Rancid as a band have always been imbued with a sense of place: the blue collar neighborhoods where they grew up in Berkley, California, their place as individuals within their band, their band as part of a movement and their evolving sense of place in relation to the world at large.
Born in the midst of the post-Reagan economic downturn in the San Francisco Bay Area, the East Bay region specifically, Rancid came to light as Armstrong and Freeman were moving forward after the first band they founded, Operation Ivy, reached a friendly demise. As Rancid, the band took up the torch of social commentary and the examination of the local scene and instantly inflamed the newly revived punk community, setting the stage for what was to come.
To date, the band has released numerous bodies of work, including 7 full-length albums - Rancid (1993), Let's Go (1993), …And Out Come The Wolves (1995), Life Won't Wait (1998), Rancid (2000), Indestructible (2003), and Let The Dominos Fall (2009). 2013 will find the band releasing their 8th full-length album.
After having seen the American dream dwindle and fade within their country, community and homes, Rancid put their description of its aftermath into their songs. Each album has served as a layer cementing Rancid's natural place in punk. Their lyrical themes established their identity in the punk rock world while musically they incorporated horns, rockabilly bass lines, reggae rhythms, rasp, and distortion. Balancing their personal tales of love, loss, and heartbreak with attitude, Rancid gave their listeners a community.
Over the past 2 decades, Rancid has shown awareness of their changing environment and have established their place in it, all while never losing sight of themselves as individuals or as a band.

Renaissance Mannerist Silver Gilt Belt
Mannerism is a term that refers to the later part of the 16th century style of the arts. Later Renaissance art, architecture and decorative arts have certain characteristic features which identify it as mannerist. Mannerist has also comes to mean the final high and developed phases of an artistic movement. This is a marriage belt or girdle in the mannerist style. The material is silver with a fire gold gilt finish that is remarkable in that is it still intact after these many centuries. The patina and wear are one of the first things you notice about this rare work. Patina is one of the most tactile and visual of the delights of earlier jewelry. Nothing renders metal, wood or other surfaces more delicious than the touch of a thousand hands caressing its surfaces over time.
The second is the heft and sheer weight of its construction – all 230 grams (8.1 ounces of silver). It is a substantial and weighty artifact from another time and place. The belt's origins are most likely in the German region. This was a belt made specifically for someone's marriage – most likely in a rural region. The form is traditional "peasant" jewelry. This was commissioned once a young woman was betrothed to her intended. The jeweler used finely carved wooden molds to cast these various piece and then hand finished the entire belt. What we have here is the main part of the belt. Additionally there was a separate buckle and also some dangling chains, now lost.
Quite rare, this consists of two types of plaques – one is a mannerist style cartouche of central oval surrounded by beaded gold work in a square area. Surrounding this are a quatrefoil (four) scrolled elements that are highly textured and detailed. The other elements are casts of an ancient coins - these must have been taken from actual Roman coins, including what appears to be a Republican denarii, the denarius of L Cornelius Sulla (82/81BC), a Macedonian teradrachm and a coin with the head of the Emperor Hadrian. Each coin is then encircled by a snaking band the twists and ends in an openwork half circle. Each coin is then encircled by a snaking band the twists and ends in an openwork half circle. Front and back images are present of each coin, each individual in itself. The reverse images are particular poetic with chariots, animals, seated figures and battle images.
There is a hand-made three part hinge and most delightfully, the skilled metal smiths made individual hinge covers which swivel and hide each actual hinge. Every one distinct, each is highly ornate and textured. The entire belt terminates with two hooks. The decoration chosen was leaves, roses and that Renaissance icon, the dolphin head curved to form part of the closure for the belt. Each hook has an open eye.
The reverse tells a story unto itself. The maker having placed his very personal marks upon each element to note which piece later would join with what piece. Unusual marks that resemble letter, or numbers, yet have such an medieval feel to them. Each deeply etched into the silver on each side of the hinges. There is also a hallmark, an SI within a heart shape. This mark so far has been untraceable even with a great deal of research but similar marks are German in origin.
Fascinating to note that while this style dates to the later part of the 16th century, this belt could be up to 100 years later. Marriage belts in the provincial regions did not change style for generations. In addition, molds were very expensive to have carved so molds were utilized for generations of jewelry, who would pass on their molds to the next younger silver and gold smiths.
This ultimate expression of a jeweler's art is a masterpiece to be studied and yet is sturdy enough to be worn. It is a simple matter to string silken cords or leather thongs through each open eye at each terminal end and tie these artistically together to lengthen and make this practical to wear. Alternately, this is a show piece for any collector – whether worn or displayed.
Measurements: 25 3/8 of an inch long by just under 1 inch at the widest (64.4 cm by 2.5 cm wide).
Condition: Very good with one hinge cover missing. One plaque upside down as earlier repair to a hinge was not undertaken as carefully as one would hope – although this could be easily fixed we have chosen for the moment to leave its history intact. One modern repair to a hinge's connection. Again, missing separate buckle and chains. Patina is excellent and gilding extraordinary. Rare. Please email us for further photos and condition if desired.

A work in progress, this edition of American Film Scripts Online contains 776 scripts by 856 writers together with detailed information on the scenes, characters and people related to the scripts. Users can search by subject (topics, events, places) as well as by character name, writer, film title, and people (actors, director, producers) When complete, the collection will include more than 1,000 scripts and over 100,000 scenes of life as portrayed in the movies.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

God the Cosmic Gardener
I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
I began to imagine God taking delight in watching the universe slowly unfold and grow, much like my wife and I delight in the slow transformation of seeds into a bountiful harvest.
If I studied science, allowed my intellect to thrive, and continued the pursuit of understanding how things work, I was convinced that I would be condemning my soul and forsaking my faith.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!

Component release changelog
After a couple of months of painful testing by my trusty team of madmen, it's time to make the first proper public release of my waveform seekbar.
It's an UI element for both the Default UI and Columns UI that provides seekbar functionality (seeking, position indicator) on top of a pretty image of the waveform of the currently playing song, drawn using either Direct3D 9.0c, Direct2D 1.0 or GDI+.
The Direct3D 9.0c mode requires a PS2.0 capable card, and has some support for strange cards like the Intel 945. The HLSL effect (in the effects directory) can be modified using any text editor to further customize the look.
To avoid having to scan tracks on the fly, the component can extract the waveform signature of a song in advance through a context menu item. The process works in the background and resumes after closing foobar2000. It will automatically analyse the currently playing song and songs that follow it in the playback order, which should give an appearance of always having the visuals available.
The seekbar has three frontends and some per-instance customizable settings accessible through the UI element context menu, as well as seeking functionality if you click and drag, like the regular seekbar.
If your machine is not capable of running the Direct3D9 or Direct2D modes, the GDI+ mode should work as a fallback on any machine that foobar2000 can run on, as it only requires Windows XP and GDI+.
foo_wave_seekbar component page
The Direct3D 9.0c mode requires the DirectX end-user runtime dated earliest February 2010, which can be installed through use of the DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer (make sure to not accidentally install the Bing Bar they try to force on you).
Note that the DirectX redistributable is required on all OSes no matter whether you think you "have DirectX installed already, lol" or not.
The Direct2D 1.0 mode requires either Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 and up. For Vista SP2 it requires installation of the Platform Update.
Versions over 0.2.12 require the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (x86) runtime.
Versions starting from 0.2.35 through 0.2.38 require the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 (x86) runtime installed. If you're the kind of person who for some reason cannot run the installer, as a fallback solution you can put in the msvcr110.dll and msvcp110.dll from this download location manually in your PATH or in the foobar2000 application directory. Note that if you put them in the foo_wave_seekbar directory, they will be removed whenever the component is updated.
- Download the above zip file.
- Install the dependencies needed as per the Links section above.
- Drag the zip file onto the foobar2000 components pane in the preferences or navigate to it with the Install button as with any other component.
- Highlight one or more files in your playlist. Rightclick on them and select "Extract Seekbar Signature"
- Add UI element to the Default UI or Columns UI as normal
- The backing storage does not know or care about file operations like moving, renaming and such. In order to remove dead items from the storage or compact the storage, there are menu items for that under the Library main menu.
Future changes:
- Lots.

From Green Right Now Reports
Hershey's Kisses don't have such a huggable reputation this Valentine's Day with the campaign to get a commitment from Hershey on child labor still unresolved. The U.S. candy maker has not responded to calls from human rights activists for assurances that Hershey's cocoa bean suppliers in West Africa are not exploiting child labor. (Read more about this issue.)
So let's find some sweets and Valentine Day treats that are ethically and fairly produced. The best way to assure that you're supporting the right labor practices is to buy Fair Trade products. Unfortunately, your Main Street grocery and nearby Big Box chain store may not offer much in the way of Fair Trade.
But don't worry, you can find many Fair Trade goodies, including delectable chocolate and other sweetheart gifts at your local Fair Trade store. The Fair Trade Federation carries a listing of stores that sell Fair Trade chocolate and other goods. And if you don't have a Fair Trade store near you, don't panic, you may still be able to find individual products at many boutiques and green stores.
Or you can look online. The Global Exchange store features Fair Trade gift baskets packaged in eco-friendly ways. Here are some of our picks for Valentine's:
Divine Chocolate. This brand lives up to its name and it provides a fair wage to African cocoa farmers who supply and produce Divine. This chocolate comes in a variety of flavors — all good — and doesn't cost much more than comparable premium bars with fuzzier labor backgrounds. If you can't find Divine, or another Fair Trade chocolate, you can look for popular brand names that have made a commitment to sourcing their chocolate responsibly. See Green America's Chocolate Scorecard for a ranking of how brands are doing on fair wage and labor issues.
Flowers. Practical greenies will want a plant that can be committed to the garden after its gifting.
A fresh new source for beautiful Organic flowers is California Organic Flowers, which are not just retailed, but grown right here in the U.S. These flowers can be send ASAP to anyone in the country, spreading nature's beauty without worries that they depended upon pesticides and chemical preservatives. The beauty of these bouquets may just transfix your intended. Check out the Mixed Anemones Bouquet (above) set to open their blooms upon arrival.
But if you've got a traditional streak, look for roses from Organic Bouquet. Their Esperance Crown Roses (below) present beautiful cream and pink-tipped petals to the world. They're longer lasting and verifiably kinder to the environment.

Not too sure about employing martial arts technique into the sport, but I can imagine it benefiting in terms of reaction time, quickness, balance and sense of focus. I've heard stories that martial arts benefiting some athletes in other sports.
No they shouldn't cause Steven Seagal never played football. Not only that, his blocks and techniques don't equate to the game.

I am looking for a translation of a passage in The Visuddhimagga it is in the section XIII.28. So far I can have only found it in roman lettering. The part of the passage I want reads "The mental and material are really here. But there is no humanity to be found. For it is void and merely fashioned like a doll. Just suffering piled up from grass and sticks."
It would be extremely valuable to me personally to have the translation, which I am finding very hard to find. And I would also be extremely grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction in terms of finding it.

Using durably waterproof/breathable and windproof 2-layer polyester GORE-TEX® fabric, our redesigned Piolet Jacket is now more comfortable and functional than ever.
The construction of 2-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to an outer material, then combined with a free-flowing lining. The benefit: a soft, lightweight garment that keeps you dry and lets you move freely.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

The storyline was preposterous and there was no point to it. I was expecting more quick witted humour but was disappointed. There was no sideline characters that added to the comedy like the 2 idiot pirates from the first one. You can tell when a film is bad when you look at your watch half way through. In this one i looked at my watch probably 10 times.

When hiring and working with an Interior Designer, every homeowner needs to know: What services does an Interior Designer commonly provide? What is the best way to find good prospects? What should I look for when I interview the Interior Designer? And most importantly, how do I make sure that the Interior Design Service is done right?
Use the following information to understand your options, make good decisions and get quality work at a fair price.
|How do I avoid the scams and get good Interior Design Service at a fair price?
|First, decide on ALL product / service options. Compile a list of work and quality requirements (see the next section). Have at least 2 qualified pros complete detailed bids on the work. Use a written contract that ties payment to verifyable results. Download the Interior Designer Hiring Guide for step-by-step details.
|What should I expect to pay for Interior Design Service?
|Most Interior Design Service work is quoted at a fixed price, for specific service(s) or deliverables. The underlying hourly rate for an Interior Designer ranges from $67 to $100. Usually, a minimum fee will be charged, which represents 1.5 - 2 hours of effort. In some cases, the quoted job price may be negotiable, particularly if other work is performed by the Interior Designer.
|Do I need to use a licensed Interior Designer for my job? If so - how do I verify license status?
|You should use a licensed Interior Designer for any work that exceeds $500. To check an Interior Designer's license status, search the telephone directory or online for your state's professional license board or department. Contact the licensing authority to check license status and history by the name of the business or individual.
|Should I use an insured Interior Designer for my project?
|Your Interior Designer should carry adequate liability insurance for work related damages. Your Interior Designer should also have workman's compensation insurance for job related injury or health risks.
|Does my Interior Designer need to be bonded?
|A bond is generally not required for Interior Design Service.
An Interior Designer can handle a number of jobs, activities and problems. The list below summarizes common Interior Design Services. Follow the appropriate links below to learn more about cost, options and quality requirements:
Not every Interior Designer has the same ability. Experience, skills, and sense of acceptable quality vary considerable. To get the results that you expect, it is essential that you put appropriate effort behind finding an Interior Designer matched to the specific requirements of your job - not simply someone that puts you at ease or wins your confidence. Before starting, make sure that you completely understand the work you want the Interior Designer to perform and the job quality you expect. Then, begin the selection process outlined below:
A written agreement greatly improves your odds of success when working with an Interior Designer. Never start work until you have a complete agreement signed by your Interior Designer. For small jobs use a written work order. For larger projects, use a detailed contract. Never feel pressured to use the Interior Designer's standard contract. Make sure the following points are included in the agreement:

Women's Classic Peanuts Wrap Robe 9 9
Snoopy for my friend. I purchased the Peanuts gown and robe for my lifelong friend who needed a little something to brighten her day. You can't feel down when you are wrapped up in the Peanuts Gang! October 23, 2013
Bathrobe queen! It gets cold here in New England, so I was looking for a nice comfy, warm, whimsical robe! This item fills all of those. I can't help but start my day with a smile as I look at the characters from "Peanuts". A definite buy! December 2, 2014
Perfect Mother's Day Gift I purchased this nightgown over the phone as I live in Western Australia - couldn't get much further away.... I received the nightgown in the post so quickly - within the week in fact! The gown is gorgeous and soft. I had purchased the flannel peanut bedsheets last year which are even more amazing and warm. Thankyou all so much for providing such special gifts and being so efficient over the phone. Would love to come visit your store someday! May 15, 2014
Miss sent item? Perfect Fit I ordered the PJ's and they were a little tight and so request they be replaced with the nightgown. They sent the robe in error but were quick to rectify the error and send the nightgown but the robe was already on it's way. When the robe arrived I tried it on and it is a keeper. So warm and cozy and not to heavy on the shoulders, just the right weight and very warm for our Wisconsin winters where there are temps below zero and wind chills -35 to -50 below zero. March 4, 2014
almost late for work I'm a HUGE Snoopy fan and recently purchased the Peanuts robe & classic nightgown. They are both SO incredibly comfortable that I don't want to take them off! I delayed getting dressed for work today because I loved the softness of the nightgown so much I was loath to take it off! I want to get the flannel Snoopy sheets but am scared that if the sheets are as comfortable as the nightgown & robe, I might never get out of bed! Oh, what the hay, I'll throw caution to the wind and get the sheets anyway! If I can't get out of bed because they're so comfy, I'll tell the boss it's all your fault! January 13, 2014
Tooooo cute for words!!!!! Purchased for best friend who is a big time Peanuts fan. She fell in love with my Lanz flannel robe; I'm sure she'll love this robe even more! It looks and feels like the wonderful Lanz flannels that I am always so happy to find at VCS; such quality is really hard to find these days! Hope you continue to carry these cozy, cuddly flannels forever! December 14, 2013
Warm and Cozy There's nothing better than a warm flannel robe on a cool morning and to have the entire Peanuts gang on that robe you can't go wrong. Very nicely made. November 12, 2013
Awesome I had a Lanz robe years ago and wore it til it fell apart. All I could find were boring solids, small sizes that were tents on my Petite small body, and "not like the good old days" styles (big/quilted). Eureka when I saw the ad for the Charlie Brown print. Then I checked the sizing and found that the small size was actually SMALL. Bought itâ¦and it is everything I had hoped for. Thank you, thank you Vermont Country Store! November 12, 2013

Why Power Is Not a Dirty Word
Why are we as societies creating a world that we as individuals abhor? It's a mind-bending question.
Who, after all, gets up in the morning pledging to starve children? Yet, each day over 24,000 young children die of hunger and poverty. Who, anywhere, sets out to heat the planet and rid the world of its species? Yet, every day roughly 100 more species are lost forever.
Do we simply lack the know-how to reverse these horrors? No. We humans already have proven solutions to everything from climate chaos to poverty.
Or is it human nature—underneath are we all just selfish little shoppers, so of course we're doomed?
No, again. In recent decades, a revolution in our understanding of human nature has produced evidence from neuroscience to anthropology that we have all the social "wiring" needed to make the turn toward life. It turns out we've evolved to take pleasure in and to need cooperation, empathy, fairness, and efficacy.
Then what is preventing us from moving toward the world that almost all of us want? My short answer is that we feel powerless. We feel powerless to act on what we know.
And what robs us of power?
For some, it's the false idea that we have to change human nature itself; that we have to overcome our Stone Age emotions, as esteemed biologist E.O. Wilson tells us.
Others cling to the notion that most of us are OK, but there's an evil minority—be it people raking in the dough on Wall Street or hiding in caves in Pakistan. The solution is to get rid of "them" so we can have the world we want.
To me, both seem daunting, truly impossible tasks.
What if there were a wholly different way of seeing the challenge that gets at the very root of our powerlessness, and is grounded in the latest science?
In Getting a Grip 2: Clarity, Creativity and Courage for the World We Really Want, I suggest that we humans find our power only as we embrace the totality of our complex nature: accepting that, yes, we are hard-wired (or at least, "soft-wired") to be caring and cooperative problem-solvers. And at the same time, lab experiments, as well as current and past genocides, prove that under the right (wrong) conditions, most of us will brutalize others.
It's tough to truly accept that both attributes exist within virtually all of us, but the payoff for taking this mental leap is huge.
We Are Hard-Wired to Care and Connect
New science shows we evolved to cooperate.
From this frame, we know what to do. We don't have to change human nature or get rid of the evil ones. We have to first identify the social rules and norms that both bring out the best in us and keep the worst in check; and then work to manifest precisely those conditions.
I believe the evidence shows that three conditions, in particular, lead humans to no good. They are concentration of power, anonymity, and scapegoating.
If that is the case, progress toward the world we want comes as we dissolve these conditions and move toward communities and societies with widely dispersed power, transparent public decision making, and shared responsibility for creating solutions instead of looking for someone to blame.
The great news is that millions of people worldwide are fostering the conditions that bring out the best in us. But if despair is still a danger for many who feel powerless to act on what we know now, maybe it's time we rethink power itself.
The Power of Interdependence
It helps to remember ecology's core teaching: We all exist in densely woven networks. From the cellular to the societal level, our context shapes each of us moment to moment. As physicist Hans-Peter Duerr reminds us, "There are not parts, only participants."
From this view, our power is evident. The only choice we don't have is whether to change the world: Every choice we make sends out ripples. This is not the rugged "loner" type of power glorified by our culture. It is power flowing from our interdependence, which recent neuroscience reveals to be vastly greater than we'd ever imagined.
In the early 1990s, neuroscientists were studying the brain activity of monkeys, particularly in the part of the brain's frontal lobe associated with distinct actions, such as reaching or eating. They saw specific neurons firing for specific activities. But then they noticed something they didn't expect at all: The very same neurons fired when a monkey was simply watching another monkey perform that action.
"Monkey see, monkey do" suddenly took on a whole new meaning for me. We humans are wired like our close relatives, and when we observe someone else, our own brains are simultaneously experiencing at least something of what that person is experiencing. The significance of these copycats, called "mirror neurons," is huge. We do walk in one another's shoes, whether we want to or not. "[Our] intimate brain-to-brain link-up ... lets us affect the brain—and so the body—of everyone we interact with, just as they do us," writes Daniel Goleman, in Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships.
We therefore co-create one another, moment to moment. For me, our "imprintability" is itself a source of hope. Our actions, and perhaps our mental states, register in others, so that we change anyone observing us. That's power.
That means, we rely on support from our readers.

ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- A day after losing the 21st Congressional race, Green Party candidate Donald Hassig is now in trouble with the law. Hassig was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with stalking the county's public health director, Dr. Susan Hathaway.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies say the allegations were over a long period of time, dating back to 2010.
Hassig was arraigned in Canton Town Court Wednesday and has been ordered to stay away from Hathaway.
In Tuesday's election, he only garnered about one percent of the vote, but long before the election he had lost the endorsement of his own party. The New York State Green Party denounced him for what they call "disturbing and reprehensible" comments made during a debate in St. Lawrence County. There, he called for foreign workers on farms in the North Country to be rounded up and deported.

Opera Lecture
AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA: Composed late in 1892 and first performed at the Teatro Regio in Turin in February 1893, Manon Lescaut was Giacomo Puccini's first great success as an opera composer. The story was based on a controversial short novel by the Abbé Antoine François Prévost, The History of the Chevalier des Grieux and Manon Lescaut, which was banned upon publication in 1731. Join Professor James Kolb for this audio/visual experience. 3 p.m.

How many times during your Peace Corps service did you stop and wonder about all the strange characters and scenes you could capture ã if only somebody would loan you a film crew?
Well it took nearly a decade after completing my service, but that's exactly what happened to me last January, when a producer from the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" asked me if I would guide their star and crew around Nicaragua.
"Yes," I said.
What followed was one of the craziest, most intense whirlwind tours of Nicaragua I've ever taken. My job was to help portray the "real" Nicaragua, by presenting serious themes wrapped in entertainment ã i.e. the fun of watching someone eat cheese worms, raw bull balls, and iguana eggs.
Culinary shock value aside, I made suggestions and, incredibly, they listened to me ã so we filmed acts on a Nicaraguan chicken bus, at a fair trade coffee cupping,ô "snout-to-tail" pig dining, and a Creole family dinner. Also featured in the Nicaragua episode ã which will air on June 2, 2009, on the Travel Channel ã my Peace Corps site, La Trinidad, EstelûÙ. Yes, my dear "La Trini" makes a quick appearance, representing small pueblos off the beaten path across the country; it comes off as kind of a Panamerican truck stop, but nevertheless, there it is, for the world to see ã because someobody loaned me a film crew.
