As I was walking through my new neighborhood in Ankara I turned on my voice memos and got something down that I've put up on Medium. Hoping for an audio file to follow shortly. Enjoy!
A couple of weeks ago I made the decision to publish something I had started writing a month prior, in the wake of the third bombing here in Ankara within six months. Wanting to balance my professional concerns with my urge to speak my mind, I decided to publish it because of my convictions about the piece.
It discusses both the basic context of each of the bombings, as well as the impact medias have on the mediation and discussion of such events in the United States.
The article is called, "What Terrorism Coverage Has To Do With Terrorism- Notes From Ankara A Month On," and if you haven't had the chance to read it yet, please feel free to click through to my new Medium page and check it out!
I was given the opportunity to speak at a symposium organized by the International Relations Department Student Organization at my host university two weeks ago. Though very excited for the chance to talk about women's status, I was more than a little intimidated at the prospect of doing so in Turkish. I wrote an original draft in English, then translated it into the best Turkish I could muster. Later, I sat for hours with a dedicated and diligent group of friends who helped me work the draft into a more professional and academic register, which was the resulting speech below. Clearly, I was struggling a little bit with the pronunciation in that more academic register (so many suffixes!) but I hope my audience was able to take something away from the talk. Because of the time restraints and the language barrier, my ideas are of course less fully formed and explicated in this presentation than in real life, but "what can I do sometimes?," as my students would say. In an event, a transcript in Turkish and my intended messaging in English is below.
Ortadoğu Kadınlardaki Statüsü: Gözlemler ve Engeller
Saygıdeğer öğretim üyesi arkadaşlarım değerli Kirikkale Üniversitei öğrencileri ve değeri misafir öğrencilerimiz- Yapacağım konuşma dünya üzerindeki kadınların statüsüne değinmek olacak,ve bu konulara değinirken istatistiksel verilerden ve hikayelerden çok gerçeklerden yola çıkacağım. Fakat, Ortadoğu'da yaşayan kadınlardan bahsedilmek istendiğinde nasil bahsedilebilir? Bu önemli bir sorudur. Ben Amerikan vatandaşıyım ve yaşadığım ülkedeki akademisyen arkadaşlarımla büyük bir mücadele içindeyiz. Politikacılar ve güçlü medya firmaları Amerikalılar'ın ortadoğu bölgesi ve İslam dünyası hakkinda çok az bilgiye sahip olduklarının farkındalar. Ayrıca onlar da bu konu hakkinda çok eksik bilgiye sahipler. Politikacılar ve medya birlikte çalişiyorlar. "Ortadoğudaki kadınlar mazlum, bağımlı" diye anlatıyorlar. "Zavallı kadınlar için uğraşacağız" diyorlar. Fakat sonra ne yapiyorlar? Savaşıyorlar, aynı zamanda diğer ülkere yaptırım gücü uygulatıyorlar. Bütün bunları yaptıktan sonra kadınların artik daha güvende olacaklarını, daha özgür olacaklarını, daha eğitimli olacaklarını ve daha rahat yaşayacaklarını idda ediyorlar. Amerikan halkı da aynı şeye inaniyor; fakat ben onlar gibi düşünmüyorum ve böyle bir vaatte bulunmayacağım. Çünkü; Hiçbirşey o kadar da basit değildir.
Dünyanın hiç bir yerindeki kadınlar ayrı koşullarda yaşamiyor. Sadece bir mahallede bile bu durum çeşitlilik gösterebilir. Yaşamları, maaşları, okuryazarlık durumları ve eğitim düzeyleri, medeni durumları, dinleri…. Aynı zamanda çevre faktörleri var. Köyde mi yoksa şehirde mi yaşıyor bu kadınlar? Isınma imkanlari, içme suları var mı? Bunlar çok önemli sorunlardır. Bu konu milletlerden ve mezheplerden daha önemli olabilir. Amerika'da yaşayan köylü bir kadınla kentli bir kadın,Türkiye'deki köylü bir kadınla kentli bir kadının ortak noktaları olabilir.
Zamanım kısıtlı olduğu için genel bir konuşma yapacağım. Şu konular üzerinde duracağım: şiddet ve savaş, eğitim, ve kadınların siyasi faaliyetleri.
Üzerinde konuşmak istediğim ilk konu şiddet. Şiddet birçok farklı türde olabilir; yapısal şiddet, ekonomik şiddet, duygusal şiddet… Bu şiddet türleri üzerinde tartışıp değerlendirme yapmamız çok önemli ama bugün ne yazıkki konumuzun odağı, bölgede kadınlara uygulanan, fiziksel şiddet. Suriye Irak ve Filistin şu anki açık örnekler. Suriye'de yedi binden fazla kadın şu anki savaş yüzünden öldü. Filistin'deki kadınlar çok kötü durumda yaşıyorlar. Bir askeri işgal altında yaşıyorlar,Gazze'de kuşatma altındalar ve sık sık şiddet görüyorlar. İnsanlar Gazze'nin açık hava hapishanesi gibi olduğunu söylüyorlar. Irak'taki kadınların durumu muhtemelen üçünün arasında en kötü olanı. 30 yıldır sürekli savaş ve işgal yaşadılar. Evrensel insan hakları bildirgesi şunu söyler: En önemli hakkımız yaşama hakkıdır. Eğer bu hak saygı görmüyorsa(bu hak tehdit ediliyorsa, eğer güvende değilseniz) diğer insan hakları korunamaz.
İkinci bir konumuz da eğitimdir. Eğitim için açılan sınıfların, kadınlarımızın mücadelesi açısından çok önemli bir yere sahip olacağına inaniyorum. Buna bir örnek olarak; Türkiye'deki kadınlarımızın bir çoğunun, eğitim seviyelerinin çok kısıtlı olması gösterilebilir. Bir çoğumuzun çevresinde bu tür kadınlarımız var öyle değil mi? Eğitimin eksik olduğu bir ortamda kadınsal değerlerin de arka plana atıldığını birliriz.Buna Türkiye bir örnekti sadece, fakat bunun yanısıra Irak, Süriye, ve Filistindeki okulların saldırıya uğraması, Ürdün ve Lübnan'da da eğitimin popüler olduğu halde pahalı olması, çoğu yerde de ataerkil yapının hakim olması, gibi konular da kadınlarımızın ikinci plana atılmasına sebep olarak gösterilebilir.demem o ki kadınlarımızın toplumda yer edenebilmesi, eğitimlerinin önünün açilması ve onların da söz sahibi olabilmesi için onlara her türlü firsatın verilmesi lazimdir.
Bugün Üçüncü ve son konum kadınların siyaset ve sivil toplum katılımcılığı . Geçen hafta birleşmiş Milletler'de uluslararası kadınler konferansı yüzüncü yildönümü kutlandı ve bu yüzden bu konu Değılmek istedim. Kadın politikacilarimizdan çok örneğimiz var.mesela, Türkiyede bir dönem başbakan olarak Tansu Çiler vardı, fakat ABD'de, kadın olarak başkanı çıkmadı. ABD'de kongre üyesi olarak kadın oranı yüz'de ondokuzdur. Türkiye'de meclis üyesi olarak kadın oranı yüzde ondörtdür. Bana göre, kadınların siyasi ortamdaki yuzdelik oranının dahada artması, kadınların statülerini yukselticektir. Biz kadınlar için Filistinli kadınlar örnek olmalı çünkü orada devlet sistemi olmadığı halde kadınların siyaste atılım oranları çok yuksektir, bunlara örnek olarak Hanan Ashrawi, Leila Khaled, ve Haneen Zoabi verilebilir. Bunun yanısıra ortadoğu bölgesinde çok aktif politikacı kadınlar da var; sivil toplum kurumlarında çalişip ve yeni kurumların açilmasında öncülük ediyorlar.
Netice olarak kadınlarımızın statüsünün yukselmesi için başta şiddetsiz bir ortamın sağlanması ve eğitim düzeyinin yükseltilmesi gerekir. Bana yardimcı olan arkadaşlarım Sena, Kaan, ve Gülçin'a ve siz dinleyenlere teşekkür ederim.
Women's Status in the Middle East: Observations and Obstacles One of the most important things I have to say to you today is not a statistic or a story, but concerns the way we go about talking about the role of women in Middle Eastern societies in general. Where I come from in the United States academics are fighting a difficult battle to allow rays of insight to shoot through a bleak media and political landscape, one that capitalizes on the ignorance of policy makers and the public alike; one that allegedly seeks to empathize with and then liberate via occupation Muslim and middle eastern women who, we are led to believe, are oppressed, without agency, and without a voice. I do not intend to fall into that narrative today.
But no picture is ever as straightforward as either media nor politicians would have us believe. In every place, in every nation, the lives of women cannot be discussed as a monolith. Even within a single neighborhood, there may be numerous fractures in lived experience, such as age, education level, marital status, income or family earnings, literacy, health, religion, as well as numerous environmental factors. Is the space urban or rural? Is there access to clean water and other crucial utilities? These are important questions, the answers to which often shape the lives of women far more significantly than nationality or country of residence. Indeed, the values and lived experiences of relatively uneducated women in the rural United States and Turkey may be far more similar than either would expect. For women in opposite circumstances, the same may be true as well.
So rather than itemize the detailed statistics of women in each of the countries I'll be touching on today I am instead going to draw out a couple themes and provide examples within those themes. Because time is short, I apologize, I will be speaking quite generally.
The first theme I want to speak on is that of violence. Violence can take many forms; there is structural violence, economic violence, emotional violence… These forms of violence are very important for us to discuss and critique but today, unfortunately, my focus is on physical violence, which is inflicted on women around the region. Unfortunately, Syria Iraq and Palestine are the current obvious examples. In Syria more than seven thousand women have died due to the current war. Women in Palestine live in a very bad situation. They live under a military occupation and in Gaza they are under siege and experience frequent violence. People say Gaza is like an open air prison. The situation for women in Iraq is possibly the worst of the three. They have had 30 years of continuous war and occupation. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights says that the most important of our rights is the right to live. If this isn't honored ( if that right is threatened, if you are not safe) the other human rights can't be protected.
The second theme I want to discuss is education. The classroom is a very important place for the fight for women to unfold. Without education women are without the tools they need to improve their lives and their status. As an example, we can look to the situation of the women in our lives here in Turkey where, too often, especially in the past, their educations have been cut short. There are some obstacles to education. One of the biggest in the region is violence, as we discussed before. While literacy rates across the region are generally higher than they've been in the past, the education of millions of women has been disrupted in places like Iraq and Syria. Schools in Gaza and Syria have been under attack, making getting an education very difficult. In other places like Lebanon or Jordan, private education is both highly valued and prohibitively expensive. Patriarchy remains one of the biggest obstacles to education access. With access to safe, affordable, equitable education, women are better able to take their destinies into their own hands. Education for all is not a privilege, but a right.
This brings us to my third and final topic, which is women's participation in politics and civil society. It is fitting that last week was the 100th anniversary celebration of the international women's conference at the UN. There are many important examples of women serving in political offices across the Middle East. A point of important comparison/contrast between Turkey and the United States is political participation and empowerment. For example, Turkey has had a female prime minister (Tansu Ciler), but the US hasn't had a female president yet. In Turkey, 14% of members of parliament are female, in the United States that rate is 19%. My view is that by actively participating in the socio-political process, women are able to make the changes our societies so badly need.We can look to the women of Palestine as an example, where, though stateless, they play important roles in aspect of Palestinian civil society and political life, for example Hanan Ashrawi, Leila AbuKhaled, and Haneen Zoabi. This is also the case in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon where I have personally met women fighting for rights, representation, and a decent life.
We can conclude by saying that while the situation for some women in the Middle East is very positive, too many still live under threat of violence and without access to safe education. Despite obstacles, women across the region work in powerful positions and in grassroots movements to affect change in their communities. If we know one thing, it is that as long as violence persists, the status of women, and indeed of all people, cannot improve. The cessation of violence is the first and most crucial step on the road to the betterment of women's status in the Middle East, and indeed, across the whole world.
To celebrate Thanksgiving 2014 I visited the central-eastern Turkish city of Tokat, joining a group of Fulbrighters for a potluck dinner. While in Tokat I was able to spend some time sightseeing in the city center while spending plenty of time in fellowship (pun intended) with my fellow grantees and our Turkish guests.
Before I elaborate on some of the sights I was able to visit while in Tokat, I must address a very Fulbrihgt-esque pun, which is the title of this post and was the name of our celebration. As previous posts have suggested, we Turkey Fulbright ETA's particularly enjoy combining the names of holidays and the cities in which we celebrate them. Tokatsgiving was no exception, but is in fact an exceptional instance of this type of word-play. Why?
Part of our dual role as English as a Foreign Language instructors and 'cultural ambassadors' includes sharing English-speaking countries holidays and cultural traditions with our students, Thanksgiving being a particularly easy and fun opportunity. Many of us have included the instant-classic 'Slapsgiving' episode of How I Met Your Mother (a series which for some reason is wildly popular among young Turks) in our lesson plans. Incidentally, in addition to being the name of a city, 'tokat' in Turkish is the word for slapping someone. A better holiday-locale combo has never been accomplished…..
In any event, I was blown away by the rich history still visible as we "gezmeked" (my Turklish version of 'wandered') the streets and sights of Tokat.
Our trip began as any good weekend rendezvous does, with a long and big Turkish breakfast (kahvalti) in a beautifully restored Ottoman era home.
We toured an old Ottoman-era home turned museum (free of charge) which explained life for upper class central Anatolian families. The house itself was allegedly designed by a famous Armenian architect.
From the gardens of the restored Tokat Mevlevihane, you can see the city's stone clock tower. As is generally the case, exploring the Mevlevihane turned museum was a major highlight of my trip.
The complex has been stunningly restored and, much like the museums in Konya and the Galata district of Istanbul, contained a vast display of manuscripts, daily life objects, musical instruments, physical manifestations of ritual practice like tesbih or prayer beads, clothing, artwork, and especially here, a large collection of antique carpets.
The former semahan, or room in which the ritual practice of sema (whirling) has beautiful woodwork which has been well maintained, but that isn't what catches your eye when you enter the space. No, it's the lit-up mannequin 'whirling dervises which mechanically spin across the floor.
Tokat has numerous old stone mosques, many dating back to the Selcuk era.
There are also a number of tombs either standing alone or on mosque complexes. I was more than a little surprised when visiting the tomb of Ali Tursi, which has beautiful turquoise Selcuk-era tilework, to see this posting by the Ministry of Religious Works 'reminding' visitors of 'how to appropriately visit' a tomb. I've never seen a posting like this at any other tomb in Turkey….
In addition we were able to pend time checking out the rich collection at the Tokat City Museum, which had no entrance fee. The museum is an a lovely old stone building, and has everything from archaeological finds from Tokat and the surrounding area to a wide assortment of religious artifacts (both Muslim Christian, iconographic paintings that echoed to a different time), folk costumes, handicrafts, and more. The collection includes pieces of the castle in the nearby town of Zile conquered by Julius Ceasar, who upon victory infamous declared "Vendi, Vidi, Vici!"
In addition, we stopped into an old caravanseray that is now owned by the state university in Tokat, who uses it to house much of their music daprtment, and one of the historic bazaar areas, where I picked up some of the famed cloth wth painted designs in the forms of a dress and a dual function scarf/vest. The woman I bought them from had painted them herself!
Of course, I'd be remiss without mentioning the meal itself, which was an absolute feast. We enjoyed a fantastic array of 'tradition Americana' dishes like mashed potatoes with gravy, green bean casserole (my contribution), REAL pumpkin pie from scratch (which was quite an effort), stuffing, etc. as well as some Turkish classics like mercimek koftesi (red lentil meatlessballs?) and stuffed grape leaves. There were many cries of affiyet olsun, and we all went around the table and shared the things for which we are thankful.
Tokat was a fabulous city that I'm so glad I visited- truly a hidden gem in the hillsides of central Anatolia.
I make okra.
The Egyptian Lenten fast is 55 days long (out of about 210 days in the year… The Copts take their religious dietary restrictions seriously, it seems). The fast calls for an entirely vegan diet over those 55 days, excluding all dairy, meat and fish products.
I'm not a regular practitioner of Coptic dietary restrictions, but I had recently pre-boiled and frozen a massive amount of chickpeas and I found fresh-frozen okra at the MigrosJet near campus today, so I decided to give it a whirl, at least for my dinner tonight.
A quick Google search confirmed my guesstimation of how to combine these two gems, the okra and the chickpeas:
Sauté some garlic and onion in olive oil, add tomatoes and okra, some cumin and lemon juice (also parsley for garnish but i didn't have any) and voila- serve with rice.
Of course, while the rice was simmering and I was doing some kitchen clean-up I grabbed the now empty bag of frozen okra, and lo and behold: an identical recipe to my "authentic Egyptian" spelled out in detail in Turkish and English on the back of the bag.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
Who needs Google, anyway?
I added some tomato juice for extra flavor, and if you aren't the fasting or otherwise vegan type, my recommendation of a spoonful of plain yogurt on everything applies to this meal as well, of course. Additional spices could include mint or crushed red pepper.
A blessed Lent to my Coptic family, and alf sa7a (a thousand times to your health, y3ni 'bon appetit') to any who want to give this recipe a whirl.
A cohort of Fulbright ETAs, myself included, descended on Istanbul once again this fall to participate in the Istanbul Marathon. It was a great weekend of re-connection with Fulbrighters at the two-ish month mark (and a homegirl from last year flew in for it, lucky me!) as well as a time of reflection.
Last year's marathon was my first ever trip to Istanbul, and it was a little mind-blowing to think back on all that has changed in this past year- my familiarity with and reservoir of life-long memories of Istanbul, the trips I've been on and the places and people they've led me to, the hours and occasional breakthroughs with students in class, increasing ease in speaking and understanding Turkish…
My life and world(view) has changed for sure, but my love for this city and this event haven't.
I was so disappointed last year to not have any of my own pictures to share of the event that I made a point of getting back to my airbnb early Saturday night to make sure my phone was fully charged up for the mornings festivities.
So obviously after about 15 minutes after we started walking, I totally forgot to take pictures.
Here are some of my shots from the start line:
Heck, I ended up even running the last 3k or so. Not pictured (deliberately) are the Viber 5Finger shoes I donned to feign seriousness about the athletic nature of the event.
Was super proud, though, to congratulate two of my fellow ETAs on completing the full marathon… Some people got it all, ya know?
Over Halloween 2014 weekend I traveled to the Aegean coast to celebrate the holiday and do some sightseeing.
I stayed with a friend in a unique area of Izmir called Bornova, which I had yet to visit. I had a great time spending a day wandering and site-seeking Bornova's famous Levantine architecture. I'm always intrigued by that, but the Bornova one-two punch is that many of these structures are religious (churches, to be precise). Well riddle me nerdy.
The focal point of the city square in Bornova is the still-active Catholic Church. Ironically, we couldn't find the entrance, not sure if we could've gotten in.
The side streets are full of hidden gems.
We were happy to come across the haunting St. Mary's Magdalene Anglican Church and accompanying cemetery. Some sources online say that this church is still active, but there's no way… I believe their services are held across town in Alsancak, but this building, based on the state of disrepair we witnessed, isn't being used.
Some of the historic structures have been renovated into hotels or civic buildings, while others sit awaiting restoration.
My wanderings also led me to Çeşme, a tourist hub about an hour south of Izmir, along the Aegean coast. I had previously only been to the bus terminal /international port, for my trip to Chios, the Greek island, a few weeks prior. We rode the Izmir metro system to its last stop, and then boarded a bus bound for Çeşme.
Late October is admittedly not the best time to visit the city, which is known for its beaches. Nonetheless, we wandered the boardwalk/port area, sat in a handful of cafes, ate kumru, a sandwich famous from the area which is mostly comprised of highly processed bright pink "sosis" (sausage).
I was thrilled to stumble across the Orthodox Church of Ayios Haralambos, a 19th century church that Lonenly Planet calls "imposing but redundant." I'm not sure what that means, but it certainly no longer operates as a church. The entire space was blanketed in the flags of the Kemalist CHP party, and there was a craft bazaar being held in the center of the space. Note the specific damage done to the iconography of the church… I still have a lot of lingering questions about this space.
We then visited the city's castle and accompanying museum, the major tourist attraction of the city.
The museum had both battle and historical artifacts and displays as well as archaeological and ethnographic (coins, pottery, glass, etc). A security guard even specifically led us to a room full of antique glass to make sure we didn't skip it. Our day finished at a famous ice cream place called Rumeli Pastanesi, where I dove into a coffee and chocolate cone. In addition to its ice cream (dondurma) this place also sells famed jams and preserves, both if which often contain mastic, the famous sticky stuff in these parts.
In all, Çeşme made for a good day trip with a bit of history sprinkled alongside relaxing with friends.
For curious minds regarding the Halloween festivities, I was a blank attendance sheet one night, a poor attempt at Fulbright Turkey ETA humor, and Frida Kahlo the next, an easy costume for someone with a wardrobe and eyebrows like mine.
Winter has truly arrived here in Kirikkale. Frigid temperatures and a blanket of snow have descended on the city, prompting my hibernation and hot plate to go into full gear– roads haven't been plowed and a trip down the street to the grocery store seemed daunting and fraught with slip-potential.
I decided to make do with what little I had stocked up in the ol' mutfak (kitchen) and devised a "chicken freekah soup," blending the fabulous Palestinian standard shurba al-farik with hints of the chicken noodle soup of my childhood (basically just that there are carrots). A simple and delicious one pot dinner that's a little funk, a little familiar, and a surprising amount of flavor.
For those who have yet to be acquainted with the Arab staple turned cult favorite gracing many "supergrain" lists, freekah refers to roasted cracked green wheat. The name comes from the Arabic root f-r-k, to rub, referring to the thrashing process it undergoes during production. It is a standard grain found most commonly in the cooking of the Levant and Egypt, though it has recently found new life in chef's kitchens across the globe. High in fiber and low on the glycemic index, with a delightfully chewy texture similar to pilavlik bulgur, it also is a lovely addition to salads, or on its own as a side dish with poultry or lamb. In any event, it's freek-in awesome.
One chicken breast
1 cup freekah, rinsed
2 Carrots
1 onion
Garlic (to taste, I minced 4 small cloves)
Lemon juice
Thyme or Zaatar
Olive oil
Gently sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil, then add carrots. After a few minutes add the freekah and stir continuously for a few minutes, to toast it. Add water and bring to a boil. After boiling for 5-10 minutes, add the chicken to poach it. When cooked, remove and shred using two forks. Return to pot. Season with lemon juice and healthy scoops of dried mint and zaatar (or any selection of fresh herbs you may have on hand). If you like,(I love!) serve hot with a dollop of plain yogurt.
Snuggle up with the bowl and a book, and you'll forget the snow outside.
Afiyet olsun! Sahtein! Enjoy!
This meal combines tastes and adapted recipes from the Maghreb to the Levant to Anatolia.
Nohutlu pilav, or rice with chickpeas, is a street and home cooked staple, often served with boiled shredded chicken. Because I used canned chickpeas, I began by preparing the rice and then added the chickpeas on top towards the end of the rice's preparation. As with just about all of my recipes, serving size and ingredient quantities are highly adjustable according to taste.
Rice (any form will do, while "baldo" is most common here for this dish)
Chickpeas (canned, about 1/3 less than amount of rice used)
Butter (about a tablespoon)
Chicken bouillon cube, crushed (optional, commonly used to flavor the rice)
Salt and black pepper, to taste.
Plain Yogurt (optional)
Melt the butter in a pot, add rinsed rice and stir continuously for 1-3 minutes. Add water, bring to a boil and then simmer with closed lid until all water has been absorbed. Do not stir. Add chickpeas and incorporate them into rice by fluffing with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with a healthy dollop of plain yogurt.
Peasant Salad ; Modified Fatoosh/ Çoban Salatası
This salad is either a classic Lebanese fatoosh salad without the requisite toasted pita bread pieces, or a Turkish çoban salatası with the addition of spices to the dressing. Either way, the name and tradition of both is that of a peasant salad, a gloriously easy hodgepodge that can include whatever vegetables one may have on hand. I especially love adding purslane (bakhleeh in Arabic, semizotu in Turkish) when available. I try to use an even amount of each vegetable (i.e. one tomato, one cucumber….). Based on preference, vegetables can either be roughly chopped, as in the Arab style, or diced, a la turca.
Tomato, chopped
Cucumber, chopped
Green pepper, chopped and de-seeded
Onion, chopped
Fresh mint, chopped (Optional. I used about a tablespoon of dried mint instead)
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Pomegranate molasses
Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Combine all ingredients. Boom.
"Moroccan carrots"
I have never been to Morocco nor had these carrots served to me by a Moroccan. The recipe is actually a modification of a dish made for me by a Lebanese roommate in Beirut. Numerous adaptations abound online under names like "Moroccan carrot salad." This is a great, quick, easy way to add some veggies with a unique flavor spectrum to a meal. They can be served hot or at room temperature, and make an excellent meze, in my opinion.
washed, peeled, sliced, and boiled or steamed until tender but not squishy
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Lots of cumin
Turkish crushed red pepper flakes
(Or paprika)
Salt, to taste
Garlic (optional)
Drain the carrots and mix them with all the dressing ingredients over very low heat, stirring gently until cumin and the liquids form a light sauce. Amount of cumin is super adjustable, I like lots. When the dressing lightly coats all the carrots, take it off the heat immediately.
Afiyet olsun! Sahtein! Bon appetit!
Kurban Bayrami 2014 Part 2. You can read part one, about my trip to Chios, here. For more on Izmir, click here.
Most people who spend a decent amount of time touring Turkey make a point of visiting Ephesus (Efes), the ancient Biblical city, as I have. Though they are almost equidistant, far fewer people make it to the city of Bergama, known in ancient times as Pergamum (or Pergamon… according to Wikipedia, both are correct).
This is unfortunate.
Bergama is located 100 km north of Izmir, today a city of about 60,000 people. Its current name in Turkish reflects its ancient stature. We went for an afternoon from Izmir and just barely had time to see three of the main attractions there: the Acropolis, the Asclepion, and the Red Basilica.
Having been a big fan of the Disney rendering of the story of the Greek god Hercules, I was fired up to visit the Acropolis; to climb up the mountain to have a chat with old man Zeus myself. Things in life never go exactly the way they do in the squeaky-clean animations though, and the climbing was mostly done in an old cab with a disgruntled but courteous driver blasting Turkish dance-pop music. In addition, my chat with Zeus in his altar is pending, as I'll need to arrange a trip to Berlin to see the remains, thanks to the persuasiveness of some opportunistic German archeologists in the late 1800's. I'll also have to wait about 5 years, as the exhibit in Berlin undergoes renovations. Always, the renovations.
A consolation, though. The magnificent tree pictured above stands at the site of the foundations of the Altar of Zeus.
Nevertheless, the site is stunning, and the vast majority of its structures remain, including an insane 10,000 seat theatre carved onto the side of a steep cliff. Significant portions of the Temple of Trajan also remain, pictured above. The view from the top of the site is breathtaking, a picturesque modern day Bergama with hillsides and red-tiled rooftops.
A more orientalizing blogger may suggest it's as if one goes back in time, gazing over the landscape. Besides being silly, that would also be patently untrue as the cable car which can take visitors up and down the steepest part of the ascent to the site (dropping off right at the ticket booth) obstructs the pastoral in many directions.
You can make out a bit of history though, especially if it's a clear day: a view of the pillars lining a walkway at the Asclepion, about 5 kilometers away as the crow flies.
For those of you who didn't know (I didn't), the Asclepion at Pergamum was a renowned ancient center of medicine. According to my Lonely Planet Guide, "Treatments included mud baths, the use of herbs and ointments, enemas, and sunbathing. Diagnosis was often by dream analysis." That can't have been all they were up to, because this was also the site where the great Galen was born and worked; his studies had a major impact on 'western' medicine for a good century and a half. Nice.
It was sunny and lovely, and my travel companions and I really enjoyed traipsing around the almost empty site. (Fellow visitors included two Turkish families, and two small tour groups, one geriatric group of Brits, and one with all members wearing matching "UPENN ALUMNI hats. That's it!)
We wandered through the aforementioned bazaar street lined with Roman columns, looked at but didn't drink from a sacred well (which was the same color as the now infamous algae blooms of Lake Erie this past summer, yum), and scaled and (I) sang in the very well restored theatre, which continues to host theatrical and musical performances in the summer.
I was also intrigued by signposts which advertised an app that allows users to visualize the way the site is presumed to have originally used, using 3D imaging technology. Sorry for the poor photo quality:
I enjoyed one of my favorite Turkish indulgences, freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, while perusing a gift shop chock full of replica parchment, echoing Pergamum's fame as the site of the development of the stuff. My pride in the innovations of ancient Egypt instilled by my grandparents got the best of me, and a Google-search later permitted a not-fully-deserved "I told you so;" parchment for use in the famed library of Pergamum was developed beginning with a shortage of papyrus shipped from Alexandria.
Our cab ride back into town took us through a neighborhood teeming with traditional old houses, some of which have been carefully restored as boutique hotels.
It also led us to the Red Basilica; another reason for Pergamum's fame. It was originally a massive temple to some Egyptian Gods, and Christians who later acquired the building actually just built their basilica inside the structure. The Book of Revelations lists this site as one of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, specifically as the throne of the devil. To be honest though, all I saw was a whole lot of renovation and not a lot of Basilica.
Though the archaeological museum was closed, we were able to walk through the historic covered bazaar, and we also spotted an old hamam, which is still operational.
Our day ended with some piyaz (white bean salad) and "Bergama koftesi," the defining trait of which seemed to be copious amounts of cumin.
As my travel companions from last year would say, "On to the next adventure!"

IBSF Sewing Project
The purpose of this project is to prepare the students of The Light School for a future job in tailoring, textiles or fashion design. This valuable skill will enrich their future and provide opportunities otherwise not available. Sewing basics are also a requirement for the WAEC exam taken by all JSS3 students (8th grade equivalent) to continue on to Senior Secondary School.
Obstacles to Overcome:
- Due to lack of funding, The Light School has historically been unable to offer classes that focus on a trade such as Sewing.
- Nigeria is currently experiencing an economic downturn and competition for jobs is tougher than ever for recent graduates.
- JSS3 Students are required to know how to sew for the WAEC exam.
Solutions to these Obstacles:
- Teach the JSS3 students the basics of sewing so they can earn a living and escape poverty after graduating from The Light School.
- Prepare the students for the WAEC exam so they can continue their education and apply to Senior Secondary School.
- The Light School administrative staff and IBSF will cultivate relationships with local community partners in related industries with the intention of lining up future job referrals.
Measurements for Success:
- IBSF Board of Directors will visit the class once per month and sit in on the lesson.
- We will work with The Light School staff to create a sewing curriculum and milestones for the students to follow.
- The students will complete an exam at year-end to demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter.
The IBSF Board of Directors will work with The Light School administrative staff to procure sewing machines, local Nigerian material, storage and supplies. We will also hire a local tailor to provide training and to support the new sewing teacher. We are excited to see all the creative and inventive projects the kids come up with, it's a great opportunity for them to express themselves as well as learn a new skill!

Embattled Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has at least one person sprucing up their resume to take his position in January 2011.
Former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman has expressed strong interest in holding the chairmanship when the next term begins. He will head to the RNC's summer meeting in Kansas City in August. During that time, he will attend a tribute to a fellow Republican and meet with some of the members who will choose the group's new leader next year.
Publicly, Norm Coleman is only saying that his "focus is on the 2010 elections," according to an email he sent to Politico. He has committed to helping Republicans win back some of the seats they lost in the 2006 and 2008 elections. As the GOP's chances of victory increasing in the fall, Coleman, as the possible chairman, would be poised to lead a new resurgence for the Republican party.
Coleman is vying for the seat currently held by Michael Steele, the RNC's first black chairman. Steele's nearly two-year tenure has been marked with questions about his leadership of the group as Republicans try to win back favor with voters.
Steele's leadership of the RNC has been called into question at several points during his time in office. Most recently, Federal Election Commission filings show that the RNC is heavily in debt, to the tune of nearly $7 million according to its treasurer.
Several of Steele's well-publicized gaffes have not helped to project the image of Republicans in touch with voters either. Steele came under fire when he said the conflict in Afghanistan is "Obama's war of choosing." [The U.S. actually entered the war in the Afghanistan and the broader War on Terror under former President George W. Bush]. He was caught in another controversy in March when FEC records revealed that a staffer spent nearly $2,000 of RNC funds at a bondage-themed strip club in California.
Coleman currently serves as CEO of the American Action Network, a group dedicated to supporting conservative ideas and candidates. He was locked in a heated and public re-election battle early last year with challenger, and now U.S. Senator, Al Franken (D-Minnesota). Coleman lost the election by 312 votes statewide, according to Politico.
Observers, still, are quick to note that Coleman's ability to rally powerful contacts and raise funds makes him an ever-attractive candidate for the RNC gig.

So, this is my baby number 2, but my first child never let me swaddle her after we got home from the hospital. My new little one, however, cannot sleep unless he is swaddled. He has just recently learned to roll from his back to his tummy. I'm not worried that he will roll as long as he is in his bassinet, but I am concerned about when I move him into his crib. I have tried to leave his arms out recently, but he wakes himself up either from jumping in his sleep or from trying to suck on his hands. Anyone else having this dilemma?

A Scam Email with the Subject "Treat With Confidential." was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Wed, 02 May 2007 08:47:23 -0700 and has been classified as a Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam. The sender was "Dr Philip Adom" <firstname.lastname@example.com>, although it may have been spoofed.
Dear Friend, I am contacting you in anticipation for a cordial business relationship. I am Dr. Philip Adom 51 year's old Ghana with lovely wife and three kids. A credit Control Officer with the First Atlantic Merchant Bank (Ghana) Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you that will be of our benefit. Before the U.S / Iraqi war, one of our customers Col.Ahmed Abba who was with the Iraqi forces and also a businessman deposited sum of Ten Million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$10,500, 000.00) only in our branch bank. Several notices were sent to him for his account advises, even during the war early last year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that the Col.Ahmed Abba and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also discovered that Col.Ahmed Abba did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. As his account manager, he confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Ten Million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$10,500,000.00) only is still lying in our bank branch and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of this country at the expiration of five years, the funds will be reverted to the ownership of the Ghana Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col.Ahmed Abba so that you will be able to receive his funds on our behalf. My aim of contacting you is to seek for your assistance to help me receive this fund in your bank account. I have worked out modalities which I am sure will benefit you and I. I will appreciate it very much if you will be willing to work with me. Please get back to me as soon as you receive this mail so that I can reveal the modalities to you and start providing you with the information that will make headway . Thank you in advance and May God bless you. Yours sincerely Dr Philip Adom.

Today, they pulled the plug on me. I became enslaved to the mechanic food-service industry. Void of any room for personality, I was limited to scripted conversation. Any deviation that resulted in personal conversation was frowned upon and risky. I let myself get in the way. The corporate infrastructure has "standards" and fails to account for the human effect of performing a particular task. The reality is that Houston's took me away from my family, friends, and goals, becoming my sole objective.
I made a commitment to never put myself in a situation that compromises who I am. It was as if I would go to work and leave Edwyn at the door because the law student and aspiring actor/model did not "fit the description". I began to prioritize and ask myself the following questions:
- What is most important to you?
- What do you want to be?
- How will you go about it?
Sure, anything that is involuntarily removed takes time to adjust. I realized that the majority of people do not genuinely care if you are not within their scope. As per the general counsel of the company, "Houston's does not value its employees, including you." Family. At the end of the day, it's a business because what is success when your number one fan is missing?

Risding of the Moon
By: Lady Gregory
This play is a one act play and was first performed in 1907. President McKinley being shot dead and the first comic book being written are a couple of the things that occurred in the early 1900's. In particular though, in the year 1907 was also when the Lamiere brothers created still color photography. Rising of the Moon is a play about a relation evolving between England and Ireland over freedom from English rule. Lady Gregory presents her characters through duty. She also uses folklore, myths, and songs/singing which is seen throughout these areas.
Ballad singer and sergeant are at the most importance within the play. Part of the inciting incident would be at the beginning of the play when policemen are putting up a notice in search of a man. The stasis would be when the policemen is in search of a man because he should be loyal to his country then later ends up changing his emotions over the situation.
This play was first published in 1905 and was a drama play. Within the twentieth century was when this work first appeared. The setting for the play is in Ireland. Drama, problem play, didactic literature, sketch, and morality play are the many different genres that are included within this play. While reading each stanza, a lot of ideas are brought out in your head on what is going on at what point in time. Mistaken or secret identity, duty, loyalty, and nationalism are some examples.
A character analysis is, the sergeant which is the one that is having the conversation with the ragged man. The policeman B an X are the ones that are out in search of a rebel, and posting description and reward papers up. The ragged man appears by the sea tries to pass but the sergeant does not let him. Therefore, the man goes on to telling the sergeant that he knows why he is there.
The analysis of the play is taking place by the sea. It starts out how policemen are in search of a man. Therefore, they are posting up a...

Well, a huge shout-out to Annie for posting the blog about free Christmas cards from Shutterfly! I never know about these things until after the fact and i am so excited that i read the blog before Christmas was over.
So, we have some options: Our amazing tree that is only amazing because Owen decorated it all by himself and only put ornaments on the bottom could be part of the card...what do you think?
Wait, before we get into that lets think about what kind of card. i am for the easy approach and would love to just send out pictures with printed words, but will you all be offended if there isn't something personal?
These were three that i liked, but really, there are 803 to choose from! its going to take a while to narrow it down. I'm sure that over the next couple of days my mind will change at least ten times.
Now back to subjects for the pics. I'm more of a candid kinda person. here we have Owen sleeping/praying:
And Ed passed out after a hard day of walking, yes -- he is finally walking! Only about five steps until he falls, but better than nothing.
Or we have my favorite choice:
Comment, email, call, you're the ones that have to live with these pictures so what do you want?
Oh, i know what you want -- you want to have the same excitement i am having and make your own cards. well, I'm ok with that as long as i get one. here are some links to help you on your way:

TWO leading Nationalists attacked Alex Salmond's Yes campaign last night over Scotland's place in Europe.
Former SNP leader Gordon Wilson and ex-deputy leader Jim Sillars demanded a second referendum on EU membership if Scotland voted for independence in 2014.
The pair said "serious question marks" remained over the issue.
The controversy over whether an independent Scotland would remain a EU member is dominating Scottish politics and will be a key issue in the historic vote.
The SNP Government insist Scotland would automatically become a member under the same terms as the UK – meaning it would not need to adopt the unpopular Euro currency.
But anger erupted after it emerged they had not taken any legal advice on the issue, despite launching a court battle to keep the information secret.
SNP face new independence blow as EU chief Herman Van Rompuy tells Alex Salmond Scotland are not guaranteed membership
Now Wilson and Sillars, who is married to Independent MSP Margo MacDonald, have increased Salmond's problems by slamming his approach and warning Scotland's best interests could lie outside the EU.
In a joint statement, they said: "Continued access to the large European market is one of the core issues dominating the debate, and will intensify in terms of importance and influence as an issue that will shape the vote.
"Mere assertions by the Scottish Government that there will be a seamless transition from part of the British state to full member state status need validation."
Spain is known to be carefully monitoring the situation because of fears it could increase calls for independence by areas such as Catalonia.
The country's foreign minister, Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, last week claimed an independent Scotland would be forced to win support of all 27 members before it would be allowed into the EU.
Spain will not object to an independent Scotland joining the EU
But Graham Avery, an honorary director general of the EC, said Scots had acquired rights as EU citizens over 40 years and could not be asked to leave the EU and apply for re-admission.
The EU Commission will only give their view on the matter if requested by a member state.
The UK Government have refused to do this, saying they will not "pre-negotiate" ahead of the referendum vote. But Wilson and Sillars demanded action is taken to clarify the position and called on the Scottish Government to start discussions about joining the European Free Trade Association with Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
They said: "Scottish voters should know well before 2014 what the terms are for continued EU membership and should be provided with an alternative on the day of independence."
Deputy Scottish Tory leader Jackson Carlaw said: "The wheels really are beginning to come off the SNP's bandwagon of assertions on Europe.
Washington Post warns an independent Scotland would lead to a less stable world
"Salmond has been criticised from all sides for his arrogance and bluffing on the issue."

New York's toughest fight it out among themselves
By Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Reuters) - In a city where strong-arm tactics may
be commonplace, scores of New York's toughest on Thursday
turned the practice into a spectator sport.
through New York's annual arm-wrestling championship, staged
before a crowd in the center of the giant Port Authority Bus
While nearly everyone has tried arm wrestling, although
generally not since childhood or maybe a late night in a bar,
these contestants said it's harder than it looked, and it
looked hard.
David Milburn, a burly 35-year-old security guard, said the
key is attitude. His tactic was wearing dark, mirrored
sunglasses to intimidate his opponents.
"It's like playing poker. You hide your eyes," he said.
"It's a mental thing."
The day's champion, Shaun Freeman, 24, said: "It's all
about technique. The trick is you've got to practice."
Winning for a third straight year, Freeman won his super
heavyweight class, for those weighing more than 225 pounds,
then went on to defeat the winner in each of the other seven
weight classes below his.
Nathan Berdugo, also 24, who works as a food deliveryman,
found out about technique the hard way. Having only heard about
the contest two weeks ago, he quickly lost.
"That's my problem," Berdugo said. "I don't have any
technique at all."
Bob Santalucia of Troy, New York, learned his lesson an
even harder way. His match ended with a loud snap as he
clutched his wrist in pain. As onlookers agreed among
themselves that he surely broke some arm bone, he left in an
Not everything about arm wrestling is hard, players said.
One contestant said he trains on bacon, egg and cheese
sandwiches, while another admitted the staple of his diet was
More than 70 arm wrestlers, including two women, competed
in the afternoon-long event sponsored by the New York Arm
Wrestling Association. Winners took home medals and plaques.
"It just feels good that I can tell people I'm the arm
wrestling champion of New York," said Freeman. "And the girls
like it."

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
The purpose of the present research is to evaluate electrically-active defects and measure the quantity of oxygen in heavily boron-dropped pィイD1+ィエD1 CZ silicon wafers. An efficient method for defect characterization, DLTS, was not carried out for pィイD1+ィエD1 wafers because of difficulties of fabrication of Schottky diodes. It was also difficult to detect oxygen by FT-IR because of large free carrier absorption. So, we tried to make diodes by decreasing carrier concentration due to the hydrogen passivation of boron. At the same time, it was considered possible to detect oxygen by FT-IR due to the decrease of free carrier absorption. The efficient method to introduce hydrogen was the exposure of samples to hydrogen plasma at 300℃. Diodes were successfully fabricated by evaporating Sm on top of hydrogenated surfaces. Then, the carrier concentration decreased from 〜5x10ィイD118ィエD1 cmィイD1-3ィエD1 to 〜10ィイD117ィエD1 cmィイD1-3ィエD1 in the near-surface region. As an alternative method, silicon wafers were boiled in water to introduce hydrogen more conveniently. The near-surface carrier concentration of 〜10ィイD117ィエD1 cmィイD1-3ィエD1 was obtained by consecutive eight processes of boiling and removal of oxide layer. The fabrication of diodes on hydrogenated surfaces of pィイD1+ィエD1 wafers made it possible to estimate defects by DLTS. On the other hand, the hydrogen atoms might deactivate defects in addition to boron acceptors. It is necessary to investigate the interaction between hydrogen atoms and defects. The study showed that hydrogen atoms not only deactivate some defects but also activate some inactive defects. Thus, some results were obtained for electrical characterization, but detection of oxygen in pィイD1+ィエD1 wafers by FT-IR was unattainable. For such purpose, more decrease of the carrier concentration than 〜10ィイD117ィエD1 cmィイD1-3ィエD1 is needed. We must pursue the introduction technique of the larger quantity of hydrogen into pィイD1+ィエD1 wafers.

Our Living Room (excuse the mess)
I have gotten some requests for pictures of our new home. So I am going to make you suffer with a different room each day. LOL -- First up, our living room. Our living room is actually my favorite room in the house. I love the big fireplace, but we have yet to have a fire. I love the way the t.v. looks over the fireplace. We got the couch, the end tables, & the little table next to the fireplace all at the same place we got the washer & dryer. The ends on the couch recline.
We sold everything when we moved out her, and let me say, it is easier to sell stuff than to buy stuff. Slowly but surely, we are filling our home. Maybe by the summer thaw our house will be fully furnished and ready for guests.

A Karner blue
Lucas County's famous Karner blue butterfly could be reintroduced to the 4,000-acre Oak Openings Preserve Metropark as early as July 4, another step toward anchoring its nationally heralded recovery in western Lucas County.
Peter Tolson, the Toledo Zoo's conservation director, told The Blade last night that 300 butterflies are earmarked for the Moseley Barrens Management Unit of the Nature Conservancy's Kitty Todd Preserve. But any hatched beyond that figure will be released on wild lupine growing in the Oak Openings Metropark's Lou Campbell Prairie, he said.
That prairie is separate from the Lou Campbell State Nature Preserve, which the Ohio Department of Natural Resources manages south of the Ohio Turnpike between Eber and Crissey roads.
John Jaeger, Toledo Area Metroparks natural resources director, said the Lou Campbell Prairie, south of Reed Road, has Oak Openings park's densest cluster of lupine.
The wild flower is the only plant that Karner blues feed on and has been making a comeback of its own in that park because of targeted restoration work supported in part by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other organizations.
Mr. Tolson said he is eager to reintroduce the butterfly to the Oak Openings park. But he said the first priority is to beef up the Moseley Barrens population, which in 2005 became the second Kitty Todd site for butterfly releases.
The first - in 1998 - was 1 1/2 miles away, America's first successful reintroduction of an endangered butterfly. It has been listed as an endangered species since 1992.
"We are hoping to release at the [Oak Openings'] Lou Campbell Prairie this year, but it depends how many hatch out and survive," Mr. Tolson said.
The Nature Conservancy's 700-acre Kitty Todd site is privately owned. The environmental land trust hosts the public from time to time, including an open house during the upcoming 2006 Blue Weekend celebration from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Mitch Magdich, Toledo Zoo education curator, said the Karner blues that will be released will be bred in captivity at the zoo in the coming weeks. They will be offspring of Karner blues the zoo periodically gets from west Michigan's Allegan State Game Area, with permission from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The Karner blue, a Lucas County native, has been the darling of biologists nationwide since it was reintroduced, a symbol for the region's fight against sprawl on behalf of a globally diverse landscape that once spanned across 22 miles of western Lucas and parts of Henry, Fulton, and Monroe counties.
Scott Carpenter, metroparks spokesman, said the Karner blue "is the pinnacle of the restoration effort" at the Oak Openings park.
"If it is able to be reintroduced [at Oak Openings], then a whole range of species will be able to benefit from what we're doing," he said.

Six Croatians were reportedly arrested in Malta after a brawl with bodyguards in a night club in Malta, a senior official in the Croatian Police Directorate said on Tuesday.
The Croatians arrived there ahead of a Malta-Croatia Euro 2016 qualifier set for Tuesday evening.
According to some media outlets, a fight erupted last night between Croatian fans and the night club's security staff, most of whom are Serb nationals. Some participants in the fight reportedly sustained injuries.
The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) has requested the match host to ban the entry of Croatian fans into the stadium.
Croatia are third in the section and must beat Malta and hope Norway do not beat Italy to finish second and qualify automatically for the tournament in France next year. (Hina)

Week 9 Waiver Wire: Top Pickups at Every PositionOctober 30, 2012
Week 9 Waiver Wire: Top Pickups at Every Position
Week 9 is also known as the bye week for the St. Louis Rams, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets. That leaves a few fantasy stars unavailable to their owners like Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, Shonn Greene and the entire Patriots offense.
Sometimes, fantasy owners don't have enough depth on their rosters to comfortably compensate for the temporary loss of their teams' cornerstones. Recent NFL developments, however, have provided quality bye-week options via the waiver wire.
Carson Palmer of the Oakland Raiders has a fantastic home matchup in Week 9 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who should be without both of their starting cornerbacks due to suspension.
If he's available, he should be a fine replacement for Tom Brady this week—but he won't make this list because he's already owned in more than 50 percent of ESPN.com fantasy leagues.
Read on to find out who will make the cut.
Quarterback: Brandon Weeden, Cleveland Browns
Weeden is coming off a pretty bad fantasy performance in Week 8 against the San Diego Chargers. He didn't turn the ball over, but he wasn't dynamic with it either.
He finished with 129 passing yards and four rushing yards on four carries as the Browns came away with a 7-6 win. In Week 9, Weeden will face the Baltimore Ravens for the second time in his young career.
Weeden's stat line in Week 4 at Baltimore wasn't horrifying: 320 passing yards and an interception. If not for a slew of receiver drops, his line would have looked even better.
That was before the Ravens lost Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb.
Baltimore is coming off a bye week, but two weeks isn't enough time to fix the gaping holes created by two of the team's best defenders.
Running Back: Jonathan Dwyer, Pittsburgh Steelers
Whether Dwyer is going to be a good fantasy play in Week 9 depends upon the status of Rashard Mendenhall's health.
Dwyer is giving the Steelers the ability to let Mendenhall take his time coming back from his Achilles injury. He took 17 carries in each of the last two games and topped 100 yards in each one as a result.
Week 9 matches him up with the New York Giants; not exactly the best running back matchup, but New York has allowed some nice fantasy performances at home this season.
The last two running backs the Giants have faced fared well from a statistical perspective. Alfred Morris carried the ball 22 times for 120 yards and caught two passes for 10 yards in Week 7.
Trent Richardson had 17 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in addition to five catches for 47 yards in Week 5.
Wide Receiver: Titus Young, Detroit Lions
After the Titus Young preseason sleeper hype subsided, Nate Burleson got hurt in Week 7 and opened the door for Young to produce.
Burleson is out for the season with a broken leg. Meanwhile, Young enjoyed the best game of his young career; he caught all nine of his targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
That production is sustainable over the long term.
He won't get two touchdowns every game, but he does benefit from Calvin Johnson drawing double and triple-coverage from opposing defenses.
Young's Week 9 opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, have allowed one or two touchdowns to wide receiving corps in each of their previous five games.
Tight End: Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers
Olsen has just one touchdown this season. He'll look to make it two against the Washington Redskins in Week 9.
Washington has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends in eight games this year. Despite Olsen's lack of fantasy production, he has managed to get multiple receptions in all but one of the Panthers' 2012 games.
The Redskins have given up at least five catches to tight ends in each of their last five contests.
Defense: San Diego Chargers
The San Diego defense held the Cleveland Browns to just seven points on the road in Week 8. Four days later, they'll welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Qualcomm Stadium.
Kansas City's offense is not very good.
It has committed 25 turnovers (and allowed three defensive touchdowns) in seven games this year and topped out at 27 points scored in any one game—an overtime win against the New Orleans Saints.
That just means that the Saints defense is even worse than the Chiefs offense; also evidenced by the fact that it has given up 50.6 more total yards per game than any other team in the NFL.
Kicker: Phil Dawson, Cleveland Browns
Dawson lit it up against the Baltimore Ravens for his best fantasy game of the season in Week 4. He kicked three 50-plus-yard field goals and an extra point for a 16-point fantasy day in standard leagues.
That was on the road. This week, he'll be at home.
A repeated matchup obviously doesn't mean that the game will play out the same way the second time as it did the first time around. Still, the Baltimore defense has gotten considerably weaker over the last month.
Even if the Browns don't drop 43 on the Ravens like the Houston Texans did in Week 7, they should at least be able to get into field goal range often enough for Dawson to make an impact as a fantasy kicker.

Today we are talking to Mason Arnold, "Cookie Monster" of Greenling Organic Delivery. Greenling is an Austin based company that delivers fresh organic produce directly to your door.
AroundAustin: Mason what does Greenling Organic Delivery do?
Mason: We deliver Organic and/or Local food right to people's door. Everything is done online. You browse just like you would at a grocery store, pick and choose what you want, then schedule it for delivery.
AroundAustin: I looked through your website, pretty neat. Didn't you win an award from PC Magazine for the technology used in both the website and delivery?
Mason: Yes, we did. Along with awards from Dell & NFIB, BigAustin, and a couple of other organizations.
AroundAustin: I found it cool that you actually measure the temperature as the product is being delivered
Mason: Yeah, we get asked all the time what happens if someone is not home for the delivery. We know that boxes are just fine out on the porch for several hours, even in Texas' scorching heat, but I wanted to be absolutely sure. So we continually track it.
AroundAustin: When did you start Greenling?
Mason: I got together with a college friend to talk about it around January of 2005 and we made our first delivery in May of that year.
AroundAustin: What motivated you to start a business in such a competitive field?
Mason: Well, it really boiled down to what we saw in the market. The food distribution system for Organic food was developing slowly. In many emerging markets you see this. Sometimes they are demand driven, or supply driven, but figuring out how to get the product from point A to point B is often an afterthought. Conventional food has a very sophisticated distribution network, but Organics was not just piggy-backing on that system because of the extra requirements for the food. We looked at the whole supply chain and thought we could do it better.
AroundAustin: From the customer's perspective, better how?
Mason: Fresher! The average piece of produce in America travels over 1500 miles and is 2.5 weeks old, ours travels less than 200 miles and is sometimes only 24 hours old.
AroundAustin: Wow! I would imagine fresher implies tastier what other benefits does fresher organic produce offer?
Mason: The biggest one is more nutritional content. Since we know we will be delivering the food that much faster, our farmers can leave the product in the ground longer and let it ripen, which is when much of the nutrient content is created.
AroundAustin: I've been reading a lot about the nutritional differences in organic food and the effects it has on one's health. That's exciting.
AroundAustin: Where do you source your product?
Mason: We get as much locally as we can. If it's growing locally, we get it. But Texas agriculture is difficult and very seasonal. For things that are out of season that people still want to purchase, we get it from Colorado or California.
AroundAustin: How do prices compare to going to a farmer's market?
Mason: They are comparable to farmer's markets and natural food stores. We buy in such quantities that we're able to stay competitive.
AroundAustin: That is unexpected. For the convenience of delivery I expected to pay a bit more.
Mason: we sell over 5000 pounds of local produce each week. We are able to keep costs down with our ordering system and inventory management.
Mason: we run a very tight ship and try to move everything out of the warehouse by the end of the week.
AroundAustin: How much of Austin do you cover now?
Mason: We now go from San Antonio up to a drop-point in Georgetown. In Austin we deliver from down near Manchaca up to Round Rock and Cedar Park. West to Lakeway.
AroundAustin: Any plans for growing the business to other cities soon?
Mason: Yes. We are currently raising money to expand to Houston and Dallas. We think our innovative model can be successful in any city and we think everyone should have easy access to fresh Local and Organic food.
AroundAustin: So how do I sign up?
Mason: You just go to www.Greenling.com. On the home page there is a space to enter your Zip Code. This determines your delivery day. Then you just browse the site to see what's available right now. Anything that you see on the website, you can order for delivery. Selection does change rapidly, though, so you may see some things one week and not the next. Check out and schedule your delivery. If you like what you get, it will just keep coming every week. Anytime you want to change what you are getting or skip a week or two, just sign back on and make the changes. It's really easy!
AroundAustin: Ok one last question. You say your favorite vegetable is Collard Greens cooked right. Really? How do you cook it right?
Mason: There is apparently an art to cooking them. I think the main thing is to not over-cook them. Good, Organic collard greens just need to be heated a little bit. It softens them up and releases more flavor. Over-cooked greens always seem to be sour, like when you order them in restaurants. When cooked right, they are smooth, velvety, and very tasteful!
AroundAustin: I'll have to try it. Soon
Mason: definitely. One of my favorite dishes is Black-eyed pea soup with collard greens and sausage or bacon.
AroundAustin: Thanks Mason

It is important that the baby's cord fall off before we get into actual bathing sessions. Just use a wash cloth and some luke warm water with mild baby soap in the water. If the baby is in India, you can bathe the kid with water but no rubbing and all, just mild soap application and dirt cleaning if any, no rigorous rubbing near the navel at all.
Procedure to bathe a kid in the first few days of life
Do not give massage to the body, just apply mild soap, clean the body and give bath once a day in tropical climate like in India or maybe alternate day or so in colder places like US. The other days just give mild soap-water sponge bath and apply moisturizer or cream suggested. It is best that the kid's body is free of anything in the first few days.
Applying oil to the baby's head
Yes, we can apply coconut oil, baby hair oil, or castor oil on baby's head mildly. If giving head bath daily, it would be good to apply a little more oil before head bath.
If in tropical climate like India, people give head bath regularly to the kids every day in the morning up to a year.
Twice daily bath
Again, if in tropical climate like India, we can start it from 11th day if it is mid summer or from 21st day in normal days. No head bath in the evenings at all.
After bath
Pat dry the skin with a soft towel, apply cream when the skin is still moist. If applying powder or corn starch apply and dress in loose fitting clothes.
One main aspect of baby care is bath. Back in India, it is a daily affair but might vary on the type of climate, the baby skin and all and need to take a doctor's opinion for the same.
For me, Sreya was a summer baby born in April in Krishna district in AP, so bathing her is a daily affair infact daily twice affair from day 11th day onwards.
So starting from the beginning, the first day of her life she was just wiped off with clean soft old used cotton sarees and rubbed with coconut oil by the midwife after the delivery, no water used is what they told me. So, technically her bathing session began the 2nd day of her life with the nurses giving her a mild soap and hot water rinse rather than a bath. The moment we set our feet at home, I had a lady in the village assigned specifically for her bathing sessions which I must say is a boon.
oka peeta meeda koorchuni kaalu rendo peeta meeda jaapukuni babyni padukobettukuni snanam cheyistaaru.
We used hot water, paala meeda meegada or perugu meeda meegada for the pre-bath massaging and then Subhra herbal bath powder slight massage and then washing with Johnson Baby soap, and Johnson Head to Toe/No tears Shampoo for head bath every morning. Believe me with all the massaging and stuff (I am told we did very mild massaging and the babies in the villages really get wild ones :)), the baby gets so tired and sleeps peacefully for minimum 2 hrs after the bath, so I used to feed her after her bath and let her sleep. The bath also includes exercise for the baby pulling her legs, hands, stroking her head (supposedly to keep it round after the delivery trauma) which I felt was good.
After 11th day, we started the evening bath too but not as rigorous as the morning session.. just plain soap and water wash minus the head bath.
Doctors specifically recommend no rigorous nalugu, maalish, or massage whatever for newborns as their skin is delicate. Just mild strokes for longer time would do and even we can do away with sunni-pindi/bath powder if the baby has a rash or becomes really red at bath time. Touchwood, Sreya enjoyed her bathing sessions, so we continued with everything in mild doses.
The actual massaging and stuff started once she entered her 3rd month and her skin was not as fragile with doctor's consent, mild exercising sessions became a little rigorous and I started massaging her with baby oil. Again, doctors advised no use of any type of oil massaging in the first and preferably second months of life. I used Johnson oil to start with and now shifted to Himani Ayurvedic oil after she turned 6 months old. An exercise routine in the morning with the oil and then a little play break and bath afterwards works wonders for them. Personal experience says that she gets one-on-one time with me, her exercise, and good sleep after all tiresome activity :).
This is an Indian, AP baby routine wrt to climate and body preference.. waiting for more inputs with regards to babies in US.

My Quota 1100 ES
Moto Guzzi enduro starts with model Regolarita on ISDT-International Six Day Trial in 1958. Later on Stornello as and Scrambler appeared. (Lodola regolarita, Stornello regolarita, Dingo cross and campero, 50 and 125, 125 TT. ) We can't seriously about all of those models as off-road vehicles, but it was a start for enduro production. There only more cosmetics made on some of those.
V engine on Guzzi enduro appears in 1979 on 500 TT model for Paris-Dakar http://www.dakardantan.com/paris-dakar-1979/rigoni,guzzi+500+tt,83.htmlrally. In 1981 a of V 50 TS was done, but it never reached In 1984 continues with 350 and 650 TT (tuttoterreno).
1985 prototyp was done with 750 engine, 1986 in serial production 650 NTX with famous 32 liters big tank. From 1989 was also 750 NTX with some body work and Targa Those bikes were enduro and they were on different competitions such: in Australia, Baja in California, in Egypt, Incas in Peru also for Paris-Dakar with made model Baja-650 TTc and Dakar with 750cc V 4
Those bikes are rare now According to rummers one new enduro was made after, very on chain drive.
Model 750 NTX in XPA is still in use by Italian police. I also NTX-650 from one of first. It is still in renewal and phase.
TT and NTX models were enduro on cardan beside BMW and XLV 750 and my guess is that Guzzi was designed. More about models you can read on:
There are three pages of between members with facts and photographs.
Serial production in Moto Guzzi started in 1992 with l000. The bike was result of to cover every aspect the Carburettors were replaced by Marelli electronic fuel The first serial Moto with that kind of was made.
Frame was completely new there was no integration between and rear brakes.
This was built in limited numbers, in production till 1997 poor sales figures. to factory data 682 such were produced. The production of model stopped few times Quota ES in 1998 appeared in program.
On new 1100 ES (enduro stradale) few were done comparing the with old 1000 model. was re-tuned, seat height was front disc's diameter was front headlight fairing redesigned with so called eye headlight. There are different when the bike production was from 1999 to 2001. One of is that in Guzzi factory an from Australia was expected. It came to it and production was stopped in (factory talks).
Last were exported in Canada in and they have 45 mm Marzocchi forks. 50 were sent 100 in States, about 35 are in Italy, 15- 20 in 207 in Germay in Slovenia they are 5. I have data for other According to factory info. 780 ES were produced.
To me that numm. is too high as it is for model. Although we can't say Quota is "old model my estimation is that there are than 500 both bike running now.
So we are talking very rare, almost Moto guzzi model. You be informed on Quota history in a bit context (Comparation Cagiva-Elephant Quota) made by my Yahoo forum friend. You can find it on: Quota-Alfred Jorgensen .
There is a disappoinment between numerus ovners regarding factory on them. Some spare are very heavily to find, 2006 particularly. Obviously was some sort of arrange Aprilia and Guzzi, when the one baught the second from group. Aprilia namely has own program (Pegaso, Caponord) so was no interest to have such one in Mandello, booth under the roof.
Since then Guzzi producing enduro bikes and management avoides conversation on topic. Pitty because is still a great deal of enduro knowledge and experiences from model Regolarita to in Mandello.
But from 2006 a lot of were on forums that new bike will apear as Not as enduro-off road bike but than stradale typ with cc. engine. In 2007 a dream a reallity and we were able to see the Stelvio as prototyp:
You can find two Quota tests

1. In this case, a scheme was framed in respect of the suit trust and under the scheme permission was given to apply to the Court for directions for the proper management of the institution. The respondents who are the archakas of the temple, have filed this petition praying for payment of the salaries to which they are entitled under the provisions of the scheme. It has now been finally decided by the Privy Council in Sevak Jeranchod Bhogilal v. Dakore Temple Committee that applications of this nature do not come under Section 47 of the C.P.C. Consequently, no appeal lies and the appeal filed here must be dismissed.
2. There remains to be considered what are the rights of the parties under the civil revision petition which has also been filed, and undoubtedly, that petition raises a question of jurisdiction, for it is contended that the Court had no jurisdiction to order execution of the decree containing the scheme. That this argument has considerable force is clear from the very form of the lower Court's order, which purports to order execution. In effect, the lower Court merely repeats in its present order the direction given in the scheme, namely, that the arehakas should be paid a certain amount of money. The Court has apparently assumed jurisdiction on the ground that it has power to direct the trustee as an officer of the Court to make certain payments. No doubt when the Receiver appointed by the Court was performing the duties of trustee, he was an officer of the Court but when ones his office ended, the duties fell upon the proper trustee, who is in no sense an officer of the Court. That reason, therefore, for ordering payment cannot be sustained and if we consider the provision in the scheme, it is clear that it cannot be enforced by this petition for there is no means of compelling the trustee to pay the money. There is no application for arrest or attachment and it is very doubtful whether such an application could possibly lie in the present case. The point has been considered in Janakirama Reddi v. Thiruvenkada Ramanuja Chari 2 M.L.T. 94 and Krishniengar v. Viraraghavathachariar 30 Ind. Cas. 771: 2 L.W. 607 in both of which cases, it was held that the decree must be regarded merely as declaratory. No doubt, in both those cases, the application was for compelling the performance of certain ceremonials and it was held that that could not be done. This case, though not a strong, must fall in the same category, for there is no means of enforcing the order of the Court. The petitioners must be left to a separate remedy either by way of suit or possibly by proceedings against the trustee for breach of trust. The lower Court not having jurisdiction to pass this order in execration, the civil revision petition must be allowed and the application dismissed with costs throughout.
3. A further question was raised that the provision in the scheme for application to the Court for directions was ultra vires but in the view we take of this case, it is not necessary to consider that question.
