LEWISTOWN - In Highland Park, Jim Morrison holds an old redware jug up to the light. Backlit from a window, the sunlight plays off the jug's surface, shining through where pieces have broken off during the years.
The jug - despite a few holes - is his personal favorite, he said. It's a household item that could date back to the Revolutionary War period. Despite being damaged, it holds a special place in his heart because, as a amateur antique hunter, it's the oldest piece he has found to date.
But Morrison didn't find the jug in an antique shop or gathering dust in an area basement or attic. He literally found the jug underfoot - about 18- to 24-feet underground, to be accurate.

Jim Morrison, of Lewistown, displays some of the items that he found during the years, which include decorative plates, a small bell and clay tobacco pipe ends.
Morrison said he always had an interest in local history. As a youth, he frequently visited dump sites looking for antiques, which can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. About two years ago, Morrison decided to look underground, joining a nationwide group of people who dig into old privies as a hobby.
Together, he and his digging partner, Charles Thompson, have unearthed hundreds of artifacts, ranging from toys to milk bottles, rum flasks and bird feeders - all of them from old privies scattered throughout the Lewistown area.
"That was the dump ... they didn't have local trash pickup," Morrison said. "Anything you didn't want, down the pit."
A national hobby
At first, Kirk Wilson, with the Pennsylvania Museum and Historical Commission, laughed when asked about hobbyist privy diggers. But, after conferring with a staff archeologist, Wilson said the hobby wasn't as uncommon as he initially believed.
"Today there are those who are curious enough to go privy diving," Wilson said. "Especially persons who are bottle collectors or collect old pieces of pottery."
Wilson said in Pennsylvania the hobby is mostly confined to more urban areas, where large communal privies can yield treasures for the persistent digger. Those privies and cisterns were, like those in Lewistown, used as the community dump.
"So that trash you thought you threw away may be dug up in 50 or 60 years," he said with a laugh. "But these (the privies that the hobbyists dig) are obviously ones that were closed up a long time ago."
Unlike other archeological activities in Pennsylvania, there are no rules or regulations surrounding the hobby of privy digging, Wilson said. It's more a matter of trespassing and being a good neighbor.
"All it basically has to do with is the property owner giving their permission," Wilson said.
Morrison said he and Thompson always ask for permission before digging. They also try to return their dig sites to pre-exhumation status or better.
That was the case when the two approached Lewistown Borough regarding the Embassy Fairgrounds off of South Main Street.
The fair grounds
The two knew the site contained old privies.
Maps showed homes at the location until the 1970s, when the homes along Elizabeth Street were destroyed in the flood caused by tropical storm Agnes. Older maps also showed homes at the site, dating back to a time before the borough had trash service - a key indication that the privies may contain items.
Morrison said he and Thompson spent hours researching the site through old maps and articles and were able to identify several possible privy sites.
In a letter to the borough, Morrison stated his intentions and asked for permission to dig.
"I happen to find this 'disappearing street' fascinating," Morrison wrote. "I have spent hours researching the area through old maps and atlases, and have been able to put names and dates to some of the former houses."
Once they received the borough's permission, after several discussions regarding liability and other matters, the two spent several weekends digging at the site, uncovering old privies and other pits.
Although maps may show old outhouse sites, finding them is not always easy.
After they became obsolete, many of the old pits were simple filled in and planted over. If a digger is lucky, a small sinkhole may indicate likely locations. But more often than not, it's painstaking work, involving a "probe" that reveals where a pit might be.
"You have to know how to feel the earth," Morrison said.
What the two men do is take a probe, or a metal rod, and jam it into the earth until they hit loose soil.
Morrison explains, "The ground at a pit location will feel different than that of the regular ground, because it has been disturbed. The probe goes through easier, sometimes striking rocks, bottles and other materials."
It may sound simple and easy, but there is a lot of luck and a "lot of trial and error" involved, Morrison said.
Once the two have located a likely privy site, the digging starts, using hand tools and other non-mechanical means.
At a recent Lewistown Borough Council meeting, Morrison brought several artifacts the two had recovered to share with the council members.
Most of the items they found dated back to the 1890s, not as old as they would have liked but good finds nonetheless, he said.
In their excavations the two found a variety of milk bottles, beer bottles, a few broken crocks and even an old doll's head, minus the hair. Hair, like most other organic products, such as paper and corks, tends to deteriorate quickly in the subterranean environment of the pits.
At its last meeting, the borough waived their claims to the items, and they became a part of Morrison's and Thompson's collections.
For the right reasons
If anyone wants to see some of the items Morrison has found through his digging adventures, they only have to ask.
Morrison's Highland Park home is abound with cases of bottles and other artifacts.
On his porch outside, boxes of whiskey bottles, milk bottles and other antiques sit, awaiting cleaning, researching and for Morrison to find room for them.
Inside, glass display cases hold his more important finds, but they're not necessarily "important" in terms of money or historical significance.
Instead, they're important in that they hold a place in Morrison's heart. Each item contains the start of a story or tale from Morrison regarding the piece, where he found it, notes on the manufacture and historical significance of the item.
Morrison holds up a bottle of "Dr. Woods Hair Restorative" dating from the mid-1800s.
After talking briefly regarding the quality of the manufacture of the bottle, Morrison launches into a short tale of how he found it.
"I specifically remember pulling it out of the ground if you can believe it," he said. Morrison said when he found it, the bottle still had a stopper in it along with "some residual material."
"It was jet black and it stinks," he said with a laugh.
A crock nearby holds bonehandled toothbrushes he has found. Another one holds a collection of marbles.
Morrison said he likes to find uses for the things he finds, as storage and decorations for his house. He also gives some of the items away to friends and family.
"If you're going to dig, do it for the right reasons," he said.
He gets a little worked up talking about the different views among the digging community when it comes to artifact collecting.
"Sadly, a lot of guys who dig don't keep the stuff, because a lot of it is not worth money," he said. "So they throw away much of what they find if it is not a collector's item."
Morrison admits that he does sell some of his finds. He and Thompson take turns claiming items when they're digging, and they sell them to each other if they really want a specific piece. But for the most part, it's all about the thrill of discovery and the chance to look into the history of the Lewistown area.
What it's not about for them is trying to make money, Morrison said.
"That's the wrong reason to do it," he concluded.
Digging into history
So, what can be learned from the bottom of an old privy?
Well, it might be surprising.
In their digs, Morrison and Thompson have found many items, from the common bottles of local milk companies to discoveries of their own.
In his collection, Morrison has a shard of a Bossinger's beer bottle - in itself not exactly unique. But what is interesting is the size of the bottle the piece came from - a quart.
Morrison said at the time of the uncovering of the piece, it was thought the company had only used standard-size beer bottles.
"So that was a new discovery," he said.
Morrison also has collected a large numbers of bottles bearing the marks of local pharmacies, businesses he said he didn't even know existed until he dug them up.
"One of my favorite things to collect are bottles from local Lewistown druggists," he said. "They had their own embossed bottles for advertising."
The bottles lining his shelves bear the names of Joseph McFaddon, from North Main Street; Martin's Pharmacy, in downtown; and, one of his favorite bottles, Charles Ritz, another local druggist who started his pharmacy around 1827.
"That's a great bottle ... it made a 16-foot pit worthwhile," Morrison said.
In his collection, dug from the bottom of old pits, are "a few odd ball things" he and Thompson have found.
A bid feeder, toothbrushes and toys are among things he has collected while digging. For Morrison, the everyday items open a window into a time when life was simpler.
Although, people who lived 100 years ago were not as far removed from ourselves as we may think, Morrison said.
"People back then ... for as much as technology changed, were a lot like us," he said. "They had toys, marbles, bird feeders - just like us."
But his favorite pieces, and those he enjoys displaying, are those that hearken back to the early years of Lewistown.
"I enjoy the old stuff because we dig a lot of pits without getting close to the early stuff," he said.
Still, every excavation is an adventure in its own way, even if it ends in an empty pit, he said.
And while it may not be as exciting as outrunning a boulder in the Temple of Doom, each dig can bring the thrill of discovery for the amateur archaeologist.
"You gotta take it to the bottom ... otherwise you don't know what you're going to find," he said.

Pengrowth Energy (NYSE:PGH) continues to represent one of the best value and growth at a reasonable price plays in the Canadian oil patch. I first wrote about Pengrowth last July when the stock had fallen below $5.00 a share and the investor sentiment was frankly awful. Frequently, that is the best time to buy a stock and that certainly was the case with Pengrowth. Since that article was published a little over 6 months ago Pengrowth stock has risen about 36% in price in addition to paying out about $0.24 or about 6% in dividends for the period.
Pengrowth entered 2013 with too much debt and what appeared to be an unsustainable dividend after a few dismal years where the stock fell from the teens and a lot of investors lost money. I was one of them. But during 2013, management changed and the new team impressed me so I did a classical "double down" and increased my position from about 50,000 shares to 160,000 shares. The new team planned to reduce debt by selling "non-core" assets; develop a sustainable capital plan; and focus on the long-term development of the Lindbergh Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage ("SAGD") project in the Pengrowth portfolio. Initial pilot tests showed promise and the company had a plan so I bought in.
During 2013 the dividend rate was cut in half to the current $0.04 (Canadian) per month and $1 billion of assets were divested. Lindbergh met its objectives and is on track for 12,500 barrels a day of production beginning in 2015. Pengrowth entered 2014 with over $400 million cash on hand and a solid plan to fund not only its capital program but also to pay the reduced dividend.
A few tailwinds have not hurt. Oil prices have been relatively firm, natural gas prices have risen with the very cold winter and the Canadian dollar has fallen against the U.S. currency, effectively reducing operating costs. The benefits of these tailwinds are somewhat muted by the hedging program management has in place to ensure it can meet its obligations and fund its capital programs even if commodity prices fall, but they remain tailwinds and point to an upside surprise when the company reports earnings for the next quarter or two.
My July 2013 article drew only a handful of comments, mostly positive and mostly by readers who held positions in Pengrowth. I wrote again January 24, 2014 after the stock had enjoyed a good run and received a few more comments, again mostly positive and again from investors who had the patience to stay with it.
SA publishes the performance of stocks versus ETF alternatives on the first page of every article, a practice that encourages investors to make informed choices. In the case of Pengrowth that chart looks like this:
I mention the chart because it shows the value of patience. Pengrowth is the best performing alternative on the list for one day, for three months, for a year and for year to date, and not by a small margin.
Yielding 6.5% and trading at about 7 times my estimated of 2014 cash flows of around $1.00 per share, the stock is reasonably priced for a small cap oil name
The message is clear. Investors who do their homework, buy out of favor stocks where there are catalysts for positive change and who stay with their investment for more than a trade do very well. In my view, the positive trend for Pengrowth has legs. If the company keeps executing against its plan as it has been doing; sustains its transparency in investor reporting (something that came with the new management team); and commodity prices don't fall out of bed, there is no reason this stock cannot rebuild itself back into the high teens or low $20's over the next year or two.
Pengrowth reports March 3, 2014. I find annual reports more interesting than quarterly since they cover a broader range of detail on reserves and production and typically set out the path for the following year. I expect Pengrowth to report solid results and a bullish outlook as it steadily advances its projects. The stock could react favorably if I am correct.
I hope so. I have a little over $1 million riding on it.
Disclosure: I am long PGH. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Individuals comprise our community
As I have written before, there is such an honor, and a gratification, when putting pen to paper. It is especially true when I can experience and in turn show the qualities of the citizens in the area.
Just what am I talking about? The answer is this: It is the individual citizens that comprise our community having values of family and to display such whether in public or not.
In my days of having differing things to do, I frequent certain establishments as a rule and some I do not. In going out of the way to retrieve a certain item, I observed a young man, in his mid-20's, tending for his infant. As I walked closer, I saw a beautiful baby of 6 or 7 months of age.
I could not just pass on by.
I slowly edged closer and began to inquire about this beautiful little angel. The information I received from the father is about his loving concern as to the question he would later have to answer in the near and not too distance future.
As one could possibly think of such a gift, I was very un-expectant about what was to personally happen to me. It totally came out of the blue to me. I never would have realized this sudden overwhelming experience in it having such a play of power over my emotions.
If only that precious one could talk.
"Daddy and Mommy, here I am, your new baby. I would ask for you to talk to me. I know that I do not understand, but your voice, whether in a song, or babble, will quell my wanting to be. I really need to hear your voice. You see, this is how I will learn from both of you.
I would also ask of you to hold me close so I can understand where I am and who I will come to be. Now I feel much better and secure because of you.
I can smell who you are by the closeness and that makes me feel better.
With this feeling of safety, I know that I am free to explore my new birth in this ole world.
Daddy and Mommy, I know that I will cry a lot while I am such a small one and probably will until I get quite a bit older. But you see, I do not just cry to cry, I cry because I am hungry. Please do not let me cry all the time. Help me to let you know what I need. If you will do this, I will be such a happier baby. One final thing Dad and Mom, I ask you to just love me. I am who I am now, and with your help, I can grow and be what I need to be. Remember though, do not expect too much of me, as I am just learning.
Daddy and Mommy, please love me for just who I am."
I was totally floored with what I had just heard!
In no way would I have ever guessed this answer would come to one of my questions. Of course, it is not verbatim, but it is pretty close.
I am now 55 years of age, and in all my life, I have never been more concerned about today's youth. But, this young man and father, has all my respect as a grown man.
At the time, I could have only wished I was wearing a hat, as I would take it off to him.

Committee room abuzz as PAC sees both sides of steely Martin
Published 24/01/2014 | 02:30
THE Garda Commissioner was talking about bees. Martin Callinan was explaining to the slightly befuddled members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) how one individual had been spared penalty points. According to the police records, there were "bees worrying his livestock".
Martin confessed that "at first glance" he had been "almost entertained" by this official explication.
But then he further read the petition on this particular case, and it transpired that the driver in question (who happened to be a beekeeper) had received a call from his wife to inform him that his bees were out of control and he had to get back quickly as there were people in close proximity.
The Commissioner added that the chap in question was engaged in a lot of voluntary work in his community and had been "in the region of nine kilometres over the speed limit. . . a man who had never transgressed," he added in sympathetic tones.
Two quite different Garda Commissioner Martin Callinans showed up at various stages during the five-hour PAC session.
The committee started off dealing with the issue of allegations concerning the cancellation of fixed charge penalty points, but which evolved into a debate about the two Garda whistleblowers who brought the allegations to the attention of the public.
And it saw the warm fuzzy Commissioner, with the mild eyes, reassuring granddad moustache and Zen attitude. He described how "100pc" of last year's penalty point cancellations were all legit. "Holistically the system itself is working very, very well," he reckoned. And as for the whistleblowers – "If those people, at any time, choose to knock on my door. . . by God, my door will be open to them," he declared.
But then there was the other Garda Commissioner. The one who was having no truck with talk of national scandals involving alleged corruption in his force.
"Where is the 'national scandal' here? Can you point your finger to where the 'national scandal' is?" he retorted to Labour TD Derek Nolan, who had the temerity to use the term. "There are many, many allegations being made. . . but nobody has provided any evidence of corruption or malpractice."
Derek tried without much success to engage the commissioner in a debate about the definition of "corruption" – was it corrupt for a garda to cancel penalty points as a favour to a family member, for instance.
"I would expect all my officers to act appropriately and fairly," he replied.
Nor would he countenance any suggestions from the committee that the two whistleblowers – one a now-retired garda and the other a serving member of the force – had felt compelled to go public with their allegations because they had no faith in the internal confidential system for reporting corruption within the gardai.
"Isn't it extraordinary that it isn't dozens, hundreds of members making these allegations?" he wondered.
There was a startling flash of steel at the issue of the PAC bringing in the two whistleblowers to answer questions next week. And he warned that he was prepared "to take legal advice" if PAC insist on bringing them in.
John McGuinness wanted to discuss the whistleblowers. He read aloud from a letter delivered that morning to the committee from one of the men, which said, "I don't think that I would do it again. It destroyed me, my career and my family."
At the back of the crowded public gallery, one of the whistleblowers, retired sergeant John Wilson, sat quietly.
However, the Garda Commissioner had drawn a big blue line in the sand. He pointed out that as the "chief accounting officer" of the Garda Siochana he was happy to answer all questions relating to finances.
But that was as far as he would go. When it came to matters relating to dealing with members of the force. . . well. . . the PAC could buzz right off, frankly.

on January 30, 2013 - 12:01 AM
, updated January 30, 2013 at 6:29 AM
I have a long, checkered history of ingredient stalking. My cupboard holds the sad detritus of a dozen hopeful moments, standing in the aisle of an ethnic grocery, imagining how the foreign foodstuff might be fashioned into a dish of transporting deliciousness.
At home, without a recipe or a plan, the packages gather dust.
Last week, as I parked behind Sinbad Market, the Middle Eastern grocery at 2896 Delaware Ave. in Kenmore, I knew it would be different. I was getting professional help from Faith Gorsky, a food writer and photographer who grew up in West Seneca before marrying Mike, whose family is Syrian. That led her to learn the intricacies of Middle Eastern cuisine in Damascus at the side of her Syrian mother-in-law.
Gorsky has been back to the Middle East to eat, cook and research its cuisines firsthand four more times. She shares experiences and recipes on her food blog, anediblemosaic.com. Several months ago, she released "An Edible Mosaic" (Tuttle, 144 pages, $24.95), her first cookbook.
Turning its pages, filled with clear explanations of the secrets of Middle Eastern ingredients and flavors, as well as loads of detailed photographs, gave me hope. So I agreed to meet Faith and Mike at the grocery, whose shelves, freezers and cold cases hold one of the area's broadest arrays of Middle Eastern groceries.
It was time to get freekeh.
As Gorsky explained, the box I pointed to held kernels of young wheat, harvested before it's fully mature and loaded with vitamins. The grain is roasted, sometimes over open fire, and dried for storage. As it turns out, freekeh is another ancient food that is now hip among whole grain fans.
"It has this wonderful, smoky, toasty flavor that's really hard to come by," Gorsky said. "It's easy to cook, with a 30-minute soak, and it's typically served with chicken."
I saw the pomegranate molasses and sighed. I own two unopened bottles.
"It adds a complex, sweet-tart flavor to a variety of dishes, like muhumarra, a red-pepper spread," said Gorsky. It shows up as an unexpected deliciousness intensifier in a casserole called kowaj, made with ground beef or lamb plus zucchini or eggplant, and simple enough for an after-work dinner. "This makes an average weeknight dinner special," she said.
Pomegranate molasses also appears in Gorsky's recipe for cauliflower meat sauce. "In Damascus, our favorite falafel vendor uses it as a secret ingredient," along with the chickpea patties and salad fixings, she said.
She was looking for a cake of tamarind pulp, the same ingredient used in Asian, Indian and Mexican cuisines, because of the wonderful drink it makes. "You let it soak overnight, cook it and strain it, then sweeten it. It makes the most refreshing drink ever, almost lemony, but with a deeper, more complex flavor."
I picked up an envelope of ground cardamom, and Gorsky shrugged.
"It was worth it for me to buy a small jar of the ground spice because I use it frequently," she said. It's standard in Turkish coffee and in lots of savory dishes, including biryanis and other rice pilafs.
But buy as little ground cardamom as you can, because it loses its flavor quickly, she suggested. (Sinbad has an assortment of bulk spices sold by weight.) "You'd be better off getting whole cardamom and grinding them as you go," she said, even though whole cardamom has to be hulled before it's ground.
Another jar of ground spice was labeled "mahlab."
Gorsky explained that it's the kernels of the St. Lucie cherry, with an almond-cherry flavor. Like cardamom, where possible buy the whole spice and grind it yourself as needed, or buy small amounts of the ground variety.
"This is your secret ingredient for cookies, cakes or quickbreads," Gorsky said. "I put a pinch of this in and it enhances it, gives added richness and makes the cherry flavor pop. I never make anything cherry now without it, Middle Eastern or not."
While still in the spice aisle, I picked up a container of "shawarma spice" mixture, because I'm a big fan of the classic Middle Eastern sandwich of shaved spiced meat in a pita.
Gorsky's recipe for shawarma spice has 11 different spices I'd have to measure out. I am cheap and lazy, therefore my interest.
Good shortcut? I asked.
"Not if you can help it," she said. Mixes can give you similar flavors, but not the real thing, she said. They have different formulas, the quality of the ingredients is unknown, and you don't know how long it's been on the shelf, getting duller by the day.
"Make the mix yourself," she said. "It makes a huge difference." A big batch is no more work than a small one and could keep you in shawarma for months.
I was getting hungry, and I imagined I could smell fresh toasting pita bread.
"What's orange blossom water for?" I asked, trying to distract myself.
Like rose water, orange blossom water is used in a wide swath of Middle Eastern sweets, like baklavas, puddings and sesame fudge, or halwa, she said. "It's cooked into a syrup, then used to sweeten sweets. You'd use these the same way you'd use vanilla extract, a half teaspoon or teaspoon per batch."
We gave the cashier our purchases to ring up. As we headed out, I realized that the smell wasn't my imagination: Fresh pita bread was being baked in the back of the store. A man was putting pizza-sized discs of dough into a clay-lined oven similar to an Indian tandoor and pulling out flatbreads bubbled and charred in spots.
A plastic bag of four, steamy with the heat of the warm bread, cost $3. It's fragrant, supple and practically addictive, but it only retains its fresh characteristics for a day. I'll have to go back.
Roasted Green Wheat
with Chicken (Freekeh bil Dajaj)
Serves 4
Preparation Time: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes
to soak the wheat
Cooking Time: 40 minutes, plus 10 minutes
to let the wheat sit after cooking
1¼ cups roasted green wheat (freekeh)
3 tablespoons clarified butter (or 1 tablespoon
unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon canola oil)
2 tablespoons pine nuts or blanched almonds
1 onion, finely diced
1½ teaspoons 9 Spice Mix, divided
2 bay leaves
1¼ teaspoons salt, divided
2¼ cups boiling low-sodium chicken broth
or water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast,
sliced crosswise into ½-inch thick slices
Plain yogurt (optional, for serving)
Sort through the wheat to remove any irregular pieces, small stones, or pieces of dirt, and then rinse with cold water in a colander. Soak the wheat in cold water for 30 minutes, skimming off any debris that rises to the surface and changing the water two or three times; drain.
Add the butter and pine nuts to a medium heavy saucepan; over medium heat, stir until nuts are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer nuts to a small bowl; set aside.
Add the onion to the same saucepan and cook until softened and just starting to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the wheat, 1 teaspoon 9 Spice Mix, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the boiling chicken broth or water, turn the heat up to high.
Once mixture reaches a rolling boil, stir the wheat a stir, cover the saucepan, turn the heat down to low, and cook until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes; the water should be mostly absorbed, with the wheat slightly moist. Remove from heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
While the wheat cooks, cook the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining ½ teaspoon 9 Spice Mix and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt onto the chicken. Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat; add the chicken and sauté until fully cooked and lightly browned on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes.
To serve, arrange the chicken on top of the wheat on a large platter or bowl, then sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve immediately, with plain yogurt if desired.
Meat and Vegetable Casserole with Pomegranate (Kowaj)
Serves 6
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, diced
1 pound lean ground lamb or beef
1 and 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound marrow squash, zucchini, or
eggplant, cubed (peeled if using eggplant)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup water
1/4 bunch fresh parsley leaves, minced
Flatbread or rice with toasted
vermicelli noodles
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onion and sauté until starting to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the meat, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper; turn the heat up to high and cook until the meat is fully browned and the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and using a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Add the garlic and tomato and cook 5 minutes more.
Transfer the meat mixture to a medium-sized casserole dish along with the potato and marrow squash (or zucchini or eggplant); stir to combine.
Whisk together the tomato paste, pomegranate molasses, water, and remaining salt in a small bowl; drizzle on top of the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish and bake until the vegetables are tender, about 60 to 75 minutes.
Stir in the fresh parsley leaves and serve with Arabic flatbread or Rice with Toasted Vermicelli Noodles.

While we were sitting there, two moms were attempting to have lunch as their kids ate/played/fought. One little girl was having a major melt-down while her mom held her baby sister. It was chaotic, but I watched one mom ask her friend to hold the baby. She then gently walked her daughter outside of the restaurant, knelt down to her level, and talked to her. She didn't ignore her or yell at her. She gave her what she needed...attention. I can not tell you how many times I replay that moment in my mind -- even now, 8 years later. There is so much we can learn by watching others -- both good and band.

In the end, we are all just trying to do better. I think that's your point here. This gave you an opportunity to observe, reflect, and perhaps confirm (or even change) what works for you and your family.Lisa @ Heaven Senthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-22839953676976527672012-01-13T17:25:44.399-08:002012-01-13T17:25:44.399-08:00when I was a young mom of 21, I had a very strong ...when I was a young mom of 21, I had a very strong willed first child. He still is that way. This post made me think of myself way back then. I was impatient and didn't realize what I sounded like until I heard another mom do it in a store.

I felt so guilty and ashamed of what I must have sounded like to my young baby boy at that age of this boy.

I learned a lot in 11 years.I'm still learning.

It was raining, and Zach wanted to go back inside with Dad and big sister. So he laid down on the pavement. The wet rainy pavement. I contemplated walking away, decided too dangerous. Contemplated picking him up and physically dragging him to the car. Too dangerous. So I stood there, in the rain, with the baby in my arms, and let him just lay there in the ground. A very kind bystander lady offered to hold my daughter so I could deal with him, and I politely told her, "No thank you. He will eventually get tired of being wet and cold." She probably thought I was a moron, but sure enough, 30 seconds later, he stood up and walked calmly with me to the car. I seriously thought I was going to lose it in those 2-3 minutes haha!

I wanted to tell that mom that my daughter, my beautiful daughter that we are trying to adopt is the most non-judgmental person you will ever meet... and that she doesn't stare when others are in pain. she looks away. because she has experienced pain I will never know...

My mantra: there is nothing I have to do or nowhere I have to be that is more important than being kind to my children. Sometimes I fail miserably, but for the most part it has helped me to stop yelling and stop being an irrational jerk to my people.

If my son doesn't want to put his coat on, I won't fight him. But I do put the coat (and hat and mittens, too) under my arm as I walk out the door. He will get cold, that's a natural consequence, and it provides us with a teachable moment.

Legal and Moral Dimensions of Churchill's Failure to Warn
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
September 14, 2010
Cardozo Law Review, Vol. 20, No. 2, 1998
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-48
Churchill had been given at least forty-eight hours warning that Coventry would be hit. He could have warned the people of Coventry of the impending attack. Yet Churchill determined that any advance warning to the people of Coventry would have enabled the Germans to deduce that their top secret code had been broken. The coded intercepts provided evidence of the Holocaust in progress. Other ways to reveal information that could have by-passed the code system existed, thus providing warning to the public while maintaining a strategic advantage. The international law of genocide would have to develop to go beyond intentional acts to acts of misfeasance and malfeasance. Such expansion would help to close an uncomfortable gap between international law and international morality, for morality and law are symbiotic in the long run.

battle between Microsoft and Apple in the computing market has raged
on for decades. While Microsoft has a commanding lead in the
operating system market with Windows, Apple isn't exactly backing
down with OS X -- in fact, the Cupertino-based company continues to
grab market share and a large
portion of the $1,000+ computing market.
Windows and OS X users get into arguments on the web, Windows users
often point to OS X's tiny market share while OS X users point to how
vulnerable Windows operating systems have been in the past to
exploits. However, according to security guru Charlie Miller, OS X
users should subscribe to the idea that "people in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones".
claims to have found no less than 20 zero-day exploits within OS X.
Miller will present the exploits at CanSecWest
next week in Vancouver, British Columbia.
told Heise Security, "Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse
in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with
bars on the windows in the bad part of town."
sell lots of computers and nobody [shies away from] Apple computers
because of a perceived lack of security," Miller added. "So
in their minds, they don't have a security problem until it affects
their bottom line, which hasn't been the case, yet"
X has made the news plenty of times over the past year for security
holes. Last June, Apple finally fixed a Java exploit which went
unpatched for nearly a year. In late August, Apple shipped Snow
Leopard with a version
of Flash that was susceptible to outside attacks.
also took Apple to task last year saying that security protections in
OS X weren't
quite up to par with Windows 7. He noted, "It's harder to
write exploits for Windows than the Mac, but all you see are Windows
exploits. That's because if [the hacker] can hit 90% of the machines
out there, that's all he's gonna do. It's not worth him nearly
doubling his work just to get that last 10%."
quote: People build them to save money, if you can go to newegg, make a few clicks, wait a few days and then quickly build machine faster than some generic Dell or Acer, also more reliable and more quiet, of a less size and weight too, and in addition a couple of hundred bucks cheaper, then why the heck not?
quote: It used to be the case, and somewhat still is, but it's getting harder and harder to build your own low-end machines for cheaper than what the big box stores offer. If you used a pirated OS, maybe you'll save a bit more, but that's just not worth it for me.

When deciding if a duty is an essential function of a job, the employer's determination is only one factor that courts should consider. That's what the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided in Rorrer v. City of Stow. Attorney Sindy Warren examines the ruling on Warren & Associates' Our Blog.
The Americans With Disabilities Act case was filed by a firefighter who lost vision in one eye and was terminated because the employer decided he could no longer fulfill the essential functions of the job, specifically driving an emergency vehicle.
Warren says the trial court credited the employer's assertion that driving a fire truck was an "essential function." But the Sixth Circuit reversed, noting that under Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations, the employer's determination is only one of seven factors the court should consider, including time spent on the job performing the function and "consequences of not requiring the [employee] to perform the function."
Warren says the court found that "there was conflicting evidence about whether the ability to drive a fire truck was really essential or could have been assigned to someone else." She says since the trial court appeared to only consider the city's position, the case is being sent back and reassigned to a new judge.

Roland Hall died twice last winter.
That's what his doctors tell him. His body rejected a kidney during a transplant operation in January, and he spent seven weeks in the ICU after a second successful operation a few days later.
So Hall, 63, had a lot to be thankful for as he was honored as one of five Family Self-Sufficiency program graduates Wednesday in Charleston.
The national program is sponsored by the Charleston County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and its goal is to help get people off the Housing Choice Voucher rent subsidy program, or Section 8.
"It gave me something to look forward to, no matter what. It gave me that perseverance to move toward something else because there were goals set," said Hall, who pays most of the rent on a townhouse in Charleston.
There were times when Hall certainly needed that sense of perseverance.
In November 2005, he passed out while driving a truck loaded with 8,000 gallons of gasoline. The truck rolled down an embankment and crashed into some trees - miraculously not spilling a drop. While in the hospital afterward, Hall was told that his kidneys were traumatized and that he'd have to go on dialysis.
And so he did, while working part time at a group home for adults with disabilities. In 2009, Hall's social worker suggested that he and his daughter would be a good fit for the Family Self-Sufficiency program. He met all the qualifications, and it was through joining that he met Ginean Mazyck, the program's coordinator.
"A lot of people in his situation would have chosen to stay at home and just be, but he didn't. He got out there and worked, and he would call regularly and remind me of what I had to do," she said, laughing.
Hall received his kidney in January at MUSC, and his recovery has lasted all spring. He's still impatient to get back to work, and he didn't let his health slow down his Family Self-Sufficiency progress.
"If there was anybody who was deserving of that kidney transplant, it was Mr. Hall," said Mazyck. "When his mother called me in March to tell me he was doing better, I went over there to see him, and he said, 'Ms. Mazyck, I'm ready for graduation!'"
To graduate, participants are required to meet goals that they set for themselves. The goals can be financial, educational, health-related or job-related, but everyone must seek and maintain employment for two years, create and stick to a budget and attend credit counseling. They check in with program staff regularly to keep them on track.
If participants' income increases, they pay more of their rent, and the difference is set aside in an escrow account. They receive that escrowed money upon graduation.
Hall, Mazyck said, has been a model participant.
"He's a self-motivator. He's got his mind made up, and that's an ideal client for me," she said. "Because if you don't have motivation within, how can I motivate you out here?"
Hall, in turn, praised Mazyck for her support of all the program participants.
"Ms. Mazyck, she was tough," he said. "She would give you high standards to meet as a person, and I would meet them."
Hall, whose body has reacted nearly perfectly to the new kidney, said his next goal is to buy his own place within the next year - nothing too fancy.
"I don't want a big home, because who needs it?" he said. "And then I'd have to cut grass."

Vegetarians fall into four main subgroups. The distinction is of practical importance in that the more strictly vegetarianism is adhered to, the more difficult it becomes to assure an adequate diet for infants and children. Lactoovovegetarians exclude meat from the diet although some will eat fish. Milk and eggs are eaten with varying frequency but generally on a regular basis. Lactovegetarians refuse to eat eggs but will drink milk. Pure vegetarians reject any food of animal origin, including milk and eggs. One frequently sees pure vegetarians referred to as vegans. This term is probably better reserved for a subset of vegetarians whose philosophy precludes not only the consumption of foods of animal origin but also the use of any product of animal origin if a substitute exists. The proscription of animal products precludes the use of wool sweaters or leather shoes, for example. In addition to these obvious exclusions, things,

Things never seem to get any easier for dairy farmers.
The hours are long; the work is hard. In short, running a dairy operation is not for the faint of heart. Central Pennsylvania farmers say the ever-increasing expenses of feeding cattle are making it even more difficult.
Brynn Bower got into the dairy business as a youngster fresh out of high school in 2004. He plans to remain a dairy farmer, despite the drawbacks.
Article Photos
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Dairy farmer Brynn Bower adds feed to his cows feeding troughs Thursday. Feeding cattle is one of the ever increasing expenses facing dairy farmers in today's economy.
"Soybean is my main expense," he said.
Soybeans are part of the feed for cattle which helps supply the proteins cows need for enhanced milk production. By his estimate, he spends close to $2,000 a month on soybeans for 36 cows at his farm east of Hughesville. He grows his own corn which is part of the feed for cows. Overall, feed prices have increased dramatically in recent years, according to Penn State University Extension Educator Dave Hartman,
"The dairy farmers have been caught in the pinch because their feed costs have gone up," he said.
Tioga County farmer Terry Wilson said the increased demand of corn to produce ethanol is part of the reason for the rise in price for feed. Last year's drought, which hit much of the nation's farm belt, also is to blame. Erick Coolidge, a fourth generation Wellsboro area dairy farmer, said that high feed costs are simply part of the challenge of running an agricultural operation.
"As challenging as it is, when you incorporate an approved practice, you enhance the operation," he said. "It really comes down to whether you are in for the long haul."
Providing the best feed possible, he said, goes into the formula of running a good dairy operation. Coolidge said he raises his own hay and mixes it with corn silage and grain.
"We will buy soy and distillers that will go into feed," he said. "We buy our own soy."
Coolidge said a veterinarian provides a feed analysis and examines the cows. After all, being in the dairy business, he said, is a "science."
George Burgett, who runs a dairy farm between Hughesville and Lairdsville, estimated he buys about 200 bushels of feed corn a week at $7 a bushel. He also buys about 600 pounds a week of soybean meal to feed his 45 milking cows. Just a few years ago, the cost was less than half that amount. Needless to say, the costs add up.
"I've never seen it as tough as it is the last few years," he said.
Wilson and other farmers say they save some money by planting their own corn. He buys corn feed for added protein.
"In this business, you make a living, but you aren't going to get rich at it," he said.
Coolidge, a Tioga County Commissioner, said one reason he stays in the dairy business is to keep with a family tradition.
"Our son feels like he wants to continue with it," he said.
Beyond that, he feels dairy operations are an important part of the overall economy. Milk production in the state reportedly is a $2.34 billion business, with Pennsylvania dairy farmers' production at 1.2 billion gallons annually. Still, not many young people are taking up dairy farming these days.
Bower is the exception to the rule. He said it's what he's always wanted to do. Never mind the hardships.
"The neighbors help out some, but you can hardly afford to pay anyone with just 36 cows," he said. "My brother helps sometimes."
Overall, his is pretty much a one-man operation. Hal Drick, Spring-Cre Farm, Washington Township, agreed that rising costs are making things stuff.
"The feed expenses are largest single expense on the dairy farm," he said. "I buy my grain corn and protein. I don't begrudge the grain guys. They got to make a living too."
He grows his own corn on more than 100 acres and chops it up for corn silage. To save costs, he's cut back a little on his purchase of grain and protein.

APWA Priority: Protect ROW management authority in potential Telecom Act rewrite
Jim Fahey
Director of Government Affairs
APWA Washington Office
Nearly a decade has passed since enactment of the landmark 1996 Telecommunications Act. Since then, the world has witnessed rapid changes and unprecedented innovation in technology and communications, and it has seen a tremendous expansion in the availability of services and new choices to meet a growing demand for information. Wireless, broadband, broadband over power lines, Internet telephony, digital broadcast programming and video over the Internet are but several examples of the changing technologies shaping the nature of communications in our society today and for the future.
The changes, however, are not merely revolutionizing the way we communicate and transmit information; they are placing new strains on the regulatory framework governing telecommunications policy. Congress is aware of this and has spent the past year considering a rewrite of the 1996 Act. Although no comprehensive legislation has yet been proposed, several committees in the House and Senate throughout the year have held hearings to address specific telecommunications issues related to taxation, competition, technological innovation and other matters.
Tax issues and tax reform constitute a major portion of the rewrite debate, and local governments are working to preserve local taxing authority to sustain their public interest obligations. In addition to tax issues, preserving local authority to manage public rights-of-way represents another significant issue. Although the 1996 Act preserved local government authority over management of its public rights-of-way, that authority continues to face challenges.
Protecting local control remains an important policy objective for APWA and local governments. APWA's position on public rights-of-way management calls on Congress to uphold the authority of public agencies to manage public rights-of-way, which includes the ability to charge and receive fair and reasonable compensation for their use.
Ensuring local authority to manage public rights-of-way is an essential element in meeting public interest obligations, just as with preserving taxing authority. Much of the infrastructure installed or upgraded to provide new telecommunications services runs through local public rights-of-way. Local governments have a fiduciary responsibility to manage the construction and usage practices within the public rights-of-way—a public asset valued at more than $7 trillion—in order to ensure public safety, the efficient operation of infrastructure and fair access for providers of privately-owned services.
Preserving local control is one of APWA's top advocacy priorities, and as Congress considers a rewrite, APWA's message to policy-makers has been clear: Decisions regarding management and control of local public rights-of-way belong to local governments. That message has been delivered through congressional briefings and member meetings with congressional offices. As Congress began considering a rewrite this year, APWA member Roger Buell, chair of APWA's Utilities and Public Right-of-Way Technical Committee, conducted a congressional staff briefing in Washington, D.C. and presented APWA's advocacy positions to staff members responsible for telecommunications and public works infrastructure issues.
Because the issues Congress is considering are complex and many of them controversial, a timeline for a comprehensive rewrite continues to slip, and some issues are expected to be addressed in separate legislation, such as the issue of implementing the transition to digital broadcasts. As the debate moves forward, however, APWA and local governments continue to make the case in support of protecting local authority over management of the public rights-of-way.

Chicago Classification Criteria of Esophageal Motility Disorders (EPT)
Chicago Classification Criteria of Esophageal Motility Disorders Defined in High Resolution Esophageal Pressure Topography (EPT)
High resolution esophageal pressure topography (EPT) is an evolutionary technology incorporating the combination of high resolution manometry (HRM) and pressure topography plotting in the form of Clouse plots introduced in 2000 for the clinical evaluation of esophageal motility. Prior to that, EPT had been developed and utilized as a highly innovative research modality. The HRM Working Group first met in San Diego during DDW 2007 with the objective of adapting EPT to the clinical evaluation of esophageal motility. Since then, a series of HRM Working Group meetings have ensued on a more-or-less annual basis to review, critique, and plan the iterative process of developing a practical classification for esophageal motility disorders based on EPT-specific metrics and criteria. The classification scheme was initially branded 'The Chicago Classification' in 2007 following a series of seminal publications defining key EPT metrics and interpretation criteria optimized for clinical EPT studies emanating from a group of investigators at Northwestern University in Chicago. Since then, two iterations of the Chicago Classification have been published summarizing the incremental development of the classification scheme. The most recent meeting of the HRM Working Group was in Ascona, Switzerland in conjunction an international congress focused on the clinical evaluation of esophageal disease. This paper summarizes the Chicago Classification of esophageal motility disorders emanating from the meeting at the Ascona congress.

Duty of Candour – Advice for Gastroenterologists
Being open and honest with patients is something that all practising gastroenterologists in the UK have probably taken for granted throughout their career. However, in 2015 explicit guidance was published by the GMC along with the nursing and midwifery council highlighting the professional duty of candour for doctors (1) and furthermore there are now plans to implement a statutory duty of candour for healthcare providers in all four nations of the UK.
In essence the professional duty of candour can be summarised as: "Every healthcare professional must be open and honest with patients when something that goes wrong with their treatment or care causes, or has the potential to cause, harm or distress. This means that healthcare professionals must:
- Tell the patient (or, where appropriate, the patient's advocate, carer or family) when something has gone wrong.
- Apologise to the patient (or, where appropriate, the patient's advocate, carer or family).
- Offer an appropriate remedy or support to put matters right (if possible).
- Explain fully to the patient (or, where appropriate, the patient's advocate, carer or family) the short and long term effects of what has happened."

BSG Statement on the findings of the IBD Audit Report
Commenting, Dr Barney Hawthorne, Chairman of the IBD Section at the BSG, said:
"The British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) welcomes the findings of the latest round of the UK IBD Audit published today by the Royal College of Physicians, particularly noting the data on the use of biosimilar versions of infliximab in the NHS, and welcomes the contribution of BSG members to the findings.
"In February this year the BSG has published a guidance document supporting their use in IBD patient care. The guidance advocates their use when prescribed by brand name, and emphasises the importance of ongoing pharmacovigilance for patients receiving these drugs through ongoing data collection through the UK IBD Registry.
"With the NHS facing significant increasing financial pressures, biosimilars contribute towards improving IBD patient care and outcome while creating efficiency savings of up to £3million annually in this therapeutic area alone. We are encouraged by the reports key findings, including biosimilar versions of infliximab being shown to be as effective as other originator versions. It is vital that the reductions in costs to the NHS are used to reinvest in improvements to IBD services.
"The BSG have worked hard with partners to develop a wider IBD programme in the UK – encompassing the IBD Audit, BSG's IBD Registry and IBD Standards – and hope that this collaboration will continue to benefit patients with IBD."
Cancer Genetics in Clinical Practice
A Guide to Cancer Genetics in Clinical Practice
BSG member Sue Clark has recently published a new textbook 'A GUIDE TO CANCER GENETICS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE' which has a significant gastroenterology content.
This book covers the basic concepts of cancer genetics. The common inherited cancer syndromes are each dealt with in greater depth, with the current management outlined. It is aimed at all clinicians who may encounter these conditions in their practice. The book sets out to facilitate identification of high-risk individuals and families, to inform interaction with geneticists and other sub-specialists, to provide a basis for patient management and to stimulate interest in these fascinating conditions.

Mike Barnett to Release Solo Album One Song Romance
Fiddler/vocalist from The Deadly Gentlemen steps out with debut solo project featuring Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Jarosz, Noam Pikelny, Tim O'Brien and more.
From a young age, Mike Barnett has made his mark on the bluegrass world as an extremely talented fiddler. He has toured as a member of Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys, the David Grisman Sextet and the progressive bluegrass quintet, The Deadly Gentleman, which he co-founded. With the release of his debut solo project, ONE SONG ROMANCE, Barnett is poised to establish himself as a solo artist with a broad and engaging musical vision that reaches from bluegrass into acoustic jazz and beyond.
Barnett penned all of the music on the twelve-track album which showcases his vocal abilities as well as his virtuosic fiddle technique. The tracks moves from slick bluegrass fiddling ("More Strangs") through Celtic ("Change Her Mind"), swing ("Dig, Dig, Dig") and neo-grass on the album's opener "It'll Be All Right." Special guests and collaborators include Aoife O'Donovan, Tim O'Brien, Noam Pikelny, David Grier, Dominick Leslie, Chris Eldridge and more.
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Michael Barnett began studying the fiddle at age 10 and by age 15 was touring with the legendary "Mr. Mandolin" Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys, playing regular weekend performances on the Grand Ole Opry. That same year, at age 15, he became the youngest instructor ever to teach at the fiddle school at Vanderbilt University. Barnett later relocated to the Northeast where he has built his profile touring and recording with Jonathan Edwards, Tony Trishcka and Gordon Stone. In 2010 Barnett and banjoist Greg Liszt co-founded The Deadly Gentlemen, a progressive bluegrass outfit that allowed Mike the space to push the limits of traditional fiddle playing and incorporate new influences into his constantly evolving style. After four years with the group, Barnett will now focus on exploring his solo career path.

I enjoyed reading the article entitled "Closing the Quality Chasm in Health Care: The Role of Critical Reading" in the April 2005 issue of the ARCHIVES.1 I agree with much of what was stated in that article but thought it could have gone further.
My background has been in both private practice (21 years) and, more recently, in academic medicine (11 years). My interest in understanding adult learning theory was prompted by my becoming a teacher of medical students and residents when I went into academic medicine. However, as I looked back on my practice years, I realized that, for many years, my partners and I had struggled with how to become "lifelong learners." In our practice in Charlottesville, Va, we invited speakers over the noon hour to talk to us, we attended Continuing Medical Education meetings, we published articles, some of us taught at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville) 1 day a week, and we each read up to 12 journals a month, but we were not confident that our methods promoted optimal learning.

God wants to bring hope to a hurting world and restore dignity in those who have been bruised by the enemy. However, the process and the people He is going to use to accomplish this mission is not going to be how or with whom we might think. Proper identity is one of the keys to seeing this ministry in the earth become a reality.
