Thanks to the great inspiration around me, I finally got my MRE entry out the door.
Being a military brat (Air Force) I grew up with the occasional MRE hanging out in our VW. My brothers and I would poke it and giggle at the thought of a whole meal being contained in the mysterious dark plastic container. When the poor thing puffed itself up we laughed as Mom finally removed it as an emergency ration possibility, while muttering about botulism.
Twenty years later and my youngest brother is finding himself stationed in the Middle East, bringing home the realization that sometimes, MREs face an actuality of being used.
This photography project was in response to a challenge thrown out to make an MRE look enticing and to raise funds for Katrina rebuilding aid.
from the government food folks:
"The work is a metaphor for wringing beauty out of tragedy, finding rays of hope amid grim misfortune, and simply proving that we can do things better than the Bush administration can.
We are planning to put the photographs into a 2007 calendar. Money raised would go to help in the continued aid in rebuilding the region devastated by
hurricane Katrina."

posting gives a new awareness.very nice idea of raising funds other than redcross society.Hope you would have time to my email that I have sent to you.
Hope to get positive response…
Great piece! Now, did you actually try any of this?
Interesting contest. Thanks for posting the link to the Flickr group. After looking over the other entries, I'm liking yours the best.
I linked you over on my site in a forum posting…hope you don't mind:
McAuliflower- Had I heard about this earlier I would have liked to have been involved. I like the "beverage of grape essence"- very inspired, that sold me!
I love this idea – and the cause, of course. This photo is wonderful! Mmmm, I think I'm getting hungry…
The only thing in the world that lasts longer than MREs is Hardtack. He's lucky they aren't serving the leftovers from the Civil War still. I think they ran out when I was in the Navy in 1979. Of course I could be wrong. There might still be a bit hanging around in case of emergency.
[...] all of 2nd platoon, plus TCN's (Third Country Nationals) galore, are hauling up MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) and [...]

Xhemal Kaziu of South Beach might pull up Laffeyette or Spot, a silvery flat-bottomed fish in the croaker family marked with a dark spot on one side. Ftaon Bunardziu of Willowbrook could hook a sea robin, a spiny, formidable-looking creature with pterodactyl-like wings that barks when plopped on the pier.
Many of the catches from Staten Island's waters begged to be cooked. Scaled and cleaned Laffeyette, for instance, can be seasoned with a little salt and pepper and roasted whole for about 20 minutes in an oven set at 350 degrees. Use chopsticks or a small fork to pick off the meat which can be served with ponzu sauce. A sea robin — a catch that seems to show up more often than summer flounder at the fishing pier — has meat in its tail that can be wedged off at a 45 degree angle, then baked for about 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven, like any white fillet: Top it with a few dabs of butter, a splash of white wine and pinches of paprika or garlic salt. While sea robins are often tossed off the pier, the species' meat is similar tasting to Weakfish, a summer fish valued for its mild flavor profile.
"Weakfish are a desirable fish. Some people love it, some people hate it," said Jack Cohen, a professional fisherman who lives in New Springville. He considers it a bland meal. And, like tilapia, it can be likened to a blank pallette, one that relies on sauces or heavy seasonings to conjure up taste.
The best catches, Cohen opines, "are the fish with more of a fish to taste to them which ethnic people prefer and white people dislike." He refers to bluefish or snappers, porgies, butterfish and Summer Dogs, otherwise known as sandsharks.
Feisty sandsharks in warmer months are not as palatable, says Cohen, when some describe their flesh scent as ammonia-like. It's a condition that can be corrected by soaking the fish in milk for about 30 minutes. However, come late fall when Winter Dogs teem in the Raritan, their meat can be turned into fish 'n' chips and belly flaps can be smoked until blonde-colored for Schillerlocken, a traditional German bar snack.
"Summer Dog Fish are considered a nuisance...they are a fish of contention," said Cohen. He explains that the government stopped commercial anglers from harvesting dogfish for a couple of years although recreational types could keep them. Now there is a limited commercial fishery for the dogfish once again.
"As of right now, you ask any commercial or recreational fisherman they'll say they're a nuisance," Cohen laughed, as he described the angler who hooks a dogfish when he's dreaming that a 10-pound fluke (officially called 'summer flounder') is the prize at the end of the line.
If not fishing on a party boat, a saltwater angler must be registered with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. It is free to do so. For more information, go to Dec.ny.gove/outdoor. Size limits and restrictions are posted at the fishing pier, the borough's bait and tackle shops and on the D.E.C. Web site.
The restrictions can be tedious for some. Cohen feels that they are a double-edged sword.
"On the upside, if you're a good fisherman, you can fill the bag limit," he notes.
"Even though we've damaged what we have in the past, what (New York City) has here is truly special," Cohen says about the healthy local fisheries. He jokes, "You can catch fish until your arms fall off."
(Makes 1 to 2 servings)
1 ½ to 2 pound striped or black bass
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to grease the grill
2 sprigs rosemary
3 to 4 slices lemon, about ¼-inch thick
Sea salt
Coarsely ground black peppercorns
Generously grease grill grates. Scale and gut the fish. (You can also ask a local fishmonger to do this although he may charge a nominal fee for the deed.)
Season the fish on each side with salt and pepper; rub with olive oil on both sides. Stuff the cavity with rosemary, lemon, salt and pepper. Roast on the grill for about 8 minutes on each side (about 5 minutes per pound on each side) or until the fish meat produces white opaque flakes at the poke of a fork. Serve whole with the head and tail.
— David Cavagnaro


text: Halloween doesn't always have to be about the scare - you can have some fun, too. A lovely backyard festival could bring a host of fun and comradeship with your friends and family. Bask in the joys of fellowship around the fire when you gather with a warm cup of apple cider and crisp apple strudel with those dearest to you. Decorate the perimeter of your yard with quaint orange balloons pecked with a kiss of white polka dots. Pair them with a solid yellow or red latex balloon to add a splash of autumn color to your yard. Hang them from your yard fencing or tie them with ribbon to railings of your home or backs of your lawn chairs. Place them in the center of your dining tables or picnic benches, too. Tie them down with a classic balloon weight and let a simple decoration go a long way. You'll steal the show when invite your friends and family over for the best friendly gathering that who knows --- just might turn into an event that your guests will beg to become an annual get-together.

Polaroid Confirms Android-Based CSC
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Polaroid has confirmed plans to release an Android-powered mirrorless system camera. Rumours of the upcoming launch started circulating on the Internet four days ago when the picture reprinted above popped up on a Russian social network site. Since then Scott Hardy, President and CEO of Polaroid has confirmed that the product was real and that "additional information and specs will be released" at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Interestingly, the new model exhibits a surprising degree of similarity with the Nikon 1 J1 and J2 cameras and one of their lenses - although the lens release button is in a different location.

Fuji used nikon bodys in the past and Samsung used Pentax so it's not uncommon. It may well be based on a Nikon 1. Been nice if it was micro four thirds mount!
like Christine implied I am amazed that a person able to earn $4706 in 1 month on the computer. did you see this web site http://www.Cloud65.com
I second that: it would be nice if it was a micro four thirds mount!
Even if it is badge-engineering, it's a MUCH better job than the Sonyed Hasselblad. Polaroid is desperately trying to find their own niche and so far they've been making all the right moves.
How much do they cost for. Please help me with the price of the same as wish to buy and try it.

Initially, a cast component requires a pattern or tooling from which a mould and/or cores* can be made. This is often one of the most costly and time-consuming elements in the production process.
Traditional patternmaking necessitates working from 2-D drawings, which, especially for non-analytical shapes cannot totally relay the designer's intent in an unambiguous way. Undefined areas are left to the skill of the patternmaker for blending etc.
By the application of CAD/CAM and CNC machining of patterns/tooling directly from supplied 3-D surface data, any ambiguities are avoided.
At Cti, advanced machining centres have been installed having full capabilities including a full 5-Axis facility. Able to work in any material demanded by clients this facility offers both correctness of shape and dimensionally accurate patterns in the shortest lead-times.

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Connecticut's governor said Sunday that the man suspected of gunning down 26 children and adults at a Newtown elementary school committed suicide just as authorities closed in.
"We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he (suspected gunman Adam Lanza) heard responders coming and apparently at that, decided to take his own life," Gov. Dannel Malloy told ABC's "This Week."
On Saturday, state law enforcement officials said Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday.
"It's believed he was not voluntarily let into the school at all, that he forced his way into the school," Lt. Paul Vance, a spokesman with the Connecticut State Police, said.
Please join us in praying for the families and parents in Connecticut who have lost their children and loved ones. Share your prayers on CBN's on Pray for Newtown, special page.
Vance said they've found evidence which could help them establish a motive but declined to share the specific details.
"Our investigators at the crime scene, the school and secondarily at the secondary crime scene, did produce some very good evidence in this investigation that our investigators will be able to use in hopefully painting the complete picture as to how and more importantly why this occurred," Vance said.
The nightmare started early Friday morning when 20-year-old Lanza reportedly shot his mother, drove her car to Newtown, then killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School, some 60 miles from New York City.
The children killed were aged between 5 and 10 years old. Lanza, who was wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying a semi-automatic assault rifle and two handguns, then turned one of the guns he was carrying on himself.
"Everyone was scared and really big kids in my class I"ve never seen him cry and he was crying," said Ethan Paley, one of the kids who attends Sandy Hook Elementary. "It was really scary for all of us."
Soon after the incident, teachers led the students from the schoolhouse to a nearby firestation.
"We got in a line and had to close our eyes. We all put our hands on other people's shoulders and our teacher held the first person's hand and she led us out," shooting survivor Ella Seave said.
According to local law enforcement, all the victims have now been identified. The school's principal, Dawn Hochsprung, is believed to be among them.
Saturday residents were trying make sense of the evil that had visited their sleepy town.
"It's just like should I be pinched to see if it really is real and just heart wrenching," said one mother. "It feels like a dream and a bad dream. It's a nightmare, feels like a nightmare."
"It's horrible that such evil exists, but that's the nature of the world we live in," another Newtown residen said.
President Barack Obama used his weekly address to express his sadness in the wake of the shooting.
"We grieve for the families of those we lost," he said. "And we keep in our prayers the parents of those who survived because as blessed as they are to have their children home, they know that their child's innocence has been torn away far too early."
The president has ordered all flags in the United States to fly at half-mast.
Newtown is now one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre in which 32 died.
Friday's shooting is the third major gun attack in the United States this year. In July, an attacker killed 12 people at a premiere of a Batman film in Aurora, Colo. In August, six people died at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Then just this week, two people died in a shooting at a shopping mall in Oregon.
Hours after the Newtown massacre, hundreds gathered late Friday evening in a local church that was filled to capacity and spilling outside its doors.
"Parents are really going through a tremendous amount of pain and hurt right now trying to deal with not only their own personal loss, but what happened to their child in the last moments of their life," said Monsignor Robert Weiss of Newtown's St. Rose of Lima Church.

Thiseio is the name of a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece, northwest of the Acropolis, 1.5 km southwest of downtown, and 1 km southwest of city hall; its name derives from the Temple of Hephaestus, also known as Τhiseio, as it was, in earlier times, considered a temple of Theseus.

Amazing clean and cozy apartment with everything you need. great and save area, we really enjoyed the stay and can warmly recommend George as a host ;-))
Laura, Kathi, Line and Peter
This apartment is located in a very nice area, which is fast reachable from historical places of Athens, mainly by taxi (5-10 minutes by car from Acropolis area). The owner of an apartment was very nice: he organized the transportation for both ways, from and to the airport.
The flat was very clean and also had everything necessary for a good stay: equipped kitchen (coffee machine, fridge, kettle, oven, microwave oven and etc.), big balcony with panoramic view of Athens and small cozy table for having an early breakfast or a late dinner outside. Rooms had very comfortable beds and furniture to place all belongs. From one bedroom it was possible to even see the night view of Acropolis. Even though it was necessary to turn ON the water heating to take a shower, water from a tap was still very warm without it, therefore it was never used during the stay. It was a pleasure to spend 5 days in the city of Athens accommodating in George's Flat . I recommend you to spend your time in Athens staying in this apartment.
George was an excellent house manager, replied quickly and in detail for each request. The house is very nice, quite and clean, very bright with a fantastic view on Athens's harbour and more. Everything worked well. Pireaus area is not so comfortable to get beaches and Acropoli (it took about 45/55 minutes) but you can easily get buses and the metro stop is about 10' far away.
To make it simple: the house was a WRECK (broken chairs, 3 chairs for a house for 10, 1 bathroom instead of 2, dirty floors, dirty stuff in the cupboards, dirty plastic bottles near the pool, ... ). We called George to complain and to tell him that we would not stay in the house (we were with children), and managed to talk to him.
BUT, that was the only contact that we had: he did not return our following calls to discuss refund. We left him several messages but he did bot care.
In the end we did not stay in the house.
George is a great host, his apartment is very pleasant and robust. If you are looking to stay in that area, then it is the best place to stay. George was very attentive to my needs and made everything possible to accommodate my desires.
Lovely apartment - couple of broken items which I am sure will have been dealt with by George's efficient team by the next stay. The location is too far from the metro for a comfortable walk in 37+ heat! Easy walk beside the block through a wee park to the main road and immediate access to taxis. We paid around €6 to the centre of Athens and with 3 of us that was fine. The bus stops there too. Shame the satellite dish blocks the view of the Acropolis from the balcony - lovely view from the bedroom window! We sat out a couple of times but it was so hot we were thankful for the air conditioning inside. All in all a good flat in a quiet location. Transfers were easy to arrange with George's drivers and I would recommend the apartment as a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to stay in the city centre which can be noisy and very busy.
I would definately recommed the Apartment to everyone. It is fully renovated and modern decorated. George was a perfect Host and always very helpful.
The location is unbeatable for sure. Great Areas like Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki, Kolonaki are all within walking distance, from 1 minute away to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Athens in general is allways worth it to go there.
Thanks George. See you next time in Athens.
The apartment Georges offers is excellent. The interior is very nice and the 3 bethrooms are specious. The balcony gives you a great view over Athens and the harbour and so is a nice spot to relaxe after a long day of sight seeing.
The metro station Ag. Dimitrios is only a 15 minutes walk, and from there it is an easy ride to Athens centre. Supermarkets are just a 5 minutes walk away to do some shopping.
George gave a very good support on questions / demands from our side.
Best regards Paul de Jonge
The location is unbeatable - a quiet side street, but seconds from the Acropolis site, museum and the adjoining metro, Easy walks to all the major sites. The flat is nice - a decent size, good bathroom, clean, well appointed. Its a raised ground floor flat, so the views either way aren't much, but you only have to turn the corner for views of Hadrian's Temple or the Acropolis.
Although this property is not the most convenient to the center of Athens, if you have business in the northern suburbs, as we did, it is the perfect spot. The neighborhood is clean, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance, including a big A/B. There is a big park with a well maintained fenced playground nearby as well, which my daughter enjoyed. The apartment itself is very large and thoughtfully stocked, with a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen. While we had trouble with one of the toilets, everything else was fine. Beds were extremely comfortable, and it was quiet at night. The building felt secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We asked for cleaning and a friendly woman called Ellie came and did a thorough job for not much money. Management was responsive to requests. The metro is a 15 minute walk away, though it is down some steep streets and they are harder to walk on the way back! Once there it is very quick into the center.

'Telling Me Lies': The Constitutionality of Regulating False Statements of Fact
Mark Tushnet
Harvard Law School
January 10, 2011
Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 11-02
Using recent decisions dealing with the constitutionality of the Stolen Valor Act as its starting point, this Essay examines the First Amendment questions raised by statutes prohibiting lies as such, that is, outside the context of fraud and defamation. It evaluates the constitutionality of statutes imposing strict or negligence liability for lying, concluding that the First Amendment does not bar legislatures from adopting such statutes if the statutes are carefully drawn. It then assesses arguments that deliberate falsehoods can be prohibited because they have no social value, concluding that that judgment, while somewhat overbroad, is correct. In reaching that conclusion the Essay offers an interpretation of United States v. Stevens, the recently decided "animal snuff video" case, which some have thought stands as an obstacle to statutes prohibiting lies as such. The Essay also deals with false statements made by those who do not believe the statements to be false, observing that many such statements are "ideologically inflected" in ways that make is unwise, and probably unconstitutional, to regulate their dissemination. A final section briefly discusses statutes prohibiting false statements in political campaigns.

Tourism and economic development leaders in Delaware and New Jersey have announced the formation of a bi-state coalition to jointly promote cultural, historical and environmental assets that are serviced by the Three Forts Ferry operation.
The Three Forts Ferry, operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), connects Delaware City, Delaware, Fort Delaware on the Delaware River and Fort Mott in Pennsville.
The coalition's intent is to increase public awareness of the many unique features this region has to offer and to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy them.
"Salem County's tourism initiative is in its second year and we have seen tremendous results in marketing our county's assets," said Freeholder Beth Timberman, chair of the Transportation, Tourism, and Agriculture Committee. "We saw that, with a minimum investment, we were able to increase attendance to Fort Mott by 20,000 visitors. The Three Forts Ferry provides a tourism link between both sides of the Delaware. Through joint marketing partnerships, we believe that we can leverage the coalition's limited financial resources to increase usage of the ferry, which will bring more tourism revenue to both sides of the Delaware River."
Delaware City Mayor John W. Martin said his city is emerging as a destination for both heritage and ecotourism and their location on the Delaware River is a key asset.
"In linking Delaware City with Fort Delaware and Salem County, New Jersey, the Three Forts Ferry creates a unique and exciting experience for visitors that spans two centuries and two states," he said. "We believe that this Delaware River tourism initiative will be an important contributor to economic development on both sides of the river."
Coalition members include representatives from Fort Mott, Fort Delaware, Fort DuPont, DRBA, Salem County, Pennsville Economic Development Association, the City of Delaware City, Main Street Delaware City, Delaware Military Heritage & Education Foundation, National Park Service, Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Delaware Tourism Office.
"The DRBA is pleased to participate in this new partnership initiative," said DRBA Commissioner Ceil Smith. "This coordinated marketing effort by a united, bi-state coalition will be more viable and effective in promoting the region. As a resident of Salem County, I know the region has a lot to offer and I am excited about this opportunity to encourage more people to visit and enjoy our great attractions."
The coalition is currently developing a joint marketing initiative involving events taking place on July 17 and 18, and in the month of October. Utilizing the unique character of the Three Forts Ferry, the coalition is working to inform families and visitors of the fun available on both sides of the river.
The "Weekend on the Delaware" event takes place on July 17 and 18 and features Coast Defenses Living History Weekend at Fort Mott State Park, Fort Delaware State Park tours, and the Delaware City Day Festival.
"Fort Mott's staff and volunteers will be demonstrating what life was like at the fort during the years it was in operation," said Fort Mott Superintendent Vince Bonica. "Visitors can see the searchlight in action, enjoy expansive views of the river from the Fire Control Tower and see an early working telephone system that would have served the fort when it was in operation as a military installation."
On July 17, a spectacular fireworks show caps off Delaware City Day with great viewing from both sides of the river at Fort Mott or Delaware City. More information on these events will be available at the Three Forts Ferry website, www.threeforts.com and www.delawarecityday.com.
"The connection between these three military heritage sites and their link via the Delaware River provides rich possibilities for further development of tourism in Delaware City and Salem County," said Stephanie Przybylek, executive director of the Delaware Military Heritage & Education Foundation at Fort DuPont. "Creating new tourism opportunities could certainly attract military history enthusiasts, but also people who enjoy spending time in the natural environment and visiting waterfront locations."
History lovers can enjoy an exciting day in the 19th century when they take round-trip boat excursions to these military sites on the Delaware River. From April through October, visitors to Fort Delaware experience authentic civilian and military Civil War reenactments, "lantern tours" of the fort at night and demonstrations of how people lived in the 1800s. Programs at Fort DuPont and Fort Mott complement the stories told at Fort Delaware. School groups are encouraged to visit this fascinating glimpse into the area's history.

North Syracuse, NY - The North Syracuse Village Democrats have unanimously endorsed Mayor Diane Browning in the upcoming special mayoral election.
The Democrats also have endorsed the village's newly appointed trustee, Fred Fergerson, as their candidate for trustee at a recent caucus.
Browning has been the village's mayor since Feb. 1 when board members appointed her to the position.
Browning appointed Alfred E. "Fred" Fergerson, 61, of 215 S. Main St., North Syracuse, to fill her vacant trustee seat at the Feb. 11 board meeting. Fergerson, a licensed funeral director, president and owner of Fergerson Funeral Home in North Syracuse, has said he is a registered independent with no political experience.
Browning, 70, of Shaver Avenue in North Syracuse, has served on the village board since July 2003. She also was North Syracuse's senior advocate for five years.
Browning, the village's deputy mayor since 2004, took over as the village's acting mayor Jan. 20, the day after John Heindorf unexpectedly announced he would step down as mayor.
Heindorf, who served as mayor for the last 6 1/2 years, has said he would have lost more than $7,000 a year from his pension if he was still mayor after he retired from his 39-year career at CSX. Heindorf's last day as a railroad inspector was Jan. 31.
"In endorsing Mayor Browning for the June election, Democrats applauded her efforts in bringing stability to the village after Heindorf's resignation and for her strong leadership throughout a very difficult budget process, during which the future of the county sales tax remains uncertain," according to a news release from Leon Ilnitzki, of the North Syracuse Democrats.
The village's mayor currently earns $17,749 annually, however the salary will be cut by 3 percent. Whoever is elected mayor will receive $17,232 annually, or $540 less in the coming budget year.
So far, no one else has announced plans to run against Browning for the one-year mayoral seat up for election this spring.
The special election for both one-year trustee and mayoral seats is scheduled for June 15.

People come to Mexico's mountainous southern state of Oaxaca for many reasons: the architecture, the culture, the food, and often the handicrafts. Oaxaca has a long tradition of creating beautiful ceramics and pottery, as visitors will surely notice once they arrive. Recently, archaeologists have speculated that these Zapotec ceramic traditions date back even farther than they had originally thought, and yet this art form still thrives in the region.
The capital's exquisite Spanish Colonial architecture is enthralling, though the ruins of the ancient Zapotec metropolis of Monte Alban, just visible in the hills above, make the Spaniards' best efforts at city planning seem almost primitive.
Pilgrims possessed of good taste come to the "Land of Seven Moles" for the cuisine. The food is considered among the finest in the world, and many travelers are tempted to visit based on the recommendations of celebrity chefs like Rick Bayless and Anthony Bourdain.
Oaxaca is also the most indigenous region in Mexico and is home to the first modern-native head of state: President Benito Juarez. There are around 17 different languages in Oaxaca, and it hosts several fantastic pre-Columbian festivals, such as July's fabulous Guelaguetza.
This region is also one of Mexico's best developed circuits for indigenous tourism in the Pueblos Mancomunados, and its wonderful handicrafts are unequaled anywhere in the Americas. According to local guides and the beautifully illustrated table book, "Mexican Folk Art: From Oaxacan Artist Families" by Arden Aibel Rothstein, these handicrafts hail from several different traditions. A word of caution: not all of these traditions are as ancient or authentically Zapotec as certain guides might have you believe.
For example, Oaxaca's most recognizable crafts, called alebrijes (fanciful and brightly colored balsa-wood animals), were first conceived in the 1930s by artist Pedro Linares. Though he is of native descent, Linares' fantastic pieces would have been completely unfamiliar to the original residents of Monte Alban. Other crafts, like the famed tapetes (woven wool rugs of Teotitlan and Santa Ana del Valle), are a blend of Spanish and native traditions; weaving New World techniques and aesthetics into Old World looms and wool brought to the region in the 1560s.
And then there is Oaxaca's pottery. In pre-Columbian times it was considered so beautiful that people went to quite a bit of trouble to ship these pieces all throughout the region. Although these ceramics have been made in Atzompa since at least 500 BC, archaeologists speculate that large-scale pottery production didn't begin until around 700 AD. Since 2009, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has been excavating the ruins of old Atzompa, a surprisingly impressive sprawl that includes Oaxaca's largest ball court. Last month the oldest, production-sized, Zapotec pottery kiln ever discovered was uncovered right here in Atzompa, dating back more than 1300 years.
Today, from the gleaming black pottery of San Bartolo Coyotepec to the whimsical and figurative work of the famous Aguilar Sisters in Ocotlan de Morelos, the Oaxaca Valley's oldest art form continues to command international respect, as art dealers send Oaxaca's finest pottery all over the world. You can buy a wide range of ceramics online, or in any of several Oaxaca City markets, but the best place to go for great deals and a great selection is Santa Maria de Atzompa.
When the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, Atzompa was already a ceramics center and supplied products throughout Mesoamerica. By the 1700s, Atzompa's gorgeous emerald green pottery was being shipped to Europe and what would become the United States (note that the lead-based tints used until the 1960s have been replaced by safe, modern glazes). Many travelers look forward to visiting the excellent and enormous Atzompa market when they visit. A special tip: you may want to try wandering around town to see if local craftspeople will invite you in to watch them work (but should remember that a purchase or tip is always appreciated).

"There are 7 billion people on the planet, making it fairly likely that someone, somewhere looks exactly like you! Is there a science behind Doppelgangers? Laci is here to discuss what happens in the brain when we see someone that looks identical to you." – YT
Yay! I love talking about doppelgangers. Why?
Well, my husband and I moved to where we are living now about three years ago. This town is… well… weird.
Amongst many other things, we seem to have found a town of doppelgangers! This is not 'out of the side of my vision stuff'.
We have enjoyed finding the doppelgangers of people we know in this town at least a dozen times.
Mental illness? I'm not so sure…

SINCE the first reported permanent anastomosis of a blood vessel by Eck,1 many efforts have been directed toward the discovery of improved technics for the union of blood vessels. The contributions of Jassinowsky,2 Dörfler,3 Briau and Jaboulay4 and Watts5 were important steps in the development of successful methods of suture. These were culminated by the painstaking work of Carrel and Guthrie6 in the years 1905 to 1912. The technic which they evolved has been highly successful in experienced hands and remains the basis of present methods.
However, during the period in which suture technics were developing, the search for simpler and more rapid methods continued along other lines. As early as 1897 Nitze7 advocated the use of an ivory ring. Through this ring a vessel was threaded, and after the edge was everted, the vessel and the ring were passed into the open

A new tuberculosis vaccine boosts protectiveness of the current bacille-Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, which becomes less effective over time, suggest preclinical findings from scientists at the Infectious Disease Research Institute in Seattle and Colorado State University in Fort Collins (Bertholet S et al. Sci Transl Med. 2010;2[53]:53ra74).
The new vaccine consists of a single recombinant fusion protein produced from 4 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigens from Mtb protein families associated with virulence or latency.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Western Michigan University has promoted the associate dean of its Lee Honors College to the top spot.
Carla Koretsky, who is also a professor of geosciences, has been named the new dean, effective July 1, WMU announced May 14.
Koretsky has served as associate dean of the honors college since 2012. She is replacing Nicholas Andreadis, who will retire from WMU at the end of this academic year.
"During her time as associate dean, Dr. Koretsky has shown leadership and developed a real rapport with the students who are part of our honors college," said Timothy Greene, WMU provost and vice president for academic affairs. "She has really shown herself ideally suited to the role of dean, and her interactions with the search committee and during the public presentations reinforced the reputation she has established."
Koretsky, who came to WMU in 2000, has been awarded more than $1.1 million in grants from agencies
such as the National Science Foundation, the U. S. Department of Energy and
the American Chemical Society. She also was the recipient of a prestigious NSF CAREER
In 2007, she received the university's Emerging Scholar Award. Koretsky was named associate chair of the geosciences department in 2006, helped to establish a
new interdisciplinary geochemistry major and served as the geosciences graduate
advisor from 2004 to 2012, WMU said.
Koretsky, who earned her master's and doctorate from John Hopkins University, came to WMU after
a three-year stint as a postdoctoral scientist and subsequently a research
scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Before that, she served as
a lecturer in geography and geology at the University of North
Carolina in Charlotte, and as a graduate research assistant at Johns Hopkins.

Because international study is transformative and provides lifelong insight into the world in which we live, third-year students will take two courses in common (COR 310 and COR 320), and will also take two courses in our Local Contexts, Global Connections sequence.
Students who choose to spend a semester at a Champlain Abroad campus take two place-based cultural courses in addition to COR 310 and COR 320. Students who choose to study abroad through a third-party program choose from a pre-approved list of institutions that have place-based cultural courses that will substitute for the two-course sequence. They also take COR 310 and COR 320.

The Springfield Cardinals and Sportservice food provider will continue taking applications today. The fair is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the University Plaza Hotel. The team is trying to fill about 300 part-time positions.
The Springfield Cardinals are expected to mail letters to season-ticket holders on Monday. The letters will detail seat locations. Actual tickets will be mailed in March. Single-game tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Feb. 26.
But Jeff Coluccio doesn't have much experience, let alone a foot in the front gate. That's why he strolled into the Springfield Cardinals' job fair Friday at the University Plaza Hotel, filled out an application and took a seat in a tucked-away corner of a lobby.
All just to become an usher this summer at Hammons Field.
"Maybe I'm overdressed. I'm not sure," Coluccio said. "But if I get this job, I'm going to take it and capitalize on it."
He has much competition. Hundreds of others also turned out Friday with hopes of getting one of roughly 300 part-time positions with the Cardinals and their food service provider, Sportservice.
The job fair resumes at 9 this morning and runs until 4 p.m., and comes at a busy time for the Springfield front office. The club is expected to mail letters to season-ticket holders on Monday detailing their seat locations and will follow by announcing its play-by-play radio announcer. The Cardinals also are in the process of moving their offices to the clubhouse area on the east side of Hammons Field as construction crews expand what will be the souvenir store near the front gates.
In a couple of weeks, the Cardinals hope to have made final decisions on their part-time jobs, too. Not that it will be an easy task. By 10:30 a.m. Friday, a north wing of the hotel began to fill as hopefuls sought jobs as ushers, ticket takers, suite servers and numerous other roles.
"Just looking around, we have some great candidates here," Springfield Cardinals vice president and general manager Matt Gifford said. "No. 1, what I'm looking for is someone who is friendly. Of course, that is all of Springfield. But we want (fans) to feel comfortable."
The job fair drew from all ages.
There was 72-year-old Jack Buckley, a longtime Springfield resident who years ago oversaw a Little League baseball program in Des Moines, Iowa. He loves baseball, especially the St. Louis Cardinals. Even better, he's retired.
"It's a good way to see the ballgames," Buckley said. "I've always been involved in baseball, and this is a chance to work away from the house."
In attendance, too, was Sharmel Wallace, a 20-something recent transplant from Spokane, Wash. She said she is a licensed cosmetologist but would like to become part of the Springfield Cardinals as a ticket taker.
"I really want to do this," Wallace said. "I'll get to see everybody who comes through the gates and meet people."
Then there was Coluccio, a 21-year-old studying communications courses at Ozarks Technical Community College. With application in hand, he waited for his name to be called.
As Coluccio saw it, the job fair just might be that start he so craves, and his dream doesn't seem so far-fetched. Professional baseball is chock full of radio announcers and front-office personnel who either swept away popcorn and spilled drinks after games or ushered fans to their seats. In fact, Coluccio's potential boss, Gifford, got his start in the Cardinals organization by working for $5 as a telemarketer and climbed into their corporate sales offices.
"I love minor-league baseball," Coluccio said. "My dad played in the minors with the Mets in the '70s. Since I wasn't around to see him do that, I'd like to see how it works."
And when Coluccio spotted a newspaper advertisement about the job fair, he figured this might be his chance. He scheduled time out of his Friday to apply.
"I feel like I have to," Coluccio said. "I feel like my past work history doesn't validate my position (to be the radio guy). It's the sport I love the most, and it'd be spectacular."

Day 1
Depart on your flight to Naples. On arrival a coach will take us to Sorrento, a lovely base for our holiday (journey is approximately one hour, 15 minutes). You have a choice of carefully selected hotels. They are all well managed and they are a very good quality within their category. All have good restaurants where we take breakfast and dinner.
Day 2
Today we have a rather lazy day commencing with a short walking tour of Sorrento. The Romans were aware of Sorrento's attributes and the area is dotted with the remains of their opulent villas. During the 18th century it became part of the Grand Tour for Europe's aristocracy with classic hotels being built around the old cliff-top town. Today it is spared the excesses of modern development.
Day 3
Today, we take the drive north around the bay to the cosmopolitan city of Naples where we visit the Archaeological Museum which is one of the finest of its kind. When the excavations commenced in nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum, the best of the finds were brought here and displayed to an eager public. There is a very extensive display of remarkably preserved mosaics giving a superb insight into the way of life and even sense of humour of the ordinary Roman. Other sections include murals, figures, fine pottery, ropes and even preserved food. One of the central displays is of some of the largest classical sculpture ever found and the museum as a whole complements your visit to Pompeii admirably.
We all know the story of Pompeii, however, it is more than a series of ruins: the state of preservation is astonishing and even if you are not interested in history you cannot fail to be moved by the scale of the city, the construction of which appears to put our modern structures to shame, especially when you consider machines were unavailable. Much of our knowledge about the way of life of the ordinary Romans, their habits, social structure, class systems and domestic arrangements has come from here. Some of the baths are virtually complete as are various murals and mosaics, with some buildings having graffiti describing political events, romantic entanglements and gossip of the time! You can even see the traffic calming measures, how the one-way system operated and appreciate the very high standard of living evident in Roman Pompeii. The atmosphere is eerie, as preserved for all time are the pained facial expressions of the victims of Vesuvius. We will have a guided tour of this fascinating city, before returning to our hotel.
Day 4
Today you have a free day in Sorrento to spend as you wish. You could take a boat trip, shop in the high class boutiques, have a lazy lunch or simply catch up on some reading – the choice is yours.
Day 5
Capri is renowned the world over for its outstanding natural beauty and today we take the short boat ride to the island. It has long been the most sought-after part of the Bay of Naples: not only attracting three Roman emperors, but also writers such as D.H. Lawrence and George Bernard Shaw who sought inspiration here. Famous names such as Gracie Fields and Graham Greene, amongst many others, have made it their home. It is easy to see why it is so adored: as we approach the island you can see small fishing boats rising and falling with the gentle waves, with pretty shops and restaurants lining the busy quayside. The picturesque main town is perched on the hill looking down on the quaint harbour below. You may wish to visit the famous Blue Grotto – the large cavern which can only be reached by boat and by a freak of nature is bathed in incandescent blue light, hence its name. Yes, Capri really does deserve its reputation as a Garden of Eden. We then take the boat to the mainland and return to our hotel.
Day 6
This morning, you will have the chance to explore the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Bizarrely enough, the bottom of the volcano is now populated again with the lower slopes producing some of the finest wine in the area! The coach will take us most of the way up, giving panoramic views of the whole bay and the almost lunar landscape caused by the last eruption. You will then have the opportunity to climb to the summit and peer into the crater, at a height of approximately 1200m above sea level. We return to the hotel early afternoon, providing you with free time for the rest of the day.
Day 7
The Amalfi coastline is Europe's most beautiful. Today we explore the coast as it winds around towering cliffs, overlooking the beautiful blue sea below. We arrive above the exclusive resort of Positano clinging pyramid-like to the cliff-face. Next it's Amalfi, a picturesque village in a gorgeous setting. Just inland is the stunning village of Ravello, with its unrivalled location perched like an eagle's nest on a shelf above Amalfi.
Day 8
Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK.

The Slave Trade's Impact on Africa
Volumes have been written about the cruelty of slavery, the economic impact of slavery on the U.S. economy and the lasting effects of slavery on African Americans. Now comes Harvard University economist Nathan Nunn with this argument: "The African countries that are the poorest today are the ones from which the most slaves were taken."
Writing in the current issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Nunn describes what he says is "the first empirical examination of the Africa's slave trades in shaping subsequent economic development." He painstakingly constructs – from shipping records and other all sorts of other documents — measures of the number of slaves exported from each African country between 1400 and 1900. From 54 different samples of the transatlantic slave trade, he tracks 80,656 slaves from 229 distinct ethnic identities. He also has data on 21,048 slaves shipped across the Indian Ocean, 5,385 slaves who were moved across the Saharan trade and 67 slaves (with 32 different ethnicities) who crossed the Red Sea.
Nunn cautions that the data doesn't prove that the slave trade caused today's economic disappointments in Africa; it could be that slaves were drawn from the most unfortunate countries in the first place. But he argues that, in fact, the evidence shows that slaves tended to come from the most developed – not the least developed – parts of Africa. "The data are consistent with historic accounts suggesting that the slave traders impeded the formation of broader ethnic groups, leading to ethnic fractionalization, and that the slave trades resulted in a weakening and underdevelopment of political structures," Nunn concludes. – David Wessel

Double standard?
January 21, 2014
I see our liberal writer doesn't like it when someone takes the "Fifth". I'm trying to recall what he said when the IRS lady gave her statement, then dove under the "Fifth"....
Oh what the just blame Bush.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
..or using his Presidential powers to order that people do not respond to questioning by congress
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
But the Right doesn't whine about being innocent and then take the Fifth, i.e. Lois Lerner. But the proven path for the Left is to have the President and the A.G. continually block investigations, prevent witnesses from testifying, and move people and give them different I.D.'s. Also the Minority representative on the investigation can say there been no wrong-doing. Or the Dems could have an Obama donor investigate for them, not interview the victims, and pronounce the investigation closed. Or they can blame George Bush because he did it too, which makes it OK.

Yes there is a double standard. The right has no problem taking the 'Fifth' when they are being investigated.

The advantages and disadvantages of newspaper advertising are clear. Let's face facts; print media is on its way out. Across the country, many newspapers such as Denver's Rocky Mountain News have been eliminated due to lack of readership. Having more than one major newspaper simply isn't cost effective in most metro areas. Modern day Americans simply haven't the time or don't make the time to read the newspaper. They get their news from television, radio or the internet. Nevertheless, some advantages to newspaper advertising remain.
The cost of placing a typical ad in the classified section of the newspaper is minimal. Your ad will be categorized according to its content for easy reference. In a large metro area, this can be a disadvantage as well. Your ad may get lost in the shuffle unless you make it stand out. The use of color and bold print considerably increase the effectiveness of the ad unfortunately, the cost of placing a large full page color ad can be quite expensive. A long term commitment gets you the best price. What if this is a onetime ad? Are there any other advantages to newspaper advertising?
Newspaper advertising allows the business owner to choose from a wide variety of options. There are classified ads, full page ads, color ads, black and white ads, different types of print and more. Johnny's Old Time Diner can opt for a print only ad. Johnny may also choose an ad with pictures and a menu. This makes it simple to place ads based on your advertising budget. You can also make changes to the ad on a daily basis. Newspaper ads allow businesses to effectively and quickly promote last minute sales. Readers can clip coupons with ease. On the other hand, what are you really getting for your money? Will your ad reach enough people to be worth the cost?
Visibility can be one of the advantages of newspaper advertising. As mentioned above, your classified ad will be categorized. Larger ads are placed next to related news. This makes them easy to find. On the other hand, readership is down for most forms of print media. With less people reading the newspaper, advertising is not as visible as it once was. In order to make your newspaper advertising successful, you must often compete against those with larger advertising budgets. This is a definite disadvantage to newspaper advertising. What about advertising in small towns? Is this a more effective strategy?
Advertising in small town newspapers may be advantageous for local businesses. There are fewer ads placed in small town papers. This makes individual ads more visible. It's also less likely that additional advertising techniques such as bold print and multiple colors will be needed. On the other hand, one of the disadvantages to small town newspaper advertising is that there are fewer people to read your ad. Not only that, but technology is rapidly overtaking small towns. Don't be so sure that business across the street isn't internet savvy. Chances are the more successful small town businesses already use other Medias for their advertising. This could leave your business out in the cold.
The newspaper your ad is in will be read only once, and then tossed in the recycling pile. This can be a strong disadvantage to newspaper advertising. The average time spent reading the newspaper is about 10 to 20 minutes. What are the odds someone will see the ad you have placed during this time period? How many people actually read the newspaper anymore? What are the advantages of placing newspaper advertising that few people ever read? Isn't it better to spend a little more money on advertising and make a lot more profit? Newspaper advertising is a choice that must be carefully considered. For the right business, and the right type of advertising campaign, newspaper advertising can be beneficial. But print media is on the way out, so weigh your options carefully.

April 2013 Holidays, Observances, and Awareness Dates: Plan Your Promotions!
April showers bring May flowers.
But April also brings plenty of opportunities for your business or organization to throw one awesome promotion. As great as March is, springtime doesn't really start until April. And that means that it's time to start thinking about your outdoor events this year.
There are plenty of events that happen in spring: picnics, dances, weddings, and plenty of golf outings. Now that it's warm out, many companies will be bringing their clients and employees out to the links to play.
You can get the golfers in your life ready for the season by passing out golf items on Golfer's Day. Golf tees, golf balls, and golf towels will all be used and appreciated by your employees or customers. Heck, in the spirit of Earth Day this month, why not kick it up a notch and hand out some custom Wilson Eco Core Golf Balls?
Let's see what else is happening this month:
As I mentioned earlier, Earth Day falls during April. This means that if you've been toying with the idea of using an eco-friendly promotional product, this is the month! Whether you switch out your regular click pen for one made of corn, or give your clients some reusable tote bags to cut down on single use plastic bags, there are plenty of options. No ideas? Any brand can hand out little planters with a tagline like "Grow your business with us!"
Earth Day generally accompanied with lots of outdoor activities. So why not go all-out and celebrate National Volunteer Month by doing something to help the Earth? You can partner with a local charity or group to sponsor a clean-up or tree-planting day in your town. Your volunteers would love a custom t-shirt or reusable tote bag as thank you gifts.
If you're a charity that normally relies on volunteers, this is the perfect month to thank them for everything that they do. If the budget allows you can customize and distribute some caps or blankets, with your brand's logo, pass out gift cards, or give them a handsome travel mug. Low on funds? Then write your volunteers a hand-written letter of thanks.
Make sure that you visit your local library during National Library Week! At the very least, go and follow their social media accounts. The library is certainly more than just books and study rooms!
April is also Stress Awareness Month. Healthcare brands can pass out any kind of stress ball to encourage people to mind their stress and pair it with pamphlets for yoga, money management, or time management classes. If nothing else, picking a whimsical stress reliever will certainly give people something to smile at on their desk.
Did any of the promotional products on our calendar strike your fancy? You can find them our website right here: Twilight Tracer SuperNova Glowing Golf Ball, Whoopee Cushion (6″), and Round Stress Reliever.
As always, any of our Quality Logo Products knowledgeable representatives would be happy to help you plan your April promotions. We'd love to talk to you! Give us a call (866-312-5646), email us (email@example.com), use our live chat, or just leave us a comment below.
Do you have any promotions planned for April? Planning to celebrate any of the holidays listed? Have any pranks planned for April Fool's Day?

For the Vikings, it was two for the price of one.
St. Joseph by-the-Sea boys' volleyball squad clinched first place and home court advantage throughout the playoffs with a 3-1 CHSAA road victory over St. Edmund's Monday.
The Vikings (12-2) ended their season with 12 consecutive victories after dropping their first two matches.
Sea lost the first set 25-20, but made adjustments and took the next three sets (25-18, 28-26, 25-19) to win the match.
St. Edmund's started the first set on a 6-0 run. "Our defense started off slow," coach Brian Duffy said on the early deficit. "We made adjustments and got going."
The Vikings would make it close, down later in the set 24-14, and bouncing back to make it 24-20, but were finally taken.
Twenty-five points were not enough to decide the third set, and the two teams battled in extras. St. Edmund's scored the first point before Sea responded with three to take the set. Thomas Antonucci had six blocks, one of which was key to the Vikings' third set victory.
Nick Dantuono turned in a dominant performance with 16 kills. Anthony Vigilante logged eight kills and Joe Scanni had 23 assists.
Duffy was happy about his team's win and the home advantage they'll have for the playoffs. The Vikings are 7-1 this season at home.
"We're going in 0-0, but we have to get back in the gym and start working."
The playoffs kick off Friday at 4:30 at Sea. The Vikings' opponent is to be announced.
