Kip Chase '03

Kip explained that an alumnus is a contributor in the broadest meaning of the word – Kip explained that contributing means taking an active role in the Wabash community and putting forth the effort to make the community stronger and better in every way possible.
Many areas alumni joined the Class of 2009 for dinner and shared their perceptions of life as an alumnus.

Inspired by the new iPad ...
Okay, I can't take credit for it. The Onion had this great story about the amazing power of the iPad. That made me think - I wonder if you can could now use Perl on the new iPad from Apple. I'm still not sure. But, you can read several of your favorite books on the new Apple iPad. I couldn't really find anyone scripting Perl on the new Apple iPad so not much more to say except to quote The Onion "new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad."

What?! No comments?!ReplyDelete
AFAIK, it is possible to use Perl on iPhone. So it should be possible to use on iPad.ReplyDelete
currently the only option to run perl on ipad is to jailbreak your ipad and following the instruction of this website to install perlReplyDelete
try to use cpanm to install modules instead of cpan to avoid out-of-memoryReplyDelete

The challenges for the 2013-14 fiscal year for Davidson County Schools will be operating with reductions in state and federal funding that will have to be absorbed on the local budget level.
The challenges for the 2013-14 fiscal year for Davidson County Schools will be operating with reductions in state and federal funding that will have to be absorbed on the local budget level.
The board of education received its first glance Monday at next year's local current expense budget. The system plans to ask the Davidson County Commissioners for a 3 percent increase over last year's request.
If approved, the county schools will have a total operating budget of $28.8 million next school year. Added to the amount requested from the commissioners, $22.1 million, is $5 million from the system's fund balance and other appropriations, such as from fines and forfeitures.
Last year the system received $21.5 million from commissioners. The system is hoping to receive $644,698 more next school year to help reach its goals for next year — to provide technologies to operate various instructional and data management platforms for students and staff; to continue to support and maintain the Yadkin Valley Career Academy; to upkeep maintenance of buildings and parking lots to prevent extensive damage; and to maintain the current workforce at the current level.
The local budget does not include state or federal funds. The system is already projecting $5.5 million in reductions ($4.9 million in discretionary funds that has to be returned to the state and $532,186 in sequestration funds on the federal level) that will have to be absorb on the local level.
Pam Sink, chief finance officer for the system, also noted that according to the governor's budget there will be a 1 percent salary increase. There will also be 1 percent increases with FICA employer and retirement employer matching. All of those items are reasons the systems seeks more money from the commissioners.
The system also has the task of funding an additional grade at Yadkin Valley Career Academy. The school opened this school year with more than 50 freshman at Davidson High School as a new model of innovative education focusing on entrepreneurship; the science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, training workforce; and 21st century work skills. The school is currently in the recruiting stages for next school year.
Other reasons for the additional amount of money involve the increase of computer hardware, equipment and software, as well as supplies, materials, workshops reproduction cost utilities — electricity, water, sewer and gas— and contracted services. The district also seeks more money for its Stoner-Thomas School and Teen Parent programs.
The system is also seeking a 3 percent increase for its capital outlay budget, which is $73,188 more than what they received last year from the county that will give them $2.5 million.
Sink reminded the board that out of its category I funds they are required to pay $220,014 on their debt service for the U.S. Qualified School Construction Bonds, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that administers "low or no interest" bonds for renovations or new buildings.
Some of the projects under category I include: asbestos abatement, water line replacement at Fair Grove Elementary, intermediate metal roof and boiler at Denton Elementary, water line at North Davidson High School, water line replacement at Tyro Middle School, American Disabilities Act upgrade at Pilot Elementary and an extended stage at Central Davidson Middle School. Category II and III projects are equipment school allotment, computer equipment, furniture, state bus, activity bus and cars/trucks.
The board will vote the May 6 meeting to send the proposed budget to the commissioners for consideration. On that night a public hearing will be held as well. Community members can contact the system to request copies on the budget.
In other news, the board:
• Was presented with the 2013-14 calendar for the Yadkin Valley Career Academy. Principal James Fitzgerald presented the board with a calendar that was congruent with Davidson County Community College due to its partnership where students are taking classes on the campus. This year the school operated on the same calendar as the school system.
The school proposed starting on Aug. 7 to get students familiar with the setting and school before classes on the college campus start on Aug. 19. Due to the school system first day of class taking place on Aug. 26, a shuttle service will travel to the six traditional county high schools involved to pick up students. Lexington and Thomasville City schools will have to provide their own transportation.
Fitzgerald noted there will be 19 days on the fiscal year where Davidson County Schools will be closed and the career academy will be in session. He gave an example of a difference which would be Spring Break dates. He said the college personnel worked with the school this year. The school year will end on May 20.
Catherine Gentry, interim principal at Davidson Early College High School, presented next year's calendar that is very similar to the career academy due to students taking college classes as well. Their school year will begin on Aug. 7 and end on May 21 for students
• Heard a request from South Davidson High School Principal Mike Lawson to hold the 2013 graduation ceremony at Mount Zion Wesleyan Church in Thomasville. In a memo, Lawson stated that facility would create a more suitable and comfortable environment for the graduates and guests. He also noted that the graduation had been held at that venue in the past. The board approved the change in venue.

Tome Green and David Spade cruised around inside the bowling alley and outside in the parking lot-turned-carnival and were more than happy to pose for photos and sign autographs.
Blink-182 played a set to close out the night
Travis was on crutches and had his leg wrapped but still played the hell out of the drums.
There was a vert demo in the afternoon with Tony Hawk, Shaun White, Bob Burnquist, Andy MacDonald, Lincoln Ueda, and Matt Hoffman. Jason Ellis and Sal Masekela took care of the comedy. Ellis called White the Flying Tomato at one point.
Christian Hosoi was chilling with his wife and son.
Pam Anderson was cruising around all day and stopped to pose with one of Tony's sons. That kid doesn't know how lucky he is.
Benicio Del Toro, or BDT as his autograph states, hung out and rapped out with anyone who approached him. He had a doodled-on skateboard up for grabs in the silent auction.
The chocolate fountain was a popular booth to stop at. Strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows, and rice crispy squares were ready to be skewered and dipped. Chris Ortiz is claiming he's going to get one for his house.
Jeff Taylor sweating in the Valley heat giving out free Adio and Hawk Shoes. For $500 per person, they got their money's worth.
Ryan Sheckler handled the press and fan mobbings like a veteran. Teammate Rodney Mullen was a little more camera shy.
Special shout out to Miki Vuckovich for inviting us!

A trailer filled with 350 Christmas trees that was stolen from a western New York farm has been recovered.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office tells local media that a passer-by spotted the pickup truck and trailer Wednesday afternoon at St. Leo's Church in Hamlin, on the Lake Ontario shore 18 miles west of Rochester.
The truck and trailer had been stolen earlier that morning from a farm in Hamlin. The farmer called police after he discovered the pickup truck he'd backed into a driveway was gone and so was the 28-foot trailer behind it.
Inside the trailer were 350 Douglas fir trees worth about $12,000. It's not immediately known if all the trees have been recovered.
No suspects are in custody. Police say their investigation is continuing.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "The Star-Spangled Banner" has always been a powerful anthem that stirs emotions and can reduce even the toughest to tears.
One of the best examples of this is before the Super Bowl, when tens of thousands of people rise to their feet and join in the singing of the U.S. national anthem.
For some players, it can be an overwhelming moment as they try to stop tears from welling up in their eyes and their lips from quivering in front of a worldwide television audience.
But on Sunday, when the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks clash in the National Football League's championship game, the cameras are sure to focus in on one player when American soprano Renee Fleming starts hitting the high notes.
Denver running back Knowshon Moreno may be one of the most rugged players in the NFL but he's also a self-confessed cry baby and if he starts sobbing on Sunday his tears could get more attention than any snowflakes.
Footage of Moreno bawling before a recent game became an internet hit in the United States because of the heavy flow of tears that stream down his cheeks.
"I'm always an emotional guy," Moreno told reporters on Monday. "I play with my emotions on my sleeve and just go out and try to play as hard as I can.
"I don't know how many games I've played in, but it's never any different ... It is what it is. I would never change."
When the footage of his giant crocodile tears was broadcast on television, Moreno was ribbed by some his teammates.
But the 26-year-old admitted he will struggle to bottle up his emotions on the biggest day in American professional sports.
"It will be through the roof. Listening to other guys who have been in this position before playing in the Super Bowl, it's a lot going on," he said.
"They say you have to hold your emotions down, you're going to be fired up, but there is so much going on that sometimes you've got to calm down.
"I think that will be my toughest battle, just being able to stay composed until the fires start burning down."
Adding to the emotion for Moreno on Sunday is that the game will be played in New Jersey, close to where he grew up.
He still holds the New Jersey high school state record for scoring and continued his form in College and was selected by the Broncos as the 12th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
After a solid start, he lost his starting position in 2011, then again the following season, but has regained his spot and is playing better than ever this season.
"The thing with Knowshon, the thing he's really improved, is his accountability and dependability," said Denver head coach John Fox.
"He's done a tremendous job, and he is maybe one of our most improved players this past season. I hope he continues that on Sunday."

Welcome Back
New Menu System is here
You see those tabs at the top, Art, Bookbinding etc, well in the past when you click on them you have to jump across several pages to get to the information you want to see. Thanks to some clever design work, by the wonderful people behind WordPress, I have been able to alter them, now if you hover your mouse over the tabs you'll get a drop down menu. Cool Huh! Now you can skip straight to the info you want much easier than before. From the drop downs, if there is more than one option for information, when you put your mouse on a button, the extra pages will show to the right!
Side Bars
You will also see that the listings in the side bars have altered a bit. Don't worry the links that were there, haven't left the blog altogether, they have just moved into the dedicated subject sections within the pages. So you will find the bookbinding ones in the Bookbinding tab, that kinda thing. So if things look a bit different for a while, as I try stuff out, don't fret the information will still be here, just working on how to make it easier for you to find the things of interest to you easily. I've put some new things in the side bar to make it easier to find the information as well. Now you can search by craft subject from the tabs at the top. Or by categories from the side bars. The new sections at the side include: Blogs, Forums, Supplies, Tutorials, Reviews. No more time consuming searching through older posts to try and find your favorite post!
Not planning on changing the colour scheme and header, that works fine as it is. Although the more decorative backgrounds are pretty, being dyslexic I am sensitive to those of us with visual issues and would rather keep the design clean and easily accessible to most people.
Coming Soon
Hoping to get a few more articles about textiles on here, as its my latest 'thing' and I'm all excited about it. There will still be lots of paper crafting as that is what I enjoy most and I really must try to find some time to make more books.
Keeping regular reviews of products and books etc, as many tutorials as I can manage and pictures of finished projects too.
So what do You think?
I do hope you can find you way around ok. Do let me know if you like it, or are struggling. It's your feedback that will help me figure out what's working and what's not.
For those of you, like me, who hate change 😉 Don't worry, this all took soo long to do, that I won't be changing anything layout wise for a goooood long time!!!! Unless something isn't working that is. New links will be added to the pages as I discover more exciting things to share. Putting links on these other pages, allows me to share even more links than it would have been practicle to put in the side bars.
If you have any ideas of things you would like to see more of, do leave me a comment, and let me know what you think of the changes I made 🙂
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

A successful Delaware Agriculture Week, held from January 13-17, attracted record attendance at the Delaware State Fairgrounds, home to the event for the past nine years.
An estimated 1900 visitors, up from 1700 last year, drove to Harrington to attend their choice of 97 sessions offered on a variety of topics crucial to Delaware agriculture. Topics included poultry, equine, nutrient management, fresh market fruits and vegetables, production crops, irrigation, forestry, horticulture, safety, ACA health insurance, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), weed and disease control in agronomic crops. Additional presentations covered equine, small ruminants and beef cattle.
'Ag Week' as it is known in the First State is planned in collaboration with the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, Delaware State University Cooperative Extension and the Delaware Department of Agriculture. In addition to invited experts from around the country, more than 30 sessions were taught by experts from the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and college staff served as session moderators.
Cory Whaley, Sussex County agriculture Extension agent and chair of the Delaware Ag Week Planning Committee, was pleased with the number of people who attended and the 81 vendor exhibits offered during the week.
"Ag Week is great event where the ag community can come together for continuing education, to catch up with friends, and talk with local vendors," said Whaley. "Much of the success of Ag Week can be attributed to the individual session chairs who identify topics that are relevant and timely and then match these topics with expert speakers from our area and from across the country." A complete listing of this year's program sponsors and exhibitors is available on the Delaware Ag Week website.
Michelle Rodgers, associate dean and director of UD Cooperative Extension, attended many of the sessions throughout Delaware Agriculture Week. Rodgers commended her Extension colleague's efforts and teamwork for developing an event that positively impacts the agricultural community. "Hat's off to the entire team for an excellent Ag Week." Rodgers said. "We have had record crowds as well as top-notch speakers from Delaware and across the country. Feedback has been very positive," Rodgers said, adding that attendees especially voiced appreciation on hearing the current research, the breadth of topics offered, and a venue to network with others in the agriculture sector.
Ed Kee, Delaware Secretary of Agriculture, thanked everyone who organized Delaware Ag Week. "We are really connecting. Good job to all the farmers and industry people who participated," Kee said.
During Delaware Ag Week attendees were able to earn nutrient management, pesticide and certified crop advisor continuing education credits.
It was the first Ag Week for Nathan Kleczewski, UD Extension plant pathology specialist, who was hired in May 2013. Along with Dan Egel and Shubin Saha, colleagues from Purdue, Kleczewski felt the collaborative nature of the sessions gave other experts the opportunity to share their research and expertise. "It gives growers an outside perspective and builds collaborations," said Kleczewski.
Kleczewski was pleased to see 250 people attend the high tunnel and agronomy sessions and received positive feedback. "It was a great way to introduce myself to many people and now that they have a face to put to the name, I expect to receive more calls during the course of the growing season," Kleczewski said.
A new exhibition for 2014 was the Hazards of Flowing Grain demonstration. Mike Love, agriculture safety Extension agent, coordinated the presentations, equipment and resources. Twice a day, Love conducted a workshop on the dangers of grain entrapment and rescue best practices via a mobile unit developed to scale by Penn State.
"An individual entering a grain silo can be entrapped in seconds," Love said. Attempts to move can bury the victim deeper in the grain. Love illustrated the physics behind grain movement within silo storage, explaining how a 165-pound individual effectively becomes 300 pounds when the grain reaches waist level. Love emphasized that knowing how to safely respond is critical. The exhibit was enthusiastically received and plans to feature it during the Delaware State Fair in July are being discussed.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings during Ag Week, Love conducted Grain Rescue workshops at the Quillen Arena where first responders utilized best practices for the unique rescue challenge inside a full sized silo mock-up on loan from Perdue Agribusiness Grain Emergency Response Team. More than 100 first responders from Delaware attended and worked in teams as they entrapped a volunteer and practiced the rescue techniques and equipment. "The grain rescue workshops were offered to first responders and farmers so they may learn the characteristics of flowing grain, the causes and best practices for rescue," Love said.
Philip Russell, 1st Assistant Chief of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department attended the training Thursday night and found the experience extremely valuable. "This was an eye opener for us. We need to make sure we have the right equipment to make the proper rescue." Russell said.
Robbie Roe, Russell's colleague, volunteered as a victim and agreed the training was necessary. "It would be the worst way to die known to man," Roe exclaimed. "I couldn't breathe." Fortunately, their fire department has not been called out to a grain entrapment, but Roe was grateful for the opportunity to become better prepared. "We have silos in our district we never had before. This [training] is what we need to do."
Held in January every year, the 2014 event was an opportunity for Rodgers and her Extension colleagues to mark Cooperative Extension's 100th year of providing research-based information to the public.

What's next for airline apps?
By David Michaels, Special to CNN • Updated 7th October 2011
Airline passengers are already able to check in to flights, download boarding passes, select a seat on the go and keep an eye on the upgrades list thanks to recent evolutions in smartphone technology, and the options just keep growing.
A global industrywide Airline IT Trends Survey shows that more than 90% of the airlines surveyed are increasing their investment in mobile capabilities to ease the hassles of getting through the airport and improve the in-flight experience. And the airlines are likely to find a way to generate revenue, too.
So what's a flier to expect from airline apps on the horizon? In the not-too-distant future, you'll probably be able to rent a car, pay bag fees and use augmented reality to find the nearest airport bar through your airline's smartphone app.
Delta Air Lines is putting emphasis on improving mobile functionality. While some airline apps allow travelers to make flight reservations (a feature that Delta has not introduced but promises is coming), the world's largest carrier is one of the few airlines that gives customers the ability to adjust travel itineraries from their mobile device.
Delayed Delta passengers who miss a connection now can immediately rebook a different flight and download a new boarding pass, all while in the air.
The airline has some new app plans up its sleeve as well. Delta declines to give a release date for the feature, but it is close to unveiling a new tool where travelers can track checked baggage from their mobile devices, according to Delta spokesman
Paul Skrbec. (They can already do so on the airline's website.)
The airline eventually could offer other services on its mobile app that are already listed on its website, such as the ability to search for hotel and car rental reservations, Skrbec said.
GuestLogix, a company that creates onboard merchandising technology, is already trying to integrate these services into an airline app with the launch of its OnTouch Mobile Concierge platform, which it pitched to major airlines this week, a company official said.
The mobile app does not just offer access to itinerary details, but it also functions as a one-stop shop for airline passengers to make in-air purchases related to their trip, such as in-flight refreshments and arrangements for ground transportation, dining and entertainment in the destination city.
GuestLogix says it is in talks with most major North American carriers about implementing the OnTouch Mobile Concierge, which would likely be offered by airlines as a separate app from the ticketing-based ones that exist.
"We are providing airlines with the opportunity to offer their passengers a streamlined experience," said Brett Proud, GuestLogix's executive vice president of new markets and products. "Disparity within the mobile channel is a huge issue despite the fact that consumers are increasingly expecting cross-platform integration and a consistent experience. The fully integrated mobile platform that we have built allows travelers to check in to flights and hotels, view travel information and updates, and receive offers from multiple airline carriers, hotels and other services -- all at one time, and in one place."
The hope is the OnTouch Mobile Concierge will also allow airlines to generate new revenue streams by capitalizing for the first time on destination-related purchases.
But integrating outside products and services into airline apps is not the only way that airlines hope to customize the passenger experience while increasing revenue. According to Delta's Skrbec, the demand is likely there for airlines eventually to offer add-ons such as standby upgrades and the ability to pay for extra checked baggage through mobile applications, but industry research suggests that offering those types of mobile transactions won't happen overnight.
According to a report released this year by Amadeus, a company that develops technology for the travel industry, ancillary services -- from premium seating to in-flight meals -- are unlikely to be sold on airlines' mobile platforms on a widespread level for another year or two.
So more add-ons and products will be available, but is help on the way for slogging through the airport?
American, United and Continental airlines currently offer airport maps in their mobile apps, with Delta soon to join them. But the maps are generally useful only in locating gates; they don't offer detailed information on where to find food and shopping locations.
Augmented reality technology may come to the rescue here. It allows users to point the camera on their smartphone at their surroundings and receive corresponding information about their current location, such as which restaurants and stores are nearby. Amadeus's report estimates it will take three to five years for most airlines to find a way to integrate augmented reality into an airline app.
Airlines might take some cues from a new app released by Denmark's Copenhagen Airport this year, which became the world's first application to use augmented reality indoors successfully -- according to SITA, the app's developer. The app allows travelers at the airport to access not just gate information but also details on surrounding shops and services, saving them time while trying to catch a flight.
Even when it comes to selling fares through mobile clients, a service that 85% of airlines in the Airline IT Trends Survey either offer or plan to offer by 2014, there is room for improvement. Currently, airline apps only offer tickets with their specific carrier, and mobile customers can't take advantage of the flexibility offered by airline alliances.
"Airline alliances, the Star Alliance in particular, haven't really kept pace with mobile developments," said Dennis Schaal, the North America editor of the travel tech site
. "Granted, creating a mobile app that brings in dozens of airlines would be no easy task, but there should be some kind of booking capability at this juncture."
The Star Alliance has two mobile apps available for download: one that offers airport information in addition to the ability to search and track flights, and another that is a fare finder for flights on the alliance's airlines. The Star Alliance includes airlines such as United, Continental, Air Canada and US Airways -- which does not currently offer a mobile app.
But those airlines that fail to take the full leap into the mobile world will quickly find themselves in the minority. Apps might not replace websites as the primary place where people purchase airline reservations, especially with new airline initiatives to integrate ticket-purchasing apps into social-media sites such as Facebook.
However, they're beginning to offer a level of customer service and convenience that has never before been possible in the industry, and perhaps could even transform the experience of traveling enough to create a new barometer on which airline brands will be judged in the future.

Factions and Forces

Revision as of 18:17, 31 January 2014
Many factions and civilizations exist in the BrikVerse. Here, they are organized by relative size and function. There is often overlap...some corporations are larger than entire nations, for example...so where a faction does not fit by size, it is placed by closest concept. Factions in BrikWars can generally be described in one or more of three different ways. Toybox Factions are factions that are significantly represented by real, physical toys. StoryBrik Factions are factions that have accumulated Kanon through BrikFiction, Battle Reports, Forum Battles, and the like. StoryBook Factions, or BrikFic Factions, are factions that are significantly represented by abstract art, such as BrikFiction, digital construction programs and artwork, or physical artwork. Certain construction programs, like LDD, straddle the line between the last two descriptions because some players believe it is firmly a work of fiction and others believe it is a completely viable construction tool. It will become apparent how factions may be described as one browses the Factions and Forces articles.
Dominions and Empires
Dominions and Empires represent the largest factions. Their governing bodies rule over everything from nations to continents, from a single planet to several in a system, or from a region of space to a galaxy or more. They represent the biggest ideas or capabilities BrikWarriors have, either in concept or in literal bricks.
Republic of Independent Nations
Civilizations are very large groups, often singularly governed, which are smaller than empires or have less power or influence. These may be cities, states, territories, very small nations, or particularly large cultures. These represent middle sized BrikWarrior armies and ideas and are often more focused on massed forces than individual characters.
Setvia, the Red Robot Socialist Republik
Organizations are the smallest of BrikWars factions. They range from parties to squads, from packs and gangs to bands and companies, or from small businesses to multi-national corporations.

President White, Men's College Presidents on Panel
by Jim Amidon
March 24, 2010
Wabash College President Patrick E. White will team with presidents from three other colleges for men for a panel discussion at the 2010 American Men's Studies Association annual conference.
President White will travel to Atlanta, where the conference will be hosted by Georgia State University and Morehouse College. He was invited to serve on Friday's panel by Dr. Robert M. Franklin, who is the president of Morehouse. The panel talk the presidents will present is entitled "What Men's Colleges Have Learned about Recruitment, Retention, and Masculinity."
AMSA conference
is designed to allow scholars of men's studies to present their research and scholarship, much of it related to pedagogical approaches to teaching men.
"I'm excited about this opportunity to get to know the presidents better and to present men's colleges as practiced thinkers about all aspects of the education of young men," said President White.
Friday's keynote luncheon panel will feature the presidents of the four remaining all-men's colleges in the United States — President White, Dr. Franklin of Morehouse College, Father Robert Koopmann of Saint John's University, and Dr. Christopher Howard of Hampden-Sydney College.
"We're going to have these four very different schools come together on this one, common point of educating young men," said President White. "Educating men is all we do, and we have a long history of making a huge difference in the lives of the young men who graduate from our colleges, which is evidenced by data from the National Survey of Student Engagement and, in our own case, the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education."
President White says young men are often portrayed in pop culture as feckless and wandering, unmotivated to achieve at a high level. He believes that colleges and universities of all types have much to learn from colleges like Wabash.
"You read and hear a lot about what's gone wrong with the education of young men," President White said. "And sadly, not very often are professors or administrators from colleges for men brought into the conversation about solving these problems. "
"I believe the nation needs to see men's colleges as a resource because this is a national problem. It's not just men's colleges concerned about engaging and educating men to achieve; all colleges are struggling to retain and graduate men."
In his experience at Wabash — and 18 years at Saint Mary's, a women's college — President White believes that students at single sex institutions become sure of themselves and sure of what they want to do with their lives because they are taken seriously, challenged to develop the whole person, and enveloped in a community where their highest ambitions are acknowledged and supported.
"Because we're only talking to men, we become more attuned to listening to them; we're understanding those affective aspects of men learning," said President White. "There is a crucial moment in a young man's life when he is just out of high school and is trying to redefine himself. At Wabash, I say to our students, 'Gentlemen, you don't know how good you are,' and we work specifically to help them achieve greatness, becoming in effect heroes in their own lives. We do this when much of the culture is sending messages that defeat, passivity, and failure will be their lot."
President White also sees this gathering as an important first step in building partnerships among the nation's four remaining men's colleges. "My prior experience with the Women's College Coalition taught me that these are schools that could discover that, though we have distinct identities and missions, we share much in common in our commitment to the complete development of young men.
"In Atlanta, we'll have this wonderful opportunity to position ourselves as experts in the education of men," he continued. "We should be part of the national discourse on men's education, whether that's at all-male or coed colleges and universities. We have something to teach others in the public at large and in the intellectual world about effective ways to educate and engage men."
American Men's Studies Association (AMSA)
advances the critical study of men and masculinities by encouraging the development of teaching, research and clinical practice in the field of men's studies. AMSA is an independent organization that provides a forum for teachers, researchers, students, and practitioners to exchange information and to gain support for work on men and masculinities.

Letters From Point Pleasant
Extracted From
Calendar of Virginia State Papers
Volume 10 167-69
Extracted From
October 3, 1812.
Point Pleasant
I have the honor to inform your Excellency that I arrived at this place on the 26th ult., at 3 o'clock P. M., finding only a. Lieutenant and eighteen men, part of the quota from the county of Mason. A few days after which the troops began to come in briskly, and detachments arrive almost daily. The whole of the field officers are now present except Major McGuire, and from the morning reports of this day, including a few that are absent on furlough, there are in Camp 825 men, officers inclusive. There have been no arrivals of troops from the Counties of Hampshire, Hardy, Monongalia and Randolph. But it is understood that they are in motion, and are expected in five or six days.
Those present are generally fine looking men, in high spirits and healthy, and as far as I have yet observed, discover a disposition to pay due respect to the commands of their officers. Among the Rifle companies there is a. considerable deficiency of Rifles. Those unarmed appeared on their arrival to be much opposed to the idea of receiving muskets, but the necessity of complying with the requisitions of your Excellency being explained, the opposition appears mostly to have subsided.
Information has been just received that the military stores and camp equipage are afloat on the Kanawha and will probably be here to-morrow, a circumstance that will be truly pleasing to me and gratifying to the troops who have heretofore encamped in Companies and detachments under the direction of their officers, as best suited their convenience and accommodation. From the best information I have received respecting the route we expect to march as hinted in your Excellency's special orders of the 4th ult., it is considered almost impracticable to march an army with expedition without a, travelling forge, for the procuring of which I have made arrangements, but am not yet certain that my purpose will be effected. The difficulty of procuring cartridges appears to be insurmountable in consequence of the scarcity of powder. Flints are stated to be in great demand towards the place of destination.
Your Excellency will please to receive these hints relative to inconveniences as arising from a consciousness of my duty to make the representation. And be assured, Sir, that every exertion shall be made in my power to cause the troops I have the honor to command to be serviceable to our country, and an honour to the State from which they are about to be detached. I anticipate the pleasure of having the troops shortly arranged and equipped ready to execute the orders of your Excellency or the Secretary of War.
I am, &c.
October 12, 1812.
Point Pleasant
I have at length the satisfaction to inform your Excellency by Express, that the troops which I have the honor to command have collected at the general rendezvous, except some small detachments which are yet expected from the 14th and 106th Regiments which have not produced but little more than half their quotas.
A partial organization has been effected for the better regulation and disciplining of the troops subject to alterations when the whole are collected, the last company of which came in last evening. The organization shall now be effected immediately, and a correct return forwarded to your Excellency. From the Regimental morning reports of this day there are in camp and on furlough, thirteen hundred and eleven men, including Officers, and 319 Blankets are wanting. It seems impracticable to procure them, without which the troops must evidently suffer greatly, as they have to act in a very cold climate and at a. severe season of the year. It is confidently hoped that if possible the interposition of Government will remedy this inconvenience. We are also in want of ammunition, axes, spades and shovels, and such articles as are absolutely necessary, all of which might be readily procured if we had funds. The Paymaster stationed here refused to reimburse the Captain with the money they expended for provisions in conveying their companies to this place. They have been at considerable expense, and murmured on being refused the money they had expended for the public good. The Paymaster did not think himself authorized by his instructions to satisfy such claims, and it was with much difficulty I could silence their murmurings, by stating that some unintentional failure had produced this inconvenience, and the willingness of Government to discharge such claims.
I rece'd a letter from the Honorable Secretary at War directing me to march as soon as possible to the frontier of Ohio, and report myself to the commanding officer of the N. W. army. The same day I rece'd one from General Harrison, dated "Piqua, Sept'r 27th," in which I was informed that my destination is Wooster, in the County of Wayne, 45 miles west of Canton, and my route through New Lisbon and Canton. The Virginia detachment and that from Pennsylvania unite at Wooster and form the right wing of the army, to be commanded by the Senior Officer, and march to the rapids of Miami.
I am preparing with all possible speed to hasten on to Wooster, and expect to start in a very short time. All the troops not having arrived, I shall leave an officer at this place to conduct them after us when they arrive.
I found it indispensible to appoint a Brigade Staff pro tem., and have made some arrangements to get ammunition.
The military Stores arrived the 4th inst., without much injury. The Tents are distributed and a regular encampment formed. The Infantry are furnished with arms and accoutrements, and such of the riflemen as are without Rifles will have muskets placed in their hands to-morrow.
As we shall march up the Ohio, if your Excellency should have any communications to make relative to reimbursing the Capt's or furnishing pecuniary supplies to purchase indispensible requisites, an express could intercept us at Charleston on the Ohio. The troops appear brave and willing to encounter any inconvenience that can be surmounted, but. that of blankets is insurmountable.

Kevin Ogletree: Trying Hard Or Hardly Trying?
I don't know where this is coming from and how much of it just overblown, but I came across an article on ESPN.com that took a swipe at Kevin Ogletree's character.
Tim MacMahon believes that the Kevin Ogletree, who kept making plays a year ago in the Alamodome when he was fighting for a roster spot, no longer has that same sense of urgency in this training camp.
The Cowboys still like Ogletree's potential and believe he was a steal as an undrafted free agent. He showed his promise by making plays in a limited role as a rookie. Other than Dez Bryant, there might not be a more explosive receiver on the roster. He will be on the 53-man roster.
However, if Ogletree wants a significant role this season, he better flip the switch soon.
Ogletree has dropped too many balls this camp. He has failed to fight for the ball too many times. An example came on a crossing route during Thursday morning's practice, when he allowed undrafted rookie cornerback Bryan McCann to knock the ball out of his hands.
MacMahon also says that he has Cowboys sources that are saying Ogletree has a sense of entitlement. That may or may not be true, but sometimes confidence in one's abilities can be mistaken for a sense of urgency.
I don't mind seeing a little swagger on the team, and would especially love to see that among some of the veterans.
The article concludes by saying that Ogletree doesn't appear to have the right attitude. Really? One week into training camp and we're already making judgment calls?
Needless to say, I disagree with MacMahon on this one, and I'd advise him to let the rest of training camp play out before calling someone out.

Quintuple Chocolate Brownies
For our second week of Tuesdays With Dorie, it was my turn to choose the recipe that we would tackle. After poring over endless possibilities, my eyes kept going back to the Quintuple Chocolate Brownies. I was pretty sure, upon reading the recipe, that I might go into sugar shock when I took my first bite. Sugar headaches be damned, my mind was made up – these would be our next Dorie adventure!
The 5 types of chocolate found in these brownies: unsweetened cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.
Wow, when mixing together this batter I think I got a hand cramp. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but this was by far the thickest batter I have ever made for brownies. Any wavering I may have had on the notion that they might not be as rich as their name indicates went right out the window! Once in the oven, these gave off the most decadent, rich, chocolate aroma. I felt like I was in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! These brownies were easy to throw together (no KA needed!), and taste absolutely fabulous. Bonus – they look gorgeous as well! Small is good with these babies – just a nibble will satisfy even the most needy sweet tooth!
The only thing that I think I would do differently here is instead of a white chocolate glaze I would make more of a solid layer of white chocolate on top, such that you would find on peppermint bark. To do this I would simply remove the heavy cream from the recipe and spread just melted white chocolate on top of the brownie. There is nothing wrong with the glaze as is – it's very good! – just a personal preference for a thicker layer :)
We have now formed a trio of Dorie experimenters, with April from Abby Sweets joining us as well! Head on over to her blog to see her take on Tuesdays with Dorie each week.
Stay tuned next week for… Hidden Berry Cream Cheese Torte

Quintuple Chocolate Brownies
(Source: Dorie Greenspan "Baking: From My Home to Yours" pp. 99-100)
For the Brownies:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 Tablespoons strong coffee
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
6 ounces premium-quality milk chocolate, chopped into chips, or 1 cup store-bought milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (omitted due to allergies)
For the Glaze:
6 ounces premium-quality white chocolate, finely chopped, or 1 cup store-bought white chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream
Getting Ready:
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, butter the foil and place the pan on a baking sheet.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, and salt.
To Make the Brownies:
Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and add, in the following order, the butter, the two chocolates and the coffee. Keeping the pan over low heat, warm just until the butter and chocolates are melted – you don't want the ingredients to get so hot they separate, so keep an eye on the bowl. Stir gently, and when the mixture is smooth, set it aside for 5 minutes.
Using a whisk or a rubber spatula, beat the sugar into the chocolate mixture. Don't beat too vigorously – you don't want to add air to the batter – and don't be concerned about any graininess. Next, stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. You should have a smooth, glossy batter. If you're not already using a rubber spatula, switch to one now and gently stir in the dry ingredients, mixing only until they are incorporated. Finally, stir in the milk chocolate chips and the nuts. Scrape the batter into the pan.
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out streaked but not thickly coated. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let the brownies rest undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. (You can wait longer, if you'd like.)
Turn the brownies out onto a rack, peel away the foil and place it under another rack – it will be the drip catcher for the glaze. Invert the brownies onto the rack and let cool completely.
To Make the Glaze:
Put the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a boil and pour it over the chocolate. Wait 30 seconds, then, using a rubber spatula, gently stir until the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth.
Hold a long metal icing spatula in one hand and the bowl of glaze in the other. Pour the glaze onto the center of the brownies and use the spatula to nudge it evenly over the surface. Don't worry if it dribbles over the edges, you can trim the sides later (or not). Refrigerate the brownies for about 20 minutes to dry the glaze.
Cut into 16 squares, each roughly 2-1/4 inches on a side.

Thanks so much for doing exactly that. In all the trips I've made to Paris I spent almost every day shopping and shopping for design ideas. You're now showing me the Paris I never got to see and it's way beyond charming.ReplyDelete
This museum is wonderful.
Carol, all that pink in the final picture of today's blog is echoed in the beautiful flowering tree outside my window on this chilly Spring morning.ReplyDelete
How's "re-entry" coming?
Welcome home!

Such expressive faces on these dolls..not carbon copies of perfect beauties, but real and flawed and full of emotion.ReplyDelete
Thank you
Charming post. I am facinated by the dogs in all the vignettes. I love how they view them as important to family. You do find some interesting off the beaten path places to visit.ReplyDelete
I love this museum! Thanks for these pictures! You really should write a guide about Paris and its secrets ! ( like Les Pintades à New York)ReplyDelete
There are so many excellent guides to Paris out there Anne!ReplyDelete
I love the Parigramme series for example.
On the other hand you could do very nicely on New York!

The dolls and their outfits are wonderful! I had an aunt who owned a travel agency when I was a kid,and she used to bring a doll back from every place she ever traveled to for me and my sisters. We weren't allowed to play with these dolls--they were kept in a locked display case in one of our bedrooms. They really were beautiful! We had over 350. When I grew up and my folks finally moved from that house, they brought me a big garbage bag filled with individually wrapped dolls, and I took the whole bag and stuck it in a closet 'til I could get to it. I completely forgot about it, and months later, found that bag, and thought "why am I keeping garbage in here?!" I inadvertently threw out all those dolls, and it only hit me a week later what I had done. I could have cried. Not that I know what I'd do with all those dolls, anyway, but they were beautiful...Your dolls brought it all back to me, Carol.ReplyDelete

Here ya go.ReplyDelete
my mother was a doll collector--that's why I know. I'm about 95%
certain that the "Barbie" dolls in today's post are FFDs.
Oh, this may be the answer to my prayers. I am looking for someone in Paris who makes customized doll clothes. I want to get a Paris frock for La Belette Rouge when I am in Paris this summer. Any ideas, Carol?ReplyDelete
I'm sorry Carol but I'm scared of those dolls. I know, I know... antiques, priceless... they scare me!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the dolls...your post are always deliciously amazing, but these pictures are very very nice indeed...Dee DeeReplyDelete
what a fabulous trip you must have had! It's been years since i have been to Paris!ReplyDelete
You must have been itching to take home every single piece in that museum to add to your miniature collection! LOL!ReplyDelete

Love your blog. And this museum is one of my absolute favorite places in world. Your pictures are beautiful. Thank you, Nancy MarieReplyDelete
