Immigration History Film Clips
The anonymous journalist opened this 1935 magazine article explaining how the Indian caste system took root and reasoned as to why he believed such a system was an inevitability in the United States as well.
"With the California Council on Oriental Relations waging an eloquent campaign for repeal of the Japanese Exclusion Act, a quota-basis solution is suggested."

It is difficult to imagine in our time that there was once a moment in time when there were strict standards that had to be met in matters involving immigration quotas:
"...many would-be immigrants arriving at the port of New York had been refused admission and been sent home again, because they had happened to arrive a few hours after their country's legal quota for the month..."
An article by Atomic Age immigrant Juanita Wegner testifying as to her undying gratitude that she should be permitted to live in a nation with so many freedoms. Having spent much of her life on the run from the Fascists of Austria, Italy and Argentina, Wegner stated:
"For all my life I've wanted to be an American. I've dreamed about it, studied, worked for it...I've been an American for only a few days. But if I could have one wish it would be to go up to everybody I meet and say: 'Aren't we lucky to have this chance! Let's never forget it.'"
This 1938 magazine article can be filed in the "the more things change, the more they stay the same folder". It lists all the assorted means by which Mexicans have attempted to illegally cross over the Southern border, whether to smuggle others, import illegal drugs or for their own gratification.
"One day up the road somewhere about Chula Vista, the speed cops bore down on a young Mexican driver who was singing loudly and twisting all over the highway.""He came out of his car fighting like a Sonoran javilina, conked one of the policemen and laid him out cold, drew a gun and would have killed the other one but for a snappy bit jiu jitsu application..."
Marijuana was becoming a problem in 1938, too. Read about it here.
"The Immigration Act of 1924 denied admission to the United States to wives of American citizens if these wives are of a race ineligible for citizenship. Hindus, Chinese and Japanese are ineligible. Hence the curious and cruel fact that while an Oriental merchant with his wife may enter America, the wedded wife of an American-born citizen is held at the coast for deportation."

I'm going to try making these for a party but have a couple of questions. Is there any portion of the recipe that you can make ahead? Have you tried them in mini-muffin tins?
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Jessica, Thank you for stopping by. Nothing in this recipe needs to be made ahead of head time. Of course though, if you want to prepare your dough the night before you can. You definitely can use mini-muffin tins. Of course though you won't need 1-inch dough balls...probably 1/2 inch or however much necessary to cover the bottom and sides of the tins. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! :)

While closing one night I saw a barred owl standing in the water and pondered, What is that owl doing? A few moments later I watched as the owl took several drinks of water. I snapped some pictures with my phone and shared them with Keeper Kent who says he's never seen an owl drink water before. Kent has been a keeper here for a long time so if he hasn't seen owls drink then most of our readers haven't either. In fact owls get most of the moisture they need from the prey they eat, so this is a rare sight. Enjoy the pictures below.

I'm extremely excited to be working at the Museum since October 2010. My favorite part of this job- besides working with the animals- is listening to all of the Keeper stories, I hear a new one each day. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, belly dancing, and vegan cooking.
I work Sunday through Thursday. I can be found mostly behind the scenes or training the Ring Tail Lemurs.

Which owl is that? I'm glad s/he is standing with her/his "good side" to the camera.

If you come in at 7am you can see at least one of them drinking on most mornings. 1 Wing will also often play with the mulch in the mornings throwing it all over the place!

There is high demand for the physician assistant (PA) profession, as physician assistants (PAs) help to fill the gap in a projected shortage of primary care physicians. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the number of PAs will increase 30% in 10 years. Interest in the profession is also very high, as PA has been named Best Master's Degree for Jobs by Forbes and 2nd Best Job in America by CNN Money.
In response to pending local and national primary care provider shortages and the changing healthcare industry, the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) Board of Regents approved the new Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies academic program in 2012.
The EMU PA Program is situated in the School of Health Promotion and Human Performance, within the College of Health and Human Services. The PA Program is a twenty-four month, full-time, year-round graduate professional program with the first class of students starting in May 2014. This program will prepare its graduates to be certified and licensed to practice medicine using autonomous decision making under the supervision of a physician. The EMU PA Program assists students in developing critical thinking and patient-centered problem-solving skills with a practical focus to prepare them for the experiences they will encounter upon graduation. We seek to not just produce physician assistants, but rather to create highly respected ambassadors of the PA profession.
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Eastern Michigan University Physician Assistant Program.
Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status. The status indicates that the plans and resource allocation for the proposed program appear to demonstrate the program's ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards, if fully implemented as planned. Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class. Accreditation-Provisional remains in effect until the program achieves Accreditation-Continued after its third review, closes or withdraws from the accreditation process, or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards.

matetsi lions
This is a discussion on matetsi lions within the Hunts OFFERED or WANTED Worldwide forums, part of the Hunting Forums - Hunting in Africa category; I was thinking about starting to look at putting together my safari for next year and figure the best place ...
matetsi lions
I was thinking about starting to look at putting together my safari for next year and figure the best place to start inquiring was right here on ah.
First off I had a friend hunt the matetsi block back in 2008. He saw many lions with massive manes and was completely impressed with them. I've been wanting to hunt a free range lion for some time but have not liked the looks of most free range lions. However, I now believe my friend about the matetsi lions and I am looking toward martin Pieter to book a possible hunt for next year. My only draw backs as of now are that martin Pieter has one lion on his website for 2012 and the lion hardly has a mane. Is this the typical type of lion taken in matetsi? If not does anyone know what the lions look like in matetsi. What can I expect to get. Im assuming that for the price people want for matetsi lions that they must have some very massive manes and provide one heck of a hunt? are any of my suspicions true?
Secondly, I am still looking to shoot my first buffalo. I don't really expect Zimbabwe to have a buffalo I would consider taking but while Im on the subject why not ask you guys as well. I've put it in my mind that I will not shoot a buffalo unless he meets my exact criteria. He going to have to be at least 42" wide. He going to have to have a lot of mass in his horns in the curl and not just in the boss. Hes going to have to have a very deep drop and a lot of curl back inward. Lastly he has to have flat boss's not the knobby boss's you see on most buffalo. In short, I am looking for a very specific look and I wont deviate as I want this to be a challenge. I spent the last 8 years chasing my eland before finally taking my dream eland. Now I need another trophy to seek. I've decided that a buffalo with this look will be my buffalo.
Can any of you lend any help towards answering my questions about the matetsi lions martin hunts?
The other hunt I was looking at doing was a trophy elephant hunt in Tanzania. I was thinking about taking my wife there to find a long tusker and do a massive buffalo hunt for myself and try and see if Tanzania might have my buffalo. I've been told the buffalo I see may be in the area hunted by runguwa safaris. Do they have massive buffalo and ele?
Thanks in advance.

I too have heard great stories about Lions in that part of Zim, but you know what they say about high expectations don't you?
My sister always told me nobody has higher expectations in life than you, the problem is you expect the same from everyone else. That is a HUGE problem for me and I have tried let go of expectations in life and go with the flow.
Maybe you'll see one or you don't....it ain't the olden days in Zim anymore!
As far as elephants there are definitely some giants in Tanzania and Mozambique. I personally wouldn't worry about taking the tusks home. Ivan could set you up in Tanzania. I tell you this much watching "track and trail adventures" I saw some GIANTS on film, no one would shoot them because as a USA resident you couldn't import them. If I was doing one elephant hunt and money was no question, I'd probably go there.
I'll tell you one thing I do know film don't lie...for the most part.
hmmmmmm, never thought of that. I have several of my crews that are working for me with green cards. I can ship that beast to mexico for taxidermy. Heck I live right on the border. lol

I watched Ivan's hunt in Masailand, Tanzania a few times, definitely some big long ivory.
The non exportable elephants from Moz, where thick and long. I think them are living longer because they have anti poaching camp managers and the fact the big boys aren't hunting them because of USA regulations.

My wife is fine with rsa. However i dont see myself hunting africa much longer if i cant find a challenge. Ive been chasing free range elk in the us for 12 years now. Ive yet to kill my 400" bull. Lets just say i put a lot of boot leather down for elk. The most challenging animal ive found close to that is a 60" kudu and a true blue eland. I can always see myself coming back to hunt those as they are most definitely a true challenge but grocery shopping is something i dont care to do. I want big things because representative animals arent hard and i want a challenge. Im sorry if i have offended you and you think im a grocery shopper or someone of that sort. I simply eat sleep and breathe hunting. If it makes you feel any better i own a dozen anims that would make top ten sci. Not a single animal i ever kill will be entered. I hunt for the "kid at christmas" feel i get from it and when the day comes that it no longer excites me i will hopefully live those same memories through the eyes of my kids who i hope are as adimant about hunting as i am. Now as for my original question, i would "like" an opportunity at a large maned lion. Do those possibilities exist in matetsi?

if money were no object I would look at the Sabie area in Mozambique for the lion.
for the buffalo you may want to contact one of the outifts that get kruger park buffalo permits, they shoot some big buffalo there but it will cost you. Other than that probably Western Tanzania

The lion on Martin's website is from the Omay. There are some very nice lions on Matetsi. You contact Martin or Tim Farren (Tim416) as to the availibility of lion hunts on Matetsi (at least in their areas). My guess is 2014 and 2015 is sold out in that area. Another good area is Bubye Valley Conservancy. Yes it is fenced, over 1,000,000 acres or 1600 square miles. It is as free range as any area in Africa. Quota is very limited and probably sold out for the next couple of years. John Sharp, Martin Nel, Pete Fick, or Shaun Buffee is who you would want to deal with on the BVC for lion.
This is an example of the quality of the lions. It was taken last year.
In regards to the buffalo that may be a tough bill to fill if I understand what you are looking for.
Look at these three buffalo I shot.
Buffalo one is from the Selous. It is probably the youngest. Around 38", wide boss, good drop, swept back horns.
Buffalo two is from Mozambique. Around 49" Smoother boss not as much sweep back, decent drop, probably two years older than buffalo one.
Buffalo three (two pictures) is from Omay South. Around 40" It is about as old as a buffalo can be and still have horns. The boss is smooth, it did have good drop, but it has no sweep in the horns.
My point is a young buffalo will have its horns swept back. As they become older they look more like buffalo number three. I have found in my experience the older the buffalo the smoother the boss. Others may have different experience.
Buffalo two mounted
Wow that lion is absolutely amazing. If that's the type I can possibly get in the matetsi I will definitely have to look toward martin for a hunt. I spoke with John Sharp last year about leopard and various other hunts. I don't know about his lion but his leopards in 2012 were sold out all the way until 2015. I would think he lions would be in higher demand than that. I could be several years waiting on john sharp. I was mainly wanting to know the quality of the matetsi lion as I met martin in las vegas last year and he seems like the type of guy I would like to hunt with. Hopefully martin can save me a lion tag and I can go hunting with him next year. We will see.
Thanks for the replies. I do appreciate them very much.

Tap I personally hunted a 48" and a 47,5" on Mtimkulu with Johan these two were taken in a matter 2 days by the same client after this I successfully hunted a 46 and 2 x 44" connecting with a 42" + should not be to hard,,,, go early Around March to April... You should be extremely happy with the result....
My best always.
Jaco do you have any pics of those buff?

I do as I recall Johan had them on his site as well, I am in town as we speak but will be happy to forward them to you as soon as I get in front of my desk later tonight or in the morning....
My best always
We have had one lion per year on quota until this year, (2013) Parks and Wildlife has allotted us an additional male lion for this year as well as 2014. I have attached a photo of last years lion. This is indicative of what we have been shooting in unit 1
Buffalo average 38" with good bosses. Last year we took eighteen buffalo and seven were over forty. With this being said,
the average still lands in the 38" class. We still have one lion left for 2014 due to it just a short time ago being added to the quota.
Here are a few pictures of buff from the past couple of seasons.
If you want more info let me know and I will e-mail you.
do you have more lion pics from the matetsi area that you guys have been taking?

Doesn't anyone ever want to delete a song on the shuffle? I saw nothing about the most obvious needs of any user. I am using iTunes 11 and the icon shows up but there is no intuitive way to see what the hell is in it. Click on manage settings in ipod at top of screen and NOTHING HAPPENS.
Highlight and right click gives you a bunch of options you don't give a damn about. Was this steve jobs little joke on us....? |

Event Calendar - Google .ics import - Time Issues
2 October 2009 at 5:16pm
I am having a problem importing my Google Calendar(.ics) into the Event Calendar Module and displaying the correct time. I am using SS2.3.3 with the latest trunk build of the event calendar module (r82). Below is an excerpt from my _config file:
Object::add_extension('LeftAndMain', 'CalendarScriptInit');
Calendar::set_param('timezone', 'US-Eastern');
CalendarDateTime::set_time_format('12');Currently, the events that are showing up on the page imported by the Event Calendar module are off by 4hours. I have attempted to modify the offset which should be correct for EST but it seems to have no affect on the imported .ics file. Below are links to the public calendar I am attempting to import:
XML: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/6ba0alacitu7l8rm6tkt1hg7pk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic
iCal: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/6ba0alacitu7l8rm6tkt1hg7pk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
xHTML: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=6ba0alacitu7l8rm6tkt1hg7pk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_YorkImplementation: http://ruckuspizza.com/cary_nc/ruckus-events/
I also just noticed a few other problems:
Some events are not showing up at all
When filtering the events, it still displays events not within the specified time frame.
In the actual XML feed it appears that multiple timezones are being used such as EDT. I have reviewed the timezone in the google calendar settings and it is set correctly to Eastern Specific.I appreciate any input on this issue and will provide any additional details as needed.

This is unfortunately one of the neglected features of EventCalendar due to lack of testers, so thanks for taking the time to kick the tires a bit.
The events not being filtered properly was caused by a bug I had fixed, but realized I had never checked in. So if you update your SVN, you should get that fix.
I have your ICS running on the demo site here http://eventcalendar.bluehousegroup.com/. Can you tell me what I should be looking for? Which times are wrong? What events are missing? I'll do my best to help you out.

Hi Uncle Cheese,
Thank you for your time and assistance. I have been reading your previous post and appreciate the support you provide to the community.
I have compiled a quick & dirty image displaying which events are not being shown in the calendar (indicated in pink) and which events are displayed but with the incorrect time (indicated in blue). It appears the times are off by -4 hours. The majority of the events that are not displayed are repeat events. I included an example of the full event details for both cases. I believe I mentioned before that I noticed different timezones in the RSS feed, below is an excerpt:

This certainly raises a lot of questions. First thing I see is that the ICS is coming in with the wrong times, so this may be a Google setting we don't know about. You'll notice the Uroz wine tasting comes in with the times 4 hours off:

SUMMARY:Uroz Wine Tasting
END:VEVENTSecond thing is that the events that aren't showing up are getting cut because their start dates are our of range.
Let's look at Smokin' Saturdays as an example:
SUMMARY:Smokin' Saturdays
END:VEVENTIt comes in with a start/end date in September instead of tomorrow.
Also notice in your vCalendar header that there are two parameters for timezone:
TZOFFSETTO:-0500That may have something to do with it.
I don't have any answers, but at least we know we can fix it from within the feed.
Re: Event Calendar - Google .ics import - Time Issues
23 December 2009 at 12:50pm
The issue here is Google exports the time of all their events in UTC (GMT, Zulu, universal time, or whatever you want to call it) even though they specify the time zone in their .ics file. Don't ask me why.
The solution is to offset their time by your local time offset. In event_calendar/code/CalendarUtil.php line 153 replace the function date_info_from_ics with this code:
public static function date_info_from_ics($dtstart, $dtend)
$myOffset = '+1 hours';
$startTimestamp = strtotime($dtstart.$myOffset);
$start_date = date('Y-m-d', $startTimestamp);
$start_time = date('H:i:s', $startTimestamp);
$endTimestamp = strtotime($dtend.$myOffset);
$end_date = date('Y-m-d', $endTimestamp);
$end_time = date('H:i:s', $endTimestamp);return array($start_date, $end_date, $start_time, $end_time);
}Now the time offset works a little funny, I have to set "+1 hours" as the $myOffset variable to get Eastern Standard Time (-5 hours). I haven't had the time to dig into why it works like this, but this is a quick and dirty solution to this problem.
This fix can definitely be improved. If we could get the time offset from the _config.php file that would be nice, or even use the time zone from Google's .ics file. I'll try to look into this if I get time. The big annoyance with this is that I am going to have to change the offset when daylight savings time comes around, and events visible on the calendar after a daylight savings time change will show the incorrect time.

Disregard the last paragraph I wrote if you are importing from Google Calendar. After a little testing this morning (my eyes were sore from staring at code last night) it turns out Google makes the DST shift for us in the .ics file. So if you are importing from Google my above solution will work just fine year-round.
If you are importing from some calendar other than Google you should test this.
I would still like to figure out how to get the time zone offset from _config.php.

Is there any way to import events from a CSV file? I need to import events from a CSV file.
And also I need to import from ICS file instead of giving the url in CMS admin. -

Uncle Cheese,
I'm having the same problem with the date being 5 hours ahead - the date of the event should be 8 pm on Dec 8th, but it is showing as 1:00 am on Dec 9th. I've imported the .ics from our GroupWise Master Calendar, and it works beautifully, but for the time offset being wrong. I did check the offset in the _config.php, but the .ics data remains unaffected. I also tried the code that coffeymachine suggested but it threw errors.
I see there wasn't really a resolution other than that Google does compensate, but I'm not using Google. (I tried to attach the .ics file I'm using but got "server error".)"I would still like to figure out how to get the time zone offset from _config.php." - is this possible to correct?
Thanks so much.

Flash Vs. HDR For Interiors And Real Estate Photography, Part II: Mood And Color Case Study
About six months ago, I wrote a piece comparing flash techniques to HDR and ambient-only techniques when shooting for architecture and interiors clients. There was some great discussion involved and many valid points raised, and I'd like to take a few minutes to bring up another scenario that really shows the benefits of using flash whenever possible when dealing with interior or architectural situations.

This section of the Tolkien Society site is for teachers, lecturers and other facilitators of learning.
I am teaching LOTR in my Sunday School class and would like to search for and contribute strategies for engaging 9-12 learners in critical thinking.
A church group or Sunday School could listen to excerpts from the BBC adaptation or Rob Inglis' reading, or read sections out loud together, or read them between classes. They could then look at the moral issues which are involved. This can be driven by the class - for example 'A Long Expected Party' could lead to discussion on joy, community, moral courage, gluttony, etc. etc.
It can be illuminating to read the book 'in real time' - that is, matching dates in the book to real-world dates, as there are some nice coincidences between important LotR dates and church dates - no, not coincidences - planned intersections.
Ideas for Library Events and for teaching Citizenship, particularly at Key Stage 4, could also be used.
Please remember to let us know what has worked well with your church group so we can expand this page!

This year, we returned to Hooters in Orlando to kick off the Fun Ford Weekend season. The turnout was amazing, and we can't thank you enough for allowing this event to, once again, be a success. We hope to see you next year, so save up your pennies for some junk tires to completely destroy and return to their original elements!
Here are some of the images taken that night. Enjoy!

We searched all over the Finger Lakes for the best site for our winery and it just happened to be our first stop. The Village of Naples is a historic spot loaded with many years of grape history, grape pie, wine, artists and music. We are passionate people who constantly work to capture the true characteristics of the vineyards where our wines are developed. It is in the land and the people who cultivate the flavors, that the artistry of our wine begins.
Our winery is situated on the historical center where Naples was founded, where once the Seneca Indians called it Nundawao. Of local folklore, the winery was previously a tavern, a stagecoach stop and then finally a carriage house. We transformed the original structure using reclaimed timbers from the Northeast, creating a more energy efficient, beautifully crafted, working winery.
Inspire Moore is a boutique winery producing a few thousand cases of Finger Lakes appellation wines whose focus is on aromatic varietal whites, vintage driven varietal reds, ice wine and blends that are defined by small lot production.
