HARARE - Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana's application challenging his placement on remand was thrown out yesterday after a Harare magistrate ruled that only President Robert Mugabe enjoyed immunity from arrest under the law.
Tomana, 48, is facing charges of criminal abuse of office and obstructing the course of justice after he allegedly withdrew charges against two men accused of plotting to bomb the First Family's dairy in Mazowe.
According to the State, Tomana illegally ordered the release of Solomon Makumbe and Silas Pfupa — who are both facing treason charges — before police had finalised investigations into the matter.
Harare provincial magistrate Vakayi Chikwekwe said there was reasonable suspicion that Tomana's actions constituted an offence.
"The law only provides for presidential immunity. I am convinced that police officers acted within their constitutional mandate by arresting the accused person.
"The police were simply alleging that he did not properly exercise his functions, resulting in the abuse of office. He caused the release of two accused persons arbitrarily, without a docket and information from the investigating officer," Chikwekwe said.
Although Tomana had also questioned the authority of regional prosecutors Gwinyai Shumba and Timothy Makoni, Chikwekwe ruled that they had a constitutional right to audience by the court.
"When authority to prosecute is granted, it becomes a blanket authority. It is, therefore, not tenable and sound for the accused person to stand in the dock and question the prosecutors. Nothing stands in the way of the judicial process.
"I am strongly convinced that there is a clear nexus between the accused person and the alleged illegal conduct. He must be tried," Chikwekwe said, before postponing the matter to March 7.
Tomana initially argued that the attempt to prosecute him was ultra vires the provisions of the country's new Constitution which give him authority to discharge independently any functions necessary for prosecution.
"It is an elementary principle of law and practice that I am entitled, as a matter of unfettered and unrestrained discretion, to choose whom to prosecute and whom to utilise as a State witness. That function lies at the core of my constitutional mandate.
"My placement on remand is highly irregular. It must be nullified retrospectively. Every time that I remain on remand, the Constitution suffers an unwarranted violation. That must be brought to an end. Those behind this process must stop it.
"How can I function independently, fearlessly and impartially when the police are free to arrest me for discharging a clear-cut prosecutorial function? The implication is that I can be arrested for something as innocuous as consent to bail," Tomana had argued.
Makumbe, a member of the Zimbabwe National Army and Pfupa, a former soldier, are jointly charged with Owen Kuchata — leader of a little-known political party going by the name Zimbabwe People's Front — and Borman Ngwenya, who is also employed as a soldier.
Kuchata is already serving nine years in jail after he voluntarily pleaded guilty to the terrorism charges.
Prosecutors allege that sometime in August last year, the accused persons held several meetings at Queens Hotel in Harare and then plotted to subvert the country's constitutionally-elected government.
They add that police received warning of the planned attack on Mugabe's dairy, before intercepting the suspects as they headed to the property.
The prosecutor-general was subsequently arrested and charged with "obstructing the course of justice" after dropping charges against two of the four men — who have since been re-arrested.
Tomana is rubbish. He has contributed to the rise in corruption in Zimbabwe because he failed to prosecute anybody despite massive evidence of looting of state assets. The Auditor General has done a fantastic job of unearthing corruption but the Prosecutor General is rubbish.
The First Family (Dr. Grace Mugabe and Cde Robert Gabriel Mugabe), I am appealing to you to ask why the Police Commissioner Augustine Chihuri is letting Constable Hove continuing to denigrate the First Family like that. Constable Hove has some clue on the failed bombing of the Gushungo Dairy Farm. He is also saying that something will happen at the 21srt anniversary in Masvingo if everything goes according to plan. I don't know why such people who do not have the First Family at heart should continue to serve in the country's security department. He has some materials for the People First under his custody. I know definitely that they are not at his home but he knows where those IEC materials are hidden. He is stationed at Makamba police station in Hwedza under Goto Rusape. It's unfortunate that the police do not display their force numbers otherwise i could have disclosed them. Urgent investigation for him to come out clear is requested. He brushed the essence of splashing close to USD 1 million ($1000 000.00) in sponsoring such barbaric occasion of a dictator. He wished if that money was given to him he would have used the money in a better sense that the Masvongo event.
Pasi naTomana let him be tried at the courts
Iwe Kamba haunya ganda kumeso, if you are serious and courageous why don't you straight to PGHQ and report you arch enemy Hove. It appears you are really out to destroy the guy given the number of posts you have sent on different platforms for that matter. Get a life buddy.
No one should be above the law. Tomana has had a big mouth has he not? If Zimbabwe's law was Godly hardly one ZPF minister. MP, security chief and anyone holding a position of authority would be running around free. I don't know how they sleep at night!

Maria Shriver Should Go Back To Work Right Away Says Journalist Lisa Ling!
In the midst of Maria Shriver's heartbreak over her husband's 20 year affair, Lisa believes she should immerse herself in work! Do you agree?
Maria Shriver wasn't always Mrs. Schwarzenegger. The mom-of-four was a hard-hitting journalist with NBC, won a Peabody award and helped the network win an Emmy for their Olympics coverage. But in 2004, less than three months after her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger was named Governor of California, she gave up her journalism career, claiming a conflict of interest. HollywoodLife.com spoke with journalist Lisa Ling and current host of Our America with Lisa Ling on Oprah's new OWN network, and she thinks Maria's next move should be returning to her career in news!
"I think we would all be so lucky if she would come back and be a really be a wide mainstream presence on television," Lisa said at the Samsung Hope For Children Gala. "She really is a jewel of a person."
Shriver has publicly thanked her fans for their love on Twitter, declaring, "Thank you all for the kindness, support and compassion. I am humbled by the love. Thank you." Lucy is among the legion of fans who finds Maria to be an inspiration.
"Maria is one of the women I admire most," she told us. "She is brilliantly intelligent, and one of the most compassionate people I know."
Although Maria claimed she wouldn't be returning to the world of news media, we're with Lisa on that one – come back, Maria!

Here, we see a woman, the Mother of God, encircled by a short and famous prayer: "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." Being conceived without sin - often referred to as her Immaculate Conception - means that from the beginning this woman was full of grace.
Mary stands on a globe, the world. Around her feet a twisted serpent, the devil, struggles for mastery. It's a conflict between good and evil. Satan's is a world of darkness and disgrace: Mary's - a world of light and grace. But hers is the victory, won by Christ - the light of the world. So we see the light and grace of Christ flowing from her hands; and those who choose grace rather than darkness turn to her for help: "pray for us who have recourse to thee."

Breaking news and expert analysis on legal and compliance issues
From Health Law Daily, May 4, 2017
Six weeks after pulling the American Health Care Act (AHCA) (H.R. 1628) from consideration, the House of Representatives passed the bill on May 4, 2017, by a vote of 217 to 213. The revised bill, which alters certain provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) (P.L. 111-148), includes three amendments, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has not yet scored. The first amendment is from Rep. Tom MacArthur (R- NJ), allowing states to waive essential health benefits (EHBs), age rating, and community rating. The second, from Reps. Gary Palmer (R- Ala) and David Schweikert (R- Ariz), would create a risk-sharing program for states. The third amendment, credited with bringing the bill back to the floor after its initial withdrawal, came from Reps. Fred Upton (R- Mich) and Billy Long (R- Mo), increasing the Patient and State Stability Fund by $8 billion over five years for states that use the MacArthur amendment's waivers. The House also passed H.R. 2192, which would eliminate provisions that exempt members of Congress and congressional staff from state waiver provisions, in response to criticisms that the AHCA would affect all Americans except those voting on the bill.
Although the AHCA is often referred to as a bill to repeal and replace the ACA, it would not do either; rather, the bill would eliminate many of the ACA's tax provisions, including a tax on tanning salons and the medical device excise tax, and terminate states' ability to expand Medicaid eligibility to nonelderly low-income adults who are not otherwise eligible for coverage. When the CBO previously scored the bill—not updated to account for the latest amendments—it found that federal deficits would be reduced but 24 million individuals would lose health insurance coverage (see CBO: Republican plan saves billions as 24M lose coverage, March 14, 2017; Revised AHCA costlier with same number of uninsured, March 24, 2017).
The MacArthur amendment would allow states to waive the ACA's prohibitions on charging individuals with pre-existing conditions more for health insurance coverage, while the Upton–Long amendment would provide some funding to help individuals in those states to pay for likely increases in premiums and out-of-pocket costs. However, doubts were raised about whether $8 billion would be sufficient; in 2013, Upton signed a letter to President Barack Obama saying that the $5 billion the ACA designated for the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) was insufficient, and suggesting that $25 billion would have been a more appropriate figure. When asked, Upton said, "Is it enough money? I don't know. That's the question that I asked and was led to believe that $5 billion would be enough, which is why it's $8 billion."
The AHCA was announced by Speaker Paul Ryan (R- Wis) on March 6, 2017 (see Republicans present health reform that is neither repeal nor replacement, March 7, 2017); the House Committees on Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce approved the bill in markup three days later (see 'American Health Care Act' earns first stamp of approval, March 9, 2017). One week after that, the House Budget Committee also approved the AHCA (see Trump budget slashes HHS funding; AHCA ready for floor vote after passing Budget Committee, March 16, 2017). The GOP provided two types of Manager's Amendments—Technical Changes and Policy Changes to address some criticism (see AHCA modified to bolster conservative support, March 21, 2017). The effort died, however, without a vote on March 24, 2017, one day after the seventh anniversary of the ACA's passage (see Short-lived AHCA yanked by GOP without a vote, March 24, 2017). At the time, Ryan announced that there would be no vote due to insufficient support. After Congress' Easter recess, negotiations brought the AHCA back to life, culminating in today's House vote.
Cheers erupted in the House as the vote ended, while a number of Democrats taunted their opposition by singing the chorus of "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," based on their belief that a vote in favor of the AHCA will harm Republicans in the 2018 election. Following the vote, House Republicans joined President Donald Trump at the White House for a Rose Garden press conference. Vice President Mike Pence congratulated the representatives on what he called "a historic first step to repeal and replace Obamacare," while Trump expressed his confidence that the bill will succeed and promised, "premiums will be coming down; deductibles will be coming down." The bill now moves to the Senate, where only a bare majority is needed to pass the bill through the reconciliation process.

Last year was the best of times and the worst of times for surfer James Pribram.
He lost one of his best friends to an overdose; was declared Athlete of the Year in the Laguna Beach Patriot's Day Parade; was hailed as a hero for rescuing a woman from drowning; and lost an important sponsor.
By November, Pribram was all but ready to trash his global Eco-Warrior Project.
He announced on his Facebook page that O'Neill wetsuits had dropped him as a sponsor — a final blow for the project and the six-year odyssey that had taken him from Chicago, to Chile and Japan, to the South Atlantic and points in between, seeking to right environmental wrongs and stand up for surfing.
When he got the email from O'Neill, an iconic firm founded 60 years ago by inventor of the wetsuit Jack O'Neill, it was the final blow.
"The email said, 'We love you and your work but can't pick up a deal for next year,'" Pribram said. "I was one of the last cuts they made."
It's been a rough few years, with key sponsors like XS Energy Drinks dropping him in 2008 due to the economic meltdown.
After the O'Neill announcement, "I had to take a knee," Pribram said. "I had to retreat and get out of the spotlight."
But despite the lows, the Eco-Warrior Project lives on.
Pribram, who grew up on Laguna's beaches and until recently wrote a column for the Coastline Pilot, credits surfing with saving him from a fate that some of his classmates suffered — overdoses and prison time.
He said he feels destined for a life of battling for environmental justice. But he'd be just as happy staying local.
He said an early surfing sponsor, Ocean Pacific, came up with the global eco-warrior idea.
In 2005, because of his political activism following a bout with a life-threatening skin disease picked up in the ocean, combined with his competitive surfing, he was picked as a global ambassador for surfing and clean water. A radio disc jockey dubbed him "the Eco-Warrior."
"They laid out a plan for me to go around the world and seek out endangered waters," Pribram said.
The project has never been a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and cannot accept donations. The companies that sponsor him foot the bill for the trips and in return generate publicity and goodwill for their brands.
"People have asked to donate, but they can't," he said.
The Eco-Warrior Project became a runaway success and took on a life of its own, and when OP dropped out, other companies came in. They all wanted him to go around the world battling environmental hazards, which he did — and does.
Pribram has faced down whale hunters in Japan — almost getting arrested in the process — and stood up at Chicago City Hall to support lifting a ban on surfing in Lake Michigan. Along the way, he became a bit of a celebrity in his own right and has had to learn the tricks of the celebrity game.
"When I speak, everything has to be so perfect," he said. "Being an Eco-Warrior is a heavy burden."
His most dangerous feat so far was to join a perilous journey from Brazil to South Africa in search of the elusive South Atlantic Gyre, or waste stream. Like Odysseus, he was strapped to the outside of the pitching vessel and endured 18-foot seas in the dead of night, keeping watch for the gyre. He was nearly swept overboard; the ill-fated journey also cost him a valued relationship.
But the Eco-Warrior Project hasn't ended, despite the disappointment of O'Neill pulling out and the bumps and bruises he has endured.
In fact, on Thursday, he'll be in Punta Sayulita, Mexico, to present a slideshow on his work. The event, a fundraiser for an environmental education program, has a price tag of $100 pesos per person.
In July, he'll join a 70-mile, weeklong stand-up paddle trek from San Mateo Creek at Trestles in San Diego County to the notoriously polluted Tijuana River at the U.S./Mexican border. Organized by an activist group called "below the surface," the team includes a photojournalist from National Geographic and the founder of Expedition 1000.
After all of the turmoil over the last few years and the ill health of his father, Pribram said he'd just as soon stay closer to home.
"I would rather have everything I do begin and end with Laguna and the next generation of kids," he said. "I want to be more involved in education. I want to avoid the dangerous situations."
He is relaunching his Aloha School of Surfing and is launching a new program with the Laguna Beach Boys & Girls Club that will involve education and beach cleanups.
He also works with children at Renaissance Club Sports in Aliso Viejo, where he works out twice a day.
And there may be new sponsorships in the works. He's talking to three or four "major companies," he said.
"The people who hoped my project was over were wrong," Pribram said. "You can beat me and hurt me but never defeat me, because I'm never going to give up."

Thursday, 6 August 2015
The young Fox above was in the meadow adjacent to the local woods in West Farleigh when I paid a short visit last week. This was the third Fox i'd seen that morning, they all looked like youngsters and were all on the skinny side. Maybe that explains their daylight hunting expeditions.
The meadow is usually quite good for butterflies and this Peacock was one of half a dozen prisitine individuals who were feeding along the sunny margins. This is without doubt my favourite butterfly and apart from the white species, is the only one I remember from when I was a child. Stunning then and stunning now.
I left the butterflies in peace and walked the short distance into the wood. This is a fairly open but dark area and I didn't expect to see too much here apart from Squirrels and the odd Robin, so I was absolutely amazed when I glanced up and saw an Eagle Owl sitting on a branch, out in the open, looking at me with almost complete disinterest.
It was directly above me and for a few seconds I froze, not knowing what to do. Would it fly as soon as I raised the camera? Would I be able to get a shot at all in the semi darkness of the wood? Was I dreaming?
I needn't have worried. This Owl gave me a few curious looks and then went back to sleep! I carried on taking a few shots and then sat on a nearby log and just watched it. All was calm and peaceful in the woods as I made the most of the only view i'd ever had of an Eagle Owl.
Then the Green Woodpeckers arrived! At least three of them, they were not amused by the presence of the Owl and made it plain with an awful din. If you look closely at the picture above, you can just make one of them out in the top right corner. A juvenile I think. They persisted with their taunting for several minutes as I watched from my log. I glanced down momentarily and when I looked back the Owl had gone. I heard not a sound as the bird left, not a rustle of feathers, nor a whoosh of air. I cursed the Woodpeckers silently and made my way through the wood.
With the Woodpeckers gone, all was pretty quiet, and by now the sun had just abut disappeared, so my search for dragonflies and other butterfly species was pretty fruitless. I did find the Spotted Flycatchers though, but they left as quickly as they had appeared. I checked around the ponds for the Marsh Tit which I found a few weeks ago, but alas no sign today. A couple of Treecreepers and a family of Chiffchaffs (junior pictured above), were of interest and deeper in the wood a chilling squeal suggested that maybe the Fox had managed to catch a Rabbit. Suddenly, overhead, a Buzzard called loudly and appeared briefly through a gap in the canopy, a very pale individual who piqued my interest but was lost to my eye very quickly.
Before leaving the pond, I scanned the reed stems and found the only dragonfly of my visit. It was leaving its previous existence as an aquatic nymph and emerging into its more impressive life as an aerial master. Not sure about species i'm afraid.
As I write, there has been no other sightings of the Eagle Owl. A lucky, chance encounter I think.
***** When I first saw this Owl I thought it was a Long-Eared Owl and that's what I originally referred to it as in this post. Thanks in particular to Marianne Taylor and Jerry Warne who contacted me to say they thought it was most likely an Eagle Owl. Its origins are unknown, but is likely to be an escapee from somewhere.. It looked well fed, so it's either a recent escapee or one who has been able to hunt for itself. Either way, it wasn't what I expected to find in the local woods that's for sure!! *****

An amazing moment Phil

Whoah, how amazing! However, that does not look like a LEO to me. My first thought when seeing the pics was that it was an eagle-owl species. It has an unstreaked belly, wide-spaced ear-tufts and lacks the LEO chestnut face. Thoughts?

Hi Marianne
I had the same thoughts initially. I sent a couple of pics to a chap in W. Farleigh who has been a birder all his life and keeps records for this particular KWT reserve. He seemed happy with it so I published , that's why it was a week or so after I'd first seen it before I did so. It didn't seem big enough for Eagle Owl, so I'll have to stick with LEO unless anyone can help.........
- 10 August 2015 at 15:17
- Marianne said...
Hmmm, well, it looks like no LEO I've ever seen! There are quite a few eagle-owl species btw, European is the biggest but some are a lot smaller. And it does look a fair bit bigger than the woodpecker, while LEO is only a little larger than Green Woodpecker (LEO 36cm, Green Woodie 32cm). I'll ask some other birder chums for opinions :)
- 10 August 2015 at 16:15
- Phil said...
Thanks Marianne. Just been looking at another book which gives LEO as being about Wood Pigeon size. I have to say this Owl was considerably bigger than a Wood Pig. This is my first (maybe) LEO so I have nothing physical to compare. Seems my claim to fame for first LEO sighting at this reserve is looking a bit shaky!
- 10 August 2015 at 16:47
- Marianne said...
Sorry for my slooow reply... I asked my two top blokes (former colleagues at Birdwatch) - one says probably LEO, and the other one says definitely eagle-owl. So that's not really added a lot to the debate...! but if it was much bigger than a Woodpig then yes, that would suggest it's not a LEO.
- 14 August 2015 at 13:20
- Phil said...
Thanks for that Marianne, much appreciated.
Had a text from Jerry Warne the other day, he had seen my blog and he also was pretty sure it was Eagle Owl, not LEO. In some ways I'm a bit miffed that it wasn't the reserves first LEO, but on the other hand it must be its first Eagle Owl, so I'll settle for that.
Thanks for your help!
- 14 August 2015 at 13:57
- Marianne said...
Yep, whichever way you look at it, it's a helluva find! And v interesting/instructive analysing the excellent photos too :)

text: I've been meaning to send my mom's kugel recipe to the list and Zoe's request finally got me to it. I've been experimenting with this for years trying to make it FF, yet taste as great as when my mom used to make it. I've finally succeeded! My husband, who usually makes a face whenever he tastes anything I eat, ate seconds and thirds. A word of warning: my family has a real sweet tooth, so you might have to fiddle with the sugar. 1 lb. "no yoke" board noodles (UNCOOKED -- very important!) 1 cup sugar (I use 1/2 sugar + equiv. to a little less than 1/2 cup sugar substititue) 16 oz. unsweetend applesauce 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 small can crushed pineapple with juice (unsweetened) 1 cup white raisins (I use 1/2 cup raisins + 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries from Ocean Spray) 7 eggs equivalent (like eggbeaters) 3 cups skim milk 1 pint ff plain yogurt topping: 1 snack size box of Special K (probably about 1 cup) 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tblsp brown sugar Mix all ingredients (except topping) together in a VERY large bowl. Consistency will be very loose. Pour into a large pan (approx. 9x13), cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours (It's better to let it stay overnight). Should be "set" when you remove from refrigerator. Prior to baking, prepare topping: crush cereal into small (but not tiny) pieces. Stir in cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle over top of kugel. Bake in preheated oven (300 degrees F) for 2 hours or until top is browned. Smells heavenly. Tastes good hot or cold, but it's really "creamy" when cold! ------------------------------

Anxiety and fear commonly accompany any difficult transition. Left unchecked, they can be all-consuming, leading to feelings of overwhelm. While we can't control the thoughts and feelings that come to us, it is within our power to choose what we focus upon. We can control the amount of space that our anxiety and fear consume.
Daniel Goleman, renowned for his work in emotional intelligence and the author of Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, writes: "Think of attention as a mental muscle that we can strengthen by a workout."
Two Types of Thoughts
Goleman describes two forms of thought: rumination and constructive worry. He defines rumination as thought loops that one can't stop and are upsetting. You keep thinking about the same things over and over again, becoming more anxious and getting nowhere. Constructive worry on the other hand is when you think about something upsetting, but you come up with something you can do about it and that stops the thought. You can then move forward and focus upon something else.
I had a client who was riddled with fears and anxiety due to many unfortunate life circumstances converging at once. She felt out of control. Negative thoughts were consuming more and more space and she was becoming increasingly more stressed, unable to move forward. We did an exercise in which she learned how to intentionally choose what to focus upon and in so doing, she became empowered, able to regain control over her emotions. You can try this if you feel you are engaged in rumination versus constructive worry.
Manage Your Anxiety
Visualize wrapping your negative thoughts, worries and anxieties in a package and placing this "worry package" on a shelf. You are permitted to unwrap the package twice a day for a defined amount of time – she and I agreed upon one half hour. At the end of the allotted time, replace the package on the shelf to be revisited later. When the package is on the shelf, you need to focus on other things and people in your life – work, friends and interests. Eventually you will need to revisit the worry package less and less as the energy devoted to other thoughts, people, and activities begin to consume a larger space in your head and heart.
It is a process, so be patient, but also be mindful.
How can you begin to create more space for yourself starting today?


text: In Progress nobodyyouknowParticipant April 26, 2017 at 9:45 am Post count: 1 #7728 | Hello! We're building an app that allows retirees to input the amount of money they have, along with their age, etc., and get a retirement plan that shows them how much money they can take in income each month without running out. We have scholars doing educational videos on longevity and investing, and we are using some machine learning to help us create the financial plan. We'd like something that gave people a feeling, instead of being descriptive. Some feelings to invoke could include scholarship, security, optimism for a great future, and/or freedom to live how they want without worry or restrictions. We'd like it to be fresh and new, but our audience is retirees so it shouldn't be so modern or trendy that it sounds weird to them or unstable. Thank you!

Texas beat Seattle 4-3 Wednesday afternoon to gain a split in the two game series and remain one-half game behind the Mariners for third place in the American League West. Nick Tepesch turned in another fine start to win his first game of the year in his second start. He gave up three runs, all earned in 6-1/3rd innings on five hits, striking out four and walking two. Robbie Ross, Neal Cotts and Joakim Soria finished the game, with Soria needing 10 pitches to retire the three batters he faced in the ninth and earn his eighth save.
The losing pitcher was Chris Young (3-2), former star basketball and baseball player at Highland Park High School. He, like Tepesch, went 6-1/3rd innings, giving up all four Ranger runs on seven hits.
Texas took the early lead with three first inning runs. Daniel Robinson walked and Elvis Andrus homered to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead two batters into the game. Sin-Shoo Choo followed with a single and later scored on Alex Rios' single for the third run. Seattle came back with three runs in the fourth inning. The first three Mariners of the inning tripled (James Jones), singled (Michael Saunders) and homered (Robinson Cano's second) to tie the game.
That was all the scoreboard damage Tepesch gave up. A boy named Choo broke the tie in the fifth inning with his team leading fifth home run, the run that proved to be the game winner.
The short series began with another disappointing offensive night for the Rangers. They garnered just six hits in Tuesday night's game – five singles and an Adrian Beltre home run, his fourth in the second inning. Alex Rios singled home the Rangers' other run in the game.
Colby Lewis was the starting pitcher and completed six innings for the first time in his seven starts. That was about the only good news. Beltre's home run gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, which was quickly erased as Seattle struck for four runs in the third inning. The first four Seattle batters of the inning reached base on three singles and a walk. All of them scored. Both teams scored single runs in the fourth inning, and Seattle added the game's final run in the seventh off Aaron Poreda. 6-2 was the final score.
The bottom line for Lewis was five earned runs allowed on nine hits. He struck out six, but walked three and hit a batter as 13 of the 30 batters he faced reached base. Three of the base hits were softly hit, but opponents are now hitting .351 off Lewis for the season. He took the loss to even his record at 3-3, and his ERA increased to 5.40.
Hisashi Iwakuma was very good for Seattle, allowing both runs and all six Ranger hits over eight innings. He missed the entire month of April with a torn tendon in his finger, but improved to 3-0 with a 1.76 ERA in four starts since returning to the active roster.
Prince Fielder and Leonys Martin were in the initial starting lineup for Tuesday's game, but both were scratched with neck stiffness. Neither was available for Wednesday's tilt either, and Fielder did not accompany the team to Detroit. He stayed in town for further examination, as he has now missed four consecutive games. With Fielder and Martin unavailable, the Rangers had just two position players on the bench for both games – a back-up catcher and a back-up middle infielder.
The Rangers now begin an 11-game road trip, the longest road trip of the season, with four games this weekend in Detroit. Yu Darvish (3-2) will start Thursday, in a rare day game to start the series. Scott Baker (0-0) will become the tenth Ranger starting pitcher on Friday night, as he moves into the rotation replacing Robbie Ross. Friday's game is the only night game of the series. Nick Martinez (0-1) and Lewis (3-3) will start Saturday and Sunday.
ROSTER MOVES: Catcher J. P. Arencibia was sent to AAA Round Rock on Tuesday, and Chris Gimenez was added to the roster. To make room for Gimenez on the 40-man roster, pitcher Martin Perez was transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list, becoming the seventh Ranger on the 60-day DL. Gimenez was on the Rangers' opening day roster, but did not see action in a game before being designated for assignment. When he played Wednesday, he became the 39th player to appear in a game for Texas this year.
* Former Ranger owner, and former United States Ambassador to Australia and Japan, Tom Schieffer was named to the Texas Rangers' Hall of Fame. He'll be inducted prior to the Rangers' game on August 23. Schieffer, who will become the 17th member of the Rangers' Hall of Fame, was the driving force behind the design and construction of the Ballpark in Arlington, now known as Globe Life Ballpark, in the early 1990′s.
* The Rangers have failed to win any of their last six series going 0-4-2. They last won a series May 2, 3 and 4 against the Angels.
* Nick Tepesch became the 13th pitcher to record a win for the Rangers this year, the Major League high.
* Three of Colby Lewis's seven starts have been against Seattle, and his ERA is 6.61 against the Mariners this year.

On two thin wings, it darts up high.
Those tiny wings can really fly!

The Buzz you hear are the wings going by!
So if a fly ever catches your eye
Don't ask why it buzzes - you now know why!

As he wiggles

Fastened to a leaf
Hanging in the shade.
He barely had room
To wiggle or wag,
Like me zipped up
In my sleeping bag.

But he never budged--
Until just today
Something happened!
He wagged and wiggled
And then climbed out
And carefully jiggled
Small wet wings
That grew as they dried.
He'd turned to a butterfly

what about a Conjuror with rabbits in his pockets?
What about a Rocket Man who's always making rockets?
Oh there's such a lot of things to do and such a lot to be
A meeting planned at twelve o'clock to walk and talk awhile.
The Hour-hand with the Minute-hand could never keep apace,
"The speed at which you move," he said, "is really a disgrace!"
Is marked with milestones all along, and there are twelve, you know.
And I must call at each of these before my journey's done,
While you are creeping like a snail from twelve o'clock to one.
So now, farewell! But we shall meet again, good sir," said he,
"The road that we are following is circular, you see!"
Easily spent
copper brown
and worth one cent.
Thick and fat,
You're worth five cents.
I know that.
Little and thin,
I remember,
You're worth ten.
Big and bold,
You're worth twenty-five
I am told!
In with the new
Brush every day
And CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!
If it's cold or wet or hot
Pitch in to save the planet
It's the only one we've got.
by Betty Miles
breathe the same air,
share the same seas,
live together on the land.
People everywhere
who learn, plan,
work, care,
save the earth.
As they greet the summer sun,
And love the way the wind can make
The trees sings just for fun;
As it drums upon the shore,
And imagine all the whales out there,
And hope they'll sing some more;
As players in a band,
Each with a lovely tune to play,
All needed on the land;
A woman or a man
You have a vital role to play
In Mother Nature's plan;
As a part of nature's treasure
You're in tune with Mother Nature
So let's all sing her song together.

Easter eggs with chocolate thick.
Easter Bunny makes a call!
Such a lot of pleasant things.
by Aileen Fisher
there isn't an orange,
I've looked them through."
and a yellow too-
THAT'LL make orange
when you get through."
At every house he makes a stop
Looking for a ready basket
Into which the candy drops.
Out the door of every stop,
Smiling children see with pleasure
All the treats that Herbie drops.
Herbie heads back to his shop,
Eggs and paint are all around him.
But his Easter work was tops!
by Rowena Bennett
I met a bob-tail bunnykin and asked where he was going,
"Tis in the house and out the house a-tipsy, tipsy toeing,
Tis round the house and 'bout the house a-lightly I am going."
"But what is that of every hue you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;"
I wonder that you ask it.
"tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
And eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house on bonny Easter Day."
He perked his ears
And winked his eye
And twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail-
What tail he had-
And stood up on his toes.
"I must be gone before the sun;
The East is growing gray;
"Tis almost time for bells to chime."
So he hippety-hopped away.
by Sarah Benedetti
All shiny white
And then I dip
It out of sight.
Within the cup
Then after a minute
I pick it up.
It's a lovely
Shade of green!
The prettiest Easter egg
I've ever seen.
by Jeanene Engelhardt
Of the most amazing kind,
For Easter she laid patterned eggs
That she, herself, designed:
Eggs with diamonds,
Eggs with stars,
Eggs with twinkly-winkly bars,
Eggs with crescents,
Eggs with flowers,
And two eggs with rainbow showers!
She's a darling and a dear.
Best of all, she's promised me
To lay them every year!
into each sleeve,
put on your coat
before you leave.
Zip the zipper
right to the top,
and cover your head
whenever rain drops.
by Dorothy Aldis
are days,
Blue, and nearly warm,
When horses
switch their tails
And ducks
go quacking through the farm.
When everything
turns round to feel
The sun upon its back--
When winter lifts a little bit
And springs peeks through the crack.
A Goblin lives in our house all the year round.
He bumps
And he jumps
And he thumps
And he stumps
He knocks
And he rocks
And he rattles at the locks.
A goblin lives in our house,
in our house, in our house,
A goblin lives in our house
all the year round.
Rose Fyleman
good morning to you and good morning to you;
Come pull on your stocking and put on your shoe;
There are bees, there are birds, there are flowers in the sun --
Will you
Won't you
See your shadow?
Will it
Won't it
Really matter?
Do you
Don't you
Grin to see
Take you
The funny little groundhog
Digs a home in the fall,
And hides there all winter
Rolled up in a ball.
On February 2nd
He comes out of there
To look at the sky
And to sniff the air.
(If he sees his shadow, he goes back to sleep for 6 more weeks, but
if he doesn�t...that means that Spring is on the way!)
(By Barbara Walker)
There are shadows you make in the sunshine,
There are shadows you make by the lamp,
There are shadows that lurk in the forest
While you tell creepy stories at camp.
There are shadows that help you with puppets,
And shadows; you make just for play,
But the shadow that's famous is Groundhog's,
When he tells whether winter's to stay.
Let's go out very early this morning
And watch for his shadow, my son;
It may not be at all scientific,
But you've got to admit that it's fun!
A groundhog lives down deep in the ground.
He sleeps through the winter.
And every year about this time,
He wakes up and wonders,
"Is it time to get out of bed
Or pull the covers back over my head?"
So he pokes his head up out of the ground.
Will he see his shadow?
On February second
The groundhog looked about
The sun was shining brightly
But his shadow wasn't out.
Mr. Woolly Bear was watching
The groundhog search around
"Mr. Groundhog look behind you
Your shadow's on the ground."
"Hooray", the groundhog shouted
"For once we both agree
Six more weeks of winter weather
Six more weeks of sleep for me."
(By Robert Louis Stevenson)
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me.
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometime shoots up taller like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way,
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepyhead,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Here's a Little Groundhog
(Can be sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
Here's a little groundhog
Furry and brown
He's coming up
To look around
If he sees his shadow
Down he goes
Then six more weeks
Of winter snows
Groundhog, groundhog,
What do you seek?
As out of your hole
You quietly peek.
If the day be fair
Your shadow will be
Cast on the ground
For all to see.
And back to your lair,
You'll quickly creep
And for six long weeks
Again you'll sleep.
But if we're lucky,
The sky will be gray,
And your shadow
Today will be far away.
Then all of us
Will dance and sing.
'Cause just around the corner
Here comes Spring!
Mary Toots
Thank you Lord for dirty hands
That touch my stove and fridge;
For sticky little fingers that
Try to build a bridge.
For careless hands that go astray
In search of something new;
For hands to hold and show the way
As mothers often do.
For precious little hands in which
Great faith so abounds;
For silly little hands that reach
To touch a mother's frown.
And thank you for your guiding hand
That leads me to the light;
That lifts me when I stumble
And points me to the right.

My dirty little fingerprints
I've left on every wall,
And on the drawers and table tops,
I've really marked them all.
But here is one that won't rub off,
I'm giving it to you,
Because I'm thankful for a (mother or father) just like you!
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small, And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But everyday I am growing,
-I'll be grown up someday,
And all these tiny handprints
Will simply fade away.
So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall,
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
I love you!
This is to remind you
When I have grown so tall,
That once I was quite little
And my hands were very small.
Here is my hand
So tiny, so small
to hang somewhere
upon your wall.
My hand will do
A 1000 loving things for you
And you will remember
When I am tall...
That once my hand
Was just this small.
To make this flower just for you.
It doesn't smell, it doesn't grow.
It's from me to let you know;
Love you (Mom or Dad)?
Love you not?
Love you, (Mom or Dad)!
Love you a lot!
Tiny handprints grow so fast
Their awkward groping soon will clasp
A ball, a book, a sweetheart's hand
A diploma, breifcase, wedding band.
Tiny handprints grow so strong
It doesn't take them very long
To snap a shirt, to paint, to draw
To labor hard, to drive a car.
Tiny handprints grow to be
A person that is quite unique
A wonderful mix of so many things
With his own feelings, thoughts and dreams...

When it is the winter time
I run up the street
And I make the ice laugh
With my little feet--
"Crickle, crackle, cricke
Crrrreeeeet, creeeet, creeeet."
By Dorothy Aldis, Everything and Anything copyright 1927
One day the letters went to school,
And tried to learn each other;
They got so mixed 't was really hard
To pick out one from t' other.
A went in first, and Z went last;
The rest all were between them---
K,l, and M, and N, O, P--
I wish you could have seen them!
B,C,D,E, and J, K, L,
So jostled well their betters;
Q,R,S,T--I grieve to say---
Were very naughty letters.
Of course, ere long, they came to words---
What else could be expected?
Till E mad E,J,C, and T
Decidedly dejected.
Now, through it all the consonants
Were rudest and uncouthest,
while all the pretty Vowel girls
were certainly the smoothest.
And simple U keep far from Q,
With face demure and moral,
"Because," she said, "we are, we two,
So apt to start a quarrel!"
But spiteful P said, "Pooh for U!"
(Which made her feel quite bitter),
And calling O,L, E to help,
He really tried to hit her.
Cried A, "Now E and C, come here!
If both will aid a minute,
good P will join in making peace,
Or else the mischief's in it."
And smiling E, the ready sprite,
Said, "Yes, and count me double."
The done, sweet peace shone o'er the scene,
And gone was all he trouble!
Meanwhile when U and P made up,
The Cons'nants look about them,
And kissed the Vowels, for you see,
the could not do without them.
By Mary Mapes Dodge
I like blowing bubbles, and swinging on a swing;
I love to take a country walk and hear the birdies sing.
I like little kittens, and I love puppies too;
And calves and little squealing pigs and baby ducks, don't you?
I like picking daisies, I love my teddy bear;
I like to look at picture books in Daddy's big armchair.

by Greg Scelsa
Love is...a tender feeling,
Love is...a way of being,
Love is...just showing someone you care.
Love is...helping with the dishes,
Love is...feeding your pet fishes,
Love is...just giving from your heart.
Love is so very simple,
It's not a mystery,
When you treat those around you
The very same way
You want them to treat you.
Love is...your baby sister,
Love is...playing with her,
Love is...holding her when she cries.
Love is...sharing your candy,
Love is...being all that you can be.
Love is lending a helping hand
When someone needs you.
Love is...
Love is...
For you and me.
Oh! Love is the greatest thing in the world!
I think mice
Are rather nice.
their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven't any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink.
Their teeth are white.
They run about
The house at night.
they nibble things
They shouldn't touch
And no one seems
to like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.

*I Asked a Tiger to Tea
by Ivy O Eastwick
I asked a tiger to tea;
he said
he would come
if he could;
but he had to visit
a very old aunt
who lived in Crabapple Wood.
I asked a camel to tea;
but he said
that he must
since he had to go
to the village store
and purchase two pairs of shoes.
I asked a giraffe to tea;
but he said
that he was
not able;
his neck made it
rather difficult
to eat from a dining table.
I asked a lion to tea;
but he said
that he just
couldn't bother...
so I think I will share
my afternoon tea
with my cat
and my dog
and my brother.
--- *Dream Boat by Charles Ghigna
If I could build a sailing ship,
And I could have one wish,
I'd want my helpers all to be
Dolphins, whales, and fish.
The Sawfish would saw all the boards
And cut the mast and rails;
The shark known as the Hammerhead,
Of course, would drive the nails.
For lights I'd use, if it agrees,
The bright Electric Eel;
The Dolphin with its dorsal fin
Would be the sailboat's keel.
I'd ask the Sailfish if it minds
Serving as the sail;
And for the anchor I would need
The giant Humpback Whale!
The captain of the sailing ship
(If I could have my wish),
Would be the one who sails the best--
The clever Pilotfish.
--- *Backyard Pool
by Charles A Grupp
If I were to tell you what happened to me
One day in my very own pool,
You'd never believe it, and I quite agree--
It doesn't occur, as a rule.
A whale swam by, as large as a ship,
Showing his teeth in a grin.
A friendly old beast, he lowered one lip
And smiled, inviting me in.
A pelican screamed as I dove with a splash,
And a sleepy old turtle stood by,
As four dainty dolphins sped through in a flash,
Waving a friendly good-bye.
But then came a swordfish, a group of three seals,
And creatures galore from the sea!
I clambered right out to make room for the eels--
It was getting too crowded for me.
Oodles of Noodles
I love noodles. Give me oodles.
Make a mound up to the sun.
Noodles are my favorite foodles.
I eat noodles by the ton.

There's a wide-eyed owl
With a pointed nose,
he has pointed ears
And claws for toes:
He sits in a tree
And looks at you;
Then flaps his wings and says,
"Tu-whit, tu-whoo!"
There was an owl
who lived in an oak.
The more he heard,
the less he spoke;
the less he spoke,
the more he heard-
We all should be
like that wise old bird.
I'm giving a party tomorrow at three,
And these are the people I'm asking to tea,
I'm sure you will know them--they're old friends, not new;
Bo-Peep and Jack Horner and Little Boy Blue,
And Little Miss Muffet, and Jack and his Jill
(Please don't mention spiders--nor having a spill).
And Little Red Riding Hood--Goldilocks too
(When sitting beside them, don't talk of the zoo).
And sweet Cinderella, and also her Prince
(They're married--and happy they've lived ever since!)...
All these are the people I'm asking to tea;
So please come and meet them tomorrow at three.

Waddle, waddle, waddle
>From side to side
Penguins go a-walking
Slip, slip slide, slide.
With a funny jump
The penguins dash
Down to the water
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
Waddle from the water
With a rock n' roll
Penguins go parading
On a wintry stroll.
I saw a penguin.
He walked right by.
He had a tear in his eye.
I heard him cry and softly sigh,
Oh I wish I could fly.

Keep a poem in your pocket
And a picture in your head
And you'll never feel lonely

The little poem will sing to you.
The little picture it brings to you
A dozen dreams to dance to you
At night when your in bed.
Keep a picture in your pocket
And a poem in your head
And you'll never feel lonely
At night when your in bed.

Haste is Waste
Learn to talk,
Learn to walk,
But do not be in haste;
Stub your toes,
Hurt your nose,
And learn that haste is waste.
For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none;
If there be one, try to find it;
If there be none, never mind it.
Anger in its time and place
may assume a kind of grace.
It must have some reason in it,
And not last beyond a minute.
Charles and Mary Lamb
I'm glad the sky is painted blue,
and the earth is painted green,
With such a lot of nice fresh air
All sandwiched in between.
Happy play in grassy places---
that was how, in ancient ages,
children grew to kings and sages.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ride, ride the carousel,
Reach for the golden ring,
Never to finish,
But begin again.
Life is a circular thing.
Every moment has its duty--
Who the future can foretell?
Then why leave for tomorrow
What today can do as well?
Go to bed early--wake up with joy;
go to bed late--cross girl or boy.
Go to bed early---ready for play;
Go to bed late--moping all day.
Go to bed early--no pains or ills;
Go to bed late--doctors and pills.
Go to bed early--grow very tall;
Go to bed late--stay very small.
A child should always say what's true
And speak when he is spoken to;
And behave mannerly at table,
At least as far as he is able.
Robert Louis Stevenson
As wet as a fish--as dry as a bone;
As live as a bird--as dead as a stone;
As plump as a partridge--as pooer as a rat;
As stong as a horse--as weak as a cat;
As heavy as lead--as light as a feather;
As steady as time--uncertain as weather;
As hot as an oven--as cold as a frog;
As gay as a lark--as sick as a dog;
As firece as a tiger-as mild as a dove;
As stiff as a poker--as limp as a glove;
as blind as a bat --a deaf as a post;
As cool as a cucumber---as warm as toat;
As red as rose--as square as a box;
As bold as a thief--as sly as a fox;
As good as a feat-as bad as a witch;
As light as is day-as dark as is pitch.
Snow is out of fashion,
But it still comes down,
To whiten all the buildings
In our town;
to dule the noise of traffic;
To dim each glaring light
With star-shaped feathers
Of frosty white.
And not the tallest building
Halfway up the sky;
Or all the trains and busses,
And taxis scudding by;
And not a million people,
Not one of them at all,
Can do a thing about the snow
But let it fall!

It Slushes.
It hushes
The loudness in the road.
It flitter-twitters.
And laughs away from me.
It laughs a lovely whiteness,
And whitely whirs away,
To be
Some otherwhere,
Still white as milk or shirts,
So beautiful it hurts.

Irish all-
Just today.
Shamrocks say
"St. Patrick's Day!"
Two little kittens,
One stormy night,
Began to quarrel,
And then to fight.
One had a mouse,
the other had none;
And that's the way
the quarrel begun.
"I'll have that mouse,"
Said the bigger cat.
"You'll have that mouse?
We'll see about that!"....
The old woman seized
Her sweeping broom,
And swept both kittens
Right out of the room.
the ground was covered
With frost and snow,
And the two little kittens
Had nowhere to go.
They lay and shivered
On a mat at the door
While the old woman
Was sweeping the floor.
And then they crept in,
As quiet as mice,
All wet with the snow,
And as cold as ice,
And found it much better,
That stormy night,
To lie by the fire
Than to quarrel and fight.
And dress by yellow candlelight.
In summer, quite the other way.
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Although He Didn't Like the Taste
by Arnold Lobel
Although he didn't like the taste,
George brushed his teeth with pickle paste.
Not ever was his mouth so clean,
Not ever were his teeth so green.
There was a little turtle.
he lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle
He climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
he snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.

"Thinking of you" Adornit
Oh my! For someone who really never liked coloring stamped images much, I am absolutely addicted to coloring these images!! They just feel so much more comfortable to me. You can shade, or not shade, use any markers, watercolor pencils, regular colored pencils, water color crayons, watercolor paints, chalk... whatever! I always felt like to be able to color, I'd need to buy a 100 different colors of copic markers. I know better now.
On this card I used fine tip sharpies and chalk. ( yes, chalk). I actually broke out the chalks I own, dusted them off and started using them again. There are just some things that they work great for. Like highlighting letter and edging they image. I think I've just found that you need to just have fun with it, use what your comfortable with and stop worrying what others are doing. I was just putting too much pressure on myself .. thinking I had to have a plethora of fancy markers and be an expert "colorer".lol
Once I took that pressure off... it made all the difference. I enjoy it now.
These are some of the ADORNit paintables. There are tons to choose from. You can check them out here.
Actually there are even more here... coloring books and coloring planners.
The background papers are also from ADORNit. Blender Basics.
Well, I guess I have stopped coloring long enough to get a couple of other things done this week. lol The kids were here for Dinner the other night. We had lasagna, and I actually took time to make a pie. I used to love to make pies, but it seems like for the most part it's only Thanksgiving that I make them. I love pie, Dan doesn't eat sweets, so that's a good reason for me not to make pies and have them sitting around here. lol
I do love cooking and baking for the kids tho. They are always so appreciative of a home cooked meal ( no matter what I fix). And they are always more than happy to take home leftovers :)
Oh, and I forgot to share a couple of photos from last weekend. Yes, yes, I did get to go see my favorite band. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
Wes's girlfriend Amy went with me. It was a blast.
A good time was had by all!
Amy even had her picture taken with Jim Dalton after the show. ( don't get jealous Wes lol_)
Thanks friends, for stopping by! You are the best! I just went and looked and I've been blogging since 4/21/06 WHAT? how can that even be?? Wow
Thank you , thank you for reading !

Washington DC – The Examiner
Get your fill of Filipino at Pampanguena
By: Alexandra Greeley
To anyone curious about Filipino cooking, the Washington area has not, until now, offered many restaurant options to explore the cuisine. All that is about to change with the recently opened Pampanguena Café in Rockville. Quite by surprise, this enterprise, which has replaced a Vietnamese restaurant, looks like it is going to make headlines and succeed where its predecessor failed.
Huge portions of food served from the cafeteria line or prepared by special order and very low prices are a few reasons why. And, for most of us, an entirely new eating experience. How many Washington, after all, know or can pronounce such exotic sounding dishes as rellenong ampalaya ($4, stuffed bitter melon), pancit palabok ($5.50, sautéed egg noodles with pork, shrimp and green onions), or the tongue-twister kaderetang kambing ($9.99, goat meat stewed with tomato sauce).
For the uninitiated, Filipino cooking is mix of Chinese, Spanish and Malaysian, with some overtones of Indian and American seasonings and ingredients. While the dishes may sound very exotic, the flavors are comfortably familiar and few dishes are spiked with anything remotely resembling Thai Chilli. Because of this, it would not surprise anybody if Filipino food becomes of D.C.'s next culinary superstars, replacing the flashier Thai-Indian-Middle Eastern-Vietnamese feeding frenzies.
We managed to settle on the goat stew (a special order at $9.99), rice, chicken adobo and pork stew. The latter two, as are most items on the buffet, were priced at two entrees, $5.99. The goat stew is always a special order apparently, and if you like the pungency of goat meat, the stew is great bet, just slightly spiced and very rich.
Not every dish listed on their menu appears on the steam table, and if you want something special- such as those dishes listed on the board behind the cashier register- you'll need to order them separately. You'll find two lists there: one called "entrees" and one called "specials." The prices are comparable.
Save room for the dessert cart, where you'll find the Filipino-iced classic, halo-halo. Ideal for summer and for an afternoon tea break at any time- and also for dessert, obviously- this iced treat yields to none for its inherent texture and taste combinations: a mound of shaved ice buries such exotic bits of fruit as jackfruit, toddy palm, papaya, bananas and beans. Milk and sugar add texture and flavor; and if you order the "special" halo-halo ($4.50), you'll receive a scoop of brilliantly lavender ice cream as the garnish.

|TELCIU: Bistrita-Nasaud judet, Transylvania region
US Commission No. ROCE-0184
Alternate names: Teltsch in German and Telcs in Hungarian. Located at 47°26' 24°24' in Bistrita-Nasaud judet, Transylvania region, 125 km. from Cluj and 21 km. from Nasaud. The present total town population is 4000; Jews. The address of the cemetery is 4520 Telciu, Jud. Bistrita-Nasaud, Romania, on a hill near the Christian cemetery in the County of Bistrita-Nasaud, Transylvania, Romania. The present total town population is 4000 with no Jews.
[UPDATE] Photos by Charles Burns [June 2016]
There were no Jews in 1850, but by 1857 they were 9 of a total population of 1812 and 75 in 1880 of a total of 2410. By 1930, there were 204 Jews. In May 1944, the Jews were confined to the ghetto of Bistrita and were deported to Auschwitz on June 2-6, 1944.. After 1945, only a few came back. In 1990, there were only two brothers, living in Nasaud, who tried to obtain their old properties in Telciu. The Orthodox Jewish cemetery was established in the 19th century, 10 km. away from congregation. There is not another Jewish cemetery around for 15 km.
The rural (agricultural) hillside, separate but near other cemeteries, has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, it is open with permission via a continuous fence and a usually unlocked gate. The approximate size of cemetery before World War II and now is 505 sq.m. + 240 sq.m. reserve = 745 sq.m. 55 gravestones are in cemetery, 49 of which are in the original positions. 6 are fallen or broken. The oldest known gravestone is 140 years old. The marble, limestone, sandstone, or slate, flat shaped stones, finely smoothed and inscribed stones, or flat stones with carved relief decoration have Hebrew inscriptions. No known mass graves or structures. The Federation of Jewish Communities of Romania owns and uses it only as a Jewish cemetery.
Adjacent properties are agricultural, residential, and a Christian cemetery. The cemetery is the same size as it was before 1939. It is visited rarely by private visitors. It was possibly vandalized during World War II but not in the last ten years. Care has included clearing vegetation annually and fixing fence and gate by Bistrita Jewish Community that did restoration in the 1960s and 1970s. Bistrita Jewish Congregation of pays the regular caretaker. Weather erosion and vegetation are the only moderate threats.
