Welcome to 'B.C. Archaeology', the Australian travel company with an emphasis on exploring the cultures and archaeology of the ancient world. Our aim is to provide holidays which are enjoyable learning experiences at an affordable price.
'B.C. Archaeology' is a small travel company which was founded by Dr Michael Birrell, an Australian historian and archaeologist, in 2000. He saw a need for a specialised inexpensive tour experience which catered to those with a desire to travel and learn about archaeology.
The 'B.C. Archaeology' tour programs are specially designed to have an emphasis on the major historical sites of a country or region, and often incorporate a particular theme or historical period. What sets us apart from other tour companies is our emphasis on providing an enjoyable educational experience, small tour group size, and the use of university trained historians and archaeologists as lecturers and guides.
We aim to provide a competent personal service from first encounter to the completion of each tour. Many clients appear to appreciate our attention to detail - that must be why they keep coming back!
The 'B.C. Archaeology' Study Tour is designed to offer more than the usual tour program. Our aim is to combine an enjoyable travel experience with an opportunity to learn about the history and archaeology of the places we visit. We provide a more intensive study of the ancient monuments than the usual tour by spending longer at each of the archaeological sites we visit. The 'Study Tour' format means that we can discuss the historical significance of a site in depth and our lecturers aim to provide a detailed description of the monuments and their historical contexts.
Our tours are good value for money with no hidden costs or extra charges. The programs are run on a 'Bed and Breakfast' basis. Each room is well maintained and normally has private en suite bathroom and air-conditioning. Accommodation is on a twin-share basis, unless a single supplement is pre-arranged. A person travelling on their own will never need to pay extra for accommodation. The hotels and sites are usually close to a range of inexpensive restaurants and cafés which mean that additional costs can be kept to a minimum. There are no set menu meals and no requirements to eat with the group - additional expenses are therefore entirely at the discretion of the individual.
1.	Return economy class flights from Australia on Singapore Airlines (it is possible, however, to request a 'Land Only' Tour which does not include the international flight component).
In addition to studying the ancient monuments, our tours give participants an opportunity to experience and learn about the local cultures of the countries we visit. So often, holiday packages stay in Western style hotels where the participants never really experience the local culture, meet local people or eat the local cuisine. 'B.C. Archaeology' tours provide participants with ample opportunities to talk to local people and we always encourage our guests to sample the local food and to get more out of their travelling experience. We tend to stay in small family run hotels which enable the participants to experience the hospitality and customs of the local people. We also tend to have longer stays and fewer moves, creating a more relaxed tour with less packing and unpacking.
'B.C. Archaeology' Study Tours are designed as educational experiences for anyone with a fascination for ancient history and archaeology. Our aim is to provide an in-depth and scholarly appreciation of the ancient monuments and artefacts which is both accessible and easy to understand. In order to give the tours a more relaxed feeling, Study Group numbers are generally limited to 18 people. This provides an opportunity for discussion, and means that all members of the group can hear and see what is being discussed. It also means that we can better get to know other members of the group during our social activities.
Participants in the Study Tours come from all social backgrounds and range in age from 18 to 80. Many previous attendees have been studying at University but the programs suit anyone with a fascination for the ancient world - there is no assumed knowledge. Extensive notes and plans are provided for each site to facilitate learning and appreciation of the places that are visited.
Each Study Tour is accompanied by two guides. This always includes a university qualified historian or archaeologist from Australia with expertise in the archaeology and history of the Ancient World, and also a local guide who is there to assist with other needs.
Dr Birrell is a trained and experienced field archaeologist who has worked at many sites in both Egypt and Israel. This includes the following sites in Egypt: the Early Dynastic site of Helwan, the Old Kingdom site of Gebel Hawawish, the Amarna Period site of Awlad Azzaz and the Roman Period site of Ismant el-Kharab in Dakhleh Oasis. In Israel he has worked at the following archaeological sites: Megiddo, Tell Yoqne'am, Tell Nami and Tell Lachish. Dr Birrell maintains close contacts with ongoing archaeological fieldwork and is often able to include visits to currently operating excavations in his tour programs. This enables tour members to really see and experience something more than just the standard archaeological sites.
B.C. Archaeology always employs expert local guides to assist with tour programs. The Company is very careful to choose qualified and experienced guides who have a passion for history, who have good communication skills, and who do not act on a commission basis.

Q: Multiple Line plot from a dataframe from a dataframe I need to plot by month the count of events to know which ones are more likely to happen in a given month. I don know how to use the column Count.
df["MONTH"]= pd.to_datetime(df["BEGIN_DATE_TIME"], format = "%m/%d/%Y").dt.month
montly_events =df.groupby(["EVENT_TYPE", "MONTH"]).size().astype(int)
montly_events2 = montly_events.to_frame(name = "Count").reset_index()

plt.figure(figsize =(15,3))
sns.lineplot(x="MONTH", y="EVENT_TYPE", palette="ch:.25", data=df)

A: IIUC, count is another column in your df, try to make that as a 'y', the one that you have included here as screenshot
Try
sns.lineplot(x="MONTH", y="count", palette="ch:.25", data=df)

A: This was the solution I found using a barplot:
g = sns.FacetGrid(montly_ev2, row="EVENT_TYPE", hue="MONTH",palette="Set3", height=4, aspect=2)

g.map(sns.barplot, 'MONTH', 'Count', order=hours)

Come on! More 5100 talk please!
I use their scanner software (Collab) and Exocad. It can also put stl files for 3Shape format as well.
Printing denture base, film is not supported in center. Large cross sections cause stress in center, result in tearing of film.
Yeah that's weird, especially since there is no peel associated with this printer's operation - the physical part is never in contact with the membrane.
Hi Kostisg, I am interested in the Flashforge Hunter 3D printer. You're the only one who's mentioned this printer on here so far. Can I trouble you for more information about it? Like what kind of prints do you do? Have you had any problems with it? Which resins do you use. Plus any other opinions you may want to share about it would be great. You can also PM me if you prefer. Thank you.
FABPRO 1000 = Miicraft 125, isn't ?
i have had an asiga max for few months now its been faultless and support has been great. have a look at the forums on facebook you will see im not the only one who has had this experience.
As far as saving time goes, this all depends on how many models you are pouring vs the build platform size and x,y,z print deminsions (Not to mention scanner speed, building the model design file, and how fast you can nest models). We're talking roughly 10 minutes (give or take a few minutes) from scan to nest per case (then post print cleaning as CoolHandLuke pointed out). Printing models may not turn out to be faster start to finish compared to pouring, but it does free you up to work on other things while they print (which honestly isn't a whole lot longer than waiting for stone to set up).
As for the fit, most people that go model-less use a printed model for establishing interproximal contacts because the crowns won't seat properly. I would be worried that manufacturing crowns directly on a printed model would result in a ill fitting crown at delivery. Stone deals with expansion, whereas print resin deals with shrinkage rates. Unless these issues have been resolved in the last few months and I'm out of the loop.. I wouldn't believe every word the rep is telling you. Many people have bought printers in the past that end up not being what they hoped.
If you were to come up with other reasons to buy a printer besides just the printed models then it could be worth the investment. I don't want to sound discouraging but the hype of 3D printers and digital tech causes us to buy based on emotion when it may not be a good fit. I just don't know of anyone buying a printer just for models (other than high production labs).. it's more of an additional feature than a primary use if that makes sense.
If you do continue to get a printer though I hear great feedback about the Asiga Max from everyone who uses this. It's open system and has precise Z print resolution (1 micron). The Kulzer doesn't look bad either but has a minimum Z resolution of 30 microns... which may not matter for the most part on models, but might make a difference later if you want to print crowns, bridges, etc. I probably wouldn't go with the Structo. It's more expensive and closed system. It seems best suited for printing models, but you could buy 2 of the other ones for that price. Print models in one and restorations in the other.. If it was me buying right now, I would go Asiga Max.
Go Moonray, faster than form2 and more versatile.
brandon patrick you print models because how else are you going to get something to work on when you get a digital scan from the dentist which is happening more and more every day.this is fine with me the digital scans are better 95% of the time than i would get from rubber impressions from my dentists its advisable to get a printer that is truely sorted so you can start printing great models straight away when this happens you you shake your head and just wish that you had this tech years ago ,life is much simpler when you use these beautiful models.
Of course that's why we print models.. I'm not saying it's not valuable. For small labs who don't have a large volume of models to push through the printer, is it worth thousands of dollars to purchase a cool piece of equipment just to have it (especially if your docs aren't investing in an IO scanner)? Not to mention those who look around and could use that money to replace any given thing in their lab. The question asked was whether it saves time and is more efficient to scan impressions, not receiving digital scans.. As for cost per model, with die stone you're looking at roughly 30 cents per model (at 100g of stone per model),about 20 cents per stone articulation, and 10 minutes of actual work involved pouring and articulating at $20/hr you're looking a total of about $4 total cost... and the only exaggeration I made was average model techs making $20/hr. Printing hollow models with a cheaper resin will cost that much per arch, before adding in (an exaggerated) $20/hr pay for a scan tech. If you're outsourcing for printed models then I certainly see how that cost can motivate one to invest in a printer. I can't even address the quality of impressions because that will vary by doc, but stone models can be beautiful too I'm just presenting another perspective and hopefully anyone making this kind of purchase would consider every aspect.
hi brandon i agree that pouring models in stone for rubber impression is the cheapest way to go .but when i use bredent model resin for a full arch or an implant model at 15 dollars a go single use its not so clear cut.especially when you add the gum replica and the techs time to do all this. the other thing i find very cost effective is when you want to make a geller model with removable dies the printed models are much cheaper and better quality over all. i had a similar view to yours a couple of years back but i was forced to look at printing and milling models because my clients were starting to get ios 's and i was starting to loose clients' owning a printer has turned that around. i picked up 3 new clients yesterday which was great because i flicked an old 5hitty rubber impression guy who was endless remakes.i get that you have dentists that dont want to go digital but being ready when they do is very important. great to talk to you .regards grantoz if you have any questions about printers dont hesitate to message me.
I see a Hunter by Flashforge next to it. Can anybody comment on that one? It's hard to find reviews on it for dental applications. Thanks.
We looked into the printer option but it wont save you any time in my book. We just pour a check die and then a solid and that has been the fastest way for us so far. I still would not mind getting a printer for doing some diagnostic case planing and to use on a few of those drs that are sending scans. But it would take forever to make it worth while. It takes a special dr to give me a impression that I feel good about just scanning it and having something that is going to fit. Its bumpy road and you better make sure there on board with this trial run with you, otherwise its by by doc.

Queen Mary Long Beach
Depending on your experience with Long Beach, it will call to mind one of two things:
The majestic Queen Mary, former world class ocean liner, current heritage icon; or
The majestic Snoop Dogg, former world class rapper, current Katy Perry back up singer.
On this visit to Long Beach, we're checking out Queen Mary. As much as we love Snoop Dogg, he's a bit hard to pin down (particularly when his marijuana love gets him turned away from performing in countries we're in).
The construction of the Queen Mary began in Clydebank, Scotland, in 1930. Construction was stalled for several years during the Great Depression. Despite the economic setbacks of the time, she was completed and left Southampton, England, for her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936.
There's a delightful story around the ship's naming. Apparently with ship naming conventions, Cunard ships had a tradition of being named with ia as a suffix – Mauretania, Aquitania, Berengeria — and the ship had been intended to be named Queen Victoria.
When the directors asked King George for his blessing of the ship's name, they explained to him it was going to be named after the greatest queen, but left off the fact they were referring to his grandmother. Instead, he assumed they were talking about his wife, Queen Mary, and told them how delighted she would be to have it named after her.
For years royalties and celebrities stayed aboard this luxury liner. But when World War 11 started, the ship was repainted with camouflage colours and transformed into a troopship, nicknamed The Grey Ghost. After the war, she was returned to her former glory and cruised for another two decades. Her final cruise was in October 1967, and she docked at Long Beach in December 1967.
The former ocean liner is a diverse tourist attraction these days, offering drinks at the deck bar, Sunday brunches, exhibits like Diana: Legacy of a Princess and Bob Hope: American Treasure, and a variety of tours. It's also a hotel, and you can also state in one of 346 original first class staterooms and suites.
As we're only around for an afternoon, we choose the Ghosts and Legends Tour. While it is not particularly scary, it is hilarious. The tour guide is theatrical and over the top, and I can barely understand her American accent (sorry American readers, I have as much trouble with your accents as you do with my Aussie one!). But she has a definite tone of seriousness and urgency to her tour.
Our small group is taken on a tour of the underbelly of the ship. We check out the boiler room where the temperatures were sweltering and many emergencies happened. My favourite part of the tour is in the old swimming pool. There's always something creepy about abandoned swimming pools, and it feels freezing this far down into the ship.
Our guide tells us that people are regularly seen swimming in the pool… despite no water being in it. I giggle at the thought of ghosts, and we get water flicked up on us as we walk past the empty pool.
At one point of our tour, our guide seems slightly exasperated with our little group for not running quickly enough with the "emergency" of flood water that is supposedly careening down the hallway. In fairness to our group, one elderly gentleman does have a walking frame!
After our tour, we settle in for a drink at the authentic 1930s Observation Bar. It's beautiful and quiet, and we relax with a Pimms Cup. After a quick peruse around the boat and the beautiful sunshine, we're back on our way.
We're hoping for a trip back in 2016 – there's a science center and museum planned which I'm really excited about. And it would be lovely to stay overnight onboard!
NB: I double checked the Queen Mary website for information about the tour we did and saw this note: PLEASE NOTE: Ghosts and Legends is currently down for repair. We will substitute ANY tour for Ghosts and Legends while it is down. Thank you for your understanding.
Hours: MON-THURS 11AM – 6PM, FRI-SUN 11AM – 9PM and takes approximately 35 minutes
Pricing: Available as part of any of our tour packages – The Queen Mary Passport, or the First-Class Haunted Passport. Groups of 15 or more may call 562-499-1623 for discounted group rates.
Parking: $15 (Subject to change based on Special Event schedule here.)

First, you just made me wish there was a cruise ship called The Majestic Snoop Dog. But second, this sounds like a lot of fun, and the views are gorgeous!
haha! Maybe it's just a tad too different to the traditional naming conventions for ships 😉 I was surprised at how beautiful Long Beach was, it's a really nice place to spend a lazy Summer's afternoon and evening.
Wow, I love how old that cruise ship is! It's so cool to see what is now almost an "antique" as far as ships go!
It's just gorgeous! And it had this fantastic vintage clothing store onboard, too. I really wanted to buy a couple of handbags, but we were in Long Beach to see the Aussie embassy after I'd had my passport stolen, so we had to conserve funds. Good reason to visit again. 😉
Lou @ Mommy Sanest says:
First, I was assuming you meant Snoop Dog's Long Beach, obvi. And second, I have an accent?!?!?! 😉
The tour sounds fantastic — I like a good ghost story. Did you really get water flicked at you? That sounds a bit spooky.
Haha! You probably have a very mild accent, Lou. When we traveled through the Deep South, you should have seen the confusion when an American and I would have a conversation. They'd scream "you have an ACCENT" because they'd never heard one before (we went to some errrr unusual parts of the deep south, needless to say) and it would take me minutes to decipher what they'd said to me – they may as well have been talking in Thai!
And yes! The water flicking up out of the empty swimming pool was a cool touch. 😀
Tianna says:
gorgeous photos! The Queen Mary is such a cool place to visit. I love going to their Halloween events

Ahhh I can imagine it would be fantastic on Halloween! It's creepy enough as it is. Kinda like a mix between the Titanic and The Shining. 🙂

Today, more than ever, the solutions to the problems of the planet will have to come from the unity of all beings that live there. This is the motive for this proposal for development called The Aquarian World Alternative. It is based on a political movement that simultaneously, in all countries of the planet, promotes the same ideals and identifies with the same symbol. This movement could well be called "Another world is possible", in reference to this well-known movement and its successful slogan.
4 – The arts, culture, media and education shall be reoriented at raising consciousness. Therefore, educators and journalists should reorient their work towards this lofty goal. The media and public schools shall amend their programs to accommodate this precept. These new media broadcast over the Internet thanks to awaiting technologies such as the proposed satellite systems ROSAE-MIRIAH. The systems inventor, the aerospace engineer Bill Grisham, wishes to donate his discovery to all humanity. (www.billgrisham.us and http://www.theallseeingeye.org ).
11 – Nature shall be deemed as "heritage of all humanity" and not merely a few enclaves as in the past. Remaining problems with water and resources shall be dealt by treaties within the framework of local bioregions, tackled by the whole of mankind.
13 – Through this solemn declaration, the people of Planet Earth shall be allowed to make contact with peaceful civilizations of other galaxies. Censorship of the UFO phenomenon shall be lifted and replaced by the "decade of contact".

What should I do for the ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED APPLICATION. - N400. ?
I passed the citizenship test on Apr 10,2019 . The officer said my Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence I-751 is still pending. Then, the officer told me to provide more documents by uploading the requested document online. and I don't need to re-apply for the citizenship test again.
2. Bank / financial statements that show that we have financial connection to each other (once again, to prove that the marriage is authentic).
However, I try many times to upload the files but I can not upload any files, then I saw my update status change to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED APPLICATION.
" RE: N-400, Application for Naturalization NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED APPLICATION Dear XXXX XXXXX : This letter refers to your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, filed on August 18, 2018. Based on the pending I-751, your Form N-400 has been administratively closed at this time."
I checked the processing time on https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ for Vermont Service Center , the Receipt date for a case inquiry is now October 03, 2017.
so I submitted the Outside Normal Processing Times. , USCIS replied "We are still reviewing your case. We will mail you a notice when we make a decision. "
In this case, What should I do to ask them to kindly reopen my N400 application again? I try to upload the documents as they requested but since the case was closed, I can not upload any files on the USCIS website.

Stevie Food Belongs in Bellies, Not on Display
Kara Kralik
The other day my friend and I were at Stevie and wanted to get some fruit to take home. There were no apples available in the large fruit containers in the main room. There were only oranges and bananas, but my friend had spotted some shiny Granny Smiths and Red Deliciouses in one of the side rooms where the beverage fountains are located. We went over to grab some apples, but were stopped by a student employee, who informed us that we were not allowed to take the apples. She said she was sorry, but she was on duty and we couldn't take the apples. While I am aware that taking food out of Stevie is against the rules (although widely practiced), it seemed that we would not even have been allowed to take the apples to eat while at Stevie because they were serving a higher purpose as decorations.
This revelation was disturbing to me for a number of reasons. First of all, the fact that we live in a society so gluttonous as to reserve perfectly nutritious and eatable food as a decoration, to display it while actually preventing anyone from eating it, its ostensible and arguably its best purpose, is supremely wasteful. In addition, it was clear from the fact that there were only five apples left in the large bowl that people had already been stealing them, and thus whatever aesthetic value they may have had was dwindling as they sat there awkwardly not filling up the space in the bowl. Some of the fruit had also begun to go bad, and though I could have taken a bruised apple home, cut off the bruise, and eaten the still tart, juicy, and delicious 75 percent of it, it was destined to sit and be admired as it rotted away.
There are lots of fruits and vegetables put on display in Stevie everyday, and it is also very common for them to be stolen and taken home to be eaten by students. But should this really be considered an infraction? Putting food to its actual use? It seems like simple common sense. After all, are bowls of slowly degrading produce really improving the aesthetic experience of eating at the dining hall? Would student morale really suffer if, instead of sitting on counters as decorations, the food were cooked and eaten?

'Heroes' is Back with 'Heroes Reborn' and I'm Already So Bored I Want to Cry
I think I may be a little bitter about this. Heroes, in my opinion, had its chance. It had multiple chances. Its first season was wonderful and then came that horrible finale… and then the horrible second season and the even horriblier third season. Despite an amazing premise and start, the show insisted on sucking more and more with each passing episode until it sucked itself right off the airwaves and, by that point, not even its most dedicated fans shed a tear. It was like hearing about that estranged family member who finally dies of a drug overdose. You're not happy about it, but seriously… what did he honestly expect to happen?
Now, in a world of cancelled quality television shows like Firefly, Almost Human, and dozens of other properties that were never given a proper shake, Heroes is back with Heroes Reborn, a quasi spin-off and partial sequel to the bungled up science fiction series that started it all. NBC called it "groundbreaking," but it was only "groundbreaking" in that you wanted to dig a hole to bury it in.
Still, I'm going to give it a chance. Heroes, to me, is like M. Night Shamaylan. Started amazing, turned terrible, then became insulting to the point that I was openly hostile to it and yet… I want it to be good. I want it to be great again. I want it to live up to the potential that I know is there. I want this new series to be good.
What we got instead was… pretty much more of the same convoluted bull. Too many characters, a vague threat, vaguer powers, no real antagonists, and not a single resolution in the entire two episode premiere. This new and improved Heroes has only just started and I'm already bored to tears.
If you were one of the twelve people who were still watching Heroes when it crawled off the airwaves to die, you remember that the final scene had the immortal cheerleader Claire reveal her superheroness to the world. Five years later, the indestructible cheerleader is killed in a terrorist explosion which sets the normal humans against the "evos" who all run and go into hiding despite the fact that that, you know… have superpowers and could probably turn their enemies into globs of screaming burning Jell-o by snapping their fingers.
Nitpicking aside, Mr. Bennett – the horn-rimmed glasses man – is rustled back into the plot by a conspiracy theorist who tells him that he thinks that there was something more to the explosion than the public was told. Meanwhile, a girl who can Tron herself into video games tries to find her father who is also Tron'ed into a video game. Meanwhile, a woman tries to con a superpowered douchebag out of some money. Meanwhile, Peter Pan has to keep his Nightcrawler Bamf'ing powers a secret. Meanwhile, Chuck and his wife try to kill evos.
Just watching this show made me upset because, despite the hype surrounding it, I can already tell that it's going to devolve into the same plodding idiocy that Heroes was when it first crashed and burned. There's really no reason for this spinoff to exist other than NBC wanting to get in on the superheroes craze and believing that the stink has finally wore off of the Heroes pile.
The most infuriating things is, it wasn't terrible… It wasn't good, either, but it wasn't terrible. It was so frustratingly mediocre and did absolutely nothing to be remembered. I don't remember character names, I can barely remember who had what powers, and I can't remember a single memorable sequence. The most damning thing that I can say about Heroes Reborn is that… it just happened and seemed content with just happening.
The Flash can be amazing in an hour… Heroes takes two hours to just be. It's the same garbage from last time and watching it makes me feel like I just saw my ex-girlfriend from across a restaurant and now she's sitting at my table, talking about how great our relationship once was while all I can think about is what a terrible relationship it was and wondering why the heck she came over here in the first place.

Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE248 hands-on
When the Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE248 was released a month ago, I had a cautious enthusiasm for it, but reserved the final right to decide when I can see it in the metal. The vibrant blue and gold tone layout looks good at the press conference, but as we all know, sometimes renderings do not always translate into the delivered product. I hope to see this situation more in the future, and not limited to Grand Seiko. I hope to see the two-tone scheme limited to the case, while leaving the bracelet in the steel. It sounds good, but there is no old-fashioned feel. This is what many of us imagine when hearing the "two-tone" watch. For future versions of SBGE248, will I make an important thing in the list? A new bracelet. Although I like the beauty of the two-tone case on the all-steel bracelet, as with the previous models, I am eager for extra refinement and quality on the dial.
In an article in the New York Times in 2010, Japanese watch collector and former GPHG jury member Dr. Bernard Cheong talked enthusiastically about the brand, but has long sought more design diversity. He said: "I think that as foreign customers begin to accept fake Grand Seiko, the company will start making other shapes and designs sooner or later," which is completely correct. Since Grand Seiko announced it as its own brand in 2017, it has grown and grown, especially in the United States.
As a relatively mainstream GMT luxury watch, SBGE248 is the perfect realization of this evolution, intentionally or unintentionally seeking to directly occupy more of the Western market traditionally occupied by Rolex. This is neither new nor surprising, but SBGE248 tried to do so without the incentive to drastically lower the price, which is a bold move by Grand Seiko.
In terms of execution, falling on the perfect shade of blue may be a single "make or break" design point. In a bright or well-lit environment, the end result is vibrant, but I also found myself almost admiring it in a dark environment, and it seemed to be cooling. Please see the picture above to understand what I mean. ) I think it's hard not to look at this watch and think of the Rolex Submariner 116613LB with a blue and gold case. Personally, this is one of my favorite Rolex models, although I have always hoped that it will shine like the SBGE248. With the right light and the right angle (as shown in the picture above), you can see the subtle royal purple short westerly wind on the SBGE248. The important difference is that this purple hint is not always present, it reveals more complex color performance in Grand Seiko. Not that this is a comparison-anyone will be lucky to own any of these watches.
At this time, almost every luxury (and quasi-luxury) watch brand adopted ceramic bezels on their watches. However, Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE248 still retains this rare component, which has a sapphire crystal insert on the rotating bezel. Compared to ceramics that remain relatively uniform, the sapphire crystal on the bezel allows for greater changes in the shades of blue. This is why the black border version will appear in different colors, such as the light gray blue here.
You would not expect a watch with gold hands and hands to be so clear and anti-glare, but this is not the case. Brush your hands to make it non-reflective, which is where Grand Seiko stands out. The blue gold is breathtaking, and the interaction between the two should be a role model for other brands. The hour, minute and GMT hands are all charming, as are the hour hands at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. There is enough poetry in this article, so I will let my photos play an important role here.
Regrettably, this is not a valid model, so I did not see the movement of the 9R66 Spring Drive movement so smooth in seconds. You can read all about Spring Drive here, and the 9R66 GMT movement has a three-day power reserve. The stainless steel bottom cover of the stainless steel lion carving has not changed. Considering the waterproofness of 200M, this is a necessary move.
SBGE248 has a width of 44 mm and a thickness of 14.7 mm, which is one of Grand Seiko's larger products, but the curved short lug can achieve a lug-to-lug distance of 50 mm, which is very wear-resistant. My wrist measures exactly 7.5 inches on the circumference for reference. I think that the process of using gold throughout the case is fairly balanced and not subtle. However, to clarify, results that are too "subtle" will fail for vibrant blue and gold watches. I think it will not be difficult for you to have the opportunity to introduce Grand Seiko to strangers, because you will receive a lot of comments.
Although Seiko-manufactured watches are still incredibly valuable compared to their counterparts in Switzerland, not all best quality replica watches can provide this functionality-they shouldn't, given the products offered. Seiko's dials, hand-processed, Zaratsu case polishing and craftsmen are exceptionally special in their field of expertise. They are Seiko's "selected and selected" luxury watch brands on par with the general suspects in Switzerland.

In Australia, Lithium was the treatment of choice. My doctor-friend back home was shocked. "But lithium has such a narrow treatment window!" By this she meant that the difference between effective and toxic was very small, and that it was a risky drug to take.
The new psychiatrist gave me 45 minutes, not 12. She was warm and very Zen - I thought I'd found a good one. She continued my treatment with Effexor and Mirtazapine, but at some point she felt I was getting wound up.
Well heck, I had just moved 14,000 miles, brought my cat of 17 years (who died at the age of 19, after enjoying Paradise for 2 years), left my community, my friends, my family - and my husband was working full time. I sat on the back porch and smoked.
So when she felt I was not "responding" like she thought I should - and true confessions, I was making a major mistake too - she switched me to lithium and Effexor. Eventually the Effexor went away, and a tricyclic replaced it, and Seroquel for sleep. At some point, I quit the tricyclic, and became suicidal (and confessed that to her), so she put me on an SNRI.
My mistake? I told her all of my feelings, everything that was happening to me. I relished the drama of the big move, and my aloneness, and she was one of the few people I could talk to - so I did. And I got drugged for it. And since I had already bought into the "broken brain" thing, I took the drugs.
1. Take "meds" as prescribed.
2. Sleep every day as needed.
3. Eat every day as needed.
But I was still depressed, unrelentingly depressed.
I sat on the back porch and smoked and read and smoked. I have a list of the books I got out of the library during that time. There were about 300 of them. I only remember a few.
Hubby told the therapist - "I wish she would do something."
I spent my time at the "Club" - playing Pokies (one armed bandits) and entering raffles. Or at chemists - buying skin care stuff to go with my drugs. And smoking on the back porch.
I joined a karate club, but there were a lot of dramas with that, too. I kept trying, and I credit karate and my sensei for accepting me as I was, and letting me train, even when I was in bad shape. I gained 50 pounds. There was no music in the house, I couldn't figure out how to fly my genius musician husband's equipment, and I'd sold all my equipment to leave the States (different electric here, anyway).
Karate went through many iterations - a national club, an independent club, acquired by an international affiliate which blew up in huge drama, then I followed sensei to a "rugby karate" club where I got hurt and couldn't keep up with the young people. With all of these changes, I never advanced - the goalposts kept moving. I've now been training in karate since 2004 - 14 years, and I'm still just 1st Kyu (almost a black belt, but not). Out of respect for my dedication and time, Sensei has called me "Shodan-ho" which is "provisional black belt," but I still haven't tested for it, haven't earned it.
So Karate was the light of my life - and a frustration, too. When the rugby karate hurt me, I felt I had nothing. But - with karate I came to a point where I could not run across the gym without getting palpitations (now I know they are PVC's) and breathless. This spurred me to dedicate 3 months to quitting cigarettes. That was the start of my healing, but it didn't stop the palpitations or breathlessness like I expected.
One of the services in Australia is "Pharmacist Review," and my GP recommended it. The pharmacist came to my home to review my supplements and drugs. I thought she was going to balk at all of my fish oil, Vitamin C, glucosamine and CoQ10. But no - she took me off a PPI, Proton Pump Inhibitor. Okay then. That was easy enough - and it started me thinking about - if that drug was harmful, what of my other drugs were harmful?
I looked to the statin, as I was having severe muscle weakness. I tapered it. (I did it backwards, I didn't know better - I should've tapered the PPI, and just quit the statin).
As I started feeling better, I found Robert Whitaker's "Anatomy of an Epidemic," and I haven't looked back.
10 Years of lithium damaged my kidneys (they still act up - diabetes insipidus), gave me metabolic disorder, probably contributed to the gut biome problem I'm working on now. But worse than all of that - the lithium didn't help at all. It numbed me to everything, leaving me with deep anhedonia, I cared about nothing. I went through the motions.
I decided - I was unhappy. If I was so unhappy on the drugs - well, I had a lifetime of experience with being unhappy. I could be unhappy without the drugs. So I found SA and started tapering.
I was lucky that I found SA before I started my taper. I had been planning to do the 10% but there was so much more to learn than just the 10% tapering plan!
I still want to write a letter to that psychiatrist. I have another friend who still goes to her. She was gentle, and she did support my taper, though she thought I was going too slowly, and she expressed her doubt that I could get off the drugs. She said she had seen lots of people who want to come off, but very few who successfully do.
I've been wanting to finish this story for months, so - now it's a complete record in SA's recovery stories.
Amazing how we come to know ourselves, JanCarol. It's been wonderful seeing you resume your blooming.
Thanks, as ever, for being part of our community.
........and I can so relate to some parts of your journey.
Especially reading Robert Whitaker's book, when I did.......and then the timeline around that.
I'll get to doing one of these someday........success story.
This is one of my regularly scheduled threads!
Hey Jan Carol, we have chatted before, not sure.
my symptom is primarily anhedonia, and everything that comes with that.
Can you comment on what this was like for you, and is like now??
Anhedonia was probably my worst symptom, too.
The drugs made it, and as I withdrew (over 2 years) it was like crawling out of a mudpit. Very slow, very gradually, my head poked above the mud. Then, as I continued tapering, when I was about halfway through the taper, my eyes, my senses were out of the mud, and my anhedonia had converted to lethargy and fatigue, as my legs were still striving through thick mud.
I cannot tell from your signature how you came off the drugs - it looks like you did a fast taper in only one month? Please, can you update your signature to include what doses you were taking when you quit?
Anyhow, the reason that is important is - it took me 2 years to come out of the mud. By 1 year I could see I was going to make it - but that was a slow, careful taper. If you CT'd or fast tapered, you may have a different timeline, or, even if it is the same timeline, you have been off the drugs less than a year. In my experience here as a moderator, it seems that the CT people experience similar timelines to slow tapers, but with more symptoms and intensity of symptoms.
I reckon it is important that you not rock the boat - simple diet, simple supplements (magnesium and fish oil), and do not take anything to try and "fix" things. You may be tempted to take something to sleep, or to drink to "feel something," but resist that urge. It will only delay your recovery. Slow and steady wins the race in withdrawal!
I came here today to report that I'm dropping balls. I added "teaching tai chi" to my schedule, so now I am struggling to get library books returned, missed a yoga class, and my delayed cycle sleep is rampant again.
I can only keep so many balls up in the air. I want to believe that I can expand and grow, but it's vitally important to tend to my limitations, too. Rest is vital. Alone time is essential. If I go-go-go-go, then I will drop balls. Since the tai chi ball is so important to me, it's vital that I not drop that one.
I had visions that I would distribute flyers (I've distributed a few) every week, write an article for the local paper, contact other helpful possibilities to spread the news about my class, but I've been doing well to be where I am supposed to be, do what I'm supposed to do, and get home to hubby to rest.
I'd love to have the stamina and energy to do more, but seeing as how I'm dropping balls - there does seem to be a limit as to how much I can take on.
I'm not sure how to update signature, can you let me know??
I was on a crazy, unjustified amount for a short time. seroquel 250, olanzapine 10, Mirtazapine 30, lex 20. For about three months, came off over the space of 7/8 weeks.
21 months ago. 21 months clear, anhedonic 90% of time. Had my strongest window yet 4 weeks ago. My best week in two years. Back to zombie mode now. Any idea of a time frame I should expect?? thanks for getting back to me.
hope you rediscover a sense of balance!
This gives me hope for one starting out on this process of reclaiming myself from medication. Thank you for sharing the extensive notes about the process, what helped, how you helped yourSelf.
Had my strongest window yet 4 weeks ago. My best week in two years.
YAY!!!! That means you will heal. You had a whole week of window.
Hang in there - it's hard to do when you don't care (anhedonia) - but you know that you are healing, you've had a window. That's the first peek above the mud. It will get better!
Time frame? It's different for everybody. It depends a lot on your ability to surf the symptoms, learn from them, and integrate the lessons - which is not an easy task.

So - other news. I'm through the "killing and shedding" phase of my gut biome change, and into the "new gut bugs" phase, and I'm liking it.
I did an "allied health" appointment with the nurse at my GP's office. If I do this "allied health" thing, Medicare will pay for my next 5 osteopathic (or chiropractic, if that's what you prefer) appointments. That's not even private health cover - but the government program!
Anyhow, at the allied health appointment - all of my measures of health are greatly improved since I started this journey. I am 13 kilos lighter (that's almost 29 pounds!), my blood pressure is awesome - she reported my resting heart rate at 48 bpm (I didn't know I was that healthy!). My fasting blood sugar could be better, but it's not a concern, my cholesterol is improved (look, ma, no statins!). She kept trying to find drugs that I have been on that I am still taking, but only the thyroid. Only the thyroid. ONLY the thyroid! (how many times I said it, I don't know).
So - a new osteopath, one treatment and it is helping. I have been having shoulder and neck pain, and the adjustment (no crunching, I don't know how he does it) did cause post-pain, but it's settled now, and my head is floating more freely above my shoulders, and the shoulder / arm pain is improved.
I'm still dropping balls - my yoga studio is closing and I need to find new venues for my activities. I've found a new yoga teacher at a beautiful studio, but I don't know if she is open to adding my stuff to her already busy class schedule (she runs 3 studios and I don't know how many yoga teachers. She is 70, and an EXCELLENT yoga teacher). And I don't really have the energy or opportunity for doing a lot of self-promotion right now. Stay tuned.
I've been tapped out for a black belt test on 6-December!
1. It is the first Black Belt Test ever for this style, and it is vital that they distinguish themselves as a style by the curriculum for the black belt test.
2. I am the only student being tested, so I'm a bit of a guinea pig for trying out their style curriculum.
I have 5 senseis training me, all of the classes are now about "what I need for the test" - which is awesome. I have 7 weeks now to prepare.
Sensei thinks I've been waiting for 10 years for this test, but I don't have the heart to tell him that the first time I was training for black belt was in 1986.... so I've been waiting (and delayed and delayed) for 32 years. The longest 1st Kyu (that's a belt level) in history.
But I feel strong and well, and my health metrics are looking good.
I think I got this (even if it feels like I'm scrambling like mad right now)!
It's rained all week, so - I will welcome the sun when it returns!
What an acknowledgement by your teachers that you are ready to be tested. I can feel how much this means to you.
JC, I was reading the beginning of this thread and you wrote you had lithium toxicity. I feel I have Lamictal toxicity and recently saw a holistic psychiatrist who said she felt my body was fighting the drug at this point. This is someone who specializes in antidepressant withdrawal. I take my morning dose and am sick the rest of the day. She wants me to move on my remaining taper, not crazy fast but at this point holding is not making me better, in fact making it's making me worse. . In other words, to go back to tapering 10% In addition to the horrible nausea, headache and physical tension, I'm having have the paradoxical reaction of becoming hyper with a medication meant to calm.
How did you manage tapering the last of your Lithium, with it being toxic but knowing you had to take it to avoid extreme withdrawal?
21 months ago. 21 months clear, anhedonic 90% of time. Had my strongest window yet 4 weeks ago.
Yar, that is a crazy cocktail - and the seroquel and olanzapine might mean a longer recovery slope.
But you are having windows! Even if they are just 10% windows, they are windows!
Keep on putting one foot in front of the other, even when it has no meaning, even when you don't want to...time will help you the most.
I see that other moderators have helped you with your reduction. Keep in mind that doctors always want to taper faster. Even the holistic ones, especially the holistic ones, as they are big on "detoxing" which is a harmful practice in withdrawal.
At that level I have difficulty seeing the drug as "toxic." Especially since you used to be on 200 mg, and are now down around the 6 mg mark.
As I went down in lithium, my symptoms got better. My taper was gradual enough that I worked on my moods & participation in life gradually. The moods returned, the participation returned - gradually, just like my taper.
If your fast taper starts to stir things up - remember to hold. Usually we go slower at the bottom rather than faster.
Non-drug techniques are awesome for calming.
Lithium toxicity - I never went totally toxic, though it damaged my kidneys and probably my gut. Big time lithium toxicity - what happens when someone on lithium takes too much or dehydrates - requires dialysis. I never got that bad.
Lamictal toxicity - I haven't read your thread, but there are toxic rashes and stuff with lamictal. If it were me, I would continue with 10% tapering, and just tolerate the symptoms.
Some of the symptoms may be the symptoms of your own, native state returning with a rage (see Neuro-emotion), and not related to tapering at all.
Well, I came here to report that the phenibut taper is going well, I could probably drop off but won't.
I've said "Yes" to another thing - actually volunteered to teach a meditation class at the senior centre next year. Next Friday I go to the "open day" to show my "wares." I'll be sitting at the tai chi table, which is good, as I'm a strong advocate for that practice, as well.
Karate training is exhausting. I'm not training that much extra - but for me, it's enough to keep me so that I don't have energy for computer, creativity, or much else. So if I'm scarce 'round here, that's why.
I'll try and come back and post something more about the phenibut tapering - my heart and meditations (em-Wave HeartMath monitor) are still wobbly, but improving. And I am no longer having the rages that I was having during the first part of my taper. I'm probably on a sub-clinical amount for me now, but like I said before, I'll continue tapering all the way down.
Off to teach a tai chi class! I have 2 faithful students, with 2 potential students who are flirting with the idea. But if they don't show up in 90 degree heat - I can't say as I blame them. I haven't marketed much more - so much stuff to do, so little energy.
Golly - note to self - don't wait too long in between posts! Too much happens!
I completed (and survived) my Black Belt Test. I am now Shodan of Hino Tori Karate! I worked hard, and I earned it! YAY!
For the first week afterwards, I thought I was going to bounce back. But the week after that, the pains began. Knee (always, it's damaged), elbows (elbows? really?), sacrum, and sometimes hips and the other knee, too.
So that's where I am now. Still there. Nothing seems to touch the pain, it's hard to sleep - but the wild thing is, emotionally, even mentally - I'm well. The body complains, and I have to work around a lot of things.
But I'm forging on. I've been called up to the National Broadcaster to go on a quiz show in less than 2 weeks time.
From anhedonic, fatigued, "useless human being," to quiz show contestant. On National TV.
It's not exactly productive - it's surreal! But - the path to this was made easy for me, and I can't help thinking that there's a purpose to this, even if it's just to improve my confidence, speaking skills, or to make a total fool of myself on National Television so that I never am embarrassed by anything after that. Maybe there's someone I'm meant to meet, a new friend to make. Maybe it's just a confidence building exercise.
Whatever it is, that's what's next.
sorry about the pain, though.
ChessieCat reccomended you as one of the few people who've made it thru tothe other side of withdrawal to the success of healing after over 20 years of psych meds. i had commented earlier that i wish there was someone who had made it thru after being on the meds as long as i have (24 years) that is a success story to give me hope, and i'm so glad she reccomended you so i can read your story and be encouraged that healing after 2 decades on multiple psych meds is indeed possible and doable!
JanCarol's story is quite impressive.
and she's not the only one, as you can see from my signature, I was on psych drugs of all kinds for over 40 yrs and am now almost fully recovered.
I spent years on anti psychotics, lithium, lamictal, and lots of others, but for me personally one of the most damaging and difficult to get off of have been the SSRI's.
I took 800mgs of Seroquel at one point, mostly I was on 600mgs. I stopped that cold turkey and my main symptom was neuropathy in my hands and feet, mostly my feet.
I see from your drug history we were on many of the same meds, you're the first person I've met who was also prescribed serzone.
anyway, recovery from taking multiple meds over long periods of time happens.
yeah serzone, one of the ones that got yanked pretty quick, i had a bad adverse reaction to it the first time they gave it to me in the hospital also. sigh. but most the baddies are still on the ,market. ugh i hate seroquel.
i'm having peripheral neuropathy in my hoohah of all places, i went through it in my feet and hands in the past on higher doses and had to use a cane and a walker to ambulate cause i couldn't feel my feet. the neurologist loved using the safety pin prick test on me. although i never felt nor flinched at all while he poked those safety pins into my feet and legs knee down! i thought he was playing a joke but the next day after those tests the tiny pinprick bruises would show up on my legs where he'd stabbed me lol. neuropathy is no joke.
thanks for welcome and i'm gonna go read your story!
Yes, you can heal. It is vitally important to be kind and ruthless at the same time.
Kind to yourself, treating your pain and symptoms like a newborn baby. Do only what you can do when you can do it. Your capacity and stamina will gradually increase over time.
Ruthless to those strategies and self-sabotage and dramas. When I became so sick, I found it easy to say "no." No drama. No draining "friends," no excessive stimulation, no to doing too much, and NO to whipping myself into "being productive." Just wait, it will come.
I have found that I am mostly back to where I was before the lithium. Back then, I was able to work about 15-20 hours a week. I am now teaching a meditation class, assisting with a karate class, attending a tai chi class and a yoga class every week. 2-3 times a month I meet with my Shaman group/s, and serve them with my Drum. I'm almost keeping up with correspondence, though sadly, not much at SA, as the real world takes a lot of my attention. I'm getting the laundry done, getting my teeth brushed and face washed, and sleeping pretty well.
I have huge support from hubby - we have a cleaner every fortnight to get the worst of our filth sorted, and he does most of the cooking and takes care of the dishwasher and cat box. He helps me get out the door on time, and helps me carry things when they are too heavy. If I were alone, I would not be this productive. So kudos to a supportive husband!
I have a vital question to ask all of my SA friends. Please chime in with an opinion - I want to hear all kinds of opinions about this before I decide what to do.
I have received a letter from the Aussie government. They have been contacted (through Medicare. egads, privacy!) by a corporate medical research institute (QIMR Berhofer) inviting me to participate in a study on "Genetics of Bipolar Disorder."
I spewed my coffee on the keyboard when I read "Genetics of Bipolar Disorder" - YES I believe it "runs in families" but I don't believe it's genetic.
Lithium is mainly used as a part of a treatment program to assist patients with Bipolar Disorder. The Department of Human Services has sent you this letter because this records show that you have been prescribed Lithium at some time in the last five years.
We invite you to participate in our study that will investigate the genetic factors that influence Bipolar Disorder as well as genetic factors that determine response to Lithium treatment. Specifically our study is trying to find genetic markers that are common to people who have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and respond to Lithium compared to those that have not.
We are asking for you to complete an online questionnaire about your mental health experiences and medication history and to supply us with a sample of saliva which we will use to extract your DNA.
Participation is voluntary, anonymous, and confidential.
OKAY so if I sign up and tell them how toxic and dangerous lithium is, will they just discard my results?
This angers me in a lot of ways, but there is a chance that I can espouse my views that lithium is dangerous and toxic. An opportunity to share my results and experiences with researchers.
Then there's the saliva thing. I'm not keen on that, but they claim anonymous and confidential. But do I trust them, really?
Please - what do you think SA'rs? Is this an opportunity? Or an invasion?
I can understand the temptation to try to educate them but honestly, they won't even notice it or care.
it's an invasion IMO (esp the way they went about it, omg don't even get me started on that) and under no circumstances would I send my precious DNA off to a gov't agency of ANY country, let alone the United States of Corruption. no do not trust them, time and time again, they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy.
My twin sister was eventually diagnosed as bipolar by the same psychiatrist that I was seeing, and she's never had a manic episode. She was never given lithium as I was, she was given lamictal which she is terrified to stop taking because she doesn't want to "relapse" from her imaginary illness that even she now questions.
but as soon as they were fishing for drugs and profits to treat the condition, the number of ppl diagnosed with it skyrocketed.
anyway, as far as twin and genetics- there's genes and then there's gene expression (often called "turning genes on and off") There are many factors that influence which genes are expressed (environment, lifestyle etc) So while my identical twin sister and I have supposedly identical genes (even this is not true, genes mutate, so we likely have a number of individual mutations) the expression of those genes won't be identical.
I'm happy to hear you're doing so well and glad you've got a supportive husband. Having supportive people in our lives can make a huge difference.
I understand epigenetics, but even with epigenetics under consideration, many writers (Paula Caplan, Joanna Moncrieff, and Whitaker among them) think that if there is a genetic connection with bipolar, it should be a higher hit rate than 60%.
Were you involved in any twin studies? Researchers drool when they think they can get their hands on some twins. . .
The research company contacted the government and said, "can you contact those who have been on lithium and see if they will do the study?"
If I do not contact the research company, they will never know anything about me. The government knows I've been on lithium, because they paid for it. The government does not know whether I participate in the program or not. They just "hooked us up."
Thanks so much for your opinion, I'd love to hear from some more, too! At the moment, I'm kind of leaning that way. Towards NOT doing it. But if I thought I could honestly help someone with my report- !!!!
I can understand the temptation to try to educate them but honestly, they won't even notice it or care.
I don't feel smart enough to have an opinion (not in general, I mean just right now) but I think H2H is right.
they aren't looking to learn they are looking to earn.
I am off the phenibut!!!!!
But if enough people say: THIS DRUG SUX, IT DAMAGED MY KIDNEYS, I LOST MY THYROID. Maybe - just maybe - no matter what it did for my mood (IT TURNED ME INTO A ZOMBIE, yes I had stable moods, but I couldn't feel ANYTHING ELSE), the toxic aspects of it can come to the fore?
well, hope so, but how to know if it's even possible? if you want to do it, you should.
But if I thought I could honestly help someone with my report- !!!!
I guess you know the particulars a lot better than I do.
I'm very wary of anyone who wants my DNA or anything else to be honest- I feel like too much has already been taken from me and it did NO one any good. Well, except for the drs, and the drug companies, etc that profited off my suffering and my search for help.
but you're too smart to get caught up in that sort of trap.

Which is Your Favorite Gomez Addams Quote?
Gomez Addams was once a nameless fictional character on the first publication of The Addams Family in 1964. The patriarch then was named after the television adaptation played by actor John Astin. The playfulness of Gomez's character came from his efforts to be a passionate husband and loving father, but the satirical aspect is the dissatisfaction of both.
Created by Charles Addams, his inspirations came from his hometown in Westfield, New Jersey. Idealizing an odd wealthy family birthed the character of Gomez rich with his multilingual and poetic lines.
Gomez shows us the importance of being a devoted lover and the thirst for adventure seen in the films and publications. In the modern age where the dating world is full of uncertainties and hesitance, Gomez is a role model where everyone will be charmed.

Bar Harbor is the largest town on Mount Desert Island (MDI) in Hancock County, Maine with approximately 5,500 year round residents. Nearby Acadia National Park spans some 50 square miles.
Voted America's favorite Place in 2014 by ABC's Good Morning America, MDI encapsulates Maine's rocky shorelines with majestic forests, awe-inspiring mountains, traditional fishing villages, and coastal towns. Anchored by the vibrant and artistic community of Bar Harbor, the area's cultural, lodging, shopping, dining, and outdoor and water based activities offer all the amenities a modern traveller could want.
Come summertime, more than 3 million tourists travel to MDI's idyllic shores — including Martha Stewart and members of the Rockefeller family.
Originally incorporated as the Town of Eden, the town's name was changed to Bar Harbor in 1918. During the 1850s, the number of visitors began to increase, and while it was mostly artists, scholars, scientists, and writers who journeyed to Bar Harbor, more and more came to the picturesque community after the Civil War.
The Wabanaki are a confederacy of tribes that include the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations. The Wabanaki have been here, in their homeland, for thousands of generations. This includes Pesamkuk, this place we now call Mount Desert Island and Frenchman Bay.
In what is known as the encampment period, from about 1840 to 1920, Wabanaki lived like the other residents of Maine, speaking English but retaining cultural values, language, and limited privileges. Artists and craftsmen would travel to tourist areas, like Bar Harbor, in the summer to sell baskets and other items to supplement their income. They offered guiding and other services, as well as performances of traditional music and dance. The purchasers were the seasonal residents known as "rusticators" – people like the Abbe Museum's founder, Dr. Abbe, who were drawn to the natural beauty of the area.
These summer encampments were both the tribal members' homes and retail outlets. And bringing people together helped to sustain Native culture and community. When the encampment period ended, Wabanaki became largely invisible to non-Native Maine, but they continued to live in their communities, sustaining their cultures.
May is considered "pre-season" along most of Maine's coastline, including Bar Harbor. Regardless, the majority of shops, restaurants, and accommodations will be open. And, since the day-time temperature in May ranges from 47-60 degrees, the cooler temps make it ideal for hiking, trout fishing, bird watching, and exploring the towns.
Acadia National Park will be open, as will the campgrounds. The Park offers many outdoor activities that are easily accessible. Travel to (you can hike or drive) the top of Cadillac Mountain or Wapuwoc, the "white mountain of the first light," and be the first to see the sunrise. Or, take a walk along the Bar toward Bar Island and see one of the areas that mark a location of the Indian encampments during the Rusticator Period. And learn why Bar Harbor was then known as Moneskatik, "the Clam Digging Place," reflecting the seasonal use of resources by Wabanaki hunter-gatherers.
Flying - Bar Harbor is serviced by a local airport, the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport, located just 12 miles from downtown, and by Bangor International Airport, which is 50 miles away.
Rental cars are available at all regional airports, local taxi services are available from all airports and bus stations. Additional travel details can be found on the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce website.

UMW Halts Plans to Purchase Villa
12 years ago The Blue & Gray Press
BY SARAH SMITH
Two weeks ago, UMW terminated negotiations to purchase Cicolina, an Italian villa, to facilitate a study abroad program.
According to Vice President for Administration and Finance Rick Hurley, the school would not have subsidized the program and the costs would have passed to participating students.
"We typically only attract one to five students per year to our most expensive study abroad program now," Hurley said.
"We just felt that it was too risky for us to move forward because if we did not attract this many students, we would have to subsidize the program and that was something we were not willing to do."
The price per semester would have been $17,000 per student. This figure goes over the current most expensive study abroad program at UMW, which charges $15,500 to study in London, England.
To meet the annual operating cost of the villa 75 students per year would have to take part in the program, a number that the school would not be guaranteed to meet.
John Eskeland, a senior who participated in an exchange program to Prague described his own experience overseas.
"I would say it was a positive experience, a great experience, but I might have been better off going through the host university. I got similar treatment and housing, but it was more money," he said.
Eskeland hypothesized, "[The villa] would have been a good asset for the school."
Whether students participate in study abroad through host universities or through other programs, one of the top concerns is whether their academic credits will transfer back to UMW. Since the villa would have been owned and operated by the University, it would have enabled students to easily transfer their course credits between Italy and Mary Washington.
English, Linguistics and Communication Department Chair Teresa Kennedy initiated the project in 2006 and administrators investigated options during the following semesters. The administration explored 47 different locations in Italy, settling last January on the villa two hours outside Rome in Tuscany.
The villa would have been purchased in December 2008, renovated during the spring semester and opened for use in fall 2009.
The administration currently has no further plans to purchase overseas property. "There are probably other facilities in Italy and other countries but we are not going to pursue that option right now," Hurley said.
Rather than expand overseas, UMW is working to develop local facilities. "One major reason is because the attention and time the Park N Shop project is taking," Hurley said.
In addition to focusing more on the Park N Shop, Hurley stated that President Judy Hample intends to initiate a strategic planning process to identify how the university can best allocate its resources. Whether the results of this process will lead to reinitiating a search for the purchase of overseas facilities has yet to be determined.
