Teacher Appreciation Week 2012: Gift Ideas
Celebrating great teaching and learning is at the heart of what we do at Edutopia 365 days a year, but during the month of May we launched a special "Every Day in May" campaign which featured a daily tip or idea for how you can thank a teacher. Look for strategies on how you can support educators throughout the year, inspirational projects, and tons of sincere thanks for the people who do so much for our students. So be sure to check in and tell your favorite teachers!
We also want to share a gift guide that we pulled together from December 2011 for the holiday season. It was created from a poll that asked teachers what kinds of gifts they appreciated the most:
Gift Certificates
You pretty much can't go wrong with these -- about 40 percent of respondents to our gift poll said this was their favorite. (Although one Edutopia community member got so many Starbucks cards one year that she developed a caffeine addiction.) Mix it up: Consider a coffee shop, a bookstore, an office-supply store, or a restaurant.
Thank-You Notes
Some 30 percent of our poll takers said this is what they'd most like. Teachers pull out these notes for encouragement on tough days, and they save them long after the child has left the classroom. As one community member said, "Letters don't expire, go rotten, or break. They are my favorite gift!" Another added, "Letters cost the family no money, trigger no allergies, coordinate with all home-decor schemes, and do not cause weight gain!" Be as specific as you can about what the teacher does that benefits your child. To make it even better, copy it to the principal.
Homemade Gift, Edible or Otherwise
This was the favorite gift for 11 percent of respondents to our poll. One teacher known as Mr. Tom once received a handmade cup bearing the words "Mr. Tom's cup." Mr. Tom writes, "It still hangs in my kitchen."
Donation to the Teacher's Favorite Charity
A parent named Kelly says this year she collected small contributions from each parent in her child's class, and will present news of the donation to the teacher with a homemade treat (see above!) and a card (see above again -- triple play!). Also, 7 percent of poll takers picked this as the best gift.
Gift to the Classroom, Such as Books, Supplies, or Stationery
Kathy, a parent and an Edutopia fan on Facebook, likes to ask the teacher what she'd most like to have for the classroom, and then complement it by delivering a fruit or cookie basket to the teacher's lounge. Everybody wins.
Pooled Donation to a Needy Family in the School
The kids could even get into the giving spirit here, doing household chores to earn bigger donations. The educator who suggested this says, "I have plenty of mugs, candles, and hand lotions!"
Educational Tool or Experience for Your Child (Yes, Your Own Child)
Consider a great book, game, piece of software, or field trip that will get your kid excited about learning. Maybe it's even something he or she can share with the class. If it gets the kid excited about learning, that's a real boon to the teacher.
Massage or Spa Treatment
It's what we all wish for but rarely splurge on for ourselves.
Plant a Tree in the Teacher's Honor
Pick your metaphor: growth, knowledge, and nurturance. A tree represents them all.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
'Nuff said.

Have the school choir sing a special song for staff at break time. My choir composed an appropriate set of words for international teachers day (a few years ago) to the music of 'Smoke gets in Your Eyes' and the staff felt very special. Use the creative arts to transfer the mundane. A gift doesn't have to be material. If you want to hear the song, go to
Michael Griffin (email@example.com)
that is a great idea!! i am going to pass it on to the music teacher at my school! thank you!! happy teacher's week to you!!
Thankyou!...and if you want to see the words my students wrote to 'Smoke gets in your eyes' email me firstname.lastname@example.com
Great ideas - please add Recessitate - a gift that both teachers and students will LOVE! www.recessitate.com
Happy Appreciation Month! Let's celebrate every day, all year long!
Thanks for the recommendation, Ruth. I checked out the "Recessitate" website - it's wonderful! I plan to get a set before school starts, then I'll have my kids add cards to the set! :)

How to be the World's Most Confident Woman
Alright, so that's a big promise, I know, to be the most confident woman in the world, but I know it's possible for you, otherwise I wouldn't bother writing this.
Let me just ask you: what is life like without confidence? What is the quality of your relationship without confidence? What do you achieve in your life without confidence? How do you FEEL, on a day-to-day basis without confidence? (Click here to take the quiz on "How Naturally Feminine Am I Actually?")
The answer is: crap. Confidence is everything. If you don't have unshakable confidence, then you'll probably never live your dreams. Not only that, you will find that a lack of confidence means you don't offer much value as a woman. If you know my work, you know that I talk a lot about becoming a valuable woman, but that's just too big a topic to delve in to here.
To put it simply: confidence is the difference between you getting what you want and deserve in life (whether it be that career or that special man) and you never, ever getting what you want and deserve.
Comfortable is not confident…
What you really want is to feel CERTAIN about who you are and what you stand for. We don't want 'comfortable' here, we want confidence. Feeling comfortable with yourself is just not enough. Comfortable is another way of saying 'yeah, I'm content, but as soon as something comes along that challenges me, I crumble.'
If you don't learn to develop unshakable confidence, you can't have the quality of relationship that you want, you can't achieve your dreams, and without confidence, you tend to feel more jealous and depressed than other women.
I'm sure you would agree with me when I say that the feeling of jealousy and depression is an awful way to feel. Believe it or not, some people just get used to feeling this way, and they don't know any different – but you really don't want that. And I certainly don't want you to feel this way!
Moment of truth: worse still, if you don't learn how to build confidence, you'll become less and less confident over the years, and you'll lose that spark – that beautiful radiance that confident women have. I mean real confidence, not that in-your-face, fake-ass confidence and attention seeking that comes from a place of paralyzing fear. I'm talking real, authentic, feminine pride and confidence that just draws people to you like bees to honey and gets you what you want and deserve in life.
Just quickly, what do you think confidence really is? What makes a woman confident?
Confidence really is knowing that you have high worth. As well as knowing that you have value to add.
Confidence is a feeling of certainty that lies deep within you. Certainty that you are worthy, that you will do good and/or perform well.
Now, I just want to quickly mention that we all have scenarios and things that we feel more confident with. However, there will always be situations that crop up in your life where you don't have the same level of confidence as you would in another area of your life.
The goal is not to have perfect confidence at all times, because as humans, we all fear that we are not enough; it's just about whether we live there (in that state) or not.
I'm not going to tell you to engage in positive thinking, and to keep saying to yourself that you are capable, worthy and wonderful when you're just 'saying' it, and it's just words. You may be able to keep saying 'I'm great at such and such', or 'I'm the best at such and such', and it may work for a little while, but it's not sustainable.
You need REASONS to feel confident. And more importantly, since confidence really is a feeling, you need to always be building up the feeling of confidence and draw out the confidence within you. This is what will give you a sustainable base to work with.
Confidence is built through pushing through what is uncomfortable. I don't care whether you're lacking confidence at work, or whether you lack confidence with men, it's all about pushing through what is uncomfortable so that you become better.
For example, if you feel uncomfortable and insecure around beautiful women, and you tend to prefer hanging around women who are less pretty than you are because it feels comfortable, I suggest you go and find some very attractive women to hang around. Plus, don't forget, we become who we spend our time with.
Let me ask you this: how confident are you that you can brush your teeth every night? Do you worry that you might drop the toothbrush or brush the wrong way or brush your eye instead?
What about putting on your bra?
What about tying your shoelaces? How confident are you with these things?
The reason you feel confident doing these things is because you've done it so many times that you don't even think about it. Serena Williams is totally confident hitting a ball with her tennis racquet and getting it over the net, but somebody else may not be as confident with it because they've never really done it before.
Here's what you need to do…
So here's what I want you to do: right now I want you to pick only 1 area of your life and work on becoming more confident in this area, because here's how life works: the more confident you are in one area in your life, the easier it is for that confidence to spread and influence your confidence in other areas of your life.
It's much harder to be confident in 100 different things than just one single area of your life. You just don't have the time or energy or focus on becoming really confident in 100 different things.
So we need to start with one area. It could be small, as small as tying your shoe laces (for all those who don't know…) or it could be as big as a complex dance routine.
We need to master it, because it's through mastery that we get to realize our own ability and confidence. And the way we're going to master it is through learning and taking action. Learn everything you can about it and take action so that you become competent and confident at it.
If it's putting on make-up for example, I suggest you look on YouTube for videos that will show you how to be great at putting your make up on. And then, actually put your make up on and try different looks. (read my article about going without make up)
If it's being confident speaking to people and making friends, I suggest you study communication, but MORE importantly, actually go out and start speaking to people – ANYONE, even the check-out chick or the bartender or the old man next door, to get you uncomfortable, and so that you practice connecting with people.
Confidence is you knowing that you CAN – even on a bad day. And that comes with practice and repetition.
Once you become absolutely confident in something – just one thing even, however small, that sense of certainty you develop inside of you and that confidence will transfer to other areas of your life. You'll realize that you have more confidence inside of you and you can draw it out during times when you really need it.
By the way, I am sure there are dozens of things you're confident with right now, this moment. But the reason why you're not as confident as you deserve to be or want to be is because you're not focusing on them.
So here's How…
So let's do a quick exercise.
Get out a piece of paper. I want you to write down everything that you can do confidently. I mean everything you can think of.
I really mean, everything, like…your ability to walk confidently without tripping over, or your ability to swim 20 meters without drowning. Maybe you can do a particular dance move, maybe you can cook a certain dish better than anyone else, maybe you know a little magic trick that brings a smile to people's faces every time you perform it, you probably have many other skills that you have forgotten about.
I want you to keep writing and don't stop for at least 10 minutes. Whenever you finish writing something, think of something else and write it down.
Go now and don't read the rest until you come back. (I'll hold you to it!)
Ok, welcome back. Now this will be your list that you will draw your confidence from. I want you to add to this list whenever you can and anytime you don't feel as confident as you wish to – bring this list out and read every single item on the list back to yourself. (read my article about the power of femininity)
Go through the whole list again and again and draw out the confidence that you have within you.
And remember this confidence list is something that is ever growing, it doesn't stay stagnant. And if you just keep adding to it a few times a week, you'll realise very soon that you'll become much more confident overall in every single area of your life.
And one final tip I have for you is this: I am aware that some of us don't allow ourselves the feeling of confidence even when we deserve it.
So here is the final thing I want you to do:
drop your rules. The more rules you have for feeling confident about something, the less confident you will feel. For example, you may have the rule that you have to be having a 'good day', and FEEL radiant and beautiful before you will allow yourself to feel confident. This is not sustainable! In fact, by feeling confident, you actually become that radiant!
Some people have the rule that they cannot feel entirely confident about something until they've done it 100 times. Some people feel confident about something after doing it well just once.
If you want to give yourself the gift of being confident, allow yourself to feel confident with something as soon as possible, and even when you think you "shouldn't" be confident. Always refer back to your list and draw out the confidence you have within you. Click here to get a copy of "Goddess Report" here. Also, learn the 17 Attraction Triggers by clicking this link.
OK, that's it for now. Please leave a comment below, sharing with us what you have learnt, and letting us know of your tips for becoming more confident!
By the way, can I ask you a quick favor? if you got anything out of this post, please 'like' it on Facebook or share it with a precious friend. Thank You. 🙂

America, Globalism, and the False Prophet - (Paperback)
Product Description
"America, Globalism and the False Prophet" is about the United States in prophecy and, arguably, the most important prophetic book since "The Late Great Planet Earth."
For centuries students of the Bible, scholars and theologians studied in wonder at the images of the two beasts in the 13th chapter of Revelation. Countless attempts have been made to interpret each of these symbols as they relate to human history. Over the past several decades great light has been shed on the first beast, but the second beast is little talked about or understood. It has been a mystery and lurked in the shadow of the first beast for hundreds of years. What about this second beast?
As the mounting pressure of terrorism drives the world to a climactic crescendo, two prominent Christian nations step forward to militarily, economically and politically take control for the sake of global peace. As the world faces off, is this merely the emergence of natural forces of history – or the surfacing of the second beast, the mysterious False Prophet?
"Ken Klein's new book 'America Globalism and the False Prophet' explains the symbology described in the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John, and its relevance to modern times. This is one of the finest treatises available on End Times prophecy. It will change the way you look at the Word." – Dr. Stan Monteith, M.D., host of Radio Liberty
"A provocative retracing of historical threads weaving an unfolding prophetic pattern leading to a thought provoking conclusions." – Chuck Crismier, founder of "Save America Ministries," talk show host, pastor, author
About the Author
Ken Klein is no stranger to titanic battles. As a standout college football player and former NFL professional, Klein boasts that he is the last Jewish defensive back to play in the National Football League – maybe the only one. Raised in North Hollywood around many stars in the 1950s, you would think this environment would have been the obvious catalyst to have launched his writing and film-making career, but you would be wrong. His interest in film production and writing actually came later in life, after stumbling into the writings of the ancient Biblical prophets!
Now a popular author and speaker, Klein has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows where he provokes the audience to pay attention, watch, listen and think. His books and DVDs include "Jerusalem and the Lost Temple of the Jews," "Lost Legend of the Great Pyramid: The Pillar of Enoch," "Trans-Humanism: Destroying the Barriers" and "America, Globalism and the False Prophet," which clearly deciphers deeply encrypted language in Revelation and pinpoints the world's – and history's – greatest nation, the United States, in the prophetic record.
Product Details
- Paperback: 237 pages
- Publisher: Winterhaven Publishing (2009)

Ruffled Ribbon Christmas Tree {Tutorial}
Hello all! Im soo excited, because today when I logged onto my blogger dashboard I saw that I had
Im so very excited!
Thank you all who have recently found and followed my blog, and thanks to all those who were with me from the start. :) Haha I feel a little silly getting so excited.. I mean its not like Ive got 1000 followers or anything, but that doesnt matter! 100 is still a big number, and I am very excited to have 100 people think Im interesting enough to follow! So Thank you all for making me feel so SPECIAL!!
Well it seems I have gotten a lot more followers since December rolled around. Everyone seems to like my Christmas crafts. And thats a really good thing because I have one more for you today.. and a few more projects coming!!
I made this adorable little ruffled ribbon Christmas tree a few nights ago, I think it just turned out soooo cute! So Im sharing the tutorial with you! :)
-Spool of Ribbon!
(This was a 5 yard spool... and I used ALL of it!)
- Foam Cone
-Sewing pins
(you can also use a hot glue gun.. but I was out of glue sticks! lol So the pins worked perfectly and I think I actually prefer them because I was able to un-pin the ribbon if I wanted to adjust anything)
-Needle & Thread
To start off you will thread your needle. You will want a long line of thread.
Start by weaving the needle in and out of the top of your ribbon, as shown in the picture below.
(do not cut the ribbon from spool)
Once you weave it through as much as you can, pull the needle all the way through. Then pull the thread tight and you will see it will bunch up your ribbon, and make it ruffled!
Keep doing this over and over, until you have a long amount of ribbon ruffled.
Then you can start to wrap it around your cone. Use one sewing pin and stick it through the end of the ribbon into the cone. Starting from the BOTTOM up! :) Keep adding sewing pins every so often to secure it in place as you go around the cone.
You can see I did this a little at a time. Making the ruffled ribbon, then wrapping it around the cone, then going back to ruffling the ribbon. I did this because I wasnt for sure how much ribbon it would take.
So I ruffled, then wrapped, then ruffled, then wrapped.. you get the idea. LOL
I ended up using ALL of the 5 yards of ribbon. But I could have easily used more than that, if I wanted the make the ruffles tighter.
Here it is half way to the top! At one point my thread ran out. So all I did was tie it in a knot, then cut the ribbon! Sealed it with lighter to prevent fraying. Secured it to the cone with a pin. And then started fresh with the ribbon again, after I re-threaded my needle.
Here it is all complete. When it was done, it seemed like something was missing. It needed a topper! I wanted to do something more creative.. but all I could come up with was....
A BOW! lol I figured its a ribbon tree... I could make a cute ribbon bow to put on top. So I just grabbed a small scrap piece of ribbon I had and made a pretty little bow.
Placed it on top of the tree and secured it with a pin... you can see below.
And thats it.. Simple and sooo adorable!! :)
Its up on my mantel right now.. looking all lonely... but it will have friends soon enough! LOL Ive got more to show you in the next few days. :)
Until then you can also check out my other holiday decor ideas & tutorials:
If you decide to make any of these I would soooo LOVE to see your take on them! So please post and come back and leave me a link! I could see these ruffled trees being made with pink ribbon.. how cute and girly would that be?? :) So let me see your version!
Linking up to some really really rediculously good looking linky parties for sure!!

Mytilene (Greek: Μυτιλήνη Mytilini [mitiˈlini]) is an ancient city founded in the 11th century BC. Mytilene is the capital and port of the island of Lesbos and also the capital of the North Aegean Region. The seat of governor of the North Aegean Region is Mytilene. Mytilene is also one of 13 municipalities (counties) on the island of Lesbos. Mytilene is built on the southeast edge of the island. It is also the seat of a metropolitan bishop of the Orthodox church.
As an ancient city, lying off the east coast, Mytilene was initially confined to a small island just offshore that later was joined to Lesbos, creating a north and south harbor. According to the writings of Homer, the island of Lesvos has been an organized city since 1054 B.C. The early harbor of Mytilene was united during ancient times with a channel 700 meters long and 30 meters wide. The Roman writer Longus speaks of white stone bridges linking the two sides. The Greek word Εύριπο or Euripus is a commonly used term when referring to a strait. The strait allowed ancient sail boats called Triremes, with 3 tiers of rowers or more. The boats that passed were ca. 6 metres wide plus oars and had depth of 2 meters.
The areas of the city that were densely populated connected the two bodies of land with marble bridges. They usually followed a curved line. The strait begin at the old market called Apano Skala. It was also close to Metropolis Street and ended at the Southern Harbor. One could argue that the channel transversed what is now called Ermoy Street. Over time the strait began to collect silt and earth. There was also human intervention for the protection of the Castle of Mytilene. The strait eventually filled with earth.[2]
Mytilene contested successfully with Methymna in the north of the island for the leadership of the island in the 7th century BC and became the centre of the island's prosperous eastern hinterland.[citation needed] Her most famous citizens were the poets Sappho and Alcaeus and the statesman Pittacus (one of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece). The city was famed for its great output of electrum coins struck from the late 6th through mid-4th centuries BC.[3] Mytilene revolted against Athens in 428 BC but was overcome by an Athenian expeditionary force. The Athenian public assembly voted to massacre all the men of the city and to sell the women and children into slavery but changed its mind the next day. A fast trireme sailed the 186 nautical miles (344 km) in less than a day and brought the decision to cancel the massacre.
Aristotle lived on Mytilene for two years, 337-335 BC, with his friend and successor, Theophrastus (a native of the island), after becoming the tutor to Alexander, son of King Philip II of Macedon.[4][5]
The Romans, among whom was a young Julius Caesar, successfully defeated Mytilene in 80 BC, It is historically referred to as the Siege of Mytilene.[6] Although Mytilene supported the losing side in most of the great wars of the 1st century BC, her statesmen succeeded in convincing Rome of her support of the new ruler of the Mediterranean and the city flourished in Roman times.
In AD 56, Luke the Evangelist, Paul the Apostle and their companions stopped there briefly on the return trip of Paul's third missionary journey (Acts 20:14), having sailed from Assos (about 50 km (31 mi) away). From Mytilene they continued towards Chios (Acts 20:15).
The novel Daphnis and Chloe, by Longus, is set in the country around it and opens with a description of the city.
Scholar and historian Zacharias Rhetor, also known as Zacharias of Mytilene was from Mytilene and lived from 465 to around 536. He was made Bishop of Mytilene and may have been of the Chalcedonian Faith. He either died and or was deposed around 536 and 553.[7]
The city of Mytilene was also home to 9th century Byzantine Saints who were brothers, Saint George the Archbishop of Mytilene, Saint Symeon Stylites of Lesbos, and Saint David the Monk. The Church of Saint Symeon, Mytilene venerates one of the three brothers.
Catching the eye of the Empress Zoe, Constantine IX Monomachos was exiled to Mytilene on the island of Lesbos by her second husband, Michael IV. The death of Michael IV and the overthrow of Michael V in 1042 led to Constantine being recalled from his place of exile and appointed as a judge in Greece.[8]
Lesbos and Mytilene had an established Jewish population since ancient times. In 1170 Benjamin of Tudela found ten small Jewish communities on the island.[9]
In the Middle Ages, it was part of the Byzantine Empire and was occupied for some time by the Seljuqs under Tzachas of Smyrna in 1085. In 1198, the Republic of Venice obtained the right to commerce from the city's port.
In the 13th century, it was captured by the Emperor of Nicaea, Theodore I Laskaris. In 1335, the Byzantines, with the help of Ottoman forces, reconquered the island, then property of the Genoese nobleman Domenico Cattaneo. In 1354, emperor John V Palaiologos gave it to the Genoese adventurer Francesco Gattilusio, who married the emperor's sister, Maria. They renovated the fortress in 1373, and it remained in Genoese hands until 1462, when it was captured by the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II.
Geography and climate[edit]
Mytilene is located in the southeastern part of the island, north and east of the Bay of Gera. It has a land area of 107.46 square kilometres (41.49 sq mi)[10] and a population of 36,196 inhabitants (2001). With a population density of 336.8/km² it is by far the most densely populated municipal unit in Lesbos. The next largest towns in the municipal unit are Vareiá (pop. 1,254), Pámfila (1,247), Mória (1,207), and Loutrá (1,118). The Greek National Road 36 connects Mytilene with Kalloni. Farmlands surround Mytilene, the mountains cover the west and to the north. The airport is located a few kilometres south of town. Since the 2011 local government reform, the cities and towns within the municipality changed.[11]
The province of Mytilene (Greek: Επαρχία Μυτιλήνης) was one of the provinces of the Lesbos Prefecture. Its territory corresponded with that of the current municipal units Mytilene, Agiasos, Evergetoulas, Gera, Loutropoli Thermis, Mantamados and Polichnitos.[12] It was abolished in 2006.

Mytilene has a port with ferries to the nearby islands of Lemnos and Chios and Ayvalık and at times Dikili in Turkey. The port also serves the mainland cities of Piraeus, Athens and Thessaloniki. One ship, named during the 2001 IAAF games in Edmonton Aeolos Kenteris, after Kostas Kenteris, used to serve this city (his hometown) with 6-hour routes from Athens and Thessaloniki. The main port serving Mytilene on the Greek mainland is Piraeus.
The city produces ouzo. There are more than 15 commercial producers on the island.
The city exports sardines harvested from the Bay of Kalloni and olive oil and woodwork.
Landmarks and architecture[edit]
The town of Mytilene has a large number of neoclassical buildings, public and private houses. Some of them are the building of the Lesbos Prefecture, the old City Hall, the Experimental Lyceum and various mansions and hotels all over the town.
The Baroque church of Saint Therapon dominates at the port with its impressive style.
- Ancient Theatre of Mytilene
- Archaeological Museum of Mytilene
- Castle of Mytilene
- Church of Saint Symeon, Mytilene
- Catholic Church of Theotokos, where part of the relics of Saint Valentine are kept
- Çarşı Hamam ("Market Bath")
- Ecclesiastical Byzantine Museum of Mytilene
- Folk Art Museum of Mytilene
- Monastery of Agios Raphael
- Museum of Costume and Embroidery of Lesvos
- Statue of Liberty (Mytilene)
- Theofilos Museum
- Yeni Cami, Mytilene
Archaeological investigations at Mytilene began in the late 19th century when Robert Koldewey (later excavator of Babylon) and a group of German colleagues spent many months on the island preparing plans of the visible remains at various ancient sites like Mytilene. Significant excavations, however, do not seem to have started until after the First World War when in the mid-1920s Evangelides uncovered much of the famous theatre (according to Plutarch it was the inspiration for Pompey's theatre in Rome in 55 BC, the first permanent stone theatre in that city) on the hill on the western side of town. Subsequent work in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s by various members of the Archaeological Service revealed more of the theatre, including a Roman conversion to a gladiatorial arena. Salvage excavations carried out by the Archaeological Service in many areas of the city have revealed sites going back to the Early Bronze Age although most have been much later (Hellenistic and Roman). Particularly significant is a large stoa over a hundred metres long recently dug on the North Harbour of the city. It is clear from various remains in different parts of the city that Mytilene was indeed laid out on a grid plan as the Roman architect Vitruvius had written.[citation needed]
Archaeological excavations carried out between 1984 and 1994 in the Medieval Castle of Mytilene by the University of British Columbia and directed by Caroline and Hector Williams revealed a previously unknown sanctuary of Demeter and Kore of late classical/Hellenistic date and the burial chapel of the Gattelusi, the medieval Genoese family that ruled the northern Aegean from the mid-14th to mid-15th centuries of our era. The Demeter sanctuary included five altars for sacrifices to Demeter and Kore and later also to Cybele, the great mother goddess of Anatolia. Among the discoveries were thousands of oil lamps, terracotta figurines, loom weights and other dedications to the goddesses. Numerous animal bones, especially of piglets, also appeared. The Chapel of St. John served as the church of the castle and as a burial place for the Gattelusi family and its dependents. Although conversion to a mosque after the Ottoman capture of the city in 1462 resulted in the destruction of many graves some remained. The great earthquake of February 1867 damaged the building beyond repair and it was demolished; the Turks built a new mosque over the ruins to replace it later in the 19th century.
Other excavations done jointly with the K' Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities near the North Harbour of the city uncovered a multiperiod site with remains extending from a late Ottoman cemetery (including a "vampire" burial, a middle aged man with 20 cm (8 in) spikes through his neck, middle and ankles) to a substantial Roman building constructed around a colonnaded courtyard (probably a tavern/brothel in its final phase in the mid-4th century CE) to remains of Hellenistic structures and debris from different Hellenistic manufacturing processes (pottery, figurines, cloth making and dyeing, bronze and iron working) to archaic and classical levels with rich collections of Aeolic grey wares. A section of the late classical city wall runs across the site which was close to the channel that divided the mainland from the off shore island part of the city. Considerable remains of the two moles that protected the large North Harbour of the city are still visible just below or just breaking the surface of the sea; it functioned as the commercial harbour of the ancient city although today it is a quiet place where a few small fishing boats are moored.[citation needed]
The city has two excellent archaeological museums, one by the south harbour in an old mansion and the other two hundred metres further north in a large new purpose built structure. The former contains the rich Bronze Age remains from Thermi, a site north of Mytilene dug by the British in the 1930s as well as extensive pottery and figurine displays; the former coach house accommodates ancient inscriptions, architectural pieces, and coins. The latter museum is especially rich in mosaics and sculpture, including the famous late Roman mosaic floor from the "House of Menander" with scenes from plays by that Athenian 4th-century BC playwright. There are also mosaics and finds from other Roman mansions excavated by the Archaeological Service under the direction of the archeologist Mme. Aglaia Archontidou-Argyri.
There are 15 primary schools in Mytilene, along with seven lyceums, and eight gymnasiums.[citation needed] There are six university schools with 3671 undergraduates, the largest in the University of the Aegean. Here also is the Rector, the central administration of the Foundation[clarification needed], the Central Library and the Research Committee of Aegean University. The University of Aegean is housed in privately owned buildings, in rented buildings located in the city centre, and in modern buildings on University Hill.

LOL well, . . . er, . . I didn't mean it literally! But now that you have it's a very powerful way to build chops on a string set that most guitarists are weak on. Mick Goodrich @ Berklee talks about the Unitar (playing the guitar as if it only had one string). It's kind of a weird concept but the point is that we as guitarists should work to know our instrument from every possible perspective. Don't let yourself believe or feel that you are restricted to some arbitrary group of adjacent frets. Learn the whole instrument by learning one or two strings at a time.
Yes, Arps = an abreviation for arpeggio
An Arpeggio is just the notes of a chord played over time as opposed to all at once. There are no rules, just descriptions of common constructs.
Singing the note names as you practice is very powerful. It's good that you've started doing that. A "voicing" is one specific way to play a chord. Any chord can be played in different ways. A C (major) triad could be played as x32010 or as x35553 or as x7555x or as x7x988. These are all C (major) triads but these are four of the more than 20 different voicings available on the guitar. Does that make sense? Think of the G chord you found up high on your DGB strung guitar. That an example of one of many possible voicings for a G chord.
cheers, (keep working . . and asking, . . you'll get there)

United States Patent | 5,721,931 |
Gephardt , et al. | February 24, 1998 |
A symmetrical multiprocessing system is provided that includes a central interrupt control unit. The central interrupt control unit is coupled to a plurality of processing units and to a plurality of interrupt sources. The interrupt sources include a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to a first peripheral bus, such as a PCI bus. The interrupt sources also include devices coupled to a second peripheral bus, such as an ISA bus. The central interrupt control unit is operative in two modes. In a first mode, referred to as a pass through mode, interrupts from ISA peripheral devices are provided through an interrupt controller, such as cascaded type 8259 interrupt controllers, to the central interrupt control unit. The central interrupt control unit then passes the interrupt directly to a master processing unit. PCI interrupts are provided through a PCI mapper to other available interrupt inputs of the interrupt controller. The pass through mode advantageously allows backwards compatibility of the system with traditional operating systems such as DOS. During the advanced operating mode, the central interrupt control unit causes the PCI mapper to be disabled. In the advanced mode, interrupts from both PCI devices and ISA devices are provided directly to the central interrupt control unit. Since the PCI mapper is disabled during the advanced mode, additional ISA peripheral devices may be supported within the system without contending with PCI interrupts.

I really like the look of the menu at The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, at the Ace Hotel on West 29th Street in Manhattan, especially this:
Menu hopping: The Breslin in Manhattan
10 Responses
When are we going?
pork scratchings – at once compelling and repellent.
And no TV in sight…
Nice find, What a cool bar menu. Fun, exciting, and surely delicious! The terrine board sounds like a fantastic afternoon snack!
Yum…..who is driving? I'm ready to go and EAT!
Now, THIS is food, my foodie friends.
I do love scotch eggs
What the heck is a scrumpet? Urban dictionary defines it as a "sex biscuit"…
Where can you get scotch eggs on a stick, you ask? Why every year for 12 days at the Minnesota State Fair.
I invite one and all to go to http://www.menupages.com to get the skinny on this place or any other place in Manhattan for that matter.Simply type in the name of the place. Look this place up before you make that big trip to the city.
Why? Many of the menus are not current and the reader reviews are very similar to Yelp. For general basic info it serves it's purpose but I would never base a trip to Manhattan or anywhere else on it.

As physicians search for new revenue streams in response to declining reimbursement and additional administrative complexity, a new law passed in 2013 should provide added flexibility and time to expand practices through the use of physician assistants. The health care markets continue to realign as the Affordable Care Act is implemented and if all goes as planned, there will be more patients.
(1) Physicians can supervise more physician assistants. Physicians are now able to supervise three full-time equivalent PA's. The previous limit was two. This increase can be implemented in two ways: employ one more full-time PA or by using "full-time equivalents." Under the new law, a physician can employ six half-time PA's and still be within the bounds of the law. However, the law does limit supervision to three PA's at any given time, So, if a physician employs six, only three could be working simultaneously.
(2) Physicians no longer need to be on-site. Previous law required physicians to be on-site with a PA at least 20 percent of the time. Now, physicians are never required to be on-site. This new freedom is balanced by requiring physicians, in addition to the standard review and signing of charts, to "verify the adequacy of clinical practice" of ten percent of the off-site PA's charts monthly. Exactly how physicians are supposed to "verify the adequacy of clinical practice" was not defined in the statute. Also, off-site PA's can be farther away. Previously it was a limited to 45 minutes of travel time. Now, that's extended to 60 miles from the physician's on-site location.
(3) Physician role in PA licensing has been streamlined. Previous law required the supervising physician to attend an interview with the Board of Medical Examiners during the PA licensing process. The new law has eliminated this requirement, meaning physicians can hire more PA's without taking days off for travel. However, the requirement remains for developing scope of practice guidelines. Those set forth what a PA will be allowed to do and must be approved by the BME.
(4) PA's now can prescribe Schedule II drugs in limited situations. It is important for physicians to understand what their PA can and cannot do with Schedule II. There are separate rules for oral and IV drugs. For oral Schedule II medications, a PA will be able to write initial prescriptions for no more than a 72 hour supply. Prescriptions beyond a 72-hour supply must involve consultation with a physician, who must also personally examine and evaluate the patient. For parenteral (IV) Schedule II medications, a PA can order a one-time administration of the drug within a 24-hour period only in hospital settings and only if the physician has already performed an initial patient exam and evaluation. In certain cases where the physician is unavailable due to clinical demands, the PA may order administration of the IV drug. But, this only applies in the emergency department and the physician is required to conduct a patient evaluation as soon as practicable.
These new changes will allow physicians to transform their practices. But, because the law places a priority on safe and high quality patient care, it is imperative that physicians know the limits of their ability to extended supervision responsibilities.

Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory and the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign recently reported a new technique for directly writing composites of nanoparticles and polymers.
The NRL and UIUC team developed a generic means for depositing many nanocomposites on multiple surfaces with nanoscale precision. Metal nanoparticles that were conducting, tiny magnetic nanoparticles, and nanoparticles that glowed, were all deposited using this one technique.
The technique builds on previous work using atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes as pens to produce nanometer-scale patterns. The polymer-nanocomposite blend is coated onto the probe. When the probe is heated, it acts like a miniature soldering iron to deposit the nanocomposite. "This technique greatly simplifies nanocomposite deposition," said Paul E. Sheehan, head of the Surface Nanoscience and Sensor Technology Section at NRL in Washington, D.C. "No longer do you have to spend half a year tweaking the chemistry of the surface or nanocomposite to achieve deposition."
The technique also solves a common problem when depositing soft materials like polymers and nanocomposites. The solvents and patterning procedures for depositing soft materials can damage any soft material already deposited. Consequently, it can be quite difficult to deposit many different such materials. "Our ability to control nanometer-scale heat sources allows local thermal processing of these nanocomposites," says William King, Kritzer Faculty Scholar in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This opens a door to the direct writing of highly complex structures.
Rows of nanoparticles less than 10 nm wide were written, narrower than any other direct write technique. The string of magnetic nanoparticles should be useful for studying magnetic interactions on the smallest scales. "Combining with our nanolithographic technique these tiny magnetic nanostructures can be added to current electronic or MEMS devices to enhance their capabilities." says Woo Kyung Lee.
"These capabilities and those of the other nanocomposites may find novel applications from microelectronics to biomedical devices."
The technique was published on January 13th, 2010, in the journal Nano Letters
NanoLetters - Maskless Nanoscale Writing of Nanoparticle−Polymer Composites and Nanoparticle Assemblies using Thermal Nanoprobes
Nanoparticle polymer composites containing metal, semiconductor, magnetic, and optically active nanoparticles were deposited onto multiple substrates from a heatable atomic force microscope tip. The nanoparticle nanostructures were functional as deposited or could be etched with an oxygen plasma, revealing single nanoparticle lithographic resolution. Many types of nanoparticles can be patterned with the same technique, without the need to tailor the substrate chemistry and without solution processing.

The Clinton campaign apparently believes that they should be last in line to take blame for the stunning loss to Donald Trump, placing blame squarely ...
Read Whole Story
A similarly unpleasant choice now looms before the American electorate--between Donald Trump, the xenophobic, nationalist demagogue, on one side, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the unrepentant militarist, Wall Street shill, and unindicted emailer, on the other.
Why is the media so surprised and perplexed that Bernie refuses to give up? His agenda is as clear as day: he is refusing to let the Clintons triangulate their way to the Oval Office, and dumping progressive issues along the way.
The very ferocity and coordinated nature of the attacks on Sanders makes clear that the Democratic establishment views Sanders not merely as an annoyance, but as an existential threat. And he may be, at that.
Among the top echelon of potential 2016 presidential nominees, I don't see a more effective fighter for progressive values than Elizabeth Warren. We must remember that the best chance we have to move our party forward is to nominate strong progressives.
The far more important question is how we win the bigger more consequential war that sparked this little back-and-forth this week: the war that Wall Street and the other powers that be are fighting to defeat the progressive populist ideas of our leaders and our movement.
As President Barack Obama approaches his second inaugural on Monday, he presides over a party that has largely papered over its divisions for the past...
To democrats, "the center" means being the same as corporatist Republicans: explicit, actual Republicans, but just slightly less so. This is not "the center;" this is mimicry.
The whole notion that you attract independents by moving to a mythical "center," by lowering your sights, trimming your sails, and tacking to prevailing winds needs another look.
Obama did today what Democrats should do all over the country: Cut through the right-wing misinformation and propaganda and remind people why this reform was needed
Can any rich person just move to New York and win elected office? How many of New York's elected officials does Wall Street get to control?
There's been a lot of talk about downloadable content for video games recently. There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a significant, fast growing trend here.
Obama put his persuasive power on hold while he got sucked into an insider negotiation with Congressional centrists -- and has been unable to make a morally compelling case for his agenda.
Mr. Clinton turned to Mr. From and said: "I would never have become president if it wasn't for you."
Progressive billionaires, bloggers and grassroots activists mobilized less against a conservative president than a complicit mainstream media and a Bush-enabling Democratic establishment.
This is a birthday card to James Carville, on a day when polls show most Americans rejecting the negative campaigns and the spin-mongering that he has...
In its successive drafts, the DNC party platform moved from progressive to liberal to conservative, offering clear evidence that the Democratic Leadership Council and its corporate cronies still control the Democratic Party apparatus.
Unfortunately, the coterie of cautious centrists being touted by the Obama campaign as short-listers for the vice presidential nod are hardly up to the task of taking on the Republican attack machine.
In early July 2008 Senate Republicans voted, with astounding conformity, in favor of the controversial electronic surveillance FISA bill update that w...
Those of us who want real change must hold with one hand to the absolute necessity of an Obama victory and with the other to the possibility that pragmatic cynicism may be precisely not the road to achieve victory.
Obama skipped the Democratic Leadership Council's "National Conversation" this weekend, even thought it was a block from Obama's Chicago campaign head...
So why, when in more and more districts, a vote to fund the war is a greater threat to incumbency than a vote to end it, do Hoyer and Pelosi still carry Bush's brackish water?
The end Clintonian control of the Democratic Party will be a time with many opportunities for people and organizations to jump into the openings in the power hierarchy that is forming.

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/January 25, 2011
From Wikiquote
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.

Fantastic Fest 2011 Review: Clown
When I would ask other festival goers which films they especially liked, the same title kept popping up. Clown (a Danish film directed by Mikkel Nørgaard) was the name, the mention of was often followed by fits of giggles. When I would ask what the movie was about, many times people would simply shake their heads in lieu of giving an actual, verbal answer – but the general consensus was that this was a film that could not be shown here in the States. So, after being reassured that it wasn't actually about clowns, I decided to see it.
Two friends, Frank and Casper have big plans for the weekend. They are going on a canoe trip, like you do, and also visiting a high-end bordello that brings in prostitutes from around the world and opens it's doors but once a year for it's elite sexual tourists, um…like you do. Let it be known that Casper has dubbed this venture the Tour De Pussy. Before embarking on Tour De Pussy, Frank learns that his girlfriend Mia is expecting and that she has serious doubts about Frank's potential to be a father. To put him to the test, she asks Frank to babysit her 12 year old nephew Bo for the night and let us just say that it does not go well. This – and an unfortunate, hilarious and deeply disturbing incident of confusion with Mia's mother – cause a schism between the expecting couple, one which propels Frank to act irrationally and – in a misguided effort to prove his worth as a parent – kidnaps Bo along for his weekend Tour (De Pussy). Casper, refusing to alter his plans in anyway, agrees to let the boy accompany them, thus exposing the lad to all manner of debauchery.
Clown is based on a comedy series of the same name created by Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen (who also play the exaggerated versions of themselves, Frank and Casper) and I found myself alternately cringing and making inhuman laughing sounds as I watched it. It's boundary violating, completely inappropriate, infrequently kind of heart-warming and – if you can stomach some very disturbing humor – extremely funny.
