Veterans Cash Info
Click Here
AUSTIN, Texas -- A $2 scratch-off game in Texas created to help fill funding shortfalls for veterans services is plummeting in popularity, even as the state lottery posts record sales overall.
The San Antonio Express-News reported Monday that since Veterans Cash launched in 2009, nearly $20.8 million in ticket sales has helped veterans with everything from housing to counseling.
But the newspaper reports revenue from Veterans Cash sales in fiscal year 2012 was $4.7 million, down nearly 42 percent from the year before. Officials call the drop typical for new games, and the Lottery Commission projects sales will remain at a lower level.
Veterans Cash is the state lottery's only ticket with proceeds going to something other than education. Revenues from the game go to a fund overseen by the Texas Veterans Commission, which is likely to turn down more applications for funding because of less money available.
Last year, the commission had 190 applications and funded 37.
"People are patriotic. We need to make sure they know about this ticket," said state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, who heads the Senate Veterans Affairs and Military Installations Committee. "Maybe we do a little more advertising."
Texas isn't the only state that has faced falling revenues for some specialty-game tickets. In Illinois, lottery officials are re-tooling the approach to games, including one for veterans that has seen declining revenues over the years.
Michael Jones, Illinois' lottery superintendent, said the state changed advertising agencies and is brainstorming ideas such as offering something other than money as prizes for the veterans' game. One included giving winners a chance to pull the lanyard on a howitzer, a short cannon.
"There's a lot you can do with these special-interest games if you think about them differently," Jones said.
The lottery provides nine out of every 10 dollars for the state Fund for Veterans' Assistance. The fund also gets money from an optional contribution tied to motor vehicle registrations.

Your Workout Motivation—Found!
Your Workout Motivation—Found!
Readers share their (highly borrowable) fail-proof fuel that gets them moving.SEE MORE
I push myself harder because I know I'll thank myself in the end."Whenever I feel unmotivated before a run, I think back to the swim practices I did when I was younger; by the end, I had to practically be pulled out of the pool because I was so exhausted. I know how much my body is capable of—and there is nothing better than that feeling of accomplishment you have when you finish a hard-core workout." —Tiffany, 26, Louisville, Ky.
I remind myself that working out is for me, not anyone else."Breaking up with a boy is the best motivation I have ever had for working out. The only person worth impressing is yourself, and it always forces me to remember that I'm taking care of my body for me." —Beth, 26, Lexington, Ky.
I work out to improve all areas of my life."Even if my physical appearance doesn't dramatically change from working out on a regular basis, I know I am constantly benefiting at work and in my personal life with the increased energy levels. And it keeps me out of the 'depression' zone. When I'm exercising and feeling good about myself, I have a more positive attitude at work and at home. I have an easier time processing the daily stress in my life and regrouping for the next day." —Andi, 26, Charlotte, N.C.
I kick it into gear when I'm going to see an ex."[I work even harder just] knowing that I'm going to see an ex. Even if I broke it off, I still want to make his mouth water, just a little. I know it's childish, but hey, if it gets me to the gym, who cares?" —Ophira, 36, New York City
I signed up for a marathon."As a child growing up, I was always motivated to work out because I was on sports teams with daily practices. After college, I no longer had that structured exercise built into my life, so I found myself slacking. Knowing I needed a routine I'd have to commit to, I decided to sign up for a marathon—and since then, a half-Ironman—so I have a goal I'm working toward." —Laura, 28, Winston-Salem, N.C.
I plan my workouts around TV shows that get me pumped."I feel motivated whenever I watch Dancing With the Stars—I schedule my elliptical and treadmill time when it's on. Watching those women move like that makes me want to dance my butt off—whether it's a night out on the town or a fun dance class. There are so many to choose from these days: Zumba, hip-hop, step, physique 57 and belly dance! For me, working out should never be something I dread—it should be fun!" —Eve, 27, New York City
I make working out my stress-buster."My motivation is s-t-r-e-s-s! If I don't break a sweat at least four times a week, I am not a nice, patient person and I even annoy myself. The best stress-buster for me is a good long run through the park with my iPod. After the first mile, I'm no longer thinking about work, my growing to-do list, etc. Little do my coworkers know my 'private' appointment after 6 P.M. is a jog in the park—but taking care of myself really helps me be a better coworker to them the next day." —Alison, 28, Atlanta
I set short-term goals."The only way for me to actually stick to a regular routine is if I set short-term goals for myself. So I try to come up with specific things to work toward: training for a race in the fall, getting in shape for a Caribbean vacation in the winter, fitting into a dress for a wedding in the spring, etc. Then when that little voice in my head tries to talk me out of going to the gym, I don't cave in as easily." —Ajla, 28, Washington, D.C.
I appreciate what my body can do."What motivates me to work out is that…I can! When I had a knee injury and couldn't run for a few months, I learned to appreciate my body for all the things it can do. Working out is like giving a gift to my body—it improves my health, makes my skin glow, pumps up my feel-good endorphins. I try to think of working out as a blessing, not a chore." —Caitlin, 25, Orlando, Fla.
I look to my family for motivation."Everyone in my family inspires me. For one, my dad is 65 years old and is currently training to run his first marathon. My mom is a motivator too, constantly reminding me that I'm preparing myself for my 40s. And last but not least, my brother: Every time I think, I can't do that, I think of my brother, who has the best attitude about everything even though a car accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. His can-do attitude pushes me to finish races strong, hold the downward dog longer and strive to achieve goals that seem unattainable." —Blair, 25, New York City
I log my workouts."I keep an online running log, and seeing my miles add up is a great motivator!" —Megan, 24, New York City
I watch The Biggest Loser."Seeing the The Biggest Loser contestants' progress is amazing. When Jillian says, 'C'mon, you can do anything for 20 minutes!' I think, She's right—20 minutes isn't going to kill me. It makes me keep going right when I feel like I just can't do another sit-up!" —Becca, 28, Washington, D.C.

Chattanooga Mocs Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga vs. The Citadel
The McKenzie Arena - Chattanooga, Tenn.
Thursday - Feb. 7, 2013
Chattanooga Head Coach John Shulman
Thoughts on game
"These guys have been through a lot. Last time we were in here we played Western Carolina and Dontay had a broken hand. It seems like one thing after another. The goal was to come out and pretend that we were down 10 the whole game. Drazen did a great job getting us off to a start to setup our defense, and you got to score to setup your defense. I'm proud of our kids. We've been through a lot now. We played two home games in January. That's not fair to ask a team to do that, especially a bunch of young guys. But we hung in there, and hopefully we can take advantage of it now."
Thoughts on effectiveness of 1-2-2 early on
"It was really effective. It got us going. That was the first time we've led in a game in probably the month of January. So it got us going. We talked about that's what we were going to do. It's not as effective when Rico is at the top, at the three. It's more effective when you got a Lance Stokes up there, Marty's up there. Casey Jones was up there early in the season, and that's when it's pretty effective. Lance got pretty comfortable in there, and I thought it got us off to a good start."
Thoughts on five guys in double figures
"Well, it's a big deal that we were able to score it easier tonight than having a manufactured basket after basket after basket. We had 44 points at half. We scored 57 the other night at Georgia Southern. And Citadel beat Georgia Southern by 15 at Georgia Southern. So go figure. That's why you just got to show up every single night and play. Our kids went out to play the game with the right mentality, and we're going to keep that mentality until they make us pack our uniforms up. Our kids were in a good frame of mind, and they're going to continue to be in a good frame of mind. We're going to care for them. We're going to love them. We're going to coach them, but we're going to love them. They've been through a lot."
Thoughts on Z. Mason only playing two minutes in a 44 point half
"It's crazy, but we got some easy baskets off our pressure and off our press. We were able to score in transition. I was worried about it, but then Drazen did a fantastic job early. Drazen did a great job scoring the ball. Gee did a good job scoring the ball. I was hoping they couldn't guard us in man. Then they went to the zone, and we did a good enough job. We were 4-for-7 from the three-point line in the first half. That makes things a little easier. Go 1-for-13 and see how easy it is to win a game. That's what we've been doing, and coming close. I told them the other day that we were about five plays away from being 6-3 in the league. I still keep the dream alive. I still do, but that's who I am. Maybe I'm crazy."
Thoughts on handling the end of the game situation
"We did okay. I would say from the 4:10 mark down we were pretty good handling the situation. We were pretty good. Z. gave up an offensive rebound, and I wasn't greatly pleased with that. You're going to have that situation, but we did a good job making free throws and handling the pressure."
Thoughts on Drazen's play against The Citadel
"Maybe they don't dig a lot, and they don't double a whole lot. So he's free to go play. I told him with the moves you made tonight, you can do that against everybody. He went out there in a good frame of mind. He's got a lot of confidence now. He feels good about himself now. When you feel good about yourself, I guess you can play the game easier, freer. We haven't been real free playing a game."
Z. Mason, junior, forward
Thoughts on his early foul trouble
"It was awful. I just wanted to play so bad. I had to sit there basically the whole first half and watch. It was no fun. It was definitely a learning tool."
Thoughts on running the 1-2-2 defense
"I felt like we disturbed them a lot. That was what Coach Shulman wanted our identity to be from the get-go. He wanted us to press them and slow them down. It helped slow the game down for us and speed it up for them. It helped us out on defense tonight."
On playing looser than normal
"Yes, you could definitely tell that the guys were playing a lot more free and loose. We tried to just focus in on just having fun and just executing on both offense and defense. We wanted to stay focused on working on what we practiced all week."
Ronrico White, guard, sophomore
On handling The Citadel cutting the lead in the first half
"It's all about being persistent. We knew going into the game that no matter what the score was that they were going to fight back. I just wanted to make a play for my team and for us to be victorious tonight."
Thoughts on not playing from behind this game\
"It felt really good. We just stayed aggressive the whole game. We really had it in our minds that we were down 10 from the beginning of the game and it really showed tonight."
Thoughts on Z. Mason being in foul trouble
"We can't worry about Z being in foul trouble. I mean, yes, we need Z because he is a very good player. We just have to keep playing and increase the lead even when he isn't out there."
Thoughts on game
"Defense wins on the road. We didn't play it tonight. We weren't very good at it. We played it, but we weren't very good at it. I'm disappointed."
Thoughts on Chattanooga's 1-2-2 early on
"It bothered us. It wasn't like we knew they weren't going to do it. They've played it in games before. We worked on it for three days but didn't handle it the way we needed to. I don't think that really cost us the game, although it was a factor. Sixteen turnovers and 22 points off of turnovers. It's just way too many. You're going to have to play great half-court defense in order to overcome something like that. So the combination of the two, we just never had a chance. Ten points isn't a big deficit, but we can never get under it because we get stopped and keep turning the ball over. Our guys shot the ball well. We shot 53%, scored 76 points, but you don't win on the road with offense. You win with defense. Our guys did not play the way they are capable of playing defensively tonight. That's something we're going to have to get ready for."
Thoughts on defense being a mentality
"Yes, certainly it is. It's how you show up to the gym and how you approach each game. Certainly other teams have a factor on it, and I'll give Chattanooga some credit tonight. I mean, they played well. They made shots. We went to our 2-3 zone. Z. Mason made shots at the elbow. Those are tough shots. Those aren't easy shots. I know he made them look easy, but those are tough shots. He made those and that hurt us. Their post, Drazen, got low post touches, and got some tough shots over the top of our defenders. I give them credit, but I still think we could have done a better job."

By Tom Smith
Many of us are enjoying the cooler weather after last summer's blazing heat, thinking of the holidays, hunting, almost anything but yard work. But there may be some lingering effects of the extended drought we have experienced. Bare spots may now show where lush grass once grew. These bare places offer an opening for weeds to enter, stealing nutrients from the grass and possibly causing other problems. And now is the best time to treat many cool-season weeds.
One such invader has been the source of several questions and phone calls every spring, but by then it is too late to stop it. A tiny plant with leaves similar to parsley has infiltrated many lawns and pastures, with little notice. With little notice, that is, until this weed, known as spurweed, carpet burweed, or lawn burweed, begins to mature in the spring and develops seed pods that have sharp, spiny stickers. These burrs make walking barefoot across the lawn painful, and also imbed themselves in the feet and hair of pets, which can then bring them indoors and transfer them into the carpet for their owners find with their own bare feet.
Despite its size, this tiny weed is difficult to control. The most common herbicide ingredient, 2,4-D, is not effective against this pest. Products containing simazine can be used in warm-season grasses as a pre-emergent herbicide if applied after October 1, but should not be applied to cool-season grasses.
Herbicides containing glyphosate, such as Roundup or Glyphos, can be used in winter-dormant bermudagrass, but will injure or kill plants that have begun to green up. Products containing a mixture of 2,4-D, MCPP and Dicamba, such as Trimec or Weed-B-Gone, have also proven effective, and can be used this time of year. For pastures, herbicides containing Dicamba such as Weedmaster, Cambamaster or Rangestar provide good results. Many herbicides will kill or damage St. Augustine and some other grasses, so read the label carefully for species of grass and target weeds. Speedzone herbicide is labeled for spurweed control in St. Augustine. For use in either lawns or pastures, care should be taken to avoid application where the herbicides can be absorbed by roots of desirable shrubs or trees.
As with all pesticides, read the label carefully for information on precautions, protective equipment, target sites, mixing directions, application rate, susceptible plants, directions for use and other information. Remember that the label is regarded as Federal Law, and problems arising from violations may be treated accordingly.
Finally, remember that the best thing you can do for your lawn or pasture is to provide the correct nutrition so it can remain healthy enough to prevent weeds from encroaching on its territory.

- Household Finance (1) (remove)
- Essays on investor behavior in mutual fund investments (2011)
- In total, this dissertation comprises three research papers. Objective of all of these papers are to detect mistakes of private investors when conducting mutual funds investments and to analyze the implications. Moreover, the question is addressed whether financial advisors help private investors to avoid these investment mistakes. All three research papers use the same data base which has been provided by a German online brokerage house. The detailed data set allows contributing to existing literature on mutual fund investments, smart decision making, household finance as well as financial advice on an investor- and transaction-specific level. The first paper addresses the question which particular decision criteria private investors use when purchasing mutual funds. It can be shown that funds volume is the dominating decision criterion, whereas historical performance is only of minor importance. As performance persistence exists in the underlying data set, it can be concluded that the majority of investors make investment mistakes. In the second paper it is shown that smart investors, i.e. investors who purchase mutual funds by chasing historical performance, are older, wealthier, more experienced and less likely to be overconfident. In addition, it can be verified that there exists a positive impact of the ability to select mutual funds by chasing historical performance on the overall investment success. Hence, the quality of mutual fund selection ability is an ex-ante measure for investment success. Finally, the third paper analyzes the influence of financial advice on mutual fund decision making of private investments. Evidence can be provided that financial advisors do not help their customers to purchase mutual funds by chasing historical performance. In fact, advisors recommend high-volume mutual funds from well-known fund families. Apparently, financial advisors are much more salesmen than real advisors. These results hold when controlling for potential endogeneity issues.

We set out on a mission to find the perfect formula container after struggling with the popular, multi-chamber, rotating lid model available at most stores today. The problems we had with that one were the lid falling off, low capacity, and formula residue sticking with the common spout.
And then came the simplistic elegance of the RaZ-Pack! Its versatile design allows you to configure it as a single, or up to three-chamber food container. The sturdy RaZ-Pack grows with your child, making a smooth transition from formula... to solids and snacks like cereal, crackers, and special treats! Even better, an individual spout per section eliminates any worries you may have about unwelcome and unsanitary leftovers. Its rugged construction stands up to the jarring life inside a diaper bag, and let's face it... kids just love saying "RaZ-Pack"!
Inlcudes 3 6-oz. containers with individual lids and spouts. Containers can be used separately or combined together to make one or more multi-chambered containers.
BPA Free

Hand-tufted by master weavers in India out of high-quality wool, this cozy rug uses ages-old pot dyeing techniques to give off the look of a luxuriously lived-in and lived-on antique carpet. Once the dye has been carefully applied to each strand of wool, touches of organic viscose are added for a silken luster.
Shedding is normal and will abate over time with vacuuming. Avoid direct/continuous exposure to sunlight. Use rug protectors under legs of heavy furniture. Clip loose ends with scissors. Remove spills immediately. Blot liquid spills with clean, un-dyed cloth, pressing firmly around spill to absorb as much as possible. Professional rug cleaning recommended for hard-to-remove stains.

Pvt. Ashley Webb, a graduate of Rattan High School, enlisted in the National Guard in May 2011 with East Central University's Gold Program. Upon graduation at ECU, Webb, an automated logistics specialist, will be commissioned to second lieutenant.
Webb says the college benefits are what brought her to the National Guard. "I joined for the money to go to college with the tuition waiver," she says, "and because so many in my family are in the military."
Her father, Staff Sgt. Steven Webb, is a recruiter for the Oklahoma Army National Guard in Durant and says his daughter is a sixth generation Soldier.

The Neighborhood Fishin' program allows for these two bodies of water to be stocked approximately every two weeks with rainbow trout (10-12-inch average size) in the winter (late November to early March) and with channel catfish (12-inch average size) every two weeks in the warmer months (May-July and September-October).
Texas Parks and Wildlife also regularly stocks lakes and ponds located in San Antonio parks as part of their Community Fishing Lakes program. These include Woodlawn Lake Park, 1103 Cincinnati; Brackenridge Park, 3700 N. St. Mary's; Elmendorf Lake Park, 3700 W. Commerce; Wheeler Park, 10239 Ingram Rd. and the Earl Scott Pond located on the Leon Creek Greenway near the Buddy Calk Trailhead, 12160 Babcock Rd.
Woodlawn, Brackenridge and Wheeler Parks and the Earl Scott Pond are stocked approximately once a year with channel catfish that average 9-inches in length. Additionally, Brackenridge is stocked twice each winter with trout that average approximately 8-10 inches.
A valid fishing license with a freshwater stamp endorsement is required to take fish or other aquatic life from the public waters of Texas. Recreational fishing licenses and stamp endorsements can be purchased at local sporting goods stores, gun shops, department stores, discount stores, bait and tackle shops, grocery stores or at the local Texas Parks and Wildlife Office, 858 W. Rhapsody.
For added convenience, recreational licenses may be purchased by phone at 348-7375 or online at www.tpwd.state.texas.us. The cost is $30 annually.

One of the most popular majors at The Citadel has a new leader.
The college has named a new Head of the Department of Political Science, Dr. DuBose Kapeluck. Kapeluck, a scholar, author, researcher and educator, has been a professor at The Citadel since 2002. The department is comprised of 12 full time faculty members as well as the Governor John C. West Chair, Mallory Factor, and The Citadel Fellow, Don Fowler, former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
A Fulbright scholar, a respected author, and popular teacher, DuBose Kapeluck brings a full-range of strengths to the position of Head of the Department of Political Science, said Bo Moore, Dean of Humanities & Sciences. Under his leadership, a strong department promises to become stronger still.
Kapeluck will lead cadets, students and graduate students in the discipline of political science in a quest to develop principled leaders who will be in demand after earning their degrees. More than 500 cadets have graduated with degrees in political science over the last decade.
Our graduates build careers in law and government. Whether they work as a diplomat with the Foreign Service, are recruited to join an intelligence agency or transition as officers into military service, a foundation in the discipline of political science from The Citadel enables them to be critical thinkers who are highly desired as members of government, civic agencies and organizations, Kapeluck said.

No love for the iPhone? Come on Comcast
Comcast launches AnyPlay WiFi Live TV streaming for iPad users
Comcast has announced that it is now rolling outs its AnyPlay service which is a small device that will allow you to watch your home Comcast TV channels on your iPad and other WiFi enabled displays.
With AnyPlay, you can watch the channels that are included in your linear channel subscription through the Xfinity TV app on the iPad, and very soon the Motorola Xoom™ tablet. This means that while someone else watches a program in the living room, for example, you can watch another show on your iPad from the backyard deck, kitchen or other places around the home.
The AnyPlay device works like any other setup box however instead of delivering the available channels via a cable to your TV, it delivers them to your WiFi router which can then distribute the secure video to your iPad. Your iPad has to be connected to your home network to view the stream; no access is available from outside your home. Comcast's existing Xfinity TV app is used to view the Live TV channels.
AnyPlay is available free of charge for Xfinity HD Triple Play customers but only in Denver and Nashville at the moment; Comcast plan to add more markets in the coming months.

Comcast launches AnyPlay WiFi Live TV streaming for iPad users
No, it won't work with AppleTV because you won't be able to load the Xfinity TV app on that device via normal process. So, this streaming is only available through that app and requires a Motorola streaming box with a CableCard in it. (This is the device they left out of the details on this article). Think of it like a SlingBox, but since it's locked down to your Xfinity app and the local WIFI network only (due to place shifting licensing terms that the broadcasters cried about it), all it is is a glorified remote monitor setup if you will. I guess if you value an overpriced solution which lacks place shifting OUTSIDE of your home, you'll like this solution.
I watch all my television channels and recorded anywhere I want on my Android (if you have iPhone or iPad you can as well)easily. I have DISH so I got bought their sling adapter. Now instead of dreaming about leaving the house to watch television I do, with 3G. 4G, or wifi. I am just glad I have sprint because I don't have to worry about overages on data.
This may not be the best place to inquire about this, but I'm searching for a pest management business in the pittsburgh area and have no way to find out who's the most effective. I discovered this company that is truly close to me and wished to see if any one has any evaluations on them. Spectrum Pest Control, 3058 West Liberty Avenue, Dormont, PA 15216 - (412) 446-2802
Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you're working with? I've loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
I have to say that for the last couple of hours i have been hooked by the amazing articles on this blog. Keep up the great work.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Many years ago, a young man graduated university and stepped away from those crazy, wild college days to come face to face with adulthood and his obligations : military service. Either he could sign up to do one year traditional army training here in France or he could leave the country and find a job somewhere out in the wide, wide world where he would then be asked to stay for two years. Now our favorite son being no traditional kind of guy, "adventure" his middle name, he made the choice to head on out. So suitcase packed, off he went to discover Morocco.
Veterinary diploma in hand, he quickly found a job, and a most interesting one it was (and he will absolutely freak out when he discovers that I am telling you all this story, but it is too funny NOT to put it in here…) : he was hired to work for the King's brother at his Ostrich Farm, and was put in charge of the incubators (the nursery, I guess you could call it).
Things went along swimmingly for the first week, 10 days, until that fateful morning when he walked in and found all the eggs cooked! Yes, indeed. Someone (who? Hmmm?) had placed their empty coffee cup on top of the incubator, right on the temperature gauge, pushing the temperature up to "bake"…. Poor little things….
So off he went to look for another job. He ended up teaching Biology at the University of Rabat for two years and enjoyed every minute of his stay, traveling, exploring, discovering. Fascinated by this country and her people, he dove in and became a part of it. He has never been one to stand apart, play the "expat", aloof and clubby with the French community. The chance to live in another country, another culture is truly something to be grabbed and hugged close to your heart, learning the language, the customs, hanging out with the neighbors and getting to know how life works. And he was fascinated, fascinated by the openness and friendliness of the people, enamored by this family-oriented culture.
Camera in hand, he crossed the desert, strolled the markets, hung out in cafés and visited workshops. He watched the children play in the street, the workers on their donkeys, the ritual slaughtering of animals; wherever he could insinuate himself he was sure to go.
And in between, he learned to cook. He loved to hang out in the kitchens wherever he happened to be rooming, and watch the women cook. He loved the food, the tagines and the couscous, the Pastilla, the gazelle's horns and the loukoum. He loved to cook and learned while in his mother's kitchen, and here was a whole new world opening up in front of him.
And master this wonderful, exotic, spice-filled cuisine he did. He has been passing on his knowledge to me slowly but surely over the past 20 years, yet he is the better cook of us two. We are lucky enough to live in a country with a large North African community, which means that the spices, the preserved lemons, the choice of olives and other ingredients are only a step away. He takes the basic recipes and improvises, from lamb to chicken to fish, from olives to lemon to prunes and dates. And I am never far behind, eating it all with pleasure.
Several years ago, he took Clem on a 2-week trekking holiday across the Sahara, starting and ending the trip in Casablanca. During the trip, the cooking equipment was transported on the backs of donkeys and set up before each meal in a tent, where the Moroccan men would cook and everyone would sit in a circle on carpets and eat. Clem fell in love with this wonderful cuisine as well at the tender age of 10.
Harira is a thick, fragrant, spicy soup of chickpeas, tomato and lamb, spiced up and then flavored with lemon and fresh coriander, traditionally eaten during the month of Ramadan each night to break the day's fast. JP explained that vendors ladle out bowls of this soup from huge vats in the marketplaces around the city. It is a rather easy soup to put together, then simply simmered, lemon and coriander added just before serving. JP tasted mine and raved that it was exactly like the soup he ate in Morocco. A compliment indeed!
Moufleta is a kind of crêpe or blini from the Jewish communities of North Africa, often eaten either to end the Yom Kippour fast or at Hanukkah when we traditionally eat fried foods. I found this recipe in the book I just received from Ruth and Guy, La Cuisine de la Diaspora by Deborah Haccoun & Antoine Schneck-Rosenfeld. These are simple, plain breads, almost like Indian Naan often eaten with butter and honey (which I found delicious when I tried it!) or as we did here, dipped in a spicy Harira.
And I am sending this recipe for Moufleta off to this week's Yeastspotting (the event of all things yeast), created and hosted by my friend Susan of Wild Yeast.
Vegetable oil
13 oz (400 g) lean lamb, shoulder or leg
1 onion, cut in half or quarters and thinly sliced
2 tsps ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp cayenne
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cumin
8 oz (250 g) ripe tomatoes (about 3), peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 – 14 oz (440 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful chopped fresh coriander
Cut the lamb into bite-sized cubes, removing and discarding all excess fat and all the yucky stuff.
To peel tomatoes, make a cross in the bottom of each with a sharp knife, dunk for just one minute or so in simmering water, scoop out and peel.
Measure out the spices, slice the onion, crush the garlic, drain, rinse and mash the chickpeas. Set aside.
Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot and add the cubed lamb. Fry very quickly over high heat until evenly browned all over. Add the sliced onions, lower the heat and continue cooking, stirring continuously, for 5 minutes until the onions are soft.
Stir in all the spices, making sure that the lamb cubes are all coated and the spices are blended in well, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes, the crushed garlic and the mashed chickpeas (as you will notice in the photo, I added the water before the chickpeas which makes it harder to blend in the chickpea mash. Stir everything together well before adding the water – which is what I normally do.) Add 2 ½ cups (625 ml) water. Bring to the boil, cover, lower heat and allow to simmer for 40 minutes. If you would like to thicken the soup up a bit, push back the lid of the pot and inch or two for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Chop the fresh coriander and squeeze the lemon. Add the coriander and the juice to the Harira, stir, and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
Serve hot.
8 cups / 35 oz (1 kg) flour
1 tsp salt
2 cups (500 ml) warm water (up to ½ cup more, as needed)
0.63 oz (18 g) dry active yeast or 1 ½ oz (42 g) fresh yeast
2 Tbs (30 g) sugar
Vegetable oil
Sift or stir the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
Put the sugar and the yeast in a small bowl and add a small amount of warm water, maybe 1/4 cup. Leave for 10 minutes until frothy.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture and then the rest of the warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon until all the flour is moistened and starts to stick together and form a dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 6 – 8 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
Divide the dough into about 20 pieces (here again, I followed the recipe and divided it into 40 pieces, but I found them to be much too small).
Oil either your marble worktop or a large baking or oven sheet. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the oiled surface. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours is fine).
Have a large skillet or frying pan, preferably non-stick, ready. Using a paper towel, lightly oil the pan. Heat when ready to start.
Oil your hands.
Press one ball of dough between your palms and press and squish, rubbing your hands around in circular motions until you have flattened your dough. I made the first ones very very thin and the next a bit thicker, and I liked them both. Depends on what you want.
Fry on one side until golden brown (where the moufleta touch the pan), then turn and cook on the other side until golden brown as well.
Serve immediately, best eaten warm.
As you can see by the small amount of salt and sugar in these little breads/crêpes, they are rather bland. They are great for dipping into soups and sauces, especially spicy, flavorful North African dishes. Or serve them for breakfast or snack smeared with butter and drizzled with honey. Yummy!
(and I made plain dinner rolls, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, with the leftover dough. They came out light and fluffy).

How lovely! I really want to go to Morocco one day and eat all their delicious foods and go to the markets. Personally I love Moroccan food, especially the sweets. I hear that in France there is great interest in Moroccan and Arab cultures. I remember a long time ago when Hubby and I went to Printemps, in Paris they had huge Arab displays all over the store. It was some kind of theme they were doing. Love the story about the ostrich eggs lol.
p.s. u know whats cool? I love seeing your French groceries :D

Jamie, that's a wonderful story. You have such an evocative narrative voice. I thoroughly enjoy reading the background to the recipes. Tell JP not to be mortified--it's a great story.

Jason shoots Devlin before he can spill the beans on Claudia, Carly tells Jax and Sonny to go to hell and it's date night at the Metro Court.
At the rural bus stop, Devin flashes a scalpel in front of Maxie's face and she tries to play the "dumb blonde" card, but he's not buying it. He taunts her friends to come out of the bushes and Maxie looks worried because she's alone out there. Before long, however, Spinelli appears from nowhere begging him not to hurt her. Devlin isn't happy just yet, he wants to see Jason. So, Jason obliges by firing his gun and stepping out from the bushes. Ian says that he's not bluffing, he will slit Maxie's throat. After all, he shot a child, he says. Jason calmly says that all he has to do is tell him who hired him to do it. Devlin says that Jason is the person who failed to protect Michael so what good will a name do? Jason shoots him and Maxie rushes into Spinelli's arms. Devlin dies before Jason can get a name out of him. Maxie is clearly shaken and yells at Jason for not shooting sooner. She says that all she could think of was that her dad couldn't bear to lose her so soon after Georgie. She looks for her phone and insists that she is calling 911!
Claudia saunters up to Luke's bar but receives a cold shoulder from Sonny and Luke. She tells them that they have one thing in common, their hatred for her father. "Who wants to step up and kill him?" she asks. She explains that Anthony is a free man now and needs to be stopped and then weaves a tale about the possibility that Anthony hired the shooter who hurt Michael. Sonny jumps to his feet and suggests that maybe she did it! Claudia does a pretty good job of reminding him of all the people who might like to see him out of their way, including Trevor and Ric.
Carly is stubbornly arranging medical supplies in Michael's room at home when Jax finds her there. He's angry with her for keeping the remake of the room a secret from him and reminds her that he is still her husband. She breaks down and owns up to the worst decision she ever made - bringing her children into their father's dangerous life. No matter what Jax says to her, Carly insists that she won't turn against her son.
Patrick has just stepped inside Robin's door with takeout food and Anna pounces on him asking when he's going to marry her daughter. Robin tries to protest, but Anna says that they are clearly in love and have many more opportunities than she and Robin's dad did years ago when Robin was in the oven. Patrick agrees that maybe he should go, and slips out. Robin turns to her mother and explains that Patrick is the ultimate bachelor and wants no part of marriage. She admits that if she looks into the future, a marriage with Patrick would be disastrous for her, too, since he'll invariably revert to his old ways. She says that she looks forward to a peaceful existence with her baby and a nanny. Anna asks her to be honest about her feelings and consider just how much she loves Patrick. Robin says that she respects Patrick's decision and that marrying him isn't her "be all, end all." She asks Anna to go find him and undo the damage she just caused. Anna begrudgingly respects Robin's wishes and gets up to go, but she gets paged to go back to the jungle for work. She promises to come back soon and help Robin paint the closet. As she rushes out the door, Robin corrects her and says, "…paint the nursery."
Alexis is at the Metro Court bar acting as if she's not waiting for Jerry. He arrives right on time, plucks her blackberry from her hands and then kisses her. "Pot Meet Kettle!" Diane jumps up from behind the bar and asks who has the weakness for a bad boy now? She storms off jubilant over her bust and Alexis tries to explain to Jerry how strange her friend is. Jerry points out that her friend is sleeping with Sonny's body guard and Alexis is stunned that he knows that. He simply points to the other side of the dining room and reveals Diane and Max making out. Alexis makes her way over and tells Diane she's making a fool of herself. Diane claims that she and Max were simply talking about the Dodgers and points out that Alexis is canoodling with the Metro Court hostage taker. Alexis abruptly returns to her table with Jerry, and Diane and Max quickly leave to go take a room upstairs. Her phone rings, but she decides to let it ring. Alexis, however, answers hers and finds out that Jason killed Ian Devlin.
Patrick shows up on The Haunted Star in hopes of buying a drink. Luke is happy to oblige and Patrick proceeds to dump his problems. He says that everyone wants him to move to the 'burbs now and Luke jumps at the chance to try to sell Laura's house to him. (He says that he'll kick Lucky out!) Patrick chuckles and asks Luke if he liked settling down and raising his kids. Luke sadly says that if two people have fundamental differences, no amount of love will keep them together.
Carly returns to the hospital and finds her mother sitting with Michael. She explains about the fight she had with Jax and Bobbie says that she would've been happy to help Carly set up Michael's room at home. Sonny comes in to say goodnight to his son and takes the opportunity to ask Bobbie her thoughts on where Michael should go. Bobbie wisely stays out of their decision and then leaves them alone. Sonny tells Carly that his vote counts, too, and then makes his case about what's best for Michael. Carly spits that shipping their son away would be good for Sonny because he wouldn't have to see what he's done! Jax appears in the doorway and says that for once Sonny is thinking of someone other than himself.
They step out into the hallway to continue their discussion. Jax asks about Carly's other child, her business and points out that he's not even asking her to consider their marriage. Sonny speaks up to support Jax and she tells him that she and the boys don't need him anymore. Sonny says that he won't let her destroy Morgan and that he'll go to the courts if he has to and let them decide if Jax's facility is better for Michael. Carly says that she will gladly tell the judge about Michael's father who saved his girlfriend instead of his son. Sonny struggles through tears and says that he will not let his guilt keep him from doing right by his boys. "You both can go to Hell because we don't need you!" Carly says to Sonny and Jax and then turns to Michael with talk of going home tomorrow.
Jerry joins Claudia at the Metro Court bar and they talk about the fortunate demise of Dr. Devlin. Claudia says she feels like celebrating, but Jerry tells her to keep a clear head in case Ian gave them up to Jason before he died.
Back at the crime scene, Detective Harper arrests Jason in spite of Spinelli and Maxie's protests. When Mac arrives, Maxie tells him everything, but Mac orders that Jason be taken into custody.
Next on General Hospital:
Alexis asks Jason who Devlin's accomplice is.
Morgan breaks Carly's heart by begging his brother to wake up.
Jerry warns Claudia that it might be time for her to skip town for good.
Claudia finds a male visitor in her bedroom - Jason!

Check out this excerpt:
At least somebody is commenting on what we have been saying for some time now. Check out the full article here. And ladies and gentlemen, this is only the beginning. Slowly but surely others will start to see it. M is dead.
A lot depends on the next M3. While I agree that the M brand has been somewhat diluted, and that the cars are generally "softer", I'm not sure it is a bad thing...yet. I think the next 2-3 years are really going to tell us where BMW will be as a company long term, and how much they will appeal to performance enthusiasts.
The new cars are bigger than their predecessors, which explains the latest weight increases. Having another perspective, going from say previous M6 to new M4 is not much different in internal dimensions, and the new M4 will weigh less than the old M6.
The skidpads and slaloms are enhanced continuously.
Previously the only way to get performance was to compromise the comfort heavily. Luckily it is not like that any more. Comfortable is nice and not a bad thing.
M cars have been street vehicles all the time, so M has always been for Marketing. No change there.
I LOVE this response and I quote
"His response was along the line of 'I don't know, I won't be working here when that happens.'" unquote.
In other I dont care what can happen obviously I'll either be promoted or be gone, WHO CARES!!
The way I see it, we have no one to blame but the dip$#@! posers who buy M cars just so they can cruise around thinking anyone else gives a $#@!. They're the ones who complain when the cars aren't comfortable enough for them to apply hair gel at 100mph and they're the ones who pin the throttle pre apex trying to impress their girl and wrap the car around a tree. One of the most perfect cars I have ever driven is the current generation Cayman S, since most of the posers and trophy wives opt for the Boxster, Porsche is free to design the Cayman S to thrill a true driver. BMW did a similar thing with the Z3 and Z4 M coupes, they were unbelievably fun because no poser would have put up with their hard ride and goofy styling. They pulled off the same trick with the 135i, too. Drive one back to back with a 335i and you won't even think they came from the same company.
As long as there are tons of morons with too much money going to the dealership to buy the most expensive version of the car they want, the M cars will have to be softened and watered down to appeal to them because, unfortunately, they are a bigger market than the actual driving enthusiasts. Perfect example: I was at my BMW dealer a few days ago looking at a CPO M3 coupe they had and some wealthy guy in his 30s or 40s had just bought the very first F13 M6 convertible from them, I tried talking to him but it was painfully obvious after only a few seconds that he had no clue what the hell it was he had just bought. He just thought it looked cooler than the 550i he originally planned to buy.
What makes someone a poser is someone who simply buys a brand because of the name. Not because of its heritage or its fun to drive or its crazy power....its just the next hottest thing to show up with at the Miracle Mile, the Nautical Mile, or just to show off in public.
It applies to Porsche as well. Technically the 911 was supposed to be geared straight towards enthusiasts only, was a true drivers car. They watered it down in the 996 chassis so everyone could buy one. 9 times out of 10, that Carrera you see on the highway is a base model slushbox lease, driven by some white collar idiot who only bought the car because of the Stuttgart badge on the front, to give the impression of wealth and help him get $#@!es.
@Matt Im with you there are MANY people that buy for STATUS QUO issue and dont even have a clue what the car is all about, remember there are many MORONS outhere vice WE the few that know what these cars of our can REALLY do!!!!
I mean, I'm a die-hard enthusiast through and through, but I don't expect everyone to be the same. To some people a car is transportation, to others it is just an accessory. As long as it makes you happy, then you are doing it right IMO.
Man, you are mad at this people. Who cares man...It applies to Porsche as well. Technically the 911 was supposed to be geared straight towards enthusiasts only, was a true drivers car. They watered it down in the 996 chassis so everyone could buy one. 9 times out of 10, that Carrera you see on the highway is a base model slushbox lease, driven by some white collar idiot who only bought the car because of the Stuttgart badge on the front, to give the impression of wealth and help him get $#@!es.
Best selling Porsche at one time - automatic Boxster. : O
Huge revenue source now - Porsche Cayenne. : O
Things change...as long as they still have offerings for people like us, I could care less.
To me a poser is someone who tries to be something they are not. Buying a car for your own reasons, which don't line-up with an enthusiast, is not a poser.
I just have always objected to the notion that there is a "right" way to do car ownership. Life is short, and ultimately these things are just material possessions.
I think disappointment is the right response rather than anger. I mean you are disappointed because you know there could be more to the ownership experience for them.
My point is these people would be happier with the standard cars (usually) if they aren't into the driving experience thing, perfect example: I know a guy who loved the 2005 bodystyle Mercedes CLK so he went in and got the most expensive one...the CLK 55 AMG. After two years of owning it, I asked him how he liked it and he had exactly two complaints: it drank gas and the tires were too expensive (so it was expensive to own) and the ride quality sucks. I told him he would have been way happier in a regular Benz than an AMG so when he sold it he went and looked at a regular 550 and that's what he ended up buying, he absolutely loves the non-AMG.

Barbara C. McGrath, 90, of Fairground Apartments, Moretown, passed away peacefully at the Helen Porter Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Middlebury on Wednesday evening, March 13, 2013. Born in Duxbury on May 19, 1922, she was the daughter of the late Frank J. and Rose L. (Lacillade) McGrath.
Barb attended schools in Duxbury and then went on to support the war effort by working in Rhode Island and Connecticut making parachutes. Returning to Duxbury, she worked for the former Demeritt Co. in Waterbury, manufacturing clothespins and in the cannery, and then moved to Burlington where she was employed in housekeeping at the University of Vermont for several years.
Leaving UVM, Barb worked at One Hour Martinizing Dry Cleaners of Essex before taking a position at Vermont College in Montpelier, working in housekeeping, from which she retired. She has resided in Moretown for the past 26 years.
Among Barb's many gifts was being an accomplished seamstress. Her other interests included crocheting, enjoying flower gardens, doing puzzles and a variety of games as well as cake decorating.
She is loved and missed by her son, Michael J. McGrath, and his wife, Linda, of Moretown; her grandchildren, Lindy Boudreau and her husband, Jon, of Waterbury Center, Lisa Hallstrom and her husband, Louis IV, of Northfield, Travis McGrath and his wife, Nicole, of So. Barre, and Doreen MacKenzie and her fiancé, Brian Chandler, of Stratham, NH; her great-grandchildren, Brittney, Wil, Evan, Pacie, Liam, Cole and Abbi; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Barb was predeceased by a sister, Katherine Sherman, and a brother, Frederick McGrath.
Graveside services will be held later this spring from Holy Cross Cemetery in Duxbury at a date and time to be announced. For those who wish, memorial gifts would be appreciated to the Helen Porter Health Care and Rehabilitation Center Activities Fund, 30 Porter Drive, Middlebury, VT 05753.
