Reading is an activity that most people enjoy and there are a large number of individuals who also like to write. Some authors are lucky enough to see their work published and a few even manage to win awards for their literary contributions. Recently, I contacted "The Writers Studio," a New York based organization that helps writers hone their craft and I have since penned a couple of articles about the group and the people who teach their writing courses.
Gifted writer and teacher Therese Eiben is one of The Writers Studio teachers. Therese teaches the "Level I" course in the classroom setting in New York City which means that she works with writers who are completely new to The Writers Studio. Therese also teaches the "Online Level IV" course so she works with very experienced writers too. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Therese about her experiences as a writer and teacher:
Q: How did you get interested in writing and teaching writing?
As many of my WS colleagues and students would answer the first part of your question, I've always written. I think some children latch on to words, find a fascination with language, and never let go. I remember as a seven-year-old I had a favorite book called something like "The Giant Book of Tongue Twisters." It completely pleased and entertained me, the word play and the surprised feeling in my brain when a word would appear where I expected a different word. I still remember my favorite tongue twister: "Old oily Otto oils old oily autos." Around that same time I had a favorite word: Oblivion. I wrote "poems" about oblivion. Now and again I would pace through the house with my arms extended in front of me like a person in a hypnotic daze chanting: "I'm falling into oblivion." I read practically non-stop as a kid. My family called me a house plant because they could never get me to go outside and play. I didn't have any particular literary discernment then, I just read the next book on the library shelf. That changed dramatically, however, when I was 14. I picked up one of my older brother's college English text books and read a short story by someone called Flannery O'Connor. I didn't know who she was and I didn't understand the story, which was "Everything That Rises Must Converge." But here's the thing: I knew there was something to understand. I knew that there was another layer of story that the author had provided…something underneath the words…and I was determined to figure out what that was. Suddenly I knew that there were books…and then there was literature. I jumped on the latter's band wagon then and there and never looked back.
As for teaching, I've taught on and off throughout my adult life, in graduate school and then later at a state college in New Jersey. I like teaching, especially adults. I like meeting people who are interested in words and craft as much as I am. I like opening a student's eyes to the power an author has over a reader when she deftly wields the tools of her craft. I especially enjoy teaching for the Writers Studio because it has a methodology that I think is unique, hugely helpful, and borne of a deep understanding of the creative process. Not surprisingly, that methodology was developed by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Philip Schultz, who founded The Writers Studio.
I learned about the Writers Studio in an unexpected way. Early in the last decade I was the editor of Poets& Writers Magazine. We often featured different schools of writing. Of course we covered MFA programs and Writing Conferences, but one day I came across an article written on spec by Duncan Bock, who was then one of Phil's Master Class students. Duncan described the school and the method and obviously we published it because the school offered something new and different. But what Duncan had to say about the WS stayed with me—it made so much sense to me. At that time a lot of writing schools promised to help a writer find "her voice." The WS had a different approach. It makes an important distinction between the author and the narrator of the story or poem. Whether first person or third person, there is always a narrator, an other, that is crafted by the author to tell the tale. I thought that was smart. And, it was a new idea to me. I called up the school and a few weeks later, I enrolled as a student. Again, I never looked back. I went through the five levels of the school and began teaching for the Writers Studio in 2007.
Q: What have been the most interesting and/or rewarding parts of writing and teaching?
I touched on this a bit answering your first question: Opening a writer's eyes to the power an author has over the reader through a deft use of the elements of craft. A writer can make a reader cry! Laugh! Moon around after finishing a book like a dream that has lingered on waking. Wondering what happened to the character after the story ends. And on and on. A reader in the midst of a great book never stops to think: Why am I turning these pages compulsively? Why is my heart in my throat? What is this tension I'm feeling? But a writer, if reading as a writer, asks precisely these questions because that is the way to understand craft. A writer needs to step back from the forward motion of the narrative drive and take a good long look under the hood. And that's one of the principle aspects of the WS: Teaching students how to read as a writer.
Q: How did The Writers Studio influence your writing and career?
The WS knocked me off my perch. And I mean that in the best possible way. I read somewhere recently that people who can write with ease and felicity have a hard time setting aside their instinctive ability and actually crafting language that a story or a poem demands. The WS teaches us, crucially, that there is a separation between the author (me, for instance) and the narrator. I need to craft a particular narrator, an other, to tell a particular story. Otherwise I'm just putting down in words the voice that lives in my head. The voice that writes my emails. The voice that gives language to my thoughts. The voice I never think about. That voice is not a narrator—it's me. Before I came to the WS, I was a felicitous writer with an unconsidered voice that sang prettily. Crafted the occasional impressive phrase…but had no business pretending to be a narrator. When I tried to use that voice in a piece of fiction, it failed miserably. It came off as inauthentic. That's what happens if there's no separation between author and narrator. One of my students called it, "Me in drag." The reader can always tell the author is simply wearing a wig and falsies. I owe the WS a debt of gratitude for helping me learn that crucial lesson. I consider my responsibility as a teacher to pass that lesson along to my students.
Q: What are your goals over the next ten years?
I think the pursuit of writing is like chasing the horizon. Or one of those crazy staircases Escher drew, where the top step turns into the bottom step of a different staircase and on and on, ever unfolding. In ten years I intend to know even more about craft and to be able to articulate it more effectively to my students (and myself). I intend to wield my authorial power through the deft use of that craft to affect my readers in profound ways.
Q: Are you currently working on any projects that you would like to mention?
I'm in the middle of a manuscript that is narrated by a crafted character who is not me. Down here, off my perch, it's an exciting place to be.

Election Season Activites for the Campus Vote Initiative
Campus Compact has developed strategies to help students and others on campus create nonpartisan initiatives to encourage voter registration and participation.
Election Season Activities
Absentee Voting
In many states the deadline for requesting absentee ballots is several days to several weeks before Election Day. See TuftsVotes for registration deadlines. Campuses that have a large number of out-of-state students should alert them to the deadlines in their states and make sure they understand the procedure for requesting a ballot or changing their registration to their school address.
Students studying abroad can register and vote with an absentee ballot. The Overseas Vote Foundation provides detailed information on how to register as an absentee voter from abroad as well as deadlines for each state. For absentee ballot information within the US, see http://www.longdistancevoter.org/.
Some Helpful Tips for Students
- After determining their respective state's deadline, students should make sure they leave time for all of the mailing that must take place for their vote to be counted (i.e., they must mail in their request, the state must mail them a ballot, then they have to return the ballot to the state).
- Many states allow family members to request and pick up in person an absentee ballot on the voter's behalf. If students wait too long to mail in their request, they can have someone else pick up a ballot and express mail it to them at school.
- In most cases, the requisition process will be much easier if students have their voter registration card ready.
- Students can access their state Board of Elections' website for specific information about requesting an absentee ballot in their state. Find voting policies in your state.
Some Helpful Tips for Campuses
- Include information about absentee voting in the voter registration material you provide to students.
- Begin reminding students about absentee voting at least one month prior to the election.
- Host an "Absentee Voting Party" once students receive their ballots with refreshments; invite a notary public, since some states require absentee ballots to be notarized.
Recruit a cadre of student volunteers to go door-to-door in the dormitories asking students if they have registered to vote. Have registration materials ready so that those who have not already registered can do so on the spot. Leave door hangers when no one answers the door. Keep track of those who are registered so that you can return in the days leading up to the election and remind them to go to the polls. With particularly enthusiastic volunteers, a canvassing operation can also be taken out into the surrounding community. What is the National Form?
Phone Banking
Simply reminding people to go to the polls can have a significant impact on voter turnout. A useful strategy is to call students the day before Election Day and remind them to vote. Recruit 20-30 students to volunteer an evening to make phone calls. Let them use the phones in your institution's administrative offices. Provide refreshments and copies of the campus directory. (One person can usually place 20-25 phone calls in an hour.)
Pledge to Vote
Design a "Pledge to Vote" card that students can sign pledging to turnout at the polls on Election Day. Keep track of those who have pledged so that you have numbers to report to the press and so that you can remind folks to vote in the days leading up to the election. Ask students to include contact information so you can send them a reminder before the election.
Make the election a visible presence on your campus and find ways to integrate it into the campus culture. Campus Compact has designed templates for you to customize and use in your own campaigns.
Some Effective Advertising Techniques
- Place two or three large posters in high-visibility areas of campus encouraging turn out.
- Sponsor public service announcements in the student newspaper and on the student radio station.
- If possible, have the payroll office include with the next round of paychecks a short memo from the president's office reminding students to vote.
- Post a visible reminder to vote on the school's home page.
- Print door hangers listing polling places, which Plant Operations or your RA staff can hang on students' doors.
Work at the Polls
Sponsor a recruitment drive for students to work at the polls. The EAC has published Poll Worker Best Practices including A Guidebook for Recruiting College Poll Workers 16MB (this is a very large document).
There are also grants available to higher education institutions. The EAC has awarded $927,000 in college poll worker grants to help election officials recruit the next generation of poll workers.

Students living out of state may substitute a letter for an interview with the program coordinator. However, an interview must be scheduled as soon as possible after actual enrollment (except for MAT applicants).
A student can earn a second master's degree at Marygrove College if the second degree program of study is different from the first and both the program coordinator and Dean of Graduate Studies approve the plan of study. Students seeking a second master's degree can transfer six or nine graduate credit hours from the first degree program to the second, provided the hours fall within the time limit specified for a master's degree earned at Marygrove College. Note that the total number of credits transferred depends upon the number of credit hours required for the second degree. This information can be found in the "Transfer Credit" section and "Academic Policy" section of the Graduate Catalog.
If a student is interested in graduate courses for enrichment, the student must submit, before the first day of class, an application and a copy of either a transcript or diploma indicating the date of conferral of an undergraduate degree. In lieu of a transcript or diploma, the student must have an affidavit indicating the student has an undergraduate degree.
Admission to the Teacher Certification Program is distinct from admission to the College. Candidates for graduate programs leading to a teaching certificate must meet all criteria for admission to the Teacher Certification Program. Currently, the two graduate programs leading to Teacher Certification are Sage and Griot. These criteria are listed with the Sage and Griot program descriptions.
Graduate students matriculating at other accredited educational institutions are welcome to take courses at Marygrove College for the purpose of transferring credit to another home institution. Written permission must come from the Registrar or the Director of Graduate Studies of the home institution. A graduate guest form from the home institution or the Michigan Intercollegiate Graduate Studies (MIGS) form must be filled out before being admitted and registered at Marygrove College. This form must also bear the seal of the college/university.
Please note that the student will need to submit the guest form to the Office of Graduate Admissions prior to the beginning of the registration period of the term for which the student is enrolling.
If a student is a foreign national and wishes to pursue graduate studies at Marygrove College, the student is subject to the same admission standards and processes described in Guest Applicants with additional requirements based upon INS regulations. These additional requirements include:
English Language Requirements
If the student's native language is not English, the student is required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. Or the student may take the Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency offered by the Testing and Certification Bureau, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Only students with TOEFL scores of 500 or higher will be considered. Both examinations are readily available in centers located abroad. When making arrangements for either examination, test results should be forwarded to Marygrove College, Office of Graduate Admissions, 8425 West McNichols Road, Detroit, MI 48221-2599 USA.
Statement of Finances
The student must be able to prove that sufficient funds are available to meet all expenses for the school year as well as for vacation periods. A Statement of Finances is therefore required and must accompany the application for admission.
If the student is being sponsored for study in the United States by their own government, by the U.S. government, or by a relative or friend, this must be so stated and the person responsible for payment of educational and personal expenses must sign the statement. In order to be considered valid, all Statements of Finances must be notarized. Marygrove does not provide financial aid to international students.
Certificate of Health and Insurance
The Medical Examination and the Emergency Treatment Procedure Forms must be filled out and returned to the Office of Graduate Admissions at Marygrove prior to the issuing of a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20). This medical examination record will become part of the permanent health record.
All international students are required to purchase a health insurance policy providing for full hospital and medical coverage during their entire stay in this country as a student. Proof of payment of premiums must be presented to the Office of Graduate Admissions prior to initial registration. The international student may purchase health insurance from the business office.
Compliance with INS Regulations
Please note that in order to maintain F-1 student status, students must "pursue a full course of study and make normal (satisfactory) progress towards completion of a course of study." For graduate students at Marygrove College a full course of study is defined as six credit hours per term, with the exception of the Griot and Sage programs where a full course of study is nine credit hours. There may be certain exceptions when a student is in the last semester. The Graduate Admissions Office must receive all materials two months prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student plans to enroll.
Note that international students are required to report any status changes to the Graduate Admissions Office, such as an address change or a change in registration.

A new Beauty and the Beast teaser dropped during the Golden Globe awards giving us our first chance to hear one of the film's famous songs.
The latest TV spot for Disney's live-action remake of the beloved classic aired during this year's awards show and, while sporting a few new scenes and some better looks at Dan Steven's Beast, the short clip stands out mainly because it marks the first time we get to hear Emma Watson stretch her vocal chops.
Watson is probably the perfect choice to bring the bookish heroine Belle to life but, until now, fans had no idea how she'd handle the more musical requirements of the role. Well, it sounds like we shouldn't have worried. The new trailer features the actress giving voice to one of the film's most famous tunes — the movie's opening number.
Along with Watson's melodic musings, we also get a better glimpse of the animated characters including Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere and Cogsworth and a few scenes of Watson giving us serious Sound of Music vibes as she belts it out on the side of a mountain while wearing a frilly blue frock.
The one thing missing in all this? More scenes of Luke Evans as the dastardly Gaston and Josh Gad as his lovable crony Le Fou. Those two deserve their own evil buddy comedy flick. Get on it Disney.

It's not broken, it's being polished to shine brighter.
There is a Japanese technique from the 15th century of repairing broken things, for example, ceramics. The main idea was to never throw broken or worn out things away. So, those things were repaired and covered with resin-based varnish to which some gold, silver or platinum dust was added. The most common material was gold, which is where its name comes from: Kintsugi – Repairation with Gold.
The important idea behind it was to recognize that each piece was something of a great value and that its use, its cracks and other defects were part of its history. As well as our scars tell the story of our experiences and that everything can be fixed.
Although the main intention was to fix something broken to bring it back to life and give it use despite its defects, a new, unique and even more beautiful thing appeared from the reparation. Everything that once was broken started glittering like gold.
In fact, the pieces repaired with this technique acquired greater value. Today, they are more valuable than other antiques that have never been broken and repaired.
And why am I telling you this?
I think it's a wonderful analogy that we can apply to ourselves. When something goes wrong, when we fail, it's as if we were one of those porcelain pieces and had been broken, received a small crack or a bigger hit that can break us into pieces.
And we have two options here: we can let the failure separate our pieces forever, never again be complete and let that break change us in a negative way. Or we can collect our broken and scattered pieces and put them together and learn from what happened. When we are complete again, the result will be an improved and shiny version.
The point is that nothing can prevent us from failure, but we can make a decision that this failure only makes us improve.
So, next time you feel like you've failed or your plan hasn't come out as it should… think that your business is not broken, it's in the process of being improved, in the process of being polished to shine brighter.

Blogging My Way Through Historic Boston, Massachusetts
I traveled to historic Boston in the fall of 2015 to take part in the WITS15 conference (Women in Travel Summit) for travelers, travel professionals, and bloggers. It was a time of firsts for me.
My first solo trip not knowing a soul and my first trip as a blogger. Not only had it been twenty three years since I had been to the city of Boston, but it was also the first time in two years that I had witnessed and been part of a truly snowy climate.
Boston Accommodations
I arrived in historic Boston, Massachusetts and took a cab to our host hotel, The Revere, located downtown near the Theatre District and Chinatown. The Revere Hotel provided lovely accommodations at a discounted rate and hosted our convention on their stylish sixth floor. Even though I arrived prior to noon, my room was ready and waiting. The spacious room was decorated nicely with modern touches, the beds were ultra comfy, and we had a small balcony that was good for taking panoramic city photographs.
The Revere Hotel has a lovely swimming pool and exercise facility as well as some noteworthy onsite restaurants. The Rustic Kitchen is kitschy and fun, decorated in vibrant colors, and the food from room service is served from here as well. I personally enjoyed a Chicken Caesar Salad and Chicken Club Sandwich from room service, which was reasonably priced and delivered promptly.

Fresh Maryland Seafood
My first priority after check-in was to find a good lunch. I only had to cross the street to one of Boston's finest seafood institutions, Legal Sea Foods at the Park Plaza location. There I enjoyed a bowl of creamy Lobster Bisque and Tortilla Salad.
The Bisque had chunky fat lobster pieces peeking out of the center of the bowl. It was accompanied by two warm dinner rolls. The Tortilla Salad featured tart green apples, goat cheese, avocado, red peppers, and crunchy tortilla strips and was topped with so much succulent crabmeat that it looked like it had been snowed on.
The meal was pricey for lunchtime, $36.22 without tip, but I savored every bite of it.
Next I took a stroll through Boston Commons, the oldest park in the United States, located only a block or so away. Boston Commons is comprised of 50 acres and has set the stage for numerous TV shows and movies, and more importantly, many historic events. The architecture was spectacular.
Walking Food Tour
I signed up for a tour, Bittersweet Boston, in which seven of us ladies explored Boston, Massachusetts in search of chocolate and drinks.
We walked across the Commons to the subway station and were afforded a close-up look of the gorgeous Boston State House, which is also the state capitol and houses government offices. The subway ride on the T train seemed complicated. We ended up in Somerville for our first stop, the Taza Chocolate Factory.
Taza Chocolates Tour
Taza Chocolates are sold in many upscale stores, including Fresh Markets, across the country. Taza chocolates are made in a custom organic chocolate factory that uses old school vintage equipment & chocolate from Oaxaca, Mexico, which Founder Alex Whitmore stumbled upon.
Taza uses the stone ground process for their chocolate, a rustic process. Taza's tour costs $6 and lasts 45 minutes. Taza chocolate is unique in many ways and their chocolates are molded in disc shapes, called Chocolate Mexicano Discs.
We were led through the roasting, molding, unmolding, wrapping, and packaging processes, and our groups favorite, the tasting process. My group excelled in that one. We each tried the bits of cacao beans after they were freshly roasted, the chocolate nibs that are melted into the bars, the finished product (or well maybe 3-4 different kinds of finished products), the samples from their factory store, and some kickass hot chocolate. Wow, were they good! If I had to pick, I would say my two favorites were the Chocolate Coconut and Cinnamon.
Bantam Cider
We arrived at our next stop, Bantam Cider (a modern American cider taproom), thoroughly soaked to the bone from the wicked rain and chilled. Bantam is a local company that uses Massachusetts grown apples and quality all-natural ingredients to press and turn out some amazing hard ciders. The result, pure deliciousness and something new I had never experienced, nor was familiar with.
We all tried a flight of ciders (around $10) which came with five choices. Wunderkind, their most popular cider, has a 6% ABV and is described as "Sparkling wine yeast combined with a touch of flour-blossom honey". All of us liked this one but the group favorites were "Rojo", a tart and mildly sour cherry product, and "The Americain", which was an ale finished with rose petals, green cardamom, coriander, clove, and cinnamon. The three mentioned are mainstays on Bantam's menu and the rest of the flavors are subject to change.
Bantam's taproom was busy with guests enjoying a drink after work. All of the workers were uber friendly and knowledgeable. Our hostess showed us around the facility and detailed the cider making process.
It is a complicated but intriguing process and oh so modern. I was very gracious for the inside information as I feel so "cider versed" now. The taproom has a relaxing atmosphere with a nice choice of music and we really enjoyed our visit.
We concluded our evening at the last stop, "The Independent", where we had a nightcap and shared some chips with Gochujang spread. Order two, it is delicious! The "Man Moth", a cocktail made with Bourbon, Averna, cinnamon, honey, and whiskey barrel-aged bitters, was a bit hit with our group.
Boston's On Location Film Tour
The next day in Boston, Massachusetts began with a walk through the lovely Theatre District, a new part of the city for me. I enjoyed a coffee and bagel then set out for my tour of the day with On Location Tours,which takes you through the locations of TV shows and movies filmed in the city.
Marketing Manager Lauren met us at the hotel and brought us goodie tote bags. We loved the free swag! Our group was taken on a modern and comfortable bus for the next three hours through the many districts of Boston, while tour guide Javier enthusiastically shared trivia with us regarding films and tv shows that were filmed at the Boston sites.
Our first stop on the tour was to the L Street Tavern, made famous for the bar scene in a little movie you might have seen, Good Will Hunting. Bar owner Susan Woods invited us into her bar and hosted us for a drink while enjoying the film souvenirs.
Our bartender Ron so kindly served us his signature drink, "The Currant Affair", made with Currant Vodka, cranberry and lime juices, and Triple Sec.
More Film and TV Locations
On Location Tours took us to North End, Chinatown, South Boston, and nearly everywhere in between. Some movie sites we saw and learned inside secrets about included Glory, Legally Blonde, American Hustle, Ted, Blown Away, and Mystic River, not to mention dozens of others.
We made a quick stop by the real "Cheers" bar on Beacon Hill for a photo op and then to the location for one of the most pivotal rooftop scene from the movie "The Departed". Your trivia for the day is "What film that was set in Boston was the highest grossing film ever"? Answer, Jaws.
We were all feeling privy when they announced the news that On Location Tours would be merging with Old Town Trolley Tours in Boston for bigger and better tours. A few things we learned should be kept secret in case you readers end up taking the tour some day but two things I will share with you.
One is that the Harvard Library is most often filmed at other locations since getting into Harvard is truly very hard. The Social Network was, however, actually filmed at Harvard.
Second is that in the film Blown Away, which has a huge oil tanker explosion scene, the force of the explosion was not taken into correct consideration and during the filming, some 8,000 windows were blown out in local surrounding buildings. I highly recommend this tour!
More Fresh Boston Seafood
Once our studio tour was over, my friend Sheila and I decided to add some history to the mix for the day and headed to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum tour. We stopped along the way for a fresh seafood lunch at The Barking Crab.
I had the Naked Lobster Roll and she had the Crab Cake Sliders. The lobster roll was simply divine, perfectly poached lobster tossed with drawn butter and complimented with tangy coleslaw. Barking Crab's decor is interesting, beer good and cold, and location perfect for waterfront pictures.
Getting our History on at the Boston Tea Party Museum
The Boston Tea Party took place at Griffin's Wharf on December 16, 1773 when the Sons of Liberty dumped 342 East India Company tea chests from three trade ships into the Boston Harbor to protest the British government's tea tax, which in turn sparked the American Revolution. The cost to tour the replica ships at the Boston Tea Party Museum was $25 per person; tours are given every hour.
We were taken into the courthouse for the town meeting and given a disguise to wear along with a card showing us our identification for the tea party reenactment. The tea party itself was explained in a fun and lively way and once our revolt was established, we then followed our colonially clad guides into the museum and for a tour onboard the ships.
The film we saw was done in an impressive digital format, one that even Walt Disney himself would be impressed with. It was extremely lifelike and the whole tour did a fantastic job of explaining the tea party that in textbook format does not sound nearly as cool.
Following the reenactment, we stopped at Abigail's Tea Room for a coffee and hot apple cider. It is a cute little tea-room with tea, coffee, soups, sandwiches, and pastries with colonial costumed ladies walking around. Abigail's had a nice selection of Boston Tea Party souvenirs as well.
Boston, Massachusetts' Ongoing Pastry Battle
On the walk home, we decided to take the challenge that many locals have in choosing the best bakery between Modern Pastry and Mike's Pastry. We came upon Mike's first and were overwhelmed by all the sensational choices. I opted for the Amaretto Cannoli and Sheila chose a Vanilla Cupcake. The lines were huge and it was very chaotic.
We walked in Modern Pastry and although I liked their decor much better than Mike's, nothing looked appealing to me so I default to Mike's as the winner. That cannoli did not stand a chance. Cannoli zero, Melody one.
The WITS15 Blogger Conference Officially Begins
The bloggers at WITS15 attended the WITS Opening Party at the WeWork South Station. Several local businesses provided wines, beer, and foods for our group. The venue is a coworking office space a professional business address, conference rooms, internet, and kitchens with a fun and festive atmosphere.
My favorite offering of the night was the quinoa salad made by Joe's American Bar & Grill.
The weekend kicked off the festivities for our blogger convention with 2 to 3 platforms running simultaneously with speakers on blogging, traveling, and other topics of interest. The day was cram packed and between classes were many on-site vendors demonstrating their products, giving mini-manicures, discussing their volunteer opportunities, and more.
Our lunch was sponsored by Corning-Gorilla Glass and prepared and served by the hotel. We finished up our day with more knowledge, new friends, and many ideas.
Stepping Out on my Last Night
Erin, Sheila, and I decided to walk to the North End to have a classic Italian dinner. Grabbing a cab from our hotel was merely $5 tops. We stopped by the famous Paul Revere House, located along the Freedom Trail and downtown Boston's oldest building, en route to dinner. Silversmith Paul Revere purchased the house in 1770 and lived here with his mother, wife, and five children.
Revere became known after his midnight ride to warn that the British Troops were coming to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and was not particularly well-known until he was immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Poem "The Paul Revere's Ride".
The North End, specifically Hanover Street, is nothing short of spectacular for foodies & particularly those who appreciate fine Italian meals. The cobblestone streets and classic restaurants are all appealing and it is very hard selecting just one. We must have read twenty menus before making our choice to dine at L'Osteria.
Erin ordered the nightly seafood special and Sheila & I chose Classic Lasagna. We were all pleased with our dinner; the lasagna was sweet and cheesy with delicate homemade noodles, huge portions, and decent service. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and even better, their prices were affordable.
We concluded our night by popping in in the Beantown Pub and drinking a Samuel Adams while overlooking his grave located across the street. After leaving the pub, we walked to the Granary Burying Ground but the gates are locked at night. It is amazing that so many famous people are buried right here in this part of downtown, including John Hancock and Paul Revere.
The trip concluded for me a day early, as I had to leave for a family emergency. I am grateful for the opportunity to have gone back to Boston after so many years, but I still have many things to see and do there.
Boston is a history lovers dream destination and the arts, food, shopping, and cultural scene make it quite the perfect vacation. My next visit will begin with a day exploring the cute houses and shops on Back Bay. Other great things worth seeing that I have done in the past, include walking the Freedom Trail, visiting Harvard and MIT campuses, eating your way through Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and shopping on Newbury Street.
I will be back Boston!
Trivia: The three ships that were boarded to dump the tea during the Boston Tea Party were the named Eleanor, Dartmouth, and Beaver.

Fun Aluminum Wrap Ring! Stamped as shown on the outside; also has a tiny heart stamped on the inside.
This ring is stamped, formed and finished by hand.
ABOUT ALUMINUM: Aluminum is a hypoallergenic metal that does not tarnish or change color. It is VERY lightweight - which makes it a great option for a ring. It is also flexible, so you can shape your ring to fit you perfectly!
Do not let the weight or flexiblity of this metal deter you - these rings are durable (they are metal, after all), and they wear quite well. However, they are priced as fashion jewelry (under $20, yay!), making them a fun accessory that will last you a long time.
***ABOUT THE BLACKENED LETTERING: Due to the amount of "action" a ring sees, the black does not stay in the letters permanently. If your black starts to fade, you can fill in your letters with a Sharpie! Just color them in, let it dry a few minutes, then wipe the excess ink off the ring with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.

PASADENA (Aug. 8, 2017) – The Caltech baseball team has announced its schedule for the 2018 season, which will include 23 home games.
Head Coach Matt Mark's squad will open the season with a non-conference game against Occidental College on Saturday, Feb. 3 at noon to kick off a four-game home stand that concludes with a three-game series versus Providence Christian College. The Beavers host PCC at 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 9, with a seven/nine-inning doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. the following day. Rising junior Mark Burleson (Ladera Ranch, Calif. / Tesoro) plated three in the second game of a doubleheader split against the Sea Beggars last spring.
Caltech opens conference play quickly at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps for the second straight year the weekend of Feb. 16-17, with the Saturday doubleheader played in Pasadena. Series against the University of La Verne and Oxy are set for the following two weeks heading into a six-game Spring Break schedule still to be determined.
The Beavers continue SCIAC play against the University of Redlands in Pasadena on Friday, Mar. 23 before hosting a midweek game with Middlebury College on Tuesday, Mar. 27 at 3:30 p.m.
The most anticipated series of the season arrives the following weekend as Caltech heads to Pomona-Pitzer Colleges on Mar. 30 and hosts the next-day doubleheader. The Sagehens suffered defeat to Caltech on Mar. 31 this past year for the Beavers' first SCIAC victory since 1988 and narrowly escaped with a walk-off victory in the 10th inning the next morning.
Caltech enters the final month of the season with three SCIAC opponents in succession, beginning with Chapman University and Whittier College, against whom the Beavers claimed their second SCIAC win of the past 30 years (Caltech's previous SCIAC victory in 1988 also came against the Poets). The conference slate concludes with a series against defending Division III national champion California Lutheran University, with the Beavers hosting the Friday game on Apr. 20.
Coach Mark and the Beavers will end the regular season with a trip to the Midwest for a three-game series at the University of Chicago on Apr. 28-29, with the SCIAC Tournament set for the first weekend in May.
Follow and show support for your Caltech Beavers on Twitter (@CaltechBeavers), Facebook, YouTube and Instagram!

Things I have learned thus far from my time working in Mersin:
Once a black sheep, always a black sheep.
- I have realized , without a doubt, that I will always be a (loud mouthed) introvert, someone who voices opinions with no fear or care as to what anyone else thinks, but who also doesn't live for an audience, and really really really needs her alone time. I would yell as loudly my feminist, socialist, blah-blah-whatever beliefs to an empty room as a crowded hall *or here as the case may be, to an invisible online crowd*. I don't fit in with "normal" extroverted people, I never will and I am totally okay with this, which I think makes me appear even more the weirdo. Its one thing to be "shy" (which i'm not but sometimes you have to use a simple vocabulary with simple people), but WANT to fit in with the group and look on enviously , because normal functioning dull people understand this, but when you honestly don't give a damn, you are HAPPY to be alone and WISH you could find more than a random minute in an 8 hour day to sit alone with your lunch…you totally confound them. I love the absurdity of it all, even thought it gets tiresome to have to play along with their requests of "be more active with the students!! Sing a song! Jump up and down for no reason and be totally happy about the blistering temperatures and the fact you are getting paid 2 bucks an hour to babysit dozens of wealthy Turkish kids!!!". Being a camp counselor is probably the worst suited job for me, but its kind of hilarious really. I wish that I could bond with the black-sheep-type students, the artist bookworm weirdos….but it occurs to me that black sheep students wouldn't be caught dead in summer camp and are probably busy catching frogs in a polluted river, barefoot and covered in dirt and stealing cookies from their neighbours kitchens, or alone in the park reading disturbing comic books, having begged their parents NOT to send them to summer camp.
- Fitting in with the theme of being the black sheep, is the archetype of ugly duckling. Now I have been complimented more in the middle east than anywhere else, and over the past decade as well have received many compliments that should, in theory, provide proof to me that I am a very attractive person, and maybe, even dare i say, "pretty". None of them, however, have ever made me actually think "hey..wait, I AM pretty!!" more than a 13 year old boy saying over lunch, to another teacher, in broken English while gesturing to me, "she is very beautiful teacher!!". It made me blush, because I thought, here is the most genuine opinion, he has no reason to lie and say such a thing, and it MUST be true! haha. It made me so happy. Kaan…I love you! you are the first person whose compliment actually really meant something!!
- Living with roomate's really sucks sometimes, especially messy Turkish girls that I get the feeling have been somewhat spoiled all their lives and don't understand the concept that dishes don't do themselves, and groceries actually cost money! These girls are 24. I don't understand how this is possible, but i do my best to ignore it by buying my own 'Suzme' yogurt (ridiculously rich and pressed to be almost like a dessert WHILE BEING SOMEHOW STILL LOW FAT OH MY GOD ITS A DREAM COME TRUE) which i then try to hide in the back of the (near empty) fridge.
- I am not, even though I tried desperately to wear the short shorts and flip flops and have developed a tan that beats even the Turk's ….a beach person. I hate the humidity. I hate the vacant, extroverted, mindless beach people. I hate having to explain why I don't particularly care for swimming and have people stare at me blankly. I belong in the desert, where the days are hot and the nights are cool, where I can be alone with my thoughts and the stars and the comfortable cocoon of silence… and that's that. Cappadokkya is literally calling my name at this point.
- Working fulltime for 150 lira a week really makes one feel like a slave but also makes one develop the greatest attitude of indifference. I eat the giant free breakfasts and lunches and play table tennis when im supposed to be doing something else. I sneak on the internet when im supposed to be building "team spirit" over the lunch break. And I have no fear because what are they going to do' fire me?? Please! I am only here still because some of these kids are so darn wonderful that i would feel horrible abandoning them.
- Going to a dentist in Turkey is a very quick, relatively painless experience... though i am slightly unnerved why a root canal is taking 3 separate appointments, nevermind recieving medical care in a country where people think arts-and-crafts glitter causes Cancer (??!!), yet seem to have no issue with the toxic bugspray that plumes in giant smokey clouds around the residential apartments, every single night.

The council wants Clarkston, Stamperland and Busby residents to tell them how to spend £100,000 on local cycling and walking routes.
The cash has been provisionally granted by the Sustrans Community Links programme, and follows sessions last year where improved accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians emerged as a priority.
A drop-in event is being held at Clarkston Halls on Wednesday, August 23, from 1pm to 6.30pm, to give residents the chance to pass on their views.
East Renfrewshire Council says opportunities may include safer routes to schools and improved access to shops and services in Clarkston town centre.
It could also explore better links between Overlee Park, Busby Glen and Greenbank Gardens – and tackle safety concerns said to deter journeys by foot or bike.
Environment convener Councillor Alan Lafferty said: "Changing the way we travel can make our towns and communities healthier and better places for all of us.
"Opening up options for travelling shorter journeys between our communities and greenspaces could help transform our area, reducing reliance on cars, improving local air quality and tackling congestion."
He added: "I encourage residents to come along to our engagement event or share their views online and help us shape a plan to make walking and cycling easier and more enjoyable in Clarkston, Stamperland and Busby."
Research from Sustrans Scotland is claimed to show that cycling rather than driving could save the average person up to £2,000 a year, without giving up your car.
Sustrans Scotland community links manager Tom Bishop said: "This funding will help to support the first phase of a long term aspiration to improve active travel in Clarkston, Busby and Stamperland so that more people are able to walk and cycle for more of the journeys they make every day.
"The project aims to enhance the walking and cycling network and meet the needs of local communities by providing better links to services and amenities."

There Is More Than One Way to Get Rid of Gophers
You'll know as soon as gophers take up residence in your yard because you'll see holes. Your plants will start dying. It won't be unusual to see furry little heads pop up now and then, with what appears to be a diabolical grin. You might think gophers were cute if they were somewhere else, but right now all you want is to get rid of them. You would prefer not to put out poison because you don't want to harm other creatures. Are there natural ways to get rid of gophers? Are there ways to just repel them, so you don't have to kill them? Read on for our tips on how to get rid of gophers.
Table of Contents
Gophers Are a Problem
Gophers create many problems when they invade your property. They dig a complex network of moderately deep tunnels. Their tunnels serve to aerate the soil, which is beneficial in the wild.
Their tunnels widen into areas for:
- Nesting,
- Eating,
- Storing food,
- Depositing waste matter.
Gophers are commendable for their ability to keep all the functions of daily life in separate areas.
Unfortunately, their home building efforts lead to a negative impact on your property.
They inflect damage by:
- Eating your vegetable garden.
- Destroying your flowers, trees, and other landscaping.
- Chewing holes in your watering system.
- Diverting your water and causing erosion.
- Leaving ugly dirt mounds all over.
Gophers can do an immense amount of damage in a very short time.
What Attracted to My Yard?
Gophers have eyes and they can see, although poorly. They navigate by sensing vibrations. They can sense vibrations that you probably aren't aware of. For example, the water in your irrigation lines and spigots vibrate. That tells them there's moist ground, which is easy for them to dig. It also means food is growing there. Even small battery-operated devices emit vibrations that gophers find attractive.
They also have a strong sense of smell. Gophers find their food primarily by smell as they're digging. Tuberous plants provide one of their favorite foods. They also love the leafy plants, such as lettuce, in your vegetable garden. If you have a healthy lawn, it will have a root system that provides tasty meals to gophers.
When Will I See a Gopher Pop Out of A Hole?
Gophers prefer to stay underground as much as they can. If you see one pop up out of a hole, it's usually just pushing dirt out. You may occasionally see one a few inches away from its hole, eating a plant. More often, they'll just burrow under the plant and pull it into their hole to eat. In snowy climates, you might see a gopher that's eating tree bark.
Other than during breeding season or when mothers are caring for their young, gophers live alone. You might see the young gophers leaving their birth nests to establish their own homes.
Gophers start reproducing themselves when they're about a year old. In ideal environments, they can have as many as three litters a year. Otherwise, litters are limited to one a year. Litters average five or six pups. Gophers live for about three years.
Gophers do not hibernate, although you might not see them during adverse weather conditions. They are also active day and night.
How Do I Find Tunnels?
If you plan to trap or use poison bait to eradicate gophers, you need to locate their main tunnel. Using a gopher probe works better than blind luck. You can purchase a probe or make your own. It just needs to be strong enough to penetrate the soil.
Most people have success following this process:
- Look for a fresh mound of dirt.
- Examine the opening for a dirt plug.
- If it has a plug, it's active; if not, move to another mound.
- Start probing about a foot away from the plugged opening.
- If your probe suddenly drops several inches, you've located the main burrow.
- If not, keep probing slightly closer or slightly further away.
Once you've located the main burrow, set your trap or bait.
How Can I Remove Gophers?
As with other pests, there is more than one way to get rid of gophers.
You can:
- Try to repel them.
- Construct barriers to prevent their entrance.
- Set traps.
- Use poison baits.
- Use fumigants, explosive devices, or gasses.
If your neighbors also have gophers, you'll probably have to coordinate your efforts with them.
Factors that can influence your choice include:
- Whether your intent is to repel gophers or kill them.
- How large your property is.
- How much of your property is infested.
- If children or pets play in your yard.
You'll also need to consider whether the eradication method you choose will harm birds or other wildlife in the area. You can learn about other ways of gopher control here.
What Are Some Good Removal Methods?
People often choose to kill gophers as a way of getting rid of them. Setting gopher traps is effective if you can find the main burrow. Experts recommend the Macabee trap as a good choice.
Types of traps include:
- Twisted-wire trap.
- Red box trap.
- Black hole trap.
- Black box trap.
- Death Clutch wire trap.
Regardless of which brand or kind of trap you purchase, buy at least two.
You won't be able to determine from looking a tunnel which way the gopher is digging. That makes it necessary to set two traps, facing opposite directions. That way, no matter which way the gopher digs, it will run into a trap. If you can afford to do so, buy enough traps to set two in each gopher hole you can find. There's more information on using gopher traps here.
Using Poisons
If you choose to use poison, you need to understand that effective products contain strychnine. You cannot use poisons in locations where a child or pet can get into it. You will need to find gopher tunnels that are deep and use a funnel or bait applicator to pour in the bait.
Strychnine kills gophers with just one feeding. It also kills anything that eats the dead gopher. Because strychnine is so lethal, it's marketed in fewer and fewer outlets, and you may have difficulty in finding it. This article has more information on how to kill gophers.
My Yard
Traps are most effective in small yards, especially at the beginning of the gopher invasion. If you have a large area or if your yard is continually infested with gophers, then poison bait can be a better choice. It's easier to use than setting multiple traps.
If you can't buy strychnine in your area or prefer not to use it, look for gopher bait made with zinc phosphide. Like strychnine, it kills gophers with one feeding. However, it isn't as toxic to the animals that eat the dead gophers as strychnine is. Chlorophacinone is another gopher poison. Gophers have to eat large amounts of it before they die.
Some homeowners use rat bait to kill gophers. That's iffy at best. It has to be appealing enough to the gophers for them to eat it, which is usually isn't, and they have to eat a lot of it. You're better off to use products intended for gophers.
Because gophers and moles live underground, and they both destroy yards, homeowners often aren't able to tell the difference between them. They do look different, but perhaps the easiest way to determine which is invading your property is to look at the mounds they leave.
Moles dig shallow tunnels that leave a raised ridge on your lawn. Their mounds are cone-shaped and look like tiny volcanoes to most homeowners. Gopher tunnels are deeper and not visible on the surface. A gopher mound is crescent or horseshoe shaped. Active gopher holes will also have a plug of loose dirt.
A mole is not a rodent. A gopher is a rodent. Because of their differences, repelling or eradicating either requires different methods. That's why it's important to know which pest you have.
Other Ways
You can purchase fumigants, gasses, and explosive devices designed to kill gophers. Explosives will kill the gophers immediately if correctly placed.
Fumes can kill the gophers directly or cut off their oxygen and suffocate them. Success with this method is limited, because the gopher's superior sense of smell will detect any fumes before they can be lethal. Gophers are fast diggers, and they can seal off any tunnel before the fumes reach them.
Fumigants or gasses should be inserted into every gopher hole in your yard and all of them started at the same time. Miss a hole or start them intermittently, and the gophers win. The advantage of fumigants and gasses is that they are safer than traps, poisons, or explosions.
Naturally Methods
Once gophers invade your yard, it can be an unending task to get rid of them. The ones you kill will be replaced by others for as long as your yard provides a desirable habitat for them. You may have more success by making your property inhospitable to gophers. Combine that with repelling them for the best results.
Methods you can try include:
- Plant in raised beds.
- Install a layer of hardware cloth under flower beds.
- Place galvanized wire shields around individual plants.
- Bury fences underground and extend them a foot above ground.
- Plant a barrier of rhizomes.
You can also purchase a non-toxic solution that has an odor gophers find unpleasant. It repels them when it:s spread over your property.
Try growing plants that gophers dislike.
These include:
- Castor bean,
- Euphorbia lathyris (gopher spurge),
- Garlic,

- Legumes,
- Rhubarb,
- Squash.
Local nurseries can advise you as to which plants will grow in your area and may know of indigenous varieties that repel pests.
Remove Without Killing
One of the best ways to remove gophers without killing them is by using live traps. You can then relocate the live gophers into the wild.
You can also use devices that make annoying noises or vibrations that disturb gophers.
Homeowners have also tried a variety of non-toxic home remedies to repel gophers.
These include, but aren't limited to:
- Filling the gopher hole with used cat litter or dog feces.
- Placing dead fish or fish scraps in the gopher hole.
- Scattering coffee grounds around the gopher holes.
- Stuffing new fabric softener sheets in the holes.
- Spraying the area with a mixture of tabasco sauce, hot peppers, or chili pepper.
Anything you place in a gopher hole should be covered with a light layer of soil.
My Back Yard
You can eradicate gophers in your back yard in much the same way as you get rid of them anywhere else on your property. What makes back yards more of a problem is that's the area in which children or pets most frequently play. Their activities can limit your choices.
Although certain vibrations attract gophers, in general they dislike noise. Some homeowners have used portable radios to their advantage. Simply turn on the radio, seal it in a plastic bag to protect it from moisture, and stick it in the gopher hole. Gophers apparently don't like music.
You can also use wind chimes. Although the sound they make is pleasing to most people, gophers don't care for it. They move to a quieter habitat.
My Lawn
You need to take steps to stop gophers as soon as you see the first mound or gopher hole. One gopher can devastate your lawn quickly, and others will soon follow. There can be up to 60 gophers living in one acre. Other pests can also occupy deserted gopher tunnels and burrows.
Using natural predators can help you get rid of gophers without destroying your lawn.
These include:
- Your cat or dog, if it's a hunter.
- Owls.
- Snakes.
You can talk to local wildlife experts about the best way to attract gopher predators and safety precautions you need to take.
It doesn't take gophers long to dig tunnels and leave holes all over your yard. Not only are the results unsightly, but you can also potentially break your ankle or leg if you unwittingly step in a gopher hole. Although they are usually just destructive pests, gophers can and do bite humans. Their bites can transmit the viruses that cause meningitis, encephalitis, and plague. Gophers can be beneficial in the wild, but you need to know how to get rid of them if they invade your property.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein

The Queensland parliament was prorogued on
22 January
1879 - the day after McIlwraith was installed as premier - to allow
time for his ministry to contest by-elections.
During the recess, on 23
March 1879, the president of the legislative council, Sir Maurice
Charles O'Connell, who had held the post since August 1860, died.[1] In replacing him, it was important that the
'right' person be appointed, for in the absence or death of the governor, they
would assume those duties. The Telegraph
paper suggested that Douglas would be a
suitable choice: "The colony at large would have gladly seen Mr. Douglas in the
presidential chair; the post is one for which he is eminently fitted."[2]
Unfortunately, for Douglas, two factors were against him. The first was that the Liberals were in opposition, and, as the paper glumly observed, it would be "Too much to expect a political party to display such a refinement of Christian spirit as to hand over its first plum to a political opponent."[3]
Despite this, any decision by McIlwraith and his ministry not to recommend Douglas would have been a difficult one, because if Douglas were selected then McIlwraith would have "gracefully disposed of one of the ablest of the opposition and a formidable adversary."[4]
The second factor was equally insurmountable and concerned the unsuitability of Douglas's wife. As the Colonial Office assistant under-secretary, John Bramston, remarked to Governor Kennedy:
I see that Mr. Douglas is mentioned in the slips, but his appointment would for social reasons have been a serious mistake.[5]
The position went to Joshua Peter Bell, a squatter and the member for Northern Downs, in a decision that met with general approval.[6] Less than a year later he spent eight months as the administrator of Queensland.[7]
When parliament reconvened, Douglas announced his retirement as leader of the opposition and Griffith succeeded him.[8] However, the reality was somewhat different, for at a meeting of the members of the opposition,[9] Douglas had voluntarily resigned rather than be summarily deposed.[10] The Brisbane Courier lamented Douglas's departure as leader of the opposition,[11] but William Coote, writing in the Week, believed that Griffith was the right choice - a younger man, with a clear head, a cool cautious temperament, and more energy. As for Douglas, Coote noted that he was:
Scarcely the man to be the successful leader of a turbulent political party in a parliament where personal feeling as well as party spirit runs high.[12]
Douglas was too principled and even-handed to be a successful factional leader and lacked the necessary ambition and ruthlessness to counter McIlwraith, traits Griffith had in abundance. Douglas, relieved of the leadership, thereafter exercised in parliament a "liberty of action and freedom of expression and opinion" free of factional constraints.[13]
Douglas now acted as an 'independent Liberal' and expressed his own thoughts and opinions while acting in the best interests of Queensland. He was never a strong supporter of political factions, considering it undesirable for parliament to "absolutely divide into two hostile camps."[14]
