the first wine list for modern Cantonese restaurant Hakkasan when it opened in 2001, followed by one of the first saké lists in the UK for Japanese restaurant and bar, Sake No Hana in St James's. Hailed by Jancis Robinson MW as "one of the most creative wine buyers in the UK", Parkinson is the head of the Hakkasan Group's wine and saké buying worldwide, juggling an extraordinary portfolio of labels and flavours in one of the most lauded restaurant groups anywhere in the world. Her lists have been similarly praised by a wide variety of publications – not least Wine List Confidential, which described her list as deep and detailed with quirky titles such as 'Curious Vines: Distinctive Wines', and for Champagne, 'Late Disgorged'. A consummate wine educator, not only of the staff under her charge but the trade and public at large, she is a certified WSET educator, and has run wine and saké courses for the staff at Hakkasan's restaurants on three continents. When not sipping on Honey Jun – the "Champagne of kombuchas" – Parkinson is never happier than with cheese on toast and a glass of blanc de blancs Champagne.

Keifer Sykes, Spurs agree on training camp contract, per report
Its unlikely the undersized point guard earns a spot in the final roster but he could be an interesting prospect for the Austin Spurs.
By Jesus Gomez Aug 7, 2015, 9:15pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Keifer Sykes, Spurs agree on training camp contract, per report
The Spurs have signed Keifer Sykes, according to Real GM's Shams Charania.
Sykes spent his four years in college at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The 6'0" point guard averaged 18 points, over four rebounds and four assists on his senior year but couldn't lead his team to the tournament. He was a very productive player at the NCAA level, finishing his career with averages of 16 points, four rebounds and four assists on 45 percent shooting. Questions about his ability to defend at the NBA level due to his lack of length and whether or not he could run a team after being a scorer for his squad are the main reasons he went undrafted.
Sykes is in a lot of ways very similar to Bryce Cotton, a player the Spurs invited to camp last season. They are both short for the point guard position but incredibly athletic. While Cotton is considered to be a better shooter, Sykes did average over 40 percent from outside his sophomore year. Without the burden of being a first option, he might be able to regain that ability to connect from beyond the arc. If he does, he could eventually make the league as a spot up player who can attack closeouts and finish at the rim.
He averaged a shade over nine points, three rebounds and one assist on 18 minutes per game in Summer League as a member of the Cavaliers' squad.
While details about Sykes' contract have not been disclosed, it's almost certain he only has a small guarantee, making him a camp body that could be allocated to Austin. With the signing the Spurs have 18 players under contract. Teams can carry a maximum of 20 players during the offseason, which means the camp roster is almost complete.

Currently, the most common treatment options for pancreatic cancer include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. These treatment options are not specific to the cause of the disease and therefore result in a large number of side effects including nausea, fatigue, hair loss, etc. The use of oligonucleotides may be a more efficient and safe method of cancer therapy. This mini-review will cover how oligonucleotides have been used to treat diseases in the past as well as different methods for delivery into the body and finally the applications of oligonucleotides in pancreatic cancer therapy.

Oligonucleotides as potential therapeutic agents
Oligonucleotides are explored as drugs to treat different diseases by developing platforms with two major types of oligonucleotides: single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides and double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNA). Some oligonucleotides bind to splice sites on pre-mRNAs, resulting in the skipping of mutation-containing exons in disease. While other oligonucleotides bind targeting RNA based on sequence homology, recruiting RISC (RNA-Induced Silencing Complex) to induce the cleavage of target mRNA and thereby reduce the expression of the target protein.
Disease treatment with oligonucleotides can be previously seen in Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, a disease caused by a frameshift mutation in exon 51 of the dystrophin gene creating a nonfunctional protein through alternative splicing [1,2]. The drug Eteplirsen uses an oligonucleotide that skips the exon 51, correcting the frameshift mutation and thereby creating a functional protein. Contrastingly, an example of exon inclusion can be seen in the treatment of Spinal Muscle Atrophy. This disease is caused by a frameshift mutation in the SMN1 gene, in which exon 7 is skipped, leading to the decay in mRNA and no SMN1 protein. Although the SMN2 gene produces a very similar protein to SMN1, the SMN2 protein is nonfunctional. The drug Nusinersen uses an oligonucleotide complementary to the splice site of intron 7 in the SMN2 gene, which forces the inclusion of intron 7 in SMN2, resulting in a functional SMN2 protein that replaces the function of SMN1 [3-5]. More commonly, oligonucleotides are used for the cleavage of target mRNA. This can be seen in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, a disease characteristic of high levels of LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream [6,7]. One contributor to the disease is the upregulation of PCSK9 protein which degrades LDL receptors. Inclusion is a drug treating hypercholesterolemia that contains double-stranded siRNA targeting PCSK9 mRNA. It forms an RNA-induced silencing complex inside the cell, cleaving the mRNA and downregulating PCSK9 protein expression [8,9].
Oligonucleotide therapy is attractive due to its simple concept that only requires creating an oligonucleotide complementary to the target RNA. However, targeted delivery provides a challenge in treatment.
Passive delivery of oligonucleotide drug
Antisense oligonucleotides can be directly delivered in saline solution. Using this method, the oligonucleotides primarily end up in the liver and the kidney. They are also taken up to a lesser extent by other cell types through endocytosis, nonspecific binding to cell-surface proteins, and passive delivery of the oligonucleotides down concentration gradients into the cytoplasm.
There are several efficient systemic delivery strategies for double-stranded siRNA that are presently in clinical trials: Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs), N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugates, and Dynamic Polyconjugates (DPCs). Delivery systems based on cationic lipids (liposomes and LNPs) are the most commonly used nonviral vectors for siRNA delivery. Hundreds of lipids have been developed to improve transfer efficiency and stability and to decrease immune response and renal escape. LNPs are primarily made up of neutral lipid and a cation or ionizable lipid. The surface of the LNP is usually covered by a neutral polymer such as PEG to minimize clearance by Reticuloendothelial System (RES) phagocytes in circulation [10-14]. Because of their large size, LNPs are only able to exit circulation at gaps in the endothelial barrier, typically in the liver and spleen, therefore most siRNA-LNP drugs are primarily used in treating clotting disorders and liver cancer. Passive delivery of siRNA-LNP complexes is not cell-specific and will enter any cell that they are able, therefore these strategies are inefficient, leading to liver clearance of the drug or delivery of the majority of the drug to cells and tissues that are not of therapeutic interest.
The necessity for precision drug delivery into solid tumors
Poor passive delivery efficiency continues to hamper the effectiveness of targeted medicines engineered to selectively destroy malignant solid tumors and metastatic lesions. Existing systemic medicinal interventions rely on Passive Transvascular Delivery (PTD) of circulating agents that depend on a large concentration gradient across the semipermeable vascular Endothelial Cell (EC) barrier [15-18]. The result is sub-optimal passive delivery, poor drug access to tumor cells, and ultimately insufficient intratumoral concentrations for full therapeutic impact. Limited availability of RNAi drugs to tumor cells needs a more specific and efficient drug uptake at the cellular level. Delivery to the appropriate cell types of the tissue of interest as well as the escape from endosome after cellular penetration could significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy.
Most recently, the strategy of drug delivery has shifted from passive delivery to active targeting delivery. Specific targeting provides a much more efficient method of drug delivery as it prevents excess drug accumulation in non-target cells. One method of specific targeting uses ligands and receptors to internalize the drug into the target cell. In this situation, an oligonucleotide or siRNA is directly attached to the ligand, for example, GalNAc. The GalNAc-siRNA complex binds to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASPGR, CD44 receptor) and then the complex is internalized into a clathrin-coated vesicle [19,20]. After reaching the cytoplasm, the oligonucleotide hybridizes to the pre-mRNA and induces its cleavage through the RNase H compound. Another method uses antibodies rather than ligands to bind to cell-surface receptors to internalize the drug. Some of the earliest approaches with antibodies utilized the transferrin receptor (CD71, TfR), a receptor binding the glycoprotein, transferrin (Tf), and facilitates its entry into cells. TfR is selectively enriched in some proliferating tumor cells. A drug is made by conjugating the anti-CD71/TfR antibody (Fab) to the siRNA (Figure 1) [21]. Only cells with the specific CD71/TfR protein on their surface will bind to the anti-CD71-siRNA conjugate drug, allowing its internalization through endosomes. After the siRNA is released inside the cytoplasm, the oligonucleotides can be loaded into the RISC, which leads to the cleavage of the target mRNA, reducing the expression of the target protein.
Figure 1: Antibody-siRNA direct conjugate.
Instead of directly conjugating oligonucleotides to a targeting ligand or antibody, the oligonucleotide drug can also be first encapsulated by an LNP which is then conjugated to the antibody (Figure 2, Cetuximab-LNP Conjugate). Without the LNP, oligonucleotide drugs often become degraded in the bloodstream before reaching their target cells. The LNP protects the transportation of the oligonucleotide drug throughout the body.
Figure 2: Cetuximab-LNP Conjugate.
However, the LNP also makes the compound much larger and more difficult for the compound to move through the body and into the cell, in comparison to the direct antibody-siRNA complex. Another issue with this solution is the difficulty in finding a balance between the LNP surface PEG shielding and the necessary availability of targeting antibodies.
KRAS gene mutations and pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignant cancer in the exocrine compartment of the pancreas. There is a 5-year survival of less than 10% and less than 20% survive just the first year which is mainly due to late detection and limited treatment options. Current treatment options include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation but have not been found to significantly improve the condition in the clinical setting [22]. The KRAS gene is mutated in close to 100% of PDAC cases [23]. The gene is responsible for making the GTPase protein K-Ras which is part of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway. KRAS protein is activated when bound to a GTP and able to transmit signals into the cell to promote proliferation, while it is turned off when bound to GDP [3]. In normal cells, the KRAS is mostly bound to GDP and turned off. Mutations in the KRAS gene are primarily at three locations: Glycine-12 (G12), Glycine-13 (G13), and glutamine-61 (Q61). These mutations cause the RAS to be permanently GTP bound regardless of intracellular or extracellular signaling, therefore creating excess proliferation and cancer growth [24]. During the past several years, siRNA-based drugs to knock down mutated KRAS genes have made tremendous progress as potential therapeutics in pancreatic cancer.
Potential targeting delivery of siRNA on pancreatic cancer
The current treatment for pancreatic cancer commonly includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Surgery is difficult on the pancreas as it is located near many major blood vessels. Additionally, because of the pancreas's proximity to other organs, the cancer is not usually detected until it has already spread to other nearby organs such as the stomach and the liver. This makes surgery an improbable solution to pancreatic cancer.
Radiation can only be used on one site so is only useful for localized pancreatic cancer and not metastatic. Although chemotherapy can be used in metastatic pancreatic cancer harms other quickly multiplying cells in the body, therefore weakening the immune system and cause side effects including hair loss, nausea, fatigue, bruising, and memory issues [25].
Antisense oligonucleotide and siRNA target directly the cause of pancreatic cancer, the mutant KRAS gene. The precision delivery methods as mentioned previously can make the treatment specific to pancreatic cancer cells without harming other cells. This new therapeutic approach is expected to treat metastasized cancer while bypassing many of these issues related to the toxicity of chemotherapy.
Receptor targeting with antibodies is one of the potential precision solutions in pancreatic cancer therapy. The receptor targets, which are selectively enriched in proliferating pancreatic cancer cells, include the Transferrin Receptor (TfR) and the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). EGFR-mediated cell signaling plays a major role in promoting tumor proliferation, metastasis, and evasion of apoptosis by initiating signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and MAPK pathways. Overexpression of EGFRs is observed in greater than 60% of PDAC cases [26], making it an attractive receptor target. When conjugating LNP with encapsulated siRNA against mutated KRAS gene with Cetuximab, a human-mouse chimeric monoclonal Antibody (mAB) that binds to the extracellular domain of the EGFR receptor (Figure 2), preliminary research shows Cetuximab-LNP(siKRAS) conjugate can improve in vitro drug uptake specificity and KRAS gene knockdown efficacy as well as cell toxicity in multiple pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC-1, ASPC-1, et al.). These conjugates also show great therapeutic potency in vivo on multiple pancreatic cancer orthotopic models (unpublished data).
The use of oligonucleotides is widespread and highly useful. An oligonucleotide treatment for pancreatic cancer that knockdowns mutated KRAS protein avoids the harmful effects of chemotherapy and radiation which also kills healthy cells. Additionally, the specific targeting potential for oligonucleotides ensures that the drug is concentrated in the pancreas and does not build up in other cells. This method of treatment can be expanded to many different types of cancers that may not be reachable through chemotherapy but can be targeted by specifically engineered oligonucleotides.

Gladiators recapture Spirit Trophy after 13 years in a 14-7 win over rival Warwick Wildcats!
The Goshen Gladiators recaptured the coveted Spirit Trophy for the first time since 2003, in a 14-7 victory against the rival Warwick Wildcats at the 106th Spirit Trophy Game on Oct. 5.
With the win, Goshen breaks a 13-year losing streak against Warwick dating back to 2004.
The team is now 5-1 in season play.
The Spirit Trophy Game dates back to 1896, when football players from Goshen High School faced off against Warwick Valley High School in what was Warwick's first documented high school football game.
That first meeting would become the second-oldest high school football rivalry in New York State, with hundreds of Goshen Gladiators participating since that time.
Players and coaches believe this rivalry means much more than simply winning.
It's about tradition, sportsmanship and a sense of community.
The only time a Spirit Trophy game wasn't held was during the war years and a one-year hiatus in 2001.
The Wildcats lead the all-time series 55-47-4. The oldest rivalry in New York State is Rome Free Academy and Utica Proctor, which began in 1891, according to Section 9 Football Insider.


Last Tuesday, ECD organized its fourth Climate Cinema Event, in association with the Think Forward Film Festival and the International Center for Climate Governance. Focusing on the theme of clean energy, five films were screened with a panel discussion led by James Heer from IFAD and Lorenza Campagnolo from Euro Mediterranean Center on Climate Change and Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Italy.
The first film, Forests: The heart of a green economy, was a documentary about the UN-REDD Programme. The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries. The Programme supports nationally-led REDD+ processes and promotes the informed and meaningful involvement of all stakeholders, including Indigenous Peoples and other forest-dependent communities, in national and international REDD+ implementation. Produced for the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), this film highlights the critical role of forests in combatting climate change as well as supporting the environment, the economy, and human well-being through REDD+ initiatives.
The second film was Kenya: Kid Power!, produced by IFAD in 2012. The film featured IFAD Mount Kenya East Pilot Project for Natural Resource Management, showing how children could change adult's behavior and make a difference in environmental conservation. The kids at Kambaru Primary School in Kenya have planted more than 4,000 trees as part of a larger effort to reforest east Mount Kenya and restore much-needed water resources.
The next film, Black Inside - Three Women's Voices, was a documentary by Rodney Rascona from the United States. Nearly half the global population still cooks over an open fire. Each year over 4 million people lose their lives, mostly women and children, from breathing the toxic smoke created while cooking over an open wood fire to feed their families. Black Inside presents the stories of three women from three continents - voices who regardless of their cultural differences or the hardships they endure, share the same aspirations of a better life for their children, framed by the mist shrouded cliffs of the Peruvian Andes, India's richly chaotic border with Nepal and the remote, drought affected arid lands of Kenya's northern deserts.
The fourth film was Brazil: Living with the land by IFAD. The North-East of Brazil is the most densely populated semi-arid region in the world. Low, erratic rainfall and recurrent droughts make farming difficult. For generations, farmers have resorted to excessive use of chemicals and slash and burn agriculture, stripping the soil of nutrients. The film focused on farmers like Irupuan Gomes who started to use bush management techniques to rehabilitate the natural ecosystem. Not only is the environment healthier -- but so are their profits.
Lastly it was The Windmill Farmer, a silent animation by Joaquin Baldwin. The film started with a farmer planting in the ground. Through the seasons, his crops were flourishing until a vicious wind destroyed everything overnight. Feeling disappointed and helpless, the farmer resigned to his fate when the thick winter snows arrived and nature started its process of rebirth.
The next Climate Cinema will be held on June 23rd, focusing on the theme of environment.


Soybean imports are projected to increase to 600,000 tons in 2014/15, in line with the projected slight increase in demand for swine and poultry feed, and also a slight increase in soy for direct human consumption. Both the swine and poultry sectors are growing only modestly, following population growth. The U.S is the top soybean supplier. Paraguay, Canada and Brazil are the other major suppliers.
Soybean crushing activity is forecast to grow slightly from 370,000 tons in 2013/14 to 405,000 tons in 2014/15, reflecting growth in demand from the poultry sector. Similarly, in 2015/16, crush is forecast to increase again to 410,000 tons. Around 25 percent of soybean imports are for human consumption. Most of the soy imported for direct human consumption is identity preserved beans from Canada. The introduction of a 6 percent Goods and Services Tax in April 2015 may negatively affect consumption in the short term as consumers need to adjust spending patterns, and agents along the supply chain learn how the tax is assessed.
A labeling requirement for GE content went into effect in July 2014, but it is not being enforced. Under the labeling requirement, products that contain less than 3 percent GE content, highly refined processed foods, and meat from animals fed with GE grains are exempt from the GE labeling requirement.
Beginning in 2015, the Department of Agriculture and the Agriculture and Quarantine Inspection service began to require that soybean importers obtain an import permit, and that a phytosanitary certificate accompany all consignments. These new requirements did not cause any disruption in U.S. soybean imports.


In the past few days the term "cultural" has been used in multiple conversations around me or that I've been apart. It is an interesting word because we all imagine a situation or person or place. Generally they are different than us. The images have different skin, or clothes, or facial structure, or just language. This might be accurate but so often we forget about our own culture. For me it is western or multi-cultured which are additional words that give us hard-wired mental images.
This type of thing doesn't bother me but more often leads me to just laugh. I like to play around with these images. To dress like an Italian-American in a nice pinstriped suite even though I have no bloodline attachment. To eat Asian food although my cultural ancestry was very bigoted towards them. To not wear American baseball hats but instead Irish looking caps which pair well with my facial hair that is actually colored from more Slavic countries than Anglo.
My favorite though is to speak of Americana as foreign. A couple years ago for a Cultural Anthropology class we had to go to an "culturally ethnic" restaurant or store. I hated this assignment as most of my food was purchased from Russian, Mexican or Korean markets. The restaurants I was a regular at were central Mexican, Vietnamese and Thai. I didn't want to have to write a report about my local hangouts, even though it would have been super simple.
My buddy and I had a trip to the Oregon coast planned for the weekend and I took my homework along. We went for a hike, had some local lunch and then were looking for a hang out spot when we saw Pig'n Pancake. It was perfect!
There was the standard pie case, the hot sauce and ketchup container cozy, the cube of sugar packets (all 4 colors) and the plastic jelly cubical organizer. The booth and standard plastic sheeted 42-page menu. The same food that you would find at any of the 42,000 Americana dinners around the country. And a massive taxidermied (or fake) swordfish over the kitchen window.
I loved it. It was so kitsch, so home cooked, so standard American. It was cultural, or so I thought.
I took notes, answered the presentation questions, and had my very artist buddy draw some of the scenes. When it was my turn to present there was some push back. From classmates that had stepped into ethnic restaurants for the first time. Places they had passed for years. And were surprised how friendly everyone was. Or how different the food was. Or how close the aisles were in the Mexican supermarket. It made me laugh.
Granted, I was raced with a different worldview. Traveled differently—looking for the weird place instead of raked white sand beach. And viewed Americana as boring and bland, while they viewed it as normal. This is the view I still take when it comes to engaging culture. We first have to find a normal to compare other things to. For me, that normal is often bright, unfamiliar, and playing the best of the 80's.


A month or two back I saw where someone had smoked a chuck roast and turned it into pulled beef. It looked awesome, so I thought I would try. This gave me a great chance to use my bag of pecan smoker pellets.
I cut two roasts in half to give extra bark and to make the process go faster. 6 hours later they had quite the mahogany finish. I waited for them to get to a good 200-210 depending on the size.
I wrapped them in foil and stuck them in a cooler for a few hours till dinner. I was going for pulled beef but ended up a little dry. Next time I will wrap when I get the color I want. It holds true for pork butts, and it seems to hold true for chuck roast.
I love Thanksgiving, but always end up spending it at someone else's house. I like all of my family's cooking, but I am passionate about good turkey! That and I typically don't get any leftovers. Let the turkey-strava-ganza begin! There will also be mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cornbread, and green bean casserole.
In the past I have smoked a turkey, I have brined a turkey, but I have never smoked a brined turkey… today is that day! I picked up a 20lb bird from the grocery store after thanksgiving. I don't go fancy, just store brand. Some people recommend doing smaller birds because they cook faster and more evenly. I say hogwash, because If I am going through all this work, I want a lot of leftovers. Maybe I should do two small ones next time.
I moved the turkey from freezer to fridge a few days before hand so It could start the thaw. The night before I pulled it out and still had slightly frozen bits in the center. The good news with brining is that soaking it in salt water should really help ensure that no part is frozen. I used a really basic recipe because I wanted most of the flavor to come from the smoke.
That is all it takes to make a basic brine. Warm water can help ensure the sugar is all dissolved. Once I cleaned up the turkey, I placed him in a set of double trash bags. I don't have a good container, or any other suitable bags. Improvise! With the turkey in, I poured in about 1-1/2 gallons of brine. I put the whole thing in a roasting pan for easy transport. The bag was too big and sagged out all over the place. A little more improvising shored it up with condiment containers to keep the brine level at the top of the turkey. Back into the fridge till tomorrow.
Good morning turkey, today is your big day! I pulled him out and gave a quick rinse. I put the grate in my roasting pan and placed him breast down. I have done it breast up and down, and I think down is a little better. It lets the dark meat juices flow downhill into the breast. I then give it a little rub of vegetable oil and make it a tent.
Take two pieces of foil on top of each other and fold the top edge over a few times. This makes a large sheet of foil easily without buying that wide foil. Drape this over the bird and insert a meat probe into the breast. My philosophy is to try to cook/steam it most of the time, then pull the tent off near the end for a golden color. Here it is most of the way through when I pulled the tent off.
A wireless meat thermometer monitors the meat and grill temperature. My traegar uses wood pellets to generate heat and smoke and sometimes puts itself out. Being able to watch both on the couch is pretty awesome! 9.5 hours later the desired temperature was reached.
It looks golden brown and delicious. Let it rest for a good 45 minutes while everything else took a trip through the oven. Once I couldn't take it anymore I flipped it over and started to carve. Gorgeous!!!
Everything had a nice smoke ring and looks really good. The flavor was amazing. A light smoke flavor (I used apple so the smoke wouldn't be overpowering) was present throughout the meat. Everything was tender and super juicy. No dry turkey meat here, just some of the very best turkey breast I have tasted. Gravy is only an option if you really like gravy. Totally worth the whole day of babysitting and waiting.
Up next, turkey stock from my freshly smoked turkey!

HERBERT BUTTERFIELD THE WHIG INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY PDF
23.11.2018 26.12.2020 admin Travel
From the President. William Cronon Sep 1, Eighty years have passed since a young Cambridge don named Herbert Butterfield published in a slender volume entitled The Whig Interpretation of History. What exactly this curious phrase meant was not immediately clear, since it had never before appeared in print. As Carl Becker rather grumpily remarked in one of the very few reviews anyone ever wrote about the book—the American Historical Review gave it no notice at all—"The phrase may have an accepted meaning in England; but, so far as I know, it has none elsewhere.

Butterfield turned increasingly to historiography and man's developing view of the past. Butterfield was a devout Christian and reflected at length on Christian influences in historical perspectives. Butterfield thought that individual personalities were more important than great systems of government or economics in historical study. His Christian beliefs in personal sin, salvation and providence were a great influence in his writings, a fact he freely admitted.
At the same time, Butterfield's early works emphasized the limits of a historian's moral conclusions, "If history can do anything it is to remind us that all our judgments are merely relative to time and circumstance".
Butterfield was born in Oxenhope in Yorkshire and was raised a devout Methodist , which he remained for life. Despite his humble origins, receiving his education at the Trade and Grammar School in Keighley , in he won a scholarship to study at Peterhouse, Cambridge , graduating with a BA in , followed by an MA four years later. Butterfield was a fellow at Cambridge from —79 and in the s, he was a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Butterfield served as editor of the Cambridge Historical Journal from to and was knighted in Butterfield's main interests were historiography , the history of science , 18th century constitutional history, Christianity and history as well as the theory of international politics.
As a deeply religious Protestant, Butterfield was highly concerned with religious issues, but he did not believe that historians could uncover the hand of God in history.
At the height of the Cold War , he warned that conflicts between self-righteous value systems could be catastrophic:. Butterfield's book, The Whig Interpretation of History , became a classic for history students and is still widely read. The " Whig interpretation of history " is now a general label applied to various historical interpretations.
Butterfield found the Whig interpretation of history objectionable, because it warps the past to see it in terms of the issues of the present and attempts to squeeze the contending forces of the past into a form that reminds us of ourselves. Butterfield argued that the historian must seek the ability to see events as they were perceived by those who lived through them. Butterfield wrote that "Whiggishness" is too handy a "rule of thumb He also wrote about how simple pick-and-choose history misses the point, "Very strange bridges are used to make the passage from one state of things to another; we may lose sight of them in our surveys of general history, but their discovery is the glory of historical research.
History is not the study of origins; rather it is the analysis of all the mediations by which the past was turned into our present". We are all of us exultant and unrepentant whigs. Those who, perhaps in the misguided austerity of youth, wish to drive out that whig interpretation, that particular thesis which controls our abridgment of English history, are sweeping a room which humanly speaking cannot long remain empty.
They are opening the door for seven devils which, precisely because they are newcomers, are bound to be worse than the first. We, on the other hand, will not dream of wishing it away, but will rejoice in an interpretation of the past which has grown up with us, has grown up with the history itself, and has helped to make the history The whig interpretation came at exactly the crucial moment and, whatever it may have done to our history, it had a wonderful effect on English politics Butterfield's book Christianity and History , asks if history provides answers to the meaning of life, answering in the negative: [11].
Vickers considers the book a late example of the earliest stage of modern analysis of the history of Renaissance magic in relation to the development of science, when magic was largely dismissed as being "entertaining but irrelevant". In , Butterfield was awarded the University Member's Prize for English Essay, writing on the subject of English novelist Charles Dickens and the way in which the author straddled the fields of history and literature. Also in , Butterfield won the Prince Consort Prize for a work on the problem of peace in Europe between and At the same time, he was given the Seeley Medal.

Two Cheers for the Whig Interpretation of History
It is not as easy to understand the past as many who have written it would have us believe. The historians who look at it from the Protestant, progressive, "19th Century gentleman" viewpoint are defined by Professor Butterfield as "the Whig historians. He looks for agency in history. And, in his search for origins and causes, he can easily select those facts that give support to his thesis and thus eliminate other facts equally important to the total picture. This was a good book, attacking some unnecessary assumptions, while encouraging the pursuit of historical questions. To me, this was a statement in favor of history's independence from the dominance

Herbert Butterfield
Whig history or Whig historiography is an approach to historiography that presents the past as an inevitable progression towards ever greater liberty and enlightenment , culminating in modern forms of liberal democracy and constitutional monarchy. In general, Whig historians emphasize the rise of constitutional government , personal freedoms and scientific progress. The term is often applied generally and pejoratively to histories that present the past as the inexorable march of progress towards enlightenment. The term is also used extensively in the history of science to mean historiography that focuses on the successful chain of theories and experiments that led to present-day science, while ignoring failed theories and dead ends. Whig history is rooted in European Enlightenment thinking that gave rise to European liberalism and Marxist theory of history, which itself is influenced by Christianity's teleological assumption that mankind must progress towards a certain goal. It proposes the inevitable, universal progress of humankind. It takes its name from the British Whigs , advocates of the power of Parliament , who opposed the Tories , advocates of the power of the king.

I had my heart set on the country skillet after working all day, so I purposely stayed up until after midnight. I went thru the Eastgate Steak N Shake and the drive thru attendant tells me "we aren't set up for breakfast." I stated it was 12:30 and asked what time they would be serving breakfast.
She responded "we don't usually serve breakfast until 4 or 5 on the weekends." I said, your sign says midnight.
Review #835336 is a subjective opinion of MsNoBreakfast.
I would think if you are old enough to drive and stay up past midnight you would be old enough not to mistake being told no as rude. It says Monday to Friday.
You went on Saturday, not a weekday.
Go back to that location and read the sign again. It clearly says Monday to Friday only.
The attendant was rude...it wasn't a simple no. If it clearly says Monday thru Friday then my bad for missing that because the Midnight to 11 stood out clearly in red bold print. Every other time I have been there for the same meal, it was also on a weekend at the same time.
Sounds like you yourself were rude and snarky.

Emotional Advantage: Embracing All Your Feelings To Create A Life You Love
Description How It Works
Our Founder Randy's latest book! ORDER BELOW (please do not purchase through our site as we have limited inventory!):
** Available NOW on these sites.
Award-winning author, producer, and founder of Project Happiness, Randy Taran knows that every emotion, feeling, and mental state has the power to bring us back to our true essence and that readers can use Emotional Advantage as a guide to get there.
In recent years, there has been an overwhelming interest in the science of happiness and positive psychology, and many books on the subject. There is a good reason for this: it is a core, universal human drive. And while happiness has opened the door for many to move forward, there is a burgeoning curiosity about the full range of human emotions, all of which factor into the human experience. What do we do when life does not go as planned?
Neuroscience reveals that to understand and utilize any emotion, we need to "name it to tame it." It turns out that even negative emotions have something to offer if we know how to learn from them. Have you ever woken up in a fog of feelings and felt directionless? Or maybe it was hard to pinpoint exactly what you were feeling, but it wasn't where you wanted to be? What if we could actually use our feelings as a pathway to guide us back to our inner compass? What if, like alchemists, we had the tools to transform our emotions to take charge of creating our very best life? What if we could comprehend how even the most troublesome emotions are sending messages to alert, protect, and fuel us forward?
Emotional Advantage is that guide. It will show us how a new perspective on fear can move us to courage, how guilt can clarify our values, and how anger can help us create healthy boundaries.

'Finding Neverland' heads to Baltimore with vintage message, new Hook
By Tim Smith
"Finding Neverland," a musical about J. M. Barrie's creation of "Peter Pan," heads to Baltimore with John Davidson joining the cast in dual role of theater producer and Captain Hook.
No less an expert on youth and adventure than Mark Twain loved J. M. Barrie's play "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up," declaring it to be "a great and refining and uplifting benefaction to this sordid and money-mad age."
That assessment was made a century ago, but the sordid, money-mad part doesn't seem at all dated. And although the original 1904 stage work by the Scottish playwright and novelist isn't encountered too often now, the indelible figure of Peter Pan, in one form or another, seems to pop up every few years, promising a welcome escape from the unsavory parts of the world around us.
The latest example is the musical "Finding Neverland," which wings its way this week to Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre as part of a tour that started shortly after the show closed on Broadway last summer.
"'Finding Neverland' is all about imagination and creativity," says veteran actor and TV game show host John Davidson, who will make his debut in the production in Baltimore. "The big picture is how we create things, how you find the muse that helps you. And the big message is to be a child, to never grow up. Find the child within and free it."
Like the movie of the same name, "Finding Neverland" is based on Allan Knee's 1998 play "The Man Who Was Peter Pan." It has a book by James Graham, music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy.

The musical offers a partly biographical, partly fanciful scenario of Barrie overcoming a spell of writer's block to craft a new play after meeting and befriending four young brothers in a London park. The familiar characters of Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell appear as they take form in Barrie's imagination.
Those characters are longtime favorites of Billy Harrigan Tighe, who heads the touring cast as Barrie.
"I am definitely a fan of 'Peter Pan,' and I would hope any boy would be attracted to the story, with its pirates and sword-fighting," says Tighe, 31, who has appeared in several Broadway productions and national tours, among them "The Book of Mormon" and "Wicked."
As a 5-year-old, the Georgia native found an entry into Barrie's world through a riff on the original material in the 1991 Steven Spielberg film "Hook," about a disgruntled middle-aged lawyer discovering that he's actually Peter Pan and has to fight Captain Hook all over again.
"I spent countless summer hours re-creating scenes from the movie in the neighborhood pool," Tighe says. "As a kid, you're all about the constant search for adventure. As an adult, you realize how much your life is controlled by the clock. You're not able to embrace your youth, your child at heart. J. M. Barrie's lesson in 'Finding Neverland' is that it's never too late to re-find your creative voice."

Davidson exemplifies that spirit. At 75, he jumped into rehearsals for "Finding Neverland" a few weeks before the Baltimore stop to learn the dual role of American theatrical producer Charles Frohman, who produced the London and New York premieres of Barrie's play, and Captain Hook.
Like Tighe, Davidson had a memorable early encounter with the world of Peter Pan.
"My mother was the theatrical one in the family," the Pittsburgh-born Davidson says. "After we moved to White Plains, New York, she took me to my first musical on Broadway. It was the mid-'50s. We sat in the front row of the mezzanine — I still remember the view — and saw Mary Martin in 'Peter Pan.' I loved the theatricality of it."
Davidson, whose lengthy credits include a finely nuanced portrayal of the Wizard in the national tour of "Wicked" that played the Hippodrome in 2015, was a fan of the Broadway production of "Finding Neverland."
That production featured "Glee" star Matthew Morrison as Barrie and Kelsey Grammer as Frohman/Hook, directed by Diane Paulus, who also guided the current Broadway musical "Waitress" and the recent revival of "Pippin."

Davidson decided to audition for Grammer's role when the tour cast was being assembled last fall.
"But they hired another guy," he says. "Then Diane Paulus called me a month ago — well, her people called me — and I now have a 45-week contract 'til next May, including three weeks when the show will be in Japan. I'm as dumbfounded as you are. And I'm very grateful."
Davidson relishes both halves of his "Finding Neverland" assignment.
"I feel like this is the perfect for me. Charles Frohman is a great character to play — he was the David Merrick of the American theater scene 120 years ago," Davidson says (Merrick produced the original "Hello, Dolly" and many other Broadway shows). "And I'm the only one in the cast who gets to speak with an American accent."

The actor does switch voices, though, as Captain Hook.

"I use something a little Cyril Ritchard-esque," Davidson says, referring to the vivid Australian-born actor who starred as Hook opposite Mary Martin in the 1954 "Peter Pan" musical and subsequent TV version. "That's a lot of fun."
In "Finding Neverland," the pirate character has advice for his creator.
"As Captain Hook, I say to J. M. Barrie, 'I am your darker side. Don't hide all the dark parts of yourself,'" Davidson says. "That's a universal message about creativity."
There was a darker side to Barrie's life. He carried emotional weight from his childhood, when an older brother died in an accident, and it seems as if misfortune followed him.
Both parents of the boys Barrie first met in that park died young (he became their guardian), and several of those boys met untimely ends as well — one in a World War I battle, another by what may have been a suicidal drowning, one definitely from suicide (he threw himself under a train).

"Fortunately or unfortunately, we do sidestep all of that," Tighe says. "I wish there was another show that would explore that. It is really interesting."
Barrie's fixation on boys and prolonging boyhood has raised questions. While some of his biographers dismiss the possibility of pedophilia, positing that Barrie was asexual, others sound less sure.
"The show certainly steers away from all that," Tighe says. "Diane [Paulus] made it very clear that we have to be careful. So when Peter embraces J.M. Barrie, you know it's because he sees him as a father."
The wholesome "Finding Neverland" had a respectable 17-month run on Broadway. Reviews were mixed, as they have been during the tour.
"I think what leaves us vulnerable [to criticism] is that our show is family-friendly and can be openly sappy at times," Tighe says. "But we keep our focus on telling the story as best we can. And audience reactions have been stellar."

Those audiences are seeing a slightly different version of the musical.
"There were some things that Diane Paulus wanted to fix," Davidson says. "The creative team redid several scenes and added a new song. I think it's better even than it was on Broadway."
"Finding Neverland" opens Tuesday and runs through July 2 at the Hippodrome Theatre, 12 N. Eutaw St. Tickets are $42 to $188.25. Call 800-982-2787, or go to ticketmaster.com.

Our final exploration of the meadows and fields – if possible, the same actual one as in previous weeks – but now we explore the sense of touch… what does it feel like?
Including humour in haiku is very difficult, because if it's overdone it shifts into comic verse, perhaps even side-stepping senryu as well.
As a co-founder of a now long defunct online publication called "Haijinx- humor in haiku" which was groundbreaking for its time, I've often admired how humour is slotted into haiku without dissolving the 'haiku' into something very different.
The verb 'attended' really makes this haiku, and is helped by the second line adjective 'unguarded'. They both work in co-operation without pushing the haiku feel out of the poem. It's wry humor on more than one level, and the word choices are simply terrific!
But so is the phrase, because many medicines are derived from nature itself!
The humour in this haiku, packed with nature, is also complex.
This comment comes probably too late for you to catch, but it is worth a try.
I'm very interested to know how to incorporate humour in haiku, and wonder if you can advise me where to find out more about this?  I admire George Swede's type of humour, which, I imagine, is not 'overdone', and also John Dunphy's. I'm concerned that several of my own published attempts at humour may fall into the realm of comic verse, so I need to know the difference, beyond, of course, the demands of more traditional ku.
Looking forward to this afternoon's new selection from Kathy's wonderful A Sense of Place, and all your useful comments that follow.
I also regularly work with people with haibun where humour is part of even very dark subject matter. We need humour in our lives, yet it need not be full in the face humour all the time.
Sadly the very journal I helped co-found is unavailable to access, and contained many essays and articles, and haiku after haiku with all types of humour.
Please do not be hard on yourself!
This is delightful, by the way!
I don't know what traditional ku might mean, and regards haiku, it was brought into being in the 1890s, and has proved itself to be very much a genre, ever evolving.
Unfortunately I don't feel the range of humour is well understood. We suffer from QJS (Quick Joke Syndrome) all too often. The magazine "Failed Haiku" are very fortunate to have this submitted to them.
It's well constructed and I feel sad that we imprison our fellow animal species when no crime has been committed, just for our own pleasure. We also regularly and knowingly wrongfully imprison humans as well. The hamster has no rights or recognition and vulnerable to the whims of shopkeepers and customers. I do love where hamsters are found homes where they have extensive play areas. And too often humans are denied decent freedoms and we still endorse wide varieties of slavery.
Okay, not every reader need to read deeply, but I would hope some readers could find at least some sympathy with a vulnerable creature that is bought and sold.
I would be interested if you created a haibun response around all of this.
thanks for this Sandra, but to be considered, please submit before midnight & use the Contact Form!
Erin, please submit using the Contact Form!
I absolutely love the Sense of Place series, and the challenges it presents for me (us?). I've worked in small, novice writing groups a few times and been challenged to "open up my senses" in describing the world, but never have I been as effectively challenged and inspired in that endeavor as here. So many thanks to Kathy Munro for including me, and for occasionally "helping" me decide which to present. The additional commentaries of Alan and others are incredibly educational for those of us yearning to write better, or more evocative poetry. Thanks to all.
thanks so much sharing this – it is wonderful to hear… I have learned so much from this project, & as I have said before, I couldn't do it without the submissions of poems from all of you… so thank you!
thank you, Kathy, I may not say this every week but i do appreciate the effort that goes into making our weekly fix of haiku.
i'm also extending my thanks to the friendly community of poets gathered in this place.
thanks for sharing this, Polona – & my thanks as well to this community!
Thank you, Katherine, for including me again in this worldwide haiku family.
What a wonderful workshop in progress! The community building here is a unique mix, including some fellow speculative fiction poets.
Thank you in particular for the expert commentary from kjmunro and Alan Summers.
Hello everyone. Good to be with you again. Thank you kj.
I'm up in Asheville, North Carolina for a couple of days. Going to run out in the sunshine that just broke through and touch some hay bales. See what comes up.
creative aura. Sweet storage,  we humans in general tend to overlook this aspect.
Wonderful  haiku related to  honey bees.
There are indeed a lot of "small engines" that benefit the planet, and clear up as best they can after human debris. The humble fly is one such wonder. If flies disappeared in one day, humans would die off in weeks!
We hunt insects down, as bees are under attack by governments and corporates, which is outrageous as they have more claim on the planet than the humans.
Certainly a lot of respect should be given to all insects, whose invisible work also benefits us.
I bought Karen several books on bees, as we are trying to both recognise each type, as well as create a welcome environment.
Warm greetings! Beneath the reputed haiku/senryu related poet,a keen bird watcher, friend and environmentalist ,coming out to give us excellent haiku poems ;often his concern/care/ for the insects – perceived here.
Kindly convey my regards to  Karen.
I have a special place in my heart for honey bees!
Thank you KJ for including mime!
Great haiku!  Love those last two lines, and 'a bit of meadow' followed by 'between his teeth' is priceless and yet so accurately observed.
Thank you so much for your commentary, Alan! So glad you liked my poem.
Yes, I remember this poem by Karen now.
Some youngsters might only know to eat things from supermarkets, while more enterprising ones will know food can be found outside.
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex Acetosella) is a popular nibble with children and is familiar to most trampers as a practical thirst-quencher.
I was intrigued by the use of 'lad' which suggests the author is the boy in question. A hidden clue perhaps.
At a time of uncertainly it would certainly be logical to know where and how to eat food in the wild. Some Scandinavian schools encourage interaction and knowledge of the 'outdoors' which makes for a more grounded (no pun intended) individual.
Yes, this is autobigraphical. It was an early school trip at the end of the school year, I must have been 11 or 12, that I/we discovered sheep sorrel. A thirst quenching tangy juicy stalk of a plant with medical applications going back to the stone age. The class trip took us to some wooded or sanddune area and we took hikes with the whole class through the surroundings. The lad in question was a local farmer's son who was chewing the sorrel and explained the taste and some of the history to us schoolboys. In more recent and alternative medicine the power of this plant is even 'tested' in medicine toward the treatment of cancer.
Thanks for your comments and analysis, Alan. It's always a pleasure to read them and I feel honored that my poem warrented your attention.
Ah, lad is probably a good term for a youngster on a farm.
City kids meeting farm people is invaluable and there is so much to learn that is different. All good for the brain. It's not completely an urban myth that children only know milk comes from a supermarket, not a farm, not a cow.
Actually the children and teachers were behaving, it was the train management's fault. I was just a punter waiting for the train as well, at my then home in Bradford on Avon. The trains are often just 2 or 3 carriages, and often not big cars.
The teachers sensibly organised a meet up, but it was embarrassing that they were messed about by grown adults at the train management offices, who are always messing with the onboard train staff.
Ps. I did think of farm hand but it was probably a farmer's son. I much prefer the brevity of the term lad.
Farm hand would have suggested a young adult, whereas lad could anything from pre to young teen son of a farmer.  It is an old term for youngsters but perhaps in keeping with the old practices of independent farms.
This was truly my most difficult one to write~  I am thankful you chose one to publish again KJ! Thank you so much.  What incredible company to be among. After reading many (with many more to read) I have wonderful imagery filled with many different flavors.  Thank you all.
Karen and myself love bees! We have mostly Buff-tailed bees and they took over a small bird box this new so that was novel! There are all sorts of bees, we even have Solitary Bees, and Tree Bees.
Alan I live east of Salem 14 miles on roughly 24 acres.  We have several species of bees some that are aggressive in nature and some difficult to identify. This haiku was referring to the honey bees I watch who forage for food to make delightful honey. Now I  unfamiliar with species of honey bees if there are more than one so I thank you for the resource. My sister and brother in law own The UrbanBee Co.  out of Burien Seattle and the taste of their raw honey is amazing!!
Ah, yes, honey or any other product pre-factory packaging is great. I still remember drinking free fountain water for visitors and residents in a famous English village that tasted like Champagne, yet once bottled lost all of its magic.
Yes Amy Baranski!  My younger sister.  She and her husband Bob Redmond have partnered with THEO Chocolates in Seattle using their honey in their mix.  Try it sometime!  Most of our honey bees are docile and allow me to watch nearby.  Thanks a ton for the commentary!
Smacking my lips on these tasty haiku. Thao, Kathy, for including mine in this salad.
Thao was supposed to be thanks.
Kathy, thank-you for publishing mine.  Congratulations to all my fellow poets in the meadow.
The neat thing about it is that it can be read with the break after Line 1 -or- with the break after Line 2!
wonderful – thanks for sharing this, Pat!
glad to hear about this respect for the deadline… also – keep writing! thanks Mark!
Congratulations everyone, and thanks again Katherine!
So pleased you like it! this means a lot to me.
….they are never done. Nor even ever abandoned.
The syntax and order of lines is far superior in your original or Ingrid's version.
Far too new at this genre to presume revising anyone's ku, least of all yours, Laurie! I simply didn't copy it out properly into the comments, so 'the spider adds' in the second line was my mistake. Besides, by inadvertently altering it, each of the three lines consists of four syllables…tut…tut. However, I'm glad this came about because through Alan's comments, (thank you!) I learned more about syntax in all three versions and the consequent importance of the sound of a poem.
thank you Ingrid, Laurie & Alan – this is the kind of exchange I am hoping to cultivate with this column… we can all learn so much by sharing – & we all make mistakes too! I read 'salt' the first time through as well – wonderful!
Greetings!  Lovely to see   all the lovely,delicious  'tastes' Thanks to see mine here.  The following by  Sanjuktaa Asopa captures me , my special attention.
So many wonderful tastes of the meadow/field.
A very beautiful visual, also, that bright blue star shaped flower, gorgeous.  The herb of gladness and courage.
According to Pliny, Borage was the nepenthe of Homer, a herb wine that brought absolute forgetfulness.
Many thanks for including mine, Kathy.
I've only had jugged hare once, at a venue in Bristol, and I was the only one not sick! Never had it since.  Love the monoku though!
You have a hearty constitution, Alan.
Yes, a luxury indeed, and if the cost of producing food keeps spiralling upwards, along with the extreme changes within our seasons, it will be a 'once a week' luxury, once again.
As a nation we have great concern when it comes to meat production. We have the highest standards here in the UK, if the time ever comes that we have to rely on cheaper imports, from around the world -and we all look at the price before purchase – I will become a vegetarian.
thanks so much for sharing this, Carol – & for your comments, as always, Alan!
Your haiku reminded me that the restaurant my father ran and then sold was renamed as Parmigiana. Sadly it was not successful as my father's restaurant named after Isambard Brunel Kingdom.
thank you for submitting, Angela!
Thanks, Kathy! It's so wonderful to read all the wonderful selection of haiku on Wednesday mornings. I appreciate being included!
Thanks, Alan! There is nothing quite like that  taste!
and the pivot line and pun of 'still' is brilliant!!!
A very nice turn of words! This brought a smile. Thank you.
Thank you Alan, John and Gary.  !  I missed these comments last week or would have responded earlier!  I appreciate your feedback and kind words – and am happy it brought a smile, Gary.
I shall look forward to reading all the poems once I've completed my commentaries on a course. How does a meadow or field taste? An intriguing challenge!


See I Told You So by Rush Limbaugh is, as defined by modern day terms, technically both political and historical.Firstly, in a historical sense, it documents the political climate in the United States at the dawning of Bill Clinton's eight year presidential reign. It highlights, although admittedly biased towards Rush Limbaugh's political opinion, desperation of the radical liberal wing of the Democratic Party. It also outlines the disorganization and want for leadership of the Republican Party after George H. Bush's (the first President Bush) presidential defeat.
Secondly, in its political sense, it is an unabashed, conservative response to Bill Clinton winning the 1992 presidential election, and the left-leaning policies he intended to bring about during his term. Through most chapters, he dissects the short comings of various policies, from politically correctness to taxation, and prescribes right-wing answers to each.
As much as Rush Limbaugh is decidedly right-wing, so too is this, the book he compiles his ideas and solutions in. This is not to say that all Democrats or for that matter Liberal Democrats are vilified, old school liberals such as Huebert H. Humpherys (MN) is given an even hand where he is discussed. However, cultural and societal questions are deal with a starkly different approach than what you might find in one of Bill O'Reilly's books. Whether or not you like O'Reilly's approach over Limbaugh's depends on where you stand in the political spectrum. It should be an obvious note, of course, that Limbaugh is much more partisan than is O'Reilly. In terms of message cohesiveness, the book is fairly point blank. There are a few chapters which deal with finance and taxation which are a bit grueling to sift through, but they plainly state the case he is trying to make. Overall, the book is worth a read, if for no other reason than you get a taste of how the champion of the right-wing views things. Effectively you walk away with ever you take out of it. I'll give it a 5 out of 6 on the NWOt rating scale.
