Things to do in Milwaukee this week
Tiptoeing through
The tulips have arrived! Some of the more winter-burned among us might want to run, rather than tiptoe, through them laughing hysterically.

Patient Comments: Encephalopathy - Type of Encephalopathy
Question:From what type of encephalopathy did you suffer?
Comment from: Dontgiveup, 75 or over Male (Caregiver) Published: December 11
My father passed away from hepatic encephalopathy after years of chronic alcoholism. He couldn't stop drinking, but he fought the mental deterioration until his last week of life. He didn't live long after the diagnosis (at 81 years of age), but my family worked hard to try to keep him mentally and emotionally engaged. Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and word find puzzles offered him some brain exercise that calmed him. As he tried to hold onto his thoughts and memories, exercising his brain helped greatly.
Comment from: Fred, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: June 04
I have been diagnosed with migraine encephalopathy, a neurological mitochondrial in nature, brain disorder. Basically I do not respond to medication and my headaches are every day since the age of 12. The neurologist did many tests including EEG, spinal tap, skin biopsy, and CAT scan to get this diagnosed. I can only go 2 weeks and then I need an opiate to help me diminish the pain and then we start all over again. Physical activity makes the pain worse so daily limits are in place to keep the pain at a low level. My memory is affected when the pain is at a high level, seems to be getting worse with age instead of better.
Comment from: Trudy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 11
I"ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto"s encephalopathy 7 years ago and it seems to be caused by medicines. It is horrible. I have blackouts for hours and bad pressures in my brain. My hearing goes down, eyesight gets blurred and I have high fevers and I'm on a very high dose of thyroxine. I am on the steroids now because they didn"t work anymore.
Comment from: Sadiethelady56, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 20
I have hepatic enchephalopathy. It's the scariest thing I've ever dealt with and equally as frustrating. I have always been a very strong person, and now I don't trust my decisions. I second guess my decisions, am scared to death of protein, and for a retired cop who's used to having it all under control, it makes me crazy. I find myself just withdrawing from everyone rather than do something stupid. I'm also tired a lot. My sleep schedule is bizarre after years of complete regularity. It's just frustrating and scary. I used to be able to recognize when it was elevated, but now I can't.
Comment from: Emeraldprince, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: August 31
I was recently diagnosed with Encephalopathy. Wasn't given a specific type. Not alcohol related at all. I rarely if ever drink. Matter of fact drinking until I get a buzz makes my tremors worse. I have memory loss and at times have a hard time speaking when they are bad. I have what appears as seizures. I came from a western European country where I was living when this all started over a year ago. They thought it was all in my head. I am on medicine now but wasn't given much of a prognosis. I am still vague even on what is wrong with me. I will have to talk further with my Neurologist. I live with family and it is hard on him as he is elderly. I don't want to get on disability as I want to get my fiancé here to help me when I have my hard times. I am looking for work that I know I can do.
Comment from: Help, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: May 19
I have been battling a severe pinworm infection for many months, with negative stool samples at least 7 samples. I have taken over-the-counter as well as prescription medicines. They are getting bigger and grosser, I'm cleansing laundry almost daily. I can't take this anymore. I even had a colonoscopy which was negative. All this started with my grandchildren. I'm so angry.
Comment from: Catyize003, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 01
With all the concussion talk about the NFL, I am wondering if I should seek out an MRI or other test, as I had a severe concussion back in 1999, was down on medication for 14 days, and returned to work, too early in my opinion. Back then, they did not consider that six months later I had difficulty memorizing a scheme, which I ordinarily would have had no issues with. There are six months to a year of living in like a dream state, and I now wonder just how much damage was really done back then. Should I be concerned, I did have issues with personality changes, and wondering if there are things I should look out for in the future. I just want to be prepared, as work just wanted to get me back to work, they were not concerned about long term effects.

American charities have contributed more than $709 million to aid quake-stricken Haiti.
Some of the largest gifts from the U.S. came through the American Red Cross ($271 million), Catholic Relief Services ($37.3 million), the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund ($40 million), Doctors Without Borders ($43.5 million), U.S. Fund for UNICEF ($44.7 million), and World Vision ($24.7 million), the Chronicle of Philanthropy reported.
It's been one month since the 7.0-magnitude earthquake turned much of the Caribbean nation into rubble. Amid the chaos and grief, Haitians stopped on Friday to mourn the losses, including the deaths of more than 200,000 people. The nation observed a moment of silence at 4:53 p.m., the time the earthquake struck on Jan. 12. more >>
Haitians are fasting and taking part in prayer vigils to mark one month since a devastating earthquake struck the Caribbean nation on January 12.
As the Haiti government revised the death toll from last month's earthquake to at least 217,000, Friday was declared a day of mourning.
According to the results of a new World Vision survey, 92 percent of survivors in devastated capital Port-au-Prince have lost a loved one. more >>
Some of the American Baptist volunteers faced with charges of child kidnapping may be freed as early as Thursday, sources say.
The Haitian judge overseeing the case is expected to rule mid-afternoon on whether to release the ten Americans who attempted to transport 33 Haitian children to the Dominican Republic without permission.
Though the judge's ruling cannot be confirmed, Reuters and CNN sources familiar with the case have said the judge might release two volunteers Thursday and six more next week. The last two members would remain in jail, according to the account. more >>
Thousands of Americans are waiting to hear an update on whether the children they sponsor in Haiti were affected by the massive earthquake.
"I am praying and waiting to hear if my child's family was affected or not. She lives in St. Marc," Dawn Higley commented on the Compassion International website.
Compassion International, a Christian child advocacy ministry, is currently in the tedious process of locating all of their children and providing each sponsor with a complete picture of how each person has or has not been affected by the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the Caribbean island last month. more >>
The Indianapolis Colts may not have won the Super Bowl on Sunday, but for many in the quake-hit areas of Haiti, it may appear as if they had.
In the coming months, Christian humanitarian agency World Vision will be sending the losing team's pre-prepared championship memorabilia to be received by needy children and families who were left with few possessions following Haiti's catastrophic earthquake.
"For years, World Vision has helped us to ensure that no NFL apparel goes to waste," says David Krichavsky, NFL Director of Community Relations. "With the enormous needs in Haiti and World Vision's long-term presence there, we know that these goods will go to very good use." more >>
While the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl win Sunday may have wiped away memories of the Gulf Coast hurricanes that hit their city five years ago, the mourning in Haiti – for many – still has no end in sight.
Nearly four weeks after Haiti's 7.0-magnitude quake devastated the capital city of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas, life remains difficult for thousands in Haiti who are without food, shelter, and – most desired – the loved ones they've lost.
"Haiti is a nation in mourning," commented Sian Platt, child protection specialist for the Christian humanitarian agency World Vision. "People have not just lost homes, jobs and everything they own, they are somehow trying to come to terms with the death of those who loved and supported them." more >>

Tia's Spicy Bean Stew
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 2 hrs
I saw a similar recipe years ago and tweaked it so much that it has become a household staple when I'm in a hurry. You can tone down the heat a bit by using diced tomatoes with green chilis instead of with jalapeno. Also please note that you can heat this on medium heat and then simmer 25-30 minutes if your in a hurry. I tend to let it simmer for a few hours or place in my crockpot. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (14 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos
- 1 (14 ounce) can corn, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- spicy black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons Pickapeppa Sauce (optional)
- 1 -2 teaspoon hot curry paste, this is (I use pataks brand) (optional)
- Get ready for easy! Put everything in a sauce pan or crockpot. Mix together. Cook on medium heat, then turn to simmer for 25 - 30 minutes, then low/warm for several hours. Add water as needed. I serve over rice or egg noodles. We have also eaten this "as is" with a hearty french bread for dipping! Is even better the next day!
Most Helpful
Definitely 5 star-tasting, and very easy, though you'll have to monitor the water level if you are making it on the stove top (which is how I made it), which makes it strictly a weekend recipe for me. I added about 1/4 cup water three times. I had pickapeppa sauce and hot curry paste, so I couldn't see leaving it out. Since my BF doesn't like spicy that much, I used 1/4 teaspoon of each. I could see using 1/2 teaspoon next time. Instead of canned corn I used frozen. Thanks, this was delicious and BF liked it a lot too. Looking forward to leftovers.
Nice and spicy, but still quite tolerable. I used curry powder instead of curry paste but made no other changes. I made this on the stovetop, but I can see how this would be perfect for the crockpot. This is a delicious and easy meatless stew. Thanx!
I really loved this spicy stew. The flavors of the garlic, cumin, curry and chili pepper flakes are amazing, couple that with the beans, tomatoes and corn and you have a combination that is a winner. Thanks for a tasty lunch. Made for the Dining Daredevils team for ZWT5.

Schomberg Center director Dr. Khalil Muhammad: Black history is 'life saving'Historians in the News
Scholar, historian, black culture enthusiast, author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America and recently appointed director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York; Dr. Khalil Muhammad exemplifies the pure essence of Black History.
theGrio's Wanjira Banfield sat down with Dr. Muhammad to get an uncensored account of his love affair with black culture, his unwavering desire for a conscientious America and his commitment to the global advancement and experience of African-Americans.
theGrio: What led you to this journey to becoming a leader of black history preservation and eventually the director of the Schomburg Center?
Dr. Muhammad: I wanted to know black history for my own personal growth. When I was in college, there was a lot of controversy surrounding African-Americans, as well as debate about whether black students were qualified to be in well known prestigious universities such as my alma mater; the University of Pennsylvania. I didn't personally feel equipped to understand those arguments. This began with me deciding that I needed to get more familiar with African-American history. I needed to learn my history, my culture.
The more I learned, the more I wanted to know and the more committed I became to producing new knowledge where it didn't already exist....

Ubuntu 7.10 has Reached End of Life
Those who operate systems with Ubuntu 7.10 should look into possible update options. As of Saturday, the support for the distribution is no more.
The Gutsy Gibbon first saw the light of day on October 18, 2007. The support for Gutsy Gibbon AKA Ubuntu 7.10 runs out according to schedule on April 18th. This means Canonical will no longer supply security patches or any other updates for the distribution.
Those who who would like to implement an upgrade must first go with 8.04, then 8.10 and 9.04 or simply stay with LTS Version 8.04, which will be supplied with new packets until April 2011.
Likewise, the support for the first LTS Version from Ubuntu is set to end: in June 2009 the life cycle for the desktop version from Dapper Drake. The server version of Ubuntu 6.06 will be administered by Canonical until 2011.

Sore throath and Fever of 102
Q: My son has a bad sore throat aches and pains and is running a fever of 102.56. What should I do? He hasnt complained of a soar throat and hasnt has a cold recently. But I am worried about his fever.I just gave him some tyelenol and I am hoping that it will help bring down the fever. What do I do if his fever gets worse.
I recognize your worry about your son's sore throat. Having a sore throat or Pharyngitis could be very common at this time of the year. Most of the causes are viral in which only slight fever, inflammation and redness of the tonsils is present but sometimes is due to bacteria in which pus in the tonsils and pain while swallowing could also be present.
I suggest you to treat the fever with the same medication and also give him plenty of fluids at ambient temperature. He could also shower with warm water, this helps reducing the fever as well. Gargling with salt water relieves the pain from the sore throath. If in the next couple of days, if he is not feeling better, a visit to the physician would be recommended to rule out bacterial pharyngitis and probably the need of antibiotics. I hope he feels better.

What hit in 2011: "Shameless"
What's next: Season two of "Shameless"
Lowdown: After being wooed by a tone-deaf Gerard Butler in "Phantom of the Opera," outrunning wolves in Manhattan in "The Day After Tomorrow" and then going down in box office flames with the rest of the "Dragonball" cast, Emmy Rossum might not have seemed like the person most likely to steal Showtime's "Shameless" from Oscar nominees William H. Macy and Joan Cusack. It took exactly one episode to realize that Rossum was the true funny, sexy, searing star of of the dysfunctional black comedy, giving a performance that blended bruised strength and resilience with a raw emotionalism never hinted at in her earlier ingenue roles. And as showy as Rossum's work on "Shameless" often was, she was at her best sharing scenes with other potential Breakout candidates including Jeremy Allen White and Cameron Monaghan, anchoring an ensemble, rather than hogging the spotlight.

Slide Show: Status Check
What if the definition of luxury begins to shift, and we start associating the term not with logos and character-driven brand names but the prestige of well-made, artisan-produced, mindful goods that will can be worn for ages and then passed down for eons?
You know, just wondering. What if?Brand new in two Seattle stores, Muratori Designs wants to take you a step or two in that direction...

It took many minutes for hot water , ice machine was broken , skimpy on soap and shampoo, etc .
Convenient location
Carpet smelled awful. No updates to the rooms. TV was way out of date.
Location was near my destination and it had HBO.
It was run down. The floor was damp in the room. There was no clock or coffee maker in my room.
not much
Owners did NOT speak English. I paid online but they still asked for my card, which what I thought was for liability however, they charged the card for the room as well. The whole place was very sketchy. The breakfast was anything but impressive.
The air condition was loud and it leaked, they did fix the problem once i brought it to their attention. The internet service was very bad
Just the location.
fairly run down overall
Best customer service. Awesome staff. Hotel employee were wonderful and very helpful from the moment i called requesting general information.Very close to public transportation, quick response from taxi's. Safe area.
Didn't like the 'free breakfast'. They should provide healthier options, fruits, and a wide variety overall. I would advertise it as a light sweet snack. There's plenty of places to have a nice breakfast (or any meal), within walking distance.
Worst stay Ever ...
List too long to write ...
The king size bed was great.
Not enough towels an soap to take a bath an they charged for the Internet which throught was a bit much.
Cable channels suck
Roach motel, noisy
bad motel, nasty an staff only give u 5 mins to get out of room past 11am.
dirty bad bug matress. smelled like curry an cigs an dust.
Convenient to the hospital
Emergency trip to pick up son from hospital. Reserved 4 nights, checked out 2nd night when son was released early. Was charged full 4 nites. RIP OFF!!!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

History Lives: Visit Charleston's Antebellum Plantations to Picnic, Explore and Learn
By Clare Sweeney
Charleston Local Expert
When touring Charleston, visitors may too often overlook the beautiful and historically meaningful areas located just off the city's small peninsula, including many parks, beaches and centuries-old plantations. Making a visit to the quiet, shady plantation grounds in the surrounding lowcountry can make for the ideal day trip for any traveler, especially families with children. Variety abounds in the historical features, facilities, and types of tours available at each plantation. Come January, visit Boone Hall Plantation alongside hundreds of Charlestonians at the Lowcountry Oyster Festival, or admire the Azaleas in bloom at the oldest unrestored gardens in the U.S. at Magnolia Plantation.
If you're traveling as a family, consider bringing the kids to Charles Towne Landing, home to the original South Carolina colony settlement, and a National Historic Site complete with life size colonial merchant ship and petting zoo. If you're up for a slightly longer road trip, visit Pick Pocket Plantation in Beaufort to enjoy its twice weekly Farmer's Market as well as face painting and pony rides!
Fancy yourself a tea lover? Plan a visit to America's only tea plantation, just a short drive from downtown Charleston. The Charleston Tea Plantation offers factory tours, trolley tours, and all the tea you can drink! Looking for an overnight romantic escape from the city? Stay in a historic B & B built in the early 1700's to enjoy bird watching, nature walks and plantation breakfasts at Mansfield Plantation in Georgetown.
Hopsewee Plantation
Built in the year 1740 before the American Revolution, Hopsewee Plantation originally served as a rice plantation on the North banks of the North Santee River, and on fields across the river on Lynche's Island. This U.S. National Historic Landmark is located off of Highway 17 about halfway between Myrtle Beach and Charleston, about 48 miles outside Charleston city limits. Wooded trails, river views, and Spanish moss hung trees slow time to the plantation's eighteenth century golden days. House tours are run on the hour Tuesday through Saturday, or by appointment, and include a tour of the house and grounds. (843-546-7891)
Pick Pocket Plantation
Built in the mid nineteenth century in present day Beaufort, SC, Pick Pocket Plantation spans 15 acres and is home to nine historical buildings, including its restored plantation house. The property was originally a truck farm, or a farm that provides produce for local markets, and was part of the Trask family truck farming empire that once stretched from Beaufort north to Wilmington, NC. Pick Pocket Plantation runs a farmer's market Tuesdays 1 - 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. with pony rides, face painting, and of course fresh produce and local crafts to take home! Tours of the plantation home are led by a costumed guide and storyteller, and are $7 for adults, and free for kids. (843-271-1869, 843-812-6921)
Hampton Plantation State Park
The Hampton Plantation Park and Mansion, dating back to circa year 1735, is located about 16 miles south of Georgetown, which is situated just a short drive from Charleston closer to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Once home to Archibald Rutledge, the famous author and state poet laureate, Hampton plantation and State Historic Site was built by the French Huguenots who emigrated to the United States seeking religious freedom during the 1800s and 1900s, and was also once visited by the first United States president, George Washington, in the year 1791. Family friendly shady picnic areas are also available on site. (843-546-9361)
Charleston Tea Plantation
If you're planning to explore the city's sensational gardens and area historical plantations while in Charleston, the Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island is a great place to start. Set against a timeless backdrop of towering oaks, verdant fields and expertly manicured gardens, this remarkable green space is the only tea plantation in all of North America. Take a guided tour to learn about how different Charleston plantation teas are made, and be sure to stop by the Tea Shoppe afterward for fresh tea samples and to pick up a box or two of local teas to take home with you. (843-559-0383 Ext. 42)
Mansfield Plantation
Established in 1718 on the banks of the Black River in present day Georgetown, Mansfield Plantation served primarily as a rice plantation, common for lowcountry plantations. This plantation, covering almost 1,000 acres, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is owned and operated by descendents of the original Parker family owners. The Mansfield property has changed hands between influential area families for 92 years before finally being sold back into the Parker family in 2004. Mansfield Plantation is now a bed and breakfast inn, but offers plantation tours and afternoon tea to large groups, as well as nature walks and bird watching available on site. A group day trip or even overnight stay outside the city at Mansfield Plantation is doable, with a slave village and chapel, Oak alley, and Cypress swamp making plenty to explore. Two weeks notice is required for tours and tea sessions. (853-546-6961, 1-866-717-1776)
Drayton Hall
Plantations were once a common fixture around Charleston, South Carolina, which is home to a wealth of other important United States historic sites and attractions. The sole surviving whole intact Ashley River plantation, Drayton Hall is a favorite choice of visitors to the area. The stunning Georgian house has survived hurricanes, armed invasion and civil war duress. Not once updated or modernized, the stunning house and property grounds take you back to a time and place when rice and cotton were king, Charleston was a booming wealthy Southern agricultural center, and the seven generations of Drayton craftsmen built works of architectural art. (843-769-2600)
Charles Towne Landing
Set on land where the Carolinas' first permanent British settlers made their home in 1670, this 664-acre park property offers not only beautiful surroundings but a living history lesson that the whole family can enjoy. Found onsite are extensive grounds, a Natural Habitat zoo featuring an Animal Forest home to animals these early settlers would have encountered, along with a replica authentic wooden sailing ship, an experimental garden with plants from the South Carolina colonial era, and a restored village. Along with these wonderful opportunities for historical exploration, you'll find family friendly picnic areas, hiking and biking trails, and beautiful regional plant life, including azaleas, camellias and massive sprawling live oak trees. (843-852-4200)
Magnolia Plantation
Home to the country's oldest public gardens, this 17th-century Charleston lowcountry plantation also boasts one of the largest collections of azaleas and camellias in all of the United States. Take advantage of both the nature train and boat tour, which offer visitors breathtaking views and photo opportunities and an expansive tour throughout the plantation's picturesque wetlands, lakes, forests and mossy marshes. Two previous main houses on the Magnolia Plantation property were destroyed by fires during a raid by Union troops during the Civil War, and the current main house, furnished with beautiful antique wood period piece items, dates back to 1873. (843-571-1266, 800-367-3517)
Middleton Place
Middleton Place Plantation is not only a National Historic Landmark, but also America's oldest landscaped gardens, and a great place to spend a day with the family outside the city. Enjoy Middleton Place's Camellias in winter, vibrant Azaleas in spring, and Magnolias, Crepe Myrtles and roses in summer, as the garden is blooming year-round. Visitors to Middleton Place may tour the gardens, the South Flanker House Museum, built in 1755 as the gentleman's guest quarters, as well as the surrounding landscaped property and ruins from buildings burned in the Civil War. Middleton Place is the birthplace of Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and has housed four generations of the Middleton family. (843-556-6020, 800-782-3608)
Boone Hall Plantation
An iconic row of ancient live oak trees welcomes you to one of America's oldest living and working plantations, and one of the most famous plantations in the South. Boone Hall Plantation is set on 783 acres and established in 1681, and was opened to the public in 1956. This beautiful property has been the filming location for dozens of movies, documentaries, and TV series with its historic buildings and old slave cabins still perfectly intact. Boone Hall offers guided tour group tours of the elegant house, a carriage tour of the grounds or self-guided tours through the slave quarters and the extensive gardens. (843-884-4371)

Charlestons Veterans Day parade will be held downtown Saturday afternoon.
Police officials stress interruptions to traffic wont be long-term and that cars will not have to be moved out of street parking spaces during the event.
The parade will begin at 3:30 p.m., kicked off by the playing of the National Anthem and a fly-over from a C-17 aircraft.
Charleston police Lt. Jason Emanuele said some parking spaces will be blocked off ahead of time but not all cars will have to be removed from the parade route.
The parade will last about 90 minutes, with city streets opening again once the last group in the march has passed by.
All streets should be cleared by 5:30 p.m.
The parade is sponsored by the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and will feature historic military vehicles, motorcycle groups, veterans service organization floats and more.
Grand marshal is Capt. Kenney Gutshall, commanding officer of Naval Health Clinic Charleston.
The parade begins at 3:30 p.m. and travels from Concord and Market streets, west on Market to East Bay Street, then East Bay to Broad Street, then from Broad Street ending at Colonial Lake.

Jerusalem ain't no Tel Aviv, but I suspect the city is more surprising than you'd first think.
People-Watching in Jerusalem
Jerusalem is quite an intense city and with its diverse population, it's no surprise that the people in and around Jerusalem are some of the most interesting in the world. This city is very passionate about its past, its history, its religions. And the people that are there
- Western Wall — one of Jerusalem's most famous tourist sites. It's a great plaza to sit and soak up the history/religion/strange-awesome-power
- Zion Square — I used to love sitting around here and just taking in the mix of locals and tourists. The pedestrian walkway usually has some sort of buskers or people hawking things so it makes for a nice mix of interesting characters.
- Pedestrian mall outside Jaffa Gate — Jaffa Gate in and of itself is an interesting place. The official tourism office is located right there so there's lot of people selling bagels and street food, not to mention the people dressed up as ancient Romans selling tours. But the pedestrian mall just outside the Old City is a comfortable place for a walk—especially if you get tired of the dust-brown, winding alleys in the Old City.
- Mount of Olives — It's a great scenic overview onto the Dome of the Rock and the Old City of Jerusalem. You can walk up through the Jewish cemetery on the side of the hill as well, if you're into that. It's also a great place for a political overview of Jerusalem. Many political tours stop here to explain a bit about the complex nature of Jerusalem.
- Urban Walks – My friend Yana runs her own tour company called Urban Walks, labeled "authentic tours for the curious visitor." With tours that include hidden hotspots and urban legends from downtown Jerusalem to a Nightlife & Street Art Tour, the urban walks are a great (and fun!) way to explore one of the world's most fascinating cities. Tours are held every Sunday and Wednesday, from 65 NIS (approximately $15+).
Cool Bars & Nightlife
- Sira Pub — An old favorite bar of mine, it's located on Ben Sira Street (and just around the corner from the delicious Humus Ben Sira). It's a bit dark and gritty, but when the weather's good, the tables outside along the alleyway are a great place to hang out.
- Mike's Place — There's the one in Tel Aviv right on the beach, and this one in J'lem (which is kosher unlike its TLV counterpart) has been open for a short while. It can be quite touristic but there's usually live music. Note: it tends to be very popular with Americans.
- Uganda — Probably Jerusalem's most trendy/hipster bar in my opinion. With amazing music, the place is decorated with old records and has an awesome vibe. People are usually spilling out onto the streets. 4 Aristobolus Street
- Cassette (Hakaseta) – One of the coolest bar/clubs in Jerusalem, you'll find good music and chill crowds.
- Video Pub – Since the more popular Mikveh club closed down in 2013, Video Pub is now one of Jerusalem's few gay (or really, gay-friendly) bars.
Food & Cafés
- Tmol Shilshom — FAVORITE! Love this place. Part bookstore, part cafe, part hipster hang-out. It's near all the main touristy stuff, but through a back courtyard and up a metal staircase it can be a bit challenging to find. Like a clam oasis in the chaos that is touristic Jerusalem. Love the food, too!
- Holy Bagels — Right near the Jerusalem bus station, I used to grab a quick bagel here on my way in and out of the city. Very American-style bagels :)
- Falafel stand at Damascus Gate – this old stand in the Old Town, just near the Damascus Gate is SO YUMMY. And super cheap. It's hard to miss as it's right near the beginning of the market.
- Humus Ben Sira — Really enjoyed this tiny place for their hummus. On a side street and usually crowded.
- Zuni — A bit of a fancier restaurant than I usually visit, but their food was delicious.
Art & Museums
The museums in Jerusalem cover the full gamut—from historical to political, religious to artistic. The city is also home to one of Israel's largest art schools (the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design) so you'll find a lot of art markets and pop-up galleries. Keep an eye out for the street art in Jerusalem, some of which is very political but others less so.
- Yad Vashem – If there's only room for one Jerusalem museum on your itinerary, make it this one. Israel's Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem is likely to be an emotional experience for many visitors. Entrance is free. Don't miss the Hall of Names and the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations. Read more museum highlights here.
- Underground Prisoner's Museum – It's a small museum located in a former prison that gives you a brief (and carefully dictated) history of Israel, mostly centered around the Zionist and Jewish underground movement which ultimately led to the formation of Israel.
- Muslala – This art project is based in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Musrara, bordering East and West Jerusalem. An area once referred to as No Man's Land. Thanks to the tireless work of local residents, the area has become a unique symbol of peace with artists leaving public art in several open-air galleries. The Muslala organization runs a free tour every Saturday which I highly recommend.
- Ticho House – This house in Jerusalem has been converted into a gallery and restaurant as part of the Israel Museum. It's currently closed and set to reopen in 2015.
- Barbur Gallery – One of Jerusalem's best art galleries, this small space and garden not only puts on unique exhibitions but also hosts art classes for the local community. Take a walk down Shirizli Street where the gallery is located and you'll find plenty of creative inspiration in the colors and shops nearby.
- Museum on the Seam – This isn't your typical museum. Located in the Musrara neighborhood, it calls itself a socio-political contemporary art museum. Exhibitions cover political and controversial social issues.
- Israel Museum – Perhaps the most famous museum in Israel, it's the largest cultural institution in all of Israel. Inside you'll find exhibitions on art and archaeology, plus the famous Dead Sea Scrolls found near Masada.
- Gallery Anadiel – This small gallery run by the Al-Ma'mal foundation showcases contemporary Palestinian art. It's located just inside the Old City near the New Gate, though is open irregularly—only when their are exhibitions on. More information can be found at the Al-Ma'mal Foundation offices, also by the New Gate.
Where to Stay
Jerusalem is pretty much at the center of the world and it attracts tourists from, well, everywhere. There are hotels and hostels throughout the city. You'll find most luxury or 5-star properties in East Jerusalem, hostels and budget accommodation within the Old City walls and many other properties scattered around the western parts of the city (near the Mahane Yehuda Market and Zion Square).
- Austrian Hospice – this place is a hostel/hotel (I never stayed there, though) but they have a great courtyard and cafe. It's inside the Old City, maybe a 5 minute walk from the Western Wall. They serve some delicious apple strudel and Viennese style coffee!
- Abraham's Hostel – This independent hostel has a smart ethos when it comes to tourism in Israel. They keep their bar and lounge area open to the public with events not just for tourists but locals as well. With live music, weekly Friday Shabbat cooking events and even Hebrew & Arabic language lessons, Abraham's is *the* best place to stay in Jerusalem. They have dorm rooms, private rooms (with mini-fridges, even) and family rooms. Dorm prices from $23/night.
I'm no stranger to controversy but I did want to add this to my Jerusalem city guide… This city is an incredible, fascinating place with a very long and complex history. There are many nonprofits, NGOs and independent organizations that delve into the politics of Jerusalem today. Many of these even offer tours or informational guides to tourists.
I'd suggest looking them up if you really want to learn about Jerusalem. Sure, you can show up in the city and spend a few days seeing all the holy sites but Jerusalem deserves a bit more attention than just a cursory look. Learn about the city's current political situation from both Israelis and Palestinians. Below are a few recommendations on where you can find additional information.
- Educational Bookshop – Located just outside the Old City's Damascus Gate, this bookshop and café sells international newspapers, magazines, DVDs and books focusing on Middle Eastern culture and the Arab-Israeli conflict. It's a great place to learn more about the region and its political history, or to at least buy some books which might be able to shed more light. Also make sure to check their Facebook page for news about local events, demonstrations or film screenings.
- Museum on the Seam – This isn't your typical museum. Located in the Musrara neighborhood, it calls itself a socio-political contemporary art museum. Exhibitions cover political and controversial social issues.
- Green Olive Tours – This popular tour operator sells a small variety of tours in Israel and Palestine, including the West Bank. Their Greater Jerusalem Tour includes a tour of East Jerusalem with political maps, visits to the Separation Wall and even one of the Jewish settlements, Ma'alah Adumim. I haven't personally taken the tour… yet… but I'd recommend them as a tour operator.

Library Items Relate to "We the People: Picturing American Identity"
We cannot always squeeze everything we want into the galleries, and some objects are not easily displayed on the walls. The research library is exhibiting several items that could not be fit into the We the People: Picturing American Identity exhibition, yet enhance the show in interesting ways.
One exhibition looks at the American ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as depicted in mass media print sources of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Another showcases the work of contemporary photographer Doug Rickard, who takes photographs of images of depressed parts of the nation from Google Street View as they appear on his computer monitor. A New American Picture comments on race and class, privacy and surveillance, and the tradition of street photography while asking the larger question of how this kind of digital image making relates to American identity.
The Emancipation of the Negroes, January 1863, the Past and the Future

In: Harper's Weekly (Jan. 24, 1863)
The research library, with the help of volunteer assistance, recently finished barcoding all the books in the main part of the stacks. Close to 50,000 items had to be examined, and items without a barcode got one attached. This process not only facilitates electronic checkout to staff, but it also helped us inventory the collection. Kudos to Mary Jane Harbison, Library Technical Services Coordinator, for shepherding this monumental project.
The photo below of volunteer Phyllis Evans, chief barcoder, shows relief or perhaps shock that she has crossed the finish line!
Behind the Scenes: Installing Hidden in Plain Site
Currently on view in the museum atrium is Hidden in Plain Site, a monumental art work that includes four canvases. Artist Sedrick Huckaby wanted to celebrate the artistic merit of his grandmother's quilts and explore the idea of quilts containing hidden messages. The process used by the artist to create this and other works was directly inspired by the collages of Romare Bearden, some of which are featured in the special exhibition Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey now on view through August 11, 2013.
Hanging a large-scale piece takes many hours of planning and collaboration. The project began four months before the works even came into the museum. Jim Belknap, Installation Manager, visited Huckaby's studio to look at the paintings and get an idea of what it would take to hang 300 pounds of wood, canvas, and paint on the walls of the museum. Not only was the safety of the art at stake, but the integrity of the delicate shell stone walls in the museums' atrium were an important issue during the installation.
A framework system was constructed on which the paintings were hung. (The design and build process took two months.) Framework and paintings would then hang on a pulley-and-cable system that was attached to a bronze channel already installed in the wall. The original channel proved to be too deep and new metal channel inserts had to be created to hold the bolts for the pulley/cable system.
Installation started on a Monday at 8 a.m. and was completed by 6 p.m. The work had to be completed before the museum reopened on Tuesday morning. This project required four professional art handlers, two registrars, two contractors, three lifts, and a step ladder from the Teaching Resource Center. The artist was on hand during the last hours of the installation and he didn't seem at all worried about his creation. The result is a wonderful marriage of art, careful planning, and precision engineering.
Hidden in Plain Site will be on view until October 31, 2013. Don't miss it!

Library Preservation Assessment
I have had the great pleasure of spending the past two days at the library doing a preservation assessment of the print collections. A preservation assessment is a tool for the library to use to determine what they're doing well to preserve their collections, and plan for improvements in the future. This assessment was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
There are a few reasons that having a preservation assessment is important for libraries and archives. The first is that it serves as an internal tool for the library to determine and prioritize the next steps in their preservation program. The second, and possibly more important, is that the assessment report will make the case for the importance of preservation to stakeholders outside the library. This can be anyone from the museum's administration to users who advocate for the library, to potential funders for some of the projects I'll recommend.
I like to think that almost every facet of the library's operations has preservation implications, so this project has me looking at everything from the building's environment to the condition of the materials to disaster planning and security. Over the course of my visit, I have talked with lots of staff members about the collections and the building, and spent hours in the stacks looking at all of the library's wonderful materials. (And oh boy, do they have some wonderful materials!) Now, I'll take my research home with me and produce a written report for the library detailing all of my findings and recommendations.
I'll close by saying that the library and its staff are doing a terrific job of caring for a beautiful collection. It's a real treat for me to visit a library that obviously understands what they need to do to preserve their collections, and I'm delighted that Sam, Jon and Mary Jane have invited me here to be a part of that process.

Preserving Our Treasures
The Museum's conservators have rehoused its two prized daguerreotypes by Southworth & Hawes. [Two women posed with a chair], going on view this June, and [Child, asleep, with one arm raised] (both ca. 1850) were acquired in 1999. They came to the museum each in a modern displayable package that consisted of glass glazing, a mat board spacer, the daguerreotype, and mat board backing; a package in which they were housed until recently.
Rehousing the daguerreotypes gave Sylvie Pénichon (Photograph Conservator) and Tatiana Cole (Fellow in Photographs Conservation) the opportunity to fully examine and document the condition of the bare daguerreotype plates under different types of illumination and under magnification. Some of which are described below.
Coaxial illumination (above left) allows for imaging of surface characteristics of a daguerreotype (above right) without distracting reflections from its mirror-like surface. Illumination with ultraviolet light can sometimes reveal residual chemistry, for example from initial processing of the image or previous treatment, and it can also show the presence of degradation products. However, examination under ultraviolet light revealed none of the above on the Museum's two daguerreotypes.
Photomicrographs, i.e. images taken under magnification (as shown above), allow conservators to closely monitor any possible changes experienced by the delicate image material of the daguerreotype, which is composed of microscopic silver and mercury amalgam particles often coated with gold. One common type of degradation is characterized by a nucleus surrounded by a white haze (below left). Fingerprints perhaps belonging to the photographer himself may also be found (below right).
Photomicrographs also help to record hallmarks, which are blind stamps that identify the plate manufacturer or photographic supply house, and hold extremely useful information for researchers. A number, such as the "40" shown below, refers to the amount of silver to copper present in the daguerreotype plate. The particular hallmark shown below (from [Child, asleep, with one arm raised]) also identifies the plate as one of the most widely used French plates available between ca. 1850-1858.
After detailed documentation and imaging, the daguerreotypes were safely rehoused between two plates of highly stable and optically clear borosilicate glass, with a polyester tray that borders the daguerreotype plate (below left). The tray acts as a spacer that prevents direct contact between the delicate image surface and the glass. The glass on both sides gives researchers visual access to both the front and back of the daguerreotype plate. It also minimizes the amount of hygroscopic (moisture loving) materials, such as mat board, present within the package. Lastly, special tape is used to bind the new package components together. A schematic diagram shows a cross-section of the new housing (below right).
With new sealed packages, proper exhibition and storage conditions, and close monitoring by conservators, Southworth & Hawes' exquisite images will be preserved for generations to come. Be sure to come see [Two women posed with a chair] on view this coming June.

Rare Illustrated Book From Raymond Lufkin Discovered in Museum Library
Library staff recently unearthed what turns out to be an extremely rare example of an illustrated booklet from Raymond Lufkin (1899–1978). Lufkin published Drawings for Books, Magazines, and Advertisements around 1940 to promote his illustration services while living in New York's Lower East Side. Divided into two parts, "Drawings for Publishers" and "Drawings for Advertisers," the booklet showcases the range of his talent. What strikes me is how deftly he juxtaposes images, often with poetic effect. Below I show my favorite pairing: one page shows a swan gliding on a tranquil blue background, while the opposite page features an engraving showing a small boat in a turbulent storm. Not only do the images ironically relate in terms of subject, but also in terms of color: calming blue and aggressive black and white. Only two libraries, the research library at the Amon Carter, and the American Antiquarian Society, report having the title. Lufkin was an illustrator of prolific achievement active in the United States from the early to mid twentieth century, illustrating over fifty books and hundreds of advertisements. Lufkins' accomplishments also include several mural commissions for businesses in New York and work as as a camouflage artist during World War I.
Laura McPhee's Guardians of Solitude
The museum's research library is exhibiting a copy of Laura McPhee's large photobook Guardians of Solitude, offering a chance for visitors to compare the book with a companion photograph now on display in the exhibition Big Pictures. The limited edition book marks the inaugural publication of Iris Editions in London and translates McPhee's engagement with large-scale photographs into a book format. The images in this work document the regeneration of the landscape following a devastating fire in 2005 that ravaged an area of over 40,000 acres in the White Cloud Mountains Region in central Idaho. The sequence of photographs collectively demonstrates the interplay of destruction and creation following the fire. The special exhibition Big Pictures features McPhee's photograph, Understory Flareups, Fourth of July Creek, Valley Road Wild Fire, Custer County, Idaho, 2005, depicting the fire as it was happening.
Spring Today Summer Tomorrow
Lots of friends are making their way to the Amon Carter this week for our spring break Family Fun Week! Come look at art, talk about art, even make some art to take home.
Admission is free and strollers are welcome.

Sculptor Revisits His Early Haunts
Serra Talks About Childhood on Ocean, Job as Steel Riveter
Richard Serra is renowned for steel sculptures that helped redefine the notion of space in modern art. What's not so well known are his roots in the sand dunes of San Francisco's beaches and a youthful job in a Bay Area steel yard.
Mr. Serra, who now lives in New York, grew up in San Francisco and went to college at the University of California, Berkeley, earning money by working in the rivet gang of an Alameda steel company.
The monumental steel forms created by the 72-year-old artist are so admired that New York's Museum of Modern Art engineered one of its floors to support the weight of the work. In San Francisco, Mr. Serra's sculptures are displayed in UC San Francisco's Mission Bay campus and at Gap Inc.'s downtown headquarters.
The artist is back in San Francisco for his first-ever solo retrospective here, a collection of his drawings at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on display through Jan. 16. The Wall Street Journal caught up with Mr. Serra at the opening of the exhibition last week. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: What was it like growing up in San Francisco's Sunset neighborhood in the 1940s?
Mr. Serra: There was nothing there. There were two black-top streets that had streetcars, Taraval and Judah. Other than that, there were just sand dunes. Even to come downtown to Market Street was an event. I pretty much lived between the beach, the Golden Gate Park and the zoo. My perception was formed by the sea and the sand dunes.
WSJ: How did that shape your view of space?
Mr. Serra: The thing about sand dunes is there is no relation to a given horizon. You are always dealing with elevations. If you have to walk through the sand dunes to get to school every day, you have a different relationship to space: walking down a hill in the sand dunes, versus walking up the hill in the sand dunes.
When I was very young, I used to walk along the beach to the Cliff House. And I would say to my mother, there is something very interesting there. When I walked along the beach one way, I would have one experience. And when I got to the other end, I would turn around and follow in my previous footfalls, and what was once on the left was now on the right. The experience was totally different. My mother said, 'Oh that's interesting, but don't think about it too hard.' She didn't understand where I was going with it, but those kinds of things have always fascinated me.
WSJ: How did you end up working in a steel plant?
Mr. Serra: It was the most money that I could make in a short period of time. In high school I was working in a produce market, and as soon as I got out I joined U.S. Steel in Alameda working on a rivet gang. We were building trusses that went on to build the Crown Zellerbach building [at One Bush Plaza].
WSJ: So you learned something there about working with steel?
Mr. Serra: Yes, but I never thought I was going to use it. I probably learned more about how people organize labor. If you become a member of a steel union very early, you understand that people have to protect their rights, and part of protect their rights is to not overwork themselves.
WSJ: Did your work experience help you think of steel as art?
Mr. Serra: At first I was very reluctant to work with steel as art. If you look at the history of steel sculpture—from Picasso to Calder—they had used steel to cut and fold and hang out in space in terms of making pictures. But it was anchored and bolted into the ground, and it was false in terms of its gravitational load.
I wanted to bring the processes and procedures of the Industrial Revolution into art making. I thought, why not use steel for its weight-load, for its thickness, for its mass—and to use it in a very primary way, and to use it for its gravitational propensity. I went back to the basics of tectonics. If you look at "House of Cards" [on display at SFMOMA], that is pretty much it. Each part is in itself free-standing. None of them are dependent on welding for their manifestation. Everything is figured to balance on its own.
WSJ: What do you think of SFMOMA's plans for a major expansion?
Mr. Serra: I have a piece called "Sequence," which is going to be on the ground floor [of the new structure] on Howard Street. I have met three or four times with [SFMOMA architects] Snøhetta, who made a second-floor space where you can look down into the piece.
WSJ: Do you have any major commissions in the works for the Bay Area?
Mr. Serra: There may be a very large piece. Initial discussions sometimes lead to negotiations that lead to building—and sometimes that is three or four years in the making. Right now there is something incubating that is very promising.
