Arrests at attempt to block deportations in Dublin
ireland / britain | migration / racism | news report Thursday October 20, 2005 22:31 by Joe - WSM (personal cap)
Two people were arrested in Dublin on Tuesday as Residents against Racism activists attempted to block the deportation of 39 people (including fourteen children, 5 of whom were born in Ireland) to Lagos. Nigeria. This account is from Emma a WSM member and RAR activist who was arrested.
I was also at gnib ( Garda National Immigration Bureau) from two o clock yesterday and it has to be one of the worse deportations I have witnessed so far if that is at all possible.
I managed to get inside the gnib where people have to report for deportation and from early people were called to hatch 13 and then taken upstairs not knowing what was going to happen to them, a few garda immigration cops saw over what was happening inside and were pretty rude to people wanting to know if they were going to be deported today- in response to questions asylum seekers were told they were just going up stairs for a chat and that would be it and not to worry, while I was in there I saw an elderly lady being taken upstairs and later saw a heavly pregnant woman looking distressed and I approached her to see what was wrong, she was looking for her mother who had been taking upstairs and when we were talking to the guard he told us she would be down in a few minutes about half an hour later she was being drove to Dublin airport and her daughter was frantic looking for a lawyer to try get an injunction since then I ave been talking to her daughter and her mother was on that flight to Nigeria. . I stayed inside until from what I could see no Nigerians were left and then went around the back of the gnib to were others were waiting to block the vans as they were going out to Dublin airport.
A scuffle broke out and people were pushed and Rosanna knocked to her feet, the cops seemed to take great pleasure in hurting people, a few protestors from what I can make out were hurt yesterday.
A while later I was arrested and charged at Pearse street garda station and I am due in court next week and dont want to say with what right now as I have been advised not to, while I was waiting to be booked in another person was arrested and charged also.
after three hours both of us were released and headed back around to the gnib were people were still outside, I was told Abolode was in the gnib and managed to get back in and I asked if she was there and if I could see her, the civil servant seemed quite pleasant enough and took Abolode details off me and went to see if she was there when she came back which was a few minutes later she said there was no record of Abolode there which was impossible I had been talking to her a few minutes earlier, so I went around the back and it turned out she had been taking out while the civil servant was checking to see if she was still there.
This has to stop, we have to organise a way of trying to stop these deportations, in my opinion there are not enough anti racism activists and very few are actually active, yesterdays turnout of people was promising though unlike last July's deportation were not many people were there at all and nobody could block the back or show a presence, hopefully people will realise the realities of what is happening to people.
p.s. d hope your back is ok

Immigration and Racism in Ireland 20:39 Tue 10 Oct 0 comments
In the last fifteen to twenty years, two new phenomena have finally reached Ireland Immigration and alongside it - Racism.

The Dublin City North Branch of the INTO has passed a motion endorsing the call by outgoing union president, Austin Corcoran, that all schools become safe places for all children -to be given the status of embassies. It is hoped that more branches within the union will take up this issue and that by next year's annual congress a campaign will be launched in the union to make this a reality
Deported to be Mutilated? 00:57 Sun 03 Jul 0 comments
The Irish government is currently trying to deport women and children under the threat of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which frequently results in death. Asylum in Ireland can be sought on grounds of religious or political persecution. However the government refuse to acknowlege FGM as a political act and therefore women and children cannot apply for asylum on the basis they have suffered or will suffer FGM if deported.

A critical view of the Refugees are Welcome Rally in Dublin Sep 16 0 comments
The Refugees Welcome rally saw a good crowd assembled at the Spire in Dublin. The rally was a response where people wanted to express their solidarity with the refugees who are attempting to escape war and death.
March in support of refugees in Dublin Sep 15 0 comments
Thanks to the work of a few volunteers we had some banners to bring to the Refugees are Welcome rally and march at the Spire on Saturday the 12th of September. I was on my bike into the Barricade Inn to pick up the banners. The banners were important to link up certain struggles. One linked the appalling reaction to the social housing crisis by this government with their slow reaction to the humanitarian crisis on the edges of fortress Europe, which simply stated Homes for All, Refuge for All, and another which read No Borders No Nations. There was a good crowd assembled there when we arrived at the Spire and it grew steadily as Memet Uludag spoke frequently, often, and introduced each of the speakers. The rally was a response where people wanted to express their solidarity with the refugees who are attempting to escape war and death.
Céad Míle Fáilte*? Racial Profiling in the Ireland Oct 24 1 comments
Over the last couple of days we have witnessed massive media hysteria about the case of Maria, a young girl supposedly abducted by a Roma couple in Greece. DNA tests and Lombroso-style racial profiling have come into action in a case that has stirred the irrational anxiety that feeds racism and bigotry. Beyond the fact that child abduction is a serious issue, the "whiteness" and "blondeness" of the alleged victim have been emphasised together with the "Roma" condition of the alleged culprits. Let us remember that this is taking place in Greece, a country where blatant racism (as expressed by Golden Dawn) is on the rise, so there are good reasons to be cautious about this whole case.
Irish Travellers - Apartheid, Irish Style Oct 23 0 comments
In Ireland institutional racism has evolved to come fitted as standard. At the same time the State dithers about making the decision on whether or not to grant Travellers ethnic status. As the Stephen Lawrence family lawyer, Imran Khan stated when you write laws of the land specifically for a people it is a sure sign that you recognise them as a specific group when you bring in laws that pertain only to them. So, in Ireland, are Travellers specifically targeted in the Anti-Trespass Act brought in 2002 and Section 24 of the Criminal Justice Act (1994).
Support the Dale Farm families - Put a marker down to stop the racist onslaught against Travellers Oct 11 0 comments
Dale Farm is a halting site which is also the largest concentration of Irish Travellers in Britain, being home to over 1000 people (about 100 families), many of whom are said to have their cultural roots in Rathkeale in Limerick. It was started in the 1960s when a number of families bought the former scrapyard site and Basildon council granted planning permission for 40 houses. This happened in the context of broad progress in race relations and a brief breeze of relative official tolerance for Travellers, epitomised in the liberal-sponsored 1968 Caravan Sites Act. Basildon Council have put aside an £18 million budget to bulldoze the site and forcefully evict the families (a staggering figure when you consider that in 2010 the total UK budget for providing Travellers with halting facilities was less than 30 million).

Michael Jackson vs. Usher — The Boombox Battle
In this week's The Boombox Battle, songs from Michael Jackson and Usher compete for the win.
In this week's The Boombox Battle, songs from Michael Jackson and Usher compete for the win.
R&B star Usher has finally broke his silence and is defending Justin Bieber in the wake of two racist videos that leaked online this month.
Usher graces the cover of the July 2014 issue of Nylon Guys magazine. In the mag, the R&B star addresses Justin Bieber's long list of troubles within the past year.
Music superstars Pharrell Williams, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Drake and Lil Wayne are set to perform at the 2014 BET Awards later this month.
Usher performs a sexy rendition of his latest single, 'Good Kisser,' on 'The Voice.'
Usher is bringing sexy back in his new video for 'Good Kisser.' This is the R&B crooner's first offering from his upcoming eighth studio album.
In the two years since Usher last released album -- 2012's 'Looking 4 Myself' -- R&B has birthed a whole new class of emerging stars, like Mack Wilds, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Sampha. Usher Raymond IV proves there's still country for old men, though, as he debuts his new single, 'Good Kisser.'
Chart-topping superstars Usher, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande and others rocked the stage at the 2014 iHeart Music Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday (May 1).
Usher wants to let the world knows he can pucker up with his new song 'Good Kisser.' Before the full effort arrives, the singer is giving fans a preview of the track in a new video, which shows him gliding and spinning in front of huge glowing purple lips.
For every decade, there's an album released by a marquee R&B artist that speaks for the generation. In the 1980's it was Michael Jackson's 'Thriller.' In the '90s, it was MJ's little sister Janet Jackson's overt album, 'Janet.' For the new millennial generation of today, it's clearly Beyonce's self-titled album. But in between Queen Bey and Ms. Jackson, there's an album by one of the greatest musical talents in R&B that's ever surfaced the Earth: 'Confessions' by Usher.

This is the Caribbean with an English twist. Tea time on Barbados is a serious daily event, but you don't have to enjoy a "cuppa" to take to the sea. You will, however, need to know how to pronounce the name of the island's signature dive, the wreck of an ex-Greek freighter, 110 metre/365 footStavronikita, although most divers simple call it the Stav. There's also the 50 metre/165-foot long Pamir and wrecks of the Berwyn, C-Trek, Fox and Eilon in Carlise Bay. The wrecks host everything from sea turtles to seahorses. Above the water, Barbados is well manicured and exudes a civilized, structured and laid back air. Cricket is wildly popular, as are sports in general and you'll find plenty of opportunities to kayak, hike, surf and fish. Nightlife is equally diverse, with live calypso and clubs, restaurants with a sophistical appeal and even dinner shows. And, don't forget to sample some of the local and famous rums, such as Mount Gay.
April through June generally has calm weather, while winter fronts are frequent in January through March. Summer months provide good diving conditions, although June through October is also hurricane season in the Caribbean, with the highest risk around September.
June to November
Pack a 3/2 mm wetsuit, sunscreen, insect repellant and light tropical clothing. However, some restaurants and bars don't allow shorts, so bring a nicer outfit or two. DAN card.
Seasonal averages: 25°C/78°F in winter and 28°C/84°F in summer
Seasonal averages: 23-29°C/75-85°F year-round.
Barbados Dollar. US dollar is widely accepted.
Visa/Passport Requirements:
All visitors should have a valid passport and a valid return ticket.
A departure tax of $27.50 USD is included in the cost of your ticket.
None needed for travel to Barbados.
There are lots of choices for cuisine on Barbados, but you can't miss local Bajan fare such as flying fish and cou cou, which is a polenta like side dish made typically from cornmeal or breadfruit. Fish cakes are popular, roast pork or black and white pudding and souse, conkies, macaroni pie and for dessert coconut bread.
With Mount Gay as the local rum, most cocktails revolve around rum, although Banks, the local beer, is also quite popular. For thirst quenching, try mauby – a non-alcoholic beverage that comes from the bark of a local tree that has been sweetened, boiled and strained.
Top Adventures/Shopping/Culture:
Hike the old Bridgetown train tracks, hook up with the National Trust for some off the beaten path choices, and don't miss the Mount Gay Rum Distillery for some free samples.
Barbados culture takes its cure from British culture and is quite sophisticated and well-mannered. People dress up to go out (or at least tuck their shirt in) and enjoy afternoon tea, cricket and pulling pints during an afternoon at the local pub.
Cropover is the most popular festival, traditionally to celebrate the sugar cane harvest, but celebrations stretch from May to August.
Electricity and Internet:
Electricity is 110 volts/50 cycles. Internet is widely available.
Water is safe to drink straight from the tap.
English is the national language, but a Bajan dialect is used by the natives.
These large, lazy-moving fish with their characteristically downturned mouths come in many colors, and add interest to many reef dives. Also a much-enjoyed meal, any web search of this fish is as likely to turn up as many recipes as reef photos.
Torpedo-shaped and metallic, this small squid can change color in an instant, and may be difficult to spot.
A big fish with a little mouth, this teardrop-shaped fish can grow up to 60 centimetres/two feet in length, but he's a nibbler.
True to its name, the tube sponge spouts clusters of tubes in vivid colors.
These predatory pelagic fish are often seen on the reefs. They can swim at incredible speeds and can grow up to 2 metres/six feet in length, but even a small one can earn a diver's respect with a flash of its jaw full of razor-sharp teeth.
A smaller relative of the manta (and the shark), these rays often hang out on sandy bottoms, but can also be seen swimming around the reefs. Keep your distance from its venomous barbed tail.
Most often found in holes, caves, and wrecks, moray eels sometimes venture out so divers can see their entire snakelike length.
These brilliantly colored fish do, indeed, possess remarkably parrotlike beaks that they use to grind coral structures so they can eat the soft coral animals inside.
Take a close look under ledges and around reef structures for nurse sharks, which tend to loaf around the reefs.
SS Stavronikita:
This sunken freighter, now part of the Folkestone Underwater Park, hosts huge tube sponges and rope sponges in yellows, pinks, and purples, and teems with barracuda, morays, and smaller reef fish.
Carlisle Bay Marine Park:
Boasting six coral-crusted wrecks in a relatively small area, this park boasts a wide variety of marine life, including frog fish, seahorses, rays, barracudas, octopus, reef squid, mackerel, and moray eels. Divers will also encounter cannons, anchors, and other remnants of shipping history.
Friar's Craig & Asta Reef:
Another artificial reef on a wreck, this dive includes a drop-off to 24 metres/80 feet, allowing for a drift dive along the wall. Look for corals and sea fans, angel fish, stingrays, and barracuda.
Drift dive along a wall which plunges to 40 metres/130 feet. Watch for pelagic fish as well as small crustaceans and invertebrates among the coral formations of the wall.
This shallow barrier reef is still a hunting ground for antique bottles and cannon balls, with small colorful reef fish flitting among the corals.
This site near Drift Hall is renowned for macro photography, and also noted for large numbers of barracuda.
Turtles and eagle rays, as well as smaller swimmers, tend to congregate near this drift dive just off Sandy Beach.
This shallow reef off Rockley Beach is best known for its large schools of Bermuda Chubs.
Formerly an anchorage for wooden sailing vessels, the bottom is littered with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century glass bottles, which divers can keep.
A very popular site for its beautiful corals, barracuda, bar jacks, yellowtails and turtles. The reef itself stretches eight kilometres/five miles, from Bridgetown to Holetown, offering opportunities for a multi-dive day at a single site.
A great location for macro photography, abundant with soft corals, barrel sponges, tube sponges, and a large variety of schooling tropical fish, barracudas, turtles, and parrot fish.

swelling for no apparent reason what so ever. One minute it's fine the next an intense itching starts and then there's a large hive that forms deep in the muscle of the foot....which makes it hard to walk on.....then it subsides. Like the rest of you....I didn't know what caused it. Then it happened again tonight (after years of it NOT happening) I took a look at something I ate that had Barley Malt Flour in it and looked that up under allergies. You will be surprised when you see the allergic reactions to this malted flour. I found out that malting is not natural. Take a look at this site. (by the way...what I ate was Melba toast) I had basically given up wheat products but once in a while I'll eat a small bit of a wheat product......usually I'll have some kind of reaction....but the foot pad swelling was a wake up call to look at the ingredients.
Here's the site:
Hope that helps.......it may not be pressure after all it may be an allergy to some substance we keep abusing ourselves with.
Hugs to all.
Don't forget about yeast allergies also !View Thread
The good news is that your skin can become thick & restored again. the 2 main supplements you want to take are:
horsetail extract - 3 pills a day (spaced thru the day)
and collagen pills (2-3 pills spaced apart)
the horsetail extract will make your skin, hair, nails, etc. thicker (it really does work). But it takes time - typically atleast 9-12 months (you must be off of oral presnisone).
the collagen will make your skin soft, but more importantly, will feed your skin what it needs to rebuild.
Both are crucial - but the horsetail extract pills give your skin the thickness.
swanson vitamins sells the horsetail extract pill for cheap (like $3-4 bucks a bottle for 90 pills). The collagen pills I get at costco (you get a huge bottle, 390 pills) for $20 bucks. lasts a while.
Again - this is something that takes time - it's not an overnight fix. you'll start to see results in a couple months. but it typically takes 9-12 months for everything to be back to normal.
it really does work - just be patient.View Thread

Knowledge Ecosystems: - Confronting Hyper-turbulent Environments
David Bray
Emory University - Department of Decision & Information Analysis - USA
Hyper-turbulent environments examples include 9/11, the anthrax events of 2001,
and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Organizations such as those involved with intelligence gathering and public
health emergency response, including the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, must confront such seemingly chaotic environments.
Organizations like the CIA and CDC may represent the future of business. They
are comprised of globally distributed individuals who must exchange
time-sensitive knowledge to deal with these hyper-turbulent environments and to
increase organizational adaptedness, and thus survivability.
Knowledge may rapidly lose its relevance due to these hyper-turbulent
environments involving rapid changes in human systems. Compared to ordinary
turbulent environments, hyper-turbulent environments require greater
inter-individual knowledge exchanges to permit adaptation.
David A. Bray received a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to study as a Visiting
Fellow at Oxford University's Internet Institute in 2007, researching
inter-organizational management of government services through information
systems, focused specifically on national security and public health.
Prior to academia, David served for 5 years as IT Chief for the Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). He led the technology aspects of the program during the
response to 9/11, anthrax in 2001, West Nile Virus, SARS and monkeypox in 2003,
influenza, and other major outbreaks. He received the CDC Director's Award for
Information Services in 2004 and subsequently was promoted to Associate
Director of Informatics. Prior to CDC, David worked as a senior developer and
project manager for Microsoft, Yahoo!, the Institute for Defense Analyses, and
the National Institutes of Health.

Thunder-Memphis is a series so riveting, so wild, so dramatic, that even when it was over, it wasn't over.
Speaking of over, the Thunder season sits on the edge of Grizzly Mountain. The Thunder lost to Memphis 100-99 in overtime Tuesday night – yes, an NBA record fourth straight overtime in this series – and now must win Thursday night in Tennessee and Saturday back in Oklahoma, else over the cliff go the Thunder, and this season falls into the pit of massive disappointment.

Teen driver who hit, killed Forest Grove girls gets probation
HILLSBORO, Ore. – The teenager who failed to render aid after running over and killing two Forest Grove girls last fall was sentenced Friday to three years probation.
Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, 19, was found guilty on Jan. 15 after running over and killing two Forest Grove girls, 6-year-old Anna Deiter-Eckerdt and her 11-year-old sister Abigail Robinson, last October. The two girls were playing in a pile of leaves when they were hit by the car Garcia-Cisneros was driving.
Family members of the victims requested no jail time for Garcia-Cisneros. The judge granted their request.
In Friday's court hearing, Garcia-Cisneros turned to the victims' family and said she was sorry. The mother of the two girls thanked her, and said that was all she wanted to hear.
Garcia-Cisneros will be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to go through the immigration process.
Garcia-Cisneros faced two felony charges of failing to perform the duties of a driver. She was found guilty on both counts.
Garcia-Cisneros' boyfriend, Mario Echeverria, was the passenger of the SUV. He had already pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence because he didn't report it and he had the car washed after the crash. He was sentenced to 13 months in prison.
KATU's Valerie Hurst contributed to this story.

My little boy woke up this morning grinning from ear to ear and said, "Mom, there is only one more day until we get to go see our cousins." Made my heart happy. Something else that made me happy today is a huge giveway Frigidaire is doing this holiday season. I'll tell you all about it after we get to the recipe – it's perfect for all the leftover turkey that will soon be adorning your fridge :)
Anytime my family gets together it usually revolves around food. My mom is a great cook and even as young children we looked forward to the specific foods that she would prepare for different holidays. She even had specific ways for using up the leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. She had two go to recipes for refashioning the leftovers. She would either make Turkey Vegetable Soup, or she would layer the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and stuffing into a casserole.
Don't tell my mom but I really hated that casserole, and the soup wasn't my favorite either. Yet, somehow, I still found myself making it almost every year with my leftover turkey….that is until I had this very Turkey Lentil Soup, last year. It is delicious.
My Friend Jess, the one who makes great Sausage and Peppers, gave me some of this soup that her dad had made out of her leftover turkey. I was like WOW! That is way better then the soup I have been making all of these years, not to mention healthier with the added protein and fiber from the lentils. I freeze my turkey carcass and a cup or two of leftover turkey and wait a week or so to make soup with it.
Leftover Turkey Lentil Soup
16 cups water
Turkey carcass and 1-2 cups leftover meat, chopped or shredded
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups diced carrot
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups diced potato
2 cups frozen or fresh green beans
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups lentils, rinsed and uncooked
1 29-30 oz can diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
- In a large pot combine 12-13 cups water and turkey carcass. Cover and let simmer for about an hour. Pour stock and bones through a strainer and reserve stock.
- In large soup pot heat 2 tbsp of olive oil. Saute onion, celery, garlic and carrots, 1 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper for 2-3 minutes or until onions are translucent.
- Add rinsed lentils and stir for 1-2 more minutes
- Add turkey stock, turkey meat, potatoes, green beans, diced tomatoes and peas.
- Salt and pepper to taste. You may need to add up to 2 tsp of salt and another 1/8 tsp of pepper because of the amount of soup. If you prefer you can use vegetable or chicken bullion instead of salt.
- Simmer for 40-60 minutes or until lentils are soft. Continue to add water as lentils absorb water in the cooking process. (3-4 cups) Enjoy!
So on to the exciting giveaways from Frigidaire I promised to tell you about. I am sure Frigidaire needs no introduction.

Any parent knows
pictures and kids just go together. But when kids are young, displaying
heavy, breakable or sharp-cornered picture frames in child-accessible
areas can be a bit risky. Displaying favorite photos in padded, fabric-covered
photo frames is a great kid-smart alternative. Fabric covered frames
can be made in any size or shape, in fabrics, colors and textures
to suit any décor, and they can safety withstand the bumps and bonks
of an active household.
finish the holiday wall hanging project:
1. Cut a 10" piece of ribbon, fold the ends in to the middle and crimp
to create a bow. Glue the bow to the top of the ribbon on the back side
of the ribbon, leaving enough ribbon to fold to the back over the bow.
Fold ribbon over the bow and glue to the back side, just below bow.
2. Cut a length
of ribbon a bit longer than the main strip attached to the frames. Glue
this strip to the back of the main strip at the top and at a bit of an
angle. Trim the bottom of each ribbon strip, at slightly different lengths.
3. Glue a small
loop of cording to the back of the bow for a hanger.

If you are one of those people eager to sign up to iTunes Match, you may run into problems if you share your Mac or PC with another person in your home. We have one Mac and a number of iOS devices, including an Apple TV (gen 2). Unfortunately, you can only use one Apple ID on a device every 90 days with iTunes in the Cloud. So, if my wife downloads a few of her past purchases on our mac using her Apple ID I have to wait 90 days before I can do the same.
UNIX and by extension OSX is more than capable of handling multiple users, however the same cannot be said for iTunes and its Cloud-based service. It sees a Mac or PC as one device, regardless of how many users have their own accounts on it.
Sadly, my wife has downloaded past purchases on our Mac and I have to wait around 70 days before I can use Match or download any past purchases.
My advice would be to pick one main Apple ID to use with iTunes (such as the one you use with your Apple TV – if you have one) and then have any other member of the household transfer any music bought on an iOS device to the computer through the normal syncing process.
This is very, very, very annoying. I have no doubt that this is a limitation that has been imposed by the record labels and yes iCloud could provide an opportunity for pirates to get their hands on some free music, but once again it is the legitimate users who suffer.
Here's a relevant forum conversation.
It appears that if you sign up for iTunes Match and your Mac has been assigned to an Apple ID other than your own, you can transfer it back to you during the subscription process. I have now reclaimed my iMac from my wife and am having my music collection matched to the Cloud.
Even so, limiting the service to just one user on a Mac or PC is simply idiotic.

Beating 11-year incumbent Karen Davis by 1205 , John Gardner won the Barren and Metcalfe Counties Commonwealth Attorney's race.
He says he looks forward to serving the people and will focus on the meth problem in these counties as well as reinstating the victims advocacy group.
"Public service has been instilled into me since I was young," says Gardner "My father was a former judge executive and my mother was a school teacher .I'm looking forward to serving Barren and Metcalfe Counties."
Gardner has been practicing general law in Glasgow for about 8 years.
Barren County's voter turn out came out to be about 16 percent.
A pleasant surprise for the county clerks office who were expecting less than 10 percent.

How can I start my commercial cleaning company?
Bidding & Estimating
- mike guluster
First, go to the ISSA website (http://issa.com/?m=download) and download the CIMS material. You will have to register, but that will be something you will want to do anyway. This is the business management end of the cleaning service industry and you will not last long without knowing and applying these essentials.
Next, start searching for startup guides. Don Aslett has some excellent ones.
www.cleanreport.com/Books-by-Don-Aslett/c133/index.html None of his aids is expensive; Cleaning Up for a Living is a good starter.
Bill Griffin has a 600 page monster for reference, if you need detail on how to do what needs to be done. See: www.cleaningpublisher.com/customer/product.php?productid=15&cat=0
The IICRC (www.iicrc.org) has courses in many aspects of cleaning.
Some schools such as Janitor University (www.managemen.com/janitor-university) offer advanced courses in the field.
Make use of the CMM and other Internet information boards to get questions answered.
It will be a lot of learning and hard work, but welcome to an honorable and rewarding service occupation.

Scouting Video: Barrett Barnes, OF, Texas Tech (2012 Draft)
By The Baseball Beginnings Guy
May 9, 2012
Barrett Barnes is seen here as a freshman on the Cape back in 2010, and you could sure dream on the guy. He had that loose, strong body and those hands. He gave you bat speed, gunshots with wood. His other tools played just fine. I have not seen him since his first year on the Cape, but he was the most talented freshman outfielder I had seen on the Cape since I stumbled onto Jackie Bradley Jr. as a freshman at Hyannis in 2009. He should go good here in 2012.

Clean, spacious room, comfortable bed, helpful staff, delicious complimentary breakfast, convenient location, and reasonable price. Will definitely stay there again in the future.
TV was kind of old and had poor sound quality
Old and dumpy
Location. Close to OSU.
Non smoking room right next door to a smoking room. Therefore room smelled like cigarettes.
It was located at one end of the wonderful river-front district with great restaurants and brew pubs within an easy walk. We actually walked through town and around OSU from the hotel, and back to OSU for a football game, so it IS within walking distance of almost everything. The front desk staff was courteous, helpful, and professional.
This hotel is extremely dated given that it is not, in my opinion, inexpensive. Vinyl bathroom floor has cuts and breaks, carpet is old, beds & furnishings are old. The halls smell very musty and of stale cigarette smoke. I think this may be fairly standard for this college town because of the demand during special events. When I visit Corvallis in a few months, I plan on staying farther out of town for significantly less money.
The location was perfect for my needs- close to downtown and easy access to the road to Albany.
The room was clean and there was cable t.v., and good water pressure in the shower. Nothing special to speak of, but a decent, budget-type hotel that works for business trips.
The t.v. didn't work quite right- always scrambling before accepting a new channel. The internet only worked 50% of the time. There was a dirty hand rag left in my shower from the previous guest that was left by staff.
The security lock/latch on my door was broken in half, so it basically provided me no security. The door looked as if it had been kicked in at some point.
The bed was decent, but not super comfortable. The air conditioning unit is LOUD, so loud I had to turn it off just so I could get some sleep.
Staff was moderately friendly, but when I mentioned that the door latch was broken, the response was lukewarm as if it didn't really matter to them.
Staff were friendly and accomdating for a young family. I was traveling with a newborn, and the staff allowed me late checkout to finish feeding my son. The fridge was good for storing milk. Staff made sure my sister and her two kids were in next room over. They also had a good experience. My sister is 5 months pregnant, and she liked the selection at breakfast and thought the bed was comfortable. Good hotel location!
Only 1 trash can in the entire room.
I gave one star because the floors creaked from the rooms above
And all you heard was squeak, squeak ALL night. Plus rooms are
Very dated.
ProffessionalNd courtuous reception staff. Spacious facility. Plenty of parking space.
Very decent lobby
Cold coffee in the reception area
Very clean and the rooms were nice. The bed was extremely comfortable. The front desk staff were down to earth and very helpful.
The Corvallis Hilton is a very nice facility with a very nice location next to the Oregon State University Campus which is walking distance from Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum.
The bed was very firm. So much so that it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. There is no continental breakfast. They have a breakfast buffet but it was fairly expensive.
Breakfast room was so tiny you couldn't find a place to eat.
Nice room. Clean. Good breakfast.
It was a good value. Clean. Good location. Friendly staff. Walking distance to restaurants and bars.
Rooms were clean
An RV trailer park shared the same parking lot, which had large stinky dumpsters with bee's & fly's buzzing around.
I stayed two nights and had a great sleep both nights.
Looking for a simple motel to sleep with no frills and a cheap price, this is the place.
Skip the breakfast of coffee flavoured water and generic Twinkies. At the cheap price of the motel, eat some place local, several choices within walking distance.
It's a motel not a hotel, predominantly meth heads used it for accommodation and it was filthy, hair clippings, sticky floor, stains on sheets and towels. I wish I was exaggerating. I have never stayed in a place like that ever.
Easy to find
Terrible customer service bed was extremely hard room smelled
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Animation stars wizards, kings, and naked sirens
By Daniel Rolnik in Video on Wednesday 17 October 2012
Adrian and I met at a film camp in Boston when we were just little pipsqueaks. He introduced me to the world of stoner metal and crazy horror films by companies like Troma. He just released his first animation named Vaesen, which is heavy as all hell and involves wizards, kings, and naked sirens.

Presented by those same great folks who bring you the premiere animation talent event of the year, the CTN animation eXpo®, in association with Woodbury University, CTN is proud to launch their Mini Event series for 2011 with the exclusive US appearance of Animator, Director, Visual Development Creator and Filmmaker Reno Armanet. Moderating the event will be award winning Art Director and Concept Artist from Walt Disney and most recently Hasbro, Christopher Vacher. Two great french talents in one great day.

Reno himself is currently directing several short films that include OA and Symhio and has been asked to collaborate alongside Master 2D animator Pablo Navarro on the feature animated film Labyrinth.
In this US Exclusive Appearance Reno will present the highlights of what is normally a week long workshop held at the Annecy Film Festival, in this full one-day intensive experimental and full Animation Master Class and Filmmakers Conversation. He will discuss, demonstrate, answer questions, critique films, look at portfolios and show examples of other films that reveal the passion, creativity and inspiration behind developing successful independent animated films.

The French Interpreter/Moderator, Christophe Vacher, is a French artist who has provided background art, visual development and art direction for Walt Disney Feature Animation and the animation industry since 1989.

Strategies for Pain Management in the Cath Lab
Are you ready for a non-data driven lecture? I think it is important to take a look at the topic of pain management from a different perspective, and review how we take care of our patients. You do need the hard data; I am not downplaying its importance. You need to be able to understand that doctors make decisions with their patients' best interests in mind, rather than basing these decisions on which vendors bring the best bagels. The point I am making is that pain management in the cath lab is about more than drugs. It is about the fact that our patients come to us and expect us to relieve their pain. They expect it, but they don't get it. After this lecture, I want you to come away understanding that we have to do better and we can do better.
Patients are petrified that we will not take away their pain. We must approach pain management with the knowledge that it is not just about chemistry; there is a human being underneath the chemistry, and we can offer correct pain management if we realize this fact. An easy way to remember this fact is to pretend that the patient is your own mother.
Let's start with the basics. How many of you just walk into the room and automatically start to turn over the room covering up the patient, straightening the sheets, straightening the lines. Do you remember to introduce yourself? Hi, I'm Marsha. My job is to make sure that you're comfortable, and I'm pretty good at it. These words go a long way to reassure the patient. It's just a few words, but they connect you with your patient, who is feeling disconnected from reality at this point. Let the person know that there is a single person who is going to take care of their pain and their fear. While you do that, reach for a warm blanket.
Pain management is a patient control measure, not a staff control measure. I know that sounds kind of light, but if you know that you always give fentanyl and versed to every patient, you are not giving adequate pain control. You have to understand that some patient populations are stoic. How many of you have had a patient on the table with ST elevations that get worse and worse, and they never flinch? In some cultures and/or religions, people believe that it is their duty or penance to deal with their pain. Some may believe that the more pain they deal with on earth, the less they have to deal with in heaven. You have to be aware that the rising heart rate and ST elevations can be treated, but the patient isn't going to ask for it.
On the flip side, how many of you have had a patient on the table that starts screaming the minute you touch them? This patient population belongs to a culture that believes that if they share their pain with everyone, and loudly, the pain will be dispersed through the surrounding people. Your heart is pounding, but they feel better.
Remember, your job is to adjust your pain management to your patient's needs. Be aware of the subtle things that will show that they are in pain.
Tell your patients when it will hurt. Don't tell them after the doctor has already stuck the leg with the needle to deliver the lidocaine. Use your finger, touch the place and show them where the needle is going. Say, This is where it is going to hurt. By the time I finish banging on your leg, it will be numb. As long as they are aware what is going to happen, they can handle anything. However, if you sucker-punch one of your patients, you've just wiped out your ability to relieve their pain. Their catecholamines have gone up and you're fighting a losing battle, because they don't trust you anymore. Tell your patient everything that is going to happen.
Have you ever heard the thought that telling the patient that it might hurt will have them expecting it to hurt? Personally, I think this is hogwash. We are taking care of people, and our patients need and expect to be treated with respect.
Your patients can handle anything if they are told what to expect. If the patient knows that you can take care of the pain, they will go through the procedure with flying colors. Again, the message is collaboration working with patients to help them get through the procedure with the least amount of pain and anxiety.
In the meantime, ask the patient what type of music they enjoy. If you asked me to tell you one thing about the practice at Washington Hospital Center, for example, I would say that they look at every possible way to make the patient experience better. If the patient likes jazz music, they put on jazz music. If the patient wants earphones, they will give them earphones, but if the patient doesn't want them, the music is put on for the entire staff to hear. They wrap the patients in warm blankets. They set the mood with guided imagery, which is a way for the patient to control their fears. For example, the patient will be instructed to think of a calm, happy place where he would like to go when he is really afraid. The mood is set. If the patient asks you for jazz, do not put on country music. (Unless you are laughing together and have the time to make a little joke before the procedure. Remember to put on the music they asked for before you leave the room.)
There are some things about drugs we need to understand. Pharmacology and pharmacology competencies are part of everybody's orientation program. I am not here to talk about them. I will discuss them briefly, but I am not here to tell you specific amounts of the specific drugs. You will find that in any of your programs. I am here to talk about the practice of pain management, not the science. I am talking about the heart of your patient. I am talking about making them feel comfortable enough so that you can fix their pain with the least amount of emotional trauma. When you are going to use drugs, use the good drugs, and use a lot of the good drugs. Medications in the cath lab are given in addition to good patient care. You cannot give any medication that is going to work if your patient is cold and frightened, and you put on country music when he likes classical.
The technologists at my lab have taught me one caveat. In the state of Maryland, the x-ray technologists are allowed to give medications. I have never seen one of them give a drug without first asking if the patient was allergic to anything. They ask every single patient, every single time.
Remember your elders. Just as there are cultural differences among patients that must be addressed, we must realize that our patient population is getting older. You are going to have patients in their 70s and 80s, and the older they get, the less muscle mass they have. This is going to skew your drug administration and it is also going to skew your lab values. You have to consider that the nurse who failed to give 10 mg of valium in pre-op did so for a reason. She did it because she didn't want this elderly woman on the table an hour later who hasn't had anything to drink for the last 12 hours, is now scared to death and the drug hit her too hard, and she now has to reverse it. Remember to approach the elderly just a little differently than you would somebody in their 20s. That doesn't mean you don't have to treat them; it just means you have to be careful.
Pain medication begins in the pre-op area. How many of your patients have told you that they were given medication in the pre-op or trans-care area, but it's not working? Do you tell them that it's not supposed to, so they don't think they are taking pills for nothing? Tell them it's going to work after you're finished; after they are so happy that we didn't knock them off doing the procedure that they can relax and the medications will work. We give them medications in their intravenous lines, and that's what works. This brings us to the following point: make sure your IVs work.
Everybody uses drug cocktails. No matter which lab you ask, they will tell you that they use fentanyl and versed. In some cases, labs will use demerol; the problem with demerol is that it has a metabolic breakdown that is different, but it is a very good drug when people come in with a broken arm. You can still use fentanyl and versed; they're short-acting.
How many of you have ever had to take care of one of your friends or colleagues? They know what you're going to do, and you're trying really hard to be cool so that they can relax. Tell them right up front that they're too awake, know too much and that you're going to put them to sleep and wake them up when it's over. People in our profession know what to expect, and that sometimes increases their pain and anxiety.
How many of you do electrophysiology? How many of you give EP patients enough drugs to knock out your whole cath lab and they're still talking to you? The EP doctors can't tell you why this is so. They'll tell you that the patients are young. Oh, really? When I go into the EP lab, I see patients who are just as old as we see in the cath lab. They're not that much younger. They'll tell you that their patients don't have all of the other diseases that our patients tend to have. Oh really? How do you think they got the patients? They got them after we took care of them in the cath lab.
Again, I think it is common sense. If I stuck my finger into an electrical socket, I would have a stress reaction. What do you think they are doing in the EP lab? Zing, zing, zing. I've never had to reverse a patient in the EP lab. It is amazing to me that these people can tolerate this much medicine. Catecholamines are wonderful.
Let's talk about overdosing, which is rare, but does happen. How many times have you actually had to reverse fentanyl and versed? It doesn't happen that often. Why do we really need to reverse? In those rare cases where there is respiratory depression, you may need to reverse. It is easier to reverse a bit of the medicine than intubate for an hour. Give your patient a little bit, and see how well they recover. The reversal agents only last an hour. Cath lab drugs last 2"4 hours. Give them the pain management medications on the lighter side and a little bit more frequently, and you won't have to reverse. It's common sense. Pretend it's your mother.
How many of you have consistent documentation? How many of you have gone through JCAHO this year? Did they look for consistent documentation of conscious sedation? (Same place, same form, same way, no matter what unit you're on, from door to door.) That's what JCAHO is going to do. They're going to say, Are you using the same Aldretti scale when you're doing conscious sedation? Are you using the same pain management scale? It doesn't matter which scale your hospital uses (e.g., the little cookie faces with smileys and frowns, etc.) as long as it's a standard that is recognized and consistently documented.
Congress considers lack of pain control to be a violent act to your patients. Now, we all know what violence is. If you don't relieve your patient's pain, Congress has decided that you are behaving violently and inhumanely toward your patients. This puts it in a totally different perspective, doesn't it? Pain management no longer becomes a generous thing to do. It becomes something that we need to do because we are human beings, and we have concerns about whether our patients are scared and hurting.
Pain management is a mandate. It is something that JCAHO is looking to see in your facility. They have actually called this the decade of pain management and wrote standards that were published in 2001. The standards start out with the given that all patients have the right to have their pain controlled. It is a written mandate, and it is in your standards of care. It's the patient's right and your responsibility to educate your patients about their rights. Not only do you have to relieve their pain, you have to tell them that you are going to relieve it, and it is expected that you will do so.
Throughout the world, we are not controlling pain. Throughout the world, patients are complaining that those of us in the medical field are not controlling their pain. We can do better.

Silent No More Awareness Campaign
It's called "Silent No More." So they are speaking out.
This afternoon at the University of Florida, two women and two men from Jacksonville were brought in to speak about their abortion experiences to students. The event was organized by student group the Pro-Life Alliance.
Silent No More Awareness Campaign Regional Coordinator Mary Lopez Huston said, "We don't speak or tell our stories for any political reason. For any other reason than for people to know the truth. We probably were the ones that were the most scared to tell anyone about our abortion experience."
The speakers wore pins that said "I regret my abortion." and "I regret lost fatherhood." Between 40 and 50 students stopped to hear their message.

Galore opens with a quote from Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which is appropriate since Michael Crummey's novel bears the clear influence of Marquez's work. Like Marquez's seminal novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, Galore takes place in a small town over the course of several generations, focused on the members of one central family, many of whom have similar names, and certain elements of the story play with magical realism. Crummey, an accomplished poet as well as a novelist, also shares Marquez's knack for haunting, evocative language, which paints a vivid and otherworldly portrait of his setting on the Newfoundland coast during the 19th century.
Narrator John Lee is a perfect match for Crummey's style, his almost musical voice augmenting the already folkloric way that Crummey tells the story. Lee brings a lovely lilt to the voices of the Irish-immigrant characters, and differentiates them with subtle inflections. That's important, because the novel introduces dozens of characters over the course of its sprawling narrative, all tied together loosely by Judah Devine, a mute albino man who's discovered alive in the belly of a whale as the story begins. Judah serves as a sort of totem for the small fishing village where he ends up, and while his arrival is probably the most fantastical event in Crummey's story, it presages other mystical happenings that are seamlessly interwoven with the cycle of birth, marriage, and death that forms the history of the village.
Lee wades through all of it elegantly, jumping from one character to another with ease. The way that Crummey obscures the passage of time is one of Galore's most appealing elements, and Lee navigates those transitions smoothly, carrying the listener on a journey that had the potential to be disorienting in the hands of a less assured performer. Instead, it's captivating and transporting, and the credit for that goes to both Crummey and Lee. Josh Bell
When a whale beaches itself on the shore of the remote coastal town of Paradise Deep, the last thing any of the townspeople expect to find inside it is a man, silent and reeking of fish but remarkably alive. The discovery of this mysterious person, soon christened Judah, sets the town scrambling for answers as its most prominent citizens weigh in on whether he is man or beast, blessing or curse, miracle or demon.
Though Judah is a shocking addition, the town of Paradise Deep is already full of unusual characters. King-me Sellers, self-appointed patriarch, has it in for an inscrutable woman known only as Devine's Widow, with whom he has a decades-old feud. Her granddaughter, Mary Tryphena, is just a child when Judah washes ashore but finds herself tied to him all her life in ways she never expects. Galore is the story of the saga that develops between these families, full of bitterness and love, spanning two centuries.
With Paradise Deep, award-winning novelist Michael Crummey imagines a realm in which the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to discern. Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, Galore is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us.
Michael Crummey is a poet and storyteller, as well as the author of the critically acclaimed novels River Thieves and The Wreckage and the short-story collection Flesh and Blood. He has been nominated for the Giller Prize, the IMPAC Dublin Award, and the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, and he won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Canada for Galore. He lives in St. John's, Newfoundland.

"Crummey lovingly carves out the privation and inner intricacies that mark his characters' lives with folkloric embellishments and the precision of the finest scrimshaw." (Publishers Weekly)
Lush Vineyard
Galore is a spellbinding novel set in far away Newfoundland. Author Crummey uses his exotic but fiercely real homeland to create the setting for a novel which is by turns magical and real.
The Divine family takes in a stranger who slips from the belly of a beached whale. We follow the Divines and other families of the small shore village through generations, as they adapt to changes in faith and fisheries on the North Atlantic.
John Lee's narration is outstanding as always. His sonorous voice and the prose of the book were so engaging that I found myself swept away and needed to backtrack a few times to follow the story.
Galore is outstanding, but not perfect. I enjoyed the magical realism, but other readers may find it a bit too woo-woo...... 4 1/2 stars.
"Intriguing saga"
The first time I started to listen to this, I was doing it passively and waiting for the book to draw me in. After half an hour or so, I gave up in frustration, unable to keep up with the fast-paced character introductions. The second time I tried, I gave it my full attention, and let it take me where it would. Soon, I was hooked and loving the ride. John Lee's narration is wonderful and enhances Crummey's multi-generational tale. The book reminds me of the oral histories I heard as a child in upstate New York, rich and familiar. The characters are immigrants from Ireland, many still speaking Gaelic, and like immigrants everywhere, they carry their histories and prejudices with them. Their society is divided by status and wealth, as most are, but the individuals are well-drawn and compelling.
I didn't know much about Newfoundland, but this was a good introduction. Now I'd like to visit.
Voracious reader
This is a long, beautiful genealogy of a Newfoundland town that is forever altered by the appearance of an albino man found in the belly of a whale is superbly narrated by John Lee. The inhabitants of this town are affected and unaffected by world events and Michael Crummey does a fantastic job of describing the insularity and deprivation of a small fishing village that is dragged into the early twentieth century.
"Beautiful prose going on and on for generations"
I started into this book thinking that I had really picked a winner. The prose was really beautiful and the story started off with great characters and setting. But it really seemed to go on and on with so many characters that it was hard to feel invested in any of them. Perhaps I was supposed to be feeling invested in the place itself, but that didn't happen. Instead, I found myself tuning out and generally, hoping it would end soon.
The voice was excellent and the recording was too.
Female, love a good mystery, Victorian English literature and love to laugh (Dickens, Austen, Trollepe, Wodehouse, Gaskell, Elliot
"Such a letdown"
Very poor writing (crummy) and the narration, in my view, ruined the listening experience. I felt the story lacked any sense of refinement and the crudeness unnecessary, no sense of feeling developed for any of the characters. I couldn't finish it.
"What a great book"
I loved this book. It was a little hard to keep all the names straight, there are multiple generations of families. (My memory for names is not good anyway.) But it was beautifully written, very interesting to read. I actually wish I had read it instead of listening, partly to be able to go back and remember who was who and partly to savor the reading experience. John Lee is a great reader, too. I felt ( to my American ear) that the accents were understandable. But they were still definitely accents that take the listener to another time and place, allowing me gain insight into people living in a world very different from the one I am in.
"Did not hold my interest"
Just couldn't get into it. Didn't hold my interest, only book I haven't finished.
and a penny for your thoughts
I love "sagas" but found this very hard to follow. The jumping back and forth from one generation did not add add anything to the story and the author often repeats himself. To make it worse, the reader's monotone, sing-song style did not help. It's hard enough to tell when Lee switches between characters, as he does them all the same. Couple that with the confusing story line and this was not a winner for me. Perhaps this is one book that must be read to be appreciated. (or read by someone else)
"OMG Kill me now"
Two hours into it and all I'm getting is the "Charlie Brown" wah wah wah wah. Can't take it anymore!
Beacon Reader
"The Irish transplanted."
I swore after reading Angela's Ashes I would never read or listen to another Irish novel again.
How a whole culture and it's literature can be built on drunkenness and starvation is beyond me.
It is a good story with an array of interesting characters.
Well read by John Lee who has become my favorite reader.
why can't i just write a review without answering these questions?

"Senator Coats Calls Out Wasteful Defense Contractors"
This week the United States Senate is debating a proposed six-hundred-twelve-billion-dollar budget for the Department of Defense. Speaking before the Senate today, Senator Dan Coats of Indiana took on one particular section of the military budget as he gave his regular Waste of the Week speech. Coats criticized wasteful defense contractors, particularly one company that has recently been accused of misspending millions of dollars in Afghanistan. Coats does not mention the contractor by name. But a report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction indicates the alleged violator is the Imperatis Corporation, based in Arlington, Virginia. As of 2012, the company had more than a billion dollars worth of contracts with the American military. We bring you a portion of Coats' speech now, in this WFHB report.
Two-thirds of American adults (and way too many kids) need to lose weight, and there are more scammers working this field than perhaps any other. So called "miracle" products are ALL phony!

Decent cook. Quoter of random pop culture. Big on new adventures.
I've spent a lot of time away from Toronto. Living in 3 different cities, I moved back after working in NYC (although I do like to go back and visit). I have a large family, with many nieces and nephews, who I am close with.
Travel is a passion – the journey can be better than the destination. I hope to always continue my search of the most picturesque beaches, cities, countrysides, and friendliest people.
Food is a major inspiration – I am always on the lookout for new restaurants and experiences. From trying new places from the world's top chefs, to places I've seen on tv shows like Man v. Food.
I am funny, easygoing, and passionate [but then again – everyone thinks they are] I think it is important to be around people who can teach new things, and who are open to new experiences. Let's explore something new together. . .

Pass includes admission to all of the following:
Aiken-Rhett House – 48 Elizabeth Street
The Aiken-Rhett House is the most intact urban townhouse complex in Charleston, with some of the best-preserved slave quarters in the Southeast. It provides a vivid record of slave life in an urban antebellum household. William Aiken, Jr., was a governor of South Carolina, a member of the U. S. House of Representatives, and one of the state's largest slaveholders. On the eve of the Civil War, he owned more than 700 slaves at his Jehossee rice plantation, located on the South Edisto River. A small group of approximately 12 skilled slaves maintained his mansion house, now known as the Aiken-Rhett House.
The Charleston Museum – 360 Meeting Street
Learn about the plantation system, particularly rice and cotton producers, and discover artifacts such as slave badges and slave-made pottery unique to the Lowcountry. Learn about Dave, a literate slave who produced beautiful, large-scale pottery often inscribed with brief poems, and other important South Carolina potters. Also explore the extraordinary "voodoo jugs," "grotesques" and other effigy vessels on which slaves applied facial features to their works.
Old Slave Mart Museum – 6 Chalmers Street
The Old Slave Mart Museum tells the story of Charleston's role as an urban slave-trading center during the domestic slave trade, a hugely profitable economy organized by local and regional slave traders within the United States who forcibly relocated over 1 million American-born slaves from the upper South to the lower South in the decades before the Civil War. The Old Slave Mart is the only structure remaining of a complex of buildings known as Ryan's Mart where hundreds of slave auctions were held from 1856-1863. The museum's main exhibit focuses on the daily process of slave sales at Ryan's Mart from the perspectives of a number of its historically documented buyers, traders, and enslaved African Americans and speaks to their stories, contributions and legacies.
