Clarksdale: Myth, Music, and Mercy in the Mississippi Delta
While the term the blues means many different things to many different people, it's undeniable that everyone gets them at one point or another. As the late vocalist Johnny Taylor sang, "People got money, still got problems/ Go to the psychiatrist, try to solve them/ Any way you look at it/ It's still called the Blues." But there's no denying that the best place to get the blues is in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Whether you find the blues by donning a shiny suit and dark glasses to hit "the hole in the wall" and juke the night away or quietly sneak down to the fabled Crossroads at midnight to make a deal with the devil in exchange for musical prowess, when in Clarksdale you are always confronted with myth and music—and you will without a doubt find mercy for both suffering and celebrating the blues.
The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale strives to help untangle the mystery and meaning of it all through an interpretation of the lives of the men and women behind the music. A Blues Trail Marker greets you in front, immediately letting you know you are some place special: "Founded in 1979, the Delta Blues Museum is the world's first museum devoted entirely to blues." Visitors soon realize that they are standing on what many consider to be hallowed ground. The museum is housed in a former depot near where many a musician or singer boarded a train to either become a star or simply make a better life. But like many of those artists, instead of starting out big, the museum had to grow from humble roots. It began in a small branch section of the Clarksdale Carnegie Public Library. The library initiated one or two displays of artifacts because people from all over the world would turn up in Clarksdale wanting to explore blues history. Inevitably, these visitors wound up at the library asking for information and directions to sites. Lacking the proper security for even the few items on display, the librarians had to take the exhibits home with them each night. By 1981 the increasing number of visitors and the need to handle the artifacts more professionally prompted the library to move the displays into the main branch.
With growing holdings, the library later built an addition to accommodate the museum's artifacts, but they outgrew even that space. In 1999, the Delta Blues Museum relocated to the renovated historic rail depot. Just like the musicians it honors, the museum started with little more than talent and a dream but evolved into being a star. Today, thousands of people continue to come to Clarksdale to visit the Delta Blues Museum, which greets them with world-class exhibits and internationally recognized programming. In fact, visitors from outside Mississippi and the United States are our biggest supporters.
The blues has always had a strange and riveting power. Seventy-eight years before the Delta Blues Museum was founded, anthropologist Charles Peabody, while excavating a Native American ceremonial mound dating to around 1100‒1200 in the small community of Coahoma just outside of Clarksdale, became distracted by what he described as the "extraordinary" songs of the black men working for him. The music motivated him to set aside his archaeological findings to write an article for the Journal of American Folklore urging ethno-musicologists to visit Coahoma County, declaring that the music was "autochthonous music [of which] it is hard to give an exact account":
The music of the Negroes . . . may be put under three heads: The songs sung by our men when at work digging . . . unaccompanied; the songs of the same men in their quarters or on the march, with guitar accompaniment; and the songs, unaccompanied, of the indigenous Negroes.
A couple of years later, in 1903, while W. C. Handy was waiting on a train to bring him from Tutwiler back to the Clarksdale depot—the same one that now houses the museum—he heard what he described in his 1941 autobiography as "the weirdest music I ever heard":
A lean, loose-jointed Negro had commenced plunking a guitar beside me while I slept. His clothes were rags; his feet peeped out of his shoes. His face had on it some of the sadness of the ages. As he played, he pressed a knife on the strings of the guitar in a manner popularized by Hawaiian guitarists who used steel bars. The effect was unforgettable. His song, too, struck me instantly - "goin' where the Southern cross' the Dog."
The power of this music so influenced Handy, by then a popular jazz cornet and trumpet player and band leader, that he began to incorporate "blues" into his music. He subsequently marketed himself as the "The Father of the Blues," which also became the title of his autobiography. Handy left the Delta headed to Memphis and eventually wound up in New York, where the mysterious sounds of this "newly" created genre began to take possession of audiences.
In 1941, the Library of Congress sponsored a trip for American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax and Fisk University scholars—folklorist John Work, sociologist Lewis Wade Jones, and graduate student Samuel Adams Jr.—to the Mississippi Delta to acquire field recordings. It was on this trip that they "discovered" and recorded a young McKinley Morganfield, nicknamed "Muddy Waters," on Stovall Plantation, just a few miles out of Clarksdale, as well as David "Honeyboy" Edwards who was on leave from the service and hanging out at a local juke joint called the Dipsey Doodle. The Fisk scholars also meticulously documented how blues music and lyrics sometimes changed with geographical locations and audiences, shifting in tone and content from the farms to the cities and to what was then actually recorded and being played on jukeboxes. They noted that the music tended to morph and adapt, yet it never lost its mysterious hold on listeners.
Muddy Waters, hearing his own voice on record for the first time, was struck by the power of it. When he did not get a promised raise on the farm—and now knowing he possessed that powerful voice—Waters set out to make a career in music. Starting out as a traditional Delta blues acoustic guitarist, Waters made it first to Memphis and then headed to Chicago. There, he faced an environment much more urban than he had ever imagined; life was faster, louder, more mechanical. Everything seemed to be jumping. So like blues musicians before him, Waters began to reshape what he had been playing on the farm to better reflect his new environment. He plugged into an amplifier and picked up an electric guitar. His song "Catfish Blues (Rolling Stone)" went on to inspire the name of one of the world's greatest bands as well as a music magazine, and influenced a folk musician named Bob Dylan to switch from acoustic to electric as well. It is often suggested that Muddy Waters changed American music as we know it today.
The Delta Blues Museum is now home to the remains of the cabin where Muddy Waters lived before he took on the world. Because a passenger depot was built in Clarksdale in 1926 and the depot where the museum is now located was used for freight, no one can say for certain whether or not Waters boarded a northbound train from the exact site where the cabin now stands. But it can certainly be assumed that much of the cotton Waters and others harvested at Stovall Plantation came straight to the location for transport to Memphis and around the world. While Waters left Stovall for the world, the world now comes to the Delta Blues Museum for the myth of Stovall and other plantations where field workers chanted to endure their labor, for the magic of Muddy Waters, and for the mercy afforded by the life-leveling commonality of "the blues."
The Delta Blues Museum is not about any particular celebrity or style of blues. It exists to honor the men and women who possessed the spirit and creativity born out of hardship and hard work to create the unique American art form known as the blues. Beginning as field hollers using call and response, it later came to be with instruments and taught one-on-one, with one musician in turn training, inspiring, or challenging the next. That tradition is perpetuated even today through the museum's Arts & Education program which allows the next generation of blues artists to learn directly from today's purveyors. Local musicians are hired to teach students of all ages not only how to sing and play the blues, but also to help them understand the history of the genre and how it has evolved—while still standing firmly on a foundation built by the men and women commemorated in an adjacent wing of the museum. In 2012, 7300 square feet of exhibit space was added to the historic depot location. The next year, the museum received the prestigious National Medal for Museum and Library Service. In 2014, the Arts & Education program received a National Arts & Humanities Youth Program Award. Both awards were presented by First Lady Michelle Obama at ceremonies in the East Wing of the White House, with the museum's students performing at both events.
In 2019, the Delta Blues Museum will celebrate its 40th anniversary, and plans for new permanent exhibits are currently underway with an eye towards that milestone. Much like the music and the people who created it, the Delta Blues Museum continues to endure and adapt. The State of Mississippi has created the popular Mississippi Blues Trail and has helped fund music museums in three nearby delta towns. Other blues museums are opening in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and even in Notodden, Norway. The myths are perpetual. The music is universal. The mercy is all-cleansing. But the foundation of it all stands firmly in Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the Delta Blues Museum. So, if you choose, come sell your soul at the Crossroads. Maybe travel far distances to seek your soul in Clarksdale. But, in the end, let the Delta Blues Museum help heal your soul with the mercy found in the blues.
Shelley Ritter is the director of the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi. She received the 2013 Keeping the Blues Alive (KBA) Award in Memphis, Tennessee, for her work in preserving and documenting the history of the blues.

Ami's assessment of RyuujixMinorin pairing as sun/moon is spot-on! He'll run himself ragged trying to mentally and physically keep up with her.
On the other hand, what Ami seems to want is an Alpha Female/Beta Male relationship.
And i still think Yuusaku is a closet Bi.

Ryuuji really scare of ghost related thing, being set up some more . Ami really like to tease Ryuuji, but Im not sure what she thinking, she tease Ryuuji for fun or really like him.. (?)

Taiga Yea!!!
Join Date: Sep 2007
1. She is always the center of attention. Therefore she would try to get Ryuuji to noticed her more, and seem she it willingly to do so.
2. She is always the type to go after the best. Now that she realized that Ryuuji is a genuine guy, a perfect gem, she will do anything or everything to have him. Even helping him out, for future issues. It seems that she understands him more, and that is reflected to herself. In some cases, the way she is, it may come across to Ryuuji that is being so difficult to handle with, yet under that facade mask she puts on is indirectly showing support and her feeling to him.
3. She will not give up. At this point, she has not given up her total time with Ryuuji. It may seem so, but after realizing she feels about him, she will not stop and she is a better tactical planner then what people give credit for. Even Taiga and Minorin are obstacle, and she understand, but the biggest in her way is Taiga, even if Ryuuji doesn't realized that, Ami does. Hell has no fury when a women is in love (my own motto )
And as for Yuusaku, I dont think he is one. He is the type of person that is comfortable of his body, doesn't care what other think. Also keep in mind the culture differences, usually in Japan sexually is not a big deal as it is here in North America. Its common, that boys/guys take showers together, and change together in the same room, just like the girls/gals. Its not a big deal, while here in our North American upbringing it is. There is respect between the female and male bodies, for Yuusaku to walk in naked shows how comfortable he is with Ryuuji, after all he is his best friend. So they are naturally close.

Minori x Ryuuji moment, although he didn´t realise what she wanted to say when the fireworks went off, yet they had a deep talk. thumps up for this scene
Ami x Ryuuji moment, Ryuuji is just a too nice guy for his own good, but he gets all the girls lmao, a very nice situation aswell, Ami´s declaration of love, and i hope that´s her true nature
oh and the closing scene of the episode, where taiga went dere dere and sticked close to Ryuuji, damn i´m not into the loli tsundere, i´d like to see the more sophisticated characters like Minori to prevail in the end for once, but i guess that ain´t happening :/ i´d be more satisfied with Ami aswell.
oh and for an assumption
Spoiler for Kitamura:

However that's not to say that he doesn't now prefer Taiga somewhere deep inside, certainly he's more at ease with her, but if so that's because of developments with Taiga and not a sign of any loss of interest in Minori.
To my mind the real wild card is Ami, the obvious plot twist ending would be for Ryuuji to end up with neither the oh-so obvious Taiga, nor his desired Minori, but cutting the gordian knot and choosing Ami. Certainly if he goes along with any more of Taiga's harebrained schemes re. capturing Minori I can see his chances with her plummetting (maybe that's Taiga's plan? To screw up his chances with Minori whilst pretending to help him?)
Re. his chances with Minori I think his rival is Kitamura: Kitamura and Minori are obviously very close in a similar way to Taiga x Ryuuji, they are relaxed with each other, have similar interests, and she turns to him for help for things like doing the scare plot — and note that in helping her with that plot he sided with her against his supposed best friend, Ryuuji!

See those Ami x Ryuuji moments and everyone over analysising them made my heart jump! There were a lot of signs I missed when watching the episode the first time... and hopefully the directors were serious about those signs... because right now I'm supporting Ami x Ryuuji 1000 times more than I support Taiga x Ryuuji... I really hope they decide to change the ending! I love Ami to death... and with this episode I love her even more than I could ever possibly imagine!

Baka Inu~
What proves to me with this episode is that Ami is key part to the structure of Toradora as she makes things interesting and changes thing up from the formula. Since The rest of the main cast is bonded by a relationship of some kind, Ami doesn't need to have romance to define her character.
And I guess it also shows to me how everyone kind of revolves around Minori. Minori is Taiga's best friend, Ryuuji sees her as a crush and Yuusaku and her are nearly identical. And Minori doesn't see Ami for her cuteness or has a problem with antics around Taiga. It's just kind of peculiar how everyone is tied together, it just makes me wonder about what's going to happen in future episodes.

What Ami meant by sun-moon analogy is: Minorin will overwhelm Ryuji so much that he has no personality in the relationship. Afterall, moon reflects the sun but has no source of light by itself. Hence what public see is Minorin and Minorin's boyfriend instead of Minorin and Ryuji.
That is my take.
Pretty advanced for 15-17 years old people. Wow.

The anime's art style gives me the impression that the characters appear older than they appear. They look more like high school seniors, even university student freshmen, than 2nd year high schoolers to me.
That's probably just me though.

We don't really give much credit to the generation(s) that is(are) younger than ours, do we?
Granted, they don't always talk like they do in Dawson's Creek or something, but some kids nowadays are pretty perceptive.
Maybe that's a trend showing in recent anime, as well... at least, I'm starting to notice some examples, like this series (granted, it comes mainly from the light novels, but...) and stuff like Higurashi. It's not just dumb kids running around, all the time.

The vast majority of anime are set in high schools... a lot of older adults say that all the kids in those series act like they're 30, even when a lot of kids actually are that smart.
I prefer to think of it as the kind of adults who say things like that are 30-year-olds acting like they're 17.
And I thought the kids in Higurashi were fairly dumb, actually. Even if they are awesome.

[April 21, 2015]
Health Canada has issued new information concerning the use of methylphenidate. To read the full report, visit Health Canada's website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
A previous advisory on methylphenidate was issued on March 30, 2015. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
Behaviour or mood changes: There have been reports of agitation, hallucinations, symptoms of depression, and thoughts of self-harm in people taking this medication. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. You should be closely monitored by your doctor for emotional and behaviour changes while taking this medication.
If you have a history of depression or bipolar disorder, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Blood pressure: Methylphenidate may increase blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure or heart problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Methylphenidate may affect the mental or physical abilities needed to drive or operate machinery. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Drug dependence: There does not appear to be an increased risk of dependence or addiction with the use of methylphenidate by children and adolescents. However, abuse of methylphenidate is possible by certain individuals. Regular, long-term abuse can lead to high levels of tolerance and psychological dependence, and a wide range of abnormal behaviours. People with a history of drug or alcohol dependence should be carefully monitored by their doctors while using this medication.
Drug holidays: It is sometimes helpful to stop methylphenidate to determine whether it is still needed to help the ADHD symptoms. Talk to your doctor about whether a drug holiday (not giving this medication during school holidays) might be appropriate for you or your child. Do not stop this medication without discussing it with your doctor first.
Exercise: People participating in strenuous exercise or activities should consult their doctor before taking methylphenidate. Strenuous exercise combined with the effects of methylphenidate of the heart and blood pressure may increase the risk of sudden death.
Heart problems and blood pressure: This medication can increase heart rate and blood pressure. It may also increase the risk of sudden death for people with heart problems. This medication should generally not be used by people with known heart problems, including an irregular heartbeat, established structural heart abnormalities (such as abnormal size, missing or poorly functioning heart valves, or problems with blood vessels connected to the heart), or a family history of sudden death related to heart disease. Misuse of methylphenidate may also be associated with sudden death and other serious heart-related effects.
Long-term use: If you will be using methylphenidate for a long period of time, your doctor will want you to have regular heart checkups, blood pressure checks and lab tests to check your liver and blood.
Seizures: This medication may increase the risk of seizures. If you have a history of epilepsy or medical conditions that increase the risk of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Stopping the medication: Check with your doctor before stopping this medication.
Suppression of growth: Growth suppression (i.e., less increase in height or weight than usual) has been reported for children using stimulants such as methylphenidate for long periods of time. It is not known if the medication causes the growth suppression. However, children who need long-term therapy should be carefully monitored for growth. Their doctor may also recommend a "drug holiday," where the medication is not given on weekends or during school holidays.
Stroke: This medication may increase the risk of stroke, particularly for people who have already had a stroke or are at risk of having a stroke. If you have heart disease, are taking other medications that increase blood pressure or high blood pressure, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience signs of a stroke or mini-stroke, such as confusion, difficulty speaking, loss of coordination, sudden headache or vision changes, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Tics: This medication may cause tics or worsening of motor or verbal tics. If you have Tourette's syndrome or develop tics while on this medication, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication.
Vision: Rarely, people taking methylphenidate have experienced vision changes. If you notice any changes in your vision, such as blurred vision, or difficulty focusing, contact your doctor.

Sept. 17, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Highlighted by a home series against Arizona State, a tournament at the USA Baseball National Training Complex and the renewal of the Hokie-Smokey Classic series with Virginia Tech, the Tennessee baseball program announced its 2013 schedule on Monday.
"I am very pleased with the schedule we have put together," UT head coach Dave Serrano said. "We will certainly be challenged from the first game on, but players come to Tennessee to compete against the best in the nation and that is what we intend to do. In order to prepare to play in the SEC it is important that we are test ourselves. With perennial powers like Arizona State and Notre Dame on our schedule early, we will learn a lot about our team before we start conference play.
"I am especially excited about hosting Arizona State, one of the top programs in the country year after year, and restarting the Hokie-Smokey Classic with Virginia Tech, both of which I feel our fans will enjoy. They supported us through thick-and-thin last year, so we are looking forward to providing them with a fun and winning brand of baseball to cheer on this season."
The Vols will open their second season under Serrano on the road when they travel to Las Vegas, to take on UNLV in a four-game set, Feb. 15-17. It will mark the first time since 2007 that the program starts the year away from Knoxville and just the second trip ever to the Entertainment Capital of the World with the first coming in 1988.
Tennessee then returns to Rocky Top to host perennial power Arizona State, a team it last played in the 2005 College World Series, Feb. 22-24 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville.
After the first game in a home-and-home midweek series with ETSU, Serrano will then take the Big Orange to the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, N.C., where he spent his summer as the head coach of the Collegiate National Team. There, UT will compete in a tournament with Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Rhode Island and Ohio, March 1-3.
The longest home series of the season will round out the final portion of UT's slate before the beginning of conference play as it hosts a Tuesday tilt against Belmont, a weekend series versus Alcorn State and a two-game midweek set against former Vol Matt Myers' Western Kentucky squad.
The Volunteers will open their league schedule on the road at Alabama, March 15-17, in Tuscaloosa before returning home for their first meeting with Missouri in school history, March 22-24. UT will close out its regular-season schedule at home against Texas A&M, May 16-18.
The Orange and White will also travel to Vanderbilt (March 29-31), Kentucky (April 12-14), Florida (April 26-28) and Arkansas (May 10-12), while it is set to host South Carolina (April 5-7), Ole Miss (April 19-21) and Georgia (May 3-5). Tennessee will not face LSU, Auburn or Mississippi State.
Another exciting addition to this year's schedule is the return of the Hokie-Smokey Classic against Virginia Tech. The Vols and Hokies will play on Tuesday, April 16, at Pioneer Park, home of the Greeneville Astros, reviving a neutral-site rivalry that saw the two teams play in Kingsport, Tenn., from 1995-98 and 2001.
Rounding out its non-conference schedule, UT will host midweek games against Western Carolina (March 20), Tennessee Tech (26), Longwood University (April 2), MTSU (April 30), Arkansas State (May 8) and Morehead State (May 14). Tennessee will travel to ETSU (April 9) and MTSU (April 23).
The 2012 SEC Tournament, which features the league's top 10 finishers in the regular season, is set for May 21-26 at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. NCAA Regional action takes place May 31-June 3, followed by NCAA Super Regional play, June 7-10.
The NCAA College World Series will return to Ameritrade Stadium in downtown Omaha, Neb., for the third time, June 15-26. Tennessee has made four previous appearances at the College World Series (1951, 1995, 2001 and 2005).
Game times and season ticket information will be released at a later date. Fall practice for the Vols begins Sunday, Sept. 23. All practices and scrimmages are free and open to the public.

Difference between revisions of "Lesvos"
Revision as of 20:58, 4 September 2012
Lesbos (Λέσβος) [3], or Lesvos, is the northest of the East Aegean Islands of Greece, projecting out of the Asia Minor mainland.
It is a birthplace of numerous poets and writers since the Greek antiquity till the recent years; the island of Lesbos is still inspiring, through this cultural heritage and its natural beauties of landscape contrasts, an easygoing lifestyle, expressed by its people as a familiarity towards all its visitors.
Even though they inaccurately say it is due to the erotic element in some poems by the famous Sappho, instead of Lesbos (Λέσβος) it is popular to refer to the island by the name of its capital town of Mytilene (Μυτιλήνη). Spellings of Lesvos and Mitilini are widespread transliterations, reflecting the actual Greek pronunciation.
Of all the islands of Greece, Lesbos is only preceded in area by Crete (South) and Evvia (Centre). However, in terms of administration, the prefecture of Lesvos comprises of three major islands, Lesbos, Lemnos at the northwest, and the tiny Agios Efstratios, located in the middle between the first two islands.
Geographically, Lesbos includes two seawater gulfs, with narrow openings both to the south, that elongate the coastline and shaping the island characteristically like a fig tree or plane tree leaf, as described by the native nobelist poet Odysseas Elytis. The landscape is different in the various regions; most striking is the contrast of the far west region, rocky with low vegetation, to the east and central parts, where olive and pine tree forests dominate. Its elevation reaches almost 1000 meters at both points: the north at mount Lepetymnos and the south at mount Olympos, a name identical to the original Olympus in Thessaly.
Cultural information
People of Lesbos have admired culture since the ancient times, and throughout the centuries many poets, writers, philologists, painters emerged.
Two of the famous ancient classics were the poet Sappho (whose erotic poems gave rise to the word lesbian), born in Eressos and the lyric poet Alcaeus of Mytilene, an older contemporary. A glimpse of the ancient life in Lesbos is exhibited in the new Archeological Museum of Mytilene building. Bypassing some notable people before the 19th century, the naive painter Theofilos would depict not only the lifestyle of his time, but also the ancient myths survived in the tradition; Teriade, an art critic, preserved Theofilos' work among his collection of Picasso and Matisse in his own gallery, the Teriade Museum in Varia, a suburb of Mytilene on the way south to the airport. Both museums are worth visiting.
The town of Mytilene shows architectural variety. The recent expansion to the southwest suburbs are mostly simple modern buildings; on the south way to the airport one can find a neighbourhood of old mansions, called Sourada, extended to the airport road, impossible not to be noticed; the north part called Epano Skala (meaning upper port) is the oldest, hosting one of the largest castles of the archipelago and some villas; a careful eye can notice some temples for the muslim population that used to live in the Ottoman times. The heart of the town is the market street, Ermou street, just behind the quai. While walking on this busy street, pay a visit to the baroque-style temple of Agios Therapon, a "trademark" site of Mytilene. This variety in styles is not bounded only in Mytilene; one can notice small mansions and villas (serving as public buildings usually) scattered in the villages of the whole island.
Lesvos is quite well-known for the great number of its local, traditional products. As mentioned before, Lesvos is very famous for Ouzo, as it is considered one of the places it originates from. Also, Lesvos is quite famous for its pottery. Agiasos and Mandamados are the two villages that have the biggest tradition in ceramic art. Many ceramists live and work in these villages. Some of the ceramists there are Antonia Gavve( and Demetrios Hadjigiannis. Except for ceramics, woodcraft is also very developed in Lesvos.
Towns and villages
The capital of Lesvos is Mytilene (Μυτιλήνη), at the east end. A busy town as it concentrates the hospital, the university, the port, the airport, the court, the prefecture and other administrative headquarters.
Kalloni is the second-in-size town, located in the center of the island, at the north of the greater of the two gulfs (thus called "Gulf of Kalloni").
Molivos, the ancient Methymna (spelled also as Mithimna), the most important destination for a visitor, because of its attractions: the Gattilusi Castle and the whole preserved traditional architecture. It is one of the two lungs of tourism in Lesbos, the other one being Eressos.
Eressos is a small dale town at southwest paving the way to the sandy beach, or Skala Eressou, thus being mostly a summer resort. Notably, its fame as the birthplace of Sappho attracts some lesbian (homosexual) couples, but they consist a part of the whole number of Eressos' visitors, as it is a place too beautiful to become isolated.
Plomari at the south coast in the middle of the two gulfs' openings, is the homeland of Ouzo, the well-known Greek alcoholic beverage.
Mandamados, at the northeast, for the ceramic art tradition and the locally produced dairy products.
Agiasos, the picturesque village while ascending onto Olympos.
Other destinations
Greek is most common but many people, especially younger ones, know English as a second Language. Most signs are bilingual or even only English, but usually spelling follows a transliteration of how some place is pronounced in Modern Greek, so a little hard to recognize.
Get in
By plane
The island is served by Odysseas Elytis (Οδυσσέας Ελύτης) airport, named after the 20th century poet, and located in the far South-East of the island, around 8km South of Mytilene. Flights run regularly to/from Athens, Thessaloniki, Chios and Lemnos. Internationally, the island is a popular holiday destination so is served by regular charter flights.
Currently, Olympic Air, Aegean Airlines and Athens Airways provide daily scheduled services from Athens.
By ship
The island is also connected with the mainland and other islands by ship. Many major companies offer routes between Lesbos and Athens.
The main shipping company is NEL Lines. Third class tickets (No bed) is about 42 Euros return from Athens. First class with a bed and tv cost 120 Euros. I suggest not travelling third class as the bathrooms are disgusting! The trip is 11-13 hours depending on which ship you board. There are four, Agios Rafael is the slowest and Mitilini is the fastes taking 11 hours. It is a tiresome journey, so it would be better to try book on ships that depart late in the afternoon and travel by night, arriving at their destination a couple of hours after dawn. You won't miss any scenery, since the ship crosses the Aegean Sea and for hours you would only be viewing endless water.
Since 2005, Hellenic Seaways connects Mitilini with Piraeus (Athens' port) with a faster ship, Nisos Mikonos. With a stop at Chios, the trip lasts about 8-9 hours.
Jale Tur maintains a year-round ferry service between Mytilene and Ayvalık, Turkey, a city opposite Mytilene on the Aegean coast. During high season there are boats every day; outside season a few times a week (weather permitting). The crossing takes about 90 minutes. The ferry does take cars, but is fairly small. Advance reservation is recommended. Contact: Jale Tur, Atatürk Caddesi, Güzide Apt. No:5, Ayvalık, Turkey / Tzeims Aristarchou Street 1 (around the corner from Kountouriotou), Mytilene, Lesvos, Greece (both in Ayvalık and in Mytilene directly opposite the entrance/exit of the immigration/customs building on the waterfront), ☎ +90 266 331 31 70 / +30 22510 41400 ([email protected], fax: +90 266 331 41 30 / +30 22510 41402), [1]. € 40 p.p. one way, € 50 return trip; compact car € 70. During high season several other companies also maintain ferry services between Mytilene and Ayvalık. This ferry is mostly used by locals to go the Bazar in Ayvalik.
Also year round ferry service to Dikili, Turkey, slightly closer then Ayvalik, 13€ one way.
Get around
Local buses run on the island to the bigger villages on the island. You can buy tickets in the bus. The major bus stop and information station is located at Mitilini.
Taxis are cheap and the taxidrivers are obliged to use the taximeter. Taxis based in Mitilini are yellow. Taxis not based in Mitilini are grey-coloured. Taxis can be used for local transportation, transfers and excursions, but also for emergencies.
A good way to see the island is to rent a car. A local, good quality and affordable car rental place, Auto Moto, can be found at the airport, and many more car rental places at and around Kountouriotou Street at Mitilini's harbour front. Recommended if you are a confident driver! The locals drive pretty fast, but usually obey the traffic rules. The roads are generally quite good, and even the mountain roads not too challenging.
The island offers nice hiking routes between the villages. The hiking maps are available in tourist offices.
The island offers a variety of sea-food with reasonable prices.
Also the sweets of the island and the local spirit "Ouzo" are quite an experience.
Coffee is the most available drink on the island, even more than water. Prices start from 1-5 Euros
Alcohol is sold at every Coffee shop in every village or bars in the capital Mitilini near the wharf where the ferry will drop you off. Almost all Major hotels serve Alcohol as well.Price : 3-12 Euros.
Lesbos is famous for its Ouzo.
Stay safe
Never take photos of Military compounds/bases.
The Greeks are quite friendly and traveling around would be very safe.
Get out

|Brief Summary
This study aims at evaluating, in a proof of concept approach, the outcome of patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 3 hours of symptom onset in either a pre-hospital setting or community hospital emergency room without a PCI facility. Following randomisation a strategy of early tenecteplase and additional antiplatelet and antithrombin therapy followed by catheterisation within 6-24 hours with timely coronary intervention as appropriate (or by rescue coronary intervention if required) in Group A will be compared to primary PCI performed according to local standards in Group B.
The study is exploratory in nature and will examine this medical question. The efficacy and safety endpoints as well as mixed (efficacy and safety) composite endpoints up to or before 30 days following randomisation will be evaluated.
All clinical endpoints of main interest will be assessed as single or composite endpoints for evaluation of the trial objective. All statistical tests are of exploratory nature based on descriptive p-values for formal statistical hypotheses generation.

Despite a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging otherwise, Morgan County Sheriff Jim Petty said the Morgan County Adult Detention Center is not violating inmates' rights.
Despite a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging otherwise, Morgan County Sheriff Jim Petty said the Morgan County Adult Detention Center is not violating inmates' rights.
The ACLU of Eastern Missouri filed a lawsuit against Morgan County with the U.S. District Court of Western Missouri on July 16 alleging that county employees at the jail confiscated written materials sent to one of its inmates by Tara Ballenger. A resident of the state of Oregon, Ballenger is protesting that the materials she sent to a detainee in the Morgan County jail were confiscated, that she was not notified of the confiscation and that the rejected materials were not returned to her.
The suit claims that written materials including letters, newspaper clippings, photocopies of newspaper and magazine clippings and books were confiscated unjustly. The alleged incidents of non-delivery took place June 1, June 5 and June 17, 2013.
Citing 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the ACLU is seeking a temporary injunction to require the jail to "provide notice and an opportunity to be heard to the sender" when a decision is made to reject mailed material. The suit also requests a permanent injunction to require notification.
Often called "section 1983," 42 U.S.C. § 1983 gives protection from "the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws" by persons working under the state.
According to Petty, the materials sent by Ballenger that were confiscated by jail employees were not delivered because they were pornographic in nature.
Inmates are not allowed to have this type of material or any type of inflammatory or disturbing articles that might incite rioting, he said, whether that's a Playboy magazine or a picture of a nude spouse.
It is common to have to intercept improper materials and is a standard procedure for jails and prisons, he added. These confiscated materials are kept with prisoners' belongings and are all returned upon inmates' release.
Petty said, as far as he is aware, there is no notification process at any jail when such materials are confiscated. He said he believes the law cited is not applicable to jails.
While Petty spoke in defense of the jail, which operates under the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, neither he nor the jail or any jail employees were named in the lawsuit. Only Morgan County and County Clerk Cathy Daniels were named.
To further complicate the matter, the inmate involved in the case was a U.S. Marshal's prisoner. The Morgan County jail contracts with federal agencies to hold their prisoners.
The U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Marshal's Office, however, were not named in the suit either.
As a result, Petty said he is not sure that the suit has been filed properly.
The ACLU also filed a motion to classify the lawsuit as class-action due to confiscation of mailings sent to the jail by other senders.
The county has turned the case over to attorney Ivan Schrader.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
The events in Newtown, Conn., stirred up again the pro-/anti-gun debate. Each side has extremists: The gun lobby and their enthusiasts would have you believe that those against guns are "peace-and-love" types who want to see all guns confiscated and melted down into cookware.
The anti-gun proponents would have you believe all gun owners want 300 round clips of armor-piercing ammunition to hunt deer and that they get extreme sexual satisfaction by destroying targets with maximum firepower.
Compromise is a must; not for the sake of their respective positions, but for the sake of those who go to the theater or mall, to college or elementary school, to church or mosque, or just walk down Main Street. People who live in what has been called "the greatest nation in the world" should enjoy the reasonable expectation of coming home whole and uninjured.
But compromise cannot be achieved if people like the NRA's Wayne La Pierre make statements like those reported in the Pocono Record: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" and "We need to have every single school in America immediately deploy a protective program that works. And by that I mean armed security."
What we really need is a coalition including both sides. Such a coalition could develop a plan that would have the "antis" develop and implement a plan for school safety and education, and mental health initiatives identify and treat potential gunmen while the "pros" support a tax on guns and ammunition that would be used for those programs. It could be a win-win situation.
To do nothing only leads to more news stories covering the needless loss of life and the pain and anguish of the victim's families and the public at large.

Although the Mets haven't confirmed it, several media outlets are reporting the team agreed to a deal with San Francisco for outfielder Carlos Beltran in exchange for top pitching prospect Zach Wheeler.
In addition, the Mets will pay $4 million of the roughly $6.5 million remaining on Beltran's contract.
Calls to the Mets and Beltran's agent, Scott Boras, have not been returned.
Beltran has been held out of the lineup for tonight's game at Cincinnati, and manager Terry Collins expects the deal to be finalized by tomorrow. Beltran has 24 hours to approve the trade. Beltran has not reported to the Mets' clubhouse in Cincinnati.
With Beltran in the final season of a seven-year, $119 million contract – and with his contract not allowing arbitration and subsequently compensatory draft picks – it was a formality coming out of spring training Beltran would be dealt.
Five teams – the Giants, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston and Texas – emerged as the favorites, but Boras said the determining factor was which team has the best chance to win.
It had been speculated with catcher Brian McCann's injury last night Atlanta might sweeten its offer, but the Braves held firm on not wanting to part with their pitching prospects.
Likewise, Alderson held his ground on demanding a top pitching prospect, which defines Wheeler, 21, who throws a fastball in the mid-90s with a fall-off-the-table curveball and a change-up with movement.
Some scouting reports have Wheeler three years away – he's currently in Single A – but that's to be expected for such a young prospect.
In the end, Alderson made the best possible deal considering his limitations. Beltran was going to walk at the end of the year and the Mets would not get any compensation.

Cops: New York man filled 30 buckets with gas in Conn.
ORANGE -- A New York man illegally filled 30 non-approved, five-gallon plastic buckets with gas at a Boston Post Road Valero station on Saturday, police said.
Yunus Latif, 47, of Richmond Hill, Queens, came to the station at 347 Boston Post Road to buy gas for himself and his neighbors, who had given him money, according to Orange police Asst. Chief Anthony Cuozzo. Latif said gas was "sold out" in New York as a result of Superstorm Sandy, which knocked out power to several stations and hindered the delivery of gas to those with power.
Since the end of last week, gas stations in Fairfield County have seen long lines as New York and New Jersey residents come to Connecticut seeking gas.
Cuozzo said an anonymous, concerned citizen came to police headquarters around 8:45 p.m. and said someone in a van with New York plates was at the Valero station filling up Home Depot buckets with gas and loading them into the van. Police were sent to the station and found Latif, who was in the process of putting gas in one of the buckets, Cuozzo said. Latif then told police he had about 30 of the buckets, filled with four gallons of gas, inside his van.
"Officers observed that the buckets of gas were covered with lids and stacked on top of each other inside the van and trunk," Cuozzo said. "... The buckets were not secured in the vehicle and the lids were beginning to expand."
State law requires that gas only be transported in Department of Transportation-approved containers. The approved containers are built to withstand the increased pressure that occurs when gas heats up and expands and are made to decrease the buildup of static electricity, which can cause an explosion or fire.
The gas station owner, Muniruzzaman Gomosta, 41, of West Haven, said he was busy and didn't realize what the man was doing. He told police that Latif had come inside the store several times to pay for gas, but didn't realize what he was doing.
Gomosta and Latif both were issued a misdemeanor summons for violation of regulation concerning flammable or combustible liquids.
"Officers felt Gomosta should have realized what Latif was doing as he entered the store several times to pay for buckets of gasoline," Cuozzo said.
Orange Fire Marshal Timothy Smith and state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection officials responded to the scene and decided to return the gasoline to the station's underground storage tanks.
Gomosta and Latif are due in Derby Superior Court on Nov. 19.

Get Psyched For "The Prototype" See The Trailer Here
Man I like the looks of this movie. The thing I like best is that it doesn't look all computer generated and stuff, it looks more "organic" (which is a strange thing for a movie essentially about a robot). I also like how the robot has got a cool steampunk vibe even thought the movie apparently takes place in our near future. More after the jump.
Once again, it's cool to me how the robot of the future looks more like a robot of the past. This looks to be a pretty badass little sci-fi flick. Check it out:

that is one hell of a well made skirt.it looks pretty and proffessional, however you didnt give the ratio of what is to be cut, for instance, how to measure the yoke to cut in relation to the waist measurement. some like me are quite new to sewing and still finding their way to understand the complex patterns out there, i usually opt for written instruction instead of graphic. kudos to you, you make such lovely things.

If you cried your way through The Fault In Our Stars, and gripped the edge of your seat during Divergent, you know that 2014 is already quite the year for book-to-movie adaptations.
If you want to be prepared for the fall movie season (when you've swapped novels for textbooks), use this as your summer reading list:
1. The Giver by Lois Lowry
A perfect world means one in which no one holds any memories of life outside of the strict rules and constant watch of "the Elders." But when 10-year old Jonas is selected as the next "Receiver of Memory," he will discover that everything is not as perfect as it seems. If you didn't read this one in middle school, squeeze it in now, and catch this flick before you head back to campus, on August 15.
2. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
After losing his job, Nick Dunne relocated himself and his wife from New York to a small town, and opens up a bar with his wife's trust fund money. Tension builds as their marriage falters and Amy Dunne longs for her life in New York. That is, until their fifth wedding anniversary, when Amy goes missing. Told from both Nick and Amy's point of view, this New York Times bestseller is sure to have you at the edge of your seat come October 3rd.
3. The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
Sparks is at it again with yet another tear jerker perfect for reading on the beach. High schools sweethearts Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole reunite in their hometown after 25 years apart. They fall in love again, but destiny has other plans for them. Catch this one in theaters October 17.
4. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
If you haven't already binge-read the entire Hunger Games Series, read the third and final book before it hits the big screen November 21. Katniss Everdeen becomes the reluctant symbol of District 13′s revolution, while Peeta remains captive in the capital, as war envelops the districts.

>Running 101>opinions on running watches...
I am looking to purchase a new running watch. GPS is not important to me. I rarely run in areas I am unfamiliar with. I am more interested in being able to measure my pace and distance. I found the following online and wondered if anyone had ever heard of it. I just can't see dropping the extra cash for GPS when I really don't need it. I have not been able to find any reviews on it, thus why I am throwing it out here. Let me know what you all think.
How are you going to measure your pace with that?
You _can_ get an older version of the GPS watches for about the same price, or less.
If you don't want a bulky watch (cough ... *FR305* ... cough), you could probably get the well-regarded Garmin FR60 and a footpod for about the same price. Calibrate the footpod at the track once, and you'll get your distance and pace data thereafter.
Polar makes good devices and good-but-bulky footpod units, too.
"I want you to pray as if everything depends on it, but I want you to prepare yourself as if everything depends on you."
-- Dick LeBeau
Prince of Fatness
If you really want to go cheap use RA to get the distance of your runs by mapping them and buy a Timex Ironman watch for ~$30.

How are you going to measure your pace with that?
You _can_ get an older version of the GPS watches for about the same price, or less.
I paid less for my FR305. The FR305 also helps to maintain arm strength. I didn't see that on the Pyle watch's list of features.
+0.5, I go with the box store chinese $10 watch, as I am prone to losing them relatively often
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
The way I read your post makes me think that you assume GPS watches give you directions like an in-car system. They don't (but some can, kind of). The main function is to record your location at small intervals. These trackpoints can then be used to get distance, pace and various other things.
Personally I would either get a GPS watch or get a cheap sports watch and measure your routes manually using one of the various mapping tools available freely online. Personally, I don't see the point in getting anything in between. Footpods rely on your stride pattern being relatively constant which is a pretty big assumption, especially if you're running off-road or on gradients.
If you're happy to pay $133 for a [dodgy-looking] non-GPS watch, would the extra $10 really hurt to pick up a FR110 (see Amazon link below). The 110 is well made and will last you years if you treat it right. Admittedly you don't get an HR monitor but it doesn't sound like you want one (why would anybody?!).
Oh roo roooo!
Works for me, and the watch doesn't bruise my wrist by constantly slapping against the protruding bone as the big fat annoying Garmin does (yes, I have one and it is handy at times, but I use it seldom and will not replace it when it goes to hell).
Once calibrated, I've found footpods (including the crappy Nike+ gizmo, when it's not locking up) to be pretty accurate as compared to a running companion's Garmin read-out. When the terrain gets especially hilly, I think the footpod is more accurate than the GPS. Just calibrate it for the type of terrain you predominantly train on, be it roads or trails. I think in-run variations in stride length come out in the wash, at least for training runs of any length -- e.g. it may not be the best for straights-n-curves.
I've got a fever...
Timex 100 Lap Ironman is all the watch any runner needs. Big easy-to-read display with Indiglo for excellent night visibility, stopwatch (obviously), countdown timer, programmable 9-segment interval timer, 5-alarms. Nice big button for starting the run and hitting laps, and the stop button is on the side -- helps prevent accidentally stopping the watch. No, it doesn't measure pace and distance, but that doesn't really matter. Just run, baby.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
my opinion is that a running watch is better than one that is not running.

Unless its purely decorative, then either would do.

a watch that doesn't run isn't a watch -- it's a bracelet.
Tomorrow will be worse
the FR's have gotten smaller with the 405, though still a bit bulky, and aren't that much more than what you're looking at (and include a HR monitor, AND somehow the 405CX is cheaper than the bulkier 305). I really like that I can set it to mile splits and see if I'm dropping off at the end of long runs, if I'm maintaining a pace vs drastically up and down, etc. Plus seeing how far I went without measuring anything later. But to each his/her own - it's certainly far from a necessity. Stop training based on distance and start based on time, and it becomes (nearly, but not quite) irrelevant.
