Give your soles and arches the very best with the Orthaheel Airlie. This casual clog with a Mary-Jane inspired closure will provide dynamic shine to your outfit and relief to your feet. Invented by foot specialists and praised by Dr. Andrew Weil and the American Podiatric Medical Association, this shoe provides tri-planar motion control to keep your stride and posture favorably straight.
Orthaheel Airlie Pewter Synthetic Women's Shoe
Features include:
To experience the greatest comfort, only wear the Orthaheel Airlie for less than four hours a time during the first two weeks so your foot can become familiarized to the supportive traits of the footwear. After this initial period, you'll be able to wear the shoe around the clock, free from any aches.
This shoe is comfortable, attractive with the bronze finish, and gives me good arch support. Otherwise, I have to wear orthotics. I'm very happy that they're making shoes in Size 5!
I am really happy with this shoe. I have quite a few pairs of MBT's which I love, but I've noticed my heels rolling inward so I wanted to try an Orthaheel shoe. This shoe does exactly what it is supposed to do--help realign my legs.
Compared to other orthaheel's I have and not quit as satisfied.
I cannot say enough good things about these shoes...comfort and the realignment from foot to back is truly amazing.....I walk with confidence, no pain and knowing knee surgery is no longer the immediate thing I thought it was going to be. This particular style is fun and edgy...with metal nail heads as decoration on the front of the shoe....cute...cute. Pls keep working on making cute girly style for the women who do not wear high heels. These shoes are super comfortable.....

"I discovered Footwear etc. only about a month ago. I have ordered 6 pairs of shoes during their MBT sale and am so very happy with the purchases. I wear a size 12 women's shoe -- a size that is virtually impossible to find in most shoe stores and especially in MBT styles. MBT is the ONLY shoe I can wear since hip replacement surgery left me with a leg length discrepancy and lower back pain. But I cannot find them in my size. Also, I can't really affort to buy them at the regular price and Footwear etc.'s sales are a Godsend for me. That is why I have bought 6 pairs while they are on sale. MBT's last a long time and I am hoping that by stocking up, it will keep me shoed until the next sale. Also, whenever I call Footwear etc. for help, I get a REAL PERSON on the phone who never fails to be truly helpful and polite -- a rarity in today's busy world with too many customer service people whose first priority is to convince you that your problem is not theirs!"

Washington DC is a beautiful place with a lot of beautiful people in its community. Our mission is to give parents, teachers, researchers, and visitors some ideas what to see in our nation's capital and surrounding area. There are over 12,000 photographs in our collection for you to explore.
Every year a 350-year-old stone lantern is lit in the Thomas Jefferson Tidal Basin. This formal ceremony commemorates the 1912 gift to Washington D.C. of 3000 cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan. The event includes traditional Japanese performers, Washington dignitaries and the 70 Cherry Blossom princesses representing states, territories, and embassies. The lighting ceremony is held at the site of the first two cherry trees planted by Mrs. William Howard Taft and Viscountess Chinda in 1912. The Lantern ceremony is don't miss! Special thanks to Mark Rhoads of the National Conference of State Societies for his help with this gallery.
Location : Tidal Basin at Independence Ave. and 17 th St., SW.
Cherry Blossom in Washington DC Peak Bloom
West Potomac Park and the Tidal Basin with its flowering Japanese cherry blossom trees are under the care of the National Park Service. A horticulturist by the name of Robert DeFeo is the Park Service's cherry blossom expert and according to Mr. DeFeo peak bloom time (or peak bloom period) is defined as when 70 percent or more of Cherry trees are in full bloom. This is also the time which attracts tourists (both local and worldwide) to take pictures of cherry blossom trees so they can say they were a part of the DC cherry blossom experience.
Cherry Blossom Festival (Sakura)
For 91 years, people from all over the world have gathered in Washington to welcome the arrival of spring and to share the special season with each other. The splendid cherry trees, the focal point of the Festival, are constant reminders of the strong and enduring friendship between the United States and Japan.

Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial
The Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial is located on a four-acre plot on the northwest corner of the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC. It is adjacent to the Roosevelt Memorial and creates a "line of leadership," as it is placed in a straight line with the Lincoln Memorial (where Dr. King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech) and the Jefferson Memorial. The Stone of Hope, from which Dr. King's likeness emerges, gazes upon the Tidal Basin toward the horizon. The memorial is not only a tribute to Dr. King, it is also meant to be a symbol of a future society encompassing justice and equality. The memorial will also features an Inscription Wall with fourteen of Dr. King's most influential quotes, engraved on a 450-foot crescent shaped granite wall. Address: 1964 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20024.
To truly experience our Nation's Capital, you must see it from the tallest structure in Washington, DC. The Washington Monument rises 555 feet above the National Mall and offers the best view of the city. The Washington Monument was erected to honor the greatness of the city of President George Washington. The first cornerstone was placed on July 4, 1843, and was finally completed on December 6, 1884. The obelisk design was Mills' interpretation of city designer Pierre L'Enfant's centerpiece for the capital city. Fifty flags surround the base of the Monument, one to symbolize each state in the Union. Hours of operation are 9:00 am to 4:45 pm daily. It is free to get in, but you do need to get free tickets to reserve a time.

Welcome to the White House for Christmas season. "Deck the Halls and Welcome All," is this year's (2010) theme based on the colors in the Red Room and the Christmas colors of red and green. The White House is a perfect place to decorate for the holidays. An estimated 100,000 people will visit the White House during the holiday season. The President's estate will host many dinner parties, receptions, and open houses throughout the month of December. Take a sneek peak.
Midnight Mass at the National Shrine
Pilgrims from across the Nation attended Midnight Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Cardinal Schotte, Special Envoy of His Holiness Pope John Paul II, was the Mass celebrant. "Dear brothers and sisters, today we should revive and strengthen our resolve to be faithful and to express unabashedly, our acceptance of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. It belongs to our catholic faith; it is an essential part of our Catholic identity. We cannot call ourselves true sons and daughters of the Catholic Church if we do not commit ourselves to a true devotion to the Blessed Mother."
Home for the Holidays: A Sentimental Journey
The U.S. Botanic Garden's holiday display recalls the post-World War II holidays when families were reunited, a peaceful future beckoned, and celebrations had developed a distinctly American style.

For not much more than the price of a movie, you can take a walking tour through a Halloween event you're not likely to forget. The fear's real, but the danger isn't. Good fun for the whole family.
Markoff's Haunted Forest has evolved throughout the years into a great tradition. A lot of the same family, friends and staff are still involved and a good time is had by all.

The philosophy and policy of this Conservative government has been to make it more difficult for poor families to feed their own children.
There are many options to revitalize our postal service. But the Tories would rather kill it than reform it
The collection times shown on the "letters" box are precise: 8.45 a.m., 2.05 p.m. and 8.40 p.m. Such a confident statement of precise collection times bodes well for earning the confidence of the letter-writing public.
The Transport Minister says that fewer Canadians are sending letters and parcels via Canada Post. Well, maybe it's because the service leaves soooo much to be desired.
The organization highlighted the financial plight facing Canada Post and suggested eliminating door-to-door delivery to save money
The third of us that get our mail delivered to our doors soon won't, just like the other two-thirds. Can we endure this outrage?
The question before us is not whether to 'save home delivery' or 'save Canada Post.' That is a false choice, which the logic of monopoly forces upon us
'Action plan' offers a band-aid solution to a problem requiring radical surgery

I'm not asking you to eff your beauty standards, I'm asking you to eff your preconceived notions. Understand that not a day has gone by in the past eighteen years in which I haven't been cussed and tutted at and judged for looking the way I look, yet I still get up and go into the world and try to be the best version of myself.
Now don't get me wrong - I am 100% behind the message that Tess sends out. She is a massive presence online in making people reevaluate beauty standards and she's a gorgeous girl. There are however two things that bug me about this whole story.
On the 7th of January. That is this Wednesday, midway through the worst week of the year. Self styled, weight loss expert Steve Miller has proposed a 'Warn a Friend They're Fat Day'. 'Warn', seriously Steve? Do you know a single fat person who doesn't know they are fat?
Looking at this woman from any other perspective - from outside the strict, bizarre world of fashion - Myla Dalbesio isn't "plus-size". She is MODEL SIZE. Angular in places, soft in others, but with semi-protruding ribs and minimal body fat. She is stunning to look at, obviously. She's a beauty. But 'plus-size'? No.
Oftentimes, it can seem like the majority of the world is striving to achieve some kind of Western version of normality - and, more specifically, some kind of American version of normality. From fashion designers to film producers, it can start to feel like the entirety of the earth becomes permeated by America.
Even as a big-busted size 12 or 14 - shopping for elegant winter clothes can be near impossible, and I imagine it gets harder and harder as the size chart goes up. I'm a size 16 and I find most chunky knits make me look like a cotton wool ball with legs.
Instead of focussing on something that is never going to change why not realise that the majority of working models in the UK are healthy, happy people who probably work out less and eat worse than most of us.
I could see myself strutting around the house in nothing but the Undine knickers and sequined collar, paired with my glittery Steve Madden marble flats.
A woman stopped me at the bus station on my way in to work last week. She wanted to tell me that she often saw me passing by, always loved what I was wearing and was curious as to where I bought my clothes. She brightened up what had started out as another depressing Monday morning I can tell you.
There has been much talk in the past month about the plus size woman, how and where she should be spending her hard earned cash and which brands deserve it. Plus size blogger Chastity Garner of Garner style, this month called to arms fellow chubs to boycott American store Target on account of them revealing yet another designer collaboration with no plus sizes in sight.
Not all women size 16+ are unhealthy. Just as a starting point you might want to make a not of the fact that women are all shaped and sized differently which result in different dress sizes and in a high street that sizes everything on a whim what is a 16 anyway?
There is no shortage of lists online that can give you recommendations of blogs to read and bloggers to pay attention to. These lists always contain my favourite bloggers and it's great to see other people enjoying them too!
There are other beliefs out there too however and these are the ones that I want to discuss today; specifically in relation to fat women. The kind of beliefs I am talking about are the darker side of the fat hating culture; the kind that people, men in the most part but also women, do not admit exist. So what are they?
In a society transfixed on appearance and perceived beauty are we fighting a losing battle? Will there ever be a time when fat people can walk down the street without being verbally and physically abused. Will we stop being the butt of jokes on panel shows and sitcoms? And when will a fat woman take the romantic lead in a film without having to be funny or tragic?
The nations interest in all things vintage is on the up, the popularity of shows like Dawn O'Porter's This Old Thing prove our love does not seem to be waining. From shabby chic furniture, to 40s style tea parties and the ever popular burlesque movement, it would seem us brits are yearning to be taken back to a simpler time.
Nearly 7 years ago now, I had a gastric bypass. I weighed around 24 stone and was a size 32. I was aged 27 at the time and more than anything, I desperately wanted to be thin. I had suffered from eating disorders. I had been on an endless cycle of diets, gruelling exercise regimes and diet pills, but nothing had made the impact I wanted it to.

Current Opportunities
Executive Director
The Tyler Arboretum is a nonprofit public garden in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, serving the Greater Philadelphia region. One of the oldest arboreta in the northeastern United States, it encompasses 100 acres of renowned plant collections, heritage and champion trees, and historic buildings enclosed by a deer fence and 550 acres of woodlands, wetlands, meadows and stream valleys connected by 17 miles of hiking trails.
The Board of Trustees adopted Tyler's current master site plan in 2008. Numerous specific projects are designed and/or in process to date. To tie the various exhibits together and create a site that is diverse yet accessible, the plan calls for the completion of a pervious macadam Scenic Loop that enables visitors of all physical abilities to enjoy an array of natural experiences. Additionally, a thematic reorganization of the historic buildings is planned that will allow visitors to interpret and experience the historic landscape as a whole. These ambitious but achievable goals will require expanded fundraising capacity led by the Executive Director, Board of Trustees and staff.
We seek a proven leader who can demonstrate a successful career of consistently moving nonprofit organizations forward in pursuit of their vision. This individual would bring leadership characterized by an ability to garner broad constituent support, develop and empower staff, increase visibility of the organization and carry forward major projects and programs. We seek a leader who is an exceptional relationship builder whose passion is evident by his or her ability to clearly and enthusiastically articulate the organization's vision to members, donors, elected officials and other stakeholders. An affinity for the mission of horticultural and historical properties as represented by public gardens and museums must be evident, as well as knowledge of best practices and new trends in the management of cultural resources. Of critical importance is the candidate's ability to transform ideas into specific, goal-driven project outcomes. Solid, demonstrated skills in operations and business management are expected. Strategic decision making in project prioritization, from basic infrastructure improvements to large-scale programmatic initiatives, is essential to successfully carrying out the job.
Given the capital and annual fundraising requirements to implement the master site plan, we seek a candidate who has a proven track record in obtaining major individual gifts, corporate sponsorships, foundation grant support and government contracts. Such skills will also be required in assisting the Trustees to develop a high-powered Board devoting its time, talent and treasure. Prior experience in overseeing design, construction and management of large scale public projects would be a plus. A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university is required; a master's degree is preferred.

Walkthrough written by Samwow5 (Tough Icicle)
Special thanks to: Slanted Fish & Fuzzy-B
Getting a Golden Ticket
First, when you get to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island, talk to Charlie next to the blimp. He says he will do anything for money, then walks away. Follow him all the way to the left, enter into the next area, and go all the way to the left to the payphones. Click on the one on the far left.
You'll get a Silver Coin, and as you walk back to the right, Charlie will walk out of his house unhappily. Follow him, and enter the Corner Shop on Main Street. When you get inside, he is right next to the counter.
Give him your coin so he can buy a Wonka Bar. He asks you to open it for him. Like the polite person you are, you open the candy bar, and behold: a golden ticket!
After you tell Charlie to run, push the people away and exit through the door. A mini-game will follow, where you have to protect Charlie from the chasing townspeople by slowing them down.
The game's pretty easy. Just click on the crates, trash cans, and piles of snow so Charlie doesn't become dead meat!
The next morning, the townspeople are looking for Charlie when a golden ticket flies out of the sky! The townspeople chase after it, and it goes into Charlie's area, where his home is!
Run over to Charlie's area to the left. Follow the ticket all the way up here.
Finally, after all that chasing, you get the Golden Ticket! Gosh, those townspeople must be mad. :D
Go back to Main Street, and run to the right, all the way to the Chocolate Factory. Wow, the townspeople are not even mad. Something's up. Anyway, the gates to the factory open for you.
You go inside the gates, and all the kids who got a Golden Ticket (and their guardians) are there. The factory owner, Willy Wonka, asks for all the tickets, then welcomes each kid into the factory, you among them.
Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory
When you go inside, all the kids except you and Charlie act up and run away. Willy Wonka wants you to find them, and asks you to get him his cane, which is resting in the left corner.
Once you have Willy Wonka's Cane, run all the way to the right and drop down. You can now select which room you want to visit. Click on Chocolate first.
There's a hand above that points which way to go. Follow where the hand tells you to go. After a while the hand leads you to the Chocolate Room, which looks like this (epic picture below by Poptropica artist Nasan Hardcastle):
Chocolate Room
Augustus Gloop, ever the greedy nincompoop, has gone nuts and jumps into the river… and now he's stuck in a chocolate tube.
When you notice that Augustus is stuck, click on the green wheel beside the tube, and Augustus will be pushed a little ways up.
Now Augustus is still stuck at least halfway up. Why are you so fat, Augustus! Why?
Now, you have to use another wheel, located above Augustus and to the right a little. Click on it, and it should shoot him up a little more. Now you have to use the third wheel, located to the far left of Augustus. Click on it.
Then a bunch of Oompa-Loompas will come in and sing about Augustus, escorting Augustus's mother to the Fudge Room to look for her son. Follow them there.
Fudge Room
You'll see Augustus stuck in a tank. Click on the wheel beside him.
He falls down onto the conveyor belt covered with chocolate. Jump all the way to the left onto a platform and click the green button.
Now, he can pass without getting chopped into pieces. He falls down to the next level, when he gets near the Wonka-Oven. Click on the button with blue fire.
When you press the button, the oven should look like this.
Quick! Now, jump onto the platform to the right and click this red button.
Now, when you press the button, the oven should look like this.
He's going to go down to the last level. Click this orange button when he gets to the bigger Wonka-Oven in the last row.
Now when Augustus gets in between the flames, press the next button in line to switch where the flames come out. Make sure not to let the flames touch him.
When you finish, he comes out and leaves. You leave the room too, and come back where you choose a room to go to. Click on the Television Room, and follow the hands until you reach the room.
Television Room
When you get to the TV room, you'll find Willy Wonka teleporting his biggest candy bar through television. Then Mike Teavee decides that he wants to be the first person to be teleported through television. He gets zapped and finds himself in the television across the room.
There's an Oompa-Loompa next to the television. He says he was watching his show but it went on the fritz, so he asks you to adjust the antenna. The antenna should look like this when you're done:
After you fix it, you'll be able to see Mike clearly. An Oompa-Loompa comes onto the screen and leaves with Mike. Go into the Bubblegum Room.
Bubblegum Room
When you get to the bubblegum room, you'll see Mike hung up. The Oompa-Loompa tells you to go to the monitor to try to save Mike. It couldn't hurt anything, right?
Keep adjusting him until it reaches the Poptropican size flashing in the middle of the screen. The claws alternate between stretching him horizontally and vertically, and you can adjust the amount by clicking when the bar in the corner points to either more or less. With each passing turn, he shrinks a little.
Once you've adjusted him as best as you can, go back to the halls and click on the Inventing Room. Follow the hands until you reach the room, and enter.
Inventing Room
Violet Beauregarde is right next to the Gumball Machine. Step on the yellow button in the middle.
Some yellow bubblegum will come out. Violet will chew on it and, quite literally, turn violet! Well, actually, she's supposed to be a blueberry like the dessert she tasted.
The Oompa-Loompas take her to the Juicing Room which is to your right.
Juicing Room
Now you'll have to save Violet. Adjust all the fruits into the right position (follow the picture below):
Click "go", and Violet will be squeezed back to normal size! Next, head to the Nut Room.
Nut Room
Veruca Salt is there, begging her dad for a squirrel. Walk over, and when you pass the squirrels, you'll get a Walnut. Then Veruca jumps up and tries to grab a squirrel. Some squirrels jump on her and push her down a hole. Then they do the same to her father. You jump in after them.
When you get to the room with the incinerator, jump up to the right and grab the Whipped Cream.
Then, pull the chain near the fan. A giant gumball will come out. Push it right to the fan.
Pull the chain again, and push this giant gumball right until it falls into the doorway. This will block the squirrel that might otherwise come out if it were unblocked.
Jump over the giant gumball, then run right and pull the generator switch.
Jump down to the bottom left, where there's another generator and a trash can. Push the bin back left until it is in front of the doorway. Then pull the second generator switch. Also on the bottom floor, pick up the Fizzy Lifting Drink.
Think you're done? Nope, another generator has started up again. Jump up and to the right, you'll see a squirrel turning a wheel. Standing on the platform beside the wheel, use your Walnut. The squirrel will stop, and you'll save Veruca Salt and her dad!
Before you leave, make sure you've grabbed the Whipped Cream and Fizzy Lifting Drink. To get out of the room, use the Fizzy Lifting Drink to lift you up to the exit.
Hi, my name is
Wonka Charlie, and I work in a chocolate factory…
When you go back to the hallway, you will notice that the "Chocolate" on the room selector is blinking. Click that, and follow the hands so you know where to go.
When you arrive, Willy Wonka is there with Charlie Bucket, deciding whether to give the keys to his factory to you or Charlie. Suddenly, the land Charlie was standing on breaks off!
Talk to Willy Wonka and say you want to save him. (You could also say you want the keys, but he'll call you selfish and the Oompa-Loompas will take you away! You'll get to try again, of course.)
Once you decide to save Charlie, a mini-game will begin. Your task is to make your way across the river. You can use the Whipped Cream to help you make temporary platforms for you to hop on. The orange logs are safe for you to jump on for any amount of time. Brown platforms in the river and grass are safe for a short time before they begin to wobble and eventually make you fall into the river if you don't move fast enough. The bigger brown rocks are not as reliable.
Keep going right, and eventually you'll reach Charlie, whom you save with Willy Wonka's cane.
After you save Charlie, Willy Wonka decides to give the factory keys to Charlie, and you get a lifetime supply of chocolate and visiting rights to the factory whenever you want. And, of course, the Island Medallion, in all its red-and-white-striped glory. Congratulations! :D
Bonus Quest Walkthrough
Wonka's three biggest rivals have infiltrated the factory and absconded with his most important recipes! It's your job to take to the skies and bring those recipes back!
In the glass elevator, you fly around the skies. Pick up the floating candy to re-fuel your elevator. Once it is full, click to release the candy to gum up the enemy planes' engines. Do this three times and you'll get the Heli-Gum prize item!

A Day in the Life of a Danish Student
... home team and people would clap and dance along to the music playing. I found it quite interesting that not only can the players receive yellow/red cards, but the coaches as well if they complain too much from the sideline about a call the referee has made. I only saw yellow cards being handed out but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the coach had been red-carded! Apparently, they have to go sit in the stands away from the game to cool-off!
So you think Denmark is quite similar to NZ?
... the problem.
Living in a dorm is also quite different (as I was still living at home before the exchange). It's nice to have your own space (and bathroom!) where you can have some downtime but you can still hang out with those on your floor via the shared dining room/kitchen/lounge if you want. The dorms also have some pretty cool traditions which should make living in them quite fun. They have an event called tour de chambre, ...
... ones. As we threw carrots their way, they reluctantly followed the food to be closer to us.
We walked a bit further, where there was a bigger group. When they realised that we had carrots, they quickly surrounded us. I, as expected, didn't take that very well. Lucky they were more interested in the carrots than in me. Ida held the carrots, and they very much inundated her.
I finally summoned up the courage to feed one a carrot, but ...
Staying in Ander's gorgeous thatched cottage
... hot out of the wind that I nearly got sunburnt again! We were very pooped so had a nan nap before John joined us for a Smoked Salmon dinner. I had mushrooms in little puff pastry cases. We are really getting some magnificent food cooked by a Danish chef! Again the weather was too windy for the boat the next day so we drove to an 18 century windmill made of straw. Then to Anders' sisters summer hosue where ...
7 times world champion!
... But I stayed and got talking to a girl.
Turns out she is 7 time world champion in Unicycle!

Well, I guess you learn something new everyday!!

Live Music and Food
There are two things that are essential to life in Louisiana: Music and food. In the Spring (April and May) and again in the Fall (September and October) the Downtown Business Association in Baton Rouge hosts a series of FREE open-air concerts in Galvez Park/The River Center called "Live After Five". They set up tents and hang lights and speakers from "The Crest" the centerpiece sculpture in the park and enjoy the music in the park from 5 PM to 8 PM each Friday. And once again it is FREE! After the music there are accommodations and restaurants/bars nearby.
Another neat thing to do to get acquainted with Baton Rouge and Louisiana food is to take the 1 mile, 2 1/2 hour Baton Rouge Food Tour. This starts at Poor Boy Lloyd's by the Riverfront and takes you to several locations to sample some of the many dining options in town.

Funeral Carriages and Cast Iron Coffins
When we went through the Rural Life Museum they had some Funeral Carriages (which I had seen before) and also an exhibit of coffins including ones of Cast Iron. This is what the sign inside the horse-drawn hearse said:
Cast Iron Coffins, 1850's
The Fisk Metallic Burial Case was patented in 1848 by New Yorker A.D. Fisk. Early mummiform styles like this one show the influence of Egyptomania in Victorian society. Cast iron coffins were manufactured by the thousands in 17 different styles until the 1880's and have been recovered in 20 states, including California. Newspaper advertisements for the metallic burial cases boasted that they were "air tight and indestructible..for preserving the mortal remains of the departed for an indefinite period of time above or underground." The coffins were especially popular during the Civil War in order to transport fallen soldiers home for interment. Notable nineteenth-century politicians John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Stephen Douglas were also laid to rest in metallic burial cases.
The Rural Life Museum's three coffins were exhumed from a family tomb in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery in Thiboudaux, Louisiana in 1992 by a team of experts working with Louisiana State University. The individuals buried inside were wealthy Acadians Celeste Leontine Gaudet Lacaperre (1824-1852); her sister Clemence Elizabeth Gaudet Tucker Evans (1821-1857) and Clemence's son Daniel Pennington Wade Tucker (1836-1852). Unlike most of the metallic burial cases recovered, these had remained intact since interment, so that the clothing, jewelry and flowers inside were well preserved and the bodies themselves (now reburied) had become mummified. Three xxx of the coffins' contents are held by...

Say Sir or Ma'am
After living here in Louisiana for about 18 months I've come to realize how important it is for people here to be addressed as "sir" or "ma'am" or in some form of respectful address.
It's also very common to address someone with a prefix of "Miss" or "Mr." before their FIRST name if you use it.
i.e: I would be called "Miss Angie" by people who are familiar with my first name, my husband would be addressed as "Mr. Paul".
It took a while to get used to it but now I like it---it has a gentle, respectful sound to it.

Sports Fan-atics!!!
Baton Rouge may very well be the US sport-aholic capital. Everything revolves around the athletes, the teams, and the sports fan. Roads are closed, traffic diverted, business hours changed all in the sake of game availability. Its a sight to behold. There are numerous sports websites devoted to the teams; the official one being: http://www.lsusports.net/
Football is the main game here, but the baseball team and track teams may be even better. The track teams (men and women) have won 26 National Championships since 1986!! Baseball won 5 out of ten years in the 90's and 00's. Football finally won its first championship since before I was born...
OF COURSE they would do this when I am overseas and not able to watch a single friggin' game!!
Even the off-season is not an off-season as the entire city tracks recruiting and other LSU squads like softball and gymnastics.
Not everyone in Louisiana...
Not everyone in Louisiana knows French or lives in the swamp. Baton Rougians speak suprisingly accent-less American English, especailly compared to New Orleanians (they sound like New Yorkers) or to North Louisianians (they just sound country).
A couple of tips regarding dining...these are based on my experience with out-of-town guests...
You usually leave payment at your table at restaurants.
Grits are a breakfast food. You can't just have one (I know someone who, when ordering breakfast added, 'and one grit, please). It's like a grain.
If you hear someone ask you if you want 'bold' crawfish or shrimp, they are saying boiled. Say yes.
We here in Louisiana are of a...
We here in Louisiana are of a friendly nature. We NEVER meet a stranger! People you have never met before will say hello to you as you walk by them on the street, in the store, where ever! Some will even start up a conversation with you! So dont be surprised if you find your self talking to a complete stranger and he talks to you like he has known you for years!

Congratulations to Nichole Airhart! She is the winner of our trip to Las Vegas to see Daughtry on Valentine's Day.
We all fell in love with Chris Daughtry when he sang into our hearts on American Idol. I mean c'mon we all knew he was going to win. Then came the ill-fated night and he was voted off. The world was in an uproar. Well Chris went on and gave us Daughtry (while the winner of that season fell off the face of the Earth, who was it anyway?). Here are my Top 5 Daughtry songs.
I have never been to Las Vegas (I don't think sitting in the airport counts). Here are a few things that I think would be cool in Vegas. So I created sort of a Las Vegas bucket list to experience before I die. Plus, since Daughtry will be playing in Vegas on Valentine's Day that could be a plus to this bucket list.
Like love songs that aren't afraid to rock? Looking for a romantic getaway with a little less candlelight and a little more neon light? Then we've got the rock and roll Valentine's Day getaway for you.
Happy Anniversary to our sister state to the west of us, New Mexico.

AJAX -- What started out as a 'monumental' task has gotten even bigger.
The Ajax Bomb Girls Legacy Campaign started off with the goal of recognizing the efforts made by women who worked at Defence Industries Limited during the Second World War. However, "It's become much more than that," said Colleen Jordan.
"The goal of the campaign was to raise money for a monument. It's become much more than that. People are sending us information about family members from all across Canada," said the Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor and chairwoman of the campaign during a council meeting.
Kaitlin Ireland, the history records co-ordinator for the campaign, has been interviewing some of the women who worked at DIL, information which will be available on DVD.
About 7,000 women worked at DIL and they were "dedicated to the service to their country," she told councillors.
In one interview, 'bomb girl' Clara Lucier said, "I'm glad we contributed our little bit to get the boys back home. We just did our job and I'm glad we did it."
In an interview, Ms. Ireland said it's fascinating "talking to older people. Their stories are so interesting."
The 'bomb girls' had to step out of their comfort zone and leave their homes to work at DIL, she noted.
"I can't put myself in their situation. It was very hard," Ms. Ireland added.
Many of the women would have been in their early 20s when they left home and came to Ajax.
"Most people today think of 21 year olds as girls. Most gave up things for the good of the country," she said, adding many of the women put their lives, education and marriages on hold to "work for the war."
Ms. Ireland, 22, is doing a double major in history and education at York University, hoping to be a teacher.
"My focus has been on Canadian history. I had to do a research major," so she decided to do it on women working during the war, she said.
Working on the bomb girls campaign is "appropriate because it's so close to home. Over the (Christmas) holiday I worked for Ajax" on the DIL women.
"I'll see where that goes," she added.
Asked if she could have done what they did, Ms. Ireland noted, "It's hard to say. It was a different time. What they did was admirable. I think of myself and my friends. I don't think I could place myself there."
Thus far, she's interviewed four DIL workers and there are about a dozen to be interviewed.
"As of now, I'm hoping to continue the interviews," Ms. Ireland said.
One aim is to introduce the videos into schools.
A life-long Ajax resident, "that's where my deep appreciation of history" came from, particularly local history, Ms. Ireland said.
Coun. Jordan told council, "The committee is busy fundraising to build a monument to commemorate the women who worked at Defence Industries Limited."
A monument will be erected in Pat Bayly Square, being built at the southwest corner of Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street.
Ward 4 Local Councillor Pat Brown said just more than $70,000 has been raised so far, with the goal being $250,000.
The monument would be a "larger-than-life figure of a DIL worker."

, which develops vaccines to combat hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, and infectious pathogens such as the herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV) HIV.
The prospect of an effective CMV vaccine means significant benefits for immunocompromised patients such as those with AIDS, or stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients. A therapeutic CMV peptide vaccine developed in the department is undergoing phase II human efficacy testing in City of Hope stem cell transplant recipients, while a second generation CMV vaccine based on the attenuated poxvirus MVA, or modified vaccinia Ankara, is currently undergoing phase I human safety testing.
A vaccine developed in the department also based on the MVA platform expressing unmutated p53 has completed phase I human testing in City of Hope gastrointestinal cancer patients. In the laboratory, we are refining a therapeutic platform based on attenuated Salmonella bacterium to treat a range of malignancies including pancreatic, skin and brain cancers. In collaboration with Peter Barry, Ph.D., of University of California at Davis and the National Primate Research Center, we are developing a prophylactic CMV vaccine that promises to control gestational infection that causes a wide range of birth defects that annually afflict close to 4,000 American children.
