CALEDONIA, Mich. (WZZM) - Recently Grand Rapids was home to the International Herpes Virus Workshop and more than 500 researchers from across the globe met to discuss their findings.
One West Michigan woman has a very personal stake in the conference as she has dedicated her life to educating others about STDs and STIs. She even quit her job as an accountant to do so.
Janelle Marie, founder and director of TheSTDProject.com, shares her story in the video link above.
The conference produced some controversial data, but the whole reason for the meeting is to share findings in hopes of finding a cure for the eight or nine different strains of Herpes, says Steve Triezenberg of the Van Andel Institute.
"Science is a frustrating business," says Triezenberg. "It's not for a lack of intelligence that there isn't a cure already. It's really curiosity that will one day lead to a cure - studying something no one else has thought of."
Triezenberg says the main thing holding researchers back from discovering a cure is the complicated nautre of human biology and the relatively simple models researchers use.

Flights to Crete from Europe
Called by many the "Venice of the East", Chania is an amazing city bearing a rich, long history and culture. It is a blessed and privileged land with a mild climate throughout the year, countless beauties and all kinds of attractions. A crossroad between the East and the West, it has been continuously inhabited since Minoan times.
The old city of Chania, built upon the ruins of Minoan Kydonia, has managed to preserve its cultural heritage and traditional architecture and to successfully blend it with modern lifestyle. A walk in the narrow streets of the old city offers nostalgic images from the past. Unique monuments such as the Grand Arsenal, the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Venetian dockyard ("Neoria"), the Jewish synagogue, the mosque of the Janissaries, the archaeological and byzantine museums and the numerous churches impress even the most demanding visitor.
Gifted with a stunning and beautifully preserved Venetian harbor, Chania's old town with its daedalus cobbled streets, teetering Venetian ruins, atmospheric neighborhoods, splendid markets, sophisticated cafes and picturesque tavernas resembles no other city.
But the old city and the nearby coastal villages are far from being the only attraction in this magical land. Chania countryside proudly boasts five hundred villages, mountains with snow covered peaks, hidden valleys of citrus orchards, rivers and streams, numerous orange and olive groves, endemic wild herbs, venetian monasteries and miniscule Byzantine chapels, hundreds of miles of coastline and beaches of all types.
One could never forget Crete's culinary tradition. Following scientific research the Cretan nutrition and diet is not only unique in taste but has also been proven to promote health and longevity. A diet which, unchanged since antiquity, consists exclusively of products that the people of Crete produce naturally. The two indisputable protagonists amongst these are olive oil and wine. Their fame, untainted quality and exceptional taste reveals a long story (dating back to the Minoan times) and reflects the uniqueness of Cretan soil and local microclimate.
It is to be found on the left side of the modern port. During the Venetian period, it was an important commercial and military centre. The perfect spot for a nice romantic walk, especially during the night.
The fortress is really impressive and one of the special sights of Heraklion. It was built at the entrance of the Venetian port in order to protect from raids. Fragments of the carved lions of Saint Mark can be seen on its sides. On the top, an outdoor theatre has been built and they use it during the summer festivals. The name Koules is a Turkish name, but the Venetians called it Rocca al Mare. The castle is open to the public.
The archaeological site of Knossos is at a distance of 5 kilometres southeast of Heraklion, near the small village of the same name. It is the largest and most known centre of the Minoan civilization.
Hersonissos is the night-life paradise of Crete. There are hundreds of bars, big hotels and nice restaurants. There are also nice beaches, especially "limanakia," a number of very small bays. Ideal for sea, sun and fun lovers. One hour distance from the centre of Heraklion and you can go there by bus. The buses leave from the station near the port—Kountourioti str, Limenos area.
Malia has plenty to do—day and night. Plenty of taverns, pubs and discos and a lovely beach. A great party place! It is ninety minutes away from Heraklion. Get the bus from the same place as for Hersonissos.
West of Heraklion is the closet summer resort. Restaurants, tavernas, cafés, music bars, gift and jewellery shops are available along the road, with some beach-side taverns. You can go there taking the bus from Eleftherias square (Liberty square) or by taxi.
If you are planning to stay more than a week in Crete and specifically at Heraklion, take the chance to visit two more great cities of the island with great natural beauties, gorges and very traditional villages: Rethymnon is 1,5 hours away from Heraklion (by bus), and Chania is 3 hours from Heraklion. For both destinations, you can get the bus from the central bus station near the port.Phone: +30 2810 221 765Website: http://www.bus-service-crete-ktel.com

ROOMIES: Tambellini and Hillen (1st in a series)Plus: Calling Nielsen's cell to stop him from snoring
[First in a series over the next week on road roommates].
Jeff Tambellini has enjoyed the last few weeks having Jack Hillen as his roommate on Islanders road trips. In his first full season as a pro, Hillen says, "I just follow the crowd and try to be easy about everything." As a result, Tambellini calls Hillen, "The lowest-maintenance roommate I've ever had in my hockey life."
Okay Jeff, so tell us about some of your more challenging roommates.
"Yash (Alexei Yashin) is one of the nicest guys around. Everyone knows that," Tambellini said today before boarding the Islanders 2:30 pm charter out of Farmingdale for Washington. "But…well, put it this way: we were on completely different schedules.
"On the night before a game, Yash would go to sleep at 10:15. I'm his roommate, and I'm a rookie at the time, so what am I gonna do or say"? Tambellini laughs. "The lights in our room would be out at 10:15, the TV is off, and I'm just sitting there like, what am I going to do for the next two hours?"
Any current teammates, Jeff?
"Frans Nielsen. Great friend. As a roommate? Good luck.
"One night, Fransy is snoring his brains out. I yell over to him. No movement. I throw a pillow at him. He doesn't wake up. We're in one of those great hotels we stay in where they over-do it with the pillows so I throw another one and another one. The snoring never stops.
"I nail him with a book. I throw a clock. I'm totally serious: his bed looks like a convenience store. Finally, I realize the only way I'm going to wake him up. I'm going to call his cell phone. He's got a loud song and all the bells and whistles for his ringtone. He's conditioned to not miss a call because he thinks it's going to be his girlfriend. So I get out of bed, grab my phone, and actually call my own roommate!
"Fransy's phone goes off and he jumps right out of bed in a panic to answer it. It's me, the guy on the bed next to him. I ask him to please stop snoring."
ETC: Sean Bergenheim still has not been cleared to play, meaning the Islanders will most likely have to call up a forward from Bridgeport for tomorrow's game in Washington. Greg Logan reports that Joel Rechlicz will play against the Capitals and Joey MacDonald gets the start. Greg and I were at the same practice, but I didn't get that info! Once again, the veteran journalist teaches the rookie blogger a lesson. That's what I get for doing a story on road roommates…

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
Mental illness affects one in four adults in America. These rates are the same for African Americans though, unfortunately, the context may not be. As many studies have highlighted, limited mental illness educational opportunities and high levels of stigma prevent many members of this community from accessing mental health support.
NAMI's Multicultural Action Center, which works to focus attention on system reform to ensure access to culturally competent services, education and support for all Americans, created Sharing Hope to help increase available knowledge and resources about mental health within African-American communities.
"We're perking up our ears, tuning up our hearts so that we can listen and help one another."
NAMI video featuring African-American leaders' perspectives on mental health recovery and support.
Sharing Hope has been adapted for the Latino community! Click here to learn more about Compartiendo Esperanza, a fully bilingual adaptation of this initiative.
Click here for a complete list of all NAMI sites who piloted or have taken part in grant implementation and evaluation of Sharing Hope.
Sharing Hope Grantees/ Pilot Program of 2012
Sites selected to receive grants this year were tasked to pilot and help develop a newly created coordination and networking portal via Microsoft SharePoint. All former grantees were also welcomed into this pilot group and a total of 11 sites have been given access to participate and test out the Sharing Hope Coordinators' Portal to determine whether it will be more broadly used in the future. Of the participating sites, three were chosen to receive grant funding for the first time this year:
"We are alert and adapting to important new understandings of our community. We have an obligation to make our approach to the African-American faith communities one of grassroots empowerment."
-NAMI Texas, 2011 Sharing Hope grant recipient
For the first time, Sharing Hope grants were made available to sites previously funded in interest of helping sustain successful efforts. On April 1, 2011 we welcomed nine new grantees considered 'start-up sites' and five 'sustainability sites,' returning grantees from previous funding years:

The 2010 grant sites were selected in March to work with the Multicultural Action Center to expand and continue to evaluate the Sharing Hope initiative:
• NAMI Central Virginia
• NAMI Connecticut
• NAMI Lexington (Ky.)
• NAMI Oklahoma
• NAMI Southeastern Arizona
We congratulate these sites and enjoyed working with them as well as all NAMI state organizations and affiliates working with the Sharing Hope initiative. All NAMI sites working with Sharing Hope are supported by the Multicultural Action Center and receive technical assistance upon request.
NAMI selected eight NAMI state organizations and affiliates to expand and evaluate its Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health. Each of the selected sites received a small Sharing Hope implementation grant to cover the costs associated with implementing and providing program evaluative data back to NAMI.
"One of the best things that we as Galileens have ever done was to bring Sharing Hope to the church. We have overcome slavery, impoverishment, trials and tribulations. Now it is time for us to come out of the dark ages in dealing with mental illness."
An article entitled, "New NAMI Toolkit Reaches Out to African american Congregations," by Sally Osmer, Executive Director of NAMI Mercer was featured in the Spring 2009 issue of the Advocate. Click here to read the article (note, you must sign in to your NAMI account to do so).
The Sharing Hope presentation was piloted in Atlanta at the True Light Baptist Church (NAMI Georgia), the Galilee Baptist Church in Trenton (NAMI Mercer, N.J.) and the United Church of God in Christ in St. Paul (NAMI Minnesota). Revisions to the toolkit and the presentation were made based on feedback from these pilot sites and evaluation results.
A 15-person advisory group has formed consisting of pastors, NAMI leaders and other experts from around the country. The group first convened at the NAMI office on February 25, 2008 to go over plans for the project and offer feedback and recommendations. The Multicultural Action Center continued to work with the advisory group through the completion of the outreach and education toolkit program.
NAMI State Organizations, NAMI Affiliates and other individuals with experience working with African Americans in faith-based contexts also provided input to the Multicultural Action Center, identifying successful program models and key issues to consider during the development and implementation of this program.

Kendricks Redtail, also known as Chakat Redtail, Kaen Raelin, and Redtail the Oddfellow, is a furry from Chicago, Illinois and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, having served 5 years with two tours in the Gulf. Ken currently works as a corporate loss prevention manager for Allied-Barton Security, currently contracted with Invensys Control Systems in Carol Stream. Ken has been involved with furry since around 1999 and is an active member of Lake Area Furry Friends.
Ken's character is an American Red Fox modeled after his behavior and personality, incorporating elements from his real life appearance. Ken's normally ordinary fox coloration also features blue eyes, a blond hairfluff and glasses in most of his forms. He can often be seen in chat rooms as a quadruped, a 60' tall macro fox or even in the form of a fox-colored dragon. His dragon form is prevalent on Second Life, where he is a Guardian on the High Council of Wyrms, ruling body of Second Life's number one dragon community, the Isle of Wyrms.
Both of Ken's parents, Karee Bunda and Arigon the Golfing Dragon, are furries.
Origins and development
Ken has had many various furry incarnations in the past, including a tomcat, a goose, a tiger, and a chakat. It was as Chakat Redtail that the name Redtail first appeared; about that time, Ken derived a new fantasy character named Kendrix Redtail, based off a fox, an animal he loved and always admired for its beauty. Kendrix was intended to be a barbarian of some sorts, but in time he adopted it as his own persona and eventually lost the fantasy themes, as well as altering the name to Kendricks. Ken navigated the labyrinth of LiveJournal, IRC, and other mailing groups, meeting several other furries like him, as he established himself as The Sailor Fox. He longed to go to conventions and see others like him and meet with others, but Ken's furry contacts remained limited until he chanced upon Meetup.com on a local fur group in Virginia.
Over the next couple of years, Ken made fast friends with most of the group Furginia, most of whom he keeps in contact with — including Hiromi Kitsune, who brought Ken fully into the mainstream fandom. Ken became further involved with the fandom after meeting and courting a fellow furry who was also beginning to explore the depths of the fandom. Together they went to Anthrocon 2005 and attended several functions of the Lake Area Furry Friends. Ken later got into the fursuit scene, donning several in a short time, including his own fox fursuit, a raccoon fursuit and a lion. He moved back to Chicago to room with Rayven Wolffe and her mate at The Fox Box before moving in with friend, furry fan and gamer Ultima, also known as Mognooka or Mister Moggy. This living arrangement lasted several months before Ken moved again, this time into his own apartment where he lived for a year, before moving again, this time into his own home.
Ken is an avid spiritualist outside of his own Christian beliefs, and believes in unifying spirits and totems entwined in a great pattern, somewhat consistent to Druidic/pagan teachings. He believes himself to commune regularly with several totems, which include the Fox, Coyote, Dog, Tiger and Loon. Ken is also a transformation fan, often fantasizing about being changed into something else. Ken also holds viewpoints and opinions consistent with a right-wing conservative member of the Republican Party, but keeps his political affiliation as separated from the furry fandom as possible.
Redtail sightingsKen can be found in many corners of the Internet. On Neopets, he owns a pet of the same name and is an avid Neo-avatar collector. Ken contributes to the local fandom on the official LAFF website as a bureaucrat. Tauren warrior named Oddfellow on World of Warcraft or on Maple Story on the Scania server as the swordsman KenRedtail. Ken is also a retired Seal Clubber on Kingdom of Loathing, where he enjoys veteran and ninja status.
Ken is a co-founder and co-moderator of Chakat Heaven, the official fan club for chakats and other taurs. Started in 2001, it is one of the largest Yahoo! furry groups, with over a thousand members as of September 2007. He is an editor and administrator on WikiFur, having began editing articles in April 2006. Initially focusing on articles about local furries and events, he later branched out, being named an administrator in mid-February 2007. Ken, alongside with Samii Tiger, is the founder and co-moderator of RenFurs and himself enjoys going to Renaissance Faires and even dresses up in costume there. He also cosplays as the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who and is working on a Fifth Doctor costume as well.
Off the web, Ken is an avid convention-goer and has attended Anthrocon 2005 and Midwest FurFest 2006, 2007 and 2008. He has also worked as volunteer con security at Rocket City Fur Meet 2007.
Foxdragons (species)
Foxdragons (Draco vulpes) are a fictional species of dragon, patterned after a hybrid of foxes and dragons. Depictions vary from source to source in the fandom. While it is not the rule, foxdragons are frequently conceptualized as being warm-blooded, which may vary between being mammalian to based on the hypothetical biology of many dinosaur species. To further accentuate their vulpine connection, many foxdragons are depicted with full coats of fur. They also frequently sport details such as external ears, usually resembling a fox's, and may or may not have scaly skin. Foxdragon terminology combines both vulpine and draconic terms. Male foxdragons are known as dogs, todds, bulls, vixes (plural of vix), or reynard, females are referred to as vixens, and their young are called hatchlings or whelps, as well as pups. A group of foxdragons is a pride.
Isle of Wyrms Foxdragons
Found only on Second Life, the most notable of Isle of Wyrms foxdragons is the Guardian Redtail Oddfellow. He is the typical form for a foxdragon, a standard dragon form with black paws and bronze scaling with an eggshell belly. Ears resemble typical vulpine ears and are often a black colour. Two others are Fuechsin Kohime, a wyrmling who also shows the more typical red fox pattern and colors, and Llewelyn Mistral, an adult dragon who is usually blue and silver in a more standard dragon-like distribution. In total, there are 8 known foxdragons on the Isle of Wyrms on Second Life.
Dragontears Foxdragons
In the now-closed roleplaying game/comic project called Dragontears, foxdragons (created by Rebecca Ehrick) don't hold much of a resemblance to traditional dragons at all. Instead they have fur, long, lithe legs, and a catlike face, but their wings are covered with dark, thin, leathery fur, as are their lower legs and the underside of the tail. Foxdragons are the least dragonlike of the dragon family, but they insist that they are indeed dragons and anyone who says otherwise will get an earful. The smallest are the Grasslands clan, who also look the most catlike. The Forest clan look a bit more dragonlike, albeit still furry, and are more muted in color and larger. The largest--about as big as a large dog--are the Mountain clan, who look like almost as catlike as the Grasslands clan, only in gray.
Other subspecies
There are numerous other instances found in many MUCKs and also the work of Sylus Foxdragon.
Other tidbits
Ken is a virtual databank on comic books and can spend hours lecturing on both Marvel and DC continuities. He is also a major history buff and often spends time teaching others about various points in history. His favorite periods include the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. Ken is also a big fan of Doctor Who, to the point that he often portrays his fursona in a similar fashion to the Fourth Doctor.
Ken is an aspiring writer, responsible for the Phoenix Squadron short story series, as well as several other tales, which he posts on LiveJournal.
Chakat Redtail
Chakat Redtail, child of Starryeyes and Whitepaws, is an alias used by Kendricks Redtail in the chakat community and used primarily for online roleplay purposes and moderating the Yahoo! community Chakat Heaven, co-created and moderated by the creator of chakats, Chakat Goldfur. Chakat Redtail is a calico cat felitaur with a trademark rust iron red flanks and tail, lending to hir name.
Chakat Redtail started life in a quiet backwater corner of Canada as a small chakat, with hir brothers, an adopted tigertaur named Corran Whitestripe, a young anthro fox named Red Phoenix and a young foxdragon named Ken "Red" Oddfellow. Shi quickly showed signs of above average intelligence at an early age and was quite bright in grade school and by the time shi graduated high school, she graduated with honors. Although getting into the bad group at hir university caused hir to drop down to a local community college, Redtail continued hir fascination with annoying hir brothers while exploring other furry communities and expanding hir artwork. Attempts at relationships seemed promising, but after two disastrous failures in hir university years, Redtail finally met a young chakat named Chakat Diamond. The two became lifemates and Redtail bore a cub sired by Diamond, named Chakat Mistletoe. Mistletoe, Missy for short, resembles a white Persian cat with long raven black hair and is named for hir Christmastime birth. Diamond eventually passed away, leaving Redtail alone with hir cub until shi came across another chakat named Chakat Angelwings. The two fell rapidly in love and soon became lifemates as well.
- Lifemates: Chakat Diamond, child of Winddancer and Quickpaw (deceased), Chakat Angelwings, child of ??? and ???
- Companions: Chakat Gildedtongue, child of Gladelong and Creekstripe; Chakat Jewel, child of ??? and ???
- Children: Chakat Treasure (sired by Chakat Sandwalker, missing for several years); Chakat Mistletoe (sired by Chakat Diamond); Chakat Shadowstripes (child of Diamond; adopted by Red)
- Siblings: Corran Whitestripe (tigertaur), Lt. Commander Red Phoenix (fox), Ken "Red" Oddfellow (foxdragon)
- Parents: Chakat Starryeyes, child of Flamefur and Spartan; Chakat Whitepaws, child of Cherryblossom and Bigguy

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
Lim Leonard, owner of the Miner's Trading Post, went before the Sunnyside council May 3 to get initial approval from the city to seek a liquor license to allow the store to sell liquor.
In the businessman's request, Leonard explained that the state requires him to get approval from the local city in order to get approved.
He told the council that the liquor store would be a specific part of the store, separated from any other merchandise.
It would need to be locked on Sundays, holidays and election days.
The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which governs the distribution of liquor within the state, will need to approve the application before Leonard will receive the license.
The department defines package agencies as "retail liquor outlets operated by private persons under contract with the department for the purpose of selling packaged liquor from facilities other than state liquor stores for off premises consumption."
The state alcoholic beverage control agency permits package agencies in five categories.
Leonard is seeking a type two license, which is for businesses where the primary source of income is not from the sale of liquor.
If approved by the agency, the Sunnyside business would be similar to other liquor stores operated by the state and would have to comply with all established regulations.
Individuals younger than the 21 years old would not be allowed within the liquor store unless they are accompanied by a legal parent, guardian or a spouse who is of legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages.
Leonard would be prohibited from advertising the agency.
The Sunnyside businessman would be allowed to post signs directing customers to the location of the liquor agency within the store.
All liquor sold within the licensed agency would be owned by Utah and distributed on a consignment basis through the state.
As such, Leonard will need to apply for a bond to cover the consignment.
The councilmembers unanimously approved Leonard's request and agreed to allow the local businessman to seek the application and the bond.
Leonard indicated that he hopes he can get the application approved by the state alcoholic control agency by sometime in 2006.
In an unrelated matter, the council approved the sale of water to Alan Staker, a local rancher.
Staker previously received water through a pipeline. But the line broke under the East Carbon High School parking lot and the costs were considered too much to warrant repair.
Staker is the only user hooked up to the line and he only uses the water for a few weeks out of the year.
Staker's request contained various areas for approval. He plans to use a water truck owned by a logging company. The ground where the logging company is working is too wet this time of year, so they are allowing use of the truck to Staker.
Since the truck never runs on highways or state roads, it is not licensed by the state. Councilmember Sam Leonard, who oversees the police in Sunnyside said he saw no problem as long as the truck only ran on city roads for as little distance as possible.
Sunnyside suggested that Staker use the fire hydrant located in front of the high school, and that he seek approval from the school. Staker said he hoped he could also park the water truck at the school when it wasn't in use.
Staker will need approximately 4,000 gallons of water, every other day, for approximately six weeks.

Sights in Buenos Aires: Monserrat Catedral al Sur and Vicinity
At the northeast corner, renowned architect Alejandro Bustillo designed the Banco de la Nación (1939). Immediately south of the Casa Rosada, the marble facade of the Ministerio de Economía (Economy Ministry) still bears pockmarks from strafing naval planes during 1955's Revolución Libertadora that sent Juan Domingo Perón into exile.
One of Avenida de Mayo's literal landmarks is Mario Palanti's Palacio Barolo (1923), an office building topped by a rotating semaphore visible from Montevideo's Palacio Salvo (the work of the same architect). In 1923, when Argentine heavyweight Luis Angel Firpo fought Jack Dempsey in New York, the Barolo erroneously announced Firpo's victory with a green light from the tower.
South of the Plaza de Mayo, most landmarks are modified colonial buildings. From the roof of the Casa de la Defensa, porteños poured boiling oil on British invaders in 1806–1807. The building now houses Télam, the official government press agency.
Plaza de Mayo
Colloquially known as the "Plaza de Protestas," the Plaza de Mayo has often played center stage in Argentine history. The Peróns, in particular, used it for spectacle, convoking hundreds of thousands of descamisados (shirtless ones), their fervent underclass disciples.
Internationally, the plaza gained fame for some of its smallest gatherings ever. From the late 1970s, the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo marched silently around the Pirámide de Mayo, its small central obelisk, every Thursday afternoon to demand the return of their adult children kidnapped by the military and paramilitary gangs. Most of the disappeared died at their captors' hands, but the mothers brought Argentina's shame to world attention.
Ironically, throngs cheered the dictatorship here when it occupied the British-ruled Falkland Islands in 1982. As the war went badly, though, crowds turned on the de facto regime, whose collapse brought a return to constitutional government.
Following the December 2001 economic meltdown, the Plaza de Mayo witnessed major protests and a police riot that killed several demonstrators and forced President Fernando de la Rúa's resignation. Other demonstrators included leftist groups who deplored the "model" ostensibly imposed by international lending agencies, and bank depositors outraged at banking restrictions that effectively confiscated their savings.
Catedral Metropolitana
On the site of the original colonial church designated by Juan de Garay in 1580, the cathedral opened in 1836; Joseph Dubourdieu's 1862 pediment bas-reliefs compare the biblical reconciliation of Joseph and his brothers with the battle of Pavón, where Bartolomé Mitre's Buenos Aires forces defeated caudillo Justo José Urquiza.
Within the cathedral, a lateral chapel holds the Mausoleo del General José de San Martín, the independence hero's tomb. Disillusioned with post-independence turmoil, San Martín lived in exile in France until his death in 1850; his remains were returned to Argentina in 1880, after President Nicolás Avellaneda ordered construction of this elaborate crypt, marked by an eternal flame.
The Catedral Metropolitana (Avenida Rivadavia and San Martín, tel. 011/4331- 2845) is open 8 a.m.–7 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m.– 7:30 p.m. weekends.
Museo del Cabildo
The Plaza's only remaining colonial structure, the Cabildo was a combination town council and prison, and the site where criollo patriots deposed Spanish viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros in 1810. The present structure preserves part of the recova (arcade) that once ran the plaza's width.
The museum is thin on content—a few maps, paintings, and photographs of the plaza and its surroundings as well as a portrait gallery from the British invasions (1806–1807) and the Revolution of May 1810. Only part of the building survived 19th-century mayor Torcuato de Alvear's wrecking ball (which made the Avenida de Mayo possible).
The Museo del Cabildo (Bolívar 65, tel. 011/4343-4387, US$0.30) is open 10:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Wednesday–Friday, 11:30–6 p.m. weekends. Guided tours (US$0.80) take place at 3 p.m. Friday and Sunday; a free tour takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Casa Rosada (Casa de Gobierno Nacional)
For better or worse, the presidential palace has been the site of contentious spectacle, the place where Perón and Evita summoned the cheering masses who later jeered the ruthless dictatorship after the 1982 Falklands War. In late 2001 it witnessed the shooting of demonstrators by federal police under the inept De la Rúa administration. The building owes its pinkish hue to President Domingo F. Sarmiento, who proposed blending Federalist red and Unitarist white to symbolize reconciliation between the two violently opposed factions of 19th-century politics.
The Casa Rosada was not originally a single building; in 1884 Italian architect Francesco Tamburini merged the original government house with the former post office to create the present asymmetrical structure. On the east side, facing Parque Colón, pedestrians can view the excavated ruins of the colonial Fuerte Viejo (fortress) and early customs headquarters (buried beneath landfill in the 1890s).
Entered from the south side, the basement's Museo de la Casa de Gobierno contains memorabilia from Argentine presidents, but unfortunately its charter prohibits material more recent than 30 years ago (and does not even require it to be that timely). Visitors can, however, stroll among the colonial catacombs visible from outside.
The Museo de la Casa de Gobierno (Hipólito Yrigoyen 219, tel. 011/4344-3804, free) is normally open 10 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays, 2–6 p.m. Sunday, but as of press time it was undergoing a major reorganization. Free guided Casa Rosada tours take place 10 a.m.–6 p.m. weekends and holidays, at the main entrance (Balcarce 50) facing Plaza de Mayo.
Manzana de las Luces
Since the mid-17th century, when the Jesuits established themselves on the block bounded by the present-day streets of Bolívar, Moreno, Perú, and Alsina, Monserrat has been a hub of intellectual life. The Jesuits were the most intellectual of monastic orders, but they were also the most commercial—the two surviving buildings of the Procuraduría, fronting on Alsina, stored products from their widespread missions, housed missionized Indians from the provinces, and contained defensive tunnels.
After the Jesuits' expulsion from the Americas in 1767, the buildings served as the Protomedicato, which regulated medical practice in the city; but the block later housed, in succession, a public library, a medical school, and various university departments. After 1974 the Comisión Nacional de la Manzana de las Luces attempted to salvage them for cultural purposes, opening the tunnels to the public and restoring part of the "Universidad" lettering along the Perú facade.
The Iglesia San Ignacio (1722) replaced an earlier structure of the same name. In 1836 the Jesuits returned, at Rosas's invitation; in 1955, at Juan Perón's instigation, mobs trashed the building, but it has since been restored. The church shares a wall with the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires (1908), the country's most prestigious and competitive secondary school, taught by top university faculty. The re-created Sala de Representantes housed the province's first legislature.
The Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas de la Manzana de las Luces Doctor Jorge E. Garrido (Perú 272, tel. 011/4342-3964) conducts a series of guided tours (1 and 3 p.m. Mon.; 3 p.m. Tues.–Fri.; 3, 4:30, and 6 p.m. Sat.–Sun.) for US$1.50 pp. English-language tours (US$3 pp) require 15 days' notice and a minimum of 20 people.
Museo Etnográfico Juan B. Ambrosetti
Affiliated with the Universidad de Buenos Aires, the Ambrosetti museum has first-rate archaeological, ethnographic, and ethnohistorical material on the Andean Northwest (bordering the great civilizations of highland Perú), the northern Patagonian Mapuche, and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Well organized with good narration in Spanish only, it does a lot with what it has—and what it has is pretty good.
The Museo Etnográfico (Moreno 350, tel. 011/4345-8196, US$0.30, free for retirees) is open 1–7 p.m. Tuesday–Friday and 3–7 p.m. weekends, except in January, when it's closed. There are guided tours at 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Museo de la Ciudad
Above the remarkable Farmacia La Estrella, the city museum specializes in elements of everyday urban life, including architecture, floor tiles, furniture, and postcards; the pharmacy's exterior windows have been turned into display cases.
Except in February, when it's closed, the Museo de la Ciudad (Defensa 219, tel. 011/4343-2123 or 011/4331-9855, US$0.80, free Wed.) is open 11 a.m.–7 p.m. daily.
Café Tortoni
One of BA's most quietly traditional places, >Café Tortoni (Avenida de Mayo 825, tel. 011/4342-4328) has made no concessions to the 21st century and only a few to the 20th: Upholstered chairs and marble tables stand among sturdy columns beneath a ceiling punctuated by stained-glass vitraux, the wallpaper looks original between the stained wooden trim, and walls are decorated with pictures, portraits, and filete, the traditional porteño sign-painter's calligraphy.
Acknowledged on the walls, past patrons include singer Carlos Gardel, La Boca painter Benito Quinquela Martín, dramatists Luigi Pirandello and Federico García Lorca, and pianist Arthur Rubinstein; more recently, it has hosted Spain's King Juan Carlos I and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The original entrance faced Rivadavia, on the north side, but Torcuato de Alvear's creation of Avenida de Mayo forced it to reorient itself.
Iglesia y Convento de Santo Domingo
Since late colonial times, the mid-18thcentury Dominican church (also known as Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario) at Avenida Belgrano and Defensa has witnessed some of Argentine history's most dramatic events. It still displays banners captured by Viceroy Santiago Liniers from the Highlanders Regiment No. 71 during the 1806 British invasion, and the exterior shows combat damage from the British occupation of 1807. Near the church entrance, an eternal flame burns near sculptor Héctor Ximenes's Mausoleo de Belgrano (1903), the crypt of Argentina's second- greatest hero; Belgrano was an indifferent soldier, but he did design the Argentine flag.
Following independence, President Bernardino Rivadavia secularized the church, making it a natural history museum and turning one of its towers into an astronomical observatory. In 1955, during the coup against Juan Perón, anticlerical Peronists set it afire.

Celebrate the spirit of love with the Victorian Romance cartridge! This delightful cartridge is filled with intricate images that are perfect for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and other special occasions. You will also love the boxes, cones, and cupcake wrappers included on the cartridge. Use the latest Cricut® cartridges to create uniq.....
Click here to read product details
This cartridge it fantastic! It will be great for all sorts of projects from Valentines to weddings, anniversaries, etc!
Wish there were more images, but it's worth the price!
There are some really beautiful images on this cartridge. It comes in a nice hard plastic box to store it in. However I am disapointed about a few things. 1) The inside of the cd box is an ad for other cds. Why not put the images on that instead? There is no images cheat sheet. I expected there to be no booklet. But in the past with a solutions cd there is at least a page with the images. You can only see the images on the key board overlay. My vision isn't that great, but my vision isn't as bad as others. I had to ask my family what some of the images were. 2)The dancing/kissing couple are not wearing Victorian garb but rather colonial. They are off by 100 years. 3) For the price there wasn't alot of images. (up to 50 images includes the shadow/layers. 4) Some of the images for ref. the cones is recomended to be cut at 7 inches or larger and 8.7 or larger for the valentine box. I have an imagine it won't cut that big. The description of the cartridge is that it will work with all machines. It's a little misleading.
Provocraft needs to start puttingback in the cheat sheets for these. Do they not realize it is not just the 20 something that are purchasing their products. It is hard to follow and poor not to include some instruction
I love the cart, but when you put 50 images on the front of the cart as advertisement- I was actually counting on 50 "layered" images. Not 50 images including the layers. So really- there is only 20 images with layers and 10 regular images (no layering) meaning that there is only 30 real images when put together. Very clever on PC part, it got me.
Beautiful images, just wish there was more layered images.
There are no instructions or cheat sheets to help you cut these intricate designs. For beginners who have never done layers it is a nightmare.
No instruction booklet came with this cartridge! Wish I had known that - can not seem to find is on Cricut.com either.
I realize the instructions are not as clear as they could be, that is why I have to take half a star off, but the final product that this cartridge created was gorgeous. I could also go smaller than the recommended size.
This is one of my favorites. I used it to make the most gorgeous Valentines for my friends. They all called me to tell me how much they love their valentines, and they have hung them on their walls. The key pad cover IS the booklet. What you see on the key pad is what you cut. It couldn't be easier!!! Get this cartridge. The possibilities are endless.
Well Provocraft you've done it again. You decided not to include a cheat sheet with their product. Can't even find it on your website. Instead of the fancy packaging why don't you go back to including instructions. We spend a lot of money purchasing these carts and you can't take the time to include instructions. Had I known I wouldn't even be able to go your site or anywhere to get the instructions I never would have purchased.
Costume design was the wrong period in history, seems as if there should be a little more bang for the buck.
I used this cartridge to make party favors for my wedding and it was easy. I Made the cones and filled them with mints wrapped with tulle. They came out very nice. I also used the man and women silhouette on glass candle holders.
This was a cartridge I kept eyeing ever since I got my cricut expression 2 3 months ago! It was finally marked down and honestly should never have been 39.99 or 49.99 (in the stores). It should be down to 17.99. No cheat book! I depend on that! I use those books constantly and as one person said we are not all 20 something's with 20/20 vision. Can't hardly see the designs. What's there I like alot but there definitely needs more to it.Q

A Leopard's Meal
Detective Turtleholmes
Tonight, clouds were absent from the brilliant African sky. Flying insects buzzed around, irritating the tails of sleeping leopards. Beasts of prey, they lounged languorously, still warm from the afternoon sun, recently set. One of them woke for a brief moment to see a jeep thunder past in the distance. Unconcerned, it lowered its head and went back to sleep.
The two women in the jeep didn't see the leopards in the distance, but they knew they were there. Their tracking system told them so, and it was rarely wrong. Their hair was whipped around by the wind, and when they turned to talk it blinded them and stung their faces. They drove onward, over a well-beaten dirt road until they came to a small farmhouse. The dust inside stirred with their entrance. The shorter of the two moved over to the cupboard and drew out two bottles.
"You know, Caplin, I don't think this will work." The other said.
Caplin pulled over some glasses. "Of course it will. Ol' Bando said it would." One of the bottles was lifted and an amber liquid poured out, splashing into a glass and mixing with some clear liquid that was being poured by the other hand.
"Yeah, but Old Bando also says you can stop a shark from eating you by punching it in the nose."
"I don't see a problem with that." Caplin replied.
"We're in Central Africa, and Old Bando gets about by taking the bus into the city, and he doesn't know anyone outside of the village."
"Just shows he knows his stuff." She flicked a lighter out of her pocket and set the mixture alight, causing a small explosion, followed by Caplin quickly drinking it. She burped loudly. It is a well known fact that drinking alcohol that has been set on fire is a definite way to get one drunk incredibly quickly. The only downside is that a person gets drunk incredibly quickly.
"Wellllll. I don't th-think I'm quite drunk yet. You wa-want one, Lynn?"
Caplin clumsily made another explosive drink, setting fire to a few passing mosquitoes. She offered it to Lynn, who quickly drank it and flopped into a rickety chair.
"This doesn't taste too bad!" she exclaimed.
Caplin picked up an envelope from the table. It was addressed to the Wantago Leopard Preserve. She ripped open the letter and quickly scanned it. The words 'OVERDUE' written in large red letters across the top.
"Oh. An-another bill."
Lynn made another explosive drink and grabbed the bill.
"What're we gonna do 'bout this, Cap? I had an aunty once who didn't pay a bill an-and they set fire to her house!"
Caplin crinkled her nose. "I don't think they're 'lowed to do that. Prob'ly fer the insurance or something."
"No no no. A guy came over to the house, an' he was wearin' a suit, right? Then the house caught fire!" Lynn exploded another drink for the both of them.
"Golly. I like it here! I don-don't wanna get burnt." Cap said despondently.
"Then... we need some money, Cap." Lynn put the bill back on the table.
Another round of drinks was exploded before they spoke again.
"We-we're jusht zoologists, we don't haf any money!" Caplin rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hands.
"If we don't fig're out a way to shavesh shome money we could lose our grant an' get shent back to Australia, Cap." Lynn exploded another drink and disconsolately read through the bill again.
They sat in silence for a moment, trying desperately to think of ways to save money. Unfortunately, the exploding drinks had rather reduced their ability to think properly.
Lynn's eyes went wide. "What if... what if we got a bunch of pigsh, right, and put 'em near the leopards?"
"Nah, that won't work. Pigsh cosht muh-money and beshidesh, there aren't many pigsh around here." Caplin replied.
"Then... what about dead people? Lynn asked.
Caplin thought for a brief moment. Her brow furrowed. "No, that won't work either. Leopardsh won't eat dead meat. Hash to be alive an' runnin'."
Lynn quietened down again. Then she mixed another exploding drink, and a group of neurons fired in her brain. "Voodoo!" She exclaimed, leaping to her feet. Cap's eyes went wide.
"Yeah! Voodoo! We'll bring people back to life and feed them to the leopardsh! Brilliant!"
Cap leapt over to the computer in the corner of the room and turned it on. Lynn began pacing around the room excitedly. "We'll get shome dead bodies from Ken! You know he worksh i-in a cafeter- cremateramum- crematorium now, right? And he'sh only jusht down the road!"
"Hey! I found a DIY guide on voodoo!" Cap exclaimed, the blue glow of the computer screen illuminating the fire in her eyes as she read through the article, looking for a spell to bring back the dead.
* * *
A dead African body lay slumped on the floor of the farmhouse. It didn't have any clothes on. Caplin and Lynn stood over it.
"Well." Lynn said, folding her arms.
"Yep." Caplin replied.
They stood watching the corpse for a few more minutes, until Caplin picked up the half-empty bottles and made two more explosive drinks.
"Thanks," Lynn said, quickly drinking the mixture, fire and all.
"Sho. That'sh a dead body, ish it?"
"I'm pretty shure it ish."
"No chance of it coming back on it'sh own, then?" Caplin asked, stepping back.
Lynn assured her that she was pretty sure that it wouldn't come back to life of its own volition, unless as a zombie. And she was pretty sure that those weren't around yet. Surely she would be the first to know.
"Sho. Let'sh drag the body into the circle, then."Caplin said. They both grabbed hold of an arm and pulled the body into the middle of the circle that was drawn as per instructions, even with real chicken blood. Caplin put her hands on her hips.
"Are you shure thish voodoo thing'll work?" Caplin asked.
"Shure it will. It'sh got chicken blood an' everyfin!" Lynn replied.
While the principles of voodoo are often strange and mysterious, the main similarity which often assures success is chicken blood. Why this is so is an enormous mystery in informed circles, and the chickens sure aren't telling anybody. Caplin and Lynn looked at the printout.
"I'm havin' shecond thoughtsh." Lynn said.
* * *
There was a red glow, followed by a flash of light that felt like what would happen if a bear tried to hug, say, an incoming truck. As the glow receded, the pain went away, leaving the two women lying on the floor, splayed at uncomfortable angles. The body in the circle didn't move. Caplin was the first to recover, and sat up. Deciding this was not a good idea at all, she fell back down. Twenty minutes later, when she thought she could will up the courage to get up, she struggled over to the table, made an exploding drink and downed it to drown out the pain. As soon as she could move her eyes without causing what seemed like serious facial trauma, she looked at Lynn, who was moaning softly to herself, still lying on the floor. Caplin made another small explosion and carried it over to Lynn, who drank it gratefully. Then she made four more, and when she decided it was helping, she made four for Lynn.
Eventually, they became as sprightly as they had been before they had everything inside them knocked into different places. Only then did they notice that there wasn't a dead little African man lying on the floor.
"Where'sh he gone, Cap?" Lynn asked, looking around the room quickly. Caplin no longer cared. The leopards could all go off and eat a circus for all she cared.
"Dunno. Don't care." She replied, and got up to go to the toilet.
Lynn heard a scream, followed by Caplin running out of the toilet.
"He'sh in the loo." She said, zipping up the front of her pants.
"What'sh he doing in there?" Lynn asked.
"What d-do you think he'sh doin' in there?" Cap retorted.
Lynn nodded, understanding. "Let'sh jusht leave him to it, then."
Five minutes later, when the reanimated man had not come out of the toilet, Lynn went over to see how he was going. He had fallen over and lay slumped on his face.
"He'sh dead again, Cap."
Caplin tentatively peered through the doorway, and saw his chest heaving slightly with each breath. "No he'sh not. He'sh breathin', see?"
"Oh. Why'sh he all shlumped over then?" Lynn asked.
"Well, he wash dead earlier to-today. That short of thing takesh a while to get over, you'd think."
They both watched as he rolled over and discharged a loud burp. Then he beamed widely and scratched his stomach.
"Or maybe he'sh jusht an idiot," she concluded.
Something itched at the back of Lynn's mind. "Oh! Oh!" She exclaimed. "He'sh got brain damage!"
Caplin looked at Lynn. "Pleash exshplain," she replied, pouring another explosive drink for the both of them. By this time, one would think that the copious amount of alcohol that they had both consumed, coupled with the recent body trauma and having encountered the living dead would have put them both in a very unconscious state. But the both of them were university students, and the only thing that could deal with more alcohol than them were usually thirty metres long, weighed over a hundred tonnes and sucked krill through enormous teeth. They were good at this kind of thing.
"Shee, when people die, their brainsh die too!" Lynn said excitedly. 'An', an', the neuronsh don't fire propl'y in coma pashintsh an' shuch!"
"Sho. We've got a ushelesh zombie that can't even run away from leopardsh, sho we can't shave money there. Great idea, Lynn." Caplin said sarcastically.
Lynn had another idea. "Maybe they will! He wuh-went to the toilet, didnee?"
"Lynn, that'sh dishgushting. I don't shee how that appliesh." Caplin replied, stretching.
Lynn leapt to her feet. "Inshtinct! He needed to go to the loo, sho he went! He di-" Lynn hiccupped. "He didn't know what to do nexsht, sho he shtopped!"
"Sho yo-you're shaying, if we jusht stick 'im near the leopardsh, he'll run away?"
"Yep!" Lynn beamed.
Caplin got up from her seat and put on a jacket. "Then let'sh get him in the jeep."
He didn't resist when the two zoologists put him in the back of the dusty jeep, amongst piles of research notes and forgotten or empty specimen jars. He just smiled sluggishly. It never occurred to him that he was part of one big ill-constructed metaphor, especially when the two women threw him off the side of the jeep and left him naked near a pack of hungry leopards. He didn't know that the women had stopped nearby and were seeing if he would get eaten. He didn't know that if it worked, he would be helping to solve the money troubles of a pair of zoologists, if they remembered anything by the next morning. He couldn't. He wasn't smart enough. The only thing he did know was that those leopards had awfully pointy teeth, and staying near them was a sure way to get perforated. Soon enough, he learnt something. The only thing he would, in fact, ever learn. He learned that no matter how fast he ran, leopards were a great deal faster.

Developer Gilbert J. Jones is refusing to accept a $60,000 loan for improvements to his cinema from the Ogdensburg Growth Fund Development Corp.
I asked for $100,000, he said Friday. Im sticking with that.
On Wednesday, the Growth Fund agreed to lend Mr. Jones $60,000 for five years at no interest for two years and 2 percent annually for three years after that. He wants the money to buy digital projection equipment for his Ogdensburg Cinema I and II theaters at 119 Ford St., which he closed last summer.
But Mr. Joness refusal to a accept the loan is rooted in more than not getting what he asked for.
He questions the legality of Mayor William D. Nelsons status as the Growth Funds chairman, the agencys bylaws and its independence from City Hall.
I have high regards and respect for the board members, Mr. Jones said, not counting the mayor. It is fact (that) city employees micromanage the Growth Fund.
Mr. Jones said he would have his attorney review the Growth Funds bylaw as well as its April 1983 articles of incorporation.
Go ahead, the mayor said Friday.
Thats fine, Mr. Nelson said. We have bylaws. The Growth Fund is a separate economic development agency. It is not part of City Hall.
Mr. Jones initially asked the Growth Fund for $100,000 loan, but was approved for $60,000.
Mr. Jones subsequently changed the request to that he might accept an offer of $60,000 at 0 percent interest over four years.
The Growth Fund said its offer was calculated to reflect its formula of $15,000 for every 35-hour-a-week, full-time equivalency job created. Mr. Jones originally figured for 12 full- and part-time jobs over a three-year period, including a manager, film booker, projectionists, concession workers and a custodial worker. He later changed the number to seven full-time employees.
Mr. Jones bought the 9,000-square-foot, double-screen, 448-seat cinema in 1980 and has since spent $85,000 on a new roof and $52,621 on an upgraded ventilation system. He also installed a $73,000 marquee that currently displays paid advertising.
