British food products
- e
- expat Nov 1, 2004 02:21 PM
Any idea where I can buy British food products in San Francisco/ Bay Area? Cheers!
leonards on polk is one place
mollie stones is another
there are several other places
there's an indian place on clement but i dont recall the name
there are lots of other places too, but the ones I mention are ones I've used.
NB - there is a recent problem whereby all cadbury's stuff has become available due to trade issues, so this means its not possible to get a lot of the chocolate you could get prviously.
also there are lots of online places if you do a web search
It's funny but the Campbell/San Jose area has both a British food store and an Australian food store. I know it's pretty far south but if you're really needing that fix it's available down here.
British Food Centre
1614 W Campbell Ave
Campbell, CA 95008-1535
re: KK
The place in San Carlos has a lot of frozen foods and a large selection of staples. When I was there last, someone loaded a couple ice chests full of stuff into his car to drive down to Southern Calif.
Here's a link to a previous thread that lists more British food resources.
The British Grocery
726 15th St
San Francisco,CA 94103
re: Wine Templar
the best sausage roll i've had since i've been here was made by a friend who did the wole thing from scratch, pastry and all.
you can always by the pastry frozen, but the sausage meat isn't ever going to be the same as british sausage meat.
There is an american version of a sausage roll, but i can't remember what they are called.
If you manage to find a good one, please let me know
ummm, warm, fresh baked, sausage rolls
re: Sixy beast
Nope - not willing to make my own from scratch. Must be made by a true Brit for it to taste right.
I'm on a quest...
re: Wine Templar
the ones i had WERE made by a true Brit
(there are quite a lot of us in these here parts)
it tasted quite wonderful
i just don't think you you can get the right kind of sausage here.
I've never found a sausage yet that tastes like british bangers, especially the ones labelled "british style bangers", and my friend had similar problems sourcing the exact right type of sausage meat for her rolls, though she got close.
re: Sixy Beast
Ancient thread. Sixy, do you remember where she found this 'British-style' meat for the bangers ?
re: Wine Templar
A number of pubs do reasonable sausage rolls, including Mad Dog in the Fog on the Haight. But the best sausage roll I've had in town comes from this french bakery on the corner of Fillmore and Bush. Can't remember the name of it but it's got a bright yellow sign. And the rolls, fresh out of the oven are absolutely spot on.
For what it's worth, I've gotten frozen Cameron's banger rolls and other specialties from the British Food Centres Ltd. (BFC) which (according to their business card) has shops in Campbell, San Carlos, and Solana Beach.
Berkeley Bowl, Draeger's, various Andronico's, Nob Hill, and other supermarkets all around the Bay Area have carried small British specialty sections, especially in recent years. None that I've seen approaches the variety at the BFCs. Cambell at least has a big refrigerated and frozen section including bulk meats and sausages. And endless packaged goods out front: Maynards Wine Gums, toffees, jam tarts, Indian spice pastes and condiments (many), vegetarian products (many), canned vegetables incl. "Mushy Peas," frozen desserts like the well-known "Spotted Dick," and even (in case you happen to be seeking it) Bird's cornstarch-based blancmange mix in a 3.5 kg bag, "makes 1270 portions."
Several newer threads have revisited this subject:

The Night Day
By Keffer
2 Feb 2011
Jour De Nuit (The Night Day)
Night, a place inhabited by unknown wildlife. A mixture that is not found nowhere. There is very little vision of this world, often hidden underground, emerging only rarely during the day, meaning living against time and against the system.
A world in another world, or some come to work, others for fun. The night is fast, while little change overnight, people leave, come back, hide, change their appearance.
Walking since 3 years between all kind of places and ambiances with no limits, the underground, the upperground, classy or dirty, around the world, specialy in Paris.
Everything is captured without preparation, at the right time in the right place, pure random, to catch the right expression, the right movement, the real instant.
"While you sleep, we destroy the world."

A downside to being analytical, ambitious, driven, and learning about a lot --
You see problems where others do not.
Because, what is "potential" except a set of things that aren't right already?
Because of that, it's easy to get restless, not happy with the status quo, to feel like you're falling short of all you know it's possible.
The funny part, seeing that potential, seeing how things could be... it means you actually get to live a much more rich and full life. You just maybe don't appreciate it as much, because you see all the other things you could be doing better.
I find it crucially important to balance this. Without keeping this in check by appreciating the way things are in each moment, I fear that I might lose the ability to find contentment. It's not that I choose to dwell there very often, but I believe that it's very important to be able to get to a state of contentment when necessary. Always know your exits, right?
Well said!!! I just had a huge fight with a senior developer and it really boils down to the fact that I can see how everything can be so much better.
It is true. I just finished reading A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy (Tynan recommended it! and I saw it on Derek Siver's book list) and it relates directly to this issue. The stoics used a technique of negative visualization, contemplating the loss of all things that they value (relationships, possesions, etc). They used this technique to attempt to create desires within for things they already had and appreciate the status quo, rather than endlessly pursuing more. Interesting concept.
I never really understood good marketing until I started to respect my own time more. These days, I'm trying to really live 24 hours per day the way I want to be living them. Do you know how much time there is in 24 hours? It's a lot.
Before I respected my own time, I didn't really respect other people's time as much. Don't get me wrong - I was always cool enough, I didn't waste people's time, but I never realized what a magnificent thing people choosing to spend their time with you is. There's so many good places to spend your time - getting entertainment, learning, connecting with good people, building things, inventing, relaxing, thinking, working. When someone spends their time with me, whatever the medium, that's a tremendous honor.
When someone comes to join me at my blog, reads something I write, listens to me speak, meets me for a coffee or we go on an adventure together - there's a hell of a lot of other places they could be, and a hell of a lot of other great things they could be doing with their time.
I think good marketing respects that. Good marketing goes, "This person could be anywhere else - let's make it worth their while." Kathy Sierra, Seth Godin, and Chet Holmes all talk about this - educating people, teaching them, making them want to spend time with you. Being entertaining, or informative, building a place people feel welcome, or strong, or get smarter at.
I think that's most of good marketing - having people want to spend time in and around you, your company, wanting to be associated with what you've got. The rest of good marketing is offering people something worth many, many times more than what you're charging. My current target is 10x - if I'm working to help someone build their revenues, I'm aiming to get them 10 times my fees in net profit, for a 1000% ROI. To be honest with you, I'll settle for 4x and 400%, but I'm aiming for 10.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Steve Jobs
If you're scared of doing anything, ask yourself what's the worst thing that could happen if all goes wrong. Then compare that scenario to death. I bet you it's trivial in comparison.
Let's say you want to quit your job, start a business and follow your passion. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?
Well, your project could fail, you could waste a bunch of money, and perhaps get into some debt if you're foolish about it. You would also gain invaluable experience. And you would have to get a new job, which could either be better or worse.
Now how does that compare to the destiny we all share? If you keep in mind that you're going to be dead soon, it's really not that big of a deal to risk your job security.

Come hear from Lori Eanes and meet some special guest animals!
Backyard Roots is a unique project by California-based photographer Lori Eanes that evocatively and intimately explores the lives of 35 urban farmers in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
The burgeoning range of people now turning their urban backyards into homesteads is wide and varied, from families with young children, to immigrants recapturing their original culture, to idealistic twenty-somethings seeking community. Many of these farmers have a special lesson or inspiration to share with those who aspire to, or simply appreciate, the urban farm lifestyle.

ANOTHER psychiatrist told jurors today he believed Will Blencowe would have known what he was doing was wrong when he stabbed Connor Tremble 15 times.
Blencowe, 21, admits stabbing his 17-year-old love rival at his Oxford flat in February, but denies he planned it and murdered him.
Defence witness Dr Michael Orr told the Oxford Crown Court jury this morning that Blencowe, of Oxford Road in Banbury, had told him he felt like "someone had stolen his body" during the attack that left Connor fatally injured.
Giving a second opinion this afternoon, forensic psychologist Dr Sukhjeet Lally – a prosecution witness – agreed Blencowe had mental health problems.
But when asked by prosecutor Richard Barton if they meant Blencowe would not know what he was doing, he said: "Not at all."
The trial continues.

He arrested him at gunpoint then made it clear that he could get out of the trouble he was in with a little favor.The cop sucked Tyson's cock then had Tyson return the favor. He took him into a deserted room in the alley, put Tyson on all fours and drilled him right in his black ass. He hammered away on him, fucking that ass deep and true like a fine oiled machine. He flipped him over on his back and pounded harder and harder until he was ready to pop so he pulled out and shot his load all over Tyson's cock.

MAPPING MERCER Historic Exhibit to Open at MCCC Gallery in NJ, 1/23
The County of Mercer officially kicks off a yearlong celebration of its 175th Anniversary year with "Mapping Mercer!", an exhibition of historic and contemporary maps that trace some of the history of Mercer County, New Jersey. The exhibit will be on display at The Gallery at Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, from Jan. 23 through Feb. 14. It starts with an Opening Reception on Wednesday, Jan. 23, from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
On display for the first time since the early 1930s will be two of the county's hand-rendered Master Plan maps. Other featured maps include a 1719 map of "Pensilvania, New-Jersey, New-York, and the Three Delaware Counties"; Victorian bird's eye view maps of Hightstown, Hopewell Borough and Trenton; the last official map of New Jersey (1833) before Mercer became a county in 1838; and a county map from the 1860s. One of the three gallery rooms will be dedicated to the mapping of Bear Tavern Road, dating from the 1700s when the road was called River Road. The newest map will reflect the recent merger of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township.
An interactive computer installation will allow visitors a first-hand experience of contemporary mapping techniques.
The Gallery will host two lectures in conjunction with the exhibit. The first, entitled "Planning and Engineering Today," takes place on Thursday, Jan. 31 at noon. Featured speakers are Donna Lewis, director of the County's Planning Division, and Paul Pogorzelski, Hopewell Township's administrator/engineer.
The second talk will feature Maxine Lurie, Ph.D., and Michael Siegel, editor and cartographer, respectively, of the book Mapping New Jersey: An Evolving Landscape. They will discuss their book and the power of maps in telling a complex story.
The exhibition and all events are free and open to the public. More information about Mercer County's 175th Anniversary celebration is available at www.mercer175.org. For more information about The Gallery at MCCC, visit www.mccc.edu/gallery, contact by email at email@example.com, or call 609-570-3589.

Caddy leads U.S. Senior Open

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

The 2014 Season: At a glance
Endstation Theatre Company is pleased to announce its 2014 season. This year's season includes Two Gentleman of Virginia, Our Town and Always… Patsy Cline. Together the three presentations uniquely weave together the three most vital aspects of Endstation's work: our community's people, landscape and history.
Two Gentleman of Virginia is an Endstation contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare's Two Gentleman of Verona. Written by Endstation veteran Walter Kmiec with Jude Flannelly, the parody's heroes Thomas Jefferson and James Madison live in a hybrid world wherein the 1780s meet the 1980s complete with a hair band and fashion maven Betsy Ross. Whether you prefer the Bard or Bon Jovi, this hilarious and highly creative production promises to be a night out not to be missed. Two Gentleman of Virginia opens on the lawn of Jefferson's retreat home Poplar Forest on June 6 and 7. The production rounds out the remainder of its run on the beautiful grounds of Sweet Briar College June 13-14, 20-21, July 4, and July 18-19. Rain dates are June 8, 15, 22 and July 20.
The second production of the season is Thornton Wilder's classic Our Town co-directed by Artistic Director Geoffrey Kershner and Aaron C. Thomas. This production is performed exclusively at Old City Cemetery. Its location illuminates the message of Our Town. "It makes these themes of the preciousness of life even more potent," says Kershner. According to Kershner, this production of Our Town "is an embrace of Lynchburg." The play features a multicultural cast with the purpose of depicting the demographics of the Hill City. The music of local church choirs will also be featured at each performance. Our Town will be performed at Old City Cemetery June 27-28, July 5-6, and July 10-12. Rain dates are June 29 and July 13.
Endstation's third production of the season, Always…Patsy Cline, is produced in partnership with the Academy of Fine Arts. Written by Ted Swindley and directed by Chad Larabee, Always…Patsy Cline is based on the true story of the Virginia-born country music legend and her friendship with a Houston fan named Louise Seger. The musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes some 27 of Patsy's unforgettable hits such as "Crazy," "I Fall to Pieces," "Sweet Dreams" and "Walkin' After Midnight."
In Endstation's take the Academy's Warehouse Theatre is transformed into a Texas Honky Tonk with a functioning bar. According to Kershner, "it will be immersive and like nothing anyone has experienced in that space before." After Friday and Saturday evening performances a local bluegrass act will follow the show with a set to extend the honky tonk experience for audiences. Performances are July 24-27, 31 and August 1-3 at the Academy of Fine Arts Warehouse Theatre in Downtown Lynchburg.
Endstation is the proud winner of a 2014 INNOV8 grant. Thanks to the City of Lynchburg, the Office of Economic Development, and Lynch's Landing. Some exciting announcements ahead as this expands Endstation activity in Downtown Lynchburg…
Endstation Honored by Local Arts Council

Kelly Bremner On Bringing UNEARTHED to Life
Today on the blog Kelly Bremner who directs and developed Unearthed shares her perspective on bringing this new piece to life. Don't miss Unearthed this weekend July 26-28 at 7 pm in Babcock Auditorium at Sweet Briar College.
Tell me about how you came to be involved with Unearthed.
Four years ago I met up with Dan Gallagher and Angie Sweigart-Gallagher in New York. I knew them from grad school, and Dan and I had worked on a few shows together in those years. Over drinks Dan told me all about Endstation Theatre Company and its mission to produce material that speaks to Central Virginian audiences. He said the company was going to start doing musicals, and he wondered if I might be interested in developing a musical work with my husband Scott that focused on Central Virginia. At the time Dan had also been lighting a lot of opera for City Opera in New York, and he was interested in seeing if we could work with Central Virginian source material in the same way that opera develops certain types of characters and epic plots. I thought Dan's ideas were so amazing, but I felt funny taking on a regional work from a place I didn't come from. I put it on the back burner….
Call it fate or what have you, but five months later I was hired at Emory & Henry College in nearby Emory, VA. Suddenly I was "from here" even though I was a transplant. I turned my mind back to the project after my first year at Emory as I started to fall in love with the Appalachians. Geoff and the company invited Scott and I to campus that summer to pitch ideas to get this musical off the ground. At this point, I knew I would need a playwright, and I had just come off an amazing collaboration with Scott and playwright Nick Lantz, and we were all eager to work with each other again, so I told Nick all about the idea and asked him to share some ideas of potential plots. I vividly remember meeting with Geoff and Dan at Oh What a Blessing bakery, reading a handwritten note with a number of potential plot synopses, and bursting with passion about the project. Apparently my passion came across because here we are.
What is the design concept for this production?
The opening stage direction of the play is one of my favorite bits of writing from the script. "Two houses are connected by some woods but separated by 100 years." This meant we needed to capture two distinct time periods, and the vastness of an Appalachian forest all on one stage. Originally we really wanted to do this production in an alternative space like a black box, or even outdoors because I wanted the musical to be acoustic, and I wanted as much intimacy with the audience as possible. For a number of reasons, we ended up in Babcock Auditorium, but we kept working with the idea of keeping the play intimate.
Early on, Krista proposed a poetic/non-literal take on the idea of a forest to get at the sense of fairytale and magic in the script that I wanted highlighted. The result is the abstracted forest, with the houses on the far sides of the stage. Krista placed a passeral on the downstage edge of the stage in order to get my singers as close to the audience as possible. This space becomes a literal bridge between the two time periods, and serves as a place where characters can dream in song right next to my audience. As a director, I am blessed to spend all this time inches from some of the most amazing singers, and I am hopeful that my audiences will get the same thrill out of being so close because of Krista's design. It also allows us to put the band right in the middle of the set literally, which is awesome.
As you can imagine the lighting for the show needed to be amazing, since the idea for the show comes from a lighting designer. The abstracted forest drop becomes a playground for light, and Dan expertly manipulates the light through the space to both give us a sense of realism, and of magic. It is through the light that the idea of a fantasy world really gets driven home.
In the costumes we again went for a sense of heightened realism. You'll notice denim on nearly everyone on-stage, as well as a color palette which ties them all in with the forest. Katie Friedman, one of the interns this summer, was entrusted with the designs, and her work has been just amazing.
What is it like collaborating with not only your close friends, but your husband?
There are couples for whom this doesn't work so well, but for Scott and I? It works brilliantly. Scott is a genius, anyone can hear that in his music, but my expertise in the practical realities of staging a show helps him keep his feet on the ground. This is our third major collaboration, and in all three I have had to ask him for at least one major revision. These conversations aren't easy in any collaboration, but having them within the framework of also being married could be a scary prospect. These kinds of conversations are professional, but when talking about music that you have written, they very quickly become personal. I have combined expertise in both music and theatre because of my background, and I think Scott trusts me to not ask for something I don't think is necessary, and I trust him to listen and disagree if he needs to. For budding Unearthed fans, ask him about the re-write of the first song, Cass's song, the elimination of a duet with Gaither and Alzy, and a complete re-envisioning of the end of the play. There is some amazing music on the cutting room floor of this show, but I am glad he trusted me enough to let me encourage the changes I think the script needed.
Scott and I have worked well together since well before we were married, but I will admit this is something that has gotten harder since we had children, since it means we need to find to childcare. For this reason, we don't work together as often as we used to, so Unearthed is a real treat.
2 of the cast members also happen to be your students at Emory & Henry College where you are a professor. How does working with them differ in this context?
It is just awesome. I don't want to embarrass them, but I am beaming with pride at the work my two students do in the show. I try to share my passion for new work with my students, and thus they have heard me talking about Unearthed for years. However, as much as I love my students, out of respect for both their educations and the quality of the Endstation productions, I could not give them preferential treatment in casting. They needed to get this job without any special help, and both Jackie and Devin should be applauded for getting here on their own.
The three of us made a pact at the start of the summer that we wouldn't be student/professor for the summer, but would instead be friends and collaborators. It has been such a treat to get to know them this way, and to watch them grow as performers in this more professional context. I can't wait to see where both Jackie and Devin go from here after such a great summer with Endstation.
What aspect of Unearthed gets you the most excited?
Yeah right, you might as well ask me which child I like the best.
Seriously, I love everything about the show. Nick's words, Scott's music, the design, the story, the way it is inspired by this area, the way it re-interprets the music and folk tales of this region, watching others fall for Unearthed like I have, imagining a future for the work, the people I have gotten to know while putting it together…
This show for me has been almost like bringing a child into the world with a 4 year pregnancy. The love I feel for this show in unlike anything I have ever worked on, and I hope audiences leave as touched by this play as I am.
Unearthed is playing this weekend only Friday, Saturday and Sunday night at 7 pm in Babcock Auditorium at Sweet Briar College. For tickets call 434-826-0391 or visit endstationtheatre.org/get-tickets/
Interview with Unearthed playwright Nick Lantz
One of our greatest passions at Endstation is developing new work that is relevant to our audiences. For the last two years we've supported the development of UNEARTHED: an Appalachian Musical thanks in part to the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Today on the blog we meet Nick Lantz who wrote the book and lyrics for UNEARTHED.
How did UNEARTHED originate?
I believe Dan Gallagher wanted Endstation to produce a locally focused opera/musical, and he brought in Kelly Bremner and Scott Gendel, and Kelly in turn brought me in on the project. After doing some quick initial research, I pitched a series of plot outlines to Kelly—some of these versions were similar to the final story, and some were quite different, but many included some version of the Stranger character. I have a longstanding interest in folk tales and mythology, and I very much wanted to write the sort of story in which gritty, everyday problems are complicated by something magical or fantastic. Everyone was game for that, so that's what we gravitated toward.
How did you get connected with Scott, Kelly, Dan and Angie?
We all met when we were living in Madison, Wisconsin (we all went to grad school at UW-Madison). A few years ago, Kelly brought me in to write an opera with Scott, so we'd already worked together on a project. It was a good feeling, going into UNEARTHED knowing the strength of my collaborators.
Tell us about the research involved for UNEARTHED.
I started with books, mostly about the history and folk life of the Blue Ridge. My goal, particularly when writing about the characters from 1900, was to build a vocabulary that would sound authentic. I wanted to know the kind of objects and activities that would be part of these characters' daily lives, because those would be the details they would use as points of reference in the dialogue and songs. I also listened to a lot of traditional songs from the Blue Ridge and Appalachia (Scott Gendel and I actually exchanged playlists, and found we were often drawn to similar artists and songs). I wrote the lyrics of several songs in UNEARTHED to mimic the style of those folk songs, but some of the songs themselves provided inspiration for the story itself.
One example of that is the folk song "The Two Sisters" (which comes originally from England but has many American variations), in which one sister betrays and kills another over a romantic rivalry. That idea inspired the love triangle between Alzy, Cora, and Gaither in UNEARTHED, though the outcome in our show is quite different. In the summer of 2012, Endstation gave me the opportunity to come to Virginia and explore the Amherst area firsthand. This stage of research involved a lot of field trips, and again, this provided a lot of background texture, little details that arise in the dialogue to lend it authenticity but that aren't essential to the plot. Some outings led to more substantial aspects of the show. For example, several of us took an afternoon trip to the Piney River, which I ended up using as the setting for one of my favorite songs in the whole show.
I pitched a variety of different story ideas at the outset of the project, but even after we settled on one idea, a lot of the details changed, and any change tends to send out ripples. For example, Wade's mother was originally going to be a character in the show, but she needed to be cut for reasons of dramatic economy. But then I felt it was conspicuous that even though he's returning home we don't see Wade reconnecting with his family, so I decided to change his backstory so that he'd been raised by Melia's family, which completely changed how I understood their relationship. In my early research for the show, I listened to several versions of "The Wreck of Old 97," which is a terrific railroad ballad about a train wreck that took place in Virginia 1903. I really wanted a fictionalized train wreck based on that event to be a major part of UNEARTHED's plot and to write a song that paid homage to the original ballad. But as the script developed, the wreck's importance to the plot kept diminishing, and eventually I felt I had to drop it. One of the changes that was the most difficult (and rewarding) for me was the lullaby that Melia sings in Act 1. It was one of the first songs that Scott and I wrote for the show—it was spooky and dark, and I loved it. But as I wrote the rest of the script, it became clear that the song no longer fit, so we had to scrap it and start over. It was heartbreaking to let it go—I was proud of the text, and Scott's composition was absolutely haunting. So I was on a train, departing Lynchburg after my visit last summer, and I wrote a completely new version of the lullaby on that train ride. That version is (with some minor revisions) the one that appears in the show now. As much as I was sad to see the original go, I dare say the current version is even better, and the changes to the text allowed us to use it again in Act 2 in a way that I think will really surprise anyone seeing the show for the first time (I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it). The changes that song has gone through really exemplify the way that letting go of something good can make room for something better that you didn't expect.
Do you have a favorite character in UNEARTHED?
Boy, that is a tough question. The easy answer is probably Melia, though perhaps for selfish reasons. Many of the lines of dialogue and bits of song text I'm most proud of as a writer are hers, though not by design. The more complicated answer is that because playwrights depend on actors to actually embody their characters, a character who is more minor or a bit "thin" on the page can end up being one of the most memorable parts of the show because of the actor's performance. I've had health problems that prevented me from coming to Virginia this summer, but I've been watching a lot of rehearsals over the Internet, and I'm continually surprised and impressed by the life that the performers bring to the characters. So my answer to your question probably changes every time I watch part of the show, which is a great feeling. I think every character in the show gets his or her moment to really impress or surprise the audience.
Tell me about some of your other projects.
While I've written several plays, I'm mostly a poet. My third book of poetry, How to Dance as the Roof Caves In, will be published in March of 2014 (though it's already on Amazon!). The manuscript just went to the typesetter and I've seen the cover, which is pretty sweet. I'm currently writing another poetry collection that is all poems about animals and our (sometimes problematic) relationship to them. Right now I'm reading a lot about taxidermy as research for that project.
How does being a poet inform your work as a playwright?
I actually feel like poetry and drama come from very different parts of my brain. Part of that is the medium in which the audience encounters each genre. A poem is complete on the page, as text, but plays aren't complete until they're embodied by performers in a physical space. A poem can't depend on the presence of an actor or scenery to create an image—the poem's magic is that it can create a powerful, vivid image from words alone. As a playwright, I have to always be mindful of the fact that a real live person will have to stand on stage and speak/sing these words. That frees me from some of the obligations of poetry but imposes others. For example, in UNEARTHED, the way that past and present intermingle is inherently physical in a way it could never be on the page. Even though the show contains songs, the lyrics of which resemble poetry in some ways, a song is not a poem, and a poem is not a song. Added to that, the songs in UNEARTHED are so different in style from the poetry I usually write that there's very little crossover for me. A final difference is that a poet surrenders his or her text to the interpretation of a reader—that's a reasonably straight light between author and audience. In theater, the text is mediated through the interpretation of directors, composers, dramaturgs, designers, and actors before it ever reaches the audience. The end product rarely if ever matches exactly what the playwright had in mind. A musical like UNEARTHED is the result of extensive collaboration, and the significance of that can't be overstated. Working with the show's creative team and watching the rehearsals, I'm continuously amazed by and grateful for the unanticipated details and dimensions that all my collaborators have found in the text.

Reviews for: Meadow Run Farm
Average Review:
3 reviews
everything i was looking for in a farm
By: michelle carbaugh (May 9, 2013)
i seriously spent 6 months contacting farmers in search of the perfect farm and this is it. i was looking for a way to feed my family affordable food without sacrificing the quality. we needed grass fed beef, pastured chicken and pork and no gmo's in any of the feed. i was going to several different farms for different things and i love that meadow run has everything i need. we buy beef, chickens, pork, eggs, maple syrup, olive oil and more there. i think what really solidified my decision to shop here for all of our meat, is when i walked in their store they had copies of 'nourishing traditions' for sale.

Excellent assorted meat products
By: Laura K (Jan 12, 2013)
I have been in this farm three times and twice bought products from them. The quality is outstanding. The pork, chops, beef cuts, chicken cuts, granola, butter are some of their products which are of great quality. It is almost 2 hours away from where I live but the trips is worth it. The young owner is very diligent and the have a trusting service where people write what the buy and get chain, if necessary, from a little box. Like the old times. I highly recommend this farm.

A farm with a vision
By: Nicole Crockett (Jun 4, 2009)
I have been going to this farm for about 4 years after I heard of it from a friend of a friend. I have recommended it time and again because I believe in their vision. From talking to the farmers, I have learned that they have incorporated many of Joel Salatin's principles, a grass farmer from Virginia who has written many books on the subject. This family is passionate about their role in sustainable agriculture and they pass their love of the land onto their customers. They have a very convenient shed for customers to stop in and browse their products. And there is usually someone nearby to answer questions. I am so grateful to have this farm close by.

The Hidden Casualty of the Debt Deal
The underground economy will grow
I agree, but unless there is an equal violent reaction to corporate manipulation of our different divisions of government; there will be no change. Every single branch of our government is corrupt. The president has to follow Wall Street's wants because he can't rely on the courts or Congress to support his decisions. So my assessment of this particular change of our governance will be more underground/black-market expansion.
The reasoning behind this is easy to understand. If the government won't listen to the cries of the nation, then the population will build an underground organization to subvert the government's decisions—something similar to the underground train for the anti-slavery revolution.
What this effectively will do is subvert government, much like what happened in the abolition of slavery; the same thing happened to alcohol prohibition as well. The black market took over and forced the government to acknowledge the citizen's choices. That's why the black market will always survive—because most governments don't listen to the population. And those that want a better life tend to float between both legal and illegal choices.
Drugs are a perfect situation going on right now. Does anyone really think that the government will be able to stop the flow of drugs coming into the country if they are cutting back on governmental funding? Same is true of the pollution caused by big corporations; government can't regulate these big businesses because they control the lobbyists that buy our politicians.
So yes! You are right, and if we want to see real change we need to throw our support behind the underground that will eventually grow into a force large enough that the government will pay attention to it. Just like with Blackwater/XE, there needs to be equal force to push back.
Look at what is going on in Egypt, Libya, and Syria. All of them are different versions/levels of democracy trying to surface. Egypt is pure in its efforts, Libya is being propped up by other democratic nations and Syria is fighting with brutal results on its own with tyrannical control overpowering its efforts. No one really knows if any of these nations will succeed, but the "style" of democracy is varied. It's up to the population to decide which direction to take when struggling to exist and being tested. Our country has been through a civil war but now needs a reminder of just how difficult that struggle was. I believe that when the population of minorities becomes the majority, there will be another revolution and, personally, I will be behind them.
I still plan on voting until the supremacy elitists manipulate my option to vote, but I believe that they will continue to subvert those choices as well. Look at what's going on right now with each state and the limitations on voting and what changes are now beginning to be placed on it. This is a futile effort to control the nation for as long as possible.
Perhaps this letter will give you some ideas about future research on underground organizations.
Mexico is in this situation right now. And many of its citizens are coming here to escape the violence, so believe me when I suggest that this option might be going on right now. Weapons are our main source of revenues, so why wouldn't it be the "thing" that brings us down into a mediocre society? Heck, I think we are nearly there right now. Our country ignores its basic needs… infrastructure and education… hmm. What do you think?

When posting a coding question, it's important to help people to help you. Ideally, post a link to a web page that demonstrates the issue.
If that's not possible (for example, if your site is not live yet) there are various other options. You might, for example, create a working example of the problem on a site like jsFiddle or CodePen and then link to it in your post.
Another option is to put together a working example of the issue and post the code here.
For example, people often post something like this:
The problem here is that those trying to help don't know the full picture. What is the HTML that this applies to? To get the full picture, it would be useful to post all the code that is relevant to the issue.Quote:
I am having an issue with my layout. Here is the CSS:
.wrapper {
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #e7e7e7;
.content {
width: 60%;
float: left;
So the ideal here would be to post the code for a full document that demonstrates the issue. E.g.
People can then copy this code, paste it into a new .html file and open it in their browsers to observe the problem. It's then much easier to suggest a solution (which in this case might be to add overflow: hidden; to the .wrapper).Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">

Edward Eugene Claplanhoo, a Makah tribal elder, dies
Edward Eugene Claplanhoo, a Makah tribal elder and leader, died Sunday in Port Angeles. He was 81.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Whether it was a personal emergency, a tribal concern, or an issue with the federal government, people turned to Edward Eugene Claplanhoo.
A Makah tribal elder and leader, Mr. Claplanhoo had a steady, calm way about him, decades of experience to draw upon and a knack for building consensus.
"He didn't necessarily talk a lot," said Marty Bluewater, executive director of the Seattle-based United Indians of All Tribes Foundation. "But when he did talk, it was words of wisdom."
Mr. Claplanhoo died Sunday of a heart attack. He was 81.
Throughout his life, Mr. Claplanhoo played an influential role in the Makah tribe, serving as tribal chairman, on the tribal council and with numerous groups including the tribe's whaling commission and its higher-education and election boards.
In the 1970s, he was instrumental in developing the Makah Cultural and Research Center on the Makah Indian Reservation at Neah Bay, Clallam County.
A few years earlier, an archaeological dig in Ozette on the Olympic Peninsula had uncovered a Makah village that had partially been buried by a mudslide nearly 500 years ago. Some 55,000 well-preserved artifacts, from baskets to fish hooks, were found.
The tribe decided to create a museum to display some of those artifacts, and Mr. Claplanhoo made sure Makah elders were involved and that the museum's quality was high, said Janine Bowechop, the center's executive director.
Even when he wasn't serving in an official capacity, Mr. Claplanhoo was a mentor to many. He advised tribal council members and, as a proud Washington State University graduate, encouraged young people to seek higher education.
"He'd always remind you to be proud of who you are," said tribe member Joe McGimpsey.
He also served as emcee at potlatches and gatherings, including the annual Makah Days celebration.
Mr. Claplanhoo also built relationships with those in other tribes and was good at forging agreements among the approximately 10 tribes on the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation board, which he chaired for five years.
An Army veteran, Mr. Claplanhoo, along with his wife, Thelma Claplanhoo, donated land last year to help establish a veterans park and monument on the reservation. He also served as a leader within the Neah Bay Assembly of God Church.
"It seemed like he could help anybody," his wife said. "He was just a love, I tell you."
In addition to his wife, Mr. Claplanhoo is survived by their daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Jack Werkau, of Lake Tapps; their son and daughter-in law, Vern and Marla Tolliver, of Neah Bay; five grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
A viewing will be from noon to 5 p.m. Friday, Harper-Ridgeview Funeral Chapel, 105 W. Fourth St., in Port Angeles, and a memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Neah Bay Junior/Senior High School, 3560 Deer St., Neah Bay.
Donations in his memory may be made to Fort Núñez Gaona — Diah Veterans Park, c/o Robert Buckingham, P.O. Box 137, Makah Marina, Neah Bay, WA 98357.

Protesters attack police as Assam, Nagaland fight over territory
GUWAHATI India
GUWAHATI India (Reuters) - Thousands of protesters in Assam defied a curfew and attacked police in a fifth day of unrest over a territorial dispute with a neighbouring state.
Assam and Nagaland have been claiming tracts of land along the state limits since the creation of Nagaland more than four decades ago.
Clashes have periodically erupted between people living in villages straddling the two states. The latest wave of violence has left at least 20 dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, officials said.
On Thursday, residents of Assam's worst-affected Golaghat district turned on the state police, saying it had failed to protect them from attacks by Naga tribesmen coming over the state borders.
Armed with stones and sticks, and even bows and arrows, demonstrators attacked policemen and vehicles, ignoring a dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed by the authorities in the district, about 300 km (180 miles) from Assam's main commercial city Guwahati.
"The situation in Assam is volatile and emotions are high among the people against the government for its failure to protect its people from Nagas," said Akhil Gogoi, a protest leader in Guwahati.
India's mountainous northeast is home to dozens of ethnic groups, many of whom are campaigning for greater autonomy, statehood or even secession.
New Delhi has deployed troops for decades in the area which shares borders with China, Myanmar and Bangladesh. But critics say the northeast is a neglected corner of the country, and that federal politicians only turn their attention to it when there is an outbreak of violence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, elected by a landslide in May, has appointed a former army chief as his minister for northeast affairs to help build border infrastructure and ramp up economic activity.
Police said the latest trouble began when Naga tribesmen attacked a village inside Assam last week, killing 15 people and burning their homes.
Five people were later killed in police firing to quell angry mobs, an official said. The federal government has rushed about 1,000 paramilitaries to the troubled border areas.
The chief ministers of the two states were expected to meet later on Thursday to try and find ways to end the unrest.

I was going to get some hop rhizomes for my brother to plant on the old family property in Washington. Then I found out that Washington has a total hop disease quarantine. Anybody know of an in state source? There must be some given how much hop crop is grown there.
Primary: , Boddington's Clone, Mirror Pond w/Marris Otter
Bottled: Fullers ESB Clone
Kegged: Mirror Pond Clone
Drinking: BM's Kona Fire Rock, Dead Guy Clone, Alaskan Amber Alt Clone, Firestone DBA Clone, Magnum/Crystal IPA
Next up: Burton IPA
Hops Direct is in Washington, $8.00 eachhttp://www.hopsdirect.com/detail.src...egory=Rhizomes
Depending on where he is, you could try contacting Washington State University's Hop people. OSU's Hop program will give away (sometimes and you have to pick them up) rhizomes of the rarer hops to help conserve the strains.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Do you have any idea if any other universities would have a hop program, and if not, would OSU make rhizomes available to nonresidents?
As for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord. Joshua

Arsenal (in October 2010) and Moyes' Everton (in December 2010).
Mentoring Rooney
Of course, Moyes was the man who handed Wayne Rooney his chance at Everton, aged just 16. He played a vital role in Rooney's early development and once recalled the England striker's formative years: "He was very shy but had an enthusiasm on the training pitch that was akin to how any boy is playing football with his pals in the park. He scored a goal in training once where he chipped the keeper from such an incredible angle that it was met by silence. All the coaches just looked at each other as if to say: 'Did that really happen?' A phenomenal talent."
Endorsed by legends
Peter Schmeichel enjoyed unprecedented glory as the great goalkeeper in United's trophy-laden team of the 1990's. The Treble winner is therefore more than qualified to comment on the qualities required to succeed Sir Alex successfully. "David Moyes has been at Everton for more than a decade and he's done a fantastic job. He's Scottish, he's made from the same cloth as Sir Alex and he's the kind of guy you look at and you think 'stability'. Beyond anything else, that is the most important thing for Manchester United."
