I was delighted to find out that I am a runner-up in a recipe contest this month, sponsored by Mississippi Magazine. I was thoroughly impressed with the beautiful photography of all the recipes. Each photograph had a "green" element to it (not the term for being environmentally friendly, but the color) such as a plate, napkin or garnish, and this made me particularly happy because green is my favorite color.
Before I post the recipe, let me make an announcement. My darling daughter and my darling son-in-law are expecting a baby which means I will be a grandmother (gulp). I am currently brainstorming names for my sweet little grandson to call me; anything but Grandma, Mee-Maw or Nanna could possibly be in the running. Something a little more youthful sounding would be nice. Here is the happy couple at his college graduation yesterday:
Here's the recipe. Don't worry, the alcohol cooks out.
*Update-All of the alcohol does not cook out like I had initially thought, so please do your research before letting children eat these.

J.C. France Suspended By Grand-Am
By Jonathan Ingram | Senior Writer
J.C. France, a veteran competitor in the Rolex Sports Car Series and son of current NASCAR board member Jim France, has been suspended indefinitely by the series after an arrest on drug charges in Daytona Beach following a traffic violation.
"Grand-Am has issued a penalty notice and suspended J.C. indefinitely from all competition for actions detrimental to racing," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said. "The penalty is not appealable. J.C. is being treated like any other competitor. His suspension is immediate and indefinite."
The Grand American Road Racing Association was founded by Bill France Jr. and Jim France among other partners in 1999. The series began running under NASCAR ownership in 2008.
J.C. France has been a competitor at Brumos Racing since the Daytona Prototype class first launched in 2003. Often co-driving with endurance racing legend Hurley Haywood, France has not recorded a victory since joining the Brumos team, winners of this year's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Initial police reports indicated France was found in possession of cocaine and he was later charged with cocaine possession and DUI.

text: There are over 65,000 videos uploaded daily and those numbers are on the rise,online video will probably be the largest and fastest growing advertising media for the next few years,so if you have not caught onto the latest trend you need to put yourself on the playing field of your competitors and see what you have been missing out on.Video marketing will really leverage your time,once your video is uploaded it remains on that site until you take it down.Can you imagine how many views that will bring to your website if you leave a link back to your site and if you upload a couple of videos per week with different keywords and subjects all leading back to your site,now your video has become viral and traffic is consistently flowing to your site due to backlinks. This is what makes video such a necesity in the market place. In order to optimise your video you will need to do some keyword research because you know google purchased youtube back in october of 2006,making keyword research a strong method of determining your video ranking according to the amount of views your video gets and if your keywords or (tags)get more views than your competitors you can quickly climb to the top of the video sites,thus putting your video in front of more viewers and ultimately sending more traffic to your site.Video marketing is one of the easiest and most effective strategies to drive highly qualified prospects to your site for free. Many people get intimidated by being or seeing themselves on camera or not knowing how to actually record and edit their video before uploading it to the web,but have no fear because there is an alternative to that and it works alot faster and smoother.There is an automated video recording program that you can use to broadcast your message,all you have to do is write out the text you want to use in your video,choose a character image,review the video and upload,it really is that simple and you can create as many videos as you like.But your punctuation has to be good or your words will run together and not give your video a free flow,but other than that,this is a great tool to get you started making some videos until you are ready to step out of your cocoon.I will leave a link at the end of this post.But video marketing is really taking over the industry as more than 52% of the traffic generated comes from video and this market has not really been tapped into,but more and more marketers are beginning to make that step in the right direction.So don`t be bashful give it a try you will actually like it once you start and the results will blow you away.This will be your new found list builder.

The bottom looks mighty close for Mike, who is out of a job after losing the fight of his life. What's worse, Charles Forstman is waving a million-dollar signing bonus under Mike's nose, and while he'd like to tell the scheming financial titan where he can shove his check, with no other options on the table it looks as though Mike may have to sign on with a man he actively despises.
Yet while Mike may despair at the thought of what the future holds, Harvey is still holding out hope. So while Mike goes in search of guidance from a former client who knows a thing or two about starting over, Harvey goes to bat for his former protege.
At the same time, Louis weighs his options when Jessica offers him a reward for his hand in securing the Gillis deal, while Jessica deals with the trust issues in her relationship with Jeff Malone.
Meanwhile, Mike has an epiphany about his future, but Rachel can't keep her kiss with Logan a secret any longer, and when she finally reveals her betrayal to Mike it will have unexpected consequences for everyone in their lives...

RICHMOND / 4 on council call for a state of emergency / The idea is to raise $2 million to fight violent crime wave
Four Richmond City Council members said Thursday they want to declare "a state of emergency" in several neighborhoods in order to raise funds to fight crime.
They announced their proposal several hours after Richmond's latest shooting -- an incident Wednesday night that left one man dead, two others critically wounded and a 14-year-old boy hiding on the floor of a bullet- riddled car. Bullets landed within inches of the boy's head, but he was not wounded.
"We're living in extreme times that call for extreme measures," said Councilwoman Maria Viramontes, who was joined by three other council members at a news conference.
Richmond experienced an usually high number of shootings in April that police said related at least in part to conflicts among local gang members. Police have similarly described several similar bursts of gang-related gun activity in recent years.
The council members proposed a 15-month state of emergency, which the full nine-member Richmond City Council will consider next week. The $2 million proposal includes installing surveillance cameras to monitor drug hot spots, cracking down on gang members and sending drug-sniffing dogs with officers on foot patrol.
Money to pay for the changes the council members suggested would come from a half-cent sales tax voters have approved and from federal and state grants that might be obtained.
Viramontes conceded the surveillance cameras and canine patrols were "extreme measures that make those of us worried about civil liberties uncomfortable. We all cherish our privacy and sense of freedom." But she compared parts of Richmond to a war zone.
"This is not normal," Viramontes said. "So we have to treat it not normal. We give up certain rights in a war zone, don't we? All of us do."
The city is expected to request temporary help from the California Highway Patrol, Contra Costa Sheriff's Department and state parole agents. The deputies and CHP officers would add extra traffic patrols in hot spots and free up Richmond police to crack down on alleged drug dealers and parole violators.
Both Oakland and San Francisco have tried similar measures in recent years by using other agencies to flood high-crime scenes at night.
Councilman John Marquez said the state of emergency would apply to neighborhoods such as downtown Richmond, the Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, Coronado, Pullman Park Plaza, Stege and parts of Belding Woods.
The proposal incorporates some anti-violence proposals made earlier by Mayor Irma Anderson but goes much further, and Anderson said she was not sure she wants to do everything the council members propose.
"There's no doubt we have crisis here, a severe crisis," Anderson said. "I don't know if it's right to call it a state of emergency. We don't need the National Guard, but we do need a focused strategic plan to reduce violence."
The emergency measure would not affect the area near Hilltop Mall where resident Tony Tinsley, 37, was shot to death about 10 p.m. Wednesday while he sat in a car with two other men and a 14-year-old boy. Police had no suspects or motive in the shooting Thursday.
Tinsley was the eighth person killed in Richmond this year; seven had been killed last year at this time.

Our bodies are designed to move…a lot. Everything in the body is in constant movement, inside we are like a beautifully designed machine where everything fits together. But the machine needs to work (move) to function. When we move circulation is enhanced; oxygen in, toxins out. There is no other way to do this. When we don't move the opposite occurs; bad circulation, accumulation of toxins in our system, weak muscles that can't keep the posture, the skeletal system goes out of whack because there is no muscle support and we end up with a whole array of aches and pains. The way our society is built today does not leave much space for movement. We sit at work, sit in our transportation, sit at home. We take the elevator or the escalator, even if it means waiting. We are constantly stressed and in some kind of pain because the body is not getting what it needs. And when the body doesn't get what it needs, nor does the mind. When exercising, the brain secretes all kind of yummy, feel-good hormones that make us high and happy.
The benefits of exercise are huge: Less risk for osteoporosis, better circulation, healthy hunger and healthy demands from the body, clarity of mind, improvement of mood, more energy, better sleep-patterns, reduces stress, the list is long. Look at children; they move all the time and their bodies are strong and fit. They don't have problems with posture, aches and dislocated vertebrae…
If you are not used to exercising, start slow: Take the stairs, take a walk, park your car further away from the mall. Walk those 2 bus-stops (it'll probably be faster than waiting for the bus), dance. Little by little you add on; walk further, start doing other exercises, run, skip, jump, climb a tree. When you are at the playground with your child, play! Climb, swing and use the playground equipment to exercise. Check out videos on YouTube "playground exercises".
- Aches and pains: If you have problems with your body, chances are that they will heal or get better with movement. Just be careful not to overdo it. If you have problems with your knees walk the stairs up and take the elevator down. Going downstairs or downhill creates a much bigger impact on your joints. Walk, don't run or jump. Climbing is good. Push-ups is a brilliant exercise for the whole body and can be done by anybody. If you can't do full push-ups, start on your knees or against a wall or an elevated surface. Menstrual pain always lessens with movement. Head-aches often clear.
- Time: You can get a really heavy-duty work-out in only 15-20 min. Cardio by running, skipping rope, dancing, step-ups or using the stairs. Strength by using interval-training. This can be fit in any time during the day; lunch break, morning, evening. Instead of sitting through stupid programs on the TV or hanging out with your best buddy – the computer, move! You can even fit in more than one session in a day.
- Expenses: There are none unless you want to. For weights you can use cans, water-bottles, rocks…whatever. You can use an ordinary rope for skipping, your body-weight is already something to work with. You can do everything in your living-room, garden, play-ground, park, forest…use your imagination. If you want to invest, buy some dumb-bells, they are not too costly. I invested in a timer for interval-training, it's called Gymboss and you can purchase it either in a sports-shop or here. It costs about 20 US dollars. Interval training is hard to do on your own without a timer.
- Body-weight & Balance: When you do body-weight exercises, you use all the muscles in your body because while you are moving, the body constantly has to stabilize and balance itself. I prefer this to working on machines because the machine targets only one area. By using your whole body you get balance, coordination and strength. There is no end to the movements and combinations you can create, so you don't have to get bored. Besides, you can do it anywhere. I LOVE interval-training (or Tabata); it's fun, fast, easy and efficient. I do it in my living-room in winter, in my garden in the summer and sometimes in the forest where I can use nature's equipment.
- Warm-up & Stretching: Always warm up before training and stretch after. This will keep stiffness and soreness to a minimum, keeping you muscles long and supple. Some stiffness is to be expected when you start, or step up, your work-out. The best way to get past this is by exercising. Over time your program will get too easy, then you need to add more movements or weight.
Here is a great video to show how interval training is done:
You will love the look and feel of your new body; toned muscle, good posture, looking radiant and strong. You will find yourself taking every chance to move; walk, take the stairs, turn the house-cleaning into a work-out 🙂 Health is all about loving and respecting yourself.

Data from the world's first real-life medical mass screening performed by smartphone have been released, potentially leading to a paradigm shift in healthcare.
Digital health heart
FibriCheck is currently the world's only medically certified app that can be used to detect atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders. The data released includes more than 120,000 remote measurements that have been performed on approximately 12,500 participants using their smartphones.
The app works by utilising the built-in sensors — photoplethysmorgraphic (PPG) — commonly found in smartphones and smartwatches that measure the rate and rhythm of the user's/wearer's heartbeat. Then, through medically approved algorithms together with an artificially intelligent deep neural network, the app detects the presence of atrial fibrillation and other potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. This information can be used to refer the patient to a doctor for further follow up if required.
The mass screening campaign was performed in Belgium, where participants could download and unlock the app by scanning a QR code that had been published in a Belgian newspaper. Each participant measured their heartbeats twice a day for a week. Feedback on the results were provided instantly with users being offered the option to automatically upload the data to their doctor for further analysis and diagnosis.
Of those who participated in the mass screening, 150 were ultimately diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and 500 were found to have other significant heart rhythm disorders that needed further medical attention.
According to the company, these results are in line with previous medical research conducted amongst the general population, with an average age of 50 and approx. 1.3% registering measurements that were highly suggestive for atrial fibrillation. This figure increased to 3% for participants aged 60 and over and up to 12% for those over 80.
Therefore, FibriCheck, provided by Belgian company Qompium, offers a way of mass screening that is more cost-effective than traditional approaches with similar results — signalling the potential for a paradigm shift in healthcare.

Our country is experiencing a moment of reckoning. The sheer number of sexual harassment and abuse allegations now coming to light would be astonishing if it wasn't for that fact that, at least for many women, the bad behavior has long been an open secret.
Locally, the rising wave of victims feeling emboldened to tell their stories helped Voice of San Diego reporter Ashly McGlone uncover a sexual harassment story she's been trying to nail down for years.
Four women who attended La Jolla High School between 2002 and 2013 shared their stories with McGlone. They said they were groped or touched inappropriately by Martin Teachworth, a longtime physics teacher at the school who retired earlier this year.
On this week's podcast, McGlone sits down with VOSD's Scott Lewis to talk about how the story came together, how the school's handling of the sexual harassment accusations failed the women who came forward and the impact the story has had so far.
"There's a lot of reflection going on," McGlone said. "It is getting shared within the La Jolla community, especially [among] the graduates there, and there's not a ton of surprise. People have described it as sort of an open secret."
Loxie Gant, one of four women who says Teachworth harassed her, also joined the podcast to talk about her experience, and why she wanted to get the story out now.
Gant recently became a mom herself, and said it pushed her to reach out to McGlone.
"We're faced with the idea of buying a house in that neighborhood and sending our child to that school," Gant said. "It hit me really hard that there's a lot of parents that aren't aware, and they're trusting the school district and the La Jolla High school system in order to protect their kids, and there's something wrong. There's just something missing here."
Also on the podcast, Lewis, Sara Libby and Andrew Keatts discuss the wave of sexual harassment stories in the news, including a new accusation against former Mayor Bob Filner.
The trio also breaks down a scathing ruling against activist Mark Arabo. A San Diego Superior Court judge ruled this week that Arabo accrued improper compensation when he ran a trade group of independent corner stores called the Neighborhood Market Association. The judge questioned the credibility of Arabo and many of the witnesses called to testify on his behalf, and ordered Arabo to repay the association $248,000.
The heroes this week are the former La Jolla High School students who talked to Voice of San Diego about the sexual harassment they experienced.
The Public Utilities Commission gets the goat this week. KPBS reported that court documents show that the commission "used public money to try to block search warrants in an ongoing investigation into possible collusion with Southern California Edison over the premature closure of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station."

Medical Resident Specialist
I have helped many physicians, including residents and fellows, buy and sell homes in Chapel Hill and Durham. I understand the intense situation residents are in after match and the special needs they have to find the right home- fast. I also know how difficult a pyhsician's schedule can be. I have extreme flexibility to set appointment times that are convenient for you, to preview homes to not waste your valuable time, to attend inspections and take care of all the details, to meet you at the hospital to sign papers- anything to make the home buying or selling process smooth and as stress free as possible. There are homes, townhomes and condos available in Chapel Hill and Durham that are affordable for most residents. I can assist you with obtaining special financing, programs created specifically for doctors and residents, offering 100% financing that do not calculate student loans in the debt ratio.
As your Buyer's Agent, I work only for you and am an advocate for your best interests. My clients receive automatic daily "hotsheets" so they know immediately about the newest properties. One of my jobs is to point out the "negatives" of a house; issues that might affect a home's value or ability to sell in the future. I will prepare statistical reports and a Comparative Market Analysis for properties you are interested in to maximize your negotiating position. I will create the offer based on factors important to you. Price is critical, but a closing date coordinated with the beginning of residency is also important. I have an extensive list of attorneys, inspectors, contractors, etc. I will take care of all the details so you can focus on graduating, passing boards and moving!

Comedian Matt Lucas has directed the video for the new single for Scottish band The Proclaimers.
'Spinning Around In The Air', which is available for download today, is taken from the album Like Comedy, which comes out on Monday 7th May by Cooking Vinyl Records.
Lucas is a big fan of The Proclaimers (who are twins Charlie and Craig Reid) and as well as writing the script for the video he makes his directorial debut behind the camera whilst also popping up in a cameo role as the story unfolds. He joked of the twins' costumes: "They could turn a man. They've turned me straight. I think it's the start of something new, a new chapter in the lives of one of Britain's top female duos!"
The video is a satire on a Golden Wedding party set in a Glaswegian bungalow and the Reid twins have been cast by the director to dress up as old ladies.
Charlie Reid said: "Matt said it was going to be liberating, and I think liberating is an understatement."
Lucas said of his directorial debut: "It's my first, it might be my last as well. I had this idea to do this 50th anniversary party and shoot it as though it's shot on home video; and there's a punch going around this party that gets all these respectful senior citizens disgracefully drunk and uninhibited."
Craig said: "It was a unique experience. Matt has great ideas and I think the video really compliments the song."
The Proclaimers make several UK festival appearances over the summer followed by a six week UK tour in October and November.

The Kalahari is big.
And – mostly – empty.
Here you can listen to the wind rustling the dry grass in the wee small hours after midnight, or hear the forlorn, far-off cry of a jackal before dawn. You can drive around for days without seeing a single other human being. And you can hold your cellphone up as high as you like – there simply isn't any way you'd pick up a signal.
One may be excused for thinking this is a place forgotten by man and God alike, a place shunned by civilisation and society where life – as most people practice it – is impossible.
But that's not true. Stunted plants have worked out ways to suck water from deep underground and even from the air. Animals can go days without water. And frogs hibernate for impossible lengths of time, waiting for some rain to form a puddle nearby. Somehow. Mother Nature has found ways to celebrate life in one of the most inhospitable places on the globe.
Although isolated and – to the inexperienced eye – lifeless, the Kalahari remains one of the very rare places where one can escape the madness we call civilisation. Here you head for the shade of a camelthorn tree, pick up the broken twigs and branches (carefully avoiding the vicious thorns) and build a small fire. Be careful where you pitch the tent – the ecosystem under the tree supports snakes, scorpions and rodents. Respect them, and they'll leave you alone.
And it is here, under the spreading branches of a lonely Acacia erioloba that Vetfaan sits down to contemplate Life, Love and The Future. He had to escape the hubbub in Boggel's Place for a while – the talk about the recent insanity in parliament, the attacks by ISIS and the shootings in Paris and Copenhagen was just too depressing to endure any longer. The pictures in The Upington Post of the hardships in Eastern Europe and the dismal performance of Escom didn't help to lighten his mood, either.
It is not unusual for Vetfaan to escape like this. Ever since the time he served as a soldier during the Border War in the Caprivi, he has experienced – from time to time – the need to be alone. It's as if a fog slowly builds up around him, fed by the ever-prevailing diet of bad news and political mayhem, until it becomes imperative to isolate himself from it all. And then, it is only the silence of the great Kalahari that can peel away the layers of accumulated psychological harm – layer by layer – until his mind frees itself from the shackles of despair.
On the second morning next to his fire, a movement on the horizon draws his attention. He has to squint in the harsh glare of sunlight to make out a lone Gemsbok slowly making his way towards him. It is a magnificent animal with long horns. white-socked legs and a flowing, black tail whisked this way and that by the soft breeze.
Vetfaan knows this animal should be called an Oryx, and not a Gemsbok at all. The old German term of Gemse referred to the chamois, a much smaller antelope of Europe occurring in mountainous areas. Labeling the regal Gemsbok with the name of a mere mountain goat – probably due to the facial pattern and the straightish horns – was as appropriate as the naming of the tree Vetfaan is sitting under. Camel thorn doesn't refer to camels at all. The discarded Latin name – Acacia giraffe – was much more accurate; but to the original Dutch explorers a giraffe was a 'camel horse' (kameelperd) – hence the common name.
When the antelope draws nearer, Vetfaan notices the deep wounds on his flanks. Lion! This Gemsbok must have beaten off a predator with his sabre-like horns; however, he didn't escape unscathed. Now he can see it is limping as well – a signal to the carnivores of the desert that are always on the lookout for an easy meal.
Vetfaan gets up slowly to fill a basin with water from the container on the back of his pickup and places it in an area of dense shade, as far away as possible from his chair. The Gemsbok will smell the water, but also the fire – will it be brave enough to drink? Not wanting to scare away the injured animal, Vetfaan settles down to stare at his boots. Eye contact could imply a challenge, and that might spell out death if the antelope chooses to shy away from help.
How long did he sit there? Time has no meaning out here except for the contrast between day and night. It could have been hours – or maybe just minutes – before soft crunching makes him look up. The Gemsbok is there, barely three metres away, eating some of the camel thorn pods. This is a good sign – those pods represent one of the most nutritious sources of food in the desert.
"There's water," Vetfaan whispers.
The Gemsbok's head comes up sharply to stare at him. The wounds on his flank are still fresh and obviously cause a lot of pain. The eyes are tired, exhausted, sad.
"It's okay." Keeping his voice low and reassuring, Vetfaan doesn't move. "Go on."
And so a strange bond is formed. The wild Gemsbok and the disturbed man share the shady area beneath the canopy of the tree in silence that is only broken by the crunching of pods and the slurping of water. Perhaps the Gemsbok is just too tired to care any more, or maybe it understands – instinctively – that Vetfaan has seen enough suffering and death to abhor the very thought of it. Or, possibly, the animal knows that this fire, this man, represent the lesser of the evils that threaten him right now.
During the day, Vetfaan moves around quietly, deliberately avoiding scaring the Gemsbok off. Later, when the sun starts approaching the horizon, the Gemsbok lies down behind the trunk of the tree, resting its magnificent head on the ground. Vetfaan has never seen a Gemsbok sleep before and wishes he had a camera in his kit.
The next morning, the big antelope is up before Vetfaan peeks out of his tent. The wounds seem better and are no longer oozing blood.
"You better today?"
The Gemsbok snorts, pawing the ground softly with his hoof.
Then, after locking eyes with Vetfaan for a long moment, it turns and trots off across the sand.
When Vetfaan returns to Rolbos, he doesn't tell the patrons in the bar about his experience. He does, however, tell them that life is precious, love is rare, and that the madness we call civilisation is a fallacy.
"There are predators all around us, guys. Carnivores waiting to pounce. And you know what? If we don't take a chance here and there by trusting others, we might as well lay down and die. What do we learn from the media? Hell, man, they keep on telling us what a terrible state this world is in. Look at the papers: murder, rape, war, corruption. Even our parliament is a fine example of bloody conflict.
"The media, my friends, make a living by broadcasting distrust. The news tells us that we are threatened from all sides and implies that nobody can be trusted – everybody is out to disrupt peace. Drive with your doors locked. Don't talk to strangers. Put up burglar bars. Get a safety door. Don't walk alone after dark. Check your bank statement. Get a new president.
"What's the message? And what are we telling our subconscious mind on a 24/7 basis? And then we insist on being surprised that the world is in such a disarray?"
He leaves the bar deep in thought. Space. That may be the secret of the Kalahari. Out there, there are no newspapers, no television channels, no overcrowding and no crime. In the Kalahari you have to depend on your instincts and trust your judgement. That, he decides, is only possible when you cut out the noise and the clutter and allow silence to show you the way.
That's why, he realises, that Gemsbok had more insight than most humans do. He was brave enough to trust.

Far from their ancestral homeland, tiny minority faces dwindling numbers, assimilation and split allegiances between Moscow and Kiev.
Being Albanian is complicated in Ukraine. Just ask 19-year-old Sasha Popov. "I understand Albanian and grew up speaking it, since my mom is Albanian, and my dad is Bulgarian," he says. "But I only started speaking it as a teenager, when I began hanging out with my friends. I prefer to speak Albanian with them," he adds.Popov comes from Zhovtneve, a small town in Ukraine's Odessa region nestled beneath Moldova and beside Romania. Zhovtneve is unique in Ukraine because 60 per cent of the inhabitants are Albanians. The rest are Bulgarians and Gagauz – ethnic Turks – proof of the many powers and nationalities that have laid claim to this part of the Black Sea region.
"I identify as an Albanian, although I speak Bulgarian. I have never been shy about saying I'm an Albanian," says Popov, puffing out his chest a bit and smiling.
Popov studies information technology in the larger regional city of Izmail but goes home on weekends to Zhovtneve with his ethnic Bulgarian friend, Vlad Zhlyaskov, 18, who studies in Izmail at the maritime academy.
In Zhovtneve, they relax at the cultural center, home to a cafe frequented by young Albanians who come home at weekends. It is a meeting point and a place to share their common heritage. Upstairs is a one-room history museum and an Albanian cultural center with modern pictures and maps from all over Albania.
The youngsters are connected to one another, but less so to a larger Albanian national narrative because their knowledge of the Balkans is often minimal. The most that the group can muster to say about Albania is to recount a memory of a visit from an Albanian ambassador several years ago.
Another of Popov's Albanian friends, Afonya Gridur, 19, says he used to be a member of the Rilindija dance group that performs in the culture hall. But he is too shy—or too cool—to show off his moves, preferring to take a drag on his cigarette.
Down the road from the cultural center is Zhovtneve's primary school, which welcomes pupils in five languages. Banners in Ukraine's blue and yellow read "Welcome" in Gagauz – a relative of Turkish – Bulgarian, Albanian (written in Cyrillic), Russian and, arched above them in the biggest letters, Ukrainian.
The school teaches students from all five backgrounds lessons in Russian, literature and language in Ukrainian, and some speak in their native tongues in the hallways, though with the influence of television and pop culture, most are more comfortable in their common language of Russian.
"Fewer children address one another in their native tongues in the hallway than they used to," a teacher remarks. Many prefer to speak in the language they all have in common, Russian.
Across from the school a donkey is tied up in front of an orchard. Villagers go about their business and, down the street, the elderly sit outside their high-fenced properties on benches, greeting one another and discussing the latest string of violence and upheaval in Kiev, Moscow and the places between.
The Albanians mostly use the Tosk dialect of Albanian, with some Russian words thrown in. Words like "Thank you" and "You're welcome" are more commonly spoken in Russian rather than Albanian. And, instead of the contemporary Albanian toast "Gezuar", they say "Shindet dhe Beriket," an older phrase that is still used in among Balkan Albanian speakers to wish someone good health.
After school, Oleh, 15, plays outside with Islam, an ethnic Bulgarian, as they wait for the shepherd to bring their sheep back from pasture. "When I am playing with my brother, we play in Albanian," he says. "But when we are all together, we play in Russian."
Asked to introduce himself in Albanian, he struggles until a group of older women sitting on a nearby bench help out. One goads Oleh on, encouraging him, and he repeats the words in Albanian after her.
Without classes, books, or TV, Oleh has only his parents and elders to teach him the language of his ancestors. In Zhovtneve, where tolerance and intermarriage have persisted through years of wars, occupations, and agricultural collectivization, Albanians are struggling to maintain their identity without a shared sense of attachment to a country other than Ukraine, with a language they don't know how to write.
Sasha Popov has a few simple books in Albanian but he can't write or progress further without someone to teach him. "I have books at home in Albanian, a few school books, but that's it," he says.
Oleh's neighbor, Pyotr Kirpik, says he tried to watch Albanian TV but could not follow it. "We can only communicate with Albanians (from Albania or Kosovo) in person, we can somehow understand one another if we speak slowly and gesture," he says.
"We used to have Albanian satellite TV but we could not understand it because the people spoke so quickly and their language has evolved in the last 200 years," Kirpik adds.
Far from their old home
Ukraine's Bulgarian community, which is approximately 140,000 strong and concentrated in the Odessa region, has strong ties to Bulgaria. It receives help from organizations supporting Bulgarian culture, language and schooling at all levels and there are numerous cultural centers throughout Ukraine. Most Gagauz, Orthodox Christian ethnic Turks, live close to Gagauzia, a breakaway part of Moldova lying just across the border, where they can travel easily.
But Ukraine's several thousand Albanians have been more or less alone and far from home for 200 years, disconnected from the Albanians of the Balkans.
Now they are no longer confined to Zhovtneve's Albanskaya Mahala, or Albanian quarter, however. The community has looked to the Internet to connect it with other Albanian communities in Ukraine, and with Kosovo and Albania, to help educate a new generation of Albanians in their language and culture.
The Albanians who wound up in Ukraine were Orthodox Christians who joined forces with Tsarist Russia to fight against the Ottoman Empire. In the 18th century, a group of Albanians left Korce, in southern Albania, recalls Sasha Dementli, an Albanian from the Zhovtneve who recently published a book about Albanians in Ukraine. After forming a regiment in the Russian Imperial army, they were repaid for their service with land in southern Bessarabia, where Zhovtneve is, and further northeast, in Crimea.
In 1811, they founded Karakurt, which means "Black Worm," in Turkish, for the black widow spiders that were prevalent on the land.
The territory switched from the Ottomans to the Russians and then the Romanians from the late 1800s until the end of World War II, when it became part of Soviet Ukraine. The pre-war Romanian authorities opened the first village school, now a crumbling building behind the rebuilt Orthodox church. Most elderly people still understand Romanian, although they look upon that era as a period of occupation.
Lingering traditions
Local Albanians have preserved their language, some foods, and some traditions. Every May 6, they celebrate "Kurban," giving a Muslim name to the Orthodox St. George's day.
"Our ancestors saved these traditions and I am thankful to them," Dementli says.
Kira Syupyur, an Albanian from Zhovtneve now living in Izmail, speaks also of traditional cuisine like mamalik, a polenta dish resembling kacamak, a Bulgarian lamb stew called kavarma, and sarma, a variation on the common Balkan and Eastern European sour cabbage stuffed with meat and rice.
But many traditions were lost as the territory was transferred from one country to another from the 1800s onwards. The 1917 Russian Revolution brought other challenges. Kira's husband, Misha, speaks of a grandfather he never met. He was a kulak, or land-owning farmer, who held private land and animals, and who, as a result, was sent to the labour camps in Siberia and never returned.
Allied with Nazi Germany, Romania took control of the territory again in World War II, when it became part of the Ukraine. In 1947 the Soviets changed the name from Karakurt to Zhovtneve, which means October in Ukrainian, in homage to the October 1917 revolution. Under the Soviets, many villages were renamed. Another village nearby is called Chernoarmenskaya, or "Red Army."
However, residents are trying to bring the old name back. Groups on Facebook and other social networking sites call it Karakurt, and at the village's bicentennial celebration in 2011, it was referred to by its old name.
Zhovtneve was a small farming village but under the Soviet Union life changed dramatically. Most of the residents were brought to work on the Kholkhoz, or collective farm. Kira Sypyur remembers that back in those days children from 10 to 12 were excused from school in order to pick grapes in the vineyards.
But not much changed else in the village's appearance. "There are five streets," Misha Syupyur says. "The one known as Zarechnaya, or "Across the river," is where the Gagauz, also known as Chitaki, live. On one side is where the Bulgarians are, and on the other are Albanians," he adds.
The Albanians in Ukraine have meanwhile moved around and intermarried, which means that the population of those declaring themselves as Albanian has diminished. There were 5,258 Albanians in the Soviet Union in 1958, concentrated in Ukraine. By 1970, that number had fallen to 4,402 and by 1989, only 4,085 remained, one of the smallest recognized minorities. The most recent data from Ukraine's 2001 census listed 3,308 Albanians, 1,740 of whom spoke Albanian as their first language.
Historian Dementli spent several years researching his book about Albanians in Ukraine and wants to promote Albanian culture and language. But the current government doesn't concern itself with such small minorities, he complains. He hopes the governments of Kosovo and Albania will provide assistance or sponsor exchanges. "Unfortunately, no one wants to deal with this or finance it," he says.
"We had a cultural center in Odessa, but it closed. There was a center in the village, but it closed. With the kind of enthusiasm now, it won't happen," he laments.
"It needs money and energy, and for young people to become interested in their heritage," he adds. "Our children and grandchildren need to know where we came from. They don't know how to write in Albanian. It would be great to travel there and speak with people in Albanian – to learn to write."
Zhovtneve's one-room Albanian culture museum consists of old looms, rugs, some furniture, clothing and household objects. A pair of traditional shoes, or "yapinga", is on display. While most traditional Albanian songs, dances or poems have been lost, Yuliya Karanyeva is trying to revitalize Albanian heritage for young people with a new dance troupe, called Rilindija.
"We can learn new dances and songs on the Internet and on television," she says, brandishing the traditional dance costumes worn by her troupe.
Rilindija performed traditional Albanian dances and songs learned in this way at the cultural center at the village's bicentennial. Dancing is one way for residents to reclaim their heritage and history, she says.
Another is the drive to revive the village's old name. "We all say that we are from Karakurt now, not Zhovtneve," Karanyeva adds.
Divided loyalties
Ukraine's current political divisions have further confused Albanian identity and allegiances.
In Zhovtneve, inside one of walled home compounds, Pyotr Kirpik and his wife, Lena, work in the garden, tending to beehives, feeding the chickens and planting. In Albanian, he gives instructions to Sofia, an older Albanian woman who helps work in his vineyard.
"This is always been a diverse part of the world, we all speak many languages but we always interacted in Russian, and we want to continue to do so," he says as a Russian soap opera set in the Tsarist days (subtitled in Ukrainian) plays in the background.
Members of the community who have been friends for years have mixed opinions on which country they would like to live in. Lena also wants closer ties to Russia, because of the security they felt in the Soviet Union.
"We are far, very far from Kiev," she says, planting cabbages. "It is awful what is happening. Our daughter is in Russia, we have cousins there, our whole lives we were with Russia, and are now," she adds. "I don't want to hear anymore that we are separating from Russia."
Her husband would be happy if Russia annexed the territory outright, incorporating it into a corridor of territory in south Ukraine along the Black Sea from Crimea to Izmail and including Moldova's own breakaway regions of Transnistria and Gagauzia.
"I want to be a part of Russia," he says. "Western Ukraine and eastern Ukraine are two different nationalities – two different cultures." At the very least, Kirpik adds, Ukraine must change into a loose federation, just as the Russian government has demanded. He has fond memories of the Soviet Union and what he felt was its acceptance of all nationalities, in contrast to the growing Ukrainian national sentiment in the capital, Kiev.
"In those days everyone spent time together… everyone came to everyone else's assistance … it didn't matter if they were Albanian, Bulgarian, Gagauz, Russian, Ukrainian, Jew," Kirpik says. "How can I suddenly become Ukrainian if I was an Albanian my whole life?" he asks.
But not all local Albanians think that way. Kirpik served as kum, or best man, to Misha and Kira Syupyur. They watch TV online in Ukrainian and have a little picture of Ukraine's jailed former Prime Minister, Yuliya Tymoshenko, in their dining nook. "I don't want Russia, I want Europe," Kira Syupyur says. "People have to change, to move forward."
Zhlyaskov guards his words about what he wants for the future of his country, instead expressing concern that his fellow students at the maritime academy could be mobilized if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates. As far as 19-year-old Popov is concerned, when asked about what sort of future he wants, he just smiles: "Maybe I'll go to Albania."/BIRN//Oculus News

2nd anniversary of Mexico student massacre commemorated with protests
Parents of the missing students led the marches in Mexico City, while protests in Australia and the US coincided in shows of solidarity.
The tragedy was commemorated with massive marches in New York and in other cities. In Times Square, protesters took to the streets, chanting: "Black lives matter," and, "Brown lives matter." The march went to the Mexican consulate in New York as well.
The students disappeared after they had commandeered travel buses to take them to demonstrations in Mexico City.
Police stopped the vehicles and what exactly happened next has been disputed for the past two years. What is known is that a fight broke out between students and police which resulted in three students dying with three bystanders being killed in the crossfire as well. 43 male students were arrested by police, but what happened to them next remains a mystery.
Six months after the students disappeared, then Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam presented the results of an investigation he referred to as the "historic truth" that claimed police had handed the students over to a local drug cartel who killed them and incinerated their bodies. Murillo Karam claimed that Iguala's mayor, José Luis Abarca Velázquez, and his wife, María de los Ángeles Pineda Villa were behind the abduction and murders.
The explanation was discredited by independent forensic experts and to this day, no one has been tried for crimes related to the disappearance of the students. This along with reports that arrested citizens who confessed to involvement were tortured has caused some international human rights organizations to believe that President Peña Nieto's administration has failed the case.
"As was expected, in a country with an atrocious human rights record, progress on the Ayotzinapa investigation has reached a standstill," said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas Director at Amnesty International.
The parents of the missing students refuse to accept the standstill and have led protests in Mexico and demand to know the truth about what happened to their sons.

Fair Pay
Today, April 28, 2009, is Equal Pay Day. Below find startling data collected by the National Women's Law Center.
Falling Short in Every State:
The Wage Gap and Harsh Economic Realities for Women Persist
In the United States, women are paid only
on average for every dollar paid to men.
More than 45 years ago, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform substantially equal work. The following year, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted, making it illegal to discriminate, including in compensation, on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, and national origin. At the time of the Equal Pay Act's passage in 1963, women were paid merely 59 cents to every dollar earned by men. Although enforcement of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII has helped to narrow the wage gap, significant disparities remain and must be addressed.

In my blog post of June 17th I tossed out the following challenge to you:
How about setting aside the 3rd Thursday of every month to take a 30 – 60 minute Recess with your team, group, department or company? Take it as an opportunity to share successes, build stronger relationships, get everyone involved in the new product development process. And if you need ideas on activities that are not only fun, but have been proven to impact the bottom line (which is what the boss wants to hear), come back here regularly. I'll be providing you with an activity of the month to do just that.
Well Thursday is that day. This Thursday the 16th, is the 3rd Thursday of September. Summer is over. And why not do what a lot of your kids are doing…………take a Recess. A break from the norm. A temporary cessation of the customary activities of an engagement. Take some time that day and celebrate. Here's a simple idea……..
September RECESSitation: Gather your team together and ask each of them to complete this sentence in 10 words or less:
- The thing I love most about my job is ________.
- I could do my job better if ______.
I bet you'll find more similarities than differences. I'll bet you'll find people offer you low or no cost ideas to the second question. The point here is to focus on what makes your place a great place to work and how each and every person can be better. Isn't that what you want?
Have fun! Have a great Recess. Let me know how it goes. I'll be spending Recess that day with the Alabama Parks & Recreation Association; giving them a well deserved RECESSitation from the busy season they just have come through.

How to Grow Great Cucumbers
The Gardeners Kitchen
Cucumber sandwiches will always remind me of my grandmother, my mother's mother, my nanny. Our next door neighbour back when I was much younger, used to grow cucumbers, my father focused on tomatoes, big beefsteak one, but Mr. Sanford grew a number of vegetables and cucumbers were one. He would share his surplus with us and my nanny would make sandwiches, in those days, on white bread with mayo and the crusts cut off. They were delicious.
Of course, the cucumber and tomato sandwich is a prince among sandwiches with a leaf of romaine lettuce and some black pepper it is a sandwich to be respected and devoured.
As the years rolled by, the cucumber remained a staple in our summer/fall kitchen. By now, I was adding lettuce and black pepper, then one day I decided to try combining two things that I liked peanut butter and cucumber and a new taste sensation was born. I still look forward to fresh cucumbers in season. The ones I get in the store in winter are too watery.
Another item that makes an ideal companion for the cucumber and tomato sandwich is a dill pickle, which is, that is correct, a cucumber. Cucumbers come in a number of varieties which include picklers, slicers, gherkins, white, and bush cukes. You can pickle or preserve any small cucumber,
Cucumbers are from the subtropics and grow best at relatively high temperatures, 65-75 degrees F being the ideal temperature range.
Frost is a serious threat and in northern climates you are best to start your cucumbers indoors about four weeks before you plant them out.
The cucumber is a demanding plant. They have an extensive root system that requires regular watering and good healthy soil to grow best. The plant will tolerate a variety of soils but it will do best in a loose well-drained soil that is complemented with organic matter such as well-rotted manure or compost before planting. The soil pH should be between 6.0 and 7.0.
If you have limited space you can still grow cucumbers, just think vertically. The vines of the cucumber will grow up a trellis and as long as the sunlight is available you can grow them in a large container with a trellis on your patio or balcony.
The best support for growing cucumbers vertically is the tomato cage. You will have to guide, at first, the vines through the wires of the cage or the trellis but in a short time they will know what to do.
Pests may be a problem and vigilance is the key. Aphids, cucumber beetles, leaf miners and squash bugs are the most common invaders.
Some advise keeping cucumbers away from potatoes, sage and aromatic herbs, on the other hand, good companions for your cucumbers are corn, peas, radishes, beans and sunflowers.
Cucumber Vine
- Cucumber Growing Tips
Cucumbers are a wonderfully rewarding crop to grow in your home garden. You can use cucumbers to pickle or to eat raw in salads. Cucumbers are highly nutritious and are a good source of sulfur, silicon, chlorine potassium, sodium, magnesium, and fluo
Take a 2 x4 and cut it in half lengthwise. At several locations (on one side ) screw in several screws leaving most exposed. Drive in the two boards at leact one foot into the ground and several feet apart. Now use plastic deer fence and just drape them to the screws. Plant the cucumbers in a trench at the base of the now hung fence. Shortly the plants will grow easily up the deer fence providing the grower with an over abundance of cukes.Watering is easily done because of the trench that they were planted in. You will have to keep the new small cukes from growing inside the small spaces in the fence.
Great hub! I just planted my cucumber seeds for this season! Cukes are one of our best selling crops at the farmers' markets and at the local grocery stores! Seems everyone has fond memories of cukes just as yourself...they are memory makers!
I had already decided to try growing cukes this year and this article was very helpful. Thanks.
I built a trellis for vining plants like cucumbers and squash or green beans. I used copper pipe thinking it would slow down the snails but the cucumber plants over whelmed the trellis and the snails won. There were fgewer but their was some. I spend some time looking under the leaves for the hiding pests when I am angry, better than the other things I thought of. The smell of a fresh cut cucumber is wonderfull. Keep growing and writing as I do enjoy your articles.
What a great Hub Bob, the memories of cucumber sandwiches really sets me reminiscing! I've never thought about growing cucumbers before, I'm not too sure why though. My usual harvest consists of several different tomato types, beans, peas and onions. I'll be certainly trying cucumbers next however, so fingers crossed. Most of my produce is grown indoors so I'm interested in seeing what happens!
my pickling cucumbers are round and yellow
Thanks!! I will try the trellis.
I am growing cucumbers in a topsy turvy....they seem to be doing ok have 1 cucumber so far, my question is...the vines are hanging down and are pretty long, they are touching the ground. Should this be ok or do I need to get a trellis for them? Also, will they grow down then up a trellis? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!! :)
a great dish for cukes, slice 1/4 inch thick along with some slices of fresh slices of tomatoes romas work well sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil a little fresh dill and basil and some crumples feta cheese, chill for about an hour before serving.
Thanks for the tips on growing cucumbers. Companion planting with peas, radishes, beans and corn not only utilizes your garden space more efficiently, the plants actually help each other.
never had a green thumb but i bet my wife would just love to read this hub. thanks!
I love tomato sandwiches and cucumber salad. Pickles are tasty from your own garden cucumbers Thanks!
Great a fellow Cucumber grower, great info Bob. @Marcofratelli, grin.. to me this sounds more like a daring analogy then a gardening fact. But then it all depends on your definition of a Cucumber patch :-).
Tzaziki is nice!!
Cucumber+yoghurt+garlic+mint = lovely greek tzatziki. Great as a dip and even better as a salad with a rice dish.
I heard if you're a woman and you expose yourself for a minute to the cucumber patch regularly, it helps to make them grow bigger. Similarly, it makes tomatoes blush redder. I don't know if that's true though... :)
My husbands family make a dish with cucumbers that you can drink at is great when it is hot you blend the cucumbers with a little lemon juice and and suger to tast you make thick or like a drink it might not sound good but it tast great.
I have ample gardening space but I still like to grow cucumbers vertically because they are much easier to see and pick.
I think a lot of people today forget about how great a cucumber sandwich can really be. Here in Florida they grow like weeds.
Thanks for answering my request Bob, it's always a pleasure! I think it may be just a bit cold where I live right now (I'm higher in elevation) but I will perservere! Thanks for the tips on companion plants too, I'll put them next to the peas next year.
Cukes are one of my favorites too - diced, with dill, yoghurt and a touch of balsamic vinegar. Yum!

Trip Overview
Socorro Island is part of the Revillagigedos, a group of small islands off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Dive sites include Socorro, San Benedicto & Roca Partida but may change due to ocean conditions.
You can see mantas in many places around the world, but nowhere else boasts a population of giant mantas that literally seek out interaction with divers and snorkellers. The behavior these giant mantas exhibit is almost inexplicable.
These gentle giants with a wingspan up to 20 feet consistently approach divers for intimate eye-to-eye encounters. If you are able to be calm and still in the water, you are almost sure to experience what we call "manta love."
Your journey will include four dives per day (subject to weather and unforeseeable circumstances)—each an opportunity to encounter resident pods of playful dolphins. You may also see up to 10 varieties of shark: schooling scalloped hammerheads, solitary giant hammerheads, Galápagos, whitetip reef, silver-tip, silky, tiger and oceanic whitetips.
The list also includes whale sharks and dusky sharks and on occasion even a thresher shark.
November and December boast the warmest water temps of the year in the low 80's. On most days, we enjoy visibility of 70 to 100 feet. When the current picks up, the ash from these volcanic isles can rise, reducing the visibility to 30 feet.
For the wide-angle experience that is big-animal diving, this isn't ideal. But, we're still cruising one of the most pristine underwater environments—so we then choose dives where we're closer to the reefs and marine life such as eels, octopuses and Socorro lobsters.
Trip boards at 8:00 pm on Dec 8, 2019 and disembarks at 8:30 am on Dec 16, 2019. Here's the sample itinerary:
- Day 1 - Meet at Nautilus dive center in the sunny vacation hotspot, Cabo San Lucas. Guests who wish to do the complimentary warmup dive at Lend's End must check into the dive center by 12:00 pm.
- Cabo Dive Center is located next to the main lobby and bar of the Tesoro Hotel on the picturesque walkway of the Cabo marina. Nautilus staff will be there to assist you with any rental gear you need, pre-trip day boat diving and the loan of a Nautilus LifeLine, Dive Alert and SMB. Your ship will be available for boarding at 8 p.m. and is just a short scenic stroll away, where appetizers and champagne will be waiting for you.
- Day 2 - Today is a traveling and relaxing day at sea. It is a one day run out to the islands. An orientation briefing will be held in the morning, followed by a fire and boat safety drill. We will be watching for the "green flash" at sunset, and we should arrive at San Benedicto Island that evening allowing you a calm night to relax and get a restful sleep before the next morning's excitement of diving with the friendliest giant mantas in the world.
- Day 3-7 - Over five full dive days you will be able to experience some of our favourite sites such as El Canyon, the Boiler, Red Rocks, Roca Partida, Cabo Pearse, Punta Tosca and Roca Oneal. We know that many of our guests want the option of as many dives as possible and we strive to offer an average of 4 dives a day, other than the day that we do our mandatory check-in at the local navy base when you will likely have the option of 3 dives plus our world-famous silky shark night snorkel. Our roots are in the cold, current-swept waters of BC and Alaska and we have always catered to experienced self-reliant divers looking for complete freedom on their dives. These divers are usually first in the water. We love buddying up with new divers looking for the reassurance of being with a dive master from the time they start gearing up until they are back on the big boat. Most divers are somewhere mid-spectrum between these 2 groups and we make sure they are very well looked after as well!
- Note that several dives may be quite challenging and not suitable for divers of lower experience levels. The number of dives on offer is subject to weather, the whims of Mother Ocean, and crowding by other diveboats.
- Day 8 - We will likely get underway very early this morning for the voyage back to Cabo San Lucas. This is the perfect day to check out photos and videos with the new friends you made onboard, pack your dive gear up and take time to relax before reality sets back in. The islands, the mantas, the sharks and the dolphins are almost "other worldly" and we hope the magic stays with you for a long time.
- Day 9 - Disembarkation in Cabo at 8:30am for either SJD airport or the dive center in Cabo San Lucas.
See how our 2018 trip to Socorro went. You can also read the reviews on diving Socorro here.
- Non-alcoholic drinks
- Tanks and weights
- 3 to 4 dives per day

- Prices do not include 5% Mexican VAT, departure tax & a possible fuel surcharge

- Nitrox available for $100 for the trip

The Nautilus Under Sea is a classic and beautiful small ship catering to small groups of only 18 divers. Many divers know her from her previous life as the Undersea Hunter of Cocos Island fame, but with massive upgrades including lengthening by 20 feet, a new superstructure, an enclosed dive deck and a host of other improvements, it is hard to recognize the original ship.
The special feature of this ship is the intimate group size combined with Nautilus spaciousness and luxury. WiFi is also available at $100/person.
Check out this page to see more details on the Nautilus Under Sea.
Workshops will be given daily on topics such as wide-angle underwater photography, ambient light shots, snorkeling with large animals, strobe exposure, and positions, avoiding backscatter and composition. Help underwater is also given.

"I am passionate about underwater photography in general and have a special love for macro subjects. For me the things that are hardest to spot hold the most interest. Documenting the commensal and symbiotic relationships is for me the most interesting…the smaller and more bizarre the better. I also have a passion for sharing my knowledge with others. My goal with all of my workshops is to ensure each guest leaves with a group of images that they are proud to share."

This week I set out to visit some new places and some I had previously visited. The reason for the planned revisits was to go to monuments that I thought would look good in 3D. Yes, 3D! I've bought one of Fuji's new 3D cameras and although I won't be able to share the proper 3D images with you all I will be putting up some anaglyph images for you all. So, it's time to go back to the 80s, get out those blue and red glasses and start seeing things in 3D. As soon as the images are up on megalithomania I will add a new section to the home page and there'll be a new section on the site pages. 3D glasses will be available from my shop.
Talking of the shop: I've mentioned t-shirts in the past. Well, I've got two designs ready that I'll be adding to the shop soon, too. There will be more on the way later on.
Back to the trip. Myself and my daughter visited sites in Kildare, Carlow and Wexford, basically doing a small circuit around Mount Leinster. We had planned a couple of Wicklow sites on the way home, but we couldn't keep ahead of the rain.
We tried to visit a portal tomb I've not been to, but thoroughbred horses and no owner at home stopped us. I'll be back there though, as I have contact information now. The main site of the day was St. Mullins. What a great place it is. There's so much to see: a holy well, a high cross, churches, a motte and bailey, more churches and a lovely little high cross. If you go in season there's a visitor centre, too.
