Why can't we have nice things?
That's the question, if not exactly the phrasing, so many conservatives are asking these days.
Despite controlling the White House and both branches of Congress, the GOP can't get much done. Oh, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have talking points pushing back on this widespread impression. Ryan's argument has some merit: The House has passed a good deal of legislation — 305 bills, according to GovTrack.us. Admittedly, a lot of it is minor, but there's some meaty stuff as well, including Obamacare repeal-and-replace.
The problem is that very little of it can get through the narrowly Republican-controlled Senate, the burial ground where the GOP elephant goes to die.
Much of the blame goes to Mr. McConnell, particularly when the blame is being cast by President Trump's biggest supporters. Whether that's fair is the subject of much debate. While Mr. McConnell has made his share of mistakes, the scapegoating is often wildly overblown.
As Sen. Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, recently explained on my new podcast, The Remnant, the GOP simply is not an ideologically unified party. There is not one GOP but several. In a sense, that's always been true of Republicans — and Democrats.
Political parties always have different ideological and regional factions. The late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone used to claim he was from "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," by which he meant he was an authentic progressive. FDR's coalition included progressive and socialist Jews and African-Americans as well as segregationist Democrats and progressive Republicans. Ronald Reagan unified movement conservatives and traditional East Coast Republicans as well as big swaths of conservative Democrats and even a few libertarians.
Part of the problem is that we don't think of parties as coalitions of disparate ideological and geographic interests anymore. For much of American history, if you asked someone whether they were a Republican or Democrat, you'd have to ask a follow-up question to learn whether they were a liberal or conservative, never mind what kind of liberal or conservative they were.
Thanks to the trend of political polarization, we now expect ideological conformity to go hand in hand with party identification. And it does more than ever. For the first time in American history, party ID is more predictive of behaviors and attitudes than race, according to political scientists Shanto Iyengar and Sean Westwood(of Dartmouth and Stanford, respectively).
"Partisanship, for a long period of time, wasn't viewed as part of who we are," Westwood told The New York Times earlier this year. "It wasn't core to our identity. It was just an ancillary trait. But in the modern era we view party identity as something akin to gender, ethnicity or race -- the core traits that we use to describe ourselves to others."
So from one perspective, dysfunction in Congress is a good sign because it shows that partisanship doesn't override all other concerns. But that's cold comfort for Republicans, who'd like to fulfill the promises they campaigned on for years now that they "control" Washington.
But control requires consensus. The simple fact is that Republicans disagree -- for good reasons and bad -- on how to reform the tax code, fix health care and deal with immigration. In a Senate where Democrats are unified by nothing save their Trump hatred and where Republicans have only a two-seat majority, it's virtually impossible to get agreement on any significant legislation, even under the arcane rules of reconciliation (which requires 51 votes instead of the 60 votes usually needed to override filibusters).
But because we see things through a partisan-tribal lens, dissent from the party line or the Trump "agenda" is cast as betrayal, particularly by the loud rump faction represented by people such as ousted White House adviser Steve Bannon. To listen to the Bannonistas, Mr. McConnell's failure to deliver the votes for Obamacare repeal -- or, soon, tax reform -- is a personal betrayal of Mr. Trump. Never mind that the U.S. Senate isn't the British Parliament, and the majority leader has little to no power to force 52 independently elected senators to do anything. Also, no Senate majority leader can compensate for a president unwilling or unable to unify the party.
Mr. Bannon, a self-described "nationalist" who detests traditional conservatism and "the establishment," is trying to turn Mr. McConnell into a boogeyman so that nationalist congressional challengers can topple Republican incumbents in primaries and advance Mr. Bannon's (if not necessarily Mr. Trump's) agenda.
I think that effort will fail. But even it were successful, it would only perpetuate the dysfunction, because that agenda doesn't unify the party.
Nice things aren't on the horizon.

Armenian Genocide
The Armenian Genocide was the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, especially the deaths of 1.5 million[1][2] Armenians from Anatolia during World War I.
It was motivated by both, ethnic Turkish anti-Armenian racism[3] and Islamic anti-Christian intolerance, as a jihad.[4] Turkish and Kurdish mobs attacking Armenian caravans with shouts and cries of "Allah" and "jihad".[5] Impeccably researched account[6] shows that the Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey's Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894–1924, was: actually part of a single, continuing, and intentional effort to wipe out Anatolia's Christian population and create a pure Muslim nation.
Turkey (which in 1923 became the successor state to the Ottoman Empire) has denied its responsibility, suggesting that preplanned genocide did not occur. Turkey says it was a confusing period where many people were killed because of political uprisings. To this day, Turkey denies it and did not even release their records.
The Armenian Genocide of 1914–1923 was not the only Armenian Genocide – an earlier one began in 1019.[7]
Following victory over Persia at the Battle of Chaldiran in 1514, the Ottoman Empire extended its rule over western Armenia. In 1555 Armenia was divided between the Shahs of Persia and the Sultans of Turkey.
In traditional Ottoman society, the Armenians were defined, as were other Christians and the Jews, as a dhimmi millet, a non-Muslim religious community of the empire. Their actual treatment by the state varied to some extent with the military fortunes of the empire, the religious passions of its elites, and the encroachment upon their land by Muslim refugees from the Balkans and the Caucasus as well as by Kurdish pastoralists. Normally dhimmis were free to practice their religion, but they were distinctively inferior to Muslims in status. In the nineteenth century, the Armenians challenged the traditional hierarchy of Ottoman society as they became better educated, wealthier, and more urban. In response—despite attempts at reforms—the empire became more repressive toward Armenians, who more than any other Christian minority bore the brunt of persecution
In the 19th century, Russia, after victories over Persia in 1828 and over Turkey in 1829, acquired the right to organize the immigration of Armenians into the Caucasus with the aim of developing the territories. Under Russia, the number of Armenians in the area now represented by present-day Soviet Armenia increased from 46,000 in 1827 to 511,000 in 1897. Thus by joining Russia, Eastern Armenia became the home of the national survival of the Armenian people. The fate of Western Armenia was different. The organized massacres of 1894-96 and 1909 and the genocide of 1915 completely depopulated Western Armenia.
Conflict between Turks and Armenians resulted from dissimilar cultural elements and social organization. By the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman authorities justified their attacks on Armenians by accusing them of being "revolutionaries, terrorists, and troublemakers acting on behalf of Russia or other foreign powers." Even with the demise of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, the conflict between Turks and Armenians remained unresolved, resulting in contemporary Armenian terrorist attacks on Turkish targets.
The Turks often used Muslim Kurds as intermediary oppressors between themselves and the Christian Armenians. Less firmly Islamic Kurds, however, often aided persecuted Armenians, and at times when the Kurds themselves were oppressed, Kurdish-Armenian solidarity emerged. The complex history of Turkish-Kurdish-Armenian relations culminated in Kurdish complicity in the genocide committed against the Armenians during World War I. Thereafter, Kurds and Kurdish independence movements became the chief targets of Turkish policies attempting to Turkify all Anatolia.[8]
Armenian nationalists
Following the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, Russians occupied the six Armenian vilayets, and Armenian nationalism was stimulated. In 1880, a revolutionary organization known as the Defenders of the Fatherland was organized in Erzurum. A few years later, in 1885, the Armenakan society was organized, and in 1887 the Hunchagian Party appeared. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktzutun) was formed in 1890.
The Armenians expected outside assistance in their efforts to break away from Ottoman rule and were led to carry out a number of rash terror actions, including bombing and assassinations. The Russians, therefore, discouraged the Armenian liberation movement from establishing an independent Armenia on the southern borders of Russia. But the Russian government also took active steps to prevent the massacres of Armenians by Sultan Abdul Hamid.
When Sultan Abdul Hamid II came to power in 1876, he steered a course of political and social repression and technological modernization. But the Empire was the "sick man of Europe" and nationalist revolts among Christian minorities led to the loss of Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania and large parts of Bulgaria, which comprised 40% of the territory. Some 400,000 Muslim refugees were expelled; the Empire became more Muslim and hatred of Christians intensified. The old program of using Christian minorities to speed the modernization process had failed. The Empire was bankrupt and the Christians wanted autonomy, not participation.
In August and September 1894, a series of massacres occurred in the vicinity of Sassun as a result of an uprising that was put down with ferocity by Kurdish irregular cavalry (Hamidieh regiments). The massacres soon spread, and in October and November 1895 there were pogroms at Trabzon, Erzurum, Bitlis, Kurun, Maras, and elsewhere. The essential cause of the massacres lay in the failure of the European powers to secure the reforms envisaged by the Treaty of Berlin for the Asian provinces of the Ottoman Empire. In August 1896 after an attack on the Ottoman Bank in Constantinople a massacre of Armenians occurred in the Ottoman capital; 4,000 to 6,000 Armenians were killed. By the end of 1896 over 80,000 Armenians lad dead in the eastern provinces.
It is still not clear what role he and his regime played in the massacres of 1894-1896, but massacres set off large-scale protests, especially in the United States and Britain. The protests forced Sultan Abdul-Hamid II to appoint an investigating commission, joined by British, French, and Russian delegates, which produced a minor reform program. Despite his policy of ruthless repression, the sultan could not halt the military and political disintegration of his regime, and he was replaced in 1908 by the political revolution of the Young Turks, who sought to address the Ottoman crisis with new and radical ideas.
Young Turks
The Young Turks had an entirely new approach. They did not want modernity, they wanted a Pan-Islamic empire based on Turks and other Muslim ethnic groups. Christians, especially Greeks and Armenians were distrusted; large numbers emigrated. By April 1909, there were massacres at Adana and other places of Lesser Armenia, sparked by peaceful demonstrations that inflamed nationalist Turks. Intermittent attacks took place in the following years, against the background of the disintegration of the empire. When the Armenians threatened to add to the losses the Young Turks drew the line, began advocating a xenophobic and chauvinistic brand of nationalism that sought to create a new empire based on Islam and Turkish ethnicity. This new empire, stretching from Anatolia to western China, would exclude minorities unless they became Turks by nationality and Muslims by religion. The Armenians would rather die than give up their Christian religion; the Young Turks found willing allies in Kurdish elements in Anatolia who had long been hostile to the Armenians. Armenians grew closer to Russia, the Orthodox Christian nation that seemed best poised to protect them. The people in eastern Armenia were protected by the Russians and by 1919 had their own nation. The 3 million people in western Armenia were under Turkish control and they were the victims.
World War I
The Young Turk "Ittihad ve Terrake Djemieti" [Committee of Union and Progress, or CUP] took the opportunity afforded by the war with Russia to solve its "Armenian question." The Empire was at war with Russia, with military action in and near Armenia. The Armenians were seen as allies of the Russians, and could not be trusted with weapons. At the end of 1914, Armenian soldiers in the Ottoman forces were disarmed; many were killed. In April 1915 hundreds of writers, journalists, and artists were arrested, exiled, and murdered. In June 1915, as western powers threatened to punish those who committed atrocities against the Armenians, the government escalated its attacks and decided to forcibly remove all the Armenians living in eastern Armenia, near the Russian border—the Armenian homeland for many centuries. The deportation was the height of cruelty, in western Armenia, Cilicia, and surrounding regions, followed.[9] The long lines of Armenian deportees were set upon again and again by Turkish and Kurdish villagers who in many cases had been incited and were led by specially designated killing squads, that Armenians believe were organized at the highest levels of the government. Those Armenians who escaped massacre and reached the camps in Syria were very likely to perish of hunger, dehydration, or exposure on the way. Between 1915 and the armistice in 1918, some one million Armenians, out of a population of two million, were killed; others were killed in organized fighting after 1918.[10] The Turkish mindset looked at adult men as the carriers of Armenian identity; they were killed. Women and children were considered to have malleable ethnic identity according to which men controlled them. Children especially were taken and raised as Turks or Kurds; women were made permanent servants or kept in harems.[11]
Many Armenians who survived the ordeal settled in Lebanon, with an Armenian population of 200,000 in the 1970s; large numbers dispersed worldwide, especially to California.
Diplomatic response
The Allied Powers, at war with the Ottoman Empire, expressed outrage at the mass-murder of the Armenians. They pledged retribution against the perpetrators and support for an independent Armenian republic. On May 24, 1915, the Allies referred to the genocide as a "crime against humanity and civilization," and warned that they would hold Turkish officials "who have participated in the massacres personally responsible." In May 1918, a small and vulnerable Armenian Republic was founded in the Caucasus and expanded into parts of Ottoman Armenia as the Turkish army withdrew from the region; it was taken over by the Soviet Union in 1920.
American public opinion was outraged at the genocide of Christians by Muslims, and sent tens of millions of dollars in relief aid, setting up refugee camps especially in Russia.
The Treaty of Sèvres, Aug. 10, 1920, provided for an independent Armenia. However, the situation was drastically changed by Turkish military assaults and the establishment of a Soviet republic in Yerevan, Armenia, in late 1920. A treaty imposed on Armenia by Turkey on December 3 reduced Soviet Armenia to the province of Yerevan. It finally became independent in 1991.
In postwar Turkey, international pressure forced war crimes trials in 1919-20 against the Young Turk faction. The triumvirs who ruled Turkey in 1915 and had ordered the genocide—War Minister Enver Pasha, Interior minister Talat Pasha, and defense minister Ahmed Djemal Pasha—were condemned to death. They had fled Turkey but were tracked down and assassinated by Armenians as part of "Operation Nemesis," designed to kill the 200 Turks most involved in the genocide.[12] The new leader of Turkey after the war, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk had broken with the Young Turk group in 1914, was never involved in the genocide, and ended the privileged position given to Islam. Some 150,000 Armenians lived in Istanbul throughout the period; in the Armenian homeland areas of eastern Turkey almost all the Armenians were gone.
Historical work on the genocide has been almost entirely pro-Armenian or pro-Turkish and therefore implicated in a political conflict still unresolved today. Armenian historians seek to exorcise the trauma experienced by earlier generations, to pass on the memory of this trauma, and to present the genocide of the Armenians as the founding element of contemporary Armenian identity.
British historian Arnold Toynbee, whose 1917 report remains a critical primary source, changed his evaluation later in life, concluding, "These…Armenian political aspirations had not been legitimate....Their aspirations did not merely threaten to break up the Turkish Empire; they could not be fulfilled without doing grave injustice to the Turkish people itself."[13]
For Turkish historians, supporting the national republican myth is essential to preserving Turkish national unity. The usual Turkish argument is that the deportations were necessary because the Armenians had allied themselves with Russian invaders in wartime, and "some 100,000 Armenians...may have died between 1915 and 1918, but this was no greater a percentage than that of the Turks and other Muslims who died as a result of the same conditions in the same places at the same time." "There was no genocide committed against the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire before or during World War I." [14] Dissident historians in Turkey are trying to reclaim the Armenians as part of Ottoman and Turkish history and acknowledge the wrongs done to the Armenians as a condition for reconciliation with them on the basis of confidence in Turkish national unity.[15]
Six decades after the event a revival of Armenian nationalism led to an organized Armenian terrorist campaign that began in 1975, targeting Turkish diplomats. For example, Kemal Arikan, the new Turkish consul general in Los Angeles was assassinated on January 28, 1982,[16]
Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the Caucasus became a new field for Turkish foreign policy, and in this region relations with Armenia became the most critical and sensitive challenge. Despite the extreme negative historical legacy of the genocide, Turkey tried to establish a new basis for relations with Armenia, and there were some positive steps taken in this direction under the presidency of Levon Ter-Petrosian in Armenia. Disputes over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh became the decisive factor in bilateral relations, as the predominantly Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh protested control by the Muslim Republic of Azerbaijan, which had Turkey's support. During the presidency of Ter-Petrosian's successor, Robert Kocharian, aside from the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, diaspora communities gained influence, which led to the genocide issue again becoming an important element in bilateral relations. Despite Kocharian's early hawkish rhetoric, during the second term of his presidency a détente arose in relations between the two countries, and the Turkish-Armenian Peace Commission founded in 2001 was a significant step in the direction of better relations.
Internationally, twenty-one countries have recognized the tragedy as genocide, as have 32 U.S. states.[17] This has been a problem in the Turkish-Armenian relationship, as well as the relationship with Israel, which is a close ally of Turkey, and the U.S., which has a very large and active Armenian population of Armenian descent, and tries to be friends with both Turkey (a NATO ally), and Armenia.
In 2007 a proposal[18] to denounce the genocide was heatedly debated in the U.S. Congress, with the State Department and White House warning that passage would seriously damage relations between the U.S. and Turkey. the resolution did not pass, and President Obama visited Turkey in 2009 without incident. Later, in 2019, both houses of Congress recognized the genocide.[19]

Talaat Pasha, the powerful Ottoman interior minister during World War I, certainly didn't disguise his objective. "The Government . . . has decided to destroy completely all the indicated [Armenians] persons living in Turkey," he brusquely reminded officials in Aleppo in a September 1915 dispatch. "An end must be put to their existence . . . and no regard must be paid to either age or sex, or to conscientious scruples."US Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, flooded with accounts of the torture, death marches, and butchery being inflicted on the Armenians, remonstrated with Talaat to no avail. "It is no use for you to argue," Morgenthau was told. "We have already disposed of three quarters of the Armenians. . . . The hatred between the Turks and Armenians is now so intense that we have got to finish them. If we don't, they will plan their revenge. . . . We will not have the Armenians anywhere in Anatolia."

Am I Messing Up My Kids?
"'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.'" John 9:3 (NIV)
Okay, moms, let's get gut honest today. Have you ever had these thoughts tug at the corners of your mind: What have I done wrong? Am I messing up my kids?
I've had two in depth conversations this week with friends and the same theme wove throughout both conversations. Our kids sometimes struggle and when they do, often our first thought is what have I done wrong as a mother? Maybe a lot of us moms have this worry that we are somehow messing up our kids.
Certainly good can come from a healthy assessment of how we're doing in our crucial role as moms. However, when the question comes in the form of a personal assault rather than a call to action over a specific area of improvement- it's not healthy.
It's paralyzing. It's draining. It's defeating.
It's evidence of a hole in the spiritual filter of our mind.
My friend, Holly, and I have been doing something since the beginning of the year that has become an absolute delight to my day. I've been determined to fill my mind with the truth. I figure the more truth I have crowded into that tiny little space I call my mind, the more untruths will get crowded out.
So, we've been taking a book of the Bible and going through it slowly- reading one chapter a day. Then we discuss what spoke to us the most.
The other day, before my conversation with one of my friends, I read John 9. One verse jumped out at me and seemed to swirl in my thoughts constantly. John 9:3, "'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.'" The way this verse kept bumping into my conscious thoughts let me know it was crucial that I think on it- pray through it- and let it seep into some deep places needing this truth.
Later when I was talking with a friend, there were little hints of that question- "What have I done wrong as a mother?"
What a delight it was to have that verse right on the top of my mind. Like a healing balm, I soothed my friend with the truth that what her son is going through right now has nothing to do with her mistakes or even his for that matter. God is helping her son work through some fears that will eventually be a mighty display of spiritual depth in his life.
Sweet sister, have you caught yourself asking lately, "What am I doing wrong as a mother?" Maybe, some adjustments do need to made.
Or maybe, this line of thinking should be redirected with a different question- "How might God work in this situation so that His work can be displayed in my child's life or in my life?" Either way, remember this truth- you are loved by God and so is your child.
Dear Lord, help me process my motherhood journey using the filter of Your truth and nothing else. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Am I Messing Up My Kids? by Lysa TerKeurst
Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa TerKeurst
Application Steps:
Find a godly friend who can help you process your struggles with your child without condemnation. Ask this friend to spend some time praying with you and for you. Then offer to do the same with her. You'll know you've found the right friend to do this with when she's not afraid to admit she has some of the same struggles as you.
If you're having a hard time finding a friend who will be honest and vulnerable, ask God to bring this type of friend into your life. In the meantime, check out my blog. I think some of my motherhood stories will make you feel right at home. I'm in the trenches with you sister and I'd love to encourage you in your motherhood journey.
Is there something your child has struggled with lately that made you feel like you've done something wrong as his mother?
Prayerfully ask God if there is anything you can do better as a mom. Also, ask Him to help you see all that you've done right as a mom and how to accept that some of your child's struggles have nothing to do with your actions at all.
Then, spend some time in prayer asking God how He is working in this situation.

TransUnion Stays Mum
Just under 6 weeks ago I began the process of ordering my free credit reports from Equifax and TransUnion. Things went fairly smoothly with Equifax but TransUnion has been a tough nut to crack.
I was able to order my Equifax report by phone, and I've since mailed in a request to have some errors be corrected. Equifax replied by mail with an update that corrected most of the errors. (They still list a comic phonetic spelling of the name of one of my past employers, but I don't think this will cause me trouble.)
TransUnion hasn't replied at all. I tried to request my credit report by phone and was told I'd have to mail in a request. I mailed in a request carefully following the directions and haven't heard back. They didn't even mail me something to say that they wouldn't release the information.
I suppose that they might have incorrect information about me that prevents them from adequately authenticating my identity. So, on one level I'm glad they don't just release information about me to just anyone. On the other hand, I seem to be out of ways to get my credit report from them. The likelihood that they have incorrect information about me is troubling as well.
Their web site provided no help with how I might resolve this problem other than to offer the possibility of showing up to one of their offices in person. The nearest location is more than 2 hours from where I live. I can't shake the feeling that if I agreed to pay for online access to my credit file this issue would get resolved, but I have no evidence that this is true.
5 comments:
Well, last time I got my report from TU, it took them like 8 weeks to send it (vs. ~2-3 for Equifax). So it might just be in the pipe.ReplyDelete
@Potato: Thanks for the data point. Equifax sent mine to me in less than one week. I like the idea of it still being in the pipe because that means I don't have to do anything :-)ReplyDelete
When I sent for my free reports (I used the mail in forms for both Equifax and Transunion) I had the opposite experience.ReplyDelete
The TU report got to me about 5 business days later, and absolutely nothing from Equifax.
I'm not sure about the last part of your post... I do pay (annually) for my full report, so I should have been considered a repeat customer with Equifax. Still... nothing.
@Myke: Since I wrote about my experiences with getting free credit reports I've heard many stories from other people. There seems to be no discernible pattern of successes or failures. You might try the telephone method of getting your Equifax report. That is what worked for me.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the reply, Michael.ReplyDelete
2010 was the first time I had a problem with either agency. I get the free reports every summer, and always received them promptly.
To tell the truth, I wonder if the issue wasn't Canada Post. I have had a terrible year or so with them (things not arriving, a package that was obviously caught in some sort machine with the contents missing etc.)
I live in Japan, so I've always used the post, as the time difference and waiting on hold has always annoyed me. I may use the phone method from here-on-in, though. Thanks.

The Georgia General Assembly officially wrapped up the 2013 legislative session at midnight Thursday, March 28, when we adjourned "Sine Die!"
The last week of session and the final day were long, productive and full of lively debate. Many of the bills voted on by the House last week included motions to insist, motions to agree and motions to disagree. These actions are taken when legislation is changed by the Senate, or vice versa.
There was a significant amount of deliberation and agreement, with many bills passing both chambers. For those bills that did not pass, the process begins again during next year's legislative session. For the legislation that passed both the House and Senate this session, the final fate lies in the hands of Gov. Deal, who can either sign the passed legislation into law, let the legislation become law without his signature or veto the legislation and prevent it from becoming law.
The most significant piece of legislation passed was the state budget. The fiscal year 2014 budget, House Bill 106, was in conference committee last week, and an agreement was reached on the $19.9 billion state budget Thursday. The House passed the budget conference committee report around 8 p.m. Thursday with only one dissenting vote, while the Senate unanimously passed it the same day.
In an effort to stop those individuals in our state illegally from taking advantage of public benefits designed for our citizens and legal immigrants, legislation was passed to address this issue. Senate Bill 160 prevents illegal immigrants from obtaining public benefits, such as state driver's licenses, grants and/or retirement benefits. The bill was amended by the House on March 25, and a conference committee was appointed with both House and Senate members. This legislation, similar to HB 125, was agreed upon by the committee and adopted by both chambers, with the House passing the committee report, 113-53, on Thursday. Under the legislation, a foreign passport will not be able to be used as identification to obtain public benefits unless the passport indicates the individual's legality.
This legislation also requires county, state and government agencies with more than two employees to use the free E-Verify system for all contractors to verify legal immigrants. This bill went to Gov. Deal for his consideration into law.
The gun debate is in full force in states across our country. With school shootings last year, the dispute has been whether to make gun regulations more or less stringent for legal gun owners. Legislation addressing and defending our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in Georgia did not pass through conference committee this session. Two bills, HB 512 and Senate Bill 101, passed each respective chamber. However, the committee was not able to forge an agreement prior to midnight Thursday. The main disagreement concerned the provision on campus-carry and whether or not to allow licensed gun owners to carry their concealed firearms while on campus at our state universities and technical colleges. I expect to see additional gun legislation debated again during the next legislative session.
Legislation I sponsored this session went to the governor's desk, awaiting his action. I sponsored HB 318, which makes changes to the Georgia Tourism Development Act. I have spent the past eight years working on this legislation, which creates incentives that will help build new tourism attractions or expand existing tourism attractions in Georgia. With the creation of the Invest Georgia Fund and the Invest Georgia Board, this legislation will foster investment of early stage and growth-stage businesses through venture capital investment.
Also passed was another bill I sponsored, HB 193, which extends an expired sales-tax exemption for federally qualified health-care centers, volunteer-health clients, Goodwill, food banks and food donated for hunger and disaster relief.
I sponsored SB 177 in the House, authored by Sen. Ginn of Danielsville. The bill passed with only one dissenting vote. This legislation will change the membership of the Georgia Tourism Foundation so there will be at least nine members (no more than 20), with two members each appointed by the both the chairman of the Senate and House Economic Development and Tourism committees, three members by the Board of Economic Development and the remainder appointed by the governor.
Ethics legislation also passed both chambers and went to the governor for his signature. During the final weekly update wrap-up, I will discuss this passed legislation in detail.
With the conclusion of the 2013 Legislative Session, next week will be my final weekly update highlighting the major accomplishments for this session, as well as some of the legislation already signed into law. I look forward to getting back to our district and encourage you to contact me with your ideas and opinions, or if I can be of service to you in any way.
If you would like to reach me, please call me at 404-656-5099; write me at: State Rep. Ron Stephens, 226 CAP, State Capitol, Atlanta, GA 30334; or email me at email@example.com.

This website has been created to mark progress on my masters' thesis project at Georgetown University. It is a work-in-progress.
I first began collecting Palestine posters when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco in the mid-1970s. By 1980 I had acquired about 300 Palestine posters. A small grant awarded with the aid of the late Dr. Edward Said allowed me to organize them into an educational slideshow to further the "third goal" of the Peace Corps: to promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. Over the ensuing years, while running my design company, Liberation Graphics, the number of internationally published Palestine posters I acquired steadily grew. Today the archives include some 3,000 Palestine posters from myriad sources making it what many library science specialists say is the largest such archives in the world.
The Palestine poster genre dates back to around 1900 and, incredibly, more Palestine posters are designed, printed and published today than ever before. Unlike most of the political art genres of the twentieth century such as those of revolutionary Cuba and the former Soviet Union, which have either died off been abandoned or become artifacts, the Palestine poster genre continues to evolve. Moreover, the emergence of the Internet has exponentially expanded the genre's network of creative contributors and amplified the public conversation about contemporary Palestine.
My research has two major components:
(1) the creation of a web-based archives to display all the Palestine posters in a searchable format with each poster translated and interpreted; and
(2) the development of a curriculum using the Palestine poster as a key resource for teaching the formative history of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict in American high schools. This aspect of my work is viewable in my New Curriculum
To facilitate my research I have arbitrarily broken the genre of the Palestine poster into four sources, or wellsprings. These wellsprings are:
1) Zionist and Israeli artists and agencies\r\n2) Palestinian nationalist artists and agencies
3) Arab and Muslim artists and agencies
4) International artists and agencies
For the purpose of this research project, the following definition of a "Palestine†poster applies:
1) Any poster with the word "Palestine†in it, in any language, from any source or time period;
2) Any poster created or published by any artist claiming Palestinian nationality;
3) Any poster published in the geographical territory of historic Palestine, at any point in history, including contemporary Israel;
4) Any poster published by any source which relates directly to the social, cultural, political, or economic structure of historic Palestine; and/or
5) Any poster that relates to the subjects of Zionism or anti-Zionism, from any source, after August, 1897.
The majority of posters in the archives are printed on paper. An increasing number of Palestine posters are created as \"computer generated images\" (CGI). Electronic, digitally created images included in this archives meet these requirements: they are capable of being downloaded and printed out at a size at least as large as 18†X 24†and they deal substantially with the subject of Palestine. Computer generated images will be identified as such.
I am uploading posters in what may appear to be a haphazard order; this seemingly random order is a reflection of the way in which the posters were originally collected, stored, and preserved on CDs. As time and funds permit, I will be uploading the entire archives.
I want to specifically thank the following people without whose assistance I would not have been able to even begin this research: Dr. Lena Jayyusi, for both her thorough critique of the New Curriculum as well as her steadfast moral support over many years; Dr. Rochelle Davis, my academic advisor at Georgetown who gave me the freedom to explore the questions of most interest to me all the while reinforcing the highest academic standards; Catherine Baker, who has provided creative, editorial and moral support of incalculable value to me and to whom I am forever indebted; Dr. Eric Zakim, the director of the Joseph and Alma Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies at the University of Maryland at College Park whose translations of the Hebrew text in the Zionist poster wellspring and whose breadth of knowledge of Zionist history and iconography proved indispensable; and Richard Reinhard whose early and complete review of the New Curriculum helped keep me on schedule and in focus. Special thanks are also due Jenna Beveridge, the Academic Program Coordinator at Georgetown's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, without whose guidance through the halls of academia I would have been hopelessly lost.
There are, in addition, legions of people who over the years have encouraged me to persevere in this work. I will make it a point to thank them at regular intervals in the progress of this project.

Straight US Army Soldier Attempts To Take His First Bareback Cock
We have some familiar faces back this week on Active Duty. Straight Army soldier Ricky is back and it's only the second time he has ever had a cock in his mouth. Ricky is paired up with another hung Army solider, Michael, who is amazed at how well Ricky sucks cock, especially since it's only the second time he has ever done it. After some hot cock sucking, both of these big Army cocks are standing at attention. Michael has agreed to bottom for this scene, and it's the first time he will have ever had a cock up his ass. Ricky tries shoving his big raw cock up Michael's ass, but it's just too tight. They try again several times, but no matter how hard Ricky tries to get his raw cock inside of Michael's virgin ass, it just won't stay in. So, instead of fucking, the two sit back on the couch and they both stroke their cocks in unison until they are both leaking with precum. Michael is the first to jizz, which he does all over himself. Ricky shoots shortly after and gets on his knees to shoot hot cum all over the floor. Even though the bareback fucking was unsuccessful, the cock sucking and jerking off and cum show is definitely hot. Make sure to check them out!

We were all set to go to the rare plant fair at Tregrehan in Cornwall last Sunday. My train was booked months ago, the was itinerary planned and a wish-list written. Then two highly predictable things happened: I purchased a whole heap of plants elsewhere on Saturday (good ones too …. see below for details) and then it poured with rain on Sunday morning. So instead of buying plants I didn't have the space for and getting wet in the process we stayed local and went back to Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
Through sheets of fine, sideways rain – a Cornish speciality – we were surprised to find that the carpark was full. It turns out everyone was in the restaurant, and who could blame them? It's excellent. So we shared the garden with just a handful of German ladies who had dressed for inclement weather and returned to the restaurant for lunch just as the sun came out.
Tremenheere is one of those gardens where it helps to know what you are looking at. From a design and layout point of view it is not exceptional, although the view towards St Michael's Mount from higher ground are panoramic and beautiful. Sculptures add much needed punctuation points to an informal garden that lacks a fine house to anchor it.
For me this garden is all about the microclimate and the plants that flourish in it. From a shaded, babbling brook to open, sunbaked terraces, Tremenheere is jam-packed with fascinating plants quietly doing their own thing. None of them are labelled, which I would usually find frustrating. To avoid irritation I've turned each visit into a test of my plant knowledge – 'what sort of 'panax' is that?'; 'is it a magnolia or a michelia, or are they all the same thing nowadays?' You know how the game goes. Lately The Beau has started to join in, which makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable and, dare I say, slightly competitive.
Below are just five of the treasures we particularly admired on this visit and which I'd recommend to you if you have the right conditions to grow them.
1) Saxifraga stolonifera (creeping saxifrage)
I know Saxifraga stolonifera well having grown it in London when I lived in town. My clump never looked this good though. I suspect that's because it revels in damp rather than dry shade. At Tremenheere it's used to terrific effect as a groundcover, often planted on sheltered, sloping ground. Although it spreads by runners or 'stolons', just like a strawberry does, it is not invasive or weedy. Left alone it will cover as much or as little ground as you wish. The flowers are divinely delicate; each one reminds me of the angel that goes on top of a Christmas tree. A few sprays would make an ethereal addition to a wedding bouquet.
Where to buy – Edrom Nursery (N.B. Beware the very high prices being charged by some online retailers. There's no need to pay this much for a plant that multiplies relatively quickly. If you can't get a plantlet from a gardening friend, wait until later in summer when nurseries like Edrom have produced saleable stock.) Plants are also available to buy from Tremenheere's on-site nursery at the time of writing.
2) Wachendorfia thyrsiflora (red root)
This statuesque, large-scale plant is a must for almost frost-free gardens. In my opinion it's better placed somewhere informal as the clumps of pleated leaves can get a little scraggy over time. In late spring and early summer long torches of yellow flower emerge and keep coming over a period of weeks. Wachendorfia thrysiflora prefers damp, even marshy conditions, but must have its head in the sun. At Tremenheere it's planted on a sunny slope, where it must rely on water filtering down from higher ground.
Where to buy – Burncoose Nurseries. Large plants are also available to buy from Tremenheere's on-site nursery at the time of writing.
3) Decaisnea fargesii (dead man's fingers)
What a headache this plant gave me. I knew I knew the name, but try as I may to confirm my identification I could find no reference to it anywhere. Turns out I was spelling Decaisnea incorrectly, which is easily done. Anyway, here we have a rather unusual shrub, known more for its creepy finger-like fruits that its elegant racemes of green flowers. Decaisnea fargesii produces both male and female flowers. Each female flower contains three separate carpels and therefore produces a 'hand' of three distinctive 'fruitlets'. It's these bluish-black, finger-shaped fruitlets covered in skin-like peel which have earned Decaisnea fargesii its ghoulish common name, dead man's fingers.
There is some debate about whether the Chinese D. fargesii is one and the same species as the Indian D. insignis, only with blue fruits rather than yellow. (D. insignis is nowhere near as common in cultivation. The common name 'monkey shit tree' probably does not help matters.) Found growing wild at high altitudes, Decaisnea fargesii is hardy enough to be grown outdoors in the UK. Use the fruits as Halloween decorations, if you dare!
Where to buy – Bluebell Nursery & Arboretum, or, if you fancy growing from seed, try Chiltern Seeds.
4) Schefflera delavayi
Impressive, would be one word to describe this enormous Schefflera. Huge leaves, bigger than a dustbin lid when mature, suggest Shefflera delavayi might not be hardy, when in fact it's at least as tough as commonly grown Fatsia japonica. Plants will reach quite a size in time (12ft+), the one at Tremenheere being as wide as it is high, lolloping across the woodland floor in search of dappled sunlight. If I had a large, woodland garden Schefflera delavayi would be one of the first shrubs I'd plant, not just for splendid, glossy foliage, but for the bristly panicles of ivory flowers that appear in summer and autumn.
Where to buy – Crûg Farm Plants
5) Impatiens stenantha (narrow-flowered balsam)
Every time I visit Tremenheere I am forced past a lush clump of this small-flowered Busy Lizzie relative. It sprouts from the top and sides of a moss-covered boulder, producing clusters of yellow, red-speckled flowers. Native to the mountains of Nepal and Bhutan, Impatiens stenantha feels at home in the cool, wet, West Country and prefers a good degree of shade. Unlike the summer bedding variety, this impatiens is hardy to -15ºC if planted in the ground and mulched. It will die down and obligingly reappear in spring.
Where to buy – Growild Nursery
The irony of last weekend is that I purchased at least as many plants at Treemenheere as I would have done at Tregrehan, so my attempt at abstinence failed entirely. The Beau, when next he visits Broadstairs, will need to convert his mini into a greenhouse on wheels. He had better get used to it. TFG.
I'd love to hear what plants you've indulged in over the last few days. Were they planned or purchased on impulse? Did you have room for them or not? Do share your moments of weakness … it will make me feel a lot better.
The Damage
- Agave iophantha 'Quadricolour' (Tremenheere / Surreal Succulents)
- Agave iophantha (Tremenheere / Surreal Succulents)
- Lonicera hildebrandiana, the giant Burmese honeysuckle (Tremenheere)
- Agapetes serpens 'Red Elf' (Cross Common Nursery)
- Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Rose Sensation' (Cross Common Nursery)
- Iochroma coccinea fuchsioides (Cross Common Nursery)
- Ampelopsis brevipendiculata 'Elegans', variegated porcelain berry (Cross Common Nursery)
- Linaria 'Spanish Dancer' (from a garden gate in Gunwalloe)
- Fuchsia 'Thalia' (as above)
- Costus erythrophyllus 'Rubra' (a very lovely gift from The Beau)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – With a quick flick of his wrists, Jarret Stoll sent the Los Angeles Kings on to face St. Louis in the second round — and the Vancouver Canucks into the offseason a lot sooner than they expected after topping the NHL in the regular season.
Stoll beat Cory Schneider at 4:27 of overtime to give Los Angeles a 2-1 victory over Vancouver on Sunday night, knocking out the top-seeded Canucks in five games in the Western Conference first-round series.
"It's special," Stoll said. "It's pride in the organization, and your team and your teammates and coaching staff. They're a great team over there, it took a lot to beat them."
Stoll scored from the left wing after a turnover at Vancouver blue line. The forward skated in on a 2-on-1, but took the shot himself, picking the top-left corner above Schneider's blocker.
"I was shooting all the way there," Stoll said. "I had a lot of room up top. I knew I had a 2-on-1. I knew that. But I didn't even look twice."
Brad Richardson tied it for Los Angeles at 3:21 of the third period, and Jonathan Quick made 26 saves.
"To close out this series, for me personally, and a few guys in the room, it's something we've never done, so it's a great feeling," Quick said.
The Kings will play the second-seeded St. Louis Blues in the second round.
"You've got to give credit to the Kings," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "They played a real great series, a real tough opponent, played strong hockey, made the strong plays on the ice and, at the end of the day, they deserved to win."
Vancouver was the third President's Trophy winner in four years to be knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. Washington lost to Montreal in the first round in 2009-10 and San Jose fell to Anaheim in the 2008-09 opening round.
While Vancouver had expected a deep Cup run, the Kings don't see this series victory as anything more than the first step for them.
"It probably means a lot more to other people being a big upset and them being the Presidents' Trophy winner," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "For this team it was what we were going for the whole time."
Henrik Sedin opened the scoring for Vancouver with a power-play goal in the first period.
Schneider made 35 saves in his third straight start after Roberto Luongo lost the first two games.
"We had expectations and hopes to go far in this playoff," Schneider said. "It seems like around the league, parity is running wild. Look at Pittsburgh, ourselves, Detroit, San Jose. New York's facing elimination, Boston held it off today. We can't take anything for granted. Anyone is capable of winning in this league."
The Canucks dropped out in the first round after leading the NHL in regular-season points for the second straight year. Last season, they lost to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.
"To be honest, it doesn't matter if you lose the seventh game of the finals or you lose in five in the first round, it's devastating," Daniel Sedin said. "We have the mindset to win every year. When you end up on the losing side it's tough."
Vancouver's new second line of Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows and Max Lapierre made a quick impression. Burrows fed Kesler from behind the net about a 90 seconds in, but Quick stopped the center's shot from the slot.
The Canucks then ran into early penalty trouble and didn't get another shot for 6 minutes before Lapierre put one on Quick. Vancouver killed penalties to Dan Hamhuis and Henrik Sedin, but couldn't get its power play going on its first advantage.
However, with Henrik Sedin double-shifting, the Canucks capitalized on the second when the Vancouver captain put in a cross-ice pass from Daniel Sedin with 5:56 left in the period.
The opportunity came after Hamhuis kept Mike Richards' clearing attempt in at the blue line.
Schneider preserved the lead when he stopped Anze Kopitar on a breakaway in the dying seconds of the first period. Kopitar put the rebound off the post as time expired.
Both goaltenders stole the show in the second period as neither team could score.
In the early going, Schneider stopped Kopitar's first shot and Brown on the rebound as the Kings outshot the Canucks 6-0 in the first 4:11.
Later, Schneider robbed Richards on a rebound, snaring the puck with his catching glove. With just over 2 minutes left in the second, Quick stymied Daniel Sedin on a breakaway, lowering his right pad to block a snap shot. Sedin slammed his stick against the glass in frustration as he went to the bench.
Richardson drew the Kings even in the third, tapping in a pass from Drew Doughty. Doughty deked and circled around the Canucks' Keith Ballard and passed the puck back to Richardson from the end line. It was the first goal of the series for Richardson, who missed the first three games while recovering from an appendectomy.
"Dewey just made a great play, had some good patience turning the D wide and made Schneider kind of commit," Richardson said. "(Schneider) thought he was shooting, so he just sent it in front. Me, I was going to the net with my stick on the ice."
Notes: The Canucks made just one lineup change, inserting winger Dale Weise in place of Zack Kassian, who was the principal acquisition in the trade that sent Cody Hodgson to Buffalo at the Feb. 27 deadline. ... Vancouver defenseman Sami Salo played his 100th career playoff game.

One resident, Felton, pointed out that we lead in highway engineering, so why not leverage that knowledge base? He describes trains as a 150-year-old technology and suggests we would better apply dollars in developing buses, smart roads and so on.
I do recall a speech by California's Director of Transportation, circa 2000. He said that the state's rising population, coupled with its rising property values, meant that highways were no longer cost-efficient. We'd invest in improvements but building new freeways was not prudent.
I'd like to hear thoughts on roads and their role in our transportation future.
I'm glad that Margaret, another Menlo Park local, supports Caltrain. I do wonder if she has taken the rush-hour baby bullets or expresses. The latter can reach San Francisco in about 35 minutes. As for the old rattling cars, I'm afraid they'll be with us until Caltrain electrifies in a few years. It's worthwhile looking at the line's plans for electrification.

A recipe for rabbit - Lapin a la Chasseur and the beautiful village of L'Isle Sur la Sorgue
49 comments:
What a coincidence, I just made rabbit for dinner yesterday. I like it, but don't cook it so often because my husband complains there isn't enough meat there :)))ReplyDelete
This recipe looks absolutely delicious.
I loved reading your 'rabbit' tale Sam as I do like a good rabbit and mustard sauce. I shall try your recipe. Bistro Decouverte is one of my favourites too...sadly they are on holiday at the moment - I could quite do with a dinner there! xvReplyDelete
Lovely pics – and that rabbit looks scrumptious (or delicieux!).ReplyDelete
Sam, what a wonderful story and beautiful photographs.ReplyDelete
This post brought back memories of my grandfather, also from South Carolina; who built rabbit traps as a hobby but also for their intended catch. Once in a while he would fix the best "rabbit stew" that would slow cook for hours using several large rewards of his work.
The other caught rabbits were just move down the road from his unbelievable vegetable garden behind his house. That was the main reason for building the traps.
Your dish looks very similar to granddad's, which I will have to make some time. Thanks for the memories...
One of my favorite places !! It really was magical the day we went..I will always love that place..There are songs in my head.. Had I been to St-Rémy and met dear people like you that cooked rabbit one night in their resto and told me..I would want it again also..Well done!ReplyDelete
wow I am just loving all those pictures and wish I could be there!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing these treasured memories with us Sam and for a delicieux lapin.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful place. I also enjoyed the rabbit story to go with the photos. I have not had rabbit in a very long time. We used to have a restuarant here called the Rabbit Hutch. All they served was rabbit. It was way out in the country too!ReplyDelete
oh my hubby would love thisReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures and the recipe sounds delicious indeed!ReplyDelete
I LOVE l'Isle sur la Sorgue and have bought quite a number of things there at the "brocante"; and I love le Lapin chasseur et le lapin a la moutarde. Perfect post. I am going to hunt down some rabbit-no pun intended- and follow the recipe this weekend. MERCI quelle bonne idee!!!ReplyDelete
I ate a lot of rabbit as a kid and I lost my taste for it but you made it looks so good and the story to go with it has me yearning for rabbit once again!ReplyDelete
You have an appetizing picture of Lapin Chasseur there. I used to cook rabbit often as my husband was un chasseur (hunter.) It is very easy to cook if the pieces have been cut. Actually I would use the same recipe to cook squirrels. I would either cook the lapin rouge or lapin blanc. Lapin blanc was like lapin chasseur which is with white wine, small onions and mushroom. Lapin rouge was with red wine, potatoes and some carrots. My mother would make it this way: Fry some chopped shallot in a mixture of oil and butter, remove. Coat rabbit pieces in flour mixed with herbes de Provence and fry until a golden colour then pour some cognac on it and light it. Then pour some flour on the pieces, turn then well and slowly add some broth and red wine. Add the shallot, salt and pepper. Cover and cook for about 45 minutes or less, add little potatoes or potatoes cut in chunks, little pieces of carrots, and cook until tender, add parsley for garniture. You can buy frozen rabbits here but they are a bit expensive.ReplyDelete
My father being a hunter, and on my aunts farm wild hare was always jumping pass, so out came the gun (remember Texas ha!)...I was not fond until I began cooking it myself. This sounds and looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
I did find a source for it last year here in Jersey, and I just made sausage from it last week, was good braised in red wine and potatoes!
Your story is wonderful too, as we had a pet rabbit that we were afraid my father would let go for the sport...

I had rabbit once at a restaurant and they obviously did not do a good job with it, because it was dry and tasted kind of wild. I've eaten venison a lot in Africa and loved it, but this rabbit meat I did not like.ReplyDelete
Maybe I should give it another try, but pick a restaurant that knows what they are doing!
Your rabbit looks delicious - I wnjoyed the story and the pictures too!ReplyDelete
The recipe sounds wonderful. Bob loves rabbit, so it will be put to quick use here. Your photos are wonderful,Sam. I'm developing a serious case of wanderlust. have a great day.ReplyDelete
The dinner looks excellent. I have never had rabbits. Not sure how they tastes. But with this little recipe, I am willing to give things a try :)ReplyDelete
Excellent story too :)
Yes, very delicious indeed!ReplyDelete
Sam, I have never tried rabbit, but my father taught me to try all foods and give them a chance. I've eaten frog legs, gator tail, rattle snake, tongue, emu, reindeer meatballs, etc. When you stop and think about it, escargots actually sounds scarier to eat than rabbit, but I love escargots!ReplyDelete
Loved this story and all of your others, too.
Sheila :-)
We used to spend some part of our summers in northern Michigan and there was a market in a little town called Boyne City that always carried rabbit. My mother told me to season it then fry it in butter, so that's the way I served it to my kids back then.ReplyDelete
I haven't seen rabbit in a market for a long time. Wonder if I can still get it anyplace around here?
Love your recipe and who could improve on anything Jean-Georges did?
Super photos, I so enjoyed traveling with you!
Oh my goodness... this town is perfect, and the recipe... so very French!ReplyDelete
I have never had rabbit I don't believe I've ever seen it offered in stores here, but then, I've never really looked for it. It certainly looks delicious and I loved reading your story of that beautiful village in France.ReplyDelete

Wonderful! I like lapin but have not made it at home yet, need to try soon! Last year when we were eating in Studio in CA there were so many rabbits right outside our window and we really hoping to have one on a menu that night :)ReplyDelete
I have never eaten rabbit but, I would certainly welcome the opportunity.ReplyDelete
Ths was a really lovely post.
two times in as many days I hear about people eating rabbit. I've never even seen it (other than in its warm blooded fuzzy form) around here. I don't know if I can do it...LOL. Does it taste like chicken? hahahaReplyDelete
btw... beautiful pictures!
Sam, thanks for your comment on my blog. I enjoy rabbit too. What I wonder is why the first one you cooked, à la moutarde, came out dry, while the others have been better. What did you do differently? Is it a question of cooking time? Maybe the first rabbit was a just tough old specimen.ReplyDelete
I cooked a rabbit last weekend but unfortunately it was a rather tough bunny! I absolutely love Isle sur la Sorgue and always make a point of visiting the Sunday market when in Provence. I was last there in September when we had a weekend away for our wedding anniversary. The market is wonderful.ReplyDelete
I love impressionists. I don't know who this Claude Money fellow you talk about is, but Rich Little was hilarious back in the day and that Frank Caliendo feller is pretty funny with his impressions. (ha!)ReplyDelete
I've never had rabbit and hope not to, ha ha. I do remember an episode of Man vs Wild in which Bear Gryls (sp?) caught one and while eating it said that he ate the bones because the rabbit meat itself was lacking in a certain vitamin or mineral. I'm pretty sure he wasn't at Bistro Decoverte, though ;)
I love the French journey you have taken us on these post couple posts. It's how I discovered your blog and I love it when you come back to it! I am not afraid to eat rabbit. It can be a bit of work (bones) but it's tasty and oh so French this way. But I have never prepared rabbit. GREGReplyDelete
I think I've only tried rabbit once and was pleasantly surprised. It's not the sort of thing you can easily find on suburban Long Island, but sometimes it is on the menu in a NYC restaurant. The idea of mustard and pearl onions is making my mouth water, already. Beautiful photos, Sam.ReplyDelete
Dearest Sam,ReplyDelete
You would be soooo ashamed of me. I am such a hypocrite, I don't eat rabbit. And, yes I do eat all sorts of other cute animals. I think it's because I see them in my garden.
That's not entirely true, when served lapin chez mes amis of course I eat it and don't say a word and, ok, yes, it's good.
There, I've bared my soul and you will think much the less of me now. Tell me what I could take your sublime recipe to and substitute something else -- or completely ignore me. . .
Love the pictures.
Warmest regards,
I'm dreaming about visiting those places that you feature on your blog. Hope it will be soon.ReplyDelete
I made a rabbit ragu from La Cucina Italiana last winter and it was delicious, other than that, have never attempted it like they prepare it in France, but it is delicious!
I have never tried rabbit but your dish looks wonderful. I love the story of the little girl too!ReplyDelete
The pictures are beautiful and I so enjoyed the story of the little girl and the grandmother. I've never tried rabbit, but would if I happened to be in Saint-Remy. I know that I would love it, especially served with a mustard sauce. Kudos to you for trying it at home, it looks like a very succulent dish!ReplyDelete
Amazing, My Hubs is a huge hunter and some of the guys were talking about Rabbit tonight. Great looking recipe. I sahred an award with you today. Pop over and see. @ mamabirdnest.comReplyDelete
My husband ordered rabbit at a restaurant once. I've never been able to bring myself to try it. I've heard it's good and your recipe certainly does look delightful. Someday...ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, dear Sam, for these wonderful excursions into the French countryside ( I read your previous post too)!ReplyDelete
My mother made rabbit all the time, my parents had them on the farm. I remember it being always a delicious meal. Do I still eat rabbit? No! Every now and then there would be rabbit available at the local Safeway in DC, I looked at those cute little rabbit parts and just could not bring myself to take them home and cook them. No such mercy with chicken or lamb. Human nature reacts strange at times!
Growing into adulthood in Italy was accompanied by capretto for Passover and Easter, always a delicacy, but nowadays I would be hesitant to eat baby goat! Thank goodness, Austrians stick to lamb . ;-)
Sam, I have prepared rabbit but the Italian way! I hope to post my recipe this Friday. The first time I ate it is was in Pisa, Italy, and it was so delicious I yearned for it over the years. When I finally found am Italian market that sold cleaned rabbit meat and I could make my own I was so happy!ReplyDelete
I will try your recipe next time. It sounds delicious!
That's one I haven't made....yet. Its on my to do....and love the deliciuex story!ReplyDelete
Sam, lovely pictures...I enjoyed very much all of them...and the rabbit dish sure looks delicious and very tasty :-)ReplyDelete
It has been a long time since I made rabbit. Will have to try your recipe. I also have a wanderlust looking at your beautiful pictures. I am planning a tentative trip to Paris and Provence the summer after this. Will surely visit this village.ReplyDelete
Not adverse to cooking rabbit - just - never had. Although my Italian relatives kept rabbits just for that purpose. Imagine how horrified I was at age 9 to discover they were not "pets!" You do find small quantities of rabbit meat here in the grocers and huge quantities in my backyard! Yours is indeed delicieux! And the non-food photos are equally mouth-watering.ReplyDelete
I've never made rabbit - looks tasty! And sure does make me want to go to France!ReplyDelete
Ahhh! You've made my heart long for Provence already! I was lucky to visit L'Ilse Sur La Sorgue, Bistro Decoverte and the morning market at Saint Remy!ReplyDelete
I love Provence! What a wonderful post - and I have never seen rabbit look so delectable. I do enjoy preparing it, but rarely do as it is not so easily accessible here. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will use it - but it has to be on a cool night with a fire burning. It looks like a cozy dish for the fall...ReplyDelete
What a lovely village! And how lucky that you ran into them and were able to try to their rabbit dish.ReplyDelete
I will be daydreaming about l'Isle Sur la Sorgue! What a beautiful town - what is that yellow building alongside the canal? As for lapin, I've had it only on two occasions and loved them both (one was at the lovely Cafe Alsace in Decatur, GA). As I'm only beginning to master cooking lamb, I won't push my luck by trying to make rabbit at this time. But you've certainly sparked a craving!ReplyDelete

Job Search Tips for Boomers
How much is enough? Understanding Internet Speed and What You Need to Get the Job Done
With so many options for Internet speed, sometimes it can be difficult to determine how much is enough and how much is more than you'll ever need in a lifetime.
Taking Risks
In January I was selected by CBS News The Early Show to be one of four job seekers featured in a series focused on job hunting in our very troubled economy. Last week The Early Show told my story of the "older" worker along with that of the other three.
How to Start your Civilian Job Search
If you separated from the military more than 10 years ago, you probably missed going through the Department of Defense Transition Assistance Program. It was created in reaction to the major "down-sizing" of forces in the 1990s.
Working for the Health of It
Is working good for your health? If Mick Jaggar can rock well into his 60s, then there must be something good with staying on the job.
Associations provide Networking and Career Connections
Just about every profession or trade has an association of practicing members, or so it seems. That could be a slight exaggeration but there are thousands of associations, each exists to advocate for a specific profession or trade.
Handling Age Discrimination in Your Job Search
Recently several job seekers over 40 have written to us with the complaint that they feel they have lost out on job opportunities because of their age. In many cases, they may be correct.
The Workplace Is Going Grey
A popular perception in the workplace has always been that employers were all too eager to offer early retirement packages to encourage older workers to step aside because of their salary and benefit costs to the company. That perception may be on the way out, as the greying of the baby-boomer generation is poised to leave American companies short-handed.
Boomers: You Need to Rethink Seeking Full Time Jobs With Gen Xers
In my coaching practice, I often hear complaints from job seekers over 50 regarding not being considered for a full-time position by a Gen Xer. Here I provide my observations as well as six important steps you can take to find work with the Gen Xers.
Resume Basics: Chronological or Functional Style?
As you begin your job search process, one of the most important tasks you will do is to prepare a resume. The resume is a key marketing tool and should be prepared with great thought and care. This is the document that will first introduce you and your credentials to potential employers and, ultimately, to your next employer.
Military to Civilian Résumé: Part 1, Get Started!
When you leave military service and begin your job search, the first thing you must do is create a marketing tool to sell yourself to civilian industries. That tool is your résumé. It's the foundation on which you will build your search for that next job.
Military to Civilian Résumé: Part 2, Expand your Skills List
So far, you've compiled a chronological list of your transferable job skills derived from your military working history and your DD2586. It's OK if it contains military jargon. It's important here that you create your chronological list first, simply based on your history.
Military to Civilian Résumé: Part 3, Training and Achievements
A good résumé is not simply a history of your work experience. It must also show employers what you bring to them in terms of education, training and job-specific accomplishments or recognitions.
7 Secrets to Search-Optimize Your Resume Web Page
Many recruiters feel overwhelmed with unqualified resumes submitted for their job postings. They are reacting by focusing on searching for good (i.e. "qualified") resumes rather than sifting through stacks of unqualified ones. Recruiters DO use Web search engines to find resumes, so your resume Web page should be designed with the search engines in mind.
A Small Investment in your Resume could Pay Off
Most of us have difficulty chronicling the last two weeks, never mind the last 20 or 30 years of our work history. What did I do 10 years ago? What part of that job qualifies me for the job I want now?
4 Ways to Protect Your Job While Job Hunting Online
In the first online recruiting workshop I taught for a major company's recruiters (in 1997 or 1998), we found the resume of one of the company's middle managers in our search for qualified applicants. Her manager was notified, immediately, and she was probably fired before the end of the workshop that same day. That reaction is common.
Smarter Voicemail Messages
You've worked up the courage to call that employer, as we've been suggesting. But, your call is diverted to voicemail. Rats!! Now what?
Employers Monitor Employee Internet & E-Mail Use
Fifty-one percent of employers have disciplined or terminated an employee for violating the employer's Internet or e-mail policy.
12 Tips for Avoiding Spam Filters
The use of software "filters" to stop junk e-mail is growing, and these filters may be damaging your ability to send your resume or a job inquiry through e-mail. Your e-mail may never reach your intended recipient if it gets caught in a filter.
Research Companies before You Accept an Official Interview
In order to be best prepared for any interview, it helps to know which companies you want to work for, or at the least, which companies have the potential to hire you. If you know those two things you can begin to prepare yourself for a truly positive interview.
Don't Blow Your Cover
Over and over, I see job seekers under-estimating the reach of every-day technology and, consequently, sabotaging their own job search. The combination of e-mail, blogs, and search engines can be very dangerous.
Killer Mistake - No Cover Letter
Even with e-mailed resumes, you need a cover "letter" to help the recruiter understand what you want. Over the past few weeks, several recruiters and employers have shared with me their frustration with job seekers who mail or e-mail their resume without a cover letter.
Tips on Telephone Interviewing
It is common these days for employers to begin with a broader selection of candidates based upon their resumes and employ the first round of interviews via telephone. Quite often the job seeker is excited to have caught the recruiter's attention but is a bit unsettled by the prospects of a telephone interview.
Be Prepared and Follow Proper Etiquette for Professional References
While preparing for a full-scale job search, one task is often overlooked until well into the actual search. That task is the identification of professional references.
