My maiden name is Ortler. This is the link to the mountain I was named after. No olives growing up there! |

So I am riding along in the car with Andrew the other night. We where discussing the role of innate talent in people for things like music, art, sports, etc. I voiced my long held theory that while it is obvious that some people are born with the ability to (for example) draw really well, that someone without that in-born abitity could still develop that skill to a high degree, if they where willing to invest the effort. I mentioned that I had once had just this discussion with a coworker of mine who had studied archeology in college. I had told her that while I think that my artistic ability ends at highly stylized stick people, I could probably do a bit better with practice and trianing. She told me that while she too, felt that she had no inate artistic ability, that when she studied archeology one of the first things you have to do is take a drawing course so that you can sketch dig sites, cool artefacts and whatever. She told me that the course used a book that taught a method so effective that she was amazed by how well she could draw at the end of one semmester. She was so sure that this worked, that she gave me the name of the book, told me to go buy the book and read it. She said the when I had done all of the excercises in the book, that I would be able to draw a persons face well enough that anyone who knew that person would instantly recognize them from my drawing. She went on to say that if I was not able to do that, she would pay me the cost of the book. Andrew thinks for just a second and says: "So did you try it?" "No" I answered. "Wht not?" "No reason, I just never got to it, I guess. Why?" "Well, why not. You would have gotten a free art book..." Nice to be held in such high esteem. |

A woman bit into a partial finger served in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's restaurant, leading authorities to a fingerprint database Thursday to determine who lost the digit. Health officials said the fingertip was approximately 1 1/2 inches long. They believe it belongs to a woman because of the long, manicured nail. |

Happy Greek Independance Day- March 25th
|
|
 On March 25, 1821 the bishop Germanos of Patras raised the Greek flag at the Monastery of Agia Lavra in Peloponnese and one more revolution started against the Turks. The people of Greece shouted "Freedom or Death" and they fought the War of Independence for 9 years (1821-1829) until a small part of modern Greece was finally liberated and it was declared an independent nation.
