Jackfruit article grumblings...

I think I'm becoming the Curmudgeonly Fruit Lord, but this bugged me:

Philippines: Unconventional breeding yields sweeter jackfruit (Freshplaza)

The article talks about "unconventional breeding", as though it was some novel, exciting approach. Yet when you read further, it turns out that "unconventional breeding" consists of driving around and looking for good-looking plants. That's neither novel nor breeding. Selection is a part of breeding, but it's not all there is to it.

And then we're supposed to be impressed that it was "developed" in just three fruiting years. Except of course they didn't actually develop anything...just picked a winner from the existing options.

Yeah, they didn't do anything original here... gotta love the spin you can put on things by adding a few extra numbers. Although I will have to say that I've never tried jackfruit... what's it like?

A blender is necessary to break up and blend the fruits and other ingredients in a smoothie. This is something that a juicer cannot do.

I didn't think the drink was pitaya, though there was some resemblance. Fred and I thought that the seeds were different. I do have to say that the lemonade I had at that restaurant for lunch (where we ate out on the terrace) was the best I've ever tasted. And it's always fun to see peafowl running around...

Like Bees to Honey, the new novel by the extremely fabulous Caroline Smailes is out this month - in fact, it's on sale on Amazon right now (click HERE to buy yours). I've already got a copy which I can't wait to get stuck into. Not only does it look absolutely gorgeous, the plot sounds fantastic, and just from flicking through, you can see there are all sorts of interesting, quirky design details inside. I think it's going to be a corker.

Mothers know little about the Alpine Loonies
They would faint to see those sharp drops,
their babies on icy tightropes, fast melting
And do they beckon French or Italian angels?
The impossible infants are now unreachable,
only looking up, no chance of going back

Revolutions are, in the scheme of history, very very rare things, and incidents of revolution can be counted on one hand - French, Chinese, Russian, Iranian and - for some - American. There are a handful of others that might be considered revolutions, depending on who you talk to.

In no way do I mean to downplay the very, very large significance of what is happening in Iran, however, it almost certainly is not a revolution, at least as far as the word is construed in world of political theory.

Phil, I am with you on PPs, but am becoming strongly opposed to the use of utility patents in plant protection. Rather than encouraging innovation, UPs as they are currently being used at least in ornamentals and vegetables stifle innovation.

I'm currently 200-odd pages into Joe Abercrombie's The Heroes. Still under a third of the way through, but one thing I can say is that I've laughed more already than I did during the entirety of Best Served Cold. And this is undoubtedly a good thing, since one of the elements I liked most about The First Law trilogy was the wry humour that permeated the story - a trait I felt was noticeably lacking in Best Served Cold. Anyway, more thoughts later once I've finished the book (won't be long, given the speed I'm ripping through it).

Fourteen years have passed since the events of A Betrayal in Winter. The Galts, having seen their previous attempts at influencing the politics of the Khaiem meet with mixed success, have decided to take a more direct route: invasion. Such brute force was never previously viable; the Khaiem had the andat to protect them, and their wrath would be devastating. Yet a Galtic general by the name of Balazar Gice thinks he has found a way to nullify the andats' threat. If he is right, an ambitious military campaign could see the defenseless cities of the Khaiem conquered within a few months. If he is wrong, Galt will be erased from the map. Either way, the world will be changed forever.

We know Laura as a teacher, avid hiker, camper, surfer, stargazer, birder, tree hugger, nature lover, and lover of life, which is all reflected in her receiving her Masters Degree in Wildlife Biology. We know that she was distressed by the amount of trash that has accumulated on the trails and shorelines of this island paradise.

Obviously, the devil is in the details, and it will take a closer analysis of the poll by poll results to tell what really happened (such an analysis should follow in the next week or so). In the meantime, we can construct two different, although substantially similar, versions of what happened yesterday in Glenmore. Over the next couple of days, I'll write on each of these scenarios.

In truth, the only thing that is straightforward about this film is the premise: mysterious mute viking warrior (named One-Eye by his young companion, though that's clearly not his real name...if he even has one) escapes his pagan captors and falls in with a bunch of Christian crusaders who are en route to Jerusalem. One-Eye joins their crusade (for his own reasons that are not divulged) and things go pear-shaped when the crusaders somehow end up in America as opposed to the Middle East. From then on, things get very weird indeed...

Apples and pumpkins abound this season, but what I’m really craving is berries. The antioxidant-rich fruits star in a slew of new products designed to keep your skin radiant and younger-looking from head to toe. Dennis Gross, MD, NYC überderm and creator of MD Skincare, uses real, crushed cranberry and blueberry seeds in his incredibly effective Antioxidant Enzyme Buff. (The ultra-gentle body polish also includes organic aloe, a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient that the company’s bright-skinned president and CEO, Carrie Gross, even injests.) Meanwhile, Fresh Sugar Açaí Age-Delay Body Cream contains açaí—the most hyped-about Brazilian import since Adriana Lima—to smooth and soften limbs. Try both for skin so silky, it's plum-b crazy.

The third survivor has been named as Manrico Gianpetroni, an Italian national and a senior member of the crew. He has serious leg injuries.

He was placed on a stretcher and winched up to a rescue helicopter, to be taken to hospital on the mainland.

Two French passengers and a Peruvian crew member died, and another 30 people were injured, two seriously.

Even locksmith Sofia noticed that my girls are very close, especially with the most experienced and naporista intern. The two were inseparable. Locksmith Sofia plans began to think how to take advantage of their friendship, for to get closer to the lock so Gerda-intern said that was his heart. Soon locksmith Sofia found that all trainees sleep in her house because she was great and gave them rooms for rent.

Gerda explained everything that had happened before: he had talked to four people, each repeatedly robbed, who are angry and frustrated and want this lawlessness to put kray.Gerda told Kaka has called the government to ask Gerda locks when you hit the mass market, as was promised in the beginning and from there how he responded that it is uncertain whether it will ever happen because the government wants to keep for themselves the technology.
