Strobist raided my wallet
ByDerek
I have been enjoying my Canon Digital Rebel XTi now for about a year and a half. The one thing that had been annoying me, though, was the complete inability to be able to shoot anything that required more than natural light. With the baby on the way, I really wanted to start learning how…

The Sun agrees on Foit’s
ByDerek
The Sun’s editorial this week echoes my viewpoint from a month ago on the Foit’s property. Hamburg’s known as the town that friendship built and most folks outside of the town say Hamburg definitely is a “pro-business” community. But when it comes to an issue involving a Hamburg business owner and a prime piece of…

ByDerek

As I’ve spent the last few months gaining a deeper understanding of the many facets of the project, I’ve also been keeping…

Burns Fellow in Financial Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. — The subprime and other junk mortgages that Fannie and Freddie bought — and the market in these mortgages that their buying spawned — are the underlying cause of the financial crisis. These…
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
