Vegan Goat Cheese, Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Pork Chops with Roasted Garlic Fingerling Potatoes and Pearl Onions
I've been test limits since I popped out the womb. When I was about three, I was sitting in the child seat of my mom's shopping cart. As she navigated up to a check-out lane, I snatched a bag of Doritos off of a shelf. My dear mother, being the sweetheart that she is, looked me in the eyes and said "No, honey. Not today". I eyed her right back, my signature devious grin spreading across my face, and ripped the bag open with a triumphant pull...my three-year-old logic leading me to believe the chips would now have to be mine.
Wrong. My mom grabbed that bag out of my hand faster than a ninja and gave it right back to the checkout lady. It was probably in that moment my mother realized that in ten years, she was in for quite a ride. How right she was ;)
I was actually quite a well-behaved tween. Once I hit 14, it was a down-hill slide. I think I hit a low point during my brief stint at Ohio University. I'm going to link you to an article that I must first preface with an explanation. The Extreme Smokers Club is not real. My two friends and I started it as a joke. The university had a deal going on that, for any club on campus with 30 members or more on the group sign-up sheet, free hoodies would be provided. We wanted those damn hoodies. One night, my two friends and I walked around the dorms gathering signatures. I made the unfortunate mistake of asking a girl that worked for the local newspaper. Questions ensued, and my smart ass couldn't help but embellish. One week later, this story appears on the cover of the Post:
Students Taking Extreme Measures To Protest Anti-Smoking Movement
Needless to say, I felt like a real A-Hole.
How does all of this relate to my recipe? Vegan Pork Chops definitely pushes some boundaries, and I'm afraid of the harassment from all my fellow vegans that don't jive with the fake meats. Try it. It's good. And if you don't have anything nice to say, you can just stuff your face instead :)
with Roasted Garlic Fingerling Potatoes and Pearl Onions
- 6 Vegan Pork Chops (recipe follows)
- 2 TBSP Olive Oil, divided
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 Sun-Dried Tomatoes, diced
- 1 (10-ounce) bag of Frozen Spinach, thawed and moisture squeezed out
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/4 cup Vegan Goat Cheese (recipe follows)
- 1 1/2 cups No Chicken Broth (Better Than Bouillon)
- 1/2 Lemon, zested
- 2 TBSP Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
Warm the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until combined, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the vegan goat cheese, and stir to combine. Set aside.
Use a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the thickest portion of the "pork chop". Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of the spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture. Season the outside of the pork with salt and pepper. They should look like this:
In a small bowl combine the no chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and mustard.
Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add the pork. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Mmmmm....
Transfer the pork to a side dish and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan as the chicken broth simmers. Reduce the broth by half to make a light sauce, about 8 minutes. Spoon some sauce over the pork before serving.
- 1 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
- 1 cup Water mixed with 1 tsp No Chicken Broth Paste
- 3 TBSP MimicCreme
- 4 cups Imagine Foods No Chicken Broth
- 1 cup MimicCreme
- 1/8 cup Tamari
- 1/2 TBSP Better Than Bouillon's No Beef Broth
- 1 cup Pineapple Coconut Nectar
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/2 tsp 5 Spice Powder
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Shallot Powder
- 4 whole Cloves, ground
- 3 points broken off of a Whole Star Anise
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 additional cup Water
Next, take all of the Seitan Broth ingredients, and mix them together in a very large pot. Bring to a boil.
Cover the pot, reduce heat to simmer, and let the seitan cook for a little over an hour, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
Don't throw out the broth! Use a slotted spoon to remove each "Pork Chop", and place into a collander to drain. Let both the chops and the broth cool. Allow the "pork chops" to marinade in the broth until ready to use. Drain again before using.
- 1/2 cup Vegan Cream Cheese (Follow Your Heart)
- 1/4 cup Vegan Sour Cream (Follow Your Heart)
- 1/3 inch thick slice of Sunergia Lemon Oregano Soy Feta
- 1/2 tsp Shallot Powder
- Splash of Lemon Juice
- Splash of Vermouth
- Salt, to taste
Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- 1 lb Fingerling Potatoes, washed and scrubbed, skin on
- 15 Pearl Onions
- 5 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Fresh Chervil, chopped
- 1 1/2 TB Fresh Sage, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil, and blanch onions for 1 minute. Drain, and allow to cool. Using a paring knife, remove the root end of the Pearl Onions, and peel off the skins. Set aside.
Preheat a hotel pan or heavy metal baking dish in a 375 oven. Toss the potatoes, pearl onions, garlic, olive oil, sage and chervil with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the potatoes. They should sizzle. Roast until they turn brown, then turn oven down to 350 degrees. Cook for about 30 minutes or until a knife easily pierces the spuds.

The world must intervene to restrain the Israeli army
Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi

Collective Punishment

Operation Protective Edge

The world watches but does nothing as yet another crisis unfolds. The tragedy of the disappearance and
killing of three Israeli teenagers last
month has provoked a campaign of collective punishment against Palestinian citizens across the occupied territories. Mass arrests have been carried out, whose victims include Palestinian parliamentarians. And revenge attacks have occurred, with Israeli settlers taking the law into their own hands. In one such attack a Palestinian boy –
Muhammad Abu Khdair
– was kidnapped, and reportedly burned alive.
Rocket attacks from Gaza
that followed then allowed Israel to implement (and justify) what I believe was a pre-planned military operation. But let us be clear, this is not an attack on Hamas, nor a simple act of self-defence. This is an attack on all Palestinians. Most of the victims have been civilians. Many of those who will die in the continuing air strikes, as well as in any ground action, will be ordinary people. And we know from past experience that a large number of those civilians will be children. In Israel's last major attack on the Gaza Strip in 2008/9,
89 children were killed
by the Israeli army's own admission – and many other estimates put the total far higher. We are seeing vivid and brutal examples of this again. Seven Palestinians, including two children, were killed and up to 25 wounded
by Israeli bombs in the town of Khan Younis
, in south Gaza, on Tuesday. At the time of writing, 17 civilians, including seven children, are dead. And not a single Israeli has been killed in the rocket attacks. The last point, the asymmetry of the conflict, is perhaps the root of all of the violence. The fact remains that an illegal military occupation has been in place for 47 years. It is one that has transformed life for Palestinians into an oppressive system of apartheid. Without changing that, nothing else will change. Neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis will ever enjoy real peace or security. The international community should intervene to restrain Israel's army, which has called up 40,000 reserve soldiers. World leaders must stop the escalation to protect the Palestinian people and prevent further slaughter, the like of which we have witnessed this week.
We demand an immediate meeting of the UN security council and a decision to impose a complete ceasefire with effective international protection for the Palestinian people, who have no way of matching the superpower of the mighty Israeli army. We call on the Palestinian leadership to stop its hesitation in establishing a unified Palestinian leadership and go straight to the international criminal court to hold Israel accountable. Without these measures, I fear worse may be to come. *This piece was first published with http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/10/un-ceasfire-palestinian-lives-conflict-gaza-occupation-israelis.

American businesses are carving out more room for veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan − finally driving the overall unemployment rate for that group into single digits in September. But joblessness for the U.S. women home from war continued to climb, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
The portion of post-9/11 veterans seeking work fell to 9.7 percent last month, compared to 10.1 percent in August and 11.7 percent in September 2011, according to BLS figures.
However, nearly one out of five women who served in the military at home or abroad during the two wars is now without a job, the new BLS statistics show. As the U.S. troop drawdown continues in Afghanistan, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 female vets surged to 19.9 percent in September, compared to 14.7 percent a year earlier and 12.1 percent in August.
"More women were deployed than ever before but an awful lot of them are single moms who face the challenge of coming home," said John E. Pickens III, executive director of VeteransPlus, a nonprofit that has offered financial counseling to more than 150,000 current and former service members.
"Someone has been taking care of their kids, and now they want to refocus their lives on being mom. Often, though, the kind of employment that may be available to them is not sufficient to help them meet that dream of both working and being that stable mom," added Pickens, a combat medic with the U.S. Army Special Forces and the 82nd Airborne Division in the early 1970s.
And while many companies trumpet their patriotic side by plucking male combat veterans and plunking them into corporate roles, women who served with some of those same guys often are not viewed by employers with the same level of admiration, Pickens has been told my some of his female clients. In short: Women who logged time in the war zones don't earn the same level of prestige - or employability - are do U.S. males who recently were in the line of fire.
"They are misunderstood and challenged in a number of ways," Pickens said. "Typically, folks look at male veterans returning as warriors who we need to honor, and say we need to do what we can for these warriors. Women, unfortunately, don't carry home that same mantel as a warrior. But they certainly have served beside the men and, in many cases, have done a lot of things that put themselves as risk."
Women comprise about 15 percent of the U.S. military, said Genevieve Chase, founder of American Women Veterans, a foundation that works to improve the lives of women veterans and their families. She served in Afghanistan in 2006 and remains in the U.S. Army Reserves. She earned a Purple Heart for injuries sustained in a blast in Helmand Province when a car-packed with explosives smashed into the truck in which she was riding. She describes herself as "currently unemployed" - and has been, she said, for almost all of 2012, living off of what's left of her savings.
"A huge part of it is we come home and we don't wear the warrior archetype on our sleeves," Chase said. "We do come home and the American public doesn't understand what we do overseas; they don't quite know how to receive us, don't know how to relate to us. Even some of our brothers, even some of the men who we served with, don't quite know how to relate to us."

Still, some U.S. companies, including Citi and Ryder, have shifted hiring priorities and are hiring more former service members, helping to trim the jobless rate among post-9/11 veterans, Pickens said. Ryder has put ex-military folks into driving and technical positions. Citi is helping move people from the battlefield to Wall Street.
"Certainly, I think some companies, big and small, are realizing these men and women make excellent employees because of their commitment to duty, because of all the traits instilled in them in the military," Pickens said. "And the more that easily recognizable companies like Ryder, like Citi are seen hiring veterans, the more other smaller businesses and organizations will say, 'My goodness. Look at this. Maybe I should I check this out?'"
But the mission to re-employ more ex-service members is far from complete, contends a leading veterans group whose chief executive officer said he remains "deeply concerned" about the lack of attention paid to the issue by America's political leaders - particularly its presidential candidates.
During Wednesday night's debate, for example, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney both failed to adequately address pressing veterans issues - including the fact that post-9/11 veterans remain strapped with an unemployment rate that's higher than the rest of the U.S. workforce, said Paul Rieckhoff, CEO and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonprofit group with more than 200,000 members.
"Veteran joblessness was not mentioned once," said Rieckhoff, an Iraq veteran who called the latest unemployment statistics "appalling," noting that roughly 250,000 post-9/11 veterans are now out of work.
"It's something most Americans don't realize until we are reminded. And this (lack of candidate attention) is in such contrast to the last two presidential elections, when Iraq and Afghanistan and the troops were such a centerpiece," he said.
"Because the war (in Iraq) has ended doesn't mean the people who served there have just gone away — I mean 2.4 million of them were in Iraq and Afghanistan, and tens of thousands are still over there. There are long-term social, financial and human costs to being at war for 10 years. The candidates have a moral obligation to focus on those folks. The war may be over for the civilian population. But for us, in many ways, it's still going on."

Album reviews [ FANS]Let Jamiroquai take you on a White Knuckle Ride. Come here to talk about anything related to the new album...
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
JMQ, RDLS & me
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Okay. So got home today with a note that I missed my package.
Hunted down the mail lady. Finally got the original edition in my hands from the UK. (I'm in the US) Although the cover's cracked. What's up with my deluxe edition? I ordered it 10/10?
Listening now.
But after reading the back, have to crack up at the "And now... IN 2010 an extra special no thanks to:"
Great -offers some charities to support
A genuine thanks to everyone, and a mention to his pets! So sweet!
Back later.
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
YAYY!! unfortunately the Jamiro-Gods have punished me by not shipping mine yet lol
sooon..... soooon....
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I love the Album, I'm listen it all day for one week!
This is the second best album from Jamiroquai. The songs are awesome, more acoustic, but still you can feel the jazz on it (but not much funk).
She's A Fast Persuader, Hey Floyd and That's Not The Funk I Want (I legally get this one on Saturn.de) are the best of the album. White Knucle Ride, Rock Dust Light Star and All Good In The Hood are awesome too. The worst ones are Goodbye To My Dancer, Blue Skies and Never Gonna Be Another.
I Hope that Kay and Jamiroquai will make another album soon. Exelent comeback!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Overall, it's new Jamiroquai music and I'm thrilled. Great vocals, instrumentalists -very talented, music is great with new styles. And I think I understand the meaning "Pipe & Slippers"!
When I listen to new music, I listen with open ears and nit-pick. But eventually it becomes background. And all songs should have some peak. Also recognize their style is to combine styles. Many songs don't end where you think,, they continue past, which I think is one of their trademarks! (and not typical of pop which is short & sweet). But this will be the best part of "LIVE" performances. One element throughout the album not my taste, but it'll grow on me. Many Lyrics based mainly on relationships. I kinda miss Space
Rock, Dust, Light, Star probably my favorite song. Has a surround hum to it. Feel Good chords. Music is great and well-written. @ 4:02 he says "(Ch)hit it" but sounds like "Cheetah to me! So I like that.
She's a Fast Persuader –love it! Space & Dance. The JMQ element. The only clubbin' song. The one you get that star-gaze from. I like the effects. Plus a sax solo.
Lifeline Just about the best song. Starts out like with a Motown intro, and upbeat. But then a Beatlesque sound, then jazz. Moves through many styles. But a feel-good song. Well- written, great vocals!
Two Completely Different Things is a great song. I love the music, smooth rhythms & vocals. One of the best for sure.
Goodbye to My Dancer I like the slow groove, not sure about the chorus. The saddest song. Best part is when he comes back with "Now I pretend…It's Over now" Like a shout back!
Smoke & Mirrors –kinda funky/jazzy. Cool lyrics. (I Can't figure this one out!) The Rolling Stones reference. Good song. Cool girl chorus "Tonight my dear, tonight your lovin..." Love the brass and different instruments in this one.
Still love Hurtin' Simple, and funky, rock. Great instruments. Builds up to the chorus.
All Good in the Hood is great. Rhythmic, great vocals. The chorus sounds a bit off- but gives it that character. Can't wait for the remix.
Hey Floyd A lot going on in this song. –reference 'ride that crazy white horse' as a drug reference (H or C). Groovy, then reggae, reminds me of 'Bob Marley' or the 'Police'. Jay has a great reggae voice, and then it turns into a fast groove, then jazzy keyboards, kinda a bit all over! But I love it!
I think the keyboards remind me of Stevie Wonder music.
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I'm so happy today.
Finally I got a copy of RDLS today... I found it on a record store and it's the last stock available! The one thing surprised me is that how fast it's available here, I think I must wait for months.
And my top choices are (not in order):
1. Hurtin: I think this song captures the darker side of Jay. Doesn't sound like the 'usual' JMQ sounds we think, but that's the point.
2. All Good In The Hood: Has groove 70s (or 80s?) vibes. Great bassline.
3. She's A Fast Persuader: Probably the best song of this album. I love the instrumentation.
4. Two Completely Different Things: In my opinion, this is what I call "sun-kissed", instead of Blue Skies. Simple, catchy lyrics.
5. Hey Floyd: This song is a surprise. Something like Latin Jazz in the beginning, then shifting to rock/instrumental, then reggae, the rock again...
Overall: Great album. Maybe this doesn't go to their Acid Jazz flavor again, like some of us prefer, but you'll be satisfied.
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Happy for you! I saw it on sale too the other day in a tiny records store but I didn't buy it yet... have no idea why though...
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
So it's just me and Caroli only who haven't got the new album?
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
and meee!!!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Don't worry... I bet you'll get it in a week or two from now on...
Ehm...is this your birthday today? Happy Birthday!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Yes..yes.. thank youuu Ninochka
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Happy Birthday Black Capricorn!
Caroli -no cd yet? Funny how we wait anxiously, then don't get around to it!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Happy B.Day BlackCapricornDay! Have a great one (and maybe get the album? )
Yep Giba...no cd yet. I seriously though it would be more difficult to resist the buying but actually it's not...I even think I could perfectly live without buying it...my Jamiroquai fever is way over now
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Happy Birthday BlackCapricornDay!!!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I don't have the new album yet .
Pffff... I said to my mom uuhms I mean the Dutch Santa, that it was a great "Sint Nicolaas" present... so I have to wait till the 5th of December... going nuts till then I suppose !
I like to read the thank you(not?)s.
Haaaaaa is it almost December?
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Aww thanks girls !!
Of course it will be nice to have RDLS as a birthday present, but i couldn't ask anyone to beg , i can't ask my father because he already gave me an automatic scooter-like motorcycle as a birthday present, and you know what the saddest part is : i can't ride any motorcycle, i even can ride a bicycle when i was 19!what a shame,huhh? i don't know,, i have some kind of paranoia to ride something with 2 wheel in a row it scared me hell to death..anyway i can't ask for my boyfriend because i don't have boyfriend, i can't ask for my brother because turns out that he is in poor condition and borrow my money!
So i'll buy it by myself, i barely never ask anything in my life ,i used to buy anything by myself.. the reason why i didn't get the album is i don't have time to go , i used to hang out every weekend with my mum, but now i have to visit my new niece every weekend!and i'm too tired to go out after work, i don't buy online because i don't have credit card (yes i don't have)and i have to pay the very expensive shipping cost, so i'll wait in patience, i'll have my time, i'm a laid back fan ..
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I understand!
Sometimes things are not easy to do or to get, and that don't make you a bad or less fan then others!
I wait till "Sint Nicolaas" just because I can not miss any money till then.
But I can listen to the new songs on youtube and that's better then nothing!
So we are together waiting in patience (or do our best to stay patience )!
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
hhmm right .. i found out that money is my thing too,i'm living in a third world country so 5-7 dollars quite a number for me (convert it in rupiahs)like it's a mid-month and i already runs out my salary,i spent my last extra money to help the victim of Merapi-Mentawai (instead of buy JMQ's) but i don't regret it and i will definitely gonna save my money for my RDLS!!
Hatter we are way off topic here , forgive our "poorness" everybody ! (kidding Hatter of course)
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I beg my Dad to bought me RDLS.
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
[offtopic] But BlackCapricornDay you're only real poor when you are poor in your heart (not that it makes things much easier - but it's keeping me going saying things like this to myself!) and as far as I know you, you have a very good heart.
And I don't have a dad to beg for the new album.
Haha maybe I must find him saying I need 29 years of birthdaypresents . [/offtopic]
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
not gonna use much words for this, i guess this one suits very good for it : PERFECT ;D once again, this is jamiroquai, always has, always will
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
couldn't agree more...
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Now I'm often listen to the new album when studying, and probably my parents started to think I'm nuts because I'm singing alone...
And they can't listen to the music-I'm always use a headphone.
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
Got the deluxe 2 weeks ago...when i got it, I didn't listen to the album until 2 days later when I was driving, wow what an experience
RDLS: love the psychedelic rock vibe to it
WKR: this gets your adrenaline pumping when your dancing, working-out or cruising the streets
S&M: old school vibe, it's like something you would hear in the mid-80's
AGITH: it reminds me of a video of jamiroquai in 93' i saw on youtube..they were performing rapper's delight/rock me again and and again at club citta...the intro (first few seconds) is identical to this track. Also I can't get walkin out on me yeh, walkin out off my mind each time I listen to this song
Hurtin: one word= sexy
BS: i still think this is a beautiful song, it's personal
Lifeline: love the horns
SAFP: classic jamiroquai, the intro has a sci fi feel to it, also I could picture this being played at strip clubs...the break down of the drums reminds me of revolution 93'
TCDT: smooth jazzy
GTMD: guitar riffs and percussion stands out in this track
NGBA: sad song, listening to this track on a gloomy rainy day sets the mood just right
HF: wow!! absolutely my favorite track, i just love the transition to the reggae style and transit back to original, it's simply unique
AGITH: for acoustic version, its alright, much prefer the original
Angeline: it has this new wave-ish vibe to it
HIO: I really like it, it's sought of like HF with the usage of 2 different styles and transiting them back and froth...i think this is the first time the band uses dixie in their music
overall, RDLS= 9/10
Re: Album reviews [ FANS]
I must be older, I don't hold out anymore!
Thanks Funkyette -Great to hear another review. And AGITH -wouldn't have known that!
Dixie? I don't have my Deluxe version yet!

For many people in the New York City area, the only thing worse than Superstorm Sandy has been the utilities' response to it. The storm hit nearly three weeks ago, but some residents are still in the dark-in terms of both power and communication from the energy providers.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been among the sharpest critics of the utilities, and on Tuesday he went a step farther, signing an executive order to set up a commission under the powerful Moreland Act that will "investigate the response, preparation and management of New York's power utility companies with major storms hitting the state over the past two years."
The commission will make recommendations to revamp and modernize the regulation and management of power services in New York.
"As evidenced by Hurricane Sandy," Mr. Cuomo said in a statement announcing his order, "the existing labyrinth of regulatory bodies, state agencies and authorities, and quasi-governmental bodies has contributed to a dysfunctional utility system."
Some skeptics think the governor's move serves more than one purpose. They say Mr. Cuomo hopes it will deflect criticism of him for failing to reform the Long Island Power Authority, a state entity. The state Public Service Commission issued a report in June blasting LIPA's performance, but the governor has not taken action and has named only one of a number of board members he has the power to appoint.
This week, two customers filed a class action lawsuit against LIPA and National Grid, the company that operates LIPA's network, claiming among other things that its power outage management system operates on a "25-year-old mainframe computer running an obsolete computer program language."
In all likelihood, there's plenty of blame to go around. Most importantly, the quality of the appointees to the Moreland Commission-headed by former state Attorney General Robert Abrams-suggests the governor is serious about addressing the shortcomings of the energy supply and regulatory system.
And that's a good thing. With severe weather events becoming more frequent, New York cannot afford a "labyrinth" of regulators and utilities incapable of rapid and effective response.

Here's some news that is sure to elicit a positive response: Yes, the seemingly immortal British prog-rock outfit everyone's dad's friend keeps trying to get them to listen to, is going on tour. And in a decision that will likely repel all but the most devoted Yes fans (i.e. Yes fans), the band will perform three full albums in their entirety at 19 out of the 23 stops. That's right: Yes will be performing The Yes Album, Close To The Edge, and Going For The One in succession, 19 times over a six-week period. (The remaining four shows will be at casinos where, due to time restrictions, the band will ironically forgo Going For The One.) For those keeping track, using album-length estimates and discounting any jammage that may add to the length of these shows, that clocks in at almost two-and-a-half hours per concert, and over 53 hours of awesome, mystical, soaring, synth-y affirmations in total.
This marks the first time the band has performed a full album live since 1973, which suggests that Chris Squire just devised this David-Blaine-ian exercise in musical endurance to give the finger to everyone who still doesn't like his group. Tour dates are below.

Experience a new way to enjoy beef jerky! Our Jerky is perfectly sliced, soaked in our secret marinade and through our very long multi step process done to a crisp. Each bite is a crunch exploding with flavors and textures unique to our product. We do not just dry our product until it's crispy, like some have tried to make our product, because the levels of flavors, experience and quality is lost. So unique is our product because of our process, the levels of flavors and texture, that we do not call it a jerky but the one and only
Hawaiian Beef Chips
! So please, enjoy our take on beef not just for the flavors but for the experience as well.

[Election 2008]
1. He's Big Government John now: As a Senator, John McCain has voted nearly all of the time with the president who has created the largest government and run up the biggest deficits in American history.
That's not change you can believe in, my friends. He's 90% Bush, 9% Rove, and 1%That's-For-Me-to-Know-and-You-to-Find-Out.
2. She's Pork Barrel Sarah Palin: She's always been an expert in draining earmark money off the hardworking taxpayer. She submitted $197 million in earmarks - more per person than any other state -- in her current budget.
And the citizens of her little town got fifty times as much federal pork as the average American! How'd she do it? She hired a DC lobbyist. That's right: A K Street shark to fill her Main Street coffers - and advance her career in the bargain.
If you don't like the way Washington does business, you don't like her. What's the difference between Sarah Palin and an old-style GOP crony? Lipstick.
3. McCain is actually more extreme right-wing about Iraq than Bush/Cheney: The Bush/Cheney administration has come around and accepted the Obama vision of a schedule for withdrawing troops from Iraq. Better late than never, I suppose. Yet McCain's last definitive statement on the topic was that we could be there for fifty or one hundred years.
4. McCain thought the Surge would fail! The press hasn't seen fit to mention this, but McCain said that he was "very doubtful that we have enough troops" there to get the job done. So if you believe "the Surge" worked, McCain's military judgment was wrong. And it also means he was more extreme about the war than Bush and Cheney.
5. McCain's economy will be more of the same. If you like the economy we've got, vote John McCain. Every time a Republican runs for office he pretends he'll do things differently. Bush said the same things in 2000. Look at McCain's voting record. Wonder what McCainonomics would look like? In the words of the old ad, you're soaking in it right now.
6. McCain has a massive new tax on the middle class, while Obama will cut taxes for 90% of Americans. McCain wants to make health benefits taxable for working Americans who are lucky enough to have health insurance. The tax credit he offers won't make up the difference after he's done making you buy insurance on your own (which is the other part of his plan.) And he'll help the rich get more breaks while leaving the rest of us where we are. Obama will cut middle-class taxes.
7. McCain doesn't support the troops -- he fought against better benefits for returning vets -- and, perhaps as a result, the troops don't support him.
8. He may be too old: Don't be shy about saying it. It isn't ageism, and it isn't unkind, because it's not the years that concern us. Rather, it's how he comes across, his apparent lack of understanding of basic details (like Sunnis and Shi'ites), and his already reduced weekly work schedule.
If you want to elect a vital, dynamic, and clear-headed 72-year old Republican -- hey, Dennis Hopper seems pretty fit.
9. Who is this guy and what he has done with John McCain? The maverick's gone. He's sold out to the same group of 'advisors' and special interests that have run the Republican Party for years. He'll do exactly what they want him to -- which is exactly what we've been getting.
10. What glass ceiling? The Democrats nominated a woman for VP a quarter-century ago. If they're only that far behind real change, I guess that's progress -- for the Republicans, anyway. During the civil rights struggle they were about a century behind. But stop pretending they've done something new -- or that they've done it for anything but cynical, poll-tested reasons.
11. Don't believe McCain's sweet talk about the environment. His very first executive decision was to pick an oil-company-friendly politician who doesn't believe in climate change to be his VP. Barry Goldwater said "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." But Palin's wacky climate theories are "extremism in the defense of Exxon."
The planet may not survive four more years of that kind of government.
12. Women must not lose control of their bodies. If your 14-year-old daughter was raped and became pregnant, Palin and McCain would force her to have the baby -- no matter what your family thought was best. Whose "family values" are those?
13. That Sarah Palin sure is an extremist. She doesn't like moderates, and apparently they don't like her. Did you know she spoke a few months ago to a radical separatist group whose founder said he hated the American flag and American institutions? That her husband was a longtime member? And that the party's founder died in an illegal deal gone bad -- to buy plastic explosives?
14. Experience? Did you know that Sarah Palin has more executive experience than John McCain? True, by the GOP's definition. But did you know that Barack Obama provided services to more than 90,000 people as a community organizer? That's more than 10 times the size of Palin's little town.
Obama's community organizing work was done for a faith-based initiative. Maybe he should've hired a lobbyist instead.
Obama's state senate district was more than 14 times bigger than Palin's town. And did you know Obama manages a budget in the hundreds of millions and hundreds (or thousands) of employees as head of the most successful political campaign in recent memory? That's effective executive experience.
15. Exploiting the dead and wounded of 9/11 with this video? Shame on them. It's like they'd crawl over graves just to win an election. Come to think of it, isn't that what they're doing? At long last, sirs -- have you no sense of decency?

Ric Flair in Japan DVD-R
DVD-R Version
Please verify you have a compatible player before purchasing our DVD-R titles. We are not responsible for the compatibility of your player to our DVD-R titles.
Click here to check: (DVD-R Compatibility Chart)
In 1995, many American fans assumed Ric Flair was "past his prime" and no longer capable of the classics he had produced years earlier. That all changed on Flair's overseas journeys that year. Flair did far more than just your normal matches in Japan. He also competed in New Japan's annual G1 Climax Tournament against NJPW's best. Flair's battles that year, including an 30-minute epic with Masahiro Chono and a bloodbath with Keiji Muto proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that he was indeed still "The Man". Every match here, all unedited, can be considered a "lost classic" and a must have for "Nature Boy" fans all over the world.
Ric Flair vs. Hiroshi Hase, 5/3/95 (22:52)
Ric Flair vs. Masahiro Chono, 8/11/95 (30:00)

Betsy Ross: The Life Behind the Legend
Both iconic and controversial, Betsy Ross is one of the best known figures of the American Revolutionary era—and also the least understood.
The story of Betsy Ross and the making of the first American flag was introduced to public audiences by her grandson William Canby in 1870, at a talk before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The legend that grew cast Betsy as a simple seamstress honored by an unexpected chance to contribute to the independence movement. But the real Elizabeth Griscom Ross Ashburn Claypoole (1752–1836) would not have recognized the Betsy Ross of popular historical imagination.
Among the early flagmakers of the rebellion, Ross also fabricated cartridge cases for American soldiers and was among the most important professional flagmakers of the new republic. She labored for more than five decades as an upholsterer, crafting chair cases and covers and curtains and blinds as well as fabricating thousands of yards of fringe and tassels.
Co-curated by Marla Miller (University of Massachusetts) and Winterthur's Linda Eaton and Katie Knowles, this exhibition revealed the life and work of this celebrated flagmaker and upholsterer and looked at how the legend began.
Betsy Ross and the Making of America: Biography by Marla Miller
Released in spring 2010, Marla Miller's book, Betsy Ross and the Making of America, is the first scholarly biography of the iconic figure. Miller is a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and director of the Public History Program there. Find out more about her here.
Hear Miller speak about Betsy Ross in this June 14, 2010, interview with WFCR's Bob Paquette.
Buy Betsy Ross and the Making of America from Winterthur's Museum Store. Your purchase benefits museum programming.

Reverse Graffiti, sometimes known as "grime-writing," involves erasing away the soot, dirt, and pollution on a surface to create an image in the negative. Artist Moose Curtis and Fotorater founder Marc Cameron teamed up on commission from the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin and set four eco-cars in reverse on the walls of Munich.
Using a wood stencil, the artists blasted these concrete walls with high-pressure water to leave the images of a BMW i3, a Renault Twizy, a Nissan Leaf (not pictured), and a Tesla Roadster remaining, a picture painted in pollution.
Moose Curtis explains the art form as a way to show people how dirty the world is, as the layers of caked-on pollutants peel away and show just how much dirt there is.
Marc Cameron, the project manager, thought to bring together reverse graffiti with his and Mark Brown's light graffiti cars, another car-focused public art piece. With the SZ Magazin, the magazine section of one of Germany's leading newspapers, these reverse graffiti cars work with the symbolism of automobiles as polluting and destructive.
The four cars show the forward-looking greening of the car industry as well as the pollution of the current automotive-oriented world. Marc Cameron adds, "And, similar to the BMW Art Car project and Light Graffiti Cars, the Reverse Graffiti Cars project proves that motoring and the arts are an incredibly powerful combination."
Just to hammer the artsy point home, many of the pictures you see of these cars were shot with a lomograhy camera.
Take a longer look at these fantastic works and watch them get made, too.

A series of attacks mostly targeting security forces, including a suicide car bomb at an army base, killed 11 people, officials said Tuesday, updating a previous toll.
In the deadliest of Monday's incidents, a vehicle packed with explosives was detonated by a suicide attacker in the main northern city of Mosul, killing six soldiers and wounding seven others, according to security and medical officials.
The blast struck near a military base in the Al-Muthanna area of the city, 350 kilometres (220 miles) north of the capital.
Also in Mosul, a real estate developer, his wife, and the visiting bodyguard of a provincial council member were all stabbed to death inside the businessman's home late on Monday, officials said.
It was not immediately clear why the group were targeted.
Even as unrest has declined nationwide from its peak in 2006 and 2007, Mosul and surrounding Nineveh province remain one of the most violent regions of the country on a per capita basis, according to the Iraq Body Count watchdog.
Also on Monday, a roadside bomb in the northern city of Kirkuk killed a policeman and wounded two others, while four separate bombings and shootings in Baghdad left one person dead and three people wounded.
No organisation immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Sunni militants including Al-Qaeda's front group often target security forces and officials in a bid to destabilise the government and push the country back towards the sectarian war that blighted it from 2005 to 2008.
The violence is the latest in a wave of unrest including car bombs and suicide attacks after weeks of rallies in Sunni-majority areas calling for the ouster of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Do you have a lot of money your clients owe you in the form of accounts receivable? Do these invoices take time, like 60 days, to get paid? Are you in need of cash to finance your next production line? You are not a good credit and are not able to get a bank loan. What can you do?
Factoring may be the answer. Factoring means that you sell your accounts receivable to a factor or third party at a discount to provide funding. It is a short term solution to your working capital problem.
Here is how it works. You sell your invoices to a factor at a discount and these invoices act as collateral. You would typically receive 80% of the invoice value upfront. You will receive the balance remaining less a factor fee once your client pays the factor. The fee can be paid in any number of ways, but it usually nets out to be about three to five percent of the invoice value. Factoring is not a loan and does not show up on your balance sheet. It is the sale of an asset; therefore, you have no liability here.
To qualify for this factoring, your invoices have to be free and clear of any liens. This means that no other company has a claim on payments when they come in. Your customers must also be creditworthy. Why? – Because the factor will rely on their good credit and ability to pay the invoice quickly rather than on your credit history.
Learn how the factor deals with your clients during the collection process. Does he send out dunning notices with an indication that the factor is to be sent the payment? If the client does not pay your invoice, the factor may ask you to pay back the money he paid you on the invoice plus a fee – – something that is called recourse factoring.
If you decide that you want to seek out a factor, do your comparison shopping by looking at factor fees and the amount of the discount on your total invoices, a deposit or application fee, the advance rate and monthly minimums should also be considered. Factors will not work with start-ups; you need to have a large amount of accounts receivable for the factor to work with you. You can find factors in the telephone directory or in industry trade publications. Your banker may be able to refer you to a factor, but decide on a factor that knows your industry, can customize a service package for you, and has the financial resources you need.

New Samsung Cameras at CES 2013
Samsung's Smart Cameras Enable One-Step Sharing
Samsung's Smart Cameras Enable One-Step Sharing
Cameras aren't as simple as "point and click" anymore, according to Samsung's updated Smart Cameras with integrated WiFi, touch-type, and editing tools. Smart Camera 2.0 will run on Samsung's new WB250F/WB200F (14.2 MP, 18x zoom), WB800F (16.3 MP, 21x zoom), WB30F (16.2 MP, 10x zoom), DV150F (16.2MP, 5x zoom with front-facing display), and ST150F (16.2 MP, 5x zoom) camera models. Each camera is designed to work with the Smart Camera App, available for Android and iOS, for a seamless mobile photography experience.
The built-in Smart Camera software is based on a "One Click, Simplify" concept, which uses one motion to share images through the camera's WiFi connectivity. Camera and cloud work in tandem with features like AutoShare, which uploads images to a smartphone as soon as a photo is taken on the camera, or Direct Link, which is a hot key that can be set up to upload images to a custom destination.
We've rounded up Samsung's newest point-and-shoot cameras with WiFi sharing for plugged-in photogs. Take a peek, and tell us what you think about the superconnected Smart Cameras.

...Philosopher Mode: on
This thread is to address a phenomenon that I observed in the absence of Dialogue .
If valid threads and posts are attacked (NOT... simply questioned) they will be dismissed by others as bogus.
If this continues without closure the person on the receiving end has 7 options...
1) Continue to waste time and effort (aka "turn the other cheek").
2) Negotiate (aka "PM").
3) Preface (aka "the unwritten rules of engagement" see also http://www.dictionary.com/browse/context ).
4) Confrontation (aka... "calling out" and publically "facing your accuser").
5) Dissent (aka "speaking truth to power"... which is basically this forum section).
6) Do not post (aka "the chilling effect").
7) Vote with your feet (aka "customer feedback").
I speak for myself in pointing out this... the 1st option (a total dealbreaker) guarantees non-closure because it gives a "free pass"
which encourages more attacks ("trolling"). And the last 2 options (although perhaps satisfying) are not really productive.
IMO... the 2nd is effective because it takes away the "toy" (the audience). Critics fear this one. The 3rd (of course... when in context)
is effective @ least in taking away the other popular "toy" (the excuse) rendering the attacks (although not stopping them) moot.
The 5th option attempts to cast light on the possibility that the Emperor has no clothes.
And as has been often pointed out (by cooler heads that prevail)... the 4th one means everybody loses.
The way I see it... there is a place in public forums for disagreement.
However... disagreeable should always be a private affair (ie... "PM").

ROCHESTER — During tonight's City Council meeting, a presentation will take place regarding the East Rochester School building.
After a space needs study completed in October 2011, the school district's Building Committee is considering altering the school's building. The study showed insufficient parking areas, inadequate classroom acoustics, and student pickup interfering with community traffic patterns.
Also during tonight's meeting, the City Council will hear an update on the Great Bay Estuary Coalition's efforts to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing the strictest limit on the amount of nitrogen that can be discharged from local communities' wastewater treatment plants. While Rochester's plant discharges more than 20 milligrams per liter of nitrogen, the EPA has indicated that an upcoming permit would limit that amount to 3 milligrams per liter, which would require the city to make multimillion dollar upgrades to its wastewater treatment plant.
Also, the Department of Public Works will update the council tonight on the Strafford Square capital improvement project, designs for which are currently under way.
Tonight's meeting will begin with a public input session, and will end with a nonmeeting and a nonpublic meeting regarding land matters.
The meeting will take place at 7 p.m., in the council chambers at the City Hall.

These spring flowering clematis produce clusters of sweetly scented flowers. Their long narrow leaves are evergreen, leathery in texture and are similar to those of the common laurel. The Armandii Group prefer a sunny, free draining situation that is sheltered from the worst of the cold winds to enable them to perform well. If required, prune immediately after flowering.
Please do not grow these clematis in very windy situations, or soil which is prone to water-logging, as they will not appreciate it and will fail to thrive and possibly die. Instead, give them the shelter of a wall or sturdy fence and ensure the soil is free draining. Occasionally some leaves will die off through age, this is natural and they can be carefully cut away off.
Evergreen clematis have a natural dormant period which is around mid-summer when they look 'tired'.

Normally things with Gentoo are handled like this
emerge <package>
and you twiddle your thumbs while everything magically (or automatically) works.
It appears that the PCSX2 portage data is no longer maintained. This is a bit of an issue since I have 60 games and I would like to play a few.
So I said "all right I'll see what I need to do to compile it"
That is the part where, I get some very weird if not annoying messages that aren't very sensible
As I have a combined 32/64 bit environment and everything works it appears this is a bit convoluted. I use both 32 and 64 bit versions. It's weird because this is the first I've heard there was a problem? I've been compiling mixed variants of everything for a while so I don't get this.Code:CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:15 (message): PCSX2 does not support 64bits environment. Please install a 32bits chroot or a 32bits OS. PCSX2 have neither no plan to support the 64bits architecture in the future. It will need a complete rewrite of the core emulator and a lots of time However when linux distribution will support properly multi-arch package, it will be at least possible to easily compile and install PCSX2 witout too much hassle (the chroot environment) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Of course as I said NO ONE maintains the Gentoo portage version to 'fix' the issue. Hmm I'll have to force it to 32 bit but WHY do I need to run PCSX2 as root also? That makes little sense. I'm finding this a bit toward 'why?' Anyone actually have PCSX2 running under 32 bit linux, am I clueless or is something just weird with the R4600 and lower?

A couple weeks ago in the the Texas/Detroit game in which Detroit threw the flag on a scoring play and nullifying the review of a blown official's call in the which the player was clearly down. What if Detroit had not thrown the flag, but Texas would have thrown it? (Texas knowing that if the scoring play was reviewed it would be overturned and called back to where the player was tackled)
Detroit/Texas Review "Touchdown"

The same result. Texas would be flagged for challenging, (although it would never happen because the original call went their way) and the original call would stand
Posted 06 December 2012 - 05:27 PM
That is my point. If Detroit had not thrown the flag, the touchdown would have been overturned due to the review. My question is what would have happened if Texas had thrown the flag. They also knew the player was downed and that the play would be review, thus negating the score. They did not want the play review. So, if Texas throws the flag, the score stands since it cannot be reviewed. Is this correct?
Posted 06 December 2012 - 06:07 PM
The end result would be the same reguardless of who threw the flag, since the rule is that a thrown flag negates any possibility of a replay
Posted 16 January 2013 - 03:58 PM
Who is this Texas you guys speak of? No team in the NFL is called Texas. Either Dallas or Houston. I am guessing you mean the Houston TEXANS considering that is who Detroit played this year.

Choosing German Shepherd Puppy - How To Choose German Shepherd Dog
"How to choose German shepherd dog" is one of the most common questions that I have been facing since years. Choosing German Shepherd Dog can be as easy as A B C for someone, who has been keeping, breeding and rearing the German Shepherd Dog breed for years now. I mean to say, experience is the key! While choosing German Shepherd puppy, you need to look for certain things that many people usually miss out, and the result can be a real nightmare!
Make no haste! Sit back at home, and look for a good German Shepherd Dog breeder. Now, who is a good breeder? How can you find him? All I can say is that a good German Shepherd Dog breeder is the one who doesn't breed for money. Secondly, a good breeder breeds for quality and is known for the quality of puppies he breeds. Once you get a good German Shepherd Dog breeder, you need to look for the other criterion while choosing German Shepherd puppies. Remember, a breeder isn't anyone who owns a female dog who has litter! A breeder is the one who has a grip in the science of breeding… rather the art of it. Get an insightful information on caring German Shepherd puppies
Temperament is something very important. This is the one most important thing that makes a puppy fit or unfit for your family. It's only after a thorough evaluation of the litter as a whole that you can pick the right puppy. Don't let the cute playful faces choose you. Most of the first-time dog owners make mistakes by letting the puppies choose them, instead of the reverse. Mentally good puppies are friendly, trusting and curious. They won't stiff themselves when picked. They should approach you without hesitation, crawl into your lap and start chewing your fingers. A German Shepherd Dog with a sound temperament can make a sound companion.
See the parents of the litter. Evaluate the way they interact with each other when kept together. See how both of them interact with you as a stranger. Look the signs of the unwarranted aggression towards you. Remember adult German Shepherd Dogs have their own unique valor and should have the right degree of aggression. If they are over aggressive, it's a bad sign altogether. Over aggression and Shyness are both behavioral faults, which are genetically transferred on to the litter.
Structure and bones are next very important things to look for while choosing German Shepherd puppy. Notice your prospective puppy moving around carefully before paying for it. He should have the right German Shepherd topline, proper curve of stifle, and bones should be strong enough. The pics that I collected from the net, show the proper bones structure and pigmentation of a good German Shepherd puppy.
Puppy's lineage is another vital thing to look for, although its hard to determine it unless you're experienced in choosing German Shepherd Dogs. Remember a good litter is jus a result of a right combination of genes. If the breeder has good bloodlines, it doesn't mean he will produce a goods litter, because the best female can produce the worst puppies, if not mated to the right kind of male. If you are not good at determining blood lines, you need to bank on an experienced person.
General Criterion like other health issues are to be considered before picking up the puppy. Make sure, the puppies do not have skin rashes, ears free from matter, and they are energetic. The eyes should be clear. Avoid the puppy that has a running eyes or ears.
See the movement, while choosing German Shepherd puppies. Movement of a healthy German Shepherd puppy should be effortless and the puppies should be playful. Avoid picking the one who stays away from other litter mates.

juice, produce (they all have stickers, rubber bands, tags, etc)
What lifestyle change(s) might be necessary to reduce my plastic consumption?
make more of my own snacks (granola bars),
visit more farm markets, travel farther to grocery stores that carry plastic free alt.s
What one plastic item am I willing to give up or replace this week?
already replaced coffee with a paper bag (plus fresh ground is soooo much better) :)
Alcohol in glass only
What other conclusions, if any, can I draw?
plastic is everywhere!! like a previous person taking the challenge (erin in BC)it is somewhat sad to see all the plastic consumption around me while i spend time to not bring home that extra oz. of plastic.
but, i try not to feel like a drop in the ocean and instead try to feel like that 1st step in that journey of 1000 miles.

Children's Books that portray Nativity Sets - A Christmas Goodnight by Nola Buck; Mortimer's Christmas Manger by Karma Wilson
This week we are reading a couple picture books that portray nativity sets. Both books would make neat gift companions to a child's nativity set.
A Christmas Goodnight by Nola Buck, illustrated by Sarah Jane Wright. Katherine Tegen Books / HarperCollins (September 2011); ISBN 9780061664915; 24 pages
Book Source: Copy from our personal library
On a snowy Christmas Eve, a little child's family wishes baby Jesus and all the visitors to the manger goodnight, one by one. "Goodnight to the baby in the hay. Goodnight to the doves, coo coo. Goodnight to the sleepy mother. Goodnight to Joseph, too." The simple story, told in rhyming verse, helps introduce young children (toddlers and preschoolers) to the Biblical Christmas story and encourages them to name all those who played a part in witnessing the glorious birth.
Sarah Jane Wright's adorably cute illustrations put the past and present into prospective, first showing images of the holy family and visitors at Bethlehem and then switching focus to a present day family who lovingly place baby Jesus in their Nativity set manger before getting ready for bed on Christmas Eve. The last image on the copyright page shows only a swaddled baby Jesus, a nice touch alluding to the central focus of Christmas. My kids especially like to point out the stuffed animal lamb the child in the book holds while sleeping and the little church in the final landscape illustrations. Due to the simplicity of the text, the book is best for very young children.
A Goodnight Christmas is Sarah Jane Wright's first picture book. If you are not familiar with the illustrator, I recommend that you read some of the posts on her well-written blog: http://sarahjanestudios.com/blog/. She also sells all sort of lovely items in her online studio shop. She recently posted a couple of free downloadable activity packs to go along with her book:
A Christmas Goodnight Activity set [pdf] and Nativity Puppet Theater [pdf].
Mortimer's Christmas Manger by Karma Wilson, illustrated by Jane Chapman. Margaret K. McElderry Books / Simon & Schuster (October 2005); ISBN 9780689855115; 40 pages
Book Source: Copy from public library
A little mouse named Mortimer is unhappy with his dark, dismal home underneath the stairs. He sees a perfect little "house" set up near the Christmas tree. He makes himself at home and settles down to sleep on a bed of hay after pushing the statues out of the way. Unfortunately, day after day, when he is out and about, someone replaces the statues in the house. Eventually, on Christmas Eve, he learns more about the statues and Jesus, a baby "born to save the world." Mortimer makes room for Jesus, remarking, "There was no room for you in the inn. But I know where there is room." After praying, Mortimer discovers a suitable home for himself. Wilson's sweet story shows that everyone is important to God and focuses on the true story of Christmas, by spreading the word about the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Karma Wilson also paired together with Jane Chapman to create the popular "Bear" books, and the illustrations in Mortimer's Christmas Manger are similar in style, full of lovely details and warm scenes. Mortimer is such an adorable mouse; he couldn't possibly be any cuter! My kids especially like to remark on all the decorations pictured on the Christmas tree (some of which Mortimer knocks down while trying to reach the creche.) This is a longer, but well-told story that keeps a child's interest and helps teach about the birth of Jesus.

Looking for a book that portrays a live, outdoor nativity? Last year I featured Lauren Castillo's book, Christmas is Here on Brimful Curiosities. It's a beautifully illustrated version of the Biblical text, Luke 2:8-14. Click the link for my full review.
What other books featuring nativity sets do you recommend? We'd love to read more picture book stories like the ones above.
Other children's books including images of or mentioning nativity sets: (we have yet to read these titles)
The First Christmas Present by Marilyn Sommerer, illustrated by Johanna Van Der Sterre
Angela and the Baby Jesus: (Children's Edition) by Frank McCourt, illustrated by Raul Colon
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski, illustrated by P.J. Lynch

Did you know there's another Mortimer book? That one is about sunflowers. It's equally cute and compelling.

Great list! I know we've read the Mortimer book, but I don't think we've seen the others. We also really like the animated Christmas story - "The Very First Noel", with Andy Griffith narrating from the point of view of a wiseman. It starts out in a Nativity scene.

Thanks for this list! We will have to check out some of these books. Do you enjoy Sally Lloyd-Jones. I know that she has written a nativity book too which I haven't read yet but I'm sure is wonderful based on her other books. Thanks for linking up to The Children's Bookshelf too!
