For years after the people of Zimbabwe ended colonial rule, they enjoyed a prosperous society in which over 90% of children attended school and its universities were among the best in Africa. Unfortunately, President Robert Mugabe decided to end the last vestiges of colonialism by seizing the land of white farmers, over 5,000 of whom had remained in Zimbabwe and were seeking to create new relations with Africans. Each of the farms employed over a hundred local Africans and enabled the nation to feed itself and earn income from exports. But, Mugabe wanted the land in order to reward his henchmen and cronies, few of whom had any interest in farming, but a great deal of interest in enriching themselves. This week, Ian Campbell-Morrison, whose land was taken away and given to an official, was evicted from his home and he was fined "for illegally occupying state land" even though he lives in a cottage and his wife tends to a garden.
Morgan Tsvangirai promised to end the lawlessness which has destroyed the nation's farm production and led to a 94% unemployment rate. Suddenly, he has begun to talk like Mugabe by referring to these farm seizures as having "been blown out of proportion."
Zimbabwe had every right to develop an orderly legal process of purchasing land of white farmers in a gradual manner to ensure the land was properly farmed by local people. But, to take land in order to reward thugs is hardly the way to gain international recognition.
Doesn't Tsvangirai grasp that other nations will not invest their money in a country which seizes the land of people and gives it to government officials? Who in their right mind would invest a single penny in a Zimbabwe which is ruled by the gun, not the law? Wake up Tsvangirai and act like the leader your nation needs!

Belts may wear out and split gradually. A belt that becomes worn can easily slide or also come to be so slack that it may not work correctly. Hose pipes may glaze and fracture after years of use or when exposed to extreme temperatures. A damaged hose may bring about vital fluids leaking from your engine and may trigger damage to engine parts. To avoid a few of one of the most usual sources of breakdown, see to it your belts and hoses are examined at regular intervals.
Why service is vital: Belts can wear and fracture over time. To protect against some of the most common causes of failure, make certain your belts and hoses are checked at routine intervals.
Automotive Belt Replacement in Claremore
Ask your mechanic about belts and hoses if you notice any sort of:
- Loss of power
- Squealing or grinding sound

- Hardening, fracturing and softening of hose pipes
- A cooling system pressure test to help inspect for punctures
- Loose or worn clamps

Such was the case again Sunday against our hated arch enemies, the Oakland Raiders. As the Chiefs met their sporting adversaries in the Black Hole of the Raider Nation, they came away looking as bad if not worse than any game they have played this entire season. To get beaten by the Raiders is always a letdown. But to get disgraced in Oakland by five field goals, simply put is a disgrace.
But the way the Chiefs have been playing this year, you'd think at some point things would change. And that it would be easier to go into an opposing team's stadium and compete with an attitude they could win. And by any stretch of the imagination on paper, this should have at least been a game that Kansas City should have managed a single field goal.
After all, the Raiders had lost six games in a row and the Chiefs had only lost one. Yet if a KC Chiefs player, you can't get pumped up by preparing to play the team you have detested beginning in the early 1960's and since the days of John Madden, you best hang up your cleats and call it a day.
As a matter of fact, after watching them play this last time, I think they should hang up their cleats and call it a season. It's getting harder and harder to watch the team I love shame themselves almost week in and week out. There is an immense amount of talent on the field and knowing that talent is being wasted, frustrates everyone
Being a columnist for Warpaint Illustrated and a humble Kansas City Chiefs fan the past 45 years, I'm convinced that if the Chiefs could somehow beg, borrow or steal to get a hold of a young outstanding quarterback, it might very well turn around the entire fortunes of this organization.
That, to me, seems more important than seeking out another great head coach or another high profile general manager. Because having a good quarterback is kind of like being a good putter in the game of golf.
Sure, if you can drive the ball really well, hit approach shots to the green and bend hybrid shots around trees to get the ball to go where you want, you might have a fairly good chance of winning your golf match. But putting is something that you have to do on every single green!
All of the great golfing legends shared one thing in common they were fantastic putters. Names such as Nicklaus, Watson, Woods, Trevino, could putt lights out when they had Majors in their sights.
Same thing applies in football.
Every single snap of the ball goes to the quarterback and every play that offense makes has to go through the hands of quarterback. And if that quarterback isn't of good quality, the team doesn't stand a good chance of winning. It's just simple math.
The better you putt, the more matches you win. Simple. The question is, when are these guys going to figure this out?
The fact is, until the Chiefs organization can grasp the fact they need a new super talented quarterback of the future, it's going to be like "Groundhog Day" every Sunday for the rest of their short careers!
Is it as simple as a franchise quarterback?

Here Comes The Sanibel Sun
A few more beautiful sunrises and sunsets have happened since I took this photo last week. I almost forgot about showing you these amazing treasures and moments because time seems to be passing with the speed of light. I didn't find the shell of a lifetime so it didn't seem as important to post. But that's not what its all about, is it? It's not just finding the biggest and best shell pile in the world. It's finding something that makes you happy and content while you are on the hunt for that once in a lifetime seashell. The amazing thing about beach combing is that every day and every hour there's something beautiful to see or washes up at your toes.
Life is colorful. No two people will see beauty the same way.
Enjoy each moment on the beach. You might not find a more special place on earth.
There will be days you will never forget.Read More
Happy Easter From Sanibel
Shellebrate this beautiful day…
In this glorious time…

Life Is Good With A Sanibel Sunrise
It's really a shame I'm not a morning person. Everybody assumes since I'm an obsessed sheller that I'm always the first one on the beach every morning. Wrong! I'm a lazy bum in the mornings and I love to sleep in… but there are a few certain occasions I like to see the sunrise. One of those occasions would be a really low morning tide after some nice north winds. That'll give me a little shove out the door every time.
Every single solitary time I'm on the beach to witness a new day as the sun rises up over a fresh new string of shells with a golden glow… I wish I was a morning person.
It's the time to see live healthy creatures.
I didn't even have to touch this SAND DOLLAR to know it was alive. Not only was it dark brown, I could see cilia (or what I call "fur") lining the outside of its body as well as each of the key hole slits. So beautiful!
This live LIGHTNING WHELK had already done an excellent job of digging itself back into the wet sand to wait for the tide to soon cover him back up completely so I left him alone as well.
My sunrise morning trip to Gulfside City Park Beach to see the beautiful colors of dawn, feel the calmness and to pick up a few treasures was well worth hearing that alarm clock ringing in the dark. But when I think about it, every single time I'm on the beach whether its dawn, mid morning, noon, afternoon, early evening or at dusk… I find something that makes me happy.
A few minutes before I headed home, I admired my loot and realized that I didn't need to take everything I picked up. So if my biggest decision of the day was to choose which shells made it home with me… life is good today.
Come with me on a shelling trip! CLICK HERERead More
Sanibel's Captivating Live Sea Creatures
As we celebrate new days watching the sun rise over the horizon at low tide in the new year on Sanibel…
We also shellebrate the gifts of the sea…
We also celebrate the gift of witnessing living creatures exposing themselves for just a short time as the water recedes.
With most animals, we are easily able to see if they are alive, healthy and breathing but with creatures of the sea that have washed ashore, it's a little bit more difficult. We (shellers) take the time to to look for signs of life with respect. As soon as I saw this shell was occupied by noticing the body and OPERCULUM of the "snail" still intact, I gently placed it back in the water covered with sand making sure the opening faced down into to sand.
Even for some shellers, it's hard to tell if a SAND DOLLAR is dead or alive so the best thing to do first is… slow down. Take a few minutes to look for any cilia which looks like fur or looks a little fuzzy in the edges. Any time a SAND DOLLAR is this color, assume that it is still alive… gently place it back in the water.
If a STARFISH is any where near the water or if the sand is still damp where you found it, always assume it is still alive too and let it be.
Shellers are very fortunate to have seen the miracles of Mother Nature as we comb the shorelines to discover the magic of the sea. We learn new lessons every day we walk the water's edge. For most beach combers, we know the signs of life in sea creatures but inexperienced visitors may be overwhelmed with the beauty that surrounds them and not know to take the time to look for signs of life. Since I grew up on the water, I always assumed other folks knew shells, SAND DOLLARS and STARFISH live their lives close to shore but now I've learned that most people don't know much about life in the ocean or gulf. First time visitors to the beach may have heard how amazing shell collecting is and unintentionally collect a live animal without knowing it. It's an amazing experience to see the compassion on a new sheller's face after learning they have collected a live animal then race it to the water where they found it to save its life. Most just don't know… and are thankful to learn and appreciate the living ocean even more.
There have been so many live critters exposed during the morning's low tide the last few days so with many newbies on the beaches, I'm sure I'll get to see the amazement on someone's face that just learned for the first time that shells, sand dollars and starfish are living beings and are still actually alive.
Come with me on a shelling trip! For upcoming dates … CLICK HERERead More
Sanibel Sunrise Whelkcome Mat
As our year of 2012 is winding down, Sanibel Island is bustling with tourists this week shellebrating the holidays with sunshine, clear skies and plenty of empty souvenir seashells on our beaches. At sunrise, low tide exposed a "whelkcome" mat of large live WHELKS, CONCHS and TULIPS at Gulfside City Park this morning to view these magnificent living creatures for just a few minutes before the incoming tide covered them up again.
A true gift to see the miracle of a living MOLLUSK.
Peace.Read More
Scouting The Beaches
After almost 2 days of high north/west winds, I bundled up in my warmest clothes then hit the 45 degree beach this morning. I know some of you are experiencing much lower temps than that ….. but geeez….the wind chill was killer. My finger tips almost froze off! This poor guy was not too happy either rolling in the surf but he was still healthy and kicking.
I was a little surprised but there was only a few left over shells at the jetty rocks on Captiva…
One side of the sand bar in the pass had a few COCKLES and CALICO SCALLOPS…
The other side had no shells but still had a beautiful view…
Then I went home. Late this afternoon, I couldn't stand it. I went back to Blind Pass to scout out the beach again thinking the shells were finally coming in.
Not yet still! But I did find Susan from Fort Walton Beach, FL. She found a few treasures including this double ALTERNATE TELLIN…
There were a few LETTERED OLIVES, FIGHTING CONCHS and COCKLES to brighten the day. I also saw lots of HORSE CONCH EGG CASES…
Tomorrow, the mercury will start to rise. Oh thank goodness. And maybe we'll see some shell piles too!Read More

EasyHotel and easyCruise - new ventures from the group behind low-cost airline easyJet - are to put some of the frills back into low-cost travel.
"We are already becoming known as the people who make you sleep in a room with no windows," said chairman Stelios Haji-Ioannou.
"We did experiment with the idea of charging for soap and toilet roll, but decided that was too much. In fact, guests can have typical hotel services like towels or linen changed daily - but they will be optional extras, provided for a charge."
EasyHotel completed the purchase of its first property in Kensington this week, and plans to open by this autumn before rolling out in New York, Paris and Barcelona. Rooms will cost between £5 and £60 per night, and will be prefabricated of moulded plastic in easyJet's trademark orange and grey.
Cabins on easyCruise's Mediterranean ship will be identical to the hotel rooms, but onboard frills will include a spa and restaurant. The first sailing is scheduled for next spring. Haji-Ioannou, is also thinking of setting up easyTravelAgent.

Map is a heavily used function, in the Mathematica kernel as well as by
users. I would not recommend redefining it unless you have convinced a
BRPOE (Blue Ribbon Panel Of Experts) that your results will improve the
world for generations to come. Generally such redefinition will bite,
and hard, when doing some unrelated computations.

I started my (finally) early morning off with some sergeant Darj. I am loving up on the Darj and HAD to have a cup of it lastnight right before bed. So I re-steeped the leaves this morning.. .which then lead into this tea. I got this as a sample with my very first order from Verdant, and I figured it was definitely time to review it. Having sipped this previously to get a feel for the tea, now is the time to ensure it gets a good review before my next two orders show up! giddy with excitement
Dry: oh my gosh sweet smelling leaves. Was there contamination? I don't think so.. but these leaves smell like sweet rock sugar. Maybe my nose is playing tricks on me. Tricky nose.
Liquor: I am doing a gongfu style brewing with a little tiny 5 oz tea pot I found. I put in two tsp and a bit of leaves. I have to admit I sipped on the rinse and it has carmel chocolate notes…and I have a bit of a cooling sensation on the first half of my tongue and roof of mouth. Also – no tea dust really! It's lovely!
1st (2 sec): It smells grainy. Also like fresh linen. I don't know where that came from, but it's there. I kept sniffing trying to place it.. then all of the sudden fresh cotton popped in my head and it was like yes. That is it. It's still very hot, but I am taking micro-sips and getting TGY. Malty and roasted TGY. Oh yes and I found some dulce de leche too. Mid-to outer edges of the back of my tongue. Thick and sweet. This will be a long one folks as I am not even half way through my first cup and it's getting long. oops! oh… I just huffed the end of the cup and it reminds me of the smell of the Nestea or nesquick.. instant ice tea crystals. Really weird. But good. It brings me back to childhood when I used to drink that garbage. I really like that smell though.
2nd (4 sec): The smell is still roasted TGY… same with the taste, but I can taste a berry hint that is lingering in the back of the throat and building with each sip. Little glimpses of cocoa and salted caramel. Weird! I was browsing on facebook and just noticed DT came out with a salted caramel tea. Coincidence to my tasting here? I think not. Shoot. Salted carmel is a secret love of mine. hides credit card and drinks more of the lovely tea
3rd (13 sec) Steep turned out to be way longer than anticipated. I am definitely getting a sparkly cooling on my mid-tongue. With an orange flavour in the back of my tongue to accompany it. Still salted caramel. Oh yummer.
Ok..I will keep sipping on this for as long as it will let me. I need to do some homework instead of getting absolutely tea drunk on this stuff whilst watching the ferry boats and cruise ships come into the harbour on this lovely sunny day. sigh But mmmmm carmel.
Thank you so much Verdant for this lovely lovely sample. It is now on my list.
Edit: I am onto my 10th or 11th steep of this stuff (which I now just let sit for minutes at a time) and it just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter with a thick full-mouth feel. Delicious. I keep saying I will dump out the leaves, but then find myself saying.. well just one more cup, I bet it can't have anything good to offer anymore. But every time it does. I've said that 3 times now.. I'm just brewing up some more water for my 4th.
Next up is the Autumn Tieguanyin from Verdant as well… I guess it will have to wait =\


text: CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A University of Virginia Darden School of Business study finds that American CEOs are worth their paychecks. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100916/DC66431LOGO) The number of zeros in paychecks of American CEOs often comes under fire. Many believe that American CEOs take home too much money. American workers who face stagnant to lowering wages in a tough economy have argued the point, as have professional firms, which emphasize that CEOs in America earn more than their counterparts abroad. Do they? "No," said Darden Professor Pedro Matos. In his upcoming paper, "Are U.S. CEOs Paid More? New International Evidence," Matos and his colleagues investigated CEO salary data from more than 1,600 U.S. and international firm across 13 European countries. Without the limitations of past domestic and global compensation disclosure rules, the researchers learned not only do American CEOs earn salaries comparable to those of international CEOs, but many U.S. CEOs earn a portion of their pay based on the value they create for shareholders. The results will appear in a future edition of The Review of Financial Studies. Matos reported in "Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation" blog that paychecks of U.S. CEOs are quite reasonable. He took into account characteristics such as board structure, firm type and ownership structure. "Initially, U.S. CEO salaries appear twice as large as salaries of CEOs in other countries, but one is really comparing apples to oranges due to differences in the way that U.S. firms operate compared to their international counterparts," said Matos. According to Matos, American-based firms lean toward institutional ownership and independent boards, which leads to better oversight. "We think it's a sign of good corporate governance when firms are monitored closely by institutional owners as well as independent board members. These push for CEO pay to be tied to shareholder performance," said Matos. "It should cause us to question the belief that U.S. CEO pay is excessive."

Freeze Now, Feast LaterPosted: May 24, 2013 Filed under: casserole, fish, italian, mexican, pasta | Tags: glutenfree, vegetarian, wheatfree 2 Comments »
As my baby's due date approaches, I've become inundated with advice for the days and weeks immediately following the birth. One I come across time and time again is to make and freeze some meals for Phil and I to enjoy while we're adjusting to life with a newborn. I've never been one to do this normally (cook meals ahead of time and store them in the freezer) except for vegetable stock (which definitely isn't a meal) but I think it will come in really handy for us.
I looked up a few freezer-friendly dinner recipes and tweaked them a little. And today was my cooking day since the rain is relentless and certainly doesn't make it feel much like Memorial Day weekend!
The first recipe actually makes a double batch (I decided to freeze both, but you could always cook these before dinner – serve one that night and freeze one for later). Here's my Garden Baked Penne:
Garden Baked Penne
Prep Time: 35 mins
Cook Time: up to 2 hours
Keywords: bake simmer saute entree gluten-free wheat free vegetarian soy-free Italian
Ingredients (serves 8)
- 1 pound brown rice penne
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino cheese
- 2 small zucchini, grated
- 1 cup goat or buffalo Mozzarella, broken into small chunks
- ground black pepper to taste
This recipe makes 2 separate batches. If you're serving one for dinner tonight, preheat the oven to 375F. If not, start at the next step.
Line a baking or casserole dish with foil with excess folded over the sides.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, draining 1-2 minutes before completely cooked.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat and add the onion and red pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, then add the garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then pour in the crushed tomatoes and water, along with a teaspoon of sea salt. Simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
Add the sauce to the cooked pasta, along with the spinach, pecorino, zucchini, and a pinch more black pepper. Stir to combine.
Divide between the two dishes and top with the mozzarella.
IF COOKING NOW: bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly golden.
IF FREEZING NOW: leave to cool completely, then cover with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. (Once the dish is frozen after 24 hours, you can remove the foil wrapped meal from the baking dish to be used in the meantime. Place the foil wrapped meal back in the freezer by itself). To cook, transfer the covered meal back into the original pan you used and place directly in a 375F oven for 90 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden.
I also made Gluten-Free Salmon Cakes (adapted from a recipe in the April/May issue of Kiwi Magazine) and Butternut Squash & Black Bean Enchiladas (adapted from the April/May issue of Clean Eating).
That's plenty of food for us as we get into the rhythm of parenthood!
Your Healthiest Super Bowl Party EverPosted: February 1, 2013 Filed under: casserole, healthy habits | Tags: dairyfree, eggfree, glutenfree, soyfree, vegan, vegetarian, wheatfree 1 Comment »
I personally can't wait for this Sunday's main event – watching all the overpriced commercials and picking my favorite. Oh and the football game too.
In the last few years, however, since I was living in London and they show the game live, which means it goes on far too late for me and my sleepy head, I've been more excited about having people over for chili and cornbread. It's a great excuse to invite friends over and share a casual meal – something that requires very little effort on your part and produces tasty results.
I've posted about Superbowl parties I've had before, but decided to re-post the recipes here with some tweaks I've made over the years and will be using this Sunday.
Have a fabulous Super Bowl Sunday everyone and enjoy the day!
Gluten-Free Vegan Cornbread
Adapted from Veganomicon
- 2 cups coconut or almond milk
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 cup gluten-free flour mix (like Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or honey
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Either use a cast-iron skillet or a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Combine the milk and vinegar in a jug and set aside to curdle.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk mixture and oil. Use a wooden spoon to mix together until just combined. Some lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a knife inserted through the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
Cocoa-Coconut Chili
Adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp hot chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 15-oz cans chopped tomatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- tabasco, to taste
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- lime wedges, to serve
- In a large pot, add oil, onion, celery, pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, and allspice, and stir to combine. Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally; reduce heat if onions or garlic starts to burn.
- When onions start to soften, add cocoa powder and stir for 1-2 minutes, then add tomatoes, beans, coconut milk, and coconut, and stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in corn kernels and cook another 5 minutes to heat through. Remove cover to let liquid reduce if desired. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze on generous amounts of juice.
HAWMC: Day Off – Red Dragon PiePosted: April 25, 2012 Filed under: about the kitchen, casserole | Tags: dairyfree, eggfree, glutenfree, hawmc, soyfree, vegan, vegetarian, wheatfree 2 Comments »
For the month of April, I'm participating in the Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge from Wego Health. Each day I'll be writing a health-related post based on the HAWMC prompts, aiming to challenge myself as a writer and health activist. Thanks for following!
Today's prompt was to write about a memory you have in the third person. I'm not really feeling it, so instead, I'd like to share a delicious and nutritious dinner recipe that Phil and I shared the other night and then again for the rest of the week (SO MANY LEFTOVERS)! We had been talking about what Phil's Mom used to make for dinner for him and his brothers when they were kids. Red Dragon Pie – he could remember the name but not the contents – is something he's mentioned before. And shortly after we talked about it, I was catching up on reading blogs and saw that someone in my blogroll had posted a photo of their own version of Red Dragon Pie. It was time to slay the dragon…
The original recipe for Red Dragon Pie comes from Sarah Brown's Vegetarian Kitchen, who named it because "the Chinese call aduki beans 'red dragon' or 'red wonder' beans as they have found them to be so full of goodness…maybe you will have the power of the dragon after eating it!" So there you go!
However, I didn't have any aduki beans, so used black beans instead, and I'm sure any other bean would be wonderful in this recipe. But I love adukis, so I'll be making this again the right way.
It's a great one to make ahead of time and then refrigerate or freeze. That way you're only 30 minutes from having a great meal – one that is packed full of goodness. The filling has loads of veggies and flavors and the topping is pure and simple sweet potatoes with a little turmeric mixed in for an anti-inflammatory boost.
Red Dragon Pie
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Keywords: saute steam boil bake entree vegetarian vegan wheat free gluten-free nut-free sugar-free
Ingredients (serves 6)
For the Filling
- 2 cans aduki beans
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 tsp ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 small red chili, finely chopped
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 celery sticks, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tamari or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
For the Topping
- 6 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and chopped (leave skins on)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup milk (non-dairy)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp paprika
Start by preparing the sweet potatoes. Boil or steam them (already chopped) until you can easily pierce with a dinner knife. Drain if necessary. Then mash with the coconut oil, milk, and turmeric. An optional step here is to place this mixture in a food processor for a smoother result, but if you like the texture with the skins, feel free to leave it as is. Set aside.
In a large casserole dish, saute the onions, ginger, and chili in some coconut oil until soft. Season, then add the carrots, celery, and peppers. Contain to cook for a few minutes, then add the beans, tomatoes, and tamari or liquid aminos. Cook for 10-15 minutes. You're looking for a dryer consistency rather than too liquidy.
Heat the oven to 375F if you're planning on eating soon.
Top the vegetable and bean mixture with the sweet potatoes, smoothing across for an even layer. [At this point, you can refrigerate or freeze your dish for cooking later]
Using a fork, make a pretty pattern on the top! Sprinkle with the paprika.
Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes, or until the top starts to brown. Enjoy warm with something green on the side.
Herding the LentilsPosted: March 21, 2011 Filed under: casserole | Tags: eggfree, soyfree, vegetarian, wheatfree 1 Comment »
I think I've sussed it. The key to a successful vegetarian shepherd's pie is to let the lentil stew cook for a lot longer than you'd think. The texture and flavor will resemble a meaty version so accurately that your non-vegetarian friends will never guess! And this comes from actual experience.
Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie
Serves 4; adapted from a bbc good food recipe
The particulars:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- 2 cups green lentils, cooked
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp goat's butter
- 3/4 cup mature goat's cheddar, grated
- In a large saucepan or casserole dish, heat the oil, then add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the carrots and garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Reserve a tiny bit of the thyme for sprinkling on top, and put the rest into the pan with the veg. Saute for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the veg stock, wine, and tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the lentils, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils have started to break down.
- Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until tender, then drain and mash with the butter. add salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the pie in a casserole dish with the lentil mixture on the bottom, followed by the sweet potato mash spread across the top. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the sweet potatoes, and finish with the remaining chopped thyme on top. At this point you can cover and chill the pie for 2 days or freeze it for up to a month!
- Bake in a preheated oven (375F) for 20 minutes (40 minutes from chilled), or until golden and bubbling. Serve with purple sprouting broccoli.
Substituting SausagePosted: September 18, 2010 Filed under: casserole | Tags: dairyfree, eggfree, soyfree, vegan Leave a comment »
Lately, I've been getting some great meal inspiration from the Guardian's food and drink section. They usually have some wonderful recipes from the likes of nigel slater and hugh fearnley-whittingstall, but this feature article struck my eye: what meat substitutes taste like. We've always got some Quorn products in this household, as Phil pretty much grew up on the stuff and loves it. However, it's packed with egg, dairy, and soy protein, making it not a great option for us both. But this article reminded about how great linda mccartney sausages are! As far as meat substitutes go, this is topnotch. Unfortunately, they do contain gluten, so they're not great for a celiac or gluten-intolerant person. But, on occasion, they work well when combined with lots of fresh vegetables or for a traditionalist, some mash and gravy.
The other night for dinner, when the temperature inexplicably dropped to see-my-breath levels, I incorporated some chopped up McCartney sausages with sweet potatoes, onions, and apples. The resulting baked casserole was a tad on the dry side, but tasted just like fall. This is a really hearty and wholesome meal, and can be enjoyed with any kind of sausage you like.
Sweet Potato and Sausage Bake
Serves 2
The particulars:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
- 6 sausages, chopped into 4 pieces each (vegetarian version optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Heat the oven to 375F. Combine all ingredients in a roasting tray and toss together so that all the vegetables and sausages are coated with the oil and herbs. Season and bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Serve warm from the oven with a dollop of your favorite chutney or mustard and some green salad.

I was entertaining recently and it occurred to me that I could use a few more candy dishes. These stainless steel snack bowls are fun and modern, with a tantalizing tilt that will showcase your favorite nibblers.

These are great for entertaining. I love the way the stainless steel keeps your dip or condiment cool. The little tilt to them give them a nice edge.

"Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, in order to have tranquillity with them and He put love and mercy between your (hearts) : verily in that are signs for those who reflect."
Quran Ar-Rum [30:21]
Category Archives: Quran
The Merits of Dhikr
[Tafsir Mariful Qur'an Surah Baqarah Verse 152]
Dhikr or 'Remembrance' essentially pertains to the heart, but in so far as the tongue is the interpreter of the heart the oral recitation of a Divine Name or a verse of the Holy Qur'an is also described as Dhikr. In other words, oral Dhikr can be worth the name only when it is accompanied by the 'remembrance' of the heart. As the great Sufi poet Rumi points out, the recitation of a Divine name can have no efficacy if one keeps thinking of cows and donkeys while repeating it mechanically with the tongue. One must, however, bear in mind that even a mechanical Dhikr without the heart being engaged in it is not altogether futile. It is related that the great Sufi Abu Uthman, hearing a man complain of such a situation, remarked that one should be grateful to Allah even for this favour of having drawn at least one organ of the body into His service. (Qurtubi)
The merits of Dhikr are, indeed, innumerable. What greater merit could one wish for than the assurance that when a man 'remembers' Allah, He too 'remembers' him. Abu Uthman once claimed that he knew the time when Allah remembered His servants. The listeners grew curious as to how he could determine this. He replied that, according to the promise made in the Holy Qur'an, when a Muslim remembers Allah, He too remembers him, and thus everyone can know for himself that as soon as he turns to Allah and remembers Him, Allah too remembers him.
Let us add that Verse 152 means to say that if men 'remember' Allah by obeying His commandments, He will 'remember' them by granting His pardon and His rewards. The commentator Sa'id ibn Jubayr has, in fact, interpreted the Dhikr or 'remembrance' of Allah as obedience and submission to Him. He says:
"He who has not obeyed Him has not remembered Him, even though he has kept himself externally busy in offering (nafl: supererogatory) prayers and reciting His praises."
This explanation is fully supported by a hadith cited by Al-Qurtubi on the authority of Ahkam Al-Qur'an by Ibn Khuwayz Mandadh. The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has said that one who has been obeying Allah – that is, following the injunctions with regards to the Halal and Haram – has truly been remembering Allah, in spite of being deficient in (nafl: supererogatory) prayers and fasting, while one who has been disobeying divine commandments has, in fact, forgotten Allah, in spite of devoting long hours to nafl prayers, fasting and recitation of His praises.
The great Sufi Master Dhu al-Nun al-Misri has said that the man who remembers Allah in the full sense of the term forgets everything else, and that, in reward of such a total absorption, Allah Himself takes care of all his concerns, and grants him something far more valuable for everything he loses. Similarly, the blessed Companion Mu'adh (رضى الله تعالى عنه)has remarked that in so far as winning absolution from the divine wrath is concerned, no good deed on the part of man can compare with Dhikr. And in a hadith reported by the blessed Companion Abu Hurayrah (رضى الله تعالى عنه), Allah Himself says that so long as the servant keeps remembering Him and his lips keep moving in Dhikr, Allah is with him.
Listening to Quran
Listening to recitation is the perfume of the souls, the calmer of hearts, and the food of the spirit. Is is one of the most important psychological medicines. It is a source of pleasure, even to some animals – and pleasure in moderation purifies inner energy, enhances the functioning of the faculties, slows down senile decay by driving out its diseases, improves the complexion, and refreshes the entire body. Pleasure in excess, on the other hand, makes the illnesses of the body grow worse.
Abu Nu'aim states, in his Tib an-Nabbi, that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said that the benefits of listening to recitation are increased when it is understood – that is, when its meaning is understood. Allah Himself says:
…so give good news to My slaves, those who listen to the word and then follow the best of it…(Qur'an: 39.17-18)
Source: As-Suyuti's Medicine of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)
Prophet Isa (Jesus)
The Birth of 'Isa ( – Peace Be Upon Him)
The story of the birth of Isa (A.S.) as told in the Qur'an demonstrates again the power of Allah who can make happen whatever He wills. Just as Ibrahim (A.S.) and Sara (A.S.) wondered at being able to have a son at their great age, Isa's mother, Maryam (peace be upon her) also wondered at being able to have a son when no man had touched her.
Maryam was the daughter of Imran (A.S.). When her mother became pregnant with her, she dedicated her baby to Allah for His special service. Maryam grew up pure and beautiful in the special protection of Allah. Whenever her guardian, Zakariah (A.S.), would visit her in her room, he would find that she had been provided with plentiful food and he wondered at it. It was Allah who was caring for her.
When Maryam became a young woman she was visited by a messenger from Allah. He told her that she would bear a son named Isa (A.S.). He would speak to the people as a child and as an adult. Allah would teach him the Book and the Wisdom, and he would be a prophet to his people.
Maryam was amazed at this message. She was a well-behaved young, unmarried woman, so how could she have a baby? Allah's message was similar to that given to Ibrahim (A.S.). Allah creates whatever he wills. All he has to do is say, "Be," and it is.
When the time came for Maryam's baby to be born, she withdrew from her family because she knew they wouldn't understand. As the pains of birth began, she came to a palm tree and cried out in despair that she wished she were dead. A voice answered her, telling her not to grieve, and telling her to shake the palm tree to obtain dates. Allah also provided her with a small stream to ease her thirst and cool her face during the birth of her son, Isa .
When Isa (A.S.) had been born, Maryam returned home with him. When her family saw him they were shocked, as she knew they would be. But she merely pointed to the baby in explanation and he, the newborn infant, spoke, declaring that he was indeed a servant of Allah, a prophet, blessed by Allah, enjoined to do prayer and charity, and be kind to his mother, humble and not overbearing, and that he would eventually die and be raised to life again.
You can read about Maryam and the birth of Isa (A.S.) in the following suras of the Qur'an: 3:35-37, 3:42-49, 19:16-40.
Remain Busy with Quraan
Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: "Almighty Allah says; "If anybody finds no time for My remembrance and for begging favours of Me, because of his remaining busy with the Holy Qur'an, I shall give him more than what I give to all those who beg favours of Me. The superiority of the Word of Allah over all other words is like the superiority of Allah over the entire creation."
[Tirmidhi, Darimi, Bayhaqi]
In other words, compared to those who are begging favours of Allah, He will surely confer some better reward on a person who remains so occupied with committing the Qur'an to memory or learning and understanding it that he hardly gets time for du'a (prayer).
It is commonly known that when a man distributes sweets, or something else amongst others, a share is set aside for the person who cannot attend the function because of the task of distribution given to him by the distributor himself.
In another hadith, in the same context, it is mentioned that Allah would give such a person a better reward than what He would give to His ever grateful servants.

Tafsir of Surah Ikhlas
Allah, The One, The Unique: A Tafsir of Surat 'l Ikhlas delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 25th May 2012 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester, United Kingdom.
This small chapter speaks about the oneness of Allah and monotheism. It emphasises the importance of making religion sincere and exclusive for Allah in all deeds and actions. Its profound meanings and messages are the very foundation of faith and the Qur'an.
Prophet Ismail and his Mother
When Ismail (alayhis salam) was still a small baby, his father Ibrahim (alayhis salam) took him and his mother, Hajra, to the site of the Ka'ba. He gave them some dates and a goat skin full of water and left them there. At that time no one lived at the Ka'ba, and there was no water nearby. As Ibrahim (alayhis salam) was walking away, Ismail's (alayhis salam) mother followed him, asking why she and her son were being left in such a desolate place. She asked several times but he would not answer her. Finally, she asked if Allah had ordered him to do this and he replied that it was so. Upon hearing this, she accepted Allah's will and returned to the site where Ibrahim (alayhis salam) had left her.
As soon as Ibrahim (alayhis salam) was out of sight, he turned and prayed to Allah to protect and provide for his family which he had left out in the wilderness:
"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; In order, O our Lord that they may establish regular prayer; So fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits; So that they may give thanks." (al-Qur'an 14:37)
Ismail (alayhis salam) and his mother lived for some time on the supply of water and dates, but finally the water began to give out, and Ismail's (alayhis salam) mother could no longer produce sufficient milk to nurse her baby. The baby became agitated and near to death because of his thirst. The mother could not bear to see her child suffering, so she ran to the top of nearby Mt. Safa to see if she could find someone to help her. When she could see no one, she ran down the mountain and across the valley to Mt. Marwa. Seven times she ran from one mountain to the other, looking in vain for assistance. After the seventh time she heard a voice and she called out to it for help. When she looked she saw an angel digging the earth with his heel until water flowed forth. That place was the site of Zam-zam. She carefully made a depression around the place where the water was flowing, and filled her waterbag with her hands. Then she was able to drink water and nurse her baby. The angel told her not to be afraid, that she and her son would be provided for.
Ismail (alayhis salam) and his mother continued to live at the Ka'ba all by themselves for some time. One day some people of the Jurhum tribe were passing through the valley. They didn't intend to stop, because they knew that there had never been any water in that valley. But they saw a kind of bird which was known to frequent wet spots, so they followed it to the spring of Zam-zam. There they found Ismail's mother sitting by the water.
Ismail's (alayhis salam) mother was a very sociable person who loved the company of others, so she readily agreed to their request to stop there for a while, provided that they did not claim possession of the water. Some of the people of Jurhum decided to settle permanently by Zam-zam and sent for their families. Ismail (alayhis salam) grew up with these people and learned to speak Arabic from them. When he grew up, they urged him to marry one of their women.
You can read about Ismail and his mother in Sahih al-Bukhari IV:582-584.
How the Qur'an was Compiled
I wanted to know was the entire Qur'an compiled before the Prophet's death or after by the khalifas. What I mean by compiled is the ordering of the surahs. Before the Prophet's death (Allah bless him & give him peace), did the sahabas know that the #1 surah is fatiha and #2 is suratul baqara and so forth? Or was this order established by the khalifas like during Uthman (Allah be pleased with him) time?
Assalamu alaykum
In the name of Allah the inspirer of truth
The order of the verses in each chapter of the Qur'an was divinely inspired, even though they were revealed portion by portion as the need arose over a 23 year period.
The Messenger of Allah (upon him be peace) would instruct the scribes to place each verse in its proper place as they were revealed.
It is related by Imam Ahmad and the authors of the Sunans on the authority of Uthman radhiyallahu anhu, "When a chapter was revealed of the Qur'an that had a number of verses, the Messenger of Allah would call one of the scribes and say, "Place these verses in the chapter which states such and such…" Hence, from this and other narrations it is understood that not only was the arrangement of the verses divinely inspired, so were the chapters according to many scholars. (Fath al-Bari, Bab ta'lif al-Qur'an).
Although there is agreement concerning the arrangement of the verses being divinely inspired, there is a difference of opinion concerning the order of the chapters. The stronger opinion seems to be that the arrangement of many chapters was also divinely inspired, although some chapters were placed through the ijtihad [inference] of the Companions. For instance, it is reported that the Companions placed Surat al-Tawba after Surat al-Anfal, through their own deliberation, as they did not have any information concerning this from the Messenger (upon him be peace).
A good English work on the sciences of the Qur'an is, Approach to the Qur'anic Sciences by Shaykh Mufti Taqi Uthmani. An abridged version of it is found in the beginning of the Ma`arif al-Qur'an [a Qur'anic tafsir in Urdu, which is available in English translation as well]. Well worth reading.

A Cure for Music
By MI. Muhammad Karolia
Rasulullah (s.a.w.) said: "He who does not read the Qur'aan in a melodious voice is not from us." (Bukhari Vol. 2 Pg 1123. Abu Da'ud Vol. 1 Pg 207)
To recite the Qu'raan in a melodious voice is mustahab and has been encouraged in many ahaadith. Thus Rasulullah (s.a.w.) said: "Adorn the Qur'aan with your voices." (Bukhari Vol. 2 Pg 1126)
The narration of Haakim's Mustadrak and Daarimi's Sunan have the following addition: "… because a beautiful voice increases the beauty of the Qur'aan."
Rasulullah (s.a.w.) said: "Allah does not listen as attentively to anything as He listens to a Nabi reciting the Qur'aan in a melodious voice." (Bukhari Vol. 2 Pg 1115)
Hadhrat Abu Moosa Ash'ari (r.a.) a famous Sahabi, used to recite the Qur'aan in a very beautiful tone. Rasulullah (s.a.w.) praised him saying that he had been blessed with "a flute from the flutes of Dawood." (Bukhari Vol. 2 Pg 755)
Note: The word 'mizmar' (flute) has not been used in its literal meaning. Hadhrat Dawood (a.s.) used to recite the Zabur in an extremely beautiful voice. Thus his voice has been described as a flute in the Hadith.
The question however is that the word used in the Hadith for 'reading in a melodious voice' is that of 'taghanni'. The literal translation of this word is 'to sing'. On the contrary we have been prohibited in the Hadith to sing and read the Qur'aan. Although it is understandable that the word 'taghanni' has been used figuratively, why has a simpler or more clearer word not been used?
A similar question was posed to the famous Muhaddith, Ibn al-Arabi (r.a.) to which he replied: "The Arabs used to sing when they mounted their camels, when they sat in their assemblies and in most of their conditions. Thus when the Qur'aan was revealed, Rasulullah (s.a.w.) desired that the Qur'aan should be their habit rather than singing." (Sharh-us-Sunnah Vol. 4 Pg 486)
In other words, the Arabs were so infatuated with singing that singing and music was found in basically every aspect of their lives. Thus when the Qur'aan was revealed, Rasulullah (s.a.w.) desired that their habit of singing be substituted by the recitation of the Qur'aan. This explanation may be substantiated by the following Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Zaid Ibn Arqam (r.a.): "While Nabi (s.a.w.) was walking through an alley in Medina, he passed a youth that was singing. Nabi (s.a.w.) said to him: 'Woe to you, O youth. Why do you not recite the Qur'aan in a melodious voice?" (Ahkaam-ul-Qur'aan of Mufti Muhammad Shafe).
Note: The word 'taghanni' has been used in this Hadith as well. Hafiz Ibn Hajr (r.a.) quotes from Ibn-Ambari that it means to take pleasure and delight just as the singers take pleasure in music. Thus the word music (taghanni) has been used because the same pleasure is experienced (i.e. when reciting the Qur'aan) as is experienced when listening to music. (Fath-ul-Bari Vol. 9 Pg 62)
It is for this reason that Hafiz Ibn Qayyim (r.a.) and Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmir (r.a.) have regarded excessive recitation of the Qur'aan as an excellent cure for music.
Hadhrat Shah Saheb explains: "When a man forms a habit of music it overpowers him until he is unable to refrain from it. That is why you will see the singer always humming to himself. Thus Nabi (s.a.w.) has taught him that the means for refraining from music is that he make the Qur'aan his hum and music until the Qur'aan overpowers him just as music had overpowered him." (Faiz-ul-Bari Vol. 4 Pg 269)
Let alone Muslims, even non-Muslims often marvel at the sweetness and beauty of the Qur'aan, its rhythm, choice of words etc. This sweetness is further enhanced by reciting the Qur'aan in a sweet voice as mentioned in the Hadith. In the light of the above, it may be concluded that excessive reading and listening to the Qur'aan is an excellent cure for the ailment of music.

(CNSNews.com) – Accusing Republicans of unfairly targeting federal employees in tax relief legislation, a Democrat lawmaker says many constituents are simply unaware of the "life-saving function" provided by their local "federal presence."
"Many people aren't aware of the fact that the federal presence and federal employees in their community is vital and performs a life-saving kind of function that is highly revered and valued," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said Wednesday. "And we need to get that narrative out there in every congressional district and in every state in the union to turn the tide in terms of this negative [Republican] narrative."
Connolly was taking part in a conference call along with Democratic Reps. Jim Moran (Va.) and Chris van Hollen (Md.) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), addressing the passage of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act.
The legislation, which passed in the House by a 234-193 vote Tuesday, cuts federal retirement benefits and freeze federal pay for more than a year.
Van Hollen said House Republicans could not bring themselves to ask the wealthiest Americans to pay for a payroll tax extension. Instead, he said, they chose to pick on other groups of Americans, for instance asking seniors to pay more in Medicare premiums.
"They came up with their version of the payroll tax cut which includes a lot of poison pills, and the president's made clear he will veto their bill," van Hollen continued. Their version of the bill was "essentially designed to fail."
The biggest cuts chosen by the GOP were those targeting federal employees, he said – $65 billion out of $200 billion in cuts to offset other parts of the bill.
"It is a part of their cynical ploy to make scapegoats out of federal employees."
Moran said, "the anti-government zealots on the Republican side have tried now throughout the year to find any way to punish the federal employees."
The existing pay freeze that federal workers are already subjected to cost $50 billion, he said, adding that federal employees had already contributed a major share towards deficit reduction.
"What is trying to be done is to put a wedge between private sector middle class and the public sector middle class, and we can't let that happen" Moran said.
Moran said the U.S. Senate would clear not accept the version passed in the House.
"But neither will the anti-government crowd give up on what they're trying to do to the federal workforce," he added.
Moran said the civil service workforce accounts for less than five percent of all federal spending. He cited the Bureau of Labor Statistics as having reported that federal employees are paid 26 percent less than their private sector counterparts holding similar jobs, and that the gap between federal and non-federal jobs has increased since the pay freeze.
Connolly told reporters that Democrats should not fall for what he suggested were false-choice traps being set by Republicans.
"We have no choice, they would argue, but to cut back on federal compensation for federal employees we just can't afford," he said. "That would be true if we had exhausted all other alternatives."
But far from exhausting all other options, Connolly said, the Republicans had eliminated them, thus forcing Democrats to look at one narrow and "unpalatable" choice.
"Wait a minute," he said. "Who says that's the only choice?"
Connolly argued that oil and gas subsidies, agricultural subsidies, and the elimination of the Bush tax cuts should be put on the table.
"There are lots of other options that can generate lots of revenue," he said. "It's just that the Republicans have by theology eliminated them from any kind of consideration, and that's just plain wrong."
The Democrats' conference call was organized by National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association.

Provide as many specifics as you can to help better answer your question. Please omit personal information in this area.
To whom it may concern,
First, thanks for taking the time to contact us with your question. This is a common question we receive each year. Anglers assume the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has jurisdiction over the boating boundaries (aka buoy line) because in most cases it functions to restrict fishing access on Lake Walcott since much of the boat traffic is made up of anglers.
However, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) does not have jurisdiction over boat access on the Minidoka Wildlife Refuge. That boundary is determined, maintained, and enforced by Minidoka Wildlife Refuge staff. In addition, the IDFG does not have any fishing rules restricting boat access in the current fishing rules.
It is our understanding the boundary is set based on set coordinates and there should not be any deliberate modification of the boundary. We have heard in years past that some buoys that mark the boundary get moved either by boaters or naturally during severe weather conditions. Modifications you've noticed may not have been deliberate and we're sure the Refuge Manager would appreciate knowing if something is wrong.
If you wish to contact the Minidoka Wildlife Refuge to learn more about the boundary, you can find their website online (http://www.fws.gov/refuge/minidoka) or contact them via telephone at (208) 436-3589. The current Refuge Manager is Jeffery Krueger.
A side note to consider is that the Minidoka Wildlife Refuge will be crafting a long-term management plan in the near future. There is a public process involved where the Refuge seeks public comments on current management and accepts feedback regarding changes you'd like them to consider. You can learn more by contacting the Refuge directly by phone and never underestimate the power of your opinions.
We hope this helps answer your question and we're glad you're taking advantage of the great fishing over the past few years. Please contact the Magic Valley Region Fishery Manager directly (208-324-4359) if you'd like to learn more about the fishery and IDFG's fishery mangement goals.

|Minimum Stay

You will simply love our place. It has three bedrooms with pillow-top king,queen and double beds, two bathrooms plus den/TV room. Located on the 'Quiet Side' of Mount Desert Island with panoramic views of Blue Hill Bay and surrounding Islands.
PERFECT for couples (very comfy KING bed, amazing water views, lovely private deck) and/or for families with 2 more bedrooms.... a wonderful retreat.
Very private, woodsy setting yet accessible to all the delights and wonders of ACADIA NATIONAL PARK. Fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops. Oak hardwood floors in all bedrooms. Fireplace with hand-painted Portuguese tiles. Nice basement space with Foosball table and washer/dryer.
Spacious decks (bring your yoga mat for sunrise/sunset practice) and screened porch. Bring your bikes, canoe, kayak: plenty of storage space available. Also wireless internet access of course.(broadband). Bring your laptop, iPad....or not....you could just disconnect and really relax.....!
DO YOU HAVE WATER ACCESS? No, we do not have waterfront property. Yet the ocean breezes and sounds of the gulls following the lobster boats in the cove can fool you. It is fair to say we have the most spectacular views of the water...better than our lower level neighbors.
IS IT QUIET? Yes, it is very quiet. Our land abuts an old Maine cemetery. Sometimes there are visitors or they mow the grass and you can hear these brief sounds in the distance.
CAN PETS OR CHILDREN PLAY OUTSIDE? We own 10 acres and are situated at the end of a long private driveway. It is quite safe for pets and kids to be outside.
HOW FAR ARE YOU FROM BAR HARBOR? We suggest that folks look at a Google map. But if you can't ...it is about a 25-35 minute drive.
This home offers you everything. Wonderful peace and quiet to meditate, read all those good books, make a fresh seafood meal and completely feel at ease. AND a great base for all the amazing outdoor activities available on Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.
You DO deserve a vacation.

We spent our honeymoon on MDI in 1978. Along with many treasured memories and places, we still discover brand new things to do and see and experience with each returning visit. What more is there to say? We really love it here and so will you.
Carol G Carson purchased this house in 2006
Mount Desert Island is a truly magical place!
Acadia National Park is truly a national treasure.
From Acadia National Park website: www.nps.gov/acad/
The First Eastern National Park
People have been drawn to the rugged coast of Maine throughout history. Awed by its beauty and diversity, early 20th-century visionaries donated the land that became Acadia National Park. The park is home to many plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Today visitors come to Acadia to hike granite peaks, bike historic carriage roads, or relax and enjoy the scenery.
We had a wonderful time...walked in the woods in shirt sleeves, walked in the snow...truly a Maine spring! Thank you for your welcoming home. We saw our son at U of Maine, relaxed,
did some work (in lovely surroundings) and got hooked on Maine just a little more.
One day we too may be permanent residents. Our poodle certainly is happy here!
We just returned from L 'Acadie with such beautiful memories. Our purpose was to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday so I wanted something that was out of the ordinary. We certainly found it at L'Acadie. We traveled with another couple and I was given the privilege of making all the arrangements. I knew from the reviews and the pictures that we wouldn't be disappointed but to see 65 plus year olds get excited about our location and accommodations was a treat in itself. The first evening we had the lunar eclipse and was able to experience that on the upper deck...what a site and start to a perfect week. We did have a lot of rain one day but even that was a good thing as it made us slow down just a bit and enjoy the quietness of the area. There was a great grocery store in South West Harbor, only a few minutes from L 'Acadie for the few things we needed. We had such a great time at a local restaurant too....if you get the chance, stop at Sipps in Southwest Harbor. Another highlight,on a rainy day was Oceanarium, north of Bar Harbor. Be sure to have popovers at Jordon Pond and Lobster stew...and don't forget Lobster at Thurston's about 5 minutes from L'Acadie...We all cannot wait to go back someday.
We loved our stay at L'Acadie this August. We were on MDI at the height of tourist season this year, and staying on the quiet side in the secluded L'Acadie cottage was perfect! We were within easy reach of all of the wonderful things Acadia has to offer, but also got the peace and quiet of this home. Everything here was very nice, but also so homey and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils/pots/pans that we needed to cook. The living space was open and filled with light, but we were often drawn upstairs to the upstairs deck and master bedroom. What an amazing view!!! All in all, the house was clean, comfortable, well stocked, peaceful… and we could go on and on. This was our first trip to MDI, we hope there will be many more, and we hope L'Acadie is available.
Everything was so absolutely perfect all week long. And the weather was great!
We settled in and felt at home immediately. It was restful and exciting at the same time. Each day we'd wake early in the beautiful master bedroom, (sunrise is so early so far east!) and plan where we would hike that day. And off we'd go to Acadia and Bar Harbor for the better part of each day, only to return with delicious lobster rolls and catch the sunset on the deck. We brought our dog Chulie with us and felt so comfortable having her there with us. And she was exhausted from all the adventures. The fireplace was so great for the one rainy evening we had. Such a treat to be there for a week; it was hard to leave. Beautiful place, comfortable in every way. Spacious and cozy, warm and airy. I can't wait to go back and see what a different season feels like at L'Acadie Cottage. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
We love this cabin, and October on the island. We stayed at L'Acadie Cottage in 2009, and this time we were back with our daughter and her family to introduce our 3YO granddaughter to Maine tide pools, lobsters, rocks, hikes, and all the wonderful things about Maine. The cottage, which had been wonderful when just the two of us stayed there, was even more wonderful with all of us staying. The kitchen was perfect for family dinners in the evening, and we really enjoyed the fireplace in the evening. I couldn't recommend this wonderful cottage more -- it's perfect!
We spent a week here in June, with our 5 year old golden retriever and 24 year old son. The location is private but not isolated, the house is immaculately clean and the grounds are beautifully maintained. No detail was overlooked in supplies or toiletries and we felt welcomed. Enjoyed everything about it - the bedrooms, the views, the kitchen, the living room. Thank you for your caring.
The views from this West Tremont vacation home are spectacular. What a wonderful place to return to after a fun day of hiking and biking through Acadia National Park. Watching a beautiful sunset from the deck off of the master bedroom is a perfect way to end the day. The owners have thoughtfully appointed the house. The fireplace and well curated reads on the guest bookshelf make this a comfortable vacation home at anytime of year. Looking forward to my next visit!
Ferry boat rides to surrounding islands (Cranberry Isles, Swan's Island).
The National Park Service has wonderful excursions too!

John Hofmeister: Is Big Oil Part of Our Energy Problem, or the Solution? (10/16/2008)
Big Energy is feeling the heat as skyrocketing oil costs and climate-change buzz fuel criticism from consumers and the media. But recently retired Shell chief Hofmeister will give a major speech addressing how the goals of consumers, the environmental movement and energy companies are actually closely aligned. He has just founded the not-for-profit nationwide membership association Citizens for Affordable Energy. This public-policy advocacy firm aims to promote sound U.S. energy security solutions for the nation, including a range of affordable energy supplies, efficiency improvements, essential infrastructure, sustainable environmental policy and public education on energy issues. Don't miss this groundbreaking event.
This program was recorded in front of a live audience on October 16, 2008.
