Blackberry picking only happens at the height of summer, but is well worth the thorn wounds!
Long before our home plantings even begin to flower in June, mouthwatering berries of all kinds arrive (at world class prices) in the fancy-food departments of supermarkets, first from Chile, then from Central America and Mexico, and, finally, from warmer areas of North America — raspberries from California and blueberries from Georgia. As with most mass-produced produce, these berries capably fill the stomachs of those who have but a fleeting memory of a backyard raspberry bush, but they are only a moon-cast shadow of what may be the most delicious food in the world.
One or another fruiting plant grows practically everywhere in North America. Indeed, the greatest variety of berries are found on low bushes and ground creepers native to our most hostile climate: snow country of the U.S./Canadian borderlands and up into the Great White North. Till you prospect the country, you'll never know how climate, topography and soil chemistry combine to determine the berry species that will grow there. When you do, make it an expedition of discovery.
And think like a raspberry. A berry's only role in nature is to peddle seeds that the parent plant wants distributed as far afield as possible. The preferred customers of most berry species are farflying birds. That's why a plant surrounds its fruit with thorns intended to fend off slowpokes such as you, me, wild pigs and bears. It grows best in full sun. If its roots are in the shade, it will extend long, flowering branches, canes or the stolons used by ground-berries as far out into the sun as possible.
Trees and berry bushes sprout everywhere birds drop seed, but most thrive only in the sun. You'll often find berry bramble canes at road and field edges or at meadow margins. In spring, where brush has grown up all around parent brambleberry plants you'll spot white-flower-garlanded canes arching up and over adjoining plants to seek the sun. There, bees will find the flowers and birds will spy the bright berries when they are ripe.
Think like a bluejay. Look from ground level up to eye level and at all low trees. Many common berries grow in both bush and creeper forms. Creeper berries are underfoot, often extended above the greenery on long stems. Fruiting trees are low-growers that attract high-flyers like jays along with low-flying ground birds such as warblers that migrate through the underbrush.
Search in natural meadows, at river and pond margins, overgrown farm fields or recent burns, along country roads and lanes, and under power line rights-of-way. Some berries grow in marshes, others in sandy barrens. The guides recommend "disturbed ground" or places where man has removed trees and undergrowth, then abandoned the land, providing several decades of sunny ground for fast-growing berry bushes and small fruiting trees to colonize, before forest trees grow up to shade them out.
Till you are well-experienced, avoid all vine fruit save for wild grapes that grow up into the trees, fruit in clusters like store grapes, have twisty tendrils on their stems and leaves with serrated edges and a heart-shaped base. The fruit are dark blue or red and have a sweet outer skin that slips off easily from the glutinous, sour inner seed envelope. Seeds number one to three and are hard. In the North, they taste like Concord grape jelly or Manishewitz, in the South, like Muscatel wine. Young shoots and leaves are edible.
Most other wild vine fruit are poisonous or hard to differentiate from look-alikes that are. The fruit of Smilax genus, misnamed carrion flower in the North and greenbrier (bullbrier) in the South, grow on vines that produce small clumps of edible black or blue-black berries. They are never abundant (I can show you but a single vine hereabouts), and can be confused with the fruit of the Virginia creeper, which puts out a spray of small, blue, appetizing looking (and marginally palatable but toxic) berries. Uncommon, but poisonous, Canada moonseed looks like grapes but has large (up to ten-inch) round, smooth edged leaves, bitter fruit and crescent shaped seeds. Poison ivy, when it climbs a tree to fruit, produces unappetizing, hard white berries, while nightshade's berries are small, orange-red and bitter (its other name is "bittersweet"). Both are toxic in one way or another.
Summer is best, though some berries fruit in spring and others in fall. Many even hold on till winter, with some, such as Hawthorn's mini-apples, improving in sweetness and flavor after frost. Following is a list of the most common berries of midwestern and eastern North America. But first . . .
Three warnings before your trip out:
1. Make a positive identification before you pick or eat any berry. Obtain, study and use a reliable, up-to-date field guide. (See "Sources" at the end of this article). If possible, make your first trips with a long-time berry-picker from your local area; field experience is by far the best teacher.
2. You'll want to avoid areas that have been sprayed recently with herbicide. Most spraying is done early in the growing season when plants are making fastest growth and are most vulnerable. Dead vegetation is an indication of a recent spraying. If vegetation in an even ribbon along the roadside or under the highlines looks to be growing, but is stunted, unevenly leafing out or well behind similar plants growing elsewhere, you have an old spray zone that is fighting back. Any fruit will have grown on canes or buds produced after the spray lost strength. But still, I'd leave it and come back next year.
3. Make a lot of racket in the berry patch. Bears like berries, too, but will instinctively move away if they sense humans approaching. You learned this from birth if you're from grizzly country in Alaska or the Yukon. But contrary to common (mis)knowledge, the common black bear of the lower 48 and Canada can also pose a danger to people. Don't surprise them.
Appearance: Red to purple-black, round to oval, seedy aggregate fruits measuring a half inch to an inch; variably sweet to sour, juicy to dried-out, depending on species, rainfall and age. Hundreds of species; all edible. Longish, dark purple blackberries pull off a stem, rounder raspberries slip off a half-round cap. Bush varieties grow on long, thorny canes that sprout from perennial roots and live only one fruiting season. Dead canes persist for years, creating bramble patches that no berry-fancier but a rabbit could love. Low growing blackberries, called dewberries, fruit on low creepers with short thorns that can't resist snagging your jeans or socks.
Mourning Warbler with Wild Blackberries
Location: East and Northwest. Dry, open ground, sunny meadows, road and field margins, "disturbed ground." Some varieties enjoy sandy soil. Blackberries grow farther south than raspberries.
Season: Profusion of white to pink, open-petaled flowers bloom in spring, fruit appears summer to fall. Blackberries arrive two weeks later than raspberries.
Warnings: None. No aggregate berry (those, like raspberries, that are made up of clusters of juicy little drupelets) is poisonous to man or beast.
Blueberries, Huckleberries
Appearance: Highbush variety grows on six-to 20-foot, woody-stemmed, evenly rounded bushes. Lowbush variety grows on dense creepers along the ground and up to two-feet high. Displays downhanging, white, bell-shaped flowers in spring; in summer, sprouts sprays of familiar round, blue fruits, not shiny, often dusted with white powder, with five small blue petal-like calyx lobes at the blossom end.
Location: Blueberries need an acid soil. They do well in bogs and barrens with leached-out sand or peat soil. Dried up beaver ponds (flat spots in rolling hill country) are good. Oak trees can indicate good blueberry land.
Season: Flowers in spring, berries in summer.
Warnings: The arguably toxic (the books don't agree) pokeweed berry has a roughly similar appearance to blueberries, but grows thinly on a rough shrub with long leaves and red stems. Unappetizing (they just look poisonous), glossy, single-drupe berries are dark red-purple, scalloped around margins and wider than deep. They come larger, same size or smaller than a blueberry, with or without a short stem per berry, and grow lined up close together around the end of a thin branch. Mature root, seeds and rind of the stem are highly toxic.
Emerging poke shoots are widely eaten like asparagus or forced like Belgian endive, though red ends of the shoots are cut off. The berries are all purple-red, and Foxfire 2 (wisdom of state-of-Georgia elders) warns against them. I don't know any old-timers who'll eat them, though the berries do figure in more than one folk remedy.
Fruit of buckthorns resemble blueberries, but are blacker and bitter and cluster along branches of a shrub. Some have thorns.
Appearance: Flowers bloom in a six-inch or so diameter spray of dozens of white blossoms (called "elderblow," they are delicious dipped in a light egg batter and fried in butter to make fritters), followed by a multitude of small dark red-purple berries in summer. Wait till berries are ripe and juicy. Toxic to some people when eaten raw, with a strong sweet-bitter flavor, they cook up into a grand juice for jelly, flavor for apple wine, cordials or syrup. Mix juice with an equal part sugar and some lemon juice to counter the bitter, cook till bubbly and pressure-can in pint jars for syrup to go on pancakes or ice cream. Once when I was little, my Great Aunt Elsa served fresh-picked, egg-batter-fried elderblow with elderberry syrup for breakfast to the whole family (we'd gone out to the old farm for strawberry time in June). I was too young to appreciate the weedy appearance of the blossoms or the bitter principle of the syrup, so I settled for fritter-batter pancakes with fresh strawberries; I've been kicking myself ever since.
Location: Elderberries need a rich forest soil and are found in moist woodlands, at margins of fields and along trails and forest roads.
Season: Flowers bloom June to July, fruits appear late Summer into fall.
Warnings: See blueberry warning.
Wild Cherries: Black Cherry And (Red) Chokecherry
Appearance: Small (quarter-inch) round, red or blue-black berries in sprays on low trees. Young trees of dark-fruited black cherry have a shiny, reddish bark with shallow pits. Snapped twigs have the characteristic "wild cherry" odor. Fruits are small, juicy, round cherries born along lengthy stems at ends of branches. Chokecherry fruit grows similarly but is bright red to purple. It is bitter or sour or both, but palatable as a trail refresher and can add a wild flavor to apple jelly or wine. Native Americans dried and used them in pemmican and other winter foods and trail mixes.
Of the Prunus genus and related to plums, cherry trees have the characteristic fruit tree leaf: ovoid, small, with many blunt teeth around margin. It's easy to confuse chokecherries with small red bushberries, which is OK. As a rule of thumb, if a bright red, juicy berry growing in quantity on a wild bush or tree tastes good (even if it's a little sour), it is edible. If it is too sour, spit it out. But, as with any wild food, be sure to ID it from a book before eating in any quantity.
Location: Wild cherries grow rapidly from bird-dropped seeds, quickly colonizing clearings, and are common weed trees of "disturbed land" throughout the East and upper Midwest.
Season: Cherry blossoms bloom in spring; fruit grows in summer and often holds on the tree till fall.
Warnings: Wilted leaves and egg-shaped seeds of both red and black cherries contain poisonous hydrocyanic acid. Don't swallow the seeds! Only toxic look-alike is uncommon and inedibly bitter.
Similar Fruit: Highbush cranberry (not a cranberry at all), nannyberry, squawberry and other fruit of northern woods and marshes look like wild cherries (and sometimes are called so locally). Use a field guide to differentiate. Also taste test: If bitter, don't eat them.
Appearance: One of only three fruits native to North America (the blueberry and Concord grape being the other two), this round, red fruit with many small, soft seeds looks the same in the wild as in your grocery store. So prized was the cranberry by our forefathers that in 1677, the colonists sent ten barrels of the fruit to England to placate King Charles II, after they'd had the nerve to mint their own shillings. Tart, hard and virtually inedible until cooked, cranberries grow on low trailing shrubs or creepers.
Location: Acid soils and bogs of upper Northeast; mountain cranberry found in similar areas all across far North.
Season: Ripens in fall, often stays on plant over winter.
Warnings: None.
Serviceberries (Juneberries)
Appearance: The red or downy serviceberry of the East and the blue or Saskatoon serviceberry of the Northwest are both dark red to purple, three-tenths of-an-inch-sized fruits with small blossomed calyx lobes that look like oversized blueberries. Serviceberries have noticeable seeds and grow in clusters at ends of twigs. Some species are sweet and juicy; others taste better cooked. Native Americans dried them for pemmican.
Location: Serviceberries grow on small to 20-foot trees that like well-watered ground, often beside streams.
Season: Showy white to pink flowers appear in spring; fruit ripen mid-to late-summer.
Appearance: The wild strawberry is a tiny version of the domesticated varieties (it is of the same species, Fragraia), though it can be sweeter and more fragrant than garden varieties if sun and rain have been good. Leaves have three leaflets with serrated edges and are dull, not shiny like three-leaved poison ivy. The fruit is often raised up to the sun on longish stems.
Location: Fields and meadows everywhere that birds drop seed. Uncommon wood strawberry likes shade and is larger than common variety and not as tasty.
Season: Small flowers with yellow centers and five white petals appear in early spring; fruit ripens from green to white to pink to red in June.
Warnings: None. Wild strawberries have no nasty look-alikes and are never toxic.
Low Berries Of the Northern Woodlands
Appearance: These red, blue, yellow or white, nutritious but mostly blah flavored berries grow low to the ground in the woods of the North country. Bunchberries are a red stone fruit, borne in a cluster atop a whorl of six leaves. Easy to pick, but hard to separate tasteless pulp from seed. Cloudberry, found from the Arctic to New England, grows much the same as red bunchberry but with yellow fruit. Wintergreen or checkerberry of eastern and midwestern north woods ripens in fall and improves with freezing. A relative, creeping snowberry, is white, oval and grows on stems covered with tiny evergreen leaves. Bearberries of the Rockies and North are red and mealy, with colorful leaves used as a ceremonial tobacco by Native Peoples.
Location: All across the U.S. Canadian border, throughout inland Maine and north.
Season: Most ripen in fall; many persist into winter.
Warnings: Many species; a field guide is essential to identify absolutely. But no toxic look-alikes.
Evergreens, Junipers and Yew
Appearance: Red or blue berries growing along branches of evergreen (needled) trees or shrubs. American yew produces attractive, three-eighths-inch, urn-shaped red fruit with a sweet pulp and poison seeds. Western junipers produce dusty blue fruit that look like blueberries.
Location: Yew is a common foundation plant that can be spread anywhere. Junipers grow in California and in portions of the mountain West.
Season: Summer to early winter.
Warnings: Though the fruit looks tempting, yew is best avoided except as an emergency food. Never swallow a seed. Juniper berries are never toxic, but some species contain so much resin they are unpalatable. Utah, California and Rocky Mountain junipers are the good ones. A regional field guide will confirm edibility.
Other Wild Berries
Barberry, the common foundation plant is spread by birds and grows wild in many places. Its familiar, downdrooping, hard red fruit is sour but edible when cooked with sugar. Hawthorn trees produce a mini-apple that is sweetened by frost. Wild (seedling) apples escaped from orchards and wild native plums grow everywhere in the woods. On ocean dunes you'll find sea plums, sea grapes, rose hips and other edible berries. Take a field guide wherever you go. And in areas of unusual plant life—deserts, mountains, ocean rims—pick up a local guide so you can feast safely on nature's bounty of berries. They're free for the picking practically anywhere you wander.
Two of the best field guides carry the same name.
Edible Wild Plants, A North American Field Guide
(Sterling, 1992) by Eilas and Dykeman. By a pair of Ph.D. botanists, a readable and authoritative guide. Color photos of nearly all plants. A first choice.
Edible Wild Plants
(Houghton Mifflin, 1977) by Lee Allen Peterson. By the son of field-guide inventor Roger Tory Peterson, in the familiar field guide format with excellent line drawings by the master and son. A close second choice (though you'd do best to rely on both).
Keep in mind that regional guides are essential for many parts of the continent. Take care to consult them before picking.
Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants
(Chicago Review Press, 1999) by Mother Earth News contributor Christopher Nyerges. A key to 70 plants common to Southern California from a lifelong survivalist with a flair for the unexpected recipe.
Food Plants of Interior First Peoples
(UBC Press, 1997) by Nancy J. Turner. Iron Eyes Cody said of this book, "Every Boy Scout should have a copy." Accompanied by the companion volume covering foods of shore tribes, it makes an informative guide to the myriad wild foods of the upper Pacific Northwest.
Old-Time Know-How from the Deep South
(Anchor Press/Doubleday, 1973), Eliot Washington, ed.
In the continual, often problematic, march of agricultural science and technology are several recent developments in growing berries.
We organic gardeners depend more than many of us realize on a group of soil microflora (tiny plants) with the two-dollar name mycorrhizae (my-co-risé-ae), a term that encompasses many related species of microscopic fungus that inhabit healthy, living organic soil in a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the root systems of nearly all living plants, berry plants included. For the past half-billion years, these tiny, underground relatives of mushrooms have evolved in concert with sun-loving green plants.
Like all fungi, mycorrhizae contain no chlorophyll, so lack green plants' ability to synthesize sugar from water and sunlight. They obtain nourishment by tapping into host plants' roots. In return, they exert a beneficial mechanical and chemical influence on the surrounding soil by extending root fibers and converting raw soil components into forms more readily absorbed and metabolized by their host plants. In addition, the fungi facilitate water intake and transpiration while moderating intake of salt and other chemical soil pollutants. Plants growing in soil inoculated with the appropriate species of mycorrhizae will survive transplantation more easily and will grow and produce better, faster and more uniformly.
A four-year-old California firm, EcoLife Corporation, is growing a variety of mycorrhizae in an all-natural process discovered by founder Mike Brock. Ecolife calls their product Bio-Vam. In addition to the mycorrhizae, Bio-Vam contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria, nematode trapping fungi, humic and folic acid, minerals and other ingredients to give seeds or transplants the best start. Each transplant is inoculated with about one teaspoon of Bio-Vam in the field, is roots soaked in kelp and is planted between the rows of old plants, which will eventually lose vitality and be replaced by the new stock. Annual safflower, rape, mustard and daikon radish are planted as cover crops to put roots down into the soil, break up compaction, capture nitrogen and give some nematode protection.
Ecolife can custom-mix Bio-Vam for most any application, but so far deals in bulk quantities for nurseries or farms. Home gardeners can obtain small lots from their Northeastern distributor: T&J Enterprises of Spokane, Washington. Order by phone (See Sources) or through the secure server on their Internet site: www.tandjenterprises.com. A trial package of wide-spectrum Bio-Vam is available for only $4 prepaid. A quart goes for less than $25 plus shipping. Considering that each quart contains 192 teaspoons and you only need 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per transplant, you can guarantee super production from this fall's raspberry plantings and have enough Bio-Vam left over for next season's vegetable garden.

Many berries propagate vegetatively, that is, baby plants sprout from above-ground runners, underground stolons or live cuttings from a parent plant rather than from seeds. With such direct and prolonged plant-to-plant contact, parents can't help but transmit viral diseases to offspring. And, since there is no effective treatment for viral rusts and blights, it was long thought that breeding in resistance, soil fumigation and periodic renewal of virus-plagued plantings with fresh stock were a routine part of berry culture.
But some years ago, strawberry researchers discovered they could clone disease-free plants by propagating young plants from embryonic "meristem" cells removed from the minuscule tip ends of growing shoots. This undifferentiated plant tissue grows so rapidly that viral infection in the parent has no chance to reach it.
Disease-free meristem cells are removed under a microscope, propagated into tiny plants in test tubes, transferred to laboratory growing cells, then finally planted in sterile ground. Resulting "tissue-cultured" (TC) plants are disease free, healthier and more productive than plants propagated in the usual way. Plantings will remain virus free and productive for years till pathogens arrive from outside.
Meristem culture has recently been adapted to grow popular caneberries as well as strawberries. You can purchase young (four-inch-tall) TC raspberry and blackberry plants right out of the lab, or larger first-generation plants grown in sterilized soil in the nursery.
Before planting any disease-free berry plants, we recommend that you remove and burn any old berry plants along with their mulch, and plant the former berry patch to a green manure, then to assorted garden vegetables. Dig a new berry patch in fresh ground (ideally, soil that has been planted to grains or vegetables for a year or two).
Most important, to keep viral infestation away, pull (roots and all) and burn all live, wild cane berries growing within 1,000 feet or less of the new plants. Burning dead canes, leaves and natural mulch beneath the wild plants is also a good idea. Do this the season before planting new stock to avoid smoke-borne contamination of new plants by nearly indestructible virus spores.

In the early part of this soon-to-be-history century, plant scientists discovered that the fungus that causes destructive white pine blister rust on five-needled pine trees must spend part of its tree-infecting-spore-production cycle as a harmless hitchhiker on a secondary host: wild ribes (gooseberry and currant species). In the Northeast, everything from the masts of sailing ships to matchsticks was made from tall, straight, sweet-cutting white (five-needled) pine. With the imagined threat of a blister rust plague looming over the timber industry, most Northcentral and Northeastern states passed laws against importing domesticated ribes onto their soil.
By the 1960s, it was known that the white pine blister rust uses only wild native ribes species as an intermediate host, not the domesticated varieties. But hardly anyone noticed; what with once-wooden gadgets all being molded from plastic, and building lumber taken over by southern white pine and California Douglas fir, the white pine is no longer an essential building commodity. Due in part to the Eastern states' century-long importation ban, ribes never assumed the same popularity in America as in Europe.
Many of the ancient anti-ribes laws remain on the books, though not all are enforced. But the popular belief persists that gooseberries and currants carry the white pine blister rust. Some nurserymen will not ship ribes berry plants into historically prohibited areas, and others leave it up to the buyer. At present (fall 1999) ribes may not be shipped into Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Rhode Island. States with some restrictions include: Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. The rule of thumb is: "Do not plant ribes within 1,000 feet of a stand of five-needled pine."
Our advice is that you abide by the rule. Originally, a "stand" of pine meant a forest containing enough trees to be logged off profitably. These litigious days, if your neighbor's lone front-yard white pine falls ill from whatever malady, your gooseberries are liable to be held responsible. And they may be. Plant developers use wild berry stocks in crossbreeding to incorporate their native vigor and hardiness, color or taste into new varieties. Unknown to anyone, the latest hot new variety of currant or gooseberry may well harbor a native parent plants susceptibility to white pine blister rust.
Wild berries are abundant in our wild lands and largely ignored by today's suburbanized population. In times of genuine scarcity, rather than a supermarket luxury, berries would become a staple food for those of us who know where the wild ones grow, and when and how to harvest them.
I'm trying to identify a western massachusetts plant with slightly arched raspberry-like seeds, wild rose-like pink blossoms, and grapevine like leaves. I see them near some riverbanks. Are the seeds edible?

Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros Re-Issues Out Today
September 25, 2012
Hellcat Records proudly announces the re- release of three classic albums from the legendary Joe Strummer and his band The Mescalaeros. The albums Rock Art and the X-Ray Style, Global A Go-Go and Streetcore, will be re-issued today on CD and vinyl format which include a comprehensive collection of recorded music, hard to find b-sides and never before heard impassioned live performances that highlights three superb albums.
Fans are invited to stream liveis a live version of "Yalla Yalla" by going here: consequenceofsound.net/2012/09/new-music-joe-strummer-the-mescaleros-yalla-yalla-live-cos-premiere/
Rock Art & The X Ray Style opened Joe Strummer's great final act - three excellent albums recorded along with the Mescaleros between 1999 and his death in 2002 . For ten years before recording his first project with the Mescalaros, Strummer had kept a very low profile after experiencing incredible fame as the front man and rhythm guitarist of the Clash. By the time Joe and the Mescaleros completed their second record, Global A Go - Go in 2001, they were a well-honed group with their own distinctive sound and stance. Their final album, Streetcore, was being recorded at the time of Strummer's unexpected death in December of 2002, during which songs like "Coma Girl" and "Get Down Moses" were recorded. These fan - adored albums are considered to be his most admired work since the Clash years and capture the iconic front-man amidst an undeniable creative resurgence.

At a gorgeous estate in Aspen, festival-goers had a chance to sample top bites from the 10 sensations who were crowned this year's Best New Chefs. Scope out both the chefs and the dishes that took center stage that night when you keep reading. Kelly English's Fried Boudin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The first and one of the very best dishes I tried was Kelly English's fried boudin. The dish, which was served with caramelized onion and ravigote, is a standout item on the menu at his Memphis eatery, Restaurant Iris. 1 / 10 Christopher Kostow's Roasted Corn Custard What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It seemed everybody was raving about the roasted corn custard with popcorn and truffles served up by Napa Valley's Meadowood chef, Christopher Kostow. South Park co-creator Trey Parker told me it was his favorite bite of the night! 2 / 10 Animal's Pork Belly Sandwiches What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook of LA's Animal served a tremendous crowd-pleaser, a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery pork belly sandwiched by a bun. 3 / 10 Nate Appleman's A16 Pork Meatballs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our hometown darling, chef Nate Appleman, of San Francisco's A16 and SPQR, made his famous Monday Meatballs with pork, prosciutto, and beef. They won the people's choice vote. 4 / 10 Linton Hopkins' Grilled Pimento Cheese & Bacon Sandwich What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Atlanta chef Linton Hopkins of Holeman & Finch created an insanely comforting grilled cheese composed of Southern staples bacon and pimento cheese. 6 / 10 Mark Fuller's British Columbia Sea Scallop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chef Mark Fuller, of Seattle's Spring Hill, composed an elegant, refined scallop dish with nectarines, Tokyo turnip, sweet corn, and a lavender beurre fondue. 6 / 10 Barry Maiden's Smoked Trout Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Boston's Barry Maiden, who's at the helm of the Hungry Mother, turned to nostalgia for his smoked trout salad on a a scallion ho-cake. The best part? The trout skin cracklins! 7 / 10 Bryan Caswell's Crab Cocktail Shooters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bryan Caswell, the mastermind behind my new favorite Houston restaurant, Reef, served up a creative crab cocktail shooter — which came and went so quickly that I didn't get a picture of it. Attendees enjoyed the crab leg first, followed by a "shot" of mignonette sauce. 8 / 10 Paul Liebrandt's Uni Ice Cream What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The crew at Manhattan's Corton — spearheaded by chef Paul Liebrandt — piped the dish of the night, uni ice cream with konbu gelée and cauliflower creme, into miniature bowls. 9 / 10 Naomi Pomeroy's Charcuterie Plate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chef Naomi Pomeroy, of Portland's Beast, took the charcuterie plate to another level with a trio of ultrarich, luscious bites: country pâté, steak tartare with quail egg toast, and a foie gras bon-bon. 11 / 10 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Aspen Food And WineBarry MaidenPaul LiebrandtChristopher KostowLinton HopkinsMark FullerJon ShookVinny DotoloNaomi PomeroyKelly EnglishAspen Food And WineBryan CaswellNate ApplemanBest New Chefs DinnerEventsEvent CoverageBest New ChefsFood And Wine Aspen Food and Wine How to Pair Wine With Asparagus and Artichokes 3/17 Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating a Food Festival 10/16/13 Food Stars' Secret Chef Crushes, Revealed! 9/09/13 Let Our Favorite Top Chefs Expand Your Foodie Vocabulary 8/18/13 What Does "Chewy" Mean Anyway?

After 4 months of treatment I was up almost every night with lower back, leg, hip and muscle pain. Also, I developed colon problems and GERD.

Tell the DOJ: Bring federal charges against Ramarley Graham's killer
Two years ago, plainclothes NYPD Officer Richard Haste racially profiled and killed Ramarley Graham, a frightened and unarmed 18-year-old attempting to flush marijuana down the toilet in his Bronx home. Despite the brutality and injustice of Ramarley's murder, New York courts have failed to hold Officer Haste accountable for his deadly action.
The Department of Justice has the power to take over the case and ensure justice for Ramarley and his family. Join us in creating enough public pressure to influence the DOJ and U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to take immediate action. More »

Big Data Is A Civil Rights Issue
Big data is revolutionizing commerce and government for the better, but it is also supercharging the potential for discrimination. Protecting civil rights in this new environment requires a thoughtful update to our nation's policies on privacy and data.

Lagesse Named 'The People's Choice' on HLN
Related Links
Friday, April 09, 2010
Valparaiso sophomore pitcher Alex Lagesse (Beecher, Ill./Beecher) has been named 'The People's Choice' this week on the Horizon League Network, and is spotlighted in the featured video on the HLN website via phone interview.
Lagesse becomes the first Crusader softball player to earn 'The People's Choice' honor, which is a weekly segment on HLN that allows fans to choose which athlete they believed had the most outstanding week among the Horizon League's Athletes of the Week. Voting is open from Monday around noon through Tuesday afternoon each week, with an interview with the winner posted on HLN Thursday afternoon.
Lagesse earned Horizon League Pitcher of the Week honors last week, her second straight accolade and third of the season, after tossing nine shutout innings over three appearances, including two victories. In the interview with HLN's Damon Lewis, Lagesse talks about the work she and the rest of the team put in over the offseason to enjoy the success the Crusaders have had to date, as well as how having a well-rounded pitching staff has helped the team. They also look ahead to the Crusaders' upcoming slate of games.

Tulsa >Home & Garden > Rove Pest Control
1611 S Utica Ave # 288, Tulsa, OK | Directions 7410436.138870 -95.966977
Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm
Neighborhoods: Cherry Street
They couldn't ever get rid of my ant problem after several appointments between my regularly scheduled services. I also continuously had spider and wasp issues after specifically pointing out those issues, it was like they weren't treating anything and just billing me for it. You would think days or a week later and you would be able to tell a difference but not with Rove, it's like they were attracting insects instead of killing and driving them away. They have terrible customer service, condescending and rude people. Really wish I had cancelled sooner.
I was new to Broken Arrow when I hired them and regret not looking into other companies before I let a door to door salesmen talk me into this joke of a contract, please learn from my mistake. These clowns only care about money and have terrible attitudes. I now use Bulwark Exterminating and it is amazing, my ant problem is completely gone and their customer service is excellent. It is night and day compared to Rove. Please don't waste your time and hard earned money on Rove unless those things just aren't important to you.
Excellent Service – I must say that I have always been impressed with Rove Pest Control. The technicians are always friendly and always make sure I have been taken care of. We have needed to use them on occasion for extra services, but they have always been prompt about returning. I would recommend them to anyone.
Decent company – (read all) A nice kid came by and asked if we'd like to sign up with Rove. I said okay and I was going to be billed in such a way that whenever they came out they'd charge my card but that was the extent of it. There was no contract or anything like that. And yet, suddenly I do have a contract with them because when I canceled service (just didn't like their customer service, they were hard to reach/return calls) they sent me a bill for 178.20 for an early terminartion fee. This wasn't supposed to be a contract, and yet they put me in one. However, after contacting the owner by e-mail the situation was resolved in a very respectful manner. Apparently, the young man who came by, it was his first time to sign someone up so he didn't correctly follow procedure to show me I had signed up for a contract. I learned Rove will accomdate people who do want to "pay as you go." So, in the end, this is a decent company with areas in need of improvement just like any other.
DON'T USE ROVE!!!!!!! – They came by my house saying they had one slot left for their spring treatment and they would give me a half off discount to fill that spot. It was a year contract at $70 a visit and they did the worst job ever! Still had bugs in our yard and ticks in the back yard. When I called and told them I still had problems with ticks they were rude, and when the guy came out to spray I told him what I was told on the phone and he all but called me a lier. Save your money and use another service or buy your pest control supply at your local hardware store!!!
Great Pest Control – Rove Pest Control has been servicing our house for over five years. I appreciate the quick responses and return trip for free if requested - without question. Ask for Roger as your technician. He is very professional and does a great job.
Rove Pest Control Review – Rove Pest Control has been servicing our house for over three years now. Their professionalism and outstanding technicans are without question. I also appreciate the quick responses and return trip for free if requested - without question. I especially appreciate the fine work of Roger. This is truly a customer service oriented company. Others can learn from them.

Austin >Food & Dining > Tamale House
5003 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX | Directions 7875130.311364 -97.715289
Neighborhoods: Hyde Park
Fast, Cheap, Good! – Headline says it all. Take a tums with you...but the food is great, prices are even better. Downside is the seating but hey, it's Austin...Pop the hatch on the back of your SUV, or pull down the tailgate and you are good to go. Mmm, i want a carne guisada right now.
No tamales – They should change the name, because they don't have tamales anymore. They have tacos (breakfast and regular), enchiladas, dinner plates, etc., but no tamales.
Neighborhood dive serves quick, cheap authentic Mexican staples. – In Short
Small and always crowded, this Mexican find attracts all kinds, including nearby university students and professionals in transit. As the sign posted states, the lack of air-conditioning may be uncomfortable but it keeps costs down. To-go is popular as there are only a couple of tables available outdoors. Heaping breakfast tacos are the biggest hit with over seventeen varieties. The menu includes other standard Mexican dishes, like crispy tacos, migas, huevos rancheros and chalupas.
Awesome – With the prcies at the Tamale House, they're practically giving them away and the best part about it is the food is fantastic. For under 3 dollars, you can get some of the best breakfast tacos in an astounding array of combinations. Plus they have awesome homemade salsa (spicy) to boot. Everytime I've been there's been a line to the door, but the service is fast and I'm usally out with tacos in hand in about 5 minutes. You won't be disapointed, and if your are then it can be assumed that you have no breeding or culture.
Talk about Tacos – Their breakfast tacos are so good, we have made it company procedure to gather in the conference room and eat tacos from the Tamale House every Friday morning. I thought that with such a large order I would need to call it in...but when I told her what I needed, she didn't blink an eye. They are used to placing large orders and work fast to deliver hot food quickly. Yummie and Cheap, you can't ask for anything better.
so, so cheap – I used to live around the corner from the Tamale House. You really can't beat the prices here. You can fill up on breakfast tacos for $2-3. Lunch is the same.

I was surprised by a beautiful Green Darner (Anax junius) the other day while moving some pots on the roof. I must have been out there puttering around for two hours before I noticed it quietly resting on a white sage (Salvia apiana) plant. I hope it caught some mosquitoes.
This isn't our first dragonfly visit of the year. It's always surprising who and what will find our little oasis in the sky. More of these and less raccoons please.
On the white sage: It's not hardy here in Toronto, but I've managed to overwinter this one successfully over several seasons now by simply cutting it back hard and forgetting about it. You know, I'm not really much of a fan at this size — they are much more beautiful when they are grown as bushes, but alas I can't really achieve that here without a bigger pot and more space. I've kept it in a sunny window giving it water here and there through the winter and I've set it in the hallway where it is cold, the windows are north-facing, and it received almost no attention. We even went away for a month last winter and friends were not instructed to water it. This plant lives on no matter what.

Crusaders Receive More Preseason Praise
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Last season's mad dash to the Horizon League title continues to pay dividends for the Valparaiso Crusaders.
College Sports Madness announced its 2013 Horizon League Baseball Preseason All-Conference Teams yesterday and nearly every returning starter was recognized.
Sophomore shortstop Spencer Mahoney (La Grange Park, Ill./Lyons Township HS) was named Field Player of the Year joining Elliott Martin (Irvine, Calif./University HS [Saddleback CC]) and Tanner Vavra (Menomonie, Wis./Menomonie HS [Madison CC]) on the infield. The trio combined for 93 runs batted in and 108 runs scored in 2012. The accolades bode well for the 2013 Crusaders considering the lone infielder left out of voting - John Loeffler (Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville HS [Des Moines Area CC]) - smacked a team-high 18 doubles while recording a .400 on-base percentage.
Outfielder Chris Manning (Irvine, Calif./El Toro HS) was also named to the All-Horizon League First Team along with utility man Andrew Bain (Evansville, Ind./Park Tudor HS).
Starting pitcher Kyle Wormington (Norman, Okla./North HS [Connors State CC]) represents the lone carryover of a rotation that last season compiled 335 innings. His 6-6 record and 3.33 earned run average garnered him an All-Horizon League First Team nomination as well.
The Crusaders open their season Saturday, February 15th in Nashville versus the Belmont Bruins. First pitch is set for 4:00 pm.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
EASD: Adding Incretin to Insulin Lowers HbA1cPosted: Sunday, October 03, 2010
Adding exenatide to insulin glargine for patients who aren't fully controlled with insulin glargine and/or other oral agents can help to improve their blood glucose.
According to Richard Bergenstal, MD, of the University of Minnesota, and colleagues, after six months patients taking exenatide twice daily had significantly greater improvements in A1c than those on placebo (P<0.001).
"In patients with longstanding Type 2 diabetes not ideally controlled on oral agents and insulin glargine, the addition of exenatide ... followed by continued optimization of insulin glargine, showed greater improvements in A1c," said Bergenstal, who is also president of the American Diabetes Association. He added that there was no increased risk of hypoglycemia.
This is the first trial using a GLP-1 receptor agonist with basal insulin, a combination that is not yet approved in the United States or Europe.
The researchers assessed a total of 259 patients with a mean age of 59 who were taking insulin glargine and other oral agents. They were randomized to receive either 10 mcg of exenatide twice a day or placebo, in addition to their insulin.
Insulin was titrated throughout the study to optimize fasting glucose. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c after six months. The researchers found that by the end of the study period, A1c decreased by 1.71% with exenatide, compared with 1% for those on placebo (P<0.001).
Postprandial glucose was also improved for those on exenatide. Values of 1,5-AG, a marker of glucose after a meal (the higher the value, the lower the glucose level), were significantly higher for those on the drug compared with placebo (P=0.003).
Fasting glucose wasn't different between groups, but non-fasting, self-monitored blood sugar decreased more in the exenatide group compared with placebo (P=0.039).
Patients lost weight on the drug, dropping a mean 1.78 kg. On the other hand, those in the placebo group gained a mean of 0.96 kg (P=0.011).
Bergenstal noted that the observed weight loss was "interesting" because it "showed a significant and steady reduction in weight over the course of the trial despite insulin therapy," which is surprising since patients tend to gain weight on insulin. However, the insulin dose increased more among those on placebo (P=0.026).
There were significantly more of the expected side effects in the exenatide group, mainly gastrointestinal upset (P<0.05). "Nausea is typical at the beginning, but most people did get used to it," he said. There were no differences in the rate of hypoglycemia, and only two severe hypoglycemic events occurred in the placebo group -- in the same patient overnight.
* Note that this study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
* Explain to interested patients that giving exenatide (Byetta) to patients who aren't fully controlled with insulin glargine and other oral agents improves their blood glucose.
