Find out why teaching handwriting is crucial and why Great Britain and not the US should be the model for education policy for handwriting.
This is an English adaptation of an Interview with Guillermo Tupper, a reporter for El Mercurio the newspaper of record in Chile, published in Santiago, Chile on January 4, 2014.
Mr. Tupper's Interview with Dr. Gentry
1. Is handwriting still an important skill for kids? Why?
Handwriting is crucial because recent brain scan studies have shown that early handwriting skill helps kids learn to read. Keyboarding doesn't have this effect. With a language such as English with its difficult spelling system, early handwriting practice and writing down messages and thoughts helps kids break the code.
2. What are the negative effects of the arrival of text messages, chats and e-mails in kids' language?

Zimmer OK, Hotel in die Jahre gekommen
December 17, 2014
Wie schon im Titel erwähnt: Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und angesichts der vielen anderen guten Hotels, die in Dubai zur Verfügung stehen, ist es daher allenfalls als unterdurchschnittlich zu bewerten. Der Pool befindet sich im vierten Stock und versprüht schönen 80er Jahre Betonbunker-Charme. Das Klientel im Hotel tut ihr übriges, um diesem Eindruck nicht entgegen zu wirken. Meines Erachtens wird dieses Hotel entweder von Flight-Crews wegen der Flughafennähe oder von Pauschaltouristen frequentiert.

We needed somewhere to rest as part of a 24-hour stopover in Dubai. The room was dark, but noisy as it was right above the bar. If it had been on a higher level, I'm sure we would've had a better night's sleep! Staff were very helpful and moved us to another room, but as it was the middle of the night, we still had an interrupted sleep. The food in the executive level lounge is nice, but sparse - only cakes, no savoury food after breakfast. Staff were all very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Welcome to Maritime Labradors. We are located on 18 wooded acres in northeastern Connecticut. Maritime is a small hobby kennel devoted to the tradition of the versatile Labrador Retriever. We are an AKC Breeder of Merit. The Breeder of Merit Program honors breeder/exhibitors' dedication and hard work as they continue to produce dogs that are healthy, capable, and beautiful. The foundation of today's AKC, Breeders of Merit have the power to influence, guide, and teach future breeders, exhibitors, and all purebred dog owners.
The labradors of Maritime compete in conformation as well as AKC Hunt Tests. We feel it's important that our dogs are versatile, and we have both AKC Show Champions and AKC Hunt Test titled dogs. We pheasant, duck and goose hunt with our labradors and are active members of Yankee Waterfowlers Hunting Retriever Club and belong to two Labrador Specialty Clubs.
At Maritime health and temperament are top priority and all of our breeding dogs are OFA hip, elbow and heart certified. We CERF our dogs annually and use Optigen Testing.
We are breeding for the continuation of our kennel and the betterment of the breed. We select for ourselves the show quality puppies and the rest of the litter is available to companion homes. Our puppies are raised in a home environment and we breed only a modest number of litters annually. All of our pet puppies are sold on AKC Limited Registration, micro chipped, CERF'd and first set of vaccines.
If you are interested in acquiring a puppy or young adult dog from Maritime, please e-mail us directly from the website and/or call. In turn we will forward our Family Questionnaire form. From time to time we have young adult dogs available - pups we kept from a previous litter.
Please enjoy our website and viewing our labadors. We update often with news of New Champions, new titles, upcoming litters, and new additions to our kennel.
We enjoy visitors to see our dogs but by appointment only please.
Thank you for visiting Maritime.

"I don't know Deborah Winters' age. And that's not really the point. The point is this – that in a world of winsome girl singers, it's refreshing to hear someone who sounds like they've really been there, and done that. No girl singer. A woman, singing. She had me from the first track, the title track. Music by Johnny Mandel, but Ms. Winters puts just the right spin on Richard Rodney Bennett's wonderful lyrics about two people who have seen, and been through it all ..." ~Doug Boynton
"On Lovers After All, the Bay Area-based vocalist establishes herself as a ballad singer with which to be reckoned. She can sing over swing with confidence ("Get Out Of Town") and sway to the subtle sounds of the bossa nova ("Haunted Heart"), but her ballad work eclipses all else. Her voice has depth and warmth that instantly soothes and seduces ..." ~Dan Bilawsky
"Winters steps out with a unique vocal hybrid that breaths new life into old classics and stretches out an infectious lyrical style that is captivating and fresh. As often said, this is "old school" becoming "new cool." The true measure of any artist is the ability to take on an iconic piece of work and make it your own without disrespecting the either the original or yourself and Winters scores big here with stunning renditions of "For All We Know" and "How Deep Is The Ocean." ~Brent Black
"With that heart-shaped face and posture whispering of playful seduction, Deborah Winters looks like Debbie Harry in her prime but sure as hell doesn't sing like Blondie's overhyped chanteuse, instead bringing the American Songbook days rushing back in a big way - and without any of the overt brassiness such a descriptive might accidentally infer. Winters is silky smooth even while at her most freespirited, as in the scatty melismatics in How am I to Know..." ~Mark S. Tucker
"What do you get when you combine the diction of Roberta Flack, the depth and range of k.d. lang and the controlled emotion of a polished show person? You get Deborah Winters. The singer that may well become our next jazz diva." ~Chip Etier
Jazz Society of Oregon
"Winters impressed me for lots of reasons. Her choice of tunes is flawless..." ~George Fendel

What makes us different?
Here are just a few of our services
What do our clients say about us?
The team at TruCounsel Marketing helped us get from literally nowhere online to building a steady flow of clients through the internet.They are responsive and transparent. They answer the phone and reply to my emails right away, and I always know what's going on. We trust them.
When I first reached out to TruCounsel, I felt like I was taking a shot in the dark. There are so many companies out there that make broken promises about getting you "on the first page of Google". We have now been working together for over 6 months and are very satisfied. Greg and Jared have proven to be hands-on, extremely responsive, and most importantly, honest! They are the true definition of a "trusted advisor" and in this field, that's hard to come by. In fact, they are my go-to partner whenever I have any web marketing-related question. I highly recommend their services.
We hired Greg and TruCounsel to optimize our website, and to improve our online presence. Throughout the process we saw steady improvement in both categories. Greg and TruCounsel were great to work with, and were very responsive. You would do well to use them for these services!

Martha "Meg" Gaines, J.D., LLM
Director / Clinical Professor
Martha "Meg" Gaines, founder and director of the Center, was called to advocacy work after her own experience with illness. In 1994, Meg was diagnosed with ovarian cancer which ultimately spread to her liver. In early 1995, a doctor told her to "go home and think about the quality, not the quantity" of her remaining days. Her children were toddlers at the time. But Meg did not go home and die. She went on an odyssey around the United States and found the surgeon who would save her life.
Once she was in remission, Meg returned to her job at the law school and, in 1998, was named Assistant Dean for Student and Academic Affairs. But Meg soon felt called to a new career. Mindful of the role her education and resources played in her survival, Meg decided to commit her professional energies to helping other patients facing life threatening and serious chronic illnesses get the care they need. In September 2000, she and several colleagues founded the Center.
Meg received her undergraduate degree in religion from Vassar College in 1977 and graduated cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1983. Following her graduation, she served as a law clerk in Arizona and as a trial attorney for the Milwaukee office of the State Public Defender. In 1987, she returned to the Remington Center at the University of Wisconsin Law School to teach. She earned her post-graduate Master of Laws degree in 1993 from the University of Wisconsin.
Sarah Davis, J.D., MPA
Associate Director / Clinical Asst. Professor
As Center Associate Director, Sarah Davis is currently collaborating with our new Directors of National Initiatives and Educational Development on our exciting emerging endeavors in e-learning, professional field-building, and activities related enhancing the capacity of patients to influence state and federal health policy, and the responsiveness of the health care system to consumers' experiences.
Sarah co-teaches Center courses and in Integrative Cases at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. She serves as principal investigator/preceptor for MPH and medical students engaged in research projects at the Center. Sarah provides significant leadership to curriculum development at the Center – including formation of our Certificate programs, new course development (recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars Course Development Grant), and currently the JD-MPH joint degree program. She also serves as a consultant to health care organizations who are engaging health care consumers in health systems improvement efforts.
Sarah served as the chair of UW's Interprofessional Health Committee from 2008-10 and currently represents the Center on the SaveBadgerCare and Covering Kids and Families coalitions. Publications include: "Educating for Health Advocacy in Settings of Higher Education" in Patient Advocacy for Health Care Quality: Strategies for Achieving Patient-Centered Care, Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc. (with Meg and Rachel) and "Ten Strategies to Build Partnerships With Patients," Wisconsin Medical Journal (with Meg and former colleague Mary Michaud).
Sarah graduated cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School. Concurrently, she obtained a master's degree from the La Follette School of Public Affairs, during which she staffed the Dane County/Madison Joint Public Health Advisory Committee, working towards the unification of the county and city public health departments.
Rachel Grob, M.A., Ph.D.
Director of National Initiatives / Associate Clinical Professor
Rachel Grob, Ph.D. is the Center's Director of National Initiatives. Rachel is leading the Center's policy and research initiatives, collaborating with Center staff and other visiting scholars on patient advocacy field-building projects. Rachel brings to her position an ongoing affiliation with a range of organizations and institutions active in health reform, advocacy education, and health policy. She is also an experienced educator, coalition builder, and qualitative researcher.
Rachel's scholarship about the theory and practice of advocacy is extensive, and includes collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of scholars to conceptualize and articulate a set of principles about how patients' diverse voices can best be incorporated into democratic deliberation about health policy. This project was published in a volume on that topic titled Patients as Policy Actors (Rutgers University Press, 2011). Her qualitative research has been published in numerous articles and book chapters, including her book Testing Baby: The Transformation of Newborn Screening, Parenting, and Policymaking (Rutgers University Press, 2011).
From 2003 – 2011, Rachel was associate dean of graduate studies at Sarah Lawrence College, and she has been on the faculty of the College's Health Advocacy Program (HAP) since 1998. For her last four years at Sarah Lawrence, she also directed the college's Child Development Institute, engaging in research, outreach, and program development focused on children, childhood and education. As a Health Advocacy Program faculty member, Rachel taught a number of courses and played a central role in curriculum development, particularly with respect to increased focus on the linkages between individual patient advocacy, community mobilization, and system-level policy change. Over this same time – working in conjunction with CPP's Meg Gaines and Sarah Davis –she played a formative role in nascent efforts to develop professional codes and ethics for the health advocacy profession. Rachel, Meg and Sarah co-authored: "Educating for Health Advocacy in Settings of Higher Education" in Patient Advocacy for Health Care Quality: Strategies for Achieving Patient-Centered Care. Edited by J. Earp, E. French, M. Gilkey. Boston: Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc. (2008). Rachel's research and scholarship on the connection between advocacy and policy change has been funded by an Investigator Award in Health Policy from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2006 – present).
Prior to completing her doctorate in sociology and moving into higher education full time, Rachel worked as a health advocate in public, non-profit, and community settings.
Kelly Douglas
Development Director
Kelly is the Center's first Development Director, a role dedicated to raising funds to support and advance the ground-breaking work at the Center. A dual aspect of her position is communicating the purpose and advancements of the Center and the patient advocacy field to our supporters and stakeholders.
With a background in non-profit management, including fundraising and business development, Kelly brings the experience and energy needed to help propel our mission forward. The path to the Center has been carved out not only through her experience with an advocacy based, empowerment focused agency and a welcome reconnection to the university where she received her undergrad degree, but also through her own personal struggle with a diagnosis of malignant melanoma at the age of 20. While this path took various curves and detours, Kelly is thankful that these various elements of her experience lead her to the Center.
Kelly received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a certificate in Women's Studies. Supporting women's health and well being has been a central focus of her work, as well as creating access for under-served populations to necessary resources. Kelly also volunteers on the Fundraising Committee for Hillside Health Care International, a small clinic that provides essential medical care, disease prevention, community outreach and health education to the people of Southern Belize, as well as offering global health education for medical students.
Marc Korobkin, J.D.
Instructional Technology Specialist
Passionate about technology and education, Marc primarily serves as technology translator and administrator in the Center's eLearning endeavors and other projects. He regularly collaborates with faculty, staff, and consultants to craft innovative instructional solutions that are intuitive and pedagogically sound. Marc has played an instrumental role in transforming the Center's traditionally face-to-face curriculum to a blended and online format. This transformation involved instructional design and technology development for a blended eService Learning course, and 4 completely online courses. Marc is also involved in many other areas of the Center's work, including development, marketing, and communications.
Other examples of Marc's work include the migration to and implementation of the Center's case management system, and the continued support and training of staff and students on this system. He is well versed in a variety of open source content management systems, including WordPress and Drupal, CiviCRM, graphic design applications, and Google Apps.
Marc graduated from University of Wisconsin Law School in 2009. When he is not at the Center, Marc enjoys volunteering in the community, including serving on various committees at UW Health, as well as travel and photography. Many of his photographs are featured on the Center's various websites and at the University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics.
Blake J. Bishop, M.S.
Student Services Coordinator
Blake's primary duties are focused on helping students at the Center with all aspects of their educational experience. He enjoys providing guidance with admissions, advising, financial aid, and making sure that students possess everything they need to have a successful experience. Blake received his Master's Degree in Educational Leadership & Policy Analysis (ELPA) from UW-Madison, which has provided him with the skills he needs to guide individuals along their educational journey.
In addition to serving students, Blake also provides the Center with his marketing expertise. By managing the outreach and recruitment activities both locally and nationally he ensures that the CPP sustains growth while maintaining and constantly improving upon the quality of education that students receive. Blake received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing Communications from Bemidji State University.
In his free time, Blake enjoys traveling, volunteering, and pretty much all outdoor activities. Although he loves being outside, on Sundays in the fall you'll always find him at home cheering on the Packers (unless he's actually at the game, of course). He also enjoys serving as an Executive Board Member with the Madison Student Personnel Association as well as being an active member of other professional organizations.
Amanda T. Eggen, M.S.
Child Advocacy Coordinator
As Child Advocacy Coordinator, Amanda is coordinating a collaborative Child Health Advocacy Initiative between the Center for Patient Partnerships, the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the UW School of Medicine & Public Health's Department of Pediatrics, and the American Family Children's Hospital. The team is developing Community-Academic partnerships focused on improving the status of Wisconsin's children through upstream population health strategies, while also strengthening community advocacy training for healthcare advocates—and healthcare providers-in-training. She also supervises Consumer Health Advocacy students at the Center and will soon facilitate the Center's Models of Advocacy course.
Amanda came to the Center for Patient Partnerships first as a client when her father was diagnosed with Stage IV brain cancer. She was immediately drawn to the Center's mission and direct patient advocacy program. In completing the Consumer Health Advocacy Certificate at the Center in 2014, additional interests in health system improvement, and policy- and community-level advocacy were nurtured. She worked with the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families to develop her Capstone project for Capturing the Patient Voice through the Wisconsin ACA Marketplace Implementation. She joined the center as staff in July 2014.
Amanda earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology from UW-Madison. Her research focus was on how sociocultural factors impact psychological processes, interpersonal communication and ultimately, overall well-being. She previously taught communications courses in varied educational settings in the U.S., Vietnam and Ethiopia. This background equips Amanda with a strong understanding of how cultural backgrounds can influence health perceptions and preferences, provider-patient communication and relationship preferences, among other social and cultural sensitivities that are important at multiple levels of advocacy. She has also taught psychology courses at UW and previously worked as a business process consultant in the information technology industry.
Nathan Scafe, CSW
Office Manager
Nathan joined the Center in July 2014. As Office Manager, Nathan helps ensure the day to day administrative operations of the Center run smoothly. He provides support for other staff by helping to maintain the finances of the Center, assisting with communications and donor relations, answering phones and other tasks.
Before joining the Center Nathan has served in several different advocacy roles. In 2013, he served a year as an Americorps VISTA member developing community outreach programs at a high school. Prior to that, he worked in the Wisconsin Legislature where he provided services for people needing assistance with state agencies.
He also helped create the Chestnut House Occupational and Independent Community Education (CHOICE) program in Janesville, Wisconsin which aims to give students with cognitive disabilities skills they can use to be successful in the job market and beyond.
Nathan graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Kathy O'Connell, Ph.D.
Lead Advocacy Faculty
Kathy has many years of teaching and clinical health care provider experience, as well as a passion for curriculum development and qualitative research. She comes to the Center from the University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health/Department of Medicine where her responsibilities included curriculum development and oversight of the post-graduate medical education curriculum for the internal medicine residency and fellowships. Kathy also brings experience from the UW's Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) where she created adult educational modules for faculty researchers and communities in Type 2 Translational Research (T2TR). She has also served as a member of the research and evaluation team for the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI), which afforded her opportunities in qualitative research and design.
Kathy received her PhD from the UW's Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis Department. Her graduate program and dissertation focus were in higher education institutional transformation and academic change and innovation.
Suzanne Lee, M.D.
Advocacy Faculty, Medical Director
Suzanne Lee is the staff physician at the Center for Patient Partnerships. Her areas of expertise include helping clients understand confusing diagnoses and their ramifications; researching the medical literature to assist patients in making evidence-based treatment choices; interfacing with the medical community to improve patient/physician communication; and, her favorite, searching for clinical trials.
Suzanne graduated with a bachelor's degree in art history from Mount Holyoke College, and a medical degree from Wayne State University. Her post-graduate training includes a pediatric internship, followed by residency training in adult psychiatry at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, where she won the Michael Reese Medical Staff Award in recognition of "professional competence and a warm and humane attitude toward patients and their families." While at Michael Reese, Suzanne implemented a psychiatric screening program for all pediatric oncology in-patients. She has additional fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Chicago. She has also worked in hospital consultation-liaison psychiatry and community mental health psychiatry.
Advocacy has been a way of life for Suzanne's family. Her mother, a cancer survivor and life-long community activist, is the president of the board for a non-profit agency serving at-risk youth. Suzanne's father, a physician and survivor of advanced prostate cancer, assertively advocated that he be treated with novel therapies and has dedicated the latter part of his career to the cryosurgical treatment of prostate cancer. He is also an outspoken advocate for the screening and early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Suzanne's most personal effort navigating our complex medical system was advocating for her own son, who was having medical problems and facing developmental disabilities. Married to a physician, and counting many medical doctors among her family and friends, Suzanne is able to draw knowledge from a vast array of specialists.
Lael Sheber, R.N., BSN
Advocacy Faculty, Spanish Services Coordinator
Lael Sheber provides patient advocacy and supervision to professional and graduate students at the Center for Patient Partnerships. Helping others communicate with medical providers to get the care they deserve has been the foundation of Lael's work in health care for almost two decades. Lael's professional background includes working as a labor and delivery nurse in a hospital setting, as a prenatal and triage nurse in a community clinic setting, and as a homebirth midwife. She is a conversational Spanish speaker and has worked within the latino community throughout her career.
Lael's experience advocating for others in the medical system became a personal one in July 2008 when her 3 year old son was diagnosed with leukemia. Although she was experienced in advocating for patients within the health care system, advocating for her son brought this to a deeper level. The advocacy work she continues to do for her son has not only improved his care and subsequently his health, but the relationships with their health care team as well.
Working at the Center For Patient Partnerships allows Lael to share her work and personal experiences in health care to not only improve people's lives through advocacy but to also inspire and support others working in this field.
Jessica Gilkison, J.D.
Advocacy Faculty
Jessica Gilkison provides patient advocacy and supervision to professional and graduate students at the Center for Patient Partnerships. Jessica was drawn to the Center through her positive experiences in clinical programs while in law school, as well as her family's experience receiving services from the Center.
While at the University of Wisconsin Law School ('99), Jessica participated in clinical programs at the Wisconsin Coalition for Advocacy (now Disability Rights Wisconsin), the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Elder Law Center of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups.
Jessica has experience as a support person for family members with serious health issues. She draws on this experience as a member of the UW Health Adult Patient and Family Advisory Council. A member of Jessica's family was a client of the Center in 2007 and received support in seeking a second opinion and navigating the realm of clinical trials. The support was invaluable and Jessica was thrilled when the opportunity arose for her to join the Center staff.
Prior to joining the Center, Jessica worked as a staff attorney at Disability Rights Wisconsin providing training and supervision to benefit specialists in the Disability Benefit Specialist Program, for which she was previously the program coordinator.
Pete Daly
Advocacy Faculty
Pete Daly advocates for patients at the center through his direct experience as a cancer patient and continuing client of the center. In September 2002 he faced Stage III Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Through the help of the center, he built his medical and support teams, entered a long lasting clinical trial at the National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI), and learned to proactively address his health care. Not long after his diagnosis and receiving "as his life depended upon it" direction from Director Meg Gaines, Pete began working at the Center by directly assisting other patients and supervising professional degree students.
In his cancer journey, Pete has faced multiple recurrences, each time leaning upon his local medical team at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center, the clinical researchers at NIH/NCI, and the support of the center, friends and family. Pete and his wife, Nancy, have two children, Sam and Mary, and family is central to his wellbeing. Prior to his involvement with the center, Pete worked for 28 years as manager of a local private engineering practice and as a consultant.

Almost 100 people become citizens in a ceremony honoring National Adoption Month
Updated On: Nov 21 2013 12:10:00 PM EST
Almost 100 people became citizens of the United States on Thursday in a special ceremony honoring National Adoption Month.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Orlando hosted the event, which celebrated 17 internationally adopted people.
One of the youngest new citizens is 8-year-old Ayana Sorenson.
Sorenson's mother told WESH 2's Rikki Klaus that the ceremony brought closure.
Another mother, Kelly Fleagle, and her daughter, Vivian Kate, were both adopted from Korea.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials urged the new citizens to remember where they came from and what brought them to the United States.

I'm fond of saying I learn something new from my students each quarter. It's happened again, though I half wish I were still ignorant.
For the second day of class, I asked my intro to WGS students to check out Jeff Fecke's post on that appalling "political cartoon" depicting Obama as having raped Lady Liberty. (Go check out Jeff's post and then come back; I will not have that "cartoon" befouling this blog.) I've taken to starting the term with a blog post or two along with a few canonical articles on gender and oppression. My hope is always that a few very current examples will upend the assumption that we're all post-feminist and colorblind now. I was afraid this post could upset students badly because it was so vile. It did rile them up – but for all the wrong reasons.
For one thing, several students thought that calling the cartoon racist was "pulling the race card." Lady Liberty was green, after all, not a white woman. And we do have a Black president, after all, so what color should they cartoonist paint him? One bright young woman brought up the myth of the black rapist. Yep, I said; what do you know about its history? After a few minutes of circling around Jim Crow laws and the Civil Rights movements, my students gave up. Lynchings, I said. Lynchings! They had no bloody idea that the history of lynching is largely history of black men being murdered on the pretext of allegedly raping white women. I guess this hasn't trickled into the high-school curriculum. Maybe it's not taught in Texas and thus not in the books? Or maybe teachers just don't go there because sex and race are taboo enough on their own, god forbid they'd have to mix them? Or am I just encountering the same unflappable colorblindness that I saw last fall, too?
But while I was prepared for some resistance on the cartoon's racism, I was sure someone would take umbrage at the rape metaphor. I asked if it didn't trivialize actual victims of sexual assault. Forty faces looked at me blankly. Then one of the talkative men, who's struck me as no dummy, said: "Well, it's kinda like 'fag.' People use it all the time and don't mean anything by it. It's just slang."
One of the women said, "Yeah. Like: 'Wow, their soccer team totally raped us.'"
I picked my jaw up from the floor just long enough to ask if this was common. Forty heads nodded.
I wondered if this inflationary use of "rape" stems from the right wing's frequent use of rape metaphors to protest Democratic policies and ideas. I tend to think not; Rushbo and his colleagues want their audience to be deeply outraged, which presumes that "rape" still holds some power to shock.
But my students are only rarely ideologues. Few of them listen to Rush or Glenn Beck; those guys are just too old. The young folks aren't using rape as the ultimate metaphor for violation. They're using it like my mom might say, "Oh, heck!"
So have any of you heard "rape" used as casual slang? "Fag" is problematic enough; as C.J. Pascoe shows in Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School, it's used to harshly police both boys and girls' expression of their gender and sexuality.
But "rape"? As slang? I mean, I remember it from The Who's Tommy (We're not gonna take it!) but that's about it.
An hour after class, one of the young women showed up at my office hours. "I just heard someone say 'That test raped me.' I wouldn't have even noticed it before."
What have you noticed? Is this a generational thing? Do I just live in a bubble? I'd be grateful for any clarifications and insights.
Update 4/13/10: Yesterday I spoke about all this with my neighbor, who's a historian of 19th-century America. He said that he actually works with high-school teachers regularly and when he discusses lynching with them, they are very nervous about creating a local scandal if they were to include it in their curriculum. The intersection of racism, sex, and violence is just too explosive for many parents and school boards. I thought this helps clarify my students' experiences (and confirms that they are not clued out – in fact, they're a pretty sharp lot. And as Shinobi notes in comments, hearing about how rape allegations were employed in lynching later in life can lead to an potent "aha" moment.

of the expansion of the river into the gulf, says that this species is the most abundant of all the seals of that locality, and roves up and down the St. Lawrence in its migra- tions iu immense numbers ; and he adds that it is tolerably common as far up as the Saguenay. From the information furnished by Mr. Comeau and from other data, it ap- pears to Dr. Merriam that the harp-seal is a permanent resident in the St. Lawrence ; that it spends the summer wandering about, some- times singly or in small schools, sometimes in larjre herds ; that it ascends the river at least as far as the Saguenay, and is common between Mille Vasches and Manicouagan ; that it frequents with considerable regular- ity particular shores and estuaries to feed on the small fish that congregate there at certain states of the tide ; that it works down the river early in the winter, and is particu- larly abundant about Point des Monts in December, January, and the early part of February ; that it then passes farther down to whelp on the heavy ice in the gulf ; that its young are born during the latter part of February or early March ; that, as soon as the young are able to shift for themselves, the parents at once return, passing Point des Monts in great numbers on their way up the river.
Alleged Nerve-exciting Properties of American Air. A correspondent of the Lon- don " Times " notices as a fact coming within his own personal experience the effect of the American air, particularly in New York, in exciting nervous sensibility. It is partly an effect of dryness, partly elec- trical, as is witnessed by the power some- times observed of lighting a gas-jet with the electric spark developed by shuffling rapidly over the carpet. It is observed also in the greater intensity of the effect of spir- ituous liquors in this country than in Eu- rope. ' It is partly local, for it is more marked in New York than in any ether place. It seems to be evolving a new type of mind, and ultimately possibly a new phys- ical type ; and the American appears to be becoming a more nervous and more spirited man. Hence, we have peculiarities in our statistics of insanity; our army of tramps " individuals of all classes, though mainly of the poorer, who can not endure the drive and strain necessary to keep up with their fellows, and whose inertia triumphs " and our cranks " people who carry eccentricity almost to iusanity, but are recognized as responsible persons." After noticing an increasing development of insanity among our native-born population, the writer men- tions two questions that suggest themselves : " Are we becoming a nation of madmen," or " are we developing a specialized race from those who can endure the pressure, and who by the survival of the fittest will form the future American stock, while the feeble in- tellectual natures will become tramps and lunatics ? "
The Weather and Health. -Dr. J. W.
Tripe read a paper at the Meteorological Con- ference, held in connection with the London Health Exhibition, on "The Relations of Meteorological Phenomena to Health." It is only recently that systematic observations have made the collation of knowledge on this subject possible. Ordinary variations of the barometer at ordinary elevations pro- duce but little effect on health. At consid- erable elevations disagreeable feelings fol- low the diminished pressure. Nevertheless, consumptive and other invalids have experi- enced relief at mountain-stations ; but this was because the reduced temperature, with the total change in the habits of life, more than compensated for the effects of the lessened pressure. In residences a sudden diminution of atmospheric pressure is likely to be attended with an escape of ground-air from the soil, and thereby to cause injury to health. Changes of temperature when rapid are liable to cause derangements in either direction ; otherwise man can with precautions endure a range of about 200 Fahr. without serious injury. Hot climates, however, eventually, unless habits are care- fully adjusted to them, sap the foundations of life among Europeans. The direct influ- ence of rain on man is not very marked in temperate regions, except by giving moist- ure to the air by evaporation from the ground and from vegetable life, and by al- tering the level of ground- water. Consider- able and sudden fluctuations in the level of the ground- water generally cause ill health, and if such water stands at less than five feet below the surface it is dangerous. Vary-

But 2013 is the year that proved your "paranoid" friend right.
NBC | A father and his two sons have been arrested in Australia after police found a $3 million arsenal of more than 300 guns and 4.2 tons of ammunition at their farm, police said Thursday. The men, aged 69, 46 and 42, were charged with possessing restricted firearms after police found the weapons stockpile stashed in sheds at their property in Monto, Queensland.

The following is a list of stores that either have both state and local approval to open on Jan. 1 — though some may choose not to — or of stores that have confirmed to The Denver Post that they expect to be open for recreational sales on Jan. 1. This list will be updated as more information becomes available.
WP | A century ago this week, Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act, creating a central bank for a nation that was only beginning its economic ascendance. This is the story of how it came to be, from a nearly catastrophic financial panic to secret meetings of plutocrats on the Georgia coast to the pitched battle in the halls of Congress, excerpted from The Alchemists: Three Central Bankers and a World on Fire.
Reuters | Someone has made a near billion-dollar bet on copper this week, virtually cornering the world's key stocks of the metal. That has stoked worries of a supply squeeze, as warehouses run low on a raw material vital to global industry, and has raised questions about commodity exchanges' efforts to curb attempts to manipulate prices by aggressively heavy trading.

The parts that burns my biscuit is I was simply looking for answers and he is accusing me of trying to FRAUD HIM OUT of my deserved refund IF I give birth to the girl I know I am carrying! And to use the jargon he used to try to confuse me is just ridiculous, I am NOT stupid and my brother has a PHD in Chemistry. Nell Boyce would like to hear from anyone that has given birth and received a refund, her email is Nell Boyce [email@example.com]
I still think anyone that has a baby of the opposite sex of what Acu-gen says needs to try to get their money back the original way. If they say no then you can follow instructions here for MA laws to get your money. I have spoken to a lot of lawyers and the Office of Consumer affairs in MA, they all told me the same thing.
Copy & paste this whole thing, I can't get the link all on one line, or go to http://www.massgov.com and search on 30 day demand letter:
I talked to my brother yesterday and this is what he had to say:
"Nothing's impossible, but I find their claims and attitude disturbing to say the least. I skimmed the scientific portion of their site, and
I can't say if their base science is wrong, but I also have no idea if it a load of manure, either.
In either case the geologic time scale stuff is crap, snake oil and other things designed to stop you from collecting what is due to you."
I also chatted with the Baltimore Sun, the Boston Globe, Nell from NPR and I am just waiting for more. Acu-Gen can be as stupid as they want, I will tell everyone that will listen about this. I am tired of being blamed for their wrong doing, like because I trust something that is in front of my eyes, I am wrong and shouldn't do that.
Thanks for the support ladies

5 real women. 5 incredible transformaitons. Discover their stories and view the latest hair & style makeover.
This is your season to shine, redheads! Turn heads at your next party with a pin-up era inspired style. Simply use a large barrel curling iron on side-parted hair and create large curls. Let your hair cool before running a brush through your curls to create a soft, natural wave. The result is voluminous roots and soft ringlets that show off all your gorgeous red, gold, and copper hues.
Turn up the heat by going a shade or two darker than usual with your hair colour for added depth. The rich, mahogany tones achieved through John Frieda® Precision Foam Colour 5RV Radiant Red® Medium Burgundy is a perfect on-trend holiday pick-me-up. With the Shade Selector at your fingertips, it couldn't be simpler to pick the perfect complimentary John Frieda® Precision Foam Colour shade. Or, rev up the shine without affecting colour with Clear Shine Luminous Glaze. Just shampoo, condition, then glaze to give your hair newfound vibrancy. It's the perfect holiday pick-me-up.
Tis' the season to make your blonde bright. Who says you have to go darker during the cooler months? Turn the light on your locks with Sheer Blonde® Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray, which works with the heat of your blow-dryer to gradually lighten. To create highlights, spray on select strands from root to end, then comb through and blow-dry.
Show off your brightened hue with brow-grazing bangs. Think you can't pull off bangs? Think again. Bangs offer versatility and dimension to your existing style while waking up your face and putting your beautiful blonde colour in the limelight. If you have thinner hair, go with a bold bang to create the illusion of thicker hair. Enlist the expertise of your stylist, or take another look as John Frieda® Hair Care Stylist Sebastian Scolarici instructs a John Frieda® At-Home Salon Contest winner on the art of perfectly trimmed bangs at home.
Give yourself the gift of a salon-quality blowout at home and enhance shine to play up your warm dimensions. After washing and conditioning your hair, towel-dry and apply Brilliant Brunette® Liquid Shine Shine Shock® Perfecting Glosser. It will help smooth flyaways, seal split ends and deliver a high-gloss finish that enlivens your multi-dimensional tones.
Next, clip off sections of hair, so you're only working with small segments at a time.
Then let the blow-drying begin. Using a medium or large size round brush, start in the back and move brush and nozzle of blow-dryer together down lengths of your hair. Move all around your head, focusing on the roots first, then working on the mid-shaft and down to the ends. Work slowly and evenly as you move from section to section. If you feel like you need added control or that it's hard to maneuver the brush and blow-dryer, try holding the blow-dryer near the nozzle instead of at the handle. Polish your finished style with a dramatic side part and let the celebration begin!

I've also been looking at this sword to replace my Titanguard. Personally I find the threat from heroic strike at 1.6 weapon speed better than the increased Rend and Devastate Damage from slower weapons.
With the new buff I'm not sure which is better. During a high damage boss fight my rage means I can have heroic strike up all the time, and it is 30% of total damage done to boss because of the speed I can hit with heroic strikes. Surely this 30% more damage is better than the damage bonus from a slow weapon ?

LunaBella Hair & Make-Up

Wedding: 6/1/2013
I had a destination wedding at Butterfly Beach in Santa Barbara, CA and used Ashley & Christin with LunaBella for my hair and makeup. I have naturally curly hair and use the Deva Curl product line and I also use MAC makeup so I was very happy to learn those are the products they use! My hair and makeup looked better than I even imagined! The makeup was natural with a smoky eye and lots of (added) lashes which I love, and my hair was naturally curly half up with a couple of loose braids twisted up to the back. I was very pleased with the makeup style and creative hair techniques used. I highly recommend LunaBella for hair & makeup!
Wedding: 8/12/2012
We love the ladies of LunaBella! My husband, his family, and my family were all very impressed, and I personally want to find an excuse to have them do my makeup again =) They are talented, flexible, and dynamic. They can accommodate any need the bridal party has, and their camera-ready makeup for the guys is just flawless. (We could not tell that the guys had it on.) During the wedding, I had a makeup change to accommodate a change of dress from the white gown to a traditional Chinese dress, and the changes Ashley and Christin made were so appropriate. Love them!

Ashley and Cristin did an amazing job. They are both very kind, easy to work with, and did a fantastic job (they did my hair and makeup, the entire wedding party, my mother, step-mother, aunt, and sister-in-law). They are both extremely skilled.
Wedding: 10/8/2011
Christin, Ashley, and Celene of LunaBella did my hair and makeup (as well as my mom's and my friends) for my wedding day, and they were simply outstanding. If I could give them 10 stars, I would - seriously!
I had multiple trial runs with different make-up artists and cosmetic counters before I found LunaBella - my main issue was that I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, and I felt that most of the makeup artists I tried out made me look too made-up, despite my telling them that I wanted a natural look. In fact, before I found LunaBella, I had resolved to just do my own hair and makeup for my wedding...
Ashley and Christin completely listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted - we (me, my mom, and my friends) looked like better versions of ourselves! Everyone was thrilled with how they looked. Aside from Ashley and Christin's creative expertise, they bring a good energy with them, I can't explain it....they have a really positive and peaceful aura that is wonderful to be around on your wedding day. And they are efficient too - they had time to "touch up" my fiance's sunburned nose....they were amazing!!
Ashley and Christin know their stuff, and it shows. I highly, highly recommend them.
Wedding: 3/12/2011
Such nice people and my make-up was perfect! I had a few trials with other artists but LunaBella got my make-up just right. I barely felt like any was on and I looked like a bride!
Wedding: 8/28/2010
I had all the bridemaids have their hair and makeup done. For the most part everyone looked really gorgeous. Unfortunatly, I am very picky about my eye makeup and after looking at the pictures I wish it had been a bit darker. Also, I noticed a dark spot on my sisters forehead in the pictures. I think that perhaps the foundation was not quite belended all the way. I wish I had noticed beforehand so we could have fixed it. Other than that, they were great. Very pleasant to work with. My advice to brides is to speak up during the trial run. I had a hard time speaking up and although my makeup looked great, I noticed it was quite 100%....my fault, not theirs.
Wedding: 8/14/2010
These ladies were so sweet and helpful. They made me and my bridal party beautiful. They were also so flexible and accommodating to last minute changes.
Wedding: 6/6/2010
My hair & make up were great. They came to me on for the practice since I was having a destination wedding & in the middle of a meltdown! :-) Thank you! Only complaint is that I wish I had less hair spray....
Wedding: 7/17/2010
Well first off let me start off by saying that I went to several hair and make-up trials before my wedding, and this company blew everyone else away.
Ashley did my make-up and Brooklyn did my hair. They came out to my hotel room and did both my hair and make-up, and also did the hair and make-up of several friends and family members. Everyone loved how it turned out. I got false eye lashed for the first time, and even got my make-up air brushed, and had extensions put into my hair, and everything looked so real and flawless. I absolutely have to give them credit for how beautiful I looked, it was so worth it. And I truly believe my pictures are all that more amazing because of them.
Thanks again Brooklyn & Ashley!

Happy New Year everyone!
We welcomed in the New Year with our lovely neighbours over good food, wine and smelly cheese, followed by a spectacular display of fireworks over Lake Zurich. The following day, we headed to the mountains of Grindelwald for a change of scenery. Anyone who has watched the classic Clint Eastwood film, The Eiger Sanction, will be somewhat familiar with the famous Eiger mountain that dominates Grindelwald. Unfortunately, I never made it to the ski slopes on this occasion, mostly due to lethargy brought on by round-the-clock feeding and midnight partying at the Little One's request. That said, despite our initial hesitations about travelling with such a young baby, we had such an enjoyable and relaxing time that we ended up extending our stay.
Quite often when on holidays, eating out at restaurants several times a day for several days in a row can be tiring and make one homesick and anxious for a home-cooked meal. But when you are a new parent, sleep-deprived and out of ideas for one-pot and super-quick dishes, eating out happens to be a real blessing.
Like most popular ski resorts in Switzerland, Grindelwald boasts many good restaurants featuring local fare and hearty cheese dishes to replenish your energy levels after a day in the snow. Our favourite place was the Bäckerei-Konditorei-Café Ringgenberg, a casual eatery which we frequented each morning for a late breakfast (often because we were too tired to make it on time for breakfast at the hotel) and we sometimes even lingered long enough to stay on for lunch.
The café is attached to a bakery which produces a sumptuous array of breads and pastries to satisfy a good continental breakfast, and their lunch menu is appetising to those seeking either a light meal or something more substantial. They serve a very delicious and hearty goulash soup – it was so good that I forgot to take a photo on the three separate occasions that I ordered it for lunch, greed taking priority over publishing. And their toast sandwiches were also delightful. Perhaps my foodie standards are slipping somewhat if I am suddenly critiquing toast sandwiches, but when something simple is made so well, it's hard to be snobby.
And just look at how cute they are …
If you are looking for other restaurant recommendations in Grindelwald, some places to try are:
Bistro Memory A casual restaurant with lots of rustic charm. A shared fondue and a glass of Glühwein makes the world a better place.
Restaurant Barry's Although this restaurant is located in the city centre, the interior could fool you into believing you were in some cosy ski chalet, albeit a fairly large and trendy one. Try their varied options for Cordon Bleu or perhaps something from their "light" menu if all the cheese is giving you too much speed on the slopes.
Restaurant Challibar Hubby declared their Älplermagronen to be the best pasta dish he's ever eaten.
Restaurant Rendez-vous A bustling restaurant with a varied menu. Their veal escalopes with mushroom sauce, served with pasta, is a nice change to the more heavier dishes.
What I also love about this time of the year is the food associated with the celebration of the Epiphany. I love the Galette des Rois which is produced in abundance by the French bakeries, but I particularly enjoy the Dreikönigskuchen (or King's Cake) which is popular in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. This particular "cake" is actually a bread made from brioche dough with a little token hidden inside one of the buns, the finder of which is crowned "King" for the day.
It's just a shame that Dreikönigskuchen is available for such a limited time because I know I could sit down to a bun or two everyday at breakfast.
As for culinary resolutions for 2013 … I believe I still have to tick off some items from last year. Although, my short term goal is to re-enter the kitchen after a much-needed break since giving birth. My dear husband has, in the interim, been grateful to have had full command of the kitchen, churning out an amazing array of dishes that, quite frankly, puts me to shame and threatens my return to the stove. If I don't pick up my act soon, he might even take over this blog!
Stay tuned for some new recipes as well as a further review of The Little Paris Kitchen as promised in this post.
Do you have any culinary resolutions for 2013?

All joking aside, it's fascinating to note that No Country and There Will Be Blood share physical as well as psychic space. Big chunks of the movies were shot against the same flat, parched backdrop, the real Roadrunner-and-Coyote, West Texas landscape outside the town of Marfa. ''We ran into Paul [Thomas Anderson] once while we were shooting,'' says Ethan Coen. ''When we were shooting a scene with Josh Brolin tracking a blood trail, we had one very wide shot of Josh in the frame. He was just walking in this most remote place in the United States, and then behind Josh [arose] this big plume of black smoke over the ridge. We thought, Son of a bitch, the scene is ruined. We sent a grip over to see what was happening. It turned out it was Paul, testing an oil-well fire. We had to wait for the smoke to dissipate.''
Kinda makes you think the films had crossover potential, doesn't it?
Plainview: ''I...driiiiink...your...MILK shake!!!''
Chigurh: ''Drink this, friend-o.''
That face-off will never happen, of course. Nor will any sequels, no matter how popular Anderson's and the Coens' movies become. There will be no Chigurh Rising. No There Will Be Blood II: Oil Be Back! Their creators are artistes for whom such commercial allure is nil (and Javier Bardem is no Robert Englund, running his Freddy down so many nightmares on Elm Street). Some viewers have been left outraged, puzzled, or downright derisive about the abrupt, dangling notes upon which No Country and Blood conclude. But, despite their open-endedness, these tales of very bad behavior possess a slamming-door finality. Once the screen goes black and their spells are broken, you're glad to be rid of these villains...even as you also know they're all you'll want to think and talk about for days.

Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice and the Sacramento Hospice Consortium are offering hospice volunteer training programs for people interested in becoming hospice volunteers for hospice services. Ann Lyons, manager of the hospice program at Sutter Auburn Faith says it's a very rewarding experience.
"So many of our volunteers feel like they're really do meaningful work. It's special, one on one work. They actually go into patient homes and spend time assisting the patient, assist the family. A lot of it is really companionship."

Volunteers take a series of classes including History and Philosophy of Hospice Care, Concepts of Death and Dying, Communications Skills, and Grief and Bereavement. Training is designed for both those wishing to become hospice volunteers and those caring for and supporting a dying family member or friend.
For more information or to register, visit www.sachospice.org , or call Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice Volunteer Training Coordinator at (530) 886-6650. The cost for materials and 24 hours of training is $35.

I had to wait until after Christmas to post about one of the gifts that I made. It was my most favorite gift to give and it was for my sister-in-law! UPDATE- Scroll to the bottom of this post to view the recipes that I used!
Knowing that she incorporates green living into her life, I knew I wanted to get her something that was practical and green. I have been making most of my own cleaners for my house for a while now but always end up forgetting what recipes I followed to make my concoctions. I figured my sis-in-law probably ran into the same problem. So I decided to make an eco-consious cleaning recipe book for her. Here's what I came up with:
The book has three sections; kitchen, bathroom, and around the house. The manilla envelopes were used to separate the 3 sections.
I designed a simple cover for the book using photoshop. I also bought a bucket and filled it with baking soda, vinegar, corn starch, spray bottles, and some other items to help her get started.
I was soo excited to give this to my sister-in-law, but once we flew into West Virginia for Christmas, I realized I had left it at home. I was furious at myself.
In spite of that, my SIL was happy to receive her gift via the US postal service a few days later.
Happy Tuesday!
UPDATE! Here are the recipes that I used for my recipe book! :)

The Internet of Dogs: Tech to Track Your Pooch
Recently, the tech world has embraced the "Internet of Things," where just about anythingshoes, watch, caloriescan be tracked. So why not track my own dog, Abby, a border collieLabrador mix who likes to test the boundaries of our 5-acre property?
By John Brandon
Sunbeam Essential In-Ground Fencing System, $139.99
Because I live on 5 acres, this geo-fencing collar caught my eye. The kit includes the in-ground wiring, a collar, 50 boundary flags, a wire splicer, and the transmitter. The collar pulses at three levels of sensitivity to warn your pooch not to stray too far. There's also an audible tone when Rover gets near the invisible fence. Unlike the TEK and the Tagg trackers, there's no app involved. The major downside here is that you have to embed the wire in the ground, although the install is not as hard as it seems. (The trench only has to be about 3 to 6 inches deep and you can use a shovelno need to hire a professional installer.) Once activated, you don't have to bother with an app or handheld tracker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dayamip Absolutely love it I love the way it looks. It has no knobs, it is all digital, looks clean. It has the double ovens, which is great for holidays, or every day use. December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AJ An oven for all cooking We love the burner flexibility which makes the stove-top cooking more efficient. The blue oven is very nice and the convection feature oven cooks fantastic! November 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Duganboy Performs exactly as I expected and needed. I bake a lot of made from scratch pizzas and I wanted a range with double ovens so I could bake two at a time. Did my research on Consumer Reports (as I do for all major purchases) and this was the number 1 rated 30" electric range with double ovens. The ovens perform exactly as I had hoped they would and I am very happy with the purchase. Got it on sale at Best Buy so that made it even better. November 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by cappuccino Range top is so hard to clean I'm using the Glass Cooktop cleaner that came with the range and I try not to splatter when I'm cooking, but this smooth top is impossible to get clean and not streaky. Really don't like using a single edge razor blade to remove spills, but no choice. .Also cannot figure out how the infrared grill works or what exactly it is supposed to do. And my signature chocolate cookies bake unevenly in the top oven - back ones bake much more quickly. I've had it over 2 months now, so I feel I've had time to adjust to it and give a fair review.. November 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stan 62 The double oven is great and lots of features. The stove and ovens are very easy to use. The easy clean and self clean are excellent and work very well.The only con is the cook top is very hard to clean and keep clean. Have used all the recommended cleaning products and polishes and still find it hard to keep clean. November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tuna Perfect Range This range is almost perfect.You can control the temp on the oven and top of range as if it was a gas range. The only problem I've seen is that if aren't careful when using EasyClean the water can get inbetween the glass on the oven doors. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Golfgal Product has Advancd Features The double oven offers the convenience of baking/roasting various foods/recipes at the same time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gloswo Best range I ever owned in 45 years of cooking. I really love this stove and it has made my cooking experience perfect.I have cooked and baked for 45 years and this range is the best I had.I use the small oven a lot as there is just the 2 of us and big one (plus small one for goodie baking)when kids , grandkids come down ,also use big one for when I bake our farm raised chickens as they are a lot bigger then store bought ones.I appreciate the easy clean up as it leaves me more time to do the things I love to do.The aluminum finish stays clean,doesn't smudge easily,damp cloth clean up.I have had this stove for a few months and it works perfectly.I also love the little music it plays when things are ready.Makes me happy.Glad we bought it.All the best..G November 20, 2014

With its well-balanced selection of artefacts and exceptionally fine collections, the museum is one of the few in the world to give visitors a summary in reasonable time of the Mediterranean countries' rich and exciting history, from the earliest traces of humans in Mesopotamia and Egypt to the early Christian and Islamic cultures. The museum is in central Stockholm, in a former bank built in 1905 with a neo-classical interior unique in Scandinavian architectural history and therefore well worth seeing itself. The museum's Oriental café gives visitors a magnificent view of the Royal palace and centre.
