When will my order ship?
To determine the estimated shipping time of your order, simply refer
to the production times for each item listed in the shopping cart, at
the button you submit the order with, and then in your order details
after the order has been placed. Each item lists an estimated processing
time that is required prior to shipping. If your order contains
items with several processing times, the order is shipped when all items
are completed. For example, if you have an item that requires
3-5 days and another item that requires 12-14 days, the order will ship
when the item is completed at the end of the 14 days. Processing
times are listed in "business days" which do not include weekends.
These times are estimates and not guaranteed.
When will my order arrive?
After your order leaves our location (see above for when
that occurs), the shipping company that you selected requires a certain
amount of time to transport the package from us to you. The length of
this time will depend on the service you selected. This can be checked
in your Order History in your account. Orders shipping by UPS Ground
reach most U.S. locations in under 5 days - within 1-3 for most of the
Eastern U.S. Expedited UPS services such as 2-Day and Overnight are
delivered accordingly (in business days). When using USPS, transport
times vary. Many only require a couple days, but some require closer
to 7+. USPS does not guarantee their transport times. For international
shipments, please refer to our international shipping information.
Shipping Costs
In order to provide each customer with the best shipping
options, our website provides individual shipping costs for you during
checkout BEFORE you commit to the order. US Mail and
UPS fees are displayed for all orders that qualify. Rates are displayed
according to what is in your shopping cart (used to calculate weight)
and where the order is being shipped. This allows you to review the
costs and choose the service that is best for you... all before checking
out. Once an order has been placed, changes in shipping requested by
the customer may include additional charges. Customer agrees to these
additional charges made to their method of payment used for the original
order. Such changes may include upgrades in service, redirection of
packages, as well as any other service that differs from the original
order placed and results in higher shipping related fees than charged
on the original order.
Expedited Delivery
This is a service offered by the shipping company. It defines the length of time a package is in their possession after it leaves our location and arrives at your location. Selecting such a service does alter the processing time of the order or imply an order ships on the date it was placed. The delivery service you select will be used after any order processing or production periods required for your order.
Damages, Missing Items, and Defects
If items are damaged, missing, or defective, notification must
be made to Wedding Depot within 10 days of the receipt date. Items will
be exchanged for the same item unless it is no longer available. In
such case that there are no exact replacements available, the dollar
amount of the item will be refunded to the customer. If the item is
still current, we'll happily replace the item. It will be up to Wedding
Depot whether the damaged item needs to be shipped back to us. Often,
photos of the damage can be used to complete the process.
Lost Packages
Wedding Depot relies on the tracking information
of our shipping companies to determine if packages
have been delivered. If a shipping service's
system indicates delivery and you have not received
your package, Wedding Depot will utilize tracing
services of the shipping company to locate the
package before any additional replacement shipments
can be made. This process is usually completed
in 7-10 business days and the customer agrees
to this process when they place their order.
If the package cannot be located by the shipping
company, replacements or refunds can be pursued
at that time.
Denied or Refused Delivery
If any shipment from WeddingDepot.com cannot be delivered for any reason (including but not limited to),
the customer is responsible for 100% of the original shipping fees as well as any return shipping fees by the shipping company. Some delivery companies charge for return shipments just as if it was a new shipment. If the order is to ship again per the customer's request, the original shipping fee will again be applied as it was originally on the first shipment assuming the contents remain the same. If orders are refused by the customer, they accept responsibilty for the package for the return transit to Wedding Depot which includes loss and/or damage.
International Shipments
Each country may impose import taxes or VAT (value added taxes) on their
residents. Each shipping company may also have additinoal brokerage
fees. These amounts are not calculated or collected by Wedding Depot.
If your country selects to impose this sort of tax, it is between that
country and the customer and we recommend checking the rates if you
are unfamiliar with them. The country will bill or collect that tax
amount from the customer directly as well as the any additional brokerage
fees the shipping company may impose.

A simple and efficient method to prepare synthetically useful 2-arylindoles is presented, using a heterogeneous Pd catalyst and diaryliodonium salts in water under mild conditions. A remarkably low leaching of metal catalyst was observed under the applied conditions. The developed protocol is highly C-2 selective and tolerates structural variations both in the indole and in the diaryliodonium salt. Arylations of both NH indoles and N-protected indoles with ortho-substituted, electron-rich, electron-deficient, or halogenated diaryliodonium salts were achieved to give the desired products in high to excellent isolated yields within 6 to 15 h at room temperature or 40 °C.
This thesis concerns the preparation and use of diaryliodonium salts. In Project I various unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts were reacted with three different nucleophiles in order to study the chemoselectivity of the reactions of the salts. The main focus of this project was to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying factors that affect the chemoselectivity in transition metal-free arylation reactions. They were found to be very nucleophile-dependent. Some nucleophiles were very sensitive to electronic effects, whereas others were sensitive to steric factors. Ultimately, some arenes are never transferred. A very interesting scrambling reaction was also observed under the reaction conditions, where unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts form symmetrical salts in situ.
Project II details the preparation of N-heteroaryliodonium salts via a one-pot procedure. The salts were designed so that the N-heteroaryl moiety was selectively transferred in applications both with and without transition metals. The chemoselectivity was demonstrated by selective transfer of the pyridyl group onto two different nucleophiles.
The third project in the thesis discusses the synthesis of alkynyl(aryl)iodonium salts and alkynylbenziodoxolones from arylsilanes. This protocol could potentially be a very useful complement to the existing procedures, in which boronic acids are used.
The last part of the thesis (Project IV) describes a C-2 selective arylation of indoles where diaryliodonium salts were used in combination with hetero-geneous palladium catalysis. This transformation was performed in water at ambient temperature to 50 °C, and tolerated variations of both the indole and the diaryliodonium salt. Importantly, several N-H indoles could be arylated. The MCF-supported Pd-catalyst showed very little leaching and it was demonstrated that the main part of the reaction occurred via heterogeneous catalysis.
At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Manuscript. Paper 4: Accepted.
The major part of this thesis concerns the development of catalytic methodologies based on palladium nanoparticles immobilized on aminopropyl-functionalized siliceous mesocellular foam (Pd0-AmP-MCF). The catalytic activity of the precursor to the nanocatalyst, PdII-AmP-MCF is also covered by this work.
In the first part the application of Pd0-AmP-MCF in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and transfer hydrogenation of alkenes under microwave irradiation is described. Excellent reactivity was observed and a broad range of substrates were tolerated for both transformations. The Pd0-AmP-MCF exhibited high recyclability as well as low metal leaching in both cases.
The aim of the second part was to evaluate the catalytic efficiency of the closely related PdII-AmP-MCF for cycloisomerization of various acetylenic acids. The catalyst was able to promote formation of lactones under mild conditions using catalyst loadings of 0.3 - 0.5 mol% at temperatures of up to 50 oC in the presence of Et3N. By adding 1,4-benzoquinone to the reaction, the catalyst could be recycled four times without any observable decrease in the activity.
The selective arylation of indoles at the C-2 position using Pd-AmP-MCF and symmetric diaryliodonium salts is presented in the third part. These studies revealed that Pd0-AmP-MCF was more effective than PdII-AmP-MCF for this transformation. Variously substituted indoles as well as diaryliodonium salts were tolerated, giving arylated indoles in high yields within 15 h at 20 - 50 oC in H2O. Only very small amounts of Pd leaching were observed and in this case the catalyst exhibited moderate recyclability.
The final part of the thesis describes the selective hydrogenation of the C=C in different α,β-unsaturated systems. The double bond was efficiently hydrogenated in high yields both under batch and continuous-flow conditions. High recyclability and low metal leaching were observed in both cases.
At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 4: Submitted. Paper 5: Submitted.

Surprise and disappointment accompanied the recent publication of country by country test results from the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study when Australian children unexpectedly performed poorly.
In the reading literacy test our children rated 27 out of the 49 countries tested and in the maths and science test they performed a little better at 19, but still well below the top five countries; Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
New Zealand children also disappointed, while achieving better in reading performance they rated lower than Australian children in mathematics.
When interviewed about these results, the federal Minister for Education Peter Garrett obfuscated in front of the cameras while commentators pontificated. Academics speculated on the need to improve the selection process and training of teachers, union officials expressed the view that poor performance was a consequence of teachers being underpaid and Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Australian schoolchildren will be in the top five in the international league table by 2025.
Quite clearly this is a complex issue and we have been caught unawares and none of the experts can explain convincingly why our children are way behind children in many developed and developing countries. Perhaps there are multiple causes for our comparatively poor performances, but one issue that has not been canvassed is the possibility that it is not the fault of our school system or poor teaching, but it is due to an inherent problem in the intellectual performance of our children.
It is unthinkable that our children don't have the same genetic potential as those from countries performing well above ours in the international league table. So why aren't Australian children realising their potential?
The World Health Organisation states categorically that the "commonest global cause of preventable loss of intellectual performance is nutritional iodine deficiency". Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for normal thyroid function. Moderate to severe iodine deficiency occurring during pregnancy can result in the offspring suffering from an irreversible loss of 10 to 15 IQ points. Added to that is new clinical trial knowledge from New Zealand where children having a similar degree of iodine deficiency to Australian children significantly improved school performance in IQ testing after being given an iodine supplement. But iodine supplementation during childhood will not reverse the loss of IQ from iodine deficiency during pregnancy.
Iodine deficiency is not simply a consequence of poverty and poor nutrition confined to the people of the developing world. Work practice changes in the dairy industry in Australia over the past two decades has resulted in a decrease in iodine content in milk and dairy products, and this coupled with the reluctance of consumers to purchase iodised salt for home use has seen iodine deficiency appear as a significant public health problem in Australia.
The situation has been compounded by the reluctance of the local food industry to use iodised salt in food manufacturing and processing. A national survey of schoolchildren in 2003-04 confirmed our suspicions that mild iodine deficiency had re-emerged in Australia after an absence of almost half a century. What is most worrying is that it is not only our children who are iodine deficient, but more recent surveys have shown that pregnant women are only getting about half the recommended daily intake of iodine.
Does this add up to iodine deficiency being one of the causes for our children falling behind? Who knows? It would be naive to believe iodine deficiency was the sole cause of poor scholastic performance in our children, but it may well be a significant contributory factor.
Countries performing best in mathematics – Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan – have diets that are rich in iodine.
This is not proof that iodine intake is the critical determinant of intellectual performance in these countries. However, until we ensure that the most vulnerable in our population, namely pregnant women and growing children, are getting sufficient amounts of iodine in their diet we cannot be sure that the brains of our children are being primed to achieve their genetic potential.
Food Standards of Australia and New Zealand has responded recently by mandating that all salt added in the baking of bread must be iodised. While this will improve iodine intake, and while it is too early to know if it will remedy the deficiency in children, we know that it is insufficient to fix the problem in pregnant women. This needs to be addressed as a matter of some urgency.
Until we eliminate the scourge of iodine deficiency from Australia it is likely that the intellectual performances of current and future generations will decline further when compared with countries where iodine nutrition is optimal. While implementation of the Gonski recommendations appears a long way off, there is something we can do now at very little cost.

Research and general acceptance
The anti-aging diet is one that restricts calorie intake by 30–50% of normal or recommended intake with the goal of increasing human lifespan by at least 30%. People on the diet also have improved health providing they consume adequate vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
The idea that a calorie-restrictive diet can significantly increase lifespan has been around since the 1930s. In 1935, Cornell University food researchers Clive McCay and Leonard Maynard published their first in a series of studies of experiments in which laboratory rats were fed a diet that contained one-third less calories (compared to a control group of rats) but still contained adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, protein, and other essential nutrients. This calorie-restrictive diet provided much less energy than researchers had previously thought rats needed to maintain growth and normal activities. The rats on the lower calorie diet lived 30–40% longer than the rats on a normal calorie diet. Since then, more than
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale)
2,000 studies have been done, mostly on animals, about the connection between calorie restriction and increased longevity.
A reduced calorie diet was taken a step further by the University of California, Los Angeles, pathologist Roy Walford who studied the biology of aging. In 1986 he published The 120-Year Diet and a follow-up in 2000, Beyond the 120-Year Diet in which he argued that human longevity can be significantly increased by adhering to a strict diet that contains all the nutrients needed by humans but with about one-third the calories. In 1994 he co-authored The Anti-Aging Plan: Strategies and Recipes for Extending Your Healthy Years. His anti-aging plan is based on his own research and that of other scientists. Included is his study of diet and aging conducted as chief physician of the Biosphere 2 project in Arizona in the early 1990s. Walford was one of eight people sealed in Biosphere 2 from 1991 to 1993 in an attempt to prove that an artificial closed ecological system could sustain human life. He also cofounded the Calorie Restriction Society in 1994.
Anti-aging diets are regimes that reduce the number of calories consumed by 30–50% while allowing
the necessary amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients the body needs to sustain itself and grow. This calorie restriction has been shown to increase the lifespan of various animals, including rats, fish, fruit flies, dogs, and monkeys, by 30–50%. Some human studies have also been done—and longterm studies are underway— but evidence of its impact on humans is very limited compared to results available from the animal studies. The completed studies indicate that calorie restriction can increase the maximum human lifespan by about 30%. The problem preventing scientists from offering substantive proof that humans can greatly increase their lifespan by restricting calories is that the current maximum human lifespan is 110–120 years and full compliance with the diet is difficult. A 30% increase would extend the human lifespan to 143–156. This is an exceptionally long time for a scientific study and requires involvement of several generations of scientists. Only several hundred people have ever been documented to lived past age 110 and there are only two people with confirmed documentation who have lived to at least age 120: Jeanne Louise Calmet (1875–1997) of France who lived 122 years and 164 days; and Shigechiyo Izumi (1865–1986) of Japan who lived 120 years and 237 days, according to Guinness World Records.
Since 1980, dozens of books have been published offering specific calorie reduction diets aimed at increasing lifespan. The most popular diets include the Okinawa Diet, Anti-Inflammation Diet, Longevity Diet, Blood Type Diet, Anti-Aging Plan, and the 120-Year Diet.
Calorie restriction is a lifelong approach to eating by significantly lowering daily calorie intake while still getting all the body's required nutrients. People who experience starvation or famine receive no longevity benefits since their low calorie intake contains little nutrition. The diet is believed to most benefit people who start in their mid-20s, with the beneficial effects decreasing proportionately with the age one begins the diet.
Although there are variations between anti-aging diets, most reduced calorie diets recommend a core set of foods. These include vegetables, fruits, fish, soy, low-fat or non-fat dairy products, nuts, avocados, and olive oil. The primary beverages recommended are water and green or black tea.
Guidelines on calorie reduction vary from diet to diet, ranging from a 10% reduction to a 50% reduction of normal intake. Roy L. Walford (1924–2004), author of several books on anti-aging diets, says a reasonable goal is to achieve a 10–25% reduction in a person's normal weight based on age, height, and body frame. The Anti-Aging Plan diet recommends men of normal weight lose up to 18 % of their weight in the first six months of the diet. For a six-foot male weighing 175 lb, that means a loss of about 31 pounds. For a small-framed woman who is five-foot, six-inches tall and weighs 120 pounds, the plan recommends losing 10% of her weight in the first six months, a loss of 12 lb.
Walford's Anti-Aging Plan is a diet based on decades of animal experimentation. It consists of computer generated food combinations and meal menus containing all of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Recommended Daily Allowances of vitamins and other essential nutrients using foods low in calories. On the diet, the maximum number of calories allowed is 1,800 per day. There are two methods for starting the diet: rapid orientation and gradual orientation.
The gradual orientation method allows people to adopt the diet over time. The first week, people eat a high-nutrient meal on one day. This increases by one meal a week until participants are eating one meal high in nutrients every day at the end of seven weeks. Other meals during the day are low-calorie, healthy foods but there is no limit on the amount a person can eat. After two months, participants switch to eating low-calorie, high-nutrition foods for all meals.
On his Web site (http://www.walford.com), Walford states: "Going for longevity on the Anti-Aging Plan requires caloric limitation. We advise, however, that you view this as a lifestyle change and not a quick-fix program or a diet. Any person can physiologically adapt to this level of limitation and experience no physical hunger provided that nearly every calorie eaten is a nutrient-rich calorie."
A sample one-day low-calorie, high-nutrition menu developed by Walford is:
- Breakfast: One cup of orange juice, one poached egg, one slice of mixed whole-grain bread, and one cup of brewed coffee or tea.
- Lunch: One-half a cup of low-fat cottage cheese mixed with one-half a cup of non-fat yogurt and one tablespoon of toasted wheat germ, an apple, and one whole wheat English muffin.
- Dinner: Three ounces of roasted chicken breast without the skin, a baked potato, and one cup of steamed spinach.
- Snack: Five dates, an oat bran muffin, and one cup of low-fat milk.
The three meals and snack contain 1,472 calories, 92 g protein, 24 g fat, 234 g carbohydrates, 27 g fiber, and 310 g cholesterol.
The goal of the anti-aging diet is to slow the aging process, thereby extending the human lifespan. Even though it is not a weight loss diet, people taking in significantly fewer calories than what is considered normal by nutritionists are likely to lose weight. Exercise is not part of calorie reduction diets. Researchers suggest people gradually transition to a reduced calorie diet over one or two years since a sudden calorie reduction can be unhealthy and even shorten the lifespan.
There is no clear answer as to why severely reducing calorie intake results in a longer and healthier life. Researchers have various explanations and many suggest it may be due to a combination of factors. One theory is that calorie restriction protects DNA from damage, increases the enzyme repair of damaged DNA, and reduces the potential of genes being altered to become cancerous. Other calorie reduction (CR) theories suggest:
- CR helps reduce the production of free radicals; unstable molecules that attack healthy, stable molecules. Damage caused by free radicals increases as people age.
- CR delays the age-related decline of the human immune system and improved immune function may slow aging.
- CR slows metabolism, the body's use of energy. Some scientists propose that the higher a person's metabolism, the faster they age.
The primary benefits of the anti-aging diet are improved health and prevention or forestalling diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. Studies show that most physiologic functions and mental abilities of animals on reduced calorie diets correspond to those of much younger animals. The diet has also demonstrated extension of the maximum lifespan for most life forms on which it has been tested.
A reduced calorie diet is not recommended for people under the age of 21 since it may impair physical growth. This impairment has been seen in research on young laboratory animals. In humans, mental development and physical changes to the brain occur in teenagers and people in their early 20s that may be negatively affected by a low-calorie diet.
Other individuals advised against starting a calorie-restricted diet include women who plan on getting pregnant, women who are pregnant, and those who are nursing babies. A low body mass index (BMI), which occurs with a low-calorie diet, is a risk factor in pregnancy and can result in dysfunctional ovaries and infertility. A low BMI also can cause premature birth and low birth weights in newborns. People with existing medical conditions or diseases are discouraged from reduced calorie diets. They should be especially cautious and consult with their physician before starting.
There are a wide range of risks associated with an anti-aging, reduced calorie diet. These risks include physical, mental, social, and lifestyle issues.
- Hunger, food cravings, and obsession with food.
- Loss of strength or stamina and loss of muscle mass, which can affect physical activities, such as sports.
- Decreased levels of testosterone, which can be compensated with testosterone supplementation
- Rapid weight loss (more than two pounds a week), which can negatively impact health
- Slower wound healing
- Reduced bone mass, which increases the risk of fracture
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Reduced energy reserves and fatigue
- Menstrual irregularity
- Headaches
- Drastic appearance changes from loss of fat and muscle, causing people to look thin or anorexic
Social issues can arise over family meals, since not all family members may be on a reduced calorie diet. Conflict related to the types of food served, the amount of food served and the number of meals in a day, and fasting may develop. Other social issues involve eating in restaurants, workplace food, parties, and holidays. The long-term psychological effects of a reduced calorie diet are unknown. However, since a low calorie diet represents a major change in a person's life, psychological problems can be expected, including anorexia, binging, and obsessive thoughts about food and eating.
Research and general acceptance
An anti-aging diet that restricts calories may slow the aging of the heart and lengthen lifespan, according to a study by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The small study, released in 2006, followed 25 people aged 41–65 who consumed only 1,400–2,000 calories a day for six years. Results of the study showed participants had heart functions that resembled people 15 years younger and their blood pressure was significantly lower than a control group who had a calorie intake of 2,000–3,000 per day, the amount of a normal Western diet.
A calorie-restrictive diet may reverse early stages of Parkinson's disease, according to a study released in
2005 by the Oregon Health and Science University and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Portland, Oregon. Researchers said mice in the early stages of Parkinson's disease who had their calorie intake reduced by 50% had elevated levels of glutamate, an essential brain chemical that is lost due to Parkinson's disease. Results of this study are optimistic, but further research is necessary to prove any level of effectiveness in humans.

I have a pile of reusable grocery bags from Wegmans that I don't use anymore. They sit at the bottom of the cabinet where I keep my bags. Some are ripped. Some have lost the plastic piece at the bottom that helps give them their shape. There's not good reason I haven't gotten rid of them until now, but now I have a good way to get rid of them.
The ChicoBag Repurposing Program accepts "all your tired masses of reusable bags, functional or not" and distributes them to people who need them or recycles them into new products with the help of The Grateful Thread.
The Grateful Thread takes the reusable bags that aren't in good condition and handcrafts them into items like handbags, coasters, yoga mat bags, aprons and more. The proceeds from the sale of these items benefit Schuylkill Women in Crisis, a nonprofit organization that provides free and confidential services to victims of domestic violence in rural Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
The bags you donate will directly go to help those in need, either by becoming someone else's reusable bag or being turned into an item that will ultimately benefit women in crisis. All we have to do is send our old, tired bags off to ChicoBag. The only cost to you is the price of postage.
The bags can be mailed to:

Illinois state Sen. Jason A. Barickman (R-53) on June 1 voted [against a fiscal year 2020 budget that was $5.3 billion in the red, increasing state taxes and spending by record amounts.
The higher taxes and spending fulfill campaign promises made by new Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who promised a bigger state government on the campaign trail.
Pritzker and the state's Democrat-controlled legislature negotiated a budget that increases 19 different state taxes and fees. They expect the increases to result in $6.9 billion more in tax revenue to spend.
Illinoisans who buy health insurance, gasoline, cigarettes, beer, wine, liquor, use plastic bags, own a vehicle, park a vehicle, use ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft, use video streaming services like Netflix, own an electric car or sell real estate will all pay more, beginning July 1.
Pritzker has claimed the state budget is balanced "for the first time in decades," but all independent analysis suggests otherwise.
The Illinois Policy Institute, a free market-oriented think tank, says the budget is out of balance by $1.3 billion. And independent research firm Wirepoints.com wrote that that number is even higher-- more like $5.3 billion, when one includes the budget's lower-than-required payment into state employee pensions.
The 2020 fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2020.
District 53 includes all or parts of Ford, Iroquois, Livingston, McLean, Vermilion and Woodford counties.

Sometimes the less you have, the more you make of it.
That's what happened with "The Brothers Size," the acclaimed play making its Southern California premiere Saturday at the Old Globe Theatre.
Playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney developed the 90-minute music-filled play at the Yale School of Drama in 2006 with his director and classmate Tea Alagic. They had no budget for sets or costumes, and McCraney's loosely structured script allowed great room for creativity, so they let their shared imagination run wild in a much-heralded production that put both of them on the map as fresh theatrical voices.
"I have found that even if you don't have limitations, you should make limitations, because it forces you to become more creative," Alagic said in a pre-rehearsal interview at the Globe earlier this month.
"The Brothers Size" is the second play in McCraney's The Brother/Sister Plays, a trilogy of dramas set in a poor black neighborhood on the Louisiana bayou, featuring characters inspired by deities from West Africa's Yoruban mythology. The plays mix contemporary language and characters with hip-hop music, African drumming and dance, elements of magical realism, Greek myths, Christian parables and dream sequences.
In "The Brothers Size," Ogun Size (named for the Yoruban god of iron) is an auto mechanic who welcomes home his younger brother, Oshoosi (the Yoruban warrior/free spirit), after he's released from prison. Ogun tries to keep Oshoosi on the straight and narrow, but Oshoosi can't break free from the influence of Elegba (the trickster god), a young man he met — and perhaps fell in love with — in prison, and a rivalry develops for Oshoosi's heart and soul.
When she first saw McCraney's script in 2006, Alagic said he had filled the pages with white spaces he described as pauses in the action. She decided to fill those spaces with African-style dancing and drumming. Since she had no money for costumes or sets, she stripped the show down to a bare-bones, ritualistic-style staging with bare-chested actors who created their own playing space with nothing more than a ring of sand. And she also helped develop one of most distinctive elements of McCraney's plays — where actors speak their stage directions out loud.
"I was interested in African storytelling, in how there's always an awareness that the performers are telling a story. And I thought it would be interesting for the audience to see the actors describing the action and then breaking into these characters. It's like mask theater," she said.
In an interview two months ago for a story on "In the Red and Brown Water," the first play in the Brother/Sister trilogy, which was produced in November at UC San Diego, McCraney acknowledged Alagic's influence.
"She was the first to direct 'Brothers Size,' and I think she's an amazing director," McCraney said. "She was really instrumental to giving the piece its vocabulary. I think she understands the freedom (involved). She understands that the script is (just) a list of ingredients you use to tell the story."
After the play's much-heralded debut at New York's Public Theatre, Alagic directed it several more times in much the same style at various festivals. Even when one theater offered her a big production budget for costumes, she opted for minimalism.
"I believe in theater where I can imagine things," she said. "If I can't see it, my imagination works stronger."
After the success of "The Brothers Size," McCraney went on to write the prequel, "In the Red and Brown Water" (which introduced Elegba and chronicled Ogun's doomed relationship with the barren Oya), and the sequel, "Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet" (a coming-of-age tale about Elegba's gay son, Marcus).
Alagic hasn't directed the other two plays in the Brother/Sister trilogy, but she said she is returning to "The Brothers Size" with fresh insights about the characters.
"I am discovering new things," she said. "I thought I knew it so well, but in rehearsals this week I'm understanding things I didn't before. A lot of the ideas we came up with back then were more organic, and now they make more sense. There have been a lot of exciting surprises. I am happy to work on the show again, and I hope that people will enjoy it. We always have an good time with audiences wherever it plays."

Official Logo of the company should be used. Text should also be like in the example design. This design can be used as a basis, but should be enhanced to a better design. Imperial Wijnkoperij is specialised in Austrian and German wines.
My website is: http://www.imperialwijnkoperij.nl
My logo you can find under:
Or in eps
Here an example with the text that should be on, but I want a better design than this
Here a pictures of austrian vineyards:
(it might be possible, that you can not open the last picture with explorer. It can be opened with firefox though).
It is also possible to look for pictures on the sites of my winemakers. For instance:
- Simple, clear design.
- Should communicate quality and purity.
- Pictures of vineyards or so can be used, but should refer to Austria. But it should stay simple and clear. So I am not sure if I want pictures inon or not. For all who already sent in designs: Sorry, that I was so late in reacting. I was abroad 4 days, and didn't realise that the contest is so short only. I hope some more designs will come tonight and tomorrow... Thanks !!!!

1 lb lasagna noodles
parmesan for sprinkling
for the cheese/spinach filling:
1 cup ricotta
3/4 cup chopped spinach (squeezed dry if previously frozen)
1/2 cup parmesan
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
for the bolognese sauce:
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
6 oz fresh mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 large can whole tomatoes, hand crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup parsley
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Boil the lasagna noodles until almost al dente. Arrange the boiled noodles in a single layer on cookie sheets until assembly. Meanwhile, stir together all of the cheese/spinach filling ingredients until uniform. Set aside. Then,heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the beef and brown*. When beef has browned, add the onions, garlic, carrots and mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables are soft. Add the milk and cook over high heat until the milk has evaporated to prevent the sauce from becoming acidic after adding the wine. Add the wine and continue to cook over high heat until the liquid has evaporated. Add the tomatoes and turn the heat down low. Simmer for at least 1 hour. You can cook it longer if you have the time, the flavor improves with more cooking, but an hour yields a perfectly tasty sauce. Add the parsley and cook for 5 more minutes. Ladle some of the sauce in the bottom of lasagna pan. Arrange the noodles in a single layer, overlapping as necessary. Spread with the spinach/cheese mixture and top with more sauce and another layer of noodles. Repeat until the pan is full, reserving some sauce to coat the final layer of noodle. Sprinkle with parmesan. Cover in foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake 15 additional minutes or until bubbly and hot. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.
* At this point, if you didn't use low fat ground beef, you can drain the fat and then add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/9/2009 (3847 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
And this isn't another little nip here and tuck there.
Fresh from their blockbuster deal with the Calgary Stampeders Sunday afternoon, the Bombers made another trade less than 24 hours later by acquiring quarterback Ricky Santos from the Montreal Alouettes for two Canadian defensive linemen, Riall Johnson and Shawn Mayne. Part of the fallout of that transaction was the release Monday night of QB Bryan Randall, the former Virginia Tech star who has spent the last year-and-a-half apprenticing with the Bombers.
The flurry of activity means the struggling Bombers, now 3-8, have landed four new bodies and shipped out five -- including receivers Romby Bryant and Arjei Franklin, who were sent to the Stamps -- since Sunday's 33-14 smackdown by the Als.
The addition of Santos on Monday and the deletion of Randall means the Bombers will go to war against the Toronto Argonauts this Saturday with veteran Michael Bishop backed up by Casey Bramlet, who has been here for less than two weeks, and Santos.
"There's a lot of people that believe that the two young quarterbacks in this league right now that can develop into a player are (Travis) Lulay out in B.C. and Ricky Santos, who Montreal has been grooming along for the last couple of years," Bomber head coach Mike Kelly told CJOB. "Ricky had astronomical numbers coming out of the University of New Hampshire and led a program into the NCAA playoffs that hadn't seen that level of success for a long time. He's a mature kid that's got some skill sets."
The deal did raise eyebrows in CFL circles, however, as the Bombers shipped two Canadians for a player who was languishing in Montreal and buried behind Anthony Calvillo, Adrian McPherson and Chris Leak. As well, Winnipeg's Canadian depth is already thin with Brady Browne and Steven Holness on the injured list. Also available are receiver Michael Hyman, O-lineman Lorne Plante and former University of Manitoba Bison D-lineman Justin Shaw, expected to join the team today.
That said, the Bombers desperately need to find an answer at the quarterback position with Bishop -- four touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season -- struggling. And for both Bramlet and Santos the chance to stake a claim to a starting gig here is critical. Santos, in particular, is desperate to get on the field after starring at the University of New Hampshire and trying out with the Kansas City Chiefs before heading north.
"It's a great opportunity that I couldn't pass up," Santos told The Montreal Gazette. "An athlete's a confident guy. But you can't go wrong playing any of those guys (ahead of him on the Alouette roster). I was the odd man out... Still, it was extremely frustrating, not playing or dressing."
Sunday's deal has landed the Bombers three players -- all of whom could be in the lineup against the Argos this weekend -- while helping boost the Stamps' depleted receiving corps in their run for a Grey Cup repeat.
Ryan (6-0, 190, Concordia College-Selma) has seven receptions for 111 yards and a TD this year and leads the CFL in kick-return yards with 984 yards, including a 104-yard score. Willis (6-2, 265, West Georgia) has six sacks this year as a rookie and fills the gap left by the injury to Fred Perry.
Arthur (6-4, 225, Akron) is clearly the key to the deal for the Bombers. A former first-round draft pick, he is still considered a blue-chip prospect despite a rash of injuries, including a broken foot that has kept him on the sidelines this season after a solid training camp. He is eligible to come off the nine-game injured list in time for this weekend's game.
The Bombers moved Bryant after his struggles this year had limited his production severely (20 catches for 232 yards and zero TDs) while Franklin is in his option year and had balked at re-signing a new deal. Speculation is he would like to return to southern Ontario if he should hit free agency.
"It provides us with three guys who are young and under contract for an extended time," said Kelly.
Coming and going
WR Titus Ryan
The buzz: Big-time speed; return specialist. Raw but talented.
SB Jabari Arthur
The buzz: Huge Canadian target the Bombers hope and pray could evolve into a Gerald Wilcox type.
DE Odell Willis
The buzz: Bounced around the Arena League before heading north. Has six sacks this season.
QB Ricky Santos
The buzz: A star at the University of New Hampshire, starting for the Wildcats for four years and going 37-14. A three-time Division 1-AA All-American, Santos won the Walter Payton Award in 2006 as the top offensive player in I-AA.
To Calgary
"ö WR Romby Bryant: Last year's leading receiver for the Bombers; struggled this season.
"ö WR Arjei Franklin: Likable Canadian suffered a high-ankle sprain earlier this year; scheduled to return this weekend.
To Montreal
"ö DE Shawn Mayne: Reserve Canadian and a Montreal product now heading home.
"ö DE Riall Johnson: Veteran end who has seen spot starting duty here and in Toronto.

In Stem, NC on the way to work and standing on the fringe of a cemetery. An old one with some of the dates going back to the late 1700s.
The hide itself was placed very nicely into an old tree hole with well placed bark as cover. A very eerie yet peaceful FTF. Not sure why I am attracted to cemeteries but they are fascinating. Must be something with the history that has been and the time passed.
I currently have a very cool cemetery hide myself and have received nothing but nice comments to it's Uniqueness. Its GC1NK95 "At Peace and Not To Be Forgotten" if interested.

The 630V can write BDRs at six times speed, has digital and analogue tuners, new second-gen MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoder chips as well as all the standard HDMI and analogue connections and Panasonic's Viera link for device interconnectivity. It also records to DVD. There's even a 320GB hard drive inside, capable of recording video and later letting you dub it onto BDR or VHS. You'll have to wait until October 1st for its Japanese release, though, if you're absolutely desperate to get your collection of low-res, blurry Friends VHS tapes safely transferred onto spiffy high-res BDRs. And it'll cost you around US$1,450 for the privilege. [AVWatch]

It was a sultry evening on Dominion Rd, Auckland, in 1965. A swarm of black beetles had invaded the paths in the heartland of Auckland's second-hand and bric-a-brac territory. Maybe it was a fortuitous omen. The old villas and bungalows of surrounding Mt Eden, Sandringham, Kingsland and Epsom were fertile ground for the second-hand dealers who occupied the two-storey Edwardian buildings in Balmoral, Dominion and Valley Rds. One dealer, a Dutch immigrant, had arrived in 1952 with his wife and little more than the clothes on their backs. By 1970 he claimed to be a millionaire and had emigrated to California with the proceeds of years of discoveries and bargains from the attics and cellars of local houses.
As my brother and I played "you're-a-loser-if-you-squish-a-beetle" along the footpaths, we made our way with our father to one of the first ports of call, Variety Auctions, run by another immigrant from Europe. He was knowledgeable about furniture, but not art. By the time my brother and I arrived at the door, my father was already negotiating between two and sixpence and five shillings for a large colonial landscape mounted in a crumbling gilded plaster frame. A deal seemed to be finalised surprisingly quickly, and no sooner had we arrived than we were ushered out, with my brother and I carrying out Mt Tarawera and Lake Rotoiti by Moonlight - a major oil painting by Charles Blomfield. It was worth the equivalent of at least two months' wages for my father in 1965 (about $200 then; now about $30,000), so it was a great discovery. The excitement of that find has stayed with me. It was, I guess, one of the formative experiences from which my love for buying and selling art developed ...
I have enjoyed my fair share of discoveries over the past 40 years. One of the earliest was a superb J.C. Hoyte, similar to the work View of Auckland Harbour from Mt Hobson, Remuera in the collection at the Auckland Art Gallery. I came across it in my early days of attending art auctions in Australia in the late 1970s. It was catalogued as a Scottish Highland Scene, but I recognised it as a painting of Auckland Harbour from Shore Rd in Remuera. It sold for $150, but was worth approximately $10,000 - even back then ...
In the case of the Lois White painting Poi Dance (c. 1952), having studied the artist's output I recognised it as an important work. But when I saw it in a minor auction in 1982, it had been given little credence or attention and I purchased it for $750. White (1903-83) was one of the few New Zealand figurative artists painting in the mid-20th century. This is not entirely surprising, given that both the major art competitions at the time, the Bledisloe Medal and the Kelliher Award, promoted landscape painting. Lois White taught at Elam Art School until 1963, but by the 1950s her style was considered "old school" and her religious allegories anachronistic. While her oeuvre consisted largely of stylised figurations of religious allegories, it was her painting of social commentary such as War Makers (1937) and her controversial The Fleet's In (1945) which merited the most attention.
Lois White had an eye not only for political comment, but nationalism as well. In reaction perhaps to the horrors of two world wars, by the 1950s a collective spirit, led by artists and writers, was heralding the dawn of a new age. Referring to her painting War Makers, the artist stated that "the main idea behind the composition is the injustice done to youth, by the decision of the older generation to have wars and send their sons to be slaughtered and maimed, while many grow fat on the proceeds".
There is some truth to that, but ... it was generally wise to keep them to yourself. Conscientious objectors were jailed and sent to labour camps during World War II in New Zealand. In the 1940s there was little time or demand for art, and White's intellectual paintings were in the main given no more than lip service. Consequently, there are possibly less than half a dozen works of significance.
White could be pigeon-holed as a "radical realist painter" - described by author and art connoisseur R. Haese as those who "often begin as good artists and end up as poor politicians". These works are nevertheless important, reflecting the jingoism, politics and nationalistic fervour of wartime. Poi Dance, while apolitical, I consider a truly iconic work, if not a masterpiece, and is arguably one of the most significant paintings White completed. It is not only perfectly executed, but is an enduring subject, never captured so well before or since. I once said "sentimentality has no value" when it comes to valuing art. I was wrong. Now in the collection of the Auckland Art Gallery, it would be valued at more than $75,000 ...
Doris Lusk was influenced by such artists as Rita Angus, James Cook and John Weeks. They introduced architectural elements into their compositions, such as buildings, bridges, barns and railway stations, as a contrast to the raw and mountainous New Zealand landscape. The Pumping Station is a masterpiece of simplicity and contrast, where an iconic art deco building is set against the barren foothills of Christchurch. In 1980, this work and Tobacco Fields were two of my favourite paintings. I was keen to find one, so I decided to visit Dunedin and Christchurch in the hope of tracking one down. I knew they were extremely difficult to find, if not impossible. In Christchurch after a few days of ferreting and digging around, I found that only her more recent watercolours were being shown for sale. I wasn't too worried as I had managed to pick up a couple of superb Trevor Moffitts from the Father series of oil paintings, and subsequently the drive on to Dunedin was a rather light-hearted one. There I checked out the galleries and bric-a-brac shops, picking up a few collectibles and antique toys but I had not yet turned up an early Lusk.
The next day, in scorching 35C January heat, I decided to continue the search, despite the urge to find a swimming pool. I headed to the Octagon off the main street in the city to an upstairs gallery, where there was an exhibition of recent and overworked abstracts. The gallery rooms upstairs were like an oven, but I persevered and asked the salesperson if they had any early resales of Doris Lusk in their storeroom.
"Actually, we do have one work, but it is quite old and not really in the style the artist is now practising," she said. "What is it?" I asked.
"Oh, an early oil, from 1950, of a bridge and buildings with the Port Hills in the background."
Trying to conceal my intense interest, I asked if I could take a look at it. "Yes, of course. It's somewhere in the storeroom," she said.
Minutes passed, which seemed like an eternity as I began to feel a trickle of sweat work its way from under my shirt collar. When the painting appeared, I could hardly believe my eyes. It looked almost like the long-lost pair to The Pumping Station, but was much larger - about 1000 mm long and 750 mm high. The beautifully chiselled cream-and-blue Port Hills were a superb backdrop to a bridge and buildings in the foreground. Looking slightly uninterested, I asked the price.
"Four thousand. It's an early work and very hard to get." They obviously knew it was of some value, but before a meteor, power blackout or total eclipse could strike, I asked: "Would you take a cheque?" Very accommodatingly, they did. At $4000 the painting could possibly be considered expensive for the time, when her work was selling for less than $1000 at auction. Nevertheless, I walked past the Octagon on that hot January afternoon, wearing not only a damp shirt but a smile. This painting is now in a private collection and would be conservatively valued at $75,000.

LONDON: Experts from Europe's leading cities, businesses and organizations share their views on how to transfer to cleaner, more livable cities, in a series of interviews published in the new publication Smart City Dynamics.
The publication, an initiative of HVB Communication in Amsterdam, collates sustainable strategy best practices from business professionals, city officials, professors and Smart City managers.
Focusing on energy savings and climate change, common adoption challenges steer the structure of Smart City Dynamics, and include:
The inspiring and varying interviews included in the publication come from experts at Cisco, the European Commission, IBM, London, The Hague, Valencia, Vienna and more, as well as from our own Head of Smart Technologies, Molly Webb.
When asked who should take the role in the transition to a Smart City, Molly said: "The private sector has a huge role to play, but a company's vision doesn't necessarily translate into what a city wants. We need the city's leader, whether this is the mayor or a Smart City manager, to have that vision and to create partnerships with the private sector."
Then on the expectations of a future Smart City, Molly replied: "Smart City that encourages new industries such as data analytics or telecommunications will also generate job growth in these and related industries."
"The Clean Revolution is starting to happen – with increasing investment in clean energy, for instance. We might be surprised to find that if we apply the connectivity benefits for the telecommunications and IT revolution as well, we can transform our lives for the better even beyond our expectations." Molly added.
In his interview, Bas Boorsma, Head of the Work Life Innovations Program, Cisco, mentioned the opportunity of the emerging ecosystem: "If cities want to respond flexibility to economic and technological changes in the coming years, everyone will have to change tack: the government, the business sector and citizens. Involving the latter group presents the greatest challenge. But the mindset is there. The time is ripe."
Commenting on the benefits of shared best practice in the publication's foreword, Heidy van Beurden, Author, Smart City Dynamics concludes with: "The lessons learnt from all around Europe will certainly inspire anyone who has started out on the road to Smart Cities or is about to begin the journey."

anything about variable stars
March 8, 2007
A variable star has been discoved in TrA, according to the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBET No. 867, Daniel W. E. Green, ed.):
"C. Jacques, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, reports that C. Colesanti, E. Pimentel, T. Napoleao, and he have found a previously unknown variable star on CCD images obtained in the course of the Brazilian Supernovae Survey (cf. IAUC 8482). The new object is located at
R.A. = 16h20m50s.18, Decl. = -60d23'39".5 (equinox 2000.0).
January 10, 2007
October 31, 2006
Daniel W. E. Green, Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, reports (Central Bureau Electronic Telegram 711) that S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports the discovery of a brightening star in Cassiopeia by Akihiko Tago, Ayabe, Tsuyama, Okayama-ken, Japan. Unfiltered CCD observations by Tago include October 25.538 UT, 10.7; 27.409, 10.5; 30.411, 8.8; 31.469, 7.5. Tago used a 70-mm f/3.2 lens and a Canon EOS 20Da digital camera (limiting magnitude 12).
October 26, 2006
Dan Green has asked for confirmation of a new object reported to the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams by astronomers at Crni Vrh Observatory of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Here are details:
position (2000): R.A. 03:29:12.26 Dec. +12:50:17.6 (Taurus)
magnitude: ~R magnitude ~14.9 (unfiltered CCD, approx. R magnitude)
date: Oct. 20.0 UT (4 images taken with 60-cm instrument)
When searching for a star in the International Variable Star Index (VSX) or reporting observations to the AAVSO International Database via WebObs, it is not possible to enter a Greek letter if the star has a Greek letter as part of its name – one cannot search for "µ Cep" or "ν Pav". There has been ongoing confusion about how to spell out some of the Greek letters used in star names, and in particular about how to spell out µ and ν.
RR Lyrae, 1 degree field, DSS I survey plate

From AAVSO Special Notice #172
V723 Cas was discovered by M. Yamamoto, Okazaki, Aichi, Japan, on 1995 August 24.57 UT at photographic magnitude 9.2. The finding was made using a 200-mm f/4.0 lens, PO0 filter, and T-Max 400 film. A report by G.V. Williams of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows percursory evidence of this nova located on the Palomar red plate of magnitude 18-19, as seen using the Digital Sky Survey (AAVSO Alert Notices 213, 214, 217, 218, 230; IAUC 6213).

If I Could Turn Back Time
17 comments:
I think God put me in the right century...I need running water and at least two showers a day. But I guess if I could go back and not have to live in a different era...just see it...I would want it to be a peaceful place...not sure where that would be in history? lol.

I would love to visit medieval England for a day, but only if I could carry anti-bacterial wipes with me. :-)
What I think would be really cool is to pick a spot, say a spot just to the left of Tower Bridge, and move through time, watching the coming and going of various eras.

Ireland, 1921. I want to know if my grandmother left because she wanted to see NY or because they were arresting women in the Cumman Na mBann. Next stop, Georgia (?) in 1850. I'd find Michelle Obama's six year old ancestress and tell her one day one of her descendents will live in the White House. Next stop, St. Petersburg, Russia. I'd go sometime before 1914 to see what it was like before the war and revolution and sometime between late 1916 and 1917 to see what it was like during. I would definitely leave before 1918.

I'm with you! I'd love to visit America during the turbulent Civil War. For years, I spent weekends dressed in a gown, petticoats and hoops at Civil War reenactments, while my husband and sons marched off to battle. I also love visiting Civil War sites and Gettysburg is one of my favorite destinations.

Hi Victoria,
As you know my favorite would be the opening of the American West or even Washington Territory in the 1870's. Why Washington Territory??? Women were a premium commodity. Population mostly male! Oh the romance! wink Wink.
Great blog as always. I'm wishing you much success with your new book.

- Lilly Gayle said...
I love Civil War stories and don't understand why the big NY publishing houses keep saying they don't sell. If I could visit another time, it would be post civil war. The British Victorian era, America's Gilded age or the Industrial revolution. What exciting times those must have been with so many new discoveries!
- October 21, 2010 at 8:19 PM
- Victoria Gray said...
So many fascinating time periods...Tess, like you, I like some creature comforts, so the late Victorian age would be grand...but the fighting men in the Civil War all looked so dignified in their uniforms, and their passion for a cause, regardless of which side they were on, is something that seems rare today. Keena, I agree...bacterial wipes in medieval times would be a must...
- October 21, 2010 at 8:54 PM
- Victoria Gray said...
Emma, I hadn't even thought about my personal history...my grandfather was the first child born in this country of Italian immigrants...a trip to Italy in the late 1800s might be fascinating.
- October 21, 2010 at 8:55 PM
- Victoria Gray said...
The Wild West certainly has its appeal...I adore the movie Tombstone, although to my husband's dismay, I keep drooling over Johnny Ringo instead of Wyatt Earp...gotta love the bad boys!
- October 21, 2010 at 8:57 PM
- Victoria Gray said...
Susan and Lilly,
I'm with you gals...love the Civil War era. Civil War stories would sell if they were published and effectively marketed. Maybe things will cycle back...I can hope :)
- October 21, 2010 at 8:59 PM
- Paty Jager said...
I'd love the late 1800's in the west, and I mean the true west not Texas or Kansas but the Pacific NW. Gold rushes, fertile soil to till, timber as far as you can see. That would have been a great time to live.
- October 21, 2010 at 9:43 PM
- The Barn Door said...
1880's Tombstone, Arizona. One of the last wild west frontiers. Would love to have experienced the whole OK corral, the Earps and Doc Holiday.

I have this fantasy often, but for me it isn't clearcut either - having a time travel machine on a permanent basis would be good!
I LOVE the film Back to the Future where Marty gets to see his parents in the fifties - I'd love to visit my own grandparents' house when my mum and her brothers were all small, in the 1940s! Or meet my mum as a young woman, doing her nursing training in 1950s London.
Travelling back to Palestine and seeing Jesus preach - how about that one!!
At the moment I think I'd chose Britain in Roman times though, as that's what I'm writing about. I'd take a notebook and pencil (best not to attract too much attention with a laptop, although the notebook might also cause a stir!!) and come up with fab authentic detail for my story. That has to be the historical writer's dream.
Great post!
- October 22, 2010 at 3:51 AM
- Cynthia Owens said...
Victoria, what a wonderful post! Time travel is the ultimate fantasy for historical writers - but so many times! I'm with Emma in Ireland in 1921 - what an amazing time that must have been, especially in Dublin. I'd also take Ireland in the time of the Tuatha de Danaan, and during the Famine. Fast forward to Victorian New York City, to see how America was opening up. Let's see, Montreal in the 1840's - I'd love to see my own city in such a fascinating time. And if I could, I'd pop into some of the battles of the Civil War fought by the Irish Brigade - as an observer, of course. I could go on and on, but those are enough for my first trip!
- October 22, 2010 at 7:12 AM
- Margaret Tanner said...
Great blog. The two historical eras that fascinate me the most are World War 1, and Australia in the mid 1850's.I am not sure that I would like to live during those times though. I wouldn't be brave enough to face a war, nor resilient enough to suffer the hardships of our pioneers.Maybe I could just look down from above.
- October 22, 2010 at 7:14 AM
- Aislinn said...
Where to start? I love the Civil War period. I also love the old west. But I also have a particular weakess for the Revolutionary War.
- October 22, 2010 at 8:47 AM
- Victoria Gray said...
I've always loved the Victorian era more than the Regency era, but the new Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey, Jr. pushed me over the edge to head over heels.
Civil War is also a love of mine. Growing up in Virginia, there was so much history...same with the Revolutionary War. There's something about riding a bicycle through the fields at Yorktown where George Washington defeated the British that brings a little shiver of excitement.
