A look at issues I deem worthy of my time, whether it be politics, religion or medical issues.

more Judeofascist organ harvesting fun and the Rifqa Bary "honor killing" hoax
I've been hearing about someone called Fathima Rifqa Bary. Who? Bary is a teenage runaway who was essentially kidnapped and brainwashed by a creepy Evangelical pastor she met on Facebook. As expected her "conversion" to the Evangelical cult has led to the usual chorus of horse manure over "apostasy" and "honor killing" being drummed up the usual shlomos. Death for apostasy in Islam is aimed at discouraging fake converts, only those who wish to enter the religion to subvert and destroy it as the hypocrites of Medina tried to do. Also theres no such thing as "honor killings" in Islam, this is a bogus term designed to present domestic violence in the East in an exotic and misleading way(theres a post in the works on the much touted "honor killings" which will not be pretty). In fact Islam prohibits such acts of violence, especially against against one's own children.
Now lets take a look at her antics:
Talk about over-acting, this coached performance makes Asra Nomani look almost sane. There's nothing I dislike more then a liar, and a really bad one at that, which is why I don't believe this charade for a second. Heck, it's practically a commandment for Judeofascist bastards to lie. Remeber the lie about "Gaza child brides"? And really, since when did scum like this give a damn about Muslims? Remember this is the same crowd which cheers every time IDF terrorists pump Palestinian school children with bullets. Only an idiot would believe that those who advocate Islamophobia and the murder of Muslims on a daily basis genuinely care about Rifqa Bary.
I really feel bad for the Bary family not only for losing their daughter but for being smeared as extremists and potential murderers. May Allah(swt) give them strength in their time of turmoil, and punish those who seek to harm them and other Muslim families.
I give Rifqa a couple of years before her Waco style brainwashing wears off. Just remember you'll still have to answer to Allah(swt) for the lies coming out of your mouth and the pain and suffering of your family, the same parents who moved to the US just to get you the proper medical treatment for your damaged eye.
Speaking of child endangerment, I think it's high time Pamela Gellar's(the racist khazar harlot of "atlas sucks" fame who's been promoting this hoax, and who BTW believes puppet Obama is Malcolm X's love child) children be taken away from her by the authorities. I can't think of a worst form of abuse living with a nuerotic Jewish lunatic and being indoctrinated and infected with the pathological mental disorder known as Zionism.

lol@Talk about over-acting, this coached performance makes Asra Nomani look almost sane.
I wonder why these loons even bother with all the hardwork involved in brainwashing and and then the trashy accusations? Oh but, of course, we need entertainment from time to time...

Waliakum Asalam Seemi,
Why do they even bother? Money, fame, and sympathy for starters. Wait till you read my upcoming post on the professional "apostates" industry.

Wow.... And the Academy Award goes to...for best actress in a "C" grade movie. Well, I can honestly say that only those in the U.S. that already hate Islam and live in blind stupidity will be the only one touched by this sad attempt at defaming Islam. Everyday I read and watch the U.S. news I am more and more ashamed at the depths American culture has sank. Well, back to the story, not being Muslim but having some of them as very close friends, I can say that even the things that she states that her father has said does not sound like anything a Muslim father would say, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me..." It sounds like a line from a really bad soap opera. I don't have anything other than that to contribute, well other than the shame of shared heritage with the perpetrators hatred and stupidity. I do have a question for you that I posted on my own blog. What is the problem with europe that they refuse to hold Israel accountable for their war crimes? If it were any other country there would be heavy sanctions and trials. It seems to me that Israel is the perpetrator of the same offenses as they accused the Nazis of so many years ago. All they're missing is the ovens.

:) you may say that again. It all looks phony as always.
Good to see some nice and logical comments from your side. I know many Americans who are quite normal...but all the same Islamophobes also thrive there.
@DrMaxtor: Anticipating your upcoming post :)

Sorry for late reply folks,
Thanks for the insightful comment. Europe's complacency towards Israel has to do with the banking system and the select group which calls the shots. Guess who that is?
- U.S.X.Patriot said...
I suppose it's a pyramid. The U.S. is responsible for half of Isreals economy, not including being responsible for Israels entire military machine. I suppose the reason europe sits on it's hands while Israel runs completely unaccountable is the fact that ultimately the U.S. is in control of Israel and everyone has and still does bow to the Imperial Capitalist Machine that is the U.S. I would have hoped that the latest global economic disaster brought about almost single-handedly by the U.S. would have set the rest of the world on a course correction as to where their priorities should really be focused. I fear we are on a one-way trip to the bottom of the barrel of human selfishness. I grieve everytime I read through the blogs of average americans. They see themselves as open-minded and all the while they are condemning anyone with a different lifestyle or belief system than they have. You see it as they try to dictate to the rest of the world what to eat and how to act. The hipocrisy is nauseating and highly disappointing. Bottom line.... If the U.S. wanted peace in the Middle East all they would have to do is impose sanctions against them and cut off their trust fund and weapons supply. That being said, the genocide of the Palestinians is just as much the fault of the Americans, which I am one of, as it is the Israeli's.

Every time I walk into Walmart, it smells like sweet n sour chicken. It drives me crazy. I never really liked it, but I miss it. Crazy. I think I miss ordering out Chinese food, and the extra fat.
So, I came home and whipped up my own version. I made the sweet and sour from scratch, and it's very easy. Also, using the Bell and Evans gluten free tenders, makes it even better, as far as ease goes!!
Also, just a shortcut I use in my kitchen in the winter months, I buy mostly frozen veggies. They have the same nutritional content, are generally cheaper than fresh, and as added benefit, already chopped up. I am all for fresh vegetables, but here in New England, the snow is covering the ground, the vegetables we are getting aren't going to be all that fresh, or all that local.
Here is the original sweet and sour sauce recipe, the only thing I changed was a technique...sifting the cornstarch first so you don't have any lumps.
I am also planning on making this for New Year's Eve. We used to always order out Chinese food, this year I will make my own and have a few dishes to choose from. Yum!
Sweet and Sour Chicken - Cheater Version
Bake the chicken, cook up some veggies (I did broccoli and peppers.), combine and mix with the sauce. Serve over cooked rice and sprinkle with green onions if desired.)
Sweet and Sour Sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
4 tablespoons ketchup
3/4 cup pineapple juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Warm everything in a saucepan except cornstarch to just below a simmer without letting it boil and stir in the sifted cornstarch to thicken. Sift the cornstarch to eliminate any lumps. You can add whatever else you might like to add, onions or peppers, some pineapple.

This looks delicious. Sweet and sour chicken used to be my fav. Did you know that P.F. Changs a gluten free menu? I'm sure you do, but just wanted to make sure bc I am a big fan of ordering out from there. I love their Philips Better Lemon Chicken. :)
- December 30, 2007 at 6:13 PM
That looks yummy. I may have to go back and revise my menus for the next couple of weeks to make sure we have this =)

I LOVE this Ms. GF!!! I have just been CRAVING asian foods lately. (NO, i'm not pregnant) I think my gluten-free body is just absolutely in love with all these foods, many of which are naturally gluten-free!! Thanks for sharing this! I will try it soon!!
- December 31, 2007 at 7:15 PM
I live in the Boston area and im looking for the Bell and Evans gluten free tenders. Could someone tell me where I can get them? Thank you.

This looks really good. I can't wait to try this- I have not made a good sweet and sour at home yet!
- January 8, 2008 at 2:06 PM
I made this tonight and it was wonderful. We'll definitely be having it again, and I'm still considering going back tonight for the leftovers.
I subbed tamari marinated tofu (breaded and pan-fried) for the chicken and that part of it was yummy as well.

Lea Ray - I miss ordering out like crazy too. I never ordered sweet and sour chicken, but I wanted it so badly!!
Katie - I LOVE PF Chang's but it is an hour and a half away. I make it there about 2 times a year so far..but need to go more!!
Mary Frances - I am so glad that you enjoyed this. How did you fry your tofu? Did you flour it and then bread it. I have been thinking about doing that for my Pad thai, but haven't attempted it yet.
Carrie - I have always craved asian foods, the authentic as well as not, whether or not I have been pregnant or gluten free! It's all so good!
Silly Ack - I have found the bell and evans chicken at Market Basket, are they in Boston or only north of? You could also ask your store to order some for you.
- January 14, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Very good!!! I added some red pepper flakes to the sauce to give it some extra kick! Thanks for the recipe!

I tried this and it tastes pretty good but the sauce just would not thicken up. I tried adding a lot more cornstarch (i.e. over doubled the amount) but it never got past the liquidy state. I may have warmed the other ingredients longer than I was supposed to, if that may have any effect. Any thoughts? Thanks for all the recipes all the same!

Anon ~ I have no idea why it would not have thickened with your cornstarch..can cornstarch go bad & lose it's effectiveness??? I wish I had something else for you, good luck!
Shannon ~ I am so glad that I helped you in some small way. Your comment made my day. :)

Here's a corn starch tip my dad passed on to me - put the corn starch you want to add in a little dish, add a tablespoon or two of cold water (or broth if you are making a soup), dissolve the cornstarch, add this solution to your sauce, give it a couple stirs - then simmer. Don't cook for too long afterwards or the sauce will thin out again (it will also thin out if you stir too vigorously)

My ex and I (after 36 yrs)now get along and are raising our grandson together. However she is now restricted to a gluten free diet with additional allergies (no wheat, barley, oats, rye, eggs, dairy, asparagus or avocados). I just got your Sweet & Sour Sauce (how simple). I love to cook so this is a whole new ball game for me. Now a need a recipe for GOOD tasting bread that cannot be used as a hockey puck. Thanks, I am really enjoying your website/blog. Gunny

I tried this because I've missed Chinese food since becoming diagnosed with peanut and tree nut allergies...oh, and eggs. *sigh* And I've gone off gluten by choice (actually, I think I'm more wheat free than gluten free at the moment).
This wasn't bad. It's not what I'm used to, but it was nice that I already had all the ingredients in my pantry.
Also, sifting the corn starch didn't do any good. I still ended up with clumps and had to dig them out and sift in more corn starch. That was probably my fault, though. I'm no good at avoiding clumps in sauces and gravies. lol
Thanks, though. It was nice to get a little taste of what I've been missing.

BEARTOOTH LAKE — The last ice ages don't seem so distant on this February morning.
Snow is driven sideways in a steady, stinging wind. Visibility is limited by an engulfing white cloud. And the icy cold easily stabs through several layers of clothing.
Welcome to Patrick Cross' office in northwestern Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest, just north of Yellowstone National Park.
It is a place where this winter blizzard seems appropriate, given that Cross is studying whether red foxes in the Beartooths are related to migrant foxes from Asia during one of the last two glacial epochs hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Dating back to the 1800s, observers had seen the foxes inhabiting the high Beartooth Mountains. The foxes were noticeably different with their lighter coats, nearly white faces and gray undercoats. Fur trappers observed they had furrier or larger feet, better for travel atop the snow. The differences earned them the nickname of glacier fox.
It's a study that has brought Cross, a 29-year-old former Billings resident, back to the mountain range he explored in his youth. His work for the Bozeman-based Yellowstone Ecological Research Center will also form the basis for his University of Montana master's thesis in systems ecology.
"This summer I'll get the genetic data back, along with the collar and snow tracking data," he said. "I'll be spending next summer and fall wrapping up the analysis and then completing and defending my thesis at the end of next fall."
There are 10 recognized red fox (Vulpes vulpes) subspecies in North America. Researchers believe that a large western population of genetically isolated red foxes were the forefathers of four now distinct subspecies: the Sierra Nevada red fox, V.v. necator; the Sacramento Valley fox, V.v. patwin; the Cascade Range fox, V.v. cascadensis; and the Rocky Mountain fox, V.v. macroura.
"Red foxes first arrived in North America two ice ages ago, during the Illinoian glaciation, by crossing the Bering Strait," Cross explained as he took shelter in a small grove of lodgepole pine trees just downhill from the snow-covered and closed Beartooth Highway, the site of a new fox trap he was building. "They were pushed south at the front of advancing glaciers.
"As the glaciers receded, the foxes pushed north or went up in elevation, tracking that boreal ecosystem they had grown up in," he added. "Those populations became isolated in the Sierras, Cascades and Beartooths."
The Illinoian glaciation is a period roughly defined as 310,000 to 128,000 years ago. That frosty time in North America was followed by the Wisconsin glaciation, the most recent ice age that extended from 35,000 to 11,500 years ago. As the ice sheets advanced and retreated across North America during late Wisconsin time, it's believed that another pulse of red foxes trekked into North America. Foxes of this second wave are more closely related to those living in Eurasia, Alaska and northern Canada.
"So the question is: which one is the Beartooth fox?" Cross said. "It could be an offshoot of the older (group) adapted to living at these elevations. The problem with that theory is that 10,000 years ago, the Beartooths were still covered with ice."
Looking for answers, Cross has spent the last two winters trapping, collaring and collecting tissue samples from red foxes in the Beartooth Mountains along Highway 212, roughly between the closed highway's parking area and Island Lake. He also is picking up scat, fur and tracking the cat-sized canids that top out at about 12 pounds.
He and his assistants have managed to capture and collar nine red foxes in the study area that ranges in elevation from about 7,000 to 10,000 feet. At this time of year, it is an inhospitable environment. The temperature regularly dips below zero, snow is piled 10 feet deep and only specially adapted animals can scrape out a meager existence.
It's well documented that red foxes are a highly adaptable animal, covering more areas on Earth than any other terrestrial carnivore, including parts of North America, Europe, Asia and northern Africa. They are omnivorous, eating everything from seeds to small mammals and scavenging the kills of larger predators — a form of feeding called kleptoparasitism.
So far, Cross has documented some unusual happenings. One yearling fox was killed — probably by wolves — while scavenging on a bull elk carcass.
He also witnessed one male red fox spend most of a day catching voles in a field and then burying each one it caught along the highway near the Top of the World Store. At the end of his hunt, he walked back along the highway and picked up the 12 voles, likely to provision a high-elevation den.
One collared fox was recorded traveling 50 square miles last March, an unusual feat since most foxes in nearby Yellowstone National Park have home ranges of about 2.5 to 5 square miles.
Foxes are famous in folklore for being smart and secretive, doing most of their hunting at night. Yet little is known about the rugged foxes that seem to have adapted for living at high elevations, a topic of only a handful of scientific studies.
One of those studies, in 1998, found that red foxes in Yellowstone National Park kept to forested areas, avoiding sagebrush meadows frequented by coyotes and wolves. One theory about the Beartooth foxes is that they were pushed to the high mountains by competition with larger canids like coyotes and wolves, which will kill the foxes.
"Generally, these canines are living above that inter-canine competition area," Cross said, although they will drop down to lower elevations to scavenge wolf kills of elk and mule deer.
The foxes are also doing a bit of their own killing, mainly of voles living under the snow, but also finding snowshoe hares, grouse and — a surprise to Cross — raiding squirrels' whitebark pine nut middens to dine on the protein-rich food.
"Even though it was not expected, it wasn't particularly surprising given the high nutritional value of whitebark pine nuts," he said. The nuts are also a favorite food of grizzly bears in the fall.
Fox fecal samples screened by Cross have so far shown the Beartooth animals dining on 16 different foods, including grouse whortleberry and shrews.
"This is really cool stuff," he said. "It's exciting because it illuminates part of the natural history of what this animal is doing. It's also illustrating that whitebark pine nuts might be even more important than we already guessed."
Trapping the Beartooth foxes in winter is important because it allows Cross the opportunity to use the foxes' food stress to his advantage. He uses small, square live traps made out of logs, and the foxes are trapped inside when they pull on the bait that is hooked to a trip wire. Remote camera photos have shown skittish foxes running in and out of the boxes at first, wary of being trapped.
"We can load this thing up with elk quarters," Cross said as he demonstrated how the traps work. "We can overload the fox's sense of security because there's more meat in the trap than it will get all winter."
The traps are typically placed near the edges of a fox's range, rather than in the middle of its habitat. The traps are checked every morning at about 9, the first activity of the day. Trapping will continue into mid to late May, depending on the snow conditions.
Cross also spends time on skis following fox tracks in the snow, a noninvasive means of learning about the foxes' travel routes, habitat use, where they scent mark, the snow conditions as well as providing insight into what they are eating and killing.
"That's something the GPS collars don't tell us," Cross said.
Cross will receive DNA information from the tissue samples he has taken later this year. Previous samples have already shown that the Beartooth red foxes are not as closely related to foxes in nearby Yellowstone National Park as the Yellowstone foxes are related to red foxes in eastern North Dakota, hundreds of miles away.
He noted that some people have questioned his motives for studying the animals, concerned that if the foxes are found to be the descendants of Illinoian ice age foxes, that environmentalists may use the information to declare the animals a threatened species worthy of protection and leading to government regulations like those protecting grizzly bears.
Cross said that's not his intention. He simply wants to learn more about the Beartooth Mountain red foxes.
"Last year I caught a fox at Clay Butte, and five days later I saw a fox looking through the window at me in Cooke City with its GPS collar on," Cross said, making him wonder who is tracking whom. "I think the fox has more advanced technology."

Archaeology course takes students to Dead Sea site
Four Liberty University students started working as "archaeologists in training" in Israel on Dec. 5 under the supervision of Dr. Randall Price, Director of Excavations and Executive Director of LU's new Center for Judaic Studies.
Students Nathan LeMaster, David Sherret, Katelyn Thurston and Emilee Price traveled with Price and his wife, Beverlee, to learn about and perform land excavations at the 2,000-year-old remains of the historic Qumran Plateau, a site situated beside the Dead Sea, as part of an LU Field Archaeology course that continues through Dec. 23.
Liberty's group is part of a larger team that is now in its sixth season (2002-08) uncovering the ruins of the Qumran Community, believed to have once been inhabited by a Jewish sect that held a strict interpretation of the Scriptures and looked for the coming of the Messiah and the end of the age.
Most scholars believe this community produced and preserved the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, many of which were hidden in caves carved in the plateau where the students are digging. These scrolls contain the oldest known copies of the Old Testament and record many historical events and beliefs of Judaism as it existed during the time of Jesus and the formation of the early church.
The excavations this first week have uncovered a large number of ancient potteries from the Roman period (the time of Jesus) as well as several places where the ancient community worked and cooked their meals.
On Saturday, students will go to Bethlehem to tour the place of Jesus' birth and the city of Jerusalem where the Lord died, rose and has promised to return.
They will also have an exclusive tour of the latest excavations at the Herodium, where the tomb of King Herod was recently discovered by one of the archaeologists with whom the LU team is working, and will visit a private antiquities collector in Jerusalem who will show them his exceptional exhibition of artifacts from 5,000 years of biblical history.
Next week the students' work will focus on getting to the lower levels of habitation during the Hasmonean era (about 100 years before the birth of Christ) in order to explore the beginnings of the Qumran Community. Here it is expected that much more pottery and some coins will be found, as well as animal bone deposits stored within jars — a unique ritual that occurred only at this site and which has yet to be fully explained.

It won't be an easy task for Sandy Alderson to turn around the Mets. Naming a manager is on everybody's mind now, but that's just one of the issues on a lengthy things-to-do list.
No doubt all these things were discussed during the interview process:
1) ORGANIZING HIS STAFF: John Ricco is already on board as assistant general manager, but Alderson has thoughts of his own for the remainder of his staff. Alderson's reputation is having his hands in everything, and that means surrounding himself with people he trusts.
From scouting to minor league operations to the medical staff, Alderson has his own ideas and won't blindly inherit Omar Minaya's staff and the remainder of the Mets' organization. You might see in the upcoming weeks, perhaps even ahead of naming the manager, announcements on Alderson's staff.
There's little doubt Alderson hasn't already begun the evaluation process, and there should be a minimum of time before naming any new pieces.
Is it possible for some of the Mets' organization to stay in place? Absolutely. He's been around; he knows who's good or not from the existing staff. Part of the process will depend on his conclusions as to how much Minaya was responsible to the existing mess.
2) NAMING A MANAGER: I appreciate the sentiment naming Wally Backman might cause the perception the Wilpons are still calling all the shots, but the former Mets' second baseman is reportedly on his list.
Alderson already has his short list, which he's keeping close to the vest. Jerry Manuel was too passive in many areas, and the choice should be someone with a firmer hand. That, however, doesn't necessarily mean a dictator.
A candidate without a Mets' background will also be one of the things he'll consider. Alderson, by himself, represents change, so I don't think they'll name a manager just to sell tickets. That is part of the rationale in Backman.
Whomever is chosen, he should be a teacher with an ability to work with young talent as the Mets have a core in Ike Davis, Josh Thole, Mike Pelfrey, Ruben Tejada and Jon Niese. The right balance between motivation and patience must be made.
3) DECIDING ON WHERE ARE THE METS TODAY: Are the Mets a .500 team that needs a minimum of rebuilding to be competitive next year or are they a team that needs an overhaul?
Alderson must decide on what being competitive means in 2011. Is .500 good enough or should they wait until 2012 when he has more salary to work with?
The decision on where the Mets will largely be dependent in part on Alderson's budget. With $130 million earmarked for 2011, just how much flexibility will he be given?
They have the pieces in place to improve if Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran are healthy and productive, but those are just two of several things that must break right. The Mets learned since the end of the 2006 season that hoping isn't a sound strategy.
There are holes in the rotation, and bolstering the bullpen and bench is a must. They are closer to last place than first place.
The answer to this issue will determine just how much work needs to be done.
4) ASCERTAINING JOSE REYES: He'll probably stay, but if Alderson decides the team is far away he'll have to consider whether Reyes is more valuable on the field or with what he might bring in a trade.
You just don't deal a player like Reyes without considerable thought, and Alderson has to look at the injury history the past two years and whether there's still a ceiling for him.
If Alderson believes dealing Reyes could fill two or three holes, then that has to be on the table. The flip side is having somebody to replace him, and right now they don't.
Reyes can be, and has been, a dynamic talent for the Mets, but it also must be remembered the Mets haven't won with him. Ditto David Wright.
5) DECIDING ON A PITCHING COACH: Mike Pelfrey and RA Dickey endorsed Dan Warthen, but that's not enough. The manager should have the right to name his pitching coach and the rest of his staff.
Assuming Alderson is already reaching out to potential managers, it is a safe assumption the new pitching coach is already on the radar.
The Mets pitching staff statistically improved last summer under Warthen, but how much of that was not having Oliver Perez and John Maine? I would say plenty.
6) WHAT TO DO WITH THE DEADWOOD: I think the sooner they are rid of Perez and Luis Castillo, the better. However, just ditching them as suggested the other day might not be a prudent move.
Alderson needs to change the culture and not having Perez would do that. However, Perez rarely pitched last summer and was coming off an injury. The rational thing to do would be to add to the pitching staff thinking Perez won't be there, but allow him to work on his mechanics and strength in the winter leagues.
There are no games being played now, and either way Perez will get $12 million in 2011 from the Mets. If they have one more opportunity to see if Perez can turn it around they should take it.
Castillo, at least, wanted to play. The Mets don't like eating salary, but $6 million is more palatable than $12 million.
7) BUILDING THE ROTATON: The assumption must be made Johan Santana will be out for much of the season if not all.
Nobody thinks they'll sign Cliff Lee, but there's no harm in contacting his agent.
The current rotation consists of Pelfrey, Dickey and Jon Niese. Is Dillon Gee a real option? We don't know, but he'll get a shot. The prudent thing to do with Jenrry Mejia, since they misused him last year, would have him start in the minor leagues.
The Mets need to add two starters, which is why giving Perez a chance in winter ball is a prudent thing. Then they can attempt to add some middle-tier arms in the offseason so the team would at least be competitive.
8) DECIDE ON CARLOS BELTRAN: It's highly doubtful Alderson will find a taker for the injured and highly-priced – $18.5 million for 2011 – Beltran.
Any deal they might make would necessitate them picking up a considerable piece of the remaining salary, and with that being the case they are better off hoping he has something left in his walk year.
However, it is clear Beltran, as he is now, can't play center field on a regular basis. Alderson, with the new manager, must meet with Beltran to discuss a move to right field.
This can't be a thing to be debated during spring training. The decision must be made before.
9) THE BULLPEN: The Mets' reaching a settlement with Francisco Rodriguez only tentatively answers the closer question. Assuming things work out for Rodriguez in court then the Mets can address the rest of their bullpen.
The Mets need to make a decision on Hisanori Takahashi by Oct. 31, and it is believed they will offer him two years. An ironclad promise to start can't be made because they won't have a manager by then, but bringing him back is important.
Bringing back Pedro Feliciano is also necessary, as is finding a role for Bobby Parnell.
The bullpen has been mix-and-match the past few seasons and this winter will be more of the same.
10) EVALUATING THE MINORS: By most accounts, the Mets are stronger in the lower levels of the minors than they are in the higher classes.
A lot was made after the season about developing a "Mets Way,'' in the farm system where a certain philosophy and style of play is adapted and taught at all levels.
I would like to see that with the Mets, where it is ingrained in the young players that they play an aggressive, fundamental style of ball. The transition from level to level must be as seamless as possible.
The Mets are starting over with Alderson, and that includes on all levels.

May 16, 1968 - August 27, 2012
A wake for Soledad will be held on Thursday, August 30, 2012 at the Erickson & Brown Funeral Home in Taft from 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.. The memorial service will be on Friday, August 31, 2012 at her church, Iglesia Universal, 1000 36th St., Bakersfield from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Burial will be at Greenlawn Southwest Cemetery in Bakersfield at 3:00 p.m. Soledad was born on May 16, 1968 in La Haucana, Michoacan to parents, Emperatriz Alvarez and Enedino Murillo. She passed into eternal life surrounded by her family on Monday, August 27, 2012 in Bakersfield. Soledad, or "Chole," worked and gave tirelessly to her family. She settled in Bakersfield with her husband and two oldest children in 1985. After taking some time to adjust, she began working in agricultural labor where she met many of her wonderful friends. Her friends remember her for her honesty, laughter and beautiful smile. After nearly a decade of hard labor she took time off to dedicate herself to the care of her very special youngest child. During times of hardship she turned to her close friends and family, all the while giving back with sensitivity and warmth to those around her. She also found great support and unmatched peace in her relationship with God. Even through very difficult challenges, her admirable strength endured. She is survived by her husband, Jose Luis; sons, Jose and Carlos; daughters, Silvia and Lizbeth, her mother and father; and siblings, Consuelo, Francisco, Celia and Clara.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Lipscomb men's tennis team will hit the courts for the second time this season when they travel to Georgia this weekend to compete in the "Southern Intercollegiate Championships" at the University of Georgia.
The Bisons are coming off a strong performance last weekend in the "Tennessee Invitational." Assistant coach Mike Sherman said he hopes the men can continue to elevate their play as they prepare to face some of their toughest opponents.
"From a competition perspective, this will be one of our toughest tournaments of the fall season, with many major NCAA Division I schools in attendance," Sherman said. "With that said, the coaching staff looks forward to seeing how the men's team will respond to the environment. This is the level of competition we are building this program toward, and it is important for the men to process and learn from all matches played this weekend. "
In addition to competing at a high level, Sherman said he hopes players will step up as well as focus on doubles play.
"From a team standpoint, we are still continuing to look for leadership improvement from all the men, especially the veteran players," Sherman said. "Doubles emphasis will also be stressed from the coaches, as the players still need more strategy, practice, and match play on that side. From an individual standpoint, each player knows their goals, and we hope that each guy works to improve their specific physical or mental goal throughout the tournament."
In the first round, the men will face players from Minnesota, Auburn, and Florida, as well as see competition from Mississippi State, Georgia Southern, Mercer and Citadel.
Play begins on Friday and lasts through Monday, Sept. 23.

Oh, I was under the impression that this thread was about AA50, and that it was all water under the bridge at this point. Good to know
In that case, I'll try to collect my thoughts and post a more considered response.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
2012 and 2013 Ford Mustang Stage 3 Roushes - My Muscle Stang
Jeremy and Shannon Polston - Hinesville, GA
My wife, Shannon, and I bought our first Mustang back in 1993 and have owned eight more since. There were a few gaps over the years as we shuffled our kids around in SUVs and minivans. In 2010, we bought a new Mustang GT, but quickly realized a game of "who-gets-to-drive-the-Stang-to-work" was not feasible. Then Ford brought back the beloved 5.0L and a '11 GT/CS was added to our stable, followed by an '04 Cobra convertible.
We spent the next year driving our California Special and Terminator until we spotted a '12 Roush Stage 3 at our local dealership. We didn't know it at the time, but there were only 33 black-with-black-and-red-stripes Stage 3 coupes made in 2012. I wasn't quite ready to give up my Snake, so Shannon traded her ride for the Roush. She soon decided to have JDM Engineering tune the Roushcharged Coyote. That really woke it up—500 rwhp on the dyno.
Shortly after, I decided to trade in my Terminator for an '11 red GT. I spent some time and money with simple mods and bolt-ons, but without a TVS supercharger, Shannon was still running away from me on the streets. We added a lot of chrome and custom paintwork in the engine bays of both cars.
One day my GT and I were caught in a hailstorm—mini dents were all over the hood and roof. With the '11 GT damaged, I came across the new Gotta Have It Green color Ford was offering for '13 models. Sure enough, I could order a Stage 3 Roush in that color.
Shannon was not totally on board with me trading at first, but after an onslaught of texts over the next couple of months—"I gotta-have-it-green"—she caved in. So the order was placed. I loaded a Roush Stage 3 with all the trimmings, including the track pack, navigation, and every option available, excluding the glass roof and black stripes.
Delivery day came about a month later and I was ready to see it roll off the trailer. There it was—bright green with red stripes! Somehow the order got messed up and the car shipped with red stripes. The dealership's general manager ordered the correct stripes from Roush, but I still took delivery of my new Roushcharged Pony as it would only take a few days for the black stripes to arrive. As strange as it sounds, the red stripes grew on me over those few days, and I received compliments everywhere I went. I decided to keep them.
While in general conversation we often say "his" and "her" Roush Mustangs, it seemed awkward referring to them as the black or green one, so we gave them more affectionate names—Black Betty and Reptile.

text: A whistle-stop visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong Il to a church in China is not a sign that the secretive communist regime's stance toward religion is softening, South Korean Catholics say. Kim visited a Catholic church in Jilin, in northeastern China, during his Aug. 26-30 trip to the country. The church visit immediately sparked speculation that North Korea might relax its rigid stance toward Catholicism and other religions. But Father Baptist John Kim Hun-il of the Korean bishops' conference was quick to dismiss such speculation. It goes too far to say his visit has a hidden message, he said. "It seems the visit was just part of his trip. North Korea has not given any sign of improving its relationship not only with the Catholic Church but with other religions in South Korea."

So, you've bought a winch for your ATV and you are ready to get out on the trails and test your newest tool. To get the most use out of your winch, you need to take the time to understand its operation. First, read your winch's owner's manual.
The general operating principles and techniques are the same for most winches. To start, you should read the owner's/operator's manual supplied with your winch and review all of its safety and use warnings. Next, you should familiarize yourself with your winch and each of its components, referring to the owner's manual as needed. Then, practice using your winch before using it on the trail. Most importantly, take your time when using your winch and always follow the manufacturer's safety recommendations.
In a typical winch, the electric motor provides power to the reduction gear mechanism, which turns the winch drum and winds the wire rope. A winch is equipped with a brake and a clutch. The brake automatically engages the winch drum when the winch motor is stopped and there is load on the wire rope. The clutch allows the winch drum to be disengaged from the drive train, enabling the drum to rotate freely. A winch has a set of electrical controls and a remote control, which allows you to stand well clear of the wire rope while operating the winch.
Be sure that your winch's mounting system and your ATV's frame can accommodate the rated load of your winch. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you consult your Honda dealer to select and install your winch.
Winches are useful for a number of applications. In addition to pulling your ATV out of the mud, back on the trail or over slippery rocks, winches can be used to remove fallen logs or trees that block the trail. There are many utility uses as well, including pulling firewood, running fence line, and positioning equipment. Your winch owner's manual will have step-by-step instructions for tackling these jobs.
The most important part of the winching process is what you do before you pull. Always take your time to plan your pull and operate the winch. Be sure to use the right equipment and winch accessories for your situation. Always wear leather gloves and do not allow the wire rope to slide through your hands. You, and only you, should handle the wire rope and operate the remote control switch. In some situations, another person may be needed to lend assistance. Check your owner's manual for suggested hand signals that will allow you to communicate precisely and easily with your partner. Remember, think safety at all times and practice, practice, practice.
Properly maintaining your winch will provide years of trouble-free service. Keep the winch, wire rope, control box and remote control free from contaminants. Use a clean rag or towel to remove any dirt and debris before storing your ATV. A light-duty oil used on the wire rope and winch hook can keep rust and corrosion from forming. A winch is powered by your ATV's battery, so be sure your battery is properly charged and don't forget to maintain your battery and battery cables as well.
These general guidelines do not cover all the procedures necessary to operate a winch. So, be sure to review the recommended operating and maintenance procedures in your winch owner's manual. Used properly, a good winch will last a long time and help provide even more off-road riding enjoyment on your ATV.
Editor's Note: Every winching situation has the potential for personal injury. In order to minimize that risk, it is important that you read and understand the owner's manual for your winch before you use it. Apply good judgment and be alert to maintain a safe working environment.

We have several times expressed our admiration for Minnesota's new Governor, Tim Pawlenty. Like most states, Minnesota is facing a substantial budget shortfall. Pawlenty was the only one of four candidates for Governor who pledged to solve the state's budget problems without raising taxes. Since taking office he has held firm to that pledge, and survey data indicate he has the support of a clear majority of Minnesotans. Today's Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that its Minnesota Poll has Pawlenty with a 60% approval rating. And given what the Trunk has exposed about the Minnesota Poll's methods, we can be sure that figure is a minimum. One could hope that Tim's example is inspiring other governors to hold the line on taxes, but I don't have the sense that that is happening in many states.

Point Park acting and musical theatre students perform a scene from Honk! Jr.
Playhouse Jr., Point Park University's family and children's theatre company, invites school and community groups and the general public to three engaging productions during its 65th season.
The second oldest children's theatre company in the country, Playhouse Jr. features Conservatory of Performing Arts acting, musical theatre, stage management and technical theatre/design students both on and off stage at the Pittsburgh Playhouse.
The 2013-2014 season is as follows:
Adaptation, music and lyrics by Douglas Post (based on the book by Kenneth Grahame)
A beloved children's tale, The Wind and the Willows tells the story of four animal friends exploring the English countryside. The friends, with Mr. Toad at the helm, set off on an adventure that teaches them great lessons about morality and friendship.
By James Still
What can Maggie Parks see that the rest of the world cannot? When a national news reporter thinks she's found a great story about the young girl with mystical visions from Hush, Kan., the attention has uncomfortable consequences. Using rich symbolism and surreal imagery, Hush is an allegory about growing up, individuality and the perils of celebrity.
Music and lyrics by William Finn (book by Rachel Sheinkin)
The squeaky clean tradition of the county spelling bee gets a fresh treatment when the gawky contestants — including four selected audience members — compete for local glory, their parents' affection and, of course, cash. Along the way, they learn the value of doing the best they can and enjoying what they do. Oh, and how to spell C-A-P-Y-B-A-R-A.
Playhouse Jr. field trip tickets go on sale at 10 a.m., Monday, Aug. 19, and cost $6. Subscriptions and single tickets will go on sale Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. Subscription packages are $15, single tickets $7 each. Those who purchase three subscriptions get the fourth free.

BlackBerry maker RIM didn't name their new iPad competitor the BlackPad as rumored, they named it the PlayBook while at the same time saying it was geared towards enterprise. PlayBook may be a football reference but football isn't enterprise and the first thing anyone will read is "play" not "work". Why not call it WorkBook then? Why not give it a UI more suited for business than the flashy eye-candy we saw in the demo video, which has "give us your consumer dollars" painted clearly all over it? Why not give it a powerful, native, C-based SDK to write for rather than HTML 5 and Adobe Air?
RIM no doubt wants the high-profit consumer market Apple has grabbed with iPad but knows their traditional base and best hopes for early adoption are with their existing enterprise customers. That's a powerful if decidedly mixed bag of hurt when it comes to marketing.
Will they be able to leverage it into a one-two punch against Apple on both sides, or will it just confuse people, turning off business by being too slick and turning off consumers by being too serious?
We know it will be facing off against iPad 2, and maybe iOS 5 come 2011, so regardless of the "play" name, the BlackBerry tablet has its work cut out for it.

Pursuit Church
My name is Dan, have grown up in non-denomination churches all my life and have been in full time ministry for 20 years, mostly in student ministry. We (small group of people) are launching a new church in a suburb of Chicago, where we have live for 16 years. Our church will be non-traditional and relevant to an un-churched person but biblical sharing the truth of the Gospel. We will create a come as you are church environment that you don't need to worry about looking the part of a church goer. Our mission is to help people pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We want that to be expressed in our logo!
Unchurched people, young, old, families and singles. All are welcome! They are hip and media savvy. The Churches around us are very traditional and many either don't attend or are frustrated with them. We need to show them we are different in every way.
Navy, Gray, a little red, a little white
I like the those color combos but will also like the logo color to be interchangeable giving us maximum options.
Clean, sharp, modern look
Pursuit Church (name needs to be in the logo) ...I love the idea of the top of an arrow top pointing in the direction up. That could be a very simple look too, don't want a detailed arrow head/top. It could also be in the direction of north/west, don't want it going straight north, then it would look like a roof top-don't want that.
Love the idea of placing all of this in a circle...or be creative and place the entire piece in some cool shape.

So what's a glitter whore to do? Layer a glitter over it of course! So I picked up Darling Diva Vegas Showgirl because I wasn't too taken with it in the bottle, so if it turned out bad I could just take it all off without regret. And BOOM. Suddenly I was in love with my mani.
The green and purple in both polishes just work off each other so well! "When in doubt just add glitter"? Yes. Yes indeed.

Last week another marketplace deadline came and went, Illinois became the 21st state approved to operate a health insurance marketplace, and U.S. senators pressed the HHS official responsible for the bulk of exchange implementation for information.
On Friday (2/15), the Obama administration said the state-based high-risk pools from the ACA will close to new applicants in the next few days or weeks as funding is beginning to run low. The 100,000 or so people who are already enrolled in these pools will not, however, be affected.
On Friday (2/15), CMS issued its annual projection of Medicare Advantage and Part D premiums and rates for calendar year 2014. CMS said that for the first time since the Part D program began, the standard Part D deductible will go down from $325 in 2013 to $310 in 2014, and cost- sharing amounts will also be lower. Comments are due on March 1.
CMS also issued a proposed rule that would implement medical loss ratio requirements for the Medicare Advantage Program and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program under the ACA.
On Friday (2/8), the Obama administration released details on some of the nonmilitary cuts that will take effect due to sequestration from the Budget Control Act of 2011. Among other things, the cuts would result in the loss of 12,000 research positions funded by National Institutes of Health grants and the end of treatment for 373,000 individuals with mental illness.
Technically, the deadline to apply for a state-federal partnership exchange/marketplace was Friday 2/15. HHS has shown, however, that it is willing to be flexible on deadlines in return for state participation in implementing health reform.
Long-awaited decisions on three state exchanges came on Friday (2/15). Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Rick Scott of Florida, and Bill Haslam of Tennessee said they would not embrace partnership models for their exchanges. Because the states also are not choosing to run their own exchanges, they will default to federally run exchanges.
On Wednesday (2/13), New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan officially applied for a partnership exchange in a letter to HHS Sec. Sebelius.
On Wednesday (2/13), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced he will not propose expanding Medicaid in his state, and instead proposed tightening income eligibility for Medicaid, lifting a cap on a program that covers childless adults, and forcing more people to buy insurance through a government-run marketplace in order to cover the state's low-income uninsured population. The plan outlined by Walker would cover non-disabled adults up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level, down from its current 200 percent federal poverty level limit for state assistance, and allow those above 100 percent to purchase coverage through the exchanges.
On Wednesday (2/13), Illinois became the 21st state (including the District of Columbia) to be approved to operate a health insurance exchange, with enrollment to begin in October 2013. Illinois' exchange will be a partnership marketplace.
On Wednesday (2/13), the Georgia House passed House Bill 198 that would require health insurance navigators to be licensed in order to help uninsured Georgians and businesses use the health insurance exchange.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said on Tuesday (2/12) that the Medicaid program in his state is too troubled to expand, and he does not want to play a part in implementation of an insurance exchange in his state. On Wednesday (2/13), the state House gave tentative approval to legislation blocking the expansion of Medicaid and the development of a health insurance exchange.
On Thursday (2/14), Gary Cohen, the director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, testified before the Senate Finance Committee. Cohen said HHS is making great progress and will be ready for people across the country to obtain high-quality affordable health care coverage beginning on October 1. Sen. Orin Hatch (R-Utah) argued that the health insurance exchanges required by the ACA are going to increase health care costs. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) pushed Cohen for information about why funding for co-ops under the ACA was eliminated in the tax compromise. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) questioned Cohen on the delay to implementation of the Basic Health Program, which would have enabled states to offer government insurance to people who did not qualify for Medicaid but who would still have had a difficult time affording premiums and cost sharing in the exchange. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) expressed disappointment that the administration had not extended the law's definition of "affordable" coverage to family plans.
In an effort to shelter health care programs, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) funding, and several other items from the sequester, set to kick in on March 1, Senate Democrats crafted a proposal, the American Family Economic Protection Act, which includes a combination of revenue increases and equally split cuts to defense and non-defense discretionary spending. Republicans criticized the proposal, especially for the increases in taxes it requires.
On Friday (2/15), Reps. Charles Boustany (R-La.) and Jim Matheson (D-Utah) reintroduced a bill to repeal the health insurance tax in the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) valued the tax at $100 billion over 10 years. Boustany also sponsored the bill in the last Congress and gathered 226 cosponsors. The bill, however, never came up for a vote.
About 50 leading conservative voices signed on to a memo calling for Congress to defund the Affordable Care Act in the next continuing resolution.

The ties binding the rhythm section run deep. Green met McBride when the bassist was a 17 year old phenomenon in Philadelphia, and they've been musical confidantes ever since. McBride anchored Green's first trio and has collaborated on many of his recordings over the years.
recalls. "I never felt that kind of lift before."
The pianist first encountered Nash in 1983 when auditioning for a coveted spot with Betty Carter, the late, legendary vocalist and talent scout. He had just turned 20, and "had never played with such a hip drummer," he Guess Tote Bags Ebay
"There's a reason why Lewis is the most recorded drummer over the past 25 years," says McBride, 40. "He's such a beautiful, musical player and person, he elevates everyone who plays with him. . And I've learned as much from Benny Green Balenciaga Bag Size Guide as any legend. He is easily one of my oldest and dearest friends."
The band's triumphant debut at Monterey's 55th season last summer provided several of the most exhilarating moments in a festival rife with memorable sets. Featuring the uncontrollable Dee Dee Bridgewater on vocals, pianist Benny Green, drummer Lewis Nash, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Christian McBride, and Oakland raised trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, the band played an intriguing array of originals and jazz standards in a variety of configurations, including a thrilling high wire duet between McBride and Bridgewater on "Your Mother's Son In Law."
to the Bay Area for a date at Yoshi's on Feb. 24 to mark the release of a new album on ECM featuring a series of spacious soundscapes inspired by Homer's "The Odyssey."
the music I do now isn't in the same vein, but that kind of straight ahead groove is my roots, and this is the group to do it with. Don't get me wrong. We can and do go in any direction, but one of the interesting things about a band like this is you might see people go in direction they might not explore on their own."
Assembling one ensemble to cover the Monterey Jazz Festival's stylistic reach is an almost as impossible a task as bottling the giddy excitement reliably generated on the fairgrounds every September. But the Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour: 55th Anniversary Celebration, an all star sextet designed to represent the Monterey experience, comes pretty darn close.
In many ways the Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour band represents the event's legacy, as just about every player is connected to Monterey by long standing ties. Green made his festival debut at 15 in 1978 with the Monterey High School All Star Big Band, and served as the music director of The Monterey Jazz Festival 50th Anniversary All Stars, the festival's first touring project. He's the only carry over from that multigenerational ensemble.
"The thing about Benny Green that's fantastic is his sensitivity working with vocalists, how he lays down these interesting harmonic cushions under you," Bridgewater says. "He's got so much soul. And I love watching the musical conversation between Christian and Lewis. They leave space for each other while doing all this crazy stuff. Then Christian will look at me and say don't worry baby, we got your back. For me, it's the cat's meow."
McBride and Nash share a similarly long and distinguished track record. They're the most recorded bass/drum tandem of the past two decades, with more than 60 joint albums to their credit. One of their early sessions together was on a 1994 album with a frighteningly talented young saxophonist, "Presenting Chris Potter." A ubiquitous presence on the contemporary scene, Nash has performed on more than 400 recordings with an encyclopedic cross section of senior legends, midcareer masters and emerging stars.
The group's instant chemistry stems from the superlative rhythm section of Nash, Green, and band music director McBride. "The fact is it's one of the most swinging rhythm sections I can imagine," says Potter, 42, who returns Balenciaga Graffiti Small
(/ Monterey County Herald)The band kicks off a 40 city tour across North America with two intimate shows at Kuumbwa on Jan. 10. The band returns to the Bay Area the following week for a Cal Performances concert on Jan. 19 at Zellerbach Hall (which far better reflects the size of venues on the band's itinerary).
They both got the gig with Carter, and Nash took the younger pianist under his wing. "He became my first big brother figure on the road and taught me the ropes about getting your rest and trying to eat healthy," Green says.
At 62, Bridgewater is the band's oldest member, but she could probably work the rest of the band under the table. She made her Monterey debut in 1973 with the legendary Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and went on to star on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for creating the role of Glinda the Good Witch of the South in "The Wiz." After a long sojourn in Paris, she returned to the States and won Grammy Awards for her tributes to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. She's embraced the band because of the security offered by a peerless rhythm section.

One summer a few years ago, I spent some time on a dairy farm in northern Italy. The farm, called Finocchio Verde ("green fennel"), produces sheep and goat cheese, so the bulk of my work was milking and pasturing sheep and goats. As one does, I got attached to one of the goats, a baby boy named Pistolino. While the others were munching grass and wild herbs, Pistolino would curl up in my lap to hang out, or allow me to carry him around. I wrote to the farmers later that year and, half in jest, inquired about Pistolino. "He was delicious," they wrote back.
Accounting for roughly 70 percent of all red meat consumed worldwide, goat meat beats beef and lamb by a good margin. Its popularity extends from India and Pakistan to the Middle East and Africa, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean, and, alas, to a farmhouse in Piedmont, Italy. In the United States, where a trendy sandwich without goat cheese is like a cake without frosting, goat meat is still mostly consumed by ethnic communities. And while it is popping up more on fine dining menus as chefs push sustainability, goat is an easy and rewarding project for the home cook. Versatile, flavorful, sustainable, and healthy, there's very little goat doesn't have going for it.
Goat lends itself to slow-cooking — braising, roasting, and stewing. It can be grilled, but only as long as the meat comes from a kid goat (three to five months old), otherwise it will be tough. Goat is very lean meat, and many cuts do not take well to the open flame. Better to enjoy a tender, juicy final product than test your luck.
Whole legs, for example, are perfect for braising just like lamb, though to compare the taste of the two animals would be an oversimplification. While a goat's flavor deepens with age, goat is generally milder and more nuanced than its wooly counterpart. The enormous geographic range of goat's popularity means you can draw from myriad flavors and accompaniments when planning a recipe. Take cues from the countries where goat dishes are prevalent and keep things traditional.
In Greater Boston, it's not difficult to purchase goat meat. Though some new-generation butchers like M.F. Dulock in Somerville carry the meat, and specialty butchers like Savenor's special-order it, ethnic markets are a good place to start, and the meat is less expensive.
Waltham India Market is one place to go. Once you've worked your way through the sprawling produce, and the well-stocked dry goods aisles, the butcher in the back is the go-to guy for goat. Common cuts such as chunks of shoulder are displayed in the case, but you can request another cut. Note that goat is often sold on the bone. This makes eating it slightly less dainty, but the bones provide a lot of the best flavor that comes out in the cooking process.
On a stretch of Prospect Street outside Inman Square, a confusingly named little store beckons customers with signs marked "GOAT" on the window. It has two names — Al Bara Market and Al Hoda Market — both written on the storefront (one in English and the other in Arabic) and both routinely used.
In addition to a well-stocked selection of Middle Eastern and North African dry goods, Al Bara is a full-service halal butcher, and delivers on the promise of goat. The goat leg sold to me by manager Laith Albehacy came from an animal he killed himself at a slaughterhouse in Athol.
So this interaction isn't confined to grass-fed meat at farmers' markets. Albehacy purchases the animals from farmers at an auction in Littleton on Tuesdays, and slaughters according to the halal guidelines four times a week.
Meat at Al Bara is as fresh as it gets.
Goat is available at Al Bara Market/Al Hoda Market, 304 Prospect St., Cambridge, 617-441-7854; M.F. Dulock Pasture-Raised Meats, 201a Highland Ave., Somerville, 617-666-1970; Savenor's Market, 160 Charles St., Boston,
617-723-6328 and 92 Kirkland St., Cambridge, 617-576-6328; and Waltham India Market, 315 Moody St., Waltham, 781-899-6018.

Genealogy research by Mark Humphrys,
Home Blog Surnames Ancestors Contact
HumphrysFamilyTree.comThe genealogy site of Mark Humphrys. Genealogies of families connected to me or to my wife. Mostly in Ireland, England and Scotland, though with some branches around the world. Includes a number of famous families.
My study in 2016.
IntroductionI have been researching my family tree since 1983, and my wife's family tree since 1995. I have nearly 1,500 public web pages of original research on local and family history in Ireland, England and Scotland.
This research is driven by personal criteria - by who is related to me or to my wife - so it is hard to summarise exactly what is here. The detail also varies. Some families I cover in enormous detail. Other families I merely sketch since they are covered by others elsewhere. (Some lines here connect to landed, titled and Royal families.)
I started a website in 1994, but I think I did not start putting genealogy onto it until 1995. There are surviving archive.org copies of my site from 1999. (There are no earlier archive.org copies because the servers it was on before this blocked spiders.)
I think my site is the oldest continuously-running genealogy site in Ireland. (Paddy Waldron's site is older, but took a break.)
This site has seen traffic of up to 148,000 page views per month.
The Thomond motor car and My family tree
My probable connection with the World family tree.
Blennerhassett Cashel, probable descendant of Edward III.
This all began in 1983, as research in motoring history, when I began to research a series of cars built by my grandfather and others in Ireland in the 1920s and 1930s: The "Thomond" motor car. This led on to researching My family tree in general. There was a vast amount of family history material to start with because so many of my family were involved in the Irish revolution of 1916-23. Family members were arrested, jailed, on hunger-strike, active in underground government, shot, and even killed. It is a cliché in Ireland that one's ancestors were in the GPO in the Rising in 1916 (similar to all the families in the US that claim to have been on the Mayflower), but my grandfather Dick Humphreys did fight in the GPO in 1916, and his uncle "The O'Rahilly", one of the leaders of the rebellion, was the only leader to be killed in action (the others were executed).
I could summarise my family as almost archetypal Catholics made good in the 19th century in Ireland - after the ending of the repressive laws against Catholics, when a vast body of Irish Catholics slowly began to work their way up from nothing through trade, farming and business, to form the middle class of the emerging state at the start of the 20th century. The O'Maras, O'Rahillys and Flanagans all rose like this over the course of the 19th century. Indeed, the writer Kate O'Brien used the O'Maras as the archetypal example of such a family. My great-great-grandfather Stephen O'Mara was a Parnellite MP. My great-grandfather James O'Mara, Home Rule MP, Sinn Fein TD, was a member of the 1st Dail in 1919, as was my grand-uncle W.T. Cosgrave, who became the first Prime Minister of an independent Ireland in 1922. His son Liam Cosgrave (my mother's first cousin) became Prime Minister of Ireland in 1973.
My family tree
My wife's family tree
My wife's best connection to the World family tree.
Augustus Reebkomp, descendant of Edward III.
I never planned to research My wife's family tree as well, but it was too interesting to resist, and again, a lot of source material has survived which I could read. Her family descends from an impossibly romantic story: Augustus "Reebkomp", the illegitimate son of Henry Herbert, 10th Earl of Pembroke in England in the 18th century. Reebkomp was the product of an infamous elopement in 1762 that is referred to in the movie The Madness of King George. He grew up with his legitimate half-brother (the future 11th Earl), and money came out of the Earl's family for him and his descendants for almost a full hundred years. Through him, my wife descends from most of the great old Anglo-Irish families of the Pale of the last few hundred years, which is of particular interest to me.
Apart from the above, her family history can be summarised as merchants and traders in Scotland in the 17th and 18th centuries, who rose to the middle class there centuries before that was possible in Ireland. Indeed, through one line we see a slow descent from a great family, Skene of Skene, Aberdeenshire (as opposed to the sudden and spectacular descent of the illegitimate son above).
My wife's family tree
Our common family treeAs you head further back of course, your lines either peter out (as mine do), or else you link up with quite literally millions of other people (as my wife's tree does). Through those gateway ancestors my wife gets a descent (indeed, a number of descents) from the medieval Royal House of England. In particular, the most recent monarch she descends from is Edward III. This is not actually that unusual. My most popular web page of all, and the one with most universal appeal, is my collection of Royal Descents of famous people, which shows how much of the population of the west descends provably from medieval European royalty.
It seems almost certain that one of my lines, the Cashel / Blennerhassett line, descends from Edward III as well, but I am still working on it. Hence I have separated "My wife's family tree" - the families that only my wife descends from, from "Our common family tree" - the families that she descends from, and that I may too if the Blennerhassett link is proven.
Much of this earlier part of my website, such as my brief sketches of medieval royalty and other well-known families, is not original research, nor intended to be, but is merely a kind of extended Ancestors Chart for my wife and I.
Our common family tree
Family History in our Wedding Service
Genealogy in generalI have made a few more general contributions to genealogy.
Hypertext Burke's Peerage pedigree formatI think I was the first to really argue for a hypertext version of the Burke's Peerage format as the ultimate way to draw family trees, especially complex interconnected trees. I think I was the first to highlight the advantage of variable resolution:
Royal Descents of famous peopleMy most popular webpage is my collection of Royal Descents of famous people.
Most Recent Common Ancestor of all humansMy Royal Descents of famous people page seems to suggest that almost everyone in the West descends from Charlemagne. There has been a lot of further recent evidence (notably computer simulations) that this is true, i.e. that the most recent common ancestor of all of humanity (or at least all of the West) may be not in pre-history but actually in historical times. This new theory is explained at my popular Common ancestors of all humans page.
See my article: Ryan Tubridy descends from Brian Boru. And so do you. Mark Humphrys, Irish Times, 1 Dec 2010.
Prominent familiesMy most useful original contributions - families of universal interest, that are done in detail - are:
"I spent the whole evening reading over a parcel of my own letters, addressed to my sisters
which they fancied worth preserving.
What a strange creature is man, more strange still woman!
I am as different to what I was 15 years ago,
as I am now to an entire stranger.
My letters must have been amusing at the time they were written
but the subjects were so personal that now when time has shown me those persons in a different
point of view, and changed the whole face of things,
they appeared to me highly ridiculous,
and my own compositions not worth reading again.
I threw the whole bundle into the fire"
The holy grail of my genealogy research: years so far I have spent trying to extract the Blennerhassett descent implied in the notes of my grand-aunt above, and the Blennerhassett descent remains unproven.
I have spent a great deal of time and money on this research. Research involves travel and many expenses.
Some research "things to do" are not done for years, because I do not have the money to do them.

Pass-a-Loutre Wildlife Management Area is located in southern Plaquemines Parish at the mouth of the Mississippi River, approximately 10 miles south of Venice, and is accessible only by boat. The nearest public launches are in Venice. This area is owned by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and encompasses some 115,000 acres.
The area is characterized by river channels with attendant channel banks, natural bayous, and man-made canals which are interspersed with intermediate and fresh marshes. Hurricane damage and subsidence have contributed to a major demise of vegetated marsh areas resulting in formation of large ponds. Habitat development is primarily directed toward diverting sediment-laden waters into open bay systems (i.e., creating delta crevasses), which promotes delta growth.
Waterfowl and other migratory game bird hunting, rabbit hunting, and archery hunting for deer are permitted on Pass-a-Loutre.
A trapping program is conducted annually to control surplus furbearing animals and alligators.
There is excellent fishing in the freshwater areas as well as the more saline waters. Fish species present are typical inland saltwater varieties near the gulf and along river channels. Freshwater species including bass, bream, catfish, crappie, warmouth, drum, and garfish can be caught in the interior marsh ponds. Salt water species include redfish, speckled trout and flounder.
Other forms of recreation available include boating, picnicking, nature study, crabbing, and camping. There are 5 designated tent-camping areas on the area and 3 areas which have been designated to allow the mooring of recreational houseboats. Prior to mooring; however, houseboats must receive a permit from the Department. More information can be obtained by calling 337-373-0032.

Author Notes: So...once again my trusty whole foods market has lived up to their name. I know in the past I have mentioned my obsession with wf just once or twice...okay, maybe it was a little more than that...okay i give, i give...it was ALOT more than that. Well...what do you want me to say? They deserve the credit. I mean, I go to wf so often the seafood department knows me by my first name...it's actually quite sick. I guess it all began when I started placing special orders over the telephone for my sis' gluten-free tequila lime burger...let me tell you, these cats will go above and beyond to cater to people with food allergies and boy do they knock it out of the part. Anyways, the other day I went in to wf to go to the seafood counter and pick up some smoked alaskan salmon and in the process I ordered some of those burgers for next-day pickup. Well, apparently my trusty seafood guy got a bit distracted and gave me the order that was sitting next to my smoked alaskan salmon ( i thought the package felt a bit heavy). But...no need to fret, he realized it and tracked me down on aisle 8 just to exchange the orders and of course, apologize for the mix-up. Now that is what I call hospitality!!! Okay, so enough about the seafood...let's talk about the homemade soups at wf's. Every day the wf's crew creates a variety of seasonal soups for their daily soup bar. Recently I have become attached to their chicken posole, tortilla, garden vegetable and most of all, carrot ginger soup. Now, I know what you are thinking? Carrots are strictly for crudite platters and for dipping in Hidden Valley Ranch. But let me assure you...they knock this soup out of the park. The carrots give the soup that sweet and nutty taste after being simmered in a flavorful broth along with the half lemony, half spicy and peppery taste of the ginger. Top it off with a bit of fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt and you have yourself a nice bowl of thick, hearty, and robust soup. Of course I had to replicate the recipe after purchasing the soup around five to six times per week...it can get a little expensive. Rest assured I replicated the soup pretty darn well if I may say so myself and couldn't resist adding my own touch...canned pumpkin to the mix, just to give the soup that rich fall flavor that sadly will soon be coming to an end. I hope ya'll enjoy this soup because it has definitely kept me warm and cozy against those freezing fall temperatures. Not to mention carrots make your hair shiny and eyes brighter...well, at least that is what my grandmother has been telling me all these years. Hey, anything to get me to eat my veggies, right?
The soup can be served immediately. I garnish mine with a dollop of greek yogurt and a bit of freshly grated parmesan cheese....so yummy!!!
