Durham's reputation as "America's Foodiest Small Town" is well-earned. Consider yourself warned: Durham takes its food and drink seriously. Nestled amongst the natural abundance of the Piedmont region, local chefs (including several James Beard award winners) feature locally grown products in unique and creative ways.
Below are just a few local favorites including a list of restaurants recommended by the DBA. Professor Steven L. Schwarcz also regularly dines at restaurants in Durham and the surrounding area and maintains a list of recommendations and reviews.
It all started in a shed at the Durham Farmers' Market. But after the sweet and savory pies and famous donut muffins were snatched up within an hour, week after week, Scratch was born. This little bistro offers the finest baked goods served anywhere, perfectly paired with Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea, as well as seasonally changing breakfast and lunch menus with ingredients from local farms and businesses. Try the signature Shaker lemon pie!
Only Burger
The food truck craze hit Durham early and has only grown since. This locally grown favorite can be spotted on Duke's campus and in the surrounding downtown neighborhood. Follow the truck via Twitter, or visit the Only Burger restaurant on Shannon Road for their fries and burgers made with local ingredients.
Everything at Nana's seems perfect. With a changing menu of Southern regional cuisine with strong Italian and French influences, the food, service, atmosphere, and wine list at Nana's are all expertly crafted and lend an unmatched and unexpected sophistication to this little corner of Durham. A great choice for special occasions and romantic dinners.
No menu in Durham is quite as aggressive or creative as the one Executive Chef Jim Anile puts together at Revolution. Located in the heart of downtown, Revolution epitomizes the rebirth of Durham. With white décor, tile mosaics and one of the trendiest bars around, Revolution matches the beauty of their menu with the aesthetics of the restaurant. Ox tongue, haystack shrimp and octopus salad are just a few of the innovative creations on the menu. When out to impress a date or a client, look no further than Revolution.
Cosmic Cantina
A true gem of Durham, Cosmic Cantina consistently gives patrons the most bang for the buck. Located at the corner of Ninth St. and Perry St., Cosmic serves a cheap burrito that looks like it needs to be airlifted to your table. Cosmic Cantina is great for a quick lunch, a cheap dinner or a late night snack (they are open until 4 a.m.) It's best to go with someone who has been there before, since finding Cosmic is a bit difficult; it gives hole-in-the-wall a whole new meaning, but definitely a buried treasure once you find it.
Dain's Place
Serving one of the best burgers in the country, Dain's was featured on Man v. Food and deservedly so. One of the feature items is 'The Defibrillator," a burger that needs no further explanation. Bring your appetite when you go to Dain's and be sure to try one of the many microbrews available.
Mt. Fuji
Some of the best Asian cuisine in Durham is located in the far right corner of Brightleaf Square. Mt. Fuji is a place that is guaranteed to bring customers back. With flavor and presentation that far outweigh the modest prices, Mt. Fuji is an absolute steal. The biggest attraction is for sushi fans, who take advantage of the half-price specials. If going out for sushi, a $20 bill is more than enough to cover the cost for two.
Mellow Mushroom
It's hard to put into words a way to describe Mellow Mushroom. The specialty pizzas come in a myriad of options, none of which disappoint. Located across from the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the American Tobacco Campus, there is always a crowd to be found at Mellow Mushroom. There is something there for everyone: gluten-free crust, vegan options, endless toppings, and a great atmosphere. Mellow Mushroom is the go-to place on a Friday or Saturday night in Durham.
Alivia's Durham Bistro
From a good Sunday brunch to an intimate date night, Alivia's is fitting for almost any occasion. Complete with an outdoor patio that can be enclosed during poor weather and has fire pits for the winter months, Alivia's always accommodates. Their menu is full of Southern specialties like shrimp and grits and BBQ sliders, guaranteed to delight. It's easy to find at the corner of Main St. and Gregson St. Just look for the packed patio during a weekend afternoon. When the sun goes down Alivia's turns up the ambiance with its "fire lit" seating, sure to impress and set the mood.
Elmo's Diner
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why skip it? Elmo's is sure to start your day off right with fast and friendly service and the best breakfast in Durham. Pancakes, omelets, bacon and eggs, and grits ... all the classics, dished up hot and fresh daily. Elmo's serves lunch and dinner as well. Do expect to wait a few minutes on the weekends as Elmo's is always packed.
Fishmonger's Restaurant and Oyster Bar
Fishmonger's gives off the vibe of a local beach community joint, right in the middle of downtown Durham. Patrons come for the specials like mahi-mahi, trigger fish, red snapper and oysters, but come back for the top-notch veggies and sides. The picnic benches and disposable paper tablecloths give Fishmonger's a casual feel, but with upscale taste.
Local Yogurt
If you're in need of a healthy, delicious and fun alternative to ice cream, then look no further than Local Yogurt. Known as Loyo, this frozen yogurt shop serves up flavors made with all-natural ingredients along with toppings from local farms and vendors. While flavors and toppings rotate on a regular basis, the family-friendly environment and cheerful spirit remains the same.
Durham Farmers' Market
Filled with a wide variety of local producers (all vendors are located within 70 miles of the market) and conveniently located at Durham's Central Park, the Farmers' Market is your go-to location for fresh and delicious food. Open year round on Saturdays and half the year on Wednesdays, it has everything from locally raised produce, eggs, meats, and honey, as well as delicious locally made cheese and baked goods.
The Food Truck Scene
Durham has a well-established convoy of food trucks. Durham's trucks offer everything you could possibly want from Korean BBQ to pizza to dumplings to cupcakes to gourmet grilled cheese and more! You can often find them parked in front of local drinking establishments lacking kitchens of their own, as well as around the Duke campus and throughout downtown Durham. A few times a year, a number of the trucks pull together for the delicious food truck rodeo. Don't miss it!

The Blue Corn Café offers high quality fare and a nice low-key atmosphere. If you are looking for a more authentic experience, check out La Vaquita, known for good mole and easily recognized by the cow on the roof.

- Dale's, 811 Ninth St., Durham, 919-286-1760
Sitar, 3630 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd., Durham, 919-490-1326
Saffron has some of the best Indian food in the Triangle. It is pricey and Morrisville is kind of a schlep, but you will love the romantic atmosphere, great wine list, and the delicious food with high-quality ingredients. Branch out from the usual tikka masala by trying the cauliflower and nut flavors of Saffron's Ghobi or the minty Paneer Pasanda, both vegetarian. Dale's is much closer and offers a nice spread for buffet lunch. Sitar is locally owned and its delicious cuisine has frequently made the "best of" lists.

Bailey's, with its good food, good crowd and lots of excitement make for a can't-miss night out. Also try the Carolina Ale House, near the Super Target on business 15/501.

Vine Sushi and Thai, 607 Broad St., Durham 919-294-8382
Every night at Sushi Love is BOGO on dine-in rolls and it is the closest to the Law School. Mt. Fuji is popular with law students for its BOGO sushi every night and a number of drink specials. Shiki Sushi is located near Southpoint and is another favorite. Vine Sushi, near the Whole Foods next to East Campus, offers lunch combo deals served in a more laid-back environment.

Sushi Love, 2812 Erwin Rd., 919-309-2401
It is easy to get good Thai food in Durham, but these three places are the favorites. For a quiet atmosphere, good flavor, and a convenient location we have to pick Thai Café as the best. The owner is often on hand to greet you as you enter. Although primarily known for their sushi, Vine and Sushi Love have some tasty Thai options.
Best Pub Food
- Tyler's Taproom, American Tobacco District, 324 Blackwell St., Durham, 919-433-0345
- The Federal, 914 W. Main St. Durham, 919-680-8611
Geer Street Garden, 644 Foster St., Durham, 919-688-2900
One of the most popular bars in town, Tyler's Taproom is in the hip American Tobacco District. This is the ideal place to go before a Durham Bulls game or after a bike ride on the American Tobacco Trail. The food is creative and often gives a local twist to pub classics: think fried catfish and chips. The beer list is as long and dense as your Torts casebook. Many law students also take advantage of Tyler's Wednesday Pint Nights where you get to keep the glass of the featured Pint on Tap. The Federal, right next door to James Joyce, also has an incredible menu. The chef uses fresh, local ingredients that vary with the seasons.

Elmo's offers the classic diner experience, with excellent blueberry pancakes and other treats. Guglhupf features a fancier setting and specializes in German offerings and local fare. If you don't feel like waiting in line, which regrettably tends to happen at both Elmo's and Guglhupf, try a more traditional diner experience at Rick's. Foster's also has great breakfast food, with fresh ingredients and delicious baked goods. Parker and Otis is a really great market/restaurant. Go on a weekend and get brunch or lunch and sit on the patio. The Nasher Museum Café menu changes seasonally and features products from local sources, served in a unique setting that's lovely for weekend brunch.

Hummingbird Bakery, 721 Broad Street, Durham, 919-908-6942

If you like shrimp and grits, they do them better than almost anyone. Crook's represents the fancy side of Southern.

The Café at Whole Foods Market, 621 Broad St., Durham, 919-286-2290
Most restaurants in Durham can accommodate a vegetarian palate, but the Sage Café is one of the few purely vegetarian options in the area. Even if you are a meat lover, this is a worthwhile experience. Straddling the border between Chapel Hill and Carrboro and located on an oddly shaped triangular piece of land, the Spotted Dog offers great food at decent prices. Both the Weaver Street Market and the Durham Whole Foods offer pay-by-the-pound prepared food that is healthy and delicious.
Best Greek

Mediterra Grill, 2608 Erwin Rd., Durham, 919-383-0066
Opa! If you're looking for Greek food, come to Spartacus, near the Super Target on business 15/501. The flaming Saganaki is especially recommended. Although they specialize in a Lebanese-Greek fusion, Baba Ghannouj is one of the few other options in town. Their greek salad is especially tasty. Mediterra Grill, situated in the Duke Hospital area, is a family owned and operated restaurant with a unique take on Greek and Lebanese food.
Best Ice Cream and Frozen Treats
- Locopops, 2604A Hillsborough Rd., Durham, 919-286-3500
- Maple View Farm, 6900 Rocky Ridge Rd., Hillsborough, 919-960-5535
- Local Yogurt, 2816 Erwin Rd., Durham, 919-382-7400
The Parlour, 117 Market St., Durham, 919-564-7999
Locopops is truly a local treasure. They serve the most creative popsicle flavors (e.g. Honeydew Lemon Verbena or Cucumber Chile) and are perfect for a summer afternoon. The flavors rotate extensively day-to-day. Watch out, they're habit-forming. Located just outside of Chapel Hill, Maple View Farm offers scenic views of open farmland, Holstein cows and fresh churned ice cream . On a nice day, you can sit on the porch outside the store and relax in their comfortable rocking chairs. Local Yogurt has a shop near the Law School and often has specials for students.

Best Pizza
- Randy's Pizza, several locations including 1813 Martin Luther King Parkway #1, Durham, 919-490-6850; 4810 Hope Valley Rd., Durham, 919-403-6850
- Enzo's Pizza Co., 2608 Erwin Rd., Durham, 919-309-3696
- The Pizzeria, West Village, 604 Fernway Ave., Durham, 919-890-3853
- Amante Gourmet Pizza, 3825 South Roxboro Rd., Durham, 919-572-2345
Lilly's Pizza, 810 W. Peabody St., Durham, 919-797-2554
There are many pizza options in Durham and everyone has their own favorite style. Randy's serves New York style pizza available by the slice. They do deliver, but since their pizza gets tough when it gets cold, takeout is best. If you want to make your own pizza, they also will sell you the dough. Enzo's is very close to the Law School and offers some great pies. The Pizzeria is a hidden gem. Try their Grandma Style or any of their specials. Amante (and Enzo's) is popular at Law School lunch events and is a favorite delivery option. Lilly's serves delicious pizza made with organic and local ingredients.
Best BBQ
- Allen & Son, 6203 Millhouse Rd., Chapel Hill (Hwy 86, between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, one mile north of I-40), 919-942-7576
- The Original Q Shack, 2510 University Dr., Durham, 919-402-4227
Bullock's, 3330 Quebec Dr., Durham, 919-383-3211
North Carolina is known for its barbeque, and the Triangle is no exception. To get the real experience, you must make a pilgrimage to Allen & Son. The atmosphere is best described as Southern Gothic, but Keith Allen gets up at four o'clock each morning to get the pit going and to prepare the best pulled pork in the region. The sauce changes a little every day, so the experience is never quite the same each time. If you don't want to drive as far, go to the Texas-style Q Shack. Professor Ernie Young (from Texas) refuses to go anywhere else. The pork does not match Allen & Son, but the Q Shack offers a wider range of options, including beef brisket and chicken. Bullock's is a local favorite, but it is more of a "meat-and-three" than a straight-up barbeque place.
Best Italian
- 411 West, 411 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, 919-967-2782
- Piazza Italia, Brightleaf Square, 905 W. Main St., Durham, 919-956-7360

One of the most popular restaurants in Chapel Hill, 411 West offers excellent and creative Italian, with an emphasis on delicious seafood dishes. The atmosphere is perfect for dates and meals with parents, especially if you get a reservation in the back of the restaurant. Piazza Italia has a less creative menu, but their more traditional food is universally delicious. Their pasta is made fresh in the restaurant. Located in an old tobacco warehouse, the atmosphere at 604 can't be beat.
Best Value
- Cook-Out, 3624 Hillsborough Rd., Durham, 919-382-2814
The Taco Trucks, All around town
Possibly the only place where a corn dog is considered a side item, Cook-Out is a regional burger chain with an endless value-packed menu that includes more than 35 flavors of milkshakes. They are open late and their parking lot is a real social scene at around two in the morning on a Saturday. The taco trucks are independently owned and operated, but they're open late and you cannot get more authentic or better food at a lower price.
Best Restaurant
- Nana's, 2514 University Dr., Durham, 919-493-8545
- Four Square, 2701 Chapel Hill Rd., Durham, 919-401-9877
Piedmont, 401 Foster St., Durham, 919-683-1213
Nana's exceptional food, creative presentation, and excellent service never fail to impress. For the best atmosphere in town, go to Four Square, located in a restored Victorian house. The food is nothing to turn your nose up at either. Piedmont has an ever evolving and menu based on the best locally available ingredients.
Best All You Can Eat
- Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill, 1270 Buck Jones Rd., Cary (one of several locations in the area), 919-481-2222
Lunch Buffet at Dale's, 811 Ninth St., Durham, 919-286-1760
Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill offers quite the dining experience. Select the meats and vegetables and sauces you want and watch the cooks prepare it in front of you. First timers get to bang the gong that hangs near the cooking area. Eat all the Indian you can at Dale's during lunch. It's not far from campus, so you'll have plenty of time to take advantage of the buffet.

I have been lurking around the forum for a few weeks now soaking up knowledge and now feel a bit guilty about not introducing myself sooner.
My family has deep roots in the South but came north on Henry Fords promise of $5/day. Although an urban Yankee by birth, growing up I followed the traditions of the rural South. As little more than a child I started hunting pheasant with my BB gun in the vacant lots near my house. As soon as I got old enough I was taught to shoot a .22 rife. Later I purchased a Remington 870 to harvest small game.
I live in a good neighborhood but it has begun to change. On my pre-dawn morning walks the dog and I now see bags of fast food garbage, beer cans and even liquor bottles thrown on the street. Yesterday I found myself looking at a bright yellow Get Out of Jail Free card with a bail bondsmans phone number near a bus stop. News from the City is filled with carjacking, violence and murder. Despite my best efforts to stem the flow of time, I seem to get smaller and weaker with each passing year. I intend on being prepared should I be tested.

FCC's Copps: FM Chips Needed in Cell Phones
Washington - Sep 8, 2011 - During his comments at a webinar on public safety, FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps commented on the importance of public communications during emergencies. He stressed the need to "find solutions that will protect our country in times of emergency." He also lamented that we shouldn't need emergency events such as the recent hurricanes and storms or the anniversary of 9/11 to remind us of the importance of public warning. His comments noted that there are often serious communication issues during an emergency.
The theme of the webinar looked at reporting network outages, and Copps focused on the importance of IP-based services when they are needed most. He then turned to the issue of adding FM receivers to cell phones. From his comments:
"I think the time is here for a thorough, calm and reasoned discussion about FM chips in handsets. We all acknowledge the need for redundancy in communications - especially emergency communications - and last week, during the earthquake, a lot of folks were only able to get information through radio broadcasts when the phone networks got congested. What are the pros and cons of an FM chip? To what extent have other countries had experience with this? There will be a lot of questions to answer, but with the stakes so high, we should be open to discussing any and all reasonable ideas. And we must understand the sense of urgency that this requires, given the passing of a decade between 9/11 and now. Public safety has waited too long. Citizens have waited too long."
The NAB has been a vocal supporter of enabling and even requiring FM receiver chips in all cell phones.

MS Fails to Enliven Tech Stocks
News that the U.S. government will not seek a breakup of Microsoft did little to inspire investors on Thursday as they continued their pattern of the past week of dumping shares of technology companies.
Even Microsoft (
Shares of the Redmond, Washington, software firm fell 3 percent to $56.02 Thursday, on above-average volume. Microsoft stock was trading above $70 in mid-July but has been in a downward spiral for the past six weeks.
Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget conjectured Thursday that the muted reaction stemmed from the fact that the DOJ's move was already widely expected.
"Our preliminary take is that this is not new news and is not particularly meaningful," Blodget wrote.
In practical terms, the main end-result will likely be that Microsoft's punishment will be handed down somewhat earlier than expected.
The Justice Department's disclosure came on an otherwise gloomy day for technology investors. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 3 percent at 1,706, marking its third straight decline this week.
Thursday's decline came as investors awaited a mid-quarter update from chipmaker Intel (
Fallout from Hewlett-Packard's (
A warning from Motorola (
As for the Justice Department's change of heart regarding Microsoft, investors demonstrated Thursday that they weren't especially surprised. Under President Bush, the DOJ has indicated that it would take a different approach from the Clinton administration in settling the Microsoft antitrust dispute.
That certainly seemed to be the case this week. In its morning announcement, the DOJ said it informed Microsoft that it does not intend to pursue further proceedings on the charge that the company illegally bundled its Internet browser with its Windows operating system.
Instead of seeking a breakup, the government said it would try to impose severe regulations on what the world's largest software company may and may not do in the marketplace.

Jan. 16 was a big day for Cedar Key FFA. After two and a half years of growing and donating fresh food to the Cedar Key Food Pantry, the chapter officially donated four tons of food, that's 8,000 pounds of freshly grown crops, farm raised tilapia, fresh Gulf of Mexico reef fish, one hog and five deer that have been donated over the years.
The Cedar Key City Commission has instructed its attorney to give the local election laws a once over and recommend any changes and at least one resident has a suggestion for one change.
The commission, which took up the matter on Jan. 6, noted that changes need to be adopted by Feb. 20 in order to take effect for the May elections.
But at least one item was recommended by former City Commissioner Scott Dennison who asked that it look into codifying a residency requirement.
Empty Bowls Soup Supper
Jan. 28 from 5-7 p.m. is the annual Empty Bowls Soup Supper at the Cedar Key United Methodist Church on Highway 24 in Cedar Key. This is a fundraiser for the Cedar Key food pantry. Take home a handcrafted bowl by students or by Amy Gernhardt, Cedar Key Pottery. Take out is available.
You decide the amount you wish to donate for your meal and bowl.
The Cedar Key Commission meeting opened on a quiet note of prayer and a pledge, discussion about bridge construction, then went into a pretty heated public comment session as resident Bob Kay said if a cell phone and wireless broadband tower is built on the island he will have to move away.
Mayor Dale Register announced at the opening of the Jan. 20 meeting that Commissioners Nettie Hodges and Sue Colson were absent due to illness.

Special to the Beacon
While walking past the park in Cedar Key, a woman, a visitor to our islands, was observed taking discarded plastic and aluminum beverage containers from a city trash container and putting them into the green wire recycle bin.
Being sort of curious, I walked over and started a conversation.
"Pretty day."
"It sure is that."

This is a very cool piece. Has a stop watch which is part of the second hand. So the second hand(red) doesn't move unless using the stop watch. Instead the seconds are moving in one of the other clock faces. Not that I use it, but its there if you do. Date and Glow in the dark hands basically round it out besides the bomber case it comes in. Comes in a few different wrist bands, looks like rubber and leather are all thats left on here. Many people like the look and make comments all the time, kinda what watches should be about besides telling good time. Have had no problems with function or battery. The face is big and the crystal has not scratched, this watch is very durable! I have had many Oakley watches over the years and this one rivals the Time Bomb.

Cool Watch!
I'm a watch freak, mostly exotics so Oakley was a bit of a different choice. Ever since this watch came out I've like the look.... like a really high end, wide, bike chain or something like that. It looks pimp, tells the time etc.....whatever. It's wicked cool! That's the basic jist of this watch, wicked cool! Just like all the other reviews, it gets tons of compliments. Size is really nice and it seems bulletproof! If you have an extra kilo laying around it's a great watch to pick up!
Keith Bryan Johnson
This watch is amazing! Note: IT WIL BE NOTICED! The perfect watch for gear-heads, very masculine and adventurous. One of the coolest things about the watch is that you can adjust the "tank-tracks" yourself. All you need is a cycling /bike, Allen-Wrench set, no.2 bar, and presto! It has six-moving hands and runs off a sapphire crystal. This piece of art compares right there with the other well-known name brands, and for the price, it's a very solid investment. But the best thing about purchasing the Oakley Minute Machine was the attentiveness of B.C.'s Gear-Techs. THNX!!
Alejandro Torres
Great Purchase!!!
I love my watch, it's amazing - everybody ask to me about it and they can't stop looking my Watch!!!

This watch is the most beautiful and elegant. Best price and great benefit.

My Husband loves his gift! I got him the stainless steel tank. It looks GREAT!

First Rate Product--with one caveat
The Oakley Time Tank is exactly as it is described--an extremely solid, spectacularly attractive and precise watch. It comes with an extravagant storage container and instruction manual. One thing that I believe it is important to mention is that this is a rather large watch. It's not easy to tell from viewing photographs on various websites how large the watch actually is, so people with smaller hands and wrists might want to take this into consideration before placing an order. As an aside, this sites customer service and shipping were unbelievably efficient. I had actually had a lot of trouble ordering this particular item from other vendors (and even had waited for two months after placing an order elsewhere). I was continually told that the Time Tank had not been manufactured yet. But in fact it had been manufactured, and this site had it--I placed the order in the late evening and received it the next day. This blew my mind.

As we evaluate the various conflicts in the Middle East it is vitally important to be informed by news sources which paint the full picture of what is happening.

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Syria, Syrian, Wadi al Nasara, Homs, Valley of the Christians, Bashar al-Assad, Syrian Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Maronite, Christian persecution, Jihadis, anti-Catholic, Deacon Keith Fournier
TARTUS, Syria (Catholic Online) - The News Service of the Pontifical Mission Society, Agenzia Fides, recently reported that thousands of Christian refugees have fled the City of Homs and other areas in Syria as the conflict between government forces and Syrian rebels intensifies. These fierce, bloody battles have left these Christians extremely vulnerable. They are in need of our prayers and our solidarity. They are our brethren.
The Christian refugees were driven from their homes by the ongoing war and bloodshed in Syria between forces still loyal to the current regime and a combination of rebel forces which is sseeking to overthrow it. These Christians have joined the approximately 150,000 other Christians who are already living under virtual siege in the forty villages referred to as the "Valley of the Christians" in western Syria.
The Valley of Wadi al Nasara has been the site of a ferocious assault being waged by rebel militia against government forces. The rebel militia has settled in a fortress named "Krak des Chevaliers". It was once used by the Crusaders in their battles with militant Muslims in centuries past. This former Crusader castle is now occupied by rebel forces, many of whom share the militant Islamist views of the Muslims whom the Crusaders fought. They are engaged in fierce, bloody battles with troops loyal to Syrian Dictator/President Bashar al-Assad. From there they launch their relentless attacks.
The report insinuated that the Christians are "collateral victims" in the conflict. Fides reported, "The Christian civilians are "collateral victims" that are affected without any care! In recent days, a rain of fire hit the village of Howache, destroying several houses, killing three young Christians. And, in recent weeks, the Christian community in the valley had already counted nine other deaths." A local Orthodox priest told Fides News Agency that, "Christians - - are very fragile and they want to be neutral, but today our valley is beset by violence and instability that confuses and frightens us. Violence covers and nullifies everything: we are not able to be instruments of dialogue and cohesion, as we want to be." The priest asked the warring parties to "not hit civilians gratuitously, to respect the neutrality of the Christians for their faith and identity, they want to be a factor of reconciliation."
The castle which is now occupied by the rebel troops was built in the 11th century by a Muslim emir. It was later rebuilt by the Knights Hospitallers, whom we know as the Knights of Malta. The Fides report is charitable in its assessment that Christians are being killed unintentionally. Many other reports paint a much different picture. It is important to remember that Christians in Syria were there long before the Muslims. We have a two thousand year history in the Middle East. Syria was the home of many monks, mystics and missionaries of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of the most beautiful of the Patristic writings were penned by Syrian Saints and the Liturgy and hymnody of the early Church was enriched by the worship of those same wonderful saints.
Christians in Syria now only make up approximately 10% of the population. They suffer intense persecution. A recent report in the British newspaper, The Independent entitled The plight of Syria's Christians gives a different assessment. The reporter, Kim Sengupta, interviewed the Haddads, a Christian family fleeing Homs: "We left because they were trying to kill us," said 18-year-old Noura Haddad. She is now staying with relations in the town of Zahle in the Bekaa Valley. "They wanted to kill us because we were Christians. They were calling us Kaffirs, even little children saying these things. Those who were our neighbors turned against us. At the end, when we ran away, we went through balconies. We did not even dare go out on the street in front of our house. I've kept in touch with the few Christian friends left back home, but I cannot speak to my Muslim friends any more. I feel very sorry about that."
Melkite Catholic Archbishop Archbishop Issam John Darwish told the Independent that the increase of violence against Christians is the work of Jihadists who have joined the ranks of the rebel troops. He stated, "I have raised this with officials in the West, they must bring peace. The jihadis will not stop here, the war will spread to Europe. What will England be like in ten or 15 years?" The international Catholic Agency Aid to the Church in Need helps persecuted and oppressed Christians around the world. They interviewed the Archbishop before the Holy Father's visit to Lebanon. Their reporting is always reliable and they are a good resource for all of our readers concerned about our brethren in Syria and throughout the Middle East.
In October, the body of a beloved Greek Orthodox priest, Fr Fadi Haddad, 43, was found along the side of a road. He had been mutilated and his eyes were gouged out. A young mother and close family friend told Aid to the Church in Need, "My family and friends very much feel under threat. People from the area have said that extremists have gone through the streets shouting 'Alawites to the grave, Christians to Beirut'.They want to kick us out. They say that if Christians refuse to leave they will end up in the grave like the Alawites.(a Shia sect)
"Nobody seems to care what is happening to us Christians in Syria.The government we had in the past was bad but at least we were safe. At least we could walk the streets. You'd never think you might be bombed by extremists. Not anymore. Now it's very scary. Now they are bombing churches. Look at what has happened to our churches in places like Aleppo and Homs. The extremists threaten us Christians when we want to celebrate major feasts like Christmas and Easter. They don't want us in the area at all."
Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim presided over Fr Haddad's funeral Liturgy. He had ordained him to the Holy Priesthood in 1995. He called the slain priest a "martyr of reconciliation and harmony". He added: "We strongly condemn this brutal and barbaric act against civilians, the innocent and the men of God who strive to be apostles of peace."
Like most of my readers, the continual images coming out of the Syrian tragedy plague me. The horrors inflicted upon men, women and children by a regime which seems to have no conscience continually fill our television, computer and smart phone screens with an almost surreal regularity. However, the infliction of wounds and murderous behavior is not limited to the current regime in Syria. Some who claim to be combating the regime seem just as hell bent on killing, maiming and inflicting evil upon the people of Syria. These rebel troops are increasingly controlled by Jihadists.
Evil knows no bounds. It must be exposed by the only force able to vanquish it, the love of the God whose heart breaks for the victims; the God who is fully revealed in the Sacred Heart of His beloved Son which was pierced by the soldiers spear on Golgotha's Hill. That is why, in the face of all that happens in the Middle East, I try to pay special attention to the plight of the Christians in that ancient land which has such a rich place in our Christian history. I also try, as Editor in Chief of Catholic Online, to call regular attention to the plight of our Christian brethren who suffer such intense persecution precisely because they remain faithful to the ancient faith.
Last month I wrote an article entitled "Trappist Nuns in Syria Challenge Us to Live as Messengers of Jesus, the Prince of Peace" These heroic nuns intentionally moved from their motherhouse in Italy to this area in Syria to pray for peace and become a place of refuge for the suffering Church and others who seek peace. These holy and happy nuns of Syria make me proud to be a Catholic Christian. Their life reveals the beauty of the prophetic and timeless mission of the Catholic Church. In 2005 they left their beautiful Monastery of Valserena in Italy to found a monastery in Syria. They left a place of peace for a place plagued by the intrinsic evil of war.
They were inspired by the heroic witness of seven Cistercian monks of Tibhirine who were martyred in 1996 in Algeria. The witness of these heroic monks is chronicled in an extraordinary film entitled "Of Gods and Men". You can read more about the life and sacrificial service of these holy women here. I call the sisters to the attention of my readers once again in order to encourage you to pray for them - and with them for the Christians of Syria. These nuns stand at the center of the Lord's profound plan for this beautiful land which is the home of some of our most inspiring descendants as Christians.
They explained their decision to leave Italy and travel to Syria in these words: "There is another important reason for choosing this land to build a new monastic foundation, even if, indeed, we were led to Syria by the providence. Here, in fact, the development of Christianity started. It shortly spread throughout Minor Asia , Greece, Rome and then Armenia, India up to China.Since (the) first centuries, the missionary action was borne and carried out by a very much lively monastic movement, arisen in the same time and independently as regards to the Egyptian one, more well-known. Saints like Aphrahat, Ephrem the Syrian, Simeon Stylites, Maron, Isaac of Nineveh and many others following their marks like John Chrysostom and John of Damascus, started a very rich spiritual tradition. We want to follow in the wake of them, starting from our Latin and Benedictine tradition, convinced about the fruitfulness coming from a deep exchange between the Eastern and Western heritage."
We are living in a new missionary age. Whether in the West, where the memory of Christian influence fades under increasing persecution inflicted by rabid secularism and godless modernism, or in the East, which bleeds under the overt persecution from Jihadists and despots, the challenge we face is the same. We are called to prophetically bear witness to the Truth as fully revealed in Jesus Christ. We are called to "bear one anothers burdens and fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2) As we evaluate the various conflicts in the Middle East it is vitally important to be informed by news sources which paint the full picture of what is happening.

The largest watering container I was able to find on the web is 6 liters. That would still require multiple trips to the faucet. Surely someone has invented a kind of indoor "rain barrel" that holds maybe 5 to 10 gallons (instead of 60, as the outdoor ones do) that could be mounted on casters, and moved from bathroom shower, etc. (where a funnel attachment would allow one to collect water without putting the device in the tub or shower) and then wheeling it out to the balcony. I can't believe no one has invented such a thing. (Obviously it would have to have a hose at the bottom for delivering the water to the plants; and possibly a little handpump?) Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Thanks, Greta |

No, but you can buy a thing to screw onto your faucet so that you can connect a hose to your faucet. It's a lot simpler than having to carry water out to the balcony :) |
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Mon, May 8, 06 at 8:58
Like Marie said - hose! I have a 50ft "RealEasy" hose that is similar to a regular hose in its rubber construction (but is not like one of those indoor watering tubes or indoor/outdoor "coil" hoses), but has a somewhat smaller diameter than a regular hose which makes it lighter. Plus it has a standard hose fitting and rolls up into its own carrier. Best of all, it takes any standard hose nozzle so you can add your own nozzle if you like the adjustable-spray kind or want a wand type, etc. Without the hose, I usually have to do about 6 trips with my 2-gallon watering can to water everything I have out there (and do that twice a week when it's hot). |
thanks, Jennie and Marie. You gave me the info I need. I'm trusting you don't have leakage problems with the hose running through your living room (or whatever!). Greta |
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Tue, May 9, 06 at 11:10
No leakage. My kitchen faucet is about 10ft from the closest balcony door and using a 50ft hose, that gives me enough to do the whole 40ft of my balcony. I have used different sprayers on it over the years and leave it out year-round (although I keep it against the wall under a table so it stays dry). The hose looks like this: |
I got one of those hoses (on Jenny's recommendation). Found it had Home Depot (or maybe Lowes). Worked very well and a lot better than those small coiled hoses (and way less cumbersome than those big coiled hoses!). I really liked it but I dont have a place to keep it inside and when rolling it up, water does come out of the hose. So I would carry the reel outside to roll it back up. Unfortunately, my balcony is small and it was a bit cumbersome (my faucet is not all that close). And after awhile, I realized that it only took about 5 min to water my plants (I dont have room for a whole lot of plants), but connecting, unrolling, disconnecting and re-rolling took 3 times as long. So I am back to using a 2 gal watering can. BUT one of these days I will move to either an apartment with a bigger balcony, or a townhouse with a small yard (which will mean more plants!) So I am gonna hang onto that hose! If you have a lot of thirsty plants to water (and room to roll it up) I think it is definitely worth it. Lydia |
- Posted by marie_in_wa 8 (coastal) (My Page) on Wed, May 10, 06 at 11:37
Personally, I just got a standard garden hose. When I'm done, I hang onto an end, throw the other end over my baclony to let the water drain, and then I wrap it around my arm (elbow to hand) and stick it in a corner. takes perhaps 3 minutes (including the extra time I let it dangle to be sure all the water is out) |
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Wed, May 10, 06 at 19:49
Lydia - have you tried just unrolling the amount you need rather than unravelling the whole thing? Sometimes I only need to do plants at one end and I don't unroll the whole thing and it works fine. I leave it outside all year. I'm up on the 18th floor and god forbid that I allow anything to drip or drain over the side of the balcony. It was bad enough in past years when I had the upstairs neighbor dumping a wading pool full over water over the side of the building or emptying her mopping bucket over the side where that nasty water dumped right into my plants (killing a bunch of them eventually). I know here that those people who have furniture out on the balcony have tended to put the larger pieces with backs against the rails and they would certainly get splashed! |
Jenny, yeah I did that. I unrolled it to the length I needed to reach from my kitchen sink to the far end of the balcony, then put masking tape at that spot and just unrolled that much. When I was finished watering, I put the end of the hose in my biggest pot and let the water drain some, then carried the reel out to the balcony to roll it up. But it was still a good bit of hose. It really didnt take all that long to roll it up but in the height of the summer, the temps on my balcony can be 120-130 degrees! So during the week it was all I could do to dump water on my plants and get back into the air conditioning! So the watering can was actually quicker. But I love the hose, and I in the next year or 2 I may move into an apartment that has a larger deeper balcony that will have some shade and wont be so killingly hot. Then I will pull out my hose again! Lydia |
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Sat, May 13, 06 at 11:57
Lydia - Oh heck I know about running outside fast and watering and running back into the AC when it's hot!! LOL LOL I don't pull out the hose every time. Definitely no. But because I have larger older shrubs and now a tree, I do know that I at least need to do what I call "deep watering" on them at least a couple times a month and the hose helps in that case. Otherwise I'd have to double the 6, 2-gallon trips! :-o Having all my plants mulched really makes a big difference on how often the plants need to be watered. :-) |

A Fair(y) Use Tale
Wonderful educational piece by Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University using Disney films to educate what copyight is about. Heard of the term 'turn the beast on itself'?

Bonzer work from those awfully nice chaps (and ladies) at Open Rights Group. What ho!
I could write novels about the whole 3 strikes farrago and Mandy's Pirate Finder General nonsense…I'm not ignoring it, in fact I got a letter from Stephen Timms in response to the letter I wrote to Glenda. It was a form letter of depressing ignorance, government blather, propaganda and badly signed and did not cover ANY of the points I raised such as improving licensing and actual ways to improve the digital economy rather than kill it. At least Glenda who although she didn't agree with me about filesharing still passed on my letter and did her duty as a MP.
Still I do think you should write to your MP about this – with the closure of ThePirateBay and Mininova the clouds are gathering.
If you want to help defeat these evil foes who think that torrenting is evil, create Digital Economy Bills that actually don't guarantee anything for the improvement of the digital economy (funny that, not even making mashups legal!) but protect the status quo of Mandy's friends such as Geffen, and that filesharing is equal to running over and biffing an old lady over the head and stealing her purse, then these links are for you:
Video is still oncoming…predictably the last render failed after 7 hours. You can now see why I don't do video much!
Anyway enjoy this video which takes the idea of a disc jockey and makes it more disc hockey…this will cheer up those sad from the fact that Technics is being discontinued…or actually not (they apparently are discontinuing the midrange decks, but still producing the top and bottom range). Although it's crazy in these Twitter lightning-speed times that a tech firm like Panasonic who owns the Technics brand took 2-3 days to refute it. Wake up marketing at the back there.
As I mentioned before on the blog I went to Ethiopia and South Africa for 2 weeks, and to honour that occasion and of the 5 years of Radio Clash I resurrected the travel podcasts – with a twist. I shot video on my iPod and camera so there is a complete video podcast of 1Â 1/2 hours and also here is the full 2 hour music podcast it's based from.
RC 183: Take Me Back To Africa – video podcast Part 1! from on Vimeo.

Popeye and The Argonaut: An 85th Anniversary Story
It's rare that the reporter becomes the story but, as we celebrate the 85th anniversary of Popeye's first appearance on Jan. 17, 1929, that's exactly what has happened.
A newspaper arts & entertainment editor in California who was writing a story about the Sailor Man, his creator, Elzie Crisler Segar, and the history of the character contacted us here at King Features for assistance with background information, interviews and artwork. The result? A fantastic cover story on our favorite mariner!
Popeye and PEZ Go Way Back
Did you know that there exists a very special history between Popeye and PEZ candy? PEZ began making dispensers in the 1940s, and they were originally very plain and intended for adults who were trying to quit smoking.
Throughout the 1950s, PEZ introduced a number of more playful designs intended for children. In 1958, PEZ introduced the very first PEZ dispenser featuring a popular licensed character. If you guessed it was Popeye, you would be correct!

Elsevier Announces Two Tetrahedron Symposia for 2012
Amsterdam, January 10, 2012 - Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, announced it will organize an extra Tetrahedron Symposium in 2012. In an effort to bring the world class speakers in bioorganic and organic medicinal chemistry closer to researchers, Tetrahedron's annual symposium will this year be held in two locations, one in Europe and one in Asia.
Professor Chi-Huey Wong, Academia Sinica, Taiwan and Chairman of the 13th Tetrahedron Symposium Asia, said of the planned symposium in Taipei, "I am excited by this novel concept of having the world-class Tetrahedron Symposium hosted in two venues in 2012. This will enable many more scientists to participate than is possible for more traditional meetings. I am also very pleased that so many distinguished colleagues have enthusiastically agreed to participate."
Professor Stephen Neidle, School of Pharmacy, University of London and Chairman of the 13th Tetrahedron Symposium Europe, said of the planned symposium in Amsterdam, "These are exciting times for the chemistry and life sciences field and I am delighted that the planned symposium will reflect this, with an outstanding group of speakers. The symposium will also be an opportunity for many scientists to present and discuss their latest work in the stimulating environment of the Tetrahedron Symposium."
Diddel Francissen, Executive Publisher of Elsevier's Tetrahedron journals added, "Nothing compares to actually physically attending a symposium. With top international speakers such as Michael Famulok (Europe), Shigeki Sasaki (Asia), Clifton Barry (USA), the symposium can be held anywhere in the world. We are very pleased to have created more opportunities for researchers across the word to attend the event, present their work and interact with internationally renowned scientists. This symposium duplication is a first for Elsevier, and if successful, can pave the way for future duplications of symposia and conferences."
The 13th Tetrahedron Symposium Europe will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 26-29 June 2012; the 13th Tetrahedron Symposium Asia will take place in Taipei, Taiwan 27-30 November 2012.

33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself , but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: | 33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' |
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: | 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; |
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool : neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. | 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. |
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. | 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. |
37 But let your communication be , Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. | 37 Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. |

This is a beautiful dip that has a lovely creaminess to it but packs the kick of those beautiful fresh Jalapenos.
Here are all the ingredients for this easy dip:
sour cream
jalapeno pepper
ground cumin
onion powder
black pepper
The best part about it is that there is only 1 step.
Mix everything together

"I have made this recipe so many times I can't even count. It is so simple, delicious, refreshing, and SO healthy! I usually throw in ingredients that I have on hand, but the original recipe is my absolute favorite. Cilantro, red onions, cumin, corn, black beans.... mmm it is so tasty! Thank you for sharing!"
"This salad is so simple to make, and tastes like you spent hours preparing it. It is SO, SO good! It is light and refreshing, and goes well as a side dish or even as a small snack/meal. I made it exactly as the recipe states, wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for sharing!"
"I made a few changes to this recipe. I anticipated the salt content so I left out the lawry's and basil, the basil was because I don't like the taste. Even without the lawry's I thought they were definitely salty enough, which I loved! I also cut the Worcestershire down to 2-3 Tbs, even with that they were hard to shape due to the moisture. I'm no..."
"I'm so confused as to what happened with my recipe! After reading all of these rave reviews I was so excited to make this. I was SO disappointed! The flavor was awful- very sour and tangy. I used apple cider vinegar, thinking maybe that was where I went wrong, but I read other reviews who also used acv. I went back and triple checked that I used t..."
"I forgot to rate this recipe, 5 stars of course!! :)"
"For starters, I used brown rice instead of white and I'm sure this contributed to my problem. I read a lot of other reviews and anticipated that 45 minutes would not be enough time to cook the rice fully, so I cooked it for an hour and 20 minutes in a 2 quart dish. Even after that long of cooking time the rice was still very chewy. I give it 4 sta..."
"This recipe was obviously very easy to make, but lacked a little flavor. I added some garlic and that gave a little jazz. It's a great base and would be easy to add whatever seasonings the cook prefers. I give it 4 stars because it's a great start for a dip and very easy to add on to."
"This recipe was just as I had hoped it would be! I wanted to make my mom's recipe, but when I couldn't find it in my recipe book, I turned to Kittencal. The only thing I would do next time is cut down on the onion. I LOVE onion, but for this recipe it's a little much- that's why I gave it four stars. Other reviews said that it was too dry after ba..."
"THIS WAS SO GOOD! My SO and I devoured this chicken, it was so tender and juicy! This will be a regular recipe in our household. Thank you for sharing!"
"I didn't really care for this recipe. I think the worcestershire sauce was probably what turned me off, it was a little too tangy. I was expecting it to be a little creamier than it was, it actually turned out to be a pretty thin sauce. I don't think I'll be making this recipe again."

Service: good and efficient
Food: meat is really, really good. They do respect the cooking you ask which is not that common in mexico unfortunately. Portions are big, maybe even too big. Go only if you are sure you won't do much in the afternoon...
Sides: had a salad which was surprisingly good.
Will go back for sure!

"With this initiative, the Holy See wishes to provide a more complete overview of the measures taken over the last year to further strengthen its institutional structure in the area of preventing money laundering and the financing of terrorism," says an April 10 statement from the Vatican.
The Council of Europe's financial oversight committee, known as MONEYVAL, requires that the states or institutions it reviews submit an update on how they are working to comply with shortcomings highlighted in the "core recommendations" section of its report.
The report also lists items that are less important, which are called "key recommendations," but the entity being evaluated is not obliged to inform the committee on how it is progressing in those areas.
The April 10 communiqué from the Vatican explained that the European financial committee "accepted the Holy See's own proposal that this next report cover not only the Core Recommendations, but also all the areas covered by the Key Recommendations."
The Vatican's financial team will make a report on its progress to the full MONEYVAL assembly in December.
The original evaluation began in Feb. 2011 and the committee's report was issued in July 2012.
It found the Holy See and Vatican City State to be largely in compliance, with nine key and core areas receiving a positive assessment and seven needing improvement.
One item that has already been fixed was a conflict of interest created by Cardinal Attilio Nicora having a role in both the Vatican's financial watchdog agency and its monetary policy body. He resigned from his position with the policy unit in July 2011 but remained the president of the watchdog agency.

The Merrill Historical Society's "It's About Time" capital campaign for a new museum has reached the $665,000 mark, according to Bea Lebal, president. Because fundraising has been successful, Lebal said plans for bidding the project and discussions with museum exhibit companies are moving forward.
To make the museum a stand-out experience, consideration is being given in the second phase of development to offering exhibits that engage the viewer through touch-screen technology, video and multi-dimensional animation. As more money is raised, the hope is to assure that viewing Merrill history will be fun and exciting through engaging displays that are easily accessible and environmentally protected. Also being considered are methods to provide intuitive research technology for access to archived information.
As plans for the new building and the construction schedule are proceeding, the Historical Society is entertaining an offer from Habitat for Humanity of Merrill to contribute labor for interior renovations and finish work in the existing Heritage Center. Habitat has assisted other Merrill nonprofits with construction projects.
Remembering Bill
Generous friends of life-long Merrill resident Bill Johnston have honored his memory with gifts amounting to $2,500 to the capital campaign. Johnston died March 1. He was a member of the Historical Society board of directors and an active fundraiser for the new museum project.
History students
The Historical Society extends congratulations to Merrill Middle School students who have advanced to National History Day regional competition. The theme was "Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History." Regional competition will occur April 15 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
The students and categories are Paper: Anna Rasque, Brady Loos, Cole Severt and Michelle Tlusty; Documentary: McKenzie Broeking and Morgan Pettit; Website: Lyndon Janowiak, Morgan McAlister, Jonathon Stewart, Morgan Sondelski and Mykala Alft; Exhibit: Grace Huftal, Tanner Pettit, Kailey Schreiber, Marissa Gutsch and Haley Daigle. Eric Heeren, library media specialist, is the project coach.
Students have applied reading and writing skills, sharpened research techniques, asked questions and engaged in critical analysis about facts. They were challenged to draw conclusions based on evidence.
The Historical Society is proud to have on display at the Heritage Center a sampling of the students' entries. We wish them good luck in the regional contest.
See 'Roadshow'
The public is invited to watch an expanded antiques and collectibles appraisal event from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14, at the Heritage Center, 100 E. Third St., Merrill.
Mark F. Moran of Iola, who has been a guest expert on the PBS-TV series "Antiques Roadshow," honored an outpouring of enthusiasm to participate and expanded the program in length in order to appraise items submitted by more than 40 people. Admission to watch is free.
Unlocking History
Two programs remain in the Unlocking History community education series.
On April 19, Dr. Brett Barker, associate professor of history at UW Marathon County, a Civil War historian, will present "Civil War on the Home Front" in commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the U.S. Civil War.
On May 8, Dr. Jeff Moore, a physician and member of the Wisconsin Society of Ornithology, will ask "Birding in the Merrill Area - Who Knew?" Moore has identified 180 bird species in the area and thinks there are more. He will test participants' knowledge of local birds, tell about the techniques of a successful birder and illustrate his talk with colorful slides.
The public is invited to attend Unlocking History. A $5 donation will be asked at the door. Admission is free to Merrill Historical Society members and students. For more information, call 715-536-5652. Historical Society office hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, or by appointment. The office is closed on Mondays.

Robert Duvall turns 80 today, and that's an achievement all on its own. It's also important to keep in mind that Duvall has been in the filmmaking business for 49 years. That's 61% of his life. The last thing any of us dedicated that much time to was our Regarding Henry action figure collection and doing the math for that problem. Duvall is an icon amongst icons, a living legend that has put just as much love into his craft as he's gotten back, a cinematic luminary that still continues to make great films. Attempting to pay tribute to him is a difficult task not only because there's not enough space on the internet to do it, but because his career is a difficult one to wrap one's mind around. He's done just about everything except compose a film score, and he's done so while staying at the top of his game through almost five decades of Hollywood evolution.

Oscar Breakdown: Best Actress in a Supporting Role
Academy Awards By Lauren Flanagan on March 5, 2010 | Comments (4)This year's nominees in the Best Supporting Actress category run the gamut from a feisty lingerie-wearing mistress to a monstrous, abusive excuse for a mother, and while this category is usually pretty hard to predict, I'm thinking this year not so much. Here are the nominees for best actress in a supporting role.

I would really like to do the hex tile but all those grout lines give me the heebie jeebies! Is it possible to keep it clean? How? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just finished 2 basketweave floors. While not hex, still a hex-of-a-lot of grout. I used a light gray toned grout, "platinum", not sure of manufacturer. Seems to disguise "wear" areas, and I'm a decent enough housekeeper. Don't know your color scheme, but I've seen dark gray, almost black grout with white hex tile. Dramatic! |
I am leaning to black and white. The black grout with white tile would be fantastic! And I wouldn't have to put in those little black daisies. |

Pogo (dance)
The pogo is a dance in which the dancers jump up and down, while either remaining on the spot or moving around; the dance takes its name from its resemblance to the use of a pogo stick, especially in a common version of the dance, where an individual keeps their torso stiff, their arms rigid, and their legs close together. Pogo dancing is most associated with punk rock,[1] and is a precursor to moshing.
The basic steps allow for a variety of interpretations, some of which might appear quite violent. Pogo dancers have their choice of:
- Keeping their torsos rigid or thrashing them about;
- Holding their arms stiffly at their sides or flailing them;
- Keeping their legs together or kicking about;
- Jumping straight up and down, jumping in any direction, or spinning in the air.
Occasionally, dancers collide, but this is not necessarily part of pogo dancing. An uninformed bystander might get the impression that the dancers are attacking one another. People sometimes get injured when pogoing, but, more often than not, pogoers who fall to the ground are helped up instead of getting trampled. There is a general understanding that the pogoing is fun, not a fight. As the more aggressive hardcore punk emerged in the early 1980s, dancing became more violent and evolved into both moshing and slam dancing, in which dancers run and jump around, deliberately shove and slam into each other. The risk of injury in moshing is significantly higher, although it is generally agreed[by whom?] that moshers are not attempting to cause each other serious injury.
In The Filth and the Fury, Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious claimed that he invented the pogo sometime around 1976 at punk shows in the early days of London's punk scene.[2] Vicious supposedly invented the dance as a way of mocking people who came to see Sex Pistols' performances, but who were not part of the punk movement. Whether Vicious actually invented the dance or not, the pogo quickly became closely associated with punk rock. Shane MacGowan, himself an early follower of the punk scene, also attributes pogo dancing to Vicious, claiming that a leather poncho he wore to gigs prevented him from any other form of dancing except jumping up and down. In her autobiography, 'Clothes, Music, Boys', Viv Albertine of The Slits claims that the Pogo was inspired by the way Sid jumped up and down while playing saxophone. Another person also attributes the invention to Vicious, but claims the reason was that he wanted to see a band onstage so he started jumping up and down.[citation needed] Jon King of Gang of Four helped popularize the pogo as a stage move for performers.
