"Honey, can you run up to Walgreens and pick me up some Tylenol, a Snickers and, oh yeah, a breast pump?" Apparently, it could happen! I had to do a double-take when we passed by Walgreens on our way up to Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend. I saw the word "breastfeeding" and I was like, "what? on a Walgreen's sign?" I told Jody, who was driving and had his eyes on the road, that the sign said "Breastfeeding We Rent Breast Pumps" and he insisted we go back so I could take a picture. :) I wonder if they had this up because ofRead More →

Brand Image as a Function of Self-Image and Self-Brand Connection
This study investigates how brand image relates to self-image and how brand consumption contributes to the construction of self. Most of the research on brand image refers to brand attitudes. Day (1970) considers attitudes "a central integrating feature" in marketing theory and advertising evaluation. Gardner (1985, p.197) studied differences in brand attitudes as they relate to advertisements, finding attitude toward an advertisement affects attitude toward the advertised brand as much under a brand evaluation set as under a nonbrand evaluation set. The present study goes beyond Gardner's research to show why such attitudes exist as they relate to brand consumption and self-image. Erickson and Johansson (1985) also investigated product evaluations, with an analysis of surveyed beliefs, attitudes, and intentions regarding fashion brands. They concluded that price is not a significant determinant of overall attitude. This study inquires whether brand attitudes and beliefs correlate with purchase behavior in the form of self-brand connection.

You Asked For It: Ebook Formatting From A to Z
So I've been railing for YEARS that ebook formatting is not hard. I've been doing it myself since I started self publishing in 2010 and I FINALLY got around to putting together a class to teach the rest of you. It is available through WANA International.
Ebook Formatting from A to Z is an intensive 4 session class designed to teach you how to take your book from Word doc to all industry standard formats. You'll be ready to self publish on any and all major platforms. Class is designed to take place over a period of weeks to give you a chance to implement the skills I'm teaching you in your own manuscript, with an opportunity for me to check your work and do hands-on troubleshooting. Each lesson is a streaming video that you can watch on your own time (as many times as you want). Then you'll have access to interactive classrooms and discussion boards for more in-depth problem solving, as the need arises. This class will be most effective if you have a manuscript ready to format, as it is a hands-on skill.
It's $160 a head and is available starting March 31st. So…spread the word and stuff.
3 thoughts on "You Asked For It: Ebook Formatting From A to Z"
Ooh, I might need to scrape together the cash for this one…
Cool. I don't have any books ready to format at the moment, but I'll spread the word. I'm sure I know other writers who are looking for exactly the kind of knowledge your class will provide.
I agree it isn't difficult – but so many seem to be scared of the process I hope your class helps to dispell fears:)

well hopefully we can get ps2 isos to load soon, I still have a spindle full of backed up ps2 games
well hopefully we can get ps2 isos to load soon, I still have a spindle full of backed up ps2 games
somehow we need the ps3 to go into ps2 mode without clearing the exploit from memory because when you start up a ps2 game the ps3 does a software reset as far as I can tell and starts up ps2 emulation. So we need ps2 emulation to run without resetting the ps3 software. so someone needs to make a homebrew program which starts ps2 emulation on top of the GameOs instead of reseting the GameOs.
I can't access the back up manager in firmware mode, and ps2 disc shows up as unsupported data ?
This should work with multiMAN, too, because it uses syscall35 to mount dev_ps2disc and dev_ps2disc1 to the HDD folder of the PS2 game.
I wonder if it is possible to use a HDD backup copy of Singstar PS3
And to all: you need a payload with peek/poke support for JaiC USB FirmLoader and syscall35 for /dev_ps2disc* mounting.
this is what happens every time I use nXMB.
So it doesn't work? =[
Deanrr, i just tested it myself and it just launch the original disc on the drive, so this method is not working for the time being.
But we would need a original Singstar Game for the ps2.
And the xml hack would be usless.It would only be needed to use a mc but not to be able to boot ps2 games.
Just an original PS2 game, doesn't need to be Singstar. Does require original PS3 Singstar though.
Which payload do you recommend?
Ok mixed up something. But anyway you will need a original PS3 Singstar and a original PS2 game.Even if it works and we are able to boot ps2 games it wouldn't be a acceptable task for me.
I would try something other to get it more user friendly done.
Its there... just a few steps ahead... you will see
i think there must be more changes be done to load PS2/PSone games from the Backup manager, the structure of the files are others PS3 have EBOOT.BIN and PS3_DISC.SFO and PARAM.SFO
PS1/PS2 have SYSTEM.CNF and SLUS/SLES files to boot so you have to change many more then the dev_bdvd to dev_ps2disc and PS1 games will not use dev_ps2_disc i think
i have tray using dev_cdrom but i know its wronk for load PS1 game so i hope some one find out how we have to change to load them.

Humane Society of Southwest Washington joined Columbian.com readers April 20, 2012. The hour-long chat included their policies, supporters, volunteer opportunities, and information about upcoming events such as the 21st annual Walk for the Animals.
Are there any local people or organizations you would like to see on a live chat? This is your chance to tell us! Send your ideas and topics to social media coordinator Matt Wastradowski firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet the live chat intern, Setareh Alizadeh, @col_chats.
Live chat transcript April 20, 2012:
Setareh Alizadeh: Welcome to today's live chat! The Humane Society of Southwest Washington will be joining us shortly. Send in your comments and questions and be the first to chat with them.
Southwest Humane: Hi!
Setareh Alizadeh: Thank you for joining us today, we will wait a little while longer before we begin!
Southwest Humane: Great
Setareh Alizadeh: Would you like to introduce yourself? And tell us your roll with The Humane Society of Southwest Washington.
Southwest Humane: Hello, I am Courtney Givens, Director of Development and Communications for the Humane Society and with me is Lisa Feder, Director of Operation for HSSW.
Setareh Alizadeh: Wonderful! Glad to have you two here.
Southwest Humane: Thank you for having us!
Setareh Alizadeh: Lets start off by telling our readers a little bit more about your organization and the open admissions policy.
Southwest Humane: The Humane Society for Southwest Washington was established in 1897 and serves as southwest Washington's only open admission shelter. Open admission means that we take in any and every animal regardless of age, sex, breed, condition or health.
Southwest Humane: We also shelter all stray animals for Clark County Animal Control as they do not have a facility of their own.
Setareh Alizadeh: Is this the only open admissions shelter in Portland as well?
Southwest Humane: In addition to our animal population, we also offer education programs, outreach, two thrift stores and an in-house retail store.
Southwest Humane: Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas County all have municipal shelters that primarily accept stray dogs and cats in conjunction with their animal control function.
Southwest Humane: They do take owner surrender as space allows.
Setareh Alizadeh: Where is your facility located?
Southwest Humane: We are located in east Clark County off of 192nd – just north of the new Costco. 1100 NE 192nd Ave., Vancouver, WA 98684
Southwest Humane: We do accept volunteers and have a very active program. We have an adult volunteer program as well as a Teen Volunteer Program for students age 15-17.
Southwest Humane: All of our Volunteer Program information can be found on our website at www.southwesthumane,org
Setareh Alizadeh: How is the Humane Society financially funded?
Southwest Humane: We are funded from a variety of sources including services such as adoption and surrender fees, our thrift stores, fundraising, private donations, grants and contracts to serve as the shelter for animal control.
Southwest Humane: Overall, we are a completely philanthropically funded organization. Fundraising and private donations account for approximately 63% of our income each year. We are extremely proud to have received our 4-star rating on Charity Navigator. It will show that our Admin and fundraising costs are under 10%!
Setareh Alizadeh: How does the adoption process work?
Southwest Humane: The goal of our adoption process is to match people with pets and pets with people! The public is welcome to visit the shelter 7 days a week and view all of our adoptable animals. They can also visit them online. Once a person finds an animal they are interested in, we arrange a "social" for the person and family to meet the animal. If it is a good fit, we have the adopter sit with a staff member and counsel them about taking home their new pet. All of our animals are spayed and neutered before they can go home as well as microchipped and licensed.
Setareh Alizadeh: I heard about the Adopt A Thon in March , how did the event go? Here is a link about the event http://www.columbian.com/news/2012/mar/30/humane-society-host-adopt-thon-saturday/
Southwest Humane: It was awesome! We adopted out 131 animals in 12 hours!
Southwest Humane: It was heartening to see the community response and so many animals find wonderful new homes.
Setareh Alizadeh: I will upload some images of pets that need adopting
Southwest Humane: Great – I know we have sent you some pictures of several of our long time residents who we are anxious to find homes for.
Southwest Humane: That is Parker and he has been with us for 94 days so far. Parker is a great dog. We believe he is a greyhound mix. Very social and a staff and volunteer favorite!
Donna Dunbar Mason: What about Millie the Dalmatian mix? She is a great dog. Is she still waiting, or did she find a home yet? She was this week-s featured dog in the Columbian.
Southwest Humane: Millie is a GREAT dog! She is still with us although many have shown interest in her but we are still looking for the right home!
Southwest Humane: Ah, Sarsgard! I love this sweet boy. He is a 4-yr old German Shepard mix and has been with us for 97 days.
Setareh Alizadeh: Buddy caught my attention, is there any additional surgeries for this cat that a owner would need to give?
Southwest Humane: This is Buddy. Buddy is a darling cat with a friendly disposition even despite his disability. His front two legs were broken at one point and did not heal correctly. He does fine compensating and will not require future surgeries for his paws. Buddy has been with us over four months now.
Setareh Alizadeh: He looks like a playful fella!
Southwest Humane: This is Lucky and this happy lab has been with us for over four months as well. He is very active for an older dog.
Southwest Humane: This is Honeysuckle – a beautiful torti – very striking when you see her. She is five years old and been with us for just over 8 months. Honeysuckle will need a home that is quiet where she won't be chased as her knees are weak. She may need medical attention in the future such as arthritis medicine but for now she is comfortable and happy.
Setareh Alizadeh: Has the economy affected your adoption rates? Are people not adopting as often as they used to?
Southwest Humane: Not necessarily – we have seen an increase in our adoptions over the past few years. Where we see an economic impact is in the number of surrenders – families who are no longer financially able to care for their animals.
Southwest Humane: or are having to move due to job changes, housing loss, etc.
Southwest Humane: The economy has also affected our ability to raise funds in the community.
Setareh Alizadeh: Will there be fundraising opportunities in the upcoming events such as the Walk for the Animals?
Southwest Humane: Absolutely! The Walk is our second largest fundraising event. We raise funds through registrations, peer to peer fundraising, vendor booths and sponsorships! The Walk is a great community event with over 800 participants and 500+ companion animals. We encourage everyone to come out on May 5th and support us in any way they can!
Southwest Humane: It is held annually at Esther Short Park, starting at 7:30am!
Setareh Alizadeh: How long will the event be running?
Southwest Humane: The event usually ends around noon to 12:30 and then participants can enjoy the Farmer's Market which is conveniently located next door!
Setareh Alizadeh: Should owners bring their pets? will there be any activities going on?
Southwest Humane: Of course! This is a big day for them as well! We just suggest a couple of guidelines: 1. Pets should be on a leash 2. They should be currently vaccinated and licensed for their safety 3. Please clean up after your pets.
Setareh Alizadeh: Wonderful!
Setareh Alizadeh: What is the Paws on the Green Golf Tournament about?
Southwest Humane: As for activities, there is a Vendor Village that showcases local businesses, non-profits and our own services such as micro-chipping, licensing, retail and our thrift stores!
Southwest Humane: This is another annual fundraiser for the HSSW. In our second year, it is a great day on the links for everyone. We hold the tournament at Camas Meadows in August and we encourage all the golf lovers out there to come out and join the fun!
Setareh Alizadeh: Are there registration requirements for the tournament?
Southwest Humane: Yes, interested parties can either contact myself at 360.213.2615 or go online to register for individual spots, foursomes or sponsorships!
Setareh Alizadeh: Or age limits?
Southwest Humane: No age limits for the tournament or Walk! In fact, at the Walk, we have a Kids Corner with fun activities all morning long!
Setareh Alizadeh: Will there be any camp or kids volunteer opportuntities during the summer?
Southwest Humane: Why yes, we have a Critter Camp program for children entering 3-6 grades. There are three sessions, each a week long. You can register your child by contacting Amy Tanska, Development & Education Supervisor at email@example.com. …Camp dates are: WEEK 1 Grades: 3-4 June 25-29, 10am – 3pm WEEK 2 Grades: 5-6 July 16-20, 10am – 3pm WEEK 3 Grades: 5-6 July 30 – August 3, 10am – 3pm
Donna Dunbar Mason: If you have time, could you please also talk a bit about the re-vamped, "new and improved" ReTail Thrifts stores, the need for donations, the new donation drop off at the Shelter, etc.?
Southwest Humane: Absolutely – Our ReTails Thrift Stores, formerly Paws n Claws, are one of our main funding sources. The Humane Society for Southwest Washington is proud to offer the southwest Washington community two quality thrift stores. Together, our two ReTails Thrift Stores are one of the largest contributors to the Humane Society, and proceeds directly benefit the more than 10,000 animals served each year. At ReTails Thrift Stores shoppers can explore aisles of gently used clothing, housewares, furniture and more at great prices. Merchanside changes daily, so every day brings a new shopping experience. ReTails prides itself on quality merchandise, low prices, friendly staff, and a clean and comfortable shopping environment. Shoppers will find well displayed merchandise, organized shelves, plenty of room to move about and even a "boutique" at ReTails Thrift Store #1 where high-end, name brand merchandise is displayed. ReTails also welcomes your donations of gently used, clean and quality items. For donation locations, a list of acceptable items, and tax information, please visit our Thrift Stores' "Donate" page. There's defintely something for everyone at ReTails Thrift Stores. Come see us!! .
Southwest Humane: You can always find more information about all of our services and programs on our website at www.southwesthumane.org.

Southwest Humane: Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Setareh Alizadeh: thanks again to The Humane Society of Southwest Washington. Until next time, have a great Friday and wonderful weekend!

The Founding Fathers & the Classics: The Stream of Classical History Was One of the Primary Tributaries of American Political Thought at the Time of the Founding
Wolverton, Joe, II, The New American
I have but one lamp by which my feel are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.-- Patrick Henry March 23, 1775
p Patrick Henry's view of the value of history was not unique. The men who framed our constitutional republic agreed with French author Charles Pinot Duclos, who observed:
We see on the theater of the world a certain number of scenes which succeed each other in endless repetition: where we see the same faults followed regularly by the same misfortunes, we may reasonably think that if we could have known the first we might have avoided the others. The past should enlighten us on the future: knowledge of history is no more than an anticipated experience.
All of our Founding Fathers believed that history was a precursor of the future. In the annals of history--particularly that of the Roman and Greek republics of antiquity--they believed they could find the key to inoculating America against the diseases that infected and destroyed past societies. Indeed, it has been said that the Founders were coroners examining the lifeless bodies of the republics and democracies of the past, in order to avoid succumbing to the maladies that shortened their lives.
The Founders learned very early in life to venerate the illuminating stories of ancient Greece and Rome. They learned these stories, not from secondary sources, but from the classics themselves. And from these stories they drew knowledge and inspiration that helped them found a republic far greater than anything created in antiquity.
Early Education
Classical training usually began at age eight, whether in a school or at home under the guidance of a private tutor. One remarkable teacher who inculcated his students with a love of the classics was Scotsman Donald Robertson. Many future luminaries were enrolled in his school: James Madison, John Taylor of Caroline, John Tyler and George Rogers Clark, among others. Robertson and teachers like him nourished their charges with a healthy diet of Greek and Latin, and required that they learn to master Virgil, Horace, Justinian, Tacitus, Herodotus, Lucretius and Thucydides. Further along in their education, students were required to translate Cicero's Orations and Virgil's Aeneid. They were expected to translate Latin and Greek passages aloud, write out the translations in English, and then re-translate the passages back into the original language using a different tense.
The standards were no less rigorous for those taught at home. George Wythe, the renowned Virginian who would come to be known as the "Teacher of Liberty," was himself taught to appreciate the writings of the ancients at home by his mother. Tragically, Wythe's mother died when he was very young, but she lived long enough to anchor her son's education on very firm moorings. Before she died she taught Wythe to read and translate both the fundamental languages of antiquity, Greek and Latin. According to one early biographer, Wythe "had a perfect knowledge of the Greek language taught to him by his mother in the backwoods."
Whether at home or in a schoolhouse, the goal of education in the early days of our nation was to instill virtue in the students. The Founders were taught that free societies were sustained by a virtuous populace, and that, if a society were to abandon a study of the classics, that same society would eventually abandon the virtues championed by the classical authors.
There was a more pragmatic side to the Founders' classical education as well. Twenty-seven of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were college educated. Moreover, of the 55 delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, 30 were college graduates. That is an impressive feat given the challenging entrance requirements of 18th-century universities. Fortunately for the young Founding Fathers, the teachers of the day exercised their students in Greek and Latin, so that their pupils could meet the rigorous entrance requirements of colonial colleges. …

Steve Rogers woke up in the 21st century and to a world full of new modern technology and changes. He's still not comfortable about his new life except when he is Captain America. When S.H.I.E.L.D. learns HYDRA agents are on the rise and threatening the world's safety, Nick Fury calls on Steve to suit up and put an end to HYDRA's evil plans. But even the courageous Captain America isn't ready for HYDRA's new leader, Armin Zola, Cap's old foe resurrected as a powerful robot, and his plan to build a robotic army of Super-Soliders known as The Tomorrow Army to take over the world and destroy Captain America and SHEILD once and for all. Outmatched, Steve must now rely on help from others-namely Black Widow and Hawkeye-to face the thing he doesn't understand: a techno-villain who is twisting modern technology to his own evil purposes. The world's only hope is the courageous Captain America! Marvel chapter books are the perfect next steps for readers who have grown up on our World of Reading titles. These stories are character-driven tales in which much of the action-packed scenes unfold in colorful, fully-illustrated sequences, while the character and story development is conveyed in the clean, simple exposition that's perfect for young readers.

Finding a happy mediumBy: Andrew Kaplan |
Category: General Blogs
Moderation is a commonly used term in the alcoholic beverage industry, but maybe it should be applied to the beverage industry as a whole.
I think so much of the news coverage of the beverage industry today is bursting with extreme language. "This or that is bad for you, cut it out of your diet completely!" "This is great for you, drink nothing but this; replace everything you drink with it!"
Come on now. What ever happened to what we used to call the 'Happy Medium'? Have a little of this, a little of that. It won't kill you.
I was recently interviewing Matt McLean, the CEO and founder of Uncle Matt's Organic juice, and the conversation quickly turned to all the negative publicity the juice category had been receiving lately from the press. Those of you who have been following the category already know that in the eyes of some people, a glass of orange juice is no different than any drink high in sugar. "Sugar = bad," these folks say, and therefore anything that contains it should be avoided like the plague.
I think it's time we moved passed such all-or-nothing declarations. The science just doesn't support it, for one thing. In fact, current science is beginning to observe that medicine is not the exact science we'd all love it to be. The latest research shows that different people, depending on their ancestry (basically their genealogies) are much better at tolerating and digesting certain types of foods and beverages than others. And what's more, they have even developed immunities that those from other gene pools have not. In other words, certain ingredients, yes, including sugar, may be perfectly harmless for whole swaths of the population.
In our conversation, McLean pointed out that his brand's core product, orange juice, yes, has natural sugar, but it is also a "nutrient dense" beverage. "It is not a sugary soda so it breaks down in the body differently," he told me. "And when eaten with a meal it helps the uptake of those nutrients even better."
It got me thinking that, like we recently got it wrong with fats (remember "all fats=bad"?), are we now doing the same thing with sugar? Is the media painting sugar with such a broad brush that we are depriving ourselves of all the nutrition, and pleasure, that comes from downing a cold, refreshing glass of orange juice?
I recently read a story in The NY Times about how sales of digital books have suddenly stalled, while print book sales have started rising again. What does this have to do with beverages, you might ask? Well, print had been written off—pardon the pun—a while ago. But not so fast! It appears some people like to sometimes read a digital book, but they also sometimes like to read on paper. The same may go for any beverage category that may be challenged today—orange juice, macro beers, macro sodas, you name it. Don't believe the negative hype. There's probably a happy medium in there somewhere.

The heart of the ancient Roman empire and capital of modern Italy, Rome is one of the world's great cultural centers, and an abundance of monuments, cathedrals, artistic masterpieces, and more reflect the city's rich ancient, medieval, and Renaissance history. You'll embark Tere Moana in the nearby port city of Civitavecchia and enjoy time to settle into your stateroom before the ship sets sail this evening.
"The Pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago" is a beautiful island in the Tyrrhenian Sea that once was connected by a land bridge to Corsica, birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is better known today as the site of Napoleon's exile after his abdication in 1814. The chief city on the island, Portoferraio, dates to the Etruscan civilization and offers many historic landmarks, as well as beautiful beaches.
Overlooking the Gulf of Poets in the northwestern Italian province of Liguria, Porto Venere was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the nearby Cinque Terre villages, for its combination of scenic beauty and a traditional way of life that dates back 1,000 years. Admire the pastel-colored homes that line the picturesque waterfront, and narrow stairways and cobbled lanes lined with shops that radiate out from the waterfront. Visit the 12th-century Chiesa di San Lorenzo church and the 16th-century Castello Dorio, a fortified Genoese castle with manicured gardens and stunning views. Venture to Byron's Grotto, where Lord Byron swam across the gulf to Lerici to visit his friend and fellow poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, in 1822. Or follow one of several hiking trails that lead out from the town.
Tere Moana's mooring in Livorno provides easy access to Florence, the "Cradle of the Renaissance", where magnificent artwork abounds in museums, palaces, cathedrals, and gardens. Also the capital of Tuscany, Florence is dominated by the massive Duomo, the world's fourth-largest cathedral, whose giant dome was the largest in the world during the 15th century, when it was constructed. While here, admire masterpieces by such legendary artists as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Rubens, Giotto, and so many others.
Located on a peninsula in the Italian Riviera, this pretty, pastel resort and fishing village in the northern Italian region of Liguria is dominated by a 16th-century castle overlooking crystalline green waters filled with marine life.
Ruled by the Grimaldi family since 1297, with only brief interruptions, the Principality of Monaco is the world's second-smallest country (after the Vatican). Sandwiched between mountains and the sea, Monte Carlo is a district of the country and home of the famous Grand Casino. Monte Carlo's steep and winding streets have been featured in numerous films, including Alfred Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief" starring Grace Kelly, who would become Princess Grace of Monaco upon her marriage to Rainier III in 1956. Besides the casino, attractions of this glamorous district include numerous museums, churches, monuments, and gardens. Here, too, The Moana stays overnight, allowing you to experience Monte Carlo at its liveliest: after dark.
Inhabited since prehistoric times, Villefranche today is a charming resort town on France's Côte d'Azur. On your port call here, perhaps you'll stroll the narrow cobbled streets of the romantic Old Town … view the 16th-century citadel … visit the 14th-century Chapelle Saint-Pierre (Saint Peter's Chapel) and Église Saint-Michel (Saint Michael's Church) … or follow the ancient Rue Obscura, a covered walkway near the waterfront. Or simply relax on sandy beaches or at the city's terrace cafés.
In the evening, Tere Moana sets sail for Nice, the "Queen of the Côte d'Azur", where you will overnight on board.
After breakfast this morning, you'll disembark in Nice, renowned for its beautiful views of hilltop villages, Art Deco façades, and a stunning coastline along the blue-green Mediterranean Sea.

Digging Up the Virtual Past: The Archaeology of Ancient Greece and Rome on the Web
Mattison, David, Searcher
Archaeology is truly one of the foundation sciences for our understanding of the past. In his textbook, In the Beginning (9th ed., Longman, 1996, p. 27), Brian Fagan defined archaeology as "the scientific study of past cultures and technologies--whether ancient or recent--by scientific methods and theoretical concepts devised for that purpose." Archaeology, he goes on, is a subdiscipline of anthropology. Prentice Hall has a companion Web site for this rifle and several others by Fagan [http:// www.prenhall.com/fagan/], carrying annotated finks to key Web sites. Other archaeology textbook publishers and educational institutions have similar sites. For example, the companion site to University of Newcastle archaeology lecturer Kevin Greene's book Archaeology: An Introduction (4th ed., 2002) [http://www.staff.ncl. ac.uk/kevin.greene/wintro/home.htm or http://www. staff.nci.ac.uk/kevin.greene/wintro/index.htm] contains more contextual detail on archaeology.
As an archivist and historian, I appreciate the unique contributions archaeologists have made to our knowledge of cultures and civilizations long gone or transformed into those of the world around us today. Never having participated in an archaeological dig, I decided to put on my virtual pith helmet and excavate some of the fabulous treasure maps to archaeological sites, image collections, and reconstructions on the Web relating to the so-called Classical world of ancient Greece and Rome. The field of study known as the Classics also incorporates Graeco-Roman archaeology in order to form as complete a picture as possible of how these societies lived and evolved. Many of the Web sites I examined were in languages other than English, but I've mostly limited myself to sites in English or with an English translation. My survey merely scratches the surface of what's out there, a selection of sites that that I feel will provide you with a door to a rich network of information connecting past millennia with the Third Millennium.
General Web Guides and Search Tools
Although I've confined my coverage to the Graeco-Roman roots of Western civilization within Greece and Italy, the sources from which I've compiled many of these resources include a number of general directories to archaeology.
The Wikipedia entry on Archaeology [http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology] and its Archaeology Portal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Archaeol ogy] will give you a good overview of the topic and provide you with many important links. Archaeology is one of the core fields for which a Wikipedia editorial team strives to serve as an authoritative source in the creation of a complete print or electronic encyclopedia. See the WikiProject Archaeology page for more information [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: WikiProject_Archaeology].
For those who can't stay away from Google, the Google Directory link for archaeology lists over 7,000 resources [http://dir.google.com/Top/Science/A/]. This does not even include much smaller sets of links for more specialized areas of archaeology, such as archaeoastronomy, archaeobotany, and archaeometry.
The two WWW Virtual Library general guides to archaeological resources are Anthropology Resources on the Internet [http://www.anthropologie.net], which began in 1995, and ArchNet [http://archnet.asu.edu], started in 1993 at the University of Connecticut and maintained since 2001 by Arizona State University's Archaeological Research Institute.
The Humbul Humanities Hub [http://www.hum bul.ac.uk] section on archaeology describes over 1,400 online selected resources from around the world and found of potential use by the British higher education system. A chronological subdirectory followed by a keyword search within a specific time period can help you isolate descriptive records pertaining to Greece and Rome.

SALEM, Ore. — An openly lesbian lawmaker could lead a state legislative chamber for the first time if Democrats choose Rep. Tina Kotek as House speaker in Oregon, as expected.
Kotek was running unopposed Thursday for the post. Her selection would be another key political victory for the gay community that has notched successes around the nation.
If Kotek wins the position, openly gay leaders will control the House or Senate in five states — more than ever before, and up from two before last week's election, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund.
Four of those leaders are men.
"For many years, we were building a bench of openly gay officials who could step into those roles, and now we're seeing that around the country," said Denis Dison, a spokesman for the Victory Fund, a national group that helps gay candidates get elected to offices at all levels.
The organization backed 180 candidates this year, and 122 won office, Dison said.
Kotek said she didn't set out to break barriers but is honored to represent the gay community.
"We all look for people out there who look like us," she said. "I have had emails and text messages from people who are very excited."
Kotek has represented a liberal district in the heart of Portland since 2007. She became the No. 2 leader in the Oregon House in 2011 after persuading her Democratic colleagues to oust her predecessor after a legislative session that left many of them frustrated by Republican successes.

Louis Garneau Pro Suit - Women's
Retail Price: $139.95buy now
Our Price: $69.97
Our Price: $69.97
The Louis Garneau Women's Pro Suit is here to remedy the problems found with many tri-specific suits, namely the wet, soggy sensation after T1, poorly executed anatomical fit, and excess irritation and chafing, among others. Since it's designed to seamlessly transition from swim to bike to run stages, you'll reap the benefits of not wasting precious time changing during transitions. Louis Garneau's Delfino fabric provides the foundation for the suit's body. This dimpled mesh structure effectively breathes and wicks moisture for superior comfort through sweaty bike and run stages. It's both hydro and aerodynamic, cutting through the water and air with minimized drag. And not only does Delfino dry quickly, ensuring you're not a sopping mess after T1, but it also stands up to chlorine without damage, should you train in the pool before your next race. Carbon-X Mesh along the rear thighs promotes full range of motion with its high degree of stretch. This fabric uses a substantial dose of Lycra to stabilize and support key muscle groups when you're swimming, riding, and running. The suit's most important asset, the Tri Air chamois, is quick-drying, thanks to an ultra-thin design that soaks up minimal water. This four-way stretch chamois conforms to the contours of your body, helping to alleviate saddle soreness and chafing in the bike stage without inhibiting motion in the swim and run stages.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Editor's Note: The following comes to us from Juan Sebastian Torres, director of Colombian crowdfunding platform La Chèvre. Torres writes in to explain how, he hopes, crowdfunding will change Latin America in the new year and beyond.
According to data in the Crowdfunding Industry Report published in May 2012 and Consumo Colaborativo's directory, South America (excluding Brazil) has fewer than ten crowdfunding platforms, Argentina being home to most of them. Being involved in this emerging industry (I am the director of La Chèvre, a Colombian crowdfunding platform), however, I can say there will be drastic changes in the coming months.
The increasing popularity of crowdfunding has caught the attention of young entrepreneurs who happen to be interested in social, cultural, technological, and creative projects. Just in Colombia, four new crowdfunding platforms will launch in the beginning of 2013.
Seeing that the next year will be a relatively big year for the development of crowdfunding in South America, it seems important to briefly analyze how these countries may benefit from it.
Even though South America has improved greatly economically and technologically, with cities such as Bogotá and Medellín competing – in terms of innovation – with New York and Tel Aviv, there's still much to be done about people's lack of access to new technology. In recent years, government programs have encouraged the use of new technologies and have financially supported the emergence of innovative startups. Despite these initiatives, internet penetration is troublingly low. On top of this, the regions that do have good access to the internet lack the incentives to get more involved with the tools and technologies that the internet provides.
In this regard, crowdfunding platforms seem like a good way to push progress. They encapsulate a cooperative community, alternative funding, productive use of social networks and, most importantly, the encouragement of creative and innovative projects. Clearly, the emergence of crowdfunding platforms will not magically solve the technological gap, since it involves government investment and extensive educational programs. But as more and more projects come from distant cities and towns, they may help to proliferate some practices related to new media and networks.
One of the biggest problems for crowdfunding in South America is online payments. There are a handful of companies operating in this space, but they don't have the same standards as the ones in the U.S. In some cases, they even (unwittingly) inhibit good practices. With crowdfunding platforms set to grow in 2013, we hope two things will happen.
The first is incentivizing the use of online payments, which is something we're still getting used to in South America (despite the guarantees the companies provide). We also hope that crowdfunding will draw attention of financial institutions for better laws and methods of online payments.
To get a sense of the state of online payments in South America, let's look closely at Colombia. For an entrepreneur, there are, essentially, four popular and secure options to manage payments on a website. They work perfectly for a regular e-commerce site. Since Colombian laws charge for each refund, however, they don't work so well for the "all-or-nothing" crowdfunding model. This was one of the reasons Idea.me (the biggest crowdfunding platform in Latin America) added the "keep what you earn" model in addition to the "all-or-nothing" model.
As I mentioned, online payments are also not as common for Colombians as they are for Americans or Europeans. Thus, payments need to be thought of as being in a "transitional" stage. As I see it, the complexity of crowdfunding payments system may help to advance online payments both logistically and legally.
Yes, there are a few technical and cultural disadvantages that make the crowdfunding process a bit harder in Latin America. But that's also the beauty of crowdfunding's potential in the region. It has to overcome some small obstacles and when it does, it can help push our culture into a more productive and cooperative relationship with extended networks. We've seen the region move into this direction already. In the last few years, there's been an urge among entrepreneurs in the region to work collaboratively. Even though the initiatives have been small and have not included the general population, they have worked very well.
I, both as an entrepreneur and a collaborator, have a lot of hope on what crowdfunding platforms – and their derivatives – can bring to South America. It may seem like we're late to the party, but everything must happen at its own pace. Surely, when crowdfunding does explode in the region, it will bring new, innovative and resourceful approaches to the industry.

Dear Juan,
Thanks for this text! I would be very interested to learn about the support culture in your region. Are people trustfull and willing to invest their money in projects published on crowdfunding platforms? I know that your platform is very young, but I'm curious if you are taking any educational or promotional actions to increase awareness and trust in the area of crowdfunding? How do you deal with Intelectual Property rights?
I'm in the process of launching a similar to La Chevre crowdfunding platform in Poland. It took us 18 months to get a permission from the ministry... Here are some of my experiences and thoughts about it: http://lifeanddev.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/my-crowd-is-different-than-yours/
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks for the link to the blog. I would also suggest you to check http://www.mycrowdfundingstudy.com/ (http://www.shareable.net/blog/crowdfundings-future-in-latin-america) and if you want to skype for an exchange of views and opinions I ll be more than happy to.

This summer, artist Ellen Schinderman curated an exhibit in Los Angeles called "Home Is Where the Needle Marks", showcasing fiber art and exploring the home sphere. Working with Lion Brand yarns, Ellen and her cohorts yarn-bombed several areas of LA as part of the Downtown LA Artwalk to draw attention to the fiber arts. Recently, she shared these photos with us:

Plus, the group of knitters and crocheters who helped Ellen create all of the colorful, textural pieces will be taking all of their leftover yarn and making hats and scarves for homeless in their community.

If you follow Lion Brand on Twitter or Facebook, you'll sometimes find behind scenes images from photoshoots, upcoming yarn releases – or even pictures of some of the staff crafting, or at events. Today, I'd like to share with you a few "behind the scenes" images from our offices in the New York City location. We recently invited a few of our favorite craft bloggers to spend a day with us at our Lion Brand offices, and I'd like to share a few of their images that capture some of the creativity and inspiration at Lion Brand.
|Kristy from Glass Posse captured this image of Karen Tanaka, the Creative Director of our Design Department. Karen was sharing some of the Design Department's mood boards and inspirations.
|Haley from The Zen of Making captured an image of these cute stuffed animals, which were featured in past window displays. The Lion can be seen here from the Studio's 1st window display in 2008.

Getting craft supplies organized tends to fall to the bottom of my to do list, "After all," I think, "it'll just get messy again as soon as I make something, why bother?" But sooner or later the time comes to clear up all the yarn, organize the hooks and needles, and stow all fabric, glitter and crafting supplies away. Good organization can help us make beautiful, useful projects; after all, crafting is much easier when you know where to look for supplies, and can tell right away if you're running out of something or need to go out and get a new tool.
Give everything a home: Things can't be put away without a home, but more importantly, homeless tools and supplies are almost always difficult to find when you need them. Tired of retracing your crafting steps to try to remember where your shears or glue gun has gone? Then giving these tools a home could be the solution.
Consider labeling: Lots of folks love handwritten labels or using a label maker, but what if you don't like traditional labels? How about using a small picture of what you're putting inside? Tassels of yarn on decorative bins, or paper samples on the edge of scrap booking boxes tell you exactly what's inside with a visual examples.

From Egypt's Abu Simbel to South Dakota's Mount Rushmore to Tan Swie Hian's Earth Art Museum in China's Quingdao National Forest, mountains have long been shaped to resemble human personages, including pharaohs, presidents, and painters. Mountains and Memoryexplores this practice and traces the history of anthropomorphism-the attribution of human qualities to non-human nature-as expressed in the form of carvings on mountainous rock formations. Anthropomorphism can be understood as either perceptual, wherein natural forms are perceived as bearing human likeness, as is the case with New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain, or conceptual, wherein mountains are shaped sculpturally into human form, exemplified by Mount Rushmore. In both cases, the author argues, memory is enlisted to impose meaning on otherwise inchoate rock formations. In addition to exploring the theme through examples of actual mountains, the author also considers paintings and prints that impose human forms onto mountains and discusses projects that are still in development. In its range and attention, Mountains and Memoryoffers a unique look at mountains as the subject of both art and collective experience.

SD! side of WM22 was epic to say the least. All four titles changing hands was quite surprising, something I can say I didnt even realize when reading the show. Embarrassment, imo. Quite the stacked show for tonight, obviously the ten-man tag, and also the possible appearance of Bret Hart. Should be a goodun.
Shane OMac startin the night! Not shocked that he is in pretty bad shape, he had a war with Randy Orton five days ago. So it looks like weve seen the last of Orton on SD!, as I cant wait to see what he does on Monday Night Raw. Vince is going to be back sooner than we think?? Wonder what kind of Chairman we will see. Smackdown! Election?? Very interesting concept from Shane, as it sounds like youve had this planned out for a while. Very cool way of getting the new GM, with Shane probably staying around SD! until the new GM is known. I have a feeling that Bret Hart may get the nod in the end, no idea why. Speaking of EDGE comes out?? Edge with the World Title is sexiness at its peak, but I have no idea why he is coming out and interrupting McMahon. No surprise that Edge is bitching about being under appreciated. Loved the reference to Angle and I think everyone knew that just having the World Title wouldnt fix the pole in Edges ass, atm. Great back and forth between the champ and the son of the chairman, as Shane has a new sense of confidence, not letting Edge get to him. Edge just keeps rambling until Shane asks him to leave. Edge looks like he is about to BUT THEN SPEARS SHANE~! Truly great way to end the opening segment, as Edge is establishing himself as the best on SD!. Wonder how well he will perform in the main event tonight. Should be an interesting match.
Great way to kick off the in-ring action on SD!, imo, with Finlay and Hardy going at it. Both men, especially Hardy, looked like they were going to win the MITB, but both men came up short, explaining the frustration that they have. Awesome back and forth action, with a terrific blend of styles, and Finlay is able to dominate Hardy and prevent him from hitting the awesome ToF. Finlay looks set to get the win, but Hardy rolls him up for the win!! Great win by Matt, ending the streak of Finlay, as both men looked strong. The frustration from Finlay was expected, as I dont think hell take nicely to losing tonight.
Somewhat strange promo from KK, imo. Not really sure why he is so pissed about Buffer but he is obviously going to be moving into a feud with Matt, something that I will look forward to. Hopefully you make his push slow enough, but a feud with V1 should be awesome, and also elevate both men up the card. Keep having Kennedy OWN, plz.
Very good promo between JBL and the McMahon women, tbh. JBL putting his name in the hat for GM of SD! doesnt surprise me very much. Love the fact that his private locker room was taken away, as he has not had the best year of his career in 2006. JBL possibly leaving? I think that he will stay around and win his next PPV match, the man needs to get back on track, imo.
Albright ok. I am really not familiar with his character, whether it be in OVW or ROH, wherever he made his name. Whos the manager that hes got? He sounds very arrogant, much different than his Gunner Scott character in the WWE. Look forward to seeing what you do with him, as he should win his match tonight.
Very good debut for young Brent. I can see that you have some big things in store for this kid, as he already has a manager and a damn impressive arsenal. Loved him keeping the armbar locked in, tbh. Cant wait to see where he ends up going.
Booker owned by the stagehand, tbh. Guess the McMahons are trying to keep people in line around SD!. Booker as the King is pretty awesome also.
Good way to get the Hooligans another win, as they are far from being out of the tag title picture, imo. Mexicools are respectable but they have been turned into jobbers as of late. MNM and the Hooligans both want the first shot at the champs, interested to see who gets it first.
Punk OWNS but no early Jesus push, plz. Give the man time.
Burchill and Regal are pretty awesome as the tag champs, but I think they will have plenty of challengers. Hopefully they are respectable in their time as champions, because they were very overlooked heading into WM22.
Anytime we get Paul E. and B-Lash in the ring for an interview you know its going to be epic. Never really pictured the feud between Lashley and Taker to go this direction, with Heyman doing a shoot about the big boys of WWE wanting Taker to beat Lashley. Heyman is always good with shoots and I like how he made it seem like he just came into the E to bring Taker down to earth. Makes Taker sound like a real jerk and Heyman made some very controversial comments. Good to see that this feud will be going on for a while and I hope that Lashley beats Taker at least once. Would make the kid a legend, imo. More Heyman promos and Lashley domination plz.
Awesome tag title rematch signed for England. Hooligans to get involved, imo.
Booker T has been getting better and better each week and Id love to see him just snap and go crazy some time soon. Losing to Rey has hurt his lifestyle on SD! and I know that he will try and do something to change that. Getting the win tonight would be a good start and I dont think Booker character change is quite complete. Cant wait until King is put in front of the mans name.
Good final filler before the main event. OJ is pissed off and JBL is doing fine. Main event up next.
Very good dynamic in the main event, as all ten men have something to prove, whether it be the five former champions or the five new champions. Edge and Batista are really the two that the crowd wants to see, but we get some great action from the other eight, especially from Kash and Noble. Batista taking out all of his opponents isnt surprising, seeing how he has just lost the WHC he held for the past year. Complete and total chaos to end the match, with Edge being the only one left unharmed, as he takes down Batista with TWO Spears to get the victory. Beating Batista twice in two shows is an excellent way to kick off Edges title reign. Very good main event, love it when the show ends in anarchy.
Very good show, Legend, just not as good as some of your previous work. Dont know what it was, just didnt get the same great feeling that I got from Raw. Show was centered around Edge and the McMahons, which is always good, but it just seemed like it had less going on then Raw. Still better than 95% of the stuff in this section,

Mar 5 2008Singing and Moving Clown Urinal Makes Me Want To Just Pee On The Wall Instead
So I wake up this morning and what do I find in my inbox? A link to a singing clown urinal in Osaka, Japan. Basically you walk up to the sucker and he starts singing and moving up and down the wall while you try to pee in his mouth. WTF!? What are we teaching the youth these days? This does not lessen my fear of clowns one bit. It was bad enough before I knew the sick bastards liked drinking urine. He won't be singing for long though. Not after somebody decides to sit there and hit him with a #2.
Crazy Singing Clown Urinal Makes Us Go HAHAHAARRGHHSTOPDOINGTHAT! [gizmodo]
Thanks to Shawn and Meredith, who both hates clowns as much as Anticlown Media does, for the tips

Nice c***suckinglips though.
Proof yet again that the Japanese are the most degenerate race on the planet.
To make things worse, it sounds like it gargles as it sings. Gross.
#2 that would make you at least in your 80's, possibly in your 90's! way to go posting on here...my dads 83 and he wont even turn a computer on.
oh, and he fought in WWII.
"Not after somebody decides to sit there and hit him with a #2."
In australia, we call this "borrie worry". It's even better when you turn the nozzle on those hand-driers upwards and......... borrie worry?
Why are there even clowns in this world? Nobody makes a Satan toilet or sends Satan to childrens birthday parties. Clowns creep me out. I vote to send all Shriners and their clowns to Iraq - front lines, no armor.
14 years from now there will be a huge influx in japanese watersports when all guys want to do is piss in girls mouths.
Nah, that can't be Japanese...there's not eight tentacles coming out and raping a young girl in a school uniform.
...probably not the most brilliant thing Japan's come up with -__- I like the cool fishtank w/ turtle/toilet much more...
proving that Japanese people are in fact the coolest in the world.
Doesn't anyone else think it's kind of odd that someone was filming an Asian child peeing?
I finally gave up and pooped in it.
That brings back horrible, horrible memories.<:'(
that is sum crazy sh*t!
wtf is this shit!?!?!?!?!?

Secrets of Success
Going through a quiet time
Monday, January 21, 2013
Good Morning: I have been going to the gym about 3-5 times a week. I have been watching my food but not always tracking. I have been very busy getting ready for my grand daughter who is arriving this week. My DS has finally engaged in the fact that his child will be arriving in a few weeks. I think b/4 he was like a deer in headlights. In some ways he still is over whelmed with a baby coming, but he is a soldier who has been through 2 back surgeries, has a baby on the way - when the doctors thought he would not be able to father a child due to his surgeries.
He is a young father who is afraid if he will be able to hold his baby long b/c of his injuries. I feel this baby will encourage him to do whatever it takes to recover. Army is messing around with him again- assigning him to CQ and making his life miserable. He is taking some leave to be with Adrienne when she comes. He says it is time to take some time from the Army.
I asked him if he regretted going into the Army. He has grown up the hard way. This November he will have been in the Army 6 years. I have to let go when I think of his future b/c so much relies on his back. He says he can not imagine sitting in a classroom for a hour for each class on his schedule.
DD will be going to a reunion of about 10 friends from her university at Disney World. She is excited to get a brake. DH and I did a deep clean to get ready for baby. Mostly baby proofing was the aim. DH was complaining about cleaning. I told him that he is so much stress- I am going to the gym. When I came back I asked him why can't you just do the work without complaining; it is so stressful to me. I just do what needs to get done. Why can't you do any thing without complaining. We have been doing puzzles - 1000 pieces and that is all he wants to do now. I worry about him slowing down. I try to get him motivated to do anything except sitting. He has not been going to the gym but I am making him today b/c he is off. I am not arguing with him but I am concerned he has slowed. He talks about having sex but he is more talk than action. He is not doing well in that area either. I tend not to bring up subject b/c it is not a good experience. Much of his problem is his attitude- he has two channels - old or teenager, He just does not know have to be a good partner at his current age.
I sure would like some input on this subject. I love to talk- experience things but at an adult level. Since he does not travel as much, it has been hard to relate. I have to keep him busy b/c he gets bored and just overeats or over drinks.
Have a good day!!
He has had a physical and medical tests are fine.

My husband retired almost 7 years ago and sometimes he can get to me too, I believe it's normal. He's the intelligent kind and likes to read lots and be on the computer. He does like to cook though. I am the opposite, I am hyper and like to get things done around the house, move all the time. It does take some patience on my part. I went and got a part time job and that seems to be helping.
Congrats on you becoming a new grandmother soon! Now that is a Blessing.
Hugs and Health. Connie

Men do go through the Change as well as women, sounds like he is well into it, but I do know what you mean, love mine much, but he drives me crazy sometimes, the older he gets, the ruder he gets, with everyone, not sure if he thinks he has earned always being right, or what. but he isn't any more right now than he ever was.
glad that baby will be there soon, Enjoy her

**SIGH** sorry that your son is still getting grief from the Army! Wishing him and his GF all the best though as the baby comes! No matter what life's circumstances are, the pending birth of a little one is stressful . . . and it continues!
As for your DH, all I can say is I have already told DH (who turned 61 on the 17th of Jan.) that IF and WHEN he retires, he will need to be a WalMart greeter! LOL -- the message really is, he needs to be busy or he'll drive me looney too!
