Two days in MoscowAuthor: RichardNika (More Trip Reviews by RichardNika)
Date of Trip: August 2008
We arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Terminal 1 - the terminal for domestic flights - early in the morning of Saturday, August 2, after a 4 hour Aeroflot flight almost due west from Novosibirsk, Siberia, crossing three time zones. Things may have been different in Soviet times - I don't know - but, today, arriving on a domestic flight in a Russian city is just like an American domestic arrival. You simply walk off the plane and, if you haven't checked any luggage, simply walk out of the terminal. As we did.
A friend of one of our daughters had lived in Moscow for a year or so, and I'd written her for advice. She'd responded that our hotel, the Sevastopol, was at the opposite side of the city from our airport, and suggested taking a taxi, which would have cost at least $50-$60 and probably much more, inasmuch as it would have meant taking a taxi at random - something not recommended in Russia - as opposed to ordering one through a hotel desk. I quickly spotted the local bus that links the airport with Moscow's huge Metro (subway) system, the number 851. It was crowded, but we had seats. It was a long dull ride to the Rechnoi Vokzal station - the northernmost station in Line 2. We passed miles of industrial areas, warehouses and nondescript buildings. Eventually, I dozed off. A woman across from us alerted us as we pulled into the stop for the station. (If you don't know the language, but want to find out how to get to a certain place, or to be alerted when you get there, just state the place name. Your "guide" will get the message!)
We dragged our luggage off the bus, across the road and into a large indoor waiting area. There were ticket windows and lines, but they moved quickly enough. Moscow's Metro now uses electronic card-like tickets rather than tokens, which are used in Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg. You can have more than one ride stored on your ticket. We went down a long escalator and boarded the number 2 "green line." A word about their Metro. The cars are always full and yet there are almost always seats. The reason for that is that the trains on all the lines run almost continuously. In New York, if you miss your train and it's not rush hour, you may wait 10, 15, even 20 minutes for the next one. In Moscow, you're more likely to wait only two or three minutes. It is a superb system, and goes pretty much everywhere, like the one in Paris. And it is easy to use and the signs are easy to read and follow, if - and this is a very big IF - you take the trouble before your trip to learn the Russian/Cyrillic alphabet. Without that, you will be lost.
We went through more than a dozen stations, and directly under the city center, including the Red Square area. Many of the stations, including the busiest and most central ones, were built shortly before or even during World War II, and are noted both for being very deep underground - they doubled as air raid shelters - and for their large scale art work, murals and statuary. Unfortunately, we could see almost none of it through the windows. We finally reached our transfer point - Kashirskaya (most station names seem to end either in -aya or -ovo) and switched to a short, three-station line, bound for the Kakhovskaya station. We emerged into a relatively small and not very deep station, complete with a few small shops and, near one exit, a resident dog. Our hotel, I had been advised, would be in Building One of a series of tall buildings, leading out from an intersection where there were some smaller buildings and a few of the roofed beer/water/snack kiosks that are common and convenient in Moscow, just as they had been in Novosibirsk.
Finding the hotel turned out to be a nightmare. The buildings seemed to house primarily small wholesale one or two room operations, mostly staffed by Indians and/or Pakistanis, dealing in bags and crates of dry foodstuffs, costume jewelry and decorations and all sorts of things and parts of things, with loaded wheelbarrows and dollies constantly moving about.. It was bizarre. My wife would wait outside each building while I'd walk around inside, questioning people who either didn't know there was a hotel in the area, insisted there was no hotel in the area, or gave me the wrong directions - sometimes directing me to another floor in the building, sometimes to a different building. Finally, after dealing with 4 or 5 different buildings and persons in them, we encountered a man in a coat and tie who spoke perfect English and offered to lead us to the actual hotel, which was in one of the buildings farthest down the line. We entered a rather plain lobby, with a rack of cards from dozens of taxi companies and an old couch. A middle aged blonde woman at the desk confirmed that she had our reservation and that it was indeed prepaid. I waited on the couch while my wife dealt with her. It seemed that the unpleasantness caused by the difficulty in locating the actual hotel was over, and everything had finally fallen into place.
Minutes later, my wife turned to me, visibly upset. The woman had told her that she had no confirmation that our visa had been properly registered in Novosibirsk, our previous city, and that therefore we would have to pay a government-imposed fine of 5,000 rubles each - almost $250 - in cash, in rubles, paid directly to her. This was, of course, a bald-faced lie, a crude extortion attempt. At first, we thought we were in the grip of a pitiless bureaucracy and that our travel agent, or our hotel, or someone had been negligent. But it was the woman at the desk who was pitiless. She mocked me for not knowing the phone number of our embassy, and, when I raised my voice, threatened to have us forcibly removed from the premises. We didn't have that kind of cash on us, and there were no ATMs in the area.
My wife began to remonstrate with the woman, at first distressed and then getting progressively angry, and it dawned upon us that there had been no mistake or negligence but, rather, that this person was lying to us and trying to extort money from us. It was our first, and thankfully last encounter with crime in Russia. After some talk about calling the embassy, calling the police, and about me maybe having a heart attack right then and there, and questions about the location of the nearest hospital, this nasty creature suddenly "found" the "missing" confirmation, gave us our room key and directed us to the elevators. Leery of further trouble, we thanked her and acted polite, while at the same time I soothed myself with thoughts of how, once back home, I would report her and her hotel to every travel site I could find as well as well as to the Russian authorities (and you better believe I did just that! And the woman from the agency who had arranged our time in Russia assured me that they would never book anyone at the Sevastopol Hotel again).
Our room and bath were somewhere between the 2 and 3 star level - not bad at all. Down the hall was the large open breakfast area, and nearby was the desk where the "floor lady" sat. The procedure was to leave the key with her when we'd go out and return it to her when we came back. We unpacked, took a little time to recuperate from the nightmarish experience of first finding the hotel and then dealing with the extortionist desk clerk, and then discussed where to go and what to do. We were tired and didn't want to go far, and the nearest place of interest was an old royal estate, Kolomenskoye Park, just one station up the green line,
We emerged at a busy intersection. There were colorful streetcars - actual trolleys on rails - not that common anymore in Moscow or St. Petersburg - and just to one side was an outdoor terminus where they turned around. I've been fascinated with trolleys since early childhood, and took some good shots. We turned and walked along a wide boulevard, not sure where the park was or which side it was on, but we finally came to an entry point.
It was cloudy and cool. There was a ticket window, but no one was selling admissions, so we just walked in. The park was a very long and wide green area paralleling the boulevard, filled with pathways, beautiful trees and small and medium sized old buildings - presumably once houses - widely scattered. Far ahead were larger and more intriguing-looking buildings with decorative exteriors.
As we walked up one wide paved uphill path, we came upon a man with no legs, positioned on a small cart, really not much more than a small wooden platform with equally small wheels, only inches above the ground. He was propelling himself slowly up the path by means of blocky objects with handles, one gripped in each hand. He'd push them down and back, thereby moving himself forward and up by inches each time, then holding them in place to prevent backsliding, then pushing again. It was a shocking and pitiful sight. No one offered to help, nor did he seem to want help, nor would there have been any feasible way to help him, short of bending down and pushing him on his back, or attaching a rope to the front of the platform and pulling him, which would probably have upended him.
We walked past him, and came to a small but impressive church with three decorated blue domes that looked as if they could have been jewelry if they had been small enough. Inside was a small sales counter and a sign requesting that photos not be taken. The interior was dark and divided into several chambers, filled with standing worshipers, candles and icons. It was so Russian orthodox, so ritualistic, mystical, gloomy and spooky and yet no doubt inspiring to its congregants. There was no conventional large chamber with rows of seats. It was all chambers.
As we left, we saw the legless man, still moving up the path, and then it started to rain. Hard. Living in south Florida, we're used to heavy downpours that usually end within minutes. This one didn't stop, but got heavier. We saw a sort of outdoor restaurant/cafe with an enclosed area, but when we tried to go in, a rude bald man angrily barred the way. My wife said it was because there was a private party inside. There were also overhangs and small tables largely covered by umbrellas, so we did avoid getting totally soaked. There was a long grill under one protected area, and sandwiches and skewers of meat were being sold. We settled for beer and sweet rolls.
The rain didn't let up so much as simply becoming less intense, so we finally left the cafe, got a little lost, took some photos of intriguingly decorated old wooden houses, and finally returned to the covered entryway. The two dogs we'd seen on entry were still there, so I photographed them as well. Dogs, as well as trolleys, are favorite subjects of mine.
We walked back whence we'd come. There was a sort of covered sentry post with two officers, and we sheltered there briefly, then finally approached the trolley intersection. There was a supermarket there, and sheltered areas around it. We bought some food and made it back to our room. As we did throughout our stay there, we always took the "wrong" Metro exit, meaning we had to cross the intersection and get confused about the way back. We stopped at a kiosk for bottles of cold beer. Those kiosks are one of my favorite things about Russia, or at least the three Russian cities we visited. The operators will usually try to sell you a bottle of German beer first. That runs about a third more than the Russian brands, which are just as good. As in Novosobirsk, I always asked for Klinkskaya brand.
In northern Europe in the summer, it gets dark late, so we decided to take another short outing, and returned to the Green line. There was no time to do the whole Red Square and/or museums stuff, but we wanted to stop in that area, but somehow managed to make a fortuitous mistake and get off just south of there at the Novokuznetzskaya station. It was there that we had our first encounter with the extreme depth of the central part of the system. Entering or leaving through the major stations, you get on an escalator that seems to go on forever. In the median between the up and down portions are strange, illuminated tall pyramid-like lights. I also became acquainted with the fact that the Moscow Metro cars and escalators seem to be favored places for young couples to make out. They are totally unselfconscious about it. People associate young couples publicly smooching with Paris, but I've rarely seen it there. The Moscow and St. Petersburg Metros are another story. On one of those endless escalators, I saw two different couples, yards apart, standing and smooching as they were whisked along.
Our mistaken exit was fortuitous, because, when we emerged from the bowels of the Metro, we were in an area very reminiscent of New York's Greenwich Village. There was a large outdoor fountain, and there were small restaurants and funky little shops. It was getting dark, the rain had stopped, and it was cool and pleasant. We walked around, didn't buy anything, but saw one restaurant that looked interesting and reasonable, and resolved to have dinner there the following evening. We finally Metroed back to our hotel, got more beer at the kiosk. snacked, and, with no TV, read a bit and turned in.
Sunday, August 3: Red Square and museum day! We got an early start. Breakfast was served to us in the almost-empty breakfast area, eggs, toast coffee and a few other additions; it was good and adequate. We took the Green line to the Ploschad-Revolutsii station, actually part of a conglomerate of stations. It was a long walk underground. Emerging from the bowels of Moscow, we were in an area lined with sales stalls. Walking towards Red Square, we encountered a large group of peace demonstrators, complete with banners and flags, many of which spelled out "AMERICA" in both Russian and English letters. The banners were very long, supported by groups of people, like huge ribbons. As we watched, a huge group of balloons was released into the sky.

So far I have been having a very good time at my new home. I like it and I'd like to stay forever! Mom said that'd be okay. I get big meals that fill my tummy, lots of fresh, clean water and a cage with a bed inside it at night! I'm thankful for this that I dont cry at night like my mom thought I would. She said some dogs arent good with the crate at night. We were going to walk to PetSmart today, but it rained. :o( oh well. Maybe tomorrow. I cant wait to meet my daddy for the first time. He is pretty wary of me, mom said. Dont know why, I'm cute as a button! ;o) Well, time to go nap on mommy's lap and let her have the computer back!! Thanks for reading!
P.S. Next diary entry, mom will mark my weight to keep you all posted on my growth!
Love, Buddy
Today was my first day at the Fisher's house. It was so much fun. It started with a car ride from the noisy place with all the other dogs. We drove straight to the house, where I am now, and we went in the back yard. Mom shaved all the hair off my back and it felt soo good! It was there for a very long time, it started to get thick and heavy, and pulled on my skin and hurt so bad. She even said there was a tick on my right side, but I didnt seem to notice anything. Once all the bad hair was gone, I felt free! Mom said I looked like a totally different dog, and I felt brand new! Then it was the bath. I did alright, mom said she thought I was gonna freak out.....but I didnt. Then she put this new leash and collar on me and looked so nice! I smelled nice, got a nice haircut, and off to PetSmart we went. Mom got me flea and tick drops b/c of the tick I had on me, she said she didnt see anymore of those, or fleas, but just to be on the safe side. Hannah is getting them too, just in case. They put me on the big scale and i topped out at 9.5 pounds! Wow. Mom said that hopefully I get to be about 11.5-12. She said she cant wait till I fill out...what ever that means! Then I got this shiny new tag with my name on it.....it goes real good with my blue collar! Even after all of this, we still had another adventure ahead of us. My first walk! Mom took Hannah and me to the park nearby. It was a hot walk! Thankfully it was short, and mom brought us ice water. Tasted good. Hannah got to go off-leash in the woods, but since I am new, she said it wouldnt be a good idea for now. Maybe someday after we establish a relationship she said I could. Well, now I am just wiped out! I've been sleeping by mom's feet all night! I think I'm going to like it here.....

Ignoring the lure of international expansion, the Greek legal market remains primarily made up of family-run firms focused on the local market.
The Greek legal industry has long been regarded as one of the most traditional in Europe, with local, family-run law firms dominating the market.
While Greek firms have long-served local companies and banks in corporate, banking and capital markets, this old-fashioned model has hindered developments and prevented Greek firms from breaking into the international arena.
"For a long time access to law has been very limited," says Potamitis Vekris managing partner Stathis Potamitis. "Greek firms are passed down through generations and this has meant it's very hard for people outside of these families to launch a career in law."
Restricted access has meant Greek firms lack the depth of expertise and the size required for making moves in the international space.
While family-run firms are still prevalent in the country, developments in the past decade have made progress possible. Until the late 1990s Greek firms had to be run as a proprietorship; corporation or limited liability status was not legally allowed.
In 2000 there was a significant change: firms were able to become LLPs. This has enabled new firms to be created and Greek firms to develop modern partnerships rather than the family-run model.
But progress is slow. Developing small Greek firms and transforming them into large-scale enterprises with an international appetite takes time.
"While there are a growing number of partnership-run firms, they are still very small in size and dedicated to the local Greek market," says Potamitis. "It takes a long time for a legal market to change and move away from its traditional roots."
Several Greek firms have made some progress moving away from the traditional Greek model. Zepos & Yannopoulos, Potamitis Vekris and Tryfon J Koutalidis have all developed into partnership-run firms.
"Greek firms have become partnerships but not in the style of Anglo-Saxon firms," says Paraskevas Law managing partner Dimitris Paraskevas.
"There's very much a local mentality for Greek firms. The market is centred on serving clients in the Greek market."
However, is there any enthusiasm to expand beyond the border? There is certainly a drive for local Greek firms to modernise to attract more people into careers in the Greek legal market, but competition on an international scale is less significant for local lawyers.
"There's not such an appetite for expansion into international markets," says Potamitis. "There's a thriving local market and Greek firms cover the wide range of practice areas you would find in other markets. For us there's not the incentive to embark on widespread expansion."
Despite the partnership model becoming more prevalent, local firms are reluctant to export their brand across the globe. Unlike firms in most other jurisdictions, Greek firms seem content to ignore the race to international expansion.
Going greek
US and UK firms have long-valued the Greek legal market. Several international firms have set up offices in Athens and Pireaus, centred mainly on international maritime and shipping practice areas.
Watson Farley & Williams, Norton Rose and Reed Smith have all opened in Greece. While Watson Farley and Reed Smith focus on serving clients investing into Greece, Norton Rose has attempted to branch out and develop a practice that serves both international and local Greek clients.
"Rather than being a niche practice we are an international firm with a base in Greece," says Athens-based Norton Rose partner Marie Kelly. "We now have 60 lawyers based in Greece and we don't just cover shipping finance. It's a wide range."
Norton Rose is focused on building Greek law capabilities on the ground. US firm Reed Smith has built a practice focused on life sciences clients doing deals in the Greek market.
"It was a natural progression for Reed Smith," says Greece-based partner Anthony Poulopoulos. "We have a number of US-headquartered life sciences companies that have been active in Greece."
In recent years international firms have bulked-up in Greece. In 2007, Watson Farley made a push into the energy market, hiring UK and Greek-qualified partner Virginia Murray and two associates from local firm IKRP Rokas & Partners.

Vegetarians are a third less likely to develop diverticular disease than carnivores, finds research published on bmj.com today.Dubbed a "disease of western civilisation," the condition is thought to be caused by not consuming enough fibre. Previous research has suggested that vegetarians may have a lower risk compared with meat eaters, but there has been little evidence to substantiate this.The researchers from the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford base their findings on 47,033 generally health conscious British adults who were taking part in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Oxford study. Some 15,459 said they were vegetarian. During an average monitoring period of 11.6 years, 812 cases of diverticular disease, which entailed 806 admissions to hospital and six deaths, arose.
After adjusting for influential factors such as smoking, alcohol and weight, the analysis showed that vegetarians had a 31% lower risk of diverticular disease than meat eaters and had a lower cumulative risk of ending up in hospital with the condition between the ages of 50 and 70.Furthermore, participants with a relatively high intake of dietary fibre of around 25g a day had a 41% lower risk of being admitted to hospital with, or dying from, diverticular disease than those eating less than 14g of fibre a day.But the 2000-01 UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey showed that 72% of men and 87% of women do not meet the recommended dietary fibre intake of 18g per day, meaning that the proportion of diverticular diseases in the general population cased by a low fibre diet could be considerable, suggest the authors.Their findings back public health recommendations for greater consumption of foods high in fibre such as wholemeal breads, wholegrain cereals, fruits and vegetables, they conclude.In an accompanying editorial, researchers from Nottingham University Hospital discuss the implications for the health of the population and the individual.David Humes and Joe West estimate that "about 71 meat eaters would have to become vegetarians to prevent one diagnosis of diverticular disease," based on the study results.They add: "Overall the opportunity for preventing the occurrence of diverticular disease and other conditions, such as colorectal cancer, probably lies in the modification of diet, at either a population or an individual level."
But they caution: "far more evidence is needed before dietary recommendations can be made to the general public."

Wednesday Shout Out
As the second winner of The Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize hits the bookstore shelves (future shout out, y'all) I am reminded of one of Montoya's early champions, poet Lee Herrick, founder and editor of In the Grove, where Montoya's first published poems appeared. Sadly, Montoya's only book the ice worker sings was published posthumously in 1999, a year after his premature death at the age of 31. Since then, a collective effort by writers of all stripes has kept his memory and art alive. Hence the memorial poetry prize spearheaded by Letras Latinas of the Institute for Latino Studies at Notre Dame, hence the following poem in Herrick's debut collection of poetry:
For Andrés and Eleanor
Love heals from the inside.
–Yusef Komunyakaa
Last night I left the back door open
and let the moon's breeze come over me,
and yes, I could hear you, Eleanor.
I could hear you whisper Andrés' name
into the darkening sky and call out
the ice worker and all of his songs.
This morning, when the moon was still there
begging for one more song, I crawled out
of bed and thought of you again. I wish
Andrés, that there would be one more hour
at the café. I wish
God might declare it all a joke, but
I know how much He wanted you and
how much you wanted Him, too. This is what counts.
So I'll leave you alone. I'll go now
to the sun and imagine actions of
angels, sweetened from the sun,
whispering to the moon about revolution.
The references to Montoya's book title, to his religious and political leanings, and to his fiancée, Eleanor Uribe, make this poem a personal and touching elegy that still communicates the intensity of absence even if the reader is not privy to the insider information. And I'm particularly struck by the final line that owns up to the various readings with the word "revolution": 1. the action by a heavenly body of going round in an orbit; 2. rotation; 3. a sudden, radical, or complete change.
Herrick's book is a collection of contemplations, observations and insights. From the series of "Korean Adoptee" poems (in conversation with the poet's personal identity), to the more abstract concepts of the titles "Gravity" and "Salvation," to the navigation through historically complex spaces like Fresno, California (Herrick's and Montoya's hometown), Oaxaca City and Guatemala, this poet is in constant search for solace and sanctity. And he finds them in the ubiquitous imagery that makes any place feel like home.

Comments (2)
I've never met Lee, but a few months ago he e-mailed me out of the blue to say how much he was enjoying The Wind Shifts. A very generous and warm note. And he also mentioned that he was, in fact, helping edit some sort of homage for Andrés. This post reminds me that I need to get his book, and that, I believe, the Central Valley in California continues to produce some much good poetry.
Thank you so much for this, Rigoberto. Andres was a friend of mine and of course a massive voice for poetry everywhere, and the work that Letras Latinas and others have done to keep his work with us is remarkable. Thank you, too, for the very nice words about my book. I'm honored. Peace & blessings—

KHATOON, ASIA (2008) THE IMPACT OF NUCLEAR AND JOINT FAMILY SYSTEM ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN KARACHI. PhD thesis, University of Karachi, Karachi.
The Impact of Nuclear and joint family system on the academic achievement of secondary school students in Karachi Social life is a part of human nature, who forms colonies and villages by rehabilitating themselves nearest to each other and all these together create a city. Because of various reasons society is divided in rural and urban areas. Similarly. Pakistani society is also divided in rural and urban society. Prior to creation of Pakistan, the joint family system was very much liked, but today the world social changes also affected Pakistani culture, that is why with joint family system the tendency of nuclear family system is advancing, but Pakistani society is an Islamic society which gives emphasis upon children's rights in particular. The prophet peace be upon Him when ordered to parents to edify and provide better education and moral training to their children, also asked the children to display excellent behaviour towards their parents. Earlier in Pakistan the Joint family system was enforce but nowadays because of advancement in science and industry, the tendency towards nuclear family system is advancing, The advancement of nuclear family system paves healthy effects on one side but on the other it paves unhealthy effects and all these become the root factors for destruction of a society .All these factors affect secondary school students. Therefore, the researcher felt great need and importance of this issue and intend to conduct research on the Following problem. The Impact Of Nuclear And Joint Family System On The Academic Achievement Of Secondary School Students In Karachi The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of nuclear and joint family system upon male and female students at secondary stage of education in Karachi. In addition to that some preliminary objectives were also be accomplished. In order to achieve these objectives, the researcher had arranged some important null hypotheses; few of them are as under: 1. There will be no significant difference in moral manners between male and female students relating to joint and nuclear family system. 2. There will be no significant difference in educational achievement between male and female students relating to joint and nuclear family system. The present selected problem is concerned to all Pakistani nuclear & joint family system at secondary stage male and female students but due to limited resources figures from all Pakistan cannot be collected, therefore, for research purpose, the male and female students of secondary stage education from Karachi were included who belonged to joint and nuclear family system. After a piolot study through random sampling from three towns of Karachi 71 schools were selected.528 male and female students were selected. Two hundred parents of these male and female students were also selected, (one hundred from nuclear family and one hundred from joint family). One hundred ninety teachers of these male and female students were selected, ( one hundred female teachers and ninety male teachers). As a whole survey technique was adopted and in order to collect data, questionnaire and interview schedule was arranged. After collection of data it is presented in tabulated form to assess the results. The parametric "t" test was used. In non - parametric, the Chi square was used. Percentage method was also used. It was concluded that there is relationship between family system and academic achievement of secondary school students. In the light of findings several recommendations were made for families, teachers and to improve educational system.

My current tortilla chip obsession is the Garden of Eatin' Guacamole chips. They are slightly green and perfectly salty and crunchy with a little hint of guacamole taste. I have to seriously pace myself when I have a bag of these in the house.(And just for the record, the Garden of Eatin' folks have never heard of me or my blog. I love their chips anonymously from afar. And I've had many tortilla chips in my day, so please consider this expert advice.)
Anyhow…the next time you have some leftover chicken about about 15 minutes on your hands, give this chicken salad a whirl. Shortly after I served mine up, this was all that was left.
When all that's left over is a teaspoonful of salad dressing, you know you've done good.
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 5 cups romaine lettuce, torn into small pieces
- 1 cucumber, cut lengthwise into quarters and sliced
- 3-4 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesamed seeds
- 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
- Make dressing by combining oils, juice and sugar in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake until well-combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Combine chicken, lettuce and cucumber in a large salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Add sesame seeds and tortilla chips and toss again. Serve at once.

Thats a good question Plonk. Axolotl can be over fed . A full grown axolotl, approx 25-30 cm may only 'need' feeding maybe once/ twice a week depending on how warm they are..the cooler they are the less need to feed. My juveniles which are approx 6 inches are now being fed every other day , small juveniles daily and larvae (babies)twice a day. If your future axolotl is anything like my gang it may claim to be starving and need to be fed far more. I personally feed my adult male one earth worm ( approx 8cm in length ) alternate days and his offspring are now down to one worm each alternate days..they where starting to look like moving barrels ! my youngsters especially will accept food, my adult will reject food if he is not hungry.
It will also depend on what you choose to feed your axolotl. I prefer to give live earth worm whole or chopped with occasional thin strips of raw tiger prawn, lean meat,squid, heart. The youngsters get occasional pellets so that when they are rehomed I can pass on something that I know they will eat.
Keep asking the questions...don't be put off!

Video: Obama's WHCD speech
posted at 1:50 pm on May 2, 2010 by Allahpundit
You can watch the whole 16-minute speech in high-rez at the White House's YouTube account, but since most people won't do that, I'm giving you Politico's four-minute highlight reel. They caught most of the funnier moments, but not all. Where's The One calling Michael Steele the "Notorious GOP" and saying Steele really knows "what plagues America today, taxation without representin'"? And where's this stuff?
"Speaking of undeserved honors," the president said in his stand-up routine, "a few weeks ago, I was able to throw out the first pitch at the Nationals game…. It was high and wide." FOX News reported it as the president pandering to the left wing, he said, while MSNBC declared: "President pitches a no-hitter."…
"Of course, that's not the only thing we've been accused of socialiizing this year," he said. "You might have heard we passed a healthcare bill… Some Republicans have claimed the bill includes a few secret provisions. That's ridiculous. There aren't a few secret provisions in the healthcare bill, there are like hundreds…."
Such as "The Bay State denial: This bill shall cover short-term memory loss with regard to healthcare reform. So good news Mitt, your condition is covered," Obama said aloud to one of the Republican Party's likely candidates for president in 2012, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.
The best lines: His birth-certificate jab and his goof on Leno, which made me chuckle. As for the section of the speech about Politico, CNN's camera inexplicably didn't cut away to the photoshopped Politico covers that the White House prepared for the event. If you want to see the sight gag as it was intended, go to the YouTube version of the speech up top and skip ahead to 9:00.
The worst line? Even lefties admit that they'd have gone berserk had this crack come from Bush:
"Jonas brothers are here, they're out there somewhere. Sasha annd Malia are huge fans, but boys, don't get any ideas. Two words for you: predator drones. You will never see it coming. You think I'm joking?"
Exit question: Did The One actually drop the F-bomb in his one-liner about Biden? Oh well — it's not like we've never heard him curse before.

The WHCD has been an annual event for years, and a chance for Presidents to let their hair down and try to appear more human and a bit self-deprecating, if not actually a bit more humble. I think this is a good thing because it forces otherwise self-involved "leaders" to step back long enough to have a momentarily different perspective on themselves if they are in the least bit honest about their own self-images as often projected in outlandishly manipulated ultra-wonderful lighting.
Unfortunately, Obama seems utterly incapable of humility or self-honesty in a self-awareness vein. In fact, his propensity for making deliberate publicly snarky comments aimed at everyday people or politicians or media figures who disagree with him on any level reminds me strongly of that old bromide about people who prefer to blow out other people's candles so that theirs might glow brighter.
Although I do understand that, especially in today's world with 24/7 media coverage of governmental and political and global issues and events, it takes a supremely strong personality to survive the high-intensity focus. Still, there's a huge difference between people who are self-assured and self-confident, and people who operate from a stance which consists of overblown ego and a belief in self-importance plumped up by hubris and arrogance, and supported by an army of sycophants.

Clearfield Progress (Newspaper) - February 17, 1966, Clearfield, Pennsylvania Today's Chuckle By the time you get the installments paid, the luxury you bought is a necessity. The Progress Reader's Tip 'The World Today' comments on Viet Nam war on Page 4. Vol. 60 - No. 40 Our 56th Year Clearfield, Curwensville, Philipsburg, Moshannon Valley, Pa., Thursday, February 17, 1966 14,518 Copies Daily 20 PAGES TODAY Impact of War on U. S. Economy Crowing By JACK LEFLER NEW YORK (AP) - The impact of the Viet Nam war on the American economy is growing. It hasn't reached the proportions of the Korean War, when wage and price controls were imposed, but it is very real. And it brings with it the ominous threat of inflation. Labor and material shortages are occurring and some transportation is being taxed. Government officials and business executives face prob- lems that will have to be solved as the Viet Nam conflict escalates. Liaison between government and business has become an everyday affair as the administration seeks cooperation on prices, balance of payments and availability of strategic supplies. Big orders for airplanes and helicopters are keeping the aircraft plants humming. Apparel manufacturers are having a hard time meeting government needs for uniforms. Airlines are struggling to haul vast quantities of materials and men to the war zone. The military demands are coming on lop of a booming civilian economy that has pushed factories to capacity or near capacity production. Apprehension about inflation is rising. All forecasts of stock market and economic activity are hedged by the uncertainty of the Viet Nam situation. The sensitive stock market has been jolted by talk of war and talk of peace. Recently a report of a peace feeler by North Viet Nam sent it into a brief tailspin. Commenting on the market's reaction, Eldon A. Grimm, a senior partner in the big brokerage firm, Walston & Co., said: "We are in a financial foxhole - a semiwartime market." Prudential Insurance Co. of America said stepped-up military activity in Viet Nam, coupled with growing inflation, has prompted it to revise upward its economic forecast for 1966. Prudential's chief economist, Dr. William V. Freund, now sees the 1966 Gross National Product-total of all goods and services - at $726 billion, up from a $714 - billion prediction issued last November. The 1965 Gross National Product was $676 billion, up 7.5 per cent from 1964. Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler said the Vict Nam escalation is pulling gold and dollars out of the United States at a $700-million-a-year clip. This outlay goes for troop costs, construction and purchase of supplies that cannot be obtained in the United States. Fowler said the administration is holding to its goal of trying to balance the U.S. international payments position this year but he warned that a fresh jump 'in Viet Nam costs could put the target out of reach. Fowler has quoted President Johnson as saying that the prime reason for maintaining the sales of savings bonds, on which interest has been raised, is to help meet the cost of the Viet Nam war. The secretary also said that the savings bond program could prove one of the nation's most valuable weapons in averting inflation. It seemed likely that Johnson's Great Society program might be a major victim of the war. Increases in appropriations for the domestic war on poverty ?nd other programs already have been pared. Fur- ther cuts could come if war expenditures continue to rise. In an increasing number of industries, demand-supply conditions have reached the point where r.ianufacturers have had to allocate their products among their customers to assure a fair distribution.

Trooper Anthony R. Pupo filed charges and had Selfridge arraigned before Justice of the Peace Robert Byron of Philipsburg R. D. He was committed to the Centre County Jail in default of bail. Philipsburg Police Officers Robert Trump and L. Glenn Williams helped solve the burglary that occurred at, 10:30 p. m. Sunday. A sum of between $20 and $30 was taken from the cash register after the garage was entered through a rear window. Efforts to take a car were unsuccessful. School Crossing Guards Have PoliceAuthority The Lawrence Township Board of Supervisors solved one problem several weeks ago - that of school crossing protection at the Mill Road-Race Street intersection - and now discover another exists. It appears that some persons are under the impression that the school crossing guards have no � police authority and are simply there to help little children across the highway. Not so, say the supervisors. The two women officers do have authority, including power of arrest, and are prepared to use it if motorists do not heed instructions to stop,when the crossing zone is being used "We engaged the guard's at the request of the Lawrence Township School Board and parents whose children must cross the road to attend Plymp-tonville or Third Ward Schools, as a protection for those children. Motorists and others who disregard the safety rules they were hired to enforce are subject to arrest," the super visors explained.

It began with a Morse discus sion of homefront opposition in France to the Indo-Chinese wars of a dozen years ago. Then he switched to current U.S. concerns about the strug gle in South Viet Nam. It brought this exchange: Morse: We're engaged in a historic debate in this country It isn't going to be too long be fore the American people as a people will repudiate this war Taylor: That's going to be good news to Hanoi. Morse: That's the kind of smear militarists always en gage in. I don't intend to get down in the gutter with you and engage in that kind of debate. If the people decide that this was should be stopped are you going to take the position that is weakness in a democracy? Taylor: I would take the post tion that the people are badly misguided.

Scranton served notice on political leaders in that traditionally Democratic stronghold that he will not accept any re apportionment plan that leaves Philadelphia virtually unaffected. Such a plan was presented to him on Tuesday and turned down 24 hours later with a plea to the leaders of both parties to come up with a new proposal. He declined to call a special session of the General Assembly to act on congressional reapportionment until a bipartisan agreement is reached on a plan that is both constitutional and fair throughout the commonwealth."

BOLTON VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Paul VI decreed major changes today in the centuries-old rules of fasting and abstinence for the world's Roman Catholics. Days of fasting during the pre-Easter Lenten season were reduced to two - Ash Wednesday and Goad Friday. The obligation to abstain from meat on all Fridays remains in force but children do not have to observe it until they are 14. The present age is 7. The Pope specified that Friday abstinence applies only to meat - not to eggs, dairy products and soups and gravies made with animal fat. Ash Wednesday was made a day of abstinence as well as a fast day-meaning no meat can be eaten. The Pope decreed the changes in an apostolic constitution tilled Do Penance." The new regulations were announced in Washington Wednesday night by the apostolic delegate to the United States, Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, through the National Catholic Welfare Conference. The Washington announcement said the Pope had issued new regulations for days of fast and abstinence "making them apply only to Ash Wednesday and Good Friday." "The traditional law requiring Catholics to abstain from meat on Friday remains in effect," the announcement added. "The age bracket for the law of fasting remains the same," it said, "beginning at 21 and ending with the beginning of the 60th year." Abstinence in the Catholic Church means no eating of meat.

Way Hunted To Turn Off Niagara Falls EDITOR'S NOTE - The Army Corps of Engineers is seriously looking into means of turning off the water at Niagara Falls to patch up the crumbling rock. Here is a less-than-serious look at other engineering feats still on the drawing board.) By JERRY BUCK NEW YORK (AP) - Niagara Falls has gotten a notice that its water may soon be turned off. Did they forget to pay last month's water bill? Or is it an antihoneymoon plot hatched by the likes of those who planned to blow up the Statue of Liberty? No, it's just the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The engineers are looking for a way to turn off the falls to give it a face-lifting. Rock slides, it seems, are threatening to ruin the American side of the falls.

Wednesday night President Johnson told the same group that his budget this year proposed a $10-billion investment in education and no one was even surprised. And that's the way it is in education - reality keeps gaining on the dream. It never quite catches up, and often it falls far behind, but it remains forever in pursuit.

Smith was not available for a comment. Scranton noted that Philadelphia's wards had been realign? ed iast year and said failure to reapportion the congressional districts would result in mechanical difficulties in voting. Some wards and even some precincts are now located in two districts. The governor said, in a statement, "At the time of the 1962 reapportionment, Philadelphia was ruthlessly gerrymandered. "Certainly no reapportionment plans should now be adopted which in-effect endorses and per-, petrates this discrimination." The governor's statement was accompanied by an opinion from Atty. Gen.

Sleep is the state of natural rest observed throughout the animal kingdom, in all mammals and birds, and in many reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
In humans, other mammals, and many other animals that have been studied — such as fish, birds, ants, and fruit-flies — regular sleep is necessary for survival.
The capability for arousal from sleep is a protective mechanism and also necessary for health and survival.
In mammals, the measurement of eye movement during sleep is used to divide sleep into two broad types: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.
Each type has a distinct set of associated physiological, neurological and psychological features.
Sleep proceeds in cycles of REM and NREM phases.
In humans, this cycle is approximately 90 to 110 minutes.
Each phase may have a distinct physiological function.
Drugs such as alcohol and sleeping pills can suppress certain stages of sleep.
This can result in a sleep that exhibits loss of consciousness but does not fulfill its physiological functions.
In REM, the brain is active and the body inactive, and this is when most dreaming occurs.
REM sleep is characterized by an electroencephalography (EEG) that has low voltage and mixed frequency, similar in appearance to the wakeful EEG.
During REM sleep there is loss of skeletal muscle tone, and an active sympathetic nervous system.
In NREM sleep, the body is active and the brain inactive, and there is relatively little dreaming.
Non-REM encompasses four stages; stages 1 and 2 are considered 'light sleep', and 3 and 4 'deep sleep'.
They are differentiated solely using EEG, unlike REM sleep which is characterized by rapid eye movements and relative absence of muscle tone.
There are often limb movements, and parasomnia sleep walking occurs in non-REM sleep.
A cyclical alternating pattern may sometimes be observed during a stage.

She died the last veteran of World War
Are you interested in this story?
Florence Green, the last veteran of World War which had news, has died, the nursing home where he lived. He was 110 years.
Officials of Briar House Care Home in King's Lynn, Great Britain, said that Green died Saturday, two weeks before his birthday 111.
Florence Beatrice Patterson was born in London on February 19, 1901 and joined the Royal Air Force (RAF, for its acronym in English) in the women's unit in September 1918, at age 17.
He worked as a waitress in the officers' mess at RAF Marham, in eastern England, where still worked when the war ended in November 1918. Green recalled with pleasure his service during the war.
"I met dozens of pilots and had appointments," he said in an interview in 2008. "I had the opportunity to climb one of the planes but I was afraid of flying. Would have worked every hour that God would allow me. But I had dozens of friends at the base and we had fun in our spare time. For many reasons, I had fun as ever. "
She was recognized officially as a veteran of war when a researcher found his service record in the National Archives. The RAF celebrated its 110th birthday in February 2011 with a cake.
Asked what it felt to be 110 years, Green said that "it is so different to have 109".
The last fighter known World War, the Royal Navy veteran Claude Choules, died in Australia in May last year.
After the death of Choules, Green became the only survivor of that war was aware, in accordance with the Order of the First World War, a group based in the United States that tracks veterans.

It is a dark, damp October evening, the air lies heavy with fog and I find myself loitering nervously on the Plaça Reial for a man I have been previously acquainted with only by name. Nervously, because this is exactly the sort of climatic condition and location for the set of a classical horror movie (Ancient, labyrinth-esque alleyways? Check. Isolated, gloomy and cold? Check. They didn't film Perfume here for nothing…). And with a name like Tyler McGee, I'm not entirely convinced that a spritely, clover-clad Irishman jubilantly guiding me through the Gothic quarter (as he clarifies the nuances of eighth century witchcraft and bloodshed) would be up to the job. continue reading

My name is Byron Kirk, I was born in 1986 and grew up in the small industrial town of Long Eaton on the outskirts of Derby and Nottingham, England. In 2003 with a strong sense of national pride and escalated political tensions in the Middle East, I decided to join the Household Cavalry Regiment of the British Army.
During my 8 years service, I served as a mounted ceremonial horse guard in central London and in a combat role as part of a 3 man armoured reconnaissance crew, serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
To keep myself sane during this time, I developed an interest in photography and its importance as objective evidence that what we did out there was serving a humanitarian purpose. My camera has helped me understand more about the human spirit and has given me a constructive purpose. It has helped me rest my own doubts.
In 2011 I decided that I had served my time and left to start a bachelors degree in photography at Nottingham Trent University. My 5 year plan is to become a well respected documentarian specializing in people and their own personal battlefields.
