Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN (almost entirely Minneapolis...) in no particular order:
Really expensive
La Belle Vie
Really really fantastic food here. James beard award winner, french food at its best
Manny's Steakhouse
go for the dinner and you will have significantly more than you can eat of some of the best steakhouse food you've ever had.
Moderately expensive
Heidi's Minneapolis
Relatively new restaurant and after my first visit it was immediately one of my favorites. Truly fantastic food at great prices. It's tiny, however, so reservations are an absolute must. The menu rotates about once a season, but I highly recommend the vegetarian "bolognese", and the 1776 lamb, and if they ever bring back the pheasant you have to get it. Hard to put the style in a box, he takes influences from all over the place and just makes delicious food.
Cafe Barbette
great place to go for a bottle of wine and some classic french cuisine. they've got a really nice happy hour. to be frank I rarely go except after 10 for the mussels, frites and a bottle of belgian beer.
Amazing Mediterranean and middle eastern cuisine. Also relatively new, but not to be missed. The happy hour deals are noteworthy as well.
Fantastic spanish cuisine at a great location downtown. I always get the tasting menu, and it's never done me wrong. They've got a lovely bar on the roof for some drinks and apps as well.
Broder's Pasta Bar
For good and hearty italian you pretty much can't beat it. Great pasta, hell pretty much everything is great, including the atmosphere and service.
Amore Victoria
Similar to Broder's in a lot of respects. really big menu, and sometimes they have some really good happy hour specials.
Trendy spot with decent happy hour. Italian food. To be frank, you'd generally be better off at the two aforementioned italian spots unless you're looking for something in particular. Still, i don't want to disparage the food, it's quite tasty.
Tacos Morelos
Not quite cheap, but cheaper than the rest here. Best tex mex in town. Go here for enchiladas.
Pizza Nea
Best pizza in town. no delivery, just fantastic neapolitan pizza. I highly recommend the rucola (red), or if you're not feeling like arugula (it's good enough for obama!) go for the capricciosa. but then again, i'm an absolute prosciutto fiend.
Los Ocampo
Go here for fantastic authentic mexican food. I'm not talking enchiladas, i'm talking real authentic mexican food. Imagine you're out late in Puebla and drunk and you see a guy on the side of the road slinging some gorditas. Now move that guy to minneapolis. I always seem to get the gorditas or tlacoyo. Make sure you get the green avacado sauce. it's super spicy (sometimes, seems to vary), but even more delicious.
Abu Nader (st paul)
Great middle eastern fare. I always get the shawarma special, which includes half a shawarma, some hummus and pita, a piece of baklava and a drink for 8.50. a steal. also, the baba ghanoush is the best around, smoky and delicious.
Anthony Bourdain says minneapolis has the best vietnamese food in the country, and quang has the best pho. enough said.
Pho '79 (minneapolis and st paul)
I always go to the one in st paul for lunch during work. delicious and cheap.
Town Hall Brewery
Go here. I can't stress it enough, go here. The masala mama is one of the best IPAs you'll ever have in your life and they always have an interesting array of seasonals on tap. The food is quite good pub fare as well.
Bulldog (northeast and uptown)
Great burgers, good tap list and atmosphere, what more can you ask for?
C.C. Club
You won't find a better dive bar in town. Unless you go to the country bar. But if you're looking for a place that manages to bridge the gap between hipsters and everyone else and still feel like a great dive bar while serving cheap ass beer (always get the pitcher of the month...), you won't do better.
The Country Bar
You're gonna smell like chicken. The first time i went there, a couple of passing women told me that, and the observation couldn't be more astute. the entire place smells like fried chicken, but it has quite cheap beer and i'm pretty sure karaoke all the time. at least i've never been there without karaoke.
Liquor Lyle's
Some people say it's a dive bar. I guess it is, kinda. But it's not that divey, certainly pales in comparison to the first two bars. But the drinks are cheap and strong. Show up between 9 and 11 every night and get 2 for 1s on everything. did i say they poured their drinks strong?
well, there you go. some of my favorite places. probably forgot some...

Central Cal, CA
Add DOGHOUSE GRILL.
It's in Fresno, and it's the best place to eat there. Savory bbq'd food at affordable prices. There's a Bar. Several HUGE tv's all around the place displaying various televised games. It's less than 6 bucks for a pulled pork sandwich - moniker: the pig sandwich - and it's the most delicious pulled pork sandwich you'll ever eat. When you're hungry and there's a game on, Doghouse is the place to go.
On the streets these days, a dime bag of kittens costs a pretty penny, and a few ugly ones too.

Milwaukee - cant go back home without making the trip to Jimmy's Grotto. You like pizza? You like deep fried stuff? Take a calzone n deep fry it. Gloriousness. Not only will they deliver your ponza rotta, but cigerettes n booze too. Makes for happy stoners through out the land.

This is a partial list of restaurants in downtown/west philly that I've been to - if you want other suggestions, I know quite a few more but these are the big names, I'll try to keep adding to this list as well.
What's on the list right now I would say pretty much all qualify as expensive to very expensive restaurants. I'd say the average bill for two people at most of these places with some drinks would be around $80-$100.
Philadelphia, PA
The Fountain at the Four Seasons - Went here for Valentines day last year (I got lucky, but you probably need at least a month out to normally get a Valentines day reservation here). Amazing to say the least, by far the best restaurant in Philly with prices to match.
Beneluxx - Cheese, Wine, Beer and Chocolate tasting room - perhaps the best idea for a restaurant ever. It got to the point where the waiters knew our order when we came in. The wild boar sausage is amazing but we primarily stick to the cheeses and beers. If you like beer it is worth going to just to be able to sample a ton of different beers at ones.
Tria - Wine, Beer, Cheese tasting. It's very nice and is a "classier" spot that Beneluxx (Beneluxx is in a basement and has glass washers built into the table) but it's more expensive and IMO their selection especially on beer and cheese is not at the same level. It's a better date spot, but if you really want to do a tasting go to Beneluxx.
Positano Coast - Italian coastal food, very good right next to the Ritz movie theater, they also have these "booths" with cushions that are very romantic if a little hard to eat in. The black squid ink pasta is very good - the whole menu is quite top notch, I've never been disappointed with a dish.
Cuba Libre - Really fun Cuban place, great mojitos and capirhinas. Is a great place for a party - the dj normally plays good music. They also have a really fun tasting menu that lets you get a sample of pretty much everything on the menu - it's a great option and it's pretty reasonable especially for how much food you get.
Lacroix - Best brunch in Philadelphia (as it should be at about $60/head). It's really amazing.
Marigold Kitchen - They changed head chef like three times in two years so each time I went back it was completely different, the only thing that remained constant was the awful service. One time the tasting menu (5 course) took nearly four hours. It's a BYOB which is nice, and the food is good and localized/seasonal but it's hard to recommend with the awful service experiences I've had there.
Garces Restaurant Group
Amada - My favorite of his three restaurants. They stopped serving foie gras which took the best item (the foie gras flat bread) off the menu. They serve Spanish style tapas. The sangria is quite good (the red is good even in the winter, the white is a nice peach mint blend, very nice in the summer). The meat and cheese plates are amazing (although if you just want that go to Beneluxx)
Tinto - I haven't actually been here for dinner, but their lunch is great, it can be quite pricey though. They have a delicious tuna sandwich and also an amazing meat plate.
Distrito - The only one that I've been disappointed with. It's not that the food is bad, it's just not anything special and the prices (nearly) match those of the other two places. They do have good drinks and a fun atmosphere so I'll probably be back for happy hour. The carnitas tacos are really the only item that I remember from the menu.
Stephen Starr
Pod - The West Philly Stephen Starr - Great lunch special which features some items from the dinner menu, but gets to you in 15 minutes for about $20 with tax/tip. The sushi here is alright (nothing bad, nothing great - might as well go to Mizu or Nara if you want sushi and are in west philly). It's fun and has a good menu - however, the menu has not changed in the four years I've been here at all so it can get a bit boring if you keep going back.
Buddakan - Pod downtown with a golden Buddah and a ridiculous wait time for a weekend reservation (about a month). Yes, the menu is bigger that Pod's and there are a few interesting things that aren't on Pod's menu, but IMO quite overrated. I know some people will disagree with me, but not worth the hype.
The Continental - Eclectic American- like lobster mac and cheese, the food is quite good although it's kind of a weird looking place. Probably wouldn't take a date here, but it has never disappointed me. Also has another location in Center City (or as they call it Midtown).
Jones - I haven't actually eaten in the restaurant, but I have gotten food through dining in quite a few times. The food is very good, southern comfort style classed up. Big portions which is good because, well it's a Starr restaurant so it's priced accordingly.
Alma De Cuba - Great for both lunch and dinner they have very tasty mojitos. The Cuban sandwich is really good. It's been a little while since I've been back to this one and I get it mixed up with Cuba Libre sometime (both are very good)
El Vez - Mexican fusion - it's very good, but if you are looking for real Mexican go to Lolita's or Tequila's. They do have a amazing margaritas, especially the blood orange, but as a SoCal native it never quite fulfills my Mexican food fix.
Morimoto - Named after the iron chef himself, it's the place to get Sushi in Philadelphia. When he's there it's even better (the menu is the same but it's a better experience). Otherwise, you are still paying for his name without getting to see him. The food is very good, but a bit overpriced (hence why the NY location doesn't have quite the same reputation when compared to Nobu and the likes).
Tangerine - I think this is my favorite Starr restaurant, even though I don't get to it that often. It has a great menu, very diverse - there is always another dish to come back and get.
Barclay Prime - The Starr for steaks (although I guess there is a new place that is actually "just" a steakhouse). Home of the $100 kobe cheesesteak. They have great steaks, that's you thing it's great - if not the menu is fairly limited in other respects so you have to be in the mood.
Other Philadelphia, PA recommendations by Ezekial
(I am new here and still learning the area, but have found/been told about the following)
Old Brauhaus Restaurant - 7980 Oxford Ave - great German food & awesome beer
Rick's Steaks - Reading Terminal Market CC - great steaks
Jim's Steaks - http://www.jimssteaks.com/ - I have only ate at the Buscleton/Cottman location - great steaks
Monk's Cafe - http://www.monkscafe.com/ - in CC - great food, and amazing beer selection
Charlies Pizzeria - best Pizza in Philly that I know of - 4300 Roosevelt Blvd

As I find more hot spots I will try and remember to add on to this list. Also feel free to PM me with questions or comments.. or just to meet up sometime

I'm captain planet. I'm trying to save the world from pollution. I love the cock.
Austin, TX.
Maudies Cafe - http://www.maudies.com/ - GREAT Mexican food IMO the best in the word you have to get their queso, there are 5 locations in Austin all of them are good though I perfer the one on Lake Austin Blvd.
Thunder Cloud Subs - Great sub shop they have the most amazing sandwith called the California Club its basicaly a club with guacamole.
Freebirds Burritos - a chain burrito place in and around central texas has a very wide veriety of burritos you can choose from.
[J]eep Club: Shmoblar, Striker169, Trekman8, Crazymike, Whitefrog, PiMpY, Woe, Darwin, OxyCoScion, Gearhead
Philadelphia, PA - Amend to the list above.
If you're looking for cheesesteaks (since that's likely the most famous Philly food), you'll get a million different opinions on the best. Really it depends on what you like.
Campo's Deli - 214 Market St. - One of my favorites. The meat is tender, bun is pretty good, and the cole slaw is awesome. They aren't the best value or biggest sandwich, but it's a good steak.
Geno's & Pat's - 9th & Passyunk - The two iconic south Philly traditions. Pat's dices the meat, Geno's takes the long, thin slices. It's really a matter of preference, although I consider both pretty much equal. They're more tourist traps than anything, not the best sandwiches.
John's Roast Pork - Snyder & Weccacoe - Amazing sandwiches, known mostly for the roast pork, but they also make killer cheesesteaks. Was voted Best Steaks in Philly by the Inquirer. They close before dinner time, so it's only breakfast or lunch here.
Steve's Prince of Steaks - 7200 Bustleton Ave. - Out of the way place in the Northeast just shy of Cottman. They were #2 on the best of Philly list. I haven't eaten there, but they get tremendous reviews.
Tony Luke's - 39 E Oregon Ave. - Decent steak place, kind of out of the way in south Philly. Close to the sports complex. The sandwiches are better than most, especially with Broccoli Rabe (get the Roast Pork Italian).
There's more than just cheesesteaks to keep in mind:
Vietnam - 221 N 11th St. - Probably the best food you'll find in Chinatown. Good luck getting a table; you'll have to wait a couple hours at peak times.
Pietro's Coal Oven - 1714 Walnut St. - If you like Brick Oven pizza, this is your place. The pies are large and the prices aren't bad. Decent food overall including options other than pizza.
Capogiro - 119 S 13th & 117 S 20th (two locations) - Best gelato you'll find in the city. If you've never had gelato, it's like a mix between custard and regular ice cream. It is somewhat expensive, so be sure to sample before you commit to a flavor (or two or three). Very good dessert and plenty of flavors to choose from.
Mccormick & Schmick's - Penn Square & South Broad St. - More upscale, expensive seafood restaurant right by city hall. The atmosphere is nice and the food is definitely good, including a large variety of fresh fish (and likely some you've never heard of).
Italian Market - 9th St. between Fitzwater & Wharton - A large outdoor market in South Philly, most full of grab 'n' go type meals. Visit DiBruno cheeses if you're into that sort of thing. Plenty of eateries and Italian restaurants to keep you full of carbs.
Melting Pot - 1219 Filbert St. - Fondue is the name of the game here. It is somewhat expensive, but really meant to serve groups of people. Good if you have a family and kids, or looking for some romance.
Hard Rock Cafe - 12th & Market - Nothing superbly special about this place; standard food surrounded by memorabilia. If you get the nachos, don't plan on eating anything else. Right by Market Station so convenient for the train-goers.
I'm blanking on where else I've eaten. I'll add as I remember places.
If you're looking for nightlife, you're best bets are bars around Rittenhouse and then Old City. Some of the places are more upscale and carry a higher price tag, but one of my favorites is Fado on Locust & 13th. It's an Irish pub so you know you're in good hands. If you go down the piers on Columbus, it's mostly Jersey rats.
Happiness is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it but only you feel its warmth.

Ratings for Dr. Mazin I. Abdullah
My husband and I were referred to Dr. Mazin Abdullah by our primary care physician. I was 35 at the time and my husband was 38. I was born without a uterus and my husband was diagnosed with low testosterone and sperm count so we knew that we needed to see a fertility doctor in order to fulfill our parenting dream. Dr. Mazin Abdullah took his time to go over both of our conditions and what our steps were in order to achieve our goal. We knew that we needed to go through IVF and surrogacy in order to have children. I always felt that Dr. Mazin's recommendations were based on what is best for the patient rather than as business decisions. My husband started his treatment at the same time I started to get ready for my egg retrieval procedure. We were so excited that we made 10 viable embryos. Dr. Mazin Abdullah is supported by his wonderful nurse, Isabel Gonzalez. She is so personable and also very professional. We visited 2 of their offices, one in Corona and the other in Costa Mesa. I never had to wait for more than 5 or 10 minutes for our appointments and yet, we never felt rushed during our appointments. If needed, Dr. Mazin would talk to us for any length of time to go over out current situation so we understood exactly what was going on. I communicated with the office staff and Dr. Mazin Abdullah by phone and by email and always received prompt responses. Our whole experience was very positive. We are so excited to announce that our surrogate is 11 weeks pregnant with twins! We are so appreciative of Dr. Mazin Abdullah of his professional knowledge and experience and just being a great doctor that keeps the well being of his patient first.
Dr Mazen is an amazing surgeon. After a miscarriage, another OB/GYN mutilated my uterus causing Ashermans syndrome. 4 doctors said I would never have children again. I went to Dr Mazen and he said it was one of the worst cases he has seen, but he would try to restore my uterus. Now, thanks to him I have a perfect little girl!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Me and my husband came from Ireland to dr Mazin and it was worth every penny spent. He is THE nicest, politest, knowledgable doctor I have ever met. He explained everything to us prior to our trip and was always available for further questions. He obviously does this job because he truley believes in what he does and at no time did I feel like I was a financial transaction. BEST DOCTOR EVER TRAINED, would love to bring him home to help friends:). But will be recommending him to them. Thank you dr. Mazin
Very good experience... I would recommend this fertility clinic to anyone who is truly still hopeful...
Excellent doctor and staff. well-qualified, professional, and utilizes the latest technology. He is one of best in this field. I highly recommend!
Dr Mazin is extremely warm, caring, & knowledgeable. He is very thorough & does an incredible job of educating his patients every step of the way. In my opinion, Dr Mazin has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever experienced. He has a very friendly & professional staff. I would definitely recommend him!
I had been to two other infertility doctors before coming to see Dr. Mazin Abdullah. After speaking with him, I knew that he would take the best care of me! He is gentile and sincere in his dealings with his patients. Everyone in the office is amazing as well!
Meeting Dr Mazin was pure destiny. We've been looking for somebody who can understand our problem and needs and fortunately we found Dr. Mazin. He is an amazing doctor, compassionate, knowledgeable, caring and moreover patient. We trusted him from the day we met and now we are happily "pregnant". On August 26, 2011 we found out that we are having twins!! :). Thank you Dr Mazin for everything you have done. MT
He came highly recommended to us, so my husband I drove out of state to see him, and we were not let down. He is every bit the attentive, gentle and knowledgeable doctor you want for your infertlity challenges. He explains all the risks and all the potential successes of each procedure without regard to his own self interest. He is very honest and all follow up visits have been efficient and thorough as though you never left the first visit. An amazing man.
Dr. Mazin is a wonderful doctor. We recommend him to everyone who is seeking fertility assistance. He's caring and patient, extremely knowledgeable and up to speed on the latest techniques.

? ????Gramps sings very few MH songs, really. Let's admit he is an acquired taste but calling him a bad singer is pushing things a little too far.
At least he tried something different,unlike too many vocalists.
In this regard, singers like Mikey Spice, Jack Radics and some more would be dubbed as "bad singers" too, which they surely aren't.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
Kevin Johnson
Kevin Johnson's skill as a ventriloquist is unmatched. After you give up trying to catch his lips moving the magic really begins. Yes, even Kevin thinks the birds are REAL! If you want classic entertainment with contemporary comedy, Kevin Johnson and his cast of characters are your entertainment solution. "Very, very impressive. I've never seen anything like that." -David Letterman "Johnson is a ventriloquist. In fact, a right fine ventriloquist. I tell you, Bergen would move his lips, Kevin never does." -USA Today, March 2006 "Kevin Johnson's seriously funny" Fun World Magazine, April 2002 "I could watch Kevin Johnson for hours. He's the best ventriloquist I've ever seen, and the show is so funny." North County Times, October 1999 "No, his lips didn't move. And after a while, it didn't matter because the crowd had bought into the believability of his characters. They watched the birds, not Johnson. And they laughed." Modesto Bee, January 1998 Kevin has been a ventriloquist nearly all his life. It all started when he was 9 years old, after his parents gave him his first pull-string dummy for Christmas. Having no formal training, he taught himself the art of ventriloquism over a 4 year period. He developed his technique from a parrot. It intrigued him that parrots could speak so clearly without the use of lips. So he re-learned how to speak all together with the use of his tongue and his throat. Is it any wonder that his two closest friends, Clyde and Matilda are birds? Kevin was introduced to the stage by his grandfather Harley Noles, who performed magic shows throughout Colorado. He told Kevin, "If you get good enough, you can open for my show." At the age of 13, he opened for his grandfather with a 5 minute act with a wooden puppet (Raymond), that his grandfather made for him. A new character has recently been added to Kevin's show as a tribute to his grandfather, right down to his name, Harley. Adult audiences love this guy. He holds nothing back and believes he is a real ladies man. Although you'll never see Kevin's mouth move, the real magic happens with the believability of his characters. You'll fall in love with Matilda, laugh hysterically with Clyde and relate awkwardly with Harley. Throughout his show you'll see and experience different variations of ventriloquism. From an audience participant becoming one of Kevin's puppets to a magical drawing board coming to life, his show is a hit to every age. He has a unique ability to appeal to children, seniors and everyone in between. Kevin is mostly recognized from his 2006 appearance on NBC's primetime show America's Got Talent. More than 18 million viewers were amazed by his "Godzilla Theater" and Simon Cowell told Kevin, "America loves you." In February 2007, Kevin achieved one of his lifelong goals when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. He recently finished a 9 year run at San Diego's Legoland California Theme Park where he performed 8,824 shows. He is currently performing during the Summer Nights at Busch Gardens Tampa. Legoland California nominated him for the Big E Awards through IAAPA and won the honor of "Best Male Performer" in 2004 and 2006! Kevin is the only performer to be recognized twice. IAAPA is the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, and includes attractions from over 90 countries. From corporate events to cruise ships, Kevin has always been known for his "clean comedy" and is loved and appreciated by audiences of all ages.

Here are a few great ideas for face masks you can use with ingredients most of us have in our own kitchens! So the next time you feel like your skin needs a treat and you don't have any of your favorite mask on hand – whip up one of these.
A great place to start is with yogurt. Yogurt is beneficial because it contains enzymes and lactic acid that are very good for the skin. Be sure to use plain yogurt only, not any of the flavored kinds. Yogurt is great on its own to help give the skin a glow – and even to help with acne because it has anti-bacterial properties. You can also add a squirt or two of honey to add extra moisture benefits, or mash up some strawberries and add it in. Strawberries are a natural source of salicylic acid so they will help to gently exfoliate and help with acne. Strawberries can also be used on their own as well. Using ripe bananas either on their own or mixed with yogurt will help with oily skin. Oatmeal and yogurt work exceptionally well for dry and dehydrated skin. Whip together some egg whites for a tightening effect to skin, or some yolks for a super nutrient boost great for acne prone skin.
Whatever ingredient(s) you choose for your skin – be sure to use fresh ingredients and apply to clean skin in a thin layer. Leave on for 15-45 minutes then rinse off completely – finishing with your moisturizer. Your skin will look great!

YW125 BeeWee
All new YW125 BeeWee offers power and punch
Yamaha's funky BeeWee scooter has received a radical makeover turning from a quirky caterpillar to a new butterfly.
The new model YW125 benefits from Yamaha's experience with 4-stroke single cylinder engines, combining performance and resilience in a stylish package.
Agile and responsive, this uniquely styled and attitude-filled BeeWee runs a 125cc fuel injected air-cooled engine to offer the power and punch necessary to negotiate the trickiest traffic. A host of additional features make longer rides more comfortable, too. The large seat provides ample room for a pillion passenger, with a sturdy grab rail offering added comfort. The useful under-seat storage is great for stowing essentials.
The nimble BeeWee 125 tackles whatever the day throws at you. From tight, twisting back roads to busy urban high streets.
The BeeWee 125 has the power and performance to back up its rugged, urban looks. The 125cc, 4-stroke, fuel injected, air-cooled engine offers immediate acceleration whenever you turn the throttle, ensuring you have the power to overtake safely and pull away from the lights with confidence. Combined with the grippy tyres and easy handling, it creates the kind of riding character that was made for cities.

Button Up & Bike: Velocio women's cycling apparel
Velocio launched in February of 2014 with a women's performance cycling line. The apparel is the creative venture of Kristy Scrymgeour, owner of Team Specialized-lululemon, and designer Brad Sheehan and the result isn't your average women's bike clothing. Bold colors, clean lines and minimal patterns were the focus of the 2014 and 2015 line. They've since moved into making men's clothing, inspired by the women's collection. While Velocio is no longer a women's exclusive brand they continue to—admirably—place women at the forefront of their identity, a rarity in the cycling world.
We watched and worked and created what we felt was missing: a women's-centric collection developed from the ground up for women, a brand that is in no way an adaptation of a men's line.
Light Long Sleeve Jersey – $179
The Velocio Light Long Sleeve Jersey is perfect for spring or fall. Italian made, this full-zip jersey doesn't feel like my other cycling jerseys. It's super soft against skin, beautifully constructed and easy to move in. Velocio's clothing is designed to be form-fitting and I was happy with the comfortably snug fit of the small. It's made in the traditional 3-pocket style with an additional water-resistant zipper pocket on the rear center. Bright color blocks on the cuffs and collar and tasteful reflective detailing make this item fashionable performance wear.
Since the jersey is polyester, regular washing is a must. Fortunately, the fabric doesn't seem to hang on to smells. Although Velocio recommends drying flat, I have inadvertently dried the jersey and vest, multiple times on low, without any issue.
Wind Vest – $179
I feel a wind vest is essential for maximizing comfort on tweener days—a jacket's too warm but you need something to keep the wind off your chest—and I've been very pleased with Velocio's offering. It's lightweight and packs small, making the vest a great item to throw in your jersey pocket or hydration pack for windy days and cool temps. The windproof front and side panels reflect the elements while the mesh back provides ventilation. It mimics the jersey, featuring three back pockets, color block accents and reflective details.
The vest is also designed with a tailored fit and fits great over the jersey. However, I was hoping to wear it over layers and looser fitting garments, but the armholes and figure-hugging design aren't very forgiving in this regard. Velocio recognized this and scaled up their vests for 2015 to account for layers.
On a windy day, in the low to mid-50s, I wore both the jersey and wind vest. I've found the combo to be well-suited to evening mountain bike rides, as well. As my body temp started to rise I packed away the vest. Without the vest, the mesh side panels from the jersey's armpits to waist allow the fabric to breathe.
The shoulder seasons can be difficult to dress for, but the Velocio Light Long Sleeve/Wind Vest combo make a great pair for these days of swinging temps. I'll be wearing this versatile duo for many spring and fall rides to come.
Velocio has a 30-day guarantee. During that period you can ride in the product as much as you like to see if it's right for you.Tweet Print

Yes, it's that time of year when we vow to make healthy eating choices. Start here, with a simple, wholesome vegetarian supper, just eggplant, zucchini and tomato with a little feta stirred in, quick to make and full of flavor. Weight Watchers, make this a year-round staple: an entrée serving adds up to just 2 points (Old Points) or 3 points (PointsPlus).
Many thanks to reader Lou Grubaugh who forwarded this recipe last fall, calling it an "oldie but goodie".
The Oldie? The source is a 25-year old 1987 Sunset Recipe Annual where the headnotes read, "Alone, eggplant is unassertive, but in the proper company, this retiring vegetable grows bold."
The Goodie? Mediterranean Eggplant has many of the same ingredients as Ratatouille and Caponata yet turns out an entirely different dish, the way a poached egg is nothing like a scrambled egg and a hot dog is a fur cry from a pork chop.
Twenty-five years from now, let's hope that people will still be sharing this recipe. That would make a Really Old Oldie and a Really Good Goodie.
Time to table: 45 minutes
Makes 5 cups
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, cut in large pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 globe eggplant, about 1 pound, cut in one-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon dry basil
- 1 zucchini, about 1/2 pound, cut in thick half moons
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (see TIPS)
- 3/4 cup (2.5oz/70g) feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt & pepper to taste
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil until shimmery on medium heat. Add onion and garlic, stir to coat with fat, then cook until onion begins to turn color, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in eggplant and basil. Cover and cook until eggplant begins to turn color, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in zucchini and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until eggplant and zucchini are almost completely cooked, stirring occasionally.
Stir in tomato and heat through. Just before serving (see TIPS), stir in feta and season to taste.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a vegetarian main dish with Oven-Baked Brown Rice or Garlicky Polenta.

I was reading one of your other recipes - one for a parsnip soup - where you said, "I've long been a seasonal cook: no tomatoes in February, no parsnips in August, no asparagus in November." Where do you get eggplants and zucchini this time of year in St. Louis?
Seasonal eating, to me anyway, also means adapting to the seasons. In winter that means focusing on what's available, what is somehow right for the season (here, a light, healthy dish after the holidays) as much as, maybe more than, what's "local".
Thanks for the chance to think on this for a bit. What is your OWN thought?
Post a Comment
Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

DETROIT, March 1 (UPI) -- The National Conference of Black Mayors plans to move a meeting from Detroit to New Orleans because of the scandal involving Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Vanessa Williams, executive director of the conference, told The Detroit Free Press the group consulted Kilpatrick before making the switch.
"I think the mayor wants to focus on the issues at hand," she said.
Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff could face perjury charges. Recently published text messages suggested the mayor and Christine Beatty lied under oath about having an affair and about firing a whistle-blowing police officer.
"When we saw what was going on," Williams said, "we were reaching out to the mayor's office to say, 'Are we OK?' 'Is the conference OK?' The response was that the mayor wanted us to go to another site."
The conference meetings usually attract 300 to 400 mayors. With staff members, total attendance was expected to be about 2,500 people.

Critical Perspectives on Humanitarian Discourses
Marouf Hasian Jr.
Critical studies of humanitarian discourses involve the study of the arguments, claims, and evidence that are used to justify intervention or non-intervention in key local, regional, national, or international contexts. These discourses can take the form of arguing over whether we should practice isolationism and not intervene in the sovereign affairs of other countries, or they can take the form of deliberations over the transcend needs of populations that cope with myriad disasters. In some cases these discourses are produced by foreigners who believe that the less fortunate need to be rescued from their misery, while at other times humanitarian discourses can be used in discussions about the human rights of the disempowered. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), nation-states, celebrities, medical communications, and militaries are just a few of the rhetors that produce all of these humanitarian discourses.
Materialist Rhetoric
Bryan J. McCann
The term materialist rhetoric refers to scholarly approaches that seek to account for the relationship between rhetoric and the world that it inhabits. Rhetoricians have differed sharply on the character of this relationship and how it should inform rhetorical theory, criticism, and practice. To be a materialist is to insist that there exists a world outside of human agency that exerts force on human affairs. Marxism is the most influential philosophical tradition for materialist rhetoric, although rhetoricians vary in terms of their adherence to and interpretation of its principles. Karl Marx argued that the antagonistic class relations at the core of capitalism were the chief material determinant for social being. Historical materialism is the primary methodology of Marxist critique, and it rests on the premise that the character of class relations is not governed solely by human volition. Rather, these relations create the conditions of possibility for and shape the trajectory of social life.
While Marxism has informed the liveliest debates regarding materialist rhetoric, not all materialist rhetoricians are Marxists. The earliest iterations of materialist rhetoric drew on Marxism for inspiration, but did not adopt an explicitly anticapitalist orientation. Rather, materialist rhetoric initially referred to calls for rhetoricians to better account for the material character of rhetoric itself. Later developments in materialist rhetoric emerged from debates regarding the nature of Marxism as a rhetorical method, the question of whether rhetoric is representational or constitutive, the character of rhetorical agency, and the existence of a knowable material world outside of rhetoric. Classical Marxists in rhetoric have argued that scholars should predicate their work on the presumption of an experiential reality outside of discourse that exerts force on human symbolic activity. They argue that grounding rhetorical critique in a nondiscursive materiality is necessary for ethical judgment and political practice. Others who reject classical Marxism embrace the claim that rhetoric is material—so much so, in fact, that it comprises every dimension of social being.
Debates between these perspectives hinge largely on how different scholars theorize contemporary capitalism. Whereas classical Marxists retain faith in the revolutionary agency of the working class, their critics contend that rhetoric itself has become the central modality of labor in the modern economy and, therefore, the chief resource for resistance. Other materialist perspectives do not dwell on theoretical debates regarding Marxism, but instead attend to other dimensions of being beyond human symbol use. Whereas some scholars are interested in rhetoric's relationship to the human body and physical spaces, others theorize rhetoric in ways that reach beyond the limits of human cognition.
Meta-Analysis in Health and Risk Messaging
Simon Zebregs and Gert-Jan de Bruijn
Meta-analyses are becoming increasingly popular in the field of health and risk communication—meta-analyses allow for more precise estimations of the magnitude of effects and the robustness of those effects across empirical studies in a particular domain. Despite its popularity, most scholars are not trained in the basic methods involved with meta-analyses. There are advantages to meta-analysis in comparison to other forms of research synthesis. An overview of the methods involved in conducting and reporting meta-analytical research is helpful.
However, the methods involved with meta-analyses are not as clear-cut as they may first appear. Numerous issues must be considered and various arbitrary decisions are required during the process. These issues and decisions relate to various topics such as inclusion criteria, the selection of sources, quality assessments for eligible studies, and publication bias. Basic knowledge of these issues and decisions is important for interpreting the outcomes of a meta-analysis correctly.
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri in Communication Studies
Matthew Bost and Matthew S. May
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri are among the most powerful theorists of communication and social change under present-day global capitalism. In their Empire trilogy and other individual and collaborative works, Hardt and Negri argue for the fundamentally communicative nature of contemporary power. Their analyses demonstrate the ways that media technology, global flows of finance capital, and the contemporary shift to economies based on information and affective or emotional labor create new, more complex networks of oppression and new possibilities for more democratic social change. Hardt and Negri's work, therefore, shifts the focus of critical communication and cultural theory from attaining or challenging political power within the nation-state and invites scholars to rethink sovereignty as empire: an interconnected global phenomenon appertaining to capitalism in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. They furthermore reimagine dissent as a constitutive process of resistance and mutual aid through which the multitude simultaneously withdraws from empire and composes itself through the social communication of struggles across time and space. Hardt and Negri's work has been taken up in communication studies to theorize the materiality of communication; the labor performed in cognitive, communication, and service industries; contemporary media audiences and reception; and historical and contemporary social movements, from the Industrial Workers of the World to the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street.
Diane Marie Keeling and Marguerite Nguyen Lehman
Posthumanism is a philosophical perspective of how change is enacted in the world. As a conceptualization and historicization of both agency and the "human," it is different from those conceived through humanism. Whereas a humanist perspective frequently assumes the human is autonomous, conscious, intentional, and exceptional in acts of change, a posthumanist perspective assumes agency is distributed through dynamic forces of which the human participates but does not completely intend or control. Posthumanist philosophy constitutes the human as: (a) physically, chemically, and biologically enmeshed and dependent on the environment; (b) moved to action through interactions that generate affects, habits, and reason; and (c) possessing no attribute that is uniquely human but is instead made up of a larger evolving ecosystem. There is little consensus in posthumanist scholarship about the degree to which a conscious human subject can actively create change, but the human does participate in change.
As distinguished from posthumanism, humanism is credited with attributing the conscious and intentional human subject as the dominant source of agency most worthy of scholarly attention. Since its inception during the Renaissance, humanism has been constituted in various ways throughout history, but as a collective body of literature, the human is typically constituted through humanism as: (a) autonomous from nature given the intellectual faculties of the mind that controls the body, (b) uniquely capable of and motivated by speech and reason, and (c) an exceptional animal that is superior to other creatures. Humanist assumptions concerning the human are infused throughout Western philosophy and reinforce a nature/culture dualism where human culture is distinct from nature. In contrast, a posthumanist scholar rejects this dichotomy through understanding the human as entangled with its environment. A posthumanist scholar of communication typically integrates scholarship from a variety of other disciplines including, but not limited to: art, architecture, cybernetics, ecology, ethology, geology, music, psychoanalysis, and quantum physics.
Nathan A. Crick
Poststructuralism represents a set of attitudes and a style of critique that developed in critical response to the growth and identification of the logic of structural relations that underlie social institutions—whether they exist in terms of politics, economics, education, medicine, literature, or the sciences. Poststructuralism should therefore not be thought of as a distinct philosophy that exists separately as its own "structure"—a proposition that would undermine its most fundamental attitudes. Rather, poststructuralism should be thought of as developing or arising only in response to pre-existing structures and, as a set of attitudes, helping us better understand, interpret, and alter our social environment by calling established meanings into question, revealing the points of ambiguity and indeterminacy inherent in any system, rejecting the rationalistic piety that all systems are internally coherent and circle around an unchanging center, showing how discourses are carriers of power capable of turning us into subjects, and placing upon us the burden of ethical responsibility that accompanies the acceptance of freedom.
Although poststructuralism by its very nature as a set of attitudes denies any attempt at comprehensive definition, this essay examines three of the major postructuralist thinkers in order to relate their thought to the study of communication. First, following Derrida, poststructuralist thought invites a critical deconstruction of any discourse that presents itself as completely coherent, centered, and rational. Poststructuralist approaches thus do not argue against a position by harnessing counterarguments drawing on a different set of principles. Rather, it deconstructs a discourse by occupying it and exposing the gaps, contradictions, paradoxes, and deferments, thus revealing its established hierarchies, binaries, logical conclusions, and principles to be far more loosely structured and poly-vocal than its advocates wish to present them. Second, following Barthes, poststructuralism refuses to locate any single point of origin of any text that can ground its meaning—particularly by pointing to some ground of the author. Although not denying that writers exist, Barthes refuses to identify the meaning of a text with the author's biography and intentions, instead inviting multiple interpretations from the perspective of individual readers who encounter the text as a unique event. Therefore, just as discourses do not have a unified structure, neither do individual texts or the authors that produce them. Lastly, following Fouacult, poststructuralism invites an inquiry into how discourses, texts, and acts of communication are always implicated in relations of power that act upon possible actions. Following the first two propositions, poststructuralism does not analyze these relations of power as completely structured and determinate, however. Power relations are always within a dynamic relationship with acts of resistance, thereby constantly leaving space for freedom and possibility.
Nathan A. Crick
When John Dewey announced that communication was the most wonderful of all affairs, he recognized the centrality of communication within the tradition of American pragmatism. In other traditions of philosophy, such as idealism or empiricism, communication certainly played a role, but usually it was a secondary function of transmitting ideas from one mind to another. In idealism, ideas were discovered through intuitive revelation of the whole and only later expressed through transcendent eloquence, whereas in empiricism, particular data was attained purely by the senses and communication served a kind of documentary function of fact gathering. Pragmatism, however, inverted this traditional hierarchy. By arguing that the meaning of our ideas was only found in their effects and consequences in experience, particularly those consequences brought about through shared experience, pragmatists made communication both the origin and consummation of knowledge—regardless if that knowledge was practical, scientific, aesthetic, or social. Consequently, pragmatists believed that improving the quality of communication practices was central to improving not only the state of knowledge but the quality of our experience living together in a common world.
Public Culture
Robert Hariman
The concept of public culture refers most broadly to the dynamic negotiation of beliefs, values, and attitudes regarding collective association through media and other social practices that are defined by norms of open access and voluntary response. The concept is a recent innovation and applies primarily to modern societies, where public culture is the envelope of communication practices within which public opinion is formed; those practices can include news, entertainment, the arts, advertising, social media, and many other means for representing and judging any individual, institution, or custom having collective significance. The term "public" emphasizes relatively unrestricted communication across civil society regarding governance and other matters affecting the general welfare. The term "culture" emphasizes that public opinion depends on contextual factors that emerge through multiple media and embodied responsiveness. These considerations provide a basis for analysis of distinctively modern relationships across civil society, media technologies, and political action in a global context.
Public Memory
Matthew Houdek and Kendall R. Phillips
The term public memory refers to the circulation of recollections among members of a given community. These recollections are far from being perfect records of the past; rather, they entail what we remember, the ways we frame it, and what aspects we forget. Broadly, public memory differs from official histories in that the former is more informal, diverse, and mutable where the latter is often presented as formal, singular, and stable. Beginning in the 1980s, scholars from various disciplines became interested in the way ideas about the past were crafted, circulated, and contested. A wide variety of artifacts give evidence of public memory, including public speeches, memorials, museums, holidays, and films. Scholars interested in public memory have observed the importance of such informal practices in relation to the conception of the nation-state, as well as a growing sense of an interconnected transnational or global network of memories. While the study of public memory spans multiple disciplines, its uptake in communication and rhetorical studies has produced a wealth of critical and theoretical perspectives that continues to shape the field.
Race, Nationalism, and Transnationalism
Myra Washington and Kent A. Ono
Race is important within U.S. society and globally. However, race also plays a significant role in communication, and research on its influence cuts across every conceivable area of the field, ranging from rhetoric to organizational communication to film studies to health communication. Race is discussed so much within communication that this article, although expansive, cannot refer to all the important work that has been done. Research on race and communication considers a broad range of racial, multiracial, and ethnic groups. Scholarship also ranges from more applied research to purely theoretical work.
Critical and cultural studies work has significantly affected the way scholars think about communication and race. Specifically, concepts developed and explored have provided new lenses through which to understand communication and race. Nationalism, for example is significant. A nation is a collectively shared and discursively constructed identity. In thinking about nations as imagined communities cultural ties (such as language, ethnicity, and shared memories) are part of that identity. For racially marginalized groups, a nation may be a political organization at the same time as it is a collectively identified political group based on racial ethnic ties, ancestry, or simply politics. The concept of transnationalism, on the other hand, relates to cross or "trans" national relations, ties, and processes, processes that globalization has accelerated and strengthened, such as the movement of capital, media, and people which in turn has shaped local happenings and vice versa. When coupled with nationalism and transnationalism, race plays a mediating role, helping to govern and regulate people, relationships, and sometimes the very reason for relationships existing.

KT Tunstall & the Akai E2 Headrush
KT Tunstall Says . . .
\\\"Basically, it's the cheapest band in the world. I'd seen people using it with the guitar, so they'd loop guitar lines. The first person I saw using it was this guy called Son Of Dave, this amazing Canadian nylon Elvis, and I saw him at the 333 club, Old Street in London. And I was completely mesmerized. He just beatboxed and had a shaker and a mouth organ, and it was amazing. Really lo-fi blues. So I got myself one and thought there must be a way of getting beats by hitting the guitar. So a friend of mine helped me split all the signals so I could put my vocal and guitar through the pedal. Usually you'd just put one thing through. So then I just bashed my guitar and it came out sounding like a drum, and I ended up putting these beats together and it worked perfectly. And there's nothing like a girl with a boy toy it definitely gets people's attention.
After a gig I did I got about 600 emails from 19 year old boys saying 'yeh, you were very good and all that, but what's the pedal it's totally amazing.'\\\"

Opinion: Movies
Good Movies, Bad Religion
In the past week I had the privilege of seeing two amazing films: There Will Be Blood (bit on the long side) and the uncut version of Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander (a whopping five-plus hours that fly by). Interestingly, coincidentally, both stories are set about a 100 years ago and both feature a very dark religious figure—a money-hungry… READ MORE >
Reviews: Movies
California Burning
"A strange and enthralling evocation of frontier capitalism and manifest destiny set at the dawn of the 20th century… There's hardly a dull moment. Digs collapse, gushers burst into flame, God metes out punishment and so does man. Revelations overturn the narrative: The last 20 minutes are as shocking in their way as the plague that rains from the sky in Magnolia's finale. By the time the closing words "There Will Be Blood" appear (with a burst of Brahms) inscribed in heavy gothic letters on the screen, Anderson's movie has come to seem an Old Testament story of cosmic comeuppance and filicidal madness—American history glimpsed through the smoke and fire that the lightning left behind."

How To Become A 3D Printer Technician in Georgia
In order to qualify for 3D Printing jobs in Georgia, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your 3d printer technology courses online. Check with each engineering school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for 3D Printing careers in Georgia, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? To earn a competitive salary, compare accredited engineering concentrations, and research technical certificate programs in your chosen field. Check with the 3d printer technology department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
3D printing is an emerging engineering technology used mainly for rapid prototyping across a wide variety of industries. How are 3D objects printed? There are several different printing processes, including breaking down a 3D digital file into cross sections, and depositing material layer by layer to build up a real, 3D object. The term 3D printing emerged when MIT patented several 3-dimensional printing techniques. 3D printing technology is most-often used in the automotive, medical, consumer electronics, and manufacturing industries.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
Nanotechnology is helping to revolutionize many technology and industry sectors, including materials science, renewable energy, biomedical technology, 3D printing and robotics manufacturing. At its most basic, nanotech relies on tailoring the structure of materials at an atomic or molecular scale, to achieve specific properties. Using nanotechnology, new materials can be fabricated that are stronger, lighter, and more efficient electrical conductors. Beyond major requirements within the 3d printer technology department, you may consider Cedarville University plumbing classes as a complementary elective.

Anti-piracy message targets downloaders
A pair of New York inventors believe they can thwart music pirates by secretly burying an anti-piracy warning in a track, which is disinterred if the copyright has been abused, New Scientist reports.
The warning - for instance, a voice from a record company boss, berating the user for piracy - exploits the fact that the tones of a musical instrument consist of a complex pattern of randomly-phased harmonics.
Inventors Mark Bocko and Zeljko Ignjatovic tweaked a few harmonics to shift out of the pattern and then used those shifts to convey a 20-kilobit speech message.
Their patented idea is to incorporate a software decoder in file-sharing applications which encourage mass copying and are the bane of the music industry today.
The decoder would detect the telltale phase shifts and convert them into the warning message, causing them to boom out through loudspeakers or headphones, the British weekly reports in next Saturday's issue.
For legitimate listeners, though, the digital shifts are so small that there is no difference at all in the perception of the music.
Previous attempts by researchers to bury anti-piracy signals in copyrighted music and films have run into counter-measures by hackers, who filter out the message, and also compatibility problems in players.

Public Archaeology is…
…engaging the public in order to share archaeological findings and/or promote stewardship of cultural resources or to otherwise make archaeology relevant to society by providing the public with the means for constructing their own past….
…this growing field of archaeological research includes theoretical and practical work in archaeological heritage management (AHM), archaeological education, museum archaeology, the sociopolitics of archaeology, Cultural Resources Management (CRM), and a number of other arenas in which archaeologists and their publics interact….
(Carol McDavid, (2002:2) From Real Space to Cyberspace: The Internet and Public Archaeological Practice. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, University of Cambridge).
Public Archaeology is...
… a subfield of practice evolving exponentially.
… applied practice undertaken by educators with archaeology experience and or archaeologists with educational interests
… a sub-specialty of theoretical academic practice (e.g., Ph.D. dissertations, MA theses, taught courses and college/university programs)
… often required and or offered as a mitigation option in Cultural Resources Management.
As Public Archaeology matures, it increasingly involves hybrid professionals --
collaborative efforts done not by one archaeologist, one educator, or one institution but by a combination of any of these (e.g., individuals having formal training in both archaeology and K-12 education, formal interpretation training, public relations, etc.)
Chair of the SAA Excellence in Public Education Award Committee (Patrice L. Jeppson) writing in the Committee Report to the Board, 2005.
Public Archaeology is...
Public archaeology, also called community archaeology in some places, is the passing along of information discovered in academic archaeology to people outside of the profession, whether that information is passed along via the Internet, or books, television programs, lectures, pamphlets, museum displays, archaeology fairs, or by opening up excavations to the public.
Many scholars are reluctant to participate in public archaeology, perhaps because it takes away time from their research, or because they are uncomfortable in public venues, or because they can't resolve the many ethical dilemmas that accompany making culturally sensitive data public.
The new article Public Archaeology describes many of these ethical issues, particularly those concerning preservation of archaeological sites, and the privacy of descendants of the people studied. Practicing public archaeology is complicated, and I for one greatly appreciate those scholars who do dedicate some of their research time to explaining what it is they do and what they have learned to the rest of us. Without their input into these pages, this public archaeology venue would be much poorer.

PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY, an international, peer-reviewed journal.
This journal is promoted by its publisher as "the only international, peer-reviewed journal to provide an arena for the growing debate surrounding archaeological and heritage issues as they relate to the wider world of politics, ethics, government, social questions, education, management, economics and philosophy. As a result, the journal includes ground-breaking research and insightful analysis on topics ranging from ethnicity, indigenous archaeology and cultural tourism to archaeological policies, public involvement and the antiquities trade. Key issues covered include the sale of unprovenanced and frequently looted antiquities, the relationship between emerging modern nationalism and the profession of archaeology, privitization of the profession, human rights and, in particular, the rights of indigenous populations with respect to their sites and, material relics representation of archaeology in the media, the law on portable finds or treasure troves, archaeologist as an instrument of state power, or catalyst to local resistance to the state. Public Archaeology is for all those who wish to take part, keep themselves informed, or build on a keen interest in the field, including: archaeologists, cultural historians, cultural economists, heritage managers, specialist journalists, political commentators, leisure and tourist operators, private consultancies, national and international lawyers and conservationists as well as those responsible for university courses in museum studies, heritage management, politics, anthropology and law."

Careers in Archaeology Education -- an SAA Public Education Committee Handout
This handout produced by the SAA Public Education Committee for use at a CRM Expo in 2005 presents a pragmatic look at some career paths in Public Archaeology -- namely Archaeology Education jobs. Read the response to this handout written by Carol McDavid.
Public Archaeology is…
"Public Archaeology is a branch of modern archaeology that focuses on increasing public awareness and education about archaeology. A goal of Public Archaeology is the preservation of the fragile sites of our prehistoric and historic past that are being destroyed at an alarming rate through natural process and development."
Florida Public Archaeology Network (University of West Florida) web page, accessed April, 2007.
Public Archaeology is… A plea for Community Archaeology
A paper by Barbara Betz posted on the Saving Antiquities for Everyone website provides a very good definition of community archaeology:
"What is community archaeology? The most basic, widely applicable definition of community archaeology is that given by archaeologist Stephane Moser of the University of Southhampton in England: it is the practice of archaeological research in which "at every step in a project at least partial control remains with the community." Packed within this definition are many implications and variations from project to project. This is to be expected in a technique that has emerged more or less independently in projects all over the world and which, by nature, must be highly reflexive and responsive to each particular archaeological site and its associated communities. There are, however, some factors common to all community archaeology projects: an emphasis on multivocality and genuine, two-way dialogue between archaeologists and the affected public, and an investment in empowering involved communities in political, social, and/or material ways.On the face of it, relinquishing total control over a project in this way may seem like a risky proposition that goes above and beyond an archaeologist's call of duty and endangers scientific objectivity in the process. Yet current archaeological practice is riddled with problems and it is clear from several case studies that community archaeology is not only necessary but actually beneficial to all involved – including the archaeologists and their research."

Public Archaeology is......Archaeology and Civic Engagement
Archaeology can play a role in efforts to strengthen communities and promote public dialogue, particularly as archeological projects increasingly involve the communities in which they occur and as archeologists recognize their ethical responsibilities to involve multiple stakeholders. This technical brief from the National Park Service provides explanations of civic engagement and social capital as well as case studies and suggestions for ways that archaeologists can participate in this effort.
