McDaniel College: Finding clues to ancient Greek culture in its material remains

January 14, 2013


As they explore the history and culture of ancient Greece through its material remains with Classics professor Tom Falkner, the travelers in the Jan Term study tour “McDaniel in Greece: Myths, Monks, and Monuments” have encountered surprises – moments that have enriched their 18-day sojourn abroad.

Caroline Babylon ’76, one of eight adults and 14 students on the trip, sends back a photo a day. On day three, she shared a story with her photo of a village priest…

December 12, 2012 The Ghost of Berlusconi Rises Again Kevin E. Dayhoff
While Greece wraps up a six-month effort to secure a new bailout payment, and Washington continues to fail to understand the seriousness of its fiscal responsibilities, the world’s financial markets wobbled earlier in the week when it saw the ghost of Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5512

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in December 2007.

It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

[…]




Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment approaches 25 percent in Greece. Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.

Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13, stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety reason…”


Since 2010, Syntagma Square has served as a barometer for rising civil discontent over Greece’s ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons, shields and tear gas...

On Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past the National Archaeological Museum, in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of paramilitary shock riot-police.

Yes Dear Readers Fruitcake Has A History by Kevin Dayhoff


Yes, Dear Readers, Fruitcake Has A History

December 26, 2012 Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5537

The holidays are upon us and I can only be sure that many thoughts have turned to getting together with family and friends – and of course, the wonders of fruitcake.

Yes, fruitcake. Yeah! I know it is a rather heavy subject for the Christmas season, but fools rush in where angels fear to tread. I’ve been called many things over the years, but “Angel” is not one of them, so here goes.

Seems nothing stirs the passions of many like the subject of food. I’m still nursing the bruising I took several years ago when I commented on the virtues of squash: “As much as I like vegetables, one food that does not exist on the Dayhoff's Nutrition Pyramid (DNP) is squash. God created the squash as a joke. The word "squash" is Native-American for "mud disguised as plant."

Moving along; your intrepid writer here has observed that first among equals on the holiday food passion meter seems to be the topic of fruitcake. After all, nothing warms the cockles of one’s heart like fruitcake on a cold Central Maryland night. I have been told that fruitcake burns – forever – in the fireplace at a rather high temperature; and it adds a brilliant display of holiday colors to the flames.

The subject of fruitcake arrived when I was recently asked as to what was my favorite food during the holidays. To which I answered, “Yes!!!”

Fruitcake has gotten a bad rap over the years. That’s probably because people haven’t had homemade dark fruitcake with icing – a Southern tradition.

According to various learned commentaries on the virtues of fruitcake, the concoction of chopped candied fruit, nuts, and spices – and plenty of alcohol – was quite popular at Victorian teas in 19th century England, where many know it as “Christmas Cake.”

Another variation of fruitcake – or “fruit bread,” …http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5537

Flinging Fruitcake

What to Do with Leftover Fruitcake by Pam Grout December 13, 2011 Holiday desserts sail over Manitou Springs, Colo. http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/


Wearing military-style fatigues and an aviator cap, Jerry Pokorny, 64, stuffs a frozen fruitcake into a long, slim tube attached to an exercise bike. He checks printed satellite maps, twists the valve on a 10-gallon tank of compressed air and–kaboom!–the fruitcake sails across the high school football field in Manitou Springs, Colo. (pop. 4,992), past the goalposts and into the distance toward Pikes Peak.

Calling himself "a retired engineer with too much time on his hands," Pokorny built his wacky "Fruitcake of Mass Destruction" out of parts from a junkyard to join 75 contestants in the 2011 Manitou Springs Great Fruitcake Toss. The annual event celebrates the world's most reviled and underappreciated holiday dessert by challenging contestants to toss, hurl and fling fruitcakes through the air, occasionally obliterating the sugary artillery in the process…http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/
