Eilidh Southren - Conservation & Environment, Rainforest Conservation in Peru
"Michael... There's a tarantula on that wall over there..", I whispered.
It was the end of my first day at Taricaya, and the volunteers were all relaxing together with a movie on the generator-run DVD player. All except me, with my legs curled up against my chest and mouth open in horror at the little creature a few metres from us.
"I know," he replied, hardly taking his eyes off the film.
"But.. but!"
"Eilidh", he laughed, "It's fine."
Of course it was. Quite a regular occurrence in fact, as I found out in the days that followed. Tarantulas, moths the size of your hand, psychedelic caterpillars, batteries of ants everywhere you looked. And that was just the small critters.
Nature envelops you as soon as you step off the boat into Taricaya. The constant hum of cicadas, bird calls and the odd growl from resident jaguar Preciousa are a little overwhelming at first, but soon become the soothing background noise that you love waking up to in the morning.
The main reason I'd wanted to travel to Peru was to experience a totally different culture, climate and way of life in general. The Conservation project seemed perfect for me, combining my love of nature, travelling and ecology.
Coming from Scotland made my arrival in Puerto Maldonado interesting – coming off the plane into a wall of heat and humidity was a million miles away from the windy autumn I'd just left behind. I was greeted at the airport by Projects Abroad staff member Maria Rosemberg, a resident of Puerto with a fantastic American-twanged accent. After an exhilarating ride into town on a tuk tuk, I was given an overview of everything I'd be doing, before heading off to meet the other volunteers at a local hostel. It was Sunday and they were a little tired from a previous nights' partying, but I felt welcome and relaxed immediately.
The reserve itself is an hour or so downstream from the town, so with a weeks' worth of provisions (including all the food for the animals, fuel, building materials and snack essentials of oreos and coke, of course) we set off. Still buzzed from my arrival, all I could do was gaze in wonder at the dense jungle passing by, with the odd house, farm or lodge in between. It passed by quickly, as all the boat journeys did, and soon I was heaving my rucksack off the boat and onto dry land. A chain of people quickly transported everything from the boat into Taricaya. After a quick tour, I was unpacking into my new home for the next three months, a cosy 4-person bungalow.
After a night of sleeping like the dead, I woke up fresh and ready to start my first day of activities. I'm not a morning person, but with a sunrise at 5am and an alarm clock of bird symphony metres from the front door, you don't have much of a choice. After being in the routine for a few days it becomes surprisingly easy!
My first activity was cutting kudzu (a thick vine) and papaya to feed our two tapirs. Wielding a machete made me feel distinctly Rambo-like, and I managed not to lose any limbs. Success! One activity down, two to go, and I was already exhausted and in need of a shower. Cold showers may seem like your idea of hell, but in the dense heat of the rainforest it's a godsend.
Thankfully the bird watching was a little more relaxing. I rapidly learned the names of the birds that flew overhead, with the odd rare one feverishly looked up in our bible, The Birds of Peru. It sounds dull, but it's a great way to relax, whether it's in the platform overlooking the goats in New Farm, over the swamp or in the beautiful canopy, 42m up in the air. The long trek up the bridge to get there offers spectacular panoramas over the treetops, and gets you really close to the birds that fly overhead.
After what seemed like the longest day of my life, I was content to have a siesta (which sounds more mature than 'nap-time') in the hammocks. Pure bliss. See monkeys hopping in the trees over your head, relax with a book or write up the day's happenings in a journal, which soon becomes your favourite possession along with your camera.
There's a vast array of activities to look forward to. The turtle project was a favourite of mine; helping to hatch around 2000 eggs and release them back into the wild away from poachers. Everyday the animals needed to be fed, trails through the forest had to be hacked clear with machetes, buildings needed to be maintained, plant data was collected, and every time something new to learn. Evenings were filled with fiestas, lectures from the staff experts, relaxing get-togethers on the bungalow balconies with chill music, and deep sleep.
Be prepared to eat vast quantities of rice, generally the staple of 2 meals a day. Mealtimes are incredibly social, where all the volunteers are together, playing cards, sharing cultures (Danish boot dance, anyone?) or generally moaning about the food. It's good and filling, if a little repetitive. A small volunteer kitchen led to many culinary delights, such as eggy bread and incredible Taricaya cookies, to keep us going.
Taricaya's a magical place. Clichéd, but true. Being there a day feels like a week, and after the first month it feels like home. Some volunteers stay just a week, others stay for months like I did, but it always feels like a giant, multi-cultured family. In the end I just didn't want to leave. I learned about the diversity and importance of the rainforest, brushed up on my Spanish, and made friends for life, from all corners of the globe. Everyday there can greet you with a different adventure. Quite simply, I had the greatest time of my life.

Innovation Grants
On June 3, the Department kicked-off the 2011 Investing in Innovation (i3) grant competition to continue support for evidence-based practices in education. This second round of i3 makes $150 million available to individual school districts, consortia of districts, and non-profit organizations in partnership with districts or groups of schools. Grants will be available within the same three categories as in round one:
- up to $25 million each for scale-up grants to applicants with the strongest evidence and track record of success;
- up to $15 million each for validation grants to verify effectiveness of programs with moderate levels of evidence; and
- up to $3 million each for development grants to support new, high-potential practices whose impact should be studied further.
Grant recipients will be required to secure private sector matching funds of 5%, 10%, or 15%, respectively.
Three absolute priorities remain from last year's grant competition: supporting effective teachers and principals, implementing high standards and quality assessments, and turning around persistently low-performing schools. For this year's competition, the Department has included two new absolute priorities focusing on achievement and high school graduation rates in rural schools and promoting science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. All applicants must address one of these five areas of reform. In addition, competitive preference will be given to applications that demonstrate support for improving early learning outcomes, increasing college access and success, addressing the unique needs of students with disabilities and limited English proficient students, or improving productivity or technology.
The Department will offer pre-application workshops in the coming weeks (June 17 in Washington, D.C., June 24 in San Francisco, and June 28 in Houston), along with several webinars on key topics. Applications are due on August 2. Awards will be made no later than December 31. (Note: Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a notice of intent to apply by June 23.)
Meanwhile, the Department is seeking peer reviewers from a variety of backgrounds and professions for the competition. Reviewers must have expertise in at least one of the program's five absolute priorities or in educational evaluation and be available for roughly four weeks, in August and September, to review applications. Resumes and an information checklist are due by July 8.
Lessons from High-Performing Nations
"Improving Teacher Quality Around the World," a report authored by Asia Society's Senior Advisor for Education Vivien Stewart on behalf of the International Summit on the Teaching Profession's partner organizations, discusses lessons shared during the two-day event held in New York City in March. The summit marked the first-ever convening of education ministers, teachers, and union leaders from high-performing and rapidly improving countries and regions. Discussions were framed around four overarching themes: teacher recruitment and preparation; development, support, and retention of teachers; teacher evaluation and compensation; and teacher engagement in reform. "The report concludes that achieving consistency in teaching quality has become central to the agenda of every country," said Stewart. "To make progress, governments and teachers organizations will need to work togetheras they did at this summitto invent a new vision for the teaching profession." Plans are already underway to convene a second international summit in spring 2012.
Gainful Employment
Recently, after an 18-month negotiation with the higher education community, the Administration released final regulations requiring career college programs to better prepare students for "gainful employment" or risk losing access to federal student aid. While many career college programs are helping to prepare America's workforce for the jobs of the future, far too many students at these schools are taking on unsustainable debt, in exchange for degrees and certificates that fail to help them get the jobs they need or were promised. The regulations, which go into effect on July 1, 2012, are designed to ramp up over the next four years, granting colleges time to reform while protecting students and their families from exploitative programs.
To qualify for federal aid, the law requires that most for-profit programs and certificate programs at non-profit and public institutions prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. Under the new regulations, a program would be deemed to lead to gainful employment if it meets at least one of the following three metrics: at least 35% of former students are repaying their loans (defined as reducing the loan balance by at least $1); the estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 30% of discretionary income; or the estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 12% of total earnings. While the regulations apply to occupational training programs at all types of institutions, for-profit programs are most likely to leave their students with unaffordable debts and poor employment prospects.
At present, students at for-profit institutions represent 12% of all higher education students, 26% of all student loans, and 46% of all student loan dollars in default. The median federal student loan debt carried by students earning associate degrees at for-profit institutions is $14,000, while the majority of students at community colleges do not borrow. More than a quarter of for-profit institutions receive 80% of their revenue from taxpayer-financed federal student aid.
Based on thoughtful consideration of public comments and concerns, the new regulations improve upon the previously released draft proposal. Colleges will now be required to disclose their total program costs, loan repayment rates, graduates' debt-to-earning ratio, and other critical consumer information to help students better choose the program that is right for them. Also, poorly performing programs must fail the debt measure three times in a four-year period before losing access to participate in federal student aid programsrather than losing eligibility immediately. Under the framework, the first year a program could become ineligible would be 2015. "We're asking companies that receive up to 90% of their profits from taxpayer dollars to be at least 35% effective," Secretary Duncan asserted. "This is a perfectly reasonable bar and one that every for-profit program should be able to reach."
With the emphasis on program improvement under the final regulations, the Department estimates that fewer programs will ultimately lose eligibility for participation in federal student aid programs than under the draft proposal. The agency estimates that 18% of for-profit programs are expected to fail the thresholds at some point, with 5% of them failing to improve and ultimately losing eligibility. Among programs at all institutions, approximately 8% may fail the thresholds at some point, with 2% of them failing to improve and losing eligibility.
Tools for Higher Education
Continuing its commitment to postsecondary institutions and students, the Department announced tools to help schools raise their performance to better serve students. First, it is providing institutions with guidance on tuition-free trial periods, which give students the chance to see if a program is right for them before they commit financially. A letter to schools describes trial periods and explains how federal student aid eligibility will work. Second, it is creating and implementing a pilot program on lower loan limits. This pilot program will allow selected schools to test alternative methods of administering federal student aid by providing waivers for specific student aid requirements. Third, it is accepting proposals from guaranty agencies that participate in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program to enter into Voluntary Flexible Agreements, or VFAs, with the Secretary. The VFAs will improve services to students, schools, and lenders; use federal resources more cost-effectively and efficiently; and enhance the integrity and stability of the FFEL program.
Regulatory Review
As part of its implementation of Executive Order 13563, issued by President Obama on January 18, 2011, the Department is seeking comments and information from interested parties on its "Preliminary Plan for Retrospective Analysis of Existing Rules," which outlines the agency's plan for the periodic review of its regulations. The Department welcomes views on how best to conduct an analysis of existing rules and how best to identify those rules that might be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed. Feedback on the plan should be submitted through Regulations.gov.
Odds and Ends
In a television special that premiered this week, viewers have the chance to follow the experiences of students at Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, winner of this year's Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge.
The Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), has issued three new reports: "Characteristics of Private Schools in the U.S.: Results from the 2009-10 Private School Universe Survey;" "Crime, Violence, Discipline, and Safety in U.S. Public Schools: Findings from the School Survey on Crime and Safety: 2009-10;" and "Education and Certification Qualifications of Departmentalized Public High School-Level Teachers of Core Subjects: Evidence from the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey."
Last month, at the launch of a series of "Connecting Communities for the Common Good" meetings around the country, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships released a comprehensive partnership guide. This guide provides interested faith-based and community organizations with information about opportunities to form partnerships across government, on issues like housing, job creation, summer meal programs, responsible fatherhood, and disaster response. The Department's own Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships is participating in the series, leading workshop sessions on how community organizations can strengthen education partnerships.
This month, on a conference call, Secretary Duncan and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke discussed comprehensive immigration reform with members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Yesterday (June 9), President Obama signed an Executive Order establishing the White House Rural Council. Chaired by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the council will be responsible for making recommendations for investment in rural areas and coordinate federal engagement with a variety of rural stakeholders, including state, local, and tribal governments. In the coming months, the council will focus on job creation and economic development by increasing the flow of capital to rural areas, promoting innovation, expanding digital and physical networks, and celebrating opportunity through America's natural resources.
Quote to Note
"Last year, we brought together companies and community colleges to launch a new campaign, led by business leaders from across the U.S., called Skills for America's Future. The idea was simple. If we could match-up businesses and schools, we could create pipelinesright from the classroom to the office or the factory floor. This would help workers find better jobs, and it would help companies locate the highly educated and highly trained people they need in order to prosper and to remain competitive. Today, we're announcing some new commitments by the private sector, colleges, and the National Association of Manufacturers, to help make these partnerships a reality. Through these efforts, we're going to make it possible for approximately 500,000 community college students to get industry-accepted credentials for manufacturing jobs that companies across America are looking to fill. The irony is even though a lot of folks are looking for work, there are a lot of companies that are actually also looking for skilled workers. There's a mismatch that we can close. And, this partnership is a great way to do it."
|President Barack Obama (6/8/11), in remarks at Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria

There are several wonderful family historians out there who have researched the Blanton family. One to whom I am most grateful is Debbie Blanton McCoy of Blanton Family Roots. She has done extensive research on my line in particular (cuz we're cousins - it's her line too). I wish to honor her research appropriately and desire only to add my own experiences with this post. Please visit her wonderful website for more information on the family.
When I think of the Blantons, one image comes to my mind every time - the headstone of my 3rd great grandfather, Isaac Washington Blanton deep in the rural woods of East Texas, south of Linden. It has been twelve years since I first encountered that stone, and the circumstances surrounding its discovery guaranteed that I would never forget it.
That time, the reason for the trip to East Texas was a sad one. It had been five years since my grandparents had passed. The time had come to pack up the rest of the house and get it ready to sell. For one week it was just my father and I. It was a very special time, though the task at hand weighed heavy on our hearts. My father is the type of man that carries the weight of the world on his shoulders but never allows it to tumble down around those he loves. We laughed. We took walks. We reminisced. We visited family that knew more about me through secondary conversation than first hand. One of those people was Effie Dollard.
Effie was my great grandmother's sister. She was a small, cuddly woman with a high, sweet voice and the brightest sparkle in both her eyes. Born in 1907 she was still sharp as a tack. Not only that but she was a talker AND she loved talking about her family! Her parents were Ora Alberta Blanton who married Sidney Lee Perkins. If you have been following my posts you know that Janine from Landailyn Research and Restoration recently restored a photo of this family in her online tutorial, "Restoring a Partial Fade" on Tipsquirrel.com. Effie was born the year after the photo was taken.
The photo shows the family in front of their farmhouse in the Sardis Community of Cass county. The farm originally belonged to Ora's mother Willie M. (Clark) Blanton Brown. Effie's father, Sidney, settled at Willie's farm and worked as a sharecropper growing cotton. Willie had two daughters and when it came time to ask Ora to marry him he cleverly referred to the sharecropping tradition of taking half. "That's the way he asked to marry her," Effie said. Sidney Lee ended up owning 400 acres of land adjacent to Willie's and bought Willie's farm after she died. Effie said that Sidney's land was located between Lake o' the Pines and Lone Star, Texas.
Willie was born 05 Apr 1863 to William Thomas and Texana C. (Felker) Clark. She married Isaac Washington Blanton. Their first child, Oscar, died at the age of 17 months on 23 Jul 1881. They had three more known children: Ora Alberta (1880/2), Eddie (1884), and Minnie Pearl (1886). Effie said Eddie was "mentally retarded" and lived with his mother until her death afterwhich his sister Ora took over his care. Willie's husband, Isaac, passed away at the age of 31 on 27 Mar 1887 leaving Willie a widowed young mother of a 5 yr old, a developmentally disabled 3 yr old, and an infant. Understandably, she remarried (a man whose last name was Brown) and had at least one more child: Carlton W. Brown "Carl" (1905). Effie referred to him as "Uncle Bud." The 1910 Federal Census shows that Willie was again a widow with a young child. Carl was only 5. This time she remained a widow and worked the farm that she herself owned. Effie called her, "Nanny." Both she and my great grandmother, Ola Mae Perkins Hogan, loved her very, very much and kept her memory alive their entire lives. I wouldn't hesitate to say that Willie was an extremely remarkable woman. She passed away from cancer of the womb on 15 Jan 1936. She is buried next to Isaac and their baby in the Old Bear Creek Settlement Cemetery also known as the Old Bear Creek Tabernacle, south of Linden in Cass county, Texas. Effie said that her son Ed is also buried next to them in an unmarked grave.
With Effie's notes scribbled on a yellow legal pad it was this cemetery that my father and I ventured out to find. Equipped only with a xeroxed map, a huge cell phone, and an old diesel pickup truck we turned off the highway and faded into the tangle of backwoods dirt roads. We had been at the courthouse in Linden all day and dusk was approaching. As every genealogist knows there's just something inside that overtakes all common sense when you get that close to finding a grave; we had to go. After awhile we realized that the map we had was not drawn to scale and that our destination was nowhere in sight. The cell phone had lost signal a long time ago. Each turn took us deeper into the unknown and we prayed, "Now would not be a good time to have car trouble." Then, there it was - the old tabernacle. Having asked around we had heard stories of trespassers, vandals, and bonfires gone wrong. Every image swirled in my head as we slowed down. I had never seen a cemetery of that size so old, broken, and overgrown. It was DEAD silent. The stones were beautiful. Their stories hibernated behind the neglected seclusion. The only thing left separating us was a broken gate and the sinking sun. My father shifted the truck into reverse and my heart sank. I knew we couldn't stay. One of our headlights had gone out the night before and it was a race back to the ironic safety of the highway.
We did return before the trip's end and we did find our family. Here is a list of ancestors buried at the Old Bear Creek Settlement Cemetery:
Isaac Washington Blanton
Willie M. (Clark) Blanton Brown
William Thomas Clark

A couple had to be located by Mountain Rescue after running out of daylight while walking on a Derbyshire peak.
The pair of walkers were on Kinder Scout - the highest point in Derbyshire - and ran out of daylight, forcing them to get in touch with Edale Mountain Rescue.
Despite having a map and walking equipment, the couple did not have enough light to safely descend to Edale on Saturday, February 14, at about 6pm.
They contacted Edale Mountain Rescue, who then tracked them down using SARLOC - a technology which can pinpoint a person's location using their mobile phone signal.
A statement released by Edale Mountain Rescue said: "Team contacted by a couple having run out of daylight whilst completing a walk on Kinder Scout.
"Despite being well equipped with a map and walking equipment, they had insufficient lighting to safely descend to Edale.
"They believed their location to be Grindsbrook Clough, which was confirmed via SARLOC. We sent a couple of local members to meet them and escort down to the village safely."

News of the 50th anniversary of "The Bell Jar" is interesting, if premature. Fifty years, yes, since the book came out in London under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. But it wasn't until 1971 that the novel reached the United States with Sylvia Plath listed as author. What's even more interesting to me is that people are still reading Plath and her version of that month in 1953 at the defunct, bereaved Mademoiselle magazine.
I was one of the 20 young women who, along with Plath, spent June 1953 as a guest editor at Mademoiselle. Sylvia's long gone, and I'm lucky enough to be 80 now, having survived cancer, surveries and a satisfying journalism career — grateful to be alive. Recently, Elizabeth Winder, author of "Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953," called to talk to me about that month at Mademoiselle. I told her everything I remember and am surprised I remember so much. I recently pulled out an essay I wrote in 1973 for The Ohio Review about that time. It was mean to be a reminiscence, but also the cry of a woman writer of the 1970s. Here is an edited excerpt.
We are very verbal survivors. We invoke stasis with interpretation, achieve catharsis in disclosure. Like reluctant travelers aboard electronic sidewalks, clinging to railings as if to deny propulsion toward the inevitable, we stave off loneliness and keep a grip on immortality by relating ourselves to our mutual loss: Sylvia Plath.
The more essays and memoirs, the more frequently and intensely she haunts us. I survive in limbo, at the rear of a line in the supermarket. Drugged in an aisle by fluorescence. I leaf through a magazine, a marshmallow monthly for the young, and Sylvia is back again, the subject of another nervous paean ... but extinguished. I blink past it, focus on an old photo across the page. A reprint of 20 young women smiling insincerely, their 40 arms extended to form a human star. They seem unaware that in 20 years they will return, parodying my survival.
Maybe the fault is not really in ourselves, but in our stars ... my watch ticks frantically, like a bomb or a pulse ... I see that Sylvia Plath is still at the top of the star and I'm still at the bottom.
Although the horoscopes for our ultimate orbits aren't yet in, we guest editors are counting on a favorable forecast.
— Sylvia Plath, Mademoiselle, August, 1953
By plane and train, from coastal cities and dusty inland towns, we crossed the Rockies, the Mason-Dixon and the Mississippi. Twenty — count 'em, 20 — from urban universities and the towers of academia and many a Babbittville campus thick with the rotting lilacs of that fruitful May. Eisenhower-era innocents transported (Broadway! Times Square!) to the "real-life workaday world" of Madison Avenue. Half-century girls, strangers, we assembled in the Editor's office, hugging ourselves as if to contain the private ecstasy of winning: Grace, Eileen, Carol, Sylvia, others.
We were to use our talents to help create the August College Issue, and there would be fringe benefits (a wand appeared in the Editor's hand): prizes, luncheons, interviews in fashion, communications, the arts.
We marched twenty abreast from the hotel for women on glamorous Lexington to the office on glamorous Madison. We whispered in awesome places atop pastel carpets thick as cream cheese, our palms and upper lips sodden: each too self-immobilized to involve herself in the others' worlds, yet eager to submerge identity by joining the group. I must have joined. I looked everywhere, but I seemed to be missing, marching with the chosen.
"You and Sylvia are our writers," said the Editor. "I expect great things."
Would I like them to publish my humorous pastiche on college men? I would? Consider it done and done.
Sylvia asked why I hid my literary attempts, submitting only humorous bits and pieces, and I told her I needed time to develop style, sophistication. Rural roots, I explained, were a handicap.
By 1973, the pages long buried in desk drawers turn yellow when exposed to light.
"For now," said the Editor in caps and italics, "let's put all our sparkle, shall we?, into our fashion copy."
I longed to be tanned with a swinging American champagne-colored pageboy, like Sylvia's. But I had no choice; in her opinion, humorists ("look at Benchley and Dorothy Parker") must have dark hair and pallid flesh. I remember vowing to make a study of wan, dark-haired humorists, but of course I never did that, either. We passed each other in hallways, Sylvia and I, our teeth white against the magenta lipstick of 1953.
One afternoon we were curried and carted like horses in a van to Central Park to participate in the human star photo. We posed in 94-degree sunshine in identical woolen tartans and 40-inch bust-producing longsleeved button-down boy-shirts, our arms flung wide, while a mad photographer aimed at us from a footbridge and tried to evoke a stylish delight from our general mood of prolonged humiliation. Would I have been more cooperative if I'd known that someday in a supermarket I would feel such a throb of adulthood, at the sight of myself?
Instead, I squinted, shirt wet again the small of my back, and gritted through my cheshire-cat grin, "I wish I'd remembered to dab some lipstick on my chin" — and Sylvia above gave a small yip of amusement.
Finally, near the end of that month that we thought would not end, Sylvia and I talked until the wee hours, a marathon of shared impressions, confessions of mutual ambitions and future plans. We drank a good deal of a bottle of warm white wine, which had been smuggled into my room by a boy I knew before he was kicked out of our women-only residence by someone — maybe me.
We examined our girls'-school feminist liberal-arts backgrounds: Sylvia's at Smith, mine at Mount Holyoke. We pondered self-tragedies of regional origin. Sylvia thought Iowa was mysterious and lamented my parents' thoughtlessness for raising me in a town, instead of on a farm. I told her how I used to imagine that my town was an island in the sea — cornfields surrounded my town on all sides — and I told her about trips to the Bohnsack's farm ("Bohnsack!" Sylvia cried) for corn and cucumbers and pumpkins. And she told me about growing up near water. It sounded much the same.
We discussed books and writing and careers — and how I had mismanaged my chance to be a star of stage and screen. The magazine had granted all 20 of us a chance to ladder-climb and interview any celebrity we chose in New York. Sylvia, choosing from a list that included George Plimpton of The Paris Review ("But I've met him anyway"), had interviewed author Elizabeth Bowen. I had chosen composer Richard Rodgers. I had intended to break into song, once alone with him, at which he'd scream, "A star is born!" I didn't. Nor did he.
"You could've at least hummed a bit," Sylvia said.
Some of the guest editors were startled to tears when June ended, but all of us were too tired to protest. We dispersed in different directions to have our letdowns alone. I remember Sylvia's wide painted mouth and her June Allyson pageboy. "Write to me," she said.
I never wrote to her. I forgot her, and the others — until too many years had flown by.

All over the world, the numbers of humans in academy at the altered levels takes cone-shaped shape. There are huge numbers at the elementary, but as they progress, the numbers decrease, abrogation just a few in academy education. In the Affiliated States, some 65 actor acceptance were accustomed to acquire from K to K12 in the abatement of 2015. In the aforementioned period, it was accustomed that 20.2 actor would be accessory Colleges and Universities. It is estimated that 25% of beginning top academy acceptance in the U.S.A are not able to graduate. For beginning acceptance who access colleges or universities 1 out of 3 are acceptable not accomplish it to additional year. This dropout out bulk hinders civic development, because abounding humans do not acquire the abounding training they charge to be anatomic in society. Civic development would be badly fostered, if added adults acquire education, in adjustment that they become anatomic in society.
I am not adage that all adults who were not absolutely accomplished are not arena important roles in society. There are actual arresting individuals in association who abandoned out of academy at some level. Bill Gate, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, for example, at some point abandoned out of school. Admitting this account is not exhaustive, the bulk of humans who abandoned out of academy or absitively not to accretion academy apprenticeship and yet became acknowledged are almost few. For the majority who abandoned out or discontinued education, and could not become acknowledged in their careers, it was because they lacked the ability they bare to advance their potential. If you analysis the history of those who in animosity of bottomward out or alternate ancestry acquire become successful, you would acquisition that appeared to acquire begin their life's purpose and so pursued those goals and, added importantly, they accustomed some affectionate of apprenticeship later.
Education as we all apperceive is a life-long activity. At any point in time, whether you abandoned out of academy or got ceremoniousness at your graduation, you would charge education. The academy dropout who has begin himself a vocation or acquired application needs apprenticeship so he/she can be added productive, the dropout who has accomplished the charge to academy but has 'grown accomplished academy traveling age' and desires to academy acutely needs education, managers as able-bodied as advisers charge added apprenticeship in adjustment to accumulate clip with today's rapidly alteration apple and accretion added accomplishment and cachet respectively. Somehow, the acceptable apprenticeship abased association we acquire created for ourselves and considers the 'best', banned our adventure for continuing education. For abounding people, academic apprenticeship concluded the day they abandoned out or accelerating from Top School, Academy or University, even though, technology makes it accessible for us to sit in our houses and still get superior education.
When technology – computers and internet connectivity – replaced concrete classrooms and fabricated it accessible to abstraction by ambit in absolute time, it appeared the affair of connected apprenticeship for everyone, including the dropout and the alive chic acquire been solved. It appeared, and still does, that now the abecedary charge not leave his students, administer for study-leave or leave of absence to accompany added education. It appeared the fifty-year-old woman who abandoned out of academy several years ago could now academy from home and it appeared the ancestor could apprentice what his babe is acquirements at Academy application the aforementioned accessory he uses to alarm her. That is what it appeared. Those who abandoned out of academy due to issues of accounts and acquire not aback had a advance would not benefit, and those who acquire the money would not wish to put their money into a affidavit administration and academicians akin would frown upon. So little arise to acquire afflicted for these two groups of people, admitting online Colleges and Universities abound.
Two prime issues are to blame. First, online apprenticeship is too big-ticket for the ambition accumulation of learners and second, there is the acumen that online Colleges and Universities do not accommodate holistic apprenticeship like the acceptable Colleges and Universities. As adumbrated by Ed Vosganian – architect and CEO of Academy Funding 123, the bulk of on-campus University for undergraduate is estimated at 42,000 dollars while for the aforementioned accumulation it bulk about 21,000 dollars for online universities. By allegory we would say that it bulk far beneath to abstraction via online. But we charge not lose afterimage of those who mostly acquire in online University. It is those in the average and lower classes who opt for online universities. They include; the agent who has sacrificed amusement for academy accomplishment in acknowledgment for bigger wages, the unemployed who wants to accretion attainable skills, the dropout who wants to get aback to academy in the achievement that there will be a brighter future, and the humans active in the limited allotment of the world, abnormally in the developing world, who don't even acquire the money to pay fees and so would acquire to apprentice and plan simultaneously. To these 21,000 dollars is money so huge, it is actual difficult to raise. There are humans of the academy assets chic who acquire in online universities, but online acquirements is not accustomed a part of these due to low authority and the belief associated with online education. The online institutions will acquaint you, they would not put annihilation on your affidavit to appearance that you accustomed a non-traditional education. This affectionate of advert speaks of how association ethics online education. Online apprenticeship is advised a bargain way of accepting 'watered down' education. Online Colleges and Universities were until afresh advised authority mills. This acumen still exists, admitting empiric affirmation tells us there is no alterity in superior of acceptance from acceptable Colleges and Universities on one duke and online Colleges and Universities on the other. The online Universities and Colleges are accomplishing their best to accomplish online acquirements celebrated and accompany down abstraction cost, but they cannot do it alone. With government action online acquirements can become celebrated and lower and average chic friendly.
Government should accommodate a civic framework for online education, angel accreditation, and admission scholarships and apprentice loans for acceptance in online Colleges and Universities. A civic framework to adviser the operations of all online colleges and universities should be instituted by the state, through the Department of Apprenticeship or the accordant government agency. This framework, which would be anecdotic and not accustomed in attributes would describe, for example, the minimum courses to be taken at a accustomed level, and the accustomed approach of operation of online universities and colleges afterwards prescribing specific courses or approach of operation. Accreditation is not just arduous for online Colleges and Universities; it is aswell expensive. This bulk is anesthetized to students, souring up affairs fees. If the government decides to blot bisected the bulk of accreditation, admitting there is no agreement the affairs fees will be halved, the affairs fee would be bargain somehow. Lastly, a lot of of the acceptance who opt for online colleges and universities do not acquire scholarships and apprentice loans from the state. Those who acquire something do not get huge scholarships and apprentice loans like their counterparts in acceptable Colleges and Universities. Government should accomplish scholarships and acceptance loans accessible to acceptance of online Colleges and Universities just as it does for acceptance in acceptable Colleges and Universities.
The ramifications of these interventions would absolutely be awesome. Accouterment a civic framework for online apprenticeship would crop abroad the apocryphal abrogating acumen humans acquire about online learning. Abounding anticipate online acquirements is simple and aswell the bulk of credits taken are far beneath than those taken in acceptable acquirements settings. This cerebration exists because there are some ailing advised online courses in which affidavit are awarded afterwards just a brace of assignments acquire been submitted. Such practices can be stopped, if a civic framework is developed and operationalized. A civic framework will accord believability to online learning, because a civic accustomed for online would acquire to be adhered to and so no online academy or university can just advertise certificate. Subsidizing Accreditation will crop three results. The a lot of accessible is that, it would abate affairs fees because bulk to canyon to the acceptance would be less. Subsidizing accreditation fees would animate online Colleges and Universities to seek accreditation from accrediting bodies admit by the Department of Apprenticeship or the adapted accompaniment agency. Even admitting accreditation is not compulsatory in some locations of the world, like the affiliated states, some activity that crave accompaniment licensing would not acquire amount from non-accredited Colleges and University. Prospective online learners are, usually, afraid about whether the can calmly plan with their certificates. Government action would abolish this anguish and abolish the abrogating acumen humans acquire about online apprenticeship as well. Government interventions in the anatomy of scholarship and loans would affluence the banking accountability and accomplish it accessible for those who ahead would not be able to academy to do so. In sum, government action would go a continued way to aftermath an aware association by allowing abounding humans to acquire academy education.
There are abounding humans absent to get academy apprenticeship through online Colleges and Universities so they accretion ability and skills, or enhance their ability and abilities but cannot do because of either the bulk or the ambiguity of the acceptability of the certificate. Government action in the anatomy of civic framework for online universities and colleges, subsidizing accreditation bulk and accouterment scholarships and apprentice loans would accessible the aperture for those who wish to abstraction from home. Government action can accord the affirmation that online acquirements is as acceptable as acceptable academy or university learning, and that their affidavit would be accustomed jobs that crave accompaniment licensing. It would affluence the burden on accessories in acceptable Colleges and Universities, aftermath the abstruse citizenry bare for civic development and catechumen the accepted cone-shaped appearance into a 'near' cylinder.

We will live to regret helping the Al Nusra Front-dominated rebels overthrow Assad.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the U.S. and Qatar will continue to work on more support for the Syrian opposition in the coming months.
His remarks come after Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that the U.S. will double its nonlethal assistance to the opposition. That's an additional $123 million in supplies that could include armored vehicles, body armor and night vision goggles.
Obama spoke in the Oval Office alongside the emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. The Qatari leader is one of several Mideast leaders Obama has invited to the White House following his trip to the region.
Obama also says he and the emir spoke about Egypt and Middle East peace. He says both leaders are under no illusions about the difficulties in solving the region's problems.

Singer Nick Lachey had a laugh at the expense of ex-wife Jessica Simpson's father on Tuesday, as he poked fun at rumors his former father-in-law has come out as gay.
The 98 Degrees star was a guest on the talk show "Watch What Happens Live" with his band mate and brother, Drew, when he was quizzed about his relationship with the Simpson family.
Lachey, who is now married to TV personality Vanessa Minnillo, admitted he lost touch with the singer and actress two years after their 2005 divorce, saying, "It's been years (since I've talked to Simpson). Years. Honestly, probably six years. It was like another lifetime ago."
He then took part in a question-and-answer game with host Andy Cohen and was quizzed about his ex-father-in-law, Joe Simpson, who is in the midst of a divorce from Jessica's mom, Tina.
Asked what the best thing was about cutting ties with the former minister, Lachey quipped, "I don't have to play grab [bleep] under the table on Easter Sunday!"
He quickly realized he might have landed himself in trouble after Cohen laughed and said, "That's very funny," prompting Lachey to reply, "It may not be tomorrow, but it is tonight."
Rumors about the patriarch's sexuality began surfacing last year when Tina filed to end their 34-year marriage, but the Simpson family has yet to comment on the claims.

We noted yesterday there is indeed professional hockey being played, and much of it can actually be watched on television! ESPN2 aired the much-anticipated Lev-Dynamo game, one claimed by Moscow after Alexander Ovechkin seized a mishandled puck and tucked it in for the game's only goal.
Was it enjoyable hockey? Well, it was hockey—sort of. It lacked a lot of the pace and hits NHL fans are accustomed to, and frankly it was pretty boring. But until the owners end the lockout, this is what we get.

Surely, I'm not the only one!
We already know that atheist men [allegedly] outnumber women, although I do sometimes suspect there are merely more "in the closet" atheist women who don't come out because they don't want to lose friends.
While I was on my search for truth, which ultimately led to my atheism, I didn't anticipate losing friends... but I have. In my case, it's not that they've exactly abandoned me because of my lack of faith, but we simply don't have anything in common anymore. I simply cannot just call one of my lifelong buddies up and ask for advise or get support from them... because all I'll get from them is woo-advice! "Oh, did you pray about it?!" or "All things work out for the good of those who love Him... " or "The Bible says this about your problem..." For this very reason, I also cannot call my mom when I'm upset. I can just feel that she wants to make some religious reference every time I talk about my life.
Four years after finally deciding I don't believe there's a god, this lack of emotional connection has gotten to me. I had a really good friend in 2008, but I moved away. We're still close, but our lives get in the way so we don't talk often, and we've only seen each other once, briefly, since. I'd LOVE if she lived closer, but yeah... this being an adult nonsense really prohibits one from uprooting for any reason other than money.
Basically, I feel like I'm admitting weakness by simply stating that I need a friend. I've always, always had close friends. I've never had trouble finding friends! It could be my age (everyone is getting married or having babies, thus making them unavailable). It could also be that I can't be friends with just anyone at this point because the likelihood is high that a random, nice person will also believe there's a god.
Are any of you other ladies having difficulty with this? Am I the only one who need yet lacks close girlfriends because of being atheist? What do you do to cope? Are you near family? What should we do to reconnect with our sister? Because I, for one, thrive best when I have females in my life.

Thanks for the encouragement, Sarah. I do actually have friends who are still Christian, and even some who are "spiritual". In some difficult moments, I do wish I had someone, who lived nearby, to talk to that could offer practical advice rather than "pray about it" or "put it out to the universe." Ya know? You're totally right that, as long as people are genuine, that can be really therapeutic.
I just feel like I'm going through, and have gone though, changes that few can relate to. I get tired of the assumptions made about where I've ended up. I'm not sure at what stage in your journey to enlightenment you are, but my Christian friends and family have insisted I ended up atheist because of rebellion or some bad experience with the church. It's invalidating. I don't feel like they know me, or my character, at all. I just don't feel like they can help me work through some of the things I've been thinking about.
Think Atheist has definitely helped; I've met lots of great people on this site. It just gets a little lonely in RL when I have to kinda assume everyone believes there's a god or some higher power, and that they'd be appalled to find out I don't. People recoil. So, I can guard myself by not being honest and open, and thereby not find any true friends... or I can be honest and open anyway, and have them simply reject or look down on me anyway. It's a Catch 22. I guess I'll get through it... I'm sure there's someone around here I can connect with. :P
Only recently do I understand where you are coming from with this post. I also have never had any trouble with finding friends. I still do have 'friends' but no real emotional connection with any of them. We have absolutely nothing in common, and I fear that if I try to discuss what it is that interests ME instead of all the nonsense that they always discuss that I would be rejected from the group and be left alone. So I tend to stay away from those topics.
Luckily I have a family that is also atheist/deistic who enjoy talking about religion and these kinds of things so I have an outlet in them, as well as my boyfriend who has been at my side through all of my troubled times regarding my friends.
Lately I have been feeling so different and so tired of it, not because I want to change who I am to fit in, but because I want to find people that I can relate to and who can relate to me.
Luckily, since I wrote this, a few things have changed. I quit the job I had, and that's allowed me the opportunity to have a life again. I was on-call and couldn't make plans, so that really cut me off from people. It's only been a little over a month since I left that position so I haven't quite made up for lost time, but I'm getting there... sort of.
It's still a struggle to meet people who aren't religious, even if they're not "active". I have a couple girl friends here, but one is a Christian, the other is "spiritual". The Christian is really cool and very liberal considering that she's Christian, but I obviously can't speak freely. We can hang out and have fun, and I can express my opinion on politics, and she agrees... but, to be close with someone, you have to be able go deep.
Religion was a huge part of my past and, no matter what I do, it'll always be a part of my life. You should be able to cry on a friend's shoulder sometimes... and tell them *why* you're crying. I'm sad my relationship with my mother is damaged... and religion is the wedge. I'm angry I didn't go to college earlier... and religion was the reason (I thought the "Tribulation" would start while I was away from home). LOTS of things in my past and present are affected by religion, and I simply can't open up to anyone about it unless they share my view of religion. It's so strange to think that I have to worry about offending someone by telling them what hurt me!
Anyway... baby steps. I now have a friend that I met at our Think Atheist meet-up. She lives pretty far away (an hour), but we see each other once or twice a month. It takes a while to really get to know someone when you've gotta do it in the space of two hours, one or two times a month. Still, I'm happy to have the freedom to do it now.
And, like you, I have a fantastic boyfriend. He is my best friend, but he's also a dude and I can't always talk to him. I mean, he just wants to solve all my problems, and gets frustrated when he can't. Girls know it's okay to just listen and be supportive. There aren't always answers.
So... things are getting better, and that's good. I like where I live more and more. I'll eventually have a network of people, and their different personalities/beliefs will balance me out. Although... I was just tempted to delete my Facebook account. O_o
It's great that you're making friends, even if they are theists. A theist friend is better than no friend at all. But, as you said, it's difficult to establish some kind of emotional connection when you can't share things that are a part of you for fear of offending. It seems ridiculous but this is what we have to deal with! I'm having the same problem with my friends. Our friendship is basically just on the surface. It could also be because I've distanced myself from them because I know I have nothing in common with them, so it's probably partly my own fault.
You're lucky to have met someone through a Think Atheist meet-up. There are too few atheists here in South Africa to do something like that. There would probably be 3 people who would show up.
Why did you want to delete your Facebook account?
My atheism hasn't been an obstacle to me making female friends. I just have a lot of friends who are religiously/spiritually unusual, like they're pagan or wiccan.
Do you generally avoid mocking religious people, or do you only mock Christians, so your pagan friends are safe? ;)
You may see I'm a bit sensitive about that. However, I do understand Christians being the main target of atheists' jokes since they are the majority.
I am struggling, too, but I think it's nothing time and effort can't fix. I have a sister-in-law who left Christianity about four years ago, so I have her. I am a pretty honest person, and I will tell my family, but I'm hanging out in the closet because I am anticipating how I will set boundaries, etc. Also, losing someone in your religious community is kind of like a death, so I am sensitive to the real pain people will feel.
Ironically, this is the first time in my life I have lived in such a small, conservative town. It's also the first time in my life I have only had Christian friends (locally, I mean). They all knew that I had been struggling with my faith, and they probably have noticed I haven't gone to church in forever - while my husband and kids still do! Still, I have only told one of them the result of my doubting. This is partly because I just haven't had time and partly because I know what's inevitable with such differing world views. I was already pretty weird in the first place. :P
I'm sure there are more potential friends around you than you think. It can be very difficult and find ways to make time to find them.

My Dog is Dead, Long Live My Dog
The first time I saw Carl was in his fourth week of life, a tiny English Bulldog with paws the size of caramels and a head too fat to squeeze through the bars of the baby crib he struggled to escape. The last time I saw Carl was ten years later on Christmas Eve, when I'd left him wrapped in a blanket on the cold linoleum of the vet's office. A snub nosed shit-storm come to life as a well muscled bag of wrinkled dog flesh, Carl was the very best of us for an entire decade. He passed four days ago, and the asshole has left …

Two men have been arrested and charged this week for their involvement in the stabbing of Pittsbugh Steelers offensive lineman Mike Adams. While the police case moved forward, coach Mike Tomlin provided a positive update on Adams' recovery.
The Steelers coach said Monday that Adams was doing well, just two days after the offensive lineman was stabbed during an attempted carjacking on Pittsburgh's south side.
"I visited with him a couple days this weekend. He's got great team support (and) family support," Tomlin said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We expect a full recovery. He realizes, of course, how fortunate he is. We're just glad he is going to be OK, and we're just taking it day by day.
"They're expecting six weeks or so," he went on. "He's going to go through a couple of weeks of inactivity until he can proceed with the next step, but obviously the next step for him is getting out of the hospital. We expect that to come within the next 24 hours, and he'll proceed from there."
Police said Monday that 25-year-old Michael Paranay of Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood was arrested and taken to Allegheny County jail on charges of criminal attempted homicide, aggravated assault, attempted robbery and conspiracy.
Tuesday morning, police said they had made a second arrest in the case: Dequay Means, 26, also from Hazelwood. His charges, police said, include attempted homicide, aggravated assault and attempted carjacking. They were still looking for the third person.
According to a criminal complaint, quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Means told Adams to give him Adams' black Ford F-150 Raptor. Adams said, "You aren't gonna shoot me on the street in front of people."
Means responded, the complaint said, with "I want your car, or I'll shoot you in the face and kill you in front of everyone."
Adams told police it was Paranay who then punched him in the face. Another man -- who has not yet been arrested -- was the one who stabbed him, Adams told police.

"I plan to use his services, forevermore..."
"Romo seems to really know appliances. He is very confident. On two visits to my home (one for my stove and one for my dishwasher) he had plenty of parts in his truck. No wasted time running off to the store or getting stuck in traffic. He arrives ready to do the repairs quickly, efficiently and his prices seem to be very reasonable. A good, honest, pleasant, reliable, appliance guy is hard to find. I plan to use his services, forevermore!"
John Frank - Mountain View
"My freezer is now working perfectly..."
"After calling several places for freezer repairs, Romo gave me a reasonable quote. Everyone else was twice the price or higher. Romo was very professional! He knows exactly what he's doing. Instead of replacing a part that would have cost me over $200, he was honest and admitted it just needed adjusting. The whole process was quick and easy. My freezer is now working perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the work done."
Merojan Ahoon - San Jose
"Romo showed up exactly as scheduled and did an awesome job..."
"I found Romo via a web search and he called me right back to make the appointment. Romo showed up exactly as scheduled and did an awesome job on my refrigerator. I totally trust him and his work and recommend him highly to anyone who needs appliance help. I already told all my friends about him. "
Nova Sayadian - San Jose
"Thumbs up for being professional, reasonably priced, and providing a quick turnaround..."
"Romo Appliance Repair is a great place to do business with. I had an issue with my washer and couldn't get anyone to come over and take a look at it over the weekend (my only days off). Feeling frustrated, I gave Romo a call. I spoke with the receptionist who was very nice and accommodating, about the issues I was having with my washer, and she scheduled a visit for Saturday. Romo came over Saturday afternoon, diagnosed the issue, and got it up and running quickly. Thumbs up for being professional, reasonably priced, and providing a quick turnaround."
Mike Burger - Morgan Hill
"Absolutely awesome service and experience..."
"Our refrigerator was not working properly it wasn't cooling at all. I called Romo's and he fixed my fridge quickly and what he charged us was very, very reasonable. He was a very nice guy, honest and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Romo's appliance repair!!! Absolutely awesome service and experience"

Story highlights
- Investigators will conduct DNA tests to confirm the killing of the Zetas leader
- Police guard a cemetery in central Mexico as authorities exhume his mother's remains
- Authorities have said there's no doubt they killed Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano
- The cartel chief's body was stolen from a funeral home
Investigators exhumed the mother of one of Mexico's most notorious cartel kingpins Monday, two weeks after thieves apparently made off with her son's body before authorities could conclusively confirm his identity.
Now they plan to do DNA tests to verify that the man they killed in a gunbattle earlier this month was Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, leader of the Zetas drug cartel, Mexico's attorney general's office said.
Masked federal police Monday guarded the cemetery in central Mexico that houses the mausoleum containing the remains of Lazcano's mother, Mexico's state-run Notimex news agency reported.
It was the latest chapter in a dramatic saga that has cast a cloud of mystery over what could be one of the biggest accomplishments of outgoing President Felipe Calderon's crackdown on cartels.
Mexican authorities have said they have no doubt they killed Lazcano, thanks to fingerprints and photograph evidence. But additional tests will allow them to reach 100% legal certainty, prosecutors said.
"Taking tissue samples (from a direct family member) is necessary to complete laboratory studies of the genetic fingerprint, according to the most modern and advanced protocols for identifying people," the office said.
On October 8, authorities proudly trumpeted the death of Lazcano, who was known as "El Lazca."
The next day, they revealed they no longer had his body; gunmen had stolen it from a funeral home.
They also said that members of Mexico's navy shot him dead without realizing that the man in the suspicious car they'd chased outside a local baseball game on a Sunday afternoon was the head of the ruthless Zetas cartel.
"Two people were killed, but for us, they were just two more criminals. We had no clue that it was El Lazca," Vice Adm. Jose Luis Vergara, a spokesman for the navy, said in an interview with MVS Radio shortly after authorities announced the news.
Vergara said investigators thought he was "a criminal, not even a capo, most likely a hit man in the town or something like that."
Officials said a fingerprint match after the autopsy confirmed he was the man Mexico's president described as "one of the most important and most dangerous" people on the country's list of most wanted criminals.
The United States and Mexico combined had offered rewards of more than $7 million for information leading to his capture.
Lazcano was a onetime special forces soldier who became a founding member of the Zetas, a group accused of some of the most violent atrocities that have come to define the drug war.
Lazcano, 37, joined the Mexican armed forces in 1991 and was part of its elite airborne special forces group, dedicated to battling drug cartels.
Soon after, Lazcano and several other special forces members were recruited by the Gulf cartel to create its enforcement arm, the Zetas.
After the partnership ended in 2010, the Zetas split into a major drug trafficking organization and have since branched out into extortion, kidnapping and human smuggling.
Analysts have said it is unclear what impact Lazano's death will have on the Zetas.
The cartel had been in the midst of a bloody turf war with its former employer, the Gulf cartel, and also with the Sinaloa cartel.
The fight for access to lucrative smuggling routes in northern and central Mexico has left thousands of civilians dead.

Reaching the final of Masterchef 2007 was a rollercoaster of emotion, with huge highs and lows, but I loved every minute and learnt a huge amount. I owe a great deal to John and Gregg who had faith in my ability when I did not believe in myself. Since competing on the programme my life has changed considerably. I now write cookery columns for two magazines, give cookery demonstrations and am just working on my 13th cook book - unlucky number for some but not for me!!! I love all forms of country cooking, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. This blog is to enable me to share with you a few of my recipes and baking ideas. Enjoy Hannah xxxx
