West Miami resident Mary Ellen Mykytka, 52, faced a challenge recuperating in rehab after knee surgery last year.
But one person motivated her to get up — her 90-year-old father and World War II veteran Teodore Mykytka.
"He is an inspiration," she said. "I had knee surgery and I saw him walking. In my mind, I had to get up because he would get up."
On July 6, Mykytka, originally from New Jersey, received a certificate of recognition on his 90th birthday and for his service to the United States Army. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge during the war. He has lived in West Miami since 1949 just a short time after it was incorporated in 1947.
"There were pine trees all around here," he recalled. "My wife thought we were moving into the wilderness, but as development went on everyone made friends."
His wife, Ann, passed away in 1999. They were married for more than 50 years and had four children. He remembers his wife putting a down payment of $5 for the house they currently live in. He credits the military life for his longevity.
"The secret is the army life because of the regimen and the food is good," he said.
He was in the service for 12 years and in the reserves for 29 years. He retired at 60 as he also worked in civil affairs. The University of Miami architectural engineering grad was surprised to learn of his recognition.
His daughter made him attend a recent budget meeting, where he was surprised to see his family at City Hall and later received the honor.
"I feel honorable," said Teodore Mykytka, who last attended a meeting about two years ago. "I didn't know anything at all. They told me there was going to be a budget meeting."
Mary Ellen, who has a tattoo of her father's rank in the army, knew of his recognition for more than a month.
"I started to cry," she said. "I felt shaky and I was excited."
Although he retired at 60 years old, Teodore Mykytka doesn't believe he was ready to hang up his boots.
"I would have kept going," he said.

Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.
In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth - a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn.
Reviewed by: Mary
I was very excited for the fourth book in the Percy Jackson series because it was focused on one of my favorite myths – Daedalus, Icarus, and the Labyrinth. In most of the previous books, the stories Riordan is updating are done with a modern and sarcastic twist. While the sarcasm is still present in this book, he actually goes to a deeper and darker place this time and really lays the groundwork for an epic final battle in book five.
When Percy and Annabeth discover an entrance to Daedalus' labyrinth at Camp Half-Blood, they realize that their defenses are weaker than they imagined and the army of Kronos could march right to their door. Anna beth finally gets her own quest – find Ariadne's String and solve the Labyrinth before Luke can. Annabeth's need to please others and be successful is on full display and it really deepens her character.
During their quest, the group also meets Hephaestus, another of my favorites. When he sends them to investigate his force at Mount St. Helens and of course everything goes wrong and Percy ends up nearly killed and stranded on Calypso's Island. The scenes with Calypso are some of the best that Riordan has written so far, and they very clearly bring home many of the themes and emotions that he has been building – the complicated nature of family, the stubbornness of the gods in their old ways, and how this war is about echoes of the old war.
Riordan also uses Antaeus, a monster at the center of the Labyrinth and another son of Poseidon to make a point about how the actions done in a gods name are not always what they wanted, and it works well here though it's a bit gruesome. But it's a point that the books needed to address, and Riordan doesn't shy away.
We also get to see the end to Grover's search for Pan, a scene that definitely made me tear up. Plus there is the return of Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades, who spends the entire book being an idiot but I guess somebody has to. Plus we bring in Rachel Dare, a mortal Percy ran into on his last quest who may be the key to saving this one.
The book is full of bittersweet moments, and a strengthening of the deep bonds between the main characters. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are getting older and wiser and it works. I was both sad and excited to be nearing the end of their adventures.

The story is fascinating and well-written. Florida, mon amour! has a truly original plot and the congruence of several foreign cultures and languages throughout the novel gives it a global panache. Mr. Mengibar has in effect broken the well-worn mold of the crime fiction and unrequited loves while showing us love in its various forms even the fake kind seasoned with unremitting greed. Florida, mon amour!, December 26, 2005 Reviewer: S. Bell qorange guyq (New York, NY) Florida, mon amour! is defintely not about Florida alone. It is about the United States, Spain, Sounth America, France and England. The convergence of their cultures and languages in this well-knit story gives it a fascinating glow of genuine originality and globality. It is difficult to put it down or to stop turning its pages as one is always expecting to find more titillating scenarios and peculiar situations. Love, death, greed, deception and an approriate denouement makes Florida, mon amour! one of the best novels I have read in recent years.

NORWICH A 23-year-old man charged with murdering his friend at a Sherburne apartment complex appeared in Chenango County Court for the first time Thursday.
Joshua T. Story and his attorney Public Defender Alan E. Gordon appeared before Supreme Court Justice Kevin M. Dowd to make a request for bail. Story has been held without bail since his arrest Feb. 23. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of killing his friend, Kallin P. Richards, 24, of New Berlin.
District Attorney Joseph McBride objected to the request, saying, We ask this defendant be remanded without bail, your honor. He is not from our area; hes from Tennessee. He has every reason to flee in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison.
Gordon said his client did not have a serious criminal record, minor offenses in his past, underage drinking I believe, something like that, something minimal.
Dowd ordered Storys bail set at $50,000. Story remains in jail this morning.

Two men were being questioned today in connection with the kidnapping of an East Side woman last week.
The two have been charged with gun violations unrelated to the kidnapping, but police said the arrests came as part of their investigation into the kidnapping and that the two were seen at the spot of the ransom drop. The Tribune is not naming them because they have not been charged in the kidnapping.
WGN-Ch. 9 reported that the pair was arrested when they came to pick up the ransom.
Alejandra Rubio, 21, was reported missing last week by her family after she failed to return home from her fast-food job downtown, police said. Rubio's family called police after they received a call demanding a ransom for her return, police said.

How to Bake a Plantain or a Banana
Plantains and bananas both belong to the same genus, Musa. Although they share many similarities, they are used in very different ways. Plantains have tough skins and are starchier and less sweet than bananas, making them perfect for savory dishes. Bananas have thinner skins that are easy to peel. They can be cooked, but more often bananas are eaten raw. Depending on your mood -- and your menu -- you can bake a plantain or a banana for a savory side or sweet treat.
Video of the Day
Baking Plantains
Step 1
Cut off the tops and ends of the plantains.
Step 2
Run the tip of the knife along the skin, being careful not to cut through the flesh.
Step 3
Peel the skin off the plantains.
Step 4
Thinly slice the plantains, making sure each slice is the same size so that they will cook evenly.
Step 5
Toss the slices with 2 tbsp. of the canola oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Bake in an oven set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy, about 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the plantain pieces halfway through so that each side becomes golden brown.
Baking Bananas
Step 1
Cut the bananas in half lengthwise, leaving the skin on.
Step 2
Place the bananas, skin side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each half with brown sugar and chopped walnuts.
Step 3
Bake the bananas in an oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit until soft, but not falling apart. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Columbia, SC police have three women in custody for ganging up on a 20-year-old woman two weeks ago alongside a local river, according to a report by WLOX.
Arlinda Craft, 18, Anns Leigh Hill, 19, and Megan Williams, 20, are all charged with Second Degree Assault and Battery by a Mob after police say they attacked another woman.
According to the police report, the victim was sitting by the river with a co-worker when a group of girls attacked her. The report states one of the attackers pulled the victim by her hair before throwing her to the rocky ground. It also says members of the mob slapped her, pinned her down and repeatedly beat her, while unknown men recorded the beatdown on camera.
The victim was treated for serious injuries, including a concussion and lacerations.
"One's kicking her, and she's completely helpless. It's just really hard to watch," friend of the victim Ramy Williams said. "The other one was just wailing on her face, wailing on her head, you know, on the back of her head. It definitely could have killed her."
The victim is reportedly doing better physically, but not emotionally.
She said the attack on her was unprovoked, but she knows who the suspects are. The report says they have had problems in the past.

Gingerbread house contest
By Becky Barclay
Published in News on October 30, 2013 1:46 PM
A lighthouse, a birdhouse, the park house at Herman Park -- the Arts Council of Wayne County has seen it all during its annual Gingerbread House contest.
The Arts Council will be taking entries for the eighth annual contest Nov. 22 and 23 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 102 N. John St.
They will be judged Nov. 25, and will be on display through Dec. 21.
The entry fee is $10 per gingerbread house.
This year's categories are ages 6 through 10, ages 11 through 17 and adults 18 and older. Professionals may also enter, but there is no prize for this category.
There is also a team category. The team's award will be based on the age of the oldest team member.
For children, first-, second- and third-place winners will receive a ribbon and an art supply kit.
For adults, first place will receive a $200 cash award, second place a $50 cash award and third place a $25 cash award, in addition to ribbons.
Creations don't have to be houses, though. They can be barns, churches, castles or other structures.
The walls must be made of gingerbread and everything in the scene must be edible.
Adults cannot use a kit or store-bought gingerbread house. Children may use a kit, but no pre-constructed, store-bought gingerbread house.
The creations may be for sale, but don't have to be. The Arts Council will receive 35 percent of the sales.
There are usually between 20 and 30 entries each year, most of those being children.
"We'd like to see more adult and team entries," said Arts Council director Sarah Merritt. "We've had all kinds of cool creations. I don't enter the contest, but one year I made a gingerbread VW bus complete with little gingerbread people inside it."
The contest originally started as a fun way to celebrate the holidays and as a fun holiday destination for people as they walk through the display, Mrs. Merritt said.
"Start your mixers and get your thinking caps on and start planning and creating a fabulous gingerbread house," Mrs. said.
For more information about entering the gingerbread house contest, call the Arts Council at 919-736-3300.

Yarnia Inspired Angels: Making the Quilted AngelSubmitted by Pam on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 17:44
I have been holding on to every last scrap of this sparkly star fabric and using it for only very special projects! It is impossible to show, but the fabric has millions and millions of shiny silver bits embedded in the fabric which wink and sparkle constantly.
Not being a quilter nor having ever gotten the hang of free motion quilting, my efforts to create a quilted wing will probably not astound and amaze you! But the end result is working nicely and the wings sparkle at me every time I walk by!
Great Way to Use Kitty Litter Before Your Cat Does.Submitted by Pam on Wed, 08/03/2011 - 02:13
Several of our "rock hound" friends, have a box of kitty litter sitting near their cutting and grinding equipment. It's sole purpose - to remove the oil residue that remains on the stones after the stones have been cut into slabs or cabochons.
It just naturally occurred to me one day that if kitty litter does such an efficient job of removing all traces of smelly oil from the surface of cut stones, it might be a great material for drying flowers!

I've never met someone who loves the peanut butter-chocolate combination as much as this boy does. For Valentine's Day, I sent him a 1-pound peanut butter cup, and when the company failed to deliver it by the holiday they sent him another one for free. He hadn't even opened the second one, so we chopped it up and used it in these bars.
Just as Averie describes in her post, this recipe is super easy. The cookie dough base and the "crumble" on top are made from the same batter, and the filling is just chopped pb cups and sweetened condensed milk, which makes them melt-in-your-mouth gooey. Also, as per her instructions, make sure to let these bars sit for at least three hours after baking. While it's tempting to dig right in, the soft center needs to set before cutting.
If your significant other/friends are anything like mine, these will be gone within the day. This recipe only made around 16 bars (which seems like a lot but really isn't when they're being eaten by six people) so I would suggest doubling it and baking them in a 9x13 inch pan.
My favorite helper, trying (unsuccessfully) to talk and chew. You can find this recipe in the link at the top of the post!

Jessy Belle relishes the step-up to 2000 metres to return to winning form in the 2016 Matriarch Stakes at Flemington this afternoon.
Jessy Belle went into the Matriarch Stakes as an outsider following her plain effort behind Sort After on Melbourne Cup Day, but she was able to turn-the-tables on her rival with a fast-finishing win in the Matriarch Stakes.
Jockey Craig Williams timed his run to perfection on Jessy Belle and he revealed after the race that he always planned to ride the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar quietly in order to ensure she would run out a strong 2000 metres.
"The instructions were pretty simple – we had to ride her to get the trip," Williams said.
"It was her first time at it and she gave me a beautiful ride.
"A lot of horses were very keen and responded very really.
"This is my third win on her, she has been a very good mare to me."
Co-trainer Tom Dabernig said after the race that it was on the instructions of the owners of Jessy Belle that the stable elected to back her up in the Matriarch Stakes this afternoon and he was thrilled to see the six-year-old claim her first win since joining the Lindsay Park team.
Like Williams, Dabernig said that holding Jessy Belle up as long as possible would be crucial to her winning chances and he was pleased that the gamble to run her over 2000 metres had paid off.
"She has actually been racing well," Dabernig said.
"It was her first time ever at the distance and after she ran during the week I spoke to the owners and they mentioned can we make sure that we back her up on the Saturday.
"She pulled up really well and today we were mindful to ride her really cold.
"She really appreciated that.
"We started her in blinkers then we went to winkers and today we ended up with no gear on.
"William Buick was down to ride her, but he couldn't ride the weight and it was a pick-up ride for Craig Williams.
"I am really thrilled for all the connections and she has done a great job here.
"It is a huge result and a big win for her future as a broodmare."
Sort After kicked away and looked like the winner at the 200 metre mark, but she ran out of steam late while Happy Hannah savaged the line in the final stages of the race to finish third.

That's why we leave the hacking to the hackers. Just a couple days ago, Photo Hack Day 2013 brought the best of them to a 24-hour hackathon in Berlin.
Last time, we told you all about Helmut, the fastest film scanner in the world, before it was even released.
In this edition, you'll find out about all the raddest new photo apps thought up by clever young developers.
We're talking apps that'll teach your cat to shoot selfies and apps that turn your photos into spectacular light shows. Hackers were cool in 1995, but we think they're even cooler in 2013!
The Best from Photo Hack Day 2013
p.s. Our pals at Inkling (they make rad photography how-to eBooks) are dropping knowledge with a free chapter on any topic you dig. Check 'em out here.
Snapcat: Teach Your Cat to Take Selfies
Pluck the "h" out of Snapchat, and you've got Snapcat, "the very first social photo sharing app just for cats."
Place your cat before your phone, and he/she will follow the icon on your screen. When they "catch" the icon with their (adorable little) paw, it'll snap a photo!
This app doesn't just teach your cat to shoot photos. It'll teach them to shoot self-portraits.
Snapcat's already out on Android, and you can try it in your browser, too. (Heads up, you'll need an EyeEm account to log in).
TIP: Humans can play this game, too. We tested how cat-like our skills were. Turns out they weren't all that cat-like, but we still had fun.
ALSO SEE: Cat scans.
DIGITALANALOG: GIFs Shot onto Polaroids
What's the analog version of a GIF?
Flipbooks are cool, but DIGITALANALOG figured another way to hack a GIF into a tangible object.
They used the Impossible Project's Instant Lab, a device that lets you expose phone photos onto instant film (aka a polaroid). They let the GIF play from their phone screen exposing each image from the GIF onto the film.
The instant print ends up looking like a sweet multiple exposure! With the right kinds of GIFs, you can come up with all kinds of clever photo overlays. Check out all the photos.
(Also check out the bottle cap iPhone camera filter they made from a bottle cap!)
TIP: Try another version of the same idea by photographing a long exposure of your computer screen as a GIF or video plays.
Ambeer: A nightlight from your photos
This hack is about as close to an indoor rainbow as a photo slideshow can get.
Ambeer analyzes your photos and extracts the most prominent colors to turn them into a beautiful light show via a lighting attachment that connects via USB.
It's kind of like viewing the mood behind your photo — no image, just lovely colors.
Keep an eye out for this app as it's in the process of getting ready for both Android and iOS (and your desktop, too!).
TIP: Turn your photos into light by crafting a DIY photo light sphere.
Photoration: Finding the Best Photo Spots
Do you ever just stare at your phone and think whatdoitakeofaphotonow?! Us, too.
Even if that isn't a problem you run into, you'll dig Photoration for the same reason we do. It helps you find the best shooting spots for a specific location you're visiting.
The way it works is by showing you photos that have been shot at that place. When you find a favorite view, click on the photo, and it'll show you on a map where to stand to get that same view.
You can play with it here.
TIP: Read about how these guys came up with the idea and built the app all in 24 hours.
Sightstep: Postcard Recognition
This app beholds Wachowski-level hacker magic.
Say you're visiting a city, and you see postcards of different sites — but you have no idea where they are or how to get to them! Shoot a photo of a postcard, and Sightstep will use image recognition (think Google Reverse Image Search) to figure out *where* the photo was shot.
It then shows you directions on how to get to it in Google Maps, so you can hop over and get a photo of it yourself.
TIP: If you're a postcard fiend, check out our tutorial for making the world's smallest postcard.
Pickle: Let Photos Do the Translating
Pickle inspires us to pen poetic lines. Something like Photography is the true universal language.
Why? This fun little Chrome browser extension translates foreign words for you by showing you photos of that word.
All you have to do is highlight the word, and images representing that word pop up at the bottom of your window. Visual learners will appreciate this one!
TIP: Meet the (almost) opposite of Pickle. Unphotographable! Written accounts of the photos that got away.

Maggie disagrees
Some of the family went to the Museum Of Science and Technology today where they saw a travelling exhibit called Food for Health. Food for Health seems to be a production of the Canadian government in defense of industrial agriculture. Spoiler alert: it's for your safety. It included a video showing battery hens which explained that the caging supported the hens' natural instincts to gather closely together, while protecting them from weather and predators. One might assume from this that they enjoy the controlled climate, lack of coyotes, and the close company of 20,000 or so of their closest friends.
I didn't think so, Maggie.

How The Battle Of The Five Armies Should Have Ended (feat. Screen Junkies)
{ 0 comments }
We now have our first full-length trailer for the second part of director Peter Jackson's retelling of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit which promises two things we didn't get in the first film – barrels and Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch). Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Graham McTavish, Ken Stott, Aidan Turner, Dean O'Gorman, Mark Hadlow, Adam Brown, John Callen, William Kircher, Peter Hambleton, James Nesbitt, and Stephen Hunter all return. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens in theaters on December 13th.
{ 0 comments }
That's quite a bit of nitpicking (although much of it justly deserved), but this video is worth watching for the use of "Yakety Sax" (around the 2:00 mark) to speed up the endless walking Jackson's Middle Earth films are known for.

It's a dollhouse replica of the Baggins home from the movie! Sure, you'll still get beaten up for playing with this dollhouse, but for a totally different reason than when that kid Chet caught you playing with your sister's Barbies.

Unfortunately, I don't much care for Lord of the Rings, so I can't pull out any of the witty, snarky references such a masterpiece so desperately deserves. I am shamed.

Jennifer Carpenter is an American actress. She is best known for playing Deb on the hit TV series, "Dexter," as well as for her roles in films such as "Quarantine" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
Jennifer Leann Carpenter was born on December 7, 1979 in Louisville, Kentucky to parents Catherine Mitchell and Robert Carpenter. As a child, she first attended school at St. Raphael the Archangel, and then Sacred Heart Academy. Her love of acting was evident even by this time, as she was cast as Tiny Tim in her hometown's annual "Dickens on Main Street" festival at the tender age of eight. During her last two years of high school, she began studying drama with the Walden Theatre Conservatory program. It was this experience which lead her to enroll at New York City's Juilliard School. Before she even graduated, she was cast in her first Broadway play, The Crucible, in 2002. The play also starred veteran actors Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.
From her days on Broadway, Jennifer began to land small roles in films such as "D.E.B.S." and "White Chicks." It wasn't until 2005 that she first attracted critical attention for her title role in the horror, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." Soon after this, she was cast as Debra Morgan on the hit Showtime series, "Dexter," which she went on to play for eight seasons. Some of Jennifer's other popular roles included the main character in the horror film, "Quarantine," as well as a recurring role as a voice actress on the children's TV series, "Pound Puppies." She also starred alongside the likes of Woody Harrelson and Charlize Theron in 2007's "Battle in Seattle."
During her time on "Dexter," she met her soon-to-be husband, Michael C. Hall. The two wed in California on New Year's Eve in 2008. Unfortunately, the couple divorced in December 2011, but remained good friends, and continued to work together on "Dexter."

As I already mentioned, my mother's hometown is in Salento, the southernmost part of Puglia, which is the easternmost part of Italy, in the South.
I could bore you for ages about the history and the geography of this region, and the impact that both have had on Salento, but this is a food & travel blog, so let's first address the most important issue: what do you eat in Salento?
Historically, Puglia is a land of farmers who were working the vast estates of a few rich landowners. They were growing wheat, mainly, so that Puglia was famous for being the granary of Italy.
Therefore it is not surprising that the traditional food of Puglia is not opulent.
Wheat flour is found in pasta and other oven products: friselle and taralli, and bread, of course, it's made with durum wheat and it's called puccia: There are also small puccia breads with olives and/or tomatoes, the puccelle. Barley flour was an economic alternative to wheat's, and it is still very common.
You will have to drive just a few miles into the curvy country roads to find yourelf among fields of olive trees as far as your eye can see. EVO from Puglia has a very decided taste, and it is used to preserve the many bounties of this land: to name a few, bitter lampascioni, wild paparine, briny critimi.
Livestock here means sheeps and goat, and traditional cheeses, such as hard cacioricotta, are made with these milks.
As for meats, other that sheep, Salento has a tradition with horseflesh, as horses were eaten, when they got too old to work in the fields. Offal are common, as the precious cuts of meat were for the wealthy and the noble.
Then, being a peninsula, also fish is present: mainly oily fish, whose value has now been revaluated, after being snobbed for centuries by the well-off classes.
Typical cuisine from Salento reflects all this.
As a starter, you can try the pittule, deep-fried small balls of bread dough. They may contain small bits of other ingredients, savoury or sweet, depending on the time of year.
As a first course, you may choose between ciceri e tria (handmade tagliatelle with chickpeas, the pasta is half boiled half fried), or sagne 'ncannulate with ricotta forte (I showed them here) or orecchiette con le brasciole (orecchiette pasta with roulades and the tomato sauce where roulades have been cooked). If you visit in wintertime, you can find orecchiette with cime di rapa (famous in the USA as broccoli rabe) and fave e cicoria (fava beans puree with a variety of hickory).
As a main dish, tajeddha (an oven baked dish of rice, potatoes and mussels); polpo alla pignata (octopus), pezzetti di cavallo al sugo (horseflesh stew), brasciole (roulades) in tomato sauce; turcinieddhi (lamb offal roulades, on the grill).
Dessert are strongly influenced by the different dominations, especially from Turkey: almond paste is a classic, even if it's not an ingredient of the iconic pasticciotto.
What to do other than stuffing oneself?
Salento is very convenient, because it has two coasts with opposite characteristics: rocks and cliffs on the Adriatic coast and white beaches on the Ionian coast. There is something for everyone, and if you change your mind… Salento is just 53 km wide!
I like rocks, so for me it's the Adriatic!
My favourite spot is called Frassanito, which is actually a rocky beach! I spent all my youth summers on the rocks of Torre Sant'Andrea, and a few years ago I discovered Baia dei Turchi (called so because it is said to be the bay where the Ottomans landed ashore in 1480). Other popular spots include Roca, with its Ancient Rome diggings and the only actual beaches in this area: Torre dell'Orso, Alimini and Acquachiara.
On the Ionian sea, in recent years the so-called "Salento's Maldives" in Pescoluse have become hugely popular… I went to give a look, and was not impressed. There is plenty of gorgeous beaches: Punta Prosciutto up north, Baia Verde and even the big Torre San Giovanni beach, just south of Gallipoli.
Even on this side it is possible to find rocks, anyway: I love Punta Suina and Porto Selvaggio.
Wherever you go, in the summer months you'll find hundreds of people, and minimum beach facilities, so brace yourself and go june or September: the weather is every bit as good as july or august, but the crowds are not there. Plus you get off-seasons prices.
And if the weather is not good, or when you get bored by the seaside, there's plenty of day-trips.
In my opinion, the only attraction where you want to pay the admission is the Museum of the Roman Theatre. The Castle is not really interesting, besides it has been used as a garrison for the Carabinieri for decades and I don't know if restoration works have been conducted recently.
The beauty of Lecce lies in the golden colour of the stone that all of the city centre is made of. The many churches, from the cathedral, Santa Croce, to Santa Chiara and Sant'Irene are in the Barocco Leccese style, a very richly ornated style made possible by the softness of the stone, a tuff that has been shaped by man and reshaped by time, often with conflicting, fascinating outcomes.
In Lecce you will want to sample all the specialties from the territory. These are good picks:
Cucina casereccia (known as "Le zie", the aunts) via colonnello A. Costadura 19, tel. 0832 245178. Inside what once was an apartment, this place should be your first choice. Taste everything if you can, you cannot choose wrong. The place is very small, and very famous… reservation mandatory.
Alle due corti, corte dei giugni 1, tel 0832-242223. Reservation recommended, otherwise the wait can be long, especially in summer. The place to try ciceri e tria or fave e cicoria. Remarkable wine list.
Osteria degli spiriti, Via Cesare Battisti 4 tel. 0832 246274; a little more elegant in the setting.
Trattoria Nonna Tetti, Piazzetta Regina Maria, tel 0832-246036. Very rustic place, and very low prices: I have to admit that it's been many years since my last visit, but when they'd just opened I really liked their take on octopus and the horsemeat stew.
In Lecce, it never gets so cold that an ice-cream is ruled out. You want to get to Natale, Via Trinchese 7, tel 0832.256060. Just off the big square with the Roman Amphitheatre, Piazza Sant'Oronzo. You get yourself also the pasticciotti for tomorrow's breakfast, trust me.
The contendent for the best pasticciotti in town is nearby Caffè Alvino, Piazza Sant'Oronzo, 30.
And as no italian lunch/dinner would be complete without coffee, you go on along via Trinchese until it meets with via XXV Luglio: Bar Avio is at number 16.
When you are done with the restaurants Lecce, drive a few miles on the tangenziale going south, and exit for CAVALLINO. Highly recommendeOsteria del Pozzo Vecchio, Via M. Silvestro 16, tel. 0832 611649.
Here are some of the culinary wonders I ate there.
In GALATINA, 30 km south of Lecce, the Church of Santa Caterina di Alessandria is Salento's answer to Giotto. It is amazing, and I often wonder how come it is not as famous. After the visit, a good restaurant is Anima & Cuore, Corso Garibaldi 7, tel 0836.564301. If you eat outside, make sure you turn your back on the eyesore… you'll know when you'll see it).
My advice: call ahead to check opening hours, especially in the summer months. Brace yourself for the service that won't be neither fast nor impeccable. Sip that glass of good wine, and wait patiently.
Otranto is a picturesque town on the Adriatic Sea, very close to the most easterly point of Italian mainland. The visit should comprise at least:
1) the cathedral and its mosaic pavement by prete Pantaleone, deservedly mentioned in all art manuals as the most comprehensive summary of the medieval conception of the world. Facing the altar, the right nave will take you to the moving Chapel of the 800 Martyrs. You can read about them here or in a novel by Maria Corti, very recommended.
2) the small Bizantine church of San Pietro, which may be hard to find, and also to find it open!
3) the castle, made famous by the first gothic novel of the history of literature: "The castle of Otranto" by Sir Horace Walpole, short and also a great beach read!
Beware: in the summer evenings, the crowd in the narrow alley of Otranto will have you long for your mall on Black Friday. Avoid at all cost.
In Otranto it's time for some seafood, and you will go to Da Sergio, corso Garibaldi 9, 0836-801408; reservation highly recommended, especially as there are not alternatives in town. Service is very present, if not speedy, but they know how to pamper you while you wait. Fish freely for the menu. Remarkable wine list.
From Otranto to Leuca, other stops are: SANTA CESAREA TERME, famous for the thermal baths and for its villas in eclectic style, the most famous is Villa Sticchi.
Slightly to the interior, close to POGGIARDO there is an interesting cave church in Bizantine style, chiesa dei santi Stefani.
In CASTRO MARINA, the grotto called la Zinzulusa is the local highlight.
SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA it's the tip of the peninsula, and not much else. But once one has gone this far, the reward is dinner in PATÙ, in the restaurant La rua de li travaj, Via Cavallotti 44 (close to Piazza Indipendenza), tel. 349.0584531. Highly recommended.
The old part of Gallipoli, enclosed in its bastion on the sea, is well worth a morning. Arriving early, very early, the fish market in piazza della Dogana is fun to see.
Instead, to enjoy the many bars and clubs that have sprout on the bastions, you have to arrive for the aperitivo or after dinner. Right, and for dinner?
Also in Gallipoli it's seafood, and there are two options:
La Puritate, via Sant'Elia 18, tel. 0833264205. By the beach of the same name, it's an established restaurant with no thrills and no frills, but a solid seafood knowledge.
Angolo Blu, via Carlo Muzio 45, tel 0833261500. What annoys me most of this restaurant is that they do two rigorous shifts for dinner, as Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, safe that they're not Gordon Ramsay! I prefer restaurants that try and please the client, even if he wants to book outside of their comfort shift-zone. That said, food is great, and the waiter didn't even flinch when we asked for something that was outside menu.
PORTO CESAREO is a small, charming fishing village. I used to go to U cannizzu, Piazza Nazario Sauro, 11, tel 0833 560335. It's been a long time since my last time… but I remember this antipasto very well!
As Salento has become very popular as a destination in the past 10 years, so its wines have also become very popular, and you can find people raving about Salento's varietals (primitivo, negramaro…) all around Italy. In Salento, we have one DOCG, a number of DOCs and also one IGT.
Leone de Castris
The winery that invented rosé wine, in the immediate aftermath of WWII with the famous Five Roses.
I used to buy: "Five Roses" (in both regular version, and "anniversario"), "Salice Salentino" (red), "Messapia" (white Salento's varietal verdeca, barrique) and "Elo Veni" (red, negroamaro), sometimes a bottle of red Donna Lisa rosso. I also like their sweet wine, "Negrino" (aleatico).
Via A. Diaz 46 – San Donaci (BR) tel. 0831 635674.
I used to buy: "Le pozzelle" (rosé, my favourite), "Cappello di prete" (red, negramaro, great value for money) and at least one bottle of "Duca d'Aragona" each year. They too produce one sweet aleatico.
Conti Zecca
Via Cesarea – Leverano tel. 0832.925613
I used to buy: "Nero", "Cantalupi Rierva" (red, salice salentino) and the monovarietal "Primitivo".
Via Tuturano, 21 – San Donaci (BR), tel. 0831 635073
I used to buy: "Limitone dei Greci" (red, salice salentino), "Orfeo" (red, negramaro) and "Fiore di vigna" (red, primitivo)
S.P. 365 (Salice Salentino – Sandonaci) Km 1 Guagnano (LE); tel. 0832 705010
I used to buy a bottle of "Teresa Manara" (red, negraoamaro).
If wine is not souvenir enough, and you prefer chocolate, in Lecce there is Maglio, via Templari 1. I'm usually very picky with dark chocolate and I'm always dissatisfied with milk chocolate. Not in this place, where everything is perfect. The production is seasonal, the shop itself looks like a jewellery, and even the packaging is classy. It's art applied to chocolate. I especially recommend dry figs coated in chocolate or the candied orange zests, coated in chocolate as well.
To buy olive oil I go to Melendugno, 20 km southeast of Lecce. There is a cooperative there, they collect and process olives from the area and are very serious about their job. Go inside at the beginning of november, you'll see the baskets full of olives, ready to be squeezed. In the shop, you can find everything Salento: not only extra-virgin olive oil, but also preserves, pasta and wine.
Macchia del Barone, viale Luigi Einaugi, Melendugno, tel 0832.834830

Appropriate Measure of Central Tendency
Lesson 2 of 6
Objective: SWBAT decide and explain which measure of central tendency most accurately describes a given data set, recognizing inappropriate uses of statistical measures.
Big Idea: Measures of Central Tendency describe the middle point of a distribution of a data set; however, some measures of central tendency better represent the data than others.
Think About It
Students work on the Think About It problem independently. I give students access to calculators for this problem, so that the majority of their time is spent reasoning about the best measure to use.
One note: the word 'representative' was challenging for my struggling readers. Before this class began, I had the kids read and underline any words what were difficult to understand. While students are working on the means and medians, I circulate around the room and look for underlined works so that I can help support students who need it.
After 4 minutes of work time, I have students turn and quickly compare their means and medians with a partner before we start our whole class conversation.
I ask students to comment about what type of student they think Shemar is. I then ask them what they think I, as the teacher, would put in the grade book.
Resources (1)
Intro to New Material
To start the Intro to New Material section, we walk through an example about a restaurant. I ask students about the data - did people generally have a good experience on Tuesday night? I ask them what the 1 represents. Drawing from the learning in the previous lesson, I ask students what the 1 would do to the mean of the data set.
I ask students if the mean or the median would be a better overall representation of the scenario. In this example, we want an overall idea to know how most people feel about customer service. A precise measure is not as important because the data is based on peoples' opinions and it's more important to get an overall picture. An exact average, which would be the mean, would be skewed lower because one person had a bad experience at the restaurant.
We do not calculate the mean and median for this problem, but I will provide for students at the end of the conversation, so that they can see that the median in this example (9.5) is a better representation than the mean (8.5).
The key ideas that come out in conversation (and are recorded in the graphic organizer):
- The mean is used when an exact, precise representation of ALL the data values is needed
- The mean is used when the data is closely gathered
- The mean is used if the data is binary (meaning that there are only two possible data points- yes/no, 1 and 2, 0 and 1, etc.)
- The median is used when an outlier might skew the data (or there might be some observational error)
- It is incredibly important to consider the context of the data. At times, you want an EXACT average, and want to include the outliers. At other times, you do not want to include these data points.
Resources (1)
Partner Practice
Students work in pairs on the Partner Practice problem set. As they are working, I circulate around the room and check in with each group. I am looking for:
- Are students making accurate predictions as to the impact values will have on a data set?
- Are students looking at data and extracting information in order to determine the appropriate measures of central tendency?
- Are students considering the context of the data to make decisions?
I am asking:
- How did you know that the mean/median would best represent this data set?
- Why would the mean be a better representation that the median? (or vice versa)
I also will ask groups to calculate the mean and median of a data set once they've written their response, as a way to justify their thinking.
After 10 minutes of partner practice time, students complete the Check for Understanding problem independently. Two CFU examples of student responses are provided.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Independent Practice
Students complete the Independent Practice problem set.
A number of the problems in this lesson ask students to draw a dot plot to represent the data. This is a good review of material mastered in the previous unit. It also gives students a visual to use, to decide whether or not there are outliers and to determine if the data is closely clustered.
As I circulate, I check the work of problem 4. This problem requires students to create a dot plot and the data set contains an outlier. I can quickly see whether or not the visual representation is correct. There are many opportunities for questions here. I can ask what would happen if the next two quizzes were 40 and 45 - how would that change your thinking? What if the teacher dropped the lowest score? What measure would make the most sense then? What happens to Rasheed's average, because of the 40%? There are opportunities for me to ask a rage of questions, all at varying degrees of complexity.
I also ask students to share with me their thinking for Problem 6, where students are asked to create their own data set.
Resources (1)
Closing and Exit Ticket
After independent work time, I have students share their data sets for problem number 6 with their partners. Each student will have a unique data set, so the pairs have the chance to talk through how they decided on the numbers they've used.
Students then complete the Exit Ticket to close the lesson. An exit ticket sample provides an example of what student thinking might look like.

Supporters of a teacher fired from a Lake Zurich Catholic grade school for showing an AIDS prevention video that includes instructions on condom use plan to gather Friday to raise money for him.
Patrick Szady, 60, of Lake in the Hills said he taught at St. Francis de Sales for 32 years and had shown the video, "Time Out: The Truth About HIV, AIDS and You," for about 10 years.In March a parent apparently complained about the video. Although Szady said he agreed not to show it anymore, school officials fired him April 6. Szady declined further comment, citing advice from his lawyer.
An online Facebook group called "Get Szady Back" had 357 members as of Thursday. Members have begun circulating a petition urging school and St. Francis de Sales parish officials to explain their actions. "Mr. Szady has been one exemplary teacher for all of our students," the petition says.

M2 Closure J6-J5 Westbound, Kent, Friday 22nd July 2016
The M2 in Kent was closed westbound between J6 (Faversham, Ashford, A251) and J5 (Maidstone, Sheerness, A259) due to an HGV carrying hale bales that caught fire. The road remained closed throughout the day as the fire took several hours to bring under control and fully extinguish. Due to the significant damage to the HGV in the fire it also took some time to be recovered and the debris from the incident to be cleared.
At approximately 1018 on the morning of Friday 22nd July Kent Fire & Rescue Service received a number of 999 calls from motorists reporting a a HGV on the M2 westbound between J6 and J5 was on fire. Early reports from passing motorists were that this was a significant fire and as such Kent Fire & Rescue Service despatched units to the scene at 1019 and advised Highways England's South East Regional Control Centre of the incident.
Highways England operators at the control room found the incident on CCTV quickly and confirmed the location and significance of the fire.
The control room operators despatched at Highways England Traffic Officer patrol at 1021 and set electronic motorway signals on approach to the incident to encourage road users to pass the scene in lane 2 until emergency services could arrive on the scene and assess how best to deal with the fire and manage traffic. Kent Police were also advised of the incident and despatched officers to the scene.
The first unit on scene was a Kent Police patrol which arrived at approximately 1035 and confirmed that the vehicle was full size HGV transporting large hay bales and that the fire was signficant and spreading quickly to affect the HGV's fuel tank and tractor unit. They also confirmed that the driver of the vehicle was out and safely away from the scene. The police also requested that traffic be held from passing the fire and that a full closure of road may be required.
Kent Fire & Rescue Service units arrived on scene at approximately 1040 and they requested further units to attend to assist in dealing with what was now a signficant fire.
The decision to close the road was made at 1100 by Kent Fire & Rescue Service and Highways England South East Regional Control Centre requested road maintenance contractors from their Kent area attend to assist with the closure, the management of traffic and assist with the any clean-up, recovery and repairs to the road which would be required.
An emergency diversion route was established. Road users were advised to exit at J6 and follow the route marked out on local road signs with a solid square symbol. This route took traffic on the A251 southbound in the direction towards Badlesmere. Once past Badlesmere at the junction with the A252 traffic would turn right to travel on the A252 in the direction towards Charing. At the roundabout at Charing traffic would take the A20 westbound in the direction towards Maidstone and then join the M20 westbound at J8. Exit the M20 at J7 and join the A249 northbound and continue on this road to re-join the M2 westbound at J5.
At 1150 Kent Fire & Rescue Service advised that the fire had been dampened down sufficiently to allow traffic trapped between the closure at J6 and the scene (which was just prior to J5) could be released past the scene. Due to the amount of traffic trapped within the closure it was also decided to try and remove traffic from the rear of the queue by turning vehicles around at the back and allowing them to flow the wrong way on the motorway back to J6 and join the diversion route. Highways England Traffic Officers facilitated this but there was a significant amount of traffic to clear and given that this section of motorway is only 2 lanes wide it took some time to clear everyone. However all trapped traffic was clear by 1300.
Despite the best efforts of the units from Kent Fire & Rescue the fire continued to burn for several hours and required several bowsers of water to be attend the incident to replenish the tenders being used by the fire service.
At approximately 1430 our control centre were advised that there had been collision on the diversion route and that this route would need to be closed. This incident and the rural nature of the diversion route meant that road users being diverted off of the M2 experienced significant and severe delays throughout the day. In response to the closure of the diversion route the decision was made to take traffic off of the M2 at J7 and continue their journey on the 'old' A2 towards Sittingbourne. Re-join the M2 at J5 via the A249 at Bobbing. This route also became heavily congested throughout the day also.
Kent Fire & Rescue declared the fire extinguished and the lorry was cool enough to allow it to be approached and recovered at 1829. Firstly the remains of the burnt hay bales needed to be removed and then the burnt out remains of the lorry could be dealt with.
The load was moved from the vehicle on to the road so that it could be removed separately and efforts to remove the HGV could commence. The HGV was recovered by 1930 but whilst it was being moved it became apparent that the fuel tank had been damaged in the fire and this resulted in the diesel it contained leaking out in to the road. This would need to be dealt with before the road could be reopened. The remains of the hay bales continued to be cleared and this took some time to finish. The hay was removed by 2130 and the road swept for any remaining small bits of debris. Prompt work following the diesel spill by our on site clean-up crews had meant that the spillage had been contained and we could re-open lane 2 past the scene whilst the last of the clean-up was finished. The spilt diesel in lane 1 was removed and the road surface treated and cleaned allowing it to be reopened by 2230.
Throughout the duration of the incident our National Traffic Operations Centre (NTOC) constantly monitored the traffic delays on the approach to the closure at J6 and further afield. Our traffic monitoring systems indicated that road users were experiencing peak average delay of 1 hour over normal journey times between J7 and J6. In addition to this third party traffic monitoring indicated that there were significant delays on the diversion routes (both the initial route and the later alternative). Highways England's duty National Incident Liaison Officers (located at NTOC) utilised social media (specifically our @HighwaysSEAST twitter account) to inform road users of what was happening and what to expect. In addition the incident was shown on our www.trafficengland.com website. Our National Incident Liaison Officers also ensured that the local and national media were apprised of the incident and kept regularly updated as to its progress throughout the day to ensure all available means to advise the public of this closure and its impact were used.
The nature and size of the load and the fact it burnt for some time and resulted in the HGV needing time to cool before it could be recovered necessitated this protracted closure. Highways England would like to thank motorists for their patience throughout.

East Metro Parkway opens between Flowood, Brandon
Ribbon-cutting held Wednesday
East Metro Parkway opens between Flowood, Brandon
Ribbon-cutting held Wednesday
RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. —
A new corridor opened Wednesday that makes driving between Flowood and Brandon a lot easier.
Dozens of local officials and business owners attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday morning for the East Metro Parkway.
The parkway connects Flowood and Lakeland Drive to El Dorado Road in Pearl and includes bike and walking paths.
"We had $9 million from the federal government through the transportation deal," said Flowood Mayor Gary Rhoads. "We had $4.5 million from the Rankin County Board of Supervisors and $2.5 million came from the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority."
Rhoads said this is phase one of a four-phase project. He said ultimately, he wants the parkway to connection with Interstate 20 in Rankin County.

Don't Touch the Brown Patch in Your Yard! It Might Be Something You Least Expect
Have you ever saw a brown patch in your yard like the one shown in the video below? It might seem like the grass had died in that area, or like a small pile of sticks, but it's something totally different.
--- advertisement ---
Take a closer look at that unusual brown patch in your grass, and you'll be surprised.
Wildlife experts say it could be a nest of baby rabbits.
Look Out for Baby Rabbits in Your Grass
That's right. You might have a baby bunny nest right there in your yard.
Be careful when mowing your lawn and pay more attention to any dark area. In case you do notice the brown spot in your grass is a nest of baby rabbits, don't rush to touch them.
No matter how cute and helpless they might seem, you and your children should stay away from them. The reason is not that they are dangerous, but because their mother is probably nearby.
Even though you might think the mother rabbit is irresponsible for leaving her kids alone, she has actually planned it. Sometimes, the mother rabbit leaves her young alone just to protect them from the predators.
If she's near them all the time, the predators will easily spot the little bunnies. Not having their mother close, they burrow inside the nest looking for a warmer place. In that way, the little bunnies keep themselves out of sight.
Therefore, Ontario Wildlife Removal Inc. says you should leave them where you found them.
But, in case you or your kids have disturbed the nest, put it back together quickly and cover them with the original grass.
Make sure you inform your kids about this to prevent them from disturbing the little rabbits. Also, the mother rabbit might think your kids are potential predators so she might even try to attack them.
Also, don't forget to check your grass before cutting it!

Neon (just) right
Just in case you hadn't quite worked out what we do around here we've lit it up in neon.
In Auckland recently we came across this beautiful piece of neon at Cam's great store
on Ponsonby Rd.
With a little help from all sorts we got it down here, plugged it in and lit up our corner of the Civic Square.

A print campaign broke in USA Today and The Washington Post last week; spending on the newspaper-only effort, handled in-house, was undisclosed.
"To the initial resistance to paying for third-party verification, our argument is that the brand health of the industry, and of AT&T, is worth it," said Jack McMaster, VP-growth markets.
He said additional advertising may be added, depending on the success of the print drive.
The company had 500,000 of its customers fraudulently switched last year, Mr. McMaster said.
Rivals LCI International, MCI Communications Corp. and Sprint Corp. announced public support for AT&T's initiative.
Part of the AT&T proposal for state and federal regulators calls for a $1,000 penalty to be paid by resellers for every proven slamming incident.
The company is asking that regulators require third-party verification on all long-distance carrier switching. Currently, only outbound telemarketing calls from the carrier are double-checked for slamming.
AT&T is cleaning its own house by suspending the use of all outside sales agents, mostly used at outdoor events and promotions where the company is trying to sign up new customers.
"Misrepresentation by resellers of AT&T service has been an ongoing black eye for AT&T," said Jeffrey Kagan, president of consultancy Kagan Telecom Associates.
"Resellers use the AT&T brand to make money, but they don't protect it as AT&T does. ... It's good to see AT&T taking a zero-tolerance position," Mr. Kagan said.

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) MGL. c. 44B was enacted by the state to allow any Town in Massachusetts to adopt a property tax surcharge of up to 3%, the revenues from which and any matching State funds (up to 100%) could be appropriated for community housing, historic preservation, open space, and recreation projects.
In January 2005, Yarmouth voters adopted a 3% property tax under the Community Preservation Act and withdrew from the Cape Cod Landbank. Since then, the Town appointed a nine-member Community Preservation Committee and Town Meeting has approved 27 projects based on Community Preservation Committee recommendations.
CPA funds may be spent on qualifying projects in the four target areas of community housing, historic preservation, open space, and recreation. These funds cannot be used for any other purposes.
