In response to:
You don't choose skin color at birth. Show me the homosexual "gene" and we'll talk about it then. Otherwise its a sexual mental disorder just like zoophilia, pedophilia, and necrophilia.
Yes it is. The law before some states changed it applied equally to homo and heterosexuals. Neither one could legally marry an individual of the same sex.
So who else do you normally post as? And those 40% don't fight on the front line as infantry or armor. The recent proclaimation from the Pentagon changed that. You're also a moron if you believe that wars between nation states is finished. China? Russia? Hello? You'll still need boots on the ground. And to the one below. No he was not "boxed in" he was outside the perimiter and was found only after a private citizen went out to check his own property. The Carjacking victim and that guy did more to apprehend that scumbag than 10k police did.
I'd bet you be shocked to find out that quite a few of these assaults are woman on man wouldn't you? That is in fact the case, alarmingly so.
That is what I meant when I said, "...create a culture where the traditional pools of recruits no longer join and those already in leave as soon as possible." People who self identify with being Conservative/Christian are typically patriotic and form the bulk of the pool of people that the military recruits from. I also find it ironic to see so many people saying much of what I said last Friday, yet I came under attack by "supposed" former military for saying it. I even see some of those who attacked me chiming in today with their $.02 and aren't attacking anyone. Careful folks, there are scorpions among us.
I said it in another post last Friday the repeal of DADT, women in front line combat units, and the immigration "reform" bill are all directed at destroying the previous military culture. The goal is to create a culture where the traditional pools of recruits no longer join and those already in leave as soon as possible. The new military combat units will be made up of people who are part of identity groups, who self identify as something other than "American" first, it Mexican, Cuban, woman, or homosexual. The new military will not hesitate to act against Americans as they have no loyalty or can easily be manipulated by fabircated offenses against their identity groups. As has been demonstrated here, as soon as one member starts shooting they will all start shooting without even knowing who, what, or why they are shooting at. Look at Boston, no police ever said, "Whoa guys we are WAY out on a limb here violating these people's 4th amendment rights!" Instead it was pound on the door, shove an M4 or M-16 in the resident's face and drag them and all occupants into the street to be frisked and search the house. If you think the police and military will be on your side, you're in for a rude awakening.
Careful DG you're going to be labeled a mysoginist and arouse the ire of AmyDB and Nana82. I also find it ironic that we see usmcpgw chiming in with the crowd here as similar comments by myself in another article had him tossing personal attacks my way.
In response to:
Can we get some real studies on this rather than what amounts to "OMG!! It's Gen Mod!!!"
You folks got the liberal tactics down pat. You've been reading your Rules for Radicals, you've got a bright future in the Obama Administration. 1) confuse the issue - check. 2) drown out your opponents response and all real discussion - check 3) personal attacks - check So when you guys getting your checks from Soros and Moveon.org? Betcha Amy and Nana are Code Pink sleepers. So usmcpgw which one of those IRS guys line dancing are you? You guys probably got cushy IRS jobs for having served right, we all know how vets get preference for Fed jobs.
In response to:
Mentioned this one the other day. It's been around since 2010, maybe earlier.
Perhaps you all need to step back and do a little soul searching. You've been attacking someone who you most likely agree with on most things with very little attempt at rational discussion.

KinoL22/03/2014Redness & IrritationSensitiveCompare to calendula cream, this cream is lighter and with no color, but still can reduce the redness so well and keep my skin soothing over night. I think this texture is much suitable for spring and summer than calendula cream because it makes me feel less oily. good product! will probably buy again.

Why asset managers should ignore credit ratings
Jonathan F (a/k/a my boss) wonders whether Goldman's decision to ignore credit ratings when it comes to bond-investment mandates might not be counterproductive:
The problem with using market prices as a signal for any market action is that it tends to encourage herding by making any market movement self reinforcing. So if a company's spread widened (or its stock price fell) then investors would react, say by selling its paper, which would then presumably lead to a further credit downgrade. There was a credit agency (it belonged to one of the big ones) that adopted this approach and was blamed for some of the death spirals (or near death spirals) in bank equities in the autumn of 2002 (Commerzbank, etc).
What he's talking about is a move from the current system, where investors sell bonds which are downgraded to junk, to a new system where investors sell bonds with high credit spreads. Given the choice, the second one seems fairer to me — it means that companies aren't at the mercy of credit-rating agencies, especially near the crucial triple-B cusp, and it also makes it much easier for the ratings agencies to make that now-fateful downgrade into the Cs.
Taking a bigger-picture view, it can reasonably be said that the ratings agencies, to a good approximation, are basically just lagging indicators for the credit markets anyway. So if you're going to be exiting certain credits, better you do it sooner, when they gap out, rather than later, when they're finally downgraded.
It's also only a minority of corporate credits which really get actively damaged by wider spreads in any case: essentially, it's the levered companies with a lot of short-term debt needing to be rolled over in the near future. That includes all banks, of course, as well as quasi-banks like GE — but most corporates fund themselves with a mixture of long-term bonds and bank lines of credit, which aren't nearly as susceptible to market whims.
A move to judging credits based on their spreads rather than their ratings might also help put an end to ratings arbitrage, where companies try to issue debt not where it makes the most sense, necessarily, but rather where they can do so at the lowest cost without damaging their ratings. Essentially the ratings agencies become not a dispassionate observer of how creditworthy the issuer is, so much as a key constituency to be kept in mind when putting any kind of debt deal together. That's unhealthy, as we saw in the wake of the structured-credit boom. And it should come to an end in the corporate world, too.
But mostly fund managers should stop relying on ratings in any case. They're both in the business of judging credit: fund managers who outsource that business to a ratings agency are simply not doing their job. And their clients shouldn't ask that they do so.

The biggest change will occur when regulations are no longer based on holding AAA, though I'm not sure I see an alternative yet. You could argue rather convincingly that part of the reason for the current mess is the high demand for AAA rated securities. If we could find a better way to do that, we may not have seen as many AAA rate junk CDOs.
The problem too many investors have is that they simply don't have the resources to do all the needed credit analysis themselves. That's why they rely on third parties.
It's true credit ratings tend to lag, but it's also true they are much, much less volatile. And that's a big plus for many fund managers. If you believe market spreads are a better indicator of credit risk tha you also have to believe that credits jump from spec to investment grade and back again in just a few months.
Felix, the GSAM proposal is breathtakingly cretinous. The problem is not moving away from ratings (I'll come back to this), the problem is they are proposing using credit spreads (i.e. market prices) as indicators of riskiness. In other words, the lesson GSAM seem to have learned from the crisis is that markets are more informationally efficient than fundamental analysis. EMH is back! Pure genius.
Do these people know where sub-prime RMBS was trading in, say, 2006? Including on a relative-to-peers basis? I'm told credit spreads on structured paper turned to be a good predictor of true riskiness…
The guy in article says they would segment the market based on market prices and securities that are "the widest 20 percent are the most risky". This is so stupid, it's breathtaking.
Now, with regard to ratings. First of all, ratings are not a 'lagging indicator' as you say. There are studies out there comparing ratings with market-implied measures: ratings are a more accurate predictor of default over any horizon longer than a year. In other words, the market is only better at picking up near-default (i.e. the bleedingly obvious) with the agencies reluctant to consign companies to the dustbin of history before they really need to. Secondly, corporate and sovereign rating and structured ratings outside of the problematic mortgage & CDO space continue to perform well. However, no doubt things can be improved. The point is that fundamental analysis is still the only one to figure things out: GSAM seem to have discovered they can look up spread on a Bloomberg screen which is all well and good (and amazingly lazy intellectually) but hardly makes them financial Columbuses.
> fund managers who outsource that business to a ratings agency are simply not doing their job
On some level, neither are fund managers who outsource to the market as a whole. I don't think it's terrible to take account of ratings and spreads if they have information; ideally the fund managers would add extra information, but it's okay for them to take account of other people's analyses, too.
Problem was not the ratings, it was the regulators who required AAA ratings and then allowed the AAA to be put on anything.
If the regulators now require a spread less than X I\'m sure we can all come up with reasons why that is wrong.
Actually, using spreads as a proxy for credit risk would have been an improvement in the case of structured finance AAA's as well, since those always traded wider than single-credit AAA's. So if instead of having a regulatory regime which gave a preferential risk-weight treatment to AAA-rated securities, it had given a preferential risk-weight to, say, anything trading Libor-minus, that would have been a very different story. Certainly the structured finance AAA market could not have grown nearly like it did. There are some pro-cyclicality issues here (much like the Mark-To-Market rules debate), but still if you think the market is better at judging this risk than credit rating agencies, or you just don't like the idea of government-mandated, issuer-funded, heavily-conflicted arbiters of risk, this is probably a net plus.
The bigger issue is that ratings of any form (market or funadmental) are used to perpetuate the shell game of taking short term deposits to fund investment in illiquid assets (i.e. the maturity/liquidity mismatch game).

Fairy tales can have immense healing powers in a world that is both fantastic and terrible. Eowyn Ivey's charming debut novel, The Snow Child, wondrously parallels a Russian folk story with the trials and triumphs of rural life. Living amid the desolate backdrop of 1920s Alaska, central characters Jack and Mabel have fled to the faraway north after the birth of their stillborn child. They are settlers, fighting nature every season to survive not only the elements but also their depression.
The pristine snow blanketing the forest where they live is an obvious metaphor for the couple's repressed feelings about their loss. Their relationship is so fraught with tension, the atmosphere so drenched in unspoken grief, that their future is looking nothing short of grim. Mabel even contemplates her suicide in the novel's opening pages. Stoic Jack, meanwhile, observes how his wife had "settled into a grave melancholy that worried him."
An ever-widening chasm develops between the couple. With painful clarity, Ivey manages to convey the quiet despair of two people who are aware that their marriage is slowly falling apart and feel themselves powerless to save it. Unexpectedly, the magical first snow of the winter brings a lighter mood that sees the 50-year-olds playfully build a snow man in their yard. In this beautiful, violent place, things are rarely as they appear, and these homesteaders become convinced that their enchanted snowman transformed into a young girl overnight.
New adventures and hopes flurry around the couple as their relationship with the snow girl and each other deepens. Whether this is an example of "cabin fever" or a folie à deux, the power of imagination is real. A whimsical tale, The Snow Child takes readers on a mesmerizing journey through human resiliency and love.

A year ago, we knew very little about cornerback Casey Hayward, but it wasn't long before all of Packers Nation was hearing about the rookie. He was the player who didn't have superior numbers at the NFL Combine, but a guy who was much more than just a guy.
It started when he turned heads with cover skills and instincts that showed from day one of training camp. He was a player who made plays and seemed a good fit with the Packers defensive scheme.
He made the squad and bided his time until his break came. While he saw spot action during the early season, Hayward got more playing time as the season progressed. In all, he started seven games, but played in all 16, in addition to two playoff games. By the time the season came to an end, Hayward had picked off six passes, had 40 solo tackles, 13 assists, and 21 passes defensed. Even more impressive was the fact that when quarterbacks threw his way, they only managed a quarterback rating of 30.4.
Now with a season under his belt, there's no reason to think that Hayward isn't headed into his second season with high expectations. Though he will have to compete for a starting job, he's got to be the front-runner heading into training camp. No doubt Davon House will also compete for the job opposite Tramon Williams. Williams, in fact, may be one who will need to show some competitive spirit against the young players ready to take their next step forward.
I don't think there's anyone who isn't excited to see the Packers defense take the next step. After being battered by the 49ers in that final playoff game last January, it's time for redemption.
I see Hayward as playing a huge part in that effort.

Toronto Street Style: A Saga of Girl Crushes
Like Mona, I have had my share of girl crushes before, but have you ever had a family crush? You know, where you have had to think twice about breaking-up with an ex because you would have missed his/her kin? Melissa and I spotted Stefanie and her family (mother, father, aunt and uncle) taking a stroll on a hot Sunday afternoon in Toronto. We started chatting, and as it turns out, all are involved in the arts in one way or another - actors, interior designers, screenwriters.They were all very warm, the ladies very fashionable (sorry dad!) and also very supportive of our upcoming magazine, The Genteel!
Naturally, creative expression runs through Stefanie's veins – she studies fashion design, shuffling between Toronto and Paris to learn and develop her craft. She looked positively angelic in a radiant summer white dress, with a chic gamine cut to match! Her pop of colour a la clutch and scarf completed her look perfectly. Stefanie, I am looking forward to following your work!

Toronto Street Style: Striking Style Inspired by Unlikely Coupling
Make-up artist Ashley Lovsin is a photographer's dream - striking, stylish and a radiant spirit to boot. First, her hair. I have always appreciated a great short cut on a woman and looking at Ashley, how could one not appreciate it too? The cut highlights her features and captures her personality beautifully. She has done many variations of the short cut in the past, and this one in particular was inspired by an unlikely coupling. The side shave was inspired by talented Swedish pop star, Robyn ("doing amazing things these days!"), and the platinum white by the dignified elegance of ladies of a certain age. I love hearing from where people draw their style inspiration as it reminds me that inspiration can literally come from anywhere.
As for her outfit, Ashley's black could very well have been white. The combination of sheer materials and delicate details resulted in a feel that was far from somber, but rather sweet and light!
But, even Ashley, with her bold style, feels security with a little length on top of her head. I understand where Ashley is coming from, but I say to go with whatever she wants - her instincts are right on!

New York and Toronto Street Style: Summer Delicates
White on white is definitely a colour matching situation that is hard to pull off, at least in my books. Safer circumstances in which women can go full on white is typically in the summertime and even then you'd be hard pressed to find an outfit that does not look tacky. Not in this case, not even close. Both Angela and Irene look spectacular in white.
The linen shorts on Angela (above) and Irene are incredibly summer chic, and this is a measurable attribute, people. Amidst the scorching heat we seem to be enduring, these shirts and knitted shorts make their owners look breezy and comfortable next to their hot and bothered neighbours. The cool (pun intended) trick to both Angela and Irene's white outfits is they feel delicate, but their materials, which are made of heavier fibres, feel comfortable and practical at the same time. Notice how both their tops have longer sleeves! And the only glisten to be had is of the variety that seeps from their style. White, comfortable outfits are in full throttle here, and I need an encore.

New Mexico Has A Question
"An article on Friday about a fight in New Mexico over chile peppers that are grown outside the state yet are being sold as 'homegrown' referred incorrectly to the existence of an official state question. The state does indeed have such a question, having adopted it in 1996. (The reporter suggested that if the state were to adopt an official question, it no doubt would be: 'Red or green?,' as to which pepper is preferred. That is, in fact, the official question — about the state's official vegetable.)"

FORT WAYNE – On a chilly, overcast night, the Wayne boys track team won its first team title since 1996 Thursday at the Wayne Regional.
The host Generals had 80 points to slip past runner-up Carroll's 75. South Side was third with 52, and Homestead fourth with 49.
Coming into the meet, Wayne was ranked third in the state, ahead of fourth-place Carroll. Wayne also won North Side Relays and SAC titles this season.
It means a lot because it is something we haven't done (since 1996), Wayne coach Tom Hogan said. It is special, especially with the small team that we have and those guys battling. It is nothing that the school hasn't done before, but it has been such a long time since the school has done these things.
Carrington Robinson was involved in both wins for the Generals, in the long jump (22 feet, 6 inches) and the 1,600 relay (3:26.78). Robinson was also second in the high jump.
Wayne, though, had plenty of solid finishes, including Shamarcus Ford's second in the 100 and 400 and Devon Stone's runner-up finishes in the 110 and 300 hurdles. Ford, Stone and Lucas McCoy ran with Robinson on the winning 1,600 relay team, the last event.
At last week's Wayne Sectional, the Generals were second to Homestead, 151-136.
They just scored points wherever we had to, Hogan said. They did a team thing. They were so disappointed after not winning the sectional. I told them they had next week, and I said two months ago we were a better regional team than we were a sectional team. They proved me right.
Carroll was second behind wins from Alex Hess in the 1,600 (4:20.82) and 3,200 relay (7:55.96), an event where the Chargers are the defending state champions.
I came in with the wind coming down the backstretch, and I wanted to sit and kick type deal, Hess said of winning the 1,600. It ended up playing into my favor and ended with a positive result.
Teammate Jonathan Harper was first in the 800 (1:55.95) and the 3,200 relay.
That's what we wanted to do coming into the meet, we wanted to see how fast we could do and see if we could make the fast heats at the state meet, Harper said of the 800 and 3,200 relay. We have a good shot of doing it. Our coaches have done a good job of getting us ready for the big meets, so we definitely expected to do well.
Eric Claxton was also part of the 3,200 relay and made it a 1-2 finish in the 800, just behind Harper.
It all adds up, and we had a great team effort, said Claxton, who suffered a twisted ankle the day before in practice.
South Side's Shaton Harris was the only athlete to win two individual events, getting first in the 100 (10.80) and 200 (22.40).
I was seeded first, so I thought I would just go out there and win, Harris said. I go into next week thinking I am going to win state, and then during the week train harder, get more sleep and eat well and get ready for state.
Also winning events were North Side's Tyvon Kelly (400, 49.93) and Russell Collins (discus, 152-6), Concordia's Jacob Reinking (3,200, 9:27.96), South Side's Adrian Mable (110 hurdles, 14.02), Homestead's Trevor Stanley (38.98), Bishop Luers (400 relay, 43.19), Bishop Dwenger's Jared Schipper (pole vault, 16-0), Churubusco's Austin McClure (shot put, 51-9) and Blackford's Trace Oswalt (high jump, 6-4 ¾ ).

TRB Special Report 219 - Pipelines and Public Safety examines issues asociated with development near pipeline rights-of-way.
Pipelines provide a vital transportation service. Approximately half of the nation s supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and virtually all of its natural gas supplies are transported through a network of 1.7 million miles of pipelines.
The materials carried by pipelines are flammable, explosive, or toxic, which means that pipelines pose a danger to people and property should their failure result in release of these materials to the environment. The development of residences, workplaces, and shopping areas near once-isolated transmission pipelines, which carry gas and liquids at high pressure from producing areas to refineries or distribution networks, threatens to increase the risk of pipeline failure due to inadvertent excavation damage. Historically, such excavations have been a major cause of pipeline accidents. Accidents in the future could also be more severe because new development has exposed more people and property to risk in the event of a failure.
The committee that developed this report recommended collaboration on damage prevention and public awareness programs, land use measures, and emergency preparedness programs. The committee stopped short of recommending specific development setbacks that would provide more uniform land use control across the nation. Instead, it pointed out a number of procedural changes in land development review and regulation that would reduce the risk of inadvertent damage. Although more uniform public policies on land use near pipelines might be desirable, differences in local conditions argue against establishing definitive standards or limits on specific land uses near pipeline rights-of-way.

Looking for FRESH pita
We just moved from the middle east to NoVA, and I'm having a nightmare of a time finding fresh pita. I've been to Lebanese Taverna but the pre-packaged pita is borderline stale to me. I'm not expecting hot, right out of the oven pita, but I would like something decent. I've looked in all the supermarkets to no avail. Can anyone help? I'm also looking for decent tahina, zattar, etc but I can order those online if need be, or I can go to NY.
Thanks for helping a newcomer.
re: littlew1ng
That's The Perfect Pita, a sandwich and "pizza" shop. I suspect that they use pita from their own local bakery, not baked on the spot in the store. It's available packaged at Whole Foods.
oh and also, at mourayo in dupont circle, very good fresh-baked pita. at cafe 8 in eastern market they have homemade ekmek which is similar to pita, at least to me, and it is very good, although the rest of their food isn't outstanding, it's all good for the price.
re: weezycom
You can expect "hot, right out of the oven" pita at the Mediterranean Bakery, it comes out every hour or so. Their hummous is the best in the area. They have everything else you can expect from a top notch Lebanese goods supplier including fresh almonds when in season.
I know that Yekta market in Rockville has lots of fresh flat breads, although I remember mostly Afghani type stuff. They probably have some of the other items you're looking for as well.
re: comestibles
I've had great pita (and chicken kebobs) at Moby Dick....
re: crystalginger
They don't have pita at Ravi Kebab, just naan. In Baltimore, Egyptian Pizza is the only place I can find good fresh pita. There are a lot of Egyptian Pizza clones around here. Maybe there are some clones in D.C., too. The kebab places have more naan-like bread. Good fresh pita is something I always crave, but it's so hard find.
the best local pita i've bought was found by my lebanese law partner in vienna. there is a small lebanese grocery and the owner bakes the bread there, and you can even get it while it is still warm from the oven. ooooh, it is good.
it is in a unit in a light-industrial complex (long white building, where you have to walk up steps to reach the landing which runs the length of the entire building (so trucks can easily load). i'm guessing that it is no more than a half-mile off of the main drag (maple avenue/123) on the right side of mill street n.e., just a little way after you cross over church street.
i am not *certain* it is still there, but it is worth a look -- for super-fresh pita.
for zataar, go to lebanese taverna market at intersection where lorcom lane enters lee hwy/rte. 29 in north arlington. they have a good little grocery for all kinds of middle eastern foodstuffs. takeout, too, and lebanese cookbooks and an olive bar. http://www.lebanesetaverna.com/market/ their "toum" garlic paste is so fabulous with a marinated roast chicken, along with the turnip pickles.
<by the way, one of the best pastries shops in northern virginia is close-by to lebanese taverna market, "pastries by randolph" -- get their croissants, or the coffee cake thingy with the almond paste -- swoon! http://www.pastriesbyrandolph.com/
next to that is a good wine shop "arrowine" http://www.arrowine.com/ with excellent cheese selection, and wine and cheese tastings. get on their email mailing list
just up the way on lee hwy is A-1 indian grocery (across from the mcdonald's between glebe and george mason drive http://www.yelp.com/biz/india-a-1-gro... , and a little further, the heidelberg bakery -- good german breads and cook cakes. http://washingtondc.menupages.com/res... >.
getting back to lebanese-mid-eastern grocery items, there is also "gourmet basket" in mclean for mid-eastern food, coffee, rakwi (?) coffee pots, fresh cheeses, near the total wine store. superb vegetarian kibbeh, too (made with pumpkin around a pomegranate and walnut filling). they also do catering. http://www.lebanesegourmetbasket.com/...
re: alkapal
the lebanese place in vienna baking great pita is now selling it at places all around nova. i just got some at lebanese taverna takeout @ lorcom & lee hwy. it is from "the wooden bakery."
much, much nicer than that from "king of pita."
Of the pitas in local supermarkets, the big local commercial baker is King of Pita, 6460C General Green Way, Alexandria - kingofpita.com
I'm sure you can get hot-from-the-oven pita there, and if I recall correctly they also bake their own at Mediterranean Bakery mentioned by another poster here (the two bakeries are very close to each other).
Mediterranean will probably also have the tahina, zatar and other things you are looking for.
Supermarket selections vary from location to location, but I found packaged lebne, and reasonably priced tahina, at Shoppers Food Warehouse at 7 Corners. They keep their Hispanic, Asian and Middle Eastern foods together in a single large section.
VIENNA -- ali-baba bakery.
the name of the bakery in vienna that i mentioned upthread is ali-baba bakery at 303B mill street. it doesn't have a long warehouse style-landing (as i had thought), but steps up to its door.
just went yesterday, and boy is the pita nice. the owner is friendly and helpful.
i also bought a new product for me, preserved pistachios. i can't wait to try it. also another new product (to me): freekeh. it is a roasted "green" wheat product http://www.ishopindian.com/shop/ziyad... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freekeh
i want to make it soon -- like a pilaf. i also bought some date molasses.
he sells kibbeh balls in the freezer, cooked and uncooked. he has iraqi (flat) kibbeh-bread combo. his baklava is quite good, and is very, very reasonable. i didn't buy any meat or spinach pies yesterday, but they looked good -- and were a nice size.
stop in; he has good prices and many interesting mid-eastern products. beans, tahini, legumes, spices, zataar, sumac, preserved rose petals, all sorts of exotic preserves, coconut oil (people buy it for their hair, but it is food grade), honeys ..... hookahs, tea glasses, etc.
re: alkapal
To add to alkapal's review above, I DID try some of the meat and spinach pies from Ali-baba, and would HIGHLY recommend them! The beef pies have the usual herbs, spices, and pine nuts all tucked into an excellent little square wrap...for 85 cents/each. Same deal with the spinach pies: inexpensive, excellent bread/wrap, and well-seasoned. I prefer my pies with feta, which Ali-baba only does for special orders. No worries though, I just added some of my own when I heated them up at home.
Another must-have: the falafal that Ali-baba makes fresh, then freezes. It reheats in the micro in seconds and somehow retains that crispy outside but moist inside despite the fact that it was frozen. YUM!
Final recommendation: the Armenian string cheese. This is NOT something made in-house, but is FANTASTIC nonetheless! It's nothing like that plastic string cheese found in American grocery stores. This stuff is flecked with nigella seeds (look like black sesame seeds) and packs a much more powerful punch when it comes to taste.
I plan to stop by Ali-baba's again next Saturday, (one of the days that he bakes fresh pita). If I've cycled enough to warrant a 'treat', I'm going for some of his baklava as well. Will report back! Meanwhile, this place is definitely worth stopping by: 303B Mill Street, Vienna, VA. Enjoy!
re: Victoria667
very cool, victoria, i've gotta get back for some of the spinach pies and meat pies and falafel! and so glad you liked it. he's a very nice guy, too!
btw, his pita stays soft for days, but i don't think it has additives at all. i was quite surprised, in fact.
re: alkapal
now this place is selling pita around under the name "wooden bakery." i wonder if the ali-baba was bought out and changed names?
re: alkapal
Mount of Olives in Baileys Crossroads...they don't have fresh pita? Isn't there another place in the same shopping centre that might?
re: BuildingMyBento
i am not shopping in that area typically, so i don't know about bailey's-area pita.
I also recommend the Mediterranean Bakery on Pickett St -- make sure you pick up one of their fresh bags of pita. Another great spot that used to sell bags of their pitas is Atillas on Columbia Pike in Arlington -- see www.atillasrestaurant.com. You have to ask -- they don't list the pitas for sale on their menu.
I know lots of Middle Eastern restaurants that make their own flat bread. The big problem is that fresh bread (with no preservatives) gets tough in a couple of hours.
I used to visit this business in Alexandria - King of Pita. It's located in an industrial park off I-395. I believe their business is manufacturering wholesale Pita for local distribution. They also had a fairly nice Middle Eastern grocery store. They might be a solution for you.
Mamma's Kitchen in Alexandria, off of Route 1 has excellent freshly-baked pita (sometimes still warm!) out of their wood-fired oven. Food there is very good, specializing in Mediterranean. A welcome break from all the chains in the area.

Maersk Line
Maersk Line increases business while reducing CO2 footprint
Maersk Line today published its Sustainability Progress Update for 2013, showing a 3.8 million tonnes CO2 reduction in a year where the business grew 4.1%. "2013 was a good year for Maersk Line – financially as well as in terms of our sustainability performance" says Søren Skou, CEO of Maersk Line. "Our fuel efficiency improvements helped cut CO2 as well as air pollutants like SOx and NOx. So even while our business grew, we were able to reduce our environmental impact in absolute terms." In 2013, Maersk Line took delivery of the first four of 20 Triple-E vessels. These vessels will set a new standard for energy efficiency. However, the main driver for the strong CO2 performance was the major overhaul of Maersk Line's network. One of the challenges outlined in the Sustainability Progress Update is the tightening regulation of sulphur emissions (SOx) that will require ships sailing in so-called Emission Control Areas to switch to cleaner and thus more expensive fuels from January 2015. "Air emissions are a serious issue in shipping and we support the upcoming regulation. We are, however, concerned about the level of enforcement in Europe. The new regulation will be costly and without proper enforcement, some might be tempted to cut corners
Maersk, Horizon End TP1 Slot Charter Agreement
The slot charter agreement between Horizon Lines and Maersk Line on the Trans-Pacific 1 (TP1) service will cease in December 2010. This weekly service currently calls Yantian, Xiamen, Kaohsiuing, Los Angeles, Oakland, Honolulu and Guam. Horizon Lines operates five vessels in this service. Maersk Line has been utilizing the entire 1100 FFE capacity eastbound, and uses a small amount of space on the westbound rotation. Empty westbound Maersk Line containers are utilized by Horizon Lines for
Hamburg Süd, Maersk Line, and NYK Announce Joint Operations
Hamburg Süd, Maersk Line, and NYK announced that they have reached agreement to operate jointly in the trade between Asia, South Africa, and South America. From mid April, the linew will replace the current three strings (one operated by Maersk Line and two operated by Hamburg Süd and NYK) by two strings with modern and fast vessels. The overall capacity produced by the new two string system is roughly the same as the capacity presently provided by the three Lines
As part of Maersk Line's drive to cut sulphur emissions from its fleet towards zero, the shipping line continues to expand on its fuel-switch implementations. Today the programme is implemented in New Zealand. Switching from bunker to low-sulphur fuel in New Zealand reduces sulphur to the air by 80-95% in port. The reduction is in this case nine-fold. As a first in the industry, Maersk Line applies its fuel switch programme to a country
China Strikes Down P3 Network

P3 Network Not to be Implemented in China
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) yesterday announced that they have not approved the P3 Network (P3). P3 was a long-term operational vessel sharing agreement proposed by MSC, CMA CGM, and Maersk Line. The MOFCOM's decision follows a review under China's merger control rules. The P3 partners take note of and respect MOFCOM's decision. Subsequently, the partners have agreed to stop the preparatory work on the P3 Network and the P3 Network as initially planned will not
Maersk Line Optimizes Pacific Services
Exporters and importers on the Pacific trades stand to benefit from Maersk Line's review of its global shipping network, according to Maersk Line's Senior Vice President, Robert Kledal. The review of Maersk Line's Transpacific services (TP) will result in a number of improvements and the phasing out of two strings. The resulting network will provide optimum port coverage in the region, better connections to growing markets and efficient and cost effective transportation solutions to
Maersk Chooses DCT Gdansk
Maersk Line announced that with effect from December 1, it will switch its Polish operations from BCT in to the new deepwater container terminal DCT Gdansk. Maersk Line said: "After many years of good cooperation with BCT Gdynia, the time has come to explore new possibilities with DCT Gdansk, allowing Maersk Line to continue to offer its customers a reliable product while maintaining a high level of efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Intransa announces widespread participation in IP storage certification program
Dozens of physical security vendors earn "Security-Grade IP Video Storage Certified†designation
"With the Security-Grade IP Video Storage Certification program, Intransa took the bold step of funding an extensive laboratory environment to reduce customer risk in integrating IP-based technology for physical security, video surveillance, quality assurance and supply chain surveillance, process control, industrial video and related markets,†said Jeff Whitney, vice president of marketing for Intransa . "By opening this program to a wide range of the physical security community, the adoption of IP-based storage technology has accelerated in the market.â€

Rated 5 out of 5 by Admcg Super Soft Snuggly Pillow This pillow is very soft and bouncy, I am pleased it isn't too high as I didn't want my baby to notice a massive difference from sleeping without a pillow. She loves it and has slept soundly since. I also liked the added bonus of it being washable and anti-allergy and Asda was the cheapest after searching the internet for this particular pillow. 15 February 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEng Excellent Toddler's first pillow I bought this for my 16 month old daughter as I felt she now needed a pillow for her cotbed. This product is perfect as a first pillow as it's not too high and is very soft. My daughter loves it and it's also encouraging her to stay at the same end of the bed during the night instead of ending up at the opposite end of the bed in the morning!! Would highly recommend this for parents looking for a first pillow. 26 August 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Claire321 Good Quality and Value Bought this for my little girl's cotbed, really pleased with it. Good size, good value for money, and my daughter sleeps really well with it. 03 October 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blondiebob my daughter loves it my 2 yr old's 1st pillow- she loves it what more can i say?!! 30 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mumto1and1onway Good product, reasonable price. I intended to buy the Little Angel version fo this as it was cheaper but as there were non in stock when i needed it I bought this one and am very pleased. Still a reasonble price for quality of item, my son loves his first pillow. Perfect size for his cotbed/toddler bed. 31 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrJones Perfect for a weary head Bought 2 of these, the little one loves it and won't sleep without a pillow since using it. Took to it quickly, as its not too high - just about the right height. Would buy again, no problem! 10 August 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Monkeywife Moldy The pillows arrived moldy. 07 May 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ditsybabe9 Disappointing :-( This pillow seemed fine but it said wash before use, This I did according to washing instructions and was disappointed to find it had 'lumped up' when it came out of the washer and I had to try and pull the filling around to make it look 'pillow shaped'. Fortunately it is only for occasional use but I would look for a better quality one another time. 12 December 2012

The Packers don't need this. This is a team that emphasizes the "team" concept more than any other.
That's why Jermichael Finley's comments this week were so disconcerting. In fact, it's time for him to simply shut it down and get in line.
Being double teamed by the Broncos left the opportunities for other receivers and Finley has to understand that Aaron Rodgers isn't going to force the ball to him if he's not open.
Here's what Finley had to say: "Double-teams. That's something that we have to go back and look at and create ways to get (me) the ball, somehow."
"We'll have to go back, not being selfish or nothing, but go back and dial up something so you can get your playmaker the ball in games like that when it's close."
Excuse me, but the Packers have plenty of playmakers, including Finley. However, if he's double teamed, Rodgers will go elsewhere.
That's a fact of life and Finley needs to get that.
If he doesn't, there are four other tight ends on the roster who would love the shot to be on the field … Double teams or not.
