MGM Still Planning For 'Robocop' Reboot & More Remakes
Q: How do you restructure a dying movie studio after declaring bankruptcy?
A: Remakes out the butt!
Yep, MGM's grand plan to scrape itself out of bankruptcy is to basically remake its entire library of titles. Of course if that fails they'll do original works based on outdated myths and legends. Solid game plans guys! We have reboots of Robocop and Mr. Mom (though the difference between a remake and reboot of Mr. Mom is beyond me) in the works as well as a rehash of The Idolmaker. The Lion's Head is also splitting the financing on Hansel & Gretel, partnering up with Paramount Pictures. That's not the only deal it has struck: MGM will co-finance the 23rd James Bond film as well as The Hobbit (itself a prequel). Luckily they'll fully finance the third sequel to Poltergeist all on their own. And the one original project they have on their slate is about… Hercules. Yep, the myth that has been around for THOUSANDS OF YEARS BUT APPARENTLY HASN'T BEEN OVERDONE YET.
So way to go MGM. Sequels, remakes, reboots, and gritty re-imaginings. That'll feed the soul and line the wallets.

How To Automatically Download File From Website?
I've just made the jump back from Mac to PC . I used to use Mac's automater to download an e- version of my free to distribute daily newspaper, start my mail program, attach the file to an email and send it to my Kindle. It was all quite easy to set up.
I'm looking for a way of doing this in Windows 7 but so far I'm not getting many hits on Google. Task Scheduler doesn't seem quite as flexible. Could anyone help me with how I do this?

Thanks for the reply but could you elaborate. I've had a mac for the last ten years, I don't understand how you install wget as the download doesn't seem to contain a .exe, or how to integrate it with task scheduler.

Bahamas Beach Vacation

The Bahamas, an English-speaking nation in the Caribbean Sea, is the only country in the Americas which has 700 islands and 2,300 rocky islets and reefs, but thanks to this it has more beaches and natural pools than the Dominican Republic, Portugal, France and other nations.
This country — which conserves 30% of its territory intact — has many of the world's most beautiful beaches, with several world-class resorts, aquatic parks and shopping centers — millions of dollars have been spent in the last decades on reforming the country's tourist industry. Certainly it is a unique place on the planet. Read the rest of this entry »

Some of the most impressive hotels in Europe
Some of the most astonishing hotels can be found in Europe and some are unlike anything you have ever seen or will see. Whether it's their luxury or innovative design that draws you in, the quality of these European hotels will blow you away. So, the next time you renew your E111 card and visit Europe, book a room at or visit one of these outstanding hotels:
Icehotel: Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
This hotel was one of the first of its kind and to this day is known as one of the world's most extraordinary hotels. Made entirely out of ice, the Icehotel is rebuilt every year and is known to be one of the most stunning sights in the world. Bring some heavy duty thermal clothing when you stay here though because the rooms are all kept at -5°C while outside temperatures can get as low as -45°C. Stay here to experience a night in a magnificent ice castle and try out husky sledding, snowmobiling, skiing, ice driving and much more.
Inntel Amsterdam Zaandamn: Amsterdam, Netherlands
This particular hotel is one of the most impressive architectural feats you will see in your lifetime. Imagine a huge stack of traditional Zaan houses all stacked on top of each other and mish-mashed together. It's fascinating to look at and what goes on inside is just as impressive. It has luxury rooms, a restaurant, an indoor swimming pool, a wellness club, a Finnish sauna and a gym. A stay in this hotel would be incredible for more than a few reasons.
Ballyfin Demesne: Laois, Ireland
If you've ever dreamed of being in a Jane Austen novel or have wanted to know what regal life is like then this hotel is where your wish will be granted. This restored Georgian country estate has 20 rooms and is the epitome of luxury. The décor will make you feel like you've just stepped into the shoes of a 19th aristocrat. There are four poster canopy beds, gilded mirrors, marble bathrooms, paintings, a grand piano, tapestries and a 2,000 year old Roman mosaic in the lobby. In this hotel you have 614 acres of secluded gardens at your disposal. You can go horseback riding, go clay pigeon shooting, learn archery or falconry, or you can get out on the 28-acre lake and go fishing or simply let the butler row the boat. While a stay at this unbelievable hotel is certainly not cheap, it is most definitely impressive.
Attrap' Rêves: France
You'll never think of camping the same way again after staying in this hotel. Designer Pierre Stephane Dumas took camping to a whole new level and created these amazing bubble-dwellings. In different locations in France you can sleep in an inflated bubble in the middle of a secluded glade and watch the stars. Each bubble is kept inflated by a silent blower that recycles air and inside you'll find a comfy king-size bed, a table with chairs, a reading lamp and a bathroom with running water. The bubbles even have electricity. You can choose a completely transparent bubble or a tinted one if you want extra privacy, although the bubbles are always secluded, private and kept a safe distance apart, so there's no worry over your privacy being invaded. You can get up close to nature in comfort and style while in the main building of the hotel, a short walk away from your bubble, you can relax in a Jacuzzi, dine in the restaurant and look through telescopes.
Vacation in Vietnam
Beach and nature worshippers would definitely enjoy an adventure vacation to Phu Quoc in Vietnam. This is because the place can be considered as a paradise to those who love bonding with nature—whether enjoying glorious beaches or just simply seeing and discovering the beauty that the environment has to offer— Phu Quoc will surely take your breath away.
What is truly exciting about this place is its an pristine deserted beaches perfect for countless of water activities such as scuba diving. It also features a wide array of jungle habitats and fishing villages that is truly unique to Vietnam. To date, there are less than a hundred mountains that are considered as primitive forests. People are still allowed to use the natural waterfalls but majority them are protected to ensure that they would not be polluted. Another great choice in Vietnam is a Hanoi private villa to rent. Although Phu Quoc is a territorial property of Vietnam, its location is nearer to Cambodia compared to the mainland of Vietnam. Originally famous for being an island where all sorts of fish and other seafood have originated, Phu Quoc was able to reinvent itself and now popular as an awesome paradise in Vietnam.

<lj-cut text="You don't have to read this if you don't want to; it explains why I've been a bit odd recently">
I ended up in hospital this Wednesday and ended up in the psychiatric unit at Heatherwood hospital.
I got terribly strong violent urges and I suddenly 'woke up' realising I was slashing my wrists.
I was scared because it wasn't a rational 'I want to die' thought, so I couldn't talk myself out of it. I just had the urge and did it before I realised what I was doing. So I was terrified I'd find myself doing it with a real knife. The object I used was very blunt fortunately
It was enough to prevent me from finishing what I'd started, and things are ok at the moment.
There's some confusion about
the BP as one of the doctors listed a load of things that BPs do that I don't do... despite me having told about
5 different doctors (including her) that I did do those things.
But the senior consultant having read all the notes seems to have done a 'hang on, actually...' over this.
I'll see my normal GP on monday and sort out medication. I've been assigned a community psych nurse and a psychiatrist, all of which is being done under Reading as I move into halls in a week.
I'd say don't worry, I'm not a homicidal lunatic... but that's only when I get onto medication :-P
Feeling rather good at the moment; hospital wasn't too bad. I had my own room, and I got to see Rob in the evening.
And I have Rob now.
He is truly, truly fantastic.
So... I've told my friends using my livejournal, and people will still have to bear with me a bit whilst I settle - I'm still very manic, and although the nurses couldn't see it; it's pretty obvious if you know me well and know what kinds of things I normally can't talk about
Obviously there'll be some time whilst I get used to medication, but that should solve most of the problems, and Rob and I are going to work on a special system I got from a book that will solve any kinds of bad problems as and when they happen, rather than me sitting hiding from him getting worse and worse, which is what I've done so far.
I've got a LOT of really good things to look forward to at the moment - Uni, Rob, the Bengals thrashing the Steelers on Sunday, so there's a lot of positive for me to focus on, so I should be ok.
I just lost control a bit on Wednesday.
It happens to everyone.
Unfortunately for me, it was rather serious.
But I'm ok.
I have Rob
Oh and the ward had a cat!

(((((DJ))))). i'm so so sorry. i know that all of us have these problems from time to time, but that doesn't make it any easier. having someone there with you, bob, helps. as i've said many times, i don't know what i'd ever do without my wife.
the ward had a CAT! how wonderful. my wife and i are cat people. we had two that we brought back from england. one lived 15 yrs and the otherr one lived 18 yrs. really miss them. then we had two more up until a yr ago. one died and then a yr later the other one died. we swore off of cats after the last one died. after we got back to tx we
opened the patio door in back and this beautiful white cat with ginger markings just waltzed through the door. my wife fed him, and he is still with us.
no tellin'.
jang in there, dj. we're all here for you. talk, rant, rave, whatever.

Djonma sweetheart, what a few days you've had. I'm so sorry you found yourself like this, but so pleased that the object was blunt and that you got help so quickly. -- And I'm seriously impressed at your attitude to all of this. Your response and summary speak nothing but sanity and good sense to me. -- The bp may cause you to have terrible moments, but *you* are very strong, and I've never been more aware of that than I am now (and that's saying something, because I've sensed for a while how strong you are).
As you say, the positive here is that your help will come sooner rather than later -- and I'm rooting for you for Monday!! -- And you're right, you've *so* much to look forward to: not just uni, Rob and the Bengals, but a whole life in which I just know you'll end up thriving because of all that strength and talent.
Big hugs to you (((Djonma))) -- and for Rob, who I think is a star in his own right.
Love ya hun,
Rosie x
P.S. A ward cat? -- What a brilliant idea! That's forward thinking in the health sphere. Oh how I wish I had a cat ... one day! Can you have a goldfish in halls? They're also very relaxing. I miss my last one. Think it may be time soon to get another friendly lil' fish for me!
People are not like fish: they do not work well battered.
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded...

Thanks for the great responses guys.
I am strong, I know this... it's amazing; one of the nurses told me it was impossible to control bp without medication when I explained to her that I'd been able to control it up til now.
That just isn't true.
Scientific studies have proven that meditation changes the physical structure of the brain.
I've been meditating since I was about
My mind is very much in control of itself and my body, and I CAN control things that some people think can't be controlled.
But that's a large problem with western medicine; they don't seem to believe in the power of the mind, when it's been proved over and over again that you can do amazing things with your mind.
I'm hoping I can convince my psych doc to try and convince my Uni that having a cat would be beneficial to my mental health.
I coped as a teenager with these mood problems (the bp) and after serious abuse just because I had my cat.
My parents are happy for me to have the eldest one; she's the one I'm closest to, I just hope that if a doctor puts it in writing, the halls will accept it.
After all; there are provisions for guide dogs.
And although I'd only have a single room, it wouldn't be cruel on her - she's got a slipped disc in her spine and has had 6 weeks confined to a cage with occasional letting out in a single room to help her back heal, and she's going to have to have surgery and another 6 weeks in a cage to let it heal again. So she's very much used to a single room now! And she's not much of a going out cat anyway!
I REALLY do think that that would help me. Now to convince my new psych doc and the uni

Oh and I must say - I draw a lot of strength from here!
Even when I was in hospital, I knew I'd be able to come home and post here and everyone would understand!
It's amazing just how much that means to me.
You all understand exactly what I'm going through, that really makes an amazing difference.
I can talk to my friends all I want about
it, but they won't really understand.
Rob understands a lot more now; I made sure he was with me all the time when I told my 'life story' to a million different nurses and doctors wednesday night. I've told him EVERYTHING I feel and think when I'm bad, including all the terrifying thoughts of hurting him and other people.
He's watched me go through this and he's been there every second that he's been allowed (visiting hours in hospital permitting).
So although he hasn't got it himself; he understands a hell of a lot more than most people without it, which is really good.
We're going to be making up cards from the BiPolar Happens book. That card system she made. Rob and I think it's a fantastic idea and since we're both still pretty new to understanding all of what's going on with me (I'm still looking back at my childhood and thinking "OH GOD! That was mania!") it'll help us cope a lot.
I'm going to give a set to the university disability office as well, so that if I have problems, I can go straight to someone there and they can look at the cards and work out what to do.
I've got a mental health nurse (though I don't know his number yet and haven't met him yet, I think I'll find out about
that on Monday) and I'll have a Psych doc, and I have the crisis team phone number, so I'll give all of that information to the uni as well.
I think it's best if they know what to do if I'm bad.
I've hidden all of this WAY too long, it's time for me to not hide it from anyone, and to talk to people who can help when I need it.
It's kind of odd... like I told Rob last night... I feel different.
Like things have changed now.
I couldn't work out if it was a good feeling or a bad feeling.
Rob agrees that things have changed, but now I see it's good.
My whole life is changing; I'm admitting things to myself that I hid from myself.
I'll get help and counselling for the abuse I suffered.
I'll get help with the bp.
I'm going to Uni.
I'm planning to lose a load of weight and start rowing for the uni team (going to see if I can start a disabled team - adaptive Rowing has finally been accepted into the olympics!!)
Things are changing.
And it's about
time too.
So I've worked out that different feeling is good.

Yes hun, you're right, the mind can achieve tremendous things -- and your strength is, as I've said, something I don't question. I think the key thing here, though, is that bp has a tendency to pick up speed and get progressively worse, making it harder to control without meds. I think it's strong of you to realise too that the time has come for the intervention of meds -- and I know this is the path you know is right because of what you've been fighting for recently and what you've been posting. The right meds (and, yes, it may take a little time to get meds and dosages worked out for you) will not take away your strength or personality, and going on meds will not call your strength into question: sometimes strength is in knowing when you have to be responsible to yourself by accepting the help available and not compromising your health.
I hope they go for that cat idea! Mind you, I know universities ... sometimes there's no logic! -- Good for you for trying though: you know I'd let you! Remember that if they do still say no, you can find a houseshare for your second year with a landlord that would allow it (many -- like mine -- don't, but there are some who do out there!!).

Yeah, I definitely think it's time for medicine now.
I've coped as much as I can for all of my life, and it's just got worse and worse, as it does without treatment. So I just need some help with it.
There's nothing weak about
Let's face it; this is a genetic disease, it's as physical as a broken leg!
I'm a little worried about
how I'll cope at uni whilst trying out new medicines - I think I'll get my first lot of medicine Monday, and I'll talk to my doctor about
that, and about
those worries, and then I'll phone the disability office at the Uni and tell them about
the diagnosis and that I'll be starting new meds and that I might have trouble adjusting to the medicines at first.
I don't think they'll let me have the cat in all seriosity.. and my parents are moving to Crete as soon as their house sells, so if they move before I get somewhere that allows a cat, it's too late :-(
But I will try.
You don't lose anything by trying!
And it's a proven fact that animals help patients of all kinds, physical and mental.
And my cat really does help to balance me.
So I will try, it's all I can do

when we lived in england my wife and i had a very dear friend who finally (at about
30) accepted that he was gay and "came out." this was the best thing he ever did in his life. his whole attatude about
life and his entire life changed for the better. this was positively the best thing that could have happened to our friend. it was unbelievably positive.
reading your last couple of posts made me think of our friend. the positiveness of it is starteling. in both cases, you came to terms with your conditions and made decisions on reality rather than fantacy.
i hope that your positive attatude keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Hi Djonma,
Good plan to contact the disability office about
the new meds. You might also want to tell your personal tutor or the year one tutor (don't know what the system will be at Reading). Don't feel you have to, but if they're approachable it's often good to have someone who knows and can help you with the work side if needed. I'm a year two tutor at Portsmouth and have a few students with similar problems who I work with on how best to manage things during crisis times. That said, I've known a few tutors in my time that I wouldn't take any problems to, so go with your gur instinct about
them. In any case, you can always ask us about
stuff and we'll help!
You might be right about
the cat in halls thing. -- Hope not, but glad you're considering the possibility. Sorry your parents will be moving -- mind you, holidays should be lovely! :) Seriously, see if they'll compromise on a goldfish if they won't allow the cat. I know some people thing goldfish are hardly pets at all (which is good for getting them into halls!) but they can be so relaxing to watch. All this talk about
pets recently and I'm going to go out and find myself a lil' fish myself!

I applied for a position and was just notified it is a group interview. Everyone who applied will be there You must participate to even be considered.
I dislike interviews to start and a group setting. I thinking I am not going on this interview.
I am a shy person till I get to know you so I don't think this is for me.
It is not a big corporate position just a simple teller position in a bank. Don't get it oh well happy job hunting to me
I would go, but I would refuse to answer any personal questions in front of the group.
I think you should give it a go. It might not be as bad as you think, and even if you don't get the job, at least you will have had the experience. I know where you're coming from, as I wouldn't really like it either, but everyone will be in the same boat and it will boost your confidence for any future occasions. Like someone else said, it's probably just to see how you relate to other people. Go for it!
Its just one form of interviewing. Before you discount it, why not do a little research on interviewing techniques on the net. Once you know what its all about and the purpose/motive of this particular type of interview, you will be better prepared. Trust me, everyone who is thinking of attending this will be very nervous. If you've done your research, you will be head and shoulders above the rest. Then you can decide if you want the job or not. Good luck!
if the interview turns out include one large mud pit, it probably isn't the type of job you want
No mud pit group interviews are so 80's.
I'm dating myself
(which, ironically enough, I also did in the 80s)
It's to see if you as a Teller, can handle people in general. I've heard of some Corps even sitting "plants" in with the candidates to be antagonists to see if they can upset you easily. With todays economy, and the way people feel about banks in general, it could be what they're trying.
Thanks everyone for your advice I will let you know what I decide to do. Thanks again
I had a group interview once, and I walked out. Mostly because when they set up the interview they didn't tell me it would be with a group and then when I got there I found out it was for a telemarketing position - not the clerical position advertised. I'm not a salesperson!!
Good luck to you, though. Your interview might be different.

Tim Kachel : General Manager
My passion for cars began as far back as I can remember. Since childhood my curiosity to discover how things worked mechanically led me to dismantle anything I could lay my hands on, clocks, radios, and to the chagrin of my parents, their lawnmower. As a teenager, my "car fever" flourished and I cycled through quite a few cars. During this time I gained experience working on BMW's, Audi's and even Chevrolets and Fords. I completely overhauled a supercharged six cylinder engine by the age of 15.
While in college, I worked part time for Schneller BMW, in Newburyport, MA and after graduation worked full time and remained there for four years. I was then given a chance to work for one of the top BMW race teams in America, Turner Motor Sports, so I jumped at the opportunity. From there, I joined KTR European Motorsports which expanded my experience to Italian Automobiles, both vintage and modern. At KTR I realized a new passion "Fabrication" and continued to enhance this skill over the next three years.
Drew : Marketing
Joining KMC back in 2013 as a intern Drew has worked his way into our marketing team. Having other intern experience with Turner Motorsport and Sublime restorations he formed a good understanding what quality work and attention to detail really is. A recent graduate from the University of Montana Drew brings creativity, passion and love for all things automotive.
While on the side he enjoys going to track events across New England including Palmer, Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and NHMS. Too add to that he is working on building a Mazda Miata Chump car with some of our very own customers too! A die hard Porsche enthusiast who understands the brand and the history that has brought it here, we at KMC are very happy to have another motivated member to our team.
Ethan Lennhof : Shop Assistant
I've had a love for cars as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was a Legos mechanic, then moved onto skateboards and bicycles, ending up as a mechanic at a bike shop. I started working on cars at 16, replacing the suspension on my dad's z3 roadster and lifting my Jeep Cherokee. KMC has been a great opportunity for growth as a learning mechanic. This shop has a work environment that emphasizes precision and accuracy. While running errands and taking odd jobs around the shop, KMC is a great learning experience. I'm building skills which will prove to be valuable in the future.
David Seavey : Lead Technician
Dave fell in love with cars while listening to his fathers' race car stories as a child. While attending UNOH he obtained a degree in Automotive with a focus on High Performance and Alternative Fuels. His initiation into the world of European cars was with Schneller BMW in Newbury, MA, this is where he developed a passion for BMW and performance driving. He then went on to join Precision Restorations, the now defunct brainchild of former Paul Russell & Co. alumni and terrific environment to develop and hone his fabrication and restoration skills. When he isn't working he is currently completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, autocrossing with one of several clubs, or preparing for the annual Grassroots Motorsports Challenge in which he has participated since 2006. In 2012 He took the honor of fastest autocross vehicle in a Jeep Cherokee (you did read that correctly, an autocross champion JEEP!!) Check it Out Here!
Edwin Diaz : Technician
As a 2012 graduate from Universal Technical Institute, Edwin comes to us eager to continue his education. He has a passion for all things automotive and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. We are proud to have him on our team and look forward to him growing into his spot here.
Evans Tsiaousopoulos : Sales Representative
My passion and love (some say sickness) for cars most probably was around since birth! My Grandfather on my mothers side imported cars to Greece for his private use in the 40's. Born and raised in Winchester, Ma I spent quite a lot of time in Greece where I was subjected to some of the finest European cars. From a young age at 13 I began driving my cousins Ford Sierra Cosworth and Lancia Delta Integrale. From there on, I became addicted.
I went to Boston University in 1995 and found out my then brand new VW Golf GTI VR6 was a peasants car! Seeing all the foreign students and their new M3's, Porsche's, Ferrari and other high end cars only fueled my passion even more. In 1999 I graduated from B.U. with a BA in business. Upon graduating I purchased a new 1999 BMW MZ3 Coupe in Imola Red and I started to enter as many track events as I could. With my sickness for cars brewing even stronger, I purchased my first Lamborghini and I fell in love with the combination of the leather and gasoline smell!
I started my own dealership in Cohasset, MA in 2005 named Majestic Cars Ltd and we focused on all high end imports both sales and service. Upon closing Majestic Cars Ltd, I joined KMC in my desire to continue my work and passion with European cars.

category under title formatting
I am trying to get the category inline with the date and author on the front page and under the post content on the single post page. I am having a few problems doing that. First, when I make changes to the margins, etc. for the post-cat it only applies properly to the first post and is slightly different for the rest. Then, when I go to the single post page the formatting is yet again different. As far as getting the category tag under the post content, I am completely lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've attached a link above to the site I'm having trouble with so you can take a look.

When Michael Vásquez began visiting the Hopi Indians 20 years ago, the Northern Arizona University (NAU) anthropology professor ran into a serious obstacle: generations of anthropologists before him had thoroughly alienated the tribe.
"Anthropologists published books, got tenure, while native communities haven't gotten anything," he says.
That's no longer the case, thanks to Vásquez and a new wave of anthropologists who have redefined the study of the ancient past by rejecting their own past.
Rolling up his sleeves, Vásquez embedded himself in a Hopi village, working in the dirt and dust with residents and eventually developing inter-active programs at the village and at NAU, where a Hopi student recently earned a Ph.D.
Over the years, Vásquez has also waded into the fields with farmers in Norway, Mexico, Guatemala, the San Joaquin Valley, and in Navajo and Havasupai villages – an unusual career arc for a city boy from San Francisco.
But his contributions hardly end there. Currently, Vásquez is helping develop public achievement and other culturally engaged curriculum pro-jects for Latino children in Arizona. He chairs the Coconino County Hispanic Advisory Council and was elected to a spot on the Flagstaff Unified School District governing board in November.
In 2009 Vásquez received the University's President's Distinguished Teaching Fellow Award at NAU, his academic home for 21 years.
"One of the things I've really come to appreciate about working here is that we graduate the highest number of Native American students in America in a school that isn't tribally run," he says. "In our department, we do things quite differently."
What makes a good anthropologist? A sense of alienation from the mainstream culture helps, says Vásquez.
"As I tell my students often, I think to be a good anthropologist you have to be marginal to your own culture. By that I mean you have to have questions about it and look at it in a critical way," he says. "In my case, I was sort of on the margins of several cultures. My grandparents on one side were from Mexico; one of my grandparents on the other side was from Italy; and the other, from Puerto Rico.
"So I grew with a blending of all those cultures, which gave me a perspective on America and each of those cultures that isn't very common. It took me a while to figure out that anthropology was the discipline that dealt with those kind of cross-cultural and diversity issues."
A respect for education seems to be part of the Vásquez family's genetic makeup. His father was among the first Hispanics to earn a degree from Stanford; both he and his wife taught at a Bay Area community college. Each of their five sons is a teacher.
"We were raised to value education. I spent a lot of my time reading," he says.
It was as an undergrad at Cal Berkeley that Vásquez's interest in anthro-pology was piqued. "I took a class from Ralph Nader's sister back in the late '60s. It seemed like something I wanted to do, but it took me a couple years to take the next step," he says.
Next Vásquez moved to a Mayan village in Guatemala, where he met his wife, became a woodcarver's apprentice and spent countless hours in the fields.
"A lot of what I learned about anthropology and the world in general I learned there," he said. "A friend, who also was a kind of mentor, told me: 'Miguel, you got two ears and one mouth: use them proportionally.' In other words, shut up and listen. I did that.
"A lot of my [anthropological] work was with farmers. They don't have a lot of time for people who stand around with clipboards and ask a bunch of ridiculous questions.
"But if you're willing to roll up your sleeves, they're willing to sit down and share what they know. And what they know is considerable. It's that kind of traditional knowledge that's being lost to the world at a time when we can most use it."
After living in the U.S., Vásquez and his wife returned to Guatemala, living in a remote mountain village where only a
handful of Mayan residents could afford shoes.
But violence was in the air.
"We were working with the people to improve their situation," he says. "But the country was on the brink of civil war. The mili-tary built a garrison nearby; these people sup-ported a guerrilla movement. They said: 'Look, it's going to get dangerous around here. You have a wife and a little boy. We can't protect you. You need to go home.'
"But we still go back periodically to Guatemala. My wife's family still lives there."
Back in the U.S., Vásquez entered graduate school at Cal Davis, earning a master's in inter-national agriculture and a Ph.D. in anthropology, at age 40.
"My four brothers were up in the balcony at the graduation ceremonies. When they called my name to give me the degree, they yelled out in unison: 'It's about time."'
At Northern Arizona, Vásquez found a hospitable place for his interest in agricultural anthropology. The Hopi have lived in the Southwest for more than 2,000 years, many of them on three mesas topped with ancient villages built of stones. A motorist northbound from Phoenix toward Flagstaff on I-17 can make a short detour and drop down to the past in a matter of 30 minutes.
But initially, the distance seemed much farther to Vásquez. Not long ago, archaeologists remained in their remote trenches, cataloging artifacts and focusing on the material remains of past civilizations while paying little heed to native people.
"The natives didn't really have a voice, and anthropologists wouldn't –or couldn't – speak for them," he says.
With his Batavia Terrace Project, which physically restored 700-year-old terrace gardens, Vásquez engineered a change in the relationship with the Hopi.
"They're some of the oldest gardens in existence in the U.S. Every summer over nine years, I had students from Northern Arizona who worked on the project. And we got grants to hire young people from the (Hopi) village to restore the terraces. It provided their kids with the chance to get their hands in the dirt and earth and to experience growing things," he says.
As ties between the department and the Hopis developed, Vásquez helped develop a Ruins Preservation Training Workshop for unemployed Hopi youth, which has generated careers in cultural preservation and a new interest in the relevance of anthropology for the Hopi. NAU students and the Hopis have transcribed tapes for tribal archives, developed a cultural curriculum with the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals, conducted research in cultural affiliation, developed media materials on health and nutrition for the Hopi Health Center, and created the HCPO website, which won the national student award of the Society for Applied Anthropology.
The past isn't Vásquez's only passion. In an anthropology class called Peoples of the Southwest, the conversation often turns to illegal immi-grants, a topic of pressing interest in Arizona. Students frequently claim immigrants take jobs from Americans.
"So I do a little experiment and I tell them, 'OK, I'm a watermelon grower in Yuma, Ariz. I've got 500 acres of watermelon that I need to har-vest in summer. I'm willing to pay them more than minimum wage – $10 an hour to pick my watermelons. But it's 110 degrees, and they have to work until the harvest is in,"' says Vásquez, whose grandparents came to the U.S. undocumented.
"I ask: 'how many takers?"'
Contemporary political issues prodded Vásquez to run for a spot on the school board, a post that consumes a good chunk of his time.
"But I'm actually having a good time at that," he says. "The state legis-lature here and the governor have no regard whatsoever for education. I think we're No. 49th or 50th in the amount of state funding per pupil. Everyone on the school board realizes we have no choice but to think out-side the box. And so what to some people would be dramatic or radical ideas, in other places or times, well, we're considering those types of things. And I'm not even the one in some cases who has to bring them up. For example, we're talking about how in 12 years we're going to have all the schools in Flagstaff solar."
In the end, though, Vásquez never strays far from his academic roots.
"Part of my education was in graduate programs here in the United States, but a substantial part of it was working with folks in Guatemala and here with the Hopi," he says.

History is the study of past human experiences grounded on the conviction that these share an essential continuity with our present and future. Through the careful reading of documents and historical inter¬pretations, students are trained to see themselves and their world as entities proceeding in time and formed by what has gone before. It is the goal of the department to undertake activities in teaching, research, and extension work designed to develop expertise in Philippine history as a primary area, and Western and Asian history as secondary areas.
A. Stories of the Past and Where to Find Them:
Practical Methods of Teaching History in the Classroom
Thursday, May 11, 2017
Visions of the Past: History and Visual Arts
Ms. Isabel Consuelo A. Nazareno
Faculty, Department of History
The lecture highlights selected works of visual art from periods in history.
Beyond aesthetics, visual art provides an alternative entry point for understanding societies; a reflection of the values, culture, and identity of a people
Shooting History: History in Photographs
Dr. Francis M. Navarro
Faculty, Department of History
The lecture explains how photographs as visual tools for classroom teaching can be used to illuminate important and significant events that happened in the past. It likewise deals with how photographs can enliven a student's historical imagination by bringing life to past events.
Herodotus and Hollywood: History and Film
Mr. David O. Lozada III
Faculty, Department of History
The lecture explains the practical applications on how to properly employ movies as an instructional tool for History and Social Science classes. It provides guidelines of what types of movies to use and a discussion on how to utilize pop culture references in movies to illuminate and explain historical events and social phenomenon.
Re-Assessing the Narrative: History VS. Social Memory
Dr. Jose Ma. Edito K. Tirol
Faculty, Department of History
The lecture examines how narratives of the past are actually products of the interaction between history and social memory. In this context, narratives can be studied not as definitive works but instead as constructs affected by changing domestic and international power structures, and also by the values prioritized by a nation's people at any given time.
B. Understanding Martial Law:
Friday, May 12, 2017
Dr. Jose Ma. Edito K. Tirol and Ms. Estela R. Banasihan, M.A.
Faculty, Department of History
The lecture will briefly introduce the context that allowed Ferdinand Marcos to win his first two terms as president. It will then discuss the origins of Martial Law, and the different dimensions of the dictatorship – crony capitalism and the plunder of the economy, media censorship, torture and human rights, and the wars against insurgency. Finally, the lecture will close with a discussion on the continuing debate on social memory, and what that means today. Teaching strategies and activities for the topic will also be discussed.
C. History in the Classroom – A Talk by Dr. Ambeth R. Ocampo
Wednesday, May 10, 2017 10:30 – 12:00
ESCALER Hall
Targetting teachers of history, this talk is about the speaker's research and how this informs and supplements his teaching. It will emphasize best practices of combining the two, and making them relevant and intelligible for our millennial students.
