Gooseberry Gin Martini
You will need:
2 Measures of Gin
1 Measure of Gooseberry infused Gin
1 Splash of Elderflower Cordial
A couple of fresh gooseberries for decoration and and ice-cube or two
Of course the trick is to have the home-made ingredients to hand.
Gooseberry Gin Recipe
If you are fortunate to have a glut of gooseberries one summer or can find some going cheap then this makes an interesting and tasty gin infusion.
You will need:
1 Litre of the cheapest gin
500 g of top & tailed and washed gooseberries, use pink ones for a lovely colour to the infusion
250 g sugar
Sterilise a preserving jar and fill with the gooseberries which you have halved or crushed. Add the sugar. You can use more or less sugar according to taste. Aim for less now and sweeten later if the infusion is too sour. Top the up the jar with as much gin as will fit in.
Leave to infuse for 6 to 8 weeks. Strain through a muslin cloth and transfer to sterilised bottles. Sweeten to taste if necessary.
Elderflower Cordial Recipe
In the early summer you can make a delicious cordial from Elderflowers.
You will need:
25 to 30 Elderflower heads freshly picked with the insects shaken off and quickly rinsed
1.5 Litre of water
Zest of 2 Lemons and 1 Orange
Juice of 2 Lemons and 1 Orange
1 kilo of sugar
50 g citric acid (optional)
Put the flowerheads in a large bowl with the zest, cover with 1.5 litres of boiled water and leave to infuse for 24 hours.
Strain the infusion through a muslin cloth and return to a pan with the sugar, the juice and the citric acid. Warm gently until the sugar is dissolved. Leave to cool and then transfer to sterilised bottles.

Green River Canoes: Fishing Trips
Canoeing and Fishing
Without a doubt you could easily mix a canoeing trip with a fishing trip and their is no reason why you couldn't use a canoe to fish from just as the locals in France and Belgium use the small flat-bottomed punts. You have to admire these punts because you often see them partially drowned tied up to the bank and you must wonder if they will ever be used again, but I've seen a seemingly lost boat patiently bailed until it was afloat again and then pushed out into the stream for an hour or so of fishing.
The rivers we paddle in France and Belgium do not allow any motorised boats on the river, apart from a small stretch of the Dordogne where the Gabarres run between Roque-Gageac and Beynac offering a tourist service.
Most of the fishing we see is from the bank or fly-fishers stood mid-stream. Only a few fish from boats. The fishers are friendly too and don't much mind the canoes as we go by. This must be because the river is not at all busy. My friend and I were once briefly the scourge of fishers as we paddled through Tours on the river Loire. We didn't have room to skirt them in a wide arc as we had a rapid to negotiate. We were not popular and some even chased us downstream to pass on some advice and encouragement! Normally however a friendly nod and a wave is enough to pass pleasantly.
On the Célé river the fishers are given the river to themselves before 11am and again after 6pm and it is only between these hours that you are allowed to paddle the river. It seems fair, but I wonder what they would say if you were fishing from your canoe.
In all the ten years I've been taken canoe trips down these rivers though we've only ever had one person who trolled from the back of his canoe. He enjoyed himself too although he had to rely on the patience of his partner to do his paddling for him. He didn't actually have much luck in the actual fishing department. The Rainbow Trout and the Barbels eluded him but he did manage to catch one small but handsome Perch, which he gallantly put back.
Anyway the point is if you like fishing then I'm sure we could arrange plenty of time for it on our canoeing trips. We have plenty of time in the early mornings and in the long warm evenings to fit in some bank-side fishing and of course trolling is always a possibility. If more serious fishing time was required then we would re-arrange our schedule to fit it in.
We would also organise the licenses and search out the shops that sell bait and tackle.

Green River Canoes: Special Interest Trips
Custom Canoe Trips with the Focus also on ...
We have many scheduled trips on our itinerary but we can also cater for groups that want to have a trip to themselves and perhaps concentrate on a particular activity in addition to the canoeing. This page describes some ideas.
Photography is one of my personal hobbies and something that I do on every canoeing trip.
You can see my personal photography on my website and on flickr.
It would be fantastic to take a group of enthusiastic photographers on a canoeing trip and I think the combination would work well.
I'd expect the kind of people who would do this combination trip would be into Landscapes and/or Nature photography, and I'm confident that we could could manage both elements very well.
I'm often of a mind to go on a long walk before breakfast; often getting up at sunrise or even before. Over the years I've been doing these trips I've got together a whole sequence of walks which are loops from our lodgings. This can range from 1 to 3 hours in length. They almost always include fabulous views over the region we are visiting.
The same principle would apply in the evenings so that we would arrange our evening meal so that we can be out and about when the evening light is at its best. In the summer of course we are blessed with an early sunrise and a late sunset, but even towards the autumn we can still make use of the light.
This leaves the middle of the day, and this is, of course, when we will do our canoeing. Notwithstanding the fact that cameras and water don't mix very well we will have a great many opportunities for taking macro wildlife shots and any other type of shots in and around the rivers.
I think that makes a great start for designing a Photographic/Canoe Tour, but we also have all the elements of the trip which are away from the river too; the pretty villages, the castles and churches and monasteries and gardens.
In addition I think that when we sit down and design our photographic itinerary we can mutually decide on our aims and plans. We can also bear in mind that we have a minibus with us and we can use this in the morning and evening for reaching places which are too far for hiking.
Nature Watching
Observing nature is also one of my interests and forms a large part of my interest in photography too, as I mentioned in the previous chapter.
On these canoe trips we have plenty of opportunity for observing Butterflies, Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies), Birds, and River-Life. We also, of course, have a great opportunity for observing the botany of the regions we visit.
I myself am very fond of photographing butterflies as well as dragonflies and damselflies.
I think a very useful trip could be designed to incorporate a great deal of nature-watching both whilst we are on the river and on evening walks and hikes in the mornings and evenings.
I'm very familiar with the butterfly species to be found in and around the areas we visit and of the times of year when particular species are to be observed.
Although I'm not a bird-watcher myself and don't photograph them often (not having suitable lenses) I do observe them whilst we are on the river and am familiar with most of the common species to be found.
Botanically the areas we visit are also very interesting and I've come across many beautiful flowers and plants on my travels. Finding orchids for example is always a pleasure as is identifying the different trees that grow along the river and being able to recognise them in all the seasons. Quinces and Medlars, for example, can sometimes be found.
I'm not a fisherman myself so I wont pretend to know anything about it. What I do know is that I've seen plenty of people fishing in the rivers we visit. It is obvious that the rivers provide very good fishing indeed.
Many of the rivers are good trout streams and we have seen many fly-fishermen standing int he rivers in the early mornings.
The Semois and the Lesse in Belgium are well known trout streams as is the Cele in France. The Cele in particular is dedicated to fishing as canoeists are not allowed on the river until after 11am; before then is fishing time.
We have also observed people fishing from boats, though I should point out that these are usually punts of some sort. No powered boats are allowed on the streams we paddle, excepting the Gabarres which operate on the Dordogne between Beynac and Roque-Gageac.
On some occasions we have had guests trolling from the canoe and they have enjoyed themselves immensely though they tell me this is not the way to catch trout. A perch perhaps.
The rivers we canoe usually run clear, except after a storm, and we often get a good view of the many fish in the water. This excludes the Vezere which more often than not runs a chocolate colour. The fish we have seen, and recognised, are Rainbow Trout, Perch, and Barbel. No doubt several other species are swimming beneath us.
If we were to organise a canoe trip around fishing then Green River Canoes would ensure that the appropriate licenses are acquired and that enough time is allocated to fit the type of fishing that is needed to balance with the canoe time. We would have the minibus for example to those that fish to take us to and from the river for early morning or evening sessions.
Walking and hiking is a feature of our canoe trips already. For those that are keen walkers each place that we stay has an early morning, before breakfast, walk that we can do. It is not compulsory!
On some of the longer trips we also take a day or two off from the canoeing to explore the area by foot.
I've walked many of the footpaths in and around the areas where we canoe and have a range of walks wherever we go.
However if we have a group that requires a different balance of canoeing and hiking then I'm certain that we could arrange a trip to suit. We would also of course decide on the length of these hikes and the amount of time we think they need.
Both France and Belgium have a great many long-distance trails which are well way-marked. There are also a great collection of hiking maps on which these trails are clearly marked. It would certainly be possible for example to accommodate several days hiking on one of these trails with a multi-day canoeing trip.
With a little bit of work the trips to the Perigord and Lot could concentrate (when not canoeing) on the 100 years War, Crusades, or perhaps the Middle Ages. These trips already visit several castles and chateaux in the region but a little bit of effort on the schedule could bring the history into focus.
The trip to the Belgium Ardennes could also be tweaked so that we have an opportunity to visit some of the sights associated with WW2. Although the coming years will be the anniversary of the Great War this is of course more focused on Flanders to the north of Belgium. This is not the area where we canoe. However if there is some real interest in this then with some planning we could arrange to paddle on the Somme and in the area around St. Omer in northern France.
Cave Paintings
Our trips to the Perigord and the Lot already include a good look at the cave-paintings in the region such as Lascaux, Peche Merle and Castel Merle. Sadly access to Font de Gaume which was also on our itinerary is becoming increasingly difficult as visitor numbers have been drastically reduced and advance bookings removed.
Many other caves are available to visit in the region however and with a bit organisation we could certainly tweek the itinerary to include other caves.
It may even be possible to include Font de Gaume if we are prepared to arrive early and queue on a particular day.
Wine Tasting
Would it be possible to paddle from vineyard to vineyard? I'm not sure about this as we are usually too far upstream to be in vineyard country. However when we visit the Perigord and Lot regions in France we are certainly within striking distance of vineyards.
On the 5 Day Cele trip or the 12 Day 3 River trip we have often taken a day off the river to visit the vineyards of the Cahors region which is a short 40 minute drive down the Lot valley. We usually have the time (and inclination) to visit 3 or 4 vineyards for tastings which are on or close to the Lot river itself.
The vineyards on the Dordogne are a bit further away. Bergerac and Perchamont however are reachable.
On the Ardeche trip we arrive through the Rhone vineyards between Avignon and our first lodgings on the Ceze river. It would certainly be possible to arrange some vineyards in this region, both in the valley itself and in the tributary valleys coming into it.
Beer Tasting
A Beer tasting and canoeing trip would certainly be possible in the Belgium Ardennes. We travel very close to two of the Trappist Monasteries that still make beer at Orval and Rochefort. It is possible to visit Orval so we could easily include this on our trip and make the necessary detour.
The other three Trappist Monasteries that brew beer in Belgium are further to the north in Flanders and separated from the Walloon region where we go paddling. Nevertheless Belgium is a small country and an itinerary could be arranged.
In any case if we extend our search outside of Trappist Beers (and Belgium has many hundreds of other to choose from) we could visit some small and local breweries closer to the rivers we paddle.

Green River Canes: Expedition Trips
Multi-Day Canoe-Camping Trips
Every year we will propose to do a long expeditionary trip at the beginning of each season. If it proves popular then we could add another trip at the end of the season too.
The idea of these trips is to have a long continuous canoe down a single river.
The intention is that we will camp on these trips and where possible we will prefer wild-camping over camp-sites. This means we will have to cater for ourselves too and do own our cooking. This will not however, preclude us taking the odd night in a B&B if we want to, or indeed frequenting restaurants, cafes and bars whenever we find them!
On our usual trips we always have a support van. To help reduce costs on these expeditions we will have to decide whether or not we want to have a support van to chase us down the river.
Unlike our Inn-to-Inn Trips these Expedition Trips are more co-operative. Green River Canoes will ensure that the canoe equipment is booked and ready for us, will guide us on the river and will have all the necessary details and maps for camping and supplies along the route. If a support minibus is required then Green River Canoes will supply this too, along with a driver. Green River Canoes will ensure that we are transported from the rendezvous point to the start of the canoeing and for returning everybody back to the rendezvous point from where we finish the canoeing. Green River Canoes will also provide the necessary safety equipment and water-proof tubs for storing stuff in the canoe.
The participants on the trip will be expected to provided their own camping equipment and will be required to set up themselves and help with all the necessary cooking and cleaning jobs etc. If portages are necessary then then will be expected to help with these too.
The cost for the trips will be calculated on the canoe-hire costs and the minibus rental costs (if used) plus the use of a guide. These will be the only charges required before departure. All other expenses will be calculated and shared 'on the road', such as camp-site fees, eating and drinking, shopping, fishing licenses etc and so forth.
It will be the responsibility of the guests to get themselves to the rendezvous point for the trip departure.
We at Green River Canoes will suggest a variety of itineraries for each season. Those that are interested will then be asked to reach a consensus on the following aspects of the trip.

Green River Canoes: The Lesse, the Semois and the Ourthe
7 Days Canoeing in the Belgium Ardennes
Come with us on a 7 night 8 day canoeing trip to the Belgium Ardennes where we will canoe on the beautiful Lesse, Semois and Ourthe rivers through the most wonderful countryside.
Our trips are fully guided and we stay in wonderful small hotels and B&Bs. We travel Inn-to-Inn on the rivers whilst our luggage is being taken from one lovely Inn to the next.
We picnic along the rivers as we go and enjoy the local cuisine and wines and beers in the evening. Belgium is of course famous for its many different varieties of beer.
We will enjoy the wildlife as we go: birds, butterflies and dragonflies and if we are lucky perhaps some deer or an otter. Not forgetting the botany either.
along the way we will also get to learn about the history of the region we pass through, from the ancients Romans to World War 2.
These are quiet rivers and we will not be flying through any rapids. Paddling lessons will be provided as we go if you are an inexperienced paddler.
You can find us here : Green River Canoes, and or read and download our brochures and sign up for our quarterly newsletter too.
You can also directly contact us.
We look forward to seeing you on the river.

Green River Canoes: Ardeche & Tarn
12 Days Canoeing in the South of France
This is a fully guided Inn-to-Inn canoe trip on several rivers in the Ardeche and Tarn regions.
On this trip we canoe on the Gardon, the Ceze, the Chassezac and the Ardeche in the Ardeche region and on the Tarn in the Tarn region of south-east France. We shall explore the Gorges and Mountains of both the Ardeche and the Cevennes which are still relatively remote, even to this day.
Have a look at the full day-to-day schedule and the places we stay.
This trip is also described in an online brochure (also downloadable).
The rivers in the Ardeche flow eastwards towards the Rhone river which itself then flows south to the Mediterranean. The Chassezac is a tributary of the Ardeche. Each of these rivers in the Ardeche flow through deep and dramatic gorges in limestone country.
The Gardon, Ceze and Chassezac are calm rivers with easy paddling through beautiful scenery. The Ardeche provides a little more excitement with Class 2 and 3 rapids. These rapids are short however and the river provides plenty of easy water between them.
When we cross over to the Tarn we canoe in a river which flows westwards towards the Atlantic. The Tarn also flows through a dramatic limestone gorge and is famously known for its beautifully clear and green waters. The first two days on this river provide easy paddling whilst the third day provides more excitement with some rapids to contend with.
In-between the canoeing days we shall hike on the parts of the long-distance trail known as the GR70 - the famous Robert Louis Stevenson Trail. The author walked this way more than 100 years ago to see for himself how the Hugenots (Protestants) survived in a largely Catholic country. The walk is renowned for the difficulty he experienced in dealing with his donkey 'Modestine'.
We shall also walk through the peculiar region called the 'Chaos of Montpelier', which has been eroded into many curious geological shapes.
Of course throughout we shall stay at remote and beautiful places and enjoy the regional cuisine and the local wines.

Maple Syrup for Pancakes
- Ora Sep 9, 2006 10:43 PM
How do people jazz up maple syrup for pancakes? In a saucepan, I heat maple syrup, a splash of unfiltered apple juice and brandy or rum, and butter. Delicious!
What do you do?
re: tuqueboy
I second that! I love the organic full maple mid-amber maple from T.J.'s. Such a rich maple flavor. I pour it on my oatmeal in the morning. YUM
re: Kitchen Queen
Yeah, that was my reaction too. Huh? I just paid top dollar for the best maple syrup I could find, and I should mess with it?
If I hadn't been raised on blueberry pancakes (I put so many bluerries in them, my son calls them pancake blueberries) with buttermilk and maple syrup, maybe I'd feel differently. Ok, my mom didn't make them that way, but I do.
Ok #2. I think there are some uses (pancakes are not on the list) where you could get creative. I had a dish in a restaurant a few years back with maple syrup, foie gras, some kind of squash, etc. which was good stuff. But in my kitchen, monkeying with maple syrup has not happened to date...
re: Chris Weber
Just came from T.J.'s. Bought another bottle of M.S. - Organic grade B. I will brush onto my strip of fresh Salmon then mesquite BBQ on my grill. Will include maple glazed squash, a green something-probably spinach and Swedish Blini. YUM! :)KQ
re: Kitchen Queen
What's a Swedish Blini?
re: Chris Weber
I agree, you can't improve maple syrup.
However, "top dollar for the best maple syrup" is something of a contradiction in terms. The best is grade B, which is perversely slightly cheaper than the less flavorful grade A.
re: Robert Lauriston
If you say the best is grade B, which it is, then what I said was I pay top dollar for the best grade B.
I paid $42 for my last batch of grade B. I could find other grade B for less elsewhere. "A" has nothing to do with discussions of the best.
re: tuqueboy
I agree...why jazz up perfection. I like grade-b syrup which is a stronger taste.
Exactly! Though I suppose rum, raisin, butter and pecans would go well if drizzling over some banana-nut pancakes!
Well I don't know why anyone would mess with MS for pancakes, I agree with Kirk. Some cayenne (Or any hot sauce) is fantastic mixed with MS. Sweet heat can't be beat.
love the idea of rum, raisins, butter and pecans...hubby and i are going to Pancake Circus tomorrow after our weekly farmer's market run; something tells me that they won't have any of the above suggestions.
re: morebubbles
Well, you could try a health food store near where you live or there's always here:
Really good Maple Syrup, preferable Grade B is one of God's perfect miracles. Used as a syrup, it needs nothing added. Warm it a bit, if you like. It is divine on Vanilla Ice Cream.
No, I don't add anything to my syrup.
Sorry, I'm a purist and make my own syrup so I have lots.
...but I do add my syrup to lots of other things to jazz them up.
Vinagrettes, oven roasted bacon or sausages, warm on ice cream, BBQ sauce, marinades, between cake layers, roasted sweet / spicy nuts nuts, etc...
re: bruce
Yes, really maple. I take a week off work each year and head up north where I tap about 100 sugar maples near the cottage. We usually try and do 2 boildowns with 100 gallons of sap each, dependant on the the weather. The yield is usually about 40 to 1, sap to syrup.
My father and grandfather before him made originated the tradition and I am now carrying it on. We have a little sugar shack at the cottage with a 6 by 3 pan for boiling down.
After taking up to a week to get your precious gallons of syrup, I am a dedicated maple syrup purist.
Though, I would say no if you set down a plate of pancakes with blueberry syrup.
I made a wild blueberry maple syrup a few weeks back, as a accompaniement to whole wheat pancakes. Recipe is from 101 Cookbooks blog here:
I know many think maple syrup perfect as is, but this was a lovely way to enjoy the short wild blueberry season. And the pancakes were wonderful, not as heavy as some ww versions but plenty of ww flavor.
re: cheryl_h
Thank you!!! I love that site but missed this particular entry. This is precisely the type of suggestion I was hoping to illicit. (Not sure why so-called purists are even responding to this post--but its a free country...)
Yeah, I like heating my Maple syrup for my pancakes, and saving the apple juice and brandy for a early morning "Hot Toddy" ;-)
I agree that in principle maple syrup is perfection, but if you must... In my family we sometimes serve alongside lemon wedges, and once syrup is poured, squeeze lemon over. Delicious and minimizes cloying sweetness so you can have even more syrup!
re: emmielou
I don't know about Brooklyn per se, but you can certainly find grade B at places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's (house brands) in Manhattan. I'd consider calling places like Fairway and Sahadi.
re: emmielou
Any health food store and/or Fairway in Redhook has it.
Yes Grade B is better.
I was once gifted with a bottle of Grade A. To boost its impurities to a palatable level, I added 2 tsp of fenugreek seed to the pint jar. (Fen. is the ingredient in "imitation maple flavoring"). Heated it in a crockpot bath for a few hours, then refrigerated, and let it steep a few weeks.
It was good. So I later took some beautiful Grade B and did the same, except this time with the (potential sacrilege here) addition of 20% Blackstrap molasses. It added viscosity and great taste.
re: FoodFuser
Fenugreek tastes nothing like maple syrup!
re: TexasToast
re: FoodFuser
Yeah, but TO ME, the two taste nothing alike.
Interesting that so many prefer Grade B -- in the standard ranking of maple syrups, that would be the 'industrial strength' version. Maple syrup made from the first days of the season starts out the lightest in color and more delicate in flavor, and then darkens in color and flavor from there.
I will slightly warm up the maple syrup for pancakes (real stuff only, not graded because I get it from a friend in Pennsylvania who sells to his friends only). I do have a couple of recipes using maple syrup -- a pork tenderloin marinated in a maple syrup / dijon mustard / thyme marinade is one of my favorites.
When my brother was in high school, he was given a few taps and buckets that had belonged to my grandfather. So he decided to make maple syrup one year. I think he had about 12 trees, borrowed a couple of milk cans and some other equipment, and boiled it down over an open fire in the back yard. Once it got down to a certain level, my mother would bring it indoors and finish it inside. She also drove the car so he could empty the buckets -- nothing like seeing a Volvo driving down a country road with the trunk open and a couple of milk cans sloshing with maple sap! That was the best maple syrup ever.
re: MGC
The syrup guy at my local farmer's market has sold grade D before. Now that's industrial strength. Not much maple flavor, more like 90 weight oil.
I tend to think Americans too often eat what they're told. You're right about sap starting off light, but the trick is to know when to take the best - kind of like the distiller's art of knowing when to cut the heads and tails off to get the best liquor.
And it's not at grade A for syrup. Now, I could see a use for grade A for certain things if you were looking for a more delicate flavor.
Nothing delicate about pancakes, and that's what I'm buying it for. Give me some real flavor to stand up to a hot pancake fried in a pan.

I had plans with Brittany tonight, but she got out of work late and my curfew is at eleven, so we'd only have an hour to hang out. She invited me to her house and everything. I freaked out, did and redid my hair several times, and changed my outfit once or twice all for nothing. I know it's stupid to get so worked up over something as simple as that, but that's me for you. It's okay though. We may hang out tomorrow if I get back from Springfield early enough, or maybe perhaps Sunday. The tiniest part of me is somewhat relieved because the idea of meeting her family was making me nervous.
Yesterday was my birthday. Being 17, I can now legally watch R-rated movies. My grandma's birthday gifts were rather creative among all the money I received--she gave me a pass for three free golf lessons and three X-Men comics. I didn't even know that she knew I liked comics. I've been wanting to learn how to golf for awhile now, so I really do appreciate the free lessons. And I've considered starting a little comic book collection. I think I'll start hunting for Iron Man, Spiderman, X-Men, Hellboy, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Ghost Rider comics. The rest don't really interest me.
Spring break has been so very dull. The only thing worth mentioning, really, is the job interview I had yesterday. If I get this job I'll definitely be quitting the one I have now. The managers are rude as hell and they don't know how to run a business. This new place seems much nicer. Less greasy too. I'm hoping for a phone call soon. If I get hired I'll be a cook. Makin' pasta and other Italian foods.
If Rick Santorum wins the election, I'm moving to Canada. If Mitt Romney wins the election, I'm moving to Canada. Really I'm just hoping Obama will get re-elected. Four years of zero progress is better than four years of Santorum's radical campaign against homosexuality or Mitt Romney's partiality to the rich. God damn, what is this? A high school election? I guess our country will be forever doomed to be run by idiots. We've been the laughingstock of the world for so long. And I completely understand why.
Yesterday I came close to tears during Health class. A former meth addict came in and spoke to us. Y'know, it's one thing to see pictures of addicts on billboards or hear horror stories from anti-drug campaigns...it's another thing entirely to see an addict in person, to listen to their story without the flashy badges and the cliched "Just Say No" slogans. I mean, when we have assemblies and listen to cops and other nobodies rant about the dangers of drugs, it's so...impersonal.
Somebody ask me a question. About anything. Virtually anything, and I'll answer it as honestly as I possibly can. Really. Just do it. C'mon.
I've been thinking about how selfish I really am. Some of the friends that I talk to...if they're going through a hard time, I frankly don't care. For example, my friend Anna always bitches about how mean her boyfriend is, and I honestly don't give a fuck. She is not worthy of the fucks I could possibly give. Most people, I've realized, are not.
Yesterday I saw The Hunger Games with my dad and sister. I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting it to be too awesome. I don't know why. But damn, this movie was FANTASTIC. It did the book so much justice. The acting, the scenery, the script...all wonderful. I only have one minor complaint. In the movie Katniss gets the mockingjay pin from a trader in the Seam, but in the book she gets it as a gift from the mayor's daughter, whose name escapes me. Also, the movie never explained Avoxes, which are the Capitol servants who are basically brainwashed people with their tongues cut out.
Our school district made a million dollar budget cut. At the end of this year, the school newspaper will no longer be running. Which means my excitement of becoming entertainment editor next year has been trampled. Ugh. You have no idea how infuriating this is. They're also cutting World Literature and they won't be replacing my AP English teacher when she retires this year. Of all the things to be cut, it had to be journalism. The ONE extracurricular thing I enjoyed doing in school. Fuck my luck.
God damn, I love this time of year. One of the many reasons: all the ladies in shorts. Of course, right now, I am utterly blind to all but one. Brittany looks sooooo amazing in short shorts. Not the slutty, up-your-asscrack kind of short shorts, but the reeaaal flattering kind that's just the right length. I try not to check her out too obviously. Or drool. But damn it, she has incredible legs. And those thighs? Jesus H. Christ, it drives me mad. *Insert winky face here*
Can being in love be a one-sided thing? In other words, can you truly be in love with someone if the feelings aren't reciprocated?
I honestly don't think you can. It's pretty difficult to be IN love with someone when they don't see you in the same way. I mean, you may love them a lot, have really deep feelings for them, but I think being IN love requires two people. You just experience it fully when it's returned. But, I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you can be deeply IN love with someone without them returning the same sentiments. But I think that would be pretty damn hard.
I really don't like being around my grandparents anymore. Or any member of my mother's family for that matter, except my cousins, and I never see them anymore. It really sucks, because whenever my grandparents come around I get hit with this sudden wave of irritation. Like they annoy me or something. I know that's a terrible thing to say about two people who love me very much, but...I dunno. Their attitudes towards the world just bug me. And not just the homophobic bits. I can't help not enjoying their presence. That's just the way it is.
Something big yet not big happened last night when I went out for dinner with my friends. My bro friend Judd randomly asked me if I've ever dated a girl....right in front of our friend Haylee. I gave her this anxious look, and she just says, "Don't look at me like that. I already know Jenna."
The friend I came out to Friday has been treating me the same, like the whole coming out thing was no big deal. So that's nice to know, that things won't change between us.
I'm starting to develop a cold. I never get sick. Like, ever. So this is really bothering me. Right now I'm about to overdose on Zicam.
Brittany was supposed to bring me her poems today, but she's sick. Now I have to wait yet another day. I gave her a poem about my dad yesterday and I really hope I haven't overstepped some boundary, hope my disclosure of a personal situation didn't chase her away. I doubt it did.
Came out to one of my friends Friday. We went to this really awesome train bridge across the river, walked on the tracks and beneath them, a hundred feet above the water. He brought his camera (he's really into photography) and took a bunch of pictures. He told me that a girl in his math class was talking about how she thinks I'm bi. I told him she's close, but I'm actually completely gay. He took it really well. But I have a feeling he'll tell some of our friends. Oh well. He won't do it out of spite. I know that.
I got a 29 on my ACT. Is that good enough, do you think? I'm gonna take it again in April or something to see if I can get in the 30's. Many would be happy with a 29, but I want to do better.
Brittany texted me tonight and told me she absolutely loves my poetry. She says it's beautiful, fantastic. She's really nervous about bringing her own poetry because she's never shared it with anyone before. She wasn't at school today. Would've been nice to hear her praise in person.

They have started service for one day only. After that they disconnected the service and told me that you need to resubmit the all the documents. Some one else told me that your verification is done from our side but its negative. Till date no one was visited to my place. Their aim is to making money from customers and then provide false comments against their customers.ReplyDelete

2 ways...Delete
1. Go to your Reliance Netconnect+ / Broadband+ ; launch application. Click Settings -> Network Settings. In the Authentication frame you see your username, which is your data card number.
2. If you deleted the profile by accident and you don't have a reliance data card number !! ? Never mind.. there is a short cut where you don't need a your reliance net connect number. Just create a new profile and for authentication credentials just type "net" for both username and password. there you go!! you are connected to the internet :)

I've been using reliance net connect for the past 2 years. I've no issues with the connectivity or speed, its really good. But, recently I've noticed that reliance is a data thief. Every time you recharge a GB of data, you get only about 800MB of data. This has been happening with me for the past 6 recharges. If reliance thinks they can cheat people without getting noticed you are wrong. Well, you have already been trounced by the competitors, don't allow your name to disappear with the remaining few customers.ReplyDelete

30335555 is the Customer care no: which is chargeable and you can speak to the Reliance Customer Care team who will not bother to offer you any solution to your issue. Not sure if they do it either on purpose being a set of incompetent characters. Be sure that you would be wasting your good money speaking to them and get nothing in return. I have spent hours speaking to them and the call being transferred to the Floor supervisor and you would be surprised to find the Supervisor is far more dumb than anyone you can speak to. If you have nothing to do and want to spoil your day, speak to them and the way they answer will raise your BP that you might end up breaking your mobile in disgust. I too wonder from where Reliance selects such characters or is it that they are trained to reply as such so that a Customer should never contact them in future.Delete

The toll free number is just to fool the customer while you have to make use of the paid number to get in touch with people who do not understand head or tail of anything. They can neither solve or understand what the customer wants to convey. They are a bunch of dumb people, be it either their email service or their voice support. Horrible service that reliance has to offer to only to squeeze and pinch the pockets of the customers. The most unreliable serviceReplyDelete

Customer care wont pick the call even if you wait for 2 hours on line(which I did). I dont think customer care people in reliance are really working.
Luckily 1/1000, even if they pick the call, you will realize that you re talking to the dumbest ass in the world.

I hope the ones who read this never ever fall prey to Reliance again.
On June 18th, 2014, I cancelled my subscription to Reliance NetConnect+. I was informed that as it was in between billing cycles, I would be charged pro rata up til June 18th, and that I would receive one last bill for the same.
Unfortunately, the last bill that I have received was for Rs. 943 which obviously is for an entire month .. plus some late fee!
I was willing to pay what I actually owe (pro rata) but not for an entire month's usage after terminating my connection!!
For more than one month now, I have been trying to reach out to Reliance customer care ....
. Sent multiple emails ... no response
. called on the given customer care numbers = 1800-3000-7777/5555 but both don't even exist!
I don't understand how a large and rich company like this can be so irresponsible towards its customers... Makes me believe such companies get rich only by looting their customers!
Right now, I am clueless if my mail requests have ever been ready by anyone over at Reliance. The only communication I ever got was an automated email with threatened to initiate legal action if I don't pay up. If I don't go over to the nearest Reliance store and pay my dues, I will soon receive a legal notice from them saying I didn't pay my bills for 3 months. This is really how Reliance behaves... I have no way out. :(
PS - when I was getting my service disconnected, the rep asked me if I want to continue the service at a discounted rate .. Rs. 400 p.m. This is even less than half of what I pay every month. So that means, even Rs. 400 p.m is profitable for Reliance .. and by charging you around Rs. 800+ p.m, their margins are sky high!! There is no way this is fair pricing.. It's time people like us wake up and realize how we are being taken for a ride.
Dont' ever go with Reliance unless you intend to stick with them forever no matter what!Replies

Absolutely love the sink. Would recommend to anyone doing a remodel. If you have any doubt about doing something new instead of the traditional split sink ... let it go! Hot here in OK and can easily wash out my son's huge basketball team water cooler in the sink. No more putting a pan in a split sink and it not sitting flat. Don't hesitate to order away! Even the plumber that installed it couldn't believe the quality of the sink and faucet for the price.
This sink and faucet cost hundreds less than our contractor wanted to charge us. It looks so beautiful that our neighbors ordered the exact same one when they remodeled their kitchen a few months later. Upkeep is great. Use a microfiber cloth to just wipe away water spots!

Court asked to OK new Hanford cleanup schedule
The motion would govern the cleanup of underground storage tanks and allow federal courts to ensure the work is completed.
Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 08:35 PM

State and federal agencies asked a federal judge Wednesday to approve a new cleanup schedule for the Hanford nuclear reservation, the nation's most polluted nuclear weapons site.
The motion filed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the state Department of Ecology would govern the complicated cleanup of underground storage tanks for the next four decades and allow federal courts to ensure the work is completed.
"This will ensure our continued progress as we work to meet our commitments to the state of Washington to protect the environment, the public and the Columbia River," U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement.
A watchdog group opposed the decree, saying it delays cleanup work for too long.
Hanford stores over 53 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste in 177 underground tanks, many of which have leaked. The material is left over from the production of plutonium for nuclear weapons, and Hanford workers have already spent two decades on cleanup.
The new schedule envisions four more decades of work, which provides thousands of good-paying jobs in the Tri-Cities area of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco.
The motion asked U.S. District Judge Fred Van Sickle of Spokane to approve a consent decree for the tanks and for new milestones in the Tri-Party Agreement, an administrative order between Energy, Ecology, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which governs Hanford cleanup.
"We now have the full commitment of the federal government, and an enforceable federal court order, to ensure that the Hanford cleanup will stay on track," Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said.
"This administration is committed to protecting the environment in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the country," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in the news release.
The watchdog group said it will ask the judge to reject the decree because it delays emptying some leaking waste tanks until 2040.
"Hundreds of people went to hearings and commented, urging that the state not accept these lengthy delays," said Gerry Pollet, executive director of Heart of America Northwest. The group also wants the government to reject any plans for using Hanford as a national radioactive waste dump.
The consent degree was first announced in August 2009 after several years of negotiations, then was subject to comments from stakeholders.
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said cleanup depends on consistent budgets from the federal government.
The consent decree arose from the settlement of a lawsuit the state Ecology Department filed against DOE that was later joined by the state of Oregon to force completion of key aspects of the Hanford cleanup, including:
- Remaining on schedule on construction of a plant to turn tank waste into a glass form for storage.
- Emptying the remaining older single-walled storage tanks at Hanford's C Farm by 2014.
- Treatment of tank waste beginning in 2019 and ending by 2047.
- Emptying all single-walled tanks by 2040.
- Closing newer double-walled tank farms by 2052.

Ideas for using leftovers from standing rib roast?
What are some ideas for using leftover rib roast? The meat is quite rare so maybe could do something that requires a bit of cooking?
Had the same problem last night. I made taco's you could also do Frenchdip Sandwich. or toss it in a salad
Creamy beef & potato soup; potato hash w/beef; shredded or chopped BBQ beef sandwiches; Asian orange sesame beef salad; beef stir fry...
Wow - some great ideas. Think I will start with the French dip sandwich and then the pot pie. I would like to do the Asian sesame beef salad but I don't have a recipe. Do you have a recipe you would be willing to share? Thanks for the great ideas.
Make a sauce of 3 Tbs. soy sauce (mushroom soy from the Asian market's the best), 3 Tbs. dark amber sesame oil, and 3 Tbs. of white vinegar (no need for rice wine nor exotic vinegar). I add a Tbs. of lime juice and a tsp. of sugar. Add some chopped scallions and a little ginger. Add white pepper, chili pepper and smashed garlic to taste. You may want to extend this dressing with a few Tbs. of olive oil.
For Thai beef salad, make a salad of watercress, chopped tomato, chopped cucumber and diced shallot. Marinate the beef in the dressing for an hour or so and combine with the salad.
If you have ribs with a lot of meat on them, try deviling them. We just did this with the remains of a roast. We also did it to a few pieces of meat also leftover.
Paint the ribs/meat with dijon mustard, dredge in breadcrumbs. Sprinkle a little olive oil over the crumbs Roast at 375 for about 10 minutes until hot. Then broil for about 5 minutes until brown and crsipy. Serve with chili sauce or something similar.

Pirates-Reds Preview
It's anyone's guess what Clint Hurdle's plans are for Gerrit Cole, though the Pirates manager has good reason to start the right-hander in game No. 162 for Pittsburgh.
Faced with the potential to finish in a tie with St. Louis and force an extra contest to determine the NL Central champion, the Pirates need to bring their best Sunday against nemesis Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds.
Pittsburgh (88-73) briefly put its division title hopes in serious jeopardy with Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Reds (75-86) - only its fourth in 17 games - before the first-place Cardinals later fell 5-2 at Arizona to return their advantage to one game.
Todd Frazier had a tying two-run homer in the seventh inning for Cincinnati and Ramon Santiago hit a grand slam in the 10th.
"Wonderfully crazy, like the season," Hurdle told MLB's official website about Saturday's loss. "It just goes to show you - teams are always going to play and compete."
No matter what the Pirates do Sunday, they'll have to wait a few hours to see how things shake out after St. Louis plays. If the teams end up tied, the Pirates and Cardinals will play Monday at Busch Stadium to determine the division champion.
Pittsburgh will either host San Francisco in a wild-card game Tuesday or open the division series at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.
The Pirates probably couldn't ask for a better arm to send out Sunday than the streaking Cole (11-5, 3.78 ERA), who has won each of his last four starts while allowing 10 earned runs over 26 innings with 29 strikeouts and three walks.
He went seven innings at Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing four hits in a 3-2 victory.
Cole has spent a good amount of time on the disabled list this year - a trio of 15-day stints for shoulder and back ailments - but Pittsburgh has played well when he takes the mound, going 11-2 over his previous 13 starts. He has faced Cincinnati only once in his career, allowing five runs and nine hits in a 7-5 defeat April 15.
If Hurdle doesn't save Cole for the potential wild-card game, he'll need to outduel Cueto, who is chasing his 20th win and has dominated Pittsburgh in his career.
"We'll let you know what we're going to do (Sunday) after tonight plays out," Hurdle told MLB's website when asked who will start.
Cueto (19-9, 2.29) is trying to become Cincinnati's first 20-game winner since left-hander Danny Jackson in 1988 and its first right-hander since Sammy Ellis in 1965.
The right-hander is 11-3 with a 2.67 ERA over 15 starts since July 8.
More importantly, he is 17-4 all-time against the Pirates and has completely owned them again this season with a 4-0 record and 1.89 ERA over five starts, including two complete games. Pittsburgh has batted a minuscule .197 against him in 2014.
The Pirates, however, beat Cueto in last season's wild-card game, reaching him for four runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings.
In his most recent meeting with Pittsburgh, Cueto went eight innings and allowed two runs in a 3-2 road victory Aug. 31. He also worked eight in his previous start, giving up one run and four hits to beat Milwaukee 3-1 on Tuesday.
"We've still got one more game left," Santiago said. "We want to play the game the right way, and you want to go home with a good feeling."
Pittsburgh catcher Russell Martin was out of the lineup Saturday with a sore left hamstring and his status for Sunday is unclear.
Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton was also sidelined and won't play in the finale because of a concussion sustained Wednesday. Hamilton leads all NL rookies in runs, hits, doubles, stolen bases and RBIs.

From this perspective, the house seems to dissolve into its environment. Asari and his team conceived of a home that would diffuse easily into nature, with the river and the cherry trees in the background, just as if it had been there from the very beginning.
To reduce the sense of oppressiveness that the house might project for passersby, Asari appended two right-angled corners onto the trapezoid-shape site and created a sloping, cross-shaped roof as well as a cross-shaped floor plan. Asari says, "The result is an architectural volume that morphs into a line, rather than presenting a 'face,' at the point where the structure comes closest to the landscaped walkway."
Exterior views are accessible from every corner.
Natural light sources are carefully focused and targeted, allowing the client to circulate freely without needing excessive artificial light.
As sunlight shifts from one place to the next, the house evolves, changing its mood and character with the sunlight throughout the day.
The Cross House has access to four interior courtyards for private enjoyment. They visually connect the space to its surroundings, and multiple openings allow broad access.
As seen in this image and in the washroom in the next, transparent glass windows and doors throughout the structure help extend the exterior to the interior.
The second-floor writer's study shows the client's pared-down necessities for his craft: a computer, a chair and a desk. Light from the honeycomb stained-glass window — a replica of the one in The Spirit of the Beehive — casts an amber glow. The study is a space of calm and creativity, fulfilling the client's need for quiet in the house.
The sloping surfaces of the low-pitched, cross-shaped roof come into contact with the facade of the house on all four sides, eliminating the need for long vertical walls.
A spartan bedroom provides the perfect place for Asari's client to rest. Although not visible in this picture, the bedroom has a balcony.
The Cross House's reticent daytime character seems to gain confidence at night. The downlights and honeycomb glass window in the study highlight the joining of the right-angled corners; the surrounding vegetation seems to retreat. The Cross House glows, and instead of dissolving into its environment as it does during the day, it emerges as the prominent presence on the site.
