What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! Do you feel summer starting to wind down? I do. I've seen the harbingers of autumn-the acorns, the falling leaves, the goldenrod, the earlier sunsets. What's funny, though, is that as someone who has a known reputation for not particularly caring for summer, I find myself feeling the slightest tinges of "oh, not just yet, please!" I'm not quite ready for the fresh tomatoes to disappear, or for the ability to justify ice cream consumption at any time of day to pass, or the profusion of ripe, ambrosial peaches to fade from market shelves, or the trips to the community swimming pool to end. If we could just keep all of that goodness around for a bit longer, and add cardigans and mugs of hot toddies to the mix, that'd be just grand.
In other news, here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention:
*My talented friend Chris Bryant, who served as the art director on Keeping Chickens, Canning & Preserving, Keeping Bees, Home Dairy (which was recently translated to Russian!), and A Year of Pies (now available in Dutch!), has a book of his own coming out. It's on chips-all of them. All the chips. You will most definitely want to add it to your cookbook collection. Oh, and Chris just started a blog, Extra Slaw. Good things coming at you, for sure!
*Imagine Childhood is hosting a giveaway of "Handmade Gatherings", and offering up my recipe for Spiced Apple Poundcake from the book. Also, their autumn look book is up and it's amazing!
*This essay on not succumbing to the "tyranny of trends" is equal parts hilarious and brilliant. Really puts things into perspective.
*There is little better than a chilled soup on a hot summer day. Here are 10 recipes to help you keep your cool.
*Mother Earth Living magazine did a feature interview of me for their current issue. You can check out the story here, which also includes three of my tips for hosting successful potlucks and my recipe for Butternut Squash & Herbed Cider Soup from Handmade Gatherings.
*Smokey Eggplant Dip, hallelujiah!
*Liesl Made is a fun new-to-me blog and shop.
*Feeling like a new pair of shoes for autumn and these Faraway Fields Oxfords are calling my name.
*Natalie's tiny home is pretty much done. Which means…..next week, she moves it out here! Woohoo! In exchange for putting her home on our land, she'll help us out a few hours each week with gardening and other outdoor pursuits. She's already planted crops in five beds in the garden and brought out chicken feed from her store for our flock. I am beyond excited about this partnership!
My mom has been in the hospital since this past Sunday. She has a host of health concerns, the most serious of which is atrial fibrillation, or a heart arrhythmia. She was having trouble getting her heart back into rhythm, and there was talk of attempting to "shock" it back into synch. Huxley and I went to visit her yesterday afternoon, and right before we arrived, it turned out that her most recent EKG showed it had gone back into rhythm. She gets discharged today and we'll pick her up and take her back to her home. YES! It's been a challenging week, for her physically and for me emotionally. I know that, in the hospital, she's in the best place, given her health concerns. That said, she's my mom, and I don't like the idea of anyone being holed up in the hospital for an extended period of time, having a battery of tests run on them, trying to coax them back to health. I'm thrilled to know that, come this evening, she'll be back in the comfort of her own home, padding around in her slippers, and cozying into her own bed.
We've got another picnic to photograph this Sunday. It'll be the 13th one, of 20. My manuscript is due to my editor on October 1st, so we're down to the wire now. SO much work, but so much fun, too, because, PICNICS!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I typically post a photo of Huxley in my What I'm Digging round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. Today, though, I'm showing a collection of images of many things I've been enjoying lately, including (from the top): lush walks down the driveway with my fellas, mountaintop picnics, annual pie competitions (my Peaches & Cream Crumble-Top Pie from A Year of Pies is at the far right corner of the second pie image), a Table To Farm picnic, new overalls (thank you, Thred Up!), our humble yet cozy home, and summer eats!
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! It's raining and cool here in the cove today, a welcome break from the warmer temps we had this week. Really, though, who am I kidding, talking about "warmer temps" and other such nonsense? For my birthday last month, Glenn bought me a portable air conditioner, owing to how I get all kinds of crabby and wilty and otherwise unpleasant when really hot. It's been so nice and cool, though, that we haven't even had to fire it up! And halfway through the night, every night, we're still pulling the comforter up around our shoulders. Even on the second floor.
When looking at my garden the other day, and feeling equally frustrated and guilty and anxious and discouraged and hopeful at its tandem successes and failures, several things occurred to me. To begin, four years ago, I was quite pregnant and it was also the hottest summer in 50 years, so the garden didn't really happen. And then, over the past three summers, I have been writing books. When I'm working on a new book in earnest, there are some things that have to get sidelined in order to get the writing done while simultaneously take care of Huxley, and maintain the home, marriage, homestead, etc.. I'm also not a fan of the heat (see above). Finally, I still have so much to learn about organic gardening. I've been working on building up the soil, but I do live in a temperate rain forest, with its attendant plethora of insects. The challenges they present is ENORMOUS, people. Enormous.
It dawned on me that all of these things in combination have made it increasingly challenging to have the lush, verdant, abundant vegetable garden of my dreams come summertime. So I made a few decisions. For starters, screw the guilt. There's an incredible organic farmer about 1/2 mile down the road from us that grows exactly what I'm working on here, but with multiple decades worth of organic gardening experience under his belt. At Hominy Valley Organic Farm, I can stop in on Fridays (open farm day), chat with Tom, and purchase some of the most beautiful, delicious vegetables I've ever encountered at a very, very good price. I can stick (for now) to growing what really works for me in the garden, and leave the battles with cabbageworms, squash vine borers, carrot fly, and more to him.
Secondly, my intuition keeps telling me that perennial gardening is where it's at. Working with nature instead of against it and achieving a symbiosis is what I want. To that end, I recently purchased Gaia's Garden. I'm getting all kinds of excited about implementing some of the perennial/permaculture techniques it details.Then I can have the garden I desire, purchase some crops from Tom, keep writing in the summer, and feel less crazy about the entire process. Amen to all that.
In other news, here's a smattering of this and that's that've caught my attention recently:
*The mason jar-use it for SO much more than just strawberry jam and pickled beets!
*Several weeks ago, when I was feeling a bit misanthropic (it happens to us all!), Glenn directed me to this. So, so good.
*When I was in college, I used to burn rosemary essential oil in a diffuser when studying for exams. Here's why.
*Six reasons to love lavender.
*My friend Jenna Woginrich, fellow author and blogger, has launched a Kickstarter campaign. She's working on her first bit of fiction, a novel about (as she described it an email to me) "a farm in upstate NY in 1920, a farmy-paranormal piece of mystery and a heck of a lot of fun." Check out the video and help her realize her dream, if you can!
*It's tomato season. Genevieve has 28 ideas for what to do with them.
*Very sweet idea for a DIY campfire candle.
*Speaking of fragrances, I picked up a box of these cedar incense cones as a gift to myself on Mother's Day. I begin each morning now by burning one, to clear the air and enliven the kitchen while I feed the animals, get Huxley going, and prepare the coffee. Good stuff.
*If you're a mother, you might enjoy checking out The Ma Books, a collaboratively written blog about what mothering means to each of us.
*My father, his wife, and my sisters gifted Glenn for his birthday with this amazing book about the oldest living things. Exquisitely photographed, it is a sensory feast, and a reminder that we're not the only beings witnessing what's happening on this planet.
I'm back to working on picnics this weekend. We photographed 10 of them before Jen Altman, the book's photographer, headed out of town for the month of July. She's back, and so we're back in action, as of Sunday, as we've got 10 (!!!) more to go. Fingers crossed the weather accommodates and our shoot isn't caught in a deluge. We'll be high atop a mountain bald up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Should be epic if all goes according to plan!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post an image of Huxley in my What I'm Digging posts because, truly, he's what Glenn and I dig the most. This is him a few weeks ago, up at Black Balsam on the Blue Ridge Parkway. He said "This is a good hike, mama. I love this view!"
Write: Doe Bay
About four years ago, I wanted nothing more than to visit the Pacific Northwest. I'd been there once, for less than 12 hours, when I was traveling to San Francisco with my friend Bonner in the summer of 2002. We stayed overnight at a hostel in Portland and were up and out early the next morning. No, what I wanted was a full immersion. From the Columbia River Gorge to Astoria and Cannon Beach (Goonies!) right on up to the Olympic Peninsula and the San Juan Islands. So intense was my devotion and consuming desire of the PNW that I'd check the weather forecasts out there, especially when I was pregnant and it was sweltering here and I was miserable, but it was a cool, happy 72 degrees in July on Friday Harbor.
Well, friends. I'm here today to tell you that dreams really do come true. This October, I'm turning my compass (er, jet plane?) west, hopping on a plane (many planes, actually), and making my way to the place I have long dreamed of, pined for, and desired to tromp around in. Not only am I visiting it, though, the crowing glory is that I'll be doing so while teaching. On Orcas Island. At a writer's conference. Be still my heart.
The video above gives you a taste of what Write: Doe Bay is all about. Held at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island, Washington,Write Fall will take place October 9-12, bringing together 25 participants and a handful of alumni. As detailed by the conference's producers: "Through shared meals and shared housing, a new vision for a writer's retreat will take place. Community will flourish, walls will break down and love will flow. The workshop bridges genre gaps along the feather of storytelling, where songwriting presents as poetry, poetry as memoir and memoir as narrative song. At Doe Bay, we are all storytellers and we all have a tale to unlock, whichever genre our words choose, and we'll present the key to unlocking the raw narrative inside." So, so good, right? Right.
Registration is about halfway full, so now is the time to claim the last few remaining spots. Myself, Claire Bidwell Smith, Jillian Lauren, and Daniel Blue will gather with Write participants to guide workshops in creative writing. While I've taught numerous classes on how to raise chickens, can preserves, make cheese, yogurt & butter, and create body care products, I've yet to actually teach about the craft of writing. This is a new direction for me, and one which I feel emboldened to embrace. I'm also wanting to dabble in other literary genres myself, and hope to learn a thing or two while there, in addition to teaching. The teacher is the student, and all that.
Come out to Orcas Island, if you can! I would so love to meet you! This event promises to be more than just a writer's retreat in a gorgeous setting. From all I've seen and read, it looks like lives are changed here. Dare to dream, friends!
Blue Ridge Books Event
Local friends, let's meet and greet! I'll be at the lovely Blue Ridge Books in Waynesville, NC this coming Sunday. Details are above. If you're available and interested, I'd love to give you a hug in person!
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! I'm writing you today from my dining room table, where the windows are open, rain is falling, it's about 68 degrees outside, and I'm comfortably wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt. In mid/late July. The forecast for the next 8-9 days calls for more temps in the 70′s and low 80′s. While the mountains of western North Carolina are known for their temperate summers, this is proving to be an especially unusual one. But when I'm still sleeping under a down comforter at night, on the second floor of a house with no a.c. in the middle of summer, I have no intentions of complaining. I know parts of the midwest had mornings in the 40′s this week. Craziness. Meanwhile the Pacific northwest is hot and battling wild fires (sending these in the line of the blaze thoughts for safety and calmer winds and rain!). It's a wacky summer, to be sure.
Since I last posted, I had a birthday. It's funny, with the amount of entertaining I've been doing professionally, for my books, come my own celebratory day, I just want things to be as low key and chill as possible. We headed up to the Pisgah Inn for pancakes and stellar views, where several dear friends met up with us. Then, with our buddy Rich, we drove to Black Balsam for a hike. A mountain bald, that spot is my favorite of the hikes and views I've encountered on the Blue Ridge Parkway thus far. The summer I turned 30, I took a friend with me to the U.K.. After several nights in London, and one night in Glasgow, we travelled by train to the western highlands of Scotland. Pure magic, that place, and one of the few places I've visited that felt so very much like "home" upon arriving. Black Balsam reminds me of the Scottish Highlands (minus the black pudding and beans for breakfast, mind you). For the past three years, this has been my birthday ritual-pancakes at Pisgah Inn followed by a hike at Black Balsam (or Graveyard Fields). It is peaceful and fulfilling in a way that seems genetically appropriate-which is to say, my ancestors hail from the very part of Scotland I visited, and Scottish settlers called this region of Appalachia home long ago, so, it is well with my soul, to be here, in this place, on the day of my birth.
In other news, here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention recently:
*The cabbageworms wiped out my brassicas this year, twice over. Next year (or maybe even for my fall garden), it's all about the row cover.
*Karen Solomon has done it again, this time with a new book on Asian Pickles.
*Love the idea of making these DIY leather earrings for loved ones.
*Baking Tara's blueberry crisp as soon as I publish this round-up.
*Got mosquitos? Battle them by planting and growing all-natural repellant plants.
*Go immediately and enter this AMAZING giveaway, offering all of these things (including a full set of my Homemade Living books series!):
1) One $200 Gift Certificate to Local Harvest
2) One "Locally Grown" t-shirt, graciously donated by Fed by Threads
3) One Preserving by the Pint book, graciously donated by Marisa McClellan
4) One set of autographed Homemade Living Series books, graciously donated by Ashley English
5) One The Art of Gardening: Building Your Soil eBook, graciously donated by Susan of Learning and Yearning
*Wonderful blog post on the Evocative Power of Hands, by my dear friend Nicole.
*Tim's Tabbouleh is infinitely adaptable to whatever inspires you at the farmer's market or in your garden.
*Six ways to preserve summer's bounty (there's much more to preserving than just canning!).
*This lovely U.K.-based crafting blog is giving away 5 (!!!) copies of my book Handmade Gatherings!
*Just discovered Dig This Chick and am seriously enjoying getting to know it.
*I need some Sweet Cherry Chutney in my life.
The forecast for rain continues all weekend. Taking Huxley to a toddler ninja class in the morning. He'll be pumped! Then we'll likely make a beeline for the North Asheville Tailgate Market, and the Farm & Sparrow tent specifically. I dream about their pastries all week. Glenn's younger sister, Pam, and her three children Sophie (15), Sam (12), and Zeke (8) are visiting, so the weekend will otherwise include much cousin hang time for Huxley. He loves those kids so much, calling Sam and Zeke his brothers, or, to be phonetically specific, his "brudders" (he's remarkably gifted at enunciation, but there are a few works he says in the sweetest kid way, this being one of them. "Brek-tist", for "breakfast", is another. I almost don't have the heart to correct him. He'll say it right eventually, but for now, brudders and brektist it is!).
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post a photo of Huxley in my What I'm Digging round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. We finally discovered our amazing community pool this week (after only 7 years of living here, sheesh!). This ice cream treat at The Hop was a post inaugural swim treat (not seen, my and Glenn's banana splits-each of us-off camera). He begins swimming lessons there on Monday and is beyond excited to swim "like a fishie"!
*When I'm working on a new book, as I am now, I sometimes just don't get around to posting here as regularly as I'd like. Such is life. You can always keep up with me on Instagram, though. And if you're not on there, you can still see my captioned images by clicking on the photos on the left column here titled "Instagram."

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican National Party chair Reince Priebus says that Todd Akin's insistence on staying in the Missouri Senate race could cost the party its chance to win control of the Senate.
Priebus says Akin "should put the mission of liberty and freedom ahead of himself" and leave the race.
Akin has ignored calls from national GOP leaders, including Priebus and presidential contender Mitt Romney, to leave the race against incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. Republicans hope to pick off her seat and capture a Senate majority in the November elections.
Akin has apologized repeatedly for comments made a week ago that pregnancy in a "legitimate rape" is rare because the female body tries "to shut that whole thing down."
Priebus made his comments Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

Got my Boxee Box update today, letting me know that I definitely won't be getting an actual Boxee Box today or anytime this month.
That's OK, we know this product will not be vaporware. In fact, Boxee just wanted to give the heads up that it looks like we can expect the Boxee Box by D-Link this November.
The email did not include any pricing details, but I was told that Boxee and D-Link are still aiming toward a product that doesn't exceed $200. Anyone who's used Boxee should be pretty excited about that prospect, too, for all of the aggregation and streaming that you'll be able to enjoy from your couch instead of your PC.
From Boxee's Avner Ronen:
We realize many of you have waited months to purchase the Boxee Box, and we know how frustrating this is. Believe us when we say that both Boxee & D-Link want to start selling Boxee Boxes yesterday.
The original plan was to have the Box out by the end of Q2 (i.e. just about now), but that time-frame proved overly ambitious.
Our vision is to make the Boxee experience on a set top box as good as (and where we can, better than) the one you already know on a PC. The goal is to play HD videos from the web or a local network in 1080p and use hardware acceleration whenever possible. And to provide a TV browser experience that can handle almost everything you throw at it, including Flash 10.1. Not to mention making all this happen for an affordable price and on a quiet device that will not feel obsolete 12 months after you buy it.
And with the increasing amount of apps that comes with the company's open development—Boxee's presenting to the New York Linux Users Group this week, for example—we're confident the goodies basket that comes out of Boxee and D-Link by November will be overflowing with more cool apps like the recently incorporated Wolfgang's Vault app.

Small and friendly hotelPosted Jul 24, 2012
Pros: Very nice staff.
Cons: Very small room
Location: Gatehouse of Fleet is an extremely nice place to stay and the surrounding area particularly beautiful.
This hotel is "small and friendly" but the room we were allocated was far from really being a double room. Very small with very little room round the bed. However the bed was comfortable and the room and ensuite were very clean. The breakfast was good and the staff extremely nice and very very helpful. The bar area and dining room were not really what we would term inviting. Having said that, for what we paid for two nights it was adequate.

Quirky but worth a stayPosted Jun 15, 2012
Location: Gatehouse of Fleet is a great base for touring and walking.
tiny but comfortable room, very comfortable bed. visitor book going back four years contains comments re TV not working and it still doesn't. Left room at 8.25 am for breakfast. Downstairs was in darkness and front doors were locked with no sign of anyone present. After a short walk i returned to the hotel and breakfast staff were then present and I was served promptly. in saying all that, I enjoyed my stay and will stay again.

Location: Lovely village. Limited, but nice shops. Good park. Lovely countryside and coast to explore.
Twin room as travelling with 12 yrs old granddaughter. Beds comfortable, bed linen freshly ironed, white and very clean/fresh. Plenty of extra bedding in the room. Excellent drawer space. Plenty of hnagers in wardrobe. Shower best ever. Water lovely and hot whenever needed. Good size wash basin and toilet flushed well. Decor dated, but very clean. Nice curtains with good backout. Old style TV and very high up, but SKY, although not every channel - plenty for a 2 day stay! Nice guest lounge. Breakfast extremely good, and cooked individually. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful - nothing too much trouble. Small bar, but functional etc. Lovely dining room - simple decor, but clean and fresh.

Awaiting developmentPosted May 17, 2012
Pros: The staff where very helpful and eager to please.
Location: The town is very pleasant, very interesting and full of history
The room was clean, however whilsr the bed looked attractive it was uncomfortable. Probible because it had not been errected correctly. The radiator in the room needed to be bled it was warm at the bottom but cold at the top. In the ensuit the light above the mirror was broken and not working. Overall this hotel was under going alterations which were almost completed as could be seen in the dinning area. But the finer details have not yet been completed. I am sure that when completed this will be a very pleasant hotel.

Yesterday I brought big Anthony Mantha to your attention and said you should keep an eye on him as he's on the rise. Well, there's another kid you should get to know that's already on big ice and lately his star is rising fast. Nick Bjugstad, C (2 G, 5 SOG, +1) is on a roll with seven points in his last three games including multiple two goal games giving him six goals in his last seven games. In fact, he has nine points in his last eight games and these totals aren't unexpected. He started the season slowly, but at just 22 years of age and one full season under his belt that's not surprising. It was only a matter of time before he started producing, and here it is. Can he keep it up? Absolutely. Just like Mantha he's a big boy at 6'5", 215lbs and he knows how to use his big frame to create space and opportunities for himself. Clearly he knows how to cash in on those opportunities as well bringing a heavy, accurate shot to the table in his big bag o' tricks. He's not just big; he's strong too often winning battles along the boards. With exceptional on-ice awareness and vision he rarely finds himself out of position. Lately he's playing with fellow prospect Jonathan Huberdeau (2 A, 4 SOG, +1) and veteran Brad Boyes (+1) so it's a solid line for him to grow on. I don't expect more than 50 points from Jugs, but he could beat that mark if he and Huber gel like the Cats hope they will. In any case, he should be added in all keeper leagues if he was on the wire and in deep re-drafts as well. It may not be long before he's relevant in all leagues, so like I always say, get it while the gettins' good, y'all! Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Red Wings General Manager Ken Holland is a pretty solid GM as far as GMs go. He always manages to pluck these unknown Swedes out of, well, Sweden and the Wings system turns them into legitimate players in fairly short order. This time he set his sights on a gifted Canadian winger out of Longueuil, Quebec by the name of Anthony Mantha and you'd do well to track his progress in the AHL because he has all the tools to be a top six player for the Wings sooner than later. Before he went down with a broken leg in the pre-season Mantha had a shot to crack the Wings' NHL roster, alas it wasn't meant to be, yet. Well, he's healed up now and the 6'5" 206lb scoring threat is healthy and recently made his AHL debut and he set to work right rining the puck off two posts, but didn't find the back of the net. No worries, he potted his first goal in his second game. That's going to be a theme for the youngster and it can be argued that he's one of the best pure goal scorers to come up since Steven Stamkos. Yes, you read that right. He sports a heavy wrister that he can fire off before you even considered he was going to shoot and man, it's accurate. Beyond his ability to shoot the puck he uses his big frame to force through traffic with general ease and knocking him off the puck is no easy task. He's proven himself to be a great positional player with outstanding on ice awareness, but there are of course some negatives as with any young player, and the big fella might be a bit too offensively focused leaving his defense as the weakest part of his game. There has also been some criticism that he lacks consistency, but hey, he's young and nobody's perfect (except Victor Hedman). Word has it that the Wings would rather he spend his time getting solid minutes with the Griffins than sitting on the bench for the Wings, but considering the fragility of their key top-six forwards (We're all looking at you, Pavel Datsyuk) I wouldn't be surprised if the kid gets a shot at big ice this year. While he's not worth adding outside of deep dynasty leagues for the time being, keep an eye on him because he's going to be something special. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you drafted Mikael Granlund expecting a solid season after he burst onto the scene late last year you're in the same boat with me so lets cry together. Eh, it's not that serious considering his ADP, but if Mike has spurned you you might consider taking a look at his brother Markus Granlund, C (2 A, 1 SOG, +3). Markus has four points in his last two games and eight points in nine games since being called up to big ice and makes him absolutely worth a look. He's not unlike his brother in that he's a bit small at 5'11", 185 lbs and generally offensively gifted, especially in dishing the puck out. He's poised, has great hands and great vision and can be counted on for exactly what we hoped to get out of his brother Mike. The downsie is that his defensive game can make him a liability, but he wins faceoffs so that helps mitigate the problem. With sheltered minutes he could be a solid contributor while playing most of his time on a line with Johnny Gaudreau (1 A, 1 SOG, +2) and Jiri Hudler (1 G, 2 SOG, +1). That's a unit with a solid mix of veteran stability and young talent on the rise, so it bodes well for Granlund's continued production given he's primarily a playmaker. That line is a microcosm of what the Flames are as a team this season and that's not a bad thing. Moving forward I figure you can expect Granlund to keep the pace up with a bit of regression. I don't see a 60-point season in the works, but I think around 45-50 points is definitely within reach. For those of you in deeper pools this guy has a lot of value and he's worth taking a flier on now. If he keeps it up, those in more shallow leagues might find themselves picking him up sooner than later, so why not sooner? Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Seven years ago Kris Versteeg, RW – (1 G, 2 A, +3, 7 SOG) started his career in Chicago with high hopes and what seemed like a higher ceiling. Initially all the signs looked good; he notched 20 goals in each of his first two full seasons and ended up with 53 and 44 points in each season respectively. Despite the slight drop-off in production many expected a breakout season in 2010, but alas, it didn't happen. In what would become a theme for throughout his young career Versteeg went down with a knee injury. Over the next few seasons he struggled with more knee problems and after failed stints in Philly and Toronto he landed in Florida where it looked like he regained his form setting a career high in goals with 23 and points with 54. Again, a breakout was expected the following season and again knee problems knocked him down, but if Kris Versteeg has shown us anything in his time on big ice, it's that you can knock him down but he's going to get right back up. Fast forward three more years and it's 2014, Versteeg's knee is doing well and since joining a line with Brad Richards and Patrick Kane he's been scoring to the tune of five points in his last four games. You might pause in terror seeing Richards' name here, but he seems to have found a home on this line and he's is scoring too, so worry not for now. Vertseeg might leave a lot of owners gun shy after years of disappointment, but he was battling knee issues that prevented him from, you know, skating properly. Those knee problems seem solved for now and the talent was always there, so if you want in on a guy who could score 60 points and 25 goals on the cheap, now's the time to buy in. I already did. Anyway, here's what else I saw last night in the world o' fantasy hockey:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Back in April 2013 the Washington Capitals were interested in adding some veteran help for a playoff push. The Nashville Predators had some help in the form of Martin Erat and so they struck a deal. Erat went to the Caps and Filip Forsberg (1 G, 2 A, 5 SOG) came over to the Preds in a package deal. At the time no one really batted an eye, but now all eyes are wide open watching "Fil the Thrill" roll through opponents night after night on his way to one of the best starts a rookie forward has had in years. I honestly didn't see this coming, but after he posted just 34 points in 47 games in the AHL last year, honestly, who did? His preseason was stellar, but preseason means squat and I figured he was just playing hard against weak competition to earn himself a roster spot like any respectable rookie. The last I saw of Fil he was easy to knock of the puck, undersized, lacking strength and looking overwhelmed playing North American hockey, but clearly he had some skill. Oh my how things have changed. With a deceptively awkward but quick wrister at his disposal Fil stretched his point steak to seven games with the three-point effort last night. What's more, he has a six game goal-scoring streak mixed in and 12 points (7 G, 5 A) over that span. He's currently on the top line with James Neal (1 A, 2 SOG, +2) and Mike Ribeiro (1 SOG, +2) and that's a good place to be. He hasn't just been good, he's been dominant and his line has outscored opponents 13-1 at even strength so far. The downside here, yes there's a downside, is that there's really no chance he can keep this scoring pace up. You know that. You don't want to admit it, but he will. The upside there is that he'll fall from dominant to thrilling, retaining tons of value all season long. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If I asked you who would have the better numbers after a month or so of play, Tuukka Rask (L, 12 SV, 4 GA, .750%) or Jonathan Bernier (W, 25 SV, 1 GA, .962%), I'm willing to bet a case of beer and a back of pucks you'd snap back with Tuukka as your answer pretty quickly. To be fair so would I, and we'd both be wrong. To this point Bernier's sports a season line of 5-3-2/2.58/.917% while Tuukka is sitting ugly at 8-5-0/2.69/.901%. Believe it? You best. It seemed as though Tuukka was getting his act together after a rough October until he was bombed for four goals on 16 shots last night by a team that he has completely dominated in the past. When I say completely dominated, I mean never allowing more than two goals against them before last night completely dominated. To be fair, the Leafs are on fire right now so this is a different Toronto team that Rask has owned in the past, but still, I'm starting to worry about Rask's overall play this season. My gut says he'll be fine, but his stellar play this month comes against teams like the Cats, Oilers, Devils and Sens. That's not exactly the cream of the offensive crop, so it's expected that he'd handle them with general ease. It was also expected that he'd handle the Leafs in a similar fashion, too. If it makes Rask owners feel any better, he was pulled in the second for rookie Niklas Svedberg (2 GA, 15 SV, .882%) who promptly coughed up two of his own on 17 shots. At the heart of the matter here is Boston's decimated defense and most notably the absence of its heart and soul Zdeno Chara, so these struggles aren't wholly his fault. You can't trade Tuukka because his value is far, far below his ADP, so you'll just have to stick it out. This is yet another example of why you shouldn't be taking goalies in the first two rounds. If you own Tuukka, you most likely did just that. Well, while you took Tuukka I drafted Tyler Seguin and I couldn't be happier with my pick, how about you? Goalies are too unpredictable to justify taking that early, even the elites, and they often fail to live up to their ADP. It's not about what your early goalie grab gives you or doesn't, it's what you left on the board while doing it that's at the heart of the matter. Always remember my mantra; skaters first. Skaters first. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
By the end of October it looked as if the opportunities for Alex Stalock to carve out the 40 or so starts I predicted he'd get this season were dwindling fast. Antti Niemi (L, 26 SV, 4 GA, .867%) was rolling strong on five straight starts, it seemed like the deal was sealed and Stalock would have to wait until next year to get his chance. Luckily for us Stalock owners, Niemi has provided ample opportunity once again for Alex to get back in the picture. Last night's loss marks three in a row and four of his last five for Niemi who now owns a yawnstipating 6-5-1/2.79/.911% season line. Those numbers look like they belong to Ondrej Pavelec, and before this season that would be a grevious insult, but hey even Pavelec is looking better than Niemi this year. I digress, I was never a huge fan of Niemi's so this doesn't surprise me one bit. Alex Stalock is the goalie of the future in San Jose and despite some early struggles in limited work (that game against the Sabres haunts me still) I still believe he's going to get his starts and Niemi may not even finish the season as the Sharks' starter. During his current losing streak Niemi has coughed up 15 goals and the Sharks have lost four of those five contests. By contrast, Stalock sports a 2-2-1/2.38/.925% line is looking a hell of a lot better than what Niemi has offered up despite the fact that it has been built over seven fewer games. Stalock was supposed to start last night against the Cats but at the last minute the call was made to start Niemi. Bad call, San Jose. Lets get with the program and get Stalock so more starts, eh? If he's healthy and he performs well in his next few games I'd say Stalock would be well on his way to making this thing a fight again. If that's the case, he's worth adding. If you still own him, hold him for now. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
In October Cam Ward (W, 22 SV, 1 GA, .957%) started four games. In those four games he allowed 16 goals on a 100 shots, good for a .840 SV%. I suppose saying it was "good" for anything is a lie, as that kind of effort is good for nothing. Flip the calendar over to November and Ward is a different man all together. In five starts this month he's faced 130 shots and pushed 123 of them away, good for a .946 SV%. That's not just good, that's absolutely sparkling and wholly unsustainable for most, especially Ward. Still, a five game win streak while allowing no more than 2 goals in any tilt while mixing in a shutout cannot be ignored. So, is Cam Ward in danger of becoming a good goalie again? I doubt it. If you take a look at what he's done it's easy to say yeah, he's getting back on track, but when you look at whom he's doing it against, then the cracks start to appear. He's compiled this run against the likes of the 'yotes (25th in Goals Per Game), the injury devastated Blue Jackets (18th in GPG) twice, the Kings (24th in GPG) and the Flames (8th in GPG). Of all those teams the Flames are the only team clicking on offense right now. By contrast, in his opening four games in October the Isles, Sabres, Flames and Canucks spanked him. Yeah, those Sabres, from Buffalo. I've seen a lot of peeps talking about adding Ward because he's suddenly found his form again. I won't deny that he looks good right now, and if you need goalie help you should add him, but don't expect this to last. Yeah, the Canes' defense doesn't help his situation much, but that only lends credence to the assertion that the well will dry up sooner than later with Ward. Ride him while he's hot and drop him like a bad habit when he gets blown up, because he will. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey yesterday:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Former Hobey Baker winner Johnny Gaudreau (Yahoo – 31%, ESPN – 53.4%, CBS – 73%) didn't start the season off well with no points in his first five games but he has come alive recently with nine points in his last six games, sporting a plus-9 rating on the season to boot! He's little and he's young, but you have to remember that this is a guy who put up 80 points in 40 games in his final season at Boston College, so the mighty-mini playmaker has skills to spare and it's quickly translating into success at the NHL level. I don't think he keeps this torrid pace up, but the Flames look pretty damn solid, a lot more so than anyone really expected going into the season. He plays on a line with Sean Monahan, another guy you should own and I touch on in this post, and gets time on the top power play unit for the Flames so the chances will keep coming so long as Johnny can keep cashing them in. The word is out on CBS and he's gaining traction fast in ESPN leagues, but of course Yahoo lags behind at just 31% owned. Why must you plague me so, Yahoo league owners? Do you have an aversion to winning or are nearly 70% of teams abandoned already? Get with the program y'all, add this guy yesterday! What's that I hear? You didn't get a chance to cash in on Johnny? Well scope out the rest of these guys, maybe you'll beat the rush:Please, blog, may I have some more?
So for the past week your boy JD has been felled by some seriously ebola level flu and I apologize for the lapse in updates, but damnit I was nearly on my deathbed. Not really, but it sucked like Craig Anderson trying to tend net, so I demand your sympathy and understanding. Since I'm demanding it, I suppose I should offer some sympathy and understanding to Ben Bishop (W, 17 SV, 3 GA, .850%) but my patience is starting to run a bit thin. Yes, the clock struck three on Big Ben again and his numbers continue to slide ever so slowly towards the bleh end of the spectrum. After last night he's sitting at a mediocre 9-1-1 / 2.44 / .910%. That's not terrible, yet, but it's slowly getting there and despite the sparkling record Bishop has allowed three goals in six of his last eight starts. The other two games he allowed two goals a pop. That's not what you expect from your number one goalie and a guy expected to be a top five option in the crease for fantasy owners this year. If there's a positive spin to this it's that he hasn't allowed more than three goals all year, but that's little solace at the moment for his owners in roto leagues who are watching their ratios get rocked slowly but surely. The Bolts allow just 27.4 shots per game, so this isn't a defensive problem, it's a Bishop problem and he needs to solve it soon. I haven't seen any signs of his surgically repaired wrist being the issue here, so lets just think happy thoughts (serenity now!) and expect that there are better days ahead for the young tender. If nothing else, he has absolutely no risk of losing his starting job with the woeful Evgeni Nabokov backing him up. Anyway, here's what else I saw in the world o' fantasy hockey this weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Years of the Rooster
The rooster is almost the epitome of fidelity and punctuality. For ancestors who had no alarm clocks, the rooster's crowing was significant, as it could awaken people to get up and start to work. Another symbolic meaning this creature carries is exorcising evil spirits. People used to worship ancestors and believed in fortune telling for a long time.
They are deep thinkers considered to be honest, bright, communicative, ambitious, capable and warm-hearted. They have strong self-respect and seldom rely on others. As most roosters are born pretty or handsome, they prefer to dress up. They have a quick mind and hot temper. They like to be busy and neat. They are not reluctant to fall behind others and hate dawdlers.
They might be enthusiastic about something quickly, but soon might be impassive. They are often a bit eccentric and have difficulty relating with others. They are critical and think they are always right. Like their fortunes, their emotions swing from very high very slow. They can be positive but selfish, caustic and too outspoken. They are narrow-minded and vain. They probably refuse suggestions but would like to lecture others. If they can overcome their arrogance being sincerely in speaking, they will make more progress.

Fortune Foretelling in 2015
Roosters generally have a good fortune in 2015. As long as they are willing to try hard, businesspeople and the working class both will make great achievements. The income will increase and they should make a good plan for all expenses. Neither lending money nor loans is suggested. Sometimes they may feel down and traveling will be of help. In relationships, singles won't find their love, so it is better to focus on work or study.
Career: Their fortune in career will be of ups and downs. They should fully show their capabilities in the first half of the year and they boss will start to pay attention to them. Under this circumstance, they can expect a promotion. In the second half year, as long as they control their temper and focus on team work, they will make much progress. For those who have heaps of spare time, they should make full use of their time for further study, which will be helpful for a more challenging job in the future. In 2015, roosters should act more and speak little.
Wealth: They will have a stable fortune in wealth. Generally, the good fortune gathers in October and November and they should think twice for any risky investment in February, April, June and September. In the first half of 2015, their jobs bring the main income. It is feasible to do one or several part-time jobs. In the second half of the year, they can make a proper investment, such as purchasing stock and bonds. Roosters born in the year of 1969 should not lend money to others, or the money will never return.
Relationships: Singles may encounter several potential pursuers in the first half of 2015, but it seems that none of them would be the right person. In the second half of the year, they are more likely to find their love. They should know a person well before getting into a serious relationship. Lovers and couples may have some arguments with their partners. Mutual trust and communication will make their relationship stable. They should never lose patient, or there is the risk of breaking up.
Health: They will generally be healthy in 2015 and will hardly to get sick. However, they may feel pressed and upset sometimes, when they are recommended to speak to others or do some sports to relax. If eating too much, they may feel uncomfortable in intestines and stomach, so diet should be controlled, especially in the first half of the year. In the second half year, they should avoid staying up and also need to be careful in driving in case of any traffic accident.
Study: Rooster students may work hard but gain a little in 2015. They don't need to feel stressed due to this. Instead, they should well allocate their time for study and relaxation. Keep a harmonious relationship with classmates and teachers who would help roosters a lot in study.
Fortune Telling in 2014
2014, the Year of the Horse, is a good year for rooster people. They will make great achievements in career. Their leader may offer them a promotion. There may be some rumors about them in the job, but if they are modest and honest to well handle that, everything will be fine at last. Business people will enjoy good opportunities to make investment, but no speculation will bring profits. Their love life fortune will go well: married people keep a good relationship and singles are expected to find their love.
Career: Pretty good fortune will happen to them in their career. Working class people, especially those working in public institutions, are expected to get a chance to present their talents and get higher salary accordingly. They should keep a low profile to go on with job tasks and keep a good relationship with colleagues, which will clear the block for better career prospect. They may be given help by a person of the opposite gender in 2014, but they should well handle that, avoid letting personal emotions get involved in the work.
Wealth: Generally, no financial problem will bother them in the year. If the working class people focus on their job, their salary may climb up. Business people may get great profits, if they make a wise investment. For any risky investment, they'd better think twice and don't easily believe others. Although they will have more income, the expense will climb up as well. Therefore, they are suggested to make ends meet first. Then they will have some savings for unexpected use.
Relationships: Singles will have very good fortune in career this year. If they take part in more group activities or let their family and friends be matchmaker, they are expected to find their love sooner. If things go well, they may get married by the end of 2014. Lovers may consider their marriage in the Year of the Horse; then they will happily stay together for life long. Couples, however, may easily argue with each other, even for trifles and they'd better be more tolerant for the sake of their marriage.
Health: Minor discomfort cannot be avoided, but no serious disease will occur. They are suggested to keep a healthy diet and regular sports. If there is any discomfort, they should see a doctor early. On banquets, they shouldn't eat and drink too much. The seniors are advised to have more light-flavor food to avoid cardiovascular disease. If possible, rooster people can jog or walk for some time every day to keep fit.

The Chow Chow is an ancient breed that originated in China more than 2000 years ago. They were an all purpose breed used for hunting, herding, pulling, and protection. They are commonly referred to as "the Chow", and are now used primarily as a companion.
The Chow Chow is a true masterpiece of dignity and beauty. They possess the unique characteristic of having a blue-black tongue. They are keenly intelligent, have an independent spirit, and display a dignified demeanor. The Chow is extremely aloof and discerning.
The Chow Chow is most generally polite and patient. They are very loyal and friendly with their family, but exceedingly reserved with strangers. They most often will become attached and overly protective of one particular member of the family. They are bossy, serious, and obstinate. The Chow Chow is a very dominant breed that requires a dominant owner. They are stubborn and have a mind of their own. They are not good with other pets unless they have been raised with them from an early age. They get along well with older well-behaved children. The Chow expects to be treated with respect.
The Chow Chow requires daily brushing. Proper grooming is essential to keep their coat in peak condition. Bathe or dry shampoo as necessary. They are prone to such health issues as entropin, heat prostration, allergies, skin problems, and hip dysplasia. They have a very low tolerance to anesthesia. The Chow does not do well in warm climates.
The Chow Chow has an abundant and profuse double coat that comes in two different varieties: smooth or rough. The fur is particularly thick around the neck area and resembles a lion's mane. The outer coat is coarse and is supported by a dense under coat. The most common coat colors are red, black, blue, tan, and gray. They are never parti-colored. The Chow is a heavy seasonal shedder.
The Chow Chow requires intense, extensive, and ongoing training in both socialization and obedience. They are relatively easy to housebreak. However, they will only perform tasks that make sense to them. They need to be taught at an early age as to who the master is or they will take over. They require firmness, fairness, and consistency. They do not respond to harshness or a heavy-handed approach and will become aggressive if treated in a disrespectful manner. The Chow is highly talented as a watchdog or guard dog.
The Chow Chow has a tendency to be lazy. They prefer to stay indoors where they are relatively inactive. They enjoy a small securely fenced yard, but cannot remain outside for extended periods of time in hot weather. They benefit from short daily walks. The Chow is well suited for apartment dwelling provided they are given sufficient exercise.
Help reduce the number of dogs in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Chow Chow breeders to list and rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

If your idea of a Hampton Inn is the cookie-cutter establishment you'll find on many roadsides, prepare to have your conceptions challenged by this property. Since Hampton converted an old brick high-rise instead of building its own place in this location, it's much more charming than your average motel. Staff is friendly, and both times I've stayed there I've been moved into higher grade rooms because they had the room. This is the kind of thing that keeps a customer coming back. The common area in the hotel lobby is enormous and very well appointed. What it most has going for it though is the location, right downtown. It means having $10 added to your room fee for the parking garage, but under normal circumstances (meaning normal days or weekends when there's not some event going up, when Hampton has a tendency to jack up the prices) this is well worth paying since you can easily walk the center city, the greenbelt and to everything else Boise offers. As long as the prices are reasonable, I definitely recommend this place. If not, you'd do well by the Marriott Courtyard on South Broadway, which tends to keep their prices low nearly all the time.

Explore Scientific ED80 Air Spaced Carbon Fiber Triplet Refractor Telescope
Package includes:
- ED80 f/6 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor in Carbon Fiber with Retractable Dew Shield
- Push/Pull Collimation Cell
- Two-Speed Focuser
- Deluxe Case
- 99% Reflective 2-inch Diagonal
- Vixen Style Dovetail Mount
- ---Finder Scope is NOT Included!
Explore ED80 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Highlights…
- The tube assembly of the ED80 Triplet is made of lightweight, yet strong carbon fiber
- This telescope has true APO, or apochromatic, optics
- Diffraction limited at .25PV or better
- Genuine ED glass from Hoya Japan
- Enhanced Multi-Layer Coatings (EMD) are deposited on optical elements to boost contrast and eliminate light scatter.
- The contrast on the Explore ED80 is further enhanced with the installation of matte black knife-edge baffles in the optical tube assembly
- While refractors seldom require additional collimation after initial factory adjustment, the lens cell design allows for consumer collimation. This means that while you can send your ED80 to the Explore factory for collimation, it is not required.
- The ED80 APO Triplet comes with a heavy-duty 2" dual-speed rotatable focuser, included 2 draw tube extensions.
- Included 2" diagonal has a precision-polished mirror with enhanced 99% dielectric coatings. A 1.25" compression ring adapter is part of this package.
- To attach your Explore Scientific ED80 Air-Spaced Triplet telescope to a variety of mounts, we have included the "Vixen-style" dovetail. The "Vixen-style" plate fits mounts made by Explore, Meade, Celestron, Vixen & others.
- All Explore Scientific products come with a STAR Extended-Life-of-the-Product Warranty. Upon registration, this product will be under warranty for as long as it is manufactured, plus five years.
This 80mm f/6 ED Apochromatic triplet is an air-spaced triplet refractor telescope for observing and photography of celestial objects. Instrument utilizing Hoya ED glass, comes equipped with a 99% dielectric-coated 2-inch diagonal, Finder Scope and TwiLight I Mount available separately.
The Critical Element: Optics
Explore Scientific uses ED (Extra-low Dispersion) FCD1 (Dense Fluor Crown) glass developed and manufactured by Hoya Optical of Japan. Using the right glass with the appropriate properties enables the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction.
The optics used in Explore Scientific ED Air-Spaced Triplet refractors are truly diffraction-limited at .25PV or better. As a privilege of ownership, those who wish to obtain a copy of their interferometric data can request it up to 90 days after registration of their ED Triplet telescope by contacting the Explore Scientific Customer Service Department.
2" 99% Reflective Dielectric-Coated Diagonal
Provided as standard equipment, Explore Scientific's 2", 99% Reflective, Dielectric-Coated Diagonal incorporates a light-weight, one-piece diagonal body that securely cradles the precision polished diagonal flat mirror, insuring precision alignment.
Deluxe Two-Speed Focuser
On prestine nights of steady seeing, Saturn's Rings can forever affect the hearts and minds of almost anyone who lays eyes on them. It's nights like these that astronomers like to set up their refractors and push the magnification to the limits, not only to see the magnificence of the planet at greater scale but to really test the optical and mechanical quality of the telescope.
Many telescopes are only supplied with a standard single-speed focuser, you will find that a tiny nudge will throw out focus and turn your night into one of frustration.
So we included as standard equipment, on all Explore Scientific ED Series, a two-speed Crayford-style precision focuser with tension adjustment and lock to obtain and hold perfect focus. We think you'll agree that such precision is worth it.
EMD Coatings
EMD (Enhanced Multi-layer Deposition) Coatings eliminates light scatter and maintains high image contrast. This proprietary coating is applied to all Explore Scientific lenses in multiple layers for added durability.
Contrast is further enhanced by the installation of multiple baffles in the optical tube that mask and deflect unwanted stray light.
EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC branded products are under warranty forever, and this warranty is transferrable from owner-to-owner as long as the product is registered with EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC.
This Transferrable Unlimited Lifetime Warranty covers any problem no matter what the cause. In addition, this new warranty supersedes and is retroactive for EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC branded products that are already serving in the field, provided they are registered with us.
That means that no matter what the cause of the problem, no matter if you are the second or the 20th owner, we will take care of your EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC branded product without any repair or replacement fees.

Speaking at the party's first ever Spring Policy Conference in Co Fermanagh, Mr Robinson said the decision to take down the Union flag at Belfast City Hall was "a disaster for Northern Ireland as a whole".
The council decision in December to limit the flying of the Union flag to designated days sparked disorder across Northern Ireland.
Weeks of protests followed and violence broke out at some flag demonstrations, with protestors pelting police with petrol bombs, bricks and other debris.
The First Minister described the reduction as an "aggressive and unnecessary step" which overturned the "settled, if delicate equilibrium, in Belfast".
He added: "Jobs lost, tourists deterred, business damaged, potential investment threatened, security costs soaring, police officers injured, young lives blighted with criminal records and community relations compromised - these are the product of that decision and its aftermath."
Mr Robinson said only a collective approach would be enough to resolve issues in Northern Ireland, adding: "Precipitating a crisis by voting to take the Union flag down from city hall and then expecting everyone else to pick up the pieces is not a recipe for success".

The DUP leader said Stormont "isn't all we would wish it to be", but said it underpins peace, stability and prosperity.
During the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis earlier this month, Martin McGuinness said he felt some unionists were in power because they have to be.
Apparently refuting these comments, on Saturday Mr Robinson said: "Six years after we restored devolution and entered the Executive, some have questioned our commitment to this process.
"The real question is not whether we want to be in government or have to be in government; the fact is the people of Northern Ireland need us to be in government."
The question mark over the devolution of corporation tax continues to loom over Northern Ireland's ministers, and Mr Robinson said if that did happen the region could become the UK's "economic miracle".
Earlier this week, Secretary of State Theresa Villiers revealed ministers in England and Northern Ireland are set to further discuss the issue.
Mr Robinson explained: "I know how much we already have to offer. The addition of a low rate of corporation tax would make our pitch unbeatable at home and abroad.
"It is disappointing that some have already given up the battle. Perhaps that would be the safe thing to do."
It is hoped that bringing Northern Ireland's rate into line with the 12.5% tax in the Republic would make the region more attractive to foreign investment.
But Mr Robinson said the time is now.
"I further believe that if the power to enable us to set a lower level of corporation tax is not devolved by this present government - during this present parliament - it will never be delivered by any future government, at least, not within my political lifetime," he added.
