The telegram largely met its worldwide demise on 15 July 2013, when India, the last country to use the telegram on a wide scale, stopped sending them.
For more than a century and a half, telegrams brought urgent messages: bad news, congratulations at weddings, and announcements of new babies. Telegraph operators transmitted messages over wires by Morse code; these were then printed out and hand-delivered by a messenger, often on a bicycle.
It's widely believed that Samuel Morse sent the first telegram via the white-hot technology of the electro-magnetic telegraph on 24 May 1844, to his colleague Alfred Vail, using his system of dots and dashes. Perhaps suspecting that his words would be saved for posterity, his message, winging its way from the US Supreme Court in Washington to Baltimore, read: "What Hath God Wrought?"
What God hath wrought was the equivalent of text messages. Telegrams allowed rapid communication, for the first time, across great distances. Instant messages, if you like, but brought to your front door by the Telegram Delivery Boy (never girl; not appropriate). It was cheaper to send a telegram than to place a long distance telephone call, once telephones arrived.
Telegrams were charged for by the word, so people saved money by being brisk, almost Hemingwayesque in their prose. Bruce Ismay, an officer on the SS Carpathia, the ship which picked up some of the survivors from the disaster, sent a telegram to the New York office of the White Star Line saying: "Deeply regret advise your Titanic sunk this morning fifteenth after collision iceberg resulting serious loss life further particulars later."
People also developed codes: the telegram equivalent of ICYMI and YOLO. The terse COQUARUM conveyed the bitter disappointment of "engagement broken off".
During the first world war, when telegrams were widely used in the military, a misunderstood message could spell disaster. So instead of using punctuation, military telegraph senders used the word STOP between sentences. The custom caught on STOP People used the word even when they didn't have to STOP
BT brought the British version to a close in 1982. Sadly, centenarians who were looking forward to their telegram from Buckingham Palace congratulating them on turning 100, now have to make do with a card.
The US service closed in 2006.
The textspeak of the telegram has become almost obsolete in our age of email, faxes, and mobile phones, and, er… texts, although you can still send one.
Plus ca change… Telegrams drove the Pony Express out of business. The horse-based delivery service from New York to California took 10 days. You could send, receive, transcribe and deliver a telegram in a matter of minutes.
Then even minutes became too slow.
Fun telegram fact
A reporter was writing a piece on Cary Grant and wanted to know his age, so sent him a telegram: "How old Cary Grant?"
Grant replied: "Old Cary Grant fine, how you?"

I originally made this bag for a friends birthday gift. However, in conjunction with other bloggers and online sellers, I have decided instead to run a silent auction for this bag on my blog, with monies going directly to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.
To think such death and destruction is going on in our country right now is just heartbreaking.
The winner will pay the full amount directly into the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal, and send me proof of payment via email. Once proof of payment has been received, I will post the bag to the auction winner.
This auction is open to everyone. I will cover postage.
The auction begins now and will end at midnight on Monday 24th January 2011
How to auction; simply email me at erica (@) recycled-fashion.com with the bid you wish to put forward, and I will contact the highest bidder to organise payment and postage on Tuesday 25th January.

The 24 September edition of The Bookseller has an interview with Anne Holt, the Norwegian author of the Vik-Stubo series. A series I became increasingly fond of as the books progressed. In the last book (available in English), Death in Oslo, Vik and Stubo were joined by Holt's other series character, Hanne Wilhelmsen.
Holt's next book (in English), 1222, published by Corvus is a pure Hanne book and is the eighth in the series but Corvus have an ambitious plan to release the seven earlier books next year - the first time they'll be available in English - along with a re-release of the three Vik-Stubo books.
1222 is set in the real place of Finse and is a homage to an Agatha Christie style locked room mystery and will be published in December.

Every nation in the world is fed with lies in one form or another in order to control them and to keep them united. No exceptions, I'd be glad if there was one. Some are fed with fear, some with vain pride. The lies of some countries are truer than others, while that of the others are falser. And no surprise, some lies have also been fed to the Pakistani nation.
Recently, some of the people have come to terms with the fact that their sovereignty is actually non-existent, especially after all the US drone strikes, which according to the Wikileaks are "quietly approved" by the Pakistani government itself, and now people are also offended at the United States Navy SEALs operation at Abbottabad against Osama Ben Laden, although their sovereignty was actually violated by none other than the most wanted terrorist in the world. Something that has embarrassed the Pakistani military in front of the nation (and the whole world) for a change, even if you consider local conspiracy theories. Anyway.
But still people talk about sovereignty, despite knowing there is no such thing. There are two reasons to that. Firstly, they would still not believe that their sovereignty is non-existent because of their conditioning. This is what the text books say, that Pakistan is a sovereign nation, the fortress of Islam and all that, and this is what they have been growing up believing in. What is happening right now to the beliefs and ideals of the Pakistani nation is a case of cognitive dissonance.
Secondly, because some of them, who realize that they actually have no sovereignty, aspire to attain it, which is every nation's right I guess. They want to see their country sovereign, respected and powerful, like all the prominent nations in the world. But the question is how are you going to attain it? I am not a big fan of the nationalism crap but if they really want to do that, apart from stopping sheltering terrorists like Ben Laden, they should start building themselves economically.
But then again, that is another story…

If you'd like to read my review (which contains spoilers- you've been warned), here it comes...
This children's book from Tyndale uses the same style of rhyming, repetitive verse as the popular book "The House That Jack Built." My children enjoyed that book, so I was excited to read them "A Patch on the Peak of Ararat." Unfortunately, we were disappointed in this book for a couple of main reasons.
"Marching with Sousa" by Norma Jean Lutz: Homeschool American History Book Review
This book is #33 in The American Adventure Series. Set in the early 1900s in Minneapolis, MN, this book discusses the effects of the gramophone, particularly the introduction of ragtime music to family homes. John Philip Sousa, famous musician and composer of "Stars and Stripes Forever" is quoted and discussed as the main characters are boys who participate in band and look up to his example. Some of the character issues addressed in this book include adjusting to being a blended family (having a step-parent), how to respond when friends become jealous or unkind toward us, how to be mindful of others needs, and exercising self-control and discipline to meet a goal despite unhealthy peer pressures.

Blog Hopping?
I am not much of a blog reader. There's only a couple I check on occasion:
Love this girl's writing... feels like she's a long distance friend. Well, her sister is my long-distance friend, so that probably helps. Either way, what an inspiration and encouragement- you just need to check out some of the places life has taken Leah and be strengthened and inspired by the love that oozes (yes, oooozes) from her heart for Jesus, His people and His creation!
If you like nummy recipes, or have special dietary needs (or both!) check it out. ALL of her recipes are Vegan, and many can be made gluten-free. I stumbled upon it when searching for dairy/egg free treats to make for my kiddo and have gotten hooked on several recipes. Okay, "hooked on" doesn't portray it well enough. How about "addicted to"? That's more fitting. Will definitely be going back for more!

500 Tacos: Don Dario's
An Austin taco a day for 2015 — and then some
Don Dario's
8801 S. IH-35, Austin (map), 512-280-1139, www.dondarioscantina.com
Hours: 7am-9pm Sun-Mon; 7am-10pm Tue-Thu; 7am-11pm Fri-Sat
By Mike Sutter | © Fed Man Walking | 12.13.15
The expansion of the family Tex-Mex restaurant Don Dario's to Southpark Meadows in 2010 was a landmark for an East Side business at the beginning of Austin's restaurant boom. Dario Gonzalez took the leap from being a cook at the late El Matador to opening his own place on East Sixth in 1985, and for Don Dario's to open a second location at a development anchored by national chains like Home Depot was a solid step for a homegrown business. But the original restaurant closed two years ago, and now Southpark Meadows carries the family banner alone. The family carries it well, with a full bar, extensive Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican menus, breakfast all day, handmade tortillas and tacos that can stand on their own.
The taco: Carnitas
You can change the dynamic at a taco place, depending on what you order. Start out by ordering tripas, and it's a sign you're down for anything. So when you ask the waiter to recommend the restaurant's best taco, he'll come back with something more adventurous than fajitas or picadillo (you know, for the khakis crowd). Mine recommended carnitas, and it's a charred, flossy, snarled, glorious mess of a taco. Think of it as refried pork: roasted first, then cooked to an edgy crispness with onions on the grill. The heat seals the juices, renders the bulkier fats and adds caramelized bark for texture. It's old-school enough for the streets, easygoing enough for the khakis crowd. ($2.50)
► Tripas: I've had tripas cooked a half-dozen different ways for this series. Crunchy at Mi Trailita, chewy as an innertube at Don Chuy, somewhere in-between at Kike's. But Don Dario's style is new to me. The twists and tubes of beef intestine are as deep brick red as cured ham, with the same kind of fat marbled down the sides. They're as crisp as fried Slim Jims, with no GI funk. ($2.50)
► Al pastor: A restaurant in business since the Reagan administration understands al pastor, even if it's not cut from a trompo. At Don Dario's, half-fatty knots of pork get a hard sear over a marinade of understated adobo spices, cooked down with onions and pineapples for the street-and-sweet twang of a good pastor. ($2.50)
► Breakfast tacos: Don Dario's sells breakfast all day, and that means anytime's the right time for migas with homemade fried tortillas, ranchero sauce and cheese in a handmade flour tortilla ($2). Nopales and eggs trade textural shades of hot fluff and cactus squeak for a simple $1.79 taco with its roots on East Sixth.
► Tortillas: Don Dario's handmade thick, pliable, corn tortillas are some of the best-tasting in Austin, the right choice for carnitas, pastor and tripas. Breakfast tacos do well on Dario's fresh flour tortillas, but they're a shade on the tough side.
► Salsa: A thick, homogenized red sauce with free chips is as mild as tomato soup. But go ahead, play the tripas card again and ask for Dario's green sauce. It's like blended tomatillo aspic fortified with peppers and onions for a salsa as clingy as you are with the ex who ends up slow-burning you every time. And that's why we like it so much.

Searching collections:
Each collection features a unique aspect of Michigan's history.
Civil War Service Records
What kind of information is in this collection?
The records in this collection document the history of Michigan soldiers in the form of muster rolls, letters, lists of dead, monthly returns and other materials sent to the state Adjutant General during the war. Items were digitized with funds from a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Muster and descriptive rolls contain information about individual soldiers and may tell you a person's name, birthplace, age, occupation, date and place of substitution or draft and muster, enrollment district, term, physical description, date of last pay, name of paymaster, amount of bounty paid or due, account of clothing, date of commencement of service, and company assigned. These records aren't likely to contain information about other members of soliders' families.
Regimental service records may contain correspondence, lists of officers and men, enlistment papers, recommendations for promotions, desertion lists, and remuster lists.
How do I find things in this collection?
Records in this collection are organized by military unit and company (First Michigan Infantry, Company B or Third Michigan Cavalry, Company F, for example), so you'll need to know the regiment in which a soldier served in order to locate records specific to him. If you don't know a soldier's regiment, there are a couple of places you can check to find out what it was. The first is the Michigan Civil War Volunteer Registries. These books are searchable on Seeking Michigan, and the books and index are available for use in the Archives of Michigan reading room. You can also check the National Park Service's Soldiers and Sailors Database.
Once you know the unit you want to research, use the Advanced Search link at the top of any page within Seeking Michigan to locate items related to that unit. (Be sure to change the check box from "Death Records" to "Civil War Service Records" first.) Numbers in titles are always spelled out, so you'll want to search for "fourteenth," rather than "14th." One easy way to find items related to a particular unit would be to select "all of the words" in the drop-down menu on the left, type "fourteenth infantry" in the text box, and select "title" in the drop-down menu on the right. Please note that most of the items contain multiple pages. You can browse the pages in a document on the right side of the screen after the item loads. Once you've located items related to your soldier's regiment, you can browse through them to find his name.
How might I use this collection?
You can use this collection to flesh out details about your ancestors' military service. You might also use the letters to the Adjutant General to follow a regiment's path into battle.

Waimea is a small Italian brand founded in 2004 by Emiliano Santiago Arrieta, the most anti-fashion guy I ever met in my life. Half Italian and half Argentinian, he doesn't care about trends, never read Vogue in his life and only think about surf, motorbikes and girls. He's wild at heart, only he's got a great warm heart, madly in love with life.
Jimi Roos embroidery: a successful mistake
"Anyone could do it". I interviewed quite a bunch of people with my job and this is the first time I get this remark. Jimi Roos, Swedish, 36, moved to Italy 16 years ago chasing for the sun and a warmer way of life. Now he lives in New York, where his wife works as a designer for Marc Jacobs, but his business keeps growing in Tuscany.
Why watching animals online, when you have pets at home?
Whenever I see photos or videos about animals online, I click and watch. No wonder, I'm just part of that moltitude of people who linger over cute scenes of cats, dogs, pandas, tigers, penguins… well it could be an endless list.
I call it magic. The story of Ramponi stones and strass
Shit happens – we all know that – and when it does, sometimes it can be magic. Alfredo Ramponi stands right in front of me as he tells the story of his life and his company, Ramponi, one of the three most important worldwide producers of plastic stones and strass for the fashion business. He's got the firmness and stamina of those who fight hard, the calmness of the man who covered a long distance on the path of loyalty.

Welcome to My World
I began work as the Head of the Archives & Special Collections at Amherst College on April 1, 2009. Since then, I have enjoyed digging into the tremendous resources available in our collections. I intend to use this space to share some of the things I have found deep in the bowels of Frost Library. Everything you see on these pages is available for use in the Archives & Special Collections, located on the A-Level of Frost Library. We are open from 9-4 Monday through Friday. Come on down!
Here's an action shot from earlier this summer of me showing off some of our Dickinson holdings. Most people are aware that Amherst has a lot of Emily Dickinson materials. We hold approximately half of Dickinson's known manuscripts along with a lock of her hair and the only known photographic image.The original daguerreotype of this portrait of the author is kept safe and sound in the vault in Archives & Special Collections.

Presidents and pundits tout the U.S.-Mexico border wall as a national security tool, designed to thwart drug smugglers and terrorists. In reality, like many separation barriers around the world, our wall was also built to keep out the poor and hungry searching for a better life.
In our society, rejection of the immigrant–the other–still runs deep, whether due to fear, ignorance, racism or selfishness. All of these reasons are likely behind the recent decision to put women and young children fleeing violence in Central America behind another kind of wall–the walls of detention centers.
Jesus' words in Matthew 25 were quite clear: "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." The dusty hand-prints in the photo to the left show that not even walls can stop those struggling to meet these most basic of needs.
Jesus urged his followers to tear down the barriers that separate us from one another and to risk everything to reach out in love to the other. What will you risk? How will you reach out to those desperate enough–and brave enough–to climb over walls?

Grocery Store Cards Made Available to More Communities
Province and Private Sector Working Together to Help Those Most in Need
On Tuesday, Jan. 7, $450,000 in grocery store cards will be made available in communities that were hard hit by the recent ice storm.
The province reached out to all impacted communities and the following have confirmed their participation in this initiative to provide grocery store cards to help those most in need:
- Dufferin County
- Durham Region - distribution will take place on Thursday, Jan. 9
- Halton Region
- City of Hamilton
- Northumberland County - distribution will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 8
- Peel Region
- Waterloo Region
- Wellington County
- York Region
The grocery store cards are intended to help people who lost food and are unable to replace it without financial assistance. The initiative cannot provide grocery store cards to everyone who lost power, and is reserved for those facing the most need.
This initiative has been made possible through the generosity of Ontario's corporate sector as well as unions and associations working with the province to quickly deliver food aid to those who most need it this week, including a major donation of $250,000 to the Canadian Red Cross from the Canadian Tire Family of Companies on behalf of Ontario's hydro workers, in support of the province's food support initiative.
The supply of cards is limited. Each community will be organizing the distribution of these cards locally. Those who think they might be eligible to receive a card should check their municipality's web site and local media for further details.
Working to help communities recover from the ice storm is part of the government's plan to work together as One Ontario to build a successful, compassionate and united province where everyone has the opportunity to connect, contribute and enjoy a high quality of life.
For more information, visit the participating communities' websites, or call for more information.

Quick Facts
- Distribution will take place on Tuesday January 7, 2014 unless otherwise specified.

Bachelet stays the course in Chile
Neither an economic slump nor slumping popularity has deflected Michelle Bachelet from her reform agenda. Amid a leadership vacuum in Latin America, the Chilean president looks far from being a lame duck.
Ms. Bachelet has arrived at the mid-point of her four-year term as Chile's president with support of less than 30 percent in the polls. This from a president who had ended her first term of office six years ago with a record-high approval rating of 80 percent – the best of any president since Chile returned to democracy in 1990.
Despite her slumping popularity and harsh criticism from the media, most of which is openly right-wing and opposed to her government, Ms. Bachelet has held together her fractious New Majority coalition while winning the legislative battles need to secure a series of major reforms – just as she had promised in her campaign more than two years ago.
Now the president must decide what to do with the rest of her term. Chile is closely watched in the rest of the hemisphere because of its democratic institutions, its adherence to the rule of law and its remarkable economic transformation over the past two decades. Its voice is particularly significant in matters of trade, democratic governance and Latin America's evolving identity as a community of nations. Ms. Bachelet's own importance as a regional figure has grown as the continent's natural leader, Brazil, finds itself paralyzed by a corruption scandal and economic stagnation.

- Also considered useful for the administrative university facilities, to better understand the possible effects of current decisions.

Discovering Dependence
- Susan Greenberg
I am an independent woman, used to taking care of myself and others. But that self-image was dashed five years ago, when I fell and shattered my elbow.
I tried to gather my dropped purse and Chinese takeout but didn't realize I couldn't even gather my body until a stranger knelt beside me and said, "Let me stabilize your arm.The ambulance is on the way."
From that moment on, for the next year and a half, I experienced the generosity of strangers, friends, and family as they first cared for me, then encouraged me to care for myself, and finally gave me the confidence to once again care for others.
The ambulance attendant said, "We've got you, just lie back."
The x-ray tech was quietly sympathetic.
The ER staff cocooned me in a temporary cast.
The orthopedic surgeon explained that it would take a few days to order the parts and put the surgical team together.
My hospital roomate kindly buzzed for help when I couldn't open the containers of coffee and cereal on my breakfast tray.
My life partner heeded every word of the postop instructions ("keep the elbow elevated to prevent infection," etc.).
For the first time in my memory, I needed help with personal care.One friend asked, "What do you want done that you think is too silly to ask?" She put some faded flowers on the compost heap and made a new arrangement from a few still-bright blossoms.Another friend brought fruit salad for lunch and, without comment, cut the pieces into manageable size.
Alone one night, I broke down crying.My aloof cat leapt onto the bed and nuzzled me, inch by inch, toe to knee to shoulder to head, then curled up beside my cast, purring.
Hope crept back slowly.Once the cast was removed, I started swimming.I began physical therapy, thanks to round trip rides from my life partner. Occupational therapy was farther from home, but soon I could drive myself.My yoga instructor helped me modify poses. When I now look at x-rays of my metal parts, I feel gratitude for the skill and patience of my surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists, who collectively put me back together.
There are still things I can't do--ride a bicycle, fasten a necklace.
But I am still an independent woman. And now I better understand my place in the universe: our need for others and others' need for us.I knew it before, but I have experienced it now.

We couldn't be more excited.
Aaron: Michael, we're having a girl!
Michael: Me and Roman are going to be parents
Well, no photos from our last night in London. Dinner was pizza delivered from Firezza. It wasn't terrible but it was probably our worst meal here. Oh well. Aaron and I just shared our final Paul A. Young brownie so that made up for bad pizza. We're nearly all packed up and will be climbing into a taxi with all of our stuff at 8:30 in the morning.

Following exploration and drilling operations on Zhuravlyna area in Kharkiv region, Burisma discovered a productive C-4 horizon
KYIV, KYIV, UKRAINE, October 4, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Following exploration and drilling operations on Zhuravlyna area of the Derkachivsk-Voitenivsk block in Kharkiv region, Burisma Group discovered a productive C-4 horizon.
"The application of latest technology has allowed us to fully assess the potential of this site. Today, we can confirm gas saturation of the upper-surpukhiv C-4 horizon. Preliminary test results suggest a gas flow rate of 120 thousand cubic meters and a condensate flow rate of 60 cubic meters per day. We have already carried out large-scale 3D seismic surveys on the Derkachivsk-Voitenivsk block and started interpreting the data to obtain an in-depth study of Zhuravlyna gas content and identify new drilling points," says Burisma Group CEO Taras Burdeynyi.
Within 6 months of 2018, Burisma Group conducted 3D seismic exploration on an area of 176 square meters. The Group signed contracts with several foreign companies to cross-examine and interpret the data. By the end of 2018, it is going to perform seismic works on an area of more than 400 square kilometers.
According to Taras Burdeynyi, in September, the Group launched its seismic equipment on the Rakytnyanske field and started another study on the Ohultsovske field, where it is already exploiting an exploratory well.
"Once we have performed all required works and interpreted seismic data, we will continue to drill exploratory wells in order to boost gas production," says Taras Burdeynyi.
All field work is carried out using latest US seismic equipment, including Scorpion, ARAM and RSR systems.

Burisma Group Boosts Exploration in Kharkiv region

The ascension to power of populist strongmen like Donald Trump in the U.S., Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey and Narendra Modi in India demonstrates the limits of electoral democracy as a system of truly representing the political will of the people. In all three cases, the numbers suggest that most voters wanted these individuals and the political parties that they respectively lead — the Republican Party, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — to form the government, but the reality in each country veers away from these purely numerical electoral outcomes.
The logic of democracy proposes that the choice of the majority will stand in for the choice of the whole electorate; but in fact, those who did not choose these leaders or their parties find not only that their will is not being communicated, but that it is being thwarted, undermined, or worse, directly opposed. This is how a supposedly democratic process ends up undermining 'the people' for very large numbers of voters.
Judging from Mr. Trump's statements during his bruising election campaign, his administration will work against racial, religious and sexual minorities, coming down hardest on immigrant communities in America. He has nevertheless won the electoral college votes necessary to be named President-elect. But it is the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, who has won the popular vote by well over 2 million votes, and counting. Protests against Mr. Trump have swept across American cities, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Austin, Boston and Miami, with hundreds or sometimes thousands of people asserting that he is "not my President". The immediate aftermath of his election shows the U.S. to be a country utterly divided, calling into question the foundational "union" implied in its very name.
Mr. Erdogan and his AKP got elected with a decisive mandate of just below 50 per cent of the votes in the Turkish general elections of November 2015. But after the failed coup against him on July 15, 2016, he has come down hard on members of the Gülen Movement (followers of the shadowy cleric Fethullah Gülen) that engineered the coup attempt, and his political opponents loyal to the Kurdish nationalist party, the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). His government has arrested, jailed and fired tens of thousands of suspected Gülenists and Kurdish sympathisers, picking out individuals from civil society, the army, the judiciary, universities, the press and political outfits. Mr. Erdogan's purges are pushing what is technically a multi-party democracy towards what looks increasingly like a one-party state.
Democracies everywhere appear to be in danger. Many electoral democracies are becoming outright illiberal; some are deteriorating into forms of competitive authoritarianism.Violence against Muslims, Dalits and tribals, curbs on dissent and criticism, attacks on secularism and tolerance, and a sharp decline in the freedom of the media and academia have become vandalised in the name of a new "nationalism". Since this summer, Kashmiris have endured the worst crackdowns against civilians and the longest curfews of the past 30 years under the BJP-Peoples Democratic Party coalition government.
The system of representational democracy — whether based on an electoral college or first-past-the-post — is also opaque about why citizens vote for this or that party.
The challenge is not only for citizens to reconcile their own opinions and aspirations with those of their compatriots who have different political preferences. The onus is on the government of the day to acknowledge that just because it won the election does not mean it represents the actual plurality of voters, their views and their interests. The sitting government has to rise above the ideology of its particular party in order to take the totality of the electorate and citizenry along with it.
Progressive, liberal, secular, egalitarian citizens of all three big electoral democracies — India, Turkey and the U.S. — have to find ways to protect the diverse and inclusive character of their nations, to strengthen their constitutional foundations, and keep in check the illiberal, populist strongmen who have ascended to power with mandates that are numerically partial and morally compromised.
To quote President Lincoln, "Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people". Is it really FOR THE PEOPLE?!

Financial Globalization, Corporate Governance, and Eastern Europe
Rene M. Stulz
NBER Working Paper No. 11912
For many countries, the most significant barriers to trade in financial assets have been knocked down. Yet, the financial world is not flat because poor governance prevents firms from being widely held and from taking full advantage of financial globalization. Poor governance has implications for corporate finance as well as for macroeconomics. I show that poor governance in Eastern Europe is accompanied, as expected, by high corporate ownership concentration, low firm valuation, poor financial development, and low foreign participation.

Purchasing baby girl socks can be a much harder task than at first blush when you realize all the factors that go into it. There is a whole range of socks meant for your girl that start with branded expended styles, but inexpensive baby girl socks can also be made well.

The Need for Socks
Baby girl socks are meant to protect the feet of your small girl. When your girl wears socks, you can have a huge sigh of relief. The matter doesn't end there. Providing enough warmth for your baby's feet is extremely vital as well.
Most of the mothers just concentrate on the upper part of the body and leave feet uncovered. These results in your girl having cold feet. It is impossible to cover her feet with a cloth always.
Before purchasing baby girl socks, just go through its features and specifications. Firstly, choose upon the kind of socks you need. There are different types of best baby socks that stay on available like ankle socks and knee socks that perfectly fit upon the feet of infants and toddlers.
You can consider small socks that are just below the knee level in case your baby girl is a small grownup kind. Parents who are much concerned about their girls buy slipper socks that can be worn that match footwear perfectly. There are designer socks like trumpet socks that provide an attractive look for your girl.
The trend of fashionable wear for baby girl socks has been on the rise in recent times. For example, there are baby socks that consist of laces and buttons. You need not always pull over socks upon your baby girl's legs causing a lot of discomfort.
Buttoned socks provide extra comfort as you can leave some buttons when more air is needed. The feet of a baby girl are sensitive and smooth. Hence, purchasing an ordinary quality sock will cause severe hurt. You need to consider socks that are made of fine quality material like 100% cotton.
Your priority for baby girl socks should first go to the comfort level. Ensure that the socks you buy provide enough warmth for your girl during winters and protect her feet, whenever she walks. Never compromise with the price factor instead of quality.

Colton loves Bad Piggies and so we decided that we could make a car reflecting that.
Colton had a hand in helping build his car. We used the scroll saw together and he helped with the drill press as well.
The eggs is a spray painted small Easter egg and the pig is from one of the Knex sets. So I didn't ruin the pig with glue, I glued a small lego 2x2 plate that it would snap into.
To cover up the drilling in the back (to reduce weight), I painted, "Krak," on the back. For those of you who don't play Bad Piggies, "Krak" is what appears right after you blow up a TNT box.
Colton loves his car and can't wait to race it this weekend.
Do I have any followers that are Cub Scouts parents? I would love to read about what your kiddos did. Stay tuned tomorrow and Saturday to see mine and Maben's cars.

Here is part two of the chat Lan Bui and I had with DP of '24' Rodney Charters.
If you watched part one you will have some idea of what awaits. If not, it is well worth a watch in my opinion.
Rodney talks about the art of the possible and using the tools we have to make images.

A Dayton doctor and his wife are scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of running a medical practice that prosecutors claimed became a pill-mill and which played a role in the overdose deaths of seven people.
In pre-sentencing documents Dr. David Kirkwood's defense attorney has sought leniency by stating Kirkwood was not competent in the area of treating individuals in a pain practice. Prosecutors state that the doctor's medical practice in Dayton recklessly issued prescriptions for painkillers.
Dr. Kirkwood, 62, and his wife, Beverly, 50, are both scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in Dayton's U.S. District Court. Dr. Kirkwood could face from five to nine years in prison if U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice accepts his plea deal, according to court documents, but Rice is not bound by that recommendation.
RELATED: Doctor, wife plead guilty in Dayton 'pill mill' case
Kirkwood pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully distributing controlled substances and one of health care fraud. The maximum consecutive sentences Dr. Kirkwood could face are 30 years in prison and a $1,250,000 fine for the two counts in the plea agreement.
Kirkwood's wife Beverly, who was the office manager for Kirkwood Family Practice, pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud. She could be sentenced to 18 to 24 months for her role, according to her plea agreement. The maximum potential sentence she faces is up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
A prosecutor's sentencing memorandum said from Sept. 6, 2006 through Oct. 4, 2012, the doctor "knowingly, intentionally, and unlawfully distributed and dispensed mixtures and substances containing a detectable amount of Methadone, Oxycodone, Carisoprodol, and Alprazolam, all controlled substances, not for a legitimate medical purpose and outside the scope of medical practice."
RELATED: Doctor's 'pill mill' case delayed
A prosecutor sentencing memo said Beverly Kirkwood "knowingly executed a scheme or artifice to defraud a health care benefit program" by causing false claims to be submitted to the Medicare and the Ohio Medicaid programs. An indictment said the practice distributed nearly 4,000 units of Oxycodone outside the scope of medical practice.
The memo said Beverly Kirkwood did not have a high school diploma or GED and that her relationship with her husband is "strained."
In October 2012, federal and state agents served a search warrant at the Kirkwoods' 2838 Linden Ave. office in what Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine then called a year-long investigation into a suspected pill mill. DEA agents removed boxes of what appeared to be records.
RELATED: Alleged Dayton 'pill mill' doctor who had 7 patients die set for plea
In late 2014, a federal grand jury indicted the Kirkwoods on 20 counts related to a conspiracy "to make as much money as possible by distributing and dispensing controlled substances," according to indictment documents.
The indictment listed seven people who allegedly died soon after receiving prescription pain pills from the practice: Eula Hoskins, 58, of Dayton; Deborah Goff, 54, of Trotwood; Ronald Jackson, 54, of Dayton; Tyrone Redavide, 45, of Dayton; Gregory Spurlock, 47, of Dayton; Norma Shepherd, 59, of Trotwood; and Gary Durham, 45, of Fairborn, according to the indictment.
In his memo, defense attorney Dennis Lieberman wrote that Dr. Kirkwood was a general practitioner who became involved in pain medication only after another doctor in the community stopped.
RELATED: Doctor arraigned in 'pill mill' case
"Dr. Kirkwood should have obtained additional training to become competent in the area of treating individuals in a pain practice," Lieberman wrote. "He did not. Instead, he regretfully treated patients beyond his expertise which resulted in the current charges."
In the memo, Lieberman objected to a pre-sentence report which stated that patients "lost their life as a result of the controlled substances prescribed by Dr. Kirkwood."
The prosecution memo said the 2011 death of Durham, 45, of Fairborn, three days after receiving drugs from the Kirkwoods, was from the exact substances prescribed.
"The investigation of the defendant revealed that several of the defendant's patients died from drug overdoses which were determined to be the result of multiple drug intoxication," said the memo written by U.S. special assistant attorney Maritsa Flaherty. "The defendant's overall disregard of his patient's medical and pharmacological histories certainly put his patients at a higher risk of opiate overdose and/or endangered their health."
RELATED: Doctor, wife indicted for allegedly running 'pill mill'
Lieberman's memo included 18 letters of support written by Dr. Kirkwood's patients and 10 more written by family, friends and colleagues. Many disputed DeWine's characterization that the Kirkwood's ran a pill mill.
One patient, Theresa Scherer, wrote "He hired the wrong people and trusted them and they have destroyed him and his family."
Many writers said Dr. Kirkwood didn't have the right people working for him while fellow doctors praised his work with an under-served community.
MORE: Read other stories from Mark Gokavi
J. Scott Wilcher, a fellow physician, wrote: "I never saw any signs of unethical behavior or immorality" and added that Kirkwood pleaded guilty to avoid the possibility of an even lengthier prison term.
"While many of them believe that he is not guilty of the charges to which he pled guilty, their belief is formulated upon their experience of Dr. Kirkwood, his integrity, his compassion and his never ending zeal to help them," Lieberman wrote of the patients' letters. "The portrait painted by the 28 letters attached to this Sentencing Memorandum are of a hardworking man who all of the writers believe would not intentionally harm anyone."
The restitution owed to the government for health care fraud by the Kirkwoods was calculated at $159,825.03.

Once again, Southern Specialties has stepped up, as always, and delivered. I have so far purchased a couple dozen picks from SS, and there is NEVER a disappointment. No body exceeds the value you provide. Keep up the good work!
Some of the picks needed a little touching up with sandpaper. The handles felt great...spot welded, very smooth and comfortable. The hook is slightly steeper than sparrows short hook, and I love it!
Excellent fit and finish, they transmit the correct "feel" to your fingertips.
Saw these on the website and bought a few. They're nicely done were quickly delivered. Thanks
As always, there is NO disappointment with latest purchase from SS. The new quad bogota is fantastic! Once again I have impressed the local locksmith with the quality of your products. EVERYONE needs to get on board with Southern Specialties. It's AMERICAN MADE, quickly shipped and affordable for novice to Pro. Thanks Jeff and Tina! Job WELL DONE!!!
Hat's off to Tina, her husband and the crew at Southern Specialties! As a novice picker, I feel that you have put together a collection of entry tools that are inspired by necessity, NOT FLUFF! You stick with basic concepts, manufacture them with quality materials and keep it simple yet affordable. I have used these picks right next to 30 year pickers, and they are amazed at their performance and attention to detail. Summing up; Affordable for the beginner to accumulate a good arsenal and yet the quality and performance the seasoned Pro demands. Quit buying foreign picks with 6 weeks to wait for JUNK. Buy American, get it quick and get to work. Thanks guy's and thank you both (plus any other staff) for your service to our country!
Looks like a good pick at a good price..not as refined as the ones in the full kit but I will be going over all of them as a course of habit.
I'm a pentester for a fortune 50 retailer and my job includes physical security assessments. I purchased several of these picks on a recommendation from a friend and was so happy with them I purchased a second order. I had one minor issue where a pick was bent during shipping and emailed their support on a Saturday; within 30 minutes, they had emailed me back, apologized and had a replacement pick queued up for mailing. Excellent customer service! Additionally, the picks are great quality and a much better value for the money than many other major pick companies. I own several sets from other places and these are my go-to picks. I highly recommend and I will absolutely be buying picks from this company again in the future.
This must be your "GO TO" if you are looking for Bang for your Buck. These picks arrive requiring little to NO sanding prior to going to work. Priced for the beginner, yet high quality enough for most Pro's. Strong and durable for sure. There are no stupid profiles either. Each profile is viable in it's own respect. Quit sending money to Asia and waiting 2 months for a crap product. Buy quality RIGHT HERE in the USA!!!

Today was an unusual day. The kitchen is my domain and I rarely give it up or share it. I don't often ask for help in there. It's kind of my personal retreat, my temple of contemplation where I clear my mind and think of nothing but the task at hand. So, today I took #Baketogether to a whole new level.
I ended up watching the grand nieces today for several hours as their mom was off teaching a class. After breakfast and a game of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus it was time to come up with another activity. Since our blueberry bush is actually producing and we had other fruit in the house these pies came to mind.
For emergency purposes I had some prepared pie dough in the freezer and thawed it out. This probably wasn't the wisest choice, but I was going for easy. Easy is necessary when kids are involved. I followed Abby's recipe, making just a couple of changes. I changed the raspberries for strawberries and pecans for the almonds. Abby's recipe is here. I won't reprint it since I made so few changes. I also made them bite sized.
Lilian and Stella helped my mix everything up, cut out the dough, put it in the mini tart pans, fill with filling and top with the streusel topping. As you can see in the picture at the top they bubbled up into a terrible mess. They stuck badly and the crusts weren't that great, but they're good. A bit too sweet for my taste, but the girls gobbled theirs!

After 135 Ghuun pulls we finished off the first tier of BFA at US 10th! This was an awesome tier and we're hopeful for more Fetid's and Ghuun's (although our warlocks might disagree) in the future. Our goal has always been to play the best WoW we're capable of and we saw some that with our early kills (US 4th Fetid, Helya!) and we hope to continue to see that level of success and improve as the tiers roll out. That being said, we're really proud of how everyone performed. It was great seeing how engaged our roster was with strats and making small pull-to-pull improvements from day 1.
There were some great bosses this tier – Mother and the extra day-1 beam mechanic (R.I.P.), Zek'Voz with our fine-tuned CC kick order, Fetid, and of course the Warlock killer (G'Huun). It's been a long time since Blizzard released a boss that required the entire raid to be personally accountable for the mechanics and was a great example of a boss where we just needed some good ole' fashioned "mistake free gaming" to win.
After months of farm it felt really good to finally shake off the rust and we're getting ready for the future. If there are any people out there who think they can come and own, feel free to throw in an app. To the MW fans/guildies cheering us on, LOVE YA GUYS; we can't thank y'all enough. To the rivals we picked up this tier (and the overtime police): catch us at BlizzCon so we can take shots, drink a few cold ones, and do a couple shoeys. KKONA BROTHER, HANG LOOSE, YEEEEE HAW!

Bama v. Florida, Bryant Denny Stadium, 2005
This may actually be my favorite game of all time. I woke up that morning and crossed campus at the crack of dawn. People were already setting up their tailgates on the quad, and people were already drinking. Why was I up that early? I was taking the LSAT--in a campus building, while people tailgated all around. I had my bag packed with my game day clothes, shoes, and make up (hello, it's the South--we look our best at games). As soon as the test proctor let us go, I made a bee line for the sorority house to change, eat, and get into the stadium. I knew I had done well on the test so I was in high spirits when I entered the stadium. Florida had a new coach, Urban Meyer, who was supposed to be amazing, and our team was actually half way descent that year. I have to say that I have never heard the fans at Bryant Denny so loud before--it was deafening. The only silent moment came when our star player, Tyrone Prothro, gruesomely broke his leg. Silence is a misstatement, because there were Florida fans gator chomping and cheering as his bone was sticking out of his skin and as he lay writhing in pain on the field. The gators had insulted our player, our team, and our fans, and after that moment, there was no turning back. The crowd got louder, the team hit harder, and we ended the game with a 31-3 victory, even though the Gators were the overwhelming favorite. I compare the volume of crowds to that game, and only a few times have our fans gotten to that level. I compare my feelings leaving a game to that game. I hope I never have to feel as desolate as I did when I watched Tyrone being carted off the field, knowing that his great talent would never play again.
Take that!
See the hateful choppers? I'm glad I snapped this pic all those years ago. Who knew I'd need it for this!
(06 and 07 aren't worth discussing)
Georgia v. Bama, 2008This was my first experience in Athens, GA, and man was it a doozie. My family went to the game together, all 5 of us (this was the season before Forrest and I married). I was a 3L in law school, my sister was a freshman in college, and my brother was a senior at Georgia Tech. We played UGA on a rotation so our team hadn't been to Athens in quite a while. That was Nick Saban's second year coaching, and we were undefeated. Georgia had decided to make this game their "black out game", meaning the team and all the fans wore black. They had much success doing this the year before against Auburn, and the hype was definitely behind Georgia. We spent an interesting day wandering around Athens. My parents were cussed at (seriously, some guy got in my mom's face and said "I wish you Bama fans would jump up my a$$ and die"--to my MOM!) and some friends of us had bottles thrown at them. We even were given the wrong directions twice by 2 separate groups of UGA fans. We could totally feel the hostility and honestly, we were a little nervous. The stadium was loud, but not for long. Our team was up by 3 touchdowns in no time. Now, we let UGA get back those touch downs, but we ended up winning handily. The stadium looked like it was bleeding black as the UGA fans left, totally dejected. Their gamble didn't work this time. We were singing "I said it's great, to be, from ALABAMA" all the way down the ramp from the upper deck. When we got to the stadium gates, however, my dad looked at us and told us we were not to say anything, cheer, make faces, etc at any Georgia people. We could still feel the hostility in the air and dad said he was just too old to be getting into fights for us at this point in his life. We quietly walked to the car. When we were nearly there, we saw this sad little UGA guy, painted black from the waist up, with a red O on his chest. As we passed him my sister turned around and screamed "I bet you are feeling stupid now!!". I swear, I thought my dad was going to hit her. Luckily, the guy kept walking. We actually ended up walking the rest of the way with a group of the players' families (I met Javier Arenas' mom--too sweet) so we felt much safer. We learned that year that it doesn't matter what you wear, the Tide really doesn't care.
Sweet family--notice we are wearing white to "white out" the black out.
Notice the black in the aisles.
LSU v. Bama, 2008I should have been studying for my last law school finals, but instead, Forrest and I drove to Baton Rouge (yes, there and back in a day--that's 10+hrs in the car) for the LSU game. They had beaten us so many years in a row that it wasn't funny. This was Nick Saban's first year to go back to LSU as the Bama coach and there had been lots of drama about it all week long. Someone hung and burned Nick in effigy, people threw things at the team bus when they got into town, etc. I had never been to Baton Rouge and was really excited. Now, I didn't care for the random LSU people getting in my face and screaming "TIGER BAIT" but hey, I'm a fan, I get it. Our tickets were on the first row, which is field level in their stadium. I couldn't see anything but it was amazing to be that close to the action! Right at the end of the game, we were going to win if our kicker made an easy field goal (it could have been an extra point but I'm thinking field goal). We walked down to the uprights to stand under it as the ball came through, which was dumb because we were in front of lots of LSU fans who were really upset at this point. When the kicker missed, an enraged yet elated LSU man literally PICKED me up and flung me to the side. I'm not lying here. PICKED ME UP! I was stunned and looking at Forrest like "Um, are you going to do something???" Instead, we just started running--ain't nobody got time for a fight like that!! We went into overtime and in dramatic fashion, we won! Oh, the celebration! Since we were on row 1 we got to go on the field and celebrate! It was truly magical!! We ended up staying in the stadium for over and hour cheering, screaming, hugging strangers. I even got to meet some of the players when they boarded the bus!
Woop woop!!! (notice what we are wearing--it's November--welcome to the South)

Penn St v. Bama, 2011This was one of the very first games of the season and our first real test. We just had a great season but we lost 3 games so no one was very sure of our team. We were very excited to go to PA for the game, however, win our lose. Penn State and Alabama have 2 of the most storied, traditional teams in the NCAA and it was a treat to be playing them. Happy Valley really was the happiest of places. People greeted us on the streets, they even yelled ROLL TIDE to us as we passed. It was quite the opposite of the UGA and LSU experiences from above! You could feel the Penn State fans' passion for football radiating behind their smiles, and we knew it would be an intense game. Turns out, we were wrong. We won handily, which really did surprise us, and of course we were ecstatic. The trip itself was SO much fun, which is probably why this game stands out so much to me. It was also just before the whole Penn State scandal broke, so I'm sure we got the very best experience possible for the rivalry.
A beautiful day for a win!!
Tailgating fun! Bama fans know how to travel!
Bama v. Notre Dame, 2012 National ChampionshipOk so technically this game was played in 2013 if you want to be quarrelsome. Once Bama got good and started going to National Championships regularly, I was determined to go myself. Tickets are ridiculously expensive so I didn't if that would actually happen, but I always left my options opened. This year, everything just fell into place. Someone offered us their tickets at face value. We had a hotel reservation in Miami since July, just in case (yes, I have one already for Pasadena--that's just good planning). We found terrible but super cheap flights. We made it happen. Yes, I got the stomach virus then night before the game, on my birthday, no less, but I was determined to be at that game--the fates wanted me there. With my pedialyte and box of saltines in tow, I took my seat in the stadium over an hour before kick off because I was too nervous to do anything else. Notre Dame was good. I really hadn't watched them play during the season because we were always at our games, but the hype was there. As I lay awake, sick as a dog the night before the game, ESPN kept picking them. I was so worked up by the time I got in the stadium I didn't know if I was sick or just jittery anymore. Notre Dame was loud--I felt like our fans were complacent--been there, done that--twice. I just knew that there was no way we'd win 2 in a row, and we would have spent all that money for nothing, even though it wasn't as much as it could have been. Well folks, we all know I was wrong. Up by 1 touchdown, then 2, then 3. It just kept going. My jitters subsided, I sat the majority of the game (which was good since I hadn't eaten in over a day), and we sailed into a gigantic victory. Nothing can top that!
Victory is ours!!
Honorable Mention
Bama v. Clemson 2008This was the first game of Nick Saban's second season. We had a pretty embarrassing season the year before and I honestly felt like we would lose this game. Clemson was ranked something like 9 and we were 25. I really just went because I was a student and got cheap tickets, plus, it was played in the Georgia Dome so I figured it would be a fun experience. It was. Our team came out like steam rollers--methodically marching down the field, driving it down the Tigers' throats. ROLL TIDE!! We're back!!
Mom, Me, my brother, and Dad
Bama v. Michigan, 2012Forrest and I were determined to make it for Dallas for the season opener last year. It was one thing to play Michigan, and it was quite another to be playing them in Dallas Cowboys Stadium! I remember walking around thinking "aww, these Michigan people really think they are going to win!". I was super cocky because we had just won a National Championship that no one thought we could win, but in reality, I knew that Michigan was a good team and had amazing players and we needed to be on our toes. We were. Minus the drunk girl that had a coughing fit and ended up spitting pickle all over Forrest, it was a successful game!
Happy weekend! Are you a football fan? Are you gearing up for the season? Were you at any of these games?
Linking up with Sarah for Fan Friday!

Edgar Degas was a French sculptor, painter, draughtsman, printmaker, pastellist, and photographer. He was a founder member of the Impressionist group and the leader within it of the Realist tendency. He organized several of the group's exhibitions, but after 1886 he showed his works very rarely and largely withdrew from the Parisian art world. As he was sufficiently wealthy, he was not constricted by the need to sell his work, and even his late pieces retain a vigor and a power to shock that is lacking in the contemporary productions of his Impressionist colleagues.
By 1917 Degas had become almost a public monument and after his death his reputation mounted steadily. Many of his works entered public collections in Europe, the USA, and Japan; most major museums of modern art have acquired at least one Degas. A constant stream of research and exhibitions revolving around Degas has also accompanied the consistent acquisition of his works.
Degas' pastels of dancers are instantly recognizable for their subtle grace and beauty. The movements of dancers endlessly fascinated Degas and their smallest gestures never went unnoticed by his keen artistic eye. He spent years sketching dancers during rehearsals, classes, and performances, gathering greater understanding of the human form and movement. This copious study culminated in numerous pastels of ballerinas, which feature a variety of balletic poses, a luminous treatment of pastel, and interesting compositional perspectives (inspired by both the modern photograph and traditional Japanese screenprints).

Re: Home CCTV
Anything which is internet connected is prone to hack and misuse. These companies selling these products care nothing for your safety and security and just want to get them to market quick and shift a load of them. I won't have anything which is connected to the internet and that includes these go awful Amazon and Google things, Nest or smart meters.
Oh and if you have a smart phone that will be listening in on you too, especially the Apple ones.
Until this stuff matures and isn't driven by selling your info then steer clear is my advice. Of course if you don't care that people know absolutely everything about you then jog on.

Re: Home CCTV
burglars as it has been said wear masks/balaclavas - and gloves to hide prints
cctv is just confirmation you're house has something inside worth nicking
just secure all windows and doors
and hope they rob your neighbours

Re: Home CCTV
CCTV won't be much use if the intruder wears a mask. Better get a proper alarm system, and secure doors and windows. The only problem with a deterrent dog is that it will bark at anything and drive you and neighbours mad.

Ring system is a pretty cheap and easy way to do it. Between that, the alarm and the dogs I should get plenty of notice.

Re: Home CCTV
Ring pro doorbell, Ring security camera and light and a decent alarm system. I have all three, and a rottweiler. The ring doorbell sends notifications of all movements in front of the house at a angle of around 140 degrees which means you can get a sound as they are walking towards your property. It's easy to set up with a direct connection to your fuse box. The Ring 1 doorbell uses rechargeable batteries so is easier to install but doesn't come with the door chime box.
If you're getting 4 cameras then get a 2TB box so you will still get 14-21 days recording (good if you are on holiday).

This week I'm attending the IKAA Gathering 2010, which is the 5th overall Gathering (DC, Oslo, Seoul, Seoul, Seoul). I had the privilege of attending in 2007 – what an amazing learning experience. I'm looking forward to listening and learning this time as well.
Being back in Seoul for the first time since 2007 has also been a trip. It seems like Korea changes every year – more and more apartment buildings going up, more and more shopping centers (recession? what recession?), and more and more foreigners walking the streets of Seoul. I've always seen white (and a few black) people in Korea and assumed they were probably American military, but now I'm definitely noticing more Southeast Asians. Korea is definitely changing – and yet how much is it not? We may think Korea is becoming more globalized because so many more foreigners live here, but I wonder how easy it is (not) for them to live here.
What hasn't changed – Korean girls are still wearing high heels everywhere they go. I tried this yesterday, and they weren't even spiky heels, but oh boy my feet hurt. Cute flip flops for me, thank you very much. Also, the food is as good as ever. Where else can you get 냉면 for w4,000? Some days I've had 팥빙수 once after lunch and once after dinner. I know, I know. Rough life. Public transportation (the subway, buses and taxis) are as accommodating and accessible as ever. Traffic jams aside, I love how it's so easy to get around Seoul. And one of my FAVORITE things about Seoul – cafes on every single corner. I'm writing this blog entry from a doughnut shop across the street from the Myeong-dong Lotte Department Store – sitting on the second floor, next to a huge window, watching as the people and cars rush down and across the street. I could sit here and stare out the window all day.

Cástulo archaeological site

The town of Cástulo had been inhabited since the 3rd millennium B.C. It was the capital of the Oretani tribe of Iberians and played a key role in the wars between Rome and Carthage.
Its importance in the ancient world can be explained by its closeness to the rich mines of the Sierra Morena mountains and its strategic location between the valley of the Guadalquivir River and the central plateau. Its greatest splendour was during the Iberian period, the years of Carthaginian influence (the noble Imilce, who married the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal came from Cástulo) and the Roman period. At its height, it extended over 40 hectares, making it one of the biggest towns in pre-Roman Hispania. Among the most important buildings and excavations on the site are the theatre, the amphitheatre and a temple dedicated to the imperial cult, dating to the Roman period; there are also fragments of the walls and the sewage network, as well as a number of necropolises and Iberian tombs.

Ok, you may wonder why we in our reviews we keep going on and on and on about bread baskets: well, as you imagine it is not the basket itself that we have a problem with, but with the quality, amount, and variety of their content. And to accommodate a decent selection, you need a good basket.
As you see, at home indeed we have no decent basket, so we have to adapt a colander:
but decent bread, we have. Up there you see a selection of plain and sesame rolls, either white or wholewheat, and olive grissini twist, either white or wholewheat. And if you are not a rolls type, then let us go for a loaf: a white one
or a rustic one with durum wheat:
or a rye one:
Now this is not a recipe blog, nor a "here-we-go-bragging-about-how-good-we-are-in-the-kitchen" blog. Our point is simply this: if this is what we, not particularly apt at the stove, can do at home, surely fine Italian dining establishments must be able to do something at least comparable with their professional ovens.
Those who do not, beware...we will feel compelled to shame you!

Agnes came to our Woodbridge dental office with severely damaged upper teeth. She mentioned that she couldn't chew her food properly because of several missing back teeth. Unfortunately, none of her upper teeth were restorable and required extraction. She was understandably concerned about having the teeth extracted and then waiting for the denture to be made. Dr. Cavallo explained that we could extract all the upper teeth and place her upper denture in the same visit. Now Agnes can eat whatever she chooses and has a much improved smile.
Diane came to Dr. Joseph Cavallo embarrassed about her "gummy" smile. After some cosmetic periodontal plastic surgery to remove the excess gum tissue, Dr. Cavallo restored her upper front teeth with esthetic porcelain dental crowns. She now smiles with confidence.
Karen presented to our Northern Virginia dental office with an old plastic filling on her front tooth that was wearing away. After discussing the treatments options with Dr. Cavallo, Karen decided that tooth bonding with an esthetic composite material was the best restoration. The before and after photos speak for themselves. The beautiful results provide Karen the opportunity to smile with confidence.
Steve had been very afraid of having dental treatment done and had been avoiding dental treatment for years. As a result, none of his upper and lower teeth could be restored and required extraction. He was very apprehensive about wearing a lower removable denture because most of his friends were unhappy with the looseness of their lower dentures. Dr. Joseph Cavallo suggested the placement of two dental implants in the lower jaw after we removed the lower teeth. These implants could be used to help stabilize the lower denture. His treatment included a new complete upper removable denture and two lower implants were used as lower denture anchors for a snug and secure fit. Now Steve can eat anything he desires without the concern of the lower denture being loose. Not only did Steve's chewing ability improve, you can see the improvement in his smile as well. "I needed to find a new dentist after a previous bad dental experience. A relative recommended Dr. Cavallo. I had a toothache, and he took care of my problem painlessly. I knew then he would be my dentist of choice to handle the extensive dental work I required. I couldn't be more pleased with the results of my dental care, and would recommend Dr Cavallo to anyone requiring dental work. My mouth hasn't felt or looked so good for many years." - Steve, Northern Virginia Patient
Tom fractured his front tooth as a teenager. The tooth eventually abscessed because of a cracked root.
Dr. Cavallo extracted the tooth and placed a dental implant. After the implant was placed, a dental crown was secured, restoring both esthetics and function.
Tom now has a healthy, confident and pleasing smile.
"Dr. Cavallo's been my dentist since I was little. Simply put I trusted him to quality work, keeping in mind both comfort and aesthetics. I could not be happier with the results. Given a picture of me with the original tooth and one with the implant, I'm not sure I could tell the difference. The implant tooth feels comfortable and looks natural. What more can I say?" – Tom, Woodbridge Patient
This patient came to our Woodbridge VA dental office concerned that her upper front teeth were chipping and wearing thin on their biting edges. Her dental exam revealed the bad bite was causing the wear on the edges of her front teeth. After treating the bad bite with braces, Dr. Cavallo restored her front teeth with beautiful porcelain veneers. She has a more comfortable bite and a most beautiful smile.
