"To hell with the law! We shall circumcise the girls", ELDERS in Bukwo and Kapchorwa districts --Uganda
- Comments (14)
- Recommended (3)
- View profile
ELDERS in Bukwo and Kapchorwa districts are preparing to circumcise over 200 girls next month despite a new law banning the practice. They swear that the whole tribe would rather go to prison than abolish a custom they inherited from their ancestors.
The practice, commonly referred to as female circumcision, is mostly practiced among the Sabiny, who occupy Bukwo and Kapchorwa districts on the northern slopes of Mt Elgon. The United Nations categorises it as female genital mutilation (FGM) because it damages a woman's sexuality and leads to various complications. FGM refers to the removal of the external female genitalia.
Accordingly, last December Parliament passed a law banning female circumcision. President Yoweri Museveni signed it into law on March 17, 2010 and it took effect on April 9, 2010.
The law argues that FGM infringes on the rights of the woman and also leads to health hazards, including excessive bleeding, death, birth complications and exposure to illnesses. The law criminalises the practice, calls for prosecution of offenders and protection of victims. Anyone caught doing it faces 10 years in jail or life imprisonment if the victim dies.
But the Sabiny are unfazed by this law. The vice-chairman of Bukwo district, John Chelangat, says over 200 girls are being prepared for the practice beginning on December 1 and neither he nor other political leaders are able to stop it. The men like it because circumcised women are less interested in sex and are, therefore, less likely to have extramarital affairs. The girls do not want to be considered outcasts, so they go for the knife.
"This is a very sensitive period and no politician will talk about abolishing FGM because we shall lose votes. Myself, I will not talk about FGM because I know this will land me into the political dustbin," says Chelangat.
Consequently, as the December 1, 2010 circumcision nears, preparations to grace the ritual are in high gear in Sebei region.
In Bukwo district, the residents had a bumper harvest of maize, sorghum and millet that is being used for making local brew (Malwa) to entertain the revelers and also aid in performing sacred rituals, only known to the Sabiny people.
Kokop Chebet, 70, a mentor from Matibeyi village in Suam sub-county-Bukwo, says she has received applications from over 20 girls wishing to be prepared for the ritual.
"They came to me in January and I have been training them on how to go through the ritual. They told me they want to become women like others because they are tired of being scolded by the community that still calls them girls because they are not cut," she adds.
Alice Kokop, 65, another mentor from Suam says she has also received about 15 applications from girls in Kabei sub-county wishing to be cut.
Other girls are to come from Chesower and Bukwo Town Council sub-counties. "I have already taken them through a series of trainings and they are about to be ready. We shall cut the first group in the first week of December," Kokop explains.
Asked about the law prohibiting FGM, the two said a law cannot stop the cultural rite of the Sabiny people unless the community agrees with it.
Twenty-year-old Ana Chebet is a resident of Matibeyi village in Suam. Married with three children, Chebet has always been scolded by the community for not undergoing circumcision that passes her from childhood to adulthood.
"I cannot milk a cow or climb into the family granary. Whenever I go to the well, other women throw scorn at me because I am not cut," adds Chebet, who will be one of the candidates this December.
She says mentors trained her how to dance when preparing for the ritual, the kind of food to eat, including posho, beans, honey and fermented milk to replace lost energy and blood.
Alice Chemutai, 17, another resident of Matibeyi, was convinced by her aunt to undergo female circumcision. But because she is educated she refused and her father supported her.
She recites an endless list of young girls who have dropped out of school to get married after the ritual and those who have had birth complications, bleeding and infections after.
"I will never get circumcised because this will not only infringe on my rights of womanhood but will also expose me to long-term health hazards. I am happy my father and mother support me against other relatives," adds Chemutai, a Senior Three student at Amananga High School in Suam.
According to the law, a person commits aggravated FGM in situations where death occurs or where the victim is disabled or is infected with HIV/AIDS.
A person also commits aggravated FGM where the offender is a parent, guardian or person having control over the victim or where the act is done by a health worker.
The law punishes a person who commits aggravated FGM with life imprisonment.
A person who carries out FGM shall be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 10 years. People who participate or aid FGM shall be jailed.
The Sabiny people claim they do not fear the law and they are ready to die for FGM. "This law was not initiated or brought by the people of Sebei. It was brought by the people who do not understand why we carry out circumcision," adds Alice Kokop.
According to Sabiny customs and traditions, female circumcision has been around for over 2,000 years and it is carried out to convert a female from childhood to adulthood. Females who are not circumcised are not called women and they are not supposed to carry out certain home activities like milking a cow, climbing into a family granary and talking with the elders.
Lack of funds for sensitisation keeps the ritual alive
BUKWO district vice-chairman John Chelangat says so many girls in Bukwo district are ready for the ritual partly because they have not been sensitised.
"Some people think the law does not exist and others believe the law was made for people who refuse to be mutilated rather than those that accept willingly," he adds.
Last year, the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) promised to release about sh50m for sensitisation but up to now the anti-FGM campaigners are still waiting for the money.
Brenda Malinga of UNFPA admits they have not sent the funds to the districts because they are also funding about three bodies that are helping to get the law to work.
She says they are funding Reproductive Education and Community Health (REACH), an NGO fighting to eradicate FGM in Uganda to carry out community dialogue.
She promised UNFPA will disburse money to the districts for sensitisation in November.
But according to Beatrice Chelangat, the director of REACH, this is too late because FGM season starts in December.
Bugiri district has made strides. Wallace Foundation gave over sh100m to REACH and they have used the money to sensitise people.
Police vows stop the rituals
THE Police in the region have warned the community against FGM and vowed to arrest anybody involved, including the candidates, relatives or bystanders.
The Bukwo district Police commander, Michael Ongona, says he has already sent four officers to each of Bukwo's 10 sub-counties to sensitise the people and also investigate FGM cases.
"We shall arrest the culprits. We are also having community dialogue and we believe we shall manage to kick FGM out of this region."
Moses Chemonges, a lawyer based in Mbale, who hails from Bukwo, says the law requires everyone to report the cases. "If anybody hides the information or is seen to be turning a blind eye to any FGM activity, that person is supposed to be charged for obstruction of justice," he explains.
Chemonges, however, doubted whether the Police or local leaders have the capacity to arrest the culprits. "The Police are understaffed and some of them are sons of the soil, who believe in the practice," he adds.
He says the circumcisers and mentors have not been compensated. "There was a programme to compensate them because they derive income from the girls whom they prepare and then circumcise. "If these people are not compensated, there will be no motivation for stopping FGM."
Sex is painful after FGM, says victim
Beyond the cut, a book by the NGO FEMRITE, documents the suffering of women who have undergone female circumcision.
Yemo of Bukwo wonders if women ever enjoy sex. For her it is always a painful experience. The most sensitive part of her private parts, which would enable her enjoy sex, was cut off during female circumcision. "I still bleed every time my husband and I meet. No matter how many times we have done it, no matter what we do, it never ceases to hurt," says Yemo.
Judith was circucised in 1976. Since then, she has never had peace in her life.
"I was circucisized along with a cousin and a friend in 1976. The two died due to over-bleeding and related infections. I failed to walk and became permanently crippled."
Judith says she has also lived a very difficult and expensive life because she has to cover the medical costs to treat the bleeding she often gets.
She fears she may die any time. She prays that FGM is abolished because it is a danger to women.
Key facts about FGM
Possible effects
• Excessive bleeding
• Septic wounds
• Bladder and urinary tract infections
• Infertility
• Painful sex
• Tetanus
• Childbirth complications
• Difficult urination
About 100 to 140 million girls and women worldwide are living with the consequences of FGM.
It is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15 years.
In Africa, about 92 million girls from 10 years of age and above have undergone FGM.
FGM is internationally condemned as a violation of the rights of girls and women.
It is practiced in over 20 countries of Africa, including Benin, Chad and Guinea.

well done sister
''Every woman have a story at every stage of Life''
Laws are meaningless....
.... without the education to accompany them. Unless and until the people - the women in particular - are enlightened to the human tragedy and the torture of this procedure the laws will change nothing. We believe in and fight for our cultural preferences until we realize they serve no purpose that is good under heaven.
Circumcision - male or female - is a cultural practice that underscores our concept of 'purity' that has nothing to do with reason and right, and everything to do with shame and control over our bodies. Until we understand our bodies are beautiful and perfect JUST AS THEY ARE.....no law will make us think differently.
Thank you for your excellent article about this important, tragic topic.
Women of the world, unite in LOVE of ourselves, our bodies, our right to be whole and unscathed in the name of 'beauty'.
Men of the world, unite to cherish women as they are created and appreciate us for all our passions and beauties and gifts.
Women correspondents of WP..... continue to sing your truth in love and compassion. You will change the world.
Hello Achieng,
Hello Achieng,
This is a master piece.It`s a beautiful and didactic one.

Alternative text (the alt attribute) is missing for several images. Add alternative text so that search engines can better understand the content of your images.
Remember that search engine crawlers cannot actually "see" images, so the alternative text attribute allows you to assign a specific description to each image.
Alternative text describes your images so they can appear in Google™ Images search results.
Check the images on your website and make sure effective alternative text is specified for each image.
Restrict the number of characters in alt text to 150, including spaces, and minimize the size of images to optimize your website's page load times.
Text/HTML Ratio
This page's ratio of text to HTML code is below 15 percent, this means that your website probably needs more text content.
A ratio between 25 and 70 percent is ideal. When it goes beyond that, the page might run the risk of being considered spam.
As long as the content is relevant and gives essential information, it is a plus to have more of it.

WWW Resolve
This website with and without www redirects to the same page.
Great, your website directs www.usedbooksearch.co.uk and usedbooksearch.co.uk to the same URL.
Redirecting requests from a non-preferred domain is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.
Great, your website has a robots.txt file.
A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.
Click here to check your robots.txt file for syntax errors.
XML Sitemap
Great, your website has an XML sitemap.
A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.
Underscores in the URLs
While Google™ treats hyphens (these-are-hyphens) as word separators, it does not treat underscores as word separators.
Good, no Flash content has been detected on this page.
Flash should only be used for specific enhancements. Although Flash content often looks nicer, it cannot be properly indexed by search engines. Avoid full Flash websites to maximize SEO.
This advice also applies to AJAX.
Great, there are no frames detected on this page.
Frames can cause problems on your web page because search engines will not crawl or index the content within them.
Avoid frames whenever possible and use a NoFrames tag if you must use them.

Length: 14 character(s)
Keep your URLs short and avoid long domain names when possible.
A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).
Keep in mind that URLs are also an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy. Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.
Resource: Search for a good domain name. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain. To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.
Great, your website has a favicon. Make sure this favicon is consistent with your brand.
Resource: Check out this amazing idea for improving the user experience with a special favicon.

Tips for multilingual websites:
- Define the language of the content in each page's HTML code.
- Specify the language code in the URL as well (e.g., "mywebsite.com/fr/mycontent.html").

This is a special CSS style sheet which ensures that unnecessary interface designs and images are left out when printing pages from your site, saving the user a lot of ink.

Vail House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 3 full Bathrooms duplex home (Sleeps 7), fireplace, deck, patio
Our light and sunny multi-level, mountain-design home with stunning views is a duplex well-suited for a great vacation with family and friends. Recent upgrades, tastefully decorated and well-appointed, our home provides a unique combination of comfort, location, and peacefulness. The spacious top level living, dining, and kitchen great room is a light-filled gathering space with soaring 12' ceilings filled with natural light from huge greenhouse windows and window-filled walls. The full-sized, well-stocked kitchen with granite and stainless counters, breakfast bar, the oversized rustic pine table seating 8, wood-burning fireplace, generous-sized bedrooms with their own full baths, heated garage, original art, free wi-fi, and full-sized washer dryer, provide all that you need. A sparkling clean, spacious, and private home in a quiet neighborhood -- a mountain home for that special vacation.
Relax in the summer on the private flagstone patio on adirondack chairs surrounded by flowers and aspens; and grill and eat on the kitchen deck with views across the valley.
For the comfort of all guests, this is a NON-SMOKING & NO-PET home. We invite you to stay in comfort and style and experience the world-class skiing in the winter, and music and dance festivals, sporting events, farmer's markets, and hiking in the summer.
Living/dining/bedroom areas: The oversized rustic pine table in the dining area comfortably seats 8 and doubles as a work space for your computer or games. The 2-seated breakfast bar at the granite counter work as a big workspace and as a hang out for the kitchen. In front of the wood-burning fireplace are leather sofas and chair with pillows, blankets, and lamps for reading, watching tv, playing games, resting, or enjoying family and friends.
Sleeping 7, each of the 3 bedrooms has its own full bath, full-sized closet and dresser. The spacious Master Bedroom has a custom log queen bed, dressing area, and a double vanity in the bath; the cozy Bunk Room has a double-sized lower bed & single-size upper bunk; and the roomy, second Master Bedroom has a queen bed and the privacy of its own floor. A full-sized washer and dryer are available for your use. There is a hi-definition, flat screen tv in each of the two master bedrooms.
The heated garage and entry foyer provide ample space for skiis and boots - much appreciated in the the winter.
Location: Conveniently located close to the Cascade resort and its top-rated health club/spa (2-3 minute drive,10-12 minute walk, down the hill), fine dining, town park with playground, the path along Gore Creek into Lionshead and central Vail, in a quiet neighborhood, our home offers privacy in a wonderful location. A free, 3-5 minute shuttle bus ride into Lionshead and central Vail (about a mile away), is available from the Cascade resort. Our guests can enjoy discounted rates at the Aria Club/Spa at the Cascade Resort. With free parking at the house for 2-3 cars, having a car provides the maximum amount of flexibility and accessibility to the valley's amenities.
Vail is a year-round destination for relaxation and fun, best known originally for its world-class skiing. But, as many have found, there's nothing like summer and fall in the mountains -- sunny, warm days for outdoor activities and cool nights for sleeping. Vail locals say "…winter is why we came – but summer is why we stayed!"
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Owners - Jan and Allen Gerstenberger
Skiing and an active outdoor lifestyle drew us both to the Vail area in the 70's where we met, and then married and built the home in the early 80's. Both our daughters have grown up with 'The Vail House' as their base for learning to ski, board, camp, hike and love life. Some of our favorite family times have been at the Vail House: our base for backpacking, hiking, biking, skiing, snowshoeing; playing games in front of the crackling fire; having Thanksgiving with friends; relaxing on the patio beneath aspens, and savoring the warm days and cool nights of summer. We also enjoy exploring the world through our travels.
Owners - Jan and Allen Gerstenberger purchased this house in 1982
Why Owners - Jan and Allen Gerstenberger chose Vail
Only a mile from town with the peacefulness of a private neighborhood makes our location ideal. The beauty of the Rocky Mountains, the friendly community of Vail, the extensive cultural events, and the active lifestyle of the residents and guests make this one of the most enjoyable and stimulating settings imaginable. A full service community with a small, personal feeling.
What makes this house unique
Views, vistas, and peacefulness. Our home has a stunning site that borders US Forest Service property on the mountain side, and expansive window walls bring in the views and light. It is a unique combination of a private mountain setting with easy access to a wide range of resort and community facilities. A home, not just a rental property, which we invite you to enjoy for yourselves.

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad
We've been a little obsessed with Buffalo Ranch anything lately. I wish I was joking when I tell you that I made 8 things last week that consisted of Buffalo Ranch something or other.
We can't get enough!
Buffalo Ranch Stuffed Peppers? You've got to try them!
Grain Free Chicken Dippers with Buffalo Ranch Sauce? So so good!
I hope you like Buffalo Ranch flavors, too, because I've got a few more buffalo ranch recipes up my sleeve that I'm so excited to share.
But we totally can't get enough of this Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad! I've been doubling or tripling this recipe on Sunday night and then we eat it all throughout the week for a quick, nutrient dense lunch.
It's great on top of a salad. You can stuff it in an avocado. You can eat it with celery sticks. You can even put it in a nice juicy tomato like THIS.
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad Recipe
- 1½ cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (about 2 breasts or 1 pound of uncooked chicken)
- 1 green onion, chopped, both white and green parts
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon each: onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, dried chives, sea salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (see my easy 30 second homemade recipe HERE) or you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I use THIS)
- optional: 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Refrigerate, serve and enjoy!
- *The flavor is best when left in the fridge for a few hours, but you can certainly eat it right away, too :)
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad Serving Ideas:
*over lettuce
*in an avocado
*in a tomato
*with celery sticks
*top with fresh herbs like chives, extra green onion or cilantro

I need some food on the run this week, so I made this. I made a double batch, and now I'm wishing I had made even more!! This stuff is fantastic! Thank you!
Yum!! I am eating this at my desk as I type. I made this last night and used greek yogurt instead of the mayo. Once the chicken breast were boiled, I threw them (not literally) into my food processor, which makes it so simple to chop it up fast. I put it on a bunch of lettuce and added some avocado and feta and it's perfect! I'm glad I found this!
Would a basic olive oil & apple cider vinegar dressing work well for those of us with milk and egg allergies?

Mainly cloudy with some rain on Thursday and Friday, especially Angus, turning heavier Friday night and Saturday morning, fresh southeast winds. Then dry for the rest of the weekend.
Updated at: 0351 on Wed 26 Nov 2014
UK forecast for the next 5 days
Dull and damp for many, but brighter in the northwest.
Many places dull and damp with extensive low cloud, mist and hill fog, as well as outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Northwest Scotland and much of Northern Ireland will be largely dry with some sunshine, though some fog patches too.
Remaining cloudy and damp for most, with some heavier rain in parts of central southern England in the evening probably moving north across the Midlands through the early hours.
Outbreaks of rain continuing northwards across northern England during the morning and then southern Scotland. Elsewhere, largely cloudy but becoming mainly dry. Light winds picking up in the west later.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Remaining largely cloudy but dry. Breezy on Friday, making it feel quite chilly, but winds easing for the weekend. Southern parts probably in with the best chance of brighter spells.
Updated at: 0255 on Wed 26 Nov 2014
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Monday 1 Dec 2014 to Wednesday 10 Dec 2014:
Outbreaks of rain in the northwest will gradually move southeastwards through Monday and Tuesday, weakening as it does so. Largely cloudy ahead of this rain, with clear and colder conditions following from the northwest. Thereafter, pressure will build from the west bringing a period of largely settled weather with variable cloud and some sunny spells. Risk of frost and fog patches forming by night where skies remain clear. However, northwestern parts will be windy at times with occasional rain or showers, these perhaps wintry over the hills. Temperatures often below average and rather cold at times, especially where fog lingers. The week after next is likely to turn more unsettled and milder in the northwest. These conditions may well spread to more southern and eastern parts of the country later.
UK Outlook for Thursday 11 Dec 2014 to Thursday 25 Dec 2014:
There is no strong signal in weather patterns during this period. However, the most likely scenario is a trend towards more unsettled and, at times, windy weather, especially in western parts of the UK, with eastern parts seeing the best of any dry weather. Temperatures are generally expected to be around, or a little above, average for the time of year. There is a chance of some overnight and morning frost and fog in places. There is also a chance of some snow on higher ground in the north.

I made a left turn during the wrong hrs and got a ticket for disobeying a traffic sign. It was pitch black and pouring rain, and I didn't see the sign. I want to pay a fine and avoid points. I need an answer and offer asap.
NYC bar association may be able to refer you to a list of attorneys that could help
There is no plea bargaining in NYC Traffic Court so it's either plead guilty or go to trial. Use the Find A Lawyer tab on Avvo to look for a Traffic Court lawyer.
I would suggest that you do a Google search with search terms such as " new york traffic violation bureau attorney" . This answer assumes you received the ticket in NYC and it is returnable in front of the TVB.
This is specifically what I do. You cannot pay a fine and not get the points. You must plead not guilty and fight it. If successful, no points, no fine. If unsuccessful, points and fine. An attorney can increase your chances of being in the former category of being successful
Contact a local attorney of a free consultation or call the clerks office on how to take care of fine.
There is no plea bargaining in NYC , so you will have a hearing and there the ALJ will decide whether you are guilty or not. Fortunate for you I think you have a beatable ticket. Consult a lawyer

Shanling MC3000 review
Fierce competition for the one-box hi-fi market from Shanling
By Richard Black from TechRadar Issue 319
TechRadar's verdict
"A welcome newcomer to the scene, offering a slightly different take on the all-in-one genre from both sonic and practical viewpoints. Self-sufficient, but also upgradeable, it should serve both well and long."
- An appealing combination of melodious sound – with confident underpinning when required
- Smart looks and thoughtful features
- Attractive price
- Not the last word in detail
- Slight emphasis on the midrange will not please all tastes, nor ensure the widest speaker compatibility.

Thick smoke plagued a large part of North Jasper and Newton Counties on Wednesday.
The smoke, which resulted from controlled burns reportedly, set by the U.S. Forest Service on the nearby Angelina National Forest, was pushed through the area by winds out of the northwest.
The practice is expected to continue over the next few days. However, the wind is expected to turn to the east and then to the southeast on Thursday.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Riley concerto, but Cameron Carpenter could play whatever's the music equivalent of reading the phone book and it would be worth hearing (and watching). It's rare that such an obvious showman is also possessed of genuine talent and artistry. I'd never seen him perform before and was blown away.
"Naive and Sentimental Music" has been one of my favorite pieces since it was performed years ago by the Phil, and tonight's performance captivated me every bit as much as the piece did the first time. This was one of the best concerts I've been to in a long time.

Last name origin & meaning:
English and Dutch: occupational name for a washerman or launderer,
Old French, Middle Dutch lavendier (Late Latin
lavandarius, an agent derivative of lavanda 'washing',
'things to be washed'). The term was applied especially to a worker in
the wool industry who washed the raw wool or rinsed the cloth after
fulling. There is no evidence for any direct connection with the word
for the plant (Middle English, Old French lavendre). However,
the etymology of the plant name is obscure; it may have been named in
ancient times with reference to the use of lavender oil for cleaning
or of the dried heads of lavender in perfuming freshly washed clothes.

Come to Mawadda Cafe for a deal and a dream
In Seattle's Hillman City, Mawadda Cafe owner Rami Al-Jebori greets patrons with a genuinely warm welcome and an array of dishes that range from satisfying to sensational.
Seattle Times A&E editor
Mawadda CafeMiddle Eastern and Mediterranean
4433 S. Graham St., Seattle
Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily during summer; winter hours may vary.
Etc: All major credit cards; no obstacles to access; parking in lot; no alcohol.
Prices: $$
Mawadda Cafe serves up big platters of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food with a side of the American dream.
The dreamer is owner Rami Al- Jebori, who studied to be a chef in New York City and worked in the food industry for years before buying a dilapidated sandwich shop on South Graham Street a few years ago.
"For a year and a half, I worked 14 hours a day, open to close, just by myself," he says. "Every penny I made I put back in the place." He upgraded the kitchen, put in new tile, painted the walls cinnamon and mocha, and bought new furniture. Now he has three employees and nurtures a hope of one day opening a fine-dining restaurant.
In the meantime, he greets patrons with a genuinely warm welcome and an array of dishes that range from merely satisfying to superb.
The menu: Gyros, falafel, kabobs and shawarma are among the expected offerings on this mostly Middle Eastern menu. But there are a few surprising Italian imports as well, including chicken Parmesan and spaghetti with meatballs. Every dish at Mawadda is prepared in accordance with halal dietary laws, as prescribed by Islam, and they're all made fresh to order. That means service isn't the fastest in town. But Al-Jebori encourages you to call and order ahead, so your food is ready to eat or take out when you arrive.
What to write home about: Creamy, extra-garlicky tzatziki is served alongside nearly every Middle Eastern entree on the menu — it's divine. So is the hot, hot chai that grows more flavorful as it cools.
The setting: Bright, clean, cozy, with seating for about 20: Mawadda is one of the more outwardly appealing little storefronts in Hillman City.
Summing up: My family of four started with an appetizer of sambosa ($5.99) — a tasty triangular pastry filled with meat and served with that heavenly tzatziki — and then split a variety of dishes to sample a full range. The grilled lamb shawarma ($10.99) was mildly seasoned and moist, and served with saffron rice. (Like it spicy? Order it extra hot.) Falafel salad ($8.99) came with four big falafel balls of an almost crumbly texture, with hummus, garlic sauce and tzatziki on the side. Chewy, delicious spanakopita, stuffed grape leaves and hummus were partnered for a vegetarian combo ($9.99). On the side we ordered an additional yummy gyro ($5.99); forgettable Greek fries ($2.99) and extra pita (1.99) — because the entrees, while large, were skimpy on the bread. One chai ($2) brought the bill to $48.93 plus tax — a dream of a deal.

Email to email@example.com:
Experience and common sense tells me that what people can "get away" with saying usually has something of greater punch and teeth lying in their hearts.
I am in no way inferring that you have beers with David Duke, but listening to your show and reading your "letters" would give me credence to lay a fairly large sized bet with Vegas that you would prefer your Canada all white, god-fearing, Queen-ass kissing, etc. At least afford me the respect that I am not too far off in that remark.
I honestly don't care what kind of country you wish Canada to be–filled with Stephen Harpers, Mike Harrisites, etc.
Seriously. I don't care. If you want to "your" country to live in some halcyon days of Ward Cleaver meets John Wayne meets John Birch Society…go for it! Use all your resources of radio and print to let that message of insularity, fear, myopia, xeroxed whiteness packaged in outrage and disgust fly as free as you think this country is not.
Adler, I am waaaay more Canadian than you. I played compettive hockey from the age of 7 until 42. I saw Max Webster and April Wine in the 70's. I own every single Tragically Hip album. I drink Canadian beer. I saw Team Canada play hockey in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino. Shall I go on in checking off the Canadiana checklist for you?
Do I worship the Queen. Hell no. Do I worship Jesus Christ? Jesus who? Am I over 75? heh…?
You choose your questions for defining Canadian and I will choose mine.
Keep those wondefully clever invectives veiled in free speech and us vs. "them" coming…I don't have XM Radio..and such, can't access comedy as freely as I would like to:)
Sunil Singh<—what kind of Kanadian name is that?????
P.S Never play checkers when the real game being played is chess…
Mr Singh, I want to thank you for sending me this note. Your PS BS is what motivates me. You fancy yourself to be a chess player, I gather. I have a soft spot in my heart for chess. As you may know from listening to the show, while watching the Ward Cleavers was part of my childhood experience, I was not unclear about the fact that my dad hadn't lived Ward's life. There was no episode of Leave it to Beaver where Ward is held in a Siberian forced labour camp for 3 years, watching men around him being executed or so depressed that they wish to be executed, and surviving by keeping his mind alive with his faith in God, his deep seemingly irrational desire to be reunited with his family, and his opportunity to play Chess. The rudimentary chess board and the rudimentary chess pieces helped to prevent his mind and soul from hitting the wall of atrophy. Atrophy isn't a checkers term, Mr Singh. It's much more of a chess player's term. The tailor's son is fully bilingual, Mr Singh. Ask any talent headhunter in our industry whether yours truly's brand has as much appeal to the chess players as the checker players. I have a soft spot in my heart for Chess, Mr Singh. But if you don't mind me using a chess term – you remind me of a pawn. The pawns on the board as you know are to be used by those higher on the food chain. They're cannon fodder for the Royalty on the board. Are you royalty Mr Singh or just a pawn whose time on the board is limited? Your attempts to portray me, but more to the point, your attempts to portray citizens of Adler Nation as Old White Bigots makes you one more pseudo intellectual pawn in the contemporary liberal approach to the all political argument in Canada today. Sophomoric unresearched fluff.
If you did your homework on my audience you would find out that in percentage terms, they're not uneducated or uncultured. And when it comes to minorities, in many parts of the country our brand has done better with minorities than it has with Liberal Wasps who are the Kings and Queens of the Canadian Liberal Chessboard. Isn't that true Mr Singh? And to continue with our little Chess game you know that the Queen and King of Liberalism have a couple of knights. One of them is the Toronto Star and the other is that far more deadly knight, their knight in shining armor -THE CBC with its unique window on the world of Canadian education. It's unique entry into the minds of school teachers and the children we entrust with them. They like you Mr Singh, indoctrinated with the CBC vision of Canada - And by the way they don't play Chess with the history of Canada. No, it's not subtle and nuanced and Chess-like. It's all Checkers, Mr Sing.
The CBC sees Canada as a cold, cold country with a cold, cold heart , the bastion of a bigoted uncultured crew of white Christians mainly from the British Isles who sought to benefit themselves by exploiting as many minorities as they could, first the native Indians who they infected with venereal diseases, who they exploited by giving them trinkets for their animal skins and then these White Christians from the British Isles conquered the French, leaving their church in place and its ideology to keep the French down in place, and then there were those immigrant waves from Europe and North Asia, and then much later South Asia and Africa, the Caribbean and then Central and South America. These ugly small-hearted White Christians from Great Britain looked down their noses at the East Europeans, gave them lots of land, but kept their opportunity to make money off the land as small as possible, opened the gates to the Chinese so they could turn them into virtual slave labourers, to work in agriculture and the railroads, closed the door in the late forties to a ship of Jews who looking for a place to find refuge from Adolf Hitler's ovens, discriminated against Blacks who managed to run from slavery by taking the underground railroad all the way to Nova Scotia and in much more contemporary times brought in people from Caribbean countries like Jamaica and encouraged many of them to live in a part of Toronto where some were able to engage in predatory practices against the many, and the usual triangle of underclass behavior, guns drugs and whores.
Do I need to go further Singh? That's Contemporary Canadian Liberalism's view – The CBC view of Canada. The Checkered view. They see Canada as the Story of Oppression. I see Canada as the Story of Opportunity. I totally understand where your letter is coming from. If you have been a victim of the oppressive Canadian Liberal establishment, been subjected to regular brain washing by their house organ, I totally get why you would feel alienated by my Dear Prime Minister letter and virtually everything else we do on this program.
I mean the CBC's perspective that all little Omar was doing was being David, firing his slingshot at the American Goliath and Amerikkka then tortured the boy into saying things that weren't true in order to spare his life, his life which was initially put in jeopardy by a man who was struggling with his identity, wanting to find a way to defeat the American Goliath and using some extreme methods to do so, a man by the way who was bailed out of a Pakistani jail by Jean Chretien, one of the Rooks on the Canadian Liberal chessboard. He rooked the Canadian taxpayers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars to give to the family of this misguided man who was just a victim of White Oppression.
Look, I have no trouble Mr Singh understanding why you would want to portray my listeners and yours truly as an old white bigot. That's your philosophical orientation. Now I don't want you to think that I haven't read your entire letter, because I have and I will be only too happy to read it again, now that I have commented on it and the audience can determine whether there is a lick of horse sense in here.
You start by writing, "Experience and common sense tells me that what people can 'get away' with saying usually has something of greater punch and teeth lying in their hearts."
Getting away from who Mr Singh…is that code for at the moment I can speak my mind, but in your ideal version of a country, you would criminalize me…do you wish to criminalize my Dear Prime Minister letter? Do you wish to send me to jail Mr Singh? Since you're so focused on the idea of my skin being white and the idea that the audience is too white, Do you think if you only allowed members of visible minorities to vote on your ideal Canada, do you think you could even get 10 percent of them to vote to put me in jail so that I could not speak my mind? You say I have something of great punch and teeth lying in my heart? And, what would that be Mr Singh? Greater punch and teeth? Floss your own Teeth, Mr Singh. If you have a specific charge to make it, make it. We're grown-ups here.
You go on to say, "I am in no way inferring that you have beers with David Duke, but listening to your show and reading your "letters" would give me credence to lay a fairly large sized bet with Vegas that you would prefer your Canada all white, god-fearing, Queen-butt kissing, etc. At least afford me the respect that I am not too far off in that remark." Mr Singh, I have afforded you lots of respect. I have not called you any names. I have told you that you are a victim of Liberal cultural malfeasance. You have fallen into the trap of believing that those of us who haven't been drinking the Kool-Aid are a bunch of David Dukes. Duke, the former Klansman who ran for Governor of Louisiana who appeared in my Toronto radio show on Martin Luther King Day. I scheduled him on that day for a reason. Contemporary liberals were aghast. They complained to the boss of the radio station at that time, telling him to silence his right wing shock jock which is how they referenced me. I invited them into the studio to listen to my interview with David Duke who became unglued on this Martin Luther King day, when I quoted liberally from Martin Luther King's speech and asked David Duke which parts were incorrect. His classic cool composure turned red hot as he became unraveled. He scampered off the radio stage like a cockroach that just had experienced the disinfectant of light. I said Goodbye Mr Duke and played Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech. I then asked members of the Liberal establishment of Toronto if they wished to participate in a discussion with me once the speech was concluded. They turned me down flat. They left the stage with tails tucked between their spindly little legs. After the speech I took call after call from Torontonians most of whom were of Jamaican heritage thanking me for the dismembering of Duke and the playing of I Have a Dream today.
Mr Singh, I have a dream today. I dream that you will listen to this show with the open-mind that I am sure you claim to have.
I'm not looking to check you or check mate you.
Our stated aim here is to Engage, Enlighten and Inspire.
I have a dream that someday you will not see my audience as a narrow-minded people who want to force Stephen Harper down your throat or Jesus Christ or any of the icons that you are taking cheap checker shots at. I know that you're a better man than how you come across in your attempt to bring a good man down. I forgive you for being a pawn of Liberalism. You're so surrounded by it. You're like a lobster in the pot, as Jacques Parizeau used to say. Just want to address one more thing, Mr Singh. Your name at the end of your email. Sunil Singh. And, you ask sarcastically what kind of Kanadian name is that???? You then put four question marks beside the word Canadian which you spell with a K. I am not foggy on why you are firing that little spit ball. I said in the tail of end of my Letter to the Prime Minister that the Khadrs had already taken too much from Canada, that this wasn't their country. It was our country and that Canada was spelled CANADA, not Khanada. There is no code in there, Mr Singh. I was crystal clear in saying that I felt the Khadrs had used us as an ATM for years and it had to stop – this country isn't their personal property. It belongs to everyone. The country is spelled CANADA, not KHANADA, means it's everyone's Canada not their personal fiefdom. Now Mr Singh, you can imply that I don't say what I mean and don't mean what I say. But it's a very thin blade of grass that you wish to stand on. As far as your name is concerned I see it as no less Canadian than MacDonald, or Cartier. Most Canadians don't judge other Canadians by names on birth certificates. You may have noticed my last name is not similar to any of the Fathers of Confederation. It's about your last name. It's about your character. It's about what you value.
One of the things I value about Democracy is dissent. I don't want to jail you for yours. I want to welcome you, as I have today and will again if you choose to come through the door. Thanks for your email, Mr Singh. Someday we may be able to meet somewhere, have a glass of beer and play a little chess. We're living in the greatest country in the world, Mr Singh. A toast. To the Queen.

Beograd, Serbia
for the blouse
i used burda pattern (8/2009, mod 117)
but crated two ruffles on each side, instead of one
and i made them in different colors
i first tried hemming ruffles on my serger
but wasn't really satisfied with how it looked
and how it draped
so i cut that hem off
and then used flame of the candle
to sort of melt ends of the ruffle
and seal them
i also made this skirt
i've made it a long time ago
and posted it on burdastyle
but if anyone is interested
pattern is from the same issue
of burda magazine as the blouse, mod. 128
(it's a dress pattern actually)
see more pics on my blog
chiffon (not of the silk kind) 1m in blue color, and scrap in black color
hook and eye closure in front
Feb 14, 2013, 06.45 PMby Mary Athey
Lovely blouse. Love the blue.and black x
Feb 14, 2013, 11.53 PMby mokosha
thank you
Feb 14, 2013, 03.00 PMby Redsonia
What a nice blouse! I love the color palette. Actually, I had the same problem with finishing the hem of the ruffle in my Like a Rainbow dress (http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/like-a-rainbow). I used the hemmer foot that creates straight, professional rolled hems on lightweight fabrics up to 2mm. The channel guide holds the rolled fabric and allows for a straighter hem. Try to use this, it gives a more neat look.
Feb 14, 2013, 03.42 PMby mokosha
:) thanks, glad you like it..
i knew, i have to invest in this foot :) i always try finding alternative solutions, and what i should do is simply to invest in those little things that make our lives easier (got myself invisible zip foot, and it's sooo much faster to insert my zippers now)
Feb 14, 2013, 02.44 PMby machelefranklin
That's the best take i've seen on this blouse so far (and i saw many versions of it…). Great choice of fabrics and colors.
Feb 14, 2013, 03.44 PMby mokosha
:) aw thank you.. that's like the greatest compliment i ever get hehe
Feb 14, 2013, 02.39 PMby Linda74Sews
clever idea on the ruffles. I find them nearly impossible to finish well.
Feb 14, 2013, 03.47 PMby mokosha
i'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.. takes a bit of practice on scraps, cause chiffon burns easily, and if this is not done carefully, flame tends to leave holes in the fabric, or ugly wavy uneven hem.. but with a bit of practice it's fast and easy (and should probably be done outside, it stinks like hell)
