Searching a common surname like Miller is challenging, but even more so because this particular surname is common not in one or two countries, but in many from Ireland and Great Britain and crossing throughout Europe to Russia, German, Poland, Hungary, and more. In the U.S., there are even a mix of races that bear the name. So where does one begin? I started with the few facts I knew and tried to piece together "the rest of the story" through genealogical records. This is the story of the Miller family from Poland – three Miller families, to be exact. Are they related, or are they simply neighbors who shared a common surname?
The mystery began while researching my 2nd great-grandfather's immigration record – but he is not a Miller! Józef Pater, from Żyrardów, Poland, came to the US on 18 February 1905 on the SS Graf Waldersee sailing from Hamburg to New York. On his passenger arrival record, the person there to meet him was listed as "cousin, Carl Mach, Phila. Pa. Palethorp 2518."
The word "cousin" did not always mean a direct blood relationship – it could also be synonymous with friend or neighbor, especially if the new immigrant thought he needed family to be "let in" the new country. But, it could also mean an actual cousin relationship – either between those two men, their wives, or some combination of each. Thus began some extensive research on someone that I was not even sure I was related to in order to determine if a familial relationship did exist. I was curious about who this man was and how he knew my ancestor. If he was related, it's best to leave no clue un-researched – you'll never know what you might find out unless you try.
Further research about the mysterious Mr. Mach has shown no proof of any familial relationship to Józef (Joseph) Pater, his parents, or his wife, Antonina Pluta Pater. In fact, according to census and other records, Carl is ethnically German while the Pater family is Polish. However, Carl's wife, Sofia, was Polish. Because her mother and brothers were living with the Mach's for the 1910 census, I was able to learn her maiden name – Miller. This definitely caught my attention – while Miller is not a family surname for either Józef Pater or his wife, it would become a family name of sorts for their grandchildren when their son, Ludwig (Louis) Pater, married Elżbieta (Elizabeth) Miller several months after the 1910 census enumeration. Is it possible that the two families, or my two great-grandparents, were distantly related as cousins?
Now there were two Miller families – the Miller's related to Carl Mach as well as Elizabeth Miller and her family, a brother. To add to the confusion, for the 1910 census Elizabeth is living with yet another Miller family although she is not listed as a relative. Further research into each of these families shows that they are all from Żyrardów. They are also all living on the same street in Philadelphia. But are they all related? After all, Miller is a very common surname. But is it common enough for there to be so many families in such close proximity that are not related?
As a spelling note, the various records I have used in researching these families show two spellings for the surname, Miller and Müller. These two spellings are used interchangeably for many of the individuals in these posts from all of the families. For the sake of simplicity, I will only use the spelling "Miller". Mach is occasionally spelled as Mack. The following first names are also interchangeable depending upon the record – the first one shown, the anglicized version, will be used throughout these posts: Carl-Karl, Carolina-Karolina, Sophia-Sophie-Zofia, John-Jan, Elizabeth-Elżbieta, Louis-Ludwig, Joseph-Józef.
The Miller's and Mach's
The first family to investigate was Carl Mach and his Miller in-laws. I was able to find quite a bit of information about Carl in records that are readily available. Carl Mach was born on 24 September 1871 in Friedrichsgratz, Germany, the son of John and Caroline Mach. This town is now Grodziec, Poland, located near the current border of Austria and the Czech Republic. Although this is only the birthplace of Carl and not, as far as I can determine, the birthplace of any of my direct Miller ancestors, this town's history adds credence to some of the unconfirmed stories about my great-grandmother. The town was founded by Protestant Czech immigrants, called the Bohemian Brethren, who were fleeing religious persecution in the mid 18th century. The town, then in Prussia, was called Bedrichuv Hradec. In German it was called Friedrichsgratz in honor of Prussia's Frederick II, who was trying to re-settle the area after the devastation of the Silesian wars between Austria and Prussia. The Czech Hradec became Grodziec in Polish. The mix of Czech, German, and Polish settlers were weavers, and many later moved to the larger towns of Łódż and Żyrardów, both of which were places of residence for my Miller families.
Żyrardów is listed as Carl Mach's last residence in Poland on both his passenger arrival records and on his naturalization record. He likely married Sophia Miller around 1895, possibly in Żyrardów. Sophia was born on 27 February 1872 to Carl Miller and Carolina Bornof. On 18 April 1903, the couple immigrated to the United States aboard the SS Pretoria sailing from Copenhagen to New York. The relative they are meeting is Carl's cousin, "J. Helmansh" at 2326 Palethorp Street in Philadelphia. I have been unable to find more information about this individual.
By 1910 the couple is living on 2518 N. Palethorp Street in Philadelphia. Several Miller relatives begin to immigrate, all declaring Carl Mach as their brother-in-law on their passenger arrival records.
First was John Miller who arrived on 22 November 1906. He was 22 years old and from Warsaw, but the list indicated that he had lived in London for the last 3 years. He was going to his brother-in-law, Carl Mach, on 2518 Palethorp Street.
On 27 October 1907, two married women arrive in Philadelphia – 31-year-old Maria Miller and 30-year-old Magdalena Miller. The passenger arrival record is a bit confusing as to the relationship – they are listed as both the cousin and sister of each other. The relative they are going to is Maria's husband c/o K. Mach at 2518 Palethorp. The list indicates that they were met "by cousins, same name, here 4 months."
In the 1910 Census, Carl Mach is listed as the head of the household at 2518 N. Palethorp. In addition to wife Sophia, Kathalina (or Karolina) Miller, age 65, is listed as Carl's mother-in-law. Two brothers-in-law are also residing with them: Carl Miller, age 35, and John Miller, age 29. Both brothers are listed as single; their presumed mother is listed as a widow. I attempted to find passenger arrival records for Carl and Kathalina, but I was unsuccessful so far.
I did find a WWI draft card for John with the right age and address. It lists his birth date as 24 December 1883. He is living at 2519 Palethorp with his nearest relative as Charles Miller on 3200 Lee Street. Is Charles really Carl? There is a WWI draft registration card for Charles Miller, 3235 N. Lee Street, who was born on 09 September 1875 in Russia. He is also a weaver and lists his nearest relative as his wife, Mary Miller. Was Mary the "Maria" on the 1907 passenger list?
Sometime between 1911 and 1917, Carl and Sophia leave the United States and return to Żyrardów. The exact year is not clear because the information is crossed out and written over on Carl's return arrival record. Carl returns to the United States aboard the SS Mongolia, which arrived in New York on 11 September 1923. He lists his sister, Karolina Swoboda, as his relative in the U.S. In 1924, Carl is living at 2519 Palethorp Street. On 23 April 1924, Carl declared his intention to become a citizen and was living down the street at 2540 N. Palethorp.
Sophia joins her husband on April 6, 1929, arriving aboard the SS Hellig Olav that sailed to New York from Copenhagen. I wrote more about Sophia's return ticket in Bank Records: Another Resource for Tracing Immigrants, which was about an unusual record group in Ancestry's catalog, the Philadelphia Immigrant Bank records.
By 1929, the Mach's were living at 2958 N. Lawrence Street in Philadelphia, about a mile away from their previous home on Palethorp Street. His naturalization petition was filed in January, 1929 and finalized on April 25, 1929. They would remain at this address until their deaths. Sophia died on 07 January 1941, and Carl died the following year on 27 October 1942. Both are buried in Greenmount Cemetery in Philadelphia. They did not have any children. The only relative of Carl himself that I was able to find is his sister, Karolina, who was married to Joseph Swoboda. When I went to Greenmount Cemetery to visit the grave of Carl and Sophia, I also discovered the fate of one of the Miller "sister-in-laws". Although there is no headstone for her, Magdalena Miller is also buried there. According to her death certificate, she died on April 1, 1910 and was the wife of Carl Miller of 2536 Palethorp Street.
In Part Two of The Millers' Tale, I'll provide the details on my Miller family and try to figure out how or if they are connected to Mr. and Mrs. Mach.

Lifeguard who lost job after saving swimmer honored
Victim thanks Tomas Lopez for risking job to save him
The former lifeguard who lost his job for leaving his post to save a swimmer in distress was honored Monday by the city of Hallandale Beach.
Tomas Lopez was given the key to the city.
"To see how everything has come together is truly an amazing day," said Lopez.
Lopez also got a chance to meet Maksim Samartsev, the 19-year-old he helped save July 2.
Samartsev was on vacation from Estonia.
"I say thank you for saving my life," said Samartsev.
Miami resident Marisol Azofra also received a key to the city. Lopez, Azofra, a nurse and an unidentified beachgoer helped Lopez by continuing to perform CPR. They were also honored during a special ceremony at City Hall.
Lopez's story gained national attention after he was fired for breaking protocol and leaving his post.
The company did offer his job back, but Lopez declined, telling WPBF 25 News it wasn't his "dream job."
"You know, beachgoers go in and rip tides take them away, so to me, the policy is ridiculous, absurd and actually shows a lack of professionalism," said Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper.
Cooper said the contract with the lifeguard company expires Sept. 30. The city announced Monday that the company would not seek to extend the contract.

How to Install Edging for PlywoodUpdated: Feb. 22, 2023
Tips for installing oak and hardwood edgings for plywood.

Solid wood nosing
Plywood is a great material for building cabinets, bookcases and shelves. But exposed edges usually look unfinished unless they're covered with a layer of wood. While wood veneer tape is one easy way to cover edges, a better method is to glue or nail on a strip of solid wood nosing. It's good looking and durable, and it protects vulnerable edges from abuse in high-wear areas. It also stiffens the plywood, an important feature for shelving. If you make it even wider than the plywood, as we show in this article, the extra stiffness will help keep plywood shelves from sagging. And unlike thin veneer edgings, the wood nosing can be routed to create a decorative edge (Photo 8).
In this article, we'll show you how to glue and clamp wood nosing to plywood and how to sand the top for a perfectly flush surface and nearly invisible joint. Pipe clamps like the ones we're using are available at home centers, hardware stores and lumberyards. They're a good investment. They'll often come in handy for all kinds of gluing projects around the house.
Buy a length of black iron pipe (3/4 in. or 1/2 in., depending on your clamps) that's threaded on at least one end to complete each clamp (2-ft. and 4-ft. pipes are the most versatile). You'll also need a belt sander fitted with a 120-grit belt to sand the edges flush, but 100-grit sandpaper wrapped around a wood or rubber sanding block will also work. It'll just take more elbow grease.
Set up the clamps before you start gluing
Your gluing and clamping operation will go more smoothly if you set up the clamps before you start. That way you can move quickly once you spread the glue. Photo 1 shows the setup we used.
Any straight scraps of wood will work for the clamp pads. They protect the nosing and plywood from the metal clamp faces and help spread the force of the clamps over a wider area. Use spacer boards to hold the plywood above the clamps and flush to the top edge of the nosing.
Start with straight-edged plywood and straight nosing boards
You can use any size and thickness of nosing you want. But 3/4-in. thick strips anywhere from 3/4 to 1-1/2 in. wide are easy to find and look great. If you don't own a table saw, you can cut a clean, accurate edge on plywood by clamping a straightedge to the sheet and using it as a guide for your circular saw.
Hardwood boards for nosing are available at home centers and lumberyards. If you want a 3/4-in.x 3/4-in.nosing, you'll have to rip it on a table saw or have it ripped at the lumberyard. Cut the plywood and nosing to length, or if you need more precision, leave it slightly long and cut it off later.
You don't need much glue
Photo 3: Spread the glue
Press the nosing onto the plywood and move it back and forth to spread the glue.
A thin layer of yellow wood glue is all it takes to make a virtually indestructible glue joint. Extra glue just makes a bigger cleanup job, and it causes the nosing to slide around, making alignment difficult. To get a feel for the right amount, pull off the nosing after you've slid it back and forth on the glue (Photo 3) and look at the back. You should see a thin, even layer of glue covering both mating surfaces. When you apply the clamps, a small bead of glue should ooze out of the seam.
It's difficult to get the plywood and nosing to line up perfectly flush when you clamp them together. Snug up all of the clamps, but don't tighten them. Then push the nosing up or down to adjust it as you tighten the clamps. Hold the nosing slightly above the plywood, about the thickness of a sheet of paper (Photo 4), and sand it flush after the glue dries.
No-Clamp Nosing
If you're painting the plywood or you don't mind the look of filled nail holes, you can simply glue and nail the nosing into place rather than messing with clamps. Predrill holes for the 1-1/2-in. finish nails and drive them below the surface with a nail set.
Then fill the holes with wood filler or patching compound and sand them smooth before you paint, or fill them with matching putty after you stain and varnish the wood.

Don't let the glue harden
Photo 5: Scrape off excess glue
Let the glue set for about 30 minutes until it's rubbery and starts to change color. Scrape off the partially hardened glue with a putty knife.
Cleaning up glue squeeze-out is easy if you catch it at the right time (Photo 5). At room temperature, the glue will set enough for you to remove the clamps and scrape off the excess in about 20 to 30 minutes. Since the glue hasn't reached full strength, you still have to be careful not to jar the nosing loose. Removing the plywood from the clamps frees them up for the next piece and allows you easy access to scrape glue from both the top and bottom.
Dried glue smears are hard to see and can cause trouble when you apply finish to the plywood. Photo 6 shows how to expose dried glue by wiping it with a damp rag. The wetted glue shows up as a white spot that you can scrape off with a sharp-edged putty knife.
Sand carefully to avoid damaging the veneer
Photo 7: Lightly sand the nosing
Scribble a pencil line along the length of the plywood, overlapping it onto the nosing. Carefully sand the nosing with a belt sander and 120-grit belt until the pencil line disappears and the nosing is flush to the plywood.
The top layer of plywood is a thin layer of wood, called veneer. It's easy to accidentally sand through this veneer and expose the lower layer of wood, which doesn't match the surface.
Use light pressure and a fine, 120-grit belt on the belt sander. Stop sanding as soon as you see the squiggly pencil line start to disappear over the glue joint (Photo 7). Be careful to hold the belt sander perfectly flat. Tilting it toward the plywood could cause it to sand through the veneer. Tilting it away will bevel the nosing. If the nosing isn't quite flush, finish by hand-sanding.
There are many other methods for getting the nosing perfectly flush to the plywood. Experienced woodworkers use sharp planes and scrapers. A router with a flush-trimming bit also does a nice job. But both these techniques require practice for ideal results.
If you want to dress up the edge of a plywood shelf, simply rout a shape on the solid wood nosing (Photo 8). Make sure to wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask when routing. Move the router from left to right as you face the shelf.
Oops, I Sanded Through!
Over the years, I've glued on a lot of shelf nosing. And by far the toughest part is sanding the nosing flush to the plywood. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally sanded through the veneer in the process. Usually it's because I decided to remove the last bit of protruding nosing with the belt sander, rather than stop and finish sanding by hand. But even sanding through the veneer isn't a fatal mistake. In most cases you can still use the shelf, and you'll be the only one who notices the mistake.

Rhodes is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, being the administrative centre of Dodecanese complex of islands waiting for you to visit it as an ideal destination for all forms of tourism and all age groups. Rhodes has it all: beaches, nightlife, beautiful landscapes, great hotels, historical monuments, cosy restaurants and an exceptionally mild and pleasant climate. Other than its natural and historical value, Rhodes receives a huge number of visitors every year also because of its extended summer season due to the warmer climate compared to the rest of the country.
Due to its natural beauty and monuments, Rhodes has evolved to a tourist resort with international fame and therefore has built one of the best tourist infrastructures around the country, including some of the largest conference centres in the country. Luxurious hotels, restaurants of all categories, impressive shopping malls can easily satisfy even the most demanding visitor. The island is also famous for its vivid nightlife, where casino has the leading role, and the famous clubs and bars all around the island.
Getting There
The island of Rhodes can be accessed by sea and air. Scheduled flights from the airport of Athens and many charger flights during high season from several European airports make the island easily approachable to the tourists.
Ferry services are also available from the port of Piraeus with ferries or high speed catamarans. The island also connects to other islands of Dodecanese and Cyclades and Crete.
Popular Destinations
Among the so many locations and points of interest Rhodes island has to offer, here are just a few of them you must not miss when you are on the Island. Rhodes has more to offer than sea and sand, and visiting the following places will surely give something extra to remember from vacation.
One of the most attractive destinations on the island is the Valley of the Butterflies, unique in the whole country. During August millions of colorful butterflies seek out areas of high humidity in order to reproduce and this valley next to the river Pelekanos is the ideal destination for them.
The Aquarium of Rhodes as a part of the Hydrobiological Station is located in the northern part of the island and initiated its activities in 1937. Since 1963 operates as an Aquarium-museum and research unit with 28 tanks to house all manner of species such as turtles, dolphins and seals having as main goal to preserve species of the Mediterranean Sea. The Aquarium belongs to the National Centre for Marine Research which is developing its research activities in oceanography, fisheries and inland waters corresponding institutes.
Rhodes has three Doric ancient cities with remains of occupation dating back to 3rd millennium BC and also settlements dating from the Mycenaean-Minoan period. Lindos is a traditionally built village on the foothills of an ancient Acropolis and a medieval Castle and is one of the most impressive archaeological sites on Rhodes. The dramatic natural landscape is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the more modern town. Although you will find the most important archaeological monuments at the acropolis, interesting ruins are also scattered at various points within the town and just outside it. During the summer period Lindos is a busy resort with wonderful beaches and a well known destination for yacht owners. At Filerimos and the ancient city of Ialysos building remains are mainly on the Filerimos hill used as a strong point and also as a place of worship. During the period of Italian rule a 'Golgotha' was built: this was a series of shrines with relief scenes of the Passion, which leads from the square to the west edge of the plateau of the Filerimos hill from which you can enjoy the view. On the north-western shore of Rhodes, lies one more ancient city, Kamiros, where the ruins of an ancient Mycenaean necropolis close to the village of Kalovarda reveal as today
The scent of pine on every breath, rustic bridges and trickling streams set the mood for Seven Springs, found 30 km from the City of Rhodes. Those who want to rise to the challenge can wander around the maize of footpaths searching out the source of each of the seven springs. Lying across the entry road, there is a green lake with turquoise waters nestles in a pine clad gorge, also accessible by a sign posted footpath so as does a tunnel carrying a stream. Many non-claustrophobic visitors walk through the long dark tunnel of, who may also follow the signposted alternate route. Peacocks wander the site too and if they are not to be seen their penetrating cry is unlikely to pass unnoticed.
Kalithea, only 10 km away from the city of Rhodes, is a small bay to host a spa built during the 1920, recently renovated. Today only the domed pavilions and the archways stands, while the water have long-since dried up. The place has crystal clear sea waters and magical scenery of the time consumed buildings.
Rhodes has a lovely coastline and beautiful plateaus on the mountains. Among the countless beautiful beaches of the island, Pefkos Beach is a stunning beach and a prime example of nature's beauty. The color of the water shifts through every shade of blue throughout the day, simply begging for a refreshing dip. There are 35 miles of golden sand, and the beach is certified blue flag which is only awarded for high standards of excellence. Other popular beaches of the island are: Faliraki, Afandou, Kallithea, Lindos, Tsambika, Gennadi and many more, here visitors can relax and enjoy sea sports.
Sightseeing & Monuments
The Medieval City of Rhodes is oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe and has been declared a World Heritage Site. Containing ruins of the Temple of Venus and her offerings dating from the 3rd century B.C., offers an opportunity to loose track of time or direction since there are about 200 un-named streets or lanes explore. 500 years ago Christians used to live here in order to avoid the Muslim Ottoman Empire which controlled all of the surrounding area. Nowadays surprisingly 6000 inhabitants live in this mysterious world where the heart of the city beats, full of shops, cafes, restraints and museums making it a highly visited destination. The giant walls surrounding the city serve as a constant reminder to the intriguing history of this fascinating place.
The delightful Palace of Grand Masters which was constructed in the 14th century by the Knights of the Rhodes, who occupied the area during that period, is located at the end of Street of Knights. Today's structure is a restored version of the original Palace which suffered damages in 1856 because of an ammunition explosion. The two circular towers of the palace and the gate with its pointed arch, on either side of which they stand, is one of the few parts of the structure which survived. However the building remains a must see as it is enormously impressive, where visitors will have the chance to see many impressive rooms with fine pieces of furniture, polychrome marbles, statues carpets, Oriental vases. Among these rooms particular mention should be made of the waiting room, the reception hall, the room of the Medusa mosaic, the room of the icons, the ballroom, the music room and many more, 158 total but only 24 open to public.
The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes was constructed by the crusaders as a hospital in the 15th century. This grand structure took 50 years to build and nowadays it contains 13 collections of different artifacts, some of them are over 2000 years old.
The Acropolis of Rhodes is situated on a hill as it was constructed for defense purposes. Overtime more buildings would spring up stemming from the acropolis turning the original settlement into a town. This extraordinary site consist of the Temple of Athena Polias and Zeus Polieus on the northern edge of the Acropolis, Odeion, Temple of Pythian Apollo, Stoa building, Artemision, Stadium, Gymnasium and the Library.
Things To Do
Faliraki Water Park is one of the most exciting ones being one of the largest in Europe. The selection of slides, lazy river rides, rafting, wave pool, aqua-gym and many other thrills and spills can be a thrill the entire family.
The Ostrich Farm Rhodes makes a fantastic day out for the whole family where especially children will be amazed by the wild and exotic animals on display in this safe and friendly attraction that hosts not only over 120 ostriches, but also camels, goats and donkeys.
The options of outdoor activities in the island due to its size and geological nature can vary. From jeep safari, horse riding and golfing though its modern and fully equipped facilities, to walking, hiking, trekking for nature lovers and scuba diving, Rhodes has something for everybody.
Rhodes also proves to be ideal destination for religious tourism. The Church of Panagi is a remarkable sight to behold with a white washed appearance on the outside and a domed shape with red tiles while the interior flooring is a beautiful black and white mosaic which is common feature of the Lindos area. Also the monastery of Profitis Ilias is situated in the centre of a pine-wooded forest named after the Prophet Elias offering beautiful landscapes with colourful wild flowers. The monastery of Tsampika is a tiny, Byzantine church, dedicated to Mother Mary, located on the top of a hill, offering breathtaking coastal views. The road takes the visitors half way up the hill to follow 350 steps to finally reach the monastery. Another reason that makes it worth, to climb up, is according to the legend, any woman having problems getting pregnant should go up there barefoot, to pray to the Virgin and she will be blessed with children.
Given that Rhodes has always been a crossroad of cultures, the taste and the nutrition information derives from Asia, Europe and Africa. The basis of Rhodian diet was always the Mediterranean one, while most food items come from island's farming and fishing. Due to its warm climate and the soil's diversity and fertility, Rhodes cultivates olives and citrus fruits along with fresh fruits and vegetables such as avocado, arugula and tarragon, all particularly tasty and sweet. Today's Rhodian culinary delights vary from seafood and fresh salads, to meat products, honey and lovely deserts such as belekounia, a sesame and honey sweet.
The wines of Rhodes are world famous for their exquisite taste and high quality since ancient times, with numerous local vineyards and distilleries to produce dry white and red wines as well as sparkling one.

The fact is the excavators found a modern 20th-century Bedouin bracelet and not a Canaanite bracelet
By Robert Deutsch
Tel Aviv
August 2010
The Israel Antiquities Authority Press Office announced:
An extraordinary and unique artifact discovered in an excavation fascinates archaeologists at the Israel Antiquities Authority: A Rare Bronze Horned-Bracelet, 3,500 Years Old. Hypothesis: It was used by the village ruler!
The first known village from this period in all of northern Israel was uncovered in an excavation that took place in the vicinity of Zefat. Funding was provided by the Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Housing.
Karen Covello-Paran, director of the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, discovered a wide rare bracelet made of bronze - adorned with a horned structure, which was the symbol of the storm god, and it represented power, fertility and law. (IAA Press Release).
The fact is the excavators found a modern 20th-century Bedouin bracelet and not a Canaanite bracelet. Ms. Covello-Paran stated that the site was cleaned, deserted, and nothing was found in the rooms. Please listen to her interview at: http://www.foundationstone.org/LandMinds10/page73/page73.html.
Consequently, this bracelet is the key to the dating of the building as recent. The house is on the surface and was visible before the excavation began.
In addition, in a small room (probably under the floor) the archaeologist also found a scarab seal, a bronze toggle pin, and some Canaanite shards of pottery. These finds indicate that the Bedouin house was constructed over a Canaanite burial without noticing it. The scarab, the toggle pin, and various pottery offerings are exactly what one would expect to find in a location of Canaanite burials. Therefore the bracelet dates the building and not the scarab and pottery. This means we can safely state that no new settlements have been discovered in Galilee but merely a single burial site.
It also points out the amateur level of the IAA field archaeologist in understanding the site and the finds. Moreover, the IAA Press Office released the news without checking the facts first with a professional or a team of experts. I am curious to see Ms. Covello-Paran's final excavation report. Recently I checked the IAA web site and was unable to find any news item related to the Canaanite bracelet. Perhaps they have reconsidered their claim following my criticism posted on several blogs.
Comments (2)
It's ironic that Todd Bolen published an article on the Merneptah Stele this week, showing that the scientific excavations produced a later date than what is obvious from the stele. And here in your article is a (supposed) scientific excavation producing an earlier date than what is obvious from the antiquities market.
History is fun!
Will you be offering any of these bracelets in your next IAA-licensed antiquities auction?!?!

Bread knife
My generic bread knife is either not long enough or sharp enough for my Norwich sourdough. I seem to be crushing the loaf. The other issue is I can't slice straight. Do the ones with guides work well at all.
My generic bread knife is either not long enough or sharp enough for my Norwich sourdough. I seem to be crushing the loaf. The other issue is I can't slice straight. Do the ones with guides work well at all.
yeah, that's gorgeous. But a 20 buck bread knife from Dexter-Russel, mundial, or the like will do just as good a job.
As for a guide, practice. Put one long edge of the loaf parallel with the board, and the end your cutting perpendicular, and cut. Few hundred loaves, and you'll be perfect.
to soften the crust with its own moisture. Then it will slice easier.
Most grocery stores have a generic ham slicer for 5 to 10 dollars. They work just fine. Another excellent budget choice is the Rada bread knive. A lifetime guarantee, made in the USA and excellent for ... well, I used to sell them for $10 and make a profit on them. Check eBay.
As dschiedt said, the key is practice. Here are a few tips - let the blade do the cutting, don't force it through the bread. Use the whole knive to cut making long strokes - that will help equalize the wear on the blade and is less effort. Cutting warm bread is usually a mistake, for many reasons.
There's a few more tips, and some videos, at my website http://www.sourdoughhome.com/slicing.html
When I was selling Rada knices at the farmers market, their minimum order was $100. You couldn't just buy A bread knife.
If you like tomatoes, their tomato knife is the bomb. Also, a friend with a bagel shop swars by their bagel knives. They are cheap and outlast much more expensive famous name German knives.
Wow! so are you saying these Rada knives are good for all types of breads (ie: do they cut well through hard crusts), and I don't have to spend $200 on the latest German model of bread knife???
What is the handle made from?
Check this one out (http://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Gourmet-7-Inch-Offset-Handle/dp/B00005U1TW/ref=sr_1_23?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1289191682&sr=1-23). It's super sharp and has a deep blade.
Try a cheap electric knife. 10 bucks at wal-mart
The knives at this sight are excellnt. They are hand crafted and beautiful besides being sharp. I have used my bread knife to slice everything from hard crusted bread to tomatos. www.betterbreadknives.com .
i've been using the Victorinox Fibrox knives for years now. This is my favorite bread knife:
My biggest problem with it is that it's so sharp that it took a chunk out of my bread index one time.
was a rescue my brother made for my mother, she had a rather cheap combination knife sort of meat carving knife/French chef's knife thing, and it wound up with a huge knick out of the blade, so Brian sat and using his chainsaw file set (clamps on the blade, and uses round files and can be set at different angles) notched the rest of the blade at the same depth, and that was the best knife we had. Cut meat, sliced ham, sliced bread, and tomatoes without a problem. Still have it, along with three knife blocks of other knives, and its still the first one I go to!
Brother alwasy told me that slicing bread was not my forte, I can't slice straight for love nor money, but you can get or make a bread slicing guide that is adjustable for the width of your loaf. Not that works well for me either, no counter space. So you get what my mother called mother in law slices, thick on one end and thin on the other!
people have with cutting straight is that a lot of bread knives have just a single bevel , meaning beveled just on one side instead of both. As far as length, I would consider 9 inches to be the minimum, longer would be better.
I also have the popular Victorinox 10 1/2 inch knife, and it suffers from the same problem. With proper attention, one can control the tendency to veer to one side, but with really stiff or hard breads, like vollkornbrot, it is almost impossible to get right. It is a good value, especially with the free shipping from Amazon, but if I were to buy another, I would spend beyond my means a bit and get something else.
Here is another thread on bread knives. Check it out http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/26183/best-bread-knife-maybe

Hey everyone;
Sorry I've been gone so long from the blog. To be honest, the blog isn't a fun thing for me anymore. Not only do I know that the City of Oakland employees regularly read it, there are the haters so I get upset even reading the comments. For these reasons, I think I'll retire the blog or just post events once I get my CUP. Just to clarify for the last time: I didn't get busted for having a business, I got in trouble for growing food and raising livestock in a commercially zoned lot. By the rules now, you can grow and keep livestock at your place of residence, but you can't keep livestock on a lot without a house on it. That's why I applied for a CUP. Oakland changed the rules so you can grow vegetables legally on a lot now (when I got in trouble it was illegal).
But that's not why I'm writing (and that's why I loathe keeping this blog now–having to constantly defend myself; I'm a lover, not a fighter). I'm writing to say something good has come out of this whole thing with the City.
I figured out that I really shouldn't grow vegetables during the summer.
Because I'll had to wait for my CUP for a couple months, I didn't plant any summer crops save for a few tomatoes, beans, and carrots. Bill looked outside and said, "there's not much growing out there," and I said, "I need a break." I realized that I'm exhausted. Plus, the water bill is huge in the summer. Then I suddenly realized the logic: we can grow year-round here in the Bay Area, which is great, but then you don't ever get a break. How jealous I am of those East Coasters who get to sit on their asses all winter long and read seed catalogs. So here's the new plan: Summers Off! I'll get to travel and take camping trips. I'll just keep the trees alive by periodic deep watering, and cover crop the rest of the beds. But what about the tomatoes? The summer cucumbers? I will gladly support my local farmers at the farmer's market. I love it when a plan comes together.
Have a great summer, see you in the fall. For those of you hoping to visit, sorry, no tours until I get my CUP.

Will Barack Obama's reelection be front-page news in your newspaper tomorrow?
Not if your paper has a "jacket advertisement" in this Diwali season, in which case it will technically be on page 3. Not if your paper two jacket ads, in which case it will be on page 5.
In many ways, Indian newspapers have overturned the traditional importance of the front page (the disease now afflicting even The Guardian, London) although there are many media watchers who believe a newspaper is well within its rights to monetise its most important space.
The veteran editor Surendra Nihal Singh addresses the issue in the latest issue of Society magazine:
In this age, the advertisement department has more sway than the editorial. What do you have to say about it?
Nihal Singh: The front pages of mainstream newspapers are plastered with adverts. This is happening very often. These newspapers are killing the essence of the front page.
The Statesman had strict restrictions on front-page advertisements. During my editorship of the paper in Calcutta, the advertisement manager Chandran Tharoor (father of politician Shashi Tharoor) would beg me for an xtra half-centimetre of space for a front-page advert, but I used to turn down his request.
The contrasts could not be starker with today's media. In many newspapers, it is the advertisement department that sets the terms. The newspaper owner has given himself the title of editor.
Then again, the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi was not front-page news in "India's national newspaper". Reason: The Hindu only carried ads on page one in the innocent days of 1948.

For the past dozen or so years, I've been fortunate enough to see Willie Nelson whenever he's been in town. Most of the times I get free tickets (thanks H!), but on at least four occasions (photos 1 and 2), I got stage passes. The most recent show I saw from the side of the stage was on March 15 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Pegi Young (Neil's wife) and her band opened. Photo #3 is the view of Willie and his "little" sister Bobbie, with Mickey Raphael on harmonica in the background. Photo #4 shows the back of a guy's jacket, who was also backstage with a few of his pals. Nice guys...

Yes, the BLOW Hookah is exactly what you think it is: a giant, battery-powered vaporizer for e-smoking your favorite e-juices spiked with flavors, vitamins, nicotine, or other friendly chemicals. It stands over two feet tall, and it looks like a traditional shisha pipe. But there's no tobacco, no water, no flame, and no charcoal -- it's a vaporizer, and it works just like the e-cigarettes or vapor pens currently flooding the market.
Most of the BLOW's actual vaporizer mechanism -- the heating element and the e-juice -- is hidden within the tip of each individual hose. You load up the cartridge of your choice, then snap the end of the hose into the hookah's base. This way, two people can puff at the same time and be vaporizing two completely different concoctions. It works with any sort of vegetable glycerin-based e-juice, which is available from BLOW, from your local smoke shop, or over the web.
The tall center post is mostly battery. A 16,000mAh lithium-ion battery pack provides between 6 and 8 hours of vapage. The addition of a voltage regulator near the hookah's base -- powered by a custom chip designed by BLOW owner Anand Gupta -- is a unique touch. Twist the knob, and you can adjust the power supply to dole out between 3 and 6 volts. The higher the voltage, the higher the volume of e-smoke. So you can decide exactly how vapey you want your vape party to get.
How does it taste? Just like a vaporizer or vapor-pen of any other design. It's nice to be able to dial in the exact thickness of the smoke, though the same voltage is sent to both hoses, so both participants have to agree on how much vapor they want from each puff. BLOW makes a wide range of e-liquids, from the traditional flavors you'd find in Levantine hookah bars to new-world flavors like vanilla, mixed berry, and creme brulee. Some of the e-juices have vitamins, and some have calming chemicals like melatonin or stimulants like caffeine or nicotine. If you want to load it up with recreational fruits and vegetables, you're on your own.
The unit I tested here at WIRED was installed on a giant acrylic stand. The guys behind BLOW, Anand and Fritz, designed it primarily to be used in the VIP sections of high-end clubs, which is what the stand is built for. And yeah, the stand is crazy. Green lasers shoot out of the four corners towards the ceiling, and a vibration-sensor makes the multicolored LEDs inside the opaque stand flash in concert with the throbbing of the bass on the club's sound system. There's even a call button, just like the flight attendant call button on an airplane. Press it and the stand turns red, alerting the server that you're running low on Cîroc.
The Hookah alone costs $800, and comes in black, platinum, gold, or a ridiculously over-the-top bedazzled version. That price includes the glass base. The stand, which comes with a remote control to adjust the LEDs, costs an extra $900.

Video Games May Boost Focus in Kids With Dyslexia
Here's one possible treatment for dyslexia that kids won't complain about: video games.
Italian researchers report that they found that children with the reading disability scored better on tests after they played an action video game for hours, possibly because their minds temporarily became more focused.
It's not clear if video games directly improved the dyslexia in the kids. If it did, no one knows how long the effect might last or whether the strategy is a better approach than traditional treatments. In other words, dyslexic children shouldn't necessarily play a couple of video games and call their reading specialist in the morning.
Even if video games do help dyslexic kids, "we are not suggesting a 'do-it-yourself' training by any means," said study co-author Andrea Facoetti, an assistant professor with the Developmental & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University of Padua in Italy. However, Facoetti said, video games could become a tool for reading teachers who teach kids with dyslexia, a learning disability that prevents people from properly understanding written words.
In the study, one group of 10 dyslexic kids played a Wii video game called Rayman Raving Rabbids for 12 hours over several days while another group played a video game that didn't focus on action.
The kids who played the action game improved their reading speed by as much or more than a dyslexic child normally would in an intense reading program, Facoetti said.
The video games may train the brain to pay more close attention and focus on things, Facoetti said.
The findings deserve to be taken seriously, said Guinevere Eden, director of the Center for the Study of Learning at Georgetown University and a past president of the International Dyslexia Association.
"It's exciting to see an unconventional approach to try to improve the speed or fluency of reading," she said. It's difficult to improve reading comprehension in dyslexic kids because they read slowly, she explained: "By the time they get to the end of the sentence, they can't tell you what it's about."
The difficult therapy to improve dyslexia is another drawback, she said. "It's hard work, and it's not fun."
If video games help kids with dyslexia read more effectively, shouldn't dyslexia cases have fallen drastically in recent decades during the rise of video games? Study co-author Facoetti said the new research can't answer that question because the children tested hadn't played video games before.
Eden, who's familiar with the findings, said: "I don't have a great answer for you, but there are a couple of things: I don't think we have a good sense of whether dyslexia is going up or down because the whole definition is variable. What's interesting here is how it might be that what we think of dyslexia may be changing, not just because of video games but because of technology in general."
What's next? Eden said researchers should focus on trying to understand why video games may improve the symptoms of dyslexia.
While the study showed an association between playing action video games and improved reading scores among kids with dyslexia, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The study was released online Feb. 28 in advance of publication in the March 18 print issue of Current Biology.

Best Corporate Mascot Ever: Petey P Cup
On his Facebook page, Petey P Cup ponders, "Do you ever ask yourself questions like: What if I'm the best mascot EVER?!?!?"
I think the answer is pretty obvious. Petey P Cup is exactly what you think he is - a large, Justin Timberlake-on-SNL-esque mascot extolling the virtues of HealthPartners.com, a non-profit in Minnesota. Like many great mascots, Petey has a sidekick. This one comes in the form of a giant syringe, appropriately named Pokey.
If you could use a pick-me-up today, I highly recommend scrolling through Petey's Facebook wall. This is one cup of urine with a sense of humor - and his followers are right there with him. For example, when Health Partners' hometown of Bloomington was seeing snow in the forecast in October, Petey posted, "They said snow (flurries) for today's forecast. Thanks a lot, Minnesota. (Should I sit out tonight and see if I freeze solid?)"
And he's an optimist: "I just checked and I am way more than half full today. It's going to be a great day!"
Petey won an EFFIE Award in 2009, an honor that recognizes the most effective advertising in the U.S. Well-deserved, I'd say.

Escape Games
Super Scary Escape Games
So if you find yourself looking for a short fright of scary delight, why not check out one of these Scary Escape Games?
Escape games have been around for a long time, made popular by the Myst series. In escape games, players are often presented with puzzles that will have to be solved before the player can move to the next section of the game. These games offer a simple point and click gameplay. Most of them have above average graphics, some offering photo realistic backgrounds for the puzzle. Escape games are most often set in an adventure scenario of some type. Scary escape games are set in horrific situations. Most of these games are found on the web with very few on the home consoles as they are flash based games. These games are best played with a headset and in the dark, alone. Here is a look at some of the best examples of escape games to leave a chill.
Silent Hill Room 304 is a free escape game that is set in the world of Silent Hill. Silent Hill set the bar for the survival horror genre on the home consoles. It will also set the bar for web based flash games. Silent Hill is a mining town in Virginia. The town suffered some horrible accidents which allow the minions of Hell to roam its city streets and buildings. Room 304 takes this setting and places a real life photo realism that will engage the player. The game offers superb sound effects and voice acting. It also features onscreen information about certain objects or paths. Silent Hill Room 304 is well worth the play-through.
Killer Escape 2: The Surgery is another scary escape game that is worth checking out. It is not as detailed as Silent Hill Room 304 but it does offer a nice ambiance. The game takes place directly after the first one. The player is in a prison of some sorts and shortly after the intro, the player is knocked unconscious and strapped to a type of surgery chair. There is a mad woman standing over the player when the character comes to who is about to commit a brutal murder on the player. She is called off by the sound of a guard on an intercom ordering all prisoners back to their cells. Thus begins the escape. It is a fright fest and well worth wasting an hour in the dark.
Ghost Escape is an escape game that has the player enter a haunted house and purge it of the evil spirits within. The gameplay is a simple point and click that anyone can pick up and play. The game offers a little depth to the gameplay by adding a cypher key for the numeric codes which a player must find in order to complete the task. The player must find red candles to complete a ceremony that is being held in the attic. The player will also need to take pictures of ghosts, orbs, hideous pictures, and more. The game offers a nice soundtrack and the graphics are decent for the title. It is very addictive though, even with the timer counting, it is easy to lose track of the time during playing.
