Born in Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships, in 1945, Pierre DesRuisseaux graduated from the Université de Montréal in philosophy. He was successively an editorial writer for regional and national weeklies, including Le petit journal, a proofreader and a foreign correspondent (Middle East) for the magazine Sept-Jours. Mr. DesRuisseaux died in 2016.
Mr. DesRuisseaux has published 14 collections of his poetry. His first book of poems, Lettres, published by Hexagone in 1979, was greeted as a revelation in Quebec’s literary world. In 1989, Monème earned Canada’s highest literary honour, the Governor General’s Award.
Another of his books, Le noyau, was described by Louise Proulx in Livres et auteurs québécois as an extraordinary mingling of philosophy, semantics, literature, politics and poetry. His work has frequently been read on Radio-Canada and published in a number of Quebec and foreign literary reviews. He has written on popular culture in Quebec, including the Livre des proverbes québécois and the Dictionnaire des expressions québécoises; the latter was chosen by the Association pour l’éducation interculturelle du Québec (AÉIQ) as one of 21 works that are representative of Quebec’s collective identity. Pierre DesRuisseaux is also the editor of the Dictionnaire des proverbes québécois, which Simon Fraser University’s Centre de ressources francophone called an invaluable tool for all teachers who want to teach their pupils more than language skills. Among his other books are works on sayings and popular beliefs and practices, as well as an anthology of traditional North American Aboriginal poetry (Hymnes à la Grande Terre).
A certified translator (English, Spanish) with the Canada Council for the Arts since 1983 and with the federal Translation Bureau since 1984, he has translated the Popol Vuh, the Maya-Quiché holy scriptures, from Spanish to French in collaboration with Daisy Amaya (published by VLB, Le Castor Astral, Montreal and Paris), and Gabriel Dumont, in collaboration with François Lanctôt, for which he won the Canada Council’s Translation Award in 1986.
In 1995, Triptyque released his bilingual anthology of 25 English-Canadian poets, Contre taille, which was nominated for the Governor General’s Literary Award the following year. In 1997, Mr. DesRuisseaux published a translation of a collection of poems by Louis Dudek, leader of the Montreal school of English-language poetry, called Dudek, l’essentiel, with an introduction by Michael Gnarowski. In March 2000, Triptyque released his critical anthology of some 31 Anglo-Quebec poets, entitled Co incidences : poètes anglophones du Québec, with a preface by Ken Norris. He is continuing to research popular culture, popular poetry and ethnolinguistic studies. Cited in a number of national and foreign anthologies, Pierre DesRuisseaux publishes both fiction and verse through a number of publishers, in Quebec and abroad. He has taken part in literary festivals and events (Festival franco-anglais de poésie, lecture, Centre d’action poétique, France) and collaborates regularly on Canadian and foreign literary reviews, including Ruptures (translations from the Spanish and fiction), Sud (France), The Revue, Osiris (U.S.), Estuaire, Liberté and The Review (U.K.).

Keith and Michael Jeffery of Atlas Genius.
Australian indie-rock band Atlas Genius are in the midst of a North American tour in support of their first album, When It Was Now, and are growing accustomed to the grind of the road on a tour bus — but for the followup to their breakout debut, they’ve been drawing inspiration from the many places they’ve encountered along the way.
Atlas Genius formed in 2009, with Jeffery and his brothers, Michael and Steven, clearing out their parents’ garage to build a home studio. In 2011, the band released their debut single “Trojans,” which became a hit with bloggers and on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation channel. In 2012, the band signed to Warner Bros. where they began touring with the likes of Silversun Pickups and Imagine Dragons.

If you want to look snazzy at your next outing or party, you absolutely have to be sure you’re wearing one of the most important accessories for a man in a suit – cufflinks.
Cufflinks are the perfect way for men to sneak some fashion and their own unique taste into their outfit. With their intricate designs, colors, and materials, you can upgrade your entire outfit with just two delicate studs. But, you have to make sure you know how to wear them before you decide to include them while getting ready for your next big event.
Preparing for your next event shouldn’t be slowed down by not knowing how to put on cufflinks appropriately. Luckily, putting them on is even easier than tying a tie. Here’s the simple steps to putting on cufflinks.
If you’re planning to fold your cuffs (more likely in a more formal situation, which we’ll get into next), be sure to fold your cuffs before you begin.
Push the back of the cufflink through the outside buttonhole.
Be sure you’re holding both ends of your cuff together to align the hole and bring the outer cuff close until you’re able to easily push your cufflink through the holes of your cuff.
Then, rotate the backing clasp to make sure your cufflinks stay secure throughout the night.
Easy enough, right? Even easier if you’re wearing knot cufflinks made out of fabric – for those, you simply slide them through the appropriate holes and you’re done. But with the most common and popular types of cufflinks, you’ll be able to easily follow the directions above and get yourself ready for your night out.
If you’re going to a black-tie event where you’ll need to wear a tuxedo or something equally fancy, you will need to adjust your cufflinks accordingly – and that includes how you go about putting them on.
Yes, it’s different – menswear is complicated. For wearing cufflinks with tuxedos, you’ll need to put them on using the French cuff. First, you’ll need to fold over your cuff so that the holes where you’ll be putting your cufflinks line up. Then, you slide the back of the cufflink through those holes, and then fasten your cufflink accordingly. The main difference between this method and the more common method for less formal events is the cuff folding. Other than that, the steps you follow should be the same, unless you’re dealing with a less common type of cufflink that fastens differently, like the chain link cufflink.
Chain link cufflinks slide through the holes of your cuffs and you simply twist the backs so that they line up and won’t easily slip through your cuff holes. Then, you’re good to go. These cufflinks are better for outfits where you want a looser fit around your cuff area and work perfectly in both formal and casual situations.
Wrap around cufflinks indulges style and sophistication to your look. Just like any other cufflinks they slide through the holes of your cuffs and you block the back whether it’s a whale back, bullet back or ball return cufflinks, the chain goes over the cuff to give a sophisticated look, whether you want it fixed or removed, solid or metal mesh, and partially or completely wrapped, this is up to you and your personal style.

David Richard Gallery presents Christian Haub’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, entitled Like A Butterfly. The presentation includes new and recent “floats”.
The “floats” by Haub have a number of surprising qualities that impart both a physicality and unexpected perceptual experience. Physically, they are constructions made of cast sheets of colored acrylic that are cut and assembled into open structures with vertical and horizontal elements. Formally, these artworks are entirely about color. Haub uses a limited palette, but the transparent acrylic allows light to pass through and create cast shadows, both within and outside of the structures and that is where the real action begins. When the shadows intersect and overlap the colors blend, creating new colors and expanding the palette. However, another fantastic thing happens, depending upon the angle and intensity of the light source—natural or artificial light—the shadows reach beyond the physical structure and expand the size of the artwork. This transformation of the local space with a luminous glow also introduces a kinetic quality to the work in a couple of ways. First, the shadows move and change depending upon the light source and especially if from natural light, that changes throughout the day in terms of angle, intensity and spectrum. Second, the shape and scale of the work changes as the viewer moves around and views the artwork from different distances and angles.
Christian Haub, a New York-based artist, grew up in Miami, Florida and studied art history at Princeton University. He received the Rome Prize in painting and studied at the American Academy in Rome from 1983 to 1984. Haub has had numerous solo exhibitions and his artwork included in many gallery and museum exhibitions in New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain; Paris, France; and Lima, Peru, among other cities. His artwork has been critically reviewed in The New York Times, Los Angels Times, The Boston Globe, Art In America, Arts Magazine, Artspace and BOMB among other publications.

Somehow we've missed the Deutsches Zweirad und NSU-Museum near Heilbronn in the past. I supect we were put off by the NSU connection. NSU built bicycles, motor cycles and cars including those with Wankel motors. The museum features however 400 exhibits in 2000 square metres. The bicycles exhibited range from the 19th Century to the present day, from the hobby horse to the e-bike.
The address: Deutsches Zweirad und NSU-Museum, Urbanstraße 11, 74172 Neckarsulm. The museum is signposted from the entre of the town. It is a short walk from Neckarsulm railway station through the park to the former Deutschordensschloß. The website in German offers an impression of the museum: http://www.zweirad-museum.de/.

Say what you will about Kunitz, he is the possessor of a truly exceptional ear. He has the fastidious and hypnotic ability to pick the precise words ("scavenger angels", "nimbus-clouded voice") that will both enhance the image and round out the sound. He is also, as this poem makes apparent, a proficient phrase maker – capable of delivering lines that are as radiant and as perfect as tiny gems set in a larger ornament. The repetition, of "I turn, I turn", for instance, or the delightful comeback of that second line ("some of them mine"), or that glorious question placed strategically in the very centre of the poem ("How shall the heart be reconciled / To its feast of losses?").
If there is one difficulty I have with Kunitz, it's that his poetry tends to get too fussy for my taste, too overwrought. That, fortunately, does not happen here – this poem has the true simplicity of the spoken voice, as practically all of Kunitz's better poems do. It is a lovely poem, a joy to read aloud, and a fitting tribute to one of our oldest and most venerable bards, a man who lived through many, many changes, and now, at the age of 100, is finally done.
Stanley Kunitz died last week (May 14th). My post on his death can be found here. Some biographical information can be found here. See another fine poem by Kunitz on Minstrels.

The Agriculture Team of Brussels Economy and Employment will be present with its own stand at the Libramont Fair on Saturday July 28 and thus ensures the very first participation of the Brussels-Capital Region. The theme "Who will feed our cities tomorrow?" Is the perfect occasion to put Brussels urban agriculture, the Good Food Strategy and the agricultural producers themselves in the spotlight.
The Agriculture Team will present, among other things, the Brussels agricultural policy, the call for projects, the fruit and vegetable distribution for schools, the urban agriculture facilitator .... Videos will illustrate the Brussels GoodFoodstrategy, that is the ambitious goal of the Region to produce 30% of our fruit and vegetables locally by 2035.
However, the real stars are Ferme Nos Pilifs, BIGH, Les Champignons de Bxl, Eclo and Urban Harvest. These 5 producers supported by the Region are engaged in urban agriculture in open ground, in cellars and on roofs, with techniques such as hydroponics, insect breeding, vertical agriculture ... They will themselves be present to propagate their passion for agriculture in an urban context and to present their products to the general public.
The stand also boasts a real 'show cooking corner' where a chef will prepare surprising meals with products from Brussels urban agriculture. In this way, the public will literally be able to taste a nice sample of Brussels urban agriculture.
We hope to see you there and then!

The keys to the digital kingdom are credentials. In no industry is this more true (and ultimately more damaging) than financial services. The sophistication of the attacks used to gather those credentials and thwart the increasingly complex authentication process that guards financial transactions is sometimes staggering. That's because they require not just stealth but coordination across multiple touch points in the transaction process.
MITB is not a new technique. It was first identified as a potential path to financial theft back in 2005 when Augusto Paes de Barros presented it as part of his "The future of backdoors - worst of all worlds". MITB didn't receive its "official" title until it was so named in 2007 by Philipp Gühring. In 2008, Trojans with MITB capabilities began to surface: Zeus. Torpig. Clampi. Citadel.
Most financial targeting Trojan malware are able to capture a wide variety of behavior and data as well as enabling remote control via VNC and RDP. They range from keylogging and grabbing and more recently have begun taking advantage of the mobile explosion in order to bypass multi-factor authentication requirements that leverage SMS to deliver OTP or TAN to legitimate users.
These Trojans accomplish these feats using MITB to inject scripts into legitimate banking web applications to extract and deliver credentials to dropzones. These scripts are dangerous not only because of the amount of data they can collect; that's true of just about any Trojan that inserts itself into the user environment. These scripts are dangerous because they become part of the application logic. MITB essentially changes the client side of a web application, giving it potentially new and dangerous capabilities such as modifying the details of transactions in real time. You might think you'd notice that, but because it's in the browser and modifying the business logic it can hide those changes from you, at least for a few days.
Financial institutions attempting to put a stop to these fraudulent activities often implement two-factor authentication. Logging in with simple credentials is not enough; a second password or code is delivered via a secondary channel such as via SMS in order to authenticate the user.
But even this is not always enough. As our F5 SOC research team recently showed, Neverquest is able to abuse user's trust in their banking institutions against them. In addition to the typical MITB script injection designed to steal credentials, Neverquest attempts to coerce users into also installing an application on their mobile device, designed to capture and deliver secondary authentication codes and passwords as well. Successfully doing so means attackers can execute automated transactions against the users financial accounts.
Given that 73% of users are unable to distinguish between real and fake popup messages (Sharek, et al 2008, "Failure to Recognize Fake Internet Popup Warning Messages") the potential for Neverquest and similar Trojans to succeed in such efforts is more likely than not, particularly when those popups are presented by a trusted site such as a financial institution.
The key to detecting these script-injecting, app modifying monsters is to understand the state of the web application page at the time it's delivered - before the Trojan has a chance to modify it - as well as monitoring for duplicate communication initiated from the web page. These are both methods used by web anti-fraud solutions to detect infected clients. A small protective script is included in each and every page that can detect attempts to modify the logic as well as notice duplicate communications and can notify the user immediately.
You can learn more about Neverquest, how it works and how to mitigate it from our F5 SOC analysis of the malware.

Are you aware of basics of great logo design?
Earlier than you get on logo design, you should know what a logo is and why it is used. A logo recognizes a corporation or product through the usage of a spot, flag, sign or signature. A logo does not vend the business directly or seldom does it define a corporate. It originates their denotation from the excellence of the thing they represent, not the other way.
The finest corporation logo design purely and efficiently delivers a feeling or impression without attempting to tell too much at a time. Smooth figures, bold outlines, and clear form are trademarks of simple logos that never go to the risk of seeming busy or inferior, unclear.
Seldom, innocent interest takes business proprietors to desire an extravagant logo design to deliver as much sense as probable. Not just is this needless, in some cases, it’s an interruption. Your logo shouldn’t be confusing or rhyme, it should be a stylish representation to represent your company’s nature and standards.
Of any size, your logo is present day, it may someday be as large as a poster or as tiny as a postage hallmark. Icons and fonts must be stable and clear at all the sizes and in an assortment of circumstances. Will your logo still be vibrant and operative if it looks in a single color or on a black background rather than a white?
The finest logo designers deliberate these aspects and design further. A company logo designer will also stream you with a style director which offers an ideal way to use your logo on various parts of content over several networks.
The great logo design centers over a single quality that is applicable to your projections and your company. Does it underline power, quickness, connectivity or invention? The message must be applicable and booming to your viewers. A day-care center is expected to pick a logo that is lively and exciting, while a law company must deliberate a traditional logo with a self-assured color structure. This might look clear, but it’s valued highlighting as it is critical to your brand image.
Applicable also indicates your logo must be associated with your business aims, instead of your personal perception. Stay away from needless fundamentals that may be visually attractive but don’t deliver your business message.
Eventually, a great logo design is like a piece of art. Alike all countless art, it can promptly induce a sense of pleasure, appreciation, expectation or peaceful. It syndicates color, typeface, design, and graphic components into a graphic that can connect in a single glimpse the desire and honesty behind your corporate. It takes real creative talent to assemble these basics for determining influence and inspiration.
The appealing basics of the great logo design can be fragmented into four separate groups. By appraising a logo over every of these lookouts it can be easy to proceed the logo design further into its perfect complete creation.
Some great logo design tends to be a bit more than a company name mentioned in the ideal font. The precise font for your logo will evidently coherent your brand identity, with or without extra graphic rudiments. Applicable and incredible typefaces in themselves are works of art and are mostly underestimate, but an appropriate font gives a brand to life.
Colors come up with a significant role in the way audiences remark your brand. They can be expressively and traditionally note-worthy relevant to the different factors that include area, age, and gender. Sometimes what works is to have one or more at key colors and then have a balancing neutral color such as very light gray, charcoal or light brown.
Are all the distinct basics of the logo in stability? The image, the text of your company name, and any use of subtext all must be in proper size and position. This helps a logo designer to design the ultimate product an integrated object.
It is correct that a well-executed great logo design can bring a simple icon from operative to extraordinary. Nevertheless, it isn’t continuously essential to have an icon and from time to time the most operative images are very modest.
By employing the great logo design into its elements, both theoretically and visually, it is likely to keep you in an outlook to make and identify a logo that is the ideal illustration of your company.
These are some basics of great logo design. Follow them for effective logo design. If you are aware of more basics apart from the above, please feel free to mention in the comment below.

Not a lot of people in his native country are familiar with Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben (1730 – 1794), but in the US the German-born military officer is a household name: he is considered one of the heroes of the American Revolutionary War of 1775 – 1783. Von Steuben, a veteran of the Prussian general staff, was recruited into the Continental Army by Benjamin Franklin. He used his extensive military experience to drill and discipline the badly organized and ill-equipped troops, transforming them into an effective army. Under the leadership of George Washington, the Continental Army eventually defeated the British. Today, Baron von Steuben is honored every year on Von Steuben Day, when parades are held in several US cities. A statue of von Steuben stands in Lafayette Square just north of the White House.
Thomas Nast (1840 – 1902) was one of the most famous caricaturists and cartoonists in the United States in the 19th century. He was born in the southern German town of Landau and immigrated to the US with his family during his childhood. Working for the illustrated political magazine Harper’s Weekly, Nast established the elephant and the donkey as symbols of the Republican and Democratic parties, which are still in use today. Nast has also been credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus – a round friendly grandfather figure wearing a red suit.
In early 1853, the carpenter and instrument builder Henry E. Steinway (1797 – 1871), together with four of his sons founded the piano manufacturing company Steinway & Sons. Steinway had immigrated to the US from Germany a few years before and anglicized his name – originally, it had been Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg. In 1880, some years after Steinway’s death, his sons returned to Germany and established a production site in Hamburg to meet rising demand in Europe. Today, Steinway & Sons is one of the leading piano manufacturers in the world. Its instruments were and are the preferred choice of many of the most influential and renowned pianists, including Lang Lang, James Levine and Billy Joel as well as Arthur Rubinstein, Cole Porter, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Vladimir Horowitz.
In 1896, newspaper owner Adolph S. Ochs (1858 – 1935) bought The New York Times, a newspaper that had been in decline for a number of years. Ochs, the son of German immigrants to the US from Bavaria, returned the Times to profitability, greatly increasing circulation. Today, the Times with its slogan “All the News That’s Fit to Print”, is regarded by many as the greatest newspaper in the world. It has won 125 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other publication. The Ochs-Sulzberger family has retained control of The New York Times Company through a special class of privately held stock until the present day. A. G. Sulzberger, great-great-grandson of Adolph Ochs, replaced his father Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. as publisher of the paper in 2018.
At the age of 18, Loeb Strauss (1829 – 1902), who would later become world famous under his anglicized name Levi Strauss, immigrated to the US with his widowed mother and siblings from the Bavarian town of Buttenheim. The family settled in New York. However, in 1853 the business opportunities arising from the gold rush in California prompted Strauss, who had started a dry goods business, to move to San Francisco. One of his customers, the Latvian tailor Jacob Davis, had the idea to reinforce blue jeans with metal rivets to create more durable work garments and was looking for a financial backer to patent the concept. Strauss and Davis founded a business together and became the first manufacturers of modern blue jeans, which have been an international fashion staple for decades.
The acclaimed author Thomas Mann (1875 – 1955) is regarded by many as the greatest pre-war 20th Century German writer. Mann’s best-known novel “Buddenbrooks”, first published in 1901, is an epic tale of decline about a dynasty of north German merchants. In 1929, Thomas Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Mann left Nazi Germany in 1933 and eventually settled in the United States in 1939. After teaching at Princeton University for a few years he moved to Los Angeles, where he and his family moved into a villa in the city’s Pacific Palisades area. There, Mann produced works including “Doctor Faustus”, “Joseph the Provider” and “The Holy Sinner”. Today, the villa is owned by the German government and is used as a transatlantic meeting venue. German scholarship recipients live there for short periods to work on projects promoting the transatlantic relationship. It is financed by the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, as well as funds from private foundations. Having left the US in 1952, Thomas Mann died in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 12, 1955.
The German-American industrial designer Hartmut Esslinger, who was born in 1944 in the southern German town of Beuren, has dedicated his career to improving the interaction between humans and technology through design. Esslinger established a design agency when he was 25 and began working for consumer electronics companies including Wega and Sony. In the early 1980s, he re-named the agency Frogdesign and moved it to California, where he took up working for Apple. His design for the Apple IIc home computer (pictured left) was the beginning of a pioneering design strategy, which made the brand world famous. Esslinger’s subsequent clients included Microsoft, Disney, Siemens and Lufthansa. Among designers, Esslinger is a living legend.
Lion Feuchtwanger (1884 – 1958), a playwright and novelist from Munich, became the most widely-read German-speaking author of his time in the US and Britain, when his novel “Jud Suess” was published in 1925. The novel, which sold around 300,000 copies in Germany before 1933, describes Jewish life in Germany during the Age of Enlightenment and is also seen as an attempt by the Jewish author to analyze anti-Semitism at the time of the Weimar Republic. After the Nazis came into power in 1933, Feuchtwanger was deprived of his citizenship while abroad. His works were among those subjected to public book burnings. In 1940, Feuchtwanger and his wife immigrated to the US, eventually settling in California. Their new home, Villa Aurora in Los Angeles, became a frequent meeting place for famous refugees from the Nazis, including Bertolt Brecht, Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Arnold Schoenberg and Albert Einstein. In 1995, Villa Aurora became an artist residence and, once again, a place for international cultural encounters. It is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
Having sold more than 20 million books around the world, Cornelia Funke is Germany’s most successful author by global sales. Funke’s fantasy novels for older children and young adults have been translated into more than 50 languages. Among her most successful works are the “Reckless” and the “Inkheart” series of books. Funke, who was born in the German town of Dorsten in 1958, has been living in California since 2005. Time Magazine counted her among the 100 most influential people in the world in the same year.
Sebastian Thrun is an innovator, entrepreneur and computer scientist who was born in Germany in 1967. He has made major contributions to the fields of robotics and autonomous driving. After moving to the US as a young academic in 1995, Thrun, as the director of the Artificial Intelligence Lab at Stanford University, led the development of “Stanley”, an autonomous car, which won a major competition by the Pentagon. Thrun went on to head Google’s hardware innovation lab, Google X. Currently, Thrun is President and CEO of the Kitty Hawk Corporation, a manufacturer of electric aircraft. He is also involved in the online education company Udacity.

Also when you call a lot company’s will say they do it and don’t. So its important when the technician calls you back you ask the proper questions.

Pizarro review – still as good as ever?
Treading water or better than ever?
When I first dined at Pizarro shortly after it opened in the autumn/winter of 2011, I noted a few niggling blemishes and hoped they’d be ironed out. After a longer delay than initially planned, I made a return visit on a weekend evening with Templeton Peck, Socialist Worker and the Squinting Brummie to see if it really is worth queuing for the eternally popular Pizarro.
I don’t drink, but the Squinting Brummie and Templeton Peck love a good tipple and opted for a carafe of 2009 Syrah from Tierra de Castilla by Casa Delle Valle. They both seemed pleased by their choice with the Brummie describing it as earthy and reminiscent of blackcurrants.
Drink less and you’ll be wealthier and healthier. Simple.
The Brummie enjoyed his plate of thinly sliced chorizo which had a salty and nutty flavour. Templeton had to stop himself from wolfing down the tender, fresh and creamy scallops all in one go. Socialist Worker was pleased the tenderness of his squid which was complimented nicely by the squidginess of the sautéed artichokes.
It’s always good to meat up.
The world is your scallop.
Someone told me the other day that he had never tasted squid before. Poor soul.
My own starter of Jerusalem artichokes served with goat’s curd and hazelnuts was a delightful layer cake of flavours and textures. The artichoke pieces had a charred, slightly chewy outer layer which quickly gave way to a creamy centre that was accentuated by the light creaminess of the goat’s curd and the crunchy, nutty sweetness of the hazelnuts. The curd had a texture that was curiously both coarse and fluffy at the same time.
I continued my meat-free trend by opting for sweet potatoes with pomegranate and blue cheese as my main course. The sweet and fluffy sweet potato slices contrasted nicely with the crunchy pomegranate pieces and the bold, tangy and sharp saltiness of the soft blue cheese.
Who says vegetarian food has to be boring?
Socialist Worker was disappointed by the blandness of his cod served upon a bed of beans, although given his crude palate and blundering vocabulary this might not necessarily be the cod’s fault.
I am a jealous Cod.
Although Templeton complained that his onglet steak cooked rare was a little chewy and tough around the edges, the centre of each beefy slice was pink and quivering with plenty of moreish flavour that was enhanced by the sweet onions and hearty gravy. The exceptionally creamy mash went down a treat too.
Even better than the onglet was the Brummie’s duck breast cooked rare. The moist and tender meat was spectacularly moreish due in no small part to the salty, seafood-ish sauce. The mildly bitter spinach contrasted well with the oranges and pears which weren’t overly sweet. The tender slices of sweet pear were a particularly good match for the duck.
For dessert, Socialist Worker plumped for the honey toffee cheesecake. He found it to be soft, fluffy, custardy and very light with a sugary sweetness to it. Templeton Peck and I both went for the soft and fluffy almond tart which had a dense crumb pastry. The tart yoghurt ice cream was icy with a clean, pure aftertaste that cleansed the palate of the nutty almond flavours from the tart very effectively.
The Santiago tart is apparently a traditional dish from northern Spain.
The Squinting Brummie opted for the white chocolate mousse and apple. The diced apple cubes had been dipped in lemon juice giving them a zesty tinge, but the excess juice mean that the top layer of mousse on which they rested turned soggy and a little gloopy. Despite this, once the apples were mixed in with the mousse and cinnamon-flavoured crumble the result was an exquisite multi-layered melange of sweetness and varying textures.
The service at Pizarro varied from mildly brusque to forced civility, but there was no doubting their efficiency. Upon accidentally smashing Templeton’s wine glass when clearing the table at the end of our meal, the shards were promptly cleared away and a replacement, complimentary glass brought to the table within minutes.
Pizarro still isn’t quite perfect but, as at sister restaurant José, the cooking is very good indeed. If you haven’t made you way down there, then you owe to it yourself to do so.
Opening Hours: seven days a week noon-15.00 and 18.00-23.00.
Total cost for one person including soft drinks but excluding tip: £30 approx.

Happy Friday friends, and happy birthday to me!
I’ve shared my birthdays here on Friday Faves for what seems forever. Actually, It’s been 6 years since I started the blog. WTF? I’ve also shared that German Chocolate Cake and my MIL’s Turkey Pot Pie are my birthday faves.
Well, my friends, tomorrow marks a milestone birthday.
And I have to admit, I’m a little shy about sharing the fact that I’m turning the BIG 50, only because of the same reason most everyone who is over 40 is reluctant to admit they are too.
Because we don’t want to appear old.
No longer hip. Or cool. Or fly. Or dope. Or whatever word is urban-dictionary-of-the-moment.
Past our born on date???
Oh sweet baby. Fill my wine glass to the top again, will you?
But you know what? I wouldn’t exchange even one of my hard-earned 50 years to go back to being 20, 30, or even 40 again.
Years past on milestone birthdays I was still figuring out who I was and who I wanted to become. Climbing the corporate ladder. Or at least trying to figure out how to. Still thinking that people actually looked at me and how I dressed/looked/acted and thinking they actually cared enough to judge. And guess what? They didn’t. All the worrying of what others were thinking of me when all they thought of was themselves. Wondering if I’d ever have the family/home/life I had envisioned for myself?
The fine lines and my ever-deepening cavern of a worry line between my brows (now plumped up with Botox thank you very much and not gonna apologize for it either) plus the extra lbs I never thought I’d have, have only moved me into a more relaxed, more caring of others position in my life.
I’m so happy at this point in my life. So grateful for the ones I love. For the life my man and I have created for ourselves. For our family. Our home. For the job I love. And to share it all with so many faces I know, and with a whole bunch of you I wouldn’t recognize from Adam.
Because guess what? My life isn’t just about me.
This is why I love the age I am…as of tomorrow. 50. FIFTY. The BIG 5-0! And I’m proud to say that yes, I’m older than you thought I was. Or at least that’s the conversation between you and me that’s going through my head :). Because I’m still living life to the fullest no matter what the digit mark.
Now…my mom might have a different side of the story.
The realization that she has a 50 year old daughter? I mean, she acts and feels like she did at the same age she birthed me. And I can’t disagree, because where did time go? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Hell. I feel the same way she did, but now with my sweet Smudge as a 12 year old!
As the years have gone by, I’ve slowly come to understand what she means when she says she doesn’t FEEL any older, but she just FEELS OLDER.
And just like her, I’m a firm believer that you are only as old as you THINK you are. And because I have so much living to do…oh, honey…I’ll always be young.
So…I want to know…What’s your secret to feeling, acting, being forever young? Because I am open ears. If you’ve gotten this far through this ode, grant me this birthday wish by sharing your keeping it young philosophies in the comments below.
Yes! Yes! Yes! They’re coming back! #justjack and the crew are returning come fall 2017 !!!! Sorry guys, but this is so much better than Gilmore Girls. And nothing is more apropos in my eyes for today’s DC festivities than a watch of this video. The writing. Oh, the writing is SO GOOD.

Are you kidding me right now with this AMAZING cake? Happy birthday to ME! And the tip on cake flour is spot on.
Loved this article on cooking mindfully. #6 is especially important!
Can’t wait to roast some bananas and make these little babies!

#Couple goals! I can’t get enough of her.
This weekend is the beginning of the Sundance Film Fest in Park City. WOOT WOOT! Last year I Snapchatted my way around Park City asking people, “HEY! ARE YOU FAMOUS???” This year I’ll be searching for celebs on my Instagram stories—I’m coming for ‘ya Jennifer (on my birthday no less!) Follow me to see the rich and famous we do indeed find, and who just THINKS they’re famous.
Chelsea Handler is leading the Park City women’s march down Main Street on Saturday. I bet Jen will be right at her side. Hot dang! That’s the same time as Smudge’s basketball game. Crap.
The hottest parties at Sundance.
The biggest party won’t be on Main Street.
Here’s the list of celebs I hope to be spying upon. Man! I’m gonna be busy!
What celebs wear at Sundance—in case you want to impersonate one so I think you’re a celeb and get you on my Instastory and you suddenly become FAMOUS!
5 girl-power documentaries to screen on Netflix now.

I’m all about skin care (hello, anti-aging!) and after seeing this on The Today Show as one of the best anti-agers, I’m giving it a try.
Smudge is getting this gel to combat those pesky teen breakouts. It’s supposed to be the newest, greatest thing and was previously only available with prescription.
Did I tell you about my new favorite highlighter? I LOVE IT!
This would be a cute transition piece, plus it’s on sale.
And this cute dress (add inexpensive too) has me excited about spring. Wait. What? Already?
Here are three mouthwatering recipes I’ve pinned this week that I definitely think you should pin as well!
Who’s ready to make the Superbowl even super-er?
I could seriously eat this for lunch every single day.
I’m all about a no-bake pie, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this velvety dark chocolate goodness.
Have an amazing and yummy weekend, fabulous friends!
Happy Birthday! I recently turned fifty-six. Yes, I had to type that out. And in my head, that is 4 away from 60. Yikes. However, I know so many amazing and strong women older than me, my closest friend is in her 70’s… and I am inspired! One of my earlier-in-life goals was to wrinkle happy, because you can’t, unless you have a life well lived and full of laughter. And, I think I am wrinkling happy! While I don’t love the wrinkly, crepey skin thing very much, I try to remind myself how much I loved my Grandma’s face, and how much I still love my Mom’s face, and the faces of all of those women I am so proud to be friends with. Again, happy birthday, and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing this Brenda and congrats to you! I hear you on moving toward the next generation, but thankfully the years keep coming. I have best friends who are a variety of seasons, from mid-60s, to 40s, and yes, even 30s and I think that’s one reason I feel totally happy about where I am in my life because I can live every age with them. And I LOVE your advice on wrinkling happy. What a great philosophy to have. Because as my cute grandma Mary Jane would have said, if you don’t wrinkle happy, you’ll just wrinkle unhappily. Thank you for the well wishes and thank you for reading FC.
Happy birthday! I just turned 50 too, last week. I made the decision to get over myself and just own it, but it’s not easy. Go us!
I like the way you think Turner. Get over it and own it. I’m on your team. Thank you for sharing this and happy birthday to YOU!
Well, you’ve posted a Will and Grace clip that says basically if you weren’t a Hillary supporter, you are a racist, sexist homophobe. I really just come here for food/cooking/ lifestyle content. Now you’ve insulted about half of the country.
Yes, so agree! I really look forward to your Friday Faves but did you really have to get a dig in for those of us who are hopeful for a positive change?
Thank you Bev, I too am just as hopeful as you are that our new President will be a success, and for all of us to succeed. And yes, to the point of yours and PRachel, I do occasionally share content like this in addition to choosing recipes to share because it ALL contributes to my lifestyle. Thank you for reading and here’s to 2017!
Sorry you took it that way, I thought they did a nice job of showing both sides of the coin. I’m sorry you feel that way. If you’d like to unsubscribe you can do so at the bottom of the email in your inbox. Thank you for reading ’til now.
Blogging is not about saying what we think the masses will approve of. You start going that way and you lose your voice and credibility. Tolerance is a beautiful thing. There is room for it on both sides.
Happy Happy Birthday, Heidi! Thank you for sharing your stories and your life with all of us. I appreciated your thoughts about turning 50 and while I’m “only” turning 40 this year, it was a good reminder that as you get older your worries about what others think tend to cease because you finally figure out who you are and what is important in your life, not others minds. I read something recently that said: “other people’s opinions of you are none of your business”. Trying to make that my motto this year. ;) And yes, you are older than I thought you were but in the very best way possible! Thank you again! Have a wonderful weekend celebrating you!!
I love that quote Staci. I’m adding it to my own to remember. Happy 40!
Happy Birthday Heidi! I am 57 years old, and have never felt better or been happier. Husband is retiring next month. Oh the plans we have! Daughter happily married, blog is doing great…off to see the world! p.s. you look amazing..enjoy, it only gets better!
Happy birthday Heidi!!! 50 looks fabulous on you! Age is just a number and you are awesome proof of that!
Happy birthday heidi! I love reading your blog and appreciate your voice! Have an amazing weekend!
Oh and I forgot to mention the Will and Grace video…..
I’m an Englishman of a similar age to your Mum. Isn’t she beautiful!
Strangely I also have a daughter nicknamed Smudge, now at university in Birmingham.
To business. I’ve made your crab gremolata many times, to much approval.
But crab in England is dear, (even where I live in lovely Devon), and I make your recipe with smoked haddock! It’s a stronger flavour, and much appreciated. Perhaps you’ll give it a try.
Still breathless at your beautiful Mum….
Happy Birthday Heidi! Our age is nearly a number. Just know we are all glad you were born, and we celebrate your being you!
Happy Happy Birthday Heidi!! We love you and are so proud of you!
Actually 50 is pretty fabulous! Happy Birthday!
Love your outlook and your blog. Your joy comes through in every word. Congratulations and happiest of birthday celebrations (so far).
Happy birthday, Heidi! Looks like you had a wonderful 50th! Thank you for all you do and for sharing your awesome recipes with us :-).
Just wondering what the name of the gel your daughter is getting for breakouts. When I click the link it says the page isn’t available.
Happy belated birthday! I love that you shared this because I will be turning 50 in April, and I’m having a hard time with it. I would never want to go back in a million years, however, and I’m sure in the next few months I’ll come around and embrace it. Hope you had a wonderful birthday!
I love your blog because it is so comprehensive!! You jump from one interesting thing to another and I don’t know how you do it! Happy Birthday!! You did such a great job articulating the dilemma each birthday brings in terms of being happy to still be here yet recognizing that change is coming so quickly. I have tried to address this conundrum on my blog (metirementblog.com) as well and I have ten years on you but our thoughts are universal!

MeggieSoft Games is a small, long-established (since 1994), software games development company dedicated to the creation of two-handed card games for the Microsoft Windows environment. Our games are faithful implementations and adhere to rules documented in Hoyle's Rules Of Games, the Encyclopædia Britannica, and many other sources.
We strive to create the best quality software at shareware "try before you pay" prices. Our policy is not to charge for updates and upgrades - once you are a registered user of a game, you remain a registered user for all future versions of that game.
By offering a range of games sharing the same foundation user-interface, MeggieSoft Games users are able to enjoy most of the major two-player card games without the need to learn a new way of operation for each one.
Each game is played against an online opponent, or against the computer. The computer opponent can be selected to adopt any of six different skill levels. Full game score history information is maintained, including Hall Of Fame and League Table, for up to twelve named players - perhaps one named player for each member of your household.
Over time, we also incorporate rule variations suggested by users in order to provide the broadest possible range of play. We believe our games to be the most comprehensive available in terms of completeness of known rule variations.
A comprehensive help file and a printable user guide accompanies each game. This describes in depth how to play the game itself and how to get the most enjoyment from the MeggieSoft Games interface. In addition, all of the games feature walk-through tutorials, explanatory prompts, analytical aids, and hint capability.

text: Very sad to hear about the passing of Ray Manzarek. The Doors were a huge influence on me as a teenager, and he was an important part of the dynamic of that group. They were a perfect blend of rock n' roll, R&B, the blues, jazz, and whatever the hell else they decided to throw into the mix. His keys playing was phenomenal, and I am sure he and Jim Morrison are jamming together in Hell with Kurt Cobain and John Bonham.

You can protect your family and your home with a backup generator that stands ready when you need it most.
The next power outage could be tomorrow or next week. The U.S. power grid is grossly underinvested and aging. There are heightened power outages all over the country – in fact, the average number of power outages in this country doubles every five years.
Add to this aging infrastructure the increased occurrence and severity of major weather events plus a growing population taxing local grids, and you have a “perfect storm”. How long can your family be without electricity?
A home generator is an affordable solution to keep your family safe, your home secure and to prevent loss.
What types of generators are available?
Home backup generators require a constant and reliable source of fuel. Most common are natural gas generators and propane fueled generators. For commercial applications, diesel generators are available.
What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator? A standby generator requires permanent installation and is permanently connected to a fuel supply and your home’s electrical panel. A portable generator is fueled by gasoline, is used for temporary power for one appliance which is plugged into the generator when needed. Use a standby generator if you want to provide power to heating and central air conditioning and/or more than one appliance at a time. A standby generator delivers instant power whether you are home or away. It is important to know that portable generators must be stationed out of doors as they pose a carbon monoxide risk in a confined space. Using propane or natural gas is also less expensive than gasoline as a fuel source.
What is the difference between the different sizes of generators?The perfect generator for your home is sized based on your system and power needs. Our service technician will meet with you to discuss your requirements for standby power and that will dictate the size of unit that will be able to deliver that much electricity to your home.
What is a transfer switch? There are two types: automatic transfer switches and manual transfer switches. An automatic transfer switch senses when power is interrupted from the electric utility and automatically transfers the source of power from utility lines to your generator. You can also do this manually but someone must be present at the time of the power interruption to effect the source transfer. Most homeowners choose automatic transfer switch operation to protect their home when they are at work or on vacation.
How does a home generator work?A generator will produce electricity for your home when the power from your utility company is interrupted by sensing the service interruption. It delivers power to your home usually within 10-30 seconds. When electricity is restored, the generator’s sensors cool the unit and shut it down. The system also includes a service breaker to protect the transfer switch as well as protect the circuits and breakers from electrical strikes and power surges.
What types of cooling systems are available on backup home generators?To keep from overheating, generator engines are either cooled by antifreeze (liquid-cooled) or cooler outside air (air-cooled). The type of cooling is determined by the size of the generator with air-cooled units sized for under 22 KW and liquid cooled sized for generators from 15 KW to 59 KW.
What is the difference between a home standby generator and a whole house generator?Strictly speaking, a home standby generator powers up from 8 to 16 circuits in your home. This is a good option for small homes or when you don’t need every circuit in your home operational during a storm or power outage. A whole house generator is just that: it is sized to power up every circuit in your home which can range from 15,000 watts to 59,000 watts depending on the size of the home and the number of circuits.
Do I need to maintain my generator?As with any motor, a generator will require periodic oil and filter changes.Many generators will run for a minute or two automatically each week to keep all systems running smoothly until you need backup power.
24/7 monitoring of incoming voltage from your utility provider.
The ability to close off the power supply safely from the utility when the generator engages.
A single point of contact for generator installation: one company to help you select, install and service your generator.
Must keep key systems in your home running seamlessly.
What Size BackUp Power Do You Need?
Our service technicians can go over your preferences with you to see which circuits you want to prioritize for standby power when they visit your home. We offer both a free assessment and a free estimate for home generators.
Our free assessment is the best way to determine the size unit that will fit your needs perfectly. Few homeowners employ every circuit in their home at the same time – even during an outage. So whether your home has 100 amp, 200 amp or 400 amp service, you most likely will not need a generator that will power every amp circuit at once. This can be somewhat misleading when you look at sizing charts…your needs, and your investment, will probably be less than a chart will show.
Why be left in the dark or out in the cold when you can be warm and safe inside with a standby generator. We install and service the right generator for your home and your emergency power requirements.
OnGuard Generators is your source for whole house generators in Chicago and the surrounding metropolitan area. We sell and service home generators, natural gas generators, propane generators, backup generators and standby home generators from GE Generators, Generac Generators, Kohler Generators and more. Give us a call at (844) 400-9518 for a complimentary in-home assessment for a whole house generator for your Chicagoland home.

The steel-mesh embedded glass top of this piece represents the space-time continuum and the supporting pipes represent four-vectors. This theory, first proposed by Albert Einstein, states that time -- the fourth dimension -- is only a direction in space and that “the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.” It’s a challenging concept because we are only able to perceive one path that time takes: the ever-changing present.
I began to think about Einstein's theory, and how it relates to our life experiences and the time that we have for them, when talking to my brother-in-law, Chris. He and his wife, Jill, had recently undergone two of the most emotional events that we experience as humans: the birth of a child, and the death of a loved one -- their incredible dog, Hazel. As they joyously welcomed a new member to their family, they grieved for the loss of another. The concept of time -- and the importance of cherishing the present -- became especially poignant. I built The Fourth Dimension as a gift for their family, celebrating the new and honoring the old.

If you aren't in the mood to bake this Thanksgiving on top of all the cooking you'll be doing, why not help out some needy pups while you purchase those pies? Pastry chef Rebecca Masson is selling her fabulous pecan pies (with a shortbread crust!) for $25 each, $5 of which goes to Corridor Rescue. The pies can be purchased online and picked up either November 23 or November 24 at Natural Pawz in the Heights, but quantities are limited so order while you still can.
Too much talk about politics and religion at your family dinners on Sunday nights? We can't promise that those topics won't come up at Catalan's Chef's Family Table, but we can at least promise that the food will probably be a lot better. Each Sunday evening, Chef Chris Shepherd dishes up a multi-course meal from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for a ridiculously low sum of $35 per person. As you might imagine, the 20-person table fills up fast, so recommendations are required. Call 713-426-4260 to book your spot for November 21's Creole meal or November 28's Italian feast.
Before you fill up on food on November 21, though, head down to Alvin and fill up on wine. The Barbed Rose Steakhouse is hosting the town's First Annual Wine Festival on November 20 from 2 to 5 p.m. There's a price point for every budget, too: $25 gets you a selection of samples at The Burger Bar (The Barbed Rose's little sister next door) while $45 gets you premium samples from The Barbed Rose's dining room. And $55 gets you tickets for both. Additional information can be found by calling 281-585-2272.
If you haven't had your fill of helping unlucky dogs in need of rescue (and, honestly, who gets their fill of something like that?!), Voice is hosting its third annual Christmas Tale on November 30 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. This is always one of our favorite events and with good reason: Some of the city's most talented chefs and pastry chefs compete to see who can craft the most gorgeous gingerbread house. See last year's slideshow for examples of the ingenuity and delicacy of these creations.
This year, more than 20 chefs will be competing, from pastry queens such as Katie Leggett, Claudia Rice and Audrey Sam to savory kings such as Justin Basye, Brett Sparman and Adison Lee. Tickets are available for a suggested donation of $25, which goes to benefit Lucky Dog Rescue, and gets you -- as a guest -- yummy bites and voting rights.

When Justin Johnson was hired in 2012 to help revamp the Watertown hospital cafeteria to emphasize scratch food and sustainable operations, he was skeptical whether the concept would work.
Now, Johnson is starting his own company, which aims to do the same thing: use less processed food and increase revenue.
"I discovered it was a lot easier than I thought," he said. "A lot of times, the roadblocks were imagined or easy to overcome. There's a lot you can do for a little."
Johnson's work can include changing menus and recipes, overhauling kitchen systems to be more efficient, training staff — even installing garden space for businesses to make their own produce. His start-up, called Sustainable Kitchens, will specialize in helping health care kitchens.
It also underscores a wider trend in the food industry for healthier, more natural meals.
Gretchen Mead, executive director of the Victory Garden Initiative and a member of the Milwaukee Food Council, said she's seen a growing interest among food services in the area to use food from scratch, with a handful of commercial kitchens grabbing produce from their backyards and at farmers markets.
"People are realizing it's the way of the future," Mead said. "They are seeing how foods are affecting their health. There's almost a sense of conspiracy, like 'What did they put in my food?'"
Mead's seen sustainable food managing programs come and go over the past couple of years, but as a consultative business, Sustainable Kitchens is a relatively new idea.
It's also a concept that could be attractive for businesses that want to revamp their food services but without the financial resources needed to hire top-line chefs.
Even though Johnson only started moving on the idea in December, he already has begun working with a few undisclosed restaurants in metro Milwaukee.
"I started getting enough calls and I thought, 'I might have something here,'" Johnson said.
Johnson will resign Feb. 6 as executive chef and food service director at Watertown Regional Medical Center's Harvest Market restaurant to focus on his new company, hoping to capitalize on the success he's had at the hospital.
During his time there, he retrained the staff, moved to an all-scratch-food cooking model and created an 11,000-square-foot garden that supports most of the kitchen's vegetable needs during the growing seasons.
The approach not only cut costs for the hospital, he said, but also integrated the staff into the earlier steps of preparing food and invested them more in the end result.
Johnson already has two restaurants and a health center as clients to implement similar strategies in the coming months.
"I'm coming in with a fresh set of eyes," he said. "The real focus of my company is to elevate businesses."
Before serving at the Watertown cafeteria, called Harvest Market, Johnson worked as executive chef at Hotel Metro Milwaukee and at Harwood Place Retirement Community.
His efforts to improve sustainability in kitchens have received national attention. In 2013, Johnson was nominated by the National Restaurant Association for its Operator Innovations in Sustainability Award.
Also that year, he was among 15 chefs selected across the country for the Culinary Institute of America's enrichment and innovation program.

One Hundred and one organizations signed a letter sent to Congress today urging appropriators to block the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) relocation and reorganization of the Economic Research Service (ERS) and relocation of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
“The greater agriculture and food community has been clear in its opposition to USDA’s unilateral decision to uproot its research arm: It is a counter-productive and ill-conceived plan that should be stopped,” said Ron Wasserstein, executive director of the American Statistical Association.
“This letter includes 50 organizations new to our campaign,” stated Nichelle Harriott, policy specialist to the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. “We’re seeing more and more opposition. In fact, there are few, if any, supporters within the farm and food research community for the administration's misguided plan."
The proposed relocation and reorganization will undermine the quality and breadth of the work these agencies support and perform—work that is vital to informing and supporting US agriculture, food security, and rural development. The rationale provided by the USDA for the relocation also fails to identify problems substantive enough to justify such a disruption of ERS’s and NIFA’s operations and jeopardizes the much-needed growth in funding for both agencies’ programs. Equally concerning is that USDA made their decision last summer without stakeholder or congressional input.
The letter urges congressional intervention through bill language in FY 2020 agriculture appropriations legislation stating no funding be used for relocation or reorganization of ERS and no funding be used for the NIFA relocation outside the National Capital Region. Additionally, the signers request appropriators to deny any FY 2019 reprogramming requests from USDA for them to continue to implement relocation.
Buchanan and Woteki will testify Wednesday before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies: USDA’s Proposed Relocation of the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The modern day moose hunting season in Maine was established in 1980 as a management tool for the state to control the quickly growing moose population and ever increasing moose/vehicular collision problems. In the years since, the split hunting season has become a huge part of the local culture and provided both resident and non-resident big game hunters with some truly remarkable trophy opportunities.
In recent years the cow hunting seasons in the Northern Zones have been added providing even more hunter opportunities.
Moose hunting in Maine provides the best opportunity for a big game hunter to take a trophy class Bull without the expense and traveling to the far reaching destination of the Alaskan Yukon. Antler spreads of 57 inches or greater are recorded from trophy Bulls in the state of Maine every season. Combined with the great head gear that can come on these animals are some massive body weights brushing upwards of 1400 pounds on the hoof. Here at Ross Lake Camps we took the 6th largest in the State in 2005 with a dressed weight of 1029 pounds. Hunting success for these animals in Northern Maine runs very high, particularly in the zones that are hunted here in the “North Maine Woods”. This is an area encompassing more than 3,500,000 acres of private wilderness to hunt on. Wildlife districts 4, 1, 2 & 5 encompass the northwestern quadrant of Maine that is all wilderness forest area owned and operated by the major logging and paper companies in the region. Lodging facilities are very limited. You will not find a more experienced, successful and professional group of guides than we have on staff right here.
We provide our customers with a whole package experience at Ross Lake Camps. Our location puts us right in the middle of a true wilderness jewel that most people don’t even know still exists in modern times.
The cabins are traditional wilderness sporting camp style, rustic and comfortable. Meal service is first rate home cooking served in the main lodge house. Guide service is provided on a “one on one” basis to ensure every hunter of a quality hunting experience. We have all boats, motors, canoes, 4 wheel drive vehicles, and recovery gear to make your trip a success.
Please contact us for further information on booking your Once in Lifetime Moose Hunt.

Where, Oh Where Is All The Clean Air?, by Theodore Parker, Sr.
In an attempt to address the ever increasing problem of air pollution, this unit was developed with the curriculum behavioral objectives and guidelines of the New Haven Board of Education in mind.
This curriculum unit can be integrated into any or all of the following courses: biology, meteorology, botany, health education, environmental studies and ecology. The unit introduces the subject of air pollution in a somewhat unique style: that is, by using a parable of a make-believe country that falls victim to its own technological advances. (Familiar?) The unit is logically arranged, beginning with an introduction. Next there is a brief history of air pollution; behavioral objectives which include skills and abilities, and attitudes and appreciations; questions to be answered; the meteorology of air pollution (causes and dispersal, effects on living things); major diseases related to air pollution; impacts of air pollution (aquatic life, plant life); methods of controlling air pollution vs. economic considerations; summary statement; update; activities for classroom discussion; air pollution pre-quiz/post-quiz; charts and tables; comprehensive glossary; suggested reading list.
This unit is centered around a broad-based science theme. The concepts to be developed are listed or explained. All activities are designed to contribute to the development and reinforcement of concepts. The activities have been designed so that they may be implemented inexpensively. This unit is designed to foster an understanding of the serious problem of air pollution through inquiries, investigations and activities; and ultimately develop some suggestions for possible methods of addressing the problem of air pollution.
