Strong Man Holler
Taj Mahal Changed The Blues
https://musicinsideout.wwno.org/louis/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MIO-Wk-022720-TajMahal-NoBreaks.mp3
Taj Mahal has guts. What else would explain the song title, "You Ain't No Street Walker Mama, Honey But I Do Love the Way You Strut Your Stuff?"
In the history of the blues, there's never been anyone as bold, funny, carnal and canny.
Mahal puts those qualities and more into his songs, creating music that appeals to audiences around the planet. He writes for grown ups, children, for movies and plays. He's performed in a dozen languages, including jive. And he's encouraged fans to celebrate scores of blues artists who would otherwise be lost to history.
Mahal is, in a word, great. And after a rousing interview with Gwen Thompkins at the 2013 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, he's great today on Music Inside Out.

A Connection to the Land

Taj Mahal was born in Harlem, but agriculture is in his blood. His mother came to New York from South Carolina where she grew up on a family farm. Mahal's maternal grandmother had come to her marriage as a landed woman in the 19th century.
"They were about getting their land together," Mahal tells Gwen. "So my mother, as much as we was going towards sophistication, educated at South Carolina State, she knew how to snap a chicken neck quick and raise some butter beans in the back yard."
"It occurred to me as a young child that agriculture and music were closely aligned, particularly in Africa and then in the South."
"The City was starting to close in on me and I discovered in eighth or ninth grade that I could have been hanging out with cows and horses and chickens — and learning about them. But then I said to myself, maybe there's something interesting inside modern education about agriculture that you might need to learn, so go and check it out."
And so he did. First at a vocational ag school, then at the University of Massachusetts.
"All my weekends, all my vacations, were on the farm."
"The bottom line: I like the idea of being in service to humanity. And agriculture seemed to be able to provide that, as well as music, and also a way to be home all the time and be in control of your food."
Sounder, the 1972 film by Martin Ritt starring Cicely Tyson, Paul Winfield and Taj Mahal, was nominated for four Academy Awards. It's based on the Newbery Medal-winning novel by William H. Armstrong.
Here's a scene ("Baseball Is Your Game") from the film, where Ike, played by Taj Mahal, puts a neat tag on a base-runner from a pick-off throw by Paul Winfield.
Taj Mahal & the Music of Louisiana

When an out-of-town visitor comes to Louisiana once, it's time to break out the guest towels and maybe even iron the sheets. But three times in a single month? Well, that's no visitor — he's family.
In May of 2013, blues man Taj Mahal played the last day of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Then, later that month, he came back to perform in Lafayette and Baton Rouge.
Mahal's Cajun French isn't bad, cher. And he's got a good memory for local musicians (with a little help from KRVS chief engineer Karl Fontenot). But Mahal says his love affair with the state began in the 1950s and 60s, when he heard Fats Domino play.

Sex, or This Ain't Mahler
"There's a sexy rhythmic thing that I'm always looking for in the music — so you can feel it. You feel it deep."
It's downright refreshing when an interview can cut to the chase. And so, we turn to sex. As Gwen says in the broadcast, there are sexy songs that Taj Mahal sings, but they sustain you in many ways.
He notes that one of the benefits of the 1960s was that a wide variety of literature was available.
I spent a lot of time reading East Indian, Persian, Chinese — particularly the Taoists. The West still has some growth issues around sexuality. Earlier Eastern philosophy was that sex was healing. It's a deep part of life. I'm just glad I'm a real adult.
Tajmo
In 2017, Taj Mahal teamed up with fellow bluesman Keb' Mo' to release TajMo. The two men have collaborated on stage in the past, but the new album was their first partnership inside the studio.
Check out their video for "She Knows How to Rock Me."
Some of the music heard in this hour is available for you to stream, and we've put together a complete playlist, ready for you to take with you to your local record store.

With an unparalleled reputation for being the best in authentic British heritage clothing, Barbour is always the answer when it comes to finding some all-around classic design. The Longitude Wax Jacket fits the bill for a bit of spring/summer outerwear, without going over the top. Crafted using a waxed cotton to protect against wind and light showers, the snap closure front takes influence from a classic American sportswear silhouette. There is a ribbed collar and three super functional pockets across the body.


The evolution of mountain biking as sport–and recreation—is on rapid pace. A few years ago, RockShox recognized the need to take their wildly popular Pike suspension forks to the next level, and the first-generation Lyriks were born. These forks were purpose-built for aggressive riders who demanded more strength and more stiffness, and they passed the test. For 2018, RockShox introduced a new chassis that was even more robust than the original. Having spent a lot of time on the 2018 Lyrik with no complaints, I was somewhat surprised to find out that I was going to be riding a new and improved version that would be shipping at the end of March, as a 2019 model.
Photos make it look like I can almost keep up with Duncan Riffle.
Since RockShox engineers put endless hours into refining the internals of Lyrik 19', they didn't leave the setup to chance. To make sure proper air pressures and damping adjustments were in play, they sent over a guy who knows a thing or two about riding suspension product—Duncan Riffle. I assure you that you won't need a World Cup shredder to find the right tune. RockShox has both an air pressure chart printed on the lowers and sag gradients anodized on the stanchions (a feature that I have always appreciated). Once I finally admitted to weighing 185 lbs.… we settled on 90 psi, selected the middle of five high-speed compression damping settings, and dialed in 7 of the 19 low-speed compression clicks from full open. When the rebound damping was set to a neutral state, we were ready to rip.
New, but not unfamiliar, following Rock Shox's aesthetic tradition.
To make sure that Duncan didn't drop me, I didn't explain our route through Sycamore Canyon–and to make sure that I formed my own initial impressions, he was equally tight-lipped about the new Lyrik internals. Within a few minutes it was clear that this fork was more than just a new "BoXXer Red" color way and fancy chrome decals. On less technical sections, I was focusing my eyes on the constant fine movements between the fork slider's upper seal and the gradients on the stanchion. This new Lyrik proved to have better small-bump sensitivity than I remembered, and it was exceptionally smooth off the top. At the same time, there was good damping support in the top half of the travel. While climbing in or out of the saddle, I never felt the need for a lever. In terms of stiffness while cornering, braking, or encountering off-camber loads, it simply felt like the Lyrik that I remember—which is to say plenty stiff and confidence-inspiring.
An homage of BoXXer Red.
After a few helpings of gullies, ruts, and rock gardens, we sat down and talked about the secret sauce that makes this new Lyrik special. The goal for this fork was to combine "coil-like sensitivity with air-like adjustability". This was achieved with two technologies: a new DebonAir air spring and a re-imagined Charger 2 damper. The DebonAir spring uses a machined aluminum seal head that drastically reduces friction and gives the fork its responsive feel. In addition, a larger negative air chamber helps keep the fork riding in its sweet spot. The Charger 2 damper also receives "friction killing" seal technologies to go with independent low-speed and high-speed compression damping circuits. With five high-speed compression settings and 17 low-speed compression clicks, there is enough tunability to satisfy nearly every preference—but they have achieved this without overly-complicating setup and tuning procedures. Greatly appreciated by those of us without a World Cup mechanic.
The Lyrik is at home on more than just a dedicated bike park rig. It was light enough (1984 grams / 4.36 lbs. on my scale) that I ran the 150mm version on my 135mm 29er trail bike and I never felt like it was too much fork. It's a great choice for anyone who wants top-level suspension performance and a bulletproof chassis. This is perhaps the only current offering where you can get 150, 160, 170, and 180 mm travel options for BOTH 27.5" and 29" wheels (if you are looking to build up one of the latest and greatest 29er Enduro offerings your mind should be racing). It will only be offered in the Boost 110 variety though, so plan accordingly. Old guys like me will see the "BoXXer Red" paint and immediately think of a 90's RockShox Judy DH—but it will also be offered in "Diffusion Black" and "Gloss Black" if that's more your style.
Duncan and the Lyrik riding smooth as silk.
The new gold standard for small bump compliance.
Separate High-Speed and Low-Speed Damping circuits provide the right amount of tunability.
150mm to 180mm travel for both wheel sizes (didn't forget our big-wheeled brethren).
The Stealth Maxle sacrifices some convenience (on a fork where weight should not be a factor).
It will be tough finding a rear suspension design that is not over-matched.
I've gotten in more than 20 hours on the 19' RockShox Lyrik RC2 now. It is definitely the most supple and reactive fork I have ridden. There is a particular set of eight high-speed braking bumps between two rock features on my favorite lunch loop. Normally, by the 3rd or 4th bump, my fork has stacked up and I am dealing with the remaining impacts the old-fashioned way (clinched teeth and flailing arms). Well, that section has shown me that the DebonAir springs and Charger 2 dampers are more than just marketing speak—these technologies reduce friction, allowing the fork to respond more quickly and rebound between the impacts. The result is that the suspension is still performing by bump number eight and I am carrying more speed with more control. While this Lyrik looks a good bit like the one that came before it, it is simply a better performing fork. Would I hold off on buying a bike with a 2018 Lyrik on it? Probably not. At the same time, would I drop $999 to bolt one of these to the front of a perfectly fine bike? If I wanted that little bit of extra performance, I absolutely would.
Broaden the range of your long travel bike.
The 2019 RockShox Lyrik is definitely blurring the line between it and it's smaller sibling, the Pike. It is a tougher, bigger, and heavier fork than the Pike, but the weight difference is close enough that some may choose to match up a Lyrik to their 150mm+ bikes to broaden the capabilities of that bike to take on some rowdier terrain. This is not intended for the XC crowd, and is probably a bit over-gunned for the typical trail bike, but as you move into enduro/all mountain setups this fork starts to feel right at home. It is also the perfect choice for your long-travel big mountain or park bike. Basically, if you find the deep end of your suspension, but want to stick with a single crown fork, this is your huckleberry.

Most companies and consumers are unaware of client-side malware attacks–but they should be. This rapidly growing threat bypasses traditional security solutions and infrastructures and can cause significant damage to website, damaging company's business, loyalty and trust and manipulating user experiences while remaining largely undetected. Namogoo is a security startup that is certain to disrupt the industry by using Machine Learning to detect and resolve client-side threats. Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Chemi Katz and Ohad Greenshpan, the CEO and COO and co-founders of Namogoo about this revolutionary approach to security, and their mission to partner with CDNs.
Chemi: I have about 20 years of experience in security, commerce, and advertising. I was previously the General Manager of DoubleVerify Israel, head of cloud and security at LivePerson, CIO and CISO at Aladdin, and head of security sales at Bynet.
Ohad: I have a PhD computer science and worked for many years at IBM, where I worked in their Research Labs, and was one of the founders and leaders of the Serious Games domain, worldwide, and the CEO and co-founder of Fashioholic. We both come with strong backgrounds in security, e-commerce, big data, and we complement each other in many different ways. We are both passionate about building technologies that generate significant impact.
How many employees do you have and when were you founded?
Namogoo was founded in August 2014, currently has 15 employees and growing rapidly. We are very selective in the employees we bring on board. An all-star team – all are super smart, creative, built from the startup ingredients and experts who come from the relevant experience and backgrounds.
How much venture capital have you raised?
We currently have six million dollars, and our lead investor is Blumberg Capital. They are a leading San-Francisco based venture capital firm with great traction and successes in the security, cloud and fintech spaces.
Could you give us a brief introduction to your company?
Namogoo creates a new layer of security that protects companies' online assets from client-side threats. Namogoo is a market disruptor and, with a unique technology, looks at security problem from a big data perspective. Most security companies try to address the problem by identifying the malware, installing it, and attempting to reverse engineer a solution. The foundations of our company, however, are Machine Learning and Big Data which makes the tech very robust and scalable and can be launched for any client, any vertical, any geography and platform. With every launch of a new client we don't have to learn the malware. The whole approach is data-driven and automated. We are starting the revolution from the top by going to the big companies, and we've gained a lot of traction with Fortune-50 to Fortune-500 companies.
We see client-side security as an interesting story because when we come to clients they don't know about the problem. They don't see the impact of these threats because the problem exists on their customers' computers, and these customers may not even know they're infected. In the majority of cases they don't call customer service to complain. In other cases where they do complain – complaints do not always reach the top management. We do see a significant decrease in customer complaints after the technology is deployed.
We are the first company to educate the market that the problem even exists. It's a tough goal on one hand but exciting on the other hand. As a leading company, you always want to be a disruptor, not a joiner. That's where you create the impact, you define the rules and you lead.
What's the security problem you're trying to solve?
We provide a new security layer that protects companies from threats coming from end-customers' side – either their computers, devices, browsers or network. These threats can be malware that the customers have installed on their device, unknowingly, or wifi network. These attacks may affect your experience with any website; your session and bank account might be hijacked while attempting to purchase products off a company's website. We also leverage our Machine Learning technology to detect and mitigate automated attacks collecting intelligence or conducting fraud activities through headless browsers. The threats might come from the computer or from the network, for example, if you connected a clean computer to a non-secure WiFi that has been hacked.
Namogoo is a business-to-business company that provides a new security layer for our clients' websites and provides them with visibility and protection against this new type of threats.
What sets you apart from other security companies?
Most security players focus on providing protection on the server side or with infrastructure, or they help protect a company's employee devices. Our space is on the end-customer side. It's interesting because first, if you're a company, you might have thousands of employees, but tens of millions of customers. So we're dealing with a different order of magnitude of threats. Second, the companies cannot enforce customers to install any software to address these threats. For companies who have tried this, the install rate is very low. Third, there is great variety in the types of attacks because we, as users, are mislead to download all kinds of things to our computers and devices and we connect to non-secure networks. We torrent, visit unsafe sites, use non-secure WiFi in coffee shops, download pirated software that could be banded with other software and infect us.
And once we are infected, we could go to a company's website and the session is compromised. The session gets injected with code or widgets that are not part of the original session. So the value we can bring by removing those threats is endless.
What we provide is tech that is deployed and protects web sessions from client-side threats. Think about it like a session file: it comes with the session and leave with the session. We are deployed on the company's website/application, providing the company a security layer to protect the website from any kind of threat coming from its customers.
Do you provide software or cloud service?
How do you deal with website vulnerabilities?
Any website is vulnerable from the client-side, the customer is vulnerable and serves as a vector of attack to manipulate the session he or she does with the website. Any server-side or platform-side solutions companies implement would be useless from this perspective. One major type of attack is from social engineering threats, like fake surveys or phishing, which manipulate your experience as a customer and mislead him or her to provide sensitive data. So in this case, if you were to go to a bank site, you might see a survey that has been injected into the page. The goal of the survey is to ask sensitive questions about your data and purchasing habits, gather that data, and send it back through their servers. Another way they might obtain that data is to offer a deal, but tell the customer to provide details about them first "so we know you are who you claim." The major threat to the company is the trust issues it creates in the customers, but it also distracts customers from their actions on the site. It's a weird behavior that you have as a customer, because it makes customers think it came from the website. There would be no way to even see it happened.
What is the entry-level price for your services?
We provide a tier-based pricing model that is based on volume. Namogoo provides two products with a different set of capabilities, CyberKnight for financial services companies and DigitalKnight for eCommerce and Publishers.
Could you give us some other examples of types of client-side attacks?
Other examples are ad injections – banners, pop-up ads, in-text ads and product recommendation widgets that encourage shoppers to download software or to shop at a competitor site. This malware manipulates the session and affects the visuals, pushing things down, covering things up, etc. They can make significant damage to the site's appearance.
Another is affiliation hijacking, which creates a leakage of marketing money. This injects notes for products of the same company or redirects without any visual and adds an affiliate code to the URl, making notes to pay commission for traffic it hasn't brought. Companies end up paying to players they aren't supposed to pay for non-services.
Authentication fraud is well-known threat for financial services companies and banks. This, for example, would be a short script that has no visual presence but monitors key strokes and steal sensitive data. It's like a keylogger: any login info, anything you type would be monitored by this script. This is a backdoor for hackers to take your credentials that requires no confrontation with the banks' security solutions and infrastructures implemented on the server-side.
There are also ways accounts can be taken over through Remote Access Tools. You might get a malware message that says to wait while security settings are checked. While you wait, your account is taken over–they wire money and close the application.
Bots are another client-side threat, which work at the application layer. Client-side bots that run through headless browsers cannot be detected by the server-side tech that various tech companies use to classify malware, but we can identify if a current user is a bot.
How do you identify malware and bot? Is it through baselining traffic or some sort of fingerprinting technology?
What kind of analytics does the platform provide?
We provide robust analytics and drill down metrics that are visible in a dashboard We have clients worldwide, and we can provide them with numbers about infected pages, bot sessions, infection rate, etc.–all split by category. Then for each category–for example, threats–you could see what occurred, who is doing it, and where they're coming from.
You can also see what the injections look like based on your customers' experience. Customers sometimes can't see the page or the ads slow down the page. There might be broken ads that look bad. It's a horrible customer experience, and can be severely damaging to your brand and your customers' trust if the ad is for something weird or inappropriate. In some cases, there are video ads or Flash ads that will slow down the page significantly, or create an overlay on the whole page that prevents customers from clicking on anything. They can't get to the original page unless they click on the malicious link first.
Namogoo is a Big Data company and invests a lot in data and we expose our data, anonymously, at a high resolution and both in real-time and offline, in various ways.


Prefer a steaming hot cup of tea over a coffee? We've sourced the best cafes for you to bliss over a cuppa.
Australia is a nation of coffee drinkers… ra-ra-ra. I know! But for those of us who prefer tea (we do exist!) we like one that isn't a simple equation of tea bag and hot water.
I'll be the first to admit that my heart does a little skip when I see a tea menu that reads longer than the number of fingers on my hand. Likewise, it plummets when it sees the word "tea" or a "selection of teas" knowing that what they mean is, "Hey, no one really orders tea, so whatever we have left in stock, that's what we're offering." Those guys are the worst. These guys, however, are the best.
We've compiled together the top notch tea rooms, tea houses and cafes with a stella collection of loose leaf tisanes and pages upon pages dedicated to specialty teas. Your heart do that skip thing, too?
And yes, if you're bringing along a coffee drinking fiend of a friend, there are some stellar javas available for them, too.
Okay, so this one falls into the high tea category of drinking tea, but we've deemed it fit to be included in this list.
When afternoon tea comes with delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones, sweet macaroons and savoury tarts – not to mention of glass of Laurent-Perrier – it definitely passes our test. Actually, it smashes it out of the ballpark.
This is luxury tea drinking at it's finest.
When a place has three pages dedicated to teas and has the scope to separate them into "tea selections", "herbal infusions" and "tea for connoisseurs" you know they mean business.
Your standard English, Irish and Earls are here, but move further down the menu and you'll find wild cherries, yin longs, superior gyokuro, and jasmine pearl specialties from rare tea gardens in China to delight. There's a reason why we named this one of the best High Tea destinations in Sydney.
You know the name and while the tea-drinking part of T2 stores is usually reserved for one-sip samples and home brewing, Sydney is home to two T2 brew bars (try saying that three times fast) where you can choose from the collection of over 200 teas and drink at the bar. Tea lattes, ice teas, matchas, you name it.
Morning pick me up, afternoon tea, or late afternoon slowdown? Whatever the question, there's a tea that will answer.
Client meeting on the organisation boards? Somewhere open, perhaps where the service is impeccable and the hot beverage menu caters for all? That's where Mosaic comes in.
Housed inside the Old Post Office at Martin Place, it's a light, airy affair with teas and coffees to chat about and lunches and brunch offerings for if the meeting runs long.
This one set tea lovers' hearts aflutter when it first opened in Redfern offering a brewful of tea delights for aficionados. It's since grown to include a venture in Barangaroo and we're hoping will take over the world soon.
Choose your tea by taste (pure, fruity, spicy, floral, zesty, creamy) or type (white, oolong, herbal, green, black, caffeine-free) and if you fall in love, don't forget to share the love by purchasing a pack of tea to gift a fellow tea drinker. Or take home for yourself.
The Rabbit Hole also hosts events throughout the year. These have included private shopping events, matcha classes and bespoke tea classes which is a novel idea for special occasions like a hen's party.
Might be generalising here, but mothers and nans love a good tea. They also love tea pots wrapped in colourful tea cosies, cosy little corners, pots of jam and homemade scones. Which means she'll probably also love The Tea Cosy – a quiet little respite in the heart of The Rocks.
Head in for a long ladies lunch and if she falls in love with one of the knitted works or preserves she can purchase them, too.
Class up your date by taking her to the tea rooms at the Chinese Garden of Friendship. Contrary to what some may think, you don't have to enter the gardens to share a pot of quality traditional Chinese tea in these picturesque surrounds.
You've either come here because you're a damn serious Chinese tea drinker or are looking to convert someone to the ways of one. The prime focus is on quality teas and to help you truly understand their nature Zensation holds tea appreciation courses.
Each session looks at a different tea and matches it with a dish in zen-ful harmony.
Don't expect to call into Bread and Circus for a standard coffee shop meet-up, this is a canteen, not a coffee stop and should be treated like one as its menu changes daily to stay fresh and seasonal.
While you'll never know what today's menu will hold, you can always count on its dedicated tea page for the most incredible organic blacks, sublime oolongs, whites, and greens imaginable.
There's also space for "almost teas", for those seeking a caffeine-free brew or something different (green Moroccan mint, anyone?).
We know what you're thinking: aren't these guys more coffee than tea? Well, yes and no.
Sure, Single Origin Roasters (SOR) is renowned for its brew bar – which allows you to explore its cold drip, chemex, pour over and AeroPress of the day, but it also has quite a few teas up its sleeves, including an SOR house blended chai.
Duke's a man who likes things his way. He's handpicked pretty much everything in his outfit, from the chrome designer chandelier and Yamaha upright piano, to the Numero Uno Altitude Premium coffee blend and the artisanal teas. These are supplied by TeaCraft, who are the same guys behind the teas served at Tetsuya, Miss G's and Matt Moran.
Hey, if it's good enough for them, it's great news for us.
If there's only one thing you try at cafe bookshop, Gertrude & Alice, it's the home-made spice chai. Buy a bag and take it home. It's that good.
For the more rebellious, there's more than a handful of Chamellia organic teas to keep you awake, and Gertrude & Alice even does a hot lemon, honey and ginger, perfect for keeping you warm and healthy during the winter months.
Four words to describe Two Chaps: best of both worlds. This Marrickville outfit is home to Sticky Chai tea and Blindman Coffee – both of which you can drink on the premises by the cup, or purchase by the bag to make at home.
Start by doing the first, end by doing the latter.
Keep an eye on their Facebook, yo. These guys have been known to sneak a tea tasting or two into their schedules showcasing single estate teas not generally part of its standard menu.
If you're unlucky in tea-tasting love, you can still drop in for one of the loose leaf or herbal infusion offerings.
Circa may single handedly be putting Parramatta on the map with its specialty tea and coffee offerings. While it doesn't roast its own here, it does at its newly opened sister shop, Smith's Fine Tea and Specialty Coffee (a mere walk away). It also offers its own brand of coffee alongside Single Origin and 5 Senses roasts.
For tea, there's Tea Craft and its bevy of blacks, whites, greens, and oolongs.
If you've arrived to a line, why not walk the couple hundred metres to Smith's (3/70 Macquarie St) and give its little sister some love?
If you've got a mind for something more Aussie than the not-so-classic "Australian Breakfast", get your hands on the loose leaf tea blends created by T Totaler.Carefully crafted and Australian-focused, these guys have a brew for every occasion.
You can find these guys at their Newtown tea house (teaching you to blend new brews or hosting a tea degustation), at your local farmer's market, or on the menu at your local.
Thanks for your suggestion! We'll be updating this article soon with your inclusion.

These photos, provided by the Burnett County Historical Society, show Jim Jordan with the buck's original antlers (left) and a shoulder mount of Jordan Buck replica antlers (right). Jim Jordan died in 1978.
The wintry day started out with promise for 22-year-old Jim Jordan of Danbury. A century later, it's legendary.
Hunting over fresh snow on the morning of Nov. 20, 1914, south of Danbury in Burnett County, Jordan and his friend Egus Davis cut several deer tracks, including the prints of what looked to be a very large buck.
The pair followed the tracks through brush near a railroad line until a group of deer jumped up. Davis shot a doe, securing highly sought venison.
But a heavy-racked deer was among those that galloped away. Jordan set his sights on the big buck and continued his hunt along the tracks.
His quest for, subsequent kill and later loss and recovery of the massive 10-pointer formed one of North America's greatest deer stories.
"The tale is as large as the antlers," said Mike Kornmann, Burnett County community resource agent for the University of Wisconsin Extension.
The deer, known as the Jordan Buck, measures 206 1/8 inch under the Boone and Crockett scoring system.
It was the world-record typical whitetail until 1993, when a buck shot by Milo Hanson in Saskatchewan bested it.
The Jordan Buck remains the largest typical whitetail ever taken in the U.S., according to Boone and Crockett records.
This year, the centennial of Jordan's hunt, has brought the buck and its story back into the limelight.
Several events commemorating the buck have been held in Burnett County.
Songs have been written about the buck. Tourists and others can relive the hunt on marked segments of the Gandy Dancer Trail near Danbury.
And on Thursday, the 100th anniversary of the hunt, Wisconsin will officially observe "James Jordan Buck Day."
It's an honor that took an incredibly elusive path. In fact, the buck was lost twice, once for many years.
The details of the story were provided in interviews over the years with Jordan and Davis. Jordan died in 1978 at age 86.
While Davis gutted the doe, Jordan followed the tracks north on a line paralleling the railroad tracks and heading toward Danbury.
As the tracks neared the Yellow River, Jordan paused to look for deer. At that moment, Jordan said an approaching train blew its whistle. Several deer then stood up in grass about 50 yards away and took off running.
Jordan set the sights of his Winchester Model 1892 on the big buck, firing three times and emptying the rifle. He believed he hit the deer but it kept running.
Jordan later said he furiously searched his pockets, believing he was out of cartridges. He found one and reloaded.
A bit north along the trail Jordan found blood and followed it to the water's edge. Seconds later he saw the buck crossing the river. As it climbed the opposite shore, Jordan fired his last bullet, downing the buck.
The young hunter was so excited that he waded across the cold river and looked at the buck. He'd need assistance to move the massive animal, he knew, and left it as he walked to Danbury to get help.
After a change of clothes, Jordan, Davis and two of Davis' sons returned to the site with a horse. But the buck was gone.
Jordan said it must have slid down the bank into the river. The men searched the river and found the buck hung up on a boulder about 200 yards downstream.
The buck was taken to town and drew a crowd. One of the onlookers, George Van Castle of Webster, offered to mount the buck for $5. Jordan agreed, paid the fee in advance and Van Castle left with the head.
It would be the last time Jordan would see the rack for 50 years.
In the months after taking possession of the antlers, Van Castle moved near Hinckley, Minn., about 20 miles west of Danbury.
It's not known if Van Castle attempted to notify Jordan of the delays in mounting or change in address. Jordan said he traveled to Webster in early 1915 to check on the status of the mount. To his surprise, the rack and Van Castle were gone.
Van Castle later moved to Florida, leaving his Minnesota house vacant for 40 years with Jordan's rack inside.
The record antlers collected dust until 1959, when Van Castle's house was purchased. Items found in the house were sent to be sold at a secondhand store in Sandstone, Minn.
As fate would have it, the rack was noticed by Bob Ludwig, Jordan's nephew. Ludwig bought the mount for $2.
Ludwig knew the rack was big. But how big? He measured it and came up with a score that would make it a world record under the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system. The measurement was confirmed by an experienced scorer.
A subsequent Boone and Crockett panel made it official: at 2061/8 inches, the buck was the top typical whitetail in the world.
Ludwig told friends and relatives about the news and began to show off the rack. When Jordan saw it, he exclaimed: "That's my deer!"
Although Jordan had told the story of his massive buck many times over the years, Ludwig was skeptical.
The buck was listed in 1965 as the top whitetail by Boone and Crockett. It was recorded as taken by an unknown hunter near Sandstone, Minn.
The story remained unresolved until 1977, when Ron Schara, then outdoors writer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, traveled to Danbury to hear Jordan's claim about the buck.
Schara's column about his meeting with Jordan caused Boone and Crockett officials to investigate further. They were convinced and in December 1978 the group's records committee officially declared Jordan as the hunter who killed the world-record whitetail.
Significantly, the place of kill also was corrected to Wisconsin.
Sadly, Jordan died two months before the records committee ruled.
The original rack of the Jordan Buck is now owned by and on display at Bass Pro Shops headquarters in Springfield, Mo. Replica mounts are found at several sites in Wisconsin, including Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area in Grantsburg and Cabela's stores in Green Bay and Richfield.
The Jordan Buck stood as the world-record typical until Hanson's Saskatchewan whitetail topped it.
When it comes to size and quality of story, the Jordan Buck may never be surpassed.


Sliced patty pans can be baked with Parmesan to make a casserole. Lightly grease a small casserole dish with unsalted butter, then layer the sliced patty pans in the bottom of the casserole so that the rounds overlap slightly. (Mix in some sliced zucchini or summer squash if you don't have enough patty pan.) Dot the slices with a bit of butter. Sprinkle a half-cup of freshly grated Parmesan over the slices. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then place the casserole in a 350 F oven for 15 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and slightly browned.
Sprinkle with some chopped basil before serving.
Janet Peters shares this favorite way to use zucchini.
Add zucchini, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and cook stirring occasionally, until zucchini is softened about 5 minutes. Add broth and water and simmer until zucchini is tender about 3 minutes.
Puree zucchini mixture with parsley and dill until smooth.
Chill and add yogurt. Can keep up to 1 to 2 days.
In a large skillet, heat oil, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant and softened – no more than 1 minute. Add oyster sauce, rice vinegar, chicken stock, ground peanuts and sugar. Add zucchini sticks and sauté, stirring often, just until zucchini are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Don't overcook. Serve immediately as a hot dish, or at room temperature as a salad.
Mike McMahon and Jen Clough passed along this recipe for zucchini & summer squash. Pattypan would work here as well.
Trim squash and/or zucchini and halve lengthwise, then toss with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl.
Oil grill rack, then grill vegetables directly over hottest part of coals, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until grill marks appear, about 6 minutes total. Move vegetables to the area of grill with no coals underneath and grill, covered, until tender, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
While vegetables are grilling, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Pour dressing evenly over vegetables before serving.
Jan Search marinades her zuchs and pattypan in olive oil, tamari, garlic, and a little sherry.
Heat oven to 475 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. Wash zucchini and pat dry. Do not peel. Cut into eighths lengthwise, then halves crosswise. On a sheet of wax paper, toss bread crumbs, cheese, herbs, garlic powder, and pepper. Whisk oil and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Moisten zucchini spears in this mixture, then roll them in crumb mixture, covering all sides. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake 7 minutes or until spears are lightly browned. Turn spears over; bake 3 minutes more. Serve immediately with hot marinara sauce if desired. Four servings.
– Place a third of the squash and potato slices in the bottom of the dish — no need to layer them squash-potato- squash; just spread them evenly — then season with salt and pepper. Top with half of the goat cheese scattered evenly in large chunks. Repeat with another third of the vegetables, seasoning again with salt and pepper and top with the other half of the goat cheese. Finish by layering on the final third of the vegetables and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serves 4-6 (Farm Fresh and Fast by Fairshare CSA Coalition; 2013) I make this salad all year, as it's a great way to use leftover vegetables. Its very versatile as I've added cooked winter squash in the fall and might add chopped kohlrabi to the mix this week.
Directions: 1. Cover the quinoa with water and soak for 15 minutes. Pour the soaked quinoa into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under running water for 1-2 minutes. Put the quinoa and 1 3⁄4 cups water into a saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. 2. Combine the quinoa with the remaining "required" ingredients (parsley through salt) and your choice of at least 2 "rotating" vegetables. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
This recipe can be used with a mixture of vegetables that sounds good to you. The trick is to cut the vegetables in varying thicknesses based on how long they will take to roast since you'll want them to all get done at the same time. Carrots or potatoes should be sliced thinner than summer squash or eggplant, for example.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash and zucchini into 1 inch dice, toss with other ingredients, and roast until tender, 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 serving.
4) Add 2-3 cloves of garlic (amount depends on how much you like garlic) heat until fragrant.
5) Add your squash, sauté for about 5-7 minutes. This is the challenge, you want it crunchy soft, but not mushy.
Use a mixture of green and yellow for presentation purposes.
Serve over rice with salmon or chicken.
In a blender, process zucchini, lemon juice, salt, avocado, basil, and water. With the blender going, slowly drizzle in oil, and blend until completely smooth. Serve cool. 1 serving.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, and sauté the squash, zucchini, red onion, and garlic for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chickpeas and spices. Then gently stir in the cooked couscous. Cook until hot, about 8 minutes. (Or spoon into a large casserole, dot with butter, and heat in a 350 degree oven until hot, about 15 minutes.) Garnish with parsley before serving hot or at room temp.
Serves 4 I've been eating this salad for 3 days in a row; it's delicious and very versatile! Instead of goat cheese, I use feta because that's what I had in the fridge. Spring Hill onions (purplettes & scallions) replaced the shallots. Any herb of choice will work and maybe adding a bell pepper or tomatoes later in the season will add a nice crunch/taste.
Preheat the oven to 375°. In a 13 by 9-inch ovenproof baking dish, combine the corn, zucchini, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, the dill, and the melted butter, tossing to coat the vegetables. Cover the vegetables with the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese and the bread crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the tomatoes and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. Remove it from the oven, and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Put batter in 9×13 greased and floured pan.
for 45 minutes at 325 degrees.
In a food processor, combine zucchini, lemon juice, salt, cumin, and tahini and blend, stopping periodically to scrape the sides of the bowl. Drizzle in olive oil as needed and garnish with paprika. Makes 3 cups.
Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a paper towel; add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
Angie Barker shared this recipe a while ago – David made them for us the other night!
Sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa, olive tapenade and fresh herb.
Toss grated zucchini with salt and drain in a colander for ~ 30 minutes. Squeeze zucchini to get rid of as much liquid as possible. Put zucchini in a bowl; add flour, beaten eggs, crumbled feta, and pepper. Stir until just mixed. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and melt 1 Tbs each of butter and olive oil. Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into the sauté pan. Flip when nicely browned and cook on the other side until brown. Place pancakes on a paper towel on a baking sheet in a warm oven while preparing the next batch. Serve hot with garnishing or a sprinkle of sea salt.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion, and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper and adjust heat so onion and zucchini release their liquid without browning. Cook for about 20 minutes or until very tender.
Add tomatoes and their liquid to zucchini, and raise heat to a bit so mixture bubbles. Cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite tender. If sauce threatens to dry out, add a little pasta cooking water.
Drain pasta, and finish cooking it in the sauce. Serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan. Serves 4.
Bring 2 quarts water to boil in a large saucepan, add zucchini; blanch for 1 minute, drain, then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over low heat. Add onions and garlic, cook until soft. Increase heat to medium; add peppers and sauté́ to soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in mint, thyme, peppercorns, and salt to taste. Add tomatoes and zucchini; cook until tomatoes release their juices and thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Adjust seasoning.
Toss immediately with cooked pasta and serve.
Directions: In a medium bowl, stir together the zucchini, onion, sugar, basil, red pepper, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
(1) Combine zucchini, onion, green pepper, red pepper, and sprinkle with salt. Mix well, cover with cold water and let stand three hours. (2) Drain and rinse several times. (3) Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add vegetables and simmer 20 minutes. (4) Drain and reserve a small amount of liquid. Cool vegetables and liquid. Combine vegetables and liquid. (5) Enjoy!!
1. 2. 3. down heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes (until potatoes are tender). 4. Remove from heat, add chopped cilantro and an additional 1 teaspoon of salt and 1⁄4 – 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper. 5. Puree the soup using an immersion blender, or puree in batches using a stand blender (return the soup to the pot and adjust the seasonings to your liking.) 6. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche.
Use any combo of green and yellow summer squashes- including the patty pan. Serves six to eight as a side dish, four as a main dish.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until limp and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low if they're browning too quickly. Add the garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes Spread the onions and garlic evenly in the bottom of an oiled 2-qt. shallow gratin dish (preferably oval). Let cool.
Heat the oven to 375°F. Put the tomato slices on a shallow plate to drain for a few minutes and then discard the collected juices. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini and squash slices with 1-1/2 Tbs. of the olive oil, 2 Tbs. of the thyme, and 1/2 tsp. of the salt. Reserve half of the cheese for the top of the gratin. Sprinkle 1 Tbs. of the thyme over the onions in the gratin. Starting at one end of the baking dish, lay a row of slightly overlapping tomato slices across the width of the dish and sprinkle with a little of the cheese. Next, lay a row of zucchini, overlapping the tomatoes by two-thirds, and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat with a row of squash, and then repeat rows, sprinkling each with cheese, until the gratin is full.
Season lightly with pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Drizzle the remaining 1-1/2 Tbs. olive oil over all. Combine the reserved cheese with the remaining 1 Tbs. thyme and sprinkle this over the whole gratin. Cook until well-browned all over and the juices have bubbled for a while and reduced considerably, 65 to 70 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 min. before serving.

Dickinson's Lemon Curd
I walked into Walmart Supercenter with my family, curiosity on my mind. Dickinson's Lemon Curd curiosity.
I had seen the jar the last time we were there, read the ingredients (Sugar, eggs, butter, lemon juice concentrate, pectin, citric acid...), and thought it to be interesting, especially since it's an English creation, and I'm American, and therefore have had nothing like it. But today, I wanted it. I wanted to try it, and though it was $2.78 for 10 ounces, well, why not?
Dinner was heavy, with spaghetti bake (mozzarella cheese, an Italian blend of shredded cheese, ground beef, beef sausage), cheesy Ciabatta bread, and chocolate-strawberry-banana smoothies Meridith made. But a little after 11, I determined that since I'm not going to bed until around 2, now would be the time to dull my curiosity.
I dipped a plastic spoon in the jar (clean spoon, and I used it only once), scooped out a tiny bit, and tried it.
Oh....my....god!
It tastes like lemon meringue pie in a jar!
I love the English for many things, and this is just another thing to add to the list!
So that's BBC dramas, comedies, Monty Python, Charles Dickens, politics (I sometimes get tired of ours and need a break, so C-SPAN 2 has Prime Minister's Questions every early Wednesday morning), Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, John Gielgud, Rowan Atkinson, Phil Collins, Sting, and now lemon curd.

James Cromwell at the Supermarket
I went to bed at 2 this morning and drifted into a dream that carried me all the way through to 9:14 a.m. It's amazing how dreams that seem to only happen in an hour or two turn out to have encapsulated seven hours of sleep.
Last night, I was thinking about the supermarket, any supermarket here. I need more frozen blackberries and yogurt for the coming week. In that dream, I found myself at a supermarket, looking for yogurt. Not many Greek yogurts in one refrigerated case, and then I encountered apparently a former co-worker at The Signal, even though I didn't recognize him, and I would have. We reminisced about our days there, I asked him what he was up to, and we moved on.
And then, in an aisle full of crackers, I was behind a tall man who was picking up a box from the top shelf, and it turned out to be James Cromwell. Yes, Farmer Hoggett from the Babe movies, but for me, a West Wing fan, former president D. Wire Newman in the 5th season episode, "The Stormy Present," one of only two episodes I liked from that season, but a slight disappointment to me, because though I could get the feeling of life after the White House from Newman and his deceased successor Owen Lassiter (the funeral in the episode takes place at his presidential library in Costa Mesa), there wasn't enough discussion about the personal impact of the White House from Newman or from former acting president Glenallen Walken. Instead, the focus was on the protest situation unfolding in the Middle East, and Newman's experience with the same royal family during his term, and Walken's opinion about what should be done. I liked the scene of Newman telling Bartlet how he felt after his MS was revealed to the world, and of Walken talking to Bartlet about a trip he took to China with Lassiter. But there was that golden opportunity, squandered, also because of a "B" story of Josh trying to negotiate a settlement between North Carolina and Connecticut about a copy of the Bill of Rights stolen by a Civil War soldier.
In the dream, my intention was to ask Cromwell if there had been anything changed in the script, any sections of exactly what I had hoped for that were excised. I began talking to Cromwell, telling him that I know others would ask about Babe, but I really wanted to know more about his role as former president Newman, to learn about the filming, to see if anything had been left out.
Also at the supermarket was a contingent of his family, on hand because his mother or father was dying, which is strange to me now because his mother, actress Kay Johnson, died in 1975, and his father, director John Cromwell, died in 1979. Or maybe it had been an aunt or an uncle, but either way, they were there for support and to get him back to the hospital in due time. I remember also nieces and grandchildren there too, and at the end of the dream, a 14-year-old granddaughter who had actually seen the episode I was wondering about, but all I could muster was telling her that her grandfather did was excellent in it. Some things are too important to let questions about other things creep in.
There seemed to be his family in nearly every aisle. There were instances in which he dashed off, and I encountered them, and they answered some of my questions, but not what was truly important to me. It was remarkable how tight-knit this family was, a rare quality.
That's all I got out of the dream. I think if I'm to get any hypothetical answer about the missed opportunity, my next dreams are going to have to involve John Sacret Young, who wrote the episode. Or maybe even executive producer John Wells, since he was at the head of that atrocious fifth season after creator Aaron Sorkin and chief director/co-executive producer Thomas Schlamme were fired at the end of the fourth season.

You probably find, like many gardeners, that reliance on home-made organic gardening compost nearly always leaves you short. So on this page I cover not only where and how to use it, but how to distribute it more effectively.
'slow/brown' formed in cooler conditions, with worm casts to increase phosphate availability, probably more amenable to disease inhibiting microbes.
First, consider the condition of your soil and those areas that are in greatest need of improvement. If you garden on poor soil, improving this may take priority.
Plan to rotate compost distribution between needs. Any area that gets none in one season can be a higher priority in the next. Also rotate garden compost with other sources of organic matter like farmyard manure, spent mushroom compost, and turning in green manures. Some of these alternatives cost a little more but they can add to the richness of your home made compost in future years.
All other factors being equal, I consider vegetables to be the most important application for your organic gardening compost. That's because they are pretty hungry plants like cabbage etc… that produce high yields of green matter. Most grow complete new root systems and leaves annually from transplants. Also, as the soil in the vegetable plot is usually worked more than other garden areas the organic gardening compost applied here decomposes quicker.
I suggest applying the 'fast/green' compost to ground for leafy vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, celery, chard, rhubarb etc… You can economize by restricting it to planting pockets; do mix it intimately with the soil fill. But if the surrounding soil is poor you will need to improve the whole bed, otherwise roots may not spread out. Side dressings of compost can be laid down in addition where necessary.
For improving the vegetable bed generally, work a 2 inch layer into the top 4 inches of soil. This can be done in time with crop rotation before a crop such as beans.
For Runner Beans I prefer 'slow/brown' compost. The high humus content helps moisture retention. Available phosphates aid root development. Potassium stimulates flowers and fruit. (In fact runner beans are not vegetables but fruit).
For tomatoes make a 50:50 mix of 'slow/brown' organic gardening compost and soil. The inclusion of comfrey leaves is beneficial here and especially ongoing liquid feeds of comfrey.
Your organic gardening compost goes a lot further as fertilizer when liquid feed is made from it. To do this suspend a bag full of 'fast/green' compost in a barrel of water for a few days. It can be used to liquid feed vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers and greenhouse plants, as well as flowers.
The next priority is annual flowers as they grow completely anew and the soil is more disturbed. Next comes the herbaceous perennial flowers. Give special attention to any vigorous herbaceous plants or climbers that put on a lot of growth in one season.
The 'slow/brown' compost is preferable for flowers, root development and moisture retention, over 'fast/green' stuff with abundant nitrogen content. But small newly planted flowers can be given a boost with the liquid feed described above. With herbaceous perennials compost can be restricted to mixing in with soil 50:50 when transplanting or dividing.
Leaf mold is the first choice as a base for seed compost. Alternatively use the finest most mature 'slow/brown' garden compost. These may contain more weed seeds (clean by 'stale bed') but reports indicate that seedling disease inhibiting microbes are probably present in both these composts. See making compost.
Laying turf or seeding a new lawn should take a high priority for your available organic gardening compost. Mix a 3 inch layer into the top 4-6 inches. Use the 'fast/green' compost; this contains fewer viable weed seeds.
Most fruit don't put on masses of growth annually; but some have widespread root systems. Above all fruit need to be kept moist, and high potassium low nitrogen content is preferable. So I prefer the 'slow/brown' compost; the rougher less developed material is acceptable for making water retentive humus. Blackberries need plenty. Use a top dressing of comfrey leaves underneath the compost. Liquid compost feeds before flower set are also good.
Shrubs and trees come at the bottom of my list because in general the rate of growth appears to be slower. Also shrubs and trees usually have widespread root systems that take in a large volume of soil. They often muscle in on the flower bed or lawn.
Within this category hedging plants have the highest priority because they are closely planted, and usually cut each year to encourage growth. Slow evergreens are less important than deciduous. Mix into back fill soil 50:50 when planting or transplanting. Be aware that if you make a planting hole in poor soil and fill it with compost the plant roots may not venture beyond the hole.
For some trees, root associations with particular fungi are a far more important source of nutrients than fertilizer. You can carefully mix a 1 inch layer of compost into the top 2 inches or simply top dress surface feeding roots. With trees you can mix compost into holes or trenches and try root pruning.
Lawns on poor dry sandy soils, silt, chalky soils, or shallow soils, can be improved by top dressing with your organic gardening compost. It can be used on other lawns too, but mixtures of loam, sharp sand and peat/coir/compost are more widely recommended. On clay soils use a mix of compost and sharp sand. For perking up lawns generally, measured amounts of organic fertilizer can be used instead.
Top dressing is commonly done on fine lawns. It is often used to even out hollows, but for this you really need loam not organic gardening compost. Restricting it to part of the lawn may lead to uneven lawn quality. For lawns over loam, organic matter and nutrients are well conserved by leaving the grass cuttings in place during the summer. This alone may perk up the lawn. Compost may help to break down thatch but always rake thatch out first.
Use fine and fully matured compost to top dress lawns. The job is done mainly in autumn but alternatively in spring. Brush in top dressing to no more than 1cm about 1/3 inch deep. Most grass blades will peek through. At this depth 1 cubic foot will cover 4 square yards and 1 cubic meter will cover 100 square meters.
In loamy soils mix the soil cores from hollow tine aeration into your organic gardening compost. (Compaction is no less reduced.) Top dressing lawns with garden compost need only be done every 2 to 3 years once the initial soil improvement is complete.
Mature organic gardening compost can be distributed to soil and plants without worry. But immature stuff containing bits of un-decomposed material should not be dug in. It robs nitrogen from the soil as bacteria use nitrogen to complete the decomposition.
You could save running short by adding a nitrogen containing supplement like manure, comfrey liquid, or urea, and then incorporate it. I usually add the supplemented material back to the heap to finish the job properly.
If you need small amounts of gardening compost and only have the immature product then you could sieve the bits out, use the fines, and return the debris to the heap.
Unfinished compost of highly fibrous woody material makes a good mulch for shrubs and trees. It has a slow decomposition rate and remains in place longer. Its hard discrete fragments resist compaction, and large spaces in between give free drainage with drier conditions on top that discourage weed seed germination.
Apply mulches in early summer after the soil has warmed and growth gets underway but early enough to help retain winter moisture.
This involves top dressing the soil with good garden compost. It requires a large amount to maintain a good cover.
With organic gardening your compost is the key to fertility, indeed that applies to all outdoor gardening.

New Metro Line In Valencia Now Finally Commits To Opening
The opening of a new metro line in Valencia, L10, is scheduled for next spring, either in March or April…
It's official: Valencia will get two new metro lines in the spring of 2022. The Ministry of Territorial Policy, Public Works, and Mobility announced this, and while no specific date has been provided, it is expected that by this time next year, we will be able to take the train to Ciutat de les Arts I les Ciencies and the tram to Natzaret.
The two new lines are L10 and L11. L10 is a rail extension of the existing network that will finally connect Valencia's most popular tourist attraction, the City of Arts and Sciences (Ciutat de les Arts I les Ciències), with the city centre. But, more importantly, this route will connect the barrios Ruzafa (stop at Avenida Regne de Valencia), Monteolivete and Quatre Carreres to the network.
The bad news is that L10 will not make it to Natzaret. You'll need to take the L11 (tram) from the City of Arts and Sciences to get to this barrio. But there is a silver lining. The tram will run from Natzaret to Cabanyal, eventually connecting these two coastal barrios and the entire Poblats Maritims area.
The work on L10 is expected to be completed by the end of the year, but it will take an additional couple of months for tests to be performed and all clearances to be obtained. As a result, the current estimate is that the first journeys on this line will take place in March or April 2022.
The work will most likely not end here. Recently, Generalitat President Ximo Puig announced the construction of another metro line that will connect Hospital La Fe with the Xativa station, passing through the barrio of Malilla, another neighbourhood with a poor connection to the city centre.
It's another shot in the arm for campaigners looking to a more sustainable city in the drive to net zero carbon emissions that the planet urgently needs…

Boston, MA – September 10, 2015 – Semi-autonomous driving systems have the potential to be a game-changer. Allowing the attention requirements of a driver to be greatly lessened, cognitive load is freed up for non-driving related tasks such as light engagement with passengers or viewing scenery. Long stretches of motorway driving at speed can potentially become safer and more enjoyable experiences.
A recent expert review from the In-vehicle UX (IVX) group at Strategy Analytics (www.strategyanalytics.com) has evaluated one such system: the high-speed autonomous driving system in the 2015 Mercedes S-Class. Overall, the feature has many positives. When all systems are functioning normally, the ride on a motorway is smooth and steady; the vehicle properly maintains its speed, following distance, and position in the center of the lane. The instrument cluster display is sharp and visually appealing, attention alerts are not unsettling, and 'hand-offs' feel natural. In addition, intentional take-overs by the driver are accomplished without having to fight the system for control.
However, there were several issues encountered which impeded first-time users. Hidden controls make first-time use a challenge and scattered, unintuitive iconography on the cluster exacerbates this problem. But most notable and problematic of these flaws is the lack of consistent warning for sub-system failures, particularly steering assist.

But there some circumstances where a static Middleman site can be really annoying to manage, because one section needs to change frequently.
For example, let's say you want to let visitors to your company's website know what industry events your company will be attending in the coming year.
Now, when you build or deploy the site, your event page is only going to show upcoming events.
First, we want to wrap each event in a div with an event class and a data attribute for the event's end date.

Each vase is approx. 10" high. Very good condition with no cracks. There may be a small chip in the roses, its very hard to tell as each rose is roughly handmade and different. Any flaws would not be easily seen.
