"Service" is the fourth episode of the seventh season of AMC's The Walking Dead. It is the eighty-seventh episode of the series overall. It premiered on November 13, 2016. It was written by Corey Reed and directed by David Boyd.
Alexandria gets a sobering visit.
Michonne and Rick lie in bed, back to back. Michonne turns and gazes at Rick who she believes is sleeping before quietly slipping out of bed, getting dressed, and retrieving a hidden sniper rifle from the living room fireplace. Rick quietly watches as she leaves the house with her katana and rifle.
Michonne sits on top of a rusty truck in the middle of a field. She scans her surroundings; the rifle rests on her lap.
Back at the house in Alexandria, Rick picks up Judith from her crib.
Rosita and Spencer drive up to the gate, preparing to leave for a supply run. Spencer asks Eugene if he would like to help. Eugene states he is repairing a portable audio system for the Saviors. Negan arrives with a large group of over 30 Saviors; Daryl is among them, looking injured and pale. Negan bangs on the gate and demands to be let in; Spencer opens the gate for them, after initially not recognising Negan. Rick meets Negan at the gate and notes that he came earlier than planned. Negan strides into Alexandria and thrusts Lucille into Rick's hands, saying, "Hold this."
Rick tries to check in with Daryl, whose face is swollen and bruised, but Negan forbids Rick or any of the Alexandrians from speaking to him otherwise they will face consequences. Rick tells Negan that they already set aside half of their supplies, but Negan says he'll be the one to decide which supplies to take. Arat, one of Negan's lieutenants, orders the Saviors to start searching the houses. Dwight confiscates Rosita and Spencer's guns and taunts them by taking Rosita's hat and pouring her water out. He orders them to bring back Daryl's motorcycle. Rosita and Spencer leave Alexandria.
In the field, Michonne sits patiently on the rusty truck, waiting. When a walker comes into view, she aims her rifle at it and shoots, missing numerous times. She kills the walker out of frustration with her katana.
Back in Alexandria, Saviors haul furniture out of residents' homes. Negan inquires about Maggie's whereabouts. Gabriel asks if Negan wants to pay his respects. "She didn't make it?", Negan asks. Rick says nothing, but shakes his head hesitantly. Gabriel leads Negan to the graveyard where Glenn, Abraham, and supposedly Maggie are buried. Negan rues Maggie's death, saying he'd planned on asking her to join him as his wife at his compound. Rick quietly seethes with anger and tightens his grip on Lucille, but quickly relaxes. Moments later, they hear a gunshot.
In the infirmary, Carl holds David, a Savior, at gunpoint. He orders David to return some of the medicine he took. Rick begs Carl to lower his gun. Negan jokes about Carl's fearlessness, and Carl finally complies after Negan threatens to harm more people. As a precaution, Negan declares that he's confiscating all the guns in Alexandria.
Olivia takes a group of Saviors to the armory. Negan tells Rick he'll leave their food untouched to ensure that they remain strong enough to collect for him. Negan commands Rick to thank him, but Rick refuses. Negan says that Rick is the one who forced Negan's hand and that is why he should thank him. Negan asks if anyone keeps guns outside of the armory. Rick assures him that all their guns are kept in storage.
Out in the woods, Rosita and Spencer find Daryl's motorcycle where they had previously hidden it. Spencer begins to question Rick's leadership, unaware that Rosita was heading into the woods as Spencer loads the motorcycle into their van.
Arat informs Negan that two guns are missing from the armory. A disappointed Negan threatens to kill Olivia if Rick doesn't find the missing guns. Rick calls a meeting with the residents of Alexandria in an attempt to locate the missing guns. Ignoring the question about the missing guns, Eric asks Rick how he plans to get them out of their situation with Negan. Rick emphasizes that there's no way out; Negan is in charge. He asks if anyone has the guns. Eugene notes that some people are absent from the meeting.
Rosita hunts down the undead Saviors present during Denise's death and kills them. She takes a gun from Neil's corpse, but it has no bullets. Spencer tracks her down and chastises her. Rosita tells him that she's looking for guns on the assumption that Negan will confiscate all the guns in Alexandria. She says that they don't have to live this way.
While Rick, Gabriel, and Aaron search Spencer's house for the missing guns, Rick commends Gabriel on his ruse with Negan earlier at the graveyard: "It was quick thinking. Thank you." Gabriel is optimistic that they will prevail in the end, despite Rick's insistence that there is no way out. Rick then finds the missing guns stashed in an air vent, under the floor of Spencer's house. He also finds several stolen food items and liquor bottle.
Outside, David taunts Enid in the street, stroking her face and making a scene. Rick brings the missing guns to Negan. Rosita and Spencer return as Negan gathers his group at the gate and the Saviors begin to leave in small groups. Rick sees Michonne lurking in a dilapidated house nearby, watching them. Rick asks Negan if he can give him "a second." Negan refuses, and Rick rephrases and says, "Please, can you just give me a second?" Negan permits Rick to speak with Michonne.
Rick tells Michonne that he knows about her secret rifle and that he knew that she was using it for target practice sessions. He urges her to hand over the rifle, arguing that more people will die if the Saviors find an Alexandrian with a gun.
Rick gives Negan Michonne's rifle, making up a cover story for her saying she was out hunting. Rick then goes on to ask if Daryl can stay in Alexandria, since they've followed the rules and gave Negan half of their supplies. Negan asks Daryl if he wants to stay. Daryl remains obediently silent.
Dwight takes the motorcycle from Spencer and rides up to Daryl and says, "You can have it back; just say the word." Daryl remains silent, so Dwight drives off.
Negan refuses to leave Alexandria until Rick thanks him. "Thank you," Rick concedes. A walker approaches, and Negan turns to kill it. Rick once again tightens his grip on Lucille as he contemplates killing Negan, but decides against it. Negan retrieves Lucille on his way out, saying that he can't forget her. Despite Rick's cooperation, Negan ridicules him to his face. The Saviors leave with half of the Alexandrians' belongings, and Daryl, in tow.
Rick closes the gate and privately chews out Spencer for hoarding supplies saying that he is small, weak, and that he has gotten lucky. Spencer says they should've made a deal with Negan when they had the chance; he then blames Rick for Glenn and Abraham's deaths. Rick threatens to break Spencer's jaw and knock his teeth out if he says anything like that again.
Rosita confronts Spencer about the hidden guns and asks why he didn't mention them. "You saw what I did to get one," she says. Spencer explains that he hid the guns for a while because he didn't trust Rick, and he was worried about Rick being in charge. He muses that Rosita was correct; they don't have to live like they are. When he leaves, Rosita reaches into the wheel well of her car, retrieving the gun she took from Neil in the woods.
Rick spreads blankets on the bedroom floor at home, mentioning that the Saviors took most of their mattresses. Michonne assures Rick that she doesn't have any more secret guns. She reminds him that they've survived as long as they have because they always fight back, but Rick says there are too many Saviors: "It's about the numbers." Michonne mentions the Hilltop, but Rick says that even with the Hilltop, they're still outnumbered. He reveals his thoughts on Judith not being his biological daughter, and says he learned to accept it in order to keep her alive. He tells Michonne that she has to learn to accept their situation with Negan — they all do — or it won't work. "This is how we live now," he says. Michonne says she'll try to accept it.
Michonne returns to the rusty truck in the grassy field. She sees a wisp of smoke in the distance and goes to investigate. She finds all the mattresses from Alexandria smoldering on the side of the road and rages with anger.
In Alexandria, Rosita picks up an empty shell casing from the gun Negan shot earlier that day and pays Eugene a visit. "Make me a bullet," she says.

This episode marks Andrew Lincoln's 75th appearance on the TV Series.
This episode is extended, with a length of 85 minutes (with commercials).
This episode shares with "Here's Not Here" for being aired in a 90-minute time frame and not being a season premiere or finale.
Coincidentally, both are the fourth episode of their respective seasons.
The title of the episode, "Service", comes from when Negan and his Saviors arrive at Alexandria for their first offering.
Talking Dead revealed it had been three days since the events in "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be", which is why Rick told Negan he was early.
A fan theory that Daryl blinked a message to Rick in Morse code, went viral online in the week after the episode aired. Showrunner Scott Gimple eventually addressed the theory, stating "This theory makes it official that this show has the greatest viewers and fans around. I would...like to live in a world where Daryl Dixon intimately knew Morse code, and intimately knew that Rick knew Morse code. I love the amount of attention and imagination that is brought to this show by the audience. It was an incredibly sunny day. I think the theory actually could be correct, but not within the story."[1]
Negan sings the beginning of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony before entering Alexandria. That four-note motif is widely considered to represent "fate knocking at the door".
A Savior tries to take some green balloons from Enid, which she and Glenn had acquired while returning to Alexandria in "Heads Up".
Negan drinks a can of orange soda that Denise had retrieved to give to Tara as a gift.
Negan shooting the window in Alexandria is likely an allusion to the "broken window" theory mentioned by Rick in "Spend".[2]
In "18 Miles Out", Rick states to Shane that he suppressed the urge to break his jaw and let him choke on his teeth after learning of his affair with Lori. Rick makes a similar threat to Spencer in this episode for provoking him about the deaths of Glenn and Abraham.
On Talking Dead, it was noted that the actors portraying Olivia and Negan had a hard time filming their lines with each other because of Ann Mahoney's sense of humor, and they both kept giggling.
Rick expresses his thought in this episode that Judith is Shane's baby.
Josh McDermitt had also reportedly been brought to tears upon reading the scene between Rick and Michonne and the revelation of Judith's parentage.

Goofs/Errors
When Rosita encounters zombified Neil, his hair is much longer compared to his appearance in "Twice as Far". Also, despite the fact that it has been days since the ambush in the woods, Neil and the other zombified Saviors are still very close to the ambush site heading away from it as if they just reanimated.
When Negan fires the bullet into the window, the gun is a Desert Eagle XIX pistol, which can be chambered for .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum (both normally only used for revolvers) or .50 Action Express (.50AE) rounds. The pistol looks like a .50AE.
At the end of the episode, when Rosita picks up the spent casing from that shot, the headstamp is clearly visible as .375 Magnum, a rimmed cartridge. She takes it to Eugene demanding that she "Make me a bullet" for the pistol she had recovered near Daryl's motorcycle. However, the pistol she recovered appears to be a .45 caliber, either a Colt 1911-style or Browning Hi-Power-styel that would require a .45ACP round, which is rimless. The rimmed casing is not adaptable to her new gun, both due rim and the mismatched diameter.

No Thanks, Raiders Haters
Let me begin by saying that I've been (relatively) impressed by the media's treatment of Lane Kiffin. I've found the coverage of our new coach, at least recently, to be generally fair and respectful.
Nevertheless, you can always count on Sports Irritating, I mean, Illustrated, to offend the Raider Nation with some genuinely (and suspiciously) bad advice, such as their columnist last year telling us to re-sign Kerry Collins "before it's too late," or their roving crackpot suggesting that Eddie Debartolo and Carmen Policy could take over the Raiders. This week, we get the following draft advice from their star NFL columnist: "1. Raiders - Trade down to No. 6 for the Redskins' first- and second-round picks in 2008 plus WR Antwaan Randle El, and choose QB Brady Quinn. (Washington takes WR Calvin Johnson.)"
Randle El started 16 games last year and racked up a grand total of 351 yards. Our third receiver, Ronald Curry, started four games and racked up 727 yards on the league's worst offense. Yet we're supposed to covet Randle El? Where do these guys get this stuff? The Raiders should choose Brady Quinn over JaMarcus Russell, and the Redskins should essentially hand over their 2008 draft for the privilege of drafting a wide receiver? I'm sure Mr. Davis and Daniel Snyder are working out the details as I write.
They need to stop dispensing crack from the vending machines at the Sports Illustrated cafeteria.

Looks like we play the NFC West this year for preseason.

PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/
default.htm?mode=afcwest
this article is very interesting with regards to what might be happening with our pick. this tells me that russell wasn't kiffin's first choice or probably quinn either for that matter. the fact that they wanted someone else (shaub) other than a QB from this draft tells me they are leaning towards johnson.
moss' status of course holds the key here. the way out of paying a rookie receiver a guaranteed $30 mil signing bonus is to trade down a spot or 2.
Sports Sillystrated has a purpose to.
We need something to paper train our dogs with.
Calico Jack said...
No matter how many draft day speculative scenarios are mentioned (some far fetched, some reasonable), I still can't see Al trading down.
I might be wrong but I can see only 2 legitimate scenarios;
(1) Draft JRuss at #1 + keep Moss
(2) Sign Carr, draft CJ at #1, trade/release Moss
Raider Take said...
Calico Jack, here's a scenario you're missing:
We trade down so that we can get Antwaan Randle El and Brady Quinn, and an extra first rounder next year, from a team that's so desperate for a wide receiver that they would...Oh, sorry, temporary insanity.
No, actually, I don't think you're missing anything, although I'd like to submit the following: Draft Russell at #1, but also trade Moss for a high second round pick and a few other pieces so that we can grab a young running back in the second round while also addressing the offensive or defensive lines. Moss devalued himself, so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a king's ransom on that front.
Dog training!? Classic.
RT - I listed what I thought were the 2 most likely scenarios but I would be quite pleased to take JRuss and trade Moss ... for a box of crispy creme donuts.
Moss is like a black cloud hanging over the organization. To start a minty fresh chapter in Raiders history with Victory Lane at the helm, Moss needs to be sent packing.
Stuffing our cap coffers...$7.8M
Getting rid of "I quit on you" Moss...priceless
I have to disagree here on the Moss consensus. Sure, he was disgruntled last season and let it be known. How would you feel playing for Art Shell's team last season?
I think that all Randy really wants is to win. And when he isn't winning he is unhappy. A winning team could change all of that. Yeah, he had a bad attitude, but he was no T.O. and certainly not a distraction like Pacman.
Having said that, if Kiffin can convince Moss to put out 100% effort this year then I still think he is better than 90% of the other WR's in the league. We have to pay him either way so we may as well get the most out of him this season. Also, if he performs well this year it makes him that much more valuable next year to any team who would be looking to pick him up in a trade, so I think his effort will be much higher this season.
Bottom line, keep Moss, draft the best guy available (C.J.) or trade down to our best suited pick - offensive lineman.
I would also look to sign David Carr and let him compete with Walter for the starting job and seek a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round - perhaps Troy Smith?
I'm with you, Calico Jack.
JD, fair points. However, Moss's dispiriting double talk started under Norv Turner (remember his ESPN radio interview in 2005?). And while Moss may not have been a T.O. in terms of off-field distractions, T.O.'s effort on the field remains unquestioned. The fact that Moss needs to be "convinced" to give 100 percent is enough for me to say adios.
Who's this idiot Tom Martinez? He obviously hasn't talked to Heartland.
No, Unlike Martinez ...I wasn't hired by Russell agent.( or Calvin Johnson's for that matter)
What do you expecy an employee of Russell to say??? ? Don't you read the whole article?
Hillary Clinton's political adviser is quoted as saying "She's the best candidate for president ever". Wow what an endorsement...that sure is going to make me vote for her..LMAO
The media wasn't the main reason we only won two games last year. In fact, most of the preseason projections from various writers had Oakland accurately dead in the water for the 2006-7 season. Can't blame the media for tooting their own horn when the Raiders played as poorly as they predicted. In this week's online article, SI's Peter King (who has definitely had many a negative thing to say about the team) wrote a very encouraging article about Coach Kiffin and the new era in Oakland. My point is that the writers who have been dancing on our graves will be the same bums who start praising Al's wisdom when we start posting some W's. There are enough writers in the JR camps and the CJ camps that will see draft day as the pivotal moment of the season and I assure you that you will see start seeing notorious Raider-haters dishing out some love if we play our cards right. Wouldn't you be bashing a football team if they hired an offensive coordinator with Tom Walsh's credentials?
R2G, good points. First off, I began my take by praising the media's coverage of Lane Kiffin (for the same reasons you cited). Also, I have no problem with folks dishing dirt on the 2006 season, as long as the criticism is fair (I've done plenty of dishing myself). But King's latest draft advice does not relate to Kiffin or last year.
If you're going to dispense crazy-ass questionable advice regarding my team in the world's largest sports publication, then you're going to get jeered in Raider Take, it's as simple as that.
RT-
was over at SI the other day and, just for your info, crack is in between Reese's Peanut Butter cups and Twizzlers in the SI candy machine. They also have Rohypnol in the soda machine....
Also agree an extra 2 for Moss would be best, he'd be gone and we'd have five picks [JaMarcus plus four] in the first three rounds to fill offensive holes...
I don't think we'll get anything for Moss. Therefore it's likely he'll be forced on us. And if that's the case, I think Kiff ought to deal with it by making Moss earn his spot. If Moss isn't interested in earning his spot, and we can't trade him, then just deactivate him for every game and have him sit the season out. After everyone begins to forget his name, we'll see how his clothing line does.
calico said: I would be quite pleased to take JRuss and trade Moss ... for a box of crispy creme donuts.
you won't be holdin' on to those donuts for long 'cause russell will take 'em off your hands. just kidding :o)
heartland, god forbid billary clinton or obama bin laden get elected to this country's highest office.
i don't see moss leaving. translated: i don't see any team dumb enough to give up anything higher than a 3rd rounder for moss so he's staying. but who knows? maybe jd is right.
the fact that they REALLY were in the market for a QB tells me that they are NOT convinced at all of this crop of QB's. at least the 1st rounders they aren't. the next few weeks will be interesting.
I don't believe for a second that Al tried very hard to get a veteran QB... what Al wants, he GETS, even if it means destroying the entire team (cough MOSS cough).
And I can't remember a single draft or trade rumor that has ever came to be true with Al... I think he really enjoys fucking with everyone... it's part of being a Raider fan... we all just have to wait and see.
...oh, and could I politely ask that we leave the political BS out of here.
Puleeeaaaase.
Well let's see since everyone seems to be trying to shift oaklands attention away from Russell, a red flag should pop up in Oakland's headquarters. They would be stupid to pick up Johnson or Quinn and pass up on Russell he's a franchise quaterback in the making and it's where we should start the rebuilding. TAKE RUSSELL AND SAVE THE RAIDERS....Ted
BR - I have a slightly different viewpoint on your comment
"If Moss isn't interested in earning his spot, and we can't trade him, then just deactivate him for every game and have him sit the season out."
This is the absolute worst (and not necessary) scenario. If were unable to trade Moss and if he is anything less than 100% committed, he needs to be cut not deactivated. Why waste $7.8M in cap space and have the negativity of Moss around? It is the equivalent of paying $9.8M (Moss' 2007 salary) for bad karma.
Ted-
I thought I was the only person to smell a fish on the
"Raiders Should Take Johnson" propaganda.
No sports media outlet has ever cut us a break. Quite the contrary. Now they want to do us a favor?

AZRaider63 said...
How else do you think Al is going to come up with the $30 million to pay Jamarcus once he is drafted? (LOL).
azraider - you have a very valid point there.
look guys, and gals if any, i'm just wondering why al is sticking his nose in court once again? if not to move outta here once the lease is done in 2010, what other reason is there to keep fighting in court? this is the kind of al davis thing that really chaps my hide.
now, let's say that the statement is true with regards to trying to extend the lease.... as of 2011 the alameda team facility and land has been given up to the city/county as part of the agreement to drop the other lawsuit. so basically that facility is GONE! where they gonna practice?
like i mentioned before, those of you who live outside the bay area don't care where they call home. the raiders are the raiders no matter where they play. but we here in the bay area who grew up with this team happen to think that the raiders BELONG to OAKLAND. al davis doesn't care about all that. al davis doesn't care about what the fans think. he never has and never will because he knows they'll continue to buy tickets. sure it's his team and sure it's his business and he could do whatever he wants. when is this gonna stop?????
oh sure if he moves, i'll go down to LA for games just like i did before. but those "days" are times when i was young and single and had money to blow. these are different times but i would still go down there because...i love the raiders.
the day al davis extends the lease and stays out of the courts is the day i stop despising this man.
I would kindly disagree about the Raiders belonging to Oakland to everybody. I was raised in El Segundo, just outside LA and the Raiders practiced down the street from my house. Granted I was young and didn't understand the legal bit of it, but going to see the Raiders beat the Giants 20-10 in my first pro sports game ever is a cherished memory. So, for me as a youngin', the Raiders were the LA Raiders. Just puttin' that out there. Even if at this point I think they should stay in Oakland.
franco, with all due respect, i've been to many, many, many games in LA over those years. i've hung out at that school where they used to practice in el segundo. i've seen that old POS LA coliseum practically empty for most of those games over those years. there were only a couple of times when the stadium was full at 90K+. there was one time when attendance records were broken for a pro football game at 100K+. but for the most part in that 100 year old stadium, it was mostly empty. the people of LA don't care about pro football. they can get all the games on TV this way anyway. there's too many things to do and too many places to go in LA for the people to worry about pro football. besides, all the gang-bangers spoil it for everyone anyway. and i hear that LA never wants al davis to set foot in that county again, which i hope is true. the raiders aren't a good fit for LA. they were too hollywood in their time there making rap records, with celebrities hanging out on the sidelines during games etc.
for cryin out loud, the nfl put a franchise in houston instead of the second largest media market in the nation. as far as we oakland bay area fans, LA was only a temporary stop. oakland is home to this team. always has been. always will be. only your lordship al and his minion of yes people can take this away from us yet again, and it looks like he will. it's funny how the league says it should have a team in LA in place for the 2011 season and the lease at the oakland coliseum just happens to run out in 2010. plus the practice facility in alameda is no longer property of the team after 2010. now this new lawsuit?
smells amy trask fishy to me.
just to add to my raiders being too hollywood in LA comment, i remember an article many years ago (i forget the writer and paper) where the writer criticized the raiders for being "soft". he happened to witness a couple of players getting a manicure. one of those players was frank hawkins, a fullback in the LA years. so i walked up to hawkins at the el segundo facility they used for practice, asked him to sign my raider helmet. we chatted a bit and i asked him about that article. he said he knew of it so i asked him what did he think? his comment was "that's bullshit". as he was writing, i noticed his beautifully manicured and polished fingernails.
the players were soft in the LA years. they had other things to do just like the fans there. it would be a major mistake for davis to pick up and go back there.
I agree with your opinion on the Raiders in LA, however not necessarily that they were soft due to being in LA.
To make things clear, I am not an LA appologist. I was born in Oakland, raised in the East Bay and our family had season tickets between '74-'81.
I too believe that the Raiders are Oakland, and Oakland is the Raiders. I do think that the story you told regarding Frank Hawkins manicured fingers, the softness of the team is just as much a reflection of the times as much as it was an LA thing.
When the Raiders won their SB in LA, it was primarily an Oakland Raider team with old school players and old school attitudes.
I think that NFL players heading into the mid to late 80' and 90's were just a different breed. A younger generation of player that we see today. I think most NFL players are softer now than the players of the 70's and before.
Maybe LA just happened to speed up the process to our blue collar 70's Oakland Raiders.
I went many years without even saying Los Angeles Raiders. I never bought any LA Raider merchandise, but I always supported my team, just like you did by going to the games in So Cal.
I am older now (even some grey hair, but still younger than Blanda when he retired) and I accept the fact that they were on loan to LA. For the sake of using an over used term..."it is what it is". It was a part of our history that I have learned to accept.
I think Franco is correct on his LA point of view simply for the fact that "perception is reality". His view of the Raiders is completely different from ours, but not wrong (not trying to put words in your mouth).
His view is not something that I can identify with, but I fully respect it because he is a member if the Raider Nation.
Just my 1 cent opinion.
I was merely stating that, as a child, my coming to be as one of the Raider Nation was through their LA years. Knowing what I do now and no longer being in California, I would agree, Oakland is the rightful place the Raiders should be.
Fact is, they're still the Raiders, and I still bleed silver and black.
raiderdecoachella said...
I live in Southern Cal. roughly 80 miles from the border of Mexico, and for sure it would be more convenient for me if the Raiders where to move south, but just like everybody else agrees with you, the Raiders belong in Oakland, I am sure that Mr. Davis knows that, I am sure that if he didn't realized it, he would have already found a loophole some where and had moved the team out of Oakland.
You also said that if he signs a new contract with the city of Oakland that you will basically stop "hating" on Mr. Davis, I am sure that you realize that 2010 is only a couple of years away, I assure you that I will hold you to it!
coachella, you can hold me to it but i said that davis would need to extend the lease AND stay OUT of the courts. if he does both those things, we'll talk.

The Coca-Cola Company firmly opposes the use of child labor and has incorporated that requirement into our Supplier Guiding Principles (SGP) program for direct suppliers to the Company. Commercial agreements with direct suppliers require compliance with child labor laws under the Supplier Guiding Principles program.
When Human Rights Watch (HRW) contacted us about suspected child labor in Salvadoran sugar mills, we moved quickly to review our direct suppliers' policies and practices. Although a 2003 audit of the refinery had found no child labor, we again verified that it and its supplying mill had sound policies against employing underage youth.
During the 2004/05 harvest, representatives of The Coca-Cola Company and our Salvadoran bottling partner regularly engaged with the Salvadoran Sugar Association, local NGOs, the ILO and others related to a number of the projects underway as part of the national program to address child labor in the sugar industry. Review of the outreach programs and their impact is still on-going by the ILO and other stakeholders to identify those initiatives which show the greatest promise for success over time.
Based on a review of the programs, the Salvadoran Sugar Association and our direct suppliers will refine and enhance their most successful awareness, monitoring and outreach programs to address child labor. Further, as a result of efforts facilitated by The Coca-Cola Company, the sugar association commissioned pilot audits at several co-ops during the harvest. They plan to integrate learnings from those pilots into plans for the next harvest.
Within our roles and abilities, we and our bottling partner in El Salvador, will continue to work with our direct suppliers, the sugar association, NGOs, local officials and the International Labor Organization in El Salvador to strengthen community outreach and increase youth access to education and opportunity.


'Slumdog Millionaire' was the main movie attraction of 2008, and it has eight Oscars, including the one for Best Picture, to prove it. Compared to the grand scheme of movie budgets, the film started off with generally low funding (estimated $15 million) and has since raked in more than $141 million world wide at the box office.
Aside from this success, 'Slumdog's' story of a Mumbai teen growing up in the slums to win the grand prize on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' was made all the more special for including castmembers Azhar Ismail and Rubina Ali — both of who portrayed the lead characters' younger selves in the film and both of who were living in the real-life Mumbai slums. On the surface, it seemed like everything was finally going well for these kids once filming ended, but when the two flew back home after sharing in the Oscar celebrations, their lives were just as destitute as before.
Since returning to squalor three years ago, both child stars lost both their shacks due to a demolition initiative by authorities seeking to end illegal living conditions. Rubina also lost all of her 'Slumdog' properties — including, she recalls, her Oscar dress — when a fire ravaged the Garib Nagar slum.
At the time, both had the trust fund set up by director Danny Boyle, which kicked in this year, to look forward to, but the trust set her up in an "unfinished," graffitied apartment in a "rundown" part of the suburb. Azhar, in turn, was placed in a "down-at-heel" neighborhood; and worse yet, the trust stated it would not pay to make their living arrangements habitable.
"I still have no privacy. In the slum it was exactly the same, so what is the difference between this and the slum? I still have to share with everyone. There are seven of us, all in here," said Rubina. "What use is a shower when there is no water?" According to the child star, Boyle is not the one to blame, but instead she directs her anger at the people he charged to look after them.
As of now, the only income coming in is a monthly allowance of Rs 7,000 (approximately $128 USD), as both Rubina's parents are unable to find much work. Rubina hopes to be featured in the upcoming British film 'Lord Owen's Lady,' but has so far heard nothing from the production studio.

Offgrid Survival Survival Scenarios: Ocean or Desert?
Survival Scenarios: Ocean or Desert?
Which Hypothetical Survival Scenario Would You Rather Deal With for 7 Days?
Written by Patrick McCarthy on January 6, 2016
Where would you rather survive: lost at sea or stranded in the Sahara desert? That's our hypothetical question of the day, and we want to hear your decision in the poll below.
Water, water everywhere… but not a drop to drink.
Before you answer, we'll provide some more information on the circumstances. In either location, you'll need to survive for 7 days, and you'll be alone. The weather will be clear all week, with no rain on the forecast. There's little to no hope of rescue in either case, and you'll have the same gear in both situations, listed below:
A fixed-blade knife
3 emergency ration bars
A metal canteen containing 2 liters of clean water
The clothes on your back (long pants, a T-shirt, a hooded windbreaker, athletic shoes, and an analog wristwatch)
Windswept sand and scorching heat. That's about all you'll find in the barren Sahara desert.
In the ocean scenario, you'll be stuck smack dab in the middle of the Pacific, in an inflatable rubber survival raft (with sun shade on top). In the desert scenario, you obviously won't have a raft, but you will have a 1-person tent with some sturdy anchors for the shifting sands. Otherwise, you'll have nothing but what's listed above.
Make your choice below, and feel free to justify your decision in the comments section.
Survival Scenarios will be a recurring feature on OFFGRIDweb.com, and will ask you to make a difficult choice between two or more hypothetical situations.
We don't just want you to read our posts silently—we want to hear what you have to say. That's why we're working hard to provide more interactive content like quizzes, polls, and giveaways. Got any suggestions? Post them in the comments below, or head over to our Facebook page.

One does not need to be a PHD in World History to know that Judaism predates both Christianity and Islam and that Islam is the baby of the three. That's why the only fuel to the nonexistent denials to the rantings of Arab preachers, politicians etc that the Temple Mount is originally theirsmust be antisemitism, pure hatred of Jews and Israelis.
Unfortunately not enough Jews and Israelis really care about history and our rights to the Temple Mount and even the Land of Israel. And they don't listen carefully to what our Arab enemies are saying. The Arabs are speaking very clearly of their ultimate aim, which is our destruction and banishment, Gd forbid.
Jews who cooperate with those who ban Jews from visiting and praying on the Temple Mount are in essence also lending a hand in belittling our rights to the Land of Israel and weaken the legitimacy of the State of Israel. These two issues are actually one. That is because the Temple Mount is the essence of the Jewish Religion, which is the core of Zionism and Jewish History.
Amputating Jerusalem or parts of it from the State of Israel will only facilitate destruction, Gd forbid. The pre-June, 1967 Israel was a poor and backwards country. If we had lost the Six Days War, the country would have been destroyed. Our victory and subsequent growth has been miraculous and phenomenal, unprecedented in World History.
The Six Days War victory was without any human ally; no country helped Israel in any way. The United Nations assisted Egypt by withdrawing the so-called "peacekeeping forces," and the United States stood on the sidelines with all other countries.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu should remember that as well as I do; we are the same age. And therefore he should make it clear to Obama that we owe the United States nothing. The USA should be apologizing to Israel for supporting our enemies. Bibi must renege on his support for "two states." There must never be a Palestinian State; it would destroy the State of Israel, Gd forbid.


Mr Tamimu standing in his old field of an open-pollinated cabbage variety. His new field can be seen at the bottom of this story.
Mr Salimu Tamimu (57) from Mrua Village in Kondoa District has been in the field of local vegetable farming for 30 years. He grows tomatoes, sweet pepper, cabbages, onion, cucumbers, African eggplant and okra.
"I had no place to seek advice, while facing a lot of challenges for pest and disease control. I did not know which fertilizer to use", he said.
In March 2017 he met with SEVIA's Extension officer, Paschal Lusolela. Mr Tamimu was keen to host a demo on hybrid versus open pollinated cabbage production and sweet pepper pruning.
EWS and SEVIA (Seeds of Expertise for the Vegetable Sector of Africa) have developed a partnership that provides ongoing demonstrations to farmers to help them visualize the results of using quality vegetable seeds and good farming practices.
Being inspired by the SEVIA field day in July, Mr Tamimu is considering to buy a drip irrigation kit for 1/4 acre.


Adapted by Jennifer Jewell and Mark Cabus, this Depression-era reimaging of 'Goblin Market' is set in Southern USA. A tale of two sisters and their run-ins with goblin fruit sellers, it's a story of sisterhood and enduring love, themes which are very much at the heart of this production. It's performed by Jewell, with only a chair and a blanket for company, and classic storytelling devices are used as we see Jewell become every one of the characters. The addition of specifically recorded Bluegrass music was a welcome accompaniment, but the transitions between music and silence were a little clunky,and although it's a very strong performance, the simple direction and basic staging prevent it from wholly maintaining the audience's attention.
Greenside @ Royal Terrace, until 26 Aug.

NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa. -- A sophomore killed at Virginia Tech had attended a military prep school in Perry County.
Matthew La Porte, of Durmont, N.J., spent five years at Carson Long Military Institute in New Bloomfield.
La Porte graduated third in his class at the school and received an academic scholarship to Virginia Tech.
Col. Carson Holman, president of the institute, said La Port was "a great kid, good school citizen. It was a pleasure to have him here. It's tragic to all of us."
News 8's George Lettis is talking with teachers at Carson Long Military Institute who knew La Porte.
You can see that story this evening on News 8.


What brand do you use for the bean curd sheet? I always find the one I buy from Brisbane very salty.
Making the frozen shrimp crunchy (Dan-Ya) like fresh ones ... Use some salt to marinate the Shrimp for 15 mins and then rinse the salt w/water.
Sorry, forgot to mark down. Get back to you if I can.
What brand you use then?
I forgot the brand name, it's a China brand and I brought them from 頂好 at Sunnybank. If I wrapped it with meat and deep-fried, it tastes very salty. If I steamed it, it tastes oily and a bit tough. I've just given up making dishes with bean curd pastry even though I love them.
I got the dried bean curd sheets from Yuen's.
I often use a clean damp cloth to wipe the sheets before use. So it won't be too oily.
Dear Christine, I can't buy the can of soup (瑤柱海鮮羹) from supermarkets. How can I make the soup as a substitute?
If you can't get your hands on it, you may use any brand of chicken stock that comes in handy for you. Then cook with dried scallops and favourite seafood as a soup base for making this dish. I think it'll work too.

Nocardia pinensis sp. nov., an Actinomycete Found in Activated Sludge Foams in Australia
Linda L. Blackall1,†, J. H. Parlett3, A. C. Hayward1, D. E. Minnikin3, P. F. Greenfield2, Anne E. Harbers2

† Present address: School of Microbiology, University of New South Wales, PO Box 1, Kensington 2033, Australia.
First Published: 01 June 1989 https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-135-6-1547
A new nocardioform actinomycete was isolated by filament micromanipulation during the course of a study into foaming in activated sludge plants in Australia. It constitutes the second most prevalent foaming organism in Australia after Nocardia amarae. These two foaming organisms can be differentiated morphologically, biochemically and chemotaxonomically. The microscopic appearance of the filaments of the new taxon resembles a pine tree. The filaments are Gram-positive, non-acid-fast, non-motile, non-sheathed and about 0·5–1·0 μm in diameter. On a complex medium, the colonies are orange, opaque, macroscopically dry and friable, microscopically moist and shiny, with a pasty texture and an entire edge. The strains are positive for catalase, oxidase and urease and are oxidative in their metabolism of glucose. No strain could degrade hypoxanthine, xanthine, tyrosine, casein, gelatin or aesculin and none could grow with lysozyme. The strains contain peptidoglycan type Alγ, cell wall type IV, whole cell sugar pattern type A, phospholipid type PII, menaquinones ω-cyclo-MK-8 (H4), fatty acids comprising straight chain saturated and unsaturated acids and tuberculostearic acid, and mycolic acids with 58–64 carbons containing substantial amounts of unsaturated chains in the 2-position. The name Nocardia pinensis has been chosen for the new taxon because of the pine tree like appearance of the organism on microscopy. The type strain, UQM3063, is deposited at the University of Queensland, Department of Microbiology Culture Collection.

LAS VEGAS, NV - JUNE 03: Television personality Kim Kardashian arrives to host Rehab Sundays Pool Party at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on June 3, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Getty Images)
It's a dog-eat-dog world and unfortunately, if you're not single, skinny and good-looking, you're more likely to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
At least that's true in the corporate world, where serious advantages exist if you happen to be a the right gender or have an optimal marital status.
Recent reports show single American workers, for example, have faired far better than married people through the recession: 90 percent of reported job losses by singles have been recovered, according to CNN.
But singles aren't the only people coming out on top. That poor intern making coffee runs all day and that coworker who seems to sleep at the office may in fact be cashing in on those inconveniences and in turn cutting you in the promotion line.
Here are the 10 types of people that are coming out ahead of you at work, and some tips to help you be more like them:

Green MotorSport is a member of the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE), which every year drives around Europe powered by wind, sun or biomass energy. On the last WAVE, Gordon Foat drove his prototype service vehicle called the Tapir across 4,000 kilometers, including the highest point in Europe, powered by the sun.
Prior to the WAVE Trophy EV Rally this year, there will be several WAVEs: the Pacific WAVE, the Indian Ocean WAVE, the Atlantic WAVE, the Mediterranean WAVE and the North Sea and Baltic Sea WAVE. This year Gordon will join a colleague in the drive from Bremerhaven to the United Nations in Geneva.
The new C.E.M motor is rated at 14 kW continuous power output and when used with a 48V 550A cost effective AC motor controller can deliver peak power of 26 kW. The motor will deliver superb acceleration to 5000 rpm but its full range is 8000 rpm making single drive wheeled projects possible without a differential or extra costly gearing. The motors currently retail at £980, but there are reductions for larger volumes. Along with the motor we can supply first class control systems and batteries with battery and charger management, which have been extensively tested under arduous road conditions.
The Tapir prototype is ideally suited for urban and local driving, with a top speed of up to 50 mph and range between 50 and 100 miles, depending upon the battery size and application. The batteries are lithium phosphate and are easy to work with as the system voltage is only 48V. A full recharge takes 4 hours with our 3kW chargers but it's well within the cell parameters to charge within 1 hour with a higher powered 3 phase device. The technology is also suitable for use in electric taxis, minibuses, specialist vehicles, motorcycles and boats.
Small Car Project Progress : Keith Ashford is currently installing our GMS CEM single motor drive train into the El-Jet car. The car currently will have 400AH @ 48V giving an estimated range of over 100 miles with a charge time of only 4 hours. Top speed is estimated with the current cost effective gearbox and differential to be 55-65MPH using our CEM liquid cooled 4 pole induction motor.
The AC motor controller is rated at 650A at 48V and is also liquid cooled. Potential power output is 31kW peak and continuous at 14 kW. The cost effective gearbox/differential enables Keith to change gear for mountain climbing and for normal road conditions. The Battery management system is a kit provided by Green MotorSport which includes a current clamp, remote bluetooth State of Charge display and all the battery voltages and distance calculations required to maintain a healthy reliable battery pack. The system is CAN BUS and can work with any voltage battery pack from 12V upwards. Green MotorSport is currently researching kit car companies to see if any of the products suit our electric drivetain packages. However, we are currently also working towards a cost effective chassis to combine all of our drive train technologies.

A MILLION CHILDREN INVITED TO WRITE TO UN!
The WAVE has introduced a special event, inviting a million children, to send illustrated cards to the United Nations, calling for global warming gases to be cut. The children come from around the world, many from low lying countries which would be the first to suffer from dangerous climate change. Schools are arranging for children to prepare their messages to the UN, and advanced electric vehicles, either cars or bikes, will collect the cards from the schools and drive them to local ports. Once they are in Europe a hundred electric cars will be employed in carrying them to the UN Headquarters in Geneva, where a huge mosaic will be laid out. A drone will be stationed above the mosaic, relaying the pictures to children all around the world. This service is free to schools, which will also receive helpful information about climate change and how to keep global warming to a safe level. There is an online lesson which explains that every person on earth will have to keep their carbon dioxide emissions below 3 tonnes per year if we are to avoid global temperature rise above 2°C.
The first electric vehicle carrying the messages from children has already left Mumbai on its way to Geneva! Naveen Rabelli is driving his solar tuktuk all the way from India to Europe, picking up even more cards in Iran, Turkey and Croatia.
Naveen Rabelli's progress map can be viewed here– Between now and the WAVE Trophy EV Rally starting on 10th June, children's messages for the UN will be collected from other cities outside Europe, including Mombasa, Perth, Montevideo, Hobart, Singapore, Tunis, Durban, Odessa, Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco and St Petersburg. A short video outlining the causes and impacts of climate change and how each one of us can help to combat it is available from: www.wave.earth.
If your school would like to join the WAVE climate Project and send your letters, please contact Gordon Foat of Green MotorSport if you are in the UK. Deadline to receive letters is 1st June 2016 to Green MotorSport HQ in Woking.

There is a great demand for service vehicles and small buses in developing countries and Green MotorSport can supply them with technology which is both efficient and cheap to run. Fuel costs can be kept low as the vehicles will be powered by local renewable energy. The low voltage makes it safe for vehicle assembly as well as safer for the drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. There is no need for a high voltage grid to transmit electricity for long distances, but low voltage facilitates the use of onsite DC electricity generation from wind, sun or marine energy. Maintenance is minimal and the whole vehicle is aimed at being recyclable, saving both costs and carbon dioxide emissions. Green MotorSport's battery management systems incorporate years of expertise, including journeys on some of the roughest terrain in Europe during the WAVE events.
It is hoped that the agreement reached in Paris, where countries committed to doubling public funding for low-carbon R & D by 2020, will generate more support for engineers like Gordon of Green MotorSport, who have been working for decades largely on a voluntary basis.
A report from the Grantham Research Institute entitled Climate Change Policy, Innovation and Growth finds that there is an imbalance between support for deployment and R & D measures across the European Union, with deployment outweighing R & D support by 150 to 1! European countries have been supporting technology deployment through feed-in-tariffs for renewable energy production rather than direct R & D funding, but this approach may not provide sufficient stimulus to develop the next generation of low-carbon technologies.
Engineers aim to provide clean quiet transport in urban areas, where traffic pollution is responsible for much ill health. According to a landmark report by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, entitled Every Breath We Take – The Lifelong Impact of Air Pollution, around 40,000 deaths are caused each year by outdoor air pollution in the UK. They recommend alternatives to cars fuelled by petrol and diesel and more walking, cycling and use of public transport. They say that air pollution also plays a key role in the process of climate change which poses a major threat to our health.
Life in the oceans is suffering from carbon dioxide emissions as the water becomes warmer and the carbon dioxide increases acidification. Since the Climate Change meeting in Paris resolved to hold the global temperature rise to 2°C and preferably 1.5°C, several reports point out that sea levels could rise by much more than the projections of the UNFCCC. In the past sea levels were several metres higher when global temperatures were less than 2°C above the pre-industrial level. Dr James E Hansen, who first drew the world's attention to the danger of global warming in the 1980s, is one of the authors. His granddaughter is one of the young plaintiffs in a continuing legal battle with the United States Government for violating their constitutional rights by allowing fossil fuel burning.
Lakes, rivers and canals will also be cleaner and quieter places to enjoy as the change is made to efficient electric motors. Green MotorSport and colleagues have launched a boat on the River Thames in London called UMA and they have also provided the drive train for a canal boat. The boat is 58 feet long, 15 metric tonnes, semi traditional narrow boat, built for long term living, According to Kevin Farr the boat's owner, the date of launch is scheduled for 2017.
Whether you want to change to clean, renewable power for road vehicles or boats, Green MotorSport's high quality electric drive trains provide practical, cost effective alternatives.


East Asian Science, Technology and Society (2012) 6 (3): 379-399.
Next to the United States, Japan is the second-largest pharmaceutical market in the world in terms of expenditures. However, the regulatory issues and long clinical testing and approval time for drugs to be marketed in Japan continue to be stumbling blocks for foreign drugs in the Japanese market. In 1998, adoption of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E5 guidelines by the United States, European Union, and Japan cleared the way for the use of data generated in one member region to be used in another for drug regulatory approval purposes—a practice termed "bridging." In particular, the ICH E5 focused on a type of study termed "ethnobridging," studies conducted on a drug-by-drug basis to look at the sensitivities of a drug to "ethnic factors." Ethnobridging studies are drug trials specific to ethnic populations to assure safety, effectiveness, and dose specificity. In the last twenty years, such studies have almost always been required as part of the clinical data package needed for approval of Western drugs in the Japanese market. We examine the ways in which ethnobridging studies, based on an anthropologically questionable concept of ethnic factors as defined in ICH E5, have become a proxy for long-held cultural perceptions of "local biology" based on a notion of ethnic uniqueness and bioidentity in Japan. Ethnobridging studies, we argue, are more than venues for the production of scientific and clinical data. They produce data in concert with what Latour has termed "matters of concern," are techniques of governmentality that advance the nationalist agenda of the state in citizens' everyday lives, use pharmaceuticals as boundary objects and focal points of communication between researchers and policy makers in receptive environments, and justify state regulation of transnational flows of pharmaceuticals in a lucrative market. This is achieved through a renewed sense of bioidentity of what it means to be Japanese among both in-country and overseas Japanese. We also call attention to emergent patients' rights groups in Japan exerting pressure on the government to reduce the drug lag and provide wider access to lifesaving treatments available elsewhere but not in Japan because of its onerous clinical trials system and ethnobridging requirements.

Bryn Mawr-Skyway (pronounced  from Welsh for "big hill") is a census-designated place (CDP) in King County, Washington, United States. The population was 17,397 at the 2020 census.

Bryn Mawr-Skyway was the only CDP in the Seattle metropolitan area to have reported a majority-minority population in the 2000 census. Since that time, the area has grown even more diverse. As of the 2010 census, the demographic composition of the Skyway area is almost evenly distributed between White, Black or African American, and Asian community members.

Geography
Skyway lies in an "unincorporated island" bordered to the north by the city of Seattle, to the west by Tukwila, and to the south and east by Renton. Though it is surrounded by major municipalities, its limited infrastructure and low-income demographics have made it an unattractive area to incorporate. It is frequently along the shortest route of travel for commuters using local streets to enter Seattle from the southeast. The neighborhood was mostly developed just after World War II as affordable housing for returning veterans. The area remains an affordable area close to the high employment areas of Renton and Seattle. The name "Skyway" may be derived from the area's siting on a high ridge in western Washington's hilly terrain, a name that echoes the Welsh "Bryn Mawr" (also the name used for a village and several other places), which means "big hill".

Skyway's main business districts lie along Renton Avenue South, with one center between 68th Avenue South and 74th Avenue South, including a small casino, bowling alley, and a grocery outlet, and another district between 75th Avenue South and 78th Avenue South, including a bank branch, the fire station, multiple churches, a 7-11, some auto shops, and the public library (a branch of the King County Library System). There is also a small business district centered at Martin Luther King Way South (State Route 900) around South 129th Street. Skyway Park, with baseball fields, a creek and wetlands, and picnic areas, is located near the center of Skyway.

The Bryn Mawr-Skyway CDP is made up of many neighborhoods, including Lakeridge, Campbell Hill and Earlington, in addition to the neighborhoods of Skyway and Bryn Mawr. The community is sometimes called "West Hill".

Bryn Mawr-Skyway is located at  (47.494571, -122.236557). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of , of which  are land and , or 5.73%, are water.

When it forms a smooth, thin batter, spread 3/4 cup of the batter onto the bottom of the baking dish and put in the oven for just 2-4 minutes. Keep an eye on it and remove it before it cooks through completely. It should just start to thicken and set when it is removed from the oven.
Arrange about 4 cups of Mirabelle plums, sliced, over the hot batter. Cover with the remaining batter and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm. This recipe, taken from http://frenchfood.about.com/od/desserts/r/mirabelleclafouti.htm serves 8.
Another interesting dessert to make the most of the delicious, tart flavours of the Mirabelle plum, this time by pairing it with fragrant cardamom and fresh cream for a summery treat, is this fool recipe from a fellow blogger. You can find a fantastic recipe on the Cook Sister! blog here.
If all else fails, hit the bottle. You could soak a leftover stock of plums for months and rediscover a sweet, sharp taste of summer in the midst of winter by creating your own plum brandy. Whilst probably not the most realistic recipe for most of us (seeing as it contains a liquor sourced from Lithuania!), I couldn't resist the beautiful photos and experimental home-brewing approach to plum brandy from the Vintage Savoir Faire blog. If anyone gives this one a try, please let me know how it goes!
As with the British plum, the Mirabelle makes a fine jam and jam-making can be a great thing to do in September as the first signs of Autumn start to appear and we apparently ought to start preserving and storing foods for winter. There are a few weeks until the end of the Mirabelle plum season yet, however, but good to bear in mind in case you find yourself overrun with them!
As usual, Paul Waddington's book on Seasonal Food has some fascinating insights on the varieties and uses of seasonal plums. According to Waddington, the brief August to October British plums season is set to get shorter; as the onset of climate change leaves plums vulnerable to early tree flowering, late frosts, and shrinking or no harvests. The early season dessert varieties, and greengages in August, make delightful puddings. Waddington suggests a simple method of baking plums with water and a dusting of sugar to create fruit syrup.
As Autumn approaches and we move into October, seasonal treats such as damsons and bullaces really come to the fore. Waddington writes that both are better cooked than raw and especially good for jams, jellies, wine and gin. In fact, bullaces are not grown commercially at all (damsons a little) and so must be harvested from the wild, making an interesting treat for foraging foodies.
