The Regiment's Commanding Officers From Rogers to Simcoe (Part One)/
Most people with a passing familiarity with the Queen's York Rangers know that the first Commanding Officer was Robert Rogers. The next most famous commander of the Regiment is John Graves Simcoe. And while both men commanded the Regiment during the American Revolution, Simcoe did not succeed Rogers directly – there were two other Commanding Officers between their tenures. These two men, Christopher French and James Wemyss, are little known officers whose history deserves to be shared. Much of the history of these two men is confused with that of Simcoe, which denies them credit for their achievements. While French, Wemyss and Simcoe all fought at the Battle of Brandywine, only one did so as the commander of the Queen's Rangers.
Rogers had received a provincial commission as a Lieutenant Colonel on the 6th of August, 1776. He quickly filled the ranks of the Queen's American Rangers from amongst Loyalist refugees and others in New York City, bringing his command to full strength by the end of September.
Although nearly all of the recruits had no military experience, Rogers put little effort into training them. This is perhaps a reflection of his own rugged individualism, and his sense that formal military training was less important than experience and sound leadership. Without training, the Regiment did not fare particularly well – for example, losing a company of men during a Rebel attack on their encampment in Mamaroneck, NY on the 22nd of October, 1776.
The Rangers' reputation for ill-discipline was exacerbated by the tasks in which they were employed, primarily the destruction or seizure of any goods of value in rebel held Westchester County. The people of Westchester complained bitterly to the Continental Congress of the wanton looting and destruction waged by the Rangers on their farmsteads.
On the 20th of January, 1777, Lieutenant Colonel Rogers was relieved of command of the Queen's American Rangers by the Inspector General of Provincial Forces, LCol Alexander Innes. While there was no specific incident for which Rogers was relieved, his methods over the preceding few months had irked many in the military establishment. Innes was described by a contemporary as ""a man, whose haughty and supercilious conduct has estranged more minds from His Majesty and the British Govt. than perhaps all the other blunders in the conduct of the American war put together." His assignment to review the state of the Provincial Regiment did not bode well for Rogers.
Innes wrote a letter to Major General Clinton outlining his concerns with the Queen's Rangers, in which he stated that he found them to be in "very great confusion and disorder." In particular, he found that many of the officers recruited by Rogers were not gentlemen – they included tradesmen, a police constable, tavern keepers and at least two brothel owners.
A regular British Army officer, Major Christopher French of the 22nd Regiment of Foot, was appointed to temporarily command the Regiment in his stead. French was an Irishman, and about 50 years old when he took command of the Rangers. He was described as "small in stature with a hard-favoured visage." He had joined the British Army as an ensign in 1744, and served with the 22nd Regiment of Foot in North America during the French and Indian War, ending that conflict as a Captain commanding a company. He fought at the capture of Louisburg and Quebec. In 1776 he was promoted to Major and ordered to proceed from England to rejoin his Regiment in the Thirteen Colonies. The colonies rebelled while he was en route, and he was captured by the Pennsylvania Committee of Safety as his transport travelled up the Delaware River. After consideration by the Committee, which included Benjamin Franklin amongst its members, French, an ensign and several soldiers who were also on board were held prisoner by the rebels. French vigorously contested his capture as illegal and unfair.
French wrote at least eight separate letters to George Washington outlining his case and demanding to be freed (a scan of one of which is attached below). He also complained strenuously to Washington that despite giving his parole, he was being denied the right to continue to wear a sword, as befitted a gentleman! His efforts at convincing Washington and the Continental Congress (to which he also wrote) to release him producing no good results, he decided instead to escape. On his second attempt (on the 27th of December, 1776) he managed to reach British lines and region his Regiment, only a month later being given command of the Rangers.
It took Major French nearly two months to resolve all of the unit's financial issues, as officers were withholding the pay and bounties of their men, amongst other irregularities. Once that was complete, he then turned his attention to his officers – summarily dismissing 26 of them and retaining only 7 of Rogers' original leaders. This group of dismissed officers would continue to petition the British military for many years, complaining that they had been unjustly dismissed and demanding both reinstatement and back pay.
French also worked hard to train the Rangers as a regiment of the line, instilling regular army discipline and continuing to recruit to build its strength. He also managed to supply the Regiment with uniforms for the first time, as up to this point the men continued to wear civilian clothes. It was under French, not Simcoe, that the Regiment began to wear the green jackets for which they are known to this day. Under his command the Rangers continued actively patrolling, and engaged in a number of small skirmishes at the company level with rebel forces.
After having completed these initial reforms, French requested reassignment back to his Regiment, which was granted at the end of April, 1777. Later in the war, he commanded the 52nd Regiment of Foot (including at the Battle of Brandywine), retiring from the army in 1778 and dying at his home in Ireland in 1791.

1 1/2 Cups Organic Ground Coffee (you can grind whole coffee beans in a blender or electric spice grinder)
3 Cups Cold Filtered Water
100g Raw Cashew Nuts, preferably soaked
1/2 Cup Water
Ice cubes
Agave or Coconut Blossom Nectar
Soak the ground coffee in a large bowl with the 3 cups of filtered water for at least 12 hours, but preferably for 24.
After this time, strain the coffee through a fine nut milk or jam straining bag, or simply through kitchen roll stretched tightly over a bowl or jug to gather the coffee.
Make the cashew milk by simply blending together the cashew nuts and water on a high speed, until smooth. Pour through a sieve to get rid of any bits. Cashew nuts are much softer than almonds so this process usually works perfectly well without being strained at all.
In a jug or glass, mix 1/4 cup cold brew coffee, filling the rest of the glass with cashew milk and/or water. You can alter the ratio of coffee to milk depending on your personal taste.
Serve cold with ice cubes, or heat the coffee and cashew milk together in a saucepan and enjoy.
+ Add coconut blossom nectar to sweeten and experiment with cacao, maca and cinnamon to add flavour.
Recipe by Danielle Copperman.

Departed Obama aide Van Jones advises young liberals: My 'rough exit' was worth every second
Van Jones. Van Jones.
The name might ring a bell. Progressive Democrat. Barack Obama supporter. White House advisor on becoming green. For six months. Controversies including reports of signing a petition that 9/11 was actually a government conspiracy.
Of course, after his "rough exit" he landed nicely, as a senior fellow at John Podesta's liberal Center for American Progress.
Jones spoke today to more than 1,000 young liberals and offered laughter and some passionate advice (see C-SPAN video below). Among his tips:
If you were given the same opportunity I was to go and serve for six months, and it was 100% guaranteed that you'd have the same rough exit that I had, do it – it's worth every minute.

(Seattle Times) A 46-year-old Kent man sued Seattle Mayor Ed Murray on Thursday, claiming Murray "raped and molested him" over several years, beginning in 1986 when the man was a 15-year-old high-school dropout.
The lawsuit in King County Superior Court, filed under the man's initials, "D.H.," alleges Murray sexually abused the crack-cocaine addicted teen on numerous occasions for payments of $10 to $20.
"I have been dealing with this for over 30 years," the man, now sober for a year, said in an interview with The Seattle Times.
He said he was coming forward as part of a "healing process" after years of "the shame, the embarrassment, the guilt, the humiliation that I put myself through and that he put me through."

Countdown To Bit Bazaar: Severed/
With Bit Bazaar just a week away, I figured I would do a little countdown towards the big event. I'll dedicate a post to each game that will be at this years' event that is being developed in Toronto (or surrounding areas). Starting with, Severed from DrinkBox Studios.
I've written about Severed before, but if you're not familiar with it, it's essentially a first person hack and slash game, using touch controls for slashes. Check out the trailer below:
The game just looks awesome, and I'm excited to play it next week. Make sure to follow DrinkBox Studios on Twitter.

Night flight to San Francisco. Chase the moon across America.
God! It's been years since I was on a plane!
When we hit thirty-five thousand feet, we'll have reached the tropopause. The great belt of calm air. As close as I'll ever get to the ozone.
I dreamed we were there. The plane leapt the tropopause, the safe air, and attained the outer rim, the ozone, which was ragged and torn, patches of it threadbare as old cheesecloth, and that was frightening.
But I saw something only I could see, because of my astonishing ability to see such things.
Souls were rising, from the earth far below, souls of the dead, of people who had perished, from famine, from war, from the plague, and they floated up, like sky divers in reverse, limbs all akimbo, wheeling and spinning. And the souls of these departed joined hands, clasped ankles, and formed a web, a great net of souls, and the souls were three-atom oxygen molecules, of the stuff of ozone, and the outer rim absorbed them, and was repaired.
Nothing's lost forever. In this world, there is a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead.
At least I think that's so.Harper, it seems, has figured out a little something about reincarnation. I suspect she also knows a little something about the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It only changes form.
Considering Harper's speech also makes me think a bit about Kali, the goddess of eternal energy (and death) and about Ganesha, the god of transitions and remover of obstacles, and about how energy, a constant force shapes and changes us as we, in turn, seek to shape and change it.
In yoga, we learn to breath and to be one with the moment, with what is. We embrace stillness, but our existence is not static. The practice itself is transformative; as breath moves through us, it changes our bodies and minds; it changes our way of being here. As we move through our asana practice, we flow through the transitions, the space between each posture, as much as we move into the posture. Transition compels mindfulness, as does stillness. Being present in the moment can mean being present in a moment of change.

Many things became clear after the Celtics' Game 3 victory of 111 – 108 against the Cavaliers, a game which has lessened Cleveland's domination of a 2 – 0 lead to 2 – 1 in the finals for the Eastern Conference.
Firstly, without LeBron James playing his best game, the Cavaliers really struggle. Second, Marcus Smart can be relied on to provide a hefty contribution to the points total. Thirdly, Jonas Jerebko should have played more minutes for the Celtics, as the team was in desperate need for his ability to rebound, and make shots. And, last but not least, the Celtics are a different team without Isaiah Thomas.
A Complicated Answer
Are the Celtics a better team when playing without Isaiah Thomas, who is said to be badly missing his team? He has been a sensational player over the course of this season, and will finish with at least a 5th position on voters' ballots for Most Valuable Player. He has proven without a doubt that he is one of the league's best scorers over a phenomenal series of plays, but the game changes when one takes into account the matchups, the roster, and the playoffs.
His absence has definitely changed things, but not necessarily for either better or worse. In fact, this occurrence may well end up benefitting his team.
The Celtics are Playing Differently
In this game, the Celtics pushed the pace, managed to get into their sets more quickly, and did not get bogged down with their superstar player's constant dribbles of the ball. They were forced to move the ball more quickly, because no one was going to be able to make an isolation play. Punters who enjoy online betting NZ basketball options certainly sat up and took notice of this difference in play, as changes like this can mean the difference between a winning and losing wager.
On the side of defensive playing, the difference in the Celtics' game was even more pronounced. While Cleveland played exceptionally well in the game's first half, it was unsustainable, and the Celtics changed their game. They were not faced with massive mismatches, nor were they required to over-help, and they stepped up with a defensive rating of 93.6 during the 2nd half. This is even more exceptional when one compares this to the rating of 132 in Game 2.
The Changes are as Clear as Night and Day
The ball moved far more often, and it was the Celtics accomplishing this, as they managed time and time again to get ahead of Cleveland's rotations. While these outlier performances will likely not hold, this does show that the team from Boston managed to play in a manner that called for far more interesting setups. However they perform in the 4th and 5th games, it won't change the way they played this one.
This is also what happens when a star player is no longer available, and has been shown before with Kawhi Leonard and the Western Conference semi-finals against the Rockets. Having to deal with a team that no longer has a star player present demands a change in approach, and the Warriors' win in the 2nd Game of the Western Conference Finals should actually be held as more impressive than it was. It is much more difficult to get up for games like this, and this fact has been proven time and time again.

Happy Monday Loves!
Wow, it sure does feel good to be back and talking to you guys again. I've been gone for a week and a half entertaining family. My sister, Melanie, and my mother came to see us for Memorial Day weekend and then some! It sure was a good time but left absolutely no time to write and work on the website.
You may also notice, I haven't done a week in review in quite some time. It started to feel really repetitive after just a few weeks so from now on, I'll be doing week in reviews on special occasions or holidays!
It was a fun-filled Memorial Day Week. Let's get into it shall we?
May 26th- June 3rd 2016
My mom and sister flew in and got the weekend started! We swam in the pool, BBQ'd, and had some yummy local cuisine. We had a visit to the Panhandle Butterfly House which we haven't been to in the almost 2 years we lived here, so it was nice to finally see it. We decided to not go to the beach that weekend because it was going to be crazy crowded. We did however visit the park right on the sound and although it rained a bit, it was totally worth it.
Next stop, New Orleans! We left for NOLA on Memorial Day which did yield a bit of traffic but not bad at all. When we arrived, it was raining. Actually it seemed to rain every single day we were there but luckily it wasn't an all day event. We walked the French Quarter, hit Bourbon Street, and shopped at the River Market. One of my favorite parts was riding the trolley!
When we returned from NOLA, we had a few days to head to the beach. Lunch on Navarre beach at Lagerheads was a must do and walking the pier. Great places to visit if you are ever on the Gulf Shore. The view from both places is spectacular.
Sadly, all good things come to an end and I had to say goodbye to my family. I'll be seeing them again soon in the weeks to come and I can't wait.
How did you spend your Memorial Day Weekend?

// Echelon Paving
The final paving process is now underway at Circuit of The Americas. As explained in the video above, there are two integral layers of asphalt to be set into place before the FIA Inspection on September 25.
The first layer of asphalt, known as the base course, has been installed sporadically (yet intentionally) around the track over the past several months. Between Turns 1 and 11, the track is restricted so that crews can prepare the surface to receive its second layer. Just last week, the final section of the base course was set between turns 20 and 1 in a "marriage ceremony," where the existing asphalt at Turn 1 was merged with the new layer. Following this milestone, the paving process will become more difficult and complex in order to achieve the strict Grade 1 FIA specifications.

In collaboration with Tilke GmbH, Austin Commercial will orchestrate this process, known as "echelon paving," with three to four machines running simultaneously. Each layer will require 7-12 days to complete and take around 60 workers, or almost 10% percent of the onsite crew. The echelon technique ensures a seamless track, free of any distortions and a perfect surface that will help Formula 1 and other racing series drive safely and achieve top performance.
Inspection of the track is scheduled for September 25, when FIA Safety Delgate and Race Director Charlie Whiting will return to Austin for a closer look at the surface and various safety components. According to Juilie Loignon, COTA Vice President of Public and Community Relations, all preparations are underway to ensure the circuit meets the intense specifications to host the Formula 1 race in November.

Yoga Play Time: How to Find Your Light
Carrie H
Ever have an experience in a group setting that just shifts everyone in it, and raises the collective vibration? I don't believe this phenomena is exclusive to yoga, but since we are in the Dharma Kitchen, that's what we are talkin' about here.
Yesterday, I took advantage of what feels like an increasingly rare ability to get to Sunday morning's class with Silver, which I fondly refer to as "yoga church," with my tongue only a bit in-cheek. She started off by saying that before we even walk into a building, our vibration enters first: such a cool thought. She then began to talk about how small children instantly raise the vibration of everyone they encounter with their joy, purity and innocence, an observation grounded in the reality of a family gathering she held at her house the day before. I knew this meant we were in for some play time, but what I didn't expect—and that's the best part—was the degree to which we would support each other, and how that shared vibration would give us all a happy buzz. This shouldn't have been such a surprise, but it was, probably because I really needed the reminder.
The first concentrated encounter with this sensation with a variation on pincha mayurasana, scorpion style. I got upside down and then once I was stable, one person supported the top of the feet (April) and another person (Jim) supported the sacral area, which enabled my spine to both extend and stabilize, simultaneously, so I could then bend my knees in an effort to try to touch my toes to the top of my head—the full expression of the pose. Once I let the knees drop, which was a scary sensation, I lifted my head up, pumped my chest back, and experienced a sense of elation I hadn't felt in months.
No amount of practicing a pincha scorpion with the feet pushing against and creeping down the wall could have yielded these results, because they were the fruit of collaboration and trust. There are magical, intuitive connections made among people who practice any kind of collaborative, physical activity together on a regular, dedicated basis. When two people you trust implicitly are helping to support your body and expand it into something new and transcendent, well, there really aren't many words for how that feels. Sometimes, the best thing about being upside down is that you just can't see what's going on exactly—you have to rely on how it feels. People around me were excited; I sensed, based on how bent my knees were, that my feet were not terribly far from my head. We say in yoga it's not about the pose, and it's true. (The parsing of the anatomical particulars here are in effort to provide something visual for the non-practitioner who may be reading.) What this pose enabled me to feel in my body was pure exhilaration and freedom, and that's bigger and greater than whether or not my feet and head met or ever will meet. It's also fleeting, but that's another lesson in non-attachment. Smartly, Silver encouraged us to be happy and playful about what happened, but not to talk too much about it afterward, 'cause kids wouldn't do that, right?
Yet here I am, still talking about it, because sharing is important to me. We finished up class with our mats lined up, two by two, lying down head to head. I had Krissy on the other side, and we were guided through three successive urdvha dhanurasanas (also known as a full wheel), and the final one was the real kicker. Silver demonstrated what she was offering: walk our wheels in toward each other and give each other a high five. I couldn't imagine that I could do that; it takes tremendous strength and courage to lift a hand up off the ground when you are upside down and I have trouble moving around in this pose and articulating it in an advanced way. And looking at my friend upside down instantly made both of us laugh on the first two go-rounds. Could I keep it together and go with it? Guess what? I lifted up my left hand and high-fived her. It was the fastest high five on record, and it was exactly as Silver described it: you don't want to leave your friend hanging.
We finished class in savasana with our crowns—and the rest of our bodies—beaming energetically at each other, collectively buzzing with the feeling of love, light and openness. Silver reminded us we are "light raisers," another way to describe light workers. I left the class so bright, I felt as though everyone I encountered would need sunglasses.
Before I left for class that morning, John, my child-at-heart husband, had suggested we drive to the beach and boardwalk so the kids could check out the rides in the off season. He had texted me while I was in class, and I wrote back with an emphatic "OK!" This would mean a 2 and a half hour ride in the car. One way. And leaving after yoga meant we didn't get there until after 1 o'clock, after pit stops for snacks and bathroom breaks. And boy, was it windy on the Ocean City boardwalk when we arrived, but the kids ran up and down the boardwalk with wild abandon and went on reduced-fare rides and ate pizza and salt water taffy and ice cream. "I'm fully aware of how ridiculous this is, that we'd be in the car longer than we'd be here. Thanks for going with me on this," says John. How could I not? The Universe had lined up this day. I couldn't say no to such frivolity and fun.
I woke up early several mornings in a row to see the sunrise last summer while on vacation in this same place, Ocean City. The beautiful predictability of the sunrise is not a small thing; its light is there every day, just like our own. We just don't always see it. But once we do, it catches the light in our midst, illuminating everything and everyone it touches.

Singapore court orders journalist to reveal sources
1 comment:
Your attorney has some good arguments, James. If they had been more transparent and honest in the first place, you wouldn't have had to resort to confidential sources. Confidential sources should remain confidential for good reason - they often risk too much if they divulge the truth. I know, because when I did a story on questionable expenditures and shoddy services, my sources feared retaliation. Some feared that their children could be retaliated against, too. There is a time and place for confidentiality, and to punish the messenger is throwing the game to the cheaters. And it has been proven that you uncovered significant corruption, so who cares about the sources? The story stands on its own. They are the ones harboring a lie, and they tried to turn it on you. Imagine what the world would be like today if journalists were repeatedly forced to disclose all of their confidential sources. Consider Watergate, for starters. It set a precedence and made those at the highest levels accountable.ReplyDelete

Chair Report - August 2008 - Gary Snyder
Executive Committee Meeting
The Executive Committee met on Wednesday evening for over two hours and discussed a wide range of topics.
We began work to develop a 'standard' timeline for all USA Championship meets which will establish milestones for posting of entries, close of entries, detail schedule etc.
Discussed the website or lack there of and the establishment of a 'discrete' Masters Fund'.
Some of us have not submitted expenses which will cause problems as we get closer to year end and try to estimate actual verses budget. If you are guilty please submit your expense but in the mean time please send Joy and me an estimate of what you have not submitted.
Annual meeting should be very interesting. Start making plans now!
Have not received a single BID for 2011 meets and as you know the meets are awarded at the Annual Meeting so if interested it's time to get serious.
Wow! Except for running behind schedule on Friday this was as good as it gets. Thanks to all the MTF Committee members who contributed. I've received nothing but praise for the LOC, meet management, games committee and the officials. The Saturday evening dinner was terrific with Dave Clingan handing out Athlete of Year awards and the special recognition of David Pain. Even the band was great.

As you may have heard, Jose Andres recently took one of his hallmark D.C. restaurants, Café Atlantico, offline, transforming it into a six-month pop-up restaurant called America Eats Tavern. Created to run in conjunction with a concurrent exhibit at the National Archives called "What's Cooking, Uncle Sam?", its menu consists of traditional (and sometimes lost or forgotten) gems of American cooking over the centuries, each extensively researched and masterfully realized. Both the exhibit and the fare are far more enjoyable than their names imply, and both will disappear early in January 2012.
The menu gives brief histories of each dish, and these are often fascinating – like the one for Lobster Newberg, a dish introduced at Delmonico's in 1876. It seems the secret to the sauce came from one Ben Wenberg, a shipper of fruit from Latin America. After a dispute between Wenberg and the restaurant's management, Delmonico's simply rearranged a few letters and renamed the dish "Newberg."
Not just the eats, but drinks at America Eats are historical and thoroughly researched. I was particularly taken with switchel, a cocktail with origins going back to Colonial America. On the menu it's described as "a field worker's drink from New England, blending rum, cider vinegar, molasses, and ginger into a surprisingly refreshing beverage." It's served in a Mason-type jar.
Switchel is surprisingly refreshing, and when I returned home I decided to replicate it. My research uncovered that it was not originally an alcoholic beverage, but sort of an 18th and 19th century version of a sports drink. (There's even an allusion to a version of it, called haymakers punch, in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie series.) Some people claim that the vinegar-molasses-ginger-water tonic is better for your body than modern-day sports drinks and, in hot weather, more effective than plain water for keeping you hydrated.
It turned out to be surprisingly easy to produce a delicious version of switchel at home – with one difference. At the restaurant the cocktail is a beautiful golden color. My version, while similar tasting, turned out the color of Coke. Stymied, I emailed Owen Thomson, the lead bartender at America Eats. Here is what he replied:
"Glad you enjoyed the drink; this is one of my favorites as well. I found a lot of old recipes for switchel in books, and one that I found to be my favorite actually blended a little honey in with the molasses – so that may have something to do with the color. We also use fresh juiced gingerroot as opposed to just macerating cut gingerroot. Below is our recipe which we then mix with 5-year El Dorado rum."
So, take your pick: dark brown switchel or golden yellow switchel. Either way, I reckon it will surprise, delight, and refresh.
Stir together ½ cup cider vinegar, ¼ cup molasses, scant ½ teaspoon ground ginger, 4 cups cold water (Serves 6).
Stir together ¼ cup molasses, ¼ cup honey, 2 teaspoons ginger juice, ½ cup cider vinegar, 3 cups water (Serves 4).
SWITCHEL COCKTAILS: Divide switchel among highball glasses or Mason jars. Stir 1½ to 2 ounces of rum into each glass.
America Eats' menu makes for compelling reading. Dining there is even better. Check out What's Cooking, Uncle Sam?, through January 3, 2012 at the National Archives (About 1 block from America Eats) Have you dined at America Eats? Tell me what you think.

Russell Square House
10-12 Russell Square, London WC1B
Kuro Tanino is a multi-talented Japanese theatre director and playwright famed for his innovative works built around imaginings and obsessions, staged in spaces elaborately designed to the finest detail. A former psychiatric practitioner, Tanino founded the small-scale contemporary theatre company, Niwa Gekidan Penino (Garden Theatre Company Penino), creating a signature hyper-visual style with his intricate original narratives that rise above the existing framework of traditional theatre space.
In this talk, for the first time in the UK, Tanino will reflect on his background and experience in theatre in relation to his own distinctive style as a playwright and director. In conversation with theatre director Beckie Mills, he will discuss how he creates such idiosyncratic works that respond to the psyche and hints at what might be deep inside the minds of the characters, as well as how important it is to balance the rather surrealistic visual effects used to express his own world with the unique texts he crafts. This event will provide a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of Japan's prodigal playwrights and is not to be missed.
This event is free to attend but booking is essential. To reserve a place, please e-mail your name and the title of the event you would like to attend to email@example.com

Living on the northwest side of Chicago exposes me to a variety of Polish delis. I am pretty loyal to my local Montrose Deli, but one night I was a few minutes early meeting my father at Old Warsaw Buffet, and had an opportunity to stop in at Deli 4 You. I don't know why so many Polish delis cover their windows with decals of food, like the private coffeehouse-meets-soccer-club joints peppered throughout the city. Maybe they're trying to keep me out, but Grocery Gal still wants to see what's inside….
I had plans to cook a beer can chicken the next day and needed to grab a whole chicken. If you haven't tried cooking a beer can chicken, I highly recommend it. For years I subscribed to Real Simple magazine, and every recipe I tried tasted terrible: except their beer can chicken recipe. Any recipe that starts out saying "open a can of beer and drink half of it," is a winner in my book.
I went inside Deli 4 and it had the familiar Eastern-Euro smoked meat meets bakery smell in the air. It's a compact store with all the regular Polish staples there. I'm very partial to Montrose Deli's pork snack sausages, and saw Deli 4 You had their own. After being greeted only in Polish by the woman at the deli counter, I asked for one sausage apologetically in English.
I noticed they had a nice selection of smoked fish, so I ordered a small piece of smoked trout. I like how you can purchase small pieces and not have to be stuck with an entire smoked fish. Finally, I got what I originally came in for: a whole chicken. I had a choice between a traditional Purdue chicken and an Amish one, and bought an Amish one for about $2.29 a pound. The chicken wasn't the cheapest price, but I know it's not their main business, so I was fine spending a little extra.
Prices were good; my favorite Lowell Old Country Style pickles were on sale, as was some dark chocolate for smoring in the back yard later in the week. Definitely a solid stop if you're in the neighborhood looking for some smoked sausages, smoked fish and even some creamy Polish pastries.
Do you like Kit Kats? If so, be sure to buy some Prince Polos the next time you see them. They're the Eastern European version of Kit-Kat, covered in dark chocolate and not as sugary. There must've been a sale going on that I missed, but the customers before and after me in line were really stocking up. A standard price is 3 for $1. I knew my dad was going to be waiting on me, but I might've missed out on the Prince Polo deal of the century.
When I did my research on Deli 4 You, I found, as with most delis I like, they have multiple locations. This Deli 4 You was in Norridge on Harlem, while their other location is in Prospect Heights.
Oh yeah, and what did I do with the smoked trout? I made a great salad from a recipe I found from Food & Wine. It was beautiful and deeee-lish!
Deli 4 You. 4343 N. Harlem Ave, Norridge, IL 60706. 708-457-1700. Open Monday – Saturday 8am-8pm (till 9 on Fridays). Sunday 9am-5pm.

The Muslim invasion of Europe accelerates and the consequences will be hidden until the only options left are unpalatable.
1. Franc-Moisin France: The Muslims blocked the road, forced the driver and passengers to leave then set fire to the bus, crying "Allahu Akbar!". This is alleged to be from Wed. July 27 of this year.
2. July 26 2016: Horror at German department store as attacker grabs display knife in latest stabbing
To paraphrase a comment at the source link, we are all certain it has nothing to do with Islam or migrants, or if it does, then they are mentally ill or they won't be a real Muslim.
Police headed to the building at around 3pm to arrest a man who had made a death threat after finding out that he had appointment at the employment office for that time.
According to the German newspaper Bild the operation was linked to an alleged fight between two men at a nearby refugee camp last night, during which one threatened to kill the other.
3. 10,000 migrants cross from North Africa to Italy in just FOUR DAYS as it is revealed less than 6% of those ordered to return home last year actually went back
More than 10,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy in just four days as the European Union fails to provide a deterrent by sending back those found not to be genuine refugees.
EU leaders will today be presented with figures that show as few as six per cent of those told go back home to Africa last year actually left.
Calm seas have led to a surge in the number of people departing from the North African coast in overcrowded boats heading for Europe.

4. A middle-aged Muslim WOMAN jailed for seven years for sex offences against a young girl.
Raheelah Dar, 43, was convicted of grooming, isolating and manipulating the schoolgirl to molest her several years ago.
She had denied all the charges but was found guilty of three counts of indecent assault and two counts of indecency with a child by unanimous verdicts at a trial in June. [...] He [The judge] told her: 'You were 26. She was only nine. You were sexually experienced and had been married. She was an innocent. You were crafty.'
5. Former security guard is jailed for six months after throwing a dog to its death from the SEVENTH floor of a tower block
Mahmood Keshavarzi, 37, dragged the dog from a garden up a tower block in Birmingham, West Midlands, where he then threw it out a window. [...]
The court heard how father-of-four Mr Jagger desperately pleaded with Keshavarzi, who ignored his cries and tossed the dog to its death.
A teenager had seen Keshavarzi steal 15-month-old American bulldog cross Zeus from a garden and drag him by his collar towards the rear entrance of Drews House, in Druids Heath, Birmingham. [...]
He said: 'I heard a massive thump. It sounded like two cars going into each other.
'I looked on the ground and Zeus was lying there. I then heard the sound of a squeaking window.'
Some of the comments at that article are also quite revealing. But what could Islam have to do with the man who threw the dog to its death?
And a couple of related items just FYI:
Here is a wonderful clip from the past showing the Religion of Peace and it's peace partners praying together.
The founder of a flagship academy and two staff members found guilty of defrauding the government out of £150,000.
Sajid Raza, 43, Shabana Hussain, 40, and Daud Khan, 44, made payments from Department for Education (DfE) grants into their own bank accounts. [...]
Peter Mann from the Crown Prosecution Service told the court the trio had "treated public money as their own".
He said: "Raza treated the Academy like a family business employing his relatives there and, for at least the first 12 months, operating with no proper governance. [...] Granting bail, Judge Christopher Batty told them "I am very much considering custody" for September's sentencing.
And for those who missed the excellent David Menzies piece on sharia norms replacing law and regulations at Canadian pools, here it is again:
This is more important than terrorism in some ways. This is the rapid erosion of rule of law and the application of reason by cultural Marxism and Islam. This is the kind of set of actions which will effect us all.

Where Freelancers Are in Demand
So you've just been laid off and are thinking of hanging out your own shingle as a consultant, but you're not sure if there are opportunities for solo players in your field. Fortunately for you, many firms that have been shedding employees see consultants as a way to tackle new and pressing projects that must get done without taking on all the salary and benefits costs of hiring a full-time worker. These consultants may also be first in line for jobs when the economy recovers.
Here are three broad trends that companies are grappling with that should supply lots of work for "accidental" consultants. We provide a sampling of opportunities within each, as well as some advice on how to get your foot in the door with the people doing the hiring.
Trend #1: Follow the Feds.
Long before Barack Obama became president, the federal government was already expanding thanks to the Bush administration's spending on defense and homeland security. Now that the stimulus and the second bank bailout are upon us, government will play a larger role than ever as a buyer of goods and services and a watchdog of industry. Business will need lots of help in how to adapt. Three hot areas where consultants are likely to be in demand:
Financial compliance. In the wake of Wall Street's meltdown, financial institutions of all stripes are bracing for a galaxy of new regulations as well as stepped-up enforcement of existing laws. Many laid-off accountants, compliance specialists, and controllers should be able to find contract work designing or executing projects to bring companies into compliance, says Paul McDonald, who leads the finance and accounting division of Robert Half International. Robert Half and other placement agencies can be a good way to find out about opportunities, in addition to contacting companies' compliance departments directly. Compliance specialist Loren Grant found his first consulting gig through placement agency M Squared Consulting, and built his referral network from there using LinkedIn. Financial pros with generalist backgrounds can position themselves for compliance projects by keeping abreast of trends in regulation and enforcement, Grant says.
Contract management and proposal writing. In almost every industry, companies will be competing for a piece of the huge stimulus payout that will flow through federal, state, and local governments. They'll need advice on how to pursue contracts and write proposals, and on how to follow regulations once they've landed those contracts. Many consultants in this field gained inside knowledge of how agencies make decisions by working inside those agencies or writing grant applications as part of their jobs, says Neal J. Couture, executive director of the National Contract Management Association. John Porter had won plenty of grant money for the private school where he had worked as an administrator, but turned to consulting when the school closed down. Now an independent consultant, he helps businesses and nonprofits position themselves to receive government or foundation money. Porter says he finds lots of work at business mixers: "Typically I'm the only grant writer who's ever been to the meeting," he says. "And everyone knows someone who is looking for grant money."
Trend #2: Efficiency is job one.
With markets shrinking, businesses are desperate to squeeze more from their dollar. And sometimes you have to spend money to save money — by hiring consultants, that is. Here are the top opportunities in promoting efficiency:
Project management. Corporate projects are more complex and team-based than ever, often spanning multiple time zones, cultures, and technical specialties. And like a big-budget movie, a major project can bleed cash quickly if it's delayed for just a few days, so companies need project managers to ensure they stay on schedule and under budget. Though plenty of project managers are facing the ax in this recession, many companies still need them on a contract basis. "We can't find enough highly qualified and competent project managers, and those we do find, we immediately put into a project," says Kimball Norup, chief marketing officer of M Squared. Aside from placement agencies like M Squared, freelance job sites such as Elance.com and Odesk.com can be good for finding opportunities. Many larger firms have a project management office, or PMO, which keeps track of projects throughout the organization, while at smaller firms you'll want to reach out to department heads to find out what projects are at the top of their lists.
M&A integration. The financial crisis led to a big wave of consolidation in banking, and as the recession continues and more industries shrink, get ready for more corporate marriages. Getting systems and people to work together in the wake of a merger is key to profitability. It's a years-long task, and companies often turn to consultants to help provide an outside perspective and make hard decisions. This is a good opportunity if you can claim "change management" experience in fields such as HR, marketing, operations, or IT systems integration, says Norup. You can make the case that you have that experience if you worked at companies that restructured dramatically in recent years. Your best bet: contact department heads in your area of specialty at firms that have recently made acquisitions.
Trend #3: Technology keeps changing.
New technologies are moving forward regardless of the recession, changing the ways businesses interact with their customers and even their own employees. Most companies can't afford to keep experts on all of these new technologies in-house. That has opened up opportunities in a number of areas:
Social media marketing. Marketers have started to realize the potential for running cheap, customized campaigns through social media. But every year the platforms change (from blogs to Second Life to MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, and so on), which makes life challenging for marketing chiefs. While consulting is usually easier for professionals with plenty of experience, advising companies on how to use and set up social media can be a great opportunity for younger workers. Your professional experience might be in devising PR or marketing strategy, but you should have also built up your credibility in the social media world. After being laid off last year from her job as marketing chief of a data hosting company, San Francisco-based Kristie Wells had four offers for consulting work within 24 hours. Why? Two years earlier, she had co-founded a social media networking organization, Social Media Club, and everyone instantly knew of her availability and skills. You can also find work online at sites such as Guru.com and Elance. If you're planning to canvas companies directly, though, be aware that different departments "own" social media at different companies, so do your homework to find out if it's the marketing, PR, or perhaps interactive department you need to contact.
Data security. Even as companies are putting more of their valuable data on networks and sharing it across the globe, hackers from Beijing to Belarus are getting better at stealing it. Securing systems can be an exciting challenge, and the work can't be shipped overseas. Tech aficionados who work in systems administration, IT project management, and business analysis are often good candidates to work in data security, says Chuck Arnao of Villanova University, which offers online training for the data security certification known as the CISSP. Getting certifications like the CISSP is almost essential for competing for freelance gigs in data security. Many jobs in this area are advertised on tech job sites such as Dice.com, or you can try contracting the chief technology or information officers at target companies.
The six areas above should continue to provide opportunities for consultants for years to come. But successful freelancers know that the secret to getting steady work is to anticipate clients' changing needs, so you'll want to stay abreast of trends in your chosen field, keep learning new skills, and always be positioning yourself as the answer to those needs. With any luck, you'll have enough work to tide you over until the economy recovers and you find something more permanent than consulting.

Muhammad, 42, met with psychiatric experts hired by his attorneys for more than 60 hours over the spring and summer, but a judge ruled that none of the information gleaned from those sessions can be used because he refused to meet with a forensic psychiatrist for the government.
That decision, legal experts say, left Muhammad's court-appointed lawyers with a greatly reduced hand as they entered the penalty phase of his trial. Jurors convicted him yesterday on two counts of capital murder and must consider whether to recommend a sentence of death or life in prison.
"I would think the kind of mitigating evidence might be a little like [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh - he was basically a good person who because of his experiences in the Army or losing his kids or whatever, he might have gone a little haywire," said Welsh S. White, a law professor and death penalty expert at the University of Pittsburgh. "But if you don't have a psychiatric witness, that is going to be very hard to do."
Opening the penalty phase yesterday, defense attorney Jonathan Shapiro played down the absence of mental health testimony. He told jurors that "there won't be any psychiatrist here to put this together for you. I don't think you need one."
Instead, Shapiro said, defense attorneys would present friends, neighbors and other acquaintances of Muhammad's who would testify that he is a good person who deserves to live. Defense attorneys also have said they plan to present evidence of "abuse and neglect" in Muhammad's childhood in Louisiana and said they might call a psychiatric expert, though only to offer statistical testimony about the likelihood of a prisoner serving a life sentence to commit another violent crime.
Shapiro told jurors yesterday: "Your decision will put John Muhammad in a box of one kind or the other - one is made of concrete, and one is made of pine."
In Virginia, jurors weighing a death sentence are instructed to consider a defendant's future dangerousness as well as the "vileness" of the crime at issue.
Michael A. Millemann, law professor at the University of Maryland, said the defense can make strong use of nonexpert witnesses to complete the picture of Muhammad's life before the shootings - an important factor in building a case for mitigating circumstances that could offset aspects of the crime that call for a death sentence.
The work of lawyers to prepare such mitigating evidence has been under increasing scrutiny. Ruling in the case of former Maryland death row inmate Kevin Wiggins this year, the U.S. Supreme Court said defense attorneys in that case had not done an adequate job of conducting and presenting background research that might have helped spare his life. The court ordered a new sentencing for Wiggins.
"I think you've got to rely on calling witnesses, lay witnesses, who can testify to acts, things that he did or said that were patently crazy," Millemann said. "I think he's a tough client, obviously. ... [But] juries are extremely skeptical of psychological testimony, even under the best circumstances."
Attorneys for Muhammad did get one key break yesterday. While prosecutors had a number of victims prepared to testify, Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. ruled that prosecutors would be allowed to introduce so-called "victim impact testimony" only from the family of Dean H. Myers, who was killed by a shot to the head Oct. 9 last year at a gas station near Manassas.
Millette also ruled that prosecutors could not present evidence about anti-American remarks alleged to have been made by Muhammad. Prosecutors can, however, present evidence about anti-Semitic remarks Muhammad is alleged to have made and a shooting at a Washington state synagogue that investigators link to the Army veteran.
Muhammad was on trial here in the shooting of Myers, although prosecutors presented detailed evidence of 16 shootings as they sought to secure a conviction under Virginia law that makes it a capital offense to kill more than one person in a three-year period.
The prosecution's case included testimony from witnesses such as the daughter of slain FBI analyst Linda Franklin, who was shot as she loaded packages in a car outside a Fairfax County Home Depot store.
Kate Hannum recalled for jurors the middle-of-the-night phone call from her stepfather, William Franklin, telling her that her mother was dead: "I remember screaming and throwing myself on the bed. That's all I could do, was scream."
Shapiro had asked Millette to limit the victim statements, trying to prevent an emotional overload as jurors weigh the death penalty.
"If the court were to allow victim impact testimony of other crimes, then the potential range of victims and victim impact testimony is endless," he said.
Prosecutor Richard A. Conway told jurors yesterday that everything they heard during the guilt phase was fair game for consideration now. He said that "even if you didn't hear another soul testify for the commonwealth," they had enough evidence to vote for the death penalty.

Even though it's common for 30% to 50% or more of site visitors to use site search, it's surprisingly under-optimized on many ecommerce sites. Customers who search almost always have significantly higher average order values, conversion rates, page views per visit, and time on site than their non-searching counterparts. On the other hand, often only 5% to 10% of visitors enter your checkout process—but no retailer would dream of neglecting the cart. So why do so many merchants neglect their site search presentation and functionality?
Multichannel Merchant's MCM Outlook 2012-13 indicates that this neglect is being corrected. The 2012-13 results show that 61.5% of merchants offer their shoppers the ability to refine search results (up from 52.1% last year); 41% are offering guided navigation (up from 30.2%); and 33.6% offer autocomplete (up from 18.8%).
And recent reports show that Walmart and eBay are making huge investments to improve their site search—including eBay tripling its staff working in that area to 150.
You know search customers are more valuable with their higher tickets and conversion rates. So provide them with the best search results possible. Merchandise those results with all the best practices in your arsenal. And help more customers search by giving the search box the attention it deserves.
Luckily, most of us don't need that kind of manpower—only the concentration to follow site search best practices, including these three:
1. Know what they want, and give it to them. The most important feature of your site search tool is that it actually finds the best products for your customers. After all, that is why the customer is searching.
What Doesn't Work: Amazon's new business-to-business site AmazonSupply.com. When a website's search algorithm isn't optimized, it's often apparent to shoppers. Do a search at AmazonSupply.com for "Chair" and you get one result. I highly doubt Amazon sells only one chair. But above that lonesome chair is a link to "See results for Chair in the whole catalog." Click that—and welcome to a world of 1,121 chairs. Hopefully, Amazon will have that extra step fixed by the time you read this.
What Works: This time Amazon.com does it perfectly. Great search results are not only about the words the customer search for, but also about their intent and interpretation. Do a search for "Coffee Table Book" and Amazon shows those large books you display on your coffee table as a conversation piece.
What Doesn't Work: At Walmart.com., however, I browsed all the way to result number 209 on page 14 without seeing a book—only coffee tables—before giving up. While displaying coffee tables in response to the search phrase "coffee table book" makes sense semantically, it fails to account for user intent, clickthrough activity and conversion data.
2. Make sure results pages are fully functional, not slimmed down. You show shoppers great product results. Now seal the deal with world-class merchandising.
What Works: MotoryCycleSuperStore.com utilizes every tool in the site search tool box. In addition to showing customers the most popular and relevant merchandise first, the site allows you to sort the results by price, highest rated, newest or best deal. Or, you can refine your results by category, brand, color or price.
The product results themselves are compelling because they feature the MSRP versus the retailer's low price, product review star ratings, and badges that show which products are on sale, featured or have videos. There are related search terms below each product to introduce me to additional merchandise and product categories. And there is a promotional banner at the top of the page touting a super sale of 75% off.
What Doesn't Work: LordAndTaylor.com. Search for "shirts" and you are inundated with 1,504 shirts, but you are offered little assistance in deciding which you want.
You can refine by "Men" or "Women's Apparel" after you click "More" under "Category." But gender is your only option for narrowing those 1,504 items. You can't refine by shirt type (like polo or dress shirt), color, brand or even size. If you could sort by best sellers or highest rated, that would help—but those are not available either. How can a consumer be expected to choose one of these 1,504 shirts with no sorting or refining options?
3. Make the search box easy to see and use. Now that you have a great algorithm delivering the best product mix possible and results pages featuring compelling merchandising tactics, it's time to get more shoppers searching. Customers who search spend more money, so driving more traffic into that search box equals more revenue. That's where a large and prominent search box comes into play.
What Works: eVitamins.com. The search box is clearly the focus of the header. Here the header and entire top portion of the website were designed to feature the search box—it wasn't squished in as an afterthought. Even though a bigger search box can mean bigger sales, some merchandisers may be hesitant to dedicate as much real estate as did eVitamins.com. Folica.com does a great job with a more confined search box that stands out from the rest of the header and navigation.
What Doesn't Work: TimeToSpa.com. Here is a search box that was shoved wherever there was room. Every element of the header is more prominent than the search box, including the email updates sign-up box. I wonder how many customers type a search term in that email field by mistake. Remember, 30% to 50% of visitors use site search. How many of the elements in this header see that kind of demand? Surely something in that header could be sacrificed to make room for the search box.

McDonald's Buys a lot of Beef
It's the constant game of supply and demand...
If you sell 63 million burgers every week, then you have to buy whole bunch of beef, and you have to have good suppliers. It's a much bigger deal too, if all that beef needs to be FRESH - instead of frozen.
But --- Senior supply director, Rickette Collins for McDonald's says the fresh beef campaign has been a big success.
That campaign has been running since March. And she says Beef producers have been busy during this fresh beef push.
In the U.S. McDonald's buys two-percent of the beef supply and purchase 660 million pounds annually.
Every week McDonald's sells 63 million burgers from its more than 14,000 restaurants in the United States.
