An annual event that will rekindle the storied history of tobacco farms and cigar factories in downtown Nacogdoches.
Enjoy great food, music and some fo the best cigars available today while you relax in the fellowship that only a cigar community can provide.
Welcome to the first annual Tobacco Festival for Nacogdoches, Texas. Nacogdoches Cigar Company is bringing back the illustrious tradition of quality cigar events in our town – the oldest town in Texas.
In the early 1900s, Nacogdoches was one of the premier growers and producers of shade tobacco. There were over 40 major growers in Nacogdoches County with drying barns and railroad spurs feeding the downtown rollers in the city. Nacogdoches Cigar Company was one of those manufacturers. In fact, their cigars took the blue ribbon at the World’s Fair. Nacogdoches was considered the “Cuba of the South” with its soil and growing conditions rivaling that of the tobacco-growing regions of Cuba’s heyday. We at Nacogdoches Cigar Company have revitalized the name and are hoping to revitalize some of the fun and excitement of the former glory days.
Tobaccodoches was conceived by the owners of Nacogdoches Cigar Company as a way to revitalize the cigar community of Nacogdoches and introduce our customers and town to the finest cigar merchants and manufacturers in the business today! Join us for a day of Fine cigars & great company!

Intense, dry woody & earthy flavour which is typical for South American cocoa. Brittle texture. Flavour seems dry at first, but then melts and explodes on your tongue. Not too sweet.
70% cacao, variety: Trinitario. Trinitario beans are often referred to as fine or flavour cocoa beans, they are a stronger hybrid from other bean varieties.
Location: San Martin Area (Tarapoto), and San Alejandro area.
Accessibility: difficult. To reach the cocoa growing regions, TTF has to take plane over the Andes, and then hours of boat, car of small planes to reach the farmers.
Cocoa variety: Peru, like Ecuador, has introduced some new hybrids in the last few decades in order to boost the yields and overall production. This production increase has been done at the expense of quality unfortunately. The Travelling Frenchman is actively helping its farmers to identify and regenerate the native varieties. Most fields in Peru are now composed of a big mix of different varieties, of which ics95, ccn51 and crillolos.
Organic status: Most farmers are growing their cocoa in an organic way. They are conscious of the benefits of not applying any chemicals on their soils.
Technical knowledge: very good. Most farmers have beneficiated from NGOs training programs and know very well about under brushing, grafting, pruning, and organic agriculture practices
Average cocoa farm size: Small, about 4 hectares of which 2 cocoa and 2 of something else (ex: goats). Average yield is good (600kg/ha)
History of cocoa in the country: Cocoa has appeared one or two decades ago as a viable replacement crop during the implementation of the coca eradication program.
Amount of farmers reached by the Travelling Frenchman: about 20 farmers from 3 communities
Challenges: a long and intense presence from numerous NGOs has created a sort of dependency of the farmers to external financial help.
Cultural particularity: Most cocoa farmers that The Travelling Frenchman works with, used to grow coca and switched to cocoa a few years ago under the impulse of the Peruvian and American govt.
Cocoa journey: The cocoa has to go up and down across the Andes in trucks. It can take up to 3 days and the road is very dangerous. It reaches the port of Lima where it is loaded on board of a containership. The journey to Holland takes up to 3 weeks.

feature By: Terry Wieland | December, 18
The A-Frame was one of a generation of bullets that came out in the 1980s and included the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Woodleigh Weldcore, A-Square Dead Tough and, a decade earlier, the Bitterroot. All were developed to fill what was becoming a more and more obvious void: A serious hunting bullet that could handle ever-higher velocities and still expand properly, hold together and penetrate to the vitals.
Meanwhile, Swift has gone from strength to strength. Located in an up-to-date production facility in the small town of Quinter in western Kansas, Swift now offers not only the A-Frame but also the Scirocco II. The Scirocco II is an ultra-streamlined, bonded design intended for precision long-range shooting, whereas the A-Frame is intended primarily for the biggest and toughest game at closer ranges.
The A-Frame dates from 1984. At that time, more and more hunting
John Nosler was the first to make an effort in this direction in the 1940s, and his work produced the Nosler Partition. The idea of putting a solid copper wall in the middle of a bullet was not new – the RWS H-Mantle from Germany was already famous – but Nosler brought the concept to America. The Nosler Partition has been a standard ever since.
Other bullet designers had other ideas. Bill Steigers, at Bitterroot, pursued the idea of bonding the lead core to the bullet jacket so that it would remain one cohesive piece as the bullet expanded. Bitterroot Bullets quickly gained a fine reputation for delivering beautifully mushroomed bullets, but there were three problems: They were expensive. Worse, limited production capabilities meant that it sometimes took years –
There was obviously room in the market for more players. Swift’s founder, Lee Reed, hit on the idea of combining the proven system of a “partition” (which, it should be noted, is a name registered by Nosler) while at the same time bonding the lead core. This would deliver the best of both worlds and ensure that the bullet retained a high percentage of its weight as it expanded. Typically, a Partition sheds the forward core as it expands and penetrates, retaining usually 60 to 65 percent of its weight. The A-Frame runs to more than 95 percent.
As all makers of genuine premium bullets have discovered, they require more operations and more labor. Consequently, they cost more to deliver. Nosler disguised the fact that Partitions cost twice as much as standard bullets by putting them in packages of 50 instead of the usual 100, so all the price tags looked comparable. It was a clever ruse (and in no way dishonest) and it worked. I know
For small operations like Bitterroot, Swift and Trophy Bonded, price was usually less of an obstacle than delivery. Of the three, Swift was the only company that really overcame that problem. As its reputation grew, so did the operation, and it was able to supply bullets to large ammunition manufacturers who then offered ammunition loaded with Swifts as a premium product.
Originally in the 1970s, there were two distinct hunting situations demanding better bullets. One was for high-velocity, small- caliber cartridges like the .270 Weatherby; the other was in really big, dangerous-game rounds like the various .416s and .458s, both factory and wildcat. Bitterroot aimed only at the first group. Nosler made Partitions as large as .375, but production in that caliber came and went, and the company made nothing larger for many years. Trophy Bonded, at one point, went as small as .243 and as large as .470 (and even made some experimental bullets in .224), but Federal has drastically curtailed the range of bullet diameters since it bought out the company 20 years ago.
Makers of bonded bullets are reticent about how, exactly, the bonding comes about. It is almost always a proprietary process. Bitterroot was rumored to use epoxy; A-Square employed a form of solder; Jack Carter at Trophy Bonded developed a heat process combined with work-hardening. Since about 2000, almost every major bullet maker has come out with bullets billed as “bonded,” but not all behave as a real bonded bullet should.
Swift’s process is also proprietary, but the proof is in the shooting. Swift bullets always, in my experience on game and in penetration boxes, expand beautifully and hold together with ferocious tenacity.
Experimenters learned early that the two materials that deliver the best results are pure lead and pure copper. Alloys of both tend to be brittle. They fracture and crumble on impact, where copper and lead behave almost like chewing gum, stretching and expanding but holding together. Unfortunately, copper is more difficult to work in its pure form, and it gums up machinery. This adds to time and expense.
Pure copper also behaves differently in bores. Because it’s soft, it plugs the lands and grooves more than does the harder, more slippery gilding metal. This can result – counterintuitively – in higher pressures. In recent years, with the advent of bullets made of pure copper or copper alloy, loading practices have become very specialized, with some data issued specifically for those bullets because they are long for their weight and produce different pressure patterns.
There is no particular secret to loading Swift A-Frames. The substantial copper wall in the center of the bullet does not produce pressure spikes or anything like that. They seem to compress in the rifling in a normal manner. As with any bullet by any maker, however, it is always prudent to start low and work up.
The .250 Savage (.250-3000) is one of my all-time favorite cartridges, but it does have its limitations.Swift’s 100-grain A-Frame is a little too heavily constructed to work well in a Savage 99, where imitations include action size and maximum overall cartridge length. In a good bolt action, however, where the bullet can be seated farther out to leave room for more powder, the A-Frame gives the .250 Savage an added dimension, especially on tough and truculent animals like feral hogs.
.257 Weatherby Magnum
For anything larger than pronghorn or whitetails, I prefer a heavier bullet. The old Bear Claw was 115 grains, and I used it in Africa on wildebeest and zebra, among other things, and would not have hesitated to hunt elk with it. The Swift 120-grain A-Frame delivers comparable ballistics and results, plus it gives the .257 Weatherby ample power for anything in North America. I probably would not hunt the big bears with it, but that’s me. For feral hogs, the 100-grain A-Frame is particularly effective. My all-time favorite powders in the .257 Weatherby are Norma MRP and Reloder 22.
7x61 Sharpe & Hart
When Phil Sharpe released his darling to the world, it was loaded by Norma with a 160-grain bullet at a claimed (but not delivered) 3,100 fps. Realistically, it can drive a 160-grain bullet at about 2,950 fps without exceeding pressure limits, and Swift’s 160-grain A-Frame is perfect for the purpose. Of course, it works equally well in all the big 7mm cartridges.
The .358 family has never been as popular as it deserves to be, squeezed from either side by the .338 and .375, and for this reason there has never been a wide range of bullets for it. A cartridge like the .358 Norma demands strongly constructed bullets. Fortunately, Swift offers three A-Frames in .358 – weighing 225, 250 and 280 grains. The 225-grain bullet is tailor-made for the .350 Remington Magnum, with its short neck and squat body, while the 280-grain bullet allows the .358 Norma to perform to its full potential and play in the same ring as the .375 Holland & Holland.
I am a great believer in using 500-grain bullets in any big .450, but not in loading lighter bullets and trying to match the .416s. A 500-grain bullet makes the .450 into a big hammer, so why compromise that?
However, there is a wide range of .450s, but most of which are intended for dangerous (or at least hazardous) game. Swift makes four different weights in .458: 350, 400, 450 and 500 grains. Together, these provide a wide range of loading potential for anything from the .450 Marlin and .45-70 on the small side, all the way up to the .460 Weatherby and .450 Dakota. For the .458 Lott, the range of bullet weights makes it one of the most versatile cartridges in existence.
In 1994 the Swift company was acquired by Bill Hober, and since then he has steadily expanded both its operation and its products. Hober was the main force behind the design of the Scirocco II, as well as designing a new solid, the Break-Away. He bought out Ted Blackburn’s operation and now makes products such as bottom metal for custom gunsmiths. Swift also offers its own line of loaded ammunition and its own loading manual, now in its second edition. To its credit, the Swift manual includes both the .250 Savage and the .358 Norma – both cartridges that are unfairly neglected elsewhere.
From a standing start in 1984, the Swift Bullet Company has steadily grown and expanded, and can now be included in the select group of top-notch bullet and ammunition makers.


I bought my Flytouch 2 from this Hong Kong website; Flying Touch II 10.1 inch Google Android 2.1 GPS MID Tablet PC
They had the best price i could find. I havent had any trouble with it or with the registration code.
I have updated it without any problems. Currently at firmware 2752.
I have been reading through this tread and hope that i can offer some useful tidbits of info.
Someone was asking about the 3G function. It definitely needs an external USB modem of various specific brands. The company i bought it from clearly specified that when i purchased it (wish i did purchase it now)
here is the link; E1916 3G Modem Dongle CDMA Wireless USB Stick for Flying Touch II MID
I just use my galaxy phone as an mobile access point when i need internet.
The GPS works great without the antenna and seems to be almost military accurate with the antenna.
I am not crazy about the single point resistive touch - especially when i am comparing it directly to my samsung galaxy but i did only spent 147 bucks on it after all.
I wish it had bluetooth. I saw a vid on some slavic speaking tech who was able to mod it somehow but i couldnt understand anything he said. I have usb bluetooth dongles but the present firmware has discluded any drivers for bluetooth.
I read in another thread that froyo will be too much for the Flytouch/superpad/wowpad etc to handle. We only 256 mb of ram and Froyo needs 512. So unless they strip it down i am thinking we wont see a 2.2 rom.
I am watching for custom roms to become the norm for this thing but until then i am not gonna mess with my pad. I gotta wait at least 6 months before i rip it apart (which seems to involve delaminating the adhesive around the screen edge to expose the screws undneath. I have access to the high quality double sided tape that is used to hold the polycarb top layer on but i am still not crazy about mutilating this thing just yet.
Anyways so far i love the pad and i hope my links can be of use to some peeps.


Animal Pharm Podcast #13: Anizome sheds light on the burgeoning animal microbiome opportunity
In this latest Animal Pharm podcast, editor Joseph Harvey finds out how addressing the microbiome is changing the way the animal health industry approaches R&D. To understand the potential of microbiome products, he spoke to Oliver Hardcastle – the chief executive of new firm Anizome.
Anizome was established by academic and industry partners earlier this year. It claims to be the first company focused on a commercial therapeutic microbiome discovery platform dedicated to animal health and nutrition.
In the podcast above, Mr Hardcastle explains why fully understanding the animal microbiome is crucial for the veterinary medicines sector. He also tells Animal Pharm why start-ups – with a helping hand from investors – will hold the key to animal microbiome innovation.
The podcast also highlights a connection between the human microbiome sector, where a multitude of young businesses have already secured a wealth of funding, and trends that could occur in the animal microbiome space in the near future.
Anizome draws on expertise from Baylor College of Medicine, human microbiome company Diversigen and Stonehaven Incubate.
In an interview earlier this year, Mr Hardcastle told Animal Pharm: "The microbiome is a real gateway towards personalized nutrition and precision medicine for animals, while offering a very real opportunity to replace antibiotics with microbiome-based solutions, such as live biotherapeutic products."

Anyone aged 18 or over in Leeds will have the opportunity to get their Covid-19 vaccination this weekend by simply walking into one of a number of vaccination clinics.
Dubbed ‘Grab a Jab’ this country-wide vaccination push aims to make it as easy as possible for anyone to receive either their first or second dose without having to wait for a pre-booked appointment. Walk-in clinics are taking place at several centres in Leeds, including Middleton and Holbeck throughout the weekend from Friday (25 June) until Monday (28 June 2021).
Details are available at www.leedsccg.nhs.uk/health/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/walk-in-clinics/
In addition, health care professionals will be at the Trinity Centre in Leeds on Saturday from 10am to 4pm to help people book appointments and to answer any questions they may have about the vaccine. Text messages are also being sent to people living in areas where there has been a lower uptake of vaccinations with a link to information on local walk-in services.
Council officers have also been visiting residents in areas where cases are particularly high to promote and answer questions about enhanced community testing and explain the testing process.
Sam Prince, Senior Responsible Officer for the vaccination rollout in Leeds, said:
“Over recent weeks it’s been great to see glimpses of what we once called normal life return and I know we all want restrictions to be lifted.
“The reality of the situation is that getting the vaccine is the best way we can all help to see those restrictions lifted. The more people are fully vaccinated, the more the spread of the virus will be limited and fewer people will end up in hospital.
“That is the aim of ‘Grab a Jab weekend’. It’s about vaccinating as many people as possible and making the process easy for everyone to get their jabs – whether that is a first or second dose.
“If you are 18 or over please go and grab your jab or make an appointment at a time and place that’s convenient for you via the National Booking Service.
“Second doses have been brought forward to eight weeks following evidence showing how important the second jab is in protecting people against the Delta variant that is now spreading across the country. Giving these at eight weeks will still ensure the vaccines provide people with the maximum protection against Covid-19.
“This virus has devastating consequence for people of all ages and backgrounds. Getting everyone vaccinated remains the most important way of getting back to normality – it’s that simple,” added Ms Prince.

U.S. Lifts Ban On Lawsuits On Foreign Firms In Cuba
Reuters reports the Trump administration is lifting a ban that prevented U.S. citizens from filing lawsuits against foreign companies that use properties seized by Cuba’s government.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the decision on Wednesday.
He warned, “Any person or company doing business in Cuba should heed this announcement." The State Department said the policy shift could draw hundreds of thousands of legal claims worth tens of billion of dollars.

A GROUP of illegal workers are being held in detention after they were picked up during a Department of Immigration raid in Griffith last week.
Arrangements are continuing for the transfer of the group, found during compliance operations in Griffith and Leeton in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Department of Immigration and Border Protection compliance teams located nine illegal workers at residences across the region.
Two of the men, a Malaysian and an Indian national, were located at two separate residences in Griffith and a further seven people (five men and two women) from Malaysia were located at a third residence in Leeton.
All nine were found to be unlawful non-citizens and have been detained and transferred to Villawood Immigration Detention Centre (VIDC) in Sydney where arrangements are being made for their return home.
"These operations were conducted in response to community information supplied to the department," said assistant minister for immigration and border protection Michaelia Cash.
"Investigations into the circumstances of the employment of the illegal workers are continuing.
"Employers should be aware it is a criminal offence to knowingly or recklessly allow a person to work illegally or to refer an illegal worker for work."
The visa entitlement verification online (VEVO) service is available to employers to check the details of prospective employees, with their consent, to quickly confirm if they are eligible to work in Australia.
Employers convicted under Commonwealth legislation for employing illegal workers face fines of up to $20,400 and two years imprisonment while companies face fines of up to $102,000 per illegal worker.
People with information about illegal workers or visa overstayers can call the Immigration Dob-In Line on 1800 009 623.

The early American explorer, John C Fremont, who first mapped the Oregon Trail, described Joshua trees as “the most repulsive tree in the Vegetable Kingdom.” But Dodge fell in love with these otherworldly plants as she began a residency in 2018 in the Mojave National Preserve. She was inspired by their strangeness, their symbiotic relationships, and their sensitivity.
“I spent every day of two weeks visiting the Joshua trees and getting to know them on an individual and personal level,” Dodge said. “I was fascinated by the bold, frightening shapes they created against the desert sunrise, and captivated by the warm, beautiful stories they told beneath their spikey exterior.”
And, I was deeply inspired their ability to survive within a very small area of Earth, while feeling devastated by the knowledge that the species could be decimated within my lifetime.”
Climate models have shown that this iconic plant, which exists only in the Mojave Desert region of the US between 1,300 and 5,900 feet elevation, will lose 90 percent of its range in eastern California by 2100.
Basically, the Joshua trees, which grow to more than 40 feet tall, reproduce and disperse too slowly to keep up with climate change. They have survived this long because they developed a shallow network of roots, that spreads about 18 feet around each plant to suck up the infrequent rainwater.
Without nectar to attract pollinators, Joshua Trees rely solely on the tiny yucca moth for pollination, a creature that at first appears unassuming but on closer inspection sports unique bizarre, tentacle-like fronds from its mouth. And the yucca moth depends on the Joshua Tree for its survival.
Over Dodge’s time in the Mojave National Preserve, and also during a 2019 residency in the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve in Lancaster, Calif., Dodge continues to get to know these plants, who she now considers her friends.
“Like many of my human friends, they have a tough exterior, but a sweetness within,” Dodge explained. “They need us now and with this exhibit I hope to bring more awareness of their plight.”
In the exhibit, she deconstructs the Joshua Tree spikes into separate stories of survival, love, and loneliness. She deconstructs photos of the plants into a scribbled S.O.S. on their behalf. And she constructs a powerful installation that shows ugliness and beauty are as symbiotic as the Joshua Tree and the yucca moth.

Health Care and Behavioral Health Providers:
Registering for a Vaccine Clinic Appointment
I am a health care provider. How do I register for a vaccine clinic?
Health care and behavioral health providers who are interested in getting the vaccine can submit this Form.
PRECAUTIONS: FLU VACCINE, ILLNESS AND ANTIBIOTICS
I just got my flu shot, how long should I wait to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Given the lack of data on COVID-19 vaccines administered simultaneously with other vaccines, the vaccine series should routinely be administered alone, with a minimum interval of 14 days before or after administration with any other vaccine.
I am taking antibiotics, am I able to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
There is no evidence that acute illness reduces vaccine efficacy or increases vaccine adverse events. However, as a precaution with moderate or severe acute illness, all vaccines should be delayed until the illness has improved. Mild illnesses (e.g., upper respiratory infections, diarrhea) are NOT contraindications to vaccination. Do not withhold vaccination if a person is taking antibiotics.
APPOINTMENTS AND REGISTRATION
Why won’t the insurance page boxes accept my information?
Insurance Page. If the boxes are gray, they are not required. Select [Save & Continue] to move forward.
How do I know which vaccine is being used when I register?

Upon registering, when you get to the vaccine consent page, the type of vaccine that is going to be offered during that clinic will be listed. There will also be an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) fact sheet that you can read to learn about the vaccine and answer any questions you may have.

“Fascinating . . . a lively and perceptive cultural history.” —Annette Gordon-Reed, The New Yorker In this wide-ranging, brilliantly researched work, David S. Reynolds traces the factors that made Uncle Tom’s Cabin the most influential novel ever written by an American. Upon its 1852 publication, the novel’s vivid depiction of slavery polarized its American readership, ultimately widening the rift that led to the Civil War. Reynolds also charts the novel’s afterlife—including its adaptation into plays, films, and consumer goods—revealing its lasting impact on American entertainment, advertising, and race relations.
There's no accounting for taste. That must be why so many accountants are buying Groo collections! This trade paperback collects the latest and greatest adventures of Groo, the world's stupidest barbarian. In a savage land of another era, a goodly segment of the world has long been under the heavy thumb of the evil, power-mad despot known as Pipil Khan. The tyrant wants nothing more than to name an heir and shuck his mortal coil, but one thing stands in his way: Groo! It seems Khan just can't rest easy until Groo is out of the way. He'll give his kingdom to the one of his sons who can accomplish this. One of them has a foolproof plan how to do it. Unfortunately for him, it may be that no plan is foolproof enough to thwart Groo. Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Sergio Aragones and "World's Greatest Soccer Mom" Award-winning wordsmith Mark Evanier bring you more moronic mayhem from the barbarian who made "mulch" a household word.

Babakov's crime? Writing a book called Uncle Joe, a devastating insight into what it was like to work for Stalin. So determined is Harry to see Babakov released and the book published, that he puts his own life in danger. His wife Emma, chairman of Barrington Shipping, is facing the repercussions of the IRA attack on the Buckingham. Some board members feel she should resign, and Lady Virginia Fenwick will stop at nothing to cause Emma's downfall. Sir Giles Barrington is now a minister of the Crown, and looks set for even higher office, until an official trip to Berlin does not end as a diplomatic success. Once again, Giles's political career is thrown off balance by none other than his old adversary, Major Alex Fisher, who once again stands against him at the election. But who wins this time? In London, Harry and Emma's son, Sebastian, is quickly making a name for himself at Farthing's Bank in London, and has proposed to the beautiful young American, Samantha. But the despicable Adrian Sloane, a man interested only in his own advancement and the ruin of Sebastian, will stop at nothing to remove his rival.

With all the trademark twists and turns that have made him one of the world's most popular authors, the spellbinding story of the Clifton and the Barrington families continues.

In this path-breaking book, Rodger Streitmatter takes readers on a sightseeing tour of American history as influenced by the public press, visiting sixteen landmark events in US history, from the American Revolution and the civil rights movement to Watergate and 9/11. These are events that stir the political imagination; but, as Streitmatter shows, they also demonstrate how American journalism, since the 1760s, has not merely recorded this nation's history but has played a role in shaping it. This book is the first of its kind. Streitmatter avoids the mind-numbing lists of names, dates, and newspaper headlines that bog down the standard journalism history textbook. Instead, he focuses on a limited number of episodes, identifying common characteristics within the news media. The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on social media and the election of Barack Obama. This edition also looks beyond traditional journalistic outlets such as newspapers and television news reports to examine the modern-day role that the Internet and its various venues play in reporting the news and shaping history.

A provocative, timely assessment of the state of free speech in America With his best seller The Working Poor, Pulitzer Prize winner and former New York Times veteran David K. Shipler cemented his place among our most trenchant social commentators. Now he turns his incisive reporting to a critical American ideal: freedom of speech. Anchored in personal stories—sometimes shocking, sometimes absurd, sometimes dishearteningly familiar—Shipler’s investigations of the cultural limits on both expression and the willingness to listen build to expose troubling instabilities in the very foundations of our democracy. Focusing on recent free speech controversies across the nation, Shipler maps a rapidly shifting topography of political and cultural norms: parents in Michigan rallying to teachers vilified for their reading lists; conservative ministers risking their churches’ tax-exempt status to preach politics from the pulpit; national security reporters using techniques more common in dictatorships to avoid leak prosecution; a Washington, D.C., Jewish theater’s struggle for creative control in the face of protests targeting productions critical of Israel; history teachers in Texas quietly bypassing a reactionary curriculum to give students access to unapproved perspectives; the mixed blessings of the Internet as a forum for dialogue about race. These and other stories coalesce to reveal the systemic patterns of both suppression and opportunity that are making today a transitional moment for the future of one of our founding principles. Measured yet sweeping, Freedom of Speech brilliantly reveals the triumphs and challenges of defining and protecting the boundaries of free expression in modern America. From the Hardcover edition.

With Queen Rulette gone, and Astorya returning to normal, you decide to journey to Astorya's Other Side, a place of monsters and mayhem, to hide the Original original forever. Surely nothing bad could happen to Astorya's precious document there, right? But when the plan goes awry and digital doppelgangers are unleashed on the world, once again only you can save the day. Write, draw, and puzzle your way through a hilarious adventure story that is unique to every reader! And, most importantly, prove that the pencil is mightier than the sword.

I love cabbage of all colors but I particularly love red cabbage. It’s sweet and sour flavor goes well with assertive meats like duck, goose or venison; and with bland meats like chicken breasts. Toss it with pasta, eat it over potatoes, add it to sandwiches…..
When one is cooking for two and cooking something the size of a cabbage it’s important that the result be flexible.
We like it tossed with sliced smoked sausages and pasta, or smothering a couple of chicken breasts with it and braising the whole lot. Finish with a dollop or two of Greek yogurt.
It was perfect for the Instant Pot, but you could do it in a Dutch oven for an hour or so. I did the other half in the slow cooker with pork chops. We couldn’t decide which version was better.

We still had a bit leftover at the weekend so I decided it would make a great salad.
I let it warm to room temperature, then added a tiny vinaigrette that I whisked up, about 2 tbs. I dipped a few slices of goat cheese in bread crumbs and quickly fried them in olive oil.
Voilà l’entrée !
In France, entrée is the first course or starter. The main course is the plat principal.
Thought you’d like to know…..

I just had to send this to ma femme. She hates cooking but makes a delicious Rotkohl for which she is somewhat famous. With a shorter time needed monitoring in the kitchen, perhaps she’ll make it more often!
I agree with ta femme. I am in constant search of recipes that I can ignore these days. Lucky you to have the famous Rotkohl.
I love almost any kind of cabbage as well. I’ve made cabbage and noodles using the red, but it wasn’t as great as using green or savoy. That’s okay, live and learn. I will say, making cabbage and noodles with the savoy, using pappardelle noodles was excellent! The more delicate noodles worked perfectly with the lighter texture of the cabbage.
For some reason, the Savoy has been small and not very nice this year – but there has been more ‘white’, which is now in my fridge. It’s going to be a delicious few days coming up ‘-)

The Last Days Of Lehman Brothers Review: City *ankers Sweat It Out
THE LAST DAYS OF LEHMAN BROTHERS: Wednesday 9th September, BBC2, 9pm ALERT ME
In September 2008 the investment banker fraternity cemented its position as public enemy number one and despite a valiant effort from some penny-pinching MPs, they have yet to be displaced.
Nearly a year later, wearing a pin-stripe suit on the tube is still not advisable.
But how many of us torch-waving yokels actually understand what happened during that crucial weekend when Lehman Brothers came crashing down? I certainly didn’t and to be honest, after watching this programme I still don’t – but it is slightly clearer.
This is an engaging piece of television and a fine achievement for the BBC who have accomplished some excellent results on a limited time-scale and budget (there is a recession on after all).
As the most adroit of you may have guessed, the content centres around the last days of Lehman Brothers – but those with an understandable aversion to financial documentaries should not fear, for this is as sharp and interesting as the FT is pink and boring.
With notable turns from some excellent British actors (including James Bolam and James Cromwell), the writers have produced a script which bridges the gap between drama and satire very effectively.
There is even a quick idiot’s guide to what caused the whole mess in the first place, which I committed to memory in an attempt to impress the next person unlucky enough to start a conversation with me about the financial crisis.
The programme starts by introducing us to a maniacally unhinged Dick Fuld, CEO of Lehman Brothers – portrayed by Corey Johnson who gratuitously plays the bank boss to the hilt.
The accuracy of the scene in which he slumps to the floor in tears as the unthinkable finally happens is open to question, but we begin to understand how he believed the US government would bail the bank out – as it had done to all the others – until the very last minute.
Ensuing recreations of what may (or may not) have happened behind the closed doors of New York’s federal reserve as the CEOs of Lehman’s rival banks considered the potential fall-out from the biggest bankruptcy in American history, are also palpable.
I wonder if that toxic asset Fred Goodwin will be watching?

A dual-antigen, dual-isotope assay has been used to monitor the migratory behavior of selectively labeled antiallogeneic lymphocytes in mice challenged subcutaneously in all four foot pads with semiallogeneic spleen cells. 3H-labeled anti-C3H and 14C-labeled anti-C57BL lymphocytes of DBA/2J origin were pooled and adoptively transferred to multiple groups of previously challenged DBA/2J recipients. In some of the studies, separate groups of recipients were challenged with either CDF or BDF spleen cells in all four paws, whereas in others CDF spleen cells were used to challenge the right paws of each mouse in the group and BDF spleen cells to challenge the left paws of each mouse in the group. At intervals varying from 24 to 96 h after challenge, a subgroup of four mice from each appropriate group was sacrificed and the relative numbers of anti-C3H and anti-C57BL lymphocytes present in the challenged paws, draining lymph nodes, and other tissues of each mouse were inferred from the mean 3H/14C ratios of the respective tissues of that subgroup. The results of these studies firmly establish that specific antiallogeneic lymphocytes are selectively recruited to the paws and draining lymph nodes of mice challenged subcutaneously in the foot pads with semiallogeneic spleen cells and are deleted from their circulating blood and nondraining lymph nodes. A mechanism for antigen-induced selective recruitment and its possible functional significance in tumor immunology are discussed.
