CAS Dean's Office to host internship information session[04.02.2013]
TAMPA, Fla. -- The College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Office Internship Program is now recruiting for new interns for the upcoming summer and fall semesters.
There will be two separate information sessions. The first session will be at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2 in ISA 5020 and the other will be at noon on April 3 in ISA 5020. Interested students should attend only one session.
Students have the opportunity to intern in one of five different areas including: public relations and marketing, news and feature writing, broadcast and video production, photography and social media.
Dominique Benjamin, a broadcast intern, has been with the program for two semesters. As a double major studying mass communications and Africana studies, he said this internship has diversified his skills as communicator.
"We're given both the creative freedom and the personal guidance we need to grow as professionals," Benjamin said.
This internship is a great way to build your résumé and portfolio, and a chance to take away knowledge that will help you with your future endeavors.
Michele Dye, the communications and marketing director for CAS, is constantly teaching the interns new skills that will help them succeed in the future. There are guest speakers, workshops and seminars to further their professional development.
"This program is designed for the motivated student who enjoys working in a collaborative, creative setting," Dye said. "It's a fast-paced environment, and you have to be able to juggle multiple assignments and meet deadlines. Even though it's a lot of work, we all have a lot of fun, and my former interns have said how much this experience helped them in their current job. I'm proud of the program we've created and remain committed to providing an exceptional internship experience for USF students."
Carrie Murawski, a sociology and communication double major who's been interning for four consecutive semesters, said she enjoys being able to take on different assignments and expand her skill set.
"I've learned skills that I can take with me anywhere I go," Murawski said.
Throughout the semester all of the CAS interns have been blogging about their experiences. To get a real glimpse into what they do, please take a look at the Dean's Office Interns' Blog.
If you are interested in interning in the summer or fall 2013 semester this information session is a great way to meet current interns who are more than willing to answer questions and share their experiences, learn about the application process, gain a deeper insight about this internship program and enjoy free pizza.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. on April 19 to CPR 107. Interviews will take place on campus sometime between April 25-May 3.

In many early cultures hunters would prepare the skin of an animal they hunted and wear it because they believed that the spirit of the animal would give them strength and wisdom, but also as a memorial of sorts to honour the animal whose life they took, and as a way to thank the Gods for providing them with important sustenance.
Throughout the times and in various cultures the skill to preserve the skin of an animal or bring it "back to life" was a highly respected craft in the hands of priests or shamans. The ancient Greeks called these skilled professionals "Taxidermists", a title still in use today. The word "taxidermy" is made up of the Latin word "taxis" (arrange, arranging the order of things) and the word "derma" (skin).
Modern taxidermy is a multi-faceted practice that involves a great many skills and crafts ranging from carpentry, molding and sculpting to painting and drawing which requires an intimate knowledge of animal anatomy and movement. All these talents combined are required to create a replica of an animal that looks so real and natural you wouldn't know the difference at a cursory glance. Good taxidermy work is expensive but the memory of that special animal you took will last with minimal care for many generations to come.
It is common for many hunters to point out that a particular mount on their walls was "shot by my grandfather." Often there is a handwritten note attached to the back of the mount telling the story of the hunt. Memories don't get better than that.
I always have been a great admirer of good taxidermy and continually marvel at the skill that it takes to create a replica of a live animal that is the perfect likeness down to the minutest detail. Seven years ago when Heidi and I moved to Merritt I was surprised to learn that this city, with its long and lively hunting tradition, didn't have a taxidermist in town.
Well the good news is that this has changed. Two years ago Steven Beckley, a very talented taxidermist from Mckenzie, B.C moved to Merritt. Steven began his taxidermist career mainly for the reason of preserving the animals he has taken in North America and Africa and because he was fascinated by the art of taxidermy. Steven loves perfection and that is another reason why he chose to mount his own trophies. A phrase that kept coming up during our conversation was: "It has to look real." How dedicated Steven is to his work becomes evident when you see the many certificates of excellence and awards hanging on the wall and of course there are the finished mounts and works-in-progress in his garage that look so real that you're inclined to touch them to convince yourself that they are not alive.
Steven Beckley has learned his trade from the best in the business: Brian Dobson who operates Artistic Taxidermy in Alberta. Brian Dobson is considered the dean of North American taxidermy artistry with a long list of prizes and awards for his outstanding work and craftsmanship. Steven is destined to follow his tutor's and mentor's footsteps; his work is an outstanding testament to this fact. To see Steven's taxidermy, go online to Facebook and see "Beckley's Wilderness Taxidermy Studio". I am glad we finally have a good taxidermist in Merritt, it was a long time coming and in this case well worth waiting for. I know who will preserve the memories of my future hunts- welcome to Merritt Steven Beckley.

Since its spring 2008 opening, Clementine has doubled in size, acquired a liquor license and a regular bar crowd, and blossomed into a full-scale dining destination.
But Clementine remains true to its original charming self. The addition of a seated bar hasn't kept the young homeowners along this stretch of Harford Road from piling in here. Winston Blick, the chef and co-owner with Cristin Dadant, has stayed grounded in the sophisticated comfort food that first earned him a following at SoBo Cafe in Federal Hill.
I've used Vermont for a shorthand description of Clementine's culinary inclinations and rugged good looks, but I think I'd do better with Portland, Maine, where a colony of young chefs have imposed their own wood-splitting style on the farm-to-table movement. You could safely place Blick in the head-to-hoof crowd. And though he runs easily with the followers of the local and the seasonal, he's been known to go rogue. Roasted asparagus was on the menu in mid-November because, we were told, "Winston really loves asparagus."
When Clementine opened, Baltimore diners were just getting used to seeing charcuterie plates on dinner menus. No one has devoted more attention to this, with more consistently lovely results, than Blick and his crew. Saying the charcuterie course remains the highlight of a Clementine dinner is not a criticism of the rest of the kitchen's work, which, at its best, ranks among the tops in town. That the kitchen is also capable of the occasional dud speaks, at least to me, about its adventurous spirit more than anything.
Clementine's menu easily accommodates farmhand entrees like bacon-wrapped meatloaf and turkey pot pie and classic bistro items like escargots bouillabaisse and seared duck breast, as well as an occasional Asian-influenced fandango like miso-marinated grilled hiramasa, a top-notch yellowfish usually confined to sushi bars.
But about that charcuterie, which is sold both on Clementine's premises and at farmers' markets: It's top of the line. When we visited, the charcuterie plate, which changes often, included a snappy-skinned knockwurst, a luscious house-cured pork loin and bread-and-butter pickles. There was also a chicken-liver pate goosed up with dried cranberries, rum and honey, so rich and wicked that I wished I could eat it out of a pint container with a spoon.
A few charcuterie items are served by themselves. One night, the kitchen had whipped up a batch of teres major tartare; another night, it was nervily dressing some beautiful pork rillettes with a maple gastrique.
There are handful of other appetizer options, like a bowl of steamed mussels, scrubbed and healthy, served in a strong, malty broth of Flying Dog K-9 Cruiser Winter Ale with capicola and shallots. This was served with slices of grilled baguette but not enough of them — never enough — for broth-sopping.
Duck nachos didn't come off. The duck, had it been more thinly shredded, would have laced more evenly throughout the homemade tortilla chips. I think one of us got all of it. And the homemade cheese sauce, whatever it is, doesn't add any perceptible flavor. The "Fantastical Mac & Cheese" magically stands up all by itself on the plate, which Clementine's legion of very young customers must love. But adults will want sharper cheese flavors in their macaroni and cheese or, let's be honest, some pork mixed in it.
The best of Clementine's entrees are excellent. Chief among them is the panko-crusted seared bluefish, served with smoked Gouda mashed potatoes and tomato confit. The bluefish itself, a fragile thing often man-handled by kitchens, gets kid-glove treatment at Clementine. Stripped of its murky bits, its sweet flavor shines through. The panko crust adds warmth and texture. And there's this knockout plate of big-flavored, assertively spiced catfish-crawdad sausage; it's served with sauteed fennel, garlic and tarragon over black beans and jasmine rice and flanked by three pickled shrimp, bone white, and topped with caper remoulade.
There is good flavor throughout a roasted chicken breast but a few too many dry patches. It's served with smoked Gouda mashed potatoes, a bright leek-and-shallot beurre blanc and asparagus spears, which Blick likes to roast up to a salty snap. Hooray for asparagus in November. Those smoked Gouda mashed potatoes show up a lot on the menu, which says maybe more about sensible kitchen economics than a lack of imagination. I see no problem with it.
The fourth entree consisted entirely of homemade blue-cheese compound butter. That's how it tasted to us anyway, which was too bad, really. Underneath the butter was a perfectly grilled and juicy pork chop, with its own fine flavor.
Stocked generously with good domestic and imported beers, the bar has been a great addition. The cocktail program, which this season is at play with ciders, nectars and syrups, is exemplary, but the somewhat incoherent wine list could easily be rearranged to work better for the diner. Desserts are mostly old-fashioned cakes, some of which are contributed by Blick's mother. The coconut cake, especially, is blue-ribbon material.
Clementine is comfortable and, yes, it's Maine-cozy. On my recent visits, I saw a lot of people here talking to each other, the way people used to do in restaurants. The staff seems devoted to Clementine, which is always great to see.
An evening's only awkward moment might be the first few seconds, when incoming customers step into Clementine's entrance area. This space, adjacent to the bar, is ill-defined, and customers seem uncomfortable standing in it.
Woodberry Kitchen alum Andy Tzortzinis has recently joined Clementine's front-of-house staff. He'll figure something out.

At seven sharp, just as the sound of the foyer clock was fading from the walls, Edmund was sitting alone in the Dining Hall at the head of the table, staring at his place setting.
With his attention not being pulled between eating and watching Matron, he could see the subtle differences, now. The utensils were not, as he suspected last night, different sizes for different people. There were five spoons, four knives, and seven forks, along with three plates, four bowls, and six glasses, all of different shape, size, and design.
One of the forks had a sharp curved tine, while another had small barbs at the tips. One of the spoons had a faintly serrated edge, while another had tiny divots pressed into the bowl. The smallest knife was only a little bigger than a single tine of the largest fork, and the largest spoon was almost as big as the small water bowl. The six glasses were all different heights, widths, and shapes, though only one was filled with water while the others sat empty.
As Edmund stared at the bizarre silverware, the servant's door opened to reveal Ung wheeling in a large cart with a big soup tureen and a large silver ladle with an ivory grip carved into the shape of a skeleton. With a loud squeak, he began to push the ornate metal cart towards the head of the table. Edmund watched as Ung carefully filled his bowl with a large ladle full of soup. It was green, thick, and creamy, and was completely devoid of anything floating in it. It smelled a bit like grass, and a bit like mushroom.
In the orphanage, Mrs. Mapleberry had been very adamant about proper eating etiquette. She had been adamant that everyone had to be present and sitting at the table before anyone could take a bite. Sometimes, everyone got very hungry indeed while they waited for the older orphans to wrangle the younger ones into their seats. Now, sitting alone at the massive table, Edmund was torn between waiting for anyone else to arrive and sampling the curious concoction in front of him.
He waited for almost a quarter of an hour. He didn't dare ask the motionless Ung where Matron's cousins were, much less if it was safe to eat without them. He tried to ignore the faint creaks and rattling grit that echoed from deep in the Mansion. Once he was positive he could hear a door slam shut somewhere in the distance. Ung simply stared, quiet and stoic
Finally, Edmund took a tentative sip of his soup and was disappointed to learn it tasted almost exactly the same as it smelled. He looked up at Ung to see if he could catch a look of approval or reproach. There was nothing; Ung was as still and stoic as a marble statue.
Edmund had a few more sips of soup and put his spoon down. It seemed safe to stop there; even Matron wouldn't be able to tell that he had eaten anything before the guests arrived. Sitting back in his chair, Edmund continued to wait.

Sudbury entertainment briefs: Music, comedy and art
Funny, hip and cool
Two of Canada's fastest-rising comics are on their way to the Nickel City this month. Sudbury Performance Group has booked Jason Allen and Marc-Anthony Sinagoga as its January headliners.
Allen is a stand-up comic from London, Ont., now living in Hamilton. He has travelled the country, working with such headliners as Tom Segura, Brian Posehn, Kevin Pollak, Jeremy Hotz and MTV's Jackass as part of their Canadian tour. Allen has been featured in comedy festivals such as JFL 42, the Brantford Comedy Festival, the Border City Comedy Festival and the Cottage Country Comedy Festival.
Sinagoga is a young stand-up comedian who was born and raised in Richmond Hill. Audiences gather to see him relay his outlandish life experiences with brilliant imitation, wit and loveable stage presence. He recreates his life experiences as an overweight Italian going against the family grain in a melting-pot society.
The two comedians perform at the Trevi Bar & Grill, 1837 Lasalle Blvd., at 8 p.m. on Jan. 26. Advance tickets are $20, or $25 at the door the day of the show. They are available online at sudburyperformance.ca or at the Trevi Bar & Grill.
DeCarle returns
The Motley Kitchen is happy to announce that Russell deCarle will be the first artist in 2019 to be presented as part of its dinner-and-a-show series, which takes place Jan. 17.
DeCarle is no stranger to awards and accolades – his years as the lead vocalist and bassist of the iconic Canadian country roots band, Prairie Oyster, were rewarded with six Juno Awards, more than a dozen Canadian Country Music Awards, and enough gold and platinum records and number one singles to fill a living room wall. The band was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008. He will be accompanied by ace guitarist Steve Briggs, who is always subtle, tasteful and understated, but central to deCarle's sound.
Dinner is sold out, but there are some show-only seats still available for $25 each. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling The Motley Kitchen at 705-222-6685 or by dropping by during one of their brunches on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Zine-making drop-in
Drop into the Art Gallery of Sudbury, 251 John St., for some hands-on zine making. There will be tonnes of materials on hand, but feel free to bring your own. Come with an idea in mind or come seeking inspiration.
The studio will be open every Monday from Jan. 14 to Feb. 4 from 4-6 p.m. for any aspiring or veteran zinsters and everyone in between.
The event is free/pay-what-you-can. Contact Alexie at the gallery for more info, at 705-675-4871 ext. 225 or email@example.com.

Have you been given a brief from a health client and felt confused about how to conduct research for the project?
It could be that you're overwhelmed with conflicting ideas.
Or perhaps you have too much research to choose from to support your writing.
Not knowing where to find high-quality sources – or how long to spend researching the issue or health topic – can also leave you feeling confused and frustrated.
While you don't need to have a medical degree to be a health writer, you do need to be able to conduct research adequately.
Well-researched content is more likely to be of a high quality, scientifically accurate and based on up-to-date medical evidence – meaning your readers will be able to make the best choices for their health after reading your content.
What is "research"?
Research is generally defined as the investigation of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
When you're conducting research for a writing project, it's about informing yourself – that is, learning about a topic you know little about so you can write about it well.
Researching to support your writing isn't just typing a few keywords into PubMed and selecting sources from the search results list. In fact, this may not always provide the best sources.
As you research, you'll want to read widely from a variety of sources.
Where do I find sources for my research?
Firstly, understand the project's key requirements which should be outlined in your project brief, or during the project agreement stage with your client.
Then, work out where the knowledge gaps are. The sources you choose will always depend on your project's key requirements.
As you conduct research for your project, you'll encounter various types of sources:
- Primary sources are original documents that are written during the study to offer an inside experience, such as conference papers, theses, patents or interview transcripts. They can also include data sets that have been tabulated but not interpreted.
- Secondary sources interpret or analyses primary sources and are generally, journal article reviews, websites, blogs, textbooks or databases (such as MEDLINE)
- Tertiary source is the distilled information from the collection of primary and secondary sources, such as almanacs, manuals, textbooks or a medical dictionary.
Which sources are the most reliable?
In general, primary sources are not considered reliable sources of high-quality evidence.
Bibliographic and empirical research published in the top medical journals is a great start, paying close attention to literature reviews or systematic reviews.
As you know, there are many health-related websites and blogs full of articles summarising health topics and offering medical advice. The most reliable websites tend to include those written by medical professionals (eg Web MD, Mayo Clinic) as well as government-run websites. While health blogs and websites can be useful for background reading, never rely on these alone. If you're referencing or writing about a medical study, always go back to the original journal article and read it in full.
To find good secondary and tertiary sources, you might also consider University publications, research organisations, and medical guidelines from expert bodies or white papers.
How many sources should you read?
You can never read too much research to understand a topic, but you can be selective about which sources to choose to reference in your writing.
Reading and understanding your sources can mean reading about competitors, evidence that supports contrary findings or more recent evidence.
Being equipped with quality and up-to-date evidence means your writing will be relevant and accurate.
When enough is enough
Knowing your limits though is important, and there will inevitably come a point when you have read enough and gathered enough evidence to support your project.
The best gauge to know when you have done enough research is yourself. Your synthesis and breadth of knowledge of the health topic is the most reliable tool to determine when you have enough evidence to support your writing.
And knowing you can feel confident that you will be delivering well-researched, high-quality health writing.

Yesterday, the seasonal flower park "The Keukenhof" opened again. I'm planning my visit based on the weather1 in the next two weeks and any free days I can schedule. Of course, this year I will bring my new camera and a new tripod: this should be fun!
Visiting the Keukenhof has become an annual event and as soon as the first sprigs of Spring appear, I start checking my calendar and the weather reports!
More on my previous visits:
- Keukenhof in May
- Photo time: Keukenhof Visit
- Keukenhof Visit
- At the Keukenhof
- Forgotten Photos
- Major Photo Update
- I keep track of the weather before my visit, because so many of the flowers are outside and they need good weather (enough moisture and sun) to really grown into their magnificence. Cold, wet weather: I will wait until the end of the opening period; sunny, dry weather: I will try to be there early in the opening period. ↩

Don't let your large appliances end up in a landfill. In fact its now illegal to dump appliances in more than 20 states. Older appliances typically contain a tremendous amount of steel, especially a water heater.
If you are unsure about where your local recycling centers are, start by contacting your refuse and sanitation company. Even if they don't offer recycling programs they should be able to point you in the proper direction for finding where to deposit your appliances. You can also search the database of the Steel Recycling Institute and OurEarth.org for recycling centers near you.
The EPA Energy Star program is also a good resource for helping you determine how to recycle your appliances.

We had a Superintendent's workshop this morning. The focus was transporting special needs students with a focus on autism. Sad, sometimes frustrating stuff. We've had this speaker before and I always enjoy her workshops. She was able to make us laugh (mostly at ourselves) while talking about a tough topic. I took away some new ways of looking at different situations. I don't know if there are really more special needs kids now than when I went to school or if we just recognize more disabilities or maybe just label kids too much, but it seems like I get more special kids each year. Throw in kids who are having trouble at home or starting into puberty and my bus with 50 -60 kids can be a real challenge. I don't know how the folks who drive the really big buses (75+) manage on their own and I give them a lot of credit!
After our workshop many of us headed over to set up for the big fundraiser we are having for a co-worker tomorrow. She is battling cancer for the second time. Raffle items were put in baskets, tables decorated, food cooked and most everything was set by the time I left. I'm on the clean up crew as I will be at a Safety Fair with the School Bus Training Team during the day. I'm looking forward to both events and I wish it had worked out that they were on different days. Liz's birthday party is also tomorrow and I feel terrible that I won't be able to be there. She's having her party at the bowling alley. John is going and with all of the kids I doubt she'll miss me too much but still . . . . . Why is it that things always seem to work out this way?
I think that after tomorrow my life will settle down considerably! The weather is forecast to warm back up some and I hope to get some fall garden chores done.

Lucky me has been sick lately, so I haven't been able to partake in the writerly festivities.
Ohmidog, I just wrote 'sicked lately'. Speaking of Dog, last Sunday's Dog's Tales was a superstar version of the weekly event with international writers like Elif Batuman, Tiffany Murray, and DBC Pierre spinning yarns for us for the MWF version of the night.
Dog's Tales co-host Josephine Rowe opened with an off-the-cuff about father and daughter miscommunications, whilst Kalinda Ashton thought she'd forego the leather armchair for her performance. Elif Batuman cracked up at her own jokes, Dog's Tales patron David Carruthers told a more formalised version of his bikie gang story, and DBC Pierre drawled about tequila and skin. I got to listen to Tiffany Murray a second time (I had seen her earlier at The Lifted Brow event) and was treated to Carmel Bird's snack-sized piece about fun buns. FUN.
I've made some bootlegs of Dog's Tales. (What kind of unofficial MWF blogger would I be without unofficial tubes/photoblogs?) Elif Batuman's performance seems to be the least shaky so far:
For those who enjoyed the night, Dog's Tales happens at the Dog's Bar every Thursday night. There's talk about changing the event to Tuesday night, so check with the venue before you start your journey southside.

Though it's mostly only used for feeds on the better pens nowadays, hard rubber is a wonderful substance ideally suited to making pens. It's light, durable, warm to the touch and easily machined to a fine tolerance. That being the case, why did it give way so rapidly and completely to celluloid? A large part of the answer, I think, lies in its lack of versatility. Once you've made red hard rubber, the various Waterman Ripples, Wahl Eversharp's delightful Rosewood and the array of machined patterns, where do you go? It's often repeated that machining curves into hard rubber was difficult and this was another reason for change, but I think that's just one of the perpetuated myths of pen history. The black hard rubber torpedo-shaped pens that Swan made in the nineteen-forties have as extreme curves as anything ever made in celluloid. No, I think the search for a new material was driven by the lack of options hard rubber offered, especially in colour.
Celluloid really was the answer. Any colour in the spectrum, any pattern that could be designed was possible using celluloid. It, too, machined well, and took a wonderful polish. The lustrous marbles of the the nineteen-thirties cannot be bettered, even using today's acrylics. It is true that it had a tendency to burn near-explosively and it required many months of curing in a controlled atmosphere, but these were difficulties that the industry was prepared to deal with. A few manufacturers like Waterman, Wahl-Eversharp and De La Rue persisted with hard rubber for a while because they had made a substantial investment in it, but the clock could not be turned back. In a few short years celluloid was king.
It doesn't do to be too radical, though, especially in the British pen market. You may lose the more conservative among your customer base. Though celluloid was welcomed, there was continuity with the old hard rubber designs. The machined patterns that were applied to black hard rubber pens were copied on celluloid models. In some cases, like Conway Stewart's No 479 Universal Pen, it takes more than a cursory glance to decide which examples are black hard rubber and which are celluloid.
Which brings me to this pen:
It was advertised as a mottled hard rubber pen, and at first glance appears to be so, but it's actually celluloid in a pattern that fairly faithfully replicates MHR. In shape, if you ignore the Art Deco stepped clip, it's vaguely Duofold-ish, and was probably made in the early nineteen-thirties. It's an English pen called "The Britannic" and I suspect it's really a Platignum. Why would Mentmore/Platignum, a very commercially astute company, produce such a backward-looking pattern if not to cater to the taste of their more traditional customers?
Though it has never regained its earlier preeminence, hard rubber has never quite gone away. It remained in use for clip screws, sections and feeds on most pens, and it was revived by Mabie Todd for a range of lever fillers and leverlesses in the nineteen-forties. Some European companies have experimented with it in modern times and it has remained popular in India. I'm very fond of it myself and my small collection of user pens includes several hard rubber examples, favourite among them a Mabie Todd Swan Leverless 4461.

Cockroaches develop through a process called gradual metamorphosis. In this process, the immature roaches look very much like the adults. The nymphs develop wings as they mature. Mature roaches have fully developed wings.
When a female cockroach becomes an adult, she is able to produce eggs. Several species of cockroach can produce eggs without being inseminated. This is called parthenogenesis. Most of these unfertilized eggs do not hatch.
Male roaches usually inseminate female cockroaches. After mating once, the female roach can produce several batches of eggs without mating again. The female cockroach produces eggs inside of a protective capsule. The capsule is called an ootheca.
Each species of cockroach produces an ootheca that is unique in shape and color. Most oothecae are about 0.5″ long. The color ranges from tan to black. The eggs are arranged in two rows inside the capsule. The American roach, like many other species, usually has 14-16 eggs inside the ootheca. The German roach usually produces more than 30 eggs in each ootheca.
The female roach finds a dark, quiet location and deposits the egg capsule within a few hours after it is formed. The female roach often leaves the ootheca in a warm, humid location. There is usually a food source near the place where the female roach drops the ootheca.
There are some exceptions to this pattern. Roaches in the Blaberidae family retract the egg case into their body. The nymphs emerge from the female after they hatch from their eggs.
Female brownbanded roaches find warm, dry places to place their egg cases. They usually glue them in high places — on crown moldings, behind picture frames, or on closet shelves.
Female German roaches carry the ootheca on their bodies for the entire month that it takes for the eggs to develop. In heavy infestations, it is common to see female German roaches with egg cases on the back of their abdomens. When the eggs are almost ready to hatch, the female drops the capsule in a crack or crevice. If she is threatened, she will drop the capsule before it is ready to hatch.
When the cockroach eggs are ready, the nymphs break out of the eggshells and the ootheca. They forage for food and develop without any help from an adult cockroach.

Yes, I know that was a bit of a flurry of words. But the idea of 'conditions' (aka The August Project) was to end up with 31 poems - not necessarily one written every day but one for every day.
So they were all written this month and, no, those last ones weren't just written tonight. I extracted them from notebooks and recent drafts. I didn't post much last week as I was unwell, bit of spring flu.
I saw the Al Gore movie tonight. That was a blow to the head. Not new, mind, but necessary.

March 2017
Project Congo, in partnership with Worldwide Labs installed a new laboratory at Centre Medico-Chirurgical de Goma which will allow for diagnostic testing resulting in higher quality medical care for patients in Bukavu, DRC. The lab includes microscopes, centrifuges, refrigerator, and a variety of test equipment all set up to run on car batteries. This gives doctors the ability to perform blood and urine analysis both for their own patients, and as a service to other health facilities in the area (providing an income stream).
Worldwide Labs is a nonprofit based in Michigan that purchases and accepts donations of used quality laboratory equipment. They completely refurbish the equipment and provide technicians to install it onsite and train doctors, nurses and lab techs. James
Borody was the lab technician who installed the lab and provided training. Prior to joining WWLabs, James spent 11 years living in Niger. He speaks French fluently.

Spring Wreath
A seasonal spring wreath for the front door...
I made by weaving yellow dogwood branches and pussy willow stems into a circle.
I also added two little artificial birds and hung with ribbon and a lace bow.
Happy Easter.

We are reminded by the CDC that each year5-20% of the US population is infected with seasonal influenza and approximately 36,000 people die while over 200,000 people are hospitalized due to flu complications. We have received a number of requests to provide information via our web site for upcoming flu clinics. . For more comprehensive information regarding Influenza, please go to the CDC Influenza web site
SYMPTOMS OF FLU may include:
- Fever(usually high) Runny/stuffy nose
- Headache Muscle aches
- Fatigue Stomach symptoms, such
- Dry cough nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- Sore throat
Flu viruses spread in respiratory droplets caused by coughing and sneezing. They usually spread from person to person but sometimes people become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Flu can be passed 1 day before and up to five days after becoming sick. That means you can pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick as well as while you are sick.
The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccination each fall. There are two types of vaccines: The "flu shot" is given with a needle and is approved for use in people older than 6 months, this includes healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. The nasal spray flu vaccine, is approved for use in healthy people 5 years to 49 years of age who are not pregnant.
Nationwide, seasonal flu cases are spiking at higher levels than previous years.
Wayne County public health is urging all residents to get their flu shot. The flu vaccine is your best defense against seasonal flu.
Everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine. While we can't say for certain how severe this season will be, we can say that a lot of people are getting sick with seasonal flu.
Anyone who has not already been vaccinated should do so now.
While the timing of flu seasons is impossible to predict, based on past experience it's likely that flu activity will continue for some time.
There are steps you can take in your daily life to help protect you from getting the flu.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
- Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep and exercise, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat healthy food.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If a tissue is unavailable, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
- If you're sick, STAY HOME!! Seasonal Flu spreads too easy in close environments.
- If you have been out sick with flu-like illness, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
Wayne County Public Health has flu vaccine available.
If you are in need of a flu vaccine, please call 315-946-5749 to schedule an appointment.
Flu vaccinations can also be found at your primary care physician or your local chain pharmacy.

Plastic Surgery for Cankles?
An interesting article from the Daily Mail describes some recent techniques in treating the "cankles:"
You can have Botox injections in the balls of your feet so you can wear high-heels for longer without pain; operations to shorten toes so they look dainty in Louboutins - and now you can have France's hottest export: cankle removal.
While most women are fortunate to have a narrowing where the lower calf and ankle meet, giving a shapely contour, some have little or no discernible difference in shape - which is known as cankles. Age and status is not a factor, and nor is whether you have long or short legs, are slim or overweight. Cankles are inherited, just as you may have inherited your mother's apple or pear body shape.
The article goes on to describe liposuction treatments for cankles, with and without laser-assistance. Traditionally this area has been a tough one to treat because of the risk of contour deformities and fluid collections. I have treated one set of cankles in five years, but was happy with the result.
It does appear that there is hope for all those who suffer from a case of the cankles!

Years ago I used to see photos of Ashley Judd with what appeared to be cankles. I even saw a photo spread of her in filmy dresses wearing a big pair of wellies with them. Then, a few years ago I started seeing her in dresses with small strappy heels and nice legs. I always wondered if she had cankle surgery of some sort.

I noticed the same thing about Ashley Judd, but cankle surgery? Come on now, people will get surgery on just about anything these days. I know if I had the funds, I wouldn't be spending it on fixing my cankles..
My solution for imperfect ankles: ankle strap shoes and boots. :)

We all know that even though we may like to do things, such as playing sports, cooking, reading, and gardening, we don't always do these things. Why? My least favorite four letter word holds the answer: T-I-M-E. It's a mystery how it escapes us somedays (except when we get distracted watching Michael Bublé videos…or is that just me?), but we never seem to have enough. As a result, the things we like to do become the things that we do occasionally. But wouldn't it be awesome if "occasionally" didn't have to mean once a month or worse? What if it could be more often? What would it take?
Consider the hobby of cooking. For a woman who can work anywhere from eight to thirteen hours a day, there is one thing that will ALWAYS get in my way…TIME. So I have learned to cut corners! Wam-bam-thank-you-ma'am! These moments come at me usually after 8 o'clock at night when I am starving and really really over peanut butter and jelly. Tonight, my gastronomic obsession with gnocchi and a pack of this potato goodness purchased 4 months ago is what inspired me. I wondered why I had passed it up for months and, stay with me as I realize that this sounds like the LAZIEST thing ever. It shamefully hit me that I literally couldn't be bothered to boil the water! And with gnocchi, it's not just the boiling! You gotta make sure those royal pillows don't get stuck to the bottom of your pan (apparently they have separation anxiety)! Then you gotta catch the suckers as soon as they float to the top and gingerly spoon them out three at a time while all of the other ones cry out at you, "I'm melting! I'm melting! Oh, what a world, what a world!" (yes…my food talks to me. Deal with it.). I see this starchy drama unfold in my mind each time I look at the package, shudder, and go for the jar of Trader Joes Creamy PB. Well, tonight, I decided to conquer the divas and treat them like bronchitis, cuz even Sweet Brown knows that ain't nobody got time for that. Say "hello" to my epiphany. All lazy anti-water-boilers out there, you're welcome.
In 18 minutes I had a delicious, nutritious and warm homemade bowl of Gnocchi Primavera that used to take me 25 minutes. And the only reason that this didn't take less time is because I had to run outside to my garden for tomatoes and herby goodness. Forgive my lack of preparation.
3 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil (enough to cover bottom of pan)
1 heaping TB crushed garlic
1 lb Frozen Sliced Zucchini (I like the frozen as the ice adds moisture)
17 oz Fornari Potato Gnocchi
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
1 c water
4 TB grated Cravero Parmigiano (or whatever you have on hand)
30 Teardrop red/yellow tomatoes
2 sprigs Rosemary
10 large Basil leaves
1. Heat olive oil in cast-iron skillet/pan (I'm a Le Creuset fan).
2. Throw in and toss garlic until browned.
3. Throw in and toss zucchini until ice melts. Keep burners on medium-high heat.
4. Dump in gnocchi pillows and toss in mixture for 2 minutes until evenly coated and warmed.
5. Add in water and turn heat to medium. Cover and steam/cook for 5 minutes
6. Slice tomates lengthwise. Wash herbs and let sit; Do not dry or cut.
7. Stir gnocchi and add in parmiggiano. Cover again and cook for 2 more minutes.
8. Add tomatoes to gnocchi. In your hands, gather all of the herbs and tear in chunks over the gnocchi. Once again, you could chop them but a) I like the rustic, non-uniform look it gives, b) I love that herbal burst of Italy that mates with the steam for a Aroma Therapy baby and 3) I aint' got no time for that.
9. Toss tomatoes and herbs until evenly mixed. Cover and let cook for another 3 minutes.
10. As my Mamela always says, "En Guete!"
