American Samplers
The earliest known American sampler was made by Loara Standish of the Plymouth Colony about 1645. By the 1700s, samplers depicting alphabets and numerals were worked by young women to learn the basic needlework skills needed to operate the family household. By the late 1700s and early 1800s, schools or academies for well-to-do young women flourished, and more elaborate pieces with decorative motifs such as verses, flowers, houses, religious, pastoral, and/or mourning scenes were being stitched. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their work, talent, and status.
In recent years, samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Many are signed, and some are inscribed with locations and the names of teachers and schools. The emergence of large numbers of these samplers has resulted in much research in diaries, account books, letters, newspaper ads, local histories, and published commentary that is helping to illuminate the lives of women in early America.
Many early samplers do not have the letters "J" and "U" in their alphabets because they were not part of the early Latin alphabet and so the letter "I" was used for "J" and the "V" for "U." The letter "s" is often replaced with the printers "s" which looks like the modern f.
There are 137 American samplers in the Textile Collection. The first was donated in 1886, the Margaret Dinsmoor sampler. In the 1890s the Copp Collection was received and it contained two samplers—one by Esther Copp and the other by her great niece Phebe Esther Copp. (The Copp Collection is an extensive collection of 18th-and 19th- century household textiles, costume items, furniture, and other pieces belonging to the Copps, a prosperous but frugal Connecticut family.) The earliest dated sampler in the collection was made in 1735 by Lydia Dickman of Boston, Massachusetts.

Betsy Bucklin's Sampler
- Description
- Betsey's sampler includes three distinguishing features of Rhode Island samplers; trumpeting angels with embroidered faces, queen stitch flowers, and a three-story house. Below the house, flanking flowers and birds is the verse:
- "While hof[s]tile foes
our coaf[s]ts Invade
in all the pomp of
war arrayd Ameri
cans be not dismayd
nor fear the f[s]word
or GUn
While Innocence is
all our pride and vir
tue is our only Guide
Women would f[s]corn
to be defyd if led by
- This verse on Betsy's sampler offers a rare opportunity to discover the political thinking of a young girl during the Revolutionary War. She is showing a brave female defiance of Britain and an unwavering faith in George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army. Betsy undoubtedly was influenced by her father who was a privateer during the Revolutionary War. At the bottom of the sampler, flanked by queen stitch flowers, is a cartouche with the inscription:
Bucklin Her
Work Septe

Farmers Market Fever: Needs More Cowbell
By Amanda Eamich, Director of New Media
Crowds drew near as Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan joined FRESHFARM Markets co-directors Ann Yonkers, Bernadine Prince and Chef Jose Andres for the grand re-opening of the 2010 season. At 3 PM, Merrigan and others raised their cowbells high and signaled that the market is open for business.
Behind the procession of local officials, chefs and market owners, Chef Andres' team prepared the eight-foot copper pan to prepare giant paella for visitors and passersby.
After the opening march, market co-director Ann Yonkers introduced Merrigan to this season's farmers and purveyors offering seasonal fruits and vegetables, meats, artisan cheeses, seafood, baked goods, flowers and more. Award winning cheeses, refreshing gelato and sausage samples filled the air with rich aroma.
At each vendor, Merrigan wished vendors a happy season and personal thanks for their support of the local market.
The FRESHFARM Market provides double dollars for food assistance recipients through a public-private partnership. This is a great example of building upon federal programs with private assistance. USDA provides grant opportunities and resources to farmer's markets nationwide.
Today's opening is a reminder of the Department's efforts to update the Farmers Market Directory. If you participate or know of a market that isn't listed, help us by completing the survey by May 14!
Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan opens the Freshfarm Market on Vermont Avenue in Washington, D.C., near the White House on Thursday, May 6, 2010. (L to R Chef at Potenza Jason Mayle, Farmfresh volunteer, Chef at Ici Urban Bistro Olivier Perret, Superstar Chef Jose Andres, Vice President of Operations Partner with Stir Food Group Ralph Rosenberg, Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan, Farmfresh Director Ann Yonkers, Vice President of Operations Partner with Stir Food Group Ralph Rosenberg, Farmfresh volunteer, Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Administrator Rayne Pegg, Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans, Farmfresh volunteer, Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner 2B Mike Silverstein, and Downtown DC Business Improvement District (BID) Executive Director Richard Bradley).
Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan wishes a vendor at the Freshfarm Market on Vermont Avenue in Washington, D. C., by the White House good luck on his sales.

Chapter 15
Samson burns the grain of the Philistines—They burn his wife and father-in-law—Samson slays a thousand Philistines at Lehi with the jawbone of an ass.
1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 ¶And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and
6 ¶Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and
7 ¶And Samson said unto them,
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 ¶Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 ¶And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.

By DR. RALPH K. MESSO
There is more and more bureaucratic red tape from insurance carriers, more stumbling blocks to get tests ordered, approved and performed. Decreased reimbursement from the carriers and increased malpractice premiums are also a few reasons.
Because Medicare and insurers fix fees, the only way PCPs can survive is to take on more and more patients. This, in turn, may mean spending less time with each patient. As a result, we often hear patients complain: "My doctor doesn't spend enough time with me."
A 2009 study by the American College of Physicians (ACP) compared the U.S. health system with those of 12 other countries and analyzed why the others had better medical outcomes with far less funding. Over and over the studies prove systems that have a PCP or what is deemed "medical home," always fare better.
The overhead in a PCP office runs about 65 percent, of which 40 percent is spent dealing with insurance companies. Another reason is that the earnings of PCPs are about half to a third of our colleagues in the more lucrative sub-specialties.
This correlates with the matching of residency spots this past year. Only about 42 percent of primary care spots were filled, while in orthopedic surgery, 94 percent were filled. It goes without saying that graduating medical students who often have at least $150,000 in debt, will choose the more lucrative specialties.
There is a new trend evolving in many parts of the country called "Concierge Medicine." Although not always looked upon favorably, it's another option for PCPs to remain in practice, and allows patients to continue receiving the quality care they deserve.
With concierge medicine, the patient pays the PCP a fixed amount of money, either monthly or yearly and is given "customized care." This means they often get the physician's home phone number, cell phone number and appointments that usually last upwards of one hour. This happens almost always on the same day the call is placed. The physician can then focus on "the patient" and not on survival.
Too much of the physician's time is spent taking care of the insurance carrier's work. Study after study has shown that patients who have a PCP often are healthier, and when an illness occurs, it is usually diagnosed at a much earlier stage.
Unfortunately most medical schools in this country favor over-specialization. Many of the "osteopathic" medical schools (schools granting Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degrees versus Allopathic that grants Medical Doctor degrees), highly promote the training of primary care physicians.
I am happy to say that there are many efforts to entice medical students to enter primary care on the horizon. Some include loan forgiveness and financial incentives to help get started in practice.
I only hope this occurs sooner than later.

Tweezerman Petite Tweeze Point/Slant Set in Navy Leather Case
- Overview
- Features
- Hand Filed Tips
- Stainless Steel
- About the brand
Mini me! The quality and precision of our slant and point tweezers miniaturized to 3-1/4" versions. The tweezers still feature hand-filed tips and are great for your purse or to pack for traveling.
Model#: #4048-R / SKU: R8650
Tips of Tweezers are hand-filed for precise tweezing. Petite size is great for purse or travel. Use the Slant Tweezer for eyebrows. Use Point Tweezer for fine hairs.
How To Use:
Always Tweeze int he direction of hair growth. Isolate the hair you are about to tweeze, pulling one hair at a time. Pull gently and smoothly, making sure not to yank. Wait at least five minutes before applying make-up.
Never drop Tweezers. This will dull the point and throw Tweezers out of alignment. Clean tweezers after use.
Tweezerman beauty tools have been the choice of make-up artists and beauty gurus for almost 30 years. Tweezerman gained popularity with the creation of the Slant tweezer, an Allure Editors' Choice pick and InStyle Best Beauty Buy. The Tweezerman collection features various tweezers and beauty accessories plus manicure and pedicure tools all with a lifetime guarantee.
Tweezerman TweezersI love these tweezers. Its the kind of craftsmanship I expect from tweezerman. I especially like the petite set because I have small hands. The slanted tweezer is perfectly aligned and sharp, really good to get those stubborn short (just growing in) hairs. The pointed tweezer is nice for ingrowns and splinters. Im an eyebrow fanatic and always buy tweezerman tweezers when my old ones get dull.

Not HappyI dont like the tweezers. They both have a tendency to cut the hair before I have a chance to pull it out. I dont like the finish on them. I was disappointed and went back to my old pair. Nice case.

I loved these shoes!
"I bought these shoes in navy blue for my wedding day and when they got here I loved them! They were beautiful and very delicate. The only problem I had was that they were slightly small so since I didn't want to have sore feet on my special day I returned for a half size bigger- but they sold out before I could get them!! I am so sad that I can't wear these shoes to my wedding- they would have been perfect. I wish I'd kept the too-small pair since that would have been better than not having them."

Transportation Energy Choices
Roughly half of all the energy used in California is used by the transportation sector. We use more than 18 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel a year. That's enough to drive a car, getting 30 mpg, to make more than 2,900 round trips to the sun and back.
We all know to turn off lights when we leave a room, and we all know about recycling beverage containers. But few of us think twice about hoping in the car for a quick trip to the market and then another trip to the bank and then another trip to the clothing store. And we rarely think about the cost of a gallon of gasoline or diesel unless the prices get too high.
With record high gasoline and diesel prices in 2008, many people were thinking twice about the choices they have when it comes to transportation. This section will help you understand the choices you can make in the vehicle you buy, the fuel it uses, how you drive, and the way you travel to school or work.

TSC Brings to the GPAC Stage Stephanie Shine, Dan McCleary, Susanna Perry Gilmore, Barry Gilmore For the First Production of the Sixth Season: Unto the Breach! The Un-Common Courage of William Shakespeare
(Memphis, TN, August 13, 2013) – – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, presents an original production of Unto the Breach! The Un-Common Courage of William Shakespeare on stage September 7 at 7:30 pm and September 10 at 7:00 pm at Germantown Performing Arts Center to benefit the restoration of classical education programming to the Company's community schoolrooms.
Arranged and performed by TSC Founder and Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary and resident actor/Education Director Stephanie Shine, Unto the Breach! will also feature the Memphis return of violinist Susanna Perry Gilmore (formerly with Memphis Symphony Orchestra, now concertmaster with the Omaha Symphony) and Barry Gilmore on guitar, hammered dulcimer, and percussion.
In addition to the September 7 and 10 public performances, the Benefit will play a special all-school matinee on September 10 at 7:00 pm with discounted school tickets made possible by TSC's sponsors. A talk-back with the actors and musicians will follow the performance.
Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE for both public performance when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit four per guardian.
Benefit tickets are $30, and seating is general admission. Press Opening is September 7 at 7:30 pm. General Admission tickets may be purchased now at (901) 759-0604 or www.tnshakespeare.org.
Generous Benefit sponsors include The Barbara B. Apperson Angel Fund, ArtsMemphis, Nancy and Dan Copp, Germantown Performance Arts Center/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall, Independent Bank, Milton T. Schaeffer, and the family of Margaret and Owen B. Tabor.
Actors McCleary and Shine (Gertrude in TSC's acclaimed Hamlet), a real-life married couple, share the stage for the first time together in this fun and moving 90-minute performance that explores the courage of William Shakespeare through his plays' characters: the courage of the heart, of conviction, of creativity, and of forgiveness. McCleary and Shine have more than 55 collective years of playing Shakespeare on stage, including more than 30 major/title roles.
The Gilmores, also a real-life married couple, are founding members of TSC, having performed in the inaugural productions of As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream. They have performed in their own Celtic band, Planet Reel, for many years, with Mrs. Gilmore long-acclaimed for her virtuoso work on the violin for more than two decades in symphonic and chamber orchestras.
Live Celtic and classical music will weave together scenes from King Lear, As You Like It, The Winter's Tale, Much Ado About Nothing, Coriolanus, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, Love's Labor's Lost, Richard III, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Henry V.
"When TSC lost substantial funding for our education programming in the classrooms for this year, we put the call out to our patrons and friends to lend us their support as they could," explains McCleary. "Our elected officials and TSC received over 200 letters and calls of support. Scores of supporters showed at City Hall to speak on TSC's behalf. Our friends at ArtsMemphis lept into the breach with us, and then the National Endowment for the Arts/Arts Midwest recognized TSC as one of just 40 theatre companies in the United States as having an education and performance program worthy of receiving a substantial matching grant. This was deeply heartening and very helpful, but we still need additional funds to ensure we can provide a substantial level of education service in our community. That's when we came up with the idea for a benefit performance inspired by our supporters. Courage was the theme.
"It is true that we have fought mightily for our funding to be sustained, but in hearing children speak on our behalf and in observing the quiet grace and steely resolve of so many supporters, I was reminded of Shakespeare's many faces of courage. It isn't just the courage to fight. Sometimes he examines the courage it takes to shift one's philosophy, to admit a wrong, to break rules in order to create something new, to will a thing into being, and to forgive others. So, this piece will benefit our education restoration, but we also hope it will be a reminder to all of us of how courage can be a revolutionary force. We also plan on it being a fun and light evening, especially with Susanna and Barry returning to play with us live on stage. The text will share the space with music that is beautiful, traditional, and enlivening."

- New Board Members and Officers for 2016-17
- TSC Announces Full Ninth Season
Join Us for the First Southern Literary Salon of the Season:
Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth
January 27
We return to our popular Southern Literary Salon for a look at the ever-changing vision of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, life-long daughter of Jackson, Mississippi.
Please join us for Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth at Nancy Copp's hidden though welcoming Germantown home on Friday, January 27 from 6:00-8:00pm.
The evening features fun Southern food, conversation, thirty minutes or so of readings from Welty's works, and a mixed spirit of the author's liking. Tickets for the Welty Salon only are $55 and include all of the above. Tickets for the Welty and Flannery O'Connor Salon (April 21), when purchased together, are only $100 (a savings of $10).
Curated and read by TSC artist Stephanie Shine, assisted by actors Dan McCleary, Jillian Barron, and Marquis Archuleta, Mississippi Myth will employ text from among Welty's works, likely including her short stories in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and award-winning The Optimist's Daughter.
Welty (1909-2011) described writing fiction as "a personal act of vision." She was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, though her literary home seemed to be nestled in experimentation. Her vast skill-set ranged from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history. Welty was recognized for her work with 40 major literary awards, 38 honorary doctorate degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"It had been startling and disappointing to me," wrote Welty, "to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ..."Read More

Tennessee Shakespeare Company
Announces Full Ninth Season of Plays and Educational Activities for 2016-17
(Memphis, TN; August 11, 2016) -- Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South's professional, classical theatre, today announced its full 2016-17 season of plays, outreach programs, and Education initiatives in the Memphis area and beyond.
Launching TSC's ninth season is its first production of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Directed by TSC Founder and Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary, the adaptation will perform in the Wiener Theater on the campus of Hutchison School in East Memphis from September 20 through October 2. The play is produced in partnership with Hutchison. The cast of 20 actors features Broadway veteran Patrick Ryan Sullivan as Atticus Finch, Memphian Ainsley Geno as Scout, and the return of TSC favorite Tony Molina, Jr. as Rev. Sykes.
Early Bird tickets are on sale now for To Kill a Mockingbird: the first 24 seats sold to each performance will be located in the new Best Seats section of the theatre.
In the winter, TSC returns to Dixon Gallery & Gardens for the holiday season with an elegant, celebratory Much Ado About Nothing befitting the season of cheer. Shakespeare's romantic comedy, directed by McCleary, plays on the Winegardner Auditorium stage December 8-18.
The fun continues in early summer with Shakespeare's boisterous comedy of mistaken identities. The Comedy of Errors, produced in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, will play the U of M mainstage June 8-18, 2017.
The Southern Literary Salons return, featuring the works of Eudora Welty (Mississippi Myth) on January 27 and Flannery O'Connor (Georgia Gothic) on April 21. These literary parties in beautiful, private homes from 6:00-8:00 pm curate readings, light fare, and writer-specific libations.
Back by popular demand is The Shakespeare Brunch, featuring abbreviated, staged readings of a redemptive The Winter's Tale (November 20) and a provocative The Merchant of Venice (May 21) preceded by an expansive brunch buffet and bar. Acted by some of TSC's best-known actors, the Brunches run from 12:30-3:30 pm inside the elegant Memphis Hunt & Polo Club.
The season also includes the Eighth Annual Shakespeare Gala, bringing to Memphis a new Broadway headliner on Friday, March 10, 2017, at Germantown Performing Arts Center. The Gala, complete with lavish dinner and open bars located throughout the theatre, supports TSC's nationally-acclaimed Education Program.
This season, the Education Program significantly expands its anti-violence schools residency and performance schedule of The Romeo and Juliet Project. Nine actor/teaching-artists will work in over 20 schools, largely underserved, in Shelby County from September through February, reaching more than 6,000 students. Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, a fun 2-actor introduction to the playwright's essential scenes and soliloquies, will tour schools and theatres throughout the southeastern United States. Both productions are created and directed by TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine.
TSC's generous Mainstage title sponsors include FedEx; Dorothy O. Kirsch; Ernest, Pat, Martha, & Marian Kelly; Independent Bank; Tennessee Arts Commission; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and The University of Memphis.
TSC's season partners are Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Hutchison School, Shelby County Schools, St. George's Church, and the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance. The season is funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee.
"Our ninth season is a response both to the world's recent events and to our patrons' desires," says McCleary. "To Kill a Mockingbird is an American masterpiece of the 20th Century. It is time for each of us to pick up Harper Lee's novel and read or re-read it. In Much Ado About Nothing, we are a nation of peace at home and abroad, and in this dream we go pleasure-seeking. Still, uninhibited love is surprisingly difficult to give away in this environment, to both comedic and tragic effect. And in Comedy of Errors, famous for its physical and archetypal humor, we find ourselves in a world in which the mortal threat to immigrants cannot prevent this non-traditional family, even after years of separation, from making a heart-felt discovery.
"I am deeply grateful to our season sponsors, production partners, and over 300 donors who make professional, classical theatre and our education programming possible. The work we do with children in our schools is immediate, impactful, proven, and a powerful model for successful replication throughout the United States. We live in a time when the arts, and experiencing Shakespeare's plays, need to be at the center of our national educational curriculum, not subsisting on the fringes. They are not a luxury, they are for everyone. The works of William Shakespeare are our birthright, and if they are supported educationally and financially then we see first-hand how our children enthusiastically embrace his compassion, his poetry, and his open-hearted query of humanity."Read More

After Praiano , just past the tiny picturesque harbour . Marina di Praia , which is protected by the watch-tower of assiola , the coast road leads to the viaduct spanning the dizzying heights of the fjord at Furore . The Schiatro stream flowing down the mountain face once turned the wheel of a paper mill whose presence confirms that in bygone years this narrow cove was used as a delivery point for goods right until the coast road was finally opened the last century .The seemingly never –ending steps wind their way over the mountain ridge as far as the upper part of the village , which is perched on the hills of San Elia , San Michele and San Giacomo and extends over area of almost two square kilometres . The Church of saint Elijah (Sant Elia ) , built in 1478, contains a triptych of the Virgin . St Elijah and St Bartholomew ( 1482) painted by Angelo Antonello da Capua and considered one of the most important art works to be seen along the Coast . Carrying on along the trunk road , visitors come to an opening on the right which overlooks Conca dei Marini and stands directly above the Emerald Grotto , one of the largest and most famous of the coastal grottos . Discovered in 1932 , it measures 45 metres by 32 metres . Daylight filters thought an entrance way which lies almost 12 metres underwater , causing it to refract and change colour , re-appearing as an intense emerald green inside the cavern . The changes in sea level over the years are evidenced by the columns of stalactites and stalagmites , some of which actually rise up out the water . These are numerous indications that the grotto is karstic in origin . From a biological point of view , there is a predominance of sea sponges which , given the lack of light , have lost their natural colour due to the presence of small symbiotic algae .
Among the most important coelenterates to be found in the area is the rare Anemonactis mazely . This actinia usually hides from the light and lives buried in the sea bed , only coming out cloaked in a bright pink colour to made during the winter months . By land the grotto can be reached by lifts from the road above or by a flight of steps with a spectacular view of the coastline , or by sea by anchoring at the small quay in front of the entrance . At the Capo di Conca headland , a Massive tower named after Charles V watches over the coastline . In 1543 the rowers of five Turkish galleys disembarked here and ransacked the Church of St Pancrazio ( Chiesa di San Pancrazio ). Stripping it of its art treasures . In response , the local inhabitants decided to build a tower after receiving authorisation from Charles V. Extending across the mountain ridge , the municipality of Conca dei Mrini lies slightly higher than the tower almost 200 metres above sea level . It consists of ( two villages , Tovere and Vettica Minore , whose church and majolica –tiled bell-tower is home to the Madonna of the Rosary ( 16th century) attributed to the Sienna painter , Marco Pino . down ar the bottom of the Capo della vite promontory at sea level stands the tower bearing the same name . Built between 1569 -70 , this tower has a large barrel-vaulted room whose spacious embrasured terrace houses the guardroom .
Conca dei Marini
It's called Conca dei marini (seafarers'basin ) but a more appropriate name would be Conca Di Cielo (heaven's basin) . in other words , there is a touch of the divine in this village . Its houses are not amassed , but scattered here and they are all surrounded by greenery , they are neither tall nor haughty , they are one –family homes built simply in accordance with tradition : small cushion –shaped cupolas , small roofed balconies , and external stairs .they are white , their thick walls have rounded edges , and are not framed by eaves . From the sea one can pick them out quite easily because Conca is like a large book laid open on the hills as if on a book –rest Originally this land was called Cossa and Scholars say that it was a Province of ancient Rome. It is small , but perhaps one day is not enough to visit it .
Its "Emerald Grotto" , a cave nested in the silent , solemn folds of the coastal hem , is quite unique. Raffaele Calzini wrote that in Conca there is also a "retired" Naturally it is most beautiful one of all the coast because it is perched atop a picturesque , mighty promontory towering above incredibly blue waters .The sea-shore village is a delightful sight with its small houses rising almost on the water line and the small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows which every year becomes a blaze of colour and light for the celebrations of the fifth of Augusto.
Jaqueline Kennedy , the Queen of Holland and Gianni Agnelli have all been here to swim in these waters . The coast is particularly suited to fishing , including the fishing of precious coral : in summer specialized divers come here to seek it on the underwater rocks. Up on high stands the former convent, now a hotel that bears the same name , where the famous "sfogliatella" was invented in the 18th century. Conca is the perfect place for a sojourn. It is a cheerful place and it cheerfully welcomes its visitors .
" The Sogliatella "
If you happen to climb up the meandering road that from the Amalfi leads up to Agerola perched aloft on the mountain top , when you come into sight of the unmistakable shape of majestic , austere building set midway between sky and sea, stop in your steps , don't go any further . You have come upon the former Santa Rosa Convent , the ancient residence of Dominican nuns , now a hotel bearing the same name . It is here , in this delightful , secluded spot that the world renowned " santarosa sfogliatella "was born , the fruit of the inventiveness and skilfulness of nuns who decided to christen their sweet creation with the name of the 17th century Monastery.
No effort is needed to imagine , in the silence of the cloisters , the laborious brisk activity of the meek nuns who, with the meticulousness typical of liturgical rites , get to work with flour , sugar and milk to create the suggestive shape and blonde colour of that exquisite cake whose taste and flavour are unparalleled . The idea of creating the "sfogliatella "which dates from the early decades of the 18th century , first crossed the minds of the nuns in one of those days every two weeks-when they were used to baking the bread necessary for convent use . As a small amount of leavened dough had been left over , instead of throwing it away , they added some lard , some sugar (ingredients of which their pantries were never short )and glass of white "San Nicola "wine , produced by themselves and jealously guarded in the cool cellars of the convent . Having carefully rolled out the dough, they cut out large disks "pettole"about the size of a regular Neapolitan pizza In the centre of one disk they laid a few spoonfuls of "bianco mangiare "
(a kind of cream , white in colour made of bran-flour , milk and sugar ) , a few pieces of dried fruit (above all pears and apricots produced in abundance in their luxuriant orchards and desiccated with loving care during the hot summer on the brightly sunlit terraces of the convent ) , a few fragments of toasted hazelnuts (these too a produce of the convent's hazel grove ) and as delicious finishing touch , one or two wild black cherries in syrup 8 in the preparation of which they were unsurpassed masters )
On top they placed the other "pettola"and then moulded the dough so as to give it the characteristic shape of a shell or monk's hood .
Finally , with the baker's shovel generally used for their bread , they slipped their creation into the still hot oven.
What a great surprise , when , some time later , they took the pastry out of the oven and found that it gave off the sweetest of smells which immediately enveloped the whole convent . With great curiosity they hastened to taste it and having verified that is was unbelievably delicious , they celebrated the event with great glee in the yards of the cloister , amazed that their intuition had produced such great fruits :but of course it never crossed their minds that they had actually worked a " confectionery miracle " destined to last in time and become famous .
The initiative met with great success and the fame of the novel pastry soon reached every corner of the region . The Mother Superior of the convent at this point had a brilliant idea . She decided that the convent at this point had a brilliant idea . She decided that the "sfogliatella " would be distributed free of charge , to all the inhabitants of the city through the "Ruota lignea "(the wooden revolving door of convents ) on a special day , very dear to the hearts of the nuns , the day of the festivities held in honour of their protector St. Rosa of Lima which falls in August .
And it was the intention of reviving and relaunching this historical- cultural event that prompted the town Administration of Conca dei Marini to establish an annual "Festival of the Santarosa "to be held in August , a festival which soon gained world renown.

Apparently this guy doesn't know he was channeling sex gods, but he openly admitted he regrets a lot of his style-decisions in the past, from corn rows in his pop-star days to the denim-on-denim suit he wore to the American Music Awards in 2011.
He commented:
"God, I feel I've gone to therapy just to erase some of them. The cornrows I wore with 'N Sync. That was pretty bad. Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I'd probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet."
Too late, rhinestone cowboy.

ah they lost against america in ot
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Hopefully later on there will be some type of continuation of it.
It's good that it ended before becoming weak, and that it still leaves room to continue the story. I'm still sad it ended because it always proved one of the best reads of the week. So, farewell.
I didn't realize chapter 333 was the last chapter T_T! My fav series has ended....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I really wanna know about Sena and Panther's little competition. Best runner in the era...referring to Sena beating 4.1seconds in the 40 yard dash? But a panel shows Panther holding the trophy, which means he won it for the team by running at his fastest speed. Nooo....I'm seriously disappointed. This manga actually got me hooked on to American Football...
If you like manga, then help me out! :]
Manga I enjoy reading/finished reading:
One Piece, Eyeshield 21, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Mahou Sensei Negima, Shaman King, D. Gray-Man, Air Gear, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Full Metal Alchemist, Psyren, Black Cat, Soul Eater, Satan 666, Death Note, Elfen Lied, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Bakuman, King of Thorn
pretty obvious this chap (333) was going to be last, i thought 332 made it really obvious.
suprising...it ended well (suprising, since i find many endings disappointing - like PoT, though its now being continued =_='')

This will hurt Postal Service's future as well as tens of millions of Americans.
The effort by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to end Saturday mail delivery is a non-starter on many levels.
OUR VIEW: Postal Service just trying to save itself
First, he lacks the legal authority to do this. Decisions on delivery schedule are the purview of Congress, and every year for the past 30 years, America's elected representatives have mandated six-day delivery — a requirement remaining in force today.
Mr. Donahoe isn't above the law. Further, his attempted power grab flouts the political will of Congress; as recently as the last session, which ended in January, a bipartisan majority of representatives co-sponsored measures backing continuation of Saturday delivery.
It's not surprising that many lawmakers have questioned Mr. Donahoe's legal overreach, or that his explanations are so evasive.
On the merits, it's a disastrous idea. The postmaster general proposes trading 17% of service for 2% in savings — an irrational business plan. Indeed, when the USPS asked the agency's overseer, the Postal Regulatory Commission, in 2011 to support ending six-day delivery, this illogic was one of the factors cited by the commission in declining to endorse the plan.
So, too, was the finding that the savings were wildly inflated. The commission also noted that ending Saturday delivery would disproportionately affect the elderly, rural communities and small businesses. Those small businesses create more than two-thirds of all jobs in this country, and forcing them to hire expensive private contractors on weekends would impose new costs.
So ending Saturday delivery would jeopardize the USPS' future by sacrificing its competitive advantage, hurt tens of millions of Americans — and it wouldn't even solve the agency's financial woes.
That's because most of the red ink has nothing to do with postal operations. Rather, 80% of the red ink stems directly from the 2006 congressional mandate that the Postal Service do something no other agency or company is required to do: pre-fund future retiree health benefits. That mandate accounted for $11.1 billion in red ink in fiscal 2012 alone.
The postmaster general should address that problem, rather than seeking to override his authority by eviscerating a network that provides residents and businesses with the world's most efficient and affordable delivery service while uniting this vast country.
Fredric Rolando is the president of the National Association of Letter Carriers.

Just the right amount of bling!
"I love these sandals. I had a pair very similar to these for the past 4 years, but they were starting to fall apart, so I was happy to find these in the clearance section of my local store. They have a slight padding to them which makes them super comfy, and the bling is just enough to catch the eye without making them look gaudy."

The Emery High Lady Spartan softball team played six games last week and won four of those games. Emery hosted region-foe Grand and defeated that team 9-8. Emery then traveled to Delta and defeated the Rabbits 7-6. On Saturday, Emery traveled to Payson and played four games.
Emery played one 2-A team, two 3-A teams and one 4-A team in the Payson tournament. Emery first played Cedar and lost 9-3. That game was followed by a game against Westlake which the Spartans won 8-4. Emery then lost to host Payson 9-1 and ended the day by playing South Sevier and defeating the Rams 12-4.
Against Grand, Emery scored the first run in the bottom of the first inning to lead 1-0. Both teams scored a run in the third inning and Grand scored a run in the fourth inning and the score was tied 2-2. Rain delayed the game several times up to this point.
Emery scored four times in the fifth inning and three more times in the sixth inning while giving up just a single run in the top of the sixth. Emery led 9-3 going into the final inning. That inning made the Spartan fans nervous but the Spartans held on, got the third out and won the tough region contest.
Jeridi Price got the win while giving up nine hits throughout the game including two doubles, a triple and a home run. The Emery batters also got nine hits throughout the game which included a double by Auminee Bennett, a triple by Price and a home run by Bryton Hess.
At Delta, Emery opened the scoring by scoring three runs in the top of the second inning. Delta responded by scoring four runs in the bottom of the inning to grab the lead. Delta added another run the next inning to lead 5-3 after four innings.
Emery then held Delta to a single run in the bottom of the fifth inning the rest of the way while the Lady Spartans added two runs in the fourth inning and two more runs in the fifth inning to regain the lead at 7-6. Neither team was able to score in the sixth or seventh innings. Emery will travel to South Sevier this Tuesday and will then host San Juan on Friday.

Not all of us may want larger, fuller lips. Many people (both men and women) believe that their lips are too big, and want them reduced. Younger patients are often plagued by insecurities brought on by having larger than average lips and the teasing their classmates may do. These younger patients should wait until their late teens to have their lip size reduced due to maturing of the facial features.
Macrocheilia or prominent lips has multiple etiologies affecting one or both lips. Those caused by disease can become a functional issue and not simply cosmetic in nature.
Congenital causes include
- Double lip deformity occurs because of the persistence of the transverse sulcus between the inner lip (pars villosa) and the outer lip (pars glabra), resulting in glandular hypertrophy along with redundant labial mucosa. The excess tissue forms an accessory lip, which is apparent during smiling. The underlying orbicularis oris muscle is not involved.
- Labial "pits" -- usually described as blind epidermal invaginations of lip mucosa with occasional drainage of minor salivary gland secretions
- Ethnic variations demonstrate diffuse thickening of all lip structures and may require resection of muscle.
Acquired causes include
- Trauma -- result in an inflammatory infiltration leading to fibrosis and subsequent lip enlargement
- Infections
- Neoplasms
- Syndromes
- Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndome -- Miescher granulomatous macrocheilitis is a mono-symptomatic presentation of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome that is characterized by granulomatous swelling of the lips. The full syndrome is a condition characterized by the triad of facial paralysis, facial edema, and lingua plicata (furrowed tongue), similarly results in an infiltrative process of the lips.
- Ascher syndrome is identical to double lip deformity with associated blepharochalasis and endocrine disorders.
- Port-wine (capillary) vascular malformations that enlarge the lips (port-wine macrocheilia) are a different category of lesions that have a different pathophysiology and may require complex reconstruction.
The patient will most often present complaining of prominent lips or facial disproportion. The protruding lip or lips often stand out as the most prominent feature of the face, attracting undesirable attention.
Functional difficulties may include labial incompetence, interfere with speech, problems with salivary control (drooling), and problems with mastication (chewing).
The lip and its relationship to other facial structures are evaluated by frontal and profile views. If there is a possibility of underlying dental or facial bone problems to explain the prominent lips, then appropriate x-rays should be done. It is important to assess the lips and the relationship to the nose and chin.
From the face-on-view, evaluate the visible vermilion (vertical height) and the transverse lip excess.
From the profile view, evaluate the upper to lower lip relationship as well as the degree of lip eversion.
Prominent lips are not always the result of lip volume but may be caused by lip ectropion or labial eversion. Furthermore, the orbicularis musculature is assessed for its tone and muscular ring for its competence.
Medical therapy has limited usefulness in treating prominent lips. It can however help alleviate the underlying cause or associated anomalies. Steroid therapy, antibiotics, salazosulfapyridine, and radiation have shown limited success.
The goals of lip reduction surgery are to achieve a harmonious upper to lower lip relationship that is in balance with the entire face as well as to attain normal lip competence.
The treatment of macrocheilia is should be individualized to the etiology and patient's needs. Some general principles include the following:
- Correct underlying dento-osseous (teeth/bone)deformities.
- Establish a balance between upper and lower lips with the individual patient in mind
- Do not reduce lips if excessive interlabial distance exists.
- Optimal frontal aesthetics is more important than profile aesthetics
The basic surgical procedure of lip reduction surgery is a transverse fusiform or elliptical
The basic surgical procedure of lip reduction surgery is a transverse fusiform or ellipticalmucosal incision between 1 and 1 cm dorsal to the vermillion border between the lateral commissures (Conway method). W- or Z-plasties may be added to prevent dog ears.
The Mouly method may be added. This method includes the excision of two sagittal triangular wedges at the lateral eminences of the philtrum. This enables the natural protrusion of the eminences and the normal central depression of the upper lip to be preserved. The undermining of the wound edges should be limited to that needed for appropriate tissue apposition. Closure of the resection defects is usually performed in two layers, and sutures are removed 7 to 10 days after surgery.
At other times, a wedge excision may be most appropriate.
Surgical methods. A and B, Conway procedure with transverse sickle-shaped mucosal excision. C and D, Conway procedure in sagittal projection, with excision of mucosal and submucosal tissue. E and F, Central wedge excision. G and H, Z-plasty after wedge resection. I and J, Mouly procedure. (from the second reference article)
Some tips from Drs Dev and Wang's article:
- When designing the incision it is imperative to place the anterior aspect of the incision posterior to the lip seal and wet line (transition from inner mouth mucosa and vermillion).
- Avoid the area of Cupid's bow as well. Cupid's bow should always be preserved during correction of a prominent upper lip since it is an important landmark of the lip.
- The marking should be made prior to the use of local anesthetics, which tend to distort the lip architecture.
- The goal should be removal of hypertrophied labial glands, fibrosis from an infiltrative process, or generalized thickened redundant tissue.
- In the upper lip, macrocheilia usually affect the lip in the vertical dimension. If the dry vermilion is not excessively large, the reduction surgery is designed as a transverse ellipse behind the wet line. However, if the entire vermilion is enlarged, then design of the excision may include the dry vermilion.
Unfortunately, all surgery has risks and complications.
Chance of asymmetry
Hypertrophic scarring
Numbness -- usually subsides within the first few weeks, but may be permanent
General dissatisfaction

On Sept. 1, 2013, Pope Francis called for a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria and throughout the world, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 7. The Pope made the announcement during the course of remarks ahead of the traditional Angelus prayer. An excerpt from his remarks:
"I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church on 7 September next, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative... [W]e will gather in prayer and in a spirit of penance, invoking God's great gift of peace upon the beloved nation of Syria and upon each situation of conflict and violence around the world. Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!"
See the full text of the Holy Father's Angelus appeal.
Excerpts from the Address of Pope Francis to the Bishops of Brazil, July 2013
"Dear brothers, the results of our pastoral work do not depend on a wealth of resources, but on the creativity of love. To be sure, perseverance, effort, hard work, planning and organization all have their place, but first and foremost we need to realize that the Church's power does not reside in herself; it is hidden in the deep waters of God, into which she is called to cast her nets.

UDM celebrates the election of Jesuit Argentine Cardinal Bergoglio as Pope Francis
Message from the President:
On behalf of the University of Detroit Mercy community, I want to express our prayerful wishes and appreciation for Pope Francis as he begins his solemn ministry as Bishop of Rome, Successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ for the Universal Church.
We are especially pleased that Pope Francis is a member of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits). He is well known for his commitment to social justice and his compassion for the poor.
Throughout the University community, we will be praying for him and for the Catholic Church as he guides the Church and its people in the coming years.
As we rejoice in the election of the Catholic Church's new Pope, let us express our confidence and trust in Jesus Christ, who has guided the Cardinals in this important selection.

President Garibaldi joined Archbishop Allen Vigneron and Metro Detroit business and government leaders for the 2013 Paul W. Smith St. Patrick's Day Celebration at the Detroit Athletic Club. While there, WJR's morning show host interviewed Dr. Garibaldi about the new Jesuit pope and UDM's future plans.
YouTube: Three Jesuit priests at UDM, including Fr. John Staudenmaier, S.J., UDM's assistant to the president for Mission and Identity, are featured in this March 13, 2013 report on WXYZ-TV (Channel 7 Detroit) about the election of the first Jesuit pope, Francis.
In the name of the Society of Jesus, I give thanks to God for the election of our new Pope, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., which opens for the Church a path full of hope.
All of us Jesuits accompany with our prayers our brother and we thank him for his generosity in accepting the responsibility of guiding the Church at this crucial time. The name of "Francis" by which we shall now know him evokes for us the Holy Father's evangelical spirit of closeness to the poor,his identification with simple people, and his commitment to the renewal of the Church. From the very first moment in which he appeared before the people of God, he gave visible witness to his simplicity, his humility, his pastoral experience and his spiritual depth.
"The distinguishing mark of our Society is that it is . . . a companionship. . . bound to the Roman Pontiff by a special bond of love and service."(Complementary Norms, No. 2, § 2) Thus, we share the joy of the whole Church, and at the same time, wish to express our renewed availability to be sent into the vineyard of the Lord, according to the spirit of our special vow of obedience, that so distinctively unites us with the Holy Father(General Congregation 35, Decree 1, No. 17).
P. Adolfo Nicolás S.J.
Superior General
Rome, 14 March 2013
With great joy and gratitude to God, the New England Province of the Society of Jesus welcomes our new Holy Father, Francis.
Dear Friends,
It is an extraordinary moment in the life of the Church. Although we are, of course, excited about the Holy Father's Jesuit roots, we are more excited about his ministry to the Universal Church and pray for courage and wisdom for him as he begins this journey of faith.
In a special way, the Holy Father, who has, as a Jesuit, prayed the prayer known as the Suscipe,has now entered in a even more radical way into the meaning of this prayer of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits:
Take Lord, receive all my liberty. Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. Whatsoever I have or hold, You have given me; I give it all back to You and surrender it wholly to be governed by your will. Give me only your love and your grace, and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more.
Join me in praying for our new Holy Father. Please also enjoy reading the media coverage of commentary and reflections by Jesuits which we've gathered on the province website.
Sincerely in the Lord,
Fr. Myles Sheehan,
SJ Provincial
Statement on Pope Francis from the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas
We join with people throughout the world in hope and prayer for our new pope. May the blessing of the people that Pope Francis invited enrich our common journey of faith.
Thoughts from the Sisters of Mercy in Argentina on the new Pope, Francis I:
"Francis I was the Jesuit Provincial during the military rule (where too much sorrow was felt). Then he became Bishop of Buenos Aires, then Archbishop and, for the past ten years, he has been the Cardinal Primate of Argentina. He is a man of conservative profile, very simple, one who lives an austere life. He has been present in a very pastoral manner to those who live in the slums surrounding Buenos Aires. Also, in speaking to the priests of the archdiocese, he has denounced injustice and governmental corruption. He is against abortion and all the unresolved issues that today we need to look at. He can be described as a moderate personality—one who would be unlikely to conduct an investigation of Religious and one who might feel like cleaning up some of the corruption in the Vatican."
AJCU President's Statement on Election of First Jesuit Pope
"It has been a truly historic day for the Society of Jesus as we learned that our brother, Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio, was selected to lead the Catholic Church as Pope Francis I. As Jesuits, we emphasize social justice in our ministry, and we are gratified to have a leader who will continue to live out this mission on a global stage. We pray that the Pope's grounding in Ignatian spirituality will guide him as he carries out this extraordinary calling to lead the Church of the 21st century."
Rev. Gregory F. Lucey,
SJ President, AJCU

Preceding, and partly in preparation for the Old Spanish Trail conference in June 2012, later this month there will be two days of training for up to a dozen volunteers from Sevier, Emery and Piute counties. This will be the first trail stewardship course ever conducted in Utah, on Oct. 21-22, and will be focused on and prepare the stewards to assist with work understanding and promoting the Fish Lake Cut-off.
These volunteers will have the opportunity to be important community ambassadors and advocates for this most important newly rediscovered segment of the Old Spanish National Historic Trail. They will assist public land managers by performing monitoring assessments, exploring, serving as site monitors, surveyor-recorders, and interpreters. They will not be law enforcement persons or certified archeologists, but they will be in the forefront of helping the community become much more aware of this important historic treasure in our midst.
This segment of the trail has dramatically visible remnants, literally "artifacts in place," largely discovered by Bob Leonard and Lydia Jakovac of the Fish Lake National Forest Service. The federal law provides that "each federal land manager shall establish a program to increase public awareness of the significance of the archeological resources located on public lands and the need to protect such resources." The newly-trained trail stewards will be in the forefront of this effort.
Another segment of the applicable legislation states that "certain individuals and organizations with a demonstrated interest in the undertaking's effects on historic properties" are encouraged to become involved in essentially the first line of protection and promotion of those resources.
Some of this training will be classroom instruction, with other portions being conducted out on the trail. Several meals will be provided and it will be a most satisfying and important experience for those who become involved.
If interested in becoming a steward, contact David Ogden as soon as possible at 435-896-5232.
