NISKAYUNA, NEW YORK. July 1837. Shaker Worship Service.
I went out to see the Shakers at Niskayuna. So much has already been said about their tenets that I shall not repeat them, further than to observe that all their goods are in common, and that although the sexes mix together, they profess the vows of celibacy and chastity. Their lands are in excellent order, and they are said to be very rich.
We were admitted into a long room on the ground-door, where the Shakers were seated on forms, the men opposite to the women, and apart from each other. The men were in their waistcoats and shirt-sleeves, twiddling their thumbs, and looking awfully puritanical. The women were attired in dresses of very light striped cotton, which hung about them like full dressing-gowns, and concealed all shape and proportions. A plain mob cap on their heads, and a thick muslin handkerchief in many folds over their shoulders, completed their attire. They each held in their hands a pockethandkerchief as large as a towel, and of almost the same substance. But the appearance of the women was melancholy and unnatural; I say unnatural because it required to be accounted for. They had all the advantages of exercise and labour in the open air, good food, and good clothing; they were not overworked, for they are not required to work more than they please; and yet there was something so pallid, so unearthly in their complexions, that it gave you the idea that they had been taken up from their coffins a few hours alter their decease: not a hue of health, not a vestige of colour in any check or lip; one cadaverous yellow tinge prevailed. And yet there were to be seen many faces very beautiful, as far as regarded outline, but they were the features of the beautiful in death. The men, on the contrary, were ruddy, strong, and vigorous. Why, then, this difference between the sexes, where they each performed the same duties, where none were taxed beyond their strength, and all were well fed and clothed?
After a silence of ten minutes, one of the men of the community, evidently a coarse illiterate person, rose and addressed a few words to the spectators, requesting them not to laugh at what they saw, but to behave themselves properly, &c. and then he sat down.
One of the leaders then burst out into a hymn, to a jigging sort of tune, and all the others joined chorus. After the hymn was sung they all rose, put away the forms on which they had been seated, and stood in lines, eight in a row, men and women separate, facing each other, and about ten feet apart; the ranks of men being flanked by the boys, and those of the women by the girls. They commenced their dancing by advancing in rows, just about as far as profane people do in when they dance quadrilles, and then retreated the same distance, all keeping regular time, and turning back to back after every third advance. The movement was rather quick, and they danced to their own singing of the following beautiful composition:
Law, law, de lawdel law,
Law, law, de law,
Law, law, de lawdel law,
Lawdel, lawdel, law--
keeping time also with the hands as well as feet, the former raised up to the chest, and hanging down like the forepaws of a dancing bear. After a quarter of an hour they sat down again, and the women made use of their large towel pocket-handkerchiefs to wipe off the perspiration. Another hymn was sung, and then the same person addressed the spectators, requesting them not to laugh, and inquiring if any of them felt a wish to be saved, adding "Not one of you, I don't think." He looked round at all of us with the most ineffable contempt, and then sat down; and they sang another hymn, the burden of which was--
"Our souls are saved, and we are free
From vice and all in-i-qui-ty."
which was a very comfortable delusion, at all events.
They then rose again, put away the forms as before, and danced in another fashion. Instead of LŐete, it was Grande ronde. About ten men and women stood in two lines in the centre of the room, as a vocal band of music, while all the others, two and two, women first and men following, promenaded round, with a short quick step, to the tune chaunted in the centre. As they went round and round, shaking their paws up and down before them, the scene was very absurd, and I could have laughed had I not felt disgusted at such a degradation of rational and immortal beings. This dance lasted a long while, until the music turned to croaking, and the perspiration was abundant; they stopped at last, and then announced that their exercise was finished. I waited a little while after the main body had dispersed, to speak with one of the elders. "I will be with you directly," replied he, walking hastily away; but he never came back.
I never heard the principle upon which they dance. David danced before the ark; but it is to be presumed that David danced as well as he sung. At least he thought so; for when his wife Michal laughed at him, he made her conduct a ground of divorce.
Every community which works in common, and is provided for in the mass, must become rich, especially when it has no children to maintain. It is like receiving a person's labour in exchange for victuals and clothing only, and this is all I can perceive that can be said in favour of these people. Suffice it to say, I have a very bad opinion of them: and were I disposed to dilate on the subject, I should feel no inclination to treat them with the lenity shewn to them by other travellers.
ALBANY, NEW YORK. July 1837. Examination of Pupils at the Female Academy.
I set off for Albany, where I had an engagement, having been invited to attend at the examination of the young ladies at the seminary. Here again is a rivalry between Albany and Troy, each of them glorying in possessing the largest seminary for the education of young ladies, who are sent from every State of the Union, to be finished off at one or the other of them. Here, and indeed in many other establishments, the young ladies upon quitting it have diplomas given to them, if they pass their examinations satisfactorily. They are educated upon a system which would satisfy even Miss Martineau, and prepared to exercise the rights of which she complains that women have been so unjustly deprived. Conceive three hundred modern Portias, who regularly take their degrees and emerge from the portico of the seminary full of algebra, equality, and the theory ofthe constitution! The quantity and variety crammed into them is beyond all calculation. The examination takes place yearly, to prove to the parents that the preceptors have done their duty, and is in itself very innocent, as it only causes the young ladies to blush a little.
This afternoon they were examined in algebra, and their performance was very creditable. Under a certain age girls are certainly much quicker than boys, and I presume would retain what they learnt if it were not for their subsequent duties in making puddings, and nursing babies. Yet there are affairs which must be performed by one sex or the other, and of what use can algebra and other abstruse matters be to a woman in her present state of domestic thraldom.
The theory of the American constitution was the next subject on which they were examined; by their replies, this appeared to be to them more abstruse than algebra: but the fact is, women are born tories, and admit no other than petticoat government as legitimate.
The next day we again repaired to the hall, and French was the language in which they were to be examined, and the examination afforded us much amusement.
The young ladies sat down in rows on one side of the room. In the centre, towards the end, was an easel, on which was placed a large black board on which they worked with chalk the questions in algebra, &c., a towel hanging to it, that they might wipe out and correct. The French preceptor, an old Emigre count, sat down with the examiners before the board, the visitors (chiefly composed of anxious papas and mommas) being seated on benches behind them. As it happened, I had taken my seat close to the examining board, and at some little distance from the other persons who were deputed or invited to attend. I don't know how I came there. I believe I had come in too late; but there I was, within three feet of every young lady who came up to the board.
"Now, messieurs, have the kindness to ask any question you please," said the old Count. "Mademoiselle, you will have the goodness to step forward." A question was proposed in English, which the young lady had to write down in French. The very first went wrong: I perceived it, and without looking at her, pronounced the right word, so that she could hear it. She caught it, rubbed out the wrong word with the towel, and rectified it. This was carried on through the whole sentence, and then she retreated from the board that her work might be examined. "Very well, very well, indeed, Miss, c'est parfaitement bien;" and the young lady sat down blushing. Thus were they all called up, and one alter another prompted by me; and the old Count was delighted at the success of his pupils.
Now, what amused me in this was the little bit of human nature; the tact displayed by the sex, which appears to be innate, and which never deserts them. Had I prompted a boy, he would most likely have turned his head round towards me, and thus would have revealed what I was about; but not one of the whole class was guilty of such indiscretion. They heard me, rubbed out, corrected, waited for the word when they did not know it, but never by any look or sign made it appear that there was any understanding between us. Their eyes were constantly fixed on the board, and they appeared not to know that I was in the room. It was really beautiful. When the examination was over, I received a look from them all, half comic, half serious, which amply repaid me for my assistance.
As young ladies are assembled here from every State of the Union, it was a fair criterion of American beauty, and it must be acknowledged that the American women are the prettiest in the whole world.
SAULT STE. MARIE. August 1837. Commendable Qualities in Indian Women.
There are two companies of soldiers quartered here. The rapids from which the village takes its name are just above it; they are not strong or dangerous, and the canoes descend them twenty times a day. At the foot of the rapids the men are constantly employed in taking the white fish in scoop nets, as they attempt to force their way up into Lake Superior. The majority of the inhabitants here are half-breeds. It is remarkable that the females generally improve, and the males degenerate, from the admixture of blood. Indian wives are here preferred to white, and perhaps with reason; they make the best wives for poor men; they labour hard, never complain, and a day of severe toil is amply recompensed by a smile from their lord and master in the evening. They are always faithful and devoted, and very sparing of their talk, all of which qualities are considered as recommendations in this part of the world.
It is remarkable, that although the Americans treat the negro with contumely, they have a respect for the red Indian: a well- educated half-bred Indian is not debarred from entering into society; indeed, they are generally received with great attention. The daughter of a celebrated Indian chief brings heraldry into the family, for the Indians are as proud of their descent ( and with good reason ) as we, in Europe, are of ours. The Randolph family in Virginia still boast of their descent from Pocahontas, the heroine of one of the most remarkable romances in real life which was ever heard of.
NIAGARA FALLS. August 1837. Outdoor Amusements in America.
The game of nine-pins is a favourite game in America, and very superior to what it is in England. In America.; the ground is always covered properly over, and the balls are rolled upon a wooden floor, as correctly levelled as a billiard table. The ladies join in the game, which here becomes an agreeable and not too fatiguing exercise. I was very fond of frequenting their alleys, not only for the exercise, but because among the various ways of estimating character, I had made up my mind that there was none more likely to be correct, than the estimate formed by the manner in which people roll the balls, especially the ladies. There were some very delightful specimens of American females when I was this time at Niagara. We sauntered about the falls and wood in the day time, or else played at nine-pins; in the evening we looked at the moon, | | spouted verses, and drank mint juleps. But all that was too pleasant to last long: I felt that I had not come to America to play at nine-pins; so I tore myself away, and within the next twenty-four hours found myself at Toronto, in Upper Canada.
BELLOWS FALLS, VERMONT. September, 1837. Bartering among Women; Stagecoach Travel.
My fellow-passengers--both young, both good-looking, and both ladies, and evidently were total strangers to each other. One had a pretty pink silk bonnet, very fine for travelling; the other, an indifferent plush one. The young lady in the plush, eyed the pink bonnet for some time: at last Plush observed in a drawling half-indifferent way:
"That's rather a pretty bonnet of your's, miss."
"Why, yes, I calculate it's rather smart," replied Pink.
After a pause and closer survey. - "You wouldn't have any objection to part with it, miss?"
"Well now, I don't know but I might; I have worn it but three days, I reckon."
"Oh, my! I should have reckoned that you carried it longer-- perhaps it rained on them three days."
"I've a notion it didn't rain, not one. It's not the only bonnet I have, miss."
"Well now, I should not mind an exchange, and paying you the balance."
"That's an awful thing that you have on, miss."
"I rather think not, but that's as may be. Come, miss, what will you take?"
"Why I don't know, what will you give?"
"I reckon you'll know best when you answer my question.'
"Well then, I shouldn't like less than five dollars."
"Five dollars and my bonnet! I reckon two would be nearer the mark; but it's of no consequence."
"None in the least, miss, only I know the value of my bonnet. We'll say no more about it."
"Just so, miss."
A pause and silence for half a minute, when Miss Plush, looks out of the window, and says, as if talking to herself, "I shouldn't mind giving four dollars, but no more." She then fell back in her seat, when Miss Pink, put her head out of the window, and said: "I shouldn't refuse four dollars after all, if it was offered," and then she fell back to her former position.
"Did you think of taking four dollars, miss?"
"Well! I don't care, I've plenty of bonnets at home."
"Well," replied Plush, taking out her purse, and offering her the money.
"What bank is this, miss?"
"Oh, all's right there, Safety Fund, I calculate."
The two ladies exchange bonnets, and Pink pockets the balance.
FORT SNELLING. June 1838. Morality and Chastity among the Indians.
In many customs the Sioux are closely allied to the Jewish nation; indeed, a work has been published in America to prove that the Indians were originally Jews. There is always a separate lodge for the woman to retire to before and after childbirth, observing a similar purification to that prescribed by Moses. Although there ever will be, in all societies, instances to the contrary, chastity is honoured among the Sioux. They hold what they term Virgin Feasts, and when these are held, should any young woman accept the invitation who has by her misconduct rendered herself unqualified for it, it is the duty of any man who is aware of her unfitness, to go into the circle and lead her out. A circumstance of this kind occurred the other day, when the daughter of a celebrated chief gave a Virgin Feast: a young man of the tribe walked into the circle and led her out; upon which the chief led his daughter to the lodge of the young Sioux, and told him that he gave her to him for his wife, but the young man refused to take her, as being unworthy. But what is more singular (and I have it from authority which is unquestionable), they also hold Virgin Feasts for the young men; and should any young man take his seat there who is unqualified, the woman who is aware of it must lead him out, although in so doing, she convicts herself; nevertheless it is considered a sacred duty and is done.... The [Sioux] men are tall and straight, and very finely made, with the exception of their arms, which are too small. The arms of the squaws, who do all the labour, are much more muscular. One day as I was on the prairie, I witnessed the effect of custom upon these people. A Sioux was coming up without perceiving me; his squaw followed very heavily laden, and to assist her he had himself a large package on his shoulder. As soon as they perceived me, he dropped his burden, and it was taken up by the squaw and added to what she had already. If a woman wishes to upbraid another, the severest thing she can say is, "You let your husband carry burthens."
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, VIRGINIA. August 1838. Whittling Women; Naming Slaves.
I passed many pleasant days at this beautiful spot, and was almost as unwilling to leave it as I was to part with the Sioux Indians at St. Peters.' Refinement and simplicity are equally charming. I was introduced to a very beautiful girl here, whom I should have not mentioned so particularly, had it not been that she was the first and only lady in America that I observed to whittle. She was sitting one fine morning on a wooden bench, surrounded by admirers, and as she carved away her scat with her pen-knife, so did she cut deep into the hearts of those who listened to her lively conversation. There are, as may be supposed, a large number of negro servants here attending their masters and mistresses. I have often been amused, not only here, but during my residence in Kentucky, at the high-sounding Christian names which have been given to them. "Byron, tell Ada to come here directly." "Now, Telemachus, if you don't leave Calvpso alone, you'll get a taste of the cow-hide."
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. August 1838. Accuracy of Martineau's Account; Fear of Violence by Slaves Exaggerated.
Lexington is a very pretty town, with very pleasant society, and afforded me great relief after the unpleasant sojourn I had had at Louisville. Conversing one day with Mr. Clay, I had another instance given me of the mischief which the conduct of Miss Martineau has entailed upon all those English who may happen to visit America. Mr. Clay observed that Miss Martineau had remained with him for some time, and that during her stay, she had professed very different, or at least more modified opinions on the subject of slavery, than those she had expressed in her book: so much so, that one day, having read a letter from Boston cautioning her against being cajoled by the hospitality and pleasant society of the Western States, she handed it to him saying, "They want to make a regular abolitionist of me." "When her work came out," continued Mr. Clay, "although I read but very little of it, I turned to this subject so important with us, and I must say I was a little surprised to find that she had so changed her opinions." The fact is, Miss Martineau appears to have been what the Kentuckians call, "playing 'possum." I have met with some of the Southern ladies whose conversations on slavery are said, or supposed to have been those printed by Miss Martineau, and they deny that they are correct. That the Southern ladies are very apt to express great horror at living too long a time at the plantations, is very certain; not, however, because they expect to be murdered in their beds by the slaves, as they tell their husbands, but because they are anxious to spend more of their time at the cities, where they can enjoy more luxury and amusement than can be procured at the plantations.
Everybody rides in Virginia and Kentucky, master, man, woman, and slave, and they all ride well: it is quite as common to meet a woman on horseback as a man, and it is a pretty sight in their States to walk by the church doors and see them all arrive. The churches have stables, or rather sheds, built close to them, for the accommodation of the cattle.
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. September 1838. Health, Mortality, and Childbearing.
That this has been a very unhealthy season is certain, but still, from all the information I could obtain, there is a great mortality every year in the districts I have pointed out; and such indeed must be the case, from the miasma created every fall of the year in these rich alluvial soils, some portions of which have been worked for fifty years without the assistance of manure, and still yield abundant crops. It will be a long while before the drainage necessary to render them healthy can be accomplished. The sickly appearance of the inhabitants establishes but too well the facts related to me; and yet, strange to say, it would appear to be a provision of Providence, that a remarkable fecundity on the part of the women in the more healthy portions of their Western States, should meet the annual expenditure of life. Three children at a birth are more common here than twins are in England; and they, generally speaking, are all reared up. There have been many instances of even four.

Vegas, According to my phone August 10, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,poker,travel , add a comment
My yearly trip to Vegas for the World Series of Poker is my favorite time of year. A week after covering the US Chess Championship in Saint Louis, I was strapped in for my first live poker in months.
After a week of bricks, I moved on to covering the National Open in Las Vegas and also played in the G/10 Championship at the Riviera.
Daniel and I also filmed a video for CLO on the Millionaire Chess Open with GM Maurice Ashley. As usual, Vegas local and X Chess Champ Elliott Liu showed the chessplayers a good time. Here we are at one of my favorite spots in Vegas, Insert Coins.
Then I met with my friend Renae Garcia about REG "Raising for Effective Giving", a non-profit she founded along with Liv Boeree, Phil Grussiem and Igor Kurganov.
I helped Daniel direct some promotional video for them and after learning more, decided to sign up and pledge 2% of my tournament winnings. I was just in time to win a contest for free training with Igor and Phil.
I wrote about that experience and some thoughts on giving on the PokerStars Blog.
I also had a great time at the Chad Brown Memorial tournament sponsored by PokerStars, which raised over $70,000 for charity.
My quick trip to Los Angeles for Adventures of the Mind "TED for teens" was another highlight. I played a simul against the high school students. After winning the final game, I was told by one high school girl that "I had so much swag it was ridiculous." A sincere compliment from a teenager is no joke.
Back in Vegas, tournaments weren't going too well for me so I kept my spirits up by running like god in Open Face Chinese. From my hotel room, I made a video for RunItOnce, which included some live hand histories:
Truly, the beauty of Chinese Poker is you can play it ANYWHERE.
Below are some of my favorite interviews in Vegas, including a dual one for the Mark Hoke show with Katie Dozier.
Seeing and rooting on friends like Katie is one of the best things about the WSOP. I was really proud of my friend Melissa Burr for her amazing performance, which Jen Newell covered in an excellent profile piece for Cardschat.
Some other fun Vegas pix:
When I finally left Las Vegas, a few days later than originally planned, I overslept for my flight. I haven't been late for a flight in a decade. I've been waiting for a sign that I need to ease up and schedule in more breaks from travel.
But not quite yet. I'm too excited about my next batch of trips. First I head to Indiana for a Yamie Chess Simul with Scouts and panel talks at Gen Con, Then it's off to STL for commentary of the Sinquefield Cup, the strongest chess tournament in history. Soon after, I'll head to Europe for some WCOOP events (World Championship of Online of Poker), the Isle of Mann UKIPT & the PokerStars Chess International.

Saint Louis to Jerusalem & a New Role at Stars April 24, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,feminism,poker,travel , add a comment
I have a new role at PokerStars, as their Mind Sports Ambassador, to help promote the connections between chess and poker leading up to the PokerStars Isle of Man International this Fall.
My first official tournament representing PokerStars was the World Series of Poker circuit Main event in Saint Louis (which I did not win). I played in that immediately after a two-week stint giving lectures at the Saint Louis Chess Club and the World Chess Hall of Fame. Brian Jerauld at the Chess Club wrote this sweet piece on my visit and the connections between chess, poker and PokerStars support of chess, including nine years of PokerStars sponsorship of the US Chess League.
Right after Saint Louis, I traveled to Israel, where I am now, playing on the Pokerstars client for the first time since PCA. As lucky as I feel lately, I can't help but feel a twinge of regret when playing a limited number of Sundays here. As I soak up so much playing just a few tables at a time, I realize how much stronger a poker player I'd be now if not for Black Friday. Part of me knows it's futile to predict such things. Maybe I wouldn't have taken up Open Face Chinese Poker in that case, for which I now do videos on Run It Once. Or maybe I wouldn't have met so many amazing people, leading to a lot of the opportunities I have now. I certainly wouldn't have played as much live poker, and I better appreciate some of the specific skills required in that arena.
And yet it still pains my ego to know that I'd understand the game better if not for Black Friday. In the future, I need to schedule more trips to grind online, and focus less on the excitement of live stops. That being said, see you all in Vegas
On a positive note, I've done a lot of other fun interviews on chess, poker and making both games more popular.
1. I was on one of my favorite poker authors, Jared Tendler's podcast. We talked about the "Mental Game" in both chess and poker, why Magnus Carlsen has a mental game coach and whether there is tilt in chess.
2. Another podcast I love: Thinking Poker. We talk about everything from Open Face Chinese and why I decided to do training videos on the game, to what little I remember about Comparative Literature.
3. Some questions you just can't prepare for. In this fun interview with a popular Spanish YouTube chess channel, they asked me if I'd rather play Strip Chess with Magnus Carlsen or Chess Boxing with (the infamous) Borislav Ivanov!
4. I was recently on the Twoplustwo pokercast. The hosts Michael and Adam have such great chemistry. They also just interviewed the first two-time EPT Champion, PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren. It's exciting that a woman and an accomplished writer is the first to achieve this milestone. I've played with Coren a few times and her humor and charm comes out in person just as on the page.
5. I really enjoyed doing this two part interview with Poker News Daily from a few months ago- they did a flattering amount of research into my career.
6. Also a while back, me, Katie Stone & Katie Dozier were interviewed on the Full Tilt Poker blog and by Lee Davy on women in poker.
I was reminded of the last two pieces when reading this controversial piece, quoting Selbst, Stone, Danielle Moon-Anderson, Kara Scott and several other female pros.
Around 80% of the time I have a better time at the tables, because I get more attention as one of few women in the game. 20% of the time my experience may be particularly negative because I'm female. This polarization can apply to a woman's image at the table- play a hand poorly, you're probably a whale, pull off a well-timed and calculated bluff, you may be the next Vanessa Selbst.
So overall, it's a net positive for me, but as a writer, I can't help but highlight the hilarious examples of poor behavior (as I explain in this Bluff video). Things like this just aren't quite as funny:
So @mmmmarguerite & I start convo on duke porn star on cnn. none of 7 guys at tbl say anything remotely offensive. #humanity #parxbigstax

— Jennifer Shahade (@JenShahade) November 24, 2013
The more involved I become in the poker culture the less my own experiences are relevant to women starting out. More people recognize me at the table and tend to be nicer to me as a result. Poker is a global game, and picking up the game may present very different challenges for women in other situations and countries.
The comment plug in isn't working here so hit me up on twitter or email. I've also been far more active on instagram lately, especially because Jerusalem provides such a photogenic backdrop for sunsets, food porn and selfies.
PCA & TED X: Bahamas to Baltimore February 4, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,poker,travel , add a comment
2014 began with my yearly trip to the Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. A couple weeks before the event, I decided to play in the Main Event, rather than focus on my favorite new game, Open Face Pineapple. The PCA Main was technically my highest buyin ever, $300 more than the World Series of Poker Main.
In my PokerStars blog "Count His Stack First", I wrote about my experience of going super deep in the event, ultimately coming in 31st place for 43,000.
Immediately after returning from the PCA, I headed to Saint Louis for some chess classes and promotion of the Queen Within (see a good video piece on it here).
Then it was time to cure my glossophobia forever; Ted X Baltimore! I spoke to a crowd of about 1000 on chess, decision trees and poker. I'll post the video here when it lands on TED X. For now, you can find it at the livestream link. (Stream A, 49:10). Thanks to Gretchen and Mike of Code-in-the-Schools for connecting me with the opportunity.
For updates follow me on twitter. And I'm finally on instagram!
A Perfect Trip, A Queen Within & Philly on Chess November 10, 2013Posted by Administrator in : art,chess,feminism,poker,travel,video , add a comment
Last time I updated you here, I was on my way to Vegas for a panel at G2E, the largest gaming conference in the World, and Rosarito, Mexico for WCOOP, the World Championship of Online Poker.
It was one of my favorite trips in a while, as I got to play online, catch up with close friends and enjoy all the perks of a legit vacation, from clubbing at Hakkasan in Vegas to a wine tour in Mexico.
I wrote more about Mexico in my piece, "Vegas to Rosarito: Goodbye Kitty", where I concluded, "I could get used to this quiet resort town, now a bit louder with the big personalities of so many young poker players. I was so relaxed that I could see things more clearly and felt more sympathetic and less judgmental."
Next I went to my second home Saint Louis, the capital of chess in the US.
The spectacular "A Queen Within" show opened last month at the World Chess Hall of Fame.
The fantastical installation above featuring designs by Hideki Seo represents the "Explorer", one of nine archetypes of the queen explored (!) in the show. Photos don't do it justice so see it in person.
I was auctioned off at the Queen's Gala (lessons with me that is!), and I promoted the idea of "Queen Power" in chess through girls simuls and lectures.
I was also in a panel discussion on fashion, art and chess, along with "A Queen Within" curator, Sofia K. Hedman and several other brainy fashionistas.
I stayed on to give lectures at the club, all archived on YouTube. I did a series on previous Carlsen-Anand games in honor of the World Championship as well as my favorite, a lecture on problems and beauty in chess.
Now I'm back in Philadelphia and excited to play my first live poker since August at the Borgata. I'm also pumped for the Carlsen-Anand World Chess Championship. We just filmed this video of Philly predicting the outcome.
I'm working on some technical problems with blog post comments, so until then, hit me up on twitter!
Fantasyland: Three Nights in Vegas, Four Days in Mexico September 22, 2013Posted by Administrator in : art,feminism,poker,travel,video , add a comment
Our latest PokerFairyTale video stars Katie Stone, founder of the Grindettes and Melissa Burr, high stakes mixed game and Open Face player.
When you get to fantasyland in Open Face Poker (find the rules to OFC here), you get to see all your cards (or see into the future), so we posted two versions, one in which the visuals are backwards and the other in which the sound is backwards.
The first thing I tried to work out in Open Face is the math behind risking fouls for fantasyland. In simplified terms, if two lucky things have to happen for you to go to Fantasyland, it's often worth it. Three lucky things is too much. Daniel and I made these videos partly because we feel the role of luck in determining your success is understated, especially in fields outside poker. And often you can make a series of well-calculated risks without reward. The rich get richer and in Open Face, those running well tend to play better (especially in Fantasyland, ofc) than those who are buried. Malcolm Gladwell popularized this idea of "The Matthew Effect" in Outliers.
The video contrasts the perceived glamour of live poker, which can be more of a grind (represented here by the founding Grindette who relocated to Mexico to play online), than sitting in any living room or hotel to play a beloved game. Two and a half years after Black Friday, I still feel a gaping hole that PokerStars used to fill. Bovada is profitable but not the same.
After this summer, I unabashedly call Las Vegas one of my favorite places. I return for the biggest gaming conference in the World, G2E. I'm on a panel with One Drop champion Antonio Esfandiari, November-niner Jay Farber, Parx ambassador Matt Glantz and moderator Marco Valerio. We'll talk about online and live poker from a players' perspective.
In a beautiful twist of timing, I'll head to Mexico for the final weekend of the World Championship of Online Poker (Hello again PokerStars!). Three nights in Vegas, four days in Mexico, very much on purpose.
Highs and Lows in Seminole & Sinquefield Cup September 18, 2013Posted by Administrator in : chess,poker,travel , add a comment
In August, I played the 10M guaranteed at the Seminole Hard Rock in Fort Lauderdale and placed 63rd out of 2300 players for a 29,088 cash. The success came at a funny time. Going into the tournament, I was questioning the entire trip. I felt bad that I didn't know much about open face pineapple, when my intention was to play a lot of OFC in Florida. I made a few major errors in butter soft satellites to the Main and came up empty.
I recounted on twitter a few funny Floridian encounters, two amusing and one truly scary.

Regging @SHRHollywood Main & guy in line says: "You're pretty hot for a cardplayer" then "Have you been sexually assaulted lately?"

After the last one, I rushed back to my room and reported the incident to the hotel. I regretted not saying something immediately to a security officer, just so that the guy (who was not a poker player) would be publicly shamed and potentially kicked out. Never use that line guys!
My starting table was far softer than any WSOP Main Event table I've ever played at. Since it was the second highest buy-in I'd played in (5K), this made me happy about my choice to sell for and play it. Though the field naturally toughened as levels progressed, I was even happier after winning a few bucks for myself and my investors.
I came home excited about poker, but immediately focused on the next gig, commentary for the Sinquefield Cup. In this TV interview for "Show Me Saint Louis", I explain why the tournament was so ground-breaking.
As a member of the organizing team, it was thrilling when World #1 Magnus Carlsen agreed to play, his first major event in the United States. And now it was real.
Magnus's 4.5/6 performance did not disappoint (he now has a USCF provisional rating over 3000), and I am writing about my top ten moments from the trip on my USCF blog (see GM Rogers top ten here).
A particularly memorable moment, from our Friday the 13th show.
Unlike previous shows, my wardrobe shifted from business attire to a more stylish, fun look, which was fitting since my next trip to Saint Louis will be for a celebration of chess and fashion, "the Queen Within."
In the final round of the Sinquefield Cup, the champion Magnus Carlsen fought on despite a draw offer which would clinch him first place and the $70,000 first prize. He ended up winning the game, and inspiring tens of thousands of fans, including me.
Love chess even more after @MagnusCarlsen's attitude and performance here at #SinqCup @CCSCSL. Congrats! #November
— Jennifer Shahade (@JenShahade) September 15, 2013
In addition to anticipating Magnus's World Championship match vs. Anand in November, I also look forward to the 2014 Sinquefield Cup, which founder Rex Sinquefield alluded to in his final interview with GM Maurice Ashley.
A spectacular way to end the summer, and I felt sad to see it end. Onward to Vegas and Mexico, which I'll preview in my next blog.

Read The clock struck nine when I did see the nurse Romeo & Juliet soliloquy below with modern English translation & analysis:
Spoken by Juliet, Romeo & Juliet, Act 2 Scene 5
The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse;
In half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him: that's not so.
O, she is lame! love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams,
Driving back shadows over louring hills:
Therefore do nimble-pinion'd doves draw love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
Of this day's journey, and from nine till twelve
Is three long hours, yet she is not come.
Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She would be as swift in motion as a ball;
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,
And his to me:
But old folks, many feign as they were dead;
Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.
"The Clock Struck Nine When I Did Send The Nurse" Soliloquy Translation
Juliet could see by the way the sun hung over the distant hill that it was twelve o'clock. Her Nurse had been gone three hours! She had promised to return in half an hour.
Perhaps she hadn't found him! No, that couldn't be. Oh, Nurse. was pathetic. The messengers oflove should be as light as thoughts, traveling ten times faster than sunbeams, pushing all doubts and fears away, as light does to threatening shadows. That's why Love's coach is always drawn by swiftly flying doves: that's why Cupid has wings!
If her Nurse had any feelings – any passion whatsoever – her message would travel as fast as a tennis ball. The Nurse would be the ball. Juliet would serve and Romeo would return it just as fast. But like all old people, the Nurse might as well be dead. She was clumsy, slow, heavy and dull, like lead.
Juliet stuck her head out of the window every few seconds, searching the alleyway along which the Nurse would come.

Andie says:
Juliet is impatient, but she has a lot of time on her hands. I am doing this piece in drama. She is wringing her hands and is almot melodramatic. SHe really wants the nurse to come quickly!
Charles Robertson says:
"Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
Of this day's journey…"
What this actually means is that the sun is at the highest point of this day's journey and therefore noon. Juliet is not really looking at a hill. She only uses the "hill" as a metaphor. . She is inside her walled garden.

text: Shatter Soil Shank-to-Shank with this Tillage System August 15, 2013 09:41 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email If you begin to transition to vertical tillage this fall, keep in mind it's not a one-step process or a single tool. It's a system that takes time to implement and a lot of attention to detail. A vertical tillage system involves understanding the soil profile, tackling compaction issues, ensuring that each pass achieves the goal of the system, respecting residue cover and providing a well-prepared seedbed for the planter pass, according to Missy Bauer, Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist. Simply put, a vertical system means managing the entire soil profile for uniformity. "With a well-managed uniform soil profile, farmers achieve better water infiltration and drainage, quicker soil warm-up for spring planting, efficient use of nutrients, more drought tolerance, and uniform growth and pollination," Bauer says. Although the benefits sound like a good fit, Bauer reminds farmers that adopting a vertical system is not a one-step process. Check out her recommendations in this video, and her thoughts on how to start the transition to vertical tillage this fall. ....................................

text: Money In the Bank February 26, 2013 08:04 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Snaplage increases yields 15% to 20% Research by Dupont Pioneer agronomists confirms that snaplage can boost yields 15% to 20% more than harvesting high moisture corn alone. Along with the grain, snaplage harvests husk, cob and ear shank. Nutritionally, snaplage will have an intermediate value between high moisture corn and corn silage, says Dan Wiersma, livestock information manager for Dupont Pioneer. Bonus Content Snaplage Feeding Trial Production Briefs/ Harvesting Earlage and Snaplage In 2012 Wisconsin trials, snaplage yields ranged from 6 to 7 tons acres with starch content ranging from about 60% to 66%, depending on the hybrid and field. Key to harvesting snaplage is moisture content. "The ideal moisture is between 36% and 42% for the final snaplage product (kernel moisture will be at about 34% to 36% at this stage)," Wiersma says. "At this moisture, corn is physiologically mature and maximum starch production has occurred. In addition, the digestibility of the cob is high," he says. Once snaplage moisture reaches about 35%, it's probably best to switch to harvesting only the grain as high moisture. While you will lose yield, it will prevent feeding and digestibility concerns, Wiersma says. Field data show neutral detergent fiber levels increase in the cob, husk and shank at lower moistures and later harvest dates. "At each of our locations, the product with the highest harvest moisture also had the higher invitro starch digestibility percentage," Wiersma says. Snaplage is harvested by mounting a snapper head on a forage chopper. Equipment should be adjusted to inflict maximum damage to both corn kernels and cobs. "All corn kernels should be cracked and cob pieces should be smaller than your thumbnail," Wiersma says. "Use a very short chopping length and use the fine-tooth rollers adjusted 2 to 3 mm apart," he says "Also, the differential speed of rollers may need to be set higher for snaplage than for silage.

When I'm not blogging about dead people, coaching others on how to use technology to find dead people, or researching other people's dead people, I can usually be found in an antique store searching for letters, post cards, tickets, photos, books, etc. once owned by people who are now dead.

BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, Tough way to end the season for the Burlington High School football team. FLUDIAZEPAM schedule, The last thing the Grayhounds needed was a game to resemble the Bettendorf outcome earlier this season, but that is what happened, buy FLUDIAZEPAM without prescription. FLUDIAZEPAM images, BHS scored first in its Class 4A playoff opener against third-ranked Cedar Falls, only to give up the next 42 points, canada, mexico, india. Where to buy FLUDIAZEPAM, As the season ends at 4-6, here are some final thoughts:
• BHS had six-win talent. Too many games got away because of mistakes at critical junctures of games, buy FLUDIAZEPAM online cod. FLUDIAZEPAM from mexico, The season started so promising with a win over Davenport Central, but a turnover-prone loss to Davenport Assumption and an inexplicable loss to Muscatine in the fourth quarter might have cost the Grayhounds a home game in the playoffs, where can i buy cheapest FLUDIAZEPAM online. A 6-3 mark would have been close, at the least, BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Generic FLUDIAZEPAM, • The Grayhounds beat the teams they should've beaten, but nothing more. They were dominating in wins over lowly Davenport North and Davenport West, FLUDIAZEPAM dosage, Purchase FLUDIAZEPAM online no prescription, but were nowhere to be found against heavyweights Bettendorf and North Scott. The loss to Pleasant Valley was doomed by one bad quarter, buy cheap FLUDIAZEPAM no rx, Australia, uk, us, usa, and the aforementioned Assumption defeat was marred by red zone turnovers. For a team to take the next step, FLUDIAZEPAM pictures, Taking FLUDIAZEPAM, they need to challenge the upper-echelon MAC teams.
• Josh Osborn proved to be a sensational running back. It was evident early that he was the heart and soul of the offense, FLUDIAZEPAM maximum dosage, About FLUDIAZEPAM, and he did not disappoint. BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, Six 100-yard rushing games helped make him the MAC rushing champion by five yards. As I mentioned in an earlier post, no prescription FLUDIAZEPAM online, Ordering FLUDIAZEPAM online, he would have been my choice for league MVP because I don't know if anyone meant more to his team's success than Osborn.
• After a great effort against Davenport Central, FLUDIAZEPAM forum, Discount FLUDIAZEPAM, in which the offense featured balance, the Grayhounds got spoiled by the running game. And who wouldn't with a unit that led the conference in rushing at 250 yards per game, FLUDIAZEPAM gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release. Order FLUDIAZEPAM no prescription, Even coach John Flaherty said it took too long to get back to balance, and the passing game looked rusty at times during the last three weeks, FLUDIAZEPAM description, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, but also wasn't helped by several drops. It was the balance that was needed in the losses, FLUDIAZEPAM long term, My FLUDIAZEPAM experience, when the running game was likely to get contained. Better balance made the North Scott loss more competitive, but you just wonder how many more games could have been won had BHS stuck to its opening-week style, BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION.
• The season became an uphill battle once Jordan Webb broke a fibula against Central, buy generic FLUDIAZEPAM. Order FLUDIAZEPAM online overnight delivery no prescription, What was to be a three-pronged running attack became mostly Osborn and some Jamal Simmons. It was a setback no one saw coming, online buying FLUDIAZEPAM. Webb missed five weeks with the injury, and he looked great at times when he returned. BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, But he never seemed to get 100 percent healthy.
• BHS continues to build solid offensive lines. That's the one thing you can say that's consistent. Whether they run more spread, like they did in 2008, or more of a Wing-T like this season, the Grayhounds build around the offense they want to run. This year's offensive line was terrific. It wasn't the biggest, but it cleared just big enough holes for the running backs to run through. And they deserve most of the credit for Osborn's big season, including a 232-yard performance against West that clinched the rushing title, BUY FLUDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION.
• I don't know how BHS is going to replace more than 20 seniors. It'll take time. It's hard to tell whether or not the sophomores will develop at the varsity level, but there was some talent at that level. BHS will lose its offensive line and skill position players. That's a lot for any program to withstand.

Andy Posner: 14 To Watch in Rhode Island in 2014
Thursday, January 02, 2014
Capital Good Fund, Posner is working to have the "best financial empowerment organization in America by providing high-quality, innovative and transformational financial services to underserved families."
In October, the National Consumer Law Center gave Rhode Island a "C" for debt protection laws for consumers in the state. Posner told GoLocal, "One of the biggest problems is that we are the only New England state that allows payday lenders to charge more than 36% APR. In fact, in RI they can charge up to 260% APR thanks to a special carve out in the general laws. These loans target the poor and trap them in a cycle of debt that leads to tremendous stress and a significant drain on their finances."
United Way of Rhode Island, the Capital Good Fund (CFG), launched its first "micro-branch" in Woonsocket, to help residents with a Payday Alternative Program.
"United Way and CGF began discussing this project last April. United Way and many other community based organizations were working at the legislature to lower the rate that payday lenders can charge from 260% APR to something more reasonable. One of the objections we heard was that there were no alternatives for people who needed short term loans," said Tony Maione, President and CEO of the United Way of Rhode Island.
The CGF loans can be between $300-500, and can be repaid over one year at a 36% APR. The loans come with financial literacy assistance in things like budgeting to help families stay on track and not need short term loans in the future.
According to Posner's CGF bio, he is a "firm adherent to the dream of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner and 'Father' of microfinance, to put poverty into museums; or, as Andy likes to put it, to put poverty out of business." Watch for Posner and his community partners to continue to make an impact on the lives of families in Rhode Island in 2014.

Brierley is a rising fashion designer who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, as well as the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, and resisted the lure of the Big Apple to open her flagship store in Newport.
"I just wanted to do something fresh," Brierley told GoLocal in July. "I love how much the community in Newport appreciates what we do and our windows. It is a rewarding connection to a community."
Matt Jennings
12 to Watch in 2012...Best Brunch in Providence in 2013...multiple nods for the James Beard Award...Farmstead's Matt Jennings is not one to rest on his laurels atop the always competitive Providence and RI culinary scenes.
With a loyal Twitter base nearing 10,000 followers, Jennings—known as "Providence's Pied Piper of Cheese" and "Prince of Pork"—continues to advance the culture and excellence that landed Providence atop Travel + Leisure's list for Food/Drink/Restaurants—the #1 city in the country—in 2012.
Providence-based biotech EpiVax, Inc., is an immunology company that has "developed comprehensive analytical capabilities in the field of computational immunology" and applies those tools to re-engineer therapeutic proteins and to design new vaccines. The company continues to forge ahead as a groundbreaking health science company in the state. Basically, as stated on their website, they "do it all."
Andy Posner
Microfinance proponent and co-founder of the Capital Good Fund, Posner is working to be the "best best financial empowerment organization in America by providing high-quality, innovative and transformational financial services to underserved families."
In October, the National Consumer Law Center gave Rhode Island a "C" for debt protection laws for consumers in the state. Posner told GoLocal that "One of the biggest problems is that we are the only New England state that allows payday lenders to charge more than 36% APR. In fact, in RI they can charge up to 260% APR thanks to a special carve out in the general laws. These loans target the poor and trap them in a cycle of debt that leads to tremendous stress and a significant drain on their finances."
This Betaspring darling and Walker Williams brainchild is set to revolutionize the way that custom-designed tee-shirts are produced. The company allows customers to design a style, set a sales goal, and pre-order the product, cutting out the need for a middle man.
"No paying thousands of dollars upfront, no guessing how many shirts or what sizes you'll need, and no passing out t-shirts one by one and chasing people down for cash," writes Teespring on their website. And folks are taking note—Forbes contributor Alexander Taub wrote in January of Teepsring, "Is this Rhode Based startup the future of custom apparel?"
Patti Doyle
This consummate public relations professional struck out on her own in 2013 after years at RDW Group with Patti Doyle Communications, and shows no sign of slowing down.
Doyle's clients include Twin River Casino, which officially launched its table game offerings after a successful 2012 referendum. The gaming licensing process has been slow and deliberate in Massachusetts, which in 2011 approved legislation to allow up to 3 casinos and a slots parlor, promising stiff competition to Twin River once those are up and operational. Once the fight is on, watch for Doyle to be spearheading the communications strategy from Rhode Island's third-largest source of revenue.
Anna Cano-Morales
A 2013 RI YWCA "Woman of Achievement," Cano-Morales is no stranger to accolades for her work in the community. The Central Falls native is the Director of the Latino Policy Institute at Roger Williams University and is Chair of the Central Falls School District Board of Trustees.
Cano-Morales was no stranger to GoLocal's Hot or Not lists this year, earning multiple "hot" nods for her work, including LPI reports focusing on the state's latino workforce. And Cano-Morales is forward thinking when it comes to educational opportunities, and talked with GoLocal about the biggest challenges she saw facing Rhode Island.
Jeff Britt
While much of the 2014 gubernatorial campaign season will be played out in public view, one of the most influential political power brokers will continue to operate behind the scenes, having a major role in the outcome of the election of the state's next governor.
Deepwater Wind
Which way will the wind blow in 2014 for the Deepwater Wind project?
2013 saw Deepwater Wind win key leases in the first round of federal auctions in August for offshore wind projects, taking the bids at just over $3.8 million. In December, the state properties committee approved agreements to allow for an underwater transmission cable to go through Scarborough State Beach, to allow Deepwater to build a "demonstration" wind farm off of Block Island.
Edith Ajello
In 2012, the legalization of same-sex marriage was the top social and legal issue addressed and approved by the General Assembly. Will the full-scale legalization of marijuana be on the table in 2014? Expect to see State Rep. Edith Ajello front and center in the debate if so.
While medical marijuana and the decriminalization of the possession of small amounts of it have moved through the General Assembly, the question is whether Rhode Island will follow Colorado and Washington's lead and pass full-scale legalization legislation.
Buddy Cianci
Will he, or won't he?
One of the burning questions for 2014 is whether the former two-time Mayor of Providence will toss his hat in the ring for a third go at the office.
GoLocal posed the questions back in September, asking political experts and pundits their thoughts on the matter. Of the longest-serving Mayor of Providence, who was in office from 1975 to 1984 and again from 1991 to 2002, Darrell West of the Brookings Institute and formerly of Brown's Taubman Center for Public Policy said, "There would be tremendous media and public interest if Cianci ran. It would turn this into a high-profile campaign. It is not clear what will be the deciding factor. It would be very different if Cianci is in the race or not."
Clay Pell
In October, GoLocal broke that Clay Pell, grandson of six-term Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell, was weighing a potential 2014 gubernatorial run in Rhode Island.
Pell, who's resume includes being a White House staffer and Coast Guard Reserve Officer, married Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan in a ceremony at First Unitarian Church in Providence in 2013, and was appointed by President Obama as Deputy Assistant Secretary for International and Foreign Language Education in April.

In similar fashion to the patent for a today screen, Apple Insider is reporting Apple's new filing shows a way of displaying icon-like status indicators on the iPhone's display even though the phone is locked with the backlight not turned on. Apple seems to be paying attention lately to alerts/notifications and that is great news!
blockquote>Apple proposes the implementation of a dual backlight system, where a secondary, low-power backlight system would be positioned behind the primary backlight system. The always-on light provided by the secondary backlight system could then be projected through one or more transparent or semitransparent regions of the primary backlight system to reach the display even when the primary backlight is turned off.
The lack of a feature similar to this is one of the current iPhone's biggest complaints. You leave your iPhone on a table and you walk out of the room for 5 minutes... during that time you get a email or missed call... you get sidetracked and don't turn your phone on... you never know that a message is waiting for you. No blinking LED, no second audible alerts (unless it's a SMS message), nothing. That is a major gripe that I hear over and over regarding the iPhone.
So as soon as this is actually a reality, it will give the haters one less reason to complain. It's just too bad we will all have to wait until a future iPhone to see this feature.

Ontario Nurse Practitioner Graduate Programs (On-Campus)
Nurse Practitioner Graduate programs prepare Registered Nurses to take on the specialty role of nurse Practitioner, since a master's degree is considered qualification for entry-level positions. Nurse practitioners (NPs) are called advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). These professionals have completed graduate level education beyond that required of the generalist registered nurse (RN) to provide care to patients throughout their lifespan, from infants to the elderly. From an MSN, many APRNs choose to earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or a Ph.D. Nurse Practitioner Graduate degrees offer different education paths depending on your current status.
Nurse Practitioner Graduate Programs Essential Information
Prospective applicants to a Nurse Practitioner Graduate Program may be required to submit their GRE scores, letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and resume as part of their application. M.S. programs require a bachelor's degree and an active RN license, high GPAs, statistics and other non-medical programs for some programs. Externships, clinical practice and research project or thesis may be a component of the program as well.
Some nurse practitioner graduate students will already have experience working as a registered nurse prior to enrolling in the online nurse practitioner program, while others might come from other medical or scientific backgrounds. The type of education you have at the undergraduate level will direct your graduate education. For instance, you might find a BSN-MSN-DNP or MSN-DNP Nurse Practitioner depending on what you currently have achieved.
Potential Benefits to Nurse Practitioner Graduate Programs on Campus
On-Campus Nurse Practitioner Graduate programs combine both classroom education and clinical experience. The potential advantage to actually being in a campus-based program is that you get a hands-on education, with plenty of interaction and an opportunity to network and participate within a supportive group environment. Plus, you will have access to the campus facilities, such as libraries, laboratories and student social services.
If this sounds good to you, you can search for Campus-based Nurse Practitioner Degree Programs on GradSchools.com by location; use the city, state or country tabs then scroll through the different types of degrees
Types of Campus-Based Nurse Practitioner Graduate Degrees
Nurse practitioner (NPs) training is widely available through master's programs, post-master's certificate programs and doctoral programs. Graduates of these programs are eligible for state licensure as NPs and national certification by organizations like the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
Nurse Practitioner Masters Programs offer nursing students the opportunity to choose a specialization such as Family Nurse Practitioner, Acute Care Nurse Practitioner or Adult Nurse Practitioner. Coursework in nurse practitioner Master of Science in Nursing programs cover advanced patient care and healthcare topics such as:
- Statistics and epidemiology
- Evidence-based treatment
- Advanced pathophysiology
- Healthcare policy
If this is the graduate degree you are looking for, review listings such as RN-MSN with a specialization in Family Nurse Practitioner, or MS in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner
Nurse Practitioner Graduate Certificates may be a great way for current nurses to take their career in a new direction by learning specialized skills. If you already have a master's degree and are looking for more credentials, review listings such as Family Nurse Practitioner Post Graduate Certificate
Nurse Practitioner Doctorate Degrees offer a terminal education for Nurse Practitioners. Curricula for D.N.P. programs focus on the clinical aspects of advanced practice nursing. Common coursework might include:
- Nursing research
- Pharmacology therapeutics
- Trauma and emergency care
- Advanced psychiatric nursing
- Integrative health
If you are looking for DNP campus programs, some of the listings might include MS-DNP Executive Leader, Doctor of Nursing Practice or PhD in Nursing
Ready to Search for a Campus Nurse Practitioner Graduate Program?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are both primary and specialty care providers. They deliver advanced nursing services to patients and their families, assess patients, and determine the best way to improve or manage a patient's health. Although the scope of their responsibilities varies by state, many nurse practitioners work independently, prescribe medications, and order laboratory tests. If this work sounds rewarding for you, the job forecast is optimistic, with an anticipated 35% rise in employment between 2014 and 2024, which is around 44,700 new jobs. Why not prepare for this demand by looking into graduate schools with a Nurse Practitioner degree program that aligns with your interests and goals!

Scenes from "An Evening with Shovels and Rope" include: A baby's carriage in front of a tour bus adjacent line that wrapped around the block; the look of confusion from fans as they pile in to find this general admission show to be completely seated; and Carrie Ann Hearst and Michael Trent taking the stage in pink velour matching dress and suit.
Shovels & Rope does what they want.
This artistic liberty was palpable in the sold-out Boulder Theater. The dynamic duo (excuse the Cliché) switch instruments nearly every song and display their jack-of-all-trades style that can make a simple four-count drum beat feel improvised and new as Carrie Ann hits the ride with a rumba shaker. This may be no surprise to many, but this tour seems to be a strong signal that Shovels and Rope are going to be here for a while. This intimate show featured songs that they don't often play, a few new tracks, and some classics reimagined, "Because we don't remember how to play a lot of our songs" joked Colorado native Michael. Standouts include a cover of Jump Little Children's "Mexico", a new arrangement of "Evil", a debut "Come on Utah!", and a "2017 year-end review" titled "Great, America" that exhibits a political side of the down-home duo that we rarely hear. This song is available for download and all proceeds go to veterans dealing with the challenges of brain trauma via Intrepid Fallen Heroes.
This tour is running through the summer. If you have a chance to catch a show it comes highly suggested.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Change is good...and hard
The biggest training shake-up? Probably switching over from my clunky Montrails to the super light inov-8 Flyroc 284s. It took me a good six months to transition from the former to the latter to avoid any injury to my achilles or plantar fascia, which is often the case with folks trying the switch from a more supportive shoe to one with less. I absolutely love my Flyrocks! I have noticed a change in my foot strike (more mid-foot than heel) and I can negotiate technical downhills with greater ease because of the grippy sole and lightness. They are also super comfy on the road, which is good since Masochist has about 40 miles of dirt road!
I also tested out (and love) the 2XU calf sleeves. I had some major cramping in my legs at Terrapin 50K and Highland Sky 40, so this summer I have been wearing the sleeves in all my training. Yesterday I wore them on a 20 miler road run and last week on a 40-minute tempo run, and they are very comfy. After a multi-hour trail run last weekend, my legs felt great afterward and the next day. I haven't worn them exclusively for post-run recovery but will certainly try them after Masochist for the car ride home.
My training with Howard has been going really well. Last spring I was feeling a bit stale and recognized that, after 8 years of training and racing, I was in need of a change. New races, new training routes, and a new program were just what I needed to shake things up and get me excited to run again. I am really excited about Masochist (which is not a "new" race for me but I haven't run it in three years) and, for the first time since 2005, I will not be running Hellgate 100K. With all the change in other parts of my life, it is nice to keep the training and racing calendar simple and wide open for now. Howard has got me running solid fartlek runs on Tuesdays followed by solid tempos on Wednesdays. After a day off on Thursday and easy runs on Monday and Friday, I always feel rested and fresh for the long weekend run. It is nice to be so "mindless" with my training...I just look at the program and do it. I can tell that my turnover is quicker and that my legs are fresher with this new program. I am looking forward to the next 8 weeks of Masochist training!
One thing that hasn't changed? I was once again given the opportunity to speak to the ladies of the Charlottesville 4 Miler training program last week. This is my favorite morning of the year! I love feeling the positive vibes and energy of this remarkable group of women, most of whom are running their very first race in the 4 Miler and are raising funds and awareness for breast cancer research. This was my fourth year as a guest speaker, and I encouraged them to "pass with pride" and not be afraid to be competitive during the race. Since most have never run a race before and were planning to run with their training partners, I also encouraged them to make a deal with one another, so that if one of them felt good during the last mile and wanted to pick up the pace, they shouldn't feel guilty about leaving the group. It is, after all, a race...and change is good!
Here is a pic of me speaking to the ladies. I can't figure out how to post it without the Shutterfly connection, so this will have to do.

From the sounds of things, you are handling all of these changes in grand style. Funny how we can look so forward to talking with a group. I am sure that you were so encouraging to them once again. When we make others feel good, we feel good ourselves. You continue to do yourself proud. Just keep it going.

Glad the training is going well and good luck with all the change - sounds like you have handled it all very well. I am doing Grindstone this year but am skipping Masochist. Good luck with the rest of your training.

Aw, shucks fellas, thanks for your sweet comments! I can always count on you guys to read the blog and send me some props. You are the best :-)
Bedford, best of luck to you at Grindstone!! You will love it. If you need some Gstone race reports, I wrote a few in 2008 and 2009 in my blog archives. I also was OCD in 2008 and wrote obsessively on my Gstone training if you need some training help :-)
Rick, looks like Cheat Mtn was another cool adventure and that you guys/gals all ran close together (you, Will, Jen, Ed) Good times! Looking forward to seeing you at Masochist!
Gentry, let's plan another SNP run soon...shoot me an email brotha.

Sophie, I can so relate to this post. Many changes for me this year too. It's been and still is so hard for me to let go of Alex. His soft soul and sweet disposition is so close to my heart but he is growing up. And...it's sort of seems rapid right now. However much I relish is watching him become a young man I know I will get less and less of him. Since my family life is so intermixed with my running life the change feels consuming. For me, it's time to change it up. New coach, new races, new distance and new terrain. Adjusting and going with the flow has been a huge lesson for my control freak personality.

Thanks, Ronda. It is always great to hear your perspective as there aren't many of us moms out here doing all this crazy fun stuff.
The funny thing is that while my kids still insist I am a control freak (which I have to agree was evident as we were packing/unpacking the boy for college)...I am so much more "chill" (their word, not mine) than I used to be now that I have 8 years of ultras under my belt. Ha! Thank goodness for ultras to keep us sane, right?
One of the good things about saying goodbye to college son is that it made me realize that I need to make the most of these next 5 years with younger son and daughter, even if it means racing less. A small price to pay :-)
Good luck with all your new routines and races as well! I look forward to reading all about them.

Great to hear your new training regimen and shoes are treating you well. Your confidence is shining through! And, you seem to handle all the changes in life with aplomb.
