Byzantine Temari Ball, embroidered ball; traditional Japanese folk art
Byzantine Temari Ball
Blue and bronze temari ball with slender mandala motifs
Temari balls and fine handknits by India Tresselt. www.yarndancevt.com This listing on Artizan Made links over to my shop on Etsy. You will be able to see what I have in stock there.
The Byzantine Temari Ball is a 3.5″-diameter temari ball wrapped in blue and bronze thread and embroidered in a mandala motif with blue, tan, and cream perle cotton with bronze metallic accents.
Materials: foam ball wrapped with fine wool and then thread, embroidered with metallic thread and perle cotton
Dimensions: approximately 3.5″ diameter
Temari balls are lovely alone or in a grouping, displayed in a basket or bowl, or they may be hung. If you want to hang your temari ball, please specify "with hanging loop" as an option when ordering.
Temari balls originated in China and were brought to Japan around 600 ad. Originally made from salvaged silk scraps and threads unraveled from discarded kimonos, temari balls were first used as children's toys. Later, as less expensive cotton stuffing and cotton yarns and threads became more widely available, the popularity of temari spread, and gradually they evolved into elegant decorations and ornaments. Elaborate, colorful patterns illustrating local customs or derived from nature developed, including flowers, pine needles, streams, shooting stars, fireworks, ocean waves, and fishing nets. Complex geometric designs of interlocking squares, triangles, diamonds, and pentagons are also popular. Today, a temari ball is considered a very special gift, to be presented on an auspicious occasion to a beloved friend or family member.
My temari balls are informed and inspired by traditional designs, but my use of traditional elements combined with my own color and design sense and innovations make each of my temari balls an original, unique work of art.
I am a fiber artist from the Champlain Valley of northwestern Vermont. Knitting, temari balls, embroidery, color, and fiber are my passions. My work may also be found on my website, on Facebook, and on Instagram.

Craft Project: Felt Bird Cage Ornament
Felt - blue, orange, and off white
Embroidery thread - dark brown, blue, and orange
Thread - off white
Polly fill
Sewing Needle
Right click, copy, paste, and print pattern.
1. You might need to shrink the image. Cut out two bird cages on the dotted lines in the off white felt and one bird (on the solid line) in the blue felt. Cut out a small orange triangle for the bird's beak.
2. Using a back stitch, embroider the wing on the bird with two threads from a strand of dark brown embroidery thread. Make a french knot for the eye.
3. Using a running stitch, sew the bird onto the bird cage. Using a running stitch, sew the beak on as well. Using a back stitch, embroider the legs of the bird on the off white felt (refer to picture).
4. Using a back stitch, embroider the bird cage design around the bird (refer to picture). When embroidering the top of the bird cage attach the ribbon loop on the back of the felt piece.
5. Using the thread, sew both bird cage pieces together around the edges with a blanket stitch. Leave a one inch opening. Stuff will poly fill. Sew up the opening. Done.

Mass Effect 2 DLC To Lead Into Mass Effect 3
"For the time being there's going to be a continued stream of DLC for people. We'll start to have packs that'll tell the story between Mass Effect 2 and 3," lead producer Casey Hudson told the site. "But beyond that we kind of have to see how people are responding to what we have and go from there."
BioWare has already released Mass Effect 2 DLC ranging from new party members and extra items for star Shepard to cosmetic alternative outfits for his chums--some paid and others for free via the Cerberus Network. The next release will be the $7 'Overlord' mission in June, which will reportedly keep you busy for two and a half hours.
While there's no word yet on when Mass Effect 3 will be released, EA COO John Schappert has stated that "something far-reaching from Mass Effect," is scheduled for release between January 1 and March 31, 2011. However, this could well be related to BioWare's promise that "there will be more Mass Effect in the future" other than ME 3.

Readers pick the best fish fries in Milwaukee and beyond
133 fish fries to try
Valentine's Day? Pffft. I'd say fish fry love is the serious love in these here parts.
Don't believe me? One reader keeps a ranking of 41 restaurants he's visited for fish fry (he's been to more than 50 restaurants), with useful notes on almost all of them in addition to ranking them from top to bottom. Many other readers wrote affectionate tributes not only to their favorite fish fries, but to the places and people that are part and parcel of the Friday experience in Wisconsin.
Usually as critic I make the rounds for weeks, trying to hit as many new or new-to-me fish fries as I can and recommending the best of the bunch to you on this first Friday of Lent, the kickoff to serious fish-fry season.
This year, I decided to step back and let the regulars make the recommendations (although I'll have something to say about fish fries next Friday for Round 2).
This wasn't a ranking or contest, just a request for good places to hit, from one fish fry lover to another.
Here, then, are your recommendations. I included your remarks as much as space allowed. A big thank you to all who participated: Your comments were a joy to read (or hear), and I'm glad we connected.
See this page for an interactive map of all the fish fries.
Milwaukee County
Jump to: Waukesha County | Washington County | Ozaukee County | Beyond | Church Fish Fries
Wegner's St. Martins Inn, 11318 West St. Martins Road, Franklin. (414) 425-9971. stmartinsinn.com
Get there early, almost all of this restaurant's nominators said.
"I've tried many, many other places around Milwaukee and nothing comes close to Wegner's."
"Their yellow perch is unbelievable, it's moist, sweet, flaky and has a light panko coating. Everything they serve with it is exceptional and always served piping hot."
"There's a hint of horseradish in their coleslaw and it's creamy perfection. I have never had tartar sauce like this before. I'm guessing there are capers in it, but I could bathe in the stuff!"
"I order my dinner with their excellent German potato salad and their homemade clam chowder."
"The atmosphere is classic 'Up Nort' bar-restaurant with the cozy size and knotty pine paneling. On Fridays the place always has a friendly buzz about it."
Karl Ratzsch's, 320 E. Mason St. (414) 276-2720. karlratzsch.com
"My favorite fish fry, by far. . . . The food is all excellent. It has potato pancakes (a must in my view). The atmosphere is wonderful. And the amazing bread selection . . . Plus you get a wonderful dessert selection."
Jimmy's Island Grill, at the Radisson Hotel, 2303 N. Mayfair Road. (414) 837-2121. jimmysislandgrill.com
"The wedges of fish are like cuts of beef, they're so thick. They're scrumptious. . . . The fish is sweet. It's lightly battered. . . . What's so rare is that they let you mix and match" fried, blackened and grilled fish.
Amelia's, 724 E. Layton Ave. (414) 483-0345. foodspot.com/amelias
"All-you-can-eat cod or smelt for $9.99. . . . It is nicely beer-battered and good-size portions. Second helping came out within a few minutes. Service was good, too."
Oscar's Pub & Grill, 1712 W. Pierce St. (414) 810-1820. oscarsonpierce.com
"The fish fry is perfect - three huge pieces (an extra for a buck!), the best coleslaw I have ever tasted, natural skin-on fries with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. All for the gentle price of $7.50. The service is grand and if it's nice out (next May), the deck is wonderful!"
Zak's Café, 231 S. 2nd St. (414) 271-5555 zaksdeli.com
"The fish fry at Zak's Cafe is exceptional. Served with a large potato pancake with double smoked bacon, crème fraiche, maple syrup and Merlot-glazed candied apples. Seriously, it was the very best potato pancake I've ever had! Fish is hot and fresh, just like it should be, and sides are all house-made."
Clifford's Supper Club, 10418 W. Forest Home Ave., Hales Corners. (414) 425-6226. cliffordsfinefood.com
"The fish fry by which all others are judged."
Erv's Mug, 130 W. Ryan Road, Oak Creek. (414) 762-5010. ervsmug.com
"Best overall fish fry. The festive atmosphere and courteous waitstaff provide a very delightful dining experience. The fish is exceptional as well as the wide variety of side dishes."
Alioto's, 3041 N. Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa. (414) 476-6900. aliotos.net
"In my opinion, there is no better fish fry. . . . The breading is light and crispy and not at all greasy. . . . If you go to a fish fry for really good fish, this is the place."
"They have the best fish and french fries, and we do feel quite young and carefree when we are there."
Athens Family Restaurant, 5547 N. Lovers Lane Road. (414) 462-3950.
"The best fish fry around." Comes with soup and dessert.
Café La Scala, in the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago St. (414) 223-2185. lascalamilwaukee.com
"A reliably good fish fry and friendly, efficient service."
Randy's Neighbor's Inn, 6922 W. Becher St., West Allis. (414) 545-8738.
"Could any fish fry be better or cheaper?" All-you-can-eat fish fry includes fries or German potato salad, coleslaw, rye bread and tartar sauce for $7.95 (potato pancakes extra).
Sheridan's, 5133 S. Lake Drive, Cudahy. (414) 747-9800. sheridanhouseandcafe.com
"They have a very charming environment, great service and the best potato pancakes I have ever had. You can get panko-breaded perch or beer-battered cod. They even have a shrimp option now."
River Lane Inn, 4313 W. River Lane. (414) 354-1995. theriverlaneinn.com
"The best perch fish fry, by far… It is light and delicious with a little extra something in the breading that I can't put my finger on. The price is a bit extravagant for us, but I save a visit there for special occasions throughout the year (and I'm always trying to think up more and more 'special occasions' that my husband will fall for so we can go more often!)."
Branded Steer, 1299 W. College Ave., Oak Creek. (414) 571-8672. brandedsteer-oakcreek.com
"The cod is very lightly battered. It comes with either clam chowder soup, which is the finest, or a fresh salad. You have a choice of fries or an Idaho baked potato. Just outstanding!"
Beerbelly's, 512 W. Layton Ave. (414) 481-5520. foodspot.com/beerbellys
" . . . The prices were right and the portions were more than enough to fill you up. This day out with the family took me back down memory lane to the south side of Milwaukee back in the '50s and '60s."
"Beer Belly's has the best atmosphere for a good ol' Milwaukee fish fry!"
"They have the best pan-fried walleye in the Milwaukee area. Two large filets with excellent coleslaw . . . They also have excellent pan-fried perch and blue gill. . . . It is a smaller, homey atmosphere and they make you feel welcome."
Turner Hall Restaurant, 1038 N. 4th St. (414) 763-1490. turnerhallrestaurant.com
"My husband and I are always looking for really good fish fries, and are often disappointed. The comeback of Turner Hall Restaurant and its fish fry was very welcome. The addition of their potato pancakes - yum! "
"I've been taking my 81-year-old mother to every fish fry in town on Fridays for the last two years. We've been 'reviewing' them for fun, and Turners is our favorite. . . . great historic atmosphere!"
Diamond Jim's Stoneridge Inn, 11811 W. Janesville Road, Hales Corners. (414) 425-7777. diamondjimsstoneridgeinn.com
Nominated for its fish fry overall, and for its potato pancakes and atmosphere in particular.
St. Francis Brewery, 3825 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., St. Francis. (414) 744-4448. stfrancisbrewery.com
Nominated for its perch and baked fish.
Crocus Restaurant, 3577 S. 13th St. (414) 643-6383. www.crocusrestaurant.com
"I've been going there for over 20 years and never been disappointed. The perch is lightly breaded and has an excellent taste. . . . I always get the boiled potatoes, which I like better than fries."
"After going out for a fish fry on most Fridays for over 50 years I have concluded that Crocus has the best overall fish fry."
Tess, 2499 N. Bartlett Ave. (414) 964-8377. facebook.com (search "Tess restaurant Milwaukee")
"They feature lightly breaded, crispy perch with great tartar sauce and lots of lemon; sweet potato fries with homemade ketchup; Asian slaw (yummy) and rye bread. It's now our favorite."
"The perch is consistently moist and cooked to perfection in a panko crust."
Victor'son Van Buren, 1230 N. Van Buren St. (414) 272-2522. victorsnightclub.com
"I never thought they would have a great fish fry or great food. However, it was the best fish fry I have had in Milwaukee. You also can get a baked potato with all of the fixings instead of the usual french fries or potato pancake. Their presentation is also really nice. One other thing we tried was their lobster bisque, which was fantastic. I still rave about it and tell people Victor's has the best fish fry in town, no lie."
Caterina's Ristorante, 9104 W. Oklahoma Ave. (414) 541-4200. caterinasristorante.com
"The fish fry is very lightly breaded fresh lake perch or walleye with either soup (clam chowder) or salad, french fries or mostaccioli. It is one of the very best fish fries I have ever tasted, and that includes Door County."
Coach's Pub & Grill, 5356 S. 13th St. (414) 281-8175. coachspubngrill.com
The combination platter is "out of this world," and the atmosphere is "so fun," one nominator says; recommendations made for the potato pancakes and coleslaw.
"They even have homemade potato chips that my wife loves."
"There is a community feeling of going to your neighborhood tavern - just as it was in days gone by in Milwaukee."
Steakhouse 100, 7246 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis. (414) 727-2222. steakhouse100.com
"They have plentiful portions, excellent service and a comfortable atmosphere."
Brocach Irish Pub, 1850 N. Water St. (414) 431-9009. brocach.com/milwaukee
"They serve an all-you-care-to-eat haddock. Nice breading on the fish."
SS. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 2160 Wauwatosa Ave., Wauwatosa. (414) 778-1555.
"Very under the radar, but the plaki is incredible."
Pat's Oak Manor, 1804 15th Ave., South Milwaukee. (414) 762-4660. foodspot.com/PatsOakManor
"Best potato pancakes are definitely at Pat's Oak Manor."
Open Hearth, 2930 N. 117th St., Wauwatosa. (414) 475-0839 openhearthinwauwatosa.com
"They offer many varieties of fish including cod, perch, walleye and shrimp, plus others. Preparations include deep-fried, breaded, baked, grilled. Most importantly, they offer good potato pancakes rather than the ubiquitous french fries. They also have a decent rye bread, good coleslaw and applesauce, the atmosphere is a step above most and the drinks are reasonable."
" . . . The coleslaw is sweet and sour (also, the best)."
"The feature we always recommend to friends is the huge variety of fish and seafood choices. . . . There are 12 to 15 choices every week. I almost forgot the clam chowder, best anywhere!"
The Packing House, 900 E. Layton Ave. (414) 483-5054 packinghousemke.com
"The Packing House on Layton Ave. has the BEST fish fry - always crisp - takeouts are just as good, usually a line one block long."
"After working at the Packing House for 33 years (retiring in December), I've always wanted to recommend the fish fry as the best in town. Now that I've had a few months to try the fish fries at other places, I can honestly say it is the best. Love the coleslaw, fish and potato pancakes, and you can't beat the drive-through for convenience."
"Packing House, hands down, has my favorite fish fry overall. Love the people there, love the tradition, love the taste and portions."
" . . . They make it very easy on Fridays with a drive-through window - can't beat it. It is such a generous (and delicious) portion that my husband and I can always share it."
McBob's Pub & Grill, 4919 W. North Ave. (414) 871-5050 mcbobs.com

Le Rêve Patisserie & Café, 7610 Harwood Ave., Wauwatosa. (414) 778-3333 lerevecafe.com
"The absolute best overall fish fry! Their carrot fennel slaw has the perfect crunch and is not overdressed. The homemade tartar is incredible, and their frites . . . oh, the frites! The cod was outstanding; I will be back next Friday."
Note: Because of construction, Le Reve will be closed for several weeks beginning Feb. 18.
O'Lydias, 338 S. 1st St. (414) 271-7546 olydias.com
"Best overall and best bluegill fish fry."
Cod and perch are on the regular Friday fish fry menu; smelt and haddock appear as specials. . . . my favorite (also on the regular menu) is the panko-coated bluegill (five fillets at $9.50). . . . O'Lydia's has a great atmosphere, with several rough-hewed settings that include an outdoor fenced patio in good weather."

Polonez, 4016 S. Packard Ave., St. Francis. (414) 482-0080 polonezrestaurant.com
"The hands-down best potato pancakes are found at Polonez. They are finely hand-grated potatoes with just a trace of onion and fried to perfection and not dripping grease. Nothing like the hash brown patties that other establishments try to pass off as potato pancakes. They remind me of the Polish placki my mom served on Fridays during my childhood."
Kegel's Inn, 5901 W. National Ave., West Allis. (414) 257-9999. kegelsinn.com
"Everything about the fish fry is good, taste, texture, amount, selection of potato, atmosphere. Their dumpling is out of this world. Potato pancakes are good, but I always ask for the dumpling."
"Nothing compares with fresh lake perch." The atmosphere is "authentic alt Milwaukee. . . . The number of people who stand in line to claim a reservation or come without one gives testimony to their satisfaction with dining at Kegel's on Friday evening."
The Final Approach, 4959 S. Howell Ave. (414) 744-7060
"Best potato pancakes, coleslaw and atmosphere. . . . If you get the chance, their Bloody Mary is noteworthy, too."

Puddle Jumpers Smokehouse BBQ, 4939 S. Howell Ave. (414) 482-2271 pjsbbq.com
"I've had their fish fry a couple of times now since the new owner took over, and it's really excellent. I was pleasantly surprised that my fish fry was made to order. . . . The atmosphere is basically a fast-food restaurant, but the food makes up for it."

"One fish fry that stands out as exceptionally excellent is at Pitch's Restaurant and at Miss Katie's Diner. They are sister restaurants, owned by the same family. . . . They have the best overall fish fry; they really stand out in the best beer-battered haddock, best hash brown potatoes, best coleslaw, best tartar sauce."

Jack Pandl's Whitefish Bay Inn, 1319 E. Henry Clay St., Whitefish Bay. (414) 964-3800 jackpandls.com
"Milwaukee's best fish fry! The perch is fresh and lightly breaded, the coleslaw is crunchy and fresh, the potato pancakes are perfectly seasoned, and the tartar sauce is the best ever. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with authentic German beer mugs lining the walls. What more could you ask for? This is a hidden gem."
Painted Parrot, 8028 W. National Ave., West Allis. (414) 257-1012. facebook.com/PaintedParrot
"Best potato pancakes. Usually there's a 30- to 60-minute wait on Fridays for a table. That lets you know that there's a lot of people who think the same way that I do."
"I have a hard time deciding which side to get besides the fresh coleslaw because I love the homemade potato chips with dill dip or the sweet potato fries. They serve the fish fry family style in a garbage can lid so you can share sides with family and friends."
Castillo's Restaurant, 5656 S. Packard Ave., Cudahy. (414) 482-1511.

"Nice-sized portions (not too big and not too small). Their jalapeño-infused tartar sauce is wonderful with. Potato pancakes are pretty fabulous too and go great with the tartar sauce. An unusual and flavorful red cabbage coleslaw is a nice sweet finish!"
The Irish Pub, 124 N. Water St. (414) 225-9400 theirishpub.us
"For years as many lifelong Milwaukeeans do, my husband and I, along with a group of friends, have done an annual fish fry 'tour' on Fridays during Lent where we loosely vote on the next lineup of places to try. The tour traditionally culminates with shrimp soup at El Rey's Taco Loco on Good Friday morning and often the American Legion smelt fry in Port Washington on the last Saturday.
"This tour season we're nominating the Irish Pub on Erie and Water streets in the Third Ward for their delicious ale-battered cod, thick-cut pub chips (a.k.a. fries), rye bread and homemade curry slaw.."

Batzler's Trackside Inn, 8762 N. Granville Road. (414) 354-5550.
"The Batzlers Trackside Inn has been a family tradition as long as I can remember. . . . The walleye is especially good."

American Serb Hall, 5101 W. Oklahoma Ave. (414) 545-6030. americanserbhall.com

Oakcrest Tavern, 4022 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood. (414) 967-0222. oakcresttavern.com
"Wonderful, hot deep-fried cod, delicious tartar sauce, marble rye, asparagus as we request instead of french fries or potato pancakes. Great with an ice cold beer!"
Jackson's Blue Ribbon Pub, 11302 W. Blue Mound Road, Wauwatosa. (414) 988-4485 facebook.com/JacksonsBRP
"Excellent cod and pan-fried perch (my husband gets it every time and he isn't even that crazy about perch . . . he loves it at Jackson's). Just a neighborhood bar, but the food is great!"
Griddlers Cafe, multiple locations, including 4160 W. Loomis Road. (414) 545-6565 griddlerscafe.com
"My recommendation for a great fish fry is any of the six Griddlers Cafes. The cod is lightly breaded and fried to perfection. It is served with coleslaw, buttered marbled rye bread and choice of potatoes all for $7.99. Simply delicious since the breading is light and does not cover up the taste of the fish."
The Landing, 2234 E. Layton Ave. St. Francis. (414) 483-0702 landingonlayton.com
"I have always been a fan of the 'local dive bar,' and I really think they are a hidden gem. Great food and great staff."

Slim McGinn's Irish Pub, 14735 W. Lisbon Road, Brookfield. (262) 373-1500 slimmcginns.com
"I've had all their varieties, walleye, bluegill, perch and cod. I've had them deep-fried and pan-fried. Breading is light and flavorful without distracting from the flavor of the fish."
"In my 'not so humble' opinion, Slim McGinn's West has the best fish fry hands down. Consistency is at the heart of my reasoning. You are given a very friendly greeting and apprised how long your wait will be.
"The fish is always tasty, plentiful, cooked to perfection, promptly served by the attentive staff. Slim always has some specials. The crabcakes and walleye Oscar are two of my personal favorites."

"The batter is so delicious and the fish is perfectly cooked every time. They recently started an all-you-can-eat fish fry, so that's always a plus. Their baked cod is the best I have ever had. The white wine they cook it in makes it so delicious."
"We go there every chance we get for their fish. The atmosphere is completely comfortable and has a very homey feel. . . . Potato pancakes are wonderful, and the coleslaw is also yummy."
Stolley's Hogg Alley, 2008 Venice Beach Road, Oconomowoc. (262) 646-5652 stolleyshoggalley.com
"We went with another couple for the first time to Stolley's Hogg Alley for a fish fry a few weeks ago. The dining room is small and was packed including the bar area, but we only had a half-hour wait and it was worth it.
"The deep-fried cod, $10, was all-you-could-eat or $6.50 for seniors with a smaller amount. Baked cod was also $10, $11 for Italian seasoning baked. Perch or bluegill was $11, and walleye $12.50. Included are homemade German potato salad and your choice of french fries or potato pancakes, coleslaw and rye bread. Good drinks, wonderful food and great service.

"They have hand-breaded haddock pieces, not squares of fish . . . waffle fries, too, but tater tots are a delicious option. The fish is really out of the ordinary, and the place is very friendly with lots of atmosphere. . . . A secret: They make the best brandy old-fashioned sweet in the area."

Todd's Grill & Steakhouse, 164 E. Wisconsin Ave., Oconomowoc. (262) 567-6023 todds-grill.com
"My husband and I love the fish fry. . . . Generous portions of scrumptious haddock, crispy perch, or lip-smacking bluegill may be chosen. Along with the fish, delicious coleslaw, tasty potato salad, and salted rye bread are served. There is also a choice of french fries or baked potato. However, our favorite is the homemade potato pancakes, just like Mom use to make."

The Phoenix, 129 Cottonwood Ave., Hartland. (262) 367-9020
"I would like to heartily recommend a little hole-in-the-wall named The Phoenix in downtown Hartland. A charming older couple own this little restaurant (which has a cozy down-home ambience) with the greatest fish fry we've ever had. They even have a buffet on Friday nights, with an array of seafood to offer. . . . Now that the restaurant is smoke-free, we've personally labeled this little place 'the best' in area Milwaukee fish fries."

"Highly recommend the fish fry combo platter if you are really hungry. Includes soup or salad, coleslaw, rye bread or breadsticks. They also have an excellent walleye (baked or tempura battered), along with the classic battered shrimp, cod or perch, and poor man's lobster. The Jail House's fish fry Fridays are always busy. Go early (5pm-ish) so you don't have to wait too long. They only take reservations for parties of five or more on Fridays."
Olde Mill Inn, 1953 Highway 175, Richfield. (262) 628-5080.
"Our favorites are perch, which is fried and lightly breaded, and walleye, pan-fried or blackened . . . not fishy tasting, not heavily breaded and done to perfection."
"The food is excellent, the place has a homey atmosphere and the staff goes out of their way to please you. Also, you can make reservations."
"The breaded cod is light and moist. Warm friendly atmosphere, too. My husband had the poor man's lobster (baked cod), and it was moist and delicious also. Sometimes baked cod is dried out so this was a good find. I'll try the walleye next."
The Little Red Inn, 4900 Highway 175, St. Lawrence. (262) 644-8181. littleredinn.com

"Best potato pancakes, anywhere, really!"
Alpine Retreat, 1380 Friess Lake Road, Hubertus. (262) 628-3995 alpineretreat.net
"My new favorite restaurant for fish fries is the Alpine Retreat. Starting with the cold crisp salad (who serves salad and coleslaw as part of a regular fish fry?), to the great rolls and rye bread. The beginnings were wonderful. Our fish was great - we had poor man's lobster - and the potato pancakes are the best I have ever had. It sounds like I'm gushing, but the meal is outstanding. . . . If you get to the bar around dusk, you can see the deer eating at the feeders. All in all, a memorable night."
Fox & Hounds, 1298 Friess Lake Road, Hubertus. (262) 628-1111. foxandhoundsrestaurant.com
"This restaurant has the best fish, delicious coleslaw, wonderful wait staff and a very cozy atmosphere. This is the best place for a fish fry in Wisconsin."
"The food is great and you can't beat the atmosphere. At this time of year, with snow on the ground, the wooded setting and many fireplaces make this old hunting lodge warm and inviting for a great evening."
"Best perch and walleye and best atmosphere."
"They have a wide selection - from pollock to lake perch - and genuine, homemade pancakes that are crisp on the outside and satisfying down to the last bite. The fish is lightly breaded and fried (or baked, if you prefer)."
"With all those fireplaces, it's a great place to go in winter. They serve an all-you-can-eat fish fry or fried shrimp or a combo."
MJ Stevens Pub 'n' Restaurant, 5260 Aurora Road, Hartford. (262) 644-6037. mj-stevens.com
"Best potato pancakes, best atmosphere."
"Rather than beer-battered, large pieces of fish are coated in seasoned bread crumbs - very crunchy coating. Waffle fries, coleslaw and rye bread accompany the fish."
Johnny Manhattan's, 3718 Hubertus Road, Hubertus. (262) 628-7700. johnnymanhattans.com
" . . . Great atmosphere. . . . They serve an all-you-can-eat fried or baked cod or combo with both. The fish comes with fries or potato pancakes. The meal also comes with a trio of salads: tuna mac, creamy coleslaw and a vinegar-based coleslaw. I especially like the vinegar-based slaw, because everyone serves the creamy variety."
Copper Dock, 1474 E. Friess Lake Drive, Hubertus. (262) 628-3718. thecopperdock.com
"The best perch (in my opinion) is at the Copper Dock on Friess Lake. They have a great salad bar, too. The salad bar has a wide selection including spinach salad and hot bacon dressing."

Our Place, 4721 Highway 33, West Bend. (262) 629-5005.
"We couldn't believe the light breading, great taste and generous portions. . . . Never disappointed. The bad part of nominating them is that more people will find it, making it a long wait. Right now, it's refreshingly short."
Hank's Restaurant & Drinkery, 11 S. Main St., Hartford. (262) 673-4265 673-hank.com

The Mineshaft, 22 N. Main St., Hartford. (262) 673-5416 mineshaftrestaurant.com
"Atmosphere, service, reasonable. Pollock, all you can eat, $5.99. It includes fries, coleslaw, rye bread and tartar sauce. This deal is Wednesday and Friday and takeout.

Cedar Beach Inn, 231 Cedar Beach Road, Belgium. (262) 285-3389 cedarbeachinn.com

Remington's River Inn, 130 S. Main St., Thiensville. (262) 238-2697 remingtonsriverinn.com
"One of the best fish, especially the baked."
"This fish fry harkens back to the old days of Captain's Steak House. If you like a real beer-battered fish, you can cut the battered filet in half and literally slide the fish out of the crispy coating. Great tartar (a bad tartar IS a deal breaker) and good fixin's."
Stony Hill Pub, N5423 Cigrand Drive, Waubeka. (262) 692-9592 stonyhillpub.com
"Best bluegill fish fry in the area. It is worth the drive up I-43, left on Highway 57 and two miles west of Fredonia. . . . The Friday fish fry is no less than outstanding. . . . The serving of fish is large and complemented by the best hot German potato salad in these parts. The bluegill is lightly battered and delicate in taste. A table is easily obtained if you are an early bird or lunch diner. After 6, a short wait with a cold beer and friends will gain the best fish fry in southeast Wisconsin."

Nitecap Inn, 227 S. 3rd Street, Palmyra. (262) 495-2659
"Best potato pancakes and cod around!"
"The absolute best potato pancakes are served at the Nitecap Inn in Palmyra. They are thin with crisp, lacy edges and a soft tasty center. They are fried fresh to order and arrive hot and delicious. These are awesome with syrup and applesauce. The fish is also excellent and both are all-you-can-eat. It's a bit of a trek, I know, but well worth it!"
"For $10.95 you get all-you-can-eat hot, white, flaky, moist fish, crispy potato pancakes (or french fries), homemade coleslaw, applesauce and rye bread. If you have room, dessert can be added, and their schaum torte or German chocolate cake are both homemade and delightful.
"The atmosphere is typical family dining room where the food is on the table when one is seated. Orders are taken when you enter through the bar and, as usual, by 5:30 p.m., it is elbow to elbow, standing room only in the bar. "
Yardarm Bar and Grill, 920 Erie St., Racine. (262) 633-8270. yardarmbargrill.com
"The walleye is lightly breaded with a breading recipe that the Yardarm will not divulge. The platter also comes with sand dollar potatoes (thin-cut potatoes, not french fries), coleslaw of their own making, tartar sauce and a slice of dark rye bread. This is a trip worth making if you enjoy walleye."
"I hesitate to tell anyone else about the place because there is already a wait . . . but it is the best walleye in the best atmosphere anywhere in southeast Wisconsin."
B.J. Wentkers, 230 Milwaukee Ave., Burlington. (262) 767-1514
"My current favorite (and they do change) is at B.J. Wentker's in Burlington. An upscale restaurant with authentic late-1800s appeal and a serious chef with a Milwaukee history (Heaven City), they do Friday night right. The standard all-you-can-eat fish fry was haddock on my last visit and it was served in full dinner style without the little paper cups of toxic 'big jar' tartar and much-too-sour food processor slaw.
"The fish can be visually identified as fish and is not meant to appeal to the fingers of children who know not of eating utensils. The breading is properly seasoned (Old Bay?) and the fryer oil must be quite hot to result in the slightly crunchy golden brown finished product."
The Fireside, 1131 Janesville Ave., Fort Atkinson. (800) 477-9505. firesidetheatre.com
"Jefferson County is mostly a food desert. I think the Fireside in Fort Atkinson is a great oasis. On Fridays they are open for their fish fry (chicken is also served), which is excellent.
"The fish is either steamed or deep-fried. The steamed has a hollandaise sauce, which is my preference. Accompanying the fish are two different breads that I believe are baked at the Fireside, tasty coleslaw, potato pancakes that are superior to most other restaurants' versions and wonderful vegetables. If you don't like potato pancakes, you can order french fries or boiled redskins.
"If you are seated by 5 p.m. on Friday, at the end of the meal they will offer dessert, and you want to get the warm blueberry cobbler. Dessert is included in the price - $12.95. Also, they will include coffee or tea. Such a great meal. Such a great bargain. The quality of the environment, the polished wait staff and the five-star fish fry make the Fireside a wonderful Friday destination."
The Cornerstone, 300 W. Main St., Palmyra. (262) 485-2071 facebook.com/thepalmyrabowl
"They serve fried or baked cod, generous servings. There are three sizes available, two- or three-piece, or all-you-want-to-eat. It is served with delicious coleslaw, rye bread, applesauce, tartar sauce and your choice of potato. They have wonderful homemade potato pancakes, french fries, sweet potato fries or a baked potato. A shrimp plate or a smoked baked half chicken are also available. There is usually not a long wait, they serve from 4 to 9 p.m. It is a very friendly and most enjoyable place!"
Badlanders Pub and Grill, 7922 S. Loomis Road, Wind Lake. (262) 895-7300 badlanders.net
In addition to cod or perch fry, "the Friday fish menu varies every week. One week it could be shrimp scampi, the next week might offer grouper with a side of rice pilaf. Seared tuna with garlic mashed. Tilapia with couscous, mahi-mahi with pineapple rice. Fish tacos with black beans. There are at least four or five different entrees to pick from every Friday. . . .
"The only drawback is the wait on Friday. Although, if you go early enough the wait isn't too bad."

Sandpiper Inn, W2992 Elmore Drive, Campbellsport. (920) 533-4471
"The very best coleslaw, and I'm a fan of the sweet-sour type, is made and served at the Sandpiper Inn. Tangy, sweet, crunchy and oh, so-o-o-o good."
Dockside on Lake Beulah, N9228 E. Shore Road, East Troy. (262) 642-5264. docksideonbeulah.com
"It is batter-fried fillets, not chunks, and has a little sprinkle of seasoning that is a secret. It is a very big portion and more than ample for the average person."
"Since I've moved from Milwaukee to Whitewater a few years ago," another reader writes, "it was hard to get used to the much more limited restaurant choices - that is, until we started checking out the fish fry options. Every single one I've tried in the area beats the best of the ones I've had in Milwaukee, and I still have a laundry list of places to check out." Her recommendations:
Rick's Eastside Pub & Grill, 561 E. Milwaukee St., Whitewater. (262) 473-9879
"I think overall Rick's Eastside Pub has the best fish and potato pancake . . . crispy on the outside, really creamy on the inside, and a good amount of onion flavor" and the best perch.
Wayside Inn, W4820 U.S. Highway 18, Jefferson. (920) 674-6766.
"Best bluegill" and "fresh-baked rye bread."
Duck Inn, N6214 Highway 89, Delavan. (608) 883-6988 duckinndelevan.com
"Best smelt" and "best atmosphere. . . . You can't beat the classic supper club experience. Start the meal with a brandy old-fashioned and end it with a nice, thick brandy Alexander."
Squidy's, 102 N. 2nd St., Palmyra. (262) 495-2588 facebook.com/squidys
"Best coleslaw. . . . They have a whole salad bar of Wisconsin-style salads - you won't find any lettuce!" Also recommended for the fresh rye.

Visualizing Chemistry: The Progress and Promise of Advanced Chemical Imaging
Scientists and engineers have long relied on the power of imaging techniques to help see objects invisible to the naked eye, and thus, to advance scientific knowledge. These experts are constantly pushing the limits of technology in pursuit of chemical imaging--the ability to visualize molecular structures and chemical composition in time and space as actual events unfold--from the smallest dimension of a biological system to the widest expanse of a distant galaxy. Chemical imaging has a variety of applications for almost every facet of our daily lives, ranging from medical diagnosis and treatment to the study and design of material properties in new products. To continue receiving benefits from these technologies, sustained efforts are needed to facilitate understanding and manipulation of complex chemical structures and processes. By linking technological advances in chemical imaging with a science-based approach to using these new capabilities, it is likely that fundamental breakthroughs in our understanding of basic chemical processes in biology, the environment, and human creations will be achieved. This report reviews the current state of chemical imaging technology, identifies promising future developments and their applications, and suggests a research and educational agenda to enable breakthrough improvements.

1. Lakeview Methodist Camp, Now Lakeview Methodist Conference Center, Near Palestine, TX, in east TX
Rain was quite a bit warmer in Texas than it is in Washington State. The screening kept quite a bit of the rain out. I checked it out with campers lucky enough to get into one of the screened cabins. I never made it to one.
The consequences that I learned to deal with at Lakeview, were getting my shoes on safely in the mornings by first checking them out by thumping them vigorously in case any lizards, centipedes, or scorpions had crawled into them for warmth during the night, getting a top bunk because that was always safer than having inexperienced campers climb into beds stepping all over you in the bottom bunks and dropping covers and things on you in the night, and keeping my suitcase closed, for the same reasons as the shoes.
I never came in close contact with any of the creeping crawly monsters, but the stories of them kept me on my checking routine. I often found, kept, and cared for a pet lizard during camp, even took it home afterward. It seemed to be the rage for a while, with whole fleets of lizards migrating to Houston from central Texas at the close of camp.
The lizards were tied to a button on our blouses by thick thread or small twine. It was important to let them down for grass and to find them insects to eat. I wondered what lizards really ate and if we took care of them enough for them to live. I know that many mothers, mine included, probably returned many pets to the wild. My favorite ones were the bright yellow green ones instead of the commoner greenish brown ones. Chartreuse is still a favorite color. Those lizards were definitely more vibrant than their dull counterparts.
|A Hawk and Pine Tree at Lakeview
I loved all the activities and routine of camp, and wonder now at the variety of experiences that we were given there. It was there that I first learned to braid in several patterns, both leather and plastic, into key rings, long strips, and now a variety of art adornments. I first worked with metal, pounding designs into flat trays and even once learning to pound a small bowl out of thin copper. I still work in copper. I thought that going to the craft building was fascinating, and even though I can't clearly remember any of the teachers, they gave me an array of skills and enjoyment that were amazing. I remember that we took home what we made, key rings, lanyards, small purses, trays, and one bowl.
One of my stranger clear memories is of breakfast. At home we often had scrambled eggs, toast, hot oatmeal, and occasionally pancakes and maple syrup. My mother always cooked for us, having food ready at each meal. As I have grown older and talked with other friends about what their homes were like, I have come to wonder at how consistently and well we ate.
With little appreciation of the feasts at home, I eagerly looked forward to church camp for those small boxes of cereal that could be opened with two flaps on the side and placed on the table like a small rectangular box bowl. I loved to pour milk into the cardboard boxes. I felt like both a real pioneer and lucky beyond belief. I thought that explorers or rugged campers took cereal boxes along. All those choices! There were 20+ kinds of cereal, things I seldom saw, except at the store. Amazing! Even now, at age 68, when I see the small boxes at the grocery, I think of camp. Breakfast like that was a rare treat.
The clearest sense that I have of camp is of the music and singing. I always loved to listen to voices singing in harmony and to people who could sing well. It seemed that many people who went to camp were amazingly talented. My older sister, Linda, was one of those, and my daddy was another, who often sang solos at camp, as he did in church at Sunday night service from time to time. I could always hear their voices and recognize them. Then I would listen for others, blending into the harmony that hymns give, and the other songs that we sang. I have always enjoyed singing, and could read music and hit most of the right notes, but my sister and father had really memorable voices. Sometimes, I would just listen.
|Beautiful trees in all seasons at Lakeview
The nature hikes were led by people who now come to me as if they were Henry David Thoreau or John Muir at the least. We walked through the woods, especially around the lake, listening to birds, sketching them, watching insects, noting their sounds, gathering leaves, bark, berries, flowers and grasses. We kept notebooks to see how the next day's hike compared.
2. Devil's Canyon Methodist Church Camp, now Canyon Camp & Conference Center, Near Hinton, OK, West of Oklahoma City, OK
We moved to Oklahoma when I was in the ninth
grade. My church camp was Devil's Canyon. There, the canteen was a
focused treat. I don't think there was a canteen in Texas. Buying a
pop, candy bar or nuts seemed like the epitome of adulthood at age 14. My
sister Linda worked in the canteen one year, part of the magical heart of adult
nonchalance and choices, even if it only consisted of candy and Coke.
|Canyon Camp and Conference Center, 31600 Camp Road, Hinton, OK 73047
Also at Devil's Canyon, we learned to folk dance, with various styles from around the world. I always waited and hoped for the ones from Israel, which seemed full of dissonance and energy all at once. When I have seen actual dances from Israel, in film or TV, I saw that we did very easy and basic steps, but they carried the flavor.
I loved to play shuffleboard at camp. The cue that launched the disk was impossibly long and could be lined up so exactly with the goals that missing was nearly impossible. I was fairly good at shuffleboard. I think over the years that I discovered that being blind in one eye has some benefits, one of them taking deadly aim at a target that is straight off in the distance. Those shuffleboard disks slid right to their aim. It was a game where I felt powerful and skilled. That in itself was a rarity. I loved playing with people and saw how other people set up their shots. I got to know how other people felt about the game. Friends and shuffle board went together, almost like a giant spread out living board game.
I remember that the men always played horseshoes and were equally good at it. I can remember the clang of points made and the muffled sound of the metal that hit the sand when the shot fell short or arced across the goal too far. It was possible to tell the score while watching the players without even looking at the results by listening to those sounds.
Canyon Camp Cabins
And then, there was swimming. Since I can't swim now, I must assume that I couldn't swim then, either. However, going to the lake was another hike that I enjoyed. We would get into our suits and take a towel and march single file by the cabins and down the trail to the lake, very orderly with a hum of excitement under the marching. After the swim, probably a bobbing in the water for me, or wading, we would drip march with towels trying to keep us dry and warm through the trees back to the cabins, again in single file. Finally, all those wet things were hanging about the cabin. Wet things dried quickly in Texas in the summer, including us.
When I was a Senior at Devil's Canyon, I went on a longer hike to the end of one of the lesser used canyons. At the end was a cabin rumored to be a place where Jesse James or Billy the Kid or some such questionable hero stayed. I felt as if I was stepping into history, and hiking as well, a double pleasure.
Canyon Camp Swimming Pool
Early in the mornings, extra hikes were taken up to the rims of the canyons. These were very quiet and thoughtful times, with the walks and climbs a time of silent meditation, broken only after returning to the open tabernacle for some singing. It was a time of calm and color and noticing all the shades of morning come up from the canyon floor and down from the tree tops to a point where they would meet and transform all the rocks and forest around us. Light can do so much in slant and texture out in a sparse Oklahoma forest on a canyon wall.
While we became young and budding naturalists, we sometimes found snake skins on those nature hikes, a prize beyond belief, to be carefully taped into our notebooks. It was a rare occasion, but I found a snake skin, a nearly dry perfect one that was like parchment in its delicate thinness, and not from a big snake. It was a treasure. Once, the counselor found a snake skin that was large and patterned. He gave each of us a section of it about 2 inches long. That also was a prize. I wonder what became of those notebooks. They probably went the way of all the comic books I used to have that would have made me a bazillionaire had I hung on to them with their pristine condition.

3. Lake Texhoma Methodist Church Camp, now Cross Point Camp, near Kingston, OK in South Central OK
Church camp is
probably where I learned my love of camping. When I was in college at Oklahoma City University, one summer I worked at
Lake Texhoma Church Camp. At least that was the intention. Originally, a
group of us OCU college students were to help with recreation and with food
service. When we arrived, the camp was still under construction, so we
helped with clearing bush, beating brush to drive rattle snakes toward the men
who caught them to clear the area, put in plumbing, spread concrete slabs, and
a whole list of helping that I never experienced.
|7310 Rock Creek Road. Kingston, OK 73439
We lived in covered wagons, two to a wagon. They looked just like the wagons on "Bonanza" or in the pictures of the Westward Expansion on the Oregon Trail. We loved them until it rained. We discovered that we had to rush outside to lower the canvas or get really wet. The covered wagons only had the outer look of pioneering. Inside they were equipped with four beds, dressers, mirrors and most of what would make them livable. They had no electricity or water, unless the rain was counted. They were a pale green. We lived in them almost all summer. The camp was finally built by the end of summer in time for regular camping and working in the dining hall.
Cross Point Camp's location at a geographical point
on the north shore of Lake Texoma in Oklahoma.
There was a Japanese cook who taught me how to debone a chicken and to pull the bone out of pork so that you couldn't even tell that it had ever been there. Those were good skills. Every Friday, as we brought in the milk and ice cream, each of us chose a quart flavor from the delivery truck to go feast on at the lake.
One of the stories that the fellow workers probably remember best is when we lived in a nearby motel for a time, between the covered wagon time and the finished cabin time. I was asked to make coffee for the group. At home, my parents had a percolator, so I assumed that when coffee was ready, it would stop perking. I boiled the coffee until it turned to a thick syrup as I waited for the perking to stop. Only one worker had a sip. I was off the coffee production line for the rest of the summer.
Church camp was a regular and important part of
my growing up. There were the regular age similar camping experiences.
There were special music camps with talented directors, family camps where our
complete family attended, and leadership camps when I was in college where we
would take part in social action work. I have fond memories of the
Methodist camps.

I've been informed by an upstanding member of the local Cumbuco business community that kitesurfing is to be banned in Cumbuco (Brazil) by the local Prefucture (Council) and will be enforced by the police. Anybody kitesurfing in the central village of Cumbuco faces arrest.
The no kitesufing zone operates between the two AMT check points; upwind mark is close to Duro beach hotel, downwind mark is just past Hi-life kitesurfing school. This means that kiting in-front of the Dutch kitesurf school located at Coconut bar, Blue Wind kitesurf School and Pousada, Eco Paradise Hotel, the soon to be built Kairiri Beach Hotel and Kairiri Apartments and Hi-life kitesurf school is not allowed. Obviously this is something of a problem for the kitesurfing schools . As there also seems to be no outer limit ie. 400m from shore etc this also precludes anybody from downwinding from upwind of Hi-life to Cauipe lagoon and all spots South, you'll have to walk the 1km (approx) exclusion zone or start your ride from Hi-Life.
The source of complaints which are leading to the ban are from the manager of Velas Du Cumbuco, a beach Barracca where Brazillians sit on their arses all day eating themselves silly and drinking themselves into a stupor. To the best of my knowledge, no customers from Velas have ever been hurt or injured by kitesurfers, so why the manager wants the sport banned is beyond my logic. Ironically the owner of Velas is also the co-owner of one of the affected kitesurfing schools.
Talk about shitting on your own doorstep?!

ATLANTA – The No. 3-ranked Florida State sand volleyball team picked up two more dual match victories on Saturday at the Georgia State Sand Volleyball Complex.
The Seminoles improved to 11-2 on the season with a 5-0 victory over No. 9 Tulane and a 4-1 win over GSU.
"All of the teams here have great pairs at the top, and I think it's our depth that sets us apart and has been allowing us to be successful," Florida State head coach Danalee Corso said. "It was a pretty good day. Tulane and Georgia State are putting together some great teams. Our sisters (the Pellitteri's) led the way again today. They have great chemistry and they really complement each other. Overall, I'm really happy with how our young players are developing and improving week after week. Hopefully, we continue our success tomorrow."
FSU swept every court in two sets against Tulane, led by sophomore Stephanie Pellitteri and freshman Nina Pellitteri on court five, who won 21-10, 21-16 as Stephanie recorded six aces.
Senior Mallory Kiley and sophomore Sarah Wickstrom (Court 4), sophomore Melanie Pavels and freshman Julie Brown (Court 3), senior Fatma Yildirim and junior Aurora Davis (Court 2), and senior Maria Milosavljevic and sophomore Jace Pardon (Court 1) all also grabbed easy victories and didn't drop a set against their Green Wave opponents.
Following the morning victory, Florida State took care of a tougher Georgia State squad.
With the same lineup, the Seminoles swept courts No. 3, 4 and 5 with the Pellitteri's leading the way again by cruising to a 21-5, 21-6 victory.
Davis and Yildirim used three sets to dispatch GSU's Jansen Button and Sara Olivora on Court 2, while Pardon and Milosavlejevic were the only Noles to lose in the dual matches, falling on Court 1 to the Panthers' Lane Carico and Katie Madewell.
The day wrapped up with opening pool play for the "Gold" bracket tournament, featuring the No. 1 and No. 2 teams from FSU, GSU, Tulane and ULM.
Milosavljevic and Pardon fell by forfeit to ULM's McNamee and Grabiec after Milosavljevic rolled her ankle early in the first set. Freshman Katherine Plessy will replace her during Sunday's play.
Brown and Pavels moved up to No. 2 for the "Gold" bracket and fell to ULM's No. 1 team of Sukach and Markova. The pair is still alive, however, as the "Gold" will continue Sunday along with a "Silver" bracket featuring pairs No. 3, 4 and 5.
Play starts at 8 a.m. on Sunday with final matches scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Swansea defender Ashley Williams has launched a withering attack on Liverpool striker Luis Suarez - saying he has no time for the Uruguayan.
Wales captain Williams made comments in his new book My Premier League Diary, serialised the South Wales Evening Post, which accused Suarez of having no respect for his fellow professionals and of diving repeatedly in games against Swansea last season.
Writing after playing Suarez in the 0-0 draw at Anfield last year, Williams said: "Suarez has that aura about him that says 'I'm untouchable'. I'd go as far as to say that the manner in which he approached the game, with utter contempt for us all, means that he's streets ahead of any player I've truly disliked since we've been in the Premier League."
He went on: "He dived more than any other player I've played against before - it was so bad I was genuinely shocked."
Williams added of Swansea's 1-0 win over the Merseyside club in May: "Having played against him twice now I just have to say that I don't like the bloke.
"They won a corner, and I appealed to the ref to say that it had come off him last. He said something to me with a bit of a snarl, so I just told him to shut his mouth.
"I don't like the superior manner he brings on the field with him. Basically I have no time for the guy at all."
The remarks have stoked the fires ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League meeting between the sides at the Liberty Stadium, where Reds manager Brendan Rodgers will return to Swansea for the first time since his summer departure for Anfield.
Rodgers was quoted in The Daily Telegraph as saying: "My experience of working with Ash is that he's a responsible, mature player. He's an international captain. When I saw those comments I was very surprised by them.
"He certainly wouldn't have meant it the way it came out. He's a good lad. Maybe it was something he didn't mean to get out there."

Not In Our Town: Class Actions
Premiered February 2012 (check local listings)
Class Actions features three stories of students and their communities standing together to stop hate and bullying. University of Mississippi students peacefully confront old divisions and the Ku Klux Klan by turning their backs on hate; hundreds gather on the Indiana University campus to light menorah candles after anti-Semitic attacks on campus; and a massive circle of southern California high school students break the silence about bullying at school with a loud and united chant, "Not In Our Town."
Students in Antelope Valley, California, supported by school leaders, organized a anti-bullying campaign that brought together their city and four school districts serving 50,000 students. Learn what you can do to stop bullying and create a safer school. Like the students at the University of Mississippi profiled in Class Actions, students on college campuses across the country have taken action to resist hate and intolerance. Learn more about One Mississippi and how you can make a difference on your campus.

Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness
Premiered September 2011 (check local listings)
A community responds to anti-immigrant violence.
Light in the Darkness is a one-hour documentary about a town coming together to take action after anti-immigrant violence devastates the community. In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, New York culminate with the murder of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years.
Over a two-year period, the story follows Mayor Paul Pontieri, the victim's brother Joselo Lucero, and Patchogue residents as they address the root causes of the violence, heal divisions, and take steps to ensure that everyone in their village will be safe and respected. In addition to the national broadcast, viewers can follow the case and learn more about the civil suits, find out more about how libraries got involved and learn about reporting hate crimes to local law enforcement.
Meet the four Patchogue residents profiled in the film who take action to change their community.
Paul Pontieri, Mayor of Patchogue
Paul Pontieri is jolted into action as he meets with Latino residents to learn how to make everyone in the community feel safe. Four months after Marcelo Lucero's murder, the mayor leads the Patchogue Board of Trustees to pass a resolution stating that "thoughtful discourse can only occur in an environment free of hatred and vilification" and that anti-immigrant rhetoric not only harms targeted groups but "our entire social fabric."
Joselo Lucero, brother of Marcelo Lucero
Joselo Lucero followed his older brother, Marcelo, from their hometown in Ecuador to the Village of Patchogue. Shocked by his brother's murder, Joselo calls for justice, an end to hatred and brings attention to anti-immigrant violence in Suffolk County. Thrust into a public role as a voice for change, Joselo urges people to come together so that a tragedy like his brother's death never happens again.
Lola Quesada, Suffolk County Police Officer
After Marcelo Lucero's murder, the Suffolk County Police Department assigned two Spanish-speaking officers to Patchogue, including Officer Lola Quesada. Lola also attends public meetings as a liaison between the immigrant community and the police. As community liaison, Lola appears on talk radio to inform immigrants about their rights and encourage them to report hate attacks to police. She also teaches essential Spanish to police recruits.
Gilda Ramos, Librarian Assistant at Patchogue-Medford Library
Watch the Video: Patchogue Library's Gilda Ramos: A Voice for Her Community
A week before Marcelo Lucero's murder, librarian assistant Gilda Ramos and librarian Jean Kaleda learned that people were afraid to attend evening ESL classes at the library for fear of being attacked at night. Kaleda and Ramos call for community meetings and create a safe space at the library for the community to heal after the murder. Gilda Ramos also translates when conversations between Patchogue's Spanish-speaking residents and their neighbors was crucial.
For more than 15 years, Not In Our Town has grown from a PBS documentary into a national effort to connect people working together to take action against hate and create safe, inclusive communities.

DailyDirt: Extreme Origami
from the urls-we-dig-up deptAlmost any hobby can be taken a bit too seriously, depending on how enthusiastic its practitioners really are. Origami has some extremely cool applications (eg. unfolding solar panels in space, trisecting angles), and it's being studied by mathematicians just for fun. Even if you've only folded paper planes, here are some interesting origami links for you.
- MIT is just one institution that studies origami and has a club dedicated to folding stuff. Apparently, the first rule of OrigaMIT is not to not talk about OrigaMIT. [url]
- The history of curved origami is covered by the folks at Makezine. MacArthur fellow Erik Demaine goes over some curved origami scuptures dating back to the 1920s. [url]
- An 'origami robot' can fold itself into various shapes all by itself. It's too bad GPS devices have made self-folding maps somewhat obsolete.... [url]
