Graduate Student Committee Procedures
I. Justification:
A graduate student's committee is responsible for approving a student's program of study; providing constructive input to help guide the student's research/scholarship; promoting effective communication among the graduate student, committee chair/adviser, and other members of the committee; and more generally, for helping to promote the successful completion of the student's program. The committee should be appointed as soon as possible in a master's program, and immediately after the doctoral student passes the qualifying exam. The following Doctoral Committee Policies and Procedures are intended to help achieve these goals, to minimize misunderstandings, and to help foster a collegial relationship among the graduate student, the committee chair/adviser, and the members of the committee throughout the graduate student's program. Each doctoral student, chair and committee member should receive a copy of these policies and procedures.
II. Policies and Procedures for Doctoral Students and Committees:
The doctoral committee should meet with the student at least once per year to (1) provide guidance, (2) finalize and approve the research proposal of the student so that there is a clear understanding of the research goals and objectives, (3) assess the quality and progress of the research, and (4) discuss programmatic issues (e.g., course requirements).
Both the chair and the student are responsible for providing a copy of the final draft of the dissertation to the committee at least two weeks prior to the scheduled date of the final oral examination. The chair should schedule a date for the examination with the Office of Graduate Enrollment Services at least two weeks prior to the examination.
Both the chair and the student are responsible for ensuring the completion of a final draft of the dissertation, and for adequate consultation with members of the doctoral committee, well in advance of the final oral examination. Major revisions of the dissertation should be completed before this examination. The dissertation should be complete and in its "final" form, with correct and polished content and style, appropriate notes, bibliography, tables, etc., at the time it is distributed to the committee members. If committee members find that the draft submitted to them is not in this form, the chair is notified and postponement of the examination is considered.
If a committee member finds that the "final" draft is not correct and polished with respect to content and style, it is his/her responsibility to notify the committee chair (or adviser) at least one week in advance of the final oral examination date. The committee member should indicate his/her concerns regarding the draft and recommend consideration of postponement of the examination to the committee chair (or adviser). The committee chair (or adviser), in consultation with committee members, is responsible for notifying the student and assessing whether the student can make the necessary revisions to the "final" draft before the examination date. If it is determined that revisions cannot be made in time, the examination should be postponed. If differences exist among committee members, the head of the graduate program should be consulted to hear the expressed concerns and determine whether the examination should be postponed.
A favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the committee is required for passing. If a student fails, it is the responsibility of the committee to determine whether another examination may be taken by the student.
The chair or at least one co-chair must be a member of the graduate faculty of the specific doctoral program in which the student is enrolled. A retired or emeritus faculty member may chair a doctoral committee if he/she was officially appointed and began chairing the committee prior to retirement, and has the continuing approval of the department head or program chair. The primary duties of the chair are to: (1) maintain the academic standards of the doctoral program and the Graduate School and to assure that all procedures are carried out fairly, (2) ensure that the comprehensive and final examinations are conducted in a timely fashion, (3) arrange and conduct all meetings, and (4) ensure that requirements set forth by the committee are implemented in the final version of the dissertation.
A doctoral committee must consist of four or more active members of the Graduate Faculty, which includes at least two faculty members from the student's major field. For research doctorate (Ph.D.) committees, one member of the committee may be a Category Q member of the Graduate Faculty and serve in the roles specified under Expected Duties of Category Q members. The dissertation adviser must be a member of the doctoral committee. The dissertation adviser usually serves as chair, but this is not required. If the student is also pursuing a dual-title field of study, a co-chair representing the dual-title field must be appointed. In most cases, the same individual (e.g., dissertation adviser) is a member of the Graduate Faculty in both the major and dual-title fields, and in such cases may serve as sole chair.
At least one regular member of the doctoral committee must represent a field outside the student's major field of study in order to provide a broader range of disciplinary perspectives and expertise within the committee. This committee member is referred to as the "Outside Field Member." In cases where the student is also pursuing a dual-title field of study, the dual-title representative to the committee may serve as the Outside Field Member.
Additionally, the primary appointment of at least one regular member of the doctoral committee must be in an administrative unit that is outside the unit in which the dissertation adviser's primary appointment is held (i.e., the adviser's administrative home; in the case of tenure-line faculty, this is the individual's tenure home), in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest. This committee member is referred to as the "Outside Unit Member." In the case of co-advisers, the Outside Unit Member must be from outside the administrative home(s) of both co-advisers. In some cases, an individual may have a primary appointment outside the administrative home of the student's dissertation adviser and also represent a field outside the student's major field of study; in such cases, the same individual may serve as both the Outside Field Member and the Outside Unit Member.
If the student has a minor, that field must be represented on the committee by a "Minor Field Member." (For additional information related to minors for D.Ed. students, see also "Major Program and Minor Field" under "D.Ed.-Additional Specific Requirements" in the University Bulletin.)
A person who is not a member of the Graduate Faculty (and may not be affiliated with Penn State), but who is otherwise qualified and has particular expertise in the student's research area, may be added as a "Special Member," upon recommendation by the head of the graduate program and approval of the Graduate School dean (via the Office of Graduate Enrollment Services). A Special Member is expected to participate fully in the functions of the doctoral committee.
Please note:
Although master's programs vary widely across the University and differ from doctoral programs, departments and programs are urged to follow the spirit of the Procedures for Doctoral Students (points 1-7 in section II. above), as appropriate, for appointing graduate committees of master's students. These Procedures (points 1-7) should be added to graduate program handbooks and/or websites of departments or programs.

The school cricket teams have been working hard on their batting, bowling, throwing and catching skills . This term, they got to put on their whites and compete against other schools in the town. Well done to all that competed.
Last Wednesday, Simon de Senlis cricket team took part in a tournament with eight other schools. We played a game against Boothville – which was a very close game- but unfortunately we lost. However, we won against Thorplands and by a lot of runs.
After that we had to play Lings and Briar Hill. Fortunately we beat them both, which led to us being 4th in the whole tournament. The games that we played were extremely close, even though one of the Briar Hill players bowled and hit one of our batters on the head.
We played with determination and reassured each other that we could succeed. Although we beat: Lings, Thorplands and Briar Hill, we still congratulated the other teams. On Friday, Mr Prosser ( the teacher that took us to the tournament) gave the team a special mention in celebration assembly.

Doctor insights on:
Conscious Sedation With Propofol In Colonoscopy
What type of sedation is safer for a colonoscopy? Concerned about propofol.
Proofol: Is probably the best, it wears completely off in very short time.

But Propofol requires constant monitoring and special skills to administer to be as safe. ...Read more

I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder. Chose twilight instead of propofol for a colonoscopy sedation. Was that the right choice?
I think so,: You will receive versed, a strong anxiolytic that can be given prior and will last after. It will also block any memory of the event. Propofol would put you to sleep but unless you are given something else you would have anxiety otherwise. Propofol also requires special skills to administer also. A nurse can administer the versed. ...Read more

Can u have a colonoscopy done with something other than general anesthesia? Such as conscious sedation?
Yes: Intravenous sedation can be very effective in assuring comfort and sedation during a colonoscopy. General anesthesia, though used commonly because it can be "eliminated" so quickly from one's body, isn't mandatory. Discuss with your endoscopist or anesthesiologist! No worries! ...Read more

Propofol administered by a nurse anesthesiologist for a colonoscopy. Should that be of concern?
Depends: In the us, the term "anesthesiologist" means a fully-trained physician. A crna is a nurse anesthetist, not a doctor. Make sure a physician anesthesiologist is available for backup and supervision of a nurse anesthetist. Propofol is a good med for sedation for colonoscopy, but needs careful monitoring of breathing and blood pressure. The procedure won't take long, and you'll wake up quickly. ...Read more
Is it safe for me to have a colonoscopy using propofol if I have Brugada syndrome? Will it cause an episode of VT or VF?
Yes with precautions: Although propofol may result in malignant arrhythmias in some Brugada syndrome patients, it has been used uneventfully in numerous other Brugada syndrome patients. When appropriate measures are taken anesthesia with propofol can most often be performed safely in Brugada syndrome patients. For detailed information on anesthesia in Brugada syndrome see: http://bit. Ly/2bhf1Zz ...Read more
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy. Is a facility able to enforce anesthesia if I do not want to take it. They use propofol and I don't want it.
Informed consent: Nothing should be done before explaining pros and cons and obtaining your permission. Propofol is not the only choice, although it is probably best drug for it today. One can undergo colonoscopy without any anesthesia, the experience is likely to be quite unpleasant and stressful and conditions for the doctor performing it suboptimal, so I would invite you to address all your concerns beforehand. ...Read more
Are there any long term effects from propofol? I have only been given it one during a colonoscopy.
No: This will not damage you.Get a more detailed answer ›
Dr. Insists on using propofol for colonoscopy/endoscopy, can I insist on light propofol? Would it be wise to do so?

Scheduled for colonoscopy. What is the generally used anesthetic for Thai procedure? Propofol? Had a bad reaction upon waking from surgery while on it.
Why ask here?: It may be propofol, it may be midazolam, it may be fentanyl. Different docs use different drugs. Why don't you ask them? Call 'em up. Be sure to check with your insurance carrier.

My doctor wants to use propofol on me for my endoscopy because he said versed & fentanyl didn't work well w/ my colonoscopy. Is propofol safer?
It is a safe drug: Propofol is a safe drug if administer by an anesthesiologist or a CRNA. During administration of the drug the patient has to be fully monitored. The monitors are the following.

I had propofol endoscopy/colonoscopy this a.m. with biopsies. My knee and back are hurting from other injuries. Can I take a hydrocodone 5 mg?
Several points:
First, if it is an unprescribed narcotic that you somehow got ahold of... this sets up a really bad pattern.
It's got a complex pharmacokinetics. It's action is as much terminated by it diluting as it is by actually leaving the body. So, when you wake up, there's still a faire amount still there and there is the potential for interaction. But 5 mg isn't much xcept driving/etc. ...Read more
Is it more advisable to get a colonoscopy at a surgical outpatient center vs a doctor's office? Is propofol safe to use as anesthesia during it?
Both safe: But the more medical issues/problems the better off at an ambulatory center but it really depends on what the comfort level of the office people as well as what kind of problems/complication they are prepared to handle. ...Read more
Husband given Propofol today for EGD & colonoscopy. Now sneezes CONSTANTLY & nose runs, only when STANDING. 9hrs. Since Propofol & 18hrs. Since prep.
Unlikely propofol: It's unlikely this reaction is due to propofol so long after the procedure. It sounds as though your husband is having a histamine-release reaction for some reason--like hay fever. Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or a non-drowsy antihistamine such as loratidine. This should clear up on its own. ...Read more

I've actually been very good at drinking water for a while now. I drink about half a gallon most days (plus my various unsweetened herbal teas) which is the amount generally recommended by health experts. Staying well hydrated is very important for your health and is of course a common beauty related recommendation as it's good for skin.
Most days I drink my filtered water out of a large plastic bottle but with all the concerns about BPA which is commonly used in the production of various plastic products especially water bottles, I'm trying to move to a using a glass bottle.
Some research has shown that BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure.
I've been really trying to eliminate plastic from my life and replace them with glass which is why the bkr Glass Water Bottle collection which comes in various colors besides the fuchsia above as well as various sizes from 8.4 oz to 33.4 oz., immediately caught my eye.
If you're like me and want to eliminate plastic from your life starting with water bottles, the bkr Glass Water Bottle may be for you.
bkr is the solution to staying hydrated and helps to create the canvas for a gorgeous complexion so skincare and makeup can be most effective. Made of clean, bubbly glass wrapped in soft, grippy silicone in hues inspired by the runway.
I really like that the glass bottle is wrapped in silicone to not only improve your grip but to lessen the fear of dropping it and it easily smashing.
Grab the bkr Glass Water Bottle at Saks starting from $28.

"As golfers we want to be in a high performance state more often. THINQ Golf features a suite of video games designed to improve the mental game of golfers. The goal of THINQ Golf is for our members to improve the mental skills of: Awareness, Attention, Synchronicity, Intention and Adaptability. These skills are improved from playing the games, attending educational webinars and utilizing some of the performance tools in one's personal dashboard." THINQ Golf is committed to improving a golfer's performance by accelerating the development of the mental game through scientifically based brain games and education.
The science of THINQ GOLF Games are based and built through extensive research by Dr. Debbie Crews and the THINQ Team. The THINQ Team has learned through testing with EEG's (brain scanning technology) that the games can improve one's mental state. The goal with cognitive training is to get the golfer to achieve a more coherent state, or what is sometimes referred to as "THE ZONE," and achieve that state more often.

This post is part two of a four-part series on my song, "could be," from my album my anxious age. You can read part one here, where I describe how verse one, which relays the lifelong impact of my childhood experience with bullying, and how it is essential to know the stories of the ones we love in order to know them fully.
Shadow Living
I recently turned 25, which is an age that seems like it would come with some additional amount of withheld wisdom or at least a senior discount at the movie theater, but so far has only made my students react with wide eyes and the confidence-building question, "But weren't you really young when you started teaching us?" It's been quite the ride.
In my 25 years on this earth, I haven't ascribed much significance to ages. I didn't start driving until I was 18. 21 didn't find me at a bar. 22 did not feel like one of the Taylor Swift's nights on the town. By all accounts, significant moments in my life haven't come attached to specific ages.
I do frequently think about the 6th grade. In the grand scope of my youth, that was a defining year. That was the year I became my class's prime candidate for bullying. I was invited into friend groups, only to be kicked out for "making them look bad." I was asked questions about myself, only to hear the information retold later in jokes at my expense. I was a loser, a lame, that horrible f-word that has been used to degrade the LGBTQ community for decades now. I was pushed around when the teachers weren't looking, the recipient of spitballs to the back of my head. Teachers assured my mom that they didn't see anything. My principal asked if maybe I didn't possess a sense of humor, if I hadn't understood that "boys will be boys"? Most days, my mom would sign me out for lunch so that I could cry in her Chevy Astro van in the parking lot, a brief reprieve from the harassment.
It was a terrible, terrible year, but when the seventh grade rolled around, it was over. Nothing significant changed in me, but the class moved on to other targets, and I was safe at last. One would think that this was the end of all that noise.
If you look at my high school track record, the sixth grade underdog came up big. I was the class president and valedictorian, involved in Art, Theater, Student Council, National Honor Society, UIL Academics, and my school's first-ever all-male "dance" team, the Crazy Cats. It was a classic Cinderella story, one that used to make me think that I was real cool.
Of course, life never leaves off where the happy ending in a movie does. There are always more dragons to face after the credits, and rarely do they go easier on you because of past victories. As I entered college in 2009, I was confronted with the challenge of making a new name for myself in a new place. This sea of 8,000 faces was an opportunity to make new friends and make the most of my four years as an undergraduate.
But that's not how I viewed this new landscape. What I saw were 8,000 faces that could call me a loser again. What I saw was an infinite amount of scenarios in which I could reveal part of myself only to have it thrown back in my face as a joke. I felt vulnerable, exposed to the possibility that I could be hated again for no reason at all. I was standing in the shadow of my sixth grade self, or what those kids had told me about my sixth grade self, and I was afraid of what would happen if I tried to outlive him.
I'm not the only one who does this. I know people who have yet to outlive words people said about them what seems like lifetimes ago to everyone else, but just yesterday to them. I know people who have yet to outrun past mistakes because they can't believe that grace extends to oneself. I know people who have yet to let go of missed opportunities, believing that life will never be as good as that alternate route they failed to take.
In some ways, we are all shadow people. We all live out, over and over, the words or actions that we cannot seem to shake for all of our successes and triumphs. I have lived a good life filled with so much joy and so much love, yet sometimes I am standing in a room of people I don't know and am afraid to speak for fear of what they might think of me. I sometimes have entire weeks of feeling sensitive and remaining quiet, avoiding friends and interactions so that I can protect my bruised ego. I am always on guard for people who might belittle me and revert me back to that insecure boy who stopped trusting others to save his self.
For me, stepping out of the shadows of that fateful year is dangerous. It is a constant risk that I do not always perceive as worth taking. I am risking my ego, my feelings, my self-esteem that took so long to build up after that time, and ultimately myself. Whenever any of us decide to step out of the shadows we are hiding in, we run the very scary risk of losing part of what makes us whole.
But when we decide to stay in the shadows, to lick our wounds for our whole lives, to never trust that there is light for us outside of this darkness, we run the even scarier risk of never truly being whole.
I never fully left the shadows of my sixth grade year in college, and the consequence was only being left with a few good friends from that time, friends I can't even say know the whole me despite how much I cherish them. I have met up with long-time friends to catch up, only to realize I never fully revealed myself to them, and no longer know them because they never really knew me. I have spent months with my guard up around people I could have loved deeper and received deeper love from, had I only let them in sooner.
We deserve to step out of the shadows. There is light on the other side of whatever darkness we wrestle every day.
We deserve to believe that there are truer, kinder words to be spoken of us by people who actually have our best interest in mind. Better stories exist if we only pick up the pen to write them and share them with our loved ones.
We deserve to accept the grace we extend to others. We can spend our lives paying for the past, but we'll never settle the debt unless we learn to live forgiven.
Shadow living is a difficult and heavy way to live, but it is also incredibly easy, for it is a pain that is known, comfortable, and predictable. Living in the light requires more of us, is a challenge not everyone wishes to risk, but is ultimately a lighter load to carry. Its pain is the pain that James Baldwin describes when he says, "Love is a growing up."
We deserve to step from the shadows and live in light, so that we may know love and give love and let go of the rest.
The Sweet Spot of Self-Talk
I once thought that grade school bullies were my worst enemies; that was before I picked up their tricks. Only one year of my life was spent being bullied by others, but it was plenty of time to learn how to bully myself for the next ten.
When it comes to self-deprecation, I can downplay myself with the best of them. Attribute any good quality to me, and watch me bat down that compliment like a wasp is headed for my face. A typical exchange goes down like this:
Praiser: "Ben, I hear you're a great rapper."
Praisee (me): "Someone must not listen to a lot of rap."
It's one of the most common defense mechanisms of our modern world: in case anyone may not find you worthwhile, be the first to suggest it's true. My self-esteem went from minimal to nonexistent in just one year of elementary school. In response, when other people tried to take my value away, I started taking it before anyone else had the chance.
It worked too. Even today, a lot of my friends appreciate my ability to cut myself down with a pointed comment about my socially awkward style of living. When my roommate attempts to convince me that a girl likes me, I reply, "Yeah, from a distance!"
In some ways, the ability to make fun of yourself is healthy. If done correctly, you may actually possess a high self-esteem that allows you to self-deprecate without self-loathing.
If you aren't careful, however, you can easily cross that thin line between humor and reality. The fear that others may see through your #flawless social media presence to the #flawed real person pushes you into a dangerous territory where you try to protect yourself by beating yourself up.
Have a talent? Tell people you're "not that good" or that you "just do it as a hobby." That way, if they don't think you're good, they won't think it means the world to you.
Have an amazing personality trait? Tell people it's "not that big of a deal" or that you haven't really seen it yourself. "You're so funny!" they say. You look away sheepishly and reply, "Really? I've never thought that about myself." Then, if someone doesn't see that trait in you, they at least know you don't either and don't blame you for others being misinformed.
This modern form of self-loathing is often misnamed as humility. I was raised in church all of my life, where the word 'humility' is often thrown about but never properly defined for teenagers already neck-deep in self-hate. Don't be proud or boastful? Uhh, easy! Don't take credit for the goods things you've done? Check! I'm the best Christian ever!
I cannot pinpoint this blame on any preacher or church leader. On one hand, I was told to acknowledge that all good things come from God and not me. On the other hand, I needed more reminders that I am a good thing that came from God. "God didn't make no junk" never really resonated with me, as the bad grammar probably turned me off to the message. Instead, I went on believing/pretending that hating myself meant I loved God more than anyone else.
I heard somewhere that to "love your neighbor as yourself" means you must first love yourself to know how to love your neighbor. We always focus on how to love our neighbor, but forget that the simile compares the love you should have for your neighbor with the love that you have for yourself.
By this logic, if you hate yourself, you'll treat your neighbor the same. If you cannot give yourself grace, how will you possibly offer it to others around you? We have internalized the message that forgiving ourselves for some failures is impossible, and so we withhold the same forgiveness from others. It is a poisonous cycle, one that we must reverse to even possibly change the way the world is now.
Kendrick Lamar recently released a new song called "i," in which he raps about depression he's faced since adolescence and a world out to crush his spirit. He responds to these struggles with a rousing battle cry in the chorus: "I love myself."
In an interview with Hot 97, Kendrick stated that he wrote the song for "these kids that come up to my shows with these slashes on they wrists, saying they don't want to live no more." For those who don't see the light in themselves, Kendrick offers three words to change the language they use when speaking about themselves.
But I also feel as if Kendrick knows something about true humility as well. The title of the song is a lowercase i, which is printed clearly on the single artwork as well as the hat he wears during the interview with Hot 97. The lowering of the case seems to indicate that self-love does not equal pride. Loving yourself doesn't mean you place yourself on a pedestal; it just means you recognize your worth despite your flaws.
I started teaching an afterschool session with high school students about life after graduation. Each week we talk about different aspects of the college application process or college life. Today we discussed interview etiquette, specifically how to answer questions that ask you to speak well of yourself.
"There is a sweet spot of self-talk," I told them. "On one end of the spectrum, you can speak so poorly about yourself that no one will hire you or accept you into their college because you let them down before they got the chance to know you. On the opposite end, you can speak so highly of yourself that no one will accept you because they can't teach someone who thinks they have it all figured out."
A girl shot her hand up and asked, "But how do you find the balance?"
"Uhh…" I hesitated. How much should I say about my decade-long journey to love myself with a lowercase i?
I considered the pros and cons of spilling too many beans about Ben to my students, and then I went for it: "Look, I used to get bullied, and then I used it as an excuse to bully myself for a long time until I realized that until I loved myself, I wasn't going to be able to accept love from others or give love to others. So I just stopped bullying myself. Well, I didn't just stop. It took me a long time. Like, a really long time. It wasn't anything specific about me that I started loving. I just realized that I am worthy of love and I need to love myself. I'm full of flaws. But I also can talk about the good things I've done and be proud of them and not get a big head about them. I guess I'm saying all of this so that it doesn't you a decade to get to where I am. Cut the corner and start speaking well of yourself now, and eventually you'll believe it. Just don't be a jerk about it when you do."
I'm not sure if this was the answer she was looking for, but she started taking notes after I finished rambling. I'm no expert on how to self-love yet, but I have picked up a thing or two. And I love myself enough to believe that the ripples I set off in my students will be waves by the time they reach someone else.

Slumped Sun Devils head for Oregon StatePosted: Updated:
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Arizona State brings a five-game losing streak to Oregon State tonight.
With the forecast calling for showers and temperatures in the 40s, quarterback Rudy Carpenter seemed more concerned with the upcoming conditions than whether it's possible for Arizona State to win out and make it to a bowl game.
If the Sun Devils lose to the Beavers, they would match the school record for consecutive losses -- six, set in 1929. The 1929 team scored a total of 13 points and finished 0-6, losing home-and-home games to Northern Arizona.
Arizona State needs to win four of their last five to qualify for even a minor bowl berth. After the Beavers, the Sun Devils play Washington and Washington State, who are a combined 1-14 and have yet to defeat a major-college opponent. ASU finishes against UCLA at home and at Arizona.

Due to a long-drawn-out litigation between Argento and the Paramount Studios (who own the American publication rights), the movie "4 mosche di velluto grigio" has not been released in too many countries. Only Greek, France, and Belgium offered official VHS-tapes; all the other VHS and DVD releases are bootlegs. It was not until the year 2009, that the movie finally was officially released on DVD in the United States. Besides this problem, the releases also had other flaws regarding quality and censorship.

Over the weekend Todd and the littles excitedly joined in on a mini photo-shoot in our yard. And by that I mean, they were bribed. With some Christmas music and twinkle lights. You've gotta do what you've gotta do hey mamas!
I was wanting to get some photo Christmas cards printed this year and have been hunting around. But the frugal part of me was totally thrown by the cost! I searched high and low and then I found ones I loved on Snapfish. But they were going to cost forty odd dollars, without shipping. It may not seem like much to you, but to me, that's two Christmas presents of my super long list of nieces and nephews. Just as I was about to click away and go huff about it to Todd, I saw a little note at the top of the page. 50% off. Awesome! Only problem is it ended 11/11.
Only one solution. A super quick, mini photo shoot at home. After the inlaws left, but before the forecast storms hit. It was quite an event. I had fun, the kids in the end had fun, and Todd was a good sport about it. Even with super sore eyes, that were dying in the bright sunlight, with the added pain of smoke hanging around from bushfires nearby. Oh and 35 degree celcius heat.
I have discovered that he will get on board with anything. If I just ask nicely.
In the end we got a couple of great photos for our Christmas card and I ordered them and am now waiting impatiently for them to come.
But we also got a lot of really funny ones. And they were too good not to share.
Look at that enthusiasm!
Do you do Christmas cards? Custom or just a pack from the store?

When I made the decision to go vegan more than a year ago, I thought that truly delicious pizza – one of my favorite comfort foods – had suddenly become a thing of the past. I was willing to give it up, though, because I feel strongly in my convictions to maintain a vegan lifestyle; however, I was delighted to learn that I didn't have to. After many months of tinkering around with different recipes and trials on our weekly pizza nights, I am proud to share with you what I think is a pretty tasty vegan pizza recipe. It possesses all of the comfort and flavor of a traditional pizza while being 100% compassionate toward animals and the environment and completely free of cholesterol. Continue reading →

A (Vegan) Taste of Iowa: Plant-Based Dutch Letters
When I lived in Des Moines, Iowa, my perfect Saturday morning involved a long run, followed promptly by a stop at the downtown Farmers' Market to pick up a Dutch letter. Made of flaky puff pastry and filled with almond paste and brown sugar, the best Dutch letters come from Pella, Iowa's famous Vander Ploeg Bakery.
The Day I Stopped Eating Meat
It's been 55 days since I last ate meat. It was chicken, part of an improvisation on Mexican pozole that I had made for Halloween. As I was cooking the pozole, I hadn't planned on it being my last dish with meat, but somewhere between pulling the giant pot of finished soup off the stove and slurping down the last helping a few days later, something inside me had changed and I knew that meat on my meal plate had become a thing of the past. And it didn't stop there. Continue reading →
Making Dutch Letters: A Little Piece of Iowa in Riga
It's October, my favorite month of the year, and although autumn in Riga is thoroughly beautiful and colorful, I'd be lying if I said I haven't been feeling tremendously homesick lately. Homesick for which home exactly, I am not sure, as there have been many. What I am experiencing is perhaps better described as a homesickness for a feeling… one of comfort, peace, and coziness. When I think about of all of the places I have lived in my life, Iowa is quite possibly the place that evokes this feeling the most, and lately, I have been missing it quite a bit. Continue reading →
Banitsa: Bulgarian Comfort Food
It's been a long time since I've posted a recipe. It's also been a long time since I've cooked anything, as our move to Riga and extended hotel stay have not lent themselves to cooking and baking. It won't be long before we have a kitchen again, and as soon as we do, I will be back in my apron, making my favorite recipes and hopefully adding a few new ones. Continue reading →

Country star Blake Shelton is glad he filed divorce papers in Oklahoma because his split from wife Miranda Lambert was finalised before word of the big break-up leaked to the press.
The singers stunned fans in July (15) when they announced the end of their four-year marriage on the same day they became legally single again.
Now Shelton has opened up about the shock divorce for the first time, admitting their prenuptial agreement cut out any unnecessary drama.
During a radio interview on the Bobby Bones Show on Wednesday (23Sep15), the 39 year old said, "In Oklahoma, it happens so fast. Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement... Once we filed for divorce, it was over in, like, I think it was, like, a nine or 10-day waiting period until it's over."
He continued, "We knew if rumblings and rumours started coming out, they would just be that. By the time anybody knew anything, it was over... It was done."
The stars agreed Shelton would keep his Oklahoma ranch, which the couple had used as its marital home, while Lambert received the keys to their retreat in Nashville, Tennessee.
Shelton explained, "Our whole thing was, 'We are going to be cool about this, it is what it is. We're buddies'."
The former couple had been together for six years before tying the knot in 2011.

Ubuntu VMWare Install
I wanted to see what WGetPro would do for me and I didn't find a Windows version so I installed Ubuntu in a VMWare server environment. I have been using Microsoft Virtual Server, but it looks like a pain in the neck to get Virtual Server to run Ubuntu.
- During the install it complained about the DVD disk not being able to be read from. I said retry about 15 times during the install process and it finally finished.
- After the install I was prompted with multiple update suggestions. I had to figure out how to set myself as ROOT so those updates would run.
- Got it down to about 8 updates that won't install :(
- I'm now trying to figure out where the "Filter" for the broken install packages:

This is what happens when you've got an army of marketing dweebs with nothing to do: As mentioned earlier today in a special WinInfo bulletin, Microsoft announced today that it is changing the name of Windows NT to Windows 2000, starting with the 5.0 release due next year. The NT name is officially dead and buried.
That's just great.
I think this is a big mistake. "Windows 2000" will go down in computing history as one the most bone-headed name changes ever. NT stands for "New Technology," a moniker that will never go out date, like say "Windows 95" and "Windows 2000."
Presumably, dropping the NT name allows Microsoft to convince the less technical among us that "Win2K" is a logical upgrade from Windows 9x. The NT name probably causes confusion for regular consumers, which represent the biggest single market out there. And NT has a certain reputation in the consumer market for being incompatible--with most DOS programs (especially games), hardware, and the like. NT has historically required more advanced hardware than the "standard" (3.x, 9x) versions of Windows too. Windows NT 5.0 Workstation--excuse me, Windows 2000 Professional--will require 64 MB of RAM to run like Windows 98 does with 32 MB of RAM.
I would like to remind Microsoft, however, that NT also stands for a few other things among those in the know. Things like stability. And security. And robustness. Those things that Windows has never stood for. You can't have it both ways: Naming every OS "Windows," from smart cards and embedded devices the way up to multi-processor servers is a huge mistake. And removing the NT name lumps what is now a premier operating system into a group of decidedly inferior OSes.
And I'm not alone in my disdain for this name. I received dozens of emails today about this, including one from a certain citizen of Redmond who shall remain nameless at his request.
"The marketing slimeballs who thought this up are the first up against the wall when the revolution comes. Of course, this may be unfair to both the bullet and the wall," he suggested.
You get the idea. Well, it's too late to change it. I wonder what the marketing gurus in Redmond are going to come up with for the next version?

Albania doesn't have ski resorts but it does have excellent ski opportunities, and one of the best and most scenic of all is the beautiful Valbona Valley, in the Tropoja District of Northern Albania.
Skiing in Valbona Valley is a discovery journey. Tourists don't flock here from all over the world – there are no ski lifts to take you up the peak; and no maintenance vehicles on the slopes. But there is a national park, Valbona Valley National Park (Parku Kombëtar i Luginës së Valbonës) – a wild mountainous region, with rich history, and traditions waiting to be discovered. It is a place where travelers are welcomed with a smile, and with the warmest human generosity you've ever imagined.
Valbona Valley is a year-round destination, however, winters are more scenic, and wilder – ideal for those with an adventure spirit. The village of Valbona is secluded, with few lodging possibilities for travelers, no stores, post office, doctors, gas station and so on.
If a Journey to Valbona tempts you, you can stay at Alfred Selimaj's Rilindja hotel, where the restaurant serves up traditional Northern Albanian fare, including whole goats roasted on a spit. There's a camping on site as well, charging only 5€ per person per night plus expenses for electricity and other services.
Another option, as interesting, is the Quku i Valbonës ('Valbona Hollow') guesthouse – a unique experience as well, where guests are treated with delicious traditional meals cooked with fresh ingredients grown at the farm. The prices are mind-blowing: 15€ per person, per night with breakfast; and 25€ per person, per night with 3 meals.

Screenwriter/director John Carpenter has built his career by being a contrarian in an industry controlled by traditionalists. His horror films such a Halloween (1978) and The Fog (1980) delve into the abyss of the darkest parts of human nature. Not only does Carpenter manage to be entertaining and revolting at the same time, but he also makes us aware of the evil that lurks inside of everyone.
His influence is resonant, and his films Halloween, The Fog, and The Thing have all seen their own remakes (although it's worth acknowledging that his Thing was a remake unto itself) and he was recently profiled on The Director's Chair on Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network.
Even in his best science-fiction/action films, he seems to be trying to tell the audience about the struggles we encounter in our lives and why they exist. It's like he has a secret and he is trying to share it through his films. Hit films such as Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and Escape from New York (1981) pit the average man against inhuman gangs, tyrannical governments, or other oppressive entities. Perhaps the one film that gets right to the core of Carpenter's little secret is They Live (1988).
The film tells the story of a drifter (Nada played by Rowdy Roddy Piper) who migrates to Los Angeles looking for work. He stumbles upon an innocent looking shelter. When he begins noticing strange happenings, he realizes this isn't a typical shelter. The truth is revealed to him when he discovers sunglasses that allow him to see "reality". The reality is that the people in power (police, politicians, wealthy business owners) are really aliens sent to earth to deplete its resources and render it dormant. They gain access to everything by using mind control techniques through subliminal messages on billboards, TV and radio broadcasting. Nada decides to confront these aliens to thwart their efforts to overthrow the earth.
If this sounds like something right out of a David Icke lecture or book, that thought might be right on target. Icke is an advocate against government intervention and conspiracy theories surrounding mind control and manipulation. He speaks extensively about the sun and moon's ability to control the energy of people on earth through magnetic vibrations. He has been called a nut-job by many. However, there are those who see validity in what he preaches. When films like They Live hit the big screen, it gives people reason to pause.
In the film, the aliens are depicted as having gooey, skeletal faces which become visible when they're viewed through Nada's special sunglasses. In true Carpenter form, the conflict is set between the average Joe and the unseen evils that oppress him. In this case, the evil looks just like everyone else unlike the villains in Carpenter's slasher/horror movies. Another fascinating aspect of this film involves the murder scenes. In most Carpenter films, murder is a graphic, vicious and violent act. In this film, he took a more reserved approach. It might be that he wanted people to hear the message without getting wrapped up in the fear and terror.
Carpenter, didn't however, make enough concessions when it came to on-screen brawls and lame, improvised one-liners. But hey, the film is all the more enjoyable for them. It's a pulpy genre-blender that pays tribute, in it's own way, to socially conscious science-fiction films from the fifties. Not Carpenter's best outing, as such, but an enjoyable film nevertheless.

A Daughter Growing Up With Horses
June 10th, 2013
What do you think a horse would be saying when we go do silly things such as dressing them up in all sorts of weird things. A party hat for example!
I think horses have feelings, can express themselves very well and definitely talk to us about the situation at hand.
Cascade in this photo had just tasted the salty water on our Perth roadtrip at the Nullabor and was not very keen on it
Bella in the top photo for example would have put her ears back if she wasn't happy, would not have stood still and would not have posed for the photo.
There are so many signs for a horse to tell us what they think.
Do you have any horse talk signs to share….

This small Callop had no trouble engulfing a whole, live shrimp.
Golden Perch, or Callop as they are commonly referred to in South Australia, are a native freshwater fish found throughout the Murray/Darling Rivers and Coopers Creek. They can grow to well over 5kgs, but a 2-3kg fish is a good one in the Murray River in South Australia.
They are nearly always found in and around snags of some sort and the best fishing here in SA is usually along steep banks with deep water and plenty of tree roots. It is not necessary to fish far from the bank, as long as there is some sort of cover for the fish.
About thirty years ago, my brother caught our first Callop from the shores of Lake Bonney at Barmera in the State's Riverland. We had been catching carp one after the other and the Callop was a pleasant surprise. After that, I saw a few more caught at Clayton on the Lower Murray, but it was on a house boat holiday on the River above Renmark when I really caught my first decent sized fish.
We were moored against the bank in a gap between extensive reed beds. We had been swimming in the river during the day, and the bottom was soft mud and not very deep, probably around 7 or 8 feet. There was a dead tree lying on the bank and it's roots extended across the reeds and into the water beyond. The spot where the roots disappeared into the water lined up nicely with one side of the house boat. So, from about 10 metres away, we could drop our live shrimp baits right amongst the roots.
As the sun set and just into the night, over a period of about an hour, we pulled at least 6 nice sized callop from that snag, as well as a few large carp.
Three nice sized Callop were pulled from this stretch of the River Murray near Moorook.
If fishing from the shore, Callop are best targeted from steep, deep water banks. Luckily several of the game reserves and areas of national park in the Riverland are perfect for this and it's possible to camp at your fishing spot. Places like Moorook Game Reserve, Lyrup Flats, Katarapko Creek and Ramco Point are good spots, along with a few others.
On the lower Murray, the bankside vegetation is different. At places like Tailem Bend and Wellington, you are most likely to find the Callop hiding amongst the willow tree roots and up against the reed beds.
The cliffs around Waikerie, Swan Reach and Blanchetown are also good spots for Callop, but access, if you are on foot, is difficult if not impossible. If you have boat though, it would be beneficial to use a sounder and look for deep holes and snags at the base of the cliffs.
Recently the trend has moved towards catching Callop on lures. At first trolling lures past likely looking spots resulted in quite a few Callop, usually on hard body minnow type lures or the big spinner baits. Now though, the trend has shifted to anchoring near a snag and jigging or slowly retrieving bladed or smaller minnow type lures.
My favourite method though is to choose a nice spot on the bank and fish any likely looking snags by using live shrimps on the "standard" River Murray rig of two hooks above a sinker. If there is no water flow, then you can do away with a sinker altogether. Gear does not have to be expensive. 10 to 15 pound line will be enough, with size 4 - 2 hooks.
Live shrimps are great bait, but if they are scarce, then tiger worms will also work. Unpeeled shrimp tail can also be used, and these can be very effective.
Summer and Autumn seem to be the pick of the months, but they can be caught all year round. Autumn is great. It is more comfortable to camp at that time of the year due to less mosquitoes and flies and the days are usually warm and calm.
Callop are nice fish to eat, especially fresh. They are lovely barbequed or wrapped in foil and cooked on the camp fire. If filleting them, make sure to remove the layer of fat lining their bellies. The fillets are also best skinned.
In South Australia the legal length for Callop or Golden Perch is 33 cm and the bag limit is 5 per person per day.

Odesza has graced us with not just one, but two original tracks in the past 24 hours. The first of which was "Line Of Sight" feat. WYNNE & Mansionair which dropped earlier today. The emotionally-heavy production featured a crunchy bassline, pulsating synths and bright percussion. ODESZA's latest, "Late Night", takes on a lighter, indie-leaning approach with scintillating melodies, atmospheric pads and ethereal vocals.
While the duo has yet to confirm if there's an album on the way or in the works, it's always good news to be receiving two brand new ODESZA releases in one day. Listen to "Late Night" below and enjoy!

text: Just a few questions. 1) Say that you have a GBA ROM in the NOR Flash Memory, can you over-write that ROM with another ROM? If no, can you free up that space with a dummy file? 2) Does you save for the GBA ROM in the PSRAM get deleted along with the GBA ROM when you power off?, if yes anyway of backing it up? 3) When saving in a GBA ROM does the EZ Flash 3-in-1 make a save file? (like the R4, it creates a .sav file which is your save) 4) If yes to number three does the saves get stored on the slot-1 device's memory stick? 5) Does the EZ FLash 3-in-1 come with software installed in it that lets you put games on the PSRAM and NOR Flash Memory, or would you need to use the software '3in1 ExpPack Tool by Rudolph' 6) Regarding the '3in1 ExpPack Tool by Rudolph', do you boot the .nds from the slot-1 device or the EZ Flash 3-in-1? 7) Is ALL gba games 32MB or 16MB? 8) Can you trim them like you can with NDS ROMS? 9) If you have a combo of a EZ FLash 3-in-1 and a R4 can you Backup the saves from a ORIGINAL DS Game cart? 10) If you have a combo of a EZ Flash 3-in-1 and a R4 can you DUMP a ORIGINAL DS Game card? 11) Does the EZ Flash 3-in-1 require a firmware? 12) Is the EZ Flash 3-in-1 skin-able? 13) is there a list of working/non working/rarely working games for the EZ FLash 3-in-1? 14) how many GBA ROMS do you think i can fit on a 1GB micro SD card? Thanks for your time, i may have more questions later on.
