In Your Eyes by Diana Nixon
My life has never been perfect. I lost, I lied, I cried. But there was one thing that I thought would stay with me forever — my love… Adrian was my everything. The day he died, I died with him. It was like being caught up in a nightmare, with no reason to keep breathing, with nothing to hold on to. But one day, everything changed. I didn't know I was lost until the moment Nic found me. He made me laugh, he made me feel, he made me believe that I could love again. I thought I would never feel alive, but then I looked into his eyes and I was lost. Only this time, it was not a nightmare swallowing me, but a beautiful dream coming true.Just when I thought there was no hope for tomorrow, my heart found a reason to beat faster…
In Your Eyes overlaps with Love Undone and is Emily's story. So those of you who haven't read it might want to read it first before jumping to this one, it gives a better understanding of the story.
With that out of the way, In Your Eyes is the perfect read for a lazy day with intriguing characters and an engaging plot. As always Diana Nixon reels you in from the get go. It is always great to read about another character's happily ever after and to fill in the blanks to the story that you love. It gives another depth to the first story and I think it just adds to the whole plot.
If I had to point out a negative, I'd say it could use a little fine tuning, but one can't deny the beauty of this story.
In Your Eyes is a story about second chances, it is about giving yourself a chance to love again. For all those who love a romance with a little bit of feels, this one is for you!
Also isn't the cover absolutely GORGEOUS!?!? I think its one of my favorites!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!! Hope this book is a success! <3

Pakistan's young batting sensation, Babar Azam has broken into top ten in ICC Players Rankings for ODI batsmen for the first time in his career.
Babar scored a tremendous century in the last ODI of the series against Australia in a losing cuase. He became only the second Pakistani to score a ton against Australia in their home ground.
The 22-year old batsman, who scored three consecutive centuries against West Indies in UAE, scored 282 runs at an average of around 56 in the five-match series. He is now the 10th ranked ODI batsman of the world.
On the other hand, the second best performer for Pakistan with the bat, Sharjeel Khan has jumped 35 spots to capture the 53rd position in ranking. He scored 250 runs in the series against Australia.
Australian opener David Warner has got the top position in the ranking with the courtesy of his red hot form in recent times. The left-handed flamboyant opener is glad that he is in a good nick before the ICC Champions Trophy.
"It is a huge year for one-day cricket with the ICC Champions Trophy later this year and I am hoping I can take my good form into that tournament and help Australia lift the trophy for the third time," said Warner.
"It is always a great honour and very nice to receive these accolades but from my perspective my job is to put our team into winning positions and I have been fortunate that I have been able to do that lately," he added.
AB De Villiers is occupying the 2nd position in the ranking followed By Virat Kohli at 3rd, Quinton De Kock at 4th and Kane Williamson at 5th.

Guest Post by Dr. Susan Blackmore

I really wish people would stop calling it skunk and refer to its proper name Sinsemilla or the direct translation "without seed"ReplyDelete
Skunk is a myth generated soley by prohibtion. I am 40 and have been smoking since I was about 18. From the day I started smoking weed sinsemilla was widely available in south london. Damn I even went to cornwall in the late 80's and met a man growing sinsemilla in a 90ft poly tunnel.
on the simplest level skunk is just a marketing tool. one strain or variety of the cannabis plant which I believe was first sold by sensi in the late 80's and what UK Cheese is a rare pheno of.
If there is every to be a sensible discussion of cannabis in the UK we really have to drop all these lies and dis-information
An interesting post, thank you.ReplyDelete
Dr Blacknore makes a good point about "strength" (the amount of THC) and "Potency" (the ratio of THC/CBD). Strength is not potency and the two are often confused, especially in the media. There is good evidence that CBD has anti psychotic properties which may be very important in the mental health debate.
However, I strongly suspect she isn't right to suggest "you don't know how much cannabidiol there is in what you smoke" - oh yes you do! The lovely old skool "rocky" hash we used to get was high in CBD - if the Home Office study is to be believed it was close to a 1:1 ratio. Getting stoned on old skool hash was a totally different experience to getting stoned on weed and hash was always preferred over herbal cannabis. I'm not talking about soap bar here, real Moroccan hashish was like a fine wine in my opinion.
Thing is this "traditional" hash was made from low potency (ie high CBD) cannabis. That's why it was made into hash, which is a more concentrated form of cannabis if you like. The cannabis plant used to make Rocky hash was often smoked by locals very casually as "kif" - as a herbal tobacco mixture, not to get stoned with in the way we think of it.
Herbal forms of cannabis have probably always been made from more potent (ie low CBD) strains simply because herbal cannabis contains more inert plant materiel which bulks out the weight, it is less concentrated than hash. Certainly varieties like Thai grass were very, very strong and were probably quite low in CBD content. Getting stoned on these was utterly different to getting stoned on rocky.
It's probably true that some of the newer strains have been selected simply to grow well in artificial light and to produce large buds producing a very large amount of THC. No thought was given to CBD.
To produce varieties like oldskool hash the cannabis needs to be grown on a big scale because the plant is lower potency and so the product isn't suitable for prohibition. Under prohibition the pressure is on to produce a big bang for the buck in a small space with a fast turn around and that means high potency weed.
Dr Blackmore ends up by saying "we need the government to understand that skunk really is something different from old-fashioned good weed and to act accordingly." So-called "Skunk" is simply a high THC low CBD variety of grass, probably not that different to traditional varieties of grass like Thai or Dagga, it's a high THC variety because it's grown to be used as grass. The "old-fashioned good weed" wasn't weed, it was hashish.
Incidentally, all cannabis makes hash and hash made from high potency weed will be high potency hash. Simply because it's hash doesn't mean it's got a good THC/CBD ratio. Also all varieties of cannabis can be grown as sensi - even low THC Ruderallis types, which would produce lots of sticky brown but utterly useless hemp hash.
What Dr Blackmore needs to be highlighting is the whole destructive mess created by global cannabis eradication, which this country has lead the world (along with the USA) in promoting. It is the destruction of the North African hash industry and the long established culture it supported which produced the high CBD hash which caused the market shift here to herbal varieties.
If Dr Blackmore really believes in the importance of encouraging the use of high CBD content hash then it would help if she were more clearly outspoken in her opposition to the prohibition of cannabis and perhaps a bit clearer on the cause of the problem.
Good to read her views though!

back when America had alcohol prohibition the kind of drink people bought was as strong as you could get no matter what the taste. strength was all that mattered. When they ended Prohibition then people were able to buy drink for its taste and strength was a choice. most smokers want to control the high and not spend their lives wreaked out of their minds. If we end prohibition and bring in proper quality control then i think you will find that the super strong cannabis will only be a small amount of the market a bit like the strongest types of alcohol that are around today not everybody wants to drink a full bottle of whiskey for lunch most just like a glass of wine. so the quality control should be down to the government the choice of strength should be with the consumer after they have consulted with a Doctor and that will deal with the unregulated dirt that is being sold right nowReplyDelete
High THC is bred into cannabis, but as far as we can see it does not result in a greater high. I accept that the Government does need to investigate and research all of the genus and for that we need a decriminalised research base, long term users, medical and recreational must feel happy to come forward and take part.ReplyDelete
Our point is that the Government, in rejecting scinetists like prof. Nutt in favour of moralising, is unable to come to a scientific conclusion. For the same reasons they are unable to utilise those multiple medicinal applications that could revolutionise pain relief in the NHS, help those with spasticities and other nervous diseases like MS and reduce some of the liabilities, side effects and knock out potions within pharnmaceutical drugs that lead to many death.

Dr Blackmore is a legend, her radio stuff is essential listening. Also, read her site!!!!! I agree with her broad points on CBD and knowing potency before ingestion, it's often overlooked as an issue. We do need to start bringing this into the fray.ReplyDelete

The reason the Morrocans turned their cannabis into hash, was because they couldnt avoid pollination, and so the only way to produce a product was to convert to hash

New data from the huge ARISTOTLE trial of Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb's anticoagulant Eliquis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) have reinforced the benefits of the drug.
The latest results from the 18,000-patient study - published online on The Lancet's website - indicate that Eliquis (apixaban) was more effective than warfarin at preventing clinical events including stroke, bleeding, and mortality.
In the sub-analysis, the investigators stratified patients for baseline risk using a number of risk-rating scales, but found that Pfizer's drug consistently outperformed warfarin regardless of the patient's risk of stroke or bleeding.
In patients at risk of bleeds the benefit of using Pfizer and BMS' drug was even greater than for those at lower risk, according to the researchers.
That is a major finding, as doctors have to exercise considerable caution when considering anticoagulant therapy in patients with AF, weighing up the risk of thromboembolism with the risk of drug-related bleeding episodes.
To help make that decision, clinicians use a range of measures to gauge patient risk - including CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and HAS-BLED scores - in line with the recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) AF guidelines.
In an editorial accompanying the study, Dr Vassilis Vassiliou and Dr Paul Flynn of Cambridge University NHS Trust note that "after many years of searching, physicians might now face a less agonising choice on behalf of high-risk patients".
Earlier data from the study - which underpinned Pfizer and BMS' marketing applications for Eliquis - demonstrated a 21 per cent reduced risk of stroke or systemic embolism for patients taking Eliquis compared to warfarin, as well as a reduced risk in major bleeding by 31 per cent and mortality by 11 per cent.
The new findings bode well for the commercial prospects of Eliquis, which has already been given a green light in Europe for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in adult patients who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery, and recommended for approval in the AF indication.
Its path to approval in the US has been a little rockier, however, with the FDA asking for more information on data management and verification in the ARISTOTLE trial earlier this year, although a re-filed application has now been accepted with an action date of March 13, 2013.
Eliquis' clinical profile has prompted predictions of blockbuster sales of up to $4bn at peak, representing a large share of an AF market currently estimated at around $9bn a year.
If approved in AF the drug will compete in the marketplace with Johnson & Johnson and Bayer's Xarelto (rivaroxaban) and Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate).

At McGill University in Montreal, the now famous Wilder Penfield experiments took place between 1936-1960. A neurosurgeon, Dr. Penfield had several occasions when delicate brain surgery had to be conducted with a local anaesthetic and the patient, therefore, remained conscious. This gave the opportunity to insert minute electrodes into exposed parts of the cortex, and, by stimulating very small areas with tiny electric impulses, to note the patients' response.
When areas of the motor cortex were stimulated, the patient would predictably show a reflex response - a twitch of a muscle or even the jerk of a limb. Smells, sounds and other physical reactions could be stimulated.
The surprise was that when the temporal cortex (above the ears) was probed, very specific memories were elicited - "as if a movie film suddenly started to roll in my head". Many, indeed most, of these memories were of apparently long forgotten and quite trivial events. A man reported seeing a comparatively unimportant friend he had not thought of, or contacted, since childhood. A woman described hearing her mother call her into the kitchen - a minor incident 30 years previously. Interestingly, even if precisely the same spot was stimulated more than once, the same memory was not evoked, so memory seemed not to be permanently stored in a particular spot in the brain.
These discoveries are echoed by people who have cheated death and who report that their lives flashed before them. They are reinforced by recent work with hypnotised subjects. Under hypnosis patients can recall events in much more vivid detail than they were ever conscious of assimilating in the first place.
In a fascinating series of experiments a women was regressed under hypnosis to age eight. Then she was asked to draw a picture and write a short story describing that picture.
The picture, story, and handwriting were all obviously those of a little girl. What was so remarkable, however, was that the girl's mother was able to produce an identical picture and story written in the identical style of handwriting by the same woman when she actually was an eight year old girl. The recall had been perfect after 20 years.
Other examples of recall under hypnosis are well enough known. It is quite possible to tell the number of stairs in your office or the number of panes in your lounge windows - even though you have never consciously counted them.
Police have asked accident witnesses to volunteer to give evidence under hypnosis. In the normal, conscious, state they were able to give only limited detail. Under hypnosis precise detail of colours, direction and people were recalled.
At the time these details had been subconsciously and subliminally registered, but under the right circumstances the
brain can recall, not just the events on which the conscious mind was focused but the peripheral sounds and sights registered only in the subconscious mind.
A particularly impressive set of experiments has been undertaken at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Using a technique developed with the Bell Laboratories, subjects were exposed to pairs of Random Dot stereogram slides. Each individual slide contained a series of dots with no apparent meaning, but when they were superimposed one on top of the other, they combined to form letters, numbers or symbols.
The researchers first exposed one of the stereogram slides to the left eye. Then, later, the other stereogram was shown to the right eye. The time interval was progressively extended to as long as three days. In order to create the image, subjects had to hold in their memory the dots and their positions, so as to then later match this pattern to that of the second slide. The task required the subconscious memorisation of thousands of tiny dots.
These eidetic image stereograms could be successfully recognised by over half the respondents. Typically subjects needed about ten seconds to create the correct image. This is about the same time as the conscious mind needs to perceive subliminally embedded words in advertisements. The more relaxed the subject, the better the memory recall. However, as Professor Wilson Bryan Key points out in his excellent book, `Subliminal Seduction', which describes the role of the subliminal in advertising, "the perception of subliminal stimuli at the subconscious level appears to be virtually instantaneous and total" (our emphasis).
Professor Key continues: "An individual who wants to utilise a greater part of his brain-stored information, must simply learn how to move information from the unconscious into the conscious level of cognition".
There is no known relationship between photographic memory and intelligence. The sort of regressive hypnosis we have discussed, indicates that almost anyone can recall eidetic images from any stage in their life, but that these are normally available to the subconscious and not conscious mind.
In this case the key to using the natural capacity of the brain must be to "circumvent the conscious control systems that we erect during our formal schooling and allow the greater subconscious capacities to be used".
"It is quite possible", (Professor Key again), "that the education processes of the West may be in effect, limiting man's intelligence by forcing him to repress greater and greater amounts of what he actually perceives. The implications to mankind are enormous, if individuals have innate neurological abilities vastly beyond their apparent conscious levels".
All this is of great significance in creating an ideal presentation for fast easy learning. The impression is being clearly formed amongst today's' psychologists that the brain, as Chris Evans put it "has near infinite storage capacity". Nothing is truly forgotten. The problem seems to be not one of creating memory. We all have the basis of photographic memory. The problem is one of recall. The key may be in the cumbersome word Synaesthesia.

We started off in Westminster to see Parliament (possibly my favourite building in the whole world), before crossing the bridge and having a look at the Millenium Wheel.
What do you love about your city?
I love the atmosphere here on Portobello. Everyones so friendly and chatty. We got great cafes and bars and even clubs. No need to ever leave really :)
I keep coming back the South Bank again and again. There's a pub near Waterloo called the Founders Arms that's right on the river, great for a drink and a chat with friends in the sunshine! x
Ooh, I love your London tourist/tour guide photos!!! Looks like you had such a fun day!
How I love it!
Isn't London the most beautiful city in the world?! It's always good to have visitors because they make us see our every-day surroundings with new eyes.
I'm sure you'd make a superb tourist guide, Sherin! xoxo
Oh, I so love these photographs, Sherin! I need to take a trip to London STAT! :)
Looking forward to visit my second home in sep.
lee x
great day - love all your pics. My husband is from London and we really need to go there so I can see it all through his eyes as well. Such a beautiful city! On another note - we just got the show "My big fat gypsy wedding" over here - have to say its VERY interesting!! Have you seen it?
The pics you shared are amazing! Love it! I love the domes and minarets of my city, and the traditional shopping areas and the malls :D Its past glory can be visibly seen in the architecture and old buildings and the rest of the city is quite urban. :) have a nice day !
Agreed. You are a good tour guide. :)
I loooove the British Museum. It feels so good to be surrounded by things that mean things!
I love seeing places through other people's eyes!
I am always super busy with schoolwork and freelance and work that I rarely stop to explore NYC like I should. That is changing this summer. I love that NYC is never dead...there is always life and things going on and people eveyrwhere. It's an un-lonely city if that makes sense, but it's my dream to get to London and live/work there. Can't wait to visit.
what a great day out. I only started to appreciate london properly in the last year or so and have been trying to make a big effort to visit places i normally wouldn't go to. Trafalgar square is such a nice place to hang out but one of my favourite areas is definitely south bank =)
Bow Dream Nation xx
Ooh, I love this post :)
I've never been to London, but it's on my must-visit list.
I wonder what it says about the two of us that PCH and the palace at Westminster are our favourite places!
I love everything about London! :)
♡ from © tanvii.com
Fab pics, Sherin. The mummies are amazing, aren't they? Kind of mind-blowing. xx
your photos make me jealous that i never get to go to london..im def coming over for fashion week in sept..ill be the little lost country girl in the big smoke!! :) x
I love London and fingers crossed I end up there soon! I've never been to the British Museum actually but I've been to most of the attractions. I visited on Wednesday and had the best time- my fave museum has always been the v&a!
In terms of landmarks, nowhere in Canada can even begin to compete with the UK or Europe... But Vancouver's big selling feature is the ocean and mountains. I used to be able to see both from my office window and it really is spectacular :)
London is definitely in my top ten of places I want to visit! Your so lucky to leave so close!
What lovely photos! You're giving me wanderlust!
i love this post, and i love being a tourist in my own city. it's lovely. i definitely plan to make the most of london over the summer! xx
Fantastic pictures, Sherin! I'd really love to visit London one day.
Unfortunately, I can't say there's anything exciting about where I live. My neighborhood is by the river and is surrounded by woods, corn fields, and soybean fields. Not too fascinating... Lol.
YAY for the British Museum! I have been there so often :P I really like London too, it is a lovely city :)
Maria xxx
Oh! I've never been to London! and this quick photo review is perfect! Lovely photos Sherin!!! Hopefully one day I get to go and visit all this amazing places!
Gorgeous photos, Sherin!
I hope to visit London one day and see these wonderful sights for real. What I love about the city that I live right now is this 11 cent. cathedral which was used as a setting in one of Ken Follet´s books.
Oh, I mean Ken Follett. haha!
Aww so awesome! I've never been :( I want to go!
I've been travelling up and down the country a lot over the past year and every time I come back I'm filled with a new sense of appreciation for the city I live in. It's so beautiful here and I feel so lucky to be able to be a permanent feature!
I love the British Museum especially, I always go there when my boyfriend comes to visit cuz he wants to work there one day! X

This day we went to the New England Aquarium. I really loved it! First we saw the penguins being fed, and then looked at all the fish in the tanks. The unhatched sharks illuminated in their pods were so strange, but cute in a weird way. I really liked the jellyfishes - they look so graceful and regal, and one species looked like it had electricity flowing through it. I took some photos, but only a few as the aquarium was really dark.

After that we got on the bus again and went to the USS Constitution, which is a very old pirate ship. She's a beautiful ship, but there wasn't much to do there so we got bored and went.
Then we went to the Children's Museum, which most of us found boring as it was mainly aimed at children, but it was nice because Luke seemed to enjoy it. There were drawers filled with beautiful rocks, taxidermy birds and stuffed insects, and I just thought it was stunning. Dad said it was like my bedroom at home, as I collected taxidermy bugs and rocks as a small child. If I had the opportunity to collect taxidermy birds, I have to admit that I would have...

"We are concerned the leadership of the CPUC is in the pocket of the utility company it is supposed to regulate," San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said.
San Bruno officials requested records of CPUC's relationship with PG&E more than 10 months ago under the California Public Records Act, which requires state agencies to respond to requests within a 10-day period. However, the lawsuit claims, CPUC failed to turn over documents in a timely manner — or, in some cases, ever — and often failed to respond within the 10-day period. Instead, according to the lawsuit, the commission claimed it would respond when employees had free time to do so.
The commission's response "makes a mockery of the value of public participation within its own government," according to the lawsuit.
The city's relationship with the commission became increasingly testy during disputes over the fine PG&E would pay as penalty for the blast. CPUC initially argued that improvements made by PG&E should be deducted from its total fine, while the city pressed for hefty fines.
To prove its claim that CPUC tried to impose lax penalties on the utility, San Bruno officials sought internal e-mails and other documentation from the commission.
"More than two years ago, federal investigators identified the too-cozy relationship between PG&E and the CPUC," said Marc Zafferano, San Bruno's city attorney. "We believe these records are critical to demonstrating whether any real reform has occurred since that time."
But the CPUC argues that it has the right to withhold the documents under the deliberative process privilege exemption of the Public Records Act. This exemption, imposed by the California Supreme Court in 1991, protects records that would reveal agency decision-making processes from disclosure. According to the Supreme Court decision, "the key question in every case is whether disclosure of the materials would expose an agency's decision-making process in such a way as to discourage candid discussion with the agency and thereby undermine the agency's ability to perform its functions."

Jeremy Pacatiw vows to raise the flag of Philippines at Brave Combat Federation in Brazil
Jeremy Pacatiw is the face of the next generation of rising mixed martial arts stars from Philippines. Never did it feel for many that Jeremy will bounce back from the defeat at the second edition of Brave against Hamza Kooheji of Bahrain. But he proved the experts wrong by being unstoppable after his comeback victory against the veteran Chaitanya Gavali from Team Relentless at Brave 5: Go for Glory in Mumbai, India. Not only did Pacatiw bounced back from his previous loss, but also had dominated and won the match in style against a much stronger and experienced opponent. The 21-year old prospect from Team Lackay is currently signed with the Bahrain based Brave Combat Federation.
Jeremy Pacatiw will be competing in the eighth edition of Brave in Curitiba, Brazil on 12th August, 2017. He will be facing Thiago Dela Coleta from Curitiba, Brazil. Apart from having a clear hometown advantage, Thiago is a skilled grappler and a fierce striker. But in the latest interview that Jeremy gave for the media, he is confident of raising the flag of Philippines in Brazil.
"I feel very proud to represent Philippines in Brazil. The reaction that I got from Philippines when I won a tough fight in short notice was overwhelming. Win or lose, I know that Philippines is there always to encourage, motivate and support me. That is my strength. I am proud of the culture of Philippines that teaches you to depend on your efforts relentlessly till you achieve your goals.", replied Jeremy.
Jeremy Pacatiw is the first Filipino fighter introduced to Brazil by Brave Combat Federation. Brave Combat Federation had previously announced that Philippines is one among the geolocations that will be targeted to develop mixed martial arts and the home to the future prospects of the sport. "My fight against Chaitanya Gavali was important in a way that it showed to the fans that I am capable of improving and it gave me another opportunity to compete again in BRAVE. I visualise when my fight culminating in a victory. This gives me strength. This time I am well prepared and confident despite who the opponent will be.", added Jeremy.
When asked about his future plans Pacatiw was precise to take his popularity towards a social goal he had been cherishing for a long time. "My aim as an MMA fighter is to influence the society and to drive a change for good. I have plans to encourage the youth to train mixed martial arts to cultivate a strong work ethic and culture that separate them from an unhealthy lifestyle and addictions that is haunting the lower income group in the society. I would also focus more on training myself into a better fighter and individual my nation could really be proud about.", concluded Jeremy.

Diego Costa has no interest in leaving Chelsea to move to China, according to reports.
Spanish striker Costa has been dropped for the Premier League leaders' trip to Leicester in Saturday's late game after a row with one of his coaching staff, Julio Tous.
And Chelsea fear the hot-headed striker's head has been turned by the opportunity to earn huge sums of money in the Chinese Super League.
Chelsea are aware that at least two clubs in China have made huge offers to Costa's representatives in a bid to lure him away from the Premier League.
He has not trained with the main squad for nearly a week following the bust-up which has thrown his Stamford Bridge future into doubt.
And his agent Jorge Mendes has been pictured with the president of Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian.
However, Brazilian ESPN journalist Joao Castelo-Branco, who works in London, claims to have the inside track on Costa's situation and says he is not interested in a move to China at this stage of his career.
He wrote on Twitter: "Exclusive: Costa said he has no interest in China at the moment."
The 28-year-old is the Premier League's top scorer so far with 14 goals and manager Antonio Conte's man-management has been praised for getting the best out of the player.
But the relationship has fallen apart after Costa's representatives told their player of the incredible offer from China - believed to be worth an astonishing £570,000-a-week - and he argued with coach Tous.
The league leaders are five points clear at the top but their 13-match winning streak was ended by Spurs last week.
Conte could now revert to using Eden Hazard in the centre-forward position as he did in Chelsea's impressive 3-0 win over Bournemouth last month.

Char siu-the finale
I also include this photo of the very high tech BBQ starter that we used to move things along.
There cherry preserves add a very nice fruity flavor while enhancing the red and shine typical of this recipe. The meat was tender and had a range of sweet, salty and savory flavors. Here it is marinading, we ended up vacuum packing this for 36 hours, which I think gives it better flavor. This is a dish that if you can go more than one day, it gets better.
Off the kettle and waiting for the knife.
The finished product.

Is that a new Stoker, or a Guru? I haven't seen a brown one like that ;)ReplyDelete
I love cherry with pork. I do half/half cherry preserves with a spicy bbq sauce as a finishing sauce for when I want wet ribs.
How was the texture of the meat? More like roast than butt?
More like roast, although, I have a plan that includes this recipe and a whole butt. It is also good with tenderloin and sirloin.ReplyDelete
I can attest to the flavor of this char siu. The outer texture wasn't quite chewy enough though. Hey Bob, mix your spices and a bit of your wet flavoring with salt and pack it around the pork. Perhaps a little surface drying might give it the chewy outside texture. Perhaps you should hang the charsiu in an outhouse smoker for a quick drying smoke.ReplyDelete

It's that damn cliff/bank. It is so crazy. I've decided the least boring way is to do it as briefly as possible. [postscript - I really really tried to do it briefly, but it didn't pan out that way...apologies for the length, the ranty-ness, the numbers, the lack of humour...] Here's a summary of the History of our Bank.
August 2010 - record breaking rainfall, and a landslide occurs behind the house. A Large Engineering Firm designs a remediation strategy - estimated to cost about $140,000. The recommendation for this work is being processed when....
February 2011 - record breaking earthquake occurs, loess (that's not a typo - google it) detaches and tumbles down, large tension cracks appear at the top of the cliff. We move out, as logic tells us that sitting beneath this monster of a cliff, with hundreds of aftershocks occurring daily, is probably a bad idea.
April 2011 - one of Christchurch's most respected geotechnical engineers (let's call him David) visits our property and advises us not to occupy the house until several urgent remedial steps are taken to prevent further 'subsidence' of the cliff.
April 2011 - December 2012 - I phone the EQC weekly for updates on the situation. I am variously told that:
- the cliff will be repaired (using the strategy previously outlined by the Large Engineering Firm)
- there is imminent risk that the cliff will suffer significant collapse in the near future
- there is not imminent risk that the cliff will suffer significant collapse
- that we will get paid $140,000 to fix the cliff ourselves
- a full information pack is to be sent out this month (early 2012) to all landowners with claims
- that we will get paid the value of the land which was inundated by soil
- a full information pack is to be sent out by the end of August 2012 to all landowners with claims
- that we will get paid nothing
- a full information pack is to be sent out before Christmas 2012 to all landowners with claims
20 December 2012 - our 'information pack' arrives. Read all about it here.
January 2013 - getting fed up (I'm a pretty patient little lady), I request all the documentation relating to our land claim, under the Official Information Act (which is the only way the poor peeps of Christchurch were able to see any kind of paperwork relating to our claims). I am told it will take 21 working days to be processed.
23 May 2013 - I don't need a maths degree to tell me that this is significantly longer than 21 working days later..... our paperwork arrives. Included are a large number of outdated photographs (from more than two years previously) of damage that has subsequently worsened. Also included are a series of reports relating to possible remediation strategies (including the aforementioned $140,00 option proposed by the Large Engineering Firm), estimates of costs of said strategies, and a recommendation for payment.
One of the pages, dated 7 January 2013, states that 'imminent risk no longer exists as there has been more than 4 seasons of normal weather conditions since the event that gave rise to the claim'. WTF? It also recommends that we are paid $2,860.85 in total - the estimated cost for contractors to come and take away the land that has fallen down around our house. I repeat - W.T.F! So, somewhere along the way, they reckon that we're clear, that the cliff isn't going to fall on us, despite the large tension cracks (which basically represent huge chunks of land just awaiting collapse) that sit at the top. And, meanwhile, the poor people who own the house at the top of the cliff, certainly aren't allowed to consider rebuilding up there - it's not safe enough for them, but it's ok for us to sit down the bottom??
Understandably, I was a bit dismayed/freaked out/perturbed/confused/angry about this information. This wasn't helped by a subsequent phone call to the EQC, where the woman at the other end of the phone cheerfully told me that I was going to get a cheque for over $2000! I politely asked her where I was supposed to find the other $138,000 required to actually stop the cliff falling on us.
And then shit just starts to get random (I know - and this is the short version of events).
20 October 2013 A letter entitled "Your land claim settlement" arrives. I am nervous. The first thing I notice is a cheque. The second thing I notice is that it is for $8,550. Confused, I read on. There are more copies of the old photos of our cliff, and there is an excel spreadsheet with a series of numbers, and some kind of calculations, the bottom line of which is $8,550.
I take the cheque and immediately deposit it into our bank account. I am furious at myself for thinking that getting less than $10,000 for a $140,000 problem might be adequate.
I get really mad.
I briefly consider going back to the EQC and appealing the payment - I have fantasies of taking them to court, and being triumphant.
I realise that would be expensive. And probably futile. I worry that if I appeal they might say that they only meant to pay me $2000 and I need to give $6000 back. I think of all the people worse of than us. I get depressed.
I get resigned. I give up.
Someone recommends an engineer (lets call him Endel), and I ask him to come and look, and help us to design and build our own wall - a compromise. We can't afford to stop the bank falling down, but we can hopefully build something that stops it annihilating our house, or killing our child, when it eventually does.
Last week - the engineer came. He sat at our dining table and waded through the one hundred pages of EQC crap. He understood more than I did. He was as confused as I was as to why they suddenly decided there was 'no imminent risk'. He agreed that the entire reason the EQC exists is to help people like us repair land issues like that. He agreed that an appeal would probably be futile. He understood that we cannot financially afford to stop the cliff falling. He drew some pictures of some structures that might help protect us when it does. He was a Helpful Engineer. He didn't laugh when I told him our budget. He was relieved that I realised that the cheque we got from EQC wasn't going to come close to building anything. He seemed sensitive to the fact that we will have to increase our mortgage significantly to pay for it. He has gone away to have a think about it, and to come up with a solution to our problem.
For the first time since August 2010, I am actually feeling slightly optimistic about our land. Slightly.

In addition, the Rock Island was south of us. It was the first railroad to have a bridge across the Mississippi river back in the 1850s. By the 1970s it too was running on a cash shoestring and looked it. The Illinois Central ran north of us, along the Wisconsin border. The Chicago North Western ran west through Illinois and Iowa on its way to Omaha, and its connection to the Union Pacific (the first transcontinental railroad).
A local road that occasionally gets overlooked is the Chicago Great Western, which was in existence from the 1880s to 1967, when it merged with the Chicago North Western.
The CGW was a latecomer to the Midwest railroad arena and as such didn't have access to the best terrain or most direct routes between major cities. It crossed through some of the hilliest terrain in the Driftless Area and had to bore through the river bluffs near Galena with the Winston Tunnel. It had numerous branches in Iowa, as did most of the other Midwestern railroads. I believe that in the early 1900s, no place in Iowa was more than 20 miles from some rail line. Since a team pulling a grain wagon could cover 20-some miles in a day, the strategic placement of rail branches made perfect economic sense.
By the middle of the 20th Century, trucks began to haul all that grain, and the growth of the highway system took a lot of passengers and freight away from the rails. Those railroads burdened with a lot of (now) light traffic-density branches and no direct lines between major cities were the first to fall into bankruptcy and merger. So went the CGW. After the merger with CNW, the North Western pulled up a lot of the lines they didn't want or need. By the 1980s, most traces of the old railroad were gone.
The hub of the Chicago Great Western was the city of Oelwein, Iowa. Its lines to Chicago, Minneapolis, and Kansas City all merged there. The main engine and car shops were located there, and the North Western did keep these shops going until its own merger with the Union Pacific in the mid 1990s.
Most of the rail jobs are long gone now, and the UP runs through Oelwein these days instead of stopping. But there are a few people in town trying to keep the heritage alive with the Hub City Railroad Museum, located in the old Oelwein Yard Offices. This is where your correspondent took a day trip last Saturday.
The museum has a decent collection of old employee records, pictures, and small equipment. The museum does a good job of showing the CGW's influence in Oelwein.
A lot of the pictures and equipment aren't shown in any coherent order, and the few pieces of rolling stock they own are in somewhat sad shape. That isn't anyone's fault, really. The museum is run by volunteers, most of them getting up in years. It's a classic case of too few hands and too many projects and not enough visitors to fund said projects. It's a shame, but all too common.
Probably the centerpiece of the museum rolling stock is an old F7 locomotive. General Motors' E and F series were most railroads' first purchase of diesel road power. They're something of an iconic design in 20th Century industrial equipment and have been on many US and foreign rosters. Even today, the F7 can be seen occasionally hauling museum passenger trains, commuter trains, and business trains for the major railroads. They weren't extremely popular with road crews (they weren't easy to climb up into), or maintenance crews (major engine work meant removing a good portion of the carbody), but the things still look cool!
From the outside, she looks resplendent in crimson and black with yellow lettering. This is how she'd have looked pulling a long freight up across the hills and plains on her way to Chicago or the Twin Cities or down to KC.
We'll climb the stairs and go in through the vestibule door in the rear of the engine.
The powerplant-an EMD16-567B 16-cylinder diesel engine, producing 1500 horsepower. Fairbanks-Morse made a similar design for its locomotives-but a person would be more likely to see one on a fleet submarine from the World War II era. F-M produced its 16 cylinder diesel in trainloads for the Navy. Even today, a nuclear submarine carries a similar engine for last-ditch, emergency use. But I digress.
At the nose of the engine is, of course, the head office-the control station. Until the 1980s, a freight train carried a crew of five, three in the engine (engineer, fireman, brakeman) and two in the caboose (rear brakeman, conductor). Nowadays the average crew is two. So the engine has three seats-one for the engineer who actually did work, and two for the relatively useless fireman and brakeman.
This would be view from the engineer's seat:
The interior is, to put it kindly, in rough shape. Certainly not beyond restoration, but needs some serious work.
Like military vehicles, railroad museum engines and rolling stock should be kept under some sort of cover. This F7 would do well in a shed, with the interior refurbished and monitored to keep the riff-raff from stealing stuff and ripping the engine up, or traded to another railroad museum that could keep her up properly.
In short, as a city museum featuring their railroad history-not bad. As a railroad museum-not so good, but still a good collection of a 'fallen flag' road.
yankeedog out.

Well? Isn't it beautiful?...err...yeah! So, listening to this awesome song while doing a Fan Fic update filled with Final Fantasy luving seems so appropriate, don't you think? I absolutely adored Final Fantasy X and now with FF X-2 getting some spotlight time, I'm all giddy inside. Yuna + 2 guns = Happy Timmy.
And Final Fantasy Tactics Advance...Final Fantasy Chronicles...I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot more Final Fantasy Fan Fics, and hey, I don't mind at all, just please proofread your work before forcing me to go through your writing looking for grammar mistakes instead of enjoying the plot you've weaved.
Anyway, the next chapter in Weiila's great love story entitled "Rydia and Edge", based on the classic Final Fantasy II/IVj, is up and I'm sure you're all wondering what will happen to Edge as he struggles to stay alive just long enough to open his heart, and mouth for that matter, to Rydia...but does he succeed? I'm not telling!!
Last week you were introduced to Kiley in "Spiral" based on the wonderful Final Fantasy X. This great blitzball player has a shadowy past, but is her future doomed as well? Read on and find out!
Another Fan Fic based on Final Fantasy, I'm told that this will be a FFMIX of sorts, so be prepared for some twists and turns in the future for this first instalment of "Lifestream".
So, send me some of your Fan Fics and show me what you can do with a little bit of imagination. Check out the Fan Fic FAQ for all you'll need to know in order to submit your work into me. And please remember to proofread your work so that I can spend more time enjoying your story and less editing it.
Thank you again for all the support that you've shown, I truly do appreciate all the hard work you've done.

After a couple of recent contentious meetings of the County's Trails Advisory Committee and the Railroad Advisory Committee, it seemed clear that some new steps would be taken at the legislative level related to the proposed Ulster County Rail Trail Project, which overlaps in Kingston with our Kingston Greenline initiative and would create a rail trail from Midtown to the Ashokan Reservoir.
Last week, Legislator Lynn Archer, D-Accord, along with other co-sponsors in the Economic Development and Finance Committee, put forward a resolution (Resolution 275) that would clarify the legislature's position with regard to the long-debated Rail and Trail proposals. According to the resolution, the County would "support a segmented rail with trail plan to convert the U&D corridor to a rail trail only in the segment between Kingston and Boiceville," while continuing a tourist railroad operation west of the Ashokan reservoir.
This resolution puts the County Legislature's position squarely in alignment with the County Executive's proposal and we are calling on all trail supporters throughout the County to speak up in favor of Resolution 275. This is a crucial moment, where the common-sense compromise solution – a segmented Rail and Trail approach – can finally be adopted. Despite the CMRR's best intentions, the best option for the corridor is a trail from Kingston to Boiceville and a tourist train west of Boiceville to Phoenicia.
Please call your County Legislator to tell them you support Resolution 275, which presents a win-win compromise that preserves a scenic tourist train while opening up the U&D railroad corridor for free, active use by all!

Delta Airlines bans shipments of hunting trophies sign now
Last year, more than a thousand rhinos were poached in South Africa, elephant populations have plummeted 66% in just five years, and the export of lion "trophies" has increased ten-fold--hunters bringing home animals' heads and bodies to stuff and mount. In response to such threats, South African Airways has declared an immediate, worldwide ban on transporting any hunting trophies made from rhinos, lions, elephants, and tigers. Now I need your support to ask Delta Air Lines to match this policy and refuse to transport exotic animal hunting trophies!
South African Airways made it clear this ban applies to all such hunting trophies, without exception, "even if the shipper has a valid permit issued by the relevant authorities." "With the depletion to near extinction of wildlife that once roamed in prolific numbers," there is no justifying the slaughter of such incredible animals for sport and vanity.
But for South African Airways' embargo to have the most effective result in saving animals' lives, it is imperative that the hunting trophy transport ban is honored across all air carriers.
As one of the world's largest airlines, and the only U.S. carrier with direct service to South Africa, Delta Air Lines is in a key position to help protect these and other vulnerable wild animal populations from further hunting and poaching pressures.
By refusing to play a role in the wildlife trafficking supply chain, Delta Air Lines can demonstrate the strong and ethical leadership that has made it such a successful and respected company. More importantly, Delta will be preserving a valuable natural resource that provides one of the primary reasons customers choose to fly Delta to visit Africa and other wilderness destinations. As a loyal, "Diamond Medallion" Delta customer who has logged over 650,000 miles with the company, I can attest that Ecotourism now accounts for a full 12 percent of GDP in some African countries.
As the Legislative Director for a national animal protection organization, I also am acutely aware how over-hunting has devastated threatened and endangered species. It is a tragic circumstance driven almost exclusively by the $20 billion illicit trade in imperiled animal body parts.
So join me in asking CEO Richard Anderson to show the world that Delta cares by doing its part and refusing to transport exotic animal hunting trophies.

Archive Photos: Alton Bus Wreck
Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:41:42 GMT —
A park in the Lower Rio Grande Valley serves as a reminder of when a school bus went into a water-filled pit in a wreck that left 21 children dead.
Monday was the 20th anniversary of the devastating school bus accident in Alton. It was Sept. 21, 1989, when a school bus carrying 81 children and a soft drink truck collided.
The bus plummeted into a caliche pit.
Emergency personnel used rescue boats to help reach the dozens of survivors.
Alton received a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission to help construct a memorial park. The complex was built in 2004.
Alton is a town of about 8,700, located 70 miles northwest of Brownsville.
Mission CISD sent us the wording used in a plaque that hangs inside Alton Memorial Junior High School reads:
This campus is dedicated to the memory of the young lives that were lost as a result of a bus accident on the morning of September 21, 1989 as they were on their way to school. In selecting the name of Alton Memorial Junior High School, it was the intention of the Mission CISD Board of Trustees and the community to remember the following children and to celebrate their lives and the positive impact they had on their families, friends, schools and community. Dedicated on this 21st day of September 2003

I would like to know how far the light of this LED can reach to IR-Receiver. If I can find things like 'Light intensity', can I calculate the distance?

You might need a few to get any appreciable level of illumination at further distances. Compare it if you will to dedicated security cameras. Their IR illuminators are generally a whole array of IR LEDs. Keep the above comment by dr.light in mind, though - 850nm does work better with cameras. SFE (still) doesn't have those back in stock, though :)

I think using these to build an 'invisible light' flashlight with my daughter would be a really fun evening science project. Anyone know if these are a viable way to illuminate a dark scene viewed through an iPhone Camera?

aMeyer:
 The 940-950nm is too long of a wavelength to be picked up well by IR cameras. Most IR cameras are most sensitive to the 850nm (or "almost red") area.

 couldnt you use a ps3 eye, OEM lense modded, with the correct bandpass filter installed?
 at any rate - 850 does perform a lot better - ive tested a number of ranges of IR over the past mos and ive settled on using 850nm LEDS and had some success with 780nm lasers…the 850 were out of stock from a supplier, and almost $30.00 more expensive!

Just a note: On the front page they listed Multi-Touch tables as a possible use for this IR LED. You actually would not want to use this for that.
 The 940-950nm is too long of a wavelength to be picked up well by IR cameras. Most IR cameras are most sensitive to the 850nm (or "almost red") area.
 But this is what you would want for a remote control.

A great dentist with a great team! They are responsive and consistently provide excellent care in a warm and friendly environment. This is the experience my family and I have received over the past 20 plus years with Dr. William Schluter and his team.
Rosa Kelson Placentia
I've been a patient of Dr. Schluter for at least 20 years as have several members of my family. I wouldn't consider going anywheere else. Dr. Schluter is a true professional in his field. He is very knowledgeable and stays up on new treatment options within the field of dentistry and has upgraded his equipment to reflect changes in dental practice.
I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone of any age - my daughter "grew up" with him and my grandmother was a loyal patient of his practice.
On a personal level, Dr. Schluter is a great guy with a great sense of humor. His office staff are all first rate - from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dental assistants and they have been with Dr. Schluter for many years. They all make a visit to the dentist a pleasure, indeed!

Long Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care Insurance is more than just ordinary retirement planning. It removes the worry of having to earmark your nest egg for the uncertainty of needing care, so you can enjoy doing the things that make you happy.
- Harvard Magazine says that women are living an average of 81.4 years and men are living an average of 76.8 years. Advancements in medicine increase the chance that a person will need long term health care. More LTC statistics.
- New England Journal of Medicinereports that about 51% of people 65 years and older will eventually need these services.
- The Wall Street Journal states that a staggering 55% of seniors 85 and older have Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia, the number one reason for needing assistance. WSJ also reports that even children are buying policies for their parents to protect their inheritance.
Longevity Increases Need.
Modern health technology is helping the average United States citizen live a longer life. This extended longevity is increasing the likelihood a person will need Long Term Care services at some point during their life. In addition to Alzheimer s and dementia, there are other degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart problems, cancer, Parkinson s disease as well as accidents and injuries resulting in things like bone fractures which may also create the need for services. Long Term Care Insurance can help pay for the cost of caring for those conditions so you will have peace of mind knowing you are protected if it were to happen to you.
What Does Long Term Care Insurance Pay For?
Your Long Term Care Insurance benefits can be used to pay for Home Health Care, Assisted Living Facilities, Adult Day Care and Nursing Homes. In fact, 72% of all LTC claims are paid for Home Health Care. This service is where an aide comes into your home to help with with your Activities of Daily Living and also provide help with cooking and cleaning. Long Term Care Insurance will help ensure you will be able to stay in your own home to receive care.
The problem: The high cost of needing Long Term Care could drain your life savings.
When planning, consider the high average annual cost of receiving Long Term Care:
- Nursing Home $86,525
- Assisted Living Facility $46,880
- Home Care $42,215
The solution: Plan ahead with Long Term Care Insurance.
The high cost of receiving Long Term Care can erode your nest egg that you have worked so hard to save. The average stay in a nursing home is now 3.3 years. That length of time adds up to an average cost of $285,532 per person or $571,065 for a married couple. That high expense is figured at today s costs and inflation will likely triple that cost in the next 30 years. The plan will have inflation protection so your benefits do not lose purchasing power over time.
What if you could protect yourself from the greatest financial risk you will face in your retirement? Having Long Term Care Insurance coverage can save your nest egg and your retirement. Imagine how relaxed you ll feel knowing that you planned ahead and now you and your family are protected.
LTC Tree s assistance was invaluable in helping us decide which Long Term Care Insurance policy was best for us, while saving us money and providing peace of mind. -Kelly W. More Testimonials

MicroSD cards are now the dominant storage expansion medium in today's devices. Officially known as micro secure digital cards, these can offer as much as 128GB of additional space, depending on the model or brand. Some have even higher write speeds to keep up with the high capacities offered.
Given the different kinds of microSD cards, how does one choose the right one for their device? Let's take a look at a few important terms to know when buying one.
Capacity Classes
MicroSD Cards are now classified according to three main types according to capacity. These are the following:
- SD – These are the regular cards with a maximum capacity of 2GB.
- SDHC – Otherwise known as the "high capacity," these can store up to at least 32GB.
- SDXC –Known as the Secure Digital eXtra Capacity cards, these can store up to 2TB worth of data. This capacity makes it ideal for use in devices like video cameras and high-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7.
These three kinds may or may not be compatible with your device. As a general rule, devices that can use microSD Cards are backwards compatible. For example, an SDXC-compatible device can use SDHC and SD cards. On the other hand, an SDHC-compatible device can only use the older SDHC and SD cards.
Speed Classes
As with the capacity classes, microSD cards are also classified according to speed, according to the SD Association. These speed classifications refer to the absolute minimum sustained write speeds. It's important to note that these are the minimum, so it's entirely possible a card can achieve faster speeds depending on the type of USB connection you have. As a rule of thumb, the cards are labelled according to the speeds they can write with.
- Speed Class – These can come in the Default Speed and High Speed modes (DS and HS, respectively) and can be marked with a Class 2, 4, 6 or 10 label. Class 2 cards start with 2MB per second, while Class 10 cards—the highest—can range up to 10MB per second.
- Ultra High Speed (UHS) Class – The UHS Speed Class is labeled with either a 1 or 3 inside of a bucket U symbol for higher capacity SD Cards. These can come in speeds starting from 10MB per second and can go up to 30MB per second. As a rule of thumb, 4K-capable camcorders will usually require at least a U3 rated SD card.
- Video Speed Class (VSC) – The newest class of SD Cards, which come in 5 speed labels: V6 for 6MB per second, V10 for 10MB, V30 for 30MB, V60 for 60MB, and V90 for 90MB per second. These cards are optimized for use on video or action cameras like the GoPro.
Usually, the VSC cards are ideal for HD videos for up to 8K due to their fast writing speeds and high capacities.
For other cameras like the Sony HDR-AS50 Action Camera, you can only use the ones made exclusively by Sony to ensure maximum compatibility. These include the XQD G Series Memory Card for faster speeds and clearer quality images.
It's also important to note that the Speed Class, UHS Speed Class, and Video Speed Class have no compatibility issues with card capacities. For example, even an SDHC card like the 32GB SanDisk Extreme Plus can be classified as a U1 card. This allows it to be used on cameras or even smartphones that have high-end cameras.
How do you choose the right one?
There are just two steps to take when choosing your next microSD Card. The first step is to check the manufacturer's manual or the packaging of your device. This is to see the types of microSD card your gadget can support. Some smartphones like the Sony Xperia Z5may support SDXC Cards, while the Samsung Galaxy J1 can only use SDHC or SD Cards.
Once you have this information, the next thing to check is the read and write speeds of the card you want to get. If you're not the type who needs to record HD videos in 4K, a Class 6 will usually suffice.
A faster rated card could still help if you're looking to expand the storage in a smartphone or tablet, as this can make the device more responsive. As an added benefit, faster types like a Class 10 card can allow you to take faster photos in burst mode and transfer files quicker. Depending on your choices, an extra investment might be worth the price.
Now that you know the different types of microSD cards, you'll never make the mistake of getting one that's too slow or small for your needs.

Old Maid Swamp
The earliest travelers to the region had to deal with tough travel conditions taking rarely traveled paths, Indian trails or even blazing trails of their own through the dense forests and swamps. One of the most famous obstacle in Eaton County was that of Old Maid Swamp, which stretched for miles across Benton, Windsor, Oneida and Delta Townships. Described by the Lansing State Journal as "a dense swamp of small growth timber, underbrush, water and blacksnakes, mosquitoes and malaria covering thousands of acres and man miles in extent. At that time [1860's] the swamp was looked upon as not only entirely worthless, but as a menace for the future of all the surrounding country.
The early settlers only had a handful of possible routes to reach Delta Township, so most early travelers would have to combat this "desolate locality". Some, like the second family of settlers to Delta Township, Mr. Elihu Lewis and his family, became lost for several days. Before finding their way from the swamp, Lewis' son-in-law, Mr. Billings, had to leave their party to make two separate trips to find assistance before finally happening upon the Ingersolls. Others described their trip through the swamp as a "very lonely affair and the horrors of the place were about equally divided in his imagination in fear between blacksnakes, wolves and his companion (3)."
The Old Maid Swamp "received its name from the fact that an eastern woman, who had saved some money, sent it west for investment in Eaton county land and the location made by her agent was in the density of a large tamarack swamp (4)." Another report claimed the land was purchased when "two unmarried women in the East were persuaded by sharks to invest "unsight unseen" in some of this desolateness. Then everyone laughed at their investment now the property is among the most valuable between West Windsor and Potterville (2)."
The process of draining the swamp may have begun as early as the 1860's with the main drainage occurring through the Thornapple and Old Maid Drain. Progress was slow and a major portion of the swamp still remained well into the 1950's, but once drained and cleared the swamp which proved so formidable to early travelers was transformed into some of the richest farm land in the county. According to a U.S. Soil Survey conducted in 1923 the swamp was made up of large patches of Carlisle Muck. This particular soil "is the most important type of organic soil in Eaton County both in extent an in agricultural worth. It is estimated that about 70 per cent of the organic soils of the county are included in this type (5)." By 1923 portions of the swamp had been cleared and about 50-60% of the swamp was being used for farm land with "the principal crops are mint onions and cabbage with some carrots turnips celery cauliflower sugar beets and potatoes (5)."
While travel through the swamp was always difficult small improvements began to be implemented in the 1860's when a two mile road was built through the swamp. Although, it was only "made of logs and was called a "corduroy" road. It was not covered with dirt for several years, but served, after a fashion, as a very slow going highway. (3)" By 1912, a proper macadamized road had been laid running down what is now Lansing Road from Lansing to Charlotte and made for much easier travel, especially for the relatively new automobiles that were adventuring through the countryside (2).
