stuff below the fold



CatholicKey Blog has photos of the huge Marian Day festival in Carthage Missouri...
it is a yearly festival for the Vietnamese American diaspora, many of whom live along the Gulf coast and were hit by both Katrina and the oil spill....


-----------------------------
Internet archives has all sorts of stuff on it.
For example, they have lots of old books on the Hittites. They aslo have various Cambridge Ancient and Medieval History textbooks by JB Bury. (I brought the hard copy of this book with me to the Philippines).
They also have newer things, such as a film of the keynote speaker in a recent conference on the Indus Valley civilization
,
and a bunch of films about the Uyghur diaspora.

CSI Edinburgh: Who killed Mary's husband, and how was he killed?
(headsup Archeoblog).

There have been terrible floods in Pakistan and mudslides in China.
Sigh. In our prayers.

and finally: the Medical dangers of ...PIZZA
I was aware of listeriosis and being burnt by the hot cheese, but this one says beware of speeding pizza delivery trucks.
