THE LECTURE SEASON. Catholic Library Association—Lecture by Dr. Silliman Ives—"Catholic Rome the Patroness of Knowledge" (The Brooklyn Eagle, November 2, 1860, p. 2)
A lecture was delivered last evening at the Brooklyn Institute under the patronage of the Catholic Library Association. The lecturer of the evening was the Dr. Silliman Ives, who was formerly Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina and whose resignation and adoption of the doctrines of the Church of Rome has excited considerable discussion in the religious world. The audience was not numerous. Mr. John O'Mahoney, the President of the Association, introduced the lecturer who is a tall, sharp-featured intellectual looking gentleman pretty far advanced in life. The title of the lecture was announced to be "Catholic Rome the Patroness of Knowledge" and of the manner the subject was treated the following report will probably give a fair idea. The lecturer said:
Facts are always better than assertions; when Socrates was accused, he brought forward his works in his defence. When Rome is traduced we bring forth her works in her behalf, and adduce in her defence the facts of her history. The difficulty here is, however, not in bringing forward the facts, but in getting them before the people and inducing them to calmly give them their attention. People who have been brought up from childhood to hear but one side are not to be expected, without great reluctance, to take up new argument and give it the fair judgment which it demands. The idea appears little less then sacrilegious; for it is an interference with the faith of our fathers, an intrusion as it were into their sepulchre, even in a measure sitting in judgment on their future state. He could well remember the effect it has on himself—how it changed, yea how it shook his belief in almost everything—when he found that the best part of his mental life, its settled principles, its inspiring motives of action were nothing more than illusions of an empty dream. Well did he remember what a long struggle it cost him and before he could freely and calmly consider the facts and history of the Catholic Church, and deeply did he sympathize with those whom reason, honor and justice call to the same painful task; but painful as it may be, it is a duty that cannot be disregarded. He believed there is a sense of justice in the American mind that would secure for the Catholic people a hearing. The Catholic with hand on heart protests before his countrymen that he is innocent of that with which he is charged, he would not believe that the facts they bring before their countrymen will not be heard; he would not believe that intolerance was yet sufficient or bigotry powerful enough to condemn them before the facts they bring forward were heard. In the belief that a fair hearing would be given the facts he was about to present were given. In almost every speech that is delivered, in almost every periodical which is published it is charged on Christian Rome—or on the Catholic Church which Christian Rome represents—that she is hostile to all progress and improvement; that it is her settled policy to keep her people in degradation, for that on this the preservation and perpetuity of her power depends. In answering this charge it was not his purpose to show that Catholic Rome has been in favor of the indiscriminate diffusion of knowledge, for we maintain with perfect consciousness of its truth that it is the duty of whoever is invested with the office of supreme pastor to guard his flock from impure literature and from science that is falsely so called. And the Holy Father manifests hostility to dangerous error or to the too early diffusion of truths that would not tend to keep men in obedience to the will of God. Again he desired it to be observed that he was not defending the conduct of ecclesiastics who might have opposed advancement—though his reading during a long life has not furnished him with many examples—but what the church in its compact character as a church had done. He did not maintain that the Church had been uniformly successful in disseminating learning, or that in all times in her history there has been equal intellectual advancement, but the Catholic Church has always been in advance of the age in the dissemination and encouragement of sound literature and real science. The lecturer went on to show that the motives of the Catholic Church could be best learned from her early history, as in that period she had most control over science and literature, and most power to advance or retard their progress. He went back to the time of Pope Gregory the first, called the Great, who lived in the very heart of the so called dark ages, and who is charged with a particular zeal for the advancement of Catholic truth and the enlargement of Catholic power. It is charged against that he forbade the reading of the heathen poets in the schools; but it was because of their obscenity, and because he thought it would corrupt the minds of the youth whom the Church was leading from heathenism to Christianity. The question here was not whether learning was good; that was not disputed; but the question was whether the means of acquiring it were good. It was not a political question; the pontiff gave his counsels as a father would to his children. The acts of his life was a better testimony than a few and uncertain casual remarks in his writings. All testimony on the point is that Gregory was himself one of the most learned men of his age; he raised the standard of learning at Rome; he built palaces for the education of the missionaries he sent to other lands, and obliged them to carry libraries with them for the dissemination of the knowledge they had acquired. St. Augustine and his brethren brought them into Britain, and Protestants can't deny that to the manuscripts they brought, we are indebted for the learning that succeeded them. When Christianity emerged from the Catacombs into the world, she became at once the disseminator and teacher of knowledge. When the first missionary was sent to Ireland in the seventh century, under St. Patrick, it had not been established long when the Catholic Church sprung up, and what is more to our present purpose, Catholic Colleges spring up alongside them, and their fame so extended, that professors in those Irish colleges were preferred as teachers in the colleges of Germany, France and Italy. During the same period when the apostate Julian, in his enmity closed the public schools of Rome, it was a standing cause of complaint with the Catholic Church. Catholic schools existed in Rome as early as the time of St. Augustine, for it is known that he left his native city to prosecute his education there.
In the year of 440 in the pontificate of St. Leo numbers of public schools existed in the holy city—and throughout Italy; in Spain schools were established in the house of every parish priest, and the reason for it was given that this salutary practice prevailed in Italy. He mentioned the Venerable Bede in England and hardly less venerated Alfred, and alluded to the colleges then established, and gave the authority of the Protestant historian Hallam for the fact that in those early times were established those universities from which sprung the learning of which England now boasts. When in the 9th century in schools of Europe were overturned the prelates of France and Germany assembled at Tours and besought the rulers to restore to their people the schools that had been destroyed, all showing that the Church believes her success is best served by enlightenment and not by ignorance. In those times it is well known that the secular powers were hostile to the diffusion of knowledge and the nobles were engaged in noble sports and pastimes; if ignorance favored the policy of the Church she had nothing to do but let things take their natural course, instead of exerting every effort to promote knowledge among her children. She believes that under God the advancement of knowledge is one of the best means of securing the perpetuity. He was aware that it had been urged that the schools were established for the use of the ecclesiastics and that all studies were carried on in the Latin language. He quoted from Sisamonde, who shows that there was nothing singular in this for Latin was the language of religion, it was the language of learning and had been so generally disseminated that the songs of the soldiers were sung in it, through France, Germany and Italy, and the Venerable Bede states that learning was so generally diffused that our Saxon forefathers were as familiar with the Greek and Latin as with their native tongue, showing that Latin was not alone the language of the schools but the language of the people. He next defended the early literature of the Church from the charge that it was not polluted by romance and fable. The charge he believed emanated not from any objection to the admixture of the romantic but because it brings before the minds of this material age that which is eternal and supernatural and from which in those times men would gladly turn away. The legends of the saints he said taught lessons of self denial, self abnegation, noble devotion, glorious achievement. To the charge that a knowledge of the holy scripture was held from the people he answered that it could not before the invention of printing be as generally as disseminated as now, but the Bible was unceasingly copied in manuscript and in every place of learning a copy was placed accessible to all. When social disturbance brought mental night over Europe, the Monks multiplied the scriptures, to be disseminated again in quieter times. He alluded to the labor and the learning of St. Benedict and St. Dominick whose followers spread over Europe reclaiming her deserted fields and rekindling the desire for knowledge. They labored to rescue from the past its learning, its literature and science, on which the advancement of the present is based. They published hundreds of volumes of the ancient classics, they established colleges at Paris, Oxford, and Cologne, and Protestant Gibbon has declared that in those times in a single monastery more literary and scientific works were produced than at both of the English universities. A century later when more formidable combatants were contending for the prize of knowledge the list was entered by the noble, the magnanimous Society of Jesus. (Applause.) What weapons did they use in their defence? Did they call ignorance to their aid? Did they claim to be heard because they spoke by inspiration? Look at the list of learned men in their order, the colleges they established, the monuments of learning they left behind them, their system of instruction which everywhere prevailed—winning largesses from Kings and smiling benedictions from Popes. The lecturer rapidly glanced at the age of Leo X, and then came down to later times, quoting from Protestant writers in support of his own views, that nowhere was useful knowledge more generally diffused than in Catholic countries. He referred to the work of a Presbyterian clergyman named Lane, and recommended the editors of New York papers read his volume before writing their daily abuse of Catholic Rome, which abuse, Mr. Lane says must arise from either malice or stupidity. The lecturer named the great men that Rome herself had produced, summed up the imperial monuments of art and genius in the holy city, and adduced the library of the Vatican, with its thousands of M.S. and its 1,000,000 volumes, laboriously collected through so many ages, as proof that learning had always in Catholic Rome a conservator and patron. In Rome to-day there are no less than ten universities for the instruction of the native Italians and 10 for the education of foreigners; in all there are twenty-one, while in New York City where there is five times the population, there are three little colleges and two universities so called. He said that in the public schools of the Imperial City there were now 28,890 students. Are all these he asked the monument of Papal zeal on behalf of ignorance? He referred again to the fact that the pontiff had opposed the indiscriminate diffusion of knowledge for the Church; he believes all knowledge should be subservient to the truth of God. He pointed out the pernicious doctrine which had been disseminated among the Albighenses who, he said, were taught to reject marriage, despise chastity and believe in a community of goods and other socialistic theories. And to the followers of Wickliffe, among whom were disseminated doctrines equally dangerous. It was the duty of the head of the Church to forbid such knowledge as this and he did, but the Church he had shown had ever been the friend and promoter of sound learning and true science, and it was the duty of every son of the Church to advance both, for we believe that in their advancement is advanced the true and most sacred interests of the Church. The lecturer continued at some further length, and concluded amid the manifestations of approbation from the audience.
NOTE: Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867) was born in New England, became an Episcopal priest in New York, and at age 34 was named Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina, a highly prestigious position in the Antebellum South. In 1852, he left the ministry when he converted to Roman Catholicism and moved to New York City's Manhattanville section as a layperson. There he taught rhetoric (speech) at local colleges, including St. John's College (now Fordham University). He also worked in charitable endeavors, especially with orphans until his death on October 14, 1867. Throughout this period, he was a frequent lecturer to popular audiences like the speech cited above.

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone had made or knows of a tutorial series, preferably video although written is fine, that takes you through the process of coding a simple 3D level/map editor.
Not something that teaches you how to program while doing this, although if it does that's OK. Just a programmer to programmer, step-by-step, this is how you code a level editor sort of thing.
If you know of anything could you post a link? If you're itching for a video tutorial challenge, you may consider this a request.
Thank you!

The sophomore defensive assumed he was being mature and understanding when he told Fabris he planned to take his punishment like a man and move past it, but that wasn't what the coach was hoping to hear.
"He told me I've got to do more than that," Houston said. "He said I've got to work even harder than I was working, and that motivated me."
In spring practice, Houston was Georgia's lone healthy, experienced defensive end. Rather than rest on his laurels with a lack of competition, however, the sophomore had one of the most impressive months of practice of anyone on the team, drawing raves from his coaches and teammates.
Just a few weeks after the spring game, however, the news broke that Houston had violated team rules and earned a two-game suspension to start the season. It was heartbreaking news for Houston, but he vowed to stay focused and continue the progress he had made during the spring.
His offseason workouts were as impressive as the improvements he made during the spring. At the end of the summer, Houston was dominant in strength tests, leading all defensive ends with a 435-pound bench press, a 600-pound squat and a team-best 420-pound power clean that wowed his teammates.
"He worked his tail off this offseason, setting records in the weight room," said linebacker Rennie Curran, who was Houston's workout partner for much of the offseason. "He made a mistake, and he learned from it, and he's just ready to go. He's been doing great things in practice, and I'm ready to see that translate into the game."
Houston had taken Fabris' words to heart, and his efforts extended well beyond the weight room.
When fall camp opened, Houston was as enthusiastic as ever. He stayed late for extra conditioning. He came in during is off hours to work on fundamentals. His dedication never wavered.
"He's very, very hungry right now," Richt said. "He could not stand not being there. It was tough on him, but he handled it like you would hope a young man would. I'm proud of how he handled his discipline. Now he's fired up. The guys are happy for him, I'm happy for him. I think Georgia people should be happy for him."
If nothing else, Georgia's fans are thrilled at the timing of Houston's return.
Starting defensive end Rod Battle went down with a season-ending knee injury last week against South Carolina, adding to the long list of battered players at the position.
Houston will step in as the starter along with Demarcus Dobbs against Arkansas on Saturday, and he knows just how important a successful debut is to his team.
"Hopefully I can be the guy to get the pass rush and help the defensive end gets some rest," Houston said. "Right now, we're lacking at defensive end, so I'm hoping to help the team in many ways."
Richt said some players respond quickly after returning from a suspension, while others lag behind, taking several games to recover.
While it's impossible to predict how Houston will react, Richt said, his hard work since the suspension was announced is a good sign that he'll adjust quickly.
"He was really starting to assert himself and get comfortable, and he began to really play like you want a defensive end to play," Richt said. "He's beginning to reach his potential, just seeing signs of him maybe taking his game to another level, so you hope that he can regain that form, but it's hard to do right off the bat."
Houston isn't making any predictions either.
He knows he's put in the work, and he knows his team is counting on him, but for now, he's just excited to finally have a chance to get back to spending Saturdays on the field where he belongs.
"I feel like I'm ready," Houston said, "and Saturday we'll see."

For the past few weeks the hardware community has been busy pitting nVidia and ATi's latest graphics behemoths against each other. However, while enthusiasts are happy to debate the advantages of Pixel Shader 3 support over 3DC support or vice versa until they're blue in the face it's all fairly pointless if you can't actually buy the cards in question.
As of writing this article the situation is that cards based on the GeForce 6800 Ultra are still hard to get hold of. Equally ATi's competing card – the X800 XT Platinum Edition has yet to surface in retail. This isn't that surprising since many believe that this card only appeared as a last minute response to the threat of the 6800 Ultra. If this is true, it's likely that the delay is down to yield issues, due to ATi being forced to introduce its 16-pipeline GPU earlier than it would have liked.
This means that the choice for those looking to buy a top end graphics card is between a £400 16-pipeline GeForce 6800 Ultra and a £300 12-pipeline ATi X800 Pro card – not really a fair comparison.
However, for some enthusiasts with money to burn, the real deal breaker on the GeForce 6800 Ultra is not just the £400 asking price but also that fact that it takes up two slots in your PC (in reference design format). And while nVidia has lowered the power requirements from 480Watts to 350Watts for the Ultra you'll still need a higher rated power supply if you want to overclock it.
To address these issues nVidia has popped up with a new card to fill the gap - the GeForce 6800 GT. This card will only take up one slot in your PC enabling small form factor users to join the GeForce 6800 party. What's more, it only requires a single power connector so a standard 300W power supply should be sufficient.
As you can see in the pictures, the fan on the reference board is embedded in a relatively slender heat spreader that covers the GDDR3 RAM as well as the GPU. Noise levels from the fan, though difficult to judge in a lab with many machines going, were drowned out by the CPU and chipset fans. Unlike the dual-DVI connections on the 6800 Ultra, the reference GT board has one DVI and one D-SUB connector along with an S-Video out.
With street prices of retail boards already listed at lower than £300, this new 6800 part is set to heat things up for the ATi X800 Pro. To pile on the pressure, the GeForce GT has one key architectural advantage - it's a full 16-pipeline card, compared to the X800 Pro's 12 pipelines. The only differences to its bigger brother are lower clock speeds, with 350MHz for the GPU and 1,000MHz effective for the 256MB of memory. This gives it the edge over the X800 Pro on paper but as they say battles aren't won on paper. Ladies and gentleman, I think we have a fight on our hands.
Two machines were used for testing. The first is powered by a 3.2GHz Prescott Pentium 4 processor – a fast system but a step away from the cutting edge, which matches the 6800 GT nicely. However, in an attempt to avoid a CPU bottleneck situation, we also tested in a setup based on a Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition. To complicate matters though we also tested an X800 Pro with a 3.4GHz EE CPU a couple of weeks back, but this was part of the Evesham Evolution Extreme system, equipped with a fast 875 chipset motherboard and two Western Digital 10,000rpm Raptor drives. But, as this system had to be returned, the 3.4GHz Extreme Edition system used for the 6800 GT testing was more modest, consisting of an 865 chipset motherboard, and a 7,200rpm hard disk drive.

Full text not available from this repository.
A discussion of integrated transport policy and related issues. The inspiration for this work was provided by the Regulatory Policy Research Centre's seminar on "Integrated Transport Policy: Implications for Regulation and Competition" held at Hertford College, the University of Oxford, in September 1998. The book is based on papers presented at that seminar and on subsequent reflections. The introduction of the book is divided into two parts: the first provides an overview and the second traces the evolution of transport policy, particularly with respect to the United Kingdom but also with respect to developments in Europe and globally (particularly in the USA). The second part of the book focuses on the pricing of infrastructure. The third part examines the effectiveness of competition, and the fourth and final part examines the adequacy of the regulatory framework in the United Kingdom. The emphasis of the study is on passenger-based transport, particularly road and rail.

Holiday theme?
If you like the idea of having your own place, waking up to seeing the sun lighting the tips of the mountains, trying a different upmarket 'Blue Flag' sandy beach every day, or ski resorts, Nature reserves with 100 waterfalls, wild bears & wolves (in the mountains) boar and eagles, mountain biking in the mountains, fields of sunflowers or wild vivid red poppies, mountaineering, hitching a cable car to see the views, horse riding in the hills, driving up into the mountain plateaus for a BBQ, designer shopping, beautiful villages towns and historical cities, Italian beers, lovely local wines, liqueurs, real Cappuccino / espresso, water park, vineyards, a passion for inexpensive multiple course traditional Italian meals and local specialities, awesome Italian ice cream, lakes, watching the sun go down from the terrace with a glass of local wine, lovely genuine gentle honest people, and a complete chill out with lots of adventure, .............then it definitely is the place to be. There are no football Brit bars anywhere nor any tack tourist shops, burger vans etc etc .........The best thing about this area is the genuine warmth, spectacular views and events around the next corner you were not expecting........It is not uncommon for worldwide major Italian musical artists such as opera, to set up in a piazza for an event. Pescara hosts a huge Jazz festival recently headed by George Benson. Mid summer sees countless festivals on many different themes from food to wine, everything and anything that makes Italy the great place it is. Abruzzo was also chosen for filming a recent George Clooney film.
Easy access to motorway networks & numerous airports. The property sits just 300m above sea level and benefits from a great climate much of the year. It can sometimes be still warm enough for a T shirt in winter, yet snowy in the mountains. Winters can also be harsh on the other hand.
If you are planning larger parties we can suggest other high quality reasonably priced Villas, (some with swimming pools) apartments, B&B or superb hotels in the locality.
Further details
Rentals are normally on a weekly or fortnight basis but we are flexible to accommodate any request.
If you are thinking of a week at the Villa then 10 days is sometimes a good period in Italy which allows for a stay in other parts overnight such as Rome Venice or Florence. Longer lets can be arranged by separate negotiation.

Further details outdoors
Villa Abruzzo is a detached property affording total privicy yet not isolation. Access to the property via a quiet gentle gradient tarmac road. (Many in Italy are accessed by steep gravel roads) Ample parking facilities for several cars or bigger vehicles. Two Persimmon fruit trees sit either side of a bench to shelter from the sun outside. (Very sweet Fruit ripens to an orange red colour & tree loses all its leaves) There are a variety of herbs for use when cooking.
Short stroll to nearest excellent restaurant / bars (4) offering a variety of Italian cuisine at very realsitic prices. There are lots and lots of other great restaurants also exceptional value and quality.
In the village there is a large swimming pool, yet the pool at Abruzzo Incantato is quite close about a minute in the car. , a Wolf museum nearby, and all shops and amenities including bank, ATM, two supermarkets, bars, eateries and some great vans selling Porcetta (whole roasted pork) which is simply delicious.
There is an excellent bus service on the doorstep. The nearest major train route is either at Pescara or Teramo.
A car is essential really but driving is actually very tranquil and enjoyable. The local roads are generally very quiet all year round even in mid summer. However, in summer the coast is very busy with mainly Italian tourists, and the roads are busy at the coast at the start or end of Siesta time. Parking is generally very well catered for and more often than not free where you would expect to pay..There is a river nearby and a nature trail about 10k away
There are two very detailed guides at the Villa one about Abruzzo in general, and one specific to the immediate area with suggestions from tried and tested places to visit to good restaurants and vineyards, to where to buy the best fresh pasta made locally. Its packed with tips for how to get the best from your stay in the Villa and general area.
The villa is suitable for any disabilities but please call to discuss the layout.
Location description from owner
The Abruzzo region
The region of Abruzzo is 75% unspoilt National Park area. The countryside is perhaps best described as being like Tuscany except more dramatic and diverse with mountains and great beach resorts as an addition. Some people say it reminds them of Switzerland but with great beaches. It is said that may Italians particularly from Rome flock to the Abruzzo region mid summer to holiday. August is the busiest month which is well celebrated with Festa's occuring every night around the region in villages, towns and cities. Fireworks are used for any occasion possible and any visitor is very much treated as a local and welcomed to the area. Bisenti is the local village which proudly boasts as being the birthplace of Pontius Pilate. You are able to view his house and read all about it. (free) Everyone is respected in Abruzzo particularly children and there is a very quaint honest bygone charm about the region. Shopkeepers leave their keys in the door all day, teenagers are polite and well mannered, and the emphasis is on providing excellent quality everywhere from the supermarket, to the vineyard, restaurant, shoe shop, butchers or bread shop. A lost charm in the UK !! It's a very colourful region at different times of the year and Autumn and Spring are a particularly lovely time with all the vibrant emerging colours. The coastal areas are well established beach resorts many of which are lined with unusual shaped trees. It's perhaps best to think of Abruzzo in four parts, beach, countryside, lakes and mountains. There are several roads that hug the coast all the way down the 133km of beach and a railway line. Summers can be blistering hot and winters a lot milder than the Uk for example. It seems rather odd having the mountains this far south in a country surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the climate is therefore very different in the mountains. They seem to have their own microclimate and whilst it may be 70-80-90 degrees at the Villa, head to the mountains and it can change dramatically away from summer. A common cliché of skiing in the morning and sunbathing on the beach or swimming in the afternoon is actually quite true and they are only, an hour apart. A trip up the mountains is a must though. There are wild horses, stunning scenery, horned cows with bells, goats, sheep, and some huts offering Arrosticini & Italian sausage BBQ and refreshments, selling cheese and meats. There are some stunning villages / places to visit in the mountains. On the way is the hotel where Mussolini was held captive during the war. Beach resorts are too many to mention but the upmarket Pineto and Rosetto are to name two. Children are particulary well catered for at most beach establishments with lots of free activities. The large Ice cream and fine wines place in Pineto is a must. The walled towns of Penne and Atri cannot be missed and there is bound to be a festival of some kind in summer.
The mountain range has been described as the spine of Italy for obvious reasons. The nearest range is the Gran Sasso, but both this and the Majella range are easily accessible. Cable cars and chair lifts work in the summer also out of ski season so a great day out is up in the mountains. There is at least one maybe more places to hire mountain bikes for the energetic in the mountains. A great alternative to the road under the mountain is going over the top. Apparently you can see both coasts of the Mediterranean from up in the mountains at a certain place. There are some superb walks and mountain trails to walk, bike, or do on horseback.
On top of the mountains is a flat plateau with lakes and a glacier, and some great straight roads leading to superb villages such as Santo Stefano Di Sessantia which hosts the unusual and exceptional Sextantia hotel. (So named after a six mile trade run apparently). This was an very old medieval abandoned village until it was fairly recently restored to an exceptional high standard retaining all the old charm. Its a fantastic day out or overnight stay. There are some lovely small shops and some fantastic places to eat at very affordable prices mainly. The Sextantia offers the finest top end quality and is expensive. There is another superb value for money restaurant I can recommend around the corner. If you like spooky you'll love this village which won Italy's best kept village. The tower sustained some damage due to the 2009 earthquake but has been carefully restored. There's some great reasonable priced accommodation there, and some great little tourist shops.
There are superb villages coming down from the mountains such as Castelli famous for its ceramics which are sold in many local shops and around the world. Another would be Castel Del Monte, a picturesque mountain village. There are many many beautiful village's towns and cities in the region many worth visiting and steeped in history.
The city of Teramo has a historic centre and some great shops. There's an awful lot of history amongst the old buildings which I'm afraid as impressive and luring as I find them, I couldn't tell you any history behind them.
Some of the religious places are simply stunning even if that's not your scene you will be mightily impressed by the sheer size and quality of workmanship from a bygone age. The inside of the church in Bisenti for example is unbelieveable and totally unexpected. Abruzzo fortunately hasn't been ruined by rip off tourism prices and its a refreshing change not to pay Tuscany style prices. People are very gentle, warm, helpful, and honest with some great old fashioned values in life. You will get a very genuine feel for the real beautiful Italy here.
Like anywhere, you have to be there to feel the charm the area and people have to offer and photographs will never paint a true picture of the beauty of this region.

The nearest village is easy walking distance and very quaint with lovely houses, a bar where you can indulge in a lovely ice cream type coffee, or try the local favourite an expresso with sambuca. Theres also a lovely church if you manage to get past the bar. The village has an annual festival followed by some food and drinks which one guest reported with high praise as being the best night out he had ever had.
The next nearest bigger village is 3 mins drive with all shopping needs, chemist, 2 supermarkets, chocolate shop, shoe shop, bars eateries, bank with ATM outside, petrol station and many others. There is an annual wine festival held here which was so successful, they did it again the following night. Another 2 very scenic lovely hilltop villages are a similar distance away.
There are many other villages within easy reach, a vineyard, and countless restaurants. There are markets every day in different locations around the area. Some mornings a superb Porchetta and Pollo (chicken) van arrives, selling marinated roasted pork sandwiches (delicious) chicken and Italian hams. The local bars in the village serve great food ice cream, snacks and cakes and are a great place to chill and watch the world go by.
There are lots of festivals during the year although August is the main month for many. There are fireworks regularly and some village will be celebrating many different things. Abruzzo is famous for its food and it's rare to find anything less than excellent. There are countless coastal resorts to visit and a variety of routes to admire the scenery on the way. These include Pineto, Rosetto, Silvi, Pescara, Montesilvano San Benneditto Del Tronto etc etc.
If you like the occasional cigar, pay a visit to one of the tabacci shops in Bisenti, and get some Toscana anneside, grappa, chocolate or coffee cigars in that order. They are Amazing, and what Clint Eastwood used in the cowboy moview...

"Relaxing and beautiful views and people."
Probably the most relaxing holiday I've ever had. From the very beginning of planning and booking the holiday, to returning home I can't find a bad thing to say about the whole experience, except for having to leave. The owners were extremely helpful and their book of knowledge was very intuitive, without it we may have struggled to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and the vast array of things to do and see. The Villa was very well equipped and can cater for all groups, from small families to bigger groups of friends of all ages. A car is a must as getting about may prove difficult without one, otherwise most amenities are fairly close by. The San Lorenzo vineyard Is a must, the wine is exceptional, and at only 7 euros for 5ltrs is ridiculously cheap considering the quality. The pool at Abruzzo Incatato was definitely the family favourite, a short car drive away (5 mins approx) relatively inexpensive, the food was very high quality and the staff were lovely, in fact everyone we met were pleasant and patient considering our grasp of the Italian language was very limited. The whole area has a very relaxed way of life and if your looking for life in the fast lane you will be disappointed.
"A comfortable villa with stunning views from the enormous terrace."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Abruzzo, the village of Bisenti was a 5-10 minute drive away and had everything you need including a good supermarket, petrol station, chemist, bars and restaurants. We enjoyed days out in the nearby villages, a day at the beach and the time we just chilled out on the outdoor terrace drinking in the view and the local wine. There is a road runs past the front of the house but it certainly didn't bother us. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is very comfortable.
"Fantastic views from amazing terrace at well located villa"
Our family (with 3 primary school aged children) loved our stay at Villa Abruzzo in June 2012. The terrace is the outstanding feature of the Villa, and the view of the mountains is stunning. We had our breakfast on the terrace every morning and just couldn't drink in enough of that view. The terrace furniture is comfy and stylish, great for lounging around in, and the kids had a whale of a time on the hammock. The Villa is more spacious than it appears in the pictures, and we were pleasantly surprised that there was more than enough space for our family of five to spread out in. The Villa gives easy access to the coast, with the closest beaches around a 30-40 minute drive. We went to Pineto, Montesilvano and Pescara beaches a few times and enjoyed all of them. We also did a walk in the mountains, and our children were thrilled to climb high and find the source of a mountain stream that we had crossed earlier. We also liked visiting the beautiful towns of Atri and Penne. I must especially commend the service given by the owners. From the initial booking to even our time at the Villa, they were extremely helpful and provided us with all sorts of information and local knowledge. As Abruzzo is still a little off-the-beaten track, it was extremely helpful to have their help on hand. The information folder at the Villa is very helpful, and they sent us detailed directions for getting to the Villa and for driving to the coast which I am sure saved us a lot of time in terms of not getting lost! In all our years of booking self-catering accommodation, I have not come across owners who have been as helpful and who seem happy to go the extra mile in this way. There is lots to see and do in the area--certainly more than we could see in a week (and more restaurants than we could try out during that time!) We definitely want to come back!
"Superb Villa Abruzzo"
Summer 2011 We had a fantastic holiday and loved the house and Abruzzo in general. My daughter liked the play area at the Bagara restaurant, we went there about 5 times for lunch and also at night - cheap as chips and very nice. The swimming pool was also cheap and very good! The pool seemed to be doing pizza, chips and dessert and beer for 10 per head (maybe all you could eat/drink) but 2 pizzas and a Litre of wine instead of beer was enough for us - they did offer another pizza! We also carried out pizza and pasta from Nuovo - pasta - huge portion, pizzas huge and 8 euro for 2 - I thought she meant 18! We spent 4 days and a couple of nights at the pool in the second week and it was excellent. Got 2 T Bone steaks from the butcher which were also very good and 7 Euro! Loved the Provolone Picante cheese that you got us and got more at the butcher. Went up to Passe Lanciano and liked it - nice and cool and sat at the picnic tables up in the trees. Went to the market in Atri - liked it too. Overall it was a brilliant holiday - we really loved it. Throughout the whole process from booking the villa to leaving at the end of our stay, the owner and his local rep were very attentive and helpful. The owner is so knowledgeable about the region and you will always have somewhere to go. We are very widely travelled and this is the most beautiful place that we have ever visited - the villa is really lovely and very well equipped with stunning views. The tips on where to eat and shop saved us a fortune - there are very few places in Europe that you could get lunch for three for under 10 euro or a Cappucino and 3 ice creams in a street café for 4 euro! The kid's toys at the villa were a big help and everywhere is children friendly. We went to the beach, a ski resort, lakes, various hilltop towns and villages, markets etc. and there was so much more to see and do! I must recommend the pool which is 3 minutes away by car - it is open to the public and has a bar/restaurant, excellent facilities and superb and reasonably priced food. The staff speak good English and looked after us very well. Superb holdiday and cant wait to go back!

Disney to Create Four Series With Marvel Heroes for NetflixChristopher Palmeri and Nick Turner
Walt Disney Co. agreed to create four television series for Netflix Inc. using Marvel characters such as Daredevil, adding to the online-streaming service's growing lineup of original content.
Disney's Marvel TV will start bringing the shows to Netflix in 2015, according to a statement today. They will focus on heroes battling villains in New York's Hell's Kitchen. Netflix committed to a minimum of four 13-episode series, culminating in the miniseries "The Defenders."
The multiyear deal extends Marvel's push into live-action TV, following the September debut of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." on Disney's ABC network. Netflix gains more Disney content following an agreement last year for rights to show movies including Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm titles.
"What's exciting for a company like Disney and us is the willingness to try something new," Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said Nov. 4 at the Business of Entertainment event in Los Angeles, sponsored by Bloomberg and the Tribeca Film Festival.
Disney is mining deeper in Marvel's library following box-office success since purchasing the comic-book company in 2009. "Marvel's The Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" were the top-grossing films of 2012 and 2013 respectively. "Guardians of the Galaxy," about a team of superheroes in space, is planned for next year, and an Ant-Man movie is scheduled for 2015.
The Defenders alliance has featured a shifting cast of Marvel characters since its comic-book debut in 1971. Hulk, Silver Surfer and Hellcat have all made appearances.
Hell's Kitchen
The first of the new Hell's Kitchen series, based on Daredevil, will be followed by shows with characters Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage.
Netflix is expanding its content investment as it battles with Amazon.com Inc., the largest online retailer, and Hulu LLC for online viewers. In the third quarter, Los Gatos, California-based Netflix passed Time Warner Inc.'s premium-cable outlet HBO in paid U.S. subscribers, and reached a domestic total of 31.1 million.
Shares of Los Gatos, California-based Netflix fell 1.8 percent to $329.64 at 1:44 p.m. in New York, while Burbank, California-based Disney fell 1.9 percent to $67.68.

When President Richard C. Levin first announced Yale's groundbreaking New Haven Homebuyer Program for University faculty and staff on April 20, 1994, he was asked by a reporter, "What is the limit on the number of participants?"
"There is no limit," Levin responded, signaling Yale's ongoing commitment to its hometown. Aimed at strengthening neighborhoods, the Homebuyer Program was one of the first programs Levin launched as part of Yale's community investment program with New Haven. In the years since, major initiatives with the public schools and for economic development have also grown.
The Yale Homebuyer Program marked a major milestone in 2011, surpassing 1,000 Yale employees who have bought homes in New Haven with University support. To date, there have been 1,013 participants.
"New Haven has been my own home for over 40 years, and I know how great a place it is to live and raise a family," Levin says. "It gives me tremendous satisfaction that the Yale Homebuyer Program has led so many colleagues to invest in New Haven's neighborhoods, enjoy the benefits of living here, and contribute to our community's renaissance."
From the beginning, the Homebuyer Program has had a straightforward design. It gives permanent employees working 20 or hours or more a week an annual income benefit if they purchase a home to own and occupy in target areas in the city. The program operates in two-year phases to allow for assessment of its impact and for strategic modifications. Currently, the program provides employees with a $5,000 first-year bonus and an annual $2,500 grant for up to 10 years as long as they continue to own and live in the home and remain employed by the University. This $30,000 total benefit is the most generous such incentive offered by any university-based employer-assisted homeownership program in the country.
Home purchases in a large portion of the city qualify, including Wooster Square, the eastern portion of East Rock, Beaver Hills, and the six "empowerment zone" neighborhoods: Newhallville, Dixwell, Dwight, Fair Haven, the Hill, Newhallville, and West Hills. This geographic area is the largest covered among any of the nation's university homeownership programs. The benefit is popular across Yale's various job families: 29% of the homebuyers since 1994 are members of the Yale faculty, 27% are management and professional staff, 31% are clerical and technical staff, and 13% are service and maintenance staff.
The one thousand-plus homebuyers cite New Haven's vitality as a place where people choose to live and be involved as a major reason for their participation in the program. "Yale really helped us with our move to the New Haven area," says Ryan Wepler, assistant director of the Yale College Writing Center, who bought a home in Fair Haven. "We're now active with our neighbors through the Chatham Square Neighborhood Association. Since we have two fellow Yale homebuyers nearby, the program strengthens bonds inside and outside work."
Wepler is not alone in his involvement. Almost two-thirds of Yale homebuyer program participants report that they participate in neighborhood activities such as block watches, parent groups at schools, and neighborhood management teams.
More than 80% of Yale employee participants have been first time homebuyers; these include both incoming employees moving to the area and existing employees looking to move from rental housing to a place they can call their own.
New Haven has enjoyed the largest population growth from 2000 to 2010 of any place over 100,000 in New England according to the U.S. Census. Notably, the Census recorded a 9% increase over those 10 years in the number of husband-wife families with young kids living in the city.
This year, even amidst the ongoing effects of the global economic downturn, New Haven has seen the opening of a Stop & Shop supermarket in the Dwight neighborhood in March, the launch of an Apple Store on Broadway in September, and the establishment of a full-service grocery store in the Elm City market downtown in November. Reuters reported in October that New Haven has the highest apartment occupancy rate of any market in the United States — a statistic that many point to as evidence of the resilience of the city's renaissance.
The Homebuyer Program is a key element of Yale University's overall partnership with its neighbors to sustain a strong New Haven. To date, Yale University has committed a total investment of $25 million in incentives for employees, with the total value of all homes purchased by Yale faculty and staff valued at over $175 million at point of sale. The program overall has had a positive impact on the New Haven housing market, with realtors reporting that it is a factor in making New Haven an even more attractive as a place to buy for both Yale employees and others. In 2010-2011, purchases by Yale employees represent 12.5% of all residential sales in New Haven, and 14% of the value of all residential sales in that time period.
Yale also supports a wide array of programs to support public education, including the New Haven Promise college scholarship initiative launched a year ago, and on-campus academic programs for public school students throughout the school year and the summer. The University is an active partner in creating a vital downtown and promoting New Haven's economic development through its community investment program, and as a result is one of the largest payers of real estate taxes in New Haven. It also makes an additional voluntary contribution to the city budget that helps fund municipal services for residents throughout New Haven.
"The City of New Haven is fortunate to have at its center an institution like Yale that appreciates and understands the value of the neighborhoods that surround it," Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., said in saluting this most recent milestone of the New Haven-Yale partnership. "The Yale Homebuyer Program is just one example of the many positive investments Yale University has made in its home town, and the city is better off for it."
In light of the Yale Homebuyer Program's continuing positive impact and to support New Haven's ongoing renaissance, the university's trustees voted at their most recent meeting on Dec. 10 to renew the program for another two year-period through Dec. 31, 2013.

An old neighbor once introduced me to a couple who spent years at a commune, they both had to have injections and a swathe of meds to keep them functioning because they fried their brains on drugs, it was sad because they were really nice people but obviously mentally unstable.
But I can't blame them because hippies are pleasant and peaceful people to be around. And besides going off the grid and popping 'shrooms is just the western equivalent of the Ayahuasca rituals or peyote rights of passage, which if done correctly can help you find enlightenment and inner peace, and we could all do with that.
Merry Christmas NYG MB friends! I am blessed to know you guys and to be a fan of this great organization. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Politico reports that the EPA is about to propose modest greenhouse gas emission limits for heavy trucks and buses. Stephen Spruiell comments:
It's going to be very, very difficult for Congress or industry to get the EPA to stop doing this. I'm fairly sure that the president can veto or ignore any law or resolution aimed at curtailing the EPA's power on this front, and we know where the Court stands. My concern is that even if the GOP takes the White House in 2012, the EPA will have set so much of this process in motion that it will be difficult or possibly pointless to undo.
Obviously Spruiell is unhappy about this, though I'm pretty sure these regs are only superficially related to climate change anyway. Basically, they're just an extension of the usual CAFE mileage standards, but ever since the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA was required to regulate greenhouse gases CAFE has become a joint DOT/EPA effort. That's a pretty thin veneer, though. Improving mileage automatically reduces carbon emissions, so EPA's involvement really has very little practical effect.
Still, Spruiell is right in general: EPA is going to start regulating greenhouse gases, and they're going to do it because congressional conservatives unanimously rejected a climate bill that would have preempted EPA action and set up a better, more predictable1 framework for reducing carbon emissions. So now we're going to start getting piecemeal EPA regulations that even liberals don't really want. Conservative compromise could have produced a bill that, literally, would have been better than the status quo by everyone's yardstick. The business community would have liked it better than EPA regs, liberals would have liked it better, and conservatives would have liked it better. But compromise is death with the tea party breathing down your neck, so instead we end up with the worst of all possible worlds. Nice work.
1Yes, more predictable. Ironically, for all the yammering that conservatives are currently doing about businesses cowering in fear because of the jackboot of Barack Obama's regulatory dystopia, they rejected a bill that would have removed EPA uncertainty and replaced it with known, reasonably measurable rules.

text: Small-school prospects high on the list of NFL draft decision makers Story Highlights Success of players like Joe Flacco boost small-college players WR Ramses Barden of Cal-Poly has size, but needs to prove speed A pair of Tennessee State offensive linemen are showing promise By Tony Pauline, Special to SI.com, TFYDraft.com RB Rashad Jennings of Liberty turned heads at the Senior Bowl last month. Icon SMI The NFL Draft is not just about players from big-time college programs. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Tennessee State), Joe Flacco (Delaware) and Danieal Manning (Abilene Christian) are just some of the recent small-school prospects who were selected early in the draft then went on to make positive impacts at the next level. Broken down by position, here's a list of the small-school players many will be speaking about as we move towards the 2009 draft. Quarterbacks Rhett Bomar/Sam Houston State: Bomar began his career at Oklahoma before circumstances forced him out. He's a well-sized passer with an NFL arm yet a need to improve his mechanics. Bomar offers development potential for a team willing to invest a late-round pick. Mike Reilly/Central Washington: Reilly played lights out as a senior and looks brilliant on tape. He throws a nice ball and has a great feel for the position. Reilly was disappointing during the East-West Shrine Game and his combine workout is critical in determining his final draft ranking. Running Backs Rashad Jennings/Liberty: Jennings proved he could play with the best in the nation at last month's Senior Bowl. He's a good size at 234 pounds and runs with both speed and power. Jennings is also effective as a blocker and pass catcher out of the backfield. He has all the makings of an NFL feature runner. Bernard Scott/Abilene Christian: Scott is considered a better NFL prospect than Dominic Rhodes, the former Midwestern State product whose been a vital piece to the Indianapolis Colts offense. Like Rhodes, Scott is a smaller back who can be used in a variety of ball-handling roles. Wide Receivers-Tight Ends Ramses Barden/WR/Cal-Poly: Barden is an imposing 6-foot-6, 227-pound pass catcher with reliable hands. He presents himself as a terrific red zone threat who out-muscles defenders for the reception. The faster Barden runs at the combine, the earlier he'll be drafted. Dominique Edison/WR/Stephen F. Austin: Edison is a sleeper to draft outsiders but NFL decision makers are well aware of his talents. He's a reliable pass catcher with a complete game and has been the go-to guy at SFA the past two seasons. Like Barden, good 40 times at the combine will determine where Edison lands in the draft. Brian Mandeville/TE/Northeastern: Mandeville is a terrific pass catcher who moves his 6-6, 260-pound body around the field like a graceful wide receiver. He offers a great amount of upside potential and has starting abilities for the NFL. Offensive Line Joel Bell/OT/Furman: Bell is a large (6-7) left tackle who projects to the right side in the NFL. He's a competitive lineman that blocks with a nasty attitude and is a prospect who should just get better as he physically matures and adds bulk to his frame. Cornelius Lewis/OG/Tennessee State: The Florida State transfer is a stout college tackle best in confined quarters. Lewis is a terrific run blocker who opens up lanes for ball carriers. He has the size and strength to play guard at the next level. Cecil Newton/C/Tennessee State: Scouts were surprised Newton did not receive a combine invitation as he is graded as one of the better centers in April's draft. He's a strong, explosive lineman with zone blocking ability. Defensive Linemen Chris Baker/DL/Hampton: Baker made an immediate impact upon his arrival at Hampton after transferring from Penn State. He's a forceful lineman who combines size and athleticism to overwhelm opponents and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Hampton offers potential as a conventional defensive tackle or as a two-gap end. Lawrence Sidbury Jr./DE/Richmond: Sidbury was a dominant pass rusher on the FCS level and unstoppable the past two seasons. He capped off his Richmond career by registering four sacks in the Spiders' national championship victory over Montana. Sidbury's game is based on speed and quickness. Look for him to put up great workout numbers during the combine. Linebackers Lee Robinson/Alcorn State: Robinson is a sensational athlete who combines size (250 pounds) and speed (4.68 seconds in the 40) to make plays all over the field. He's a stout run defender who posted 111 tackles as a senior and also shows skill in pass coverage. Robinson is expected to light it up at the combine. Jovan Belcher/Maine: Belcher was a pass rushing terror at Maine from his defensive end position yet possesses the size which necessitates a move to outside linebacker in the NFL. He's a bit of a work in progress yet has shown the underlying skills to develop into a productive starter at the next level. Defensive Backs Domonique Johnson/DB/Jackson State: Johnson has been one of the best cornerbacks in FCS since transferring to Jackson State from Missouri. He offers terrific size and has the potential to be used at corner or safety. Ladarius Webb/DB/Nicholls State: Webb is another multi-dimensional defensive back with potential at several positions in the secondary. He's a tough run defender with a nice feel for coverage and also shows ability as a special teams player.

Gartner Market Share
How is Revenue Allocated Across a Market's Leading Technology Providers?
Market share is one of the most important metrics used by executives in any business. Through our Market Share Analysis methodology, clients understand how share is allocated among 1,200 technology providers in over 30 key markets. Our detailed analysis of how provider revenue is distributed reveals what types of solutions are succeeding, which are trailing and where opportunities exist for providers to take additional share.
How Do Clients Use Market Share Analysis?
Clients depend on Gartner Market Share Analysis to validate their assessment of a market's leading providers. IT providers, in particular, rely on this analysis to understand their own market positions.
Clients also use market share data to monitor trends and identify shifts that may indicate opportunities to capture additional share. Because many markets are updated quarterly and all markets are updated annually, clients can be confident in the timeliness of the data for supporting their business decisions.
How Does Market Share Analysis Work?
Our approach to Market Share Analysis combines primary surveys and vendor briefings with secondary research such as public financial disclosures, industry trade association material and government statistics.
Multiple data points ensure that the statistics we report are objective and accurate, and that quality checks are in place to prevent double-counting across sectors.
We will from time to time examine markets from different perspectives to enhance our understanding of them and identify shifts that may not be evident from examination of revenue alone. Although revenue is the primary basis for our estimates of market share, metrics such as "unit shipments" may be used as an adjunct to revenue when looking at different markets.

Every State Can Be a Solar State
The toxic politics of the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rules on coal plants were on full display last week, with protests at public hearings in Denver and Pittsburgh. Behind those fights is a more interesting policy question: How much more power can the country reasonably hope to get from renewable energy, without making electricity unaffordable?
When it comes to solar power, the answer is quite a lot more. Start with the international comparison. The U.S. will get just 1.6 percent of its electricity from solar this year, according toprojections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In Japan, that figure is 2.4 percent; among most European countries, it's 6.1 percent.
But the more compelling data comes from looking at how states already use solar power. Not only is there tremendous variation from state to state, but the leading states aren't the ones you would expect. The lesson is that what's driving solar power is as much policy as geography. That in turn suggests that other states can catch up -- if they want to.
The state in the continental U.S. with the greatest solar capacity per ratepayer is Arizona, which isn't surprising; after all, people retire there for a reason. What is surprising is how much Arizona leads its neighbors, which enjoy roughly the same number of sunny days. As of May, Arizona's installed solar capacity was 765 watts per utility customer, according to data from the Solar Energy Industries Association. That's two-thirds more than Nevada, almost three times as much as New Mexico and 80 times as much as Utah.
Another standout is North Carolina, whose installed solar capacity is 121 watts per customer, making it eighth-highest in the continental U.S. That capacity is five times greater than Georgia's and 60 times as much as Virginia. South Carolina produces even less than Virginia.
But the best illustration of the link between policy and solar power may be New Jersey, which has more installed solar capacity than any other state east of Arizona. At 281 watts per customer, the state often (and unfairly) associated with turnpikes and Superfund projects has 10 times as much solar as New York or Pennsylvania.
As the charts above suggest, there's no clear connection between reliance on solar power and the cost of power. That's not just cherry-picking by region. When you look at the 15 states in the mainland U.S. with the highest share of solar power, there's no association with electricity bills.
Here's another point in favor of the argument that the U.S. could produce a lot more solar energy: Among the states that already rank highest, there's no single policy that accounts for that success. Instead, states have approached it using a mix of subsidies, surcharges, trading systems and regulations.
For example, Arizona requires utilities to get 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025. California gives utilities permission to add a surcharge to customers' electricity bills to fund solar projects. North Carolina gives partial tax exemptions to developers of large-scale solar facilities. New Jersey lets the owners of solar panels sell "renewable energy certificates" to offset their cost. Whatever your ideology, there's a solar program for you.
The takeaway is that geography and political affiliation are only so important to a state's ability to generate solar power. As the EPA fight continues, it's worth remembering that moving away from coal doesn't have to be as hard as the critics say it is.

"It was a fine autumn. The blackberries were ripe and the nuts were ready, and the mice of Brambly Hedge were very busy. Every morning they went out into the fields to gather seeds, berries and roots, which they took back to the Store Stump and carefully stored away for the winter ahead. The Store Stump was warm inside and smelled deliciously of bramble jelly and rising bread, and it was already nearly full of food."Autumn Story by Jill Barklem
I grew up reading these books, my older sister had the set of four and if I asked her very nicely, she would let me read them. I knew that blackberries were an autumn fruit because I read about it but it wasn't until I moved to Nova Scotia that I really experienced blackberries at the end of summer. I feel just like the mice, there is an abundance of food to be harvested and persevered. I don't need Old Mrs. Eyebright to tell me that the weather is changing, there's a nip in the air some evenings and there's the slightest change of colour in the leaves.
I'm freezing corn, with the help of my little corn-huskers who almost beg to help me. I'm freezing peppers as is to toss in stir fries as well as roasting red peppers to liven up pizzas in January. I've made tentative plans to make this relish with a friend, we'll be making it as we wait for her baby to make its appearance or we'll be making it amidst my girls playing baby-sitter. Either way, it'll be a welcome addition to our shelves. The pounds of fruit seconds beg to be taken home and made into jam or frozen for smoothies, my husband brings home a bag of golden plums and they are turned into jam while it pours rain. And then I feel it is only fitting to scoop the leftover jam on toasted biscuits. It seems like what the mice would do.
After months of talking about, I've finally decided to make my own ketchup (sorry Mom, for giving you such a hard time about it when I was ten, you were right. It is better homemade).
Do you have plans to fill your own storehouse? Have you made your own ketchup before? And now I'm off to brew some (non acorn) coffee and fill my own home with the smell of rising bread.

Pilot Bay boardwalk protest organiser Colleen Spiro is "truly happy" with the Tauranga City Council's compromise solution.
"I did not think we would get that much of a compromise," she told the Bay of Plenty Times.
Mrs Spiro was responding to the council's decision to relocate the planned $500,000 boardwalk so that it ran as close to the side of the road as practical along the widest grassed section - from the toilets to the Salisbury Wharf carpark.
She said the boardwalk was no longer smack in the middle of the main grassy area. "People can continue to enjoy their picnics and watch their children."
Her Facebook page headed "Say No to the Boardwalk" became a major public focus for the campaign against the boardwalk.
Mrs Spiro supported the Mount Maunganui Progressive Association's (MMPA) stance to sort out the restoration of Pilot Bay's eroded foreshore using shipping channel dredgings before addressing the issue of the boardwalk.
Her fall-back position was for the boardwalk to run from the toilets to the boat ramp and to have no boardwalk on the main grassy area.
However, she said she was happy with the outcome of Monday's meeting.
Pilot Bay's foreshore would now be able to be used by everyone including the disabled, mothers pushing prams, walkers and tourists, she said.
MMPA chairman David Burnett said he was as happy as he could be with the result.
It was an improvement on the original plan and maintained the green spaces.
The next step for the council was to go back to the highest tenderer with the changes. The aim was to begin construction as soon as possible. It will be built 100 metres at a time and was expected to take 15 weeks to complete.
