For the beer connoisseur, home-grown hops are hip
San Francisco Chronicle – Sep 10, 2005
It was only a few years ago on a weekend excursion through Eastern Washington that I even saw hops growing, but when John Hershey submitted his humorous take on growing a beer garden to The Kitchen Gardener (see Page F5 today), I thought, why not? We grow grapes for wine, and enjoy its summer service as a landscape plant that screens us off from the neighbors. Hops, which grow on trellises to 30 feet, would make an equally good summer privacy screen and a primary ingredient for beer. Description: A deciduous perennial native to the Northern Hemisphere that grows to 30 feet and dies down in the fall; called a bine rather than a vine; grows from rhizomes that spread and send out side shoots; the plants are bought as “crowns…

The scene was filmed in the Bayou State. And what could be more home-grown Georgia than a movie about the Dukes of Hazzard? The deep-fried TV classic was filmed in Conyers and Covington. But the movie version? Again, shot in Louisiana. For the past three years, Louisiana has cleverly and successfully cast itself as the Hollywood of the Deep South. Armed with generous tax incentives for movie producers and romantic French Quarter vistas, the state has poached many productions from neighboring states — even Hollywood itself. There’s enough movie.

‘Foyle’s War’ returns to probe mysteries of wartime…
San Francisco Chronicle – Sep 10, 2005
Messinger wants to believe his son killed himself, but there may be more afoot here. Meanwhile, Foyle has been dallying with the idea of joining the admiralty in order to get away from being a rural cop and to contribute more toward the war effort. Of course, we know that’ll never happen, because Foyle’s work on the home front is not only valuable in and of itself, but contributes to the war effort by preserving the peace and catching the home-grown bad guys. As the story wears on, heavy hints are dropped a bit too early that the victim of the explosion may not be whom he seems, that the “dirty tricks” agency is so hell-bent on self-preservation that it is willing to bend the rules at home to stay in business, and that several pieces of evidence have been fabricated. The actual murder story line is handled so clumsily and with such obviousness that it almost obscures the real moral dilemma here, which has to do with when it is OK to pull dirty tricks, or fudge the line between right and wrong. We accept that spying, subterfuge and rule-bending may be carried out in a war against a collective enemy, but in order for the players of those dirty tricks to survive, is it equally acceptable to pull them on the home front? While there is a murder at the heart of “Enemy Fire,” the second of the new “Foyle’s” series, the show is essentially a soap opera in which Foyle finds out that his trusted driver, Samantha Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks) is in love with his Royal Air Force pilot son, Andrew (Julian Ovenden). In a show that could have been subtitled “What I Did for Love,” writer-director Anthony Horowitz focuses on the emotional toll that war can take on human lives.

Migration expert James Jupp, a visiting fellow at the AustralianNational University, points out that this reverses a previous”strong emphasis on people becoming citizens as soon as possible”. Ironically, the Government has been running advertisements sayingthere’s no better time to become a citizen. Although many other countries have longer eligibility periods,the new approach “is tending to say the threat from aliens isgreater than that from those born and brought up in Australia”, yetthe British bombers were home-grown. What worries Muslims is “theimplied statement that they are not to be trusted. They feel theyare being made a scapegoat for a very small minority, and will betargeted by the new legislation just because they are Muslims. In the past, Jupp says, Australia has been very tolerant towardspeople from all sorts of strange political systems. “We’ve had asloppy history in coping with certain types of terrorists — anambivalent attitude to political and religious extremists” whichallowed some war criminals and other nasties to slip in.
