From an award-winning author, a novel about a Vietnamese American family's ties to The Little House on the Prairie
Jobless with a PhD, Lee Lien returns home to her Chicago suburb from grad school, only to find herself contending with issues she's evaded since college. But when her brother disappears, he leaves behind an object from their mother's Vietnam past that stirs up a forgotten childhood dream: a gold-leaf brooch, abandoned by an American reporter in Saigon back in 1965, that might be an heirloom belonging to Laura Ingalls Wilder. As Lee explores the tenuous facts of this connection, she unearths more than expected—a trail of clues and enticements that lead her from the dusty stacks of library archives to hilarious prairie life reenactments and ultimately to San Francisco, where her findings will transform strangers' lives as well as her own.
A dazzling literary mystery about the true origins of a time-tested classic, Pioneer Girl is also the deeply moving tale of a second-generation Vietnamese daughter, the parents she struggles to honor, the missing brother she is expected to bring home—even as her discoveries yield dramatic insights that will free her to live her own life to its full potential.

ESPN: SportsNation |
What's up everybody. I just flew in from Texas and boy are my arms tired...but not too tired to type out some semi-conscious answers to your questions. To the queries!
I am flabbergasted at all the complaining on how Keselowski is racing. Is he suppose to let Jimmie go with 5 to go? And Smoke with his comments? He raced that way last year!! They are racing for a championship, not driving to the corner store. It is such a great battle, enjoy the racing, and stop complaining if the 2 car jumped the start by 14 millimeters.
I'm with you. Whereas the first couple of hours weren't exactly scintilating, anyone who didn't dig the racing during those last few laps needs help. I will say this about Smoke's comments. I was standing there when he said them to Marty Smith. He was semi-serious, but he was also just trying to stir some stuff up. It worked!
With only two races left what are the chances that BK will be able to drive that Blue Deuce into the top spot and win this championship? And even if he doesnt win it what will finishing 2nd do for him next season?
People keep telling me that his inexperience and his career stats at these tracks mean he can't win the Cup. I don't buy that. I have a piece in ESPN The Magazine this week about how unflappable BK has been. That's just his personality. Finishing 2nd will be a huge letdown, but it is for everyone. As we've see with the 99 team, I think the long term danger is an emotional hangover with the crew more than the driver.
I have a piece running on NASCAR Now tonight at 11:30 PM ET. Brad gave me a great line. When I brought up his shaky stats at Phoenix vs. Jimmie's stellar numbers he laughed and said, "Yeah, you told me that coming to Texas, too. And guess what? I just finished second!"
Who said race teams aren't superstitious? Mr H has Junior Johnson on the 48s pitbox, and Brad has Mrs Penske on theirs. Think Mr H can convince Junior to fly to PHX and Miami?
He said after the race he was going to make Junior keep coming to the track. It was great to see Junior there. He was a having a blast. He's actually just moved to Charlotte from Wilkes Count, NC and is living right by Hendrick. They've been hanging out a lot.
And I was having a conversation with some of my IndyCar friends at Texas yesterday. None of us could remember having ever seen Mrs. Penske at the track. Like ever.
Kyle Busch hasn't won a race after Aug 31st since 2005.
But he did just get his first oval top ten finish of the year, so there's that.
What was your take on Denny's post NW race interview with ESPN's Jamie Little where he said Dillon only got his ride because of his last name?
I think that it was great entertainment. But I also think that the Dillon boys have been hearing that their whole lives and that kind of talk doesn't bother them in the slightest. I remember talking to Ty after he won the ARCA championship, a year when he'd pissed off everyone in that garage. I asked him about the "Your grandpa gave you your ride" criticism and he said, without hesitating, "Pop-Pop has given me cars and equipment that most people don't get. But I still have to drive them." That's the truth. And drive them both of those boys do...very well.
So instead of calling Jimmie OL-5 Time if he wins his 6th he should be referred to as Mr.Johnson
Fair enough.
Why didn't NASCAR penalize #2 for jumping the start on the last 2 rastarts? If was obvious he cheated Jimmie and Rowdy.
Gamesmanship on restarts is one of the great traditions of racing. If he'd really jumped out too early, or if Jimmie had really jumped out too early on the final restart, like a full car length or more, then I could see it. Maybe. But this sport is already on the cusp of overregulation. It's a balls and strikes call and I thought they did the right thing.
Did we really want a black flag there? Did we really want a call from Race Control to determine the race...and the championship? No way.
Hi Ryan, do most people in the garage agree with Denny's nepotism charge that Dilllon only got his ride because of his last name?
How demoralizing is it for Jr to have identical equipment as #48 and knowing that he doesn't have the talent to compete at the level if Jimmie Johnson?
Not at all. Look at where he is now and then compare it to how he was running two, three years ago. He's perfectly happy with how things are going. And not keeping up with the 48 isn't exactly an 88-exclusive problem.
Ryan, on the rankings why didn't you rate Rowdy Busch 3rd since he's tied with #48 in Top 10's during the chase?
Because I don't think you can possibly rank him ahead of Bowyer and Kahne right now. Honestly, I don't think I've ever had a non-Chaser ranked this high in the PR's this late in the year.
Afternoon, Mr. Benson. Aren't there too many companion races? I miss seeing trucks/nationwide at pikes peak, myrtle beach, disney, etc
I do think that Nationwide and Trucks would be better served by doing more stand-alones. Back in the day, once summer hit the Busch Series would kind go off on it's own for a while, then rejoin Cup in the fall. I liked that. The success of the Trucks at Rockingham and the Nationwide weekends at placed like Road America and Iowa certainly would seem to say there is an audience for it.
I know that Myrtle Beach is being seriously looked at. I haven't been to Pikes Peak in a while, but I think it would take some upfitting. But you can rule out Disney. I was there just last week. The good news is that the track looks great. The bad news is they'd have to haul in grandstands and all the infrastructure that was removed years ago.
What were Smoke's comments?
He said that Keselowski had a "death wish" to keep racing people like he's racing them. His point was that he nearly took out the 48 and himself. It's the same reason Jimmie pulled alongside and pointed to his helmet to say, "Dude, use your head." But at this point asking Brad to back it down is like shouting into the wind.
With how well Danica has run these last three Nationwide races, gotta wonder if she wishes what could've happened if JRM made the organizational switch from the Eury's to Ryan Pemberton at Charlotte back in May to give them more time together, because whatever he's done, it's worked. At one point she was 4th on Saturday night and only 3 Cup guys (Harvick, Kyle and Joey) in front of her. Wowzers.
There has been significant improvement throughout JRM since the changes. The Hendrick engineering guys were telling me that they've had a huge shift in the amount of questions and communication coming from JRM since Ryan Pemberton grabbed the wheel. No offense to the Eurys, but sometimes you just have to shake things up. So far it appears to be working.
How many points back can be BK be going into Homestead and have a legitimate chance at the crown?
I think he needs to keep within 10. We start getting into a dozen or more positions on the track, I just can't see that happening.
what is the latest driver line up for next year in cup?
I think we're pretty much set. There seems to still be chatter about the 43 car, but I think they should stick with Almirola. His improvement throughout the year has been pretty nice, particularly over the last month.
It would be nice to see BK win the Championship. It would make a great story. It's time for some new blood.
Based on notes I receive from fans and what I hear on the radio, you are not alone in your thinking.
Who do you think will do better at Phoenix the 39 or the 88? Newman's numbers are better but JR has been better overall this year. Jr also wants to finish strong. What is your opinion?
I'd go with the 88. There's good energy there. Junior feels much better. And, at least on the old track, he's always run well at Phoenix. Listening the 39 car on the radio, Newman and new/old crew chief Matt Borland need to put in some time to get back to their once-very comfortable levels of communication.
What will it take for Nascar to be recognized as a sport? I know driving a car is not athletic in any way but I think the danger involved should give it some credibility.
Recognized as a sport? Well, the Worldwide Leader in Sports paid hundreds of millions to televise it, so I don't think it lacks for identity as a sport. Now, if you're talking about the whole "Are drivers athletes?" debate, then my advice is to save your brain cells and use them to worry about something else. There will always be a group of people out there who argue that racers aren't "real" athletes. But all it usually takes is a few laps inside a racecar to change the minds of those dummies.
Remember Joey Galloway, the Ohio State and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver? He's a huge race fan. Loves Matt Kenseth. That man is a finely tuned human performance machine. And when I ask him that question he thinks it's so not even worth debating that he laughs out loud. They are.
I have been to the Daytona 500, Indy 500, Monaco Grand Prix, and a Bristol night race among many other races. What race would you recommend attending for the entire weekend experience that I have not attended? I enjoy all forms of racing.
I have never been to Monaco, but the other three are all great. I am a big fan of coming to Daytona for the 150's on Thursday and staying through the 500. But I have to say, it's hard to beat the Indy 500. All other race day experiences and traditions started with how they did it at Indy. Seeing it in person, even after all these years, still gives me goosebumps.
I'm impressed with the way Kyle has handled himself since he didn't make the chase. Instead of giving up he has raced hard and clean and has been getting great finishes. Also raced jimmie and brad clean the past two weeks
His numbers over the last couple of months have really been lights-out. It was interesting last night having him in the media center at the same time as Brad. He patiently waited for the questions to him to finally begin and he was very respectful of Brad's position as a title contender, though there was a little tension there because of the restart stuff at the end of the race.
I've been saying it for a couple of weeks now in the Power Rankings and I still believe this - I think he wins Phoenix this weekend.
I keep thinking at the CC for the 24, 88 and 5 keep scratching their heads and wonder how CK and 48 generate speed and run consistently up front fighting for wins.
They're the best. Plain and simple. It's been that way for a decade now. It's not any different than when I first started covering the sport and the 25 and 5 teams couldn't figure out how the 24 car was doing what it did every weekend.
Jimmie's historic run to h is 6th is great for the sport and I wondered if you think Jimmie will go down in history as #1 ahead of Petty, Pearson, Kale, Dale and those guys?
If he wins this 6th title, I think he's definitely in the conversation. I already think he's on the NASCAR Mount Rushmore...though I have five faces on that mountain. Lee Petty, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Johnson. Those guys didn't just have good years or good runs, they had their own eras. And they also have had a tremendous impact off the track.
I still think Danica should be running every truck and Nationwide race next year and a select Cup schedule. She's going to get eaten alive.
100% agree with this.
I was just in Lowe's yesterday with my wife. I asked her if she thought it was weird that there was not even a picture/poster of Jimmie Johnson hanging anywhere. Her answer was, "who cares" but I thought it was strange that for a guy who has repaid Lowe's investment ten fold that he is not a bigger part of thier marketing campaign. Maybe it is different in NC as opposed to TX ?
That stuff comes and goes in waves, depending on what Lowe's is doing marketing-wise. When I was working at NASCAR Media Group I wrote script for a championship season DVD that they gave out all winter to anyone who spent a certain amount of $ in a Lowe's and had life-size cardboard cutouts of him all the stores holding boxes of the DVDs. So, it's just a cyclical thing.
Paul Wolfe looked like he was in shock there of Knaus and Jimmies power on the track.
I chatted with him on pit road after the race last night. He said specifcally that he wasn't so much blown away by the 48 as he was frustrated by the pit stop that put them in a hole - they lost about 9 spots - and then the way the cautions fell at the end.
Jimmie and Chad are the best thats a given. But they are getting very lucky. 24 was best at the end of the race yesterday and i believe wins if not for a blown tire. Also at Martinsville Jimmie spins Montoya when gordon was about to pass him. Then after they pit two stay out so gordon gets stuck 4th on the outside lane. Lets say 88 pits as he said after the race he should have 24 wins cause jimmie would have been outside. Just as easily could be back to back for 24 as it is for the 48.
Sure, and with a little luck Brad could have won last night. And the 14 car last November at Homestead got the luckiest break of all-time when the rain arrived when it did and not just a few minutes different one way or the other. Luck will always be a part of the sport. But the trick is to be in a position where that luck means winning or losing, not finishing 14th or 23rd.
Regarding Almirola and the #43. There aren't a lot of better options out there. What are people clamoring for? Moving Michael Annett up to Cup?
That's just it. I keep hearing from fans who know that I grew up a Richard Petty loyalist, saying that he needs to go. But no one has a better option. I think Annett is going to be great, but he's not there yet.
The season is too long, I have a plan. Each track gets one race. Take out the Road Courses for the Chase and give the Chase to each track once every other year. 32 week schedule and I think it will improve attendance. You only get one to choose from, and when you have two, one is a Chase race. Thoughts?
I like the idea. But the problem with swapping out Chase races is just the logistics of it. A LOT of people, from track owners to safety crews to sponsors to fans who have their annual vacation routines, have to have a lot of warning before you mess with the calendar.
That being said, I have always been a supporter of shortening the season. It's too long. We have a supply and demand problem in that it never goes away - at least not for more than a handful of weeks - and thus there's no hunger for it.
The NFL Draft is a big deal because people are starving for football. The Super Bowl is first weekend of February...and then there aren't real games until the week after Labor Day.
it was great seeing a piece about johanna long on countdown. think she will ever get a ride with a solid team?
Hope so. I think she will. She's paying her dues and has done a great job in not great cars. That hasn't gone unnoticed in the Cup garage. Now she needs a sponsor that's willing to take a chance on her.
ryan has nascar influenced the media not to speak out on the mysterious spin out of mark martin not once did has anyone shown what happened to him--i know it couldnt be to the lack og coverage--think this is the only caution of the year that was not shown how it started
Yes. You've busted us. Mike Helton ran into the TV booth and pulled all the camera cables out of the wall. Then he pointed a shotgun at Dale Jarrett and told him not to say anything.
I didn't actually see the TV coverage. I was out on pit road. But I think that was probably a case of there was too much else going on. They can only cover so many things at once. Right then, the cause of the caution wasn't as important as the chaos that caution caused in the race and championship hunt.
you only get your chat articles because of your last name
Totally right. My Dad was Dave Marcis's gas can man for some races in the 1970's and clearly that influence is why I am here today.
Will nascar be around to race Jetson type car in the future?
Funny you say that. I was as Epcot last week and was reading all the stuff about the future of cars with my daughter. Flying cars, cars that drive themselvesm etc. She said, "How will this work for NASCAR?"
I told her that maybe it would end up like pod racing in Star Wars. That'd be cool with me.
Alright folks, gotta go. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry I couldn't get to everyone. It got kind of crowded over the last 15 minutes, which is awesome. So hit me up on Twitter (@ESPNMcGee) or via email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Until next week, tip the wait staff, enjoy the music of Eddie Miles, and, above all...VOTE!

An Essential Starter Kit for Any CIO Considering the Internet of Things or Software Companies Needing a Jumpstart
Reston, VA, May 27, 2014 – Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) today unveiled its Internet of Things (IoT) Solution Accelerator, a tightly-bundled set of smart tools that help business leaders gain actionable insights from different, disparate data sources in real-time enabling them to make better business decisions.
The new Software AG IoT Solution Accelerator enables data analysts to quickly and easily visualize and analyse the performance of their devices individually or together. It also allows the rapid development of "Smart Systems" that respond in real-time to patterns in event and sensor data. The IoT Solution Accelerator comprises and combines five essential components: (1) out-of-the-box real-time, advanced streaming analytics; (2) Universal, low latency messaging; (3) in-memory processing of hundreds of terabytes of data; (4) real-time HTML5 dashboards that run anywhere in portals, websites, Microsoft SharePoint and all mobile devices, and (5) end-to-end security, including secure sharing outside the corporate firewall.
The IoT Solution Accelerator includes connectors to popular IoT providers such as Axeda's Machine Streams and AT&Ts M2M platform. Additionally, it includes a Project Development Kit (PDK) and a solution guide. The PDK contains developer tools comprising frameworks, templates, customizable user interfaces, etc. All the pieces needed to quickly install and run the application are included. There is also documentation and source-code based intellectual property provided to kick-start developers to customize or even extend the Solution Accelerator capabilities.
John Crupi, Vice President of Visual Analytics, Software AG, said: "We are witnessing a massive explosion with the interconnection of things as more physical objects become embedded with sensors, actuators and devices to gain the ability to collect data and communicate. Forward-thinking companies are already recognizing the potential benefits of a global system of internet-connected things, but struggle with the challenge of how they can manage, control, and act upon the anticipated tsunami of data and events that all this will undoubtedly create. The Software AG Internet of Things Solution Accelerator simplifies the tasks necessary to store, visualize and use the growing connectivity and influx of data."
Dan Shey, Practice Director, ABI Research, noted: "The challenge will not always be about the volume of data, but the different technologies needed to gather, store and analyze the data. Nowadays, new database technologies are often built on Hadoop, but it is not designed and hence is slow for real-time analyses. By leveraging in-memory database technologies, data access and event processing is lightening fast allowing insight generation in real time. With connections reaching nearly 24 billion 'things' by 2020, the resulting incremental information promises to shape new business models, drive business process efficiencies, and help reduce costs and risks."
Only the Software AG IoT Solution Accelerator helps companies build an integrated, comprehensive platform for the entire IoT infrastructure with robust, end-to-end security. A unique feature of the IoT Solution Accelerator is its capability to combine both real-time data and historical data at the same time. This delivers actionable, contextual information that enables business analysts to identify opportunities or threats as they occur and act upon them.

By Carmen Gonzalez Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall.

Title: | THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A SEXUAL VICTIMIZATION HISTORY AND WOMEN'S RESPONSES TO HIGH AND LOW RISK SITUATIONS |
Author: | Nason, Erica |
Advisor(s): | Yeater, Elizabeth |
Committee Member(s): | Smith, Jane Witherington, David |
Department: | University of New Mexico. Dept. of Psychology |
Subject: | sexual victimization, revictimization, risk factors, sexual attitudes, response effectiveness |
Degree Level: | Masters |
Abstract: | This study evaluated the effects of a sexual victimization history, psychopathology, and sexual attitudes on the effectiveness of women's responses to high and low risk dating and social situations. Two hundred and twenty undergraduate women listened to a description of each situation, viewed a clip of an actor making a verbal prompt, and provided a videotaped, verbal response to each situation. Participants then completed measures assessing victimization status, psychopathology and sexual attitudes. Finally, participants viewed their responses and rated how effective each response was at decreasing their risk for having an unwanted sexual experience (i.e. an experience in which a woman may be verbally or physically coerced into having sexual contact of any kind with a man). Experts in the sexual violence research area also rated participants' responses using the same instructions. Regression analyses revealed that sexual attitudes were the only significant predictor of response effectiveness for both the high and low risk situations, with greater liberal sexual attitudes predicting decreased response effectiveness. However, mediational analyses indicated that liberal sexual attitudes mediated the relationship between victimization history and participants' response effectiveness to high and low risk situations. Implications for sexual assault prevention interventions are discussed. |

"Supergirl" is a pop song by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus, performing as Hannah Montana – the alter ego of Miley Stewart – a character she played on the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana. The song was written by Kara DioGuardi, in collaboration with Daniel James, and produced by Dreamlab. "Supergirl" was released on August 28, 2009, by Walt Disney Records as the lead and only single from the series' third soundtrack, Hannah Montana 3. A karaoke version is available in Disney's Karaoke Series: Hannah Montana 3. The song is characterized by dance-pop elements in its musical composition and contains lyrics regarding the lows of pop stardom.
The song received average to mixed reception from contemporary critics and garnered average commercial outcomes for Cyrus in several countries, compared to those of her previous efforts as Montana. In the United States, it peaked at number five on Billboard 's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (Hot 100–105). It marked Cyrus' first entry as Montana in Austria; it peaked at number fifty-eight on the Austrian Singles Chart. A music video for "Supergirl" was released, taken from footage of a concert performance.
"Supergirl" was co-written by Kara DioGuardi, who composed a total of four songs on Hannah Montana 3, and Dan James.[1] A karaoke version is available in Disney's Karaoke Series: Hannah Montana 3.[2] "Supergirl" leaked into the Internet in November 2008, along with six other songs from Hannah Montana 3.[3] The song first premiered on Radio Disney on July 2, 2009, in order to promote the soundtrack and was afterward released as the lead and only single from Hannah Montana 3 on August 28, 2009.[4][5]

"Supergirl" is pop song with a length of two minutes and fifty-five seconds. According to Allmusic, the song contains dance-pop and teen pop elements in its music,[6] while Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly cited rock music as its main influence.[7] Peter Larsen of The Orange County Register described the track as a bouncy dance-pop number also.[8] The song is set in common time and has a moderate rock tempo. It is written in the key of C major and it follows the chord progression Am11–Fmaj7–C–G.[9] Warren Truitt of About.com interpreted the lyrics of "Supergirl" to be about the lows of pop stardom.[10] Larsen believed the line "You just wanna be like me" was a representation of Cyrus, "a super duper girl".[8]
Critical reception[edit]
"Supergirl" received average to mixed reception from contemporary critics. Heather Phares of Allmusic said, "That feeling of familiarity extends to the songs that haven't appeared anywhere else. Whether it's the happy side of Hannah ('It's All Right Here,' 'Supergirl') [...] they sound very much like what came before them."[11] Warren Truitt of About.com agreed but stated, "[The song] may be a little cookie-cutter, but at least the songwriters realize who their audience is and they deliver the goods".[10] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly compared the song's style to that of Kelly Clarkson.[7] While reviewing a concert before the release of the soundtrack, Peter Larsen of The Orange County Register predicted it would be released as a single and become popular with children, yet "saturate [parents'] ears for a month or two".[8]
Chart performance[edit]
On the week ending July 25, 2009, in the United States, "Supergirl" debuted at number five on Billboard 's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart (Hot 100–105) upon Hannah Montana 3 's release.[12] The song dropped from the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart in the following week.[12] On the week ending September 11, 2009, "Supergirl" debuted and peaked at number fifty-eight on the Austrian Singles Chart, marking Cyrus' first appearance in the country as Montana; it also dropped from the Austrian Singles Chart after one week.[13][14] Along with its B-side, "Every Part of Me", the song peaked at number forty-two on the German Singles Chart.[15]
Live performances[edit]
On October 10, 2008, Cyrus, dressed as Montana, premiered "Supergirl", along with eight other songs, at the concert taping for the third season of Hannah Montana, which was set on October 10 in Irvine, California at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre.[8] The performance began with Montana, dressed in a white and pink tie-dye tee shirt, white pants, pink leather jacket, and large sunglasses. The performance begins with Cyrus sitting in a bench, facing a mirror, as backup dancers apply makeup on her and attend her. She stands up and roams around the stage to sing afterward.[8] Peter Larsen of The Orange County Register called it one of "hits of the night".[8] The performance was later premiered as the song's music video on July 2, 2009, on Disney Channel to promote Hannah Montana 3.[4]

All My Sons Guilt and Blame Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
Keller: She thinks he's coming back, Chris. You marry that girl and you're pronouncing him dead. Now what's going to happen to Mother. Do you know? I don't. (1.208)
Joe needs Kate's support. In his effort to sustain a delicate situation, Joe tries to guilt Chris into protecting his mother.
Quote #2
Mother: Everybody was in such a hurry to bury him. I said not to plant it yet. [To Keller] I told you to…! (1.272)
Kate blames Joe for accepting Larry's death too soon – and perhaps for the romance unfolding between Chris and Ann that she's anxious to prevent.
Quote #3
Mother: You above all have got to believe, you…
Keller: [rises] Why me above all?
Mother: …Just don't stop believing…
Keller: What does that mean, me above all? (1.309-312)
Kate doesn't say much, but she says it clearly enough for Joe to understand. He above all has to believe that Larry is still alive, because if Larry is dead, then Joe killed him.

Walla Walla Sweet Onion Plants
Great cold hardiness makes it a good choice for short-season climates!
Ultra-mild bulbs mature 2 weeks quicker than other Spanish types!
56 days. If you like sweet onions like the ones grown in Vidalia, Georgia but don't have the short-day climate required to grow them, you'll love this ultra-mild variety from Washington State! Maturing up to 2 weeks sooner than other Spanish types, it's a delicious cold-hardy variety with a flattish shape, tan skin, and white flesh. Sweet enough to eat like an apple, yet with an onion "zing" that adds zest to any dish!
Space plants 2 to 3 inches apart in the garden. If you want crisp, tender green onions, harvest the bulbs just after the swelling begins. For mature bulbs, wait until the tops fall over after the growing season. Then dig up the bulbs, cure for 3 weeks, and store in a cool, dry place.

Paper Trails: True Stories of Confusion, Mindless Violence, and Forbidden Desires, a Surprising Number of Which Are Not About Ma (Paperback)$14.99
Usually Ships in 1-5 days from Our Distributor
DescriptionIn the 1970s and '80s, before he earned national acclaim for his award-winning novels, Pete Dexter was a newspaper columnist. Every week, in a few hundred words, Dexter cut directly to the heart of the American character at a time of national turmoil and crucial change. With haunting urgency, his columns laid bare the violence, hypocrisy, and desperation he saw on the streets of Philadelphia and in the places he visited across the country. But he reveled, too, in the lighter side of his own life, sharing scenes with the indefatigable Mrs. Dexter, their young daughter, and a series of unforgettable creatures who strayed into their lives. No matter what caught Dexter's eye, it was illuminated by his dark, brilliant humor. Collected here are eighty-two of the best of those spellbinding, finely wrought pieces—with a new preface by the author—assembled by Rob Fleder, editor of the bestselling Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Book. Paper Trails is searing, heartbreaking, and irresistibly funny, sometimes all at once. As Pete Hamill says in his foreword, these essays "are as good as it ever gets." About the AuthorPete Dexter is the author of the National Book Award-winning novel Paris Trout and five other novels: God's Pocket, Deadwood, Brotherly Love, The Paperboy, and Train. He has been a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Sacramento Bee, and has contributed to many magazines, including Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy. His screenplays include Rush and Mulholland Falls. Dexter was born in Michigan and raised in Georgia, Illinois, and eastern South Dakota. He lives on an island off the coast of Washington. Rob Fleder was executive editor of Sports Illustrated and the editor of SI Books during his twenty years at Time Inc. He was the editor of Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Book, Sports Illustrated: The Baseball Book, Sports Illustrated: The Football Book, and Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, among other New York Times bestsellers. Praise for Paper Trails: True Stories of Confusion, Mindless Violence, and Forbidden Desires, a Surprising Number of Which Are Not About Ma…"[A] literary feat—when Dexter gets going he crawls under the skin and stays there." |

A crazy couple of weeks
by Josh Pfeiffer on February 6th, 2015 | Fishing Reports, Recent TripsThis last couple of weeks have been busy to say the least, but in a good way. I know the fishing report has suffered big time but now with everything done we can get back in the rhythm of things. The weather and the water flows haven't been that great so it's not like we had much to write about. Now don't get me wrong there have been some good days here and there but we had to think outside the box. When we couldn't get out to fish we still spent our time on the water but left the rods at home.
The streams in the smokies have been really cold with temps getting down in the 30's and that slows things down significantly. That's why the tailwaters are the better choice in the winter with more consistent temps around 50. When the tailwaters are off the fishing can be good but it's just finding a window to get out that can be a challenge. Midges are about the only bug you'll see on the water, but those tiny bugs are what keep the fish active. You can't go wrong with brown or olive but don't be afraid to experiment with different colors if the same ole doesn't produce. Who knows, you might find your new go to fly.
A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to go on my first mission trip with Freedom International (itisforfreedom.com) in the Dominican Republic. These missionaries down in the Dominican are doing an incredible amount of work for the Lord teaching the Haitians how to read and write in the school that they built by hand. They also travel to the villages in the sugar cane fields speaking the Gospel through VBS to the families. These folks have left their lives back in the states to dedicate their time to the cause and are funded only through donations. If you would like to help out you can contact them through their website.
The Freedom Team
After getting back from the Dominican we only had a couple of days to get things washed and ready to head back out for a family vacation to Mexico. It was nice to get away and not have an agenda for the week. The days pretty much consisted of playing by the pool with Danielle, walking down the beach and laying around.
One of the days I did manage to get with my guide Enrique for a day of bone fishing on the flats. Stalking bonefish on the flats can be frustrating sometimes but when you look at your surroundings and you remember that it's in the 70's and sunny you forget about everything else, especially when you hook up. We probably landed about 10 or 12 bonefish over the day and lost that many more. Enrique is a great guide and knows these flats better than anyone. I even told him that I've never caught a snook and he put me on my first one.
This saltwater stuff is addicting.
Now that we're back home and things are back to normal, trips are booking up and everyone seems to be planning for spring early. I hope we have a good quill gordon hatch this year to start us off, that would be nice. It might be the best hatch of the year. Maybe it's because it's the first one or because they're the biggest mayfly we have and they come off in good numbers. Either way we're looking forward to it.
If you're thinking of planning a trip to the Smokies this spring then give us a call and we'll get a trip set up for you to get out on the water for one of these great hatches. We hope you have a blessed day and thanks for reading. Take care.

Merry Christmas!
by Josh Pfeiffer on December 23rd, 2014 | Fishing Reports, Recent TripsChristmas is a great time of year and probably my favorite because it's the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior. The pressures of gift buying, family gatherings and traveling can get to you and a getaway for yourself is the best medicine. The weather channel is saying that we're in store for some pretty decent weather for the next 5 days so it might be a good time to get out and fish.
The generation schedules on the Clinch and Holston are kind of hit or miss but if you can catch a good schedule and you have some time off, take advantage of it because you never know when you'll see the water off again. The fishing has been good and there are some very nice fish willing to eat a whole variety of flies. Black flies have been thick at times along with midges and a few caddis fluttering around. The great thing is that the fish haven't been hit too hard so fly selection isn't as important. Your plain jane pheasant tails and zebra midges under an indicator or dry fly will work just fine.
Sometimes simplifying things can have big results.
The streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are something to consider as well. The water is cold and the fish are sluggish but that doesn't mean they can't be caught. Getting your flies deep (on the bottom) is a good start, but if that's not enough start putting on shot until you see your indicator "tick" the bottom. Sure it's not as fun as watching a fish sip a dry off the surface but at least you're catching fish. As far as flies go hares ears, prince nymphs and caddis larvae imitations will do the trick. Stop by and talk with the guys at Little River Outfitters, they'll get you squared away with what you need.
Jayson with a healthy rainbow that took a prince nymph.
Be careful while fishing in frigid temperatures, take some extra clothes along with you and don't get too far from the car if you don't have to. Also bring some hand warmers, you wouldn't believe the moral boost it can be. I've fallen in way too many times and have learned this the hard way how miserable it can be. Have fun, be safe and have a very Merry Christmas.

Early Winter setting in
by Josh Pfeiffer on November 19th, 2014 | Fishing Reports, Recent TripsFall in East TN can be spectacular with stunning views of colorful Mountain sides from the middle of October till sometimes almost Thanksgiving. This year has been quite a bit different and the weather has turned cold quick. Here we are in "SNOW-VEMBER" and we've already seen several heavy snow falls in the mountains along with dustings in the valley. There have also been the occasional flooding problems here and there but that has settled down and the water looks great. The only threat to the fishing has been the water temps which have ranged anywhere from the low 50's to the mid 30's which can definitely throw the fishing off axis.
Glenn landed several fish like this last week and deserved everyone of them for fishing in terrible conditions.
The fishing hasn't been bad at all it's just that the temps make it tough to stay warm and keep moral high. It's pretty bad when you catch a nice fish and don't want a picture with it just to keep your hands from touching the water, but I give credit to anyone that will come out and fish in those conditions. Fishing cold mountain streams means changing techniques to fit the situations. Dry fly fishing is almost completely gone now but fishing nymphs can be just as fun if done right and can even produce some better sized fish, not to mention it keeps the rod bent in tough conditions. Small nymph's like 18's and 16's with light tippet (5x-6x) will do the trick.
Something else to keep in mind is staying out of the fast water where the fish would have to work hard to swim. Cold water slows the fish's metabolism way down making them sluggish and they're not going to want to waste energy to get a small meal. Slower pools will definitely produce more activity. Just make sure to add the right amount of weight for the water you'll be fishing and get those flies to the bottom.
Jules landed this beauty on a number 18 nymph in frigid temps.
The good news is that starting Friday we should see a warming trend with days in the 50's and even 60's which will be a nice break from the teens which we're sitting in while writing this report. This dramatic change in weather should turn the feed on and get the fish active. Heck, it will be nice to just be on the water with the sun shining. The tailwaters are also still running high but should be cutting off soon once they get the lakes down to their winter levels. When this happens it should be fantastic since the fish haven't seen much in the way of fishing traffic.
9,000 cfs isn't easy to fish in but it can be done.
Our season is winding down and we're seeing less and less traffic on the roads and more open pull off's in the Smokies. This is that time of year when solitude can be found once again on the river where you might not see another fisherman all day. I love this time of year personally, it's become one of my favorite times of year and we get a lot of fishing done. If you're in town and would like to get out on the water don't give up on the idea of catching fish; GIVE US A CALL and we'll take you out and show you how.
