This module allows Drupal caches to be stored in files instead of
storing in database. This module is available only for Drupal 7.
Comparison with other caching modules
memcache is the closest caching module. File Cache can be configured
to use memory filesystem (e.g.
/dev/shm in Debian) which is very close
to what memcache do. File Cache can use network filesystems and this
is another use case where memcache is traditionally used.
apc can be used for cache bins too. If it's used for that purpose,
it's usually only for some of the critical cache bins like
cache and
boost generates caches of pages that are directly served by web
server. File Cache can plug in regular Drupal page caching and provide
very fast page caching but this still needs a bit of PHP to be
executed. Database access can be avoided altogether though. See
$conf['filecache_fast_pagecache'] in
Relation with cacherouter and fastpath_fscache modules for Drupal 6.
Benchmark results in real scenarios are needed in comparison against
memcache, apc and boost. If you have such experience, please share
with File Cache maintainer ogi (Ognyan Kulev). Numbers in
comparison with memcache against File Cache on memory filesystem are
especially important.
Quick Installation
Install module as usual, e.g. by placing unpacked
filecache directory
sites/all/modules and enabling the module in
admin/modules. Go to
admin/reports/status and follow the instructions. These instructions
are meant to be complete so if they are not enough, file issue against
File Cache module.

Through this page, and the website below, we hope to account for every family, every person in Vladimirets. By giving them back their names and putting them back in their place in the Family Tree, all the effort that was made to obliterate them becomes worthless. We cannot bring them back or truly understand what was lost, but we can remember what we can and embrace them as the family they are. In Vladimirets, we were all connected, whether by blood, by marriage or by relationship. This database and website hopes to show that we still are.

Bring a modern take on vintage barn style lighting into your home with this wonderful olde bronze mini pendant light.More Details >
This olde bronze, one-light mini pendant has a look inspired by classic barn style lighting. Its time-worn finish is a perfect fit for its distinctive screen shade and vintage details, accentuated by the use of a single Edison style bulb.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I had three typical glass pendants over my large kitchen island. Out of the blue, one fell and smashed into a million glass shards on my counter top! Luckily it was at night, and although it scared me half to death, no one was injured. I spent the next day cleaning up the glass which went everywhere, what a dangerous mess! I never wanted that to happen again, so I was looking for fixtures without glass. Loved these when I saw them and I knew they would look great. I get so many compliments from friends and family, as they are a bit of a style departure, but I love the unexpected and I love that I no longer have to worry about anyone getting hurt from flying glass!
Love these fixtures, really great quality at great price point
This is a really stunning pendant. What sold us was that it comes with a series of down rods that hide the wires. That is very important to us - we hate seeing wires and cords. The color is exactly as depicted online - a nice, warm chocolate brown. The light looks and feels substantial, but is not overly heavy (hang weight under 3 pounds), and has a nice "sandpapery" textured finish to it. The 1890 style Edison bulb is a beautiful bulb in and of itself and it looks fantastic in this fixture. From box open to install was less than 30 minutes. We hung 3 over our kitchen countertop. The lighting will mainly be used for gentle illumination (we wired them to a dimmer) rather than task, as the Edison bulbs only get so bright and they look amazing when they're not fully illuminated. The pendant would work with many design styles from modern to traditional to craftsman to vintage. Fixtures were perfectly packaged and are of great quality. They do not disappoint.

Artificial breeding is an important project to protect, recover and reintroduce endangered species. Knowledge of the population's genetic diversity at functional loci is important for the establishment of effective captive breeding programs. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are ideal candidate genetic markers to inform planned breeding, due to their high levels of polymorphism and importance in the main immune coding region of the vertebrate genome. In this study, we constructed BAC-based contigs and isolated six functional MHC class I genes from the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), which we designated Aime-C, Aime-F, Aime-I, Aime-K, Aime-L and Aime-1906. Analyses of the tissue expression patterns and full-length cDNA sequences of these class I genes revealed that Aime-C, -F, -I and -L could be considered classical class I loci, due to their extensive expression patterns and normal exonic structures. In contrast, Aime-K and -1906 appeared to be nonclassical genes based on their tissue-specific expression patterns and the presence of an abnormal exon 7 in both genes. We established techniques for genotyping exons 2 and 3 of the classical loci using locus-specific single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequence analysis. In the Chengdu captive population, we identified one monomorphic locus (Aime-F) and three polymorphic loci with different numbers of alleles (4/4/4 exon 2 alleles at Aime-C/I/L and 6/5/5 exon 3 alleles at Aime-C/I/L). The distributions of the Aime-C, -I and -L alleles among members of different families were in good agreement with the known pedigree relationships, suggesting that the genotyping results are reliable. Therefore, the MHC-I genotyping techniques established in this study may provide a powerful tool for the future design of scientific breeding or release/reintroduction programs.

Jamie Oliver is aiming to help families who are having to count the pennies.
His next project is a book and TV show later this year, designed to make meals which cost less and waste little as people face the financial squeeze.
Save With Jamie: Shop Smart, Cook Clever, Waste Less, is described by publisher Michael Joseph as "a bible for all those who want to affordably cook tasty, nutritious, inspiring meals".
Jamie says: "This year I've got the message loud and clear that as everyone comes under bigger and bigger financial pressure, they want help to cook tasty, nutritious food on a budget. So this book was born completely out of public demand.
"Our biggest luxury is knowledge, whether times are hard or not. So get kitchen-smart and smash the recession."
The book is designed to help people make better choices by buying items more economically, as well as getting the most out of ingredients and saving time.
Jamie has been at number one in the lucrative Christmas book chart for the past three years with Jamie's 30 Minute Meals, Jamie's Great Britain and Jamie's 15 Minute Meals.
Tom Weldon, Jamie's long-time publisher and CEO of Penguin UK, said: "We are always thrilled to announce a new cookbook from Jamie but we are particularly excited about Save With Jamie. It seems like just the right time for such a book from one of the nation's most trusted chefs."
The book is due out on August 29 and will tie in with a series for Channel 4.

Jumpsuit, from a selection at Jasmine Di Milo at my-wardrobe.com; bangle, £16, and ring, £8, both Freedom at Topshop; shoes, £54.99, River Island
I'm a single mum now and it's going great. It's been seven months since my husband Daniel (Caltagirone, an actor) and I broke up. Now I have a nanny who is also my housekeeper because all my family are up north. That's it, that's my network, but it works really well. Daniel has the kids some nights and some weekends, so in a weird way I get more time now than I did before, which is nice. It's about planning. You're running a household, and as long as you're on top of everything, it's easy. Daniel used to be away for months on film shoots – I managed perfectly well then, and I manage perfectly well now.
Roman, six, and Valentino, four, are asking a lot of questions, but they seem to be alright. They're curious and I tell them as much as I can about what's going on with me and their Dad. Daniel and I are managing to have a relationship based on our kids. You have to, or you wouldn't be very good parents.
I'm seeing someone new. Yes, I have a boyfriend. But no, you're not allowed to know who he is. I'm going through a divorce, I've got children to protect. But he's met the kids and I'm very happy. He's lovely, really lovely.
My sons are like chalk and cheese, totally different, but they're really close. Roman is quiet and sensitive and Tino is more rough and tumble.
Tino won't do anything without Roman. If Roman has to go off and do something, Tino really doesn't like it, he just wants to be with him. Even if Roman is naughty and gets sent to his room, Tino wants to go with him.
Roman wants to be an actor, but he wants to be an engine driver too, so who knows. He is very good at accents – he does a cracking impression of me. They both have southern accents, which is a shame. It's strange having children who don't speak anything like me. They look very different too, but they both have dark hair and dark eyes. A year ago, Roman was the spitting image of me, but I can't see myself in either of them now.
I'm quite a strict parent, I think. My mum was strict with me, although I'm a bit more lenient than my mum was, but I think that's just a generational thing. I totally understand her tactics – the old ways are usually the best – and I think I've turned out alright in terms of respecting other people and being polite and I have a good work ethic. It's taken me until the age of 38 to respect the way I was brought up – as a mum you never really get any gratitude. Kids don't know why you say 'no' all the time.
I had terrible morning sickness with both my pregnancies. With Tino it lasted six months. I'd be on TV and I'd have to go off in the break to throw up. Everything would make me nauseous – having a hot shower, opening the fridge door, everything.
I don't know how I feel about my sons growing up. The worst thing is the moodiness – Roman's moody now and he's only six, it's like, 'Oh my God, he's a teenager already!' By the time they get to that age I'll be 10 years older, so maybe I'll be able to handle it, I don't know. Or I'll be so worn out, I'll just lie there and let them get on with it.
Both my sons' births were awful – Roman's was bad and Tino's was even worse. I had to have a blood transfusion and they nearly gave me a hysterectomy because the placenta wasn't coming away from the womb, and I was haemorrhaging. My obstetrician said, 'Right, we need to get this whole thing out.' But as soon as he said it, I stopped bleeding. It was awful. I remember looking in the mirror afterwards and I was grey. I thought, 'That's what death looks like.' I remember the baby was crying and I just said to the nurse, 'Can I feed him?' She was like, 'Are you sure?' And I was in bits saying, 'If it's the last thing I bloody do, I want to feed my son. Give him to me now!' You're like a wild animal when you've just had a baby, and I just had this desperate need to feed him. It was very dramatic.
At the time it put me off having any more kids, but the years go by and it no longer feels as painful. Now, I'd definitely like to have another one. I'm broody. Just because I've got divorced doesn't mean I've lost my womanly instincts. I definitely feel the need to have more children.

I tell you what's happened to me. I took a couple of years off after Today With Des & Mel ended, but because I stand in for Paul O'Grady on his show when he's on holiday, I've kept my arm in, and I'm always busy. I took time off to spend with the kids. I got Des & Mel three months after Roman was born, and it went on for five years. I went straight back to work after Tino was born, so when the show ended I thought, 'I need to see a little bit of this boy.' Now Tino is in school I've got the time to get back into it, but it's not like because I'm Melanie Sykes I can walk into a TV studio and they'll book me for a big Saturday night show. It doesn't work like that, it's like starting again. But it's exciting and I'm fresher.
I don't want to do reality TV. I almost did Strictly Come Dancing, but I didn't in the end and I think that was a good choice. I'd like to be at the end of my career and know I didn't do a reality TV show. I think that would be quite something in this day and age.
The worst job I've been asked to do was eat junk food for a month to see what would happen to me. I was like, 'Why would I want to poison myself for the sake of TV?' You think, 'Who would do that?' but there's always some bugger that will. I don't have to be on TV regardless of what the project is to make me feel good. When I went from modelling to TV I was offered some trolley dolly roles and I just thought, 'Well I'd rather be a model than do that.' It has to be something that's fulfilling on some level.
I still miss Des & Mel. I see a lot of Des O'Connor, though – we talk once a week, we go for dinner and he's very much part of my life. They were good times, and they were hard times. It was a long slog, and he was like a second husband. It'd be like, 'Blimey, I've got kids, I've got my husband and I've got Des.' I love him to bits, though.
I used to see myself on the Dorset coast turning out novels. And I thought about acting years ago and did a course in New York. But it's an incredibly tough business and I can't remember scripts, so I just couldn't do it. I'd love to do a Woody Allen or Ken Loach film where you can improvise, but not many directors do that, and I can't breathe natural life into written words.
I'd love to do another Boddingtons advert, but I think the reason they don't is it's not actually brewed in Manchester any more, it's somewhere really random in the middle of nowhere. People still shout, 'Ere, Tarquin, are yer trolleys on't right way round?' at me in the street. I'll forever be the Boddingtons girl and I'm OK with that.
I turned down the chance to be a Bond Girl. It wasn't a full part, it was a kissing scene and there were no lines, so I'd have been fine. But I'd just met Daniel and I thought it was a bit weird to go off and snog someone else. I thought, 'I won't do it, it's not fair.' But I love Bond movies. Very silly decision, I've not made many, but that's one of them. Silly cow. I'm an idiot.
Top, £38, Topshop; skirt, £39.90, Zara; sunglasses, £18, Jeepers Peepers; ring, £10, Freedom at Topshop; shoes, £54.99, River Island
It makes me sound like I think they're naff, but I don't – I love brass bands. Me and my dad go to the Royal Albert Hall every year and watch 20 bands play. We'll take our sandwiches, drink beer and follow the score.
I train four times a week. I'm 38, I have to work out, I can't let myself go. My body is fitter and looks fitter than it ever has. I do fluctuate. I've been a 10, 12, and a 14 at times. My happiest size is between a 10 and a 12, anything less than that I think I look a bit thin. Because I'm tall, people don't notice and I look slim even when I'm not, which is great.
I have aged, I have lines, of course I have. But I don't mind, I'm not bothered. I want to look the way I'm supposed to look. I'd never have surgery, never in a million years, I just think everybody ends up looking weird.

Lambda Legal Victory: New York Landlord Adds Same-Sex Spouse to Lease
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(New York, November , 2013) - Today, Lambda Legal announced that Weinreb Management, a New York City-based management company, has added lesbian tenant Dava Weinstein's spouse, Dorothy Calvani, to her rent-stabilized lease, in compliance with state and city law, and agreed to pay $20,000 to the couple to settle the matter.
"Dava and Dorothy should not have had to retain lawyers and go through this emotionally taxing experience to protect their clearly established rights. Other New York State apartment management companies, landlords and building owners should take note: Same-sex spouses must be treated equally under the laws of New York," said Karen Loewy, Senior Staff Attorney for Lambda Legal. " New York housing laws are clear: LGBT tenants have a right to equal treatment, and to have a spouse's name added to a rent-stabilized or rent-controlled lease."
After marrying her partner of 37 years in Iowa in 2011, Dava Weinstein, 68, a licensed clinical social worker, provided a copy of her marriage certificate to Weinreb Management requesting to have her spouse, Dorothy Calvani, 64, a geriatric nurse practitioner, added to the lease. In response to her request, Weinreb Management incorrectly told the couple that New York State does not recognize their marriage. Even after they sent their landlord proof of their rights, Weinreb Management still refused to add Dorothy as a co-tenant to the lease of the Upper West Side apartment they have shared since 1977.
"After months of disregard and discrimination, we are happy that this issue is finally resolved. If something should happen to either me or Dorothy, we now know that our housing is secure because both of our names are on the lease," said Lambda Legal client Dava Weinstein. "Despite all our efforts, it took legal action from Lambda Legal to protect our rights. Landlords should just follow the law. I hope no other same-sex couple in New York has to go through this just to make sure they have housing security for their family."
In October, Lambda Legal filed a complaint in New York Supreme Court on behalf of Dava Weinstein and Dorothy Calvani against Weinreb Management LLC, the management company, Jacob Weinreb, its managing partner, and Sabina Weinreb, the apartment owner, asserting that their refusal to add Dava's spouse, Dorothy, to her rent-stabilized lease is in direct violation of the New York Rent Stabilization Code and provisions of the New York State and City human rights laws. Weinreb Management LLC settled this matter with Weinstein and Calvani for $20,000 on terms agreeable to all parties.
Read the complaint here: http://www.lambdalegal.org/in-court/legal-docs/weinstein_ny_20131002_complaint
The matter is Weinstein and Calvani v. Weinreb Management LLC, et al.
Karen L. Loewy, Senior Staff Attorney, is handling the matter for Lambda Legal, along with Susan Sommer, Director of Constitutional Litigation. They are joined by co-counsel, Jeffrey S. Trachtman, Norman C. Simon, and Jason Moff of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP.

Didn't Rossi recently reply in a blog that ecats would be soon delivered to some university or other for "independent tests"? Thus Bologna rotated out. Maybe AR will organize this PDQ now Defkalion made their testing announcement yesterday.
Maybe there is some friction. Did not Celani imply that results on engineering LENR should be made public, in his address notes at the scientific conference a few days ago. … The opposite of Mr Monopoly (Microsoft) Rossi.

Podio is a Danish company that provides an enterprise social networking and collaboration tool that also includes a platform for building simple custom apps through a point and click interface. Today the company will announce support for this building environment through its iPhone app.
The Podio iPhone app won't yet support the creation of apps, but users will be able to access and use apps they create.
Podio CEO Tommy Ahlers says that an Android app is another 2-3 months out.
Podio has a freemium pricing model. Ahlers says the company already has 40,000 accounts, though of course not all of these accounts are paying. Some of its major customers include BMW (where Podio is used in one department) Alcatel Lucent (where Podio is being used in a few departments) and InMobi (where Podio is used through the company).
Services Angle
Business process modeling vendors have been providing business analysts with visual programming tools for years, and now Podio is trying to bring point and click app development to business unit managers and even end users. This could empower employees to create custom workflows without writing code. Podio reminds me of SharePoint, but is far simpler and more user friendly. Creating a help desk system could be done with only a few clicks.
This point and click app revolution, along with out of the box integrations provided by companies like SnapLogic, could be a major disruptor for the traditional services industry.

Wireless Grids Wants to Hook You Up
You might think kids in a college dorm could perform any digital feat imaginable, but even for the young and digitally adept there are limits. A student can't, for example, sit on a sofa in the common room, whip out an Apple (AAPL) iPhone, use it to browse a stash of photos on the computer in another room, and then drag and drop them over to a big-screen TV so everyone can look at them together.
The obstacle is this: Electronic gizmos like computers, mobile phones, and TVs weren't designed to share content with each other, and the networks they run on don't speak a common language.
Universal Network
A Syracuse (N.Y.) startup called Wireless Grids intends to change that with software designed to break down the walls between different networks and devices. The technology behind Wireless Grids was developed with the aid of more than $2 million in U.S. government grant money from the National Science Foundation and about $500,000 in funding and research support from U.S. networking gearmakers Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Novell (NOVL), Britain's BT (BT), Japan's Hitachi (HIT), and Finland's Nokia (NOK). U.S. chipmaker Intel (INTC) is considering collaborating with Wireless Grids, while Telecom New Zealand (NZT) is evaluating the technology for use in homes.
The concept is that everyone should easily be able to access all of their own content, whether it is stored on a phone, a computer, or a personal video recorder. And users should be able to swap content among devices regardless of where those devices are located in the world. Even more radically, Wireless Grids says users should have the power to specify individuals with whom they'd like to share—and to decide who gets access to what. For this purpose, Wireless Grids says it has built in security measures that are all but hacker-proof.
Any device that can link to the Internet can download Wireless Grids' software, which will work across all types of networks or computer operating systems. Once the software is loaded, a menu pops up asking which things you'd like to share. The initial version allows users to share software files as well as computers, speakers, printers, cameras, and screens. Users click on an icon and select which files and devices they want to make available. The other parties can be located anywhere, as long as their devices also have the software loaded.
Beginning in January, 40 students in a dorm at New York's Syracuse University will test-drive the technology. As devices are loaded with the software and come online, the content tagged for sharing will become available in a kind of virtual repository that designated members can access inside or outside of the dorm. In theory, at least, copyright won't be an issue because the available files won't actually move from one device to another.
The first customer for this software is Syracuse itself, which helped develop the technology along with five other universities including MIT. If all goes well, Wireless Grids' software will be embedded in next-generation wireless devices by late next year. It will also be introduced into homes via new broadband offerings from phone companies, says Wireless Grids CEO Lee McKnight, a Syracuse University professor who worked with Internet pioneer Dave Clark on Internet economics and security issues in the early days of the Web.
Precursors and Rivals
Wireless Grids is by no means the first company to attempt to provide the tech glue necessary to connect entertainment and communication devices. In 1990, an Apple spin-off called General Magic tried to bring together computer, communications, and consumer electronics companies around a new kind of handheld device that would share information and computing resources on a network, using an operating system called Magic Cap. Sony (SNE), Motorola (MOT), Philips, and AT&T (T) were among the partners and investors in the company, which went public in February, 1995, and ceased operations in 2002. Other early attempts resembled General Magic in that they were overpriced and locked users into hardware solutions, says Knight.
More recently, companies such as Sling Media and Orb Networks have enabled users to access their media on different devices, while Pure Networks makes it easier to connect all kinds of gizmos in the home. Consumer network storage companies like Western Digital (WDC) and Linksys, a division of Cisco, allow remote access to home content by consumers and the people they designate. So it's a good time for Wireless Grids to make its move.
ABI Research predicts 206 million households around the globe will have home networks by 2010, generating $11.5 billion in revenue. But setting up a home network can be hard for those who lack tech expertise. The task only gets harder with more sophisticated gear. "Wireless Grids can be the next huge market opportunity, not only for this company but for a wide variety of industry players from semiconductor and device manufacturers to network, software, and content providers," says Berge Ayvazian, chief research officer at Boston tech consultancy Yankee Group.
Top Talent Signs On
The company has had no difficulty attracting smart people. One recent recruit was Norman Lewis, former head of research on the convergence of Internet and wireless technologies at the French phone company Orange. After reviewing the technology, Lewis quit his job and signed on as Wireless Grid's chief strategy officer. Another convert is Jim Anderson, a co-founder of About.com, a Web site that provides consumer information and advice. Anderson is serving as an adviser to Wireless Grids and plans to provide specially designed information security technology from a company he now owns, to make sure unwanted intruders can't hack privately run grids.
In the three years since its launch, Wireless Grids has raised more than $800,000 in funding from business angels and $400,000 from companies doing research. It's now trying to raise venture capital. The company plans to make money by embedding its technology into the next generation of wireless devices, selling it as an add-on service to existing home-network offerings from telcos or cable operators, and charging a range of royalty fees.
The company will eventually release its technology to open-source software developers. But first it plans to let it loose on college campuses and see what uses the students come up with. As Lewis says, "it is often the unintended outcomes that are most illuminating."

That drugstore bar soap isn't doing your skin any favors. Trade up to Archipelago's triple-milled formula, which pairs a pure vegetable oil base with rich mango seed and shea butters. White tea and cranberry extracts provide an antioxidant boost but the star is pomegranate, a power ingredient that has benefits for both skin and psyche.
wow, this is a great soap. i am always looking to try new soaps and body washes, and i primarily buy from Lush. i got this in the January birchbox and i was impressed that it was a really good sized sample. it smells great too and i suppose the shea butter in it is what made my skin feel so soft. i still had to use lotion afterwards, but who wouldn't in this colder weather. i really like this soap and will definitely buy a bar when i run out of all my other soaps!5

Pennyroyal Tea by Nirvana Songfacts
This song is about making a tough decision, the difficult choices around it, and the guilt following it.
Pennyroyal Tea can induce an abortion when drunk in large quantities. Due to its toxicity, however, drinking a lot of it is very dangerous.
Nirvana played this on their MTV
special, which was recorded shortly before Kurt Cobain killed himself. The album was released about 6 months after his death, and went to #1 in both the UK and US.
Suggestion credit
William - Indiana, IN, for all above
This was the only song during the MTV Unplugged performance that Kurt Cobain played solo, a decision which might have been made at the last minute given the dialogue by Cobain right before he starts playing.
Suggestion credit
Adrian - Brookings, SD
The reference to laxatives and cherry-flavored antacids implies the song is about heroin addiction. Many junkies have laxatives around to combat the chronic constipation that opiates bring.
Suggestion credit
Mark - Gainesville, GA
A remix of this was scheduled for release as a single, but it was pulled when Cobain died. The few copies that leaked out are now rare collector's items.
The lyrics could be Kurt thinking he's a lazy, weak figurehead who is depressed and sad and wants a new life. Some lyric analysis:
"I'm on my time with everyone" - He was usually late for interviews.
"I have very bad posture" - Childhood Scoliosis made him appear hunched over.
"Sit and drink pennyroyal tea" - This could be a drug he took to calm his stomach pains, but it is also a play on words with penny royalty, meaning a cheap figure head.
"Distill the life that's inside of me" - He wants to cleanse his life and start fresh.
Suggestion credit
Lucy - Ottawa, Canada
The line, "I'm on warm milk and laxatives." could be about Cobain's dependence on DXM, scientifically known as dextromethorphan, which is available in most drug stores. As a result of consuming so much DXM (in the form of Robotussin), he developed stomach pains. One of the long term affects from this is the deterioration of the kidney and liver. The pain that you get from this physically addicting drug is unimaginable. It drove him to do heroine, which didn't last long so he used other remedies to cure his stomach pain.
Suggestion credit
Chris - Libertyville, IL
Cobain namechecks another famous songwriter prone to depression in the lines:
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Cohen wrote many introspective songs dealing with death and his place in the universe, something did as well.

"Pennyroyal Tea" is perhaps one of the most widely misunderstood Nirvana songs of all time. First off, the song is a parody - yes, a parody. The most obvious clue we're given actually comes at the very end of the song when the speaker gives out a death scream and then follows with three or so groans as the music slows down. Our tortured hero is dying. Before you rush to judgement I suggest you listen to it again. If you keep an open mind you'll realize that the end sounds silly; almost slapstick even.
Perhaps suggesting "Pennyroyal Tea" is a parody has offended you. Here's a songfact- Kurt Cobain was a smart-ass. Lets not forget that the title of "In Utero" was going to be "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" (I believe that this was stated in Michael Azerrad's Come as You Are). This wasn't because Kurt Cobain really hated himself and wanted to die, it was because he wanted to make fun of his public image. The title got dropped and due to commercial reasons and "In Utero" took its place.
Pennyroyal Tea, like the original name of the album, pokes fun at the way Kurt Cobain was portrayed by the media. Other clues he gives us are joltingly campy lines like "I'm on warm milk and laxatives, cherry-flavored antacids" and "I have very bad posture." He even drops the bass and drums during the former line to make it even more blunt than it already was. And "I have very bad posture" sounds so blunt as to be funny. Was Cobain really lamenting his bad posture? Come'on folks. It's self-conscious over-the-top parodic self-loathing.
There is a lot of dark humor and sarcasm in Kurt Cobain's music and Pennyroyal Tea is no exception. Don't be fooled by the sad chords and the pretty melodies - he usually has something up his sleeve. That's what made him a great songwriter.
And if you are saying to yourself "He effing killed himself, Socrateshirt! He obviously hated himself!;" then I suggest you check out the film 'Soaked in Bleach.'
Socrateshirt - Los Angeles
okay the part about the tea is not because he had stomach pains as he said himself it was something he threw in there because he has a lot of friends who have tried to use it as an herbal abortive and it never worked. a quote from Kurt himself. I think the anemic royalty is his self image issues. He thought he was too skinny which is why he wore a lot of layers. The song itself according to Cobain is about a depressed person who is basically on his death bed because of it.
Adrianna - Harrisburg, Pa
Jew from Gayville KY is awesome!!
Erin - Santa Cruz, Ca
The Live and Loud version is a drum tour de force, IMO, for Grohl. This song is also, IMO, the most obvious example of Kurt's mastery of lyrical duality.
Mark - Worcester, Mi
this song has many metaphors, just like any good song, but "i'm anemic royalty" could mean that drinking and doing drugs could thin the blood, leaving one anemic.
Joel2point0 - Nashville, Tn
During Unplugged's rehearsals, Pat suggested a change in chords (which made it better actually) and he was to sing second voice (which was also a screwup). Luckily, Kurt did it alone during the live performance!
Darkdread - Magallanes, Chile
I feel this song is about more than one thing, rather than something specific, like most of Kurt's lyrics are. The main part, pennyroyal tea, is a metaphor. It IS literally a substance that could be used for abortion. But I think he is focusing the abortion more on himself, rather than through the eyes of an unborn fetus. Especially since high doses can cause death. It definitely has a lot to do with his heroin use. And about depression. Also, all of his lyrics are based upon his own life experience, so the bad posture part...well all of the song can be directly related to Kurt. Leonard Cohen is a poet/musician who wrote very deep and thoughtful lyrics, that also consisted on topics of isolation, and some other pretty depressing stuff. He wrote "Hallelujah"! Possibly, "Pennyroyal Tea" was written because Kurt didn't want to pass his seed into another life to fall in his steps. Or...it's about abortion...
Dustin - West Monroe, La
Laura, from weymouth, MA sorry but you must not know anything about kurt, he was a avid supporter of the pro-choice movement. The fact that you think this song was written from the perspective of the fetus being killed proves you are a retard and should not be posting comments on songs you know nothing about. he believed that the fetus came alive when it began to breath, just like it says in the bible. "then God breathed the breath of life into man"
Jew - Gayville, Ky
Well, you know from the song 'Drain You,' and the album title, 'In Utero' that Kurt always had a fascination with the unborn. I know pennyroyal is a way to induce abortions. I always thought he was singing from the point of view of the unborn fetus to the pregnant mother who is trying to kill him, not just with pennyroyal, but laxatives and whatever Leonard Cohen 'Afterworlds' are also. From this perspective, the rest of the lyrics don't make much sense, but the sound and the mood of the song fits.
Laura - Weymouth, Ma
I have always had a connection to this song.
Cobain had recurring themes in his songs (poetry) -- self esteem, escapism, dealing with success, intense relationships, vicious circles, to name a few.
Pennyroyal Tea is a purgative which when taken to excess can cause an abortion. He probably wrote this in response to a girlfriend getting pregnant (maybe Courtney Love) and either getting or considering an abortion. He probably also considered suicide many times, a "self abortion". This kind of circular reference was typical to his songs. Just as he could juxtapose himself with other people he was both on the giving and receiving end of his emotions.
Pennyroyal Tea also cleanses and purifies, another theme, I think he often wished he could be purified, either by kicking his drug habits, or by dying, the ultimate purification.
He had chronic pain and drug conditions and probably knew at some level that they all fed into each other causing a self-reinforcing cycle -- he took drugs which caused stomach problems which caused him to take drugs that caused him pain that caused him to take drugs... and his lyrics are often circular as a result.
He had low self esteem and often countered any positive images with self-detrimental comments, "anemic royalty" perhaps relating the fact that while he was royalty in terms of being a rock and roll star, he was anemic, as in weak and insecure.
The song is very autobiographical and metaphorical. RIP Cobain, I'm still kind of pissed that you snuffed yourself just as you were getting really good.
Randy - Mclean, Va
there is no difference in the "In Utero" and "Nirvana" versions. I think this song is greatly depressing but great it is about killing yourself and knowing it ugly but beautiful.
Chris - Ontario, Canada
It's "Still the life that's inside of me". Not "Steal". Not "Distill". Pennyroyal Tea is an abortifacient. The image of a foetus appears throughout the album's imagery and packaging e.g. in the original artwork back cover (a collage he made himself) and in Anton Corbijn's directors-cut video for "Heart Shaped Box".
And this commercial:
Noneofyerbusiness - Seattle, Wa
Kurt had severe stomach ulcers, and it's well known that he turned to heroin when no other pain relievers worked for him. (A friend of mine has the same medical condition, though I can't remember what it's called, and all through college, his doctor was prescribing vicodin, which he would generally take 2 a day just to cope with the pain).
Thus the line, "I'm on warm milk and laxitives, cherry-flavored antacids" -- warm milk and antacids are common home remedies to relieving ulcer pain. The "laxitives" are referenced because, when someone is trying to give up heroin (which Kurt was, as evidenced by the fact that he checked himself into rehab shortly before his death), they get very constipated.
Ryan - Eaton, In
"Distill the life that's inside of me" - He wants to cleanse his life and start fresh. (thanks, lucy - ottawa, Canada)
Pennyroyal Tea can induce an abortion... why dosnt that make sense to 'Lucy'?
George - No City, Australia
i think the word "tired" here implies Kurt's boredom of his trouble. so he can't sleep soundly...
Defri - Samarinda, Indonesia
Anemia is low iron levels. Anemics shouldn't drink tea because it dissolves these levels. Low iron makes you tired."I'm so tired i cant sleep."
You can also have black or bloody stools depending on how severe it is and medications can cause severe constipation. This song is about Anemia.
Patrick - Toronto, Canada
This song always reminded me about anorexia.
Anemic, laxitives, drinking lots of tea, bad posture.
Nadia - New York, Ny
"Distil the life inside of me"- Could this be about Kurt's stomach condition? He said the pain was so bad he wanted to kill himself. Distil means to water down, the pain got so bad he didn't want to feel human or real any more, painkillers, heroin, opium.
:( poor kurt...
Aleah - New Kensington, Sc
this song is brilliant for me it sums up feelings of boredom depression loneliness and the need for absolution
Joe - Perth, Australia
hey, just listen to me if you want to know why Kurt had stomach problems. once again, go make a stop by wal-mart and buy the dvd from Classic Albums Nirvana: Nevermind. that will answer your questions about how he had stomach problems. it had nothing to do with his nerves or DXM. and to Chris from Libertyville, you need to do a bit more (no scratch that) a whole lot more looking into Nirvana before just blurtin' out crap before you think.
Pyro017 - Bfe, Tn
jeez...don't get all scientific over such an incredible beautiful song--with an equally beautiful solo
Echo - Normalville, Ma
I'm pretty sure i read that his stomach thing was diagnosed officially after his death as a nerve problem. With all the money he had and all the doctors he saw, you'd think they would have known if it was something to do with dxm. so i highly doubt that was the cause for it. everyone acts as if he was on the road and addicted to heroin for such a long time, in reality the band was only big for like 3 years(while he was alive that is) and he claimed he never started using heroin before. its peanuts compared to Kurts battle with bipolar, witch is what basically killed him(directly or indirectly depending on your opinion).
Rory - Winnipeg, Canada
to all you who think kurt had stoach problems from DXM (which you say is from robutussium), you are way off base dude. he had stomach problems for the simple fact that he did't sing from his diaphram he sung from his stomach. so do yourself a favor and go buy yourself their documentary from classic albums. it tells you about how and why he "kills" his voice if i'm not mistaken. the dvd can be found at just about any wal-mart. it has the nevermind album cover on it.
Jeffrey - Mcewen, Tn
somebody said he sang leonard nimoy afterworld????? was it not leonard choen afterworld, in his song bird on a wire, he sang ...
'like a baby still born like a beast with its horn i have torn everyone who reached out for me' i.e, a child miscarriaged or abortion....
Ray - Co.wicklow, Ireland
Whats with this crap about DXM addiction on Nirvana song pages? I call into serious question what Chris from Libertyville says.
Arm - Somewher, United States
Well, pennyroyal is a plant that when digested can act as a natural abortion. When i heard this i looked into the dates of the first recordings of this song....and they were when Courtney Love was pregnant. Which explains alot of the lyrics. For instance, the bad posture referance is to a pregnant womans posture. And, the anemic royalty lyric pretty much reflects pregnant woman who are many times anemic. Im guessing the my time with everyone may have to do with being "late".
Not to mention the lyrics that say Sit and drink pennyroyal tea(Natural abortion drug).Distill (or seporate)the life thats inside of me. WEll im sure i could write more but not now.
Alex - Sebastian, Fl
I think the song is an attack on abortion in some ways. The "anemic royalty" line seems to mean that Cobain thinks women who try to abort pregnancies through poison feel that they can do whatever they want, like royalty. The line "I'm on my time with everyone" also supports the perceived superiority of the person Cobain speaks about. Also, anemia is a side effect of high doses of pennyroyal tea, which explains why he calls them "anemic royalty." To me, "Pennyoryal Tea" is about a woman who doesn't care about anything but herself, and will do anything to make sure her selfish needs are fulfilled.
Robert - San Jose, Ca
A remixed version of Pennyroyal Tea was supposed to be the third single from the album In Utero. However it was taken off the shelves early because Kurt Cobain had just died. Exactly why the record company did this is unkown, one theory is because the b-side was 'I Hate Myself and Want to Die'.
Anyway only a few hundred copies were sold before they were taken away an melted down. Real copies sell for about £500.00 + each now.

Scoliosis is not caused by bad posture. Bad posture is a result of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a genetic disorder. If it were caused by bad posture, we'd all be screwed, but this is a great song, nonetheless.
Max - Austin, Tx
I think all comments except Harry from London's should be deleted.

The stomach pains came from his addiction to a drug called DXM. he always had a bottle of robbotussin which contained the drug. and the drug comes along with SERIOUS agonizing pain in the stomach because it deteriorates the kidneys and liver. He tried to soothe the pains with heroine. when that stopped working he used other methods, "I'm on warm milk and laxitives. Cherry flavored ant-acids"
Chris - Libertyville, Il
Okay, to all of you morons who say there is no difference in the "In Utero" and "Nirvana" versions, I would reccomend that you actually listen to the songs. There are quite a few not-so-subtle differences, and anyone with half of an ear can hear them.
Chris - Boynton Beach, Fl
During the European In Utero tour, Kurt sang, "Give me a Leonard Nimoy afterworld"

Large amounts of penny royal is fatal. You die from haemophillia, the same way as rat poison. When he talks about "anemic royality", he is referring to anemic problem caused by the hemmoragic blood pressure decrease. "Blood loss can also cause anemia - whether it's because of excessive bleeding due to injury, surgery, or a problem with the blood's clotting mechanism" (due the effect of penny royal tea)(Webster's New World Medical Dictionary). Eventually, a person actually dies of hypovelmic hypoperfusion. So "distill the life inside of me" is referring to killing himself. Weak penny royal tea was used pre 1900's as a method for abortion. The rest of the song is easy to figure out those facts have been established.
Harry - New York , Ny
the version in in utero kurt didnt like..he wanted the version which is on "nirvana". the remix by scott litt was the version kurt wanted on the album..i agree its alot better
Ant - Cardiff, Wales
I think the Pennyroyal Tea/penny royalty seem s like a very Kurt Cobain play on words. The song, to me a least, seems to refer to his place as a king to all his followers the drinking tea imagry seems to fit "distill the life thats inside of me" could refer to his puring out his soul into his music and it being processed and sold to the masses so that it cheapens his being, its just speculation but if you read the lyrics with this perception you could probably come to the same conclusion
Jeff - Edmonton, Al
I think this song is about Kurt Cobain telling people that he's not cool or great or someone different and special...he's just like everyone. he says that he does things like a normal person...being on "cherry flavored antacids and warm milk and laxatives"...and how he's on a herbal medication called pennyroyal tea.
Savio - Toronto, Canada
The version on the greatest hits is a little different. In the In Utero version, you can hear Kurt clearing his throat right before strumming the opening chords. That is not heard on the greatest hits. Also, if you listen, the greatest hits seems to be a little bit more overdubbed to hide the really raw effects used on some songs on In Utero.
Matt - Millbrae, Ca
Pennyroyal is a drug used to induce abortions in pregnant women. Cobain said that he knew girls who had thought that they were pregnant and drank pennyroyal tea to abort the baby, and that this was the inspiration for the song. ("Distill the life that's inside of me")
Jeanette - New Milford, Ct
Thanks, Hayden!! Sometimes I hate it that Engelish isn't my native language... On the other hand: I'm quite flexible with Dutch;-). It's just that I think I miss certain things, ambiguity's, sometimes in lyrics, and my bad luck is that I prefer English and American bands to Dutch. So I'm very greatfull for your explanation.
Tanya - Rotterdam, Netherlands
umm I belive the part about being "anemic royalty" is an attack on kurt's family. The most likley insult from this phrase has to do with inbreeding. Alot of royals inbreed. One result of inbreeding is anemia another is scoliosis. It's a play on words anemic royalty, refferring to his anemia due to his family's inbreeding.
Hayden - Hollywood, Ca
I can't figure out what is meant by "anemic royalty". Can anyone explain please? Thanks.
Tanya - Rotterdam, Netherlands
Ok, Kurt was amazing, but his lyrics were really hard to understand unless you looked very deep into them
P.S This song is amazing
Gabriel Maclean - Toronto, Canada
Quintessential Nirvana. Enough said.
Matt - Millbrae, Ca
um, well, i say! you surely seem to know alot about kurt. I have never met him, so of course, i do not quote those who do, i just am waiting for justice.I hope he is in a heaven, and will let me in as well.Jesus does not compare.
Clementine - Tucson, Az
hello,yes kurt is sad but he makes me happy,and I do not care for rumours or guesses,but Nirvana and justice.Suicide,murder,we will never know truly.see you later, and that is that i suppose.
Clementine - Tucson, Az
This song refers to Kurt's problems with acid reflux (his well-documented stomach problem). Pennyroyal tea is a herbal remedy to releive stomach pains. This is one of the reasons that he took heroin to stop the pain caused by acid reflux. The lines refering to bad posture are especially important as acid reflux is made worse by slouching an "bad posture". On the Unplugged in NYC album you can clearly hear him clearing his throat and afterwards he mentioned how his stomach was especially bad and made his voice sound raspy and hoarse.
Harry - London, England
the laxitives and antiacids helped w/ his stomach pians, which were proven to be caused by a pinched nerve. he did not take penyroyal tea to help ease the pain of this. his bad pousture was not that he was skinny this he expained and then said that the jocks wanted him around, if he was so small i want that explained. there was no remix!!! it is the same song. the comment of heroin being penyroyal tea is correct. and choen was a firm believer in buddshim.
Tourette - Aberdeen, Wa
the scoliosis pinched a nerve and thats what caused the stomach problem, and this song is what it is basically about how he had to take all this medication and s**t to kepp him from vomiting but it never worked, howeber one drug did work, but it was also his demise from that addiction from that drug
Jimi - Stamford, Ct
there is no difference between the version on in utero and the greatest hits cd. they are exactly alike
Billy Ross - Hagerstown, Md
Scoliosis does not cause stomache problems. His mom also had stomache problems without reason. Kurt's scoliosis was really bad due to his playing guitar.
Edwin - Costa Mesa, Ca
It is not known what causes osteoperosis, but it is linked to such things as magnesium deficiency, low estrogen levels (in women), and osteoperosis, among other things, and generally starts to appear during puberty. It is most certainly not caused by bad posture.
Sarah - Salem, Ma
Try reading something before speaking guys and gals.
Just a suggestion.
Zak - Nekoosa, Wi
The reference of bad posture most likely comes from the fact that he had real bad scoliosis (sp?) which is caused by bad posture. The scoliosis also caused he stomach problem. The scoliosis caused him to have a pinched nerve in his stomach which caused the pain.
Kyle - Niantic, Ct
Errr, he had scoliosis (sp?) which is when your spine is all crooked and is caused by bad posture. That scoliosis caused his stomach problem not bad eating habits
Kyle - Niantic, Ct
Mike, the Cohen reference is Cobain referring to Cohen?s commitment to Buddhism in that last decade and his reputation as a dedicated and successful womanizer. If you don't understand, just think about it a bit.
Brad - St. Charles, Mo
What is the reference about Lenard Cohen about? I can't ffigure it out.
dont try to email me cause its not right so just post your response
Mike - Boston, Ma
Kurt Cobain had a stomach problem caused by stress and bad eating habits on the road (quoted)
and an irritated bowel, this is the reasoning for the mentioning of laxatives and antacids.
Jo - Aberdeen, Wv
The remix is featured on their greatest hits CD.
Aidan - Boston, Ma
Why does he cough at the begining of the song?
Jacqui - Bedford, Va
Yea, no one ever mentions that Unplugged was the only nirvana album to get a grammy. sad huh?
Kelly - Houston, Tx
Sometimes songs are written with meaning, sometimes it can be taken differently. Maybe Kurt wrote it with a hidden meaning that he wants the current life he lived to be cleaned out so that it could start again, because the world he lived in was not the one he wanted. When you sit and think about it he makes comments on clearing it out by different means, and the effect's of what not clearing it has done to him. "distill","antacids","laxatives".
Jay - Toronto, Canada
I agree with the few true Nirvana fans..about this great track....actually all of the meanings from Abortion, and stomach problems are true...but what was not added was that this song is all bout Kurt's insecurities of being skinny...he was always made fun of--because of that..."i have really bad posture"...(hence)
Vick- n.y.
Vick - Hicksville, Ny
anemic royaly- the word "anemic" can also mean weak, instead of having to do with disease
Austin - Holly, Mi
"I'm anemic royalty"
Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia. Due to marriages between the nobles of various european countries, the royalty of Europe was plagued with the disease for many years. Probably the most well known royal hemophiliac was Alexei (brother of the famed Anastasia) who was the son of the last russian tsar. Tea is often associated with Europe (England in particular). Although I doubt the lyric has any deep meaning, it struck me as particularly clever.
Peter - Crappy Place To Live, Wi
The song is also said to have a hidden meaning (or two meanings). Kurt also used heroin to help him get through the times when his stomach pain was too much to handle, and could've nicknamed heroin as 'pennyroyal tea'.
kickass song, none the less.
Travis - Dakota City, Ne
In the book of his journal, it said next to the title herbal abortions don't work you hippie!
Marri - St.cloud, Mn
the song was remixed for the best of Nirvana album, it sounds a lot better then the one on In Utero
Scott - Bismarck, Nd
This song is written about his stomach problems. He drank the tea to calm his stomach and in the lyrics, he mentions the use of laxitives and "cherry flavored antacids."
Erik - Davis, Ca
The album also won a grammy i believe.. and a couple of VMAs
Rachel - Dearborn Heights, Mi

Have y'all signed up for Ravelry yet?
If not, sign up - it's phenomenal. You can organize your stash, your WIPs (and UFOs!), books, needles, all that. And, there's KALs and groups, oh my!
It is nice to know that there are people out there who have more yarn than me - this is also comforting for my mate, in a strange it-could-be-worse kind of way.
(I've always known they existed, I just had yet to meet them.)

Well, the site's still in beta right now, but the creators have quit their jobs to work full time on the site.
As of a couple of days ago, there were 9,802 people on the waiting list. (there are over 4,000 already on the site "beta" testing.) I would think they should be ready to go live soon, though. I think they may just be trying to get through some of the backlog of the queue, so those 10,000 don't all try to get in at once. They let a couple of hundred in every day.

We are seeking proven male descendants of the Hillhouse Family of Scotland and Northern Ireland and James Hilhouse of Bristol with the last name of Hillhouse/Hilhouse interested in DNA testing to link members of this Hillhouse family to descendants of William Hillhouse of Province South Carolina (died 1778) and Samuel Hillhouse of North Carolina (died 1782).
Resent DNA testing between proven male descendants of Rev. James Hillhouse and William & Samuel Hillhouse has proven these are two distinctive Hillhouse lines and not related as direct male descendants (more probably they may be connected through female descendants).

Steamboat Springs More than 90 senior citizens from across Routt County gathered Friday for live music and strawberry shortcake at the Steamboat Springs Community Center.
The occasion was the annual Spring Fling. However, there was a little extra buzz in the air the day after a decision by the Steamboat Springs School Board increased the likelihood the seniors will get a new community center where they want it.
Several seniors acknowledged they were in a mood to celebrate the decision, which means the city of Steamboat Springs won't be remodeling the George P. Sauer Human Services Center to create a new community center. Most seniors advocate for a new center at the Stock Bridge Transit Center.
Glen Cox said the four lunches served every week at the community center mean a great deal to him.
"It's important not just in my life, but also in the lives of so many others," Cox said. "I want to thank Shelley Orrell (program director of the Routt County Council on Aging) and all the cooks for the effort they put in every day down here."
Cox said he's happy with the current community center but that he would enjoy the scenery along the Yampa River near Stock Bridge.
"If the center goes to Stock Bridge, that will give me a chance to walk out there," he said.
Council on Aging board member Jean Davidson said the social interaction provided by the lunch program is important to the emotional well-being of many seniors.
"Some people sit in their apartments -- they're lonely, they're bored," she said. "There is no reason to be bored. Thanks to the county, we have three seniors vans to take people shopping and to medical appointments."
Davidson, 91, said she can't make all four weekly luncheons because she does chores with her daughter.
Davidson said the community center is much more than a place to eat lunch and play bingo on Fridays. Once a month, the seniors get counseling and help with issues such as vision, foot care and overall wellness, she said.
Council on Aging board member Bobbie Vetter said Orrell has been proactive in helping Routt County seniors evaluate and sign up for one of the new Medicare prescription drug campaigns. Orrell said that of just more than 9,000 seniors in Routt County, more than 8,500 are on a prescription plan, whether it's one of the new Medicare plans or another program.
Friday's occasion was made more festive by fresh floral arrangements placed on every table by the Yampa and Hayden chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star. Sharon Sexton did the floral arranging. Live music was provided by Country Western singer Katie Louthan and the Sweet Adelines group.

Thallium is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Tl and atomic number 81.
This soft gray malleable poor metal resembles tin but discolors when exposed to air.
Thallium is highly toxic and is used in rat poisons and insecticides but since it might also cause cancer (although the EPA does not class it as carcinogen), this use has been cut back or eliminated in many countries.
It is also used in infrared detectors.

The Mystery of the Yellow Room HTML version
Chapter 26
In Which Joseph Rouletabille Is Awaited with Impatience
On the 15th of January, that is to say, two months and a half after the tragic events I have
narrated, the "Epoque" printed, as the first column of the front page, the following
sensational article: "The Seine-et-Oise jury is summoned to-day to give its verdict on one
of the most mysterious affairs in the annals of crime. There never has been a case with so
many obscure, incomprehensible, and inexplicable points. And yet the prosecution has
not hesitated to put into the prisoner's dock a man who is respected, esteemed, and loved
by all who knew him--a young savant, the hope of French science, whose whole life has
been devoted to knowledge and truth. When Paris heard of Monsieur Robert Darzac's
arrest a unanimous cry of protest arose from all sides. The whole Sorbonne, disgraced by
this act of the examining magistrate, asserted its belief in the innocence of Mademoiselle
Stangerson's fiance. Monsieur Stangerson was loud in his denunciation of this
miscarriage of justice. There is no doubt in the mind of anybody that could the victim
speak she would claim from the jurors of Seine-et-Oise the man she wishes to make her
husband and whom the prosecution would send to the scaffold. It is to be hoped that
Mademoiselle Stangerson will shortly recover her reason, which has been temporarily
unhinged by the horrible mystery at the Glandier. The question before the jury is the one
we propose to deal with this very day.
"We have decided not to permit twelve worthy men to commit a disgraceful miscarriage
of justice. We confess that the remarkable coincidences, the many convicting evidences,
and the inexplicable silence on the part of the accused, as well as a total absence of any
evidence for an alibi, were enough to warrant the bench of judges in assuming that in this
man alone was centered the truth of the affair. The evidences are, in appearance, so
overwhelming against Monsieur Robert Darzac that a detective so well informed, so
intelligent, and generally so successful, as Monsieur Frederic Larsan, may be excused for
having been misled by them. Up to now everything has gone against Monsieur Robert
Darzac in the magisterial inquiry. To-day, however, we are going to defend him before
the jury, and we are going to bring to the witness stand a light that will illumine the
whole mystery of the Glandier. For we possess the truth.
"If we have not spoken sooner, it is because the interests of certain parties in the case
demand that we should take that course. Our readers may remember the unsigned reports
we published relating to the 'Left foot of the Rue Oberkampf,' at the time of the famous
robbery of the Credit Universel, and the famous case of the 'Gold Ingots of the Mint.' In
both those cases we were able to discover the truth long before even the excellent
ingenuity of Frederic Larsan had been able to unravel it. These reports were written by
our youngest reporter, Joseph Rouletabille, a youth of eighteen, whose fame to-morrow
will be world-wide. When attention was first drawn to the Glandier case, our youthful
reporter was on the spot and installed in the chateau, when every other representative of
the press had been denied admission. He worked side by side with Frederic Larsan. He
was amazed and terrified at the grave mistake the celebrated detective was about to make,
