Glass candy ornaments are easy to make and fun for kids. Using cookie cutters and a little help from an adult, youngsters can turn hard candies into faux glass candy ornaments for the holidays. Watch the candies melt before your very eyes in the over, and then harden as they cool! This activity will allow your child to demonstrate her ability to follow instructions, use her fine motor skills, and show off her creativity. It can also be a fun introduction to using the kitchen.

- Aluminum foil
- Ribbon
What You Do:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Help your child spray the cookie cutters with nonstick spray.
- If using cookie cutters, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay the cookie cutters on top, then have your child place a few candies into the cookie cutters in a single layer. A silicon candy mold works well too, and all you have to do is place the candies inside each mold.
- Put the cookie cutters in the oven and bakefor approximately 8-10 minutes or until the candy is fully melted. Carfeully remove from the oven.
- Your child can drop a few sprinkles on top as decoration, then let them cool for a few minutes so they are slightly hardened.
- When the candy is still a little soft, insert the tapered end of s chopstick into each candy to create a hole for the ribbon.
- Let the candy shapes cool completely, then carefully remove them from the cookie cutters or molds.
- Now thread a ribbon through the hole to create an ornament.

I love using this overlocker (I had it nearly 4 months now). Not much adjustment is needed to the basic setup unless you are sewing very thick or super thin material.I am just amazed how good it is, especially when I managed to sew a very thin chiffon silk using the picot edging with a cotton thread. (!)I find it extremely easy to use and threading it is really easy due to the markings on the machine (the DVD scares you this is complicated, but actually it is not). I am rally grateful for the great advice in the shop as if not got it I probably would go for a cheaper model and then end up regretting the purchase.One negative I have to say (if this even could be a negative) it didn't came with a cleaning brush which I think is an essential as you need to clean the machine after each garment.I love this overlocker and would wholeheartedly recommend it.
Good quality.
Excellent little addition, easy to attach and use.

Bobbi Brown Onyx & Silver Eye Paint Palette
Bobbi Brown Onyx & Silver Eye Paint Palette
Bobbi Brown Onyx & Silver Eye Paint Palette ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) contains four shades of Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Eye Paints. They're designed to not only wear for hours but are "densely pigmented" and "can be applied wet or dry" with a "lustrous, highly-reflective finish."
It includes these shades: Tinsel (light silver), Silver (blue silver), Lava (black with silver pearl), and Blue Onyx (deep indigo blue)
- Tinsel is a bright silver with silvery-white glitter and a metallic finish. It's sheer both dry and wet, and it doesn't come together smoothly even when applied wet–I had a lot of fall out with this shade. It's a bit lighter than MAC Filament.
- Silver is a dark silver-shimmered gray with subtle brow undertones and a bluish sheen. It has decent color payoff when applied dry but becomes opaque, deep, and smooth when applied damp. It reminded me of theBalm Muppetational, which is a bit lighter. MAC Tundra is also similar in both color and finish.
- Lava is a matte black with silver sparkle and teal shimmer layered on top. It's a better version of Bobbi Brown Onyx. It's in the same vein as shades like MAC Black Tied and Lancome The New Black (which is the best of this type). When applied dry, the sparkle is less noticeable, and it appears as more of a black-brown with a dry, almost chalky look. When applied damp, it's much more intense, more like a black, and the sparkle comes out more. I did experience some fall out with this shade.
- Blue Onyx is a blackened blue with an indigo blue shimmer and sheen. It's more of a satiny finish than metallic as described. This shade was very, very sheer when applied dry, and it doesn't look all that blue either. When I dampened the product, it came out more vibrant and the blue came to the forefront. It reminded me of MAC Blue Storm. Givenchy Lune Mordoree is also similar but a touch purpler.
If you're a fan of MAC's Mineralize Eyeshadows, you'll probably like Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Eye Paints, because they're really similar. They have the feel, look, and wear of baked eyeshadows. If you use them dry, expect sheerer color payoff, while dampening the shade will greatly intensify the pigmentation and smooth out the texture. The colors are prone to fading during wear if you use them damp/wet during application; of course, they will always dry a little more muted than when they are initially applied wet since it does not stay perpetually wet, but it fades even more.
Tinsel had a ton of fall out; it was difficult to apply from the get-go because of the amount of excess that littered my under eye area, but I had continual fall out throughout the day because it just doesn't bind together. You'd really need a sticky base to get it to adhere to minimize the fall out. I had similar issues with Lava but to a lesser degree; I didn't have too much fall out during application, but I did find the silver sparkles transferred to parts unknown as the day wore on.

What to CookGuacamole
Dinner Tonight: Migas + Guacamole
Sunshine for dinner, courtesy of everyone's favorite: Mexican food! Well, Tex-Mex, really. Either way, delicious stuff. A luxurious, simple guacamole to serve (in big generous heaps) alongside lastnightsdinner's perfect mess of migas.
If you wanted to go all the way and mix up a pitcher of these, we would think you were a weeknight superstar and we'd like to know when you'd like us to come over.
If you're hunkered down for Hurricane Sandy, check out these pantry supper ideas instead!
The Menu
Click through on the recipe photos or titles to see (and save and print) the full recipes, but we've also written you a handy grocery list and game plan below.
Roberto Santibañez' Classic Guacamole by Genius Recipes
Not Exactly Grandma's Migas by lastnightsdinner
Serves 6
1 fresh serrano or jalapeño chile
1 large or 2 small ripe Mexican Hass avocados
6 to 8 corn tortillas
1 pickled green chile
Fresh cilantro
6 extra-large eggs
A couple limes
Optional garnishes:
Monterey jack or cheddar cheese
Your favorite salsa
We're betting you've got an onion, sea salt, dried oregano, a can of whole peeled tomatoes, garlic, and canola oil lurking around in the kitchen. If not, you'll need those too!
1. Prep the guacamole by mashing up the onion, salt, and cilantro (but don't cut into those avocados yet).
2. Prep everything for the migas (slice and dice and so on). Begin to cook the tortilla pieces.
3. Finish the guacamole and be sure to spritz on some lime juice to keep it from browning while you finish the migas.
4. Make your tomato-y mixture and stir in the beaten eggs. Finish and serve with lots of cheese, salsa, and guacamole (maybe even a marg!).

Meraki Takes Wired Network Routers to the Cloud
January 13, 2011
New cloud managed wired networking router debuts from Wi-Fi vendor, alongside a new subscription model for hardware.
The traditional enterprise network pays for routers that are then typically managed via the corporate LAN or VPN. Wi-Fi networking vendor Meraki is now aiming to challenge the traditional model of management and acquisition of wired routers with a new cloud-based subscription service for router management and hardware.
The new Meraki cloud-managed MX50 and MX70 routers include application firewalls as well as traffic shaping features. As opposed to traditional router deployments, the MX50 and MX70 routers are managed via a cloud service deployed by Meraki.
"Organizations have used MPLS tunnels, leased line and other types of high cost dedicated links between branches to connect them all," Kiren Sekar, director of marketing at Meraki told InternetNews.com. "The Meraki device is designed to use commodity Internet connections."
Meraki had previously focused its efforts on offering Wi-Fi management via the cloud and is now extending the model to wired routers.
The MX50 has four 1000 Base-T (1 gigabit Ethernet) ports with an additional 1000 Base-T WAN interface. The MX50 is intended for small office of up to 20 users and provides stateful firewall throughput of 100 Mbps. In contrast, the MX70 is a more robust device with two WAN interfaces, four LAN ports and 400 Mbps of stateful firewall throughput.The underlying operating system in the MX50 and MX70 router is a customized Linux base that Meraki has enhanced.
"The software on the device is proprietary, it is Linux-based, but it's actually firmware and software that we developed," Sekar said.
The management side of the Meraki MX50 and MX70 resides in the cloud, as a service managed by Meraki. Sekar noted that users will have to use the Meraki infrastructure and can't host the management in their own private enterprise cloud.
"That's a trade-off we made because of the things we do to modify, tune and upgrade our system, which is so fast," Sekar said. "We make updates to the service several times a day -- these can be minor performance enhancements, bug fixes or major new features."
The way that Meraki is selling the new MX50 and MX70 routers is also a bit different than traditional router vendors. Sekar explained that both the hardware and the cloud management service are being offered on a subscription model starting at approximately $35 per router a month, or $400 a year.
"The customer owns the router, but if they decide to stop their subscription the hardware will stop working, after a grace period," Sekar said. "There is no upfront cost, you pay on a per year basis and if you decide not to renew you can do that."

2.5 tiers, SOFEA and SOUI
- 2.5 tiers name is technically not very precise, but IMHO much more evocative.
- Completely agree on the Front-Controller being an anti-pattern now
2.5 tiers at Javaday 2010
This year at Javaday I'll be happy to present a talk on what I see as a new emergent approach in Web Development. It's not a completely brand new approach, but it's slowly gaining momentum since a couple of years. I couldn't find a good name for this approach, so I invented a new one, "2.5 tiers".
The 2.5 tiers approach is about how Jquery and Rest are changing the way we design webapps: there is no need anymore of complex server side MVC, because you can easily do all the work in javascript, with the help of unobtrusive cross platform Javascript libraries like JQuery.
RESTful design is the other side of the coin, because producing JSON representation of data to be consumed by Javascript is now as easy in Java as in higher level web scripting languages, mostly thanks to libraries like RESTEasy (which is a powerful JAX-RS implementation).
The name 2.5 tiers shows that it's not anymore a full 3 tiers, but it's neither an old client server app (2 tiers). You still have code on the server: caching, validation, REST services, JSON transformation are all on the server side. But a lot of code is now moving back to the client: gui widgets (Jquery UI) are completely client side (probably feeded by a server with JSON) and that's hardly news, but templating for example (JTemplate is one of the emerging libraries) is far less common on the client side. So it's two tiers and "a half".
An interesting side effect of this approach is that you are free to choose for example a .Net application server instead of a Java one (don't take that as an advice!), or try something new and cooler like Erlang or Scala, without touching a single line of GUI code: you basically only have to implement the same interface (GET, POST, PUT and DELETE) and produce the same representation of data (mostly JSON, but XML still has its role sometimes). That means, yes, you can write cross browser components (independent by server side code too!) and reuse those components in other departments of your company that use different technologies (if you are like me, in our company we basically have all the existing IT architectures of the world).
Antiprocrastination tools
Getting rid of Wordpress...
Here it is what I did:
1) I exported my wordpress blog. You have only to login to your WordPress account, navigate to the Dashboard, look for the Export link. Wordpress will produce a WXR file (Wordpress eXtended Rss) which you will be able to save to your local machine.
2) Go to Wordpress2Blogger, browse the saved WXR document and click Convert and save that file to your local machine. This second XML file is a blogspot specific file.
3) Create your blog on blogspot.com and choose the XML export file you just produced in the Import Blog Tool. Alternatively if you already own a blogspot blog, go to the panel, choose the "Settings -> General". On the first row, immediately before the "Title" filed (yes, it's just a little hidden) there are import and export links. Just click on import and you will see immediately all your old posts and comments
4) After creating my blogspot blog, I wanted to integrate in my site, using my domain name and my look and feel: to do that I just configured the great Rapidblog plugin from Loghound software in my Rapidweaver project. You basically only need to give the blogspot username/password to the plugin.
Et voilà, a complete blog migration in less than one pomodoro! Bye bye wordpress.
Pomodoro desktop for Mac
Just announced my Pomodoro desktop client for mac. It is a simple but effective way to manage your (coding) time. I am planning to add a lot of interesting features to it, so stay tuned!
Da Java a Logo...
Però qui potete trovare il materiale del corso di programmazione che ho organizzato per i bambini della scuola elementare Maurizio Poggiali, in via Benedetto Croce. Per rendere il post minimamente più interessante, con antlr sto anche cercando di implementare un interprete migliore di quello scritto "a mano" in kde. Ovviamente tanto non lo finirò mai, ma questa è un'altra storia :)
iPhone applications up and running...
Almost 20 days to approve the contract, phew.
And now, let's find the bug: in the iFiscal app, some users reported crashes and hangs. Unfortunately, the app works pretty well in the simulator and on all physical devices I tested. Right now, I don't know how to fix it: I found a little leak with Instruments which I'll fix as soon as possible, but it appears to be not related to the crashes reported (apparently all on "cambio comune").
If you own an iphone/ipod touch and the application didn't work for you, let me know exactly the firmware and the exact model of your device (f.e. iPhone 16Gb, 2nd generation, fw 2.2), and what you were doing.
Update: ah, let me also know if it's jailbreaked (no, I'm not an apple employee :) ). Perhaps it doesn't mean anything, but I didn't test the app on a jailbreaked iphone, and the users who reported me the crash have all a jailbreaked iphone.

Selecting a Fishfinder – How To Pick The Best One For You
One of the most important pieces of any angler's arsenal is a fishfinder/gps unit. Many would argue that a fish finder is the most important tool to consistently catching more and larger gamefish and we tend to agree. These units range from simple models that give basic depth and temperature information to models can read 3D lake maps and integrate with other systems such as downriggers and autopilot. The information that a sonar gives an angler is invaluable and is usually the deciding factor when picking a location to fish. Any information that you get from your sonar provides you with the edge that can be the difference between spending the entire day fishing instead of catching.
The three big players in the marine electronics industry are Humminbird, Lowrance, and Garmin. These brands have built up the largest customer bases for a reason. They all provide exceptional performing products at the best prices. While there are certainly many other brands to choose from, we feel that these brands provide the best value to a majority of all anglers and applications. When looking for a new model for your application, please take the time to look at all the different units these companies have available and compare them against each other. Our goal is to help you find the fishfinder or gps combo unit which best fits your application for the best price possible.
Looking For a Standalone Fishfinder, GPS Combo Unit, or a Networked System?
With so many models available it can be difficult to make the right choice. In order to find the best value for your needs, you need to establish the type of fishfinder you want. This will help you decide what you are looking for and provides a nice starting point to start comparing the different models. All of these units have advantages and disadvantages, so it's really about finding a model that will provide all the features that you're looking for at the best price.
Standalone Sonar – This type of finder is pretty self explanatory. While it may not have GPS, it does boast the best value for pure sonar performance with a much larger viewing area. You can usually get an upgraded model compared to the more expensive combo units. Standalone units give you the most bang for your buck, but many users find themselves upgrading to a different model just a few years down the line. I would recommend this to anglers who routinely fish smaller inland lakes or are on a limited budget. On the other hand, if you have a larger boat that has room for multiple displays, this is hands down the way to go. Another tip is that many of these models offer expandability down the line if you wish. For example, if you decide to get purely the best standalone sonar with all of your budget, you could add a GPS receiver and make it into a combo unit if you choose to do so.
Fishfinder/GPS Combo – This is the most popular option for most anglers as it gives the most features and options for the best value. A combo fishfinder is much more affordable than purchasing 2 separate units and it provides the same technology and features of both. The addition of a GPS is a major upgrade and these units can help you locate fishing spots, buoys, wrecks, and most importantly get you home safely. Most models allow you view both GPS and sonar at the same time or just view the sonar in full screen. We will be reviewing alot of combo units as they seem to be the most popular and overall the best solution for a majority of anglers.
Networked Solution – If you're serious about your marine electronics, this is what you want! Essentially, this type of system "ties" together all of your electronic systems so they can all talk together. You can simply plug in or wire in a data source and all your other devices are capable of reading and displaying the data from the entire network. Cool Huh? This network can include sonar, gps, radar, video, XM radio, digital fuel flow gauges, etc. With many of the newer models you can download on app on your phone and control the whole system wirelessly. The best part about this type of solution is the ability to expand. Multiple-display or data systems are geared to larger fishing vessels or anglers who want the best.
What To Look For in a Fishfinder Display….Color? How Many Pixels? What About Size?
Should I Get Color? When looking at fishfinders, the display is one of the most important and prominent features. The most obvious decision is selecting a unit that is gray-scale or color. In my opinion, this option is purely based on budget. There is no doubt in my mind that color units provide a superior image in all different light conditions. That being said, color units are much more expensive and gray-scales provide similar performance at a fraction of the cost
How Many Pixels Should I Look For? Just like your television, the newer LCD screens are made up of pixels or small dots that form to make one high resolution image. You should always look closely to make sure the unit that you are considering has a high pixel count and thus more detail of the viewing images. Another factor when making this decision is if you will be using the same screen for multiple displays. If the unit has 640 horizontal pixels, you must remember that this will be cut in half when running a split-screen display. Anything over 480v X 480h will provide adequate resolution for a standalone fishfinder, but more pixels are needed when you move into the combo units and larger 7″+ units. Anything over 720p is considered High Definition (HD) and they provide an even bigger advantage to anglers simply because you can see in much more detail including thermoclines, baitballs, and fish sitting on the bottom.
What Size Screen Should I Buy? Screen Size is another major aspect which should be considered. I always recommend a 5″ screen at the minimum for permanent installations and then move up from there based on your needs and experience level. Most manufacturers measure the size of the screen diagonally. A trending feature is also the use of a widescreen display allowing you to see more and it also increases the picture quality of split screens displays. The quality of the larger screens can be significant even if the increase in size is only 2-3″.
How Much Transmit Power Should It Have? What Frequency Sonar is Best?
Power – Signal power or transmit power is one of the first and most important features I look at it when reviewing a fishfinder. Most brands have very similar features, but there is no replacement for raw sonar power. The signal power indicates the signal strength that the sonar is sending from the transducer. When looking for a transducer make sure to look at the Max Wattage in RMS and also the Peak to Peak (PTP) measurement. The RMS measures how much power it can consistently output while peak to peak measure total output. I always recommend to purchase the fishfinder with the largest power output that you can afford, but there are obviously some limitations. Look for at least 250W of RMS power and 3000W (Peak-to-Peak) for deeper water applications. If you only fish shallow water (<50ft), then most models provide sufficient power output. Remember that the more power output or signal power that your transducer has, the better the image and clarity on your sonar screen.
Sonar Frequency -There are many types of transducers, especially with new products like side and down imaging. With so many options available, its extremely important that you match the transducer to your application. The basic signal is either a 50 or 83 kHz beam with a 200 kHz shallow signal. Make sure to note whether your transducer is 50/200khz or just a single 200khz. If you are fishing deeper water you will need to have the 50khz for better viewing. Down and Side Imaging utilize a different type of sonar and therefore use different frequencies. While the major brands will clearly mark the transducer you are selecting, you should always double check. Some down imaging models don't come with the standard frequencies and require you to purchase another transducer. Make sure you know what you're buying!!

Auckland joins forces to help cyclone affected islands

Auckland joins forces to help cyclone affected islands
The Mayor has announced the establishment of an Auckland Relief Committee in the wake of Cyclone Evan with a Mayoral Relief Fund to be set up to assist in the rebuild over the coming months.
The announcement came at the conclusion of a Mayoral Forum involving Pacific community and church leaders, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFAT), Auckland Council staff including Civil Defence, and aid agencies to discuss the most appropriate support and assistance for the affected island nations.
"Auckland is the largest Pacific city in the world. Pacific Aucklanders have lost friends and family, and family and community property has been badly damaged. Auckland will do whatever it can to help as we identify the most effective way to assist," says Len Brown.
"We must work together on a coordinated and integrated multi-agency response, overseen and led by MFAT, so we can clearly identify the needs of the affected islands so each agency and group can respond in a way that reflects their expertise and resources."
"The advice to the forum was clear. Cash is king and that is the single best way Aucklanders can contribute to the immediate relief effort.
"Skilled people are needed to help with the relief and rebuild effort and volunteers are encouraged to come forward. MFAT will match offers with skills identified and requested by the Samoan government and aid agencies."
"The donation of goods is problematic unless materials like non-perishable food and water have been specifically asked for.
"One of the ways Auckland Council may be able to help is by sending skilled infrastructure staff to assist with the rebuild, whereas church and community networks and aid agencies will assist families and communities to identify if material goods are needed, what is best and where it needs to go."
Auckland Council Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel chair Reverend Uesifili Unasa says this was a very significant meeting for the Pacific communities in Auckland.
"Our Pacific people want to see a coordinated, cohesive and trustworthy process for the response to the affected islands. The Mayor's leadership in bringing this group together alongside government and other agencies will deliver an effective response."
An announcement will be made shortly on the make-up of the relief committee and how Aucklanders can donate to the Mayoral Relief Fund.
People interested in volunteering their skills should contact email email@example.com. MFAT will pass these offers on to Samoa to see if they can be linked to specific requests.

In one way -- a big way -- it would be difficult to call Andrew Rasiej's campaign for public advocate a success: He got five percent of the vote in the Democratic primary in September. Nobody was surprised, since he had no experience as a public official or even a candidate, his opponents were far better-known, and he built his entire campaign based on a single issue that many said has nothing to do with the office for which he was running. He said that there should be "a universal low-cost wireless Internet system for all New Yorkers," including free wireless service in public spaces.
On the other hand, the city recently announced plans to provide free wireless access in ten parks, including eight locations in Central Park. And New York City Councilmember Gale Brewer, head of the council's Technology in Government Committee, is taking up where Rasiej left off, pushing for a task force to figure out how to provide affordable broadband Internet access to every city resident, business and non-profit organization.
Both Rasiej and Brewer argue that increasing Internet connectivity is essential to improving the lives of city residents and to enhancing the city's economic competitiveness. A primary goal of Brewer's efforts is to reduce the cost of in-home broadband Internet access, so that more New Yorkers will take advantage of these capabilities.
Only an estimated 38 percent of New Yorkers currently have broadband access, but an ever-higher percentage of Internet content (such as video) requires this capability. The "digital divide" between higher and lower income communities may never be closed completely, but municipal broadband and wireless initiatives represent a concerted attempt to narrow this gap.
The city's broadband task force has not yet been formed. The Technology in Government Committee has held an initial hearing, and plans to hold a second hearing in November.
Many other US cities have charged similar task forces with providing direction for broadband/wireless development, including Los Angeles, Seattle, and Philadelphia.
Indeed Rasiej held up the "Wireless Philadelphia" initiative as his model. Philadelphia has moved more aggressively than any other US city to develop a city-wide wireless network. Using Philadelphia's business plan, Rasiej estimated that the cost of establishing a wireless network in New York is $80 million (PDF). In fact, though, Philadelphia did not even determine the vendor for its wireless network until early October, three weeks after Rasiej's campaign came to an end with the primary.
Philadelphia now has chosen Earthlink to build its network, and the company has offered to build and manage it at no cost to city residents. The city and Earthlink will share any revenues that emerge from the project. Search engine titan Google recently offered to construct a wireless network for San Francisco at no cost to the city. Similarly, Rasiej argues that private companies should pay the cost for building a wireless network in New York. Although it is too early to know whether all of these funding approaches will materialize, the early trend in municipal wireless development is for intensive private investment.
If private companies did not expect to make a profit from wireless networks, they would not want to build them. The most obvious source of revenue is new forms of advertising, which could conceivably be tailored to specific individuals based upon their Internet browsing patterns. There is a definite potential for a loss of personal privacy unless municipal broadband/wireless projects are carefully developed. Municipalities that undertake these projects should plan to develop educational campaigns about how to protect confidential information online.
Although privacy concerns are legitimate, they are not severe enough to prevent further broadband/wireless development in New York City. There are too many potential benefits for the city:
1. More timely access to life-saving information for emergency responders, who could download this information over wireless networks en route to the scene of an accident
2. Greater involvement of residents in the work of city government
3. Better ability of children to study at home, and to communicate with their teachers about what they discover online
As New York City embarks on a more comprehensive approach to broadband and wireless development, important questions remain unanswered, but there is little doubt that, sooner or later, one way or another, it's going to happen.

Puerto Rico's population is declining. Faced with a deteriorating economy, increased poverty and a swelling crime rate, many citizens are fleeing the island for the U.S. mainland. In a four-part series, Morning Edition explores this phenomenon, and how Puerto Rico's troubles are affecting its people and other Americans in unexpected ways.
Edward Bonet's mom no longer tries to convince him to join her in Florida. Unlike his family, the 23-year-old from Puerto Rico refuses to leave the island and its shattered economy.
With Puerto Rico's unemployment rate at 14 percent, many former residents like Edward's mom, Arlene Bonet, have left the island's economic and social troubles for better opportunities on the U.S. mainland.
"What kind of life can I give my grandchildren in the future if Puerto Rico, instead of going up, is going down?" says Arlene, who left after her real estate business died.
On the island, Edward works as a scuba instructor, trying to make a living for himself. Like many other young Puerto Ricans, he started college but couldn't afford to finish.
And though he briefly lived in Florida as a kid with his mom, Edward says he doesn't want to go back because it seems foreign. Puerto Rico may be a U.S. territory, but the move would feel like going to a new country as an immigrant, he says.
"In the U.S., at school we had to sing the national 'Star-Spangled Banner' every morning," he recalls. "And here, most schools don't do that at all."
A Love For The Island
One member of his ever-shrinking family still on the island is his grandmother, Genoveva Camacho, 74. He lives with her near the city of Cabo Rojo.
"My grandma, oh, she's great," Edward says when describing her. "She parties more than I do."
On a warm, breezy night, he sits with her on their patio listening to the chirps of coquis, or small frogs — a symbol of Puerto Rico.
Camacho is full of pride. She says she loves her island and used to go dancing with friends about every night. But today, she worries about escalating crime and paying her bills.
Her daughter, Arlene, urges Camacho to join her in Florida, but she insists she won't leave until she gets older. Then "save a room for me," Camacho tells her daughter when they speak on the phone.
As she talks about her daughter, Camacho chokes up until Edward dances with her under the porch light.
Puerto Rico's 'Informal Economy'
The failing economy may not be enough to keep Edward and his grandmother off the island, but it's a predicament that economists mull over time and again.
Rosario Rivera, an economics professor at the University of Puerto Rico, uses the phrase "informal economy" to diagnose some of the challenges facing the island.
At the Rio Piedras market in San Juan, Rivera picks up a juicy, sweet fruit for 25 cents, from a man with a shopping cart.
"That orange ... goes to the informal economy," Rivera explains.
Because those tax-free purchases are repeated so often, Rivera says the government is missing the chance to tax billions of dollars of income each year. Like many Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico has little industry of its own — and when times are bad, they struggle even more than other places to create jobs.
"There is a problem deep inside the economic structure, that you cannot create jobs," Rivera explains. "You cannot create productive activity, so you just have to rely on economic activity from abroad."
Around the market, men and women sell ice cream, discounted jewelry, perfumes and purses — yet most of the goods are imported and not made by anyone on the island. After a six-year recession, Puerto Rico is buried in debt.
Fiscally Similar To Greece
"They have compared us to Greece a lot of times," Rivera says. "Especially since Greece had a lot of debt, and they had to take these austerity measures. Even if we are part of the United States, we have a lot of problems that resemble those countries that we look at with such disdain."
Puerto Rico has been through austerity and made tough decisions: It's cut government jobs, privatized a couple of highways, and is in the process of privatizing the international airport.
But unlike the case of Greece, the economic mess is on America's hands.
For U.S. citizens on the mainland who have a 401(k) account or pension for retirement, it's possible that they have money invested in Puerto Rican bonds, which are now no longer worth much. So citizens in the states could feel the pain if Puerto Rico's economy collapses.
At the moment, though, Puerto Ricans left on the island are bearing the brunt of the economy, where fewer services and resources are available to people than before. With many educated people leaving the island, Rivera admits she's thought of moving to the mainland — but she won't do it.
"If you had asked me a few years ago, I would say no with capital letters — I won't leave the island. I'm here for the long haul," Rivera says. "And I am here for the long haul. But it gets tiresome."
Here are a few facts about Puerto Rico that might grab your attention. The unemployment rate is 14 percent - higher than anywhere else in the United States. The island had more murders last year per capita than Mexico. The economy is drawing comparisons to Greece.
People on that island who are American citizens are escaping all this, moving mostly to the U.S. mainland - people like Arlene Bonet.
ARLENE BONET: What kind of life I can give my grandchildren in the future if Puerto Rico, instead of going up, is going down?
GREENE: Arlene found work and a new life for herself in Florida. We met her there yesterday as we began a series looking at Puerto Rico's challenges. This morning, the family Arlene left behind.
GREENE: We're beginning here on the southern shore of the island. There are smaller cities here, smaller beach towns, and also an oceanside resort where we went to meet Arlene's son Edward where he works.
EDWARD BONET: The boat just got here. We're heading towards the dock now.
GREENE: Edward works here as a scuba instructor. He's 23 years old and his story is all too familiar on this island. He started college but couldn't afford to finish. He's trying to make a life for himself here, even as his family moves away. He and his mom do stay in touch. How often does she talk to you on the phone and say, Edward, you know you could move to Florida? You could come join me up here?
BONET: Well, when she moved out, each time we spoke on the phone, she always like try. But after a couple of times she just quit.
GREENE: One reason Edward is so determined to stay is because the mainland seems like such a foreign place, with different traditions and different routines. Edward tried it once. He and his mom lived briefly in Florida when he was a kid.
BONET: In the U.S. at school we had to sing the national "Star Spangled Banner" every morning. And here, most schools don't do it at all.
GREENE: You and I are both U.S. citizens. Do you feel that way? I mean, do you feel like a U.S. citizen?
BONET: Well, it's not that we are not - we don't feel like we're the U.S. It's like we feel we're part of them but we're not you.
GREENE: And yet at home in Puerto Rico, his family is shrinking. One person left on the island is his grandma, Veva. Edward lives with her and she relies on him now that her daughter's in Florida. Tell me a little bit about her.
BONET: Oh, my grandma, she's great. I mean she parties more than I do.
GREENE: Wow.
GREENE: She lives about 45 minutes away from where he works. It's near the city of Cabo Rojo. We drove past strip malls and we found a neighborhood of small houses. The patios where people sit and chat were behind metal gates.
BONET: Hola.
VEVA: (Spanish spoken)
GREENE: I'm glad we were able to find you. I hear you like going out at night.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: She loves dancing. She loves parties, and she loves casinos.
GREENE: Oh good. I like the casinos too. I'm not so good at the dancing. On a warm, breezy night, we sat down on her patio. Veva, who's 74, remembers a Puerto Rico when people had money to spend and the streets were safe enough for her to go out with friends whenever she wanted to. Today she worries about paying her bills and crime. Her family worries too and they want her to move to Florida with them.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Yes, they talk about it and she always says she's not going to leave, but when she gets older, save a room for me.
GREENE: Talking about this got her a little choked up but the smile was back when we asked her to show off her dance moves.
VEVA: (Spanish spoken)
GREENE: Grandma and grandson danced together for us right there under the porch light. And something about this scene said so much about Puerto Rico. This island, with its rich cultural heritage and music, pulls people to stay, even as other forces push them to leave. Now, this is just one family, but everywhere we went we heard stories like this, time and time again - families wondering if and when to go.
GREENE: We said goodbye to Veva's family and drove three hours north to the capital, San Juan. We wanted, among other things, to understand what is ailing the economy here. We went to the Rio Piedras Market to do a little shopping with Rosario Rivera. She's an economics professor at the University of Puerto Rico. Let's buy some fruit.
ROSARIO RIVERA: Fruit?
GREENE: Can we buy some fruit?
RIVERA: Yeah.
GREENE: She walked us past little stalls on the sidewalk that were selling clothing, DVDs. One man was selling oranges out of a shopping cart. He's actually peeling it for me.
RIVERA: Yep. That's classic.
GREENE: He's rotating and curling off the peel.
RIVERA: Yeah. Taste it.
GREENE: Oh, that's really good. Juicy.
RIVERA: Juicy and sweet.
GREENE: OK. So this delicious orange that we just bought out of...
RIVERA: For 25 cents.
GREENE: ...for 25 cents - what can I learn about the Puerto Rican economy from this delicious, juicy orange?
RIVERA: That orange that you bought for 25 cents goes to the informal economy.
GREENE: You don't get the sense that this guy is filling out his tax papers.
RIVERA: I don't think so.
GREENE: Informal economy - it's an important phrase when diagnosing the problems here. Like many Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico has little industry of its own, and when times are bad, they struggle even more than other places to create jobs. And so much of the economic activity is whatever's (unintelligible). This man's selling ice cream from a cart, people selling loads of discount jewelry, perfume, purses. The problem is, when people buy stuff in places like this, the government is missing out on taxing billions of dollars of income, which conjures up images of another place with a lot of sunshine and a lot of debt.
RIVERA: They have compared us to Greece a lot of times, especially since Greece had a lot of debt and they have to take these austerity measures. Even if we are part of the United States, we have a lot of problems that resemble those countries that we look with so much disdain.
GREENE: But something makes this place so different from Greece. Dealing with the economic mess is America's responsibility.
RIVERA: If we don't pay the debt, stuff is going to happen.
GREENE: And here's how it could affect you. Even if you've never been to Puerto Rico or even thought about it, Puerto Rico's government has issued government bonds, and if you've got a 401(k) or pension for retirement, chances are some of your money is invested in those bonds. They are now near junk status, and all this means you can feel the pain if Puerto Rico's economy collapses. At the moment, though, Professor Rivera says Puerto Ricans on this island are bearing the brunt of this.
RIVERA: So less and less services and less and less resources for the people.
GREENE: A lot of educated people are leaving. And I wonder, have you and your husband talked about leaving and going to the mainland?
RIVERA: Sadly, I have to say yes. If you asked me that a few years ago, I would say no with capital letters. I won't leave the island. I am here for the long haul. And I am here for the long haul, but it gets tiresome.
GREENE: That's Rosario Rivera. She's an economist. We're still at the Rio Piedras Market. I wanted to take you over here to this jewelry store. We heard about a shooting here just the other day. Crime, it is another big problem on this island, and another big reason a lot of people are leaving for the mainland. We'll pick up that conversation tomorrow right here at the market.

Thomas Menk is a Fine-art photographer based in Hachenburg, Germany.
Following quote by Dorothea Lange describes Thomas Menk's motive force in Photography with much apropos: "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."
Thomas: "I think photography is one way for me to slow down my time and feel again the slowness in a frantic world. What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that is gone forever, impossible to reproduce. My style is simple, reduced, straight and melancholy. I am mostly interested in urban landscape, landscape and travel photography. I like portrait shooting only in real settings not in a studio or clean mise-en-scène situation. I like image processing and the power of non-acceptance of my images :-)"
I shoot exclusively with the X-Pro1 and am amazed by the quality of the images and ease of use every time. Travelling light is an essential ingredient for successful travel or landscape photography. The X-trans image quality, low-light performance and lens sharpness combine to give me better photos than I have captured with any other camera. I love Fujifilm's rebellious philosophy to combine retro-design with cutting edge sensor performance. Photography should be fun and I think Fuji understand the core ideas of what the modern photographer wants in a camera.

World of Wine - The heart of Bavaria's wine growing is in Franconia
The renowned bocksbeutel-shaped wine bottle and prized top-quality wines enjoy worldwide fame. Connoisseurs love the distinctive flavour of Franconia's dry, fruity wines.
Grapes have been grown in the area as far back as the Roman era. The main growing areas for Franconian's world-famous red and white vines stretch from Aschaffenburg to Schweinfurt along the south-facing slopes of the valley of the River Main and its tributaries. Seven thousand Franconian vintners are currently producing some 500,000 hectolitres of wine per year, representing approximately six per cent of the total production across Germany's thirteen wine growing areas.

In the sprint to host his first St. Patrick's Day breakfast, Boston city councilor Bill Linehan has heard a parade of bad jokes. (The worst: "An Irish guy walks out of a bar. Yes, it is possible.")
Linehan has been reminded of the lessons learned at previous breakfasts. (The most important: Don't invite Guy Glodis, the former Worcester County sheriff whose boorish jokes offended the audience.)
Aspiring entertainers far and wide have offered Linehan their talents. (Perhaps the most un-Irish: state Senator Barry R. Finegold of Andover has offered to play a trumpet.)
Most important, Linehan has been reassured of his fallback if he freezes on stage. ("Just sing a song," Linehan said, recalling advice he received from previous hosts.)
This Sunday at 10 a.m., Linehan will step onto the largest stage of his life, presiding over the 2½-hour television production, one part political roast, one part variety show. An audience of 600 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center is expected to experience the annual rite, with thousands more watching a live television broadcast on NECN. The breakfast, which costs roughly $50,000 to produce, is underwritten by Suffolk Construction Co., Lincoln Property Co., and other sponsors.
The event has traditionally been hosted by the state senator representing South Boston, but this will mark the first time the job has been handed to a city councilor, which could become a new tradition or a one-time opportunity.
"I just want to get through it," Linehan said this week over eggs and French toast at Mul's Diner in South Boston. "I'm just a city councilor, not a statesman."
For the past 11 years, John A. Hart Jr. played emcee as the sitting state senator. But Hart resigned in January to take a job at a law firm, leaving his office and the breakfast behind.
"It's almost like the Oscars for our hometown," said Hart, who recalled the first time he played host, in 2002. "I was probably as nervous as I've ever been in my entire life. I remember being in the anteroom at the Iron Workers hall saying to my wife, 'Holy cow, how are we going to pull this off?' "
Hart learned to listen for bits of humor over the course of the year and scribble jokes on paper he tucked into a file for St. Patrick's Day. Hart said his mother always fretted that her son was not funny, so she clipped anecdotes for him from Reader's Digest.
Linehan issued a press release asking constituents to contribute jokes. They responded with 50 to 75 zingers. Two of the jokes may make the show.
He has also sought counsel from friends such as John M. Tobin Jr., a former city councilor who has run comedy clubs. Tobin has often cringed at the breakfast, watching as seasoned politicians shook at the knees with nervousness as they butchered jokes on live TV. Others have made the mistake, Tobin said, of delivering an "11 p.m. nightclub act at 11 a.m. in front of clergy."
"But Billy's been on stage before, and I don't just mean in a ward committee debate," Tobin said. "The guy can sing, I mean really sing."
Linehan, 62, grew up the oldest of eight in South Boston in a home steeped in music. His grandfather was a stoic, sober man whose stiff affect melted when he stood at family parties to sing, mesmerizing his kin with his tenor. The city councilor's mother, Edie Linehan, sang in minstrel shows and attended The Boston Conservatory. The children were expected to do more than listen.
"At age 4 or 5," Linehan said, "we were thrown up on a chair and expected to entertain."
He still sings Irish ballads and plays rock 'n' roll riffs as a guitarist in the family band, the Linehan Brothers. As a boy, Linehan sat on the curb in South Boston and watched St. Patrick's Day parades go by that included local heroes such President Kennedy and longtime US House Speaker John W. McCormack.
He caught his first glimpse of the breakfast in 1967, when as a 16-year-old, he squeezed into the Captain's Room on the second floor of Dorgan's restaurant. Linehan was working for Michael F. Flaherty Sr. What he saw was a much more informal affair, more of a gathering for politicians before the parade than the variety show it has become today.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino cautioned the rookie host not to be intimidated by the Southie lore surrounding the breakfast. Menino urged him to make it his own, Linehan said.
"He said, 'Bill, you have an image of what this is supposed to be, but just be Bill Linehan. That will carry it.' "Andrew Ryan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com Follow him on Twitter @globeandrewryan.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. – Nine weeks after Superstorm Sandy sent them fleeing, residents of some of the hardest-hit parts of the New Jersey shore can go home again.
Authorities let residents move back home permanently Monday in Seaside Heights, as well as parts of Toms River and Brick.
Few have returned. Vast stretches of each town are still deserted as homeowners struggle to gut and repair flood-damaged homes. But those who moved back in say there's no place like home.
Tony Vaz, a Seaside Heights councilman, still can't stay in his own home, which was flooded. He rented a condominium, and is looking forward to little things like a convenience store opening nearby so people can buy coffee and cigarettes.
Guy Mazzanti described the feeling of being home as "paradise."
