The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Before she decided to study the alchemy of scent, Cartier's in-house perfumer, Mathilde Laurent was set on becoming a photographer. But when, as a science and chemistry student, she was asked to become an apprentice to Jean-Paul Guerlain, grandson of the great Jacques Guerlain, her path took a more fragrant turn.
"It was the 1990s and perfume had become big business," she recalls, "so most of my fellow students wanted to work with the big industry names. Guerlain was old-fashioned to them. But that's what made it wonderful to me. Working for the great house of Guerlain was like entering a school of art."
Since joining Cartier in 2005, Laurent has created a series of perfumes for the French luxury house, developed the Bespoke Fragrance service at its Rue de la Paix home in Paris, and earned two Fragrance Foundation of France awards. Throughout her career, she has travelled the world and taken inspiration from sensory experiences along the way. Here she recalls her journeys through scent.
The smell of Paris, where I grew up, is the aroma of street-corner florists. I love the fragrances of the flowers at Odorantes, at 9 rue Madame. It is a very ornate little florist, with stuffed birds and butterflies placed around. It smells exclusively of fragrant flowers.
My latest scent, La Treizième Heure, is inspired by Chartreuse, the green alcoholic drink made by Carthusian monks since the 18th century. It is a homage to a time when perfumery was medicinal.
You cannot capture anything as a scent; you cannot capture the spirit or the soul of a country any more than you can capture the soul of a person, it would be pretentious to claim otherwise. But sometimes, by chance, a scent will come back and revive the memory of a journey. That's how you fall in love with a fragrance.
I once tasted limes on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, and understood how the scent of a lime was formed. When I got home, I was inspired to create L'Heure Brillante for Cartier.
I have fond memories of family holidays in Corsica. It smells of fir and balsamic and the sun makes the soil very dry. On my last trip, the scents that struck me were of autumn, the earth, dead leaves and wood. For me, the best places to stay are the small villages up in the mountains as they are the oldest and have remained authentic. The Cap Corse region is one of the most amazing places I've stayed, with views of the sea to both sides. The landscape is impressive: it is savage and has such a strong and powerful beauty.
The most memorable scent I have experienced while travelling is of frangipani and ylang-ylang trees in Mayotte, an island that sits somewhere between Madagascar and Mozambique. It is a volcanic island and I remember it as quite a poor place. The sea that surrounds it is incredible. I crossed the island in a jeep at 3am so I could smell the trees, which look strange – their branches made me think of witches' hands. The ylang-ylang flowers are so perfumed – the island women cut them from the trees by hand.
The sun never smells the same in any two places as it warms all the different scents, which then unravel. Sand smells different in each place, too.

Evolutionary Explanations of the "Actuarial Senescence in the Wild" and of the "State of Senility"
Caivano 80023, Naples, Italy
Received 20 April 2006; Revised 16 August 2006; Accepted 18 August 2006
Academic Editor: Alexander Buerkle
Copyright © 2006 Giacinto Libertini.
A large set of data suggests that progressive reduction of fitness and senile decay in vertebrates are in correlation with the decline of cell replication capacities. However, the limits in such capacities are hardly explained in evolutionarily terms by current gerontological theories that rule out fitness decline as something genetically determined and regulated, and therefore somehow favored by natural selection.Four theories are tested as possible explanations of the "increasing mortality with increasing chronological age in populations in the wild" ("IMICAW"[1]), alias "actuarial senescence in the wild"[2], and of the observed negative correlation between extrinsic mortality and the ratio between deaths due to intrinsic mortality and deaths due to extrinsic mortality. Only the theory attributing an adaptive value to IMICAW allows an evolutionary explanation for it and for the aforesaid inverse correlation, while the other three theories ("mutation accumulation", "antagonistic pleiotropy", and "disposable soma" th.) even predict a positive correlation.Afterwards, the same theories are tested as possible explanations for the "state of senility"[3], namely the deteriorated state of individuals in artificially protected conditions (captivity, civilization, etc.) at ages rarely or never observable in the wild. With the distinction between "damage resulting from intrinsic living processes"[4], alias "age changes"[5], and "age-associated diseases"[4,5], the same theory explaining IMICAW allows a rational interpretation of the first category of phenomena while another theory, the "mutation accumulation" hypothesis, gives an immediate interpretation for the second category.The current gerontological paradigm explaining the increasing mortality with increasing chronological age as consequence of insufficient selection should be restricted to the "age-associated diseases". For IMICAW, it should be substituted with the concept of a physiologic phenomenon genetically determined by a balance of opposite selective pressures — strictly in terms of kin selection — and, for "age changes", with the action of the same IMICAW-causing mechanisms at ages when selection becomes ineffective.

Could Japan Shrug Off the Dollar's Dive?
With the yen at a 12-year high against the dollar, and the U.S., a vital export market, in a subprime-fueled funk, Japan's economic growth is looking distinctly wobbly. But could the world's second-biggest economy be more resilient than many pundits and investors believe?
The question is not as far-fetched as it might seem, according to some analysts. For instance, Lehman Brothers' (LEH) equity strategists Ian Scott and Paul Danis cautiously draw some positives out of Japan's current challenges that could bode well for its equity markets. "In no sense can we describe the economic outlook [in Japan] as 'good' but, with expectations already low, and the speed with which sentiment regarding the U.S. economy has deteriorated in recent weeks, we think a better relative performance is justifiable," they wrote on Mar. 18 in a note to clients.
For sure, there are plenty of reasons to be gloomy about Japan's prospects and undoubtedly the rapidly rising yen is the major worry. Trading at 99 yen to the dollar, the Japanese currency has strengthened by over 20% against the greenback since June and is at its strongest since 1995. Before the Federal Reserve once again slashed interest rates on Mar. 18, the dollar briefly fell below 96 yen. Political squabbling in Tokyo has also led to paralysis at the Bank of Japan at a time of global financial instability (BusinessWeek, 3/18/08).
Exports Still Drive Japan's Growth
The strong yen is tough on Japan's automakers and other exporters that rely on U.S. for a large chunk of earnings. Nomura Securities projects that if the yen falls to 95 yen to the dollar, pretax profit will rise just 1.4% at Japan's 347 leading nonfinancial companies in the financial that begins next month. A Japanese government survey in January showed that 106 yen to the dollar was the average rate at which 356 exporters said they could run a profit. At Toyota (TM), which is on track to post record earnings, every one yen appreciation against the dollar shaves $350 million off its operating earnings. (For the current quarter, Toyota's projections assume an average yen-dollar rate of 105.)
Even more worrying is that Japan's economy, enjoying its longest run of unbroken growth since World War II, relies on exports for the lion's share of its growth. In the past two decades there have been just two years when the Japanese consumer has driven economic growth, notes Jesper Koll, president and chief executive officer of Tantallon Research Japan. "They were the peak years of the bubble economy. Since then we've had an export-driven economy plus public works," he says.
The stock market is certainly due for a bounce. This year the benchmark Nikkei 225 index has shed over 20%, compared with a 9.7% fall on the Dow Jones industrial average, despite Japan's conservative banks (BusinessWeek, 2/21/08) having largely avoided the kind of problems enveloping Wall Street.
Consumer Spending Is Finally on the Rise
Improving macroeconomic data could help. Lehman's Scott and Danis note that sentiment among small and midsize Japanese businesses has recovered after falling sharply in 2007, machinery orders increased 4% in January and bank lending, after sliding last year, is also rising.
Just as importantly, consumer spending is climbing. Despite weak sentiment (BusinessWeek, 3/7/08), consumer spending actually increased 3.6% in January—its fastest rate since May, 2004. While that pace will surely slow, Lehman projects gross domestic product growth of 1.6% this year. That's hardly stellar, but better than the 1% it projects for the U.S.
The notion that the strong yen is unremittingly bad for Japan Inc. also needs qualifying. Sure, a surging yen is very bad for big exporters, particularly given the rapidity of its appreciation against the dollar. And many export-driven companies are already are busy finding new ways to stem shrinking earnings. "We may have to think whether there are other things to do" besides cost-cutting, Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe told reporters after a speech at the Japan National Press Club on Mar. 13.
China Replaces U.S. as Top Trade Partner
But the impact need not necessarily be as severe as in the past. One reason is that while the yen has strengthened markedly against the dwindling dollar and the British pound, against other currencies it is relatively stable. For instance, the yen-euro exchange rate is relatively unchanged from a year ago when one euro bought 156 yen. Today, the same euro would buy 155 yen. "I'm not too worried about the exchange rate in the sense that I think it was undervalued to begin with," says Richard Koo, chief economist at Nomura Research Institute in Tokyo. "The real problem for the economy is its dependence on exports."
Japanese companies, including exporters, are also far less exposed than they once were to the ups and downs of the U.S. economy. In 2007 for the first time Japan traded more with China than with the U.S. Meanwhile sales to other emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil are also helping diversify earnings (BusinessWeek, 1/18/08).
And many exporters, particularly automakers and suppliers, have invested heavily in overseas plants that reduce the impact of currency gyrations. By 2010, when Toyota opens its eighth North American factory, it will be capable of producing 2.2 million vehicles in the region. The last time the yen reached levels against the dollar seen this week, Toyota's total production outside of Japan had only just passed 1 million vehicles a year.
The strong yen also insulates Japanese importers against the rising cost of raw materials priced in dollars. Copper prices measured in yen in Japan have fallen 10% since last June. Aluminum prices, which have surged 15% in dollar terms, are down 9% when measured in yen. "An appreciation in the yen is not necessarily bad news for the Japanese economy and equity markets," Shinichi Ichikawa, chief strategist at Credit Suisse (CS) in Tokyo wrote on Mar. 5 in a research note to clients. "A strong yen acts to improve terms of trade, which helps Japanese companies and other economic entities control their costs." So is it time to buy Japanese stocks? Perhaps not exporters, but Ichikawa likes the look of retailers, food producers, and financial firms.

Original Release: May 18, 2004
Since the dawn of time, the serpentine draft has had a unique influence
on the fantasy football experience. What pick did you get? Who
got the first pick? These questions told you that draft day was near... the
greatest day of the year in fantasy football. My league fully embraced
the serpentine draft as we utilized it during our initial nine years of existence.
In year ten, we made a highly controversial decision. In the spirit
of trying to make our league better, we eliminated the serpentine draft in
favor of a new system. At the time, some were skeptical... but they
aren't anymore.
If you are currently using the serpentine draft, you are not using the most
efficient player selection system available. You may not know it, but
your system is deficient. You need to make a change. It's time
to go to an auction. We used it for nine years, so I know the serpentine
draft works, it's just that the auction works better. Let me tell you
The primary reason is because it allows you to instill a higher degree of
fairness within your league. There is a fundamental flaw with the serpentine
draft in that all team owners are not on equal ground at the start of the
player selection process. Simply put, every player is not made available
to every owner. This fact is irrefutable. The player that is
drafted first is not available to 90% of the league. This inequity
is compounded depending on how far down an owner's draft position is, as
there are multiple players that are never available to him. This issue
is easily remedied by going to an auction format.
The auction also offers the additional element of salary cap management.
This feature is a nice benefit in that it makes the process more strategic,
challenging, and fun for the hard core fantasy football owner. Rather
than simply drafting the highest valued player available, an owner needs
to determine when he should strike and when he should stand back and let
the others fight it out for a certain player. It is the World Series
of Poker, fantasy football style. You look your opponent in the eye
and back and forth you go in your bidding war, wondering if your opponent
is just trying to make you pay more, or if he absolutely has to have the
Opponents of the auction will argue that it takes too long. This is
a myth. The auction took us about the same amount of time as the regular
serpentine draft. Opponents of the auction will argue that you have
to pay more attention, rather than relaxing between picks. This... is
actually true. If you are concerned about having to pay attention,
you probably shouldn't auction; in fact, you probably shouldn't play fantasy
football at all because you are obviously incompetent.
The truth of the matter is that most leagues aren't moving to auction because
they don't think there is a problem with their current system. I used
to feel that way. As I stated earlier, the serpentine draft does work.
A typewriter works too, but I chose to type this article up on the computer
anyway. It just seemed like a more efficient way to do it. This
isn't about good old Mr. Serpentine not working; it's about the auction working
Should you try it, you will find the auction to be more equitable, challenging,
and entertaining than its serpentine brethren. I wrote this article
because I now realize that our league should have made the transition years
ago, but we didn't think it was any big deal. We were content in our
ways; we didn't know what we were missing. Now that I know what I know,
I have chosen to enlighten the masses. It is now up to you, young grasshopper,
to learn from my wisdom.

Vincent Lecavalier is ready for one more run at the Stanley Cup, and the Los Angeles Kings are giving him a chance
Hockey Canada announced Thursday that four players — three defencemen and one forward — have been added to the Team Canada roster
The Toronto Maple Leafs truly need this No. 1 pick. Not so much because it will help the team, but because it will help erase the bad feeling in everyone's mouth after a lousy second half to the season.
With the Stanley Cup playoffs set to begin Wednesday, the Maple Leafs spent Monday morning going through the time-honoured ritual of emptying out their lockers and trying to explain how yet another season of hope had unraveled
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer said he received "some really good news" from a neck specialist he visited in Montreal over the weekend, saying the injury that forced his season into a premature end was not a concussion, as once thought.
Unleash the beast. That is what Toronto Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle is trying to do with Luke Schenn
After making Luke Schenn a healthy scratch in a game on Wednesday, Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle sat down with the young defenceman on Friday morning and had a talk about where his game should be headed
No team had been playing as poorly as the Toronto Maple Leafs. And as another handful of teams across the National Hockey League returned to work after the trade deadline, some with a renewed sense of hope, the Leafs faced something less
The weeks before the NHL trade deadline is probably one of the easiest times of the season for sports radio producers and hosts

Hard Times in Illinois - by Stephen Lendman
With America's worst budget crisis per capita, Illinois reflects the crushing nationwide burden facing most states. As a result since 2008, they raised taxes, made big cuts in health care (including Medicaid), education and other social services. They also laid off thousands of state workers, cut pay and benefits for others, and plan more of the same going forward.
Collectively in FY 2011, state governments face about a $140 billion deficit, besides major shortfalls in large and small cities. In fact, according to Nick Johnson of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, this year "will actually be the most difficult budget year for states ever," and 2012 may be as or more challenging.
Moreover, unlike 2010, little or no federal aid is planned with Washington in discretionary spending austerity mode. It means states and working Americans will largely be on their own to cope.
On January 5, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address suggests what's coming nationwide. Facing a projected $9 billion deficit, he outlined proposed draconian cuts in education, health care, and state payrolls, including pay and benefits, saying "New York spends too much money." So to curb it, he also wants a 20% reduction in state agencies, authorities and commissions, while pledging to keep New York "business friendly," meaning workers will feel pain, not fat cats.
Accordingly, he announced no tax increase for the wealthy and will let a so-called temporary "millionaire's tax" surcharge on $200,000 a year or more earners expire, depriving the state of $1 billion annually.
Illinois in Deep Crisis
The University of Illinois' Institute of Government & Public Affairs (IGPA) headlined a recent report, "Illinois Budget Woes: Titanic and Sinking," stating:
State problems aren't new, but lawmakers haven't "developed a strategy for resolving the situation and it is rapidly growing worse." Moreover, IGPA analysts say:
"the state's fiscal disaster is even worse than commonly believed, will take years or even decades to remedy and can be fixed only by large and fundamental changes in both spending and tax policies...."
With spending exceeding revenues, and obligations not postponed, unpaid bills are growing "at a frightening rate. For instance, IGPA's Fiscal Futures Model indicates (they) could reach $40 billion by July 1, 2013, with an associated delay in paying those bills of more than five years."
Besides its $13 billion deficit and $6 billion in unpaid bills, its pension fund is about $130 billion in the red - a red flag that state workers may lose out altogether, wiping out their promised retirement savings. Overall, achieving a balanced 2012 budget requires one or a combination of three alternatives, including:
-- enormous increases in personal and corporate taxes to 7.1% and 11.3% respectively;
-- raising the current 6.25% sales tax to 13.5%, and/or
-- cutting spending across the board by 26%, exclusive of debt service, pensions and transportation.
Moreover, IGPA concludes that state fiscal problems "are so enormous that no single tactic will be enough to balance the budget....We start so out of balance that even an absolute freeze on all spending will not achieve balance (over) a 10-year time horizon. Bringing Illinois to fiscal solvency will require state government to implement multiple and massive policy changes. If nothing is done soon, (Illinois) faces a very bleak future."

After buses from Challapata (where I expect they've never seen a white person before) to Oruro, then from Oruro to La Paz, we arrived at 3.30am and I stayed with the German girl and Mexican guy and slept on the bus till 6ish when we went to find a hostel.

Back at the hostel we chilled out for a while and started looking into flights for Vietnam. After a bit of research we found it was almost as cheap to fly to New York for a few days first. Around 5:30pm we headed out to see what kind of deal we could get from the lady down the road. We managed to get 2 North Face jackets, a north Face bag and Chandoug bag for 1420 ...

Corporate behemoths are aware of the love/hate feelings nurtured by many of their customers. Perhaps that's why they spend so much money and effort building headquarters that are shining beacons of earth-friendly architecture. We're talking hundreds of acres of sloping, verdant hills, burbling streams and weeping willows, zig-zagging grass roofs and vertical, enclosed gardens. The public face of these petroleum giants is so green that William McDonough would do the Dougie with joy.
From the "mountain-water garden" aesthetic of the new Chevron HQ in Nanjing to the sprawling lawns of Exxon's campus in Houston, an exemplar of "high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship," there's no trace of petro-stink on any of these buildings. You can see a few beautiful examples in the slideshow below. For fun, we've also tossed in the vegetation-festooned headquarters of Weyerhaeuser, a huge logging company based near Seattle, and the Belarusian Potash Company in Minsk (potash is a main ingredient in chemical fertilizers).

by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP
In all my years as a health provider for women, I think I can count on one hand the number of women for whom emotions played absolutely no part in their relationship with food. Our emotions and how we eat (and when and what) are so intertwined that I think it is virtually impossible for a woman to get healthy — and, eventually, to lose weight — without first addressing her emotional attachment to food.
Each day I hear all kinds of stories about women's emotional relationship to food. For many of my patients, these memories, particularly the early ones, are fond ones: the ice cream truck on a hot summer day, traditional holiday meals celebrated with family. These stories underscore how food can be used to make us feel comforted, connected and loved. In many families food is the only currency of love, a legacy many women unwittingly pass on to their own daughters and sons.
Or just as often, the opposite may occur. Mealtimes may have been excruciating exercises in power or parental control. How many children sit down to a meal only to hear, "I have a bone to pick with you?" How many are forced to sit at the table until they eat everything on their plate? Who wouldn't eventually lose their appetite after being fed a regular diet of criticism and shame every evening?
As women move into their adolescence, stories often morph into tales of deprivation and triumph over food, the perceived enemy. One of my patients describes how she and her friends ate one meal a day all through their senior year in high school, squeezing each other's hands in support, so they could fit into tiny little prom dresses in June. Another remembers coming home and lambasting herself if she ate more than half a yogurt container for lunch. Often adolescence for girls is the entry into what may become a lifetime of self-loathing, all for wanting and needing to do something that is a vital necessity — eat!
Our society has few rituals in place to make teen-aged girls feel comfortable with their emerging curves and hormonal surges. As a result, a girl's burgeoning body, her promise of fertility and womanhood, can feel threatening—more so to herself and her parents than anyone else. And if a woman never finds a way to feel comfortable with her grown-up shape, either through romantic love or emotional work, this discomfort parlays into an ongoing struggle with food and self-esteem.
Eating disorders aren't the exclusive domain of young women. In their book, Runaway Eating, Cynthia Bulik and Nadine Taylor help clarify why huge numbers of women in their 40's and early 50's now find themselves coping with midlife stress through unhealthful eating patterns, including binge eating, yo-yo dieting, calorie restriction and compulsive exercise. While a woman at this age may not consider herself anorexic because she eats regularly, her obsession with maintaining control (and not just of her food intake) can be just as destructive. Emotional attachment to ritualized denial — of food, of pleasure, of money, of rest, of sex — is anorexia in another guise. It is an effort to erase a part of yourself or your life that weakens your sense of control.
And women aren't the only ones doing the erasing. Just look at what has happened to dress sizes in the past 40 years — for those of you who still sew, you know your pattern is really a "12" even though designers are sewing size "6" labels into your clothes these days. And what's with size "0," "00" and "000" anyway? Do women need to fully disappear to be truly attractive?
At least 80% of the patients I see have some form of emotional issues with food — and what I've learned over the years is that most of them grew up in dysfunctional families. If you see yourself among the ranks of these women, it may reassure you that you don't have to suffer alone — you are part of a wide continuum, at either end of which lie extreme over-eaters and under-eaters — and just by reading this article you are taking another step toward healing.
So now that you know that age has nothing to do with an emotional attachment to food, let me assure you that it has nothing to do with your level of education or socioeconomic bracket, either. What does vary among emotional eaters is how an individual has learned to respond to stress. Some women become hyper-responsible or obsessive-compulsive, and use food as a form of control over themselves or others. Others are sensate types and cope by taking it all in, learning to soothe and stuff their feelings with food. In every case, though, what we're talking about is preoccupying yourself with food to prevent yourself from feeling unwanted feelings — including but not limited to the big ones: pain, despair, and shame.

She also added that she feels great whenever she is compared to Smita Patil.

— Recounted in chilling detail where minutes seem like hours, the 911 call from the aftermath of the plane propeller accident that nearly killed Lauren Scruggs has been made public.
Only days after a rehabilitating Scruggs was seen publicly for the first time since the incident, TMZ.com posted the audio Friday of a 911 call filled with graphic and intense details of the immediate aftermath of her accident on Dec. 3. Scruggs, a 23-year-old Dallas-area model and fashion blogger, accidentally walked into a spinning plane-propeller in darkness following a flight to view Christmas lights in the Dallas area. Her left hand was immediately severed and her left eye was damaged so severely it later had to be removed. She also suffered brain and shoulder injuries.
"A girl walked into an airplane prop,'' a frantic female caller tells the 911 operator at 8:48 p.m. "I need an ambulance immediately.''
Speaking to another person nearby at the scene, the caller then asks, "Is that her hand? I think it cut her hand off.''
After the caller relays to the operator that Scruggs is on the ground and not moving, she hands the phone to a male caller. The new caller notes that Scruggs is conscious and breathing. The caller is then asked where specifically she is injured or bleeding.
"We don't know, we haven't turned her over,'' he says. "I don't know where else she's hurt.''
As the operator tries to get more details about the situation, Scruggs can be heard moaning and wailing in agony in the background.
The operator urges someone at the scene to get clean towels to apply pressure to the area where Scruggs was bleeding. However, she is face down on the ground and the operator instructs the caller not to move her because of a possible head or neck injury, so those gathered around are not able to determine the exact spot of the bleeding other than that it appears to be coming from part of her head.
At the end of the call at 8:54 p.m., members of the local fire department and emergency personnel arrive and transport her to a local hospital.
Since that horrific night, Scruggs has made encouraging progress. On Tuesday, she was photographed while leaving her rehabilitation center in Dallas, walking without assistance and appearing relaxed with her blonde hair tucked under a Dallas Cowboys hat. She had a white patch concealing the removal of her left eye as a result of the accident, and had her jacket pulled down over her left arm.
"I don't know how to thank each one of you, properly, for so much love during this difficult incident in my life,'' Scruggs wrote on her blog on Jan. 9. "My heart is so grateful beyond what I could ever imagine. So thank you dearly for the sweet encouragements, the precious words in letters and messages, the beautiful grace in pretty presents, but mostly I am so SO thankful for you and your loving hearts and sweet spirits.''
Her family has also regularly updated her progress on the site CaringBridge.org, which has received more than a million views on the page dedicated to Scruggs.

Betty Zane HTML version
Chapter 10
It was near the close of a day in early summer. A small group of persons surrounded
Col. Zane where he sat on his doorstep. From time to time he took the long Indian pipe
from his mouth and blew great clouds of smoke over his head. Major McColloch and
Capt. Boggs were there. Silas Zane half reclined on the grass. The Colonel's wife stood
in the door-way, and Betty sat on the lower step with her head leaning against her
brother's knee. They all had grave faces. Jonathan Zane had returned that day after an
absence of three weeks, and was now answering the many questions with which he
was plied.
"Don't ask me any more and I'll tell you the whole thing," he had just said, while wiping
the perspiration from his brow. His face was worn; his beard ragged and unkempt; his
appearance suggestive of extreme fatigue. "It was this way: Colonel Crawford had four
hundred and eighty men under him, with Slover and me acting as guides. This was a
large force of men and comprised soldiers from Pitt and the other forts and settlers from
all along the river. You see, Crawford wanted to crush the Shawnees at one blow. When
we reached the Sandusky River, which we did after an arduous march, not one Indian
did we see. You know Crawford expected to surprise the Shawnee camp, and when he
found it deserted he didn't know what to do. Slover and I both advised an immediate
retreat. Crawford would not listen to us. I tried to explain to him that ever since the
Guadenhutten massacre keen-eyed Indian scouts had been watching the border The
news of the present expedition had been carried by fleet runners to the different Indian
tribes and they were working like hives of angry bees. The deserted Shawnee village
meant to me that the alarm had been sounded in the towns of the Shawnees and the
Delawares; perhaps also in the Wyandot towns to the north. Colonel Crawford was
obdurate and insisted on resuming the march into the Indian country. The next day we
met the Indians coming directly toward us. It was the combined force of the Delaware
chiefs, Pipe an Wingenund. The battle had hardly commenced when the redskins Were
reinforced by four hundred warriors under Shanshota, the Huron chief. The enemy
skulked behind trees and rocks, hid in ravines, and crawled through the long grass.
They could be picked off only by Indian hunters, of whom Crawford had but few--
probably fifty all told. All that day we managed to keep our position, though we lost sixty
men. That night we lay down to rest by great fires which we built, to prevent night
"Early next morning we resumed the fight. I saw Simon Girty on his white horse. He was
urging and cheering the Indians on to desperate fighting. Their fire became so deadly
that we were forced to retreat. In the afternoon Slover, who had been out scouting,
returned with the information that a mounted force was approaching, and that he
believed they were the reinforcements which Col. Crawford expected. The
reinforcements came up and proved to be Butler's British rangers from Detroit. This
stunned Crawford's soldiers. The fire of the enemy became hotter and hotter. Our men
were falling like leaves around us. They threw aside their rifles and ran, many of them
right into the hands of the savages I believe some of the experienced bordermen

A few months ago I joined a foodblogger group on Yahoo groups. It was so fun to find that many of my favorite bloggers were already members of the group. Anyway, Amanda, the moderator and all round gal in charge had a brilliant idea to form a Secret Recipe club within the group. Those of us who wanted to participate signed up and were then were assigned another blog to visit and cook from…secretly. We are going to do this every month.
Today is the reveal. I was given Winnie's Healthy Green Kitchen. I had so much fun looking through her recipes. She has beautiful photos and great healthy ideas. She has recently started a blog party called Eco-Friendly Friday. If you have any environment conscious posts, ideas, recipes, etc…go over and join her!
Of all of Winnie's recipes, I knew I had to try her Thai-inspired Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup. It looked so delicious. I love soups, too, because they are easy to stretch to feed a large group. The soup I made served ten.
I did a little fiddling with the recipe. I don't have access to kaffir lime leaves. I bet there aren't any within 100 miles of my house. I also didn't have any Date and Tamarind Sauce. So I punted. The results were a huge hit with everyone. My second son, the Thinker, said, "Mom, you could sell this soup in a restaurant." Thanks, Winnie.
- Thai Chicken Noodle Soup (adapted from Healthy Green Kitchen)
- 8 cups chicken stock (homemade is best, but 4 can chicken broth will do)

- 1½ tsp ground corriander
- 1 small onion, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp chile oil
- 1 can coconut milk

- 1 package soba noodles, broken up
- salt and pepper
- ½ tsp sriracha hot chile sauce (or more if desired)
- juice of 2 limes
- cilantro for garnish
- In a skillet, saute the coriander with the onion and garlic in the chile oil.
- Set aside.
- In a Dutch oven, heat the chicken stock with the fish sauce and ginger root.
- Heat to boiling and then turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Remove the ginger root and discard.
- Add the contents of the skillet to the Dutch oven, along with the coconut milk, carrots, red pepper and chicken.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered, until the carrots are soft.
- Add the noodles, salt & pepper to taste and lime juice.

Lakes supporter
Ward Is a Vote for Lakes
Our region is known statewide as "the Brainerd lakes area." Our beautiful lakes define us. They are the cornerstone of our local economy, recreational pursuits, tax base, and quality of life that make this area of Minnesota such a great place to live, work, and play.
Yet, aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as zebra mussels, eurasian watermilfoil, curlyleaf pondweed and others looming on the horizon threaten to "kill the goose that laid the golden egg."
A vote for John Ward is a vote for protecting the future quality of our lakes. Rep. Ward has worked tirelessly in the House to pass stronger regulations that prevent the spread of AIS. In 2012, he authored a bill that passed into law doubling the fines for noncompliance of AIS laws, including failure to pull the boat plug when transporting a boat.
Tough issues call for tough solutions. Rep. Ward has pledged to continue the fight for tougher regulations and resources to protect our lakes and insure that our children, grandchildren, and future generations enjoy "the Brainerd lakes area".
