A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
A respected comic-book artist tackles the Trojan War
In a field of publishing dominated by superheroes did you have a tough time selling the idea of ancient history, especially ancient history that is archaeologically accurate?
As far as the archaeological aspects of the story, what first attracted me to the story of the Trojan War was the story itself. The fact that there's been so many different versions of many different episodes down the centuries, and I was fascinated with the challenge of reconciling all the different versions and coming up with one long, coherent story line. But, immediately, when I realized I wanted to tell this particular story, I knew that I was going to have to set it in the exact time period where the Trojan war took place. That's what it would have looked like, and I wanted to show it as accurately as possible. I also wanted to sort of challenge people in their assumption that the Trojan war looks very classic, classical Greek, not Mycenaean. And I wanted to sort of upset people and challenge their preconceptions.
When you research Age of Bronze, is it library work, or do you consult archaeologists?
Have you been to Troy?
You answer all the letters from your readers, in the back of every issue, and they're asking you questions about Bronze Age trade routes, and what was going on in the Black Sea at the time, and you answer everybody....
Do you attend archaeological conferences as well, to sort of keep up on the latest Bronze Age research?
It's remarkable that you have a full time job doing a comic series on the Bronze Age. You're up to issue 18 now?
Where do you see the story line of Age of Bronze ending? Is it going end with the end of the Iliad, continue through the sack of Troy, or is it going to pick up with the Odyssey?
Did you have an interest in ancient cultures when you were growing up?
Did you have much knowledge of archaeology at all before you started Age of Bronze?
Age of Bronze has such a huge cast--Ajax, Agamemnon, Hector, and Achilles, and Helen--who's your favorite character?
Did you have any archaeologists complaining?
How would you characterize your readership? Is it an average comic book reading audience?
You're very direct about the adult content in Age of Bronze.
A wave of sword-and-sandal epics will be hitting movie theaters--Troy, Alexander the Great with Colin Farrell, then another Alexander with Leonardo DiCaprio--and on your website I saw a t-shirt you were selling with Achilles and Patroclus. Will modern audiences allow their ancient heroes to be bisexual or gay? You're already dealing with that issue.
Would the narrative of the Trojan War suffer if you didn't show the complex relationship between Achilles and Patroclus?
What other comics have you worked on in your career?
If and when you do get to Troy, what's the first thing you'll do when?

School bans hugging
By asoglin
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 5:48 pm in Just Bizarre.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, but not, it seems in Illinois, where a middle school principal has banned embraces. Yup, Oak Park, IL is now a no-hugging zone. According to an Associated Press story this afternoon, the principal claimed students were hugging so much, they were tardy to class. Save it, she said, for airport farewells and family reunions. OK, that's just sad. Seems to us a little affection is far preferable to the fistfights and weapons action we hear so much about. Your thoughts?

Disney's Spirit of Aloha
The Polynesian Resort unveils its new Luau Cove show
Tuesday, March 4, 2003
When the Polynesian Resort first opened in Walt Disney World, it was a given that it would have some form of Luau dinner show and it did. That show, with only small changes over the years, ran until just recently. On February 19, 2003, in what would have been called the beginning of previews, the Polynesian's Luau Cove premiered Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, to replace the one that had run since the beginning. I was lucky enough to have been present at that performance.
The Luau Cove still looks as it always has; and open air stage with a covered seating and dining area. As before, seating is assigned at the time you make your reservation. When you are seated, your appetizers are waiting for you on your table: pineapple-coconut bread, tropical mixed greens with mango-poppyseed dressing, and a quarter of a fresh cut pineapple. You have an all-you-can-drink choice of Budweiser or Bud Light draft beer, Copper Ridge Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon, soda, coffee, tea (hot or iced), and milk. There is also a selection of specialty cocktails and beer at additional charges. Included on this list are concoction for children.
The main meal, also all-you-can-eat, consists of Island Barbecued Ribs, Lanai Roasted Chicken, Polynesian Rice, and fresh seasonal vegetables. Dessert is listed as Kilauea Volcano Delight, and looks quite a bit like a chocolate cake and a vanilla/coconut cake. I will admit to enjoying all aspects of this meal. If you are coming with young ones (ages 3 to 11), they have the choice of vacaroni and cheese, hot dogs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or chicken nuggets.
The show itself has been updated and has a somewhat loose storyline that follows through the show. A young Hawaiian lady, who has been living and working in San Francisco, returns home for a visit. Her Polynesian dance teacher, Auntie Winnie, throws her a welcome home party.
She returns in a black suit, looking every bit the mainland businesswoman. All of her friends are determined to remind her of her Hawaiian roots, and ohana family. While she claims not to remember the dances, Auntie Winnie is sure it will all come back to her as she participates.
For you traditional luau fans, not to worry the dances from the Polynesian Islands are still here...
In the end, she remembers who she is, and how important her island roots and ohana are to her.
Having seen the original luau show as well as the character version many times, I was very happy to see a new show with enough of the traditional luau show to satisfy almost everyone. If you or any of your children are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or such, there is even part of the show to recognize these events.
The preview period lasts for a week or so until the official opening in March, so there may be some changes and other tweaks in both the show and the menu. But even as it stands now, my wife, daughter and I all had a good time and enjoyed the updated show.

"Bitiw" and "Tuliro" are the first two singles from the album.
In an interview, Yael Yuzon explained, "I think on the first record we just wanted to have an album out as a collection of songs written from high school; while on Transit, we wanted to push the limits of our song-writing so we took a creatively different approach for every song."

Prowl Review
Transformers - Animated (Hasbro) - Deluxe
I hadn't planned on getting Prowl because of the soon to be released Samurai Armor Prowl, but found out that they would alter the sculpt, so I figured I should get both. I was very impressed with the over all design of Prowl. His robot mode is tall and sleek and capable of being put in a number of great poses. The ball-jointed hips are a little loose, but that can be fixed by using some superglue on the balls and letting it cure.
Prowl has three weapons over all, two mecha shurikens which are made from his hub caps and a traffic light on a cloth cord, all of which can be held in the robo-ninja's hands. The shurikens are a little difficult to remove from the wheels, but with a little work, they should loosen up. The traffic light can not be stored anywhere, so keep an eye on it so you don't loose it. The knees don't have full ninty-degree movement but this can be fixed by trimming the bottom of the hip pads at a downward angle. The police lights on the underside of his robot mode forearms can be swung forward to make laser guns or something, it's not really that clear about it.
Prowl's conversion from motorcycle to robot is smooth and simple, but still enough tricks to keep you from getting bored with it. The head sculpt is a little lacking and odd looking, like a plastic cyclender with a little bit of sculpting at the top. Still, the body over all is good and the paint application is not that bad and doesn't need that much more done with it.
Overall, Prowl gets four and a half stars out of five. A great figure and I'm looking forward to the release of the retooled Samurai armor Prowl.

Youth in the East African Community (EAC) regional have reaffirmed their commitment to contribute to raising awareness on the Climate change as a main challenge to African economies.
This commitment was by a youth gathering held in Kigali, this June 11, which brought together various youth groups and cooperatives to discuss their contribution to a green environment.
The gathering was part of preparation to have voices of the EAC youth heard in the comingRio+20,the UNConferenceon Sustainable Development that will take place in Janeiro, Brazil this July, 2012.
Their meeting is part of the EAC regional campaign organized by the Kenya Youth Climate Network (KYCN), sponsored by the United Nations Millennium Campaign.
David Wainaina, the KYCN representative said that the youth have a fundamental task of contributing to the climate change campaign in their respective communities by coming up with better community based solutions for a greener region to enable the economies progressively adopt the changes.
This campaign started in Burundi and will cover the five East Africa Community partner states. It aims at building capacity for the youth to play a lead role in ensuring a green economy for sustainable development.
The outcomes from all the meetings will be used as recommendations to be forwarded by government representatives, from across the world, who will attend the Janeiro meet.
"The findings will act as a check on politicalcommitment for sustainable development through assessing progress attained from the previous summits on sustainable development as well as addressing challenges identified" Wainaina said.
The Executive Secretary of the Rwanda National Youth Council (NYC),Alphonse Nkuranga, explained that the youth have engaged in the green campaign such as keeping their cities clean and green, and have also been employed to plant bamboo trees on river banks to safeguard water bodies from human activities and other activities supported by the government.

Fungal nail infections can be caused by
three different types of
fungus, alone or in combination.
Fungal infections are
classified by where they begin and what they affect.
Most fungal nail infections affect the skin under the nail (nail bed) and the
nail itself (nail plate).
Toenails are more likely to become
infected when
ingrown or injured, as from frequent nail trimming.
For more information, see the topic
Ingrown Toenail.
A condition called
onycholysis, the separation of the nail from the skin beneath, can increase the
risk of fungal nail infections.
You can get a fungal nail
infection when you come in contact with the fungus and it begins to grow on or
under your nail. Fungi grow best in warm, moist areas, such as the area around
the toes. But you can have fungi on your skin without getting a nail
infection. You have to be likely to get the infection (susceptible)
for it to develop. If you are susceptible to fungal infections, they tend to
return, even after successful treatment and especially if you do not take
preventive steps.
It is not clear why some people are more
susceptible to fungal infections than other people.

Oh look, another forum.
Is there something specific in there you wanted to be shown, or just the entire thing?
I explained the fallacy that even with the laws/banning wanted by the liberal factions on this forum, the firearm would still be available. I even posted pictures of a few that impressed me for a few of you to insult as being weak and poorly made.
I was trying to say that I don't remember you mentioning it, though I'm sure you did, but I especially don't remember the reaction you got, and I was hoping you could be more specific than "they hurt me feelings."
Of course that was coming from people with very little knowledge of firearms or operation of said firearms.
Because if they were contesting a point you were making about guns they automatically don't know shit about them. Obviously.

Justin Bieber Still "Wildly in Love" with Selena Gomez: Report
Justin Bieber apparently still has strong feelings for Selena Gomez — but she might not care.
Selena thinks Justin might be using her to rebuild his image, according to Hollywood Life.
"She wants to move on and he's just wildly in love with her, but he needs to relax," says a source. "She's worried that he wants to use her to look like he's more stable than he really is because he's losing fans."
"He told her he looks like he is a better guy with her," the source points out. "But she is tired of saving him when he's gone off the rails."
Selena's uncertainty about Justin's motives is why she has insisted that he remove any footage of her from his upcoming documentary film about his tour.
"Of course she doesn't want to be in his movie," the source confirms.
We had previously heard that Justin feels "tortured" by Selena's apparent mixed signals, but now we can see why she might not so ready to give it another go.
Will their "love song" get a chance to repeat? We shall see.

How does a famous-rapper-slash-business-tycoon and a tech titan launch a collaborative project? Apparently, by throwing a fancy soirée graced by the presence of a robotic Picasso. In honor of Intel's and SMS Audio's (a company founded by 50 Cent) new heart rate-monitoring headphones, a team of interactive artists led by Aramique created a robot that can draw its viewers' heartbeats. You simply place your hand on a sensor for 30 seconds, and the aptly named Heart Bot's arms will start moving, sketching your heartbeat with pens. It does so by feeding your heart's rhythm to a software that translates it to movements for Heart Bot's pen-equipped mechanical arms.
Heart Bot was on display for one day during the party (no word on whether Bacardi was served) at The New Museum in New York, before it toured Intel's facilities in San Francisco. According to Motherboard, you might catch a glimpse of it at CES 2015, but make sure to watch how it works below, just in case that doesn't push through.

Auckland University has released a book to explain the NCEA education system nearly a decade since we first began using it.
Although the NCEA is nearly ten years through since its inception, confusion still reigns and people are still struggling to understand the system.
Liz McKinley an associate professor of Auckland University says the book is aimed at parents because they find it the hardest to understand the different grading systems within NCEA.
"It's really important that parents come to grips with NCEA, because it's really important for parents to talk to their children about their subject courses," she told ONE News.
She said that right from the outset, parents have not been well equipped to understand the complicated system.
"We've done a lot of research that suggests parents, students and even teachers could actually understand NCEA a little better.
"I think it is a bit of a problem that we haven't given enough information to parents."
McKinley said the reason many parents do struggle is because the NCEA system is different to anything they have experienced in their own education.
"It's a lot different to what parents experience themselves, in particular the array of choices&while it is flexible, it is very complex," she said.
Angela Bruce, mother of a Year 11 student, admits she has struggled with the whole NCEA concept.
"It's just so hard to understand, with all the credits and different marks, I really struggle to figure it all out," she told ONE News.
Bruce is not the first to plead confusion and it is not surprising why. Between achievement standards, unit standards, levels within each standard, the system has certainly had its opposers.
Patrick Walsh of the Secondary Principals Association admits NCEA is complicated and blames the qualifications authority.
"From the school sector I think that we're doing as much as we can. One thing that we probably would like to see is NZQA taking a lead role in explaining this to employers and parents. And perhaps putting more money into a marketing budget.
However NZQA are quick to back their system and said there is enough NCEA education out there.
"We produce a huge amount of hard copy material&we have DVDs, we have our website. So there's a lot going on," said Bali Haque of NZQA.
Parents ONE News have spoken to admit the NCEA system provides more choices for their children, but as Bruce points out it would be great to get some education on New Zealand's nearly decade old system.

SHAREHOLDER clout is being harnessed to pressure companies into respecting the human rights of internet users who live under repressive regimes.
The effort follows allegations that a number of companies are not doing enough to prevent their technology being used to abuse human rights. In response, 25 ethical investment firms from the US, Canada, Europe and Australia signed a statement on 7 November affirming their commitment to freedom of expression on the internet. "As investors and research analysts, we recognise that our investment decisions have an impact on human rights around the world," says the statement.
Together these 25 firms control investments worth $21 billion. In the statement, the firms vow to "monitor the operations of internet businesses in repressive regimes to evaluate their impact on access to news and information".
The signatures were collected by the organisation Reporters San Frontières based in Paris. Over the past year RSF has ...

Windows XP Real-Time Communication Client Support for Network Address Translation
Article ID: 316397 - View products that this article applies to.
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
Real-Time Communication (RTC) client communications may not work if the client is located behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. The hotfix that is described in this article enables NAT-aware programs to configure the RTC API to use the correct address and port when it sets up the audio or video streams. After you install this hotfix, clients that are located behind the NAT device can use audio and video communications with other clients or gateways that are located outside the NAT device. Note that this hotfix does not help clients that are located behind a NAT device to connect to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server. This hotfix does not enable Microsoft Windows Messenger clients that are located behind a NAT device to use audio and video with each other. However, the hotfix does enable Windows Messenger clients that are located behind a NAT device to communicate with phone gateways.
The RTC client was not originally supported behind a NAT device.

Evoking The Arabian Nights in his title and again in his first sentence ("Every country has its Samarkand and its Numancia"), Peter Handke's narrator links this story to legendary tales told by characters who must keep telling stories to escape danger. There is no plague here, as in Boccaccio's Decameron, but the houseboat moored on the Morava River is compared to Numancia, the last place of refuge for Spanish Celts from the Roman Empire; and on this night "between the wars", the narrator joins others on a houseboat for a night of storytelling by the boot's owner, an ex-author back from a lengthy journey through Europe.

In Aztec mythology and among present-day Nahuas, Tonantzin /tonanˈtsiːn/ is believed to refer to Mother Earth.
Goddesses such as "Mother Earth", the "Goddess of Sustenance", "Honored Grandmother", "Snake", "Bringer of Maize" and "Mother of Corn" can all be called Tonantzin. Other indigenous names include Chicomexochitl[pronunciation?] ("Seven Flowers") and Chalchiuhcihuatl[pronunciation?] ("Woman of Precious Stone"). A Tonantzin was honored during the movable feast of Xochilhuitl [/soˈʒiːwɪtəl/]. Some claim that upon appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the hill of Tepeyac where Tonantzin's temple had been burnt by the Spanish priests, the natives accepted Our Lady of Guadalupe as Tonantzin.
Alleged syncretism[edit]
Mexico City's 17th-century Basilica of Guadalupe—built in honor of the Virgin and perhaps Mexico's most important religious building—was constructed at the base of the hill of Tepeyac, believed to be a site used for pre-Columbian worship of Tonantzin. The word Guadalupe may derive from Coatlaxopeuh, meaning "the one who crushes the serpent", and thus perhaps relates etymologically to Quetzalcoatl, the word for the feathered serpent itself.
Modern usage[edit]
Tonantzin is sometimes used as a female given name; actress Tonantzin Carmelo is an example. Tona, Tonzi, Toni, and Nantzin are possible nicknames.
In the comic series Love and Rockets by Gilbert Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez, Tonantzin is a central character in Gilbert's world of Palomar. The character is often connected to the Aztec Goddess.

Transatlantic Politics and the Transformation of the International Monetary System
By Michelle Frasher
Routledge – 2013 – 248 pages
Series: Routledge Advances in International Political Economy
Routledge – 2013 – 248 pages
Series: Routledge Advances in International Political Economy
With original archival documents and interviews from the US and Europe, Michelle Frasher brings the reader into the negotiating room with American, German, and French officials as they confronted the collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system and made decisions that affected the course of European integration and the contemporary neoliberal order.
She identifies crisis as the catalyst for change in international monetary policies, but argues that the causes of crisis originated from a multitude of factors such as market speculation, American hegemony, institutional flaws, and ideational conflicts among the leaders themselves. Far from a planned and consensual process, this book shows that the transformation to neoliberalism was riddled with discord and fret with trial and error. She argues that the resulting currency regime allowed governments to entrench themselves in national interests and facilitated the "marketization" of the state, where states have became both clients and participants in the financialized global economy—to the detriment of international stability.
Frasher's is the first work to connect the 1960s and 1970s to the difficulties of inter-state and inter-market cooperation that have plagued the system in the last decades, and it puts the 2008 debacle into historical perspective.
"Frasher's book is an informative and fascinating analysis of how transatlantic policy-makers confronted structural changes in the system due to globalization, national and regional interests, and the decline of US hegemony during the transition from fixed to floating rates. Unlike a lot of other analyses on international relations, it does not take a one-side approach to the state (that the state was either retreating or advancing). Frasher shows how both actually occurred in this fascinating historical case study. While much has been written about Bretton Woods and its aftermath, few analyses have as many nuances to offer. Indeed, while Bretton Woods and is aftermath are old subjects, many new things can be said about them. Frasher has masterfully accomplished such a feat in this book."
—Giulio M Gallarotti, Wesleyan University
"The transition to today's international monetary system is often presented as a relatively straightforward structural adjustment process in a neoliberalizing world. Michelle Frasher's meticulous analysis, in contrast, exposes the underlying and ongoing conflicts of interest and ideas involved in that transformation. These included painful and often improvised negotiations between states with competing aims, quarrels among domestic political, economic and bureaucratic interests, and rising pressures from globalizing market forces, usually resolved in ad hoc fashion. These conjunctural factors laid the groundwork for the continual renegotiations and endemic crises of the past half century. Based on deep archival research and groundbreaking interviews, Frasher recounts the messy and incomplete outcomes that are still shaping the 21st century international political economy."
—Philip G. Cerny, University of Manchester and Rutgers University
"Dr. Frasher's work is essential to understand what has happened over the last forty years or so in the field of international monetary and economic cooperation. Her contribution to this aspect of international relations is most lucid, innovative, non conventional, and full of insights based on deep research."
- Mr. Jacques de Larosière, former Director of the IMF

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: What Happens to Jorah?
With Game of Thrones Season 3 a distant memory, it's now time to turn our attention to what may lie ahead in Season 4. Since GoT is based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF), we can make some good guesses about how the story will play out next season, at least in broad strokes. Here are our predictions about what's coming up for the Dany's biggest fan, Ser Jorah Mormont, based on the latter half of A Storm of Swords.
Warning: This article contains MAJOR spoilers from the A Song of Ice and Fire book series. Click away now if you don't want to know!
Disclaimer: Of course, the show may cut plot elements or even completely alter Jorah's story. These are spoilers based on the books only
Jorah gets jelly. We've already seen the way Jorah acts around Daario Naharis, and he's usually doing his best McKayla Maroney impression, i.e., he's not impressed. Daario and Dany are going to keep growing closer, and Jorah is going to become even more jealous of the sellsword who could pass for an Abercrombie and Fitch model. Jorah, you're on the same team!
Jorah makes his move. In ASOIAF, Jorah kisses Dany and professes his love for her before Daario is even introduced as a character. So far, the show has only hinted at his love for her, but he has never kissed her, so we're thinking that next season would be a prime opportunity for him to try and break out of the friendzone. How will Dany react to the kiss? Let's just say she doesn't share his feelings. Awk-ward.
Jorah gets exiled... again. The whole reason Jorah is in Essos to begin with is because he was exiled from Westeros by Ned Stark for selling slaves. Fast forward to the present, and Jorah's about to get exiled again. In the books, Dany boots Jorah from her camp after Ser Barristan tells her that Jorah used to report on her comings and goings to Robert Baratheon. The show did address this last season, when Jorah asked Ser Barristan if he had been privy to what was discussed at the king's small council meetings (like, maybe, Jorah's work as a spy) and Barristan said he didn't sit on the small council. So, either Ser Barristan isn't showing all of his cards, or the show will come up with another reason for Dany to get so mad at Ser Jorah that she can't stand the sight of him anymore. Maybe it could be the kiss (seems harsh) or maybe something involving Daario, but one thing we're pretty sure of is that Dany and Jorah will no longer be BFFs come the end of Season 4.
Are you excited to see more of Jorah? Sound off in the comments below.

Dancing With The Stars
Sean Lowe on Dancing With the Stars 2013: Great Idea or Reject That Rose?
Last week, Us Weekly said Bachelor Sean Lowe was in talks to be on Dancing With the Stars 2013. Just last night, HollywoodLife added Sean's name to its early cast list. The new cast will be announced this coming Tuesday, February 26, and that's when we'll be 100 percent sure about Sean.
How do you feel about another Bachelor on DWTS? He would be the fourth Bachelor Nation crossover, after Trista Sutter (DWTS Season 1), Jake Pavelka (Season 10) and Melissa Rycroft (Season 8, winner of All-Stars).
Some people may love the idea — Sean is a "genetic gift," as we learned on The Bachelorette Season 8 — and they'll want to see more of him after The Bachelor Season 17 ends. However, other fans may lose respect for Sean, since they just expected him to go back home to start his life with his fiancée. And other DWTS fans just aren't into The Bachelor franchise at all and don't want anymore crossover. They aren't supposed to be "stars," they're just supposed to be normal people who want to find love. So ... why are they asked to dance?
How do you feel about Sean dancing? If you like the idea, why? If not, why not? And don't forget — rumors are still rumors until something "official" is declared!
Great idea!
Reject that rose!

AURORA, Ill. — The board of East Aurora School District 131 unanimously voted Monday to take no action against a district official, who originally recommended the district adopt a groundbreaking transgender student protections policy the board unanimously voted to approve Oct. 14 — and then repealed it five days later in a dust-up of controversy.
The special meeting was held to discuss possibly terminating the official, despite community outrage over such an action, according to the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance, an organization that advocates for the safety and equal treatment of LGBT students.
Last month, the district came under intense fire from conservative citizens and organizations from in and outside of the far west suburban city, including the Illinois Family Institute, less than a day after the board approved the policy. In the midst of the deluge of criticism, Dr. Christie Aird, the district's assistant superintendent of secondary education was indefinitely put on administrative leave after she suggested the policy back in July.
Board president Annette Johnson said at a previous board meeting that Aird did not fully explain the implications and controversial nature of the policy before they took it up for vote.
However, despite the district's efforts to punish Aird, the community has been largely outspoken in its support for both her and the protective policies, which would have allowed transgender and gender-variant students to use the bathrooms that match their identified gender and ask teachers to use their chosen names.
Six people spoke on behalf of Aird for about 15 minutes before the board at the start of the special meeting. The board then entered an over hour-long executive session to make its decision, resulting in the monthly board meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. to start late, according to Shannon Sullivan of the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance.
The Alliance has worked with the district for over a year to put policies in place to protect transgender and gender-variant students after receiving a request for action from a family there. The Alliance was supportive of the board's initial decision to approve the policy and was equally surprised when it decided to rescind it and possibly terminated Aird.
"To say that our shock continues is a real understatement," Sullivan said in a statement to media. "This school board is using one of their own employees as a scapegat [sic] because they caved to hate-motivated outside pressure. We will continue to support local residents to support Dr. Aird and the policies to protect transgender and gender non-conforming students."
As Sullivan understands, Aird's job could still be on the chopping block, pending further consideration from the board and its attorneys.
Last week, the board announced that it is building an ad hoc special committee of community members to draft up a new "inclusive policy" that apparently will offer the same or similar protections for transgender students. A special meeting to announce the committee and discuss the policy will be held Thursday at 6 p.m.

1465 Hertel Ave., Buffalo, NY 14216
Web: Gramma Mora's
Phone: 716.837.6703
Rating: [learn more]
Perhaps the area's oldest Mexican restaurant, possessing a large menu filled with choices that span the range of locally predictable Mexican options; dishes are reasonably if not generously proportioned for their prices, and meals start with free chips and salsa. Friendly, attentive service.
Thanks to mediocre seasonings, marination, and preparation, little of the food tastes authentically Mexican, even by somewhat lower local standards. Overall standard of food is merely passable.
See More Restaurant Reviews For:
Buffalo Mexican
"The dishes we've eaten here bear only a modest resemblance to the authentic Mexican foods we've loved elsewhere - and found at least well-approximated in Western New York."
During our review of local cranberry wines last month, we came across a bottle that was fine, but had almost no actual cranberry flavor; whatever it was, it wasn't really cranberry wine. As long-time fans of Mexican food, we can say with equal certainty that Gramma Mora's on Hertel Avenue - perhaps the best-known Mexican restaurant in the City of Buffalo, dating back nearly 30 years - is today to Mexican cuisine what that drink was to cranberry wines; it's possible to have an entire meal here with items that sound Mexican, look Mexican, and would pass as Mexican in the absence of any point of reference. But even if they're filling, which they are, they don't really taste Mexican: newer restaurants we've reviewed in Cheektowaga and Amherst do a better job on authentic flavors, as well as pricing.
After securing a parking spot on Hertel, which always seems to be at least a little challenging, we arrived at Gramma Mora's ready to eat. Without delay, a complimentary dish of tortilla chips and salsa was quickly placed on our table, and we were pleased by our friendly and attentive server, ordering a glass of Sangria ($4) to kick off the evening. As we looked over the extensive but locally predictable menu - tacos, burritos, nachos, enchiladas and salads, without high-end Mexican seafood or ceviche options - we noted that the chips were on the fine edge of stale, while the salsa was fine but thin, lacking in anything fresh or chunky such as tomatoes. The Sangria was a plain, semi-dry red with a couple of orange slices tossed in, adding little to the flavor. This wasn't a great start to the meal, but we wrote them off; surely something would stand out here as good.
Unfortunately, things didn't get much better from there. For appetizers, we picked tacos, first a Hard Shell Taco with Chorizo ($3), which was overflowing with fresh, thin-sliced lettuce, and reasonably filled in the center with what was supposed to be spicy pork sausage; some cubed tomatoes were mixed in, as well. As much as we've had and enjoyed chorizo in the past, considering it a guilty pleasure, the taco's mushy, bland meat would have been unidentifiable as such; it could as well have been low-grade ground beef. Low on flavor, we've made better hard shell tacos at home, and we possess no great talent for Mexican cooking; we've recently had equally mediocre, cheaper tacos at Taco Bell and Mighty Taco.
Though we were concerned about the price, we felt obliged to order the Soft Shell Taco with Fajita Steak ($7) to sample Gramma Mora's Mexican steak preparation - other restaurants such as La Tolteca, Salsarita's, and Moe's often place carne asada or comparably delicious beef in their steak tacos, and sell them for much less. On a positive note, the version here was oversized, perhaps two or three times as large as the hard shell above, and though the steak wasn't generous, it wasn't offensively sparse, either. The problem again was in the flavor: the small pieces of cube-cut meat were cooked chewy, and barely marinated or spiced in a way to distinguish them from plain beef. On paper, this taco might have been Mexican, but as with the hard shell, it didn't taste much different from what an amateur chef might attempt in a home kitchen.
Our entrees were comparatively beautiful, if nothing else. One of us took the server's "what's good" recommendation and went with the Chimichanga ($14), a deep-fried, homemade burrito served under dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Though it was surrounded by colorful, cosmetically appealing side items - we chose Mexican rice and beans - the version here looked as if it had come out of a freezer package, the beef once again chewy and utterly bland in flavor, possessing little to no characteristic Mexican seasoning, and accompanied inside the flour shell by similarly lifeless green peppers and onions; unlike common chimichangas, there was no rice inside, and if there was any cheese, it was undetectable. The side beans tasted canned, and the rice was dry and lacking in flavor; it all left us without a desire to finish the plate.
The other entree, called Gramma Mora's Special ($12), was ordered to give the restaurant an opportunity to impress with a signature dish. Described on the menu as lean pork or chicken simmered in a green chile sauce - a "favorite for the lover of hot spicy food" - we were warned by the server that the dish would be especially spicy on this night, suggesting that the pre-made sauce was suffering from an overabundance of chili content. Bring it on, we said; we are, in fact, "lovers of hot spicy food." But there were two surprises: the green "chili verde" sauce wasn't there, replaced instead with a heavily overspiced red tomato and chili alternative. And the pork we'd ordered became unavailable at the last minute, replaced - with our permission - by chicken. While certainly spicy, not a problem for our palates, the sauce and meat had no depth of flavor; it was akin to home-sauteeing chunks of chicken in ground tomatoes and chilis without a proper marinade. To say that the highlight of the entree was the included side of Sopa de Fideo - thin vermicelli noodles cooked in what tasted like the spice packet from a box of Rice-a-Roni - would be wholly accurate, if not exactly complimentary.
More for sake of completeness than anything else, we decided to try one of the desserts in hopes that it might end the meal on a high note. Given a handful of roughly $5 choices such as a brownie sundae, Tollhouse cookie pie, flan, and a couple of apple tortilla options, we went with the Mexican Fried Ice Cream ($5), a dish that we've had many different ways, and seldom left unfinished. Described as "coated ice cream on a fried shell," Gramma Mora's version featured a tiny scoop of ice cream that had been covered in granola and honey, then surrounded on a plate by whipped cream and chocolate-drizzed, fried chips; the menu's promised cherry was nowhere to be found. Like everything else we ordered, the fried ice cream looked nice, but wasn't really fried or satisfying. Breaking with tradition, we stopped before finishing the plate of unsweetened chips.
Though the stories of Gramma Mora's past glories were familiar and appealing to us when we entered the restaurant, the dishes we've eaten here bear only a modest resemblance to the authentic Mexican foods we've loved elsewhere - and found at least well-approximated in Western New York. Once known as a local standard-bearer for true Mexican cuisine, it now calls to mind this area's less impressive history of offering Latin dishes that wouldn't pass muster in their mother countries. Thankfully, there are much better options around here - for other cuisines on Hertel, and Mexican in the suburbs - and should you not be concerned about the authenticity of your meal, this place may do in a pinch. If so, we can recommend a nice bottle of something close enough to cranberry wine that you might want to check out, too.

On my Mordy.com blog, I made note of my quest to create an iPhone skin entirely in Illustrator. In the process, one of the elements I had to create – the alert dialog – presented an interesting "problem" in that the dialog had an opaque stroke and a transparent fill. OK, so we know that in Illustrator, you can easily apply an opacity setting to fills and strokes independently, but the dialog also has a drop shadow. And if the fill of the object is transparent, you can see the drop shadow through the fill, which isn't called for in the design.
Before we learn how to make this work in Illustrator, let's take a look at two other Adobe applications – Photoshop and InDesign. Why? Because interestingly enough, they both have something that Illustrator doesn't have.
Photoshop has two opacity settings: Layer Opacity, which applies to the entire layer, including its layer effects; and Fill Opacity, which applies only to the pixels that are drawn in the layer, and not its layer effects.
In our example, if we wanted to create an object that had a transparent fill and a drop shadow, we'd first apply a drop shadow layer effect. But we wouldn't want to reduce the Layer Opacity, because that would lower the opacity of the drop shadow along with the art itself. Instead, we'd adjust the Fill Opacity, which will allow the just the art to be transparent, leaving the drop shadow at full strength.
But notice that the drop shadow isn't visible through the art of the object itself. It's as if the artwork "knocks out" the drop shadow beneath it. How did that happen? The answer lies within the Drop Shadow section of the Layer Styles dialog box. There you'll find a checkbox marked "Layer Knocks Out Drop Shadow", which is turned on by default.
If you head over to InDesign, you'll find a similar option in the Drop Shadow section of the Effects dialog box as well. There, a setting called "Object Knocks Out Shadow", also on by default, helps designers keep drop shadows from being seen through objects with transparency settings such as opacity or blend modes.
Now let's come full circle back to Illustrator, where the Drop Shadow dialog box (found in the Effects > Stylize menu) has no setting to instruct Illustrator to knock out the effect, and we'll create the iPhone dialog step by step.*
1. Use the Rectangle tool to draw a shape. If you'd like, choose Effect > Stylize > Round Corners to round the corners of the rectangle.
2. Fill the rectangle with a dark blue color and choose a light blue color for the stroke.
3. Choose Window > Appearance to open the Appearance panel (and shame on you if the panel wasn't already open). Target the dark blue fill and change its opacity to 80%.
4. Click on the word "Path" at the top of the Appearance panel to target the entire object.
5. Choose Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow, and apply your desired drop shadow settings. At this point, you'll be able to see the drop shadow through the fill of the object. But we'll fix that next.
6. With the object still selected, open the Transparency panel and expand it so that all of its options are visible. Check the box marked Knockout Group (you may need to click twice to get a check mark in the box).
If you want to know WHY the Knockout Group setting effectively clipped the drop shadow, you can read my explanation in this post, where I used a similar technique to simulate stitched lines for apparel designers.
I should point out that when I asked Adobe why Illustrator didn't have a check box in the Drop Shadow dialog box that would clip an object's shadow, I got an interesting response: "the real world doesn't really work that way". I can't argue with that logic. If you think about it, if an object were semi transparent, it would likely still be dense enough to cast a shadow beneath it. I'll have to pose the question to the folks over at Apple who designed the interface I guess.
One final note: the Object Knocks Out Shadow found in InDesign will only work when your entire object has an opacity setting applied to it. However, if you try to simulate this exact effect in InDesign, where you apply an opacity value just to the fill of an object, you'll have to use the same technique as we used in Illustrator – you'll have to turn on the Knockout Group option for that object.
*OK, so in the final version of the iPhone alert dialog, I had to do a little adjusting. Turns out that the opaque stroke that appears around the perimeter of the dialog is actually filled with a gradient. Alas, gradients can't be applied to a stroke in Illustrator. I had to create a separate compound path in order to apply the gradient.

Great tutorial Mordy. I've dealt with this concept in the past when writing programs. Mac OS X's menus, for example, follow this same look. Thanks for sharing a simple way to mimic this behavior in Illy.

what version of illustrator did you use for this tutorial?
- Mordy Golding said...
CS4, but it should work in AI9 and later.

Is there a way to make the rectangle completely invisible while still having the drop shadow? (like 0% fill layer in photoshop)

A civil society group, Citizens United for Progress (CUP) has launched a stinking attacked against Montserrado County Electoral District #8 Rep. Acarous Gray, terming his actions as disappointment and bewilderment to democracy and reasons he was elected for.
A group of Montserrado County District #8 residents, under the banner district's Citizens United for Progress, called for the immediate and unconditional resignation of Representative Gray, on grounds that he has failed the district miserably.
In a release issued on Wednesday, the group described Representative Gray as an "unworthy statesman" who has embraced "all the ugly national vices he once preached against."
The Concern Citizens' released was signed by its Executive Director Samuel Seakor, accusing Rep. Gray of refusing to impact the lives of his constituents, despite receiving US$15,345.00 monthly for the purpose.
It added that since the exposure of the total compensation package of Rep. Gray and his colleagues, his temper and resentments have gone wide with lawmaker looking for someone to blame rather than the Ministry of Finance.
"He has done everything to attack Finance Minister Amara Konneh and his colleagues, including organizing young and innocent men to engage in acts of insults and hooliganism in front of the Ministry of Finance", the release said.
"The citizens of District #8 have come to the realization that Representative Gray is shameless, dishonest, and self-centered, to the detriment of the people who elected him to power in 2011," the group said without saying to which projects the representative failed to apply the amount.
It also did not say who was providing the money to Representative Gray or whether he was slated to account for it at any point during the fiscal year.
Despite the omissions, the group pressed ahead in its charge against the legislator, who while playing the role of political activist for the opposition Congress for Democratic Change prior to his election in 2011, had heaved similar summary allegations of corruption against the Sirleaf Administration, and demanded its resignation based on those allegations.
"He has not submitted any report to the district. He is disappointing and insincere to us. Though he is receiving US$ 2,500.00 monthly for capacity building, Representative Gray is yet to initiate such program for us.
He is getting US $750.00 monthly for housing, but [he] still resides in one room on Capitol-Bye-Pass. He takes US $7,000.00 for foreign travel monthly; but [he] stays here all through. [He is getting] US $5,000.00 monthly for domestic allowance, yet he has no humanitarian program," the group charged further.
Meanwhile, Rep. Gray has termed the group as paid agents of Finance Minister Konneh to attack his hard earned character.

The two companies are also looking for partners interested in taking the solution to market.
Companies that are CISSP certified and operating in the IT security services, planning, validation, consulting and PCI compliance spaces are encouraged to contact Motorola for information. Motorola completed its acquisition of AirDefense in September 2008. Its flagship product, AirDefense Enterprise is the Wireless Intrusion Detection/Protection (IDS/IPS) solution used by the US Federal Government and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
Paul Blinkhorn, Australia country manager, and vice president, Enterprise Mobility, Motorola A/NZ said the acquisition was the next logical step in a three-year OEM partnership.
"Wireless networks are a significant part of the workforce productivity equation; however, they are also susceptible to security threats," he said.
"Our partnership with Lan 1 will respond to local customer demand for storing and mining long-term, forensic quality information for security investigations, and assist with the latest wireless security compliance. "
The AirDefense solution recognises all WLAN devices, identifies rogue behaviour and distinguishes neighbouring devices from rogue devices connected to the network.
Christo Simeonoff, manager of IP Security Business, Lan 1, said it was eager to unite with Motorola to enforce secure wireless mobility as local customers migrate to 802.11n, mesh networking and fixed-mobile convergence.
"The AirDefense solution has been successfully delivered to hundreds of leading enterprises internationally, so we're confident about the benefits it will now offer local markets," he said.
"Together with Motorola we'll continue to exceed the global needs of the WIPS market and give customers comprehensive wireless security regardless of their WLAN infrastructure."
