A Road to Mecca - Muhammad Asad program on Al Jazeera

Hate to close this Road to Makkah board in a few days... :'( For now enjoy...J.
Click above for program!!
A Road to Mecca
More than 80 years ago, one man crossed the frontline between the Muslim world and the West - we retrace his journey.
In A Road to Mecca, filmmaker George Misch sets out to explore the frontline between the Muslim world and the West. His guide for this journey is a man from the past - somebody who, 80 years earlier, crossed all boundaries between countries, cultures and religions.
Leopold Weiss was born a Jew on the edge of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1900. But his story would unfold far away in the deserts of Arabia.
Feeling restless and unhappy in Europe, in 1922 Weiss accepted an uncle's invitation to join him in Jerusalem. But what began as a family visit soon turned into a life-changing journey.
Weiss enjoyed the hospitality of the Arabs he met in the Middle East and was enchanted by their lifestyle. With the passion of an explorer, he began to travel across the region.
His travels and encounters nurtured in him a sense that Zionism was causing a great injustice to the Palestinian Arabs. In Jerusalem, he got into heated arguments with the leaders of the Zionist movement and began to feel at a greater distance from the religion of his ancestors than ever before.
"Islam should be presented without any fanaticism. Without any stress on our having the only possible way and the others are lost. Moderation in all forms is a basic demand of Islam."
Muhammad Asad
As he discovered the Muslims of the Middle East, Weiss also discovered Islam - studying the Quran and finding not only the answer to the spiritual emptiness he had felt but also an alternative to the materialism of Europe's Roaring Twenties. In Saudi Arabia, Weiss felt truly at home, writing: "I am no longer a stranger."
In 1926, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Asad. Full of enthusiasm, he embarked upon his first pilgrimage to Mecca.
Curious to get to know other Muslim communities, in 1932 Asad left Saudi Arabia - travelling to Turkistan, China and Indonesia. In India, he met poet and philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. Iqbal dreamed of creating a separate Islamic state as a solution to the bloodshed between Indian Muslims and Hindus. Iqbal's vision of Pakistan quickly became Asad's own dream.
Asad campaigned for the creation of Pakistan by writing books, giving public lectures and hosting radio programmes. He also drafted the outline for an Islamic constitution in which equal rights for women were secured.
In 1951, Asad became Pakistan's envoy to the United Nations. But to his dismay he was forced out of the position after just one year. Deeply disappointed, he turned his back on politics, deciding instead to write his autobiography in the hope that it would promote better understanding between Muslims and the West. The Road to Mecca quickly became a bestseller.
By 1970, Asad had grown increasingly concerned that the Quran was being misinterpreted and misused for political goals. This motivated him to undertake his biggest challenge: a new translation of and commentary on the Quran. He settled in Morocco and estimated that it would take him four years to complete. Seventeen years later it was finished. He dedicated it to "people who think".
"Every age requires a new approach to the Quran for the simple reason that the Quran is made for all ages. It is our duty to look for deeper meanings in the Quran in order to increase our knowledge and experience. The Quran wants your intellect to be always active and trying to approach the message of God. God himself dedicated this book to people who think."
Despite the fact that Asad today has a loyal following among those who share an interest in his writings and an intellectual affiliation with him, his translation was not embraced by all. Rumour has it that there were even book burnings of Asad's Quran.
Emotionally and financially exhausted, he withdrew to Europe - settling in Spain in 1987. He planned to revise his translation once more but old age and prolonged illness prevented him from completing it. On February 20, 1992, he died, alone and secluded.
A Road to Mecca can be seen from Tuesday, November 8, at the following times GMT: Tuesday: 2000; Wednesday: 1200; Thursday: 0100; Friday: 0600; Saturday: 2000; Sunday: 1200; Monday: 0100.

Salam alaikum
I caught the last few minutes of the documentary...and it was truly sad!
We see Muhammad Asad's long time aide visiting his grave in Spain, and him and the Imam of the mosque have a huge argument about how his marble grave is "too high" and how the imam would like to have it lowered for it to be more Islamic. It just got me thinking about where peoples' priorities are, subhanAllah.
It would be great if everyone could just accept and appreciate the positive impact people have made, and leave their differences and pettiness aside. hey, I can dream cant I?

Their poems are grounded in strong opinions and real experience of teenage life, so that the subjects, from bullying and friendship to sex and drugs, can be treated openly and honestly. These are poems about what it is like to be a teenager, not a sweetened version of what adults may feel it ought to be like. (A poem like 'What my Mother Said' demonstrates exactly how useless an adult's advice can be.) The poems run from the painful end of teenage life, with 'Bruises Heal' giving a voice to the pain of bullying, through joyful poems of friendship such as 'Perfect Blend', to poems like 'Recipe for Disaster', where an illicit house party while parents are away is made comical through a wildly extended cookery-book metaphor.
Peer pressure is a recurring theme in these poems. A poem like 'Pressure' acknowledges that it is hard to resist, but the pair of poems 'Slugs and Snails and Puppydog Tails' and 'Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice' both show ways of resisting stereotypes. On the other hand, poems such as 'Good to be a Lad' celebrate a sense of belonging in "The sweet hours / Of being a lad".
Both poets are interested in performance, so that poems can be chanted, sung, rapped or acted out - or simply read. Both are also interested in form, which is seen as part of the performance, ensuring the poem works onstage and on the page. The Guardian's claim that "it is rare and welcome to find a collection that speaks so directly to teenagers" is here reinforced by the poets' practiced, unpatronising delivery, which speaks as directly as the poems do.
Their recording was made on 10 January 2006 at the Audio Workshop, London and was produced by Richard Carrington.

The Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty reigned here until 1924. The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 AD during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven.
Today a private guide will take you to the Great Wall at Mutianyu, located 45 miles northeast of Beijing. This section winds along lofty, cragged mountains for 1.4 miles and holds a prominent place in Chinese military history. Construction started in the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 - 577) and was restored in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). There is an abundance of natural springs which feed a great variety of verdant plants and ancient trees. Built mainly from granite with 8 meter high walls that are 5 m wide at the top, this section of the Great Wall is notable for its 22 watchtowers, suggesting a significant military importance.

Two Crusaders Earn National Football Honors
Monday, November 14, 2011
Valparaiso University's Eric Hoffman (Manitowoc, Wis./Lincoln H.S.) and Greg Wood (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville H.S.) both earned national recognition for their performances on the football field Saturday afternoon in the Crusaders' win against Campbell.
Both individuals earned College Football Performance Awards Honorable Mention Performers of the Week at quarterback and punter respectively for Division I-FCS. Hoffman was also named The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS co-National Freshman of the Week for his efforts.
Hoffman, who was also named the Pioneer Football League's Co-Offensive Player of the Week, completed 30-of-40 passes for 314 yards and a career-high four scores as the Brown and Gold snapped a 29-game losing skid. He was 7-of-8 in the fourth quarter for 81 yards and two scores, the last of which proved to be the game winner with 3:09 to play.
Hoffman's touchdown tosses were 14, three, 14, and nine yards, and each one either gave Valpo the lead or extended the Crusader advantage.
Wood punted three times on Saturday for a 46.7-yard per kick average. He had a long of 58 yards and landed one of his three punts at the Campbell one-yard line.
Valparaiso will close out the 2011 regular season on Saturday afternoon against Davidson. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. CST in Davidson, N.C.

My Portfolio View™
My Portfolio View™ is a dataVISION enhancement module
SPF offers its bank customers for their consumer investment
clients. With My Portfolio View (MPV) banks can integrate their customers' investment information into their regular home banking Websites, branded to match the bank's look and feel.
Banking customers will be able to see their full investment portfolio held at the bank via the same home banking Website they typically use for online account review and bill pay. MPV shows customers and advisors the same up-to-date information for investment reviews, and makes it easy for customers to know the status of their investments at any time of the day or night.
MPV improves client-advisor communication because both parties can access the same account information, rather than up-to-the-minute screens for advisors and old statements for clients. The module also improves client education because many questions can be answered by reviewing accounts online or over the phone, rather than having to meet with advisors in person.
My Portfolio View is one more tool SPF uses to provide efficiencies for financial advisors and the technology tools banking customers want.

Lancashire are still firmly in their County Championship match against Hampshire at Liverpool even though they were bowled out for just 208 in the first innings before tea today.
When play finally got underway on the second morning, the Red Rose were soon in trouble thanks, in the main, to three-time England Test bowler Chris Tremlett, who claimed 4-49 from 13 overs.
Former Red Rose seamer Dominic Cork returned 3-43 from 16, while Dimitri Mascarenhas also pinched two, to bowl the hosts out inside 61 overs.
But left-arm spinner Gary Keedy then led a fight back with two wickets to restrict the visitors to 124-4 at close. Lancashire would have been a lot happier had Nic Pothas and James Vince not shared an unbroken 53 for the fifth wicket late in the day.
Paul Horton top scored for the hosts with 37, but they had their middle and lower order to thank for gaining one batting bonus point for passing 200.
Sajid Mahmood hit a run-a-ball 30, including five fours and one towering straight six, while Glen Chapple hit 27 and Luke Sutton 25. Mahmood whacked James Tomlinson for four boundaries in seven balls to take his side beyond 200.
While Tremlett finished with the pick of the figures for Hampshire, all eyes were on returning veteran Cork. All of his wickets were lbws, those of Mal Loye, wicketkeeper Sutton and Chapple.
Andrew Flintoff, who later bowled seven speedy overs, batted at No. 3. He hit Dimitri Mascarenhas for six before being caught at third slip next ball for 12.
"I don't think we batted as well as we can," said coach Peter Moores. "Though there was something in the pitch and it swung, we didn't play to our full potential. We came back well with the ball. The pitch is dry and will turn later in the game. There is bounce in it, it swung, but we never pushed on with a partnership."
Home captain Chapple then ensured that his side made the perfect start with the ball by forcing Jimmy Adams to edge behind to Sutton in the fifth over.
Kyle Hogg then trapped Michael Lumb lbw in the 14th over before left-arm spinner Keedy whipped out his two wickets in his first two overs.
He had Michael Carberry caught at short leg by Steven Croft with just his second ball for 25 and Chris Benham was caught behind by Sutton off a top edged sweep for one. Hampshire were wobbling at 71-4 in the 22nd.
Pothas (35) and Vince (34) then shared their unbroken fifth wicket partnership to take their side through to close.
Moores continued: "The biggest positive is that it is a three day game now. It has moved on quickly. Both sides will be trying to get a result out of it. The game is pretty evenly poised. We would have liked one more wicket tonight, but if you had asked us before we started to bowl we would have been happy with 124-4.
"If we come back tomorrow strong, get a couple of early wickets, we can put Hampshire under pressure. There is still a real strong chance of a result. We do know that once we have bowled Hampshire out we are going to have to bat better second time around."

Honours even at Hampden
Michael Keenan had Queen's Park's best chance in his side's goalless draw with Peterhead at Hampden Park.
The two sides cancelled each other out in what was a very scrappy first half with very few shots on goal from either team.
The game improved dramatically in the second period and the hosts had an excellent opportunity to take the lead in the 66th minute when midfielder Keenan shot from 18 yards out, but his effort was parried by Peterhead stopper Graeme Smith.
The visitors never really looked like threatening Neil Parry in the Queen's Park goal. Their best chance came in the 77th minute when Rory McAllister's volleyed effort from range sailed wide of the post, but neither team could get on the scoresheet.

I'm about to say something, but it's not towards people who disliked the end. It's to the people who showed such hatred and anger at the team for their ending.
To those people, I say that you have not had any experience in developing a game and attempting to create a game that you want to create.Anyway, just to reinstate, disliking the ending is fine... but the hatred is uncalled for and selfish.

Lately Suegra has been suffering from "empacho" … This illness has always confused and amused me – And Suegra is equally confused as to how it's possible that gringos don't believe in it, and usually have never even heard of it.
"Empacho" is a gastrointestinal illness that many people in El Salvador and other parts of Latin America believe can kill you. I decided to interview her about it for anthropological reasons because it doesn't seem well documented.
Interview below, (in Spanish.)
Note: The use of the word "chibolitas" in Salvadoran Caliche means "little round objects" or "little balls." (The word has other meanings in other parts of Latin America.)
(If interested in a translation to English, let me know in comments and I'll see about transcribing it.)
Posted on March 21, 2011, in beliefs, Culture, health, interview, Language, Salvadoreños, suegra and tagged beliefs, El Salvador, empacho, health, salud, superstition, video. Bookmark the permalink. 49 Comments.
My Cuban grandmother had the biggest, strongest mitts you ever have seen and believe me, you did everything you could to avoid getting the sobado to relieve the alleged empacho!
Thank you, Suegra!
We really are a crazy ass culture…
You said a mouthful –> "We really are a crazy ass culture…"
Where do I start…. "Chibolitas" in your arms, back of legs and stomach? What???
Ese "brevaje" que disque te cura, más parece ser lo que toman las personas después de una severenda "siringanda" (noche de copa una noche loca).
Estoy a años luz de ser doctora, pero eso suena a Heartburn. Prilosec to the rescue!
En cuanto a la sobadita… a quien no le gusta una buena sobadita ;)
Wow! Escuchar a Suegra was actually very nice Traaaysi, gracias!
In México, el "empacho", is pretty common as well. But here, we don´t get la sobadita, we get pinched! My mom or mi Abuelita would make you lie down, bare back and pinch all your back to get the "pellejos" unstuck. Supposedly with el empacho your inner muscles (or skin?) get stuck to your bones (or something like that) and blood can´t flow correctly to help you heal. So someone had to help with that.
Another way of dealing with empacho, in ancient times, was using ventosas (cupping?), and I´ve just recently learned that it is also a common practice in Chinese Medicine! It hurts like hell! But it really helps. :)
I think it has to do with helping the lymphatic system; maybe las "chibolitas" that Suegra talks about are just lumps made up of toxins and the lymph nodes can´t get rid of because it´s too much. No?
I looove traditional medicine!
Gracias Amiga! And tell Suegra she has a very clear voice!
Hope no one gets empachada any time soon. ;)
Sue, that reminds me of the Asian tradition of cupping. They light a candle on your back and then put a cup over it. It leaves burn marks and several families have gotten in trouble with authorities for doing it to kids. Teachers thought it was "abuse."
Si Carrie! Tal cual! It is cupping, it hurts, but it also really works! I have my Mexican "bruja/masajista" who cures me from any maladies with all these ancient remedies.
And Tracy, actually it was with moxibustion that I was cured from an apendicitis! True story. I was on my way to the hospital, but my doctor (PhD and all, and also a homeopath) tried it for 10 minutes before going into the OR. All the tests proved I had apendicitis, but did not need the surgery. My apendix got unswollen (is that how you say it? desinflamado?) and voila, all was well in my world again.
I love traditional remedies!
Oh wow! This explanation is exactly what we grew up with, minus the mexicanismos of course, lol! Too bad you didn't record Suegra's image on this video…that would have been awesome! Love it :-)
Loved the interview! Great questions…I thought you caught her with, "Do you know anyone who's died from it?" But she came up with a quick answer.
Did she know you'd be posting it here? Does she even know you have a blog?
My Goodness! I have heard of this empacho growing up my whole life! Sepa Dios como se sentira! All I know is that I have never experienced it myself! My family is from El Salvador and my uncle married a lady from Guatemala, they also believe in el empacho. Para no hacer la historia larga she went to Guatemala le dio empacho y dejo a mi tio viudo! Since then I don't say I believe but I dont say I do either :s lol
Ok, so I will give you my honest feedback here, so sorry ahead of time. I first read the post, no listening on my phone, and thought, "Oh, how nice, this is going to be a nice topic to learn from, maybe I can google it and help with the corresponding illness that we could relate it to." Then, I listened. I even took notes (never heard of las pantorillas, but i get it). Even wrote down the cure, though the first ingredient was beer, lol. But when you asked her if there was any other remedy, and received an instant "No, es la UNICA forma", I was immediately transported to my Suegra's dining room table, where all our important conversations/discussions/arguments take place, and I was shutting down. I hate to say that. I hate to admit that I started to discount everything you're seemingly nice mother-in-law had said. I hate that I can't stay open and believing. I have lost that ability. I used to have it. I do respect that she believes whole heartedly what she is saying. That this is something an entire country/countries believe in, and who am I to discount it. But I do. Maybe it's my "American" attitude, that somehow we, as educated American's know more, understand more, are able to deduce within minutes what is or is not plausible. Maybe it's my doubtful nature, that needs "proof" for everything, and even then will question it. But I think it has more to do with my personal experiences with MY Suegra. I could have predicted word for word the last part about if she had actually KNOWN anyone that had died from it "Pues…….lo conozco alquien…." Mmmhmm.
Sounds like I have some work to do on my issues, huh? Lol. Thanks for letting me be truthful.
As a child in Cuba (68 years ago) we also had empachos,for the cure a lady would come to the house use some kind of oil & with her fingers she press hard in the middle of your stomach & when it was all over she'll burp gave some concoction to drink & your were cure, is amazing we survive without having an appendicitis attack.
Happy to meet you! Followed you over from your kind comment at tikitiki blog.
I am so excited about all the latinas/gringa latinas I'm meeting.
A pleasure.
Going to go over your archives now!
I loved learning about Empacho….
I enjoyed suegra's interview. I hope she feels better soon!
Wow! It was cool to hear the suegra! You know, this is very new to me. Never ever heard of empacho! I don't think it's common in Venezuela or I've heard about that same type of enfermedad. Que raro me pareció!
I'm originally from Guatemala and I also grew up knowing about empachos. If my mom believed I was afflicted by this, she would bring a woman who was a local healer and have my stomach massaged. She would also do my arms as well. But from what I was told, it wasn't just a made up malady as some here suggest. My mom would say that if for some reason some piece of peel from a fruit or vegetable or even just any food that wasn't properly digested got "stuck" in my intestinal track, then this would cause an empacho. It can give you stomach ache after you eat because your digestive system is working so hard and not accomplishing removing all the waste in your system. So I believe in it. My daughter, who's 6, recently started experiencing discomfort after eating. It wouldn't occur every time, mostly after the first meal of the day. Her stomach would become slightly distended and she had gas. It immediately made me think of an empacho. By the way, it's not just a rub down that you need, you also need to ingest an oily substance that will lubricate and cleanse the intestinal tract.
I stumbled upon your blog while googling sites with salvadoreñismos and now I cannot stop visiting every opportunity I have. I grew up on El Salvador and even-though my mother was an educated woman, she still held (and does) to those ancient traditions, That is why we were cured of empachos by having the "sobadora" come and work her stuff and tell her to give us also the traditional "purga". When my youngest cousin was 6 months old he came down with an empacho and his dad, a very respected doctor, couldn't cured him with antibiotics and energy drinks, my mom and aunts convinced him to take the baby to the curandera and treat his empacho. My uncle became a believer after his son was cured in the third session.
There are many things that our parents and their parents held as medicine and it worked fine, and there are things that they just figured out in their daily life, I remember my grandmother telling me to cover my head if I got it wet after dusk, or "el sereno" was going to make sick; I also remember, and I passed down to my daughters as a true and tested fact, not to drink milk or eat dary products and then lemon or orange juice or that will give them "churria".
La Suegra is a well of knowledge passed down generation after generation.
my one year old daughter i think shes empachada she has her stomach real bloaded and she has been having diareea for three days what should i do?
I have been to several drs and every dr has said i dont have nothing wrong with me. I have excessive has and stomach hurts so bad. I even had the scope done and it came out negative. I went to a man that massages for empacho, he told me i am really bad. Heassaged me once but im going back to him again. I was like this before back in 1998 after giving birth to son. I was so miserrable. Woman that massaged me then said i was close to dying. I felt so weak and no food going down. She massaged me 4x and it went away. So i know riggt now im going through same thing. I hope ill get better since i cant take this discomfort any more

Celtics Morning Joe: Celtics friends or foes during All-star weekend
|Posted by shawn cassidy on January 18, 2013 at 6:00 AM
The Celtics don't make friends, and they don't want to for that matter. Rondo, and KG are thrown in the Eastern Conference starting unit with three foes. When it comes to the NBA these days. It seems like the Celtics are a throw back to the old teams that didn't go out, and kiss, and hug each other like a family reunion. Rondo had some good quotes I felt, or at least very dry, and funny to me.
So will Rondo be hanging out with Wade and Melo that weekend?
"Why would I?" asked Rondo.
Rondo was somewhat uneasy about talking about his potential fourth consecutive All-Star game -- and first as a fan-voted starter -- preferring to wait until he got the official call. But he dubbed himself an "entertainer" and said his desire to "put on a show" might have helped his cause with the voting public.
Here's one thing he was definitive on: Rondo won't be very social if he lands at this year's mid-February classic.
"No, I don't do much socializing," he said. "If I make it, I hope one of my homeboys makes it, [Atlanta's] Josh Smith. If he makes it, KG makes it, we'll all [hang out]."
Rondo should be honored. I was reading another blog a week or so ago, and I saw a comment by a fan. They said anyone who doesn't pick Pierce as their favorite player is a bandwagon fan. I can see where that fan is coming from. But Rondo has become my favorite player on this team. Hondo is my all-time favorite, but I think a bandwagon fan is something else. Rondo has earned his spot despite the up, and down year. Rondo needs to soak this one in, because next year Rose will be taking his spot back.
It will make some good TV seeing KG, and Rondo starting along side the thugs,and the dough boy.

Greetings once again from The District!!!!
This was my seventh visit to Washington D.C. and, as usual, it was FABULOUS! Of all of my visits to D.C., this one was, by far, the ABSOLUTE BEST because on February 7th we went to The White House to meet President Obama in The Oval Office. All March of Dimes National Ambassadors have met the President of the United States dating back to FDR, who founded the March of Dimes, and now I am among that very elite group.
President Obama was so nice to us and he welcomed us into The Oval Office like we were family. My little sister Erin and little brother Corbin also got to go into The Oval Office and while we were in there, Corbin went behind President Obama's desk and picked up his telephone. It was so funny to everyone and the President didn't mind at all – how cool was that?
During our visit, President Obama talked with us and thanked us for all of the great things we have done with the March of Dimes. Not only was he very nice and so easy to talk to, he even had gifts for us which was very special. One of the gifts was a pocket sized version of the Constitution, which he autographed to me personally and signed Dream Big Dreams, and another was a special Presidential coin that only certain people can get from him. There were several other gifts that we received, but those two were the most meaningful to me. My mom took the gifts for safe keeping so that my sister and I wouldn't lose or break them – very smart on her part. We also took lots of pictures with him and he signed my National Ambassador card as well.
This will be a day that I will remember for the rest of my life and I am sure that my mom and dad will too. Perhaps the most important part of the visit for my parents was being able to personally thank President Obama for being such an awesome President, especially since they voted for him in 2008 and will vote for him again this year. I don't think my sister and brother will remember what happened on February 7th, but one day they will appreciate that they got to meet the President in his very special office. Thank you so much March of Dimes, White House staff and President Obama for making this one of the most memorable days of my life – I am such a blessed little girl!

Tuition & Financial Aid:
The value of my education to my school is incredible, the teachers know who I am and respond to my emails fairly quickly. My financial aid office is wonderful, and work to help people receive what they deserve.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
This school only cares about taking your money. They will give you the fin aid through fafsa as well as government loans, but they are a rip off. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
There is financial aid available you just need to apply early
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The Tuition is high, but it is to be expected for a private Christian based college. Although, it is expensive to attend Aquinas College, every bit of it is worth the cost for the great education and knowledge I will have obtained in the outcome.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Don't Attend This College. This college is absolutely corrupt. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They will take your money and then flunk you for no justifiable reason. This college has finally been sued on the Federal level, and is well deserving of such publicity. They are white females who do not like males. Don't attend this college, especially the nursing college. They are coalition of bullies and bigots who care only about making money. The academics are extremely sub-par, and the instructors are old, and out of touch with the modern nursing environment. I spent hundreds of dollars on books, dvd's, and other materials to teach myself nursing because the instructors are awful.

Exactly my point, Philli, didn't u read it some posts above? Agree with u..always do XXX
Sharapova played like shit and was KO-ed by an unknown player coming from the qualies. Na Li is still seeking her RG form. Kvitova didn't realize that Wimbledon is long over. Zvonareva keeps showing her limitations. Before them, Wozniacki desperately tried to figure out what's happening to her and what she gotta do to win a slam. Clijsters gets bored and tired of playing tennis. Schiavone is now a very old woman, good for retirement. Jankovic definitely takes Safina's path to make herself completely disappear. Ivanovic tried in vain to resurface and realized that her days are behind her. Kuzi was drowning so deep that she is totally invisible. That's the sad status of the women tennis. The irony is that the 30-year-old and comeback-from-injury Serena is now the favorite to win another USOpen.
Stosur & Vinci playing now. Brit Eurosport http://www.fromsportcom....v-2/12/130/v-333193.html (ESPN2 will mostly obsess with the guys & ignore all this. Update: Just as I figured. ESPN2 spent less than five mins on the women's game then went to Montreal. )
Voskoboeva vs Azarenka up next at the top of the hour (about 40 mins)
Maybe y'all wanna just rag on Masha & ignore the upcomer (like the mouths want you to) but I am interested to--by comparison--see how Vika handles the kontraktnika's style.
Figure she'll pretty much try to bull thru with power & speed. Lezee how that works for her.
Brit Eurosport filling time with replay of Galina-Masha! http://www.fromsportcom....v-2/12/130/v-333193.html
Voskoboeva vs Azarenka starting NOW. Lynn Welch in chair.
On British Eurosport & Eurosport 2 Intl.
I'm in the Shoutbox.
Victoria defeat Galina 61 62!! How sad is that for Maria!!! a score this bad in QF? very SAD!! :(
Galina was fatigued from dismissing Bartoli, Pennetta & Sharapova. :P Vika just did what she does & overwhelmed. I didn't really learn much there.
Learned more closely watching the Masha-Galina replay. See comments in Shoutbox.
Perhaps a little jumpy. Remember, particularly on facebook, Masha speaks to a number of other-than-tennis Sharapova constituencies--in the language they understand.
Yea...This is a bit much. I understand where you're coming from, clearly still upset about her loss (as we all are). But she is a person too. I'm sure she has been more down/sad than we could ever be. She is a girl that likes fashion- its something that she does for therapy, to take her mind off of things. All she can do is go forward from here, dwelling on that disasterous match can't be good for anyone.
I really do agree with this. She is not an experienced player that can pace herself yet. Masha def. took A LOT out of her yesterday.
Don't be so harsh on Maria. Do you not think she is also suffering from the loss? She is very hard on herself and will do her best to improve in the next match. Such is life. I don't believe for one minute that she is actually enjoying herself shopping or sight seeing. She wouldn't be mentioning her sponsor's name if she was just shopping around and having fun. She is under pressure from these big guns to keep plugging their products. Because her matches have been cut short by losing she has to advertise by other means.
She has not wasted anyone's hours. She doesn't hold a gun to anyone's head. We choose to watch her play. Some of us want to support her for one reason or another. I love her fighting spirit, her tenacity and her winning shots. No matter what anyone says, I think Maria tried very hard last night. Yes, she was hitting the ball in the middle of the court a lot. My excuse for her is that she did not want to take any risk because of the strong winds. You can take risks when you are up or ahead but not when you are behind most of the time. I have faith in Maria. She will be ready for USO.

Girl with cat A little Russian girl has become an international star after she was captured on camera saving her cat from a "monster puppy."
In the now-viral video, we see the heroine, who appears to be about three-years-old, heave the cat from the ground and secure him in her arms. With the growling, barking dog nipping at their heels, the toddler marches (unsteadily) along a dirt path with her kitty's safety at the forefront of mind.
Amazing Dog Saves Own Life By Dialing 911 | Webvet
The black-and-white cat -- who is about the same size as the dog mind, you -- appears unfazed by the daring rescue, with paws dangling over his hero's outstretched arms. Eventually she deposits him onto a set of wooden stairs and the kitty scampers away to safety.

it was good, but not super. too
much truffle oil on everything "
Dined on 4/18/2014
This place was outstanding!!! It
was a date night gem.... I have been to a lot of restaraunts but Goose Foot surpased all of them of this caliber! The tastes were small but packed a flavor punch!!!!! The food not only taste good, it was aromatic and beautiful as well! It was expensive but I was full an completely satisfied when I left!"

Meal was outstanding. The chef and
his wife pour their heart into this place and it shows. One if the best restaurants in Chicago."
Dined on 4/17/2014
We had a lovely meal at Goosefoot.
The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the food was inventive and tasty, without being "cute" or overly intricate. While the spacing between courses was sometimes a bit long, it gave us time to enjoy the wine we brought, and the quality of each course made the wait worth it. "
Dined on 4/16/2014
had a great meal there
yesterday. Prix Fix menu - which was well - balanced and really had a perfect mix of dishes. Chef was attentive to all dietary restrictions (it was Passover). would definitely come back again it is bring your own wine or beer"
Dined on 4/16/2014
Dined here on recommendation of a
repeat customer-- and even at $135/person would dine here again. Thoughtful menu, carefully explained by wait staff and entertainingly plated (but not overly complex). Long service- four hours (could have been shorter- but pace is slow, not at all rushed). Beautiful chocolate made on site- not heavy or overly sweet ---and excellent coffee (from Bridgeport)."
Dined on 4/16/2014
We are from Houston and found this
place by doing our "pre trip" food research. Thank you to all who reviewed this restaurant because that is why we went and why we tell others to do the same! I have experienced a lot of tasting menus and am always a little but skeptical of having no say in what I will eat orher than just not going there. Thank goodness I did not let that sway me this time because every course was very special and as beautifully presented! The only thing better than the food was the people who worked there! Everyone was enthusiastic, friendly, and willing to share all of that with you to make you feel your are the most special person in the room. Try it as soon as you can so you can go back again and again!"
Dined on 4/2/2014
Goosefoot is legit. It was a bit
long for 11 courses, but worth it. The scallop was amazing, the soup was the best I've ever had, and the beef simply melted. Overall an outstanding experience... And I will definitely return."
Dined on 4/3/2014
my wife and I had a great night at
goosefoot. the food was outstanding and the level of service is impeccable. Thanks Nina and Chris, can't wait to go back."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Took a while to get a reservation
but it was well worth the wait and the effort. Excellent and exceptionally creative food via the reasonably priced (comparatively) nine course tasting menu at $135... The BYOB policy really helps keep the cost of the meal down. Couple of suggestions: wait between courses was a bit much, particularly in the early going. Took forty minutes before we were at our second taste on the menu. What turned out to be a 3 hour meal would have been perfect at 2 1/2 hours. Not as luxurious in feel or service as L20 or Tru, though it's hardly a complaint. It's just not that frou-frou, and they don't pretend to be. Everyone was very friendly and the whole meal was a truly memorable experience. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 3/19/2014
Food and service is spectacular.
Love the BYOB with fine dining."
Dined on 3/12/2014
9 courses on the menu plus 2 other
little tastes made for a 3 1/2 hour fine-dining experience. This is a $135 prix fixe menu so you eat what is being served. One dish not favored by my palate was the rabbit/acorn/sweetbread/polenta which I ate but I could've done without. With so many courses, portions are small though incredibly attractive with beautiful little edible flowers. My favorite dishes were the chestnut soup, toothfish and angus beef. Service was very attentive but not fussy. We were warmly received by the owner Nina Nugent. The BYO sets Goosefoot apart from other truly fine dining experiences. We will be back for a special occaision if we can snap up a reservation on-line 60 days before we want to go."
Dined on 3/7/2014
The staff make you feel right at
home and very welcome. It was fine dining, but without the stuffiness. Can't wait to go back!"
Dined on 3/5/2014
What a wonderful experience from
start to finish. From the warm greeting at the door, to the lovely space, to the warm and approachable service, to the helpful explanations of each magical dish, to the truly extraordinary (stunning on the plate and the palate, challenging without being overproduced, each bite more memorable than the last) food, this was a meal for the ages. Extra points for being west of Western! Loved every minute and every bite."
Dined on 3/5/2014
The food was extremely great, and
Chef Chris and his wife were amazing hosts. We had the last reservation of the night (9pm) and when our final course arrived, the chef came out and hung out for a while, which was a great way of avoiding the pretentiousness that often comes with such a "foodie" restaurant"
Dined on 2/27/2014
Nice balance between flavor and
inventiveness. Intimate, friendly environment."
Dined on 2/26/2014
The food was absolute perfection.
Every dish was so packed with flavor and obvious love/dedication that eating at this restaurant is truly a wonderful experience. From the call you get a few days before your reservation to the owners talking with you after you've finished eating - everything is so full of personal touches and a high attention to detail. If there is a theme, it might be a mix of natural and whimsical, with the flavors going from intense to INTENSE. My favorite dish was probably the angus beef on the bed of beluga lentils with little bits of compressed apple. I'm drooling just thinking about it hahaha. Oh! and perhaps the little roll of guava mousse(?) that was part of one of the desserts. So, so good. An absolute gem!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
No kidding, Goosefoot serves the
best food we have tasted in Chicago. Immaculate presentation, every dish is a piece of art! This is our second visit after the first two years back. We have been wanting to be back, but it was just so hard to book a table! This is a place for great food, yet not stuffy like other fine dining places. Nina is so warm and a joy to talk to!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Creative, delicious, beautiful
dishes. There was not one course that was not perfect. The service was friendly but not obtrusive."
Dined on 1/31/2014
A small neighborhood resteraunt
that happens to have one of the best chefs in the city. Was hard to get a reservation but so worth the wait. Goosefoot is BYOB so brought wine pairing list to Binnys and their guys hooked me up with some nice bottles. When we walked in we were treated like family and the service was great. I handed off our wine and they brought it out when appropriate. The food was beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. A great chef at the top of his game. 11 courses that started delicate and took me on an amazing journey of taste but never overpowered. The courses were accompanied by micro greens which helped add a nice punch of freshness in the middle of a cold winter. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 1/30/2014
4 hours and 20 minutes on a week
night is simply too long for a nine course menu when you bring our own wine and are not spending time either searching for the right one off an extensive list or ordering before or after dinner drinks dr. Compared to other degustations , Alinea, TRU, etc. it was not an acceptable amount of time to wait each courses ( 45 minutes between course 3 and 4!) Food presentation and incredible tastes were amazing, sorry it was spoiled by poor timing.."
Dined on 1/29/2014
Chef Chris Nugent and his wife had
a dream of opening up a restaurant. With a small staff he had no idea how well this venture would take off. The courses were Fantastic. Chris came out at the end and was just the nicest guy. With no investors, he did not secure an expensive liquor license. We live wine pairings so we'd like to see them drop the BYOB in the future. I hope he could financially benefit from that!"
Dined on 1/29/2014
Cliff Notes: Food was great, a
fantastic blend of taste and art. Only one course was a miss out of roughly eleven. Love the small owner story of Chris (chef) and wife Nina. Only knock, the place is too warm. Staff was quick to adjust the temp. Would go back in a second. goosefoot is great for the neighborhood!"
Dined on 1/15/2014
My husband and I were on a mission
to get a reservation at goosefoot. It did not disappoint. The proprietors were lovely and warm and greeted us as if we were dining with them at their home. The tastings had wonderful flavor and texture and were absolutely beautiful. Although it was a long evening (4 hrs. to be exact) we'll be back."
Dined on 8/30/2013
Having waited so long to finally
get a chance to take in Goosefoot, I can happily report that all the superlatives and accolades that have been heaped on Goosefoot stand true and this dining experience was among the most pleasant I have ever experienced. From the front of the house to the back of the house the dedication and passion Chef Nugent and Nina put in reflects in both the menu, the decor, and their energy to make you feel welcome. I honestly cannot say that I have had a better meal nor felt more comfortable in a fine dining establishment. If you are deciding on where you should go to enjoy some of Chicago's finest cuisine, spend your time and pay a visit to Goosefoot. You will not regret it!!!"
Dined on 1/22/2014
One of the best places to
experience food artistry in Chicago. Every course is beautifully presented with creativity and perfectionism. Amazing flavors. Love the byob aspect. You can tell that chef Nugent and his wife are perfectionists but also so comfortable with what they are doing that their graciousness adds to the experience. Can't wait til the next visit. A pure pleasure in every way!"
Dined on 1/15/2014
Goosefoot is an authentic &
genuine culinary experience from start to finish. Chris and Nina are the perfect pair and it shows in all their team members. Thanks for a wonderful evening."
Dined on 1/16/2014
Dining at goosefoot is an
experience. Plates are beautiful artistic creations. Every course was enjoyable. The restaurant suggests various wines to pair with each course but it's a lot of work to shop for and bring in six+ different bottles of wine to pair with each course. Would be great if they just had their own wine pairing."
Dined on 1/15/2014
My fiancee and I came here for the
anniversary of the date that we met and we both enjoyed it. The food was excellent. My only minor criticism would be that there was a big gap in time between 1 or 2 of the courses, but otherwise the experience was amazing. The Chef came to our table and spoke with us at length about all sorts of stuff and was very friendly. In sum, Goosefoot really lived up to the hype."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Both Chef Chris and his wife Nina
were great. The service was impeccable and the food exceeded me expectations. Chef Chris is an artist and you can see that by the presentation of the food and the dynamic flavors developed in the dishes. Each dish was unique and different but the menu flowed very well. They called us a couple days prior to the reservations to confirm and ask if we were celebrating any special occasion or if anyone in our party had any allergies. This was great because one person in my party did have an allergy to one of the ingredients which the chef took care of fully accommodated us."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Every dish in the Goosefoot
tasting menu is excellent. There is the standard quality and attention to detail that you would expect with the Michelin-rated tasting menu. The staff are all friendly, with no pretention. This is a husband and wife team: he runs the kitchen while she runs the front of the house, making sure to introduce herself and ensure you are well cared for. I've eaten here twice and have not disliked any of the tasting courses. I also like the fact that it is BYOB. While you cannot pair 6-7 different wines throughout the meal, it allows you to bring 1-2 excellent bottles of wine for less than than a standard pairing. I will be dining there again."
Dined on 1/10/2014
The courses were each a delicacy
unto themselves and the food quality, taste, and presentation were all exceptional. The service was attentive but not overbearing and all of the staff and the owners were gracious. Overall, the best dining experience that I have had in Chicago."
Dined on 1/8/2014
I am new to the food scene in
Chicago, even though I am a lifetime resident. The service was impeccable and the small restaurant was cozy, not pretentious. The food is lovingly prepared and the courses, especially the chocolate dessert, were unique and tasty. Chef Nugent is opening a candy store just next door in February. Several courses are new as of 1/7/14. I was able to try them the day they debuted. I'm glad I was finally able to get a reservation after two years."
Dined on 1/8/2014
The food was in short: Amazing.
Every course was maximized with new flavors. The dishes themselves looked beautiful and tasted poetic. If you're looking for a unique experience in Chicago that's not overly commercialized this is it. The focus is really on food and the restaurant is very personalized with a greeting from the chef's wife. We were even given the opportunity to meet the chef briefly. Just sit back and enjoy!"

We have been here a number of
times and will continue to visit regularly. From the moment you walk in, everything is amazing. The portions are much larger than the typical tasting menu. The price is very reasonable in relation to what you get. Considering that it is BYOB....hands down you get your money's worth!"

The food was amazing, particularly
the mind-blowing dessert. However, service was a little slow. I know it's supposed to be an experience to be savored, but the gap between courses seemed too large at times. Overall an outstanding dining experience."

Outstanding dinner. The ambience,
the husband and wife team, service, food, price, etc... really make this place deserving of the recognition its earned over the last 2 years. We were privileged to be dining on the day of its 2 year anniversary. We were provided with a nice gift as an appreciation for our business. The chef came over to talk about our experience. Extremely dedicated and very humble of the recognition. A place we will frequent and recommend to all of our friends. Cheers!"

Huge fan of being able to bring in
my own special bottles to enjoy while being treated to a five star meal. Chef Nugent is right on point, this place is great."

BYO with no corkage combined with
a fresh and inventive tasting menu combine for one of the better experiences in the city."

We had been trying to get
reservations for over a year, so we celebrated two birthdays with Goosefoot! It was all worth it, though, from the first beet bite to the last bit of chocolate and talking with the chef and his wife. Strong flavors, whether lemongrass gel, a mini turnip, or squash puree, and perfectly cooked fish/duck/beef. A place to really enjoy the food, nothing too mind-blowing, just delicious, well executed plates that look as great as they taste, edible flowers adorning and everything composed like art."
