We went back and tried to unpack a little, and get our things in order. I knew if we even sat down that would be it. We'd sleep through the entire first day, so we hurried out of the room for the "sail away" party.
I think we were the last to sail away...
Sidney was having a grand time.
I was crying my eyes out feeling like I had neglected my son. I know parents go on trips all the time without their families, but this girl can't do it and feel right. It tears me up to leave them behind, and this was my first time ever doing it, and I was leaving the darn COUNTRY!!!! I was all nerves and emotional.
I was on the phone with my baby during all of this. He wanted to hear the horn sound and he did.
Still looks empty, huh?
Well, it wasn't. Just so happens this ship was full, and it was full of kids! Someone took advantage of kids sail free!
And we were off to the open Atlantic and leaving Miami. Empty stomach, tears running down my face...would it get better?

Real life. Real tough.
"... I was leaving the job site after a long day with a trailer. While I was merging on to the Interstate the trailer wheels caught the shoulder of the road and caused the truck to fish tail and eventually roll three times down the side of the road. When the sun came up and we could see the wreckage, the truck was a total loss and the toolbox was separated about 50 yards away upside down. When we rolled it over and pushed the latch button the lid opened up. That was five years ago and the box is still in use, dents and all."

Arlyck spends more time following himself and his own lefty family than checking up on Sean.

RaviR.May 10, 2006I know we tend to rate most highly those movies we've seen most recently, but I cannot recommend _Following Sean_ too highly. Engaging, funny, brilliant, simultaneously comforting and uncomfortable, and observant, the movie asks us to confront our own lives' narratives; received wisdom about the 1960s and even more recent American history; the meaning of adulthood, and a thousand other things. It made me think in a way films rarely can -- the way books more often can -- but couldn't possibly give me a headache. And as for technical elements, the editing and narration are perfect, and the granular texture of the film itself complements that of the families' stories. I actually loved _Following Sean_, and came upon this site while looking for information about whether it will ever be released as a DVD. I rarely buy movies, but I'll buy this one.… Full Review »

What do you eat when sick?
I've had a nice fever and nasty cold for the past few days and have been eating chicken soup with rice and steamed pork dumplings on the side.
I'm just curious to see what other people crave when they are sick.
Used to be hot & sour soup, too bad it seems all I can get anymore is tasteless brown dreck. Also like non-herbal tea with milk & honey, mmmm comfort.
My husband got deathly ill in New Orleans few years ago (bad oyster?) & all he could keep down was won-ton soup, luckily there was a great carryout a couple blocks from our (awful) hotel!
Whenever I have a cold or a stuffy nose I crave spicy (It's all I can taste)and crunchy (for the texture) food. The last time I had a cold I ate a whole jar of mini dill pickles because of the texture.
When I have a stomach ache I eat alot of oatmeal and potatoes (baked, mashed, french fries).
re: Das Ubergeek
What is juk? Also, congee?
re: ncs821
Juk and congee are words for rice porridge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congee
re: Das Ubergeek
Yes Tom Yum for a cold!
And ginger ale for stomach problems is the only time I drink any soda at all.
re: Das Ubergeek
Not sure if it's the same, but Tom Ka Gai is spectacular when you're sick
re: mellycooks
Tom kha gai and and tom yum gai are related, but tom kha gai has coconut milk in it and tom yum gai doesn't.
re: Das Ubergeek
I like juk too when I'm sick--chicken soup base and just juk with a little bit of salt if I am super sick.
Tis the season - everyone I know is sick, including me! For me, I crave basically really spicy broths - hot and sour soup, spicy pho, chicken with plenty of hot sauce...
i always crave spicy or salty foods. who am i kidding when i have a cold i'm constantly hungry and i will eat everything.
if i am deathly ill and i can't keep anything down i drink powerade and eat bananas, which is weird because i hate bananas. and powerade. but its the only thing that stays down, and i crave bananas.
re: RiJaAr
I am like you, when I'm sick I find that I'm super hungry. I would have to be dying to not want to eat at all.
Wonton soup. It's the combination of the thick wontons and the hot broth that always make me feel better.
re: rcallner
There is a new chicken pho recipe in the brand new Cuisine At Home.
re: personalcheffie
Nice! Thanks for the site referral.
Once when I was sick I made the kind of lemonade where you start by making a cooked lemon syrup. It really hit the spot.
I'm a picky eater anyway, much more so when I'm sick.
When I was little we lived in the Midwest, where you were guaranteed to get a viral bug every winter. We ate only clear or white things till we were feeling better (drs orders) and I still do this today. Like rice, boiled potato ...
The slightest sniffle causes me to overdose on Tortellini in Chicken Broth with tons of Parm & Cracked Black Pepper. A snowstorm, rainstorm or cloudy day often causes the same reaction.
Hot and sour soup is what I crave or chicken and rice soup.OH AND MY FAVORITE mEXICAN PLACE makes a soup with a clear broth and meatballs that I also like only when I am sick.
if it's a cold, kimchi jigae hands down. or thai food
if i'm nauseous or have stomach flu, then something milder like pho, or sullongtang.
re: Andiereid
Saltines - that reminds me of what my grandma used to make for me as a child when I was sick - she'd soak crackers in hot water and add sugar, have to try that again next time!
Well after being sick for a couple days and not being able to eat anything, I still like what my mother would make when I was young. She would make me some toast, very dark toast, butter it with lots of butter, then drizzle boiling water over to soften and melt the butter. I know this sounds awful but it always made our stomach feel good.
Ginger Ale
Chicken broth
And then eventually eating
Bland toast
Udon with nothing in it
..I long for the day I can eat sausage and broccoli rabe (that awaits me in the frig). In the meantime, today, I am moving up to Chicken Soup (Kosher).
If it's a cold/upper respiratory thing, then:
Hot and sour soup
Chicken pho
Thai coconut chicken soup
fresh squeezed orange juice or orange/carrot
Trader Joe's lemon ginger juice, heated up
If it's more of a stomach problem, then:
Campbell's chicken noodle soup
canned pears or mandarin oranges
re: Sugar Jones
If I get the flu, the first thing that happens is a raging sore throat, so the last thing on my mind is something spicy!
I crave ginger ale, and a disgusting concotion my mother made for me as a kid when I was ill. It's a poached egg on buttered toast with warm milk poured over all. I still don't know that it's appropriate when you're sick. Butter? Warm milk? Not easy to digest, but I still want it.
I also want vegetable soup and plain rice. I used to get it at a Vietnamese restaurant called Kim Son on the way home from work when I lived in Durham, NC. It wasn't pho broth, but more a chicken broth with star anise and other flavors, plus very fresh veggies added at the last. I miss her soup!
Ginger Ale - the small little bottles, but with a straw that bends please, don't' forget the straw. Or I cry.
Water-in a bottle extra cold.
Chicken boullion in VERY hot mug -burn my mouth hot
Cream of wheat - made with water -soupy, not clumpy,never ever
Then when I feel a little better I want Tacos, or refried beans and the beans must be really soupy with lots and lots of hot sauce.
I will eat this and this only, and I did this past week and not much else, trust me.
Feeling much better now....
And just to add a footnote. this is the first time that i have been sick where everything that came next to my nose and mouth smelled like AMMONIA and then if I ate it I would taste ammonia and like someone dumped a bucket of salt in my food..... anyone else go through tastebud/smell problems?
re: chef chicklet
Last bad cold I had, everything except ginger ale tasted like salted cardboard. Ugh.
re: meb903
Love you.
Lots and lots of chopped garlic in chicken broth and a big squeeze of lemon right before eating. It's a home remedy that I've grown to actually crave now.
Otherwise, Mexican soups like albondigas, pozoles, caldo de res.
hot and sour soup
won ton noodle soup
duck and bok choy egg noodle soup
chow fun
pad see ew
ten ingredients lo mein
matzoh ball soup
chicken noodle soup
korean spicy beef soup
re: Notorious EMDB
Aw, my grandmother did that too with jello, and put it in a thermos. That is good stuff ...
Thai chicken soup (Tom Kai Ki (sp)) Wonderful for clearing the sinuses. And I am convinced it it is better than sudafed! Just downed 2 bowls this week. Lemongrass, chicken, shrooms, hot stuff and coconut milk.
I typically crave spicy food - a red chile, bean, and cheese burrito is the perfect comfort food. I also drink a lot of hot chocolate.
The first few days I'll drink tea and eat homemade biscuits (if I'm feeling fancy I'll make scones, if I'm down for the count my husband will bring home croissants). I should mention that I make the biscuits or scones the moment I feel that scratchy sensation in my throat so I don't have to cook while I'm ill. After that, I like spicy food (if I'm congested), hot soups, oatmeal - foods that are soft and warm. For me, its all about comfort.
My boss swears by her cold remedy "The 4 S's". They consist of:
Soup (Chicken of course)
Salt (saltwater, either gargled or swished in mouth)
Steam (bring pot of water to steam, inhale deeply for several minutes. A towel will help you do this without burning your face off)
Sleep (lots of)
Scotch (straight or on the rocks. Be sure to do this last, lest you forget to do the first four! Except the sleep of course.)
re: mellycooks
Your boss must be better at home remedies than she is at math.
re: mudster
Nope, just me, I meant 5 Ss. Must've had too much of that last one before I posted. :)
When I'm getting a head cold I find myself craving tuna - in fact, that's usually a key sign that I'm getting sick. Tuna hotdish works, as does a tuna-salad sandwich or tuna macaroni salad, but most often I want a hot tuna like Mom made: toast a piece of bread on one side - once nice and brown, flip it over and cover the untoasted side with tuna salad, sprinkle with parmesean cheese and run under the broiler until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
When I'm in the throes of a URI I want water and nothing else - if I can't taste what I'm eating then I don't want to bother consuming anything.
pastina with butter, black pepper and grated reggiano. cures what ails ya! ginger ale is good too.
i just had a small dish of sticky toffee pudding with fresh cream on it and that seemed to perk me up a bit.
Ramen (yes the cheap kind), with a ton of firm silken tofu, some green onions, and hot sauce--the hot sauce proportional to how congested I am.
soft boiled eggs with buttered toast sliced into strips to dip in the eggs (my friend calls them 'little soldiers')
tons of tea
tons of club soda with juice (2:1 ratio)
sometimes ginger steeped in boiling water.
when i'm on the mend, i crave rare steak and sauteed spinach.
Although, it has been years (being sick), touching wood. Chicken Soup is a must, with plenty of garlic.
Actually, I have it regularly more or less as a preventive, 2 or 3 times a month.
Chicken soup. Rice with just a little butter and salt. Spring water with lemon juice, no sugar. Gingerale. Saltines. Oranges. Apples. Bananas. Malto-Meal with salt and butter, though cannot find it in Florida. My mother used make, when I was sick when a child - good white bread sliced, buttered (real butter), sprinkled with sugar and then lots of good cinnamon and then toasted in the oven, then put in a bowl or saucer, then milk (warm, I think) poured over it (I guess that is milk toast). I loved it, and used to fix it for my children sometimes, but had forgotten about it.
re: Sugar Jones
i have the same but add a spoonful of grated ginger and honey.
re: BellaDonna
you are NOT the only one!!! when i am sick, FRENCH FRIES are the ONLY thing that makes me feel better! I've been sick all morning and the Grubhub order I just placed consists of a cheesesteak, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, french fries, and mountain dew....WEIRD!
Raisin Bran. It's the only time I can really eat it. Ginger Ale (when I was a kid it was 7-Up, but I prefer Ginger Ale now).
Last year I came down with stomach flu on New Year's Day. The next day was also a holiday, and I wanted to make eggs benedict for breakfast. I'd even gone and bought an egg poacher for the occasion. But when I put it all together, the smell of it made me sick. So Mike got a double order of eggs benedict, and I got a piece of toast and a glass of ginger ale.
re: revsharkie
I've been suffering from a head cold and hacking cough for the past few days and am in a quandry 'cause my customary sick bed "goto food delivery" (2nd Ave Deli) has shut its doors.
Typically, I ordered a few pints of matzoh ball noodle soup and an order of chopped liver w/ rye bread.
I've tried to find a replacement soup but so far none have come close.
Oh and a few days ago I ordered in sushi and miso soup. That was first for a sick food craving/order
I find that when I have a headcold or sinus infection coming on, red wine sounds wonderful (along wth soup, tortellini pasta in broth, etc)...I don't know why. I guess it helps me sleep and is warming.
I love congee when I am sick (stomach or heart.)
When I start to feel better after a cold or the like, I find myself craving popcorn (made fresh with plenty of salt and a little butter.)
re: Mr. Cookie
Recipe please, Mr. Cookie, if you have time?
re: thegolferbitch
this is a fairly quick version. hope it's not too hard to follow:
poach three boneless chicken 1/2 breasts in water spiced with peppercorns, salt and bay leaf. cool, shred the meat and set aside.
skin and seed three medium tomatoes, and mash them to pulp.
saute 3/4 cup finely chopped onion until translucent. (you can add finely chopped chile pepper to this if desired -- serranos work well. you'll probably want to seed them first!)
add the mashed tomato and saute on medium-low heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
meanwhile, heat 6 cups chicken broth. Add the juice of three limes, 1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano and 1-1/2 tsp. dried basil. simmer for 5-10 minutes; add salt and pepper to taste.
while the broth is heating, dice an avocado and grate some jack cheese. you serve these separately, alongside the soup, with tortilla chips or strips (or fried fresh tortillas cut into strips).
when the broth is ready, add the onion-tomato mixture and the shredded chicken, and bring to a simmer again.
ladle the soup into warm bowls. at the table, each individual can spoon avocado chunks into the soup, crumble some tortilla chips on top and sprinkle the grated cheese on top of that.
makes about 4-5 large bowls.
re: Mr. Cookie
I have never thought of putting avocado in soup...this sounds incredible. I'll try it. Thanks!
I've been living on rice for the last couple of days while I am having a bout of stomach flu.
A couple of nights ago I was feeling a little achy and about-to-get-a-cold-ish. I had already planned to make "chicken and salsa soup" for supper, and so I proceeded to make that, with some hot salsa I had left over from something.
Next morning I woke up feeling pretty much fine. I guess you can argue whether or not the soup gets the credit, but you never know!
Chicken soup doused liberally with Cholula and ginger slices.
I also crave ice cold regular Coca Cola when ill...and only then. Weird.
For an upset stomach - reduced fat Pringles or pretzels.
For a cold, sore throat - chicken soup with many sinus clearing spices, onions, spinach. (To cool down in the next meal from the heat of the spicy soup, Lightlife brand (soy) balogna on toasted pumpernickel bagel with mayo and iceberg lettuce - don't ask me why, but this sandwich is very easy going down and is cooling, complimenting the previously imbibed soup.)
For anxiety, depression - chocolate, other sweets, pizza, nuts, peanut butter on bread.
For rebalancing and centering and all around feeling of ecstasy, or at least, peacefulness - particular Indian dishes, tunafish salad on toasted bagel (pumpernickel or poppy seed).
Chicken soup - any flavour as long as it's got lots of soothing stock in it.
For a sore throat, honey-and-lemon drinks (half a fresh lemon and a tablespoon of honey dissolved in hot water)
And for some reason when I'm coldish I crave rice pudding and custard (I know they say you're not 'supposed' to have dairy but it doesn't seem to hurt and it's terribly soothing to the throat.) Maybe I should find a recipe for congee - that's a savoury rice porridge!
PS. I forgot toast and honey for when my tummy's a bit squicky and I can't stomach the thought of 'real food'.
Definitely soup for a cold.... matzo ball or something with clear broth......... when I have a stomach flu or something of that nature, usually the only thing I will eat is bread, a bagel, or plain pasta
hobak juk - pumpkin porridge
or If I have a hangover or a cold (and want something spicy) I like soondae guk (blood sausage soup) or koong na mul guk (bean sprout soup) with lots of gochugaru thrown in.
oh and my favorite juk in the whole world is when my grandmother made me some in korea when I was feeling a little under the weather. You take burnt rice (nu run gee) well its not really burnt, more like toasted, and then you boil it in some water. Basically toasted rice juk with no flavourings not even salt
My wife goes for Tang and Angel Hair pasta with butter and salt.
I go for wonton soup, congee and/or pho. I'm pretty convinced that pho can cure anything that's wrong with you.
I second the craving above for super cold Coke Classic (alternating with genmai cha).
When I am sick (which is very rare), I want either Chicken with Stars soup (love feeling those little stars sliding down my sore throat) or Beefaroni with butter and cheese. Normally, I don't eat these things, but when I'm sick, I like to revert to my childhood. Good thing it only happens once every couple of years.
When I was in bed recovering from food poisoning, I discovered that grissini (those plain, super-thin breadsticks) are way better than saltines--all the chomping, crunching action can take place inside your mouth, so you don't end up with bed crumbs.
Also, tonic water. It was the only thing I could bear to swallow for a day or two, and I swear I've never enjoyed a beverage more.
I've been sick with 2 different things this winter: stomach flu, sinus infection. Both times, all I wanted was oatmeal follwed by long naps.
Aside from the usual remedies, I indulge in Coke and potato chips. Only time I eat that stuff, and they always make me feel better.
Usually, a broth, or Ramen. Depending on the sickness, I might "heat" thing up a bit, but that is personal.
Swine flu during the big breakout a couple of years ago with a raging 102 plus fever, one day the best New York style cheese pizza in town, the next the best brisket and pork ribs in town, Houston. I got it to go and used a bunch of sanitizer before I went in and tried not to breath on anyone. I crave crazy concoctions when ill, I see fried chicken and oysters on the next big sickness.
re: James Cristinian
my dad likes chilidogs when he is sick...and odd things too
re: girloftheworld
I'll ad James Coney Island, a local institution to my sick list. I've done flu shots the last two years and they worked, but you never know.
re: James Cristinian
LOL I had to crack the code to the coney islander chili from Tulsa for my dad..it is famous too... if you get sick Ill send ya some... When mom had brain surgery she just wanted homemade bagels with melted butter..
re: girloftheworld
Old thread, but somehow I missed the homemade bagels and butter reply, sounds great. Hope your mom is doing well!
re: James Cristinian
She is back to normal( as normal as being my mother anybody can be) Thank you for asking.
It depends on the type of illness for me. I like ginger ale for all illnesses. For a cold I like wonton soup, chicken noodle soup, broccoli cheddar soup and crackers. For a sore throat nothing beats a cola slurpee. For a stomache virus I usually just munch on crunchy breadsticks. I consumed A LOT of soup my first year teaching!
It depends, if I have a cold I usually go with soup and crackers. But if I have a sore throat or some other pain, all I want is soft serve ice cream!! It's horrible because I feel like I gain 5 lbs every time I get a sore throat or get hurt.
Chicken soup of any ethnicity. Greek, Hungarian, American.
french fries. Roasted potatoes. And various odd foods, depending on how I feel.
English tea with whiskey and honey,
Ginger ale. Blenheim spicy (red cap).
Noodles and butter/parmesan. Plain toasted cheese sandwiches.
Dark miso soup with a beaten egg gently stirred into it. Sort of miso egg-drop soup. Great for colds or hangovers.
Hot shredded wheat patty with a fried egg on top.
With a slotted spoon, lower the patty into boiling water for just a second or so, drain, put it into a bowl, pats of butter on top, top with an over easy egg, break the yolk and add salt.
It's the only thing I want when I'm sick, and it's the only time I eat it.
i love ice cream when i am feeling really sick.
my mom would always say no dairy or cold foods when sick as a child, so one day as an adult, i tried it, i find it extremely helpful!
to each their own!
Rarely sick since I consume a lot of raw garlic but my once a decade cold, I usually do a chicken noodle soup with a Serrano chile chopped up with a sleeve of saltines in the bowl with a pat of butter, lots of fresh coarsely ground pepper and sea salt.
I also love a tomato sandwich on rye with gobbs of mayo and jalapeno kettle chips smashed together with a big ice tea..
re: Beach Chick
" since I consume a lot of raw garlic "
Does this boost your immune system?
re: Beach Chick
Cool- I thought it was interesting that it could interact with blood thinning medication causing it to be stronger..maybe that is why vampires dont like garlic hahahaha
Congee, pho, ramen, anything soupy with noodles in it. Occasionally, a zhong with the fatty pork in it.
When my IBS kicks in, I stop eating...sadly.
When I am sick my mom always makes me the best chicken noodle soup, instead, I am always craving ice cream!

With record-breaking ratings over the last two episodes of HBO vampire series True Blood, they are set to break through the roof when starlet Evan Rachel Wood makes her guest-starring debut on Sunday night in the US.
The fiery redhead will play 1,100 year-old Queen Sophie-Anne who doesn't look a day over 20.
"I don't know if I am having sex with anyone yet," the actress tells a US magazine. "But I certainly have a steamy scene with someone that I don't think you'd really expect."
She had nothing but praise for the actors on set, including newly engaged couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, whose love transcended offscreen. And the hunky actor recently revealed it was True Blood that inspired his proposal to the Oscar-winning actress.

Reclaiming the Islamic Intellectual Tradition: Islamic Texts Society and its Publications.
The first publication of the Islamic Texts Society was Martin Lings' Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, a book that is regarded as the best English language biography of the Prophet of Islam. In fact, this biography is one of the finest single-volume works of sirah ever written in any language. Its thoroughly researched material is combined with an intense sensibility and immediacy to the sources, as if the author has lived and relived that era of fundamental changes in human history. The exactitude of its expressions, the subtly of its language and the detailed narration of events has made this award-winning book an enduring legacy.
Since then, the Islamic Texts Society has embarked upon a publication program that has produced many acclaimed works. ITS has published material that has never before been available to English readership, including translations of unpublished manuscripts and the works of contemporary scholars from around the world. The Society's high standards have been maintained with each and every text. To date ITS has published over forty books.
The long term aim of the Islamic Texts Society is to provide a comprehensive selection of books on various aspects of Islam. Publications range from outstanding individual new works by contemporary scholars in their respective fields to revised and updated editions of classic texts to translations of hitherto unpublished manuscripts.
A major thrust of the Islamic Texts Society is to bring the works of Muhammad Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 1111) to a wide English readership. Al-Ghazali's wisdom and influence render him as one of Islam's most important scholars and his works have been studied throughout the Muslim world for centuries. To date, the Society has published five volumes in their al-Ghazali Series, of which two have won the British Book Design and Production Award for the best general paperback: Al-Ghazali on Invocations and Supplications (1991) and Al-Ghazali on the Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God (1993).
Another series of the Society is the Muslim Personalities Series. Dedicated to the lives, ideas, and writings of major Muslim scholars who have contributed to Islamic thought throughout the centuries, this series aims to bring out scholarly monographs for the general public.
Books published by the Society fall into seven broad categories: (i) Qur'an, Sirah and Hadith; (ii) Islamic Law and Jurisprudence; (iii) The al-Ghazali Series; (iv) Muslim Personalities Series; (v) Translations from the Islamic Heritage; (vi) Monographs on Spirituality and Sufism; and (vii) General Titles on Islam.
Qur'an, Sirah and Hadith
In 1983, the Islamic Texts Society published an edition of the Qur'an that can easily be considered the most beautiful twentieth century edition of a book that has always attracted the finest artisans and calligraphers in Muslim history. Reproduced from an exquisite Arabic type that was handset at the beginning of the twentieth century, the text is very legible. The book is 848 pages, printed on off-white, wood-free paper that was produced specifically for this Qur'an. The ink, also, was especially produced to meet the highest standards and splendid title pages, endpapers and the frames and ornamentation on every page are printed in gold, blue and black. The cover design was adapted from a Moroccan binding of the ninth century hijra (fifteenth century CE) by Dr. Mahmud Rasch. Even though this is a very expensive book (500 British pounds for leather and 350 pounds for linen), combining traditional techniques and motives with modern technology, it is a masterpiece.
For Muslims, hadith literature ranks second to the Qur'an in importance. In 1993, the Islamic Texts Society republished a revised edition of Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi's book Hadith Literature, Its Origin, Development and Special Features. It deals with all aspects of origin, classification, and authenticity of hadith, the problems of falsification of the material and a systematic approach to the literature. In 1997, two bilingual companion volumes appeared: the popular An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith and Forty Hadith Qudsi. Translated by Ezzeddin Ibrahim and Denys Johnson-Davies with an aim to produce a translation for accuracy and readability, the books are printed with the original Arabic alongside the English translation.
Sirah literature deals with the life of Prophet Muhammad, and ITS has published two definitive biographies. The biography by Martin Lings, which has subsequently appeared in nearly a dozen languages since ITS first published it, has been reprinted in English several times to meet the needs of the market. The other sirah book is essentially ITS' only book for children: The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (1985) is a retelling of the story based on traditional biographical material by Leila Azzam and Aisha Gouveneur. The authors have written this book to make sirah easily accessible for children, and have included passages from the Qur'an and ahadith. The book's color illustrations sensitively depict traditional scenes in Arab life without portraying the Prophet or his companions.
Islamic Law and Jurisprudence
The discipline of usul al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence) has many branches, and in 1987 ITS published a translation of al-Shafi i's Risala, a book that laid the foundations for Islamic jurisprudence in the second Islamic century. Recently, it has launched a series on Fundamental Rights and Liberties in Islam, and produced three volumes authored by M. Hashim Kamali: The Dignity of Man (2001), Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam (2001), and Freedom of Expression in Islam (1997). Another important work is On Schacht's Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence (1996) by M. M. Al-Azami, which presents a detailed critique of a classic Western work from an Islamic perspective.
The Al-Ghazali Series
Numerous translators are working on different books of al-Ghazali's Ihya' Ulum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), a book regarded as a perennial fount of wisdom. This major work on spirituality from the eleventh century has forty chapters that deal with knowledge, religious requirements, social relationships, behavior, and the inner life of the soul. By bringing these new publications of a time-honored text into our hands, the Islamic Texts Society is making a great contribution to the world. No doubt, the al-Ghazali Series will prove to be a long-term project.
Other books include a bilingual edition of al-Ghazali's Letter to a Disciple (2003) and the award-winning The Ninety-nine Beautiful Names of God (1992).
Muslim Personalities Series
The growth and development of Islamic civilization and culture was marked by major voices through the ages and ITS aims to focus on the lives of major figures who made significant contributions. This series will reflect current research and aims to prompt further investigation on not just religious scholars, but other intellectual giants in fields such as philosophy, architecture, mathematics, and poetry.
The first book in the series is on Ibn Arabi: The Voyage of No Return (2000) by Claude Addas. (It is notable that ITS has three other publications on Ibn Arabi in their Monographs on Spirituality and Sufism.) Other titles in the Muslim Personalities Series include Avicenna, Intuitions of the Truth (2004) and Mulla Sadra, Philosopher of the Mystics (2003), with plans for new titles dedicated to Shafi i, Tabari and Farabi.
Translations from the Islamic Heritage
A hallmark of ITS' books are that the translations are done by scholars of the language as well as of the material. For example, Penelope Johnstone who translated the fourteenth century text of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, al-Tib al-Nabawi (Medicine of the Prophet, 1998) has a doctorate in the history of Arabic medicine and teaches Arabic at Oxford University. Peter Avery, who translated Farid ud-Din Attar's Persian classic, Mantiq ut-Tayr (The Speech of the Birds, 1998) was a Persian lecturer at Cambridge University for thirty-two years. Some of the titles feature an Arabic-English parallel text, glossary, bibliography and/or index. Many of the titles appear in English for the first time, such as Vincent Cornell's translation of The Way of Abu Madyan (1996), and Tosum Bayrak's interpretation of the eleventh century text Sirr al-Asrar by Hadrat Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (The Secret of Secrets, 1992). Other titles include Ibn Taymiyya's fourteenth century work on the merits of prayer, The Goodly Word (2003), and Al-Nawawi's al-Maqasid, a classic thirteenth century Manual of Islam (1996).
Monographs on Spirituality and Sufism
The monographs include titles by Martin Lings, a foremost authority on Islamic mysticism: the bilingual edition Sufi Poems, a Medieval Anthology (2003), What is Sufism? (1993), A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century, Shaikh Ahmad al- Alawi (1993), and The Book of Certainty, The Sufi Doctrine of Faith, Vision and Gnosis (1992). Titles on Ibn Arabi include Sufi Metaphysics and Qur'anic Prophets (2003), Quest for the Red Sulphur (1993), and The Seal of the Saints (1993).
General Titles on Islam
It is in the selection of material available in general titles on Islam that ITS shows its exacting standards of quality in content, highlighting the intellectual tradition of Islamic thought alongside modern contemporary works.
The classic eight-volume Arabic language dictionary by E. W. Lane which has been used for one and a half centuries is published by ITS in two compact volumes, Arabic-English Lexicon (1984). The whole of Arabic grammar is covered in Alan Jones' Arabic Through the Qur'an (2004). A true work of art in text and illustration is Titus Burckhardt's Fez, City of Islam (1992) with forty-one colour plates and 17 monochrome plates.
ITS has reproduced several titles dealing with the Islamic scientific tradition, notably Osman Bakar's two titles Classification of Knowledge in Islam (1998) and The History and Philosophy of Islamic Science (1998) and Seyyed Hossein Nasr's Science and Civilization in Islam (1987). Other titles by Seyyed Hossein Nasr include updated and revised editions of Ideals and Realities of Islam (2001), Islam and the Plight of Modern Man (2002), and his comprehensive exposition A Guide to the Modern World (1994). ITS has published three titles by Gai Eaton: Remembering God, Reflections on Islam (2000), a newly revised edition of Islam and the Destiny of Man (1994), and King of the Castle, Choice and Responsibility in the Modern World (1990).
The world-wide distribution of ITS publications through small publishers and individual representatives has made them available in many countries. Egypt, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Pakistan, the Far East, Australia, Scandinavia, Spain/Portugal, United States, and the United Kingdom each have regional representatives, and in the last several years the ITS website has made everything accessible online.
It is unfortunate that after more than two decades, the Islamic Texts Society has still not become a viable commercial enterprise. With the outstanding books it produces, its market should, and could, surpass that of other commercial publishers. Is it due to a lack of investment in areas of marketing, promotion, and distribution? Although most of the publications of the Society have met commercial success, it remains a small publishing house. In this, it shares perhaps the greatest handicap faced by all Western publishing ventures dealing exclusively with Islam and Muslims; although there is a huge market and an urgent need, small-scale, family owned or cooperative publishing houses can simply not compete in a society designed for mass production. As a result, publishers dealing exclusively with Islam and Muslims have to rely on donations. As a registered charity, the Islamic Texts Society is dependent on fund-raising to achieve its aims and objectives. This financial handicap has not only limited the number of works ITS has been able to produce, it has also deprived the world at large of valuable translations of important books of Islamic thought.
Certainly the aesthetic sensibility of design and high quality content are outstanding features of ITS publications, in many ways being the contemporary glimmerings of traditional Islamic craft and authentic writing. The Islamic Texts Society will never be short of material for publication; so much yet remains to be brought to the printed page. Perhaps generous patronage by wealthy Muslims can solve the financial problems of ITS whose publications are a welcome addition to the books on Islam and Islamic thought.

DETROIT (AP) -- An alliance of Michigan's three largest universities leads others in the number of degrees it awards but lags in transferring technology out of the classroom and into commercial ventures.
A report released Tuesday finds the University Research Corridor tops the list of seven other major university networks nationwide for the number of degrees, particularly in high technology. But the alliance consisting of University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University places next to last in technology transfer.
The report ranks Michigan's alliance second among university groups in an overall Innovation Power Ranking that includes technology transfer, talent and research. The report says the last two more closely align with universities' core mission, though commercialization is increasingly important.
The URC commissioned the report by East Lansing-based Anderson Economic Group.

Last night I made some scones for today's breakfast. I served them with a lesser-known topping, lingonberry jam. I enjoy eating lingonberries now and then because they are really good, and they remind me of my Norwegian heritage.
According to Wikipedia, lingonberry jam is a staple of Scandinavian cuisine. The berries grow abundantly in the inland forests there. People often gather them and prepare a fresh jam using just the berries, sugar, and a small amount of water. They put it on everything from pancakes to meatballs.
I used to have a hard time finding the jam here in the Denver area. Sometimes I made the long drive to the Sons of Norway lodge in Lakewood to buy it from their gift shop. When I did, we savored every bite of this rare treat.
In recent years, lingonberry jam has appeared more often on the shelves of my local supermarket. The IKEA stores sell it, too. Consequently, people are becoming more familiar with this Scandinavian delicacy.
We have begun keeping a jar of lingonberry jam on our pantry shelf. You never know when one of us will get a craving for it, just like I did this morning.
Write Now
This week I am supposed to be writing the biographical sketch of my four Finnish great-great grandparents. Yet like many genealogists I know, I cannot resist doing that one little bit more of research.
Consequently, this week I have not written one word about these ancestors, but I have done more research on them. In the Finnish records I located and documented a birth family for my great-great grandfather Anders Abelson Mattila.
Earlier this year we found that his family came from the Lapinjärvi parish in southern Finland. They lived in the Mattila house in the Kimoböle village. From the parish register, I now know that his parents Abel Andersson and Greta Caspersdatter had at least five children:
- Eva, born 17 March 1824
- Anders, born 4 November 1826
- Abel, born 26 August 1829
- Anna, born 16 December 1832
- Johannes, born 8 February 1842
The large gap between the births of Anna and Johannes suggests to me that I am missing some children. Did the family live and register births in another parish for a while? Was there a string of miscarriages and stillbirths? Did Abel and Greta live apart for some reason?
I would love to dive into these questions, but I really, really need to get started with my writing so I can send it out for Christmas. As a wise genealogist told me once, at some point you just need to get busy with the story and tell yourself, "NO MORE RESEARCH." For me the time has arrived for me to write. Now.
Seminars, Anyone?
Last weekend we went to the fall seminar put on by our local Palatines to America (PalAm) group. They host these twice a year, and I have regularly attended these learning opportunities.
I began going several years ago when the Palatines leadership made the decision to bring in nationally-known speakers for these seminars. They put on great, fun events with good attendance. They would meet in a local hotel, sell German research materials, serve a German lunch, and once a year would stay late for a German dinner. We all learned a lot from these wonderful speakers as we enjoyed our ethnic food and fellowship.
Things started to change a couple of years ago. The group could not find a hotel to take their business. Apparently a bunch of sober Germans does not provide the bar revenue a hotel can get for a wedding reception on a Saturday. The PalAm events moved to the Denver Public Library.
Of course we could not enjoy all our German cuisine at the library, so meals turned into an on-you-own affair. The library does not provide tables for attendees to use. We also have to pay to park while visiting the library. I have not enjoyed these events as much as I used to.
Now this year, the group engaged a little-known speaker. I signed up anyway because the seminar topics looked good. I am sorry to say, I came away disappointed. I prefer to have seminar topics discussed in some depth. This time around, everything sounded pretty dumbed down and repetitive to me. I have been at this genealogy game for a long time, and I wish this seminar had been advertised as appropriate primarily for beginners.
Will I go to the PalAm seminer next time? It depends. I still like the opportunity to see my genealogy friends, and the PalAm group always has an awesome book table at their seminars. But the fun is gone from this event, and there is no reason for me to go if the speaker gives just an entry-level presentation.
I have attended a lot of genealogy seminars over the years. I usually attend most of them in the Denver area in an effort to learn more and to support the local genealogy community. But I cannot afford to waste my time sitting through a presentation on things I already know. When the next seminar rolls around, I plan to be more discriminating in my decision on whether to attend. One size cannot fit all.
Learning the Culture
Over the years I have spent a great deal of time digging into my roots in what my family referred to as the "old country"—Finland and Norway. As I researched the lives of these ancestors, I became curious about how they lived and what they did for entertainment. Maybe they engaged in artistic pursuits. My curiosity led me to learn a little about Finnish and Norwegian folk art forms.
Eventually I felt the urge to try these art forms myself. At some point I acquired a Finnish kantele, a plucked string instrument that resembles a zither. I still have not found the time to learn to play it.
I had more success when I discovered Norwegian Hardanger embroidery, a counted and drawn type of whitework worked on even weave fabric. I already had learned some basic embroidery skills from my mother, and I found it enjoyable.
As an adult, I took a class on Hardanger embroidery, and I finished my first piece. Then I did another one, and yet another until I found myself stitching an entire window valance. It took me two years to complete, and it hangs in my office today.
When my husband/tech advisor and I joined our local Sons of Norway lodge (http://www.fjelldalen.com/) earlier this year, we learned that they place a great emphasis on learning Norwegian cultural skills. One is genealogy and another is Hardanger embroidery. Right up my alley!
A new friend of mine in the Lodge has created many beautiful Hardanger pieces. She wins first or second place every time she enters her stitchery in a Sons of Norway (http://www.sofn.com/home/index.jsp) competition. I am thrilled she has offered to coach me in earning my Hardanger profiency pins from the organization. As I work through the skills hierarchy, perhaps I too can create something good enough to enter in competition.
I hope I am continuing a family tradition. My Norwegian great-grandmother Sofie Bentsen purportedly was adept at Hardanger. Although I never met her, I can picture her now as she stitched away in a little fishing village on a Norwegian fjord. I hope she is proud that I am trying to preserve this beautiful art form.
This month I am in the final push to complete the Finnish research I need to do on my great-great grandparents. I plan to write about them next month and then present my findings to my extended family as Christmas gifts.
How do I find information on these people who lived in faraway Finland in the 19th century? I use the online Church of Finland parish records found at the Genealogical Society of Finland (http://hiski.genealogia.fi/historia/indexe.htm) or at Finland's Family History Association (http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/index_eng.htm).
I have spent the year looking at records from two regions: Juuka parish in Kuopio for Matti Lampinen and Anna Miettinen, and Viipuri parish for Antti Mattila and Liisa Myllynen. When I first started Finnish research, I discovered a new and exciting record called the Rippikirja or Communion Book.
These records began in the 1600's and provide the backbone for research in Finland. They provide more personal information on an ancestor than you can find anywhere else in the world.
The Communion Books originated when the Bishop implemented his goal of a literate populace who could read the Word of God and who took Holy Communion regularly. He required every parish pastor to keep track in ten-year increments of when Finns took communion and whether they could read and write. They kept these records by household group and included birthdates, so they serve well as a census substitute.
This week I looked at Anna Miettinen's Rippikirja record for Juuka parish in the 1850's. She lived on Halivaara farm no. 2. The record tells me she was born in 1832 although it does not give the exact date. She came to Halivaara from Kaava. She had received a smallpox vaccination at some point. She had also received instruction and demonstrated understanding of the ABC book, the Bible, Luther's Catechism, and David's Psalms. She could explain how people of different ranks should behave toward one another. She regularly took Holy Communion during her time at Halivaara.
Anna Miettinen lived at Halivaara with her mother Anna Toivain and several other Miettinens. The final entry for her in this Communion Book says she left this farm in 1856. She married Matti Lampinen that year and moved on to the Kuhnusta farm.
I know so much now about her life from just this one record. Where else can you find such detailed information about every person in a nation? The Finns have a fabulous resource in the Rippikirja.
Lives Cut Short
This week I found another one, another husband and father who died too soon.
My family tree seems sprinkled with men who died in their prime, leaving behind wives and children. Imagine the struggle these survivors faced without their breadwinners.
I have found these sad records wherever I have done research, from America to Norway and Finland. These stories will tug at your heart:
- Henric Miettin (abt. 1804-1836). He lived in Halivaara, Kuopio, Finland and passed away at age 32 due to a fever. His widow Anna Toivain, left with at least four children who were not yet teenagers, soon remarried.
- Anders Bentsen (1823-1857). Anders died at age 33 in Bø, Nordland, Norway, also from a fever. His wife, Anne Larsdatter, seemed unable to raise their two small children because both lived with other families after their father's death. Anne eventually remarried.
- Antti Abelson Mattila (1826-1882). Although perhaps not-so-young at 55 when he died in Viipuri, Finland from tuberculosis, Antti still had six children under 18 at the time. At least one daughter already suffered from tuberculosis, too, and the youngest child was just four years old. Antti's widow Elisabeth Myllynen made her living by laying out the dead, taking her young son along with her on these jobs.
- Owen Herbert Reed (1896-1935). At age 38, Herb died during the Depression in a vehicle accident near Brighton, Colorado. His 18-year-old daughter promptly left home to get married. His widow Grace and their five sons were forced to leave their family home in Wyoming and relocate to Colorado where a brother-in-law set them up in a house. All the boys immediately had to go to work, including my then-8-year-old father who helped deliver milk.
Since I descend from all these unfortunate men, I also descend from the widows facing the need to make a living, and from children who grew up without a parent. How did they ever keep going despite broken homes and hard times? It makes me sad every time I read of another ancestral family enduring this fate.
I feel so fortunate that it did not happen to me. I am able to visit my 87-year-old father regularly; I live happily with my husband; my children are grown. Life turned out better for me than it did for some of my ancestors.
A Story Without an End
Every year for Christmas I write a bit about some ancestor I have studied over the year. Of course this year I will choose Finns because I have worked on that line this year, even traveling to Finland.
I have in mind to write biographical sketches of my four Finnish great-great grandparents, but I am facing a problem with this. I cannot complete their stories.
As far as l know, these people, Antti Mattila, Elisabeth Myllynen, Matti Lampinen, and Anna Miettinen, remained in Finland throughout their lives. I must use the Finnish records to do the research on them.
For reasons unknown to me, the available online records end with the 1880's. Only Anders Mattila had died by then, in 1882. The others passed away after that, but those records remain closed to me. I hate this loose end, but what can I do?
No family records kept this information, and no one else's online family tree provides a clue.
I do have one other less-than-ideal option. The LDS library does have rarely-used microfiche copies of the Finnish Communion books. These books listed Finnish families and tracked which confirmed Lutherans took communion over the course of several years. A death during the time period was so noted. I could look there.
The LDS digitization project has not gone this far, so I must look at the actual microfiche to see if I can find the information I need. To do this, I could either rent the fiche for viewing at my local Family History Library or travel to Salt Lake to view them there.
I cannot take a trip to Salt Lake this fall. For now, I will add this source to my white board list of records to search. I will have to do some additional research before I can identify just which parish microfiche to order.
Christmas is coming, and I would like to finish my stories.
Genealogy Fellowship
Genealogy can be a solitary pursuit. Yet as social beings, we all need to find other genealogists for mentorships, collaborations, and the exchange of ideas. Today's social networking sites offer some opportunity for this interaction with other genealogists, but I find that nothing beats real face time.
Fortunately for me, I live on the Front Range in Colorado where several good genealogical societies thrive. I have belonged to the Colorado Genealogical Society in Denver for many years. Our club has regular meetings, sponsors good seminars, and organizes genealogical activities. All these events provide opportunities for me to meet like-minded people, but I particularly enjoy the monthly Lunch Bunch.
This group meets at various restaurants in the Denver Metro area for good food and conversation. We try to find places that have historical interest or where the menu resonates with a holiday.
Yesterday we gathered in a building that was originally a Carnegie Library. Over pots of fondue (re-living the 60's!) we talked about our genealogy. Some of the topics:
- A first-hand account of the most recent NGS Conference in the States.
- The story of a family's immigration from Barbados to New York City in the early 20th century.
- Sharing Virginia research experiences as we anticipate the visit of Barbara Vines Little, a noted authority on Virginia research, to the Denver Public Library at the end of the month.
I must admit that I enjoyed the opportunity at lunch to describe my recent trip to Finland and Russia. These folks understand exactly why I wanted to take this trip because they want to take similar ones to their own countries of origin. They listened with genuine interest, just as I do when they describe their genealogical work or travels.
These genealogy events provide a welcome diversion from hours of working on my own. I already look forward to next month's Lunch Bunch.
Lulu and Bubber
My mom grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota where her Finnish Mattila family surrounded her with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She moved away from there when she grew up, but over the years she and my grandmother talked about these relatives a lot. Consequently their names became familiar to me although I never met most of them.
The other day I came across an undated photograph of a family gathering in Hibbing, probably from the 1940's. I recognized a few of the people but could not identify all of them. Luckily, someone had thought to write names on the back of the picture. They included two children named Lulu and Bubber. Odd names that must have been nicknames. Who were they?
I vaguely recalled hearing these names before, but I could not remember these kids' real names or how they were related to me. This week I figured it out.
When I visited the Minnesota Historical Society last month, I gathered several death certificates for my Finnish family. One of them was for my great-great aunt, Anna Mattila Anderson (abt. 1866-1947). As I pieced together her life, I looked at her household on the 1940 U.S. census.
This evidence solved my mystery. The record listed two grandchildren for Anna, Louise and Charles. Lulu and Bubber, my mom's second cousins!
A Genealogy Summer
We filled our summer this year with several trips, and on each one we collected genealogical information. Now we must sort and analyze all of it. We keep copies of the documents and photos–paper for me and digital ones for my husband/tech advisor. We will put the data into our genealogical software, The Master Genealogist, over this month. Then we will upload the new information into the family trees on our website.
Here is where we went and what we brought home:
- Virginia. This was a sad trip for my 25-year-old nephew Tyler William Reed's funeral. We brought home documentation of his death.
- Finland and Russia. The church records for my Finnish family are available online, so we did not visit any repositories to collect documents in country. Instead, we picked up Finnish history information at the National Museum (http://www.nba.fi/en/nationalmuseum), and we took photos of all the places in Finland and Russia where we knew my family lived. We did not visit cemeteries because graves in Finland are reused after a generation. There are none for my family members, most of whom immigrated around 1905.
- Minnesota. We tracked my husband/tech advisor's family across the state, taking photos at many cemeteries. In addition to putting this information on our website, we will create memorials on Find A Grave (http://www.findagrave.com/). In Minnesota we also visited the Great River Regional Library in St. Cloud (http://www.griver.org/) and the state's Historical Society Library in St. Paul (http://sites.mnhs.org/library/). There we snagged death certificates and obituaries for both our families. Our big find, though, was the name of our Walz ancestors' village in Bavaria (Ratzstadt, Underfranken). The information turned up in a Stearns County history, in a biographical sketch for a collateral relative.
- Wisconsin. This was another family occasion, and we returned with information on my niece's marriage.
We had a productive summer of research. Processing and following up on all the information we gathered should keep us busy until our next trip—to Virginia again next summer for a wedding.

"My favorite valentine's memory is with my current girlfriend. As I entered the airport to catch my flight to Atlanta, where she lived, I tucked in all of her gifts and surprises in my carry on. I stayed in the city for about four days and each morning she woke up, I surprised her with a gift and an accompanying poem. I had perfume, lingerie, a watch and other gifts.

Let's work together!
