May 10th, 1944: The Nazis started a two-day massacre of 2,000+ Jews here in the largest village in the area. It must have been about that time that they took over 500 Poles to Germany for slave labor. [May 2013]
UPDATE: Two plaques on a monument mark the site of the Jewish cemetery. The older one, written in Russian, mentions "Russians" killed there and states the date as 1943 (incorrect.)

One person is dead after a standoff with police in North Mankato Thursday ended with over a dozen shots being fired. The name of the person killed has not been released at this time, and North Mankato Police Chief Chris Boyer says that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will conduct the investigation into the incident. Tactical Response Team officers with assault rifles had surrounded the home at Lee Boulevard and Lor Ray Drive before noon for what was called a "High Risk Welfare Check." The roads in that area were closed during the standoff, and nearby schools instituted lockdown procedures. The shots were fired after about 3 hours at around 2pm shortly after authorities entered the home. After the shots were heard an ambulance left the scene with a body. The property is reportedly owned by a 83-year-old man

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas revenue officials say growth in sales taxes helped the state collect slightly more in taxes than expected this month.
Figures released Wednesday show the state collected $380 million in taxes and fees in November, topping the latest forecast by nearly $1 million.
November collections of sale taxes were $1.1 million more than expected. Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan calls the numbers a sign that consumers and businesses have confidence in the economy to spend more of their money.
The report also says overall tax collections in the fiscal year that began July 1 totaled nearly $2.2 billion taxes. That's roughly $230 million less than in the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to the state's reductions in income tax rates.

OLIVER SPRINGS, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Oliver Springs is coming off one of its most successful seasons in school history.
The Bobcats posted a 9-5 mark in 2011, but it was a season that went all the way to the state semifinals.
Because of that success, the interest in Bobcat football is growing.
"A lot more kids are coming out," assistant coach Tony Keagley said.
" The middle school kids are coming up really excited. We're getting great participation in the weight room this summer. We're excited."
The Bobcats bring back five starters on both sides of the ball. Oliver Springs will start the season with an unproven quarterback, but that doesn't stop wide receiver John Sims from feeling confident.
"Absolutely we're gonna be good this year. No doubt," Sims said. "We've been working out hard. I have no doubt in this year."
Oliver Springs open up the season August 17 at Kingston. The Yellowjackets won last year's meeting 35-31.

Archived Story
Church News for Thursday, Aug. 2By Staff Reports Published 8:37pm Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Jackson Chapel
Bro. Dewayne Castleberry got the Sunday School hour started off with a good lesson entitled "The Author of Redemption." Bro. Gary Fant got the morning worship service started off with "Won't It Be Wonderful There" and "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder." Bro. Dennis Smith, Wanda Chadwick and Angel Bavar blessed us with "House of Gold" and "Right On Time."
Bro Dennis' text came from Jeremiah 40:1-4 with a message entitled "Breaking The Chains That Bind." We need to be faithful to our calling as Christians, but if we're not careful Satan will bind us down with chains and have us back doing worldly things. Satan will also bind us up with making bad decisions that will cause us to have to pay for our bad decisions for years down the road. There is nothing that Satan will bind us up with that Jesus Christ can't free us from, and all we've got to do is pray and turn those things that bind us over to Jesus Christ. We have got to make the decision if we want to be bound up with the things of Satan or do we want to be loosed from those things by allowing Jesus Christ to help us.
The service ended with several coming to pray, and the Holy Spirit was truly present.
Bro. Gary Fant got the evening service started off with "I'll Fly Away," "Jesus Is Coming Soon" and "When I Wake Up to Sleep No More." Luke Wilson blessed us with "Victory In Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me." Bro. Dennis Smith, Wanda Chadwick and Angel Bavar blessed us with "I Believe in a Hill Called Mount Calvary," "Mansion Over The Hilltop" and "Meeting In The Air."
Bro. Dennis' text came from John 3:1-6 — We as Christians must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. We must accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we must keep our Christian values and live the way the Bible instructs us to live. Satan is always waiting for us to mess up so he can get us back to doing worldly things. We must be rooted and grounded in the word of God so when Satan shows up, we will be able to withstand the wiles of the devil. The service ended with several coming to pray.
Happy birthday to Wanda Chadwick, Kandis Pate and Horace Wyatt.
Please remember these as you pray this week: Kathy Waites, Shirley Burnett, James and Marie Johnson, Gail Fant, Matt Mayfield, Carol Smith, Eloise Cleckler, Cole Gray, Ryan Scott, our lost loved ones and our servicemen and women.
Mars Hill Baptist Church
The Olympics are here! All the training, preparation and work are done, and the games have begun. If only we, as Christians, took our Christian training as seriously as the athletes who are competing, this world would be a much different place. We are not saved by the grace of Jesus to sit down and watch the world go by. We are saved to tell others about Jesus and His love for all. We are saved to work in the church teaching, cleaning, singing or preaching — not just in the church, but in our everyday lives as well. What will you do for Jesus this coming church year? There is surely a place for you in God's house. Be doers of the word, and not just hearers!
Bro William Short's message this week is from Matthew 7:1-7. This passage teaches us not to judge others, lest we be judged. Until we are perfect, we have no right to judge, and all have sinned! Don't try to clean up someone else until your own life is in order. We are to ask for the things we need, to seek and find Jesus, and finally to knock and the door will be opened. Ask Jesus to come into your heart, seek Him and you will find Him, knock on His door and He will surely open it for you.
Praise God for another soul saved this week, another precious person to baptize! God is good all the time! Remember to bring your school supplies for the WMU ladies drive to help those children who need them. The Brotherhood will be cooking for the entire church on Aug. 4 and it surely will be a great time of fellowship, food and fun. Please come and be a part of it.
As always, pray for our church, the sick, the hurting, the lost, our troops, our country and our government. Amen.

Are the Cowboys looking forward to playing in Norman for the first time in three years? Are they surprise by the play of Clint Chelf? Those are just a few of the questions that Smith answers in this video.

At the end of the course, Derrick describes how to upload photos to Flickr for review and comment.

Wagner can't get AAA batter out and you think he would have any chance in the majors?? I don't
I'm not saying that he is going to light the world on fire, but he can't be worse than Weathers.

Local Santa gets schooled on being best St. Nick possible
Getting to know Kriss Kringle
Each October, as leaves begin to turn and children start designing their Halloween costumes, the Rev. Kevin Fleming of Evansville's First Presbyterian Church starts thinking about Christmas and begins his transformation.
For the past four years, Fleming has dyed his hair and beard white, donned the traditional red costume and portrayed Santa Claus at a variety of functions throughout the community.
This yearly transformation requires more than simply dressing the part. It requires that Fleming go back to school before the holiday season.
"Four years ago I stumbled on a Web site for the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School," Fleming said. "I said, 'I gotta go to this.'"
Established in 1937, the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School in Midland, Mich., is the longest running Santa school in the world. Its mission is to uphold the traditions and preserve the history of Santa Claus while providing students with the resources to allow them to further define and improve their performances as Kriss Kringle.
"I've gone back three out of the last four years," Fleming said. "It's absolutely one of the things I have to do. I'm in a much better frame of mind after I'm with those guys for a couple of days."
Santa 101
While at the school, Fleming and the other Santas learn about all things St. Nick. From the mundane nuances of hair and beard care to the important developments of this year's batch of new toys, no stone is left unturned.
Perhaps most importantly, Fleming and the other students create and develop their own vision of who Santa Claus is. "Santa is different with every person that portrays him," Fleming said.
Regardless of the interpretation, Fleming thinks one universal principle should remain the same.
"Santa's a champion for children," he said. "He is the advocate of everything that a child should need in life — love, acceptance, happiness and joy. If you want to be Santa and you don't love kids, stop now."
With the support of his wife, the Rev. Wendy McCormick, and three daughters, Fleming makes 30 to 40 visits during the holiday season to elementary schools, hospitals and churches. Although he is almost always booked, Fleming has a hard time turning down requests for his services.
"There are a lot of worse ways to teach your kids to live," he said. "It's where my avocation and my vocation collide. I represent a tradition, a person who poured his life out for others, and who am I to not follow that example?"
Continuing education
Fleming plans to continue his education in the coming years. According to him, it's vital to his personal development as Santa Claus.
"In order for me to be the best Santa Claus I can be, I need to be able to go back to that school," Fleming said.
For Fleming, this isn't a passing fancy that will fade in the coming years. It's become a lifestyle that he has embraced.
"The six weeks that I am in full Santahood are the six weeks that keep me sane for the other 46 weeks of the year," he said. "I can't wait to retire so I can do it full time."

It's wreaking havoc with her reputation as a hard ass--to some extent. Luckily, in professional circles, she's still the go-to expert for zombie issues.

Well, the powers that be at NBC showed their true colors June 26. I had just sat down to watch history be made at the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. Little did I know that within the next minute or two, NBC would do something that just took the cake for the liberal media.
The NBC (National Barack Campaign) network led off their coverage with children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It was beautifully edited. You could tell there was a lot of work put into that production. It was edited so well, they edited a key phrase of the pledge completely off the air.
What happened to "one nation under God with liberty ..."?
While they had their foot in their mouths, they swallowed toe to heel when they "apologized" a few minutes later, saying it was an editing mistake. You are not going to tell me they "accidentally" left out "under God."
The socialists, led by Barack the Muslim Obama and his right-hand (leftist) friends at NBC are slowly pushing our nation to a position to lead a one world government.
The progressive, liberal Democrats, along with the old guard Republicans, need to be run out of Washington as traitors to the Constitution of the United States of America.

The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I see both sides though.
I see this as a text book case in a restaurant management course as how not to handle a situation.
Rule #1: The customer is always right.
Rule #2: If the customer is ever wrong, re-read rule #1
Teach tolerance.
If the service was as bad as they said it was, I don't know why they didn't just leave before they ordered. A buddy and I went to a Hooters one Sunday afternoon many years ago. They were moderately busy but after we were seated, we didn't get waited on at all. We said something to someone but still no service. So after a half-hour or so, we just left.
I don't know why charges haven't been dropped yet. I doubt the menu said that the gratuity was automatic and people not leaving one would be prosecuted. They paid for everything but the tip and even though they said there should be one, how enforceable is it? Get them before a jury of people who have had bad service at a restaurant and they will get off with no problem.
Charging an automatic gratuity is something that could lead to sub-par service. Why give great service if you're going to get an 18% tip anyway?
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I think its silly to auto charge for the tips but if you go to a place that has that system you should be expected to pay the whole bill in my opinion though. Of course they should also make it very clear that they add it to the bill as well though.
Gleaned this from the article....
So if THE GROUP paid for the meal, and THE GROUP refused to pay the tip, then why just this couple charged? What am I missing here?After the $73 bill came, the group paid for food, drinks, and tax but refused to pay the tip
And the owner didn't call the police, the bartender did. If I was the owner, that bartender would be getting a good, private talking to, unless that is the owner's procedure for handling such a situation. If that's the case, then he's the idiot!
A Tip is suppose to be a THANK YOU FOR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, not something simply owed, like some sort of "given". So regardless of the service you receive you get tipped?
And the owner acknowledged that it took unusually long to get their food/service. It would have been a nice courtesy, as well as good for business, for that owner, manager, someone, to walk over to the table and offer an apology, and even an explanation, for the slow service. If you had come to me and said they were short-handed tonight, and apologized for the slow service, I think most would be sympathetic to that.

"panic" only comes from having real expectations
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I don't understand the police in this instance. They should of went there, ensured information was exchanged. And left it up to the restaurant to pursue it in small claims court if they wish. How would Judge Judy rule?
I go out to eat to have a good time. Its not just that I want someone to cook for me. I want an environment where I will enjoy myself and my company.
If I'm getting my own silverware, if my meal is an hour late, if I'm badgering the waitress to serve me, then I'm certainly not enjoying myself. In fact, knowing how I react to things, I'm getting pretty hacked off and veins are starting to bulge in my neck. I will definitely let them know I am not a happy camper and they aren't holding up their end of the bargain.
Teach tolerance.
Their other means of making sure the wait staff gets tips is to just charge more for their food and pay the wait staff better. Just put it in the menu that the wait staff is compensated through higher menu prices and that tips are not necessary. That is the way it's done in other countries. There is still tipping, but the tipping generally involves rounding up to the next whole dollar/5 dollars.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
The meal is not the issue, the issue is the strongarming of a fee based on a nonexistant delivery item, capable service.

Customer Reviews
December 2014
Excellent! Boat ride was very cool on the TSS Earnslaw; arrived to the Farm for dinner-Buffet Dinner was very good; then did a short walk around before the Sheep Dog show and shearing of a Sheep demonstration which were both excellent. Totally recommend this trip.
December 2014
Having been to Queenstown before and missing out on travelling on the TSS Earnslaw I was keen to make this booking with Dinner at Walter Peak. Our cruise across Lake Wakatipu was fantastic and the TSS Earnslaw is such a lovely steamship - my partner loved the fact that you could actually watch the coal being loaded to power the ship.
Once we arrived at the Walter Peak station our night continued to be great. The station restaurant was set up beautifully and decorated lovely. The staff were so attentive and friendly and the food was absolutely exquisite. We were lucky to have a table for 2 in the outside area with a lovely view over the lake complementing our faultless meal. We enjoyed the fact that the chef did come around to have a chat at the end of the meal to see how we were enjoying the night.
After our meal we got to experience a bit of farm life, watching some cattle dogs in action and a sheep shearing performance. You could really tell that all of the staff at the station took pride in their work and were passionate about what they did.
We really didn't want the night to end, it was a fantastic experience that we would love to do again when returning to Queenstown.
By far.. this was the best meal that we had whilst in NZ, all should be commended!

Teriyaki Beef Banh Mi with Sesame Cucumber Salad
July 22nd 2011By Jamie Geller
This tasty meal is a take on a traditional Vietnamese sandwich and a great way to use leftover beef you grilled the night before. If you don't have any leftovers, simply grill skirt steak or flank steak marinated in teriyaki sauce and cool completely. This sandwich would be great with rotisserie chicken as well!

Piri Piri Chicken Salad Sandwiches
November 4th 2014By Chef Tami Weiser
Making a fun mayonnaise is an easy way to perk up an old standby like chicken salad. Piri piri, sometimes called the African birdseye chili, is a chili pepper from the southern part of that continent and proud member of the hotter-than-heck family of peppers. My version is toned down considerably, with roasted poblanos. The dish offers a crunch from peanuts, often used in southern and central African cuisine, and a sweet bite of golden raisins, showing off a pinch of the complexity found in pan-Indian curries. And it's all tucked in one delicious little sandwich.

My family likes any night that is make your own. I prepare all the ingredients for them and then they assemble it the way they like it.

I added some crisped veggie Italian sausages for some protein and kale was served on the side or in the sandwich.

Grilled Vegetable Wraps with Creamy Coleslaw
August 17th 2014By Jamie Geller
Cream cheese on whole wheat bread is a lunch fave with the kiddies but I am always looking for ways to squeeze more veggies into their diets. Mommas out there, I know you hear me. I sometimes add sliced cukes (tomatoes just make the sandwich too soggy for school) but now I like adding leftover grilled veg from last night's supper. If you wrap it all up in a tortilla it makes it fun for the kids and feels slightly more gourmet than your standard sandwich cut on the diagonal (I do this when I'm feelin' fancy). To save time, purchase your vegetables already grilled from your local supermarket.

Greek Style Grilled Cheese Hoagies with Scallions
July 11th 2014By Chef Tami Weiser
This grilled cheese is perfumed with Mediterranean herbs and flavored with Greek cheeses, but it's really all about the grilled scallions, which become soft and sweet and luscious. After I flip the cheesy top slice onto the cheesy scallion slice, I usually smoosh it all down with a big flat spatula (a fish spatula works well) and then broil for another 15 to 20 seconds to get the ultimate crispy crunch and super melt. But my homey method isn't very pretty, so the photograph shows the sandwich made the neat way. Either way is delicious. Because the scallions are so mild, this is a very kid-friendly recipe, and you can make some with a milder cheese for your more timid eaters (try Swiss or even mozzarella, but note that these cheeses melt much, much faster than the more solid cheeses, so stand guard at the oven).
Druze Laffa with Preserved Lemons, Cucumber and Labneh

My Blueberry and Cheese Quesadillas make for a lovely summer lunch. Filled with blueberries, sliced peaches, goat cheese, red onion and thyme you can savor them warm or at room temp. In Israel (or anywhere else for that matter) you can skip the blueberries and instead add sliced plums, strawberries or even pitted cherries.

With hectic lifestyles today it seems like everyone is on the go and can't find time to keep their bodies in shape. We see advertisements each day both on television and the internet of all these magical weight loss cures, but in reality the only thing that does work is old tried and true method of working out.
Perhaps you have always thought about working out but don't know where to get begin? Maybe you've tried before but like so many others you can't keep it going? Well that's most likely the case because a good work out plan is just that, it needs to have a plan and then you need to follow through on it.
It is always easier said than done but working out doesn't have to be that difficult if you set goals. The easiest way to begin a workout program is to start out slow and build yourself up. Starting off too fast with high expectations may only lead to disappointment if you can't meet your lofty goals. Additionally, if you have never exercised before there is a good chance you could suffer a major injury that would set you back for a very long time.
In the beginning we want to take it slow and ease ourselves into a workout routine. Start off with a little bit of cardio, such as walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes a day. You need to get your heat rate up and get your body moving. Stretching is also extremely important as this helps limber up stiff joints and gets the blood flowing before you begin to exercise.
When starting an exercise routine the key is to begin with a moderate program and also change your eating habits. A good workout routine is best when it is combined with healthy eating habits. There are plenty of healthy eating recipes on the internet that you could follow. Some of them are even geared towards giving you the right amount of energy to get the most out of your workouts.
The gym is an excellent place to workout, but for some of us it can be embarrassing when we aren't in shape. Keep in mind that everyone there is in the same boat as you and would like to change their body and be in better shape. If you go to the gym with the mindset of improving yourself, you will block out everyone around you and concentrate on meeting your goals.
At the gym there are plenty of fun exercise classes to take that get your body moving around where you can shed the weight fast. Everybody there wants to help you get into shape so ask question if you are unsure how to do certain exercises.
At home it is good idea to get out and take a walk around the block. Just walking around can help elevate your heart rate and burn off excess fat. You could even build yourself a home gym if you don't feel like joining a club. Then you have no excuses at all since the equipment is right there waiting to be used each day.
Keeping in shape is full-time responsibility but if you really put your mind too there is no reason why you can be successful at it.

Lubango — The Serbian Aviation and Air Defence commander, gen. Ranko Zivak, said Wednesday in Lubango, southern Huila province that his country wants to assist in the rehabilitation of the Air Force Base that Serbia, as part of the ex-Yugoslavia, helped to create some 30 years ago.
Speaking to the press at the end of a few hours visit to Huila province, the officer said his delegation included experts with the skill to analyse and design and he was sure there was room for his country to help Angola.
To him, this would be the continuation of the activities conducted by the company, Plano, an AngoPlano partner operating in the Angolan market for more than 30 years.
According the source, it is high time for rehabilitation and modernisation of infrastructures built by his country 30 years ago, such as the Huila province Air Force Base.
The Serbian general is part of the delegation led by the visiting Serbian Defence minister, Dragan Sutanovac, who is in Angola since Tuesday.
The Huila Air Force Base is the second largest in the country, after that of Luanda.

Prolexic predicts 2012 to see more DDoS attacks…
China Watch Blog reports that Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, has announced that data collected during Q411 global attacks against its clients indicates a significant rise in packet-per-second (PPS) volume.
"Based on fourth quarter statistics, Prolexic predicts that 2012 will feature DDoS attacks that will be shorter in duration, but much more devastating in terms of packet-per-second volume," said Paul Sop, chief technology officer at Prolexic. "Think of it this way. In the past, attackers had a rifle. In 2012, they have a machine gun with a laser site." Prolexic predicted this increase in PPS volume in its previous attack report and noted that attackers were changing their strategy.
2 Responses to "Prolexic predicts 2012 to see more DDoS attacks…"

Jacqueline Kelly, author of the Newbery Honor Book, "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate," returns to Los Alamos to sign her book from 2-3 p.m. Aug. 5 at Otowi Station Bookstore.
"We're delighted that Jackie will be here again to introduce a new generation of readers to Calpurnia," said Ellen Ben-Naim of Otowi Station Bookstore. "Young adults and adults are really captivated by this spunky, ambitious heroine."
Keeping family traditions alive is the main reason they are handed down to younger generations. They can range from a skill to a trade, to heirlooms. In Shelton Hank Williams' III (aka Hank 3) case, music has trickled down through the generations.
His grandfather Hank Williams was a country western musician. His father, Hank Williams Jr. followed in those footsteps and brought his own form of "outlaw" country to the limelight. Hank 3 is paving his own way, however, mixing his country roots with punk and rock, making a kind of "hellbilly" fusion of diabolical country/punk/rock music.
"I Am Love" (Io sono l'amore), screening this week at Mesa Public Library, is tragic in the old-school, highly personal sense of the word, almost Shakespearean with sensual but forbidden love and sudden, horrifying death all tangled in a gritty knot.
I'm talking high drama, with deep stares, meaningful prawns and powerful families on the brink of either triumph or destruction.
Luca Guadagnino's award-winning film begins on Grandfather Recchi's birthday, the day he announces who will inherit the family business as his successor.
It is also, rather significantly, the day his grandson Edoardo (Flavio Parenti) loses a race to the handsome, generous, cake-baking Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini).
Keith Richards said in his autobiography "Life," that Bobby Keys is "my closest pal. A soul of rock 'n roll, a solid man and also a depraved maniac."
Los Alamos County Summer Concert Series Promoter Russ Gordon, hopes that interests folks because Keys is playing with his New Mexico band, the Attitudes, Friday at Los Alamos National Bank. The show is free and starts at 7 p.m.
The Los Alamos Monitor has the inside scoop on what locals are reading. Otowi Station issued a current list of popular books for Los Alamos readers.

It's entirely possible that I've had my fill of superhero movies this summer.
After all, I've seen both "The Avengers" (fun and entertaining) and "The Amazing Spider-Man" (better than the other recent Spidey incarnation) since school let out.
So maybe, just maybe, I caught "The Dark Knight Rises" with superhero burnout — kind of like trying to stuff that last turkey sandwich into your craw five days after Thanksgiving.
But of the final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, I have this to say: "meh."
I've been to many concerts: country, heavy metal, blues and even a few rap concerts. I like almost all types of music and typically enjoy seeing groups perform live.
Despite the various shows I've seen, I had never been to a music festival until the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival came to Albuquerque. I wasn't quite sure how long the festival would last, or exactly what to expect. I did know this: in addition to the main stage at the Hard Rock Pavilion, there would be two additional stages on which various bands would perform.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Mariah Carey will join "American Idol" as a judge next season, Fox announced Monday, bringing her star power to the show that remains a ratings leader but has seen its viewership and pop culture status diminish.
"I am so excited to be joining 'Idol,'" said Carey, addressing the Television Critics Association via Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly's cell phone, which he put on speaker for the hotel ballroom meeting.

Hands-On: Aliens ' Colonial Marines
Recently, I had the chance to play Aliens: Colonial Marines and I'm going to try and write more than one thousand five hundred words about the experience without quoting Aliens once. Will I manage to describe two varieties of multiplayer from the perspective of both alien and marine without once using the words of Hudson or Hicks? Will I convey my thoughts about the small portion of campaign I experienced without inserting a Vasquez line or two? Probably not.

Acanthus syriacus (Syrian acanthus)
Fruits of Acanthus syriacus (Photo: Simon Khairallar)
Species information
Syrian acanthus, Syrian bear's-breech
Not currently assessed by the IUCN.
Dry, open rocky slopes, usually on limestone; field margins, fallow and waste ground.
This species is very spiny and potentially harmful to domestic livestock.
About this species
The generic name 'Acanthus' is derived from the Greek 'akantos' = 'spine', because of the spiny nature of the plant. The attractive leaf shape of this genus (most probably originally based on the closely related Acanthus spinosus) ornaments the capitals (crowns) of Corinthian columns, as designed by the Greek sculpture Callimachus (Callimaque). Excellent examples of this botanically-inspired architecture can be seen at the ancient ruins of Jerash and Umm Qais in Jordan as well as at Kew Gardens.
Some scholars maintain that Acanthus syriacus is the plant referred to as the 'nettle' in the Bible.

Geography and distribution
Acanthus syriacus is recorded from the easternmost extent of the Mediterranean, from southern Turkey through Lebanon, Syria and Palestine to Israel and Jordan.
Overview: Acanthus syriacus is a spiny perennial herb, 20 to 80 cm tall, with a spectacular terminal spike of large purple and white flowers.
Leaves: The leaves are clustered towards the base of the stems, often forming a loose rosette. The lower leaves are stalked whilst the uppermost leaves are sessile. The leaf blade is rather leathery and large, about 10 to 30 cm long, oblong or lance-shaped in outline but deeply lobed along its entire length. The lobes are toothed and spine-tipped, and the leaf surface is hairy mainly along the main veins and margin.
Flowers: The dense flowering spike is up to 60 cm long with the flowers arranged in opposite pairs. Each flower sits above a large purple or purple-green bract with a harshly spined margin and tip, the surface with prominent subparallel veins. The upper and lower sepals are large and rich purple-coloured, the upper sepal forming a prominent hood above the petals. The petals themselves are white or white-green in colour and are united into a short tube which splits dorsally to form a single 3-lobed lip. Four stamens protrude from the petal tube, each with a thick, bony filament and a hairy brush-like anther.
Fruits: The fruit is a four-seeded capsule, each seed sitting on a hook which assists in dispersing the seed as the capsule explodes open.
The Acanthus species of east Europe and the Middle East are closely related and can be difficult to separate, with their distinction sometimes clouded by hybridisation. Acanthus syriacus is no exception, being very closely related to the Turkish Acanthus hirsutus from which it differs largely in having purple, not green or yellowish, bracts and sepals, and in minor differences in stem and ovary indumentum (hairs). In the narrow zone of overlap in their ranges, some intermediate specimens have been collected, leading some botanists to treat A. syriacus as a subspecies of hirsutus.
Threats and conservation
This species is locally common within its restricted range and can be a prominent component of open 'garrigue'-type vegetation on rocky hillslopes, a widespread habitat within its range.
It is also able to persist in disturbed habitats, its spiny foliage protecting the plant against grazing. However, as mature plants are unpalatable to domestic stock and potentially harmful due to their harsh spines, local farmers in some areas selectively remove plants when they are immature. It is therefore becoming increasingly scarce in some regions, for example in Lebanon where it has been highlighted as threatened by the Millennium Seed Bank project, staff from which have successfully collected the seeds as an ex-situ conservation measure.
Acanthus syriacus is grown as an ornamental herbaceous perennial. The leaf design was used by the Greeks in Corinthian columns.
Although less well known to gardeners than its close relatives Acanthus spinosus and Acanthus mollis, Acanthus syriacus nevertheless has much horticultural potential, with its spectacular flowers, more brightly coloured than the popular species, and its neat, compact habit. It is now widely available from horticultural specialists. However, although it can grow well in temperate gardens, it is perhaps less hardy than other widely grown Acanthus species, a reflection of its southerly, lowland native distribution. It can also suffer from excessive winter moisture.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life world wide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: Two
Seed storage behaviour: Orthodox (the seeds of this plant survive being dried without significantly reducing their viability, and are therefore amenable to long-term frozen storage such as at the MSB)
Germination testing: Successful
Composition values: Oil content 2.2 - 2.4%, Protein 22.4 - 24.9%
The challenges of seed collecting
A team from Kew and the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute spotted six rare Acanthus syriacus plants by a road in 1998. They found no seeds that day, and returning the next year they found the plants diseased and damaged by insects. The team persisted and went back every year. Finally on their fourth visit they found ripe seeds to collect! These are now safely stored in Kew's Millennium Seed Bank. This plant is one of the most difficult species for seed collecting because its spines are so hard and sharp.
This species at Kew
Kew's Herbarium houses numerous dried pressed specimens of Acanthus syriacus including two collected from Palestine in 1846 by the describer of this species, P. Edmond Boissier. P.E. Boissier (1810-1885) was a Swiss botanist and traveller, whose publications include the pioneering Flora orientalis.

This is 3rd time I've purchased this coat tree. As an interior designer, I find it's perfect for small spaces in offices. The hangers make the tree more upscale than asking your guests to place their jackets on hooks. The base makes the unit sturdy.
Great bang for the buck!

Tourist Information, Antigua Guatemala
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Unfortunately I had not read the warnings about this agency. The owner is charming and speaks English etc . I used them to take a tourist shuttle, mini-van from Antigua to Guatemala City bus station. As soon as I got my ticket I realized I had left my bag on the van. I was the last person to get off, people saw me with the bag when I got on, no one else was left on the van. I ran after it as it pulled away. I called Cesar, in Antigua, who was rude and said he was too busy to help, but persuaded him to call the driver and tell him I would return to Antigua to get my bag since the driver could not come back to the bus station. This turned out to be a lie. When I tried to call back to see if he had spoken to the driver he would not answer his cell or his business phone. I had to call my family (I had had a family stay) in Antigua and have them call him and ask him to answer the phone. Finally he told me the driver did find not the bag and then hung up. OOPS two hours later I am still there trying to figure out how to handle this situation, (no passport, and they got my camera and all my photos, a notebook of important contacts and emergency numbers, a missed bus, where will I stay etc) and in walks the driver. WOW was he surprised to see me. I confronted him, but he continued to deny he had it. He could never actually look me in the face and was not the least concerned. So no proof, no crime. I made a window of opportunity and these thieves who pretend to be in the tourist business used it to rob me.
Avoid Ruta Maya at all cost.
Ruta Maya have signs on their wall that state ¨Be nice to us and we will be nice to you¨. This is rubbish! If only I had read the other complaints I would never have booked with them. They are rude and un helpful as soon as you need some help from them. They are only interested in your money, over book tours and buses and have crazy dangerous drivers.
Avoid the several Ruta Maya tour operators (they've got several agencies in Antigua and elsewhere in Guatemala). They promise the cheapest prices - but you get what you pay for. They might seem nice at the beginning, but they can be really vile and left several people I met in dangerous situations. Spend the extra few dollars and go somewhere else.
Unique Suggestions: Avoid the trap of being told that it's not possible to book a return bus ticket from a destination before you get there; that's rubbish. You'll end up with a very cheap ticket out there and a very expensive ticket on the way back - not to mention wasting your time away trying to find a travel agency that's open and can sell you the ticket you need.
Fun Alternatives: There are LOADS of tour operators in Antigua, take your pick. Don Quijote and Travel+ were very good, but go with whichever one doesn't try and rip you off and remember that paying a couple of extra dollars, doesn't make you a mug, as long as you believe you're getting a good deal and good service.
I fell into a trap, but was actually HAPPY about it in the end. when you get off the bus, you'll be scooped up immediately by "tour information officers" who are willing to give you info on places to stay and schools to study at. well, they usually work for ONE school and are paid by them. they will tell you schools in xela don't know how to teach, or it's dangerous.. i fell for the dangerous thing as the election protests were gearing up. i was also dead tired from not sleeping for two days. he offered to have me in the home of a family and asleep in an hour, and he did just that. the school was no big deal.. it's the teacher that matters.
Fun Alternatives: if you know you don't want to study here, just say no. have your hotel/hostel picked out ahead of time. these 'fishermen' are hard to resist!

Babe & Me: A Baseball Card Adventure
Title: Babe & Me: A Baseball Card Adventure
Author: Dan Gutman
KDL Description:
With their ability to travel through time using vintage baseball cards, Joe and his father have the opportunity to find out whether Babe Ruth really did call his shot when he hit that home run in the third game of the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs.
Amazon Description:
On October 1, 1932, during Game Three of the Chicago Cubs—New York Yankees World Series, Babe Ruth belted a long home run to straightaway centerfield. According to legend, just before he hit, Babe pointed to the bleachers and boldly predicted he would slam the next pitch there. Did he call the shot or didn't he? Witnesses never agreed. Like other baseball fans, Joe Stoshack wants to know the truth. But unlike other fans, Joe has the astonishing ability to travel through time and solve one of baseball's greatest puzzles….
